Before and After: The Incredible Rebirth of Mikey ‘Baby Face’ Faragon

The incredible rebirth of Albany, New York’s Mikey “Baby Face” Faragon (19-1, 9 KOs) is complete and he will return to action in a six-rounder tonight, Sexta-feira, Agosto 9, at a GCP and Rapacz Boxing show at the Grand Casino in Hinckley, Minnesota against Missouri’s Demetrius Wilson.


Faragon was once a super lightweight prospect touted as one of the most promising young fighters to ever come out of the Capital Region, but a severe foot injury forced him out of boxing five years ago.


During his extended recovery, which included several painful surgeries, 32-year-old Faragon fell into depression and unhealthy living and gained a great deal of weight.


With his mobility now restored, Faragon challenged himself to get back in shape and said he would fight again if he could. Na foto acima, direito, Faragon is back in fighting shape and, against Wilson, will be looking to gauge how much of that immense potential he still has.

Brant Stops Hloros with Body Shot and Defends WBA-NABA Championship in Hinckley

Na Sexta-Feira, Janeiro 20, in front of a standing-room-only crowd of 3000+ at the Grand Casino’s Events & Convention Center in Hinckley, Minnesota, WBA #3-, IBF #13- and WBO #5-rated middleweight contender Rob “Muito Bem” Brant stayed busy and defended his WBA-NABA Middleweight Championship by stopping Detroit’s Alexis Hloros.
With a possible title-shot opportunity on the near horizon, the Saint Paul, Minnesota-based Brant (22-0, 15 KOs) wasted no time in dispatching Hloros at2:33 do primeiro turno. A huge body shot dropped Hloros for a count of nine, but he arose still wincing in pain, and was in no condition to continue.
I was happy with the way the night ended up,” said Brant. “When you get a guy last minute like Alexis Hloros, you have to treat them like they have been training to be the best version of themselves. Overlook them and you can get beat. I feel like I am ready for a bigger name now and am ready to showcase myself at the top level.

Halili (13-1, 13 KOs) kept his KO percentage at 100% by stopping Wichita’s Romon Barber (7-13, 6 KOs) na quinta rodada.
The anvil-fisted Halili landed some bombs early that Barber was able to absorb. Contudo, Halili’s power eventually wore him down. In the fifth, he caught Barber with an uppercut that staggered him backwards into the ropes where he then pounded him relentlessly until the referee stopped the fight. It was a spectacular show of brutal punching power.
I was very impressed with both our fighters tonight,” disse Greg Cohen. “Rob Brant is clearly at the top of his game and ready for a big opportunity. Despite the opponent change on short notice, he handled it the way a future champion should. And Skender Halili continued his run as one of the most exciting punchers in boxing with another fan-friendly win. It was a great event in front of a huge crowd of fans. I am proud to have been able to promote it.

Cruiserweight Howard Ready for ‘The DrillThis Saturday Night in Minnesota

Promoter Greg Cohen says his Atlanta-based cruiserweight BrianThe Bigg RiskHoward will have to be extremely careful when he fights in the main event neste sábado noite (Outubro 1) no Grand Casino Hinckley em, Minnesota.
Howard (11-1, 9 KOs) will face dangerous local veteran PhilThe Drill” Williams (15-8-2, 14 KOs) in a potentially dangerous eight-round showdown.
Williams, a devastating puncher, has run hot and cold his entire career, but can be spectacular at times. He holds the distinction of scoring the fastest knockout in boxing history (10 segundos) over Brandon Burke of Iowa in 2007. vídeo
Able to switch hit from his southpaw stance to orthodox several times during a fight, Williams has also fought to draws with well-known veterans Caleb Truax and Derrick Findley. In his next to last fight, he won the Minnesota State Cruiserweight Championship by stopping then 15-1 Al Sands in one round.
The capable Howard, contudo, took the undefeated record of Maryland-based Alex Guerrero (15-1) in his last fight and has trained hard for this interesting challenge.
He’s ready for another ‘Bigg Risk’,” disse Cohen. “Don’t forget, Brian can punch too. He has prepared for this dangerous challenge and should be ready, even if the best version of Phil Williams shows up no sábado. Brian is a talented fighter and we have all confidence he will prevail.
Na eliminatória, Ryan Watson (2-0-1, 2 KOs), a former nationally ranked amateur boxer from Duluth, MN, who is now one of the top prospects in the cruiserweight division competes. Coming off a highly controversial draw, Watson is stepping up the competition by fighting 5-1-1 Lorenzo Selectmon of St. Joseph, MO.

Super galo invicto Adam Lopez destrói Phillip Adyaka em duas rodadas em Hinckley, Minnesota

Santo António, Texas (Abril 24, 2015)— Última sexta-feira à noite em Hinckley, Minnesota, super galo Adam Lopez marcou uma sensação de paralisação na segunda rodada sobre Phillip Adyaka no Grand Casino.
A luta fez parte da eliminatória off-tv de uma placa de televisão da CBS Sports Network.
Lopez acertou um tiro certeiro na segunda rodada que mandou Adyaka de volta. Adyaka se levantou, mas cambaleou para trás e a luta foi interrompida.
Foi sua segunda paralisação consecutiva da 2ª rodada sob o Banner de Promoções GH3.
“Eu estava tentando acertá-lo com um direito. Eu estava trabalhando o corpo. Eu estava configurando desde a primeira rodada em,” disse López. “Consegui pegá-lo enquanto ele estava saindo.”
Lopez teve apenas quatro interrupções em suas primeiras nove lutas, sempre soube que tinha o poder, mas ele estava lutando contra caras maiores.
“Estou crescendo em meu corpo em 122 libras. Eu sempre soube que tinha poder. Eu comecei em 115 libras lutando contra esses caras naturalmente maiores. Agora que estou andando com um peso maior, Estou lutando com caras do meu tamanho e minhas habilidades e força ficaram evidentes nas últimas lutas.”
Disse Vito Milenicki da GH3 Promotions, “Estamos extremamente satisfeitos com Adam. Quando contratamos ele sabíamos que tínhamos um lutador que estava em alta e com o que ele mostrou em apenas duas lutas conosco, vemos não apenas grandes coisas, mas também grandes oportunidades nos próximos dezoito meses ou mais.”

Hogan Outworks Brunson on CBS Sports Network Night of Boxing


Photos by Jesse Kelley

Australia via Kildare, WBA da Irlanda #12- e IBF # 11-classificado “Furacão” Dennis Hogan (21-0-1, 7 KOs) cruised to an entertaining and workmanlike 10-round decision over Philadelphia’s Tyrone “Young Gun” Brunson (22-5-1, 21 KOs) hoje à noite, no evento principal de “Campeonato de Boxe na CBS Sports Network” at the Grand Casino Hinckley in Hinckley, Minnesota.

Fighting in front of an appreciative sold-out crowd, Hogan outworked the careful Brunson in the majority of rounds to win by scores of 96-94, 98-92 e 97-93 and in the process, picked up the World Boxing Association’s NABA-US Super Welterweight Championship.

Hogan closed the show well and seemed to hurt Brunson with a series of clubbing shots. But Brunson was able to survive the onslaught.

Brunson, who seems to have morphed into a counter puncher since his days as the King of the KO 1 earlier in his career, had a good round eight and seemed to hurt Hogan with a right. He kept it interesting throughout by catching Hogan coming in with right hands.

Apresentado por Greg Cohen Promotions em associação com Cartão de Luta Promoções de Adão Wilcock e produzido pelo vencedor de David Schuster Take All Productions “Campeonato de Boxe na CBS Sports Network” was the debut CBS-televised effort from the promotional team.

Several thudding knockouts punctuated the rest of the night’s action.

In the night’s co-main event, lightweight slugger Ismael Barroso made quick work of Memphis, Tennessee veteran Ira Terry, knocking him out inside of a round.

The southpaw Barroso, de El Tigre, Venezuela, moved his record to 18-0-2, 17 KOs by flattening Terry (agora 26-14, 16 KOs) with a devastating left hand. Barroso’s reputation seems to grow with every frightening performance. Terry tried moving to his left and being elusive, but it only took one shot from Barroso’s cement fists. Referee Mark Nelson began a count when Terry went down, but quickly waved it off at 2:49.

Na abertura televisionado, Saint Paul, Minnesota, middleweight prospect Rob “Muito Bem” Ganso-bravo (15-0, 9 KOs)made surprisingly easy work of Miami via Colombia’s Dionisio Miranda (22-11-2, 19 KOs), dropping him for the full count at 2:40 da segunda rodada.

Brant showed superior quickness while landing his rangy shots form outside. A right hand started the trouble for the normally durable Miranda. The follow-up volley forced Miranda down and he elected, probably wisely, not to rise. The crowd-favorite Brant remains undefeated and now has a KO win over a quality mid-level opponent on his resume.

In what turned out to be a televised swing bout, American heavyweight prospect Jarrell “Big Baby” Moleiro, de Brooklyn, Nova Iorque, moved his impressive record to 12-0-1, 10 KOs by knocking out Nairobi, Kenya’s Raymond “King Kong” Ochieng (26-19-3, 21 KOs) em 1:40of the very first round.

Miller placed his heavy, accurate shots inside the wild swings of the game Ochieng and caught him with a strong combination against the ropes. Ochieng went down and referee Gary Miezwa waved it off without counting, probably prematurely.

mesmo assim, the charismatic Miller looked like a solid prospect taking out a useful veteran in Ochieng, who had gone 10 rounds with Alexander Petkovic in his last fight and handed 36-1 David Rodriguez a TKO 1 loss last July.

Santo António, Texas, super bantamweight AdamMantequilla” Lopez (11-0, 6 KOs) furthered his reputation as an up-and-coming prospect by levelling Saint Paul, Minnesota’s Philip Adyaka (4-5, 2 KOs) with a monstrous left hook at 58 seconds of round two. 24-year-old Lopez was too big and too powerful for the smaller Adyaka. Lopez impressed, showing off his world-class weaponry while banging to the head and body, especially with the left hook. Adyaka bravely tried to rise, but stumbled back into the ropes and the fight was waved off.

In a six-round heavyweight match-up, fan favorite Joey “Minnesota Ice” Um sino (30-8, 29 KOs) of nearby Coon Rapids, Minnesota, started his comeback by stopping journeyman Travis “Homem de Ferro” Fulton (22-39-1, 21 KOs) de Cedar Falls, Iowa in three rounds. Out of the ring for more than a year, the southpaw Abell finally shook off the rust and got through with a volley of punches against the ropes, which badly stunned Fulton. The came at 34 seconds with Fulton dazed but still standing. I’m starting over. I want to get a couple wins and hopefully get a big fight here,” said Abell, pós-luta. Infelizmente, Abell slipped awkwardly in the first round and reportedly suffered a serious ankle injury.

In a four-round, all-Minneapolis super heavyweight showdown to open the night, 316-lb Van “O Homem” Bom homem, agora 4-5-2, 4 KOs, picked up a good win over299-lb Brett Murphy, agora 1-1, 1 KO via TKO 2. Murphy was down in round one and twice more in round two. A tidy left uppercut was the finishing shot. O momento da paralisação foi 1:38.
