Pagpaila sa wala’y pilde nga Heavyweight Sensation James “Ang Mananap nga Mapintas” Wilson
Los Angeles, SAMA. (Nobyembre 8, 2018) – Sa panahon diin ang bug-at nga timbang nga boksing usa na usab ka init nga pagkabahin. Ang pangutana gipangutana pa, kinsa ang sunod nga Mike Tyson sama sa knockout artist? O ang mga sports sama sa football ug basketball gikuha ang labing kaayo nga dagko nga mga lalaki gikan sa boksing?
Sulud si James “Ang Mananap nga Mapintas” Wilson.
Si Wilson adunay tanan nga mga kinaiya sa gihisgutan nga mga kalidad. Usa ka makalilisang nga atleta, nga naa sa usa ka kampo sa pagbansay sa NFL nga adunay background sa away nga nagpakita sa mabangis nga kusog.
Wilson, nga nagpirma lang sa Golden Boy Promotions, adunay usa ka rekord sa 8-0 uban sa pito ka knockouts, apan nagsugod ang iyang istorya 20 tuig na ang milabay sa kadalanan sa Los Angeles.
Si Wilson nag-agi sa mga malisud nga panahon ug wala’y balay taliwala sa mga edad sa 13 ug 15, diin siya natulog sa mga motel, mga bangko sa parke, ug pag-shower sa mga parke. Si Wilson adunay pagkiskis sa balaod, ug kana nakapausab sa iyang kinabuhi….alang sa labing maayo.
“Gi-lock ko dayon gibutang sa usa ka grupo. Sa tinuud nakuha ako nga adunay istraktura ug gibutang ako sa husto nga agianan. Maayo ang akong pag-eskuyla ug nagsugod sa pagdula og sports ug karon adunay positibo nga mga kapilian sa akong kinabuhi,” Miingon si Wilson.
Si Wilson nahimong Los Angeles Times High School Football Player sa tuig, ingon man usa ka tulo ka oras nga Track sa tanan nga lungsod & Atleta sa uma, nga nakakuha kaniya usa ka iskolarship sa Concord University sa West Virginia.
Wilson, nga nigradwar nga adunay degree sa sosyolohiya, unya nagpadayon sa pagdula propesyonal nga football sa tanan nga mga lugar, Poland.
Pagkahuman niini nakakuha siya usa ka pagdapit sa kampo sa pagbansay kauban ang mga Chicago Bears. Hinuon gipili niya ang pagsunod sa lain pang hilig sa atletiko.
“Gisugdan nako ang paghimo sa Kenpo-Karate, Muay-Thai ug Kickboxing.” Si Wilson adunay usa ka propesyonal nga rekord sa Kickboxing sa 16-2-1 diin siya nakigkompetensya sa mga nag-una nga organisasyon sama sa K-1 ug Glory.
Human nga, Gisulayan ni Wilson ang iyang kamut sa MMA ug gipakita ang usa ka impresibo 5-2 nagtala ug nakig-away alang sa labing gitamud nga Bellator Fighting Championships.
Wala pa matagbaw, Gisugdan ni Wilson ang boksing.
Gibiyahe usab ni Wilson ang kalibutan ug gisugdan ang iyang pagsuntok alang sa karera sa suweldo sa New Zealand.
“Adunay akong kaila nga tigpasiugda sa New Zealand, ug naka away ko kada semana didto. Kini ang nagpadali sa akong proseso ug pag-uswag. Nibalik ko sa Los Angeles, ug nakakuha og upat pa nga daog.”
Sa 7-0, Nakilala dayon ni Wilson ang dugay nang magdudula sa industriya sa boksing, Jared Shaw.
Nakita ni Shaw ang mga video ni Wilson sa iyang Instagram account, ug naabut ang wala’y pilde nga bug-at nga timbang.
“Gikontak ako ni Jared, ug nagkita sa gym, ug siya adunay parehas nga panan-awon alang kanako nga nakita ko, ug ang nahabilin mao ang kasaysayan.”
“Nakita ko si James ingon usa ka brilyante sa gubot,” Miingon si Shaw. “Adunay siya ang kombinasyon ug katulin ug kusog nga dili nimo makita sa dibisyon sa gibug-aton sa timbang. Anaa kana kaniya “kini” hinungdan nga akong nakita sa Kimbo Slice. Swerte ako nga gipirmahan ko si Kailo sa mga away nga nakita sa Youtube. Pagsulod ni Kailo sa usa ka kuwarto, gibati nimo ang presensya ug kusog. Nakita ko ang daghang parehas nga mga hiyas sa mga termino nga si James ang ingon nga usa ka matang sa usa ka atraksyon. Bisan kinsa nga masayup nga si James alang sa usa ka magdudula sa football o usa ka Mixed Martial Artist siguradong adunay mga kamot nga puno sa singsing sa boksing. Kini usa ka atleta nga blue-chip, ” Miingon si Shaw, nga nagdako sa isport ingon ang iyang amahan nga si Gary Shaw usa sa mga nag-una nga tigpasiugda sa kalibutan sa miaging tulo ka dekada.
Ang 1st job ni Shaw mao ang pagkuha sa husto nga trainer ni James. Pagsulud sa Justin Fortune.
“Dugay na nakong nakaila si Justin. Parehas ingon usa ka coach sa kusog ug pagkondisyon ug ingon usa ka tigbansay. Ang kadaghanan makaila kaniya sa kiliran ni Manny Pacquiao, apan tingali kadaghanan sa mga tawo wala mahibal-an nga si Justin usa ka mabug-at nga paglaum nga nakig-away ni Lennox Lewis. Ang labi nakong gusto sa kini nga pagpares mao si Justin nga usa usab ka mubo nga gibug-aton sa timbang usab, apan usa ka kusgan nga puncher. Ang iyang katuigan nga kasinatian mao ang makatabang sa James nga mapadali ang iyang pagtubo sa isport. Ingon usa ka tem, kita adunay usa ka tumong nga ibalik ang usa ka kampiyonato sa kalibutan balik sa Los Angeles ug sa angay nga panahon,” nagpadayon si Shaw.
Ang sunod nga lakang ni Shaw mao ang pagpangita sa husto nga tigpasiugda nga pirmahan ni Wilson, ug ang duo nakit-an ang usa sa labing kadaghan nga mga kompanya sa kalibutan nga interesado.
“Daghang mga nagpasiugda ang nagtan-aw kanako. Nakigkita ko kay Golden Boy, ug nakita nila ang akong talento ug panan-aw ug akong gibati nga himuon nila kini alang kanako, ug dad-a ako sa kampeonato nga Heavyweight sa kalibutan,” Miingon si Wilson.
Giasoy ni Shaw ang kaminyoon tali sa fighter ug tigpasiugda.
“Kini ang hingpit nga kahimtang. Ang Golden Boy Promotions usa sa mga nanguna sa among isport bahin sa mga kompanya sa promosyon. Sa kini nga kahimtang, nagtrabaho nga adunay ka usa ka maayong paglaum gikan sa Los Angeles nga nakig-away gikan sa usa ka bantog nga kompanya sa kalibutan nga nakabase sa Los Angeles. Karon pa si Golden Boy naa sa taas sa isport. Gipasiugda nila ang labing maayong manlalaban sa kalibutan sa Canelo Alvarez, ug nakagpasalig sila kaniya sa usa ka wala pa hitabo nga pakigsabot sa DAZN. Gipaabut namon ang mga oportunidad nga moabut alang ni James, ug aron ipakita si James’ talagsaon nga hugpong sa mga kahanas. Naa nako ang 100% pagsalig kang Oscar (De La Hoya), Eric (Gomez) ug Robert (Diaz) aron madala si James sa kampiyonato sa Heavyweight sa kalibutan, ug makatabang nga mapadako ang iyang potensyal nga kita. Wala pa’y kampiyon sa Heavyweight ang Los Angeles, busa kini adunay hingpit nga kahulugan nga ang ika-1 nga kauban ang usa ka kompleto nga koponan nga nakabase sa Los Angeles kauban si James, Justin, Kami ni Golden Boy. ”
“Ang gusto nako nga mahibal-an sa mga tawo bahin kang James mao ang sulud sa mga lubid, siya usa ka Beast and Human Highlight Film, busa Ayaw Blink. Apan sa gawas sa singsing, siya usa ka dili katuohan nga amahan sa iyang tulo ka mga lalaki. Usa ka hilabihang kadasig nga mamumulong, ug usa ka positibo nga sulondan sa sulud nga mga syudad ug sa nahabilin sa kalibutan. Dako siya sa komunidad ug makatabang sa mga kabatan-onan. Labi na ang mga gi-bully.”
Gisulti ni Wilson ang daghang mga bata bahin sa Anti-Bullying. “Naghimo ako daghang pagsulti ug mga seminar alang sa kontra-bullying. Nag-adtoan ako sa daghang mga eskuylahan ug nag-atiman sa mga balay ug gisuginlan ko sila sa akong istorya. Sa akong hunahuna mahimo ako nga usa ka tawo alang sa mga bata nga gipangita ug ipahibalo kanila nga sila adunay kaugmaon bisan kung unsa man ang ilang kahimtang. Gisultihan ko ang mga bata nga ang imong mga kamot hinagiban, ang imong baba hinagiban, ug ang lugar ra alang sa away naa sa sulud sa usa ka singsing.”
Kung gipangutana kung kinsa ang gusto niya nga away ug kung unsa ang iyang mga katuyoan sa sport, Miingon si Wilson, “Wala ako nagtinguha nga away ang bisan kinsa nga piho nga indibidwal, Nagtinguha ako nga awayon silang tanan. Labing importante, Ania ako aron hatagan ang mga fans us aka tan-awon. Kini mao ang 365 adlaw sa “Mananap” panahon. Kini nga Beast Mode o Wala’y Mode.”

Ortiz fared much better in the second encounter but again succumbed to Liddell via referee stoppage TKO.
Tito Ortiz returns to the cage after a submission win over Chael Sonnen back in January 2017 to fight for redemption against his longtime rival Chuck Liddell. Liddell, coming out of retirement, is fighting to make it a perfect 3-0 over the “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” and to close the door on a feud that has spanned more than a decade. With a rivalry this intense and emotions still running high, this trilogy fight has fighters and fans from multiple generations excited to see the final chapter of one of the biggest rivalries of all time!

THERE’S NO BETTER WAY TO CELEBRATE MEXICO’S INDEPENDENCE DAY THAN TO HAVE TWO MEXICANS DO BATTLE; ROBERTO GARCIA CALLS OUT JAIME MUNGUIA—“LET’S GET IT ON”
Deerfield Beach, FL (Hulyo 25, 2018)—Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin’s rematch is all set for Mexican Independence Day on September 15th sa Las Vegas, but what better way to add a little war to the card than having two Mexicans do battle.
Roberto Garcia just witnessed Jaime Munguia’s unanimous decision over Liam Smith on Saturday night and if Munguia is ready to return to the ring on September 15th, Garcia is ready as well.
“What better way to celebrate Mexican Independence Day than to have two Mexican’s do battle,” ni Garcia. “We are both warriors. One veteran taking on one youngster. We both come to fight. Let’s get it on.”
Garcia is thankful to Zanfer Promotions (Munguia’s co-promoter with Golden Boy) for giving him his career defining fight against Julio Cesar Chavez’s son, Omar Chavez.
Garcia won that fight on Aug. 12, 2017 in a 10-round unanimous decision to win the WBC Silver Middleweight title.
Garcia lost his title in his first defense after traveling to England and losing a unanimous 12-round decision to Martin Murray on June 23, 2018.
“Two warriors doing battle, “Thunder vs Lightning” , both fighters coming forward all night , I’ll KO the “Kid” somewhere late in the fight or I win by unanimous decision.”
No doubt the fight would be epic.

Gary Russell Jr. vs. Si Joseph Diaz Jr.. Kataposang Press Conference Quotes & Litrato
|
|
NATIONAL HARBOR, MD. (Mayo 17, 2018) – WBC featherweight World Champion Gary Russell Jr. and unbeaten top contender Si Jose “JoJo” Diaz Jr.. went face-to-face Thursday at the final press conference two days before they enter the ring May 19 nagpuyo sa Showtime (10:05 sa gabii. ET / PT) in the main event from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.
The battle between the 2008 U.S. Olympian Russell Jr. ug ang mga 2012 U.S. Olympian Diaz Jr. is part of a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that will feature WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Adonis Stevenson defending his title against two-division world champion Badou Jack in a main event from Toronto.
Ang mga tiket alang sa maong kalihokan, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Golden Boy Promotions, are on sale now and are available by visitinghttp://mgmnationalharbor.com/.
Both fighters were joined on stage by their fathers who also train them, with Gary Russell Sr. and Joseph Diaz Sr. sitting by their sons ahead of Saturday’s matchup. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from MGM National Harbor:
GARY RUSSELL JR.
“We’re 120 percent ready for fight night. We’re hungry. As long as I have this strap, nobody is walking in here and taking it. I know Diaz is going to bring his best to the table, but we’re ready. The strap is staying at home.
“Me and my little brothers Gary Antuanne and Gary Antonio are on the undercard and they’re going to show the work they’ve been doing. Our dad’s birthday is the day after the fight so you know we have to make it special for him.
“It’s cool that both me and ‘JoJo’ are trained by our fathers. Because at the end of the day, when you look at your coach, that’s your last line of defense. When everything else goes wrong, you have to go the corner. You have to have a level of trust and belief in your corner, so who better to have than a parent there?
“It’s difficult for me to know if ‘JoJo’ is my toughest opponent since Vasyl Lomachenko because I never train with a lot of worry about my opponents. I think that the biggest thing is preparing myself to the best of my ability and being the best that I can possibly be.
“I believe in my ability to make the necessary adjustments, no matter what my opponent brings to the ring. If he wants to come in and box, we are equally as comfortable boxing long ranged as we are making the fight rugged. In order to be great at anything, you have to have a level of versatility. That’s something I bring to the table that a lot of fighters don’t bring.
“Diaz worked his way up the ranks to get this fight. He did everything you have to do to get in position to fight for a world title. He’s already mentioned that I’m the best fighter in the division and he knows that all the other champions in the division are afraid to step up and compete against me.
“Any fighter who has two months or more to prepare for one opponent is definitely dangerous. We never overlook anyone. I believe in my hand speed, my punching power, my ring generalship and in my ability to make adjustments.
“If we can get through this bout, I would love to get in the ring and unify with any of the other featherweight champions. The timing is perfect right now for any of these unification fights. If they still don’t want it, I’m willing to move up in weight to meet any of the guys who have a name. It’s time to make it happen.
“I take my hat off to him and to his team for having the guts to step into the ring. There are only certain people who can be made for this sport and it speaks volumes about him as an individual. I don’t expect anything less than a worthy opponent.
“It’s a pleasure being here for this fight right near my hometown. We had a very long training camp and everything is feeling good heading into the fight.”
JOSEPH DIAZ JR.
“It’s right here and around the corner. I’m very excited for the moment to be here. I’ve been waiting for this my whole entire life and I’m not going to take anything for granted. I trained extremely hard for this fight.
“I absolutely think Gary is overlooking me. I think he underestimated me. I’ve trained for this my whole entire life. This opportunity has been presented to me by my hard work and it’s really the opportunity of a lifetime. I can’t wait to show everybody my skills and what I’m truly about.
“Kini sa tanan mahitungod sa tayming. Gary has the fastest hands in boxing but we’ve watched a lot of tape and we see a lot of flaws. Every fighter has flaws. We’re just going to capitalize on what we see and take full advantage on Saturday night.
“I don’t think Gary having not fought since last year will be any kind of advantage. Gusto ko nga Gary Russell Jr.. to be at his best come fight night. I know that I’m at my best and the best man should win on fight night. There shouldn’t be any excuses after this fight and after I win the title.
“I believe after I win this title on Saturday night that I’ll be on top of the throne in the featherweight division. Hopefully I can get some big fights soon after that.
“I’m prepared for everything he’s going to offer. He’s going to come out and box a little bit and look to use his jab, create angles and use his speed to keep me out of range. It’s going to come to the point where he’s not going to want to move as much and he’ll starting fighting on the inside. That’s where I want to be. We’re going to deliver some great blows and may the best man win.
“I know what Gary Russell Jr. brings to the table. I know he’s the toughest fighter in the division but I’m ready to go out there and bring back the WBC title. I’m ready to fight the best and unify all the titles.
“It’s going to be fireworks on Saturday night. I’ve had a perfect training camp and I’m on weight. Everything feels great and I can’t wait to step into the ring.
“I’m ready for anything. If it stops early or goes the distance, I’m going to keep pushing each round more than the last.
“It would mean everything to win this world title. Not just for myself, but for my whole family. All the hard work and struggles that we’ve been through, it’s finally here. I’m going to do everything I can to come out victorious. Our lives are going to change and I’m going to inspire the youth and the people around me. I want people to know that if you put your mind to it, anything is possible.”
Gary RUSSELL SR., Russell’s Father & Trainer
“The reason for the inactivity is just politics. We always have the intention on fighting but we want to find the best opponent for Gary. ‘JoJo’ is the mandatory so we’re going to fight him and after we get this win, we’re looking at Leo Santa Cruz, Abner Mares, Carl Frampton. We want to unify.
“Before Gary retires from the sport, he’ll move up and do whatever it takes to get a rematch with Lomachenko.
“We like to say that this is just Gary’s occupation. He gets paid to fight and he’s able to support his family because of that. All of the accolades don’t really mean anything to him or to us. The WBC belt is definitely the most prestigious, but like Gary said, we’re not really into the little trinkets. He would take it to the pawn shop if he could. We’re not really into those type of accolades. We just want to conduct ourselves as gentlemen, set an example and get paid.”
JOSEPH DIAZ SR., Diaz’s Father & Trainer
“It’s a blessing to be in this position. I really believe that god didn’t bring us this far only to bring us this far. I really think the journey is going to continue. I’m very proud of my son. He has worked really hard and has shown a lot of will and determination. It means the world to me that he’s pursuing his career and is doing something that he loves doing.
“It’s exciting to finally have a fight on the east coast. It’s beautiful out here. Joseph has been wanting to fight out here and now he has that opportunity to meet some of the fans he has out here that he hasn’t had the chance to meet.
“Russell Jr. is a fast fighter. He’s skilled and he’s smart in there. We’ve been working on Joseph’s timing. Joseph’s a little deceiving because he kind of moves a little slow but he’s actually much faster than people think he is. The speed of Russell doesn’t affect us at all. Joseph has sparred and fought fast fighters especially in the amateurs.
“The plan is to go in there and beat Gary Russell up. And we’re hoping this win sets up bigger and better fights with the Santa Cruz and the Selby’s of the world. All of the champions. We’re hoping to get some of those opportunities because it will bring a lot of attention to the boxing world. Joseph will be a very good ambassador for the sport of boxing.”
Esteban Espinoza, President Sports & Events Programming, Showtime Network Inc.
“We’re thrilled to be here at MGM National Harbor. MGM is an incredible brand that means a lot in boxing. It is a brand that is known throughout the sport at the highest level and we appreciate the entire MGM organization and their support for the sport.
“Gary Russell Jr. vs. ‘JoJo’ Diaz which is an outstanding matchup. Gary is without questions one of the most skilled-if not the most skilled fighter in any division. He’s known for having the fastest hands in the sport. ‘JoJo’ Diaz is a young rising star who I’ve known personally since he turned pro. These are two action fighters. They’re fan-friendly fighters who will deliver an action packed night.
“It’s been an interesting couple of weeks in boxing. A lot of announcements, new ventures and big promises. But here at SHOWTIME we just keep doing what we’ve been doing, and what we’ve been doing is delivering the best fighters, the biggest fights, week after week and month after month.
“SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING is the home of more world champions and more world championship fights than anywhere on any other network. Speaking of title fights, we’re going to have three of them, from three different countries. Sa 5 sa gabii. ETstreaming on the SHOWTIME Facebook and Social Media platforms, we have IBF Featherweight Champion Lee Selby against challenger Josh Warrington. Sa 10:05 sa gabii. UG, we will have Russell Jr. vs. Diaz Jr.. for the WBC Featherweight title, and immediately following that we’ll take you to Toronto for a light heavyweight world title fight between Adonis Stevenson and Badou Jack.
“All six of these fighters competing in Saturday’s world title fights are ranked in the top 10 of their division and have a combined record of 157 wins with only four losses.”
PETE BRASCIA, Senior VP of Marketing & Operations, MGM National Harbor
“We’re very excited to welcome these fighters and everyone involved in this event, back to MGM National Harbor. One year ago I was on a similar stage as we prepared for Gary Russell Jr. to defend his world title, and he did not disappoint his fans.
“The fans here in Prince George’s County and the whole region love a good show and a good fight. They love it even more when they can root on their hometown hero. Sabado sa gabii, nga walay lain-laing mga.
“This will be an incredible show between Gary Russell Jr. and the undefeated Olympian ‘JoJo’ Diaz. I’m hoping for good weather Saturday night, but I’m certain we’re going to get a good show.”
