MIAMI(Junio 7, 2021) – All-time boxing greatFloyd "Money" Mayweatherand social media sensationLogan "The Maverick" Paulfought to the distance in their eight-round special exhibition bout Sunday night that headlined a SHOWTIME PPV from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.

“Era fuerte, tough and better than I thought he was,"Dijo Mayweather. “I was surprised by him tonight. That was some good little work.”

“It’s an honor to share the ring with Floyd,"Dijo Paul. “He’s one of the GOATs. This is one of the coolest things ever.”

After weeks of buildup, the star-studded event pitted superstars from two different worlds in a highly anticipated showdown for sports and entertainment fans around the globe.

Mayweather displayed his typical patient and clinical boxing style, feeling out Paul in the opening round, before allowing Paul to come forward with a flurry of power shots at the end of the round that were mostly blocked, but excited the crowd nonetheless. As the fight wore on, Mayweather began to find a spot to land numerous power shots on Paul’s head and body.

Despite sustaining punishment in the middle rounds, Paul was able to use his over 30-pound weight advantage to frequently tie Mayweather up and avoid being stopped or sent to the canvas.

“Even without much experience, he knew to use his weight to tie me up tonight,"Dijo Mayweather.

Después de la pelea, the fighters expressed gratitude and inspiration to the fans who have helped them reach the tremendous heights that allowed this match to become reality.

“I had fun tonight,"Dijo Mayweather. “I thank all the fans who came out, you’re all unbelievable.”

“I don’t want anyone to tell me anything is impossible ever again,"Dijo Paul. “The fact that I got in here with one of the greatest boxers of all time, it proves the odds can be beat. Anyone can beat the odds and do great things in life. This is one of the greatest nights of my life, Estoy feliz. "

In the co-main event former two-division world championBadou Jack(24-3-3, 14 KOs) delivered a dominating fourth-round stoppage of previously unbeatenDervin Colina(15-1, 13 KOs) in their light heavyweight duel.

“The game plan was just to outbox him,” said Jack. “Everything else will come. Sin Duda, hit the body. He was a little soft in the body but I give him respect. He came out on short notice. He was supposed to fight next week but this is a different level.”

Known as a slow starter throughout his accomplished career, Jack came out faster in this fight and was sharp from the outset against the replacement opponent Colina, who stepped in for Jean Pascal after Pascal failed a pre-fight drug test.

“He was trying to hold a lot and survive,” said Jack. “I fight better when I fight better opponents. I was a little sloppy. The world class fights are when I perform the best.”

Jack’s effectiveness forced Colina to try to hold to stop the incoming attack, but he was only able to use that strategy briefly, as referee Frank Santore Jr. took away points for holding in rounds two and three, warning Colina that one more infraction would end the fight in disqualification.

En la cuarta ronda, Jack landed a straight right hand that put Colina on the mat in the opening minute of the frame. Colina fought valiantly to stay in the fight, but the body attack from Jack helped him finally earn the stoppage. A combination to the body put Colina down for the second time and a counter right hand dropped Colina for a third and final time as the referee halted the fight at 2:57 en la ronda.

“I’m a big guy and I walk around heavy, so I might move up to cruiserweight,” said Jack post fight about his future plans. “My goal is to become a three-division champion and I fight better when I don’t have to cut a lot of weight.”

The pay-per-view telecast also saw veteran contenderLuis Arias(19-2-1, 9 KOs) score a split-decision victory over former unified 154-pound champion“Swift” Jarrett Hurd(24-2, 16 KOs) in an action-packed 10-round affair.

“I’m not sure what went wrong tonight,”Dijo Hurd. “I believe I won the fight. I had a knockdown. I could make a hundred excuses but it wasn’t a great performance.”

Arias controlled the early rounds of the duel, attacking Hurd with numerous combinations that landed flush. His clean power punching was an advantage throughout, as he out landed Hurd in power punches by a total of 153 a 120 while landing over 40% of those shots.

“The game plan was to jump on him, get the early lead and keep it,- dijo arias. “I felt like in the middle rounds I was winning the fight but you never know because I wasn’t the A-side in this fight. I buzzed him a lot, especially on the inside.”

Hurd began to attempt to mount a comeback in rounds five and six, closing the distance effectively and finding a home for short right hooks and right uppercuts, with Arias even acknowledging that he was made unsteady after the action.

“I came in here and challenged the number one guy at 154 pounds and we fought somewhere halfway and I was able to edge a decision,- dijo arias. “Props to Jarrett Hurd. You fought a great fight. Honestamente, you could have had me out of there. I was definitely buzzed. If you would have found a way, I definitely would have gone down.”

In a fight that had two brief delays to weather affecting the ring surface, Hurd scored a knockdown in round nine with a glancing right hand after Arias appeared to slip on the ring. Despite the advantage on the scorecard, the uneasy footing affected Hurd’s plan to box Arias from the outside.

“The plan coming out in the first round was to box,”Dijo Hurd. “I wasn’t as confident in my feet as the rain came down, so I had to go toe-to-toe more. That wasn’t really what we trained for, so I was a bit sloppy.”

Arias bounced back effectively from the knockdown in the final round, with his onslaught eventually forcing Hurd to look to hold on in the final minutes to reach the final bell. In his first outing with new trainer Ismael Salas, Arias ended the night victorious, con un juez anotando la lucha 95-94 for Hurd, overruled by scores of 97-93 y 96-93 for Arias.

“I would like to thank Ismael Salas,- dijo arias. “I came to him semi-late. About six or seven weeks and I needed to change something in my game plan to beat Jarrett. The things I was doing before would have gotten me a loss tonight. I needed somebody to just tweak a little bit and put my game up a little bit so I could beat this champion.”

“I’ll take the rematch at whatever weight,”Dijo Hurd. “I know I’m the better man.”

In the opening bout of the pay-per-view, former NFL starChad Johnsonmade his boxing debut in an exhibition that went the four-round distance against versatile pro fighterBrian Maxwell.

“I had fun,”Dijo Johnson. “I had two months to get ready for this and I want to thank God for keeping us safe out there. I want to thank Floyd, Leonard Ellerbe and my whole team for allowing me to check this off my bucket list.”

“Ask the world who Brian Maxwell is now,” said Maxwell. “Brian Maxwell is here. Gracias, Chad. It was an honor fighting my idol and I appreciate it.”

Johnson showed off the “sweet feet” that made him a six-time Pro Bowler, landing some strong jabs and check hooks from distance, while avoiding serious damage from Maxwell over the first three rounds.

En la cuarta ronda, Maxwell provided an exclamation to the bout, landing a counter overhand right that connected and put Johnson onto the canvas with 40 segundos por jugarse en la ronda. In his first foray into the sweet science, Johnson was able to recover from the shot, get to his feet and make it to the final bell.

Always willing to step into uncomfortable waters throughout his career, Johnson post-fight expressed hope that his venture into the ring will serve as a positive example for those watching.

“My life has always been about taking chances and doing crazy stuff and this is just another one off my bucket list,”Dijo Johnson. “It’s a message for a lot of people who are scared to fail, scared to lose, scared to take chances to go out there and live. Don’t be scared to fail, it’s okay. I don’t box. I fight but it ain’t in the ring, so of course I was a little sloppy.”

NEF TO DEBUT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE; WELTERWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT ANNOUNCED

Deja un comentario

PARA PUBLICACION INMEDIATA: Milford, New Hampshire (Junio 7, 2021) - Luchas de Nueva Inglaterra (NEF) announced today that the fight promotion will return with its next event, "NEF 44: De nuevo en la oscuridad," en Agosto 21, 2021.  The show will originate from the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire and will feature a mix of both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and kickboxing fights. It will be NEF’s long-awaited debut in the Granite State, and it will also be the promotion’s first event since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in the spring of 2020.

NEF’s previously-scheduled event, “NEF 43: Alboroto,” which was postponed indefinitely due to the pandemic, is still awaiting a rescheduled date at the Collins Center for the Arts at UMaine Orono. NEF executives hope that date will be sometime later in the fall, but at press time they were still waiting on a decision from the Combat Sports Authority of Maine on re-opening the regulation of MMA and boxing events in the state without restrictions.

“Fighters and fans have waited long enough,” declared NEF promoter and co-owner Nick DiSalvo. “With Maine not fully open for combat sports events yet, the Hampshire Dome and the New Hampshire Boxing Commission presented the perfect opportunity to get fighters back in the cage and active again before summer was over.”

NEF further announced today the first fight confirmed for the “NEF 44” card in Milford would be an amateur welterweight title contest. Duncan “The Highlander” Smith (5-3), who has held the promotion’s 170-pound championship since June 2018, is scheduled to defend against number-one-contender Mike “All Class” Bezanson (5-0).

“Coming out of COVID we’re going to find out who really wants it and is serious about accelerating in the sport,"Dijo NEF copropietario y casamentero Matt Peterson. “Who was working during quarantine, grinding away in their basements and garages and backyards and getting better while the world was shut down? Duncan and Bezanson both believe they are those guys and we’re going to find out on August 21st. These are two of the best in the Northeast welterweight division and I can’t wait to see which one proves that they are ready to punch through into the professional division before the end of 2021.”

Reigning champion Duncan Smith is a perfect 3-0 in the NEF cage. His last defense of the title was at “NEF 38” in April 2019 when he defeated John Tefft (2-1) via unanimous decision. Smith represents Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Maine.

“I’ve never felt more complete and confident in all aspects of living,"Dijo Smith. “I am extremely excited to showcase my skills against a game opponent before I enter the pro ranks. A lot can change in two years.”

Undefeated Mike Bezanson is regarded by many as one of the most exciting competitors on the entire New England scene. He is known for his flashy striking style and explosive finishes. Bezanson represents Team Kaze of Lancaster, New Hampshire.

“I’ve been sitting like a caged lion this last year because of COVID,” stated Bezanson when reached for comment. “Waiting eagerly for everything to open up just like everyone else. I’m very excited to be able to get back in there to perform for everyone!  I can assure you this will be the same game plan as all my previous fights. I’m going in there for two reasons, to knock out whoever is in front of me and walk out with a belt over my shoulder.”

“With everything opening up and restrictions being lifted, there is a lot to get excited about,” said Bezanson’s coach and Kaze Dojo owner Greg Williams. “That being said, nothing excites me more than seeing Mike Bezanson bringing his unique brand of violence back to the NEF cage! He is a rare talent and I believe he will eventually realize himself on the highest level. Another amateur belt is just icing on the cake. We all look forward to seeing New England’s best amateur 170 prospect and how he has evolved in the past year!"

Las entradas para “NEF 44: Back in Black ”ya están a la venta enwww.NewEnglandFights.com/Tickets/.  The hybrid MMA and kickboxing event will take place at the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire el sábado, Agosto 21, 2021, con un tiempo de campana 7 pm.

The Unnatural Return of JD “The Natural” Chapman

Deja un comentario

Junio 4, 2021, Fort Smith, Arkansas—In a year of surprising boxing returns, nothing is more surprising than the return of retired heavyweight contender JD “The Natural” Chapman (29-0).


Born John David Chapman in March of 1983, Chapman did not fight as an amateur. En lugar, he started fighting in Toughman Contest competitions before he turned pro in 2002. He chose the name “El Natural” as Chapman hails from Arkansas, “El Estado Natural”.


JD did many of his early professional fights close to home, namely as part of the Slugout Series promoted by Stacy “Goodnight” Goodson. Goodson and Scott Hirsch, who were managing Chapman, built Chapman into a heavyweight contender.


In the process, Chapaman accumulated 29 victorias y 26 nocauts. He beat several notable contenders and gatekeepers. His most notable opponents were Chicago-based Edward Gutierrez who was 15-0-1 coming into the bout, New York veteran John Carlo who possessed a 14-1 registro, and fellow undefeated Mid-West prospect Matt Hicks 7-0.

Chapman also captured several regional heavyweight titles including the IBF Southern Regional title, the North American Boxing Council title, the WBC Latino title and the Arkansas State title. Just when it seemed that Chapman was at the cusp of stardom, he hung it all up and rode into the sunset.

At the time of his retirement Chapman was an up and coming contender, and a darling of the boxing press. He received tremendous coverage and exposure in the boxing press as a heavyweight prospect, and was featured on national television. Adicional, Chapman was rated by just about every major sanctioning body including the lineal sanction body, el WBC, which gave him a World Rating of 14.

Chapman will return on an untelevised club show this Saturday, Junio 5, 2021, and in a fight close to where it all begun in his home state of Arkansas. Chapman was called in as a last minute replacement opponent to fight Tony “Kryptonite” Lopez at the Springdale Convention Center.
It will be a clash of big men. Chapman weighed in at 294 libra, while his opponent Lopez weighed in at 259. It will be a battle of big men as Chapman is 6’5” while Lopez is 6’6”.

Although he has had only two professional boxing fights, Lopez is a veteran pugilist with nearly a 100 peleas en su haber, spanning multiple combat sports disciplines, Artes Marciales Mixtas, kickboxing and bare knuckle fighting.

Said JD, “I was only offered the fight on Thursday but decided to take it anyway. Even though I’ve been off for so long, I was already training for a July event, and I think I’m ready enough. I accepted the fight with such short notice because I just could not pass on the opportunity to get back in the ring. I did not realize how much I missed fighting.”

In his prime, Chapman had some high profile trainers, Incluyendo Michael Moorer, Jeff Mayweather and Norman Wilson. Actualmente, he is trained by former MMA fighter Brian Foster and Chapman’s return is being guided by Edward Mendy of Lion Heart Boxing Productions.

Esto es lo que los luchadores dijeron el viernes desde el JW Marriott Miami Turnberry:

JACK BADOU

"Estoy agradecido de seguir peleando el domingo por la noche. Ahora tenemos un nuevo oponente y será el mismo resultado.. Estoy en muy buena forma y no puedo esperar.

“Colina es solo otro chico. Lo respeto por venir y presentarse como un reemplazo tardío.. Pero iba a ganar esta pelea el domingo, ya fuera Pascal o cualquiera..

"Estoy muy frustrado por Jean Pascal. Pero soy un profesional y puedo adaptarme sin importar quién esté frente a mí. Estoy decepcionado porque gané la primera pelea contra Pascal y esperé 18 meses para vengarme.

“Tengo un poco de ira que podría desquitarse con Colina, pero no es nada personal, solo negocios de los que estoy aquí para ocuparme el domingo por la noche.

"Realmente no me importa demasiado el título, Realmente solo me importaba conseguir esa venganza contra Pascal. Esperé tanto tiempo por esto y podría haber tenido diferentes peleas mientras esperaba.

"Es un tipo invicto, así que vendrá aquí con mucha confianza buscando mostrar su poder".. Sin embargo, estaremos listos independientemente de cómo entre en la pelea.. Tuve un gran combate como siempre, así que estoy preparado para lo que traerá ".

DERVIN COLINA

"Me gustaría agradecer al equipo Badou Jack por la oportunidad. Esto es lo que yo hago. Yo nací para esto. Ven el domingo, veréis lo que hago..

"Estaba programado para pelear en junio 11 en una tarjeta diferente. La pelea llegó un poco antes en junio. 6. Pero estoy listo para pelear y no hay excusas para esta pelea. Vengo a ganar a toda costa. Y verás lo que hago el domingo.

"Respeto a Badou y lo que ha hecho en este deporte, pero sé que tengo todo lo que necesito para sorprender al mundo el domingo por la noche.

“No tengo nada que perder y eso me hace peligroso. Voy a dejar todo en el ring y anunciarle al mundo entero que soy un luchador del que vas a tener noticias ".

JARRETT HURD

“Todo el mundo sabe que tengo asuntos pendientes en 154 libras. Aunque no estoy mirando más allá de Arias. Esta pelea es solo una parada en el peso mediano porque voy a volver a ocuparme de ese negocio..

“Tuvimos un campo de entrenamiento increíble con mi nuevo entrenador Kay Koroma en Colorado Springs. Tengo un chip en mi hombro. Creo que mucha gente olvidó quién era yo.. Tenía el mejor currículum en la categoría de peso.. Ven el domingo, Voy a recordarles a todos quién soy.

"Siempre es estrictamente comercial y será lo mismo el domingo. Arias está obsesionado con mi peso y cree que estoy luchando. Pero necesita concentrarse en lo que tiene que hacer el domingo por la noche..

"No sé cuál es mi calificación en este momento, pero soy el mejor luchador en 154 libra. Mostrar eso al mundo es el objetivo el domingo.

“Simplemente volvimos a lo básico en el campo de entrenamiento con mi entrenador Kay Koroma. Siempre puedes aprender más en el deporte..

"He estado boxeando por 15 años ahora y el entrenador Koroma simplemente me ayudó a evolucionar las cosas que ya sabía. Él me tiene no solo avanzando y usando mi fuerza, pero moviéndote y boxeando un poco ".

LUIS ARIAS

"Creo que la narrativa es que necesitaban un oponente para Jarrett Hurd, y no me veía tan bien últimamente. Pero la gente tiende a olvidar que estaba 18-0 antes de que tuviera mi primera mancha. Cuando estaba con Floyd Mayweather, Yo era 9-0 y ahí es cuando me sentí más cómodo. Esa es la mentalidad que estoy tomando en esta pelea.

"He estado cerca de Floyd desde diciembre. Estuve en Las Vegas entrenando en altura, como Hurd. Estoy en plena forma para esta pelea y todavía tiene que averiguar cómo va a pelear..

"Ahora el mundo del box estará viendo esta pelea. Voy a estar en mis P y Q y no tendrá que buscarme. Tendrá que elegir una vez que lo golpeen el domingo qué estilo quiere pelear..

"Esto es algo que debe ganar para mí. Este es un gran nombre para mi currículum. No he esquivado a nadie. He tomado todos los nombres que me han traído. Cuando surgió su nombre, dije absolutamente. Estoy listo y soy un luchador de la vieja escuela. Pelearía contigo en este patio trasero, ese patio trasero, cualquier patio trasero. El domingo se mostrará.

"Él es el que tiene el problema con el peso. La pelea no tiene mucho sentido en 160 porque no está clasificado y quiere volver a 154. Pero es una oportunidad demasiado grande y una tarjeta demasiado grande para quejarse del peso. Nos vamos a poner los guantes y lo que pese, el pesa. Esta será la mejor pelea de la cartelera ".

CHAD JOHNSON

"Me siento muy bien. He estado usando el boxeo para prepararme para el fútbol a lo largo de los años., pero nunca lo había hecho a esta magnitud. Para prepararse para una pelea real, es algo nuevo. Me enfrento a un tipo que se gana la vida haciendo esto, así que no me lo estoy tomando a la ligera.

“Siempre estaba nervioso antes de cada saque inicial. Así que sería un tonto si dijera que no estoy nervioso al entrar en algo en lo que estoy fuera de mi elemento..


"Una cosa en la que soy extremadamente bueno, es cuando hay luces, cámaras y una multitud, está entrando y entretenido.

“He estado trabajando un poco con Jorge Masvidal, pero las últimas semanas han sido en Houston con Jermall y Jermell Charlo. Ahí es donde ha estado la mayor parte de mi trabajo. He estado haciendo todo lo posible para asegurarme de lucir bien el domingo por la noche.

"Estoy fuera de mi elemento, así que, por supuesto, me acerco a esta pelea con humildad. Viene a golpearme la cabeza. El fútbol es algo que hice toda mi vida., es por eso que caminé como lo hice. No puedo ser arrogante y tomar esta pelea a la ligera ".

BRIAN MAXWELL

"No sé cómo surgió mi nombre para esta pelea. Pero como todo el mundo ha dicho, "¿Quién es Brian Maxwell??'Ese ha sido un tema de tendencia en todas las redes sociales. Pero adivina que? Hoy, todos saben quién es Brian Maxwell. Y estoy emocionado por esto. Es una combinación perfecta para mí. Es un emparejamiento perfecto para Chad. Lo mejor de ambos mundos. Viniendo de un fan. Mi hashtag en las redes sociales se ha convertido en "Los ídolos se convierten en rivales". Y este es el momento perfecto y el momento perfecto para él y para mí.. Como le dije por teléfono, Soy un gran fan. Pero el fan se ha ido por la ventana. Ahora tenemos que entretener y eso es lo que vamos a hacer.

“Esta es una exposición, así que venimos a entretener a los fans y montar un espectáculo. Pero al mismo tiempo, somos dos hombres que vienen uno frente al otro y tenemos que pelear. No importa el resultado, vamos a dar una gran pelea.

"He seguido a este hombre desde el día 1. Conozco cada uno de sus movimientos. Me he inspirado en él y es como pelear conmigo mismo.. Voy a ser humilde sobre esto y vamos a montar un espectáculo para todos..

“Esa ha sido la pregunta, que ronda voy a noquearlo. Estoy aquí para entretener y divertirme. Esta es una gran oportunidad."

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

"Tenemos una cartelera apilada el domingo por la noche. Promocioné toneladas de eventos y este es uno que realmente espero con ansias., porque nos da una variedad de grandes peleas además de algo diferente.

"Tengo muchas ganas de recibir esta tarjeta. El sur de Florida ha estado a tope desde que anunciamos este evento. No podemos esperar a que la gran multitud y las toneladas de fans de todo el mundo nos sintonicen.

"Cuando pienso en Chad Johnson, el es un showman. Él hace tantas cosas diferentes realmente bien.. Hará su incursión en la industria del boxeo en lo que debería ser una pelea excelente contra Brian Maxwell.. Chad está buscando posiblemente robar el show, que es por lo que es conocido.

"El ex campeón unificado Jarrett Hurd es un gran campeón y lo conozco desde hace muchos años.. Está buscando volver y dejar su huella donde la dejó. Se ha hecho saber que después de esta pelea, volverá a tomar el control de la división de las 154 libras. Se enfrentará al propio Luis Arias de Mayweather Promotions y he tenido la oportunidad de presenciar la preparación de Arias de primera mano.. Puedo decirte ahora mismo que está más que preparado para molestar a Jarrett..

"En la co-principal, No puedo decir lo suficiente sobre Badou Jack. Es un gran campeón en el ring y un excelente ejemplo fuera del ring.. Hace mucho para ayudar a la gente de todo el mundo y Floyd y yo estamos muy orgullosos de él.. Sabemos que va a dar un gran espectáculo el domingo..

"Cuando se trata de esta cartelera, los fanáticos están de enhorabuena. No será más que acción de arriba a abajo ".

DJ Zamora III Scores TKO in USA Debut

Deja un comentario
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (Junio 1, 2021) – 18-year-old featherweight sensation, “The War Machine” DJ Zamora III (4-0, 3 KOs), was impressive in his USA debut, scoring a third round TKO against Brandon Trout, an MMA fighter, who was making his pro debut in boxing. The event took place at the Outlaw Saloon in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and was promoted by Libra 4 Pound Promotions.

Zamora, who is managed by Bob Santos, showed great ring generalship as he dictated the pace of the fight from the opening round. Trucha, un zurdo, did his best to apply pressure but was denied as Zamora kept his distance with an educated jab. En la tercera ronda, Zamora, who is also a southpaw, caught Trout with a damaging right hook that stunned him. Zamora saw that Trout was hurt and unloaded a flurry of punches, forcing the referee to stop the bout in the third round.

“It felt great to make my USA debut against a tough opponent like Trout,” said Zamora III, who is trained by his dad, Demler Zamora II. “I’m happy that I was able to get some good rounds in. My first three fights have been in Mexico, so it was nice to fight in my home country. I’m ready to take my career to the next level.”

“My son showed a lot of maturity in this fight,"Declaró Demler Zamora II, father and trainer of DJ III. “Trout was not an easy fight. This kid was in great shape and he was coming. I was pleased that DJ kept his composure when Trout was coming in aggressive. My son stuck to the game plan and caught him with a nice check hook, and finished him off like a true pro.”

“DJ is a very skilled fighter with a tremendous amount of talent.” Bob Santos dicho. “You never know what you got in a fighter until he steps up against tough opposition. This was a good test to see where he’s at and he passed with flying colors. My next move for him is to get him an opportunity on a PBC card. I’m hoping he can fight four more times by the end of the year.”

La Barrientes Twins, Chávez y Ángel, as well as super middleweight Angel Chavez, who were scheduled to fight on this card, had their fights cancelled due to their opponents coming in ten pounds overweight. Angel Chavez’ opponent never showed up.

“Breakout” Possible swan song for Steve Vukosa, Statement time for Mike Marshall

Deja un comentario
QUINCY, Masa. (Junio 1, 2021) – The main event on the June 26º “Breakout” card, presentado por Promociones granito Chin, matches two New England heavyweights heading in opposite directions, Steve "The Gentle Giant” Vukosa (13-1, 5 KOs) y “Fly” Mike Marshall (5-1, 4 KOs).

The evening card of another Granite Chin day-night doubleheader (separate admissions) is headlined by the 10-round main event for the vacant NABA United States Heavyweight Championship between Vukosa (13-1, 5 KOs) who will possibly be fighting for the final time – win, pierda o empate — and reigning New England heavyweight champion Marshall.

Vukosa, fighting of out Quincy, Massachusetts, is a former WBC U.S. Heavyweight Champion, which he captured in 2019 when he won an 8-round unanimous decision against Joe Cusumano (18-2, 16 KOs). During his 20-year pro boxing career, Vukosa’s gained invaluable experience sparring at the famed Wild Card Boxing gym in Los Angeles as a sparring partner for world champions James Toney, Evander Holyfield y Wladimir Klitschko. He’s also driven a bus for the past 15 years for the Mass Bay Transportation Authority, a partir de 4 p.m. and finishing around 2 de la mañana, after which he does his run in. But he’s now 44 with a wife and three children and his boxing clock is ticking.

“I’m still fighting because I love it,” Vukosa explained. “It’s hard to walk away from something you’re good at. This one fight and it could be the end. My wife will be happy. My body is starting to fall apart: manos, back and knees. They’ve been killing me. I used to be quick and fast, now I’m slow. I just want to have a good fight, victoria, or lose, but I want to win. I really enjoyed by days at Wild Card, those sparring sessions were like real fights, and my amateur days with trainer Jimmy Farrell.

“I saw my opponent when he won the New England title, Estaba impresionado. (promotor)Chris (Traietti) called asking if I’d fight him, I accepted because I like to fight and a good challenge. I’m looking forward to the fight.”

The 36-year-old Marshall, peleando fuera de danbury, Connecticut, has won his last two fights, both on Granite Chin shows at the same venue as his upcoming match with Vukosa, including his N.E. title-winning performance last November against Justin “Crazy Train” Rolfe. Marshall isn’t looking at his opponent as over the hill because of Vukosa’s advance age, but he does plan to make a statement that, Ojalá, will get him positive exposure outside of New England.

“I know he’s a veteran pugilist, a pupil of Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, who was an awesome fighter in his own right,” Marshall remarked. “This is boxing, cualquier cosa puede pasar. My job is to prepare for anything. I’ve had the best quality sparring in house with the No. 1 amateur heavyweight, Fernly Félix, Jr. My team works very hard, My manger, A. J. Galante, asked me to be sharper in my last fight (3-round KO of Tracey Johnson este pasado abril), so I did what he asked me to do. My cornerman Austin Ampeoquio keeps me sharp with the mitts, and my head coaches David McDonough y Bennie ‘The Jet’ Little do a good job pushing me as well.

“I know Steve comes to fight and I’m looking forward to an exciting night of boxing. We are two warriors going toe-to-toe in the ring, putting on a show for boxing fans who really enjoy the sport of boxing, not this YouTube celebrity garbage that’s going on right now.”

“Steve ran into some bad luck after the Cusumano win,” Granite Chin president Chris Traietti commented. “A few fights fell through, then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. We literally had a fight in Germany fall out the day we were set to leave for the airport. After that we lost a lot of the steam from the Cusamano fight and kind of had to reassess. He picked up a tune-up fight a few months ago, but we now have to either regain some momentum by winning a fight like this or finally have Steve ride off into the sunset. This fight with Marshall will be no picnic. He has burst upon the local scene with some impressive performances.

“Like many coming to the fight, I have no idea how this fight shakes out, which makes for a great main event. One thing I will say, despite what Steve like to make people believe, in the event he wins this fight, it won’t be his final fight. Zero chance of that! If Marshall wins, I have no doubt he will get a television fight in the very near future on a major network.”

McAllister KOs Djarbeng – Adds a WBO Title To His Collection of Championship Accolades

Deja un comentario
Informe de Ringside: Gianluca Di Caro

Seis veces, Five Division World Champion Lee McAllister not only successfully defended the Consejo Profesional de Boxeo (PBC) Intercontinental title he secured in Accra, Ghana back in March this year, but also added the vacant Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB) Africa Zone Championship belt to his huge collection, following a fourth knockout of Ghanaian Richmond Djarbeng on the LET BATTLE COMMENCE IV event that took place at the Northern Hotel in Aberdeen on Saturday 29th May 2021.


Fifty lucky fans were ringside to watch the UK’s most decorated boxer in action, as LET BATTLE COMMENCE IV was the first boxing ‘test’ event in Scotland, which hopefully will lead to more fans, preferably up to full capacity, being able to attend boxing events from next month as the pandemic restrictions are relaxed further.


Millions more tuned in to watch the live and free to view the Globally broadcast event on FITE, VIVA LIVE, PPV LIVE as well as the numerous digital and linear channels that also carried the live broadcast.


There wasn’t that much action initially in the first round, so much so that world renowned Championship Referee Roger Barnor stepped in and ‘encouraged’ the protagonists to stop tentatively testing and throw some real punches in anger, which they did in style during the dying seconds of the round.


The first minute of the second stanza contained more action than the entire first round, albeit much of it being testing shots, well that is until around mid-point when McAllister burst into action, letting rip with a succession of blistering shots to send Djarbeng down to the canvas.


Have to say I was mightily surprised that Djarbeng was able to beat the count, pero lo hizo, and on the restart the ‘Aberdeen Assassin’ calmly strode over and let rip another flurry of scintillating powerful Exocets to body and head to send the Ghanaian to the deck for a second and surely final time – pero no hay, much to everyone’s surprise Djarbeng, que estaba claramente en un montón de dolor, once again managed to make it to his feet before Roger Barnor finished the count.


On the restart once again McAllister went on the attack, yet somehow Djarbeng managed to survive the onslaught and even let rip with some shots of his own.


Round three was an edgy affair, with both fighters working off their jabs, Djarbeng proved to be quite durable, I for one was surprised when he shrugged off some seriously vicious shots to the head as the round progressed.


The fourth was by far the best round so far, action wise, and once again the Ghanaian showed just how tough he was as once again he survived some seriously powerful shots, para el cuerpo y la cabeza, that clearly hurt him.


As the round progressed McAllister landed more big shots, after which Djarbeng would grab hold of the increasingly aggressive McAllister. This tactic didn’t do the Ghanaian many favours as the Aberdeen Assassin just kept letting rip and the inevitable happened, Djarbeng crashed to the deck for a third time following a huge right-left combination to the head, this time though Djarbeng just couldn’t rise to his feet and was clearly in a lot of pain. Referee Roger Barnor waived the fight off with just twelve seconds of the round remaining.


WBO Africa’s Samir Captan presented both Championship belts as PBC President Russell Jaques was busy co-commentating alongside Sportanarium Radio’s Trevor Lake.


Preceding McAllister-Djarbeng was a fantastic lightweight contest between Denny’s Kevin Traynor and Tilbury Village’s debuting Jay Cartwright, who stepped in with just a day notice after Traynor’s original opponent Nicaraguan Jose Aguilar failed to gain entry into the UK after flying in from Spain.


The first round was phenomenal, it was all action with both protagonists giving everything for virtually every second of the round. I couldn’t split them and neither could referee Roger Barnor.


Round two was another full on war, boy oh boy did these warriors go for it! However the pace had a seriously detrimental affect on Cartwright, he was out on his feet as he headed back to his corner at the end of the round, so much so that his corner summoned over Roger Barnor and retired his charge in the corner.


Plaudits to Jay Cartwright, he was expecting to be making his professional debut in Colchester on the 31st July 2021, yet bravely agreed to take the fight at very short notice, even though he had not had any time to prepare fully for this contest.


The third bout of the evening see Aberdeen’s Nathan Beattie in action against another late replacement, Belfast’s Marty Kayes who stepped in when Nicaraguan Christian Narvaez, who like Aguilar was refused entry to the UK after flying in from Spain as a replacement for original opponent Dundalk’s Michael Kelly.


At this point I think I should mention that it was Kayes’ wedding anniversary the following day and somehow got his wife Julia’s permission to cancel their planned evening out to take the fight, I think that may just set the scene perfectly.


Kayes was clearly in the mood for a good scrap, right from the opening bell of the contest he took control of centre ring and just kept forcing Beattie onto the back foot before letting rip with shot after shot.


It really wasn’t that much different in the second, don’t get me wrong Beattie landed the best shots by far in each round, just not enough of them to secure either of the rounds.


Beattie started to get more proactive in the third and again landed the most telling shots, but still it was the Irishman that was dictating the proceedings, the same in the fourth and final round.


At the end of four action packed rounds Nate Dog’s fans were clearly expecting their hero to secure the win or at worse a draw, but when Referee Lee Murtagh’s scorecards were announced they fell into a stunned silence as they declared a 40-38 points victory in favour of Marty Kayes


The second fight of the night pitted Aberdeen’s Craig Dick (2-0-0) against Essex based Lithuanian hard-man Tomas Vaicickas (1-2-0) in a four round Heavyweight contest.


Dick is a renowned heavy hitter and Vaicickas is extremely durable, so nobody could or would have expected the contest to come to it’s conclusion after just 47 segundo, pero lo hizo, following Dick letting rip with a huge powerful hook to the body that sent the Lithuanian to the canvas just twenty seconds into the round.


I was surprised when Vaicickas made the count and continued but not that surprised he was to return to the deck seconds later following another big hook to the ribs.


The opening contest featured local big hitting youngster Liam Allan in action against Belfast’s Darren Burns


What a cracking opening round, both lads vying to control centre ring, some very tasty bombs were thrown by both protagonists, a cracking round to watch.


Both lads started the second stanza more cautiously, Burns was the first to throw a big shot, but Allan, who is remarkably agile for a big lad, moved just enough to prevent it landing, Allan then took to the front foot backing up Burns before letting rip with a huge right to send the Irishman to the canvas.


Burns made the count, but on the restart Allan moved in and let rip with a big left, followed by a left-right combination that rocked Burns, Allan continued the assault with another powerful left-right to send Burns down for the second time .


Again Burns made the count, this time Allan stepped in on the restart and let rip with a massive right to send the tough as nails Irishman down to the canvas where he ended doubled up, Referee Lee Murtagh was so concerned he immediately waived the fight off and summoned Burns’ corner and the medical team to the ring.


I’m pleased to say the medical team wasn’t needed and the official time of the stoppage was one minute and fifty four seconds off the second round.


Have to say it was really great to be at an event with fans in attendance again, even though there was only fifty allowed, it may sound crazy but even though the fans were instructed by the authorities to stay seated and just offer polite clapping at the end of the fights, the atmosphere was so different from the ‘behind closed doors’ events that had preceded over the past year.


For reference, as I am sure a lot of people will be wondering how Lee Mcallister was eligible to compete for the WBO Africa region Championship, this was explained on the British & Irish Boxing Authority’s website on the result page, which states; It should be noted that Mr McAllister was eligible to compete for the World Boxing Organization (OMB) Africa Championship due to his Ghana National Championship (and PBC Intercontinental Championship) victory over Collinson Korley on the 7th March 2021 in Accra, Ghana – it should also be noted Mr McAllister was eligible to compete for the Ghana National Championship as well as the World Boxing Organization (OMB) Africa Zone Championship due to family heritage.


Finally if you missed the live broadcast of LET BATTLE COMMENCE IV, you can still catch up as free to view replays are available on FITE athttps://www.fite.tv/watch/let-battle-commence-iv/2p9er/ – or check listings for replays on your local TV listings or if in UK the entire event will be available on demand via Sports Channel Network (Canal 265 on Freeview.YouView) from next weekend.

CARSON, CALIF.(Mayo 29, 2021) -Nonito Donaire es campeon una vez mas. Catorce años después de ganar su primer título mundial, el "Filipino Flash" consolidó sus credenciales del Salón de la Fama con una sensacional victoria por KO en el cuarto asalto sobreNordine Oubaalipara capturar el título mundial de peso gallo del WBC el sábado por la noche en el evento principal de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING desde Dignity Health Sports Park en Carson, California. en un evento de boxeo campeón de la Premier.

“El rey ha vuelto,Donaire sonrió después. “Me encantan las multitudes. Todos mis amigos, familia, todos los fanáticos del boxeo que vinieron muchas gracias. Ustedes son maravillosos.

Donaire, de 38 años. (41-6, 27 KOs) es ahora el campeón mundial de mayor edad en las 118 libras. Lo logró con la mano izquierda que ha sido la carta de presentación de su carrera cuando derribó a Oubaali. (17-1, 12 KOs) tres veces en total.

“Estar a esta edad no es la cuestión, se trata de mi desempeño,Donaire dijo. “Acerca de mi habilidad para crecer. Creo que no importa cuál sea tu edad., pero que mentalmente fuerte eres. Lo que aprendí de la [Naoya] Inoue lucha es que estoy de vuelta. Todavía puedo competir a este nivel.. Todo el tiempo no estuve peleando, estaba aprendiendo. Estoy listo para el siguiente”.

Después de una primera ronda de selección, Donaire se puso a trabajar en el segundo, derribando a Oubaali y contraatacando con un efecto de golpe sordo. Donaire anotó la primera caída a principios del tercero, derribando a Oubaali con su característico gancho de izquierda de contraataque. El francés se levantó con piernas inestables y Donaire saltó, aterrizando más golpes importantes hasta que otro gancho de izquierda derribó a Oubaali solo una fracción de segundo antes de que terminara la ronda.. De nuevo, Oubaali luchó por ponerse de pie, aturdido pero dispuesto a seguir luchando.

El final llegó rápido en el cuarto. Donaire maniobró hábilmente a Oubaali alrededor del ring, sujetándolo contra las cuerdas donde un uppercut de izquierda envió a Oubaali a la lona por tercera y última vez. El árbitro Jack Reiss lo canceló de inmediato.. La hora oficial del paro fue 1:52 de la cuarta ronda.

“Tres décadas de ser campeón mundial. nueve veces campeón del mundo. Eso es increíble,Donaire dijo. “Vine aquí y me sentí muy bien.. Hoy supe exactamente lo que iba a pasar. Sabía exactamente lo que iba a hacer. Creo que estaba muy concentrado en el gimnasio.. Fui muy, muy concentrado. Me sentí muy bien al entrar y estaba agradecido de tener esta oportunidad..

“Esta noche fue algo que tenía que demostrarle al mundo que volví y que soy más fuerte que nunca.. era un tipo muy duro. Creo que en última instancia para mí, había un nivel de debería ser más paciente? ¿O debería ir a por ello?? Algo que aprendí en la pelea de Inoue fue ir a matar.. Y eso es exactamente lo que hice. yo era paciente, pero sabía que estaba lo suficientemente herido como para sacarlo”.

En la pelea co-estelar, Puerto Rico deSubriel Matias (17-1, 17 KOs) entregó otra exhibición de poder de perforación, rompiendo previamente invictoBatyr Jukembayev (18-1, 14 KOs) hasta que la esquina de Jukembayev detuvo la pelea después de ocho rondas fascinantes.

“Creo que esto es lo que todos esperaban. Todos sabían que iba a ser una gran guerra.,dijo Matías. “Esto iba a terminar por nocaut, ya fuera que me noquearan a mí o a Jukembayev.. Estoy contento de haber sido yo quien lo noqueó”.

Matías se consolida como uno de los mejores en una división apilada, pero esta última victoria no fue fácil. Jukembayev de Kazajstán salió fuerte, aterrizando una combinación de gancho de derecha y gancho de derecha arriba desde su postura de zurdo que llamó la atención de Matías en la primera.

Jukembayev empujó el ritmo en el segundo. Matías empezó a soltar las manos en el tercero., lanzando en combinación a la cabeza y el cuerpo. Ambos combatientes ahora estaban completamente calentados., preparando el escenario para una cuarta ronda que podría ser candidata para la "Ronda del año".


Comenzó cuando un fuerte gancho de izquierda tambaleó a Jukembayev y lo empujó a la lona.. Matías buscó cerrar el show pero Jukembayev aguantó, se aclaró la cabeza y comenzó a aterrizar sus propios tiros. Queda un minuto en la estrofa, Jukembayev sorprendió a Matías con un centro de izquierda. En lugar de remachar, Matias luchó fuego con fuego, sacar a la multitud de sus asientos con acción de pies a cabeza hasta que sonó la campana.

Matias nunca dejó de dar un paso al frente. Siguiendo un sexto unilateral, Jukembayev volvió a su rincón con los dos ojos hinchados. El ida y vuelta se produjo en el séptimo cuando Jukembayev zumbó a Matías con dos ganchos de derecha hacia el final de la ronda..

Matías volvió al asiento del conductor en el octavo asalto, golpeando a Jukembayev con ambos puños. En total, superó a Jukembayev por 100 golpes (234/608 a 134 /409) y fue más preciso (38.5% a 32.8%). La acumulación de golpes fue suficiente para convencer al córner de Jukembayev de pedir que se detuviera el combate..

"Sabía que no tenía nada que perder. Entro y estaba haciendo todo fuerte,dijo Matías. “Él sabía que todo lo que podía hacer era noquearme para ganar. yo hubiera hecho lo mismo. Ese es el corazón de un guerrero y tiene todo mi respeto..

“Después de esa cuarta ronda, osea que es un luchador muy competitivo, entonces se convirtió en una guerra después de ese punto. Mis manos van hacia él también.. Fue una gran pelea. Definitivamente he tenido otros oponentes que fueron muy buenos, pero este es el que me ha dado la prueba más dura”.

En la apertura de la transmisión por televisión, Gary Russell Antuanne (14-0, 14 KOs) continuó su ascenso en las filas de los superligeros. El invicto Russell se convirtió en el primero en detener al rudoJovanie Santiago (14-2-1, 10 KOs), dominando a Santiago hasta que la réferi Sharon Sands detuvo la contienda después del sexto asalto por sugerencia de la esquina de Santiago.

“El objetivo es sacar al hombre lo antes posible y que salga ileso.,”Dijo Russell. “Solo quiero decir que Santiago era un oponente de clase A. Mucha gente piensa que venció a Adrien Broner. Quiero a Adrien Broner ahora”.

Con su hermano mayor y campeón mundial de peso pluma del CMB, Gary Russell Jr.. trabajando en su esquina, Gary Antuanne controló la acción desde el campanazo inicial. La 2016 Olympian trabajó el jab y directamente a la izquierda detrás de la postura del zurdo, rompiendo la cabeza de Santiago hacia atrás varias veces en la primera.

Russell, 24, Continuó aterrizando la izquierda en el segundo y tercer. A principios del cuarto, Siguió un recto de izquierda a las costillas con un corto gancho de derecha arriba que hizo caer a Santiago de rodillas.. Santiago de Puerto Rico se puso de pie valientemente y sobrevivió a la embestida de seguimiento para salir de la ronda.
