Mashantucket, Connecticut (Juny 4, 2017) – The amazing comeback of Mate “Sharp Shooter” Remillard continued last night as the popular Connecticut lightweight stopped Fatiou Fassinou al Broadway Boxing headliner held in Fox Theater, at Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
La 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 García (LRTD11). Fighting out of Manchester, Connecticut, 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, a Worcester, Massachusetts.
A la primera ronda, Remillard (25-1, 14 KOs) and the slick Benin-native, former WBC International Silver champion Fassinou (27-6-3, 14 KOs) 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. Em vaig sentir bé; Estic 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, a 135 o 140 lliura, 100-per cent. He owes me a rematch. The guy he beat wasn’t me.”
Ruslan Shamalov (L) & George Arias turned in the Fight of the Night
En la baralla co-estel·lar, two New York City-based heavyweights, 6’5″ Rus Ruslan Shamalov (4-1, 3 KOs) and Dominican “Gentleman” George Arias (7-0, 3 KOs), fighting out of Brooklyn and the Bronx, respectivament, 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 “Baralla de l'Any” candidat. Arias, the leader of Team Wash Em’ Up in the Bronx, won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54, 59-55, i 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 “Meravellós” Mykquan Williams (7-0, 4 KOs) gave himself an early high school graduation present as the East Hartford fighter defeated Nicaraguan welterweight Ariel “La Guerra” Vásquez (13-18-2, 9 KOs) 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, que és 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 Juny 20 from Prince Tech. “That was a good graduation present,” Williams va dir. “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 KOs) derrotat Marquita Lee (3-5) by way of a hard-fought six-round unanimous decision. Salinas, lluitant fora de la Providència, was the aggressor throughout, but Lee never took a backward step. Scorecards 59-55 dues vegades, i 58-56, all for Salinas.
Fighting a much more experienced and taller opponent from Africa, promising Lynn, MA prospect Khiry “TNT” Todd (5-0, 5 KOs) won his fifth pro fight, totes per nocaut. La 2016 campió dels Guants d'Or de Nova Anglaterra, Todd gained invaluable experience against cagey super welterweight Nicolas Sarouna (12-9-1, 9 KOs), 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 marca.
Radzhab Butaev left Abraham Alvarez on the mat in serious pain
Unbeaten Russian middleweight prospect Radzhab “The Python” Butaev (6-0, 4 KOs) was too much for Mexican Abraham “The Swift” Alvarez (20-11-1, 11 KOs). 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 de la primera ronda.
Cuban cruiserweight Luis “El Leon” García (15-0, 12 KOs) kept his perfect pro record intact with a first-round knockout of his outclassed Mexican opponent Felipe Romero (19-14-1, 13 KOs), fighting out of San Diego. Now living in Peekskill, Nova York, 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 marca.
Three-time Puerto Rican National Boxing team member José Román (4-0, 3 KOs) went the distance for the first time against a game William Hill (2-3), de 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 dues vegades, i 39-37, all for Roman via unanimous decision.
##
DiBella Entertainment’s unbeaten featherweight contender Luis Rosa also fought en dissabte, headlining a card at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in his hometown of New Haven, Connecticut, facing Carlos Osorio, de 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 marca de la sisena ronda, awarding Rosa the TKO victory. Amb la victòria, Rosa improved to 23-0 (11 KOs), while Osorio’s record dropped to 13-7 (5 KOs).

Kevin Dever Sports Management signatura invicte pes semipesado cubà Luis García

Leave a comment
(L-R – Kevin Deure, Luis García i Patrick Brown)
PEEKSKILL, N.Y. (Desembre 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Sports Management ha anunciat la signatura d'invicte prospecte de pes semipesado de Cuba Luis “El Lleó” García a un contracte exclusiu de gestió.
Fa gairebé vuit anys,García (12-0, 9 KOs) desertar de Cuba a Mèxic amb el seu company boxejador Alexei Acosta. García (12-0, 9 KOs), que es va establir a Cork, Irlanda, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, Nova York.
“Va ser un canvi més gran quan em vaig mudar a Irlanda del que era fa sis setmanes, quan em vaig mudar aquí,” 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.”
García no ha lluitat en gairebé quatre anys, a causa de qüestions de gestió anteriors, però el seu retorn programat és aquest dissabte nit, Desembre 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 de desembre 30, 2011 en Cabazon, Califòrnia.
“No va ser la meva decisió de no combatre als últims quatre anys,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, discutit molt, 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 any. 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.
“Amèrica m'ofereix una bona oportunitat, millor que Anglaterra o Irlanda, and I’m going to finish my boxing career here. I’m fighting December 5º 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.”
De García 2 baralles anteriors a la seva última contra Johnson van ser impressionants 2010 nocauts tècnics de l'excampió del món Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) i Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), respectivament, en la segona i sisena rondes.
“Vaig sortir de boxa amb un mal gust de boca, però jo estava buscant per tornar a la boxa,” dit Kevin Deure, que co-administra amb García 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. Sincerament, crec que, una vegada que ell té algunes bones baralles en el seu haver, que va ser un dels principals en la divisió de pes semipesado. Luis García és el millor lluitador que he treballat.”
García, una medalla d'or del Campionat del Món Júnior, desertar perquè estava desil·lusionat després d'haver estat negat un lloc en el 2008 Equip olímpic cubà, tot i derrotar ell eventual medallista de plata olímpic Emelio Correa, Jr. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Campió olímpic Emelio Correa, Sr., que encara estava involucrat en la boxa amateur cubà quan el seu fill va ser seleccionat sobre García per representar a Cuba el 2008 Jocs Olímpics. Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, el britànic que actualment és la Federació Internacional de Boxa (FIB) campió súper mitjà.
No és un típic boxejador cubà defensa primer, García és conegut com un pegador trencadís que molts coneixedors cregut tenia més potencial que qualsevol boxejadors cubans que han desertar, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux i Yuriorkis Gambo1, que tant s'han convertit en campions del món en temps múltiple com a professionals.
García està treballant fora de l'Ésser Primer Boxa en Peekskill i Westchester Boxing Club a White Plains (Nova York), on és entrenat per Mella “Knuckles” Delury i el seu assistent, l'ex retador al títol mundial Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 KOs). A former No. 1 contendent de pes welter classificat en el món, Barnes’ només tres pèrdues com a professional van ser campions del món Felix “Tito” Trinitat, Saül Mamby i Luis Ramon “Yuri Boy” Campus.
“Ell és un gran noi, molt intel·ligent i respectuosa,” Delury comentat. “Hi ha una mica d'òxid de ser fora de quatre anys, però Luis viu un bon, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. Ell és 28, educat, 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.”
