LAS VEGAS (Maggio 3, 2018) – Ex campione del mondo Ishe Smith and 154-pound contender Tony Harrison spoke about their respective training camps and upcoming matchup just over a week before they square off in the Premier Boxing Champions on Bounce main event Friday, Maggio 11 from Sam’s Town in Las Vegas.

 

 

 

Coverage on Bounce begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and also features unbeaten cruiserweight Andrew “La Bestia” Tabiti incontro Lateef Kayode per 10 rounds of action.

 

 

 

I biglietti per l'evento, which is being promoted by Mayweather Promotions, iniziare a $25, are on sale now and will be available at www.samstownlv.com/entertain.

 

 

 

 

Fabbro, a native of Las Vegas fighting in his hometown, shared thoughts on his training camp at the Mayweather Boxing Club while Harrison, a former title challenger, gave insight into the work he’s put in at the Superbad Gym in Detroit.

 

 

 

 

Ecco ciò che i combattenti avevano da dire:

 

What kind of problems does your opponent pose?

 

Ishe Smith: I look at all of my opponents the same honestly. Tony is a good kid and a good fighter who’s fought for a world title. He had a lot of hype behind him back in the day before suffering his first loss. I’ve been in this game for so long and sparred so many future and current Hall of Famers, I look at each opponent the same.

 

Tony Harrison: “I know that Ishe is a rugged fighter who likes to get inside, and that sometimes causes things like accidental head butts and also just makes for a grittier fight overall. He’s willing to dig deep and get muddy. He comes in with a lot of experience, which you can never take lightly.

 

How do you expect this fight to look?

 

TH: “I’m just going for the win, but if I have a shot to stop him I’m going go for it. I want to be the first one to do what nobody else has been able to do, and that is stop Ishe Smith. I think doing that would put me right back in the conversation at the top of the division. But I’m just going in there to win by any means necessary against an experienced opponent.

 

IS: “Well my biggest opponent at my age, with the wisdom I’ve gotten, is the man in the mirror. I have to make sure that man is ready to fight. That will dictate the direction this fight goes. I’ve been on a roll of showing up ready to fight recently. If I’m proud of that man in the mirror, it’s going to be a memorable fight,”

 

How has this training camp gone? Have you made any recent adjustments to your camp?

 

IS: I’ve had a nearly 20-year career but until now, I’ve never had a strength and conditioning coach for two consecutive fights. Being able to stay with one guy for the Julian Williams fight and then having him again, that’s going to be key. It helped me last fight and it’s going to keep me going forward.

 

TH: “This camp has been amazing. This has been the first camp that I’ve felt like I haven’t overdone it and run my body into the ground. I’ve always tried to go over and beyond what I’ve needed to do. This camp has just been more calculated and methodical. I’ve gotten rest when I needed it. I feel great.

 

Who have you been sparring with and what have you been looking to get from your sparring partners?

 

TH: “The atmosphere at the gym has been at a world championship level. My sparring partners have been a really versatile bunch of quality fighters. We’ve done work with U.S. L'olimpionico Charles Conwell, Leon Lawson, William Williams, Lanardo Tyner, Antonio Urista and a couple others. I think we’ve covered just about whatever Ishe could throw at me on May 11.

 

IS: I’ve sparred everybody you can think, especially for this camp all of the guys on the Mayweather Promotions team. I’ve been sparring big guys, little guys and I’ve even joked with Andrew Tabiti about getting in there with me. I’m really having fun and enjoying my time in the gym.

 

Do you think the 12-year age gap will make a difference in this fight? Why or why not?

 

IS: Absolutely not. He’s been knocked out twice. I’ve never been stopped. I do a good job of ignoring the outside noise. Age is nothing but a number. It’s totally different when you’re actually in the ring with me. I’ve always been about challenging myself. I live a fighter’s life inside and outside of the ring. I’m set up to deal with anything that’s thrown my way in this game.

 

TH: “I don’t really know how he lives his life, so I’m not really sure how his age may or may not play a factor. But I’ll be coming in at an aggressive pace, and then we’ll see how things play out. It’s a mystery for now though until we get in there and figure him out a bit. But he looked good and fresh against Julian Williams and Williams is one of the top guys in the division. So I think he’ll be confident coming off of that performance, but I’ll be ready for him.

 

What kind of improvements have you made in recent fights and how will you implement that in the ring on May 11?

 

TH: “My main thing is my confidence. I don’t think anybody can beat me when I’m at the top of my game. When it’s fight time, I’m able to implement that and motivate myself. I know in my heart that these guys can’t beat me.

 

IS: I’ve been able to develop a really strong support system in my life that’s helped my career stay strong. By using that and treating my body well, I’ve been able to last. This recent work with a new strength and conditioning coach has really been a game changer and I think can take me to another level in this portion of my career.

 

What can a win on May 11 do for you going forward? Who would you like to go after next with a win on May 11?

 

IS: A win on May 11 is the only option. I want to have my hand raised at the end of the night. The win can mean a lot. Julian Williams was in a title eliminator after beating me, so I know anything is possible. Devo vincere. It just means everything to me. I’m never going to look past what’s on my plate. No dessert for me until I finish my dinner.

 

TH: A win against Ishe would get me back to the truly meaningful fights, championship fights. I’d love another shot at a title holder like Jarrett Hurd. The goal is to get back to the top to face the best fighters in this stacked division.

REVAMPED AND RENEWED MASON MENARD RETURNS TO FACE HOT PROSPECT DEVIN HANEY IN MAIN EVENT ON SHOBOX: IL VENERDÌ DI NUOVA GENERAZIONE, MAGGIO 11, IN PHILADELPHIA

Mason “Rock Hard Mighty” Menard is focused and determined like no other time during his career.

 

 

 

The lightweight contender moved six hours from his home and two children in Louisiana to train with a new team in Dallas alongside the likes of WBC World Super Welterweight Champion Jermell Charlo and IBF Welterweight Champion Errol Spence Jr.

 

 

 

Menard (33-2, 24 KO) will face undefeated Devin “The Dream” Haney (18-0, 12 KO) of Las Vegas for the USBA Lightweight Championship on Friday, Maggio 11, in the 10-round main event of the popular prospect series ShoBox: La nuova generazione quadrupleheader (10 p.m. ET / PT) on SHOWTIME from 2300 Arena di Philadelphia.

 

 

 

Nella co-feature 10 round, super bantamweight prospects Josh “Don’t Blink” Greer (16-1-1, 8 KO) and Glenn Dezurn (9-1-1, 6 KO) si incontreranno. In an eight-round featured attraction, light heavyweight Alvin Varmall Jr. (15-0-1, 12 KO) takes on Charles Foster (15-0, 8 KO); and in the opening televised fight, super bantamweight Arnold Khegai (11-0-1, 8 KO) will face Adam Lopez (16-2-2, 8 KO) durante un incontro otto round.

 

I biglietti per l'evento, che è promosso da Greg Cohen Promotions, Promozioni di grande impatto & Devin Haney Promozioni, sono al prezzo di $125 per VIP, $70 per prima fila e $50 per l'ammissione generale e sono disponibili presso il 2300 Arena Box office o online su www.HardHittingPromotions.com.

 

 

 

“Everything has changed,” said Menard. “The way I eat in my off-time, la mia squadra, my management, miei allenatori, the way I train. Everything.”

 

 

 

The 29-year-old Menard says his home state of Louisiana simply couldn’t offer the level of training he is now getting, working with new trainers Nathan Pipitone, Maurice James and Aaron Navarro, while sparring with world champions.

 

 

 

“I’m in Dallas to better my career,” Menard continued. “Louisiana just doesn’t have what I need to take it to the next level and compete. I’m working hard here and it’s what I need. I’m pushing the tempo and sharpening my skills.”

 

 

 

Fighting live on ShoBox in 2016, Menard scored a brutal Knockout of the Year candidate over previously undefeated Eudy Bernardo and got another ShoBox win later that year with an impressive KO over Bahodir Mamadjonov. He then suffered his only loss since 2008, in a short-notice showdown with WBO Lightweight Champion Raymundo Beltran.

 

 

 

He returned from the setback in March 2017 with a decision win, but suffered a serious injury.

 

 

 

“I had a detached front rotator cuff tendon and partial torn biceps tendon. It gave out on me in my last fight in the first round. I’ve had surgery on it, and rehabbed it, and now I’m ready to return to the world stage. I’m in with a good, slick boxer, but my trainers have a game plan and we have been working on a few things that he does, just to be prepared for what’s to come against him. Sarò pronto. "

 

 

 

Menard says the hardest part of preparing to face one of boxing’s most talked-about prospects on national television is the loneliness of missing his two beloved daughters, Demi (8 anni) and newborn Amelia.

 

 

 

“I get homesick. I miss my babies back home, but it’ll all be worth it,"Lui ha detto. “It’s my job and I’m going to do it.”

FRISCO, TEXAS (Maggio 2, 2018) – Welterweight world champion Errol Spence Jr. received a championswelcome in his hometown Wednesday at Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters at a press conference to discuss his homecoming defense Saturday, Giugno 16 live on SHOWTIME against unbeaten Carlos Ocampo at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

Spence and Ocampo were welcomed with personalized Dallas Cowboys jerseys and an appearance from Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders at The Star as Spence prepares to make his first hometown world title defense. He last fought in Dallas in November 2015 but will now have a chance to excite his hometown fans in the first boxing event to take place inside Ford Center.

 

 

 

I biglietti per l'evento, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Man Down Promotions, go on sale Friday, Maggio 4 a 10 a.m. CT and can be purchased at www.SeatGeek.com.

 

 

 

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday from the Dallas Cowboys Headquarters Atrium Interview Room at the Star:

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

 

 

“Questa è una grande opportunità per me. This has been a lifelong dream of mine. I can’t wait to fight in front of my hometown fans that have been rooting for me since the amateurs. It’s great to bring this event to Ford Center. I’m happy to defend my title against a great contender like Ocampo and I hope everyone comes out and supports their champion.

 

 

 

I don’t think there’s any extra pressure fighting in my hometown. It’s just added motivation. Real pressure was fighting against 30,000 fans in the champion’s hometown for my first title against Kell Brook. This is me fighting in front of people who love me and who have seen me grow up as a boxer. I can’t wait to put on a show for them.

 

 

 

Everybody poses a challenge in the ring. Ocampo is tough. He’s young and this is something he’s been fighting for his whole life. I know he’s coming to fight. Mexican fighters have a great tradition. They come to fight and they don’t back down. I know he’s going to give it his all and that gets me motivated.

 

 

 

My motto is ‘Man Downand I have to live up to it. I don’t go in looking for the knockout, but I let it happen naturally. I let it come to me and we’re definitely going to let it happen on fight night.

 

 

 

I feel like I’ve definitely earned this hometown fight. To go to another country and fight a champion in his hometown, and to win the belt, I think I deserve to defend my belt in front of my fans.

 

 

 

It’s going to be a great feeling being at this venue on fight night. When I was a kid, I thought I was going to be playing for the Cowboys. So this is just going to be a wonderful opportunity. I’ve already talked to a lot of Cowboys players who are excited to come see me fight.

 

 

 

I do believe I’m the best welterweight in boxing right now. I’ve been trying to prove it for a long time. I’m never looking past anyone, but I’d love to fight Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter and when he’s back, Keith Thurman. I’m ready to fight the best in the division and prove I reign supreme over all of them.

 

CARLOS OCAMPO

 

 

 

I know that this is a great opportunity to be fighting here in Spence’s hometown. That’s a plus for me and it motivates me. I’m going to be ready to fight for 12 round.

 

 

 

It’s supposed to be tough with the crowd against me and I know I’m the underdog, but my mind is only on the fight. I’m just fighting one man, not a whole crowd. I know that I have what it takes.

 

 

 

Spence is a very smart and tough fighter, but he doesn’t scare me. I’ve been working for this for too long and I will be 100 percent ready to win.

 

 

 

I’ve had a very tough preparation and a very long camp. We’ve been sparring southpaws to prepare and so far everything has been smooth.

 

 

 

Being here I am even more excited and more motivated to push hard these last weeks of training camp and come into this fight at my absolute best.

 

 

 

I have been the underdog before and I’m prepared to once again overcome that. I’m not worried about what anybody else thinks of me or this fight. My mind is only on winning and being prepared to do whatever I have to.

 

 

 

He can talk about knocking me out all he wants but I’m here too and I’m ready to knock him out on June 16.

 

DERRICK JAMES, Trainer di Spence

 

 

 

Being at home, this fight is going to be about Errol keeping his focus and staying task. He’s always been able to do that. He’s motivated and driven. He’s the guy that you have to drag away from the gym.

 

 

 

I never looked ahead to moments like this with Errol, from the beginning we just grinded away day by day. I was focused on enhancing his skillset and that’s what we’re still doing to this day.

 

 

 

I’m able to keep my feelings bottled up until after a fight, because being at home there can be a lot of distractions. But of course, this event being here in Dallas is phenomenal. I’m most excited that my two daughters will be able to come to the fight.

 

 

 

Errol has been training extremely hard like he always does. On the first day of sparring he did 15 giri con [WBC 154-pound champion] Jermell Charlo and [unbeaten light heavyweight] Adrian Taylor.

 

 

 

The two of us just have to stay focused and everything comes naturally. It’s going to be a great show for this city and a great night for Errol.

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Presidente, Programmazione di eventi e sport, Showtime Networks, Inc.

 

 

 

SHOWTIME is the home of the biggest fights and brightest stars in boxing, so we are particularly thrilled to be here at the home of the best professional franchise in sports, the Dallas Cowboys. We’re proud to be bringing the first boxing event ever inside of the Ford Center and we can’t wait to show off these facilities on SHOWTIME in June.

 

 

 

This is the first world title fight in Dallas in quite some time and I can’t think of anyone better to bring that here with than Errol Spence Jr. It’s fitting that the NFL Draft was here last week, because I think that if boxing had a draft, there’s a good argument Errol Spence Jr. would be the number one pick. He’s top pound-for-pound champion, he’s a popular draw and he’s in boxing’s most talent-rich division. He has the ‘Trainer of the Yearin his corner and has won 10 straight fights by knockout, from contender to champion. That is the sign of a truly great fighter.

 

 

 

The great thing about boxing and for Carlos Ocampo, is that none of those accolades matter on June 16. Classifiche, opinions and belts don’t matter. It’s just two guys in a ring and only one man will win. He’s spent his whole life working for this opportunity and I believe that will make this an exciting event.

 

 

 

As a Texas-native, I know that Dallas is a football town, it’s a good town for all sports but at its heart, Dallas is a football town. But I have great confidence that on June 16, Dallas will be a great boxing town as well.

 

TOM BROWN, Presidente di Promotions TGB

 

 

 

 

With IBF Welterweight World Champion Errol Spence Jr. making his homecoming debut at this great venue, the Headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys, I know that this is going to be a hot ticket and one you’ll want to purchase right way.

 

 

 

A lot of hard work went into getting this event together at this great venue and we’re thrilled to be working with the team here at Ford Center to bring it to the fight fans of this city.

 

 

 

Errol Spence is one of most talked about fighters in the sport. Many consider him the best welterweight and perhaps the best fighter in the world. He’s also made it known that he’s willing to prove that and fight the best in the division. But he can’t afford to look past this young undefeated challenger from Mexico, in Carlos Ocampo. He’s fought his whole life for this opportunity and is here to make the most of it. It’s going to be a great night and a great homecoming for Errol Spence Jr. on June 16.

 

STEPHEN JONES, Chief Operating Officer of the Dallas Cowboys

 

 

 

These are two really special young men on this stage and this is the kind of event that we had in mind when we opened The Star. To be able to have great athletes like these as part of unique events at The Star is something we’re very excited about.

 

 

 

We like to create versatility for this venue and we want to bring all types of sporting events here. This doesn’t happen without the city of Frisco and the Frisco independent school district. We’re also honored to partner with TGB Promotions and Premier Boxing Champions for this groundbreaking announcement.

 

 

 

It’s known how energetic the sport of boxing is, but to be able to host Errol Spence Jr. and have him represent our city will be an unforgettable experience for all. Carlos Ocampo is a quality opponent who is also unbeaten. I admire both of you men and I look forward to watching you on June 16.

A decorated former amateur boxer, O’Quinn won the USA National Championship at bantamweight and the 2013 USA Boxing Youth National Championships. He says it’s that amateur pedigree that gives him his high “boxing IQ” in the ring and makes him so adaptable to any style.

 

 

 

“I have such great management and promoters, I know whoever I fight will be the best for my career, so it doesn’t really matter. Everybody knows I’m always in shape an I’ll be in even greater shape this time. It’s a big show, so I’m doing more of everything to get ready.”

 

 

 

“Ja’Rico O’Quinn is one of the best Bantamweight prospects in the country,” said his promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “His speed, skills and exciting style make his fights very entertaining. His fan base grows with each fight and I believe that Ja’Rico has the skills to join the list of fighters that brought glory to the great boxing city of Detroit.”

PREVENTIVI & IMMAGINI DAGLI INDUCTEES DEL NYSBHOF

 


(L-R) – Ron McNair, Jake Rodriguez e Bob Duffy
JAKE RODRIGUEZ: “Voglio ringraziare Ring 8 per l'opportunità per me di essere qui. Vorrei anche ringraziare mia moglie per essere sempre lì per me, e il mio allenatore.”

(L-R) – Herb Goldman, Don Majeski e Bob Duffy
HERB GOLDMAN: “Se ho dato qualche contributo alla boxe – spero di averlo fatto – L'ho fatto ridefinendo la tenuta dei registri e creando una nuova prospettiva sulla storia della boxe. Ne sono orgoglioso, ma non l'ho fatto da solo.”
(L-R) – Joe Mesi, Jack Hirsch e Bob Duffy
JOE MESSI: “Ho così tante persone da ringraziare per questo onore. Sono un bufalo. Non c'è più nessuno a favore di una New York, ma non lo è. Questo è speciale per me perché è la New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. Questo mi consolida e mi fa pensare che non sono solo un ragazzo del posto. C'era un enorme svantaggio venendo da una piccola città, lo sparring non era lo stesso che nelle palestre di New York City, ma ho avuto un vantaggio venendo da New York occidentale. Nessuno sgorgava come noi a Buffalo 10,000, poi 16,00 e infine 18,000 persone. Sono sempre stati dietro di me e lo condivido con loro perché il loro supporto mi ha aiutato. Il mio sogno era combattere a Buffalo e continuare a combattere lì.
“Uno dei momenti salienti della mia vita è stato combattere Monte Barrett su HBO al Madison Square Garden. È stato uno dei più grandi combattenti al mondo che ha combattuto per il titolo mondiale. Ho sempre voluto ottenere il mio titolo mondiale, ma non l'ho mai avuto. Va bene, Sono stato un po' amareggiato per un po', ma non potrei essere più felice della mia carriera. La parte migliore della boxe è la fratellanza che condividiamo.

(L-R) – Randy Gordon, Ron Scott Stevens e Bob Duffy
RON SCOTT STEVENS: “So che la gente lo dice sempre, ma questa è la verità: Devo così tante persone che mi hanno supportato durante la mia carriera. La boxe è sempre stata una casa lontano da casa per me e oggi mi sento come se fossi a casa.
“Ero 30, vive a Brooklyn Heights, e ritorno alla guida di un taxi un'attesa sui tavoli. Una luce si è spenta nella mia testa: la boxe è lo sport del perdente e io sono un perdente. Il giorno dopo sono andato alla Gleason's Gym – il centro dell'universo. Ho fatto il giro di tutte le palestre della città, promotori di incontri, manager e formatori. Ho iniziato a creare partite per i promotori e poi Cedric Kushner mi ha assunto 1980-2002. In 2002, Ho ricevuto una chiamata per lavorare per la Commissione atletica dello Stato di New York in qualità di coordinatore della comunità e direttore della boxe. Poi, Sono stato nominato presidente e ho scontato due mandati. Oggi, Sono estremamente orgoglioso di far parte della New York State Boxing Hall of Fame.

(L-R) – Bob Duffy, Henry Hascup, Bob Goodman e Tommy Gallagher
BOB BUON UOMO: “Non posso credere a questa folla. Per fare quello che facciamo, i sacrifici e il supporto che ricevi dalla tua famiglia sono così importanti e (nel caso di Goodman) è stato per tanti anni. Ci hanno permesso di fare quello che facciamo. Tutti noi amiamo la boxe!”

(L-R) – Ray Mercer, Penny Allen, Al Cole, Clay Jenkins e Bob Duffy
AL COL: “Pensavo che la boxe fosse lo sport più stupido e stupido di sempre. Chi voleva essere preso a pugni in faccia? Ho iniziato a boxare tardi. Ho giocato con alcuni e la gente ha detto che ero abbastanza bravo. Ho iniziato a boxare quando lo ero 20, Nell'esercito, di stanza a Ft. cappuccio. Quattro anni dopo, Ero nella squadra olimpica. Il motivo è che ho avuto un ottimo sparring partner, Ray Mercer. Se dovessi essere sul ring tutti i giorni con Ray, O sarei stato picchiato, o migliora.
“Ricordo che Bob Arum mi diede il suo biglietto da visita. Non lo conoscevo. Conoscevo solo tre persone nella boxe: Don King, Muhammad Ali e Sugar Ray Leonard. Non ho seguito la boxe e l'unico motivo per cui ho boxato era che avrei dovuto dormire nel bosco se non l'avessi fatto (nell'esercito). La boxe è: colpiscilo, prima che mi colpisca.”

(L-R) – Bobby Cassidy, Jr., Jaime Drubin e Pete Brodsky
PETE BRODSKY: “Voglio ringraziare il consiglio. lo sarò 70 e ho iniziato nella boxe quando ero 18. Ha creato una nuova direzione nella mia vita. Sono così orgoglioso di essere in compagnia di ragazzi che non ne hanno solo parlato, lo adoravano. Se ami davvero questo sport, devi davvero impararlo. Qualsiasi uomo che sia salito sul ring, più tutti i lavori stradali, tempo in palestra e sacrificare ciò che mangiano, ha fatto per essere il meglio che possono essere.
“nel pugilato, non vincerai ogni combattimento, ma se un combattente vince o perde, se dà il 100 percento, è un vincitore. Fanno un lavoro, corri cinque miglia al giorno, allenarsi in palestra, e poi è tornato a casa per trascorrere del tempo con la sua famiglia. Gli amici e la famiglia ti danno sempre le spalle.”

(L-R) – Popoli Darryl & Melvina Lathan
MELVINA LATAM: “Sono senza parole. È meraviglioso. Lascivo (l'ex presidente del NYSAC Gordon), ti ricordi questa storia? C'erano solo tre giudici e, per sfortuna, uno si è ammalato. Ero seduto a bordo ring senza responsabilità. Randy ha detto che dovevo lavorarestasera. Ho detto che non avevo la licenza e non potevo farlo. ha detto Randy, 'Alza la mano destra', ed era acceso. Sono stato gettato lì dentro, ma andava bene.
“I miei più grandi successi sono i miei figli e mio marito. Non potrei chiedere una situazione migliore. E Ralph Petrillo fa parte della mia famiglia; era il mio secondo in comando. Ho anche avuto i migliori funzionari: vice commissari, ispettori, giudici e arbitri. Non sarei qui senza di loro. Bob Duffy ha messo insieme tutto questo. Personalmente penso che sia fantastico. Il mio viaggio continua, Sono benedetto.”

Imbattuto portoricano pesi gallo Manny Rodriguez pronto per l'ex campione del mondo Paul Butler questo sabato a 02 Arena

Il contendente dei pesi gallo Emmanuel "Manny" Rodriguez e la sua squadra sono atterrati sani e salvi e pronti ad affrontare l'ex campione del mondo Paul "Baby Faced Assassin" Butler per il vacante Campionato del mondo IBF, questo Sabato, Maggio 5, alla O2 Arena di Londra.

 

 

 

 

Presentato da Matchroom Boxing, Rodriguez (17-0, 12 KO), di Puerto Rico, e Butler (26-1, 14 KO), 29, d'Inghilterra, si incontrerà in un incontro di supporto di 12 round per la rivincita tutta britannica tra l'ex campione del mondo dei pesi massimi Tony Bellew (29-2-1, 19 KO) e David Haye (28-3, 26 KO).

 

 

 

 

Rodriguez ha quasi avuto la sua promettente carriera di pugilato deragliata per un po 'da uno sfortunato incidente automobilistico in cui si è bruciato 66% del suo corpo. Dopo una lunga riabilitazione, è tornato, e ha continuato a, finora, 17-combattere la lacerazione tra i ranghi professionali.

 

 

 

Il 25enne era il contendente obbligatorio per affrontare l'ex campione Ryan Burnett, che ha scelto di abbandonare le sue cinture. Ciò ha permesso a Butler di scivolare nella lotta per la cintura non reclamata.

 

 

 

29-Butler, un anno, aveva in precedenza la cintura IBF, ma prima di difenderlo, ha scelto di scendere di peso per affrontare l'allora campione Zolani Tete ... ed è stato fermato all'ottavo round. Da allora ha vinto nove incontri.

 

 

 

“È stata una lunga strada per questa lotta, ma sono pronto per vincere il mio primo campionato del mondo,"Ha detto Rodriguez. "Paul Butler è un buon combattente, ma nulla mi può fermare. I have worked too hard to get here. It doesn’t matter that we’re in his backyard. I’ve done everything right getting ready for this and I look forward to bringing the belt back to my beloved country of Puerto Rico.”

 

 

 

Rodriguez’ co-promoter, Leon Margules dei Warriors Boxing, says a star will be born Saturday night.

 

 

 

“Manny has always been a superstar in the making. I am happy he is finally getting the chance to shine in front of a large audience, In tutto il mondo. I have no doubt he will win impressively and set himself up for several big showdowns in the near future.”

 

 

 

 

SHOWTIME® ANNOUNCES RAW AND REVEALING DOCUMENTARY CHRONICLING SPORTSCASTER MAURO RANALLO AND HIS LIFELONG BATTLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS

 

BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER Premieres During Mental Health Awareness Month

NEW YORK - aprile 30, 2018 – Prolific combat sports broadcaster Mauro Ranallo and his lifelong battle with mental illness are the subject of a new documentary film from SHOWTIME Sports®. BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER – named for the moniker Ranallo gave himself as a broadcast personality and DJ in the early 90’s – will premiere on SHOWTIME during Mental Health Awareness Month on Friday, Maggio 25 a 9 p.m. ET / PT.

 

First look video: https://s.sho.com/2Ft4Mig

 

 

Ranallo has Bipolar Affective Disorder, a condition afflicting nearly five percent of the U.S. population according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI.org). As a national sportscaster for preeminent boxing, mixed martial arts and WWE events, Ranallo has long been an advocate for ending the stigma of mental illness. Ora, per la prima volta, he exposes the true extent of his daily struggle. Through extensive behind-the-scenes video footage, candid personal interviews and detailed accounts from his loved ones and doctors, BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER takes an unflinching look at mental illness and its effects.

 

 

 

The film explores Ranallo’s career, including his work on the two biggest pay-per-view events in television history, and his relentless pursuit of a childhood dream despite seemingly insurmountable odds. Through this deeply personal portrait, Ranallo hopes that the film might inspire others to persevere in pursuing their dreams despite the challenges of a mental health condition.

 

 

 

“I have always tried to do my part to bring awareness to mental health issues,” ha detto Ranallo. “Over the last several years, I allowed my best friend, Haris (Usanovic), to film me at my lowest points as well as at my highest. The idea is simply to show others who suffer that they are not alone and that, even when the outlook is bleak, you can overcome and achieve success. Mental illness is a life sentence—there is no cure—but it doesn’t have to be a death sentence.”

 

 

 

“Through BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER, Mauro Ranallo has chosen to share not only his life’s dreams, but his nightmares as well,", Ha detto Stephen Espinoza, Presidente, Sports and Event Programming for Showtime Networks Inc. “Having reached the pinnacle of his profession, Mauro bravely turns his keen observational skills inward to examine his own life-long battle. The result is a raw, poignant and ultimately inspirational film that personifies Mauro’s courage and selflessness.”

 

 

 

Ranallo is a popular fixture on today’s combat sports scenes. In a career that has spanned more than 30 anni, he has called everything from “All-Star Wrestling,” a Canadian professional wrestling outfit, to historic MMA events for PRIDE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIPS out of Japan, to WWE SmackDown Live on USA Network, to many of the biggest boxing events in the world for SHOWTIME Sports. Ranallo was the first broadcaster to call play-by-play on boxing, kickboxing, MMA and professional wrestling events on national television.

 

 

 

Oggi, Ranallo is the voice of three prominent nationally televised series: Showtime Championship Boxing®, WWE’s weekly show NXT on WWE Network, e BELLATOR MMA on Paramount Network. Perhaps best known for his dramatic, excitable style, Ranallo is a student of the English language. He has already made a lasting mark on the industry having called the two biggest pay-per-view events in television history: Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao (Maggio 2015, international telecast); e Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor (Agosto. 2017, SHOWTIME PPV®).

 

BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER is produced by Brian Dailey, the network’s Vice President, Sports Digital Content and Strategy, and MALKA MEDIA GROUP. Directed by first-time filmmaker Haris Usanovic, the film is executive produced by Stephen Espinoza and SHOWTIME Sports.
