Ruben Villa Receives Local Award for Community Building Efforts


POUR DIFFUSION IMMÉDIATE
ORANGE, Californie. (Août. 10, 2017) – Villa Ruben (7-0, 4 KOs), one of boxing’s brightest, young talents in the featherweight division, recently received an award for his community building presence in his hometown of Salinas, Californie.
The Monterey County Board of Supervisors recognized Team Villa Boxing, a non-profit gym, for creating a safe space for low-income youths in East Salinas. Through grants, Team Villa Boxing offers free boxing and physical fitness lessons to select youths.
I was really surprised that we were honored with the award because we only found out about it the day before,” Villa said. “We are obviously very happy about it, but we don’t do it for the recognition. It’s all about helping the community. There’s not much opportunity out here so we have to give the kids additional chances to succeed.
Ruben cares about his community and wants to be a positive role model to the local kids,” said Danny Zamora, Villa’s manager. “The gym offers a safe and productive outlet for young kids and keeps them from getting into trouble.
For those that are unaware, Salinas has an ongoing struggle with drug related gang violence. The Villa family, in an effort to pull local kids away from a life of crime, formed the gym three years ago. When not conducting training camps in Riverside, Calif., Villa stays sharp at the gym that bears his name.
Villa received the honor as part of theNational Night Outevent hosted by the City of Salinas.
The public awareness event, which drew thousands to the Salinas Soccer Complex, aimed to strengthen community relations with law enforcement and other public safety personnel such as firefighters and first responders.
Villa marks his return to the ring on a Thompson Boxing card Vendredi, Sept. 22 from the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, Californie. An opponent will be announced at a later date.
Villa est promue par Banner Promotions et Thompson Boxing.

OXON HILL, MD. (Avril 15, 2017) - Invaincu WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Titlist Dmitry Bivol a renversé Samuel Clarkson trois fois en route vers un TKO de quatrième ronde Vendredi dans l'événement principal deShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération en direct sur SHOWTIME depuis MGM National Harbour.

 

Buffle (10-0, 8 KOs) est désormais le challenger obligatoire pour WBA (régulier) Nathan Cleverly, champion du monde des poids lourds légers.

 

Bivol a traqué Clarkson depuis la cloche d'ouverture. L'ancien amateur russe vedette a terrassé Clarkson en ouverture 30 secondes avec une série de tirs, puis l'a renversé une minute plus tard avec une droite droite. Clarkson (19-4, 12 KOs) a survécu à la manche mais n'a pas bien répondu aux problèmes et n'a pas pu perturber le rythme et l'incroyable précision de Bivol.

 

Clarkson a été renversé pour la troisième fois quand il a semblé entrer dans une grande droite au milieu de la quatrième, obligeant l'arbitre Harvey Dock à interrompre le concours à 1:40 alors que Clarkson luttait pour se relever. Bivol a atterri 46 pour cent de ses coups puissants sur les quatre rounds par rapport à seulement 17 pour cent pour Clarkson.

 

«Je pensais que je finirais avec lui au premier tour, mais je pense que c'était mieux que ça passe à quatre rounds parce que les fans ont pu voir comment je me bats,”A déclaré Bivol.

 

«Je suis définitivement prêt pour mon titre contre (Nathan) Intelligemment dans mon prochain combat. Je suis prêt. "

 

Clarkson était entré dans le ShoBox Main Event sur une séquence de neuf victoires consécutives.

 

“Il m'a attrapé avec un bon coup de corps pour le premier renversement,”A déclaré Clarkson. «Je pensais que j'étais de retour dans le combat aux deuxième et troisième tours. Au quatrième tour, je me suis fait prendre, J'ai trébuché et mon équilibre était déséquilibré.”

 

L'espoir des poids welters Malik Hawkins a conservé son record invaincu avec un TKO dominant au deuxième tour de Carlos Soto précédemment invaincu dans le ShoBox co-métrage.

 

Hawkins (11-0, 8 KOs) a attaqué tôt et a pratiquement fermé l’œil gauche de Soto à la fin du premier tour. Soto a pris un genou dans les dernières secondes du tour mais a survécu, bien que sa vision était clairement altérée.

 

Hawkins a débarqué Soto 39-15 dans la seconde, y compris 15-1 dans la dernière minute. Le médecin du ring a statué que Soto (13-1-2, 7 KOs) ne pouvait plus voir de son œil gauche après le deuxième tour et a quitté le concours.

 

“Travail acharné et dévouement. J'ai eu un camp fort et je crois en mon équipe,»A déclaré Hawkins, qui est formé par Calvin Ford de Baltimore et est un compagnon stable de la Championne IBF Junior Lightweight Gervonta Davis. «Ce qui le rend encore plus spécial, c'est la bénédiction de mon premier-né.”

 

“Je veux crier à mon adversaire. Il était grand, il était fort, il était durable et il était invaincu.”

 

Soto est devenu le 163 combattant pour subir sa première défaite sur ShoBox.

 

Dans un match de super poids coq invaincus dans le combat d'ouverture de la ShoBox émission de télévision, Glenn Dezurn a devancé de peu Leroy Davila pour donner à ce dernier sa première défaite en carrière dans un va-et-vient marqué 78-74 par les trois juges.

 

Le natif de Baltimore Dezurn (9-0, 6 KOs) semblait lancer les coups les plus durs et était plus efficace en se battant à l'intérieur contre Davila (5-1, 3 KOs), qui était naturellement le plus petit des deux. Alors que Dezurn était le combattant le plus actif - il a jeté presque 100 plus de coups de poing au cours du combat de huit tours - les tours finaux ont été extrêmement difficiles à marquer car les combattants ont atterri en huit coups au total au cours des trois derniers tours.

 

“Je suis entré dans le combat avec les meilleurs entraîneurs du monde, Je m'entraîne dans la meilleure salle de sport du monde. J'ai la meilleure équipe du monde et, surtout, J'ai la meilleure épouse et la meilleure partenaire d'entraînement du monde,»Dit Dezurn, qui s'entraîne avec Barry Hunter à Washington, À courant continu, et spars avec sa femme, boxeuse professionnelle et ancienne huit fois championne nationale amateur Franchon Crews.

 

“Mon équipe m'a dit que tout l'entraînement et le combat que je fais étaient plus durs que ce combat lui-même. Le combat que je fais chaque jour est plus dur. Je n'allais pas me manquer pendant ce combat quand ce que je fais chaque jour est plus difficile et quand tous mes amis et ma famille sont venus me soutenir.”

 

Davila est devenu le 162 combattant à subir sa première défaite sur la série de développement prospect.

 

"Ce soir il ne s’agit pas de gagner ou de perdre j’ai montré que j’ai un chien en moi. J'ai répondu à cette question,”A déclaré Davila. «Je suis sorti du plan de match et aurais dû écouter mon corner. La taille a joué un petit rôle dans le combat, mais je ne fais aucune excuse. J'ai déjà vu de petits hommes assommer de grands hommes.

 

L'événement a été promu par Greg Cohen Promotions et Promotions Banner en association avecMonde de la boxe et Promotions de soulèvement.

 

Vendredi de tripleheader rejouera sur Lundi, Avril 17 à 10 p.m. ET/PT sur SHOWTIME EXTREME et sera disponible sur SHOWTIME sur DEMAND® et SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

CITATIONS FINALES:

 

DMITRY BIVOL:

«Le plan était de devenir champion du monde lors de ma première 10 combats. Nous y sommes presque.

 

«Clarkson est un gros poids lourd léger, mais j'ai combattu des mecs plus gros. Ceci est un combat difficile, mais nous étions prêts à prendre un risque pour cette opportunité de se battre à la télé.

 

«J'ai fait une transition d'amateur à pro. Le BMS a aidé cette transition et m'a donné de l'expérience. J'ai pu apprendre de combat en combat, et j'ai acquis de l'expérience dans chaque combat.

 

«J'ai essayé d'être plus agressif et de contrôler le rythme du combat. Je suis à l'aise pour avancer et reculer.

 

«Nous ressentirons la puissance et le timing au début. Je sais ce que les gens attendent de moi - ils veulent le KO - et si l'occasion se présente, j'essaierai de le finir.

 

«Travailler chez Wild Card a été une grande différence. Formation aux États-Unis. est complètement différent. En Russie, ce sont surtout des amateurs, donc vous vous habituez au mauvais style. La plupart de ce que j’ai appris a été de me disputer avec des pros ici aux États-Unis..

 

«Clarkson se présente généralement. Il semble mal à l'aise de revenir en arrière. Nous pensons que nous pouvons utiliser nos avantages pour plafonner ses erreurs et le sortir de sa zone de confort.

 

SAMUEL CLARKSON:

«Je ne suis pas un outsider. Je me suis battu ici pour atteindre cette position et la séquence de victoires. J'ai l'impression d'avoir prouvé que j'étais ici. Mes pertes m'ont aidé à arriver là où je suis. Je sais que j'appartiens ici.

 

"Je n'ai jamais été du genre à me faire renverser et à rester à terre. Je suis prêt pour tout ce qui vient. La pression n'est pas sur moi. I just need to do my thing.

 

“I’ve been in some wars. I know what it’s like to get knocked down. He hasn’t been there before. I need to stand my ground. I’m not backing up.

 

«Je veux voir de quoi parle le battage médiatique. His whole career is my winning streak.

 

“I’ve been sparring with top quality guys. Je suis prêt pour ce combat. It’s a big opportunity and I don’t feel any pressure.

 

“He hasn’t been in wars like we have. It’s hard when you face a guy like me that isn’t afraid of you. He’s one dimensional. We want to make him as uncomfortable as possible.

 

“We’re coming to take his belt. He’s going to have to stop us from taking it. He’s never faced anyone like me – a really fast fighter with a lot of power.”

CARLOS SOTO:

“I’ll do whatever it takes. If I have to come forward, I’ll come forward. If I have to box, I’ll box.

 

“Hawkins a smart fighter, rapide, tall. He likes to fight at a distance. I need to pressure him to win the fight.

 

“I’ve faced fighters as tall as him before. This isn’t new for me.

 

“I’ve only been in the U.S. once before, and I’ve never fought here. I need to take advantage of this experience.

 

“My goal is to go for it. I want to be the best in my weight class. Everything starts now for me.”

 

MALIK HAWKINS:

“I grew up with Gervonta (Davis). I saw him win the title, I’ve seen his success, and now it’s my turn. It’s been great motivation for me. For him to become a champion motivated me even more.

 

“We’ve sparred 1,000’s of rounds with Gervonta. We’ve been in there with the champ and know it’s our time.

 

“We’re here to prove we’re ready. We don’t want to take any shortcuts. We’re taking this one fight at a time. We’re building and building.

 

“I’m tall, but I have an inside game. I fight inside better than a short fighter.

 

“People don’t want to take the chance to fight me. Credit to Soto for taking the fight, but he’s going to learn the hard way why no one wants to fight me.”

 

LEROY DAVILA

 

“We knew this was coming some day and now it’s here. We know all about Dezurn. He’s the perfect opponent for us. We know can break him down.

 

“When I didn’t make the Olympic team, I got right over it. But I wasn’t sure I was going to turn pro. I have a family to take care of and I can’t let anything distract me from being a father. But now I’m 5-0 and fighting on national TV. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for.

 

“Dezurn is an aggressive and has a lot of heart, but I’m not worried about him. I need to focus on myself.

 

“A win puts me in the conversation with the other up-and-coming fighters. A win could really change my career.”

 

GLENN DEZURN:

 

“Sparring with my wife helps me. She hits like a dude. She’s taught me a lot – she taught me discipline. We push each other in the gym; we make each other better fighters.

 

“If you can make an adjustment with a sharp female woman, there’s no reason you can’t do it with a man.

 

“I like to break down my opponents. I become aggressive when I see a weakness.

 

“I’m ready to fight. I’m ready to get in there. I worked hard and now it’s time to have fun.

 

“I sparred with Rau’Shee (Garenne) pour ce combat. He has tremendous talent. He’s an inspiration for me. We also sparred with Vasyl Lomachenko for this fight. You have to be physically and mentally in shape to fight him.”

DMITRY BIVOL TRAINING CAMP QUOTES IN ADVANCE OF SHOBOX: LA NOUVELLE GÉNÉRATION

 

Vendredi, Avril 14 En direct sur Showtime

From The Theater at MGM National Harbor in Maryland

Undefeated former Russian amateur standout Dmitry Bivol will defend his Interim WBA Light Heavyweight Title against Samuel Clarkson in the 12-round main event of ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération sur Vendredi, Avril 14 survivre AFFICHER L'HEURE(10 p.m. ET/PT) at The Theater at MGM National Harbor in National Harbor, Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C.

 

Known for his aggressive style, the 26-year-old Bivol (9-0, 7 KOs, 2-0 WSB) was a decorated amateur and former Russian National Champion at 178 livres, who is now determined to make his mark in one of boxing’s toughest weight classes. Clarkson (19-3, 12 KOs), de Cedar Hill, Texas, has won his last nine fights in a row and will make his third appearance onShoBox.

 

Bivol is managed by Los Angeles-based Vadim Konilov and trained by Gennady Mashianov. He has recently ended his sparring sessions at both Wild Card Gym and Wild Card West in Southern California where he has been training in the same camp with fellow countryman and 2010 European super heavyweight amateur gold medalist Sergey Kuzmin.

 

Here’s a quick question and answer session through an interpreter after visiting with Bivol at the apartment where he has been residing for the past five weeks in the heart of Hollywood.

 

Question: Global, how would you assess how your training camp went?

 

Buffle: “I think that training camp went very good. One of the reasons I decided to come to Southern California to train was that there are so many different sparring partners here. We had a very spirited camp and I consider myself ready for the fight.”

 

Question: What kind of fight do you expect from such a strong opponent as Samuel Clarkson?

Buffle: “I’m expecting for him to get in the ring and push himself and come forward. I know he’ll come out aggressive and try to put the pressure on me. We’ll see.”

 

Question: You are young and have only nine pro fights, but are already fighting to defend an interim world title. Are you happy with the way your pro career has started?

 

Buffle: “To be honest, I don’t really ever think about the belt and the interim title. For me the main WBA belt is the most important one and I want to stay at the top of the rankings to get it. As far as my career going too fast, I don’t believe so. I think I have more than enough experience in the amateurs and that I’ve aligned myself with the best trainer and sparring partners out there. So I’m happy where my career is at right now. I don’t think it’s progressing too fast.”

 

Question: There are some that are picking this fight as 50/50? Why do you think they are predicting this fight can go either way?"

 

Buffle: “This is boxing and I think there are a lot of fights that are 50/50. Tout peut arriver. You never know; upsets can happen at any time. For me this is step-up fight. Not only because of how good my opponent is, but also because of what it means to me. Winning this fight will open the door to many opportunities.”

 

Question: How important is it to put on a good show and put on an exciting performance fighting in your first main event on SHOWTIME?

 

Buffle: “Sure everything is amped up a little bit more because it’s on SHOWTIME. But every time I step into the ring I want to put on a good show for the fans. Ce temps, probably a little bit more so, but the most important thing is to get the win.”

 

Question: Is there one weaknesses you have worked on during this training camp?

Buffle: “I don’t think there are any weaknesses, so it’s been like any other training camp. I can’t talk about what I’ve been preparing for from my opponent. You will have to wait and see it in the ring.”

 

Question: What do you think about training in Southern California?

Buffle: “I love everything about it. The best thing though is the weather. In my hometown city in Russia, St. Pétersbourg, we don’t have weather like this. I like the atmosphere here and the people and where we train. I just like it all.”

 

Question: You have a large collection of amateur medals. Where are they displayed?

 

Buffle: “I keep them all in one place in my parents’ home. We don’t think we deserve them all. It is something they are very proud of.”

 

Question: What do you think about the other top Russian boxers like Ruslan Provodnikov and Sergey Kovalev?

Buffle: “I respect them all. There are some that are very famous in Russia, but also very famous here. And I see that. They are really good fighters and I’m ready to be at that same level, if not even at a higher level. I’m not in this sport just to stay in shape, I’m here to show and prove that I can be the best in the world.”

UNDEFEATED WELTERWEIGHT PROSPECTS MALIK HAWKINS AND CARLOS SOTO MEET ON FRIDAY, Avril 14 IN SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION CO-FEATURE

 

En direct sur Showtime® From The Theater at MGM National Harbor in Maryland

NEW YORK (Avril 6, 2017) - Perspective poids welter invaincu Malik “Ice Man” Hawkins meets fellow unbeaten Carlos Soto dans la co-métrage de huit rondes de ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération sur Vendredi, Avril 14 en direct sur Showtime (10 p.m.ET/PT) à partir de The Theater at MGM National Harbor, MD., just outside Washington, D.C.

 

Malik was originally scheduled to face Venezuelan amateur standout Juan Ruiz, but due to an injury in his right hand, Ruiz was forced to withdraw.

 

Dans l'événement principal de la ShoBox tripleheader, former Russian amateur standout Dmitry Bivol defends his interim WBA Light Heavyweight belt against Samuel Clarkson and unbeaten Glenn Dezurn meets two-time national amateur champion Leroy Davila in an eight-round super bantamweight showdown.

 

Les billets pour l'événement, qui est promu par Greg Cohen Promotions et Promotions Banner en association avec Monde de la boxe etPromotions de soulèvement, sont au prix de $103, $73 et $48 et peuvent être achetés à Ticketmaster.com ou par téléphone au 800-745-3000.

 

Malik, (10-0, 7 KOs), de Baltimore, Maryland, amassed a 92-8 record in the amateurs and won the Bronze Medal in the 2012 Jeux olympiques juniors. He shares the same trainer –Calvin Ford– with stablemate and IBF Junior Lightweight Champion Gervonta Davis.

 

“I’m excited and eager to get in the ring,” said 21-year-old Hawkins, “My new opponent is another reason for me to stay focused and work ever harder. There’s a lot at stake for me. This is the first step to give my child the life I never had.

 

“I don’t know anything about the dude,” he laughed, “But I never really look up at who I’m fighting anyway. Training is going great and I’m in the best shape I have ever been in my career. I can feel it; it’s going to be an epic night for me.”

 

With a new mouth to feed, just before the biggest fight of his career, Hawkins could be excused for feeling some extra pressure. “I’ve fought on TV before, but there’s no doubt this is a bigger stage. I can’t say how I will win, but let’s just say that by the end of the fight, you’ll all know I won.”

 

 

Fourré, (13-0-2, 7 KOs), a seven-year pro from Torreon, Mexico is making his United States and television debut. He’s coming off of a third-round TKO over Alonso Martinez in February following a three-year hiatus due to issues with his promoter. He’s a licensed engineer and a full time, CrossFit-certified personal trainer and.

 

I’ve been active in the gym and I’m very confident in my abilities,” said the 28-year-old. “I’ve been training for about a year, and I’ve been in fighting shape for about a year. I also ran two marathons during that time.

 

I see myself as a boxer-puncher. I can box on the outside, but I can also mix it up on the inside. I’m intelligent in the ring and aggressive – I can go forward – but I have the option to either box or punch. I can be effective either way, depending on how the fight goes.

 

I’ve seen a couple of videos of Malik Hawkins. Il est grand, he’s got good distance. He’s fast and intelligent, but I haven’t seen him put together many punches. I see him more as a passive, tactical type fighter, not someone who’s going to be aggressive like me.

 

I’m there to fight, I won’t ever quit on my stool. I’ve got a lot of heart and a lot of desire. I’m very proud of my undefeated record, and I’m very motivated to keep my winning streak alive.”

Hurd of Accokeek, Maryland a un dossier de 2-0 avec un KO, and is the brother of current IBF Junior Middleweight champion, Jarrett Hurd.
Le 23 year-old Justin Hurd had an 18 bout amateur career, and like his brother, he is trained by Ernesto Rodriguez.
My training has been great I have been staying ready, and I am excited to fight at MGM National Harbor. I expect to have a lot of fans at the fight,” Saïd Hurd.
Being around an accomplished brother, Hurd is grateful for the success that Jarrett has achieved and has learned a lot from the journey that garnered Jarrett a world title.
Jarrett has opened a lot of doors, but when people see us fight they will see that our styles our different. Il a le pouvoir, and I go by the name of “Lisse” Justin Hurd. I like to use my combinations and I show my quickness.
That is a sentiment that trainer Rodriguez echoes.
Justin is different then Jarrett. He uses hand-speed, Jarrett uses his size. You will see that Justin fights in much of the same manner of Meldrick Taylor, and he mixes in some deceiving power,” dit Rodriguez. “Justin is electric, and is calculating with good reflexes. He will be a force to be reckoned with. He is fighting at 154 pounds now, but we will slowly be taking him to 147.
Justin Hurd considers himself a real student of the game and has followed the advice of both his big brother and trainer.
What I have learned by watching Jarrett go through his run is to listen to our trainers. I learned that my trainers tell us what to do for good reason. Avec cela à l'esprit, I just am ready to put on a show and am grateful to be added to the card on April 14th.”
Hurd joins Hasim Rahman, Jr., Ruben Villa and Michael Dutchover on the non-televised undercard.

I upped intensity 1000 times for this camp,” said Clarkson. “I had better sparring, did more miles running and way more rounds doing bag work. Everything I’ve done has been intense and we added a lot more into it.

I’ve been working with guys like Sean Monaghan et Joe Smith Jr. I’ve had over 110 rounds of sparring since coming to Brooklyn. I wanted to push my sparring to the max.

HASIM RAHMAN JR. PRO DEBUT MOVED TO FRIDAY, Avril 14 MGM NATIONAL HARBOR IN OXON HILL, MD

RAHMAN TO FACE IMES ON UNDERCARD OF BLOCKBUSTER SHOBOX EVENT
NEW YORK (Mars 27, 2017) – When promoter Greg Cohen announced he had finalized arrangements for his next event, the decision to delay his promising heavyweight hopeful, Hasim Rahman Jr.'S, professional boxing debut two more weeks became an easy one.
Originally scheduled to turn professional on March 23, Baltimore native Rahman will now have his first four-round fight in front of a huge contingent of hometown family and friends on Vendredi, Avril 14, à MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Md.
Rahman will face Kansas City’s Brian Imes (1-4, 1 KO) on the non-televised undercard portion of an event that features the live telecast of undefeated Dmitry Bivol defending his interim WBA Light Heavyweight title contre Samuel Clarkson in the 12-round main event of a ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération tripleheader (10 p.m. ET/PT).

Les billets pour l'événement, which is co-promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions et Promotions Banner en association avec Monde de la boxe et Promotions de soulèvement, sont au prix de $103, $73 et $48 et peuvent être achetés à www.TicketMaster.com.
You only get one pro debut, so when Greg announced this show, he and I thought it would be a great idea for me to turn pro on this show instead, in front of my hometown friends and family,” explained Rahman.
Le jeune de 25 ans, son of Hasim “The Rock” Rahman, who famously knocked out Lennox Lewis in April 2001 to win the WBC and IBF Heavyweight Championships, says to being at home is a very important part of his mission.
I’m doing this for my family and my friends and my city, so I think I should start right in front of them,” Rahman continued. “And someday I’ll bring them back the heavyweight championship. I can’t wait to fight on the same show as my brother with all my loved ones watching. It’s going to be a very big night.
We didn’t get the final word we were doing the Maryland show until a few days ago,” a déclaré Greg Cohen. “But once we knew it was happening, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to let Hasim Jr. turn pro at home. It just worked out perfectly.
