The telecasts will also be available via the SHOWTIME streaming service and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.



The fierce Mexican rivals squared off in three consecutive award-winning fights which aired live on SHOWTIME in 2007 і 2008 before meeting for a fourth and final time in 2010. The first three bouts were all contested with the WBC Super Bantamweight World Championship on the line.



Described by the network’s Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood as, "Вибух художнього жорстокості,” Vázquez-Márquez I was a unanimous selection for 2007 Fight of the Year and left the fans and fighters clamouring for a rematch. The two warriors delivered yet again in their second meeting just five months later in another bloody slugfest that produced a Round of the Year winner and a result that demanded a rubber match. Vázquez-Márquez III, оскаржується тільки 363 днів з моменту їх першої зустрічі, was the only match in the rivalry to go the distance and was named the 2008 Бій року.



During Saturday night’s re-airing of the trilogy, combat sports analysts Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell will host a live episode of the duo’s popular digital talk show, MORNING KOMBAT WITH LUKE THOMAS AND BRIAN CAMPBELL на Morning Kombat YouTube Channel. Thomas and Campbell will watch and react to the fights in real time and conduct a Q&A session with fans.

“We all knew the first fight would be great, and it more than lived up to expectations,” said Bernstein, who called all four fights. “The second fight was exciting, and when fight three came, I didn’t think they could top Nos. 1 і 2, but they did just that. It’s one of the top five fights I’ve ever announced or seen. The ebb and flow was tremendous, and you almost felt it didn’t matter who ended up getting the decision because they both had been so great. I can’t admire two boxers more than these two men.”



Fans new to SHOWTIME® who sign up through the recently announced 30-day free trial before May 3 can watch these fights, the network’s original series, documentaries, specials and movies online via the SHOWTIME streaming service on SHOWTIME.com or the SHOWTIME app, available on all supported devices.

We have a deep library of documentaries and we are definitely surfacing a lot more of the archive bothНА ВИМОГУ and we will look at it on linear more regularly.”

On what lies ahead when boxing resumes…

Espinoza – “It’s going to be a wild ride. There’s a lot to be made up. There are a lot of fighters that need fights to happen, and I think we could be in for a pretty interesting period of time where there’s a lot of activity in a relatively short windowI think we’re going to see an action-packed, jam-packed schedule whenever we return, whether it’s in three, six or nine months – and we may see people taking a different tact on taking fights.”

On what fight you wish you could go back in time to attend live …

Espinoza – “Chavez vs. Haugen on February 20,1993 for the WBC Light Welterweight Title at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City… It wasn’t a great fight or great opponent but it’s my pick because of the legendary status that fight has within Showtime’s hallways. Там були 132,000 люди в відвідуваності, you had Chavez taking the presidential helicopter to events [і] you had Don King getting robbed on his way from the airport to the hotel as soon he got into town. There were so many things around the atmosphere. It was one of those legendary events I would’ve loved to be at for the atmosphere.”

Непереможний Міккуан Вільямс залишається у боксерській формі, наскільки це можливо в умовах пандемії

МАНЧЕСТЕР, Коннектикут. (Березня 23, 2020) – Як і більшість професійних боксерів, непереможна суперлегка вагова перспектива«Чудовий» Міккуан Вільямс (15-0-1, 7 КО) витягує максимум із складної ситуації, коли він готується до свого невідомого майбутнього в боксі.

Коронавірус зупинив бокс у всьому світі. Події призупинено на невизначений термін, боксери обмежені в термінах підготовки, і найближче майбутнє залишається в кращому випадку незначним.

Неможливо тренуватися у своєму спортзалі, Манчестер РОКІВ, яка закрита через розпорядження штату Коннектикут, 21-річний Вільямс справляється з цією пандемією зріло, що суперечить його молодості. Без ниття, немає почуттів «бідний я».

«Це важкий час для всіх, включно з нами в боксі,Іст Гартфорд (Коннектикут) - сказав житель Вільямс. «По телевізору боксу немає, ніхто не може конкурувати, і всі ізольовані. Це просто прикро, але я краще буду в безпеці, ніж шкодую. Турбота про здоров’я є і завжди має бути головним пріоритетом».

Вільямс не виходив на поле з 24 жовтня минулого року, коли він бився до сумнівної нічиї у восьмому раундіТре’Шон Віггінс, в якому Вільямс зберіг свою Всесвітню боксерську раду (WBC) США (USNBC) надлегка назва. Більшість спостерігачів вважали, що Вільямс заслужила перемогу рішенням суддів.

З поч 2020, Вільямс готувався до очікуваного бою в першій третині року, і він все ще тренується, щоб залишатися у формі, хоча це не так, якби він мав підтверджену дату бою.

«Я все ще трохи тренуюся,– пояснив Вільямс. «Мені потрібно залишатися у формі, коли прийде виклик після повернення боксу. Я в пристойній формі і коли отримаю дату наступного бою, Мені не доведеться йти з нуля, щоб підготуватися. Я хочу зберегти 50 для 60 відсоткової форми, а потім завершити тренування за розкладом для мого наступного бою».

«Я знаю, що Майкі все ще бігає,Головний тренер ВільямсаПол Сішон додано. «Незабаром ми повернемося до тренувань. Я вірю, що все відбувається з причини. Ми з Майкі провели телефонну конференцію (менеджер) Джекі Каллен і (промоутер) Лу Дібелла, і ми віримо в це, якнайшвидше, Майкі повернеться до строю».

Тому що Вільямс не повертається 22 до квітня цього року 6, на додаток до того, що вже майже чотири роки є професійним боксером, його молода боксерська кар'єра відновиться швидше та сильніше, ніж у багатьох старших боксерів. Втрата шести місяців не повинна заважати такій перспективі, як Вільямс, як ветерану, який може не мати майже стільки ж порівняльної якості, що залишилося на рингу..

«Я не впевнений, чи є вік такою великою перевагою,– заперечив Вільямс. «Якби деякі бійці вигоряли, тому що вони багато билися, брати відпустку, через вірус чи ні, перерва може допомогти їм повернутися кращими та сильнішими, ніж коли вони востаннє билися».

Вільямс був п'ятиразовим національним чемпіоном серед любителів, компіляції 45-13 любительські записи, підкреслюється трьома титулами чемпіона світу біля рингу, на додаток до золотих медалей на Національному чемпіонаті PAL та Національному чемпіонаті Silver Gloves.

«Я не знаю, коли повернеться бокс,– підсумував Вільямс, «Але бокс ніколи не помре. Люди завжди хочуть бачити, як хлопці б'ють один одного в обличчя. Бокс — це вид спорту з багатими традиціями, прямо зараз, попереду ще багато талантів».

І Міккуан Вільямс буде прямо на чолі наступної хвилі, коли заборону на бокс нарешті буде скасовано.

Піднесення фітнесу до цифрової ери

по: Що Андз

WhatsApp пінг 10:00 ... ”Привіт, це твій тренажерний зал, через коронавірус тренажерний зал був закритий до подальшого повідомлення ".

Якщо ти такий, як я, і вам потрібен цей бігун, щоб тримати своє тіло і розум в руці, тоді вищезгадане повідомлення було сценарієм Судного дня. Забудьте про туалетний папір, Мені потрібні свої гирі!

Це для мене, відвідувач спортзалу…як щодо персональних тренерів, бійці ММА, борці, боксери, які заробляють на життя на всьому, до чого Covid-19 змушує нас не робити?

Ці професії не можуть бути “необхідною послугою”, як водії швидкої допомоги та супермаркети, але ці професіонали є важливою послугою на майбутні дні для розуму, тіло, і душа кожного, особливо під час епідемії з кожним днем ​​стають все більш важливими, навіть по годинах.

Хороша новина…цифрове спілкування фізичних мистецтв - НЕ нова річ. Відео для тренувань, боротьба та боротьба з ММА були оцифровані, починаючи з телевізійних роликів, YouTube і майже в будь-якому місці, де ви можете знайти екран.

Перший крок - це запитати себе, як ви пропонували свої послуги дотепер?

Зараз, Ви можете повторити це перед камерою? 

Зараз, Ви можете користуватися комп’ютером і розміщувати речі на сайті членства?
(заціни HTTPS://www.capterra.com/sem-compare/membership-management-software)

Привіт! Ви отримали бізнес!

Майже будь-яка послуга на основі освіти, навіть фізичне можна оцифрувати та представити. Чи не, це не буде так добре, як реальні речі, і ні, Ви не можете очікувати, що ваші клієнти матимуть обладнання, яке робить тренажерний зал…

…Але ось хитра частина і ось різниця між успішною кампанією та такою, яка не ...

Перше, що слід зрозуміти, це, люди заплатять за вартість, особливо в цю епоху, коли витрати повинні бути зроблені добре. Тож давайте зробимо це добре

Варіант А: Тон знижений. Обладнання переважно недоступне, так що змініть програму тренувань, щоб не потребувати цих вигадливих творів. Запитайте себе, що ви можете поміняти або вимкнути рутину і все одно отримати той ефект, якого шукаєте?

Східного майстра можна замінити сходами, гирі можна замінити камінням (обережно).

Якщо ви робите свої навчальні відеоролики за допомогою цього приглушеного обладнання, зробити це те, що може зробити кожен, на будь-який бюджет, ви отримали собі переможця.

Це також можливість поєднати в інших послугах, які працюють разом, таких як харчування під час ізоляції. Нескінченний рівень можливостей, можливо навіть більше, ніж звичайно.

Варіант Б: Апсел – Люди не мають цього обладнання, чому б їм не дістатися. Всі магазини страждають. Зверніться до цих магазинів і фабрик і укладіть угоду, яка допоможе полегшити продажі для них.

У свою чергу, ви рекламуєте спеціальну пропозицію зі знижкою на найкраще обладнання. Увесь час ви починаєте заробляти комісійні бали за ці продажі. Справжній безпрограшний варіант для всіх. Якщо вам потрібна допомога з цифровим маркетингом, поспілкуватися з цими хлопцями.

Майте на увазі свою аудиторію, його демографічні показники та як він продається.

Я знаю, що це новітні типи маркетингових тактик для відвідувачів простого тренажерного залу, це час, коли ми маємо навчитися пристосовуватися та змінюватися…або зникнути.

40ї anniversary of tragic airplane crash in Poland

22 members of Team USA Boxing perished

Колорадо-Спрінгс, Коло. (Березня 14, 2020) – One of the darkest days in American sports history occurred 40 years ago today, when Polish Airlines flight #7 that had departed John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City crashed a half-mile from Okecie Airport in Warsaw, Польща.
 
Всі 87 passengers died, у тому числі 14 boxers and eight officials on the USA Boxing team, due to a disintegration of a turbine disc in one of the plane’s engines that ultimately failed.
 
Team USA was traveling to Poland to compete in two international amateur boxing dual events. The average age of the 14 boxers was only 20 ½, ranging from 27-year-old Walter Harris to 16-year-old Byron Payton.
 
The potential Olympic dreams of the 14 boxers were destroyed in the horrific accident. Although most of the boxers were still in their developmental stage, outside of prospective medal challenger Lemuel Steeples, each member aspired to represent the United States in the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. (The United States eventually led a boycott of the 1980 Olympics because of the Soviet-Afghan War.)
 
I remember coming home from my boxing gym on March 14, 1980 and hearing the news of the plane crash on the evening news,” stated USA Boxing Executive Director Mike McAtee.
 
As an aspiring Olympic-style boxer I was shocked and felt a sense of loss like every American boxer, coach and official. Today we are reminded that life is precious, and every day is a blessing. On behalf of USA Boxing’s Board of Directors, 48,000 боксери, coaches and officials and the national office staff we remember the 1980 USA Boxing Team Members and Staff. Please keep them, their families and the worldwide Olympic-style boxing family in your thoughts and prayers.
 
Down But Not OutLost But Not Forgotten

USA Boxing Head Coach Billy Walsh remembers the crash to this day. “I remember it well, as I was a 16-year-old dreaming of the Olympics,” said Walsh. “It was massive news in Europe, a big tragedy with some of the world’s best boxers and staff wiped out. We lost a generation of great fighters, and most importantly loved ones.
 
Patricia Chavis was only seven years old when she learned her father, Sgt. Elliott Chavis, had perished in the crash. She was playing outdoors with friends when she noticed a lot of people crying as they entered and left her home. Her mother called her inside, sat her down with people watching, and said that her father wasn’t coming back because he had been killed in a plane crash.
 
She asked me if I understood and I did, because we had recently lost my great grandmother and paternal grandfather,” an emotional Patricia explained. “I went back outside and told my friends. They were a little older and they didn’t understand why I hadn’t stayed inside with family. It didn’t really hit me that my dad wasn’t coming home until my teenage years. I remember sitting in bed and writing letters to him.
 
Every year still affects me every March. We usually have a family dinner with my mom and grandchildren. They listen to stories about a man they never met. He’s buried in South Carolina and we’ve laid flowers on his grave. Every year on March 14ї it brings back memories and we celebrate his life.
 
Sgt. Chavis, who died at the age of 25, was stationed at Ft. Bragg (Н.З.), where he learned to box. Він був членом 118ї Military Police Company and during his boxing career, the light heavyweight was All-Army and All-Southeastern.
 
My parents married young,” Patricia continued. “My mom told me he was always athletic. He played football and was a pole vaulter on the track team in high school. But I didn’t know anything about his boxing until we went to a reunion at Ft. Bragg. Around the 30ї anniversary I got in touch with some of his Army buddies when I saw on Facebook that they were having a reunion. I went there with my mom and listened to stories they told me about his boxing career. I found it so interesting because I hadn’t known about that. There are quite a few memorials I’ve seen on Facebook and I try to get in touch with other family members (of her father’s teammates who died in the crash). We’ll never forget!”

HINCKLEY, Minn. – March 14, 2020 - Undefeated 20-year-old super lightweight prospect Brandun Lee continued the impressive start to his career by scoring a third-round TKO over 33-year-old challenger Camilo Prieto in the ShoBox: Нове покоління main event Friday night from Hinckley Grand Casino in Hinckley, Від.



The knockout artist Lee, who had stopped 16 його першого 18 professional opponents, eased into Friday’s main event, seeking to take his time and add more rounds to his resume. But after just two rounds, Укриття (19-0, 17 КО) stunned the mobile but overly defensive Prieto (15-3, 10 КО) with a combination. Lee sensed he had injured his opponent and turned on the jets, scoring the TKO after unleashing a multi-punch barrage against the defenseless and against-the-ropes Prieto.



In a night where the four bouts were contested solely in front of the fighters’ friends and family, referee Mark Nelson intervened to stop the main event at the 2:34 mark of round number three. The numbers reflected the lopsidedness of the fight as Lee led 53-9 in overall punches landed, 17-8 in jabs connected and 36-1 on power shots. Lee landed more power shots in the fight (36) than Prieto attempted (34).



“I don’t think this was any kind of learning experience for Lee,” said SHOWTIME’s Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. “He needs tougher, more accomplished opponents who can at least give him rounds, if not a competitive fight.”



“I shouldn’t have gone three rounds with that guy,- сказав Лі, who was fighting on ShoBox for the second time. “I should have gotten him out of there in 40 seconds or a minute tops. But the guy had a game plan and his coach is a former world champion [Глен Джонсон] who knew I hadn’t ever been past the fourth round. He was just trying to tire me out. No one wants to watch two guys looking at each other. My defense was a nine out of 10 сьогодні ввечері. But overall I give myself a C-minus. I want to take it to the next level and I’m just super grateful to SHOWTIME and ShoBox for giving me these opportunities.”



У со-бій ознаками, an all-action affair between undefeated prospect Brian Norman, Молодший. (17-0, 14 КО) and Flavio Rodriguez (9-2-1, 7 КО) was cut short after an accidental headbutt caused a deep vertical laceration on the forehead of Rodriguez. At the advice of the ringside physician, referee Gary Miezwa stopped the fight at 57 seconds of round number seven. The fight went to the judges’ scorecards with the technical unanimous decision going in Norman’s favor, 69-64 і 68-65 двічі.



Norman broke open a competitive fight by out-landing Rodriguez 79-35 в цілому і 73-20 in power punches in rounds five through seven, a reflection of Norman’s superior activity (72.4 punches per round to Rodriguez’s 54.4), accuracy (33%-29% в цілому, 44%-32% потужність) and body punching (67-50 in connects).



The 19-year-old Norman, who turned pro at the age of 17 and is trained by his father and former pro fighter Brian Norman Sr., showed the skills that give him the reputation of a highly-regarded prospect, but still left the fight feeling unsatisfied.



“That headbutt was right before the knockout,” said Norman. “I’m pretty sure everybody saw it. That boy was dead but I give him respect. I believe that seventh round was the knockout round, either by TKO or knockout. I had him dead the round before and drained all the energy out of him.”



“I know I won more rounds than that,” said the 29-year-old Rodriguez, who also feels a knockout was imminent, but in his favor. “I definitely know I won more rounds. I was hitting him with power shots and if we didn’t have that accidental headbutt I felt I could have gotten him out of there.”



У другому бою на чотири бої телепередачі, undefeated lightweight prospect Alejandro “Pork Chop” Guerrero (12-0, 9 КО) won a closely-contested slugfest via majority decision over Jose Angulo (12-2, 5 КО). Судді забив бій 76-76, 79-73 і 78-74.



In the highly entertaining fight that pitted the aggressive Guerrero against the counter-punching Angulo, two of the judges were seemingly impressed more by Guerrero’s aggression and slightly better power punching (він вів 109-104 in power punch connects) than by Angulo’s activity (89.3 punches per round to Guerrero’s 68.9), mobility and diverse combination punching.



With both men going past six rounds for the first time in their careers, it was Guerrero who was able to finish with more energy. He hurt Angulo with a strong right hand in the sixth round and nearly closed the show late in the eighth and final round, but the Ecuadorian who was making his U.S. debut was able to stay on his feet.



“That was probably the toughest fight I’ve had,” said the 22-year-old Guerrero. “I’ve fought at 140 before so his punch power wasn’t too much. Just his heart; you can tell when a fighter has heart and they just want to sit there and bang it out. I didn’t think it was an even fight. I was landing the better shots and I was the better man out there. I gave myself a seven. I can do way better. I just need more conditioning. Whoever’s next, I’ll take on the best in my weight division.”



In a battle of unbeaten featherweights making their ShoBox дебюти в телепередачі ніж, Armenian Olympian Aram Avagyan (10-0-1, 4 КО) overcame knockdowns in both the first and second rounds to earn a hard-fought majority decision over Dominican Republic’s Dagoberto Aguero (15-1, 10 КО). Судді забив бій 75-75, 76-74 і 77-74.



For the second consecutive fight, Авагян, who is trained by SugarHill Steward at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit, started slow and was knocked down in the first round. The 29-year-old also hit the canvas in round two when Aguero connected on a chopping overhand right. Starting in the third round, through an impressive body attack (98-42 in connects), better power accuracy (39%-35%) and his ability to induce a rugged inside fight, Avagyan was able to gradually empty the gas tank of Aguero, who had never been past six rounds.



A heavy right cross appeared to score a knockdown of Aguero in the seventh, but referee Gary Ritter ruled it a slip. Aguero led 55-24 in overall connects and 55-20 in power punches landed after two rounds, but Avagyan came on strong in rounds six through eight (83-44 в цілому, 80-48 потужність) to score the comeback victory. Aguero became the 192ї fighter to lose their undefeated record on ShoBox.



“After the second knockdown I just knew I needed to settle down and it would be okay,»Сказав Авагян. “I had to just come back strong and keep applying the pressure and I did that. The knockdowns were big on points so I knew it would be tough to come back. I thought the performance was just okay. I can show more, and I will in the future.”
