Park City, קאַנסאַס (Split-T Management signs National Golden Gloves champion Poindexter Knight, דזשוניער. to a managerial contract
|
|
| ניו יארק (יוני 1, 2017) -Split-T Management is pleased to announce the signing of the 2017 לאַנדיש גאָלדען גלאָוועס מייַסטער, פּאָינדעקסטער נייט, דזשוניער. to a managerial contract.
Knight of North Philadelphia won the National Golden Gloves while competing in the middleweight division, but will campaign as a professional as a welterweight. The 21year-old compiled an amateur record of 45-5 מיט 15 קנאָקקאָוץ, and before winning the National Golden Gloves, was a two-time Pennsylvania State Golden Gloves winner. Knight was introduced to the sport by his father, Poindexter Sr., who was an amateur boxer and wanted his son to know how to protect himself. “I was getting into a lot fights because I was short for my age and also my name. After getting expelled, my dad took me to the gym and I fell just fell in love with the sport,” said Knight. בייַ 13 years-old he was able to spar with top contender Hank Lundy. “I learned so much from him, “says Knight. “Not only the physical aspect but also the mental part of boxing . Hank’s an old school type fighter where he is not only good skillfully, but he is smart mentally as he tries to get in your head when you’re in there with him. I learned a lot during those sessions and we last worked together as I was preparing for the National Golden Gloves.” “I only gave boxing my whole attention in the last year. As you can see the results as I took the Pennsylvania Golden Gloves open division and then I won the Nationals at 165 פונט.” Despite being a bit on the small end for that weight class, Knight was able to overcome and take the crown. “People said I was not going to win neither because I am really a welterweight and had to enter the Golden Gloves at a higher division because of a technicality. Everyone was saying I would be too small to compete as a middleweight!” I always had a lot of confidence in myself and love to prove people wrong so when I got to the Nationals, I wanted to prove a point that I could be the best Middleweight in the tournament. I was weighing only 155lbs. and fight guys coming down to 165 and I dominated the competition.” Knight is excited to join a stable that includes Olympians Antonio Vargas, Teofimo Lopez and Charles Conwell. “I’m very happy to have signed with David McWater. When I met him, he talked to me like man. He didn’t try to sell me a dream but instead told me the realities of boxing. The good and the bad of the business.” “To top it all off, everyone I knew that knows him had great things to say about him and he showed me I can trust him as well as feel confident he will move my career in the right direction.” Knight compares his style to Terence Crawford and Roy Jones, דזשוניער. “I am a strong southpaw with good size. Not only can I box like Terrence, I have lightning speed similar to Roy with power that can end a fight with one punch.” “I want to be mentioned as one of the greats to come out of Philadelphia. The Bennie Briscoe’s, the Jeff Chandler’s, the Meldrick Taylor’s and the list can go on and on. I want people to mention me in the same breath!” סאַיד, Split-T Managements’s David McWater, “I’m very happy to have Poindexter Knight Jr. in the Split-T Family. One of America’s top amateur coaches, Otha Jones, had watched Poindexter sparring shortly before the national gloves and told me point blank the kid would win the whole thing. By mid-week I realized he was also fighting way above his weight class and was giving ten pounds in most fights, those two things really impressed me. He is a wonderful kid and now joins a team with many former National Champions and I expect the same big things from him as we’ve had for our other top prospects.” |
FOUR-DIVISION WORLD CHAMPION ADRIEN BRONER TAKES ON UNDEFEATED THREE-DIVISION CHAMPION MIKEY GARCIA AT 140 פּאָונדס

וואַך, ייַנטיילן, Embed Video: http://s.sho.com/2qKad51
נייַ יארק (יוני 1, 2017) - טאָדייַ, שאָוטיים ספורט® announced a blockbuster matchup between two of boxing’s biggest stars as three-division world champion Mikey Garcia moves up in weight to 140 pounds to face four-division champion Adrien “The Problem” Broner in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®, שבת, יולי 29, לעבן אויף שאָוטיים. Adrien Broner vs. Mikey Garcia is presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
In yet another significant main event matchup on SHOWTIME, these world-class fighters will meet at a critical time in their respective careers. A three-division world champion at the age of 23, and one of the youngest four-division world champions in boxing history, the flamboyant Broner remains one of the most accomplished and popular athletes – and perhaps the most polarizing – in the sport today. Among the top 140-pounders in the world, Broner is undefeated at or below 140 pounds with his only two losses coming against welterweight world champions Marcos Maidana and Shawn Porter. An experienced fighter at just 27 יאר אַלט, בראָנער (33-2, 24 קאָס) still believes he is the future of the sport and promises to prove it against Garcia on July 29.
מייקי גאַרסיאַ, 29 years old and undefeated (36-0, 30 קאָס), is a recently crowned lightweight champion on a self-appointed journey to become a household name in the sport of boxing. Garcia will move up in weight for the second time in just three fights to challenge Broner. Garcia represents a boxing family developing legendary status in the modern era of the sport. He is renowned for his sportsmanship and his commanding presence in the ring, honed by his brother and acclaimed trainer Robert Garcia. Mikey has held world titles at 126, 130 און 135 פונט, but has never fought north of 138.
שבת, יולי 29 וועט זיין דער 19טה live boxing event on SHOWTIME this year. The main event bout will be a WBC 12-round special attraction.
“SHOWTIME Sports continues to deliver the most anticipated matchups, the most important events and the most thrilling fights in boxing,"האט געזאגט סטעפאנוסן עספּינאָזאַ, Executive וויצע פּרעזידענט און גענעראַל מאַנאַגער, שאָוטיים ספורט. “We consistently feature top-rated champions and challengers. The best are fighting the best and the results have been spectacular. Adrien Broner vs. Mikey Garcia is a fight that fight fans have dreamed of—an undefeated, young star facing one of the best 140-pound fighters in the sport, both men in the prime of their respective careers. יולי 29 promises to be a memorable night in a year already full of memorable boxing events.”
בראָנער, פון סינסאַנאַטי, אָהיאָ, has achieved more in his young career than most fighters can hope for in a lifetime. After earning world titles at 130, 135 און 147 פונט, Broner won a belt in a fourth weight division – 140 pounds – in October 2015 when he defeated Khabib Allakhverdiev via 12טה round stoppage to become the second youngest four-division champion in boxing history at 26 (behind Oscar De La Hoya, 24). ווי אַ ליבהאָבער, Broner compiled a record of 300 ווינס, 19 losses under the guidance of his trainer Mike Stafford, who has remained in Broner’s corner throughout his entire career. Broner will turn 28 years old on יולי 28, the day before his bout with Garcia.
Once considered one of the top young pound-for-pound boxers in the world, מייקי גאַרסיאַ, of Moreno Valley by way of Oxnard, קאַליף., returned to the ring after a two-and-half-year layoff in July 2016 without missing a beat. He scored a dominant fifth-round stoppage over former world champion Elio Rojas in his first fight back. דעמאָלט, Garcia became a three-division champion by beating previously undefeated lightweight world champion Dejan Zlaticanin with a vicious third-round knockout last January. Garcia has stopped 19 פון זיין לעצטע 21 opponents including Roman “Rocky” Martinez, וואַן מאַנועל לאָפּעז, Orlando Salido and Bernabe Concepcion.

Heavyweight Sonya Lamonakis Takes on Laura Ramsey for vacant UBF World Championship
|
“New England’s Future 3” June 10th אין Worcester, מאַ
|
 Worcester, מאַסע. (יוני 1, 2017) – Popular heavyweight Sonya “The Scholar” Lamonakis נעמט אויף Laura “Lady Ram” Ramsey פֿאַר די ליידיק וניווערסאַל באָקסינג Federation (ובף) World title, אויף שבת נאַכט, יוני 10, אין די אַכט-קייַלעכיק “New England’s Future 3” co-feature at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) אין Worcester, מאַססאַטשוסעטץ.“New England’s Future 3” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (רפּע), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, צוויי אָפּטייל וועלט מייַסטער דזשאָסע אַנטאָניאָ ריוועראַ און זיין זון, Anthonee (אַ.דזש.) ריוועראַ.
Undefeated prospect Irvin Gonzalez (6-0, 6 קאָס), 21, headlines at home in his first scheduled eight-round bout, קעגן Raul Lopez (10-2-1, 5 קאָס), פון בראנקס (ניו יאָרק), for the vacant UBF All-American super featherweight championship.
“I am excited to be able to have our first world championship boxing match on our ‘New England’s 3’ באָקסינג געשעעניש,” promoter Jose Rivera commented. “It’s special because it’s a women’s World Heavyweight title fight with veterans like Sonya and Laura, who also have some hostilities towards one another. They’ve both earned this opportunity to fight for the UBF Women’s World Heavyweight Championship. I expect fireworks and know fans will be in for a treat.”
Pro boxing returns to the DCU Center for the first time אין 11 יאָרן, when promoter Jose Antonio Rivera defeated Alejandro גאַרסיאַ, by way of a 12-round unanimous decision, for the World Boxing Association (וובאַ) World super welterweight title.
Born in Greece, Lamonakis (10-2-2, 1 קאָ), who grew-up in Turners Falls (מאַ), is a teacher in New York City. She is a Springfield College graduate and has two Master’s Degrees. “I’m honored to be fighting in the first world title fight in Worcester since Jose Rivera,” Lamonakis said. “I’m from Massachusetts and I fought twice at Mechanics Hall (אין Worcester, including her pro debut in 2010). I heard Jose was promoting shows in Worcester, so I called to say I’d like to fight for a world title on one of his cards. I think he saw me fight before and he quickly agreed.
“This is still a make-dominates sport. I tell young girls to box as a side job. I have two Master’s Degrees and I’m a full-time teacher in New York. Boxing is my hobby. Very few women can make enough money boxing to make a good living. I don’t know if it’s because I was born in Greece and boxing is in my blood, but I love this sport and that’s what keeps me going. I guess I was born to fight. I enjoy getting in the ring. I’ve gotten a lot from boxing and now I’m giving back to amateurs in New York City as president of a youth organization.”
Lamonakis; is a former International Boxing Organization World and New York State female heavyweight champion. Her opponent, Ramsey (10-7, קאָס), as a two-time world title challenger is hoping the third time is the charm for her. They have history together and this fight nearly happened a few years ago.
“I beat her daughter (Alysia Williams-Stevenson) in my second pro fight,” Lamonakis explained. “She said she’s see me and now, seven years later, we’re fighting. She’s a little older than me and I needed more fights before I fought her. We were supposed to fight a few years ago in Aruba but a hurricane cancelled the show.”
In an eight-round Special Cruiserweight Attraction, Pembroke (מאַ) fan favorite Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita (16-1-1, 15 קאָס) meets Brazilian knockout specialist Marcelo Leonardo “Queizada” Da Silva (22-4, 17 קאָס).

DREAM MATCHES, BELLATOR VETERANS & TITLE FIGHTS TOP NEF 29 קאַמף קאָרט
לעוויסטאָן, מיין (יוני 1, 2017) - ניו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on יוני 17 with a fight card featuring both mixed-martial-arts (ממאַ) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, די העכערונג מודיע די פול קאַמף קאָרט פֿאַר די געשעעניש. The fight card is subject to approval of the Combat Sports Authority of Maine (CSAM). The boxing portion of the card will begin at 7 pm EDT with the MMA card to immediately follow.
In a highly-anticipated “Superfight,” Maine MMA star ברוס “שיין יינגל” בויינגטאָן (14-9 ממאַ, 1-0 באָקסינג) will take on Maine’s premier boxer רוססעלל “The Haitian Sensation” Lamour, דזשוניער. (15-2, 7 קאָס) in a six-round boxing bout. The fight will be a dream match for fans who never expected to see each sports’ top in-state athletes face one another. Boyington and Lamour have both been featured in nationally-televised bouts on NBC and ESPN in recent years. Lamour is the former New England Middleweight Champion, while Boyington held the NEF MMA Lightweight Title until relinquishing it last year to sign with the World Series of Fighting (ווסאָף) global promotion.
“Bruce and Russell are at the top of their respective games,” noted NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson. “Russell is a great boxer, and he’s going to face a superb striker in the form of Taekwondo black belt Bruce Boyington. This is a true dream match for Maine fight fans.”
The professional MMA portion of the fight card will feature the long-awaited return of former NEF MMA Featherweight Champion שטראַל “כל ביזנעס” האָלץ (8-3) as he faces Brazilian prospect אַלעקסאַנדרע “באַט” Bezerra (19-5). Wood left Maine more than two years ago to re-settle in South Carolina and then Texas. Both Wood and Bezerra are veterans of the Bellator cage with a dozen fights between them for the national promotion.
“When you consider both sides, this is probably the highest-level fight to ever take place in NEF,” said NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “This fight could easily be slid into any UFC card on FS1 or Fox and steal the show. Either one of these athletes could get the call up after this fight. Our fans are about to see something special.”
The amateur MMA card will be headlined by a title fight with Rafael “Deez Nuts” Velado (4-0) defending the amateur lightweight championship against Maine Amateur Wrestling Alliance Hall of Famer פּאַט קעלי(3-0). At age 52, Kelly will be the oldest fighter to ever challenge for an NEF title.
In addition to the fights, legendary boxer יעקב “Buster” דאָוגלאַס (38-6-1, 25 קאָס) will make an appearance at “NEF 29” as the guest of honor. Douglas will hold an hour-long meet-and-greet with fans at the Colisee from 6 pm צו 7 pm prior to the opening bell. Longtime fans will remember Douglas as the architect of the greatest upset in professional sports history with his knockout of “ייַזן” מייק טיסאָן (50-6, 44 קאָס) אין 1990 to claim the world heavyweight title. Douglas halted the 37-fight undefeated streak that opened Tyson’s pro career.
