Danbury Fight Night Card Set For May 30
Danbury, CT (Maijs 6, 2015)– Par 30. maijs Prize Promotions presents their first professional boxing card, Danbury Fight Night, taking place at the Danbury Arena, Danbury, CT. This action packed card is loaded with some of Connecticut’s fastest rising stars, and will be headlined by the much anticipated return of former amateur sensation, and undefeated professional Tramaine “Mighty Midget” Williams.
Williams (8-0 2Kos) out of New Haven, CT, turned pro at the age of 19 after a stellar amateur career, winning his first 8 pro fights in under a year and a half. Legal issues in 2013, halted Williams’ fast track to stardom. After over a year and a half layoff, Williams is set to make his return and reclaim the momentum and buzz that he created as a teenager. Promoter A.J. Galante was happy to give Williams a second chance.
“People make mistakes in life, big or small, especially kids. I’m a firm believer in people can learn from them, and I’m big on second chances. I’m proud to be the one to give Tramaine a second chance in boxing, when not a lot of people were willing to. I sat with him, we spoke, and I saw a kid look me in the eye and I saw that he was sincere about getting back on the right track. I’m hoping by giving him a second chance, he will make the most of it, and fulfill his promise. I’m certain a big performance 30. maijs will catch the eyes of everyone in the sport, which will only lead to more opportunities for him. There is no doubt whatsoever if he can keep his life outside the ring intact, he will be a World Champion,” said Galante.
Williams certainly won’t be coming back after a long layoff with a soft touch, he will be taking on Josh Bowles (9-1, 1KO) out of Harrisburg, PA in a 6 round featherweight attraction.
Also featured on the card will be New Haven’s Nate “The Great One” Zaļš (7-0, 2Kos) as he takes on tough veteran spoiler Timur Shailezov (17-9-1, 4KO s) from Kyrgyzstan, currently residing in Philadelphia, PA
Galante made clear that he has not signed Williams, Zaļš, or any boxer for that matter to promotional contracts, but he noted there are requirements to fighting under Prize Promotions, “My vision is to give guys opportunities that could springboard them to bigger and better things. I’m looking to actually promote the sport the old fashioned way, and put together exciting 50-50 matchups. I think anyone who fights on my card should be recognized as a throwback fighter, and someone that wants to really become great. My matchmakers Russell Peltz, Brittany Rogers and I have not put any soft matches together. Fans can look at this lineup, and realize it’s nearly impossible for there to be an upset, because all these bouts, top to bottom, are equally matched. Everyone fighting on 30. maijs understood from the start that they have to fight tough competition, because in the end, it will only bring the best out of them and they will actually grow as a boxer from their matches. Plus the fans deserve it.”
This all action night of Professional boxing will also feature some of Connecticut’s most exciting and promising prospects. New Haven’s exhilarating Josh Crespo (3-2-2, 1KO) uzņemsies Edgar Cortes (1-0) in a four round Featherweight bout.
Bridgeport s Oscar Bonilla (3-0-2) liek savu undefeated rekordu uz līnijas pret Andrew Bentley (2-2-0) in four round Lightweight bouts.
Heavyweight Fan favorite and former University of New Haven Basketball star Cassius Chaney (1-0 1KO) of New London, recently signing with powerhouse promoter Main Events, will make his second appearance in a professional boxing ring, after picking up a TKO win in his debut April 17, against an opponent to be announced in a four round bout.
In what could potentially be the fight of the night, Veterāns Richie “Kid Brasil” Neves(8-2-1, 4Kos) of nearby Hyde Park, NY uzņemsies Gilbert Alex Sanchez (5-6, 2Kos) no Camden, NJ in a Super Welterweight bout scheduled for six-rounds.
The night will also feature three highly anticipated debuts from charismatic Light Heavyweight “Fly” Maiks Māršals no Bronx, former amateur standout, Super papildsvars Mike Rue Las Vegas, by way of Columbus, Ohaio, and decorated amateur Saso Leskaroski of Macedonia.

Cīņa ziņojumu: Ozguls un Khans nodrošina titulus Jorkas zāles trillerī
Ziņo: Gianluca (Upe) Di Caro
Atzīsim, ar Meivezeram-Pakjao veltīto kolonnu collu skaitu pēdējo nedēļu laikā, Jūs varētu viegli piedot, ja domājat, ka maijā nebija citu boksa notikumu 2nd.
Labi, bija vēl viena cīņas karte, un ar prieku varu teikt, ka biju tajā pasākumā — Marks Laions un Billijs Džeimss Eliots popularizēja Lords of the Ring pasākumu ikoniskajā Jorkas zālē Londonā..
Labi, Jāatzīst, ka Jorkas zālei Betnalgrīnā ne tuvu nav tādas milzīgās cīņas MGM Grand Lasvegasā., bet, kad runa ir par drāmu un satraukumu, žēl, ka jūs vienkārši nevarat pārspēt mazās zāles boksu, it īpaši, ja tas ir Jorkas zālē.
Kad pasākums tika paziņots, tajā bija paredzētas četrpadsmit cīņas, taču uzreiz pēc May-Pac izziņošanas ievērojams skaits cīņu tika atceltas, kā cīnītāji vēlējās būt ringā Vegasā, tad finālā tālākas cīņas bija ārpus kārts, traumu dēļ, atstājot septiņu kāršu cīņu šovu naktī, vai tā bija.
Dienā karte tika vēl vairāk samazināta, pēc tam, kad viena no cīņām tika atcelta drošības apsvērumu dēļ — 5 kg svara atšķirības starp diviem debitējošiem cīnītājiem — un, ja tas nebija pietiekami slikti, tad Mennija Muhameda pretinieks, Rafaelam Snovam neizdevās ierasties, atstājot tikai piecas cīņas naktī.
Vispirms bija sešas kārtas spēle starp Liverpūlē bāzēto Krievijas labāko izredzēto Davidu Agadžanjanu, pret čehu Jozefu Rēdlihu, kurš iestājās pēdējā brīdī, lai glābtu cīņu, pēc tam, kad Ganas Īzaks Ousu bija spiests izstāties slimības dēļ.
Pagāja tikai četrdesmit piecas sekundes, lai pirmo reizi nosūtītu Rēdlihu uz audekla, un apmēram tikpat, lai viņu noliktu otrreiz..
Rēdlihs bija nepārspējams, tāpēc nebija pārsteigums, ka, kad viņš nokāpa trešo reizi, tiesnesis Kens Kērtiss nolēma apturēt tiesvedību pēc divu minūšu un divdesmit piecu sekunžu robežas..
Esmu pāris reizes redzējis Agadžanjanu darbībā, ieskaitot lielisko uzvaru pār tobrīd nepārspēto Danielu Bazo martā, tāpēc ļoti gaidīju, kad varēs redzēt viņu darbībā pret Ousu, grūts, bezkompromisa bijušais Ganas čempions un Sadraudzības titula izaicinātājs, bet tas būs jāpagaida līdz šī mēneša beigām, kad Liverpūlē notiks pārceltā cīņa.
Nākamais bija WBF starpkontinentālais čempions Pols Economides, trešā čempionāta sešu rounder, pret citu vēlu nomaiņu, Čehijas Republikas Petrs Gyna, pēc tam, kad bijušais britu čempions Endijs Bells izstājās nedēļu pirms un pēc tam oriģinālais aizstājējs izstājās tikai divas dienas pirms izrādes.
Economides ir vēl viens klases akts, tāpēc nav pārsteigums, ka Gīna bija uz audekla tikai trīsdesmit sekunžu laikā, pēc restartēšanas Gyna nolēma, ka uzbrukums ir labākā aizsardzības forma, tomēr, aizvedot cīņu pret Economides, viņš spēlēja tieši savās rokās, burtiski kā Economides viņu sodīja ar lielām tiesībām, kas čehu otro un pēdējo reizi nolaida uz audekla, uz vienas minūtes un divdesmit piecu sekunžu atzīmes.
Gan atklāšanas cīņas beidzas agri, gan TV tiešraide nesāksies līdz plkst 9pm, promotoriem nebija citas izvēles, kā tikai diezgan ilgu pārtraukumu pirms nākamās cīņas, sešu raundu vieglsmagā svara sacensības starp čempionu TKO nepārspēto Haknijā dzīvojošo turku Onderu Ozgulu un pašu namatēvu Džodiju Meikli.
Pirmajos četros raundos Ozguls vienkārši nolaida Meikle, ļaujot plēst ar masīvām labajām rokām pie katras iespējamas iespējas, Meikle ir tikpat grūts, cik viņi nāk, un šķita, ka ir apmierināti ar sodu, ko piesprieda vīrietis, kuru turku fani nosauca par "Mazo Maiku"..
Kādreiz jokdaris, Meikle mazināja viņam piemēroto sodu, laimīgi spēlējot pūlim, kā arī saniknot savu pretinieku, velkot sejām un iegalvojot, ka turku puišu metienos nav spēka, tomēr ar to, ka Meikle bija mazinājusi savas dēkas, skaidri parādīja, ka Ozgul metieniem patiešām bija vēlamais efekts.
Meikle savas taktikas rotaļīgumu vēl vairāk samazināja piektajā, kad Ozguls pastiprināja savus uzbrukumus, pieliekot vēl vairāk spēka savos metienos.
Jau sestās spēles sākumā bija skaidrs, ka Ozguls vēlējās sodīt Meikli vēl vairāk, atbalstīt Skuntorpa vīru uz virvēm, pirms ļaut plēst ar lieliem divroku viļņiem, no kuriem viens, krakšķošs ķermeņa šāviens, burtiski izsitot vēju no Meikles un piespiežot nostāties uz viena ceļa.
Restartējot Ozguls devās finišā, šoreiz Meikle devās aizsardzībā, vairs nav jāspēlē pūlim, lai redzētu to līdz fināla zvanam.
Pēc sešām ļoti izklaidējošām kārtām vārtus guva tiesnesis Kens Kērtiss 60-53 par labu Ozgulam.
Es ļoti izbaudīju cīņu, Es zinu, ka tā nebija klasika, bet puika, puika, tas bija ļoti izklaidējoši.
Ceturtajā nakts cīņā pirmo reizi čempionātā piedalās Bredfordas spēlētājs Tasifs Khans, pret gruzīnu Mihailu Soloņikini, par International Masters Sudraba svara titulu.
Khan sāka ātri, skaisti boksējot aiz sitiena, Bredfordas vīrs lielāko cīņas daļu turēja savu nedaudz pieredzējušāko ienaidnieku uz aizmugurējās pēdas.
Līdz pusceļam Khans nedaudz palēnināja tempu, vienlaikus saglabājot spiedienu uz Soloņikini, tomēr apmēram sestās dienas vidū, ikdienas apmaiņas laikā Khans nedaudz lēni cēla cimdus, atstājot atvērumu gruzīnam, lai ļautu ripot ar lielo labo, kas nosūtīja Hanu uz audekla.
Restartējot Soloņinkini uzbruka ar pilnu spēku, Hans palika mierīgs un atkal atkāpās aiz viņa dūriena, gruzīns bija labi sajūsmināts un turpināja nākt uz priekšu tempā, pirms iemeta milzīgas bumbas.
Šo sadursmju laikā Khans saprātīgi satvēra, līdz tiesnesis Lī Mērtags izdeva pavēles pārtraukumu. Šī taktika darbojās, un Khans spēja pietiekami iztīrīt galvu, lai pagrieztu kontroli atpakaļ uz sevi.
Tomēr Khanam bija darba pilnas rokas pēdējās trīs kārtās, kā Soloņikini bija iespiedies starp zobiem un smagi spieda, tomēr Khans ir foršs raksturs un šķita apmierināts ar pakaļkāju ikreiz, kad gruzīns veica spēcīgu uzbrukumu.
Pēc desmit izcila boksa raundiem, tiesnešu punktu kartes lasīja – Kens Kērtiss 99-94, Obijs Gārnets 98-90 un Matt Hamilton 98-91, viss par labu Tasifam Khanam.
Dženifera Bērtone, Maltas Boksa komisijas Ziemeļu reģiona sekretārs, uzvarējušajam Tasifam Hanam uzdāvināja pazīstamo zilo International Masters jostu.
Jāsaka, ka cīņa man ļoti patika, lai gan tas ilgu laiku bija diezgan vienpusīgs, atzīsim, ka tas nav apgalvojums par Soloninkini kvalitāti, kā viņa ciltsraksti ir labi zināmi, šis bērns ir grūts rieksts, ko salauzt, kā to pierāda Džeimija Viljamsa distance, martā, kad viņi cīnījās par bronzas meistariem, kā arī pāris nedēļas vēlāk cīnījās ar sensacionālo Čārliju Edvardsu, bet, manuprāt, cīņas vienpusība, kā arī rezultāts parāda, cik labi cīnījās Tasifs Khans.
Nakts galvenā cīņa ir revanša spēle starp čempionu TKO nepārspēto Haknijā dzīvojošo turku Siaru Ozgulu., jā, brālis iepriekšminētajam Onderam, pret Metu Skrivenu no Notingemas, un šoreiz bija paredzēts čempionāts - MBC starptautiskais tituls pusvidējā svara kategorijā..
Kad šie divi pirmo reizi cīnījās, pagājušā gada oktobrī, tas bija karš, Ozgul uzvarēja, taču raundi bija tik tuvu, ka rezultāts varēja būt ļoti atšķirīgs.
Cīņa sākās ļoti līdzīgi kā viņu oktobrī, neviens vīrietis nevēlas piekāpties, tomēr tieši pirms pirmā raunda beigām Ozguls ļāva saplēst ar masīvu tiesības uz Skrivena ķermeni, kas piespieda Notingemas vīrieti piesegties, lai redzētu, kā tas ir noslēdzies.
Sitiens pa ķermeni droši vien ļoti sāpināja Skrivenu, jo šķita, ka viņš vairāk bija nolēmis aizsargāties, nevis pilns uzbrukumā, no otrā sākuma, modelis, kas palika pārējā cīņas laikā.
Ozguls veica lielāko daļu skriešanas, tomēr Skrivens vairāk nekā turējās pie sevis daudzo sekojošo sadursmju laikā, lai gan jāatzīst, ka viņš bija nedaudz piesardzīgāks nekā atklāšanas raundā.
Pēc desmit izcila boksa raundiem tika nolasītas tiesnešu punktu kartītes – vārtus guva Lī Mērtags un Mets Hamiltons. 100-90 un Obijs Gārnets 100-88 viss par labu Siaram Ozgulam.
Tam sekoja MBC starptautiskās jostas pasniegšana Siaram Ozgulam, ko pasniedza viņa kolēģi Champions TKO sporta zāles biedre un pašreizējā MBC starptautiskā superbantam svara čempione Marianne Mārstona..
Kopumā pasākums man ļoti patika, īpaši pēdējās trīs cīņas, tomēr biju nedaudz vīlies par dažām plānotajām cīņām, piemēram, tie, kuros piedalās Iain Weaver, Antonio Counihan, Marks Prinss, Džordžs Hiljards un jau pieminētā Marianna Mārstona, neizdevās īstenoties, jo, manuprāt, ja tie būtu notikuši, es domāju, ka šī gandrīz noteikti būtu bijusi viena no labākajām izrādēm Jorkas zālē šogad, tas joprojām bija ļoti patīkams un izklaidējošs pugilistiskas darbības vakars un piemērota prelūdija cīņai May-Pac, ko bokseriem sarīkoja promouteri Marks Laions un Billijs Džeimss-Eliots, savām komandām un pasākuma apmeklētājiem skatīties tiešraidē, izmantojot satelītu privātā pasākumu telpā.

JENNINGS & SANTANA GAIN RESPECT WITH FANS
NEW JERSEY (Maijs 5, 2015) – Pēc HBO Pasaules čempionāts Bokss had one of their highest rated shows since 2012 with the Klitschko vs. Jennings championship bout on April 25th, Gary Shaw feels his fighters, Bryant Jennings (19-1, 10 Kos) un Fransisko Santana (22-4-1, 11 Kos), can make quick comebacks to the big stage.
“There is no doubt in my mind that Bryant Jennings and Francisco Santana are fighters the fans want see,” teica Gary Shaw. “The viewership that HBO had on April 25th was fantastic and I believe Jennings and Santana had a lot to do with those high ratings. Jennings because of his activity on social media. Santana because he has a tremendous amount of Latin fans that support him. Ar šo tiek teica, I believe both fighters, will be back on the big stage in the future.”
Bryant Jennings gained a ton of respect for his gallant effort against Klitschko, in which he went the distance, giving Wladimir his toughest fight in recent years, proving he was deserving of a title shot. Fransisko Santana, who also went the distance with Sadam Ali, showed remarkable heart as he fought hard in every round, giving the fans their money’s worth.
“Bryant Jennings proved he’s an elite heavyweight contender with his performance against Klitschko,” Gary Shaw turpināja. “Santana is a Mexican warrior and both fighters gained a lot of fans that night. Both fighters pressed the action, taking the fight to their opponents, bringing excitement to the bout. Many in attendance felt the scores for both Jennings and Santana were not reflective of their fights. It was a lot closer then what the judges scorecards read. Jennings and Santana both love being HBO fighters. I have plans to bring them back to HBO.”
