BJ Flores Boxing to wszechstronny facet


(L-R) – BJ Flores & Shumenov Beibu

Colorado Springs, Zakładka. (Lipiec 23, 2020) — Wielokrotny pretendent do tytułu mistrza świata i odznaczony bokser amator BJ “Niebezpieczeństwo” Kwiaty nigdy tak naprawdę nie miałam szans. Urodził się w rodzinie bokserskiej i obecnie 41-letni Flores z pewnością wykorzystał to najlepiej.

Flores jest wszechstronnym facetem w boksie: bokser, komentator telewizji kolorowej, i trener.

Jego ojciec, Ralph Flores, był wojskowym, który zarobił “kości trenerskie boksu” przez Kenny Adams, główny trener 1988 Bokserska drużyna olimpijska USA i asystent trenera cztery lata wcześniej. W tym olimpijska drużyna bokserska USA z 1988 roku Roy Jones, Jr., Riddick Bowe, Ray Mercer, Andrew Maynard i Kennedy McKinney.

BJ zaczął chodzić na siłownię z ojcem, gdy miał cztery lata. Jego dziadek i starszy brat również byli bokserem. “Mój ojciec nie był bokserem, ale nauczył się trenować boks od asystowania Kenny'emu Adamsowi,” BJ wyjaśnił. “Zakochał się w boksie pracując z Kennym i nauczył się go uczyć. Kenny nadal jest dla mnie jak dziadek.”

Flores kochał również piłkę nożną i zaoferowano mu pełne stypendium na Uniwersytet Brighama Younga. Wziął dwa lata wolnego od BYU, aby służyć na misji dla Kościoła Świętych w Dniach Ostatnich w Meksyku, gdzie mieszkał w jednej z najbiedniejszych części Meksyku w Culiacan. Zaczął tam trenować na tej samej siłowni, gdzie legendarny Julio Cesar Chavez szkolony jako dziecko. Do widzenia, piłka nożna.

Jako bokser amator, Flores miał superlatyw 110-11 rekord, podkreślone złotymi medalami na 1997 Narodowe Złote Rękawiczki i 2000 Western Trials, dodatkowo 2001 & 2002 Mistrzostwa USA w wadze ciężkiej. Był jedynym Amerykaninem, który zdobył złoto 2002 z 4 Turniej Narodów w Alabamie kontra Niemcy, Francja i Australia.

Flores wycelował w miejsce do cumowania 2004 Olimpijska drużyna bokserska USA, i był czołowym pretendentem, jednak, otrzymał od Main Events ofertę przejścia na zawodowstwo, którą BJ określił jako zbyt lukratywną, by z niej zrezygnować.

“BJ zdobył karierę jako bokser amator, zawodowy bokser, a nadawca plasuje go w czołówce wszechstronnych amerykańskich absolwentów boksu,” powiedział Chris Cugliari, Dyrektor Boks Stowarzyszenie Absolwentów USA. “Jego cenne doświadczenia na ringu i poza nim stanowią doskonały przykład dla następnego pokolenia mistrzów.”

Flores walczył zawodowo od 2003 do 2018, kompilowanie bryły 34-4-1 (21 KO) rekord, w tym trzy główne wyzwania związane z tytułem światowym, zarówno w wadze ciężkiej, jak i cruiser. Zdobył osiem tytułów regionalnych, a także mistrzostwa świata w super cruiserach IBA i WBF.

Podczas swojej kariery bokserskiej, przedstawiciele sieci odkryli, że był utalentowanym bokserem, jak również dobrze mówiony, przystojny i kompetentny z płynną dostawą. Bardziej niż cokolwiek innego, mógł skutecznie rozbijać bojowników i walki, zamiast tylko odnotowywać, co się stało, wyjaśnił, dlaczego i co się stanie z fanami.

Kwiaty’ przerwa, gdy przyszedł spiker, według BJ, po jego 2008 walczyć przeciwko Darnell Wilson żyć w ESPN. “ja byłem a 4-1 przegrany przeciwko Wilsonowi,” - powiedział Flores. “Odniósł pięć zwycięstw z rzędu przez nokaut i walczyliśmy w jego rodzinnym mieście (Dover, Delaware). Był w rankingu nr. 2 a ja nie. 15. Wszedł na ring, niosąc dla mnie poduszkę, ale go pokonałem 10 z 12 Rundy.

“Następnie zabrano mnie do studia ESPN na wywiad. Boks był moim życiem! Pracowałem zBrian Kenny i od razu mieliśmy chemię. Do końca tego roku, Byłem komentatorem w studiu ESPN co trzy tygodnie.”

Flores został zatrudniony jako analityk na ringu 2012 i stał się częścią PBC (Premier Boxing Mistrzów) zespół nadawczy w NBC. Współpracował z gigantami w branży bokserskiej i medialnej, m.in. Sugar Ray Leonard, Al Michaels i Marv Albert.

Chociaż Flores nie reprezentował swojego kraju na igrzyskach olimpijskich, był komentatorem kolorystycznym CBS Sports w 2012 i 2016. Nie może się doczekać, aby ponownie zadzwonić do boksu olimpijskiego w przyszłym roku w CBS.

“Każda chwila, w której możesz reprezentować USA, to ogromny zaszczyt i wielka szansa,” - dodał Flores. “Zadzwoniłem do 2012 Igrzyska Olimpijskie (Zjednoczone Królestwo) i 2016 (Brazylia). Akcję nazwaliśmy ze studia, ale z przyjemnością zwołałabym przyszłoroczne igrzyska olimpijskie z ringów w Japonii. Uwielbiam to. Nic innego w życiu nie ma dla mnie znaczenia w porównaniu z igrzyskami olimpijskimi.”

HEAVYWEIGHTS WALLIN AND FLORES BOTH EXPECTING VICTORY WHEN THEY CLASH ON SHOBOX: NOWA GENERACJA piątek, Lipca 12 Żyć na SHOWTIME®

NEW YORK – July 9, 2019 –Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin says he has too many physical advantages, while former world title challenger BJ Flores says he has too much experience to lose their upcoming 10-round clash.



Nr WBA. 5-ranked Wallin (20-0, 13 KO) and Flores (34-4-1, 21 KO) will meet this Friday, Lipiec 12, in the co-featured bout of a ShoBox: Nowa Generacja tripleheader telecast (żyć na SHOWTIME 10 p.m. ET / PT) from the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Myjnia.



Presented by Salita Promotions and Brian Halquist Productions, “Battle at the Boat 122” will also feature top American heavyweight prospect Jermaine Franklin (18-0, 13 KO), from Saginaw, Mich., returning for his second consecutive ShoBox test against the streaking Jerry Forrest (25-2, 19 KO), z Newport News, Va., in the 10-round headliner and in the opening televised bout, undefeated featherweight Giovanni Mioletti (16-0, 7 KO) of Chicago will face Ecuador’s Luis Porozo (14-0, 7 KO).



The 28-year-old Wallin, a southpaw from Sundsvall, Szwecja, says he’s been expanding his horizons working with trainer Joey Gamache at Mendez Boxing in Manhattan.



“Training has been very good. I have been back in New York for six weeks now and I’ve had some great sparring with a lot of different guys and different styles,” said 28-year-old Wallin. “Sparring is the best training you can get. It’s the most like a fight, so just getting in with all these different guys is a great experience.”



Undefeated Wallin says he’s got too much of everything for former cruiserweight Flores in this fight.



“BJ Flores is a guy that’s experienced, but I know what to do,- powiedział Wallin. “I have the tools to beat him. He’s good as a cruiserweight, but this is a heavyweight fight. It’s different than being a good cruiser. I will win because I’m a better boxer with better skills. I’m too big, young and strong for him. I always get nervous before a fight, but that’s part of it. Being nervous makes me sharper. I will eventually break him down.”



It’s been something of a whirlwind career for Wallin, who turned pro as the number one heavyweight on the Swedish National team after just 50 amatorskie walki. Heavily courted by promoters for his immense natural talent, Wallin now finds himself signed with Salita Promotions and in the top 5 of the WBA ratings after 20 pro walki.



He credits trainer Gamache, himself a popular former fighter, with much of his success.



“Joey used to live in Denmark and so did I,- powiedział Wallin. “That’s where we met six years ago. I followed him back to the US when he came back and I signed with Salita at the beginning of this year. We have a great relationship. I love him as a coach and as a person He’s done a lot for me including bringing me over here and making all these connections. I trust him 100% and he trusts me too.”



Wallin says having a great team behind him means ramping up his quest for a world championship.



“I want to have three or four fights this year. I haven’t had that many fights the last couple years, so it’s important to me to stay busy. Następny rok, I’ll be looking for a bigger fight. I’m very excited about everything that is happening.”



The 40-year-old Flores, originally from Arizona, says preparations went surprisingly well for this fight.



“Training couldn’t have gone better,” Flores said. “I had eight good weeks of training and I have zero injuries. Aby być uczciwym, I thought camp would be tougher, but everything bounced back nicely. I’ve been sparring for seven weeks. I normally have something nagging on fight week, but I sparred 10 rounds Saturday. I sparred four rounds today. Ja mam 22 rounds in since last Wednesday and I feel great.”



Kwiaty, a two-time world cruiserweight title challenger, says Wallin will be facing a totally different type of opponent than the ones he’s used to.



“He’s never been tested by a guy who thought he could win. Everybody he’s fought came in as an opponent. That’s not to say he’s not good, but I’m the first fighter on his resume coming in expecting to win and I’ve been in with far better opposition.



“I feel like once I get him in the middle rounds and show him he’s in with somebody who is not going anywhere, that’s when we will find out what he’s made of. My experience and game plan are perfect for testing an untested guy. Just because he’s untested doesn’t mean he can’t fight, but we’re going to find out Friday night.”



Contrary to most fighters’ preference, Flores says he’s happy Wallin is a left-handed fighter.



“I’ve been sparring nothing but tall southpaws. W rzeczywistości, I haven’t sparred an orthodox fighter in nine weeks. I prefer to fight southpaws. It’s better for my punch selection to fight a southpaw. I’ve never had a problem with it and I’ve never lost to one.”



Now a 16-year pro, Flores says he won’t be worried if the younger fighter comes out with some early aggression.



“If he wants to start fast, that’s OK. I don’t care about the first two or three rounds. The real fight starts after the fourth round. I plan on winning the early rounds, but even if I don’t, it doesn’t matter until we get in the middle rounds. I’m going to attack and be aggressive and go up and down on him. Get him to the middle rounds and see where he’s at. I know where I’m at. I’ve been in with the best heavyweights and cruiserweights in the world over the last 15 lat. I feel great and I’m ready.”

W pojedynku współpracy funkcjonalny, undefeated Swedish heavyweight and top-10 ranked contender Otto Wallin will battle former world title challenger BJ Flores in a 10-round clash on the seventh ShoBox telewizyjny z 2019.



“The heavyweight division is the strongest it’s been in a generation with a number of new faces looking to position themselves for an eventual title shot,”Powiedział Gordon Hall, Producent wykonawczy ShoBox. “Otto Wallin is on the doorstep based on his rankings in the top 10 but he needs that statement win to get there. BJ Flores is not coming to test Wallin. He is coming to win and feels he has what it takes to teach Wallin a lesson.



“Jermaine Franklin is the best American heavyweight prospect and, at only 25 lat, still has a ton of growth potential. He passed his first test on ShoBox in April and we look forward to getting a second look at him in another step-up fight. Forrest is far more experienced than Franklin. This will be his fifth fight of 2019, and he is fully aware of what a win will do for his career.”



Bilety na imprezę, which is promoted by Salita Promotions in association with Brian Halquist Productions, go on sale Saturday, Czerwiec 1 and are available via Ticketmaster and the Emerald Queen Box Office.



“This is an exciting time for the heavyweight division and on July 12 boxing fans will have an opportunity to witness two of the division’s best new faces in significant tests,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “Jermaine Franklin’s goal is to be an American heavyweight world champion, and an impressive performance in a tough matchup with Jerry Forrest will be a significant step in his quest to the title.



“Otto Wallin is an example of what happens when you combine dreams and hard work. He grew up in a small town in Sweden and aims to challenge for the heavyweight world title and follow in the footsteps of Ingemar Johansson. Otto is fighting a proven veteran in BJ Flores who’s only losses have been in world title fights, so I expect it will be an exciting matchup from the opening bell.”



The 25-year-old Franklin (18-0, 13 KO), from Saginaw, Mich., is a former amateur standout and a 2014 Narodowy Golden Gloves Champion. A likely candidate to represent the U.S. z 2016 Igrzyska Olimpijskie, Franklin turned down the opportunity to compete for a spot on the team and instead chose to begin his professional career in 2015. Widely regarded as the top American heavyweight prospect, Franklin has built his undefeated record with relative ease since turning pro, knocking out nine of his first 10 zawodowe przeciwnicy. Franklin made his SHOWTIME debut in the co-featured bout of the Claressa Shields vs. Christina Hammer event in April, earning a unanimous decision over former No. 1-ranked U.S. amateur Rydell Booker.



“In my SHOWTIME debut earlier this year, I felt I could have put on a better show but I won and that’s most important,” Franklin said. “Winning this fight is an important step toward my dreams of fighting for a heavyweight championship. This fight also is a chance for the fans to see me more focused and prepared. Jerry Forrest has been around the game for a while and he brings a lot of skills to the ring. I will be ready for him.”



Forrest (25-2, 19 KO), z Newport News, Va., has won eighteen consecutive bouts since dropping back-to-back contests to world title challenger Gerald Washington and Michael Hunter, whose only professional loss came to former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Forrest, a 6-foot-1 southpaw, scored an eight-round unanimous decision over Joshua Tufte his last time out in April.



“This is a long time coming for me,” said Forrest. “My record and my potential are definitely worthy to fight in the main event on national television. This is where I should be. I’m very comfortable and I’m not at all overwhelmed. I’ve fought in the Nationals and big tournaments and I’m not afraid of the spotlight. Franklin throws a lot of punches and tries to bully you out. He’s not super accurate from what I see. He’s a heavyweight who will try to outwork you. I see him as a very similar fighter to Andy Ruiz. My training is going great, I haven’t been out of shape in two years. I’ve been in the gym grinding and doing it old school.”



Wallin (20-0, 13 KO, 1 ND) zadebiutował patenty USA. debut on SHOWTIME in April, also on the undercard of Shields-Hammer, but his fight with Nick Kisner was cut short after an accidental headbutt left Kisner unable to continue, resulting in a No Decision. The 6-foot-5 Wallin turned pro in 2013 and has gradually risen in the rankings by recording 20 straight wins in Europe prior to his American debut. The 28-year-old southpaw won the Swedish Boxing Championship at 16-years-old, fought against Anthony Joshua twice as an amateur and was a member of the Swedish National Boxing Team. Currently ranked in the top-ten by both the WBA and IBF, Wallin now has his sights set on becoming his country’s first Heavyweight Champion since Ingemar Johansson in 1960.



“My U.S. debut did not go the way I had hoped and I didn’t get a chance to show off my skills,- powiedział Wallin. “I’m really looking forward to going out there again getting a chance to show a lot more. This is a fight I need to win if I want to go somewhere. I need to win and I need to look good doing it. I need to be sharp at all times and not take anything for granted. This is a sport where everything can change in the blink of an eye.”



Kwiaty (34-4-1, 21 KO) Kariera zawodowa w 2003 and has enjoyed a long, successful career competing mostly as a cruiserweight. Undefeated through the first seven years and 25 Walki w jego karierze, Flores suffered his first setback when he traveled to Australia to challenge Danny Green for his IBO Cruiserweight world title, rezygnacja z jednogłośnej decyzji. The Arizona native bounced back by winning eight of his next nine fights before getting a second chance at a world title, again traveling to his opponent’s hometown. Tym razem, Flores was stopped by WBC Cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew in Liverpool. Flores has since moved to heavyweight, where he has won two of his three fights.



“Not only is this a winnable fight for me, Jestem 100 percent winning this,” said Flores. “I’m working with [trenerzy] Angel Heredia and Ibn Cason and world class heavyweight Kubrat Pulev. Working with this team is perfect for getting my strength and conditioning up for this fight, and sparring with one of the top guys in the world in Pulev is making me very sharp. I know Wallin is undefeated and has a good amateur style. He’s tall and has good boxing ability. I know he’s got some talent and is a young up and coming guy. He’ll be trying to make a name for himself off of my name, so I’ll be ready for that.”

HURRICANE WRIGHT WANTS TO TOPPLE TOP CRUISERWEIGHTS CHICAGO BOXER TARGETS CHAMP SHUMENOV

Chicago, IL (Luty 22, 2016) – BoxRec.com says Junior Wright is the number-two ranked cruiserweight in the United States, and the Chicagoan is keen to show he should have the top slot.

Piątek, the 15-1-1 Wright got a 1st round stoppage over Jim Franklin on a show in Iowa, and the boxer feels he’s building superb momentum, which will soon result in another title shot.

The fight was over so fast I couldn’t really tell you much about it,” said Wright, śmiech. “But I threw a really good body shot to put him down and then afterwards I just threw a lot of combinations when he got up and they stopped it. I feel great about my win. While training for my world title fight with Rakhim Chakhiev in 2015, I had an injury but still went ahead with the fight. After the match I had surgery and now I am 100 hundred percent. I feel ready for all the top cruiserweights in the world, from what I see there is not much out there to worry about in the division. I would love the opportunity to fight Beibut Shumenov for a world title. He is one of the dominant champions and his fights happen in the U.S. so I feel there is no home-turf advantage, no jet leg to worry about. I feel very confident in this fight and my abilities!”

Wright is now No. 13 in the WBA and wants to fight best in the division, including WBA world champion Shumenov, or BoxRec No. 1 in the USA, BJ Flores.

His promoter Dmitry Salita backs the fighter nicknamed “Huragan” all the way.
