Straight Rights and Straight A’s: The Joey Veazey Story
לפרסום מיידי
בולטימור, MD (מאי 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.”
לרוע המזל, 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. ביום חמישיערב, 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, מושבים שמורים הם $35, reserved tables for ten are $350, $50 VIP seats and $500 VIP tables of 10 can be purchased by calling 410-375-9175. פתיחת דלתות בשעה 6:30 pm והקרבות מתחילים ב 8.
Slated to compete in his 100ה 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.
בחודש אוגוסט, Veazey will enroll in college locally and major in either mechanical engineering or computer science. באותו הזמן, 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. סופו של דבר, 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.”
נַפָּח, 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,"אמרה סמית '. “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.”
בשיתוף התכונה, 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. פרייזר, 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: אלוף העולם הבריטי הראשון בהיסטוריה של MMA תמיד יהיה ליאם 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. בלתי מנוצח בשלב זה ב 11-0, העתיד הוא בהיר לMMA אלוף Bellator. לאחרונה, McGeary defeated Tito Ortiz in the main event of the groundbreaking “בלאטור: דינמיט 1.”
שם גרייסי הוא שם נרדף לMMA, ושהוא במידה רבה בחלקו רויס גרייסי, האיש שנחשב להמציא את הספורט כפי שאנו מכירים אותו היום. הזוכה בכמה אירועי UFC הראשונים, גרייסי תפרק יריבים רבים בלילה אחד, רבים מהם היו גדולים ממנו בהרבה. במשך שנים רבות לא הייתה תשובה לטכניקת גרייסי ג'יו ג'יטסו שהוא הביא לקרב. היום, קשה למצוא לוחם MMA שלא הוכשר באמנות של ג'יו ג'יטסו. לאחרונה, Gracie defeated Ken Shamrock in the main event of the record-breaking “Bellator 149.”

If there is one legend in attendance who knows a thing or two about kickboxing and MMA, זה 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. משם, the San Jose, קליפורניה. – 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 ו- UFC 11 tournament champion, the promotion’s first Heavyweight Champion, and the Pride Fighting Championships 2000 Open Weight Grand Prix champion.

Marston to Challenge Tshabalala for Her World Crown on July 2nd
Over the past week or so the World’s press have been focusing heavily on the recently announced 9ה July Tyson Fury-Wladimir Klitschko WBO-WBA-IBO Unified Heavyweight Championships rematch. Quite rightly so, it’s a huge fight, however just one week earlier, an equally World significant unification bout is also set to take place right here in the United Kingdom.
בחודש יולי 2nd, at the Arena UK in Grantham, Lincolnshire, העולם #15 and British #1 ranked Marianne Marston will not only be challenging South Africa’s World Boxing Federation (WBFed) Super Bantamweight World Champion Gabisile Tshabalala for her coveted crown, but will also be aiming to secure the World Boxing Union (WBU), Women’s International Boxing Association (WIBA) and Universal Boxing Organization (UBO) World accolades.
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, כשהיא הבהירה כשדיברה קודם לכן.
“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, I’ll never get the chance to fight for a World title, OK that’s not quite true, I could have fought for a vacant title, but to me that’s just not good enough, אני רוצה להילחם הטוב ביותר, I want to beat the World Champion.
I’ve seen video of Gabisile, when she fought Shannon (אוקונל) ב 2013, but would very much like to find any video of her when she won the World title last year. I know how much I have changed, fight wise, מאז 2013 so really want to see if there are any changes to her style or tactics.
From what I have seen, she’s a classy fighter, very quick hands. When she fought Shannon, she was mainly counter punching, which would suit me, but for some reason I have a feeling she will have a very different approach as a defending Champion.
כך או כך, this will be a great fight for the fans, there’s such a contrast in our styles and in my view it’s those differences in style and tactical approach that will make this such a great fight to watch.
British boxing is booming, we have so many World Champions at the moment, טייסון זעם, אנתוני יהושע, קאל ברוק, קרל פרמפטון, לי סלבי, ליאם סמית, ג'יימי מקדונל, לי הסקינס, טוני מורן, קרייג דוקרטי, טרי פלנגן, אנתוני Crolla, James DeGale and of course my old gym mate at the TKO, בילי ג'ו סונדרס.
Obviously they’re all men, so I want to redress the deficit a little and join them, as well as be the first British Female boxer to be crowned World Champion since Jane Couch beat Jaime Clampitt for the IWBF title in 2004.”
Gabisile Tshabalala Vs Marianne Marston for the WBFed, WBU, WIBA and UBO Super Bantamweight Unified World Championship headlines the Russ Brown promoted AS GOOD AS IT GETS event at the Arena UK in Grantham, Lincolnshire, UK on Saturday 2nd יולי.

MAIN EVENT ANNOUNCED FOR NEF MMA DEBUT ON CAPE COD
Hyannis, מסצ'וסטס (מאי 3, 2016) - קרבות ניו אינגלנד (NEF) המספר אחת קידום המאבק של אמריקה האזורית, יקיים האירוע הבא שלה, "NEF 23: CAGE THE CAPE” on יום שבת, מאי 14, 2016 at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center in Hyannis, מסצ'וסטס. מוקדם יותר היום, 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, דייב סמית ' (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.”
מייק האנסן הוא החבר המייסד של ה- MMA של ברסרקרס שמקורו ברומפורד, מיין. He won a Maine state championship in wrestling as a heavyweight in 2004. הנסן ערך את הופעת הבכורה שלו ב- MMA זמן קצר לאחר שסיים את לימודיו בתיכון, רק כדי להתרחק מהספורט במשך עשור על מנת לשרת את ארצו כמהנדס קרבי בצבא ארצות הברית. הוא חזר לכלוב ה- MMA ב 2015 כחבר בסגל ה- NEF. 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 ‘T’ from Fenway to Wonderland on August 6th, 2005 to make my debut against Eric Brown who I beat by rear naked choke at 1:27 בסיבוב הראשון. 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, הוא לוחם טוב. If he can’t, it is because I didn’t want him to. במאי 14ה, we will have a fight my friend!"
"NEF 23: CAGE THE CAPE," מתרחש יום שבת, מאי 14, 2016 at the Hyannis Youth & Community Center in Hyannis, מסצ'וסטס. Tickets for “NEF 23” are $40 להודאה כללית ו $60 for cageside. They are on sale now at www.NewEnglandFights.com/Tickets

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, לבקוביץ ', representing Guzman, ה-IBF #2 bantamweight סופר, and Kyoei Promotions representing IBF #1 Wake were ordered to begin negotiations immediately and have them completed no later than יוני 2 השנה.
גוזמן (21-0, 21 קוס) is hot on the heels of a sensational eight-round stoppage victory over Daniel Rosas last Friday, אפריל 29, באטלנטיק סיטי, in a voluntary eliminator for the #2 spot in the ratings.
Wake (20-4-2, 12 קוס) 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, נִפגָע, 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 יוני 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 “עֱלִי” Lara scored a jaw-dropping KO 1 over former world champion Fernando Montiel at the StubHub Center in Carson, קליפורניה, ביום שבת. 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 David “El Bandera Roja/Red Flag” Benavidez destroyed capable New Yorker Phillip Jackson Benson by KO 2. בנבידז, עכשיו 14-0, 13 קוס, had way too much firepower for Jackson, who entered the ring a respectable 16-2, 15 קוס. הסוף הגיע ב 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 ביום שישי לילה, 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.
נובה, of Braintree, מסצ'וסטס, began his professional career undefeated by putting Weusi to sleep at 2:56 הראשונים.
“I am looking forward to getting my superstar KO artist Jonathan Guzman his first title shot later this year,” אמרתי סמסון לבקוביץ. “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.”
