Populer, undefeated Detroit bantamweight Ja’Rico “Great Lakes King” O’Quinn will continue his climb up the professional boxing ladder in his first eight-round fight, pada hari Jumat, Bulan Juni 22, at Detroit’s Masonic Temple.

 

 

 

O'Quinn (8-0-1, 5 Biaya) will make his next ring appearance (against an opponent TBA as of now) on the non-televised undercard of the blockbuster “It’s Our Time to Shine” event featuring two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and current Unified Women’s Super Middleweight Champion Claressa Shields attempting to become a two-division world champion against unified 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Women’s Middleweight World Championships.

 

 

 

The main event will be televised live on SHOWTIME BOXING: EDISI KHUSUS (10 p.m. ET / PT) and will also feature highlights of Unified Women’s Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer as she defends her WBC & WBO Titles in her U.S. debut against former world champion Tori Nelson.

 

 

 

Tiket untuk acara, yang dipromosikan oleh Salita Promosi, tersedia di Ticketmaster.com or at the Masonic Temple Box Office at (313) 832-7100. VIP tickets are priced at $300, ringside tickets at $125, and remaining tickets at $75, $50 dan $35.

 

 

 

The 23-year-old O’Quinn says he’s eager to get in the ring at this historic event.

 

 

 

“I’m excited because this will be my first eight-rounder. I feel good that I’m getting closer to 10- and 12-round fights and a world title shot. I know it will happen, but I have to work my way up to the big fights and get noticed more first. Pelatihan berjalan dengan baik. I was already working out before I found out I was fighting. I was already in good shape, so now we’re stepping it up and getting in serious shape.”

 

 

 

O'Quinn, from the West Side of Detroit in the Plymouth And Greenfield area, enjoys intense popularity among Motown boxing fans, which gives him extra motivation to impress.

 

 

 

“It’s a great feeling hearing my name being chanted by hundreds of people when I come out. It’s what I love and I appreciate that my fans stand behind what I’m doing. I have a great team behind me and great fans.”

 

 

 

A decorated former amateur boxer, O’Quinn won the USA National Championship at bantamweight and the 2013 USA Boxing Youth National Championships. He says it’s that amateur pedigree that gives him his high “boxing IQ” in the ring and makes him so adaptable to any style.

 

 

 

“I have such great management and promoters, I know whoever I fight will be the best for my career, so it doesn’t really matter. Everybody knows I’m always in shape an I’ll be in even greater shape this time. It’s a big show, so I’m doing more of everything to get ready.”

 

 

 

“Ja’Rico O’Quinn is one of the best Bantamweight prospects in the country,” kata promotornya, Dmitriy Salita. “His speed, skills and exciting style make his fights very entertaining. His fan base grows with each fight and I believe that Ja’Rico has the skills to join the list of fighters that brought glory to the great boxing city of Detroit.”

SECOND TITLE FIGHT ANNOUNCED FOR NEF 34 IN PORTLAND

Portland, Maine (Mei 2, 2018) - Perkelahian New England (NEF) returns to Aura in Portland, Maine dengan acara seni bela diri campuran berikutnya, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” pada hari Sabtu malam, Bulan Juni 16, 2018.

Carlton Charles burst onto the NEF scene last summer with a 23-second technical knockout of then-undefeated Josh Jones (2-4) on a card in Bangor, Maine. Awal tahun ini, Charles returned to the NEF cage with a 12-second dismantling of Delmarkis Edwards (0-1). The former fullback for the University of Maine Black Bears will get his first shot at MMA gold on Bulan Juni 16, but he is no stranger to championships. After playing for Windham High School, Charles led the football team to a Class A state title as an assistant coach.

I’m really excited and blessed for this opportunity to fight for the NEF amateur welterweight title,” said Charles. “I think it’s a big important step forward for my experience as an amateur and fighting career. This fight is against a great opponent that I know will, dan, training hard and will leave it all in the cage. I know my coaches and family will have me ready for this fight, and I’m looking forward to us putting on a show for Portland!”

Duncan Smith made his NEF debut last month atNEF 33in Portland with an impressive standing guillotine submission of Taylor Bartlett (0-1) di babak pertama. Smith had previously competed for other promotions throughout the region in MMA and kickboxing bouts since 2014. He is a member of Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Maine.

Carlton and I are both looking to go pro and climb up the ladder,” kata Smith. “Fights like this is what it’s all about. I have the upmost respect for my opponent, but I have all the skills to win. Other than getting clipped, this fight is already won.

KUTIPAN & GAMBAR DARI INDUKTUR NYSBHOF

 


(L-R) – Ron McNair, Jake Rodriguez dan Bob Duffy
JAKE RODRIGUEZ: “Saya ingin berterima kasih kepada Ring 8 untuk kesempatan saya berada di sini. Saya juga ingin berterima kasih kepada istri saya karena selalu ada untuk saya, dan pelatih saya.”

(L-R) – Herb Goldman, Don Majeski dan Bob Duffy
HERB GOLDMAN: “Jika saya telah memberikan kontribusi pada tinju – Saya harap saya punya – Saya melakukannya dengan mendefinisikan ulang pencatatan dan menciptakan perspektif baru tentang sejarah tinju. Saya bangga akan hal itu, tapi saya tidak melakukannya sendiri.”
(L-R) – Joe Mesi, Jack Hirsch dan Bob Duffy
JOE MESI: “Saya memiliki banyak orang untuk berterima kasih atas kehormatan ini. Saya seorang Buffalonian. Tidak ada yang lebih menyukai satu New York, tapi ternyata tidak. Ini spesial bagi saya karena ini adalah Hall of Fame Tinju Negara Bagian New York. Ini menguatkan saya dan membuat saya berpikir bahwa saya bukan hanya anak lokal. Ada kerugian besar yang datang dari kota kecil, sparring tidak sama dengan di gym di New York City, tapi saya mendapat keuntungan datang dari Western New York. Tidak ada orang yang keluar seperti yang kami lakukan di Buffalo 10,000, kemudian 16,00 dan akhirnya 18,000 orang orang. Mereka selalu ada di belakang saya dan saya berbagi ini dengan mereka karena dukungan mereka membuat saya. Impian saya adalah bertarung di Buffalo dan terus bertarung di sana.
“Salah satu hal terpenting dalam hidup saya adalah melawan Monte Barrett di HBO di Madison Square Garden. Dia adalah salah satu petarung terhebat di dunia yang memperjuangkan gelar dunia. Saya selalu ingin mendapatkan gelar juara dunia saya, tapi saya tidak pernah mendapatkannya. Tidak apa-apa, Saya sedikit pahit untuk sementara waktu, tetapi saya tidak bisa lebih bahagia dengan karier saya. Bagian terbaik dari tinju adalah persaudaraan yang kita miliki.

(L-R) – Randy Gordon, Ron Scott Stevens dan Bob Duffy
BAJA RON SCOTT: “Saya tahu orang selalu mengatakannya, tapi inilah kebenarannya: Saya berhutang pada banyak orang yang telah mendukung saya sepanjang karir saya. Tinju selalu jauh dari rumah bagi saya dan hari ini saya merasa seperti di rumah sendiri.
“Tadi saya 30, tinggal di Brooklyn Heights, dan kembali mengendarai taksi menunggu di meja. Sebuah lampu padam di kepalaku: tinju adalah olahraga yang diunggulkan dan saya adalah yang tidak diunggulkan. Keesokan harinya saya pergi ke Gleason's Gym – pusat alam semesta. Saya berkeliling semua gym di kota, promotor pertemuan, manajer dan pelatih. Saya mulai membuat pertandingan untuk promotor dan kemudian Cedric Kushner mempekerjakan saya 1980-2002. Di 2002, Saya mendapat panggilan untuk bekerja di Komisi Atletik Negara Bagian New York sebagai Koordinator Komunitas dan Direktur Tinju. Kemudian, Saya diangkat menjadi ketua dan saya menjabat dua periode. Hari Ini, Saya sangat bangga menjadi bagian dari Hall of Fame Tinju Negara Bagian New York.

(L-R) – Bob Duffy, Henry Hascup, Bob Goodman dan Tommy Gallagher
BOB GOODMAN: “Saya tidak percaya kerumunan ini. Untuk melakukan apa yang kami lakukan, pengorbanan dan dukungan yang Anda dapatkan dari keluarga Anda sangat penting dan (dalam kasus Goodman) selama bertahun-tahun. Mereka mengizinkan kami melakukan apa yang kami lakukan. Kita semua suka tinju!”

(L-R) – Ray Mercer, Penny Allen, Ke sekolah, Clay Jenkins dan Bob Duffy
KE SEKOLAH: “Saya pikir tinju adalah olahraga terbodoh dan terbodoh yang pernah ada. Siapa yang ingin dipukul di wajah? Saya mulai bertinju terlambat. Saya bermain-main dan orang-orang bilang saya cukup bagus. Saya mulai bertinju saat masih muda 20, di Angkatan Darat, ditempatkan di Ft. Kap. Empat tahun kemudian, Saya berada di Tim Olimpiade. Alasan mengapa saya memiliki pasangan tanding yang hebat, Ray Mercer. Jika aku akan berada di ring setiap hari bersama Ray, Saya akan dipukuli, atau menjadi lebih baik.
“Saya ingat Bob Arum memberi saya kartu namanya. Saya tidak kenal dia. Saya hanya tahu tiga orang di tinju: Don King, Muhammad Ali dan Sugar Ray Leonard. Saya tidak mengikuti tinju dan satu-satunya alasan saya bertinju adalah saya harus tidur di hutan jika tidak melakukannya (di Angkatan Darat). Tinju adalah: pukul dia, sebelum dia memukulku.”

(L-R) – Bobby Cassidy, Jr., Jaime Drubin dan Pete Brodsky
PETE BRODSKY: “Saya ingin berterima kasih kepada dewan. Aku akan menjadi 70 dan mulai bertinju ketika saya masih 18. Itu menciptakan arah baru dalam hidup saya. Saya sangat bangga berada di perusahaan dengan orang-orang yang tidak hanya membicarakannya, mereka menyukainya. Jika Anda sangat menyukai olahraga ini, Anda benar-benar harus mempelajarinya. Siapapun yang menginjak ring, ditambah semua perbaikan jalan, waktu di gym dan mengorbankan apa yang mereka makan, melakukan itu untuk menjadi yang terbaik yang mereka bisa.
“Dalam tinju, Anda tidak akan memenangkan setiap pertarungan, tapi apakah petarung menang atau kalah, jika dia memberi 100 persen, dia adalah pemenang. Mereka melakukan pekerjaan, lari lima mil sehari, berolahraga di gym, dan kemudian pulang untuk menghabiskan waktu bersama keluarganya. Teman dan keluarga selalu mendukung Anda.”

(L-R) – Masyarakat Darryl & Melvina Lathan
MELVINA LATHAM: “Saya tidak dapat berkata-kata. Itu luar biasa. Cabul (mantan ketua NYSAC, Gordon), apakah kamu ingat cerita ini? Hanya ada tiga hakim dan, sayangnya, satu disebut sakit. Saya duduk di sisi ring tanpa tanggung jawab. Randy bilang aku harus bekerjamalam ini. Saya mengatakan bahwa saya tidak memiliki lisensi dan tidak dapat melakukannya. Kata Randy, 'Angkat tangan kananmu', dan itu aktif. Saya dilempar ke sana, tapi tidak apa-apa.
“Prestasi terbesar saya adalah anak-anak dan suami saya. Saya tidak bisa meminta situasi yang lebih baik. Dan Ralph Petrillo adalah bagian dari keluargaku; dia orang kedua dalam perintahku. Saya juga memiliki pejabat terbaik: wakil komisaris, inspektur, juri dan wasit. Saya tidak akan berada di sini dengan tanpa mereka. Bob Duffy menyatukan semuanya. Menurut saya pribadi dia luar biasa. Perjalanan saya berlanjut, Saya diberkati.”

VACANT BANTAMWEIGHT TITLE TO BE DECIDED AT NEF 34 IN PORTLAND

Portland, Maine (Mei 1, 2018) - Perkelahian New England (NEF) returns to Aura in Portland, Maine dengan acara seni bela diri campuran berikutnya, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” pada hari Sabtu malam, Bulan Juni 16, 2018. Sebelumnya hari ini, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur bantamweight championship bout to the card. Kam Arnold (3-0) akan bertemu Michael Crespo (3-3) for the vacant NEF amateur 135-pound title. The championship was previously held by Fred Lear (6-2) who vacated when he turned professional. The bout between Arnold and Crespo will make history as the first five-round amateur title fight in both NEF and Maine history. All previous amateur championship fights had been scheduled for three rounds.

Undefeated Kam Arnold has been on a hot streak since his debut in the summer of 2017. The product of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) di Lewiston, Maine has cut through all three of his previous opponents with little resistance. None have made it past the two-minute mark of the first round with Arnold. It took him a mere 11-seconds to knock out David Thompson with a single punch atNEF 33last month in Portland. Arnold considers the opportunity to fight for the bantamweight title the highlight of his fight career thus far.

“I’m ecstatic for the opportunity to bring Lewiston back a title,” said Arnold. “Everything I’ve gone through in my life has led me to this exact moment. Saya selalu mengatakan, even way back when I was a young lad, that I’m going to be champion one day. To be living the vision that I’ve had since being a small boy is just absolutely mind blowing. I’m great at what I do, and I will continue to prove everyone wrongall the naysayers and doubters. To all the people who have bullied me and talked s**t about my passion over the years, here’s a big ‘f**k you.I’m taking this one fight at a time, and I will continue this streak that I’m on. Setiap pertarungan, I want to go in there and just pulverize my opponent to the point that they never want to fight again. I’m the king of 135 and Crespo is going to feel the devastating power and strength I have on June 16th. If you even dream about beating me, you better wake up and apologize!"

Michael Crespo, “Kering” to his fans and teammates, is a six-fight veteran of the NEF cage. A perpetual contender for the bantamweight title over the years, Crespo’s biggest win came atNEF 18when he upset Caleb Costello (3-4) melalui keputusan bulat. He is currently a member of First Class MMA based in Brunswick, Maine.

Fighting for the 135 title is a great opportunity and a chance to showcase my style and skill against a formidable fighter,” said Crespo when reached for comment. “It’s a great opportunity to not only showcase my weapons, but to also solidify myself within the NEF talent pool as someone to be reckoned with. Let’s make it a show, Kam!”

Acara dicampur-seni bela diri NEF berikutnya, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” will take place at Aura in Portland, Maine on Saturday, Bulan Juni 16, 2018. Tickets are on-sale now online at www.AuraMaine.com.

Undefeated Puerto Rican Bantamweight Manny Rodriguez Ready for Former World Champion Paul Butler This Saturday at 02 Arena

Bantamweight contender Emmanuel “Manny” Rodriguez and his team have landed safely and ready to face former world champion Paul “Baby Faced Assassin” Butler for the vacant IBF World Championship, Sabtu ini, Mei 5, at the O2 Arena in London.

 

 

 

 

Presented by Matchroom Boxing, Rodriguez (17-0, 12 Biaya), Puerto Rico, and Butler (26-1, 14 Biaya), 29, Inggris, will meet in a 12-round supporting bout to the all-British rematch between former World Heavyweight Champions Tony Bellew (29-2-1, 19 Biaya) and David Haye (28-3, 26 Biaya).

 

 

 

 

Rodriguez almost had his very promising boxing career derailed for a time by an unfortunate car accident in which he burned 66% of his body. After a long rehab, he returned, and went on a, sejauh ini, 17-fight tear through the professional ranks.

 

 

 

The 25-year-old was the mandatory contender to face former champion Ryan Burnett, who chose to relinquish his belts. This allowed for Butler to slide into the fight for the unclaimed belt.

 

 

 

29-year-old Butler previously held the IBF belt, but before defending it, elected to drop down in weight to face then-champion Zolani Tete… and was stopped in the eighth round. He has won nine fights since.

 

 

 

“It has been a long road to this fight, but I am ready to win my first world championship,” said Rodriguez. “Paul Butler is a good fighter, tapi tidak ada yang bisa menghentikan saya. I have worked too hard to get here. It doesn’t matter that we’re in his backyard. I’ve done everything right getting ready for this and I look forward to bringing the belt back to my beloved country of Puerto Rico.”

 

 

 

Rodriguez’ co-promoter, Leon Margules Warriors Tinju, says a star will be born Saturday night.

 

 

 

“Manny has always been a superstar in the making. I am happy he is finally getting the chance to shine in front of a large audience, worldwide. I have no doubt he will win impressively and set himself up for several big showdowns in the near future.”

 

 

 

 

SHOWTIME® ANNOUNCES RAW AND REVEALING DOCUMENTARY CHRONICLING SPORTSCASTER MAURO RANALLO AND HIS LIFELONG BATTLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS

 

BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER Premieres During Mental Health Awareness Month

Pada Tanggal Hari Jumat, Mei 25 di 9 p.m. DAN/PT pada SHOWTIME

NEW YORK – April 30, 2018 – Prolific combat sports broadcaster Mauro Ranallo and his lifelong battle with mental illness are the subject of a new documentary film from SHOWTIME Sports®. BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER – named for the moniker Ranallo gave himself as a broadcast personality and DJ in the early 90’s – will premiere on SHOWTIME during Mental Health Awareness Month on Friday, Mei 25 di 9 p.m. ET / PT.

 

First look video: https://s.sho.com/2Ft4Mig

 

 

Ranallo has Bipolar Affective Disorder, a condition afflicting nearly five percent of the U.S. population according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI.org). As a national sportscaster for preeminent boxing, mixed martial arts and WWE events, Ranallo has long been an advocate for ending the stigma of mental illness. Saat Ini, untuk pertama kalinya, he exposes the true extent of his daily struggle. Through extensive behind-the-scenes video footage, candid personal interviews and detailed accounts from his loved ones and doctors, BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER takes an unflinching look at mental illness and its effects.

 

 

 

The film explores Ranallo’s career, including his work on the two biggest pay-per-view events in television history, and his relentless pursuit of a childhood dream despite seemingly insurmountable odds. Through this deeply personal portrait, Ranallo hopes that the film might inspire others to persevere in pursuing their dreams despite the challenges of a mental health condition.

 

 

 

“I have always tried to do my part to bring awareness to mental health issues,” said Ranallo. “Over the last several years, I allowed my best friend, Haris (Usanovic), to film me at my lowest points as well as at my highest. The idea is simply to show others who suffer that they are not alone and that, even when the outlook is bleak, you can overcome and achieve success. Mental illness is a life sentence—there is no cure—but it doesn’t have to be a death sentence.”

 

 

 

“Through BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER, Mauro Ranallo has chosen to share not only his life’s dreams, but his nightmares as well,"Kata Stephen Espinoza, Presiden, Sports and Event Programming for Showtime Networks Inc. “Having reached the pinnacle of his profession, Mauro bravely turns his keen observational skills inward to examine his own life-long battle. The result is a raw, poignant and ultimately inspirational film that personifies Mauro’s courage and selflessness.”

 

 

 

Ranallo is a popular fixture on today’s combat sports scenes. In a career that has spanned more than 30 tahun, he has called everything from “All-Star Wrestling,” a Canadian professional wrestling outfit, to historic MMA events for PRIDE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIPS out of Japan, to WWE SmackDown Live di USA Network, to many of the biggest boxing events in the world for SHOWTIME Sports. Ranallo was the first broadcaster to call play-by-play on boxing, kickboxing, MMA and professional wrestling events on national television.

 

 

 

Hari Ini, Ranallo is the voice of three prominent nationally televised series: SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®, WWE’s weekly show NXT on WWE Network, dan BELLATOR MMA on Paramount Network. Perhaps best known for his dramatic, excitable style, Ranallo is a student of the English language. He has already made a lasting mark on the industry having called the two biggest pay-per-view events in television history: Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao (Mei 2015, international telecast); dan Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor (Agustus. 2017, SHOWTIME PPV®).

 

BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER is produced by Brian Dailey, the network’s Vice President, Sports Digital Content and Strategy, and MALKA MEDIA GROUP. Directed by first-time filmmaker Haris Usanovic, the film is executive produced by Stephen Espinoza and SHOWTIME Sports.

Melson honored by Jewish Sports Heritage Association

BM.jpg

New York, NY (Bulan April 30, 2018) – Retired professional boxer and Army Public Affairs Officer Boyd Melson was inducted to the Jewish Sports Heritage Association Sunday, Bulan April 29.

 

 

 

A 501(C)(3), the Jewish Sports Heritage Association, INC is an educational organization dedicated to educating the public about the role Jewish men and women have played in sports and showing Jewish youth that there is nothing they cannot achieve.

 

 

 

All honorees were introduced by Master of Ceremonies Barry Landers at Temple Israel in Lawrence, NY. Each honoree then give a speech and received a plaque from the Jewish Sports Heritage Association.

 

 

 

Following a solid amateur career, Melson had an 18 fight pro career and finished with a record of 15-2-1 dengan 4 menang dengan KO. He won the WBC USNBC 154 pound title in 2015 and retired in 2016. While his pro career was definitely a success, Melson’s ultimate goal was to raise funds and awareness for multiple causes including chronic spinal cord injuries and narcotics addiction.

 

 

 

Between donating 100% of his fight purses, private donations and charity galas, Melson helped raise close to a half million dollars. Shortly after his retirement from pro boxing, Melson announced he was running for Congress in District 11, covering Staten Island and South Brooklyn. He was considered one of the top candidates and had strong support.

 

 

 

Pada bulan Desember 2017, the selfless Melson withdrew from the congressional race, volunteering to serve our country in Iraq. In offering to get deployed, Melson assisted another Army Reserve member that received a special opportunity domestically in the Reserve that would greatly benefit her family.

 

 

 

Currently in Iraq, Melson was elated when he was notified of this special honor, which was accepted by his mother Anette, Uncle Leo and retired Coloniel Alessi.

 

 

 

“Here we are. Earning an honor that was a product of me following what my heart beats with divine love, and having to receive this honor in harms way due to me making a choice that is consistent with my heart’s values. I find myself here helping by doing my part to defeat the ugliest and most horrific form of human endeavor I have ever experienced. While doing this, I am highly aware that the people I am helping, who are extremely welcoming and friendly, might look at me through a different lens if they knew I was and am Jewish. It is an interesting paradox. This honor I am receiving is solely dedicated to my Zayda and my Bubbe (grandmother and grandfather).

 

 

 

My Zayda left his body five years ago, and my Bubbe is one of the last Holocaust survivors on this planet. My Zayda was conscripted to serve to fight the Nazis in World War Two. HE SURVIVED. He created a family after surviving that absolute evil, and brought them all here to the United States. I am because of him. I am an American Citizen, born in this great country, because of his courage and strength. I think about this daily with where I am now, and I do mean daily. My Zayda put on a military uniform to fight an evil similar to how I am doing today. His spirit was close to my soul when I made this choice. I know I am being honored for being what I completed as a Jewish professional athlete, and I thank you. Please forgive me however for placing a much greater important at this moment, as an African American, as a Jew, as a West Point Graduate, as an Army Officer, as an athlete, and as a HUMAN BEING, on the narrative I gave above. That is what is sitting on me here. I hope one day, that every individual in this part of the world who we are helping, and who may not have kind feelings towards Jews, learns that Jewish American military servicemen came here and helped them because it was right and because we swore an oath. I see it as my responsibility being Jewish, being an American, and being a soldier.”
