FRISCO, TEXAS (Junio 16, 2018) – Errol Spence Jr. defended his IBF Welterweight World Championship with a first-round knockout of previously undefeated mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in a homecoming fight Saturday on SHOWTIME at Ford Center at The Star. VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2HTG4Zv

 

 

 

A sellout crowd of more than 12,600 fans packed Ford Center at The Star in Frisco to witness Spence’s first homecoming defense as champion and his first fight in Dallas since 2015. The consensus top-5 pound-for-pound fighter did not disappoint, pounding the body from the opening bell with his trademark body attack and superb ring generalship.

 

 

 

Spence, who was making his second defense as a 147-pound champion, floored Ocampo with a brutal 1-2 body shot combo, the second punch landing flush on the challenger’s side and instantly flooring him as the opening round concluded. Ocampo (22-1, 13 KOs) crippled over in pain while on the canvas, was unable to beat the count and remained on the floor for more than two minutes while Spence celebrated his victory.

 

 

 

“I was a little disappointed. I wanted to give the crowd their money’s worth,” Spence said. “I wanted him to sustain a bit and give him some punishment, but the body shot got him and I dropped him.”

 

 

 

It was the ninth time Spence (24-0, 21 KOs) has floored an opponent with a body shot in his 24 peleas profesionales.

 

 

 

“I knew if I hit him again he would probably drop,” Spence said. “That was my game plan. I’m the body snatcher. If he reacts weirdly, I just keep going to the body and I keep breaking him down.”

 

 

 

Después de la pelea, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones joined Spence in the ring to congratulate him on the victory.

 

 

 

“This moment is a dream,” Spence said. “I wanted to play for the Dallas Cowboys and now I’m fighting in front of the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones. Thank you to the whole Dallas Cowboys organization.

 

 

 

“We’ll definitely be back after I unify some titles. We’ll make this an annual thing where I fight here.”

 

 

 

Jones was thrilled with what was the first boxing event inside the Ford Center at The Star, the centerpiece of the 91-acre campus of the Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters and practice facility.

 

 

 

“This room was full of Dallas Cowboys football players supporting you,” Jones said. “They share your passion. I saw a guy in this ring who knew what he wanted. When you knock a guy out by hitting him once on the side of his back, you’re bad to the bone.

 

 

 

“I love his awareness. He had a plan from the beginning. He is exceptionally gifted. He has family that is behind him and our family, the Cowboys, want to be behind him as well.”

 

 

 

Después de la pelea, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame last Sunday, asked Spence what he would like to do next.

 

 

 

“Quiero pelear con los mejores,” Spence promised. “Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter are fighting each other (for the WBC title) and I definitely want to make that a unifying fight. We both have the same management, we both fight on SHOWTIME. Why not make that happen? I definitely want that fight whenever it’s available.”

 

 

 

En la pelea co-estelar televisado, Danny Roman defended his WBA Super Bantamweight World Championship with a unanimous decision over previously undefeated Moises Flores in a 12-round fight that was scored 116-112, 118-110, 120-108.

 

 

 

The champion Roman (24-2-1, 9 KOs) was the faster and sharper fighter from the opening bell. Romano, who was making the second defense of his 122-pound belt, pounded the body repeatedly over 12 rondas, connecting on a staggering 50 percent of his body shots. Flores (25-1, 17 KOs), who failed to make weight for the title fight and was unable to win the belt, tired in the latter half of the fight and was largely a stationary target for Roman for 12 rondas.

 

 

 

Both fighters threw more than 1,000 golpes, yet it was Roman who was the more effective boxer, connecting on an impressive 42 por ciento de sus tiros de la energía.

 

 

 

“I was trying to box him. We tried to do a smart fight,” Roman said. “We tried to take him out, but unfortunately we couldn’t.

 

 

 

“I would like to unify. I would like to challenge any of the champions. I’d love to face Rey Vargas or Isaac Dogboe. I don’t mind going back to Japan either.”

 

 

 

“I know I messed up in training,”Dijo Flores. “I didn’t make the weight, but I still wanted to perform and give it everything I have.

 

 

 

“We both hit each other a lot. golpeé (Romano) with some good shots, I just couldn’t finish him. I was probably around 60 percent energy-wise. From the fifth round on I had to just fight with pure heart.

 

 

 

"(Romano) haz un gran espectáculo para los fans, and that’s what makes me feel great. That’s all I wanted was to put on a good fight.”

 

 

 

En la primera pelea de la transmisión de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Javier Fortuna suffered an injury while falling through the ropes due to an accidental push in the fourth round and his 140-pound matchup with Adrian Granados was ruled a No Decision.

 

 

 

Granados (18-6-2, 11 KOs) and Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 KOs) both came out swinging from the opening bell. In a wild fourth round, Fortuna was deducted two points, first for punching to the back of the head, and second for holding. After the second point deduction, the former 130-pound champion Fortuna aggressively moved forward and unloaded a series of shots.

 

 

 

Momentos después, Granados and Fortuna were clinching along the ropes near Granados’ corner when Fortuna fell backward through the ropes, whipping his neck as he fell back. Complaining of pain and lack of movement, Fortuna was stabilized with a neck brace and removed from the ring on a stretcher in what was later described as a precautionary measure.

 

 

 

En el momento de la detención, Grandos was leading on all three of the judges’ scorecards.

 

 

 

“I didn’t push him. I think he fell with his own,", Dijo Granados. “I think he was looking for an excuse on his way out. We were both battling, but I knew he could feel I was getting stronger. He caught me with a shot and it just turned me up.

 

 

 

“First and foremost I just want to pray that he’s OK. Let’s do the rematch. I’ve been dying for a fight at 140.”

 

 

 

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will re-air on Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available via SHOWTIME ON DEMAND and SHOWTIME ANYTIME.

El actual campeón de peso semipesado de UBF All Americas, Rivera (8-0, 7 KOs) es posiblemente el pegador libra por libra más duro de Nueva Inglaterra, si no todo el noreste. Después de romper el tobillo de su último oponente con la fuerza de su poder, el increíblemente popular luchador de Hartford

 

 

 

Entrenador de boxeo Tony Blanco y su compañero de gimnasio del Hartford Boxing Center, Michael Tran, Recientemente se asoció con Rivera para formar Hartford Boxing Promotions, que estaba promocionando su primer evento de boxeo profesional, “Fight Night en The Capital.”

 

 

 

“Estoy emocionado de haber promocionado nuestro primer programa aquí en Hartford y espero que otros promotores sigan,” Blanco commented. “Estoy feliz por todos los luchadores. Este fue nuestro primer pero no último show. Traemos el box de regreso a Hartford.

 

 

 

“También estoy entusiasmado con el debut profesional de Sharrad (Minero), quien es como un hijo para mi, y Richie, mi hermano y socio. Todo lo que hago es por ellos, para eso trabajo.”

 

 

 

El duradero Solorio solo había sido eliminado una vez en 17 peleas profesionales entrando al ring contra Rivera, que ha noqueado a seis de sus siete víctimas.

 

 

 

La primera fue una ronda de sentimiento, pero Rivera aceleró en el segundo, aterrizando varios golpes duros sobre su juego oponente mexicano. El muy entretenido Rivera navegó del tercero al quinto, escogiendo mejor sus lugares, pero fueron bombas de distancia en el sexto cuando Rivera conectó una derecha que envió a Solorio a la cubierta. Solorio fue sancionado con un punto en el sexto por conducta antideportiva.

 

 

 

 

En la séptima ronda, Solorio parecía estar luchando por sobrevivir, sosteniendo y agarrando frecuentemente, pero se adelantó a chorros cuando Rivera comenzó a cargar para un nocaut que finalmente llegó en el octavo asalto.. Rivera nunca había peleado más de cuatro asaltos, pero estaba decidido a protegerse de la lucha de su oponente, aterrizar una combinación de uppercut de derecha-izquierda-derecha para cerrar el espectáculo con solo 30 segundos restantes en el concurso.

 

 

 

“Quiero agradecer a todos por estar aquí y unir a nuestra comunidad en una casa.,” Rivera dijo. “Feliz Día del Padre. Le dediqué esta pelea a mi padre a quien amo tanto. Les dije a todos que iba a caer en tres, pero solorio fue duro. Lo llevé a agua profunda y estoy fuerte hasta el final porque como mis espinacas…..sonar, sonar!”

 

 

 

En un choque intra-Connecticut de pesos welter junior, Invicto de Danbury Omar “La Bestia” Bordoy, Jr. (6-0, 2 KOs) noqueado Alejandro “El Bravo” Puntilla (2-6-1), de Hartford, con solo un segundo restante en la sexta y última ronda del evento co-presentado.

 

 

 

Bordoy se vio obstaculizado por un corte sobre su ojo derecho, sufrió durante la segunda ronda de un cabezazo no intencional, que estaba luchando en su primer asalto programado de seis. Giró y lanzó un corto, recto a la derecha que sacudió a Picot, dejándolo caer hacia adelante en la colchoneta como árbitro Shada Murdaugh inmediatamente descartó el conteo, llamando al doctor al ring.

 

 

 

Una estrella nació en un debut profesional como dos veces campeón de los Guantes de Oro de Nueva Inglaterra “El especial” Sharad Collier (1-0, 1 KO, peleando en casa en Hartford, mostró su vasto arsenal de habilidades, noquear Antonio Castillo, Jr. (1-1) en la primera ronda.

 

 

 

Collier, de 21 años, mostró el aplomo de un veterano y un poder sorprendente, especialmente considerando que luchó dos divisiones completas por encima de su categoría de peso natural, debido a que su oponente pesa como un peso mediano junior. Collier atacó a Castillo temprano y lo remató con una serie de golpes sin respuesta hasta que el árbitro Danny Sciavone detenido la acción.

 

 

 

“Todo salió como lo había planeado,” Collier dijo después de la pelea. “Antes de la pelea, Sabía que iba a ganar, porque me sentí tan bien. La gente me preguntaba antes de la pelea cómo me sentía y, sinceramente, Estaba mucho más nervioso como aficionado.”

 

 

 

New Haven, CT ligero Anuel Rosa (1-0, 1 KO) se convirtió en un explosivo debut profesional, explotando un abrumado Roger Blankenship (1-3) alrededor del ring hasta que el árbitro Murdaugh detuvo la acción en la marca de 49 segundos de la primera ronda. Rosa de 21 años dedicó la pelea a su prima, la tarde Luis “KO King” Rosa (23-1, 11 KOs), que murió trágicamente en enero pasado en un accidente automovilístico a la edad de 26.

 

 

 

Nueva Bretaña, CT peso pluma Nathan Martínez (1-0) tuvo otro debut profesional muy impresionante, lanzar una blanqueada completa (40-35) en los tres jueces’ tarjetas de puntuación contra Enrique García (0-2), a pesar de ser un combate lleno de acción de principio a fin. Martínez usó golpes letales al cuerpo, derribando a García con un gancho de izquierda al hígado, y combinaciones nítidas.

“Ocampo is very dangerous because he has nothing to lose. It’s his first title fight, which is a position I’ve been in before. I had a lot of fire and I felt like I had nothing to lose. I’m sure he’s been training hard and is focused. I know he’s fighting for him family so he’s going to come to fight. I want a guy who’s going to test me so the crowd gets their money’s worth.

“Every fight is a statement fight. No importa con quién estoy luchando. All eyes are on me in the welterweight division. People want to see if there are chinks in my armor, so it’s important for me to put on a great performance and prove I’m the best welterweight in the division.

“I’m ready to line up those other champions. I’ve said that since I was 15-0. I want to fight every opponent and take them out no matter who it is. I’m here to prove that I’m the best in the division.”

 

CARLOS OCAMPO

 

 

 

“We’re here on the same stage and I’m ready. I’m appreciative to be here and I’m calm. no tengo nada que perder. He has all the pressure of being in his hometown. I’m just relaxed and ready to fight.

 

 

 

“I’ve studied his fights enough. What’s most important is that I know that he has everything to lose and I don’t. He has a home field advantage, pero al final del día, it’s just two guys in the ring.

 

 

 

“I’ve gotten a great reception from the people here in Dallas. I’ve been treated like a champion and after Saturday I’ll be a world champion. You don’t want to miss this fight.

 

 

 

“He can try to come and knock me out, but this is my dream. This is what I’ve trained my whole life for and I’m not going to let this chance pass me by.

 

 

 

“Voy a usar mi estatura, distance and jab throughout the fight. The counter will be important for me. I’m going to look to catch him so he better be ready.

 

 

 

“Voy a dejar todo en el ring. I’m going to show what I have and give everyone a great performance from start to finish.”

 

DANIEL ROMANO

 

 

 

“Flores is a tough opponent. I don’t overlook anybody. I know he’s going to come in and fight. Defending my belt is the only thing that’s on my mind.

 

 

 

“We work hard like always. The only thing that changes in camp is strategy, and we will be ready for anything Flores can bring.

 

 

 

“We’re going to be ready for his pressure. I’m going to fight a smart fight. If we have a chance to take him out early, then I’m going to jump on it. You never know what could happen in a fight.

 

 

 

“Flores is not an easy opponent. Nobody is at this level. I just work hard every day like it’s my first shot at a world title. I know that if I put in the work, everything will come together in the ring.”

 

MOISES FLORES

 

“Roman is a good fighter, that’s why we’re here. Hopefully on Saturday night he won’t be able to take my volume of punches. I’m going to bring pressure for every moment of the fight and we’ll see if he holds up.

 

 

 

“Everyone knows that I like to come forward and make exciting fights. There will be drama and I’m expecting to come out of there with my hand raised.

 

 

 

“On Saturday night I’m going to get redemption for everything that happened in my last fight and deliver a win and an exciting fight. This is a chance that I’ve worked and trained hard to get again.”

 

JAVIER FORTUNA

 

 

 

“Everyone knows what I can do here in the ring. I’m very glad to be here meeting Granados, because we’re going to give the fans a a great fight on Saturday that’s going to steal the show.

 

 

 

“I know that Granados has fought a lot of top opposition, but on Saturday night, I’m going to be a different fighter than he’s ever seen in the ring.

 

 

 

“This will be a battle. Everyone will see on fight night what the difference is between me and him. Soy un luchador especial. I’m going to prove it again on Saturday.”

 

ADRIAN GRANADOS

 

 

 

“It’s been a long hard road to this fight. I know I have marks on my record, but I can easily say that I know all of them have been controversial. I’ve pushed through everything and I know that I’m truly respected as a fighter.

 

 

 

“I’m always going to bring the same fire and determination to the ring. If my opponent is brave enough to stand with me, then it’s going to be all-action. De cualquier manera, I’m coming to break him down and get the victory.

 

 

 

‘Recently I’ve gone against a lot of opposition that is naturally bigger than me, but I’ve never backed down or been afraid of any of them. This fight is going to prove that I belong in the upper echelon of boxing.

 

 

 

“I’ve checked out Fortuna’s fights and he’s a scrapper. He likes to bang too in the ring just like I do. It’s all the recipes for a can’t miss fight.”

 

Derrick James, Entrenador de Spence

 

 

 

“I’m very happy to see everybody out here and we’re so glad that the fans are getting involved. This city means everything to me and Errol, so to bring a great night like this and have this huge reception from the fans, is a little bit of extra motivation.

 

 

 

“I think we’re going to see a great fight. Ocampo is very tough opposition and Errol has trained very hard. We’re going to see the best Errol Spence on Saturday night and I’m sure we’ll see the best Carlos Ocampo, which should make for a fun night for the fans.”

 

Goossen BRETAÑA BROWN, Vice President of TGB Promotions

 

 

 

“We are so excited for Saturday night and to be bringing the first boxing event inside Ford Center at The Star. Dallas is a great fight town and who better to headline the first title fight here in 50 years than hometown favorite Errol Spence Jr.? He is sure to put on a great performance for his hometown fans.

 

 

 

“It has truly been a pleasure to work with the entire Dallas Cowboys organization throughout this promotion and we hope this is just the start of bringing sellout crowds here to the heart of Texas. We can’t wait to see you all there on Saturday night.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Presidente Deportes & Programación de eventos, Showtime Network Inc.

 

 

 

“SHOWTIME is thrilled to be here at The Star for the first boxing event inside of Ford Center. Week after week and month after month, we’ve delivered the best fighters in the most meaningful fights to boxing fans. Saturday is the 11º SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING this year. These events have featured more than 15 peleas de título mundial, just in the first six months of the year. We’re doing more boxing and more high quality boxing than any other network by far.

 

 

 

“Saturday is no exception, especially in terms of quality. Errol Spence Jr. is a consensus top five pound-for-pound fighter. He’s knocked out 10 straight fighters and it was 2014 when an opponent last went the distance. Errol is in many ways our Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys quarterback), he’s a young star, a fan favorite and we expect him to be one of the faces of the sport for years to come.

 

 

 

“If you know of the tradition of Mexican fighters in this sport, then you know that Carlos Ocampo cannot be overlooked. He’s coming to win and that makes him very dangerous and should create an exciting fight.

 

 

 

“Both of the opening bouts leading up to the main event on SHOWTIME are significant bouts with fighters that bring all action styles to the ring.”

Hizni Altunkaya challenges 2-division World Champion Beibut Shumenov for Vacant WBA Cruiserweight World title

Deja un comentario
Julio 7 en Astana, Kazajstán

ASTANA, Kazajstán (Junio , 2018) — Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (AMB) No. 3-rated cruiserweight Hizni “El guerrero” Altunkaya (30-1, 17 KOs) isn’t concerned about hitting the road to fight local hero and two-division World Boxing Association (AMB) Campeón mundial, Shumenov Beibu, for the vacant WBA World cruiserweight title, Julio 7 en Astana, Kazajstán.

 

 

 

La 2004 Kazajstán olímpico, Shumenov (17-2, 11 KOs) retired a year ago due to an eye injury that required surgeries, lo que le obligó a renunciar a su título mundial de la AMB de peso crucero. Shumenov has fully recovered and he’s on a mission to recapture his WBA world cruiserweight title.

 

Shumenov vs. Altunkaya is a presentation of Shumenov’s company, KZ Event Productions, Inc. El número de julio 7ºgala event will be part of the 20ºanniversary celebration of Astana being the capital of Kazakhstan. Many political dignitaries from Kazakhstan and around the World are expected to attend Shumenov’s comeback fight, which will air nationally on Qazaqstan TV and QAZSPORT TV, as well as internationally, including BoxNation in the United Kingdom.

 

 

 

“I have no reservations about fighting Shumenov in his country,” 30-year-old Altunkaya said. “I believe that there will be a fair decision and the better fighter that evening will win. I will arrive in Kazakhstan with enough time for me to acclimate.

 

 

 

“I have great respect for what he has achieved. Shumenov has a lot of experience and he is a strong boxer. We are studying some fights to find his weaknesses. I think it will be, technologically, a good fight, in which both of us will take chances to get a knockout. Soy un boxeador, but when I see the chance for a knockout, I can change my style. It will be a tough fight and I will do my best to go home as world champion.

 

 

Altunkaya, who was born in Turkey but now lives and fights out of fighting out of Germany, noqueado Mathias Reinhardt en la primera ronda, en el Vitali Klitschko versus Shannon Briggs Consejo Mundial de Boxeo (CMB) Heavyweight World Championship card in 2010, at O2 World Arena in Hamburg, Alemania.

 

 

 

En 2011, Altunkaya won a 12-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Salvatore Aiello (29-0) for the Interim World Boxing Federation (WBF) World cruiserweight crown. The gifted Turk captured the vacant Global Boxing Council (GBC) Intercontinental cruiserweight title in 2016, His pro loss happened last year, when he was stopped in round five by former World Boxing Organization (OMB) Cruiserweight World champion Krzysztof Glowacki (26-1).

 

 

 

Shumenov has a tremendous quality experience advantage over Altunkaya, who did not box as an amateur. Although Altunkava has fought more pro rounds than Shumenov, 147-140, the chiseled Kazakh has fought 88 rounds in major world title fights compared to zero for his Turkish opponent.

 

 

 

“The fight against Glowacki was one of the most important experiences in my career,” Altunkaya added. “I know what I did wrong and I will not repeat those mistakes against Shumenov.”

HALL OF FAME BROADCASTER AL BERNSTEIN MARKS 15-YEAR MILESTONE WITH SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Deja un comentario

Legendary Boxing Analyst Has Been Part of the Biggest and Most Memorable Events In Boxing History

Crédito: TIEMPO DE LA FUNCION

NUEVA YORK (Junio 13, 2018) – Legendary Boxing Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein has reached another career milestone: fifteen years of broadcasting the sport on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

Bernstein provided expert analysis for the largest pay-per-view event in television history. He ranks the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao “Fight of the Century” the most significant broadcast of his career, one that spans three-and-a-half decades.

“I have great memories throughout my more than 37-year television career, but the last 15 years at SHOWTIME have been the most productive and enjoyable,” said the Chicago native and longtime Las Vegas resident Bernstein. “I have worked with extraordinary colleagues both in front of and behind the camera as we chronicled some of the most important and exciting boxing matches of this era.”

Bernstein was ringside providing expert analysis when Anthony Joshua TKO’d Wladimir Klitschko in the spring of 2017 delante de 90,000 raucous fans at Wembley Stadium in London for the IBF and WBA heavyweight world title belts. He places that at No. 2 on his biggest matches list, with Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor right behind that at No. 3. Mayweather also gets the nod at No. 4 as boxing’s all-time great dominated Canelo Alvarez in 2013. Bernstein’s fifth most memorable all-time SHOWTIME moment was in Manchester, England when Joe Calzaghe dominated Jeff Lacy in the mega-fight dubbed “Judgment Day.”

“I’ve had a front row seat to watch great champions in great matches,” Bernstein said. “And I’ve participated in what I think is the best television production in the sport of boxing. I’m honored to have participated in this special period of SHOWTIME Boxing and I am energized by the great fights of today and the future of the sport.”

Bernstein ranks the legendary Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo bout as the best fight he has ever covered, followed by Israel Vasquez vs Rafael Marquez 3 y luego, the recent Erislandy Lara vs. Jarrett Hurd barnburner from earlier this year. Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Orlando Salido 1 and the Klitschko-Joshua mega fight round out his top five best SHOWTIME fights.

There have been dramatic upsets along the way during Bernstein’s SHOWTIME tenure, with Nonito Donaire vs. Vic Darchinyan ranking at the top of the list, followed by Ricky Hatton vs. Kosta Tszyu; Orlando Salido vs Juan Manuel Marquez; Austin Trout vs. Miguel Cotto and Andre Ward vs. Michael Kessler.

“Al Bernstein is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced announcers in sports today,"Dijo Stephen Espinoza, President of SHOWTIME Sports and Event Programming. “Over the past 15 año, Al has called many of the biggest events and greatest matchups in the sport of boxing, and brings a level of expertise unrivaled by any network. Congratulations to Al for what continues to be an exceptional career at ringside.”

Bernstein, who before joining SHOWTIME covered everything from Major League Baseball to the Olympic Games and the NFL Draft, is also an accomplished writer and author. He won the Chicago Newspaper Guild’s Award for best news story in 1975 and published his first book “Boxing for Beginners” in 1978. His most recent work, an enlightening look back at his 30 years in broadcasting (“Al Bernstein: 30 Años, 30 Undeniable Truths About Boxing, Deportes, and TV”) was published in 2012. Bernstein has also appeared in a number of movies such as “Rocky V”, “Streets of Gold”, and “Play It to the Bone.”

Bernstein has been recognized by multiple international and state Hall of Fames, but it has not always been about just boxing for Bernstein, or even sports. He serves on the board of directors and is a spokesman for Caring Place, a Las Vegas facility that was co-founded by his wife Connie, which provides free services to those whose lives have been touched by cancer.

Bernstein is also a singer and an expert equestrian. He has performed as a vocalist for the past 30 years doing mostly tunes from the Great American songbook. He has appeared at many casinos in Las Vegas and around the country. Recently he has been performing at the Tuscany Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. As an equestrian, Bernstein participated in a number of celebrity rodeos as both a participant and grand marshal.
