NEW YORK– Tháng tám 5, 2020 – Undefeated WBC Super Middleweight World ChampionDavid “El Bandera Roja” Benavídezsẽ bảo vệ danh hiệu của mình chống lại cựu thách thức danh hiệu thế giớiAlexis Anguloin a Premier Boxing Champions event Saturday, August 15 live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® chương trình truyền hình bắt đầu vào lúc 9 giờ chiều. ET / 6 giờ chiều. PT and also features rising lightweightRolando “Rolly” Romerotham gia vào đồng bất bạiJackson Maríñezin a 12-round battle for the interim WBA Lightweight Title, while heavyweight contendersOtto WallinvàTravis Kauffmansquare off in a 10-round showdown.

“David Benavídez will look to keep his perfect record intact, continue to display his superstar potential and further cement his positioning in the stacked 168-pound division,” said Tom Brown, Chủ tịch TGB Khuyến mãi. “As an undefeated world champ, Benavídez can expect a strong challenge from Alexis Angulo, which should create an action-packed main event on SHOWTIME. Combined with a battle of hungry unbeaten lightweights in ‘Rolly’ Romero and Jackson Maríñez, plus a heavyweight slugfest between Otto Wallin and Travis Kauffman, this shapes up to be another can’t miss night of high-stakes action.”

“It’s going to be great to be in the corner of David ‘El Bandera Roja’ Benavídez on fight night,” said Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing, who is recovering from a recent surgery. “I feel so good and so strong and I truly can’t wait to be there to support the youngest super middleweight champion in history.”

The event is promoted by TGB Promotions and Sampson Boxing. The Romero vs. Maríñez bout is co-promoted by Mayweather Promotions.

The 23-year-old Benavídez (22-0, 19 Kos) defends his belt after defeating two-time super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell in September, stopping him in nine rounds. Benavidez is trained by his father José Sr., alongside his brother and former title challenger, José Jr. Trong 2017, he became the youngest super middleweight champion in boxing history by defeating Ronald Gavril on SHOWTIME at just 20 tuổi. Representing his native Phoenix, Ariz. Benavídez went from a 15-year-old prodigy sparring with Gennady Golovkin and Peter Quillin, to world title contender with a 10-fight knockout streak from 2015 xuyên qua 2017, including a highlight-reel knockout of Rogelio Medina with a seven-punch combination that earned him his first championship fight.

“It’s been almost a year since the last time I fought, so I’m very eager to get back in the ring and give the fans a great fight,” said Benavídez. “Training camp has been amazing. May mắn thay, my dad opened his own gym just before the pandemic, so we’ve had private training and been able to safely bring in sparring partners to help me work. I’m facing a very tricky and rugged fighter, so I’m taking him very seriously. I feel like I can take advantage of some openings in his defense and look for the knockout like I do every fight.”

Born in El Bordo, Colombia and now fighting out of Miami, Fla., Angulo (26-1, 22 Kos) enters his second world title opportunity on a three-fight winning streak, including two triumphs over previously unbeaten fighters. Angulo stopped Reinaldo Gonzalez in 2018 in his first fight since losing a decision to then-super middleweight champion Gilberto Ramirez earlier that year. He scored a decision victory this January over Anthony Sims Jr. to put himself in position to again challenge the best in the division.

“I’m ready for anything that happens in the ring on August 15,” said Angulo. “This is going to be a great fight for the fans because of the style I bring to the ring. Benavidez is a strong champion, but my style will be too much for him and I will have my hand raised on fight night.”

Chiến đấu ra của Las Vegas, Nev., Romero(11-0, 10 Kos) added three knockout victories to his tally in 2019 before his 2020 debut saw him stop previously unbeaten Arturs Ahmetovs in February. A fast-rising prospect in the Mayweather Promotions stable, the 24-year-old is ranked No. 10 by the WBA and will look to extend his six-fight knockout streak on August 15.

“It feels great to return to the ring and to be fighting for such a great opportunity,” said Romero. “This has been the best camp of my career, and I’ll just say this, if a pandemic is holding you back from training, then you don’t want it bad enough. I already believe I should be here with the top guys, but the world will actually get to see that I am who I say I am. I’m confident in my abilities as a fighter and I have the best in the business, Floyd Mayweather, behind me. I think this fight will end fairly quickly, but you will get to see the growth in me as a fighter. This is another fight that will further prove I’m here to stay. Sign up for KO’s!”

“This is a big step up for Rolando, and he’s been waiting for the opportunity to showcase his talent,"Leonard Ellerbe nói, Giám đốc điều hành của Mayweather Promotions. “He has a big test ahead to prove himself. This is going to be another one that you don’t want to miss, so tune-in to SHOWTIME on Saturday, August 15.”

The 29-year-old Maríñez (19-0, 7 Kos) holds the WBA’s No. 6 xếp hạng, which he earned with victories over Rolando Giono and Kenin Betancourt while picking up eight wins between 2018 và 2019. Representing his native Santo Domingo, Cộng hòa Dominica, Maríñez was successful in his U.S. debut in December of last year, stopping Yardley Armenta Cruz in two rounds.

“I’ve had a great training camp for this fight,” said Maríñez. “I’ve been sparring with Vergil Ortiz and Jose Ramirez, plus other fighters in Robert Garcia’s gym, and it’s gotten me ready to step into the ring. I know that Romero is a tough and durable fighter, so it won’t be easy, but I’m going to do anything I can to bring the title back home.”

Wallin (20-1, 13 Kos) will return to the ring for the first time since he nearly defeated Tyson Fury in September 2019, when he opened up a gruesome cut over Fury’s right eye with a legal punch that nearly halted the fight. While the 29-year-old lost a decision, he proved his mettle as a potential future heavyweight champion. Representing his native Sundsvall, Thụy Điển, Wallin trains in New York with former champion Joey Gamache.

“I’m very happy to finally be back in the ring,” said Wallin. “It’s been a long and crazy year in many ways and it feels great to be getting ready to step back into the ring. I’ve been training steady since the Fury fight and I feel like I’ve developed my game in a lot of ways. Kauffman is a tough veteran that can both come forward or box if he wants to. He’s a fan friendly fighter and I have to be ready at all times. We have a great game plan as always and I’m in excellent shape. I know I have all the tools to beat Kauffman.”

A veteran of the heavyweight landscape, Kauffman (32-3, 23 Kos) owns a ledger that includes challenges of top heavyweights including Luis Ortiz, Chris Arreola and Amir Mansour, giữa những người khác. The Reading, Pennsylvania native lost his most recent bout to Ortiz, following a 2018 triumph over Scott Alexander.

“This is my first training camp in seven years without Brother Naazim Richardson, but I know that he wouldn’t want me to leave camp and he’d want me to stay focused,” said Kauffman. “Having him pass away while I was in camp was one of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with, but there’s adversity in every camp I’ve had. I wouldn’t feel right if there wasn’t adversity to overcome. Cha tôi, Marshall, stepped back in as my head trainer. We know we’re facing a young, hungry fighter, but I have more experience than him and I don’t think he can last 10 rounds with me when I’m at 100% like I’ll be on August 15.”

Additional non-televised action will include super middleweight contenderAlantez Fox(26-2-1, 12 Kos) battling Ghana’sHabib Ahmed(27-1-1, 18 Kos) in an eight-round attraction.

“It still hasn’t sunk in yet, it just feels surreal,” said Leo. “The first few rounds I was just feeling him out, getting his timing, getting the feel of him. I felt him kind of loosening up and breaking down, and that’s when I started putting the pressure on him a little more.

“That was the key factor in this fight, the body work and the pressure. I’m pretty sure Albuquerque is celebrating tonight. I think they have four world champions, because you can’t exclude Holly Holm. You have Johnny [Tapia], Danny [Romero], Holly and now me. There’s four champions in that city and I think I’ve made history there.”

Fulton, who watched the fight on television while quarantining following his positive test, was interviewed following the fight by SHOWTIME host Brian Custer.

It doesn’t really matter who but I want the strap.

I wanted him to get comfortable and relaxed, and that’s exactly what he did. He was relaxed and I slipped over and just shot it. He gave it to me and I had to take it. It put him down.

“The result is self-explanatory. I don’t have to say nothing. I’m willing to fight whoever next. One fight at a time and I’ll be prepared for whatever’s on the way.”

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast, the first of a nine-event television lineup taking place over the next five months, will replay on Monday at 10 giờ chiều. ET / PT trên SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Split-T Management’s Christopher Pearson ready for anyone at 160 hoặc 168 lbs.

Để lại một bình luận
NEW YORK (Tháng bảy 28, 2020) – Surging middleweight contender Christopher Pearson is ready for a breakthrough performance against any of the top names at 160 hoặc 168 divisions.


Pearson of Trotwood, Ohio, is managed by Split-T Management, and he recently moved to San Antonio, Texas, có một kỷ lục 17-2, and is riding a three-fight winning streak which includes a win over former Olympic Bronze Medal winner and undefeated Yamaguchi Falcao.


Pearson, who trains in Los Angeles under world-championship trainer Manny Robles, has already begun preparations for his next assignment.


“I started training down here in San Antonio at Jesse James Leija’s gym. I just moved down here, and it took a minute to find a gym, but once the gym opened, this is a great place to be. I will go to Los Angeles on July 30th and start with Manny,” Said Pearson.


Pearson, who began his career with 13 chiến thắng liên tiếp, feels that he is a stern challenge for anybody at middleweight or super middleweight.


“I am looking to fight the best in those two divisions,and solidify myself as the best in the sport. I feel that that the 2nd half of my career is proving that I am the best.”


The Falcao fight proved that Pearson can fight anyone in those divisions, and despite getting a late call for the fight, he performed at a high-level to come home with the emphatic unanimous decision victory.


“I took that fight on four weeks notice. I am not short on confidence, and I know what I am capable of doing.


Recently Pearson had his named mentioned for a showdown with Canelo Alvarez, and he believes that Canelo’s handlers were not too keen in a fight with the 29 year-old Pearson.

“I know that I am one of four or five guys from Golden Boy Promotions that was offered that fight. Out of all of those guys, they must of looked at me as a high-risk, low-reward fight. Fighting me is dangerous. They know me, because I have sparred with him, and he knows what I am capable of.”

“Canelo is a counter-puncher, but he is not better then me in the department. He has more power, but he is not as capable as me. Một khi chúng tôi nhận được trong vòng, anything can happen..especially at 168 pounds.”

“Another fight that I would like to get is with Jaime Munguia. He is at 160 pounds now. I can outclass him. I don’t see anything special about him. If it takes beating other fighters like David Lemieux or Taureano Johnson to get those fights, then bring them on. Right now I am ready to take on anyone.”

Pearson is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions.

Adding to the physical and emotional toll that a delay in competition places on their shoulders, their revenue streams, and hope for success in 2021 and the future are now under threat.

“While I have to wait another year to achieve my Olympic dreams, Giving Games is a great opportunity to inspire America to support USA Boxing and all United States athletes,” said USA Boxing Heavyweight Olympic Qualification Team Member and Giving Games AmbassadorDarius Fulghum. “Donations will not only help myself and my 2021 teammates but will help the next generation of Olympic Champions.”

“This year has been extremely difficult for all, and our hope is to not only help support our 2021 Olympians, but help raise funds for our 1,700+ gyms that have been impacted by COVID-19 and impact the lives of so many youth that are our future Olympians,” statedMike McAtee, USA Boxing Executive Director.

All funds raised will either be a direct donation to a specific sport of the donor’s choice or general support for all sports which will be equally divided among the participating NGBs. Fans and supporters can contribute to Giving Games in the following ways:

  • Take the Giving Games quiz to find the sport that best matches you and donate,

Nathan Beattie vs Milton Arauz headlines 1st August and 6 time World Champion Lee McAllister vs Edwin Palacios headlines 15th August

Following the success of the inaugural LET BATTLE COMMENCE, in association with PAPA JOHN’S PIZZA & KHÔNG NĂNG LƯỢNG UỐNG, that took place at the Northern Hotel in Aberdeen last weekend, promoter Lee Mcallister has announced two more events in the series which will be broadcast live and exclusive on FITE TV on Saturday 1st August and Saturday 15th August 2020.

Back on the 18th July the fans of the pugilistic arts around the world watching LET BATTLE COMMENCE 1 on FITE TV were treated to the spectacle of the return to the fray by Lineal World Boxing Organization (WBO) Featherweight World Champion Scott Harrison, who faced and stopped Professional Boxing Council (PBC) International Champion Paul Peers in a non-championship six rounder.

Prior to Harrison-Peers the fans tuned in watched an incredible Battle Royale between 10 time Kick Boxing World Champion Caitlin Foran, who was making her professional boxing debut, and Professional Boxing Council (PBC) International Bronze Champion Jaime Bates, who stepped in as late replacement after original opponent Carly Mackenzie broke two toes in a riding accident the previous weekend. After six incredibly closely fought rounds Foran secured the victory by a close 58-56 points tally.

The third fight of the night was a fantastic all action War between undefeated Lewis Mulberry and Nicaragua’s Johnson Tellez. I’m sure those watching on TV were as enthralled with the action as much as myself, Mulberry’s ring name is “Machine Gun’ and believe me that is a most appropriate moniker, như 19 year old peppered the body of his far more experienced opponent with fast and powerful left and rights at a mega rapid pace. After six scintillating all action rounds, Referee Edward Law’s scorecard read 60-54 in favour of the teen sensation Lewis Mulberry.

Earlier this year Zeledon beat Manchester’s Dan Booth (4-1-0), so not an easy opponent, regardless of his negative record, vì 25 year old Stewart who returned to the fray following a three year sabbatical.

What a cracking fight, both protagonists went at it hammer and tongs for close to four rounds before Stewart’s power came into play late in the fourth. With around 25 second or so of the round remaining Stewart fired a massive Exocet to send the Nicaraguan to the deck, Zeledon was clearly in pain as he unsuccessfully tried to make it to his feet. Official time of stoppage 2 minutes and 40 seconds of the fourth round.

The opening fight of the night see 18 year old Heavyweight Liam Allan from Aberdeen make his professional debut against Puerto Rican Jose F Leon. Cracking opening round, but in the second Allan’s mature approach, that belied his tender years, really came into play.

As the second stanza progressed, Allan worked behind his superb jab to fashion some good openings, which he took without a second thought. Just about mid way through the second round one such opening enabled the youngster to let rip with a massive shot that sent Leon to the deck. Leon made the count and boxing resumed, then with around 30 seconds of the round remaining Allan created another opening and once again let rip and landed a big shot to send the South American to the canvas for a second time, the tough Puerto Rican tried to make it to his feet again but just failed to make the count, official time of the stoppage was 2 minutes and 40 giây.

BJ Flores Boxing’s all-purpose guy

Để lại một bình luận

(L-R) – BJ Flores & Shumenov Bắc Bộ

COLORADO SPRINGS, Vạt áo. (Tháng bảy 23, 2020) — Multiple world title challenger and decorated amateur boxer BJ “El Peligroso” Hoa never really had a chance. He was born into a boxing family and the now 41-year-old Flores has certainly made the most of it.

Flores is boxing’s all-purpose guy: vỏ sỉ, television color commentator, and trainer.

Bố của anh ấy, Ralph Flores, was a military person who earned his “boxing coaching bones” xuyên qua Kenny Adams, head coach of the 1988 USA Boxing Olympic Team and assistant coach four years earlier. The ’88 USA Olympic Boxing Team included Roy Jones, Jr., Riddick Bowe, Ray Mercer, Andrew Maynard và Kennedy McKinney.

BJ started going to the gym with his father when he was four. His grandfather and older brother were also boxers. “My father wasn’t a boxer, but he learned how to coach boxing from assisting Kenny Adams,” BJ explained. “He fell in love with boxing while working with Kenny and learned his way to teach boxing. Kenny is still like a grandfather to me.”

Flores also loved football and he was offered a full scholarship to attend Brigham Young University. He took two years off from BYU to serve a mission for The Church of Latter-day Saints in Mexico, where he lived in one of the poorest sections of Mexico in Culiacan. He began training there in the same gym where legendary Julio Cesar Chavez trained as a kid. Goodbye, bóng đá.

Là một võ sĩ quyền Anh nghiệp dư, Flores had a superlative 110-11 kỷ lục, highlighted by gold-medal performances at the 1997 National Golden Gloves and 2000 Western Trials, in addition to the 2001 & 2002 US Championships as a heavyweight. He was the only American to win gold in 2002 tại 4 Nations Tournament in Alabama versus Germany, France and Australia.

Flores targeted a berth on the 2004 USA Boxing Olympic Boxing Team, and he was a top contender, tuy nhiên, he received an offer from Main Events to turn pro that BJ described as too lucrative to pass up.

“BJ’s decorated career as an amateur boxer, professional boxer, and broadcaster place him in a top tier of well-rounded USA Boxing Alumni,” said Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. “His valuable experiences inside and outside the ring serve as great examples for the next generation of champions.”

Flores fought professionally from 2003 đến 2018, compiling a solid 34-4-1 (21 Kos) kỷ lục, including three major World title challenges, both as a heavyweight and cruiserweight. He captured eight regional titles, as well as the IBA and WBF World super cruiserweight championships.

During his boxing career, network officials discovered that he was a gifted boxer, as well as well-spoken, handsome and knowledgeable with a smooth delivery. More than anything else, he could effectively break down fighters and fights and instead of only noting what had happened, he explained why and what was going to happen for fans watching.

Hoa’ break as an announcer came, according to BJ, after his 2008 fight against Darnell Wilson live on ESPN. “I was a 4-1 underdog against Wilson,” Flores said. “He was coming off five straight knockout victories and we were fighting in his hometown (Dover, Delaware). He was ranked No. 2 and I was No. 15. He came into the ring carrying a pillow for me, but I beat him for 10 của 12 vòng.

“I was then brought into ESPN’s studios to be interviewed. Boxing was my life! I worked withBrian Kenny and we immediately had chemistry. By the end of that year, I was an ESPN in-studio commentator every three weeks.”

Flores ended up being hired as a ringside analyst in 2012 and he became part of the PBC (Premier Boxing Champions) broadcast team on NBC. He worked with giants in boxing and media industries such as Sugar Ray Leonard, Al Michaels và Marv Albert.

Although Flores didn’t represent his country at the Olympic Games, he was a CBS Sports color commentator in 2012 và 2016. He is looking forward to calling Olympic boxing once again next year on CBS.

“Anytime you can represent the USA is a tremendous honor and great opportunity,” Flores added. “I called the 2012 Olympics (Vương quốc Anh) và trong 2016 (Brazil). We called the action from a studio, but I’d love to call next year’s Olympics from ringside in Japan. Tôi yêu nó. Nothing else in life matters to me versus the Olympics.”

Để lại một bình luận

COLORADO SPRINGS, Vạt áo. (Tháng sáu 4, 2020) - Như nhiều võ sĩ quyền anh, hai bộ phận vô địch thế giới "Gà trống" Jose Antonio Rivera tín dụng quyền anh vì đã cứu sống anh ấy.

"Chắc chắn rồi,”Rivera đồng ý. “Sau khi mẹ tôi qua đời khi tôi 10 tuổi, Tôi đã từ bỏ cuộc sống và việc ra quyết định của tôi phản ánh điều đó: quanh quẩn với đám đông sai bao gồm cả các thành viên băng đảng, uống rượu ở độ tuổi 10 và 15. Tôi chắc chắn đã đi sai hướng.

“Tôi chưa bao giờ nghĩ mình có tương lai cho đến khi bắt đầu tập quyền anh. Thật khó để nói tôi sẽ làm gì nếu tôi chưa bao giờ đóng hộp, nhưng theo cách tôi đang sống, Bây giờ có lẽ tôi sẽ phải ngồi tù hoặc đã chết. "

Sinh ra ở Philadelphia, Rivera sống ở Puerto Rico và Springfield, MA, trước khi anh ta chuyển đến Worcester, MA, nơi anh ấy gặp một người đàn ông đã giúp thay đổi cuộc đời anh ấy, Carlos Garcia, người phụ trách một chương trình quyền anh đặc biệt tại Worcester Boys & Câu lạc bộ các cô gái.

Rivera đã bắt đầu chơi quyền anh ở tuổi 14 ½ trong một tầng hầm với bạn của anh ấy, Felix Lopez.  Anh ấy đã yêu quyền anh sau khi xemRoberto Duran buồn“Đường” Ray Leonard trong cuộc chiến đầu tiên của họ. Chàng trai trẻ người Mỹ gốc Puerto Rico đặc biệt sử dụng kinh nghiệm chơi quyền anh nghiệp dư của mình để chuẩn bị lên hạng chuyên nghiệp. Garcia, ai đang ở trong Đại sảnh vinh danh Găng tay vàng quốc gia, đưa anh ta vào một trận đấu mới chỉ sau một trận đấu nghiệp dư để đưa Rivera vào con đường nhanh, bởi vì anh ấy hiểu rằng Rivera mơ ước trở thành nhà vô địch thế giới với tư cách là một người chuyên nghiệp. Rivera đã hoàn thành với một 35-15 kỷ lục amateur, được đánh dấu bằng màn trình diễn huy chương đồng tại PAL Nationals.

“Tôi chưa bao giờ có khát vọng nghiệp dư lớn nhưng, tất nhiên, Tôi muốn giành chiến thắng trong mọi trận đấu mà tôi đã tham gia,”Rivera nói. “Một khi tôi không đủ điều kiện tham dự Olympic Trials, kế hoạch của tôi là trở thành chuyên nghiệp. Tôi không biết những người nghiệp dư sẽ chuẩn bị cho tôi đến mức nào để trở thành một võ sĩ chuyên nghiệp thành công. Tôi rất vui vì tôi đã lắng nghe huấn luyện viên của mình, nếu không thì tôi đã trở nên chuyên nghiệp sớm hơn, bởi vì tôi sẽ cảm thấy thất vọng với chính trị của những người nghiệp dư. Tôi ghét thua cuộc, nhưng tôi càng ghét thua hơn khi biết rằng lẽ ra mình phải thắng. Sau ba năm bên nhau (với Garcia) theo nghiệp dư và có được vô số kinh nghiệm đi du lịch khắp New England, đất nước và thậm chí chiến đấu ở Canada, Tôi đã nhìn thấy tất cả các loại phong cách và những võ sĩ tài năng đã giúp tôi trở thành một người chuyên nghiệp. Carlos giống như một người cha đối với tôi và trong suốt quá trình đào tạo và đi lại của chúng tôi, anh ấy luôn ở trong đầu tôi, xây dựng tôi để trở thành một võ sĩ giỏi, mà còn để giúp tôi trở thành một người đàn ông tốt hơn ”.

Ngày 7, 1992, Rivera ra mắt chuyên nghiệp, gõ raFrancisco Mercedes trong vòng thứ hai.

Hiện được thăng chức bởi Don King huyền thoại, Rivera đã đi qua Đại Tây Dương vào tháng 9 2003 Tới Đức, nơi mà rất ít người Mỹ có thể giành chiến thắng. Rivera sớm chứng minh rằng anh ấy có ý kinh doanh, hạ gục trước đó bất bạiMichel Trabant trong vòng thứ hai trên đường giành chiến thắng theo đa số 12 hiệp quyết định cho Hiệp hội Quyền anh Thế giới còn trống (WBA).  Triều đại của anh ấy, tuy nhiên, không tồn tại lâu. Trong lần bảo vệ đầu tiên của anh ấy, Rivera đã thua trong 12 hiệp đấu quyết định trên sân nhà ở Worcester trước kẻ thách thứcLuis Collazo (24-1)

Rivera tăng một hạng cân cho trận đấu tiếp theo, thể hiện khả năng phục hồi là yếu tố quan trọng trong sự nghiệp của anh ấy cho cuộc chiến tiếp theo của anh ấy, cũng ở nhà, chống lại nhà vô địch thế giới hạng trung WBA hạng trungAlexandro Garcia (25-1).
