In the night’s main event, WBO #5, IBF #5, e WBC #7 and current NABF heavyweight champion, Andy “The Destroyer from Mexicali” Ruiz (28-0, 19 Kos), stayed unbeaten and showed off some fast, powerful fists, as he stopped Miami’s Josh “Dempsey” Gormley at 1:42 da terceira rolda.

HEAVYWEIGHT UPSET BREWING IN DETROIT?

Gormley Confident that Undefeated Ruiz Will Taste Defeat at ‘Detroit Brawl’ en Sábado, Xullo 16
, at Masonic Temple Having already experienced being a world-rated TV-level fighter under tremendous pressure to win every fight impressively, Miami-based slugger Josh “Dempsey” Gormley says he much prefers the lowered expectations of being considered the “adversario” since coming back to boxing.
“There’s a lot of pressure on you as the A-side guy,” explained Gormley. “As an opponent, I’m supposed to lose, so when I win it’ll be that much more dramatic.”
Gormley (22-4, 21 Kos) will face WBO #5-, IBF #5-, and WBC #7-rated and current NABF heavyweight champion Andy “The Destroyer from Mexicali” Ruiz (27-0, 18 Kos) in a non-title fight este sábado en Detroit. The two bruising heavyweights will meet in the 10-round main event of Salita Promotions’ latest “Detroit Brawl” event at the Masonic Temple.
Sponsored by Thomas Magee’s Sporting House Whiskey Bar, entradas para “Detroit Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, Ringside $93, Reserved $63 e $38, and Balcony $28, and are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Tickmaster.com.
Gormley says he isn’t prepared to go along with the expected outcome for a 41-year-old fighter taking on a top contender in just his third fight since returning from a 16-year retirement. He’s coming to Detroit to win.
“El é perfecto para min,” he said of Ruiz. “I feel like I’m fighting the weakest guy in the top 10. He doesn’t punch hard and I won’t have to look for him. He comes forward a lot and he’s not Floyd Mayweather. I don’t think he can handle my power. Now that I’m older, I hit harder than ever and I’m in great shape. I doubt it’ll last the distance. I’ll get him out of there in about five rounds. Even if he does, I’m in great shape to beat him over the distance.”
Gormley, reportedly the grandson of all-time-great heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey, converteuse en profesional en 1992 and flirted with world-contender status before suffering a pair of tough losses and retiring in 1999. Con todo, boxeo, like any addiction, eventually lured him back.
“I just want to take opportunities and see what I can do,” el dixo. “Gañar ou perder, I’m just carrying on my legacy and seeing what I can still do. My goal is to be champ of the world. But I’m not chasing that dream lie I used to. A long time ago I chased the heavyweight championship dream so hard that every loss was devastating. Agora, I want to take the opportunities as they come and win some of them. And hey, when I beat this guy, I’m back in the top 10!”
Scheduled in support of the main event that night will be Giorgi Gelashvili (4-0, 2 Kos) of Brooklyn via Georgia facing comebacking veteran Eric Hall (8-9-1, 4 Kos) of Durand, Michigan in a super lightweight six-rounder.
Tamén, Serdar Hudayberdiyev (2-0, 2 Kos) of Turkmenabat, Turkmenistan, will face fellow undefeated fighter Steven Andrade (3-0, 2 Kos) de Atlanta, Georgia in a welterweight four-rounder.
The opponent for the long-awaited pro debut of Dearborn, Michigan’s “Southpaw Prince” Gheith Karim, a three-time national amateur champion, will be two-fight welterweight scrapper Dean Walsh Jr. of Monroe, Michigan.
Detroit prospect Demetrius Banks (7-0, 4 Kos) is scheduled for a six-round cruiserweight match-up against Niagara Falls, New York’s Eric George (4-11).
Promising Detroit bantamweight Jarico O’Quinn (1-0, 1 KO), a recent Salita Promotions signee, will take on Sergio Aguilar (0-3) of Miami Beach, Florida, in a four-round bout; super bantamweight Zach Shamoun (3-0-1, 3 Kos) of Royal Oak, Michigan, will face also-unbeaten Jose Elizondo (1-0) de San Antonio, Texas; and so-far perfect undefeated cruiserweight Clarence Dubose (3-0, 3 Kos) of Detroit will look to keep his KO streak intact against Karinn Davis (2-6, 2 Kos) de Jackson, Michigan.
Detroit middleweight Dorell Van Horn Jr. (9-0, 6 Kos) will face Rapid City, South Dakota’s Ryan Soft (3-5-1, 1 KO) in a six-rounder.

Director John Seip asina italiano super-medios perspectiva Daniele Marco Scardina
MIAMI (Abril 6, 2015) – Empresario de boxeo Veteran John Seip asinou altamente condecorado boxeador afeccionado italiano Daniel Mark Scardina para un contrato exclusivo de xestión.
Seip é máis coñecido por orientador Peter “Chocolate Kid” Quillin a Organización Mundial de Boxeo (WBO) título dos medios do mundo. O nativo de New Yorker tamén xestiona subindo británico super-medios Corcel “O Stallion” Woodall (7-0-1, 5 Kos).
The 21-year-old Scardina vén de Rozzano, unha cidade de menos de 40,000 de persoas na provincia de Milán. Empezou o boxeo en 2008 coa idade de 16, seguindo os pasos do seu tío, que foi un boxeador, nese momento, así como modelo de Daniele.
Scardina, que tiña 56 loitas afeccionadas, honores mellores capturados en numerosos torneos italianas, incluíndo o National Rovereto, Luva de Prata Nacional, e dúas Luvas de Ouro Nacionais. Tamén gañou unha medalla de bronce en evento internacional.
En 2013, el casetonado ao Boxing Team Italia Thunder in the World Series of Boxing, gañar o seu único partido contra un rival alemán.
Scardina primeiro chamou a atención de Seip no mundialmente famoso 5th St. Academia en Miami Beach, orixinalmente inaugurado en 1950 por Chris Dundee, e na casa de campións mundiais incontables adestrar alí, incluíndo Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston e Willie Pep. A rica tradición continúa co novo 5th St. Academia, situado nas proximidades, 1434 Alton Rúa, onde os mellores loitadores de todo o mundo, tales como Bernard Hopkins aínda adestrar.
“A primeira vez que o vin adestrando na 5th St. Ximnasio e el parecía un afeccionado típico,” Seip explicou. “El xogou socos de ancho e non sabía como xogar un bo jab. Trainers Guy Laieta e Dino Spencer comecei a traballar con el, e agora está a usar o seu alcance, combate a unha distancia, e xogando combinacións de jabs e ganchos. El é apaixonado por boxeo, escoitar e aprender todos os días. Daniele ten boa velocidade da man e poder. El é un neno bonito, moi. Vin algo nel, intanxibles, e decidiu contratalo lo.
“Dino é un propietario que creou un top-notch ximnasio con grandes oportunidades de sparring nunha atmosfera que caracterizan tantos loitadores talent que realmente empurrar uns aos outros. É xa evidente que Danielle mellorou o seu adestramento de habilidades alí. El é longo, rápido e poderoso. Súa ética de traballo é incrible; el é o primeiro no ximnasio, último a saír. Non podes ferir o neno, ou. Todos cremos que ten un futuro moi brillante.”
Ao contrario de combatentes de Rusia e antigos países do bloque soviético, así como aqueles latinoamericanos que veñen a Estados Unidos para establecer as súas carreiras de boxeo profesional, Loitadores nacidos de italianos raramente seguiron o mesmo camiño que Scardina, que se cambiou a Miami o ano pasado e durmir no chan do apartamento do seu irmán.
O solitario campión do mundo de orixe italiana que loitou profesional nos Estados Unidos é Vito Antuofermo (50-7-2, 21 Kos), quen foi o campión dos medios do WBC / WBA en 1979-1980. Antuofermo, aínda, trasladouse coa súa familia a Brooklyn de Puglia, Italia, cando el era 17 e aprendeu a caixa en América.
“Sempre quixo ser un campión de América,” Scardina dixo. “Ese é o soño americano para min. Eu creo que eu vou ter unha grande oportunidade neste país ser o maior boxeador podo estar coa axuda certa. John Seip é o director certo para min, porque cre que pudermos o campionato mundial xuntos como un equipo.”
Puxilista favoritos de Scardina son Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux e Miguel Cotta. “Eu estou a traballar en perfección como un loitador fóra e principais meus brazos máis próximos,” Scardina engadido. Estou loitando para facer campión do mundo.”
Scardina se espera para facer a súa estrea en maio ou xuño.
