Agbeko tops Blakey; Reyes Thrills in Nashville

Nashville, TN (Marec 19, 2018) – Rising prospect Sena “African Assassin” Agbeko put another victory in the books following a thoroughly dominant six round unanimous decision victory over veteran Lawrence Blakey Saturday, Marec 17 at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in Nashville.

 

 

 

 

 

The Agbeko-Blakey matchup headlined a seven fight card promoted by Tri-Star Boxing.

 

 

 

 

 

Backed by a large group of fans, Agbeko took his time in the early going against his larger but defensively-minded southpaw foe. After getting into a rhythm, the Nashville transplant took over with a solid jab and crisp straight rights. Agbeko maintained his pace through the final bell while Blakey offered very little offensively.

 

 

 

 

 

Výsledky boli 60-54 a dvakrát 59-55. Agbeko is now 21-1 s 18 KO. Blakey returns home to Pennsylvania 5-9-2 (2 KO).

 

 

 

 

 

Exciting junior flyweight Edwin Reyes won a thrilling 10 round split decision over Mexican veteran Armando Vasquez. Reyes, a Nashville transplant by way of Guatemala, threw a tremendous amount of punches while Vasquez found some success countering his aggressive foe. Nakoniec, Reyes was the stronger and more consistent fighter.

 

 

 

 

 

Výsledky boli 99-91, 97-93 Reyes and a surprising 96-94 for Vasquez.

 

 

 

 

 

Reyes improves to 8-3-2 s 5 KO’s while Vasquez slides to 25-21-1 (6 KO).

 

 

 

 

 

V undercard akcii, welterweight Luis Galarza returned to the ring and decisioned durable Matt Murphy. Po záchvate, Galarza donated his purse to LifePoint Church. Locals Chuckie Driver, Maidel Sando and Yolexcy Leiva all earned victories as well.

 

 

 

 

“This show exceeded my expectations,” said Matt Young. “The Vols were in the NCAA tournament and St. Patrick’s Day always has people going to a number of different places in the area so I’m overjoyed with the fact that we had a strong crowd. I’d also like to commend Luis Galarza for donating his purse to help LifePoint Church. We’re growing with every show and I hope to see everybody next time.”

 

 

 

 

 

Tri-Star is currently working on a summer card. Details will be available shortly.

Michael Dutchover Dominates in Main Event Debut

PHILADELPHIA, PENN./ORANGE, Kalif. (Marec 19, 2018)–Junior ľahký Michael Dutchover (8-0, 5 KO) delivered an impressive performance in his main event debut Sobota night from the Doubletree Hotel v Orange, Kalif.

Dutchover, 20, thoroughly out boxed and outmaneuvered solid prospect Ricardo Lopez(7-2-2, 6 KO) to the tune of a one-side, unanimous decision win (skóre: 59-55 all around).
I felt like I controlled the entire fight from beginning to end,” remarked Dutchover, who is co-promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing. “He tried to come on late in the fight, but it was too late for him. I had already figured him out.
Naozaj, Dutchover put his stamp on the fight from the outset. The first three rounds consisted of the Texas native firing shots from a variety of angles. Lopez, who is based in Tijuana, Mex., tried to get back in the game in the fourth and fifth rounds, but Dutchover used his counter punching ability to stymie the attack.
Prior to the fight, Dutchover promised to show off a more polished skill set after recently working as the chief sparring partner to world champion Oscar Valdez. He certainly looked like the high-end prospect that many predicted he would become once his impressive amateur run came to a close.
I wanted to be smart out there,” said Dutchover after the fight. “You can’t overwhelm everyone with natural ability. At some point you’re going to have to think your way out of a tough situation. I think I showed off my ring IQ tonight [Sobota].”

Split-T Management Signs 5 time NY Daily News Golden Gloves Champion and 2017 US National Welterweight Champion Brian Ceballo

New York, NY (Marec 19, 2018)–Split-T Management is proud to announce the signing of 5-time New York Golden Gloves champion and 2017 United States Amateur champion Brian Ceballo to a management contract.

 

 

 

 

 

The 24 year-old is a native of Brooklyn, New York had a stellar amateur career that saw him win 17 National championships beginning at 11 years old when he won the National Silver Gloves championship.

 

 

 

 

Ceballo, who began boxing at 8 years-old won 11 National titles as a junior and 6 National titles as a senior which includes the 2016 National Golden Gloves title, 2017 United States National Title.

 

 

 

 

Ceballo also captured the 2014 World Series of Boxing Team Trials, and was a Olympic trials semifinalist.

 

 

 

 

Okrem boxu, Ceballo is a well rounded individual as he plays the piano, guitar, and has been singing since he was 15 rokov starý.

 

 

 

 

Brian has been the top amateur welterweight in New York, as well as the United States for the past several years. He has proven time and time again that he is an elite fighter and I’m glad he decided to have Split-T Management guide his professional career to the top of the welterweight division,” said Split-T Management CEO David McWater.

 

 

 

 

I first met (CEO of Split-T Management) David McWater at the 2016 Národná Golden rukavice, which I won. I wasn’t ready to turn professional, but we talked. I told him when I do turn professional, you will be the first I talk to,” said Ceballo. “Po tom, we kept in touch and after I won the US Nationals Championships in 2017, I reached out to him and said that I wanted to turn professional. I would talk to other managers, some who appeared to offer me better deals, but I decided to sign with him because I had a great relationship with him, and I liked him as a person. I felt that he would do the best for my career.

 

 

 

 

Ceballo sees himself as a player in the competitive 147-pound division.

 

 

 

 

The welterweight division has always been a glamour division where the best fighters are at. In a few years, I will be up there with best and become a world champion!”

 

 

 

 

The 5’10Ceballo has a diverse style which he feels will help him excel to the top of the division.

 

 

 

 

“Môžem box, and I can punch, but what separates me from the others is that I am a very smart fighter and can adapt to any opponent. You will never see me fight the same way!”

 

 

 

 

Said Tim VanNewhouse of Split-Management, “Brian is an exceptional talent. He is a well-rounded exciting fighter who has won over two hundred amateur bouts and several national titles. With his accomplishments and maturity I think we will see him move quickly and successfully through the pro ranks.

 

 

 

 

Ceballo, whose parents are from the Dominican Republic, is trained by Robert Pagan.

 

 

 

 

Brian is signed to promoter, Tom Loeffler’s 360 Promotions and makes pro debut on Marec 27 at The Avalon Theater in Hollywood, AKO.

2001 Fight of the Year Reunion for final stop of 2018 USA vs. Prehliadka Írsko - severovýchod

Emanuel Augustus joins special guests Micky Ward & Steve Smoger to complete memorable fight
Marec 21 v Manchestri, NH
COLORADO SPRINGS, Klin. (Marec 19, 2018) – Retired pro boxer Emanuel Augustus has confirmed his attendance this week at a USA Boxing-hosted reunion of the 2001 Boj roka, associated with the final stop on the 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour festivities in Manchester, New Hampshire.
The 2001 Fight of the Year was held July 13, 2001, at Hampton Beach Casino in Hampton, NH., and it is still considered one of the greatest matches ever broadcast on ESPN. “Írsky” Micky Ward won an incredibly entertaining, back-and-forth junior welterweight match-up withboxing culthero Emanuel Augustus, by way of a 10-round unanimous decision that was much closer than the judgesscoring indicated (98-90, 96-91, 96-94).
Ward versus Augustus was truly the event of the year in boxing and we’re so happy it was held right here in New Hampshire,” said Stephen, who has been in his position as chairman since 1974, “Micky was losing the fight until the later rounds. As the chairperson of he commission, I checked the judgesscorecards after six or seven rounds and Micky was losing. Potom, Micky caught Augustus, dropped and really hurt him. He went on to win a great fight.
The high-profile win positioned Ward for what turned out to be his epic Gatti trilogy, while Augustus went on to become one of the most dangerous, upset-minded opponents in boxing. Vizita, Augustus and the third man in the ring that night, Hall of Fame referee Steve Smoger, will host as USA Alumni Association event Tuesday, More. 20 at The Shaskeen Pub & Restaurant (909 Elm St. v Manchestri), počnúc 6 p.m. A.
The trio will also be joined by two others closely associated with the 2001 Boj roka, Chairman of the New Hampshire Boxing and Wrestling Commission, Bobby Stephen, as well as International matchmaker, Eric Bottjer, who made the Ward-Augustus fight in 2001.
All five will also attend the USA Boxing Alumni Association event as well as the following night’s (More. 21) USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour finale at the Manchester Downtown Hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire.
SPECIAL MANCHESTER AMATEUR BOXING MATCH ADDED
A special lightweight novice WILL open the competition, showcasing two Manchester amateur boxers, Abhisek Thapa (Title Boxing Club) a Michael Correa (Manchester PAL).
Presented by Corona Premium, the Manchester event will start at 7 p.m. EST, and it also serves as a fundraiser for another partner of the show, the Manchester PAL Boxing Club.
Vstupenky sú cenovo na $20.00 pre všeobecné prijatie, $30 for reserved ringside seats, and available to purchase on Seacoast Ticket Agency’s website, www.seacoastticket.com, the official ticket distributor for the event.
We’re so happy to have the USA-Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour here in Manchester,” Stephen added. “The talent on both squads is extraordinary. We’re honored to have these two teams here for this big event. It’s a credit to USA Boxing and (special events director) Al Valenti, who has done so much over the years for boxing in New Hampshire. Boxing was very popular here many years ago. People turned out in droves to attend the Golden Gloves. There’s a boxing resurgence and that’s so important to teach young people discipline, respect and conditioning that’s so needed today. These amateurs do their best for the love of boxing; they aren’t in it for money like professionals.
Micky is honorable, a real nice person. It means a lot for local fans and boxers to meet him. We were fortunate to have him fight in New Hampshire on serval occasions and nobody who watched his fight Augustus or his trilogy with Arturo Gatti will never forget.”.
