Bealtaine 15, 2021 FNU47 Leave a comment

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Bealtaine 12, 2021) — The Boxing Task Force (BTF) announced today the 49 quota places, originally to be awarded at the Road to Tokyo Americas Qualifier, that were awarded to boxers to compete in the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 this summer. The quota places included six Team USA boxers, which was based off the BTF Rankings.

“These six boxers have been staples within our program and have established themselves amongst the world’s best by their performances during the past quad,” stated USA Boxing High Performance DirectorMatt Johnson. “Now it is time for them to perform at the world’s biggest stage in Tokyo.”

Representing Team USA at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, pending United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee approval, BeidhRashida Ellis (lynn, Aifreann.) Virginia Fuchs(Houston, Texas), Naomi Graham (Fayetteville, N.C.), Delante Johnson (Cleveland, Ohio), Oshae Jones (Toledo, Ohio) agusRichard Torrez Jr. (Tulare, Calif.). All six boxers will be competing in their first Olympic Games.

2019 Elite Women’s World Championships bronze medalist Ellis will compete in the women’s lightweight (132 lbs./60 kg) roinn. Ellis won bronze at the 2019 Pan American Games to add to her BTF rankings to solidify her position in Tokyo as the second highest ranked America’s boxer and 12^ú overall in her weight class. Ellis will be looking to win Team USA’s first women’s lightweight Olympic medal.

“Qualifying for the Olympics has been one of my deepest dreams,” mentioned Ellis. “I never doubt my ability. I have stopped being afraid of what could go wrong and start being excited about what could go right. Mar sin,, I embrace my mistakes and learn from them, as my mistakes have helped me improve and reach the Olympics. I don’t do easy; I make things happen. The hard work and dedication with effort and determination, I can succeed.”

Fuchs will represent Team USA in the flyweight division (112 lbs./51 kg). The 33-year-old will be looking to earn USA Boxing its second medal in the women’s flyweight division since the introduction of the event in London 2012. Fuchs brings an impressive resume to the ring, including a bronze medal at the 2018 Elite Women’s World Championships and silver medal from the 2019 Pan Cluichí Mheiriceá, which places her as the second highest America’s flyweight boxer and 16^ú overall in the BTF rankings.

“I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time. I am so excited I can finally call myself an Olympian,” stated Fuchs. “With all this world has been through and having to postpone the Olympics a whole year, I am proud to say I am one of the participants in what will be known as the most recognized Olympics in history. I am ready to represent my country in the most respected way and bring home the gold!"

2019 Pan American Games Graham is the highest seeded America’s female middleweight (165 lbs./75 kg) boxer in the BTF rankings, where she currently sits eighth overall. Graham earned points from her Pan American Games title, as well as her third-place finish at the 2018 Elite Women’s World Championships and top five finish at the 2019 edition. Graham, who will become USA Boxing’s first active female military member to compete in an Olympic Games, will be in contention to grab Team USA’s third straight Olympic gold medal in the women’s middleweight division.

“It feels unreal that I am going to the Olympics,” Graham stated when talking about earning her place to Tokyo. “I continue to surprise myself by finding my own limits, and then having the courage to blow past them.”

Joneswill step into the ring in one of the two newly added women’s weight classes, an welterweight (152 lbs./69 kg) roinn. Jones, who made history in 2019 with her gold medal performance at the Pan American Games, will look to continue making history by becoming the first Olympic gold medalists in her weight division. The 23-year-old added valuable points to her rankings with her top five placement at the 2019 Elite Women’s World Championships to finish as the top America’s boxer and seventh in the overall BTF rankings for the welterweight division to punch her ticket to the Olympics.

“I may only take up one spot, but my one spot represents so much,” shared Jones. “I’m beyond grateful for the chance to represent women, African Americans, my small city of Toledo, ach níos tábhachtaí fós, my country.”

The second Ohioan to represent Team USA, Johnson, extends the streak of Cleveland-native boxing Olympians to four, following in the footsteps of Charles Conwell (2016), Terrell Gausha (2012) and Raynell Williams (2008). The welterweight (152 lbs./69 kg), who first caught the attention of the boxing world with his gold medal performance at the 2016 Youth World Championships, earned his ranking points through his bronze medal finish at the 2019 Pan American Games and top 16 placement at the 2019 Elite World Championships. Johnson was the third highest seeded America’s boxer and 19^ú overall.

“My struggles are my stripes, and I wear them on my back, so that the people around me can see that even when you’re living in a jungle, you can still chase your dreams,” stated Johnson. “I am not only doing this for my city, but for my two coaches, Dante Benjamin Sr. and Clint Martin, whom I lost during my journey to these Games.”

Torrez, the highest ranked super heavyweight (201+ lbs./91+ kg) boxer from the Americas and 11^ú tríd is tríd, earned his place through his third-place performance at the 2019 Pan American Games and top five standing at that year’s Elite Men’s World Championships. Torrez, a former Youth World Championships bronze medalist, will be the first American boxer to compete in this weight class since 2012.

“Everyone is happy they’re going to the Olympics, it’s everyone’s dream, but I need to be there,” said Torrez. “The fire that was instilled in me before I could even walk, that drives me to be the best, the fire that has been in my family for generations, has overflowed. It has set ablaze all my second options, and it has made ashes of any other possibility besides that of success.”

Team USA will be guided by USA Boxing National Head Coach Billy Walsh during these Olympic Games.

“It is fantastic news for our six boxers who have worked endlessly for the past five years to become an Olympian,” Walsh shared. “We now focus on the next stage of the process, to become an Olympic Champion.”

The boxing competition will begin on Saturday, Iúil 24^ú (JST). Continue to checkusaboxing.org and USA Boxing’s social media platforms to stay updated on more information regarding the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

Kicking off the telecast, iar domhain curadh **Angelo Leo** returns to take on Mexican contender **Aaron Alameda** i 10-bhabhta bout bantamweight Super.

Charlo has established himself as a force in two divisions and will seek to thrill his hometown crowd against Mexico’s Montiel, in a first-of-its-kind Juneteenth Day boxing celebration. Charlo will fight in Houston for the fourth time as a pro and look to keep his undefeated record intact against the upset-minded Montiel.

The event is promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions. Tickets for the live event go on sale tomorrow, Déardaoin, Bealtaine 13 ag 12 p.m. CT and can be purchased attoyotacenter.com. Leo vs. Alameda is promoted in association with Mayweather Promotions.

CHARLO (31-0, 22 Kos) will return to fight in his hometown for the first time since a June 2019 unanimous decision victory over Brandon Adams on SHOWTIME. The 30-year-old most recently scored an impressive victory over top middleweight contender Sergey Derevyanchenko in their September 2020 showdown. Charlo has held the WBC middleweight belt since 2019, after a championship reign at 154-pounds that lasted from 2015 trí 2017. He has compiled a perfect 6-0 record since moving up to middleweight and owns victories over former champions Julian Williams, Austin Trout and Cornelius Bundrage at super welterweight.

“It’s great to be back in the ring, headlining on SHOWTIME and defending my title in front of my hometown fans in Houston,” said Charlo. “Fighting on Juneteenth means a lot to me because there is a battle going on far greater than this. É sin ráite, I have to handle my business on June 19. Montiel is a tough, óg, power puncher. I know he wants my crown, but I’m hungrier than ever and ready to put on a show for my fans. Get ready for a special, explosive night.”

Representing his native Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, Montiel (22-4-2, 22 Kos) has earned knockouts in all 22 of his pro victories, as the heavy-handed brawler established himself as a hard-hitting force. The 27-year-old has put together an unbeaten streak since moving up to middleweight, first competing at the weight in September 2017, and most recently scoring a first-round knockout victory over longtime contender James Kirkland in December 2020. He owns stoppages of Marco Reyes and Gustavo Castro, and a draw against Hugo Centeno, Jr. ag mBoston. Montiel had previously campaigned at welterweight and super welterweight, dropping a February 2017 bout to former champion Jaime Munguia in a 147-pound fight.

“I know that I am fighting the best middleweight in the world, but he has never faced someone who can punch like I can,” said Montiel. “All my losses in the past are from not training properly and trying to win by one-punch knockout. I’ve grown up and become a man since then. I proved that I was different when I beat Marco Reyes in 2019, and I haven’t left the gym since then. I’ve worked hard every day to become world champion and I will display everything I’ve learned on June 19.”

The 22-year-old Cruz (21-1-1, 15 Kos) shot up the lightweight rankings in 2020, announcing his presence with an electrifying first-round knockout over veteran Diego Magdaleno in September. Cruz followed that up this March, when he won a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Matias Romero. Since making his U.S. debut on the undercard of Jermall Charlo vs. Dennis Hogan in December 2019, the Mexico City-native has been unbeaten in his four ring appearances. This will mark his fifth fight in 20 mhí, the last four of which will have come on SHOWTIME, including headlining *ShoBox: The Next Generation* i mí Feabhra 2020.

“Me and Vargas are going to show the fans true Mexican-style boxing on June 19,” said Cruz. “He is also from Mexico City, so I know this fight will be toe-to-toe. It’s my time to show the fans that I’m the best Mexican lightweight in the world. In with the new, and out with the old. I want to thank my promoter, Senator Manny Pacquiao, for his support and belief that I will become world champion very soon.”

Also a native of Mexico City, Vargas (27-2-2, 19 Kos) won a 130-pound title in 2015 by defeating Takashi Miura in one of the year’s best fights. The 36-year-old would go on to fight Orlando Salido to an action-packed draw before losing his title to Miguel Berchelt in another memorable affair. Vargas went on to defeat Stephen Smith and Rod Salka before losing in his rematch with Berchelt in 2019. An chuid is mó le déanaí, Vargas began campaigning at lightweight, scoring back-to-back victories with a technical decision over Ezequiel Aviles in October 2019 and a TKO over Otto Gamez in November 2020.

“I only know how to fight wars and the fans should expect nothing less on June 19,” said Vargas. “I am a warrior, and people are going to remember the reasons why I was in two Fight of the Year battles when they see me in the ring with Isaac Cruz. I want to thank my whole team for putting together this fight that I know the fans will enjoy.”

Lion (20-1, 9 Kos), who fights out of the Mayweather Promotions stable, became the first world champion from his hometown of Albuquerque, N.M., since legendary three-division champion Johnny Tapia, when he defeated Tramaine Williams by unanimous decision in August 2020. The 26-year-old dropped the belt when he lost a decision to unbeaten Stephen Fulton Jr. in January on SHOWTIME. Lion, who trains in Las Vegas, will look to re-establish his position in the stacked 122-pound division on June 19.

“I’m excited to get back in the ring for this fight,” said Leo. “I wasn’t the same fighter in my last fight, as I was when I won the title. That’s given me a big chip on my shoulder. I figured out my mistakes and learned a lot about myself. I’m here to show people that I’m still a top contender and a threat in this division. Alameda is a real contender and he’s not an opponent I’m taking lightly. Whoever comes out on top in this fight will be right there for another title shot and I plan on that being me.”

The 27-year-old Aaron Alameda (25-1, 13 Kos) was able to stop Luis Nery’s knockout streak but came up on the short end of the decision in their super bantamweight title fight last September. Prior to the Nery fight, the Sonora, Mexico native had back-to-back knockouts over Jordan Escobar and Breilor Teran. A pro ó 2014, his previous action in the U.S. saw him earn a sixth-round knockout over Andre Wilson in 2016.

“I can’t wait for another big fight on June 19,” said Alameda. “I showed that I belong with the best in my last fight against Luis Nery, and I will be even better against Leo. My goal is to become world champion and I plan on displaying everything I’ve worked on in this fight. I’m excited to battle Leo and give the fans a great show.”

Mayweather, who was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame’s Class of 2020, Tá foirfe 50-0 taifead le 27 knockouts. He racked up 12 world titles in five weight divisions during his illustrious career that spanned three decades. His brilliant boxing resume includes 24 wins over world champions, including Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez. Le linn a ghairm bheatha, he was named the world’s highest paid athlete multiple times by *Forbes, Fhortún* agus *Spóirt léirithe*. Mayweather has accumulated numerous “Fighter of the Year” awards, lena n-áirítear cúig Gradaim ESPY agus dhá Cumann Scríbhneoirí Dornálaíochta dámhachtainí Mheiriceá. His 2015 showdown with Pacquiao shattered the all-time pay-per-view television record with 4.6 million buys, a record that still stands. Mayweather last fought in a boxing exhibition on New Year’s Eve 2018 sa tSeapáin. His last professional boxing match was his 2017 stoppage win over Conor McGregor, the second biggest pay-per-view event in television history.

As Mayweather dominated boxing en route to a perfect professional record and international stardom, Paul rose to fame on the internet. Paul, 26, welcomed the world into his life on various social media platforms including YouTube, where he has amassed more than 20 million subscribers. His legions of devoted fans supported him as he stepped into professional boxing in 2019 and sold out the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in his six-round debut against fellow YouTube star KSI.

Pascal (35-6-1, 20 Kos) earned a narrow split-decision victory over Jack in their December 2019 title showdown that saw both men hit the canvas. Prior to that fight, Pascal captured his interim title by handing Marcus Browne the first defeat of his professional career. Pascal scored four knockdowns in that fight, eventually earning a close technical decision when a cut suffered by Browne on an accidental head butt stopped the fight after eight rounds. The 38-year-old has been in the ring with the top fighters of his era during his brilliant career, including Bernard Hopkins, Sergey Kovalev, Carl Froch, Lucian Bute, and Chad Dawson. Pascal, who was born in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti and now lives in Laval, Québec, won his first light heavyweight world title with a unanimous decision over Adrian Diaconu in 2009.

Jack (22-3-3, 13 Kos) will look to avenge the razor-thin defeat he suffered to Pascal in their first match. Jack mounted an impressive rally on the scorecards that nearly turned the match in his favor. Born in Stockholm, Jack (who represented his father’s home country of Gambia in the 2008 Cluichí Oilimpeacha) now lives in Las Vegas. Jack won the 168-pound world title with a majority decision against Anthony Dirrell in 2015 and successfully defended the belt three times before being handed a hard-fought majority draw against James DeGale in one of 2017’s best fights. In his first bout at 175 punt, Jack stopped Nathan Cleverly to pick up the WBA light heavyweight title before fighting to a majority draw against then WBC champion Adonis Stevenson in May 2018. Ina turas is déanaí, Jack won a unanimous decision over Blake McKernan in November 2020.

The 30-year-old Hurd (24-1, 16 Kos) unified the WBA and IBF 154-pound titles in 2018, dropping longtime champion Erislandy Lara in the final round to win a close decision in a fight that was the unanimous 2018 An comhrac na Bliana. The Accokeek, Maryland native lost the titles in one of 2019’s best fights, dropping a decision to Julian Williams. Hurd first became champion in February 2017 when he stopped former champion Tony Harrison in the ninth round, before going on to defend the title against another former champion in Austin Trout. An chuid is mó le déanaí, Hurd scored a unanimous decision victory over Francisco Santana in January 2020.

Born in Milwaukee, Arias (18-2-1, 9 Kos) will return to the ring for the first time since August 2019 when he takes on Hurd on June 6. The 30-year-old has faced some of the best in the middleweight division, including going the distance with former middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs in a 2017 duel. Arias racked up wins in his first 18 pro fights after turning pro in 2012 and is now training in Las Vegas as he prepares for this fight.

Nery vs. Figueroa will see the powerful two-division champion Nery pursue a signature win at super bantamweight, while the rising Figueroa looks to use his all-action style to earn a career-best victory and announce his presence amongst the sport’s elite. The winner of this fight will be in line to face WBO 122-pound champion Stephen Fulton later this year in a unification showdown.

TGB Promotions a chuireann an ócáid chun cinn. Martinez vs. Burgos is promoted in association with Mayweather Promotions.

“The super bantamweight division is one of boxing’s most intriguing, and this showdown between Nery and Figueroa will be a huge step towards declaring the king of the weight class,"A dúirt Tom Brown, Uachtarán na Tionscnaimh TGB. “These two undefeated 122-pound champions will leave it all in the ring in front of the passionate Southern California fight fans on May 15. With two Mexican-warriors going toe-to-toe, this is a main event that you won’t want to miss a second of.”

Tá ticéid ar díol anois agus is féidir iad a cheannach ag AXS.com. Beidh Páirc Spóirt Sláinte Dínit oscailte do lucht leanúna i gcáil teoranta, agus na haíonna ar fad fós i bhfad i gcéin agus faoi réir treoirlínte sláinte áitiúla agus stáit le linn na hócáide.

An Tijuana, Mexico native Nery (31-0, 24 Kos) became a two-division world champion in September as he won a wide unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Aaron Alameda to capture his WBC crown. The 26-year-old had held an 11-fight knockout streak entering that 122-pound title fight, establishing himself as a premier knockout artist at bantamweight during a run that included stoppages of former champions McJoe Arroyo and Juan Carlos Payano. Nery first became champion in 2017, when he went to Japan and stopped Shinsuke Yamanaka in his home country to capture the WBC bantamweight world title.

“This is one of the biggest fights of my career,"A dúirt Nery. “I am going to win this fight in spectacular fashion. I’m training hard every day to make sure I get the win on May 15. This is my time to make history for Mexico.”

The 24-year-old Figueroa (21-0-1, 16 Kos) returns to the ring after his most recent outing saw him stop Damien Vazquez in round 10 of their September 2020 clash. Figueroa applied his all-action style scoring knockouts over veteran contenders Moises Flores and Oscar Escandon to move his way up the 122-pound rankings. He captured the WBA’s interim super bantamweight title by stopping Yonfrez Parejo in April 2019, before eventually being elevated to “regular” champion. Figueroa has trained for this career-defining bout in Southern California, alongside his brother and former world champion Omar Figueroa.

“Training camp out here in California with Joel Diaz has been amazing,” said Figueroa. “I’m in tremendous shape and I’ll be ready to go on May 15. This is really one of the best training camps of my career. I know Nery is a tough fighter, maybe my toughest test to date. Tá mé 24 anois, so it’s time for me to start fighting these world class fighters and prove to myself that I belong in there with the best fighters. I know Stephen Fulton is lined up for the winner of this fight, but I’m preparing 110% for Nery. I know he’s not just any fighter, so I’m doing everything I can to come away with the win on May 15.”

Ranked in the top five by all four sanctioning bodies at super bantamweight, Rómhánach (27-3-1, 10 Kos) will look to continue on his path back toward another world title when he steps in the ring on May 15. The 30-year-old from Los Angeles most recently won an exciting 12-round unanimous decision over former champion Juan Carlos Payano last September. Roman first became world champion in 2017, when he stopped Shun Kubo for the WBA title. Roman would go on to unify titles by beating TJ Doheny for his IBF strap in 2019, before losing a narrow split decision to Murodjon Akhmadaliev in January 2020.

“I’m delighted to be fighting once again and can’t wait to step into the ring May 15 ar Showtime,” said Roman. “Ricardo Espinoza is a very tough fighter with a lot of heart. I know this fight is going to be another war and I’m fully prepared to go to battle. I’ve stayed in shape since my last fight, so fans can expect to see me throw a lot of punches. I’m going to make this fight a classic Mexican showdown.”

The 23-year-old Espinoza (25-3, 21 Kos) has fought professionally since 2015 agus bhuaigh 15 de chuid caite 16 fights heading into May 15. Fighting out of Tijuana, Mexico, Espinoza dropped a bantamweight interim title fight to current world champion John Riel Casimero in 2019 via a 12^ú round knockout in a fight that was virtually tied on the cards. Espinoza bounced back with two straight victories, including his most recent triumph, a unanimous decision win over previously unbeaten Brandon Valdes last August.

“I’m training as hard as I ever have for this opportunity on May 15,” said Espinoza. “I feel strong and prepared for anything Roman is going to throw at me. I know that he’s an accomplished fighter, but I have all of the tools to be victorious and win an exciting fight that the fans are going to love.”

A Mayweather Promotions prospect from Sacramento, Calif., Martínez (15-0, 11 Kos) has trained for this fight in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 23-year-old earned a career-best victory in his last outing, defeating veteran contender Claudio Marrero by unanimous decision in October on SHOWTIME. Roimhe, Martínez added three stoppage victories to his record in 2019 to run up a seven-fight knockout streak heading into the Marrero fight.

“I’ve felt great in camp and have already been preparing hard for this opponent,” said Martinez. “My last fight was an incredible experience. The biggest thing it taught me is just because you’re winning, don’t fall asleep at the wheel. That’s the same mentality I’m taking into this fight. I proved in my last fight that I can box and can hang with the best in the sport. This is a side many haven’t seen because I’ve been decapitating my previous opponents. The world is going to see how much versatility I carry in my skill set. Bealtaine 15 is another day in the office, and it’s time to work!"

An Tijuana, Mexico native Burgos (34-4-2, 21 Kos) has faced an impressive resume of top fighters throughout his extensive career, dropping world title bouts to Mikey Garcia and Hozumi Hasegawa, in addition to a draw in a 130-pound title tilt against Roman Martinez. The 33-year-old ended up on the short end of decisions in challenges of unbeaten champion Devin Haney in 2018 and undefeated Hector Tanajara in January 2020. An chuid is mó le déanaí, he won a unanimous decision over Juan Ramon Bernal in March 2020.

“This is another opportunity for me to show that I have a lot left to give in the ring,” says Burgos. “Martínez doesn’t have a strong chin, as everyone saw when he got dropped twice by Claudio Marrero in his last fight. I’ve been training hard and waiting for an opportunity like this. Fans can expect an explosive performance on May 15.”

Michael Carbajal fós Champion

Bealtaine 5, 2021 FNU47 Leave a comment

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Bealtaine 3, 2021) - Curadh domhanda cúig huaire, Halla na Laochra agus buaiteoir bonn airgid OilimpeachaMichael Carbajal d'fhéadfadh sé a bheith ag taifeadadh na bua is fearr dá shaol ag aois 43 mar dornálaí ar scor. In ionad crios álainn nó bonn a fháil as a chuid éachtaí, Cuidíonn Carbajal anois le carachtar a thógáil do líon mór daoine óga Fhionnuisce nach bhfuil bealach eile acu le éalú ó na meánsráideanna.

Ba bhreá le Carbajal an dornálaíocht ón tús, áfach, ní raibh a chéad chluiche amaitéarach aige go dtí go raibh 14, mar gheall ar a athair, Lámhleabhar Carbajal déanach, iar-churadh Arizona Golden Gloves, ní ligfeadh sé dá mhac dul sa bhosca go dtí go raibh sé níos sine. Oíche a chéad chluiche, mheabhraigh a athair do Mhicheál rud éigin a dúirt sé nuair nach raibh sé ach sé bliana d’aois: “Beidh mé mar churaidh domhanda agus scoirfidh mé mar churadh domhanda.” Mhichíl, ar ndóigh, níor chuimhin leis cad a dúirt sé nuair nach raibh sé ach sé bliana d'aois, ach d'fhan an teachtaireacht leis ar feadh a shaoil.

“Bhí mé ag iarraidh dul sa bhosca ó bhí mé sé bliana d'aois," Mheabhraigh Carbajal. "Níor thuig mé cén fáth nach raibh mé in ann, ach dúirt m'athair liom féachaint ar agus foghlaim ó mo thaithí sa seomra aclaíochta agus ag tournaments. D'fhan mé go dtí go raibh mé 14, ag obair amach i mo chúlchlós, mar a mhúin m'athair na bunghnéithe dom. Is cuimhin liom cloisteáil faoi pháistí ag comórtais le 100, 200 troideanna amaitéaracha. Ní raibh agam ach timpeall 100 (tá a thaifead amaitéarach tuairiscithe 94-9) mar amaitéarach. Bhí mé nua sa spórt agus ghlac mo chaillteanais mar bhuaigh mar d'fhoghlaim mé ó gach troid. Is cuimhin liom fós mo chéad troid amaitéarach. Sin an áit ar thosaigh sé ar fad. chaill meCaoimhín Dáibhis. Chuaigh mé isteach sa chomórtas ina choinne gan aon troideanna agus bhí 32 aige. Chaill mé an troid sin agus bhí mé ag iarraidh troid leis arís. Bhí mé i gcónaí ag iarraidh dul i ngleic leis an chuid is fearr. Throid muid dhá uair eile ag craobhchomórtais an stáit (scoilt siad).

“Ba é an troid is suntasaí a bhí agam ag an 1986 Craobh Náisiúnta na Lámhainní Órga. Is cuimhin liom fós mo chéile comhraic (sa chluiche ceannais chraobh), Gary Harvey. Beidh cuimhne agam ar an troid sin ar feadh an chuid eile de mo shaol. Bhuaigh mé gach comórtas náisiúnta ina dhiaidh sin go dtí 1988.”

Chuaigh Carbajal isteach sa dornálaíocht ar dtús ar an gcúis chéanna atá ag go leor daoine eile le blianta fada…timpeallacht chrua. Tá sé ina chónaí fós sa La Nuevo (9^ú St.) comharsanacht. “Bhí sé uafásach anseo nuair a bhí mé 11 nó mar sin,” a mhínigh Carbajal. “Tá mé i mo chónaí anseo fós, ach níl sé chomh dona anois. Bhí lámhach agus dronganna againn trasna 3 nó 4 bloic a scar muid. Níor fhág mé riamh. Tá an oiread sin cairde agam ón am sin a raibh baint acu le drugaí agus le lámhach. Rinne mé neamhaird de gach rud mar bhí mé diongbháilte agus fonnmhar a bheith i mo chraobh domhanda. Sa lá atá inniu, daoine a raibh aithne agam orthu ar ais ansin, rá: ‘Tá tú fós a Mhícheál.’ Ba é an rud a rinne mé ná gur breá liom an dornálaíocht go mór. I 1988, Ba é Carbajal curadh sóisear amaitéarach meáchain eitilte na Stát Aontaithe, a ruaig Eric Griffin (comhchaptaen ar 1989 & 1991 Craobhchomórtais Amaitéaracha an Domhain), 5-0, i gcluiche ceannais U.S. Trialacha Oilimpeacha, agus ansin bhuaigh sé arís ag an U.S. Boscaí Lasmuigh de na Cluichí Oilimpeacha trí dhícháiliú tríú babhta i gcoinne James Harris.

Thaistil Carbajal go Seoul, An Chóiré Theas mar bhall den 1988 Foireann Dornálaíochta Oilimpeacha SAM. Sa bhabhta oscailt, sé edged baile dúchais is fearr leatKwang-Soo OIh, 3-2, is dócha gur tháinig sé ar ais chun tathant a dhéanamh air sa chluiche bonn óir in aghaidh na BulgáireIvailo Khristov, inar chaill Carbajal, 5-0, sa mhéid a líomhnaítear a bhí ann de bharr scórála claonta.

Díbríodh Carbajal i mbabhtaí a dó agus a cúig agus d'fhulaing sé de bharr mala ceart fuilteach, go dtí gur dhíluchtaigh sé smack ceart cumhachtach ar smig Gonzalez. Ní raibh Gonzalez in ann an comhaireamh a bhualadh, Tháinig Carbajal mar churadh domhanda aontaithe sa mhéid a ainmníodh níos déanaí 1993 Troid na Bliana leis an iris The Ring.

Chuaigh mé go dtí an coláiste ar feadh dhá bhliain, ach bhí mé ró-ghnóthach le troid. Bhí foighne dochreidte agam i gcónaí, murab ionann agus roinnt oiliúnóirí agus bainisteoirí eile, atá ag iarraidh buck tapa a dhéanamh. Má tá siad (páistí) fanacht sa seomra aclaíochta - ní fiú troid - beidh siad ag foghlaim. Baineann sé go léir le páistí ag fanacht amach ar na sráideanna. Níl sé chomh dona anseo agus a bhí sé roimhe seo agus tá sé iontach a bheith ag cabhrú leis na páistí seo. Tagann cuid acu anseo chun bosca, daoine eile go díreach workout, agus is maith sin ar fad. Níl aon deifir orm a bheith (traein) curadh domhanda, fiú más é sin mo sprioc, agus dírím ar am a thabhairt dóibh tuiscint a fháil.”

Téann roinnt daoine ann ar chúiseanna nach bhfuil baint acu le dornálaíocht nó oibriú amach. Téann siad ann má tá cabhair ag teastáil uathu, díreach faoi aon chineál.

“Cuirim i gcuimhne do na páistí cad a chuaigh muid tríd (sa chomharsanacht seo) agus seachanta,” Dúirt Carbajal mar fhocal scoir. “Is as comharsanachtaí mar seo a thagann formhór na trodaithe. Ní bhaineann sé le buachan nó cailliúint, cé gur mhaith linn i gcónaí a bhuachan, is faoin saol é. Cuirimid oiliúint ar aon duine a thagann sa seomra aclaíochta. Foghlaimíonn siad smacht agus cabhraíonn sé sin le linn a saoil. Múinimid meas a thabhairt do dhaoine eile. Is sean scoil mé. Níl aerchóiriú againn sa seomra aclaíochta. Faigheann sé tú i riocht iontach. Hey, Chuir mé oiliúint ar sheid stáin i mo chúlchlós, a bhí 15 céimeanna níos teo ná lasmuigh (cuimhnigh gurb é seo an Fhionnuisce sna 120idí). Is breá liom é.

“Is maith liom a bheith ag cabhrú, ní hamháin go dtí an bosca, ach a bheith go maith ar feadh a saoil. Cabhróidh an smacht a fhoghlaimíonn siad anseo. Táimid ag tógáil orthu ar feadh an tsaoil.”

D’fhéadfaí a mhaíomh gurb é an meáchan eitilte sóisearach is mó riamh, Tá Michael Carbajal fós ag buachan!

Team Ortiz moves on from disputed draw Feeling Confident Undefeated Lightweight Jamaine Ortiz Made Loud Statement

Bealtaine 5, 2021 FNU47 Leave a comment

WORCESTER, Aifreann. (Aibreán 29, 2021) – Despite a disputed draw with unbeatenJoseph “Blessed Hands” Adorno (14-0-2, 12 Kos) last Saturday night in Kissimmee, Florida, lightweight prospectJamaine "An Teicneoir" Ortiz (14-0-1, 8 Kos) displayed his vast skills and courage on ESPN+.

Recovering from two knockdowns (the first from an illegal punch behind the head) and still taking the fight to the promoter’s fighter, Ortiz won six of the eight rounds but, ar an drochuair, he had to settled for an 8-round majority draw with (76-74, 75-75-75) Adorno.

Ortiz, fighting out of Worcester, Massachusetts, is the reigning WBC USNBC (U.S.) Silver lightweight champion, as well as a former WBC World Youth lightweight titlist.

“I didn’t fight my fight,” Ortiz evaluated his performance. “I fought too much instead of being ‘The Technician.’ Before the fight, I thought I was the B-side fighter and wanted to please the crowd. I didn’t realize that I was on the A-side (thanks to his promoter, Jimmy Burchfield) and the betting favorite. I was fighting a Top Rank guy and felt that I had to bring the fight to him. Muscle memory, Buille faoi thuairim mé, from back in the amateurs. I was fighting on his stage, so I put pressure on him. If the fight went the distance, I wanted to make sure the scoring was clear and obvious. I knew I’d break him down because I had better stamina and skills.

“I fought him too much, but I still thought I won the fight. The 76-74 score made sense. I won every round but the second and seventh (rounds of knockdowns). I didn’t agree with the one judge who had him (Adorno) winning the sixth. He hit me behind the head in the third round and I was off balance. But the referee does his job and mine is to fight. Nothing I could do about it. The plan was to box him, going to the body, but not switch stances because it would expose me. I had to go to the body, always part of my plan, but I wasn’t ‘The Technician.’ Sometimes I switch stances without realizing it. I got clipped in the seventh round (uppercut that resulted in a standing 8 count) when I was switching for first time. I handled it like a pro. I got up and felt good. I survived the round by holding a few times and then I came back again.”

Burchfield, head of Classic Sports and Entertainment (POF), knows Ortiz showed that he’s somebody lightweights will have to reckon with in the immediate future.

“Jamaine’s stock went up for the second fight in a row (last November he registered a sensational stoppage ofSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 Kos), who had never been previously stopped, in seventh-round on the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-event),” Burchfield added. “Adorno is an animal when he’s in control of a fight. Jamaine had to take control of the fight by being the aggressor but, as ‘The Technician, knowing when to fight and when to box. The punch in the second round was, cinnte, behind the head, clearly a foul, and it was more of a slip than a knockdown because he was off balance. If that punch was disallowed, Jamaine wins the fight, even if he had lost the round. He (Emil Lombardi) is a quality ref who made a mistake. Maybe he didn’t catch it because of the angle he had, which is why I’m a firm believer in instant replay, and It would have been ruled a non-knockdown.

“Going into the seventh, I thought Jamaine led by 2-3 points having taken five of the previous six rounds. Jamaine showed the world his endurance when he came back so strong in the eighth round. If the fight had been 10-round, or even 30-sconds longer, no disrespect to Adorno, Jamaine would have knocked him out. Jamaine is the real deal. He certainly proved he’s TV friendly after his last two fights and he deserves to be mentioned among the top 135-pounders in the world. Any takers?"

Ortiz’ manager, Dick Shappy, had mixed emotions after the fight, understanding that Ortiz raised the bar, even though he fought to a draw.

“I wish he had won,” Shappy remarked, “but a draw wasn’t too bad under the circumstances. I though Jamaine won the fight outright. If not for that illegal punch in the second, he won the fight on their scorecards. It still shouldn’t have been ruled a knockdown, more of a slip, because he was going forward and lost balance. It never should have been 10-8. Adorno would have lost if they had to go into the championship rounds. Jamaine was more skilled, he did a good job.”

Count no less than former Olympic gold medalist and 2-division World ChampionAndre Ward, who served as color commentator for Ortiz-Adorno, among those impressed by Ortiz.

“Ortiz outworked Adorno, aon amhras, and he never backed down,” Ward commented on air. “I want to see more of Ortiz!'

As entertaining as Ortiz-Adorno was – it may have stolen the entire show – it’s unlikely that there will be a rematch.

“I don’t think he wants to fight me again,” Ortiz reported. “He said something about maybe when we both have world title belts.”

Ortiz has taken advantage of the tremendous opportunities for worldwide exposure in his last two fights. His reward will certainly come, in time, moving up the ratings as people continue jumping on “The Technician” bandwagon.
