“As far as my opponent Crowsneck Boutin, I have seen his fights and read his back story,” Montella continued. “What I see is a man like myself – someone who is determined to change his life and take matters into his own hands instead of sitting around like too many men do today. When two men as determined as we are get in the ring in front of a large crowd, magic happens. We grow larger than life and the fans get one hell of a treat.”

I have fought tougher opposition than all the current world champions did when they had their first 17 fights and I know I’m ready to challenge any one of them right now. Every bout I have had, I have learned from and I continue to learn everyday in the gym with my trainer Manny Robles. I’m ready for whatever my adviser Al Haymon has next for me and I always tell him I want to fight the best,” Breazeale gesê.

UNBEATEN RISING CONTENDER SERGEY LIPINETS & LEVAN GHVAMICHAVA MEET IN MAIN EVENT OF PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS TOE-TO-TOE TUESDAYS ON FS1 & Boxing Champions FOX SPORTS OP Dinsdag, MAART 15 FROM ROBINSON RANCHERIA RESORT & CASINO IN NICE, CALIFORNIA
ANTOINE DOUGLAS TO FACE AVTANDIL KHURTSIDZE IN MARCH 5 SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION® CO-FEATURE
Khurtsidze Replaces The Injured Sam Soliman
Julian Williams Takes On Marcello Matano In 154-Pound Eliminator In Main Event Of Tripleheader Live On SHOWTIME® From Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Pa.
NEW YORK (Februarie. 23, 2016) – Undefeated middleweight contenderAntoine Douglas will face hard-hitting Avtandil Khurtsidze in the co-feature of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION® Saterdag, Maart 5, woon op Showtime® (10 namiddag. EN/PT) from Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Pa.
Khurtsidze (30-2-2, 20 Uitklophoue) steps in to face GH3 Promotions’ Douglas (19-0-1, 13 Uitklophoue) in a 10-round middleweight bout for the WBO International title after Sam Soliman pulled out of the fight last week with a knee injury.
Khurtsidze, van Brooklyn, N.Y.. by way of Kutaisi, Georgia, has won eight straight – including six by knockout – since dropping a controversial decision to then-unbeaten Hassan N'Dam in a bout for the vacant interim WBA World Middleweight Title in Paris in 2010.
Khurtsidze was scheduled to face N’Dam in a rematch last November 21 in Parys, but the event was cancelled following the tragic November 13 terror attacks in France. The rematch with the former world champion was to be contested for the IBF No. 2 spot at 160 pond.
A pressure fighter, Khurtsidze was also slated to fight last week on a DiBella Entertainment Broadway Boxing event and has been training since the fight with N’Dam was called off. Die 36-jarige, who has also campaigned at super middleweight, is coming off a knockout victory over Melvin Betancourt last August.
“Avtandil is a world class guy, a former silver titlist and has been at the top of the division for years,” gesê Lou DiBella, President van DiBella Vermaak. “This is a great opportunity for him and a huge step up for Douglas. Avtandil had been on his way to France to fight for the No. 2 ranking against N’Dam when the tragic terrorist attacks hit Paris, which was a terribly unfortunate situation for all. Nou, he looks to impress in this fight against the highly regarded Douglas. The winner of this bout moves up significantly in the middleweight world rankings and will be in line for a major fight in the 160-pound division later this year.”
In the main event of the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader, Julian “J-Rock” Williams and once-beaten Italian Marcello Matano will square off in a 12-round IBF eliminator for the No. 1 ranking at 154 pond. In die opening bout van die beeldsending, hard-hitting prospect Tony Harrison will face veteran former world title challenger Fernando Guerrero in 'n 10-round super welterweight wedstryd.

Click above for “What to Watch: Gavao vs. Dantas”
SANTA MONICA, Kalifornië. (Februarie 22, 2015) - Vrydag, Bellator MMA brings a world championship matchup between two highly skilled mixed martial arts practitioners when bantamweight champion Marcos "Loro" Galvao (17-6-1) defends his strap against former champion and former friend and training partner, Eduardo "Dudu" Dantas (17-4) op "Bellator 150: Galvao vs..

Dantas 2 " wat begin by net $27, is nou te koop by KansasStarEventCenter.com or Ticketmaster.com, sowel as die Kansas Star Arena loket.
In addition to the title fight, a heavyweight co-main event of Cheick Kongo (23-10-2) teen Vinicius Queiroz (8-3) will anchor the number two spot. Ook op die kaart, Kendall Grove (22-15) neem op Francisco “Kiko” France (13-3-1), tuisdorp gunsteling David Rickels (16-4, 1 NC) will return to action against Bobby Cooper (12-5), plus the Bellator MMA debut of newly signed women’s flyweight Lena Ovchynnikova (10-3), wat op neem Rebecca Ruth (5-1).
"Hulle,"Wie het geveg vir die wêreld-bekende promosies die hou van Wêreld Extreme Cage Fighting en Shooto sedert 2003, sal meeding vir die 11ste tyd onder die vaandel Bellator MMA. Die 34-jarige is tans in die middel van 'n vier-stryd segetog en het oorwin vore gekom in sewe van sy laaste agt stukkies. In sy laaste uitstappie, Galvao klaar Joe Warren by "Bellator 135: Warren vs. Galvao " via submission to win his first-ever championship and fulfil a promise he made to his mother before her unfortunate passing.
Intussen, Dantas sal kyk na die sukses wat hy teen Galvao het dupliseer in hul eerste vergadering, which resulted in a second-round knockout at “Bellator 89.” Last May, the 27-year-old Nova Uniao product dispelled of Mike Richman via 'n eenparige besluit op "Bellator 137: Halsey vs. Grove. " Die Bellator seisoen 5 Bantamweight Tournament winner is looking to become a two-time bantamweight champion come Oktober 23.
Kongo will be making his eighth appearance under the Bellator MMA banner, looking to add to his impressive promotional mark of 5-2. The Parisian native has fought a who’s who in the mixed martial arts landscape, with notable wins against Mirko Cro Cop, Pat Barry, Matt Mitrione, and Alexander Volkov already on his record. In his last outing – which just so happened to be inside the Kansas Star Arena — Kongo impressively defeated Volkov via unanimous decision.
After nearly two years out of action, Queiroz returned to the Bellator MMA cage against Ewerton Teixeira by "Bellator 139: Kongo vs. Volkov," defeating his fellow Brazilian opponent via second round arm-triangle choke. “Spartan” hopes to plant the seeds for a busy 2016 with the matchup against Kongo, where a win can undoubtedly place him in the midst of the heavyweight title picture.
Grove capped off 2015 with an emphatic knockout of Joey Beltran by "Bellator 143: Warren vs. Davis," in September. The winner of“The Ultimate Fighter: 3," has fought professionally since 2003 for promotions all around the world, notably ProElite and UFC. This will be “Da Spyder’s” sixth appearance under the Bellator MMA banner as he hopes to climb back towards a 185-pound title shot – he competed for the gold last year against Brandon Halsey.
A veteran of Strikeforce, “Kiko” France has strung together a five-fight winning streak as of late, most recently handing the formerly undefeated Ben Reiter the first loss of his young career at "Bellator 146: Kato vs. Manhoef.” It’s safe to classify the 33-year-old Arizona native as a “submission specialist,"Met 12 van sy 13 wins as a professional coming by way of making his opponent tap.
A Bellator MMA event in Mulvane, Kansas just wouldn’t be the same without “The Caveman,” who will return to action for the first time since competing against Michael Chandler die afgelope November. Rickels always comes ready to put on a show, of dit nou op sy pad na die hok, of wanneer hy neem op 'n wie's wie van Bellator MMA liggewig talent. The 27-year-old will be making his 16steappearance under the promotional banner.
The last time Bobby Cooper fought inside the Kansas Star Arena, he took home a closely contested split decision victory over“Bellator 147” co-headliner Pablo Villaseca. Nou, “Super Duper” will look to move to 3-0 under the Bellator MMA banner when he faces Rickels in hostile territory. It’s worth noting that the Missouri native has only lost twice in his last eight MMA appearances.
Hailing from Ukraine, Ovchynnikova will enter the fray fresh off a new exclusive, multi-fight contract with Bellator MMA. “Hunter” has previously fought the likes of Joanne Calderwood and at only 28-years-old has already competed professionally since 2006. Nou, Ovchynnikova looks to solidify herself as a top contender in the budding women’s flyweight division on Februarie 26 against a tough foe in Ruth.
“Becky” Ruth was undefeated in 2015, winning all three of her matchups by technical knockout under the Shamrock Fighting Championships banner. The lone loss on the Missouri native’s record came against Resurrection Fighting Alliance champion Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger, via controversial split decision.
