Middengewicht FIGHT gepland voor juni 13 Heeft een geschiedenis

Laat een reactie achter

Lewiston, Maine (April 20, 2015) – When Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) makes his professional debut on Juni 13, 2015 op de Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, it will be just days shy of the three-year anniversary of his amateur debut in the very same building. On that warm, late-spring evening in 2012, a crowd of more than 3,000 had assembled to witness the Maine debut of former UFC World Heavyweight Champion Tim “De Maine-iac” Sylvia (31-10) at New England Fights’ (NEF) third mixed-martial-arts (MMA) evenement. Earlier that night, on the amateur portion card, Boutin was in action against Brent “Frosty” Dillingham (1-1). Dillingham won via technical knockout (WHO) in de eerste ronde. That was not the end of the action, echter, as Boutin and Dillingham exchanged in a heated post-fight confrontation, having to be separated by officials.

 

The bad blood has continued over the course of the past three years, with occasional barbs being hurled by both sides on social media. Boutin’s opponent on Juni 13 will be none other than Dillingham’s coach at MMA Athletix, “De Junkyard Dog” Ryan Cowette (2-2). When he met Dillingham, Boutin was an independent fighter with no formal training in the martial arts. In the months that followed, Boutin would join the Choi Institute of Portland, Maine and transform himself into a prolific striker. Boutin is clear that the fighter who will step in the cage on Juni 13 opposite Cowette is not the same undisciplined street fighter who lost to Dillingham three years ago.

 

“As an amateur with zero days in a gym, I debuted against MMA Athletix,” recalled Boutin of his amateur debut. “Fast forward three years later, three years straight at the Choi Institute. Here is your throat back, thanks for the loan.”

 

Not only is Cowette the head of MMA Athletix, but he is also the founder and pastor of Victory Church in Bath, Maine. Having suffered a major disappointment when his opponent backed out of their scheduled bout during fight week of “NEF XVII” eerder deze maand, Cowette is optimistic in regards to the Juni 13 fight with Boutin.

 

“This should be a great fight for the fans,” Said Cowette. “We both show up to fight and put on a show. I’m looking to push forward in the 185-pound division. Crowsneck will be a good test. I’m thankful for the opportunities NEF gives me.”

 

NEF's volgende MMA event, “NEF XVIII: Made in America” will originate from the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine on June 13, 2015.

Hogan Outworks Brunson on CBS Sports Network Night of Boxing

Laat een reactie achter


Photos by Jesse Kelley

Australia via Kildare, Ierland WBA #12- en IBF # 11-rated “Orkaan” Dennis Hogan (21-0-1, 7 KO) cruised to an entertaining and workmanlike 10-round decision over Philadelphia’s Tyrone “Young Gun” Brunson (22-5-1, 21 KO) vanavond, in het main event van “Championship Boxing op CBS Sports Network” at the Grand Casino Hinckley in Hinckley, Minnesota.

Fighting in front of an appreciative sold-out crowd, Hogan outworked the careful Brunson in the majority of rounds to win by scores of 96-94, 98-92 en 97-93 and in the process, picked up the World Boxing Association’s NABA-US Super Welterweight Championship.

Hogan closed the show well and seemed to hurt Brunson with a series of clubbing shots. But Brunson was able to survive the onslaught.

Brunson, who seems to have morphed into a counter puncher since his days as the King of the KO 1 earlier in his career, had a good round eight and seemed to hurt Hogan with a right. He kept it interesting throughout by catching Hogan coming in with right hands.

Gepresenteerd door Greg Cohen Promotions in samenwerking met Adam Wilcocks Fight Card Promotions en geproduceerd door David Schuster's Winner Take All Productions “Championship Boxing op CBS Sports Network” was the debut CBS-televised effort from the promotional team.

Several thudding knockouts punctuated the rest of the night’s action.

In de nacht van de co-main event, lightweight slugger Ismael Barroso made quick work of Memphis, Tennessee veteran Ira Terry, knocking him out inside of a round.

The southpaw Barroso, van El Tigre, Venezuela, moved his record to 18-0-2, 17 KOs by flattening Terry (nu 26-14, 16 KO) with a devastating left hand. Barroso’s reputation seems to grow with every frightening performance. Terry tried moving to his left and being elusive, but it only took one shot from Barroso’s cement fists. Referee Mark Nelson began a count when Terry went down, but quickly waved it off at 2:49.

In het tv-opener, Saint Paul, Minnesota, middleweight prospect Rob “Goed Gedaan” Brant (15-0, 9 KO)made surprisingly easy work of Miami via Colombia’s Dionisio Miranda (22-11-2, 19 KO), dropping him for the full count at 2:40 van de tweede ronde.

Brant showed superior quickness while landing his rangy shots form outside. A right hand started the trouble for the normally durable Miranda. The follow-up volley forced Miranda down and he elected, probably wisely, not to rise. The crowd-favorite Brant remains undefeated and now has a KO win over a quality mid-level opponent on his resume.

In what turned out to be a televised swing bout, American heavyweight prospect Jarrell “Big Baby” Molenaar, van Brooklyn, New York, moved his impressive record to 12-0-1, 10 KOs by knocking out Nairobi, Kenya’s Raymond “King Kong” Ochieng (26-19-3, 21 KO) bij 1:40of the very first round.

Miller placed his heavy, accurate shots inside the wild swings of the game Ochieng and caught him with a strong combination against the ropes. Ochieng went down and referee Gary Miezwa waved it off without counting, probably prematurely.

Niettemin, the charismatic Miller looked like a solid prospect taking out a useful veteran in Ochieng, who had gone 10 rounds with Alexander Petkovic in his last fight and handed 36-1 David Rodriguez a TKO 1 loss last July.

San Antonio, Texas, super bantamweight Adam “Mantequilla” Lopez (11-0, 6 KO) furthered his reputation as an up-and-coming prospect by levelling Saint Paul, Minnesota’s Philip Adyaka (4-5, 2 KO) with a monstrous left hook at 58 seconds of round two. 24-year-old Lopez was too big and too powerful for the smaller Adyaka. Lopez impressed, showing off his world-class weaponry while banging to the head and body, especially with the left hook. Adyaka bravely tried to rise, but stumbled back into the ropes and the fight was waved off.

In a six-round heavyweight match-up, fan favorite Joey “Minnesota Ice” Een bel (30-8, 29 KO) of nearby Coon Rapids, Minnesota, started his comeback by stopping journeyman Travis “IJzeren Man” Fulton (22-39-1, 21 KO) van Cedar Falls, Iowa in three rounds. Out of the ring for more than a year, the southpaw Abell finally shook off the rust and got through with a volley of punches against the ropes, which badly stunned Fulton. The came at 34 seconds with Fulton dazed but still standing. I’m starting over. I want to get a couple wins and hopefully get a big fight here,” said Abell, post-fight. Helaas, Abell slipped awkwardly in the first round and reportedly suffered a serious ankle injury.

In a four-round, all-Minneapolis super heavyweight showdown to open the night, 316-lb Van “De Man” Goede man, nu 4-5-2, 4 KO, picked up a good win over299-pond Brett Murphy, nu 1-1, 1 KO via TKO 2. Murphy was down in round one and twice more in round two. A tidy left uppercut was the finishing shot. Het moment van de onderbreking was 1:38.

VERONA, NEW YORK (April 18) -Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York was treated to a historic sold out match-up between two of the most exciting gladiators in boxing as Lucas “La Maqina”” Matthysse (37-3, 34 KO's) took a majority decision victory over “De Siberische Rocky” Ruslan Provodnikov (24-4, 17 KO's) in a 12-round junior welterweight bout on the split-site doubleheader on HBO Boxing After Dark ®.

Georganiseerd door Banner Promotions en Golden Boy Promotions, & Arano Box Promotions the action packed night showcased two athletes fighting in the prime of their careers, with a title shot in the 140-pound division likely hanging in the horizon.

Provodnikov was cut badly in round two from an accidental headbutt. Matthysse targeted the eye but Provodnikov walked through every shot. Provodnikov came back later in the round with some solid combinations and landed some furious shots to Matthysse’s head. Matthysse had a nice bounce back round five as he landed some hard jabs to the face of an oncoming Provodnikov.

The war continued through the middle rounds as both fighters went toe to toe while Matthysse landed combinations from distance and Provodnikov went on the offensive and continued to brawl. Provodikov had a strong round eleven as he landed a hard left to the top of the head that buckled Matthysse and the Argentinian was forced to hold on. The two waged a final flurry in round twelve and it was Matthysse the former WBC champion won via majority decision with scores of 115-113 tweemaal en 114-114.

“I think I dominated the fight, I knew I had the best hits,” Sa'id Lucas Matthysse. “Ruslan is a tough fighter, he took everything I threw at him. Ik heb veel respect voor hem. There was a point when I thought that they would stop the fight because of Ruslan’s cut, but his team was able to control it. I hurt my hand in the sixth round, but I kept going because I wanted to prove that I am the best in the division and that I am ready for the toughest fighters. I want to move forward and fight the winner of Mayweather-Pacquiao.”

“He is the hardest puncher I have ever fought but I fight as hard as I can to the very end,” Said Provodnikov. “I never want the fight stopped. The only time would be when I am on my back.”

Going on before the live split-site HBO Boxing After Dark doubleheader, Patrick Teixeira(25-0, 21 KO) of Santa Catarina, Brazil faced off against Accra, Georgia’s Patrick Allotey (30-2, 24 KO) in a scheduled 10-round middleweight bout. Both fighters came at each other aggressively in the first round in an exciting exchange of hard punches. Teixeria put an end to the fight in the second round as he delivered a devastating blow to Allotey’s body knocking him down to win the fight via knockout.

“I am very happy and feel emotional about my first fight with Golden Boy Promotions,” said Patrick Teixeira. “I wanted to make sure I impressed them in my first fight, so I trained very hard to make sure I went the full 10 ronde. But I am very excited I got the knockout.”

Vitaly Kopylenko (25-1, 14 KO's) won an eight round unanimous decision over Lekan Byfield (6-8-2, 1 KO) in een middengewicht bout. Kopylenko knocked down Byfield twice on punches that staggered the Atlanta native into the ropes. Kopylenko cruise down the stretch of the fight to win via unanimous decision with a score of 79-72.

“I hurt my shoulder in the first round but I was able to gut it out and land some good shots,” said Kopylenko.

Washington, D.C standout, Lamont Roach Jr. (7-0, 3KO) faced Carolina, Puerto Rico Jose Miguel Castro (4-3, 2 KO) in a scheduled six-round lightweight bout. Roach dominated the fight early on, winning the bout by unanimous decision.

“It was my first six-rounder,” said Lamont Roach Jr. “I think that I could have knocked him down or made him quit if I would have hit him harder in the beginning but I trained for six round and wanted to make sure I could go the distance. I did want the knockout towards the end, but I didn’t get it.”

Vitor Jones De Oliveira (9-0, 5 KO's) won a six round unanimous decision over Guillermo Sanchez (15-14-1, 6 KO) in een lichtgewicht bout. De Oiveira boxed well from the outside and countered the southpaw Sanchez nice and came home with the victory by scores of 59-55 en 58-56 tweemaal.

“Het was een goed gevecht. It took me a few rounds to get going but I am very happy with my performance and looking forward to my next fight,” said De Oliveira.

Eddie “E-Boy” Gomez (18-1, 11 KO) van The Bronx, New York started the night with a technical knockout victory over Jonathan Batista (14-6, 7 KO) of San Pedro de Marcos, Dominicaanse Republiek, when Batista could not answer the bell to start round six in their scheduled 10-round super welterweight bout.

“Ik voel me goed, I’m satisfied with the win, but I wanted to show more,” said Eddie Gomez. “I was just getting warmed up, showing my boxing and foot work skills to prove I was ready for the 12-round championship fights.”

Sidney McCow scored a first round technical knockout over Paulo Souza in a scheduled four round welterweight. McCow (3-2, 2 KO's) van New York, NY pummeled Souza until the bout was stopped at 2:55 van de eerste ronde. Souza of Somerville, Massachusetts is now 0-8.

CARSON, Calif. (April 18, 2015) – Zelfverzekerd en vastberaden, Andrzej “De PoolsePrins” Fonfara (27-3, 16 KO) verwend de ring terugkeer van Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KO) in doorslaand mode Zaterdag nacht, vloeren van de voormalige middengewicht kampioen een keer op weg naar een eenzijdige negende ronde TKO in het main event van deShowtime Championship Boxing live op SHOW TIME.

 

Fonfara, Chicago via Radon, Polen, liet Chavez, van Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico, met een brede linkse hoek 50 seconden in de negende ronde voor een luidruchtige menigte van 8,636 overwegend-Chavez fans in StubHub Center. Het was de eerste keer in 52 professionele gevechten dat Chavez het doek van een punch had geraakt.

 

Bij terugkeer naar de hoek, Chavez kon de uitzending vertellen trainer te worden gehoord Joe Goossen dat hij zijn rechterbeen had pijn en kon niet meer verder. Even later, het gevecht werd stopgezet.

Bood een extatische Fonfara, die op de plaats zijn deel van de Poolse fans hadden: “Ik wist dat hij een taaie vechter was, snel en in goede vorm, maar toen hij sloeg me voor de eerste keer in de eerste ronde, Ik wist dat ik zou gaan om deze strijd te winnen. Hij had niet zo hard slaan als iedereen zei dat hij deed.

 

“Ik zag zijn stoten gemakkelijk komen. Ik weet dat ik gooide meer stoten. Ik was een beetje verbaasd dat hij niet uit kwam voor de (10th) maar hij werd gesneden, was steeds in elkaar geslagen en had enkel werden neergeslagen, dus hij wist wat er zou gebeuren als hij naar buiten kwam.

 

“Chavez zei voor het gevecht dat hij niet dacht dat ik kon zijn lichaam stoten te nemen. Ik denk dat ik nam ze vrij goed en doorgegeven die test.

 

“Ik weet dat er zijn dingen die ik kan nog steeds werken in de opleiding tot een meer complete bokser te worden, maarvanavond was een droom die uitkomt. Ik wil een rematch met (Light Heavyweight Wereldkampioen) Adonis Stevenson.

 

Said Chavez, de zoon van de legendarische Mexicaanse icoon, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. in de ring daarna en voordat hij werd meegenomen naar het ziekenhuis als een voorzorgsmaatregel, “Kan zijn 170,172 pond is te groot voor mij, misschien zal ik weer naar beneden gaan. Ik weet niet zeker wat mijn toekomst in petto heeft. Het was een zeer zware strijd. Maar ik feliciteer Andrzej.”

Kasteel, die zag een negen-fight winning streak tot een einde gekomen, zei “Ik dacht dat ik won het gevecht. Ik heb geen krediet te krijgen voor de stoten gooide ik. De rechter die scoorde hij 100-90; goed, dat geeft me geen kans om hier te winnen. De cut stoorde me in de eerste ronden, maar was geen factor na.”

 

Vroeger Zaterdag, op Showtime EXTREME, ongeslagen Moises “Chucky” Bloemen (23-0, 16 KO), van Guadalajara, Mexico, veroverde de WBA Super bantamgewicht Interim World Championship met een spannende 12-round gespleten besluit over titelverdediger Oscar Escandon (24-2 16 KO), van Tolima, Colombia.

Een emotionele Flores was de buurt tranen later. “Dit is een droom die uitkomt – meer dan een droom die uitkomt – voor mij,” he said. “Ik zag mijn familie op het strand, het eten van vlees. Ik zag mijn baby's beter gekleed. Voor mij is dit een levensveranderende overwinning en, ja, Ik vond het erg, heel dichtbij, maar ik absoluut het gevoel dat ik gewonnen.

 

“Ik wil de beste volgende bestrijden, de top jongens op 122 pond en nu de top kerel is Leo Santa Cruz. Dat is wie ik zou willen vechten volgende. Ik wil heel graag mijn hele team bedanken, van boven naar beneden, voor het geven van mij deze prachtige kans. We zijn erg blij dat we lid geworden van de Al Haymon team. We zijn erg loyaal en we gewoon echt alles wat ze hebben gedaan voor ons waarderen.”

 

Escandon voelde hij had genoeg om te winnen gedaan ondanks verwonden van de rechter wijsvinger van zijn rechterhand in de zevende ronde.

“Ik deed alles wat ik kon, alles was in mijn bereik, maar ik denk dat ik brak of gebroken mijn vinger,” he said. “In het boksen dingen gebeuren die uit uw controle. Omdat ik pijn mijn hand, Ik kon niet gooien stoten de manier waarop ik wilde met mijn rechterhand. Ik probeerde alles wat ik kon doen. Maar ik wilde niet verder verwonden. Ik ben ok, maar ik zeker zou graag een rematch.”

Will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

Laat een reactie achter

Door: Rich Bergeron

Floyd “Geld” Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 KO) and Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KO) are set to clash on May 2nd, 2015 in one of the most hyped fights in boxing history. This fight is so huge they are even planning to sell tickets to the weigh-in due to crowd control issues. The proceeds will not be going to the promoters or the boxers, hoewel. It all goes to charity. Nog, this is a first for the state of Nevada, which traditionally requires that all weigh-ins be free of charge for fans to attend.

The level of anticipation surrounding this fight had a long time to build up. For the better part of the last decade, these two pound-for-pound juggernauts could not make this fight happen for one ridiculous reason after another. As someone who personally attended some of Mayweather’s public workouts in Vegas, I can attest to the fact that the undefeated welterweight champion repeatedly and relentlessly cited Pacquiao’s refusal to undergo Olympic style blood testing when asked about the attempts being made to get this fight signed over five years ago.

Mayweather even came up with a little rap lyric to express the issue in simple terms:

“If you wanna fight the best, you gotta take the test,” he belted out during a sit-up session at one of those open workouts.

Pacquiao changed his tune on the testing and overcame the biggest hurdle of all when he met personally with Mayweather and agreed that he would be the “B” side and should therefore get a smaller split of the purse. As the video above outlines, Mayweather was then able to dominate the negotiation process.

Although pundits still say this fight will be the biggest in the history of the sport, the question must be asked if this pairing is happening too late in the careers of both fighters for it to be as exciting as some experts predict it will be.

It was always clear to me this fight would happen, but it became obvious that the longer it took to sign the contracts, the better Floyd’s chances of winning would be. Nog, Floyd did admit in 2012 dat the real reason he didn’t want to fight Pacquiao was due to health concerns. He denied being scared, calling himself “smart” for thinking about his family and his health first. Nog, he insisted that the main reason his health would be at risk in that fight was if Pacquiao was really doing steroids, as Mayweather alleged and ended up being sued over. The two settled out of court and the fight is now imminent, so some fans think it’s all water under the bridge. Others are just plain aggravated that we had to wait this long for this bout to come to fruition.

Boxing Legend Marvin Hagler even commented recently that Mayweather waited until Pacquiao aged a little more before signing to fight him. Hagler compared Mayweather’s tactics to Sugar Ray Leonard waiting until Hagler became a little “soft” himself before they signed their fight contract. That bout turned out to be hugely controversial and left Hagler extremely bitter about the sport that made him famous.

Zo, the May-Pac fight will happen, and Mayweather is the obvious favorite. To learn more about the gambling side of this story, uitchecken Boxing betting at William Hill site. The biggest payoff for any lucky bettor will be a successful bet on Pacquiao, but it’s easy to wonder if Pacquiao really is too old to win this time out. After all, there are tons of concerns with Manny’s calf muscles seizing up, and he reportedly uses a healing cream that costs thousands of dollars per bottle to address the problem.

Mayweather (38) is actually the older fighter, but the 36-year-old Manny’s fought 17 more bouts in the pro ranks and will likely be the most active puncher “Geld” ever faced. Mayweather’s normally spectacular and overwhelming defensive prowess just might be tested.

This fight may not be worth every penny you spend on tickets or the Pay-Per-View feed, but the fact that it is finally happening is still special. It will still be a fight boxing fans everywhere around the world can enjoy and appreciate. It’s ultimately up to the fighters to prove they are both up to the task of making sure this fight lives up to expectations. Chances are, Floyd will do his best to leave the MGM Grand with an uneventful decision win. Let’s just hope Pacquiao has enough left in the tank to make sure this is the most competitive fight Mayweather’s ever been in. It may not be the most opportune time for this fight to happen, but it’s a lot better to get it late than never.

Connecticut fan favorite, Mexican-born Danny Aquino (17-2, 10 KO), upset previously undefeated Massachusetts featherweight Ryan “De Poolse Prince” Kielczweski (22-1, 6 KO) by way of an eight-round split decision in an entertaining co-feature event for New England bragging rights. The aggressive-fighting Aquino kept coming forward throughout the fight, as Kielczweski effectively counter-punched. Neither fighter was remotely hurt in the action-packed clash of gifted boxers.

 

Aquino defeated Kielczweski the one time they fought in the amateurs. “Because of his record,” Aquino commented, “this was the biggest win of my career. It was extra special winning my first ESPN fight, ook. I think my aggressiveness was the difference. He was moving around and I had to keep putting pressure on him to make it my fight, not his fight. I hope this fight will give me opportunities and I’ll take the best.”

 

“It was definitely a tough fight,” Kielczweski noted. “Making weight definitely took a lot out of me. I think I boxed well, landed the harder shots and blocked most of his. I guess the judges likes his aggression, but I thought I won the fight.”

 
Tevin Farmer (R) won his 11th fight in a row

In de opening televisie bout, Philadelphia junior lightweight Tevin “American Idol” Farmer (19-4-1, 4 KO) won his 11th straight fight, winning a unanimous eight-round decision over previously unbeaten Engel “De Kat” Luna (10-1-1, 6 KO), van Brooklyn, in a very competitive fight.

 

“Ik voel me geweldig,” Farmer said after the fight. “That’s exactly what I wanted to show. I wanted to show a lot of different dimensions. TV wants guys who can punch and box, the total package, and I showed that vanavond. I feel that I’m ready for a top 10 contender and showed vanavond that I belong among the best.”

 

Ghanaian southpaw Lennox “2 Sharpe” Allen (19-0-1, 12 KO), fighting out of New York City, overcame a flash knockdown at the end of round six to knock out a gamePaul Gonsalves (7-7-1, 3 KO) in the following round. Allen connected with a straight left hand punch that landed flush on the Cape Cod light heavyweight’s chin.

 

Unbeaten middleweight Alantez “slyaz aan” Vos (15-0-1, 5 KO), fighting out of Maryland, outclassed Dominican invader Franklin Gonzalez (16-14, 10 KO) on his way to a second-round technical knockout, trapping his opponent against the ropes and unloaded a barrage of unanswered punches until referee Harvey Dock halted the action.

 

Exciting Houston welterweight Regis “Rougarou” PROGRAMMA'S ran his record to 14-0 (12 KO), stoppen Abraham “Gierzwaluw” Alvarez (19-8-1, 9 KO) bij de 1:28 teken van de openingsronde. The promising southpaw prospect put his Mexican opponent down with a viscous, straight left to the body.
