MIAMI(Junho 7, 2021) - Excelente boxe de todos os temposFloyd "Money" Mayweathere sensação nas redes sociaisLogan “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.

“Ele era forte, tough and better than I thought he was,” said Mayweather. “I was surprised by him tonight. That was some good little work.”

“It’s an honor to share the ring with Floyd,” said 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, antes de permitir que Paul avançasse com uma enxurrada de tiros poderosos no final da rodada que foram bloqueados em sua maioria, mas animou a multidão, no entanto. Conforme a luta avançava, Mayweather começou a encontrar um local para acertar vários tiros poderosos na cabeça e no corpo de Paul.

Apesar de sofrer punição nas rodadas intermediárias, Paul foi capaz de usar sua vantagem de peso de mais de 30 libras para frequentemente amarrar Mayweather e evitar ser parado ou enviado para a tela.

“Mesmo sem muita experiencia, ele sabia usar seu peso para me amarrar esta noite,” said Mayweather.

Após a luta, os lutadores expressaram gratidão e inspiração aos fãs que os ajudaram a alcançar as alturas que permitiram que esta partida se tornasse realidade.

“Eu me diverti esta noite,” said Mayweather. “Agradeço a todos os fãs que vieram, vocês são todos inacreditáveis.”

“Eu não quero que ninguém me diga que algo é impossível de novo,” said Paul. “O fato de eu ter chegado aqui com um dos maiores boxeadores de todos os tempos, isso prova que as probabilidades podem ser superadas. Qualquer um pode vencer as adversidades e fazer grandes coisas na vida. Esta é uma das melhores noites da minha vida, Estou feliz. "

No co-evento principal, ex-campeão mundial de duas divisõesBadou Jack(24-3-3, 14 KOs) entregou uma paralisação dominante na quarta rodada de invencíveisDervin Hill(15-1, 13 KOs) em seu duelo de meio-pesado.

“O plano de jogo era apenas colocá-lo na caixa de saída,”Disse Jack. “Todo o resto virá. Definitivamente, acertar o corpo. Ele era um pouco mole no corpo, mas eu o respeito. Ele saiu em curto prazo. Ele deveria lutar na próxima semana, mas este é um nível diferente. ”

Conhecido como um iniciador lento ao longo de sua carreira bem sucedida, Jack saiu mais rápido nesta luta e foi afiado desde o início contra o adversário substituto Colina, que substituiu Jean Pascal depois que Pascal falhou em um teste de drogas antes da luta.

“Ele estava tentando segurar muito e sobreviver,”Disse Jack. “Eu luto melhor quando luto contra adversários melhores. Eu fui um pouco desleixado. As lutas de classe mundial são quando eu tenho o melhor desempenho. ”

A eficácia de Jack forçou Colina a tentar segurar para impedir o ataque, mas ele só foi capaz de usar essa estratégia brevemente, como árbitro Frank Santore Jr. tirou pontos por segurar nas rodadas dois e três, avisando Colina que mais uma infração encerraria a luta em desclassificação.

Na quarta rodada, Jack acertou uma direita direta que colocou Colina no tatame no minuto inicial do quadro. Colina lutou bravamente para permanecer na luta, mas o ataque corporal de Jack o ajudou finalmente a ganhar a paralisação. Uma combinação no corpo derrubou Colina pela segunda vez e uma contra-mão direita derrubou Colina pela terceira e última vez, quando o árbitro interrompeu a luta em 2:57 na rodada.

“Eu sou um cara grande e ando pesado, então eu posso subir para cruiserweight,”Disse Jack postar luta sobre seus planos futuros. “Meu objetivo é me tornar um campeão de três divisões e luto melhor quando não tenho que perder muito peso.”

A transmissão de pay-per-view também viu competidores veteranosLuis Arias(19-2-1, 9 KOs) obter uma vitória por decisão dividida sobre o ex-campeão unificado de 154 libras“Swift” Jarrett Hurd(24-2, 16 KOs) em um evento cheio de ação de 10 rodadas.

“Não tenho certeza do que deu errado esta noite,”Disse Hurd. “Eu acredito que ganhei a luta. Eu tive um knockdown. Eu poderia inventar uma centena de desculpas, mas não foi um ótimo desempenho. ”

Arias controlou as primeiras rodadas do duelo, atacando Hurd com várias combinações que acertaram em cheio. Seu poder de perfuração limpo foi uma vantagem em todo, quando ele acertou Hurd em socos poderosos por um total de 153 para 120 enquanto pousa sobre 40% dessas fotos.

“O plano do jogo era saltar sobre ele, obter a liderança inicial e mantê-la,”Disse Arias. “Eu senti que nos rounds do meio eu estava ganhando a luta, mas nunca se sabe porque eu não era o lado A nessa luta. Eu zumbi muito com ele, especialmente no interior. ”

Hurd começou a tentar montar um retorno nas rodadas cinco e seis, 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,”Disse 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.

“O plano que sairia na primeira rodada era boxear,”Disse Hurd. “Eu não estava tão confiante com meus pés quando a chuva caiu, então eu tive que ir de igual para igual mais. Não foi realmente para isso que treinamos, então eu fui um pouco desleixado. ”

Arias se recuperou efetivamente do knockdown na rodada final, com seu ataque, eventualmente, forçando Hurd a tentar se segurar nos minutos finais para chegar ao sino final. Em sua primeira saída com o novo treinador Ismael Salas, Arias terminou a noite vitorioso, com um juiz marcando a luta 95-94 para Hurd, anulado por dezenas de 97-93 e 96-93 para Arias.

“Gostaria de agradecer a Ismael Salas,”Disse Arias. “Eu vim para ele meio tarde. Cerca de seis ou sete semanas e eu precisava mudar algo em meu plano de jogo para vencer 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,”Disse 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,”Disse 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. Obrigado, Chade. Foi uma honra lutar contra meu ídolo e eu agradeço isso. ”

Johnson mostrou os "pés doces" que o tornaram um jogador profissional seis vezes, pousar alguns jabs fortes e verificar os ganchos à distância, ao mesmo tempo em que evita sérios danos de Maxwell nas três primeiras rodadas.

Na quarta rodada, Maxwell deu uma exclamação à luta, pousando um contador overhand direito que conectou e colocou Johnson na tela com 40 segundos para o fim da rodada. Em sua primeira incursão na doce ciência, Johnson foi capaz de se recuperar do tiro, fique de pé e chegue ao sino final.

Sempre disposto a entrar em águas desconfortáveis ​​ao longo de sua carreira, Após a luta, Johnson expressou esperança de que sua aventura no ringue sirva como um exemplo positivo para aqueles que estão assistindo.

“Minha vida sempre foi sobre arriscar e fazer coisas malucas e este é apenas mais um fora da minha lista de desejos,”Disse Johnson. “É uma mensagem para muitas pessoas que têm medo de falhar, com medo de perder, com medo de se arriscar a ir lá e viver. Não tenha medo de falhar, tudo bem. Eu não boxe. Eu luto, mas não está no ringue, então é claro que fui um pouco desleixado. ”

NEF TO DEBUT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE; WELTERWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT ANNOUNCED

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Milford, New Hampshire (Junho 7, 2021) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) announced today that the fight promotion will return with its next event, "NEF 44: De volta em preto," em 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: Alvoroço,” 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,"Disse o co-proprietário NEF e matchmaker 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,"Disse 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!"

Ingressos para “NEF 44: Back in Black ”já estão à venda emwww.NewEnglandFights.com/Tickets/.  The hybrid MMA and kickboxing event will take place at the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire no sábado, Agosto 21, 2021, com uma campainha de 7 PM.

The Unnatural Return of JD “The Natural” Chapman

Deixe um comentário

Junho 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. Em vez, he started fighting in Toughman Contest competitions before he turned pro in 2002. He chose the name “O natural” as Chapman hails from Arkansas, “O 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 vitórias e 26 nocautes. 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. Mais, Chapman was rated by just about every major sanctioning body including the lineal sanction body, o WBC, which gave him a World Rating of 14.

Chapman will return on an untelevised club show this Saturday, Junho 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 lbs, 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 lutas em seu currículo, spanning multiple combat sports disciplines, Mixed Martial Arts, 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, Incluindo Michael Moorer, Jeff Mayweather and Norman Wilson. Atualmente, he is trained by former MMA fighter Brian Foster and Chapman’s return is being guided by Edward Mendy of Lion Heart Boxing Productions.

MIAMI(Junho 4, 2021) - Lutadores competindo no Mayweather vs. Paul SHOWTIME PPV undercard previewed their respective showdowns during a final press conference Friday before they enter the ring this Sunday, Junho 6 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.

Friday’s press conference featured two-division championBadou Jacke invictoDervin Hill, who meet in the 10-round light heavyweight co-main event, and former unified champion“Swift” Jarrett Hurdand veteran contenderLuis Arias, who square off in a 10-round attraction.

Tickets for the live event are on sale now and available for purchase through Ticketmaster.com.

Here is what the fighters had to say Friday from the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry:

JACK Badou

“I’m just thankful that I’m still fighting on Sunday night. Now we have a new opponent and it’s going to be the same outcome. I’m in great shape and I can’t wait.

“Colina is just another guy. I respect him for coming in and stepping up as a late replacement. But I was going to win this fight on Sunday whether it was Pascal or anyone.

“I’m very frustrated about Jean Pascal. But I’m a pro and I can adjust no matter who is in front of me. I’m disappointed because I won the first fight against Pascal and I waited 18 months to get my revenge.

“I have a little anger that might get taken out on Colina, but it’s nothing personal, just business that I’m here to take care of on Sunday night.

“I don’t really care about the title too much, I really just cared about getting that revenge against Pascal. I waited so long for this and I could have taken different fights while I waited.

“He’s an undefeated guy so he’s going to come in here with a lot of confidence looking to show off his power. We’ll be ready though regardless how he comes into the fight. I had great sparring like always, so I’m prepared for what he’s going to bring.”

DERVIN COLINA

“I’d like to thank Team Badou Jack for the opportunity. Isto é o que eu faço. Eu nasci para isso. Come Sunday you guys will see what I do.

“I was scheduled to fight June 11 on a different card. The fight came a little bit earlier on June 6. But I’m ready to fight and there are no excuses for this fight. I’m coming to win at all costs. And you’ll see what I do on Sunday.

“I respect Badou and what he’s done in this sport, but I know that I have everything I need to shock the world come Sunday night.

“I have nothing to lose and that makes me dangerous. I’m going to leave everything in the ring and announce to the whole world that I’m a fighter you’re going to be hearing from.”

JARRETT HURD

“Everyone knows I have unfinished business at 154-pounds. I’m not looking past Arias though. This fight is just a stop at middleweight because I’m going back down to take care of that business.

“We’ve had an amazing training camp with my new trainer Kay Koroma in Colorado Springs. I have a chip on my shoulder. Eu acho que muitas pessoas esqueceram quem eu era. Tive o melhor currículo na categoria de peso. Vem domingo, Vou lembrar a todos quem eu sou.

“É sempre estritamente profissional e será o mesmo no domingo. Arias está obcecado com meu peso e acha que estou lutando. Mas ele precisa se concentrar no que precisa fazer no domingo à noite.

“Não sei onde estou classificado agora, mas eu sou o melhor lutador em 154 libras. Mostrar isso para o mundo é a meta no domingo.

“Acabamos de voltar ao básico no campo de treinamento com meu treinador Kay Koroma. Você sempre pode aprender mais no esporte.

“Eu tenho lutado boxe por 15 anos agora e o treinador Koroma apenas me ajudou a desenvolver as coisas que eu já sabia. Ele me fez não apenas avançar e usar minha força, mas movendo-se e lutando um pouco de boxe. ”

LUIS ARIAS

“Acho que a narrativa é que eles precisavam de um oponente para Jarrett Hurd, e eu não estava tão bem ultimamente. Mas as pessoas tendem a esquecer que eu era 18-0 antes de eu ter minha primeira mancha. Quando eu estava com Floyd Mayweather, Eu estava 9-0 e foi quando eu estava mais confortável. Essa é a mentalidade que estou levando para essa luta.

“Estou perto do Floyd desde dezembro. Eu estive em Vegas treinando na altitude, assim como Hurd. Estou em ótima forma para essa luta e ele ainda precisa descobrir como vai lutar.

“Agora o mundo do boxe vai assistir a essa luta. I’m going to be on my Ps and Qs and he won’t have to look for me. He will have to pick and choose once he gets hit on Sunday what style he wants to fight.

“This is a must-win for me. This is a great name for my resume. I haven’t ducked anyone. I’ve taken every name that’s been brought to me. When his name came up I said absolutely. I’m ready and I’m an old-school fighter. I’d fight you in this backyard, that backyard, any backyard. On Sunday it will show.

“He’s the one who has got the issue with the weight. The fight doesn’t really make much sense at 160 because he’s not ranked and wants to go back down to 154. Mas é uma oportunidade muito grande e um cartão muito grande para reclamar do peso. Vamos colocar as luvas e tudo o que ele pesar, ele pesa. Essa vai ser a melhor luta do card. ”

CHAD JOHNSON

“Eu me sinto muito bem. Tenho usado o boxe para me preparar para o futebol ao longo dos anos, mas eu nunca fiz isso nesta magnitude. Para se preparar para uma luta real, é algo novo. Estou enfrentando um cara que faz isso para viver, então eu não estou levando isso levianamente.

“Eu estava sempre nervoso antes de cada pontapé inicial. Então, eu seria um tolo em dizer que não estou nervoso ao entrar em algo onde estou fora do meu elemento.


“Uma coisa em que sou extremamente bom, é quando há luzes, câmeras e uma multidão, is going in there and entertaining.

“I’ve been working with Jorge Masvidal a little bit, but the last few weeks have been in Houston with Jermall and Jermell Charlo. That’s where most of my work has been. I’ve been doing everything possible to make sure I look the part Sunday night.

“I’m out of my element, so of course I’m approaching this fight humbly. He’s coming to knock my head off. Football is something I did all my life, that’s why I walked the way I did. I can’t be arrogant and take this fight lightly.”

BRIAN MAXWELL

“I don’t know how my name came up for this fight. But like everyone has said, ‘Who is Brian Maxwell?’ That’s been a trending topic on every social media. Mas adivinhem? Hoje, you all know who Brian Maxwell is. And I’m excited about this. It’s a perfect matchup for me. It’s a perfect matchup for Chad. The best of both worlds. Coming from a fan. My hashtag on social media has become ‘Idols Become Rivals.’ And this is the perfect time and the perfect moment for me and him. Like I told him over the phone, I’m a huge fan. But the fanboy has gone out the window. Now we have to entertain and that’s what we’re going to do.

“This is an exhibition, so we are coming to entertain the fans and put on a show. mas ao mesmo tempo, we are two men who are coming in front of each other and have to fight. No matter the outcome, we’re going to put on a great fight.

“I’ve followed this man since Day 1. I know his every move. I’ve modeled myself after him and it’s like fighting myself. I’m going to be humble about this and we are going to put on a show for everyone.

“That has been the question, what round am I going to knock him out. I’m here to entertain and to have fun. This is a great opportunity.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Promoções Mayweather

“We have a stacked undercard on Sunday night. I’ve promoted tons of events and this is one that I’m really looking forward to, because it gives us an array of great fights in addition to a little something different.

“I’m really looking forward to this card. South Florida has been buzzing since we announced this event. We can’t wait for the great crowd and the tons of fans tuning in from all around the world.

“When I think of Chad Johnson, he’s a showman. He does so many different things really well. He’ll be making his foray into the boxing industry in what should be a terrific bout against Brian Maxwell. Chad is looking to possibly steal the show, which is what he’s known for doing.

“Former unified champ Jarrett Hurd is a great champion and I’ve known him for many years. He’s looking to get back and make his mark where he left off. He’s let it be known that after this fight, he’s going to take control of the 154-pound division again. He’ll be up against Mayweather Promotions own Luis Arias and I’ve had the opportunity to witness Arias preparation firsthand. I can tell you right now he’s more than prepared to upset Jarrett.

“In the co-main, I can’t say enough about Badou Jack. He’s a great champion in the ring and a terrific example outside of the ring. He does so much to help people around the world and Floyd and I are really proud of him. We know he’s going to put on a great show Sunday.

“When it comes to this undercard, the fans are in for a great treat. It’s going to be nothing but action from top to bottom.”

DJ Zamora III Scores TKO in USA Debut

Deixe um comentário
LAS VEGAS, NV (Junho 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. Truta, um canhoto, did his best to apply pressure but was denied as Zamora kept his distance with an educated jab. Em três rounds, 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,” stated 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 dito. “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.”

O Barrientes Twins, Chavez e Anjo, 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" Possível canto do cisne para Steve Vukosa, Hora do extrato para Mike Marshall

Deixe um comentário
QUINCY, Massa. (Junho 1, 2021) - O evento principal em junho 26th Cartão “Breakout”, apresentado pelo Promoções Granite Chin, corresponde a dois pesos-pesados ​​da Nova Inglaterra em direções opostas, Steve "O Gentil Gigante ”Vukosa (13-1, 5 KOs) e “Fly” Mike Marshall (5-1, 4 KOs).

O cartão da noite de outro doubleheader dia-noite de Granite Chin (admissões separadas) é encabeçado pelo evento principal de 10 rounds para o vago NABA United States Heavyweight Championship entre Vukosa (13-1, 5 KOs) quem possivelmente estará lutando pela última vez - ganhe, perder ou empatar — e o atual campeão dos pesos pesados ​​da Nova Inglaterra, Marshall.

Vukosa, lutando de fora Quincy, MA, é um ex-WBC dos EUA. Campeão peso-pesado, que ele capturou em 2019 quando ele venceu uma decisão unânime de 8 assaltos contra Joe Cusumano (18-2, 16 KOs). Durante seus 20 anos de carreira no boxe profissional, Vukosa ganhou uma experiência inestimável de sparring no famoso ginásio Wild Card Boxing em Los Angeles como parceiro de treino para campeões mundiais James Toney, Evander Holyfield e Wladimir Klitschko. Ele também dirigiu um ônibus do passado 15 anos para a Autoridade de Transporte da Baía de Massa, a partir de 4 p.m. e terminando por aí 2 sou., depois do qual ele faz sua corrida em. Mas ele está agora 44 com esposa e três filhos e seu relógio de boxe está passando.

“Ainda estou lutando porque amo isso,”Explicou Vukosa. “É difícil abandonar algo em que você é bom. Essa luta e pode ser o fim. Minha esposa ficará feliz. Meu corpo está começando a desmoronar: mãos, costas e joelhos. Eles têm me matado. Eu costumava ser rápido e rápido, agora estou lento. Eu só quero ter uma boa luta, ganhar, ou perder, mas eu quero ganhar. Eu realmente gostei dos dias no Wild Card, aquelas sessões de sparring eram como lutas reais, e meus dias de amador com o treinador Jimmy Farrell.

“Eu vi meu oponente quando ele ganhou o título da Nova Inglaterra, Fiquei impressionado. (promotor)Chris (Traietti) ligou perguntando se eu lutaria com ele, Aceitei porque gosto de lutar e um bom desafio. Estou ansioso para a luta. "

O Marshall de 36 anos, lutando fora de Danbury, CT, ganhou suas duas últimas lutas, ambos nos shows do Granite Chin no mesmo local de sua próxima partida com Vukosa, incluindo seu N.E. desempenho vencedor do título em novembro passado contra Justin “Crazy Train” Rolfe. Marshall não está olhando para seu oponente como doido por causa da idade avançada de Vukosa, mas ele planeja fazer uma declaração de que, esperançosamente, vai dar a ele uma exposição positiva fora da Nova Inglaterra.

"Eu sei que ele é um pugilista veterano, um aluno do treinador do Hall da Fama Freddie Roach, que foi um lutador incrível por direito próprio,”Marshall comentou. “Isto é boxe, tudo pode acontecer. Meu trabalho é me preparar para qualquer coisa. Eu tive o sparring de melhor qualidade em casa com o No. 1 peso pesado amador, Fernely Felix, Jr. Minha equipe trabalha muito, Minha manjedoura, A.J. Galante, me pediu para ser mais afiado na minha última luta (3-rodada KO de Tracey Johnson abril passado), então eu fiz o que ele me pediu para fazer. Meu cornerman Austin Ampeoquio me mantém afiado com as luvas, e meus treinadores principais David McDonough e Bennie ‘The Jet’ Little faça um bom trabalho me empurrando também.

“Eu sei que Steve vem para lutar e estou ansioso por uma noite emocionante de boxe. Somos dois guerreiros frente a frente no ringue, dando um show para os fãs de boxe que realmente gostam do esporte do boxe, não esse lixo de celebridade do YouTube que está acontecendo agora. ”

“Steve teve azar após a vitória de Cusumano,”O presidente da Granite Chin, Chris Traietti, comentou. “Algumas lutas não deram certo, então a pandemia COVID-19 atingiu. Literalmente, tivemos uma briga na Alemanha no dia em que devíamos partir para o aeroporto. Depois disso perdemos muito fôlego com a luta de Cusamano e meio que tivemos que reavaliar. Ele começou uma luta de ajustes há alguns meses, mas agora temos que recuperar o ímpeto vencendo uma luta como esta ou, finalmente, fazer com que Steve cavalgue ao pôr do sol. Esta luta com o Marshall não será um piquenique. Ele estourou na cena local com algumas performances impressionantes.

“Como muitos vindo para a luta, Eu não tenho ideia de como essa luta vai acontecer, o que torna um grande evento principal. Uma coisa eu direi, apesar do que Steve gosta de fazer as pessoas acreditarem, no caso de ele ganhar esta luta, não será sua luta final. Zero chance disso! Se Marshall ganhar, Não tenho dúvidas de que ele terá uma luta na televisão em um futuro muito próximo em uma grande rede. ”

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

Deixe um comentário
Relatório ao lado do ringue: Gianluca Di Caro

Six time, Five Division World Champion Lee McAllister not only successfully defended the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Intercontinental title he secured in Accra, Ghana back in March this year, but also added the vacant Organização Mundial de Boxe (WBO) 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, mas ele fez, 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 – mas nenhuma, much to everyone’s surprise Djarbeng, que estava claramente em um monte de dor, 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, to both body and head, 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 segundos, mas fez, 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 (WBO) 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 (WBO) 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 (Channel 265 on Freeview.YouView) from next weekend.

CARSON, CALIF.(Maio 29, 2021) -Nonito Donaire is champion once again. Fourteen years after he won his first world title, the “Filipino Flash” cemented his Hall of Fame credentials with a sensational fourth-round KO win overNordine Oubaalito capture the WBC World Bantamweight title Saturday night in the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Califa. in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

“The king has returned,” Donaire beamed afterward. “I just love the crowds. All my friends, família, all the boxing fans that came out thank you so much. You guys are wonderful.”

The 38-year-old Donaire (41-6, 27 KOs) is now the oldest world champion ever at 118-pounds. He accomplished it with the left hand that has been the calling card of his career as he dropped Oubaali (17-1, 12 KOs) three times in total.

“Being at this age is not the question, it’s about my performance,” said Donaire. “About my ability to grow. I believe it matters not what your age is, but how mentally strong you are. What I learned from the [Naoya] Inoue fight is that I’m back. I can still compete at this level. The whole time I was not fighting, I was learning. I’m ready for the next one.”

Following a feel-out first round, Donaire went to work in the second, walking Oubaali down and countering with thudding effect. Donaire scored the first knockdown early in the third, dropping Oubaali with his trademark counter left hook. The Frenchman rose on unsteady legs and Donaire pounced, landing more big shots until another left hook floored Oubaali just a split second before the round ended. Novamente, Oubaali struggled to his feet, dazed yet willing to fight on.

The end came swiftly in the fourth. Donaire expertly maneuvered Oubaali around the ring, pinning him against the ropes where a left uppercut sent Oubaali crumpling to the canvas for a third and final time. Referee Jack Reiss immediately called it off. The official time of the stoppage was 1:52 of the fourth round.

“Three decades of being world champion. Nine-time world champion. That’s amazing,” said Donaire. “I came in here and I felt really good. Today I knew exactly what was going to happen. I knew exactly what I was going to do. I think I was just very focused in the gym. I was very, very focused. I just felt really good coming in and I was grateful to get this opportunity.

“Tonight was something that I had to prove to the world that I’m back and I’m stronger than ever. He was a very tough guy. I think ultimately for me, there was a level of should I be more patient? Or should I go for it? Something I learned in the Inoue fight was to go for the kill. And that’s exactly what I did. I was patient, but I knew he was hurt enough that I could take him out.”

Na co-metragem, Puerto Rico deSubriel Matias (17-1, 17 KOs) delivered another power-punching display, breaking down previously-unbeatenBatyr Jukembayev (18-1, 14 KOs) until Jukembayev’s corner stopped the bout after eight riveting rounds.

“I think this is what everybody expected. Everybody knew it was going to be a great war,” said Matias. “This was going to end by knockout whether I was going to get knocked out or Jukembayev was going to get knocked out. I’m just glad it was me who knocked him out.”

Matias establishes himself as one of the best in a stacked division, but this latest win wasn’t easy. Kazakhstan’s Jukembayev came out strong, landing a right hook-right uppercut combination upstairs from his southpaw stance that got Matias’ attention in the first.

Jukembayev pushed the pace in the second. Matias began letting his hands go in the third, throwing in combination to the head and body. Both combatants were now fully warmed up, setting the stage for a fourth round that could be a candidate for “Round of the Year.”


It began when a hard left hook staggered Jukembayev and drove him to the canvas. Matias sought to close the show but Jukembayev held on, cleared his head and started landing his own shots. With a minute left in the stanza, Jukembayev stunned Matias with a left cross. Instead of clinching, Matias fought fire with fire, bringing the crowd out of their seats with toe-to-toe action until the bell sounded.

Matias never stopped coming forward. Following a one-sided sixth, Jukembayev returned to his corner with both eyes swelling shut. The back and forth ensued in the seventh as Jukembayev buzzed Matias with two right hooks toward the end of the round.

Matias returned to the driver’s seat in the eighth round, pounding away at Jukembayev with both fists. No total, he out-landed Jukembayev by 100 socos (234/608 para 134 /409) and was more accurate (38.5% para 32.8%). The accumulation of blows was enough to convince Jukembayev’s corner to request the bout be stopped.

“He knew he had nothing to lose. He came in and was doing everything strong,” said Matias. “He knew that all he could do was knock me out to win. I would have done the same thing. That’s a warrior’s heart and he has all my respect.

“After that fourth round, I mean he is a very competitive fighter, so it turned into a war after that point. My hands go up to him as well. Foi uma grande luta. I definitely have had other opponents that were very good, but this is the one that has given me the hardest test.”

Na abertura da cerimônia, Gary Antuanne Russell (14-0, 14 KOs) continued his ascent up the super lightweight ranks. The undefeated Russell became the first to stop the ruggedJovanie Santiago (14-2-1, 10 KOs), dominating Santiago until referee Sharon Sands halted the contest following the sixth round at the suggestion of Santiago’s corner.

“The objective is to get the man out as soon as possible and come out unscathed,” said Russell. “I just want to say that Santiago was a class-A opponent. A lot of people think he beat Adrien Broner. I want Adrien Broner now.”

With older brother and WBC World Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr. working his corner, Gary Antuanne controlled the action from the opening bell. O 2016 Olympian worked the jab and straight left behind the southpaw stance, snapping Santiago’s head back several times in the first.

Russell, 24, continued to land the left in the second and third. Early in the fourth, he followed up a straight left to the ribs with a short right hook upstairs that dropped Santiago to a knee. Puerto Rico’s Santiago gamely rose to his feet and survived the follow-up onslaught to make it out of the round.

“The importance to me is to execute round-by-round, and round-by-round, I was executing more and more. My father told me to go to the body, right hook upstairs. He was open to that,” said Russell.

Russell showed no signs of slowing despite being extended beyond four rounds for the first time in his pro career. The Capital Heights, Md. product battered Santiago in the sixth, landing punishing combinations throughout the frame. Momentos depois, the bout was stopped.

“It’s definitely important to me to perform so I’m not just known as Gary Russell’s younger brother,” said Russell, que desembarcou 146 de 444 socos (32.9%). “I come from an excellent background of fighters. We’re building a dynasty.

“How soon do I want to get back in the ring? If I could fight on the Deontay Wilder card, that would be great.”
