Crowsneck Boutin, a regular on NEF MMA cards since 2012, made his professional boxing debut earlier this month on the “NEF 21” event in Lewiston. He fought Joel Bishop (0-0-2) to a draw in an exciting slugfest that had the Colisée crowd on the edge of its collective seat. Boutin, considered the underdog in that bout, expertly worked his jab to control the first two rounds of the fight. Like the Bishop match, Boutin is preparing for another war with Montella on April 23.
“Brandon is a very tough opponent,” nämnda Boutin. “He’s going to present me with many obstacles. My training is grueling and I’ll be prepared for a war.”
Brandon Montella is a 1998 graduate of Carrabec High School in North Anson, Maine. Following graduation, Montella joined the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and served until 2003 with an honorable discharge. Montella worked in construction in Virginia until 2011 when he moved with his wife to the Boston, Massachusetts area. He owns and operates The Way, LLC boxing gym in Woburn, Massachusetts.
“Coming back home from to Maine after all these years to fight in a place of such history is an amazing feeling,” said Montella. “It will bring my friends and family from the past and the present together under one roof for an awesome event.”
Montella had a very successful amateur boxing career with a final record of 14-7. I 2011, he won the prestigious Rocky Marciano Tournament. Montella went on to win the New England Golden Gloves the following year. Han blev proffs i 2015 and has won his first three bouts with two finishes.
“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.”

Breazeale was triumphant in an exciting heavyweight match up against heavyweight veteran Amir Mansour. Everything that led up to that bout was challenging for Breazeale as he had to deal with fight dates and opponents being changed and the sudden tragic
loss of his mother a few weeks before the fight. Regardless of the adversity, Breazeale chose not to postpone the fight and decided to go through with it.

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 sa.

UNBEATEN RISING CONTENDER SERGEY LIPINETS & LEVAN GHVAMICHAVA MEET IN MAIN EVENT OF PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS TOE-TO-TOE TUESDAYS ON FS1 & Boxning Champions FOX Sports på tisdag, MARS 15 FROM ROBINSON RANCHERIA RESORT & CASINO IN NICE, KALIFORNIEN
ANTOINE DOUGLAS FÖR ANSIKT AVTANDIL KHURTSIDZE I MARS 5 SHOWTIME BOXNING: SPECIAL EDITION® CO-FUNKTION
Khurtsidze ersätter den skadade Sam Soliman
Julian Williams tar Marcello Matano i 154-Pound Eliminator i Main Event of Tripleheader Live On SHOWTIME® Från Sands Bethlehem Events Center i Bethlehem, Pa.
NEW YORK (Februari. 23, 2016) - Obesegrad mellanviktareAntoine Douglas kommer att möta hårt slå Avtandil Khurtsidze i medfunktionen av SHOWTIME BOXNING: SÄRSKILD UTGÅVA® på lördag, Mars 5, leva på Showtime® (10 p.m. OCH/PT) från Sands Bethlehem Events Center i Bethlehem, Pa.
Khurtsidze (30-2-2, 20 Kos) kliver in för att möta GH3 Promotions Douglas (19-0-1, 13 Kos) i en 10-runda mellanvikt om WBO International-titeln efter Sam Soliman drog sig ur striden förra veckan med en knäskada.
Khurtsidze, av Brooklyn, N.Y.. genom Kutaisi, Georgien, har vunnit åtta raka - inklusive sex genom knockout - sedan han släppte ett kontroversiellt beslut till då obesegrad Hassan N'Dam i en kamp om den lediga tillfälliga WBA World Middleweight-titeln i Paris i 2010.
Khurtsidze var planerad att möta N’Dam i en omspel sist November 21 i Paris, men evenemanget avbröts efter det tragiska November 13 terrorattacker i Frankrike. Omkampen med den tidigare världsmästaren skulle ifrågasättas för IBF nr. 2 plats på 160 pounds.
En tryckfighter, Khurtsidze var också tänkt att slåss förra veckan på ett DiBella Entertainment Broadway Boxing-evenemang och har tränat sedan kampen med N’Dam avbröts. 36-åringen, som också har kämpat för supermedvikt, kommer efter en knockout-seger över Melvin Betancourt i augusti förra året.
“Avtandil är en kille i världsklass, en tidigare silver titlist och har varit i toppen av divisionen i flera år,” sade Lou DiBella, VD för DiBella Entertainment. “Detta är en fantastisk möjlighet för honom och ett stort steg upp för Douglas. Avtandil hade varit på väg till Frankrike för att kämpa för nr. 2 rankning mot N’Dam när de tragiska terrorattackerna drabbade Paris, vilket var en fruktansvärt olycklig situation för alla. Nu, han ser ut att imponera i denna kamp mot den högt ansedda Douglas. Vinnaren av den här matchen flyttar sig avsevärt på medelvikt i världsrankingen och kommer att vara i kö för en större kamp i 160-pund divisionen senare i år.”
I huvudevenemanget för SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader, Julian “J-Rock” Williams och en gång slagen italiensk Marcello Matano kommer att kvadrera i en 12-runda IBF eliminator för nr. 1 rankning på 154 pounds.

KEITH THURMAN SUSTAINS INJURY FORCING POSTPONEMENT OF TITLE DEFENSE AGAINST SHAWN PORTER
'Bellator 150: Galvao VS. DANTAS 2’ THIS FRIDAY – UPDATED FIGHT CARD INFORMATION
Click above for “What to Watch: Gavao vs. Dantas”
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (Februari 22, 2015) - Denna fredag, 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) vid "Bellator 150: Galvao vs.. Dantas 2.
The event emanates from the Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas this Fredag, Februari 26, and airs live on Spike at 9 p.m. OCH/8 p.m. CT, medan preliminära skjutningarna kommer strömma live på Bellator.com och Bellator Mobile App. Biljetter till "Bellator 150: Galvao vs.. Dantas 2 " som börjar på just $27, är till försäljning nu kl KansasStarEventCenter.com or Ticketmaster.com, liksom Kansas Star Arena box office.
In addition to the title fight, a heavyweight co-main event of Cheick Kongo (23-10-2) mot Vinicius Queiroz (8-3) will anchor the number two spot. Även på kortet, Kendall Grove (22-15) tar på Francisco “Kiko” France (13-3-1), hemstad favorit 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), som tar på Rebecca Ruth (5-1).
"De,"Som har kämpat för världsberömda kampanjer lik av World Extreme Cagefighting och Shooto sedan 2003, kommer att tävla för 11th tid under Bellator MMA banner. Den 34-åriga är för närvarande mitt i en fyra-kamp Winning Streak och har segrat i sju av sina åtta senaste klipp. I sin sista utflykt, Galvao avslutade Joe Warren vid "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.
Under tiden, Dantas kommer vara ute efter att kopiera framgång han hade mot Galvao i deras första möte, which resulted in a second-round knockout at “Bellator 89.” Last May, the 27-year-old Nova Uniao product dispelled of Mike Richman via enhälligt beslut på "Bellator 137: Halsey vs. Grove. " Bellator säsong 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 vid "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 vid "Bellator 143: Warren vs. Davis," i 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,"Med 12 av hans 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 detta tidigare November. Rickels always comes ready to put on a show, oavsett om det är på väg till buren, eller när han tar på en som är vem av Bellator MMA lätt talang. The 27-year-old will be making his 16thappearance 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. Nu, “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. Nu, Ovchynnikova looks to solidify herself as a top contender in the budding women’s flyweight division on Februari 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.
