Omar Douglas takes on former world title challenger Daniel Attah in main event plus undefeated, Christopher Brooker, Earl Newman, Stephan Shaw, Adam Kownacki, Stephen Fulton, Jovontae Starks og Raynell Williams
Chester, PA (April 24, 2015)–I MORGEN AFTEN!!, April 25, boksning vender tilbage til Harrahs Philadelphia with a terrific card promoted by King’s Promotions and XFE.



I main event, ubesejret letvægts Omar Douglas will see action in an six-round bout when he now fights former world title challenger Daniel Attah (28-19-1, 11 KO s) Washington, D.C.

In one of the anticipated undercard bouts, ubesejret letvægts Angel Ocasio (7-0-2, 2 KO s) will take on tough veteran Justin Johnson i en kamp planlagt til seks runder.

It was just over two years ago when Ocasio, considered a rising prospect in Philadelphia, was last in the ring as he stopped Esteban Rodriguez in two rounds on December 8, 2012.

“I took the time off and found the lord and got married,”sagde 25 year-old Ocasio.

“It was a much needed time off. I helped me realize that there are more important things then to just be a boxer. I know there that there other things as boxing is just temporarily. If boxing wasn’t here, I would still be the same guy. ”

Ocasio knows that he has a talent in the ring and after that hiatus, he didn’t find much problem getting back into the swing of things.

“The training aspect was not that difficult. I am good with weight and the running was good. I guess the only thing that needed time was my timing. But i got in great work with (ubesejret letvægts) Milton Santiago Jr. and it came back nicely.”

Ocasio didn’t pick an easy customer for his comeback opponent in Johnson. Johnson’s record reads just 6-7-4 but he has wins over four undefeated prospects plus respect Philly fighter Hasan Young.

“Justin is tough. He defeated four undefeated fighters and I am sure he prepares well. Just by fighting a guy with that kind of record does not win fights. He is an experienced fighter so I know it will be a good fight.”

“I look to be very active for the rest of the year. I am looking for five total fights in 2015. Maybe two more six-round bouts and my goal is to be fighting eight round fights by the end of the year. I think I am about eight fights away from being one of those television fights that will get me to the top level.”

The well-spoken Ocasio is emphatic that despite his time away, he will soon be a big name in the sport.

“Jeg er tilbage. I am coming for what’s mine. The people who have been doubting me for a long time can still get on and join the team!”

I en otte-round Bout, Javonte Starks (11-0, 7 KO s) af Minneapolis, MN. vil tage Jeremiah Wiggins (10-3-1, 5 KO s) af Newport News, VA i en weltervægt kamp..
Også i seks-runde anfald:
Kyrone Davis (6-0, 3 KO s) of Wilmintond, DE vil tage på Carlos Garcia (7-13-1, 7 KO s) of Puerto Rico in a Super Middleweight bout.
Adam Kownacki (8-0, 8 KO s) af Brooklyn, NY vil forsøge at holde sin perfekte knockout streak gang, da han kæmper Randy Easton (3-6-1, 3 KO s) af Sunbury, PA i en sværvægter kamp.
Stephen Fulton (4-0, 1 KO) af Philadelphia vil kæmpe Jamal Parram (7-10-1, 5 KO s) St. Louis, MO i et fjerlette kamp.
Tidligere US. Olympian, Raynell Williams (6-0, 3 KO s) Cleveland, OH vil square off med Alfred Hall (4-8-2, 2 KO s) af Jackson, Michigan in a lightweight bout.

THE FLYWEIGHTS WILL COMPETE FOR GOLD IN REMATCH AT NEF XVIII

Efterlad en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (April 24, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerikas nummer et regional kamp forfremmelse, vil holde sine attende blandede martial-arts (MMA) begivenhed, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” på Lørdag, Juni 13, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Tidligere i dag, the promotion announced that the inaugural NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Champion will be determined that evening when Dustin Veinott (3-3) rematches “Sleepy” Norman Fox (4-1) at the flyweight limit of 125-pounds. Veinott and Fox initially met in their double amateur debut at “NEF IX” i Biddeford, Maine nearly two years ago with Fox taking the win via first-round technical knockout (WHO).

 

Dustin Veinott, a striking coach at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) i Auburn, Maine, got off to a slow start in his MMA career, losing his first three bouts in the NEF cage. Not one to give up due to a setback, Veinott came roaring back and is currently on a three-fight win streak. Faktisk, he has defeated all three of his most recent opponents in the first round, two by submission and one by TKO. Veinott was considering retiring from the cage after his most recent victory over Dave Brown (1-3), but decided against it when the chance to fight for the flyweight title was presented. Regardless of the outcome this time around, Veinott predicts an exciting contest against Fox.

 

“This is going to be a very entertaining fight,” said Veinott of the rematch. “Don’t blink though because this fight will not go the distance – either Norman or myself will be finished during the fight. So expect a high-action fight between two guys that are at the top of their game right now.”

 

Norman Fox is undefeated in the NEF cage. The only loss of his career to date came on a fight card in Plymouth, Massachusetts on which Fox was competing for a regional title. He is currently a member of Ryan Cowette’s (2-2) MMA Athletix gym, as well as Cowette’s Victory Church ministry. Fox realizes that he and Veinott are not the same fighters who stepped into the cage for the first time on that balmy night in the summer of 2013.

 

“Normally I don’t like rematches, but Dustin and I have grown as fighters so anything can happen,” said Fox when reached for comment. “Once they lock the cage door, it’s all in God’s hands.”

 

NEF næste MMA event, “NEF XVIII: Made in America” vil stamme fra Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine juni 13, 2015. Billetter til “NEF XVIII” starter ved kun $25 og er der tilbud nu på www.TheColisee.com eller ved at ringe til Colisee box office på207.783.2009 x 525.

Bryant Jennings kæmper om verdensmesterskabet i tungvægt, og Jesse Hart kæmper på underkortet i århundredets mest forventede kamp, Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao i Las Vegas.
Bryant Jennings nyder en Sumo (Vegetarisk Seitan) Cheesesteak
Dette Lørdag, 25 april, Philadelphias egen ubesejrede amerikanske bokser, Bryant “Af-By” Jennings, (19-0, 10 KOS) tager imod Wladimir “Dr. Stål Hammer” Klitschko (63-3, 54 KOS) fra Kiev, Ukraine ved den berømte Madison Square Garden. Jennings får følgeskab af den legendariske træner Fred Jenkins og promotor Gary Shaw. “Bryant er meget fokuseret med en stærk arbejdsmoral. Vi tror, ​​at han vil forstyrre Klitschko og ser frem til “Af-By” bringer verdensmesterskabet i tungvægt tilbage til Philadelphia.” sagde Billy Creagh fra Sumo Steaks.
Jesse Hart (venstre); Sumo Steaks ejer Billy Creagh og Eugene “Cyklon” Hart

Sumo Steaks er lige så begejstret for Jesse Hart (16-0,13 KOS) og D&D Ledelsesteam (Doc Nowicki & David Price) der kæmper med Mike Jimenez (17-0,11 KOS) fra Chicago IL, på det største boksningskort i historien, Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.

Tilfældigvis i 1971, Nord-Philadelphia Joe Frazier slog Muhammad Ali og vandt verdensmesterskabet i tungvægt i Madison Square Garden, som blev kaldt “århundredets kamp.” Det var så stort, sagde ringkenderen, “Damer og herre, vi vil ikke introducere berømthederne ved ringsiden i aften, fordi alle er her i aften.”

Beliggende i det nordlige Philadelphia, hjemsted for boksemestre, Bernard Hopkins, Danny Garcia og afdøde Joe Frazier, Sumo Steaks åbnede i 2013 og blev for nylig kåret til top Cheesesteak i Philly. De har været heldige at lære både Jesse og Bryant og deres hold at kende gennem forskellige velgørenhedsarrangementer og andre aktiviteter.

Som en fighter, this diversifies my portfolio and puts me in front of a whole different audience. I have an extremely tough fighter in front of me in Paul Smith who’s looking to pull the upset, but I can’t let that happen. I have to be on my best game to turn Smith away and beat him the way I want to beat him. Som altid, I’m ready to put on a tremendous performance in front of my hometown fans and those watching on BET. This is a fight you don’t want to miss.”

 

“I cannot wait to get back in the ring and test myself against a class act like Andre Ward. I proved that I belong at the top level with my performances against Arthur Abraham and this is a challenge that I am relishing,"Sagde Smith. “Andre is a top pound-for-pound fighter and someone I respect a lot, but he has only boxed once in almost three years and I will give it everything I have got. I am fresh and confident going into this fight. It’s a massive opportunity for me and one that I took with both hands when it was offered. I have spent a lot of time boxing in the United States and I look forward to returning for this fight.”

 

Known for his strong character and integrity outside the ring and his killer instinct inside it, Andre Ward’s skill and talent were apparent early in his outstanding amateur career. He racked up every title in the books, kulminerede med en guldmedalje i lyset sværvægter division på 2004 Olympiske Lege i Athen. As the only male American boxer to claim Olympic gold since 1996, Ward sluttede den holder af Muhammad Ali, Sukker Ray Leonard og Oscar De La Hoya. Han blev professionel i december 18, 2004, scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Chris Molina at Staples Center in a fight that was televised live on HBO. He has gone on to rack up 26 more victories since then, building an ever-growing legion of fans in the process. Efter at være blevet Ring Magazine og WBA Super mellemvægt verdensmester, rising to the number two spot on the pound-for-pound list and winning the 2011 Fighter of the Year Award (ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Ring Magazine og Boksning Writers Association of America), blev det meddelt, at Ward underskrevet en eksklusiv salgsfremmende aftale med Roc Nation Sports i januar 2015, at åbne et nyt kapitel i sin storied boksning karriere. Now the Bay Area product is ready to return to the ring on Juni 20 på Oracle Arena foran hans hjemby fans i Oakland, California.

 

Paul “Real Gone Kid” Smith enters his fight against pound-for-pound star Ward coming off of two heroic performances against WBO Super Middleweight World Champion Arthur Abraham. Smith challenged the Armenian-German for his title in Kiel, Germany in September 2014 and put on the performance of his career in his world title first shot. The 32-year-old native of Liverpool was the clear winner of large parts of the fight and celebrated at the bell in front of a hushed partisan crowd that thought that Abraham had been dethroned. Smith was not expecting the wide scorecards that were read out in favor of the hometown fighter and, judging by the far-reaching outrage at the lopsided numbers, neither were the majority of the boxing world and beyond, with Smith receiving support from some of Britain’s biggest sports stars on social media. A rematch was the only possible scenario and, like a true champion, Abraham duly obliged. Smith returned to Germany in February of this year to face Abraham again, this time in Berlin, but Abraham was a different fighter the night of their second fight, successfully defending his belt against a brave challenge from Smith. Once again the judges’ were forced to give a verdict and this time a decision win by Abraham was met with no outcry of controversy. På Juni 20, “Real Gone Kid” will return to the ring and once again venture into hostile territory to take on one of boxing’s best, looking to silence the crowd.

 

Ward vs. Smith, en 12 rund Bout præsenteret af Roc Nation Sports, finder sted Lørdag, Juni 20 på Oracle Arena i Oakland, California, vil blive tv-transmitteret live på BET og streamet globalt på TIDAL.com på 10:00 PM ET/7:00 PM PT og præsenteres i samarbejde med Matchroom Sport.

‘It’s Really Happening’ Builds on Original ‘Week of Greatness’ Spot

Efterlad en kommentar


Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL)
April 23, 2015

NEW YORK, April 23, 2015 — Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL), the New York-based specialty athletic retailer, today debuted a new television spot, "It’s Really Happening,” in celebration of the highly-anticipated and long-awaited bout between champion boxers on Lørdag, Maj 2.

The new spot builds on Foot Locker’s “Week of Greatness” commercial from November 2014, which played on enduring attempts to schedule the oft-rumored mega fight, ending with Pacquiao believing that the fight was happening back then. In this newest commercial, Pacquiao’s business manager tells him that the fight really is going to happen, which at first surprises Pacquiao, then he again reacts with his signature elation made famous in the original spot.

“Our original ‘Week of Greatness’ spot with Manny Pacquiao last November was a big hit with our customers. It parodied the well-documented opposition of the fighters to agree upon a deal,” said Stacy Cunningham, Executive Vice President of Marketing for Foot Locker. “So when the two sides finally announced that a deal had been made, we saw an opportunity to follow up, tapping into the hilarity of the original spot. We are excited to launch ‘It’s Really Happening,’ as part of Foot Locker’s signature ‘Approved’ marketing platform.”

The spot was created by worldwide agency BBDO.

About Foot Locker:

Foot Locker is part of Foot Locker, Inc., a specialty athletic retailer that operates approximately 3,500 stores in 23 lande i Nordamerika, Europa, Australien, og New Zealand.
