Des de l'est de Los Angeles fins al boxeador de pes mosca de l'equip dels EUA Anthony Herrera viu el somni

COLORADO SPRINGS, Volta. (Febrer 20, 2020) - Des dels carrers dolents de l'est de Los Angeles fins a un lloc a l'equip dels EUA és un èxit notable per a pes mosca de 19 anys.Antoni Herrera, que recentment va ser seleccionat per ser membre de la 2020 Equip de classificació de boxa dels Jocs Olímpics de Tòquio.

“Des de molt jove,Herrera va parlar de créixer a l'est de Los Angeles, "Els meus pares sempre em van mantenir fent esport. Estar tan ocupat amb els esports era en realitat una distracció del que passava per la ciutat. Així que, Mai vaig tenir temps de ficar-me en problemes i els meus pares em van allunyar d'un mal estil de vida. Una vegada vaig començar a boxejar, M'ho vaig prendre seriosament, mantenir la concentració i establir objectius. Jo era una mica més gran en aquell moment i si volia o no participar en la boxa o si volia fer-ne una carrera, depenia de mi., i sempre vaig tenir tot el suport dels meus pares. La boxa ha estat una gran part de la meva vida. Sempre estic esperant el proper entrenament o qualsevol cosa relacionada amb la boxa. Forma part de la meva imatge en aquest moment".

Per ara, encara que, Herrera es prepara amb els seus companys als Jocs Olímpics dels Estats Units i al Centre d'entrenament paralímpic de Colorado Springs per al Torneig de Qualificació dels Estats Units., 26 de març-abril 3, a Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Herrera es classificarà per representar el seu país als Jocs Olímpics acabant entre els cinc primers a Buenos Aires, o els sis primers classificats del World Qualifier, Maig 13-14, a París, França.

"Jo crec sota pressió,Herrera va dir: "No deixo que la pressió m'arribi tant mentalment que afecti negativament el meu rendiment. Em fa millorar quan estic al ring. He estat sota pressió tota la meva carrera de boxa. No només m'ha convertit en un millor lluitador en determinades situacions que són intimidants, però també una persona més forta en general. Anar a l'Argentina no és diferent, els nervis encara hi són, però també ho és la meva determinació d'arribar a Tòquio".

La 2018 PAL nacional i 2019 Campió Western Elite Qualifier, Herrera ha acabat recentment segon a la 2020 U.S. Proves olímpiques per equips i tercera a la 2020 Torneig Strandja a Bulgària.

"L'èxit de boxa amateur del qual estic més orgullós és convertir l'equip de qualificació dels Estats Units com a pes mosca.,", va assenyalar. "Va ser difícil arribar fins aquí i saber que vaig superar els obstacles que em vaig enfrontar en aquest llarg viatge cap a on sóc ara em fa molt feliç. Puc dir de veritat que m'ho vaig guanyar..

“El meu primer partit de boxa internacional (La seva platja) era una mica diferent del que estic acostumat. L'equip que vam fer servir i lluitar sense casc creava més risc a l'hora de lluitar, però em vaig divertir en la meva primera lluita internacional. Ja tinc la sensació d'aquest entorn i ara estic més còmode.

“M'agrada molt entrenar a Colorado Springs amb els meus companys, perquè és una gran experiència que només aconsegueixen els millors atletes. També m'encanta entrenar a casa, però a Colorado Springs hi ha menys distraccions. Em concentro al 100% en el meu ofici i puc viatjar més".

Herrera, que descriu el seu estil com un "swarmer", aplicant pressió i trencant el seu oponent, està vivint el somni.

"Lluitar als Jocs Olímpics sempre va ser important per a mi, però aconseguir una medalla d'or és el meu somni,", va afegir. "Sempre ho he volgut perquè ningú no me'l pot treure mai, i la història i el treball que es posa darrere d'una medalla d'or no tenen preu. Al meu entendre, és més difícil que guanyar un títol mundial de boxa professional. Estar tan a prop dels Jocs Olímpics, Estic orgullós de mi mateix però no satisfet. Sé que encara tinc feina per fer i estic fent un pas a la vegada. El següent pas per a mi és classificar-me per als Jocs Olímpics a la qualificació olímpica".

Herrera atribueix part del seu èxit a l'aprenentatge dels boxejadors antics i contemporanis, implementant qualsevol tècnica que utilitzen en el seu estil, Incloent, per exemple, el joc de peus i el moviment del capJuli Cèsar Chavez Sr., iMike Tysonconfiguracions del cos al cap.

Tòquio és molt lluny de l'est de Los Angeles per a Anthony Herrera.

Kendo “Tremendo” Castaneda Training Camp Notes

Febrer. 28º in Florida showdown vs. invicte

NABO champion Yomar “The Magic” Alamo

LAS VEGAS (Febrer 20, 2020) - Súper lleuger invicteKendo “Tremenda” Castaneda (17-0, 8 KOs) has been in training camp since the beginning of this year in Boxers & Brawlers gym in his San Antonio hometown to prepare for his February 28º fight against North American Boxing Organization (TAMBÉ) campióYomar "La màgia" Alamo (17-0-1, 12 KOs) en directe a Boxeo Telemundo, a partir de 11:30 p.m. I / 8:30 p.m. PT, del Osceola Heritage Park a Kissimmee, Florida.

Àlamo vs. Castañeda és co-promocionat per All-Star Boxing, que promociona Alamo i l'esdeveniment, i el promotor de Castaneda, Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Promocions de boxa.

“This is the biggest fight of Kendo’s career to date,” CEO & Co-FounderKeith Veltre said. “He is the type fighter who doesn’t back down from anyone and knows what it takes to get the win. Kendo trains hard and we are fully confident that he will come home with the win.”

 
The 26-year-old Castaneda, qui ocupa el lloc n. 15 per l'Organització Mundial de Boxa (OMB),  will take on WBO No. 8-rated Alamo, the defending NABO super lightweight champion, in the 10-round main event.

Castaneda va capturar l'Associació Nord-americana de Boxa vacant (També) corona fa un any, prenent una decisió de 10 rondes d'invicte prèviamentGilbert Venegas, Jr.(10-0), i va seguir amb una impressionant decisió unànime de 10 rondes sobre el veterà dominicàEudy Berbardo (24-3).

El passat mes d'octubre a Reno, Nevada, Castaneda es va aturarStan Martyniouk (20-3) a la sisena ronda, després de la qual cosa va ser instal·lat per l'Organització Mundial de Boxa com el seu número núm. 15 classificat súper lleuger al món.

OMB núm. 8 classificat Alamo, lluitant fora de Puerto Rico, is coming off the lone blemish on either fighter’s pro record, a draw withAntonio Moran (24-4-1).

Àlamo, 24, és l'antic Consell Mundial de Boxa (CMB) Campió del món juvenil i FECARBOX superlleuger, que ha defensat amb èxit tres títols NABO.

Training Camp Notes

(quotes from Kendo Castaneda)

Training Camp: “Everything here has been good. I’m ready to rock and get back in the ring. I’ll have no trouble making weight for this fight. My sparring partners are local guys, some pros, and other amateurs. I like helping up-and-coming fighters who want to turn pro. They have natural speed at 18, 19 anys, but their strength hasn’t fully developed, yet. They learn and I get good work. My No. 1 sparring partner, Limon, has had more than 100 amateur fights. His style is similar to Alamo’s. He’s tall and lengthy, but not as powerful as Alamo. He throws great jabs and boxes well, which will help me when I fight Alamo.

Yomar Alamo:  “He fights off his back foot a lot. He likes to box and is a good counter-puncher.

He’s undefeated but who knows how he wants to fight?  I like razzle-dazzle and I’ll quickly learn what I’m in for.”

Fighting in Alamo’s backyard: “I’m not concerned about that at all. My first fight with RJJ Boxing was in Las Vegas against a local fighterChuy Gutiérrez, and I won that fight. I don’t mind fighting in my opponent’s backyard and I’m getting used to it. My last fight was in Reno against a California fighter, who lived a lot closer to Reno than I do in San Antonio. And I fought a local fighter in New Hampshire, when I had a bare-knuckle fight.”

How do you envision this fight going:  “Alamo will go into the fight thinking it’s going to be a boxing match, almost like an exhibition starting the fight. But I’m going to go in strong, like a street fight, banging him around. I’ll catch him with some surprises, throwing hard blows. In the third or fourth round, I’ll start boxing more. Then it’s going to be too much for him, and I’ll take him out in the eighth or ninth round.”

Bout importance: “I think I’ll possibly get a world championship eliminator fight with an impressive victory. I’m a rare, old-fashioned boxer.”

Predicció:  “The referee will be announcing, ‘And the new NABO champion…..’”

MENG FANLONG EARNS TITLE SHOT VS. BETERBIEVLOOKS TO BRING HAPPINESS TO HOMELAND AT DIFFICULT TIME

Febrer 17 de, Nova York — China’s Meng Fanlong (16-0, 10 KOs) will fight IBF & WBC light heavyweight champion, Artur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KOs), March 28th at the Videotron Center in Quebec City, Canadà. Beterbiev vs. Meng is presented by Top Rank in association with Groupe Yvon Michel and Gestev, and will be broadcast live on ESPN along with a co-feature bout at 10 PM ET.

Fanlong, who is from Chifeng, Inner Mongolia China, has more than just his world title shot on his mind. His home country has been essentially shut down due to the recent Coronavirus outbreak.

“The majority of my country has been shut down for weeks.” Says Meng. “My fellow citizens need something to help them escape from this very difficult time. I hope to bring some positivity, happiness, and joy to them with this fight. I want to put pride in their hearts.”




On the 28th of March, Meng will be stepping into the ring with one of boxing’s most dangerous punchers. Champion Artur Beterbiev has won all of his professional fights by knockoutincluding his thrilling title unification bout against Oleksandr Gvozdyck in October. Meng was in attendance that night in Philadelphia and observed with great interest.

But facing one of boxing’s most dangerous fighters in the ring pales in comparison to the concerns and troubles that are affecting hundreds of millions of Chinese across the globe.

“Fanlong is the best Chinese fighter in the worldeveryone will learn that on March 28th.” Says Meng advisor Tommy Lane. “This is a historic fight because he is the first Chinese boxer to fight for the light heavyweight championship. And with what is going on with coronavirus, this is a fight that can bring joy and positive energy to the people at this challenging time.”

It is unknown when the coronavirus will be under control or when the citizens of the The People’s Republic of China can get back to normal life.

“My country needs me. We will get through this.”

Tickets for Beterbiev vs. Meng can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.ca or the Videotron Center box office Meng. More event details will be announced at a later time. For interview requests and media opportunities, please contact Terry Lanetmlane@gmail.com.

Nashville, Tenn. (Febrer 15, 2020) – Lluitant davant d’una descarada multitud de la ciutat natal per primera vegada en la seva carrera professional, invicte campió del món de pes mitjà de la IBF Caleb “Sweethands” Planta (20-0, 12 KOs) posar en un espectacle.

La planta domina el desafiament obligatori Vincent Feigenbutz (31-3, 28 KOs) d'Alemanya, Fer un 10º-ronda TKO dissabte a la nit a l'esdeveniment principal FOX PBC Fight Night i a FOX Deportes des del Bridgestone Arena de Nashville.

Planta, que va créixer a la veïna Ashland City, va fer amb èxit la segona defensa del títol mundial que va guanyar al gener 2019 amb una emocionant decisió unànime de 12 rondes sobre el llavors titular Jose Uzcategui. “Sweethands” va estar a l'altura del seu sobrenom, trencant l’alemany Feigenbutz abans d’allunyar-lo.

“Aquesta nit em va alimentar molt la gent,” Va dir la planta. “Podria haver anat tota la nit. Va sortir tota la ciutat. Nashville es posa de peu!”

Plant els va donar moltes coses per animar-se des de la campana inicial, aterrant el punxó amunt i avall. L’agressiu Feigenbutz, 24, va lluitar per aconseguir qualsevol cosa a canvi.

Plant va començar a aterrar les combinacions al tercer, fent pujar la multitud amb una sèrie de salves ben col·locades.

Mireu els moments destacats de la ronda inicial AQUÍ i AQUÍ.

Aquests trets van passar factura lentament, però Feigenbutz era un joc. Va arribar viu al sisè, fixant Plant contra les cordes i descarregant les seves pròpies combinacions. La planta es va tapar i va sacsejar el cap com si no li molestés.

Mira com Feigenbutz es replega a la ronda 6 AQUÍ.

La planta va picar Feigenbutz al setè i vuitè, obrint-li un tall al nas i inflant l’ull dret. El desafiant va absorbir més càstigs al novè, provocant que el metge de la platja el mirés durament entre les rondes.

Veure la planta dominar la ronda 9 AQUÍ.

El final va arribar ràpidament al 10º com a Planta, sentir que el seu enemic es debilitava, es va apallissar fins que l'àrbitre Malik Waleed va entrar amb compassió. L’hora oficial de l’aturada era 2:23 del 10è.

Mireu l’aturada a la Ronda 10 AQUÍ.

“Em vaig sentir molt bé per aquí,” aquesta planta. “Estava relaxat i agut. Ja et vaig dir que ho detindria abans de la 12a ronda. Vull dedicar-ho a la meva filla, a la meva mare, el meu avi i tota la ciutat de Nashville.”

El campió també va manifestar el seu desig d’unir-se contra el seu rival i el seu homòleg invicte, David Benavidez.

“Tothom sap que vull aquesta lluita per la unificació amb David Benavidez,” Planta declarada. “Sabeu qui és el millor 168 lliures. Si vols això, has de venir a veure’m. Vull aquesta baralla; Ho he estat demanant i estic fart d’esperar!”

En l'esdeveniment co-principal, Abel Ramos va aconseguir una impressionant victòria del TKO de l'últim segon sobreBryant Perrella en un partit de pes welter de 10 rondes programat. Direcció cap al 10ºi la ronda final, els seus cantoners van dir a Ramos que necessitava un eliminatòria per guanyar. Ramos (26-3-2, 20 KOs) lliurat, fent mal i deixant caure Perrella dues vegades en els segons minvants del quadre, cosa que va provocar que l'àrbitre Jack Reiss anul·lés el coprimestre de pes welter amb només un segon per acabar.

“Sé que la lluita no s’ha acabat fins que no s’acaba,” va dir Ramos. “Aquest és el joc. Fa dues setmanes que estic malalt. Però no hi ha excuses. Volia venir aquí i actuar.

“Vaig veure la lluita de Chavez-Taylor com 10 milions de vegades i mai vaig pensar que seria en alguna cosa així. Simplement demostra que les baralles no s’acaben mai fins que s’acaba. Has de lluitar cada segon de cada ronda.”

Mireu Ramos atordir Perrella al final de la ronda 10 AQUÍ.

Perrella (17-3, 14 KOs) estava en les tres cartes en el moment de l’aturada; 87-84 i dues puntuacions de 88-83.

“Això és la boxa. És com Meldrick Taylor i Chávez,” Said Perrella, d'acord amb Ramos’ comentaris. “Tot això passa. No vaig a treure res del meu oponent. Guanyava cada ronda de forma convincent. Què puc dir,? Quedava segon a la 10a ronda. És com una agulla al paller. És el que és.”

Southpaw Perrella va controlar gran part de l'acció, utilitzant moviment de costat a costat, angles i combinacions de foc ràpid per sufocar Ramos’ ofensa. Un ganxo esquerre al tercer va tancar breument Ramos. Un altre del cinquè el va sorprendre.

“Perrella és un lluitador dur,” va dir Ramos. “És un fort, lluitador fort. No tinc més que respecte per ell. Esperava una baralla dura i això va passar.”

Ramos mai va deixar d’avançar, agafant el ritme mentre Perrella es desaccelerava. Amb 34 segons restants al fitxer 10º, Ramos va aterrar a la barbeta una esquinçada superior perfecta. Perrella es va enfonsar a la catifa, aixecar-se sobre cames inestables. Ramos es va precipitar un cop es va reprendre l'acció, descarregant fins que una dreta recta va conduir Perrella cap a terra. De nou, es va posar en peu però no podia caminar recte sense ensopegar. Reiss ho va fer immediatament 2:59.

“Tot anava bé, i guanyava la baralla, ronda a ronda,” Said Perrella. “No ho sé. Això és la boxa. Això és l’esport. És el que és. No hi puc fer res. No vaig a inventar excuses ni a treure res del meu oponent. És només una experiència que visqueu a la vida i l’heu de superar. Absolutament, m’agradaria tornar a fer-ho amb ell. Podem obtenir una revenja segur.”

“Vull tots els pesos welter,” Va exclamar Ramos. “M’agradaria tenir una altra gran baralla televisiva i sortir per demostrar-me.”

L'obridor FOX PBC Fight Night va presentar una batalla d'anada i tornada entre pesos lleugersAustin Dulay i Diego Magdaleno. Magdaleno va produir una de les millors actuacions de la seva carrera, deixant caure Dulay en el seu camí cap a una victòria per decisió unànime de deu rondes en un trastorn menor.

La Magdaleno, de 33 anys (32-3, 13 KOs) era simplement més ocupat, particularment en el tram en aquesta batalla de southpaws.

“Sabia mentalment que podia trencar-lo,” va dir Magdaleno. “Si atacés el cos, Sabia que podia trencar-lo. És una perspectiva jove. És més alt que jo, de manera que el meu pla d’atac era apropar-me i anar al cos.”

Dulay no va estar d'acord amb la decisió. “Vaig caure a l’infern cada ronda, fent-lo trobar a faltar, captures de trets, contrarestar. Sí, em va colpejar amb uns bons trets corporals. Això no substitueix els forts tirs pels quals el vaig colpejar a cada ronda 10 arrodoneix recte. Això és una bogeria. I va ser una decisió unànime? És una bogeria. Això és increïble per a mi.

“Fins i tot Diego em va dir que no tenia res a veure amb la decisió. Ell sap. Com em poden fer això a la meva ciutat natal? Això és un home brut.”

Lluitant davant dels seus companys de Nashville, Dulay (13-2, 10 KOs) va començar ràpid, aterrant diverses esquerres netes a la segona. Magdaleno no va deixar mai d’avançar-se, treballant darrere del punxó i aterrant al cos de Dulay.

Mireu l’acció inicial entre Austin Dulay i Diego Magdaleno AQUÍ iAQUÍ.

Alguns d'aquests tirs es van desviar, cosa que va provocar l'advertència de l'àrbitre Jack Reiss. No obstant això, la feina va donar els seus fruits a mesura que la producció de Dulay va caure al llarg del combat. El sisè va comptar amb alguns dels millors intercanvis del combat. Magdaleno va superar-los, aterrant a la dreta cap a les costelles seguit per un al pis de dalt.

Magdaleno va continuar pressionant l'atac al setè, aconseguint l’únic enderroc de la lluita amb un dur ganxo esquerre al plexe solar.

Mira Magdaleno anotar una derrota contra Dulay a la ronda 7 AQUÍ.

Un cop reprès l'acció, Magdaleno va colpejar-li les costelles fins que un ganxo esquerre es va desviar i va deixar caure Magdaleno, fent que Reiss dedueixi un punt.

“Cada ronda em pegava poc i, al darrera, i als malucs,” va dir Dulay.
“Van ser més vegades del que li van demanar. Vaig guanyar aquesta baralla al 100%.”

Sentint que la baralla s’escapava, Dulay va agafar el ritme durant les tres darreres rondes. No va ser suficient per superar el ritme de treball de Magdaleno, la qual cosa li va valer una victòria per una vintena de 97-91, 96-92 i 96-92.

“L’experiència té tot per a mi. En la meva baralla anterior, Vaig perdre el cap,” va dir Magdaleno. “Aquesta vegada em vaig prendre el meu temps. El meu camp va dir que alentiu-lo. Feliç per la victòria d’aquesta nit.”

A la targeta interior no televisada, antic campió del món de pes gallo Rau’Shee “Nuke” Cau (17-3, 4 KOs) va acabar un acomiadament de 13 mesos amb una àmplia decisió unànime de deu rodes Gilberto Mendoza (15-8-3, 7 KOs).

Warren, de 33 anys, va utilitzar les seves mans ràpides per aconseguir un assortiment de trets des de la seva postura esquerrana. A la quarta, un xoc de caps va obrir un tall a l’ull esquerre del Mendoza de Mèxic. Warren va intentar tancar l'espectacle, però Mendoza era un joc, disparant enrere encara que superat.

Dos jutges la van anotar 99-91 i el tercer jutge la tenia 100-90.

“Va estar bé tornar-hi després d’estar un any fora,” Warren va dir. “No em sentia com un novell. Em sentia com si m’hagués d’oxidar una mica. Però crec que em vaig treure la major part de l’òxid quan estava a l’entrenament del gimnàs. Va 10 rondes se sentia bé.”

“Espero tornar al maig,” va dir Warren. “Només necessito 90 dia. Ja tinc el meu llarg acomiadament des del gener passat, quan vaig lluitar amb la targeta de Pacquiao i Adrien. Estic preparat per aconseguir-ho. Estic preparat per seguir endavant. L’únic que va fer que no esperava que fes va ser mantenir-se despert.”

L'esdeveniment va ser promogut per Sweethands Promotions, Promocions TGB i promocions Sauerland.

ISAAC CRUZ SCORES UPSET WIN OVER SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION VETERAN THOMAS MATTICE FRIDAY ON SHOWTIME®

PHILADELPHIA – February 15, 2020 - Undefeated 21-year-old lightweight prospect Isaac Cruz stunnedShoBox: La Nova Generacióveteran Thomas Mattice in a closely contested majority decision win in theShoBoxmain event Friday night from 2300 Sorra a Filadèlfia, Pare. Watch the fight highlightsAQUÍ.

Creu, de la Ciutat de Mèxic, rode his superior work rate, a lethal body attack, and his ability to neutralize Mattice’s jab to the victory. Els jutges van marcar la lluita 95-95 i 96-94 dues vegades.

Cruz threw an average of 69.4 cops per ronda, comparat amb 57.8 punches per round for Mattice. The much shorter Cruz, standing at 5’4” ½, was fearless from the opening bell and held an 82-31 advantage in body punches connected. Mattice, 5’8” ½, was also out-jabbed 34-30. Making his sixth appearance onShoBox, Cleveland’s Mattice was hampered by another slow start, a theme in his previous appearances on the prospect development series. Through the first two rounds, Cruz held advantages of 49-15 in overall punches landed and 39-8 in power punches connected.

“We were going for the knockout but it didn’t come up so we’ll take the decision,"Va dir Creu. “I thought I won all 10 rondes. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. Round one to 10 I dominated and I was never hurt.”

A strong finish in the 10º and final round was not enough for Mattice to salvage a draw.

“I came up short,” said Mattice. “He was the better man. He could hit a little bit. I started out a little slow, trying to see what he had. He jumped out to an early lead and I was just trying to get familiar with his power. No tinc excuses. Ell va ser el millor home aquesta nit ".

En la baralla co-estel·lar, Ra’eese Aleem (16-0, 10 KOs) burst onto the scene in his national television debut, putting on a boxing clinic by scoring a fourth-round TKO in a scheduled eight-round super bantamweight bout over San Antonio’s Adam Lopez (19-4-2, 9 KOs).

Aleem, from Muskegon, Mich., proved to be overwhelming for Lopez, who was making his record eighth appearance onShoBox.Des de la campana inicial, Aleem attacked from all angles as a reactive and slower Lopez was unable to cope with the wide array of punches. The 29-year-old Aleem held a commanding 92-11 advantage in overall punches, including a lopsided 61-7 power punches advantage.

With blood dripping from his nose and scalp, Lopez’s corner asked referee Gary Rosato to stop the fight at 1:31 de la quarta ronda. Watch the TKOAQUÍ.

“I put in a lot of hard work,” said Aleem, who now lives and trains in Las Vegas. “I didn’t see any film on the guy but knew he was a tough Mexican fighter. Once we got in there, I could see the speed difference. I could see his punches coming. I did rush some punches and made some mistakes. But it was good and I kept my hands up and my speed and movements were good. And I’m glad I stopped him. I didn’t want to go the distance.

“I want a world title fight and I’m knocking on the door. I’m hungry and I’m ready. I know Danny Roman just lost the title. Brandon Figueroa, whoever is there in the top-10 I’m ready for. I’m hungry and I’m coming and I want that fight.”

En el segon combat de la retransmissió de quatre baralles, Cleveland’s flashy unbeaten super lightweight Montana Love (13-0-1, 6 KOs) va millorar el seu rècord a 2-0-1 aShoBox, putting in a professional display en route to a unanimous decision over Jerrico Walton (16-1, 7 KOs), who fights out of Houston by way of New Orleans.

“I think Love did enough to win,” said SHOWTIME Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. “The rounds he won, he won more convincingly. Love did the serious damage in the fight.”

Walton, with noted trainer Ronnie Shields working his corner, threw slightly more punches than Love, but in a fight decided by big moments, Love had more of them, especialment en els últims rounds. Love was more accurate on his power punches (43 percent to 21 per cent) and in body shots (56-23). The southpaw also hurt Walton on two separate occasions, but the 29-year-old did enough to hang on and survive the rounds.

“I give my performance a C-plus,” said the 25-year-old Love. “I could have been more active in there. I didn’t get hit a lot and I hurt him a few times but I let him off the hook.

“I was getting off good shots, and the thing I’m mad about is that the fight should not have gone the distance. I’m ready for whatever’s next. My team is trying to get me to 135 lliura ".

Walton was making his national television debut. “I think the fight was closer than it was scored; I think it was at least a draw,"Ell va dir. “I don’t think the fight was 78-74. I’m very disappointed but I’m not going to stop. They’re going to see me again. This is only going to push me harder.”

With his first career loss, Walton became the 191st fighter to lose his undefeated record onShoBoxboxing’s ultimate proving ground.

In a battle of unbeaten super welterweights making theirShoBox debuts in the telecast opener, North Carolina’s Joseph Jackson (16-0, 12 KOs) handed Derrick Colemon, Jr. (11-1, 8 KOs) his first career loss. Jackson overcame a slow start to earn the unanimous decision. Les puntuacions van ser 77-75, 80-72, 78-74. Watch the decisionAQUÍ.

The younger and more aggressive Colemon of Detroit started strong, controlling the first three rounds before the savvier and more mature Jackson commanded the second half of the bout. In rounds six through eight, Jackson out-landed Colemon 76-19 en general i 50-9 en cops de poder. Jackson’s movement and activity frustrated and tired Colemon, who went past five rounds for the first time in his career. Farhood scored the first three rounds in favor of Colemon and the final five rounds for Jackson.

“We just dug deep and got the job done,” said the 31-year-old Jackson. “I’d give my performance an eight out of 10. I know I can show better. I had about 40 people come out from Greensboro, N.C., and support me.

“I’ll fight whoever they put out in front of me next. It’s SHOWTIME and my first televised fight and first fight outside of North Carolina so it was important to put on a show.”

Friday’s fights were promoted by King’s Promotions in association with GH3 Promotions. The full telecast will replay on Monday, Febrer 17 a 10 p.m. ET/PT a SHOWTIME EXTREME i estarà disponible a SHOWTIME EN QUALSEVOL MOMENT® i SHOWTIME a DEMANDA®.

Deontay WILDER VS. TYSON FURY II IS AS BIG AS IT GETS

Unbeaten WBC Heavyweight Champion Wilder & Undefeated Lineal Heavyweight Champion Fury Square Off in Highly Anticipated Rematch Taking Place Saturday, Febrer 22 in Historic Mega PPV Event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas


LAS VEGAS (Febrer 13, 2020) – The upcoming rematch between WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay “El bombarder de Bronze” Wilder and lineal champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fúria is the biggest heavyweight title fight in history.

Literally.

Standing 6’7and 6’9″ respectivament, Wilder and Fury create the greatest combined height ever seen in a bout for the WBC, Ring Magazine and lineal heavyweight titles, standing a collective 13 feet and 4 inches. The only heavyweight title bouttaller,” per dir-ho, took place in 2007, when the 7-foot Nikolay Valuev defended his WBA heavyweight title against the 6’6″ Jameel McCline. But never before have the sport’s very best big men been as large as they are today.

To put in perspective how large Wilder and Fury are, it’s best to compare them to the land of giants: The NBA. Consider the fact that at 6’7and in the neighborhood of 220 lliura, Wilder is the same size as Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard. Fúria, meanwhile, is nearly identical to LeBron James in terms of height and weight.

These days, a look at the Top 10 of any rankings you choose shows that most contenders are built like Super Bowl champion tight end Travis Kelce, who stands 6’6and weighs around 250 lliura.

As anyone who watched the thrilling first contest between Wilder and Fury will know, the two are indeed athletes, far from the lumbering behemoths you might expect men of their measurements to be. Wilder might be known for his titanic one-punch power, but he’s displayed some truly dynamic movement in the ring as well. Go watch the tape of his knockout of Bermane Stiverne and watch him bound laterally to create angles before landing his devastating shots, juking like a wide receiver in the open field, and you can see why Wilder dreamt of playing college football at Alabama when he was in high school.

Fury never dreamt of doing anything other than boxing-how could you when you were named after a heavyweight legend and born into a family rich with fighting history in Ireland. But theGypsy Kingwas also born with remarkable nimbleness to go along with a lifetime of developed boxing acumen, gliding around the ring and boxing with a style that would befit a welterweight, not a power forward-sized heavyweight.

Wilder and Fury are distinctive because ironically, giants aren’t usually dominant in sporting fields. While some have been all-time greats-i.e. the 6’9Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara, who is a lock for the Hockey Hall of Fame-often times big men are known mostly just for being big, and don’t reach the pinnacle of their sport. And understandably so. Being colossally large is often a hindrance in as many ways as it’s an advantage, particularly when it comes to movement and dexterity. The NFL’s tallest player, seven-footer Richard Singh, played just eight career games, the MLB’s all-time tallest player, the 6’11Jon Rauch, was a journeyman reliever, and tennis’ 6’10and 6’11skyscrapers Ivo Karlovic, John Isner and Rilley Opelka have no majors to their names.

As human beings have become bigger and stronger over the years, naturalment, so have boxers. Rocky Marcià, standing 5’10 ½and weighing just above 180 lliura, would be a tiny cruiserweight by today’s standards. Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali, considered by many to be the two greatest heavyweights of all-time, and certainly not tiny fighters in their time, stood 6’1 ½and 6’3″ respectivament. Theoretically, Louis would give up nine inches in reach to Fury, whose wingspan is 85″. There were outliers in earlier eras, of course-Jess Willard and Ernie Terrell were 6’6and above and captured heavyweight titles-but for decades it was possible to be the size of a modern cruiserweight and not just compete, but be an imposing figure in the division.

Things began to change in the late 80s and 90s, when Tony Tucker, Riddick Bowe and Lennox Lewis, a trio of 6’6heavies captured belts. But the modern era was ushered in by Vitali and Wladimir Klitscko, el 6’6″ brothers who essentially ruled the division for the better part of a decade before Fury unseated Wladimir for the lineal crown in 2015.


Boxing has had its share of giants through the years, many of which have fallen short of the elite levels. In recent times, fans will remember the much-hyped American prospect Tye Fields, a towering 6’8southpaw who despite a massive amount of hype, never fought for a world title. Julius “The Towering InfernoLong started his career 5-0, and at 7’1with a 90reach looked like a force to be reckoned with, before settling in as one of the sport’s most notorious journeymen and reliable sparring partners.

Wilder and Fury are a remarkable blend of size and athleticism and are bucking the trend that you can betoo bigto be great. As the rematch nears, it’s exciting-or perhaps scary-to think about the next evolution of heavyweights that will come after these two. There was a time when the great George Foreman, at 6’3and with a 78″ arribar, or Larry Holmes at 6’3with an 81″ arribar, were considered among the most daunting physical presences to ever step in the ring. But Wilder and Fury have set a new physical standard. Will NBA-sized heavyweights become the norm in the coming years?

At least for the moment, Wilder and Fury are far from normal. They’re colossal presences, si, but they’re also the two very best heavyweights in the world at the peak of their powers, looking to follow up one of the most memorable fights, and hotly debated draws in recent history.

Who will stand tall on February 22?

LAS VEGAS – Febrer 12, 2020 – Fast-rising super lightweight prospects Richardson Hitchins (10-0, 5 KOs) i Nick DeLomba(16-2, 5 KOs) open up about training camp ahead of their ShoBox: La Nova Generació co-featured bout Friday, Febrer 28 en viu per SHOWTIME (10:45 p.m. ET / PT) de Sam's Town Live a Las Vegas.



Al ShoBox esdeveniment principal, unbeaten Mayweather Promotions’ prospect Malik Hawkins (18-0, 11 KOs) will return for his second appearance on SHOWTIME as he goes toe-to-toe with undefeated Vegas native Keith Hunter (11-0, 7 KOs) en 10 assalts en pes superlleuger. The opening bout of the telecast will see Kevin “The Second Coming” Newman (11-1-1, 6 KOs) against an opponent to be announced in a 10-round super middleweight bout. The previously announced opponent, Kalvin Henderson, has withdrawn from the fight due to an injury.



Tickets for the Mayweather Promotions’ Sin City Showdown start at $25 i es pot comprar a: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/.



Hitchins, de Brooklyn, N.Y., returns for his second consecutive test on the prospect developmental series. En la seva última baralla, he earned a unanimous decision over Kevin Johnson at Sam’s Town. Hitchins, a 22-year-old 2016 Haití olímpic, has gained notoriety for having the skillset of a veteran with a gritty and slick style inside the ring. Hitchins has credited some of his boxing development to advice and pointers he has gotten from world champion Daniel Jacobs and Shakur Stevenson, and stablemate Gervonta Davis.



“Nice” DeLomba, lluitant fora de Cranston, R.I., is coming off a five-fight win streak with three out of five wins by knockout. He’s best known for his slickness and elusiveness in the ring and looks to make a powerful statement in foreign territory as he makes his Las Vegas and ShoBox debuts.



Here is what Hitchins and DeLomba had to say ahead of the February 28 match-up:



How has training camp been going in preparation for February 28?



Hitchins: “Camp is good, but I’m always in camp. There’s never a time when I’m not preparing and perfecting my craft, I’m really a student of the game. I know that I’m approaching that next level in my career, so I have to stay sharp and in the gym to perform at that next level.



“I’m headed to Colorado to finish training camp. It’s where the Olympic training center is, and it’s a place I’ve gone a couple of times to finish my camp. The air is better up there and that really helps me to get in better shape going into the fight.”



DeLomba: “Training camp is going wonderful. I’m getting everything I need to prepare for the fight: nutrició, meal plans, and strength and conditioning. I’ve added a new strength and conditioning coach and I’ve tweaked things to adjust to Hitchins’ style. I’m ready to go and I can’t wait for fight night.”



What is your game plan going into this fight?



Hitchins: "My game plan is the same for every fight. Stay composed and be the first to strike. I’m at a point in my career where the competition is getting tougher so the main thing for me is keeping my defense tight. My defense will keep me in good shape during the fights as the competition gets steep. But overall, I always have the mindset that I’m the better, més intel·ligent, and faster fighter.



“I surround myself with champions. That’s the only way to become one and this fight gets me one step closer.”



DeLomba: “I plan to go in and fight smart; stick to the game plan my team has for me and execute it well. My goal is to overcome whatever he tries to throw at me.”



Què saps del teu oponent?



Hitchins: “I don’t know much. He’s who my team picked for me so I’m just going to get the job done and take him out. En la nit del combat, I’ll have a clearer idea of how to get him out. I can adjust to anything.”



DeLomba: “I know my opponent has quick hands and likes to throw speedy shots. I’m completely focused on myself and my training. I believe in my abilities as a fighter. I’m not intimidated.”



What will a victory on February 28º do for your career going forward?



Hitchins: “Another win carries me to that next level. Tinc gana, I come from nothing, so I stay with a chip on my shoulder. I’m appreciative of my team, Mayweather Promotions, and to SHOWTIME for providing me with this opportunity to build my name in the sport and show the world what I can do.”



DeLomba: “A win over Hitchins will catapult me to that next level. It’s a televised bout and this will bring me the exposure I need to branch out and expose myself to a new audience. It will improve my career tremendously.”

Celebrated manager Jackie Kallen predicts unbeaten Mykquan Williams will be her sixth world champion

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Febrer 12, 2020) – Women’s pioneerJackie Kallen, the first and arguably most successful female manager in the boxing history, strongly believes unbeaten 21-year-old“Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 KOs) will develop into her sixth world champion.

Williams, fighting out of East Hartford, Connecticut, is the reigning the World Boxing Council (CMB) United States super lightweight champion.

“Mykey has a lot of the qualities as some of the greats in boxing,” Kallen said. “He has some of the flash and speed of fighters like Ray Leonard, and the training habits and dedication of Thomas Hearns i Mike Tyson. He also has a killer smile and good looks like Hector Camacho, Sr.

“Mykey can go all the way to a world title. He has the speed, actitud, and heart, along with exceptional boxing ability. He has been groomed perfectly by his trainer, Paul Cichon, who has kept Mykey true to his style, working hard to perfect his skill. Mykey trains hard, eats right, and takes the game seriously.”

“Jackie’s very experienced and knowledgeable in boxing,” Williams remarked. “She’s worked with some great, world-class fighters, so she knows the route to take for me to get there.”

Cichon added, “I sought out Jackie as our manager because of her love for the sports, as well as the knowledge of that she brings to the table. She’s very well respected, as she certainly deserves to be.”

Boxing has dramatically changed since Kallen covered her first fight for a Detroit daily newspaper in 1978. The card showcased Hearns andMickey Goodwin.  She became an instant fan and wrote about boxing on a regular basis. A legendary trainer/manager based in DetroitEmanuel Steward, hired her as a publicist for his famed Kronk Gym. Some of her best friends to this day are fighters who she worked with back then. She and Hearns still get together.

After serving as Kronk’s publicist for a decade, Kallen decided to branch out and she started managing fighters. Her first client was heavyweightBobby Hitz, who today is a successful promoter and restaurateur in Chicago. She went on to manage a group of Who’s Who fighters, incloent campions del mónJames ToneyBronco McKartTom "Boom Boom" JohnsonPinklon Thomas iNonito Donaire.

Kallen, who overcame sexism in the boxing industry, is best known, potser, for her working relationship with Toney, largely because her life during that period was the inspiration for the popular 2004 pel·lícula, Against the Ropes, starringMeg Ryan as Kallen.

“Boxing today is a totally different animal,” she explained. “That’s not to say it’s better or worse, just different. There used to be more gyms in every city, heavy amateur programs, lots of shows on television networks, and enough local club shows to keep a young fighter active. I had guys back then who fought 8 a 10 times a year, la qual, per descomptat, is almost impossible in 2020.

“There wasn’t as much information available on opponents either. If you were lucky, you could buy a tape. If the fighter hadn’t been on television, encara que, you were out of luck. There was no Internet, so there was nothing like BoxRec to check opponents’ records. You just had to believe the matchmaker. I had fighters expecting to fight a 14-4 guy who found out at the weigh in that he was actually 16-0.”

Boxa, likely the second-oldest profession, has continued to survive, albeit often on a roller-coaster ride.

“Today’s fighters are not as quick to fight each other as they were in the days of Hearns/Hagler/Leonard/Duran,” Kallen noted. “Back then, fighters wanted to really fight to be the best they could be. I see fighters today being more analytical and taking less chances.

“There are also more sanctioning organizations today. Back then it was most the WBA, WBC and IBF. Not to mention there was never one person who managed dozens and dozens of boxers at the same time. The game has definitely changed!"

Kallen, though is still heavily invested in the sport she loves. Confident Williams will be her next world champion, her dream is to be inducted into the Hall of Fame with Toney.

“In 1992,Kallen concluded, “I was named ‘Manager of the Year’ and my love for the sport has never waned. As long as there is talent out there needing guidance, I will stay active.”
