Πόλη του Κεμπέκ (Ιούλιος 30, 2016) – Ελαφρύ βαρέων βαρών παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Αστεροειδής αδώνης “Υπεράνθρωπος” Stevenson (28-1, 23 KOs) delivered a highlight reel knockout victory over Θωμάς “Top Dogg” Williams Jr. (20-2, 14 KOs) in the fourth-round of an exciting main event showdown on Premier Πυγμαχία Τσάμπιονς επί Spike Παρασκευή night from Centre Videotron in Quebec City, Καναδάς.
It was a firefight,” said Stevenson. “He put pressure on me so I decided to put pressure on him too. It was a fight with two guys who could punch and it was spectacular. It was my daughter’s birthday and I gave her a great gift.
The defending champion Stevenson, fighting in his adopted hometown, put Williams down in round one with a straight left hand. Williams was able to recover and began to fire back in round two. Ωστόσο, Stevenson’s jab consistently sent Williams backtracking, while Williams abandoned the jab and attempted to cut the distance with power punches from difficult angles. Williams staggered the world champion several times, using an effective counter right hand while getting the best of many exchanges.
Both men were hurt in an exciting third round that saw momentum swing in each man’s favor before the bell rang to end the round. A cut opened up over the left eye of Williams in the end of the round that was tended to in his corner. Williams hit the canvas as a result of a low blow early in the fourth, but regained his footing shortly after.
The notorious power puncher Stevenson eventually landed the deciding blow of the night when he caught Williamschin hanging in the pocket and delivered a straight left hand that put the challenger to the floor. Η Ουάσιγκτον, DC area-native was unable to recover, prompting referee Michael Griffin to stop the bout 2:54 into the fourth round.
Additional televised action saw rising middleweight contendersImmanuel Aleem (16-0-1, 9 KOs) και Demond Nicholson (17-1-1, 16 KOs) fight to a majority draw in their eight-round bout.
Neither fighter was able to control of the fight with Nicholson attempting to use his length and jab while Aleem tried to cut the distance and attack with short punches. Nicholson appeared to have the more effective attack in the early rounds, while Aleem began to have more success as the fight shifted to toe-to-toe action in the second half of the fight.
Οι δικαστές’ scores reflected the close nature of the fight as one judge had it 77-74 for Aleem while the other two judges had it a 76-76 κλήρωση.
The televised opener saw Eleider “Καταιγίδα” Alvarez (20-0, 10 KOs) keep his perfect record intact with a unanimous decision victory over New Zealand’s Robert Berridge (27-5, 21 KOs) in a 10-round light heavyweight affair.
I am happy with the win, but I would have liked a knockout! Ήταν σκληρός, but he did not hurt me at all and I thought that I hurt him. I am ready for my next challenge, which will hopefully be a world title fight.
The top-rated contender for Stevenson’s title, Alvarez established his jab early on while attacking the body of Berridge with right hooks. Alvarez continued to control the fight from a distance as Berridge was slow to begin increasing his output before he started putting the pressure on in round five.
The southpaw Berridge was able to land occasionally on Alvarez with a looping left hand, but never put the undefeated fighter in danger. Alvarez began to have more success varying up his attack with right uppercuts and hooks that eventually left Berridge’s right eye swollen and bruised.
Alvarez took home the decision by scores of 99-90 και 98-92 δυο φορές.

Yvon Michel – Πρόεδρος του γυμναστηρίου:
The event is called ‘SHOOTOUTbecause of the aggressive style of Thomas Williams Jr, who fights like there is no αύριο, combined with the explosive power of Adonis Stevenson.
Williams is a clear and present danger but we are convinced that Adonis is well prepared and will succeed, so that we will all be happy Σάββατο morning while eating breakfast. We still have not seen his full potential yet.
The fight between Eleider Alvarez and Robert Berridge is really important for the rankings in the light heavyweight division. Alvarez is highly considered by all the independent rankings (Το δαχτυλίδι, BoxRec) and Berridge was already in training before the withdrawal of Chad Dawson, because he was supposed to fight on HBO PPV last weekend before the bout was cancelled for administrative reasons. He is fearless and a hard hitter.

ROC NATION SPORTS ANNOUNCES NON-TELEVISED UNDERCARD FIGHTERS FOR ANDRE WARD VS. ALEXANDER BRAND

ON Σάββατο, Αύγουστος 6 AT ORACLE ARENA IN OAKLAND, ΚΑΛΙΦΟΡΝΙΑ

WARD VS. BRAND TO BE TELEVISED LIVE

ON HBO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

ΑΡΧΗ ΣΤΟ 10:35 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/PT

ΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ, Νέα Υόρκη (Ιούλιος 26, 2016) – Two-Time World Champion and top-rated pound-for-pound fighter Andre Ward (29-0, 15 KOs) θα επιστρέψει στο δαχτυλίδι στις Σάββατο, Αύγουστος 6, to continue his conquest of the light heavyweight division when he takes on power-punching Colombian Alexander Brand (25-1, 19 KOs) at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Καλιφόρνια. Το γεγονός, which will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing beginning at 10:35 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/PT, will now include six bouts of non-televised action for ticketed fans to enjoy before the main showdown.

 

The promising undercard lineup will feature East Bay familiar, Bilal Mahasin and a collection of Roc Nation Sports’ brightest prospects including, Daniel «Σύσπαση" Φράνκο, Rudy “The Revelation” Puga Jr. και Darmani “Rock Solid” Rock. Roc Nation Sports’ sparkplug Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker also looks to ignite Oracle Arena as the card’s co-feature in a 10-round NABO Junior Welterweight Title clash against Tyrone Barnett.

 

Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (20-0-2, 15 KOs) was born and raised in Oak Cliff, Τέξας, a suburb of Dallas, where he found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths. His natural talent was soon noticed resulting in him competing as an amateur, during which time he participated in over 100 αγώνες, compiling a record of 97 νίκες και μόνο 7 απώλειες, με 67 victories coming by way of knockout. Hooker turned professional on April 29, 2011, taking on the vastly more experienced Tyrone Chatman at the Orpheum Theater in St. Louis. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 και 38-38, making the fight a split draw. Απτόητος, in his next fight on June 24, 2014, Hooker scored his first professional win, knocking out Wilbert Mitchell in the first round at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, Τέξας. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos on January 17, 2014 in a bout that was featured on ShoBox from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis. After eight close, hard-fought rounds, the judges saw the fight a draw. Four consecutive knockout victories would follow before he took on fellow undefeated prospect Eduardo Galindo on June 26, 2015 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas for the vacant NABO Junior Welterweight Championship. “Mo” did not disappoint his legion of hometown fans who saw him capture the title with a sixth round technical knockout victory. Τον Οκτώβριο 17, 2015, Hooker successfully defended his title at Madison Square Garden in New York City against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma. The 10-round decision win came on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux and was featured on the event’s “freeview” as well as streamed online around the world. “Mighty Mo” made his debut under the Roc Nation Sports banner on the undercard of Andre Ward vs. Sullivan Barrera, this past March at Oracle Arena in Oakland, ΟΠΩΣ, where he annihilated opponent Wilfrido “La Roca” Buelvas of Columbia in the first round of a 10-round junior welterweight bout by way of technical knockout. Hooker looks to advance his undefeated record when he takes on Tyrone Barnett (23-4-1, 15 KOs) επί Αύγουστος 6 στο Oracle Arena. Barnett was in action this past February, with a technical knockout victory over Daniel Attah at the Walter E. Συνεδριακό Κέντρο της Ουάσινγκτον. The D.C. native is eager to stop Maurice Hooker’s momentum and take home the NABO title.

 

Χαιρετώντας από Riverside, Καλιφόρνια και παλεύει έξω από την εστία πυγμαχία των Όξναρντ, αήττητο κατώτερο ελαφρύ Daniel «Σύσπαση" Φράνκο (13-0-3, 8 KOs) ξεκίνησε την πυγμαχία στην ηλικία των οκτώ, συγκεντρώνοντας μια ερασιτεχνική ρεκόρ 67-15, κερδίζοντας το πρωτάθλημα Όξναρντ PAL σε 2006 και τα γάντια Πρωτάθλημα California State Silver στο 2007 κατά μήκος του τρόπου. Κατά τη διάρκεια επαγγελματικό ντεμπούτο του Φράνκο το Δεκέμβριο 18, 2010, νίκησε τον Emanuel Machorro στο Club 401 σε Οντάριο, Καλιφόρνια μέσω ενός τρίτου γύρου τεχνικό νοκ-άουτ. Φράνκο εντυπωσίασε νωρίς στην καριέρα του, καταρτίζοντας αήττητο ρεκόρ με δύο ισοπαλίες σε χώρους σε όλη την Καλιφόρνια μέχρι το τέλος του 2013. Ένας από αυτούς ισοπαλίες ήρθαν εναντίον Αλεχάντρο Ochoa σε Quiet Cannon σε Montebello, Καλιφόρνια τον Σεπτέμβριο 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, Franco outmatched Ochoa σκοράροντας έξι-στρογγυλή ομόφωνη απόφαση νίκη στο ξενοδοχείο Westin Bonaventure στο Λος Άντζελες. Τον Ιούνιο 20, 2015, during Ward’s return to the ring at Oracle Arena, Franco saw action in an eight round junior lightweight bout against Jonathan Alcantara and won by unanimous decision. In his most recent fight on March 26, 2016 at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California on the Andre Ward vs. Sullivan Barrera undercard, the unbeaten Twitch met Mexico’s German “Panteonero” Meraz in an eight-round featherweight bout. Franco scored a technical knockout over the veteran fighter in the final round of the fight.Αύγουστος 6 will be Franco’s third appearance at Oracle when he takes on Renton, Washington’s Marcelo Gallardo (7-3-2, 3 KOs). The 26-year-old Gallardo has been known to play the spoiler role, scoring unanimous decision victories over unbeaten prospects Christopher Diaz and Vic Pasillas in 2015.

Having compiled an exceptional amateur record of 99-8, Rudy “The Revelation” Puga. Jr. (8-0, 7 KOs), the promising prospect from Salinas, California made his professional debut on September 2, 2011, scoring a fourth round technical knockout victory over Raul Talamontes at the Sports Complex in his hometown. Back in the ring less than two months later, Puga Jr. raised his record to 2-0 with a first round technical knockout of Jose Jesus Hurtado at the Sherwood Inn in Salinas. Τον Ιουνιο 2012, he sent Thomas Turner to the mat four times scoring a second round technical knockout win at the Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Νεβάδα. After a little more than a year away from the ring, he rededicated himself to the “sweet science” with a vengeance and on February 17, 2014, Puga Jr. made his comeback stopping Charon Spain in the third round with an overpowering body shot at the Salinas Storm House in his native Salinas. Puga Jr. rounded out 2015 with a four-round technical knockout of Katrell Straus and a six-round unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Rojas. Επί Φεβρουάριος 12, Puga Jr. extended his undefeated streak to 7 fights by knocking out Alejandro Osuna in two rounds at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, Καλιφόρνια. In his most recent fight on March 26, 2016 at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California on HBO’s Andre Ward vs. Sullivan Barrera undercard, Puga Jr. extended his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano by way of a technical knockout in the sixth round. The Southern California native returns to the Bay Area on Αύγουστος 6 to face an opponent to be announced.

 

Brooklyn’s undefeated Junior “The Young God” Younan (9-0, 7 KOs) Θεωρείται μία από τις καλύτερες προοπτικές του εγκιβωτισμού της Νέας Υόρκης. Younan, εκπαιδευτεί από τον πατέρα του Sherif, ένας πρώην επαγγελματίας πυγμάχος ο ίδιος, began fighting competitively at age eight and only two years later was called a “boxing prodigy” by the New York Times. Συνέταξε μια ερασιτεχνική ρεκόρ 90-5, μετάγγιση μέχρι μια εντυπωσιακή σειρά των τίτλων κατά μήκος του τρόπου, συμπεριλαμβανομένων εννέα Τζούνιορ Ολυμπιακό πρωταθλήματα, εννέα πρωταθλήματα Νέων Μετρό, οκτώ New York State Silver Γάντια πρωταθλήματα και πέντε Περιφερειακής Silver Γάντια πρωταθλήματα. Σε 2011, στέφθηκε Εθνική Νέων χρυσά γάντια πρωταθλητής και ήταν Η.Π.Α.. Πυγμαχία νούμερο ένα ονομαστική κατώτερος πυγμάχος στην κατηγορία βάρους του. Λιγότερο από ένα μήνα μετά του 18ου γενέθλια, Younan έκανε το επαγγελματικό ντεμπούτο του το Νοέμβριο 9, 2013, στο Aviator Sports και Events Center στο Μπρούκλιν, New York, σταματώντας Kenneth Schmitz στον πρώτο γύρο. During his recent match up on the Andre Ward vs. Sullivan Barrera undercard that took place March 26, 2016, Younan scored a four round unanimous decision over Christian Solarzano, pitching a shutout on all three scorecards. Facing his stiffest test to date on May 13, 2016 on the undercard of throne boxing’s Dusty Hernandez-Harrison vs. Mike Dallas, Jr. on BET and Tidal.com, Younan overwhelmed Rodrigo Almeida of Woburn, Massachusetts with a technical knockout in the first round at the DC Armory in Washington, D.C. Returning to Oakland on the Ward vs. Brand undercard, Younan is set to take on Jaime “Zarco” Solorio (5-2-2, 4 KOs) επί Αύγουστος 6. Fighting out of Baja, Καλιφόρνια, the Mexico native is riding an undefeated streak in his last six fights.

 

Στην ηλικία των 20, Darmani Rock (3-0, 3 KOs) is already drawing comparisons to former heavyweight greats of the past. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Rock was brought to a local boxing ring by his father at age twelve after he lost a street fight to neighborhood bullies. Standing at 6’4”, he moves with an unparalleled lightness and speed for a fighter his size. Rock earned nation-wide accolades following a banner year in 2014 when he took home the USA Boxing Junior and Youth Open, Youth Continental and Youth World super heavyweight titles. During the 2014 Junior and Youth Open in Reno, Νεβάδα, Rock shut out the 2013 National Youth Champion, John Luna, 3-0. This impressive performance was followed by another super heavyweight title at the Youth Continental Championships in March 2014 in Quito, Ecuador where he defeated Argentina’s Kervin Espinola 3-0. Rock then took home the gold medal at the prestigious World Youth Championships in Bulgaria in April 2014 από α 2-1 decision over Germany’s Peter Kadiru. Rock also took home the 2014 World Junior Amateur Championship and capped off 2014 by being named Philadelphia’s Amateur Boxer of the Year at the annual Briscoe Awards. His most noteworthy win, ωστόσο, came in May 2015 when he beat Cam Awesome in Las Vegas for the National Golden Gloves title. Rock also captured the 2015 Η.Π.Α.. National Amateur super heavyweight championship. He ended his amateur career as the number one rated super heavyweight in the United States (and the number five rated super heavyweight in the world) μετάβαση 19-5 in national tournaments. Rock made his highly anticipated professional debut, after signing an exclusive promotional agreement with Roc Nation Sports, against Rockville, Maryland’s Carlos Black on May 13, 2016, as the co-feature of Roc Nation’s throne boxing card at the Armory in Washington, D.C. Following a devastating left hook, Rock brought his opponent to the floor with a right-left combination at the 1:54 σήμα του πρώτου γύρου. Without wasting any time, Rock followed his impressive debut by demolishing his next two opponents, Bobby Favors and Hassan Lee, both by way of knockout in the first round of the respective bouts. Making his Oracle Arena debut on Αύγουστος 6, Rock looks to keep his fierce win streak alive when he takes on Mike Kyle (1-2-1, 1 KO). The Boise, Idaho native seeks to reaffirm the impression he has set on Oakland where he scored his first career win and knockout over James Kirby this past January.

 

Bilal “Rebellious” Mahasin (8-3-1, 1 KO) is no stranger to Oakland fight fans. A resident of the Bay Area’s eastern shore, Mahasin made his professional debut in 2002 with great promise, winning his first three fights. Τον Νοέμβριο του 10, 2013, he fought one of the area’s top junior welterweight fighters, Moris Rodriguez, at the Red Lion Hotel in Sacramento, Καλιφόρνια. East Bay supporters made the trek to the state’s capital for Mahasin’s triumphant return which came by way of a six-round unanimous decision. Mahasin has accrued a ring record with a majority of the results coming as wins, and has transitioned up a weight class to super welterweight. He last fought on June 11, 2016 κατά το 16ου Street Rail Station in Oakland, going the distance with a six-round unanimous decision over Vincente Guzman. Mahasin is ready to take on journeyman Luis Alfredo Lugo (14-25-1, 5 KOs) επί Αύγουστος 6 at Oracle Arena in front an ever-steadied fanfare.

 

Ward vs. Brand is a 12-round fight presented by Roc Nation Sports and sponsored by Corona Extra, Verizon, ProSupps, Λύσεις Corporate Travel Management (CTMS), Brand Jordan, Verizon, Palace παπουτσιών, Ticketmaster and The Clorox Company, supporting the Bay Area Community for over 100 χρόνια.

HANSEN AND ANDRIKUT ON COLLISION COURSE SET FOR NEF 25

 

 

ΓΙΑ ΑΜΕΣΗ ΔΗΜΟΣΙΕΥΣΗ: Lewiston, Μέιν (Ιούνιος 29, 2016) – They are two of the top light-heavyweights currently competing in New England Fights (NEF). Their respective most recent wins were both against Jesse Baughman (0-2). Both are accomplished wrestlers. At some point, Μικρόφωνο “Το Μουστάκι” Hansen (4-4) και Ματ “Το θηρίο από τη Βόρεια” Andrikut(2-0) were bound to collide. That collision will take place at “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS” επί Σεπτέμβριος 10, 2016 σε Lewiston. The mixed-martial-arts (ΜΜΑ) contest is set at a fight weight of 205-pounds.

 

Hansen is the founder of the Berserkers MMA fight team based out of the Greater Rumford Community Center in Rumford, Μέιν. He was a Maine state champion wrestling out of Mountain Valley High School. Hansen dropped his last fight to Brendan Battles (1-0) στο “NEF 23” in Hyannis, Μασαχουσέτη. He had a chance to avenge that loss and get back on the winning track this month atNEF 24,but suffered a setback when his opponent fell out the morning of weigh-ins.

 

This should be an exciting fight,” said Hansen. “Two good wrestlers ready to throw each other around sounds like a good time to me. This should be my last fight at 205 πιθανοτερο, αν και. I’m heading down to 185-170 to try my luck against guys my size. Fighting these big guys sure is exciting, but it cost my body a lot. Expect nothing less than me coming ready to break him.

 

Prior to his professional MMA career, Matt Andrikut wrestled for the University of Southern Maine (USM) and also boxed as an amateur. He was a finalist in the Northern New England Golden Gloves. During his amateur MMA career, Andrikut famously defeated Pat Walsh. Walsh would later go on to compete in the UFC and World Series of Fighting at the national level.

The event will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing® ξεκινώντας από 10:30 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/PT.

Ward vs. Brand is a 12-round fight presented by Roc Nation Sports and sponsored by Corona Extra, the motion picture HANDS OF STONE: The True Story of Roberto Duran, Λύσεις Corporate Travel Management (CTMS) and The Clorox Company, supporting the Bay Area Community for over 100 χρόνια.

 

“We can get it on, τώρα,” said Ward. “August 6ου, I will be ready, so come out to Oracle Arena or tune in live on HBO. Don’t miss it.”

 

“It will be a great honor to face Andre Ward on August 6 and better yet in his own backyard,” said Brand. “Fighting somebody with such an illustrious career, facing a guy that perhaps hasn’t lost a round in his entire life, is even more thrilling. We were set to face each other last November, but he was forced to pull out of the fight with an injury. Now the time has come to fight him and I can’t wait to derail his future plans. I’ll work hard to spoil them.”

 

“Andre Ward’s quest to become the best light heavyweight on the planet and boxing’s number one pound-for-pound fighter continues on Αύγουστος 6,” said David Itskowitch, COO of Boxing Roc Nation Sports. “Alexander Brand has been waiting for this fight since last year and we have no doubt he is going to enter the ring hungry for a huge victory. There’s a lot on the line in this fight for Andre who knows he can’t look past Brand towards a much discussed clash with Unified Light Heavyweight World Champion Sergey Kovalev.”

 

“Undefeated for the last two decades, technically brilliant and the last American man to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing, Andre Ward is one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world,” said Peter Nelson, Εκτελεστικός Αντιπρόεδρος, HBO Sports. “On August 6ου, Andre continues his move up in weight to campaign in the 175-pound division against challenger Alexander Brand in front a hometown crowd at the Oracle.”

 

Γνωστή για ισχυρό χαρακτήρα και την ακεραιότητα του έξω από το δαχτυλίδι και το ένστικτο του πολεμιστή είναι μέσα σε αυτό, 32 year-old Andre Ward’s skill and talent were apparent early in his outstanding amateur career. He racked up every title in the books, culminating in a gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Ελλάδα. As the only male American boxer to claim Olympic gold in the past

decade, Ward joined the likes of Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard and Oscar De La Hoya. He turned professional on December 18, 2004, scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Chris Molina at Staples Center in a fight that was televised live on HBO. He has gone on to rack up 27 more victories since then, building an ever-growing legion of fans in the process. After becoming the Ring Magazine and WBA Super Middleweight World Champion, rising to the number two spot on the pound-for-pound list and winning the 2011 Fighter of the Year Award (ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Ring Magazine and the Boxing Writers Association of America), it was announced that Ward signed an exclusive promotional agreement with Roc Nation Sports in January 2015, opening a new chapter in his storied boxing career. Το προϊόν Bay Area επέστρεψε στο δαχτυλίδι τον Ιούνιο 20, 2015 at the Oracle Arena in front of his hometown fans in Oakland, Καλιφόρνια και σκόραρε ένα ένατο γύρο νοκ-άουτ πάνω από Paul Smith, continuing his unbeaten streak which dates back to when he was a 12-year-old amateur. In his most recent fight on March 26, 2016, Ward made his highly publicized 175-pound debut against Cuba’s undefeated and IBF number one rated light heavyweight contender Sullivan Barrera in front of frenzied crowd at Oracle Arena that including luminaries such as Michael B. Ιορδανία, Stephen Curry, Marshawn Lynch and Draymond Green. Ward expertly managed the fight and began to unravel his opponent in the third round when he caught Barrera with a counter left hook, dropping him to the canvas. The rest was a routine victory for Ward, who scored a dominating dispatch of Barrera by way of unanimous decision after 12 γύρους. Ward looks forward to a formidable challenge in Brand who is now the only obstacle in the way of his anticipated showdown against Unified Light Heavyweight World Champion Sergey Kovalev in the fall.

 

Μπογκοτά, Colombia native Alexander Brand (25-1, 19 KOs) turned professional at the relatively late age of 32 following a long and accomplished amateur career that saw him tally over 400 νίκες. He burst on to the professional scene in 2009, scoring knockout wins in his first 12 fights and winning 15 από την πρώτη του 17 bouts inside the distance. His first and only professional setback came via an eight-round split decision loss to current WBC Super Middleweight World Champion Badou Jack in a 2012 fight that many ringside observers thought Brand had won. Από αυτόν τον αγώνα, Μάρκα έχει περάσει κάθε δοκιμή δακτυλίου με τα χρώματα πετάγματος, notching eight consecutive victories. Στην τελευταία περίοδό του, Brand faced the sternest test of his career since the Jack fight when he fought a favored, undefeated and highly touted light heavyweight Medzhid Bektemirov on December 5, 2015 at Osceola Heritage Center in Kissimmee, Φλόριντα. Brand weathered an early Bektemirov blitz, including recovering from a first round knockdown, and notched a 10-round split decision victory by the scores of 98-91, 98-91 και 94-95. Ο 39 year-old Brand, who has held several regional title including the WBC Latino Super Middleweight and the WBC Silver Interim Super Middleweight Championships, will be looking to pull off another upset on Αύγουστος 6 and thrust himself into light heavyweight title contention.

WBA Interim cruiserweight world champion & Mandatory challenger Beibut Shumenov protests Dorticos-Kalenga WBA “τακτικός” world cruiserweight title fight

LAS VEGAS (Απρίλιος 29, 2016) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Interim cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu (16-2, 10 KOs), the only Kazakhstan-native to hold world titles in two different weight classes, is disputing the WBA’s sanctioning of the WBA “τακτικός” cruiserweight world championship fight, Μάιος 20 στο Παρίσι, between two lower-ranked WBA fighters, Μη. 2 Γιουνιέρ Dorticos και αριθ. 5 Youri Kalenga (recently upgraded to No. 3).
Τον περασμένο Ιούλιο,, Shumenov defeated B.J. Λουλούδια by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the mandatory challenger for WBA “τακτικός” Cruiserweight ο πρωτοπόρος Denis Lebedev, who was later elevated to “Σούπερ” πρωταθλητής.
Lebedev hasn’t fought a mandatory defense σε ένα έτος, ειρωνικώς, when he won a 12-round decision over Kalenga, who had earned his world title shot, like Shumenov, by becoming WBA Interim world champion. The WBA granted Lebedev an extension in terms of his due mandatory defense because of the Russian’s unification fight Μάιος 21 in Moscow against International Boxing Federation (IBF) κάτοχος του τίτλου Victor Emelio Ramirez.
I’m very disappointed the WBA is sanctioning Dorticos-Kalenga for its ‘regularcruiserweight title, when I am the No. 1 ranked and current WBA Interim champion,” Shumenov είπε. “I repeatedly informed the WBA through emails, texts and verbally that I was ready to fight back in January. I preferred to fight Lebedev but I was willing to fight Dorticos or anybody else in the top 15. For the past few months, I’ve been laboring over what I believe is a very bad decision, letting two lower-ranked fighters, ο αριθ. 2 και αριθ. 3 παιδιά, fight for the WBA ‘regular’ τίτλος. I am shocked and bewildered and do not understand the WBA’s rationale to have either of these fighters declared the WBA ‘regularchampion without first defeating either Lebedev or me, the Interim champion and No. 1 rank contender.
I appealed the decision but, so far, the WBA has done little in response to my appeals other than delay and stall before finally ruling that I will fight the Lebedev-Ramirez winner months from now, ακόμη, ignoring my appeal to stop the regular title status of Dorticos-Kalenga and still sanction a fight between them, its No. 2 και αριθ. 3 rated fighters, for the WBA ‘regular’ τίτλος. This is unfair to fans, who deserve to watch the best fighting the best, especially when a world championship is at stake! We now have this odd situation where there will be three separate WBA cruiserweight fights in May, all for a different version of WBA world title I just don’t feel anyone should get the WBA ‘regulartitle without first defeating a champion or at least the top-ranked fighter in the division. The WBA knew I was and am ready to fight. Its decision makes no sense and, κατά τη γνώμη μου, diminishes the prestige and meaning of the title. I have respect for Dorticos and Kalenga but I think the legitimacy of any world title resulting from a fight between the No. 2 και αριθ. 3 ranked contenders, when the No 1 mandatory contender who already holds the WBA Interim champion is ready and available, to say the least, is highly questionable.
The WBA told me and announced to the media that it was working to have only one world champion in each division. While I’ve been sitting out the last four months waiting to fight, the WBA has decided to allow six different guys to fight for τρία WBA cruiserweight world titles, practically on the same day, instead of crowning only one WBA cruiserweight world champion. I look forward to returning to the ring and my manager, Αλ HAYMON, has advised me that I will fight in May and we will announce next week. I want to thank everyone for their support and I apologize to my family, φίλους, fans and my country, Καζακστάν, for this chaos the WBA has caused that has damaged and delayed my professional boxing career. I will move forward and continue to fight inside the ring, letting my attorneys and manager fight this unfair situation outside the ring.
