TUCSON, Arizona (Novembro 9, 2019) – Heavy-handed California heavyweight Alexander “O grande” Flores returned to the ring last Thursday night with a vengeance, nocauteando Mario “Chabelo” Heredia in the sixth round of the RJJ Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS main event, outdoors Casino Del Sol’s AVA Amphitheater in Tucson, Arizona.

RJJ Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS was streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS,serviço de subscrição do mundo líder digital para esportes de combate.

Flores, de 29 anos (18-2-1, 16 KOs) hadn’t fought since last December in New Zealand, when he lost a controversial fight to former world champion Joseph Parker, em que Parker atingiu Flores várias vezes abaixo da cintura, levando a um nocaute.

Knockout-artist Flores floored his Mexican opponent, Heredia, three times during their fight in the third, fifth and the finisher in the sixth. Flores, who is a former World Boxing Council (WBC) Campeão mundial juvenil, used a vicious body attack, resulting in the last two knockdowns, against the 282-pound Heredia (16-8-1, 13 KOs).

Flores’ only two losses have been to world champions Parker and Charles Martin. Heredia, a former WBC FECOMBOX champion, who only three fights ago won a split decision over former WBC heavyweight world champion and Nigerian Olympian Samuel Peter.

No evento co-featured, red-hot Mexican welterweight Santiago Dominguez (20-0, 16 KOs) blasted Ravshan Hudayhazarov (17-3, 13 KOs), the Uzbekistan fighter, stopping him only 43-seconds into the opening round in a devastating performance.

In his RJJ Boxing Promotions debut, undefeated California super middleweight Juan “Apenas negócios” Barajas (11-0, 7 KOs) pitched a complete shutout victory, winning each round on all three-judges’ scorecards, in a unanimous decision over Phoenix veteran Fidel Hernandez (20-8-1, 11 KOs), who announced before the fight that this would be his last.

Juan Barajas (R) is a sharpshooter

In the UFC FIGHT PASS opener, unbeaten Tucson welterweight Christopher Gonzalez (6-0-1, 1 KO) pulled off a mild upset, taking an eight-round unanimous decision from Marcos “Nazzy” Dominguez (11-2-1, 10 KOs), the younger brother of Santiago.

GERVONTA DAVIS AND BADOU JACK DISCUSS UPCOMING DECEMBER 28 MATCHUPSDavis To Face Yuriorkis Gamboa For WBA Lightweight World Championship While Jack Challenges WBA Light Heavyweight Titlist Jean Pascal Live On SHOWTIME® From State Farm Arena In Atlanta

O QUÊ: Gervonta Davis e Badou Jack met with members of the media last Saturday in Las Vegas to discuss their upcoming matchups taking place Saturday, Dezembro 28 live on SHOWTIME at the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in a special year-end Premier Boxing Champions event.

Two-time super featherweight champion Davis will take on former unified world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa for the WBA Lightweight World Championship as the 24-year-old Davis looks to conquer another division. In the co-main event of a special holiday SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® televisionar, former two-division champion Jack will challenge WBA Light Heavyweight World Champion Jean Pascal.

Os ingressos para o evento, que é promovido pela Mayweather Promotions, Promoções GTD e Promoções TGB, are available through Ticketmaster.com.

Also participating in Saturday’s luncheon at Wolfgang Puck at MGM Grand were Leonard Ellerbe, CEO de Promoções Mayweather, and Stephen Espinoza, Presidente, Esportes & Programação de eventos, Showtime Networks Inc.

Here’s what the fighters and executives had to say:

GERVONTA DAVIS:
Thoughts about Gamboa and moving up in weight:
We know Gamboa is a veteran and that he’s had a lot of wars, so we know we have a tough fight. He’s definitely dangerous. He can hit. Ele pode lutar.

His last fight he made 134, so we know he can get bigger than me at that weight. I’m going into this knowing he’s a bigger fighter than me. I’m just going to bring my power and capitalize on that weight class and becoming world champion.

I believe I’m one of the top fighters in the world, but I don’t compare myself to other fighters. I just go out and get the job done.

Atlanta is my second home. I’m confident I’ll sell it out.

On his ability and uniqueness as a fighter:
I come from a different cloth than these other guys. I’ve been through everything in my life. A lot of people haven’t experienced what I have. If I ever get beat it would have to be by someone who’s been through what I have been through. It can’t be anyone who’s just been training all their life.

Every time I step in the ring I’m willing to leave it all in there. A lot of people haven’t seen my full skills because I haven’t fought an opponent that has brought them out.

On his potential in the sport:
The boxing world hasn’t seen my true potential as a fighter, they’ve just seen my power. I’m the type of boxer where if you don’t belong in there with me, you won’t be in there too long. Some fighters like to take their time. I’m the type, if I know you’re not on my level, I’m going to show it. The world will see. I’ll fight anybody.

JACK Badou:
On his upcoming matchup against Pascal:
“Estou animado para essa luta. I actually called Pascal the day before his last fight and let him know I was rooting for him. But this is business at the end of the day. I’m coming to take back my title.

On how he feels at this age:
I feel like a young 36 anos. I live a clean life. I’m always in the gym training and I try not to take any punishment. I have a couple of years left and I’m more motivated now than ever. I needed that little break. I hadn’t had a break since I was an amateur twenty years ago. I took time to relax with the family and eat good food. Now I’m hungry.

On his last performance against Marcus Browne:
Everyone who saw me in my last fight could see I was flat. My fighting instinct kicked in at that point. He was fighting a dead man.

On the Davis vs. Gamboa matchup:
“É uma grande luta. Gamboa is a little older, but he looked good in his last fight. I’m a big, big fan of Tankthe way he fights, his speed, sua capacidade atlética, tudo. He has star power. He was on my undercard, now I’m on his. He’s going to bring great things to the sport and as long as he stays focused, he’s going to be a superstar. He’s already a superstar.

LEONARD Ellerbe:
On Davisposition and progression in the sport:
We’re going to show everyone how he’s going to become the biggest star in the sport. Em 2020 we’re going to blow this out of the water. We’ve been able to think outside the box. That’s how you grow the sport. We’ve made a concerted effort to cross him over to the mainstream; working with the Baltimore Ravens, his parade, now Atlanta.

Our plan is to make the biggest and best fights out there. We’re going to call the shots and it’s going to be on our terms, and we’ll let everyone know when that happens. Everyone wants to fight Tank. There’s one common thing when you talk about 126, 130, 135, e agora 140. There’s one name that’s common among the fighters and that’s Tank. This is going to be a great journey and you better get on it now.

If he can get past Gamboa on December 28, then in 2020 he’s going into that pay-per-view world. When you have that kind of star power and you’re thinking outside of the box, not just boxing fans, we’re going to make the biggest fights out there in the world.

On Badou Jack:
Badou’s a promoter’s dream. He’s a guy who gives you no problems. He’s out there doing wonderful things for himself and his family. He’s doing so much to help so many others. He’s using his platform in the right way. It’s an honor to work with a fighter like him.

I always knew he was a great talent and sometimes you can find the diamonds in the rough. Everyone’s always looking at the guys coming out of the Olympics. We saw him in the gym and he really messed a guy up. We had an eye on him and we worked out a deal with Lou [DiBella] and the rest is history.

We had one setback, but everything happens for a reason, and he’s just taken off since. He’s a great fighter and I like the fact that he’s always willing to fight the best. Never had to second guess that he’s willing to fight everybody.

STEPHEN ESPINOZA:
There are advantages and disadvantages to promoting a show on this date. There has been a lot of success promoting music shows on that weekend. It’s not apples to apples, but it’s one of the factors that went in and there’s a way to turn this into something special and unique because of Gervonta’s fan base.

It’s great to have skilled boxers but we need, for the health of the sport, guys like Gervonta who are putting butts in the seats. That’s the key in bringing him to Atlanta. Boxing is a part of a culture that crosses over into music and sports. There’s not an athlete who doesn’t watch a pay-per-view boxing match. Tapping into that with a personality like Tank is only going to expand the sport.

There’s an authenticity and an openness about Gervonta. There’s a lot of people who’ve had setbacks who don’t talk about it, like Tank. It takes a risk to talk about that and that’s why a lot of people can relate. This is Tank. What you see is what you get. It’s very real. It’s very authentic and I think that’s why people connect with him the person as opposed to him the fighter.

Highly Anticipated WBC Super Welterweight Title Rematch Between Tony Harrison & Jermell Charlo Headlines Live in Primetime on FOX PBC Fight Night & On FOX Deportes Saturday, Dezembro 21 from Toyota Arena in Ontario, Califórnia – 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT

ONTARIO, Califa. (Novembro 5, 2019) – The highly anticipated WBC Super Welterweight Title rematch between Tony “Muito mau” Harrison e Jermell “Homem de Ferro” Charlo will headline live in primetime in FOX PBC Fight Night Action and on FOX Deportes Saturday, Dezembro 21 from Toyota Arena in Ontario, Califórnia.

Harrison vs. Charlo II is a high-voltage rematch that has been building ever since the end of the first matchup. The two were set to meet in June, but the rematch was postponed when Harrison suffered torn ligaments after spraining his ankle in training.

Now that he is fully healed, Harrison is ready to solidify his hold on the title while Charlo is ready to take back what he believes belongs to him. The rematch comes just one day short of a full year from the first time the two stepped into ring against each other on FOX.

After a dramatic and razor thin first fight, Tony Harrison and Jermell Charlo are sure to be at their best on December 21 when they settle their rivalry in a can’t miss rematch,” disse Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promoções. “This is the kind of high stakes 50-50 fight that belongs in primetime on FOX and I know that the Southern California boxing fans watching in Ontario will love everything that these two champions bring to the ring.

Os ingressos para o evento, que é promovido pela Lions Somente Promotions e Promoções TGB, are on sale now and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com.

In the first meeting, Harrison deployed a tactical defensive strategy that blunted much of the force of Charlo’s high-powered offense. The intrigue of the rematch is whether Harrison will be able to use a similar strategy to remain champion or will Charlo be able to impose his will on Harrison and regain the title.

The 29-year-old Harrison (28-2, 21 KOs) entered the first match against Charlo having come up short in his previous world title attempt. He lost to Jarrett Hurd in a bid for the IBF title in 2017. Harrison, a protégé of the late Emanuel Steward and a native of Detroit, bounced back with three strong performances, including a decision victory over former world champion Ishe Smith.

The delay just made me even hungrier heading into this fight,” disse Harrison. “Watching Charlo the night we were supposed to go shine, and rejuvenate himself, it built up so much hunger in me. I’m tired of the talk and the noise. Eu estou pronto para ir.

We’re looking to work smarter this time,” added Harrison. “I think everything I did before worked, but we want to make it even more decisive. The plan is to be more technically sound overall. You may see an early knockout. It’s tense between both parties. I’m pretty sure he wants to knock me out as much as I want to knock him out. Whoever has the best plan will win. But I’m by far the better athlete. Athlete for athlete it’s not even close. I’ll beat him in everything, encontro, basquete, futebol. My style is perfect for his style. He’s Shane Mosley to my Vernon Forrest. I’ll beat him every time I face him.

It was an emotional night for Charlo (32-1, 16 KOs) the first time he fought Harrison. He and his twin brother, Jermall, the WBC Middleweight World Champion, were defending their titles on a FOX PBC Fight Night doubleheader at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Jermell and many ringside observers thought he had done enough to beat Harrison, but the judges saw it differently, handing Harrison a unanimous decision victory and setting up a hotly contested rematch.

A 29-year-old native of Houston, Texas, Charlo, won the title with a knockout victory over John Jackson in 2016. He went on to establish himself as one of the best young finishers in the sport with devastating stoppage victories over Charles Hatley and Erickson Lubin in defense of the title. He scored a majority decision over former world champion Austin Trout before taking on Harrison and most recently scored a knockout victory over Jorge Cota on FOX in June.

I still feel strongly that I won that first fight and I’m going to do things in a more dominant fashion this time,” Disse Charlo. “I’m coming in to this fight being the overpowering, forte, ferocious Jermell Charlo. Tony Harrison is not on my level. It’s my job on December 21 to prove that and to prove my worth. I’m coming in there mentally focused. When I fought Jorge Cota, that’s a prelim of what’s to be expected from me in the future.

I want to look for the knockout and set it up,” continued Charlo. “I don’t want it to go the judges. That’s my worst nightmare. If it does go 12 rounds, he’s going to be very injured at the end. The loss taught me how to be more patient and to take things step-by-step. I’m going to show everyone why Jermell Charlo is a threat to the whole 154-pound division. I personally feel I’m the best in the division. I’m an upgraded Jermell Charlo that you’ll see on December 21.

Boxing’s Best Kept Secret Undefeated WBC Youth World lightweight champion JamaineThe Technician” Ortiz

WORCESTER, Massa. (Novembro 5, 2019) – Undefeated World Boxing Youth World lightweight champion JamaineThe Technician” Ortiz (12-0, 6 KOs) é, talvez, the best prospect in the world who most boxing fans don’t know.

A large part of the problem, contudo, is that the 23-year-old Ortiz, born and raised in the fighting city of Worcester, MA, never aspired to be a professional boxer, despite having a decorated amateur career.

He started boxing when he was six years old, thanks to National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame trainer Carlos Garcia, who has run the boxing program at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club for nearly 40 anos.

The naturally gifted Ortiz compiled an outstanding 100-14 registro amador, highlighted by a silver medal at the 2015 Torneio Luvas de Ouro nacionais, in which he lost in the championship final to future professional world champion Joselito Lopez, plus back-to-back gold medal performances at the New England Tournament of Champions in 2015 & 2016.

Testimony to Ortizpromising potential was his final amateur match, which was a solid victory against Abraham “Super” Nova, que é 17-0 (13 KOs) como um profissional, as well as the reigning North American Boxing Association champion, and rated by the World Boxing Association (WBA) como o n. 8 pluma no mundo.

Turning pro wasn’t my end goal,” consummate boxer Ortiz said. “It really wasn’t on my mind. I focused on regional and national tournaments. I always thought I’d win an Olympic gold medal and then turn pro. I wish I had been better prepared to turn pro.

People that know me didn’t even realize that I had turned pro. It took a while before I adjusted, but I never really transitioned. Others had a game plan; I didn’t have a clue, but soon realized trophies I won in the amateurs weren’t going to pay the bills. Most of my fans today are other fighters and coaches.

When his Olympic dream ended, after he lost in the semifinals of the Olympic Trials, that’s when his promoter, Jimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports / CES), and co-adviser, Providence businessman Richard Shappy got involved in Ortizpro career. They’ve invested time, money and energy, believing in Ortiz and his tremendous potential.

“Por anos,” explained Shappy, who advises Ortiz along with Eddie Imondi,” I kept telling Jimmy (Burchfield) that I was interested in getting involved with a boxer, but that it had to be the right one. One day Jimmy called to say this (Ortiz) is the one. I jumped onboard. He convinced me that Jamaine is a future world champion. We jumped in from his first fight, on the ground floor, and we believe he is going to be world champion.

Burchfield has promoted the likes of five-time world champion Vinny Paz, U.S. OlímpicoJason Estrada, Ray Oliveira, Gary Balletto, Peter Manfredo, Jr. and many others during his 25-plus years in the boxing industry. “Jamaine is the best I’ve promoted since Vinny Paz,” Burchfield claimed without hesitation. “He’s one of the best prospects in the world today and someday he’ll be world champion. Some say he has the good looks ofOscar de la Hoya; others feel his style is like that ofAçúcar’ Ray Leonard.”

When his Olympic dream unceremoniously ended, he decided to turn pro in 2016, winning his pro debut when Josh Parker retired after one round. The highlight of his young pro career to date was winning an eight-round unanimous decision this past February from previously undefeated (10-0) Ricardo Quiroz to capture the vacant WBC Youth World lightweight title, the same belt once proudly worn by, ironicamente, the aforementioned Lopez, bem como Juan Diaz e Daniel Estrada.

Past CES-promoted fighters who were WBC World Youth champions include three-time world champion “Mau” Chad Dawson e peso pesado polonês Maruisz Wach.

In his last fight and first WBC World Youth title defense this past August, Ortiz won a dominating eight-round unanimous decision over 8-1-1 Romain Couture, pitching a shutout by winning each round on all three judges’ scorecards.

Ortiz’ time to star in the ring is coming. He is a diamond in the rough; jovem, talented and with tremendous upside. He has a strong team behind him, including head coach Rocky Gonzalez and Garcia, who is still working his corner

Ortiz’ fan-base will eventually develop and quickly grow as more and more boxing fans discover this gifted boxer as he ascends to the top of the boxing mountain.
2020 promises to be theYear of The Technician,” Jamaine Ortiz.

Decastro para de forma sensacional o Castaneda in Five em Lincoln

Relatório: Gianluca Di Caro

Na noite de sábado, na sala de máquinas da Lincoln University, os fãs locais compareceram em força para apoiar o rapaz local Nathan Decastro em sua defesa da União Mundial de Boxe (WBU) Título do Super Middleweight World que ele detém desde abril, bem como tentativa de adicionar a Fundação Mundial de Boxe (WBF) Coroa para sua coleção contra a substituição tardia Fernando Castaneda, do México.

Originalmente, Decastro deveria enfrentar o nicaraguense José Varela, porém na quarta-feira Varela, quem estava na Espanha na época, foi recusado um visto de saída pelas autoridades espanholas quando chegou ao aeroporto de Barcelona para o seu voo com destino ao Reino Unido, então não foi capaz de fazer a viagem para Lincoln.

A luta em si foi um assunto bastante confuso, devido à manutenção contínua de Castaneda, após Decastro pousar um feroz corpo baleado no início do primeiro que claramente estava afetando o mexicano, cada vez que Decastro avançava e o soltava, ele agarrava o braço para evitar mais punições ao corpo.

As rodadas dois e três foram semelhantes, embora para ser justo, houve um pouco mais de boxe, ao invés de lutar, ação. Decastro trabalhou o corpo de seu inimigo sempre que teve a oportunidade, o que não era tão frequente devido às táticas mexicanas de bater e segurar.

A quarta rodada foi muito mais aberta após o árbitro Lee Murtagh ter palavras duras com Castaneda sobre a detenção, tanto que houve algumas trocas venenosas que se seguiram, no entanto, cada vez que Decastro visava o corpo, Castaneda inicialmente agarraria, então Decastro começou a disparar exocetos na cabeça.

Decastro claramente se cansou de ficar frustrado com as táticas de Castaneda quando a quinta estrofe começou, o homem de Bardney mudou ligeiramente de tática e começou a ir muito mais para a frente, bem como mais rápido e acertar alguns chutes sérios no primeiro minuto ou assim, Castaneda respondeu na mesma moeda, mas de forma bastante ineficaz devido à sua determinação em proteger seu corpo de mais punições, mantendo distância.

Mais ou menos no meio da rodada, Decastro empurrou o mexicano em direção à corda e fingiu um soco, fazendo com que Castaneda levantasse as mãos apenas o suficiente para criar uma abertura e soltar um enorme gancho no corpo que mandou o mexicano para a tela dobrado de dor.

Castaneda inicialmente tentou subir, mas imediatamente desabou e se contorceu de dor, O árbitro Lee Murtagh imediatamente desistiu da luta e chamou o médico ao ringue quando Decastro e sua equipe começaram suas comemorações. Tempo oficial de paralisação de um minuto e trinta e oito segundos da quinta rodada.

Antes de Decastro-Castaneda veja Sophie Varley em ação contra Jaime Bates para o Conselho Profissional de Boxe (PBC) Campeonato Internacional de Bronze.

Tenho que dizer que esta foi uma luta incrível do início ao fim, as duas meninas lutaram muito durante os dois minutos inteiros de cada rodada. Varley acertando alguns figurões importantes, incluindo um no sexto que abalou Bates profundamente, suas pernas tinham sumido, mas de alguma forma ela conseguiu não apenas ficar de pé, mas foi experiente o suficiente para se dar alguns segundos para recuperar a compostura dando um soco para manter Varley longe.

Cada rodada foi toda ação e seriamente perto, tanto que eu não conseguia separá-los, pontuação sábia, em algumas rodadas e cada uma, em minha opinião, garantiu algumas rodadas e, devo admitir, pensei que o resultado seria um empate, Eu estava errado (Eu claramente não sou material de juiz) como os cartões de pontuação dos três juízes experientes lêem; Adrian Thorne 57-59, James Ancliff 57-58 e Graeme Beauly 56-59 todos a favor de Jaime Bates.

Antes de Varley-Bates, houve outra luta violenta entre o estreante Zac Lane de Sheffield e o nicaraguense Frederick Castro.

O choque de estilos foi o que realmente tornou essa luta, Castro tem um atacante distinto no estilo de ataque, enquanto Layne’s emula o estilo do Príncipe Naseem, e cara, o jovem fez esse estilo seu, mergulhando e balançando para fora do perigo antes de lançar contra-ataques cada vez que o nicaraguense atacava. Dizendo que eu deveria enfatizar que Layne não é unidimensional, quando necessário, ele ficava mais do que feliz em ir de igual para igual, deixando rolar com esquerdas e direitas extremamente rápidas e poderosas.

Foi uma grande luta de assistir, fechar e toda ação ao longo. Após quatro rodadas fantásticas, o Árbitro Lee Murtagh marcou o concurso 39-37 a favor do estreante Zac Layne, para grande aborrecimento de Castro e seu corner que cercou o árbitro disputando o placar, que eu entendo perfeitamente porque ele foi o mais agressivo, mas tenho que dizer que Layne neutralizou os ataques do mexicano com facilidade e seu contra-ataque foi sensacional e, a meu ver, tinha feito mais do que o suficiente para garantir a vitória.

Antes de Layne contra Castro foi outro thriller de ação, o tempo entre dois lutadores invictos Sugar Atahasan da República Turca de Chipre contra Jack Jones do Leeds.

Atahasan dominou a primeira estrofe utilizando sua vantagem de alcance para um efeito extremamente bom. No entanto, ele não tinha tudo à sua maneira, especialmente à medida que a luta avançava para o segundo, enquanto Jones pacientemente trabalhava criando aberturas antes de deixar rasgar com grandes tiros o corpo e a cabeça de Atahasan.

Atahasan acelerou a marcha e realmente partiu para cima no terceiro, e como nos primeiros procedimentos dominados. Muito do mesmo no quarto, bem até a meio do caminho, quando Jones se aproveitou de um erro defensivo de Atahasan e acertou um pêssego de um chute que mandou o cipriota turco para a lona. Atahasan mal tocou no chão e estava de pé em um instante e no reinício entrou forte e rápido até o final da rodada.

Após quatro rodadas sensacionais, o placar do Árbitro Lee Murtagh leu 37-38 em favor de Jack Jones.

A quarta disputa da noite opôs-se a Liverpudlian Paul Peers, de Orkney, contra Amos Mwamakula da Tanzânia em uma rodada de quatro rodadas.

Mais uma vez, que guerra fantástica de toda a ação, Os pares entraram forte e rápido e continuaram aumentando a pressão com tiros massivos no corpo e na cabeça durante todo o primeiro round, Mwamakula é tão claramente tão forte quanto consegue resistir aos ataques intensos e poderosos de seus pares.

O segundo foi um pouco menos intenso, como os pares escolheram mudar ligeiramente de tática, diminuindo o ritmo e escolhendo suas tacadas. Quase o mesmo no terceiro, mas no quarto Peers acelerou um pouco o ritmo e como no primeiro mirou no corpo seriamente duro do Tanzaniano.

Depois de quatro rodadas excelentes de boxe, o placar do Árbitro Lee Murtagh leu 40-36 em favor de Paul Peers.

Antes de Peers vs Mwamakula, houve uma competição de peso pesado entre Lee Kellett, do Barrow-in-Furness, e Tomas Vaicickas, da Lituânia.

Novamente, esta foi uma guerra completa, com os dois homens indo a todo vapor durante grande parte da competição. O desempenho de Kellet foi o melhor que eu já vi dele em um bom tempo, ele parecia confiante e realmente estava colocando muita força em seus tiros.

Vaicickas é o mais forte que pode e absorveu alegremente os figurões vindos do homem Barrow antes de enfrentar o estilo. Enquanto Kellet dominou o primeiro cupê de rodadas, Vaicickas se destacou no terceiro depois de intensificar o ritmo.

O quarto foi todo Kellet embora, tanto que quando a luta entrou no minuto final, o lituano pareceu desistir e apenas ficar de costas para as cordas devido ao ritmo que Kellett havia estabelecido e apenas absorver os socos à vontade.

Depois de quatro grandes rodadas, foi para o placar do Árbitro Lee Murtagh, que sem surpresa leu 39-36 em favor de Lee Kellett.

A segunda luta da noite colocou o Metin Turunc da República Turca de Chipre contra Jose F Leon de Porto Rico.

Turunc começou forte e rápido, jogando bombas enormes em todas as oportunidades e literalmente batendo em Leon, que mal conseguia encontrar uma abertura para contra-atacar com tantos figurões constantemente vindo em sua direção.

O corner do porto-riquenho estava tão preocupado que perto da marca do minuto da primeira volta, seu corner jogou a toalha em um esforço para salvar seu homem de mais punições, no entanto, o árbitro Lee Murtagh apenas chutou a toalha e deixou a luta continuar, o que aconteceu, mas não por enquanto Turunc acertou outro tiro enorme para enviar Leon para baixo e para fora na marca de um minuto e vinte e sete segundos do primeiro round.

Por favor não me interpretem mal, sim, era todo o trânsito de mão única, como parece ser a norma com Turunc, Eu já o vi lutar antes e sei o quão implacável ele é, Leon deu o seu melhor para permanecer na luta, mas foi derrotado pelo cipriota turco sério e forte.

A luta de abertura da noite realmente deu o tom para toda a noite, como espero ter deixado claro antes que todos excluem o evento principal e, claro, Turunc vs Leon, as lutas foram todas travadas de perto em Battle Royale do mais alto nível, bem acredite em mim a luta de abertura, entre a estreia de Lewis Mulberry e Gerona, Pablo Narvaez da Nicarágua baseado na Espanha, foi outro nível novamente, foi sensacional.

Mulberry realmente partiu para a direita desde o sino de abertura e boxe sensacionalmente, Narvaez é um talento, então nenhuma surpresa ele estava pronto para uma batalha e deu o melhor que recebeu em troca, no entanto, as coisas deram um pouco errado para o nicaraguense no primeiro momento, quando ele foi pego por um tiro de pêssego e enviado para a tela – direi que vi Narvaez em ação algumas vezes e esta é a primeira vez que o vi caído, parabéns para a jovem Mulberry.

A segunda rodada mostra Narvaez sendo um pouco mais defensivo, embora ainda feliz por ficar cara a cara com o grande jovem socador. A terceira rodada, porém, teve uma reviravolta na sorte, já que Narvaez realmente começou a tomar uma atitude, que permitiu a Mulberry mostrar seus talentos defensivos e contra-ataques sensacionais. A quarta foi uma guerra aberta com os dois homens lutando por três minutos completos. Após quatro rodadas cintilantes de boxe, o Árbitro Lee Murtagh marcou o concurso 39-37 em favor do estreante Lewis Mulberry.

Eu tenho que fazer de Mulberry contra Narvaez a luta da noite, foi magnífico, e também devo dizer que o Mulberry realmente impressionou, ele é o verdadeiro negócio, ele tem todas as ferramentas em seu peito para chegar ao topo em nosso amado esporte, Eu, pelo menos, não posso esperar para vê-lo em ação novamente, com certeza.

Unbeaten Mykquan Williams learned invaluable lesson for future

Picture by Emily Harney / Team Williams

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Novembro 4, 2019) – The true test for a genuine boxing prospect is how he or she responds to adversity, whether it included a loss, cortar, knockdown or, in the case of “Maravilhoso” Mykquan Williams, a disputed decision that tarnished his perfect pro record.

The 21-year-old Williams, agora 15-0-1 (7 KOs), was recently on the short end of a highly disputed eight-round draw with Tre’Sean Wiggins (11-4-3, 6 KOs), no “Broadway Boxe” main event held at Generoso Pope Athletic Complex on the campus of St. Francis College in Brooklyn.

Nobody claimed the questionable decision was highway robbery, ainda, most non-partisan fans at the show, or those watching live on UFC FIGHT PASS®, felt Williams rightfully deserved to have his arms raised in victory. Despite having a blemish placed on his pro record, he didn’t suffer a loss, and did retain his World Boxing Council (WBC) United States super lightweight title.

Williams’ opponent was a southpaw with a five-inch height advantage. Once he felt Williams’ poder, especially in the liver, Wiggins went into survival mode, clutching and grabbing every time Williams got close.

Neither Williams nor his head trainer, Paul Cichon, was pleased when the judgesscores were announced – 77-75 in favor of Williams, 76-76 duas vezes – for a majority draw. Never-the-less, both feel that this developmental lesson will pay dividends down the road.

The plan was for me to work inside,” Williams said after the fight. “The first and second were feeling out rounds and then I’d adjust. I didn’t feel from the start that he could hurt me. I wanted to get inside and beat him with body punches. I did that but I think I played to the crowd a little too much. I’d change that if I could go back. And I would have let my hands go more, but I won this fight because I landed the harder, cleaner more effective shots throughout the fight. He just wanted to hold.

I’m disappointed because I was defending my title, but I didn’t lose the fight and I still have my belt. I ll have a lot to learn and I’ll be back in the gym soon to fix errors I made so that I won’t have those issues my next fight.

Cichon felt that Williams won five if not six rounds because he was the aggressor throughout the match. “Eu estava surpreso,” ele admitiu. “Mykye was the champion and I thought that he (Wiggins) would have needed to win convincingly to win rounds. He didn’t. Mykye started using his double jab to get inside and then he killed his opponent’s body. The body shots brought Wigginshands down. Mykye stalked and hurt him a few times.

Mykye learned a valuable lesson like not letting the crowd get to him, and never letting up on the gas.Wiggins was smart. Every time Mykye got close to him, he grabbed him, especially after he felt Mykye’s powerful body shots. It may have been ugly, but he fought smart.

Team Williams agrees that there’s no sense rushing Williams, Afinal, ele só é 21, but that 2020 should be an active, career-changing year for the East Hartford (CT) lutador.

I’m ready to fight at the next level,” Williams concluded. “Time will tell. Styles make fights but I hurt him (Wiggins) several times.

We’ll jump back in the ring in early 2020,Cichon added. “We’re looking to fight opponents with winning records, but not another six-foot southpaw.

I was very proud of Mykey,” Williams’ manager Jackie Kallen comentou. It was a learning experience that will make him an even greater fighter. He is still undefeated and one of the top young prospects in the 140-pound division. The next year will be a pivotal one for him.

VERONA, N.I.. (Novembro. 4, 2019) — Two of the light heavyweight’s division’s most explosive fighters are set for a fistic shootout Saturday, Jan. 18, as former world champion Eleider “Storm” Alvarez will face Michael “Cannon Handz” Seals at Turning Stone Resort Casino.


The 10-round showdown will be contested for the vacant WBC Continental Americas title, and the winner is expected to challenge for a world title in 2020.

Alvarez-Seals and a co-feature will stream live and exclusively on ESPN+, o serviço líder de streaming multi-desporto, começando no 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT. Undercard bouts will stream live on ESPN+ starting at 6:30 p.m. E / 3:30 p.m. PT.

Promovido pela classificação superior, in association with Groupe Yvon Michel, tickets priced at $89, $75, $69, $62, $59 and $40 go on sale Friday, Novembro. 8 em 10 a.m. ET and can be purchased at the Turning Stone Resort Box Office, charge by phone by calling 800.771.7711 ou online emTicketmaster.

“This is a fantastic fight, a true 50-50 matchup featuring two of the division’s best punchers,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “The light heavyweight division is on fire right now, and the winner will be in a tremendous position.”

“I am very happy to get back in the ring after this long layoff,” Alvarez said. “I am looking at Jan. 18 to reboot my career against a strong puncher, Michael Seals, and begin my campaign to once again be on top of the boxing world. I have a lot of respect for my opponent, but in 2020, nothing will stop me from becoming a world champion again.”

“First, I would like to thank Top Rank and ESPN for giving Eleider this opportunity, as well as a plan to be very active in 2020,” said Yvon Michel, Alvarez’s co-promoter. “Eleider had a great run before his last fight, beating three former or current world champions in a row: Lucian Bute, Jean Pascal and Sergey Kovalev. The defeat in his rematch with Kovalev was very painful, but also a great learning lesson. Eleider Alvarez belongs with the elite of the light heavyweight division, and he will prove it starting Jan. 18 in Verona.”

“Uncle Bob and Brad Goodman are giving me the opportunity of a lifetime, and I am going to put on a show for them,” Seals said. “Everyone knows that going the distance is against my religion. I’m going to bring the heat, and that’s no secret. Alvarez made a huge mistake in accepting me for his ‘comeback fight.’ When you sign a contract with me, I’m trying to force-feed you some ZzzQuil. This is a tune-up for him but everything for me. I’m not an opponent for the top fighters. I am a top fighter. I want a world title shot, and I won’t let this guy get in the way. He had his time. It’s my time.”

Alvarez (24-1, 12 KOs), the Colombian-born, Montreal-based boxer-puncher has not fought since Feb. 2, when he dropped a unanimous decision to Sergey Kovalev six months after knocking him out to win the WBO light heavyweight world title. Alvarez’s long layoff is due to a torn foot ligament he suffered in training earlier this year. He hopes a win over Seals will earn him another crack at world championship glory.

Seals (24-2, 18 KOs), a Mobile, Alabama, native who played collegiate football at Alabama A&M, is still one of the division’s heaviest hitters at 37 anos de idade. An 11-year pro, Seals has been involved in many memorable brawls, incluindo um 2015 Fight of the Year contender versus Edwin Rodriguez that included five knockdowns in three rounds. Despite falling short versus Rodriguez, Seals’ reputation as a fan-friendly was solidified. Ele ganhou quatro em uma fileira, including three by knockout in either first or second round. He is coming off a one-punch, first-round knockout Oct. 18 in Philadelphia against Elio Trosch.

Nikolai Potapov Returns with Impressive TKO over Africa’s Nasibu Ramadhani

WBO #9 e IBF #11 Bantamweight Nikolai Potapov returned to action Thursday night in Moscow with an impressive fifth-round TKO over Tanzanian veteran Nasibu Ramadhani.


Fighting in the 10-round main event of a card presented by Shamo Boxing at the Korston Club Hotel, Potapov (21-2-1, 12 KOs), de Podolsk, Rússia, worked past a head-butt induced cut left eye to put his world-class skills on full display. He wobbled the aggressive Ramadhani (29-14-2, 16 KOs) in the second round with a three-punch combination and continued to dominate until the stoppage.


“I am glad to get the work and the win,” said the victorious Potapov. “I would like to come back to the US and get another opportunity to fight for the world title.”


The fight was Potapov’s first since his highly controversial decision loss to fellow contender Joshua Greer last July. Promotor de Potapov, Dmitriy Salita, says the capable Russian is gearing up for another assault on the division’s best.


“I am glad Nikolai got some work in and was able to score an impressive TKO victory. The bantamweight division is heating up and he is up there with the best in the weight class. I look forward to a great 2020 for Nikolai!"
