HEAVYWEIGHT UPSET BREWING IN DETROIT?

Gormley Confident that Undefeated Ruiz Will Taste Defeat at ‘Detroit Brawl’ på Lördag, Juli 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 “motståndare” 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 denna lördag i 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, biljetter till “Detroit Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, Ringside $93, Reserverad $63 och $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.
“Han är perfekt för mig,” 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, vände pro i 1992 and flirted with world-contender status before suffering a pair of tough losses and retiring in 1999. Emellertid, boxning, like any addiction, eventually lured him back.
“I just want to take opportunities and see what I can do,” sa han. “Vinna eller förlora, 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. Nu, 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.
Också, Serdar Hudayberdiyev (2-0, 2 Kos) of Turkmenabat, Turkmenistan, will face fellow undefeated fighter Steven Andrade (3-0, 2 Kos) av 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).

Chef John Seip tecknar italiensk super mellanvikt utsikter Daniele Marco Scardina
MIAMI (April 6, 2015) – Veteran boxning manager John Seip har tecknat högt dekorerad italiensk amatör boxare Daniel Mark Scardina till ett exklusivt chefsavtal.
Seip är mest känd för att styra Peter “Kid Choklad” Quillin till World Boxing Organization (WBO) världen mellanvikt titel. Personen New Yorker förvaltar också stigande brittisk super mellanvikt Steed “Hingsten” Woodall (7-0-1, 5 Kos).
Den 21-årige Scardina kommer från Rozzano, en stad med mindre än 40,000 människor i provinsen Milano. Han började boxning i 2008 vid en ålder av 16, efter i sin farbrors fotspår som var en boxare på den tiden, samt Daniele s förebild.
Scardina, som hade 56 amatör skjutningarna, fångade toppriser i många italienska turneringar inklusive Rovereto National, Nationell silver Glove, och två nationella Golden Gloves. Han vann också en bronsmedalj vid en internationell händelse.
I 2013, Han boxades för Italia åska Boxing Team i World Series of Boxing, vinna sin enda match mot ett tyskt motståndare.
Scardina först fångade Seip uppmärksamhet på den världsberömda 5th St. Gym i Miami Beach, ursprungligen öppnades 1950 av Chris Dundee, och hem för otaliga världsmästare har tränat där bland annat Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston och Willie Pep. Den rika tradition fortsätter i den nya 5th St. Gym, ligger i närheten på 1434 Alton Street, där topp fighters från hela världen, såsom Bernard Hopkins fortfarande utbilda.
“Jag såg honom först träna på 5th St. Gym och han såg ut som en typisk amatör,” Seip förklarade. “Han kastade breda slag och visste inte hur man kastar en bra jab. Utbildare Guy Laieta och Dino Spencer började arbeta med honom och nu är han använder sin räckvidd, kämpar på distans, och kastar kombinationer av stötar och krokar. Han är passionerad om boxning, lyssna och lära varje dag. Daniele har bra hand hastighet och kraft. Han är en stilig grabb, alltför. Jag såg något i honom, immateriella, och beslutade att underteckna honom.
“Dino är en ägare som har skapat en förstklassig gym med stora sparring möjligheter i en atmosfär som presenterar så många duktiga fighters som verkligen driva varandra. Det är redan klart att Danielle har förbättrat sin färdighetsträning där. Han är lång, snabb och kraftfull. Hans arbetsmoral är otroligt; han är den första i gymmet, sista att lämna. Du kan inte skada den här killen, antingen. Vi tror att han har en mycket ljus framtid.”
Till skillnad från fighters från Ryssland och fd Sovjet nationer, liksom de från Latinamerika som kommer till USA för att etablera sin yrkesboxningskarriär, Italienska födda fighters sällan har följt samma väg som Scardina, som flyttade till Miami förra året och sover på golvet i sin brors lägenhet.
Den ensamme mästaren italienskfödda värld som slogs professionellt i Amerika är Vito Antuofermo (50-7-2, 21 Kos), som var mästare i mellanvikt WBC / WBA i 1979-1980. Antuofermo, fast, flyttade med sin familj till Brooklyn från Puglia, Italien när han var 17 och han lärde sig hur man boxas i Amerika.
“Jag har alltid velat bli en mästare i Amerika,” Scardina sa. “Det är den amerikanska drömmen för mig. Jag tror jag ska ha en stor möjlighet i detta land för att vara den största boxaren jag kan vara med rätt hjälp. John Seip är rätt manager för mig eftersom han tror att vi kan VM tillsammans som ett team.”
Scardina favorit boxare är Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux och Miguel Cotto. “Jag jobbar på perfektion som en utanför kämpe och till huvud mina armar närmare,” Scardina tillsatt. Jag kämpar för att bli världsmästare.”
Scardina förväntas göra sin pro debut i maj eller juni.
