Pes mosca/51 kg/112 lliures

2016 U.S. Proves olímpiques per equips per campió de boxa Virginia Fuchs (Houston, Texas) no va poder avançar cap al Rio 2016 Jocs Olímpics durant la classificació internacional, però ha dominat la divisió de pes mosca des d'aleshores. Havent guanyat vuit medalles internacionals des d'aquelles proves, Fuchs podria enfrontar-se a la seva major competència del jove talent de Cel Garcia (La Muntanya, Qualif.). García, bicampió del món en les divisions júnior i juvenil, ha estat el que s'ha de mirar durant molts anys, i aquests judicis podrien ser la seva festa de sortida a la divisió d'elit. No obstant això, Cristina Cruz (La cuina de l'infern, N.Y.), medalla de bronze en dues ocasions del Campionat del Món Elit, aportarà experiència al seu tercer U.S. Proves olímpiques per equips de boxa que seran dures per a qualsevol boxejador que s'enfronti. Mariana González (Sunnyvale, Qualif.) es va situar al capdamunt del podi al Western Elite Qualifier, mentre que subcampió Jazzelle Bobadilla (Platja d'Ewa, Hawaii) té una experiència internacional al seu costat que la pot ajudar a trastocar aquesta divisió. Jasmine Hampton (Ann Arbor, Mich.) va ser victoriosa a l'última oportunitat de classificació per marcar el seu bitllet al Lake Charles, amb Lina Vezzani (Brooklyn, N.Y.) i Estefania Chávez (Taronja, Qualif.) arrodonint la divisió de pes mosca.


Pes ploma/57 kg/125 lliures

S'espera que sigui la classe de pes més competitiva en l'àmbit femení, la divisió de pes ploma té nombrosos boxejadors que busquen avançar a la següent fase del procés de selecció. Cinc dels vuit boxejadors tenen medalles del Campionat del Món, amb els tres últims boxejadors fent actuacions impressionants a les seves eliminatòries. Yarisel Ramírez (Las Vegas, Nevada) va guanyar una plata a la 2015 Campionats del món júnior, així com un bronze al 2019 Jocs Panamericans en el seu primer any a la divisió d'elit. Dos cops medallista de bronze al Campionat del Món Juvenil ISsaMAY Aquino (Ciutat Universal, Texas) lidera el recompte de medalles i buscarà seguir fent-se un nom. Lupe Gutiérrez(Sacramento, Qualif.) i Iyana Verduzco (Los Angeles, Qualif.) va guanyar medalles d'or en el seu debut al Campionat del Món, amb Gutiérrez guanyant al 2015 Campionats del Món júnior i Verduzco al 2018 Campionat del món juvenil. Mikiah Kreps(Cascades Del Niàgara, N.Y.) va guanyar la medalla de bronze al Campionat del Món Elit d'aquest octubre en el seu debut internacional, i utilitzarà la confiança d'aquesta actuació a Lake Charles.

Lleuger/60 kg/132 ​​lliures

Rashida Ellis (Lynn, Missa.) entra el 2020 U.S. Proves Olímpiques amb confiança al seu costat, després d'una impressionant 2019 cursa que va incloure medalles de bronze a la 2019 Jocs Panamericans i Campionats del Món. Amelia Moore (Alexandria, Va.) i Estació Suttles(Bronx, N.Y.) tots dos tenen experiència en el Campionat del Món, així com guanyar actuacions internacionals per ser forts aspirants a fer-se amb el títol i avançar a la següent fase de la classificació als Jocs Olímpics de Tòquio 2020. Ravven Brown (Sant Antoni, Texas) recentment va fer el seu debut internacional al 2019 Campionats del món d'elit i va tenir un ràpid èxit en la seva curta carrera de boxa. Kimberly Carlson (Chicago, Ill.) iWhitney Gómez (Doblar, Hores.) va deixar d'or les eliminatòries de l'oest i l'última oportunitat, mentreJennifer López (Jersey City, N. J.) i Rebecca Maine (Pittsburgh, Pa.) completen el camp després de les seves actuacions amb la medalla de plata a Ohio i Califòrnia.

Pes welter/69 kg/152 lliures

Oshae Jones (Toledo, Ohio) va fer història aquest any amb la seva medalla d'or a la 2019 Jocs Panamericans i sembla ser un dels favorits per a la divisió de pes welter. La remuntada d'uns quants boxejadors i l'ascens d'alguns jugadors en ascens faran d'aquesta una altra classe de pes interessant per veure.. Dos boxejadors que recentment han tornat a l'esport i volen canviar les coses Daniel Wolf (San Diego, Qualif.) i Mary Spencer (Boulder, Colo.). Llop, tres vegades campiona nacional de boxa dels EUA i dues vegades campiona continental la va fer tornar al ring de manera impressionant a Reno aquest any., mentre que Spencer, que és de doble ciutadania, va representar Canadà a la 2012 Jocs Olímpics i va guanyar tres Campionats del Món sota bandera canadenca, va guanyar la qualificació de l'est per marcar el seu bitllet als EUA. Proves olímpiques per equips de boxa. Sharahya Moreu (Albuquerque, N.M.) pot ser la més jove de la divisió amb 20 anys, però té una gran experiència i la farà servir contra els seus oponents grans.. Briana Che (Madison, Wisc.), Ari's Skog(Boston, Missa.) i Jill Stafford (La Taula, Qualif.) tots van guanyar medalles de plata en les seves respectives competicions de classificació i podrien sorprendre fàcilment a molts a Lake Charles, mentre Liz Flores(Woodland Hills, Qualif.) va aconseguir l'últim lloc per competir després que Morelle McCain decidís competir a la divisió de pes mitjà després de la seva classificació a les dues classes de pes..

Pes mitjà/75 kg/165 lliures

Des de la sortida de la doble campiona olímpica Claressa Shields a les files professionals, Naomi Graham (Fayetteville, N.C.) ha estat el líder de l'equip dels EUA a la divisió de pes mitjà, guanyant múltiples medalles internacionals, inclosa una plata a la 2019 Jocs Panamericans i un bronze als 2018 Campionats del Món. 2017 Campió mundial de la joventut Citlalli Ortiz (Coachella, Qualif.) va fer una actuació dominant a la recent qualificació de l'última oportunitat, incloent dues victòries de RSC, i buscarà continuar els seus camins guanyadors al Lake Charles, mentre Morelle McCane (Cleveland, Ohio) va tenir una impressionant 2019, aconseguint un bronze en el seu debut internacional a principis d'any. Alexis Gómez(Sud de San Francisco, Qualif.) i Kendra Reeves (Twin Falls, Idaho) va aconseguir títols a les eliminatòries de l'oest i l'est per marcar les seves entrades a Louisiana i buscaran tenir un altre torneig victoriós, mentre Fallon Farrar (Colorado Springs, Colo.),Reparació de melodies (Brooklyn, N.Y.) i Rachael Washington (Nova York, N.Y.) va guanyar les medalles de plata als tres tornejos de classificació i esperarà millorar les seves actuacions a Lake Charles.

“Smokin’”Joe Frazier punched way into USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame

classe de 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino a Lake Charles, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Volta. (Novembre 21, 2019) – One of boxing’s all-time greatest, la tarda, gran“Smokin’” Joe Frazier, will be inducted posthumously into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, Divendres nit, Desembre 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino a Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 Proves Olímpiques i 2019 National Championships Dec. 7-15, at Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Desembre. 15, a l'hotel Golden Nugget & Casino a Lake Charles, Louisiana. Hall of Fame broadcasterEn Bernstein from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes two other Olympic gold-medalists“Big” George ForemaniMark Breland, in addition to a pair of decorated coachesA l'Mitchell iRay Rodgers

Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

“On behalf of our family,” Joe’s sonMarvis Frazier dit, “we’d like to thank the USA Boxing Alumni Association for remembering Joe Frazier. Honoring him like this will introduce to him to new generations of boxing fans.

“My father learned discipline he needed to go on and win Olympic gold and do what he need to be world champion. He took that to the pros and beatMuhammad Ali in the best fight in the world. They were two great champions who worked together to show people what boxing is really all about.”

Born in South Carolina, Frazier was well known as an elite Philadelphia boxing product, compilar una 38-2 amateur record. He was a three-time National Golden Gloves champion whose only two losses were both toBuster Mathis, who was the only opponent to defeat Frazier, including a loss by decision – questionable according to Frazier – in the Olympic Trials.

When U.S. Olympic Team heavyweight qualifierBuster Mathis was unable to compete at the 1964 Olympic Games due to injury, Frazier took full advantage of this opportunity as a replacement.

Frazier went on to become one of only four American boxers to medal in Tokyo, Joe the lone gold medalist, despite breaking a thumb in the semifinals. A la primera ronda, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (Austràlia) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Rússia) a la ronda semifinal, Frazier won by way of a second round KO, even though he broke his left thumb.

Unwilling to tell anybody that he had broken his thumb, fearing that he wouldn’t be allowed to fight, Frazier showed the tremendous grit he became famous for by winning a close decision, 3-2, versusHans Huber (United Team of Germany) in the championship final to capture a gold medal.

“Winning an Olympic gold medal was the highlight of his amateur career,” Marvis noted. “It meant that he was the best in the world, and it also made things easier for his next step into the pros. I think he felt it helped made him a real man, the best in the world, and not many people can say that. Winning Olympic gold with a broken thumb showed our father what he could do and proved that he was the man. He wasn’t afraid to get the job done. No excuses, get the jog done, was what my father said all the time. And you better had gotten the job done.”

Frazier (32-4-1, 27 KOs) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofMuhammad AliJimmy Ellis (dues vegades), Bob Foster, Oscar Bonavena(dues vegades), Jerry Quarry, MathisDoug JonesEddie Machen iGeorge Chuvalo during his 16-year professional career.

Listed at only 5-11 ½, Frazier was best known for his bobby, weaving, relentless pressure and liver-damaging left hook. He passed away November 7, 2011 due to complications from liver cancer at the age of 67.

“Joe’s legacy will live on forever throughout USA Boxing,” addedChris Cugliari, Director executiu de l'Associació d'Antics Alumnes de Boxa dels EUA. “His toughness and heart were second to none, and today’s USA Boxing champions can look to Joe for the definition of a champion in and out of the ring. We look forward to honoring his legacy as a Hall of Famer on December 13º."

CHRIS EUBANK JR. & MATT KOROBOV TRAINING CAMP QUOTES

Middleweight Star Chris Eubank Jr. & Top Contender Matt Korobov Discuss Upcoming Showdown for Interim WBA Middleweight Title On Saturday, Desembre 7 En viu per SHOWTIME® from Barclays Center in Premier Boxing Champions Event



BROOKLYN (Novembre 19, 2019) – Middleweight star Chris Eubank Jr.. i els principals candidats Matt Korobov shared their thoughts on their upcoming showdown for the Interim WBA Middleweight Title taking place Saturday, Desembre 7 en viu per SHOWTIME a Barclays Center,la casa de BROOKLYN BOXA ™.



The middleweight division will take center stage on the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®transmissió per televisió (9 p.m. ET / 6 pm. PT) that is headlined by undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo defending his title against highly-ranked contender Dennis Hogan. A la primera baralla de la transmissió per televisió, former world champions Marlon Tapales i Ryosuke Iwasawill meet for an interim 122-pound title.



Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment en viu, que està promogut per Lions Only Promotions i TGB Promotions, are on-sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com
i barclayscenter.com. Tickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Descomptes per a grups estan disponibles trucant al 844-BKLYN-GP.



Eubank will make his U.S. pro debut on December 7, after establishing himself as a contender at 160 i 168 pounds while fighting in his native United Kingdom. He most recently registered a career-best win over former champion James DeGale in February on SHOWTIME in London but will now move back down to 160 pounds to seek a title at middleweight beginning with the fight against Korobov.



Korobov will return to fight at Barclays Center for the second time nearly one year after losing a close decision to Charlo as a late replacement opponent last December in Brooklyn. After fighting to a controversial draw against Immanuwel Aleem in May, Korobov will look to make a statement against Eubank to earn another shot at a world title.



Here is what Eubank and Korobov had to say about their matchup, a future fight with Jermall Charlo and more:



CHRIS EUBANK JR.



How does it feel to be making your U.S. pro debut on December 7? What are you looking to show the U.S. fans in this fight?



“It’s always been a dream of mine to fight in the U.S. Even with everything I’ve done in the sport over in the U.K, I’ve always felt there was something missing and I believe it was the urge to introduce myself and my fight style to the American audience of fight fans. Now I have my opportunity.”



Why did you make the decision to move down to middleweight for this fight? In what ways are you stronger at 160-pounds?



“I’ve never been a real super middleweight. I walk around at 170 pounds out of competition and have to eat breakfast the day of my weigh-ins to make 168. I believe at 160 I am going to be a beast now that I have become accustomed to fighting much bigger fighters over the last three years.”



What do you know about Korobov as a fighter and how do you see this fight going stylistically?



“I think Korobov will be awkward until I pin him down and when I do, I will show the audience why I am a fan friendly fighter.”



If you’re able to get past Korobov, what would you think of a fight against Jermall Charlo? What advantages do you think you have in that fight?



“When I dispatch of Korobov, Charlo is definitely the name that’s on my radar. He is seen as one of the elite fighters in the middleweight division and I intend to prove that he is not on my level. It will be satisfying stamping my mark on the division against Charlo after I beat Korobov. I think it will be a great fight for the fans as together our styles would make for a very exciting bout.”



MATT KOROBOV



Is it exciting to be back at Barclays Center as the co-main event to Charlo, because with a win, you have an opportunity to show him why you deserve the rematch?



“Sí, it is very exciting to be back at Barclays Center, only this time I will leave with the belt. I thought I deserved an immediate rematch against Charlo because many people believed I won. I think when I defeat Eubank Jr. and win this belt, it will force Charlo to give me a rematch. We shall see. I only focus on one fight at a time and right now I am only focused on Chris Eubank Jr.”

How do you stay mentally focused on the next fight when you believe you had two bad scorecards go against you?



“I do not focus on the past. I focus on the future because I can only control the future. I will be my best and my best will be good enough against Chris Eubank Jr. We’re doing everything possible in camp to make sure I’m ready.”

What do you make of Eubank as a fighter? How do you expect the fight to look stylistically?



“Eubank is a very good fighter, one of the best. I believe I am a more disciplined fighter. I think my technique is better, but he does some things very well. Let’s see on December 7. I don’t want to give away the weaknesses I see, but the style difference will make a very entertaining fight for the fans.

Do you think you have the advantage as far as boxing skills over Eubank? How do you counter his possible size advantage, given that he’s coming down from 168 lliura?



“I think my skills are better. I do not think weight will be an issue. He is professional and I am professional. Si alguna cosa, perhaps it is a little more difficult for him to make 160 after years at 168. I will fight anyone between 160 i 168 lliura, so I don’t see any problem with weight for me, perhaps more for him. We will find out December 7.”

SLOAN, Iowa – November 15, 2019 - 2016 Argentinian Olympian and welterweight prospect Alberto Palmetta put a late exclamation point on an impressive display, scoring a final-round TKO of undefeated Mexican prospect Erik Vega in the main event of ShoBox: La Nova Generació Friday night from WinnaVegas Casino in Sloan, Iowa.



Palmetta (13-1, 9 KOs), who came out of the amateur ranks billed as one of the top prospects in Argentina’s boxing history, broke open a close fight by producing a massive rally that stunned Vega (16-1, 9 KOs) and ultimately led to referee Mark Nelson intervening at the 1:03 mark of the 10º i ronda final. Entering that round, Palmetta was leading 87-84 on two of the judges’ scorecards and 86-85 on the other. (Palmetta KO: https://twitter.com/
ShowtimeBoxing/status/1195578842091532288
)



Capping off his display in stylish fashion, the 29-year-old southpaw Palmetta led 30-3 in overall punches and 28-1 in power punches in the tenth, increasing his final leads to 170-157 in overall punches landed and 148-24 in power punches landed.



“I knew we were up on the scorecards,” said Palmetta. “We didn’t need the knockout, but we wanted it. I had him hurt a couple times in the fight but I didn’t follow up. Al 10º, I had him out on his feet. It was a good stoppage. He was done.”



“We don’t make excuses,” said the 24-year-old Vega after his first career professional loss. “I believe the referee was right in stopping the fight. I think I need to practice more and I needed to throw more combinations. This was a great learning experience. We’ll go back to the drawing board and come back stronger.”



In an entertaining and crowd-pleasing co-featured bout, Houston’s Joe George (10-0, 6 KOs) won a controversial split decision over the much busier Marcos Escudero (10-1, 9 KOs). Els jutges van marcar la lluita 97-94 (George), 97-93 (George) i 96-94 (Escudero).



Argentina’s Escudero began the fight with a bang as his 135 total punches thrown was tied for the seventh most ever recorded by CompuBox in a light heavyweight fight. He kept his blistering pace up throughout the entirety of the fight, llançament 106 punches in the final round and 911 cops totals, but the judges were more impressed by George’s heavier punching and superior accuracy. George stunned Escudero in the ninth round and was accurate on 34 per cent del seu total de ponches, en comparació amb només 19 percent for Escudero. The total numbers landed were close, as Escudero landed 177 total punches while George landed 161.



SHOWTIME’s Hall of Famer analysts Barry Tompkins and Steve Farhood, along with former world champion Raul Marquez, all had Escudero winning the fight comfortably on their scorecards.



“I’m not surprised at all by the decision,” said George, who is co-managed by seven-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Trent Williams. “I knew he was a front runner. I knew he was going to get tired. We wore him down. I made the fight a little harder for myself by staying on the ropes a little too long, but we got through it. That’s something that we can work on and improve in the gym.



“I’m really a 168 pounder so that’s where we want to go next. If he wants the rematch, we’ll give it to him but we already beat him.”



Escudero, who was riding a six-fight knockout streak entering the fight, was disappointed in both his performance and the judges’ interpretation of the fight.



“No excuses. I didn’t do my job,"Ell va dir. "Vaig guanyar la lluita 100 per cent, but no excuses from us. Això és la boxa. I never give up. It’s all part of the game. Vull una revenja, 100 cent ".



In the televised opener between two power punchers who had combined for 10 first-round KOs, undefeated knockout artist Amilcar Vidal, Jr. (10-0, 9 KOs) improved his knockout rate to 90 percent by dropping previously unbeaten Zach Prieto (9-1, 7 KOs) twice en route to another first-round stoppage. (Vidal KO: https://twitter.com/
ShowtimeBoxing/status/1195550064225198081
)



The 23-year-old Vidal, from Montevideo, Uruguai, floored El Paso’s Prieto with a flush left hand with 30 seconds left in the opening round. With Prieto hanging on, Vidal finished the job just before the bell sounded in the opening round, unleashing a flurry of punches capped by a hook to the side of the head that prompted the stoppage from referee Mark Nelson at 2:59. The blow closed out a fight in which Vidal led 22-14 in overall punches and 16-9 en cops de força, including margins of 13-1 in overall punches and 10-1 in power punches in the final minute.



“I won the fight in the gym,” said Vidal, who was fighting in the United States for the first time. “The ring was easy tonight because of the work we did in the gym. I had a game plan and I executed it to perfection. I had a plan to use the left hook and I waited for the right moment to open up, and when I saw it I threw it perfectly.”



Friday’s fights were promoted by Sampson Boxing in association with Paco Presents. The full telecast will replay on Monday, Novembre 18 a 10 p.m. ET/PT a SHOWTIME EXTREME i estarà disponible a SHOWTIME EN QUALSEVOL MOMENT® i SHOWTIME a DEMANDA®.

Los Angeles’ Santa Cruz hosted media at City of Angels Boxing as he nears his opportunity to win a world title in a fourth weight class. Here is what Santa Cruz had to say Wednesday:

LEO SANTA CREU

I’m only focused on my fight because I know that Miguel Flores is going to bring everything he has to try to win that title. There are a lot of great champions in this division but I can’t think of anything past Flores.

I’m expecting a classic Mexico vs. Mexico brawl. Flores is from Michoacan and the people from there have a lot of heart and they leave everything in the ring. I’ve seen him do it. He throws to the body really well. He has a good uppercut too. So I know it’s going to be a tough fight.

We always work hard in the gym so that we can throw a lot of punches in the fight. We want to put the pressure on and give the fans a great fight and take home the win.

I train hard no matter who the opponent is. That’s the only thing I know how to do. So I don’t think about any let downs, only about winning the fight in front of me. I think this is a great opportunity to introduce myself to the division.

I’m going to go in there and fight hard for 12 rounds or as long as it lasts. I’m going to be smart and make sure I get the win. But we also always want to give the fans a great show from start to finish.

“Em sento molt bé ara mateix. I think I’m going to be strong at that weight and have extra power in the ring on fight night. I don’t spend as much time in camp worrying about cutting weight so everything else will be better because of that. I’m going to be ready for everything Miguel Flores can bring.

I want to win another title for my legacy and so I can continue to give fans great fights. This is a great opportunity so I’m going to go ahead and make the most of it.

It’s great to be on this card with such an exciting main event. You know that Deontay Wilder can knock anyone out at any minute. The heavyweight division is really exciting right now and I know Wilder and Luis Ortiz are going to give everyone something to remember. I want to make an exciting fight too and steal the show. It’ll be hard to do, but I’m going to go out there and try to do it.

Highly Anticipated WBC Super Welterweight Title Rematch Between Tony Harrison & Jermell Charlo Headlines Live in Primetime on FOX PBC Fight Night & On FOX Deportes Saturday, Desembre 21 from Toyota Arena in Ontario, Califòrnia – 8 p.m. ET / 5 PM. PT

ONTARIO, Califòrnia. (Novembre 5, 2019) – The highly anticipated WBC Super Welterweight Title rematch between Tony “Superdolent” Harrison i Jermell “Iron Man” Charlo will headline live in primetime in FOX PBC Fight Night Action and on FOX Deportes Saturday, Desembre 21 from Toyota Arena in Ontario, Califòrnia.

Harrison vs. Charlo II is a high-voltage rematch that has been building ever since the end of the first matchup. The two were set to meet in June, but the rematch was postponed when Harrison suffered torn ligaments after spraining his ankle in training.

Now that he is fully healed, Harrison is ready to solidify his hold on the title while Charlo is ready to take back what he believes belongs to him. The rematch comes just one day short of a full year from the first time the two stepped into ring against each other on FOX.

After a dramatic and razor thin first fight, Tony Harrison and Jermell Charlo are sure to be at their best on December 21 when they settle their rivalry in a can’t miss rematch,” va dir Tom Brown, President de Promocions TGB. “This is the kind of high stakes 50-50 fight that belongs in primetime on FOX and I know that the Southern California boxing fans watching in Ontario will love everything that these two champions bring to the ring.

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment, que està promogut per Lions Only Promotions i TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com.

In the first meeting, Harrison deployed a tactical defensive strategy that blunted much of the force of Charlo’s high-powered offense. The intrigue of the rematch is whether Harrison will be able to use a similar strategy to remain champion or will Charlo be able to impose his will on Harrison and regain the title.

The 29-year-old Harrison (28-2, 21 KOs) entered the first match against Charlo having come up short in his previous world title attempt. He lost to Jarrett Hurd in a bid for the IBF title in 2017. Harrison, a protégé of the late Emanuel Steward and a native of Detroit, bounced back with three strong performances, including a decision victory over former world champion Ishe Smith.

The delay just made me even hungrier heading into this fight,” va dir Harrison. “Watching Charlo the night we were supposed to go shine, and rejuvenate himself, it built up so much hunger in me. I’m tired of the talk and the noise. Estic llest per anar.

We’re looking to work smarter this time,” added Harrison. “I think everything I did before worked, but we want to make it even more decisive. The plan is to be more technically sound overall. You may see an early knockout. It’s tense between both parties. I’m pretty sure he wants to knock me out as much as I want to knock him out. Whoever has the best plan will win. But I’m by far the better athlete. Athlete for athlete it’s not even close. I’ll beat him in everything, corrent, bàsquet, futbol. My style is perfect for his style. He’s Shane Mosley to my Vernon Forrest. I’ll beat him every time I face him.

It was an emotional night for Charlo (32-1, 16 KOs) the first time he fought Harrison. He and his twin brother, Jermall, the WBC Middleweight World Champion, were defending their titles on a FOX PBC Fight Night doubleheader at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Jermell and many ringside observers thought he had done enough to beat Harrison, but the judges saw it differently, handing Harrison a unanimous decision victory and setting up a hotly contested rematch.

A 29-year-old native of Houston, Texas, Charlo, won the title with a knockout victory over John Jackson in 2016. He went on to establish himself as one of the best young finishers in the sport with devastating stoppage victories over Charles Hatley and Erickson Lubin in defense of the title. He scored a majority decision over former world champion Austin Trout before taking on Harrison and most recently scored a knockout victory over Jorge Cota on FOX in June.

I still feel strongly that I won that first fight and I’m going to do things in a more dominant fashion this time,” Said Charlo. “I’m coming in to this fight being the overpowering, fort, ferocious Jermell Charlo. Tony Harrison is not on my level. It’s my job on December 21 to prove that and to prove my worth. I’m coming in there mentally focused. When I fought Jorge Cota, that’s a prelim of what’s to be expected from me in the future.

I want to look for the knockout and set it up,” continued Charlo. “I don’t want it to go the judges. That’s my worst nightmare. If it does go 12 rondes, he’s going to be very injured at the end. The loss taught me how to be more patient and to take things step-by-step. I’m going to show everyone why Jermell Charlo is a threat to the whole 154-pound division. I personally feel I’m the best in the division. I’m an upgraded Jermell Charlo that you’ll see on December 21.

Boxing’s Best Kept Secret Undefeated WBC Youth World lightweight champion Jamaine “El Tècnic” Ortiz

WORCESTER, Missa. (Novembre 5, 2019) – Undefeated World Boxing Youth World lightweight champion Jamaine “El Tècnic” Ortiz (12-0, 6 KOs) és, potser, the best prospect in the world who most boxing fans don’t know.

A large part of the problem, però, is that the 23-year-old Ortiz, born and raised in the fighting city of Worcester, Massachusetts, never aspired to be a professional boxer, despite having a decorated amateur career.

He started boxing when he was six years old, thanks to National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame trainer Carlos García, who has run the boxing program at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club for nearly 40 any.

The naturally gifted Ortiz compiled an outstanding 100-14 rècord amateur, highlighted by a silver medal at the 2015 Guants d'Or Nacionals Torneig, in which he lost in the championship final to future professional world champion Joselito Lopez, plus back-to-back gold medal performances at the New England Tournament of Champions in 2015 & 2016.

Testimony to Ortizpromising potential was his final amateur match, which was a solid victory against Abraham “Súper” Nova, que és 17-0 (13 KOs) com a professional, as well as the reigning North American Boxing Association champion, and rated by the World Boxing Association (AMB) com el núm. 8 super featherweight in the world.

Turning pro wasn’t my end goal,” consummate boxer Ortiz said. “It really wasn’t on my mind. I focused on regional and national tournaments. I always thought I’d win an Olympic gold medal and then turn pro. I wish I had been better prepared to turn pro.

People that know me didn’t even realize that I had turned pro. It took a while before I adjusted, but I never really transitioned. Others had a game plan; I didn’t have a clue, but soon realized trophies I won in the amateurs weren’t going to pay the bills. Most of my fans today are other fighters and coaches.

When his Olympic dream ended, after he lost in the semifinals of the Olympic Trials, that’s when his promoter, Jimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports / CES), and co-adviser, Providence businessman Richard Shappy got involved in Ortizpro career. They’ve invested time, money and energy, believing in Ortiz and his tremendous potential.

“Per anys,” explained Shappy, who advises Ortiz along with Eddie Imondi,” I kept telling Jimmy (Burchfield) that I was interested in getting involved with a boxer, but that it had to be the right one. One day Jimmy called to say this (Ortiz) is the one. I jumped onboard. He convinced me that Jamaine is a future world champion. We jumped in from his first fight, on the ground floor, and we believe he is going to be world champion.

Burchfield has promoted the likes of five-time world champion Vinny Pau, U.S. OlímpicJason Estrada, Ray Oliveira, Gary Balletto, Peter Manfredo, Jr. and many others during his 25-plus years in the boxing industry. “Jamaine is the best I’ve promoted since Vinny Paz,” Burchfield claimed without hesitation. “He’s one of the best prospects in the world today and someday he’ll be world champion. Some say he has the good looks ofOscar de la Foia; others feel his style is like that ofSucre’ Ray Leonard.”

When his Olympic dream unceremoniously ended, he decided to turn pro in 2016, winning his pro debut when Josh Parker retired after one round. The highlight of his young pro career to date was winning an eight-round unanimous decision this past February from previously undefeated (10-0) Ricardo Quiroz to capture the vacant WBC Youth World lightweight title, the same belt once proudly worn by, irònicament, the aforementioned Lopez, així com Juan Díaz i Daniel Estrada.

Past CES-promoted fighters who were WBC World Youth champions include three-time world champion “Dolent” Txad Dawson i el pes pesat polonès Maruisz Wach.

In his last fight and first WBC World Youth title defense this past August, Ortiz won a dominating eight-round unanimous decision over 8-1-1 Romain Couture, pitching a shutout by winning each round on all three judges’ quadres de comandament.

Ortiz’ time to star in the ring is coming. He is a diamond in the rough; jove, talented and with tremendous upside. He has a strong team behind him, including head coach Rocky Gonzalez and Garcia, who is still working his corner

Ortiz’ fan-base will eventually develop and quickly grow as more and more boxing fans discover this gifted boxer as he ascends to the top of the boxing mountain.
2020 promises to be theYear of The Technician,” Jamaine Ortiz.
