Los Angeles, TAKIE JAK (Marzec 19, 2021) -This Saturday night, one of the top prospects in boxing will be back in action at the Miami Airport Hilton in Miami, Florida as undefeated featherweight Jalen Walker takes on grizzled veteran Julian Aristule in a bout scheduled for six-rounds. Walker of Los Angeles is 7-0 with six knockouts and is looking to add his most experienced foe to his resume.
After a successful amateur career that saw him amass a record of 108-13, and was a three-time National PAL champion; Two-Time Silver Medal winner in the Junior Olympics; Time-Time Silver Medal winner in the Adidas Nationals among his endless accolades. Walker turned professional at the age of 17.
Walker won his first six bouts in Tijuana, Mexico before winning his American debut, which was a unanimous decision over Diuhl Olguin. “I am ready to put on a show. I have put in a lot of hard work for this fight. I have seen a little bit of Aristule. I do not look at too much of my opponents, I let my team do that, but what I have seen is that he is on his way out,” Said Walker.
Aristule of Argentina has had a successful career by amassing a record of 34-14 z 17 nokautów, and is a former WBO Latino Super Bantamweight champion. He defeated two undefeated fighters, and has wins over several more quality opponents.
The ambitious Walker kept in good shape during the Coronavirus lockdown, and was ready for action when he took on Olguin last December 20th.
“Nigdy nie przestał szkolenia. I stayed in shape, and continued to run and spar,” continued Walker.
Piechur, who started boxing at age seven as he followed in the footsteps of his father Norman and grandfather, who were both amateur boxers. Walker is one of the most followed boxers on social media as he boasts over137,000 followers on Instagramknows that platforms like that are very important in today’s world of sports and entertainment.
“I think the key to that is consistency. When I first started getting 1,000 views or so, I thought it was a big deal. Miałem o 6,000 followers before my pro debut, and it has continued to grow. When I start to fight on bigger cards, I can see that even skyrocketing. There are many world champions that don’t get nearly the views that I get. I am just waiting patiently, and when everything happens, things will click perfectly, It is going to be big.”
Walker has gained valuable experience sparring with several world champions such as Danny Roman, Anioł Acosta, Józef Diaz Jr. and Murodjon Akhmadaliev .
Jalen is on the cusp of signing with a major promoter, and he knows that he brings a lot to the table both in and out of the ring. “I bring what I can do as a fighter, but also with social media, that even helps promote their events when I am fighting. I am the total package Walker is managed by Waterfront Boxing, which is headed up by the duo of Rene Symonds and Clement Kwan.
The pair see a huge future for Walker.
“Our job as managers to a top talent like Jalen is to build a foundation for him to showcase his talents, flourish as a brand and to develop as a young man,” said Kwan.
Symonds added, “Jalen is an incredibly exciting fighter who eats, śpi i oddycha boks. We’re incredibly proud of how active he has been during the pandemic – with five outings last year. This bout against a 48-fight veteran is another step towards fulfilling his destiny”
McCaskill przygląda się pojedynkowi z Taylorem i Shieldsem
Chicago, IL (Marzec 17, 2021) – Świeżo po swoim drugim z rzędu zwycięstwie nad przyszłą Hall of Fame, Cecilia Braekhus, niekwestionowany mistrz wagi półśredniej, Jessica McCaskill chce walczyć z największymi nazwiskami kobiecego obwodu.
McCaskill z Chicago, łatwo wyprzedził legendarnego Braekhusa o dziesiątki 100-89, 99-90 i 98-91 aby wygrać piąty z rzędu i podnieść swój rekord do 10-2.
“Czułem, że moja agresja była naprawdę dobra, po prostu utrzymując ciśnienie bez przerwy, i jesteśmy gotowi na to, co dalej. Wbiegała, i tłoczyła się, i pomyślałem, czy będzie wbiegać, Musiałbym oddać przynajmniej jeden lub dwa strzały, i robiła to dalej, więc też to robiłem. Chciałem się poruszyć i pokazać więcej kątów, ale ona przychodziła prosto, więc była tam,” powiedział McCaskill.
“Kolejnym punktem programu może być walka z Katie Taylor. Jeśli tak jest, byłoby świetnie. Jeśli to nie zadziała, jest tam kilka innych nazw. Jeśli chodzi o Claressa Shields, McCaskill uważa, że może dojść do walki z nią, “To mogłaby być możliwość, gdyby Claressa mogła dojść do tego 147 funtów. Najpierw, powiedziała, że nie zrzuci żadnej wagi, a teraz mówi, że tak, więc będziemy musieli tylko sprawdzić, czy potraktują to poważnie.”
Powiedział promotor McCaskilla, Leon Margules z Warriors Boxing, “Jessica po raz kolejny udowodniła, że jest jedną z najlepszych zawodniczek na świecie. Teraz zdominowała wojownika, który przez długi czas był funtem dla czołowego boksera. Chcielibyśmy walczyć z każdym, a walka z Katie Taylor z pewnością miałaby inny wynik niż ich pierwsza walka. Walki z Taylorem lub Claressą byłyby historycznymi walkami, ponieważ zmierzyłyby się ze sobą dwoma panującymi niekwestionowanymi mistrzami.” Zdjęcia / Boks Matchroom
Jose Martinez and Israel Gonzalez Battle to Majority Draw in Co-Main Event, Alma Ibarra Earns Unanimous Decision Over Maricela Cornejo, and Joe Ward Avenges Lone Professional Loss Against Marco Delgado
San Juan, PUERTO RICO – March 18, 2021 -Angel Fierrorose from the canvas twice en route to a stunning comeback knockout win in the sixth round against former world championAlbertoMachadoas the latest chapter of the iconic Puerto Rico vs. Mexico ring rivalry was written in the Ring City USA main event, live on NBC Sports Network from Albergue Olimpico (Olympic Center) in Salinas, Portoryko.
Tijuana’s Fierro (18-1-1, 14 KO) handed Machado (22-3, 18 KO) of Rio Piedras his first professional loss in Puerto Rico, following a hot start from the former junior lightweight world champion. Machado, 30, scored a knockdown in each of the first two rounds with well-placed right-hand counter punches. Fierro displayed a durable chin and beat the count easily both times, signaling that he was not hurt by the crunching power punches. Fierro was down 48-45 on all three judges’ scorecards at the time of the stoppage.
“I’m happy, I faced a top-notch fighter tonight in Alberto Machado,” said Fierro, who was a three-to-one underdog. “He is world class and dropped me twice. But I am ecstatic that I was able to come back and beat a fighter of his caliber.”
The 22-year-old lightweight turned the fight around in the fourth round as he dedicated himself to a vicious body attack against Machado. The body work paid dividends as he found openings throughout the fifth and sixth round, ultimately leading to a vicious left hand that sent the former titlist to the canvas for the first and only time in the fight. Fierro credited finding his second wind to his two-year-old daughter back in Mexico.
“He dropped me twice in the beginning of the fight,” added Fierro. “When I got back to my corner, I told them, ‘remind me of my daughter.’ Because with this fight I can change her life and that’s exactly what they did after the third round. They motivated me and that’s exactly what I did.”
Prior to the fight, Fierro told the Ring City USA broadcast team, “the best judge is a knockout when you’re fighting in someone else’s hometown.” The Mexican warrior, who replaced undefeated prospect Hector Tanajara on one week’s notice, delivered on his promise to take matters into his own hands.
“We found a lot of gaps in Machado’s game in the sixth round,” stated Fierro. “I took advantage of them and I turned it around. I told you in the interview (przed walką), I didn’t come here to be a tourist in Puerto Rico. I came here to win.”
Immediately preceding the main event, IrlandiiJoe Ward (3-1, 2 KO) avenged his only professional loss with a dominating unanimous decision victory overMarco Delgado(7-2, 5 KO) in their six-round light heavyweight tilt.

Two of the ringside judges scored seven rounds for Ibarra (79-73) while the third saw it 77-75 for the winner. Ibarra, who hails from Monterrey, Meksyk, brought the fight to the Los Angeles native throughout the fight and was the far busier fighter.
“Now the world knows who Alma Ibarra is and what she is made of,” said the victor. “To everyone, I was a stranger. And to fight against someone who is very recognized worldwide in Maricela Cornejo and beat her, this opened many doors for us.”
Ibarra, 32, returned from a 16-month layoff following her first professional defeat against Raquel Miller in 2019. Ibarra, who had a successful amateur career, looked comfortable as she commanded the ring against the seasoned professional in 33-year-old Cornejo. Ibarra, a natural welterweight, was fighting at the heaviest weight of her career (156 kg.).
“I felt very good, bardzo silny, as this is a division that I am not used to,” said Ibarra. “I always fight in lower divisions, we had to go up two divisions to take this great opportunity, and well, I think we were not wrong to take this risk.”
In the co-main event of the evening, which kicked off the four-fight main card on NBC Sports Network, Jose “Chiquiro” Martinez(21-1-3, 14 KO) of Mayaguez, P.R. iIsrael Gonzalez (26-4-1, 11 KO) of Cabo San Lucas, Meksyk, fought to a majority draw in their 10-round bantamweight affair.

Ring City’s unofficial scorer Steve Smoger had Gonzalez edging the hometown fighter 97-93.
“I felt his punches, but I was the superior fighter tonight,"Powiedział Gonzalez. “He might have won three rounds but it’s OK. I’m thankful to Puerto Rico and all of the people that gave me an opportunity to be here.”
The 28-year-old Martinez did his best work on the inside as he attempted to neutralize the five-inch reach advantage of the younger Gonzalez and led on two of the scorecards through the midway point of the fight. Tymczasem, Gonzalez flashed excellent hand speed in the back-and-forth affair and stole many of the later rounds when he found his second wind. This marked the third draw for Martinez over his last seven fights and the first for Gonzalez.
“I feel happy, satisfied with the work I did,” said Martinez. “I understand that I was fighting against a strong opponent and that I won. I pushed more. I was on top of him, but these things happen in boxing. Now it’s a matter of continuing to train, maintain myself and seek that title opportunity.”

Colorado Springs, Zakładka. (Marzec 15, 2021) – There is no more of a family affair in USA Boxing thanKayla Gomez’s, in which her mother, Crystal Aceves, and grandmother, Cindy Aceves, work her corner.
They will be together once again at the 2020 USA Boxing Mistrzostwa, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from last December to March 25 – Kwiecień 3, w Shreveport, .
The 18-year-old Gomez, who lives in El Paso (Teksas), is a youth flyweight (112 kg.) bokser, who finished second at the 2019 Mistrzostwa krajowe, highlighting her first year in Youth competition. She has a growing supply of gold medals having finished on top at the 2019 & 2018 Western Regional Open, 2018 & 2017 Junior Open Championships, i 2018 & 2017 Eastern Regional Open. She is also a 5-time National Junior Olympic champion (2015 przez 2019).
A self-described multi-dimensional boxer, Kayla is a counter puncher and consummate boxer, displaying veteran-like “ringmanship,” but also capable of being a technical brawler and pressure fighter. She first started boxing in 2012 after watching a documentary on the 2012 Olympics.
“The inspiration of the boxers training to earn a gold medal motivated me to learn this unique sport,” Gomez explained. “I dedicate my whole life to boxing and as of right now, amateur boxing has impacted my life in a positive manner, paving my way in the near future to earn different accolades and experience for an Olympic gold medal and my pro career.”
Her mother, Crystal, is an amateur boxer who has competed in many tournaments. She will not compete in these championships this year because she is fully focused right now on her daughter and her future. She will be competing at other 2021 tournaments.
“As a boxer, my mom knows what it’s like to be in my position, so instead of getting mad at me, she gives me alternatives to do when I’m feeling low or not myself to have a better chance of being the best fighter I can be,” Kayla explained what it’s like having her mother and grandmother working her corner. “We all have a great relationship and work well in the ring together. They understand what it’s like to be in my position.”
A high school senior, Kayla is in a K-12 program for an online school due to her busy schedule. She does plan to attend college and share her boxing with educational opportunities.
“My education is just as important as my boxing,” She concluded. “I will attend college and work really hard to accomplish my goal of earning a gold medal at the 2024 Olympics and beginning my pro career afterwards.”
Kayla Gomez is a legacy boxer with a promising future.
