cubano contro. cubano: Livan Navarro e Armando Alvarez pronti per la guerra al "Rumble at the Rock 2" di Heavyweight Factory venerdì, Sette. 28 al Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casinò – Hollywood

 

L'imbattuto Livan "Machine Gun Kid" di Cuba Navarro (8-0, 5 KO) ama una buona prova.

 

 

 

Mai uno da rifuggire da una sfida, il Miami (via Havana) i pesi welter saranno ancora una volta duri questo venerdì sera, quando affronta il compagno cubano Armando “The Gentleman” Alvarez (18-1, 12 KO) di Key West.

 

 

 

Il raro cubano vs. resa dei conti cubana, anche il primo incontro di Navarro in programma 10 round, mette in evidenza un undercard impilato venerdì, Sette. 28, alla "Rumble al Rock 2"evento di boxe professionistico al Hard Rock Event Center presso Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casinò di Hollywood, Fla.

 

 

 

Presentato da Kris Lawrence e The Heavyweight Factory, nell'evento principale di 10 round della notte, Honolulu, Le Hawaii sono imbattute Logan “The Korican Kid” Yoon (12-0, 10 KO) difenderà il suo campionato WBO-NABO Youth Junior Welterweight contro John "L'Imperatore" Renteria (16-4-1, 12 KO) di Panama. Nel co-main event di 10 round, Miami via Ekibastuz, del Kazakistan Mussa "Guerriero" Tursyngaliyev (7-0, 6 KO) affronterà Monteira, Colombia Deivi “El Cabo” Bassa (20-5, 12 KO) su 10 round per il WBA International Featherweight Championship.

 

I biglietti per “Rumble at the Rock 2” costano $60, $100, $150, $250 e $500 VIP e sono disponibili tramite ticketmaster.com.

 

 

 

Così, è Navarro pronto per un ex campione WBC Latino Welterweight nel suo nono incontro?

 

 

 

"E 'un buon combattente, ma sento che il mio stile vincerà qualunque sia il suo cosiddetto vantaggio di esperienza,” ha detto un Navarro fiducioso. "Ero 312-17 da dilettante e lo sono già 8-0 come un pro. Sono stato chiamato come avversario, presumibilmente da perdere, su una carta Golden Boy e uno spettacolo PBC a Miami, e ho messo fuori combattimento entrambi quei ragazzi. Combatto al meglio quando le persone non pensano che io possa vincere".

 

 

 

Per preparare, Navarro si è riunito con l'allenatore Herman Caicedo ed è tornato a ciò che funziona meglio per il power puncher cubano.

 

 

 

"Sto venendo a rottamare. Questa non sarà una partita a scacchi. Stiamo per rottamare. Questo è il mio stile. Vengo a combattere. Aspetto il KO e quando vedo la mia apertura la prendo”.

 

 

 

Navarro dice che non gli dispiace far parte di un insolito "Cuban vs. resa dei conti cubana”.

 

 

 

“Combatterò chiunque. Ho combattuto contro i cubani per tutta la vita a casa, quindi no, non mi dà fastidio. Questo è un affare. Vedi messicano contro messicano e portoricano contro portoricano, quindi perché non può essere Cuba contro Cuba?? I buoni combattenti dovrebbero combattere l'un l'altro, e la crema salirà in superficie. Sono solo affari quando salgo sul ring. Auguro ad Armando tutta la fortuna del mondo. Avrà bisogno di ogni grammo".

 

 

 

Alvarez dice che sa che sembrava vulnerabile nel suo ultimo combattimento, una sconfitta televisiva a livello nazionale contro l'imbattuto Jaron Ennis a luglio, ed è per questo che Navarro è disposto a combatterlo.

 

 

 

Ma Alvarez dice che il Team Navarro ha fatto un grosso errore.

 

 

 

"Sono 100 percento senza infortuni e mentalmente pronto,” ha detto Alvarez. "Questo è ciò che la sua squadra non ha preso in considerazione. Ho combattuto contro Ennis con un infortunio che ha influito negativamente sulla mia prestazione. Si aspettano che Armando Alvarez si faccia vivo quella sera, ma sono pronto a dimostrare che "The Gentleman" è qui ed è vivo. È un buon pugile e viene a combattere, ma dilettante e professionista sono due cose diverse e lui non è pronto".

 

 

 

Alvarez dice che anche lui non crede nel codice non scritto che portano alcuni combattenti che dice che i cubani non possono combattere tra loro.

 

 

 

“È raro che due cubani si fronteggino, ma penso che i migliori dovrebbero combattere i migliori. Non credo nel non combattere un altro cubano. È cubano di Cuba di Cuba. Anche io sono cubano, ma sono nato e cresciuto qui e penso che chiunque possa combattere chiunque altro".

 

 

 

Alvarez dice che non vede l'ora di tornare nella colonna delle vittorie davanti a un folto gruppo di suoi fan.

 

 

 

"Avrò la maggior parte dei sostenitori alla lotta. Avrò un sacco di famiglia e amici. Mi aiuta sempre quando i miei fan sono lì dal vivo. Mi spinge a fare molto di più".

JARON ENNIS KNOCKS OUT PREVIOUSLY UNBEATEN ARMANDO ALVAREZ IN IMPRESSIVE TELEVISION DEBUT IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: IL VENERDI nuova generazione su Showtime

Thomas Mattice Stays Unbeaten With Controversial Split Decision Win Over Zhora Hamazaryan and Montana Love and Kenneth Sims Jr. Battle to Draw In Co-Featured Bouts

SLOAN, Iowa (Luglio 20, 2018) – Jaron Ennis continued his knock out streak in impressive fashion in his ShoBox: La nuova generazione debut on Friday night as the highly-touted prospect from Philadelphia scored a third-round TKO against previously unbeaten Armando Alvarez in an exciting night of fights from WinnaVegas Casino.

 

 

 

The 21-year-old Ennis (21-0, 19 KO), a former National Golden Gloves Champion, dominated the Key West fighter Alvarez (13-1, 7 KO) from the start, knocking him down four times in the third round before the fight was waved off with one second remaining in the round. The win was Ennis’s 11th consecutive knockout in a step-up fight for the welterweight prospect, who appeared composed in the ring from the outset.

 

 

 

I feel so great after this fight,” Ennis said. “I came out and did what we planned on, which was to just get out there and break him down. I wasn’t nervous and I had fun in the ring, I’ve been here before and I’m aware of everything. I’ve been in the ring my entire life and this is always what I’ve been doing.”

 

 

 

Ennis came out aggressive against a game Alvarez and started his attack by going directly to the body. Atterrò 46 percent of his power shots and led 35-8 in body connects during the short fight, which was originally scheduled for 10 round.

 

 

 

Ennis, who has never been past the sixth round, didn’t have plans on making this a long night, as he connected on a left cross to the jaw to put Alvarez on the canvas for the first time after 30 seconds had elapsed in the third round. A delayed-reaction left to the pit of the stomach sent Alvarez down for the second time and a three-punch combination capped by a hook was good for knockdown No. 3.

 

 

 

Referee Adam Pollack waved the fight off with Alvarez on his knees with just one second remaining in the third round following a right uppercut to the chin that ended the fight.

 

 

 

“Alvarez was just another opponent,” said Ennis, who out-landed Alvarez 23-3 in power punches in the final round. “He’s a great fighter but it feels like I’ve been here before. I’ve been fighting forever so it was nothing new. I’ve been doing this since I was a kid.”

 

 

 

Ennis’s two older brothers have both fought previously on ShoBox but came up with losses. “This was my coming out party and it really feels great to be the third Ennis to fight on ShoBox,” Ennis continued.

 

 

 

The previously undefeated Alvarez became the second fighter of the night to lose his undefeated record and the 176th overall in the history of the ShoBox serie, which this week celebrated 17 years since its inception in July of 2001.

 

 

 

He was faster than I expected and I didn’t execute my game plan,"Ha detto Alvarez. “I was supposed to pressure and I didn’t. He hit me with a surprising shot. He had enough power that I had to respect him. He was just the better man tonight.”

 

 

 

In middle fight of the tripleheader, undefeated Thomas Mattice overcame a knockdown in the second round to escape with a controversial eight-round split decision victory over Armenian Zhora Hamazaryan. Due giudici hanno segnato la lotta 76-75 in favor of Mattice with the third judge scoring it 77-74 in favor of Hamazaryan.

ShoBox commentator Steve Farhood had Hamazaryan (9-1, 6 KO) winning by a score of 78-73. “That was the worst decision I’ve seen in the history of ShoBox,"Ha detto Farhood.

 

 

 

Mattice (13-0, 10 KO) said he thought he did enough to win the fight, even though he was floored by a devastating right hook from Hamazaryan at 2:30 nel secondo turno.

 

 

 

“Tonight wasn’t my best performance,” Mattice said. “I felt like I Iost the few early rounds. [Hamazaryan] landed some clean shots and he’s a crazy competitor; he wasn’t giving me anything. Credo che la decisione è stata giusta. I out-jabbed him and it may have looked like he was hitting me more but he wasn’t really touching me. The crowd was going crazy over him tapping my gloves. I outpointed him overall.”

 

 

 

Hamazaryan’s pressure enabled him to work his way inside and render Mattice’s normally powerful jab mostly ineffective, as he landed just 19 percent of his jabs. Besides scoring the fight’s only knockdown in round two,Hamazaryan controlled the seventh round and applied more pressure than Mattice in the final three rounds.

 

 

 

“I am extremely upset,” said Hamazaryan, who was fighting for the second time in the U.S. “I deserve a lot more being here in the United States. I worked many years for this opportunity, and for the judges to take it from me is just terrible. I know I won. I’m always a champion. I have already talked to my team and we are going to protest this fight to the right outcome and we will give him a rematch.

 

 

 

Ha aggiunto: “I knocked him down, hurt him several more times and dominated the fight. And how could they just take this from me.”

 

 

 

In apertura trasmissione televisiva, young super lightweight prospects Montana Love (11-0-1, 5 KO) of Cleveland and Kenneth Sims Jr. (12-1-1, 4 KO) of Chicago fought to an eight-round split draw. I giudici ha segnato la lotta 77-75 for Love, 77-75 for Sims and 76-76.

 

 

 

The action-packed fight was fought in flurries as both fighters came out swinging. Sims was the busier and more accurate fighter, throwing a total of 638 punches and connecting on 211 (33 cento) while Love threw 529 punches and connected on 159 (30 cento).

 

 

 

“I worked well in the beginning even though I was a little rusty,” said Sims, 24, who had not fought in more than a year because of right elbow surgery. “I slacked off in the middle rounds, and picked it up in the last three. Ho pensato che ho vinto la battaglia, but I can’t complain. I haven’t fought in a year and I feel like I am a stronger and a better fighter than I was then.”

 

 

 

In his second appearance on the series, the 23-year-old Love came alive in the middle rounds, highlighted by a blistering right hook midway through the fifth round that knocked out Sims’s mouthpiece.

 

 

 

“Today wasn’t my best day and I just wasn’t able to get in to a groove,” said Love, who fought against Sims when the two were teenagers in the amateurs. “I definitely didn’t fight my best. I felt good in the third and fourth rounds.

 

 

 

 

“We definitely want a rematch,” Love continued. “Today was an off day but we hundred percent want a rematch and want to fight again, wherever and whenever.”

 

 

 

Friday’s tripleheader will replay on Monday, Luglio 23 a 10 p.m. ET / PT su Showtime Extreme e sarà disponibile su Showtime QUALSIASI MOMENTO® e SHOWTIME On Demand®.

 

 

 

Barry Tompkins called the action from ringside with boxing historian Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. The executive producer was Gordon Hall with Richard Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.

Love is a good fighter,” Sims said. “We fought when we were kids. We were about 15 Anni. I won that fight, but that does not mean anything as we head into this fight.

 

 

 

Sims has extra motivation, as he feels that in the loss to Chinea, he was not at his best physically, and he vows to put on a great performance.

 

 

 

I am super motivated. The last fight upped my motivation. È fantastico, to see some of the people who have rooted for me in the past are now saying negative stuff about me. A win will get me back on track. I have been sparring with Regis Prograis, and that has lifted my game up even more.

Solo 20 anni, Ennis currently trains under his father Derek “Bozy” Ennis Sr., who also trained his other sons Derek Jr. and Farah. The 5-foot-10 Ennis will be the third brother to appear on ShoBox; Derek Jr. appeared on the series in 2007, and Farah faced Badou Jack on the series in 2013.

 

 

 

“A win on this platform would mean everything,” Ennis continued. “From here on out, I want to fight only the big names in the division. I feel grateful for this opportunity to show the world my talents and skills. It’s great to follow in my brother’s footsteps, and I am ready to take the Ennis last name to the next level.”

 

 

 

The 28-year-old Alvarez turned professional in 2014 and has gradually increased his level of opposition. Alvarez, who now lives in Key West, compilato un 26-4 amateur record and won the Florida State Championship in 2013. His headlining fight with Ennis will be his second fight of 2018 and by far his toughest test to date.

 

 

 

“This is the biggest opportunity I have ever received,"Ha detto Alvarez. “This is it. It’s on. Ennis is a great young fighter, but I think he has stepped out of his league. He is just a kid. The world will find out who Armando Alvarez is on July 20.”

 

THOMAS MATTICE vs. ZHORA HAMAZARYAN – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout

A 27-year-old from Cleveland, Mattice turned pro in 2014 and had an amateur record of 72-18. He was a three-time Ohio State Golden Gloves Champion and bronze medal winner in the USA National Tournament in 2014.

 

 

 

Mattice will be making his second ShoBox appearance following a strong debut Feb. 2, when the undefeated lightweight rallied from behind to score a seventh round TKO of ShoBox veteran Rolando Chinea. Mattice has recorded five straight KOs and nine overall in 11 combattimenti professionali.

 

 

 

“I am excited for the opportunity to showcase my talent again on ShoBox," Mattice said. “I’m going to go out there and do what I did before. I’m going to get a win, hopefully in knockout fashion. Questo ragazzo (Hamazaryan) doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into.”

 

 

 

Undefeated lightweight prospect Hamazaryan, who signed with Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing in February, is originally from Armenia but fights out of Los Angeles. Part of a long line of Armenian fighters who have fought in the U.S., Hamazaryan won his U.S. debut on Feb. 16, when he scored a unanimous decision win over the previously unbeaten Sergio Ramirez. Prior to his win against Ramirez, all of Hamazaryan’s victories were earned in Russia.

 

 

 

The 22-year-old was considered the No. 1 fighter in Armenia after an amateur career that spanned over 200 combattimenti. Hamazaryan turned professional in 2015, turning down an opportunity to fight for the Armenian Olympic Team in 2016.

 

 

 

“This fight is very important for me, and I am very excited to be fighting on national television in America,” Hamazaryan said. “I know [Mattice] is undefeated but I normally don’t look at my opponent. I’m just looking to put on a great performance and make a statement for fans in the U.S.”

 

MONTANA LOVE vs. KENNETH SIMS JR. – Eight-Round Super Lightweight Bout

Cleveland native Love was an accomplished amateur who compiled a 174-13 registrare e ha vinto una medaglia di bronzo al 2012 National Golden Gloves Championships. The 22-year-old recently sparred with Adrien Broner, and served as head sparring partner for Robert Easter Jr. before his lightweight title defense against Javier Fortuna on Jan. 20.

 

 

 

Love has won two consecutive bouts against lesser opposition since defeating Samuel Teah in his ShoBox debut on Feb. 2.

 

 

 

“I am excited and happy to be back,” Love said. “I want to put on another great performance. Sims and I grew up as amateurs together. E 'un buon combattente, but I am hungry and want to keep rolling. I can’t let anything get in my way.”

 

 

 

Chicago native Sims makes his return to ShoBox just over a year after suffering the first loss of his career against Rolando Chinea via close majority decision in what was his toughest test to date. The 24-year-old Sims, who has sparred with Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, è stato un 2013 U.S. National Amateur Champion and a 2012 Olympic Trials semifinalist.

 

 

 

“I am happy to be back fighting after having surgery on my elbow that had been bothering me for the last year and a half,” Sims said. “This is my chance to prove that I’m back and the loss on ShoBox was a fluke. I remember Love from the amateurs and I know I have what it takes to beat him.”

Olympian Nico Hernandez remains undefeated Tramaine Williams, Armando Alvarez & Zhilei Zhang victorious

PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO
KO NIGHT BOXINGRESULTS FROM KANSAS
PALM CITY, Kansas (Settembre 24, 2017) – The name of last night’s “KO notte Boxing: Step Upevent certainly was appropriate as 2016 Medaglia di bronzo olimpica Nico Hernandez had to overcome a major obstacle to remain undefeated at Hartman Arena in Palm City, Kansas.
“KO notte Boxing: Step Up!” was a presentation of KO Night Boxing LLC., in associazione con Roc Nation Sports e Hartman Arena, sponsored by Mort’s Cigar Bar, Jimmy Egg and Twister City Harley-Davidson. The action was taped live for future airing on CBS Sports Network.
St. Louis southpaw Kendrick “Uprising” Latchman outweighed regular flyweight Hernandez by more than 10 pounds when the two fighters entered the ring because Hernandezscheduled opponent, Basyzbek Baratov (2-1-2), abruptly pulled out of the fight after the weigh in due to a contractual disagreement. Hernandez weighed in at 113 libbre, Baratov was 112, which was the contracted weight. The Kansas Athletic Commission, tuttavia, automatically allows one-pound over for all non-title fights. Baratov refused to fight but Latchman agreed to fight at a 125-pound catchweight. Hernandez gained four pounds and the fight was on.
Wichita hero Hernandez was unmoved by the late change, largely due to his standout amateur career, in which his opponents often changed at the last moment. Latchman (1-5-1, 1 KO) is a pro boxer-MMA hybrid fighter who is 6-3 (5 KO) in MMA, including a 55-second stoppage of 14-7-1 Cody Land lo scorso luglio.
Latchman buzzed Hernandez in the first round, much to the chagrin of the Hernandezloud hometown crowd. The U.S. Olympian displayed a good chin and went on to win a six-round unanimous decision to improve his pro record to 3-0 (2 KO).
They (his corner and fans) were nervous,” the 21-year-old Hernandez said after the fight, “ma non ero. My coach (father Lewis Hernandez) told me to feint and go in, but I lunged a little too much. Ehi, I’m staying in my division (peso mosca) before moving up in weight.
Nico had to step up, fighting a new opponent on 24-hour notice, along with the difference in their weights,” promotore John Andersen commentato. “Everything turned out okay but it wasn’t an easy fight. My palms were a little sweaty in the first round when he got hit hard, but Nico pulled out the win and he’ll be an even better fighter because of this experience. His father said Nico had never been hit like that before. It was a good card and the crowed was really into it.
KO Night Boxing LLC announced that Hernandez would return Dicembre 2 to headline another show at Hartman Arena.
USBA No. 2- rated featherweight Tramaine “The Might Midget” Williams (13-0, 5 KO), fighting out of New Haven (CT), cruised to his 13th victory without a defeat, taking a one-sided 10-round unanimous decision over Derrick Murray (13-3, 5 KO), nell'evento co-presentato.

In the most dramatic fight of the night, Los Angeles heavyweight Scott Alexander (13-2-2, 7 KO) rebounded from being decked, as well as a pre-fight cut, to knockout 361-pound Richard “Silverback” Carmack (15-12-1, 12 KO) nel secondo turno. Alexander suffered a cut on his shin that resulted from a step breaking as he entered the ring.
Milwaukee junior middleweight Akeem nero (3-1, 1 KO) won three of four rounds on all three judgesscorecards for a four-round unanimous decision over Marcus Neal (2-2, 2 KO).
