Залишити коментар

Льюїстон, Мен (Квітня 20, 2015) – When Crowsneck Бутин (0-0) makes his professional debut on Червень 13, 2015 в Androscoggin банку Colisee в Льюїстон, 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 “Мейн-МАК” Сільвія (31-10) at New England Fights’ (NEF) third mixed-martial-arts (MMA) подія. Earlier that night, on the amateur portion card, Boutin was in action against Brent “Frosty” Dillingham (1-1). Dillingham won via technical knockout (ВООЗ) в першому турі. That was not the end of the action, проте, 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 Червень 13 will be none other than Dillingham’s coach at MMA Athletix, “Звалище Собака” Райан 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 Червень 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, Мен. Having suffered a major disappointment when his opponent backed out of their scheduled bout during fight week of “NEF XVII” earlier this month, Cowette is optimistic in regards to the Червень 13 fight with Boutin.

 

“This should be a great fight for the fans,” Саїд 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.”

Hogan Outworks Brunson on CBS Sports Network Night of Boxing

Australia via Kildare, Ірландії WBA #12- і IBF # 11 рейтингом “Ураган” Денніс Хоган (21-0-1, 7 КО) cruised to an entertaining and workmanlike 10-round decision over Philadelphia’s Tyrone “Молода Gun” Брансон (22-5-1, 21 КО) сьогодні ввечері, в головній події “Чемпіонат Бокс на CBS Sports Network” at the Grand Casino Hinckley in Hinckley, Міннесота.

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 і 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.

Брансон, 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.

Presented by Greg Cohen Promotions in association with Adam Wilcock’s Fight Card Promotions and produced by David Schuster’s Winner Take All Productions “Чемпіонат Бокс на CBS Sports Network” was the debut CBS-televised effort from the promotional team.

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

У нічній спільній головній події, lightweight slugger Ismael Barroso made quick work of Memphis, Tennessee veteran Ira Terry, knocking him out inside of a round.

The southpaw Barroso, Ель-Тігре, Венесуела, moved his record to 18-0-2, 17 KOs by flattening Terry (зараз 26-14, 16 КО) 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.

У телевізійному ніж, Saint Paul, Міннесота, middleweight prospect Rob “Добре” Казарка (15-0, 9 КО)made surprisingly easy work of Miami via Colombia’s Dionisio Miranda (22-11-2, 19 КО), dropping him for the full count at 2:40 два тури.

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 “Велика дитина” Мельник, Брукліна, Нью-Йорк, moved his impressive record to 12-0-1, 10 KOs by knocking out Nairobi, Kenya’s Raymond “Кінг Конг” Ochieng (26-19-3, 21 КО) на 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.

Проте, 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.

Сан - Антоніо, Техас, super bantamweight Adam “Mantequilla” Лопес (11-0, 6 КО) furthered his reputation as an up-and-coming prospect by levelling Saint Paul, Minnesota’s Philip Adyaka (4-5, 2 КО) 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 Джо “Minnesota Ice” Абель (30-8, 29 КО) of nearby Coon Rapids, Міннесота, started his comeback by stopping journeyman Travis “Залізна людина” Fulton (22-39-1, 21 КО) of 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, після бою. На жаль, 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 “Чоловік” Goodman, зараз 4-5-2, 4 КО, picked up a good win over299-фунт Brett Murphy, зараз 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. Час зупинки був 1:38.

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 want to move forward and fight the winner of Mayweather-Pacquiao.”

“I saw his punches easily coming in. I know I threw more punches. I was a little surprised that he did not come out for the (10ї) but he was cut, had been getting beat up and had just got knocked down, so he knew what would happen if he came out.

 

“Chavez said before the fight that he didn’t think I could take his body punches. I think I took them pretty good and passed that test.

 

“I know there are things I can still work on in training to become a more complete boxer, алесьогодні ввечері was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Light Heavyweight World Champion) Адоніс Стівенсон.

I’m not sure what my future holds. It was a very tough fight. But I congratulate Andrzej.”

 

Goossen told reporters afterward that he had “stopped the fight. It was my decision. I didn’t like what I saw. ”

 

In the first half of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader, undefeated world-ranked super lightweight Амір я (17-0, 14 КО), of Davie, Штат Флорида., шляхом Олбані, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “Молот” Замок.

 

The talented, versatile, У мене є, 24, controlled a fight that featured numerous exchanges especially early on with a left jab and straight right hand.

 

“My combinations were effective the whole night, we stuck to our gameplan and came out victorious,” said Imam. “I want any of the world champions next”.

 

Замок, who saw a nine-fight winning streak come to an end, сказав “I thought I won the fight. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; добре, that gives me no chance to win here. The cut bothered me in the early rounds, but was not a factor after.”

 

Раніше Субота, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, непереможеним Мойзес “El Chucky” Квіти (23-0, 16 КО), Гвадалахара, Мексика, captured the WBA Super Bantamweight Interim World Championship with a thrilling 12-round split decision over defending champion Оскар Escandon (24-2 16 КО), of Tolima, Колумбія.

“I want to fight the best next, the top guys at 122 pounds and right now the top guy is Лев Санта-Крус. That’s who I’d like to fight next. I really want to thank all my team, зверху вниз, for giving me this wonderful opportunity. We’re very happy that we joined the Al Haymon team. We’re very loyal and we just really appreciate everything they’ve done for us.”

 

Escandon felt he’d done enough to win despite injuring the right index finger on his right hand in the seventh round.

“I did all that I could, everything was in my reach, but I think I broke or fractured my finger,” він сказав. “In boxing things happen that are out of your control. Because I hurt my hand, I couldn’t throw punches the way I wanted to with my right hand. I tried to do all I could with it. But I didn’t want to injure it further. I’m OK, but I definitely would love a rematch.”

 

In the SHOWTIME EXTREME co-feature, супер напівсередній Омар “El Businessman”Чавес (33-3-1, 22 КО), of Culiacan, the younger brother of Chavez, Молодший. and son of legendary Julio Cesar Sr., won an exciting, завзятий, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 КО), of Arjona, Колумбія.

Will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

Залишити коментар

За: Багатий Бержерон

Флойд “Гроші” Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 КО) and Manny “Pac Man” Пакьяо (57-5-2, 38 КО) 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, хоча. It all goes to charity. Ще, 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 “В” 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. Ще, Floyd did admit in 2012 що 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. Ще, 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.

Так, the May-Pac fight will happen, and Mayweather is the obvious favorite. To learn more about the gambling side of this story, перевірити 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.

Мейвезер (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 “Гроші” 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.

Ункасвілль, Коннектикут. (Квітня 17, 2015) – Непереможний в першій середній Тоні Харрісон rolled to his 21вулиця straight victory in сьогодні ввечері ESPN П'ятниця Нічні бої головна подія, presented by DiBella Entertainment in association with New Legend Boxing, в Mohegan Sun Arena.

 

Харрісон (21-0, 18 КО), fighting out of Detroit, впав Pablo Munguia (20-7, 11 КО) at the end of the second round with a powerful punch. Munguia was examined between rounds by the ring doctor. Суддя Arthur Mercante needed only 11 seconds into the next round to determine that the Mexican was unable to be competitive, awarding Harrison a victory by technical knockout.

 

“I’m looking for whoever Аль Haymon puts me in with,” 24-year-old Harrison remarked. “I’m from Detroit. I’ve never said ‘no’ to an opponent I was offered, which says a lot about me. We have a lot of heart in Detroit. I’m ready for a big fight. I got him with a step-back overhand right. I wish they had let it go a little longer. I wanted to finish him, but the bell went off.”

 
Денні Акіно (L) and Ryan Kielczweski put on a real show

 

Connecticut fan favorite, Mexican-born Денні Акіно (17-2, 10 КО), upset previously undefeated Massachusetts featherweight Райан “Польський князь” Kielczweski (22-1, 6 КО) 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, занадто. 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 Фермер (R) won his 11th fight in a row

У першому поєдинку телебаченню, Philadelphia junior lightweight Tevin “American Idol” Farmer (19-4-1, 4 КО) won his 11th straight fight, winning a unanimous eight-round decision over previously unbeaten Ангел “Кот” Місяць (10-1-1, 6 КО), Брукліна, in a very competitive fight.

 

“Я прекрасно себе почуваю,” 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 сьогодні ввечері. I feel that I’m ready for a top 10 contender and showed сьогодні ввечері that I belong among the best.”

 

Ghanaian southpaw Lennox “2 Sharpe” Аллен (19-0-1, 12 КО), 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 КО) in the following round.
