Traynor Victorious over Mulberry in FOTY Contender Battle Royale to Secure British Title

Deja un comentario

The highly anticipated PBC British Super Featherweight Championship clash between Denny’s Kevin Traynor (5-0-0 3KO) and Basildon’s Lewis Mulberry (4-1-0 1KO), finally took place on Saturday night, on the Lee McAllister promoted LET BATTLE COMMENCE VI event that took place at Rivals in Wishaw, Escocia.

The heavily hyped title clash exceeded all expectations, it was an exceptional closely fought twelve round Battle Royale and rightly is being touted as a leading contender for FIGHT OF THE YEAR accolades.

No surprise really as both warriors went at it hammer and tongs for the full twelve rounds, much to the delight of the fans in attendance as well as those around the world that watched the sensational contest live on FITE+

Speaking from his home, following some well earned rest and relaxation with his family, Traynor said;

“What a night!

“The fight had been built up for the past year or so and I think it definitely lived up to expectations, and much more.

“Lewis was a great opponent very, very explosive but I kept my cool stuck to my game plan and everything went exactly the way I felt that it would, only thing I didn’t expect was for it to go the distance, I thought I would have got him out of there but the lad proved how tough he was.

“I knew how dangerous he would be early and the first three or four rounds would be the toughest, but I remained composed and continued to box smart before stepping it up later in the fight.

“It was a fantastic fight to be involved in and was an excellent experience fighting in my first twelve round fight.

“I enjoyed every second on it and would like to thank Lewis for being a fantastic dance partner, he is only a young lad and can definitely come again and do some great things in the sport.

“As for myself I’m not 100% sure what is next for me, I had a great camp for the fight but with my baby son being born it was hard to train the 2 o 3 times a day, work and be a dad so I will spend some time with my family consider what options I have then take it from there.

“Thanks to Lee McAllister, Assassin Promotions, BIBA and the PBC for the opportunity to fight for my first Championship, it has been a great journey so far and much, much more to come.”

In addition to the sensational Traynor versus Mulberry potential FOTY title clash, fans in attendance, as well as those watching on FITE+ were treated to a night of sensational closely matched contests, the standouts being;

The opening contest of the night see Aberdeen’s Samer Carol (1-1-0) and Newcastle’s Jak Johnson (1-4-0) in action against each other.

Originally Carol was due to face India’s Jaideep Singh (0-1-0) and Johnson was matched against India’s Sukhdeep Singh (1-0-0), however both Indian lads visas were not through in time, so some quick rejigging of the card led to the pair squaring off against each other in a fantastic all action, closely fought four rounder that had the potential of being Fight of the Night, had it not been for the exceptional Traynor-Mulberry title clash. After four all action rounds Referee James Ancliff’s scorecard read 39-39, it was that close!

Unbeaten Liam Allan (3-0-0 3KO) had his hands full when he faced late replacement in Kent’s Adam Harris (Debut), in a four round Heavyweight contest.

Lo que una pelea grietas, it was hard to believe it was at Heavyweight as the action was more akin to a Super Middle contest, and what’s more Harris became the first fighter to go the distance, in the pro ranks, with the big punching Aberdeen youngster. Referee James Ancliff scored the contest 40-36 in favour of Liam Allan.

Paisley’s Craig Kelly (11-15-1 2KO) was expecting a really testing full on nights work, when he faced Accra Ghana’s big punching Theophilus Ofei Dodoo (9-2-0 9KO), however fate stepped in to cut the fight short, as Dodoo suffered a serious hand injury during the first stanza that forced him to retire at the end of the round. However believe me the first round is definitely worth watching on FITE+ as it was one seriously great all action affair.

Another fight that only went one round was the heavyweight clash between Barrow’s Lee Kellett and Belfast’s Darren Burns. This was another all action affair, that was until just seconds in to the second minute of the contest when Kellet let rip with a massive hook to send Burns crashing to deck.

Originally the event was due to be headlined by two time WBO Featherweight World Champion Scott Harrison versus Razak Nettey PBC Commonwealth title clash, however that contest was forced to be cancelled just thirty minutes or so before it was due to take place.

Full replays of the LET BATTLE COMMENCE VI event are available to subscribers on FITE+

El prospecto súper mediano turco Cem “Champ” Kilic vive el Sueño Americano Encabezando este jueves en Montebello, TAL COMO, Transmitiendo en vivo en UFC FIGHT PASS

Deja un comentario
Kilic celebrando.jpg
LAS VEGAS (Marzo 9, 2022) – Que largo, extraño viaje ha sido para el prospecto de peso súper mediano turco Cem "Champ" Kilic, parte de un crecimiento 3 Gestión de puntos (3 Primer ministro) estable, reasentándose en California desde Alemania a pesar de la pandemia, para encabezar este jueves por la noche "Hollywood Fight Nights, presentado por 360 Promociones, en Quiet Cannon Country Club en Montebello, California.

Kilic, de 27 años, se enfrenta a Andrew “Huracán” Hernández (21-8-2, 9 KOs) encabezó un show de Vertex en septiembre pasado en su primera acción en más de, que se transmitirá en vivo y exclusivamente en UFC FIGHT PASS®.


Un miembro del equipo nacional de boxeo de Turquía, Kilic se mudó hace ocho años de Alemania a Sherman Oaks, California, donde aún reside. Un nativo de Alemania cuya familia viene de Turquía, Kilic mostró un tremendo coraje simplemente reubicándose al otro lado del mundo con solo $200 en sus bolsillos, así como la incapacidad de hablar inglés más que unas pocas palabras.


“Todavía paso mucho tiempo en casa,remarcó Kilic. “Durante la pandemia, Viví con mi familia en Alemania., y tengo mucha familia en Turquía. Fue muy duro crecer. Siempre había soñado con vivir en los Estados Unidos de ver películas.. Yo quería hacer algo diferente. Soy un gran fan de las películas de Hollywood.. Muhammad Ali es mi ídolo y esa es otra razón por la que quería venir aquí a boxear..


“No hablaba inglés cuando vine por primera vez a América, solo lo basico, y nadie que conocí aquí hablaba alemán o turco. pero yo aprendi ingles viendo peliculas antiguas y usando el traductor de google. aprendi rapido, aunque, y se sentía cómodo hablando inglés en seis meses. Y ahora vivo a solo 10 minutos de Hollywood”.


Kilic tocó fondo tras sufrir su primera derrota en enero 11, 2020, a 15-0 Steve Nelson en Atlantic City, en el que su esquina tiró la toalla a mediados del octavo asalto debido a varios cortes faciales. La pelea fue por la vacante Organización Norteamericana de Boxeo (LOS VECINOS) título. Cem se tomó un tiempo libre en los EE. UU.. durante la pandemia.


“Todo estaba cerrado," él explicó. “Engordé y me deprimí aún más. Me dejo llevar despues de mi primera perdida. Mi esposa dijo que necesitaba volver a estar en forma, así que vi un video de entrenamiento en YouTube y, en primer lugar, No pude pasar el calentamiento.. Pero poco a poco me puse en forma y eso alimentó mi interés nuevamente en el boxeo.. No tenía promotor y me separé de mi manager y entrenador. Fui entrenado por un amigo y fui a la casa de Abel Sánchez en Big Bear y conseguí un buen trabajo.. Luché contra muchos campeones: Jermell Charlo, (Gilberto) ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez, Callum Smith, y David Benavídez.”


acción kilic.jpg
(L) Cem Kilic es un luchador de luchadores


Un luchador agresivo que se describe a sí mismo con una mentalidad guerrera., Kilic dice que el difunto Arturo Gatti era uno de sus luchadores favoritos, a quien emula en términos de estilo. Cem ha visto el Gatti-(Micky) Trilogía de Ward sobre 20 veces, lo que lo llevó al boxeo como carrera..

“Yo sabía de Gatti, pero realmente me metí en el boxeo después de ver sus peleas con Micky Ward,Kilic recordaba con cariño. “Eran tan duros, y me encanta la forma en que lucharon. Eran luchadores de los años 40 y 50”.


El actual Team Kilic se formó tras su única derrota. Es entrenado por 4 veces, 2-división campeón mundial Brian Viloria, además de ser manejado (3Primer ministro), que también gestiona 43-0 “Zurdo” Ramirez, el ex campeón mundial de peso súper mediano, actualmente el contendiente mundial de peso semipesado mejor clasificado.


“Conocí a Brian y lo conocí en Brickhouse,—explicó Kilic—.. “Un día le dije a mi entrenador de fuerza y ​​acondicionamiento que necesitaba un nuevo entrenador y le pedí que hablara con Brian sobre mí.. Brian me caía bien y sabía que era un campeón mundial con mucho conocimiento.. Solo hemos trabajado juntos para una pelea., pero he mejorado en muchos aspectos.


“Estaba esperando una oportunidad para firmar con un mánager y lo hice con 3PM. Los chicos son geniales y estoy mucho más motivado que antes.. Ha sido increíble”.


Kilic está preparado para mostrar su desarrollo bajo Viloria y 3PM este jueves por la noche contra Hernández. “No puedo esperar,Kilic concluyó. “Ha peleado algunos buenos nombres (Caleb Planta, Jesse Hart, Ali Akmedov, Ahmed Elbiali, Patrick Teixeira, y Arif Magomedov). Siempre me preparo para recorrer la distancia completa. Nunca entro en una pelea buscando un nocaut., pero busco aperturas.”


Cem "Champ" Kilic realmente está viviendo el Sueño Americano, sobre todo por el apoyo que tiene de los nuevos integrantes de su equipo.

“I was reborn tonight,” Holmes said. “This performance showed that I still have it in me. I hurt my left hand in the second round. I couldn’t punch how I wanted to. I was in a bunch of pain but I pulled through. Thinking about my family pushed me through the pain.”

The 27-year-old southpaw Holmes had a 194-129 edge in total punches while landing more than 40 por ciento de sus golpes de poder. Un total de 280 of the combined 323 total punches landed were power punches.

"Él fue el mejor hombre esta noche,” Brown said. “I give it up to him. He studied me. He knew the punches I was going to throw. His corner kept yelling, ‘Watch the right hook.’ He did knock the wind out of me a couple times with body shots. I had to take a second to recover. En la última ronda, he was catching me with head shots.

“I need to work on my left hand. I need to be like Manny Pacquiao and work on my left hand because guys know I have power in my right hook. But I’m going down to 147. That’s my true weight.”

Holmes said no matter how much Brown hurt him, he was going to push through the pain. “I was rusty. I believe I need another fight to get the rust off. My timing wasn’t there. I’ve been off for like 800 día, but this fight showed that I have a lot of heart. I want Paul Kroll next. He was talking a lot of junk against me. We have a history in the amateurs. He’s who I want.”

En el evento co-principal, heavy-hitting lightweightEdwin De Los Santos (14-1, 13 KOs) scored a devastating second-round knockout againstLuis Acosta (12-1, 11 KOs), who suffered the first loss of his career.Acosta became the 211º fighter to have his undefeated streak snapped in the 21-year history of the prospect series.

“One-hitter quitter for De Los Santos!"SHOBOX analistaBrian Campbellsaid of De Los Santos’ clean left cross that sent Acosta to the canvas as referee Mark Nelson signaled the end of the fight at 48 seconds in the second round.

“It was a left hand that was just a thing of beauty,”Dijo Internacional de Boxeo Salón de la Fama ySHOBOXblow-by-blow announcerBarry Tompkins.

Dominican Republic’s De Los Santos landed 19 punches before scoring the fight-ending knockout in his secondSHOBOX appearance.

"Ya estoy de vuelta,” said De Los Santos, who suffered a loss in his first SHOBOX appearance in January to William Foster III. “Everyone was counting me out after the last fight. They thought I was done after the loss to Foster. But I’m back. This is the kind of statement that I should have made last time. Este es un nuevo comienzo para mí. I thought I was going to catch him later in the fight but the opening came early with the straight left. My preparation was just better this time, I was just more focused and better prepared and this was the result. I’m ready for anyone.”

En la apertura de la transmisión por televisión, highly regarded prospectGiovanni Márquez (1-0) became the seventh fighter in the history ofSHOBOXto make his professional debut on the series, extending the streak to 7-0 in those bouts as Marquez scored a four-round unanimous decision over a gameNelson Morales. Las puntuaciones fueron 40-36, y 39-37 twice in the welterweight bout.

“I felt great,"Dijo Márquez. “I hurt my left hand in the second round on a jab. I think I would have been able to stop him if I hadn’t hurt my hand.”

With his father and trainer, el ex campeón del mundoRaúl Márquez, barking instructions from his corner, Houston’s Márquez – the 2021 national Golden Gloves 152-pound champion – dominated the welterweight affair, displaying his offensive skills and using his jab and uppercut effectively as the quicker and busier fighter. Marquez landed 30 por ciento de su total de ponches (85 para 280) compared to Morales at 21 por ciento (42 a 201).

“All the attention, it’s really not normal for a 21-year-old,” said the elder Marquez, as he joined Tompkins and Campbell in the booth before the main event. “He handled all the pressure. I’m really proud of my son. I’m very satisfied.”

Added Giovanni: “It was a great experience. He was a tough, chico duradero, but I feel like I handled everything, the cameras, all the attention pretty well. I started a little slow but after the first round I settled down and fought my fight. I felt fine without the headgear. We kept bumping heads, but he never hurt me. There was a lot of pressure on me, and I was a little nervous in the leadup to the fight, but once I got into the fight I relaxed and I felt comfortable. Total, it was a great experience.”

Following a competitive first round, the 21-year-old Marquez dominated the second round, his confidence surging with every second that passed against the Dominican-born Morlaes.

“I think I did OK,” said the 30-year-old Dominican Republic-born Morales (2-1) now living in Scranton, Papá. “My strategy was to go in and box. He cut the ring off and applied good pressure. I can’t say too much because it wasn’t the best of me. He was OK. Vuelvo enseguida."

The six other fighters’ victorious in theirSHOBOX pro debut include Dominic Breazeale, Marcus Browne, Terrell Gausha, Errol Spence Jr., Rau’Shee Warren and Gary Russell, Jr.

The son of former unified champion Kostya, tim tszyu (20-0, 15 KOs) has quickly made a name for himself as one of the most promising contenders at 154-pounds. Tszyu headlines on SHOWTIME following in his father’s footsteps after Kostya competed 10 times on the network, including memorable knockouts of Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. and Zab Judah. Fighting out of his native Sydney, Australia, Tszyu will make his U.S. debut on March 26 after earning his first 20 pro wins in his home country. The 27-year-old went the 12-round distance for the first time in his last fight, dominating Takeshi Inoue on his way to a unanimous decision in November 2021. The decision victory came after Tszyu had put together stoppage wins in eight of his previous ten outings.

“I’m very excited to be fighting in the U.S., especialmente por SHOWTIME, where my dad was featured for most of his career,” said Tszyu. “I’m proud and excited to continue on the Tszyu name with SHOWTIME. Once I take care of Gausha, I will be coming for the title.”

Un miembro de la 2012 U.S. equipo olímpico, Gausha (22-2-1, 11 KOs) nació en Cleveland, Ohio pero ahora pelea desde Encino, Calif., where he is trained by Manny Robles and Prenice Brewer. The 34-year-old has faced tough competition throughout his career, having fought former champion Austin Trout to a draw in 2019 in addition to decision losses against former champion Erislandy Lara and top contender Erickson Lubin. Gausha showed improved power in his most recent bout, stopping rising contender Jamontay Clark in two rounds in March 2021.

“I’ve been ready for this fight for a long time,”Dijo Gausha. “I came into this game to be a world champion and fight the best. I expect Tim to come in great shape and I’ll also come in my best shape to put on a great fight for the fans. My coaches are getting me prepared perfectly for the kind of fight I need to put on so that I can leave the ring victorious.”

Nacido en Santo Domingo, República Dominicana y ahora peleando desde Miami, Fla. Rivera (22-0, 14 KOs) irrumpió en la escena en 2019, haciendo su U.S. debut with a victory over Rene Tellez Giron on SHOBOX: LA NUEVA GENERACIÓN®. El joven de 23 años continuó su ascenso en 2020, sumando una victoria por detención contra Fidel Maldonado Jr. y un triunfo por decisión unánime contra el contendiente de peso ligero LaDarius Miller. Rivera carried his dominance into 2021 with three more victories, including a stoppage of Anthony Mercado in February before delivering a highlight-reel knockout of Jon Fernandez in July on SHOWTIME. He most recently scored a shutout unanimous decision over Matias Romero in October.

“This is a great opportunity for me to display my talents once again against a high-quality opponent in Joseph Adorno,", Dijo Rivera. “I’m ready to take on anyone willing to challenge me until my time comes to fight for the world title. My goal is to be victorious on March 26 and then face Gervonta Davis for his title. With each fight I’m getting closer to reaching that goal. I can’t wait to show off all the hard work that I’ve put into this camp on fight night.”

Adorno (14-0-2, 12 KOs) has fought to a draw in each of his last two fights, dropping fellow unbeaten Jamaine Ortiz twice in April 2021 after dueling Héctor “Guadaña” García in January 2020. The 22-year-old was born in Union City, New Jersey and now resides in Allentown, Pa., having fought in nearby Philadelphia five times throughout his career. Adorno turned pro in 2016 a la edad de 17 after a standout amateur career where he amassed a 178-22 record and beat Shakur Stevenson’s twice. He has scored knockout victories in nine of his first 10 peleas como profesional.

“This fight is a chance for me to show my true talents,” said Adorno. “Not taking anything away from Rivera, but I know I’m going to be the better fighter on March 26. I’m working with a new trainer, Raúl ‘Chino’ Rivas, who has trained many talented fighters, and I’m ready to showcase myself at my very best. I’m more focused than ever and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by. Everybody better be ready for a show on March 26.”

Rodríguez (12-1-1, 11 KOs) bounced back from his first career defeat, a majority decision loss to Kenneth Sims Jr., to knockout the previously unbeaten Juan Pablo Romero on the Canelo vs. Planta SHOWTIME PPV® undercard in November. The 26-year-old burst onto the scene with knockout victories in 10 de su primera 11 fights and put together an impressive five wins in 2020. Originally from Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, Rodríguez now lives in Los Angeles

“March 26 is another step toward my world championship goal,”Dijo Rodríguez. “I am fighting a tough veteran fighter who has faced top-level competition. I’ve stayed in camp through Christmas so that I can be 100% ready for this fight. Winning on March 26 means a lot for my career and I hope that a win will put me in contention for a title shot this year. I want to show the world that I’m ready for the big names in the division.”

The 34-year-old Velasco (23-2, 14 KOs) enters this fight on a three-bout winning streak, having most recently earned a split decision victory over Zachary Ochoa in February 2021. A native of Jujuy, Argentina, Velasco has tangled with some of the toughest fighters in the 140-pound division, including former champions Mario Barrios and Regis Prograis. Velasco will fight in the U.S. for the fifth time on March 26.

“I’m very honored to be on a great card like this,” said Velasco. “This is actually the second time that I’ve been preparing to face Rodríguez, so I know what I’m up against. He’s going to come into the right at 100%, al igual que lo haré. May the best man win on March 26.”
