TOP NORTH CAROLINA TALENT TO HEADLINE THURSDAY NIGHT FIGHTS IN DURHAM

Tickets are on sale now for the October 19th card, which features tough, local match-ups

DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINAAugust 25, 2017Raging Babe and Hall of Fame Matchmaker Russell Peltz have assembled what could be the best card North Carolina has seen this year. Sa diha nga “Raging Babe” Michelle Rosado first stepped foot into North Carolina, she did so with intent and purpose. North Carolina has, for too long, been seen as a place where fighters can go pad their records. Rosado was committed to changing that, and the newly minted Promoter plans on delivering on that commitment when she presents Huwebes Night away sa October 19th sa Durham Armory.

The main event is a local match-up, thick with bad blood. MarkoThe Bull City Bully” Bailey (5-0, 3KO) faces off against Charlotte’s StevieThe AnswerMassey (4-1, 4KO). in a six-round bout that has been brewing since both fighters were in the amateur ranks. The behind-closed-doors trash talk that both fighters have partaken in over the past few years has spilled over onto social media, and will now culminate in North Carolina State Championship bout onOctober 19th. “He runs his mouth too much,” said Bailey of his opponent. “This is personal. I want to beat the sout of him. I have waited a long time to get my hands on this guy, and I’m going to break him down over six rounds. I’m going to make him look bad.This is Bailey’s first six round bout, and he enters camp with the words of Undisputed Super Lightweight Champion Terence Crawford in his mind. “I spent some time with Bud last weekend. He told me that even when you’re struggling, and times get hard, you gotta fight through it no matter what. No excuses.Bailey is training three hours from home with his head coach Don Turner. “It’s not easy work, training hours each day on a farm with only work, rest and corn.Said Rosado of Bailey’s camp. Bailey isn’t deterred. “You gotta fight through adversity. That’s what makes champions. That’s what shows what you’re made of,” said the young fighter.

Massey plans on letting his fists do the talking. “I don’t back down from nobody,” said Massey of the match-up. “We should have fought in the amateurs, but it didn’t happen, and now it’s time.The 24-year old featherweight is moving up in weight to fight Bailey, and Bailey is moving down. They are meeting in the middle at 132 lbs. Massey is coming off his first loss, a tough unanimous decision to Reggie Barnett Jr. Many fighters would take an easier touch after a loss, but that’s not the way Massey is built. “The loss gave me that hunger back. He better strap up because October 19th, I’m coming.

It is the kind of matchup that Rosado and Peltz like best. “Listen, Michelle is a go- getter, she’s aggressive,” said Peltz. “She buys into the local match-ups theory. There’s nothing wrong with boxing that good fights won’t help. Michelle understands that. You have to make competitive fights. If you can make them at the local level without TV, it’s only going to help boxing in the long run. We’re trying change culture in NC. Anytime you get two local kids to fight each other in the 21st century, it’s a big deal.

Sa co-main event, two undefeated, local Durham fighters step up to face each other in a six round bout at Junior Middleweight. si Joseph Jackson (8-0, 6KO) kwadro sa batok sa MonrecoKing ReekGoldston (5-0-1, 3KO), with both fighters putting their ‘O’ sa ibabaw sa mga linya. It will be Goldston’s first bout in over a year, after having scored a majority draw with Virginia’s Robert Sweeney in May 2016. The bout will be Jackson’s fourth this year. He is coming off a knockout win over Darryol Humphrey last Saturday, August 19th.

Usab sa ibabaw sa mga card, Carlos Olmeda (2-0, 2KO) faces a very tough opponent in New York brawler Vinnie Denierio (1-2, 1KO). It isn’t the first time the 5’10Southpaw Denierio has fought in the Bull City. He faced Marko Bailey there in April, before rematching him in June in Philadelphia. Both bouts earned standing ovations from the crowd. Olmeda isn’t the type to back down, despite being the smaller of the two fighters, plans to give the New Yorker all he can handle.

The remainder of the card is stacked with some of North Carolina’s most promising talent. Undefeated Junior Middleweight Donnie Marshall (5-0, 4KO) makes an appearance on the card, alongside Super Middleweight prospect Blake “Ang KO Hari” Mansfield (4-1-1, 2KO) , and Raleigh Heavyweight Nate Williams (1-0, 1KO). Usab sa ibabaw sa mga card, Hasim Rahman |, Jr. makes his North Carolina debut. The heavyweight is following in his father’s footsteps, and has earned two wins, both by knockout, since his April debut.

The fight card fulfills Rosado’s promise to the fans of North Carolina. “These fighters are not messing around,” said Rosado. “It’s refreshing to work with guys that want to fight.Rosado noted that, to the fighterscredit, the aforementioned match-ups were an easy sell. “They wanted to come and fight for the fans. No outlandish press tours, no pay-per-view, no circus acts, no embarrassing match-ups. Just real boxers fighting real fights, Durham style.

I can’t wait to fight on the same show as my brother with all my loved ones watching. It’s going to be a very big night.
We didn’t get the final word we were doing the Maryland show until a few days ago,” miingon Greg Cohen. “But once we knew it was happening, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to let Hasim Jr. turn pro at home. It just worked out perfectly.

“Ang akong amahan ingon usa ka magtatambag,” nagpadayon siya. “Ang akong amahan mao ra ang tawo nga akong kaila nga tinuud nga adunay gihunahuna nga kaayohan. Bisan kinsa pa nga akong nakigsabot, kanunay kini moabut sa salapi sa katapusan sa adlaw. Wala gyud mangayo bisan unsa ang akong amahan kanako. Nahibal-an nako nga nahibal-an niya ang dula ug nahibal-an ko kana sa kaniya sa akong team, ang langit ang kinutuban.”
25-Ang usa ka tuig ang panuigon nga si Rahman nakakuha og labi ka gilauman nga pagsugod sa iyang gipaabut nga karera sa boksing. Paggawas sa iyang malampuson nga 100-away nga pagdagan ingon usa ka amateur, ang buzz naa sa palibot sa 6′ 3″ 250-lb. manlalaban, apan usa ka nakamatay nga aksidente sa awto 2012 nakita siya nga nagserbisyo a 2- hangtod sa 5 ka tuig nga sentensya sa Department of Corrections.
Bag-ohay lang gipagawas ug karon andam na nga magpadayon sa kinabuhi, Gisulti ni Rahman nga ang tibuuk nga kasinatian nagbag-o kaniya alang sa kaayohan. “Kini usa ka magbukas sa mata alang kanako. Ang pag-agi sa kana nagbag-o gyud ang akong karera ug kung unsa ang akong gibati ingon usa ka tawo, ug usa ka anak nga lalake, usa ka amahan, ug usa ka bana. Nabag-ohan ko niini. Mapasalamaton ako nga gipanalanginan ako sa Diyos nga naa sa niining posisyon karon.”
Gisulti ni Rahman nga wala siya mahibal-an bahin sa una nga kontra nga si Imes, apan siya ug ang trainer nga si Kenny Ellis kugihan sa pagtrabaho sa Upton Boxing Center sa Baltimore.
“Mibati ko og dakong. Nabalaka gyud ko, apan ang kakulba wala magsipa. Kini hapit sa oras sa away. Giingon sa akong koponan nga kini maayong pakigbisog alang kanako. Pagkahuman sa duha ug tunga ka tuig, Nagtinguha ako nga makakuha sa pila ka mga hugna.”
Bisan pa sa nalangay nga pagsugod, Ang Team Rahman wala’y plano sa pagdali-dali sa mga butang.
“Gusto ko lang magpadayon nga busy kutob sa akong mahimo ug mahibal-an kutob sa akong mahimo ug makig-away alang sa usa ka titulo sa kalibutan kung andam na ako. Dili ako magdali. Wala’y pagdali. Dili kini ingon nga maghulat ako hangtod sa hangtod. Ipaglaban ko ang titulo kung andam na ako ug nahibal-an ko kung gibutang kini sa trabaho, Andam na ako sa usa ka duha ka tuig. Kana ang katuyoan alang kanako. Kung molungtad ang tulo o upat ka tuig, kini gibuhat. Bisan unsa man ang kahimtang. Ipadayon nako ang pag-ayo sa mga knockout hangtod kini mahinabo.”
Alang kang Rahman, ang desisyon nga sundon ang mga lakang sa iyang bantog nga amahan usa ka makatarunganon.
“Kanunay ako gitudloan nga magplano sa unahan. Sa nagtungha ako sa tungatungang klase, Nag-football gyud ko. Nagdula ko’g higpit, nagdagan balik ug halapad nga tigdawat. Naa koy mga damgo. Apan naabut sa akon kung pila ka mga tawo ang adunay parehas nga damgo nga akong gipangandoy. Pananglitan, adunay usa ka milyon nga batan-ong mga lalaki nga taga-Africa nga gusto nga moadto sa NBA matag tuig. 400,000 sa ila magdula og high school nga basketball. 4000 sa mga magdula sa kolehiyo. 35 paga-draft. Gikan sa nga 35, lamang 7 magsugod na. Kana nagpasabut nga adunay usa ka milyon nga mga tawo nga naninguha nga makuha 7 mga trabaho. Ug ang kasagaran nga karera sa NBA upat ka tuig. Usa kana ka problema. Kinahanglan nga tan-awon sa mga tawo ang ilang mga posibilidad. Gibuhat nako. Busa, Giingon nako nga 'kabalo kung unsa? Imbis nga naa sa niining higante nga linaw sa mga tawo nga naningkamot nga mahimong sunod nga Ray Lewis. Talagsa ako makadagan sa us aka tawo nga gusto mahimong kampeyon sa bug-at nga timbang sa tibuuk kalibutan,’ busa kana ang gihukman ko nga buhaton. Wala’y duo sa amahan ug anak nga nahimong kampiyon sa bug-at nga timbang. Wala gyud kini mahimo. Alang kanako nga naa sa posisyon nga sementohon ang among ngalan sa pamilya sa kasaysayan sa heavyweight nga kampeyon sa kampeonato nakadasig kaayo ug andam ako nga pahimuslan kini sa hingpit.”
Ang pagpirma kauban si Greg Cohen Mga promosyon usa ka dali nga desisyon, suma ni Rahman, kinsa nakaila sa nagpasiugda sa Jersey sa kadaghanan sa iyang kinabuhi.

“Gusto gyud nako nga pasalamatan si Greg Cohen sa higayon nga gihatag niya kanako,” siya miingon. “Nailhan ko si Greg gikan pa sa akong pagkabata ug kanunay siya nga nagtoo kanako. Kanunay niya ako nga gisuportahan ug nagpadayon sa pagkontak ug nagsunod kanako. Adunay siya tinuud nga tinuud nga interes kanako. Nahibal-an na ni Greg nga siya adunay labing kaayo nga bag-ong gibug-aton sa bug-os nga kalibutan. Tinuud nga nakatuon ako sa paghimo kaniya ug sa akong amahan ug sa Lungsod sa Baltimore nga mapahitas-on.”
