PARA PUBLICACION INMEDIATA

WORCESTER, Masa. (Enero 5, 2017) – Castaño (Massachusetts) mediano junior “Irlandés” Chuck Shearns se convertirá en el segundo más antiguo luchador profesional en la historia de Massachusetts del boxeo el jueves noche, Enero 19, en su actuación de despedida en el Palladium de Worcester, marcando el primer evento de boxeo profesional en Worcester, situado en la misa central., en más de cinco años.
La toma de posesión “Futuro de Nueva Inglaterra” prueba de las series está siendo presentado por Rivera Promociones Entretenimiento (RPE), que es propiedad y operado por una de Worcester es de todos los tiempos mejores boxeadores – 3-tiempo, 2-campeón del mundo de la división Jose Antonio “El Gallo” Rivera – y su hijo, Anthonee “AJ” Rivera.
Ascendente prospecto de peso ligero junior, 2015 campeón de los Guantes de Oro de Nueva Inglaterra Irvin González (4-0, 4 KOs), será la lucha en el país en el evento principal 6 asaltos contra el invasor mexicana Oscar Eduardo Quezada (2-1, 1 KO), mientras Springfield (Massachusetts) peso semipesado Reinaldo “Bazuca” Graceski (4-0, 2 KOs) se reúne de Worcester Ralph Johnson (2-9, 1 KO) en el co-característica de seis asaltos.
El 49-años de edad, Shearns (2-1, 1 KO), quien es el director general de Honda Lundgren en Auburn, se enfrentará a Shavonte Dixon (0-1), de Filadelfia, en un combate de cuatro rondas. El registro de estado, establecer en 2011 para entonces 53 años de edad Joe Siciliano, es seguro porque Ene. 19º sin duda será Shearns’ última pelea.
“Tengo un gran respeto por todos los boxeadores en términos de lo que pasan a ser capaces de rendir al máximo en el ring,” promotor Jose Antonio Rivera dijo. “Chuck está haciendo en 49 años! Para eso se necesita mucho sacrificio y coraje para poner su cuerpo a través de que la formación accidentada. Le deseo lo mejor y estoy contento de que puedo ofrecerle la oportunidad de ser capaz de decir adiós al boxeo en sus propios términos.”
Shearns hizo su debut de aficionados a la edad de 29, 10 años despues hizo su debut profesional. “Crecí viendo boxeo con mi padre (Juan), que en caja en la Marina, y mi abuelo (Juan),” Explicación Shearns. “Mi abuelo fue un luchador del club, de forma, el boxeo estaba en mi sangre. Yo sólo tenía cuatro peleas como amateur y un día se reunieron “fitzy,” que ahora es uno de mis amigos más cercanos. (Sean Fitzgerald, una de Worcester es de todos los tiempos mejores boxeadores, que es Shearns’ entrenador principal.) Yo le dije que quería una pelea profesional y le pedí que me enseñara.”
¿Por qué, aunque, a la edad de 49 ¿todavía se puso a través de tal una amplia formación, mientras trabajaba a tiempo completo durante la temporada de vacaciones, para luchar contra un oponente mitad de su edad?
“El boxeo era el hobby definitiva para mí y simplemente se dejó llevar consigo,” Shearns admitidas. “Soy una novedad, no es un verdadero boxeador profesional. Estoy peleando Enero 19º porque se me dio esta oportunidad y decidí aceptarlo, pero, honestamente, Estoy seguro de que este! Tal vez sólo quería una oportunidad para salir con una victoria porque perdí mi último? No lo sé. A veces me despierto preguntándome, 'Qué estoy haciendo?’ Y ‘Fitzy’ Me está trabajando muy duro para esta pelea – No sé si es mi edad o lo – pero yo he odiado cada minuto de ella. Perdí a mi padre en de marzo de. Siempre estaba en mi esquina y esta pelea voy a tener RIP en mis baúles en su honor.”
Últimamente, Shearns’ día típico ha sido, bien, en una palabra, unordinary, por decir lo menos. Se informa al trabajo en 5 a.m., ejercicios y se ejecuta en la cinta de correr durante una hora en un pequeño gimnasio en el trabajo, se pone al día con “fitzy” en Anytime Fitness para golpear las pesadas bolsas y velocidad, y después del trabajo “fitzy” Shearns trenes en Camp Get Right.
Shearns cuenta con el apoyo total de su familia y compañeros de trabajo, que todo estará en el Palladium de Worcester apoyándolo Jan. 19. “Mi mujer (Karen) y dos hijas (Kayla y Olivia) siempre han estado ahí para mí,” Shearns observaron. “Mi esposa me apoya y ha dicho en broma, ‘Estamos divorciando si pierde esta pelea.’ He trabajado en Lundgren Honda por alrededor 20 años y la mayoría de los más de 100 empleados no estarán en mi lucha. Yo no quiero pelear una vez más antes de cumplir 50. Cuando José me pidió que luchar, ¿cómo podría dejar pasar esta oportunidad final?”

Davis, 22, overcame a childhood filled with hardships to become a prolific amateur and has been virtually unstoppable as a professional. Como amateur (entre 2006-2012), he entered nine tournaments and came away with gold medals in all but one. He won gold in his last four tourneys, incluyendo el 2012 National Golden Gloves Championship at 123 libra.

Since going pro in February 2013, the strong, aggressive-minded southpaw has played smash-mouth against mostly outclassed opponents, ganadora 13 de su 15 knockouts inside four rounds. To many, Davis resembles a young, smaller version of Mike Tyson in the way he walks down foes, gets on the inside and unloads lethal hooks and uppercuts. He’s gone into the ninth round once and into the sixth round twice. A winner of six straight by knockout, Davis’ lone fight to go the distance came in his ninth outing, a six-round nod over German Meraz, who went down twice, en octubre 2014. Davis viene de un 0:41, first-round KO over Mario Macias last Junio 3.

Although powerful, very fast and determined, the talented Davis is taking a significant leap in class and he may enter the ring as a slight underdog to Puerto Rico’s Pedraza, 27, a solid switch-hitter with first-rate skills, el movimiento y la perforación de energía. This will be Pedraza’s third defense of the IBF 130-pound title. He’s gone the 12-round distance four times in a row and five times since his pro debut in February 2011. At 5-feet-8½, he is two-and-a-half inches taller than Davis.
Davis, the IBF’s No. 8-ranked super featherweight, who was born and resides in Baltimore, shared thoughts on his upcoming fight from the Uptown Boxing Center in Baltimore:

You’ve been a professional for less than three years, yet you’re less than two weeks away from getting a crack at a world title. What are your thoughts about that?

It’s been my goal to fight for a world title. Tengo mucha confianza. I’ve worked hard in the gym for over two months for this fight. I’ve put in the hours. I’ve had a great camp with great sparring. I’m not surprised the fight is almost here. This is perfect timing for me.

Have you done anything differently in this camp?

Maybe some little things, but not really. We take training seriously. We take all our opponents very seriously. But I have to treat it as just another fight, against another opponent. We know Pedraza is a world champion, a great fighter that comes to fight and we give him his respect as a world-class fighter. I know he’s going to be ready. He’s always ready when it’s time to get in there and do his job. But I’m prepared for him. He doesn’t know what we bring to the table.

Are you surprised you’re not favored? When was the last time you were an underdog?

I’m the underdog because he’s the world champion, that’s the reason. Aparte de eso, I feel deep inside that he’s the underdog, but that’s just my assessment. He won’t be showing me anything I haven’t already seen before.

I’ve never been the underdog in a fight, so this is a first for me.

When’s the last time you lost a fight?

I’m competitive all around and don’t like losing. I can’t remember exactly the last time I lost a fight, maybe it was three years ago. All I know for sure is that my mind entering this fight is all about winning.

Critics talk of your level of competition, or lack of. What’s your opinion of the fighters Pedraza’s successfully defended against lately?

I’m not taking anything away from Pedraza; he’s beat Stephen Smith and Edner Cherry but those guys don’t bring the power, velocidad, elusiveness and angles that I do. I’m not downgrading anybody, but they’re mostly average.

Are you looking at this as an opportunity to showcase your overall skills, durability, etcétera?

A lot of people don’t realize the skills and talent that I have. They see me just going in there like a little Tyson or someone like that. But I have all the tools. I know how to box, how to move my feet. I have good hand speed. I work my angles and things like that. I’m an overall sound fighter, un boxeador-golpeador.

I think this will be a wakeup call for boxing, a chance to show that I’m the one. But I’m not coming to be just the top guy. I want to be a superstar and bring joy and entertainment to the sport. Pedraza will bring out the best in me and I will steal the show.

How do you manage to stay in the moment, and not look back, or can you?

I’m so thankful that I am part of a strong team, and that I have such a great team. I believe we have the greatest team in boxing. They keep me grounded, enfocado. They keep me from getting distracted. We all know what the main goal is. I can’t do it all myself, my coach can’t do it all himself, my manager can’t do it all himself. We believe totally in each other as a team. I listen to everything they say.

How much is your past a motivation, or is it? When you look back at your life do you have memories or nightmares?

I believe I’ve accomplished a lot. Me just being alive today, me not being in jail or in trouble outside the ring, it’s hard from where I come from. But it’s all helped me handle situations well. I’m so used to dealing with situations. I’m older and know what’s right from wrong. There’s never any pressure when I fight. I’ve won so many fights already I know what to do when I get in the ring.

How long have you known Floyd? When did you meet him and how would you describe your relationship? What does it mean for Floyd to be your promoter?

The first time I talked to Floyd (at length) was at the Adrien Broner-Shawn Porterfight (Junio 20, 2015). Me and Adrien, we’re friends and he flew me out to Las Vegas for the fight. I worked out at the Mayweather gym and Floyd liked the way I fought, my heart. But the first time I actually met and talked to him came when one of Floyd’s press tours came to Washington, D.C.

Floyd has always had a major impact on me and my career. I grew up around him. All of us wanted to be like him. Like Tyson and Ali were to the generations of boxers before me, Floyd was our superstar. For him to bring me under his wing, to fight for him, is unbelievably great.

Jerry began his professional career under the Top Rank promotional arm. After a split with the company in 2010, Jerry later inked a deal with Main Events which was also short lived.

Frampton conquers the world as PBC’s Fighter of the Year

via PremierBoxingChampions.com
Carl Frampton already was a world champion at the start of this year, but his accomplishments in 2016 placed him at the top of the entire boxing universe.
The 29-year-old native of Belfast, Irlanda del Norte, reached a level of success this year that most boxers could only dream about, traveling to two countries to win world titles in two weight divisions against a pair of undefeated champions-with the second victory coming in a Fight of the Year contender.
Reaching such heights made Carl Frampton (23-0, 14 KOs) an overwhelming unanimous decision by the staff of Premier Boxing Champions as PBC’s Fighter of the Year.
I’m in this game to win fights and to win titles,” Frampton said, “but when you’re picking up awards like Fighter of the Year when there are so many good fighters around, obviously it’s a huge achievement, and I’m very, very grateful.
Other fighters considered for the award were Jermall Charlo, Robert Pascua Jr. y Keith Thurman. All three world champions had tremendous years of their own, but none achieved more in the squared circle in 2016 than Frampton.
“El Chacal” opened the year on Febrero 27 por taking on fellow 122-pound world champion Scott Quigg in a title unification bout on the Englishman’s home turf at Manchester Arena.
Although the bout took several rounds to heat up, the 5-foot-5 Frampton initiated most of the action as he worked effectively behind his jab and landed the cleaner punches throughout the fight.
Even though the highly anticipated contest took place just 15 miles from Quigg’s hometown of Bury, Lancashire, much of the sellout crowd of 21,000 voiced their support for Frampton, who broke Quigg’s jaw on his way to gaining a split decision just six days after his 29th birthday.
I’m absolutely delighted to have won. Over the moon,” Frampton said after two of the judges gave him a 116-112 edge and the third scored it 115-113 for Quigg. “The fight went very much to plan, and I thought I had won it by quite a distance. I’m really surprised one judge gave it to him.
Rather than defend his 122-pound titles, Frampton elected to relinquish them and move up in weight. Not only that, he immediately went after one of the best 126-pound fighters in the world, traveling to Brooklyn, Nueva York, en Julio 30, when he challenged unbeaten 126-pound world champion Leo Santa Cruz for his title at Barclays Center.
The bout was electrifying almost from the opening bell as both fighters attempted to press the action. En la segunda ronda, Frampton sent Santa Cruz staggering backward into the ropes with a short left hook to the temple to gain the early edge.
Although he never did knock down the champion, Frampton continually beat Santa Cruz to the punch, landing perfectly placed counter shots as he fired from all angles to thwart the Mexican-American’s high-volume attack.
Frampton, who was competing for just the second time in the United States, won the Fight of the Year candidate by majority decision, earning winning scores of 117-111 y 116-112, while the third judge surprisingly had it even at 114-114.
The victory made Frampton just the second Irishman after Steve Collins to win world titles in two weight divisions, and the first from Northern Ireland.
Frampton now has a chance to get an early jump on 2017 Fighter of the Year honors with a rematch against Santa Cruz set for Enero 28 en el MGM Grand Garden Arena en Las Vegas.
I never ever thought I would win a world title in two different weight divisions when I turned professional,” Frampton said.
The goal was to become world champion-and to win a second world title, it’s a bonus really. … 2016 couldn’t have went any better if I’m being honest.
