“Breakout” Possible swan song for Steve Vukosa, Statement time for Mike Marshall

QUINCY, Massa. (Juni 1, 2021) – The main event on the June 26th “Breakout” card, gepresenteerd door Granite Chin Promotions, matches two New England heavyweights heading in opposite directions, Steve "The Gentle Giant” Vukosa (13-1, 5 KO) en “Fly” Mike Marshall (5-1, 4 KO).

The evening card of another Granite Chin day-night doubleheader (separate admissions) is headlined by the 10-round main event for the vacant NABA United States Heavyweight Championship between Vukosa (13-1, 5 KO) who will possibly be fighting for the final time – win, verliezen of te tekenen — and reigning New England heavyweight champion Marshall.

Vukoša, fighting of out Quincy, MA, is a former WBC U.S. Heavyweight Champion, which he captured in 2019 when he won an 8-round unanimous decision against Joe Cusumano (18-2, 16 KO). During his 20-year pro boxing career, Vukosa’s gained invaluable experience sparring at the famed Wild Card Boxing gym in Los Angeles as a sparring partner for world champions James Toney, Evander Holyfield en Wladimir Klitschko. He’s also driven a bus for the past 15 years for the Mass Bay Transportation Authority, vanaf 4 p.m. and finishing around 2 een M., after which he does his run in. But he’s now 44 with a wife and three children and his boxing clock is ticking.

“I’m still fighting because I love it,” Vukosa explained. “It’s hard to walk away from something you’re good at. This one fight and it could be the end. My wife will be happy. My body is starting to fall apart: handen, back and knees. They’ve been killing me. I used to be quick and fast, now I’m slow. I just want to have a good fight, overwinning, or lose, but I want to win. I really enjoyed by days at Wild Card, those sparring sessions were like real fights, and my amateur days with trainer Jimmy Farrell.

“I saw my opponent when he won the New England title, I was impressed. (promotor)Chris (Traietti) called asking if I’d fight him, I accepted because I like to fight and a good challenge. I’m looking forward to the fight.”

The 36-year-old Marshall, fighting out of Danbury, CT, has won his last two fights, both on Granite Chin shows at the same venue as his upcoming match with Vukosa, including his N.E. title-winning performance last November against Justin “Crazy Train” Rolfe. Marshall isn’t looking at his opponent as over the hill because of Vukosa’s advance age, but he does plan to make a statement that, hopelijk, will get him positive exposure outside of New England.

“I know he’s a veteran pugilist, a pupil of Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, who was an awesome fighter in his own right,” Marshall remarked. “This is boxing, alles kan gebeuren. My job is to prepare for anything. I’ve had the best quality sparring in house with the No. 1 amateur heavyweight, Fernely Felix, Jr. My team works very hard, My manger, A.J. Galante, asked me to be sharper in my last fight (3-round KO of Tracey Johnson this past April), so I did what he asked me to do. My cornerman Austin Ampeoquio keeps me sharp with the mitts, and my head coaches David McDonough en Bennie ‘The Jet’ Little do a good job pushing me as well.

“I know Steve comes to fight and I’m looking forward to an exciting night of boxing. We are two warriors going toe-to-toe in the ring, putting on a show for boxing fans who really enjoy the sport of boxing, not this YouTube celebrity garbage that’s going on right now.”

“Steve ran into some bad luck after the Cusumano win,” Granite Chin president Chris Traietti commented. “A few fights fell through, then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. We literally had a fight in Germany fall out the day we were set to leave for the airport. After that we lost a lot of the steam from the Cusamano fight and kind of had to reassess. He picked up a tune-up fight a few months ago, but we now have to either regain some momentum by winning a fight like this or finally have Steve ride off into the sunset. This fight with Marshall will be no picnic. He has burst upon the local scene with some impressive performances.

“Like many coming to the fight, I have no idea how this fight shakes out, which makes for a great main event. One thing I will say, despite what Steve like to make people believe, in the event he wins this fight, it won’t be his final fight. Zero chance of that! If Marshall wins, I have no doubt he will get a television fight in the very near future on a major network.”

In the 8-round co-featured event, former N.E. heavyweight champion Rolfe (5-2-1, 4 KO), van Fairfield, ME, will takes on Mexican challenger Jose Humberto “Olimpico” Corral (20-26, 12 KO) for the vacant ABF Atlantic heavyweight title.

DERRY, N. H. (Augustus 30, 2020) – Twee regionale titelgevechten, ondersteund door verschillende drukke gevechten, belichtte het eerste professionele boksevenement van Granite Chin Promotion sinds november, ‘Keer terug naar Derry,” afgelopen nacht (Sat., Augustus. 29), voor een bijna vol publiek in het New England Sports Centre in Derry, New Hampshire.

Twee wereldkampioenen waren aanwezig om de jagers te steunen, ongeslagen regerende World Boxing Organization (WBO) middengewicht kampioen Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade en“De Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera, de gepensioneerde 3-time, 2-titelhouder van de divisie.

“Ik ben blij dat we vanavond een stap voorwaarts hebben gezet in de richting van normaliteit,” promotor Chris Traietti becommentarieerde. Sport helpt om mensen bij elkaar te brengen en vanavond hadden we een vol huis met mensen van alle rassen, religies, en geloofsbelijdenissen. Ik ben blij dat deze Amerikanen zich hier vanavond vermaken.”

Net Binnen “Gekke trein” Rolfe werd gekroond tot New England zwaargewicht kampioen door middel van een 8-ronde unaniem besluit over Tracey “Titan” Johnson in het main event.

Rolfe tegen. Johnson II was een herkansing van een meerderheidstrekking van zes ronden afgelopen november in Quincy, Massachusetts. Bij de herkansing stond er nog veel meer op het spel, hoewel, omdat de N.E. zwaargewicht titel stond op het spel. Boston linkshandige Johnson, de halfbroer van Andrade, methodisch verpakt, terwijl Rolfe, een inwoner van Maine, naar voren kwam en bommen gooide, en hun contrast van stijlen zorgden voor een vermakelijk gevecht.

De ongrijpbare Johnson begon zijn bereik te vinden in de vierde ronde, verbinding maken met combinaties terwijl Rolfe moe leek te worden, maar hij kreeg zijn tweede wind en bleef agressief, vaak Johnson aan de touwen vastpinnen. De twee gelijkwaardige vechters gingen heen en weer in de tweede helft van het gevecht, hoewel Rolfe op de actie drukte en Johnson tegenwerkte. Geen van beiden leken op enig moment tijdens het gevecht gewond te zijn., Beiden lieten zich los in de achtste en laatste ronde, niets in de tank achterlaten. Rolfe's non-stop aanval en bleek het verschil te zijn in deze match-up.

Ryan DiBartolomeo veroverde de vacante New Hampshire weltergewicht titel, het nemen van een split-decision van zes ronden Kris Jacobs, in de co-featured event. “Ik woon in Massachusetts, maar al mijn gevechten (3-0-1) ben in New Hampshire geweest en ik train in Nashua (NH),” Zei DiBartolomeo na het gevecht. “Vechten in New Hampshire is als thuis vechten en nu ben ik de weltergewichtkampioen van New Hampshire.”

DiBartolemeo kwam snel uit de hoek en liet Jacobs al snel vallen voor een 8-count. Jacobs haalde de openingsronde, maar hij kon de vrij zwaaiende DiBartolemeo's sterke rechterhand niet ontwijken, peperend zijn tegenstanders hoofd, in de tweede ronde. Jacobs vestigde zich in de derde, pakte het tempo op in de vierde, en begon zijn handen meer los te laten in de vijfde, effectiever landen op zijn agressieve vijand. De twee vechters gingen van teen tot teen in de laatste ronde en DiBartolemeo sloot de show af.

New England middengewicht kampioen Kendrick Ball, Jr., vechten tegen licht zwaargewicht Tahuk Taylor, toonde zijn vaardigheden maximaal, zijn tegenstander op de mat schieten met een zoet rechtdoor, weer met een mooie linkse hoek, en hij stond op het punt de show te sluiten als scheidsrechterJackie Morell genadig eindigde het gevecht met 13 seconden te gaan in de eerste ronde.

Populair junior weltergewicht Mike “Slechte man” OHan, Jr. deed zo ongeveer alles, maar stop met gruizig DeWayne Wijsheid, die twee punten kreeg bestraft en eenmaal officieel werd gevloerd. Maar hij heeft het overleefd, zij het verliezen van een scheve 6-ronde unanieme beslissing aan Ohan.

New England Golden Gloves kampioen Francis “Frank The Tank” Hogan afgewezen Rashan wijsheid, die twee keer op het doek viel voordat zijn hoek de handdoek in de ring gooide. Hogan is lang, slungelige linkshandige die goed geschoold is en nu 2-0 (2 KO).

In een pittig gevecht, ongeslagen licht zwaargewicht Edet “Papa” Kpanam (4-0, 3 KO) was meedogenloos tegen een wedstrijd Saul “Spin” Almeida, een van de beste mixed-martial-arts-vechters in New England. Mkpanan liet Almeida in de eerste twee rondes vallen op weg naar een moeilijke unanieme beslissing van 4 ronden.

Veelbelovend Boston lichtgewicht vooruitzicht Jonathan Depina overklast Volgens de “De onheilige waarheid” Desjardin, hem vroeg vloeren en hem kort daarna afmaken met een zinderend schot, om te verbeteren 2-0 (2 KO).

Middengewicht Anthony Concepcion gewonnen door middel van een derde ronde diskwalificatie wanneer zijn tegenstander, pro-debuterende Caleb Denham, negeerde de instructies van de scheidsrechter om door te gaan met vechten.

Middengewicht Larry “Slomoshun” Smid, vechten uit Dallas, boekte zijn eerste overwinning in meer dan negen jaar, het nemen van een 4-ronden unaniem besluit van Jezus “Het sap” Cintron. De 41-jarige Smith, 0-39-2 tijdens zijn winless streak, liet Anderson in de eerste ronde vallen.


Larry Smith vierde het na zijn eerste overwinning in 9 jaar

Texas licht zwaargewicht Bryan Vera uitgeteld Mike Anderson met een grote rechterhand in de eerste ronde. Scheidsrechter Leo Gerstel zwaaide onmiddellijk van de telling af, net nadat Anderson de mat raakte. Vera, die bekend staat om zijn deelname aan The Contender reality tv-show, heeft wereldkampioenen verslagen Sergio Mora (tweemaal), toen ongeslagen Andy Lee en Serhiy Dzinziruk tijdens zijn 16-jarige professionele carrière.

Veteraan junior middengewicht klif “Goochelaar” McPherson had geen trucs voor Tyrone “Handen van steen” Luckey omdat hij in de tweede ronde werd gediskwalificeerd door scheidsrechter Morrell wegens herhaald vasthouden.

Het openen van de avond was een wedstrijd tussen cruiserweight Larry “Hitman” Pryor en Francisco Neto. Het duurde niet lang voor Pryor, wiens neef was de late, Hall of Famer Aaron “Havik” Pryor, legde Neto neer met een mooi geplaatste linkse hoek. Neto versloeg de graaf maar stond op wiebelige benen, hoofdscheidsrechter Gerstel om het gevecht stop te zetten na 35 seconden van de openingsronde.
