Michael Carbajal Still Champion
COLORADO SPRINGS, Tour. (Mai 3, 2021) – Five-time world champion, Hall of Famer and Olympic silver medalistMichael Carbajal may be recording the best victories of his life at the age of 43 as a retired boxer. Instead of receiving a beautiful belt or medal for his achievements, Carbajal now helps build character for countless Phoenix youngsters who may not have another way to get off the mean streets.
Carbajal loved boxing from the start, cependant, he didn’t have his first amateur match until he was 14, because his father, the late Manual Carbajal, a former Arizona Golden Gloves champion, wouldn’t allow his son to box until he was older. On the night of his first match, his father reminded Michael of something he said when he was only six: “I’m going to be world champion and retire as world champion.” Michael, bien sûr, didn’t remember what he said when he was only six, but the message has stayed with him throughout his life.
“I wanted to box since I was six,” Carbajal reminisced. “I didn’t understand why I couldn’t, but my father told me to watch and learn from my experiences in the gym and at tournaments. I waited until I was 14, working out in my backyard, as my father taught me the basics. I remember hearing about kids at tournaments with 100, 200 amateur fights. I only had around 100 (his reported amateur record is 94-9) as an amateur. I was new to the sport and took my losses as wins because I learned from every fight. I still remember my first amateur fight. It’s where it all started. I lost toKevin Davis. I entered the tournament against him with no fights and he had 32. I lost that fight and wanted to fight him again. I always wanted to fight the best. We fought two more times at the state championships (they split).
“My most memorable fight was at the 1986 National Golden Gloves Championship. I still remember my opponent (dans la finale du championnat), Gary Harvey. I’ll remember that fight for the rest of my life. I won every national tournament after that until 1988.”
Carbajal first got into boxing for the same reason so many others have for decades…a tough environment. He still lives in the La Nuevo (9e St.) neighborhood. “It was terrible here when I was 11 or so,” Carbajal explained. “I still live here, but it’s not as bad now. We had shootings and gangs across 3 ou 4 blocks that separated us. I never left. I have so many friends from back then who were involved in drugs and shootings. I ignored everything because I was determined and desired to be world champion. Aujourd'hui, people who knew me back then, dire: ‘You’re still Michael.’ My accomplishments were because I love boxing so much. En 1988, Carbajal was the United States amateur junior flyweight champion, qui a vaincu Eric Griffin (co-captain of 1989 & 1991 World Amateur Championships), 5-0, in the final of the U.S. Essais olympiques, and then he won again at the U.S. Olympic Box-Offs by way of a third-round disqualification versus James Harris.
Carbajal traveled to Seoul, South Korea as a member of the 1988 USA Olympic Boxing Team. In the opening round, he edged hometown favoriteKwang-Soo OIh, 3-2, that likely came back to haunt him in the gold medal match against BulgarianIvailo Khristov, in which Carbajal lost, 5-0, in what many alleged was due to biased scoring.

Seven months after the Olympics, Carbajal turned pro February 24, 1989, taking a 4-round decision from future IBF light flyweight World ChampionWill Grigsby on the undercard of Carbajal’s idol, Roberto Duran, who upsetIran Barkley in Atlantic City to capture the WBC middleweight World championship. Carbajal’s nickname, “Manitas De Piedra” (“Little Hands of Stone’) was out of respect to Duran, known as “Manos de Piedra” (“Hands of Stone”).
During his illustrious 10-year professional career, Carbajal compiled a 49-4 (33 KOs) record, highlighted by five world junior flyweight titles. His memorable trilogy withHumberto “Chiquita” Gonzalez started in 1993 with a unification fight. They became the first junior flyweights to earn $1-million purses, as well as becoming the first in their weight class to headline a pay-per-view event. Carbajal was decked in rounds two and five and he suffered from a bloody right eyebrow, until he unloaded a powerful right smack on Gonzalez’ chin. Gonzalez was unable to beat the count, Carbajal became unified world champion in what was later named 1993 Fight of the Year by The Ring magazine.
Numerous endorsements followed for Carbajal including Diet Pepsi. After making two successful title defenses, Carbajal suffered his first pro loss (32-0) dans son 11e world title defense, et en 1994 Gonzalez won a 12-round split decision again. Carbajal and Gonzalez, appropriately enough, were inducted together into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Class of 2006.
En 1999, Carbajal announced his second comeback and after three wins, he traveled to Tijuana to challenge 21-year-old WBO junior flyweight World championJorge Arce (20-2-1), who clearly took nine of the first 10 tours, even though Arce had hit the canvas in round six. In the 11e tour, Carbajal rocked Arce with a right that sent the Mexican flying into the ropes. RefereeRaul Caiz, Jr. arrêté le combat, Carbajal was crowned world champion for the fifth time, and then Michael retired after the fight for good.
Carbajal retired with a 15-3 (10 KOs) record in world title fights, 9-4 against former world champions. His four pro losses were against world champions – Gonzalez (deux fois), Mauricio Pastrana etJacob Matlala. Known for never giving up, along with making a few remarkable comebacks, Carbajal was stopped only once, by Matlala.
Aujourd'hui, Carbajal still lives in the same house (built in 1906) he grew up on 9e Street in Phoenix, operates a gym (built in 1911), and still gives back to his community.
“If I never boxed,” Carbajal said, “I think I’d be a counselor. I’m really good with kids. I went to college for two years, but I was too busy with fighting. I’ve always had unbelievable patience, unlike some other trainers and managers, who want to make a quick buck. If they (kids) stay in the gym – not even fighting – they will learn. It’s all about kids staying off the streets. It’s not as bad here as it was before and it’s great to be helping these kids. Some come here to box, others to just workout, and that’s all good. I’m in no hurry to have (train) a world champion, even if that’s my goal, and I concentrate on giving them time to understand.”
Everybody going to Michael Carbajal’s 9e Street Gym is treated equally from a new kid to 82-year-oldPaul Taylor, who has been going there for too many years to remember. Some people go there for reasons unassociated with boxing or working out. They go there if they need help, just about any kind.
“I remind kids of what we went through (in this neighborhood) and avoided,” Carbajal concluded. “Most fighters come from neighborhoods like this. It’s not about winning or losing, although we always want to win, it’s about life. We train anybody who comes in the gym. They learn discipline and that helps through their lives. We teach giving others respect. I’m old school. We don’t have air conditioning in the gym. It gets you in great condition. Hé, I trained in a tin shed in my backyard, qui était 15 degrees hotter than outside (remember this is Phoenix where it gets in the 120’s). I love it.
“I enjoy helping, not just to box, but to be good through their lives. The discipline they learn here will help. We’re building them for life.”
Arguably the greatest junior flyweight of all-time, Michael Carbajal is still winning!

L'équipe Ortiz quitte le tirage au sort contesté Se sentant confiant Invaincu Léger Jamaine Ortiz a fait une déclaration bruyante
WORCESTER, Masse. (Avril 29, 2021) – Malgré un nul contesté avec invaincuJoseph Adorno «Mains bénies» (14-0-2, 12 KOs) samedi soir dernier à Kissimmee, Floride, perspective légèreJamaine «Le technicien» Ortiz (14-0-1, 8 KOs) a montré ses vastes compétences et son courage sur ESPN +.
Récupération de deux renversements (le premier d'un coup de poing illégal derrière la tête) et toujours en train de se battre contre le combattant du promoteur, Ortiz a remporté six des huit manches mais, malheureusement, il a dû se contenter d'un tirage à la majorité en 8 tours avec (76-74, 75-75-75) Adorno.
Ortiz, sortir de Worcester, Massachusetts, est le WBC USNBC en titre (NOUS.) Champion des poids légers en argent, ainsi qu'une ancienne titlist des poids légers WBC World Youth.
"Je n'ai pas combattu mon combat,” Ortiz a évalué sa performance. "Je me suis trop battu au lieu d'être" le technicien ". Avant le combat, Je pensais que j'étais le combattant de la face B et je voulais faire plaisir à la foule. Je ne savais pas que j'étais sur le côté A (merci à son promoteur, Jimmy Burchfield) et le favori des paris. Je combattais un gars de Top Rank et je sentais que je devais lui apporter le combat. Mémoire musculaire, Je suppose, de retour chez les amateurs. Je me battais sur sa scène, alors je lui mets la pression. Si le combat allait loin, Je voulais m'assurer que le score était clair et évident. Je savais que je le briserais parce que j'avais une meilleure endurance et de meilleures compétences.
"Je l'ai trop combattu, mais je pensais toujours que j'avais gagné le combat. le 76-74 score avait du sens. J'ai gagné tous les tours sauf le deuxième et le septième (séries de renversements). Je n'étais pas d'accord avec le seul juge qui l'avait (Adorno) gagner le sixième. Il m'a frappé derrière la tête au troisième round et j'étais déséquilibré. Mais l'arbitre fait son boulot et le mien c'est de se battre. Je ne pouvais rien y faire. Le plan était de le boxer, aller au corps, mais ne pas changer de position car cela m'exposerait. Je devais aller au corps, toujours partie de mon plan, mais je n'étais pas « le technicien ». Parfois, je change de position sans m'en rendre compte. Je me suis fait couper au septième tour (uppercut qui a abouti à un standing 8 compter) quand je changeais pour la première fois. Je l'ai géré comme un pro. Je me suis levé et je me suis senti bien. J'ai survécu au tour en me tenant quelques fois, puis je suis revenu. »
Burchfield, responsable des sports classiques et du divertissement (PDG), sait qu'Ortiz a montré qu'il est quelqu'un avec qui les poids légers devront compter dans un avenir immédiat.
« Le stock de Jamaine a augmenté pour le deuxième combat consécutif (en novembre dernier, il a enregistré un arrêt sensationnel deSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOs), qui n'avait jamais été arrêté auparavant, en septième ronde sur le Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. paiement par événement),», a ajouté Burchfield. « Adorno est un animal quand il contrôle un combat. Jamaine a dû prendre le contrôle du combat en étant l'agresseur mais, comme « le technicien, savoir quand se battre et quand boxer. Le coup de poing au deuxième tour a été, certainement, vraiment, défénétivement, derrière la tête, clairement une faute, et c'était plus un glissement qu'un renversement parce qu'il était déséquilibré. Si ce coup de poing était refusé, Jamaine gagne le combat, même s'il avait perdu la manche. Il (Emil Lombardi) est une référence de qualité qui s'est trompée. Peut-être qu'il ne l'a pas attrapé à cause de l'angle qu'il avait, c'est pourquoi je crois fermement à la relecture instantanée, et il aurait été jugé non renversant.
« En entrant dans le septième, Je pensais que Jamaine était dirigé par 2-3 points ayant remporté cinq des six tours précédents. Jamaine a montré au monde son endurance lorsqu'il est revenu si fort au huitième tour. Si le combat avait duré 10 rounds, ou même 30 secondes de plus, pas de manque de respect envers Adorno, Jamaine l'aurait assommé. Jamaine est la vraie affaire. Il a certainement prouvé qu'il était sympathique à la télévision après ses deux derniers combats et il mérite d'être mentionné parmi les meilleurs 135 livres au monde. N'importe quels preneurs?"
Gérant d'Ortiz, Dick Shappy, eu des émotions mitigées après le combat, comprendre qu'Ortiz a relevé la barre, même s'il s'est battu pour un match nul.
"J'aurais aimé qu'il gagne," Shappy a fait remarquer, "mais un match nul n'était pas si mal dans les circonstances. Je pensais que Jamaine avait gagné le combat d'emblée. Sinon pour ce coup de poing illégal dans le deuxième, il a gagné le combat sur leurs tableaux de bord. Il n'aurait toujours pas dû être jugé comme un renversement, plus d'un glissement, car il avançait et perdait l'équilibre. Il n'aurait jamais dû être 10-8. Adorno aurait perdu s'ils avaient dû se qualifier pour les rondes de championnat. Jamaine était plus habile, il a fait du bon travail.
Comptez pas moins que l'ancien médaillé d'or olympique et champion du monde en 2 divisionsAndre Ward, qui a servi de commentateur couleur pour Ortiz-Adorno, parmi ceux qui ont été impressionnés par Ortiz.
"Ortiz a surpassé Adorno, aucun doute, et il n'a jamais reculé," Ward a commenté à l'antenne. "Je veux voir plus d'Ortiz!'
Aussi divertissant qu'ait été Ortiz-Adorno – il a peut-être volé tout le spectacle – il est peu probable qu'il y ait une revanche.
"Je ne pense pas qu'il veuille me combattre à nouveau," a rapporté Ortiz. "Il a dit quelque chose à propos de peut-être quand nous aurons tous les deux des ceintures de titre mondial."
Ortiz a profité des formidables opportunités d'exposition mondiale lors de ses deux derniers combats. Sa récompense viendra certainement, à l'heure, augmenter les cotes alors que les gens continuent de sauter dans le train « The Technician ».

Jamaine Ortiz, poids léger invaincu, affronte Joseph Adorno, invaincu
“Le technicien »vs. «Mains bénies»
Ce samedi en Floride sur ESPN +
WORCESTER, Masse. (Avril 19, 2021) - Les prospects invaincus avec des victoires à deux chiffres se battent rarement en raison du risque perçu comme les poids légersJamaine «Le technicien» Ortiz (14-0, 8 KOs) etJoseph Adorno «Mains bénies» (14-0-1, 12 KOs) fera ce samedi soir, Avril 24e, au Silver Spurs Arena de Kissimmee, Floride.
Le 8-roundOrnement vs. Ortiz lutte, diffusion en direct surESPN +, sera sur la carte Top Rank en tête d'affiche (sur ESPN) par Champion du monde poids plume WBOEmanuel Navarette (32-1, 24 KOs) défendre son titre contre challengerChristophe Diaz (26-2, 16 KOs).
Les deux jeunes poids légers ont été décorés de boxeurs amateurs américains qui sont des étoiles montantes dans la division sans doute la plus chargée de la boxe.
«Je compte les jours,»A dit Ortiz à propos de son combat avec Adorno. «Je me suis entraîné dur toute ma vie. Quand une opportunité comme celle-ci se présente, Je suis prêt à faire mes preuves. Je pense que je vais avoir une performance spectaculaire et impressionner le public comme je le fais habituellement. Je me bats sur une autre grande carte; Je monte et non pas. »
Le WBC USNBC régnant (NOUS.) Champion des poids légers en argent, en plus d'être un ancien titlist léger de WBC World Youth, Ortiz, 24 ans, a récemment percé le sommet 40 dans les classements WBC à 31, et il est également classé non. 5 par le NABF.
Ortiz sort d'un sensationnel, knock-out de haut niveauSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOs), qui n'avait jamais été arrêté, au septième tour en novembre dernier sur le Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. événement à la carte.
Le seul défaut du record professionnel d'Adorno, âgé de 21 ans, est survenu lors de son dernier combat., de retour en janvier 11, 2020, quand il a combattu un tirage au sort en 8 rounds avecHector Garcia (14-7-3). Né dans le New Jersey et élevé à Porto Rico, Adorno vit et s'entraîne à Allentown, Pennsylvanie.
Ortiz peut étonnamment avoir ce qui équivaut à un avantage de «ville natale», au moins en termes de soutien vocal, en grande partie parce que beaucoup de ses amis et de sa famille de la Nouvelle-Angleterre se rendent en Floride pour assister au combat, avec ses fans de Floride.
«Mon père vivait en Floride et je lui ai rendu visite pendant les étés, et je suis allé en deuxième année là-bas,»Expliqua Ortiz. «J'ai une grande base familiale à Orlando. Beaucoup de membres de la famille et d'amis de Worcester vont au combat. Je suis surpris du nombre de personnes qui seront là pour moi. "
Ortiz est promu parJimmy BurchfieldDivertissements et sports classiques (CES), qui co-promouvraOrnement vs. Ortiz avec Top Rank, et géré parDick Shappy.
«Les deux équipes doivent être félicitées pour avoir combattu comme celui-ci.» A commenté Burchfield. «Deux invaincus, les jeunes boxeurs comme celui-ci se battent entre eux, c'est ce qu'est la vraie boxe. Bob Arum, Carl Moretti Team Top Rank est mon ami depuis tant d'années.
«Nous sommes devenus Jamaine pro et pendant toutes ces années en tant que promoteur (32Dakota du Nord), peut être, chaque décennie environ vous en avez un spécial comme Jamaine, qui peut devenir le futur de la boxe. Quand tu trouves un combattant qui peut boxer, punch and set-up his punches very well, he’s special and I feel Jamaine is special like that, not only in the ring but outside as well. I don’t worry about getting a late-night call about him. He is a total professional, no distractions with him. Jamaine works as a carpenter, he’s learning the real estate business, and he’s also looking into the medical field in the future. He reminds me ofSugar Ray Leonard etOscar De Lay Hoya. He has that charisma and is a technician in the ring. A very smart kid in the ring. He has a spectacular team of managers and trainer to work with, aussi."
“For many years,” Shappy added, “our management team (y comprisEddie Imondi) had been searching for the right boxer to come along that had the potential to be a world champ. We are very confident that we have found that person, Jamaine ‘The Technician’ Ortiz.”
Rare as it may be in boxing, the reward is ultimately worth the risk for these legitimate fighters, Ortiz and Adormo.
DON KING DEMANDE À CHRISTOPHER LOVEJOY DE NE PAS COMBATTRE MAHMOUD CHARR EN MAI 15 EN ALLEMAGNE
Deerfield Beach, Fla. (Avril 19, 2021)—Hall of Fame boxing promoter Don King has sent a Cease & Desist letter to undefeated heavyweight boxer Christopher Lovejoy, claiming he is under an exclusive promotional agreement with Don King Promotions and not permitted to enter any future fights without King’s consent.
Recent media reports have stated that Lovejoy is currently in Germany and has agreed to face the WBA champion in recess Mahmoud Charr on May 15 in Hamburg, Allemagne.
Trevor Bryan recently won the WBA heavyweight title after Charr disregarded the WBA and was not allowed in the United States due to Homeland Security visa denial of the Syrian.
The letter demands that Lovejoy (19-0, 19 KOs), who had previously announced his retirement from boxing, not participate in the bout with Charr or any other future bout or opponent.
“It is unconscionable, illegal, and unethical for you to participate in this May 15, 2021 bout or any bout without DKP’s expressed, written permission and consent,” the letter from King’s lawyer’s states. “Participating in any bout without DKP’s expressed written consent is … willfully breaching the Promotional Agreement and exposes those you have entered into agreement with for your services as a professional fighter to extreme legally liability, as they too are aware that you are under contract to DKP.”
The letter goes on to state, “If you have in fact signed to fight Charr as you proclaim and has been reported in these media reports, you have intentionally, willfully, and maliciously breached your exclusive, world-wide promotional agreement with DKP.”
Lovejoy, 37, lives and trains in Las Vegas. Tous 19 of Lovejoy’s pro fights since February of 2016 have taken place in Tijuana, Mexique.

“Carrefour: doubleheader results from N.H.: Kendrick balle, Jr. hits home run vs. Bryan Vera
“Crossroads” results from New Hampshire
DERRY, N.H. (Avril 18, 2021) -Former New England middleweight championKendrick “Peppa” Ball, Jr. turned in a career-best performance in last night’s main event against dangerousBryan “The Warrior” Vera on the evening portion of the “Crossroads” day-night doubleheader, présenté par Granite Chin Promotions, at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.
The pre-fight plan was followed as Ball (16-1-2, 11 KOs) boxed and moved, while Vera (28-17, 18 KOs) applied pressure, right from the opening bell. Ball took control in the second round, when he stayed in the pocket, snapping off crisp combinations. Ball fired more effective combinations in the third round as Vera started chasing his opponent. Ball started moving around the ring and fighting from the outside in the fourth and stayed on his toes the remainder of the fight.
Ball won an 8-round unanimous decision (79-73, 79-73, 78-74) to become the World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (Etats-Unis) Silver Super Middleweight Champion.
“This was my best fight, because of who I fought, and the magnitude of the fight,” Ball commented. “The plan was to box and move because he was much smaller and slower. At times I banged, when I knew he wasn’t hurting me, but I shouldn’t have taken the risks.”
The 39-year-old Vera isn’t the same fighter he was when he beat three different world champions –Andy Lee, Sergio Mora (deux fois) etSerhiy Dzinziruk. The Texan needs to decide if it’s time to finally hang up his gloves.
“This was awesome, definitely our best show to date,” Granite Chin’sChris Traietti declared after the show. “We feel great about stepping up to give these fighters, especially the locals, a platform to perform on in front of fans. I think a lot of promoters have gotten lazy. They gave us a lane and Granite Chin took advantage. This was our fourth show with fans during the last year. Brian fought hard and he’s a great guy, but he’s not the same guy he was in 2011. He needs to think about what he’s going to do.
“Granite Chin returns here June 26e with another doubleheader. The afternoon show will be the Granite Chin Invitational for open elite boxers. With the New England Golden Gloves canceled again there is a void to fill. If promoters are going to help amateurs, I certainly will, starting June 26e."
ProvocateurMarquis Bates (8-4, 6 KOs) dethroned defending New Hampshire Welterweight ChampionRyan DiBartolomeo (3-2-1, 1 KO) via a sixth-round stoppage in an entertaining co-feature. A devastating overhand right from Bates gave him his new crown as the referee didn’t even count as the ring doctor quickly entered the ring.
Larry « Hitman » Pryor took the contract out onScott Lambert and he wasted little time taking care of business to become the New Hampshire Cruiserweight Champion. Pryor took advantage of his decisive height and reach advantages, closing the show with a perfectly thrown left hook that sent Lambert to the canvas. Lambert managed to beat the count, but the referee stopped the fight midway through the opening round when he saw Lambert wobbling back and forth on rubbery legs.
Lanky lefthandedFrancis “The Tank” Hogan (5-0, 5 KOs) graduated last night with a brilliant performance againstLarry “Slo Mo” Smith, who was in his 60e career fight. Hogan put down Smith early in the third round and caught the Texan late in the same round with a lefty-combination to the temple. Smith beat the count, but he was unable to answer the bell for the fourth round, and 20-year-old Hogan became the new New Hampshire Junior Middleweight Champion.
Former New England heavyweight championJustin “Crazy Train” Rolfe (5-2-1, 4 KOs) positioned himself for another N.E. title shot with a spectacular knockout ofAlfredo “Choncho” Trevino (9-9-1, 1 KO). The 263-pound Rolfe, fighting out of Fairfield, Maine, charged across the ring at the bell and put his Arizona opponent to sleep right in his corner, when he was counted out at the 20-seconds mark.
The newest member of the fightin’ Whitley family from western Massachusetts, poids welter invaincuDenzel Whitley, cruised to his fourth victory with his fourth knockout. He drilledAquilandro Brandao late in round one and the fight was stopped by the referee.
InvaincuJahye Brown (9-0, 7 KOs) captured the vacant ABF Athletic junior middleweight title with a hard fought 8-round unanimous decision over a game Mexican opponent,Dormedes Potes (12-4-1, 9 KOs). The two fought toe-to-toe from the opening bell and Brown landed the more effective punches inside to earn the victory.
Promising middleweight prospectJulien “Black Dragon” Baptiste pour améliorer 2-0 with his second knockout, blasting outBruno Dias in the third round.
Fighting for the first time in more than eight years, Fall River, welters MADustin Reinhold (6-4, 2 KOs) won a 4-round unanimous decision over pro-debutingAnthonyAndreozziin what can best be called a rough and tumble match.
Moyen juniorCarlos Castillo’s professional debut was a gem as the Holyoke, MA fighter droppedTheo Desjardon deux fois, the last closing the show late in the first round.
“Cannon” Berry stops Ibarra in 5
UBO All-America Welterweight ChampionBrandon “The Cannon” Berry (21-5-2, 13 KOs) successfully defended in the afternoon card’s main event, overcoming a slow start in which he was buzzed to stop challengerGael Ibarra (5-3, 4 KOs) in the fifth round.
Berry finished the fight in the fifth, when he unloaded twin barrages of unanswered punches on a trapped Ibarra until the referee waved off the fight.
“I’m glad it wasn’t a 4-round fight,” Berry said after the fight. “He was a strong guy. I was feeling it. He tested me. I want to thank my family and friends here, and Granite Chin and everybody involved in the promotion.”
Dans le cas de co-vedette, New England heavyweight championMike “Fly” Marshall (4-1, 3 KOs), dans un combat sans titre, assomméTracey Johnson (4-10-6) in the third round.
Popular Boston IrishmanJimmy Torney (3-0, 3 KOs) – 6’ 6”, 269 lbs. – needed only 42-seconds and one big right to stop pro-debuting heavyweightMarco Nascimento.
Massachusetts welterweightEric “Gladiator” Goff convincingly won his pro debut againstJader Alves(0-5) as he pitched a 4-round shutout
Three-time New England Golden Gloves championDemek “Hightower” Edmonds had an awesome pro debut, dropping cruiserweightFrancisco Neto twice in round one, the second a vicious body shot ending the fight. Edmonds, a southpaw from Worcester, MA, is a college graduate and bonafide prospect to watch.
Dans un combat sans titre, New England welterweight championMike "Bad Man" Ohan, Jr. (12-1, 6 KOs) schooled his 54-fight Las Vegas opponent, moyen juniorRynell Griffin.
