Shapiro Sports Fighters Shine On The Big Stage

Los Angeles, TAL COM (Gener 3, 2022) – One of boxing’s newest promotional outfits, Shapiro Sports had a breakout month as a handful of it’s world-class boxer’s put on dynamic performances.


On December 11th, Marlon Tapales (35-3, 18 KOs) won the IBF Super Bantamweight Title Eliminator at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Califòrnia .

Tapales scored an explosive 2nd round stoppage of tough Japanese title challenger Hiroaki Teshigawara (22-2). Amb la victòria, Tapales of the Philippines is now in position to become the mandatory challenger for IBF/WBA world champion Murodjon Akhmadaliev.

On Christmas day, highly touted Cuban prospect Yoelvis “La Joya” Gomez (5-0 5 Nocauts) made an emphatic American debut with an emphatic 1st round stoppage over former Top Rank Bubble darling, Clay Collard. The bout was seen on a telecast that was viewed by 2.3 million viewers on FOX.

Gómez, the son of former Cuban Olympic Gold Medalist Jose Gomez, destroyed Clay Collard (9-5-3) a 1 ronda. Collard is known to many boxing fans for upsetting three previous undefeated prospects. Collard had never been stopped before at 154 lliura, and was expected to give the undefeated Gomez a tough test, the impressive Gomez landed thudding power shots that hurt Collard repeatedly and forced the fight to be stopped in the opening frame.

This past Saturday night in Hollywood, Florida, Shapiro Sports undefeated heavyweight prospects faced off as Cuban’s, Lenier Pero & Geovany Bruzon, matched up in an entertaining slugfest that saw Pero pound out a very competitive eight-round unanimous decision against his countryman Bruzon.

The fight was televised live on the FOX Prelims to the Luis OrtizCharles Martin Pay-Per-View Card.

“This is by far the best group of fighters that I have worked with in my eight years in boxing. All of these fighters had statement performances that will position themselves to capitalize on great opportunities in 2022 and the future. Marlon Tapales came off of a two-year layoff to make a world class Japanese fighter look very ordinary, and position himself for the world title in early 2022. Yoelvis Gomez stole the Christmas Day show like the Grinch, and he became a name to watch for many boxing fans. Llastly, Lenier Pero and Geovany Bruzon both showed that they will be major players in the heavyweight division for years to come. 2022 will be a great year for all of my fighters,” said Shane Shapiro, CEO of Shapiro Sports.


Shapiro Sports co-promotes Gomez, Pero and Bruzon with Warriors Boxing and Boxing Major League.


Tapales is co-promoted with Viva Promotions and MP Promotions.
In addition to Tapales, Gómez, Pero and Bruzon, Shapiro Sports promotes or co-promotes: pes ploma Jhack Tepora (23-1, 17 KOs), super lleuger Abram Martinez (9-0-1, 7 KOs), de pes mitjà Landry Kore (11-1-1, 6 KOs), lleuger Fradimil Macayo (15-1, 13 KOs), super lleuger Joniker Tovar (20-0-1, 15 KOs), i de pes gall Dervin Rodriguez (8-0-1, 8 KOs).

Coyle torna als Estats Units; comença el campament a Florida

Coyle i McLaughlin.jpg
St. Petersburg, Florida (Gener 3, 2022) - El pes mitjà invicte Connor "The Kid" Coyle torna als Estats Units i es prepara per a un gran 2022.


Un perfecte 14-0 com a professional, Coyle s'entrena amb el membre del Saló de la Fama de la Boxa de Florida Jim McLaughlin a St. Petersburg, però va estar a la seva Irlanda del Nord natal els dos últims anys a causa de les restriccions de Covid. Tot i que entrenava i corria regularment a casa, un retorn als Estats Units era necessari per portar-lo al següent nivell.


"Em sento genial tornar amb el meu equip a Sant Petersburg,", va dir Coyle, que està casat i té una filla. "He estat entrenant al costat de Yamaguchi Falcao, que és un talent de classe mundial i treballa molt dur. Anem a empènyer els uns als altres durant el campament. Estar fora de casa i centrar-me estrictament en la boxa és el que em porta al mode bèstia!"


de Coyle 2022 comença febrer 19 contra l'ultra dur Guido Nicolas Pitto en un concurs de vuit rondes. Originari d'Argentina però resident a Espanya, de Pitto 27-9-2 amb 8 victòries per KO. Ha derrotat al competidor Jack Culcay, qualificat mundialment (14-0) i Reda Zam Zam (27-1) Mentre també lluita contra el madev màgic (11-0) a un empat. Coyle serà el vuitè enemic invicte al qual s'enfrontarà Pitto.


Coyle i Pitto s'enfrontaran al Memorial Hall de Melrose, Massachusetts. Només amb Boston 10 quilòmetres al sud i Nova York unes hores més avall, Coyle espera una gran participació per iniciar el que creu que serà l'any més important de la seva carrera.


"Estic emocionat de lluitar a la zona de Boston, on hi ha una gran població irlandesa. Tinc molts fans que ja han comprat entrades i un autobús de seguidors farà el viatge des de la ciutat de Nova York. El pla és sortir i donar-los una gran actuació”.


El promotor de Coyle, Jody Caliguire de Fire Fist Boxing Promotions, també es complau de tenir el seu estimat lluitador als EUA i comparteix la mateixa visió 2022.


"En Connor està preparat per fer un gran èxit aquest any. Està fent un gran treball al gimnàs amb Yamaguchi i l'ajuda a preparar-se perquè també lluita contra febrer 19º a Melrose. Una vegada en Connor s'ocupa de Pitto, que és un lluitador molt dur, serà sobre coses més grans i millors. "The Kid" té potencial estrella i està preparat per mostrar al món que és un lluitador legítim de classe mundial".


Entrades pel febrer 19 Les targetes ja estan a la venda anant a Tinyurl.com/4TMZAWXE. La targeta també s'emetrà a Throwdownsports.com. Més informació disponible trucant 978-745-4007 o anant a ReyesBoxingClub.com.

LOS ANGELES (Desembre 5, 2021) –Boxing superstar and five-time world champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis put his boxing skills on display, winning a rousing 12-round round unanimous decision over the relentless Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz to retain his WBA Lightweight World Title in front of a star-studded, sellout crowd of 15,850 at STAPLES Center live on SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View, en un acte presentat per Premier Boxing Champions.

Llegides targetes de puntuació 116-112 i dues puntuacions de 115-113, all for Davis.

The atmosphere in the arena was electric, with scores of current and former NBA stars in attendance, including Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Kawhi Leonard, Dwight Howard, Kenny Smith, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce among others.

Accompanied by superstar rapper Lil Durk, Davis entered the ring in Laker purple and gold; tassels along his trunks with the late Kobe Bryant’s number “8” and “24” on each side. Cruz celebrated his Mexican heritage with a mariachi band behind him as he strode toward the ring.

There was no feeling-out process in the first. Cruz charged at the defending champion, pinning him against the ropes and wailing away.

“That’s my style. ‘Pitbull’ is always going to be on the attack,"Va dir Creu. “I think we retained rhythm from the start to the end.”

Davis found his rhythm in the second and third, circling the ring and walking Cruz into shots. A la quarta, Cruz concentrated his attack on the body, pounding Davis’ ribs.

The 27-year-old Baltimore native turned on the power in the fourth, alternating between the right hook and left cross behind his southpaw stance. More punishing blows came from Davis during the fifth.

“He’s a shorter fighter, so I was throwing down on the top of his head,"Va dir Davis. “I hit him with my knuckle and messed it up. I hurt my hand in the sixth round. No matter if the opponent is taller or shorter, I’ve got to get through it. És un guerrer. Even though he didn’t win, a star was born tonight.”

“It was right around the fifth round I saw that his hand wasn’t working correctly,” Cruz observed.

Davis boxed beautifully in the middle rounds, firing quick shots and pivoting away from the return fire. A right hook in the eighth briefly buzzed Cruz and brought the audience to their feet. But just when it appeared as if the fight was slipping away, Cruz fought fire with fire, landing a flush uppercut seconds before the bell.

The 23-year-old Mexican picked up the pace in the latter rounds, keeping Davis on his toes and pounding away. Davis held his own, fighting back on even terms until the fight’s end.

Naturalment, Cruz believed he deserved the victory.

“Viva Mexico. I have nothing to say, the fans are speaking on who won this fight,"Ell va dir.

Following a successful title defense, Davis said he’s ready for all comers.

“L.A., we did it for Kobe,"Va dir Davis. “At the beginning of the fight, he came on strong. I felt as the fight was going, he was breaking down. But I hurt my hand, so I wasn’t able to get him out of there.

“Whatever the best opportunity is for me, I’ll do it. All of them guys are easy work. I’m the top dog.”

En l'esdeveniment co-principal, Sebastian “Towering Inferno” Fundora moved closer to a world title shot with a 12-round unanimous decision over the previously-unbeaten Sergio Garcia en una eliminatòria del títol de pes superwelter del CMB.

Final scores read 118-110, 117-111 i 115-113.

Fundora established control quickly in the first, snapping Spain’s Garcia’s head back with a booming left. The two traded evenly through the early rounds. Garcia had his moments, including a sharp overhand right in the fifth that drew blood from Fundora’s nose.

The 23-year-old Fundora found his range in the sixth, pumping the jab and using his 6-foot-5 frame and 80-inch reach to keep Garcia at bay.

“I was using my distance a lot more. I wanted to display something different than what I’m used to,” said Fundora. “Height was definitely a difference in this fight.”

Garcia struggled to land during the second half of the bout, save for a couple moments in the 12º when the two combatants stood toe-to-toe.

“Maybe things could have been different if I had been more aggressive from the beginning,", va dir Garcia. “I shouldn’t have let myself get carried away by what he was doing.”

Fundora believes he’s ready for a world title shot.

“We just beat the No. 2 en el CMB, so we have No.1, and we have the champion,” said Fundora. “Whoever they give us next, we’re ready for.”

In a thrilling back and forth, Carlos Adames (21-1, 16 KOs) overcame a stiff challenge from former world title challenger Sergiy Derevyanchenko (13-4, 10 KOs) to win a 10-round majority decision in their WBC Middleweight World Title Eliminator.

Both combatants had their moments, but facing the toughest opponent of his career, the 27-year-old Adames shined. One judge scored the middleweight bout even at 95-95, while the other two scored it for Adames by scores of 96-94 i 97-93.

“This means a lot for me in my career and this is a big accomplishment winning against a fighter of his caliber,” said Adames, who was born in the Dominican Republic and fights out of Washington Heights in New York City.

I am aggressive and speedy by nature, so I came in ready to do my thing. He started slow, wanting to see what would happen, and simply had the wrong game plan. He got a bit tired as the fight went on, took a lot of hard shots from me and it was evident that I caused him a lot of damage.”

“I expect my opponent to fight the same style. It was nothing special for me, just a quality fight,"Va dir Derevyanchenko.

“He stayed southpaw, that was the difference in the fight. I don’t know what I’ll do next. I need a little bit of rest and then I will go back to the gym because I love boxing and I love the show.”

This gives me an opportunity to move on,” said Adames. “I dominate at both 154 i 160, so wherever they give me the opportunity to fight for a championship is where I’ll go.”

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME PPV telecast, super featherweight contender Eduardo “Zurdito” Ramirez (26-2-3, 12 KOs) was in peak form, winning a wide 10-round unanimous decision over former world title challenger Miguel Marriaga.

“I would like to thank the fans, SHOWTIME and the Montiel family for supporting me. Marriaga was a tough opponent, but I managed to dominate,” said Ramirez. “I had a varied fighting style and kept him on his toes the whole time.”

Marriaga (30-5, 26 KOs) was the aggressor throughout, particularly in the first round as he backed Ramirez up with combination punching. The latter found his range midway through the frame, utilizing an accurate jab. A la tercera, a right hook followed by an overhand left floored an off-balance Marriaga for a flash knockdown.
“We started out strong, but then things got progressively harder. Having said that, we are pleased with the work we put in today,” said Marriaga. “We should have been more savvy, but we tried our hardest in the face of a great opportunity that unfortunately we could not take advantage of.”

Ramirez dominated after scoring the knockdown, punishing Marriaga from then on with an assortment of shots to the head and body. Final punch stats had Ramirez landing 280 de 762 (36.7%) total punches to Marriaga’s 159 fora de 689 (21.3%).

“Now I’m going to relax with my family and enjoy the holidays,” said Ramirez. “Then hopefully 2022 will come with a title shot for me.

Tonight’s blockbuster pay-per-view event will re-air on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Desembre 11 a 10 p.m. ET / PT. The delayed telecast of Davis vs. Cruz will open the telecast featuring WBC Bantamweight World Champion and future Hall of Famer Nonito Donaire as he will defend his title against undefeated top contender and fellow Filipino countryman Reymart Gaballo headlining in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Dignity Health Tennis Stadium in Carson.

Veteran sportscaster Brian Custer hosted the SHOWTIME PPV telecast while versatile combat sports voice Mauro Ranallo handled blow-by-blow action alongside Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and three-division world champion Abner Mares. Three Hall of Famers rounded out the SHOWTIME telecast team – Emmy® award winning reporter Jim Gray, unofficial scorer Steve Farhood, i el locutor de rings de renom mundial Jimmy Lennon Jr. The executive producer was four-time Emmy® award winner David Dinkins, Jr. The telecast was directed by Bob Dunphy. Former junior middleweight world champion Raúl “El Diamante” Marquez and sportscaster Alejandro Luna served as expert analysts in Spanish on Secondary Audio Programming (SAP).

Tornado va al cinema: Revisió remasteritzada de rocky iV

per: Tony “el Tornado” Penecale (dalt)

Aquí teniu la meva ressenya de la pel·lícula Rocky vs Drago més una foto amb el cartell de la pel·lícula. Endevineu qui va sortir amb ell!

Així que vaig anar a veure la pel·lícula Rocky vs Drago Director's Cut ahir a la nit.


Aquí estan 2 spoilers que no haurien de ser spoilers. Apol·lo encara mor i Rocky encara guanya.


Així que la pel·lícula tenia aproximadament 40 minuts de nou metratge. També va mantenir aproximadament el mateix temps d'execució amb 40 minuts de nou metratge, gairebé n'hi ha 40 minuts de metratge omès.


Ara per alguns spoilers. Si no vols que es faci malbé res, Us suggereixo que deixeu de llegir aquí.


Hi havia dos plans que realment esperava que s'haguessin editat per a aquesta pel·lícula, però d'alguna manera encara ho van fer. Els arribaré més tard.


Així que desglossaré alguns dels canvis/addicions/omissions i donaré les meves idees.


1) Nova obertura. Normalment, comença amb el títol ROCKY desplaçant-se per la part inferior fins a una de les cançons de la sèrie. A continuació, s'inicia l'última ronda de la pel·lícula anterior. Aquesta pel·lícula comença amb diversos clips de Rocky 3 inclosa la derrota de Rocky davant Clubber Lang, Apol·lo el va convèncer de retirar-se, i l'escena de lluita climàtica. Omet completament la sessió de sparring de Rocky i Apollo. No era un fan de la nova obertura. Estic acostumat a les estrenes normals de pel·lícules que duren 2-3 minuts i prepara l'escenari per a la nova entrega. No era fan de la cançó que feien servir “La més dolça victòria” que es troba a la banda sonora de Rocky IV però mai s'ha utilitzat a l'original.


2) Cap robot. Tot i que això es va veure com un encreuament entre cursi i esgarrifós (La xicota de Paulie?), l'omissió del robot, probablement a causa d'acords de llicència, significava que s'havien de tallar moltes escenes amb Paulie o Rocky Jr, inclosa l'escena de l'aniversari de Paulie.


3) La nova roda de premsa de presentació de Drago explica que van intentar arreglar una baralla amb Rocky. Vaig pensar que era bo, però van tallar la dona d'en Drago comparant-lo amb Popeye menjant espinacs. De fet, gran part del diàleg de Brigitte Nielsen es va tallar. Pot ser per ella “rocós” relació amb Stallone?


4) Es va millorar el raonament d'Apol·lo per prendre la lluita. Sí, encara apareix del no-res i es va haver de tallar part de l'escena de la taula (cap robot, recorda) però van parlar de com Rocky va ignorar el repte i Apol·lo va sentir la necessitat d'assumir-lo.


5) Vaig pensar que l'omissió de tota l'escena del vestidor abans de la lluita amb Rocky i Apollo va ser un error. No només talla una de les meves línies preferides “No vaig dir res dels cargols, Vaig dir Nails N-N-Nails” però mostra l'excés de confiança d'Apol·lo i la trepidació de Rocky. L'única part de l'escena del vestidor original que és absurda és on Rocky intentava convèncer l'Apol·lo de posposar-se.. De debò, qui posposa 5 minuts abans que estiguin programats per caminar fins al ring?


6) La lluita Creed-Drago va ser molt millorada. Excepte el tret que van deixar de l'original on Apol·lo clarament no porta guants. Es van perdre aquesta edició la primera vegada. Com ho van tornar a trobar a faltar? La lluita es va allargar i l'Apol·lo es va aixecar després d'una derrota primerenca i va continuar intentant contraatacar.


7) El funeral d'Apol·lo es va ampliar i millorar amb la seva figura paterna Duke fent un discurs i Rocky fent un discurs més emotiu..


8) Es va incloure l'escena amb la comissió de boxa que no sancionava la baralla entre Rocky i Drago tal com es mostrava a l'original. 1985 tràiler però tallat d'aquesta pel·lícula.


9) L'escena de Rocky parlant amb el seu fill abans de marxar es va ampliar i millorar.


10) Els muntatges d'entrenament van ser lleugerament modificats i algunes edicions a les escenes a Rússia.


11) La lluita final encara va ser agradable. Hi havia alguns elements afegits.


12) Dos dels millors discursos de pel·lícules es van canviar per veus en off. Apol·lo al vestidor dient a Rocky que ho entendria quan acabés es va canviar per veu en off al cap de Rocky.. El discurs èpic a Adrian on va dir que Drago hauria de matar-lo per vèncer-lo també es va canviar per una veu en off de monòleg interior. Definitivament crec que va ser un error perquè li treu l'encant de veure les expressions facials d'Apollo i Rocky, respectivament, mentre deien aquestes línies..


13) El moment abans de la ronda final quan l'entrenador de Drago va córrer des del seu seient al balcó amb el Kremlin per retreure Drago al seu racó. Esperava que si es tallava alguna escena, seria aquell. Preferiria que hi hagués una escena de Paulie casant-se amb el robot i anunciant que estava embarassada que aquesta escena. Ho odiava dins 1985 (quan estava jo 9 anys) i ara ho odio. Hi ha 60 segons entre rondes d'un partit de boxa. Aquest home va córrer des del balcó, a través de la multitud, va arribar a la cantonada de Drago, i el va increpar en menys d'un minut. Drago, per haver aguantat 14 rondes de càstig, és capaç d'aixecar-se i aixecar-lo amb un braç abans de deixar-lo caure del davantal. Parleu de prendre algunes llibertats serioses.


14) Final de la lluita. T'acostumes a com acaba una baralla de Rocky. Aconsegueix la gran derrota, el seu oponent lluita per aixecar-se, i finalment torna a caure a mesura que arriba el recompte 10. Aquest, Drago baixa, fa un moviment per tornar a aixecar-se, una cau plana. L'àrbitre s'atura sense comptar. També vaig odiar el salt de Rocky al final. A l'original, es va aixecar en l'aire mentre es trobava allà esgotat de triomf. Aquest sembla que és capaç de fer una immersió de cigne saltant a una piscina.


15) El discurs és diferent. No podia fer referència al seu fill perquè mostrar-lo mostraria el robot. Em vaig alegrar d'alguna manera que van tallar les escenes dels nens mirant la baralla. Sempre em plantejava preguntes serioses. Si Rocky, Adrià, i Paulie estaven tots a Rússia, qui estava mirant el 9 nen d'anys? El robot? Qui va a deixar un sense vigilància 9 Un nen d'anys mira una baralla on hi ha por que el seu pare pugui ser assassinat? La part del discurs que va ser còmica va ser la xerrada de Rocky sobre el canvi. Va esmentar el seu amic (Apol·lo) no podia canviar i ara està mort. Guau. Una manera d'animar la gent que hi ha, Roca!


En general va ser agradable. The changed scenes and alternate takes threw off the cadence so you were in truth watching a new movie. There were a lot of scenes in this film that I prefer to the original (the extended Creed-Drago fight, the extended funeral, Rocky meeting with the commission). There were some scenes that I think should have been kept (Rocky and Apollo in the dressing room, Mrs. Drago talking about her husband, etc). There were a few things that I definitely prefer the original, most notably the superior intro scrolling logo/final round of previous movie scene.


So in my conclusion, there needs to be a Director’s Cut of the Director’s Cut and combine the best of the original and the best of the new version.

WORCESTER, Missa. (Novembre 29, 2021) – The rematch of the unofficial 2021 New England Fight of the Year will headline the December 18º “New England Future VIII” event, presentat per Rivera Promocions Entreteniment (RPE), highlighting Webster’s (Massachusetts) first professional boxing event in 27 any, at Webster Town Hall.

Puerto Rico-native Wilfredo “El Sucaro” Pagan (6-1-1, 3 KOs), fighting out of Southbridge (Massachusetts), and Bridgeport’s (Connecticut) Carlos Marrero, III (2-6-2), fought to an entertaining 6-round split draw this past August 14º a Worcester (Massachusetts).

“I am very excited we were able to get the rematch between Pagan and Marrero so quick,” RPE promoter Jose Antonio Rivera commented. “These two warriors put their heart and soul in their last fight and the fans were not disappointed. As a promoter these are the type of fights we love to put together. Ho som 3 weeks away from another great boxing event to see some talented up and coming future champions. Webster Town Hall is going to be electric!"

Pagan and Marrero will be fighting once again for the vacant New England Super Lightweight Championship in the Dec.18º 6-esdeveniment principal de la ronda.

The original Pagan-Marrero was non-stop, action-packed throw-down which the judges’ scored 58-56 in favor or Pagan, 55-59 for Marrero, i 57-57. The scoring was originally announced as a split-decision win for Marrero but, in retrospect, both fighters have taken the emotional outcome changes in stride. Some fuel, encara que, has been poured on the fire, largely through social media.

“When the fight was done,” Pagan commented, “as a fighter, you know if your fight was won, lost or very close. It was a little close, but that I won the fight. When the decision was announced that he had won, I closed my eyes, because it reminded me of my amateur career. I definitely won a few fights, I dominated, but I didn’t get the decision. Anything can happen when it goes into the judges’ hands. The judges didn’t see me winning, bo, but then they reversed the decision. I thought that they had gotten it right and I had won, but it was announced as a draw. És el que és, bo, because the judges’ job isn’t as easy as people think. They saw ups and downs and had it a draw.

“II was thinking, here we go again, when it was announced a draw,", va dir Marrero. “Per alguna raó, every time I fight in Massachusetts it’s always controversial. I had dropped to my knees in happiness and when the second announcement was made, I thought they were giving him the win. A draw? I’m not upset but I was surprised because I felt I had won. I went home thinking it was a draw, not a loss, and hopefully we’d have a rematch. And we do December 18º."

Pagan vs. Marrero is an example of not needing two great fighters to have a great fight. They’re evenly matched and both fighters have tremendous heart.

“People had asked if I wanted a rematch and I said, si, I’m thinking about it because it was a draw,” Pagan offered. “I wasn’t going to say no if it was offered, but the No. 1 reason for me to fight him is for the New England Championship. As long as I fought him for the title, I was for it because I want to fight for the belt and that’s what is my target. That was my feeling at the beginning, but things changed a little, because he changed. I don’t know what people told him, I’m not some kid and I had a lot of respect for him. But then he started texting me. I don’t know if it was to spice up this fight, but he crossed the line. He said a lot he shouldn’t have said. I’ always humble and respect all fighters because they’re risking their lives. I don’t know why he said what he did, but he’s given me even more motivation. I want that belt! I’m training double to beat him and shut his month. I still have some respect for him, but it’s not the same.

“I made a lot of mistakes in our first fight and made the fight much harder than it was supposed to be. I’ve been working on adjustment and, amb optimisme, de desembre 18º it will pay-off.”

“I always have a little room for improvement after a fight, and we saw some things I needed to improve for the rematch,” Marrero explained. “I’m more mentally prepared to do things and will be much smarter in the ring. Físicament, I’m a lot stronger and sharper. The key for me is being mentally prepared and sharper. El seu (Pagan’s) opponent for his last fight fell out and my manager, Nate Torres, contacted me saying I had been offered an opportunity to fight Pagan. Without hesitation, Vaig dir si. I’m always in the gym and ready to fight. I came in 2-pounds under and I’m on weight right now for this fight. The only thing I had to prepare for is he’s a southpaw.

“We had a great fight. He probably thinks he won a few rounds, I felt I won the fight. He missed more and I connected with the cleaner punches the judges could see. In the third or fourth round, I hurt him with a body shot. He folded and I hit him with another good shot.”

En l'esdeveniment co estel·lar, Danbury (Connecticut) super lightweight Omar “The Beast” Bordoy (11-1, 3 KOs) faces an opponent to be determined in the 6-round match.

Promising Boca Raton (Florida) super welterweight prospect Josniel “TG” Castro (7-0, 5 KOs) is steps up in terms of quality opposition in a 6-rounder versus Lenwood “Mr. Composure” Dozier (10-28-3, 5 KOs).

Worcester super middleweight Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (3-0-1), a two-time national amateur champion and World Games Silver medalist, will meet David Rohn (0-10-1) in a 4-round super middleweight bout.

Undefeated Worcester cruiserweight prospect Derek “Hightower” Edmonds (3-0, 2 KOs), a 3-time N.E. Campió dels Guants d'Or, has been added to the card in a 4-round bout against TBA.

Worcester middleweight Eslih Owusu (6-0, 4 KOs), a native of Ghana, faces Anthony Everett (1-0), de Lawrence, en una ronda de 4.

Don King Returns to Ohio to Present WBC Cruiserweight Champion Fight on Saturday, Jan. 29 Pitting Makabu & Mchunu

Dkp
DEERFIELD BEACH, Florida (Novembre 26, 2021)—Homecoming At Last! The fight for the forgotten people (the homeless, poor, and downtrodden people) will benefit from this championship doubleheader.

The world’s greatest boxing promoter, Don King, will return to his home state of Ohio on Saturday, Jan. 29, 2022, as he presents another blockbuster for the forgotten people, who won’t be forgotten any more, world championship fight pitting WBC Cruiserweight Champion Ilunga Junior Makabu and the number one challenger, WBC Silver Champion Thabiso Mchunu.

The WBC world championship fight for the love of the people, will be held at the W.D. Packard Music Hall in Warren, Ohio. In addition to Makabus-Mchunu, a special 10-round heavyweight sensational attraction will pit undefeated Jonathan Guidry (18-0-2, 10 KOs) of Dulac, Louisiana risking his perfect record against Alonzo Butler (34-3-2, 25 KOs) of Chattanooga, TN.

Rei, who represents Makabu, came to an agreement with Mchunu’s representatives on the 12-round world championship fight, and the winner will advance to fight Mexico’s great champion Canelo Alvarez in the month of May.

Alvarez will be ringside in Warren, OH to see who his next opponent will be.

“This is going to be one action packed WBC world championship fight with a very big fight on the horizon for the winner,", va dir King. “They are both warriors and this war for the recognition of the homeless will start the new year in grand style, recognizing the homeless, and helping others.”

Makabu (28-2 amb 25 KOs) is from the Democratic Republic of The Congo, defended his championship in his hometown of Kinshasa as he stopped Nigeria’s Olanrewaju Durodola with two solid left hooks in the seventh round last December.

Makabu, who has won his last nine decisions, won the vacant title on Jan. 31, 2020 in winning a unanimous decision against Michael Cieslak.

Thabiso (23-5, 13 KOs), who hails from South Africa and is nicknamed “The Rock”, became the WBC Silver Titlist with a unanimous decision over Denis Lebedev on Dec. 21, 2019. He last defended his title and scored another unanimous victory over Evgeny Tishchenko on March 27, 2021. Thabiso has won his last four fights.

Undefeated Polish cruiserweight prospect Adrian “Pretty Boy” Pinheiro Makes Nashville debut this Saturday

Adrian.jpeg
ORLANDO (Novembre 22, 2021) – Undefeated Polish cruiserweight prospect Adrian “Pretty Boy” Pinheiro (5-0, 5 KOs) has taken an unusual route to Nashville, where he will take on veteran Eric Abraham (6-10, 3 KOs) this Saturday night in a 4-round bout at Municipal Auditorium.
The 24-year-old Pinheiro was born in Poland, grew up in Brazil, moved to Orlando and then up to Massachusetts for a job opportunity in security in Boston’s Seaport and Financial districts. He started boxing three years ago, rapidly developing into a Central New England Golden Gloves Novice super heavyweight champion, turning pro this past May in Orlando where he lives again.

“I’ve always been a fan of boxing,” Pinheiro explained, “but I didn’t box until I moved to the United States. I appreciate the art of boxing. I’m an exciting boxer who can mix it up. I fight on the outside or inside, depending on who I’m fighting, and adapting in the ring.

“El meu oponent és un zurt, and he can be a little awkward. Serà una bona baralla. He’s more experienced than me, but I’m comfortable fighting a southpaw. I’m working to improve as an all-around fighter in every aspect, mentally and physically.”

The 6’ 4”, 200-pound Pinheiro will be fighting on the “Nashville Beatdown” card, presented by Lank The King & Lank Promotions, in association with Affiliation Management.

“’Pretty Boy’ is a boxer who looks like a model,” promoter Langston Hampton, Jr. comentat. “He’s real fast and swift. He has to be reckoned with because he’s a good, clean fighter. I’m one of the promoters involved with him. He made his pro debut May 8º on my show in Orlando. With his talent and looks, Adrian could be the next champion from Poland. El cel és el límit per a ell. It’s all about dedication. He has the talent in the ring and outside he’s very marketable. The Polish need a new champion and it’s going to be Adrian Pinheiro!"

Back living in Orlando and training at the Orlando Boxing Club, Pinheiro is an avid country music fan who is excited to be fighting in Nashville, the capital of country “his music.”

“I can’t wait to get to Nashville,” Pinheiro said. “I’m a huge country fan. This is special to me!"

“I’m excited about this young man,” Pinheiro’s manager/head trainer Tony Blanco remarked. “He’s a humble beast who works hard. He works out twice a day. My only problem with him is getting him out of the gym. He is the future!

“Adrian is a big country music fan. When the opportunity came to fight in Nashville, in front of Floyd Mayweather, Jr., he accepted right away.”
Polish boxing fans are known for their passion. Waving red and white Poland flags and singing loudly, they haven’t really had many fighters to follow in the United States since Andrew Golota and Tomasz Adamek. “Pretty Boy” would love to get support from his fellow Polish and Polish-Americans.

“I’ve heard a lot about them,” Pinheiro added. “Orlando doesn’t have much of a Polish community, but I hope that time will come. I love my people!"
