Ruben Villa Scores Impressive Knockout Win on Saturday Night

Leave a comment

PHILADELPHIA, Penn. / Laranxa, Califa. (Xullo 2, 2018) – Fast rising featherweight Ruben Villa (12-0, 5 Kos) used an explosive sixth round to knock out Ricardo López (7-3-2, 6 Kos) no “New Blood”main event Saturday night from Omega Products International in Sacramento, Califa.

 

 

 

Vila, a southpaw fighting out of Salinas, Calif., showed off his superior skill set to a sold out crowd that witnessed a devastating knockout win.

 

 

 

Throughout the fight, Villa used a sharp jab to set up left uppercuts and straight rights. While most boxers use the jab as a range finder, Villa uses it to inflict pain on his opponent either by landing it, or sending an unexpected power shot to the head or body.

 

 

 

The 21-year-old also found success on the defensive side, limiting Lopez to very few clean looks.

 

 

 

The thrill ride came toward the end of the sixth round when a multi-punch combination floored Lopez. The Mexican fighter would get up, but it would prove a poor decision. Villa promptly unloaded power shot after power shot until referee Edward Collantes put a stop to the carnage at the 2:49 marca.

 

 

 

“I was landing solid punches in every round,” remarked Villa, who is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing. “I knew I would be able to take him out. I wore him down and in the sixth I just let me hands go and I caught him with a lot of heavy punches. I was surprised he got up. He was a tough guy.”

19-Year-Old Sensation Logan Yoon to Face Colombian Veteran Luis E Flores at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla.

Leave a comment

O Venres, Xullo 6, Honolulu’s undefeated Logan “The Korican Kid” Yoon (11-0, 10 Kos) will attempt to continue his meteoric rise up the 140-lb. ladder when he faces capable Colombian veteran Luis E. Flores (24-9, 20 Kos) at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla.

 

 

 

The 10-round fight will serve as the evening’s co-main event of Heavyweight Factory Boxing promoter Kris Lawrence’s “Hometown Throwdown,” followed by a 10-round crosstown rivalry showdown between undefeated Miami-based welterweights Harold “King” Calderon (16-0, 10 Kos) and John David “Pretty Boy” Martinez (10-0, 8 Kos).

 

Tickets for “Hometown Throwdown” cost $60, $100, $150, $250 e $500 VIP. Tickets are available through ticketmaster.com.

 

 

 

The promising 19-year-old Yoon, the WBO-NABO Youth Super Lightweight Champion and WBO #13-rated contender, was last seen in March, dominating former two-time world champion Juan Carlos Salgado over 10 rounds. Yoon was expected to be pushed for the first time in his young career, but cruised to an easy decision (puntuacións: 100-89, 97-92 e 98-91).

 

 

 

“I have a lot of confidence in my team and our game plan, so I wasn’t surprised at all I was able to dominate,” said Yoon. “I knew that would happen. I work hard and stay disciplined.”

 

 

 

Yoon says he’s continuing to learn as he streaks up the ranks. Already world-rated after 11 loitas, the talented puncher says despite the buzz around him growing louder with every fight, he feels no extra pressure to impress.

 

 

 

“I’m confident in the abilities I’ve been blessed with, so I feel no pressure. I live a clean life and stay right with the Lord and follow His plan for me.”

 

 

 

Yoon says he knows Flores is tall with a strong left hook, but expects to be victorious once again.

 

 

 

“Logan is an amazing talent,” said Heavyweight Factory Director of Boxing Operations Henry Rivalta. “He’s still just a kid and already so strong and powerful. That’s why we are moving him along so quickly. He trains right and lives right to become a world champion.”

 

 

 

Expected special guests that evening include Heavyweight Factory regulars, former heavyweight champions Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe and Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield. Na noite da loita, the action starts at 7:15 p.m. Doors open one hour prior to start time. Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is located at 1 Seminole Way en Hollywood, Fla.

TARGETING SERGEY KOVALEV TITLE SHOT IN THE FALL
“SLUGFEST AT THE SUN” RESULTADOS

Uncasville, Conner. (Xullo 1, 2018) – Returning to the ring after an 11-month layoff due to a broken jaw, Joe “The Beast” Ferreiro, JR. provided early fireworks last night (Sábado, Xuño 30) in the latest installment in the popular “Slugfest at The Sun” serie, presentado por Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, en MOHEGAN Sun Arena en Uncasville, Connecticut.

 

 

 

“Slugfest at The Sun” was taped live and will air Xullo 19, 8 -10 p.m. E, en New England Sports Network (NESN). Star Boxing’s next event, “Rockin’ Fights”,Setembro 21 at the Paramount in Huntington, Nova York, will also air via tape- delay on NESN.

 

 

 

Rated No. 3 e n. 7 no mundo, respectivamente, polo Consello Mundial de Boxeo (WBC) e Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (WBA), Ferreiro (24-2, 20 Kos) hurt Melvin “The Romantic Redneck” Russell (11-5-2, 7 Kos) with the first punch he landed and finished the show, two devastating knockdowns later, na rolda de apertura.

 

 

 

“I hit him with a decent shot when I was walking him down and saw that I hurt him,” Joe Smith Jr. explicado. “Así, I looked to end it. I would have liked to have gotten some rust off, but I’m happy with my performance. My jaw feels great.”

 

 

 

“We’re looking to go to the top,” Smith’s promoter Joe DeGuardia establecido. “Joe’s plan and goal has always been to be world champion. We wanted (Sergey) Kovalev before this fight, but it didn’t work out. We’re hoping to get him in the fall.”

 

 

 

“Kovalev looks great, he motivates me,” Smith noted. “I think I can take advantage of his conditioning.”

 

 

 

Coming off her historic fight this past May against the undefeated Queen of Boxing Cecelia Breakhus, who won a 10-round decision in the first female fight to air on HBO, three-time world champion Kali “KO Mequinonoag” Reis (14-7-1, 4 Kos) cruised past Mexican welterweight Patty “Las Elegante” Ramirez (11-6, 5 Kos), un ex desafiante ao título mundial, winning all eight rounds.

 

 

 

“She was a survivor,” Reis commented. “There was a lot we wanted to work on, tiros do corpo, jabs and more … getting more comfortable. I executed the plan my corner gave me and got the job done.

 

 

 

A Native American from Rhode Island, Reis wants a rematch with Breakhus, “I know I need to stay busy, active and remain fighting at welterweight to get the rematch,” Reis added. “I’m going to stay on her tail. I’ll be ready when it happens, I really want it to happen.”

 

 

 

In the television opener, undefeated junior welterweight “Acción” Antonio Laureano (8-0 3KO) lived up to his nickname, never taking a backwards step, as he pounded Juan Rodríguez (8-10-1 6KO) in the center of the ring from the opening bell through the end for a dominant six-round unanimous decision. O 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion Laureano, who fights out of East Hartford, CT, put on an entertaining show in front of his large, loud contingent of fans. Laureano effectively used every punch in his vast arsenal to break down a tough, game Rodriguez.

 

 

 

“I thought I did well,” Laureano said after the fight, “but I’d like to see more angles. I want to see more power, moi. It’s there, he felt it; it’s coming. I have a long road. Próxima loita, I’d like to have an eight-rounder. We’re adding more people to the team. I hope everyone see that I’m getting better each fight. I have more tools and my discipline is there.”

 

 

 

Invicto Middleweight Júnior Wendy “Haitian Fire” Toussaint (9-0, 3 Kos) lit up an overwhelmed Andy González (6-3, 5 Kos), battering him from pillar to post, until referee Steve Willis waved off the fight in the third round. Haiti-native Toussaint, now living in Huntington, Nova York, used his superior power and speed to make an impressive statement.

 

 

 

Popular South Boston southpaw Joe Farina (3-0, 2 Kos) overcame a flash knockdown during the opening seconds of the fight, using a relentless attack to defeat junior welterweight Steve Moore (1-4, 1 KO), by way of a four-round split decision.

 

 

 

Irish junior welterweight “Lethal” Larry Fryers (formerly known as Gleeson) mellorou a súa marca de 7-1 (2 Kos) with a six-round unanimous decision over Anthony Woods (1-7-1). Fighting out of Yonkers NY, Fryers floored Woods with a left hook at the end of round two. Woods was penalized a point near the end of the final round for an intentional head butt.

 

 

 

Former U. of New Haven basketball star Cassius Chaney (13-0, 7 Kos), fighting out of New London (CT), mantivo a súa invencibilidade intacta, dropping Mexican heavyweight Elder Hernandez (5-3, 3 Kos) twice before referee Willis halted the match near the end of the opening round.

 

 

 

The opening bout of the evening ended in the second round and ruled a “Sen Resposta” because of an accidental head butt that left both fighters — William “O Silent Assassin” Foster III (8-0, 6 Kos) e Tyrome Jones (4-3-1, 1 KO) – with serious head cuts and unable to continue.

WORLD TITLE LOOMS FOR 19-YEAR OLD DEVIN HANEY NOW RANKED IBF #15

Leave a comment

Photo by Stephanie Trapp – Altura De Comezar

LAS VEGAS, NV (Xuño 29, 2018) – 19-year-old undefeated sensation and USBA Lightweight campión, Devin “O Soño” Haney (19-0, 13 Kos), has captured his second title before age 20, but even more impressive, is his ranking at # 15 polo IBF, meaning a title shot is near.

 

 

 

“It means the world to me to be ranked in the top 15 by a major sanctioning body like the IBF,” said Devin Haney. “I work extremely hard. I have dedicated my life to the sport of boxing, and the fact that sanctioning bodies are taking notice of my hard work, reaffirms all the sacrifice I have made. I am very excited for what the future holds.”

 

 

 

In his last bout Haney defeated Mason Menard (33-3, 24 Kos) by way of ninth-round technical knockout, and earned the victory when Menard’s corner stopped the bout heading into the tenth and final round. Haney handed Menard a one-sided beating up until that point, forcing Menard’s corner to stop the fight. This victory, which headlined Showtime’s “ShoBox: The Next Generation”, also awarded Devin, the USBA Lightweight title.

 

 

 

“I know that after the statement I made in the last fight, people will be watching me closely,” Haney continued. “I have a lot of hype around me! The cat is out of the bag! I’m nobody’s prospect. Eu son un candidato. If the winner of Garcia vs Oriental wants to fight me next, I’m available. The industry and the real fight fans know who I am. They know I can fight. It’s only going to get better. Estou traballando duro, and I promise that in my next fight, you will see, an even better Devin Haney than before.”

 

 

 

Devin Haney is the youngest fighter ever to hold the USBA Lightweight title in the organization’s history. En setembro, Devin will be making his return to the ring, as he gears up for his first title defense.

FNU Combate Sports Concerto: UFC Fight Night Recap, Pacquiao vs. Matthysse still on, “Big Rig” Retires

Leave a comment

Esta semana no FNU Combat Sports Sports, we discuss the latest news in MMA and boxing, recap the past week’s events and preview the upcoming events this week. We also discuss Walter “2 Guns” Wright winning his main event fight against Mark DeLuca a couple days after we interviewed him last week. Wright’s split decision win came in part due to a persistent jab that frustrated DeLuca and left him bloodied, bruised and exhausted by the final bell. Of course bringing up this fact gets us all going on the absolute necessity of the jab in any combat sports fighter’s toolbox.

Among the news we touch on:

The rumors about Manny Pacquiao’s next fight with Lucas Matthysse being in jeopardy, Manny and his team say everything is on track.

Johny “Big Rig” Hendricks retires (also forgot to mention Rashad Evans retired as well).

 

The latest cast for The Contender Series, set to return this August featuring 16 up and coming young boxers in the 160-pound division.

Russian Prospect Elena Savelyeva to Face IBF #10- and WBC #11-rated Nina Radovanovic on Friday, Xullo 13 in Montenegro

Leave a comment

Gold-star women’s bantamweight prospect Elena Savelyeva (4-0, 3 Kos) of Russia will return to the ring on Friday, Xullo 13, in Herceg Novi, Montenegro, for an eight-round showdown against current #10 IBF e #11 WBC contender Nina Radovanovic (12-2, 3 Kos) de Serbia.

 

 

 

Formerly one of the most decorated female amateur boxers in the world, Savelyeva is being fast-tracked by her co-promoters, Salita Promotions and Russia-based Alexander Nevskiy Promotion Group. Radovanovic is a two-time world-title challenger, whose only two losses occurred in world-championship fights.

 

 

 

“Even though I only have four professional fights, I want to fight the best and show the boxing world my skills,” said Savelyeva, a former world, Europeo (2X) e ruso (6X) campión afeccionado, who represented her homeland in the 2012 Summer Olympics and competed in the first-ever women’s Olympic boxing match in history.

 

 

 

“Nina Radovanovic will be my toughest opponent on the professional ring. She is more experienced than me as professional, but I am sure that my amateur experience and already acquired professional experience will be enough for my victory which I plan to be impressive.”

 

 

 

Savelyeva says she’s optimistic about her quickly developing career, given the current state of female boxing.

 

 

 

“Female professional boxing is going in the right direction. Some of the top female fights are as exciting as the male boxers. The fact that Claressa Shields vs Hanna Gabriels did such amazing, record-setting TV ratings proves that women’s boxing at the top level is exciting and wanted.”

 

 

 

Savelyeva’s co-promoter, Palabras dmitriy, says the fast-track is justified for his talented Russian prospect.

 

 

 

“Women’s boxing had grown exponentially in recent times. Elena’s elite amateur pedigree makes her already one of the best female fighters in the world and I believe in the very near future, she will be a world champion.”
