ΓΙΑ ΑΜΕΣΗ ΔΗΜΟΣΙΕΥΣΗ
Βερόνα, Νέα Υόρκη (Οκτώβριο. 21 2017) -Two-Time undefeated world champion Demetrius Andrade made a successful debut as a middleweight by winning a dominant 12-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Alantez Fox at The Turning Stone Resort Casino.
The bout was the co-feature bout of an HBO Boxing After Dark® tripleheader
In round one, Andrade rocked Fox with a blistering straight left hand. Fox was wobbled badly, and Andrade jumped on Fox. After landing several hard follow up shots, Fox was able to hold on and get out of the first frame. Andrade was dominant as he continued to land swift combinations at will. That opening flurry caused Fox to engage very sporadically during the fight
In round seven, Fox was awarded a dubious knockdown when Andrade slipped on the wet canvas. Television replays showed that Fox did not even land a punch during that exchange.
That was the only blemish for Andrade, as he controlled the action by using his superior skills on both the inside and landing crisp and sharp punches on the outside and he cruised home to the victory. Compubox punch stats showed the dominance of Andrade as he outlanded Fox 158-52 over the 12-round bout with Andrade winning the power shots by a 132-29 margin.
Those stats were evident in the scoring as Andrade of Providence, Rhode Island won by scores of 118-110, 118-109, και 116-111 to push his perfect mark to 25-0.
Fox loses for the first time, and the native of Forestville, Maryland is now 23-1-1.
ANDRADE QUOTES
I did what I had to do in there. I think I did very well, but I will look at the fight and then give myself a grade after that,” Είπε Andrade.
I did everything I needed to do. It was a great experience to go 12 rounds at this weight. Fox is a tough kid, and after I hurt him early in the first round, he recovered well. He wasn’t sloppy and he knew how to survive, so that is why I did not finish him.
I took my time and I needed the 12 γύρους. I knew I could hurt him and had the pop to do it.
I will go back and work on putting a little more pop on my punches and I feel that I can do a lot of damage.
He was a big test. Nobody would step up and face him, and I did. This is why I am the best, because I am willing to face anybody. Fox is a good fighter and he will do damage down the line, but like I told everybody before the fight, Look out It’s me again!.”
Σε μη-τηλεοπτική δράση, Ruben Villa remained perfect by winning a six-round unanimous decision over German Meraz in a featherweight bout.
Villa controlled the action against the 100 fight veteran Meraz. Villa won by shutout margins on all cards by the scores of 60-54 which made Villa of Salinas, California raise his mark to 9-0. Meraz of Agua, Prieta, Το Μεξικό είναι 54-45-1.
The card opened up with Michael Dutchover beating down and eventually stopping Anthony De Jesus Ruiz in round four of their six-round lightweight bout.
Dutchover landed heavy blows throughout the contest and had Ruiz in trouble several times before the bout was stopped at 2:42 του γύρου τεσσάρων.
Dutchover of Santa Fe Springs, California via Midland, Τέξας είναι τώρα 7-0 με πέντε knockouts. Ruiz of San Luis Potosi, Mexico is now 2-4.
The AndradeFox bout was promoted by Banner Promotions, Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and A-Team Promotions, σε συνεργασία με την DiBella Entertainment.

The VillaMeraz & DutchoverRuiz fights were promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.

Heralded Prospects Ruben Villa and Michael Dutchover to appear on non-televised undercard this Saturday night at Turning Stone Resort Casino

ΦΙΛΑΔΕΛΦΕΙΑ, PENN./ORANGE, Καλιφόρνια. (Οκτώβριο. 19, 2017) – Heralded prospects, featherweight Ruben Villa (8-0, 4KOs) and junior lightweight Michael Dutchover (6-0, 4 KOs) will return to action αυτό το Σάββατο night on the non-televised portion of an HBO Boxing After Dark® card at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.
Villa of Salinas, Καλιφόρνια θα αναλάβει 103 fight veteran German Meraz in a featherweight bout, while Dutchover of Santa Fe Springs, California via Midland, Texas will fight Anthony De Jesus Ruiz in a junior lightweight contest.
Villa and Dutchover are co-promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.
Both are training in Santa Fe Springs, California and are ready for their 2nd appearances on the East Coast.
Each fighter chimed in with thoughts on their respective battles.
Everything has gone good in training camp. I just fought four weeks ago, but I stay ready and that is the case now. I am ready for Saturday night,” said Villa.
Meraz is by far the most veteran opponent that Villa has faced. He has been in the ring with 25 undefeated opponents and 9 πρωταθλητές κόσμου.
I just need to be patient against him. He has over 100 fights and knows his way around the ring. If a knockout presents itself then I have to take it, but I want to display my skills.
Being on a big card has the 20 year-old Villa excited, and he is looking to endear himself to the New York fight crowd.
I am excited to be fighting on a bigger show. It motivates me to do better and get on the broadcast someday soon. It is very exciting to be on these types of events.
This will be the ninth bout for Villa in just fifteen months he is very happy about the progress of his career.
When I signed the plan was to be active, and that has been the case. I would like to get one more fight in this year. But I first I am very excited to put on a great performance Σάββατο το βράδυ.”
Dutchover has moved his camp from Texas to California, and the results have been very good as he heads into his bout Σάββατο.

“Όλα πάνε πολύ. I just fought last month, and I felt good. I am ready to go back to the east coast, and put on a great show.
Like Villa, Dutchover was very impressive in his east coast debut on 14 Απριλίου, and he is looking to cement himself as one of the top prospects in the junior lightweight division.
This is nothing new. I have fought on big shows before in the amateurs. The ring is my home. As long as I am in the ring, I will do my thing and put on an impressive performance.
Even though Dutchover has very little to go on when it comes to scouting Ruiz, Dutchover is already a young veteran and is leaving no stone unturned.
I do not know much about him, but I am prepared for anything he will bring, and then I will adjust. I have had many different sparring partners with diverse styles, so that gets me ready for any opponent.
I planned for this, and I train hard. I am always ready when I get the call for a fight. I am glad that I have been busy, and I have been improving with each fight, and next year should be a good year in my career. I have a mentality that if I train hard, the fight is easy. When I get in the ring, I just like to have fun.

Ruben Villa Receives Local Award for Community Building Efforts


ΓΙΑ ΑΜΕΣΗ ΔΗΜΟΣΙΕΥΣΗ
ΠΟΡΤΟΚΑΛΙ, Καλιφόρνια. (Αύγουστος. 10, 2017) – Ruben Villa (7-0, 4 KOs), one of boxing’s brightest, young talents in the featherweight division, recently received an award for his community building presence in his hometown of Salinas, Καλιφόρνια.
The Monterey County Board of Supervisors recognized Team Villa Boxing, a non-profit gym, for creating a safe space for low-income youths in East Salinas. Through grants, Team Villa Boxing offers free boxing and physical fitness lessons to select youths.
I was really surprised that we were honored with the award because we only found out about it the day before,” Villa said. “We are obviously very happy about it, but we don’t do it for the recognition. It’s all about helping the community. There’s not much opportunity out here so we have to give the kids additional chances to succeed.
Ruben cares about his community and wants to be a positive role model to the local kids,” said Danny Zamora, Villa’s manager. “The gym offers a safe and productive outlet for young kids and keeps them from getting into trouble.
For those that are unaware, Salinas has an ongoing struggle with drug related gang violence. The Villa family, in an effort to pull local kids away from a life of crime, formed the gym three years ago. When not conducting training camps in Riverside, Καλιφόρνια., Villa stays sharp at the gym that bears his name.
Villa received the honor as part of theNational Night Outevent hosted by the City of Salinas.
The public awareness event, which drew thousands to the Salinas Soccer Complex, aimed to strengthen community relations with law enforcement and other public safety personnel such as firefighters and first responders.
Villa marks his return to the ring on a Thompson Boxing card Παρασκευή, Επτά. 22 από το ξενοδοχείο Doubletree στο Οντάριο, Καλιφόρνια. An opponent will be announced at a later date.
Villa is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.

ΠΟΡΤΟΚΑΛΙ, Καλιφόρνια. (Μάιος 22, 2017) – Top featherweight prospect Ruben Villa (6-0, 4 KOs) continues to impress early in his professional career. Βίλα, a southpaw fighting out of Salinas, Καλιφόρνια., picked apart Anthony de Jesus Ruiz (2-3, 2 KOs) to win by fifth round technical knockout.
Βίλα, who was naturally bigger than Ruiz, unloaded a serious of damaging shots in the fifth round. By that point, Ruiz had already absorbed a great deal of punishment and his corner wisely put an end to the onslaught at the 2:43 σημάδι.
My jab was working well all night,” said Villa, who is promoted by Thompson Boxing and Banner Promotions. “I worked off backing him up with the jab and then that opened up a lot of angles for me to land power shots.
Ruben looked fantastic την Παρασκευήνύχτα,” είπε ο Ken Thompson, πρόεδρος της Πυγμαχία Thompson. “He looked really comfortable and was in firm control of the fight from start to finish. He managed to fight a patient, yet aggressive fight to secure another knockout win.
We have been very happy with Ruben’s development. He is shaping to be the fighter we believe he will be,” said Banner Promotions vice-president, Matthew Rowland. “He is going to have a big future.
The fight can be viewed on Thompson Boxing Promotions Facebook page.

ΠΡΟΦΟΡΙΚΗ ΣΥΜΦΩΝΙΑ ΑΝΑΝΕΩΣΗΣ ΤΗΣ FORTUNA ΜΕ ΤΟ SAMPSON BOXING

Πρώην πρωταθλητής WBA Featherweight και Super Featherweight Javier “Η Abejon” Τύχη (31-1-1, 22 KOs) έχει ανανεώσει τη μακροπρόθεσμη διαφημιστική του συμφωνία με τον υποστηρικτή Sampson Lewkowicz και τον Sampson Boxing.
Από τη Λα Ρομάνα, Δομινικανή Δημοκρατία, ο 27χρονος Fortuna έχει κερδίσει δύο συνεχόμενα από τότε που έριξε τη ζώνη του σούπερ featherweight σε σοκ ενάντια στον Jason Sosa τον Ιούνιο 2016. Επέστρεψε με ένα εντυπωσιακό αμφίδρομο χτύπημα του συναδέλφου της Δομινικανής Marlyn Cabrera τον Σεπτέμβριο 2016 και στη συνέχεια, το Νοέμβριο πήρε το αήττητο ρεκόρ του Omar του Delaware “Σούπερ O” Ντάγκλας με ομόφωνη απόφαση.
“Ο Sampson Lewkowicz είναι και θα είναι πάντα ο υποστηρικτής μου,” είπε Fortuna. “Έχει κάνει σωστά από εμένα και την καριέρα μου σε κάθε στροφή. Θα γίνω και πάλι παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής με τον Sampson στη γωνία μου.”
Lewkowicz, που λέει ότι εργάζεται σε έναν μεγάλο αγώνα για τη Φορτούνα, λέει ότι η Φορτούνα έχει γίνει σαν οικογένεια.

“Ο Χαβιέ είναι γιος για μένα. Έχω την τιμή να γίνω υποστηρικτής του και ανυπομονώ να συνεχίσω να εργάζομαι γι 'αυτόν. Είναι ένας μεγάλος πρωταθλητής με πολλούς μεγάλους αγώνες. Αφού κέρδισε τον πρώτο του τίτλο, μου είπε ότι θα συνεργαστούμε για ολόκληρη την καριέρα του και έχει κρατήσει τον λόγο του. Θα κάνω τα πάντα για να τον κάνω ξανά πρωταθλητή.”

Yohan Vasquez positioning himself for world featherweight title shot; Dominican featherweight takes on unbeaten Maikol Beaumont

ΓΙΑ ΑΜΕΣΗ ΔΗΜΟΣΙΕΥΣΗ
Μάρτιος 27 στο Σαντιάγο, Δομινικανή Δημοκρατία
NEW YORK CITY (Μάρτιος 13, 2017) – World-class featherweight Yohan “Η Έκθεση” Vasquez (18-1, 16 KOs) will put his world ratings on the line, Μάρτιος 27 at home in an eight-round bout against undefeated Venezuelan prospect MaikolLa PerlaMaikin Beaumont (12-0-1, 7 KOs), at New Monte Bar in Santiago, Δομινικανή Δημοκρατία.
The 22-year-old Vasquez is a former Interim World Boxing Council (WBC) σούπερ πρωταθλητής featherweight. A dangerous puncher who also boxes effectively, he is currently world rated by the World Boxing Association (WBA) at No. 13, καθώς και αριθ. 15 από το WBC.

LAS VEGAS (Ιαν. 28, 2017) – Leo Santa Cruz reclaimed the WBA Featherweight Championship, executing a brilliant game plan to dethrone Carl Frampton in a rematch of their epic first fight in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Σάββατο μπροστά απο 10,085 raucous fans at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

 

With the scores 114-114 κλήρωση, και 115-113 δυο φορές, both fighters now own a majority decision and promised to settle the score in a trilogy.

 

The fight picked up where the champions left off last July in Brooklyn with tremendous action and back and forth exchanges, but it became immediately evident that Santa Cruz had adjusted his game plan. The three-division world titlist worked off the jab, fought with patience at range and picked his spots perfectly. The brawler out-boxed the boxer.

 

Frampton (23-1, 14 KOs) was more aggressive in the second half of the fight and attacked on the inside, but his aggression opened him up to effective counter shots from Santa Cruz (33-1-1, 18 KOs).

 

Σάντα Κρουζ, who has made a living with trademark aggression and high volume output, was clearly more patient in the second fight. He threw 884 γροθιές, well below his division-leading average, including over 400 τρυπήματα. Frampton, του Μπέλφαστ, Βόρεια Ιρλανδία, managed to throw nearly 600 γροθιές, but he connected at just 22 τοις εκατό.

 

As was the case in the first fight, the rematch was fought at times at a blistering pace, especially in the second half. Frampton and Santa Cruz combined to throw 193 punches in the final round, 90 of which were thrown by Frampton, the most he threw in any round of the fight.

 

"Πριν από τον αγώνα, I said I wanted revenge and I wanted to work hard,” said the 28-year-old Santa Cruz. “I went to the gym and I worked hard and I did what I had to do.

 

“My head was telling me to go forward and pressure him, but my dad and corner were telling me to box him. That’s what I had to do. I always fight for the fans, αλλά απόψε I fought for myself too.”

 

Leading into the rematch, it became evident that Santa Cruz and Frampton were perhaps forever linked. Santa Cruz had promised to earn back his title and grant Frampton a rematch, while Frampton didn’t shy away from expressing his desire to make their rivalry a trilogy.

“Of course I want the rematch,” Santa Cruz said after the fight. “I’m a man of my word and I said if I won I would give him the trilogy. Carl Frampton is a good fighter. Let’s make a third fight.”

 

The two-division titlist Frampton, who was the consensus 2016 Μαχητής της χρονιάς, told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray that Santa Cruz deserved the decision.

 

“It was a very tough fight,"Δήλωσε ο Frampton, που γυρίζει 30 years old next month. “Some of the rounds were close. I really think Leo deserved it. He told me what he was going to do. The brawler was out-boxing the boxer. My fault. Λυπάμαι. We will have to do it again. We have to do it again.

 

“He was very clever and he used his reach. I think he deserved it. I’m being honest. But it was a very good fight. I think I can perform slightly better. Δεν υπάρχουν δικαιολογίες.

 

“Let’s do it again. I hope he’s a man of his word and comes to Belfast. I hope he does.”

 

MIKEY GARCIA KNOCKS OUT DEJAN ZLATICANIN

Mikey Garcia became a three-division world champion with a vicious third-round knockout of previously undefeated defending WBC Lightweight World Champion Dejan Zlaticanin in the co-main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

 

The rousing and definitive victory marked Garcia’s return to boxing’s elite. The Oxnard, Καλιφόρνια., native was an undefeated two-division champion when he entered a two-and-a-half year layoff due to promotional issues. He returned last July on SHOWTIME with an impressive performance and made a statement Σάββατο by capturing a title in a third weight class in just his second fight σε τρία χρόνια.

 

Γκαρσία (36-0, 30 KOs) kept Zlaticanin off balance and out of range with his jab, setting up powerful rights that repeatedly backed up his opponent. The 29-year-old hurt Zlaticanin with a flush right uppercut in the final minute of the third, followed by a punishing and perfectly timed right that immediately knocked the Montenegrin out cold. Zlaticanin remained on the canvas for several minutes before returning to his feet as a concerned Garcia paced the ring.

 

It was the first time Zlaticanin (18-1, 11 KOs), the most avoided fighter at 135 λίρες, was ever hurt or knocked down.

 

“I’m thankful Dejan, my opponent, is okay now,” Garcia said. “We never wish any bad on anyone in this sport and I’m glad he was able to get up and be OK. I wished him a great career still, and he said thank you. I told him he’s still a champion. Once a champion, always a champion.

 

“He kept coming in and I saw the opportunity for the uppercut. He was hurt. When he turned back to look at me I knew he was hurt and I went for the overhand right. I saw it in his eyes. It was just the perfect time and perfect distance.

 

“I think the layoff allowed me to reignite my fire and my passion and bring back that love for the sport. And in that two-and-a-half year layoff I always had the support of my loyal fans.”

 

Garcia now sets his sites on unifying the lightweight division. WBA Lightweight World Champion Jorge Linares and former titlist Anthony Crolla will fight in a highly anticipated rematch on Μάρτιος 25 live on SHOWTIME from Manchester, Αγγλία. The WBC, the belt Garcia picked up Σάββατο, has mandated that the winner of Linares vs. Crolla II must face the winner of Zlaticanin vs. Γκαρσία.

 

“I’m available to unify any titles. If we can get the organizations to come together and unify titles we would love that. Maybe move up to 140 pounds by the end of the year.”

 

Zlaticanin, who was the first champion in the history of Montenegro, was frustrated with his performance and inability to execute his game plan.

 

I was just getting ready to pick it up a little bit and I got between the ropes and then he hit me with a good, hard punch,” Zlaticanin said.

 

Mikey is a good fighter without a doubt. I never was able to get into the fight. I was pressuring and trying to break him down in the early rounds.

 

SHOWTIME BOXING ON SHOWTIME EXTREME RESULTS

Ivan Redkach outclassed Demond Brock, utilizing effective uppercuts and body shots en route to an eighth-round knockout victory (2:30) on SHOWTIME BOXING on SHOWTIME EXTREME.

 

Once a highly-touted prospect, REDK (20-2-1, 16 KOs) was looking to get back to his winning ways after entering 1-2-1 στα τέσσερα τελευταία περιόδους του. He stamped his return by closing the show in impressive fashion in the eighth and final round, flooring Brock with two big left hooks with little more than one minute left in the fight. Brock (13-4-1, 4 KOs) beat the count but was on unsteady legs and defenseless against a barrage of combo shots, forcing referee Jay Nady to step in and halt the contest with just 30 seconds left on the clock.

 

“Είμαι πολύ ενθουσιασμένος. Εγώ δεν θα μπορούσε να είναι πιο ευτυχισμένοι,” Redkach said. “I want to thank Team Santa Cruz. Είναι η οικογένειά μου. We had a great camp and I can’t wait to see Leo fight. I’m just so happy I won the fight.

 

Highly-regarded super middleweight prospect David Benavidez made quick work Sherali Mamadjanov, knocking down the previously once-beaten fighter twice en route to a second round TKO (1:04).

 

The 20-year-old Benavidez (17-0, 16 KOs) floored Mamadjanov (14-2, 7 KOs) with just seconds left in the first round with a vicious left hook to the stomach followed by a straight right. It was the first time the Uzbekistan native had touched the canvas in his professional career. Benavidez connected with another big left hook to the body one minute into the second, Mamadjanov got up but was clearly unsteady and Russell Mora immediately halted the contest.

 

The Phoenix native connected on 55 τοις εκατό των πυροβολισμών δύναμης του, while Mamadjanov landed just one power punch.

 

I am a little disappointed because I wanted to give the crowd a spectacular knockout,” Benavidez said. “This is my first time fighting at MGM Grand and I will never forget it. The atmosphere here is amazing. This fight week has been the best experience of my life.

 

I want to continue to fight as much as I can. I want to perfect my craft, train as hard as I can and be the best that I can be.

 

Super lightweight prospect Josh Taylor won a hard-fought unanimous decision victory over a game Alfonso Olvera, σκόραρε 79-72, 78-73 δυο φορές, in the opening bout of SHOWTIME BOXING on SHOWTIME EXTREME. Taylor, who entered the bout with a perfect record of 7-0 με επτά knockouts, was extended past the fifth round for the first time in his career.

 

Taylor (8-0, 7 KOs) broke down Olvera (8-3-1, 3 KOs) with a steady diet of body shots, a sharp jab and effective counter punching. Ο 2012 Olympic representative for Scotland landed 57 percent of his power shots and 43 τοις εκατό του συνόλου των γροθιές του, while Olvera connected at just a 17 percent clip.

 

I wasn’t surprised he didn’t go down,” Taylor said. “I wasn’t looking for the knockout. Just wanted to get the win.

 

He was very awkward. I couldn’t get going like I wanted to, but I did get some shots off and felt like I hurt him at times.

 

Taylor’s trainer Shane McGuigan said, “I’m happy with his performance. It wasn’t his best, but he did enough to win. He is young. He is still a novice. I’m looking forward to continuing to see his progress and what he will do moving forward.

 

The fight was promoted by Ringstar Sports in association with Cyclone Promotions and TGB Promotions and was sponsored by Corona La Cerveza Mas Fina.
