HEAVYWEIGHT UPSET BREWING IN DETROIT?

Gormley Confident that Undefeated Ruiz Will Taste Defeat at ‘Detroit Brawl’ su Sabato, Luglio 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 “avversario” 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 questo Sabato a 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, biglietti per “Detroit Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, Ringside $93, Riservato $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.
“E 'perfetto per me,” 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, diventato professionista in 1992 and flirted with world-contender status before suffering a pair of tough losses and retiring in 1999. Tuttavia, boxe, like any addiction, eventually lured him back.
“I just want to take opportunities and see what I can do,” lui ha detto. “Vincere o perdere, 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. Ora, 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.
Anche, Serdar Hudayberdiyev (2-0, 2 KO) of Turkmenabat, Turkmenistan, will face fellow undefeated fighter Steven Andrade (3-0, 2 KO) di 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 KO) is scheduled for a six-round cruiserweight match-up against Niagara Falls, New York’s Eric George (4-11).

MIAMI (Aprile 6, 2015) – Boxing Manager Veteran John Seip ha firmato pugile dilettante italiano pluridecorato Daniele Marco Scardina ad un contratto manageriale esclusivo.

Scardina, che aveva 56 attacchi amatoriali, catturato il massimo dei voti in numerosi tornei italiani tra cui il Rovereto Nazionale, Guanto d'argento nazionale, e due Golden Gloves nazionali. Ha anche vinto una medaglia di bronzo ad un evento internazionale.
In 2013, ha inscatolato per l'Italia Thunder Boxing Team nella World Series of Boxing, vincendo la sua unica partita contro un avversario tedesco.
Scardina prima catturato l'attenzione di Seip al famoso 5th St. Gym a Miami Beach, inaugurato nel 1950 da Chris Dundee, e la casa di innumerevoli campioni del mondo hanno addestrato lì compresi Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston e Willie Pep. La ricca tradizione continua nella nuova 5th St. Palestra, situato vicino a 1434 Alton Via, dove i migliori combattenti di tutto il mondo, come Bernard Hopkins ancora allenarsi.
“Ho visto la prima volta lui la formazione al 5th St. Palestra e sembrava un dilettante tipico,” Seip spiegato. “Ha gettato pugni larghi e non sapeva come gettare un buon jab. Formatori Guy Laieta e Dino Spencer ha iniziato a lavorare con lui e ora sta usando la sua portata, combattere a distanza, e gettando le combinazioni di colpi e ganci. E 'appassionato di boxe, ascoltare e imparare ogni giorno. Daniele ha una buona potenza e la velocità. E 'un bel ragazzo, troppo. Ho visto qualcosa in lui, intangibili, e ha deciso di ingaggiarlo.
“Dino è un proprietario che ha creato una palestra top-notch con grandi opportunità di combattimento in un ambiente che caratterizzano tanti combattenti di talento che in realtà spingono l'un l'altro. E 'già evidente che Danielle ha migliorato la sua formazione professionale lì. E 'lungo, veloce e potente. La sua etica del lavoro è incredibile; lui è il primo in palestra, ultimo a lasciare. Non si può far male questo ragazzo, o. Siamo tutti convinti che abbia un futuro molto brillante.”
A differenza di combattenti provenienti dalla Russia e paesi dell'ex blocco sovietico, così come quelli dell'America Latina che vengono negli Stati Uniti per stabilire la propria carriera professionale boxe, Caccia italiani nati raramente hanno seguito lo stesso percorso Scardina, che si è trasferito a Miami l'anno scorso e dorme sul pavimento dell'appartamento di suo fratello.

Antuofermo, anche se, si trasferì con la famiglia a Brooklyn dalla Puglia, Italia quando era 17 e ha imparato a box in America.
“Ho sempre voluto essere un campione in America,” Scardina said. “Questo è il sogno americano per me. Penso che avrò una grande opportunità in questo paese per essere il più grande pugile che posso stare con il giusto aiuto. John Seip è il manager giusto per me perché crede possibile il campionato del mondo insieme come una squadra.”
Pugili preferiti di Scardina sono Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux e Miguel Cotto. “Sto lavorando a perfezione come un combattente esterno e alle principali mie braccia più vicine,” Scardina added. Sto combattendo per diventare campione del mondo.”
Scardina si prevede di fare il suo debutto pro questo maggio o giugno.
