Los Angeles, COME (Marzo 19, 2021) -This Saturday night, one of the top prospects in boxing will be back in action at the Miami Airport Hilton in Miami, Florida as undefeated featherweight Jalen Walker takes on grizzled veteran Julian Aristule in a bout scheduled for six-rounds. Walker of Los Angeles is 7-0 with six knockouts and is looking to add his most experienced foe to his resume.
After a successful amateur career that saw him amass a record of 108-13, and was a three-time National PAL champion; Two-Time Silver Medal winner in the Junior Olympics; Time-Time Silver Medal winner in the Adidas Nationals among his endless accolades. Walker turned professional at the age of 17.
Walker won his first six bouts in Tijuana, Mexico before winning his American debut, which was a unanimous decision over Diuhl Olguin. “I am ready to put on a show. I have put in a lot of hard work for this fight. I have seen a little bit of Aristule. I do not look at too much of my opponents, I let my team do that, but what I have seen is that he is on his way out,” ha detto Walker.
Aristule of Argentina has had a successful career by amassing a record of 34-14 con 17 ko, and is a former WBO Latino Super Bantamweight champion. He defeated two undefeated fighters, and has wins over several more quality opponents.
The ambitious Walker kept in good shape during the Coronavirus lockdown, and was ready for action when he took on Olguin last December 20th.
“Non ho mai smesso di formazione. I stayed in shape, and continued to run and spar,” continued Walker.
Walker, who started boxing at age seven as he followed in the footsteps of his father Norman and grandfather, who were both amateur boxers. Walker is one of the most followed boxers on social media as he boasts over137,000 followers on Instagramknows that platforms like that are very important in today’s world of sports and entertainment.
“I think the key to that is consistency. When I first started getting 1,000 views or so, I thought it was a big deal. I had about 6,000 followers before my pro debut, and it has continued to grow. When I start to fight on bigger cards, I can see that even skyrocketing. There are many world champions that don’t get nearly the views that I get. I am just waiting patiently, and when everything happens, things will click perfectly, It is going to be big.”
Walker has gained valuable experience sparring with several world champions such as Danny Roman, Angelo Acosta, Joseph Diaz Jr. and Murodjon Akhmadaliev .
Jalen is on the cusp of signing with a major promoter, and he knows that he brings a lot to the table both in and out of the ring. “I bring what I can do as a fighter, but also with social media, that even helps promote their events when I am fighting. I am the total package Walker is managed by Waterfront Boxing, which is headed up by the duo of Rene Symonds and Clement Kwan.
The pair see a huge future for Walker.
“Our job as managers to a top talent like Jalen is to build a foundation for him to showcase his talents, flourish as a brand and to develop as a young man,” said Kwan.
Symonds added, “Jalen is an incredibly exciting fighter who eats, dorme e respira la boxe. We’re incredibly proud of how active he has been during the pandemic – with five outings last year. This bout against a 48-fight veteran is another step towards fulfilling his destiny”
McCaskill eying showdowns with Taylor and Shields
Chicago, IL (Marzo 17, 2021) – Fresh off her second consecutive victory over future Hall of Famer, Cecilia Braekhus, undisputed welterweight champion, Jessica McCaskill is looking to fight the biggest names on the female circuit.
McCaskill of Chicago, easily outpointed the legendary Braekhus by scores of 100-89, 99-90 e 98-91 to win her fifth consecutive and raise her record to 10-2.
“I felt my aggression was really good, just keeping the pressure non-stop, and we are ready for what is next. She was running in, and crowded herself, and I figured if she was going to run in, I would have to get at least one or two shots off, and she kept doing it, so I kept doing it as well. I wanted to move and show some more angles, but she kept coming straight in, so she was right there,” said McCaskill.
“A fight with Katie Taylor might be the next thing on the agenda. If that is what it is, that would be great. If that does not work out, then there are a couple of other names out there. As for Claressa Shields, McCaskill thinks a fight with her can happen, “That could be a possibility if Claressa could come down to 147 libbre. All'inizio, she said that she would not give up any weight, and now she is saying she would, so we are just going to have to see if they are going to take this seriously.”
Said McCaskill’s promoter, Leon Margules dei Warriors Boxing, “Jessica proved yet again that she is one of the top fighters in the world. She has now dominated the fighter that has been the long-time pound for top boxer. We would love to fight anyone, and a fight with Katie Taylor would most certainly have a different outcome then their first fight. Fights with Taylor or Claressa would be historic fights as it would match two of the reigning undisputed champions against each other.” Photos/Matchroom Boxing

Tijuana’s Fierro (18-1-1, 14 KO) handed Machado (22-3, 18 KO) of Rio Piedras his first professional loss in Puerto Rico, following a hot start from the former junior lightweight world champion. Machado, 30, scored a knockdown in each of the first two rounds with well-placed right-hand counter punches. Fierro displayed a durable chin and beat the count easily both times, signaling that he was not hurt by the crunching power punches. Fierro was down 48-45 on all three judges’ scorecards at the time of the stoppage.
“I’m happy, I faced a top-notch fighter tonight in Alberto Machado,” said Fierro, who was a three-to-one underdog. “He is world class and dropped me twice. But I am ecstatic that I was able to come back and beat a fighter of his caliber.”
The 22-year-old lightweight turned the fight around in the fourth round as he dedicated himself to a vicious body attack against Machado. The body work paid dividends as he found openings throughout the fifth and sixth round, ultimately leading to a vicious left hand that sent the former titlist to the canvas for the first and only time in the fight. Fierro credited finding his second wind to his two-year-old daughter back in Mexico.
“He dropped me twice in the beginning of the fight,” added Fierro. “When I got back to my corner, I told them, ‘remind me of my daughter.’ Because with this fight I can change her life and that’s exactly what they did after the third round. They motivated me and that’s exactly what I did.”
Prior to the fight, Fierro told the Ring City USA broadcast team, “the best judge is a knockout when you’re fighting in someone else’s hometown.” The Mexican warrior, who replaced undefeated prospect Hector Tanajara on one week’s notice, delivered on his promise to take matters into his own hands.
“We found a lot of gaps in Machado’s game in the sixth round,” stated Fierro. “I took advantage of them and I turned it around. I told you in the interview (prima che la lotta), I didn’t come here to be a tourist in Puerto Rico. I came here to win.”
Immediately preceding the main event, IrlandaJoe Ward (3-1, 2 KO) avenged his only professional loss with a dominating unanimous decision victory overMarco Delgado(7-2, 5 KO) in their six-round light heavyweight tilt.

Ibarra, who hails from Monterrey, Messico, brought the fight to the Los Angeles native throughout the fight and was the far busier fighter.
“Now the world knows who Alma Ibarra is and what she is made of,” said the victor. “To everyone, I was a stranger. And to fight against someone who is very recognized worldwide in Maricela Cornejo and beat her, this opened many doors for us.”
Ibarra, 32, returned from a 16-month layoff following her first professional defeat against Raquel Miller in 2019. Ibarra, who had a successful amateur career, looked comfortable as she commanded the ring against the seasoned professional in 33-year-old Cornejo. Ibarra, a natural welterweight, was fighting at the heaviest weight of her career (156 lbs.).
“I felt very good, molto forte, as this is a division that I am not used to,” said Ibarra. “I always fight in lower divisions, we had to go up two divisions to take this great opportunity, and well, I think we were not wrong to take this risk.”

Nel frattempo, Gonzalez flashed excellent hand speed in the back-and-forth affair and stole many of the later rounds when he found his second wind. This marked the third draw for Martinez over his last seven fights and the first for Gonzalez.
“I feel happy, satisfied with the work I did,” said Martinez. “I understand that I was fighting against a strong opponent and that I won. I pushed more. I was on top of him, but these things happen in boxing. Now it’s a matter of continuing to train, maintain myself and seek that title opportunity.”

“As a boxer, my mom knows what it’s like to be in my position, so instead of getting mad at me, she gives me alternatives to do when I’m feeling low or not myself to have a better chance of being the best fighter I can be,” Kayla explained what it’s like having her mother and grandmother working her corner. “We all have a great relationship and work well in the ring together. They understand what it’s like to be in my position.”
A high school senior, Kayla is in a K-12 program for an online school due to her busy schedule. She does plan to attend college and share her boxing with educational opportunities.

“I rate my performance pretty good but I know I could have done better,” said Benavidez, who extended his perfect record to 24-0. “Ronald Ellis is a tough competitor. I just hope the fans like what they saw. I threw a lot of combinations, punches in bunches. There were a lot of times I thought Ellis was going to quit but he didn’t. Hats off to him, lui è un ragazzo difficile. It was a little later than I wanted but a stoppage is still a stoppage. I hope the fans got a good show tonight.”
A boxing prodigy turned youngest super middleweight world champion in boxing history, Benavidez turned in a masterful performance as evidenced by his punch stats, atterraggio 289 di 532 power punches thrown for an eye-popping connection rate of 54%.

Ellis, 31, showed tremendous determination and a very sturdy chin as he absorbed the constant onslaught from the former two-time world champion. Often working off the ropes as Benavidez pressed the action, Ellis landed 89 della sua 334 colpi.
“I could have popped the jab and controlled things a little bit more and not let him smother me,” said Ellis. “Hell yeah I wanted to finish. I didn’t want to give him that satisfaction. I could have moved a little bit more and not taken so many shots to the head. Hats off to him. He did what he had to do. Non mi ha mai fatto male, that’s the funny thing. I took a lot of shots but he didn’t damage me or have me super hurt. I never thought about quitting.”

We forced the fight at all times and it would have been very impossible for the judges to do something to me when I was the one pushing the fight.”
Throughout the 36-minute affair, Cruz constantly applied pressure against his opponent which led to Romero, the more seasoned professional, to hold excessively in an attempt to stall the pressure. Despite being warned frequently by referee Harvey Dock, the 24-year-old Romero was never penalized. During the rough-and-tumble contest, tuttavia, Cruz was docked a point in the sixth round for a low blow.
“He was a fighter who didn’t want to exchange punches,” Cruz added, in reference to the persistent clinching. “I was very fed up with the clinches—there was never a warning toward him. I did my best out there. Not the best way I wanted to do it but thank God we won the fight and we’re taking the victory home.”

“Obviously I’m not happy with the decision,” stated Romero following his first professional loss. “I thought maybe it was a draw. Overall I’m happy with my performance. He’s supposed to the be the ‘Pit Bull’ and I went the distance. You have to take the opportunities when they are presented and I wish I would have had more time to get ready for this fight.”

But I feel I did good, executed the game plan. My coaches had been studying film and we executed.
“I just took my time,” added Gausha. “I was setting traps. I knew he would be open eventually, but I had to be cautious too because he’s a rangy guy, has a good left hand. But I knew there were holes in his game and we executed and when the opportunity presented itself, we landed that big right hand.”
With his emphatic stoppage win, il 2012 Olympian emerges as a contender for a title shot in the super welterweight division. In his first and only world title shot in 2017, Gausha dropped a unanimous decision to current super welterweight world champion Erislandy Lara.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Giro. (Marzo 8, 2021) – In the 2019 Campionati Nazionali di Boxe USA, Amir Andersonwas a relatively unknown competitor from Syracuse (N.Y.), but this year he believes he’s one of the “top dogs” in the 165-pound decision.
Anderson will be competing in the youth division at the 2020 USA Boxing Campionati Nazionali, rinviata a causa della pandemia COVID-19 dallo scorso dicembre a marzo 25 Aprile 3, a Shreveport, L'.
Anderson’s goal at these championships is simple: he wants to win to lock down a slot on the USA Boxing Youth Team, which will give him a leg up in terms of qualifying for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
“The winner in each weight class qualifies for the USA Boxing Youth Team,” he explained. “Runner-ups are alternates and can make the team if the winner can’t for whatever reason. voglio vincere!
“Last time I had nothing to lose at Nationals. Ora, I have everything to lose. I do my research and breakdown other fighters in my weight class. I’ll be more focused this time because I was an underdog then and now, I’m the top dog in my division.”
The 17-year-old Anderson has already tasted success, capturing top honors at the 2019 Junior Open and 2019 Eastern Regional Open, in addition to finishing in the runner-up position at the 2018 & 2019 Olimpiadi nazionali juniores.
Still a high school senior, Amir describes himself as an all-around boxer with a unique style in which he can box or bang, hit the angles and throw a lot of punches.
Like every amateur boxer, last year was a tremendous challenge to train, due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. “I trained six hours a day in my basement to get in really good workouts,” Anderson said. “And I ran my miles, troppo. When my gym opened-up last July 2nd, it was limited so I had to still workout in my basement. It was hard to stay focused, but I knew how.
“I really planned to win a lot of regional and national tournaments to get national recognition. I wanted to fight in Bulgaria with the junior team, but that was canceled, troppo. The pandemic was a setback for me, but we’ll see what’s in store for 2021.”
The National Championships is the first trip towards Amir Anderson’s Parisian goal for 2024 at the Olympics.

STAR IMBATTUTA CIA GIUGNO A LAS VEGAS PER IL SUO DEBUTTO IN MMA; CHIAMA KATIE TAYLOR E SAVANNAH MARSHALL IN UN'INTERVISTA POST-COMBATTIMENTO (Venerdì, Marzo 5, 2021 - Pietra focaia, MY) Superstar femminile Claressa Shields ha promosso la sua affermazione come "GWOAT" della boxe venerdì sera ed è diventata la WBC unificata, WBO, IBF & Campione del mondo dei pesi medi WBA Super Junior, segnando una decisione unanime unilaterale di 10 round Marie-Eve Dicaire di Sant'Eustache, Quebec, Canada, nel main event di 10 turni della storica “all women”SUPER DONNE: SCUDI VS. DIICAIRE evento al Dort Financial Center e dal vivo in pay-per-view nella città natale di Shields, Flint, Michigan. Shields (11-0, 2 KO) è diventata anche la prima pugile nell'era delle quattro cinture a diventare una campionessa del mondo indiscussa in due divisioni di peso in virtù della sua vittoria di shutout (100-90 da tutti e tre i giudici) ormai ex campione Dicaire (17-1).
Insolitamente, il 25enne Shields è diventato un concorrente all'inizio di questa lotta, per compensare i tentativi di Dicaire di rimbalzare dentro e fuori portata. Affidandosi ai suoi riflessi per punire ogni tentativo di aggressione da parte di Dicaire, Shields ha spento la canadese e poi è tornata alla sua consueta aggressività in avanti più avanti nell'incontro.
Dicaire ha ottenuto un mancino di qualità lasciato su Shields nel quarto round, forse il suo unico colpo significativo della lotta, e Shields si è semplicemente scrollato di dosso senza alcun effetto.
Non posso essere arrabbiato per la mia performance,” ha detto Shields dopo l'incontro. “Continuava a sgomitare e a darmi una testata. Ho provato per il knockout e l'ho quasi fatto un paio di volte, ma abbiamo due minuti e l'arbitro non lo rompe quando mi tiene in braccio e mi dà una gomitata. Sono felice ma volevo comunque il knockout. Non ho avuto abbastanza tempo. Alla fine della giornata, Sono il nuovo campione indiscusso di 154 e il primo pugile ad essere per due volte campione indiscusso”.
La Shields ha detto che era felice di aver compiuto il suo ultimo pezzo di storia davanti alla sua famiglia e ai suoi amici a Flint, anche se la pandemia ha significato la presenza di molti meno fan.
“Con il Covid, non potevamo avere una piena capacità. Ci sono 300 qui e questa è la capacità del giorno, quindi abbiamo un full house. Non potevamo avere piena capacità, ma so se avremmo potuto, avremmo avuto 6000 persone qui dentro. Sono felice di averlo potuto fare qui (a Flint). Ho iniziato a boxare qui a Berston Fieldhouse a 11 anni. Mai in un milione di anni avrei pensato di essere in pay-per-view e di lottare per un titolo indiscusso e di essere una delle più grandi star della boxe. Volevo solo vincere una medaglia d'oro olimpica. Dio mi ha dato due medaglie olimpiche. Io ho 12 cinture di campionato ora. Non sembra reale dire incontrastato due volte.
Alla domanda su due dei suoi rivali rimasti nella boxe, la collega superstar Katie Taylor d'Irlanda e la sua conquistatrice di una volta nei dilettanti, Savannah Marshall del Regno Unito, Scudi pieni di fiducia.
“Katie Taylor non è la preoccupazione. 147 libbre è. Dovrebbero pagarmi molto per perdere il culo e andare giù 147. Alla fine della giornata, Sono una donna. Non ho il seno grande, ma ho un bel sedere, quindi vieni con quell'impasto e io ci sarò. Almeno un milione e ci sarò.
“Savannah Marshall non può scopare con me. Teniamo reale. Savannah Marshall, hai vinto una decisione fortunata quando eravamo bambini. Anche Londra ospitava le Olimpiadi. Se vuoi gongolare per avermi battuto 14 punti a 8... dai adesso. E poi sono diventata campionessa del mondo in tre diverse divisioni e lei ha rotto. Sa che non può e non sarà mai in grado di scopare con me. Può venire in America. Andrò nel Regno Unito. Possiamo andare in Messico. Possiamo andare ovunque, e io la fotterò. Lei lo sa. Ha paura di me. Savannah Marshall può ottenerlo. Dillo a Eddie Hearn, è arrivato con quel coglione di 250.000. Digli di venire con 500.000... 750.000 se vuole che vada nel Regno Unito a fumare la sua ragazza. Pagami”.
Dicaire ha continuato la sua gentilezza negli interrogatori post-combattimento e ha promesso di non lasciare che la perdita inumidisse il suo futuro nello sport.
“Penso che Claressa abbia fatto un buon lavoro stasera,disse Dicaire. "Questa sera, lei era la migliore. A volte vinci e a volte impari. Stasera, ho studiato. Penso che questo mi permetterà solo di diventare più forte. Non boxo per proteggere il mio record o conservare il mio record 0 perdite. Boxo per battere i campioni. Stasera, Ho avuto la possibilità di combattere il vero campione. Ha vinto questa volta, ma conta su di me per tornare in palestra e lavorare sodo ed essere di nuovo campionessa del mondo di sicuro.
Shields, chi dice che il suo tanto pubblicizzato debutto nelle MMA sarà probabilmente a Las Vegas a giugno, buttato 409 pugni nella lotta ed è atterrato 128 Compreso 34.9% dei suoi pugni potenti. Dicar ha lanciato 263 pugni in cambio ma è atterrato giusto 31.
“Flint Michigan ha ottenuto il pugile più cattivo del mondo!" ha detto Shields ai suoi fan. “Noi due volte indiscussi. Pacquiao chi? Canelo chi? Quando qualcun altro fa quello che ho fatto me lo faccia sapere.
In co-main event della serata, Houston è imbattuto Danielle Perkins (3-0, 1 KO) ha mostrato un netto miglioramento e ha avuto un momento molto più facile nella sua rivincita contro quella della Georgia Monika "Lay Em Down" Harrison (2-2, 1 KO), segnando una decisione unanime di otto round dominante mentre raccoglieva il WBC Silver Heavyweight Championship nel processo.
L'ex campionessa del mondo dilettantistica Perkins ha usato ogni parte del suo atletismo superiore, 6' altezza e 72 pollici di portata per muoversi sul ring e tenere a bada il 5' 10 "Harrison con un pungente jab destro da mancino e una dieta costante di forti mani sinistre alla testa e al corpo. A volte, L'arbitro Michael Griffin sembrava prendere in considerazione l'interruzione, ma il durevole Harrison ha continuato a farsi avanti e oscillare per le recinzioni per tutti gli otto round, nonostante la potenza di fuoco si avvicinasse.
I punteggi sono stati 80-72 da tutti e tre i giudici.
“Mi scuso per non essere stato eliminato. Giuro che la prossima volta tornerò e te lo darò, pietra focaia,disse Perkins, post-lotta. “Monika ha apportato alcune modifiche questa volta. L'ho colpita con dei martelli solidi e quella ragazza è rimasta in piedi, quindi complimenti per lei.
Perkins ha lanciato 353 pugni nella lotta ed è atterrato 121 Compreso 40.9% dei suoi colpi di potenza. Harrison ha lanciato 273 colpi, ma ho trovato solo una casa per 21 di loro.
“Voglio essere l'indiscussa campionessa mondiale dei pesi massimi,” ha continuato Perkins. "Voglio essere il migliore che tu abbia mai visto."
Pesi gallo imbattuti Jamie "Il miracolo" Mitchell (6-0-2, 43 KO) di Pacific Grove, California, sembrava impressionante nel picchiare e fermare il veterano più esperto Noemi "La Ribelle" / No-No” Foreste (12-16-3, 2 KO) in cinque turni unilaterali. Con la punizione a due pugni di Mitchell in costante aumento ad ogni round di passaggio, L'arbitro Gerard White ha deciso che i Bosques incespicando e in ritirata ne avevano avuto abbastanza e misericordiosamente sventolò il combattimento a 1:49 del quinto.
“Sono stato appena escluso. Stavo facendo quello che si adattava al momento,disse Mitchell, post-lotta. “È così che ho ottenuto il knockout. Grazie ai miei allenatori e grazie a Claressa Shields per avermi messo su questa carta. Questo è un momento indimenticabile per le donne”.
Prima di segnare il ko tecnico, Mitchell è atterrato 48% (80/167) dei suoi pugni potenti, e 40% (94/234) dei suoi punzoni totale. Noemi Bosques è solo atterrata 24 di 153 punzoni.
“Mi piace prendermi gioco di me stesso per fare meglio,” ha detto Mitchell della sua esibizione. “C'erano alcune cose che volevo fare, ma non per niente chiamano questa ragazza una guardiana. Vorrei averla portata via da lì più velocemente e essere stata più nitida con il mio jab. È stata un po' complicata".
Nell'incontro di apertura della trasmissione, 2012 Medaglia di bronzo olimpica Marlen esparza(9-1, 1 KO) è rimasta impegnata in vista della sua sfida programmata contro la campionessa WBC dei pesi mosca Ibeth Zamora ad aprile con una decisione unanime di sei round dominante sul CanadaShelly Barnett (ora 4-4-2, 2 KO).
Barnett ha cercato di essere aggressivo, ma le abilità di Esparza le hanno permesso di sparare al suo avversario più grande, quasi a volontà, soprattutto mentre la lotta andava avanti. “Sapevamo che era dura e più grande,disse Esparza. “Volevo qualcuno con più peso perché non combatto mai sopra 112 lbs. e penso di averlo gestito bene. Sono felice per come è andato tutto a finire. Sono felice di aver preso parte a questo evento e di lavorare di nuovo con Claressa”.
Lanciò Esparza 352 pugni nella lotta, atterraggio 126, Compreso 26 colpi al corpo e 38.4% dei suoi colpi di potenza. Barnett ha lanciato 291 e atterrato 49. Punteggi dei giudici sono stati 60-54, 6-53 x 2.
