HEAVYWEIGHT UPSET BREWING IN DETROIT?
Gormley Confident that Undefeated Ruiz Will Taste Defeat at ‘Detroit Brawl’ אויף שבת, יולי 16
, at Masonic Temple Having already experienced being a world-rated TV-level fighter under tremendous pressure to win every fight impressively, Miami-based slugger Josh “Dempsey” Gormley says he much prefers the lowered expectations of being considered the “קעגנער” since coming back to boxing.
“There’s a lot of pressure on you as the A-side guy,” explained Gormley. “As an opponent, I’m supposed to lose, so when I win it’ll be that much more dramatic.”
Gormley (22-4, 21 קאָס) will face WBO #5-, יבף #5-, and WBC #7-rated and current NABF heavyweight champion Andy “The Destroyer from Mexicali” רויז (27-0, 18 קאָס) in a non-title fight דעם שבת אין דעטראָיט. The two bruising heavyweights will meet in the 10-round main event of Salita Promotions’ latest “Detroit Brawl” event at the Masonic Temple.
Sponsored by Thomas Magee’s Sporting House Whiskey Bar, טיקיץ פֿאַר “Detroit Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, רינגסייד $93, Reserved $63 און $38, and Balcony $28, and are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Tickmaster.com.
Gormley says he isn’t prepared to go along with the expected outcome for a 41-year-old fighter taking on a top contender in just his third fight since returning from a 16-year retirement. He’s coming to Detroit to win.
“ער ס גאנץ פֿאַר מיר,” he said of Ruiz. “I feel like I’m fighting the weakest guy in the top 10. He doesn’t punch hard and I won’t have to look for him. He comes forward a lot and he’s not Floyd Mayweather. I don’t think he can handle my power. Now that I’m older, I hit harder than ever and I’m in great shape. I doubt it’ll last the distance. I’ll get him out of there in about five rounds. Even if he does, I’m in great shape to beat him over the distance.”
Gormley, reportedly the grandson of all-time-great heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey, פארקערט פּראָ אין 1992 and flirted with world-contender status before suffering a pair of tough losses and retiring in 1999. אָבער, באָקסינג, like any addiction, eventually lured him back.
“I just want to take opportunities and see what I can do,” ער האט. “געווינען אָדער פאַרלירן, I’m just carrying on my legacy and seeing what I can still do. My goal is to be champ of the world. But I’m not chasing that dream lie I used to. A long time ago I chased the heavyweight championship dream so hard that every loss was devastating. איצט, I want to take the opportunities as they come and win some of them. And hey, when I beat this guy, I’m back in the top 10!”
Scheduled in support of the main event that night will be Giorgi Gelashvili (4-0, 2 קאָס) of Brooklyn via Georgia facing comebacking veteran Eric Hall (8-9-1, 4 קאָס) of Durand, Michigan in a super lightweight six-rounder.
אויך, סערדאַר הודייַבערדייעוו (2-0, 2 קאָס) of Turkmenabat, Turkmenistan, will face fellow undefeated fighter Steven Andrade (3-0, 2 קאָס) פון אַטלאַנטאַ, Georgia in a welterweight four-rounder.
The opponent for the long-awaited pro debut of Dearborn, Michigan’s “Southpaw Prince” Gheith Karim, a three-time national amateur champion, will be two-fight welterweight scrapper Dean Walsh Jr. of Monroe, מישיגן.
Detroit prospect Demetrius Banks (7-0, 4 קאָס) is scheduled for a six-round cruiserweight match-up against Niagara Falls, New York’s Eric George (4-11).
Promising Detroit bantamweight Jarico O’Quinn (1-0, 1 קאָ), a recent Salita Promotions signee, will take on Sergio Aguilar (0-3) of Miami Beach, פלאָרידאַ, in a four-round bout; super bantamweight Zach Shamoun (3-0-1, 3 קאָס) of Royal Oak, מישיגן, will face also-unbeaten Jose Elizondo (1-0) פון סאַן אַנטאָניאָ, טעקסאַס; and so-far perfect undefeated cruiserweight Clarence Dubose (3-0, 3 קאָס) of Detroit will look to keep his KO streak intact against Karinn Davis (2-6, 2 קאָס) פון זשעקסאן, מישיגן.
Detroit middleweight Dorell Van Horn Jr. (9-0, 6 קאָס) will face Rapid City, South Dakota’s Ryan Soft (3-5-1, 1 קאָ) in a six-rounder.
