Esto es lo que los combatientes tenían que decir sobre el campo de entrenamiento, entre sí y más:
¿Cómo ha ido el campo de entrenamiento para esta pelea??
Javier Fortuna: I’m having an excellent training camp. We’re working hard and figuring out how to break down my opponent. Hector Bermudez does a great job and I’m very comfortable training here in Boston. I’ve gotten great sparring with guys like Will Madero and Alden Whatley. I’m going to be just as strong in the final round as I was in the first.
Omar Douglas: “El entrenamiento ha ido muy bien. I was already working and staying sharp, because I knew a big fight was on the horizon. Training in Delaware with Douglas Petitford has been great for me and I’ve had incredible sparring. I’ve been in there getting rounds with (2016 U.S. Olímpico) Gary Antuanne Russell and a veteran in Hank Lundy.
¿Qué piensas de tu oponente y cómo ves que esta pelea va estilísticamente??
JF: “Douglas is a prospect who has looked pretty good coming up. He wants to get to where I’ve been. He might be looking past me. I think that his style fits my style perfectly. I’m going to have openings and I just need to take advantage.
OD: Fortuna is a very decent and explosive fighter. He’s a former world champion and I expect him to stand up and get back what he thinks is his. He wants his rematch with Sosa and we are in each other’s way. He’s a frontrunner in the ring. He will try to start strong and I am prepared for whatever he brings to the table. Whether he boxes or fights me. I will make adjustments.
¿Qué tipo de problemas plantea tu oponente??
JF: The only problem that he will pose is if he doesn’t show up and fight. I’m ready for anything he can bring, so I hope he’s ready to give the fans a show.
OD: He moves well. I can’t let myself get off-balanced trying to chase him. He’s awkward but I know that my jab will neutralize his strengths.
What are you looking for in the future if you can get the win on November 12? What are your goals for 2017?
JF: I want to fight the best out there. My first choice is a rematch with Jason Sosa so that I can win my belt back. I’d love to fight Vasyl Lomachenko. I don’t think he’s fought a guy quite like me yet.
OD: “Quiero luchar por un título mundial. That’s the goal. He is a former champion who just lost his title and 2017 is my year to make a run for a title.
How have you improved as a fighter since your loss? Do you believe a win over Douglas proves you’re still one of the best in the division?
JF: I have learned a lot of things since I lost. My defense and my confidence in myself has improved. If I can beat a guy who is 22-0 and make it two wins over previously unbeaten fighters, then I think I’m right back in contention. He’s still considered a prospect so I think whoever wins will be a contender at the top of the division.
How does fighting in Philadelphia motivate you, having fought there in the amateurs and being from nearby Delaware?
OD: In the amateurs I was one of the only guys from Delaware. I had a lot of obstacles. I’ve been fighting against Philly’s best fighters for years. Philadelphia is where I achieved my first goals in the sport and it will always be special to me to fight in Philly.
¿Por qué crees que saldrás victorioso en la noche de la pelea??
JF: With the work that I’ve been putting in, I know that I will be ready on fight night. I’ve been through too much not to leave the ring victorious.
OD: I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life and I believe I am the hungrier fighter. He doesn’t want it as badly as I do. I’ve been waiting in the shadows for a long time. I have all the skills necessary to get the job done.

El entrenador de boxeo Orlando Cuellar vuelve al futuro en 5th St. Gimnasio

MIAMI (Octubre 26, 2016) — Entrenador de boxeo de renombre internacional Orlando Cuellar ha cerrado el círculo, de vuelta a los famosos 5º St. Gimnasio en South Beach, donde una vez visitó cuando era adolescente para aprender y ahora entrena a combatientes seis días a la semana.
Nacido en La Habana, Cuba, La familia de Cuellar se reasentó en Miami cuando él tenía tres años con Orlando viviendo allí hasta la escuela secundaria.. Como un boxeador amateur, Cuéllar recuerda vívidamente ver a los boxeadores en 5º St. Gimnasio como Cassius Clay, Willie Pastrano, Vinnie corto y Florentino Fernandez, así como entrenadores legendarios, hermanos Angelo y Chris Dundee.
“Miré y aprendí, recogiendo tanto como pude,” Cuéllar dijo. “Ahora, Me encuentro trabajando fuera del 5º St. Gimnasio durante las últimas seis semanas. Ha sido una experiencia increíble. Cada día, nunca se sabe quién va a pasar por las puertas allí. Ha sido uno de los mejores gimnasios de boxeo del mundo durante más de 50 año. Desde los días que se remontan a Muhammad Ali, Los luchadores se han sentido atraídos por este gimnasio debido a su rica historia y gran combate., así como a la zona con los restaurantes de South Beach, clubes y playa. La calidez, El clima húmedo también hace que sea más fácil para los luchadores perder peso corriendo y entrenando.
“(Propietario) Dino Spencer está llevando a cabo el 5º St. Tradición del gimnasio. Todos los días que estoy allí es emocionante para mí. Los grupos étnicos mixtos entrenan allí y es un imán para el talento. Hay entrenamiento tres días a la semana – Yo lo llamo spar-a-rama – y todos son bienvenidos a desafiarse a sí mismos. El sparring es mejor que muchas peleas televisivas..
“5º St. Entrenador de gimnasio Chico Laieta había estado tratando de convencerme de que me uniera al equipo durante los últimos cinco años. Hablé con Dino en varias ocasiones., expresando mi deseo de entrenar combatientes fuera del 5º St. Gimnasio. Él dijo, 'Vamos a hacerlo.’ El éxito de la 5º St. El gimnasio de hoy tiene mucho que ver con la propiedad. Dino tiene pasión por el box y es muy hospitalario., que se filtra a su personal y combatientes. Buenas vibraciones todo el tiempo!”
Cuellar se fue a Las Vegas en 1976 y, después de darse cuenta de que ser boxeador no era lo mejor para él, comenzó a entrenar luchadores allí en 1981 fuera del gimnasio de Johnny García. Un año después, cambió su base de Brooklyn y comenzó a entrenar luchadores de otro ícono del boxeo, Gimnasio Gleason. En 2000, se reasentó en Miami.
Mejor conocido como campeón mundial de peso semipesado, el entrenador en jefe de Glen Johnson, Cuellar también trabajó con futuros campeones como Nicolas Walters, Rances Barthelemy y Erslandy Lara, así como Luis Franco, Aaron Davis y Juan Carlos Gomez, por nombrar algunos de los más notables. Hoy, es el segundo en jefe de varios de los mejores luchadores, incluidos Antonio Tarver.
Reconocido en todo el boxeo como un maestro superior, El éxito de Cuellar se atribuye principalmente a su entrenamiento de luchadores de forma individual., centrarse en sus necesidades personales en lugar de dar a todos los combatientes las mismas instrucciones y atención.
“Cada luchador necesita un trabajo personal y específico para complementar los talentos que Dios le dio.,” Cuéllar explicó. “No puedes enseñar a todos los luchadores de la misma manera. Me especializo en lo que llamo la vieja escuela se encuentra con la nueva escuela.. La vieja escuela fue directa y personal para llevar 15 rondas, la nueva escuela se trata de lanzar más golpes, más movimiento de pies y peleas desde el exterior. Enseño ofensa: defensa + ofensa. Los ponches no son vitaminas, no se debe tomar ninguno. El boxeo es poco más que una batalla de reflejos; un luchador contra otro, pero el verdadero truco es cómo el luchador usa sus reflejos. Les enseño a mis combatientes cómo convertir el delantal del ring en un campo minado.”
El boxeo ha jugado un papel muy importante en la vida de Cuellar. Regreso en el 5º St. El gimnasio es solo otro capítulo en su vida única.
“Vivo a través de mis luchadores,” Cuellar concluyó. “Cada victoria es mi momento de mayor orgullo. No hay grandes ni pequeñas victorias, cada victoria es un momento feliz debido a todo el trabajo duro y los sacrificios que mi luchador y yo hicimos durante el campo de entrenamiento.”
Orlando Cuéllar está emocionado de haber vuelto al futuro.

Ed Williams, Nephew of Former World Champion Duane Thomas, Will Appear on Salita Promotions’ ‘Detroit Brawl’

Cuando era niño, watching his uncle, former WBC World Super Welterweight Champion Duane Thomas fight on TV, Detroit’s Ed Williams used to dream of becoming a boxer.
That’s where he and his mother disagreed.
I always wanted to box,” laughs Williams, “but my mother wouldn’t let me fight until I was older. My uncle even came and tried to sneak me to the gym a few times, but my mom would never let me. She just wouldn’t let me train.
When Williams turned 17, he was finally able to box and made the most of it, ir 57-9 as an amateur and winning two State Championships, the Ringside Nationals and two Detroit Golden Gloves before turning professional in 2007.
Williams won his first two fights before leaving boxing to obtain a B.Sc degree in Industrial Engineering at Eastern Michigan University. But after working in the field a few years, Williams felt the pull once again that he’d felt since childhood.
He wanted to be a boxer, full-time and give it a shot.
Ahora 27 años, y 12-1-1, 4 KOs as a Kronk Gym super welterweight, Williams will make his next ring appearing by once again appearing on a Salita Promotions “Pelea de Detroit” evento, this one on Sábado, Noviembre 12, at the Masonic Temple against an opponent that will be announced shortly.
It feels great to fight in Detroit,” él dijo. “You get support from friends and family and I’m even growing a new fan base.
Sponsored by Thomas Magee’s Sporting House Whiskey Bar, entradas para “Pelea de Detroit” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, Primera fila $93, $63, $38, y $28 and available at all Ticketmaster outlets andTicketmaster.com.
My goal in boxing,” dijo Williams, “is to become the second guy in my family to win a world title. Ahora mismo, I want to have the right fights to have that opportunity. I’ve been progressing and having challenging fights and getting good opportunities, so things are going well.
Williams is, admittedly, not your typical fighter.
I have a boxing style that is awkward. It’s not a traditional style at all. I fight with an off-beat tempo that throws you off. And I’m tall and long, so I box you and use my jab and then I set up shots.
While Williams says he has no regrets with his decision to pursue fighting, someone in the family does have a few
My mom now says she wishes she would have let me do it sooner. But I understand. She didn’t want me to get hurt and was just being protective. Now she’s my biggest fan.
Más peleas, Los oponentes y las rondas se anunciarán en breve.. En la noche del combate, puertas se abren a las 5:00 pm y las peleas comienzan a las 6:00 pm.

Lee Baxter Promotions Card Postponed; McGuinness and Miljas to fight October 28

 

Toronto, Ontario, Canadá (Octubre 25, 2016) – Due to unforeseen circumstances, Lee Baxter Promotions’ card scheduled for Jueves evening at the Powerade Center in Brampton, Ontario has been postponed until further notice.

Two of Baxter’s fighters scheduled to appear on that card, 130 pound contender Logan “Cotton” McGuinness and heavyweight prospect Mladen “Monster” Miljas, will now fight Octubre 28 at the Deerfoot Inn & Casino in Calgary, Alberta, Canadá.

A former NABA champion at 126, 130 y 135 libra, McGuinness signed with Lee Baxter Promotions in July. McGuinness, 23-0-1 (10 Nocáuts), is fighting for the first since May 2015 and meets Noel Rincon, 18-9-1 (10 Nocáuts), of Mexico over eight rounds. Con una victoria, the 29-year-old Ontario native hopes to get back in the mix.

Known as “Monster” due to his crushing power and impressive physical stature, Miljas looks to go 2-0 as a pro when he challenges Mexican Adrian Garcia, 1-1 (1 KO), en un cuatro redondo.

“”I’m glad I was able to keep Logan and Mladen fighting even after our card was postponed,” said Lee Baxter. “The card will be rescheduled in the near future but in the meantime it’s important to keep my fighters busy. Logan’s been very sharp in training and Mladen has the look of a good heavyweight prospect based on what we saw in his pro debut.”

Baxter, who is growing his stable of talented boxers, also looks forward to the career changing opportunity his fighter Samuel Vargas has when he faces unbeaten Danny GarciaNoviembre 12.

“We’ve got a lot of nice things on the horizon and I believe that Sammy is going to surprise a lot of people. His trainers know everything there is to be known about Garcia and Team Vargas was thrilled when we heard he accepted the fight.

I’ve also got Kane Heron returning from a few lingering injuries and he’ll be back by the end of the year. He is a truly special talent and one of boxing’s best kept secrets. Most importantly, we will continue to grow and invest in our fighters while providing quality events in Canada.”
