Mais recentemente, "Pitbull" derrotado Daniel Weichel, superando seu oponente por decisão dividida em Bellator 203 em Roma. Depois de terminar em 20 da sua 27 ganha como um profissional, o atual campeão se tornou sinônimo de emoção e os fãs certamente podem esperar mais fogos de artifício quando ele entrar na gaiola em Nov. 15.

Com sua última derrota ocorrida há mais de dois anos e com vitórias recentes sobre ex-campeões do Bellator Daniel Straus e Marcos Galvão, bem como Sam Sicilia, pode não haver outro atleta na lista do Bellator mais merecedor de uma luta pelo título do que o produto da Academia Roufusport.

O lutador israelense lutará mais uma vez com Ryan Couture em novembro. 15, após um thriller de três rodadas em Bellator 180 verão passado. Lutando com o Bat Yam, Israel, "Batman" favorece eventos em território nacional, conquistando duas finalizações na primeira rodada de vitórias em cada uma de suas duas lutas na Arena Menora Mivtachim. Agora, com sete de suas oito vitórias na carreira chegando por finalização, o ex-soldado do exército israelense espera manter sua revanche com Couture fora das mãos dos juízes.
Couture parece duplicar o sucesso que teve em sua primeira luta com Gozali, quando ele obteve uma vitória por decisão unânime no Madison Square Garden em junho passado. Um veterano do UFC e da STRIKEFORCE, Couture apareceu seis vezes na gaiola do Bellator e voltará ao peso médio na esperança de conseguir a 12ª vitória de sua carreira. Um membro da Xtreme Couture em Las Vegas, o nativo de Seattle procurará desempenhar o papel de spoiler de Gozali quando as duas revanche em Tel Aviv.

Um protegido do peso pesado Bellator Fedor Emelianenko, Nemkov quer aproveitar seu par de vitórias por nocaute, que inclui uma vitória sobre o ex-campeão dos meio-pesados Liam McGeary em Bellator 194. Com oito de suas nove vitórias na carreira em paralisação na primeira rodada, o ex-campeão mundial do Sambo não perde muito tempo dentro da gaiola. Sua capacidade de terminar lutas será testada quando ele conhecer Davis, um atleta que ainda não terminou sua carreira.
Olga Rubin, peso-pena das mulheres israelenses, recua pela gaiola Bellator pela terceira vez e coloca sua sequência invicta em jogo em seu país de origem. Com suas vitórias promocionais anteriores em Bellator 164 e Bellator 188 vindo via TKO, "Big Bad" desenvolveu uma reputação como uma das perspectivas mais perigosas da divisão. Agora, ela está pronta para enfrentar Cindy Dandois, veterana do UFC e do Invicta FC., que possui vitórias sobre Marloes Coenen, Jorina Baars e Megan Anderson.

NOVA IORQUE (Agosto 20, 2018) – Top undefeated lightweight prospect Devin Haney will face three-time world title challenger Imagem de espaço reservado de Juan Carlos Burgos no principal evento de 10 ronda de um ShoBox: A Nova Geração tripleheader Friday Sept. 28 viver ALTURA DE COMEÇAR (10 p.m. ET / PT) from Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Califa.
The 19-year-old Haney (19-0, 13 KOs) returns for his second consecutive challenge of 2018 em ShoBox, this time against Burgos (33-2-2, 21 KOs), um veterano de 37 fights whose only defeats have come in world championship bouts.
The co-feature of the second Friday of back-to-back ShoBox telecasts will feature an immediate rematch of one of 2018’s most controversial and widely disputed fights. Lightweights Thomas Mattice (13-0, 10 KOs) e Zhora Hamazaryan (9-1, 6 KOs) will face off less than three months after judges in Iowa awarded Mattice what Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood called “the worst decision I’ve seen in the history of ShoBox.”
Two undefeated middleweight prospects will meet in the opening bout of the tripleheader as Cem Kilic (11-0, 7 KOs) e Donnie Marshall (9-0, 6 KOs) face off in the ninth matchup of undefeated prospects of 2018 em ShoBox: A Nova Geração.
“Devin Haney exceeded all expectations on ShoBox in May and he’s returning in another step-up fight against a three-time world title challenger,” Disse Gordon Hall, Produtor Executivo daShoBox: A Nova Geração. “Haney is already one of the best prospects in boxing, and a victory against Burgos could put him in a position for a title shot in 2019.

Devin Haney vs. Imagem de espaço reservado de Juan Carlos Burgos – 10-round lightweight bout
Haney was a seven-time national junior amateur champion and has been considered one of boxing’s top prospects since turning professional at the age of 16 no México. He faced the toughest test of his career this May on ShoBox, shutting out Mason Menard over nine rounds before Menard’s corner threw in the towel before the start of the 10th e última rodada. VIDEO:https://youtu.be/1NM2lOWdzHw
The young and flashy Haney, who grew up in Oakland, Calif., fights out of Las Vegas, where he has earned a reputation as a prodigy having sparred with Floyd Mayweather, Shawn Porter, Jessie Vargas and Rances Barthelemy. Haney, who is trained and managed by his father, William Haney, received a special exception to make his U.S. debut on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley III when he was just 17 anos.
“Burgos is a tough fighter who has been in several world title fights, so I know he’s going to be ready for war,” Haney said. “He’s been in with Mikey Garcia and Rocky Martinez, so I know he’s my toughest opponent to date. I’m ready to shine once again on SHOWTIME, give the fans another great performance and prove I’m ready to take the next step.”
Burgos ran up a 25-0 registro com 19 KOs to start his professional career before earning a world title shot when he was just 22 anos, dropping a decision to Hozumi Hasegawa in 2010 no Japão. O Tijuana, Mexico native went unbeaten in his next seven fights, including a draw in a title challenge against then-WBO Junior Lightweight World Champion Roman Martinez.
Burgos challenged 130-pound champion Mikey Garcia in 2014, losing a unanimous decision against the pound-for-pound mainstay. He has since won three consecutive bouts from 2016-17 after taking a nearly three-year hiatus from boxing.
“Devin Haney is good fighter but my experience in big fights will be the difference when we step in the ring,” Burgos said. “My back is against the wall and I’m ready to rise to the occasion and get this victory. He might think he’s the next big thing, but I’m at a whole different level.”
Thomas Mattice vs. Zhora Hamazaryan II – Eight-round lightweight bout
Mattice and Hamazaryan initially faced off in a matchup of unbeaten prospects on July 20, with the judges in Iowa awarding Mattice a 76-76, 76-75, 77-74 decisão dividida. The result, contudo, was widely disputed. Hamazaryan floored Mattice in the second round and pressed the action in the final three rounds before leaving the decision in the judges’ mãos. Two days after the fight, Thompson Boxing and Banner Promotions appealed the decision on behalf of their fighter, Hamazaryan.
The 28-year-old Mattice, de Cleveland, had scored five consecutive knockouts before winning the split decision over Hamazaryan. This will be Mattice’s third ShoBox appearance of the year.
“I didn’t hesitate one second when the rematch was offered,” Mattice said. “I’m going into this fight with victory on my mind, and there’s nothing Hamazaryan can do to stop me. My hands will be raised once again.”
Hamazaryan was the No. 1 fighter in Armenia during an amateur career that spanned over 200 lutas. The 22-year-old will make his third consecutive start in the U.S. as he looks to avenge the only loss of his professional career.
“Everyone knows I beat Mattice in our last fight but I was robbed,” Hamazaryan said. “Now it’s time to put matters into my own hands and go for the knockout. He better be ready for the onslaught because it’s coming. He went down last time, but this time he won’t be getting up.”
Cem Kilic vs. Donnie Marshall – Eight-round middleweight bout
Kilic trains in Los Angeles under Buddy McGirt and won silver at the 2012 European Championships for Turkey. The 24-year-old, who recorded an 82-6 registro como um amador, has served as a sparring partner for Errol Spence, Jermell Charlo, Jean Pascal and Miguel Cotto. While Kilic has scored knockouts in five of his last six fights, he will face by far the toughest opponent of his career in Marshall, a fellow unbeaten yet untested prospect.
“This is the turning point in my career fighting on SHOWTIME against another undefeated fighter,” Kilic said. “I’m going to leave it all in the ring and the fans are going to see a great fight. Uma coisa é certa, Eu vou ser vitorioso.”
Marshall was born in Buffalo, N.I., and fights out of Raleigh, N.C. Former title challenger Ross “O chefe” Thompson trains the 29-year-old Marshall, who was named the 2017 North Carolina Fighter of the Year.
“I’m ready to take my career to the next level and remain undefeated,” Marshall said. “Kilic is in for a rude awakening. He’s never been in the ring with a hungry fighter like me. I’m going to win and win impressively.”

USA Boxing Alumni Association Profile: Dr. Wilbert “Skeeter” McClure
|
||||
|
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Agosto 20, 2018) – One of the classiest boxers to ever lace-up a pair of gloves is Dr. Wilbert “Skeeter” McClure, who is the only American boxer to capture an Olympic gold-medal and also earn a Doctor of Philosophy degree (Ph.D).
“When I think of ‘Skeeter’ McClure,” USA Boxing president John Brown dito, “I think of the grassroots of our sport. When ‘Skeeter’ was a young boy growing up in Toledo, Ohio, he had a twinkle in his eye and a desire to box. We would learn later in life how talented, gifted and passionate ‘Skeeter’ McClure was about the sport of boxing.
“It would be impossible for me, somebody who has spent his entire life in boxing, to find a better representative of our sport than ‘Skeeter’ McClure.”
Apelidado “Skeeter” because his father thought he looked no bigger than a mosquito at birth, McClure was born October 29, 1938 in Toledo, Ohio, and he developed into the perfect example of brains and brawn.
The now 79-year-old McClure earned degrees in literature and philosophy in 1961 from the University of Toledo and a doctorate in psychology from Wayne State University in Detroit. He was a professor at Northeastern University and late became a Massachusetts state boxing commissioner. Em 2012, he was honored for his life’s work by the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice at Harvard Law School.
McClure had an incredible boxing career, highlighted by his gold-medal performance at the 1960 Jogos Olímpicos, defeating his Italian opponent in Rome, Carmelo Bossi, to capture the light middleweight gold medal, despite fighting with a severely damaged hand suffered in the semifinals. The two other American gold medalists that year was his roommate and team co-captain, Cassius Clay (aka Muhammad Ali) and Eddie Crook, Jr.
Durante sua ilustre carreira amadora, McClure was dominant in 1959-1960, winning gold medals at the 1959 Pan-American Games, two-time National AAU tournaments, 1958 International Diamond Belt. He was also named Outstanding U.S. Amateur Boxer in 1959.
no Valenti, Projetos Especiais Consultor para os EUA Boxe, has known McClure as long as anybody alive, “I had the pleasure of meeting ‘Skeeter’ McClure in the late eighties,” Valenti noted, “and since the day I met him I’ve held him in the highest esteem. I cannot find another boxer who has achieved what ‘Skeeter’ has during his life in boxing. He was a talented amateur boxer who won at every level and, beyond that, he served in the U.S. Exército, earned a Ph.D in psychology, and he also had a long career as a college professor. One thing that stands out among his accomplishments is that he’s the kindest, most sincere gentlemen I’ve ever met.
“During his tenure on the Massachusetts Boxing Commission, he fully understood the sport and what was needed. As a promoter, I was never busier than when he oversaw boxing in Massachusetts. One of the highlights of my life is when I introduced ‘Skeeter’ to crowds at our events, after listening to his lists of accomplishments, how the crowd always gave him a standing ovation.
“Dr. Wilbert ‘Skeeter” McClure is a true champion and a class act. No American boxer will ever accomplish what he did.”
“I first met Wilbert at the 1964 National AAU Championships,” 1972 medalhista olímpico de bronze Jesse Valdez comentou. “I had just turned 16. I had won the National Golden Gloves for the first time and went to the National AAU and got beaten by Quincy Daniels, who had won a bronze medalist at the 1960 Olympics with Wilbert. I said hello but really didn’t know Wilbert. I was young, shy and kept to myself. I didn’t realize he was an Olympic gold medal winner until later, while taking with the other guys. I was really impressed by his background.
“Wilbert is somebody kids today need to look up to. He’s a great example for kids coming up and dreaming about winning an Olympic gold medal. And Wilbert went on to get an education. He’s a great example for kids today in the program (EUA Boxe).”
Legendary amateur boxing coach Roosevelt Sanders, who last year was inducted into the first class of the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, lost to McClure in the 1960 USA Olympic Trials.
“Ele (McClure) has always been nice to me,” Sanders added. “eu não o conhecia, pessoalmente, but met him, fought him, and saw him fight on television. He’s a smart guy, always a gentleman, and being a U.S. Marinho, we were taught to absorb that.”
Em 1961, McClure turned pro and he was billed as the next Sugar Ray Robinson, largely due their similar boxing style. No endorsements, embora, and the odds were really stacked against McClure reaching the same heights as a pro that he had attained as an amateur. During the early part of his professional career, McClure served in the U.S. Exército, attended college and was married with a baby. After only 14 lutas profissionais, the mismanaged McClure was rushed into difficult matches against the likes of future world champions and Hall of Famers Luis Rodriguez (duas vezes) e Jose Torres, plus No. 1 contendor Ruben “Furacão” Carreteiro (duas vezes), a partir de 1963 para 1966. McClure was on the losing end of four of those five fights, all by decisions, but he did fight Carter to a draw.
McClure retired from the ring in 1970 com um 24-9 (12 KOs) registro profissional. He eventually resettled in the Boston suburb of Chestnut Hill, where he taught at Northeastern University and later was a consultant to industry and government, teaching administrators how to deal with people.

He will look to recapture the glory of his 2014 season when he went 3-0, including two first-round knockouts, in the NEF cage and was voted “Lutador do Ano” by fans.
“I am blessed with this opportunity to go to war inside the NEF cage,” disse Boutin. “Past two years, I’ve been fighting for my sweet princess, Iola Soule. I possess new light, and I’d whoop the old me’s ass. I am still aboard this ride. I am a revenant.”
Mark Gardner has had a stellar first year with NEF. Novembro passado, he debuted with a second-round technical knockout of Carlton Charles (2-2) em “NEF 31.” He would follow up that success with a pair of first-round finishes this year, including a submission victory by arm bar earlier this summer at “NEF 34.” Em todos, he finished his amateur career a perfect 3-0. Gardner is a product of the Academy of Mixed Martial Arts based in Portland, Maine.
“I can’t wait to fight Crowsneck in September,” said Gardner. “To be able to make my pro debut so soon after three good fights is pretty rad. I’ve been training hard for this and I can’t wait to see it pay off in there.”

Umar Salamov da Rússia enfrentará Denis Liebau da Alemanha em confronto explosivo de peso leve em setembro 5 em Grozny
|
|
Na quarta-feira, Setembro 5, destemido lutador russo meio-pesado Umar Salamov (21-1, 16 KOs) vai arriscar seu IBF #11 e WBO #15 classificações quando ele enfrenta o perfurador KO traiçoeiro Denis Liebau (23-2, 21 KOs) de Frankfurt Alemanha, para o WBO International Light Heavyweight Championship.
O confronto explosivo de 10 assaltos será realizado no anfiteatro do hotel cinco estrelas Grozny City, na cidade natal de Salamov, Grozny, Rússia, e transmitido ao vivo na Rússia pela Match TV.
Ansioso por uma chance no campeonato mundial, Salamov ultimamente tem aprimorado seu ofício no mundialmente famoso Kronk Gym em Detroit, ao lançar desafios públicos aos perigosos campeões mundiais Eleider Alvarez (WBO) e Dmitry Bivol (WBA). Ele foi visto pela última vez no ringue em junho, vencendo o campeonato norte-americano IBF marcando um nocaute impressionante na nona rodada sobre Brian Howard, ao vivo no Showtime.
“Eu amo treinar em Detroit,”Disse Salamov. “Estou animado por estar de volta ao ringue lutando pelo prestigioso cinturão internacional da WBO. Eu já segurei este título e sinto que me pertence. Eu sou o melhor meio-pesado do mundo e estou ansioso para provar isso de forma impressionante em setembro 5, na frente dos fãs da minha cidade natal.
Já conhecido por acertar em todos os oponentes fortes que enfrenta, Salamov diz que será ainda mais implacável contra Liebau.
“Vou procurar outro nocaute,"Ele disse. “Trabalhar com o treinador-chefe Javan“ Sugar ”Hill Stewart e meu co-treinador Rick Philips me ensinou muitas coisas novas. Estou em uma forma incrível e sinto que é impossível me vencer agora. ”
“A experiência de classe mundial de Umar, habilidades e agora um regime de treinamento de classe mundial fazem dele um dos melhores meio-pesados do mundo,”Disse o co-promotor de Salamov, Dmitriy Salita (junto com Kazbek Aslambekov da KA-Promotions). “Umar está enfrentando um desafiante realmente experiente em Denis Liebau, mas eu sei que ele está pronto para uma vitória impressionante.
