About the win, Lipinets said, “I’m really happy with the victory. We worked hard on that shot with my trainer. We knew we could wait and use that right hand at the right time and take it straight to the body.
He’s a very strong, physical opponent. It was a real challenge to get him to where I wanted him. I wanted to get inside and use my speed. It was hard in the beginning to pick him apart, but we were able to get into a rhythm.
I want to keep going up from here. I think I proved myself stasera that I belong at this level.
Said a disappointed Ghvamichava, “Things were going according to my game plan. I ended up getting caught with a shot. I recovered and then he threw that big body shot and it sucked the life out of me.
The rounds were competitive, but I felt like I was winning. I knew I had to keep my jab on him to keep him at bay. I knew he had a strong right hand, but he started to back up and I had never seen him do that so it threw me off.
You don’t expect to be knocked out. We were letting the fight come to me and I thought I was going to be able to stun him, but he has explosive power. I should have been more cautious. I am going to learn from this experience.

I punteggi al momento dell'arresto del gioco erano 70-63 e 69-64 due volte.
Stated Derevyanchenko, “I wasn’t surprised he was so tough. I’ve never seen any of his fights, but I didn’t think it was going to be an easy fight.
His style was awkward. It was hard to tell where his punches were going to come from.
I didn’t pick a specific round that I wanted to knock him out. I just finally picked him apart in the sixth round and then again in the eighth.
In the opening bout of the Premier Boxing Champions onFOX and FOX Deportes”, imbattuto welter, Kevin Watts of nearby Lancaster, California, migliorato per 11-0 with four knockouts with a dominant fifth round stoppage of Michael Chudeckio, (11-3-1 3KO), of Pozman, Polonia.

Said the victorious Watts, “Sono così felice, but I knew I was going to get that win. I train too hard to lose. All I think about is winning. I’ve got too many people rooting for me to fail.
I knew I was going to get the KO, but I was happy it was in the fifth round. I actually thought he was going to make it to the sixth because I didn’t think I hurt him as bad as I did in the fourth.
“Quando è andato giù, I knew it wasn’t a slip. Usually when a drop is ruled a slip, you know it, but that was definitely a knock down. He could barely get back up and after that he just kept backing up and backing up and I took advantage of that.
Not sure what is exactly next, but I do know I’ll be ready.

Rainone has a record of 24-7-1 with with five knockouts has long been a fan favorite in the Empire state, and the fight with Chalmers will fulfill a venue that has been on the 36 year-old’s bucket list.
I have fought in Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, The Legendary Blue Horizon and Las Vegas. I have been wanting to fight in Atlantic City for a long time and Saturday it finally happens,” said Rainone.
What makes Rainone’s career even more fascinating is that he works a full-time job overnight working for Hilton Hotels in the accounting the department.
That makes for long days, working until the early morning, getting just a few hours of sleep and then going to the gym before his overnight shift.
I have not had a day off in seven weeks, but I will be ready to go il Sabato notte. I have had pretty good training and sparring. Now I am just maintaining my weight
In Chalmers, he is facing a veteran who has a record of 14-12-1 con otto ko. Chalmers has knocked off three undefeated fighters, but Rainone is confident that his skills and preparation will be enough to get his hand raised.
I have seen him once in person. He defeated an undefeated guy and he was very aggressive that night. I have seen other fight’s where he sits back and is a counter puncher. I prepare for anything.
Since turning professional in 2006, Rainone has been an instant fan favorite, and he feels he owes a lot of support to the many supporters who have stuck by him through his whole career.
Without a fan base, you don’t get fights. I will have 100 or so fans down in Atlantic City. I owe everything to them.
Rainone believes his popularity is due large in part to him being just aneveryday guyand his fans can relate to him.
I always put on a good fight, but I am relate able. After the fights, I hang out with everybody. I am humble and I show the fans how much I appreciate him.
Nel suo ultimo incontro, Rainone took one of the step up fights that could have set him up for a major opportunity when he took on former junior middleweight champion Ishe Smith.
Rainone came up just short in that fight, but Rainone wanted to test himself against the former world champion.
That fight was a tall order. Ishe is the bigger man and a former world champion. I am not a junior middleweight. I tried very hard and I knew if I had won that fought, I would have been ranked in the top-ten.
Rainone is only planning to fight another couple of years and he still has the goals of every fighter, but he is taking his career fight by fight.
The goal is one fight at a time. I am excited to fight in Atlantic City. I want to fight at Barclays Center and again in Madison Square Square Garden as well fighting for a title back in Atlantic City.
I have done this the hard way throughout my career. I do not know who has done it the way I have. I have done this on my own without any alliance or any promoter and I am very proud what I have accomplished and I still have more to do.

Nella co-feature Showtime Championship Boxing, undefeated IBF Super Featherweight World Champion Jose Pedraza will defend against mandatory challenger Stephen Smith.
Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 KO) will be making the first defense of his featherweight world title that he earned after stopping defending champion Jhonny Gonzalez in the fourth-round last March. He was set to defend last November, but was forced to withdraw due to a training injury. If he can get by the extremely motivated Hyland (31-1, 15 KO), Russell Jr. is in line for big fights with fellow champions and top contenders such as Leo Santa Cruz, Lee Selby, Abner Mares e Carl Frampton.
I’m excited about being back in the ring,” said Russell. “It’s been a year because of an injury, but I’m feeling great and more ready than ever. I’ll be prepared for anything. I’m looking forward to meeting Mr. Hyland on the 16th and I’m ready to prove I’m the best featherweight in the world.
This is a fantastic opportunity to fight for the WBC title, one of the belts that I’ve always wanted to hold,” said Hyland. “It means the world to me to be fighting for this title against a real champion like Gary Russell Jr. I think he’s a great fighter who does everything well so I have to be at my best on fight night. But I know I can beat him and take that belt home to Ireland. I’m just a lad from Jobstown in Tallaght who works hard and loves the fight game. I’ve been trained all my life by my father, may God rest him, and to win a world title will make all of his hard work and effort worthwhile.
Pedraza (21-0, 12 KO) won his 130-pound world title last June when he dominated Andrey Klimovto capture the vacant belt, and he successfully defended it last October in an exciting battle againstEdner Cherry. Both bouts aired on SHOWTIME. Now he faces the mandatory challenger in Fabbro(23-1, 13 KO), che ha vinto 11 straight bouts and may present the toughest challenge of Pedraza’s burgeoning career.
I am in excellent condition, had an extraordinary training camp and am anxious to demonstrate my skills in the ring on April 16,” Detto Pedraza. “I am truly looking forward to entertaining the fans in attendance and remaining undefeated as I defense my crown against Smith. I am determined to become the next big star out of Puerto Rico.
I’ve waited a long time for this opportunity, but the timing couldn’t be better,” ha detto Smith. “I’m excited to get the opportunity to win the world title live on Sky Sports in the UK and on SHOWTIME in America. Pedraza is a quality fighter but I know I will do whatever is needed to become world champion on April 16 and I can’t wait.
I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, che è promosso da DiBella Entertainment, sono al prezzo di $150, $90 e $45 non compresi gli oneri di servizio applicabili e le tasse e sono già in vendita. I biglietti sono disponibili pressowww.ticketmaster.com e www.foxwoods.com o visitando il Foxwoods’ Botteghino. Per caricare al telefonata Ticketmaster (800) 745-3000. The Pedraza vs. Smith bout is promoted in association with Gary Shaw Productions, Universal Promotions and Matchroom Boxing.
This SHOWTIME doubleheader is a can’t-miss event,” ha detto Lou DiBella, Presidentof DiBella Entertainment. “In Russell-Hyland, you have one of the most gifted fighters in all of boxing defending his title against a hungry and tough-as-nails Irishman in the biggest fight of his career. Pedraza is looking to make a statement against Smith, Britain’s number one contender, and to follow in the footsteps of past Puerto Rican superstars.
A speedy and supremely talented boxer, Russell Jr., was impressive in his fourth-round stoppage of the battle-tested Gonzalez last March. Il 2008 U.S. Olympian had scored important victories overVyacheslav Gusev, Juan Ruiz, e Miguel Tamayo before losing a majority decision to Vasyl Lomachenko for the WBO 126-pound title in June 2014. Il mancino, di Capitol Heights, Md., was able to return to his winning ways with a unanimous decision over Christopher Martin that December prior to his coronation against Gonzalez, whom he dropped three times en route to capturing the title.
Leading into his last fight on Ottobre. 10, a Lowell, Mass., Irlanda Hyland was dealing with heavy emotions following the death of his beloved father and longtime trainer, and the birth of his first son. The 32-year-old remained steadfast, fighting in memory of his father to stop David martinez in occasione dell'ottavo round. It was his fourth consecutive victory since suffering his lone defeat, a close and competitive loss to the unbeaten Javier Fortuna for the interim WBA World Featherweight Title in December 2012. Ora, presented with another world title opportunity, Hyland seeks to honor his father’s legacy by bringing the championship back home.
The switch-hitting former Puerto Rican Olympian Pedraza backed up his “Il cecchino” moniker against Klimov as he picked apart the Russian with superior speed and accuracy on his way to a world title. Pedraza earned a shot at the title in his previous bout with a career-best win over former world title challenger Michael Farenas. The 26-year-old will have title unification on his mind if he can conquer his mandatory opponent on Aprile 16.
Part of a fighting family, Smith’s brothers Callum, Liam and Paul all fight professionally at a high level and he hopes to join Liam as a fellow world champion on Aprile 16. The 30-year-old has fought professionally since 2008 and his only blemish came against featherweight world champion Lee Selby in 2011. Smith earned his title shot with a sixth-round stoppage of Boschiero preventivo nel mese di settembre 2015 e farà il suo U.S. debut at Foxwoods.

PAUL WILLIAMS TORNA ALLA BOXE COME ALLENATORE

EX CAMPIONE DEL MONDO PER FORMARE IL PROSPETTO JUSTIN DELOACH

IN QUARTA LOTTA AGGIUNTA A VENERDI, MARZO 25,

ShoBox: LA NUOVA GENERAZIONE TRASMISSIONE TELEVISIVA

“Ho di nuovo paura, come se questo fosse il mio primo incontro". – Paul Williams

 

Super Welter DeLoach affronta l'imbattuto locale Dillon Cook;

Promettente incontra Aaron Herrera nel Main Event;

In diretta su Showtime® A 10:30 p.m. E/PT

NEW YORK (Marzo 15, 2016) – L'ex due volte campione del mondo Paul Williams, la sua carriera da professionista ha avuto una fine improvvisa e tragica quando è rimasto paralizzato dalla vita in giù dopo un incidente in moto a maggio 2012, è tornato nella boxe come allenatore.

 

La popolare Williams lavorerà l'angolo di una volta battuto Justin DeLoach (13-1, 7 KO) quando DeLoach affronta imbattuti super welter e favorito locale Dillon Cook (16-0, 6 KO) nell'incontro di apertura di otto round di quello che ora è a ShoBox: La nuova generazione quadrupleheader su Venerdì, Marzo 25, vivereORARIO DELLO SPETTACOLO (10:30 p.m. E/PT, in ritardo sulla West Coast) da Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Okla.

 

DeLoach è il primo pugile ad essere allenato dalla Williams, l'ex mancino di 154 libbre che è stato costretto su una sedia a rotelle dall'incidente.

“Penso di essere stato egoista all'inizio,” ha detto Williams. “Non volevo occuparmi del gioco di combattimento. Volevo essere quello che combatteva. Ma questo è cambiato".

 

Williams era riluttante ad addestrare i combattenti per molto tempo. EraGiorgio Peterson, che ha gestito e allenato la Williams da quando il pugile era un ragazzo magro con poca esperienza amatoriale fino alla fine della sua carriera, che ha contribuito a persuadere "The Punisher" a tornare sul ring. Williams allena il suo allievo in una palestra privata nella sua città natale di Aiken, SC.

 

"Sai chi sono, Non volevo davvero farlo,', ha detto Williams. “Ma finalmente dopo tre o quattro anni in cui George mi ha praticamente implorato di provare a farlo, questa opportunità è arrivata e ho deciso di provarci.

 

“Tutto riguarda il tempismo. Ho iniziato a pensarci, George continuava a chiedermelo e a prendermi in giro, una cosa tira l'altra, e alla fine ho detto che ci avrei provato.
Williams, che si sta godendo la sua nuova descrizione del lavoro, ammette che ci sono alcuni nervosismi pre-combattimento.

 

“Ho di nuovo paura, come questo è il mio primo combattimento. Ora, Devo pensare a tutto ciò che Mr. Pete stava pensando a quando stavo litigando. Devo cercare di insegnare a Justin quello che sapevo come fare.

 

“George ed io abbiamo ottenuto molto. Mi ha reso un campione del mondo; prima di ciò, nessuno sapeva chi lui o io fossi. Eravamo solo un paio di ragazzi di Aiken, SC. Abbiamo regalato ai fan combattimenti da ricordare.

 

"Ero il combattente che la stampa ha etichettato come 'Più temuto nella boxe'. Ma ora è finita per me. Sto saltando in una cosa completamente nuova. È stato un aggiustamento, ma sono contento di farlo.''

 

Nel suo ruolo di allenatore, La mentalità di Williams è cambiata drasticamente dai suoi giorni di combattimento. "Aspetto, Mi sento sempre bene,'', Ha detto. “Quello che è successo è successo. È quello che è. Questa è la prima volta che torno nel mondo. Io amo la boxe.

 

“Quello che non voglio vedere è un combattente che si fa male. Questo è uno sport difficile. So che quando ero lì andavo sempre al verde. Ma voglio Justin, tutti i combattenti in realtà, uscire dal ring nello stesso modo in cui sono entrati. Vincere o perdere, Non voglio vedere nessuno farsi male.''

 

Su DeLoach, Williams ha detto, “È un buon combattente e ora è sotto i riflettori. Voglio fare del mio meglio nel mondo dell'allenamento per portarlo al suo apice. Spero che faccia del suo meglio. Mi piacerebbe unire George con Justin.''

 

Diventare il migliore richiede un lavoro faticoso su base giornaliera, e Williams non era estraneo a impiegare le ore.

 

“Non ho mai preso una scorciatoia,'', Ha detto. “Prendete scorciatoie, sai cosa accadrà. Ho preso la lunga strada verso casa quando stavo combattendo e fan, combattenti, tutti sapevano cosa aspettarsi quando sono salito sul ring.

 

“Justin non è così, ma una cosa che so è che i combattenti pensano di essere abili. Bene, non puoi tirare niente su di me. Io ci sono stato, visto tutto.''

 

E, come sempre, avrà George Peterson al suo fianco.

 

“Sto solo aiutando Paul,', ha detto Peterson, che servirà come assistente allenatore di Williams. "Finora, sta andando alla grande”.

 

Sarà il ShoBox e 2016 debutti — e la lotta più dura fino ad oggi — sia per DeLoach che per Cook.

 

DeLoach era un grande dilettante, gareggiando nei Campionati Nazionali di Pugilato USA a 2012. Ha vinto un titolo nazionale Silver Golden Gloves quando lo era 13.

 

Il 22enne DeLoach, di Augusta, Ga., ha vinto tre vittorie di fila da quando ha subito la sua unica sconfitta Cesare Villa il Feb. 6, 2015. Questo prima che iniziasse ad allenarsi con la Williams.

 

“Questa è stata una benedizione totale, e lo dico tutti i giorni,” ha detto DeLoach. "Grazie Dio. È lui che ha unito noi due, questa è la cosa principale. Paolo lo adora, solo per tornare. Penso che all'inizio fosse spaventato, era in gioco la sua reputazione e anche la mia.

 

“Ma è stato così utile, solo nel lato mentale delle cose. Ero già un buon pugile ma mi ha portato a un altro livello mentalmente. Mi ha spinto, criticandomi, dandomi istruzioni e selezionando il mio cervello.

 

DeLoach e Williams sono cresciuti da soli 30 minuti lungo la strada l'uno dall'altro.

 

“Io e Paolo, ci conosciamo da tutta la vita,', ha detto DeLoach. “Io sono di Augusta, Ga., ed era proprio di fronte ad Aiken. Ci conoscevamo quando stavo diventando un dilettante. È venuto al mio ultimo incontro da professionista che è stato a San Antonio. Quando l'ho visto, Mi sono emozionato così tanto. Abbiamo iniziato a parlare e ho detto qualcosa del genere, 'Hey, Paul, non sarebbe bello se ci mettessimo insieme?'

 

“Una volta sono tornato a casa, abbiamo iniziato a lavorare insieme e da allora mi ha allenato. Penso che andremo avanti da circa tre mesi. È una sensazione incredibile poter lavorare con uno dei miei combattenti preferiti".

 

Nella sua ultima uscita, DeLoach ha vinto una decisione di chiusura di quattro roundSantos Benavidez ultimo Dicembre. 12. DeLoach, un professionista da marzo 2013, combattuto sei volte quell'anno e quattro volte ciascuno 2014 e 2015.

 

“Non vedo l'ora di lottare per la prima volta per lui,” ha detto DeLoach. "Sono impazzito aspettando la mia pausa e un'opportunità come questa per combattere su SHOWTIME. So che non è facile combattere nel cortile del tuo avversario, ma con Paolo, George Peterson, io e le mie capacità, siamo fiduciosi che sarà una bella battaglia.''

 

Cuoco, 25, è di Seneca, Mo., che si trova circa 20 minuti da Buffalo Run Casino dove ha combattuto sei volte. Un grande dilettante, ha vinto sei titoli Golden Gloves, un titolo nazionale Junior Golden Gloves, un titolo Heartland e quattro titoli regionali Silver Gloves. È popolare a Buffalo Run e farà il suo debutto televisivo in una rete premium contro facilmente il suo incarico più pericoloso come professionista. Il fratello di Cook, Jesse, un peso welter con un record di 15-1-1, boxerà sulla parte non televisiva dell'evento.

 

Dillon Cook è diventato professionista ad agosto 2012, combattuto due volte quell'anno, sette volte dentro 2013, quattro volte dentro 2014 e tre volte l'anno scorso. Cinque dei suoi ultimi sette si sono svolti a Buffalo Run, di cui due su tre in 2015. Sta venendo fuori una decisione sbilenca di otto roundRahman Yusubov ultimo Novembre. 14.

 

“Non potrei essere più entusiasta di fare il mio ShoBox debutto, proprio a casa, al Buffalo Run Casino,” ha detto il cuoco. “Questa è una grande opportunità per me, e ho intenzione di fare uno spettacolo spettacolare, per tutti i miei fan lì quella notte e per tutti quelli che guardano in TV.

 

Nel ShoBox evento principale, imbattuto artista ad eliminazione diretta super leggero e stella nascente emergente, Regis "Rougarou" PROGRAMMI (16-0, 13 KO), Houston passando per New Orleans, incontrerà esperti Aaron "Il Gioiello" Herrera (29-4-1, 18 KO), di Valladolid, Messico, in una partita da 10 round.

MATT MITRIONE SCEGLIE BELLATOR MMA, FIRMA UN ESCLUSIVO, CONTRATTO MULTICONTRO CON LA PROMOZIONE

SANTA MONICA (Marzo 14, 2016) - La settimana scorsa, il miglior agente libero di arti marziali miste Matt Mitrione (9-5) si è unito allo spettacolo "MMA Hour" di Ariel Helwani e ha rivelato di aver ricevuto offerte da più promozioni, compresa una grande offerta che aveva ricevuto da Bellator MMA. In una mossa molto rara, Helwani ha invitato Mitrione a partecipare al suo popolare talk show per la seconda settimana consecutiva per annunciare che i documenti sono stati finalizzati, rendendo Mitrione il nuovo membro della divisione dei pesi massimi di Bellator MMA.

 

"Arriva un momento nella vita di ogni atleta, dove gli scenari cambiano e il paesaggio si è eroso da quello che ti ha fatto innamorare inizialmente,”Disse Mitrione. “È diventato quel momento per me. Dopo un periodo di free agency reciprocamente vantaggioso, Ho deciso di spostare la mia carriera a Bellator. Mi sono goduto quasi ogni secondo della mia carriera e, a differenza della maggior parte, ho cambiato organizzazione perché sono stato tagliato o non sono più in grado di esibirmi ai livelli più alti, Sto portando un corpo e un set di abilità che stanno solo migliorando e non vedo l'ora di mettere alla prova le mie capacità contro il meglio che Bellator ha da offrire ".

 

Affettuosamente definito "Meathead,"Mitrione è uno dei pochi combattenti ad aver iniziato la sua carriera professionale con l'UFC senza aver precedentemente gareggiato nel circuito regionale. Il suo periodo di 14 incontri con quella promozione è iniziato nel 2009, dove ha affrontato avversari formidabili del calibro di: Kimbo Slice, Gabriel Gonzaga, Ben Rothwell, Derrick Lewis, Brendan Schaub, Roy Nelson, Shawn Jordan e Travis Brown tra gli altri.

 

Prima di competere in MMA, Mitrione ha guadagnato una borsa di studio per giocare a placcaggio difensivo per la squadra di calcio Purdue Boilermakers, non lontano da dove è cresciuto a Springfield, Malato. Dopo l'università, ha giocato nella NFL per i New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers e Minnesota Vikings fino al 2005.

 

Alla conclusione della sua carriera calcistica professionistica, la cintura nera di Karate Shotokan ha concentrato tutta la sua attenzione sullo sport delle MMA. Mitrione ha trascorso del tempo ad allenarsi con Duke Roufus e il rispettato team Roufusport prima di atterrare con il famoso campo di Blackzilians a Boca Raton, FLA, dove si allena oggi.

 

Il popolarissimo e ben parlato Mitrione ha permesso ai giudici di determinare il risultato del suo combattimento solo due volte, contro Joey Beltran e Cheick Kongo, entrambi attualmente combattono per Bellator MMA. Il suo divertente stile di combattimento gli è valso il riconoscimento “Performance della notte” (due volte) e “Fight of the Night” riconoscimenti.

 

Prima della sua ultima battaglia con la sua ex promozione, Mitrione è stato costretto a partecipare a una seduta mediatica a piedi nudi, poiché le sue scarpe non aderivano alla rigida politica delle uniformi aziendali. Non avrà questi problemi a Bellator, dove è libero di assicurarsi i propri sponsor e di tenere i piedi al caldo con le calzature di sua scelta.

 

Bellator ha rafforzato la loro divisione dei pesi massimi negli ultimi tempi, e Mitrione diventa il secondo free agent dei pesi massimi che la promozione ha firmato in altrettanti mesi, come Sergei Kharitonov si è unito alla mischia a febbraio. La divisione è attualmente sostenuta da Vitaly Minakov, e include altri nomi importanti come Slice, Bobby Lashley, Cheick Kongo, Vinicius “Spartan,"Tony Johnson, Justin Wren, Dan Charles e Augusto Sakai.

Hooker, rated number seven by the WBO, is coming off of a career-best win on October 17, 2015 against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma (17-2, 11 KO) al Madison Square Garden. Hooker successfully defended his NABO title with the 10-round decision win over Maduma on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux in a fight that was featured on the event’s “freeview” in the United States and streamed online around the world. Buelvas, a former WBA Fedebol champion, has won two of his last three bouts by knockout and fought Humberto Soto for the WBC Silver International Super Lightweight title in 2014, going the 12-round distance before losing a decision to the former World Champion.

 

Born and raised in Oak Cliff, Texas, a rough suburb of Dallas, Hooker found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths. His natural talent was soon noticed resulting in him competing as an amateur, during which time he participated in over 100 combattimenti, compilazione di un record di 97 vittorie e solo 7 perdite, con 67 victories coming by way of knockout. Hooker turned professional on April 29, 2011, taking on the vastly more experienced Tyrone Chatman (7-1, 5 KO) at the Orpheum Theater in St. Louis. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 e 38-38, making the fight a split draw. Imperterrito, in his next fight on June 24, 2014, Hooker scored his first professional win, knocking out Wilbert Mitchell in the first round at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, Texas. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos (8-0, 4 KO) a gennaio 17, 2014 in a bout that was featured on ShoBox from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis. After eight close, hard-fought rounds, the judges saw the fight a draw. Hooker followed the draw with a six-round unanimous decision win over Adrian Rodriguez Garza (8-2, 6 KO) su Aprile 26 at Fitzgerald’s Casino and Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi. Four consecutive knockout victories would follow before he took on fellow undefeated prospect Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1, 7 KO) giugno 26, 2015 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas for the vacant NABO Junior Welterweight Championship. “Mighty Mo” did not disappoint his legion of hometown fans who saw him capture the title with a sixth round technical knockout victory.

 

Hailing from Rancho Cucamonga, California e la lotta fuori del focolaio boxe di Oxnard, imbattuto Daniel "Twitch" Franco (12-0-3, 7 KO) meets Mexican veteran German “Panteonero” Meraz(52-37-1, 30 KO) in an eight-round featherweight bout on Marzo 26. Featured for the second time on a Ward undercard, the sharp-boxing Franco will look to improve on his undefeated record against an opponent with literally six times his pro boxing experience. Meraz is only 29 years old but has already logged an amazing 90 professional bouts and has won four of his last six fights by knockout. He has fought current World Champion Juan Carlos Payano, Three-Time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren and highly-touted prospect Gervonta Davis, going the distance with all three.

 

Franco began boxing at the age of eight, accumulando un record amatoriale 67-15, vincendo il campionato Oxnard PAL in 2006 e il Campionato Guanti California State Silver a 2007 lungo il percorso. Durante il debutto professionale di Franco dicembre 18, 2010, sconfisse Emanuel Machorro al Club 401 in Ontario, California tramite un terzo turno ko tecnico. Nonostante sia iscritto come studente a tempo pieno presso Chaffey College di Rancho Cucamonga, Franco ha colpito all'inizio della sua carriera, la compilazione di un record di imbattibilità con due pareggi in locali in tutta la California per la fine del 2013. Uno di questi è venuto pareggi contro Alejandro Ochoa a Cannon tranquillo a Montebello, California settembre 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, Franco outmatched Ochoa segnando un sei round vittoria decisione unanime al Westin Bonaventure Hotel di Los Angeles. Nel giugno 20, 2015, during Ward’s return to the ring at Oracle Arena, Franco saw action in an eight-round junior lightweight bout against Jonathan Alcantara and won by unanimous decision. A hand injury suffered in that bout kept Franco out of action until Dicembre 21when he scored a decision victory over Hector Garcia in Tijuana, Messico.

 

A promising unbeaten prospect from Salinas, California, Rudy “The Revelation” Puja. Jr. (7-0, 6 KO)looks to extend his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano (7-5, 4 KO) of Ensenada, Mexico in a six-round middleweight bout. Puga turned in a career-best performance in his last match-up on February 12 in knocking out Alejandro Osuna (4-2, 2 KO) in two rounds at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California. Ora, just a little over a month later, “The Revelation” will step into the ring against a tough opponent in Lozanao, a southpaw who has never been stopped and already has a ten-round decision victory under his belt.

 

Having compiled an exceptional amateur record of 99-8, Puga made his professional debut on September 2, 2011, scoring a fourth round technical knockout victory over Raul Talamontes at the Sports Complex in his hometown. Back in the ring less than two months later, Puga Jr. raised his record to 2-0 with a first round technical knockout of Jose Jesus Hurtado at the Sherwood Inn in Salinas. Nel mese di giugno 2012, he sent Thomas Turner to the mat four times in scoring a second round technical knockout win at the Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. After a little more than a year away from the ring, he rededicated himself to the “sweet science” with a vengeance and on February 17, 2014, Puga Jr. made his comeback stopping Charon Spain in the third round with an overpowering body shot at the Salinas Storm House in his native Salinas. Promotional issues kept Puga Jr. out of the ring for the next year and injuries led to a slow 2015, but Puga Jr. scored a a fourth round technical knockout win over of Katrell Straus on Aprile 24 and a six-round unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Rojas on Novembre 21, both fights taking place at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California.

 

Brooklyn’s 20-year-old, imbattuto Junior “The Young God” Younan (7-0, 6 KO) torna sul ring il Marzo 26 after a nine-month layoff to take on Cristian Solorzano (4-7, 3 KO) di Sonora, Mexico in a four-round super middleweight fight. Younan has battled multiple nagging injuries since scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Mike Sawyer on the Miguel Cotto vs. Daniel Geale undercard on June 6, 2015 a Barclays Center a Brooklyn, New York. Ora 100 percent healthy, Younan looks to make Solozano his third straight knockout victim. Solorzano, a naturally bigger fighter, has campaigned in the light heavyweight division and is coming off of a knockout win.

 

Younan, trained by his father Sherif, a former professional boxer himself, began fighting competitively at age eight and only two years later was called a “boxing prodigy” by the New York Times. Ha compilato un record amatoriale di 90-5, racking up an impressive series of titles along the way including nine Junior Olympic championships, nine Junior Metro championships, eight New York State Silver Gloves championships and five Regional Silver Gloves championships. In 2011, he was crowned National Junior Golden Gloves champion and was U.S.A. Boxing’s number one rated junior boxer in his weight class. Less than a month after his 18th compleanno, Younan made his professional debut on November 9, 2013, at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, New York, stopping Kenneth Schmitz in the first round. Younan would go on to knockout his next three opponents before going the distance for the first time against Azamat Umarzoda on July 2, 2014 al Foxwoods Resort Casino di Mashantucket, Connecticut. He followed that fight with a first round knockout of Marlon Farr on Agosto 13 the BB King Blues Club and Grill in New York on Agosto 13.

Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 KO) joins the undercard on Marzo 26 in a four-round bout against an opponent yet to be determined. The Silver Medalist from the 2008 Beijing Olympics continues to infuse excitement into the heavyweight division and is coming off of a first round technicalknockout win over David Koswara on February 20 at the Lanzhou Sports Arena in Lanzhou, Porcellana.

 

Born on May 2, 1983 in Henan, Zhang began his amateur career in 2003, participating in the World Championships. A breakthrough came in 2007 at the World Championships where Zhang defeated the trio of Nurpais Torobekov, Rustam Rygebayev and Daniel Beahan en route to the semifinals where he lost to Ukrainian Vyacheslav Glazkov. By capturing a bronze medal and finishing the competition in third place, he qualified for the 2008 Olimpiadi estive a Pechino. The Chinese powerhouse nearly reached the zenith of amateur success in the summer of 2008, entering the super heavyweight finals at the Summer Olympics in Beijing against Italy’s Roberto Cammarelle. It was not to be as Zhang suffered his first defeat of that Olympiad, losing to Cammarelle, but proudly adding to the host country’s medal total with a Silver. In 2009, Zhang captured a gold medal at the China National Games, an event of equal prestige to the Olympics in China. 2013 saw yet another gold medal winning performance in the China National Games, setting the stage for “Big Bang” to embark on a professional career while basing himself in the United States. Il primo agosto 8, 2014, Zhang made his professional debut by scoring a first-round knockout win over Curtis Lee Tate in Fallon, Nevada in a fight that was televised live on ESPN2. Nel marzo 14, 2015, Zhang beat Eric George via a four-round unanimous decision at the Armory in Jersey City, New Jersey. He followed that with another four-round unanimous decision win, this time over Glenn Thomas on the highly anticipated Cotto-Geale undercard at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Giugno 6. Next came a sixth round technical knockout win over Dennis Benson at The Playground in Atlantic City on Agosto 15. To end the year, Zhang was featured on the undercard of the Novembre 21 Cotto vs. Canelo mega-fight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, where scored a four-round unanimous decision victory over Juan Goode.

 

Hayward locale, California preferito Aaron Coley (12-1-1, 6 KO) faces a very stern test in a six-round junior middleweight bout against Seguito Ryskeldiev (11-3-2, 7 KO) of West Hollywood, California, a Kyrgyzstan native who is undefeated in his last seven fights.

 

Su Marzo 26, Coley will look follow his most recent victory, a unanimous decision over Jeremy Ramos onGennaio 23 at the Marriott on Broadway in Oakland, with another win in front of his hometown fans. Prior to his January win he scored two unanimous decision triumphs, including his June 20, 2015 performance against Yusmani Abreu (who Ryskeldiev defeated by technical knockout in September) on the undercard of Ward’s last fight. Considered a promising prospect in boxing circles, Coley’s lone loss came via decision to one of boxing’s hottest prospects in Ievgen Khytrov in a bout that was televised live on Showtime’s ShoBox on April 10, 2015 from The Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, New York.

WMMAA President Vadim Finkelchtein Leading sport into future

MONTE CARLO, Monaco (Marzo 14, 2016)- Associazione mondiale di arti marziali miste (WMMAA) Presidente Vadim Finkelchtein, who founded the sanctioning organization in 2012, continues to lead WMMAA and the sport into a very bright future.
In four short years, WMMAA has alreadydeveloped into the strongest sanctioning body in the MMA world, hosting some of the sport’s most prestigious championships, as well as creating a highly respected culture in throughout sports worldwide.
Finkelchtein answered some pertinent questions below about WMMAA, its past and future, in addition to addressing the growth of mixed martial arts:
Can you tell us about you and your experience in Martial Arts?
VF: “I practiced judo when I was a kid. Back then there was no MMA whatsoever.

How did you first enter the world of MMA?
VF: “In 1995, I was offered an opportunity to sponsor an MMA event. That’s when I learned about and fell in love with no holds barred, or free-fight, as it was called then. In 1997, I organized my own event in Russia. The rest is history.

When did you first hear of MMA and what was your first impression? Did
you expect this sport to grow as much as it has today?

VF: “When I saw my first MMA event in 1995, I was amazed by its scale and how many people came to watch. People were genuinely interested. It was a whole other level and approach to a sports event. And I had seen a lot so I could compare empirically. I have always believed in MMA and expected it would eventually become the number one sport in the world, although back then no one would acknowledge MMA as a sport. Nostro
athletes and fight teams had a hard time. They were not even welcome in sambo gyms to train there. It was a long and a hard way to change MMA’s image that was deemed as human cock fighting or closely related to organized crime. Thanks to the fact I have never had any relations to crime, when this sport landed in my hands in late 90’s, esso
helped greatly as we were able to turn the tide and after all these years to help governments to officially recognize MMA.

What is your function and main activities within WMMAA?
VF: “I founded the World MMA Association in 2012 because I felt the time had come. MMA is the fastest growing sport and it’s time to start developing it at another level, giving it a new but essential dimension. Due to its popularity, thousands of fans of all ages started practicing in Mixed Martial Arts. At that moment, I had accumulated a vast network in multiple countries. I knew countless numbers of activists across the globe, so the start was destined to happen. From the get-go over 20 countries joined the WMMAA family. At this moment there are over 60 countries and counting.

How would you assess WMMAA’s progress during its three year existence?
VF: “WMMAA is still in its infancy. Sì, we lack experience and financing, and MMA is a new kind of sport in many regions. But I have to say that we’re growing and the last World Championship in Czech Republic proved it. Al di sopra di 40 national teams flew to Prague with over 200 atleti. The level of competition evolved so much. The organizational level was also high and we are thankful to our Czech MMA Federation for its great work. This World Championship proved there is demand for MMA around the world.

What are the main goals of WMMAA and what are the main obstacles facing
the association?
VF: “The goals are to encourage as many countries as possible to join the WMMAA
famiglia, to facilitate them in their struggle to get MMA recognized in their respective countries, helping them develop amateur MMA. There are countless obstacles but I firmly believe we’ll prevail.

Were there any countries that stood out or surprised you?
VF: “China surprised me a lot. They joined WMMAA recently but since then they’ve shown solid results. Anche, I enjoyed the performance of Latin American teams. It was their debut but one Colombian kid (Andrey Roa Ruiz Dumar) won a bronze medal and that was great.
Di nuovo, Russia won the majority of the medals due to amateur MMA there developing with extremely rapid strides ever since early 2012. Fedor Emelianenko is the main locomotive and driving force in Russia. The selection process there is just unbelievable. You can’t imagine how many steps one needs to make in order to become the champion of the Russian Federation. The City Championship, Oblast Championship, regional and national championship. Each of these events consists of at least three fights, which means that a Russian champion will probably have had at least won 15 fights under his belt by the time of the European or World Championships. Only truly the best get to the top. Imagine this: around 7,000 athletes participated in the aforementioned events in 2015.

What are the 2016 mid-term goals for WMMAA?
VF: “The normal routine is to hold the Asian Championship, Pan-American Championship, multiple referee and judge seminars and certifications, then prepare for the European and, consequently, the World Championship that will coincide with the annual Congress.

Can you describe what 2015 was like for WMMAA?
VF: “I was amazed with the Asian Championship in Tajikistan with thousands and thousands of fans at the stacked football stadium. I enjoyed watching how many people turned their eyes to an amateur MMA event.

What words of wisdom would you like to share with the members of WMMAA family?
VF: “I’d ask all WMMAA members to adhere to the agreements and decisions we reached collectively. It pertains to the set of rules, judging process, attrezzature, unified rules, and youth sports development.
WMMAA keeps expanding, tuttavia, there are still multiple countries that are not yet WMMAA members. Why should any local Federation apply for WMMAA membership?
VF: “WMMAA is the strongest MMA organization there is. We plan to continuously hold regional and world championships and keep developing and evolving. Atleti’ ethical upbringing is also our target. We believe this sport can give so much to the world in various ways and we put a lot of effort into its development. We’ll gladly accept strong and worthy partners into our ranks.
We are truly an amateur association, although others may think we are not. The thing is it’s rather hard to verify the real records of MMA athletes. There is no official and ubiquitous database or instance that would provide 100-percentreliable and accurate information pertaining to the amount of fights under someone’s belt. Some amateur fights might be recorded as professional and professional fights as amateur, which was the reason for us canceling the previous rule of pro fight limitation for the time being, in order to develop a new system of fighterseligibility evaluation. We are working on that as we speak.

People keep asking: why should we use SportID and SportData. Can you
explain why it is so essential?

VF: “We are an official and credible sport. Our association ought to be transparent. These databases show the data on athletes, their statistics and numbers. They show the quantitative as well as qualitative growth of mixed martial artists. They facilitate in overseeing the championships registered in SportData, helping to broadcast them. Inoltre, they contain so many functions that it would take me forever to discuss it. Just think of rankings, both individual and national, combattenti’ profiles and so on. I need to remind everyone that, based on the Congress decision, the use of and
registration in these databases are mandatory for all our members.
