New York, NY (Desember 29, 2015) – Junior middleweight boxer and philanthropist Boyd “Rainmaker” Melson has been nominated for Most Inspirational by Ring Magazine.

Having dedicated most of his life during the last 13 years to help cure Chronic Spinal Cord Injuries, Melson’s selfless efforts have been chronicled by various media outlets. The visibility of the cause he fights for and organization he donates 100% of his fight purses to, Span stryd om te loop, has grown tremendously during the last few years.

Die 2003 West Point graduate also helped organize three successful “Fighting for the Cure” galas and successfully lobbied New York’s powers that be to reinstate a bill that allocates a percentage of each moving violation towards Spinal Cord Injury research. Last summer, die 15-1-1 junior middleweight along with Dr. Wyse Young, Dr. Patricia Morton and others met with Congressman Chaka Fattah at a briefing at the Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC to discuss clinical trials that could help hundreds of thousands suffering from Spinal Cord Injuries walk again. Word from Congress about the trial going forward is expected within 90 dae.

Algehele, Melson’s raised more than $350,000 for Team Fight to Walk.

"Last December the WBC honored me with their Ambassador Of Peace Award and this past July the NABF honored me with their Humanitarian Award,"Sê Melson, who captured the WBC USNBC title with a career best performance in May 2015. “A sport that I was forced to first partake in because of a mandatory gym class at West Point my Plebe (eerstejaars) year along with my belief how I could use the boxing ring in order to help find a way to help people walk again has turned into this.”

"My only hope is that any human being learning of this story, especially children, internalize the following: understand your power of creating a vision, understanding what your own abilities are to achieve that vision and prepare to suffer while holding on to that vision for as long as their is air in your lungs. I believe my experience throughout this journey so far has shown again how one person can be the raindrop that creates the storm of change. What is real in our minds is real. I’m honored that Ring Magazine included me and I hope the publicity helps raise funds and awareness for Spinal Cord Injuries. Thank you to the sport I love for sharing my dream.”

Uchiyama vs. Flores is set to take place on New Year’s Eve, Desember 31, 2015 at the Ota-City General Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan.
Flores speaks on his upcoming showdown with Uchiyama…
Op Desember 31, 2015 you fight WBA super-featherweight world champion Takashi Uchiyama for his title. This will be your first would title opportunity. How do you feel going into this fight?
Oliver Flores: I’m very excited for the opportunity to be fighting for a world title. I’m very grateful to my promoter Havoc Boxing, who came through and put this fight together for me. I’ve worked my whole life to get in this position. Ek is 100 prepared to give Uchiyama the fight of his life. My body is healthy and I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m going to seize the opportunity to the best of my ability.
What kind of fight are you expecting from the champion?
Oliver Flores: Takashi Uchiyama is an incredible fighter. He’s defended his title many times over and his record is unblemished. Most of his title defenses have ended in a knockout so I know he’s a very powerful puncher. I’m expecting him to be aggressive in his approach.
How is the relationship with you and your father, who also serves as your trainer?
Oliver Flores: My father Roger Flores is a former pro boxer who has been guiding my corner since I turned professional. He knows my strengths and weaknesses and is very good at finding flaws in my opponents. He’s been with me from day one and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
How special would it be for you if you were to bring the World Championship home to you countrymen of Nicaragua?
Oliver Flores: To bring the title home would be a dream come true for me. I have a lot of support from family and friends that will be looking forward to the outcome. I know I’m the underdog going into this fight but I have a country that will be showing support when I go to battle in Japan. My goal is to follow in the footsteps of Alexis Arguello and Roman Gonzalez, who brought great pride to Nicaragua?
Can you talk about training camp?
Oliver Flores: Training camp has been very demanding. I’m on a strict diet that has me at my optimum best. I’ve had some great sparring here in Nicaragua where I’m working out with a few different guys. Everyone is pushing me to the limit. It’s this type of training camp that’s going to get ready for Uchiyama, who I know is going to be at his best. I’m executing every possible situation that I feel will come up in this fight. Ek is gereed vir die stryd.
Without giving up your game plan, what do you feel you’ll need to do to come out victorious against Uchiyama?
Oliver Flores: I need to be aware of his powerful right hand power punchers. He also likes to land he left hook to the body, so I need to be ready to counter those punches.
Are you concerned about getting a fair decision in Japan where Uchiyama resides?
Oliver Flores: Moenie, I believe the WBA judges will be fair. Of course my goal is to end the fight early if possible, to avoid any argument. I know it’s going to be a very difficult task to come out with a victory, but a task I feel I can accomplish.
Talk about you relationship with Havoc Boxing Promotions.
Olivier Flores: Fighting for Havoc Boxing has been a tremendous blessing to for me and my career. I signed with them in June and shortly after I had a fight in August. Now remarkably I’m fighting for a world title and I couldn’t be happier. As a fighter you want to stay busy and put yourself in position to take your career to the next level. With Havoc Boxing, I’ve been able to do all of the above. My dad and I are very pleased to be part of Team Havoc Boxing.

Onoorwonne Middelgewig Rob Brant Faces Decarlo Perez in Main Event; Harmonito Dela Torre, Jarrell Miller & Bakhtiyar Eyubov
Risiko hul onbevlekte Records In Ander Televisie Veg

Vrydag, Jan. 22 Op 10:35 namiddag. EN/PT

Woon op Showtime®

NEW YORK (Desember. 28, 2015) - ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie begin sy 15ste jaar op Showtime® met 'n plofbare quadrupleheader op Vrydag, Jan. 22, 2016 live vanaf Sun Casino in Tucson, Ariz. (10:35 namiddag. EN/PT, vertraag op die Weskus).

 

In die belangrikste gebeurtenis van die aand, onoorwonne middelgewigtitel Rob "Bravo" Brant (18-0, 11 Uitklophoue, 0-3 in World Series of Boxing) van St. Paul, Van., maatreëls teen Atlantic City se Decarlo Perez (15-3-1, 5 Uitklophoue) in 'n 10-ronde matchup.

 

In mede featured aanvalle, onoorwonne Harmonito "Hammer" Dela Torre (17-0, 12 Uitklophoue), van Las Vegas deur middel van die Filippyne, makes his United States debut against Rafael Guzman (16-1-1, 10 Uitklophoue), van Ensenada, Mexico in an eight-round super featherweight bout and undefeated heavyweight Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller (15-0-1, 13 Uitklophoue) van Brooklyn, N.Y.. faces southpaw Donovan Dennis (14-3, 11 Uitklophoue, 2-1 in WSB) van Cleveland, Ohio in an eight-round scrap.

 

Die opening van die ShoBox uitsending, hard-hitting Bakhtiyar Eyubov (9-0, 9 Uitklophoue), van Brooklyn, N.Y.. by way of Kazakhstan, voldoen aan Jared Robinson(16-2-1, 7 Uitklophoue), of Sumter, S.C. in an eight-round super lightweight tiff.

 

The event is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions.

 

Boxing historian and expert ring analyst Steve Farhood has called every fight on ShoBox since it premiered in 2001. He anticipates another year of excellent, competitive matchups in 2016.

 

“In 2015, we had eight fighters who appeared on ShoBox en hy het op die wêreld titels te wen. That means the average number of shows in which you’ll see a future world champion is one out of four,"Sê Farhood.

 

“We saw some fantastic prospects last year, insluitend Erickson Lubin en Regis Prograis and fresh faces like Jarrett Hurd, Rob Brant—and a fighter who almost seems ready to fight for a title now—SergeyDerevyanchenko. Given Shobox’s 15-year history, I’m fully expecting that we will have more of the same in 2016.’’

 

Brant, Perez and Miller will be making their second consecutive appearances on ShoBox. Brant and Miller were victorious last Oktober. 23, Perez last Augustus. 28. Robinson will also be making his second ShoBox start; the four other boxers will be making their debuts.

 

“Both Brant and Perez won their most recent appearances on ShoBoxand both were impressive,'' Farhood gesê. “Brant took a big step up and outpointed Louis Rose in October and Perez pulled off the upset over the previously unbeaten Juan Ubaldo Cabrera in Augustus. So it makes all the sense in the world to match them against each other. On Jan. 22, we’re going to find out just how hot Rob Brant is.’’

Twenty-six-year-old Brant will be headlining his second consecutiveShoBox. In his first, he captured a hard-fought 10-round majority decision over Rose. Gaan 10 rondes vir die eerste keer, Brant triumphed in an entertaining tight fight.

Voor die draai pro in November 2010, Brant was a 2010 Nasionale Golden Gloves Kampioen 178 pond en 'n lid van die U.S. national boxing team pro. He currently trains in Dallas alongside top prospect Errol Spence Jr.

“I’m really excited about this fight and I’ve been training hard for several weeks now,’’ Brant said. “I’ve got a very serious opponent in front of me. He rates about a 7.7 at everything, which doesn’t leave a whole lot of weaknesses. I’ve got to go back to pure boxing for this one. I have to be better in every department. It’s my second time headlining ShoBox and I plan on improving from the first time, so viewers can chart my progress. This is my time to show my growth.’’

Perez, who hails from a fighting family, het vier reguit en nege van sy laaste gewen 10. Hy het 'n verrassende, omgekrap, 'n 10-ronde eenparige besluit oor Cabrera (23-0 gaan in) in sy laaste uitstappie. Perez, wat die stryd op 'n week kennis geneem, outpointed die tweemalige Dominikaanse Republiek Olimpiese deur die tellings van 98-91 twee keer en 97-92.

"Ek is so opgewonde ek is die belangrikste gebeurtenis op nasionale televisie,'' Perez gesê. "Ek weet nie baie oor my opponent, maar ek is goed voorbereid, beide geestelik en fisies. Ek is van plan op te gee die ondersteuners 'n opwindende aand.

"Camp is baie goed gaan. My bestuurspan gebring in top sparring met al onoorwonne boksers, een wese Julian Williams. Ek is opgewonde dat my afrigter is die feit dat ek die meerderheid veg, indien nie almal van hierdie stryd, in die hotklou houding. Ek is regtig 'n hotklou, maar ek het geveg regshandige meeste van my loopbaan. "

 

Perez se laaste verlies kom op 'n split agt-ronde besluit om wêreldtitel uitdager Wilky Campfort in Januarie 2014. Buite die ring, Perez is 'n apteek tegnikus by 'n Atlantic City hospitaal.

 

Miller, 'n voormalige New York Golden Gloves-finalis wat pro draai in Julie 2009, is 'n selfversekerde, power-pons swaargewig wat kom by jou uit te klop. Hy het sy ShoBox debuut, stop Akhror Muralimov met 'n verwoestende regterhand na die ken op 1:03 in die derde ronde.

"Ek voel asof ek hier twee jaar gelede moes gewees het,'' Miller het gesê. "Ek is nie kom om vriende te maak. Ek is hier om uit te wis en vernietig die hele swaargewig-afdeling. On Jan. 22, Ek gaan Donovan Dennis sit om te slaap. Ek is nie op die oomblik hoor, so ek het myself bekend te maak. Na hierdie stryd en wat doen ek aan Dennis, Dinge sal regtig, werklik begin om af te haal. Ek is gereed om te vernietig. ''

 

Behalwe dat 'n harde slaner, Miller het 'n goeie algehele vaardighede en beweging vir 'n groot man wie se gewig wissel van stryd om stryd. Hy het sy laaste vier deur uitklophou, al binne drie rondes.

Bekend vir 'n aggressiewe styl, Miller is nou ten volle gefokus op 'n fistic loopbaan, maar hy kom van 'n MMA en skopboks agtergrond. Vir 'n paar jaar, Hy het deelgeneem aan K-1, histories die wêreld se voorste skopboks organisasie, en twee keer geveg die legendariese Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic.

"Dit lyk of daar 'n nuwe energie en entoesiasme op die Amerikaanse swaargewig toneel wees,'' Farhood gesê. "Deel van wat verklaar word deur die val van 'n dominante kampioen in Wladimir Klitschko en 'n deel van dit word verklaar deur die opkoms van Deontay Wilder, en selfs Travis Kauffman. So vir 'n jong swaargewig soos Jarrell Miller, die tyd blyk te ideaal om veilige TV blootstelling wees en maak 'n naam vir homself. ''

Dennis, 28, gebore en getoë in Davenport, Iowa. Voordat hy pro in Junie 2010, Hy was 'n top-vlak amateur: 11-tyd Iowa State Kampioen, 2011 Nasionale Golden Gloves naaswenner in en 2012 Die. S. Olimpiese Spele Proewe deelnemer.
Die 6-voet-4 Dennis beskik goeie vaardighede, beweging en pons krag om te gaan met sy sterk amateur agtergrond. Sy swakheid is duursaamheid; hy is uitgeskakel in al sy verliese.

 

"Ek is gereed om te veg,'' Dennis gesê. "Ek het al die opleiding baie hard en ek sien daarna uit om die stryd. Ek wil net hierdie oorwinning te kry en aan te beweeg as ek 'n groot jaar sal in 2016 ''

 

Dela Torre, beskou as een van die top jong talente in die Filippyne, sal veg buite Asië vir die eerste keer. 'N Groot ponser en wenner van sewe reguit deur uitklophou, die 5-voet-8, 21-jaar-oue kom af athird-ronde TKO oor Ricard Betos laaste November. 14.

"Dit is droom elke bokser se om te veg op groot kaarte in Verenigde State van Amerika. Dit is die volgende stap in my pad na besig om wêreldkampioen,'' Dela Torre sê. "Ek kan nie wag. Dit is 'n geleentheid wat ek sal voordeel te trek uit en wys almal ek is gereed om te stap tot. Ek laat my span konsentreer op my teenstanders en slaag my instruksies. Ek weet net ek sal gereed en in staat is om enige teenstander te stop nie. ''

 

Voordat hy professioneel op 17, Dela Torre was 'n top lid op die Filippynse Nasionale Amateur Boxing Team. As a pro, Hy het 'n "naam" vir homself gemaak nadat 'n indrukwekkende oorwinning oor Jason Butar-Butar op die undercard van 'n Manny Pacquiao-opskrif stryd in November 2013.

 

Guzman, 'n 5-voet-8½-duim 20-jarige, sal wees om sy VS. debut and initial start outside of Mexico since turning pro at 16 in Julie 2011. In Dela Torre, Guzman will be taking a significant step up in class. Hy behaal 'n derde ronde TKO oor Pedro Lopez on his last start in Oktober. 9.

“I’m feeling very strong and ready for the challenge of this fight,’’ Guzman said. “Fighting on SHOWTIME is a huge opportunity for me. I hear my opponent is a good fighter, but I am ready for anything he can throw. Everybody is going to be talking about me after this fight.”

 

Yeyubov, 29, who could be on the fast track to stardom, is regarded by many to be the second-hardest Kazakh hitter in boxing, ranked only behind Gennadi Golovkin. Since his days as an amateur when he won more than 150 gevegte, a vast majority by knockout, Eyubov geleef het tot sy reputasie as 'n vreesaanjaende hollander wat lyk na die regters van die vergelyking te verwyder.

 

Hy is oorweldig sy eerste nege teenstanders as 'n pro, wen ses deur uitklophou in die eerste ronde en twee deur uitklophou in die tweede. Die verste hy weg in 'n geveg het in sy tweede begin toe hy 'n drie gedruk derde ronde TKO (2:57) oor Jhaquis Davis. In sy laaste uitstappie op Oktober. 29, Hy behaal 'n 1:27, eerste ronde TKO oor Antonio Chaves Fernandes in Brooklyn.

Robinson, 'n pro sedert Augustus 2009, veg uit Charlotte, N.C. 'N veteraan van verskeie geskeduleer 10-ronde gevegte, hy onteenseglik die mees ervare bokser Eyubov is ooit die gesig gestaar.

Twee begin gelede, Robinson geveg om 'n betwiste agt-ronde split gelykop uitslag teen die destydse onoorwonne Haskell Rhodes (23-0 gaan in) Junie 21, 2015. 'N uitstekende bokser met 'n goeie vaardighede en beweging, die 5-voet-9-duim Robinson, 33, kom af 'n eensydige 10-ronde besluit oorChristen Dominguez laaste Sewe. 26.

“I’m feeling really blessed to get this opportunity,” sê Martin. “I want to become world champion so I can go down in history as a top heavyweight. Glazkov is a great fighter. Hy is onoorwonne, so ek weet dit gaan 'n taai stryd wees, but I’m coming to be victorious. I’m getting ready and training hard so I can go out there and get that win.”
“I am looking forward to getting back in the ring and finally getting my opportunity to fight for a world title,” said Glazkov. “I want to thank everyone who helped me get to this place in my career.”
“It’s an honor to promote a dynamic young champion like Deontay Wilder against a tough threatening opponent like Szpilka. What would have been the first heavyweight title fight in Brooklyn in 115 years is now one of the first two. Martin versus Glazkov should be an extremely competitive fight and fans will be treated to the rarity of being able to see two world heavyweight championship fights on the same card.”
“I am excited to be involved in this historic event involving two heavyweight world titles fights, contested on the same evening,” gesê Leon Margules, President van Warriors Boxing. “Having worked with Artur Szpilka since he began his career, I know he is more than ready for this challenge. Artur and Charles Martin both have all the tools necessary to win heavyweight world title in Brooklyn onJanuarie 16.”

Martin (22-0-1, 20 Uitklophoue), of Carson, Kalifornië., by way of St. Louis, is 22-0-1 met 20 KOs and is rated fourth by the IBF. The Ukrainian Glazkov, die No. 1-ranked IBF contender, is 21-0-1 met 13 uitklophoue.
The unbeaten Martin has stopped his last 12 teenstanders. The 6-foot-5, 29-year-old southpaw is coming off a third round TKO of Vicente Sandez in September. Martin, a top-level amateur, has maintained a busy schedule since turning professional – he fought four times in 2015 and five times in 2014. Martin is trained by U.S. Olimpiese Henry Tillman in Big Bear, Kalifornië.
Die aggressiewe-minded, 6-foot-3 Glazkov has won seven consecutive fights, including both his outings in 2015. Glazkov, wat nog nooit platgeslaan, owns victories over former champions Steve Cunningham en Tomasz Adamek. The win over Cunningham this past March earned him the No. 1 spot in the IBF. Before turning pro in July 2009, Glazkov was an amateur standout in the Ukraine – he won the bronze medal at super heavyweight at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, and was a silver medalist at the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships. The 31-year-old will make his U.S. debut fighting for the IBF belt that was recently vacated by Tyson Fury.

In the proclamation, Kauffman was honored for not only his fight with Arreola, where he battled the former two-time world title challenger to a fight in which most people watching the fight both at ringside and watching on NBC had Kauffman ahead, but also for his activities in the community, which includes feeding the homeless and giving back in many facets in Reading.

“I worked hard for years just to get recognized by the city I love,” gesê Kauffman. “I made many mistakes in my life, but I turned my life around and have done everything to give back to my community and the people of Reading, Pa. I’m honored today to finally be recognized in my city after all the hard work and the dedication. Thank you to the mayor, the City Council, and the people of Reading, Pa for this award. I’m at a loss for words, but my journey has just begun. I love my city and will rep it until the death of me.”

Kauffman, 30-2 met 22 uitklophoue, is already back in the gym and is looking forward to his next bout which should come in the beginning of 2016.
