PHILADELPHIA – February 15, 2020 - Undefeated 21-year-old lightweight prospect Isaac Cruz stunnedShoBox: La Nouvelle Générationveteran Thomas Mattice in a closely contested majority decision win in theShoBoxmain event Friday night from 2300 Arena à Philadelphie, Pennsylvanie. Watch the fight highlightsICI.

Croix, la ville de Mexico, rode his superior work rate, a lethal body attack, and his ability to neutralize Mattice’s jab to the victory. Les juges ont marqué la lutte 95-95 et 96-94 deux fois.

Cruz threw an average of 69.4 coups par round, par rapport à 57.8 punches per round for Mattice. The much shorter Cruz, standing at 5’4” ½, was fearless from the opening bell and held an 82-31 advantage in body punches connected. Mattice, 5’8” ½, was also out-jabbed 34-30. Making his sixth appearance onShoBox, Cleveland’s Mattice was hampered by another slow start, a theme in his previous appearances on the prospect development series. Through the first two rounds, Cruz held advantages of 49-15 dans l'ensemble coups de poing et a atterri 39-8 in power punches connected.

“We were going for the knockout but it didn’t come up so we’ll take the decision,», A déclaré Cruz. “I thought I won all 10 tours. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. Round one to 10 I dominated and I was never hurt.”

A strong finish in the 10e and final round was not enough for Mattice to salvage a draw.

“I came up short,” said Mattice. “He was the better man. He could hit a little bit. I started out a little slow, trying to see what he had. He jumped out to an early lead and I was just trying to get familiar with his power. Je dois pas d'excuses. Il était le meilleur homme ce soir. "

Dans le combat co-vedette, Ra’eese Aleem (16-0, 10 KOs) burst onto the scene in his national television debut, putting on a boxing clinic by scoring a fourth-round TKO in a scheduled eight-round super bantamweight bout over San Antonio’s Adam Lopez (19-4-2, 9 KOs).

Aleem, from Muskegon, Michigan, proved to be overwhelming for Lopez, who was making his record eighth appearance onShoBox.De la cloche d'ouverture, Aleem attacked from all angles as a reactive and slower Lopez was unable to cope with the wide array of punches. The 29-year-old Aleem held a commanding 92-11 advantage in overall punches, including a lopsided 61-7 power punches advantage.

With blood dripping from his nose and scalp, Lopez’s corner asked referee Gary Rosato to stop the fight at 1:31 de la quatrième ronde. Watch the TKOICI.

“I put in a lot of hard work,” said Aleem, who now lives and trains in Las Vegas. “I didn’t see any film on the guy but knew he was a tough Mexican fighter. Once we got in there, I could see the speed difference. I could see his punches coming. I did rush some punches and made some mistakes. But it was good and I kept my hands up and my speed and movements were good. And I’m glad I stopped him. I didn’t want to go the distance.

“I want a world title fight and I’m knocking on the door. I’m hungry and I’m ready. I know Danny Roman just lost the title. Brandon Figueroa, whoever is there in the top-10 I’m ready for. I’m hungry and I’m coming and I want that fight.”

Dans le deuxième combat de l'émission de télévision quatre combat, Cleveland’s flashy unbeaten super lightweight Montana Love (13-0-1, 6 KOs) amélioré son record de 2-0-1 surShoBox, putting in a professional display en route to a unanimous decision over Jerrico Walton (16-1, 7 KOs), who fights out of Houston by way of New Orleans. Les juges ont marqué la lutte 78-74 et 77-75 deux fois. Regardez les meilleurs moments des combatsICI

“I think Love did enough to win,” said SHOWTIME Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. “The rounds he won, he won more convincingly. Love did the serious damage in the fight.”

Walton, with noted trainer Ronnie Shields working his corner, threw slightly more punches than Love, but in a fight decided by big moments, Love had more of them, en particulier dans les tours de retard. Love was more accurate on his power punches (43 percent to 21 pour cent) and in body shots (56-23). The southpaw also hurt Walton on two separate occasions, but the 29-year-old did enough to hang on and survive the rounds.

“I give my performance a C-plus,” said the 25-year-old Love. “I could have been more active in there. I didn’t get hit a lot and I hurt him a few times but I let him off the hook.

“I was getting off good shots, and the thing I’m mad about is that the fight should not have gone the distance. I’m ready for whatever’s next. My team is trying to get me to 135 livres. "

Walton was making his national television debut. “I think the fight was closer than it was scored; I think it was at least a draw,"Il a dit. “I don’t think the fight was 78-74. I’m very disappointed but I’m not going to stop. They’re going to see me again. This is only going to push me harder.”

With his first career loss, Walton became the 191st fighter to lose his undefeated record onShoBox, boxing’s ultimate proving ground.

In a battle of unbeaten super welterweights making theirShoBox fait ses débuts dans le premier match télédiffusé, North Carolina’s Joseph Jackson (16-0, 12 KOs) handed Derrick Colemon, Jr. (11-1, 8 KOs) his first career loss. Jackson overcame a slow start to earn the unanimous decision. Les scores étaient 77-75, 80-72, 78-74. Watch the decisionICI.

The younger and more aggressive Colemon of Detroit started strong, controlling the first three rounds before the savvier and more mature Jackson commanded the second half of the bout. In rounds six through eight, Jackson out-landed Colemon 76-19 ensemble et 50-9 sur coups de puissance. Jackson’s movement and activity frustrated and tired Colemon, who went past five rounds for the first time in his career. Farhood scored the first three rounds in favor of Colemon and the final five rounds for Jackson.

“We just dug deep and got the job done,” said the 31-year-old Jackson. “I’d give my performance an eight out of 10. I know I can show better. I had about 40 people come out from Greensboro, N.C., and support me.

“I’ll fight whoever they put out in front of me next. It’s SHOWTIME and my first televised fight and first fight outside of North Carolina so it was important to put on a show.”

Friday’s fights were promoted by King’s Promotions in association with GH3 Promotions. L'émission complète sera rejoué le lundi, Février 17 à 10 p.m. ET / PT sur Showtime EXTREME et sera disponible sur SHOWTIME ANYTIME® et SHOWTIME sur DEMANDE®.

RAEESE ALEEM



“I’m very excited to be making my televised debut on SHOWTIME, where the world will get to see my talent. I’m definitely looking forward to making some new fans. This is a stepping stone to bigger and better things.



“I feel like I’m flying under the radar. I’ve been right there with all the other rising prospects. I’m originally from a small town so I never had the proper eyes on me. I feel like I must train twice as hard as the average fighter just to be in the same conversation than these guys. But that’s just how the game is. I’m ready to show up and show out.



“It’s been a huge transition since I moved out here [Las Vegas] from Muskegon, Michigan, where I’m originally from. I came out here with no family and no friends, with the sole idea to pursue my career. I took a leap of faith and it has paid off. It’s been all about business here in Las Vegas, and it’s been great. I’ve been exposed to a lot of great fighters and picked up a lot of good tips.



“Adam Lopez is a tough Latino fighter who is going to bring his ‘A’ game, and he has something to prove. He has a lot of experience. He’s been in the ring with a lot of skilled guys and current world champions. This is the type of fight I need to take the next step toward being a world champion.



“I’m an aggressive boxer who likes to throw a lot of punches. I make my opponent miss and I make them pay. I’m all-action. I’m a beast! Je suis prêt à tenir la distance, but my ultimate goal is to get him out of there, to get the win.”

RISING LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECT THOMAS MATTICE TO FACE ISAAC CRUZ GONZALEZ IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: LA NOUVELLE GENERATION vendredi, Février 14 VIVRE SUR Showtime

Laisser un commentaire
Four-Fight Card Also Features Undefeated Prospects Raeese Aleem, Montana Love And Derrick Colemon Jr. In Toughest Tests Of Their Careers



NEW YORK - Janvier 22, 2020 – Rising lightweight prospect Thomas Mattice will face hard-hitting Isaac Cruz Gonzalez in the 10-round main event of ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération vendredi, Février 14 live on SHOWTIME from 2300 Arena à Philadelphie.



The four-fight telecast is the third of four ShoBox presentations over six weeks showcasing some of boxing’s brightest young prospects in their toughest tests to date, including super lightweight prospect Shohjahon Ergashev and super middleweight Vladimir Shishkin, who were victorious on January 17. En janvier 31, featherweight Ruben Villa and welterweight Taras Shelestyuk will be tested and on February 28, super lightweight Malik Hawkins and welterweight Richardson Hitchins face tough opposition.



In the co-featured bout on February 14, undefeated super bantamweight Raeese Aleem (15-0, 9 KOs), de Las Vegas, va prendreShoBox veteran and San Antonio native Adam Lopez (19-3-2, 9 KOs) in an eight-round 122-pound bout. In a matchup of undefeated junior welterweights, Cleveland’s Montana Love (12-0-1, 6 KOs) revient à ShoBox in an eight-round showdown with New Orleans’ Jerrico Walton (16-0, 7 KOs). Dans le combat d'ouverture de la télédiffusion, undefeated junior middleweights Derrick Colemon Jr. (11-0, 8 KOs), de Detroit, and Joseph Jackson (15-0, 12 KOs), de Caroline du Nord, will square off in an eight-round 154-pound bout.



Les billets pour l'événement, which is promoted by GH3 Promotions and King’s Promotions are $100, $75 et $50 et être achetés àwww.2300arena.com



Cleveland’s Mattice (15-1-1, 11 KOs) is coming off his most significant win to date, an eight-round TKO of previously undefeated Michael Dutchover last September on ShoBox. The fight was stopped due to a deep gash on Dutchover caused by a clean right hand from Mattice. The judges’ scorecards were split at the time of the stoppage. Mattice will be making his sixth start on the prospect developmental series, including a close loss to Will Madera in 2019, a split decision win and a split draw with Zhora Hamazaryan in 2018, and a knockout of Rolando Chinea. The 29-year-old hopes a convincing win over the top-10 ranked Gonzalez will move him closer to a world title shot.



“A win would be huge for my career and put me in a great position,” Mattice said. “It would put me in the conversation with the top dogs of the division. I have to put on a great performance and let all those top fighters know that I’m here and ready to fight anyone. It’s a must-win for me, but it’s a big fight for both of us. He is ranked No. 7 by the IBF so this has the feel of a big fight. I think a win would put me in the top-10.”



Gonzalez (18-1-1, 14 KOs), la ville de Mexico, a marqué KO en 11 de son dernier 14 fights since suffering only loss of his career in just his sixth professional fight. The 22-year-old owns a career-best knockout of former interim world title challenger Jose Felix Jr. en 2018. Actuellement classé Non. 7 par l'IBF au 135 livres, Gonzalez made his U.S. debut in December on the non-televised undercard of the Jermall Charlo vs. Dennis Hogan event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn last December.



“I am excited to be fighting in the United States and I am thrilled for my fight to be shown on SHOWTIME,” said Gonzalea. “So many fighters started their career on ShoBox and have become World Champions.”



Aleem compiled a 65-10 record as an amateur and was a five-time Golden Gloves State Champion in Michigan. He finished third at the National Golden Gloves in 2010 et 2011 avant de passer professionnel en 2011. The 29-year-old recently relocated his training camp to Las Vegas, where he has sparred with Jessie Magdaleno, Nonito Donaire and Jhack Tepora. Aleem, who is trained by Terry Markowski, will face the toughest test of his career in the veteran Lopez.



“All my hard work is paying off and now I get to show it on the big stage,” Aleem said. “I am looking forward to earning new fans and staying on a roll. I know Lopez is a really tough fighter with something to prove. He’s been here before so I know he’s ready for the challenge. This is a steppingstone to ultimately get where I want to be, and that’s fighting for a world title, bigger paydays and more exposure. En fin de compte, I don’t just want to win, I want to dominate. Winning isn’t good enough – I also have to look good while doing it.”



Lopez was an accomplished amateur who won six national titles and held a No. 1 classement, but he has had an up and down career as a pro. The 29-year-old started his career with 15 straight victories yet he has suffered a few setbacks as his level of opposition has dramatically increased. Lopez was undefeated and one win away from challenging for a world championship before losing to current unified 122-pound champion Daniel Roman in a title eliminator in 2017 sur Showtime. Lopez, who will break his own record ofShoBox appearances when he steps into the ring for the eighth time, will face his sixth undefeated opponent on the series as he looks to get his career back on track.



“Aleem is a pretty good fighter, but I think my experience is going to be a factor,” Lopez said. “He hasn’t fought top-tier guys with the exception of Marcus Bates. I have been in the big fights and this is his first time doing this. I am on a three-fight winning streak and I have rededicated myself to the sport. Je ai un nouvel entraîneur, Chato Martinez, and a whole new camp. I can’t wait to show that I am back.”



The flashy Love was an accomplished amateur who compiled a 174-13 record. The 25-year-old southpaw will return for his third test on ShoBox as he seeks a convincing victory. In his first bout on the series, he won a majority decision over Samuel Teah in 2018 and followed that up with a split draw a few months later against Kenneth Sims Jr. Aimer, who has sparred with Adrien Broner and Robert Easter Jr., will face what should be his most dangerous opponent in the fellow-undefeated Walton.



“Walton is a decent fighter, but I feel he is still green and he doesn’t have that much experience,” Love said. “I know he is tough, but I am taking this to the next level. He’s just a stepping stone. It’s exciting to fight under the bright lights. Some guys fold, but I was made for this. I am not looking past him, but this will take my career to the next level. We are both undefeated and not many guys take risks like this, but this shows I am a true fighter. My name is Montana “Too Pretty Love” and I am fighting on Valentine’s Day, so I will be giving a lot of love out on February 14.”



The 29-year-old Walton was born and raised in New Orleans, where he rescued his mother and sister from the flood waters of Hurricane Katrina when he was just 13 ans. Left homeless, the family relocated to Houston, where Walton competed as an amateur. Walton turned professional in 2014 and has been perfect through his first 16 combats, including a career-best win over former super bantamweight world champion Victor Terrazas in 2019. The boxer-puncher, who is trained by Bobby Benton and fought six times last year, will face the first undefeated opponent of his career in Love.



“I have seen Montana fight before. I know he is flashy in the Adrien Broner mode, but other than that I do not know too much about him,” Walton said. “This opportunity is a blessing. The world is going to get to see me and hear my story. I’m from New Orleans and it was a struggle for me growing up, so this is a great opportunity. I never in a million years thought that I would be in this position. I just need to seize the moment and get the victory.”



Juste 20 ans, Colemon started boxing at the age of 4 and honed his craft at the original Kronk Gym under Emanuel Steward until his passing in 2012. Colemon had a 135-fight amateur career and was a four-time national amateur champion in the junior division. He turned professional when he was 18 years old and has eight knockouts in his first 11 combats professionnels. Colemon, who is trained by Marlon Thomas, will face by far the toughest test of his career in Jackson, a fellow undefeated yet untested prospect.



“I am physically and mentally prepared more than I ever have been,” Colemon said. “I know Jackson is undefeated and tough, so I know I’m in for a big test. This is the next step in my career, and I feel that I will be not only the next great champion that has fought onShoBox, but the next great fighter out of Detroit. I am ready to show the world my talents. Février 14 will put my name in the minds of boxing fans all over the world.”



The 31-year-old Jackson got a late start as a professional yet has been active, including three fights in 2019 et trois en 2018. Il a 12 KOs en 15 combats, including knockouts in seven of his last eight bouts. The Greensboro native will fight outside of North Carolina for the first time in his career when he takes on the undefeated Colemon.



“I know Colemon is tough, and he had a long amateur career,” Jackson said. “He will come to fight, but I prepare for anything. That is what this sport is all about. I am looking forward to showcasing my talent to the world.”

LES PLUS GRANDS TALENTS DE LA CAROLINE DU NORD SONT A LA UNE DE LUTTE JEUDI NUIT A DURHAM

Laisser un commentaire
Les billets sont en vente maintenant pour le 19 octobre carte, qui présente dur, rencontres locales

DURHAM, CAROLINE DU NORD – Août 25, 2017 – Raging Babe et Matchmaker du Temple de la renommée Russell Peltz ont assemblé ce qui pourrait être la meilleure carte que la Caroline du Nord a vue cette année. Quand “Raging Babe” Michelle Rosado a fait un premier pas en Caroline du Nord, elle l'a fait avec intention et intention. La Caroline du Nord a, pour trop longtemps, été considéré comme un endroit où les combattants peuvent aller garnir leurs records. Rosado était déterminé à changer cela, et le promoteur nouvellement créé prévoit de respecter cet engagement lorsqu'elle présentera Jeudi Night Fights sur 19 octobre au Manège militaire de Durham.

L'événement principal est un match local, épais de mauvais sang. Marko “The Bull City Bully” Mur d'enceinte (5-0, 3KO) affronte Charlotte Stevie “La réponse” Massey (4-1, 4KO). dans un combat de six rounds qui se prépare depuis que les deux combattants étaient dans les rangs amateurs. Le discours de trash à huis clos auquel les deux combattants ont participé au cours des dernières années s'est répandu sur les réseaux sociaux, et va maintenant culminer dans le combat du championnat d'État de Caroline du Nord sur19 octobre. “Il fait trop courir sa bouche,” dit Bailey de son adversaire. “C'est personnel. Je veux battre le s— hors de lui. J'ai attendu longtemps pour mettre la main sur ce mec, et je vais le décomposer en six tours. Je vais lui faire mal paraître.” Ceci est le premier combat de six rounds de Bailey, et il entre dans le camp avec les paroles de Terence Crawford, champion incontesté des super légers dans sa tête. “J'ai passé du temps avec Bud le week-end dernier. Il m'a dit que même quand tu as du mal, et les temps deviennent durs, tu dois te battre, quoi qu'il arrive. Pas d'excuses.” Bailey s'entraîne à trois heures de chez lui avec son entraîneur-chef Don Turner. “Ce n'est pas un travail facile, heures de formation chaque jour dans une ferme avec seulement du travail, repos et maïs.” Dit Rosado du camp de Bailey. Bailey n'est pas découragé. “Tu dois te battre contre l'adversité. C’est ce qui fait les champions. C’est ce qui montre de quoi vous êtes fait,” dit le jeune combattant.

Massey prévoit de laisser ses poings parler. “Je ne recule devant personne,” dit Massey du match. “On aurait dû se battre chez les amateurs, mais cela ne s'est pas produit, et maintenant il est temps.” Le poids plume de 24 ans augmente de poids pour combattre Bailey, et Bailey descend. Ils se réunissent au milieu à 132 lbs. Massey vient de connaître sa première défaite, une décision unanime difficile à Reggie Barnett Jr. De nombreux combattants prendraient une touche plus facile après une défaite, mais ce n'est pas ainsi que Massey est construit. “La perte m'a rendu cette faim. Il ferait mieux d'attacher parce que 19 octobre, J'arrive.”

C'est le genre de match que Rosado et Peltz préfèrent. “Écouter, Michelle est un go- getter, elle est agressive,” Ledit Peltz. “Elle adhère à la théorie des matchs locaux. Il n'y a rien de mal à la boxe que de bons combats n'aideront pas. Michelle comprend que. Vous devez faire des combats compétitifs. Si vous pouvez les faire au niveau local sans TV, ça ne fera qu'aider la boxe à long terme. Nous essayons de changer la culture en NC. Chaque fois que vous obtenez deux enfants locaux pour se battre au 21e siècle, c'est un gros problème.”

En cas de co-principal, deux invaincus, Des combattants locaux de Durham se sont affrontés dans un combat de six rondes chez les poids moyens juniors. Joseph Jackson (8-0, 6KO) places off contre Monreco “King Reek” Goldston (5-0-1, 3KO), avec les deux combattants mettant leur «O’ sur la ligne. Ce sera le premier combat de Goldston en plus d'un an, après avoir marqué un nul à la majorité avec Robert Sweeney de Virginie en mai 2016. Le combat sera le quatrième de Jackson cette année. Il vient de remporter une victoire par élimination contre Darryol Humphrey samedi dernier, 19 août.

Également sur la carte, Carlos Olmeda (2-0, 2KO) fait face à un adversaire très coriace dans le bagarreur de New York Vinnie Denierio (1-2, 1KO). Ce n'est pas la première fois que le 5'10” Southpaw Denierio a combattu dans la Bull City. Il y a affronté Marko Bailey en avril, avant de le rattraper en juin à Philadelphie. Les deux combats ont mérité les ovations de la foule. Olmeda n'est pas du genre à reculer, en dépit d'être le plus petit des deux combattants, prévoit de donner au New Yorker tout ce qu'il peut gérer.

Le reste de la carte est empilé avec certains des talents les plus prometteurs de Caroline du Nord. Poids moyen junior invaincu Donnie Marshall (5-0, 4KO) fait une apparition sur la carte, aux côtés de la perspective Super Middleweight Blake “Le KO King” Mansfield (4-1-1, 2KO) , et Raleigh Heavyweight Nate Williams (1-0, 1KO). Également sur la carte, Hasim Rahman |, Jr. fait ses débuts en Caroline du Nord. Le poids lourd suit les traces de son père, et a remporté deux victoires, les deux par KO, depuis ses débuts en avril.

La carte de combat remplit la promesse de Rosado aux fans de Caroline du Nord. “Ces combattants ne plaisantent pas,” dit rosé. “C'est rafraîchissant de travailler avec des gars qui veulent se battre.” Rosado a noté que, aux combattants’ crédit, les rencontres susmentionnées étaient une vente facile. “Ils voulaient venir se battre pour les fans. Pas de tournées de presse bizarres, pas de pay-per-view, pas de numéros de cirque, pas de matchs embarrassants. Juste de vrais boxeurs combattant de vrais combats, Le style Durham.”
