Laat een reactie achter

PHILADELPHIA, PENN./ORANGE, Calif. (Oktober. 19, 2017) – Heralded prospects, vedergewicht Ruben Villa (8-0, 4KO) and junior lightweight Michael Dutchover (6-0, 4 KO) will return to action deze zaterdag night on the non-televised portion of an HBO Boxing After Dark® card at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.
Villa of Salinas, Californië zal op zich te nemen 103 fight veteran German Meraz in a featherweight bout, while Dutchover of Santa Fe Springs, California via Midland, Texas will fight Anthony De Jesus Ruiz in a junior lightweight contest.
Villa and Dutchover are co-promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.
Both are training in Santa Fe Springs, California and are ready for their 2nd appearances on the East Coast.
Each fighter chimed in with thoughts on their respective battles.
“Everything has gone good in training camp. I just fought four weeks ago, but I stay ready and that is the case now. I am ready for Saturday night,” zei Villa.
Meraz is by far the most veteran opponent that Villa has faced. He has been in the ring with 25 undefeated opponents and 9 wereldkampioenen.
“I just need to be patient against him. He has over 100 fights and knows his way around the ring. If a knockout presents itself then I have to take it, but I want to display my skills.”
Being on a big card has the 20 year-old Villa excited, and he is looking to endear himself to the New York fight crowd.
“I am excited to be fighting on a bigger show. It motivates me to do better and get on the broadcast someday soon. It is very exciting to be on these types of events.”
This will be the ninth bout for Villa in just fifteen months he is very happy about the progress of his career.
“When I signed the plan was to be active, and that has been the case. I would like to get one more fight in this year. But I first I am very excited to put on a great performance op zaterdag nachts.”
Dutchover has moved his camp from Texas to California, and the results have been very good as he heads into his bout op zaterdag.

“Alles gaat goed. I just fought last month, and I felt good. I am ready to go back to the east coast, and put on a great show.”
Like Villa, Dutchover was very impressive in his east coast debut on April 14th, and he is looking to cement himself as one of the top prospects in the junior lightweight division.
“This is nothing new. I have fought on big shows before in the amateurs. The ring is my home. As long as I am in the ring, I will do my thing and put on an impressive performance.”
Even though Dutchover has very little to go on when it comes to scouting Ruiz, Dutchover is already a young veteran and is leaving no stone unturned.
“I do not know much about him, but I am prepared for anything he will bring, and then I will adjust. I have had many different sparring partners with diverse styles, so that gets me ready for any opponent.”
“I planned for this, and I train hard. I am always ready when I get the call for a fight. I am glad that I have been busy, and I have been improving with each fight, and next year should be a good year in my career. I have a mentality that if I train hard, the fight is easy. When I get in the ring, I just like to have fun.”

Laat een reactie achter
Oktober. 28 in Mohegan Sun

Clark Sammartino

De andere nieuwe CBHOF-inductees zijn pioniersbokser “Professor” Charles Hadley, ring arts Dr. Tony Alessi, scheidsrechter / rechter Dick Flaherty, boksen schrijver En Parker en bokser / boksmedewerker Hugh Devlin, Sr.
Afgestudeerd aan de Brown University, de nu 80-jarige Sammartino heeft twee andere carrières genoten als kaakchirurg en investeringsadviseur bij Blue Fin in Providence, naast zijn rol als internationaal boksrechter sindsdien 1985.
“Ik begon met boksen omdat Joey Angelo trouwde met mijn neef,” Legde Sammartino uit. “Hij vocht begin jaren veertig terug. Joey vocht twee keer tegen Willie Pep en tegen Sandy Saddler. Dat is waar ik mee begon. Vroeger hadden we het geweldige Maandag Night Fights in Rhode Island Auditorium en ik herinner me hoe ik Rocky Marciano zag vechten “Tijger” Ted Lowry daar.”
Omdat hij een succesvolle kaakchirurg was, Clark zou lange weekenden nodig hebben om over de hele wereld gevechten te beoordelen. Zijn eerste en meest memorabele wereldtitelgevecht was Vinny Paz-Greg Haughn I. Door zijn lange carrière, Sammartino oordeelde meer dan 400 pro gevechten, inclusief 50 grote wereldtitelgevechten.
De lijst met boksers wiens gevechten Sammartino beoordeelde, leest als een Who’s Who of Boxing in het verleden 32 jaar: Mike Tyson, Oscar de la Hoya, Evander Holyfield, Julio Cesar Chavez, Johnny Tapia, Naseem Hamed, Chris Eubank, Marco Antonio Barrera, Mark Johnson, Wayne McCullough, Wladimir Klitschko, Gennady Golovkin, Anthony Joshua, Sergey Kovalev, Bernard Hopkins, Juan Manuel Lopez, Nonito Donaire, Acelino Freitas, Ivan Calderon, Felix Trinidad, Tommy Morrison en nog veel meer.
Sammartino, die trots zegt dat hij nooit een dag werken heeft gemist 40 jaar, heeft besloten met pensioen te gaan, hoewel hij de rest van zijn leven een boksfan zal blijven. “Ik begon op mijn leeftijd te vertragen, het doen van lokale shows en misschien wel drie of vier wereldtitelgevechten per jaar, meestal WBO en IBF,” Merkte Sammartino op. “Ik heb in het verleden een zware aanval gehad met longontsteking 5-6 maanden en dat maakte het werken moeilijk.”
Zijn CBHOF-introductie is een passend einde en een geweldig eerbetoon aan Sammartino en zijn bokscarrière. “Ik voel me nederig om opgenomen te worden in de Connecticut Boxing Hall of Fame,” he said. “Dit is een geweldige manier om mijn carrière te beëindigen.”

New boxing chapter to start for former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Napao” Gonzaga

Laat een reactie achter
Oktober 28 in Worcester, MA
WORCESTER, Massa. (Oktober 19, 2017) – The next chapter of former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Napao” Gonzaga starts October 28th when he makes his professional boxing debut fighting on the “New England Future 4” kaart, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “New England's Future”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) in Worcester, Massachusetts.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, twee divisie wereldkampioen Jose Antonio Rivera en zijn zoon, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
The 38-year-old Gonzaga teaches Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (BJJ) in Worcester and lives nearby in Ludlow (MA). An imposing physical fighter, de 6′ 2″, 260-pound Gonzaga (17-11-0, 7 KO, 9 SUBs, 1 December), houdt 4th degree black belt in BJJ. The highlight of his MMA career was at the 2007 UFC 70, held in Manchester, Verenigd Koninkrijk, in which he knocked out K-1, Pride and Rizen champion Mirko Cro Cop with a head kick in the opening round, positioning Gonzaga for his unsuccessful challenge of UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture in his next fight.
Gonzaga, who retired from MMA 1 ½ jaar geleden, also defeated Ben Rothwell, Shawn Jordan en Chris Tuchscherer, among the more notable UFC fighters he faced in the Octagon.
(L-R) – Rocky Gonzalez & Gabriel Gonzaga
Gonzago has a new opponent for his four-round bout, Tampa’s pro-debuting Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, who also has a pro MMA background.
“I like challenges in my life,” Gonzaga explained why he’s making his pro debut. “I set new goals because I like to be competitive in sports. I have a good boxing coach who told me I should try. I was a BJJ (Braziliaans Jiu-Jitsu) world champion and UFC title contender. I have good boxing skills and plan to put on a good show. I do have one-punch power and hit hard.
“I started boxing in 2001 and worked at it every day for two years to learn, but then I was competing in MMA. Nu, I’m focused on boxing. I think boxing is the hardest part of MMA. I know you can’t make mistakes in boxing and there’s no time to relax. In MMA, I could relax a little at times in clinches, but the referee won’t allow that in boxing. I’ll probably fight more than once but not too many because of my age and I’m not really at the high-level of boxing like I was in MMA.”
Gonzaga’s head boxing trainer, Rocky Gonzalez, has been working with several MMA fighters, including Gonzaga, for more than a decade to help them improve their striking skills. Gonzalez freely admits that Gonzaga knew how to box before he started working with him, crediting Gonzaga’s Muay Thai coach, and that boxing came naturally to the big Brazilian who has made an easy adjustment from the Octagon to the ring. Gonzalez also feels that leg positioning differences for MMA fighters switching to boxing, in terms of throwing proper punches, is somewhat overrated.
“in het boksen,” Gonzalez zei, “fighters need their hands like their legs and elbows in MMA. Distance and timing is more important than where their legs and feet are positioned. Gabriel doesn’t like sparring with headgear, dus, his sparring is more like real fighting. He’s been hot with some real shots but he’s responded well. He’s always going to have a puncher’s chance and he’s deceptive because he doesn’t look as fast as he is.
“We didn’t really plan anything but he got this good opportunity. He’s always wanted to turn pro as a boxer and go from there. Gabriel is a good listener who keeps working hard to get better. When he first brought up boxing, he was contracted by the UFC, but we started talking about him boxing after the UFC released him. He knew Jose from him teaching boxing. Gabriel isn’t doing this for the money. He’s a competitive guy who wanted to try boxing.”
Former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion, Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita (16-1-1, 15 KO), fighting out of Pembroke (MA), will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion Saul “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 KO) in de acht-ronde belangrijkste gebeurtenis.
Hartford’s (CT) popular Richard “Popeye de matroos” Rivera (3-0, 2 KO) voldoet aan Hansen Castillo (0-2) in the four-round, co-featured event to be contested at a 180-pound catchweight.
Many of New England’s best and most popular N.E. fighters will be in action, inclusief 2014 GEEN VAN BEIDE. Golden Gloves kampioen Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (4-0, 3 KO), uitvechten van de nabijgelegen Lawrence (MA), vs. veteran Norwalk (CT) weltergewicht Shakha Moore (12-23-3, 2 KO) in een zes-round wedstrijd.
Also fighting on the undercard in four-round fights include 2016 GEEN VAN BEIDE. Golden Gloves champio, Anthony Laureano (5-0, 3 KO), of East Hartford (CT) vs. Bruno Dias (0-3), van Woburn (MA), New Haven (CT) Edwin Soto (10-2-2, 4 KO) vs. Anthony Everett (1-6). van Lawrence, op 150 pond catchweight, three-time USA Boxing Nationals champion Elvis Figueroa (2-0, 1 KO), van New Haven (CT), vs. pro-debuting Brazilian native Rene Nazare, Southbridge (MA) junior weltergewicht Wilfredo “de Sucaro” Heidens (2-0) vs. Patrick Leal (0-3), van Woburn (MA), op 150 pond catchweight, Danbury (CT) junior weltergewicht Omar Bordoy, Jr. (2-0) vs. Schenectady (NY) veteraanBryan “The Brick” Abraham (6-30, 6 KO), en Timmy Ramos (4-0-1, 4 KO), Framingham (MA) vs. Seth Basler (0-2), of Illinois.

Hier is wat de vechters hadden tot woensdag zeggen:
MURAT GASSIEV
“I’ve been working very hard in Big Bear, California with Abel Sanchez for about 10 weeks preparing for this fight. We are like a family up there. I have my Russian brothers, plus Gennady Golovkin, who is definitely like an older brother to me.
“Abel has helped me so much. He hasn’t tried to change my style. He’s just gone in and made my style better. He means so much to me.
“My last fight was my first title shot and I felt great in the moment. My nerves were calm and I feel like this is what I was made for. I want to be in this position for a very long time.
“I’m very thankful to be a part of this tournament. I’m very happy to be a part of this. This is an opportunity to be a unified world champion and prove that I’m the best in the division.
“My opponent has a lot of experience and has been in a lot of tough fights. He’s been in more fights than me, so I just need to be ready. Ik ben bereid voor 12 rounds or a short fight. This is what I train for.
“I will show everyone what I am all about op zaterdag nacht. Ik ben geen grote prater, but I will speak loudly with my fists op zaterdag.”
KRZYSZTOF WLODARCZYK
“Training camp went very well and I am physically ready for this challenge. You will see how strong I am mentally when I get in the ring op zaterdag.
“I have to be ready for anything. I know that he worked hard to get in there and hurt me so I’ll have to be ready to fight back against anything he does.
“Everyone knows that my experience will help me. I’ve had a lot more pro bouts than Gassiev. But I also will need to display smart boxing. I think I am the more intelligent fighter and will show it op zaterdag.
“My first goal is to win and become IBF world champion. That would put me in a special place in the history of Polish boxing as a three-time world champion. Winning this tournament would be very prestigious and lucrative for me.
“It’s always great to have the support of the great Polish fans. They really support all of their guys from Poland. But I have lots of experience fighting on the road with no Polish fans so it will just be a nice bonus.
“It’s going to be a clash of styles, I don’t know exactly what it will look like, but I can guarantee that it’s going to be exciting.”
MATEUSZ MASTERNAK
“Ik had een goede kamp. My sparring was strong and I was very happy with the training in Poland. I finished my camp in London for some new sparring and everything is all set for Zaterdag.
“I have a very good opponent. He’s going to use his boxing skills. We sparred with each other a few years ago and it was good, hard sparring for eight rounds. It could help me op zaterdag but sparring is different from a real fight.
“It’s very important for me to fight in the U.S. and to perform well. I haven’t fought in the U.S. in seven years so I’m excited to be back. I’m motivated to do well and keep getting big fights.
“I’m fully concentrated on this opponent. I have to get in there and take care of my strategy. I don’t know exactly how the fight is going to go, but I will be ready and have a plan for everything.”
STIVENS BUJAJ
“I feel perfect physically. I’m ready to rumble op zaterdag nacht. We’ve done all the conditioning, sparring and dieting to be in the right position on fight night. I did what I had to do.
“I’ve been training here in New York, mostly in the Bronx but also moving around and finding the best possible sparring to prepare for Zaterdag.
“He’s a tough opponent and I can’t underestimate him. I’ve trained to win. I’m going to come out on top one way or another.
“I’ve sparred with Masternak before, so I know what I’m dealing with. I’m going to go in there and pick him apart. He’s an aggressive fighter who will come forward and throw power punches, but I’m ready for that.
“I’m so happy with where my body is at heading into this fight. This is the best I’ve felt in a long time. The shoulder injuries are behind me and I’m healthy now.
“I can’t really say what the fight will look like but I hope everybody comes out Zaterdag to see the show. I feel comfortable fighting in the New York/New Jersey area and I can’t wait to go get this win.”
MACIEJ SULECKI
“Everything was perfect in training camp and I feel very strong. I worked well with my coach and we were on the same page all of camp. I worked very hard and I’m ready to show-off on this big card.
“I know that Culcay was a great amateur champion and an interim champion in the pros, so he’s obviously a very good fighter. But I will win this fight because I’m better and stronger more determined to get the win.
“I saw Culcay fight Demetrius Andrade. Het was een goed gevecht, but I don’t think Andrade performed well. Culcay lost but he made it very competitive so I know that he will be a challenge.
“I feel better at super welterweight than I did at middleweight. I always knew I could go down in weight and now was the time. So far I have felt much stronger at this weight.
“I am fully focused on fighting Culcay. First I must beat Jack Culcay, but I want to fight all the best fighters in the division. Jermell Charlo, Erislandy Lara and Jarrett Hurd, I’m ready for all of them.
“It’s a lot of extra motivation to fight in front of the Polish fans. They are the best fans in the world and I’m ready to perform.”
JACK CULCAY
“I feel perfect physically. This was one of my best training camps ever. I trained for about five months in Germany. I had four or five very tough sparring partners to get me prepared for this.
“Sulecki is undefeated and that’s the most important thing I know about him. I trained my hardest for this and op zaterdag you will see the best versus the best.
“Ik heb de snelheid, I have gained strength and I will show the mix of Ecuadorian and German styles. I was an amateur champion and now I’m going to be a champion in the pros.
“I learned against Demetrius Andrade that I can fight with anybody. I can compete with anybody in this sport. I’m going to show my experience op zaterdag nachts.”

The battle between the 20-year-old Martinez of Mexico City, Mexico and the 31-year-old Bravo, of Santiago, Chili, will immediately precede the championship stage bout and finale of the one-night, eight-man bantamweight (135 pond) “COPA COMBATE” tournament that will award its winner a grand prize of $100,000 and that, voor de eerste keer ooit, will see top-ranked fighters from the U.S., Latin America and Spain represent their respective countries in a quest for glory.

“This is a phenomenal addition to an already stellar and historic fight card created for the Telemundo broadcast television platform,”Zei Combate Americas CEO Campbell McLaren.

“With the incredibly relentless and hard-hitting action we have seen from the women of Combate Americas,"Vervolgde McLaren, “it is only fitting that we showcase a matchup between two of the sport’s brightest and fastest rising female stars like Melissa Martinez and Gloria Bravo on the ‘COPA COMBATE’ platform.”

“COPA COMBATE” takes place on the 24th anniversary of McLaren’s now legendary UFC 1 event that he executive produced as the co-founder of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The storied event set off a combat sports revolution, and changed the martial arts fight world forever.

The 5-foot-2 Martinez will return to La Jaula, de Combate Amerika kooi, for the second time in her career after shelling out a stunning, highlight reel knockout van Yajaira “Shokolate” Romo in de tweede ronde (2:45) of battle at Combate 15 in Mexico City on Juni 30.

Following the promotional debut victory, Martinez, also a decorated Muay Thai competitor, earned a second-place finish at WAKO Kickboxing’s “The World Games 2017 – Wroclaw” tournament in Poland on Juli 30.

The 5-foot-5 Bravo will enter La Jaula for the first time ever and put a three-fight winning streak on the line. All three of her latest victories came by way of armlock submission.

Bravo recently ventured from Chile to Las Vegas, Nev. to train for the upcoming matchup with famed, retired, former UFC world champion Miesha Tate.
