The exciting Dominguez, 28, has increased the level of opposition since fighting on RJJ Boxing cards in two of his three four fights.

“I feel that either hand has knockout power,” Dominguez said, “but I could damage all my opponents during the early part of my career with precise left hook to the body. Now, my physical training continues to improve power ion both my hands.

“UFC FIGHT PASS has really motivated me since I am finally getting more exposure. The RJJ Boxing guys are super nice and make me feel welcome. They make me feel welcome and that I belong with them. I will not disappoint my manager, Terry Hollan, Roy Jones Jr. Boxing and UFC FIGHT PASS.”

“My opponent has smaller but quicker hands,” Dominguez added. “I assume he will try to move rather than stand in front of me. I am working with some faster guys right now to prepare. He is really open to an over-hand right.

“In 2020, I plan to fight often and train hard in the USA. There are many great fighters in the division, but I am preparing and ready to win a championship if given the opportunity”

Delgadillo, fighting out of Dallas, is a former World Boxing Council (CMB) United States super flyweight and Texas State flyweight titlist, who will be fighting for the first time since the summer of 2018.

CIUTAT ATLÀNTICA - Gener 11, 2020 - Claressa Shields va tornar a la història reivindicant els campionats mundials WBC i WBO de 154 lliures amb una decisió unànime dominant sobre Ivana Habazin divendres a SHOWTIME de Ocean Casino Resort a Atlantic City.

Shields es va convertir en el lluitador més ràpid de la història, mascle o femella, guanyar títols mundials en tres divisions de pes diferents, superant el rècord de Vasiliy Lomachenko i Kosei Tanaka, que van realitzar la gesta tots dos 12 baralles. Es va aconseguir el tancament gairebé tancat 99-89, 100-90, 100-89.

Escuts (10-0, 2 KOs) va dominar Habazin des de la campana d'obertura, utilitzant una forta punxa i una dieta constant de tirs corporals que van deixar al croat principalment en mode defensiu durant la lluita de deu rondes. A la sisena ronda, una sèrie de trets corporals van obligar Habazin a arrossegar-se el genoll en el primer tomb de la seva carrera. També va ser el primer enderrocament per a la doble medallista olímpica d'or i indiscutible campiona del món de pes mitjà de la seva carrera professional.

Després del tomb, Habazin va continuar endavant però ho va fer sense llançar molts cops de puny. Habazin (20-4, 7 KOs) va tirar just 285 comparat amb 516 per a Escuts, qui també es va connectar 38 per cent dels seus trets de poder en comparació amb només 18 per cent per a Habazin.

En la baralla co-estel·lar, sensació de pes welter Jaron Ennis va anotar la seva 15^º eliminatòria consecutiva amb un TKO de quarta ronda dominant sobre el resistent Bakhtiyar Eyubov.

El nadiu de Filadèlfia que va canviar va sortir amb un ritme fulgurant a la primera, canviant de southpaw en el minut inicial mentre mostrava la seva potència i velocitat de mà. Una embestida de cops de puny perfectament sincronitzats va fer que el Eyubov, normalment resistent, fos per primera vegada a la seva carrera a mitjans de la primera ronda. Eyubov (14-1-2, 12 KOs) es va aixecar però va ser abandonat contra just 20 segons després, mentre el ritme tòrrid continuava. Eyubov va sobreviure a la ronda i Ennis (25-0, 23 KOs) va treure una mica el peu del gas al segon, però el pes welter invicte encara va aterrar a voluntat contra Eyubov, que va continuar avançant.

Abans de la quarta ronda, El comissari Larry Hazzard va advertir a Eyubov que deixaria la lluita si no veia millores. Amb Eyubov encara pressionant cap endavant però menjant desenes de cops de puny, l'àrbitre Earl Brown va intervenir per aturar la baralla :34 a les instruccions del Hazzard.

Ennis ara sí 23 nocauts en 25 baralles i 13 derrotes durant els seus últims sis combats. Durant quatre rondes, l’ennis increïblement efectiu va aterrar 47 per cent dels seus trets de poder.

“Sabíem que venia a lluitar i exercir pressió, així que ho vam barrejar,”, Va dir Ennis. "Era un bon lluitador, però en realitat no era tan fort. M’estaven colpejant una mica massa, però així ho vam fer per aconseguir la eliminatòria.

“Estàvem preparant-lo per a trets de força. Només calia calmar-me, això és tot. Estava massa exagerat. Un cop em vaig calmar i vaig entrar en el meu ritme, això era tot.

“Prenia molts càstigs. Sens dubte, va ser un gran lluitador. Agraeixo que lluiti perquè molts nois no volen lluitar contra mi ”.

Amb una altra actuació dominant, Ara Ennis fixa la seva mirada en el nivell superior d’una de les divisions més profundes i emocionants de la boxa.

“Hem estat desitjant a tots els nois,”, Va dir Ennis. “Continuen corrent. No poden córrer més. Sóc aquí mateix."

A la primera baralla de la transmissió per televisió, El campió del món de pes mig mitjà de la IBF, Elin Cederroos, va superar la campiona de l’AMB, Alicia Napoleon Espinosa, per unificar la divisió de pes mitjà super en una lluita intensa d’actes marcada 95-94 tres vegades.

Cederroos (7-0, 4 KOs) va ser més actiu des de la campana d'obertura, llançament 747 cops de puny total 10 rondes en comparació amb 432 per al lleugerament més eficaç Napoleó Espinosa (12-2, 7 KOs). Però la diferència en els quadres de puntuació estrets va ser un tomb de segona ronda que Cederroos va registrar amb un control perfectament cronometrat de ganxo esquerre en els moments finals del segon. Va ser el primer enderroc de la carrera de Napoleó Espinosa i, finalment, el factor decisiu en els quadres de comandament.

"Estic tant feliç. Vaig demostrar que puc fer boxa i portar una guerra,”, Va dir Cederroos. “Però quan em vaig relaxar, els cops de puny van venir. Se sent tan meravellós. Alicia era una gran contrincant ”.

Napoleó Espinosa va ser un joc i va ferir el Cederroos suec diverses vegades, però va ser en gran part incapaç d’entrar-hi contra el seu oponent més alt que va aconseguir constantment els cops més grans a distància.

«No em pensava haver perdut. Vaig pensar que estava força a prop, però vaig pensar que estava per davant,”, Va dir Napoleó Espinosa. "És el que és, però no crec que hagi perdut aquesta baralla.

“Sé que era forta, però volia una baralla dura. Sé que Elin és atleta. No sento que vaig perdre. Tinc la sensació que era a prop ”.

Napoleó Espinosa esperava que una victòria la posicionés per a un 2020 lluita amb Claressa Shields al pes mitjà amb els quatre títols de 160 lliures de Shields a la línia.

"Enhorabona per la baralla amb Shields perquè això era el que esperava,”, Va dir Napoleó Espinosa.

L’esdeveniment va ser promogut per Salita Promotions en associació amb T-REX BOXING PROMOTIONS.

ALLENTOWN, Pa.(Gener 6, 2020) – WBC campió mundial de pes plomaGary Russell Jr.will defend his 126-pound crown against unbeaten mandatory challengerTugstsogt “King Tug” NyambayarDissabte, Febrer 8 live on SHOWTIME from PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.

La transmissió de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING comença a les 9 p.m. ET / 6 pm. PT and will see former world championsGuillermo RigondeauxiLiborio Solís battle for the vacant WBA Bantamweight World Title in the co-main event. The telecast opens withJaime Arboleda reunióJayson Velészin a 12-round bout WBA Super Featherweight Title eliminator.

The main event showdown will see Russell make the fifth defense of his title as he looks to again display the skills and speed that have made him one of the elite featherweight fighters in the world. He will be challenged by the 2012 Olympic silver medalist “King Tug”, who quickly rose up the rankings facing quality opposition throughout his 11-fight career.

“Gary Russell Jr. has proven himself to be at the very elite level of this sport and one of the best fighters in the featherweight division,", va dir Tom Brown, President de Promocions TGB. “His speed, power and overall skillset has made him a must-watch every time he steps into that ring. He’s going to get all he can handle from an undefeated fighter in ‘King Tug’ Nyambayar, who has the pedigree and power to make this a memorable fight. You won’t want to blink during this high octane showdown February 8 on SHOWTIME from PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania.”

“The February 8 card is co-headlined by two of the most skilled boxers in the sport today,"Va dir Stephen Espinoza, President Sports & Programació d'esdeveniments, Showtime Networks Inc. “Gary Russell Jr. – arguably the fastest hands in boxing – will be facing his toughest challenge as world champion against the aggressive power-puncher ‘King Tug’. And in the co-main event, Guillermo Rigondeaux, one of the best boxers on the planet since his days as an amateur in Cuba, moves down in weight to the bantamweight division for the first time in his pro career as he faces former world champion Liborio Solis with a world title at stake. Add in a compelling super featherweight eliminator and we have the makings of an action-packed tripleheader on February 8.”

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment en viu, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Kings Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased throughwww.pplcenter.com/events (direct linkAQUÍ).

The Capitol Heights, Maryland native Russell (30-1, 18 KOs) has held his WBC Featherweight Title since 2015 when he stopped multiple division champion Jhonny Gonzalez to emphatically capture the belt. The 31-year-old is part of one of boxing’s premier fighting families as he is trained by his father Gary Sr., and trains alongside his younger brothers, unbeaten super lightweight Gary Antuanne and undefeated bantamweight Antonio. Russell most recently stopped former champion Kiko Martinez in May on SHOWTIME after previously defeating then unbeaten challenger Joseph Diaz Jr in 2018 in a hometown defense.

“I’m forced to defend my title against another mandatory challenger and I’m going to show on February 8 why none of the other champions want to face me,” said Russell. “I’m the longest current reigning WBC champion but no one has stepped up to the challenge I present. I’m going to take care of business against a strong opponent and display all my skills like I always do.”

The 27-year-old Nyambayar (11-0, 9 KOs) represented his native Mongolia in the 2012 Olympics but now lives in the U.S. and is training out of Las Vegas. Nyambayar ascended up the featherweight rankings after his extensive amateur career with victories over then unbeaten Harmonito Dela Torre and former interim champion Oscar Escandon. Most recently he won his first 12-round decision by defeating former champion Claudio Marrero in January.

“This is going to be an exciting fight for everyone watching on February 8,” said Nyambayar. “Gary Russell Jr. is a great champion who is very talented, but he has the WBC belt and that’s what I want. I’m training hard to win this fight and I will be ready for anything that Russell brings to the ring.”

Rigondeaux(19-1, 13 KOs) will look to move down and capture a title in a second weight class in his SHOWTIME debut. Since turning professional in 2009 after one of the best amateur careers in history, Rigondeaux has showcased masterful technical skills that made him a unified 122-pound world champion and perennial member of the pound-for-pound list. A two-time Olympic gold medalist for his native Cuba, Rigondeaux made his name with victories over the likes of Nonito Donaire, Rico Ramos and Joseph Agbeko. Most recently, Rigondeaux scored an exciting eighth-round stoppage of former champion Julio Ceja in June.

Born in Venezuela and fighting out of Panama, Solís (30-5-1, 14 KOs) farà la seva U.S. debut on February 8 while riding a five-fight winning streak. Solís captured a super flyweight world title in 2013 amidst a 14-bout unbeaten run. He has lost by decision in his two previous attempts at 118-pound title, including a controversial loss to Jamie McDonnell, which he has bounced back from on his current win streak.

Arboleda (15-1, 13 KOs) has ripped off five straight victories by stoppage since he suffered the only loss of his career against Recky Dulay in 2017. The 25-year-old Arboleda from Curundu, Panama will be fighting in the U.S. for the first time in his career. He’s coming off a knockout victory over Victor Betancourt on August 24.

The 31-year-old Veléz (29-5-1, 21 KOs) has strung together three straight knockout victories since losing to Ryan Garcia in 2018. The Juncos, Puerto Rico resident is coming off a knockout victory over Hector Ruben Ambriz Suarez on July 27 and is looking for another championship opportunity. He came up short in his previous attempt when he fought to a draw against Evgeny Gradovich for the featherweight world title in 2014.

Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz Hammerin’ his way to medical school

Gener 15, 2020 FNU47 Leave a comment

WORCESTER, Missa. (Gener 6, 2020) – Undefeated World Boxing Council (CMB) Youth World lightweight championJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (12-0, 6 KOs) isn’t a typical professional boxer whose life entirely revolves in and around the “Sweet Science.”

The 23-year-old Ortiz is also a licensed carpenter with diverse interests ranging from engineering and psychology to philosophy, and his ultimate post-boxing career aspiration is to attend medical school. First, encara que, Ortiz’ goal is to become world champion, which would be a first for a native of Worcester, Massachusetts.

“I was always fascinated by architecture, starting with my mother’s house, and that spun off to engineering,” Ortiz explained. “I wanted to learn how to build to better understand and became a carpenter after graduating from high school. I’m not worried about getting hurt at work. I do work with my hands, but I’m in the union and everything is safe, and I’m very careful.

“Medical school is my dream. I want to help people working with cells, blood and muscle tissues, understanding the body. I’m not sure if I’ll do research or be working with patients, maybe in internal medicine, but not in traditional medicine. I’m interested in natural, holistic medicine, and working for the benefit of people.”

Ortiz, who started boxing at the age of six, will return to the ring in early 2020 per, most likely, his final WBC Youth World title fight, because this title is for fighters 23 or younger, and Jamaine turns 24 on April 28.

The WBC World Youth title has been a stepping-stone for great champions such asSaul “Canelo” Alvarez, Timothy Bradley,Danny García iLeo Santa Creu, entre els més notables.

“I’m proud to be the WBC World lightweight champion, but I’ll have to give it up in April when I turn 24.,” Ortiz remarked. “I’ll win bigger titles as I get older. This has been good for now, but I’m going on to bigger and better things. I’m confident that I’ll be world champion in 2021 and I want to be a multiple wight-class world champion before I retire.”

Ortiz recently gained even more confidence whenTeofimo Lopez (15-0, 12 KOs) captured the International Boxing Federation (FIB) World lightweight championship, knocking out defending championRichard Commey in the second round this past December.

Al 2015 Guants d'Or Nacionals, Ortiz lost a decision to Lopez in the championship final. “He didn’t do that stuff to me (like he did to Commey),” Ortiz noted. “He didn’t beat me up. I lost a decision, but I showed that I could fight with him. He was nothing like you saw on television (vs. Commey), though. I’ve watched him get better and better.

So is Ortiz and before he swaps his boxing gloves for a stethoscope, he has unfinished business in boxing. Nothing short of capturing a world championship crown will satisfy “The Technician.”

“Realment només tinc una resolució principal per al nou any – cap compromís,”, Va dir Shields. “Això val tant per a la meva vida personal com professional. També vull apropar-me a Déu i mantenir-me invicte. Jo anava a dir que deixeu de maleir també, però això no està passant ".

escuts vs. Habazin obrirà el 2020 any de grans esdeveniments de boxa, amb els Shields que volen convertir-se en el lluitador més ràpid de la història de la boxa, mascle o femella, per convertir-se en campió del món de tres divisions.

"Estic molt content de començar el 2020", va dir Shields. “Va acabar Gervonta Davis 2019 a SHOWTIME i, a continuació, el GWOAT aporta el nou any per a SHOWTIME a 2020. Serà un bon començament d’any. Entraré amb un xoc i disparo contra la eliminatòria.

«Estic molt emocionat de tenir Jaron Ennis a la targeta interior, massa. A mi, és el següent Roy Jones Jr.. de boxa. És llis, té poder, pot boxar i és un atleta dedicat a tot el món. Tinc ganes de compartir la targeta amb ell com a futur campió del món ”.

Shields s’ha entrenat a Miami amb el seu entrenador principal John David Jackson abans del seu debut de 154 lliures i ha pogut mantenir el focus i ha treballat per mantenir-se fort malgrat els dos ajornaments de la lluita.

"Vaig fer 154 lliures a l'octubre abans de la cancel·lació,”, Va dir Shields. “Després de cancel·lar la nostra lluita, Em vaig mantenir actiu i només em vaig posar a sobre 10 lliura. He estat a Florida les darreres sis o set setmanes. Ha estat un treball dur. M’he empès i no prenc a la lleugera Habazin. Vull la eliminatòria perquè Ivana parla massa. Em mantinc concentrat en estar concentrat, i no deixar que ningú em llanci dient tonteries.

«Ja no menjo carn. No he passat més de tres mesos, així que el meu cos està més tonificat ara. En realitat tinc un paquet de sis ja amb una mica més de pes a perdre. Crec que la gent se sorprendrà de la meva versió de 154 lliures. Seré molt fort i molt ràpid perquè bàsicament tinc cinc mesos per preparar-me i preparar-me específicament per a ella ".

Tot i el camp d’entrenament que la porta a través dels nombrosos esdeveniments festius que les masses celebren amb gola, Shields s’ha mantingut disciplinada per davant de la seva oportunitat de fer més història.

"Fer equilibris al voltant de les vacances és una cosa que faig des de fa anys,”, Va dir Shields. “Vaig estalviar molts diners en no tornar a casa per Nadal, això és segur. Però encara vaig parlar amb tota la meva família i vaig connectar amb tothom. Tinc una dieta molt estricta al campament i de fet em vaig entrenar el Nadal. Considero la meva dieta més com un pla de vida en general, i tinc els meus dies on espavilaré, però em mantinc disciplinat ”.

Abans de l’acte de la setmana que ve a Atlantic City, Shields planeja desencadenar i fer una altra declaració en el seu camí cap a una altra actuació guanyadora del campionat.

“No importa el que digui, aquest cop va arribar a l'octubre,”, Va dir Shields. “L’únic que faig és portar-lo a Atlantic City. La faré fora. Vaig a posar-li un cop molt diferent a causa del nivell de falta de respecte que m’ha demostrat. No deixaré que sigui irrespectuosa amb mi i la faré fora per tancar-la ".

Desembre 28, 2019 FNU47 Leave a comment

Robert Duran Jr., son of legendary four division World Champion Roberto Duran, made a successful UK debut on Saturday night, when he fought Nicaragua’s Juan Carlos Santana on the former WBO and IBF Intercontinental Champion Dr Mark Prince OBE’s ‘Jabbing Not Stabbing’ Charity event, to raise funds for the Kiyan Prince Foundation (KPF) www.thekpf.com at the London Irish Centre in Camden, Londres.

Florida, USA based Duran Jr, whose record stood at 3-1-0 prior to his UK trip, joined stars from Professional boxing such as WIBA World Champion and WBC Muay Thai World Champion Denise Castle, British and WBO European Champion Bradley Skeete, WBF International & European Champion Tommy Jacobs and former WBC International Champion Herol Graham and also from Football such as Harry Redknapp and Peter Peter Odemwingie in their support of the Kiyan Prince Foundation (KPF).

Duran Jr. had to be on top form as Santana pulled out all the stops to try and prevent the Floridian securing his maiden UK victory, Duran Jr. though had bought his ‘A game’ and was more than happy to go to war with the tough Nicaraguan and after four scintillating all action rounds it was Duran Jr that Referee Adrian Thorne deemed victorious by a 40-37 marge de punts.

Earlier today Duran Jr said.

“I want to start of by saying that I am very grateful for attending and being part of such a special event, The Kiyan Prince Foundation’s ‘Jabbing Not Stabbing’ that took place last Saturday in London this past Saturday in remembrance of young Kiyan Prince.

“Thank you so much Dr Mark Prince and Mr Gianluca Di Caro for adding me as the headliner of the evening of the fights. Such a special night to showcase my skill and to steer the young youth away from street violence and creating a way out through boxing.

“Much love and appreciation to Dr Prince and Mr Di Caro for the opportunity, I love London and the people returned the love.

“Hope to be back soon and see all my new friends and fans once more. Thank you London!"

In this process, he has had to defeat two of life’s toughest challenges – anger and revenge, find the strength to forgive and the commitment to substitute anger with positive life skills.

About Kiyan Prince:

Kiyan Prince was the first son born to Mark Prince and Tracy Cumberbatch on 25th November 1990.

He was an outgoing and well-loved young man who got along with everybody. Teachers, fellow pupils, Queens Park Rangers football team… in fact anyone who came into contact with Kiyan counted it a privilege to have done so.

On May 18th 2006 Kiyan’s life came to a tragic, untimely and unnecessary end. The loving nature, by which he was known, was what made him step in and defend his friend who was being picked on by another youth.

The incident took place outside the gates of his school, the London Academy, located in Edgware North London. Kiyan attempted to resolve the situation in the most peaceable way by directly challenging the aggressor.

The ‘killer’, 16 year old Hannad Hasan, felt that Kiyan had disrespected him because he stood up to him. He then turned and callously killed Kiyan – plunging a knife straight into his chest. Kiyan died of a single, but fatal, stab wound to his heart.

Kiyan, who played for Queens Park Rangers Under-16’s football team. He was dubbed ‘The Bullet’ because of his speed and he was hailed as the next Wayne Rooney… tipped to play for England.

Kiyan was a beautiful, thoughtful, kind and considerate young man. . How he lived was reflected in the way he died… in probably the last words he ever spoke…

Even though he must have been very scared and in pain… in dying he still represented the life he lived. His heart was so full of love and empathy for others. In his final minutes his thoughts were, fins i tot llavors, still of others. As he lay bleeding he told his friends: “if these are my last words… tell my Mum I love her.”
