Rugged Veteran Edner Cherry Takes on Dennis Galarza

In Lightweight Showdown in Co-Main Event

Meer! Austin Dulay and Chris Colbert Square-Off in Matchup of Unbeaten Super Featherweights & Sensationeel

Prospects Sebastian Fundora & Joey Spencer In

Action in Separate Matches

 

 

MINNEAPOLIS (April 10, 2018) – Premier Boxing Champions kicks off the 2018 season on FS1 and FOX Deportes on Friday, April 13 with five action-packed bouts on a three-hour televised show from the Armory in Minneapolis, featuring welterweight contender Jamal James vechten Abel Ramos in a 10-round main event in front of his hometown crowd.

 

 

 

In de co-main event, rugged veteran Edner Cherry clashes with rising lightweight Dennis Galarza in a 10-round bout and unbeaten super featherweights Austin Dulay en Chris Colbert square off in an eight-round match.

 

 

 

Meer, exciting 6-foot-6 super welterweight Sebastian “Towering Inferno” Fundora(8-0, 4 KO) zal op zich te nemen Veshawn Owens (9-0, 9 KO) in an eight-round match of unbeaten prospects. Sensational 18-year-old, 154-pound prospect Joey Spencer (1-0, 1 KO), a former No. 1 ranked amateur and nine-time national champion, veldslagen Ousmane Sylla (1-2, 1 KO) in a four round match. The televised action starts at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

The event marks the return of boxing to the Minneapolis Armory, a historic venue that hosted nearly 100 cards between 1915 en 1973, including a show headlined by all-time great Sugar Ray Robinson in 1942.

 

 

 

“This show is the perfect example of what Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes is all about – boxers at various stages of their career, each with something to prove in all action matches,” said Tim Smith, Vice President of Communications for Haymon Boxing. “The stakes are raised for Jamal James because he’s fighting in front of his hometown crowd and yo get in title the mix at 147 pounds and Abel Ramos wants to spoil all of that.

 

 

 

“Veteran Edner Cherry, who has tangled with Paulie Malignaggi and Timothy Bradley, and Dennis Galarza are both looking fighting to get into title contention. And it’s rare for unbeaten prospects like Austin Dulay and Chris Colbert to clash this soon in their careers. It all promises to be an exciting night of boxing on a night when the sports calendar isn’t crowded.”

 

 

 

James (22-1, 10 KO) is coming off the biggest victory of his career – a knockout over tough veteran Diego Chaves on Dec. 15. The 29-year-old James joined unified 147-pound champion Keith Thurman as the only boxer to have knocked out the durable Argentine. It was James second straight victory since suffering the only loss of his career – a unanimous decision defeat to Yordenis Ugas on Aug. 12, 2016. James hasn’t fought in his hometown of Minneapolis since he scored a unanimous decision over Mohammed Kayongo in 2013.

 

 

 

Ramos (18-2-2, 13 KO) will complete his move to the welterweight division by taking on James after making his welterweight debut with a stoppage of Emmanuel Robles last July. The 26-year-old out of Arizona has won three of his last four fights and his only pro defeats have come at the hands of top 140-pound contenders Regis Prograis and Ivan Baranchyk.

 

 

 

Kers (36-7-2, 19 KO) has defeated once-beaten contenders Haskell Rhodes and Omar Douglas since losing a split decision to Jose Pedraza in a 130-pound world title match in 2015. The 35-year-old Cherry of Wauchula, Florida has previously challenged Tim Bradley and Paulie Malignaggi during his career that included a 10-fight win streak after the Bradley bout.

 

 

 

Galarza (16-2, 9 KO), an outstanding amateur boxer, is stepping up in competition with this matchup against the more experienced Cherry. The 25-year-old Galarza, who’s from Brooklyn but trains in Orlando, has won three straight fights since losing a split decision to Cesar Alan Valenzuela on Sept. 16, 2016.

 

 

 

Dulay (11-0, 8 KO) was busy last year, fighting four times with only one fight going the distance. The 22-year-old southpaw from Nashville, Tennessee most recently scored a TKO victory over Carlos Padilla last August.

 

 

 

Colbert (7-0, 2 KO) has one of the most decorated amateur careers in New York City as he fights out of the renowned Atlas Cops and Kids Gym in Brooklyn. The 21-year-old is noted for his blazing hand and foot speed and he enters this fight coming off a unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Titus Williams last November.

CALEB HALL REACHES MILESTONE IN MIXED-MARTIAL-ARTS CAREER

Laat een reactie achter

Portland, Maine (April 10, 2018) – We all celebrate certain milestone birthdays in our youth that furnish a new level of freedom.

 

 

 

Perhaps the possibility of getting a driver’s license was the be-all, end-all at one point. Some eagerly await the option to vote or to serve their country through the military. And yes, many count the days to when they can toast responsibly with an adult beverage.

 

 

 

Caleb Hall’s grown-up goal, before he knew there were any restrictions against it, was to enter the mixed martial arts cage. Hij was 17, a senior wrestler and football player at Dirigo High School, when he learned of an upstart enterprise known as New England Fights.

 

 

 

“Ever since I started wrestling, I started watching MMA and became obsessed with it,” Hall said. “Then when I found out the promoter (Matt Peterson) was from my area and that there were actually fights in Lewiston, Ik kon het niet geloven. I didn’t even know I had to be 18.”

 

 

 

Eleven fights later, his face a tad more weathered but his spirit emboldened from taking on the top amateur competition in northern New England, Hall is turning professional.

 

 

 

Hall will step into the hexagon against 20-fight veteran John Ortolani at “NEF 33: Riptide.” The card will take place at Aura in Portland on Saturday, April 14.

 

 

 

“He’s a tough opponent. He’s been a pro lacrosse player, so he’s definitely an athlete,” Hall said of Ortolani. “He’s been knocked out nine times to strikes, so I’d say he definitely has a questionable chin. That’s something I can try to capitalize on.”

 

 

 

Teenagers and young adults approached Peterson in droves when he and Nick DiSalvo launched the local organization.

 

 

 

All were enamored with the idea of taking their athletic acumen and fighter’s heart to the cage, so Hall’s interest was nothing new to the matchmaker. Taking the next step to sign a contract was always a different story.

 

 

 

“Caleb is a special athlete,” Peterson said. “He called me when he was 17 years old and asked for a fight. I had to explain to him at that time that he was too young to compete, and to call me when he reached the legal age of 18. To my surprise, he actually called me back when he turned 18, and he’s been an NEF mainstay ever since.”

 

 

 

With family, friends and former teammates packed into the cage side seats, Hall stopped John Parker in 51 seconds that September night.

 

 

 

“That was crazy,"Hij zei. “I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into.”

 

 

 

Hall went 8-3 als amateur, winning his last three fights. His only NEF losses were to Aaron Lacey and Josh Harvey.

 

 

 

A run that started with a few-months-premature phone call ended with championship gold. Hall picked up the vacant NEF amateur featherweight title by submission over Erik Nelson in April 2016 and defended it by split decision against Johnny Crafts in September of that year.

 

 

 

“He never shies away from a challenge,” Peterson said. “Consistently during his time in the cage, he has embraced the opportunity to face the toughest guys. Whether it was Josh Harvey or (Brazilian jiu-jitsu) brown belt Johnny Crafts, he always goes for it. I don’t think he’s ever turned down a fight that I’ve approached him with, and that’s pretty much unheard of in the combat sporting space.”

 

 

 

Hall was set to make his pro debut when NEF made its initial Portland appearance last November, but he suffered a broken hand in training. The injury required surgery to install a plate, followed by months of physical therapy.

 

 

 

 

It all makes Ortolani (8-12), a Massachusetts native fighting out of Tampa, Florida, an interesting choice for getting those hands dirty once again. While the veteran has lost eight of his past 10 gevechten, he owns a win over a name synonymous with NEF, Bruce “Pretty” Boy” Boyington. Ortolani also took Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and Bellator Fighting Championships veteran Des Green to the cards before dropping a unanimous decision.

 

 

 

“If you want to make it in the pros, you’ve got to beat some guys, één,” Hall said. “I think it’s a perfect situation for my first pro fight. I hope his style plays into my hands. I’m going to be head hunting and going for that knockout.”

 

 

 

The fight will take place at the 155-pound lightweight limit. With the exception of two bouts, Hall’s amateur career was contested in the featherweight (145) klasse.

 

 

 

Hall chalks up the change to the normal growth pattern of young adulthood, although he added that his strength and conditioning routine also played a role.

 

 

 

“He’s a rare kind of competitor, a champion, and when he digs deep and slides it into the next gear, kijk uit,” Peterson said. “I’m looking forward to witnessing how he will define himself in the pro ranks. If his amateur career is any indication, he’s destined to make a name for himself and turn out some lights in the process.”

 

 

 

Look no farther than Hall’s recent travel itinerary for evidence of that commitment.

Hal, who relocated to Portland to attend college and train at Choi Institute shortly after his NEF debut, recently was in Florida for a two-week stint with the renowned American Top Team.

 

 

 

The eager 17-year-old has evolved into a man with a plan.

 

 

 

“There’s a Maine connection there with (UFC veteraan) Mike Brown, who is one of the head coaches. He originally trained at Choi Institute,” Hall said. “It was two weeks, just to get some training and see where I’m at. There are all kinds of UFC guys there to train and spar with. It’s a step up in the level of competition for sure.”

 

 

 

Opening bell for “NEF 33: Riptide” is set for 7 p.m. deze zaterdag, April 14. Voor tickets, telefoontje 207.772.8274 of ga naar www.auramaine.com.

CASEY “THE LADY HAWAIIAN PUNCH” MORTON Signs Management Contract With Prince Ranch Boxing

Laat een reactie achter

SAN FRANCISCO, ZOALS (April 9, 2018) – Prince Ranch Boxing (PRB) is happy to announce the signing of undefeated flyweight contender, Casey “The Lady Hawaiian Punch” Morton(7-0-3, 1 KO). Morton joins a stellar group of fighters under the (PRB) management team, which include Damien “Suiker” Vazquez (13-0, 7 KO), Blair “het Flair” Cobbs (8-0-1, 6 KO) en Issac “Canelito” Avlar (14-0, 9 KO) te noemen.

 

 

 

 

“After signing with Greg Hannley and Prince Ranch Boxing, I feel my career is headed in the right direction,” said Casey Morton, of San Francisco by way of Honolulu, Hawaii. “I’m going to take full advantage every opportunity that comes my way. I’m hungry to get to the top and I’m hoping to be fighting for a world title by the end of the year.”

 

 

 

“Casey is a sensational fighter with a great team behind her,” bepaald Greg Hannely, president of (PRB). “In addition to her tremendous fighting talent, she’s also got the image to transcend across all aspects of multimedia. She’s knocking on the doorstep of a world title and we want to get her in back in the ring as soon as possible.”

 

 

 

Morton, who trains out of the SNAC Research & Training Facility owned by Victor Conte, is coached by Nonito Donaire Sr., father of 2012 Fighter van het Jaar, Nonito Donaire Jr. Morton and Donaire Sr. have two fights together, and she couldn’t be happier.

 

 

 

“Working with Nonito Sr. has been a tremendous blessing to my career,” Morton ging verder. “Although we’ve only been together for a couple of fights, I’ve learned so much in that short period of time. I’m starting to sit down on my punches, which has added a significant amount of power to my punches. We are working great together.”

 

 

 

In her last fight on March 25, 2018, Morton, with Donaire Sr. in her corner, traveled to Manila, Philippines, and captured the WBO Asia Pacific titel, winning by a shutout unanimous decision against Nongmuay Kokietgym (13-4-3).

 

 

 

“I have a tremendous team behind me,” Morton concluded. “I want to thank Victor Conte, Nonito Donaire Sr., all my family and friends, and last by not least, Greg Hannley for supporting me on my journey to become a world champion. I give all credit to God for my blessed career.”

Al “Ijs” Cole & “Baby” Joe Mesi vereerd om opgenomen te worden in de New York State Boxing Hall of Fame

Laat een reactie achter

Zondag, April 29, inductie Diner

Kid Chocolate, James J. Corbett, Jack McAuliffe, Sam Taub, Bob & Murray Goodman leidt nieuwe klasse

NEW YORK (April 9, 2018) – Voormalig wereldkampioen cruiserweight Al “Ijs” Cole en ongeslagen, Nee.; 1 zwaargewicht mededinger “Baby” Joe Mesi zijn beiden buitengewoon vereerd en dankbaar om te worden ingewijd, samen met 21 anderen in de Klasse van 2018, naar de New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF).

 

 

 

De zevende jaarlijkse NYSBHOF inductie diner zal worden gehouden zondagmiddag (12:30-5:30 p.m. EN), April 29, nogmaals bij Russo’s On The Bay in Howard Beach, New York.

 

 

Cole (35-16-3, 16 KO), die uit Rockland County komt, vochten professionele tussen 1989 en 2011, won zijn eerste 15 en 27 van zijn aanvankelijke 28 pro gevechten. Hij veroverde de International Boxing Federation (IBF) Cruiserweight Wereldkampioenschap in 1992, toen hij een unaniem besluit van 12 ronden won over James Warring (14-1). Cole maakte vier succesvolle verdedigingen van de wereldtitel voordat hij doorging naar zwaargewicht.

 

 

 

 

 

“Ik wist dat ik op een dag zou komen en ik ben vereerd om opgenomen te worden in de New York State Boxing Hall of Fame, vooral met deze klasse omdat ik een paar andere vechters ken zoals Lou Del Valle en Terrance Alli.” Zei Cole. “Ik stond bekend als een publiekstrekker, opwindende vechter, en mensen die naar me keken, wisten altijd dat ik een goed gevecht zou hebben met goede uitwisselingen. Ik heb gevochten in de schaduw van (Mike) Tyson en Roy (Jones. Jr.).

 

 

 

“Ik vocht in het leger met Ray Mercer, stak Evander Holyfield tijdens het sparren. Mijn beste gevecht, hoewel, doet me het meest pijn. Ik was zo scherp tegen een vechter van Kronk Gym, Vincent Boulware, in mijn derde wereldtitelverdediging dat jaar (1993). Boulware had zes van zijn laatste zeven gevechten gewonnen met vier knock-outs en ik begon net een fatsoenlijke naam te worden, Als ik hem versla, Ik had tegen Tommy Hearns of Iran Barkley moeten vechten, die beiden op weg waren naar cruiserweight. Ik had het beste gevecht uit mijn carrière, maar ik kon geen van de andere wereldkampioenen cruiserweight tegen me laten vechten. Ik heb maar vier gevechten gehad in de komende drie jaar. Ik ging naar zwaargewicht omdat dezelfde jongens die ik versloeg toen ze mijn verplichte uitdager waren (Uriah Grant & Nate Miller) werkten hun weg terug naar de verplichte positie.”

 

 

 

Cole groeide op in Atlantic City, waar hij vocht 18 tijden, en hij leerde een casino-eigenaar kennen, Donald Trump. “We hingen rond,” Cole herinnerde het zich. “Trump nodigde me uit voor enkele van zijn privéfeesten. Ik had nooit gedacht dat hij president zou worden!”.

 

 

 

Mijnik (36-0, 29 KO) was zo populair in Buffalo, hij werd beschouwd als de derde sportfranchise in de staat New York (Rekeningen en sabels). Een Amerikaanse top amateur, “Baby Joe” professioneel gevochten tussen 1997 en 2007, opstapelen 36 overwinningen zonder nederlaag, toch heeft hij nooit een wereldtitel geschoten vanwege een medisch probleem. Gerangschikt als hoog op nr. 1 door de World Boxing Council (WBC) Mesi werd geschorst door de commissie van Nevada, nadat hij voormalig wereldkampioen Vassily Jirov versloeg door middel van een unaniem besluit van 10 ronden, als gevolg van hoofdletsel (hersenbloeding).

 

 

 

Mesi stond vrijwel op de zwarte lijst tijdens het boksen, twee volle jaren verliezen in de ring, terwijl hij juridische stappen ondernam om een ​​nieuwe vergunning te krijgen, wat hij uiteindelijk was, maar slechts door een paar commissies. Joe vocht zeven keer nadat hij opnieuw een licentie had gekregen, maar hij was helaas beperkt in termen van waar hij kon vechten, en hij herwon nooit de verheven status die hij ooit had gehad. Naast Jirov, Mesi versloeg notabelen als Monte Barrett, DeVarryl Williamson en Jorge Luis Gonzalez.

 

 

 

“Dit is een geweldige tijd voor mij,” Mesi gaf commentaar over zijn aanstaande introductie. “Ik voel me nederig en vereerd dat ik naar dezelfde Hall of Fame mag gaan met de grote namen die er al zijn. Ik ben het nu allemaal aan het weken.

 

 

 

“Ik ben een beetje verwijderd van het boksen, maar alleen het zakelijke einde. Ik ben nog steeds een grote boksfan en volg de sport. Vandaag, Ik ben getrouwd en heb drie kinderen en verkoop medische apparaten voor de kost. Boksen is nog steeds mijn passie, mijn liefje, en sinds ik het telefoontje kreeg (dat hij naar de NYSBHOF gaat), Ik heb aan alle herinneringen nagedacht. Ik zou graag wat meer tv-aankondigingen doen in boksen en, misschien ooit, begin met het promoten. Ik kijk erg uit naar de introductieceremonie van de New York State Boxing Hall of Fame.”

 

 

 

Living boksers post in de NYSBHOF omvatten (Long Island) WBA licht zwaargewicht Lou “Honey Boy” Vallei (36-6-2, 22 KO), (Central Islip) IBF junior weltergewicht wereldkampioen Jake Rodriguez (28-8-2, 8 KO), en (Brooklyn) wereld lichtgewicht titel uitdager Terrence Alli (52-15-2, 21 KO).

stops Larry Smith in 5

Undefeated New England prospects

Richard Rivera & Irvin Gonzalez

Register sensational 1st round knockouts

 

 

“Fight Night at The Zone”

Officiële resultaten

 

 

 

 

DERRY, N. H. (April 8, 2018) — The official weigh in was held today for tomorrow (Zaterdag) evening’s “Fight Night at the Zone,” gepresenteerd door Granite Chin Promotions, at The Sportszone in Derry, New Hampshire.

 

 

 

 

In het main event, Dorchester, MA junior middleweight Gabriel Duluc (12-3, 3 KO) used a vicious body attack to stop veteran Texas fighter Larry “Slomoshun” Smid in de vijfde ronde. A right to the liver put Smith down, but he beat the referee Mike Ryan‘s count. Smith was unable to recover as he was pinned on the ropes by Duluc, who reeled off a dozen unanswered punches, forcing referee Ryan to end the fight.

LAS VEGAS (April 7, 2018) – Jarrett Hurd unified the 154-pound division with a 12-round split-decision victory over Erislandy Lara in an all-action fight Saturday on SHOWTIME before a sold-out crowd of 2,579 at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

 

 

 

 

Hurd (22-0, 15 KO), who entered as IBF Champion, dethroned WBA Champion in just the seventh unification in division history. The difference in the Fight of the Year candidate was a short left hook that floored Lara in the final minute of the fight. Had the 27-year-old Hurd not scored the knockdown, the fight would have been ruled a majority draw.

 

 

 

 

“It was a tough one, but I went out there and did exactly what I said I was going to do – fight all 12 rounds and get the victory,"Zei Hurd. “I didn’t feel like that (I needed the knockdown). I feel like I was in control the whole fight, applying the pressure.

 

 

 

 

“I don’t think it had anything to do with age. I think it was me and the game plan we had to apply the pressure.”

 

 

 

 

Following the thrilling bout, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray asked Hurd if he’d like to face WBC 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo, who was ringside, to further unify the division.

 

 

 

 

“’Swift’ isn’t ducking anyone,” Hurd responded. “I’m No. 1 nu. We’re calling the shots.”

 

 

 

 

Hurd applied relentless pressure from the opening round, pressing forward against the crafty southpaw. He pounded the body, yet often neglected defense and ate punishing counter shots for 11 rondes. But the difference for Lara (25-3-2, 14 KO), who was making the seventh defense of his title, was the brutal 12th ronde. With blood seeping from a swollen right eye, Hurd connected on a short left hook that floored Lara for the first time in nearly five years.

 

 

 

 

“Besides the last round, I thought I was winning this fight easily,” Lara said. “That’s not to decide the fight. Ik was het winnen van de strijd. One punch in a fight doesn’t determine the fight.

 

 

 

 

“Het was een geweldig gevecht voor de fans. I stood there, fought and it was fun. I thought I clearly won the fight. Once again a decision goes against me, but h​ey we just have to do the rematch.”

 

 

 

 

Entering the fight, Charlo was the consensus No. 1 fighter at 154-pounds. He stated his case for a chance to unify against Hurd.

 

 

 

 

“I’m down. Laten we gaan. We want that work,” Charlo told SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host Brian Custer. “I feel Hurd only took the fight with Lara because he realized the harder fight is with Jermell Charlo.

 

 

 

 

“We’ve been there before with Lara. I know what he possesses. Hurd has to get his defense together because he cannot get hit like that by me. Lara doesn’t move like he used to. If he moves like he used to he wins that fight.”

 

James DeGale earned back the IBF Super Middleweight World Championship with a unanimous decision in a rematch with Caleb Truax, taking back the title he lost last December in the near-universal upset of the year.

 

 

 

 

The 12-round championship affair was scored 117-110 en 114-113 tweemaal. DeGale, who was deducted a point in the 10th for pushing, won the championship rounds – 11 en 12 – on all three judges’ scorecards to win the decision.

 

 

 

 

“Two-time world champion. Het voelt geweldig,” DeGale said. “But full credit to Caleb – he shows he can mix it with the top fighters.

 

 

 

 

“I’m just happy that I’m a two time world champion and I got my IBF world title back. Ik ben terug, Team Chunky, we’re back. Two-and-a-half years I had it and I lost it to Caleb. He embarrassed me, but we’re back.”

 

 

 

 

DeGale (24-2-1, 14 KO) overcame a massive cut from an accidental head butt in the third, which was mistakenly ruled as the result of a punch from referee Robert Byrd.

 

 

 

 

“I couldn’t see from my right eye, DeGale said. “I like Robert Byrd (scheidsrechter), but today he was a bit wrong. I couldn’t see. But I’m just glad I got through it. I showed some heart. In mijn laatste gevecht, I was like a weak little kid.”

 

 

 

 

DeGale connected on 37 percent of his power shots compared to 28 percent for Truax. He now returns to London a world champion with some massive potential fights in the future.

 

 

 

 

“I want to be busy,” DeGale said. “I have a couple years left in this sport.”

 

 

 

 

Truax (29-4-2, 18 KO), who fought for the first time as a world champion, was disappointed and advocated for a rematch after the scores were announced.

 

 

 

 

“I thought I did enough to win the fight, but I also thought I was pretty flat and didn’t get my shots off like I wanted,” Truax said. “I was just a little bit flat. I felt really good coming in but I just couldn’t get my shots off like the last fight. Hij me nooit kwaad, maar het is wat het is.

 

 

 

 

“I gave him a rematch straight away so why not do it again.”

 

 

 

 

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader, Julian Williams scored a career-best win, defeating Nathaniel Gallimore via majority decision in an IBF Junior Middleweight World Title eliminator. Williams, who edge Gallimore 116-112, 117-110, 114-114, is now in position to challenge Jarrett Hurd.

 

 

 

 

Williams (25-1-1, 15 KO) set the pace with a strong left jab in the opening rounds of the fight, keeping Gallimore at bay and the action on the outside. That changed around the fifth round as Williams abandoned the jab and the fight moved to the inside. Williams had his best round in the 11th, connecting on a massive left hand that set up a barrage of combos that nearly had Gallimore out on his feet. Gallimore (20-2-1, 17 KO) survived the round, and Williams wasn’t able the finish him in the 12th, but it was clear Williams deserved the decision.

 

 

 

 

“I wasn’t surprised a judge had a draw,'Zei Williams. “Sometimes when you’re fighting real close like that, it is hard for judges to score. I knew I won. Once I heard 116-112 en 117-111, I knew I won because I knew he didn’t win eight rounds.

 

 

 

 

“He is a strong fighter, but I knew he was going to do what he did. Start strong early, but I knew he wasn’t strong after six rounds.

 

 

 

 

“The hits to the body was all in the game plan. You have to go to the body in a 12 round fight.”

 

 

 

 

Williams connected on 50 percent of his power shots and landed 37 procent van zijn totale shots.

 

 

 

 

 

“I didn’t really think I won the fight,” Gallimore admitted. “I just let too many early rounds go. I just gave him too many rounds. I had him hurt a couple of times, but he was tough. I should have done more combinations. I will look at the fight and review it, and will make adjustments.”

 

 

 

 

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will replay on Monday at 10 p.m. ET / PT op SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Lenin Castillo grabs WBO Gold in Ponce, Puerto Rico

Laat een reactie achter

Ponce, Puerto Rico – Former Dominican Olympian Lenin Castillo (18-1-1, 13 KO's) won the WBO/NABO vacant light heavyweight title in impressive fashion. Castillo defeated Aaron “Homicide” Mitchell (27-3-1, 21 KO's) of Florida by way of technical knockout in the 10th and final round.

 

 

 

 

As a result of the victory, Castillo will now be ranked among the best 175 pound fighters in the WBO.

 

 

 

 

The fight was televised by DIRECTV PR as part of a card promoted by Miguel Cotto Promotions at the Complejo Ferial, Ponce, PR.

 

 

 

 

“I am very grateful to my manager Raúl Pastrana from Spartan Boxing Club, Miguel Cotto Promotions and the WBO for making this fight possible with an important title at stake that will place me among the best fighters of my weight,” Said Castillo, “This victory is for my Dominican people, my dad, my mom and also for the Puerto Ricans who made me feel at home since I arrived on the island for the fight”.

 

 

 

 

“I prepared myself to the max and these are the results of working hard in the gym. Since I landed a good shot at Mitchell, he decided to survive the whole fight and did not let me use everything I had saved for him. But the important thing was that we won all the rounds without losing concentration”, expressed Castillo, who was training in Florida under the supervision of Maury Ramos of KMJ with the assistance of Chiro Pérez from 5th St Gym.

GH3 Promotions fighters shine in Philly!

Laat een reactie achter

Nutley, NJ (April 6, 2018)-Two of GH3 Promotions top fighters remained undefeated last Friday night at The Fillmore in Philadelphia.

 

 

 

Super middengewicht Ronald Ellis won a six-round unanimous decision over Taneal Goyco, terwijl Joey Alday, Jr. kept his perfect knockout record intact by stopping Michael Crain in the 3rd round of their junior middleweight bout.

 

 

 

Ellis battered the upset-specialist Goyco for much of the fight, and almost had the tough Philadelphian stopped several times during the fight. Ellis of Lynn, Massachusetts cruised home by with the victory by scores of 60-53 tweemaal en 59-54 om zijn stempel te verhogen 15-0-2.

 

 

 

Alday, who was making his debut under the GH3 Promotions banner, fought as expected by using good boxing skills while mixing power shots. He just needed a wicked body shot to end things at at 1:28 of round three to keep unblemished at 7-0 met 7 knock-outs.

 

 

 

“Ronald came back very nicely after a tough fight in February,” zei Vito Mielnicki, CEO van GH3 Promotions, who was referring to Ellis’ disputed draw with Junior Younan in February. “His next fight will be another significant fight against a top opponent. He is a couple fights away from something big in the super middleweight division. As for Joey, he performed terrific. He is a big junior middleweight who displayed both boxing skills and power. We will bring him along nicely, and have him back in May.”
