No place like home for Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz

WORCESTER, Masa. (Febreiro 11, 2020) – A lifelong dream will become finally reality on February 28th, when undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight championJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (12-0, 6 Kos) fights at home for the first time as a professional in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Ortiz will headline aCES Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS® event, promoted by Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES), at the historic Worcester Palladium. His opponent in the 8-round main event will be Mexican knockout artist“Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-5, 17 Kos), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion.

“I’ve never fought in Worcester as a professional,” Ortiz said at a recent press conference. “I’ve wanted to do this bad to let people in Worcester see what it has. It’s going to be extra special because two of my closest friendsIrvin González eKendrick Ball, JR., are also fighting on this card. We’ve fought together since we were kids.”

The 23-year-old will not be defending his WBC Youth World title, because he will relinquish his belt in April, when turns 24 and becomes ineligible in terms of the age requirement (23 and younger).

“Jamaine had one of the most prestigious amateur careers ever in New England,” Ortiz’ promoterJimmy Burchfield (CES Boxeo) said. “He already owns the WBC World Youth title and has World Champion written all over him.”

“The Technician” is fine tuning his game and he’s already looking ahead to the not too distant future.

“I’m very excited to be fighting February 28th for the first time in Worcester,” Ortiz added. “It’s an exciting card with action-packed fights. I expect it’ll be sold out and hope so, because I want to prove to my city, meu promotor, and local businesses that big-time boxing belongs here and will be supported by Worcester. In 2021, I want to bring world championship boxing to the new baseball stadium (Polar Park, the future home of the Worcester Red Sox, Triple A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox) across the street that will seat 10,000.”

The Feb. 28th show showcasing Ortiz worldwide will be streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®, o servizo de subscrición dixital líder do mundo para deportes de combate, a partir de 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT.

“Saturday, Marzo 28 is going to be a night full of exciting action headlined by Mexican knockout artist Luis Nery beginning his path toward a world title at super bantamweight against an undefeated Mexican contender in Aaron Alameda,” said Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promocións. “Adding in the heavyweight showdown between Otto Wallin and Lucas Browne, plus a rematch of young light heavyweights Joseph George and Marcos Escudero, fight night at Park MGM in Las Vegas is sure to deliver explosive battles from start to finish.”

Nery (30-0, 24 Kos) is a power puncher who has stopped his last 11 opponents and 15 da súa última 16. The 25-year-old southpaw from Tijuana, Mexico scored a dominant stoppage victory over former champion McJoe Arroyo in March and returned in July to stop former champion Juan Carlos Payano. He scored a TKO victory over Shinsuke Yamanaka to win the bantamweight world title in 2018 and will now move up to 122 pounds to seek a world title in a second weight class.

“I’m excited to fight on SHOWTIME and I’m planning on another knockout victory to prove to everyone that I’m one of the kings of the super bantamweight division,” said Nery. “I know that I can knock out any fighter at 118 ou 122 libras, and I’m hungrier than ever to prove that I’m one of boxing’s great Mexican champions. My goal is to continue to put on great performances for the fans and I’m ready to fight anyone who is willing to step up to the challenge.”

Representing Sonora, México, Alameda (25-0, 13 Kos) está invicto desde que se converteu en profesional 2014 after a strong amateur career, and will step up in competition as he faces Nery for a shot at a world title bout. The 26-year-old is ranked No. 12 by the WBC and most recently knocked out Jordan Escobar in April 2019, after three victories in 2018. Alameda will fight in the U.S. for the second time when he enters the ring on March 28, after scoring a body shot knockout over Andre Wilson in a January 2016 bout in Los Angeles.

“I’m very excited to be making my SHOWTIME debut in the main event against a great fighter,” said Alameda. “All of the years of training and fighting have brought me to this fight on March 28. Nery is a Mexican warrior like myself and I can’t wait to lock horns with him and give the fans great action all the way until the final bell.”

The 29-year-old Wallin (20-1, 13 Kos) will return to the ring in Las Vegas, where he nearly defeated former unified heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in September, when he opened up a gruesome cut over Fury’s right eye with a legal punch that nearly halted the fight. While Wallin dropped the decision, he proved his mettle as a potential future heavyweight champion. Representing his native Sundsvall, Suecia, Wallin trains in New York with former champion Joey Gamache. Wallin’s last fight in Las Vegas was his second in the U.S., after his debut on SHOWTIME in April ended in a no contest because of a cut suffered by his opponent in the first round.

Fighting out of New South Wales, Australia, Browne (29-2, 25 Kos) most recently scored a knockout victory over John Hopoate in November, his second win of 2019. He’s won four of his last five bouts, with his only career losses coming to Dillian Whyte and David Allen in the U.K. Browne won his first 25 loitas profesionais, including a stoppage of Ruslan Chagaev in 2016 to capture a WBA Heavyweight Championship. He will be making his U.S. estrea.

George (10-0, 6 Kos) emerged victorious in a battle of then unbeaten fighters when he faced Escudero on SHOWTIME in November, taking a split-decision victory. The 30-year-old didn’t start boxing until he was 19 and is managed by Washington Redskins All-Pro offensive lineman Trent Williams, and trained in Houston by NFL All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson and James Cooper. George will look to transition from prospect to contender by defeating Escudero again on March 28.

Escudero (10-1, 9 Kos) will look to bounce back and even the score against George, and in turn bolster his own position in the light heavyweight division. The 26-year-old from Buenos Aires, Argentina has fought primarily in the U.S. desde que me converteu en profesional 2017. His amateur career saw him become a national champion in Argentina in 2014 and represent his country in the Pan-Am Games in 2015. Escudero currently trains in Miami and scored three stoppage wins in 2019 before facing George for the first time.

1988 Olympic gold medalist “Merciless” Ray Mercer Looks back at his Olympic experience

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Febreiro 11, 2020) – Thirty-two years after he captured an Olympic gold medalRay Mercer "sen piedade". fondly remembers his Olympic experience like it was last month. Mercer, who is the only American heavyweight champion to knock out all of his Olympic opponents, went on to become world heavyweight champion as a professional for our “heavyweight double.”

For Mercer, todo comezou en Alemaña, where his U.S. Army unit was based. Offered a chance to avoid a 30-day field exercise, Mercer accepted an offer to serve as a sparring partner for the post’s heavyweight boxing champion. Despite never having put on a pair of gloves before, Mercer was a quick learner who was naturally strong, e converteuse rapidamente no 1985 U.S. Campión de peso pesado do Exército e Interservizos.

O programa de atletas de clase mundial (WCAP), in which qualified athletes have an opportunity to train fulltime for the Olympics, non existía daquela, nin as regras de clasificación olímpica de hoxe. Mercer defeated future world heavyweight championTommy Morrison na rolda inicial do 1988 Olympic Trials and another future world heavyweight titlistMichael Bentt (5-0) na final do campionato. No 1988 Box-offs olímpicos dos EUA no famoso Caesars Pala

ce en Las Vegas, Mercer gañou unha decisión dividida (3-2) sobre Bentt, but Mercer had already qualified to fight in the Olympic Games by being the U.S. Campión das Forzas Armadas.

"Cando estaba no Exército, Tiven que gañar no servizo, manter as cousas, e vai ao seguinte paso,"Lembrou Mercer. "Tiven que vencer a algúns bos loitadores no meu camiño para os Xogos Olímpicos, e estaba na mellor forma da miña vida. Había máis disciplina nos afeccionados que nos profesionais. O último ano antes dos Xogos Olímpicos, Deixei a miña unidade de casa, viaxou moito para loitar, e quedei na casa do meu adestrador en vez de vivir no cuartel.

Mercer fixo historia no 1988 Xogos Olímpicos en Seúl, Corea Do Sur, cando se converteu e segue sendo o único campión olímpico de peso pesado dos Estados Unidos que noqueou aos catro seus opoñentes:  Rudolf Gavenciak (Checoslovaquia – RSC3), Luigi Gaudiano(Italia - KO1), Arnond Vasnderlyde (Países Baixos - RSC2) eBo Hyun Man (Corea do Sur - KO1).

"Sabía que tiña que noquear ao surcoreano na final,", admitiu Mercer. "Só quería facer o que podía para ser o medallista de ouro olímpico. I don’t think I used a jab.

"Gañar a medalla de ouro olímpica deu lugar a grandes cambios para min. Convertínme nunha celebridade, un nome familiar, e permitiume gañar cartos como profesional. O mellor que me pasou foi gañar a medalla de ouro olímpica, even more than winning the world title as a pro. Nada comparado con converterse nun medallista de ouro olímpico. Cumprín o meu soño. I had never dreamed of going pro, until after I won the gold medal.

"Foi moi importante gañar esa medalla de ouro. Loitei co corazón; non houbo cartos, celebrated so hard that night (after winning the gold medal) que perdín a miña medalla durante unhas horas. My dream had come true, my hands were shaking, and I lost my medal. What a night!"

Mercer ofrece aos membros do 2020 USA Boxing Olympic Qualification Team one bit of advice, “Keep fighting, segue o teu soño e dá ese último paso".

Mercer, que naceu en Jacksonville, Florida, fixo o seu tan esperado debut profesional en 1989, paradaJesse McGhee in the third round of their fight in Atlantic City. "Merciless" gañou o seu primeiro 18 loitas profesionais, incluíndo un nocaut de noveno asaltoFrancisco Damiani, followed by a successful defense against Morrison, que foi parado na quinta rolda.

Durante os seus 19 anos de carreira profesional, Mercer compiled a 36-7-1 (26 Kos) rexistro, derrotando a catro campións do mundo en Damiani, Morrison, Tim Witherspoon eOssie Ocasio.  Five of his eight career losses were to world championsLennox LewisWladimir Klitschko,Larry HolmesEvander Holyfield eShannon Briggs

“Ray represents everything that makes USA Boxing proud,", DixoChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. "Como veterano do exército, Medalhista de ouro olímpico, and heavyweight champion of the world, demostrou excelencia e profesionalidade que reflicten o mellor do que USA Boxing ten para ofrecer".

"E deume unha conta de oito sen ningún motivo," Engadiu Mercer. "Gañou a ese tipo e el sábeo. Seguimos en contacto aínda que non fala inglés. Ten un amigo traductor e estamos en contacto en Facebook. Gústanos".

Hoxe, Mercer está a fundar unha organización benéfica na casa de Carolina do Norte, que incluirá clínicas de boxeo gratuítas, pero, o máis importante, devolver á comunidade e ensinar aos mozos, especialmente aqueles que son intimidados, as habilidades que necesitarán para saír ao mundo real.

Ray Mercer alcanzou o cénit dúas veces no boxeo como medallista de ouro olímpico e campión mundial de peso pesado como profesional. Non é demasiado malo para alguén que nunca quixo boxear.

"O boxeo salvoume a vida,"Concluíu Mercer. "Non podo imaxinar a miña vida sen boxeo, certamente non sería o mesmo.

RAEESE ALEEM



“I’m very excited to be making my televised debut on SHOWTIME, where the world will get to see my talent. I’m definitely looking forward to making some new fans. This is a stepping stone to bigger and better things.



“I feel like I’m flying under the radar. I’ve been right there with all the other rising prospects. I’m originally from a small town so I never had the proper eyes on me. I feel like I must train twice as hard as the average fighter just to be in the same conversation than these guys. But that’s just how the game is. I’m ready to show up and show out.



“It’s been a huge transition since I moved out here [Las Vegas] from Muskegon, Mich., where I’m originally from. I came out here with no family and no friends, with the sole idea to pursue my career. I took a leap of faith and it has paid off. It’s been all about business here in Las Vegas, and it’s been great. I’ve been exposed to a lot of great fighters and picked up a lot of good tips.



“Adam Lopez is a tough Latino fighter who is going to bring his ‘A’ game, and he has something to prove. He has a lot of experience. He’s been in the ring with a lot of skilled guys and current world champions. This is the type of fight I need to take the next step toward being a world champion.



“I’m an aggressive boxer who likes to throw a lot of punches. I make my opponent miss and I make them pay. I’m all-action. I’m a beast! I’m prepared to go the distance, but my ultimate goal is to get him out of there, to get the win.”

“It’s been a wonderful experience having the Mexican fans behind me being that they know that’s where I first learned how to box when I fled to Guadalajara, México. It’s been a hell of a journey coming back to the United States from Mexico, where I learned to fight the Mexican style, always throwing big shots to entertain the fans. Fighting in the amateurs in Mexico, is like fighting in the pros. Sometimes we didn’t use headgear. It was crazy, but it made me the fighter I am today.”

Andrea Medina, peso pluma de boxeo dos EUA, achegándose 2020 Lugar olímpico en Tokio

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Febreiro 10, 2020) – Saíndo de subcampións consecutivos en grandes torneos, USA Boxeo peso plumaAndrea Medina está dentro dun torneo de representar ao seu país nos Xogos Olímpicos de Tokio 2020.

En decembro, Medina, de 20 anos, perdeu unha decisión divididaLupe Gutiérrez no 2020 U.S. Probas por equipos olímpicos de boxeo, e 4-1 paraJulia Tsyplakova (Ucraína) o mes pasado no Torneo Strandja en Bulgaria. A Chula Vista, O boxeador de California foi nomeado recentemente para os Xogos Olímpicos de USA Boxing en Tokio 2020 Equipo de cualificación de boxeo.

"Calificar segundo nas probas só me fixo máis ansioso por conseguir ese posto de clasificación olímpica," Dixo Medina. "Só quería mostrar a USA Boxing que eu era o que representaba 57 quilogramos. Só vou mellorar e non podo esperar para mostrarlle ao mundo todo o que teño.

“Por iso (A súa praia) sendo o meu primeiro torneo internacional, Estaba moi orgulloso de ata onde cheguei no torneo e de conseguir esa medalla de prata. Quedei moi contento con todas as miñas actuacións e estou emocionado de volver a traballar nas cousas que teño que mellorar. Á parte de todo iso, ir a un país diferente foi incrible e non podo esperar para viaxar máis facendo o que máis me gusta".

Medina e os seus compañeiros do equipo dos EUA están adestrando actualmente en Colorado Springs no moderno Centro de adestramento olímpico e paralímpico dos Estados Unidos. Para clasificarse para participar nos Xogos Olímpicos deste ano, Medina necesita rematar entre os tres primeiros dos 57 quilos (125 lb.) división no Torneo de Clasificación de América, 26 de marzo-abril 3, en Bos Aires, Arxentina. Unha última oportunidade na eliminatoria mundial de París, Francia, no que podería clasificarse para os Xogos Olímpicos colocándose entre os cinco primeiros.

"Significa o mundo para min estar no equipo de clasificación olímpico de boxeo dos Estados Unidos,Medina engadiu: "É todo o que levo traballando desde que comecei a competir con oito anos e non podo crer que os Xogos Olímpicos sexan só nuns meses. Facer historia en San Diego sendo a primeira persoa en formar parte do equipo olímpico de boxeo é un gran problema para a miña familia, a miña cidade e eu. Non podo expresar o entusiasmado que estou por chegar ata aquí, pero aínda queda moito por facer, e estou listo.

"Sinto que traballo mellor baixo presión e realmente creo que me clasificarei para Tokio, xa sexa en Arxentina ou Francia, pero o meu principal obxectivo, agora mesmo, é adestrar moito para conseguir ese ouro en Arxentina”.

Medina cre que a súa principal fortaleza dentro do ring é a súa capacidade de adaptarse durante unha pelexa. Ela prefire loitar por fóra, pero pode pelexarse ​​se é necesario, porque lle gusta lanzar moitos golpes de poder.

Medina tamén se dá conta de que está nun lugar destacado respecto da crecente popularidade do boxeo feminino, seguindo os pasos do dous veces medallista de ouro olímpico do boxeo estadounidenseClaressa Shields e medallista de bronce olímpicoMarlen Esparza, xunto con pasados ​​deportistas olímpicos de Estados Unidos comoRaíña Underwood eMikaela Mayer.

"O boxeo feminino só vai facer máis grande,", prognosticou Medina. "Ser loitadora hoxe significa moito para min, porque levo facendo isto 15 anos, e velo crecer ano tras ano só demostra o forte que son as femias e o que podemos conseguir. Eu predigo iso, no futuro, o boxeo non será visto como un deporte masculino, pero será neutral tanto para homes como para mulleres”.

Competir nos Xogos Olímpicos foi un soño de toda a vida para Medina, pero tamén ten plans para o seu futuro inmediato.

"Chegar aos Xogos Olímpicos foi o meu principal obxectivo ao longo da miña carreira no boxeo,", comentou Andrea, "Así que agora que está tan preto dáme ganas de traballar aínda máis. Outros meus obxectivos son graduarme na universidade e conseguir o meu propio condominio., que farei despois de que todo isto remate.

"Penso converterme en profesional despois dos Xogos Olímpicos, moi probablemente ao comezo ou ao medio 2021, así podo rematar a escola e darlle descanso e recuperación ao meu corpo”.

Andrea Medina está tan preto de ser olímpica e todo o relacionado con ese logro que practicamente pode chegar e sentir. Só un paso máis, xa sexa en Bos Aires ou París, e será unha misión cumprida para ela.

We have fitness classes in addition to teaching boxing lessons.

“This show is important because the attention and money we receive will help us get more volunteers, equipos, and go places (to box) that they’ve never been. Any money we receive will go straight to the kids. Our dream is promote out own shows someday to get our charity’s name out there for the benefit of our programs. Boxing is growing here in Framingham and we believe that there will be more boxing in our city. I even check on them in school and if they need help, they’ll have a big brother right next to them. Everything is for the kids!"

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from the Renaissance Allentown Hotel:

GARY RUSSELL JR.

“Tivemos un gran campo de adestramento. I have my younger brothers on the card with me and in camp, pushing me every day. Estamos preparados, focused and hungry.

Tug will be the best he possibly can be because he knows he’s facing one of the best fighters in the world. He has everything to gain and nothing to lose. He’s going to leave it all on the line.

I think Tug is a lot more technically sound than a lot of the guys who I have competed against. He’s another guy with everything to gain and nothing to lose, so I’m anticipating a tough fight.

If it were up to me, I’d be facing Leo Santa Cruz or Gervonta Davis, but this is what I have to face. I’m here to defend my title in style once again.

It’s amazing to watch my younger brothers and to have them on the same card. I’m excited to work their corners. There’s never been a set of three brothers to become world champions, and I think we’ll do that real soon. They’re both extremely talented and hungry. I expect them to be better than me by the time they’re at this point in their careers.

I was the first fighter to turn pro on ShoBox, and I went on to win my title on SHOWTIME. The fact that we’re still doing it now speaks wonders. I work great with their team and I’m grateful to be in this position.

You should expect to see what you always see with me. Boxing at its best. A great deal of ring generalship. Good boxing IQ. Hand speed. Punching power. The total package as a fighter. En realidade, I’m trying to figure out why I’m not on the pound for pound list given all of that. That’s an issue.

TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR

“Estou moi animado para esta loita. It’s going to be a good fight for the fans. Gary Russell Jr. is a great champion, but watch on Saturday night, when I become the new featherweight world champion.

I just have to be better than Gary Russell on Saturday night. The past experience won’t matter. If he thinks I’m too inexperienced for this fight, he is going to be in for a surprise Saturday.

I know that I’m the underdog, but that doesn’t affect me. I don’t care if I’m the favorite or the underdog.

I’m not worried about any ring rust. I’ve worked so hard in the ring during training camp to make sure I’m the best I’ve ever been.

Working with Ismael Salas has been very good for me and I think it’s taken me to another level in my career. All of skills, all of my power and speed, it will all be with me on Saturday. I just have to put it together for my best performance.

I’m very ready for this fight. I want to be the first WBC featherweight champion in history from Mongolia. Estou preparado, you just need to watch on Saturday.

Guillermo Rigondeaux

Bantamweight is my division. I have no issues making that weight. I want to thank my team for getting me prepared and getting me to this position. All that’s left is to fight Saturday night.

I want to also thank Ronnie Shields for how he has prepared me for this fight. It’s been a great training camp and I can’t wait to step into the ring and become champion again.

“sinto 100% and I believe that bantamweight has always been my best weight. I did well at 122 libras, so i stayed there. My plan now is to dominate this division.

Me and Ronnie Shields have great chemistry and worked well together. Ronnie is a great trainer and I’m looking forward to a long run that we’re going to have together.

I’m going to be phenomenal in the ring. I’m going to unify 118 pounds just like I did at 122 libras. I’m excited to get started.

My strategy will depend on the fight that Solis brings. I’m a veteran in this sport, dating back to the amateurs, so I’m used to seeing so many different styles. I’m to fight the way that gives me the best chance to win.

LIBORIO SOLIS

Thank you very much to my team who has backed me and supported me leading up to this fight. I’m very grateful for this opportunity. My opponent has been a great champion and I’m very excited to be here to fight him.

This is obviously going to be a great fight. I’m a warrior who always comes to fight. He can pick his strategy however he wants. But I just want to get in there and put my skills on display.

I was already a champion in one division and I had a fight taken on the scorecards at bantamweight, or else i would already be a two-division champion.

Saturday is going to be different than my last fights. Both me and Guillermo give our heart and soul and we’re going to fight until the best man wins. I’m not leaving that ring without a championship.

I’m going to come with everything on Saturday. I come to fight and I come to win. I’m sure Guillermo is the same. The difference will be my determination to win this fight.

I don’t think anyone’s weight or which division we fought at in the past will be an advantage. I’m sure he could have always fought at 118. The person with the advantage is who wants it more.

JAIME ARBOLEDA

I want to thank all the great champions up on this stage and everyone on my team who made this fight happen. This opportunity has been a long time coming and I’ve been preparing hard to make the most out of it.

“O Sábado, I’m very confident that this is going to be a great fight and end in a knockout. I’m prepared and I know that I’m going to win.

This is a great chance to get one step closer to my dream of becoming a world champion. I know what I have to do and I’ve prepared every day to make sure that I fight my best on Saturday night.

We have a lot of respect for each other and we’re looking forward to Saturday night. Don’t miss this card because it’s going to be action packed from start to finish.

Jayson VELEZ

I’m happy to be here again and back in a big fight. My last time fighting on SHOWTIME was in 2012 and I’m very thankful for this opportunity to compete on this stage once again.

I’m blessed to be able to do what I do every day. I’ve fought professionally since 2007. This is the dream that every boxer has. When I win on Saturday, I’ll be the mandatory for the belt and that’s the opportunity that I want.

I’ve been training hard for this fight and I’m ready. I’ve won three fights in a row heading into a great fight between two hungry fighters. We want to add each other to our record and I believe that this fight is ending in knockout.

Don’t miss this fight because this is going to be great. There’s going to be a lot of action. Every time I step into the ring, gañar ou perder, I will leave everything in there. I fight with my heart and I fight for Puerto Rico.
