CHRIS HONEYCUTT GEVECHTEN ONAFVALLENDE JIU-JITSU ACE RAFAEL LOVATO JR. MIDDENGEWICHT CO-MAIN EVENT

Bovendien, het co-main event van Bellator 189: Budd vs.. Blencowe 2 zal beschikken over een middengewicht wedstrijd pitting stijgende mededinger Chris Honeycutt (10-1) tegen de ongeslagen Rafael Lovato Jr. (6-0). Extra hoofdkaart en voorlopige wedstrijden worden de komende weken aangekondigd.

EEN STRIKEFORCE-veteraan, Budd gaat de Bellator-kooi binnen December. 1 als de eerste en enige vedergewichtkampioen voor vrouwen in de promotiegeschiedenis. Momenteel midden in een acht-gevecht, zesjarige winning streak, de inwoner van British Columbia heeft in de loop van haar carrière overwinningen behaald Marloes Coenen, Germaine de Randamie, evenals Gina Carano in kickboksen.

De vechtende trots van New South Wales, Australië, Arlene Blencowe komt in haar gevecht met Budd die een winning streak van drie gevechten berijdt, meest recentelijk een gesplitste beslissing tegen Sinead Kavanagh in augustus. Een voormalig wereldkampioen bokser onder de World Boxing Federation en Women’s International Boxing Association, "Angerfist" versloeg Budd bijna tijdens hun vorige bijeenkomst om Bellator 162. Een trotse moeder van twee, de 34-jarige heeft nu de kans om meer goud aan haar mantel toe te voegen, dit keer in de vorm van een Bellator MMA-kampioenschap.

 

Sinds de sprong van weltergewicht naar middengewicht, de Fresno, De in Californië gevestigde Chris Honeycutt voelt zich alsof hij thuis is in zijn nieuwe divisie. Op een golf van vaart, die voor het laatst uitmondde in een vicieuze stop tegen Kevin Casey, “The Cutt” moet nu door BJJ-aas Rafael Lovato Jr. De ongeslagen Lovato Jr. heeft zijn eigen succes ervaren sinds hij bij Bellator tekende, inclusief een overwinning op onderwerping Mike "Biggie" Rhodes. Deze twee middleweights zullen elkaar ontmoeten in het co-main event van Bellator 189: Budd vs.. Blencowe 2 in een spannende strijd tussen een tweevoudig NCAA Division I Wrestling All-American aan de Edinboro University die het opneemt tegen een World Jiu-Jitsu en World No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu-kampioen.

Top 154-Pound World Champions & Contenders Hit New York Next Week Ahead of Saturday, Oktober 14 SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® Tripleheader from Barclays Center in Brooklyn

Fighters Share Their Thoughts & Experiences Fighting in New York Ahead of Premier Boxing Champions Event
BROOKLYN (Oktober 6, 2017) – Six of the top 154-pound world champions and contenders will look to put on a show for the fans in New York as they prepare to enter the ring for a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader Zaterdag, Oktober 14 van Barclays Center, het huis van BROOKLYN BOKSEN®.
The Premier Boxing Champions event is headlined by Erislandy “The American Dream” Laradefending against undefeated Terrell Gausha. Coverage on SHOWTIME begins at 10 p.m. EN/7 p.m. PT and features hard-hitting unbeaten champion Jermell “IJzeren Man” Charlo taking on top contender Erickson “Hamer” Lubin en “Gierzwaluw” Jarrett Hurd making his first title defense against tough former world champion Austin “Geen Twijfel” Forel.
De ongeslagen 2012 U.S. Olympian Gausha is the only fighter on the card who will be making his Barclays Center debut. Echter, the Cleveland-native has fought once in New York before and looks forward to a return, this time on its’ biggest stage.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be able to fight at Barclays Center and add my name to the list of great fighters who have competed there,” zei Gausha. “There’s something special about fighting in New York. The energy from the fans is really unique. I think I’m the perfect guy to come in and handle that pressure and have it elevate my game.”
Gausha faces WBA Champion Erislandy Lara, who won a decision against Austin Trout in their 2013 title showdown at Barclays Center. Deze keer, Lara looks forward to taking advantage of his elevated role as the main event of this show.
“My memories of fighting at Barclays Center were incredible,” Said Lara. “I put on one of my best performances against a great champion in Austin Trout and I’m looking to be even better onOktober 14. To be headlining in New York is incredibly special and important to me. There’s no better time to be at my very best than in front of these fans.”
Both WBC Champion Jermell Charlo and WBC No. 1 contender Erickson Lubin delivered sensational knockouts to make their Barclays Center debuts in 2017. Charlo made his first world title defense in April by stopping Charles Hatley and wants nothing else but to take care of business when he returns to the squared circle at Barclays Center.
“I’m honored to be fighting in Brooklyn,” Said Charlo. “This is another exciting fight card like the last time I was here. I did what I had to do in April. I let my opponent run his mouth and then I took care of him. I’m going to let that happen again. I can’t wait for another opportunity to grow my fan base here in New York.”
Lubin has the strongest connection to the city of the six fighters, as he has made his training camp in nearby Hackensack, N.J., and is frequently able to visit his mother, who is living in Queens. He delivered a one-punch knockout of Jorge Cota at Barclays Center in March on CBS to earn this title opportunity on Oktober 14.
“My last fight was my first ever in New York as a pro or amateur, and it was a memorable one,” zei Lubin. “I left the crowd satisfied and entertained them with my squat and hit him with an overhand to knock him out. New York is like my second home and I love it here.
“I love visiting my mom in Queens and eating all the Haitian food she cooks, but I have to wait until after the fight to enjoy it. I’ve really embraced training up here though. We didn’t want to break camp at all. So we came up here for the press conference and were able to get in a workout that day. I’ll be a thousand percent ready once fight week rolls around.”
For IBF Champion Jarrett Hurd and former champion Austin Trout, New York has been a place for career-defining moments. For Hurd, zijn Maart 2016 stoppage of Mexican Olympian Carlos Molina at Barclays Center buoyed him towards his world title shot and eventually championship triumph.
“When I beat an Olympian like Carlos Molina, that was definitely when I first thought that I was a fighter who could win a world title and it proved I could compete against anybody,” Said Hurd. “I think I picked up some fans in New York between that and beating the ‘Brooklyn Rocky’ Frank Galarza. New York always shows me love, so I feel it’s my duty to give them something to cheer about.
“I’m excited to be in New York because it’s very close to my home in Maryland too. I’m organizing buses for my fans to come up and watch me so I’m expecting another great atmosphere on fight night.”
Already a world champion, Trout had the opportunity to face future Hall of Famer Miguel Cotto in 2012 in New York, and he was able to rise to the occasion that the stage demanded. He dominated Cotto over 12 rounds in his first start in New York and although he faltered in his return to New York against Lara, he remains fond of fighting in The Big Apple.
“New York is always a great place to be,” zei Trout. “I had the biggest moment of my career in New York, but I want to make up for my last fight at Barclays Center, so fans can definitely expect fireworks on Oktober 14. Ik kom om te vechten.
“My mother was born and raised in New York so I always look forward to the opportunity to compete here. My favorite thing to do is go to a Chinese restaurant on Avenue X after the fight with my family and I’m hoping to do that as a two-time world champion after this fight.”

Tickets to the event are on sale now and start at $50 (niet met inbegrip van toepasselijke vergoedingen).

Laat een reactie achter

BURNS: I’VE GOT MORE CHAPTERS TO WRITE IN MY CAREER

The ‘Rickster’ relishing battle of Britain in Manchester
Former World champions clash as Anthony Crolla takes on Ricky Burns.DEZE ZATERDAG, Oktober, 7th
Live op AWE – Een schat aan Entertainment
SAN DIEGO (Oktober 5, 2017) -Ricky Burns believes he can become a World champion once again and wants to prove there’s plenty of chapters to write in his story as he meets Anthony Crolla at the Manchester Arena op zaterdag.

DEZE ZATERDAG AFTERNOON, 7 oktober, a pair of former world champions will collide as former lightweight world champion Anthony Crolla battles former three-division champion Ricky Burns in a scheduled 12-round lightweight clash at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, Engeland, and will be broadcast LIVE- & EXCLUSIVELY IN THE UNITED STATES op AWE- Een schat aan Entertainment. The broadcast will begin at 2 PM ET / 11 am PT
The fight will also be available on www.klowdtv.com on the AWE Channel.
Three-weight World champion Burns and former Lightweight World ruler Crolla both come into the must-win bout on the back of defeats in unification battles, and the British stars have conceded that defeat would make the road back to the elite-level that they have become accustomed to operating at a long one.
Burns created history as Scotland’s first ever three-weight king and the Coatbridge star is confident that a win in Manchester would put him back at the top table and in the running for a 14th World title fight in 2018 to continue his remarkable journey in boxing.
“I look at every fight as a must-win fight,” said Burns. “The incentive that has been put in front of us with the possibility of challenging for the World title again, I need to make sure that I go out and win this which I am confident of doing.”
“This is my first time fighting in Manchester so I am sure it’s going to be a great night for the fans. I’ve got so much respect for Anthony, he’s a brilliant fighter and this is going to be a cracking fight.”
“We’re both in the same boat now, coming back after a loss and looking to get our names back amongst the big boys. There were a few names mentioned for my next fight but this was the only fight that I wanted once I knew it could be made.”
“I know that there’s a good crowd coming down from Glasgow but any boxing fan is going to win with this fight, you know what you are going to get when we fight, we’ll lay it all on the line and the best man will win.”
“People are saying to me now ‘if you lose this what are you going to do?’ That thought hasn’t crossed my mind. I know this is a hard fight but the carrot of a possible World title fight means that the rewards are massive, but I didn’t need any more incentive for this fight, that just topped it off for me.”
“Over the last year everyone has asked when I am going to retire over the last year. I’ve had 48 fights but I’ve never come out of the ring with my face in a state, I still enjoying training and the sparring and fighting side of it are the best parts in my eyes.”
“If there ever came a point that I was coming out hurt fight after fight, or in the gym sparring these young hungry kids and taking too many punches, I’d know myself that it’d be time to call it a day, but I know that I’ve got lots of big nights left in me and I am confident that Zaterdag is going to be one of them.”
“I’ve never thought about what I’ve done in my career because it’s nowhere near finished yet. I’m not retiring until boxing is out of my system. The last thing I want to do is pack it in too early and then a year down the line want to come back. I won’t be done until I hate training and I am fed up with dieting.”
“I may have over-achieved in some people’s eyes, but I’ve worked my arse off to get to where I have. People see you turn up and fight but only those closest to you see what I do two or three times a day, seven days a week for 12 weeks before a fight, I knock my pan in.”
“Look who Anthony has boxed over the last two years, he’s only boxed the best. He’s lost to Linares but he went 24 rounds and he wasn’t knocked out or badly hurt at all. You are losing to guys at the elite level, these are incredible fighters and this is my job, if you have a rough day at the office you come back again the next day and make sure you are better.”
“I’ve always admitted that I’m not the best boxer ever, but if you are going to beat me, you’re going to have to be really good or you will have to work for it because the way I train I am confident I will be there at a great pace for the full 12 rounds and my mental toughness is one of my best attributes.”
Burns and Crolla clash on a huge night of action in Manchester as Sam Eggington defends his European Welterweight title for the first time against mandatory challenger Mohamed Mimoune and Robbie Barrett also makes a maiden defence against a mandatory predator as he puts his British Lightweight strap on the line against undefeated Lewis Ritson.
Some of Britain’s brightest stars from both sides of the border are in action with Crolla’s trainer Joe Gallagher having a busy night with Scotty Cardle, Hosea Burton, Marcus Morrison and Sam Hyde all gloving up, while Burns is joined by fellow countrymen Charlie Flynn and Joe Ham.
Former World Bantamweight title challenger Gavin McDonnell looks to get back in line for a second crack at the big one, rising Welterweight star Conor Benn fights for the ninth time in the paid ranks and local talents Jake Haigh and Ryan Doyle also feature.
