Περισσότερο! Former World Champion Rau’shee Warren Meets Unbeaten Nordine Oubaali for Vacant WBC Bantamweight Title &

Unbeaten Featherweight Jhack Tepora Takes on

Former World Champion Hugo Ruiz

LAS VEGAS (Δεκέμβριος 17, 2018) – Δύο-διαίρεση παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Badou Τζακ will battle unbeaten top-rated contender Μάρκους Μπράουν for the WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Title Saturday, Ιανουάριος 19 on the Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner SHOWTIME PPV® event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The pay-per-view undercard will also see former world champion Rau'shee Warren taking on France’s Nordine Oubaali for the vacant WBC Bantamweight World Championship in a rematch of their 2012 Olympic match up that was edged by Oubaali. In the opening bout of the four-fight PPV telecast, ανίκητος JhackTepora θα λάβει για την πρώην παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Hugo Ruiz in a 12-round featherweight clash.

Στο κύριο γεγονός, Senator Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, boxing’s only eight-division world champion, will end his two-year hiatus from a U.S. boxing ring when he returns to Las Vegas to defend his World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title against former four-division world champion and must-see attraction Adrien “Το Πρόβλημα” Broner.

Εισιτήρια για την εκδήλωση, which is promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, are on sale now and start at $100, δεν περιλαμβάνονται τα ισχύοντα τέλη παροχής υπηρεσιών, and can be purchased online through AXS.com, χρέωση στο τηλέφωνο 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

“Not only will the fans witness a tremendous main event, they will get to enjoy three action-packed match-ups that will add another level to the pay-per-view portion of the card,” δήλωσε ο Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. “Both Jhack Tepora and Hugo Ruiz are looking to make a name for themselves in the stacked featherweight division, while Rau’shee Warren and Nordine Oubaali are in the prime of their careers and battling for the WBC title. Mayweather Promotions’ Badou Jack has made an exemplary statement for his career inside and outside of the ring and is focused on further strengthening his resume, while Marcus Browne is looking to showcase his talent on boxing’s biggest stage.”

Γρύλος (22-1-3, 13 KOs) has fought twice at light heavyweight since relinquishing his super middleweight world title to campaign at 175 λίρες. The 35-year-old, who was born in Stockholm, Σουηδία, represented his father’s Gambia in the 2008 Olympics and now lives in Las Vegas. Jack won the super middleweight world title with a majority decision against Anthony Dirrell in 2015 and successfully defended the title three times before he relinquished the belt following a hard-fought majority draw against James DeGale in one 2017’s best fights. In his first bout at 175 λίρες, Jack stopped Nathan Cleverly to pick up the WBA light heavyweight title before fighting to a majority draw against Adonis Stevenson in his last fight on May 19.

“I’m looking forward to getting back onto another big stage to perform for my fans across the globe and prove I am one of the best fighters in the world,” said Jack. “I plan to show off my skills with a dominating performance on January 19. I always want to fight the best, and he’s the best that’s available right now. I’m always 100 percent ready and I’m going into this fight stronger, faster and with more experience than ever before.”

The 28-year-old Browne (22-0, 16 KOs) will be taking a step up to face an elite opponent when he battles Jack. Ένα μέλος της 2012 Η.Π.Α.. Olympic boxing team, Browne moved up the contender ladder in the 175-pound division with brute force and power, scoring three straight knockout victories against Thomas Williams, Jr., Sean Monaghan and Francy Ntetu. Browne, who was born and raised in Staten Island, Ν.Υ., scored a unanimous decision victory over Lenin Castillo in his last fight on August 4.

“This is really an honor and a privilege to have an opportunity to showcase my talents on a big time pay-per-view card featuring Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner,” Browne said. “Badou Jack is a championship-caliber fighter and one of the toughest guys you can fight in the light heavyweight division. I’m ready for the step up in competition and focused on being a household name in the sport sooner rather than later.”

Λαβύρινθος (16-2, 4 KOs) is looking to return to the world championship ranks with a victory over Oubaali. The 31-year-old became the first three-time Olympic boxer from the U.S. when he qualified for consecutive Olympic teams in 2004, 2008 και 2012. His Olympic run came to an end against Oubaali when he lost a narrow 19-18 decision in the first round of the 2012 London Games. A southpaw from Cincinnati, Οχάιο, Warren won the WBA Bantamweight World Championship with a majority decision over Juan Carlos Payano in 2016 and lost the title the next year to Zhanat Zhakiyanov by split-decision.

“This fight means everything for me and it’s about to be the biggest moment of my career,” Warren said. “Not only am I fighting for the WBC belt, but it’s on pay-per-view. When I first won the title it was like winning the gold medal at the Olympics. After I lost the title, it made me much hungrier and I want to get it back even more. I fought this guy in the Olympics, so I’m fighting for revenge. This isn’t the Olympics. This is 12 rounds and I don’t think he’s fought anybody like me. I have no choice but to put it all on the line on January 19.”

The 32-year-old Oubaali (14-0, 11 KOs), an unbeaten southpaw from Lens, Pas-de-Calais, Γαλλία, has knocked out his last five opponents. His most recent KO of Luis Melendez on April 17 moved Oubaali up the ranks to position him for a world title shot. Oubaali, who is the sixth of 18 children born in France to parents who are from Morocco, twice represented France at the Olympics, qualifying in 2008 και 2012 when he defeated Warren.

“Many people are waiting for this fight because it’s the second time we meet,” said Oubaali.”I beat Rau’shee Warren at the 2012 London Games in a great battle. In the meantime, Rau’shee captured a world championship and lost it. Αμέσως, I’m the WBC No. 1 ranked bantamweight fighter in the world. It will be a great fight in Las Vegas on January 19 and I intend to beat Rau’shee again to become the new WBC world champion.”

The 25-year-old Tepora (22-0, 17 KOs) has steadily risen up the ranks since turning pro in 2012 and most recently captured the WBA interim featherweight crown with a ninth-round stoppage of Edivaldo Ortega in July. Representing Cebu City, Φιλιππίνες, Tepora enters his U.S. debut on January 19 with stoppage wins in 11 τελευταία του 12 διαγωνισμούς.

“It has always been a dream to fight in the United States,” said Tepora. “I never dreamed that my first fight in the U.S. would be on a card with Senator Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner. I look forward to a tremendous fight on January 19 and defending my title versus former world champion Hugo Ruiz. As you all know the best rivalry in boxing is Filipino vs. Μεξικάνικος. It’s going to be a great fight.”

Fighting out of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Μεξικό, Ruiz (38-4, 33 KOs) will make his featherweight debut on January 19 after picking up two victories in 2018. The 30-year-old won a super bantamweight world title with a first round stoppage of Julio Ceja in 2016, avenging his previous loss to Ceja in one of 2015’s most exciting fights. He now seeks to position himself for a world title at 126 pounds with a victory against Tepora.

“I expect it to be a good fight because Tepora is undefeated and a good Filipino champion,” said Ruiz. “But I’m ready. I don’t think he can handle my power. Πάω να τον χτυπήσει έξω. I want to do my best to win the title. I’ve been watching videos of him and I’ve been training hard. I’m really focused on how to beat him. I’m still young, but I’ve got the experience to handle him in this fight.”

Hosea Burton calls out Anthony Yarde for British Light Heavyweight clash

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

(L-R) – Head trainer Joe Gallagher & Hosea Burton

ΤΟΡΟΝΤΟ (Δεκέμβριος 7, 2018) — Former British light heavyweight champion Hosea Burton has never been one to duck a fight. Όντως, he’s looking for a fight.

Burton has made his intentions known, calling out undefeated Anthony Yarde, man to man, to his face. The two recently encountered one another during Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder fight week in Los Angeles, Καλιφόρνια, where Burton was on-hand to support his cousin, Μανία.

“Let’s make the fight happen,” Burton told Yarde. “We’re both excited about it. They say I’m not up to you, but let’s get it going man.” Burton has gone undefeated for two years, since suffering his lone career defeat at the hands of Frank Buglioni, a fight in which he was winning prior to a final round stoppage. Buglioni has recently retired from the sport, leaving Burton to set his sights on Yarde, rather than avenging his defeat first.

Yarde recently scored a knockout victory over Walter Sequeira, Οκτώβριος 20 in Brentwood, βελτιώνοντας το ρεκόρ του 17-0 με 16 knockouts. Burton, ωστόσο, hasn’t been impressed.

“If he’s six foot, I must be six foot nine, because he’s a lot shorter than that,” Burton said of Yarde’s stature. “I would be his first live opponent. Let’s get it on.”

Yarde’s world ranking would play well into Burton’s plans in 2019, which include fighting for a world title after recapturing his domestic gold.

“This would be one of the biggest domestic light heavyweight fights in UK history. Everyone is already placing Yarde amongst the world’s best, but the fact is, he has to get past Hosea,” noted Adam Harris of Athlete Development and Management. “We believe Hosea is the one who’s ready to go after a world title. Let’s have it out and find out who’s right.”

Burton also plans on showcasing his skills in Canada in the new year, following in the footsteps of his cousin Tyson, the lineal heavyweight champion of the world.

Both Tyson and his cousin, Hughie Fury, fought in Canada early in their pro careers, and have held training camps in the Great White North as well. “Some of the best in the world have been coming to Canada to accelerate their careers,” Harris noted, “including Billy Joe Saunders before his most recent fights and, φυσικά, Tyson in the past. We have a special relationship with the country, and the fight scene in Toronto is booming in a way we’ve never seen before. We have no doubt Hosea will be appreciated and find plenty of competition north of the border.”

Το Σάββατο, Δεκέμβριος 1, at the Galaktika Culture Centre in Sochi, Ρωσία, Umar Salamov will defend his Eurasian Boxing Parliament and WBO International Light Heavyweight Championships when he faces once-beaten Emmanuel “Horse Power” Anim in an explosive 10-round showdown.

 

 

 

Salamov (22-1, 17 KOs), from Alkhan-Kala, Ρωσία, is currently ranked WBC #10, WBA #13, IBF #7 and WBO #10 στον κόσμο. Anim (13-1-1, 11 KOs), from Accra, Γκάνα, is a former Ghanaian Super Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Champion. The fight will also be televised live in Russia on Match TV.

 

 

 

“I take every fight seriously,” said Salamov. “My preparations have been excellent for this match. I scored a KO in all my wins this year and I’ll do it again on December 1.”

 

 

 

Salamov caught the boxing public’s eye in North America last June with a brutal one-punch knockout over respectable prospect Brian Howard. With top-10 rankings by every major sanctioning body, it’s a matter of time for the 24-year-old slugger.

 

 

 

“The light heavyweight division is one of the most talent-packed in boxing,” said Salamov’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “Umar is one of the best in the world and with an impressive victory on December 1, he will be one step closer to reaching his goal of becoming a world champion.”

Simply the best….. Roy Jones, Jr.

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο
Ένωση Αποφοίτων Πυγμαχίας ΗΠΑ, Τάξη του 2018 Inductee

COLORADO SPRINGS, Αγκαλιά. (Σεπτέμβριος 6, 2018) – Living legend Roy Jones, Jr., universally recognized as one of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers of all-time, leads a celebrated quintet of Class of 2018 inductees into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

The second annual USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame reception, held in conjunction with the 2018 USA Boxing Elite and Youth National Championships and Junior and Prep Open, Δεκέμβριος 2-8, will be held Dec. 7, at the Radisson Hotel (215 S. Temple St.) in Salk Lake City, Γιούτα.

 

 

 

 

Εκτός από την Jones, η κατηγορία του 2018 also includes two U.S. Olympic gold medalists and world (επαγγελματίας) champions, Andre Ward και Claressa Shields, as well as former USA Boxing National Director of Coaching Emanuel Steward and veteran USA Boxing official Tom Cleary. The latter two will be posthumously inducted.

 

 

 

The charter class inducted last year included Muhammad Ali και Evander Holyfield, as well as veteran coaches Roosevelt Sanders και Tom Coulter.

 

 

 

“I am honored to be selected for induction into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” Jones commented, “especially as a member of this great class with my fellow inductees.

 

 

 

“Amateur boxing gave me the chance to learn life skills as well as face every other possible scenario inside of the ring.”

 

 

 

Jones, ειρωνικώς, got into boxing at the age of 11 because of Ali. “I saw Ali vs. (Joe) Frazierand just felt as though Ali and I had the same mental concept on life,” Jones explained.

 

 

 

Jones went on to become one of the best amateur boxers in the world, compiling a reported 121-13 ρεκόρ, including gold medal performances at the 1984 National Junior Olympics and 1986 & 1987 National Golden Gloves Tournaments.

 

 

 

Στο 1988 Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες στη Σεούλ, Νότια Κορέα, Jones reached the championship final of the light middleweight division against Park Si-Hun, της Νότιας Κορέας. Jones suffered arguably the worst decision in boxing history, losing 3-2, despite outpunching his opponent, 86 να 32 landed punches, and he was forced to settle for a silver medal. Even his opponent admitted that Jones won their fight, leading the AIBA to later suspend the three judges who selected the hometown fighter as the winner.

 

 

 

How disgraceful was this decision? Jones was selected as the Val Barker Trophy winner as the best boxer of the 1988 Olympics and, due to controversy, the scoring system for Olympic boxing was changed, replacing the 20-point must system with electronic scoring.

 

 

 

“I was angered,” Jones admitted, “yet promoted to prove that I was the best fighter there, and in the world, at that time.”

 

 

 

Jones made his professional debut May 6, 1989, at home in Pensacola, Φλόριντα, in a scheduled eight-round bout, in which RJJ stopped Ricky Randall στο δεύτερο γύρο. His long, glorious journey has produced a remarkable 66-9 (47 KOs) pro record, highlighted by nine major world titles in four different weight classes.

 

 

 

Σε 2003, Jones defeated John Ruiz by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the first former world middleweight champion to become world heavyweight title holder in more than a century.

 

 

 

The possessor of exceptional hand and foot speed, αθλητισμού, movement and reflexes, Jones went undefeated through his first 34 αγώνες υπέρ, 22-3 (14) σε αγώνες παγκόσμιου τίτλου. Against former, present or future world champions, Jones was 19-9 (8 KOs) and included among his victims were greats such as Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, Mike McCallum,Vinnie Pazienza, Βιργίλιος Χιλ, Antonio Tarver και Felix Τρινιδάδ.

 

 

 

Σήμερα, the 49-year-old Jones, technically speaking, is still an active fighter. He also has two promotional companies and gyms, located in Pensacola and Las Vegas, trains several pro boxers and serves as a color commentator for HBO Boxing. He recently opened gyms in South Africa.

 

 

 

For the past two years, Jones has hosted the “Future Stars of Boxing Tournament” στο Λας Βέγκας, showcasing some of the best amateur boxers in the world.

 

 

 

“Hosting the tournament in Las Vegas gives me the opportunity to give back to amateur boxing,” Jones explained. “It’s a great experience for the boxers and it reminds them that who they may have or still look up to, are watching them as well.”

“When USA Boxing alumni discuss their favorite fighters,” είπε Κρις Κούλιαρι, Εκτελεστικός Διευθυντής της Ένωσης Αποφοίτων Πυγμαχίας των ΗΠΑ, “Roy Jones is near the top of everyone’s list. His spectacular talent, dedication to his craft, and infectious personality make him a no-brainer to headline this year’s Hall of Fame class. He continues to give back to amateur boxing and support the next generation. Roy deserves to be celebrated for all he has accomplished, and we look forward to honoring him in December.”

George Foreman: “(Jones) hits like a heavyweight and moved like a lightweight.”

 

Montell Griffin: “Floyd (Mayweather, Jr.) was no comparison as far as speed. Roy was much faster.”

 

Mike McCallum: “(Jones is) the greatest fighter of all time.”

 

 

 

 

If he ever hangs-up his gloves for good, Roy Jones, Jr. will be a first ballot inductee into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. There may never be another boxer quite like RJJ.

Russian Contenders Salamov, Idigov and Davtaev Score Impressive Victories in Grozny

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

All three of Salita Promotions’ Russia-based contenders, light heavyweight Umar Salamov, super middleweight Aslambek “The Hulk” Idigov and heavyweight Apti Davtaev scored impressive victories in Russia today.

 

 

 

Fighting in the main event at the Grozny City Hotel in Grozny, and live in Russia on Match TV, IBF #11- and WBO #15-rated Umar Salamov moved to 22-1, 17 KOs with a two-round KO over Denis Liebau (23-3, 21 KOs) of Frankfurt Germany.

 

 

 

Fighting for the WBO International Light Heavyweight Championship, Salamov came out firing in round two, landing a perfect left hook to the body that dropped Liebau for the count. The official time was 2:15.

 

 

 

WBO #14-rated super middleweight Aslambek Idigov (14-0, 6 KOs) destroyed former African champion Daniel Wanyonyi (27-13-2, 22 KOs) of Kenya in two brutal rounds. Idigov dropped Wanyonyi three times with a series of brutal right hands. The fight was waved off at 2:32. Idigov is now the WBO Asia Pacific Super Middleweight Champion.

 

 

 

Heavyweight crusher Apti Davtaev (16-0-1, 15 KOs) took out the Ukraine’s Evgeny German Skobenko in six dominant rounds. A serious prospect in the big man’s division, Davtaev was way too powerful for the normally capable Skobenko, pushing him around until the fateful round, where a solid mix of unanswered shots brought an end at 2:40.

 

 

 

“All three fighters did their jobs well today,” said their co-promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “They are all future champions and they looked the part today against respectable opponents. I am proud of all them. The work they have been doing at Kronk Gym is really showing through in their dominant performances.”

Russia’s Umar Salamov to Face Germany’s Denis Liebau in Explosive Light Heavyweight Clash on September 5 in Grozny

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

On Wednesday, Σεπτέμβριος 5, fearless Russian light heavyweight contender Umar Salamov (21-1, 16 KOs) will risk his IBF #11 and WBO #15 rankings when he takes on treacherous KO puncher Denis Liebau (23-2, 21 KOs) of Frankfurt Germany, for the WBO International Light Heavyweight Championship.

 

 

 

The explosive 10-round showdown will be held in the Amphitheater at the five-star Grozny City Hotel in Salamov’s hometown of Grozny, Ρωσία, and televised live in Russia on Match TV.

 

 

 

Eager for a shot at the world championship, Salamov has lately been honing his craft at the world-famous Kronk Gym in Detroit, while issuing public challenges to dangerous world champions Eleider Alvarez (WBO) and Dmitry Bivol (WBA). He was last seen in the ring in June, winning the IBF North American Championship by scoring an impressive ninth-round knockout over Brian Howard, live on Showtime.

 

 

 

“I love training in Detroit,” said Salamov. “I am excited to be back in the ring fighting for the prestigious WBO International belt. I’ve already held this title and I feel it belongs to me. I am the best light heavyweight in the world and look forward to proving that point in an impressive way on September 5, in front of my hometown fans.

 

 

 

Already known for going right at every hard-punching opponent he faces, Salamov says he’s going to be even more relentless against Liebau.

 

 

 

“I will be looking for another knockout,"Είπε. “Working with Head Trainer Javan “Sugar” Hill Stewart and my co-trainer Rick Philips has taught me so many new things. I am in incredible shape and I feel like it is impossible to beat me right now.”

 

 

 

“Umar’s world-class experience, skills and now a world class training regimen make him one of the best light heavyweights in the world,” said Salamov’s co-promoter, Dmitriy Salita (along with Kazbek Aslambekov of KA-Promotions). “Umar is facing a real experienced challenger in Denis Liebau, but I know he is poised for an impressive victory. He wants to make a statement and put the names in the division on notice. I know that he will put his skill set on display and will be impressive September 5.”

Umar Salamov Challenges Light Heavyweight Champions Bivol and Alvarez

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

 

Russian light heavyweight contender Umar Salamov (21-1, 16 KOs) is issuing a challenge to newly crowned WBO Champ Eleider Alvarez and WBA ruler Dmitry Bivol.

 

 

 

While many of the top 175-lb fighters would prefer to avoid Alvarez and Bivol, two of the hardest punchers in the division, the 24-year-old Salamov says he’s up for the challenge any time.

 

 

 

Both Alvarez and Bivol appeared on national television over the weekend, with Alvarez scoring an upset KO over Sergei Kovalev and Bivol defending his title with a lackluster decision over Isaac Chilemba.

 

 

 

“I saw their fights and I can confidently tell you that when I get my opportunity, I will dethrone both Bivol and Alvarez,” said Salamov. “I am the best light heavyweight in the world and look forward to proving it to the boxing fans by fighting the best!"

 

 

 

IBF #11- and WBO #15-rated Salamov was last seen in June, scoring a highlight reel ninth-round knockout over Brian Howard, live on Showtime. The impressive victory won him the vacant IBF North American Championship. In his young career, he has also already won the IBO Youth and World Light Heavyweight, WBO Youth World, European and International, and the IBF East/West Europe Light Heavyweight Championships.

 

 

 

“After his US debut in June, I am very confident that it’s just a matter of time before he wins a World light Heavyweight title,” said his co-promoter, Dmitriy Salita (along with Kazbek Aslambekov of KA-Promotions). “At only 24 ετών, and with the amount of talent and experience he has, the sky is the limit for Umar in the light heavyweight division.”

 

 

 

Salamov is currently training in Detroit at the Kronk Boxing Gym. His next fight will be announced shortly.

Το Σάββατο Έκανα το ταξίδι δυτικά από το σπίτι μου στο Λονδίνο στην όμορφη πόλη του Κάρντιφ για την εκδήλωση που προωθείται ο Owen Watkins στο Ice Arena Wales.

Η διοργάνωση επρόκειτο να είναι επικεφαλής της πολυαναμενόμενης σύγκρουσης για τον τίτλο βαρέων βαρών της Ουαλίας μεταξύ του Χάρι Μάιλς και του Ντόριαν Νταρτς., για το World Boxing Foundation (WBF) Ευρωπαϊκό Πρωτάθλημα Βαρέων Βαρών. Ωστόσο, ο αγώνας έπρεπε να αναβληθεί καθώς ο Darch δεν μπόρεσε να λάβει μέρος λόγω αποκλεισμού που έλαβε μετά από έναν αγώνα σε διαφορετική διοργάνωση λίγες εβδομάδες πριν.

Παρά αυτή την αποτυχία, ο Owen Watkins είχε αποφασίσει ότι το σόου πρέπει να συνεχιστεί και είμαι ευχαριστημένος που έκανε αυτή την επιλογή, καθώς το προγραμματισμένο undercard περιείχε αρκετούς ερασιτέχνες κορυφαίας κατηγορίας, ανυπομονούσα να παρακολουθήσω κάνοντας το επαγγελματικό τους ντεμπούτο.

Πρώτα ήταν το ντεμπούτο του Carl Thomas εναντίον του Kyle McNicholas σε έναν διαγωνισμό ελαφρών βαρέων βαρών τεσσάρων γύρων.

Και τα δύο παιδιά άρχισαν πολύ καλά να επιδεικνύουν τις αντίστοιχες δεξιότητές τους στην πυγμαχία.

Καθώς ο γύρος προχωρούσε, ο Thomas αύξησε την πίεση, στηρίζοντας τον McNicholas στα σχοινιά και άρχισε να αφήνει να σκίσει με πυροβολισμούς στο σώμα και το κεφάλι του Liverpudlian.

Καθώς ο γύρος προχωρούσε στο τελευταίο λεπτό, ο Τόμας πέτυχε ένα κράξιμο ακριβώς στο κεφάλι που τίναξε τον ΜακΝίκολας στον πυρήνα, Ο Thomas ακολούθησε με ένα αριστερό στο σώμα και ακολούθησε σχεδόν αμέσως ένα μεγάλο αριστερό στο σώμα που έστειλε τον McNicholas στον καμβά.

Παραδόξως ο McNicholas έκανε την καταμέτρηση, σίγουρα τους κάνουν σκληρούς στο Merseyside, καθώς αυτό ήταν ένα μοχθηρό σώμα που πυροβολήθηκε ακριβώς κάτω από το κάτω πλευρό, απλά δεν βλέπεις ανθρώπους να σηκώνονται μετά από αυτούς τόσο συχνά.

Στην επανεκκίνηση ο Thomas επέστρεψε κατευθείαν στην επίθεση, πρώτα χτύπησε ένα άκαμπτο τρύπημα ακολουθούμενο από άλλο ένα τσίμπημα αριστερά στο σώμα και ένα διπλό δεξιά στο κεφάλι.

Ο Τόμας συνέχισε την πίεση, πιπερώνοντας τον McNicholas με έναν κακό συνδυασμό σώματος και κεφαλιού, ακολουθούμενο από ένα άλλο καλό σκληρό τρύπημα για να φέρει τον McNicholas σε μια ουδέτερη γωνία πριν τον αφήσει να σκίσει με ένα εντυπωσιακό αριστερό άγκιστρο στο σώμα, που έστειλε Ο ΜακΝίκολας πέφτει για δεύτερη φορά.

Ο διαιτητής Ρότζερ Ράιλι άρχισε την καταμέτρηση και μόλις έφτασε στο οκτώ σημείο μέτρησης ο ΜακΝίκολας άρχισε να προσπαθεί και να ανέβει χωρίς επιτυχία, αφήνοντας στον διαιτητή άλλη επιλογή από το να λύσει τον αγώνα ακριβώς όπως χτυπούσε το κουδούνι για να σηματοδοτήσει το τέλος του πρώτου γύρου.

Είμαι στην ευχάριστη θέση να πω ότι ο McNicholas ήταν απολύτως εντάξει και στάθηκε στα πόδια του λίγο μετά.

Οι τελευταίες μου σκέψεις για τον συγκεκριμένο αγώνα είναι; μπορεί να κράτησε μόνο έναν γύρο, αλλά τι τρομερός γύρος ήταν.

Στη συνέχεια, δείτε τον Kacper Dudzinski να κάνει το ντεμπούτο του στον επαγγελματία ενάντια στον Michael Kelly του Μπέλφαστ σε έναν διαγωνισμό Super Welterweight τεσσάρων γύρων.

Ακριβώς από το τέρμα ο Ντουντζίνσκι πήρε πίσω από το σοβαρό δυνατό τρύπημα του και άρχισε να ελέγχει τη διαδικασία με γρήγορα χέρια και σκληρά διπλά τρύπημα.

Η Κέλλυ δεν είναι κούπα, ούτε στην καλύτερη περίπτωση, είναι τόσο έξυπνος όσο έρχονται, αλλά ακόμη κι εκείνος έπρεπε να δεχτεί να πάρει αμυντική στάση και να περιμένει υπομονετικά κάθε ευκαιρία, όσο λεπτό κι αν είναι, να μετρήσει, που για να είμαι ειλικρινής ήταν ελάχιστες.

Ο Dudzinski εντυπωσίασε σοβαρά απέναντι στην Kelly και έχει φανταστικό μέλλον στο άθλημα.

Μπορεί να ήταν το ντεμπούτο του, αλλά με βάση τις επιδόσεις του Σάββατο νύχτα, ενάντια σε έναν πρώην γνήσιο αμφισβητία του τίτλου, Πιστεύω ότι θα φτάσει μέχρι την κορυφή και το αξίζει επίσης, όποιος μπορεί να κρατήσει την Kelly στο πίσω πόδι όπως έκανε ο Dudzinski για σχεδόν τους τέσσερις γύρους είναι χωρίς αμφιβολία κάτι ιδιαίτερο.

Μην με παρεξηγείτε, η Kelly πέτυχε μερικά χτυπήματα, αλλά η εντυπωσιακά γρήγορη ταχύτητα του χεριού και η εξαιρετική άμυνα του Dudzinski κράτησαν αυτές τις ευκαιρίες στο ελάχιστο..

Ωραία μικρή πινελιά από την Kelly αργά στον τελικό γύρο, μετά από μια κίνηση αντίδρασης «στυλ μήτρας»., που παραλίγο να τον εμπόδισε να αγγίξει ένα γάντι κάτω, ωστόσο, προς μεγάλη του ενόχληση έλαβε μια καταμέτρηση από τον διαιτητή Chris Kelly, αν και η Κέλι ήταν πεπεισμένη ότι στην πραγματικότητα είχε αποφύγει το γάντι του να αγγίξει τον καμβά, αλλά αντί να σταθεί εκεί και να διαμαρτυρηθεί, έπεσε κάτω και προχώρησε σε push ups σε όλη την καταμέτρηση για να δείξει την αποδοκιμασία του, προς μεγάλη χαρά του πλήθους.

Μετά από τέσσερις λαμπρούς γύρους, δεν ήταν έκπληξη το γεγονός ότι ήταν ο Dudzinski του οποίου το χέρι κρατήθηκε ψηλά – το επίσημο αποτέλεσμα έδειξε τον Dudzinski να σημείωσε την παρθενική του νίκη υπέρ με έναν 40-35 περιθώριο σημεία.

Επόμενος ήταν ο Ben McGivern εναντίον του Ben Hough σε έναν διαγωνισμό τεσσάρων γύρων Cruiserweight.

Τι ένας αγώνας, Ο McGivern διευθύνει κυρίως τις διαδικασίες, πιέζοντας τον Hough στο πίσω πόδι καθώς και τα σχοινιά για ένα καλό κομμάτι της πρώτης στροφής. Ο Hough μπορεί να ήταν στην άμυνα για ένα μεγάλο μέρος του πρώτου, αλλά όταν παρουσιάστηκαν οι ευκαιρίες τις πήρε με στυλ.

Ήταν ουσιαστικά μια πλήρης ανατροπή στον δεύτερο γύρο, με τον Χιου να κάνει τον έλεγχο της πάλης και να βάζει τον ΜακΓκίβερν στο πίσω πόδι, και σχοινιά, παρόμοιο με τον τρόπο που ο Σκωτσέζος είχε προπονήσει τον πρώτο γύρο.

Η τρίτη στροφή ήταν μια πολύ πιο σκληρή υπόθεση, τόσο πολύ που δυσκολεύτηκα να τα χωρίσω, σημεία σοφά.

Το τέταρτο ξεκίνησε λίγο πολύ καθώς τελείωσε το τρίτο, με τους δύο πρωταγωνιστές να πηγαίνουν για αυτό σφυρί και λαβίδα, αλλά καθώς ο Γύρος προχωρούσε, ο McGivern ανέβασε αρκετά τον ρυθμό για να εξασφαλίσει όχι μόνο τον γύρο, αλλά και τη νίκη.

Μετά από τέσσερις συγκλονιστικούς γύρους δράσης, όπως έδωσα παραπάνω, ήταν ο ΜακΓκίβερν που βγήκε νικητής, ο διαιτητής Roger Riley σκοράρει τον εξαιρετικό αγώνα 39-37 υπέρ του Σκωτσέζου.

Μετά τον αγώνα και οι δύο πυγμάχοι συμφώνησαν σε ένα rematch, το οποίο με έχουν ενημερωθεί αξιόπιστα είναι πιθανό να πραγματοποιηθεί στο Λίβερπουλ στις 8, Σεπ – βάλε την ημερομηνία στο ημερολόγιό σου αυτός είναι ένας αγώνας που δεν πρέπει να χάσει κανείς!

Ο προτελευταίος αγώνας της βραδιάς βλέπε Blackwood, Νότια Ουαλία’ Liam Preece εναντίον πολύ, πολύ καθυστερημένη αντικατάσταση του Πεντεφοέλα, Βόρεια Ουαλία’ Ο Steffan Hughes σε έναν all Welsh διαγωνισμό.

Τι τρέλα ήταν αυτός ο αγώνας, ήταν ένα θρίλερ δράσης από την αρχή μέχρι το τελευταίο κουδούνι.

Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη ότι ο Preece είχε ένα σημαντικό μειονέκτημα βάρους να αντιμετωπίσει, το πήγε πραγματικά, παίρνοντας τον αγώνα στους πιο έμπειρους του, και πιο βαρύ, αντίπαλος.

Ο Preece εγκιβωτίστηκε με αυτοπεποίθηση όχι μόνο όταν βρίσκεται στην επίθεση αλλά και όταν αμύνεται ενάντια στα ακριβή exocets που εκτοξεύει ο Hughes.

Ο Preece ήταν εντυπωσιακός καθ' όλη τη διάρκεια, και είμαι βέβαιος ότι δεν εξέπληξε κανέναν στο Ice Arena Wales όταν η κάρτα του διαιτητή Chris Kelly διαβάστηκε ως 40-36 νίκη βαθμών για το Παίδων της Νότιας Ουαλίας.

Ο τελευταίος αγώνας επαγγελματιών της βραδιάς αντιμετώπισε τον Levi Griffiths του πρώην ερασιτέχνη αστέρα Port Talbot με υψηλή βαθμολογία και τον Scott McIntyre της Liverpool.

Ο Γκρίφιθς είναι τόσο γλαφυρός, ο αριστοκρατικός νεαρός ξεκίνησε καλά και πέτυχε μερικές τσιμπημένες βολές, κάτι που ανάγκασε τον McIntyre να μεταβεί στο «πλάνο Β» από νωρίς σε μια προσπάθεια να κρατηθεί στο εσωτερικό για να αποτρέψει τον Ουαλό από το να βάλει τα δυνατά του χτυπήματα..

Το σχέδιο Β του McIntyre μπορεί να μην ήταν όμορφο, αλλά αγόρι ω αγόρι ήταν πολύ αποτελεσματικό.

Μετά το αρχικό «ανοιχτό’ περίοδος, που επέτρεψε στον γλαφυρό Ουαλό να πετύχει ένα καλό επίπεδο επιτυχίας, η πλειοψηφία του καυγά θα μπορούσε να είχε γίνει σε τηλεφωνική θυρίδα.

Ο ΜακΙντάιρ προφανώς δεν είχε καμία πρόθεση να δώσει στον Γκρίφιθς την ευκαιρία να τον αφήσει να ρίξει με μεγάλες βολές, απλά τον κράτησε δεμένο καθ' όλη τη διάρκεια, μερικές φορές με άδικα μέσα, τόσο πολύ που μετά από πολυάριθμες προειδοποιήσεις για κράτημα ή μη σπάσιμο όταν του το λένε, Ο διαιτητής Ρότζερ Ράιλι αφαίρεσε έναν βαθμό, Ωστόσο, ακόμη και αυτή η αφαίρεση βαθμών δεν θα εμπόδιζε τον άνδρα της Λίβερπουλ να εξασφαλίσει τη νίκη, η επίσημη βαθμολογία είναι 39-36.

Πρέπει να πω, ενώ προσωπικά απογοητεύτηκα που ο αγώνας για τον ευρωπαϊκό τίτλο Miles-Darch WBF δεν πραγματοποιήθηκε, Ο υποστηρικτής Owen Watkins είχε δημιουργήσει μια τέτοια κάρτα υποστήριξης κορυφαίας κατηγορίας που εγώ, καθώς και είμαι βέβαιος ότι όλοι οι άλλοι παρευρισκόμενοι είχαν την Pugilistic τους όρεξη καλά και πραγματικά χορτασμένοι από τον προσφερόμενο ναύλο και ανυπομονούν για την επόμενη προώθησή του, που θα πραγματοποιηθεί στο Cwrt Herbert Leisure Centre στο Neath στο 22τον Σεπτέμβριο.

TARGETING SERGEY KOVALEV TITLE SHOT IN THE FALL
“SLUGFEST AT THE SUN” ΑΠΟΤΕΛΕΣΜΑΤΑ

Uncasville, Conn. (Ιούλιος 1, 2018) – Returning to the ring after an 11-month layoff due to a broken jaw, Joe “Το Θηρίο” Μεταλλουργός, Jr. provided early fireworks last night (Σάββατο, Ιούνιος 30) in the latest installment in the popular “Slugfest at The Sun” σειρά, presented by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, στο Mohegan Sun Arena σε Uncasville, Κονέκτικατ.

 

 

 

“Slugfest at The Sun” was taped live and will air Ιούλιος 19, 8 -10 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ, επί New England Sports Network (NESN). Star Boxing’s next event, “Rockin’ αγώνες”,Σεπτέμβριος 21 at the Paramount in Huntington, Νέα Υόρκη, will also air via tape- delay on NESN.

 

 

 

Rated No. 3 και αριθ. 7 στον κόσμο, αντίστοιχα, από το World Boxing Συμβουλίου (WBC) and World Boxing Association (WBA), Μεταλλουργός (24-2, 20 KOs) hurt Melvin “The Romantic Redneck” Russell (11-5-2, 7 KOs) with the first punch he landed and finished the show, two devastating knockdowns later, στον πρώτο γύρο.

 

 

 

“I hit him with a decent shot when I was walking him down and saw that I hurt him,” Τζο Σμιθ Τζούνιορ. εξηγείται. “Έτσι, I looked to end it. I would have liked to have gotten some rust off, but I’m happy with my performance. My jaw feels great.”

 

 

 

“We’re looking to go to the top,” Smith’s promoter Joe DeGuardia δήλωσε. “Joe’s plan and goal has always been to be world champion. We wanted (Σεργκέι) Kovalev before this fight, but it didn’t work out. We’re hoping to get him in the fall.”

 

 

 

“Kovalev looks great, he motivates me,” Smith noted. “I think I can take advantage of his conditioning.”

 

 

 

Coming off her historic fight this past May against the undefeated Queen of Boxing Cecelia Breakhus, who won a 10-round decision in the first female fight to air on HBO, three-time world champion Kali “KO Mequinonoag” Reis (14-7-1, 4 KOs) cruised past Mexican welterweight Patty “Las Elegante” Ραμίρεζ (11-6, 5 KOs), πρώην αμφισβητίας παγκόσμιου τίτλου, winning all eight rounds.

 

 

 

“She was a survivor,” Reis commented. “There was a lot we wanted to work on, πυροβολισμούς σωμάτων, jabs and more … getting more comfortable. I executed the plan my corner gave me and got the job done.

 

 

 

A Native American from Rhode Island, Reis wants a rematch with Breakhus, “I know I need to stay busy, active and remain fighting at welterweight to get the rematch,” Reis added. “I’m going to stay on her tail. I’ll be ready when it happens, I really want it to happen.”

 

 

 

In the television opener, undefeated junior welterweight “Δράση” Άντονι Λαουράνο (8-0 3KO του) lived up to his nickname, never taking a backwards step, as he pounded Juan Rodriguez (8-10-1 6KO του) in the center of the ring from the opening bell through the end for a dominant six-round unanimous decision. Ο 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion Laureano, who fights out of East Hartford, CT, put on an entertaining show in front of his large, loud contingent of fans. Laureano effectively used every punch in his vast arsenal to break down a tough, game Rodriguez.

 

 

 

“I thought I did well,” Laureano said after the fight, “but I’d like to see more angles. I want to see more power, πάρα πολύ. It’s there, he felt it; it’s coming. I have a long road. Επόμενη αγώνα, I’d like to have an eight-rounder. We’re adding more people to the team. I hope everyone see that I’m getting better each fight. I have more tools and my discipline is there.”

 

 

 

Αήττητο κατώτερο middleweight Wendy “Haitian Fire” Toussaint (9-0, 3 KOs) lit up an overwhelmed Andy Gonzalez (6-3, 5 KOs), battering him from pillar to post, until referee Steve Willis waved off the fight in the third round. Haiti-native Toussaint, now living in Huntington, Νέα Υόρκη, used his superior power and speed to make an impressive statement.

 

 

 

Popular South Boston southpaw Joe Farina (3-0, 2 KOs) overcame a flash knockdown during the opening seconds of the fight, using a relentless attack to defeat junior welterweight Steve Moore (1-4, 1 KO), by way of a four-round split decision.

 

 

 

Irish junior welterweight “Lethal” Larry Fryers (formerly known as Gleeson) βελτίωσε το αρχείο του σε 7-1 (2 KOs) with a six-round unanimous decision over Άντονι Γουντς (1-7-1). Fighting out of Yonkers NY, Fryers floored Woods with a left hook at the end of round two. Woods was penalized a point near the end of the final round for an intentional head butt.

 

 

 

Former U. of New Haven basketball star Cassius Chaney (13-0, 7 KOs), fighting out of New London (CT), κράτησε το αήττητο ρεκόρ του άθικτο, dropping Mexican heavyweight Elder Hernandez (5-3, 3 KOs) twice before referee Willis halted the match near the end of the opening round.

 

 

 

The opening bout of the evening ended in the second round and ruled a “Δεν Διαγωνισμός” because of an accidental head butt that left both fighters — William “Το Silent Assassin” Foster III (8-0, 6 KOs) και Tyrome Jones (4-3-1, 1 KO) – with serious head cuts and unable to continue.
