Alexander “Der große” Flores driven to conquer Luis “King Kong” Ortiz

LAS VEGAS (Oktober 27, 2020) – California heavyweight Alexander “Der große” Blumen (18-2-1, 16 KOs), whose only pro losses have been to world champions, will have the opportunity of his boxing career on November 7th, when he takes on 2-time world title challenger Luis “King Kong” Ortiz (26 KOs).

King Kong vs. Alexander The Great will air live on FOX television, ab 8:00 p.m. UND / 5:30 p.m. PT, in the 10-round main event on the Premier Boxing Champions card from Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles.

Ortiz is a 2-time world title challenger who has a lot of experience,” Flores sagte. “Ich bin jung, hungrig, driven and determined to win. Beating Ortiz is a life-changing opportunity that I won’t be taking for granted.

Ortiz is a great fighter,” Blumen’ Promoter Keith Veltre (RJJ Boxing CEO/co-founder) zusätzlich, “but I think he may regret fighting a hungry lion like Flores. Fighting the elite of the heavyweight division has never been a problem for Alexander, whose only two losses have been to world champions. He gained invaluable experience in those fights that he’ll take into the ring against Oritz. We’d like to thank Team Ortiz, PBC and FOX for this tremendous opportunity.

The 30-year-old Flores, fighting out of Roland Heights (SOWIE), lost in 2014 to world champions Charles Martin und Joseph Parker four years later Flores captured the World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World heavyweight title in 2012 with a fifth-round stoppage of Joey Montoya.

Cuba-born Ortiz, der in Miami lebt, has lost only twice, both times to world champion Deontay Wilder. Ortiz, a 41-year-old southpaw, has defeated a litany of world-class heavyweights during his 10 ½ year pro career, including Christian Hammer, Travis Kaufman, Malik Scott, Tony Thompson, Bryan Jennings, Monte Barrett, Lateef Kayode and Epifanio Mendoza. Als Amateur, Ortiz had a reported 349-19 Rekord, and he captured a gold medal at the 2006 Cuban National Championships.

Boxing a family affair for Idaho amateur boxer Kendra Samargis

COLORADO SPRINGS, Runde. (Oktober 26, 2020) – Idaho middleweight boxer Kendra (Reeves) Samargisdecision four years ago to lose weight has led her onto a path to compete in the 2020 USA Boxing National Championships, Dezember 5-12, im Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Boxen für den 26-jährigen Samargis, der in Twin Falls lebt, ist eine echte Familienangelegenheit. Sie wurde von ihrem Ehemann ausgebildet, Jason, und ihre beiden Söhne, Skyler Bellus (11) und Riley Marovich (8), sind in den USA Boxen. Skyler, tatsächlich, hat an mehreren Turnieren teilgenommen, an denen auch seine Mutter teilgenommen hat.

“Ich fing an zu boxen, nur als eine Form des Gewichtsverlusts,” Erklärte Kendra. “Mein Mann war seit vielen Jahren Boxtrainer und hatte immer noch seine gesamte Ausrüstung. Wir stellten es in unserer Garage auf und begannen mit dem Training. Zuerst, Anfangen war das Schlimmste, was ich jemals getan hatte. Die Menge an Ausdauer, Ausdauer, und Stärke, die ich haben musste, war unwirklich. Mit der Zeit verlor ich langsam enormes Gewicht, 73-Pfund um genau zu sein, und ich habe den Sport geliebt.

I’m always asked what it’s like to be trained by my husband. I always say I have a secret weapon, someone who is in my corner who wants me to succeed just as much as I do and supports me throughout. Auch, in times we’re at tournaments, I am never alone the night before a big fight and if I need a pep talk, he is right there. Jetzt, my sons competing with me, bien sur, that’s a different story. Being on the outside of the ring while my boys are competing is by far harder than any fight I have ever had. My mom-side definitely kicks in. Am Ende des Tages, obwohl, I know how well trained they are, and I have to trust that. I don’t work their corners because that’s too close. I would throw in the towel every time. I have to be in the stands.

Kendra und ihre beiden Söhne werden dieses Jahr in Shreveport antreten, obwohl sie während der COVID-19-Pandemie trainieren mussten, um sich auf das erste nationale Turnier des Jahres in den USA vorzubereiten.

“Das Training während der Pandemie war für mich ein Segen,” Sagte Kendra. “Wir besitzen jetzt ein Fitnessstudio in der Stadt. So, Während der Zeit mussten wir unsere Türen schließen, Mein Ehemann, Kinder und ich konnten mit unserem Trainingsprogramm Schritt halten. Ich habe in dieser Zeit so viel gelernt. Wir konnten tatsächlich die Dinge verlangsamen und an so vielen Dingen arbeiten, die übersehen werden. Wir haben auch großes Glück, in einer kleinen Stadt zu leben, Wir mussten unser Fitnessstudio nur zwei Monate lang geschlossen halten und sind seitdem in Betrieb. Ich konnte mir nur vorstellen, wie schwer es in diesen Zeiten für so viele Menschen sein muss. We were very blessed to have a gym to get us through.

Derzeit auf Platz Nr. 10 bei 152 pounds and No. 5 bei 165, Kendra’s highlights thus far are winning gold medals at the 2019 Eastern Elite Qualifier und 2018 National Golden Gloves Turnier.

An aggressive boxer who throws punches in bunches, Samargis believes she’s made dramatic improvement in the past years. She admittedly changed many different parts of her game, focusing more on movement, foot and head placements.

Schließlich, she wants to capture top honors at multiple national tournaments, starting with this year’s Nationals Championship, and eventually turn pro to shoot for a world title. Zur Zeit, obwohl, she’s all in for the Nationals.

I am my biggest competition for this year’s National Championships,” she concluded. “Every day I want to be the best version of myself and every day I wake up to the haunting possibility I could fall back into the person that I used to be. I have to go to war everyday with myself to keep this person at bay. All of the hours of training, nutrition and mental preparation helps me accomplish this. Every day I can continue to be the best version of myself, focusing only on getting better, then who I compete against won’t matter.

I am beyond ready and excited for the National Championships this year. With the world coming to a halt this will be my first tournament of the year. I am ready to get back in the ring. Medaling will give me another national title under my belt and sharpen my resume for when I turn pro.

SERGEY LIPINETS: “WE NEVER MISSED A BEAT IN PREPARATION, EVEN WITH OPPONENT CHANGE”

Former World Champion Lipinets Battles Unbeaten
Custio Clayton for Interim IBF Welterweight Title
Live auf Showtime® Samstag, Oktober 24 Headlining a
Premier Boxing Champions Event

NEW YORK (Oktober 20, 2020) – Even with a change in date and then opponent, Ex-Weltmeister Sergey Lipinets remains supremely confident in his training camp and overall preparations as he prepares to take on unbeaten Custio Clayton for the Interim IBF Welterweight Title live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Oktober 24 (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.

“We never missed a beat in preparation, even with the opponent change,Sagte Lipinets. “My fight with Kudratillo Abdukakhorov was on and off for so long that I already had an idea that he was going to be forced to back out, so I wasn’t shocked. ist mir egal, obwohl. Whoever I have to fight I’m ready to fight, so I didn’t consider backing out of fighting for even one second.”

Lipinets credits his trainer, the renowned Joe Goossen, for helping his fighter mentally through the changes, in addition to the physical training they have undertook heading into the fight.

“Having Joe Goossen is like having a psychiatrist as well as a trainer,Sagte Lipinets. “He’s been extremely helpful about how to approach all of this. Joe helped me stay calm and understand that something good can always come from a bad or difficult situation, und deshalb, Ich habe nie den Fokus verloren. “

Clayton ist ein kanadischer Olympiasieger mit einem makellosen Pro-Lebenslauf in diesem Showdown. Während Lipinets feststellt, dass es Unterschiede in den Kampfstilen zwischen Abdukakhorov und Clayton gibt, nichts davon ändert seine Absicht im Oktober 24.

„Ich weiß, dass Clayton einen großartigen Amateur-Hintergrund hat,Sagte Lipinets. "Ich habe seinen Stil überprüft, und der Hauptunterschied ist, dass Abdukakhorov aktiver und Clayton genauer ist. Abdukakhorov ist auch etwas aggressiver und Clayton ist geduldiger.

"Ich denke nicht, dass einer härter oder einfacher ist als der andere. Ich denke, dass jeder, der auf diesem Level kämpft, ein schwieriger Gegner ist. Abdukakhorov bewegt sich mehr und kann mit den verschiedenen Stilen, die er verwendet, unangenehmer sein. Beide sind sehr harte Jungs, but I’m ready for Clayton and focused only on him at this point.”

Despite his sole focus on Clayton, Lipinets knows that this fight brings a big opportunity to make a loud proclamation to the rest of the stacked welterweight division with a big performance to capture the interim IBF title.

“I’m prepared to make one statement – I belong here,Sagte Lipinets. “I want to fight the best. I want to make my imprint on this sport and build my legacy. I’ve had to do it the hard way, but I’m not complaining. I fought for my first championship in just my 13th Profi-Kampf. I believe that I belong right there at the top of this sport. People need to start mentioning my name with the top guys and after this fight they’ll have to. You can’t look past me anymore.”

JUAN HERALDEZ TRAINING CAMP NOTES

"Im Oktober 31 everyone will see what I’m capable of," – Heraldez

Unbeaten Contender Juan Heraldez Faces Former World Champion Regis Prograis in SHOWTIME PPV® ActionSaturday, Oktober 31 Live From the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas in an Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK – Oktober 16, 2020 – Unbeaten super lightweight contender Juan Heraldez is deep into training camp and shared insights into his preparations as he nears a showdown against former champion Regis "Rougarou" Prograis am Samstag, Oktober 31 live on SHOWTIME PPV in a Premier Boxing Champions event headlined by Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz live from Alamodome in San Antonio.

“It’s been a long eight-week camp preparing for Prograis,” said Heraldez. “We’re fighting a different style of fighter, which is a good thing because he’s the type of fighter who comes to fight. A style like this makes it easier for me to train and prepare.

“Prograis has power, but you have to land it and that’s where my defense comes into play. My defense has always been a factor and it’s something we always tweak and find ways for me to be sharper. On paper his credentials are up there, but in the ring all of that goes out the door. Wenn die Glocke läutet, I’m not thinking about him being a former world champion. I fight and get the job done.”

Heraldez has adapted to the changes produced by training during the pandemic, and has been able to keep focused throughout camp. He credits the infrastructure at the Mayweather Boxing Club, where he trains in Las Vegas, for helping keep things running smoothly as he prepares to face his toughest opponent to date.

“The pandemic has had a slight effect on camp like it has with everything else,” said Heraldez. “There are so many protocols and safety measures, so you can’t just rotate sparring partners as easily as you could before. Adjusting to wearing a mask in the gym and getting tested constantly are things you learn to get used to. The Mayweather Boxing Club has done a great job of keeping the gym clean and safe for all of us. A lot of my stablemates are here in Las Vegas preparing for big fights, so it’s a great feeling knowing that we can come to a gym where safety is the top priority.”

The unbeaten Heraldez will return to the ring after fighting former world champion Argenis Mendez to a draw in May 2019 auf Showtime. Heraldez had put together an impressive string of victories dating back to a 2017 triumph over then-unbeaten Jose Miguel Borrego, and included a knockout win over Eddie Ramirez in February 2019 leading into the Mendez fight. Heraldez has continued to fine-tune his arsenal heading into the Prograis fight.

“My team and I have been working on various things such as my jab, but most importantly where I am in the ring at all times,” said Heraldez. “My ring awareness has elevated this camp. My coach and I keep things old school, we don’t have a strength and conditioning coach, we work on the basics and get better at them each camp. Boxing is simple. Stick and move and don’t get hit. The training I get from Coach Otis Pimpleton covers so many things such as cardio, Technik, ring IQ, usw., so my job is just to listen to my team and trust them when I’m in camp and in the ring on fight night.”

While Heraldez is looking to improve on the draw in his last fight, Prograis will be seeking to bounce back from his first career defeat, a memorable 140-pound unification clash with Josh Taylor. With both fighters hungry for a win on October 31, Heraldez expects an exciting night for fans.

“On fight night, both of our styles are going to make for great action,” said Heraldez. “We both bring a lot to the ring. We’re both fighting to be the best, but on October 31, everyone will see what I’m capable of.”

It’s been a hectic year, but I’m happy with where things are for me heading into this fight. Coach Adams has been doing a great job with training, but he also handles my strength and conditioning. He’s got a huge gym with a lot of motivated fighters and it’s great to be around that kind of atmosphere. And my fiancé has been handling my nutrition for my last four fights. So, it’s great to have her involved also.”
 
Magdaleno returns to action after upsetting Austin Dulay in Dulay’s hometown of Nashville, Tenn. im Februar, dropping him in round seven on his way to a 10-round unanimous decision. He credits his team in training camp for the impressive performance against Dulay.
 
“I’ve always taken pride in being a professional, but I learned that I can be very dangerous with the right team around me,” said Magdaleno. “I went into that fight kind of being considered a steppingstone for Dulay, but I showed that I’m still a strong fighter. People counted me out and they made a mistake. I’m just super happy that I found Coach Adams and got a proper team organized around me. I was able to change people’s minds with just one fight. Now I’m in a title eliminator, and with a win on October 31, I’ll have my third shot at a world title.”
 
The 33-year-old has come up short in his most high-profile fights to date, dropping title bouts to Terry Flanagan and Roman Martinez, in addition to a 2019 loss against current lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez. With those experiences and an improved training structure around him, Magdaleno believes the lessons he’s taken from those fights will be instrumental going forward.
 
“The biggest thing that I’ve learned is to stay calm,” said Magdaleno. “When I start thinking too far ahead, that’s when things go wrong. Coach Adams has a great way of keeping me grounded and composed. He knows how to simplify things for me and communicate exactly what I need to do, which makes it less stressful for me. And we’ve done some other things, like correcting my footwork and the angles that I use.”
 
In the 22-year-old Cruz, Magdaleno will be opposed by a fast-rising and exciting Mexican fighter looking to make a mark in his biggest fight to date. With an 11-year age gap, Magdaleno plans to use his extensive experience to his advantage on October 31.
 
“Cruz is something I’ve seen before,” said Magdaleno. “I’ve fought lots of Mexican-style fighters like him who don’t have a lot of technical skill but possess a come-forward style. So, I think I’ll be able to go back to what I know. I’ll just have to stay fluid and pick Cruz apart. He’s a guy who likes to fight on the inside and throw lots of overhand punches and hooks. I’ll break him down like I did my last opponent.”
 
Magdaleno will look to continue his career renaissance against Cruz and put himself back on track for another world title opportunity. With all that he’s been through during his career, Magdaleno remains highly motivated to prove critics wrong and achieve his goal of becoming a world champion.
 
“What I know is that when everyone counts you out, you just have to believe in yourself,” said Magdaleno. “When I decide to hang up the gloves, it’ll be because I want to, not because others say I should. I have my confidence back now and I’m very happy with where I’m going
. Being one shot away from the title that I dreamed of as a child is a huge motivating factor for me. And I fight for my family, zu. I’m a different person now. I’m more mature and I think I’ll be able to prove that to people in this fight.”

SERGEY LIPINETS TRAINING CAMP QUOTES

“I’ll have a plan for whatever he brings to the table and get the win however I have to!"

Former World Champion Lipinets Battles Unbeaten
Kudratillo Abdukakhorov for Interim IBF Welterweight Title
Live auf Showtime® Samstag, Oktober 24 Headlining a
Premier Boxing Champions Event

NEW YORK – Oktober 8, 2020 – Ex-Weltmeister Sergey Lipinets has not let anything, be it the pandemic or a change in fight date, distract him from preparations for his battle against unbeaten Kudratillo Abdukakhorov,as they fight for interim IBF Welterweight Title headlining action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Oktober 24 (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) in einem Fall von Premier Boxing Champions vorgestellt.

“I took the change in date like a champion, and I’ll do the same thing on October 24 that I would have done on October 10,” said Lipinets. “I’m very strong mentally, so there’s really no issue with the timing change. Training camp has been going great and I’m 100% ready for this one. I’ve been working with Joe Goossen and sparring with a lot of great fighters including Rashidi Ellis and Ronald Cruz.”

The 31-year-old Lipinets credits the renowned coach Goossen for the level of performance he has shown in the ring in the two years that they’ve worked together. The union between Lipinets and Goossen followed Lipinets’ run at 140-pounds, which saw him defeat Akihiro Kondo for the IBF Super Lightweight Championship on SHOWTIME in 2017 before losing the title by decision to Mikey Garcia the following year.

“My progression is totally attributed to working with Joe Goossen,Sagte Lipinets. “It’s like going from a high school education, then to college, and now I feel like I’m in graduate school. I’ve learned more with Joe than in all my previous time in the sport.

“Joe Goossen has taught me a lot about the short game and working on the inside. He’s also helped me with my lateral movement and made me way more durable. That’s all combined with my power increasing at 147 Pfund. I’m ready to show all of it on October 24.”

Lipinets added two knockout victories to his ledger in 2019. In March he stopped two-division champion Lamont Peterson in a memorable firefight before blasting out Jayar Inson in the second-round in July. A win on October 24 not only puts Lipinets in line for the winner of the matchup between IBF and WBC Welterweight Champion Errol Spence Jr. and two-division champion Danny Garcia, but also will help solidify his spot amongst the best in the star-studded 147-pound weight class. Jedoch, these potential high-profile matchups don’t take anything away from his focus heading into his upcoming fight.

“I don’t really think about the other top welterweight fighters like Errol Spence Jr., Manny Pacquiao, Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter or Terence Crawford,Sagte Lipinets. “In order to get to them, I have to win on October 24. Then everything else will fall into place. The top guys will fight me when they have to. That’s been the story of my career. Nobody has fought me because they wanted to, but usually because they had to.”

The unbeaten Abdukakhorov presents a challenge that Lipinets embraces. Abdukakhorov enters this fight after a victory over former champion Luis Collazo in addition extensive amateur experience that Lipinets knows will make him a formidable opponent when they square off October 24.

“Nobody is at the top of the IBF rankings for nothing,Sagte Lipinets. “Abdukakhorov had a successful amateur career with a lot of fights. He moves fast and knows his way around the ring. Ich weiß, er ist hart, strong and he’ll do his best to stay in there with me. But I’m going to box him, fight at a distance if I have to, and pile up points against him. Ich erwarte einen großen Kampf. I’ll have a plan for whatever he brings to the table and get the win however I have to!"
