Boxing Fans Help Salita Promotions Donate Over 3000 Meals to Forgotten Harvest
Promoter Dmitriy Salita proudly announces his latest installment of “Detroit Brawl,” Sábado night at the Masonic Temple, was a tremendous success, helping him donate over 3000 meals to Forgotten Harvest, one of the nation’s largest food rescue organizations.
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 rodada.
Em outra acção, super lightweight Girorgi Gelashvili (5-0, 3 KOs) survived an early knockdown to stop Eric Hall (8-10-1, 4 KOs) of Durand, Michigan, in four rounds; cruiserweight Demetrius Banks (8-0, 4 KOs) of Detroit dropped Eric George (4-12) of Niagara Falls in the first round, but ended up having to settle for a unanimous six-round decision victory; super bantamweight Zach Shamoun (4-0-1, 3 KOs) of Royal Oak, Michigan, took a four-round unanimous decision over Jose Elizondo (1-1) de San Antonio, Texas; welterweight Sedar Hudayberdiyev (3-0, 2 KOs) of Turkmenistan won an entertaining four-round unanimous decision over formerly undefeated Steven Andrade (3-1, 2 KOs) of Atlanta Georgia; Detroit bantamweight Jarico O’Quinn (2-0, 2 KOs) was impressive in stopping Sergio Aguliar (0-4) of Miami Beach in three rounds; and lastly, Dearborn welterweight Gheith “Southpaw Prince” Karim made his pro debut a successful one by stopping Dean Walsh, Jr., na primeira rodada.
Palavra, who donated a portion of every ticket sold to Forgotten Harvest, says the event’s success went a lot further than the boxing ring that night.
“When we started these events, the goal was not only to bring a regular professional boxing program back to Detroit, but also to give back to this wonderful city and I’m happy to say we’re doing it,” Disse Palavra. “I couldn’t be more proud. Thank you to the fans who came out that night and to my wonderful sponsor, Thomas Magee’s. Thank you to my entire team and to all the fighters for their brave efforts. Thank you to the team at the Masonic and to all the big-name Detroit fighters who showed up in support of the event. We will be doing it again soon.”

HEAVYWEIGHT UPSET BREWING IN DETROIT?

Gormley Confident that Undefeated Ruiz Will Taste Defeat at ‘Detroit Brawl’ em Sábado, Julho 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 “adversário” 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) em uma luta sem título neste sábado em 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, bilhetes para “Detroit Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, Ringside $93, Reservado $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.
“Ele é perfeito para mim,” 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, tornou-se profissional em 1992 and flirted with world-contender status before suffering a pair of tough losses and retiring in 1999. Contudo, boxe, like any addiction, eventually lured him back.
“I just want to take opportunities and see what I can do,” ele disse. “Ganhar 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.
Também, 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, em um ataque de quatro rodada; 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) em uma rodada de seis rodadas.

Gerente John Seip assina italiano super-médios perspectiva Daniele Marco Scardina
MIAMI (Abril 6, 2015) – Empresário de boxe Veteran John Seip assinou altamente condecorado boxeador amador italiano Daniel Mark Scardina para um contrato exclusivo de gestão.
Seip é mais conhecido por orientador Peter “Chocolate Kid” Quillin a Organização Mundial de Boxe (WBO) título dos médios do mundo. O nativo de New Yorker também gerencia subindo britânico super-médios Corcel “O Stallion” Woodall (7-0-1, 5 KOs).
The 21-year-old Scardina vem de Rozzano, uma cidade de menos de 40,000 de pessoas na Província de Milão. Ele começou o boxe em 2008 com a idade de 16, seguindo os passos de seu tio, que foi um boxeador, nesse momento, bem como modelo de Daniele.
Scardina, que tinha 56 lutas amadoras, honras melhores capturados em inúmeros torneios italianas, incluindo o National Rovereto, Luva de Prata Nacional, e duas Luvas de Ouro Nacionais. Ele também ganhou uma medalha de bronze em evento internacional.
Em 2013, ele encaixotado para o Boxing Team Italia Thunder in the World Series of Boxing, ganhar seu único jogo contra um adversário alemão.
Scardina primeiro chamou a atenção de Seip no mundialmente famoso 5th St. Academia em Miami Beach, originalmente inaugurado em 1950 por Chris Dundee, e na casa de campeões mundiais incontáveis ter treinado lá, incluindo Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston e Willie Pep. A rica tradição continua com o novo 5th St. Academia, localizado nas proximidades, 1434 Alton Rua, onde os melhores lutadores de todo o mundo, tais como Bernard Hopkins ainda treinar.
“A primeira vez que o vi treinando na 5th St. Ginásio e ele parecia um amador típico,” Seip explicou. “Ele jogou socos de largura e não sabia como jogar um bom jab. Formadores Guy Laieta e Dino Spencer comecei a trabalhar com ele, e agora ele está usando seu alcance, combate a uma distância, e jogando combinações de jabs e ganchos. Ele é apaixonado por boxe, ouvir e aprender todos os dias. Daniele tem boa velocidade da mão e poder. Ele é um garoto bonito, muito. Eu vi algo nele, intangíveis, e decidiu contratá-lo.
“Dino é um proprietário que criou um top-notch ginásio com grandes oportunidades de sparring em uma atmosfera que caracterizam tantos lutadores talentosos que realmente empurrar uns aos outros. É já evidente que Danielle melhorou seu treinamento de habilidades lá. Ele é longo, rápido e poderoso. Sua ética de trabalho é incrível; ele é o primeiro no ginásio, último a sair. Você não pode ferir o garoto, ou. Nós todos acreditamos que ele tem um futuro muito brilhante.”
Ao contrário de combatentes da Rússia e antigos países do bloco soviético, bem como aqueles da América Latina que vêm para os Estados Unidos para estabelecer suas carreiras de boxe profissional, Lutadores nascidos de italianos raramente têm seguido o mesmo caminho que Scardina, que se mudou para Miami no ano passado e dorme no chão do apartamento de seu irmão.
O solitário campeão do mundo de origem italiana que lutou profissionalmente nos Estados Unidos é Vito Antuofermo (50-7-2, 21 KOs), quem foi o campeão dos médios do WBC / WBA em 1979-1980. Antuofermo, embora, se mudou com sua família para o Brooklyn de Puglia, Itália, quando ele era 17 e ele aprendeu a caixa na América.
“Eu sempre quis ser um campeão da América,” Scardina disse. “Esse é o sonho americano para mim. Eu acho que eu vou ter uma grande oportunidade neste país ser o maior boxeador eu posso estar com a ajuda certa. John Seip é o gerente certo para mim, porque ele acredita que pudermos o campeonato mundial juntos como uma equipe.”
Pugilistas favoritos de Scardina são Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux e Miguel Cotto. “Eu estou trabalhando em perfeição como um lutador fora e principais meus braços mais próximos,” Scardina adicionado. Estou lutando para se tornar campeão do mundo.”
Scardina é esperado para fazer sua estréia em maio ou junho.
