An “Battle of Rio Grande,” main event pits undefeated, former world super middleweight champion **Gilibeart “Southpaw” Ramirez** (40-0, 26 Kos), who challenges North American Boxing Federation (NABF) light heavyweight titlist **Alfonso “El Tigre” Lopez**(32-3, 25 Kos).

“I think that dealing with Zurdo Promotions and getting this first fight off as a free agent really sets the tone,” Hunter said. “I plan to stay busy the next couple of months Teaming up with ‘Zurdo’ and having such a big name next to mine is a great way to put myself in position for the world heavyweight title.”

The 32-year-old Hunter, who fights out of Las Vegas, was a decorated amateur boxer who represented the United States at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. He captured gold medals at the 2012 U.S. National Championships and 2011 Lámhainní náisiúnta Golden, silver medal at the 2006 Lámhainní náisiúnta Golden, and bronze at the 2006 Craobhchomórtais Sóisearacha Domhanda.

He is unbeaten in the following seven fights, moving up to heavyweight to collect six victories and a 12-round split decision versus **Alexander Povetkin** (35-2) in his most recent bout a year ago.

FED UP FEMALE BOXERS DEMAND FAIRNESS AND A PLATFORM

Nollaig 10, 2020 FNU47 Leave a comment

Boxing’s top female athletes have no “baile”, no network to showcase their talent

DO SCAOILEADH Láithreach

NUA-EABHRAC — As women continue to make strides toward equality across industries, boxing and its media partners remain in the past by disenfranchising women from a fair opportunity to showcase their skills and earn a living. In the same year that America elected its first female Vice President, a woman of color, the elite women athletes that top the world rankings have no regular television platform or boxing series. Nowhere is this unfair playing field more apparent than in the United States and North America.

The overwhelming majority of top females in boxing have not fought in 2020, or have not fought since January. The pandemic has hit women in boxing even harder than it has hit the men. The picture wasn’t rosy before Covid-19 and, without action, there is no reason to believe that it will improve.

This impacts all women in American boxing, from stars Claressa Shields and Amanda Serrano, to reigning world champions, to six-round and four-round fighters. Other than a handful of athletes, most female boxers must hold down a full-time or part-time job to make ends meet.

Amanda Serrano, Heather Hardy, Ava Knight and others have pursued opportunities in MMA to supplement their income and avoid inactivity. Claressa Shields, the most acclaimed woman in American amateur history, dhá-am bhuaigh bonn óir Oilimpeach, and a proven attraction, is presently without a platform and just announced a multi-year deal with the Professional Fighters League.

The unified champion from Flint, Michigan, told The Athletic that, “Tá sé (dornálaíocht) a sexist sport. It’s sexist with the opportunities we’re given. It’s sexist with the TV time. It’s sexist with how much we get paid. Gach trí. It’s fine for a female boxing star to try her hand at MMA. They shouldn’t be compelled to do so for lack of opportunities.”

“These women consistently deliver great fights and solid viewership numbers,” Dúirt Lou DiBella, who promotes more women than any other US promotional entity. “They put people in seats, and viewership of their events often rivals the men. These aren’t club level fighters. They are elite world champions and, without television, without a regular platform, they can’t be financially secure or build any kind of fan base. It’s remarkable that women’s boxing is growing its talent pool and raising its stature, given the scarce television and streaming slots that are reserved for female fighters. This is a testament to the resiliency and dedication of boxing’s female athletes, who deserve better.”

Local promoters, who are in the business of growing fighters and filling seats, can offer spots on their cards and regional exposure, but purses are very limited without television revenue. Female fighters’ purses are often limited to a percentage of tickets they sell out of hand.

At the top levels, women are passed over. Heather Hardy, a DiBella Entertainment fighter, has seen the difference in the growth of boxers of both genders. “At press conferences, I sit at a seat at the very end, with the rest of the undercard fights,” Said Hardy. “I watch the boys go from sitting next to me at the end of the table, to moving up to the main card, then the co-main, and then the main event, but my seat never moved. No matter how much press I got, no matter how many fights I won, I never moved. Systemic sexism didn’t allow me to move.”

“It isn’t like we are a separate organization like the WNBA. We are only provided with token opportunities, fighting on the same cards, often in much more competitive fights than the men, and still aren’t treated fairly,” Said Hardy. “We have no place or professional home of our own.”

“This trickles down to aspiring female boxers and the amateur programs,” DiBella continued. “Young women in boxing need to see other women on the big stage. They need to see women that look like them on television and on streaming platforms. They need to know that if they pursue a boxing career, there will be sufficient opportunities to be seen showcasing their talents, for fair wage. If women are able to headline a boxing event, or capable of selling a significant percentage of a live gate, they should not be paid ten to twenty percent of what similarly situated men are paid. We’re not sending the right message here, and there’s no good reason for it in the 21st century.”

The pool of talent available to women in the pro ranks is smaller, but it forces the best matchups. It forces women to fight outside of their weight classes.

“Jessica McCaskill just won unified world titles, and wants to fight me at 147,” said Amanda Serrano, seven-division world champion. “She called me out at 147! It’s kind of sad. Good for us if it makes sense, but the truth is, they’re calling out champs at 126. That is four different weight classes to go up. Men don’t have to do that! Women are constantly forced to compromise ourselves just to get a chance.”

The talent pool won’t increase unless younger generations are inspired by women on television and streaming – women who can fight as well as, and often better than, the men who are on television now. It’s time to stop asking nicely. It’s time for women boxers to demand fairness and stability, and it’s up to network executives, na meáin, and those who control access to media platforms, to stop living in the past. It’s time for women in boxing to fight for themselves and for the right to earn a living. And it’s now a time for action.

Gilberto Ramirez vs. Alfonso Lopez Headlines “Battle of Rio Grande”

Nollaig 10, 2020 FNU47 Leave a comment

Live Dec. 18^ú on pay-per-view from Galveston, Texas

GALVESTON, Texas (Samhain 30, 2020) -- There is a Texas showdown coming December 18^ú called the “Battle of Rio Grande,” in which undefeated, former world super middleweight championGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (40-0, 26 Kos) challenges North American Boxing Federation (NABF) trom éadromAlfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-3, 25 Kos), live on pay per view from Galveston Island Convention Center in Galveston, Texas.

“Battle of Rio Grande” will be available for live viewing on digital, cable and satellite, ag tosú ag 8 p.m. AGUS / 5 p.m. PT, on pay per view for a suggested retail price of only $24.99. FITE will stream worldwide on the FITE mobile apps, all major OTT apps and website (www.FITE.tv), and Integrated Sports Media will distribute throughout North America via DirecTV, iN Éileamh, and DISH in the United States, as well as in Canada on Shaw and SaskTel.

The main event fighters, Ramirez and Lopez, are co-promoters of “Battle of Rio Grande” under their promotional company names, faoi seach, Zurdo Promotions and El Tigre Promotions.

Ramirez, 29, became the first Mexican super middleweight champion of the world in 2016 with a 12-round unanimous decision over World Boxing Organization (WBO) curadhArthur Abraham (44-4). The multi-gifted southpaw “Zurdo” (means lefthanded in English) from Mazatlán, Mexico, went on to make five successful title defences, including three against unbeaten challengersJesse Hart (25-0), Habif Ahmed (25-0-1), agusRoamer Alexis Angulo (23-0).

Ramirez moved up to light heavyweight for his last fight a year ago, when he stopped 29-6-1Tommy Karpency in four rounds, after which Ramirez became a promotional free agent. “Battle of Rio Grande” is his first event as a promoter.

“Promoting is not an easy job,” Ramirez said, “but I have good people behind me. They’ve got my back and we work very well together. I was world champion and now I’m a promoter; I see the big picture. I don’t want to be fighting forever. I started my own promotional company so that when I retire, I will have a good life after boxing. There’s no stress on me as a promoter, the stress is on my team.”

The 6’ 3” Ramirez is a physical specimen who can dunk a basketball and could easily have been a pro athlete in a different sport like football. He follows business trends and by[opening his own promotional company, he’s taking advantages of the new era of boxing, in which he plans to aid fellow boxers, particularly Mexicans, by giving them a larger platform to display their skills.

Working with his opponent in terms of promoting “Battle of Rio Grande” is a sign of two fighters taking control of their careers, as well as being completely independent rather than under a promoter, although Lopez has been promoting in Texas for several years.

“We’ll work together but, an fáinne, he wants my 40-0 Ramirez noted. “I know he’s been training a lot, so he’s going to be faster and stronger, which is good for me because I like fighting good fighters. Everybody wants to take my record, but I’m training (In Santa Monica, SIN MAR) like the champion I am to give fans a good fight. He’s going to bring everything he has into the ring. I expect a good fight. It’s a big opportunity for him. I am fully focused on him because I want the opportunity to be world champion again.”

Lopez will be riding a 10-fight win streak into the ring Dec. 18^ú versus Ramirez in the 12-round main event. His most recent fight was 13 míonna ó shin, when he won a 10-round decision over 19-9-1Denis Grachev in Lopez’ first defense of the NABF title he captured in his previous fight with a fourth-round stoppage of 21-3Alex Theran.

Ramirez isn’t looking past Lopez for future fights against world light heavyweight champions Artur Beterbiev (WBC & IBF) Dmitry Bivol (WBA), because he knows and respects Lopez. The media and public, go ginearálta, underappreciated Lopez and some have taken cheap shots at him in social media.

“Maybe a little but it’s not a big deal,” Lopez responded to being asked if he was undervalued. “I’ve always said that in this busines, everybody has the opportunity to be seen. Gilberto’s beaten quality guys and he’s a world champion. I’ve promoted myself, mostly in Texas, and I’m well respected within the industry. If they really want to see who Gilberto is fighting, tune in, and then make decisions at the end of the fight and maybe they’ll change their mind. Otherwise, they should keep their opinions to themselves instead of reading about me on social media or matching up who we’ve fought.”

Ramirez has a marquee name, and he represents a career-changing opportunity for Lopez, who has captured four titles, including the NABF crown he’ll be defending. Níos mó, “El Tigre” holds victories over solid opponents other than Grachev and Theran, marDyah Davis agusRubin Williams, agus i 2011 Lopez extendedKelly Pavlik the distance in a loss by way of a 10-round majority decision.

Lopez isn’t fighting Ramirez simply for a payday, to the contrary. “Nobody walks into the ring thinking they’re just happy to be there,” Lopez explained. “This fight will establish me as a world-class fighter. I feel that the winner will be the best in our division and the guys walking around with their belts should fight the winner. Gilberto is a great fighter who has a lot of experience as a world champion. He has physical attributes that him difficult to fight. He’s strong and always in great condition. I need to be intelligent, able to read him, and in great shape.

“The fight will be about adjustments. We’ve both been in this game a long time and at this high level of boxing, you need to be smart and strategic, but both of us being Mexican, it could turn into a brawl at any time. People will see why nobody wants to fight either of us. I’m excited and I know he is, too. Boxing fans don’t want to miss it!"

World-rated heavyweightMichael “The Bounty” Hunter will face veteranChauncy “Hillyard Hammer” Welliver (57-13-5, 23 Kos), the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Continental Americas champion, in the 10-round co-featured event.

Trodaithe’ Sleachta(Robert Allen agus Tariq Salmaci Bhí siad ar an nglao freisin ach ní raibh siad in ann labhairt de bharr fadhbanna teicniúla)

HECTOR COLON: “Is breá liom tú guys. Tá sé chomh fada sin. Tá súil agam gur féidir linn cumarsáid mar seo a dhéanamh níos minice. Teastaíonn uainn sibh go léir chun tacú le USA Boxing agus USA Boxing Alumni. Bhí mo chéad troid idirnáisiúnta i Barbadós agus bhuail mé mo chéile comhraic i 26 soicind. Is cuimhin liom mála agus bróga Adidas a fháil. Rud speisialta a bhí ann. Shamhlaigh mé na Cluichí Oilimpeacha a dhéanamh agus ba cheart go mbeadh, ach fuair mé Dia ag glaoch orm ón spórt. Bhí mé bródúil as ag faire ort agus mé fréamhaithe ar do shon. “Tá sé iontach a bheith ar ais i SAM ag Dornálaíocht agus ag tabhairt ar ais do USA Boxing, mar chabhraigh sé liom a bheith mar an duine mé inniu. D'fhéadfadh mé a bheith imithe an bealach mícheart. Déanaimis é seo arís agus leanfaimid orainn ag tabhairt ar ais dár spóirt.”

RAUL MARQUEZ: “Tá lúcháir orm a bheith anseo. Is mór an onóir dom agus is dócha gurb mise an t-aon duine anseo a throid an chuid is mó de na guys anseo. Tá a lán cuimhní cinn agam. Is mór an onóir dom a bheith anseo leat, mo chlann dornálaíochta. Tá sé go hálainn. “Tá a fhios ag gach duine anseo cé chomh deacair is atá sé comórtas a bhuachan. Tá a fhios againn cad a thógann sé mar go raibh muid go léir mionlach. Caithfimid a thabhairt ar ais. Táim fós gafa leis an dornálaíocht.”

ORLANDO HARRIS: “Bhí an t-am is mó agam i USA Boxing. Thosaigh mé go déanach. Throid mé uair amháin sula ndeachaigh mé isteach san arm. D'éirigh mé níos fearr agus d'fhoghlaim mé conas troid san arm. Bhí orm mar bhí orm an mhaith a dhéanamh nó dul ar ais go dtí m'aonad. I ’04 Chuaigh mé i dtimpiste gluaisteáin. Fuair gach duine bás ach mise. Deir siad go bhfuilim faoi mhíchumas, ach níl mé, Bím ag cóitseáil dornálaíochta fós.”

PAULIE AYALA: “Is iad na Trialacha Oilimpeacha ’92 an nóiméad is suntasaí atá agam toisc go raibh mé ann. I 1988, Chaill mé in The Westerns sa bhabhta leathcheannais agus d’fhág mé ag dornálaíocht. Ní raibh mé dírithe. Bhreathnaigh mé daoine ar fheabhas oraibh agus níor throid mé arís go dtí seo 1992. Chaill mé le Sergio (Reyes), a throid mé 16 uair roimh an troid sin. Bhuail mé le go leor daoibh a bhí ag troid sa Rúis. Is é an rud atá spreagúil ná éisteacht leat go léir.”

MONTELL GRIFFIN: “Bhí mé déanach ag dul go dtí an rty, ag teacht isteach 1991. Bhí dhá troid agam ag dul isteach sna Golden Gloves, ach lied mé agus dúirt go raibh mé 12 ionas go raibh mé in ann troid sa osclaíonn. Bhí mo chéad troid i 1991. Bhí orm troid ar an Uimh. 1 Guy, Jeremy Williams, a dhéanamh ar an bhfoireann Oilimpeacha. Glacfar 1 ½ bliain mar a bhí an chuid is fearr de mo shaol. D'fhéach mé suas le gach duine agaibh guys agus tá meas ar chách.”

ECHOLS ANTWUN: “Bhain mé go Team USA é, agus bhí mé i mo mhalartach Oilimpeach. Raul (Marquez), is maith leis a bheith ag caint, agus bhí sceitimíní orm troid leis. D'fhoghlaim mé go leor. Is breá liom a bheith leis na guys go léir. Thóg Larry Nicholson mé faoina sciathán. Labhair sé liom go laethúil. Ba pháiste óg mé, agus ní raibh mo shaol teaghlaigh go maith. Nuair a chuaigh mé go dtí na craobhchomórtais ’92, ba iad na daoine seo mo theaghlach. “Bhí mé amh ar shráideanna Davenport (Iowa) agus thug Larry aire dom…go raibh maith agat. Mura raibh sé ar son na ndaoine ag an Ionad Oilimpeach, Níl a fhios agam cá mbeinn inniu.”

DANNY RIOS: “I 1992, Chaill mé i gcluiche leathcheannais na gCraobh SAM. Mar sin,, Bhí orm na Golden Gloves a bhuachan chun dul go dtí na Cluichí Oilimpeacha. Ag na Trialacha bhuaigh mé mo chéad troid agus chaill mé mo dhara. Chas mé pro níos déanaí. Táim ag obair le slándáil agus ag cabhrú le trodaithe a thraenáil ag giomnáisiam áitiúil. Tá súil agam mo seomra aclaíochta féin a bheith agam. Tá áthas orm tú a fheiceáil i ndiaidh na mblianta seo go léir.

SKIPPER KELP: “Tá mé i Vegas. Bhog mé anseo nuair a bhí mé sa amaitéarach. Ba é an rud is fearr ná an cairdeas. D'fhás muid suas le chéile. Le chéile, tháinig muid in aois mar dhéagóirí agus bhuail mé le roinnt de mo chairde is fearr ar feadh an tsaoil. Bhíomar go léir ag an leibhéal mionlach, an chuid is fearr i gcoinne an chuid is fearr, agus sa deireadh throid muid a chéile. Bhuail mé le go leor guys i 1989 sa Rúis. “Is liom Fight Capital Gym i Las Vegas. Nuair a théann tú go Vegas, glaoch orm agus teacht go dtí mo seomra aclaíochta. Tá bráithreachas againn ar feadh an tsaoil. Tugann dornálaíocht amaitéarach daoine le chéile. Is iontach an rud é athcheangal mar seo.”

DANELL NICHOLSON: “Ba é an nóiméad is suntasaí a bhí agam ná ionadaíocht a dhéanamh ar USA Boxing ag an 1992 Cluichí Oilimpeacha, mar rinneadh Oilimpeach dom agus bhuail mé leis na lúthchleasaithe iontacha seo go léir. Is cuimhin liom bualadh leat. Ní féidir leat an dornálaíocht a bhualadh!”

RONALD SIMMS: “Is dócha go raibh mé ar an bhfoireann amaitéarach níos faide ná aon duine. D'fhan mé chomh fada sin go bhfuil go leor cuimhní cinn agam. Bhí mé mar chuid den 1988, 1992 agus 1996 Foirne Oilimpeacha. Chonaic mé go leor tallainne ag teacht tríd. Thosaigh me i 1995; tá an spórt seo andúileach agus táim fós gafa leis an dornálaíocht amaitéarach. Tá na páistí is cumasaí againn fós sa dornálaíocht amaitéarach. “Ba é mo bhrionglóid an Fhoireann Oilimpeach a dhéanamh agus níl sé déanta agam fós. Ba é an sprioc a bhí agam ná Uimh. 1 agus bhí mé i 1995. Ansin, Theastaigh uaim éirí as, ach dúirt mo chóitseálaí nárbh é an t-am é. Is éard atá i gceist leis na ceachtanna a d'fhoghlaim mé uait agus a roinnt le páistí. Táim san India ag obair mar phríomhchóitseálaí, ag déanamh an rud is breá liom.”

PAUL Téim: “Tá áthas orm gach duine a fheiceáil. Tá an oiread sin cuimhní cinn agam, Is é an rud is mó i gcuimhne duit a fheiceáil, mo dheartháireacha dornálaíochta. Rinneamar oiliúint le chéile chun ainmneacha a dhéanamh dúinn féin. Beidh sé seo againn i gcónaí chun dul siar air. Faighim mothúchánach. Is cuma cén áit ar tháinig tú, do luachanna eacnamaíocha, agus bhíomar san iomaíocht i gcoinne a chéile. Ach ag deireadh an lae bhí meas againn ar a chéile. “Is cainteoir agus údar mé inniu. Is é an rud a d’fhoghlaim mé sa dornálaíocht ná an fáth a bhfuil mé in ann an rud a dhéanaim a dhéanamh. Go raibh maith agat. Tá sé seo go hálainn. Gabhaim buíochas libh go léir a fheiceáil.”

SÉAMUS JOHNSON: “Tá sé iontach cuid de na aghaidheanna seo a fheiceáil, Tá sé iontach tú a fheiceáil, guys! Is cuimhin liom an Fhéile Oilimpeach. Randall Crippen. Bhí sé cainteach……Thug mé dioplóma dó ag deireadh an chluiche. “Bhris mé mo lámh san iomaíocht agus ní ligfeadh siad dom troid. Rinne mé agus tharraing mé leanbh baile dúchais isteach (Worcester) Massachusetts, Bobby Harris, agus bhuaigh. Le lámh amháin, Chaill mé sa chluiche ceannais. Is maith sibh a fheiscint. Tá mé i mo chónaí i Flint, Michigan. Chuaigh mé ar aghaidh chun mo ghairm bheatha sa choláiste a fháil agus inniu is innealtóir líonra mé.”

DEAN FLETCHER: “Bhí mé amaitéarach ar feadh i bhfad. Tá go leor cuimhní cinn agam, ach is é ceann amháin na blianta a bhí mé ar an mBord Stiúrthóirí mar ionadaí lúthchleasaí. Páistí inniu, is é an fáth nach féidir leat troid dhá uair sa lá. “An taisteal, Ní féidir liom ligean dó sin dul. Nuair nach bhfuil rudaí ag dul go maith, Smaoiním ar mo laethanta amaitéaracha. Ní dhéanfaidh aon ní ach grá duit guys.”

LARRY NICHOLSON: “Is é mo rudaí is mó i gcuimhne a bheith ar an 1993 Boxer na Bliana. Bhain mé go leor amach. Bhuaigh mé airgead ag an 1993 agus 1994 Craobhchomórtais an Domhain. Ba chóir go raibh óir. Ba trodaithe agus eiseamláirí iontacha sibh. Bhí deis agam dul go dtí an coláiste – Ollscoil Michigan Thuaidh – agus tá céim agam. “Táim fós páirteach sa dornálaíocht inniu mar phríomhchóitseálaí ar na Michigan Golden Gloves. Táim an-sásta san áit a bhfuilim faoi láthair. Ní dheachaigh mé pro mar is breá liom dornálaíocht amaitéarach, an smacht agus an saol. D'oibrigh mé le trí fhoireann Oilimpeacha. Rinneamar go maith mar dheartháireacha frat.”

MARC LANTON: “Is mór an pléisiúr gach éinne mar seo a fheiceáil. Ba é an nóiméad is suntasaí a bhí agam ná Trialacha an Iarthair a bhuachan. Bhí mé i mo shaighdiúir Airm nuair a bhí mé i mo throdaire amaitéarach. San Iaráic, uaireanta, Choinnigh Frank Vassar i dteagmháil liom. Táim ar scor anois ón arm. D'oibrigh mé ag an VA mar oifigeach póilíní feidearálach. Tá mé ar scor go hiomlán. Déanaim cóitseáil leanaí ag giomnáisiam áitiúil agus tá mé ag maireachtáil an tsaoil in Orlando.

FRANK VASSAR: “Féile Spóirt Oilimpeach SAM agus Lámhainní Órga Náisiúnta a bhuachan i 1999 ba chuimhneach liom. Bhí mé san Arm, na Gardaí Náisiúnta, nuair a bhí mé ag dornálaíocht. Fuair mé coimisiún san Aerfhórsa. Rinne mé trí thuras comhraic agus gortaíodh mé. Rudaí craiceáilte. Tá áthas orm gur thug mé ar ais é. Bhain mé an-taitneamh as dul go dtí na comórtais agus tú a fheiceáil i gcónaí. Is breá liom tú go léir guys.”

RICHARD BANNAÍ: I 1989, Is cuimhin liom troid Jeremy Williams. Ba é an duine is fearr é agus chuir sin ar an léarscáil mé. Na ceithre bliana ina dhiaidh sin bhí mé ag dul go Colorado agus b'fhearr sin. Ba mhac léinn coláiste mé agus fuair mé céim ceartais choiriúil in Ollscoil Memphis. Bhuail mé le Echols ag dé. Thiocfaimis le chéile trí nó ceithre huaire sa bhliain, b'fhéidir níos mó agus nuair a chonaic tú duine éigin bhí sé cosúil le inné. “I 1992, Theastaigh uaim an fhoireann Oilimpeach a dhéanamh. Chaill mé mo chéad troid i Worcester agus ní raibh go dtí na Cluichí Oilimpeacha. Ní raibh ach 12 ranganna meáchain agus bhí mé ar cheann de na guys. Is tú mo dheartháireacha.”

IN THE RING WITH HECTOR “MACHO” CAMACHO: PAST OPPONENTS SHARE THEIR STORIES AND INSIGHTS ABOUT THE LEGENDARY WORLD CHAMPION

MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY Premieres Friday, Nollaig 4 ag 9 PM ET/PT on SHOWTIME ^®

Description automatically generated — *Courtesy of SHOWTIME*

NEW YORK – November 24, 2020 – Past opponents of legendary boxing icon Hector “Macho” Camacho, including “Sugar” Ray Leonard, Felix “Tito” Trinidad and Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, share their first-hand experiences with the former world champion and recall his trademark flamboyant style in advance of the MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY documentary premiere Friday, Nollaig 4 ag 9 p.m. ET / PT ar Showtime.

MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY is an unflinching look at the remarkable life, storied career and unsolved murder of one of boxing’s greatest showmen. Through rare and revealing interviews with his mother, Maria Matias, sisters, wife Amy and son Hector Jr., the documentary also delves into the legendary fighter’s troubled mind and spirit, his battle with addiction and the inner turmoil that ultimately led to his demise – a mysterious double homicide on a roadside in November 2012. The film isdirected by two-time Emmy^® Award winner Eric Drath. Drath and Danielle Naassana, both of Live Star Entertainment, served as producers and sixteen-time Emmy Award winner Aaron Cohen served as writer and consulting producer.

In addition to Leonard, Trinidad and Roach, past world champions Ray Mancini, Greg Haugen, Vinny Pazienza and more reminisce about climbing into the ring against the flashy and skilled Hector “Macho” Camacho:

SUGAR RAY LEONARD – March 1, 1997; In Ray Leonard’s final career fight, Camacho won by fifth-round TKO: “We were both naturally past our prime, but I just felt that I was a bigger man. I was smarter, níos láidre, all those things, but the first time he threw a punch, bhí sé cosúil, Pow! And I said, ‘Wow, that hurt.’ I tried the best I could to just go the distance. When he was at his best, he was a thing of beauty.”

FELIX “TITO” TRINIDAD - Eanáir 29, 1994; IBF Welterweight Title: “I first met Macho Camacho when I was 12 years old at an indoor arena event in Puerto Rico. He was already a world champion. I was in awe. Camacho was talking to everyone and being himself. He ate 12 empanadas at once just to be funny.

“When I got to fight him, it was my third title defense. Bhí mé 21 and he was 10 years older than me. He had so much experience and played so many mind games. At the final press conference, he sat at the very end of the table – sideways, kind of ignoring the press – and staring at me. When it was his time to talk, he just talked trash. He was such a showman. When we got in the ring in Las Vegas, like every fighter at a crossroads fight, I was a little nervous. He was such a great fighter. He was so experienced and technical. He was a little crazy but was such a good person. Humble.

“After the fight, he came over with his chin down and congratulated me. He was like a different person – he was so friendly and calm. ‘It was a good fight,’ he told me. ‘You are going to be a great champion. Keep on climbing.’ It was a great experience for me. After that fight, I felt something had changed in me as a fighter. I had shared a ring with Macho Camacho. You are never the same after that. He helped me be a better fighter. He was the first Puerto Rican I ever faced. The only fighter that cut me. I got my win against him the same night [Frankie] Randall handed Julio Cesar Chavez his first defeat. It was a historic night.”

FREDDIE ROACH – December 18, 1985; Camacho won a super lightweight bout via unanimous decision to improve to 28-0: “Hector Camacho was the best boxer I ever fought. His speed was unbelievable. At one point during the fight, we were in a clinch and I bit his shoulder. He stepped back, smiled, and told me, ‘That’s not going to work.’ He was right. I had so much trouble handling his speed. You just couldn’t prepare for it – and I had a really good training camp. I was really up for that fight. I think I won one round and that was only because I stepped on his foot and got a knock down. After the fight, we bumped into each other in our hotel lobby and he took me to dinner at the hotel restaurant. We talked and laughed throughout dinner. He was a great guy.”

RAY MANCINI – March 6, 1989; Camacho won a split decision for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight title: “Hector had an uncanny ability to avoid punches. He had excellent hand speed, movement and reflexes. He got in the ring with everybody. And he was funny as hell. Ar dtús, I couldn’t stand him. But once we were retired, we buried the hatchet and every time we’d see each other, it was hugs and laughs. He made everyone laugh. He was a good soul. I was heartbroken when I heard the news about his murder. In my book, when you talk about all-time greats, he is in the top five for Puerto Rican fighters and top 20 for Latino fighters.”

GREGHAUGEN – February 23, agus Bealtaine 18, 1991; Camacho’s first career loss and the rematch for WBO Jr. Welterweight World Championship: “Camacho was looking for a tune-up fight for the big battle of the undefeateds with Julio Cesar Chavez so that’s how I got the fight. But I had studied his fights and I knew Hector only liked to fight a minute, minute and a half of each round. My plan going into the fight was to make him fight three minutes of each round. I was hitting him with body shots and he was wincing. And plus, I was talking to him the whole fight, so he was getting frustrated. So we get to the 12^ú round and he ends up sucker punching me before the start of the round because I refused to touch gloves, and they end up taking a point from him which won me the fight. (Sa rematch) he was so sure he lost the fight, he actually left the ring after the fight. The promoter Dan Duva had to pull him out of his dressing room and basically talk him into getting back in the ring to hear the decision. He had to win that fight because that would line him up with Chavez. I thought I beat him more so in the second fight than the first fight.”

VINNY PAZIENZA – February 3, 1990; Camacho won a unanimous decision for the WBO Junior Welterweight title: “I thought I was going to wreck him. I thought I was going to go right through him. But he was much stronger and much faster than I believed. And I was thinking, ‘Oh God, I’m in for a long night.’ He got ready for me like no other fight. He was so amped and so ready. He got off all the drugs. He wasn’t drinking. He got up so high and after he beat me, he was never the same again. Hector was such a character. He surpasses me in that capacity. He was a wild guy and he was wild his whole life.”

PJ GOOSSEN – June 18, 1999; Camacho won a unanimous decision at the age of 37 to improve his record to 68-4-1: “That was a bad night for me. I had three broken ribs, and no one really knew it. Mar sin,, I could barely breathe, let alone fight, but that’s what you have to do in boxing sometimes. As we were getting ready for the fight, his dressing room was right next to mine and they had this door separating us. I could hear him before the fight yelling, ‘Macho time!’ ‘Macho time!’ And he hits the wall. And he keeps doing that, yelling louder and louder. Bhuel, he hit the door so hard it busted through and he fell into my dressing room. Mar sin,, he gets up and walks back in around through the other opening and says, ‘Sorry about that.’ It was actually pretty funny and me and my dad and brother were laughing. To come back in and apologize when he’s supposed to be getting hyped up to fight me. I would mark him down as one of the best lefthanders there ever was, especially when he was at featherweight and lightweight.”

Tá tionchar láidir ag Johnny Tapia, nach maireann

Albuquerque dornálaí amaitéarach Sharahya-Taina Moreu

2020 Náisiúnaigh Dornálaíochta SAM, Nollaig. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Samhain 23, 2020) - An déanach, dornálaí mór Hall of Fame Johnny tapia Bhí ról suntasach aige i bhforbairt meáchain welter Albuquerque Sharahya-Taina Moreu, agus tá tionchar láidir fós ag curadh an domhain 3 rannán ina saol.

Le linn na paindéime COVID-19 tá sí ag ullmhú chun dul san iomaíocht sa 2020 USA Comórtas Náisiúnta Dornálaíochta, Nollaig 5-12, ag Ionad Comhdhála Shreveport i Shreveport, Louisiana.

Tapia (a thaispeántar thíos lena tattooed ar ais go Moreu) chuidigh Sharahya-Taina an tragóid a d’athraigh an saol mar gheall ar thimpiste gluaisteán a máthar a shárú. Ní raibh sí ach ocht gcinn ag an am, ag breith ar a máthair tar éis na timpiste, agus an chéad duine amach as an gcarr agus isteach ar an mhórbhealaigh ag lorg cabhrach.

“Ar dtús,” labhair sí faoina caidreamh le Tapia, “Bhí brón agus fearg orm, dul isteach i troideanna agus ar chonair olc. Chuaigh mé isteach sa dornálaíocht ag 12, ghlac bainistíocht fearg, agus tháinig spreagadh.”

Tapia, a bhí ina churaidh na Lámhainní Órga Náisiúnta 2 uair mar amaitéarach, Bhí tionchar iontach aige ar shaol Moreu, rud nach bhfágfaidh go deo ina croí agus ina anam.

“Bhí muid cosúil le teaghlach,” a mhínigh an duine 21 bliain d'aois. “Ar dtús, sé (Johnny) níor thaitin dornálaíocht cailíní, mar sin d'oibrigh sé go dian orm. Ba imreoir cispheile maith mé agus lean sé ag rá liom dul ag imirt cispheile. Ach tháinig sé ina dhuine mór i mo shaol, I mo thuairimse,, mar bhí mo mháthair caillte agam ag aois chomh óg. Chuidigh sé liom isteach agus amach as an bhfáinne ar go leor bealaí. Bhí Johnny Tapia an ceann is deise, an fear is suaraí dár bhuail mé riamh. Bhí muid teaghlaigh go dtí gur thit an seomra aclaíochta as a chéile. Níor chuir sé oiliúint orm ach ar feadh timpeall ocht mí, ach mhúin sé dom go sainmhíníonn dornálaíocht tú mar dhuine. Mothaím slán sa bhfáinne. Is duine níos fearr mé mar gheall ar Johnny agus an dornálaíocht.”

Traenáil lena hathair/cóisteIarúibis Moreu le linn na paindéime, cé go raibh sé dúshlánach sparring maith a fháil, ní raibh an oiread sin fadhb ag daoine eile toisc go bhfuil a seomra aclaíochta sa chúlchlós. Níl sí i mbun troda ó na Trialacha Oilimpeacha i mí na Nollag seo caite.

“Tá mé ar bís dul ar ais sa bhfáinne mar tá mé imithe rófhada gan iomaíocht,” Bhreathnaigh Moreu ar Shreveport. “Is cinnte go mbeidh sé difriúil, mar tá alán aghaidheanna nua ag teacht don uimhir a haon láthair, rud a dhéanann spraoi agus fiú troid."

Bródúil as ionadaíocht a dhéanamh ar na Stáit Aontaithe i gcomórtas, Tá Sharahya-Taina bródúil as a hoidhreacht Meiriceánach Dúchasach agus Pórtó Ríce, agus tá sí tógtha leis an gcúis ag troid ar son na mban.

“Is breá liom glacadh leis an dá thaobh de mo chultúr,” a dúirt sí, “a dhéanann ionadaíocht ar mo thaobh Acoma ó mo mháthair agus de shliocht Taino ón fhuil Puerto Rican ionam, agus sin an fáth a bhfuil mo ainm Sharahya-Taina. Is troid do mhná gach lá. Nílim ach ag cur in iúl go soiléir go bhfuilimid anseo le fanacht. Nílim ag troid ach ar mo shon féin. Táim ag troid ar son mo mhuintire freisin, sinsear agus an chéad ghlúin eile baineannaigh a roghnaíonn péire lámhainní a phiocadh suas. Ní hé an sprioc a bheith ach mar champ sa fáinne, ach ar an taobh amuigh, freisin.”

D’éirigh thar barr le Moreu ina forbairt ón óige go dtí an rannóg mionlach, bhuaigh an 2017 Craobhchomórtais Náisiúnta na nÓg agus Oscailte Réigiúnach an Iarthair, chomh maith leis an 2016 agus 2017 Óige Oscailte. Tá sí sa dara háit freisin ag an 2018 Craobhchomórtais Náisiúnta Mionlach agus Cáilitheoir Mionlach an Iarthair, móide an 2015 Na Cluichí Oilimpeacha Sóisearacha Náisiúnta.

Bean óg ar mhisean í Sharahya-Taina Moreu. Tá súil aici dul san iomaíocht sa 2024 Na cluichí Oilimpeacha i Bpáras, go háirithe lena deartháir níos óige má cháiligh an bheirt acu le bheith, mar a deir sí, “Deartháir/deirfiúr íocónach sa dornálaíocht Oilimpeach.”

UNBEATEN INTERIM WBA SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION CHRIS COLBERT BATTLES HARD-HITTING JAIME ARBOLEDA LIVE ON SHOWTIME® SATURDAY, Nollaig 12 IN AN EVENT PRESENTED BY PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS

Middleweight Contenders Matt Korobov and Ronald Ellis Clash

in Co-Main Event; Rising Super Lightweight Prospect Richardson Hitchins Takes on Former World Champion Argenis Mendez in Telecast Opener

NUA-EABHRAC – Samhain 20, 2020 – Two of the top fighters in the 130-pound division will meet when unbeaten interim WBA Super Featherweight ChampionChris “Primetime” Colbertfaces the hard-hittingJaime Arboledai gcás is mó deShowtime Dornálaíocht: EAGRÁN SPEISIALTA Dé Sathairn, Nollaig 12 ag 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., in imeacht curtha i láthair ag Premier Boxing Champions.

The tripleheader, originally scheduled for November 28, will see middleweight contendersMatt KorobovagusRonald Ellisbattle in the 10-round co-main event and rising super lightweight phenomRichardson Hitchinstaking on the toughest test of his young career as he faces former world championArgenis Mendezin a 10-round telecast opener. The event is promoted by TGB Promotions and Sampson Boxing. Hitchins vs. Mendez is co-promoted by Mayweather Promotions.

Nordine Oubaali vs. Nonito Donaire was originally scheduled to take place on December 12 but was postponed after Oubaali tested positive for COVID-19.

“This main event on December 12 will pit two of the 130-pound division’s most exciting rising talents against each other as the sublimely skilled Chris Colbert faces the powerful Jaime Arboleda in a can’t-miss showdown,"A dúirt Tom Brown, Uachtarán na Tionscnaimh TGB. “The co-main event will see two middleweight contenders in Matt Korobov and Ronald Ellis looking to show that they’re among the division’s elite, while the SHOWTIME opener features the exciting prospect Richardson Hitchins against the always tough Argenis Mendez in a big step up fight. These are three evenly-matched bouts that should make for nonstop drama on fight night.”

Representing his native Brooklyn, N.Y., Colbert (14-0, 5 Kos) has quickly shot up the 130-pound rankings, taking on high-level competition in his first 14 troideanna pro. The 24-year-old beat then-undefeated fighters Austin Dulay, Titus Williams and Antonio Dubose, all in his first eight fights as a professional. I 2019, Colbert added four more victories to his tally, including an explosive first-round knockout of veteran Miguel Beltran Jr. An chuid is mó le déanaí, Colbert won his interim title by dropping former super featherweight champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a unanimous decision in their January 2020 clash.

“I’m super excited to be making my big stage debut in the main event,” said Colbert. “It’s been a long camp, but training is going great. I’m looking to put on a dominant performance, and I’m looking for the knockout if it’s there. If I can get it, that would be splendid. I know Jaime is going to come to fight. He wants the belt as bad as I want to keep the belt. It’s all going to come down to stamina, ring IQ and who has the greater will to win. I feel like I’m the guy for the job. There’s no way in hell I’m giving up my belt in my first defense.”

The 26-year-old Arboleda (16-1, 13 Kos) has amassed an impressive six-fight winning streak heading into the matchup against Colbert, with five of those victories coming inside of the distance. Born in Curundu, Panama, and now fighting out Miami, Fla. Arboleda has fought professionally since 2014 and scored knockouts over two then-undefeated opponents in 2019, Victor Betancourt and Jose Saant. Ina troid seo caite, Arboleda, who is ranked fourth in the 130-pound division by the WBA, bested former world title contender Jayson Velez by unanimous decision to win his first 12-round fight this February on SHOWTIME.

“Every boxer’s dream is to fight for a title and be victorious without leaving any doubt,” said Arboleda. “That is my plan for December 12. I’m having the best preparation of my entire career. Is dóigh liom go hiontach, strong and fast like never before. I’m sure it will be a very exciting fight from the very first round.”

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 Kos) returns to action after losing his December 2019 clash against Chris Eubank Jr. when he suffered a shoulder injury that forced the fight to end in the second round. Korobov, who notched 300 wins as a decorated amateur, came into that fight off of a majority draw against Immanuwel Aleem, after serving notice to the middleweight division that he would be a threat when he lost a hard-fought decision to undefeated middleweight champion Jermall Charlo in December. Born in Orotukan, Rúis, and now living in St. Petersburg, Fla, Korobov was a late replacement and gave Charlo a tougher fight than many experts expected. Korobov had been riding a four-fight win streak before the Charlo fight, following his first professional defeat against Andy Lee in a 2014 middleweight title fight.

“I am excited to be back in a PBC event on SHOWTIME December 12,” said Korobov. “I have a difficult opponent, but I expect to win and prove that I am back and even better prepared. I must win against Ellis in order to get Jermall Charlo back in the ring. Ar ndóigh, I believe I beat Charlo, but that is the past. Ellis is in my future, and I am coming to show I am still one of the best middleweights in the world.”

The 31-year-old Ellis (17-1-2, 11 Kos) will look to build off of his last outing, which saw him edge fellow contender Immanuwel Aleem by majority decision in December 2019. For Ellis, that fight got him back in the win column after his first career defeat, a majority decision against DeAndre Ware in March 2019. The Lynn, Mass.-native is the older brother of welterweight Rashidi Ellis, and had an impressive amateur career including a 2010 National Golden Gloves championship capped off by a victory over Terrell Gausha.

“It’s time for me to show out on December 12,” said Ellis. “Korobov had his chance against the top middleweights, and now it’s my time to take advantage of this opportunity and use a win over him to reach that level. We’re working hard in San Diego sparring with Canelo Alvarez so that everything is perfect and I’m at my best on fight night.”

A native of Brooklyn, Hitchins (11-0, 5 Kos) iompú pro i 2017 after representing Haiti at the 2016 Cluichí Oilimpeacha. The 23-year-old has flashed impressive skills as he’s amassed an unbeaten record in the pro ranks, which is the product of an extensive amateur career. Hitchins scored four victories in 2019, before debuting in 2020 with a decision victory over Nicholas DeLomba. In his first two 10-round bouts as a professional, the southpaw has scored decisive unanimous decisions.

“I don’t overlook any opponent, but I believe I have a better and sharper skillset than Mendez,” said Hitchins. “I have all of the intangibles to become a world champion. That’s often mistaken as being cocky, but it’s really just me believing in myself more than anyone else. I will take this fight seriously like I do any other fight and continue to do what I do in order to get one step closer to that title shot. Being in camp with Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis, I’ve learned a lot. I feel like I have to one-up the competition. They really pushed me to be a better fighter.”

A former super featherweight champion, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 Kos) has a reputation for providing stiff challenges to the sport’s best and has proven to be a durable contender at 140-pounds. I 2019, Mendez fought to back-to-back draws against super lightweight contenders, first against Anthony Peterson in March and then against the unbeaten Juan Heraldez in May. Born in San Juan de La Maguana, An Phoblacht Dhoiminiceach, Mendez now fights out of Yonkers, N.Y.. and owns victories over Eddie Ramirez, Ivan Redkach and former titlist Miguel Vazquez. He has also gone toe-to-toe with former champions Rances Barthelemy and Robert Easter Jr.

“I’m facing a young prospect who’s hungry for success, but I’m hungrier today than I’ve ever been in my career and I have the experience to go along with it,” said Mendez. “I’m also extremely motivated for this fight, which isn’t good news for Hitchins. When fight time comes on December 12, you’ll witness an intelligent but more aggressive Argenis Mendez.”

Undefeated lightweight prospect JAMAINE “THE TECHNICIAN” ORTIZ Hopes to Steal Tyson-Jones Junior Show

Samhain 27, 2020 FNU47 Leave a comment

WORCESTER, Aifreann. (Samhain 17, 2020) – Undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine "An Teicneoir" Ortiz (13-0, 7 Kos), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, hopes to steal the show on the November 28^ú Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view card, presented by Tyson’s Legends Only League, at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The 24-year-old Ortiz, fighting out of Worcester, Massachusetts, will fight on the undercard against Maryland southpawSulaiman Segawa (13-2-1, 4 Kos) in an 8-round bout for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (U.S) lightweight title.

“I feel good and I’m ready,” Ortiz said. “I’m privileged for this opportunity to fight on the Tyson-Jones card and get good exposure. I hope to steal the show. As a kid, I followed them both, especially Jones. I tried to imitate him”

Like all fighters, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected his career, although he has managed to train, albeit in various gyms and mostly by himself.

“It wasn’t too bad,” added Ortiz, who is an apprentice carpenter. “Not all of the facilities I use to train were open. Early on, I trained by myself, and did a lot of running. We were quarantined until late June, early July, but then I was able to get good sparring. So, tríd is tríd, it wasn’t too much of a change.”

Ortiz is promoted byJimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports) and advised byRichard Shappy agusEddie Imondi.

“We’re happy our fighter, Jamaine Ortiz, will be getting such great exposure and he will show the world what we already know here in New England,” Shappy commented. “Jamaine ‘The Technician’ Ortiz is a force that will have to be reckoned with.”
