winter Haven, FL (Maart 21, 2016) - Als een jonge jongen opgroeien in Puerto Rico, Jose Medina keek omhoog naar dezelfde vechters die voor altijd gegrift in hun rijke boksen geschiedenis.

 

Van Felix Trinidad om Miguel Cotto en Juan Manuel Lopez, Medina hadden vele uitstekende strijders te bewonderen. Er was een groot verschil nochtans. Medina was aanzienlijk groter dan alle van de groten der aarde die is opgegroeid op het boksen gek eiland dat zit 1,100 mijl ten zuiden van Key West.

 

op 6'3 260 lbs, Medina is dan 75 pond groter dan de grootste native Puerto Ricaanse naar een wereld titel in Jose Torres te vangen. Die dimensionering Medina voordat het zien van hem in actie kan zijn conditionering vraag, maar de 19-jarige is niet alleen pure bulk niettemin. In de sportschool, stablemates noemde hem "Kung Fu Panda" als gevolg van zijn schokkend indrukwekkende behendigheid en de eenvoud in het kwadraat cirkel.

 

Als amateur, Medina gevangen drie Puerto Ricaanse Nationale Kampioenschappen voor de verhuizing naar Florida in 2015 waar hij veroverde de Florida State Police Athletic League (PAL) titel samen met Zilver in de Paul Murphy Championships. Hij heeft ook al snel een grote aanhang, als de omgeving van Orlando heeft een van de grootste Puerto Ricaanse bevolking in de VS..

 

Echter, dat betekent niet dat er geen twijfelaars.

 

"Toen hij kwam hier voor het eerst, hij deed nooit krachttraining eerder,"Zei trainer Marco Fazzani. "Mensen zagen hem toen we voor het eerst gingen naar sportscholen en ze dachten dat hij een slappe was vanwege zijn uiterlijk. Dat totdat we hem in de ring en iedereen besefte Medina is geen grap. Sinds hij is hier trainen, Hij groeide twee duim en werd een stuk fysiek sterker. Verder werken we elke dag om zijn lichaamsbouw te verbeteren. "

 

Op maart 4, Medina maakte zijn professionele debuut op de A La Carte Event Paviljoen in Tampa tegen Richard White. Toegegeven nerveus, Medina overwon de verwachte kriebels die bij het verwijderen van de hoofddeksels voor het eerst kwam en scoorde een tweede ronde knock-out.

 

Na gegaan door het Witte bout zonder incidenten, Medina vecht voor de tweede keer in minder dan 30 dagen wanneer hij voldoet aan Todd Bradley van Brandon, FL in een vier ronde wedstrijd als onderdeel van Mad Integrity Fight Sports’ "Bombs Away 5" Zaterdag, April 2in het Bayfront Hilton in St. Petersburg, FL. Als een vechter die nog in ontwikkeling is in veel opzichten, Medina begrijpt het belang van een verblijf druk en opgewonden dan nerveus voor zijn tweede professionele gevecht.

 

"Ik ben erg dankbaar om te vechten op deze kaart,"Zei Medina. "We verwachten een grote opkomst op April 2. Ik heb gezien Bradley vechten voor, maar ik geef nooit mijn game plan weg. Most importantly, Ik wil mijn fans veel entertainment te geven en als overwinnaar tevoorschijn. "

 

Promoter Joey Orduna van Mad Integrity Fight Sports, die was weliswaar verrast bij het zien van Medina in actie, kijkt ernaar uit om met hem op de kaart.

 

"Jose heeft een heleboel talent en hij is zeker gaan om een ​​nietje in de Tampa-St Petersburg gebied als hij zich ontwikkelt. Hij heeft al kregen een zeer goede fanbase en als een zwaargewicht met snelheid en kracht, het aantal mensen die hem volgen zal alleen maar toenemen. Ik ben opgewonden om hem te zien gaan om te werken aan de 2nd en geloven degenen die hem niet eerder gezien zijn in voor een traktatie. "

 

Het Medina-Bradley matchup wordt gekenmerkt op een tien bout kaart bevorderd door Mad Integrity Fight Sporten bij de Bayfront Hilton in Sint-Petersburg, FL.

Dillon Cook Counting Down Days for ShoBox Debut!

Laat een reactie achter

 

D Cook.jpg

Seneca, MO (Maart 18, 2016) - On Maart 25, junior middleweight prospect Dillon “White Lightning” Cook will find himself in a familiar place but with a new challenge when he battles Justin DeLoach in an eight round bout on ShoBox: The New Generation at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, OK.

 

Tickets for the event promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Holden Productions are $45, $55 en $75 and can be purchased by logging onto Buffalorun.com or Stubwire.com.

 

Ongeslagen in 16 professional bouts with six wins by knockout, Cook’s fought five of his last seven matches at the Buffalo Run, winning handily each time. A member of Holden Productions’ “Four State Franchise”, the popular Cook is from nearby Seneca, MO and fought in front of sellout crowds on multiple occasions. While these are definite advantages for Cook, DeLoach comes into the ring with an impressive background.

 

Against DeLoach, 13-1 (7 KO's), Cook is taking a significant step up in competition and will do so before a national audience. Hailing from Augusta, GA and based in Houston, TX, DeLoach trained alongside top fighters including IBF junior middleweight champion Jermall Charlo, undefeated Jermell Charlo, Bryan Vera and Edwin Rodriguez amongst others. Onlangs, Team DeLoach announced that his new chief second is former two division champion Paul Williams and highly respected George Peterson will work as an assistant.

 

To prepare for DeLoach, Cook’s been training out of the Heartland Boxing Gym and travels to various gyms for sparring as he anxiously waits for the opening bell on Maart 25.

 

“I’m excited for the fight but trying not to let the pressure of fighting on TV get to me,” said Cook, a former National Junior Golden Gloves titlist and six time Kansas City Golden Gloves winner. "(To specifically prepare for DeLoach) we’re working on (technique to counter) his style. DeLoach is a good fighter I’ve seen him fight a few times he’s fast and a busy fighter but I’m pretty fast myself. I expect to match his speed, if not beat it.”

 

Cook also acknowledges his advantages and never second guessed taking the step up in competition.

 

“I’m a smart fighter and can adapt well (plus de) hometown crowd is definitely a benefit. I knew we’d step (up the competition in the near future) and this is a great time for it. I’ve had 16 professional fights and am ready to show the world that I’m capable of going to the next level.”

 

Cook’s promoter, Tony Holden, is confident in his fighter and believes the locals will come out droves to support him.

 

“I’m proud to see him get a shot on a national stage. He’s a key part of the “Four State Franchise” and is a big crowd draw. He’s worked very hard and I expect him to put forth a tremendous performance. I’d like to personally thank Showtime as well for this incredible opportunity.”

 

The Cook-DeLoach bout opens up a quadrupleheader live on Showtime (10:30 PM ET). The card also features highly regarded junior welterweight Regis Prograis (16-0) against Aaron Herrera (29-4-1), two showdowns where somebody’s 0 must go between unbeaten welterweights Ivan Golub (10-0) and Marlon Aguas (9-0) and junior welterweights Ivan Baranchyk (9-0) vs Nicholas Givhan (16-0-1).

Hier is wat de vechters te zeggen had Donderdag:
ASHLEY THEOPHANE
“The focus is to go in there and outwork him on fight night. At the end of the day I have to set the pace. I can’t go out there and outbox him because he’s got tremendous skill and speed. So I have to be able to go out there and outwork him and make it a war.
“When he sees that I’m still there in round 5, he’s going to start to get worried. My whole thing on fight night is to work and bring a war.
“As a boxer, you want to fight the best, and you want these big nights. Voor mij, it’s been a hard road to get to this point, and I’m actually looking forward to fight night because I know it’s going to be a very hard fight, and I know in order for me to win I have to be at my best, and that’s what I have prepared for.
“I’ve been sparring a lot of strong young men in camp; a lot of guys who many believe will be future stars of boxing, and I’ve been doing very well, so I’m more than ready. It’s just a matter of counting down the days now.
“My career shows that if you believe in yourself and never give up, you will get your opportunity. Op dat moment, it’s just up to you to take it.
“I feel I will be able to match him come fight night. I know I’m the big underdog, I know I’m not being given the chance to win, but I really believe we are going to prove the doubters wrong and be world champ come April 1.
“It just became real to be in the same place with him [Broner] at the press conference. It was more motivation to come back in the gym. Once we got back, the guys here at the gym saw me sparring the next day and said they can tell he had motivated me. Hij kan praten, but on fight night, we moeten vechten. He said he’s going to stop me in 4 rondes, so I’ll be looking forward to seeing that because I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to be there for the whole 12 rondes.
“Mayweather Promotions believed in me from the very start and they flew with me in the deep end. I have improved from being around Floyd, and watching him. You have to improve with being around him-the best fighter of all time-you have to improve.”
J'LEON LOVE
“Training is geweldig; I’m healthy, I’m focused, my weight is not bad, I can’t complain. I actually took a week off in September of last year, and have been right back in the gym. We’ve been training ever since for 5 of 6 months now, so we were already ahead.
“Deze kerel [Gbenga], despite his record, has been in the ring more times than me, so he is a lot more experienced. He can survive, or do little things that can upset my game plan, maar op het zelfde moment, I’ve been there done that, and just ready to showcase my talent.
“Elk gevecht is belangrijk, whether it’s the first couple of fights, or now. Naar mij, this is a stay busy fight-stay busy, showcase my talent, look impressive, and show that we’re ready for a world title. Not just fight for a world title, but win a world title. Be a world champion. Continue to reach different levels in the game.
“Ik heb honger, I feel like this is already written for me. I didn’t make it this far for nothing, or to be a contender. For a world championship fight, I’m going to definitely seize the moment so I’m going to go out there and do what I do best, and that is to fight.
“I’m a pretty slick fighter, very smart fighter, so I’ve dissected him already and he makes a lot of mistakes. I think he’ll fall into the trap, and I feel like I will get him out of there. I’m very confident in my training and my ability.”

Heading up the team is Jones’ advisor, a man once known as the youngest promoter in Louisiana State history, Kerry Daigle.
Daigle, a long-time respected staple of the Southern boxing scene, as well as a top executive for Juice Plus personal health and safety products, brought in some medical heavy hitters to assist coaches Maurice “Termite” Watkins and Eleazar Renteria with the hidden side of training a fighter: voeding.
Dr. Roy Vartabedian is a best-selling international author who has specialized in the field of health promotion and disease prevention for over 30 jaar. He also holds a Master of Public Health degree in Health Education and Nutrition.
Vartabedian’s book, Nutripoints, was a New York Times Best-Seller, and has been used in a total of 13 countries in 10 languages worldwide.
“The challenge is when these guys are working out so much, once or twice a day, they’re actually having a problem with losing muscle because it’s hard for them to eat enough calories to maintain their weight,” said Vartabedian, “or the way they do it is unhealthy which will decrease their stamina and endurance.”
The average person, says Vartabedian only needs 2000 naar 2500 calories per day. Heavyweight fighters in training need somewhere in the neighborhood of 4000 naar 4500.
“Justin is at 232 lbs right now. He’s at his best at 238. Zo, he wants to be on an alkaline diet, which supposedly creates alkalinity in the body which is healthier than acidity for peak performance. That’s means a plant-based and unprocessed food diet. The problem with that kind of diet is it’s very high in bulk and low on calories. What I’ve done is fine tune it for him. I’ve given him a list of high-calorie, good fat foods and added them to his diet so he’s getting more calories and good fats and more fiber. I’m recommending to increase calories in a healthy way with lots of almonds, cashews, sunflowers seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, macadamia nuts, all unsalted. This will add about 500 calories to a person’s diet in about three handfuls a day.”
Dr. Charles H. Campbell is a Board Certified Ophthalmologist, specializes in retinal disease. A world-renowned surgeon and the founder and Medical Director of South Texas Retina Consultants, Campbell has given his life to the treatment of macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments and tears, macular holes and puckers, floaters, retinal vein occlusions, complications of cataract surgery, vitritis/uveitis.
Campbell has also lent his talents and know-how to the management of fighters, including former heavyweight contender Skip Scott.
“We’re making sure he stays in shape by maintaining a clean lifestyle,” said Campbell. “We make sure he’s eating right. I feel like athletes think they can get all the protein they want, but most of us get 110 grams a day, which is way too much. Zo, we can regulate his water and protein intake. He probably needs 10-12 servings of fruit, so we give him Juice Plus which is proven to put about 6 ½ servings into your body.”
Campbell says a common mistake fighters make is in their fluid intake.
“Most of these athletes don’t drink enough water. For his size he probably needs a gallon and a half a day. But mostly, I hope to help him make sure he doesn’t get off track and eat bad foods.”
Daigle has big plans for Jones, who recently signed with Warriors Boxing and Leon Margules, one of the top promotional firms in the world. It was Warriors Vice-President Dominic Pesoli who first gave Jones the added moniker of “Triple J.”
“There is no heavyweight that has better foot movement and throws more combinations than Triple J,” said Daigle. “Once given the opportunity Justin will surprise the world. There are a lot of taller heavyweights that are rated in the top 10 in every sanctioning body. These guys are made-to-order for him. We are excited about his future in the NEW heavyweight division.”
The fighter himself says the help of his medical dream team has been immeasurable already.
“The difference has been incredible,” zei Jones. “I don’t want this secret to get out to other fighters! They both got me on Juice Plus for all its healthy vegetables and fruits and they’ve really changed my diet and given me a world of information on how to be healthy. I’ve changed how I eat with their help and it’s really benefitting me. I feel better more energized. When I started training I was 264. My last fight I was 230. It’s just getting me fit. Like a machine that can just go and go and go. That’s what they’re doing for me. I’m eating the right things to stay big but be in perfect shape at this size. I’m eating to gain weight and turning it to athletic muscle. They’re awesome. They’ve made a believer out of me.”
