Brandon Maillet-Fevens made his amateur debut at “NEF 36” in November 2018, losing via submission in the first round. Since that time, Maillet-Fevens has not looked back. He went on a three-fight win-streak in 2019, finishing all three of his opponents in the process. Most recently, Maillet-Fevens was successful over Tyler Knights (0-1) with a second-round submission at “NEF 41” last November. He currently represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) based in Lewiston, ME.
“I’m excited and grateful for the opportunity to once again get back in the NEF cage,” said Maillet-Fevens. “I think Nathaniel presents some challenges I haven’t had to deal with yet, but we’ve been hard at work improving every aspect of my game and I’m going to be comfortable wherever the fight goes.

Wilder vs. Zúrte odvetu Hĺbkový náhľad a analýza
Podľa: Tony Penecale
Majstrovstvá v ťažkej váhe boli vždy najpozoruhodnejšou cenou v tomto športe. Za posledných pár rokov, záujem o prvých panovníkov sa zmenšil. To sa zmenilo vďaka vzrušujúcej sile Deontaya Wildera a charizmatickému prejavu Tysona Furyho.
Ich prvé stretnutie sa skončilo kontroverznou remízou, zistia, že opäť zdieľajú prsteň. Obaja muži s neporazenými rekordmi a iba jednou remízou (proti sebe) na ich hlavnej knihe.
Veľkí muži sa dostávajú do centra pozornosti nespornej ceny. „Bronzový bombardér“ a „Cigánsky kráľ“ .... Kto bude kraľovať?

STYLE
Wilder:
Divoké hojdanie, často nedbalý bojovník s dlhými rukami a silou meniacou boj v oboch pästiach, Wilder rád nastavuje dostrel svojou olovenou rukou a sleduje ho rôznymi silovými údermi. Svoju silu si nesie neskoro do svojich bojov a je schopný kedykoľvek vyradiť knokaut.
Zúrivosť:
Sebavedomý, sebaistý, a niekedy domýšľavý bojovník, Fury má pre tak veľkého bojovníka svižné pohyby a rýchlosť. Kombinuje dobrú prácu nôh s pohybom hornej časti tela a schopnosťou boxovať buď ortodoxne alebo ľavou labkou, udržiavanie súperov v nerovnováhe a zakladanie vlastného útočného útoku.
ICH PRVÝ VÝBOR
Wilder-Fury I: Fury otvoril zápas efektívnym pohybom, udržiavanie Wildera v nerovnováhe a neschopnosť pristáť nič významné. Wilder bol schopný pristáť niekoľko tvrdých úderov v 4th kolo, stekajúca krv z Furyho nosa. Fury strávil čas v prostredných kolách ako ľavá labka a našiel úspech. Wilder zaznamenal príklep v 9th kolo, ale následný útok ho unavil, umožnil Furymu získať späť hybnosť prostredníctvom 11th okrúhly. Pamätná 12th guľová píla Wilder prerazila a dopadla na kombináciu pravého a ľavého háku. Fury tvrdo spadol na plátno, plocho na chrbte. Úžasne vstal pri počte 9 a záverečné kolo skončilo outlanderom Wildera. Alejandro Rochin skóroval 115-111 Wilder, Robert Tapper skóroval 114-112 Zúrivosť, a Phil Edwards skóroval 113-113.
SILNÉ STRÁNKY
Wilder:
* Sila - detonácia na konci Wilderových pästí, predovšetkým je pravá ruka, je jadrových rozmerov. Zatiaľ čo jeho ľavá ruka nesie v sebe výrazný pop, je to Wilderova pravá ruka, ktorá sa považuje za možno najničivejší úder v boxe súčasnosti. Súboje môže ukončiť tak, že pravú ruku dopadne priamo do stredu, oblúkom cez vrchol, alebo rozdelenie krytu ako hák.
* Kondicionovanie - na začiatku svojej kariéry, keď v priebehu niekoľkých kôl ukončil všetky svoje boje, boli otázniky, či Wilder v ďalších kolách vybledne. Dokázal, že v posledných kolách dokáže rovnako tvrdo bojovať a je schopný knokautu až do záverečného zvonenia.
* Atletizmus - Wilder kombinuje vzácnu zmes veľkosti, rýchlosť, energie, a atletické schopnosti, pri ktorých je ľahké si predstaviť, že je dominantný v akomkoľvek type atletického prostredia.
Zúrivosť:
* Pohyb - Pre muža s veľkosťou a stavbou tela, ktorá pripomína strieborného chrbta, Fury sa pohybuje s ladnosťou a svižnosťou baletky. Je ľahký na nohy a má pohyblivý pohyb v hornej časti tela, ktorý je pre niekoho tak veľkého nezvyčajný.
* Dôvera - Fury si je nanajvýš istý v seba a verí vo svoje schopnosti. V ringu prejavuje malý alebo žiadny strach. Jeho sebavedomá charizmatická povaha mu dáva psychologickú výhodu.
* Odolný - či už to bolo zliezanie z plátna proti Wilderovi, prekonanie hrozného zásahu proti Wallinovi, alebo bojovať proti depresii a zneužívaniu návykových látok, Fury preukázal tvrdosť a odolnosť, ktoré treba obdivovať.
NEDOSTATKY
Wilder:
* Sloppy - Wilder prejavuje toľko viery v jeho silu, že je často divoký a nedbalý svojimi údermi a chodidlami. V ringu vyzerá často veľmi amatérsky.
* Problémy s boxermi - Bojovníci, ktorí používajú dobrý pohyb a boxerské schopnosti, potrápia Wildera. Bojuje s nastavením svojich nôh a často je o krok pozadu. V oboch súbojoch sledoval Luisa Ortiza a bol prekonaný po väčšinu svojho prvého zápasu s Furym.
* Brada - Niekoľkokrát bol Wilder vážne skontrolovaný bradou, ukázal nejaké nedostatky na svojej trvanlivosti. Ortiz ho ťažko zranil a bol blízko vyraďovacej straty.
Zúrivosť:
* Rozptýlenie - Fury miluje svoju novú slávu a hovorí o WWE a MMA. Rozišiel sa so svojím trénerom Benom Davidsonom a dorovnáva vlastné strely. Fury má tiež kúzla v ringu, kde stráca sústredenie a počas výpadku koncentrácie sa viackrát ocitol na plátne..
* Osobný život - sú dobre zdokumentované minulé osobné démony Fury s depresiou a zneužívaním návykových látok, spolu s priberaním na váhe 400 lbs. Zatiaľ čo jeho triumfy nad týmito démonmi sú obdivuhodné, trvalé fyzické účinky nemožno poprieť.
* Koža - Je to len päť mesiacov, čo Fury utrpel strašnú ranu cez pravé oko proti Otto Wallinovi, vyžadujúce 47 stehy. Zatiaľ čo lekári považovali rez za dostatočne uzdravený, jeho jemná pokožka sa mohla znovu otvoriť v najnevhodnejšom čase.
PREDCHÁDZAJÚCE BOUT
Wilder: (11/23/19) - Wilder si opäť pripísal protiútok proti Luisovi Oritzovi. Potom, čo bol odoslaný do väčšiny prvých šiestich kôl, Wilder nasadil proti unavujúcemu Ortizovi a dopadol na rozdrvenú pravú ruku, ktorá vyústila do jedného úderu.
Zúrivosť:
(9/14/19) - Fury prežil krvavé súboje s neporazeným, ale neznámym Ottom Wallinom. Fury utrpel podrezanie na pravom oku v 3rd okrúhle a krv jasne ovplyvňovala jeho videnie. Napriek postihnutiu, Fury akciu stále kontroloval a na ceste k rozhodujúcemu víťazstvu niekoľkokrát zranil Wallina.
3 Najlepších výkonov
Wilder:
* Arthur Pin (1/16/16) - Po skorom zaostávaní, Wilder prevzal vedenie v 4th kolo a začal sa usadzovať a kontrolovať akciu. Jedna pravá ruka v 9th kolo poslal Szpilku dole a v bezvedomí, the 2016 Knockout roka.
* Zlatý pohár (1/17/15) - Wilder odpovedal na otázky o svojej výdrži naplno 12 prvýkrát v kariére a získal v tomto procese titul WBC. Wilder využil svoj dlhý úder a udržal Stiverna na uzde so svojou podceňovanou sadou schopností.
* Luis Ortiz (3/3/18) - Wilder prežil niektoré strašidelné chvíle proti kubánskemu veteránovi, ktorému sa často vyhýbali, a zvíťazil o 10th okrúhly knokaut. Wildera trápili Ortizove boxerské schopnosti skôr, ako ho zrazil do lopty 5th okrúhly. Zhromaždenie Ortiz v 7th sa Wilder vážne zranil, ale Wilder sa o pár kôl dokázal preskupiť a vyradiť vyradenie.
Zúrivosť:
* Wladimir Klitschko (11/25/15) - Fury odišiel do Kličkovho dvora a jednomyseľným rozhodnutím vybojoval zjednotené a priame majstrovstvá v ťažkej váhe. Zatiaľ čo o zápas išlo o opatrnú záležitosť, Fury dokázal prekonať Kličko vynikajúcou prácou nôh, pohyb, a vyšší výkon úderu.
* Derek Chisora (11/29/14) - Fury dominoval v odvete so svojím britským rivalom, box z diaľky, prepínanie medzi pravoslávnymi a južnými labkami, a potrestal svojho protivníka, až kým roh neprerušil boj 10 jednostranné kolá.
* Deontay Wilder (12/1/18) - S výnimkou dvoch knockdownov a niekoľkých kurióznych hodnotení, Väčšinu zápasu mal Fury pod kontrolou. Vyhol sa Wilderovým úderom a dopadol na efektívne počítadlá, To, že Wilder vyzeral v tomto procese zmätený a nevyvážený.
KEYS k víťazstvu
Wilder:
* Využite jeho úder a vylúčte Furyho nepríjemný štýl
* Udržujte jeho silové údery krátke a kompaktné
* Nenechajte sa hypnotizovať Furyho pohybom hornej časti tela
Zúrivosť:
* Zmeňte tempo a nechajte Wildera hádať
* Bočným pohybom zabráňte Wilderovi v nastavení nôh
* Nenechajte sa nafúknuť proti lanám
OTÁZKY
Wilder:
* Dokáže Wilder zvládnuť Furyho neortodoxný pohyb?
* Will Wilder zamestná lepší herný plán?
* Bude Wilder frustrovaný?
Zúrivosť:
* Bude sa Fury príliš snažiť o knokaut??
* Je Fury úplne zameraný na box??
* Je jeho porezané oko náchylné na reinjury?
PENECALE PREDPOVEĎ
Obaja bojovníci sú výnimoční herci a ich príslušné vchody do ringu budú dav ohurovať. Elektrina bude pri horúčke pri úvodnom zvonení. S ich familiárnosťou, proces precítenia bude menší ako pri ich prvom stretnutí. Fury bude v strehu pri postupe vpred a Wilder sa pokúsi načasovať jeho postup a dopadnúť protiútoky. Na konci 1st kolo, Fury sa bude posmievať Wilderovi a dôjde k výmene slov.
Furyho neustály pohyb a jednotlivé údery budú Wildera trápiť, pretože jeho protiútoky nájdu väčšinou prázdny vzduch. Nasledujúce kolá budú vzrušujúcou hrou na mačku a myš s menším Wilderom v úlohe mačky, márnosť sa snaží dostať do kúta väčší Wilder.
Wilder nájde úspech so svojím úderom v 6th a 7th náboje a zalomená pravá ruka zachytí Furyho na vrchu hlavy, vyvrátil ho z rovnováhy na plátno. Zúrivosť stúpne, žmurknite v jeho rohu, a vrátiť sa späť do činnosti. Vzrušenie spôsobí, že sa Wilder divoko hojdá a sám padá na plátno, keď mu chýba prehnaná pravá ruka.
S Wilderom, ktorý bol zo svojho úderu zdanlivo unavený z predchádzajúceho kola, Fury sa otočí na juh a pristane niekoľko tvrdých pravých rúk, potom sa odrazte mimo dosah všetkých úderov pultom.
Furyho pohyb a vyššia pracovná rýchlosť prenesú akciu do majstrovských kôl, čo ho opäť viedlo k zjavnému náskoku smerujúcemu do finálového kola.
Rozhodnutie bude tentokrát jednomyseľné, keď obaja Dave Moretti a Glenn Feldman skórovali 115-112 a Steve Weisfeld o odtieň bližšie pri 114-113, všetko v prospech „The Gypsy King“ Tysona Furyho.

From East LA to Team USA Flyweight boxer Anthony Herrera is living the dream
COLORADO SPRINGS, Klin. (Február 20, 2020) – From the mean streets of East Los Angeles to a berth on Team USA is a remarkable achievement for 19-year-old flyweightAnthony Herrera, who recently was selected to be a member of the 2020 Olympic Games Tokyo Boxing Qualification Team.
“Since I was very young,” Herrera spoke about growing up in East LA, “my parents always kept me in sports. Being so occupied with sports was actually a distraction from what was going on around the city. So, I never had time to get into trouble and my parents kept me away from a bad lifestyle. Once I started boxing, I took it seriously, staying focused and setting goals. I was a little older at that time and whether or not I wanted to partake in boxing or wanted to make a career out of it was all up to me, and I always had my parents full support. Boxing has been a big part of my life. I’m always looking forward to the next workout or anything boxing related. It’s part of my image at this point.”
Pre túto chvíľu, hoci, Herrera is preparing with his teammates at the United States Olympics and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for the America’s Qualification Tournament, March 26-April 3, in Buenos Aires, Argentína.
Herrera will qualify to represent his country at the Olympics by finishing among the top five in Buenos Aires, or first six placers at the World Qualifier, Máj 13-14, v Paríži, France.
“I thrive under pressure,” Herrera said. “I don’t let pressure get to me mentally so much that it negatively impacts my performance. It makes me perform better when I’m in the ring. I’ve been under pressure my whole boxing career. Not only has it made me a better fighter in certain situations that are intimidating, but also a stronger person overall. Going to Argentina is no different, the nerves are still there, but so is my determination to get to Tokyo.”
A 2018 National PAL and 2019 Western Elite Qualifier champion, Herrera recently finished second at the 2020 U.S.. Olympic Team Trials and third at the 2020 Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria.
“The amateur boxing accomplishment I’m most proud of is making the United States Qualification Team as a flyweight,” he noted. “It was tough to make it here and knowing that I overcame the obstacles I faced on this long journey to where I’m at now makes me very happy. I can truly say I earned it.
“My first International boxing match (Strandja) was a little different from what I’m used to. The equipment we used and fighting without headgear created more risk when fighting, but I had fun in my first international fight. I already have the feel for that environment and am more comfortable now.
“I really enjoy training in Colorado Springs with my teammates, because it’s a great experience that only the best athletes get. I love training at home as well, but there are less distractions in Colorado Springs. I get to focus 100-percent on my craft and get to travel more.”
Herrera, who describes his style as a “swarmer”, applying pressure and breaking down his opponent, is living the dream.
“Fighting in the Olympics was always big for me, but getting a gold medal is my dream,” he added. “I’ve always wanted it because no one can ever take that away from me, and the story and work that is put behind a gold medal is priceless. In my opinion it is harder than winning a world title in professional boxing. Being this close to the Olympics, I’m proud of myself but not satisfied. I know that I still have work to do and I’m taking one step at a time. The next step for me is to qualify for the Olympics at the Olympic Qualifier.”
Herrera attributes some of his success to learning from former and contemporary boxers, implementing any techniques that they use into his style, počítajúc v to, for example, the footwork and head movement ofJulio Cesar Chavez Sr., aMike Tyson’s set-ups from the body to head.
Tokyo is a long way from East LA for Anthony Herrera.

Kendo “Tremendo” Castaneda Training Camp Notes
Február. 28th in Florida showdown vs. neporazený
NABO champion Yomar “The Magic” Alamo
LAS VEGAS (Február 20, 2020) – Undefeated super lightweightKendo “Tremendo” Castaneda (17-0, 8 KO) has been in training camp since the beginning of this year in Boxers & Brawlers gym in his San Antonio hometown to prepare for his February 28th fight against North American Boxing Organization (BEZPROSTREDNÉ OKOLIE) majsterYomar “The Magic” Alamo (17-0-1, 12 KO) airing live on Boxeo Telemundo, počnúc 11:30 p.m. A / 8:30 p.m. PT, from Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.
Alamo vs. Castaneda is co-promoted by All-Star Boxing, which promotes Alamo and the event, and Castaneda’s promoter, Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions.
“This is the biggest fight of Kendo’s career to date,” CEO & Co-FounderKeith Veltre said. “He is the type fighter who doesn’t back down from anyone and knows what it takes to get the win. Kendo trains hard and we are fully confident that he will come home with the win.”
The 26-year-old Castaneda, ktorý je zaradený Žiadny. 15 Svetová Boxing Organization (WBO), will take on WBO No. 8-rated Alamo, the defending NABO super lightweight champion, in the 10-round main event.
Castaneda captured the vacant North American Boxing Association (Tiež) crown a year ago, taking a 10-round decision from previously undefeatedGilbert Venegas, Jr.(10-0), and followed that with an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over Dominican veteranEudy Berbardo (24-3).
Last October in Reno, Nevada, Castaneda stoppedStan Martyniouk (20-3) in the sixth round, after which he was installed by the World Boxing Organization as its No. 15 rated super lightweight in the world.
WBO No. 8 ranked Alamo, fighting out of Puerto Rico, is coming off the lone blemish on either fighter’s pro record, a draw withAntonio Moran (24-4-1).
Alamo, 24, is the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World and FECARBOX super lightweight champion, who has made three successful NABO title defenses.
Training Camp Notes
(quotes from Kendo Castaneda)
Training Camp: “Everything here has been good. I’m ready to rock and get back in the ring. I’ll have no trouble making weight for this fight. My sparring partners are local guys, some pros, and other amateurs. I like helping up-and-coming fighters who want to turn pro. They have natural speed at 18, 19 rokov, but their strength hasn’t fully developed, yet. They learn and I get good work. My No. 1 sparring partner, Limon, has had more than 100 amateur fights. His style is similar to Alamo’s. He’s tall and lengthy, but not as powerful as Alamo. He throws great jabs and boxes well, which will help me when I fight Alamo.
Yomar Alamo: “He fights off his back foot a lot. He likes to box and is a good counter-puncher.
He’s undefeated but who knows how he wants to fight? I like razzle-dazzle and I’ll quickly learn what I’m in for.”
Fighting in Alamo’s backyard: “I’m not concerned about that at all. My first fight with RJJ Boxing was in Las Vegas against a local fighter, Chuy Gutierrez, and I won that fight. I don’t mind fighting in my opponent’s backyard and I’m getting used to it. My last fight was in Reno against a California fighter, who lived a lot closer to Reno than I do in San Antonio. And I fought a local fighter in New Hampshire, when I had a bare-knuckle fight.”
How do you envision this fight going: “Alamo will go into the fight thinking it’s going to be a boxing match, almost like an exhibition starting the fight. But I’m going to go in strong, like a street fight, banging him around. I’ll catch him with some surprises, throwing hard blows. In the third or fourth round, I’ll start boxing more. Then it’s going to be too much for him, and I’ll take him out in the eighth or ninth round.”
Bout importance: “I think I’ll possibly get a world championship eliminator fight with an impressive victory. I’m a rare, old-fashioned boxer.”
Predpoveď: “The referee will be announcing, ‘And the new NABO champion…..’”
