Kan Saunders sikre sig sin mest imponerende gevinst til dato over Lemieux?

Billy Joe Saunders tager til ringen i december 16 i Canada som den regerende og forsvarende WBO-mellemvægtmester, at være den stolte ejer af et bælte, som han vandt helt tilbage i december 2015 når besejre medrejsende Andy Lee.

 

Men siden han udpegede irske Lee med en flertalsbeslutnings succes at blive verdensmester på Manchester Arena, Saunders har kun forsvaret det ved to lejligheder, med enstemmig beslutning triumferer over Artur Akavov og Willie Monroe Jr., for nylig.

 

Mod spillet russisk Akavov, den ubesejrede verdens titelholder var langt fra imponerende og måske endda heldig at få en så behagelig beslutning i sidste ende på Lagoon Leisure Centre på skotsk jord. Sejren over den amerikanske udfordrer Monroe Jr var meget bedre, efter at have påtaget sig Dominic Ingle som sin nyeste træner.

 

Men sidstnævnte kamp var stadig en trist affære og gjorde intet for at fremme eller øge Saunders’ appellerer til et bredere publikum, da han overarbejdede den New York-fødte Southpaw ganske behageligt. For det meste af titelforsvaret, han blev slet ikke brugt til at arbejde, med Monroe, der er kommet ind med et bizart ineffektivt gameplan.

 

Men, den 28-årige næste vil uden tvivl møde hans hårdeste karriere test til dato mod tidligere £ 160-mester David Lemieux, en langt mere seriøs udfordring end en uerfaren og ungdommelig Chris Eubank Jr., en ligeglad Andy Lee og langt fra at true Willy Monroe Junior.

 

Hårdtslående canadiske Lemieux kommer ind i ringtovene som den jævnlige outsider i de seneste boksodds at sejre på hjemlandet, en lovende pris for en kæmper med en kraftig bølge af sejre for sent. Siden blev ondskabsfuldt stoppet i et galant show mod divisionens kongehoved Gennady Golovkin i oktober 2015, 28-åringen har vundet fire sejre i træk, inklusive to store knockouts af Glen Tapia og Curtis Stevens.


Af alle modstandere har Saunders gået tå til tå med til dato, ingen har haft Lemieuxs stansekraft, og det kunne være en afgørende faktor for kampnat. Sidstnævnte hjemhåb fremmes af Oscar De La Hoyas Golden Boy, der tilsyneladende er ivrige efter at matche den canadiske med den største pengeko Saul 'Canelo’ Alvarez næste år, snarere end at smide ham med 'GGG’ endnu en gang i en meget ventet omkamp.

 

På trods af at være favoritten til at sejre og opretholde sin ubesejrede rekord om, hvad der bliver hans jomfruforetagende uden for Storbritannien i sin professionelle karriere, det ser ud til, at oddsene faktisk er stablet mod Saunders for dette seneste møde.

 

Det har været tydeligt, for, at Saunders ikke kan prale af den massive magt, der er i stand til at holde en flådfodet Lemieux væk fra fareområderne i hele deres match-up. Knockout-kunstneren Lemieux producerede det, der til sidst kunne vælges til årets stop tilbage i marts, da han brutalt satte Stevens’ lyser ud i New York City.

 

Kan en anden ondskabsfuld succes være på kortene i hjemmet? Det er op til Saunders og Ingle at udføre deres kommende gameplan perfekt for at sikre, hvad der ville være en meget imponerende sejr på vejen, men det ser sandsynligt ud til at blive en virkelig testnat i Quebec.

Granite Chin’sRumble at The RIM” Officielle resultater

Richard “Popeye the Sailor Man” Rivera
Good to finish because he eats his spinach
Russell Kimber wins pro debut
HAMPTON, N.H. (December 9, 2017) — Colorful light heavyweight prospect Richard “Skipper Skræk Man” Rivera forblev ubesejret (5-0, 4 KOS), veteran Roberto “Den Gamle” Valenzuela, last night (Lør) i “Rumble at The RIM” main event, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, at The RIM Sports Complex in Hampton, New Hampshire.
Rivera, fighting out of Hartford (CT), controlled the action from the opening bell against his battle-tested opponent from Mexico, who had a tremendous experience advantage in his 147th pro kamp, compared to Rivera’s fifth.
Valenzuela spent most of the time on the ropes, while Rivera teed-off on him, until a beautiful placed left hook by Rivera decked Valenzuela, who failed to get up until after referee Mike Ryan completed the 10-count.
A busload of Rivera’s fans drove five hours from Hartford through a snowstorm, arriving just before Rivera entered the ring. “That means a lot to me,” Rivera smiled as he spoke about his fans. “We’re more than a gym, vi er familie.
I was so used to an amateur style but now I’m a pro. I’m relaxing and picking my punches. Næste, I want to win the New England title. It’s vacant and I want it!”
This was our first show in New Hampshire and I consider it a success,” co-promoter Chuck Shearns sagde, “despite some things going against us like tonight’s weather. We’re grateful for the support we received from Hampton, New Hampshire, the commission and local businesses. They worked with us and we can’t wait to return.
The son and nephew of multiple-time world kickboxing championsfather Tommy and uncleworked his cornerPeabody, MA Russell Kimber had a promising pro debut against tough Nathan Schulte in a match contested at a 185-pound catchweight. The 32-year-old Kimber, who was the crowd favorite having lived several years in New Hampshire, overcame the determined Schulte for a hard-fought victory by way of a four-round majority decision.
I was a little nervous with this being my first time in a pro ring,” Kimber admitted after his fight. “I hadn’t been in a ring for 1 ½ years and there was some ring rust. Nu, I know what I need to good, and I’ll be a lot better next fight. This was my first camp and I’ve learned a lot. I’d like to stay busy, come back in late January, early February.
Undefeated Whitman, MA junior welterweight prospect Mike “Bad Man” Ohan, Jr.charged across the ring, unloading a powerful right that immediately sent Bardraiel Smith to the canvas. Smith somehow got to his feet but Ohan quickly ended Smith’s night, only 30-second into round one, as referee Ryan waved off the action.
New England cruiserweight champion and the show’s co-promoter, Iraq War veteran Chris Traietti (25-5, 19 KOS) outclassed Fabian Valdez en route to a win by second-round knockout in a stay-busy fight to close out 2017. In a non-title fight contested at a 185-pounds catchweight, the Quincy, MA-based Traietti floored his game Mexican opponent with a straight right midway through the opening round, closing the show in the second round with a series of unanswered punches.
The only New Hampshire native on the card, Claremont junior middleweight Ricky Ford(1-1-1) won his first pro fight, taking a lop-sided, four-round unanimous decision over pro MMA fighter Andy Aiello, who made his pro boxing debut.
In another stay-busy fight, former world-rated Ryan “Den polske Prince” Kielczweski(27-3, 9 KOS), fighting out of Quincy (MA), needed only 51-seconds to finish off Mexican lightweight Francisco “El MonoMedal. Kielczweski hit Medal with a with a lethal left to the body, leaving Medal in obvious pain and unable to rise before the 10-count.
New Jersey middleweight Chris “Sandman” Thomas (7-0-1, 4 KOS) kept his unbeaten pro record intact with a second-round stoppage of Demetrius Thomas. Thomas used a rapid-fire combination to drop Thomas, who beat the count, but he was getting hammered when referee Ryan stopped the fight late in the second round.

I’m excited to kick off 2018 with three straight weeks of LFA action across the country”, Erklærede Soares. “Curtis Millender and Nick Barnes are coming off big wins in LFA headliners and will meet in the main event of LFA 30 in southern California on January 12th. The following week, we head to Arizona with top contenders Bobby Moffett and Thanh Le meeting for the interim featherweight title in the main event LFA 31. We finish the month with two title fights at LFA 32 in southern Louisiana. Brendan Allen faces Anthony Hernandez for the vacant middleweight title in the main event and Ryan Spann will take on Alex Nicholson for the inaugural light-heavyweight title in the co-headliner.
Millender (13-3) returns home to the building where he fought and won his first seven fights. The Orange County juggernaut is looking to build off a perfect 2017 where he won three fights, including back-to-back LFA headliners. His most recent win came via highlight reel Head Kick KO in the main event of LFA 24. Millender will meet Barnes (12-2) in a long-awaited showdown between two of southern California’s finest. The welterweight stars started their careers in the southern California regional circuit, moved on to Bellator, and will finally meet in the main event of LFA 30. Barnes, like Millender, is coming off an impressive win in an LFA headliner.
Den vigtigste begivenhed af LFA 31 is a fight that casual fans and MMA purists alike are salivating over. It pits a rugged and accomplished BJJ black belt in Moffett (10-2) against one of the most dynamic strikers in all of MMA in Le (7-1) with the LFA interim featherweight title on the line. På papiret, this is a textbook grappler vs. striker bout at its highest form. Men, both men bring so much more to the table than what their respective martial arts backgrounds represent. Moffett, who trains out of The MMA Lab, has shown a willingness to throw down with anyone, while Le trains with BJJ wunderkind and UFC star Ryan Hall in northern Virginia.
LFA will conclude its busy month of January with a pair of title tilts in southern Louisiana. LFA standout and Louisiana native Allen (8-2) will get a second shot at LFA gold after going five rounds with current UFC star Eryk Anders for the inaugural LFA middleweight title in June. Allen quickly rebounded six weeks later with a submission win in the co-main event of LFA 18. He will face another highly-touted undefeated prospect for the title. This time it comes in the form of the northern California destroyer Hernandez (5-0). Manden er kendt som “Fluffyhas finished everyone he has faced inside the first round.
Co-main event af LFA 32 will crown the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight champion. Spann (12-5) is a former Legacy FC title challenger that will look to capture LFA gold in front of his home crowd. “Superman” is riding considerable momentum heading into this fight after dispatching a pair of top contenders in the first round of his last two bouts at LFA 23 and LFA 27. He will face Nicholson (10-4) who has been a man on fire since his four-fight run with the UFC ended in May. The Florida native has been a tour de force since then as he looks to make his way back. In the past two months, “The Spartanhas knocked out three quality opponents in grand total of 3 minutter og 28 sekunder.
