Popular, 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, il Venerdì, Giugno 22, at Detroit’s Masonic Temple.

 

 

 

O'Quinn (8-0-1, 5 KO) 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: EDIZIONE SPECIALE (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.

 

 

 

I biglietti per l'evento, che è promossa da Promozioni Salita, sono disponibili presso 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 e $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. La formazione sta andando bene. 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,” said his promoter, 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 A PORTLAND

Portland, Maine (Maggio 2, 2018) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) torna a Aura a Portland, Maine con il suo prossimo evento di arti marziali miste, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” il Sabato notte, Giugno 16, 2018.

All'inizio di quest'anno, 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 Giugno 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, ed è, 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) al primo turno. 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,” ha detto 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.

PREVENTIVI & IMMAGINI DAGLI INDUCTEES DEL NYSBHOF

 


(L-R) – Ron McNair, Jake Rodriguez e Bob Duffy
JAKE RODRIGUEZ: “Voglio ringraziare Ring 8 per l'opportunità per me di essere qui. Vorrei anche ringraziare mia moglie per essere sempre lì per me, e il mio allenatore.”

(L-R) – Herb Goldman, Don Majeski e Bob Duffy
HERB GOLDMAN: “Se ho dato qualche contributo alla boxe – spero di averlo fatto – L'ho fatto ridefinendo la tenuta dei registri e creando una nuova prospettiva sulla storia della boxe. Ne sono orgoglioso, ma non l'ho fatto da solo.”
(L-R) – Joe Mesi, Jack Hirsch e Bob Duffy
JOE MESSI: “Ho così tante persone da ringraziare per questo onore. Sono un bufalo. Non c'è più nessuno a favore di una New York, ma non lo è. Questo è speciale per me perché è la New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. Questo mi consolida e mi fa pensare che non sono solo un ragazzo del posto. C'era un enorme svantaggio venendo da una piccola città, lo sparring non era lo stesso che nelle palestre di New York City, ma ho avuto un vantaggio venendo da New York occidentale. Nessuno sgorgava come noi a Buffalo 10,000, poi 16,00 e infine 18,000 persone. Sono sempre stati dietro di me e lo condivido con loro perché il loro supporto mi ha aiutato. Il mio sogno era combattere a Buffalo e continuare a combattere lì.
“Uno dei momenti salienti della mia vita è stato combattere Monte Barrett su HBO al Madison Square Garden. È stato uno dei più grandi combattenti al mondo che ha combattuto per il titolo mondiale. Ho sempre voluto ottenere il mio titolo mondiale, ma non l'ho mai avuto. Va bene, Sono stato un po' amareggiato per un po', ma non potrei essere più felice della mia carriera. La parte migliore della boxe è la fratellanza che condividiamo.

(L-R) – Randy Gordon, Ron Scott Stevens e Bob Duffy
RON SCOTT STEVENS: “So che la gente lo dice sempre, ma questa è la verità: Devo così tante persone che mi hanno supportato durante la mia carriera. La boxe è sempre stata una casa lontano da casa per me e oggi mi sento come se fossi a casa.
“Ero 30, vive a Brooklyn Heights, e ritorno alla guida di un taxi un'attesa sui tavoli. Una luce si è spenta nella mia testa: la boxe è lo sport del perdente e io sono un perdente. Il giorno dopo sono andato alla Gleason's Gym – il centro dell'universo. Ho fatto il giro di tutte le palestre della città, promotori di incontri, manager e formatori. Ho iniziato a creare partite per i promotori e poi Cedric Kushner mi ha assunto 1980-2002. In 2002, Ho ricevuto una chiamata per lavorare per la Commissione atletica dello Stato di New York in qualità di coordinatore della comunità e direttore della boxe. Poi, Sono stato nominato presidente e ho scontato due mandati. Oggi, Sono estremamente orgoglioso di far parte della New York State Boxing Hall of Fame.

(L-R) – Bob Duffy, Henry Hascup, Bob Goodman e Tommy Gallagher
BOB BUON UOMO: “Non posso credere a questa folla. Per fare quello che facciamo, i sacrifici e il supporto che ricevi dalla tua famiglia sono così importanti e (nel caso di Goodman) è stato per tanti anni. Ci hanno permesso di fare quello che facciamo. Tutti noi amiamo la boxe!”

(L-R) – Ray Mercer, Penny Allen, Al Cole, Clay Jenkins e Bob Duffy
AL COL: “Pensavo che la boxe fosse lo sport più stupido e stupido di sempre. Chi voleva essere preso a pugni in faccia? Ho iniziato a boxare tardi. Ho giocato con alcuni e la gente ha detto che ero abbastanza bravo. Ho iniziato a boxare quando lo ero 20, Nell'esercito, di stanza a Ft. cappuccio. Quattro anni dopo, Ero nella squadra olimpica. Il motivo è che ho avuto un ottimo sparring partner, Ray Mercer. Se dovessi essere sul ring tutti i giorni con Ray, O sarei stato picchiato, o migliora.
“Ricordo che Bob Arum mi diede il suo biglietto da visita. Non lo conoscevo. Conoscevo solo tre persone nella boxe: Don King, Muhammad Ali e Sugar Ray Leonard. Non ho seguito la boxe e l'unico motivo per cui ho boxato era che avrei dovuto dormire nel bosco se non l'avessi fatto (nell'esercito). La boxe è: colpiscilo, prima che mi colpisca.”

(L-R) – Bobby Cassidy, Jr., Jaime Drubin e Pete Brodsky
PETE BRODSKY: “Voglio ringraziare il consiglio. lo sarò 70 e ho iniziato nella boxe quando ero 18. Ha creato una nuova direzione nella mia vita. Sono così orgoglioso di essere in compagnia di ragazzi che non ne hanno solo parlato, lo adoravano. Se ami davvero questo sport, devi davvero impararlo. Qualsiasi uomo che sia salito sul ring, più tutti i lavori stradali, tempo in palestra e sacrificare ciò che mangiano, ha fatto per essere il meglio che possono essere.
“nel pugilato, non vincerai ogni combattimento, ma se un combattente vince o perde, se dà il 100 percento, è un vincitore. Fanno un lavoro, corri cinque miglia al giorno, allenarsi in palestra, e poi è tornato a casa per trascorrere del tempo con la sua famiglia. Gli amici e la famiglia ti danno sempre le spalle.”

(L-R) – Popoli Darryl & Melvina Lathan
MELVINA LATAM: “Sono senza parole. È meraviglioso. Lascivo (l'ex presidente del NYSAC Gordon), ti ricordi questa storia? C'erano solo tre giudici e, per sfortuna, uno si è ammalato. Ero seduto a bordo ring senza responsabilità. Randy ha detto che dovevo lavorarestasera. Ho detto che non avevo la licenza e non potevo farlo. ha detto Randy, 'Alza la mano destra', ed era acceso. Sono stato gettato lì dentro, ma andava bene.
“I miei più grandi successi sono i miei figli e mio marito. Non potrei chiedere una situazione migliore. E Ralph Petrillo fa parte della mia famiglia; era il mio secondo in comando. Ho anche avuto i migliori funzionari: vice commissari, ispettori, giudici e arbitri. Non sarei qui senza di loro. Bob Duffy ha messo insieme tutto questo. Personalmente penso che sia fantastico. Il mio viaggio continua, Sono benedetto.”

VACANT BANTAMWEIGHT TITLE TO BE DECIDED AT NEF 34 A PORTLAND

Portland, Maine (Maggio 1, 2018) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) torna a Aura a Portland, Maine con il suo prossimo evento di arti marziali miste, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” il Sabato notte, Giugno 16, 2018. Proprio oggi, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur bantamweight championship bout to the card. Kam Arnold (3-0) si incontreranno 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) in 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. L'ho sempre detto, 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. Ogni lotta, 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, “Crispy” 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) tramite decisione unanime. 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!”

prossimo evento mixed-arti marziali di NEF, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” will take place at Aura in Portland, Maine on Saturday, Giugno 16, 2018. Tickets are on-sale now online at www.AuraMaine.com.

Imbattuto portoricano pesi gallo Manny Rodriguez pronto per l'ex campione del mondo Paul Butler questo sabato a 02 Arena

Il contendente dei pesi gallo Emmanuel "Manny" Rodriguez e la sua squadra sono atterrati sani e salvi e pronti ad affrontare l'ex campione del mondo Paul "Baby Faced Assassin" Butler per il vacante Campionato del mondo IBF, questo Sabato, Maggio 5, alla O2 Arena di Londra.

 

 

 

 

Presentato da Matchroom Boxing, Rodriguez (17-0, 12 KO), di Puerto Rico, e Butler (26-1, 14 KO), 29, d'Inghilterra, si incontrerà in un incontro di supporto di 12 round per la rivincita tutta britannica tra l'ex campione del mondo dei pesi massimi Tony Bellew (29-2-1, 19 KO) e David Haye (28-3, 26 KO).

 

 

 

 

Rodriguez ha quasi avuto la sua promettente carriera di pugilato deragliata per un po 'da uno sfortunato incidente automobilistico in cui si è bruciato 66% del suo corpo. Dopo una lunga riabilitazione, è tornato, e ha continuato a, finora, 17-combattere la lacerazione tra i ranghi professionali.

 

 

 

Il 25enne era il contendente obbligatorio per affrontare l'ex campione Ryan Burnett, che ha scelto di abbandonare le sue cinture. Ciò ha permesso a Butler di scivolare nella lotta per la cintura non reclamata.

 

 

 

29-Butler, un anno, aveva in precedenza la cintura IBF, ma prima di difenderlo, ha scelto di scendere di peso per affrontare l'allora campione Zolani Tete ... ed è stato fermato all'ottavo round. Da allora ha vinto nove incontri.

 

 

 

“È stata una lunga strada per questa lotta, ma sono pronto per vincere il mio primo campionato del mondo,"Ha detto Rodriguez. "Paul Butler è un buon combattente, ma nulla mi può fermare. 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 dei Warriors Boxing, 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, In tutto il mondo. 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

Su Venerdì, Maggio 25 a 9 p.m. E/PT su Showtime

NEW YORK - aprile 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, Maggio 25 a 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. Ora, per la prima volta, 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,” ha detto 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,", Ha detto Stephen Espinoza, Presidente, 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 anni, 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 on 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.

 

 

 

Oggi, Ranallo is the voice of three prominent nationally televised series: Showtime Championship Boxing®, WWE’s weekly show NXT on WWE Network, e 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 (Maggio 2015, international telecast); e Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor (Agosto. 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.

Buitrago also fought a 12-round split draw in 2013 to then WBO Minimum World Champion Merlito Sabillo (12-0) in Manila, Filippine.

 

 

 

I will enter the ring in the best shape of my life with one objective in sight: to fulfill my dream of becoming the world champion and give my country a historic win,” Buitrago commented. “The battle is on and I hope to come out victorious.

Melson honored by Jewish Sports Heritage Association

BM.jpg

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

 

 

 

La 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 con 4 vittorie per 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.

 

 

 

Nel mese di dicembre 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.”
