HEAVYWEIGHT UPSET BREWING IN DETROIT?
Gormley Confident that Undefeated Ruiz Will Taste Defeat at ‘Detroit Brawl’ sou Samdi, Jiyè 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 “opozan” 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 Ko) will face WBO #5-, IBF #5-, and WBC #7-rated and current NABF heavyweight champion Andy “The Destroyer from Mexicali” Ruiz (27-0, 18 Ko) in a non-title fight sa a Samdi nan 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, tikè pou “Detroit Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, Rinsid $93, Reserved $63 ak $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.
“Li nan pafè pou m ',” 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, vire pro an 1992 and flirted with world-contender status before suffering a pair of tough losses and retiring in 1999. Sepandan, boksè, like any addiction, eventually lured him back.
“I just want to take opportunities and see what I can do,” li te di. “Genyen oswa pèdi, 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. Koulye a,, 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 Ko) of Brooklyn via Georgia facing comebacking veteran Eric Hall (8-9-1, 4 Ko) of Durand, Michigan in a super lightweight six-rounder.
Epitou, Serdar Hudayberdiyev (2-0, 2 Ko) of Turkmenabat, Turkmenistan, will face fellow undefeated fighter Steven Andrade (3-0, 2 Ko) nan Atlanta, Georgia in a welterweight four-rounder.

Manadjè Jan Seip siyen Italyen Prospect super middleweight Daniele Marco Scardina
MIAMI (Avril 6, 2015) – Veteran manadjè boksè Jan Seip te siyen trè dekore Italyen boxer amatè Daniel Mark Scardina nan yon kontra san konte gestion.
Seip se pi byen konnen pou gide Pyè “Kid Chokola” Quillin Boksè mondyal la Òganizasyon (WBO) Tit middleweight mond. Natif natal New Yorker nan tou jere ap monte Britanik middleweight super Steed “Stallion a” Woodall (7-0-1, 5 Ko).
Scardina nan 21-zan vyen nan Rozzano, yon vil nan mwens pase 40,000 moun nan pwovens Milan. Li te kòmanse boksè nan 2008 a laj de 16, yo nan mak pye tonton li a ki moun ki te yon boxer nan tan sa a, osi byen ke wòl modèl Daniele nan.
Scardina, ki te gen 56 epizod amatè, pran onè tèt nan anpil tournois Italyen ki gen ladan rovereto Nasyonal la, Nasyonal gan Silver, ak de Nasyonal Gan Golden. Li te tou te genyen yon meday an kwiv nan yon evènman Entènasyonal.
Nan 2013, li nan bwat pou Italia loraj Ekip la Boksè nan Seri Mondyal la nan boksè, genyen sèlman matche ak li kont yon opozan Alman.
Scardina premye kenbe atansyon Seip a nan mond pi popilè 5th St. Gym nan Miami Beach, orijinal louvri nan 1950 pa Chris Dundee, epi yo gen kay la nan chanpyon nan lemonn inonbrabl ki resevwa fòmasyon ki gen ladan gen Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston ak Willie Pep. Tradisyon rich la ap kontinye nan nouvo nan 5th St. Gym, sitiye tou pre a 1434 Alton Street, kote avyon de gè tèt yo atravè mond la tankou Bernard Hopkins toujou tren.
“M 'premye wè l' fòmasyon nan la 5th St. Gym epi li te sanble ak yon amatè tipik,” Seip eksplike. “Li jete pwenson nan lajè ak pa t 'konnen ki jan yo jete yon koutpwen bon. Trainers Guy Laieta ak Dino Spencer te kòmanse ap travay avè l 'epi kounye a li te lè l sèvi avèk l' rive, goumen nan yon distans, ak voye konbinezon nan jabs ak Kwòk. Li nan pasyone sou boksè, koute ak aprann chak jou. Daniele gen vitès men bon ak pouvwa. Li se yon jenn ti kabrit bèl, twò. Mwen te wè yon bagay nan l ', imateryèl, ak deside siyen l '.
“Dino se yon mèt kay ki moun ki te kreye yon jimnastik tèt-dan ak gwo opòtinite bòks nan yon atmosfè prezante anpil avyon de gè talan ki vrèman pouse chak lòt. Li nan deja aparan ke Danielle te amelyore fòmasyon konpetans li gen. Li nan tan, vit ak pwisan. Etik travay li, se yon enkwayab; li se premye a nan jimnastik la, dènye yo kite. Ou pa ka fè mal jenn ti kabrit sa a, swa. Nou tout kwè ke li te gen yon tan kap vini trè byen klere.”
Kontrèman ak avyon de gè nan men Larisi ak ansyen nasyon Sovyetik-blòk, osi byen ke moun ki soti nan Amerik Latin ki moun ki vini nan Etazini a etabli karyè boksè pwofesyonèl yo, Avyon de gè Italyen ki fèt raman te swiv wout la menm jan Scardina, ki demenaje ale rete nan Miami ane pase a ak dòmi sou planche a nan apatman frè li a.
Lone Italyen ki fèt chanpyon nan mond ki te goumen pwofesyonèl nan Amerik se Vito Antuofermo (50-7-2, 21 Ko), ki moun ki te middleweight chanpyon nan WBC / WBA nan 1979-1980. Antuofermo, menm si, deplase li ak fanmi li nan Brooklyn soti nan Puglia, Itali lè li te 17 epi li te aprann kouman yo bwat nan Amerik.
“Mwen te toujou te vle yo dwe yon chanpyon nan Amerik,” Scardina di. “Sa a rèv Ameriken an pou m '. Mwen panse mwen pral gen yon gwo opòtinite nan peyi sa a yo dwe boxer nan pi gran mwen ka avèk èd nan dwa. Jan Seip se manadjè nan dwa pou m 'paske li kwè nou kapab chanpyona nan mond yo ansanm kòm yon ekip.”
Bokseur pi renmen Scardina a yo Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux ak Miguel Cotto. “Mwen ap travay sou pèfeksyon kòm yon avyon de gè soti deyò, li nan bra prensipal mwen an pi pre,” Scardina ajoute. Mwen goumen yo vin chanpyon nan lemonn.”
Scardina espere fè pro premye l 'Me sa a oswa Jen.
