NEWARK, N.J. (Oktober 13, 2017) – Unbeaten contender Maciej Sulecki will face his toughest competition since moving to the super welterweight division when he takes on former title challenger Jack Culcay in a special undercard attraction on Lørdag, Oktober 21 fra Prudential Center i Newark, N.J.
Sulecki was unbeaten in his first 23 pro kamper, all at middleweight, including a dominant stoppage of then unbeaten contender Hugo Centeno Jr. i juni 2016. He’s scored two straight knockouts in 2017 after making the move down to 154-pounds.
“My promoter suggested I move down in weight so I tested it, and I liked it right away,” said Sulecki. “I’m a very stubborn man, who will most likely do the opposite of what I’m told, but this has made me a better fighter. I’m happy to be part of this division. I have the same strength, but with more speed and more precision in my punches.
Culcay won eight fights in a row from 2013 til 2016, including a decision over Maurice Weber that helped him capture an interim super welterweight title in 2015. He continued to defend that belt until losing a close split-decision to Demetrius Andrade in a world title showdown in March.
“On paper he is my toughest opponent,” said Sulecki. “You never know what will happen. I hope that Culcay is as good as advertised. He’s an intelligent fighter, he moves well and is technically skilled. It could have been an off night, but he made Andrade look bad in their bout.
“I never thought that Culcay would fight outside of Germany, but I’m glad that he changed his mind. He will be a great addition to my resume of victories. I am an aggressive fighter, but I’m going to replace aggression with terror for this fight. I’m going to terrorize him from the opening bell.”
If Sulecki can live up to his words on October 21, a world title shot in the deep and talented 154-pound division could be on the horizon.
“Everyone knows that I want the belt as soon as possible,” said Sulecki. “This is a great chance for me to prove I deserve it. I couldn’t imagine a better place to have a real evenly-matched fight. I know the crazy Polish fans will be in the building and cheering hard. What more motivation could I need to be at my best?”
Den Oktober 21 begivenheten er ledet av World Boxing Super Series cruiserweight-kvartfinaleoppgjøret mellom IBF Champion Murat Gassievog tidligere verdensmester i cruiservekt Krzysztof Wlodarczyk live på AUDIENCE Network. Utvalgte kamper inkluderer også polsk konkurrent Mateusz Masternak overfor en gang slått Stevens Bujaj in a WBSS cruiserweight reserve match.

LEO SANTA CRUZ
“Jeg er veldig glad for å være i denne posisjonen. Jeg kommer til å gi et flott show til fansen. Det er mange flotte jagerfly her, og vi skal alle prøve å prestere kveldens beste.
“Jeg vil bare gi fansen en god kamp. Jeg kommer til å bringe kampen til Avalos, og jeg håper han forblir der og ser ut til å gjøre det til en krig også.
“Jeg er forberedt, motivert og fokusert. Jeg trenger å vinne på lørdag slik at jeg kan få Mares-omkampen. Det er kampen vi ønsker.
“Jeg overser definitivt ikke Avalos. Jeg vet at jeg må kjempe mot en farlig fyr. Han kommer for å ta beltet mitt, og han bryr seg ikke om noen kamp jeg vil ha i fremtiden.
“Jeg håper at alle fansen mine liker denne kampen fordi jeg kommer til å gi alt. Vi jobbet veldig hardt og trente veldig bra for denne kampen. Jeg må ta vare på Avalos før jeg kan bekymre meg for andre kamper.
“Jeg forbereder alltid det samme for mine motstandere. Folk har sine meninger om hver fyr, men jeg respekterer alle mine motstandere på samme måte.
“Vi har jobbet med allsidighet under treningsleiren. Du vet aldri hvordan en motstander kommer ut, så jeg må være klar til å gjøre hva som helst og justere i ringen.
“Det er viktig for meg å gi fansen i Sør-California en god kamp. Dette er de beste kampfansen, og jeg skylder dem alltid å være på mitt beste.

“Jeg er glad Leo tok denne kampen og ga meg muligheten til å bevise meg selv. Jeg vet at jeg fortsatt har mye å gi, og dette er akkurat sjansen jeg trenger for å vise alle det.
“Jeg er veldig trygg på å gå inn i denne kampen. Leo og jeg sparret mye da vi var amatører. Jeg kommer til å ta den erfaringen og bruke den til min fordel på lørdag.

“Jeg ser definitivt noe av meg selv Gutierrez. Jeg var en gang den unge fighteren som ønsket å opprøre den etablerte veteranen. Det er derfor jeg har trent for denne kampen som om jeg møter noen av mesterne eller toppkjemperne. Jeg vet at det er en tøff kamp, ​​og jeg vil være klar.

“Kamper som disse er kamper som alle vinnere må gjennom før de når toppnivået. Det er viktig å vinne, men også for å imponere når jeg er i ringen.
“DeMarco er en fyr med mye erfaring, så jeg vet at han tror han har den fordelen over meg. Alt jeg kan gjøre er å være på mitt beste. Jeg er sikker på at min ungdom, hastighet og kraft vil være forskjellen til slutt.

ANTONIO DeMarco

“Jeg vil også takke Eddie Ramirez for å ha lagt ned arbeidet og akseptert denne kampen. Jeg vet at han vil komme forberedt for å gi fansen et flott show.
“Det er en velsignelse å være på et kort av denne størrelsesorden. Med gutter som Leo Santa Cruz og Abner Mares, Jeg kan ikke understreke hvor velsignet jeg føler meg. Jeg gleder meg til å komme inn i ringen.
“Jeg har satt meg gjennom en kjempefin treningsleir for det jeg håper blir en kjempekamp. Jeg er klar til å bevise for meg selv. Jeg vil vise fansen det når ting blir vanskelig, du kan fortsatt overvinne og gå seirende ut.”
RICHARD Schaefer, Styreformann & CEO i Ringstar Sports
“Det blir festtid denne lørdagen fra StubHub Center. Det vil være en rekke mestere, inkludert Mikey Garcia og mange flere, på fanfesten på lørdag ettermiddag kl12:30 pm. Levende musikk, foodtrucks og autografsigneringer for alle fans, så sørg for å møte opp tidlig.
“Dette er et flott utstillingsvindu for boksingsporten og for disse flotte fighterne her oppe. Denne handlingen vil bli sett over hele verden, og vi er takknemlige for å ha sjansen til å løfte opp disse flotte jagerflyene.
“Dette er et 12-kamp kort som skal være en boksefestival på StubHub Center. Foruten de tre TV-kampene har vi to stigende olympiere i Eimantas Stanionis og Mexicos Misael Rodriguez, den første meksikanske olympieren som tok med seg en medalje hjem i 16 år.
“Eddie Ramirez øker i sporten, og han vil møte et veldig kjent navn innen boksing i Antonio DeMarco. DeMarco vet at dette er hans sjanse til å bevise at han fortsatt har mye igjen, men Ramirez vil prøve å legge til et annet navn til sin kandidat-CV.
“Andres Gutierrez har en mulighet til å gå inn mot en sann legende innen sporten i Abner Mares. Du får ikke alltid en ny sjanse i denne sporten, så jeg vet at Gutierrez kommer til å være forberedt. Dette er en kamp du ikke vil gå glipp av.
“Abner er en sann student av sporten, og han har hatt mange gode trenere i livet sitt. Vi har sett hva som skjedde med hvordan Abner gjenoppfant seg selv ved å jobbe med Robert Garcia. Noen hadde avskrevet ham, men han beviste at han fortsatt er blant eliten.
“Hovedbegivenheten er en annen kamp som vil bringe non-stop action. Chris Avalos vet at dette er hans øyeblikk, kanskje hans siste sjanse, å fange en verdenstittel. Dette er den typen kamper som du virkelig ikke kan undervurdere motstanderne deres, fordi de kommer klare til å ta det fra deg.
“Leo Santa Cruz er en sann mester for denne sporten og virkelig en av dens’ fineste konkurrenter. Han er non-stop action hver gang han slåss, og jeg vet det med denne sjansen til å opptre på FOX og FOX Deportes, han vil være på sitt beste.”

Here’s what the fighters had to say on Thursday:
ERISLANDY LARA
“På Oct.14, I will show why I’m the No. 1 fighter in the division.
“Just another day at work; another day at the office for me. I have to do what I have to do and be a smart boxer to win this fight. I’m going to have to show a little bit of everything: show my boxing, and show my power. He will see a little bit of everything på lørdag natt.
“Absolutely I want to unify. That’s what I’m here for – to win all the belts. Etter denne kampen, hopefully one of these young guns will step up to the plate and fight me.
“I will show everybody I’m the best in the 154-pound division, and I’m here for a long time. It’s very important to bring this world title back to the people of Houston. There’s been a lot of tragedy in Houston, and I hope with this win it brings just a little bit of joy to my fans and people going through a hard time.”
TERRELL GAUSHA
“This is going to be my best performance to date and I look to be sharp and focused. I love the competition and the tough challenges, and I look to be at point på lørdag natt.
“It’s time for the young guys and Olympians like me, Errol Spence and Rau’Shee Warren to take over. It’s our time.
“I’ve got a huge support system in Cleveland and my mom has a busload of people coming to see me. To have fans like that come and support you makes you want to dig down deep and get that win.”
JERMELL Charlo
“We had a strong camp with my sparring partners in Dallas. We know who’s below us. This young guy here [Lubin] has a big fight coming up. I already know what I have to do. They got to be the ones that try and figure out a game plan. Try and come up with a ‘Plan B’ or ‘Plan A.’ You got a lot of hype man, a lot of people around you buzzing. They keep you going, they keep you rowdy. That’s good. We clap too, we love it. We enjoy it. Men Lørdag natt, the fight that I thought should have been the main event of the card is going to be the one that steals the show. We did this before, we will do it again.
“I’m undefeated, he’s undefeated. Regardless of if he has the same amount of fights that I have, han er sulten. He’s been running his mouth a lot lately. That has a lot to do with the reason why my team gets rowdy. We get rowdy and that’s the kind of energy we feed off of. When you continue to do what you do, I just got to back it up in the ring and I can’t worry about what my opponent says and what his team says, because nobody has to fight but us.
“Let’s get in there and get comfortable in the ring. Hopefully I make him pay for the mistakes he’s making right now.
“It’s so important for me to bring a world title back to Houston. I told my brother [Jermall] that I’m competing with one of his knockouts against an undefeated fighter. It’s not about the world title because my city needs it. My family needs it. My son loves it. Derfor, I’ve got my life on the line.”
ERICKSON LUBIN
“Jeg er veldig spent. Jeg er veldig trygg, I had a great training camp and I’m just ready to go på lørdag.
“I hear it a lot, that I’m younger and he’s more experienced. It doesn’t really get to me, I know it is a huge step up because I’m fighting for the WBC title, not because of my opponent. I’ve seen everything in the ring. I’ve seen all types of fighters through training, fighting and through amateurs so this is definitely a big step up when it comes to me fighting for the WBC title.
“This definitely should have been the main event, but you got an experienced guy like Lara in the main event, which I don’t complain about. I know I got to go in there and take care of business. We’re both young. I’m not even in my prime yet. I’m ready to capture this title and I’m hungrier than ever and I know he’s hungry. He’s fairly young and we’re both undefeated and we both have a huge entourage. We’re just backed up by a lot of people and we got hype behind us. We’re ready to see who’s the hype and who’s the real deal.
“Orlando hasn’t had a champion in a very long time, or maybe never. Dette betyr alt. I’ll be a big, huge inspiration to Orlando. I am already a huge inspiration to Orlando. I can’t wait to bring it back to Orlando to give more people hope to go out there and do something positive.”
JARRETT HURD
“I’m feeling great. I’m right on weight. Like I said, this is the fight I’ve been waiting for and that I’ve wanted, so I’m ready to fight.
“I really want to go out here and make a statement and be the first to stop Austin Trout and send him into retirement.
“Her er tingen, in my last four televised fights I’ve never possessed the same style. Austin Trout doesn’t know what style I’m coming out with in this fight. I never look the same in any of my fights so he can say that he prepared for a toe-to-toe matchup and that he prepared for me moving around, but he doesn’t know what I’m bringing to the table. I’ve got a couple tricks up my sleeve.
“[My height] is going to be a big factor because he’s going to try and move around and box from the outside, but I’m the taller, longer guy. So it’s going to be hard for him to stay on the outside, let alone stay on the inside, which he isn’t going to want to do either because I’m the bigger guy. It’s going to play a big factor and make it more difficult than he thinks.
“They say it’s easier to become a champion than to defend a belt. Right now this is my chance to defend my title and bring it back home. I can’t wait to represent.”
AUSTN TROUT
“Når jeg blir mester på lørdag night I will continue to represent this game with class and dignity. I know this sounds like a campaign speech, but the beautiful part about it is that I don’t need your votes. I don’t need anyone to vote me in. I get to go in there and take it with my two hands. I have the faith that I can do it, but we all know faith without works is dead. But I’ve put in the work. So I have faith in the work behind me. My experience is just the icing on top to go in there and become the two-time world champion and stake the claim as the best 154-pounder in this game.
“Ærlig, I didn’t see a big frame up there, I just saw a tall guy. His shoulders look lean and his arms look lean. Either he’s sucking down for weight, or he’s just a little guy in a big, tall man’s body.
“He’s right in saying the fight isn’t going to go the distance, but it’s funny because he’s not going to be the one doing the knocking out. You know this man isn’t going to last 12 runder.
“I’m going to drown this kid. We’re taking him into deep waters. He’s never been there. This is unchartered territory for him.
“Two-time Trout. Jeg liker at. I need that belt in order to solidify my legacy.”
LOU DiBELLA, CEO of DiBella Entertainment
“This is as good as it gets in boxing. We hope to have as many regular boxing fans in that room as we possibly can. You can get a great seat for the price of what you pay for a Pay-Per-View telecast. This quality of boxing has been emblematic of SHOWTIME’s boxing program in the last few years.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive Vice President/General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports
“This event will be the 25th boxing event at Barclays Center i fem år. I need to recognize Barclays Center and their staff because there are not that many venues supporting and contributing to this sport the way Barclays Center is. More than half of those shows have been on SHOWTIME as we’ve done 12, and two have been on CBS.
“We’ve set a very high bar with those events. Fighters know and promoters know – everyone knows that when you fight on SHOWTIME at Barclays Center it’s a big and exciting night in boxing.
“Fight fans sometimes complain that having multiple belts or multiple champions is complicated and confusing. But in this division, it’s not. I’ll make it really simple: these guys up here are the best guys in the division. Det er alt. Who’s at No. 1 and who’s the best? I can’t tell you. But it’s one of these six guys. So this kommer lørdag you will see the best in the division, and they’ll be fighting each other.”

Legg igjen en kommentar

FOR UMIDDELBAR RELEASE
PHILADELPHIA – Philly super middleweight Taneal Goyco, returns to the Briscoe Awards for his second-ever trophy for the “Upset of the Year”. Goyco won the same award two years ago and repeats for 2016, with his shocker over rising Maryland prospect Jerry Odom.
The pair met on November 11, 2016, i 2300 Arena i South Philadelphia, and after a rocky start, Goyco punched his way back into the fight was declared the upset winner by TKO after five rounds.
Often taken lightly for his modest ring record, Goyco, 9-10-1, 4 KOs, has made pulling upsets his specialty. He’s recorded the “Upset of the Year” in two of the last three years.
“We’ve only given this award three times over the past ten years,” said John DiSanto of Philly Boxing History Inc. “And Taneal Goyco has won it twice. If you sleep on this guy, he makes you pay for it.”

Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita boxes in his own unique way

Legg igjen en kommentar
Oktober 28 i Worcester, MA
WORCESTER, Mass. (Oktober 12, 2017) – Once-beaten Vinnie “American Dream” Carita is preparing in an entirely different way than all other fighters on the October 28th “New England Future 4” kort, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “New England framtid”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) i Worcester, Massachusetts.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, to divisjon verdensmester Jose Antonio Rivera og hans sønn, Anthonee (AJ) Rivera.
“I am happy to have a dedicated, hard-working boxer like Vinnie Carita headlining our boxing event on Lørdag, October 28th på DCU-senteret,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera said. “He is a perfect example of why my son, AJ, and I started RPE. We want to be able to help boxers grow their careers and create a platform for them to get bigger and better opportunities.”
A former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion,Carita (16-1-1, 15 KOs) will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion Saul “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 KOs) i hovedarrangementet med åtte runder.
Carita, fighting out of Pembroke (MA), will move up in weight once again to fight another foreign opponent. In the world of boxing, not only does Carita fight, he’s his own promoter, sjef, trainer and matchmaker. Utenfor ringen, Carita is a fulltime court officer in Brockton (MA), as well as a part-time security contractor for the Department of Defense (DOD).
Although his incredibly busy schedule leaves little, if any, downtown to relax, Carita thrives because he’s so dedicated, disciplined and driven. He starts each day at 4 a.m., running or doing cardio exercising, works his day job, and hits the gym to train between 9-10 pm. on a regular basis for a scheduled fight. When he’s had some free time to travel, Vinne has gone to New York, Philadelphia and even Montreal for quality sparring.
He started boxing at seven, when he first walked into a gym, and captured a Southeast Regionals Golden Glove title but, ved 14, only boxed sporadically, until he turned pro at 20. “I definitely have a passion for boxing,” the 32-year-old confessed. “I’m a boxing fanatic. If I’m not training, I’m watching fights, live or on television. It’s my love. Boxing will always be part of me and when I finally hang up my gloves, I want to be a referee, so I can still be in the ring, and have the best seat. Jeg ønsker ikke å dømme. Bigger guys last longer than smaller fighters. I want to continue doing this until by late thirties, maybe early forties.
“I fell in love with the cruiserweight division when I saw the (Vassily) Jirov-(James) Toney fight (at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut). The cruiserweight division is hot right now with the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS). (Oleksandr) Usyk could win the tournament, unifying all four major belts, and then move up to heavyweight. That could be good for me if I was one of the eight fighting for one of the four vacant (major) titler. I’ll look for the right fights until then, against guys who’ve been around and maybe competed for world or regional titles, like my next opponent (Faraff), who is the WBC Latino heavyweight champion.”
Carita, who occasionally is forced to fight as a heavyweight as he will against Faraff, will still weigh in around 200-205 pounds. He walks around at 208 and usually weighs in at 194-196 for his cruiserweight fights. “I have no plans to compete as a heavyweight,” han sa. “I’ve fought some heavyweights and it looks better for me to go the distance, or stop, guys much bigger than me. I try and pick the right guys to advance my career.”
Why has Carita fought so many opponents from countries all over the world? Networking. His job with the DOD, before he started working as a court officer, found him traveling around the world. Wherever he went – Sør-Afrika, Dubai, Nord-Irland, etc. – he worked out at boxing gyms and made invaluable connections, establishing working relationships with many managers and matchmakers who he’s remained in contact with throughout his pro boxing career.
Because he trains himself, Carita only has one regular person working his corner, Pittsfield (MA) court officer John Felix, who he first met when they were drill instructors at the academy. Carita adds a cut-man for his fight but he tends to keep things lean and mean, even in his corner.
Nobody knows better or appreciates more what promoter Jose Antonio Rivera accomplished when he was world champion working full-time as a court officer in Worcester.
“To work full-time, raise children, train to be a world-class fighter and become world champion three times speaks volumes about Jose,” Carita commented. “Nå, he’s promoting and putting guys like me on his shows.”
“I understand perfectly how hard and demanding his schedule is working a fulltime job as a court officer and training to try to achieve his goals of fighting for and winning world championship,” Rivera added. “I am glad Vinnie has chosen to give RPE an opportunity to be able to help him get closer to achieving his dream.”

Cohen Predicting Brant Will Achieve a ‘Changing of the Guard’ Against Former Champ Braehmer on October 27

Legg igjen en kommentar
Greg Cohen, promoter of middleweight/super middleweight contender Rob Brant, says his undefeated fighter is headed for a “changing of the guard” fight against Juergen Braehmer.
Brant (22-0, 15 KOs) and Braehmer (48-3, 35 KOs) will meet on Friday October 27, at the Kongresshalle in Schwerin, Tyskland, as part of the World Boxing Super Series’ super middleweight division.
The 38-year-old Braehmer is a long-time light heavyweight world champion, who hasn’t fought at super middleweight in a decade. A star in his native Germany, where the fight is taking place, Braehmer seems to be on the tail end of a distinguished career.
27-år gamle Brant, from Saint Paul, Minnesota, is the dark horse in this tournament. With comparatively much fewer professional titles and accomplishments thus far in his career, Brant would seem to be taking a huge risk with his undefeated career.
Ikke så, says Cohen.
“We think Robert Brant is going to win this whole tournament,” sa Cohen. “You have the perfect ‘changing of the guard’ type of fight here: an undefeated young buck against an aging former champion.”
Men, says Cohen, there are some hidden factors at play in this fight.
“Braehmer is coming down in weight for the fist time in eight or nine years and hasn’t fought since losing his title via TKO stoppage late last year. I mellomtiden, Rob has shown constant improvement in each of his fights over the past few years. He’s a world-class fighter on the verge of becoming a household name.”
So confident was Team Brant that Cohen says they have no problem going into the old lion’s den to fight.

“Rob doesn’t care where they fight. He knows he’s got too much for Braehmer. This fight will be his FORMAL introduction to the boxing world. He’s in top shape and ready for anything coming his way. Etter denne kampen, Rob Brant will no longer be the secret wild card of the tournament. He’s going to win the whole thing.”

“We’ve recognized that Deontay’s opponent has changed, and we’ve restructured ticket prices to encourage as many fans as possible to attend a great night of fights, and the Heavyweight Championship of the world,” said Lou DiBella of DiBella Entertainment, the promoter of the card. “Stiverne is thrilled for this second chance and he has nothing to lose. Bermane Stiverne is the only opponent that Deontay hasn’t knocked out among his professional opponents. Deontay wants to fix that and Stiverne is looking to throw a wrench into Wilder’s dream of heavyweight unification.”
Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) dethroned defending champion Stiverne in January 2015 via unanimous decision in what was the promising challenger’s toughest fight to date.

Serrano, who was born in Puerto Rico and lives in Brooklyn, successfully defended her title with a TKO victory over Edina Kiss in her last fight on Juli 21. Hernandez of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic scored a TKO victory over Maria Hernandez in her last fight on Jan. 10.
