Le foilsiú láithreach
Dún na Séad, MD (Bealtaine 3, 2016) – In the movie Coach Carter, Samuel L. Jackson famously quipped to his team of academically struggling players “you are student athletes, student comes first.”
Ar an drochuair, some standout athletes believe their talents supersede performing in the classroom. This has led to high schools and colleges warning or suspending players if their grades didn’t improve.
On the contrary, there are those who take great pride in starring as an athlete and student; such as 17-year-old Joey Veazey.
Known by his moniker of “Bazooka Joe” Veazey is multi-time amateur champion and was ranked internationally. Ar an Déardaointráthnóna, Veazey fights Chris Perkins for the East Coast junior middleweight championship at Michael’s Eighth Ave in Glen Burnie, MD as a featured fighter on a card promoted by Baltimore Boxing.
The card serves as a tribute to Murray “Bushwacker” Smith Sr., father of Baltimore Boxing’s Jake Smith. Tickets purchased in advance start at $25, Tá suíocháin in áirithe $35, reserved tables for ten are $350, $50 VIP seats and $500 VIP tables of 10 can be purchased by calling 410-375-9175. Doirse oscailte ag 6:30 pm and the fights begin at 8.
Slated to compete in his 100ú match, Veazy is a big ticket seller in the Baltimore area and regularly draws large crowds when he enters the squared circle. To Veazey however, he is most proud of his accomplishments outside of the ring, where he’s an honor student finishing up his senior year at Northeast High School.
I mí Lúnasa, Veazey will enroll in college locally and major in either mechanical engineering or computer science. Ag an am céanna, he’ll prepare for his professional debut while still working as a trainer at the Baltimore Boxing Club. Most see being a fighter or student as a full time responsibility, but Veazey believes his work ethic and focus will help him continue to excel in and out of the ring.
"You have to be disciplined in the ring and classroom,” said Veazey. “I know there’s a lot on my plate but I thrive on excelling as a boxer, student and a trainer at the Baltimore Boxing Club. Focusing and paying attention to the task at hand helps keep me dialed in with whatever it is I’m doing at that time. I ndeireadh na dála, my goal is to continue excelling with my academics and win a world title. I believe both are reachable and can become a reality with continued hard work.”
Gabha, who has literally watched Veazey grow as a person and fighter during the last decade, has trained hundreds of fighters and considers Bazooka Joe one of his most special.
"Joey could’ve told himself boxing will be his everything because of how successful he’s been but he’s extremely humble and intelligent far beyond his years,"A dúirt Smith. “He literally goes from one task to another and excels at each of them. Whether he’s a world champion boxer, engineer, computer scientist or all of the above, Joey Veazey epitomizes what it means to be a well-rounded person and I’m very proud of him.”
Sa an comh-gné, Upton Boxing’s Tyrell Boyd and 2016 Golden Gloves champion Aston Sykes will do battle for the Maryland State Middleweight title. Boyd is a former East Coast Middleweight titlist and looks for his second belt while Sykes is riding a wave of confidence having won the Golden Gloves in one of America’s toughest regions.
Popular Clayton Frazier faces Elvin Rodriguez in a battle between boxers from the Baltimore Boxing Gym. Frazier, who has only two fights, is a crowd favorite and hopes to claim local bragging rights in what Smith calls the “Battle of Baltimore Boxing.”
Former basketball star Stefon “Showtime” McRay and future pro standout Donald Wallace will also appear on the card in separae bouts.

WHO: The first British World Champion in the history of MMA will always be Liam McGeary. At 6’6 the towering fighter has achieved notoriety around the world with his impressive skillset, which has seen him end fights with impressive knockout power as well as jiu-jitsu prowess. Currently undefeated at 11-0, tá an todhchaí gheal do na MMA Bellator Champion. An chuid is mó le déanaí, McGeary defeated Tito Ortiz in the main event of the groundbreakingBellator MMA: Dynamite 1.”

 

Is é an t-ainm Gracie shamhlaítear le MMA, and that is largely in part to Royce Gracie, an fear a mheastar a bheith invented an spórt mar is eol dúinn é sa lá atá inniu. The winner of the first several UFC events, Bheadh ​​Gracie dismantle opponents il i oíche amháin, many of which were much larger than him. For many years there was no answer for the Gracie Jiu Jitsu technique that he brought into a fight. Sa lá atá inniu, tá sé deacair a fháil ar Trodaire MMA nach bhfuil oilte i ealaín na jitsu jiu. An chuid is mó le déanaí, Gracie defeated Ken Shamrock in the main event of the record-breaking “Bellator 149.”

One of the most recognizable MMA fighters of all time, Hall of Famer Randy Couture transitioned nicely into the entertainment world after his fighting career, starring in several television shows and movies, most notably the Expendables franchise and Dancing with the Stars. Inside the cage, Couture was a fearless underdog, often defeating men with great size advantages. “The Natural” was a multi-time heavyweight and multi-time light heavyweight champion in the UFC.

When watching any combat sports event, it’s odd not to see Jacob “Stitch” Duran as the professional cutman on duty. Le déanaí, Bellator MMA was pleased to exclusively secure his services as cutman for the foreseeable future, after “Stitch” signed a multi-year contract with the Scott Coker-led promotion. “Stitch” is seen everywhere combat sports events take place, and played a vital role in the recent smash blockbuster, “Creed.”

If there is one legend in attendance who knows a thing or two about kickboxing and MMA, tá sé Cung Le. Born in Vietnam, Le fought 17 times around the globe and never lost before making the leap from kickboxing to MMA, where he won the Strikeforce middleweight championship. Ó ann, the San Jose, Calif. – based fighter would continue to expand his recognition past the world of combat sports, starring in multiple feature films. Le remained competitive into his 40’s, finishing Rich Franklin in what was unanimously considered the 2012 knockout of the year.

 

A legend in the heavyweight division, Mark Coleman was the UFC 10 agus UFC 11 tournament champion, the promotion’s first Heavyweight Champion, and the Pride Fighting Championships 2000 Open Weight Grand Prix champion. The accolades don’t stop there; Coleman represented the United States at the 1992 Summer Olympics and won gold medals at the Pan American Championships in freestyle wrestling in 1990, 91 agus 92.

INFO FIGHT: "Bellator 154: Davis vs. King Mo” bhíonn ar siúl ar Bealtaine 14, and airs LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 8 p.m. AGUS/7 p.m. CT and features a light heavyweight main event of Phil Davis versus King Mo.

WBO Champion Amanda Serrano calls out IBF Champion Jennifer Han for a world title unification bout

Aibreán 22, 2016, history was made in Puerto Rico’s professional boxing, when a female boxing match was the featured bout of the evening, held in the city of Trujillo Alto, where the four-time world champion in three divisions, Amanda ‘The Real Deal’ Serrano ( 28-1-1, 21 KO s ) defeated the number 6th ranked, Edina ‘DNAKiss of Budapest, Hungary by TKO in the fourth round.
Just a week later, IBF featherweight world champion, Jennifer Han of El Paso, Texas, was also in a main event match in front of her people from El Paso, and defeated Colombian, Calixta Silgado via unanimous decision in a ten round fight.
I think the timing is perfect!” Amanda Serrano said, “We both come from recent fights, both of us scored victories and are uninjured and in great condition. Women’s boxing and our fans deserve to see who is the best featherweight in a unification bout”.
Han ( 14-3-1, 1 KO s ) has fought her last four fights in her hometown of El Paso, Texas.
It’s funny because a few weeks ago I had my first fight in Puerto Rico, and have fought in the United States, An Eilvéis, Argentina and Dominican Republic. True Champions often leave their comfort zone to prove they are the real deal in boxing. Tá mé réidh i gcónaí,” Said Serrano, who is the current WBO featherweight World Champion.

On Target: Team Gunn goes 2-0 in Indiana!

 

Hackensack, NJ (Bealtaine 3, 2016) – Undefeated middleweight Bobby Gunn Jr. and debuting cruiserweight Henry Stewart, both of Hackensack, NJ, scored victories last Saturday at the Tyndall Armory in Indianapolis, IN.

Coming off more than a year layoff, Gunn Jr. met hardcore veteran Guy Packer. Gunn Jr., who was regularly in the gym during the layoff, was the sharper fighter. Packer, a 20 year pro that fought the likes of Cornelius Bundrage, Michael Oliveira, Dominique Dalton, J'Leon Grá, Vernon Paris & Joe Greene among others, looked to use his experience against his 19-year-old foe. Gunn Jr. boxed well however, the bout was halted on multiple occasions due to issues with the ring and canvas. In the fourth and final round with Gunn Jr. hoping to close the show, there was yet another issue with the ring and the bout was sent to the scorecards early.

Bhí Scóir 39-37 twice and a head-scratching 38-38.

Gunn Jr is now 6-0 le 4 Bhuaigh ag knockout.

Stewart, a cousin of the Gunn Family, made his professional debut one to remember by destroying Darrel Sohm in 25 soicind. A hard hook followed by a straight right put Sohm down and showed the boxing world that the 21-year-old Stewart enters the paid ranks with heavy hands.

“I’m very proud of my guys,” said Bobby Gunn Sr., a former IBA cruiserweight champion and Bare Knuckle Boxing Hall of Famer who manages and trains both fighters. “Little Bobby was working hard in the gym during the layoff and was fine tuning a number of things. He also grew into his body and is now a solid middleweight. Henry on the other hand is a good sleeper prospect. He’s has excellent power in both hands and will continue to improve in all aspects.”

The next bouts for Gunn Jr. and Stewart will be announced shortly.

Marston le Dúshlán a thabhairt do Tshabalala as a Coróin Dhomhanda an 2 Iúil

Le seachtain anuas nó mar sin tá preas an Domhain ag díriú go mór ar na rudaí a fógraíodh le déanaí 9ú Iúil Tyson Fury-Wladimir Klitschko Athsheoladh Chraobhchomórtais Trom-mheáchain Aontaithe WBO-WBA-IBO. Ceart go leor mar sin, is troid an-mhór é, seachtain amháin roimhe sin, áfach, tá beart aontaithe atá chomh suntasach céanna leis an Domhan ar siúl anseo sa Ríocht Aontaithe.

 

Iúil 2ú, ag an Arena UK i Grantham, Lincolnshire, Domhanda #15 agus na Breataine #1 ní amháin go mbeidh Marianne Marston rangaithe ag tabhairt dúshlán Chónaidhm Dornálaíochta Domhanda na hAfraice Theas (WBFed) Curadh Domhanda Super Bantamweight Gabisile Tshabalala as a choróin chlúiteach, ach beidh sé mar aidhm aige freisin an tAontas Dornálaíochta Domhanda a dhaingniú (WBU), Cumann Dornálaíochta Idirnáisiúnta na mBan (WIBA) agus an Eagraíocht Dornálaíochta Uilíoch (UBO) Duaiseanna Domhanda.

 

London based Marston, who was originally due to challenge Unathi Myekeni for the Bantamweight version of the WBFed strap back in December, that was until Myekeni was forced to withdraw following a hand injury, is cleary relishing the belated opportunity, mar a rinne sí soiléir nuair a labhair sí níos luaithe.

 

“I cannot thank WBFed President Howard Goldberg enough for making this happen, like me he was so dissapointed when Unathi (Myekeni) pulled out injured last year.

 

In addition to Howard, I would also lke to thank WIBA President Ryan Wissow, WBU President Don Lewis and Sebastien Pitois from the UBO, as they have been so supportive throughout my career, so to also challenge for their Championships really is so special for me.

 

I’m forty two now, so honestly thought after Unathi pulled out, that’s it for me, Ní bhfaighidh mé an deis troid ar son teideal Domhanda, Ceart go leor níl sé sin fíor, D’fhéadfainn troid ar son teideal folamh, ach domsa níl sé sin maith go leor, Ba mhaith liom dul i ngleic leis an chuid is fearr, Ba mhaith liom an Curadh Domhanda a bhualadh.

 

Tá físeán de Gabisile feicthe agam, nuair a throid sí an tSionainn (O'Connell) i 2013, ach ba mhaith léi go mór físeán ar bith di a fháil nuair a bhuaigh sí an teideal Domhanda anuraidh. Tá a fhios agam an méid atá athraithe agam, troid ciallmhar, ós rud é 2013 mar sin ba mhaith liom a fheiceáil an bhfuil aon athruithe ar a stíl nó a beartáin.

 

Ón méid atá feicthe agam, Trodaire classy í, lámha an-sciobtha. Nuair a throid sí an tSionainn, bhí sí go príomha i gcoinne punching, a d’oirfeadh dom, ach ar chúis éigin tá mothú agam go mbeidh cur chuige an-difriúil aici mar Churadh cosanta.

 

Bíodh bealach, troid iontach a bheidh anseo don lucht leanúna, tá a leithéid de chodarsnacht inár stíleanna agus is é mo thuairim gurb iad na difríochtaí sin i stíl agus cur chuige oirbheartaíochta a fhágfaidh gur troid iontach é seo.

 

Tá borradh faoi dhornálaíocht na Breataine, tá an oiread sin Seaimpíní Domhanda againn i láthair na huaire, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Kell Brook, Carl Frampton, Lee Selby, Liam Smith, Jamie McDonnell, Lee Haskins, Tony Moran, Craig Docherty, Terry Flanagan, Anthony Crolla, James DeGale agus ar ndóigh mo shean-chara giomnáisiam ag an TKO, Billy Joe Saunders.

 

Is léir gur fir iad uile, mar sin ba mhaith liom an t-easnamh a cheartú beagán agus a bheith páirteach leo, chomh maith le bheith ar an gcéad dhornálaí Mná Briotanach a corónaíodh mar Chraobh an Domhain ó bhuaigh Jane Couch Jaime Clampitt don teideal IWBF i 2004. "

 

Gabisile Tshabalala Vs Marianne Marston don WBFed, WBU, Tá Craobh Domhanda Aontaithe Aontaithe WIBA agus UBO Super Bantamweight i gceannas ar an ócáid ​​a chuir Russ Brown chun cinn AS GOOD AS IT GETS ag an Arena UK i Grantham, Lincolnshire, RA Dé Sathairn 2ú Iúil.

MAIN EVENT ANNOUNCED FOR NEF MMA DEBUT ON CAPE COD

Hyannis, Massachusetts (Bealtaine 3, 2016) - Troideanna Sasana Nua (NEF) Meiriceá uimhir a haon a chur chun cinn gcomhrac réigiúnach, Beidh Tionólfar ócáid ​​seo chugainn, "NEF 23: CAGE THE CAPE” on Dé Sathairn, Bealtaine 14, 2016 at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Níos luaithe inniu, NEF announced the main event of the fight card. Brendan “Lock Down” Battles (0-0) has signed to face Mike “The Mustache” Hansen (4-3) in a professional bout at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Brendan Battles is a native of Eastham, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. There, he was a three-time All American wrestler for Nauset Regional High School. During his high school career, Battles captured a total of two state championships and three New England championships with an amazing 161 wins to his credit prior to graduating in 2012. A multi-sport athlete, he later played defensive end and tackle for the University of Connecticut. Battles made his NEF debut earlier this year at “NEF 21: THE IMMORTALS” when he efficiently dispatched of Mike Hansen’s Berserkers teammate, Dave Smith (2-2) in the first round via TKO ref stoppage. Battles trains out of Gracie Fitness and is a member of Team Juniko based out of Hyannis.

 

“I look forward to Mike coming down to my backyard for my first professional fight,” said Battles. “I know he is a tough fighter, but I look forward to showcasing the skills I have acquired thus far as I continue my journey to become a well-rounded MMA fighter.”

 

Mike Hansen is the founding member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Maine. He won a Maine state championship in wrestling as a heavyweight in 2004. Hansen made his MMA debut shortly after graduating from high school, only to step away from the sport for a decade in order to serve his country as a combat engineer in the United States Army. He returned to the MMA cage in 2015 as a member of the NEF roster. Hansen has become known for taking tough fights against opponents that he is generally undersized next to. Less than two weeks ago, he defeated former top-tanked amateur light heavyweight Jesse “The Barbarian” Baughman (0-2) via first round submission at “NEF 22: ALL ROADS LEAD HERE.Always up for a challenge, Hansen requested the opportunity to face Battles in his highly anticipated professional debut.

 

“I like this fight because I get to fight in Massachusetts again,” stated Hansen. “I made my pro debut at Club Lido at the ‘Wonderland’ Blue Line stop just over a decade ago. I rode the ‘Tfrom Fenway to Wonderland on August 6th, 2005 to make my debut against Eric Brown who I beat by rear naked choke at 1:27 sa chéad bhabhta. Jumping up two weight classes sucks, but I’ve competed at this weight many times. Battles is a very accomplished athlete with a stacked resume. With only three minutes of cage time, I think it’s time Battles was in the cage with someone ready to fight. I will gladly welcome Battles to the professional ranks and see how he stacks up. I’m going to stand right in front of him and make him beat me up and, if he can, tá sé ina Trodaire maith. If he can’t, it is because I didn’t want him to. Ar Bealtaine 14ú, we will have a fight my friend!"

Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz Ordered to Begin Negotiating Guzman vs. Wake Fight for Vacant IBF Super Bantamweight Title

Sampson Boxing Fighters Score Four Impressive KOs in One Weekend
Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz has been given the go-ahead to begin negotiating a world-title fight between his fighter, explosive KO punching Dominican Jonathan Guzman, and the promoters for Japan’s Shingo Wake.
As per their rules for vacant championships, Lewkowicz, representing Guzman, the IBF #2 bantamweight Super, and Kyoei Promotions representing IBF #1 Wake were ordered to begin negotiations immediately and have them completed no later than Meitheamh 2 na bliana seo.
Guzman (21-0, 21 Kos) is hot on the heels of a sensational eight-round stoppage victory over Daniel Rosas last Friday, Aibreán 29, i gCathair Atlantach, in a voluntary eliminator for the #2 spot in the ratings.
Wake (20-4-2, 12 Kos) earned his number one spot by scoring a unanimous decision victory over Thailand’s Mike Tawatchai last June.
Also per IBF rules neither boxer may compete in another match until they face each other.
Any boxer who is contracted with a promoter, a network, or a state, tribal or national commission to take another fight, or who is ill, injured, under a legal impediment which could prevent the bout from taking place in the opinion of the IBF/USBA, or on suspension at the time the Championships Chairman and the President order a bout under this rule shall be considered unavailable. We would then move to the next available contender. Neither fighter can take another fight until this fight for the vacant title is concluded.
In the event the camps cannot reach an agreement by Meitheamh 2, the IBF will call for purse offers to be held to determine who will promote the bout, when and where it will be held.
The Guzman vs. Wake fight is more good news for Sampson Boxing, who had four different fighters score sensational victories over the weekend.
In addition to the aforementioned Guzman TKO, Sampson Boxing’s Jorge “Tuairgnín” Lara scored a jaw-dropping KO 1 over former world champion Fernando Montiel at the StubHub Center in Carson, California, ar an Satharn. Lara had the formidable Montiel on the deck four times in a brutal beatdown that only lasted 1:37.
The same night in the same venue, future world champion and boxing prodigy DavidEl Bandera Roja/Red FlagBenavidez destroyed capable New Yorker Phillip Jackson Benson by KO 2. Benavidez, anois 14-0, 13 Kos, had way too much firepower for Jackson, who entered the ring a respectable 16-2, 15 Kos. An deireadh tháinig ag 2:07 with Jackson down and ruled unable to continue without a count being needed. A star on the near horizon in boxing, high network demand means that Benavidez will be back in action in July.
And in his professional debut ar an Aoine oíche, on the Guzman undercard in Atlantic City, highly decorated amateur star Abraham “Super” Nova turned professional the right way by levelling Delaware’s also debuting Weusi Johnson by KO 1.
Nova, of Braintree, Massachusetts, began his professional career undefeated by putting Weusi to sleep at 2:56 an chéad.
I am looking forward to getting my superstar KO artist Jonathan Guzman his first title shot later this year,” Said Sampson Lewkowicz. “And I give my congratulations to all my other fighters who won by knockout this past weekend. Jorge Lara is back in a big way and headed for a world championship after beating Montiel. David Benavidez is going to become the youngest Mexican super middleweight champion in boxing history and Abraham Nova let the world know he’s here with his power punching. I am proud to be promoting every one of these fighters.
