MASHANTUCKET, CT (Mehefin 4, 2017) – The amazing comeback of Matt “Sharp Shooter” Remillard continued last night as the popular Connecticut lightweight stopped Fatiou Fassinou yn y Broadway Bocsio headliner held in Fox Theater, yn Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, CT.
Y Broadway Bocsio 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, yng Nghaerwrangon, MA.
Yn y rownd agoriadol, 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. Roeddwn i'n teimlo'n dda; Rwy'n 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, yn 135 neu 140 bunnoedd, 100-y cant. He owes me a rematch. The guy he beat wasn’t me.”
Ruslan Shamalov (L) & George Arias turned in the Fight of the Night
Yn y cyd-nodwedd, two New York City-based heavyweights, 6’5″ Rwsia Ruslan Shamalov (4-1, 3 Kos) and Dominican “Gentleman” George Arias (7-0, 3 Kos), fighting out of Brooklyn and the Bronx, yn y drefn honno, 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 “Ymladd y Flwyddyn” ymgeisydd. Arias, the leader of Team Wash Em’ Up in the Bronx, won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54, 59-55, ac 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 “Wych” 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” Vasquez (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, pwy sy'n 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 Mehefin 20 from Prince Tech. “That was a good graduation present,” Dywedodd Williams. “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) trechu Marquita Lee (3-5) by way of a hard-fought six-round unanimous decision. Salinas, ymladd allan o Providence, was the aggressor throughout, but Lee never took a backward step. Scorecards 59-55 ddwywaith, ac 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, i gyd gan knockout. A 2016 Lloegr Newydd Golden bencampwr Menig, 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 marc.
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 o un rownd.
Cuban cruiserweight Luis “El Leon” Garcia (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, 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 marc.
Three-time Puerto Rican National Boxing team member Jose Rufeinig (4-0, 3 Kos) went the distance for the first time against a game William Hill (2-3), o 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 ddwywaith, ac 39-37, all for Roman via unanimous decision.

DiBella Entertainment’s unbeaten featherweight contender Luis Rosa also fought ar ddydd Sadwrn, headlining a card at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in his hometown of New Haven, CT, facing Carlos Osorio, o 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 marc o rownd chwech, awarding Rosa the TKO victory. Gyda'r fuddugoliaeth, Rosa improved to 23-0 (11 Kos), while Osorio’s record dropped to 13-7 (5 Kos).

Kevin Dever Rheoli Chwaraeon yn arwyddo diguro pwysau trwm golau Ciwba Luis Garcia

Gadael sylw
(L-R – Kevin Ddyletswydd, Luis Garcia a Patrick Brown)
PEEKSKILL, N.Y.. (Rhagfyr 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Rheoli Chwaraeon wedi cyhoeddi arwyddo posibilrwydd pwysau trwm golau Ciwba undefeated Luis “Y Llew” Garcia i gytundeb rheoli unigryw.
Mae bron i wyth mlynedd yn ôl,Garcia (12-0, 9 Kos) defected o Ciwba i Fecsico gyda chyd-focsiwr Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 Kos), a ymsefydlodd yn Cork, Iwerddon, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, Efrog Newydd.
“Roedd yn newid mwy pan symudais i Iwerddon nag yr oedd chwe wythnos yn ôl pan fyddaf yn symud yma,” 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.”
Nid yw Garcia wedi ymladd mewn bron i bedair blynedd oherwydd materion rheolaethol blaenorol, ond iddo ddychwelyd a drefnwyd yn dydd Sadwrn nos, Rhagfyr 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 ar Ragfyr 30, 2011 yn CABAZON, California.
“Nid oedd fy penderfyniad i beidio ag ymladd yn erbyn y pedair blynedd diwethaf,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, sparred llawer, 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 flynyddoedd. 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.
“America yn cynnig cyfle da i mi, yn well na Lloegr neu Iwerddon, and I’m going to finish my boxing career here. I’m fighting December 5fed 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 dwy ymladd cyn ei olaf yn erbyn Johnson yn drawiadol 2010 knockouts technegol cyn-bencampwr byd Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) ac Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), yn y drefn honno, yn yr ail a'r chweched rownd.
“Gadewais bocsio gyda blas drwg yn fy ngheg, ond yr oeddwn yn awyddus i fynd yn ôl i mewn bocsio,” Dywedodd Kevin Ddyletswydd, sy'n cyd-rheoli Garcia gyda 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. Yr wyf yn wir yn meddwl bod, unwaith y mae ganddo rai ymladd da dan ei gwregys, fe fydd yn gystadleuydd uchaf yn yr adran pwysau trwm golau. Luis Garcia yw'r bocsiwr gorau rwyf wedi gweithio erioed gyda.”
Garcia, yn enillydd medal aur Pencampwriaeth Iau y Byd, defected oherwydd ei fod yn ddadrithio ar ôl cael ei gwrthod yn fan ar y 2008 Tîm Olympaidd Ciwba, er gwaethaf iddo drechu enillydd medal arian Olympaidd yn y pen draw Emelio Correa, Jr. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Pencampwr Olympaidd Emelio Correa, Sr., a oedd yn dal i ymwneud â bocsio amatur Ciwba pan ei fab ei ddewis dros Garcia i gynrychioli Cuba yn y 2008 Gemau Olympaidd. Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, y Brit sydd ar hyn o bryd yw Ffederasiwn Bocsio Rhyngwladol (IBF) titlist ganol super.
Ddim yn paffiwr Ciwba amddiffyniad cyntaf nodweddiadol, Garcia cael ei adnabod fel Puncher creision fod llawer o insiders credu bod mwy o upside nag unrhyw bocswyr Ciwba sydd wedi defected, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux ac Yuriorkis Gamboa, sydd ill dau wedi dod yn bencampwyr byd lluosog-amser fel gweithwyr proffesiynol.
Garcia yn gweithio allan o'r Be Bocsio Gyntaf yn Clwb Bocsio Peekskill a Westchester yn White Plains (NY), lle mae'n cael ei hyfforddi gan Nick “Migwrn” Delury a'i gynorthwy-ydd, Teitl cystadleuydd cyn byd Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 Kos). A former No. 1 contender pwysau welter rhestru yn y byd, Barnes’ dim ond tri colledion fel pro oedd pencampwyr y byd Felix “Tito” Trinidad, Saul Mamby ac Luis Ramon “Yuri Boy” Campws.
“Mae'n blentyn mawr, smart a pharchus iawn,” Dywedodd Delury. “Mae rhywfaint o rhwd o fod i ffwrdd bedair blynedd, ond Luis yn byw yn dda, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. Mae'n 28, addysgedig, 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.”
