Target ni Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez si Saul "Canelo" Alvarez para sa hinaharap na mega-showdown

Mag-iwan ng komento

Las Vegas (Enero 21, 2021) - Kung 29-taong-gulangGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 Kos), masasabing isa na sa tuktok 25 Mga mandirigmang Mexico sa lahat ng oras, ay may kanyang paraan sa pagpasok niya sa kanyang pangunahing taon, sa huli ay magkakaroon siya ng mega-showdown sa kapwa kababayanSaul "Canelo" Alvarez (54-2-32, 36 Kos) bago patungo sa Hall of Fame.

"Anumang bagay ay posible, at magiging mahusay ito para sa mga tagahanga kung ang isang laban para sa akin laban sa 'Canelo' ang mangyari,”Sabi ni Ramirez. "Kasama ang dalawang Mehikano sa singsing, alam mong magiging giyera mula sa ikot ng isa. Makikita natin kung ano ang mangyayari sa hinaharap. "

Una, kahit na, Si Ramirez ay may ilang negosyong dapat asikasuhin simula sa isang potensyal na Interim World Boxing Council (WBC) light heavyweight World title laban laban 2012 U.S. Ng Olimpus"Sir" Marcus Browne (23-1, 16 Kos).

Kamakailan ay inorder ng WBC ang No.. 1 na-rate si Ramirez vs.. Huwag. 4 Browne. Ang Team Zurdo at Team Browne ay mayroong hanggang Pebrero 5ika upang mag-ehersisyo ang isang deal bago ito mapunta sa purse bid. Si Ramirez ay itinaguyod ng kanyang sariling kumpanya, Mga Promosyon ng Zurdo, habang si Browne ay kinakatawan ng PBC.

Kung pupunta ang lahat ayon sa plano ni Ramirez, magkakaroon siya ng isang labanan sa pag-iisa sa mundo kasama ang alinman sa WBC / IBF light heavyweight World championArtur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 Kos) o may hawak ng pamagat ng WBA SuperDmitry Bivol (17-0, 11 Kos, mas mabuti mamaya sa 2021, nakabinbin ang mga paghihigpit sa COVID-19.

"Hindi ako lumipas ng anumang laban,”Nabanggit ni Ramirez. "Sa isport na ito, sa anumang naibigay na gabi, ang pinakamahusay na tao ay manalo. Ang magagawa ko lang ay sanayin nang husto at ihanda ang aking sarili na maging pinakamahusay para sa akin kapag may pagkakataon. Kayumanggi, Buffalo, Beterbiev o Canelo, hindi mahalaga kung sino ang lalaban ako; Palagi akong nagsasanay nang husto upang matiyak na handa ako kapag ang laban ay narito. "

Si Ramirez ay naging kauna-unahang Mehikanong manlalaban na nakakuha ng korona sa buong mundo na super middleweight 2016, nang ang atletikong southernpaw ay lubos na nangingibabaw sa defending champion"Hari" Arthur Abraham (44-4), panalo sa bawat pag-ikot para sa isang 12-bilog na nagkakaisa ng desisyon (120-106 X 3) upang maging kampeon sa WBO sa mundo.

Sa 2019, Sumali si Alvarez sa WBO titlistJulio Cesar Gonzalez (2003) bilang nag-iisang Mexico na ipinanganak na magaan na heavyweight na kampeon ng buong mundo, nang tumigil siya sa 34-3-1Sergey Kovalev sa 11ika bilog upang maging kampeon ng lightweight sa WBO World. Ang 9-time, 4-binitiwan ng division world champion na si Alvarez ang kanyang WBO light heavyweight na korona nang hindi ipinagtanggol ito.

Si Ramirez ay papunta sa 5ika-pinakamahusay na nagwagi ng sunod upang simulan ang isang propesyonal na karera sa kasaysayan ng boxing sa Mexico sa likod ng apat na Hall of Famers: ang idolo niyaJulio Cesar Chavez (87), Carlos Zarate (52), Ricardo Lopez (47) atMarco Antonio Barrera (43). 

Ang pangarap na tugma para sa "Zurdo," syempre, ay nasa daang laban sa Canelo. Kumusta naman ang pagkakaroon nito sa Cinco de Mayo o Mexico Independence Day? 

Sa pagitan noon at ngayon, gayunman, Kailangan ni Ramirez ng isang tagumpay na tumutukoy sa karera laban sa isang kalaban sa una tulad ng Beterbiev o Bivol upang maitaguyod ang isang yugto para sa isang Canelo showdown.

"Makikita natin kung siya (Canelo) nagagawa ulit (lumaban bilang isang magaan na bigat),”Dagdag pa ni Ramirez. "Nakipaglaban na siya sa bigat na minsan (ilaw matimbang) at hindi ko makita kung bakit ito dapat maging isang problema maliban kung ito ay isang fluke. Ngunit naiintindihan ko siya at ang kanyang koponan ay dapat na maging mas maingat sa pag-navigate sa klase ng timbang na ito, kumpara sa mas mababang dibisyon, dahil sa mas mataas na peligro. Din, nakapalibot na kami sa isa't isa at naghiwalay pa. Alam niya na hindi lamang ako isang Kovalev o isang Callum Smith.

"Ito ay (Canelo vs.. Kaliwete") maging isang instant na klasikong at isang mahusay na paraan upang maipakita ang nangungunang Mexican boxing sa buong mundo. Sa palagay ko magugustuhan ng mga tagahanga ang labanan sa pagitan ng Sinaloa (Ramirez) at Jalisco (Alvarez)."

Ang Agbeko ay kasalukuyang naninirahan sa Nashville, Tenn., kasama ang kanyang asawang babae.

“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

Labanan sa labas ng Houston, Teksas, 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.

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, Mehiko, 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, Russia, 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. Sa 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 ng kanyang 16 professional bouts have taken place in Venezuela. The power-punching Espana’s only career loss was to Dervin Colina in 2019 at 14 ng kanyang 15 victories have come via knockout. Noong Disyembre, 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.

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

Mag-iwan ng komento

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. Bumalik sa Oktubre 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. Oo, 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) at 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.

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

Mag-iwan ng komento
Las Vegas (Enero 14, 2021) — The first super middleweight world champion of Mexican decent, undefeated Gilberto “Souspow” Ramirez (41-0, 27 Kos) is all in for a potential World Boxing Council (WBC) Interim light heavyweight World title fight against 2012 U.S. Ng Olimpus “Ginoo” 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. Ang Team Zurdo at Team Browne ay mayroong hanggang Pebrero 5ika to work out a deal before it’ll go to purse bid. Martinez is promoted by his own company, Mga Promosyon ng Zurdo, habang si Browne ay kinakatawan ng 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.

“At saka, 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.”

Huling buwan, Ramirez fought for the first time in 20 na buwan, stopping defending champion Alfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-4, 25 Kos) in the 10th round of the “Battle of Rio Grande” pangunahing kaganapan, 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 “Hari” Arthur Abraham(44-4), panalo sa bawat pag-ikot para sa isang 12-bilog na nagkakaisa ng desisyon (120-106 X 3) to become the World Boxing Organization (WBO) mundo kampeon.

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). “Souspow” 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 U.S. Pambansang Pal Championships at 2012 U.S. Pambansang Championships, 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) at 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), at 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 – Undefeated bantamweight Reymart Gaballo scored a controversial split-decision victory over former world champion Emmanuel Rodriguez in the main event of Saturday night’s SHOWTIMEBOXING: SPECIAL EDITION from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions. Gamit ang tagumpay, Gaballo picked up the vacant interim WBC Bantamweight Title.

Saturday’s headliner in the last SHOWTIME BOXING event of 2020 was competitive from the opening bell. In only three of the twelve rounds were Rodriguez and Gaballo separated by more than three landed punches. Pangkalahatang, Gaballo (24-0, 20 Kos) threw 148 more punches than Rodriguez (19-2, 12 Kos), but still managed to connect on 16 fewer power punches. The punches of the 28-year-old Rodriguez seemed to be cleaner, as he wobbled the Filipino Gaballo on more than one occasion. Gayunman, two of the judges favored Gaballo’s aggression over Rodriguez’s ring generalship.

SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 118-110 in favor of Rodriguez and SHOWTIME analyst and former world champion Raul Marquez was dismayed by the judges’ decision.

“There’s no way Gaballo could have won that fight,” said Marquez. “In the worst-case scenario, you could have maybe given him three rounds. I gave him no rounds.”

“I am very happy and blessed to win this belt,” said the 24-year-old Gaballo. “I was always moving forward and controlling the pace, so I thought it was a close fight that either of us could have won.

“I’m waiting for my team to tell me what they have planned for me next. I’m going to keep training hard so I’m always ready for the opportunity when it comes.”

“It was a good fight, but he only won about two or three rounds,” said Rodriguez. “There were two punches from me for every punch he landed. He knows he lost. Everyone knows we won. My team told me to go out and keep boxing him in the late rounds. We knew he needed a knockout in the twelfth round. That was his only chance to win.”

Sa co-pangunahing kaganapan, Philadelphia’s undefeated welterweight sensation Jaron Ennis (26-0, 24 Kos) saw his impressive 16-fight knockout streak come to a disappointing end after an accidental headbutt in the first round caused a brutal cut to the forehead of his opponent, Chris van Heerden (28-2-1, 12 Kos). Watch the clash of heads DITO: https://twitter.com/ShowtimeBoxing/status/1340495823474442240

With only two minutes and thirty-nine seconds inside the ring to showcase his skills, Ennis was still able to flash glimpses of his championship potential as he landed 22 ng 57 Punches, 19 of them power shots as he appeared destined to stop the South African van Heerden and keep his KO streak alive before the clash of heads.

“Before the headbutt I had already cut him and I felt strong,” said a disappointed Ennis. “I knew he was ready to go. I feel like I’m getting better and better. Now I’ll just get back in the gym. As you could see from the first round, I was handling him easily. I feel like everyone is still sleeping on me, but I’m ready for anyone. Bring on the big names.”

In the telecast opener, bantamweight contender Gary Antonio Russell (18-0, 12 Kos) kept his unblemished record intact with a technical decision victory over former world champion Juan Carlos payano (21-5, 9 Kos). After an accidental headbutt caused a bad cut to the left brow of Payano, referee David Fields stopped the fight after the sixth round at the advice of the ringside physician. The fight went to the scorecards, where Russell led on all three cards (58-56, 59-55, 59-55).

Bago ang pinsala, Russell and Payano were engaged in a scrappy brawl that saw multiple exchanges of power punches. In the closing seconds of the sixth, and ultimately final round, Russell caught Payano with a counter-shot that hurt Payano. Russell landed 86 ng 243 punches while Payano landed just 58 ng 268 Punches. Russell flashed excellent body work throughout the fight, out landing Payano 40 sa 17 on body shots.

In SHOWTIME BOXING Prelims action that streamed live on the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel at Page showtime Boxing Facebook, highly regarded 21-year-old prospect Brandun Lee (21-0, 19 Kos) extended his knockout streak to 13 with a third-round stoppage of Dakota Linger (12-5-2, 8 Kos) and Benjamin Whitaker (15-4, 3 Kos) scored a majority decision victory (76-76, 77-75, 79-73) over previously unbeaten prospect Zsolt Daranyi (15-1, 14 Kos).

“I think it’s inevitable,” – Logan Paul on potential fight against his brother, Jake

Watch Full FOOD TRUCK DIARIES InterviewDITO

ANO: YouTube sensation turned professional boxer Logan Paul joins this week’sFOOD TRUCK DIARIES, a segment under SHOWTIME Sports’ digital talk show and podcast seriesBELOW THE BELT WITH BRENDAN SCHAUBto preview his highly touted February 2021 boxing exhibition against all-time great Floyd Mayweather.

Paul details to Schaub how the Mayweather bout came to fruition, explains where his love and passion for boxing came from and speculates on a potential clash with his brother and fellow pro boxer Jake Paul, who scored a viral sensation over former NBA star Nate Robinson last month.

Following are excerpts from the episode:

On how the fight with Floyd Mayweather came about…

Paul – “I signed [the contract] and then after just months and months going back and forth, figuring out dates – we had three different dates – and how to announce it and just the strategy behind it. It finally came to fruition and this event that supersedes everything I’ve ever done in my life, finally solidified.”

On his boxing skills and last fight against KSI…

Paul – “I think we surprise a lot of people. It’s what I’ve done my whole life. I’ve just exceeded expectations and I don’t think there’s anything online that’s representative of how good I am or the level at which I’m operating at this point in my life when it comes to boxing. I think my last fight wasn’t indicative in the slightest. I remember after it happened, kapatid, the bell rang at the sixth round and I had half a tank left…Something just didn’t click that day…A year later, after an ‘L’, you secure a fight with the biggest fighter on the planet. It never really felt like a loss.”

On the rules of the Mayweather bout…

Paul – “I don’t think there’s a weight as of now. If they make me drop weight I’ll be pissed. I’ll make a thing about it. I’ll f***ing complain about it and sh*t. That’s the thing, karapatan? The greatest boxer of all time faces the young behemoth. I’m going in there and I’m towering over this dude and that’s what makes it exciting. It’s David vs. Goliath.”

On a potential fight with his brother, Jake…

Paul – “My dad does not want us to do that. If you want my opinion, I think it’s inevitable. I think Jake and I in two to four years’ time are going to be beating the sh*t out of each other in a ring and I think it’ll be one of the most historical sporting events to take place ever.”

BELOW THE BELT explores the intersection of combat sports and pop culture through the eyes of former fighter, comedian and red carpet host Brendan Schaub. The program discusses the latest news in combat sports and pop culture, with Schaub delivering candid thoughts in his unique and unfiltered style.

Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz No longer best kept secret after Tyson-Jones, JR. PPV show performance

Mag-iwan ng komento

WORCESTER, Masa. (Disyembre 14, 2020) – Prior to his sensational performance on the recent Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, JR. pay-per-view event, undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz was boxing’s best kept secret. No more, kahit na, as Ortiz firmly established himself as a rising star in front of countless fans among the 1.6 million PPV buys.

Ortiz flew from Boston to Los Angeles on Thanksgiving. He was driven to his hotel, where he immediately saw Jones, checked his weight, and walked to Staples Center. “I was comfortable from the start,” said the young fighter who was fighting for the first time as a professional outside of New England. “I was there to get the job done. I was on a mission. I walk to see the Staples Center and that was cool. I later took my run around the Staples Center and there were a lot of statues. It was beautiful. It was cool seeing the Lakers locker-room.”

The 24-year-old Ortiz (14-0, 8 Kos), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, knocked outSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 Kos) with a bruising body attack, hurting his opponent in the sixth round, and closing the show in spectacular fashion in the seventh for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (U.S) Silver lightweight title. Segawa had never been stopped before as a professional.

Ortiz displayed his overall arsenal: stiff jab, lightning quick hands and feet, switching back and forth effortlessly from orthodox to southpaw stances, punishing hooks up and down, and the most lethal body shots seen from a New Englander since“Irish” Micky Ward.   

“I was calm and cool before the fight,” Ortiz added. “I like to go into a fight, sa pag-iisip, like it was a sparring session and I always do good. I started out in an orthodox stance, established my jab and used it a lot. I think I should have used it more and could have beaten him with it. I listened to my coach (Rocky Gonzalez) and he told me when to switch. Body punching is the No. 1 thing with Rocky. I may not have shown it nearly as much in other fights, but he drills that into me all the time. In the sixth round, he told me to go more to the body, not looking to catch him, and in the seventh I really hurt him to the body.

“Segawa was definitely tough. He had beaten a lot of guys, including a few he upset. Every fight is a stepping-stone and I’m my worst critic. I felt that I could have knocked him out in the second round, but I didn’t want to go off the game plan

Ortiz set-up Segawa from the opening bell, sinira sa kanya pababa, and finished the show in grand style as Seqawa was hurt and trapped on the ropes, drawing kudos from highly respected people in the industry such as“Sugar” Ray Leonard, Teddy Atlas, and others. Ortiz’ fanbase grew exponentially as boxing fans rushed to sign up to follow Jamaine during and after his breakout fight.

“Once people saw me perform and my style,” Ortiz continued, “they liked me. I could have shown more and thrown more combinations. I really needed to fight in front of the world. I got 5,500 new Instagram flowers that night. I guess, I’m no longer the best kept secret in boxing.”

“Our main goal is to win a world title,” Gonzalez commented. “This was fun and a great opportunity, but the motivation to be world champion is stronger. He dealt with this fight as just another fight, and he followed our game plan.

“His body shots set up the ending. I’m always telling him about Micky Ward’s body shots. You know, boxing is a dance, a salsa. Boxers need to dance; I don’t think they should just be orthodox. They all need to fight the other way and when Jamaine switched stances in the third, he never let up. I’ve trained him hard. I’m always on him and what better way to shut me up than ending it like he did on pay per view?  It was a drop the microphone moment!"

Ortiz is promoted byJimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports) and advised byRichard Shappy atEddie Imondi. 

Because of the uncertainty in boxing due to the pandemic, Ortiz’ 2021 schedule is unknown, but he isn’t boxing’s best kept secret anymore, “The Technician” is a bonafide rising star.
