The former champion Fortuna and the unbeaten Douglas will meet in a 50-50 fight that could put the winner in a position to fight for a world title soon. Fortuna is known for his aggressive style while Douglas looks to impress against his toughest opponent to date.
Ecco ciò che i combattenti avevano da dire su campo di addestramento, each other and more:
How has training camp gone for this fight?
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: “La formazione sta andando molto bene. 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. Olimpionico) Gary Antuanne Russell and a veteran in Hank Lundy.”
What do you think of your opponent and how do you see this fight going stylistically?
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.”
What kind of problems does your opponent pose?
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: “Voglio lottare per un titolo mondiale. 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.”
Why do you believe you’ll be victorious on fight night?
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.”

Boxe allenatore Orlando Cuellar va Ritorno al futuro in 5th St. Palestra

MIAMI (Ottobre 26, 2016) — Di fama internazionale allenatore di boxe Orlando Cuellar Has Come cerchio completo, a destra di nuovo al famoso 5th St. Gym a South Beach, dove ha visitato una volta come un adolescente per imparare e ora allena combattenti su sei giorni alla settimana.
Nato a L'Avana, Cuba, La famiglia di Cuellar reinsediati a Miami quando aveva tre anni, con Orlando vivere lì attraverso la scuola superiore. Come un pugile dilettante, Cuellar ricorda vividamente guardare pugili a 5th St. Gym quali Cassius Clay, Willie Pastrano, Vinnie breve e Florentino Fernandez, così come formatori leggendari, fratelli Angelo e Chris Dundee.
“Ho guardato e imparato, raccogliendo quanto più possibile,” Cuellar ha detto. “Ora, Mi ritrovo a lavorare fuori dal 5th St. Palestra per le ultime sei settimane. E 'stata un'esperienza incredibile. Ogni giorno, non si sa mai chi sta per camminare attraverso le porte lì. E 'stata una delle migliori palestre di pugilato in tutto il mondo per più di 50 anni. Dai tempi risalenti Muhammad Ali, combattenti sono stati attratti da questa palestra a causa della sua ricca storia e la grande sparring, così come per l'area con ristoranti di South Beach, club e la spiaggia. la calda, tempo umido rende anche più facile per i combattenti per perdere peso in esecuzione e la formazione.
“(Proprietario) Dino Spencer sta portando sulla 5th St. tradizione Gym. Ogni giorno ci sono è emozionante per me. gruppi etnici misti treno ed è una calamita per i talenti. C'è sparring tre giorni alla settimana – Io lo chiamo Spar-A-Rama – e benvenuto a tutti di sfidare se stessi. Lo sparring è meglio di un sacco di scontri televisivi.
“5th St. allenatore di ginnastica Guy Laieta aveva cercato di convincermi a far parte del team per gli ultimi cinque anni. Ho parlato con Dino in diverse occasioni, esprimere il mio desiderio di addestrare combattenti fuori dal 5th St. Palestra. Lui ha detto, 'Facciamolo.’ Il successo del 5th St. Palestra oggi ha molto a che fare con la proprietà. Dino ha una passione per la boxe e lui è molto ospitale, che scivola verso il basso per il suo staff e combattenti. Buone vibrazioni per tutto il tempo!”
Cuellar partito per Las Vegas nel 1976 e, dopo essersi reso conto che essere un pugile non era nel suo interesse, ha iniziato la formazione di combattenti là in 1981 fuori della palestra Johnny Garcia. Un anno dopo, ha spostato la sua base di Brooklyn e ha iniziato i combattenti di formazione di un'altra icona della boxe, Palestra Gleason. In 2000, ha reinsediato a Miami.
Meglio conosciuto come campione del mondo dei pesi massimi leggeri l'allenatore capo della Glen Johnson, Cuellar ha lavorato anche con i futuri campioni quali Nicolas Walters, Rances Barthelemy e Erslandy Lara, così come Luis Franco, Aaron Davis e Juan Carlos Gomez, per citarne alcuni dei più notabili. Oggi, lui è il capo secondo per diversi combattenti top tra cui Antonio Tarver.
Riconosciuto in tutta la boxe come insegnante superiore, Il successo di Cuellar è in gran parte attribuita alla sua formazione di combattenti su base individuale, incentrate sulle loro esigenze personali piuttosto che dare tutti i combattenti le stesse istruzioni e l'attenzione.
“Ogni combattente ha bisogno di lavoro personale e specifico per completare i loro talenti ricevuti da Dio,” Cuellar ha spiegato. “Non si può insegnare tutti i combattenti allo stesso modo. Sono specializzato in quello che io chiamo vecchia scuola incontra nuova scuola. Vecchia scuola era in anticipo e personale di andare 15 round, nuova scuola è di gettare più pugni, più movimento del piede e la lotta dall'esterno. Insegno doffense: difesa + offesa. Punzoni non sono le vitamine, Nessuno dovrebbe essere presa. La boxe è poco più di una battaglia di riflessi; uno combattenti contro un altro, ma il vero trucco è come il combattente usa i suoi riflessi. Io insegno ai miei combattenti come trasformare ring in un campo minato.”
Boxe ha giocato un ruolo enorme nella vita di Cuellar. Back in the 5th St. Gym è solo un altro capitolo della sua vita unica.
“Vivo con i miei combattenti,” Cuellar ha concluso. “Ogni vittoria è il mio momento più orgoglioso. Non ci sono grandi o piccole vittorie, ogni vittoria è un momento a causa di tutto il duro lavoro e sacrifici me e la mia caccia fatto durante il training camp felice.”
Orlando Cuellar è entusiasta di essere andato ritorno al futuro.

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

Lascia un commento
Come un bambino, 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, andando 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.
Ora 27 anni, e 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 “Detroit Brawl” evento, this one on Sabato, Novembre 12, at the Masonic Temple against an opponent that will be announced shortly.
“It feels great to fight in Detroit,” lui ha detto. “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, biglietti per “Detroit Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, Ringside $93, $63, $38, e $28 and available at all Ticketmaster outlets andTicketmaster.com.
“My goal in boxing,” ha detto Williams, “is to become the second guy in my family to win a world title. Ora, 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.”
Altri combattimenti, avversari e turni verranno annunciati a breve. Nella notte di lotta, porte aperte a 5:00 pm and the fights begin at 6:00 pm.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Ottobre 25, 2016) – Due to unforeseen circumstances, Lee Baxter Promotions’ card scheduled for Giovedi 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 Ottobre 28 at the Deerfoot Inn & Casino in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

A former NABA champion at 126, 130 e 135 libbre, McGuinness signed with Lee Baxter Promotions in July. McGuinness, 23-0-1 (10 KO), is fighting for the first since May 2015 and meets Noel Rincon, 18-9-1 (10 KO), of Mexico over eight rounds. With a victory, 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), in a four rounder.

“”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 GarciaNovembre 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. Più importante, we will continue to grow and invest in our fighters while providing quality events in Canada.”
