Cia ib saib
Philadelphia – After ten years of celebrating the biggest and best achievements of the Philadelphia-area boxing scene, the Briscoe Awards will change the timing of their annual event, from October to March.

A total of eleven awards will be give out QHOV NO SUNDAY MARCH 25TH AT 1 PM ET, which includes prizes for the “Philly sib ntaus ntawm lub xyoo”, lub “Philly sib ntaus ntawm lub xyoo”, lub “Knockout ntawm lub xyoo”, “Amateur of the Year”, “Rookie ntawm lub xyoo”, “Zeem muag ntawm lub xyoo”, “Performance of the Year”, “Photo of the Year”, thiab ntau yam ntxiv.
The fighters being honored this year include Tyrone Brunson, Jaron Ennis, Kermit Cintron, Dylan Price, Avery Sparrow, Marcel Rivers, Raymond Ford, Jerome Conquest, and others.

2001 Fight of the Year Reunion for final stop of 2018 TEB CHAWS USA vs. Ireland Northeast Tour

Emanuel Augustus joins special guests Micky Ward & Steve Smoger to complete memorable fight
Lub peb hlis ntuj 21 nyob rau hauv Manchester, NH
COLORADO SPRINGS, Ncej puab. (Lub peb hlis ntuj 19, 2018) – Retired pro boxer Emanuel Augustus has confirmed his attendance this week at a USA Boxing-hosted reunion of the 2001 Sib ntaus ntawm lub xyoo, associated with the final stop on the 2018 TEB CHAWS USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour festivities in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Lub 2001 Fight of the Year was held July 13, 2001, at Hampton Beach Casino in Hampton, NH., and it is still considered one of the greatest matches ever broadcast on ESPN. “Irish” Micky Ward won an incredibly entertaining, back-and-forth junior welterweight match-up with “boxing cult” hero Emanuel Augustus, by way of a 10-round unanimous decision that was much closer than the judges’ scoring indicated (98-90, 96-91, 96-94).
“Ward versus Augustus was truly the event of the year in boxing and we’re so happy it was held right here in New Hampshire,” said Stephen, who has been in his position as chairman since 1974, “Micky was losing the fight until the later rounds. As the chairperson of he commission, I checked the judges’ scorecards after six or seven rounds and Micky was losing. Ces, Micky caught Augustus, dropped and really hurt him. He went on to win a great fight.”
The high-profile win positioned Ward for what turned out to be his epic Gatti trilogy, while Augustus went on to become one of the most dangerous, upset-minded opponents in boxing. Pawg ntseeg, Augustus and the third man in the ring that night, Hall of Fame referee Steve Smoger, will host as USA Alumni Association event Tuesday, Hiav txwv. 20 at The Shaskeen Pub & Restaurant (909 Elm St. nyob rau hauv Manchester), pib thaum 6 p.m. THIAB.
The trio will also be joined by two others closely associated with the 2001 Sib ntaus ntawm lub xyoo, Chairman of the New Hampshire Boxing and Wrestling Commission, Bobby Stephen, as well as International matchmaker, Eric Bottjer, who made the Ward-Augustus fight in 2001.
All five will also attend the USA Boxing Alumni Association event as well as the following night’s (Hiav txwv. 21) TEB CHAWS USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour finale at the Manchester Downtown Hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire.
SPECIAL MANCHESTER AMATEUR BOXING MATCH ADDED
A special lightweight novice WILL open the competition, showcasing two Manchester amateur boxers, Abhisek Thapa (Title Boxing Club) thiab Michael Correa (Manchester PAL).
Presented by Corona Premium, the Manchester event will start at 7 p.m. EST, and it also serves as a fundraiser for another partner of the show, the Manchester PAL Boxing Club.

“We’re so happy to have the USA-Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour here in Manchester,” Stephen added. “The talent on both squads is extraordinary. We’re honored to have these two teams here for this big event. It’s a credit to USA Boxing and (special events director) Al Valenti, who has done so much over the years for boxing in New Hampshire. Boxing was very popular here many years ago. People turned out in droves to attend the Golden Gloves. There’s a boxing resurgence and that’s so important to teach young people discipline, respect and conditioning that’s so needed today. These amateurs do their best for the love of boxing; they aren’t in it for money like professionals.
“Micky is honorable, a real nice person. It means a lot for local fans and boxers to meet him. We were fortunate to have him fight in New Hampshire on serval occasions and nobody who watched his fight Augustus or his trilogy with Arturo Gatti will never forget.”.

Born and raised in Brazil but now fighting out of Plant City, FL under head trainer Jose Rodriguez, Falcao captured a Bronze Medal at the London Olympics in 2012. The 30-year-old standout has been flawless thus far as a pro, compiling ib tug 14-0 cov ntaub ntawv nrog 7 yeej los ntawm knockout. On May 5, 2017, Falcao impressively outpointed previously unbeaten Morgan Fitch (18-0-1) over ten rounds. Tam sim no nyob #13 los ntawm lub ntiaj teb Boxing Council, Falcao meets one of the craftiest veterans in the 160 phaus faib.
A Miami based Colombian, Gutierrez is a 51 fight veteran. He’s faced a number of top fighters including Joshua Clottey, Alredo Angulo, Luis Carlos Abregu, Zaurbek Baysangurov, Yudel Johnson, Jonathan Gonzalez, Vanes Martirosyan and Gilberto Ramirez among others. Ntawm 30-17-2 nrog 19 KO lub, Gutierrez has only been stopped three times and is a former WBC Latino titlist. Nyob rau hauv nws feem ntau tsis ntev los no sib ntau sib tw, he held unbeaten Marcos Osorio to a draw in his native Puerto Rico.
“Gutierrez is a very tough, tej, crafty and game fighter,” said Jody Calaguire of Team Falcao. “Yama has been looking great in camp and is ready to win impressively.”
Lub 31st also marks Falcao’s first fight in Massachusetts, which has one of the largest Brazilian populations in the United States. While nothing is quite like fighting at home, Falcao’s hoping the Brazilian community comes out in large numbers to support him.
“The Brazilian people are extremely important to me. I have fought six times in Brazil and my Olympic Bronze was for everybody in the country. Knowing there’s many Brazilians in the Boston area where the fight is taking place further inspires me to put on a great performance. I hope to see many Brazilian flags and meet new supporters on the 31st."
The card is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions in association with Murphy’s Boxing and will air on ESPN2. Tickets are available at Murphysboxing.com.

Stephon Hluas: ‘Team Gaballo Not Thinking Enough About What’s Going to Happen to Him’

Cia ib saib
St. Louis Bantamweight Young to Face Reymart Gaballo for WBA Interim World Championship on Friday, Lub peb hlis ntuj 23, at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Twv txiaj yuam pov, Hollywood, Florida
Perennial 118-lb contender Stephon “Showstopper” Young is finishing up his 13-week training camp in Miami while wondering if his opponent knows what he’s truly in for next week.
Rau Friday, Lub peb hlis ntuj 23, in the Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., WBA #4-rated Young (17-0-3, 7 Kos) from St. Louis will face WBA #5 Reymart “GenSan Assassin” Gaballo (18-0, 16 Kos) from General Santos City, Philippines, in a 12-round battle for the WBA Interim World Bantamweight Championship.
Young vs. Gaballo headlines promoter Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory’s “Rumble at the Rock,” an 11-bout night of world-class professional boxing. In the 10-round co-main, former WBA Super World Bantamweight Champion Juan Carlos Payano (19-1, 9 Kos) yuav siv sij hawm nyob rau hauv “Magic” Mike Plania (14-0, 7 Kos) from General Santos City, Philippines.
Daim pib no yog luv nqi ntawm $255, $130, $80 thiab $55. All seats are reserved and available at all Ticketmaster outlets, hauv internet ntawm www.myhrl.com, www.ticketmaster.com or charge by phone: 1-800-745-3000. Additional fees may apply.
29-year-old southpaw Young says that while Gaballo obviously has some strength to have such a high KO percentage, he is too green to be in the ring with a fighter at his level and experience.
“Yuav kom ncaj ncees, Kuv yuav tsis muaj dab tsi los ntawm nws, but they should have stepped him up with a different opponent first and not thrown him in with a guy like me,” hais tias cov hluas. “I feel he’s not ready yet and that will show tom ntej no Friday. He should have had two or three more fights, but I feel like just because it’s for a title, they are rushing toward it. It’s a good opportunity for him, but they’re not thinking enough about what’s going to happen to him. I will be bringing everything I’ve got that night.”
Hluas, who still lives in St. Louis but travels to Miami for camp, says coming up the hard way in boxing and then meeting up with his current team will make all the difference tom ntej no Friday.
“When I turned pro, I didn’t get signed right off the bat with a big-time promoter,” nws hais tias. “I went and fought in people’s backyards and proved myself. I was given nothing, but I knew my time would come. I stayed focused and continued to train. I’ve been with my coach, Herman Caicedo, now for two years and I’m a totally different fighter. I want to thank my team, my promoter Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory for giving me this opportunity, my manager Henry Rivalta for always believing in me and my coach Herman Caicedo for getting me in the best shape I’ve ever been.”
For Young, lifting the belt over his head tom ntej no Friday will be a dream come true.
“Winning no sib ntaus txhais tau tias txhua yam. It’s a big accomplishment and nothing can keep me from my dreams. Rau Lub peb hlis ntuj 23, I will be champion.”
“Rumble at the Rock” is proudly sponsored by Armero Tequila. Special guests expected that evening include former heavyweight champions Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe and Evander “Qhov tiag Deal” Holyfield. Rau kev sib ntaus hmo ntuj, Hard Rock Event Center will open its doors at 6 p.m. nrog rau cov thawj bout pib ntawm 7 p.m. Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is located at 1 Seminole Way nyob rau hauv Hollywood, Florida.
