Danbury Fight Night Card Set For May 30
|
Danbury, CT (Mei 6, 2015)– On Mei 30 Prize Promotions presents their first professional boxing card, Danbury Fight Night, taking place at the Danbury Arena, katika 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 Mei 30 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” Green (7-0, 2Kos) as he takes on tough veteran spoiler Timur Shailezov (17-9-1, 4KO ya) from Kyrgyzstan, currently residing in Philadelphia, PA
Galante made clear that he has not signed Williams, Green, 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 Mei 30 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) watachukua Edgar Cortes (1-0) in a four round Featherweight bout.
Bridgeport ya Oscar Bonilla (3-0-2) unaweka rekodi yake undefeated kwenye mstari dhidi 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, Mkongwe Richie “Kid Brasil” Neves(8-2-1, 4Kos) of nearby Hyde Park, NY itachukua juu ya Gilbert Alex Sanchez (5-6, 2Kos) ya 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” Mike Marshall ya Bronx, former amateur standout, Super welterweight Mike Rue ya Las Vegas, by way of Columbus, Ohio, and decorated amateur Saso Leskaroski of Macedonia.

Kupambana Ripoti: Ozgul na Khan Wana vyeo salama katika ukumbi wa York Hall Thriller
Ripoti na: Gianluca (River) Di Caro
Hebu uso yake, na kiasi cha inchi za safu zilizowekwa kwa Mayweather-Pacquiao katika wiki chache zilizopita, unaweza kusamehewa kwa urahisi ukifikiria kwamba hakukuwa na hafla zingine za ndondi ambazo zilifanyika mnamo Mei 2nd.
Naam, kulikuwa na kadi nyingine ya vita, na ninafurahi kusema kwamba nilikuwa kwenye hafla hiyo - Mark Lyons na Billy James-Elliott walitangaza Lords of the Ring kwenye ukumbi wa ikoni wa York London.
OK, kwa hakika Jumba la York huko Bethnal Green halina mahali popote karibu na cachet ya kuwa kwenye mapigano mega huko MGM Grand huko Las Vegas, lakini linapokuja suala la mchezo wa kuigiza na msisimko, samahani huwezi tu kupiga ndondi ndogo za ukumbi, hasa wakati iko kwenye Ukumbi wa York.
Wakati hafla hiyo ilipotangazwa ilikuwa ni kwa sababu ya vipindi kumi na vinne, lakini mara tu baada ya Mei-Pac kutangazwa idadi kubwa ya pambano hizo zilifutwa, wakati wapiganaji walitaka kuwa pete huko Vegas, kisha katika ujenzi wa mwisho mapigano zaidi hayakuwa kwenye kadi, kwa sababu ya majeraha, akiacha onyesho la kupigania kadi saba usiku, au ilikuwa hivyo.
Kadi ilipunguzwa zaidi siku hiyo, baada ya moja ya mapigano kufutwa kwa sababu za usalama - kwa sababu ya tofauti ya kilo 5 ya uzito kati ya wapiganaji hao wawili wa kwanza - na ikiwa hiyo haikuwa mbaya mpinzani wa Manny Muhammad, Rafael Snow alishindwa kujitokeza, ukiacha mapigano matano tu usiku.
Wa kwanza alikuwa mzunguko sita kati ya matarajio ya moto ya Liverpool ya Urusi David Agadzhanyan, dhidi ya Jamhuri ya Czech Josef Redlich, ambaye aliingia dakika ya mwisho kuokoa pambano, kufuatia raia wa Ghana Isaac Owusu kulazimishwa kujiondoa kwa sababu ya ugonjwa.
Ilimchukua Agadzhanyan sekunde arobaini na tano tu kumpeleka Redlich kwenye turubai kwa mara ya kwanza na sawa sawa tena kumtia chini mara ya pili.
Redlich alikuwa wazi sana na haishangazi kwamba wakati aliposhuka kwa mara ya tatu mwamuzi Ken Curtis aliamua kusitisha kesi kwa dakika mbili na sekunde ishirini na tano..
Nimeona Agadzhanyan akifanya kazi mara kadhaa, ikiwa ni pamoja na ushindi bora juu ya Daniel Bazo ambaye hajashindwa mnamo Machi, kwa hivyo nilikuwa nikitarajia kumuona akichuana na Owusu, mgumu mgumu wa zamani wa Bingwa wa Ghana na mshindani wa taji la Jumuiya ya Madola, lakini hiyo itabidi isubiri hadi baadaye mwezi huu wakati pambano lililopangwa upya litafanyika Liverpool.
Aliyefuata alikuwa Bingwa wa WBF baina ya Bara Paul Economides, katika zisizo michuano sita rounder, dhidi ya mwingine badala ya marehemu, Petr Gyna wa Jamhuri ya Czech, kufuatia Champian wa zamani wa Uingereza Andy Bell akiondoa wiki moja kabla na kisha mbadala wa asili akiondoa siku mbili tu kabla ya onyesho.
Uchumi ni kitendo kingine cha darasa, kwa hivyo haishangazi kwamba Gyna alikuwa kwenye turubai ndani ya sekunde thelathini tu, kwa kuanza upya Gyna aliamua kuwa shambulio ndio njia bora ya ulinzi, hata hivyo katika kupeleka pambano kwa Economides alicheza moja kwa moja mikononi mwake, halisi kama Economides alimuadhibu na haki kubwa, ambayo ilituma Kicheki chini kwenye turubai kwa mara ya pili na ya mwisho, kwa dakika moja na ishirini na tano alama ya pili.
Pamoja na mapigano yote ya ufunguzi kumaliza mapema na matangazo ya moja kwa moja ya Runinga sio kwa sababu ya kuanza hadi 9pm, wahamasishaji hawakuwa na chaguo ila kuwa na muda mrefu kabla ya pambano linalofuata, mashindano ya raundi sita ya Uzito Mwepesi kati ya Mabingwa TKO ambao hawajashindwa Hackney kulingana na matarajio ya Uturuki Onder Ozgul na mburudishaji mwenyewe Jody Meikle.
Katika raundi nne za kwanza Ozgul alitembea tu Meikle chini, kuruhusu kupasuka kwa mikono kubwa ya kulia kwa kila fursa inayowezekana, Meikle ni mgumu kama wanavyokuja na walionekana kuridhika kunyonya adhabu iliyotolewa na yule mtu aliyeitwa 'Little Mike' na mashabiki wa Kituruki.
Mzaha wa milele, Meikle alicheza chini ya adhabu aliyokuwa akichukua, kucheza kwa furaha kwa umati, pamoja na kumkasirisha mpinzani wake, kwa kuvuta nyuso na kusisitiza kwamba hakukuwa na nguvu katika risasi za vijana hawa wa Kituruki, Walakini na ukweli kwamba Meikle alikuwa amepunguza maudhi yake, ilionyesha wazi kuwa risasi za Ozgul zilikuwa na athari inayotarajiwa.
Meikle alipunguza uchezaji wa mbinu zake hata zaidi katika ya tano, wakati Ozgul akiongeza mashambulizi yake, kuweka nguvu zaidi katika risasi zake.
Kuanzia mwanzo wa sita ilikuwa wazi kwamba Ozgul alikuwa na nia ya kumuadhibu Meikle hata zaidi, kumuunga mkono mtu wa Scunthorpe kwenye kamba kabla ya kuruhusu mpasuko na maua makubwa mara mbili, moja ambayo, mwili uliopasuka, kwa kweli kugonga upepo kutoka kwa Meikle na kumlazimisha kuchukua goti moja.
Katika kuanza upya Ozgul aliingia kumaliza, wakati huu Meikle alijitetea, hakuna kucheza tena kwa umati, kuiona kupitia kengele ya mwisho.
Baada ya raundi sita za burudani sana Mwamuzi Ken Curtis alifunga pambano hilo 60-53 kwa niaba ya Ozgul.
Nilifurahia sana pambano hilo, Najua haikuwa ya kawaida, lakini kijana oh kijana ilikuwa ya burudani sana.
Pambano la nne la usiku tazama Bradford's Tasif Khan katika hatua ya Ubingwa kwa mara ya kwanza, dhidi ya Mikheil Soloninkini wa Georgia, kwa jina la International Masters Silver bantamweight.
Khan alianza haraka, ndondi vizuri nyuma ya jab yake yule mtu wa Bradford aliweka adui yake mzoefu kidogo kwenye mguu wa nyuma kwa wengi wa pambano hilo.
Kufikia katikati ya hatua Khan alipunguza mwendo kidogo, wakati huo huo kuweka shinikizo kwa Soloninkini, hata hivyo karibu katikati ya sita, wakati wa kubadilishana kwa kawaida Khan alikuwa mwepesi kidogo akileta glavu zake, ikiacha ufunguzi kwa Mjijiajia apasue haki kubwa, ambayo ilimpeleka Khan kwenye turubai.
Kwenye kuanza upya Soloninkini alikwenda kushambulia, Khan alitulia na kurudi nyuma ya jab yake tena, yule wa Kijojiajia alikuwa na hyped vizuri na aliendelea kujitokeza kwa kasi kabla ya kutupa mabomu makubwa.
Wakati wa mapigano haya Khan alishikilia kwa busara hadi mwamuzi Lee Murtagh atoe amri ya kuvunja. Mbinu hii ilifanya kazi na Khan aliweza kusafisha kichwa chake vya kutosha kugeuza udhibiti kurudi kwake.
Khan alikuwa amejaa mikono kwa raundi tatu za mwisho, kwani Soloninkini alikuwa na kidogo kati ya meno yake na alikuwa akisukuma kwa bidii, hata hivyo Khan ni mhusika mzuri na alionekana kuridhika na sanduku la mguu wa nyuma kila wakati Mjijia alipofanya onyesho kali.
Baada ya raundi kumi za ndondi bora, kadi za alama za majaji zilisomeka – Ken Curtis 99-94, Obie Garnett 98-90 na Matt Hamilton 98-91, wote wanampendelea Tasif Khan.
Jennifer Burton, Katibu wa Kanda ya Kaskazini wa Tume ya Ndondi ya Malta, aliwasilisha ukanda wa Masters wa kimataifa uliojulikana kwa Tasif Khan aliyeshinda.
Lazima niseme nilifurahiya sana pambano hilo, ingawa ilikuwa upande mmoja kwa muda mwingi, hebu tukubaliane kwamba hiyo sio taarifa juu ya ubora wa Soloninkini, kama asili yake inajulikana, mtoto huyu ni karanga ngumu ya kuvunja, inavyothibitishwa kwa kuchukua Jamie Williams umbali, wakati walipigania Mabwana wa Shaba mnamo Machi, na vile vile tukapambana na mshtuko Charlie Edwards wiki kadhaa baadaye, lakini kwa mawazo yangu upande mmoja wa mapigano na matokeo pia yanaonyesha jinsi Tasif Khan alivyopambana.
Mapigano ya kichwa cha usiku yanaona marudiano kati ya Mabingwa TKO ambao hawakushindwa Hackney kulingana na matarajio ya Uturuki Siar Ozgul, yep ndugu kwa Onder iliyotajwa hapo juu, dhidi ya Matt Scriven wa Nottingham na wakati huu kulikuwa na Mashindano kwenye mstari - Kombe la Mbio la Kimataifa la MBC.
Wakati hawa wawili walipigana kwanza, mnamo Oktoba mwaka jana, ilikuwa vita vya nje na nje, Ozgul alishinda lakini raundi zilikuwa karibu sana inaweza kuwa matokeo tofauti sana.
Mpambano huo ulianza kwa njia inayofanana sana na onyesho lao la Oktoba, wala mtu anayetaka kukubali uwanja wowote, hata hivyo kabla tu ya kumalizika kwa duru ya kwanza Ozgul achana na haki kubwa kwa mwili wa Scriven, ambayo ilimlazimisha mtu wa Nottingham kufunika ili kuona raundi hiyo ni hitimisho.
Risasi kwa mwili lazima ilimuumiza sana Scriven kwani alionekana kuwa na nia zaidi ya ulinzi, badala ya kamili juu ya shambulio, tangu mwanzo wa pili, muundo ambao ulibaki kwa pambano lililobaki.
Ozgul alifanya kazi zaidi wakati wote, hata hivyo Scriven alizidi kushikilia wakati wa mapigano mengi yaliyotokea, ingawa lazima kukubali alikuwa mwangalifu kidogo kuliko wakati wa duru ya ufunguzi.
Baada ya duru kumi za ndondi bora waamuzi walisomwa kadi za alama - Lee Murtagh na Matt Hamilton walipiga pambano hilo 100-90 na Obie Garnett 100-88 wote wanampendelea Siar Ozgul.
Hii ilifuatiwa na uwasilishaji wa mkanda wa MBC wa Kimataifa kwa Siar Ozgul na mwenzake wa mazoezi ya Klabu Bingwa TKO na Bingwa wa sasa wa MbC International Super Bantamweight Marianne Marston.
Kwa jumla nilifurahiya sana hafla hiyo, haswa pambano tatu za mwisho, hata hivyo nilikuwa na tamaa kidogo kwamba baadhi ya mapigano yaliyopangwa, kama vile zile zilizo na Iain Weaver, Antonio Counihan, Mark Prince, George Hillyard na Marianne Marston aliyetajwa hapo juu, imeshindwa kutekelezeka, kwa sababu kwa akili yangu ikiwa wangefanyika nahisi hii karibu ingekuwa moja ya maonyesho bora katika Ukumbi wa York mwaka huu, kama ilivyokuwa bado ilikuwa jioni ya kufurahisha na ya kuburudisha ya hatua ya uchukuzi na utangulizi unaofaa wa pambano la May-Pac, ambayo watangazaji Mark Lyons na Billy James-Elliott walipanga mabondia hao, timu zao na wahudhuriaji wa hafla hiyo kutazama moja kwa moja kupitia setilaiti kwenye chumba cha faragha.

JENNINGS & SANTANA GAIN RESPECT WITH FANS
NEW JERSEY (Mei 5, 2015) – Baada ya HBO michuano ya Dunia Boxing 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) na Francisco 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,” alisema 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. Pamoja na kwamba kuwa alisema, 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. Francisco 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 imeendelea. “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.”
