MASHANTUCKET, CT (Hunyo 4, 2017) – Ang katingad-an nga pagbalik sa Matt “Hait nga Tigpamusil” Remillard nagpadayon kagabii samtang ang sikat nga lightweight sa Connecticut nahunong Fatiou Fassinou sa Broadway Boxing headliner nga gihimo sa Fox Theatre, sa Foxwoods Resort Casino, sa Mashantucket, CT.
Ang Broadway Boxing Ang serye gipasiugda sa DiBella Entertainment ug gipresentar sa Nissan of Queens, Mga Pagbantay sa Azad, OPTYX, ug Christos Steak House.
Remillard, 30, mao ang No.. 2-adunay ranggo nga featherweight sa kalibutan sa 2011, sa dihang napildi siya sa umaabot nga kampeon sa kalibutan Mikey Garcia (LRTD11). Nakig-away gikan sa Manchester, CT, Ang away karong gabii mao ang una ni Remillard sa iyang estado nga natapos sa unom ka tuig ug tunga, tungod sa iyang pagsilbi sa lima ka tuig nga sentensya sa pagkabilanggo. Mibalik siya sa ring kaniadtong miaging Abril, pagkuha usa ka walo ka hugna nga desisyon gikan Augustine Mauras, sa Worcester, MA.
Sa opening round, Remillard (25-1, 14 KOs) ug ang madanihon nga lumad nga Benin, kanhi kampeyon sa WBC International Silver nga si Fassinou (27-6-3, 14 KOs) Nagkaila ang usag usa ingon nga mabinantayon ang parehas nga mga manggugubat. Gibuksan ni Remillard sa ikaduhang hugna, gamit ang iyang wala sa lawas, ihulog si Fassinou sa iyang kanto sa katapusang segundo. Gipilit ni Remillard ang aksyon sa ikatulo, peppering Fassinou sa palibot sa singsing sa iyang pamilyar nga istilo sa pagsilot, pagbutang Fassinou sa iyang “Hait nga Tigpamusil” mga talan-awon alang sa target nga praktis sa ikaupat. Si Fassinou napakyas sa pagtubag sa kampana alang sa ikalimang hugna.
“Batok sa usa ka southernpaw, ang wala nga kawit sa atay naa didto, usa ka suntok nga akong nailhan,” Nagkomento si Remillard pagkahuman sa away. “Siya usa ka gamay nga sloppier kaysa sa akong gilauman. Mibati ko og maayo; Ako 24/7 sa gym. Tingali adunay pa ako usa ka away karong tuiga aron makuha ang pila nga mga hugna, ug unya pag-andam alang sa usa ka dako 2018. Gusto nako og rematch si Garcia, sa 135 o 140 libra, 100-porsyento. Utang ko niya og rematch. Ang lalaki nga gibunalan niya dili ako.”
Ruslan Shamalov (L) & Si George Arias mibalik sa Fight of the Night
Sa co-bahin, duha nga gibug-aton sa New York City, 6’5″ Russian nga Ruslan Shamalov (4-1, 3 KOs) ug Dominican “Lalaki” George arias (7-0, 3 KOs), nakig-away gikan sa Brooklyn ug sa Bronx, sa tinagsa, gibutang ang ilang wala’y pilde nga mga rekord sa linya. Ang kusog nga mga pagsuntok sa kuryente ni Shamalov nag-uyog sa labi ka mubo nga 5'11” Arias sa unang hugna, apan si Arias nagpugong sa mga lubid ug labing maayo nga nakaboksing sa ikaduha. Nagbayloay ang mga bomba og bomba sa tibuuk nga ikatulong hugna ug, bisan unsaon, ang ikaupat labi ka maayo sa pabalik-balik, dili paghunong nga aksyon. Ang lakang mikunhod gamay sa ikalima nga hugna, pagtakda sa entablado alang sa usa ka bomba nga wala sa ikaunom ug katapusan nga bayanan nga wala makapakyas.
Nagpakig-away sila Shamalov ug Arias, labi na sa mga heavyweights, sa usa ka lehitimo nga unom ka hugna “Fight sa Tuig” kandidato. Arias, ang pinuno sa Team Wash Em’ Didto sa Bronx, Nagdaog sa us aka unom ka hugna nga unanimous decision pinaagi sa daghang puntos 60-54, 59-55, ug 58-56.
“Kini nga kadaugan nakapahiuyon sa akon,” Miingon ang usa ka labi nga nalipay nga Arias, pagkahuman sa una niyang unom ka hugna nga away. “Naa koy plano sa dula, pero kausa gipasakitan niya ako sa unang hugna, akong kasingkasing ang mipuli ug nakig-away ra ko. Gusto nakong makig-away alang sa mga tawo, busa akong gikuptan ang una imbis nga magduko.”
Mykquan Williams (R) sayo nga nagsaulog sa iyang graduation sa high school
Paborito sa kadaghanan “Kahibulongan” Mykquan Williams (7-0, 4 KOs) Gihatagan ang iyang kaugalingon usa ka sayo nga graduation sa high school samtang gipilde sa East Hartford fighter ang Nicaraguan welterweight Ariel “Gubat” Vasquez (13-18-2, 9 KOs) sa una nga unom ka hugna nga away. Ang 19-anyos nga si Williams, usa ka lima ka beses nga nasudnon nga kampyon sa amateur, us aka bituon nga nagtubo nga adunay tumang pagtaas. Naabut lapas sa iyang katuigan, Gikontrol ni Williams ang lakang kontra sa iyang gisulayan nga panagsangka sa Southpaw, nga mao ang 11 tuig Williams’ senior, nagpakita sa iyang daghang arsenal sa mga suntok, labi na ang iyang wala ug tuo nga kombinasyon nga kanunay modunggo. Williams’ ang dali nga mga kamot mibuto sa unang higayon sa pagtapos sa ikaduhang hugna, Unya gikuha niya ang iyang pag-atake sa ikatulo, sa iyang pagbiyahe sa usa ka unom ka hugna nga desisyon sa shutout, nga adunay tulo nga mga taas nga 60-54.
Nagtapos si Williams sa Hunyo 20 gikan sa Prince Tech. “Maayo kana nga presentasyon sa pagtapos,” Williams miingon. “Ang akong kadali sa kamut nagdula usa ka dako nga hinungdan. Siya usa ka malisud nga tawo, labi na sa una nakong unom nga round.”
Jennifer salinas (R) daghan kaayo alang kang Marquita Lee
featherweight champion Jennifer “Ang Bolivia nga Rayna” Salinas (20-4, 5 KOs) napildi Marquita Lee (3-5) pinaagi sa usa ka malisud nga giaway nga unom ka hugna nga nagkahiusa nga desisyon. Salinas, away gikan sa Providence, ang nang-agaw sa tibuuk, apan si Lee wala gyud mohimo usa ka paatras nga lakang. Mga scorecard 59-55 kaduha, ug 58-56, tanan para kay Salinas.

Gibiyaan ni Radzhab Butaev si Abraham Alvarez sa banig nga adunay grabe nga kasakit
Wala’y pilde nga prospek sa middleweight sa Russia Radzhab “Ang Python” Butaev (6-0, 4 KOs) sobra ra kaayo alang sa Mexico Abraham “Ang matulin” Alvarez (20-11-1, 11 KOs). Sayo nga gihulog ni Butaev si Alvarez gamit ang usa ka daotan nga left hook, nga gikan niini wala gyud hingpit nga makabawi si Alvarez. Usa ka brutal nga tuo sa atay nga gibutang usab ang banig sa Mexico, sa klaro nga kasakit, ingon referee Joey Lupino gilayon nga gitabyog ang away sa 1:05 sa round sa usa ka.
Cuban cruiserweight Luis “Ang leon” Garcia (15-0, 12 KOs) gitago ang iyang perpekto nga rekord sa pro nga adunay first-round knockout sa iyang labaw nga kaatbang nga Mehikano Felipe Romero (19-14-1, 13 KOs), nakig-away gikan sa San Diego. Karon nagpuyo sa Peekskill, NY, Gipahulog ni Garcia si Romero pinaagi sa usa ka overhand nga tuo sa nagbukas nga segundo ug wala gyud siya mohawa, Kanunay nga gisakitan si Romero sa usa ka serye sa mga naguba nga mga katungod.

Tulo ka higayon nga miyembro sa koponan sa Puerto Rican National Boxing Jose sa Roma (4-0, 3 KOs) milakaw sa layo sa unang higayon kontra sa usa ka dula William Hill (2-3), sa Detroit. Ang hanas nga Puerto Rican nga super welterweight nagbutang presyon gikan sa nagbukas nga kampana, gamit ang usa ka mabangis nga pag-atake sa lawas sa Hill, kinsa nakulong sa lubid alang sa kadaghanan sa away. Nagtaas ang mga hukom 40-36 kaduha, ug 39-37, tanan alang kang Roman pinaagi sa unanimous decision.

Gipugos ni Rosa ang iyang kontra sa tibuuk nga indigay, gisul-ob siya sa usa ka padayon nga pag-atake sa lawas. Si Osorio nagdula ug adunay gahi nga jab, bisan ang mga kombinasyon sa paborito nga gigikanan sa sulud nakatabang sa pagminus sa output sa suntok sa Nicaraguan.
