MIDDLEWEIGHT FIGHT SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 13 HAS A HISTORY

Shiya amazwana

Lewiston, Maine (April 20, 2015) – When Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) makes his professional debut on June 13, 2015 at the 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 “The Maine-IAC” Sylvia (31-10) at New England Fights’ (NEF) third mixed-martial-arts (MMA) umcimbi. Earlier that night, on the amateur portion card, Boutin was in action against Brent “Frosty” Dillingham (1-1). Dillingham won via technical knockout (WHO) e emzuliswaneni wokuqala. That was not the end of the action, Nokho, 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 June 13 will be none other than Dillingham’s coach at MMA Athletix, “The Dog Junkyard” 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 June 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” earlier this month, Cowette is optimistic in regards to the June 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.”

 

Next MMA umcimbi NEF sika, “NEF XVIII: Made in America” will originate from the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine on June 13, 2015.

Carson, Calif. (April 18, 2015) – Confident and determined, Andrzej “The PolishPrince” Fonfara (27-3, 16 Kos) spoiled the ring return of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 Kos) in resounding fashion Saturday ebusuku, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofShowtime Championship Boxing hlala e ISIKHATHI SOMBUKISO.

 

Fonfara, of Chicago by way of Radon, Poland, dropped Chavez, of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico, with a wide left hook 50 seconds into the ninth round before a boisterous crowd of 8,636 predominately-Chavez fans at StubHub Center. It was the first time in 52 professional fights that Chavez had hit the canvas from a punch.

 

Upon returning to the corner, Chavez could be heard on the telecast telling trainer Joe Goossen that he had hurt his right leg and could no longer continue. Ngemva kwesikhashana, the fight was halted. The busier and more accurate fighter throughout, Fonfara was comfortably ahead on the three judges’ scorecards by scored of 89-80 futhi 88-81 twice after nine full rounds.

 

Offered an ecstatic Fonfara, who had his fair share of Polish fans at the venue: “I knew he was a tough fighter, quick and in good shape but when he hit me for the first time in the first round, I knew I was going to win this fight. He didn’t punch as hard as everybody said he did.

 

“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 (10th) 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, kodwatonight was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Light Heavyweight World Champion) Adonis Stevenson.

 

Said Chavez, the son of legendary Mexican icon, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. in the ring afterward and before he was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, “Maybe 170,172 pounds is too big for me, maybe I’ll go back down. 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 “wayeka ukulwa. 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 Amir I (17-0, 14 Kos), of Davie, Fla., ngendlela Albany, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “The Hammer” Castle.

 

The talented, versatile, I abe, 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”.

 

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

 

Ngasekuqaleni Saturday, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, Ezingakanqotshwa Moisés “El Chucky” Flowers (23-0, 16 Kos), Guadalajara, Mexico, captured the WBA Super Bantamweight Interim World Championship with a thrilling 12-round split decision over defending champion Oscar Escandon (24-2 16 Kos), of Tolima, Colombia.

 

Flowers, okwenza yakhe 2015 debut and third start in a row in the United States, uphakeme by the izikolo 116-112 kabili futhi 113-115.

 

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “Lokhu kugcwaliseka iphupho – more than a dream come true – for me,” uthe. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, yebo, I thought it was very, very close but I absolutely feel I won.

 

“I want to fight the best next, the top guys at 122 pounds and right now the top guy is Leo Santa Cruz. That’s who I’d like to fight next. I really want to thank all my team, from top to bottom, 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,” uthe. “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, super welterweight Omar “El Businessman”Chavez (33-3-1, 22 Kos), of Culiacan, the younger brother of Chavez, Jr. and son of legendary Julio Cesar Sr., won an exciting, kanzima ekulweleni, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over URichard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 Kos), of Arjona, Colombia.

Chavez won by the scores of 78-75 kabili futhi 77-74. There were no knockdowns.

 

Unbeaten Argentine welterweight Fabian “TNT” Maidana (6-0, 5 Kos), Santa Fe, Argentina, the brother of former world champion UMarcos Maidana, registered a second-round TKO (32 seconds singene round) over outclassed Cory Vom Baur (2-3), of Vancouver, Geza.

Will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

Shiya amazwana

By: Rich Bergeron

Floyd “Imali” Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 Kos) and Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Kos) 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, noma. It all goes to charity. Still, this is a first for the state of Nevada, which traditionally requires that all weigh-ins be free of charge for fans to attend.

Izinga lokulindela elizungeze le mpi libe nesikhathi eside lokwakha. Ngokwengxenye engcono yeminyaka eyishumi edlule, lawa majuggernaut amabili ompondo-we-pondo awakwazanga ukwenza le mpi yenzeke ngesizathu esisodwa esingenangqondo ngemuva kwesinye. Njengomuntu ngubani uqobo wahambela okunye kokusebenza komphakathi kukaMayweather eVegas, Ngingakufakazela ukuthi umpetha we-welterweight onganqotshwa kaninginingi ucaphune ukwenqaba kukaPacquiao ukwenziwa isitayela sokuhlolwa kwegazi ngesitayela se-Olimpiki lapho ebuzwa ngemizamo eyenziwe yokuthi le mpi isayinwe eminyakeni emihlanu edlule.

UMayweather uze waqhamuka nomculo omncane we-rap ukuzwakalisa lolu daba ngamagama alula:

“Uma ufuna ukulwa nokuhamba phambili, kufanele uvivinye,” ukhishwe ngesikhathi sokuhlala kokunye kokuzivocavoca okuvulekile.

UPacquiao ushintshe isimo sakhe esivivinyweni futhi wanqoba isithiyo esikhulu kunazo zonke lapho ehlangana mathupha noMayweather futhi wavuma ukuthi uzoba “B” side ngakho-ke kufanele ithole ukuhlukaniswa okuncane kwesikhwama. Njengoba ividiyo engenhla ichaza, UMayweather wabe esekwazi ukuphatha inqubo yezingxoxo.

Yize ochwepheshe besasho ukuthi le mpi izoba enkulu kunayo yonke emlandweni wezemidlalo, umbuzo kufanele ubuzwe uma lokhu kubhanqwa kwenzeka sekwephuze kakhulu emisebenzini yabo bobabili abalweli ukuze ijabulise njengoba abanye ochwepheshe babikezela ukuthi kuzoba.

Kwakuhlale kungicacela ukuthi le mpi izokwenzeka, kepha kwacaca ukuthi kuthatha isikhathi eside ukusayina izinkontileka, amathuba angcono okuwina kukaFloyd. Still, UFloyd wavuma 2012 ukuthi isizathu sangempela wayengafuni ukulwa noPacquiao sasingenxa yokukhathazeka kwezempilo. Ukuphikile ukuthi wethukile, ezibiza “uhlakaniphile” ngokucabanga ngomndeni wakhe nangempilo yakhe kuqala. Still, waphikelela ekutheni isizathu esiyinhloko sokuthi impilo yakhe ibe sengcupheni kuleyo mpi ukuthi uPacquiao wayenza ngempela ama-steroids, njengoba uMayweather asho njalo wagcina ngokumangalelwa. Laba bobabili bahlala ngaphandle kwenkantolo futhi impi isiyasondela, ngakho-ke abanye abalandeli bacabanga ukuthi konke kungamanzi ngaphansi kwebhuloho. Abanye bacasulwa ngokusobala ukuthi bekufanele silinde isikhathi eside ukuze le mpi ize iphumelele.

Umlingisi wesibhakela uMarvin Hagler uze waphawula muva nje ukuthi uMayweather walinda uPacquiao esemdala kancane ngaphambi kokusayina ukuze alwe naye. UHagler uqhathanise amaqhinga kaMayweather noSugar Ray Leonard alinde uHagler abe mncane “ithambile” yena ngaphambi kokuba basayine inkontileka yabo yokulwa. Leyo mpi yaba nempikiswano enkulu futhi yashiya uHagler emunyu kakhulu ngalo mdlalo owamenza waduma.

Ngakho, impi kaMay-Pac izokwenzeka, kanti uMayweather uyintandokazi esobala. Ukuze ufunde kabanzi ngohlangothi lokugembula lwale ndaba, hlola Ukubheja isibhakela endaweni yaseWilliam Hill. Inzuzo enkulu kunoma yimuphi umbheja onenhlanhla kuzoba ukubheja okuphumelelayo ePacquiao, kodwa kulula ukuzibuza ukuthi ngabe uPacquiao ngempela usemdala kakhulu ukuthi anganqoba kulokhu. Ngemva kwakho konke, kukhona amathani wokukhathazeka ngemisipha yenkonyane kaManny ebamba phezulu, futhi kubikwa ukuthi usebenzisa ukhilimu ophulukisayo obiza izinkulungwane zamaRandi ngebhodlela ngalinye ukuxazulula le nkinga.

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 “Imali” 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.

Tony Harrison rolls to 21st win

Aquino shocks Kielczweski,

Farmer wins 11th straight fight

Tony Harrison (L) was too much for Pablo Munguia

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (April 17, 2015) – Middleweight Ezingakanqotshwa junior Tony Harrison rolled to his 21st straight victory in kusihlwa ESPN Friday Night ayalwa Umcimbi main, presented by DiBella Entertainment in association with New Legend Boxing, at Mohegan Sun Arena.

 

Harrison (21-0, 18 Kos), fighting out of Detroit, baphonse Pablo Munguia (20-7, 11 Kos) at the end of the second round with a powerful punch. Munguia was examined between rounds by the ring doctor. Referee 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 Al 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.”

 
Danny Aquino (L) and Ryan Kielczweski put on a real show

 

Connecticut fan favorite, Mexican-born Danny Aquino (17-2, 10 Kos), upset previously undefeated Massachusetts featherweight Ryan “The Polish Prince” Kielczweski (22-1, 6 Kos) 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, too. 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 the kuvulwa isiqephu iziqubu, Philadelphia junior lightweight Tevin “American Idol” Farmer (19-4-1, 4 Kos) won his 11th straight fight, winning a unanimous eight-round decision over previously unbeaten Angel “The Cat” Luna (10-1-1, 6 Kos), of Brooklyn, in a very competitive fight.

 

“Ngizizwa enkulu,” 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 tonight. I feel that I’m ready for a top 10 contender and showed tonight that I belong among the best.”

 

Ghanaian southpaw Lennox “2 Sharpe” Allen (19-0-1, 12 Kos), 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 Kos) 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 “SlyAza” Fox (15-0-1, 5 Kos), fighting out of Maryland, outclassed Dominican invader Franklin Gonzalez (16-14, 10 Kos) esendleleni eya engqungqutheleni yesibili yobuchwepheshe, ubambise imbangi yakhe ezintanjeni futhi wehlise inqwaba yezibhakela ezingaphendulwanga kwaze kwaba ngunompempe IHarvey Dock kumise isenzo.

 

Isisindo se-welterweight esijabulisayo Regis “Ibiwe” IZINHLELO usebenzise irekhodi lakhe ku 14-0 (12 Kos), nokuyeka Abraham “Swift” Alvarez (19-8-1, 9 Kos) at the 1:28 uphawu lomjikelezo wokuvula.
