Former WBA Interim Heavyweight Champion Luis Ortiz to WBC Champ Deontay Wilder: Stop Making Excuses!

להשאיר תגובה
“When I look at Deontay Wilder, I see an unsure, scared fighter. He’s crazy with his technique and worried about being hit. When you are that worried about getting hit, when you do get hit, you usually get knocked out.” לואיס אורטיז
A screenshot of the sent forms, dated September 9, 2016.

Responding to WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder’s recent public statements, former WBA Interim Heavyweight Champion Luis Ortiz would like to let him know: “I signed up for the WBC/VADA Clean Boxing Program last September. Stop using that excuse to avoid fighting me!”

The undefeated Ortiz (27-0, 23 קוס), of Camaguey, קובה, now living in Miami, has been trying to get Wilder into a boxing ring for quite a while, as Wilder has chosen to face a string of what many would label second-tier opponents to defend against.
“He’s scared!” said Ortiz of Wilder. “The more he can use my failed test against me he will. He and (promoter Lou) DiBella are saying he won’t fight me because of that. That was years ago, and since that unfortunate incident, for which I was punished, I have tested a dozen times clean. Now he’s trying to say I haven’t signed up for VADA Clean Boxing… guess what Wilder? I signed up last September when I was notified that all WBC contenders need to be part of their new Clean Boxing Program. I filled out the paperwork and my trainer submitted it to the WBC. He can stop using that excuse to avoid me. I have nothing to hide and do not have to prove any longer to anyone that I am clean. Wilder is nothing but a paper champion who happened to be at the right place at the right time against the right opponent with, הכי חשוב, the right promoter. That’s all he is.”
Ortiz’s trainer, Herman Caicedo of Caicedo Sports Training Center of Miami, פלורידה, also says Ortiz’s failed drug test in 2014 is no longer a factor.
“Since failing his test years ago, Luis has been tested over a dozen times, voluntarily and mandatorily in fights. He has made it very clear that he never wants that to happen again and I wouldn’t work with a fighter I even suspected wasn’t clean. There’s too much involved in how I train fighters. We all put a lot of blood sweat and tears into training for a failed drug test to derail the entire process. I do my own drug panels and steroid checks before I take fighters. And those that do not wish to willingly participate, I will not train.”
Ortiz says sooner or later, Wilder will run out of excuses to avoid him or be run out of boxing.
“My mentality was always to beat whoever was the best fighter in my division, תקופה. I don’t handpick my opponents. This is all weird and new to me. He can’t run for much longer though. I assume he will try to unify or vacate before he has to fight me. He can’t unify with the Joshua/Klitschko winner because I am the mandatory above any unification fight, and I will not be jumped over. אז, he can try to beat up (New Zealand-based contender Joseph) Parker after his next fight. Then retire the paper champion he is.”
“I am very confident about the outcome if Ortiz and Wilder ever do fight,” continued Caicedo. “Ortiz will knock him out within 10 סיבובים. Luis has a level to his approach that I haven’t seen in quite some time. He is a throwback, old-school heavyweight boxer. He has incredible poise, precision, and ring generalship. He’s accurate with this punches and defensively very sound. If they ever do fight, Wilder will be exposed. אבל, he will probably retire a legend in his own mind without ever fighting anybody.”
Ortiz says no matter what happens with Deontay Wilder, he is happy and comfortable with his life.
“אני רוצה להודות לצוות שלי: עוֹרְבָנִי, Javier and my trainer Herman for the support they give me throughout all this uncertainty, as well as my fans and, most important to me, my wife and three children. I never thought I would be fighting to make a living. Boxing was always what I did because I loved it. I fought for pride. I fought for bragging rights!! I have already achieved one dream and that was to be here in the United States with my family. I am a United States citizen and very proud. Now to be able to box for a living, make money and potentially become world champion… ש, לי, is priceless.”

TUNICA, גברת (פבואר 2, 2017) – אלוף עולם לשעבר לואיס קולאזו (37-7, 20 קוס) delivered an early “Knockout של השנה” candidate with a sixth-round knockout of welterweight contender סמי ואסקז Jr. (21-2, 15 קוס) יום חמישי הלילה באירוע המרכזי של אלופי אגרוף לראש הממשלה, ב FS1 and FOX Deportes from Horseshoe Tunica Hotel & Casino in Tunica, מיסיסיפי.
The Brooklyn-native Collazo started slow as Vasquez Jr. looked to control the fight with his movement and jab. The action began to pick-up in the third round as Collazo struck the first major blow of the fight, connecting on a right hand that sent Vasquez Jr. אל הבד.
וסקז ג'וניור. stunned Collazo early in the fourth round with an overhand left and pressed forward to initiate numerous exchanges along the ropes. Collazo was able to hold off his younger opponent and do damage with body shots and short punches in the exchanges.
After a more tactical round five, וסקז ג'וניור. once again pushed forward on Collazo in the hopes of getting his offense going. The veteran Collazo was prepared for the attack and connected on a vicious right hand that put Vasquez on the mat and out for good as referee Bill Clancy halted the bout at 1:27 לסיבוב.
בפעולה welterweight, fast-rising Cuban contender יודניס אוגאס (18-3, 8 קוס) earned a split-decision over לבאן Ghvamichava (17-3-1, 13 קוס) in their 10-round bout יום חמישילילה.
It was the third straight impressive victory for Ugas, who has put himself squarely in the conversation in the welterweight division. Ugas was in control of the early part of the fight, winning exchanges in the middle of the ring and breaking through the high and tight guard of Ghvamichava.
Ghvamichava was able to work his way back into the fight with an increased work rate in the middle rounds as he began to find openings in Ugas’ defense. Referee Bill Clancy deducted a point from Ugas in round eight after multiple warnings for low blows.
The action heated up in the final two rounds as both men exchanged heavy blows throughout. Ugas began to land his left hook successfully but Ghvamichava had his moments and continued throwing punches until the final bell. After 10-rounds of action the judges scores were 99-90, 97-94 for Ugas and 95-94 for Ghvamichava.
In a showdown of unbeaten super lightweight prospects, שיקגו אדי רמירז (16-0, 11 קוס) earned a stoppage victory after nine rounds of action against Houston’s ריאן קרל (13-0, 9 קוס). Karl’s corner stopped the fight before the 10ה והסיבוב אחרון.
Ramirez was the more effective fighter from the start, working off of his jab to hit Karl with a big right hand that staggered him in the second round. Karl was able to weather the storm and compete throughout the middle rounds of the fight as he threw constant power punches in an attempt to catch Ramirez.
The momentum swung to Ramirez for good starting in the seventh round, when another right hand connected with Karl and opened up a cut over Karl’s left eye. A late flurry by Ramirez in round nine as he staggered Karl near the ropes and forced him to hold Ramirez. Karl was able to finish the round, but did not answer the bell for round 10 as his corner put a halt to the fight.
הנה מה שהיו לי הלוחמים לומר יום חמישי:
לואיס קולאזו
“Going into the fight I knew he didn’t like the body shots. In the locker room my team was telling me that he’s going to be waiting for it. We wanted to touch him soft down low and then go up top. We opened him up. We both tried to line up the hook and mine landed first.
“I’m a slow-starter. I’m better from a distance and I have the experience. אני 35 but I still feel like I have a lot left in the ring.
“I’ve learned a lot about myself. I’m completely dedicated to this sport and ready to keep moving forward. Everyone said I was faded but now I have the opportunity to keep going.
“Sammy caught me with some good shots. He got me with a big overhand left. הוא לוחם חזק.
“There are a lot of great fights coming up in the welterweight division. I know Shawn Porter doesn’t have an opponent right now. I’m ready to get it on if he is.”
SAMMY VASQUEZ JR.
“I felt like I was starting to get in my groove. He just caught me with a really great shot at the right time.
“I knew his big punch was the right hook. I was working on keeping my hand up to block it. I dropped it at the wrong time and he got me.
“Obviously this is going to set me back. I need to come back stronger. I hope that I can come back and fight someone that can help me move up the ranks.”
YORDENIS UGAS
“I boxed from a distance like we prepared. I thought that I was in control and I thought I won easily.
“I was surprised it was a split-decision. I thought I won most of the rounds. He was a very tough opponent but I was ready for him and I did what I wanted to do.
“I was feeding off of my corner. I’m a top contender and I’m ready to face anybody.”
LEVAN GHVAMICHAVA
“I’m disappointed in the result. It’s hard to put into words. זה היה מאבק קרוב. I thought a lot of his shots were being blocked and I thought I countered well.
“The referee did his best to control he low blows. You don’t want a fight to end in disqualification. But taking those shots effects everything.”
EDDIE RAMIREZ
“אני שמח. We worked hard and this is another step. We’re going to keep working hard. I have what it takes to be a world champion.
“Ryan Karl is a tough fighter. He came to give it all he had. He didn’t want to quit, but we broke him down and got the win.
“Karl and I both came to win. Someone’s perfect record had to go. There was no quit in him. I was going to finish the fight in the last round.
“My plan was to break him down. I never wanted this fight to go to decision. I did what I had to do.
“I’m aiming high. אני רוצה להילחם הטוב ביותר. If I keep working hard everything is going to take care of itself and I’ll get where I want to.
“I wanted to make him miss a lot while also being aggressive. We were ready to finish him off, we just wanted to go little by little and get the win.”
RYAN KARL
“I just wasn’t on הלילה. I couldn’t hit my right hand how I wanted to. I give him all the credit. My timing wasn’t right. He looked great and I looked mediocre.
“It’s disappointing. Boxing is my job. I lost a lot in there. I have to get better. All that matters is winning the fight.”

Hosts Tom, Tony and Rich of The Fight News Unlimited Combat Sports show had the awesome experience of catching up with President Donald Trump for an exclusive interview contained in tonight’s broadcast. We ask “The Donald” about everything from Mayweather vs. McGregor to Iran and China.

We also discuss some MMA labor union issues, Aisling Daly retiring young from the UFC, Conor McGregor claiming his next bout will be in a boxing ring and Dana White saying Ronda Rousey is all done with fighting professionally. We also recap the first big UFC and Bellator events of the year from last week and look forward to UFC Fight Night 104 in Houston on Saturday night. We take time at the end of the broadcast to talk boxing with a recap of last week’s stunning rematch between Leo Santa Cruz and Carl Frampton. We also talk about the Thursday night bouts on FS1 tonight. Here is our full show:

And here is the Trump interview by itself:

לשחרורו מיידי
מחר night at Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, פורטו ריקו
(L-R) — פליקס ורדחו (135 קילו.) &
אוליבר פלורס (134 קילו.)

סן ג'ואן, פורטו ריקו (פבואר 2, 2017) – Live underdog Oliver “Trombita” פרחים has prepared to shock the boxing world מחר לילה (יום שישי, פבואר. 3), albeit it in hostile territory. challenging undefeated World Boxing Organization (WBO) Latino lightweight champion פליקס “El Diamente” Verdejo in the 10-round main event at Robrerto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, פורטו ריקו.

A rising star in a universarlly recognized boxing hotbed, Verdejo (22-0, 15 קוס) represented Puerto Rico in the 2012 אולימפיאדה, losing in the quarterfinals to two-time Olympic gold medalist אסיל ומצ'נקו, who is the reigning WBO super feathereight world champion. The 23-year-old will be fighting in front of a passionate hometown crowd in San Jose, risking his WBO No. 1 contender status and impending world title shot against current champion טרי פלנגן. He’s also scheduled to fight June 10th on Top Rank’s major Puerto Rican Day card at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden.
Havoc Boxing-promoted Flores (27-2-2, 17 קוס), עם זאת, is looking forward to spoiling Verdejo’s party and bringing joy back to his native Nicaragua.
“We accepted this challenge because we believe Oliver will rise to the occasion,” פרחים’ אמרגן Rob Diaz (Havoc Boxing) אמר. “He hadn’t fought for more than a year because several fights we lined up fell through. אז, we decided to move him up to lightweight to challenge a great prospect like Verdejo. This is a tremendous opportunity for Oliver. He’s not concerned about fighting Verdejo in Puerto Rico. Oliver has effectively fought on the road throughout his career because he’s a true warrior. He has a real chance to shock the boxing world מחר night and we’re confident that he will bring his best into the ring. Oliver is one of the best kept secrets in boxing but fans all over the world will know his name after מחר מַאֲבָק.”
In his last fight on New Year’s Eve of 2015, Flores unsuccessfully challenged then-World Boxing Association (WBA) Super world super featherweight champion טאקאשי אוצ'יאמה (23-0-1) בטוקיו, getting stopped in the third round.
פרחים’ only other pro loss was in 2012 to current WBC super featherweight world champion Miguel Berchelt, while his two draws were both on the road in Mexico and Costa Rica.
פרחים (pictured to right on the scale) is a past WBA Fedebol lightweight title holder, as well as former World Boxing Council (WBC) FECARBOX and International Boxing Federation (IBF) אלוף סופר במשקל נוצה. He has proven to be a dangerous, upset-minded opponent having defeated previously unbeaten boxers Marcos Mojica (12-0-2), by way of unanimous decision, ו Gabriel Dorado (9-0) via a first-round knockout.
A victory over Verdejo should position Flores for another world title shot in the not too distant future.

World amateur champion Mohammad Rabii
To make pro debut at home in main event
פבואר. 18 in Casablanca, מרוקו
CASABLANCA, מרוקו (פבואר 2, 2017) – Former Interim cruiserweight world champion יורי “אל טורו” Kalenga will provide chief support פבואר 18 for pro-debuting Moroccan amateur boxing sensation Mohammad Rabii ב “Battle of Casablanca” כרטיס, presented by Nowhere2Hyde, at Complexe de Sportif Mohammed V Arena in Casablanca, מרוקו.
Kalenga (22-3, 15 קוס), fighting out of France by way of The Congo, is currently rated No. 12 על ידי עולם אגרוף האיגוד (WBA) ולא. 16 על ידי מועצת אגרוף העולם (WBC). The knockout artist takes on Garrett “הלוחם האולטימטיבי” וילסון (17-11-1, 9 קוס), של פילדלפיה, who is a former United States Boxing Association (לַעֲרוֹך) and North American Boxing Federation (NABF) אלוף.
ב 2014, Kalenga captured the WBA Interim title with a 12-round split decision over 32-1 מטאוש מאסטרנק במונקו, followed with a successful title defense in Canada against 12-0 דנטון דיילי by way of a 12ה נוקאאוט טכני עגול.
Kalenga has never been in a dull fight. Two of his three career losses have been to current WBA Super cruiserweight champion דניס לבדב (26-2), who Kalenga dropped in the fourth round, by way of a 12-round unanimous decision in Russia, and last June he was stopped for the first time in his seven-year pro career by 20-0 יוניור Dorticos in Paris for the Interim WBA strap.
The 23-year-old Rabii defeated 2016 מדליסט זהב האולימפי דניאר ילוסינוב in the welterweight division championship finale of the 2015 AIBA World Amateur Championships to capture a gold for his native Morocco. Rabii won a bronze medal at the 2016 משחקים אולימפיים בברזיל, dropping a highly-disputed decision (0-3) in the semifinals to Uzebek boxer Shakhram Giyasov, the eventual silver medalist.
The ultra-charismatic Rabii has reached “rock star” status in Morocco, testament by an average of 6-million Moroccans viewing each of Rabbi’s Olympic matches on Arryadia Television. “We are very excited to work with our television partners, Arryadia, on our February 18ה show as the first of five shows in 2017 featuring Mohammed Rabii,” אמרגן גארי הייד אמר. “Rabii has the entire nation of Morocco behind him and he will be challenging for top welterweight honors in no time at all.”
Rabii will take on veteran Hungarian boxer אדם “ילד רע” Mate (24-10, 17 קוס) באירוע הראשי בן ששת הסיבובים.
Also in action on “Battle of Casablanca” will be former World Boxing Association (WBA) וארגון האגרוף הבינלאומי (IBO) world featherweight champion, Simpiwe Vetyeka (29-3, 17 קוס), who is world ranked No. 4 על ידי WBA, לא. 6 על ידי הטבעת מגזין, ולא. 7 על ידי WBC. The gifted South African faces undefeated Hungarian prospect David Nerna (8-0, 8 קוס) בהתקף 10-עגול.
Netherlands light middleweight Gevorg Khatchikian (24-2, 12 קוס) will also be in action against Ugandan Med “Kabona” Sebyala (16-8-1. 13 קוס) in another 10-rounder. Khatchikian, who will be fighting as a 154-pounder for the first time as a professional, has only lost twice as a pro, both to present super middleweight world champions, James Degale (IBF) ו ז'ילברטו רמירז (WBO).
