Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez targets Saul “Canelo” Alvarez for future mega-showdown

Lämna en kommentar

LAS VEGAS (Januari 21, 2021) – If 29-year-oldGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 Kos), arguably already one of the top 25 Mexican fighters of all-time, has his way as he enters his prime years, he will eventually have a mega-showdown with fellow countrymanSaul "Canelo" Alvarez (54-2-32, 36 Kos) before making their way to the Hall of Fame.

“Anything is possible, and it’ll be great for fans if a fight for me against ‘Canelo’ happens,” Ramirez said. “With two Mexicans in the ring, you know it’ll be a war from round one. We’ll see what happens in the future.”

Först, fast, Ramirez has some business to take care of starting with a potential Interim World Boxing Council (WBC) light heavyweight World title fight against 2012 US. Olympian“Sir” Marcus Browne (23-1, 16 Kos).

The WBC recently ordered No. 1 rated Ramirez vs. LÅT BLI. 4 Browne. Team Zurdo and Team Browne have until February 5th to work out a deal before it goes to purse bid. Ramirez is promoted by his own company, Zurdo Promotions, while Browne is represented by PBC.

If everything goes as Ramirez plans, he’ll have a world unification fight with either WBC/IBF light heavyweight World championArtur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 Kos) or WBA Super title-holderDmitry Bivol (17-0, 11 Kos, preferably later in 2021, pending COVID-19 restrictions.

“I never look past any fight,” Ramirez noted. “In this sport, on any given night, the best man will win. All I can do is train hard and prepare myself to be my best for when the occasion arises. Brun, Bivol, Beterbiev or Canelo, it doesn’t matter who I fight; I always train hard to make sure I’m ready when the fight is here.”

Ramirez became the first Mexican fighter to capture a world super middleweight crown in 2016, when the athletic southpaw thoroughly dominated defending champion“King” Arthur Abraham (44-4), winning each round for a 12-round unanimous decision (120-106 X 3) to become the WBO world champion.

I 2019, Alvarez joined WBO titlistJulio Cesar Gonzalez (2003) as the only Mexican-born light heavyweight champions of the world, when he stopped 34-3-1Sergey Kovalev i 11th round to become the WBO World light heavyweight champion. The 9-time, 4-division world champion Alvarez relinquished his WBO light heavyweight crown without defending it.

Ramirez is off to the 5th-best winning streak to start a professional career in Mexican boxing history behind four Hall of Famers: his idolJulio César Chávez (87), Carlos Zarate (52), Ricardo Lopez (47) ochMarco Antonio Barrera (43). 

The dream match for “Zurdo,” of course, is down the road against Canelo. How about having it on Cinco de Mayo or Mexican Independence Day? 

Between then and now, emellertid, Ramirez needs a career-defining victory against a primetime opponent such as Beterbiev or Bivol to set the stage for a Canelo showdown.

“We’ll see if he’s (Canelo) able to do it again (fight as a light heavyweight),” Ramirez added. “He’s already fought at that weight once (lätt tungvikt) and I don’t see why it should be a problem unless it was a fluke. But I do understand he and his team will have to be a lot more cautious navigating this weight class, compared to the lower divisions, due to the higher risk. Also, we’ve been around each other before and even sparred. He knows I’m not just a Kovalev or a Callum Smith.

“It’ll (Canelo vs. Zurdo”) be an instant classic and a great way to showcase top-tier Mexican boxing to the world. I think fans will love this battle between Sinaloa (Ramirez) and Jalisco (Alvarez)."

USA Boxing Converts Abandoned Department Store Into National Training Gym for Preparations for Olympic Games Tokyo 2020

Lämna en kommentar

(COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.) – When the boxers of the USA Boxing Olympic Qualification Team arrived in Colorado Springs, Colorado. this week they walked into a new training facility with just over six months left until the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, and even less time to their qualification tournaments.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, USA Boxing athletes have not been allowed to train in the national boxing gym at the United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center (USOPTC) since March 2020 and have had to continue to make adjustments to their training plans, which included training at the French National Training Center in Paris in late 2020.

After being told they would not be allowed to begin 2021 at the USOPTC, the coaching and national office staff had to find a new home to begin the final preparations for the qualification tournaments taking place in May and June.

“After spending most of 2020 waiting to be allowed entry back into our national gym at the Colorado Springs OPTC, it was time that we took matters into our own hands and established a training space that can properly accommodate our team’s training needs,” said Matt Johnson, USA Boxing High Performance Director.

USA Boxing ended 2020 and the beginning of 2021 moving all equipment, which included four boxing rings, numerous heavy bags and strength and conditioning equipment, from their gym at the USOPTC to an abandoned department store in a mall in Colorado Springs to hold training camps, while housing the boxers and coaching staff at the nearby Hotel Eleganté.

“We are able to continue to move forward in this COVID environment by applying multi-layer protection protocols, pre-travel testing, mandatory mask wearing, social distancing, regular cleaning, regular rapid antigen testing, daily health surveys and follow up PRC pool testing, as well as provide a top notch training facility in our temporary facility, which we are greatly thankful for John Bushman, owner of Hotel Eleganté and the training facility, to help provide these opportunities to our boxers,” stated Mike McAtee, USA Boxing Executive Director.

“The training facility and environment we have created has greatly reduced the risk to our boxers and coaches. USA Boxing strives to fulfill our stated mission to our boxers, ‘… (till) inspire the tireless pursuit of Olympic gold and enable our boxers and coaches to achieve sustained competitive excellence…’ in the face of a worldwide pandemic.”

The first training camp of 2021 began Jan. 14 and will run until Feb. 18, before the boxers head to Bulgaria and Spain for international competitions. USA Boxing will hold the final training camp before the America’s Olympic Qualification Tournament at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center, in Chula Vista, Calif., in another makeshift boxing gym, which held the final training camp of 2020 i November.

Janelson Figueroa Bocachica Returns Against Unbeaten Mark Reyes, Jr, in Main Event of ShoBox, Celebrating 20th Year Featuring Boxing’s Rising Stars

NEW YORK - Januari 20, 2021 - Exciting welterweight prospect Janelson Figueroa Bocachica will meet fellow undefeated Mark Reyes, Jr, i en ShoBox: Den nya generationen main event bout Wednesday, Februari 17 leva på SHOWTIME på 9 p.m. ET/PT from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Bocachica vs. Reyes headlines a four-fight card featuring eight compelling prospects with a combined record of 119-4-1, five of whom are undefeated.

Detroit’s Figueroa Bocachica (16-0, 11 Kos) is following up on his dominating performance in hisShoBox debut in October when he faces the power-punching Reyes (14-0, 12 Kos) from Tampa, Fla., i en 10-runda weltervikt bout. The co-main event will feature unbeaten Russian and Detroit-trained Vladimir Shishkin (11-0, 7 Kos) taking on Ghana’s Sena Agbeko (23-1, 18 Kos) in a 10-round super middleweight matchup. Dessutom, Alejandro Guerrero (12-0, 9 Kos) of Irving, Texas, återgår tillShoBox and faces Mexico’s Abraham Montoya (19-2-1, 14 Kos) i en åtta Ligt lätt match. Another Russian-based in Detroit, Mich., Timur Kerefov (9-0, 4 Kos), will battle middleweight prospect Argenis Espana (15-1, 14 Kos) of Venezuela in the eight-round telecast opener.

The four-fight telecast is promoted by Salita Promotions.

“I am delighted to promote an exciting night of boxing, featuring some of the best young talent in boxing in opposing corners,” Salita said. “The February 17 card features possibly the best new talent in four different weight divisions in pick ‘em fights. Middleweight Timur Kerefov, fighting with trainer SugarHill Steward in his corner, is looking to quickly climb up the ladder. Super featherweight Alejandro Guerrero is fighting his toughest test against Abraham Montoya. Super middleweight Vladimir Shishkin is looking for a breakout performance against the hungry Sena Agbeko, who is looking to make a name for himself. This show may also be the crowning of one of the best new welterweights in the world with an exciting matchup between undefeated prospects, Janelson Figueroa Bocachica and Mark Reyes, Jr.”

Steward, who legally changed his name to SugarHill Steward to honor his late uncle Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward, calls Kerefov, “One of the best middleweights in the world right now,” and that there is no limit to how far the 30-year-old can go. “We don’t have long conversations because of the language barrier, but I’m impressed how Timur is able to process the information I tell him, and quickly get better in the short time we’ve worked together,” said Steward, who is also training Anthony Dirrell at Big Time Boxing and Fitness in Boca Raton, Fla. “The Russians who come to Detroit are here to work and not run the streets, som jag gillar. They have families and know that boxing in the United States is the mecca. Så, they take it very seriously.”

Bocachica vs. Reyes – 10-Round Welterweight Main Event Bout

Bocachica returns for his second consecutiveShoBox appearance as the 22-year-old Detroit native overpowered Puerto Rico’s Nicklaus Flaz from the start earning a first-round TKO at 2:43 of round one in October. Bocachica is a four-year pro who began boxing at age eight. He won four consecutive Ringside Championships (2011-14), the National PAL Championships and the 2015 Detroit Golden Gloves. He boasts an amateur record of 55-5. He is trained by his father, Nelson Figueroa.

“After the last appearance onShoBox, I felt like that was the performance that I needed,” Bochachia said. “I picked Mark Reyes out myself because I wanted better competition and he is 14-0. I want to put a statement out to all of the fighters in the 147-pound division. A win gets me closer to my dreams. I am fighting better opposition. It shows that Janelson is the truth, and I am coming for everyone in the welterweight division. I am not worrying about anything.”

Reyes is coming off of a first-round knockout of Diego Perez on November 21, in his hometown of Tampa. Reyes was a successful amateur winning the PAL National Tournament in 2012, as well as the Junior Olympics and Ringside Tournament. He also won two National tournaments competing for Puerto Rico: the 2015 Frankie Larvae National Championships and 2016 Cheo Aponte National Championships. Övergripande, he accumulated a record of 45-5 before turning pro in March 2016. He is now trained by Raul “Chino” Rivas, who also coaches former world champion Tevin Farmer.

“I am excited to be in this position, fighting onShoBox, where a win will put my name on the boxing map,” Reyes said. “Bocachica is a solid fighter, but I look forward to adding the first loss to his record and showing the viewers why I took this fight on short notice. Training camp has been going great and I will be ready.”

Shishkin vs. Agbeko – 10-Round Super Middleweight Bout

Shishkin has previously fought twice onShoBox earning impressive wins over Ulises Sierra and DeAndre Ware. Steward worked Shishkin’s corner for the Sierra fight, but Steward’s commitment to heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has not allowed the two to train exclusively together. Shishkin has recently been working with L.J. Harrison. In his last fight on August 20, he recorded a ninth-round technical knockout of Oscar Riojas. Shishkin is currently ranked No. 9 av WBC, LÅT BLI. 11 genom WBA och nr. 12 by the IBF in the 168-pound division.

“I’m grateful, gång, to get the chance to showcase my skills on SHOWTIME,” said Shishkin, 29. “I’m preparing in a new gym called Superbad with a new coach. I’m curious how that will affect me in the bout. I know this fight puts me just one step closer to my goal of becoming a world champion.”

Born and raised in Accra, ghana, Agbeko was a member of the Ghanaian National Team as a youth and had 69 amatör skjutningarna. Agbeko turned pro in 2011 vid en ålder av 19 and had his first 15 bouts in Ghana before relocating to the United States in 2013 to pursue his dream of becoming a world champion. Agbeko has fine-tuned his craft serving as a sparring partner for Caleb Plant, Badou Jack and Brandon Adams. Agbeko currently lives in Nashville, Tenn., with his wife.

“Training is going great and we’ve been training for a while already, so we’re just doubling down on a few things and fine-tuning as well for the fight,” Agbeko said. “I know my opponent has an extensive amateur background and a style that’s reflective of where he’s from in Russia. I expect an aggressive, yet well-calculated fighter. I will win this fight because I know I want it more and, as a result, have put more effort into preparation. My superior boxing skills coupled with desire and effort will get it done.”

Guerrero vs. Montoya – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout

Slåss av Houston, Texas, Guerrero is a big-punching prospect who won a closely contested slugfest via majority decision over Jose Angulo in the lastShoBox telecast before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the sports world for several months in March 2020. Prior to that win, Guerrero had stopped three consecutive opponents including a second-round TKO of Darnell Jiles, Jr. i januari 2020. A celebrated amateur who won two junior national titles, the 22-year-old “Pork Chop” has sparred with the likes of world champions Mikey Garcia and Brandon Rios at the famed Garcia Boxing Academy in California.

“I know nothing about my opponent, but I’ve watched one clip of him and that’s all I needed to see to know he will go down,” Guerrero said. “This fight will mean a lot to me because it will show the world I’m the real deal. I will win this fight for my career and my family.”

The 26-year-old Montoya, of Baja California, Mexiko, will be making his United States debut on February 17 and will be fighting outside of his native Mexico for just the second time. After dropping his second professional contest, Montoya rallied to go unbeaten in his next 18 bouts before traveling to Russia in November 2019 to take on undefeated prospect Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov, where he lost a 12-round decision. Montoya rebounded to score a second-round TKO over Reyes David Lopez his last time out in October, and also owns an impressive victory over then-undefeated prospect Luis Alberto Lopez Vargas.

“Fighting in the U.S. and on SHOWTIME has always been my dream and I can’t wait for February 17 to show what I can do,” Montoya said. “I’ve never worked or trained as hard for a fight as I have for this one. I’ve seen my opponent and know he will bring the action just like his last fight. He will be tough, but I’m as ready for this as I’ve ever been.”

Kerefov vs. Espana – Eight-Round Middleweight Bout

Hailing from Shaluska, Ryssland, and now fighting out of Detroit, Mich., Kerefov will make hisShoBox debut on February 17. Kerefov, 30, amassed an impressive 298-12 amateur record in his home country during his nearly decade-long reign at the elite level of international amateur boxing. I 2019, Kerefov turned in five impressive victories in Russia prior to his United States debut at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit in August 2020, where he turned in a dominating unanimous decision victory over Calvin Metcalf in a middleweight bout.

“I am in the middle of a great training camp with trainer SugarHill Steward in Florida,” Kerefov said. “I look forward to showing the boxing fans that I am the new face of the middleweight division.”

The 31-year-old southpaw, Espana, will be fighting for the first time in the United States as 14 av hans 16 professional bouts have taken place in Venezuela. The power-punching Espana’s only career loss was to Dervin Colina in 2019 och 14 av hans 15 victories have come via knockout. I december, he TKO’d Leonard Carrillo in his last fight.

“This is a great opportunity for me to appear in the U.S.,” Espana said. “I know very little about my opponent, but that does not bother me at all. I am always training and ready to go the distance or less. Victory will get me closer to a world title.”

International Boxing Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins will call the action from ringside with fellow Hall of Famer and boxing historian Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. Exekutiv producent är Gordon Hall med Richard Gaughan producera och Rick Phillips rikta.

AFTER 45 YEARS IN THE HEART OF DARKNESS AFRICA ROARS BACK ONTO THE GLOBAL BOXING SCENE

Lämna en kommentar

Class vs Mwale and Pulev vs Meroro co-headline historic ‘Rumble-in-Dar’ Global TV event on Jan 29th

Over the years African Boxing has been seen as the poor relative when it comes to Global audiences for professional boxing from the Continent. America and Europe have dominated the scene it seems forever, but that had already began to change, as more recently it is the Middle East that has come to the fore hosting the big events that attract the Global interest.

In just over a weeks time Boxing from Africa, will roar back onto the scene determined to make such an impact that the fans of sport’s focus will begin to shift towards that Continent too.

Historically Boxing in Africa has attracted Global audiences, who could forget that one of the biggest fights of all time took place in Africa. Tillbaka i oktober 1974 the world’s eyes were on Zaire as Muhammad Ali challenged George Foreman for his World Crown in Kinshasa.

Whilst Rumble in the Jungle, arguably the greatest sporting event of the 20th century, was the most watched boxing event ever, drawing an estimated one billion viewers Globally, the expected Legacy for Boxing in Africa failed to materialise. Ja, since then there have been a few fights on the Continent that were shown on Major Networks in America and Europe, these were one offs, there have been no regular international events to maintain the momentum, but that is all about to change…

On the 29th January 2021, Botswana based Global Boxing Stars and Tanzania based Jackson Group present the first of six planned Fight Night events in the Tanzania, evocatively named “Rumble-In-Dar“, they hope will redress the balance and attract fans of the pugilistic arts around the World.

The ground breaking event is co-headlined by Tanzania’s Ibrahim Class (24-6-0) versus South Africa based Malawian Dennis Mwale (8-0-0), who will be competing for the World Boxing Federation (WBFed) Intercontinental Lightweight Championship.

Bulgaria’s Tervel Pulev (15-0-0), the brother of Heavyweight Kubrat Pulev, who was KO’d by Anthony Joshua back in December, versus Namibia’s Vikapita Meroro (29-9-0) co-headlines in a non-championship ten rounder.

The packed undercard features a further Championship contest, between Tanzania’s Shaban Hamadi Jongo (7-1-2) och New York, USA’s Shawn Miller (18-5-1) for the WBFed International Heavyweight belt.

Unbeaten Zambian World Prospect Lolita Muzeya (16-0-0) makes her return to the ring on the event and South Africa’s rising Heavyweight sensation Ardi “The Iron Fist” Ndembo (1-0-0) makes his second pro outing.

‘Rumble-in-Dar’ will take place in front of an audience at the Next Door Arena in Dar-Es-Salaam, as Tanzania, unlike much of the World today, has been little affected by the COVID 19 pandemic and will be broadcast Globally, providing free to view access to in excess of three quarter of a Billion Homes and Billions more Devices.

So just who are the people so intent on changing not only the perception of African Boxing but also on showcasing African talent on a Global platform.

Scott Patrick Farrell, the founder of Global Boxing Stars, is the former CEO of Ringstar Boxing and former Managing director of Commvault inc, a corporation that that went ipo for over 500 million dollars whilst Scott was part of the senior Management team.

“In business and in life timing is everything, I believe this is the right time, Tanzania is the right place and between GBS and the Jackson Group we have the right partnership to take this platform to the next level, plans are afoot to deploy world titles, world title eliminators as well as international non-title bouts on the future bills, so as to raise the profile and quality of the bills show by show. We have a strategy to position Dar es Salaam as a new sports tourism hub.”

Scott lives the dream and works regularly with the only Boxing hall of fame eight division World champion Senator Manny Pacquiao as co-promoter and producer/event director for the Manny Pacquiao Championship Boxing Series.

Over the years Scott has built and been a very integral part of numerous contenders becoming World Champions, such as; IBF Bantamweight number one contender Michael Dasmarinas. Scott took the unknown boxer from the Philippines to become the IBO world champion, and then to a victory in the IBF world title eliminator. Making Dasmarinas the mandatory challenger for the much-sorted crown of the IBF world title. Other success comes with four division World Champion and current WBO World Champion John Riel Casimero as part of the Sean Gibbons & Manny Pacquiao Championship Boxing team, and Paulus ‘The Rock” Ambunda former WBO and IBO world champion, Scott secured his third world title victory with Ringstar Asia.

Scott has now taken all his life lessons and experience and partnered with Jeremy Bean, who has Pan African connectivity and experience in staging live broadcast events from all major economic hubs of the continent to create Global Boxing Stars, a professional management company to represent and build a fighter’s career. His focus is developing fighters based in Africa and other parts of the world, to build new World Champion prospects to sign with the top promoters in the USA, UK and other parts of the world. Scott has a great working relationship and proven track record with the giants of the boxing industry such as Top Rank, PBC, Golden Boy, DAZN and Matchroom, and many more…

“We are extremely energised by this collaboration partnership, we have alignment, a common vision and the energy is good. Together Global Boxing Stars and the Jackson Group seek to develop a new commercial model for Pan African boxing and unlock value through pooling of our networks, resources and operational capacity. Myself and Kelvin are marketing guys that the boxing bug has bitten, we see Pan African boxing as a sleeping giant and believe our partnership will pioneer a new approach that will bring corporate partners with a Pan African footprint to the table.” Said fellow Director of Global Boxing Stars Jeremy Bean.

Jeremy comes from an advertising background, along with practical sports marketing and event staging experience along with a proven track record of producing international, live broadcast boxing events across the African continent.

While producing the Pan African boxing content for the Kwesé ESPN partnership, Jeremy staged fights in all the major economic hubs of Southern, East and West Africa.

Joining the dynamic duo on this major project is Kelvin Twissa, CEO of The Jackson Group.

“Jeremy and I first connected when I was doing shows with Sport Pesa in Kenya and he was producing the Pan African boxing content for the ESPN Kwesé partnership, now under different banners and with what appears opportune timing we are teaming up to position Tanzania as a new fight mecca and sport tourism hub. The Jackson Group and Global Boxing Stars have formed a powerful, cross functional team – we can talk marketing and commercials to brands and sponsors, we can talk television and production specs to broadcasters and now we can talk boxing, all as a single powerful partnership unit.”

Kelvin, a high-level marketing strategist with experience managing campaigns and brands across Africa, is the former Global Chief Marketing Officer of SportPesa, brings to the team vast experience via various marketing roles at Exco level with some of the largest corporates and Telcos on the African continent.

Now in the role of CEO under the banner of the Jackson Group, Kelvin is able to unlock value through commercial partnerships and connectivity across the East African hub and the continent at large. Kelvin’s experience in sports ranges from football working with Clubs and Leagues in Africa and Europe including the Everton, Arsenal, Laliga and Cape Town City FC.

During his time at SportPesa Kelvin created the SportPesa Fight Night, as well as brought Tony Bellew to Kenya as part of the Everton SportPesa Boxing Road Show. The Nairobi Figth Night Series commanded over 7.4 million audience in Kenya alone being shown in over 7 channels across Africa.

Without doubt the stage appears set for a new energy and approach to Pan African boxing, with Tanzania providing the backdrop and this exciting partnership between Global Boxing Stars and The Jackson Group pioneering a new commercial and collaborative model.

Rumble in Dar, co-headlined by Ibrahim Class versus Dennis Mwale for the World Boxing Federation (WBFed) Intercontinental Lightweight Championship and Tervel Pulev versus Vikapita Meroro takes place at the Next Door Arena, Masaki, Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania on Friday the 29th January 2021.

Joining host broadcaster Azam TV are numerous broadcast platforms worldwide such as NBC Namibia, Astro Arens (Malaysia) plus more (check local Channel/Cable Network schedule) and will also be streamed live and free to view onFITE.TV, Gineko Network, Boxing TV, PPV Live,  360 PR App etc (further Streaming Channels to be announced soon) as well as on the Go Boxing YouTube and Daily Motion Channels, Rumble in Dar will also be available as Video on Demand seven days after the event on Sports channel Network (SCN) and other VOD platforms.

41-0 Gilberto “Southpaw” Ramirez all in for WBC Interim World light heavyweight clash with “Sir” Marcus Browne

Lämna en kommentar
LAS VEGAS (Januari 14, 2021) — The first super middleweight world champion of Mexican decent, obesegrad Gilberto “Southpaw” Ramirez (41-0, 27 Kos) is all in for a potential World Boxing Council (WBC) Interim light heavyweight World title fight against 2012 US. Olympian “Sir” Marcus Browne (23-1, 16 Kos).

The WBC ordered Ramirez vs. Browne this past Monday because reigning WBC light heavyweight World champion Artur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 Kos) hasn’t defended his title since capturing it October 18, 2019, due to getting COVID-19 during training camp, as well as for other pandemic related restrictions. Beterbiev is also the reigning International Boxing Federation (IBF) light heavyweight World champion.

Ramirez is the No. 1 light heavyweight contender in the WBC ratings, while Browne is ranked No. 4. Team Zurdo and Team Browne have until February 5th to work out a deal before it’ll go to purse bid. Martinez is promoted by his own company, Zurdo Promotions, while Browne is represented by PBC.

“This is an interesting opportunity and I’m ready to fight anyone in the light heavyweight division to leave my mark on the sport,” Ramirez said. “I know Marcus has been out of the ring for a while, but he’s a U.S. Olympian and still one of the best in the game. I know he’s wanted this fight for a while and hopefully we can make something happen.

“Dessutom, it’s always been my dream to get the green belt (WBC) and bring it back to Mexico. I have a lot of respect for the WBC and Mauricio Suliman and I am grateful for all their love and support throughout my career.”

Förra månaden, Ramirez fought for the first time in 20 månader, stopping defending champion Alfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-4, 25 Kos) in the 10th round of the “Slaget vid Rio Grande” main event, which marked the debut of Zurdo Promotions.

The 29-year-old Ramirez became the first Mexican fighter to capture a world super middleweight crown in 2016, when the ultra-gifted, athletic southpaw pitched a complete shutout against defending title holder “Kung” Arthur Abraham(44-4), winning each round for a 12-round unanimous decision (120-106 X 3) to become the World Boxing Organization (WBO) världsmästare.

Ramirez successful defended his WBO title five times against 33-4-1 Maksym Bursak (DEC12), 22-0 Jessie Hart (DEC12), 25-0-1 Habib Ahmed (25-0-1), 23-0 Roemer Alexis Angulo (DEC12), and Hart again in a rematch (DEC12). “Southpaw” moved up to the light heavyweight division in 2019, destroying 29-6-1 Tommy Karpency, who was unable to continue fighting after four rounds.

A talented southpaw as well, Browne was a decorated U.S. amateur out of New York City, who won gold medals at the 2010 US. Nationella PAL mästerskap och 2012 US. SM, prior to representing the U.S. at the Olympic Games in London.

Browne, 30, is a past WBA Interim light heavyweight World champion. He has beaten a pair of word champions, 22-1-3 Badou Jack (DEC12) och 25-7-1 Gabriel Campillo (25-7-2). Other notable opponents he has defeated include 21-0 Radivoje Kalajdzic (DEC8), 20-2 Thomas Williams (KO6), 28-0 Sean Monaghan (TKO2), och 18-1-1 Lenin Castillo (DEC10). Browne’s last fight was August 3, 2019, when he suffered his first loss as a professional to former world champion Jean Pascal(33-6-1) via an eight-round technical decision, after Browne suffered a severe cut over his left eye from an accidental head-butt.

“There are always challenges to making a fight become reality,” Ramirez concluded, “but me being both the fighter and sole promoter, I’m flexible on the common problems that takes to make a fight. I’m not sure how much time Marcus will need to be ready, but both time and location can be determined when the other preliminary items are agreed upon. If it goes to a purse bid, I’m ready for the process and, hopefully, this fight can happen for both of us.”

Uncasville, Conn. - December 20, 2020 - Obesegrad bantamvikt Reymart Gaballo gjorde en kontroversiell delningsbeslutsseger över tidigare världsmästare Emmanuel Rodriguez i huvudevenemanget på lördagskvällarna SHOWTIMEBOXING: SPECIALUTGÅVA från Mohegan Sun Arena i Uncasville, Conn., i ett evenemang som presenteras av Premier Boxing Champions. Med segern, Gaballo plockade upp den lediga tillfälliga titeln WBC Bantamweight.

Lördagens headliner i det senaste SHOWTIME BOXING-evenemanget den 2020 var konkurrenskraftig från öppningsklockan. På bara tre av de tolv omgångarna var Rodriguez och Gaballo åtskilda av mer än tre landade slag. Övergripande, Bitar (24-0, 20 Kos) kastade 148 fler slag än Rodriguez (19-2, 12 Kos), men lyckades ändå ansluta 16 färre kraftstansar. Stansarna från den 28-årige Rodriguez verkade vara renare, när han vacklade den filippinska Gaballo vid mer än ett tillfälle. Emellertid, två av domarna gynnade Gaballos aggression över Rodriguezs ringgeneralskap.

SHOWTIME: s inofficiella målskytt Steve Farhood gjorde matchen 118-110 till förmån för Rodriguez och SHOWTIME-analytiker och före detta världsmästare Raul Marquez blev förfärad över domarnas beslut.

”Det finns inget sätt Gaballo kunde ha vunnit den kampen,”Sa Marquez. ”I värsta fall, du kunde ha gett honom tre omgångar. Jag gav honom inga omgångar. ”

”Jag är väldigt glad och välsignad att vinna detta bälte,”Sa den 24-årige Gaballo. ”Jag gick alltid framåt och kontrollerade takten, så jag trodde att det var en nära kamp som någon av oss kunde ha vunnit.

”Jag väntar på att mitt team ska berätta vad de har planerat för mig nästa. Jag kommer att fortsätta träna hårt så jag är alltid redo för möjligheten när det kommer. ”

”Det var en bra kamp, men han vann bara ungefär två eller tre omgångar,”Sa Rodriguez. ”Det kom två slag från mig för varje slag han landade. Han vet att han förlorade. Alla vet att vi vann. Mitt team ber mig att gå ut och fortsätta boxa honom i de sena omgångarna. Vi visste att han behövde en knockout i den tolfte omgången. Det var hans enda chans att vinna. ”

I co-main event, Philadelphias obesegrade weltervikt sensation Jaron Ennis (26-0, 24 Kos) såg hans imponerande 16-kamp knockout-rad komma till en nedslående slut efter en oavsiktlig headbutt i första omgången orsakade ett brutalt snitt i hans motståndares panna, Chris van Heerden (28-2-1, 12 Kos). Titta på huvudstöt HÄR: https://twitter.com/ShowtimeBoxing/status/1340495823474442240

Med bara två minuter och trettonio sekunder inuti ringen för att visa upp sina färdigheter, Ennis kunde fortfarande få en glimt av sin mästerskapspotential när han landade 22 av 57 stansar, 19 av dem kraftskott när han verkade avsedd att stoppa den sydafrikanska van Heerden och hålla sin KO-sträcka vid liv före huvudstöt.

”Innan headbutt hade jag redan klippt honom och kände mig stark,”Sa en besviken Ennis. ”Jag visste att han var redo att gå. Jag känner att jag blir bättre och bättre. Nu kommer jag bara tillbaka i gymmet. Som du kunde se från första omgången, Jag hanterade honom lätt. Jag känner att alla fortfarande sover på mig, men jag är redo för alla. Ta med de stora namnen. ”

I telecast-öppnaren, bantamvikt utmanare Gary Antonio Russell (18-0, 12 Kos) behöll sin obefläckade rekord intakt med en teknisk seger över tidigare världsmästare Juan Carlos Payano (21-5, 9 Kos). Efter en oavsiktlig headbutt orsakade ett dåligt snitt i Payanos vänstra panna, domaren David Fields stoppade striden efter den sjätte omgången på råd från ringläkaren. Striden gick till styrkort, där Russell ledde på alla tre korten (58-56, 59-55, 59-55).

Innan skadan, Russell och Payano var engagerade i en skrämmande slagsmål som såg flera utbyten av maktstansar. Under de sista sekunderna av den sjätte, och slutligen sista omgången, Russell fångade Payano med ett motskott som skadade Payano. Russell landade 86 av 243 slag medan Payano landade precis 58 av 268 stansar. Russell blinkade utmärkt kroppsarbete under hela kampen, landar Payano 40 till 17 på kroppsskott.

I SHOWTIME BOXING Förhandlar action som strömmade live på SHOWTIME Sports YouTube-kanal och SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook-sida, högt ansedd 21-årig prospekt Brandun Lee (21-0, 19 Kos) utvidgade hans knockout-sträcka till 13 med tredje stopp av Dakota Linger (12-5-2, 8 Kos) och Benjamin Whitaker (15-4, 3 Kos) gjorde seger för majoritetsbeslut (76-76, 77-75, 79-73) över tidigare obesegrad prospekt Zsolt Daranyi (15-1, 14 Kos).

Lördagens SHOWTIME BOXNING: SPECIALUTGÅVA telecast spelas om på måndag kl 10 p.m. ET / PT på SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Ett branschledande produktionsteam och tillkännagivande besättning levererade alla sevärdheter, ljud och drama från Mohegan Sun Arena. Veteransändaren Brian Custer var värd för sändningen. Mångsidig kampsportröst Mauro Ranallo kallade actionringen vid sidan av Hall of Fame-analytikern Al Bernstein och den tidigare medelviktiga världsmästaren Raúl “El Diamante” Marquez som tillhandahöll expertanalys.

LOGAN PAUL GÅR MED BRENDAN SCHAUBS MATTRUCKDAGBOKAR FÖR ATT FÖREDRAGA KOMMANDE FLOYD MÅNGSBÅT OCH POTENTIALKAMP MOT HANS BRODER JAKE

Lämna en kommentar

”Jag tycker att det är oundvikligt,”- Logan Paul om potentiell kamp mot sin bror, Jake

Se hela mattruckdagböckerna IntervjuHÄR

VAD: YouTube-sensation blev professionell boxare Logan Paul går med i veckansMATTRUCK DIARIES, ett segment under SHOWTIME Sports digitala talkshow och podcastserierUNDER BELTET MED BRENDAN SCHAUBför att förhandsgranska hans högt spionerade februari 2021 boxningsutställning mot hela tiden stora Floyd Mayweather.

Paul berättar för Schaub hur Mayweather-striden kom att uppnå, förklarar var hans kärlek och passion för boxning kom ifrån och spekulerar i en potentiell kollision med sin bror och proffsboxaren Jake Paul, som fick en viral sensation över den tidigare NBA-stjärnan Nate Robinson förra månaden.

Nedan följer utdrag från avsnittet:

Om hur striden med Floyd Mayweather kom ...

Paul - ”Jag undertecknade [kontraktet] och sedan bara några månader och månader fram och tillbaka, räkna ut datum - vi hade tre olika datum - och hur man tillkännager det och bara strategin bakom det. Det slutade slutligen och detta händelse som ersätter allt jag någonsin har gjort i mitt liv, slutligen stelnat. ”

På hans boxningsförmåga och sista kamp mot KSI ...

Paul - ”Jag tror att vi överraskar många människor. Det är vad jag har gjort hela mitt liv. Jag har precis överträffat förväntningarna och jag tror inte att det finns något på nätet som är representativt för hur bra jag är eller den nivå som jag arbetar på just nu när det gäller boxning. Jag tror att min sista kamp inte var vägledande i det minsta. Jag minns efter att det hände, bro, klockan ringde vid den sjätte omgången och jag hade en halv tank kvar ... Något klickade bara inte den dagen ... Ett år senare, efter en "L", du säkrar en kamp med den största kämpen på planeten. Det kändes aldrig som en förlust. ”

På reglerna för Mayweather-matchen ...

Paul - ”Jag tror inte att det finns någon vikt just nu. Om de får mig att gå ner i vikt blir jag arg. Jag ska göra något åt ​​det. Jag klagar över det och sh * t. Det är saken, höger? Den största boxaren genom tiderna möter den unga behemoten. Jag går in där och jag raser över den här killen och det är det som gör det spännande. Det är David vs.. Goliat. ”

På en potentiell kamp med sin bror, Jake ...

Paul - ”Min pappa vill inte att vi ska göra det. Om du vill ha min åsikt, Jag tycker att det är oundvikligt. Jag tror att Jake och jag om två till fyra år kommer att slå ut varandra i en ring och jag tror att det kommer att bli en av de mest historiska sportevenemang som någonsin ägt rum. ”

UNDER BÄLTET utforskar skärningspunkten mellan stridsport och popkultur genom ögonen på en före detta fighter, komiker och röda mattan värd Brendan Schaub.

Obesegrad lättviktsperspektiv Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz Inte längre bäst bevarad hemlighet efter Tyson-Jones, Jr. PPV visar prestanda

Lämna en kommentar

WORCESTER, Mäss. (December 14, 2020) - Före sin sensationella föreställning på den senaste Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view-händelse, obesegrad lättviktsutsikterJamaine “Teknikern” Ortiz var boxningens bäst bevarade hemlighet. Inte mer, fast, som Ortiz fast etablerade sig som en stigande stjärna framför otaliga fans bland 1.6 miljoner PPV-köp.

Ortiz flög från Boston till Los Angeles på Thanksgiving. Han kördes till sitt hotell, där han genast såg Jones, kontrollerade hans vikt, och gick till Staples Center. ”Jag var bekväm från början,”Sa den unga kämpen som kämpade för första gången som professionell utanför New England. ”Jag var där för att få jobbet gjort. Jag var på uppdrag. Jag går för att se Staples Center och det var coolt. Senare körde jag runt Staples Center och det fanns många statyer. Det var vackert. Det var coolt att se Lakers omklädningsrum. ”

Den 24-årige Ortiz (14-0, 8 Kos), den regerande världsmästaren i Boxing Youth, utslagenSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 Kos) med en blåmärke kroppsattack, skadar sin motståndare i sjätte omgången, och avslutar showen på spektakulärt sätt under den sjunde för det lediga World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (US) Silver lätt titel. Segawa hade aldrig stoppats tidigare som professionell.

Ortiz visade sin övergripande arsenal: styv jab, blixtsnabba händer och fötter, växla fram och tillbaka utan ansträngning från ortodoxa till southpaw-ståndpunkter, straffande krokar upp och ner, och de mest dödliga kroppsskotten sett från en New Englander sedan"Irländska" Micky Ward.   

”Jag var lugn och cool före striden,”Tillade Ortiz. ”Jag gillar att slåss, mentalt, som om det var en sparring session och jag gör alltid bra. Jag började i en ortodox hållning, etablerade min jab och använde den mycket. Jag tror att jag borde ha använt det mer och kunde ha slagit honom med det. Jag lyssnade på min tränare (Rocky Gonzalez) och han sa till mig när jag skulle byta. Kroppstansning är Nej. 1 sak med Rocky. Jag kanske inte har visat det nästan lika mycket i andra slagsmål, men han borrar det i mig hela tiden. I den sjätte omgången, han sa till mig att gå mer till kroppen, vill inte fånga honom, och i den sjunde skadade jag honom verkligen i kroppen.

”Segawa var definitivt tuff. Han hade slagit många killar, inklusive några han upprörd. Varje kamp är en språngbräda och jag är min värsta kritiker. Jag kände att jag kunde ha slagit ut honom i andra omgången, men jag ville inte gå ur spelplanen

Ortiz ställde upp Segawa från öppningsklockan, bröt ner honom, och avslutade showen i storslagen stil då Seqawa skadades och fastnade i repen, dra kudos från högt respekterade människor i branschen som"Socker" Ray Leonard, Teddy Atlas, och andra. Ortiz fanbase växte exponentiellt då boxningsfans skyndade sig för att följa Jamaine under och efter hans breakout-kamp.

”En gång såg folk mig spela och min stil,”Fortsatte Ortiz, ”De gillade mig. Jag kunde ha visat mer och kastat fler kombinationer. Jag behövde verkligen slåss framför världen. jag har 5,500 nya Instagram-blommor den kvällen. jag antar, Jag är inte längre den bäst bevarade hemligheten i boxning. ”

”Vårt huvudmål är att vinna en världstitel,”Gonzalez kommenterade. ”Det här var roligt och en fantastisk möjlighet, men motivationen att bli världsmästare är starkare. Han hanterade denna kamp som bara en annan kamp, och han följde vår spelplan.

”Hans kroppsskott skapade slutet. Jag berättar alltid för honom om Micky Wards kroppsskott. Du vet, boxning är en dans, en salsa. Boxare måste dansa; Jag tror inte att de bara borde vara ortodoxa. De måste alla slåss åt andra hållet och när Jamaine bytte ställning i den tredje, han släppte aldrig upp. Jag har tränat honom hårt. Jag är alltid på honom och vilket bättre sätt att hålla käften på mig än att avsluta det som han gjorde med betala per visning?  Det var en droppe av mikrofonmomentet!"

Ortiz främjas avJimmy Burchfield (Klassisk underhållning och sport) och rekommenderas avRichard Shappy ochEddie Imondi. 

På grund av osäkerheten i boxning på grund av pandemin, Ortiz ' 2021 schemat är okänt, men han boxar inte bäst bevarade hemlighet längre, "Teknikern" är en stjärna som stiger.
