2015 CLOSES WITH EXPLOSIVE ACTION ON HBO BOXING AFTER DARK® AND HBO LATINO® BOXING
BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE SABATO DIVENTA 12 ° ATTUALE CAMPIONE DEL MONDO BRITANNICO SU SHO EXTREME® DI MANCHESTER,INGHILTERRA
NEW YORK (Dicembre. 19, 2015) - Billy Joe Saunders detronizzato WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee con una decisione a maggioranza di 12 turni sabato Showtime Boxing INTERNAZIONALE da Manchester, Inghilterra.
La lotta, che è stato segnato 115-111, 114-112 e 113-113, andrà in onda stasera alle 9 p.m. E/PT su SHO EXTREME.
In un matchup di mancini tattici, un esplosivo terzo round di Saunders (23-0, 12 KO) era la differenza. Lo sfidante britannico ha battuto Lee due volte: prima con un grosso gancio destro e ancora con un contropiede giusto 30 secondi dopo - e un Lee sbalordito in qualche modo è sopravvissuto al 10-7 round. HIGHLIGHTS VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe
L'irlandese Lee (34-3-1, 24 KO) ha combattuto per tornare ed è stato il combattente più aggressivo nei round di campionato, ma non è bastato a sopperire alla partenza lenta e ai due knockdown.
Con la vittoria, Saunders è diventato il 12th attuale campione del mondo britannico.
"Sono campione del mondo,"Saunders ha detto. “Oggi ho battuto un buon campione, un buon campione robusto. Ho usato il suo potere contro di lui. Quando facevo boxe è diventato un po 'distratto e ha lasciato cadere la sua mano di piombo e l'ho preso con il gancio.
"Non inizierò a far scorrere la bocca, ma è stato un buon tiro. Con qualcuno veloce come me devi tenere le mani in alto. Non sono il più grande pugile del mondo, ma ti ho mostrato che posso prendere a pugni. "
WBA medio campione del Mondo Daniel Jacobs, fresco di un primo turno ad eliminazione diretta di Peter Quillin due settimane fa su SHOWTIME, era un analista ospite il Sabato Da New York.
“Ho pensato che sarebbe stato un grande attaccabrighe, Pensavo avesse risorse migliori,"Jacobs ha detto di Lee. "Non ha fatto abbastanza per me. Era troppo compiacente e dopo l'atterramento non hai visto quel senso di urgenza che deve avere un combattente sulla pista del ritorno.
“Tutto il merito è dovuto a Billy Joe, ma non è stata una vittoria impressionante. "
Dopo aver visto il combattimento, Jacobs non era pronto a impegnarsi per una resa dei conti dell'unificazione in 2016 con il vincitore.
"Faremo tutto ciò che ha senso,"Ha detto Jacobs. "Penso che sia ora di sedersi e capire cosa ha senso. Ovviamente è un buon momento per essere un campione dei pesi medi. "

DARRION CALDWELL SET FOR ‘BELLATOR MMA 151’ MAIN EVENT DEBUT AGAINST JOE WARREN AT WINSTAR WORLD CASINO & RESORT ON MARCH 4
SANTA MONICA, CALIF. (Dicembre 18, 2015) – The main event of Bellator MMA’s return to WinStar World Casino & Resort in Thackerville, OK., su Marzo 4 will feature undefeated Darrion Caldwell (8-0) challenging former two-division world champion and the self-proclaimed “Baddest Man on the Planet” Joe Warren (13-4).

You can purchase tickets at the WinStar World Casino and Resort Box Office, as well as Ticketmaster.com and Bellator.com.

With five impressive outings in a little over a year and a half under the Bellator MMA umbrella, it was only a matter of time before “The Wolf” found himself in a position to compete for a world title. There is still work to be done though, and the next stop on the road to championship gold goes through a man who has held Marcos Galvao’s belt already. A standout on the wrestling team at NC State University, the 27-year-old Caldwell most recently submitted Shawn Bunch via rear-naked choke in the first frame, adding to his tally of finishes (4). Initially a featherweight, Caldwell looks much more comfortable now at 135-pounds and as he proclaimed during a recent interview, “I foresee myself competing against Joe [Conigliera] with a No. 1 contender shot on the line, sooner rather than later.”
Warren has done just about it all under the Bellator MMA banner, winning titles at featherweight and bantamweight during his nearly six year promotional tenure. Ora, Warren has his sights set on another run with the 135-pound title, a belt he lost during an intense encounter with Galvao early in 2015. La 2006 Pan American and World Champion in Greco-Roman competition, the 39-year-old will test himself against a young competitor who excels in the same skillset that Warren has used to his advantage for most of his career, lotta. Will a win for “The Baddest Man on the Planet” propel him to a title shot against the winner of Galvao-Dantas 2 a week prior? Tune into SPIKE on Marzo 4 to find out.

Aptly nicknamed “The Cutt,” the 27-year-old Honeycutt is a two-time NCAA Division I All-American wrestler out of Edinboro University. Following his collegiate wrestling career, which ended with a runner-up finish in the 2012 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship, Honeycutt enlisted the help of fellow Edinboro wrestler Josh Koscheck, who he now trains with at the longtime MMA veteran’s Dethrone Base Camp in Fresno.
Honeycutt made his Bellator MMA debut in September 2014, scoring a TKO victory over Aaron Wilkinson. He picked up his second win for the promotion at "Bellator 133: Manhoef vs. Shlemenko,” scoring a TKO win over Clayton MacFarlane.
The 32-year-old Bradley is an Iowa native who also earned a pair of NCAA Division I All-American honors while competing at the famed University of Iowa. Bradley turned to mixed martial arts in 2006 and earned 11 consecutive victories to open his career, picking up the Ring of Combat middleweight title along the way.
Bradley made his way to the Bellator MMA cage in 2013, and in four appearances to date, has already picked up decision victories over Josh Neer and Karl Amoussou. While Bradley’s base is firmly in wrestling, he’s developed into a complete martial artist during his time in the sport and owns seven of his career wins by knockout with another seven coming by way of submission.

FLYWEIGHT SCRAP PROMISES EXCITEMENT AT NEF 21
Lewiston, Maine (Dicembre 17, 2015) - Combattimenti New England (NEF), Numero uno di promozione lotta regionale dell'America, terrà la sua prossimo evento, “NEF 21: Gli immortali” su Sabato, Febbraio 6, 2016 al Androscoggin Bank Colisée a Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Proprio oggi, NEF announced the addition of a professional flyweight bout to the “NEF 21” carta di lotta. “Assonnato” Norman Fox (0-0) farà il suo debutto pro contro Brandon Warne (0-1) con un peso lotta di 125 libbre.
Fox put together an impressive 4-2 record come un dilettante, starting his career in the NEF cage in the summer of 2013. He won his first four in the NEF cage, all via stoppage prior to losing his bid to become NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Champion to Dustin Veinott (4-4) lo scorso giugno. The back-and-forth battle with Veinott ended in a split decision, and it has been nominated for “2015 NEF Fight of the Year.” Later in 2015, Fox and teammate Jason Lachance (2-3) purchased the MMA Athletix gym in Bath, Maine from their former coach, Ryan Cowette (2-3). The upcoming bout with Warne will be the first of a multi-fight developmental deal Fox signed recently with NEF.
“Brandon and I seem like a pretty even match up,” ha detto Fox. “Expect a fast-paced fight that could end at any moment.”
Brandon Warne is a member of Team Bombsquad based out of Ithaca, New York. He excelled in the amateur ranks of the sport, accumulando un record di 5-1 with three finishes. Warne made his professional MMA debut this past October in Rhode Island in a losing effort to David Baxter (2-0). He comes to Maine looking for his first win as a pro against Fox.
“It’s an honor to be coming to Maine and put on a show at what I love in front of the NEF crowd,” said Warne. “Di Più, it’ll be my parents first time back in Maine since their honeymoon. As for the fight, I’m not much for trash talking. Fighters fight and that’s I’m coming to do!”
