Återvänder till ringa Juli 8 i NYC |
MIAMI (Juni 30, 2015) – Till skillnad från de flesta brittiska boxare som först etablerar sig hemma i Storbritannien innan striderna i USA, Steed “Hingsten” Woodall packade upp och flyttade 1-½ år sedan från Birmingham, England till Miami för att fullfölja sin boxning dröm.
Som amatör, Woodall var en femfaldig England National Champion, två-tiden British Champion, och quarterfinalist i World Youth Championships. Hans aggressiva stil, har visat sig vara mycket bättre lämpade för pro boxning, framgår av hans imponerande 7-0-1 (5 Kos) professionell rekord. “Jag tillbringar större delen av min tid i gymmet,” Woodall pratade om sitt nya liv i Amerika. “Jag har ingen familj här och mina vänner är från gymmet. Det har varit tufft, men jag har varit välkomna i Amerika och jag har verkligen haft bor här. Förra året, Jag kom i Miami i slutet av sommaren och inser inte hur varmt det verkligen blir förrän nu. Varje morgon jag gå utanför och det är fortfarande en chock när värmen slår mig. Det betyder att förbereda mig för att bekämpa under TV lampor, Jag antar. “Jag har fått en hel del värdefull erfarenhet sparring bästa killarna i vårt gym (5th St. Gym). Jag var bara 19 när jag kom hit och jag har lärt mig hur man ska vara en professionell boxare. Jag kände alltid min stil och storlek skulle vara bättre som en professionell än som en amatör. Jag har jobbat på min jab en hel del att bli en bättre all-around fighter. Jag har haft bra sparring för min nästa kamp med killar som Dyer Davis och Ed Paredes. Jag reser runt för att få sparring, alltför, med erfarna proffs och några topp amatörer att få en chans att arbeta mot en mängd olika stilar.” Woodall har förberett sig för sin nästa match, Juli 8 i en sex-runda bout mot Devaun Lee (4-1, 2 Kos), närliggande Jamaica, Queens, på BB King Blues Club i New York, där han kämpade två andra tider för hans promotor, Lou DiBella. Woodall är irländsk på sin mors sida, och han har en växande fan-base i the Big Apple. “Det är en stor upplevelse att slåss i New York, särskilt för någon från en så liten plats som Birmingham,” Woodall noterade. “Det är en dröm som går i uppfyllelse, striderna i Amerika, mitt i Times Square. Jag lever drömmen. “Jag vet inte riktigt betala för mycket uppmärksamhet till min motståndare. Jag kämpade världsmästare som en amatör, så jag är inte alltför oroad med mina motståndare. Jag vill bara gå och få jobbet gjort.” Woodall har också kämpat professionellt i Dominikanska republiken, Virginia och Florida. Information:

Miami, OK (Maj 31, 2015) – Renowned heavyweight up and comer Trey Lippe-Morrison remained perfect as a pro following yet another impressive knockout yesterday evening at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, OK.
Fighting in front of a sellout crowd, something he’s become accustomed to as a member of Holden Productions’ “Four State Franchise”, Lippe-Morrison faced Thomas Jones in the six round main event. With legendary trainer Jesse Reid in his corner for the first time, Lippe-Morrison scored an impressive second round stoppage of Jones. After dominating the first round, Lippe-Morrison unleashed a vicious combination that badly staggered Jones, forcing his corner to throw in the towel just 35 seconds after the start of the round.
Lip-Morrison, who lives in Tulsa, är nu 8-0 with all of his victories by knockout.
Kenzie Witt of Bartelsville, OK went the distance for the first time as a pro but improved to 5-0 following a four round unanimous decision over Kansas City MO’s Lucas Overcast. Witt was in control throughout but gained valuable experience against the game Overcast. Witt, who is the half brother of Lippe-Morrison, stopped his previous four opponents inside the first round.
“Trey and Kenzie continue to impress me,” said Promoter Tony Holden. “I’m going to continue stepping them up but both of them have incredible power like their father did. Our fans have been fantastic and I thank them for packing the house again. We will make it our duty to continue giving them exciting bouts with fighters they want to see.”
“Four State Franchise” member Jesse Cook (14-1-1, Seneca, MO) battled to an eight round draw in a welterweight contest against Kevin Womack (5-5-2, Baltimore, MD) and his brother Dillon Cook (14-0, Seneca, MO) stopped Joe Jiles (3-5, McAlester, OK) in the opening round of a junior middleweight bout. Undefeated welterweight prospect Jarrett Rose ofBartlesville upped his record to 7-0 by stopping Robert Seyam in the third round, while Kathina Catron and Juan Parra each won four round decisions.
The card was also broadcasted by Hall of Famer Al Bernstein and Oklahoma City boxing legend Sean O’Grady on KSNF and Cox Cable. Fans in the Four State Area (Missouri, Kansas Oklahoma and Arkansas) received the broadcast courtesy of a new television deal that will continue during the next card at the Buffalo Run Casino.
“It’s such an honor to have Al and Sean broadcasting my shows,"Sade Holden. “Both men are incredible at what they do. This is another great outlet for those that can’t make it to the fights not only to enjoy the action live on TV but do so with two of the best broadcasters in the business.”
Holden Productions next card is scheduled for Juli 25.
