Javier Martinez making Milwaukee proud on the way to World Championships in Russia

COLORADO SPRINGS, Αγκαλιά. (Αύγουστος 19, 2019) – Milwaukee isn’t known as one of the leading producers of world-class boxers, ωστόσο, Team USA middleweight
Javier Martinez may be the rare exception.


Milwaukee isn’t really a great place for boxing,” Martinez agreed, “αλλά (πούλμαν) Izzy Acosta always had a great program that produced a lot of national champions. Ας ελπίσουμε ότι, one day I can do what he’s done for my city. We do have a few good fighters coming out of my gym who are still on the rise. Look out for my boy, Luis Feliciano, a former USA National champion (the 26-year-old junior welterweight is 12-0 as a pro with eight wins by knockout).”

The most famous fighter to come out of Milwaukee is world kickboxing champion RickThe JetRufus. There have been a few Milwaukee boxers of note over the years, συμπεριλαμβανομένου MyronPinkyMitchell, who became the first junior welterweight champion of the world in 1922, Robert “Σπηλαιάνθρωπος” Moha (1910-15), former national champion Tyrone “The ButterflyTrice, and Pan American Games bronze medalist and two-time national amateur champion, LeChaunce Shepard.

Martinez is currently training in Colorado Springs at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Training Center for the World Championships, Σεπτέμβριος 7-21, in Yekaterinburg, Ρωσία.

It’s a good feeling and I plan on taking full advantage of this opportunity,” Martinez spoke about competing at the World Championships. “I love coming to Colorado; it’s like therapy for me, keeping me away from the distractions back home. I’m very excited to be going to Russia. I’m thankful to USA Boxing for all the opportunities I’ve had, and I hope to bring back a medal from Russia.

Martinez says he didn’t have a normal childhood, explaining that he looked up to the wrong people. His life changed for the better when his father introduced him to boxing and meeting Coach Acosta, who was recently honored by the USA Boxing Alumni Association for his contributions to amateur boxing as a boxer and coach for the past half-century.

I don’t know what I’d be doing today (if not for boxing),” noted Martinez, που γυρίζει 24 τον Αύγουστο 24. “I just know that boxing was my way out of the ‘hood. Coach Izzy is a very loving person, and a great person to have around. He had a very good boxing career and it’s great to have a person like that in my corner.

Martinez, who is the No. 2 ranked middleweight in the U.S., captured a gold medal at the 2018 Elite National Championships and silver at the 2016 & 2017 Elite National Championships. He’s also brought home bronze from the 2013 National Junior Olympics and Feliks Stamm Tournament.

Self-described as an awkward southpaw who can give anybody problems, Martinez’ short-term goal is to be an Olympic gold medalist, long-term to be world champion.

Javier Martinez is making Milwaukee proud by punchinhis way to the top.

Before and After: The Incredible Rebirth of Mikey ‘Baby Face’ Faragon

The incredible rebirth of Albany, New York’s Mikey “Baby Face” Faragon (19-1, 9 KOs) is complete and he will return to action in a six-rounder tonight, Παρασκευή, Αύγουστος 9, at a GCP and Rapacz Boxing show at the Grand Casino in Hinckley, Minnesota against Missouri’s Demetrius Wilson.


Faragon was once a super lightweight prospect touted as one of the most promising young fighters to ever come out of the Capital Region, but a severe foot injury forced him out of boxing five years ago.


During his extended recovery, which included several painful surgeries, 32-year-old Faragon fell into depression and unhealthy living and gained a great deal of weight.


With his mobility now restored, Faragon challenged himself to get back in shape and said he would fight again if he could. Εικόνα παραπάνω, δεξιά, Faragon is back in fighting shape and, against Wilson, will be looking to gauge how much of that immense potential he still has.

Legendary Air Force Academy boxing coach Ed Weichers coached perfect storm

COLORADO SPRINGS, Αγκαλιά. (Αύγουστος 8, 2019) – Boxing coachEd Weichers, a charter member of the USA Boxing Alumni Association, guided the United States Air Force Academy from 1976-2014 to a record of 19 national collegiate boxing team championships.

Coach Weichers’ Fighting Falcons’ squads produced a remarkable 258 All-America boxers and 97 individual champions. His teams never finished lower than second in the nation for 27 years and he also served as president and vice president of the National Collegiate Boxing Association (NCBA).

Coaching sports at a military school is much different, largely because student-athletes in most cases, ειδικά πυγμαχία, are not professional prospects. “Our Cadets were not trained to be elite level amateurs or pros,” the now 68-year-old Weichers explained. “In 1976, the cost to put one Cadet through four years at the Academy was $80,000 αλλά, σε 2014, the year of my retirement, that figure was $417,000. Cadets are trained to go forward and serve. They fly, πάλη, win and defend freedoms that we all enjoy. Boxing at the next level is not part of the discussion. I got calls at the time about our boxers going to the next level, fighting in Tough Man Contests, etc. My answer is and has always been consistent: ‘You are not trained to be a boxer in the Air Force. Do not jeopardize your pilot qualifications or commission ability with a boxing injury.’ The Air Force has an investment in them, and I urged them to go forward and serve. I send them back to the real purpose of the boxing class/program at AFA. It teaches them how to handle press, stress, fear and anxiety. Boxing gives them the self confidence and self esteem to make good decisions in combat under pressure. The ability to handle these pressures and make good decisions are the difference in life and death in combat.”

Coach Weichers, φυσικά, attributes a large share of his success to the Cadets, who are intelligent, disciplined and team oriented. All Cadets take a mandatory core curriculum boxing course (10 lessons) their freshman year, followed by an intramural boxing program comprised of 40 squadron teams with a minimum of eight to a maximum of 16 boxers per team.

Not only did Weichers work with this incredible feeder system, the next step was the AFA Wing Open Boxing Championships, in which Cadets voluntarily signed-up to compete in one of 12 divisions to box for the No. 1 spot, earning a roster spot on the AFA Intercollegiate boxing team that competes in regional and national tournaments. The advancing 12 Cadets represented the entire Air Force Academy.

“Bottom line,’ Coach Weichers noted, “this formula was a perfect storm. I must give credit to and thank two Physical Education Department headsCol. Don Peterson καιCol. Larry Fariss, and two athletic directors who were instrumental to our support and successCol. John Clune καιCol. Randy Spetman.

“I was blessed with young men who I describe as overachievers. Cadets are tenacious. We built on an individual sport with a team concept. I had great assistant coaches, the best training facilities, and an environment of being surrounded by quality people in all phases.”

After he retired as head boxing coach at the Air Force Academy, Weichers led Team USA in 2014 και 2015 to five medals, including two golds, at the Pan American Games in Toronto.

“The plan was to hire Billy Walsh, who was the head coach of Team Ireland,” Weichers added. “I committed to sponsor Coach Walsh upon his arrival and make his transition smooth. I did that and Coach Walsh and I have become good friends. He is the correct man for the job, and he brings a great resume and reputation. He has helped turn the program around and created a winning culture. Team USA is back, ranked among the top 10 στον κόσμο, and that is a direct result of Coach Walsh.”

Weichers joined the USA Boxing Alumni Association because he is a huge supporter ofΤζον Μπράουν, former President and current Vice President of USA Boxing.

“John had the idea or concept (to form the alumni association) and I looked at the purpose and thought it would be a way to honor and recognize those who contributed over the years,” Weichers remarked. “I hope that successful professionals from the past and present recognize those who contributed over the years. I also hope that they remember their roots were with USA Boxing and give back. We all had help and our start and success did not happen alone. Be humble and grateful and give back.”

Weichers is high on Team USA, especially its overall potential in the 2020 Olympic Games in Japan, ρητό, “We’re solid going into 2020. The key to success, κατά τη γνώμη μου, is head coach Billy Walsh. He is very experienced. His reputation and resume are top shelf. Coach Walsh is well known and respected on the international level. He has the ability to reach out to other countries and make positive things happen for our athletes. He has adjusted the culture in our boxing program, identifying our strengths, and making adjustment where weak. Coach Walsh brings leadership and credibility. Bottom line, we have the right coach for the job in place.”

Weichers’ association with the NCBA led to his relationship with USA Boxing at various levels and capacities. He has always felt gratified to give back to boxing, as well as an obligation to grow the sport at every level.

“I was lucky/blessed to work in a place I refer to as Camelot,” Weichers concluded. “It’s an athletic paradise; core values, honor code, and a mission that anyone can connect with and admire. I can say that I am a better person for my experience at the Air Force Academy.

“I love the sport of boxing, because of what it did for me, in terms of molding my life. The gratification that comes with seeing how young men and women grow and mature, as a result of their experience with boxing was very positive.

And countless Cadets are better people because they were coached by Ed Weichers.

DEVIN HANEY VS. ZAUR ABDULLAEV ΣΕΠΤΕΜΒΡΙΟΣ 13 ΣΤΟ ΘΕΑΤΡΟ HULU στη Νέα Υόρκη

Αύγουστος 6, 2019 – Ο Devin Haney μπορεί να κάνει ένα τεράστιο άλμα προς τη δόξα του παγκόσμιου τίτλου, όταν αντιμετωπίζει τον αήττητο αστέρι Zaur Abdullaev σε έναν τελικό αποκλεισμό για τον WBC World Lightweight τίτλο την Παρασκευή Σεπτεμβρίου 13 στο θέατρο Hulu στο Madison Square Garden, New York, ζωντανά στο DAZN στις ΗΠΑ και στο Sky Sports στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο.

Χάνι (22-0 14 KOs) έκανε ένα εντυπωσιακό ντεμπούτο με Matchroom Boxing USA και DAZN τον Μάιο, καταστρέφοντας τον Antonio Moran με τον KO της χρονιάς υποψήφιος στον έβδομο γύρο της σύγκρουσης στο Μέριλαντ. Ο 20 Χρονών παλεύει στο Big Apple για πρώτη φορά στην καριέρα του και το φυσικό του Λας Βέγκας, κατετάγη #2 με το WBC, χτυπά το Μανχάταν για τον μεγαλύτερο αγώνα του, αλλά σε συνδυασμό με τις προσφορές DHP και τον Titov Boxing.

Αμπντουλάιφ (11-0 7 KOs) κατατάσσεται #3 με το WBC να έχει προσγειωθεί το Silver Lightweight ιμάντα μόλις στην ένατη εκδρομή του τον Απρίλιο 2018, και ο υψηλόβαθμος και επικίνδυνος Ρώσος κατέγραψε το δικό του 11ου pro win και έβδομη εντός της απόστασης τον Φεβρουάριο, σταματώντας τον Humberto Martinez στο Εκατερίνμπουργκ, και τώρα παλεύει έξω από την πατρίδα του για πρώτη φορά στην καριέρα του.

Το στέμμα του WBC θα είναι στα χέρια του Βασιλι Λωμάμενκο ή του Λουμπ Κάμπελ MBE όταν η σύγκρουση στο The O2 στο Λονδίνο τον Αύγουστο 31, με τον Haney και τον Abdullaev να παρατηρούν έντονα ότι οι συγκρούσεις από τα προπονητικά τους στρατόπεδα γίνονται κλειδαριές τον Σεπτέμβριο 13.

“Πάντα νιώθω καλά όταν έχω την επίσημη ημερομηνία,” είπε ο Χάνι. “Μένω στο γυμναστήριο γιατί είμαι σκύλος και μου αρέσει να παλεύω. Θέλω ο κόσμος να με δει να ανεβαίνω στον ανταγωνισμό μου. Όσο καλύτερα είναι τόσο καλύτερα είμαι. Παλεύω έναν αήττητο μαχητή στο θέατρο Hulu στο Madison Square Garden.

“Οι οπαδοί της Νέας Υόρκης είναι μερικοί από τους πιο πιστούς οπαδούς στον αθλητισμό και ανυπομονώ να βάλω πραγματικά μια παράσταση για αυτούς. Ο Abdullaev αρέσει να ασκεί πίεση και δεν περιμένω τίποτα λιγότερο τον Σεπτέμβριο 13. Τον έχω δει να πολεμά και είναι πεινασμένος μαχητής, δεν υπάρχει αμφιβολία ότι είναι ο σκληρότερος αντίπαλός μου μέχρι σήμερα. Αυτός ο αγώνας απέχει ένα βήμα μακριά από έναν αγώνα παγκόσμιου τίτλου, οπότε και οι δύο έχουμε πολλά στη γραμμή.

“Ο Abdullaev δεν έχει μεγάλο όνομα, αλλά κατατάσσεται #3 για κάποιο λόγο, και δεν τον πατάω ούτε κάποιον άλλον που με εμποδίζει. Είμαι ευλογημένος που έχω τεράστια υποστήριξη από τους DAZN και Eddie Hearn. Με αυτήν τη συνεργασία έχω την ευκαιρία να πολεμήσω τα καλύτερα στον κόσμο. Ενθαρρύνω όλους στη Νέα Υόρκη να αγοράσουν τα εισιτήριά τους ή να αποκτήσουν την εφαρμογή DAZN και να παρακολουθήσουν την ανάπτυξή μου στον επόμενο σούπερ σταρ στην πυγμαχία. Αυτός ο αγώνας θα ανάψει!”

“Χαίρομαι που συμβαίνει ο αγώνας,” είπε ο Abdullaev. “Ήμουν πανικοβλημένος όταν είδα κάποιες δημοσιεύσεις από τον Haney στα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης που κανείς δεν θέλει να τον πολεμήσει στα 135 κιλά, και ίσως χρειαστεί να ανέβει στο βάρος. Συνέχισα να δαγκώνω τα νύχια μου και πραγματικά ήθελα να ασχοληθώ, αλλά μου είπαν να μείνω υπομονετικός. Ο Αλλάχ ο ευγενικός έχει παραδώσει αυτόν τον αγώνα και τώρα η πραγματικότητά του.

“Είμαι λίγο απογοητευμένος που ο αγώνας δεν θα γίνει στην αυλή του Λας Βέγκας του Χανέι, καθώς θα ήταν υπέροχο να τον εκθρονίσει μπροστά από το κοράκι του σπιτιού του, αλλά η Νέα Υόρκη είναι μια μεγάλη πόλη του μποξ. Δεν είμαι ανόητος και καταλαβαίνω ότι έρχομαι ως αουτσάιντερ αλλά τον Σεπτέμβριο 13, Έρχομαι να σπάσω τη διαφημιστική εκστρατεία με όλες τις πιθανότητες.”

Ο πρωταθλητής WBA και IBF World Super-Bantamweight, Daniel Roman, οδηγεί μια στοιβαγμένη κάρτα κάτω από έναν στοματικό αγώνα επικεφαλής-υποστήριξης καθώς παίρνει τον θανατηφόρο WBA υποχρεωτικό αντίπαλο Murodjon Akhmadaliev. Ρωμαϊκός (27-2-1 10 KOs) ενοποίησε το στέμμα του WBA με το λουρί IBF του Ιρλανδού TJ Doheny σε έναν αγώνα της χρονιάς υποψήφιος στο σπίτι στο Λος Άντζελες τον Απρίλιο, μια πέμπτη νίκη στον παγκόσμιο τίτλο στην αναπήδηση ένα τέταρτο εσωτερικό 14 μήνες για το 29 χρονών.

Η πέμπτη υπεράσπιση του Ρωμαίου για το στέμμα του στο WBA τον βάζει σε βάρος του επικίνδυνου ταλέντου του Ουζμπεκιστάν Ακμαντάλιεφ (6-0 5 KOs) – ο ιδιαίτερα διακοσμημένος ερασιτέχνης έμοιαζε φοβισμένος στο τέλος των πέντε από τις έξι εξόδους του μέχρι σήμερα, με την 25 Η τελευταία νίκη ενός έτους έρχεται με το ίδιο νομοσχέδιο στο Λος Άντζελες με τον Ρόμαν με τον Ντόενι. Μυθιστόρημα εναντίον. Ο Akhmadaliev σας φέρνει σε συνεργασία με τον Thompson Boxing και τον κόσμο του εγκιβωτισμού.

“Όποιος με ξέρει καταλαβαίνει ότι είμαι πραγματικός μαχητής,” είπε ο Ρωμαίος. “Θα πολεμήσω όποιον έβαλαν μπροστά μου. Ο Akhmadaliev πεινά, αλλά έτσι είμαι εγώ. Δεν ήταν πολύ καιρό πριν [2017] όταν έκανα πρόκληση για τον τίτλο του WBA, έτσι δεν θα το παρατήσουμε. Είμαι εδώ για να πολεμήσω και να υπερασπιστώ τη ζώνη WBA για άλλη μια φορά. Έχω δύο ζώνες [WBA και IBF], αλλά θέλω περισσότερα. Στόχος μου είναι να τα αποκτήσω όλα αυτά, έτσι κι αλλιώς παραβλέπω τον Akhmadaliev. Έχει αυτό το ερασιτεχνικό γενεαλογικό, μπορεί να τρυπήσει με δύναμη και του αρέσει να βγαίνει μπροστά. Το δεύτερο υποτιμάτε κάποιον, τότε συμβαίνουν άσχημα πράγματα. Θα είμαι έτοιμος για ό, τι φέρνει.

“Ως ενοποιημένος πρωταθλητής, Καταλαβαίνω ότι έχω έναν στόχο στην πλάτη μου. Γι 'αυτό ήμουν στο γυμναστήριο, να μένω απότομη όπως πάντα. Δεν υπάρχει χρόνος για χαλάρωση και να κοιτάξω πίσω τι έχω κάνει επειδή η δουλειά μου δεν έχει τελειώσει.”

“Ο Ντάνι είναι από τους πιο αφοσιωμένους και πειθαρχημένους παγκόσμιους πρωταθλητές εκεί έξω,” είπε ο Ken Thompson, Πρόεδρος της Thompson Boxing Promotions. “Απολαμβάνει προκλήσεις και σε αυτό το σημείο στην καριέρα του, θέλει μόνο τους πιο δύσκολους και μεγαλύτερους αγώνες. Ο Akhmadaliev είναι νέος και επικίνδυνος αντίπαλος, αλλά ο Ντάνι έχει όλα τα εργαλεία για να συνεχίσει τη βασιλεία του ως το καλύτερο ταλέντο στο τμήμα. Είμαστε πεπεισμένοι ότι θα προσφέρει άλλη μια εξαιρετική απόδοση και θα διατηρήσει τον τίτλο του WBA για πέμπτη φορά.”

“Είμαι πολύ χαρούμενος που ο Daniel Roman πήρε αυτόν τον αγώνα,” είπε ο Akhmadaliev. “Ξέρω ότι είμαστε και οι δύο πολεμιστές και αυτό θα είναι ένας πραγματικός πόλεμος! Μην χάσετε αυτή τη μάχη!”

“Περιμένουμε αυτόν τον αγώνα για αρκετό καιρό,” είπε ο Βαντίμ Κορνίλοφ από το World of Boxing. “Πιστεύω με τη θέληση, χαρακτήρας, και δύναμη και των δύο αυτών τύπων, αυτός ο αγώνας θα είναι ένας αγώνας του υποψηφίου της χρονιάς.”

Υπάρχει περισσότερη δράση στον παγκόσμιο τίτλο, καθώς ο παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής επτά βαρών ρεκόρ, Amanda Serrano, αμφισβητεί τον πρωταθλητή του Παγκόσμιου Featherweight του WBO Heather Hardy σε μια υπόθεση στο Μπρούκλιν, σας έφερε η DiBella Entertainment σε συνεργασία με το Matchroom Boxing USA.

Serrano (36-1-1 27 KOs) κατέκτησε την έβδομη τάξη βάρους της στο Hulu Theatre τον τίτλο τον Ιανουάριο όταν ο Πουέρτο Ρίκα κατέστρεψε την Eva Voraberger μέσα στον πρώτο γύρο για να διεκδικήσει τον κενό τίτλο WBO Super-Flyweight.

Ο Serrano κράτησε το λουράκι WBO Featherweight 2016 πριν το εγκαταλείψει, τότε η αδερφή της Cindy το πήρε αργότερα εκείνο το έτος. Σκληραγωγημένος (22-0 4 KOs) ήταν επόμενος στη σειρά για να κερδίσει τον κενό τίτλο τον Οκτώβριο σε έναν επαναληπτικό αγώνα εναντίον της Shelley Vincent στο Θέατρο Hulu. Ο Χάρντι θέτει το μποξ σε αναμονή για να επιστρέψει στο MMA τον Ιούνιο με μια εκδρομή στο Bellator 222 στο Madison Square Garden, αλλά επιστρέφει στην πυγμαχία για να έρχονται αντιμέτωποι με τη συντροφιά της Μπρούκλιν.

“Ανακαλύψαμε τον Φεβρουάριο ότι ως σούπερ πρωταθλητής η Amanda θα μπορούσε να καλέσει οποιονδήποτε πρωταθλητή σε οποιοδήποτε τμήμα βάρους και θα ήταν η επόμενη άμυνα — και με επέλεξε. Δεν έφτασα τόσο μακριά στο παιχνίδι πυγμαχίας για να μην ξέρω πώς λειτουργεί, προωθούν έναν μεγάλο αγώνα μεταξύ της και της Katie Taylor και αυτή είναι η δεύτερη από τη συμφωνία τριών αγώνων της Amanda.

“Θα είναι η πρώτη μου φορά που αγωνίζομαι ως αουτσάιντερ ακόμα και ως σημερινός παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής, αλλά είμαι ενθουσιασμένος ως κόλαση. Όλοι γνωρίζουν ότι έχω τις μπάλες για αυτό. Μεγάλωσα με ένα σκληρό μαμά, Εμπιστέψου με – κανείς δεν με τρομάζει.”

“Είμαι πολύ ενθουσιασμένος που επέστρεψα στο δαχτυλίδι και ενθουσιασμένος που αγωνίζομαι τη Heather Hardy,” Είπε Serrano. “Η Χέδερ είναι 22-0 για κάποιο λόγο, βρίσκει πάντα έναν τρόπο να κερδίσει. We’ve sparred in the past and I’ve never had an easy day with her.

So many of the other champions vacated their belts to avoid fighting me but Heather is a true world champion who will not give up her belt.

We know each other well and I’m honored to fight her for her World title. It’s nothing personal, just business for two girls from Brooklyn in the ring.

“Την Παρασκευή, Σεπτέμβριος 13, seven-division world champion Amanda ‘The Real DealSerrano will attempt to wrest the WBO Featherweight title from undefeated champion Heather ‘The HeatHardy in what promises to be an explosive matchup,” δήλωσε ο Lou DiBella, Πρόεδρος του DiBella ψυχαγωγία. “Neither Hardy nor Serrano have ever been in a bad fight, both Brooklynites have passionate fan bases and are tremendous ambassadors for women’s boxing. Αυτός είναι ένας αγώνας που πρέπει να κερδίσετε και για τους δύο μπόξερ και θα κλέψει την παράσταση.”

Το τοπίο βαρέων βαρών παραμένει καυτό και υπάρχει υπέροχο 50-50 συγκρούστε την κάρτα καθώς ο Michael Hunter προκαλεί τον Sergey Kuzmin για τον τίτλο WBA Intercontinental. Κυνηγός (17-1 12 KOs) κατέχει το διεθνές λουρί με το WBA έχοντας τον KO’d Alexander Ustinov στο Μόντε Κάρλο το Νοέμβριο και το υπερασπίστηκε με ένα δεύτερο γύρο KO του Fabio Maldonado στο Μέριλαντ τον Μάιο. Ο 31 Η χρονιά αυξάνεται ταχύτατα στην κατάταξη και μπορεί να κάνει ένα τεράστιο άλμα προς τη δράση του παγκόσμιου τίτλου με μια νίκη, αλλά αντιμετωπίζει μια κρίσιμη πρόκληση με τη μορφή του Κουζμίν (15-0 11 KOs).

Ο αήττητος Ρώσος βάζει το λουράκι που κέρδισε στο Στάδιο Wembley στο Λονδίνο τον Σεπτέμβριο εναντίον του David Price και έριξε για πρώτη φορά τον LaRon Mitchell και μετά τον Joey Dawejko σε επιτυχημένες άμυνας στο Stateside. Με την κατάταξη του Kuzmin #5 και κυνηγός #8 με το WBA, ο νικητής στη Νέα Υόρκη θα χτυπήσει την πόρτα για έναν τίτλο, αυξάνοντας τα στοιχήματα σε αυτόν τον αγώνα, σε συνεργασία με το World of Boxing.

“Είμαι ενθουσιασμένος που πολεμάω τον Σεργκέι,” είπε ο Χάντερ. “Ξέρω ότι δεν πρόκειται να είναι ένας εύκολος αγώνας, αλλά είμαι σίγουρα έτοιμος για την πρόκληση και θέλω να δείξω στους ανθρώπους ότι είμαι ο καλύτερος στην κατηγορία.”

“Δούλεψα πολύ σκληρά για αυτήν την ευκαιρία,” είπε ο Κουζμίν. “Είμαι εδώ για να κερδίσω αυτόν τον αγώνα και μετά τον Παγκόσμιο τίτλο. Δεν με έχει σημασία αν αυτός ο αγώνας είναι στις ΗΠΑ ή στη Ρωσία, Είμαι πολύ σίγουρος για τη νίκη μου. Γνωρίζω τον αντίπαλό μου πολύ καλά, είναι καλός μπόξερ, αλλά μόνο ένας από εμάς θα κερδίσει.”

“Αυτός είναι ένας αγώνας μεταξύ δύο κορυφαίων δέκα προοπτικών, και οι δύο κατέχουν περιφερειακούς τίτλους,” είπε ο Vadim Kornilov του World of Boxing. “Αυτός ο αγώνας ελπίζουμε να είναι ένας εξολοθρευτής για το Παγκόσμιο πρωτάθλημα υποχρεωτικό.”

“Πρόκειται για μια λαμπρή παράσταση και μια μεγάλη ευκαιρία για τον Ντέβιν να κατακτήσει τη Νέα Υόρκη,” είπε ο υποστηρικτής Eddie Hearn. “Ο Abdullaev είναι ένας επικίνδυνος αήττητος μαχητής, αλλά ο Devin είναι έτοιμος για όλους τους ερχόμενους και θέλει να κερδίσει αυτόν τον αγώνα και μετά να πάει κατευθείαν στο Lomachenko εναντίον. Νικητής Campbell. Είναι τρελό να πιστεύεις ότι είναι δίκαιος 20 ετών – Νομίζω ότι είναι δίκαιο να πούμε ότι είναι ο πιο συναρπαστικός νεαρός μαχητής στον κόσμο αυτή τη στιγμή.

“Μυθιστόρημα εναντίον. Ο Akhmadaliev είναι ένας απόλυτος πόλεμος, Ο Ντάνι αρνήθηκε να εγκαταλείψει τη ζώνη και σαν πραγματικός πρωταθλητής θα αντιμετωπίσει έναν νεαρό άφοβο, σκληρό χτύπημα υποχρεωτικός αμφισβητίας που κάνει ένα τεράστιο άλμα μετά από μόλις έξι αγώνες.

“Η κατηγορία βαρέων βαρών είναι καυτή και ο Hunter v Kuzmin ίσως ένας από τους αγώνες της χρονιάς – μην αναβοσβήνετε σε αυτό! Μάλλον θα μπορούσαμε να γεμίσουμε αυτόν τον χώρο με Serrano vs. Μόνο ο Χάρντι, είναι ένας καταπληκτικός αγώνας για τη Νέα Υόρκη με το νικητή για τον καθοριστικό αγώνα της Katie Taylor στη συνέχεια. Μην χάσετε αυτήν την παράσταση!”

“Είμαστε ενθουσιασμένοι που ξεκινάμε την πολυάσχολη πτώση μας με την επιστροφή της προοπτικής του blue-chip Devin Haney στο DAZN,” είπε ο Joseph Markowski, DAZN EVP, Βόρεια Αμερική. “Το Matchroom έχει συγκεντρώσει μια στοίβα κάρτα για τους οπαδούς της μάχης της Νέας Υόρκης και όσους παρακολουθούν σε όλο τον κόσμο στο DAZN. Ετοιμάζουμε να κλείσουμε τον πρώτο μας χρόνο στην πυγμαχία με ένα χτύπημα και όλα ξεκινούν τον Σεπτέμβριο 13 στο θέατρο Hulu στο Madison Square Garden.”

Μια ανακοίνωση σχετικά με τις τιμές των εισιτηρίων και τις ημερομηνίες πώλησης θα γίνει αργότερα αυτήν την εβδομάδα.

ΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ – Αύγουστος 6, 2019 – Undisputed middleweight world champion Claressa Shields’ attempt at history has been rescheduled for Saturday, Οκτώβριος 5 ζουν σε SHOWTIME. Shields will aim to make history as the fastest fighter in boxing, αρσενικό ή θηλυκό, to become a three-division world champion when she takes on former world championIvana Habazin for the vacant WBO Junior Middleweight Title onSHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION (9 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ / 6 μ.μ. PT) from Dort Federal Event Center in Flint, μου.


The vacant WBC Women’s Diamond Super Welterweight Championship will also be on the line in Shieldsfirst professional fight in her hometown.
 
The homecoming fight was initially scheduled for August 17 and postponed in June after Shields suffered a minor injury to her right knee while doing roadwork.
 
Shields vs. Habazin is promoted by Salita Promotions. Tickets for the live event go on sale today/Tuesday, Αύγουστος 6 στο 2 μ.μ. ET and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com and at the Dort Center box office.
 
The 24-year-old Shields (9-0, 2 KOs) is a two-division titlist who became the undisputed middleweight champion with a near-shutout victory over Christina Hammer in April on SHOWTIME. In doing so, she joined Terrence Crawford, Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins, Oleksandr Usyk and Cecilia Braekhus as the only fighters to have unified all four major world titles in any weight class (Katie Taylor has since joined the prestigious list).
 
Τώρα, the Flint star seeks to make even more history in her sixth headlining appearance on SHOWTIME. With a win over Habazin, Shields would become a three-division champion in just 10 άκρα, breaking the record of Vasiliy Lomachenko, who accomplished the feat in 12 αγώνες.
 
I’m more excited than ever. Είμαι 100 percent recovered, and I can’t wait to get back in the ring and fight in front of my hometown fans in Flint as undisputed champion of the world,” δήλωσε ο Shields. “Having the opportunity to become world champion in a third weight division faster than any man or woman in boxing history will make October 5 a night I will cherish forever. It’s another big step in history, and giant step forward in lifting women’s boxing on the road to equality.
 
Habazin (20-3, 7 KOs), of Zagreb, Κροατία, is ranked No. 1 by the WBO at 154 λίρες. The 29-year-old, who will be making her U.S. ντεμπούτο, won the IBF Welterweight Title over Sabrina Giuliani in 2014. In her next fight, Habazin dropped a unanimous decision to Braekhus in a historic unification bout where Braekhus picked up all four major world title belts. Πιο πρόσφατα, Habazin avenged one of only three losses in her career to Eva Bajic in Zagreb.
 
It’s an honor and a dream to fight in the U.S. στην εθνική τηλεόραση,” Habazin said. “A lot of fighters never get this opportunity in their careers so I know I need to make the most of it. I’ve been training for this fight since June and the postponement has only given me more time to get ready. I intend to put my best effort forward to impress the fans and show that I am for real.
 
I am not just coming to fight for a world title, I am fighting for my life and my career. I believe I am the best and now I got the chance to prove that, and there is no better opponent for that than Claressa Shields.
 
Shields was the first American boxer in history – αρσενικό ή θηλυκό – to win consecutive Olympic gold medals. She turned professional following the 2016 Olympics and headlined the first women’s boxing main event in premium television history in just her second professional fight in 2017. Shields became unified women’s super middleweight world champion in just her fourth professional fight, and a two-division champion in her sixth professional contest. She was crowned the undisputed 160-pound champion in her ninth fight, less than three years after turning professional following the 2016 Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες.
 
From Christy Martin and Laila Ali to Cris Cyborg and Ronda Rousey, and now Claressa Shields, SHOWTIME has long been the pioneer in women’s combat sports,” said Gordon Hall, Executive Producer of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION.  “Without question, Claressa Shields is the face of women’s boxing and we’re excited to present yet another historic milestone in her career as she looks to capture a third division championship in record time. This is Claressa’s sixth appearance on SHOWTIME and yet another test as she continues her personal quest to become the greatest of all time.
 
With the new date, this fight is going to be even more significant,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. “Claressa has had time to get 100 percent healthy and in the best shape of her life as she goes down in weight to fight for another historic accomplishment. Αφ 'ετέρου, Ivana has used this extra time to prepare for Claressa both mentally and physically. She has remained in camp throughout the summer as she prepares to come to America to upset Claressa and fulfill what she feels is her destiny. It’s going to be two fighters at the top of their games.
 
“Οκτώβριος 5 will be a magnificent event for Claressa Shields, for women’s boxing, and for Claressa’s hometown city of Flint,” said Mark Taffet, manager of Claressa Shields. “Claressa continues to shine a beacon of light on the sport, making history in each and every fight and reaching levels previously unimaginable. She is a once in a lifetime athlete and young woman, and if she is victorious on October 5 she will become the fastest man or woman in boxing history to win a world title in a third weight division.
 
Barry Tompkins will call the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION action from ringside with boxing historian Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. Ο εκτελεστικός παραγωγός είναι Gordon Hall με την παραγωγή Richard Gaughan και Rick Phillips κατευθύνοντας.
 
The undercard for the telecast will be announced in the coming weeks.

“Ήταν υπέροχο να βλέπεις τους οπαδούς του San Antoinio να βγαίνουν και να υποστηρίζουν την πυγμαχία μας χθες το βράδυ. Ήθελα να κάνω μια δήλωση με μια νοκ-άουτ απόδοση, και ήμουν ευλογημένος να το παραδώσω. Η κοινότητα του μποξ και οι οπαδοί στο Σαν Αντόνιο είναι απίστευτα.

BROOKLYN (Αύγουστος 4, 2019) – Unbeaten Polish star and Brooklyn native Αδάμ Kownacki (20-0, 15 KOs) earned a unanimous decision over Chris “Ο εφιάλτης” Arreola (38-6-1, 33 KOs) in an all-action brawl in front of his hometown fans that headlined FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes Saturday night from Barclays Center, το σπίτι του Μπρούκλιν ΠΥΓΜΑΧΙΑ ™.

Kownacki and Arreola set the CompuBox heavyweight record for combined punches landed and thrown in a heavyweight fight. They landed a combined 667 γροθιές, besting the previous record of 650, while throwing 2,172 γροθιές, far surpassing the previous mark of 1,730.

Highlights from the fight can be found ΕΔΩ, ΕΔΩ και ΕΔΩ.

Chris is an Aztec warrior,” είπε Kownacki. “Είναι ένας μεγάλος μαχητής. I knew it would be a tough fight and I prepared for it. The CompuBox numbers prove it was a great fight.

Adam is relentless,” Είπε Arreola. “He just keeps coming. I know I got him with some good punches and he got me with some good ones. I was more than ready to go all 12, but Adam came in and won the fight.

The action began right from the first bell, as Kownacki charged at Arreola and immediately began exchanging as both men threw power punches in bunches. Kownacki worked off of his jab to initiate his offense, while Arreola was effectively able to counter his hard-charging opponent and respond every time he was hit with a combination.

I thought it was a good close fight but I knew I pulled it out,” είπε Kownacki. “I landed a lot of shots and that was enough to win. That’s all that matters.

Kownacki stunned Arreola in the early moments of round two but Arreola quickly responded to slow Kownacki’s momentum. Arreola found more and more success with his overhand right as the fight went, landing the punch numerous times in the fourth and fifth round especially.

Round six was a back and forth affair that featured a big offensive surge from Kownacki early in the round, before an exciting exchange at the end of the round saw both men take heavy punches.

I tried to follow up when I had him hurt but I was throwing two punches instead of three or four,” είπε Kownacki. “Props to Arreola because he proved he could still hang. I’m sure the fans would want to see him again.

The middle rounds saw Arreola pick up a hand injury, but it didn’t appear to slow him down much as his punch output continued to be strong for the second half of the fight. For Kownacki, it was his first time going past 10 rounds as a pro.

After the punches continued to fly through the last bell, the two heavyweights embraced in the ring prior to hearing the judges’ βαθμολογίες. Μετά 12 γύρους, all three judges saw the fight in favor of Kownacki, από τα αποτελέσματα των 117-11 δύο φορές και 118-110.

Retirement is something I need to talk to my family and team about,” Είπε Arreola. “I gave it my all this fight. I let it all hang out. After breaking my hand, I kept fighting because I believed I could win.

I just have to keep training hard, getting better and sharpening my skills,” είπε Kownacki. “We’ll see what the future holds. Hopefully next year I’ll get the title shot.

The co-main event saw former world champion Jean Pascal (34-6-1, 20 KOs) earn a narrow technical decision over previously unbeaten Μάρκους Μπράουν (23-1, 16 KOs) to capture the WBA interim light heavyweight title after an accidental headbutt ended the fight in round eight.

Boxing is boxing,” said Pascal. “We clashed heads, but at the end of the day, I was winning the round. I dropped him three times. Ήταν μια στενή μάχη, but I believe I was winning.

Browne appeared to be in control early, using his jab effectively and finishing his combos with power punches. Throughout the fight, Browne would land 52% of his power punches according to CompuBox.

Στη γύρω από τέσσερα, Pascal broke through landing a perfect right hand that connected with Browne as he threw his own right hook. Browne hit the canvas for the third time in his career, but was able to make it through the round.

Browne looked to have regained control of the fight until late in round seven when Pascal again connected on a powerful right hook that caught Browne during an exchange. Pascal jumped on Browne after he got to his feet and knocked him down a third time right before the bell ended round seven.

Montreal’s Pascal was looking to finish Browne in round eight, while Browne looked to effectively navigate the ring while recovering from the previous round. It was midway through the round that Pascal hit Browne with an accidental headbutt on the ropes that opened a cut over Browne’s left eye.

Referee Gary Rosato halted the bout 1:49 την έναρξη του γύρου, on the advice of the ringside physician, meaning the fight went to the scorecards. By winning the shortened eighth round on all three judges’ κάρτες, Pascal won the fight by the score of 75-74 τρεις φορές.

I could hear my daughter ringside and that was motivation for me,” said Pascal. “She was yelling my name all night long. I’m going to go home and talk to my team to see what is next. Canada has Drake, the NBA Champions and now I’m bringing the belt home.

Browne was unavailable for post fight comments as he was taken to NYU Lutheran Medical Center due to the cut.

The opening bout on FOX saw Wale Omotoso (28-4, 22 KOs) drop Curtis Stevens(30-7, 22 KOs) three times on his way to a third round stoppage victory in their super welterweight clash.

For Stevens it was his first fight at 154-pounds, and he was tested at the new weight from the outset. Omotoso began moving and jabbing around the ring as Stevens stalked him and tried to throw power punches to slow his movement. Late in the first round, Omotoso broke through with a right hand to the side of Stevenshead that dropped him in the middle of the ring.

My coach told me to keep my hands up, be patient, box him and jab,” said Omotoso. “He told me I shouldn’t push it and that when the opening was there, I’d take it. That’s exactly what happened.

He hit me with an overhand right in the first round that knocked my equilibrium,” said Stevens. “But that didn’t really affect me too much. I wasn’t stepping enough into my punches, I was reaching. I got caught when I was reaching.

In round two Omotoso landed a perfect jab on Stevens, as his opponent was throwing a left hook, that sent him down for the second time in the fight. Stevens again made it through the round, and began the next frame trapping Omotoso in the corner and connecting on power punches.

I was just letting my hands go,” said Omotoso. “On the second knockdown my confidence grew. I was glad to get the victory by knockout.

While Stevens was able to own the early moments of the third round, Omotoso hit him with a three punch combo that featured left hook, left uppercut and then straight right hand that put Stevens down for the third time. Stevens got to his feet but referee Johnny Callas halted the bout at 1:28 του τρίτου γύρου.

I was okay but the referee has to do his job,” said Stevens. “I was down three times so I know he was looking out for my best interests.

I didn’t expect it to go exactly like that,” said Omotoso. “I was just listening to my coach. The second knockdown was actually with my jab. I have to talk to my team about what’s next. I’m thankful for this opportunity. I’m so happy to have this win. Give me anybody next, Είμαι έτοιμος.”

The fighters were joined on stage by former lineal heavyweight champion Michael Spinks. Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from the Brooklyn Marriott:

ΑΔΑΜ Kownacka

This is one of my dreams coming true. Since the amateurs I’ve wanted to fight at Barclays Center and on Saturday night I’m the main event. I couldn’t be more excited

I’ve been pushed hard in training camp and I can’t wait to show everyone all of my work on Saturday. The key is going to be jabbing in and throwing my punches in bunches like I always do.

This is a new experience for me being the headliner, but in the ring it doesn’t matter. It’s just two guys fighting each other. We both love to fight. I can’t wait to get it over with and punch him in the face.

Chris Arreola is a warrior. You always know that when Chris fights, it’s a good fight. But I’m going to test how much he has left in the gas tank. Chris has been in there with three champions and when I take care of business on Saturday, I’ll be one step closer to being world champion.

It’s truly a great feeling to have all this support from my fans here. These fans are trusting me to bring the title back to Brooklyn and to Poland.

Barclays Center has been my boxing home. Ανυπομονώ να μπω στο ρινγκ. This is a tough fight and I have to make sure I send the fans home happy.

This definitely has Fight of the Year written all over it. Neither of us are afraid to let our hands go and no matter what happens, the fans are going to be winners on Saturday.

Chris Arreola

I understand that Adam is the favorite because he’s undefeated and fighting in his hometown. Στο τέλος της ημέρας, none of that matters to me. I’m going to give it my all for this fight.

I’m carefree right now. I have no stress. Αν χάσω, I’m okay with walking way. But I’m not here to do that. I’m here to win.

“Ξέρω ότι έχω έναν σκληρό αντίπαλο μπροστά μου. I have my work cut out for me. But ‘The Nightmareis going to keep going.

I went to Joe Goossen as my trainer because I knew it was time to make a change. I have to make this last run count. This is the best team I could imagine. Joe makes you work on your mistakes. I believe the winner of this fight is whoever takes advantage of the first mistake.

I respect everybody outside of the ring, but once we’re in the ring, I’m not friends with anyone. We’ll shake hands after the final bell, but I’m here to put on a show. It’s lights, φωτογραφική μηχανή, action and time to shine.

He’s a volume puncher. He just keeps coming and he’s smiling at you the whole time. Στο τέλος της ημέρας, I’m going to put a frown on his face Saturday.

My prediction is that the fans are going to get their money’s worth. You better record this one, because you’re going to watch it again and again. I’m going to come out with my hand raised.

ΜΑΡΚΟΣ BROWNE

Being in training in Colorado really lets me get attuned to my game plan. It’s just waking up every day and working with that same mentality where I’m focused on nothing but the fight. It’s all about going in there and getting that win.

I’m going to punish Pascal on Saturday. If the knockout is how he wants to go, I’ll be ready. I promise I’m going to beat him for 12 γύρους.

It feels great to be here defending my belt. I’ll be in a better position after this fight. I’m going to make a statement in this fight and put Pascal in his place.

Pascal is a guy who doesn’t come to lay down, he comes to beat you. That’s what the sport is about. You have to fight guys of that stature if you’re not fighting champions.

A win on Saturday puts me in contention to fight for a world title next. That’s my focus, but before that, it’s about Jean Pascal and taking care of him the right way.

This is a great card for New York with me, Adam and Curtis all representing our home city. It’s great for us to be in this position together.

JEAN PASCAL

Marcus has been saying that he’s going to go in there and try to knock me out, but I’m no amateur. I know what his game plan is going to be. He’s going to run around the ring and try to hold. We all know he’s the best at running like a chicken.

When I was Marcus’ ηλικία, I was already a world champion. He was watching me on TV when he was at the Olympics.

How is he going to knock me out? I think without the cut that Badou Jack had in their fight, he would have knocked Marcus out.

“Είμαι έτοιμος. I’m a solid fighter. I’ve fought the best, so I don’t think Marcus will be able to knock me out.

I’m too good all-around for Marcus. This is my chance to show that I still have a lot of gas left in the tank. I’m still good enough to fight at the very top level of the sport.

CURTIS STEVENS

This is my first time fighting at Barclays Center, and I’m going to give the fans a taste of what they’ve been missing.

I decided that I’d go down to 154-pounds because my camp has a lot of the top 160-pound fighters so we were getting in each other’s way. There are a lot of opportunities for me in this weight class as well.

No matter what has happened in my career, I have always come back. I’m mentally always ready to bounce back. I’ve had layoffs in my career, but I know that I’m going to get where I need to be.

Nobody calls me out because they know I can punch. I’m too risky for the top fighters because they know there’s a chance they get knocked out.

It’s incredible to have this opportunity to fight at Barclays Center for the first time. It’s going to be a good time for me and all the fans.

Αρχική Omotoso

I’m not worried about Stevens being at a new weight. I don’t think it’s going to affect him that much. Το Σάββατο, we’re both going to do our best to get the win.

He’s a big puncher who brawls. But I’m a big puncher too. He’s been there and fought everybody, but I’m going to show the world what I can do.

I think this is going to be a toe-to-toe fight. There might be some feeling out, but as the fight goes on and we get into the middle rounds, it’s going to be fought in the middle of the ring.

I’ve trained well for this fight and had sparring with lots of different fighters. The different styles that I’ve seen throughout camp will have me prepared for anything Stevens shows me on Saturday night.
