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

WORCESTER, Massa. (Febbraio 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 KO) fights at home for the first time as a professional in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Ortiz will headline aCES Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS® evento, 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 KO), 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 e più giovane).

“Jamaine had one of the most prestigious amateur careers ever in New England,” Ortiz’ promoterJimmy Burchfield (CES Boxing) 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, il mio promotore, 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.”

“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,"Ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “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 KO) is a power puncher who has stopped his last 11 opponents and 15 del suo ultimo 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 o 122 libbre, 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, Messico, Alameda (25-0, 13 KO) is unbeaten since turning pro in 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.”

Il 29enne Wallin (20-1, 13 KO) 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, Svezia, 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 KO) 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 lotte pro, including a stoppage of Ruslan Chagaev in 2016 to capture a WBA Heavyweight Championship. He will be making his U.S. debutto.

George (10-0, 6 KO) 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 KO) will look to bounce back and even the score against George, and in turn bolster his own position in the light heavyweight division. Il 26enne di Buenos Aires, Argentina has fought primarily in the U.S. since turning pro in 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 Medaglia d'oro olimpica “Merciless” Ray Mercer guarda indietro alla sua esperienza olimpica

COLORADO SPRINGS, Giro. (Febbraio 11, 2020) - Trentadue anni dopo aver conquistato una medaglia d'oro olimpica, “Merciless” Ray Mercer con affetto ricorda la sua esperienza olimpica come se fosse il mese scorso. merciaio, chi è il campione dei pesi massimi unico americano a mettere fuori tutti i suoi avversari olimpici, ha continuato a diventare campione del mondo dei pesi massimi come un professionista per il nostro “doppio pesi massimi.”

per Mercer, tutto è iniziato in Germania, dove la sua U.S.. unità dell'esercito si è basata. Offerto una possibilità di evitare un esercizio di campo di 30 giorni, Mercer ha accettato l'offerta per servire come uno sparring partner per campione dei pesi massimi del palo. Pur non avendo mai messo su un paio di guanti prima, Mercer era uno studente veloce che era naturalmente forte, e lui rapidamente sviluppato nel 1985 U.S. Esercito e Inter-service campione dei pesi massimi.

Il Programma atleta di classe mondiale (WCAP), in cui gli atleti qualificati hanno l'opportunità di allenarsi a tempo pieno per le Olimpiadi, non esisteva allora, né le regole del Olimpici di qualificazione di oggi. Mercer campione del mondo futuro sconfitto pesi massimiTommy Morrison nel turno dell'apertura 1988 Trials olimpici e un altro futuro mondo titlist pesi massimi, Michael Bentt (5-0) in finale campionato. Al 1988 USA Olimpico Box-off al famoso Caesars Pala

Perché a Las Vegas, Mercer ha vinto una decisione spaccata (3-2) su Bentt, ma Mercer era già qualificato per la lotta ai Giochi Olimpici per essere l'U.S.. campione Forze Armate.

“Quando ero nell'esercito, Ho dovuto vincere nel servizio, mantenere le cose, e passare alla fase successiva,”Mercer ricordato. “Ho dovuto battere alcuni buoni combattenti sul mio modo di Olimpiadi, e io ero nella migliore forma della mia vita. C'era più disciplina nei dilettanti rispetto a ranghi professionali. L'ultimo anno prima delle Olimpiadi, Ho lasciato la mia unità abitativa, viaggiato molto per combattere, e siamo stati in casa di mio allenatore, invece di vivere in caserma.

Mercer ha fatto la storia al 1988 Olimpiadi di Seoul, Corea Del Sud, quando è diventato e resta il campione dei pesi massimi unica Olimpico dagli Stati Uniti per knockout tutti e quattro i suoi avversari:  Rudolf Gavenciak (Cecoslovacchia - RSC3), Luigi Gaudiano(Italia - KO1), Arnond Vasnderlyde (Olanda - RSC2) eBuona Hyun-Man (Corea del Sud - KO1).

“Sapevo che dovevo knockout la Corea del Sud in finale,”Mercer ha ammesso. “Volevo solo fare quello che potevo essere la medaglia d'oro olimpica. Non credo che ho usato un jab.

“Vincere la medaglia d'oro olimpica ha provocato alcuni cambiamenti big-tempo per me. Sono diventato una celebrità, un nome, e mi ha permesso di fare i soldi come un professionista. La cosa migliore che mi sia mai capitata stava vincendo la medaglia d'oro olimpica, ancora più che vincere il titolo mondiale come un professionista. Niente in confronto a diventare un medaglia d'oro olimpica. Ho compiuto il mio sogno. Non avevo mai sognato di andare pro, fino a quando dopo aver vinto la medaglia d'oro.

“E 'stato davvero importante vincere quella medaglia d'oro. Ho combattuto con il cuore; senza soldi è stato coinvolto, festeggiato così forte che la notte (dopo aver vinto la medaglia d'oro) che ho perso la mia medaglia per poche ore. Il mio sogno si era avverato, le mie mani tremavano, e ho perso la mia medaglia. Che notte!"

Mercer offre ai membri del 2020 USA Boxing qualificazione olimpica della squadra uno po 'di consigli, "Continua a combattere, seguire il vostro sogno e prendere quel ultimo passo “.

merciaio, che è nato a Jacksonville, Florida, ha fatto il suo tanto atteso debutto pro in 1989, sostaJesse McGhee nel terzo turno della loro lotta a Atlantic City. “Merciless” ha vinto il suo primo 18 lotte pro, compreso un nono turno knockout diFrancisco Damiani, seguita da una difesa efficace contro Morrison, che è stato fermato nel quinto round.

Nel corso della sua carriera da professionista di 19 anni, Mercer compilato un 36-7-1 (26 KO) record, sconfiggendo quattro campioni del mondo in Damiani, Morrison, Tim Witherspoon eOssie Ocasio.  Cinque dei suoi otto perdite di carriera erano ai campioni del mondo: Lennox LewisWladimir Klitschko,Larry HolmesEvander Holyfield eShannon Briggs

“Ray rappresenta tutto ciò che rende orgogliosi USA Boxing,"Ha dettoChris Tofflemire, USA Boxing Alumni Association Direttore. “Come un veterano dell'esercito, Medaglia d'oro olimpica, e campione mondiale dei pesi massimi, ha dimostrato eccellenza e la professionalità che riflette il meglio di ciò USA Boxing ha da offrire “.

brillante carriera amatoriale di pugilato di Mercer comprendeva anche un classico match-up contro il cubano grande e tre volte medaglia d'oro olimpica, Felix Savon, a USA vs. Cuba partita doppia, in cui Mercer due volte sfalsati Savon, che sono sopravvissuti senza subire ulteriori danni solo perché l'arbitro cubana ha fatto un intervento discutibile che ha dato il suo compagno connazionale tempo per recuperare e una controversa 2-1 vittoria.

“E lui mi ha dato una standing otto conteggio per nessun motivo,”Mercer ha aggiunto. “Ho battuto quel ragazzo e lui lo sa. Siamo ancora in contatto anche se lui non parla inglese. Ha un amico tradurre e siamo in contatto su Facebook. Ci piacciamo."

Oggi, Mercer è fondatore un ente di beneficenza a casa in North Carolina, che includerà le cliniche boxe liberi, ma, ma ancora più importante, restituire alla comunità e insegnare i giovani, soprattutto quelli che sono vittime di bullismo, le competenze di cui avranno bisogno di andare fuori nel mondo reale.

Ray Mercer ha raggiunto lo zenit due volte nel pugilato come medaglia d'oro olimpica e campione del mondo dei pesi massimi come un professionista. Non troppo malandato per qualcuno che non ha mai voluto veramente scatola.

“La boxe mi ha salvato la vita,”Ha concluso Mercer. “Non riesco a immaginare la mia vita senza la boxe, certamente non sarebbe la stessa.

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.”

Nel mese di dicembre, la 20enne Medina ha perso una decisione divisa perLupe Gutierrez alla 2020 U.S. Qualificazioni olimpiche per la boxe, e 4-1 aIulia Tsyplakova (Ucraina) il mese scorso al torneo di Strandja in Bulgaria. Il Chula Vista, Il pugile californiano è stato recentemente nominato ai Giochi Olimpici di Tokyo degli USA Boxing 2020 Squadra di qualificazione di boxe.

“Il secondo posto alle prove mi ha solo reso più desideroso di ottenere quel posto di qualificazione olimpica,"Medina ha detto. "Volevo solo mostrare a USA Boxing che ero io a rappresentare a 57 chilogrammi. Sto solo migliorando e non vedo l'ora di mostrare al mondo tutto quello che ho.

"Per questo (Strandja) essendo il mio primo torneo internazionale in assoluto, Sono stato molto orgoglioso di quanto sono arrivato lontano nel torneo e di aver ottenuto quella medaglia d'argento. Sono stato molto contento di tutte le mie prestazioni e sono entusiasta di tornare a lavorare su cose su cui devo migliorare. A parte tutto questo, andare in un altro paese è stato fantastico e non vedo l'ora di viaggiare di più facendo ciò che amo di più”.

Medina e le sue compagne di scuderia del Team USA si stanno attualmente allenando a Colorado Springs presso il modernissimo United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center. Per qualificarsi per la partecipazione ai Giochi Olimpici di quest'anno, Medina deve finire tra le prime tre nei 57 chilogrammi (125 lbs.) divisione all'America's Qualification Tournament, 26 marzo-aprile 3, a Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Fare la storia a San Diego essendo la prima persona a far parte della squadra olimpica di boxe è un grosso problema per la mia famiglia, la mia città e me stesso. Non posso esprimere quanto sono entusiasta di essere arrivato così lontano, ma c'è ancora tanto da fare, e sono pronto.

"Sento di lavorare meglio sotto pressione e credo davvero che mi qualificherò per Tokyo, che sia in Argentina o in Francia, ma il mio obiettivo principale, proprio adesso, è allenarsi duramente per ottenere quell'oro in Argentina".

Medina crede che la sua principale forza all'interno del ring sia la sua capacità di adattarsi durante un combattimento. Preferisce combattere all'esterno, ma può litigare se necessario, perché le piace tirare un sacco di pugni di potenza.

Medina si rende anche conto di essere in un posto privilegiato per quanto riguarda la crescente popolarità del pugilato femminile, seguendo negli Stati Uniti le orme di boxe del due volte medaglia d'oro olimpicaClaressa Shields e medaglia di bronzo olimpicaMarlen esparza, insieme ai passati olimpionici statunitensi comeRegina Sottobosco eMikaela Mayer.

"Il pugilato femminile diventerà sempre più grande,“Medina ha predetto. “Essere una combattente donna oggi significa molto per me, perché lo faccio da 15 anni, e vederlo crescere anno dopo anno mostra solo quanto siano forti le femmine e cosa possiamo realizzare. Prevedo che, nel futuro, il pugilato non sarà visto come uno sport da uomini, ma sarà neutrale sia per gli uomini che per le donne”.

Competere alle Olimpiadi è stato il sogno di una vita per Medina, ma ha anche dei progetti per il suo futuro immediato.

“Raggiungere le Olimpiadi è stato il mio obiettivo principale durante la mia carriera di pugile,” ha rimarcato Andrea, “Quindi ora che è così vicino mi viene voglia di lavorare ancora di più. Altri miei obiettivi sono laurearmi e ottenere il mio condominio, che farò dopo che tutto questo sarà finito.

“Ho intenzione di diventare professionista dopo le Olimpiadi, molto probabilmente all'inizio o nel mezzo di 2021, così posso finire la scuola e dare al mio corpo un po' di riposo e recupero".

Andrea Medina è così vicino ad essere un olimpionico e tutto ciò che è associato a quel risultato che può praticamente raggiungerlo e sentirlo. Solo un altro passo, sia a Buenos Aires che a Parigi, e sarà missione compiuta per lei.

ALLENTOWN, PA. (Febbraio 6, 2020) – WBC Featherweight Campione del Mondo Gary Russell Jr. and unbeaten mandatory challenger TugstsogtKing TugNyambayar went face-to-face at a final press conference Thursday before they headline action live on SHOWTIME on Saturday, Febbraio 8 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Kings Promotions, sono in vendita ora e possono essere acquistati tramite www.pplcenter.com/events (direct linkQUI).

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

Gary Russell JR.

“Abbiamo avuto un grande campo di addestramento. I have my younger brothers on the card with me and in camp, pushing me every day. Siamo pronti, 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.

“Se dipendesse da 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. Infatti, 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 NYAMBAYA

“Sono molto eccitato per questa lotta. 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. Sono pronto, 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.

“io sento 100% and I believe that bantamweight has always been my best weight. I did well at 122 libbre, 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 libbre. 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.

“Di Sabato, 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, vincere o perdere, I will leave everything in there. I fight with my heart and I fight for Puerto Rico.
