UNCASVILLE, Conn. (Gorffennaf 1, 2018) – Returning to the ring after an 11-month layoff due to a broken jaw, Joe “The Beast” Smith, Jr. provided early fireworks last night (Dydd Sadwrn, Mehefin 30) in the latest installment in the popular “Slugfest at The Sun” Cyfres, presented by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, yn MOHEGAN Sun Arena mewn UNCASVILLE, Connecticut.

 

 

 

“Slugfest at The Sun” was taped live and will air Gorffennaf 19, 8 -10 p.m. A, ar New England Sports Network (NESN). Star Boxing’s next event, “Rockin’ ymladd”,Medi 21 at the Paramount in Huntington, NY, will also air via tape- delay on NESN.

 

 

 

Rated No. 3 a Na. 7 yn y byd, yn y drefn honno, gan Gyngor Bocsio Byd (CLlC) and World Boxing Association (WBA), Smith (24-2, 20 Kos) hurt Melvin “The Romantic Redneck” Russell (11-5-2, 7 Kos) with the first punch he landed and finished the show, two devastating knockdowns later, yn y rownd agoriadol.

 

 

 

“I hit him with a decent shot when I was walking him down and saw that I hurt him,” Joe Smith Jr. explained. “Felly, I looked to end it. I would have liked to have gotten some rust off, but I’m happy with my performance. My jaw feels great.”

 

 

 

“We’re looking to go to the top,” Smith’s promoter Joe DeGuardia Nododd. “Joe’s plan and goal has always been to be world champion. We wanted (Sergey) Kovalev before this fight, but it didn’t work out. We’re hoping to get him in the fall.”

 

 

 

“Kovalev looks great, he motivates me,” Smith noted. “I think I can take advantage of his conditioning.”

 

 

 

Coming off her historic fight this past May against the undefeated Queen of Boxing Cecelia Breakhus, who won a 10-round decision in the first female fight to air on HBO, three-time world champion Kali “KO Mequinonoag” Reis (14-7-1, 4 Kos) cruised past Mexican welterweight Patty “Las Elegante” Ramirez (11-6, 5 Kos), cyn heriol teitl y byd, winning all eight rounds.

 

 

 

“She was a survivor,” Reis commented. “There was a lot we wanted to work on, ergydion corff, jabs and more … getting more comfortable. I executed the plan my corner gave me and got the job done.

 

 

 

A Native American from Rhode Island, Reis wants a rematch with Breakhus, “I know I need to stay busy, active and remain fighting at welterweight to get the rematch,” Reis added. “I’m going to stay on her tail. I’ll be ready when it happens, I really want it to happen.”

 

 

 

In the television opener, undefeated junior welterweight “Gweithred” Anthony Laureano (8-0 3KO yn) lived up to his nickname, never taking a backwards step, as he pounded Juan Rodriguez (8-10-1 6KO yn) in the center of the ring from the opening bell through the end for a dominant six-round unanimous decision. Y 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion Laureano, who fights out of East Hartford, CT, put on an entertaining show in front of his large, loud contingent of fans. Laureano effectively used every punch in his vast arsenal to break down a tough, game Rodriguez.

 

 

 

“I thought I did well,” Laureano said after the fight, “but I’d like to see more angles. I want to see more power, hefyd. It’s there, he felt it; it’s coming. I have a long road. Frwydr Nesaf, I’d like to have an eight-rounder. We’re adding more people to the team. I hope everyone see that I’m getting better each fight. I have more tools and my discipline is there.”

 

 

 

Canol iau undefeated Wendy “Haitian Fire” Toussaint (9-0, 3 Kos) lit up an overwhelmed Andy Gonzalez (6-3, 5 Kos), battering him from pillar to post, until referee Steve Willis waved off the fight in the third round. Haiti-native Toussaint, now living in Huntington, NY, used his superior power and speed to make an impressive statement.

 

 

 

Popular South Boston southpaw Joe Farina (3-0, 2 Kos) overcame a flash knockdown during the opening seconds of the fight, using a relentless attack to defeat junior welterweight Steve Moore (1-4, 1 KO), by way of a four-round split decision.

 

 

 

Irish junior welterweight “Lethal” Larry Fryers (formerly known as Gleeson) gwella ei record i 7-1 (2 Kos) with a six-round unanimous decision over Anthony Woods (1-7-1). Fighting out of Yonkers NY, Fryers floored Woods with a left hook at the end of round two. Woods was penalized a point near the end of the final round for an intentional head butt.

 

 

 

Former U. of New Haven basketball star Cassius Chaney (13-0, 7 Kos), fighting out of New London (CT), cadw ei record diguro yn gyfan, dropping Mexican heavyweight Elder Hernandez (5-3, 3 Kos) twice before referee Willis halted the match near the end of the opening round.

 

 

 

The opening bout of the evening ended in the second round and ruled a “Dim Contest” because of an accidental head butt that left both fighters — William “Y Silent Assassin” Foster III (8-0, 6 Kos) ac Tyrome Jones (4-3-1, 1 KO) – with serious head cuts and unable to continue.

Photo by Stephanie Trapp – Showtime

LAS VEGAS, NV (Mehefin 29, 2018) – 19-year-old undefeated sensation and USBA Lightweight pencampwr, Devin “The Dream” Haney (19-0, 13 Kos), has captured his second title before age 20, but even more impressive, is his ranking at # 15 gan yr IBF, meaning a title shot is near.

 

 

 

“It means the world to me to be ranked in the top 15 by a major sanctioning body like the IBF,” said Devin Haney. “I work extremely hard. I have dedicated my life to the sport of boxing, and the fact that sanctioning bodies are taking notice of my hard work, reaffirms all the sacrifice I have made. I am very excited for what the future holds.”

 

 

 

In his last bout Haney defeated Mason Menard (33-3, 24 Kos) by way of ninth-round technical knockout, and earned the victory when Menard’s corner stopped the bout heading into the tenth and final round. Haney handed Menard a one-sided beating up until that point, forcing Menard’s corner to stop the fight. This victory, which headlined Showtime’s “ShoBox: The Next Generation”, also awarded Devin, the USBA Lightweight title.

 

 

 

“I know that after the statement I made in the last fight, people will be watching me closely,” Haney continued. “I have a lot of hype around me! The cat is out of the bag! I’m nobody’s prospect. Rwy'n yn gystadleuydd. If the winner of Garcia vs Dwyrain wants to fight me next, I’m available. The industry and the real fight fans know who I am. They know I can fight. It’s only going to get better. Dw i'n gweithio yn galed, and I promise that in my next fight, you will see, an even better Devin Haney than before.”

 

 

 

Devin Haney is the youngest fighter ever to hold the USBA Lightweight title in the organization’s history. Ym mis Medi, Devin will be making his return to the ring, as he gears up for his first title defense.

This week on the FNU Combat Sports Show, we discuss the latest news in MMA and boxing, recap the past week’s events and preview the upcoming events this week. We also discuss Walter “2 Guns” Wright winning his main event fight against Mark DeLuca a couple days after we interviewed him last week. Wright’s split decision win came in part due to a persistent jab that frustrated DeLuca and left him bloodied, bruised and exhausted by the final bell. Of course bringing up this fact gets us all going on the absolute necessity of the jab in any combat sports fighter’s toolbox.

Russian Prospect Elena Savelyeva to Face IBF #10- and WBC #11-rated Nina Radovanovic on Friday, Gorffennaf 13 in Montenegro

Gadael sylw

Gold-star women’s bantamweight prospect Elena Savelyeva (4-0, 3 Kos) of Russia will return to the ring on Friday, Gorffennaf 13, in Herceg Novi, Montenegro, for an eight-round showdown against current #10 IBF a #11 WBC contender Nina Radovanovic (12-2, 3 Kos) of Serbia.

 

 

 

Formerly one of the most decorated female amateur boxers in the world, Savelyeva is being fast-tracked by her co-promoters, Salita Promotions and Russia-based Alexander Nevskiy Promotion Group. Radovanovic is a two-time world-title challenger, whose only two losses occurred in world-championship fights.

 

 

 

“Even though I only have four professional fights, I want to fight the best and show the boxing world my skills,” said Savelyeva, a former world, Ewropeaidd (2X) a Rwsia (6X) pencampwr amatur, who represented her homeland in the 2012 Summer Olympics and competed in the first-ever women’s Olympic boxing match in history.

 

 

 

“Nina Radovanovic will be my toughest opponent on the professional ring. She is more experienced than me as professional, but I am sure that my amateur experience and already acquired professional experience will be enough for my victory which I plan to be impressive.”

 

 

 

Savelyeva says she’s optimistic about her quickly developing career, given the current state of female boxing.

 

 

 

“Female professional boxing is going in the right direction. Some of the top female fights are as exciting as the male boxers. The fact that Claressa Shields vs Hanna Gabriels did such amazing, record-setting TV ratings proves that women’s boxing at the top level is exciting and wanted.”

 

 

 

Savelyeva’s co-promoter, Dmitriy Salita, says the fast-track is justified for his talented Russian prospect.

 

 

 

“Women’s boxing had grown exponentially in recent times. Elena’s elite amateur pedigree makes her already one of the best female fighters in the world and I believe in the very near future, she will be a world champion.”

Between extra time in the gym, world class sparring and an added motivation from the public viewing him as an underdog, Silva is confident July 14 will elevate his career, not Lopez’.

 

 

 

“I feel great and our preparations have gone exactly as planned so far,” Silva said following a training session at Plant City Boxing Gym. “Lopez is a good fighter but this is a great opportunity to show that I’m also a top talent. My team and I will be prepared for victory July 14.”

 

 

 

Silva’s promoter, Jody Caliguire of Fire Fist Boxing, has seen a significant improvement in his fighter in the last six months and believes that Lopez is in for a surprise.

 

 

 

“I believe some people are probably expecting to see the William Silva they did against Felix Verdejo but they’re in for a major surprise. He’s a totally different fighter now and improvements have been made across the board that I’ve seen firsthand in the gym. If Lopez and his supporters are viewing Silva as a stepping stone with a good record it’s not only motivation for our side but a major mistake on theirs.”

 

 

 

The card is headlined by a battle of unbeatens between New Orleans’ very own Regis Prograis and Argentina’s Juan Jose Velasco for the World Boxing Council (CLlC) interim super lightweight title.
