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

Zostaw komentarz
Colorado Springs, Zakładka. (Sierpień 19, 2019) – Milwaukee isn’t known as one of the leading producers of world-class boxers, jednak, Team USA middleweight
Javier Martinez may be the rare exception.


“Milwaukee isn’t really a great place for boxing,” Martinez agreed, “ale (trener) Izzy Acosta always had a great program that produced a lot of national champions. Mam nadzieję, że, 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 Rick “The Jet” Rufus. There have been a few Milwaukee boxers of note over the years, Łącznie Myron “Pinky” Mitchell, who became the first junior welterweight champion of the world in 1922, Robert “Jaskiniowiec” Moha (1910-15), former national champion Tyrone “The Butterfly” Trice, 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, Wrzesień 7-21, in Yekaterinburg, Rosja.

“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, który zwraca 24 sierpnia 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 punchin’ his way to the top.

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

Zostaw komentarz
The incredible rebirth of Albany, New York’s Mikey “Baby Face” Faragon (19-1, 9 KO) is complete and he will return to action in a six-rounder tonight, Piątek, Sierpień 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. Na zdjęciu powyżej, prawo, 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

Zostaw komentarz

Colorado Springs, Zakładka. (Sierpień 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, szczególnie boks, 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 ale, w 2014, the year of my retirement, that figure was $417,000. Cadets are trained to go forward and serve. They fly, walka, 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, oczywiście, 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 heads, Col. Don Peterson iCol. Larry Fariss, and two athletic directors who were instrumental to our support and success, Col. John Clune iCol. 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 i 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 na świecie, and that is a direct result of Coach Walsh.”

Weichers joined the USA Boxing Alumni Association because he is a huge supporter ofJohn Brown, 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, powiedzenie, “We’re solid going into 2020. The key to success, moim zdaniem, 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 SEPTEMBER 13 AT THE HULU THEATER IN NYC

Zostaw komentarz
Sierpień 6, 2019 – Devin Haney can take a giant leap towards World title glory when he faces fellow unbeaten star Zaur Abdullaev in a final eliminator for the WBC World Lightweight title on Friday September 13 at the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden, Nowy Jork, live on DAZN in the US and on Sky Sports in the UK.

Haney (22-0 14 KO) made an electrifying debut with Matchroom Boxing USA and DAZN in May, destroying Antonio Moran with a KO of the year contender in the seventh round of their clash in Maryland. The 20 year old fights in the Big Apple for the first time in his career and the Las Vegas native, w rankingu #2 with the WBC, hits Manhattan for his biggest fight yet in association with DHP Promotions and Titov Boxing.

Abdullaev (11-0 7 KO) jest w rankingu #3 with the WBC having landed the Silver Lightweight strap in just his ninth pro outing in April 2018, and the highly rated and dangerous Russian registered his 11th pro win and seventh inside the distance in February, stopping Humberto Martinez in Ekaterinburg, and now fights outside his homeland for the first time in his career.

The WBC crown will be in the hands of either Vasiliy Lomachenko or Luke Campbell MBE when the clash at The O2 in London on August 31, with Haney and Abdullaev keenly observing that clash from their training camps become locking horns on September 13.

“It always feels good when I get the official date,” said Haney. “I stay in the gym because I’m a dog and I love to fight. I want the world to see me rise to my competition. The better they are the better I am. I’m fighting an undefeated fighter at Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.

“fani New York są jednymi z najbardziej lojalnych fanów sportu i nie mogę się doczekać, aby naprawdę wprowadzenie na pokazie dla nich. Abdullaev lubi naciskać i nic mniej września spodziewać 13. Widziałem jego walki i że jest głodny fighter, nie ma wątpliwości, że to mój najtrudniejszy przeciwnik na bieżąco. Ta walka jest krok od Światowego tytułowej walce więc oboje mamy sporo na linii.

“Abdullaev nie ma wielkiego nazwiska, ale on w rankingu #3 z powodu, i nie mam go ani nikogo innego, który stoi w drodze schylając. Jestem błogosławiony mieć ogromne wsparcie od DAZN i Eddie Hearn. Dzięki tej współpracy mam okazję walczyć z najlepszymi na świecie. I encourage everyone in NYC to buy their tickets or get the DAZN App and watch my growth into the next superstar in boxing. This fight is going to be lit!”

“I’m delighted that the fight is happening,” said Abdullaev. “I was panicking when I saw some posts from Haney on social media that nobody wants to fight him at 135lbs, and he might have to move up in weight. I kept biting my nails and really wanted to get engaged but been told to stay patient. Allah the gracious has delivered this fight and now its reality.

“I am a bit disappointed that the fight won’t be at Haney’s Las Vegas back yard as it would have been great to dethrone him in front of his home crowed, but New York is a great boxing city. I’m not silly and I do understand that I’m coming as an underdog but on September 13, I’m coming to crash the hype against all odds.”

WBA and IBF World Super-Bantamweight champion Daniel Roman leads a stacked undercard in a mouth-watering chief-support bout as he takes on lethal WBA mandatory challenger Murodjon Akhmadaliev. Rzymianin (27-2-1 10 KO) unified his WBA crown with the IBF strap of Irishman TJ Doheny in a fight of the year contender at home in Los Angeles in April, a fifth World title win on the bounce a fourth inside 14 months for the 29 roku życia.

Roman’s fifth defense of his WBA crown pits him against dangerous Uzbek talent Akhmadaliev (6-0 5 KO) – the highly decorated amateur has looked fearsome in ending five of his six pro outings to date inside the distance, z 25 year old’s last win coming on the same LA bill as Roman’s dust-up with Doheny. Roman vs. Akhmadaliev is brought to you in association with Thompson Boxing and World of Boxing.

“Anyone that knows me understands that I’m a real fighter,” said Roman. “I’ll fight anyone they put in front of me. Akhmadaliev is hungry, ale tak, jestem. It wasn’t that long ago [2017] when I challenged for the WBA title so we’re not going to give it up. I’m here to fight and defend the WBA belt once more. I have two belts [WBA i IBF], but I want more. My goal is to get all of them so by no means am I overlooking Akhmadaliev. He has that amateur pedigree, can punch with power and likes to come forward. The second you underestimate someone, that’s when bad things happen. I’ll be ready for whatever he brings.

“As a unified champion, I understand that I have a target on my back. That’s why I’ve been in the gym, staying sharp like I always do. There’s no time to relax and look back at what I’ve done because my work isn’t finished.”

“Danny is among the most committed and disciplined World champions out there,” said Ken Thompson, president of Thompson Boxing Promotions. “He relishes challenges and at this point in his career, he only wants the toughest and biggest fights. Akhmadaliev is a young and dangerous opponent, but Danny has all the tools to continue his reign as the best talent in the division. We’re confident that he’ll deliver another excellent performance and retain his WBA title for the fifth time.”

“Jestem bardzo zadowolony, że Daniel Roman wziął tę walkę,” Said Akhmadaliev. “Wiem, że obaj jesteśmy wojownikami i to będzie prawdziwa wojna! Nie przegap tej walki!”

“Czekaliśmy do tej walki przez jakiś czas,” mówi Vadim Kornilov z World of Boxing. “Wierzę, że z woli, postać, i moc obu tych facetów, Ta walka będzie walka roku kandydata.”

Jest więcej Świat tytuł działania na rachunku jako wyzwanie rekordowe siedem-weight Mistrz świata WBO Amanda Serrano Świat piórkowej mistrz Heather Hardy w aferze wszystko Brooklyn, Dostarczone przez Dibella Entertainment we współpracy z Matchroom bokserski USA.

Serrano (36-1-1 27 KO) conquered her seventh weight class at the Hulu Theater in title in January when the Puerto Rican destroyed Eva Voraberger inside the opening round to claim the vacant WBO Super-Flyweight title.

Serrano held the WBO Featherweight strap in 2016 before vacating it then her sister Cindy picked it up later that year. Wytrzymały (22-0 4 KO) was next in line to win the vacant title in October in a rematch against Shelley Vincent in the Hulu Theater. Hardy put boxing on hold to return to MMA in June with an outing at Bellator 222 at Madison Square Garden but returns to boxing to go head-to-head with her fellow Brooklynite.

“We found out in February that as a super-champion Amanda could call out any champion in any weight division and she would be the next defense — and she chose me. I didn’t get this far in the boxing game to not know how it works, they’re hyping up a big fight between her and Katie Taylor and this is the second of Amanda’s three-fight deal.

“It will be my first time competing as an underdog even as the current world champion but I’m excited as hell. Everyone knows I have the balls for it. I grew up with a tough mamma, Zaufaj mi – nobody scares me.”

“I’m very excited to be back in the ring and excited to be fighting Heather Hardy,” Said Serrano. “Heather is 22-0 z powodu, she always finds a way to win. 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.”

“Piątek, Wrzesień 13, seven-division world champion Amanda ‘The Real Deal’ Serrano will attempt to wrest the WBO Featherweight title from undefeated champion Heather ‘The Heat’ Hardy in what promises to be an explosive matchup,” powiedział Lou DiBella, Prezes Dibella Entertainment. “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. This is a must-win fight for both boxers and will steal the show.”

The Heavyweight landscape remains a hot one and there’s a great 50-50 clash on the card as Michael Hunter challenges Sergey Kuzmin for the WBA Intercontinental title. Łowca (17-1 12 KO) holds the International strap with the WBA having KO’d Alexander Ustinov in Monte Carlo in November and defended that with a second round KO of Fabio Maldonado in Maryland in May. The 31 year old is rapidly rising in the rankings and can take a huge leap towards World title action with a win but faces a crunch challenge in the form of Kuzmin (15-0 11 KO).

The unbeaten Russian puts the strap he won at Wembley Stadium in London in September against David Price and first saw off LaRon Mitchell and then Joey Dawejko in successful Stateside defenses. With Kuzmin ranked #5 and Hunter #8 with the WBA, the victor in New York will be knocking on the door for a title shot, raising the stakes in this pick’em match-up, in association with World of Boxing.

“I’m excited to be fighting Sergey,” said Hunter. “I know that this is not going to be an easy fight, but I am definitely up for the challenge and I want to show people that I am the best in the division.”

“I have worked very hard for this opportunity,” said Kuzmin. “I am here to win this fight and go after the World title. It doesn’t matter to me whether this fight is in the USA or in Russia, I am very confident in my victory. I know my opponent very well, he’s a good boxer, but only one of us is going to be victorious.”

“This is a fight between two top ten prospects, both hold regional titles,” said Vadim Kornilov of World of Boxing. “This fight will hopefully be an eliminator for the World championship mandatory.”

“This is a brilliant show and a big chance for Devin to take NYC by storm,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “Abdullaev is a dangerous undefeated fighter but Devin is ready for all comers and wants to win this fight and then go straight into the Lomachenko vs. Campbell winner. It’s crazy to believe he is just 20 roku życia – I think it’s fair to say he is the most exciting young fighter in the world right now.

“Roman vs. Akhmadaliev is an absolute war, Danny refused to vacate the belt and like a true champion will face a young fearless, hard hitting mandatory challenger who is taking a giant leap after just six fights.

“The Heavyweight division is red hot and Hunter v Kuzmin maybe one of the match ups of the year – do not blink on this one! We probably could have filled this venue with Serrano vs. Hardy alone, it’s an amazing fight for NYC with the winner set for a defining Katie Taylor fight next. Do not miss this show!”

“We are excited to kick off our busy fall line-up with the return of blue-chip prospect Devin Haney on DAZN,” said Joseph Markowski, DAZN EVP, North America. “Matchroom has put together a stacked card for New York fight fans and those watching around the world on DAZN. We are preparing to close out our first year in boxing with a bang and it all starts September 13 at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.”

An announcement on ticket prices and on-sale dates will be made later this week.

Najciekawsze momenty walki można znaleźć TUTAJ, TUTAJ i TUTAJ.

“Chris jest azteckim wojownikiem,” said Kownacki. “On jest wielkim wojownikiem. Wiedziałem, że to będzie ciężka walka i przygotowałem się na nią. Liczby CompuBox dowodzą, że była to świetna walka.”

“Adam jest nieugięty,” Said Arreola. “On po prostu ciągle przychodzi. Wiem, że trafiłem na niego z kilkoma dobrymi ciosami, a on dostał mnie z kilkoma dobrymi. Byłem więcej niż gotowy na wszystko 12, ale Adam wszedł i wygrał walkę.”

Akcja rozpoczęła się od pierwszego dzwonka, gdy Kownacki zaatakował Arreola i natychmiast zaczął się wymieniać, gdy obaj mężczyźni rzucali ciosami mocy w pęczki. Kownacki odpracował cios, aby zainicjować przestępstwo, podczas gdy Arreola był w stanie skutecznie skontrować swojego mocno szarżującego przeciwnika i odpowiedzieć za każdym razem, gdy został trafiony kombinacją.

“Myślałem, że to dobra walka na bliski dystans, ale wiedziałem, że ją wyciągnąłem,” said Kownacki. “Oddałem dużo strzałów i to wystarczyło, aby wygrać. Tylko to się liczy.”

Kownacki oszołomił Arreolę we wczesnych momentach drugiej rundy, ale Arreola szybko zareagowała na spowolnienie tempa Kownackiego. Arreola odnosił coraz większe sukcesy z prawą ręką podczas walki, wielokrotne wymierzanie ciosu, zwłaszcza w czwartej i piątej rundzie.

Szósta runda była mieszanką, która charakteryzowała się dużą ofensywą ze strony Kownackiego na początku rundy, przed ekscytującą wymianą pod koniec rundy obaj mężczyźni zadają ciężkie ciosy.

“Próbowałem śledzić, kiedy go zraniłem, ale zadałem dwa ciosy zamiast trzech lub czterech,” said Kownacki. “Rekwizyty do Arreoli, bo udowodnił, że wciąż potrafi wisieć. Jestem pewien, że fani chcieliby go ponownie zobaczyć.”

W środkowych rundach Arreola doznała kontuzji ręki, ale wydawało się, że nie spowalnia go to zbytnio, ponieważ jego moc ciosów nadal była silna przez drugą połowę walki. For Kownacki, to był jego pierwszy raz, kiedy minął 10 rundy jako pro.

Po tym, jak ciosy nadal przelatywały przez ostatni dzwon, dwaj ważniacy obejmowani na ringu przed przesłuchaniem sędziów’ wyniki. Po 12 Rundy, wszyscy trzej sędziowie widzieli walkę na korzyść Kownackiego, przez dziesiątki 117-11 dwa razy i 118-110.

“Emerytura to coś, o czym muszę porozmawiać z rodziną i zespołem,” Said Arreola. “Dałem z siebie całą tę walkę. Pozwolę temu wszystko spędzić. Po złamaniu ręki, Walczyłem dalej, bo wierzyłem, że mogę wygrać.”

“Po prostu muszę ciężko trenować, coraz lepiej i doskonalić swoje umiejętności,” said Kownacki. “Zobaczymy, co przyniesie przyszłość. Mam nadzieję, że w przyszłym roku dostanę tytułowy strzał.”

W współgłównym wydarzeniu uczestniczył były mistrz świata Jean Pascal (34-6-1, 20 KO) zdobyć wąską techniczną decyzję o wcześniej niepokonanych Marcus Browne (23-1, 16 KO) zdobyć tymczasowy tytuł WBA w wadze półciężkiej po przypadkowym uderzeniu głową, które zakończyło walkę w ósmej rundzie.

“Boks to boks,” powiedział Pascal. “Zderzyliśmy się głowami, ale pod koniec dnia, Wygrywałem rundę. Upuściłem go trzy razy. Było blisko walki, ale wierzę, że wygrywałem.”

Browne wydawał się wcześnie przejąć kontrolę, efektywnego ciosu i wykańczania combosów mocnymi ciosami. Przez całą walkę, Browne wyląduje 52% jego mocy ciosów według CompuBox.

W czwartej rundzie, Pascal przedarł się przez lądowanie idealną prawą ręką, która połączyła się z Brownem, gdy rzucił własnym prawym sierpowym. Browne po raz trzeci w swojej karierze trafił na płótno, ale udało mu się przejść przez rundę.

Browne wyglądał, jakby odzyskał kontrolę nad walką do późnej rundy siódmej, kiedy Pascal ponownie trafił na potężny prawy hak, który złapał Browne'a podczas wymiany. Pascal wskoczył na Browne'a po tym, jak wstał i powalił go po raz trzeci tuż przed zakończeniem dzwonka w rundzie siódmej.

Pascal z Montrealu chciał ukończyć Browne w rundzie ósmej, podczas gdy Browne szukał sposobu na skuteczne poruszanie się po ringu podczas odzyskiwania z poprzedniej rundy. W połowie rundy Pascal uderzył Browne'a przypadkowym uderzeniem głową w liny, co otworzyło przecięcie nad lewym okiem Browne'a..

Sędzia Gary Rosato zatrzymał walkę 1:49 w rundzie, za radą lekarza przy ringu, co oznacza, że ​​walka trafiła na karty wyników. Wygrywając skróconą ósmą rundę na wszystkich trzech sędziach’ Karty, Pascal wygrał walkę wynikiem 75-74 trzykrotnie.

“Słyszałem moją córkę przy ringu i to było dla mnie motywacją,” powiedział Pascal. “Wykrzykiwała moje imię przez całą noc. Wrócę do domu i porozmawiam z zespołem, żeby zobaczyć, co dalej. Kanada ma Drake, Mistrzów NBA, a teraz przynoszę pas do domu.”

Browne był niedostępny dla komentarzy po walce, ponieważ został zabrany do NYU Lutheran Medical Center z powodu cięcia.

Otwarcie na piły FOX Wale Omotoso (28-4, 22 KO) upuszczać Curtis Stevens(30-7, 22 KO) trzy razy na swojej drodze do wygranej w trzeciej rundzie przestoju w ich starciu w wadze super półśredniej.

Dla Stevensa była to jego pierwsza walka przy wadze 154 funtów, i od początku był testowany w nowej wadze. Omotoso zaczął się poruszać i dźgać wokół ringu, gdy Stevens podchodził do niego i próbował rzucać mocne ciosy, aby spowolnić jego ruchy. Pod koniec pierwszej rundy, Omotoso przebił się prawą ręką w stronę Stevensa’ głowa, która upuściła go na środek ringu.

“Mój trener kazał mi trzymać ręce w górze, bądź cierpliwy, włóż go i jab,” powiedział Omotoso. “Powiedział mi, że nie powinienem tego naciskać i że kiedy był otwór, wziąłbym to. Dokładnie tak się stało.”

“Uderzył mnie overhandem w prawo w pierwszej rundzie, co wytrąciło mnie z równowagi,” powiedział Stevens. “Ale to nie wpłynęło na mnie zbytnio. Nie wchodziłem wystarczająco w moje ciosy, dochodzę. Zostałem złapany, kiedy sięgnąłem.”

W drugiej rundzie Omotoso trafił Stevensa perfekcyjnym ciosem, gdy jego przeciwnik rzucał lewym sierpowym, który powalił go po raz drugi w walce. Stevens ponownie przeszedł przez rundę, i zacząłem następną ramkę, łapiąc Omotoso w kącie i łącząc się na ciosach mocy.

“Po prostu puściłem moje ręce,” powiedział Omotoso. “Przy drugim powaleniu moja pewność siebie wzrosła. Cieszyłem się, że odniosłem zwycięstwo przez nokaut.”

Podczas gdy Stevens był w stanie opanować wczesne momenty trzeciej rundy, Omotoso uderzył go kombinacją trzech ciosów z lewym sierpowym, lewy górny cios, a potem prosta prawa ręka, która powaliła Stevensa po raz trzeci. Stevens wstał, ale sędzia Johnny Callas zatrzymał walkę w 1:28 trzeciej rundzie.

“Było dobrze, ale sędzia musi wykonać swoją pracę,” powiedział Stevens. “Byłem na dole trzy razy, więc wiem, że dbał o moje dobro.”

“Nie spodziewałam się, że tak się potoczy,” powiedział Omotoso. “Właśnie słuchałem mojego trenera. Drugie powalenie było właściwie moim ciosem. Muszę porozmawiać z moim zespołem o tym, co dalej. Dziękuję za tę możliwość. Tak się cieszę z tej wygranej. Daj mi kogoś następnego, Jestem gotowy.”

The press conference also featured fighters competing in action beginning at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT as unbeaten WBA interim light heavyweight champion “Pan” Marcus Brownei były mistrz Jean Pascal, plus Brooklyn’s Curtis Stevens i Wale Omotoso, all faced-off ahead of their respective matchups Saturday night.

Bilety na imprezę, która jest promowana przez TGB Promocje, są już w sprzedaży i można je kupić na Ticketmaster.com. Bilety można również kupić w American Express Box Office w Barclays Center.

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:

ADAM KOWNACKI

“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. I can’t wait to get in the ring. 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. Na koniec dnia, 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. Jeśli przegram, I’m okay with walking way. But I’m not here to do that. I’m here to win.

“Wiem, że mam trudny przeciwnik przede mną. I have my work cut out for me. But ‘The Nightmare’ is 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, kamera, action and time to shine.

“He’s a volume puncher. He just keeps coming and he’s smiling at you the whole time. Na koniec dnia, 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.”

MARCUS 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, Bede gotowy. I promise I’m going to beat him for 12 Rundy.

“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’ wiek, 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.

“Jestem gotowy. 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.”

Strona główna OMOTOSO

“I’m not worried about Stevens being at a new weight. I don’t think it’s going to affect him that much. W sobotę, 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.”
