Mashantucket, Connecticut (Setembre 2, 2016) – New England boxers dominated last night’s Broadway Boxing, presented by DiBella Entertainment and sponsored by Nissan of Queens, Optyx, Azad Watches and Christos Steak House, held in the Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
Rhode Island lightweight “Nice” Nick DeLomba (11-1, 2 KOs) outboxed and outpunched former Florida State Golden Gloves champion Amos “2 Smooth” Cowart (11-2-1, 9 KOs) for an upset victory by way of an eight-round unanimous decision.
DeLomba, who was one of five winning New Englanders without a loss, took the fight to Cowart, beating him to the punch and effectively counterpunching. Cowart was unable to contain DeLomba’s side-to-side movement or his flurries of punches in the main event.
“Everybody looks at me and thinks they’re going to attack my body,” an ecstatic DeLomba said after the fight. “Nobody moves as smooth as me and I’m going to keep doing it.”
Nick DeLomba (R) outworked Cowart
En la baralla co-estel·lar, New Mexico super featherweight Jose “Shorty” Salinas (10-2-1, 5 KOs) stood tall, stunning Albania native Dardan Zenunaj (12-2, 9 KOs), who is trained byRobert García. Now fighting out of Belgium, Zenunaj couldn’t put Salinas away early and he paid for that in the later rounds. Bloodied and bruised, Salinas refused to stop throwing punches, and his huge heart resulted in an eight-round unanimous decision victory.
Jose Salinas pulled off a stunner
Undefeated Spaniard Jon “Jonfer” Fernandez (9-0, 7 KOs) used a tremendous height and reach advantage to pound his tough Mexican opponent Naciff “Chata” Castell (17-9-2, 5 KOs) until referee Joey Lupino halted the action midway through the fifth round. Fernandez recently signed a promotional contract with DiBella Entertainment and legendary boxer Sergio Martinez.

Brooklyn lightweight Wesley Ferrer (12-0, 6 KOs), 1 2013 New York City Golden Gloves champion, kept his undefeated record intact by outclassing a game Angel Figueroa (4-4-1). Referee Arthur Mercante stopped the fight 20 seconds into the seventh round.
Wesley Ferrer (L) was simply too much for Angel Figueroa
Sensational high school senior “Meravellós” Mykey Williams (4-0, 2 KOs) unloaded a three-punch combination that knocked out David Nelson (3-6, 1 KO) només 24 segons en la primera ronda. The 18-year-old Williams, fighting out of East Hartford, is rapidly developing into a rising star.
Mykey Williams ended the show early
Worcester, MA featherweight Irvin Gonzalez (2-0, 2 KOs) needed only two minutes to knock out Juan Muniz (0-5). The 20-year-old Gonzalez, whose pro debut also ended spectacularly in the opening round, exploded with a barrage of punches until referee Mercante stepped in to save the Texan from additional damage.
Irvin Gonzalez (R) is a promising prospect
In an action-packed match between a pair of pro debut fighters, East Hartford welterweight Anthony Laureano (1-0) emerged with a hard-fought win by four-round majority decision over Philadelphia’s Nahir Albright (0-1). The 21-year-old Laureano was a 2016 campió dels Guants d'Or de Nova Anglaterra.
Anthony Laureano (R) and Nahir Albright went to war
Favorit dels fans Jonathan “Smooth” Figueroa (1-0, 1 KO), fighting out of nearby Hartford, turned in an impressive performance in his professional debut, finishing off Philadelphia welterweight Demetris Williams (0-2) en la quarta ronda. Figueroa, 1 2012 Southern New England Golden Gloves champion, wore down Williams and ended things with a powerful right hand.

Cowart vs. DeLomba headlines Broadway Boxing Thursday, Set. 1st at Foxwoods Resort Casino

Leave a comment
Mashantucket, Connecticut (Agost 11, 2016) –
Broadway Boxing, presented by DiBella Entertainment, returns Thursday night, Setembre 1, to the Premier Ballroom at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
Lightweight prospects Amos “2 Smooth” Cowart (11-1-1, 9 KOs) i “Nice” Nick DeLomba (10-1, 2 KOs) will throw-down in the eight-round main event.
“Foxwoods has become a terrific venue for Broadway Boxing and I am thrilled to deliver this lightweight crossroads battle between two once-beaten prospects as the main event,” dit Lou DiBella, El president de DiBella Entertainment. “Cowart fought well in his ShoBox appearance last year, but he will be returning to his natural weight class on September 1. Moving past his hometown confines for only the second time as a pro, we will see if DeLomba is ready to elevate his career to the world stage.”
A native Floridian from Groveland, Cowart (pictured above) is coming off his first loss as a professional, suffered just over one year ago in Atlantic City. La baralla, televised live as part of Showtime’s ShoBox: La Nova Generació sèrie, saw the hard-hitting Cowart move up in weight to challenge fellow undefeated prospect Regis Prograis. Cowart went on to lose a very entertaining eight-round decision to the still undefeated contender Prograis, who was chosen as one of this year’s ESPN.com’s “Prospects to Watch”. Following the loss, Cowart was forced to sit on the sidelines as he nursed an injury suffered in the bout. Now back and fully healthy, Cowart is dropping down in weight and looking to make some noise in the 135 lliura. divisió.
“The bout with Prograis was a good learning experience, but I am not a 140-pounder,” said Cowart. “I took the fight because it was an opportunity to perform on national TV, and I believe I gave a good showing of what I am capable of doing. I am back now at my comfortable weight and know that I have what it takes to compete against the best up-and-coming guys in this division. DeLomba is the hometown boy. I know that he is going to have the crowd behind him, but once that bell rings, it’s just him and me in that ring, and I plan on putting on a spectacular performance as I get my career back underway and moving toward the top.”
DeLomba, the reigning New England super lightweight champion, has been favorably compared at this stage of his young career to another Italian fighter from the same Rhode Island city of Cranston, in two-division world champion Vinny Pau. DeLomba is expected to have a partisan hometown crowd behind him and will be looking to make a statement against the once-beaten Cowart.
“This is a huge fight for me at this stage of my career,” said DeLomba. “Cowart’s only loss is to Prograis and he is considered one of the best young 140-pounders in all of boxing. If I can beat Cowart more convincingly, that is a major statement. I am not only going to be the bigger guy in the ring on fight night, but I am the better boxer. He is coming off a year layoff, and I know that he is eager to get back in that ring, but this is the biggest fight of my career, and I plan on putting on a show come September 1.”
Belgium super featherweight Dardan Zenunaj (12-1, 9 KOs), a former World Boxing Association (AMB) International champion, and undefeated Cuban amateur standoutLuis “El Lleó” García (14-0, 11 KOs), fighting out of Peekskill, Nova York, are also scheduled to be in action on the Sept. 1 Broadway Boxing card in separate eight-round bouts.
Additional fights on the card will be announced shortly.
Tickets for the Sept. 1st card are on sale and priced at $125, $75 i $45, sense incloure càrrecs i impostos aplicables de servei.

The action picked up in round two as Lo Greco came in on the attack early in the round, pinning Elegele against the ropes and continuing to pepper him with punches to the body and the head.
Despite being taken aback by the attack, Elegele came roaring back in the final seconds of round two and out of the corner to kick off round three. Lo Greco remained in the pocket, not afraid to continue to throw wide left hooks as the fighters traded punches back and forth.
As the fight continued, Lo Greco backed Elegele up against the ropes, smothering him with punches despite Elegele’s four-inch height advantage.

“I hope this win puts me on the next level. I’m ready for the top fighters. I know there are some things I can work on, but I am ready for the top fighters.
“I’m not sure what’s up with my left hand. It hurt me when I was throwing it, but I’m a warrior. I’ve been through too much in life to let a little left hand hurt me. It could be falling off and I’m still going to throw it.”
PHIL EL GRECO
“It was his hometown. The score could have gone either way. I hurt him in the second round. He was out and the ref could have stopped the fight. That is no excuse. I will fight anyone, on sigui.
“I felt I was pushing the fight. I am disappointed in the decision.
“It’s up to the fans if they want to see me again. People see that I will fight anywhere and anyplace. I enjoyed tonight.”
DEVAUN LEE
“I don’t agree with the draw, I think I won the fight. I would have been comfortable with a split decision. He worked, but I landed clean shots and I landed heavier punches. I feel like I won the fight. Ell té el poder, but he wasn’t powerful enough to stop me.
“Següent, I’m ready for whatever they put in front of me. I would do it again.”
CRAIG BAKER
“Lovett is a strong guy and he’s a hell of a competitor. He came to work and he tested me, so it is what it is, 1.
“This is awesome, 1. This is what I sweat and kill myself in the gym for. This win means the world to me.
“He never hurt me tonight. We stayed patient I do what we do. This is the biggest win of my career, but I won’t rest until I get a title.
“I’ll fight whoever next. I’ll be back in the gym soon and getting ready for whoever the put in front of me next.

All but Prograis and Baranchyk were making their ShoBox debuts. Cuiner, Aguas and Givhan became the 143rd, 144º i 145º boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

 

“I can’t remember a 15 any of working ShoBox a show with such emphatic knockouts – and two of them being spectacular knockout of the year candidates,'', Va dir ShoBox analista expert Steve Farhood.

 

PROGRAMES, a 5 peus setembre, 27-year-old originally from New Orleans, was fighting in his second consecutive ShoBox main event and second scheduled 10-rounder. The aggressive-minded southpaw pounded Herrera’s body from the opening bell; five of his six power punches were targeted to the Mexican’s midsection. A left hook to the body downed Herrera, who crumpled to the canvas and wasn’t able to beat the count.

“I was prepared to go 10 rondes completes, the last thing I was expecting was a first-round knockout,’’ said Prograis, who was making his 2016 debut. “I’m making hard fights look easy but they’re really not. It’s all the daily work in the gym all day every day that is paying off for me. Tonight was fun. I’m very satisfied.

“I want all the fighters in my division to know one thing: I’m coming after all of you.’’

“He just got me with a great shot, it was simple as that,’’ said Herrera, who making his second start in the United States. “There’s really not that much that I can say.’’

 

The highly regarded Baranchyk – making his second eight-round start and second in a row on ShoBox – knocked out Givhan with a huge left hand with the first power punch of the fight. He required only two punches to finish the 17-fight veteran. Surprisingly, it wasn’t the quickest professional KO for the Belarus native. Baranchyk owns a three-second KO over Angel Figueroa des 2015.

 

“I’m very happy,’’ Baranchyk said. “I was expecting a much longer fight. I was focused on a full fight. But knockouts are good. I know fans like knockouts.

 

“I’ll take a week off and then go back to the drawing board. I’m looking ahead to fighting again soon and on ShoBox again.’’

 

Givhan was shocked with the result.

 

“I’m good but I am very, very disappointed,” Givhan said. “This is the lowlight of my life. For me to get knocked out by someone I know I can beat is just the worst feeling. And there’s nothing worse than for it to happen on national television.

 

“No one expects 20-second fights. I just got caught, that’s all.”

Golub, a former standout amateur from Ukraine, had to rally from the first knockdown of his career. “This was a little tougher than I expected,'', Va dir. “But it’s all about learning. I had to go through some adversity to win. You don’t know adversity until it hits you in the face.”

Golub was the more active fighter against the awkward Aguas, who was at his best when matters turned ugly. In a bizarre second round, southpaw Golub scored a questionable knockdown as Aguas hit the canvas while clinching and off-balance. Aguas bounced back seconds later to knock down Golub with a short right, sending the Ukrainian to the canvas for the first time in his career.

“I was surprised that I got knocked down, but he caught me off-balance,’’ Golub said. “Overall, I am very happy with my performance.”

Golub resumed control after the second and a series of combinations in the sixth sent a gassed Aguas falling back through the ropes in the closing seconds of the round. Aguas somehow rose to his feet to beat the count, but his trainer quickly waved off the bout when the Ecuadorian returned to the corner.

Aguas said an injury, not fatigue, was the reason his corner stopped the fight at the end of the sixth. “I hurt my right bicep in the fifth round,'', Va dir. “That’s the reason we stopped it. I wasn’t that tired.”

En la lluita d'obertura de la transmissió per televisió, DeLoach made Williams a winner in his training debut. With Williams looking on from his wheelchair in the corner, DeLoach, a winner of four in a row, dropped Cook with a devastating, counter-overhand right at 2:47 of the fourth that sent Cook awkwardly to the canvas in a knockout of the year candidate.

 

“I’m happy with my performance,’’ said DeLoach, who was the more active fighter, llançant gairebé 100 more punches over the four rounds. “This was a great experience fighting a guy like this in his backyard. I enjoyed the crowd and their enthusiasm. It motivated me. I got a little lazy in parts of the second and third rounds, but I listened to my corner and picked it up on offense and got my punch count up and going again.

 

“Dillon was a good fighter who moved a lot. I know I have to do better cutting off the ring. He landed with a left a second before I landed that big right. This was a great win for all of us. I’m ready to do this again.’’

 

“Look at me, look at my shirt. It feels like I was sweating worse than when I fought,’’ said Williams, who’s pro career came to a sudden and tragic end when he was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident in May 2012. “I am very relieved to get this one out of the way. I’m very happy for Justin and Mr. Pete (Paul’s longtime manager and trainer and DeLoach’s assistant trainer, George Williams)

 

"Estic bé, all things considered,’’ said Cook. “He was a tough guy. I’ve never been knocked out before so I don’t exactly know how to act. I felt I was in the fight until I was caught. It’s disappointing, but this was a great learning experience for me. It can only help me in the long run.’’

 

A taped interview with Williams and ShoBox analyst Steve Farhood aired prior to the bout. In the discussion, Farhood asked the former two-time champ why he chose to return as a trainer for the first time since the 2012 motorcycle accident left him paralyzed.

REGIS PROGRAIS

 

"Aquesta és la meva baralla més gran. Hem estat al gimnàs durant dos mesos preparant-. Estem combat amb tots els estils, qualsevol cosa que es necessita per preparar-me.

"Tenia un divertit molt en la meva última baralla perquè (Abel) Ramos seguia arribant. Estic lluitant contra un veterà, a different kind of guy tomorrow. He’s tough with the Mexican style so I expect him to be smart and know all the tricks.

 

"Herrera s'acosta sense res a perdre, però m'encanta la lluita contra l'estil mexicà. He estat entrenant a Houston, per la qual cosa no portarà res que no hagi vist abans.

 

"Puc ser un esquerrà hàbil o puc barallar-. M'encanta lluitar, és per això que vaig començar en la boxa. La meva forma de pensar és que colpejar i lluita, quan s'arriba a això. A vegades, si no colpeig m'avorreixo, així que barrejar una mica més, així que vagin a donar i després puc tornar. Puc adaptar-se a qualsevol estil.

 

"Aquest és el meu tercera baralla en ShoBox i el segon esdeveniment principal. Jo la benvinguda a la pressió, però al mateix temps sé que he de ignorar i simplement gaudir i divertir-se allà.

 

"Mentalment, Sento que estic a punt per una baralla gran contra qualsevol dels principals contendents, però sé que aquest tipus de baralles són encara una mica baix de la línia per a mi. Encara tinc molta feina a fer; He de seguir colpejant fins que ho entenc bé.

 

"Estic amb ganes d'una bona baralla matí. ''

 

AARON HERRERA

 

"Aquesta és una baralla interessant perquè els dos estem pujant en l'esport. He vist algunes de les seves baralles i sé el que estic en contra. Sembla que Prograis li agrada venir endavant i ve a barallar, i vaig a fer el mateix, encara que estic probablement més d'un boxejador que un batedor.

 

"Es tracta de tenir cura dels negocis. He estat 12 rondes abans. I’ve fought some good fighters with good records. Això és només la meva segona baralla a Amèrica, però he après molt del primer i que sens dubte m'ajudi. Tinc més confiança. Això no serà una nova experiència per a mi.

 

"He lluitat amb els esquerrans abans, així que després d'un parell de rondes, Estic segur que vaig a sentir còmode. Estic sens dubte per guanyar. No puc esperar a escoltar la campana d'obertura. ''

 

Oi BARANCHYK

"Això és 100 cent el millor tipus que ens hem enfrontat. Nick és un gran lluitador i no ho pot subestimar. Sabem que qualsevol cosa pot passar en la boxa. Poso el treball al gimnàs i ara he de fer la meva feina al ring.

 

"Sóc un colpejador, M'agrada portar-lo i ja vaig pel nocaut.

 

"Jo només sóc 23 però treball molt dur i sento que estic arribant al llarg. Estic al gimnàs tot el temps. Una de les principals coses que treballem a la majoria és la compostura dins de l'anell. Em sento com si estigués establint més i treballar el jab, però encara és una cosa que treballem.

 

"Vostè simplement no pot anar i colpejar a tothom. No és tan fàcil. Cal configurar els seus cops vegades. Mai canviaré de ser un colpejador naturals, el meu equip no està tractant de portar el foc en mi, només volen que posar seny ''.

 

NICK Givhan

"Aquesta és una gran oportunitat i em sento beneït de ser aconseguir que es, però és una cosa que he estat treballant durant anys. Sento que aquest és el lloc on se suposa que he d'estar en aquesta etapa de la meva carrera. Només cal entrar al ring per assegurar-se que maneig meu negoci al ring

 

"És sens dubte un dels oponents més durs que he enfrontat. és gran, poderós i colpeja amb força tota la baralla. Però jo sóc el més dur que ha enfrontat.

"Això es perfila com un boxejador contra colpejador baralla que m'afavoreix. Es pot sortir colpejant en un primer moment, però una vegada que ha tocat que pot ser frustrat. Això és el que vaig a aprofitar, la seva sobre-agressivitat.

 

"Estic desitjant aprofitar el moment demà a la nit. ''

 

IVAN Golub

 

"Estic molt emocionat d'estar en aquesta targeta i desitjant lluitar en la meva primera ShoBox targeta. Aquest és un gran pas endavant i que serà una gran baralla.

 

"Quan em van donar l'oportunitat de lluitar a ShoBox, Ni tan sols preguntar qui estava lluitant contra. M'entreno amb alguns dels millors que hi ha (Ievgen Khytrov,Sergey Derevanchenko, etcètera). Però jo sóc més d'un boxejador-colpejador que alguns dels meus companys d'equip.

"Jo treballo molt dur. Jo estudi molt boxa. Sé que el meu temps està arribant. Mentre que mostren bones habilitats de boxa, el cop de gràcia vindrà ".

 

Marlon aquas

 

"Cal anar amb compte amb la figura famhters joo no saben res sobre, però jo vaig a donar 100 cent en allà. Sóc aquí per mostrar que tinc el que es necessita per convertir-se en un campió del món.

 

"Estic molt motivat. Aquesta és la meva primera baralla en la U.S. i per SHOWTIME així que estic buscant per fer una declaració. Sé que després d'aquesta baralla moltes portes s'obrirà. La gent pot no saber de mi ara, però ells em coneixeran després de demà a la nit.

 

"Tinc una gran quantitat de moviment, però també pot ser-hi cara a cara i baralla. They are making a mistake taking a step up and fighting me. They don’t know what they’re getting into.

 

"He estat fora causa d'una lesió a la mà esquerra, però és totalment curada i vull. He tingut un munt de combat.

 

"Estic més d'un estilista, el boxejador. M'agrada moure molt. Però si he d'anar-hi i ho faré baralla. Tinc moltes ganes de demostrar als aficionats que sóc digne de veure de nou. ''

 

DILLON CUINER

“This will be my toughest fight but I’m feeling great. I’m excited but not all that nervous. Hi ha lluitant a la televisió per primera vegada una mica de pressió, però no ha estat estressant.

 

"Aquesta és una baralla molt important; Estic a punt per a qualsevol cosa que porta. No estic tractant de sobre-pensar en res. Només vull fer el que faig.

 

"Es tracta d'un joc a casa per a mi. viu a 25 minuts. Pel que ajuda a que estigui acostumat a l'atmosfera i no han de viatjar.

 

"He vist una mica d'ell. Sento les coses que fa tot el temps treballarà en contra. El seu estil ve-cap endavant és un bon any per a mi. He tingut un munt de temps per preparar (cinc setmanes) per la qual cosa no hi haurà cap sorpresa.

 

"Crec que tinc les habilitats per anar a un pare molt, per això vull deixar una bona impressió.

 

“Speed and footwork are my biggest weapons. I’ve been dazed before, però no derrocat ''.

 

JUSTIN DeLoach

"Tot el que aquest punt ha estat una benedicció per a mi. Això és definitivament una gran baralla i estic mirant endavant a fer el que faig i posar en un gran espectacle. No he vist un munt de Dillon però ell està invicte i ve de guanyar. Estic a punt per al que aporta.

 

"Sento que tinc una gran quantitat de talent en brut que encara no s'ha vist. La meva meta principal és prendre el control de la baralla des del principi.

 

"Això és tan emocionant. My biggest and most important fight yet. If I do what I’m supposed to I’ll be OK. Aquest és el meu primer vuit assalts, però no estic preocupat per això en absolut.

 

"Som part d'una gran ShoBox espectacle. No puc esperar ''.

 

Barry Tompkins dirà al ShoBox acció des del ringside, amb Steve Farhood i l'ex campió del món Raúl Márquez qualitat d'experts analistes. El productor executiu és Gordon Hall amb Richard Gaughan produir i Rick Phillips dirigent.
