Promoter A.J. Galante was happy to give Williams a second chance.
“People make mistakes in life, big or small, especially kids. I’m a firm believer in people can learn from them, and I’m big on second chances. I’m proud to be the one to give Tramaine a second chance in boxing, when not a lot of people were willing to. I sat with him, we spoke, and I saw a kid look me in the eye and I saw that he was sincere about getting back on the right track. I’m hoping by giving him a second chance, he will make the most of it, and fulfill his promise. I’m certain a big performance 30. Mai will catch the eyes of everyone in the sport, which will only lead to more opportunities for him. There is no doubt whatsoever if he can keep his life outside the ring intact, he will be a World Champion,” said Galante.

Also featured on the card will be New Haven’s Nate “The Great One” Grün (7-0, 2KOs) as he takes on tough veteran spoiler Timur Shailezov (17-9-1, 4KO) from Kyrgyzstan, currently residing in Philadelphia, PA
Galante made clear that he has not signed Williams, Grün, or any boxer for that matter to promotional contracts, but he noted there are requirements to fighting under Prize Promotions, “My vision is to give guys opportunities that could springboard them to bigger and better things. I’m looking to actually promote the sport the old fashioned way, and put together exciting 50-50 matchups. I think anyone who fights on my card should be recognized as a throwback fighter, and someone that wants to really become great. My matchmakers Russell Peltz, Brittany Rogers and I have not put any soft matches together. Fans can look at this lineup, and realize it’s nearly impossible for there to be an upset, because all these bouts, top to bottom, are equally matched. Everyone fighting on 30. Mai understood from the start that they have to fight tough competition, because in the end, it will only bring the best out of them and they will actually grow as a boxer from their matches. Plus the fans deserve it.”

Shorey is a fitting choice to face the native Ontarian on the patriotic-themed event. A 2000 graduate of Foxcroft Academy in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, where he won a Class-C state wrestling title in 1998, Shorey is a veteran of the United States Navy. He served four years of active duty in the branch, and did a tour of Iraq as a member of SEABEE Battalion NMCB 27.
Currently the head coach of the Shatterproof Combat Club, Shorey is coming off a victory over John Raio (2-7) letzten Monat auf “NEF XVII.” The win gave Shorey the upper hand in the three-fight rivalry between the two athletes dating back to their amateur days. While he has gotten off to a good start to his professional career, Shorey will be the first to admit he has more work to do, and the upcoming battle with DiChiara will be a real test of his skills, especially on the mat.
“It is truly an honor to fight in front of the NEF fans and represent this rapidly growing brand against a very dangerous opponent,” Said Shorey. “I feel that I still have a lot to prove to the fans, as well as myself in regards to the fighter I’m becoming, and distancing myself from my amateur days.

I see this as an opportunity to show everyone that I’m fixing the problem, and hand a very game opponent his first loss.”

Kampf Bericht: Ozgul und Khan Sichere Titel in York Hall Thriller
Bericht: Gianluca (Fluss) Di Caro
Seien wir ehrlich, mit dem Betrag von Kolumnen zu Mayweather Pacquiao in den letzten Wochen gewidmet, Sie könnte leicht verziehen werden denken, dass es keine anderen Box-Veranstaltungen, die am Mai nahm 2nd.
Bien Sur, gab es einen weiteren Kampf-Karte, und ich freue mich zu sagen, dass ich zu dieser Veranstaltung war - die Mark Lyon und Billy James-Elliott gefördert Lords des Ring Event im legendären York Hall in London.
OK, zugegebenermaßen York Hall in Bethnal Green nirgends haben in der Nähe der Gütesiegel des Seins in einem solchen Mega-Kampf im MGM Grand in Las Vegas, aber wenn es um die Dramatik und Spannung kommt, bedauern, dass Sie einfach nicht zu schlagen kleine Halle Boxen, vor allem, wenn es an der York Hall.
Wenn die Veranstaltung wurde bekannt, dass es aufgrund der vierzehn Kämpfe Feature wurde, aber sofort nach der Mai-Pac wurde bekannt gegeben, eine erhebliche Zahl der Anfälle wurden abgesagt, wie die Kämpfer wollten am Ring in Las Vegas sein, dann in den abschließenden Aufbau weiterer Kämpfe waren von der Karte, aufgrund von Verletzungen, Verlassen eines Seven Card Kampf Show in der Nacht, oder war es.
Die Karte wurde weiter am Tag reduziert, nach einem der Kämpfe wurde aus Sicherheitsgründen abgesagt - wegen einer 5 kg Unterschied im Gewicht zwischen den beiden Kämpfern Debüt - und als ob das nicht schon schlimm genug, Manny Muhammad Gegner, Rafael Schnee konnte nicht auftauchen, so dass nur fünf Kämpfe in der Nacht.
First up wurde ein sechs Allrounder zwischen Liverpool basierend russische heiße Aussicht David Agadzhanyan, gegen die Tschechische Republik Josef Redlich, , die in letzter Minute trat, um den Kampf zu retten, Folgende Ghanas Isaac Owusu gezwungen, wegen Krankheit herausziehen.
Es dauerte Agadzhanyan nur 45 Sekunden, um Redlich auf die Leinwand zum ersten Mal und etwa die gleiche wieder zu senden, um ihn ein zweites Mal gestellt.
Redlich war deutlich deklassiert so keine Überraschung, dass die Schiedsrichter Ken Curtis als er ging zum dritten Mal beschlossen, ein Ende zu Verfahren über die 2 Minuten und 25 Sekunden Marke nennen.
Ich habe Agadzhanyan in Aktion gesehen ein paar Mal, einschließlich der hervorragenden Sieg gegen ungeschlagenen Daniel Bazo dann im März, so war sehr gespannt, um ihn zu sehen in Aktion gegen Owusu, eine harte kompromisslose ehemalige ghanaische Meister und Commonwealth-Titel-Eliminator challenger, aber das wird noch bis Ende des Monats warten, wenn das neu geplant Kampf in Liverpool stattfindet,.
Als nächstes stand WBF Inter-Continental-Champion Paul Economides, in einem nicht-Meisterschaft sechs Allrounder, gegen ein anderes Ende Ersatz, Der Tschechischen Republik Petr Gyna, Folgende ehemalige britische Champ Andy Bell out vor Ziehen der Woche und dann die Original-Ersatz nur zwei Tage Herausziehen vor der Show.
Economides ist eine andere Klasse handeln, so kein Wunder, dass Gyna war auf der Leinwand innerhalb von nur 30 Sekunden, auf der Neustart Gyna entschieden, dass Angriff ist die beste Verteidigung, aber in den Kampf in Economides er direkt in die Hände gespielt, wörtlich Economides bestrafte ihn mit einem großen rechten, dass die Tschechische zum zweiten und letzten Mal gesendet auf der Leinwand, auf der einen Minute und 25 Sekunden Marke.
Sowohl mit der Öffnung Kämpfe Finishing frühen und der Live-Fernsehübertragung die erst beginnen 9pm, die Promotoren hatte keine andere Wahl, als ziemlich langen Pause vor dem nächsten Kampf haben, ein sechs runde Halbschwergewicht Kampf zwischen Champions TKO ungeschlagen Hackney lebenden türkischen Aussicht Onder Ozgul und der Entertainer selbst Jody Meikle.
Im Laufe der ersten vier Runden Ozgul ging einfach Meikle unten, lassen RIP mit massiven rechten Hand bei jeder denkbaren Gelegenheit, Meikle ist so schwer, wie sie kommen und schien zufrieden zu absorbieren die Strafe durch den Mann genannt 'Little Mike "von den türkischen Fans aufgetischt.
Immer der Joker, Meikle spielte die Strafe, die er vor sich ging, glücklich zu spielen, um die Menge, als auch ärgerlich sein Gegner, durch Ziehen Gesichter und einschmeichelnd, dass es keine Macht in den türkischen Jungs Schüsse, aber die Tatsache, dass Meikle hatte sich seine Possen getönten, zeigten deutlich, dass Ozgul Schüsse tatsächlich die gewünschte Wirkung.
Meikle abgeschwächt die Verspieltheit seine Taktik noch weiter in der fünften, wie Ozgul trat seine Angriffe, indem noch mehr Macht in seinen Aufnahmen.
Von Beginn des sechsten war klar, dass Ozgul war darauf bedacht, zu bestrafen Meikle weiter, Sichern Sie die Scunthorpe Mann auf die Seile vor lassen RIP mit großem Doppel handed Treiben, von denen eine, ein Knacken Körperfoto, buchstäblich klopft den Wind aus Meikle und zwang ihn auf die Knie nehmen.
Auf dem Neustart ging Ozgul in für das Finish, diesmal ging Meikle defensive, nicht weiter zu spielen, um die Menge, um es bis zur endgültigen Glocke zu sehen.
Nach sechs höchst unterhaltsamen Runden Schiedsrichter Ken Curtis werteten den Kampf 60-53 zugunsten Ozgul.
Ich genoss den Kampf, Ich weiß, es war keine klassische, aber Junge, Junge, es war sehr unterhaltsam.
Der vierte Kampf des Abends sehen Bradford Tasif Khan in Championship Aktion zum ersten Mal, gegen Georgiens Micheil Soloninkini, für das Internationale Masters Silber Bantamgewicht.
Khan begann schnell, Boxen schön hinter seinem Jab die Bradford Mann hielt etwas erfahreneren Gegner auf den hinteren Fuß für den Großteil des Kampfes.
Durch die Zwischenbilanz Khan verlangsamt das Tempo leicht, zur gleichen Zeit, um den Druck auf Soloninkini, aber etwa auf halbem Weg durch die sechste, während einer Routine-Austausch Khan war ein wenig langsam bringen seine Handschuhe, so dass eine Öffnung für die georgische rippen mit einem großen rechten zu lassen, Khan, der auf die Leinwand geschickt.
Auf dem Neustart ging Soloninkini Voll in Angriff, Khan blieb ruhig und bekam hinter seinem Jab wieder, die georgische war gut gehypt und weiter an Tempo vorwärts zu kommen, bevor werfen riesige Bomben.
Während dieser Scharmützel vernünftig packte Khan halten, bis Schiedsrichter Lee Murtagh erteilt den Auftrag Pause. Diese Taktik funktionierte und Khan war in der Lage, seinen Kopf genug, um Steuer Runde zurück, um sich drehen zu löschen.
Khan hatte alle Hände voll für die letzten drei Runden obwohl, wie Soloninkini hatte das wenig zwischen den Zähnen und wurde viel Druck, aber Khan ist eine coole Art und schien zufrieden zu Feld des hinteren Fußes jedes Mal die georgische machte einen kräftigen Vorstoß.
Nach zehn Runden ausgezeichnete Boxen, die Richter Scorecards lesen – Ken Curtis 99-94, Obie Garnett 98-90 und Matt Hamilton 98-91, alle zu Gunsten der Tasif Khan.
Jennifer Burton, die Northern Region Sekretär des Malta Boxing Kommission, präsentiert die bekannte blaue International Masters Band auf das siegreiche Tasif Khan.
Ich muss sagen, ich genoss den Kampf, obwohl es durchaus eine für einen großen Teil der Zeit Einseitiges, seien wir ehrlich, das ist nicht eine Aussage über die Qualität der Soloninkini, wie sein Stammbaum ist gut bekannt, dieses Kind ist eine harte Nuss zu brechen, als indem er genommen Jamie Williams den Abstand bewährt, wenn sie für die Bronze Masters kämpften im März, sowie kämpften die sensationelle Charlie Edwards ein paar Wochen später, aber meiner Meinung nach die Einseitigkeit des Kampfes als auch das Ergebnis zeigt, wie gut Tasif Khan kämpfte.
Die Schlagzeile Kampf des Abends sehen einen Rückkampf zwischen Champions TKO ungeschlagen Hackney lebenden türkischen Aussicht Siar Ozgul, yep Bruder des vorgenannten Onder, gegen Nottingham Matt Scriven und dieser Zeit gab es eine Meisterschaft auf der Linie - Der MBC Internationale Weltergewicht Titel.
Wenn diese beiden ersten erkämpften, Bereits im Oktober letzten Jahres, es war ein durch und durch Krieg, Ozgul gewann aber die Runden wurden so zu schließen, es hätte eine ganz andere Folge haben.
Der Kampf begann in einer sehr ähnlichen Weise zu ihrer Oktober-Showdown, weder Mensch zu wollen, um jede Masse zugeben, aber kurz vor dem Ende der ersten Runde Ozgul loslegen mit einem massiven Recht auf Scriven Körper, der der Nottingham Mann gezwungen zu vertuschen, um die Runde zu sehen, es ist Schluss.
Der Schuss auf den Körper müssen wirklich verletzt haben Scriven als er schien mehr darauf bedacht, Verteidigung, anstatt voll auf Angriff, vom Beginn der zweiten, ein Muster, das für den Rest des Kampfes blieb.
Ozgul meisten der Lauf gemacht ganzen, Scriven jedoch mehr als während der vielen Scharmützeln, die folgte seinem eigenen gehalten, obwohl muss zugeben, er war ein wenig vorsichtiger als in der ersten Runde.
Nach zehn Runden der hervorragenden Boxen die Richter Scorecards wurden ausgelesen - Lee Murtagh und Matt Hamilton erzielte den Kampf 100-90 und Obie Garnett 100-88 alle zu Gunsten der Siar Ozgul.
This was followed by the presentation of the MBC International belt to Siar Ozgul by his fellow Champions TKO gym mate and the current MBC International Super Bantamweight Champion Marianne Marston.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed the event, especially the final three bouts, however I was a bit disappointed that some of the planned fights, such as those featuring Iain Weaver, Antonio Counihan, Mark Prince, George Hillyard and the aforementioned Marianne Marston, failed to materialize, because to my mind if they had taken place I feel this almost certainly would have been one of the best shows at York Hall this year, as it was it still was a highly enjoyable and entertaining evening of pugilistic action and a fitting prelude to the May-Pac fight, which promoters Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott arranged for the boxers, their teams and attendees of the event to watch live via satellite at a private function room.
