ADAM LOPEZ VS. DANNY ROMAN – 10 Kola, Super Bantamweights

Lopez, San Antonio, Teksas, by way Phoenix, Arizona, is a prototypical Shobox prospect-turned-contender. On je 3-0-1 on the series, having defeated three previous unbeaten boxers on the series: Mario Muniz (11-0) in a hard-fought 10-round decision on Feb. 19, 2016, outpointing Eliezer Acquino (17-0-1) across 10 rounds on July 17, 2015, and knocking out Pablo Cruz (11-0) in the second round on March 13, 2015. U svom nedavnom ShoBox izlet, Lopez boxed a 12-round draw with Roman Reynoso(18-1-1) jula 22, 2016.

“This will be my toughest fight. It is all about levels and progressing,’’ Lopez said of the matchup between the 26-year-old world-ranked contenders. “This may be my lastShoBox fight so I want to save the best for the last.

“Roman is very good fighter and I’m ready for a tough fight. He’s progressed a lot. He’s a good puncher, counter puncher and works the body. But I’m ready for whatever he brings. A win would be hugeit puts me in contention to fight a world champion.’’

An excellent boxer-puncher and tactician that likes to counter, Lopez was a standout amateur before going pro in February 2012. He is coming off an eighth-round knockout over Carlos Valcarcel on Nov. 11, 2016, and is facing likely his toughest test to date in Lopez.

 

Roman has won 13 in a row dating to March 2014 – and none of the fights have been close. Otišao 4-0 u 2014, 6-0 u 2015 i 4-0 u 2016. The Los Angeles native, who is coming of an eight-round decision over previously unbeaten Marlon Olea (12-0) posljednji Novembar. 18, će njegova ShoBox and East Coast debut in just his second outing outside of Southern California.

 

“I’ve been extremely active over the last few years and now all the hard work is starting to pay off,’’ said Roman, a pro since October 2009. “This is a tremendous opportunity and the type of fight I’ve been preparing for. Adam Lopez is a great fighter, and he’s highly ranked just like me. We are going to give the fans an exciting fight.

 

“I can box, I can brawl. I give the fans what they want. I think people are going to be impressed with how I fight. People want to see a fight and I know I’m going to bring it. Boxing fans are going to know who Danny Roman is on Jan. 20.''

 

RONALD ELLIS VS. CHRISTOPHER BROOKER, 8 Kola, Super Middleweights

Ellis, od Lynn, Masačusets, and Brooker, of Philadelphia, are making their second ShoBox počinje. Like Lopez, they fought Feb. 19, 2016, u Atlantic City. Ellis boxed an entertaining eight-round majority draw in a slugfest with hard-hitting Jerry Odom; Brooker took an eight-round majority decision over previously unbeaten John Magda(11-0) in a match that was originally announced a split draw but was later changed to a majority decision win for Brooker.
This will be Ellis’ second fight since the Odom fight. The 27-year-old Ellis, the older brother of welterweight prospect Rashidi Ellis, outpointed Oscar Riojas across eight rounds on Dec. 10.

 

Ellis feels he’s benefited from going the distance in consecutive contests. “It’s helped me that I’ve gone through it before,’’ said Ellis, whose 10 knockouts have come inside two rounds (eight in the first). "Sada, I know what they’re looking for. This time I’ll finish super strong and put on a show. I need this to further my career and put me in main event fights.

 

“I’ve seen Brooker fight a few times. He’s a tough guy who comes forward and comes to fight, and that is perfect for me. Brooker will be there for me to hit, and it will give me a great opportunity to showcase my talents.’’

 

Kao amater, Ellis upset Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 National Golden Gloves. Gausha went on to represent the United States at the 2012 Olympic Games and is now an undefeated professional middleweight.

 

Brooker, a physically strong, aggressive-minded boxer-puncher, is trying to regain his winning ways after a nine-fight winning streak ended when he lost by 10th-round TKO to highly regarded Ronald Gavril (16-1) posljednji Oktobar. 8 u Las Vegasu. The 25-year-old Brooker dropped Gavril in the fifth round but went down twice in the 10th before it was stopped at 2:04. Entering the 10th i završni krug, the fight was even on the judges’ scorecards.

 

“I’m ready and excited to get back in the ring,’’ said Brooker. “I can’t wait to fight another undefeated fighter on ShoBox. I’m still looking to get to the next level. I was at Ellis’ last fight, and I saw an average fighter compared to the guys I’ve fought. He’s solid, throws nice, short punches but runs out of gas.

 

“In my last fight I lost because I kept looking for the KO. I have a new trainer now (Gaunch Muhammad), and I’m getting back to the technical part of boxing. I’m jabbing more, and in my previous camps I wasn’t jabbing or boxing enough. I have the heart and condition but I have to get to my opponent with the jab.’’

The Philadelphia native was a top level amateur who has been active since turning professional in 2015.

 

KENNETH SIMS JR. VS. WELLINGTON ROMERO – 8 Kola, Super Lightweights

Sims, of Chicago, is matched with unquestionably the most dangerous opponent of a career that began in March 2014. This will be the eight-round debut for the 23-year-old, who has gone six full rounds six times.

 

“This is the biggest fight of my career,’’ said Sims, who is coming off a six-round decision over Jonathan Dinong posljednji Novembar. 11. “I will be prepared for anything that I have to do. I’ve seen videos of Romero and I know he is a good fighter. I fought world champions in the amateurs so it’s not a big deal to fight him. I need to take care of business and get my win on national television. It’s as simple as that.”

 

Sims was a main sparring partner for Floyd Mayweather (when he was getting prepared for Andre Berto) i Manny Pacquiao (as he was getting ready for Mayweather). Sims, known for his boxing skills and ability to work the body, Bio je 2013 U.S. National Amateur Champion and a 2012 Olympic Trials semifinalist.

 

Romero had 268 amateur bouts and represented his native Dominican Republic in the 2012 Olimpijske igre, where he lost to eventual Gold Medalist Vasyl Lomachenko. Shortly thereafter he relocated to New York, where he turned pro in 2013. The 25-year-old is coming off a first-round knockout over Engleberto Valenzuela Dec. 10.

 

A slick boxer who can punch and gives opponent issues because of his awkward style and movement, Romero has been brought along carefully against mostly modest opposition. The southpaw is coming off a first-round TKO over Luis Meroles last Dec. 5.

 

Romero understands that this could likely be his most daunting task to date. “I’m looking forward to introducing myself to the American public,'', Rekao je. “Sims is a good fighter but I will always like challenges, and this will be my biggest challenge as a pro.’’

 

STEPHON YOUNG VS. DANIEL ROSAS – 8 Kola, Super Bantamweights

 

Mlad, of St. Louis, is making his second ShoBox start. In his debut, he boxed a 10-round draw with previously undefeated Nikolai Potapov (14-0) in April of 2016.

 

“To be able to be back on ShoBox feels good,” said Young, who registered a majority 10-round decision over previously once-beaten Juan Lopez Jr. in his last scrap on Sept. 30, 2016. “My first fight on ShoBox was not a fair decision. It was my first 10-rounder and I feel like I won the fight. This time I will be able to show more of what I have.

 

“Training has been great. I already have been in camp for two months. The fight against Potapov was my first with my new coach (Herman Caicedo), and this will be our third fight. We won the NABA title by beating Lopez and now we’re back.”

The 25-year-old Young, who is currently ranked No. 9 u WBA, was an experienced amateur who compiled a record of 86-13 while representing the U.S. in a number of tournaments. In the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2011, he lost to the No. 1-rated amateur, Rau'shee Warren.

 

The 27-year-old Rosas, of Mexico City, is a nine-year veteran who is experienced against top opposition. U 2011, in just his 13th professional fight, Rosas fought to a 12-round split draw against Jose Cabrera in a bout for the Interim WBO Super Flyweight World Title. U 2014, he lost a close, unanimous decision to Alejandro Hernandezfor the Interim WBO Bantamweight Title.

PROMOTER DON KING HOPES WBC WILL DECLARE BERMANE STIVERNE WBC INTERIM HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP

 

LAS VEGAS (Decembar. 17, 2016) – In the aftermath of Saturday’s news that the WBC Interim heavyweight title fight in Russia between former heavyweight champion Gold Cup and top-ranked Alexander Povetkin had been cancelled because Povetkin tested positive for drugs again, Hall of Fame promoter Don “Only In America” King offered a simple solution:

 

Declare his fighter, Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 KOs), Las Vegas, the interim champion.

 

“I’ve had a long-standing respect with the WBC, beginning with Jose Sulaiman and now with his son, Mauricio, who has done an incredible job filling his father’s shoes as WBC president and just got re-elected for four more years. I stand with them and with the WBC for trying to do things the right way and with their organization’s safety procedures in regard to the boxers and the sport.

 

“It’s sad but this guy, Povetkin, has become a total embarrassment. He’s now tested positive in two WBC heavyweight title fights in a row. I’m all for winning and losing fights in the ring, but it’s time for justice to prevail. I don’t know what’s going on over there with so many Russian athletes in so many sports testing positive for drugs, but it has to stop. They cannot be allowed to continue to do things the way they are.

 

“The WBC should declare Stiverne world champion, make him the mandatory for (WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay) Wilder, and let’s move on with it. There are a lot of great heavyweight fights that can be made with willing boxers who don’t break the rules every fight.

 

“I’m very disappointed for Bermane, who’s now gone through two training camps with nothing to show for it. Why put up all that money for travel and expenses and then have no fight. He was ready to beat Povetkin and regain a part of the WBC title.

 

“And then – worse yetfor them to try and put it on Bermane for not fighting is just ludicrous. They’re taking the victim and trying to set him up as the criminal in this.’’

 

Stiverne pulled out after the WBC withdrew its sanction because Poverkin tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine. WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman revealed the positive test by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) on Saturday morning. Onda, the WBC withdrew its recognition of the fight.

“There’s no reason to fight if the WBC won’t sanction the bout,” said Stiverne, who could have gone through with the bout but without the sanction opted not to. “I’m very disappointed in the actions of Povetkin. I’ve been training for months to be victorious.

“To wake up the day of the fight, have breakfast, take a nap and then find out he tested positive is the worst possible situation.”

This is the second time in seven months Povetkin (30-1-0, 22 KOs) has tested positive for a banned substance. He tested positive for Meldonium ahead of a scheduled May bout with Wilder, cancelling that fight.

If it had transpired, the winner of the fight for the WBC interim heavyweight title would have become the mandatory challenger to Wilder. Stiverne lost the WBC title to Wilder on a 12-round decision on Jan. 15, 2015. He’s the only fighter to go the distance with Wilder.

DUBLIN, IRELAND. (Decembar. 16, 2016) – In the evening’s main event, it was wrestler versus judo practitioner as Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal (20-5, 1 NC) returned to moneyweight to face Olympic Gold Medalist Satoshi Ishii (14-7-1). King Mo avoided Ishii’s crafty throws as he scored a couple takedowns of his own throughout the fight. The contest finished with a shutout unanimous decision victory (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) za “King Mo.

Sada, after yet another impressive performance during the main event of “Bellator 169,” Lawal looks to end 2016 in style by repeating his domination over Rizin Fighting Federation opponents, when the 2015 eight-man Rizin heavyweight tournament winner returns to grand prix action during the Japanese-based promotion’s New Year’s Eve weekend of events.

Fresh off his victory in Dublin tonight, Lawal now sets his sights on the fellow contestants competing in the quarterfinals of the open-weight grand prix on Decembar. 29 at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan – the semifinals and finals are set for Decembar. 31.

The 35-year-old former Strikeforce Champion defeated Brett McDermott, Teodoras Aukstuolis and Jiri Prochazka en route to winning the heavyweight tournament last year, now the “King” looks to retain his crown against the likes of: Shane Carwin, Amir Aliakbari, Mirko Filipovic, Kaido Hoovelson, Tsuyoshi Kosaka, Valentin Moldavsky, and Szymon Bajor.

With a second tournament victory in Japan, “King Mo” would cap off a stellar 2016 kampanja, a 365-day run where in addition to Ishii, the American Top Team standout took current Bellator MMA Light Heavyweight Champion Phil Davis to the limit during their “Bellator 154” tussle back in May

Gallagher Sinks in RNC During Third Frame of Co-Main Event

 

In what many considered “the people’s main event,” the highly touted SBG prospect James Gallagher (5-0) kept his composure through the first two hard fought rounds against Anthony Taylor (1-2). The American threw several powerful strikes, connecting on multiple occasions as Gallagher fought from safe range. Not long after the start of the final round the “Strabanimal” took the back of “Pretty Boy” Taylor with a body triangle actively looking to find a choke. It looked as though Taylor had it under control, walking across the cage toward his corner, pandering to the camera with a smile but seconds later, he was on his stomach, where he succumbed to a rear naked choke at 1:52 okruglih tri. U vrijeme zastoja, the judges were split with the cards reading 20-18, 18-20 i 19-19 after the first two rounds.

Kavanagh Gets the Irish Crowd Started with UD Victory

Sinead Kavanagh (4-0) was determined to put one on the board for the home team and that’s exactly what she did when she defeated Elina Kallionidou (5-1) jednoglasnom odlukom (30-25, 30-26, 30-27). Kavanagh stalked the Greek regional champion around the cage and scored on a great deal of combinations up against the fence. Kallionidou showed impressive resiliance, toughing out firestorm after firestorm of punches and bouncing back as though unfazed.

“Drake” Weichel Wants Another Shot at the Title

In the first televised fight of the evening, the crowd was loud, hoping to propel their Irishman Brian “Pikeman” Moore (9-5) to victory against Daniel Weichel (38-9). Moore looked sharp on his feet, throwing crisp jabs before getting taken to the canvas. From the ground, Moore fought off several rear-naked choke attempts before rolling into a triangle choke 4:44 into the first frame, making it 0-2 for the Irish-born fighters to start the card.

Who Else but Cameron Else to Spoil Hot Prospect Dylan Tukes Night

 

An electric Irish partisan crowd was on hand at the 3Arena in Dublin, but it didn’t take long for Great Britan’s Cameron Else (4-3) to silence them all with a jaw-dropping knockout victory over the highly-touted hometown fighter Dylan Tuke (3-1) samo 20 seconds into round one.

Warriors Boxing čestitao Muratu Gassievu na osvojenoj tituli i pobjedi u cijelom bokserskom svijetu

‘Objasnite mi zašto je Denis Lebedev i dalje svjetski prvak.’
Warriors Boxing i Ural Boxing žele čestitati borcu kojeg zajedno promoviraju, potpuno novi IBF svjetski prvak u najtežoj kategoriji Murat “Gvožđe” Gassiev, za njegovu osvojenu titulu u decembru 3 protiv Denisa Lebedeva u Ledenoj palači Khodynka u Moskvi, Rusija.
U zabavnoj borbi, Gassiev (24-0, 17 KOs) od Vladikavkaz, Rusija, ispustio je svog zemljaka Lebedeva u petoj rundi i izborio podijeljenu odluku na desetke 116-112 i 116-111 protiv rezultata 114-113 za sada bivšeg šampiona.
U gubitku, Lebedev je ostao WBA svjetski prvak, jer taj pojas nije bio na liniji u borbi… gde su Ratnici’ izazov svijetu boksa leži.
“Izazivam bilo koga u boksačkom svijetu da mi da logično objašnjenje zašto je Denisu Lebedevu dozvoljeno da zadrži WBA titulu nakon poraza,” rekao je Leon Margules, Predsjednik Warriors Boxing. “Ni jedan ni drugi borac nisu prešli ograničenje kruzera. Ovo je bio jedinstveni prvak koji je branio svoje naslove. Apsurdno je i stvara opasan presedan u boksu. Zašto bi bilo koji jedinstveni šampion ikad ponovo stavio sve svoje pojaseve na kocku ako bi mogao zadržati jednog ili dva?, čak i ako izgube?”
Par se trebao sastati i za WBA i za IBF pojaseve, ali nekako manje od nedelju dana pre borbe, WBA je bila uvjerena da je dopustila ovaj krajnje nepravilan potez, što je omogućilo Lebedevu da ostane WBA Super svjetski prvak u kruzeru, pobijediti ili izgubiti, iznad WBA “Redovno” Svjetski prvak Beibut Shumenov i WBA “Privremeni” Svjetski prvak Yunier Dorticos.
“Išli smo zajedno s ovom parodijom i svejedno se borili, ali samo zato što je Lebedevljev tim zaprijetio da će povući borbu ako to ne učinimo. Smiješna je situacija i želim da svijet boksa zna što se ovdje dogodilo.”
Margules kaže da Lebedev kamp sada koristi ruske medije kako bi tvrdio da Gassiev odbija revanš.
“Odmah da to ispravim. VOLELI bismo se ponovo boriti protiv Lebedeva. Ovaj put ćemo ga još lakše pobijediti. Ali samo ako zaista postavi WBA pojas, onu koju je moj momak već osvojio od njega u očima svih, osim tijela za sankcionisanje.”
Boks politika na stranu, Margules i njegov tim kažu da su zadovoljni načinom na koji je izgledao 23-godišnji Gassiev 12 kruži po prvi put u životu.
“Murat je ispunio obećanje koje je pokazao tokom svog uspona na vrh divizije,” reče Margules. “Bio je u prvom krugu od 12 kola i zadržao je mirnoću. Nije puhao energiju kad je momka spustio u petom. I nije paničario kad je prvak, koji je vrlo tvrd momak, imao nekoliko dobrih rundi usred borbe. Jako sam sretan što promoviram sjajnog borca ​​poput njega.”

“Podsjeća me na mladog Rockyja Marciana,” rekao je glavni izvršni direktor Warriors Boxinga Luis DeCubas. “On je poput tenka koji se kreće prema naprijed koji ne možete zaustaviti. Na kraju će doći do vas. On je zvijezda u ovom sportu. Siguran sam da bi se pobjednik Šumenov / Dorticos mnogo radije borio protiv pravog ujedinjenog prvaka Gassieva, umjesto gubitnika Lebedeva. Ovakve situacije zaista štete našem sportu.”
