Michael Carbajal Still Champion
чашмаҳои Колорадо, Муддат. (Май 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, Аммо, 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, албатта, 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 (дар ниҳоии чемпионат дар), 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 (9уми 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 ё 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. Имрӯз, people who knew me back then, гуфтан: ‘You’re still Michael.’ My accomplishments were because I love boxing so much. Дар 1988, Carbajal was the United States amateur junior flyweight champion, ки мағлуб шуд Eric Griffin (co-captain of 1989 & 1991 World Amateur Championships), 5-0, in the final of the U.S. Озмоишҳо олимпӣ, 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, Роберто Гильермо, who upsetЭрон 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) рекорд, 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) дар худ 11уми world title defense, ва дар 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.
Дар 1999, Carbajal announced his second comeback and after three wins, he traveled to Tijuana to challenge 21-year-old WBO junior flyweight World championХорхе Arce (20-2-1), who clearly took nine of the first 10 Даврањои, even though Arce had hit the canvas in round six. In the 11уми гирд, Carbajal rocked Arce with a right that sent the Mexican flying into the ropes. RefereeRaul Caiz, Jr. stopped the fight, 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 (дубора), Mauricio Pastrana ваJacob Matlala. Known for never giving up, along with making a few remarkable comebacks, Carbajal was stopped only once, by Matlala.
Имрӯз, Carbajal still lives in the same house (built in 1906) he grew up on 9уми 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 9уми 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. Ҳей, I trained in a tin shed in my backyard, ки буд, 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!

Team Ortiz moves on from disputed draw Feeling Confident Undefeated Lightweight Jamaine Ortiz Made Loud Statement
Вустер, Омма. (Апрел 29, 2021) – Despite a disputed draw with unbeatenJoseph “Blessed Hands” Adorno (14-0-2, 12 KOs) last Saturday night in Kissimmee, Флорида, lightweight prospectJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (14-0-1, 8 KOs) displayed his vast skills and courage on ESPN+.
Recovering from two knockdowns (the first from an illegal punch behind the head) and still taking the fight to the promoter’s fighter, Ortiz won six of the eight rounds but, бадбахтона, he had to settled for an 8-round majority draw with (76-74, 75-75-75) Adorno.
Ортис, fighting out of Worcester, Массачусетс, is the reigning WBC USNBC (U.S.) Silver lightweight champion, as well as a former WBC World Youth lightweight titlist.
“I didn’t fight my fight,” Ortiz evaluated his performance. “I fought too much instead of being ‘The Technician.’ Before the fight, I thought I was the B-side fighter and wanted to please the crowd. I didn’t realize that I was on the A-side (thanks to his promoter, Jimmy Burchfield) and the betting favorite. I was fighting a Top Rank guy and felt that I had to bring the fight to him. Muscle memory, Гумон мекунам, from back in the amateurs. I was fighting on his stage, so I put pressure on him. If the fight went the distance, I wanted to make sure the scoring was clear and obvious. I knew I’d break him down because I had better stamina and skills.
“I fought him too much, but I still thought I won the fight. The 76-74 score made sense. I won every round but the second and seventh (rounds of knockdowns). I didn’t agree with the one judge who had him (Adorno) winning the sixth. He hit me behind the head in the third round and I was off balance. But the referee does his job and mine is to fight. Nothing I could do about it. The plan was to box him, going to the body, but not switch stances because it would expose me. I had to go to the body, always part of my plan, but I wasn’t ‘The Technician.’ Sometimes I switch stances without realizing it. I got clipped in the seventh round (uppercut that resulted in a standing 8 count) when I was switching for first time. I handled it like a pro. I got up and felt good. I survived the round by holding a few times and then I came back again.”
Burchfield, head of Classic Sports and Entertainment (Мудири Иҷрои), knows Ortiz showed that he’s somebody lightweights will have to reckon with in the immediate future.
“Jamaine’s stock went up for the second fight in a row (last November he registered a sensational stoppage ofSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOs), who had never been previously stopped, in seventh-round on the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-event),” Burchfield added. “Adorno is an animal when he’s in control of a fight. Jamaine had to take control of the fight by being the aggressor but, as ‘The Technician, knowing when to fight and when to box. The punch in the second round was, Бешубҳа,, behind the head, clearly a foul, and it was more of a slip than a knockdown because he was off balance. If that punch was disallowed, Jamaine wins the fight, even if he had lost the round. He (Emil Lombardi) is a quality ref who made a mistake. Maybe he didn’t catch it because of the angle he had, which is why I’m a firm believer in instant replay, and It would have been ruled a non-knockdown.
“Going into the seventh, I thought Jamaine led by 2-3 points having taken five of the previous six rounds. Jamaine showed the world his endurance when he came back so strong in the eighth round. If the fight had been 10-round, or even 30-sconds longer, no disrespect to Adorno, Jamaine would have knocked him out. Jamaine is the real deal. He certainly proved he’s TV friendly after his last two fights and he deserves to be mentioned among the top 135-pounders in the world. Any takers?"
Ortiz’ manager, Dick Shappy, had mixed emotions after the fight, understanding that Ortiz raised the bar, even though he fought to a draw.
“I wish he had won,” Shappy remarked, “but a draw wasn’t too bad under the circumstances. I though Jamaine won the fight outright. If not for that illegal punch in the second, he won the fight on their scorecards. It still shouldn’t have been ruled a knockdown, more of a slip, because he was going forward and lost balance. It never should have been 10-8. Adorno would have lost if they had to go into the championship rounds. Jamaine was more skilled, he did a good job.”
Count no less than former Olympic gold medalist and 2-division World ChampionАндре Ward, who served as color commentator for Ortiz-Adorno, among those impressed by Ortiz.
“Ortiz outworked Adorno, бешубҳа, and he never backed down,” Ward commented on air. “I want to see more of Ortiz!'
As entertaining as Ortiz-Adorno was – it may have stolen the entire show – it’s unlikely that there will be a rematch.
“I don’t think he wants to fight me again,” Ortiz reported. “He said something about maybe when we both have world title belts.”
Ortiz has taken advantage of the tremendous opportunities for worldwide exposure in his last two fights. His reward will certainly come, in time, moving up the ratings as people continue jumping on “The Technician” bandwagon.

“The Technician” vs. “Blessed Hands”
This Saturday in Florida on ESPN+
Вустер, Омма. (Апрел 19, 2021) – Rarely do undefeated prospects with double-digit victories fight each other because of the perceived risk like lightweightsJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (14-0, 8 KOs) ваJoseph “Blessed Hands” Adorno (14-0-1, 12 KOs) will do this Saturday night, Апрел 24уми, at Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Florida.
The 8-roundAdorno vs. Ортис мубориза, streaming live onESPN+, will be on the Top Rank card headlined (оид ба ESPN) by WBO World featherweight championEmanuel Navarette (32-1, 24 KOs) defending his title against challengerChristopher Diaz (26-2, 16 KOs).
Both young lightweights were decorated USA amateur boxers who are rising stars in arguably boxing’s most loaded division.
“I’m counting the days,” Ortiz said about his fight with Adorno. “I’ve trained hard my whole life. When an opportunity like this comes, I’m ready to prove myself. I think I’ll have a spectacular performance and impress the crowd like I usually do. I’m fighting on another big card; I’m going up not down.”
The reigning WBC USNBC (U.S.) Silver lightweight champion, in addition to being a former WBC World Youth lightweight titlist, the 24-year-old Ortiz recently cracked the top 40 in the WBC ratings at 31, and he’s also ranked No. 5 by the NABF.
Ortiz is coming off a sensational, high-profile knockout ofSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOs), who had never been stopped, in the seventh round last November on the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view event.
The lone blemish on the 21-year-old Adorno’s pro record came in his last fight, back on January 11, 2020, when he fought an 8-round split draw withХектор Гарсия (14-7-3). Born in New Jersey and raised in Puerto Rico, Adorno lives and trains in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Ortiz surprisingly may have what amounts to a “hometown” advantage, at least in terms of vocal support, largely because many of his New England friends and family are flying down to Florida to attend the fight, along with his Florida fans.
“My father lived in Florida and I visited him during summers, and I went to second grade there,” Ortiz explained. “I have a big family-base in Orlando. A lot of family and friends from Worcester are going to the fight. I’m surprised by how many people will be there for me.”
Ortiz is promoted byJimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES), which will co-promoteAdorno vs. Ортис with Top Rank, and managed byDick Shappy.
“Both teams need to be complimented for taking a fight like this.” Burchfield commented. “Two undefeated, young boxers like this fighting each other is what real boxing is all about. Боб Арум, Carl Moretti Team Top Rank have been friends of mine for so many years.
“We turned Jamaine pro and through all these years as a promoter (32юми), мумкин ки, every decade or so you have a special one like Jamaine, who can become the future of boxing. When you find a fighter who can box, 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 ofШакар Рэй Леонард ваOscar 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, too.”
“For many years,” Shappy added, “our management team (аз ҷумла:Eddie 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 DEMANDS HEAVYWEIGHT CHRISTOPHER LOVEJOY TO NOT FIGHT MAHMOUD CHARR ON MAY 15 IN GERMANY
Deerfield Beach, ФЛО. (Апрел 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, Олмон.
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. Ҳама 19 of Lovejoy’s pro fights since February of 2016 have taken place in Tijuana, Мексика.

“Crossroads: doubleheader results from N.H.: Kendrick Ball, Jr. hits home run vs. Брайан Вера
“Crossroads” results from New Hampshire
DERRY, N.H. (Апрел 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, presented by 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 (Иёлоти Муттаҳидаи Амрико) 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 –Анди Lee, Серхио Mora (дубора) ваSerhiy 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 26уми 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 26уми."
ChallengerMarquis Bates (8-4, 6 KOs) dethroned defending New Hampshire Welterweight ChampionРайан 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 60уми 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, Садри, 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, welterweight РоккиDenzel 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.
РоккиJahye 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 ба такмил 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, MA welterweightDustin Reinhold (6-4, 2 KOs) won a 4-round unanimous decision over pro-debutingЭнтониAndreozziin what can best be called a rough and tumble match.
Middleweight наврасониCarlos Castillo’s professional debut was a gem as the Holyoke, MA fighter droppedTheo Desjardon дубора, 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.”
Дар сурати-тавсиф ба ҳамкорӣ, New England heavyweight championMike “Fly” Marshall (4-1, 3 KOs), in a non-title fight, кӯфтанд берунTracey Johnson (4-10-6) in the third round.

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.
In a non-title fight, New England welterweight championMike “Bad Man” Ohan, Jr. (12-1, 6 KOs) schooled his 54-fight Las Vegas opponent, middleweight хурдRynell Griffin. Ohan decked Griffin three times in the first round, the third with a left hook to the body from which Griffin was unable to beat the count.
Canadian cruiserweightYan “Wild Thing” Pellerin (11-1, 5 KOs) landed two stinging rights to the body of 63-fight veteranSteve “The Spoiler” Walker, both flooring the Missouri fighter, the second resulting in an opening-round knockout for the vacant ABF Atlantic title.
Connecticut welterweightOmar “The Beast” Borday, Jr. (1101, 3 KOs) dominated 65-fight journeymanDewayne Wisdom en route to a one-sided 8-round unanimous decision.
