REVAMPED AND RENEWED MASON MENARD RETURNS TO FACE HOT PROSPECT DEVIN HANEY IN MAIN EVENT ON SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION Jumat, MAY 11, IN PHILADELPHIA

Mason “Rock Hard Mighty” Menard is focused and determined like no other time during his career.

 

 

 

The lightweight contender moved six hours from his home and two children in Louisiana to train with a new team in Dallas alongside the likes of WBC World Super Welterweight Champion Jermell Charlo and IBF Welterweight Champion Errol Spence Jr.

 

 

 

Menard (33-2, 24 Biaya) will face undefeated Devin “The Dream” Haney (18-0, 12 Biaya) of Las Vegas for the USBA Lightweight Championship on Friday, Mei 11, in the 10-round main event of the popular prospect series ShoBox: Generasi Baru quadrupleheader (10 p.m. ET / PT) on SHOWTIME from 2300 Arena di Philadelphia.

 

 

 

Dalam 10 putaran co-fitur, super bantamweight prospects Josh “Don’t Blink” Greer (16-1-1, 8 Biaya) and Glenn Dezurn (9-1-1, 6 Biaya) akan bertemu. In an eight-round featured attraction, light heavyweight Alvin Varmall Jr. (15-0-1, 12 Biaya) takes on Charles Foster (15-0, 8 Biaya); and in the opening televised fight, super bantamweight Arnold Khegai (11-0-1, 8 Biaya) will face Adam Lopez (16-2-2, 8 Biaya) dalam delapan putaran pertarungan.

 

Tiket untuk acara, which is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions, Hard Hitting Promotions & Devin Haney Promotions, adalah harga di $125 untuk VIP, $70 untuk ringside dan $50 for general admission and are available at the 2300 Arena Box office or online at www.HardHittingPromotions.com.

 

 

 

“Everything has changed,” said Menard. “The way I eat in my off-time, kelompok ku, my management, pelatih saya, the way I train. Everything.”

 

 

 

The 29-year-old Menard says his home state of Louisiana simply couldn’t offer the level of training he is now getting, working with new trainers Nathan Pipitone, Maurice James and Aaron Navarro, while sparring with world champions.

 

 

 

“I’m in Dallas to better my career,” Menard continued. “Louisiana just doesn’t have what I need to take it to the next level and compete. I’m working hard here and it’s what I need. I’m pushing the tempo and sharpening my skills.”

 

 

 

Fighting live on ShoBox di 2016, Menard scored a brutal Knockout of the Year candidate over previously undefeated Eudy Bernardo and got another ShoBox win later that year with an impressive KO over Bahodir Mamadjonov. He then suffered his only loss since 2008, in a short-notice showdown with WBO Lightweight Champion Raymundo Beltran.

 

 

 

He returned from the setback in March 2017 with a decision win, but suffered a serious injury.

 

 

 

“I had a detached front rotator cuff tendon and partial torn biceps tendon. It gave out on me in my last fight in the first round. I’ve had surgery on it, and rehabbed it, and now I’m ready to return to the world stage. I’m in with a good, slick boxer, but my trainers have a game plan and we have been working on a few things that he does, just to be prepared for what’s to come against him. Aku akan siap. "

 

 

 

Menard says the hardest part of preparing to face one of boxing’s most talked-about prospects on national television is the loneliness of missing his two beloved daughters, Demi (8 tua tahun) and newborn Amelia.

 

 

 

“I get homesick. I miss my babies back home, but it’ll all be worth it,"Dia berkata. “It’s my job and I’m going to do it.”

FRISCO, TEXAS (Mei 2, 2018) – Welterweight world champion Errol Spence Jr. received a championswelcome in his hometown Wednesday at Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters at a press conference to discuss his homecoming defense Saturday, Bulan Juni 16 live on SHOWTIME against unbeaten Carlos Ocampo at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

Spence and Ocampo were welcomed with personalized Dallas Cowboys jerseys and an appearance from Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders at The Star as Spence prepares to make his first hometown world title defense. He last fought in Dallas in November 2015 but will now have a chance to excite his hometown fans in the first boxing event to take place inside Ford Center.

 

 

 

Tiket untuk acara, yang dipromosikan oleh TGB Promotions terkait dengan Man Down Promotions, go on sale Friday, Mei 4 di 10 a.m. CT dan dapat dibeli di www.SeatGeek.com.

 

 

 

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday from the Dallas Cowboys Headquarters Atrium Interview Room at the Star:

 

Errol SPENCE JR.

 

 

 

“Ini adalah kesempatan besar bagi saya. This has been a lifelong dream of mine. I can’t wait to fight in front of my hometown fans that have been rooting for me since the amateurs. It’s great to bring this event to Ford Center. I’m happy to defend my title against a great contender like Ocampo and I hope everyone comes out and supports their champion.

 

 

 

I don’t think there’s any extra pressure fighting in my hometown. It’s just added motivation. Real pressure was fighting against 30,000 fans in the champion’s hometown for my first title against Kell Brook. This is me fighting in front of people who love me and who have seen me grow up as a boxer. I can’t wait to put on a show for them.

 

 

 

Everybody poses a challenge in the ring. Ocampo is tough. He’s young and this is something he’s been fighting for his whole life. Aku tahu dia datang untuk melawan. Mexican fighters have a great tradition. They come to fight and they don’t back down. I know he’s going to give it his all and that gets me motivated.

 

 

 

My motto is ‘Man Downand I have to live up to it. I don’t go in looking for the knockout, but I let it happen naturally. I let it come to me and we’re definitely going to let it happen on fight night.

 

 

 

I feel like I’ve definitely earned this hometown fight. To go to another country and fight a champion in his hometown, and to win the belt, I think I deserve to defend my belt in front of my fans.

 

 

 

It’s going to be a great feeling being at this venue on fight night. When I was a kid, I thought I was going to be playing for the Cowboys. So this is just going to be a wonderful opportunity. I’ve already talked to a lot of Cowboys players who are excited to come see me fight.

 

 

 

I do believe I’m the best welterweight in boxing right now. I’ve been trying to prove it for a long time. I’m never looking past anyone, but I’d love to fight Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter and when he’s back, Keith Thurman. I’m ready to fight the best in the division and prove I reign supreme over all of them.

 

CARLOS OCAMPO

 

 

 

I know that this is a great opportunity to be fighting here in Spence’s hometown. That’s a plus for me and it motivates me. I’m going to be ready to fight for 12 putaran.

 

 

 

It’s supposed to be tough with the crowd against me and I know I’m the underdog, but my mind is only on the fight. I’m just fighting one man, not a whole crowd. I know that I have what it takes.

 

 

 

Spence is a very smart and tough fighter, but he doesn’t scare me. I’ve been working for this for too long and I will be 100 percent ready to win.

 

 

 

I’ve had a very tough preparation and a very long camp. We’ve been sparring southpaws to prepare and so far everything has been smooth.

 

 

 

Being here I am even more excited and more motivated to push hard these last weeks of training camp and come into this fight at my absolute best.

 

 

 

I have been the underdog before and I’m prepared to once again overcome that. I’m not worried about what anybody else thinks of me or this fight. My mind is only on winning and being prepared to do whatever I have to.

 

 

 

He can talk about knocking me out all he wants but I’m here too and I’m ready to knock him out on June 16.

 

Derrick JAMES, Spence Trainer

 

 

 

Being at home, this fight is going to be about Errol keeping his focus and staying task. He’s always been able to do that. He’s motivated and driven. He’s the guy that you have to drag away from the gym.

 

 

 

I never looked ahead to moments like this with Errol, from the beginning we just grinded away day by day. I was focused on enhancing his skillset and that’s what we’re still doing to this day.

 

 

 

I’m able to keep my feelings bottled up until after a fight, because being at home there can be a lot of distractions. But of course, this event being here in Dallas is phenomenal. I’m most excited that my two daughters will be able to come to the fight.

 

 

 

Errol has been training extremely hard like he always does. On the first day of sparring he did 15 putaran dengan [WBC 154-pound champion] Jermell Charlo and [terkalahkan kelas berat ringan] Adrian Taylor.

 

 

 

The two of us just have to stay focused and everything comes naturally. It’s going to be a great show for this city and a great night for Errol.

 

STEPHEN Espinoza, Presiden, Pemrograman Olahraga dan Acara, Showtime Networks, Inc.

 

 

 

SHOWTIME is the home of the biggest fights and brightest stars in boxing, so we are particularly thrilled to be here at the home of the best professional franchise in sports, the Dallas Cowboys. We’re proud to be bringing the first boxing event ever inside of the Ford Center and we can’t wait to show off these facilities on SHOWTIME in June.

 

 

 

This is the first world title fight in Dallas in quite some time and I can’t think of anyone better to bring that here with than Errol Spence Jr. It’s fitting that the NFL Draft was here last week, because I think that if boxing had a draft, there’s a good argument Errol Spence Jr. would be the number one pick. He’s top pound-for-pound champion, he’s a popular draw and he’s in boxing’s most talent-rich division. He has the ‘Trainer of the Yearin his corner and has won 10 straight fights by knockout, from contender to champion. That is the sign of a truly great fighter.

 

 

 

The great thing about boxing and for Carlos Ocampo, is that none of those accolades matter on June 16. Peringkat, opinions and belts don’t matter. It’s just two guys in a ring and only one man will win. He’s spent his whole life working for this opportunity and I believe that will make this an exciting event.

 

 

 

As a Texas-native, I know that Dallas is a football town, it’s a good town for all sports but at its heart, Dallas is a football town. But I have great confidence that on June 16, Dallas will be a great boxing town as well.

 

TOM BROWN, Presiden TGB Promosi

 

 

 

 

With IBF Welterweight World Champion Errol Spence Jr. making his homecoming debut at this great venue, the Headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys, I know that this is going to be a hot ticket and one you’ll want to purchase right way.

 

 

 

A lot of hard work went into getting this event together at this great venue and we’re thrilled to be working with the team here at Ford Center to bring it to the fight fans of this city.

 

 

 

Errol Spence is one of most talked about fighters in the sport. Many consider him the best welterweight and perhaps the best fighter in the world. He’s also made it known that he’s willing to prove that and fight the best in the division. But he can’t afford to look past this young undefeated challenger from Mexico, in Carlos Ocampo. He’s fought his whole life for this opportunity and is here to make the most of it. It’s going to be a great night and a great homecoming for Errol Spence Jr. on June 16.

 

STEPHEN JONES, Chief Operating Officer of the Dallas Cowboys

 

 

 

These are two really special young men on this stage and this is the kind of event that we had in mind when we opened The Star. To be able to have great athletes like these as part of unique events at The Star is something we’re very excited about.

 

 

 

We like to create versatility for this venue and we want to bring all types of sporting events here. This doesn’t happen without the city of Frisco and the Frisco independent school district. We’re also honored to partner with TGB Promotions and Premier Boxing Champions for this groundbreaking announcement.

 

 

 

It’s known how energetic the sport of boxing is, but to be able to host Errol Spence Jr. and have him represent our city will be an unforgettable experience for all. Carlos Ocampo is a quality opponent who is also unbeaten. I admire both of you men and I look forward to watching you on June 16.

The main event will be televised live on SHOWTIME BOXING: EDISI KHUSUS (10 p.m. ET / PT) and will also feature highlights of Unified Women’s Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer as she defends her WBC & WBO Titles in her U.S. debut against former world champion Tori Nelson.

The 23-year-old O’Quinn says he’s eager to get in the ring at this historic event.

 

 

 

“I’m excited because this will be my first eight-rounder. I feel good that I’m getting closer to 10- and 12-round fights and a world title shot. I know it will happen, but I have to work my way up to the big fights and get noticed more first. Pelatihan berjalan dengan baik. I was already working out before I found out I was fighting. I was already in good shape, so now we’re stepping it up and getting in serious shape.”

 

 

 

O'Quinn, from the West Side of Detroit in the Plymouth And Greenfield area, enjoys intense popularity among Motown boxing fans, which gives him extra motivation to impress.

 

 

 

“It’s a great feeling hearing my name being chanted by hundreds of people when I come out. It’s what I love and I appreciate that my fans stand behind what I’m doing. I have a great team behind me and great fans.”

 

 

 

A decorated former amateur boxer, O’Quinn won the USA National Championship at bantamweight and the 2013 USA Boxing Youth National Championships. He says it’s that amateur pedigree that gives him his high “boxing IQ” in the ring and makes him so adaptable to any style.

 

 

 

“I have such great management and promoters, I know whoever I fight will be the best for my career, so it doesn’t really matter. Everybody knows I’m always in shape an I’ll be in even greater shape this time. It’s a big show, so I’m doing more of everything to get ready.”

 

 

 

“Ja’Rico O’Quinn is one of the best Bantamweight prospects in the country,” kata promotornya, Dmitriy Salita. “His speed, skills and exciting style make his fights very entertaining. His fan base grows with each fight and I believe that Ja’Rico has the skills to join the list of fighters that brought glory to the great boxing city of Detroit.”

KUTIPAN & GAMBAR DARI INDUKTUR NYSBHOF

 


(L-R) – Ron McNair, Jake Rodriguez dan Bob Duffy
JAKE RODRIGUEZ: “Saya ingin berterima kasih kepada Ring 8 untuk kesempatan saya berada di sini. Saya juga ingin berterima kasih kepada istri saya karena selalu ada untuk saya, dan pelatih saya.”

(L-R) – Herb Goldman, Don Majeski dan Bob Duffy
HERB GOLDMAN: “Jika saya telah memberikan kontribusi pada tinju – Saya harap saya punya – Saya melakukannya dengan mendefinisikan ulang pencatatan dan menciptakan perspektif baru tentang sejarah tinju. Saya bangga akan hal itu, tapi saya tidak melakukannya sendiri.”
(L-R) – Joe Mesi, Jack Hirsch dan Bob Duffy
JOE MESI: “Saya memiliki banyak orang untuk berterima kasih atas kehormatan ini. Saya seorang Buffalonian. Tidak ada yang lebih menyukai satu New York, tapi ternyata tidak. Ini spesial bagi saya karena ini adalah Hall of Fame Tinju Negara Bagian New York. Ini menguatkan saya dan membuat saya berpikir bahwa saya bukan hanya anak lokal. Ada kerugian besar yang datang dari kota kecil, sparring tidak sama dengan di gym di New York City, tapi saya mendapat keuntungan datang dari Western New York. Tidak ada orang yang keluar seperti yang kami lakukan di Buffalo 10,000, kemudian 16,00 dan akhirnya 18,000 orang orang. Mereka selalu ada di belakang saya dan saya berbagi ini dengan mereka karena dukungan mereka membuat saya. Impian saya adalah bertarung di Buffalo dan terus bertarung di sana.
“Salah satu hal terpenting dalam hidup saya adalah melawan Monte Barrett di HBO di Madison Square Garden. Dia adalah salah satu petarung terhebat di dunia yang memperjuangkan gelar dunia. Saya selalu ingin mendapatkan gelar juara dunia saya, tapi saya tidak pernah mendapatkannya. Tidak apa-apa, Saya sedikit pahit untuk sementara waktu, tetapi saya tidak bisa lebih bahagia dengan karier saya. Bagian terbaik dari tinju adalah persaudaraan yang kita miliki.

(L-R) – Randy Gordon, Ron Scott Stevens dan Bob Duffy
BAJA RON SCOTT: “Saya tahu orang selalu mengatakannya, tapi inilah kebenarannya: Saya berhutang pada banyak orang yang telah mendukung saya sepanjang karir saya. Tinju selalu jauh dari rumah bagi saya dan hari ini saya merasa seperti di rumah sendiri.
“Tadi saya 30, tinggal di Brooklyn Heights, dan kembali mengendarai taksi menunggu di meja. Sebuah lampu padam di kepalaku: tinju adalah olahraga yang diunggulkan dan saya adalah yang tidak diunggulkan. Keesokan harinya saya pergi ke Gleason's Gym – pusat alam semesta. Saya berkeliling semua gym di kota, promotor pertemuan, manajer dan pelatih. Saya mulai membuat pertandingan untuk promotor dan kemudian Cedric Kushner mempekerjakan saya 1980-2002. Di 2002, Saya mendapat panggilan untuk bekerja di Komisi Atletik Negara Bagian New York sebagai Koordinator Komunitas dan Direktur Tinju. Kemudian, Saya diangkat menjadi ketua dan saya menjabat dua periode. Hari Ini, Saya sangat bangga menjadi bagian dari Hall of Fame Tinju Negara Bagian New York.

(L-R) – Bob Duffy, Henry Hascup, Bob Goodman dan Tommy Gallagher
BOB GOODMAN: “Saya tidak percaya kerumunan ini. Untuk melakukan apa yang kami lakukan, pengorbanan dan dukungan yang Anda dapatkan dari keluarga Anda sangat penting dan (dalam kasus Goodman) selama bertahun-tahun. Mereka mengizinkan kami melakukan apa yang kami lakukan. Kita semua suka tinju!”

(L-R) – Ray Mercer, Penny Allen, Ke sekolah, Clay Jenkins dan Bob Duffy
KE SEKOLAH: “Saya pikir tinju adalah olahraga terbodoh dan terbodoh yang pernah ada. Siapa yang ingin dipukul di wajah? Saya mulai bertinju terlambat. Saya bermain-main dan orang-orang bilang saya cukup bagus. Saya mulai bertinju saat masih muda 20, di Angkatan Darat, ditempatkan di Ft. Kap. Empat tahun kemudian, Saya berada di Tim Olimpiade. Alasan mengapa saya memiliki pasangan tanding yang hebat, Ray Mercer. Jika aku akan berada di ring setiap hari bersama Ray, Saya akan dipukuli, atau menjadi lebih baik.
“Saya ingat Bob Arum memberi saya kartu namanya. Saya tidak kenal dia. Saya hanya tahu tiga orang di tinju: Don King, Muhammad Ali dan Sugar Ray Leonard. Saya tidak mengikuti tinju dan satu-satunya alasan saya bertinju adalah saya harus tidur di hutan jika tidak melakukannya (di Angkatan Darat). Tinju adalah: pukul dia, sebelum dia memukulku.”

(L-R) – Bobby Cassidy, Jr., Jaime Drubin dan Pete Brodsky
PETE BRODSKY: “Saya ingin berterima kasih kepada dewan. Aku akan menjadi 70 dan mulai bertinju ketika saya masih 18. Itu menciptakan arah baru dalam hidup saya. Saya sangat bangga berada di perusahaan dengan orang-orang yang tidak hanya membicarakannya, mereka menyukainya. Jika Anda sangat menyukai olahraga ini, Anda benar-benar harus mempelajarinya. Siapapun yang menginjak ring, ditambah semua perbaikan jalan, waktu di gym dan mengorbankan apa yang mereka makan, melakukan itu untuk menjadi yang terbaik yang mereka bisa.
“Dalam tinju, Anda tidak akan memenangkan setiap pertarungan, tapi apakah petarung menang atau kalah, jika dia memberi 100 persen, dia adalah pemenang. Mereka melakukan pekerjaan, lari lima mil sehari, berolahraga di gym, dan kemudian pulang untuk menghabiskan waktu bersama keluarganya. Teman dan keluarga selalu mendukung Anda.”

(L-R) – Masyarakat Darryl & Melvina Lathan
MELVINA LATHAM: “Saya tidak dapat berkata-kata. Itu luar biasa. Cabul (mantan ketua NYSAC, Gordon), apakah kamu ingat cerita ini? Hanya ada tiga hakim dan, sayangnya, satu disebut sakit. Saya duduk di sisi ring tanpa tanggung jawab. Randy bilang aku harus bekerjamalam ini. Saya mengatakan bahwa saya tidak memiliki lisensi dan tidak dapat melakukannya. Kata Randy, 'Angkat tangan kananmu', dan itu aktif. Saya dilempar ke sana, tapi tidak apa-apa.
“Prestasi terbesar saya adalah anak-anak dan suami saya. Saya tidak bisa meminta situasi yang lebih baik. Dan Ralph Petrillo adalah bagian dari keluargaku; dia orang kedua dalam perintahku. Saya juga memiliki pejabat terbaik: wakil komisaris, inspektur, juri dan wasit. Saya tidak akan berada di sini dengan tanpa mereka. Bob Duffy menyatukan semuanya. Menurut saya pribadi dia luar biasa.

Undefeated Puerto Rican Bantamweight Manny Rodriguez Ready for Former World Champion Paul Butler This Saturday at 02 Arena

Bantamweight contender Emmanuel “Manny” Rodriguez and his team have landed safely and ready to face former world champion Paul “Baby Faced Assassin” Butler for the vacant IBF World Championship, Sabtu ini, Mei 5, at the O2 Arena in London.

 

 

 

 

Presented by Matchroom Boxing, Rodriguez (17-0, 12 Biaya), Puerto Rico, and Butler (26-1, 14 Biaya), 29, Inggris, will meet in a 12-round supporting bout to the all-British rematch between former World Heavyweight Champions Tony Bellew (29-2-1, 19 Biaya) and David Haye (28-3, 26 Biaya).

 

 

 

 

Rodriguez almost had his very promising boxing career derailed for a time by an unfortunate car accident in which he burned 66% of his body. After a long rehab, he returned, and went on a, sejauh ini, 17-fight tear through the professional ranks.

 

 

 

The 25-year-old was the mandatory contender to face former champion Ryan Burnett, who chose to relinquish his belts. This allowed for Butler to slide into the fight for the unclaimed belt.

 

 

 

29-year-old Butler previously held the IBF belt, but before defending it, elected to drop down in weight to face then-champion Zolani Tete… and was stopped in the eighth round. He has won nine fights since.

 

 

 

“It has been a long road to this fight, but I am ready to win my first world championship,” said Rodriguez. “Paul Butler is a good fighter, tapi tidak ada yang bisa menghentikan saya. I have worked too hard to get here. It doesn’t matter that we’re in his backyard. I’ve done everything right getting ready for this and I look forward to bringing the belt back to my beloved country of Puerto Rico.”

 

 

 

Rodriguez’ co-promoter, Leon Margules Warriors Tinju, says a star will be born Saturday night.

 

 

 

“Manny has always been a superstar in the making. I am happy he is finally getting the chance to shine in front of a large audience, worldwide. I have no doubt he will win impressively and set himself up for several big showdowns in the near future.”

 

 

 

 

SHOWTIME® ANNOUNCES RAW AND REVEALING DOCUMENTARY CHRONICLING SPORTSCASTER MAURO RANALLO AND HIS LIFELONG BATTLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS

 

BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER Premieres During Mental Health Awareness Month

NEW YORK – April 30, 2018 – Prolific combat sports broadcaster Mauro Ranallo and his lifelong battle with mental illness are the subject of a new documentary film from SHOWTIME Sports®. BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER – named for the moniker Ranallo gave himself as a broadcast personality and DJ in the early 90’s – will premiere on SHOWTIME during Mental Health Awareness Month on Friday, Mei 25 di 9 p.m. ET / PT.

 

First look video: https://s.sho.com/2Ft4Mig

 

 

Ranallo has Bipolar Affective Disorder, a condition afflicting nearly five percent of the U.S. population according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI.org). As a national sportscaster for preeminent boxing, mixed martial arts and WWE events, Ranallo has long been an advocate for ending the stigma of mental illness. Saat Ini, untuk pertama kalinya, he exposes the true extent of his daily struggle. Through extensive behind-the-scenes video footage, candid personal interviews and detailed accounts from his loved ones and doctors, BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER takes an unflinching look at mental illness and its effects.

 

 

 

The film explores Ranallo’s career, including his work on the two biggest pay-per-view events in television history, and his relentless pursuit of a childhood dream despite seemingly insurmountable odds. Through this deeply personal portrait, Ranallo hopes that the film might inspire others to persevere in pursuing their dreams despite the challenges of a mental health condition.

 

 

 

“I have always tried to do my part to bring awareness to mental health issues,” said Ranallo. “Over the last several years, I allowed my best friend, Haris (Usanovic), to film me at my lowest points as well as at my highest. The idea is simply to show others who suffer that they are not alone and that, even when the outlook is bleak, you can overcome and achieve success. Mental illness is a life sentence—there is no cure—but it doesn’t have to be a death sentence.”

 

 

 

“Through BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER, Mauro Ranallo has chosen to share not only his life’s dreams, but his nightmares as well,"Kata Stephen Espinoza, Presiden, Sports and Event Programming for Showtime Networks Inc. “Having reached the pinnacle of his profession, Mauro bravely turns his keen observational skills inward to examine his own life-long battle. The result is a raw, poignant and ultimately inspirational film that personifies Mauro’s courage and selflessness.”

 

 

 

Ranallo is a popular fixture on today’s combat sports scenes. In a career that has spanned more than 30 tahun, he has called everything from “All-Star Wrestling,” a Canadian professional wrestling outfit, to historic MMA events for PRIDE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIPS out of Japan, to WWE SmackDown Live di USA Network, to many of the biggest boxing events in the world for SHOWTIME Sports. Ranallo was the first broadcaster to call play-by-play on boxing, kickboxing, MMA and professional wrestling events on national television.

 

 

 

Hari Ini, Ranallo is the voice of three prominent nationally televised series: SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®, WWE’s weekly show NXT on WWE Network, dan BELLATOR MMA on Paramount Network. Perhaps best known for his dramatic, excitable style, Ranallo is a student of the English language. He has already made a lasting mark on the industry having called the two biggest pay-per-view events in television history: Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao (Mei 2015, international telecast); dan Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor (Agustus. 2017, SHOWTIME PPV®).

 

BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER is produced by Brian Dailey, the network’s Vice President, Sports Digital Content and Strategy, and MALKA MEDIA GROUP. Directed by first-time filmmaker Haris Usanovic, the film is executive produced by Stephen Espinoza and SHOWTIME Sports.
