A NEW MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION WILL BE CROWNED AT NEF 39

Mei 24, 2019 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Voor onmiddellijke publicatie: Lewiston, Maine (Mei 22, 2019) - New England Fights (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Saturday, Juni 22 met haar volgende mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN.” Eerder vandaag, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur title fight to the card. Carlton Charles (3-2) zal worden geconfronteerd met Jordan Norman (2-1) for the vacant amateur middleweight belt.

Prior to entering the MMA ranks, Carlton Charles made his mark on the football field. He played for Windham High School in Windham, Maine and later led the team to a Class A title as an assistant coach. Charles went on to play fullback for the University of Maine Black Bears. He made his NEF debut in the summer of 2017 with a 23-second knockout win. He would top that performance with a 12-second knockout victory in February 2018. After an unsuccessful attempt at capturing the amateur welterweight title against Duncan Smith (5-3) last June, Charles returned to the cage one month ago in New Hampshire and picked up yet another first-round knockout win.

“Zoals altijd, I feel blessed and very grateful for the opportunity to fight for the belt,” said Charles. “I know Jordan has come a long way in this sport and is always training hard and improving. I will be looking to not be caught by one of those big meat hooks that he has for hands. He’s a big powerful guy, and I’m going to be training hard as always to be able to go out and perform to my best ability. I know my coaches will have me ready for this one! have no doubt in my mind the fans will be in for a real treat with this one.”

Jordan Norman has indeed come a long way since his NEF debut last June. He lost that evening via first-round knockout, but Norman would come firing back in his next two bouts. He won a split decision over John Assam (0-1) laatste val, and just last month finished Greg Ishihara (0-1) in the second round. Norman represents the Bad Little Falls Dojo.

“I’m honored for the opportunity to get into the NEF cage and compete for the amateur title against someone like Carlton,” exclaimed Norman. “He and I will put on one hell of a show for the Lewiston crowd. Both of us come to fight and it won’t be any different on June 22nd. I have nothing but respect for him and his team. I’m excited for the task at hand and scrapping it out for the middleweight title.”

The middleweight title fight between Charles and Norman is the fourth already announced for the “NEF 39” card. Josh “Aanhaken” Harvey (6-0-1) is scheduled to defend the professional featherweight title against Jordan Downey (5-4), while Nate Boucher (4-3) will square off with Robert Presley (5-4) for the vacant amateur men’s flyweight belt, and undefeated Glory Watson (4-0) takes on Caree Hill (4-1) to crown NEF’s first amateur women’s flyweight champion. Also announced for the card, Jesse “De Viking” Erickson (9-7) faces Lewis Corapi (8-5) in a professional lightweight bout.

“NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN,” zal plaatsvinden op zaterdag, Juni 22, 2019 op de Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine met een beltijd van 7 pm. Tickets zijn nu te koop bij www.TheColisee.com.

Troy Isley komende uit grootste overwinning, Voorbereiden voor 2020 Olympische Spelen

Mei 7, 2019 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

COLORADO SPRINGS, Ronde. (Mei 6, 2019) – USA Boxing middengewicht Troy Isley komt uit de belangrijkste overwinning van zijn jonge carrière, toen hij versloeg de 2016 Olympisch gouden medaillewinnaar, Cuba's Arlen Lopez, op de recente Pan American Games Qualifier in Managua, Nicaragua.

Lopez diende als een positieve barometer voor Isley in termen van zijn potentieel 2020 Olympische run. “Beating Lopez is mijn grootste overwinning tot nu toe,” Isley toegelaten. “Hij won een gouden medaille op de laatste Olympische Spelen. Ik gewroken mijn verlies voor hem 2017. We bijna gevochten in The Continentals, maar hij verloor in de kwartfinale, en ik verloor in de halve finales. We konden opnieuw tegenover elkaar in juli op de Pan American Games.”

In 2017, Isley veroverde een gouden medaille op de Elite World Championships, die betekende een primeur voor een Amerikaanse elite bokser in zes jaar. Hij vorderde jaar-op-jaar, het nemen van de hoogste eer aan de 2012 & 2013 Nationale PAL Kampioenschappen, 2014 Olympics Nationale Junior, 2016 & 2017 Elite Nationale Kampioenschappen. Tot nu toe dit jaar, in aanvulling op het winnen op de Pan American Games Qualifier, hij nam ook goud op de Strandja Tournament in Bulgarije.

Niet te shabby prestaties voor een jongen die echt niet willen boksen, vooral in vergelijking met voetbal, dat was zijn favoriete sport opgroeien.

“Toen ik terugkeerde naar de sportschool waar ik trainde, Alexandrië (VA) Boxing Club,” USA National Team assistent-coach **Kay Koromba** herinnerde,” ze had hulp nodig met een jong kind, Troy Isley. Ik had een eenvoudig gesprek met hem. Hij zei dat hij terug zou komen naar de sportschool als ik was er coaching. Ik heb niet terug te gaan voor een tijdje en hij kwam niet terug. Ik nam uiteindelijk over de sportschool toen de coach vertrokken, en Troy terug.

“Troy is bevriend met **Keyshawn Dav**is (USA Boxing Geen. 1-gewaardeerd lichtgewicht). Beiden wonen in Virginia (Troy in Alexandria, Keyshawn in Newport) en trainen met mij op het Alexandrië Boxing Club, als we niet leven en training in Colorado Springs. Ze vochten als kinderen en werden goede vrienden. Alle andere boksers hier kijken naar hen.”

“Ik was alleen 8 en in eerste instantie ik heb het echt niet boksen,” de nu 20-jarige Isley sprak over zijn kennismaking met amateur-boksen. “Ik was meer geïnteresseerd in teamsporten als voetbal, maar ik gaf het boksen toen heb ik gekozen om te concurreren in de Box-Offs. Ik wilde alleen maar een kind te zijn en je kunt niet boksen spelen. Ik ging terug naar de sportschool en in elkaar geslagen iedereen. Coach Kay zei tegen mijn vader dat hij me kon maken in een nationaal kampioen, en dat gaf me veel zelfvertrouwen.”

Een zelf-beschreven boxer puncher, Isley is een intelligente, welbespraakt boxer met de ogen op de toekomst, buiten van het boksen, het nemen van on-line business courses door middel van DeVry University. “Ik kan het allemaal,” bood hij over zijn boksen stijl. “Ik ben bezig met het gebruik van meer jabs om een betere all-round bokser. De prik stelt de overtreding up. Ik ben bezig met mijn prik, omdat je vecht met een jab kan winnen.”

De initiatiefnemers staan in de rij om hun bedrijf pitchen aan Isley ondertekenen, die heeft een definitief plan dat erin bestaat de 2020 De VS de Olympische Boxing Team, medaille in Japan, en vervolgens professioneel.

“De Olympische Spelen is slechts een jaar weg,” Isley opgemerkt. “Ik ben sluiten met Keyshawn en **Shakur**(**Stevenson**, 2016 Olympisch zilveren-medaillewinnaar en een 11-0 pro vooruitzicht). Trainen met hen maakt het wat makkelijker voor ons allemaal. We rijden van elkaar en de trein tegen verschillende stijlen. Ik ben altijd het oppakken van nieuwe dingen. We helpen elkaar training, sparring, en gewoon te praten. We zijn altijd samen, hetzij in Alexandrië of Colorado Springs. Shakur gaat er nog steeds voor een goede sparring.

“Shakur vertelt ons veel over zijn ervaringen in de Olympische Spelen en nu als een pro. Me and Keyshawn hebben altijd gesproken over het feit dat samen op de Verenigde Staten Boxing Olympisch Team. We blijven hard werken en geconcentreerd blijven. Het is onze droom.”

Dromen komen waar, maar, eerste, Isley bereidt zich voor op de Pan-Am Games en, mogelijk, zijn rubber match met de verdedigende Olympisch gouden-medaillewinnaar, Lopez.

STIJL

Jacobs:
A lanky, long-armed boxer with versatile skills who often fights aggressively and is not afraid to exchange punches.

Shows tremendous heart in the face of adversity.

STERKE

* Sterkte - Alvarez is een fysiek-rijpen en dik gebouwde vechter met griezelige sterkte. Hij is effectief in het back-up-strijders, zelfs wanneer niet flush stoten landing. He has grown from junior-middleweight and has competed recently at super-middleweight.

* Experience – Alvarez has come a long way during his professional career and has competed against some of the biggest names in boxing. He has been in this moment numerous times and the raucous atmosphere will be second nature to him.

* Easy-to-Hit – While his offensive skill is his calling card, Alvarez has a decent defense. When he loses focus or becomes overly aggressive, he is wide open for straight right hands and counter punches.

* Heavy Feet – Alvarez has good boxing ability but is often slow-footed in the ring. When matched against taller fighters with good lateral movement, he frequently struggles, as was the case in his bouts with Austin Trout and Erislandy Lara.

Jacobs:
* Suspect Chin – Jacobs is no stranger to tasting the canvas. He was knocked out in devastating fashion by Dmitry Pirog in his first professional loss. He was also on the canvas against Gennady Golovkin and Sergio Mora.

* Reckless – In his first fight against Mora, Jacobs became overly aggressive after scoring a knockdown and left himself wide open for a counter punch that put him on the canvas. He was also off-balance and reckless again when he had Peter Quillin stunned.

* Carlos Baldomir (9/18/10) – Alvarez was a 20-year-old prodigy facing a durable former world champion in Baldomir. Alvarez was succesvol boksen vroeg en het gebruik van zijn voordelen in snelheid en vaardigheid om de eerste vijf rondes vegen. Maar het was zijn tentoongesteld in de 6e die gedenkwaardige was. Alvarez wiegde Baldomir voordat ze uiteindelijk te laten vallen met een linkse hoek, rendering hem bewusteloos voordat hij raakte de mat en het omgaan hem zijn enige stilstand verlies in een 16-jarige carrière.

Jacobs:

Claressa Shields Is The BWAA’s 2018 Vrouwelijke vechter van het Jaar

December 19, 2018 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Klik HIER to read online|

By Joseph Santoliquito/BWAA President

In a pivotal year for women’s boxing that saw the sport reach more
people than ever before, two-time United States Olympic gold medal
winner Claressa Shields continued to soar, as she successfully defended her two world middleweight titles, then added three super middleweight belts before the end of a campaign that earned her the 2018 Christy
Martin Award, which is given to the Boxing Writers Association of
America’s Female Fighter of the Year.

“I am thrilled and honored to receive the Fighter of the Year award from the Boxing Writers Association of America. It is a dream come true, and it furthers my goal to lift women’s boxing to new levels,” Shields zei.

“In 2019 my goals are to become undisputed champion, to be ranked in the top 10 pound-for-pound list regardless of gender, and to continue
the march of women’s boxing toward equality with men.”

The 23-year-old from Flint, Michigan becomes the second winner of the award, which was established in 2017. She will be honored at the
BWAA’s annual award dinner, which will take place in 2019 at a site and date to be determined.

“In such a big year for women’s boxing, it wasn’t a surprise that there
were so many worthy nominees for this award, maar in 2018, Claressa
Shields took things to a new level by becoming a two-division world
champion and successfully defending her titles at both 168 en 160
pounds in Showtime and HBO-televised bouts,” said Thomas Gerbasi,
chairman of the BWAA’s women’s boxing committee. “That’s impressive in its own right, but the fact that she’s done this all before her tenth pro
fight and under the glare of the spotlight that comes with being the face of the sport in the United States made her a unanimous choice for this
year’s Christy Martin Award.”

Joining Roy Jones Jr., Andre Ward and the late Emanuel Steward as
members of the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame’s Class of 2018, Shields began the year on a collision course with middleweight
champion Christina Hammer, but first she finished up her business at
168 pounds by successfully defending her IBF and WBC titles with a
shutout victory over Tori Nelson in January.

Next was Shields’ middleweight debut against Hanna Gabriels in June,
and what followed was a Fight of the Year candidate that saw Shields
rebound from the first knockdown of her career to win a clear-cut
decision and the IBF and WBA belts. Soon after, the news came that
Hammer had to withdraw from her November clash with Shields due to
letsel, maar “T-Rex” didn’t slow down, as she defeated Hannah Rankin and Femke Hermans to successfully defend her middleweight titles while
adding the WBC crown to her trophy case.

In zijn meest recente strijd, Hernandez defeated Daniel Valdivia (14-3, 10 KO) in a fight that Valdivia was rocked badly in the last two rounds.

On top of the bizarre ending, Hernandez was cut in the fight and forced to sit, because of his cut. Valdivia replaced him and got dropped and beaten by Shane Mosely Jr., who now is in the finals.

Hernandez is readier than ever now to make things happen as he wishes to keep his momentum moving forward and face the best in the division.

Atlantic City, NJ (November 1, 2018) – Middengewicht Isiah Seldon maakt zich op voor zijn grootste gevecht uit zijn carrière wanneer hij het opneemt tegen de ongeslagen Tyler Howard in een gevecht dat gepland staat voor acht ronden op 16 november in The Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City..

De bout, die wordt gepromoot door Top Rank, wordt live gestreamd op ESPN +.

Tijdens het hoofdevenement zal WBO Junior kampioen weltergewicht Maurice Hooker verdedigen tegen Alex Saucedo.

Seldon (12-1-1, 4 KO) trainde in Atlantic City onder het toeziend oog van Bill Johnson.

“Ik kijk uit naar deze geweldige kans,” zei Seldon. “Ik verlangde naar een kans om het op te nemen tegen een vechter als Howard, want een overwinning zal mijn carrière naar een hoger niveau tillen.”

Team Seldon, werkt ijverig samen met de oude manager Jim Kurtz, erg enthousiast over de kans die Seldon voor hem heeft.

“Het wordt niet groter dan vechten in een Top Rank-show met een explosief hoofdevenement tussen Hooker en Saucedo. Het personeel van Top Rank is top. Ik vind het heel spannend dat Isiah deze kans krijgt om zijn talenten op een groot podium te laten zien. Ikzelf en co-manager Joe Thompson zijn ervan overtuigd dat Isiah klaar is om te schitteren op 16 november en dat het hier niet snel genoeg kan komen,” zei Kurtz, die Seldon vanaf dag één heeft geleid.

Kurtz beheerde ook de vader van Seldon, WBA zwaargewicht kampioen, Bruce Seldon.

“Isiah is herenigd met zijn oorspronkelijke trainer Bill Johnson en ze hebben geen slag overgeslagen. Dit is de eerste keer dat Isiah een volwaardig trainingskamp heeft gehad. We hebben geen middel onbeproefd gelaten ter voorbereiding op dit gevecht. Isiahs conditionering is op een punt dat ik nog nooit bij hem heb gezien. Hij krijgt geweldige sparring en zijn verbetering bij het werken met Bill ter voorbereiding op dit gevecht is ongelooflijk. Hij is klaar om de wereld een nieuwe en verbeterde Isiah Seldon te laten zien. Hij heeft een grote erfenis te volgen als zoon van voormalig WBA zwaargewicht kampioen Bruce Seldon, maar Isiah is vastbesloten om zijn eigen stempel te drukken op de bokssport.”

“Hij heeft altijd de macht in beide handen gehad, scoren in bijna elk gevecht, maar nu leert hij kalm te blijven en jongens af te maken in plaats van overdreven opgewonden te raken en ze los te laten. Hij slaat harder dan ooit tevoren, door zijn stoten samen te voegen en zijn bokskwaliteiten hebben een niveau bereikt waarop hij het tempo van het gevecht kan beheersen. We hebben het rustig aan gedaan met Isiah, aangezien hij geen amateurgevechten had, maar we zijn nu op het punt waarop hij klaar is om zijn stempel te drukken op de middengewichtdivisie.”

“We weten dat Tyler Howard een goede ongeslagen jager is. Hij had een goede amateurcarrière, komt uit een gezin met een boksachtergrond, en heeft een solide managementteam die geweldig werk met hem hebben gedaan. Op 16 november verwachten we een zwaar gevecht met wat vuurwerk, maar we zijn ervan overtuigd dat Isiah als overwinnaar zal uitkomen en dit zal ons naar grotere en betere kansen leiden.”
