‘KO Doctor’ vs. ‘Russian Hammer’ WBSS quarterfinal has fight-of-the-year potential

Efterlad en kommentar

Dan Rafael, ESPN Senior Writer
When the World Boxing Super Series brackets for the eight-man, single-elimination tournaments in the cruiserweight and super middleweight divisions were unveiled in July, one bout stood out as a potential fight-of-the-year candidate.
It was the cruiserweight quarterfinal bout between world titleholder “Den KO Doctor,” yunier Dorticos, og “Den russiske Hammer,” Dmitry Kudryashov, a pair of knockout artists with crowd-pleasing styles.
They meet in the first WBSS bout to take place in the United States på lørdag at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
“The fans are going to get an amazing show on [Lørdag],” said Dorticos 31, a Cuban defector fighting out of Miami. “This is definitely the best fight of the tournament and the best man will win. We’re both going to leave it all in the ring and fight with our hearts until the very end.
“I’m working hard and getting ready to take advantage of this opportunity. I have a strong opponent in front of me, but I know what I’m capable of. I’m going to go out there and study him the first few rounds and then break him down. I have to execute my game plan.”
Do Not. 4 seed Dorticos (21-0, 20 KOS) will be making his first defense since being elevated from an interim titleholder. With three other titleholders — Oleksandr Usyk, Murat Gassiev and Mairis Briedis — also taking part in the tournament, the winner will be able to unify the division, which is Dorticos’ goal.
“It’s an honor for me to be part of such a prestigious tournament,” sagde han. “This is my opportunity to put myself on top of this sport with the other big names and champions. This is what me and my team have worked so hard to accomplish. I want to fight all of the champions. That is my plan because I see myself as the best fighter in this division and now I can go out there and prove it.”
The winner of the tournament will receive the Muhammad Ali Trophy. Dorticos said winning it would mean as much to him as winning the other belts.
“I idolized Muhammad Ali just like everyone else in this sport, and to earn the trophy with his name would be something very special for my life and career,” sagde han.
The unseeded Kudryashov (21-1, 21 KOS), 31, Rusland, has similar goals heading into this fight.
“My main motivation is to become world champion and show that I’m the best in the division,” said Kudryashov, who will be fighting outside of Russia for the first time. “I’m the most powerful fighter in this division and everyone will see that on [Lørdag]. I have a newborn daughter, but I’m still training harder than ever and it has just added to my motivation to go win this tournament.
“Fighting for the Muhammad Ali Trophy is huge for me. It is a big responsibility to make sure that I honor his name. This is possibly the biggest prize that boxers can fight for in a tournament that couldn’t be more important.”
Kudryashov has won three fights in a row since his only defeat, a second-round knockout to Olanrewaju Durodola. Kudryashov avenged the loss in his last fight, a fifth-round knockout win over Durodola on Juni 3.
Do Not. 1 seed Usyk (13-0, 11 KOS), Ukraines, scored a 10th-round knockout of former titlist Marco Huck in their Sept. 9 quarterfinal, and will face the winner of the fight between world titleholder Mairis Briedis (22-0, 18 KOS), No. 3 seed from Latvia, and unseeded Mike Perez (22-2-1, 14 KOS), a Cuban defector now based in Ireland, in the semifinals in early 2018. Briedis and Perez meet Syv. 30 at Riga Arena in Riga, Letland.
The Dorticos-Kudryashov winner advances to the semifinals to face the winner of the fight between world titleholder and No. 2 seed Murat Gassiev (24-0, 17 KOS), Rusland, and unseeded mandatory challenger and former titlist Krzysztof Wlodarczyk (53-3-1, 37 KOS), Polen, who meet Oktober. 21 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The finals are due to take place in May.
Lørdagens card will also feature a 10-round cruiserweight fight between tournament alternates Keith Tapia (17-1, 11 KOS), 27, Bronx, New York, and former world title challenger Lateef Kayode (21-1, 16 KOS), 34, a Nigeria native fighting out of Los Angeles.
Desuden, former four-division world titleholder Nonito Donaire, out of action since losing his junior featherweight world title by controversial decision to Jessie Magdaleno nearly a year ago, will return to face Ruben Garcia Hernandez in his first fight since signing with Ringstar Sports promoter Richard Schaefer.
Donaire (37-4, 24 KOS), 34, den “Filipino Flash” who lives in Las Vegas, is returning to featherweight, where he once held a world title, to face Garcia Hernandez (22-2-1, 9 KOS), 24, Golf, i en 10-round Bout. A Donaire victory likely will propel him into a much bigger fight in the first part of the 2018.

FNU Combat Sports Show: Canelo/GGG controversy, Featured Guest Eddie Barraco

Efterlad en kommentar

This episode of the FNU Combat Sports Show features special guest Eddie Barraco. Eddie was a fighter who last connected with us when MySpace was still cool (tjek Eddie’s Facebook page Here), and it’s been too long. We cover a wide range of issues and catch up on what he’s been up to as a first class MMA trainer in Las Vegas. Tom, Tony and Rich also discuss the abhorrent judging of Adelaide Byrd, who scored the Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin fight 118-110 in favor of Canelo, who by most accounts lost a close fight at best. Additionally we touch on Ana Julaton’s transition from boxing to MMA, Conor McGregor’s upcoming appearance before congress, and former heavyweight champion boxer Michael Moorer’s new job punching out looters in Florida.

Michael Dutchover retter på sparringsessioner med Oscar Valdez & Jessie Magdaleno

Efterlad en kommentar

PRESSEMEDDELELSE
ORANGE, Calif. (Syv. 21, 2017) – Top junior letvægtsudsigt Michael Dutchover (5-0, 4 KOS) markerer hans tilbagevenden til ringen denne fredag nat mod Billede af Carlos Flores (4-5-1, 3 KOS) i en præsenteret 6-runde kamp på “Ny Blood” underkort.

Fem-kamp showet, forfremmet af Thompson Boxing Promotions, finder sted på Doubletree Hotel i Ontario, California.

Billetter til “Ny Blood” er prissat til $40, $60, & $100 og kan købes ved at ringe 714-935-0900, eller besøger ThompsonBoxing.com.

Dutchover, en dygtig amatør, der fik en bronzemedalje i USA. Olympiske forsøg i 2015 og en andenplads ved National Golden Gloves-konkurrencen et år senere, blev professionel sidste år og har allerede en fanvenlig stil.

Thompson Boxing fangede Midland, Tex. indfødt og fik sin tilgang til at flytte til Los Angeles-området, hvordan det var at sparre med to verdensmestre, og hans udsigter på fredagens kamp.

Din træningslejr var ulig nogen anden, idet du sparrede mod verdensmestre Oscar Valdez og Jessie Magdaleno, samt blue-chip udsigten Michael Conlan. Hvordan var det at gå imod et sådant talent på højt niveau?

“Sparring mod verdensmestre hæver dit spil og øger din selvtillid enormt. Jeg holdt mine egne de første par sessioner med Oscar og Jessie, og de kaldte mig tilbage til andre sessioner. Disse fyre forventer solidt arbejde, så jeg var glad for, at de bragte mig tilbage. Jeg får erfaring fra nogle af de bedste, så det er fantastisk. Det var også fantastisk sparring med Michael. Med disse tre var jeg i stand til at se forskellige stilarter, der vil hjælpe mig i min udvikling.”

Din modstander Carlos Flores har haft en ujævn karriere. Hvordan står du op til en kamp, ​​hvor du er den klare favorit?

“Du kan ikke tro, at enhver kamp bliver let. Hvis du ikke er klar til en kamp, ​​kan nogen få dig til at se dårlig ud. Denne sport er utilgivende på den måde. Jeg vil være på min “A” spil, og det vises Fredag.”

Tidligere på året traf du beslutningen om at flytte til Los Angeles-området og forlade din hjemby Midland, Tex. Hvad der har været den sværeste del af dette skridt?

“Jeg laver det, jeg elsker at gøre, og det indebærer altid ofre. Den sværeste del er at være væk fra venner og familie og være langt hjemmefra. Jeg vidste, at flytte til Los Angeles var det rigtige valg, for hvis du vil blive bedre, især i de lavere vægtklasser, dette område er stedet at være. På en given dag kan du sparre med udbydere og verdensmestre, så det har været fantastisk for mig.”

Hvordan kan du se fredagens kamp gå ned?

“Jeg kan forudsige en solid sejr for mig og mit hold. Jeg vil lade mine slag gå og bare være aktiv. Jeg arbejder ud af jabben for at åbne tingene op, og jeg vil vise et forbedret forsvar. Jeg ser det bedste ud, jeg har set hidtil. Så meget ved jeg.”

Dutchover fremmes af Banner Promotions og Thompson Boxing.

Alle fem kampe vil blive livestreamet på TB Presents: Nyt blod via vores Facebook-side og ThompsonBoxing.com.

Livestream starter kl 8:00 p.m. PT / 11:00 p.m. OG med Beto Duran som blow-by-blow-annoncøren og Steve Kim giver ekspertfarvekommentarer.

“This is definitely going to be an exciting fight but I have to focus on my game plan and being at the very top of my game på lørdag.
“I’ve trained really hard for this fight. None of the storms in Miami have slowed me down at all. There will be no excuses on fight night.
“To be a part of this tournament is truly an honor and I know that it’s going to put me at the top of this division. I’ve always believed in my abilities and now I can go prove myself against the best.
“Winning the Muhammad Ali Trophy would mean so much to me because he is the fighter that everyone looks up to and tries to be like. Lørdag night is my first step toward that goal.
“The fans in San Antonio are in for a great show. That’s on my mind every time I step into the ring and this is really a great opportunity to give the fans something memorable.”
DMITRY KUDRYASHOV
“I am excited to see all the fans på lørdag nat. We both have a lot of knockouts so this is going to be a great fight. Jeg vil have min hånd hævet på lørdag.
“This chance to become a world champion for the first time is something that I have worked towards for many years. This is my dream and the fact that it brings me closer to the Ali Trophy adds even more excitement.
“I know that I have a very tough opponent in front of me. We’ve worked so hard to prepare my body and mind for 12 rounds of war. There is no way I can lose this fight.
“My training camp has been very strong. I’ve been more focused than ever on winning this fight. I knew that I would need to have a great training camp to advance and leave here with the title.
“I always train to deliver a knockout. That is my goal for myself. But I will definitely also be ready to go the full 12 runder. I’m going to leave it all in the ring på lørdag.
“Being a part of this tournament brings me a lot of joy because it gives me the chance to fight the best. That is why I started boxing and now it is time for me to prove that I’m the best in the world.”

“This is a great chance for me to prove that I am an elite fighter in this division. I’m going to keep working hard until I get my chance at the best.
“We’ll see what happens when we step into the ring but it’ll be a lot of action for all of the fans. I’m ready to show off the ‘Machine Gun’ and get this win.
“I want to shout out to Puerto Rico because they’re going through a lot right now with the storms and they’re always in my heart.”
LATEEF KAYODE
“Jeg er klar til at kæmpe. Lørdag everyone is going to see a good show and a great fight with two warriors.
“This fight is going to be fought hard all the way until the end. I am going to leave everything in the ring and get this victory any way that I can.
“I’m ready to show that I still have what it takes to be the best in the world and I’m planning on getting this win på lørdag.”
NONITO DONAIRE
“I’m thankful to Ringstar Sports for believing in me. The second half of my career is going to be an explosion. It’s going to be an amazing ride and everyone is going to see great fights. You know I’ll get in there with anybody.
“I think that people take things for granted in this life. I want to enjoy this time in my career and make the best of it. I know that I have a lot left in the tank.
“I’m thrilled to be here in one of the best cities for boxing in the world. I trained in Las Vegas for this fight so I will be able to handle the heat all week.
“I’m ready to destroy everybody in my path. That’s the game plan. I want to get back to that world title shot. I will happily fight anybody for that shot to reclaim my place at the top of the division.
“This is very exciting for me. To be on the card with the World Boxing Super Series is a great honor for me. Having the best fighting the best is exciting for everyone and I’m glad to be here for it.”
RICHARD Schäfer, Formand & CEO for Ringstar Sport
“San Antonio is a fight town. In my opinion it is one of the best fight towns in the United States. The fans can remember countless great fights with awesome crowds and I think we will have that again på lørdag.
“I made a commitment to San Antonio and the fight fans here that if they showed up, I would bring them more fights. That’s what I hope will happen på lørdag. If you show up, I will continue to bring big fights here.
“The World Boxing Super Series cruiserweight tournament features eight fighters, including four world champions and four of the number one ranked challengers for each title. This shows the hunger that all of these fighters have to prove that they are the best in this division.
“This is the second quarter-final matchup of the cruiserweights and I have to say that all of the major U.S. boxing media and around the world are calling Dorticos vs. Kudryashov the best fight of the tournament.
“I am going to guarantee that på lørdag nat, you will see a knockout. That’s the only thing these two fighters know how to do. I don’t know who or when, but I’m very comfortable saying this will end in a knockout. These are two guys who know that this is their opportunity to elevate themselves to the forefront of this sport.
“Nonito Donaire is a legend who doesn’t need much introduction. He’s one of the biggest names in the sport because he’s one of those guys you will never see a boring fight from. He always brings excitement and he always gives it his all.
“The reserve match between Keith Tapia and Lateef Kayode is a very even matchup with two once-beaten fighters. You will see fireworks for this fantastic matchup as both men know that this win could get them into the WBSS.”

Her er, hvad deltagerne havde at sige Onsdag:
DEONTAY WILDER
“Jeg er den best. I am the toughest heavyweight in the division. Jeg er den man in the division. I don’t care what anybody else has going on. You’ve got to come through me.
“When I knock him out, I want my due respect. I’m the only American heavyweight champion of the world and I am the man. Nobody is stronger physically, mentalt og åndeligt. They are all scared of me.
“I’m the heavyweight in the division with real knockout power. I put grown men down easily. På November 4, Ortiz is going down. Efter det, you already know who is next. I’m ready to unify.
“If he’s the boogeyman, I can’t wait to shine a light on him because the boogeyman is only effective at night. And we’re in New York so you already know what happened to King Kong in New York.
“The game plan is the same as usual. We’re going to use my attributes. I’m going to set him up until the time comes. Ortiz has a great set of skills and I like his aggressive style. That’s one of the reasons I chose him. I wanted to beat him to prove that I am the man.
“It definitely won’t go the distance. Lige nu, I’m thinking about three rounds but come November 4th, it might be in the first round.”
LUIS ORTIZ
“I’m ready to go and excited for the fight. I want to get to November 4 so I can do what I have to do.
“Wilder does a lot of talking. He’s nervous and keeps forgetting the date of the fight. I think he took this fight because he has no choice and no one else to fight.
“I think Wilder is going to run in this fight. He should be careful what he says before the fight, because I think he’s going to run from me.
“Wilder should sign his death sentence. I’m very different than anybody else that he’s fought. I punch harder than anybody else. I’m going to teach him not to mess with Cubans.
“Some skeptics are talking about my age, but look at Mayweather. I still have my speed and my quickness.”
JAY flot, Wilder’s Co-Manager and Trainer
“Everything in camp has been going well. Last time we were here in New York we had a great crowd and it was a wonderful event. This will be an even bigger challenge. This is the fight the fans wanted and this is the fight we wanted.
“Deontay has always wanted the biggest challenges. We won the belt in [Bermane] Stiverne’s hometown and we were ready to go to Russia to defend the belt. These are two guys in the division no one wants to fight, but they’ve decided to fight each other.
“This is a great opportunity for Deontay to show who he is and where he is. It’s going to be well worth everyone’s time to be there at Barclays Center.”
LOU Dibella, Formand for DiBella Entertainment
“There is nothing like a great heavyweight championship fight and on November 4th, a great champion is going to fight a great contender. This is a terrific fight.
“This fight is happening because Deontay Wilder wants the world to know that he is afraid of no one, and that he’s prepared to fight anyone and he’s the best heavyweight in the world today. I could not be prouder of him for making this fight happen.
“This is the toughest fight that Deontay Wilder could engage in right now. This is the most difficult opponent he possibly could fight.
“Luis Ortiz is the boogeyman of this division. You haven’t heard anyone scream about fighting Luis Ortiz. A lot of people were shocked when they heard that Deontay Wilder wants to fight him. He not only wants to fight him, but he insisted upon it.
“This isn’t a 43-year-old champion on his last legs in Luis Ortiz. This is a hungry beast that wants to beat Deontay Wilder. But Deontay is a champion. He’s not doing this for the money. A lot of people would think this is a dumb economic move. This is a legacy move. This is a move to prove who is the best. We’re not afraid of Anthony Joshua. If he was available on November 4th and wanted to fight, we’d fight him then.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & GM, SHOWTIME Sports
“This has been a really strong year for SHOWTIME Boxing. This will be our 23rd live boxing event on SHOWTIME this year. And they’ve been important, meningsfulde kampe. Not just a big name against a nobody. Faktisk, 16 times this year on SHOWTIME we’ve featured and unbeaten fighter taking on another unbeaten fighter. We know on SHOWTIME that you’re seeing the best fighting the best. No other network is as dedicated to delivering the highest quality fights. So without question, it’s been a great year. But we may have saved the best for last here.
“We have two of the top heavyweights in the world. Both undefeated with a combined record of 65-0, 60 knockouts. This is the best fight that can be made in the heavyweight division. There is no question about that. This will be the eighth heavyweight title fight we’ve featured in the last two years. The only way to get to one unified champion in the heavyweight division is to have the best fight the best, and that is what is happening here on November. 4, and we can’t wait.”

Elite Prospect Ruben Villa Battles Veteran Ernesto Guerrero Friday Night in Ontario, F.EKS

PRESSEMEDDELELSE
ORANGE, Calif. (Syv. 20, 2017) – Ruben Villa (7-0, 4 KOS), one of the featherweight division’s brightest young talents, takes the next step in his development by clashing with veteran Ernesto Guerrero (26-19, 18 KOS) in one of two highly anticipated match-ups på fredagens “Ny Blood” underkort.

The 6-round bout takes place at the Doubletree Hotel i Ontario, Calif.
Billetter til “Ny Blood” er prissat til $40, $60, & $100 og kan købes ved at ringe 714-935-0900 eller besøger ThompsonBoxing.com.

Villa, a southpaw fighting out of Salinas, Calif., turned professional last July and already has produced seven one-sided wins. His opponent for Friday, Mexico’s Guerrero, is no push over. Guerrero has won his last five fights, four of which ended in knockout fashion.

“Guerrero’s a veteran so we’ve been extra serious in this camp,” sagde Villa. “My team believes that I can take him out. My team wouldn’t set me up against an opponent that I wouldn’t be able to handle so I feel ready for this challenge.”

Villa, 20, loaded up on top-level sparring to help bridge the experience gap between him and Guerrero. He spent three weeks in Indio, Calif. sparring against elite competition such as unbeaten, world title contender Joseph Diaz.

“The way Diaz puts his punches together was really impressive,” sagde Villa, som promoveres af Banner Promotions og Thompson Boxing. “Det var en stor og lærerig oplevelse for mig. It’s not every day you get to spar with someone with that high of a skill level.”

In addition to the knowledge learned from the Diaz sessions, Villa is attempting to sharpen his mental focus for his fight against Guerrero.

“I need to be more intelligent in the ring,” Villa said. “I’ve been a little reckless listening to the crowd and taking unnecessary risks. We sparred against bigger guys during this training camp to help me stay disciplined.”

Også på “Ny Blood” underkort, advanced junior lightweight prospect Michael Dutchover (5-0, 4 KOS), who is a close friend and occasional sparring partner to Villa, slagsmål Billede af Carlos Flores (4-5-1, 3 KOS) in bout set for 6-rounds.

Like Villa, Dutchover comes from an outstanding amateur career and also shares the same promotional outfits in Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.

Alle fem kampe vil blive livestreamet på TB Presents: New Blood via Thompson Boxing Facebook page and ThompsonBoxing.com.

Livestream starter kl 8:00 p.m. PT / 11:00 p.m. OG med Beto Duran som blow-by-blow-annoncøren og Steve Kim giver ekspertfarvekommentarer.
