I’ve learned how to be a better person in and out of the ring from Chad,” said Menard. “I’ve been with him for nine years. I’ve learned how to put punches together better and sit on my shots more. I’ve learned how to cut angles. I’ve learned so much from Chad.
Menard says despite the usual aches and pain experienced in camp he is 100 percent and training is going well. The only adjustments he’s made is to bring in taller sparring partners.
This is huge for me,” he continued. “This is the ‘get up or lay downtype of fight. If I get up, then the sky is the limit. If I fall, then maybe it’s time to look for a job. I’m going to get in there and do what I have to do. Hopefully I get the KO, but if it goes to the scorecards, I just want the win. No matter which way it goes.

Эд Брофи:I’d like to thank the committee of the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame and Ring 8, a wonderful group that sponsors the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. I’m so proud to have been born in New York, in the small town of Canastota, where boxing is in our blood. I’m thrilled to be honored today. My name is attached to the International Boxing Hall of Fame as director, but so many different people help out. I only accept this honor on their behalf. Boxing is the greatest sport. Congratulations to all of the inductees. This is the greatest day of my life.
(L-Р) – Рон Макнейр, Aaron Davis and Bob Duffy
Аарон Дэвіс: Дзякуючы, Кальцо 8. Boxing is a hard sport. It was much harder in the gym. I saw Джэры Куні, Іран Барклая і Раберта Дзюран and wanted to do what those guys did and it made me a fighter I was. I’d like to thank my father and Billy Giles, who was my trainer. I’d also like to thank Joe DeGuardia, who managed me later in my career, and thanks to everybody who supported me.
(L-Р) — Боб Дафі, Dennis Rappaport and family
Дэніс Рапапорт:It seems like yesterday when a six or seven year old living in Brooklyn watched a fight between Джэйк LaMotta і Jim Hairston. This young man was mesmerized. The next month he watchedШугар Рэй Робінсан накаўт Рокі Грацыяно and that was the start of a love affair that’s lasted 63 гады. Бокс, at its best, is poetry in motion. It’s Shapespeare, Picasso, Rembrandt. But it can also be crude. I started in boxing managing three fighters: Ronnie Harris, Джэры Куні і Говард Дэвіс. Малодшы. Because of the creative marketing of our fighters, one reporter called me and my partner, Майк Джонс, ‘The Gold Dust Twinsbut then the media starting calling us, ‘The Wacko Twins.I preferred ‘The Gold Dust Twins.

(L-Р – Джэк Хірш, Joe DeGuardia and Bob Duffy
Джо DeGuardia: It’s a real pleasure, honor and privilege to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. Like many of you here, I live and bleed boxing, which has been a big part of my life. Four months ago, I received the (Кальцо 8 at its Holiday awards dinner) Promoter of the Year award. I said then that we are truly a family of boxing; it’s a real brotherhood. I also talked about how boxing tied into lire. In that roomnot with us nowwas my father who passed away three weeks ago. Because of him, I developed this love of boxing that I’ve carried in life: work hard to do the best you can in life. I’m truly honored to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. In honor of my father and everybody else who loves this sport. I accept on behalf of my father who, Я ведаю, is watching us now.

(L-Р) – Генры Hascup, Рэндзі Гордан, Мелвін лата, Bob Duffy and Gerry Cooney
Рэндзі Гордан: “Дзякуй, усе. This amazing event we have every year, I never expected this would happen. My career was born out of the aches of one of boxing’s biggest scandals, the US Championships on ABC, спрыяе Дон Кінг, and Ring Magazine produced the ratings for the tournament. It turned out the ratings and some of the records were padded and it just about knocked Ring Magazine out of business. Берт Рэндолф Цукар hired me to be its Editor In Chief. Працуем разам, we brought Ring Magazine back from the dead. I burst into tears when Джэк Хірш called to tell me I was being inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. This is an absolute dream. Anybody who has ever or will ever be inducted into any hall of fame, nobody can possibly enjoy this more than me. I love boxing with every ounce of my body. My wife and family drive me back into boxing. This is the greatest honor. I can’t get enough of boxing. I’m truly the luckiest man ever placed on this planet.

Вось тое, што ўдзельнікі павінны былі сказаць, Пятніца:
Джэк Бадуеў
I’ll be ready for this fight. Bute is a very tough opponent. I have to bring my ‘Agame to win. Much respect to him, but he’s not leaving with my belt. Absolutely not. You can expect a very tough fight.
Bute is a much, much tougher opponent that Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., but I’m ready for him.
Bute’s fight against DeGale was one of the best fights last year. That’s the only reason he got this shot. He lost, but he looked good. Гэта быў вялікі бой. Красавіка 30 will be another great fight. And another loss for Bute.
Лучиан Буте
This is a great opportunity for me to fight again for a title. Я адчуваю сябе добра, I started camp six weeks ago. Галоўнае, I’m very healthy. Psychologically, I’m looking forward to becoming a world champion on Красавіка 30.
I respect Badou Jack. He is a great champion, вялікі баец, але на Красавіка 30, I will become a world champion again. I’m looking forward to it.
I will be the new champion. I am very confident. Я чакаю, што гэта будзе вельмі цяжкі бой, but I am coming here to win.
I have a new team. They are changing some things in my work. My confidence is 100 працэнтаў. I’m working every day very tough and I am confident that everything will be great for Красавіка 30.”
Флойд Мэйвезер, Прэзідэнт Мэйвезер Акцыі
This fight is about the best facing the best. I’ve seen Bute fight numerous times and he’s a very exciting and explosive fighter. Every time he goes out there and performs he gives 100 працэнтаў.
Mayweather Promotions is about giving people the best and most exciting fights.
I commend Badou Jack for the way that he carries himself. He is a true gentlemen and that is what this sport is all about. He’s going to continue to make a name for himself in this sport.
PIERRE DUC, VP of Interbox
We’re very thrilled about this fight. For those of you who have not been exposed to Lucian Bute before, ён вялікі баец. He’s been working extremely hard over the course of the last 6-12 months getting ready for a moment like this.
Bute has a very long history of fighting great fights and championship wars. Lucian will be ready for this.
Training camp is going astonishingly well. Lucian is usually more of a gentleman, so he will say he wants to do the best that he can, but I’m telling you that Lucian is going to be walking away with this belt. It’s going to be a fantastic and very exciting evening. Lucian will pull the upset on Красавіка 30.”
Стывен Эспиноза, Executive VP & Галоўны Кіраўнік, Showtime спорту
The one comment I will make about this event, other than to point out it features four of the best fighters in the division, is that it was quite possibly the easiest event to make out of all the events we made this spring and summer. That’s a credit to the promoters and especially a credit to all four fighters.
We didn’t just make two fights here. We’ve got the winners of these fights fighting later in the year in a unification match. To be able to make two fights very quickly and to get everyone on board with fighting the winners in a unification match with no mess, no politics, no arguments and no hesitation is an accomplishment.
These are four real fighters here and they were not afraid of a challenge, they didn’t hesitate at all. This is what the sport of boxing is all about. I personally can’t wait for April 30th and for a unification later in the year.

Субота, Красавіка 16 Live On SHOWTIME®

(Красавіка 4, 2016) – Always tough Патрык “Punisher” Хайленд (31-1, 15 КО) will be fighting for Irish boxing history Субота, Красавіка 16 as he challenges WBC Featherweight World Champion Гэры Расэл-малодшы. (26-1, 15 КО) in the 12-round main event, airing live on ЧАС ДЛЯ ШОЎ ад Foxwoods Resort Casino ў Mashantucket, Канэктыкут.

Hyland is on the verge of joining a pair of exclusive Irish boxing clubs. The 32-year-old from Dublin is attempting to become the first Irishman to be world featherweight champion in 30 гады, since Hall-of-Famer Бары “The Clones Cyclone” Макгиган, in addition to being only the second IrishmanWayneThe Pocket RocketMcCullough stands alone right nowto ever wear the coveted green WBC world title belt.
Макгиган (32-3, 28 КО), fighting out of Clones, captured the WBA Featherweight Title in 1985, taking a 12-round decision from Eusebio Pedroza, and he successfully defended his crown twice against Bernard Taylor і Danilio Cabrera before losing by decision to Steve Cruz у 1986.
The only other Ireland-born world featherweight titlist was Dave Sullivan (27-12-7, 18 КО), who was born in Knocknanaff, County Cork, Ірландыя, but fought professionally out of Boston, Маса. У 1898, Sullivan stopped Solly Smith in the fifth round to become world featherweight champion.
Belfast, Northern Ireland-product McCullough (27-7, 18 КО), who was the WBC Bantamweight Champion in 1995-97, is the lone Irishman to ever be WBC World Champion in any weight class.
Just to be fighting for this title is an honor for me and to challenge a great champion in Gary Russell, Малодшы. is also an honor,” Hyland said from his training camp at Celtic Warrior Gym in Dublin. “To join great Irish boxing names is a dream come true for me. It will also mean the world to me to win this belt for my and family and, галоўнае, for my (позна) dad, for all the hard work he put into me and my two brothers since I was eight years old. To look up and say, ‘Dad, we did it,’ will be the best feeling in the world.
Hyland has fought 10 times in the United States, including a 12-round loss to interim WBA featherweight champion Javier Fortuna in 2012. Hyland lived in Marlboro, New York for a few years when he was promoted by a company headed by then reality television star NicoleSnookiPolizzi.
I love fighting in the United States,” Hyland added. “There’s always a great atmosphere at fights there and the US is the real home of boxing. Snooki Boxing didn’t work out as planned, but they did a great job getting me the WBA title shot which was a great achievement in their first year in boxing.

Барацьба Паведаміць: Churcher KOs Horvath To Secure WBF title as Herbert Shines In Wales

Lee Churcher pulled out a sensational against the odds victory over Hungarian Balazs Horvath у суботу night to secure the World Boxing Foundation Intercontinental Middleweight title, at the Pill Millennium Centre in his hometown of Newport.

 

Churcher, who was World ranked some two hundred plus places lower than Horvath, dominated the bout right from the off. Working behind a good solid jab, the Newport lad enthralled the local fans with some slick combinations, to both body and head, so much so that the more experienced Hungarian soon had to result to holding tactics whenever Churcher was in close range.

 

The canny Welshman was having none of it though and just patiently waited for any opportunity that came his way to punish Horvath with vicious body shots.

 

By midway through the first round Churcher’s confidence really began to grow, after badly shaking Horvath with the aforementioned body shots, so it came as no surprise to anyone when shortly after Churcher sent Horvath to the deck.

 

Horvath recovered but once again resorted to holding tactics to frustrate Churcher through to the end of the round.

 

More of the same in round two more or less, except Churcher really started to get into a flow, catching Horvath with more vicious body shots, the Hungarian tried to cover up, before again trying to grab hold of the Welshman, Churcher is canny though and worked behind the jab again before letting rip with yet another huge right hand to send Horvath down for the second time.

 

The Hungarian made the count and immediately on the restart Churcher went back on the attack, but the Hungarian tried to stifle the Welshman’s attacks by attempting to grab hold again, Churcher though used this to his advantage and let rip with a huge body shot to send the Hungarian back down to the canvas.

 

Clearly in distress, Horvath made an initial attempt to get back to his feet before settling to be just up on one knee, the pain showing on the Hungarian’s face clear for all to see as he attempted to unsuccessfully beat the count.

 

Whilst it may not have been a classic, nothing, but nothing can take away from Lee Churcher the artistry of his craft and tactics throughout and of course claiming the third Championship accolade of his career, the World Boxing Foundation Intercontinental Middleweight Championship, to add to his British Masters and BBBofC Welsh Area Title.

 

Main support for the Churcher-Horvath Championship bout, featured a four round Super Welterweight bout between Nottingham duo Carwyn Herbert and Matt Scriven.

 

What a cracking fight, both combatants going at it hammer and tongs in close combat for the full three minutes of each and every round.

 

After the full four rounds of non-stop action referee Chris Kelly scored the bout 40-36 to the youngster Carwyn Herbert, however that doesn’t really express the closeness of each round or the full on intent of either competitor throughout.

 

Supporting the two pro bouts were six Wales versus England exhibition bouts, supervision courtesy of Wales Boxing. Whilst I’m not going to cover these because they were not pro, have to say the final two bouts of the six were excellent and really could have featured on any pro card and nobody would have known the difference.

 

Have to say plaudits must go to co-promoters Dave Murphy (Acourtier Events) and Steven Fisher (Lights Out Promotions) for digging deep into their pockets to bring both the MBC and the WBF Championship to Wales for the first time, even if it meant there wasn’t enough money in the kitty to justify a full pro show, hopefully the Welsh fans will get behind Lee Churcher so his first defense of the WBF title can also be in Newport or nearby.

Вашынгтон, D.C. (Красавіка 2, 2016) – Чатыры-чэмпіён свету Adrien “Праблема” Broner didn’t have much of a problem beating and stopping Эшлі “скарб” Theophane at 1:10 in the ninth round у галоўную падзею сёння ўвечары Прэм'ер Бокс чэмпіёнаў (PBC) на Spike event in front of a sold out crowd of 8,172 на the DC Armory in Washington, D.C.
На 26-гадовага, Broner, who lost his 140-pound world title on the scale when he failed to make the bout’s weight limit, палепшыў свой рэкорд да 32-2, 24 КО. The controversial fighter from Cincinnati, Агаё, displayed his strength and range of skills against a seasoned Theophane, whose record dropped to 39-7-1, 11 КО.
Сённяшні show was promoted by About Billions Promotions and Mayweather Promotions in association with HeadBangers Promotions.Mayweather Promotions President Floyd “Грошы” Mayweather sat ringside throughout the evening to pay particular attention to the performances of Mayweather Promotions fighters including Theophane, Gervonta Davis and J’Leon Love, who fought on the undercard.
Broner came out in the early rounds showing his speed and versatility, only to be stymied by a game Theophane who showed his own array of boxing skills. Before long, Broner’s ring prowess proved to be too much for Theophane, as he landed power shots at will and began dominating. As Broner wore his opponent down it became easier for him to overpower Theophane and finally stop him in the ninth round.
When people fight me, they come with their ‘A’ гульня, and he came with his ‘A’ гульня. But even his ‘Agame wasn’t enough сёння ўвечары.
As you know, I’ve been going through a lot and for me to come in here and bottle everything up and do what I did, I want to give myself a pat on the back.
Theophane was disappointed and didn’t agree with the stoppage.
I thought the stoppage was premature because I thought I was in the fight. Me and Broner were going at it. It looked like he was starting to get tired because he started to move around and wasn’t able to stay there with me as much.
I thought the fight was back and forth and I think the next four rounds would have been the same. No way should the fight have gotten stopped. It’s a shame the referee did that. I was telling the referee, ‘I’m okay, I’m okay.Then he waived it off. I don’t know what he was thinking.
Broner and Mayweather, who promotes Theophane, have been engaged in a war of words throughout the promotion. Broner challenged the 11-time world champion immediately following his victory.
I’m a man, but at the end of the day, somebody that I look up to, someone that I admire took the chance to do an interview and talk bad about me. I’m a manFloyd has got to see me.
“Я з нічога. I’m talking about water and Cornflakes. And I would never let a man disrespect me like that. So you gotta see me. I don’t care if we’re sparring or if we’re fighting, let’s get it on.
Mayweather did not address the comments.
In the co-feature bout of the night, непераўзыдзены Роберт-малодшы Вялікдзень. (17-0, 14 KO) showed why he’s a rising star with a devastating KO at 2:43 у 5й round over former world champion Mendez algenis (23-4-1, 12 КО) in a lightweight fight that finished with the crowd on their feet. Велікодны, who took a big step up in competition facing Mendez, showed the patience of a season veteran in the early rounds against Mendez who represented the Dominican Republic in the 2004 Olympics and now fights out of Brooklyn.
It didn’t take Easter long to get comfortable and pick up his pace in the third and fourth rounds, with an array of body shots and uppercuts, that found their mark against the game Mendez. Easter closed the show when he knocked down Mendez with a devastating one punch knock-out via a stiff right hand. Mendez got up from the knocked down but was unable to continue, forcing the referee to stop the contest.
My performance was okay. I could have done better, але я шчаслівы,. I got touched more than I expected. Once I settled down, I knew I was going to catch him. I had to stay patient.
Two boxers makes for a boring fight. I wanted to go in there and brawl, but be smart. I knew when I stepped on the gas I would put him to bed and that’s what I did. He was definitely the toughest opponent I have faced in a shorter fight. He is a former champ and he came in ready.
This was a huge opportunity for me and I’m just happy I got the knockout. For what it’s worth, Я адчуваю сябе добра…at least physically I do. I’m pretty disappointed because of the way things turned out, but boxing is a difficult sport.
I don’t have any excuses. I’m glad that I feel fine physically, that’s the most important thing right now. Robert Easter is a good fighter, he did really well and I wish him the best in his career.
У сёння ўвечары PBC on Spike opener, верхняя перспектыва Gervonta “адзін” Дэвіс (15-0, 14 КО) thrilled the crowd with a TKO at :29 of the sixth round over Mexico’s Гільерма Авіла (15-6, 12 КО) in a 10-round super featherweight bout that showcased the young Davisversatility. Дэвіс, who pressed the action throughout the fight while the combatants engaged in many competitive exchanges, showed off his emerging talent as a multi-dimensional young pugilist.
The fight’s action picked up in the fourth when one of Davis’s punches caused a cut underneath Avila’s left eye. Davis continued his assault in the fifth when he landed a straight left hand to send Avila to the canvas. In the sixth and final round Davis came out of his corner and immediately jumped on his opponent causing the referee to halt the action.
I knew he was a strong opponent. He kept bouncing back and I actually thought he was going to get up at the end too. He is very experienced and I thank him for taking the fight. He brought out the best in me.
There is always room to get better and better, but this is another step toward my dream. I’m happy with my performance and it is even more special to have done it where I made my pro debut, so close to home.
I’m happy I could get this victory for my team, Floyd Mayweather and everyone that supports me.
We prepared really well and think we did well,” said AvilaThe cut came from a head-butt which complicated the situation for me as it didn’t let me see properly from that point forward. But it is what it is -he won. He’s good, and he hits hard.
I appreciate everyone who was supporting me and my team. This is not the end of my career. I’m young and this is the type of sport where you just have to bounce back. We’re going to move on with our head up. There’s no other choice.

Del Valle to meet Crespo April 9!

ODV.jpg

Байамон, PR (Красавіка 1, 2016) – Super bantamweight contender Luis “Orlandito” Del Valle returns to the ring on Субота, Красавіка 9 to face New England titlist Josh Crespo in an eight round bout at Rockingham Park in Salem, Нью-Гэмпшыр.

Квіткі ад $35 are on sale by calling 860-982-2532 або 603-898-2311.

A blood and guts warrior who gives fans their monies worth every time he enters the squared circle, Del Valle has an outstanding 20-2 запіс з 15 перамог накаўтам. У лістападзе 2015, the Bayamon native stopped 50-plus fight veteran Jose Juan Beltran after two rounds in Comerio, Пуэрта-Рыка. Currently signed to an exclusive promotional contract with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports, Del Valle has his sights set on another big fight but first must conquer the task at hand.

Born and raised in New Haven, Канэктыкут, Crespo is riding a wave of confidence having defeated Jorge Abiague (9-1) for the New England super bantamweight championship last November. Crespo’s professional ledger is a deceptive 6-2-3 з 2 KO’s but he’s unbeaten in his last five, facing two undefeated fighters in the process.

If victorious, Del Valle is expected to appear in a televised bout in the immediate future. While some potentially view this fight as a given for Del Valle prior to bigger and better things, the 29-year-old knows that records don’t tell the whole story and Crespo’s hunger can’t be overlooked.

“I’ve got big plans but that all goes out the window if I don’t do what I have to against Crespo,” Del Valle said from his training camp in Puerto Rico. “Anybody who really knows boxing understands that a record doesn’t determine how good a fighter is. I’ve seen Crespo before. He’s tough and willing to take on anybody which is evident by the fact that he’s facing me rather than a lesser opponent. I’m training like I’m the underdog since this fight is close to his hometown and I’ve got a lot on the line.”
