The 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, Worcester, MA.
V úvodním kole, Remillard (25-1, 14 KO) and the slick Benin-native, former WBC International Silver champion Fassinou (27-6-3, 14 KO) 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. Cítil jsem se dobře; Já jsem 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, na 135 nebo 140 liber, 100-procento. He owes me a rematch. The guy he beat wasn’t me.”

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 pace subsided slightly in the fifth round, setting the stage for a bombs-away sixth and final frame that didn’t disappoint.

“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 “Podivuhodný” Mykquan Williams (7-0, 4 KO) gave himself an early high school graduation present as the East Hartford fighter defeated Nicaraguan welterweight Ariel “La Guerra” Vasquez (13-18-2, 9 KO) in the former’s first six-round bout.

Kevin Dever Sportovní management podepíše Neporažený kubánský Lehká těžká váha Luis Garcia

Zanechat komentář
(L-R – Kevin Duty, Luis Garcia a Patrick Brown)
Peekskill, New York. (Prosinec 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Sportovní management oznámil podepsání neporažený kubánské Lehká těžká váha vyhlídky Luis “The Lion” Garcia na exkluzivní manažerské smlouvy.
Před téměř osm roky,Garcia (12-0, 9 KO) přeběhl z Kuby do Mexika s kolegou boxerem Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 KO), kteří se usadili v Corku, Irsko, svůj profesionální debut absolvoval v r 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, New York.
“Byla to větší změna, když jsem se přestěhoval do Irska, než tomu bylo před šesti týdny, když jsem se sem přestěhoval,” 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 nebojoval za téměř čtyři roky kvůli předchozím manažerské otázky, ale jeho návrat je naplánovaný tuto sobotu noc, Prosinec 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 prosince 30, 2011 v Cabazon, Kalifornie.
“Nebylo to moje rozhodnutí není bojovat za poslední čtyři roky,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, zápasil hodně, 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 léta. 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 mi nabízí dobrou příležitost, lepší než v Anglii nebo v Irsku, and I’m going to finish my boxing career here. I’m fighting December 5th 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 Dva boje před jeho poslední proti Johnson byly působivé 2010 technické vykrojení bývalého mistra světa Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) a Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), příslušně, ve druhé a šesté kolech.
“Nechal jsem box s pachuť v puse, ale hledal jsem se dostat zpět do boxu,” řekl Kevin Duty, kdo co-řídí Garcia s 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. Upřímně si myslím, že, jakmile má několik dobrých soubojů pod jeho pásem, že bude top soupeřů ve světle heavyweight divize. Luis Garcia je nejlepší bojovník, co jsem kdy pracoval.”
Garcia, World Junior Championship zlatým medailistou, přeběhl protože on byl rozčarovaný poté, co byl popíral místo na 2008 Cuban Olympic Team, přestože ho porazil případný olympijský stříbrný medailista Emelio Correa, Jr. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Olympijský vítěz Emelio Correa, Sr., který se stále ještě podílí na kubánské amatérském boxu, když byl jeho syn vybrala přes Garcia reprezentovat Kubu v 2008 Olympijské hry. Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, Brit, který v současné době je Mezinárodní boxová federace (IBF) Super střední titlist.
Není to typický obrany jako první kubánský boxer, Garcia je známý jako ostrý puncher, že mnozí zasvěcenci věřili měl více vzhůru než jakékoliv kubánských boxerů, kteří si přeběhl, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux a Yuriorkis Gamboa, kdo oba se stali více mistři světa jako profesionálové.
Garcia pracuje z být nejprve boxu v Peekskill a Westchester Boxing Club ve městě White Plains (NY), kde on je vyškolen Vrub “Knuckles” Delury a jeho asistent, Bývalý světový titul challenger Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 KO). A former No. 1 zařadil Welterweight uchazečem ve světě, Barnes’ jen tři ztráty jako profík byly mistrům světa Felix “Tito” Trinidad, Saul Mamby a Luis Ramon “Yuri Boy” Campus.
“Je to skvělý kluk, velmi inteligentní a uctivý,” Delury komentoval. “Je tu nějaký rez z bytí pryč čtyři roky, ale Luis žije dobrý, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. Je to 28, vzdělaný, 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.”
