MASHANTUCKET, CT (Junie 4, 2017) – The amazing comeback of Matt “Sharp Shooter” Remillard continued last night as the popular Connecticut lightweight stopped Fatiou Fassinou in die Broadway Boxing headliner held in Fox Theater, at Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, CT.
Die Broadway Boxing series is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and presented by Nissan of Queens, Azad Watches, OPTYX, and Christos Steak House.
Remillard, 30, was the No. 2-ranked featherweight in the world in 2011, when he lost to future world champion Mikey Garcia (LRTD11). Fighting out of Manchester, CT, tonight’s fight was Remillard’s first in his home state in six-and-a-half years, due to him serving a five-year prison sentence. He returned to the ring this past April, taking an eight-round decision from Agustine Mauras, in Worcester, MA.
In die eerste ronde, Remillard (25-1, 14 Uitklophoue) and the slick Benin-native, former WBC International Silver champion Fassinou (27-6-3, 14 Uitklophoue) got to know each other as both fighters were cautious. Remillard opened up in the second round, using his left to the body, dropping Fassinou in his corner during the final seconds. Remillard pressed the action in the third, peppering Fassinou around the ring in his familiar punishing style, putting Fassinou in his “Sharp Shooter” sights for target practice in the fourth. Fassinou failed to answer the bell for the fifth round.
“Against a southpaw, the left hook to the liver is there, a punch I’m known for,” Remillard commented after the fight. “He was a little sloppier than I expected. Ek het goed gevoel; Ek is 24/7 in the gym. Maybe I’ll have one more fight this year to get in some rounds, and then get ready for a big 2018. I want a rematch with Garcia, by 135 of 140 pond, 100-persent. He owes me a rematch. The guy he beat wasn’t me.”
Ruslan Shamalov (L) & George Arias turned in the Fight of the Night
In die mede-funksie, two New York City-based heavyweights, 6’5″ Russiese Ruslan Shamalov (4-1, 3 Uitklophoue) and Dominican “Gentleman” George Arias (7-0, 3 Uitklophoue), fighting out of Brooklyn and the Bronx, onderskeidelik, put their undefeated records on the line. Shamalov’s power punches rocked the much shorter 5’11” Arias in the first round, but Arias stayed off the ropes and boxed much better in the second. The two fighters exchanged bombs throughout a terrific third round and, somehow, the fourth was even better with back-and-forth, non-stop action. The pace subsided slightly in the fifth round, setting the stage for a bombs-away sixth and final frame that didn’t disappoint.
Shamalov and Arias fought a furious pace, especially for heavyweights, in a legitimate six-round “Stryd van die Jaar” kandidaat. Arias, the leader of Team Wash Em’ Up in the Bronx, won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54, 59-55, en 58-56.
“This win was humungous for me,” said an overjoyed Arias, after his first six-round fight. “I had a game plan, but once he hurt me in the first round, my heart took over and I just fought. I like to fight for the people, so I held on in the first instead of taking a knee.”
Mykquan Williams (R) celebrated his high school graduation a little early
Crowd favorite “Wonderlike” Mykquan Williams (7-0, 4 Uitklophoue) gave himself an early high school graduation present as the East Hartford fighter defeated Nicaraguan welterweight Ariel “La Guerra” Vasquez (13-18-2, 9 Uitklophoue) in the former’s first six-round bout. The 19-year-old Williams, a five-time national amateur champion, is a budding star with tremendous upside. Poised beyond his years, Williams controlled the pace against his battle-tested southpaw opponent, wat 11 years Williams’ senior, displaying his vast arsenal of punches, especially his left-right combination that landed consistently. Williams’ fast hands exploded for the first time at the end of the second round, then he picked up his assault in the third, as he cruised to a six-round shutout decision, with three tallies of 60-54.
Williams graduates on Junie 20 from Prince Tech. “That was a good graduation present,” Williams het gesê. “My hand speed played a big factor. He was a tough guy, especially for my first six-rounder.”
Jennifer Salinas (R) had too much for Marquita Lee
featherweight champion Jennifer “The Bolivian Queen” Salinas (20-4, 5 Uitklophoue) verslaan Marquita Lee (3-5) by way of a hard-fought six-round unanimous decision. Salinas, veg uit Providence, was the aggressor throughout, but Lee never took a backward step. Gabriël Vega 59-55 twee keer, en 58-56, all for Salinas.
Fighting a much more experienced and taller opponent from Africa, promising Lynn, MA pamflet Khiry “TNT” Todd (5-0, 5 Uitklophoue) won his fifth pro fight, al deur uitklophou. A 2016 New England Golden Gloves-kampioen, Todd gained invaluable experience against cagey super welterweight Nicolas Sarouna (12-9-1, 9 Uitklophoue), of Togo, who took a knee after getting hit by a sneaky uppercut in the third round. Sarouna failed to beat the 10-count as Todd improved his perfect record, with a TKO stoppage at the 1:32 merk.
Radzhab Butaev left Abraham Alvarez on the mat in serious pain
Unbeaten Russian middleweight prospect Radzhab “The Python” Butaev (6-0, 4 Uitklophoue) was too much for Mexican Abraham “The Swift” Alvarez (20-11-1, 11 Uitklophoue). Butaev dropped Alvarez early with a vicious left hook, from which Alvarez never fully recovered. A brutal right to the liver put the Mexican on mat once again, in obvious pain, as referee Joey Lupino immediately waved off the fight at 1:05 van die eerste ronde.
Cuban cruiserweight Luis “El Leon” Garcia (15-0, 12 Uitklophoue) kept his perfect pro record intact with a first-round knockout of his outclassed Mexican opponent Felipe Romero (19-14-1, 13 Uitklophoue), fighting out of San Diego. Now living in Peekskill, NY, Garcia dropped Romero with an overhand right in the opening seconds and he never let up, consistently hurting Romero with a series of devastating rights. Garcia closed the show with a powerhouse uppercut, leading referee Johnny Callas to halt the action at the 1:48 merk.
Three-time Puerto Rican National Boxing team member Jose Romeinse (4-0, 3 Uitklophoue) went the distance for the first time against a game William Hill (2-3), Detroit. The skilled Puerto Rican super welterweight applied pressure from the opening bell, using a fierce body attack on Hill, who was trapped on the ropes for most of the fight. The judges tallied 40-36 twee keer, en 39-37, all for Roman via unanimous decision.

DiBella Entertainment’s unbeaten featherweight contender Luis Rosa also fought Saterdag, headlining a card at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in his hometown of New Haven, CT, facing Carlos Osorio, van Managua, Nicaragua. Rosa pressured his adversary throughout the contest, wearing him down with a steady attack to the body. Osorio was game and had a stiff jab, though the hometown favorite’s combinations on the inside helped to diminish the Nicaraguan’s punch output. Believing that Osorio had taken a great deal of punishment, the referee halted the contest at the 1:25 punt van die sesde ronde, awarding Rosa the TKO victory. Met die oorwinning, Rosa improved to 23-0 (11 Uitklophoue), while Osorio’s record dropped to 13-7 (5 Uitklophoue).

Kevin Dever Sport Management tekens onoorwonne Kubaanse lig swaargewig Luis Garcia

Skryf 'n opmerking
(L-R – Kevin Duty, Luis Garcia en Patrick Brown)
PEEKSKILL, N.Y.. (Desember 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Sport Management het die ondertekening van onoorwonne Kubaanse lig swaargewig vooruitsig aangekondig Luis “The Lion” Garcia 'n eksklusiewe bestuurs- kontrak.
Byna agt jaar gelede,Garcia (12-0, 9 Uitklophoue) oorgeloop van Kuba na Mexiko met mede-bokser Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 Uitklophoue), wat in Cork gevestig, Ierland, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, New York.
“Dit was 'n groter verandering toe ek verhuis na Ierland as ses weke gelede, toe ek hier ingetrek,” the 28-year-old Garcia explained. “It was a lot harder in Ireland because I didn’t speak a word of English. I learned English from the street, watching TV and reading. It’s not a big change for me to move around because I traveled all over the world when I was a member of the Cuban National Team.”
Garcia het nie geveg in byna vier jaar as gevolg van vorige bestuurs- kwessies, maar sy terugkeer is geskeduleer Saterdag nag, Desember 5, against an opponent to be determined in a six-round bout at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. His last fight was a win by eight-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated (12-0) Alexander Johnson Desember 30, 2011 in Cabazon, Kalifornië.
“Dit was nie my besluit om nie die afgelope vier jaar veg,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, sparred baie, and did as much as I could do in the gym. I still had a contract until it expired. I’ve known Kevin for 2-3 jaar. He asked me why I wasn’t fighting and I told him everything. He said to call him when my contract expired because he wanted to manage me and that’s what I did.
“Amerika bied my 'n goeie geleentheid, beter as Engeland of Ierland, and I’m going to finish my boxing career here. I’m fighting December 5ste and taking things step by step. I’m not going to rush. There are a lot of great fighters in the light heavyweight division and I hope to be in the mix next year.”
Garcia se twee gevegte voor sy laaste teen Johnson was indrukwekkend 2010 tegniese uitklophoue van die voormalige wêreldkampioen Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) en Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), onderskeidelik, in die tweede en sesde rondes.
“Ek het die boks met 'n slegte smaak in my mond, maar ek was op soek om terug te kry in die boks,” gesê Kevin Duty, wat mede-bestuur Garcia met Patrick Brown. “I knew him from Ireland and I always wanted to manage this kid. He called to tell me his contract had expired and we worked out a deal that brought him here to live in New York.
“I honestly don’t see any rust watching him spar. I know sparring isn’t fighting but everybody in the gym stops to watch him workout. Ek dink eerlik dat, sodra hy het 'n paar goeie gevegte onder sy gordel, hy sal 'n top-aanspraakmaker in die lig swaargewig-afdeling wees. Luis Garcia is die beste vegter wat ek nog ooit gewerk het.”
Garcia, 'n Wêreld Junior Kampioenskap goue medalje, oorgeloop omdat hy ontnugter na 'n plek wat ontken die 2008 Kubaanse Olimpiese span, ten spyte hom verslaan uiteindelike Olimpiese silwermedaljewenner Emelio Correa, Jr. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Olimpiese kampioen Emelio Correa, Sr., wat nog betrokke was in die Kubaanse amateur boks toe sy seun is gekies oor Garcia Kuba verteenwoordig in die 2008 Olimpiese Spele. Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, die Brit wat tans die Internasionale Boksfederasie (IBF) super middelgewig titlist.
Nie 'n tipiese verdediging-eerste Kubaanse bokser, Garcia is bekend as 'n skerp ponser dat baie insiders geglo het meer onderstebo as enige Kubaanse boksers wat het oorgeloop, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux en Yuriorkis gambo'n, wat albei verskeie-time wêreldkampioen as professionele geword.
Garcia is uit te werk van die Eerste Wees Boxing in Peekskill en Westchester Boxing Club in White Plains (NY), waar hy opgelei deur Nick “Kneukels” Delury en sy assistent, voormalige wêreld titel uitdager Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 Uitklophoue). A former No. 1 ingedeel welterweight aanspraakmaker in die wêreld, Barnes’ slegs drie verliese as 'n pro was om wêreldkampioene Felix “Tito” Trinidad, Saul Mamby en Luis Ramon “Yuri Boy” Kampus.
“Hy is 'n groot kind, baie slim en respek,” Delury kommentaar. “Daar is 'n paar roes uit om af vier jaar, maar Luis woon 'n goeie, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. Hy is 28, opgevoede, and a true gentleman. It’s been a pleasure working with him. Luis is a gifted boxer. He’s extremely exciting to watch and has a perfect blend of offense and defense.”
