From East LA to Team USA Flyweight boxer Anthony Herrera is living the dream

Lascia un commento

COLORADO SPRINGS, Giro. (Febbraio 20, 2020) – From the mean streets of East Los Angeles to a berth on Team USA is a remarkable achievement for 19-year-old flyweightAnthony Herrera, who recently was selected to be a member of the 2020 Olympic Games Tokyo Boxing Qualification Team.

“Since I was very young,” Herrera spoke about growing up in East LA, “my parents always kept me in sports. Being so occupied with sports was actually a distraction from what was going on around the city. So, I never had time to get into trouble and my parents kept me away from a bad lifestyle. Once I started boxing, I took it seriously, staying focused and setting goals. I was a little older at that time and whether or not I wanted to partake in boxing or wanted to make a career out of it was all up to me, and I always had my parents full support. Boxing has been a big part of my life. I’m always looking forward to the next workout or anything boxing related. It’s part of my image at this point.”

Per ora, anche se, Herrera is preparing with his teammates at the United States Olympics and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for the America’s Qualification Tournament, 26 marzo-aprile 3, a Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Herrera will qualify to represent his country at the Olympics by finishing among the top five in Buenos Aires, or first six placers at the World Qualifier, Maggio 13-14, a Parigi, France.

“I thrive under pressure,” Herrera said. “I don’t let pressure get to me mentally so much that it negatively impacts my performance. It makes me perform better when I’m in the ring. I’ve been under pressure my whole boxing career. Not only has it made me a better fighter in certain situations that are intimidating, but also a stronger person overall. Going to Argentina is no different, the nerves are still there, but so is my determination to get to Tokyo.”

La 2018 National PAL and 2019 Western Elite Qualifier champion, Herrera recently finished second at the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials and third at the 2020 Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria.

“The amateur boxing accomplishment I’m most proud of is making the United States Qualification Team as a flyweight,” he noted. “It was tough to make it here and knowing that I overcame the obstacles I faced on this long journey to where I’m at now makes me very happy. I can truly say I earned it.

“My first International boxing match (Strandja) was a little different from what I’m used to. The equipment we used and fighting without headgear created more risk when fighting, but I had fun in my first international fight. I already have the feel for that environment and am more comfortable now.

“I really enjoy training in Colorado Springs with my teammates, because it’s a great experience that only the best athletes get. I love training at home as well, but there are less distractions in Colorado Springs. I get to focus 100-percent on my craft and get to travel more.”

Herrera, who describes his style as a “swarmer”, applying pressure and breaking down his opponent, is living the dream.

“Fighting in the Olympics was always big for me, but getting a gold medal is my dream,” he added. “I’ve always wanted it because no one can ever take that away from me, and the story and work that is put behind a gold medal is priceless. In my opinion it is harder than winning a world title in professional boxing. Being this close to the Olympics, I’m proud of myself but not satisfied. I know that I still have work to do and I’m taking one step at a time. The next step for me is to qualify for the Olympics at the Olympic Qualifier.”

Herrera attributes some of his success to learning from former and contemporary boxers, implementing any techniques that they use into his style, Compreso, per esempio, the footwork and head movement ofJulio Cesar Chavez Sr., eMike Tyson’s set-ups from the body to head.

Tokyo is a long way from East LA for Anthony Herrera.

Kendo “Tremendo” Castaneda Training Camp Notes

Lascia un commento

Febbraio. 28th in Florida showdown vs. imbattuto

NABO champion Yomar “The Magic” Alamo

LAS VEGAS (Febbraio 20, 2020) – Undefeated super lightweightKendo “Tremendo” Castaneda (17-0, 8 KO) 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 28th fight against North American Boxing Organization (PROSSIMO) campioneYomar “The Magic” Alamo (17-0-1, 12 KO) airing live on Boxeo Telemundo, a partire da 11:30 p.m. E / 8:30 p.m. PT, from Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.

Alamo vs. Castaneda is co-promoted by All-Star Boxing, which promotes Alamo and the event, and Castaneda’s promoter, Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Promozioni di boxe.

“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, che è classificato No. 15 dal World Boxing Organization (WBO),  will take on WBO No. 8-rated Alamo, the defending NABO super lightweight champion, in the 10-round main event.

Castaneda captured the vacant North American Boxing Association (Anche) crown a year ago, taking a 10-round decision from previously undefeatedGilbert Venegas, Jr.(10-0), and followed that with an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over Dominican veteranEudy Berbardo (24-3).

Last October in Reno, Nevada, Castaneda stoppedStan Martyniouk (20-3) nel sesto round, after which he was installed by the World Boxing Organization as its No. 15 rated super lightweight in the world.

WBO No. 8 ranked Alamo, fighting out of Puerto Rico, is coming off the lone blemish on either fighter’s pro record, a draw withAntonio Moran (24-4-1).

Alamo, 24, is the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World and FECARBOX super lightweight champion, who has made three successful NABO title defenses.

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 anni, 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 fighter, Chuy Gutierrez, 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.”

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

“I was super fueled by the crowd tonight,” Plant said. “I could have gone all night. The whole city came out. Nashville stand up!”

Plant gave them plenty to cheer about from the opening bell, landing his jab up and downstairs. The aggressive Feigenbutz, 24, struggled to land anything in return.

“Everyone knows I want that unification fight with David Benavidez,” Plant stated. “You know who the best 168-pounder is. If you want that, you’ve got to come see me. I want that fight; I’ve been asking for it and I’m tired of waiting!”

In caso di co-main, Abel Ramos scored a stunning last second TKO victory overBryant Perrella in a scheduled 10-round welterweight match. Heading into the 10thand final round Ramos was told by his cornermen that he needed a knockout to win.

“I know the fight’s not over until it’s over,” disse Ramos. “That’s the game. I’ve been sick for two weeks. But no excuses. I wanted to come here and perform.

“I watched the Chavez-Taylor fight like 10 million times and I never thought I’d be in something like that. It just goes to prove that fights are never over till it’s over. You have to fight every single second of every single round.”

Watch Ramos stun Perrella at the end of Round 10 QUI.

Perrella (17-3, 14 KO) was up on all three cards at the time of the stoppage; 87-84 and two scores of 88-83.

“Questa è la boxe. It’s like Meldrick Taylor and Chavez,” Detto Perrella, agreeing with Ramos’ commenti. “These things just happen. I’m not going to take anything away from my opponent. I was winning every round convincingly. Cosa posso dire? There was second left in the 10th round. It’s like a needle in the haystack. It is what it is.”

Southpaw Perrella controlled much of the action, using side to side movement, angles and rapid-fire combinations to stifle Ramos’ offesa. A left hook in the third briefly buckled Ramos. Another in the fifth stunned him.

“Perrella’s a tough fighter,” disse Ramos. “He’s a strong, strong fighter. Non ho nulla ma il rispetto per lui. I expected a tough fight and that’s what happened.”

Ramos never stopped coming forward, picking up the pace as Perrella slowed down. Con 34 seconds remaining in the 10th, Ramos landed a perfect left uppercut flush on the chin. Perrella sank to the mat, getting up on unsteady legs. Ramos pounced once action resumed, unloading until a straight right drove Perrella to the floor again. Di nuovo, he made it to his feet but couldn’t walk straight without stumbling. Reiss immediately waved it off at 2:59.

“Everything was going well, and I was winning the fight, round by round,” Detto Perrella. “Non lo so. Questa è la boxe. That’s the thing about the sport. È quello che è. There’s nothing I can do about it. I’m not going to make up any excuses or take anything away from my opponent. It’s just an experience that you go through in life and you have to overcome it. Absolutely I’d like to do it again with him. We can get a rematch in for sure.”

“I want all the welterweights,” Ramos exclaimed. “I’d like to have another big TV fight and go out there and prove myself.”

The FOX PBC Fight Night opener featured a back-and-forth battle between lightweightsAustin Dulay e Diego Magdaleno. Magdaleno produced one of the finest performances of his career, dropping Dulay on his way to a 10-round unanimous decision victory in a minor upset.

The 33-year-old Magdaleno (32-3, 13 KO) was simply busier, particularly down the stretch in this battle of southpaws.

“I knew mentally I could break him down,” said Magdaleno. “If I attacked the body, I knew I could break him down. He’s a young prospect. He’s taller than me so my plan of attack was to get in close and go to the body.”

Dulay disagreed with the decision. “I boxed the hell out of him every round, making him miss, catching shots, countering. Sì, he hit me with a few good body shots. That doesn’t replace the heavy shots that I hit him with every single round for 10 rounds straight. That is madness. And it was a unanimous decision? That’s crazy. That’s unbelievable to me.

“Even Diego just told me that he had nothing to do with the decision. He knows. How can they do that to me in my hometown? That’s dirty man.”

Fighting in front of his fellow Nashville residents, Dulay (13-2, 10 KO) started fast, landing several clean lefts in the second. Magdaleno never stopped coming forward, working behind the jab and landing to Dulay’s body.

Watch early round action between Austin Dulay and Diego Magdaleno QUI eQUI.

Some of those shots strayed low which elicited warnings from referee Jack Reiss. Tuttavia, the work paid off as Dulay’s output dropped over the course of the bout. The sixth featured some of the best exchanges of the bout. Magdaleno got the better of those, landing a right to the ribs followed by one upstairs.

Magdaleno continued to press the attack in the seventh, scoring the fight’s only knockdown with a hard left hook to the solar plexus.

Watch Magdaleno score a knockdown vs Dulay in Round 7 QUI.

Once action resumed, Magdaleno pounded at his ribs until a left hook strayed low and dropped Magdaleno, causing Reiss to deduct a point.

“Every round he was hitting me low and, in the back, and on the hips,” disse Dulay.
“It was more times than he got called for. I won that fight 100%.”

Percependo che la lotta stava scivolando via, Dulay picked up the pace over the last three rounds. It wasn’t enough to overcome Magdaleno’s work rate, which earned him a win by scores of 97-91, 96-92 e 96-92.

“Experience has everything going for me. In my previous fight, I lost my head,” said Magdaleno. “This time I took my time. My camp said slow it down. Happy for the victory tonight.”

On the non-televised undercard, former world bantamweight champion Rau’Shee “Nuke” Conigliera (17-3, 4 KO) ended a 13-month layoff with a wide 10-round unanimous decision over Gilberto Mendoza (15-8-3, 7 KO).

The 33-year-old Warren used his fast hands to land an assortment of shots from his lefty stance. In the fourth, a clash of heads opened a cut over the left eye of Mexico’s Mendoza. Warren sought to close the show, but Mendoza was game, firing back though outgunned.

Two judges scored it 99-91 and the third judge had it 100-90.

“It felt good to get back in there after being off for a year,” Warren said. “I didn’t feel like a rookie. I felt like I had to get a little rust off me. But I think I got most of the rust off when I was in the gym training. Going 10 rounds it felt good.”

“I hope to get back in May,” said Warren. “I only need 90 giorni. I’ve already had my long layoff since last January when I fought on Pacquiao and Adrien’s card. I’m ready to get it on. I’m ready to move on. The only thing he did that I didn’t expect him to do was stay up.”

The event was promoted by Sweethands Promotions, TGB Promotions and Sauerland Promotions.

PHILADELPHIA – February 15, 2020 - Undefeated 21-year-old lightweight prospect Isaac Cruz stunnedShoBox: La nuova generazioneveteran Thomas Mattice in a closely contested majority decision win in theShoBoxmain event Friday night from 2300 Arena di Philadelphia, Papà. Watch the fight highlightsQUI.

Croce, di Città del Messico, rode his superior work rate, a lethal body attack, and his ability to neutralize Mattice’s jab to the victory. I giudici ha segnato la lotta 95-95 e 96-94 due volte.

Cruz threw an average of 69.4 punzoni per ogni turno, rispetto a 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 punzoni totali sbarcati e 39-8 in power punches connected.

“We were going for the knockout but it didn’t come up so we’ll take the decision,", Ha detto Cruz. “I thought I won all 10 round. 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 10th 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. Non ho scuse. Era l'uomo migliore stasera. "

Nella co-optional attacco, Ra’eese Aleem (16-0, 10 KO) 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 KO).

Aleem, from Muskegon, Mich., proved to be overwhelming for Lopez, who was making his record eighth appearance onShoBox.Dalla campana di apertura, 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 del quarto round. Watch the TKOQUI.

“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.”

In the second fight of the four-fight telecast, Cleveland’s flashy unbeaten super lightweight Montana Love (13-0-1, 6 KO) migliorato il suo record di 2-0-1 suShoBox, putting in a professional display en route to a unanimous decision over Jerrico Walton (16-1, 7 KO), who fights out of Houston by way of New Orleans. I giudici ha segnato la lotta 78-74 e 77-75 due volte. Watch fight highlightsQUI

“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, soprattutto nei turni tardi. Love was more accurate on his power punches (43 percent to 21 cento) 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 libbre. "

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,"Lui ha detto. “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 onShoBox, boxing’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 KO) handed Derrick Colemon, Jr. (11-1, 8 KO) his first career loss. Jackson overcame a slow start to earn the unanimous decision. I punteggi sono stati 77-75, 80-72, 78-74. Watch the decisionQUI.

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 overall and 50-9 su pugni potenti. 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. La trasmissione televisiva completa ripete il Lunedi, Febbraio 17 a 10 p.m. ET / PT su Showtime Extreme e sarà disponibile su Showtime QUALSIASI MOMENTO® e SHOWTIME On Demand®.

Standing 6’7″ e 6'9″ rispettivamente, 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 bout “taller,” per così dire, ha avuto luogo a 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 6’7″ and in the neighborhood of 220 libbre, Wilder is the same size as Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard. Furia, 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 6’6″ and weighs around 250 libbre.

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 the “Gypsy King” was 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 6’9″ Boston 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 6’11” Jon Rauch, was a journeyman reliever, and tennis’ 6’10” and 6’11” skyscrapers Ivo Karlovic, John Isner and Rilley Opelka have no majors to their names.

As human beings have become bigger and stronger over the years, naturalmente, so have boxers. Rocky Marciano, standing 5’10 ½” and weighing just above 180 libbre, 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 ½” and 6’3″ rispettivamente. 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 6’6″ and 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 6’6″ heavies captured belts. But the modern era was ushered in by Vitali and Wladimir Klitscko, il 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 6’8″ southpaw who despite a massive amount of hype, never fought for a world title. Giulio “The Towering Inferno” Long started his career 5-0, and at 7’1″ with a 90″ reach 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 be “too big” to 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 6’3″ and with a 78″ reach, or Larry Holmes at 6’3″ with an 81″ reach, 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, di 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?

RICHARDSON HITCHINS E NICK DELOMBA DISCUISCONO IL CAMPO DI FORMAZIONE PRIMA DEL MATCHUP SUPER LEGGERO SU SHOBOX: IL VENERDÌ DI NUOVA GENERAZIONE, Febbraio 28 LIVE ON Showtime

LAS VEGAS – Febbraio 12, 2020 – Fast-rising super lightweight prospects Richardson Hitchins (10-0, 5 KO) e Nick DeLomba(16-2, 5 KO) open up about training camp ahead of their ShoBox: La nuova generazione co-featured bout Friday, Febbraio 28 in diretta su Showtime (10:45 p.m. ET / PT) from Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas.



Nel ShoBox evento principale, unbeaten Mayweather Promotions’ prospect Malik Hawkins (18-0, 11 KO) will return for his second appearance on SHOWTIME as he goes toe-to-toe with undefeated Vegas native Keith Hunter (11-0, 7 KO) in un 10 round attacco super leggero. The opening bout of the telecast will see Kevin “The Second Coming” Newman (11-1-1, 6 KO) 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 e può essere acquistato presso: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/.



Hitchins, di Brooklyn, N.Y., returns for his second consecutive test on the prospect developmental series. Nella sua ultima uscita, he earned a unanimous decision over Kevin Johnson at Sam’s Town. Hitchins, a 22-year-old 2016 Haitian Olympian, 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, fighting out of 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 debutti.



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: nutrizione, 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, smarter, 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.”



What do you know about your opponent?



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. Nella notte di lotta, 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 28th do for your career going forward?



Hitchins: “Another win carries me to that next level. Ho fame, I come from nothing, so I stay with a chip on my shoulder. I’m appreciative of my team, Promozioni Mayweather, 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.”

Il celebre manager Jackie Kallen prevede che l'imbattuta Mykquan Williams sarà il suo sesto campione del mondo

Lascia un commento

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Febbraio 12, 2020) - Pioniere delle donneJackie Kallen, il primo e probabilmente il manager femminile di maggior successo nella storia della boxe, crede fermamente che il 21enne sia imbattuto"Meraviglioso" Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 KO) diventerà il suo sesto campione del mondo.

Williams, combattendo da East Hartford, CT, è il regno del World Boxing Council (WBC) Campione super leggero degli Stati Uniti.

"Mykey ha molte qualità come alcuni dei grandi della boxe,"Ha detto Kallen. "Ha un po 'del flash e della velocità dei combattenti come Ray Leonard, e le abitudini di formazione e la dedizione di Thomas Hearns e Mike Tyson. Ha anche un sorriso assassino e un bell'aspetto Hector Camacho, Sr.

“Mykey può arrivare fino a un titolo mondiale. Ha la velocità, atteggiamento, e cuore, insieme a un'eccezionale capacità di boxe. È stato curato perfettamente dal suo allenatore, Paul Cichon, che ha mantenuto Mykey fedele al suo stile, lavorando duro per perfezionare la sua abilità. Mykey si allena duramente, mangia bene, e prende sul serio il gioco. "

"Jackie è molto esperta e ben informata nel pugilato,"Ha osservato Williams. "Ha lavorato con alcune persone fantastiche, combattenti di livello mondiale, quindi conosce la strada da prendere per me per arrivarci ".

Cichon ha aggiunto, “Ho cercato Jackie come nostro manager per il suo amore per lo sport, così come la consapevolezza di ciò che porta in tavola. È molto rispettata, come certamente merita di essere. "

La boxe è cambiata radicalmente da quando Kallen ha coperto la sua prima battaglia per un quotidiano di Detroit nel 1978. La scheda mostrava Hearns eMickey Goodwin.  È diventata subito una fan e scriveva regolarmente di boxe. Un leggendario allenatore / manager con sede a Detroit, Emanuel Steward, l'ha assunta come pubblicista per la sua famosa palestra Kronk. Alcuni dei suoi migliori amici fino ad oggi sono combattenti con cui lavorava allora. Lei e Hearns stanno ancora insieme.

Dopo aver servito come pubblicista di Kronk per un decennio, Kallen ha deciso di espandersi e ha iniziato a gestire i combattenti. Il suo primo cliente era dei pesi massimiBobby Hitz, che oggi è un promotore e ristoratore di successo a Chicago. Ha continuato a gestire un gruppo di combattenti Who's Who, compresi i campioni del mondoJames Toney, Bronco McKart, Tom "Boom Boom" Johnson, Thomas Pinklon eNonito Donaire.

Kallen, che ha vinto il sessismo nell'industria della boxe, è meglio conosciuto, forse, per il suo rapporto di lavoro con Toney, soprattutto perché la sua vita in quel periodo è stata l'ispirazione per il popolare 2004 film, Contro le corde, protagonistaMeg Ryan come Kallen.

“La boxe oggi è un animale completamente diverso," lei spiegò. "Questo non vuol dire che sia meglio o peggio, solo diverso. C'erano più palestre in ogni città, programmi amatoriali pesanti, molti spettacoli sulle reti televisive, e abbastanza spettacoli di club locali per mantenere attivo un giovane combattente. Allora avevo ragazzi che combattevano 8 a 10 volte all'anno, la quale, naturalmente, è quasi impossibile in 2020.

"Non c'erano nemmeno tante informazioni disponibili sugli avversari. Se sei stato fortunato, potresti comprare un nastro. Se il combattente non fosse stato in televisione, anche se, sei stato sfortunato. Non c'era Internet, quindi non c'era niente come BoxRec per controllare i record degli avversari. Dovevi solo credere al sensale. Avevo combattenti che si aspettavano di combattere a 14-4 ragazzo che ha scoperto alla pesatura che in realtà era 16-0. "

Boxe, probabilmente la seconda professione più antica, ha continuato a sopravvivere, anche se spesso su un giro sulle montagne russe.

"I combattenti di oggi non sono veloci a combattersi l'un l'altro come ai tempi di Hearns / Hagler / Leonard / Duran,"Ha osservato Kallen. “Allora, i combattenti volevano davvero combattere per essere il meglio che potevano essere. Vedo i combattenti oggi essere più analitici e correre meno rischi.

“Oggi ci sono anche più organizzazioni sanzionatorie. Allora era soprattutto la WBA, WBC e IBF. Per non parlare che non c'è mai stata una persona che gestisse dozzine e dozzine di pugili contemporaneamente. Il gioco è decisamente cambiato!"

Kallen, anche se è ancora fortemente investita nello sport che ama. La fiduciosa Williams sarà il suo prossimo campione del mondo, il suo sogno è entrare nella Hall of Fame con Toney.

"Nel 1992,” Ha concluso Kallen, "Sono stato nominato" Manager dell'anno "e il mio amore per lo sport non è mai tramontato. Finché c'è talento là fuori che ha bisogno di una guida, Rimarrò attivo. "
