Judge Chris Young’s 57-57 tally was overruled by scorecards of 58-56 from both Efrian Lebron and Mike Ross.
Jennings is now 6-5-1 mit 4 victories by way of KO while Resendiz falls to 5-2.

Tampa, FL (Juni 13, 2018) – When unbeaten middleweight Connor Coyle entered the paid ranks, he was considered one of Ireland’s prized prospects. The Derry native medaled at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and generated a lot of interest from promoters across the globe.
Coyle ultimately signed with Tampa, FL based Fire Fist Promotions and five of his seven professional bouts took place in the Tampa region. To ensure he’s at his absolute best when entering the squared circle, Coyle treks more than 4000 miles from Ireland to Tampa for training camp.
While his stateside training camps play an integral role in Coyle’s improvement, it comes with major sacrifices.
“The hardest part is having to get up and leave my little girl for each camp,” Coyle said of training in Tampa while his 2-year-old daughter remains in Ireland. “I’ve been doing this since she was born and it’s hard because she doesn’t understand why.”
Die 7-0 Coyle’s next challenge comes Saturday, Juni 16 when he meets rival Danny Pastrana of Orlando, FL in a ten round contest for the NBA Intercontinental middleweight title at the Coliseum in St Petersburg, FL.
Pastrana has a modest 6-4 Rekord mit 1 KO but has faced good competition. He’s had a full training camp leading up to June 16 and Coyle’s expecting the confident Pastrana to be at his best.
“I’ve put in a full training camp and the work has been done in the gym. Training so far from home is a struggle with my daughter back in Ireland but it also inspires me. I’ll be ready for whatever Danny Pastrana brings Saturday night and plan to return to Ireland with the NBA championship.”
The card is promoted by Fire Fist Promotions in association with Money Round Boxing. A limited number of tickets are available at www1.ticketmaster.com/event/0D00548D9F1C967E.

Boxing Commission Launches Boxer Health & Safety Advisory Website
The British & Irische Boxbehörde (BIBA) today announced the launch of the BIBA Health & Safety Executive website – www.boxbiba.co.uk– that not only covers Health & Safety advice, resources and information for boxers, but also features Mental Health awareness information and resources.
Da 2016 the British & Irish Boxing Authority have strived to improve all aspects of Boxer Health & Safety, including appointing a number of specialists, including renowned sports injury specialist Professor Michael Graham MBChB; PhD; FRSM; BASEM; MICR; MCSFS; PCCMH; APIL Expert; FSB to the BIBA Medical Advisory Board to develop additional Boxer Health and Safety procedures, such as Cognitive Testing both as part of their licensing procedure as well as the post event medical, as well as to head up a team of experts to undertake long term research into Combat Sports related head injuries.
Im März 2017 the British & Irish Boxing Authority were the first commission to introduce Infra-Scanners, a portable infrared brain scanner that can detect signs of bleed to the brains, at events sanctioned by themselves, following a number of serious head injuries within the sport, including the death of Mike Towell in 2016.
Another recent British & Irish Boxing Authority initiative was the introduction in January 2018 of permitting Rehydration drinks in the corner for all contest of eight rounds and over, in an attempt to ensure that boxers remain hydrated in longer contests, which in itself can also reduce the risk of potential swelling or bleeds to the brain.
On announcing the new Health & Safety Executive website BIBA CEO and Executive Vice President Gianluca Di Caro stated;
“Back in February we signed up to the Mental Health Charter for Sport and Recreation and as part of our action plan we decided to create a specific website to raise Mental Health awareness within the sport.
During the discussions with the committee that overseas our Mental Health policies it dawned on me that whilst it is essential that we get the information and resources available on the very important subject of Mental Health, that we should also cover other equally important Health & Safety matters, especially those that may reduce the potential risks of bleeds to the brain as well as take a serious look at the current rules of the sport to improve the Health & Safety of those that compete.
Another factor that led us to decide to create an all-encompassing HSE website was that our leading team of specialists are currently undertaking a long-term research project into head injuries within not just Boxing but all Combat Sports.
Even though we are only a few months into this research project we have already highlighted a number of areas, within the current rules, that need to be seriously looked at and changes made, we will also be highlighting these proposed changes on the new HSE website ahead of lobbying all World and Regional Championship Organisations, the Boxing and Combat Sports Industry Associations as well as other Commissions around the world to try and get these incredibly vital changes to the rules introduced.
Those of us who govern the sport need to consider making much needed changes to the rules now, as well as move with the times and embrace new technology, especially if these can prevent further tragedies, as I believe it is our, the Commissions that Govern the Sport’s responsibility to ensure that the Health & Safety of those that compete is of the highest level possible, not to do so would be dangerous and irresponsible and could even destroy our beloved sport, by basically help in making the case, by our own inaction, for those that want Professional Boxing banned.”
The British & Irische Boxbehörde (BIBA) Health & Safety Executive website – www.boxbiba.co.uk – went live today and will be updated regularly to provide boxers with an unequalled information and resources reference point.

Amateur Boxen: USA gegen Irland New England Tour endet mit einer fantastischen Nacht der Action in Manchester, NH

FOTO-SLIDESHOW (Wenden Sie sich an rich.bergeron@gmail.com, um Fotokopien zu erhalten):
Boxfans packten Mittwochabend das Manchester Downtown Hotel, um eine spektakuläre Nacht des Elite-Amateurboxens zu erleben. Dies war die letzte Station einer Drei-Städte-Tour durch Boston und Springfield, Massachusetts und Manchester, New Hampshire. An den geplanten Kämpfen nahmen Amateure des Team USA teil, die gegen die besten Amateurboxer Irlands antraten. Bei der letzten Glocke, Irland schaffte es, die acht Kämpfe des Abends mit einem Unentschieden zu beenden, ihr bestes Ergebnis der Tour. Das Team USA gewann die ersten beiden Duals der Tour in Boston und Springfield, beziehungsweise, von Partituren von 8-4 und 7-3.
Bei den Kämpfen am Mittwoch ging es nicht nur ums Gewinnen, jedoch. Für die Mehrheit der beteiligten Boxer war es eine großartige Gelegenheit, ihre Techniken zu verfeinern und die dringend benötigte internationale Wettbewerbserfahrung zu sammeln. Einige der besten Künstler am Mittwochabend werden in den kommenden Jahren wahrscheinlich auch ihre jeweiligen Länder vertreten 2020 Olympiade.
Das Hauptereignis der Nacht wurde vorgestellt 2016 Bronzemedaillengewinner der Jugend-Weltmeisterschaft Richard Torrez dominiert den dreifachen irischen Nationalmeister Dean Gardiner. Die gewaltige Größe und die große Reichweite des irischen Kämpfers konnten das schnelle Tempo und die hervorragende Verteidigungshaltung des kürzeren Amerikaners einfach nicht überwinden.
Torrez verbrachte die erste Runde damit, meisterhafte Finten und Schlagrutschen auszuführen, während er mit einigen Bombenhaken traf. Torrez wechselte das Level, benutzte glatte Kopfbewegung, und lassen Sie seinen Fuß nie vom Gas, als Gardiner früh mit einem unausgeglichenen und wilden Ansatz vorwärts trottete. Ein dröhnender Körperschuss verband sich für den Iren im ersten, aber sonst nicht viel.
Torrez hielt die schnelle Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit im nächsten Frame aufrecht, Lösen Sie die linken und rechten Haken und landen Sie sauber durch einen Großteil der Runde. Er traf leicht auf Körper und Kopf, Während eines Großteils der Runde vertuschte sich sein Gegner und wartete auf Eröffnungen. Eine Straße links von Torrez ließ seinen Gegner für einen Moment taumeln, aber der größere Mann erholte sich und landete einen phänomenalen linken Haken am Kopf von Torrez, als er gegen die Seile kämpfte. Gardiner versuchte, meistens gerade Schläge nach außen zu landen, und schien nicht in der Lage zu sein, seine Schläge aus nächster Nähe umzudrehen.
In der dritten Runde schlugen beide Kämpfer bis zur letzten Glocke mit einem der wildesten Hin- und Her-Austausche der Nacht, aber für Gardiner war es zu wenig und zu spät. Er konnte seine Reichweite einfach nicht einwählen. Torrez überholte seinen Gegner gerade noch einmal und landete ein paar glatte Oberschnitte, um mit seinen donnernden rechten und linken Haken zu gehen. Er benutzte den Stoß sparsam, aber effektiv, einen Großteil des letzten Rahmens damit verbringen, auf Gardiners Körper abzuzielen. Torrez erzielte mit seiner Leistung den Sieg bei der einstimmigen Entscheidung und machte dabei nicht mehr als eine Handvoll harter Schläge.
Kelly Harrington, ein Silbermedaillengewinner der Weltmeisterschaft aus Irland, hatte wahrscheinlich die meisterhafteste Leistung ihres Teams, als sie im Eröffnungskampf der Nacht zu einem einstimmigen Entscheidungssieg über Stacia Suttles fuhr. Suttles bemühte sich, sich gegen den unerbittlichen Angriff von Harrington in der ersten Runde im idealen Schlagbereich zu halten, Sie verbrachte einen Großteil der drei Minuten damit, sich zu bewegen und zu weben, um die knackigen Kombinationen ihrer Gegnerin zu vermeiden. Suttles landete ihren Stoß ziemlich konsequent, und sie fing spät in der Runde an, einige Combos zusammenzustellen, Aber Harrington ist ein absoluter Experte, wenn es um Kopfbewegungen geht. Sie sah aus, als ob Floyd Mayweather, Jr. war eine ihrer Trainerinnen, als sie eine Hand-Low-Technik mit ständigen Feinheiten einsetzte, Stanzrutschen und Pegelwechsel. In der ersten Runde landete sie eine schöne Gerade links vom Kopf und eine fantastische Kombination aus Körper und Kopf, die solide landete. Sie ließ einige heftige Haken los, obwohl einige wilde Heumacher waren. Unten ist ein Bild von Harrington während eines der wenigen kurzen Momente im Kampf, in denen sie beide Hände hob, um ihr Gesicht zu schützen.
