Rivalta potpisuje menadžerski ugovor sa portorikanskim amaterskim Luisom Melendezom

Fort Lauderdale, Menadžer boksa sa Floride Henry Rivalta s ponosom najavljuje potpisivanje promotivnog ugovora sa 19-godišnjim potencijalnim igračem u polulaškoj kategoriji Luisom “El Chucho” Melendezom.
Izvanredan amater na Floridi i svom rodnom Portoriku, Melendez će svoj profesionalni debi imati pod vodstvom Rivalte u julu.
Rođen i odrastao u Bayamonu, Portoriko, Melendez se počeo baviti boksom u dobi 11. On je nastavio da ima 124 amaterski tuče, osvajanje brojnih portorikanskih i međunarodnih titula, uključujući juniorske olimpijske igre, Olimpijski kup, i državljani Portorika iz 101 lbs. u 132 lbs.
Melendez kaže da je menadžerski dogovor kulminacija dugog druženja koje su par održali. “Kad sam bio oko 15, Otišao sam na sparing u Mike Tyson Gym u West Palm Beachu i sparingovao sam profesionalcu i Henry me vidio. Rekao mi je da mu se sviđa ono što vidi i od tada me je bacio na oko. Sada kada postižem svoj san da postanem profesionalac, Henry je prava osoba koja će mi pomoći u vođenju karijere.”
Borac za povratak sa stilom koji više odgovara profesionalnim rangovima, Melendez svoj stil naziva 'pametno agresivnim'.
Imam veoma profesionalni stil. Sjedam na svoje udarce. Mnogo volim da bacam kombinacije. Volim da razbijam svoje protivnike. Volim da idem do tela. Or, zavisno od protivnika, Mogu te boksati. Takođe mogu da udarim i da me ne pogode kada treba.”
Melendez kaže da trenira u KO Fitnessu u Hialeah, Florida, sa trenerom Michaelom Roblesom ide dobro i on je uzbuđen što će započeti svoju profesionalnu karijeru. "Osećam se sjajno. Ovo je moj san. Uvek sam voleo profesionalce. Gledao sam i govorio 'čovječe, bit ću tamo jednog dana.' Uvijek sam imao taj stil. Želim da osvajam titule u šest divizija. Želim da budem najbolja funta za funtu. Želim da budem sledeće lice Portorika.”
“Luis ima sav talenat da postane svjetski šampion,“, rekao je Henry Rivalta. “Odmalena je bio izuzetan i razvio se u veoma dobrog borca. Sretan sam što konačno mogu raditi s njim u profesionalcima. Radujem se dugoj i prosperitetnoj vezi sa ovim sljedećim velikim borcem iz Portorika.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday ahead of the first boxing event to take place inside Ford Center at The Star:

 

Errol SPENCE JR.

 

 

 

I’m really happy to be here and I’m so happy that everyone came out. Saturday night is going to be great. I’ve been training for 10 weeks and I’m 100 percent focused on Ocampo. I’m here to do my job, which is to win and look good winning.

 

 

 

Ocampo is very dangerous because he has nothing to lose. It’s his first title fight, which is a position I’ve been in before. I had a lot of fire and I felt like I had nothing to lose. I’m sure he’s been training hard and is focused. I know he’s fighting for him family so he’s going to come to fight. I want a guy who’s going to test me so the crowd gets their money’s worth.

 

 

 

I’ve had pressure my whole boxing career. Being on Olympian and a top prospect was pressure, but then I also went overseas to take the title from a top fighter. I’ve always overcome the pressure on me and I’m going to overcome another test on Saturday night.

 

 

 

Every fight is a statement fight. Nije bitno ko Borim. All eyes are on me in the welterweight division. People want to see if there are chinks in my armor, so it’s important for me to put on a great performance and prove I’m the best welterweight in the division.

 

 

 

Dallas already is a boxing town, just not enough boxing comes here. I can be the star who has annual fights and bring the city out like we’re doing Saturday night. I’m going to prove we’re a boxing city in Dallas and that Texas is a boxing state period. I do this for the whole state.

 

 

 

We work hard every camp and we’re 100 percent dedicated. There hasn’t been much difference in this camp than normal. The sparring with Jermell Charlo was top quality and has me prepared for Saturday night.

 

 

 

I’m ready to line up those other champions. I’ve said that since I was 15-0. I want to fight every opponent and take them out no matter who it is. I’m here to prove that I’m the best in the division.

 

CARLOS OCAMPO

 

 

 

We’re here on the same stage and I’m ready. I’m appreciative to be here and I’m calm. I have nothing to lose. He has all the pressure of being in his hometown. I’m just relaxed and ready to fight.

 

 

 

I’ve studied his fights enough. What’s most important is that I know that he has everything to lose and I don’t. He has a home field advantage, but at the end of the day, it’s just two guys in the ring.

 

 

 

I’ve gotten a great reception from the people here in Dallas. I’ve been treated like a champion and after Saturday I’ll be a world champion. You don’t want to miss this fight.

 

 

 

He can try to come and knock me out, but this is my dream. This is what I’ve trained my whole life for and I’m not going to let this chance pass me by.

 

 

 

I’m going to use my height, distance and jab throughout the fight. The counter will be important for me. I’m going to look to catch him so he better be ready.

 

 

 

“Ja ću ostaviti sve u ringu. I’m going to show what I have and give everyone a great performance from start to finish.

 

DANIEL ROMAN

 

 

 

Flores is a tough opponent. I don’t overlook anybody. I know he’s going to come in and fight. Defending my belt is the only thing that’s on my mind.

 

 

 

We work hard like always. The only thing that changes in camp is strategy, and we will be ready for anything Flores can bring.

 

 

 

We’re going to be ready for his pressure. I’m going to fight a smart fight. If we have a chance to take him out early, then I’m going to jump on it. You never know what could happen in a fight.

 

 

 

Flores is not an easy opponent. Nobody is at this level. I just work hard every day like it’s my first shot at a world title. I know that if I put in the work, everything will come together in the ring.

 

MOISES FLORES

 

Roman is a good fighter, that’s why we’re here. Hopefully on Saturday night he won’t be able to take my volume of punches. I’m going to bring pressure for every moment of the fight and we’ll see if he holds up.

 

 

 

Everyone knows that I like to come forward and make exciting fights. There will be drama and I’m expecting to come out of there with my hand raised.

 

 

 

On Saturday night I’m going to get redemption for everything that happened in my last fight and deliver a win and an exciting fight. This is a chance that I’ve worked and trained hard to get again.

 

JAVIER FORTUNA

 

 

 

Everyone knows what I can do here in the ring. I’m very glad to be here meeting Granados, because we’re going to give the fans a a great fight on Saturday that’s going to steal the show.

 

 

 

I know that Granados has fought a lot of top opposition, but on Saturday night, I’m going to be a different fighter than he’s ever seen in the ring.

 

 

 

This will be a battle. Everyone will see on fight night what the difference is between me and him. I’m a special fighter. I’m going to prove it again on Saturday.

 

ADRIAN GRANADOS

 

 

 

It’s been a long hard road to this fight. I know I have marks on my record, but I can easily say that I know all of them have been controversial. I’ve pushed through everything and I know that I’m truly respected as a fighter.

 

 

 

I’m always going to bring the same fire and determination to the ring. If my opponent is brave enough to stand with me, then it’s going to be all-action. U svakom slučaju, I’m coming to break him down and get the victory.

 

 

 

‘Recently I’ve gone against a lot of opposition that is naturally bigger than me, but I’ve never backed down or been afraid of any of them. This fight is going to prove that I belong in the upper echelon of boxing.

 

 

 

I’ve checked out Fortuna’s fights and he’s a scrapper. He likes to bang too in the ring just like I do. It’s all the recipes for a can’t miss fight.

 

DERRICK JAMES, Spence trener

 

 

 

I’m very happy to see everybody out here and we’re so glad that the fans are getting involved. This city means everything to me and Errol, so to bring a great night like this and have this huge reception from the fans, is a little bit of extra motivation.

 

 

 

I think we’re going to see a great fight. Ocampo is very tough opposition and Errol has trained very hard. We’re going to see the best Errol Spence on Saturday night and I’m sure we’ll see the best Carlos Ocampo, which should make for a fun night for the fans.

 

BRITTANY GOOSSEN BROWN, Vice President of TGB Promotions

 

 

 

We are so excited for Saturday night and to be bringing the first boxing event inside Ford Center at The Star. Dallas is a great fight town and who better to headline the first title fight here in 50 years than hometown favorite Errol Spence Jr.? He is sure to put on a great performance for his hometown fans.

 

 

 

It has truly been a pleasure to work with the entire Dallas Cowboys organization throughout this promotion and we hope this is just the start of bringing sellout crowds here to the heart of Texas. We can’t wait to see you all there on Saturday night.

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & Events Programming, Showtime Network Inc.

 

 

 

SHOWTIME is thrilled to be here at The Star for the first boxing event inside of Ford Center. Week after week and month after month, we’ve delivered the best fighters in the most meaningful fights to boxing fans. Saturday is the 11th SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING this year. These events have featured more than 15 svetsku titulu tuče, just in the first six months of the year. We’re doing more boxing and more high quality boxing than any other network by far.

 

 

 

Saturday is no exception, especially in terms of quality. Errol Spence Jr. is a consensus top five pound-for-pound fighter. He’s knocked out 10 straight fighters and it was 2014 when an opponent last went the distance. Errol is in many ways our Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys quarterback), he’s a young star, a fan favorite and we expect him to be one of the faces of the sport for years to come.

 

 

 

If you know of the tradition of Mexican fighters in this sport, then you know that Carlos Ocampo cannot be overlooked. He’s coming to win and that makes him very dangerous and should create an exciting fight.

 

 

 

Both of the opening bouts leading up to the main event on SHOWTIME are significant bouts with fighters that bring all action styles to the ring.

HALL OF FAME BROADCASTER AL BERNSTEIN MARKS 15-YEAR MILESTONE WITH SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Legendary Boxing Analyst Has Been Part of the Biggest and Most Memorable Events In Boxing History

Kredit: SHOWTIME

NEW YORK (Jun 13, 2018) – Legendary Boxing Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein has reached another career milestone: fifteen years of broadcasting the sport on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

Bernstein provided expert analysis for the largest pay-per-view event in television history. He ranks the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao “Fight of the Century” the most significant broadcast of his career, one that spans three-and-a-half decades.

“I have great memories throughout my more than 37-year television career, but the last 15 years at SHOWTIME have been the most productive and enjoyable,” said the Chicago native and longtime Las Vegas resident Bernstein. “I have worked with extraordinary colleagues both in front of and behind the camera as we chronicled some of the most important and exciting boxing matches of this era.”

Bernstein was ringside providing expert analysis when Anthony Joshua TKO’d Wladimir Klitschko in the spring of 2017 ispred 90,000 raucous fans at Wembley Stadium in London for the IBF and WBA heavyweight world title belts. He places that at No. 2 on his biggest matches list, with Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor right behind that at No. 3. Mayweather also gets the nod at No. 4 as boxing’s all-time great dominated Canelo Alvarez in 2013. Bernstein’s fifth most memorable all-time SHOWTIME moment was in Manchester, England when Joe Calzaghe dominated Jeff Lacy in the mega-fight dubbed “Judgment Day.”

“I’ve had a front row seat to watch great champions in great matches,” Bernstein said. “And I’ve participated in what I think is the best television production in the sport of boxing. I’m honored to have participated in this special period of SHOWTIME Boxing and I am energized by the great fights of today and the future of the sport.”

Bernstein ranks the legendary Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo bout as the best fight he has ever covered, followed by Israel Vasquez vs Rafael Marquez 3 a zatim, the recent Erislandy Lara vs. Jarrett Hurd barnburner from earlier this year. Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Orlando Salido 1 and the Klitschko-Joshua mega fight round out his top five best SHOWTIME fights.

There have been dramatic upsets along the way during Bernstein’s SHOWTIME tenure, with Nonito Donaire vs. Vic Darchinyan ranking at the top of the list, followed by Ricky Hatton vs. Kosta Tszyu; Orlando Salido vs Juan Manuel Marquez; Austin Trout vs. Miguel Cotto and Andre Ward vs. Mikkel Kessler.

“Al Bernstein is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced announcers in sports today,"Rekao je Stephen Espinoza, President of SHOWTIME Sports and Event Programming. “Over the past 15 godina, Al has called many of the biggest events and greatest matchups in the sport of boxing, and brings a level of expertise unrivaled by any network. Congratulations to Al for what continues to be an exceptional career at ringside.”

Bernstein, who before joining SHOWTIME covered everything from Major League Baseball to the Olympic Games and the NFL Draft, is also an accomplished writer and author. He won the Chicago Newspaper Guild’s Award for best news story in 1975 and published his first book “Boxing for Beginners” in 1978. His most recent work, an enlightening look back at his 30 years in broadcasting (“Al Bernstein: 30 Godine, 30 Undeniable Truths About Boxing, Sportski, and TV”) was published in 2012. Bernstein has also appeared in a number of movies such as “Rocky V”, “Streets of Gold”, and “Play It to the Bone.”

Bernstein has been recognized by multiple international and state Hall of Fames, but it has not always been about just boxing for Bernstein, or even sports. He serves on the board of directors and is a spokesman for Caring Place, a Las Vegas facility that was co-founded by his wife Connie, which provides free services to those whose lives have been touched by cancer.

Bernstein is also a singer and an expert equestrian. He has performed as a vocalist for the past 30 years doing mostly tunes from the Great American songbook. He has appeared at many casinos in Las Vegas and around the country. Recently he has been performing at the Tuscany Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. As an equestrian, Bernstein participated in a number of celebrity rodeos as both a participant and grand marshal.
