Plant City, Флорида (Квітня 2, 2018) – Rising star and WBC #13 rated middleweight Yamaguchi Falcao scored a one-sided eight round decision over tough veteran Richar Gutierrez Saturday, Березня 31 at the Marina Bay SportsPlex in Quincy, Массачусетс.

 

 

 

 

 

Fighting in front of a national audience on ESPN2, the bout got off to a strange start when Gutierrez was incorrectly credited with a knockdown in the opening seconds after stepping on Falcao’s foot then landing a punch. The 2012 Olympic medalist immediately got back on his feet and made Gutierrez pay the price from bell to bell.

 

 

 

 

Falcao dominated the fight with hard jabs and crisp straight lefts, scoring a knockdown in the closing moments of the fifth. The game Gutierrez attempted to throw Falcao off by regularly clinching and using roughhouse tactics but was unsuccessful.

 

 

 

 

Рахунки були 79-73, 78-72 і 78-71.

 

 

 

 

Falcao is now 15-0 з 7 KO’s and Gutierrez falls to 30-18-2 (19 КО).

 

 

 

 

“Gutierrez was an experienced and sometimes dirty fighter,” said Falcao, who fights out of Plant City, FL and proudly represents his native Brazil. “I had a job to do and went out there and did it. I’d like to thank my team who did a great job of getting me ready for this fight and helped me bring the victory home.”

 

 

 

 

Falcao, who has been turned down by a number of notable middleweights, is eager as ever to get his shot at another top 160 фунта боєць.

 

 

 

 

“I believe when I’m at my best I can compete with anybody in the division. I want the opportunity to fight for a world title and show everybody who I am.”

 

 

 

 

Details for Falcao’s next fight will be available shortly.

FNU Спортивні єдиноборства Показати: Звільнювачі ніколи не перемагають

Ця трансляція FNU Combat Sports Show починається з однієї з найбільш суперечливих історій тижня. Багато спортивних експертів швидко висміюють Гільєрмо Рігондо за ухилення від його боксерського поєдинку з Василем Ломаченком минулої суботи. ESPN, Стівен А.. Сміт не втрачав часу під час трансляції, вторгнення в кубинського боксера за відмову вийти на сьомий раунд одностороннього бою. Тедді Атлас, вигнаний з обов'язку звітувати за ринком завдяки своїм відвертим поглядам на корупцію у боксі та його абразивному ставленню до менш досвідчених коментаторів, вийшов на захист Ріго. Атлас сперечався зі Смітом із власної домашньої студії, в основному пояснюючи, що кожен - людина. Том, Тоні та Річ пропонують свої власні думки щодо ситуації та свої думки щодо “бій.”

Ми також відстежуємо останні новини з бойових видів спорту, підсумуйте події минулого тижня та попередньо перегляньте змагальні події UFC та Bellator цієї суботи. Ми навіть торкаємося декількох сюжетних рядків, за участю Флойда Мейвезера-молодшого. які обходяться в спортивних ЗМІ цього тижня. “Гроші” стверджує, що може заробити до мільярда доларів, якщо піде в UFC на три-чотири поєдинки.

‘THE AMERICAN GANGSTER’ CHAEL SONNEN ENDS RETIREMENT, SIGNS WITH BELLATOR MMA

By signing with the Scott Coker-led promotion, Sonnen effectively ends his retirement from professional mixed martial arts and he will now enter the 205-pound division championed by Ліам Мак-Гирі, серед інших.

 

“I’m consistently blown away by the product and presentation that Bellator is bringing to the fans,” said Sonnen. “I’m not nearly done competing and I’m coming after everyone, everywhere. I’m not sticking to one weight class either, I fight at ‘Gangster Weight’ and nobody is safe.”

 

Sonnen has spent a vast majority of his 43-fight career with the UFC, a run where he competed against names the likes of Jon Jones, Андерсон Сільва (2х), Рашад Еванс, “Шогун” Руа, Demian Maia, Brian Stann, and current middleweight champion Michael Bisping.

“Chael is an incredible athlete that has competed at the very highest levels of the sport,"Сказав президент Bellator MMA Скотт Кокер, “I know that he is going to continue to do just that here at Bellator. When we were in the process of signing him, Chael was adamant that he wants to compete in three divisions here. He already has unfinished business with Wanderlei Silva, but he also wants to fight guys like Tito Ortiz, Fedor Emelianenko and even Rory MacDonald at middleweight. These are all fights that I’d be very inclined to watch, so hopefully we can put some, if not all of these matchups together starting before the end of the year.”

In an action-packed fight during which both fighters threw over 750 удари, the Houston native Flores was slightly more fluid and able to do enough work on the inside to keep his unblemished record intact.
Flores said, “I thought I would hurt him with body shots, so we did a lot of work down there tonight. I think my movement was the difference. Ryan said I couldn’t move, but I showed him and everyone else that I can.
As Flores appeared to be stealing the early rounds, Kielczweski stepped on the gas at the midway point, throwing punches in bunches and landing regularly throughout the second half of the bout.
Kielczweski said, “I thought we fought a great fight tonight for the fans. I started a little slow, but I really picked it up in the fifth round.
The increased activity was a little too belated to salvage the fight for the Quincy, MA native.
Kielczweski added, “I was gaining steam in the second half of the fight. I can’t say that I won, but I thought it could have been a draw. It was a good fight though, and I will be back.
An excited Flores said, “It felt great to get this win tonight. I boxed and banged it out with (Kielczweski). He had some pop, and in the last round he got me with a good body shot, but we are used to tough fights like this. I like it like that. This is fun to me. We will watch the video and correct what I know were a lot of mistakes, but I believe I’m ready for the next level. I’m ready for the top contenders.

Ugas fought last 825 days ago when he lost his second consecutive bout, the third defeat of his career. Однак, Ugas showed no sign of ring rust в п'ятницю night as he casually controlled the action against James.
згас, a five-time Cuban National Champion, used his tremendous experience and was able to neutralize Jamesheight advantage.
We focused on the body because (Джеймс) was tall,” said Ugas. “So we planned on chopping him down, and that’s what I did.
Although Ugas had initially been preparing for his long-awaited comeback against the left handed Perrella, he had no difficulty with the orthodox James.
Ugas added, “I followed my corner’s instructions and won round by round. I felt very consistent in there tonight.
Knowing that he’d come up short, James said, “I thought it was a good fight. (згас) brought it tonight. I was fighting his fight unfortunately. I started to outpoint him late, so I should have started earlier with my combinations and countering. I was trying to knock him out and I should have just boxed.
James added, “I have no excuses though, I am a grown man and could have said ‘noto taking this fight. But fighting is what I do. Other fighters are not doing what I did tonight. Звичайно, if I had more time to prepare I might have done better, but I am a fighter.
On his prospects moving forward, Ugas said, “After the long layoff, this is a new beginning for me, and now I am looking for a big opportunity in my next fight. It felt good to get back to fighting.
A resilient James summed things up adding, “A fight like tonight makes me hungrier to get back in the gym and get myself ready to come back again better than ever.
