Decorated U.S. amateur boxer Angel Gonzalez, Jr. to make pro debut on “Fight Night In Framingham” card
Fighting Life charity event,
Maart 20th at Sheraton Hotel
FRAMINGHAM, Massa. (Maart 4, 2020) – The long-awaited professional debut of decorated amateurAngel Gonzalez, Jr. will take place Friday night, Maart 20, on the “Fight Night In Framingham” card, presented by Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP), at Sheraton Framingham Hotel in Framingham, Massachusetts.
“Fight Night In Framingham”, the first pro boxing event ever in Framingham, is being held for the benefit ofFighting Life, an after-school youth boxing and academic empowerment program, available 100-percent free of charge, to students beginning in elementary school through high school education.
Gonzalez hasn’t fought in three years, since he moved from his native Hartford, CT to Florida. “It took me a while to settle in after I moved to Florida,” Gonzalez explained. “I’ve been going to a gym and now I’m on track and coming back to turn pro. I have the talent for bigger and better things.”
The 26-year-olldf super flyweight had a 45-6 amateur-record, highlighted by three New England Golden Gloves, two Ringside National and 2014 National PAL championships.
The problem for Gonzalez, hoewel, is finding appropriate opponents, especially where he was a standout amateur. Right now, he’s still without a signed opponent, largely because there are so few 115-pound boxers in America outside of California and the Southwest. “Most super flyweights are from Mexico, Japan, or other foreign countries,” Gonzalez said. “It doesn’t matter to me who I fight. I can slug or box, depending on my opponent. If he’s taller, I’ll fight on the inside; if shorter, I’ll box from the outside. I’ll adjust to my opponent. My best punch is my right. It’s solid and deadly.”
“I’ve offered this fight to guys with 5 naar 10 fights and after consideration,” promoterChuck Shearns uitgelegd, “they have declined to fight Angel. These lower weight classes can be hard enough to match, never mind against Angel. What you find is that these smaller guys need to step up their competition earlier than other weight classes, because it’s simply a smaller pool of fighters. We will see what Angel has very early in his career.”
Two unbeaten pro “graduates” of the Fighting Life Boxing Program, super featherweightsTimmy Ramos (5-0-2, 5 KO) enNelson “Chino” Perez (2-0, 2 KO), zullen in actie, respectievelijk, in the main event and co-featured event.

TOMMY SANTIAGO LOOKS FOR MULTI-SPORT SUCCESS AND A KIDNEY FOR DAD
Son of Sandman Jarel Pemberton added to “Fight Night In Framingham” card
Fighting Life charity event,
Maart 20th at Sheraton Hotel
FRAMINGHAM, Massa. (February27, 2020) – The son of Sandman, Jarel “Sandman” Pemberton, returns to the ring for the first time in nearly two years on the “Fight Night In Framingham” card, presented by Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP), Maart 20, at Sheraton Framingham Hotel in Framingham, Massachusetts.
“Fight Night In Framingham”, the first pro boxing event ever in Framingham, is being held for the benefit ofFighting Life, an after-school youth boxing and academic empowerment program, available 100-percent free of charge, to students beginning in elementary school through high school education.
The 28-year-old super middleweight Pemberton (3-0, 1 KO), fighting out of Revere, MA, is the son of one of New England’s all-time favorite boxers, Scott Pemberton (29-5-1, 24 KO), the former NABF and IBU World super middleweight champion. Pemberton was a blood-and-guts, highly entertaining type fighter best remembered for a pair of Fight of the Year candidates versusOmar Sheika.
Scott named his son, Jarel, after Superman’s father, but he never forced him into boxing. “Me boxing had a lot to do with him,” Jarel said, “but he never pushed me into boxing. I did go to a lot of his fights when I was young.
“Dad saw a Superman movie and named me Jarel after Superman’s father. I think it’s a great name, it kind of shaped my life because I’m a real comic-book nerd today.”
Jarel played football and basketball at Dartmouth (MA) Hoog, where two of his teammates went on to play in the National Football League, Jordan Todman and close friendArthur Lynch. Jarel joined the U.S. Marines and he did two tours in Afghanistan as a machine gunner. He didn’t start boxing until after he was honorably discharged, turning pro at 27.
“I wish I started boxing when I was a kid,” he added, “but I didn’t box until after I got out of the military. People tell me I hit hard; I do have natural power.”
Pemberton, who is on the permanent reserve list to become a Revere Firefighter, is ready to get back in the ring on a regular basis, especially after being out of the ring nearly two years.
“I’m back in boxing for the long run,” he admitted. I’d like to fight a few times in the next few months. I’m getting in top shape for this fight and that’s a lot better than getting beat up in training by (22-0, 14 KOs welterweight from Lynn, MA) Rashidi Ellis. I’m bigger than him but he’s so fast.”
Pemberton is matched against veteran Texas fighterLarry “Slomoshun” Smith (10-43-1, 7 KO) in een 4-ronde Bout.
Two unbeaten pro “graduates” of the Fighting Life Boxing Program, super featherweightsTimmy Ramos (5-0-2, 5 KO) enNelson “Chino” Perez (2-0, 2 KO), are fighting in the main event and co-feature, respectively.

Ongeslagen lichtgewicht prospect Jamaine "The Technician" Ortiz Set voor de thuiskomstgevecht van vrijdag
WORCESTER, Massa. (Februari 26, 2020) - Ongeslagen World Boxing Council (WBC) Jeugdwereldkampioen lichtgewichtJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz (12-0, 6 KO) is van plan om aanstaande vrijdag een belangrijke verklaring af te leggen als hij thuis in Worcester vecht, Massachusetts, voor het eerst als professionele bokser.
Ortiz kopt aCES Boksen op UFC FIGHT PASS® evenement, gepromoot door Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES), in het historische Worcester Palladium.
In de 8-ronde belangrijkste gebeurtenis, Ortiz wordt geconfronteerd met een Mexicaanse knock-outspecialist"Gekke" Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-5, 17 KO), een voormalig WBC FECOMBOX lichtgewicht kampioen, in een niet-titelgevecht.
"Ik ben klaar,”Zei Ortiz na een recente open training. "Het is goed om zoveel steun te krijgen. Ik heb veel mensen die naar de gevechten komen. Naar mij, Ik heb maar één baan - winnen! En ik zou graag op spectaculaire wijze winnen. Ik wil iedereen in het Palladium en degenen die kijken op UFC FIGHT PASS laten zien dat het allemaal echt is, geen hype achter mijn naam. Iedereen die vrijdagavond kijkt, weet wat ik de ring in breng. "
Ortiz, 23, is een bliksemsnelle, begaafd lichtgewicht met een enorm voordeel. Een gedecoreerde amateur, Ortiz is een rijzende ster in wat volgens velen een doorbraakjaar voor hem zal zijn.
"Jamaine heeft zeker niet zijn volledige potentieel bereikt,"Ortiz’ hoofdtrainerRocky Gonzalez merkte op. "Hij is nog jong en alles wat hij echt nodig heeft, is meer ervaring. Hij is een goede luisteraar met een grote handsnelheid, en hij schakelt (standpunten) gemakkelijk. En hij gelooft echt in zichzelf en het is moeilijk om zo iemand te verslaan. Ik kan het hart niet leren, maar dat heeft hij ook. Ik weet niet hoever hij kan gaan, nog niet, maar hij is getalenteerd en komt nog lang niet in de buurt van een afgewerkt product. "

Kendo “Tremendo” Castaneda In Florida for first time but on important business trip
This Friday showdown vs. unbeaten NABO champion Yomar “The Magic” Alamo
LAS VEGAS (Februari 27, 2020) – Undefeated super lightweightKendo "Enorme" Castaneda (17-0, 8 KO) flew into Orlando from his native San Antonio this past Tuesday night on his first visit to Florida.
Unlike millions of people who go to Orlando for Disneyworld, hoewel, Castaneda’s initial look at palm trees is simply part of his business trip. Castaneda challenges North American Boxing Organization (BUURMAN) kampioenYomar “The Magic” Alamo (17-0-1, 12 KO) in this Friday night’s 10-round main event, airing live on Boxeo Telemundo, vanaf 11:30 p.m. EN / 8:30 p.m. PT, from Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.
Alamo vs. Castaneda is co-promoted by All-Star Boxing, which promotes Alamo and the event, and Castaneda’s promoter, Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boksen Promotions.
“It’s pretty cool here,” Castaneda shared his first impressions of Florida. “A guy working for the promoter met us at the airport to film my arrival and interview me, so it’s been a welcoming experience, and people in Florida know I’m in the house. I like it here. It’s nice and in a way, I feel like I’m at home. I’m going to put on a show for fans, I’m going to be like their Disney World. I’m ready for the big ride and to put on a great show for the people.”
Castaneda captured the vacant North American Boxing Association (Ook) crown a year ago, taking a 10-round decision from previously undefeatedGilbert Venegas, Jr.(10-0), and followed that with an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over Dominican veteranEudy Berbardo (24-3).
Last October in Reno, Nevada, Castaneda stoppedStan Martyniouk (20-3) in the sixth round, after which he was installed by the World Boxing Organization as its No. 15 rated super lightweight in the world.
WBO No. 8 ranked Alamo, fighting out of Puerto Rico, is coming off the only blemish on either fighter’s pro record, fighting to a draw withAntonio Moran (24-4-1).
Alamo, 24, is the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World and FECARBOX super lightweight champion, who has made three successful NABO title defenses.
“After this fight,” Castaneda concluded, “people are going to forget this Alamo (not the famous Alamo in Castaneda’s hometown) and remember me, The Tremendous One. I expect the fight t to end in a spectacular knockout in my favor, late in the fight, because I like to punish my opponent.”
