BILOXI, FRAU (August 25, 2018) – “Queen of Bare Knuckle” Bec Rawlings unterlegen Großbritannien Hart durch Split Decision (50-45, 49-45, 48-47) wie sie Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) returned on Saturday withBKFC 2: A New Eravom Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi und leben von Pay-per-View.

 

 

 

I don’t think it was a split decision,” Said Rawlings. “When I signed on to fight for BKFC they sent us the rules and they said you can’t run from your opponent. You have to engage. You have to toe the line. That’s where they want the action to happen and you’ll lose points if you don’t obey those rules. So, I definitely was the one pushing the pace tonight. I was in the center the whole time and I landed the harder shots.

 

 

 

After her win over Alma Garcia at BKFC 1, Rawlings wurde mit dem Boxgürtel der Frauen der National Police Gazette belohnt. Mit dem Sieg am Samstag, Rawlings behielt ihren Titel.

 

 

 

“Es war mir eine große Ehre, meinen Titel mit bloßen Fingerknöcheln zu erringen und ihn jetzt zu verteidigen,” Rawlings hinzugefügt. “Als ich zum ersten Mal in die Knie ging, hatte ich keine Ahnung von der Geschichte und allem. Ich dachte nur, es wäre eine neue und unterhaltsame Art, mich selbst zu testen. Dann bekam ich diesen Gürtel nach meinem Sieg bei der ersten Show und fand heraus, was für eine große Sache das ist.”

 

 

 

Rawlings schloss, “Ich bin zum Glück gesund. Meine Hände waren nach meinem ersten Kampf mit bloßen Fingerknöcheln tatsächlich stärker geschwollen. Ich werde wahrscheinlich im Dezember wieder gut gehen, Aber ich bin der Champion und ich bin hier, um gegen jeden zu kämpfen, den sie vor mich stellen.”

 

 

 

Der erste von zwei Schwergewichts-Turnier-Halbfinalkämpfen sah einen donnernden Austausch als Arnold Adams gestoppt Joey Beltran :09 in den fünften Frame. Ein äußerst ruhiger und eingesammelter Adams kontrollierte einen Großteil der Aktion.

 

 

 

“Ich wusste, dass ich gewinnen würde. Ich machte mir keine Sorgen um Beltran, Er hat viele Schlachten gehabt,” sagte Adams. “Ich glaube einfach nicht, dass er das mehr in sich hat, aber er hat Herz und er hat es heute Abend gezeigt, dass er konkurrieren will. Ich habe allerdings Hunger, Er war an der Spitze und nahm an einigen großen Shows teil. Ich bin noch nicht ganz dort angekommen, Aber dies ist meine Zeit und ich werde den Moment nutzen.”

 

 

 

In der ersten Runde, Adams schnitt Beltran über sein linkes Auge. Als sich das Ende der vierten Runde näherte, Adams landete einen weiteren verheerenden Schlag, der den Schnitt weiter öffnete, zwingt den Ringarzt, den Kampf zu beenden.

 

 

 

“Ich habe ihn in der ersten Runde geschnitten, aber dieser letzte Stoß, der ihn schnitt, sah ich, wie das Blut um sein Auge floss,” fügte Adams hinzu. “Wie ein Hai, Ich habe ihn eingesperrt. Ich leckte meine Lippen, Meine Augen wurden groß und ich tat, was ich brauchte, um den Sieg zu holen.”

 

 

 

Im zweiten Schwergewichts-Turnier-Halbfinale, ich Shewmaker unterlegen Maurice Jackson durch Split Decision (49-45, 48-45, 48-46).

 

 

 

“Ich versuchte hineinzukommen und zur Arbeit zu gehen, aber er wollte mich einfach weiter einpacken,” sagte Shewmaker. “Sein Stil hat mich wirklich daran gehindert, meinen Spielplan zu verwenden. Jedes Mal, wenn ich hineinging, klammerte er sich fest. Es war sehr frustrierend. Und es ist schwer, aus der Ferne mit einem so großen Mann zu arbeiten.”

 

 

 

Jackson hat es geschafft, ein paar saubere Schüsse zu landen, Shewmaker mit einem linken Haken fangen, der ihn in der zweiten Runde fallen ließ.

 

 

 

“Er hat mich mit ein paar guten Schüssen erwischt, eine Art hinter meinem Kopf, die mich niedergeschlagen hat, but I just popped back up and kept fighting,” added Shewmaker. “The knockdown didn’t really bother me, just knocked me a little off balance. I felt fine shortly after.

 

 

 

The wins by Adams and Shewmaker set up the finals of the heavyweight tournament with the pair expected to face each other at BKFC 3.

 

 

 

It’s time to turn it up,” sagte Adams. “Sam Shewmaker has power in both hands, but I’m ready for anyone.

 

 

 

I expect fireworks when I face Adams,” sagte Shewmaker. “He has a good jab, but I have a good jab too and I like to bang. So, it should make for a great matchup in the finals.

Here are what press conference participants had to say Thursday:

 

BEC RAWLINGS

 

 

 

Training in California was great to just get acclimated to the time change and the weather, because it’s winter in Australia. We went back to my old gym, Alliance MMA, and just finished off camp there. It was a really good finish to the camp. We had time to not feel rushed and get into fight mode.

 

 

 

My opponent is very confident, just from what I’ve seen of her today she’s very confident in her skill set. Aber, I feel like confidence sometimes is the downfall of people. I don’t think she realizes this is bare knuckle boxing. This is not professional boxing, we don’t have gloves on and you can’t get away with the stuff that you can get away with in normal boxing. I think it’s going to take me punching her in the face to realize that.

 

 

 

I definitely feel like I have the edge, I have the experience not only in MMA with the small gloves but experience with having my debut on BKFC 1. I don’t think it’ll make it past the third round.

 

 

 

Having the bare knuckle experience is a huge advantage. I went into that last fight with a lot of unknown. I had so much fun out there and saw how my style really suits this sport. I’m taking that into this fight. I’m relaxed, I’m ready to go and I’m excited to get in there.

 

 

 

I think she fancies herself a boxer, so I think she might stick behind her jab, stick and move that kind of thing. I’m ready for either style. I thought that my last opponent was going to do that but she came out swinging. I’m ready either way. You’re always guaranteed fireworks when I’m fighting. It doesn’t matter who I’m put in front of, you know it has to be a fight, and that’s what you can expect Saturday night.

 

 

 

It’s been really awesome to be a trailblazer for BKFC. I knew I would get some news and some press and that people would like what I’m doing. The support has really been amazing. I’ve gotten so many fans and so much new respect from other fighters as well. It’s definitely taking off, and it’s really cool to be at the forefront of the whole thing.

 

KENDALL GROVE

 

 

 

I don’t really know what to expect. I’m a fighter and I’m of course coming to fight. But we’ll see if I’m going to be a smart fighter like I said I’d be. I could jab and pick my spots and put him away. But then again brawling has got me to where I am and got me a lot of notoriety. So why can’t I do both? Natürlich, once you get hit, everything goes out the window. Ego gets involved and sometimes you just go for it.

 

 

 

There might be some more stinging and burning than I usually feel in a gloved fight. I sparred without gloves a while ago because I was curious and I felt some of that. My hands felt alright but there is that slightly different sensation from the bone on bone contact.

 

 

 

This is going to be a real fight. I respect my opponent and I know he’s coming to give me his best. He’s going to come for me. But I’m going to do me and figure out how to get the win.

 

 

 

I’m very excited to be a part of BKFC. This is a great organization and I’m going to try to make a great impression on everyone.

 

 

 

It’s definitely been an interesting 48-hours trying to get here from Hawaii. Luckily I was able to take care of everything at home and make sure my family is prepared for the hurricane. Now I’m here and ready to go.

 

CHRIS LYTLE

 

 

 

I think no matter what you’re going to see two people who are trying to knock each other out. I don’t believe in decisions. If you got two really tough guys and they land a lot of punches and nobody goes down, you’re going to have a great fight and people are going to like it.

 

 

 

My goal is to go out there and hit him as hard as I can and I think he’s going to have the same strategy against me. So I anticipate a really exciting fight. You’re not going to be bored during our fight.

 

 

 

“Hier ist das Ding, I’ve had a lot of fights, probably 100 of one form of combat sports or another, so I know what I’m getting in to. I fought many times. There’s going to be a little bit of moving around and me trying to be a little bit smarter. Mit bloßen Knöcheln können Sie nicht die gleichen Dinge tun wie mit Handschuhen.

 

 

 

“Das ist so cool für mich. Ich bekomme immer Leute, die mit mir reden und sagen: "Warum kommst du nicht für einen weiteren Kampf zurück??’ „Ich möchte dich kämpfen sehen.’ Es scheint immer der erste Gesprächspunkt zu sein. Also einfach wieder in der Lage zu sein, Ich bin sehr gespannt. Ich habe mit vielen Leuten gesprochen, die sehr aufgeregt sind, dass ich zurückkomme und etwas unternehme. Ich freue mich darauf, dass sie auf Pay-per-View-Ebene zuschauen können.

 

 

 

“Ich freue mich sehr darauf, da draußen zu sein und das Gefühl zu bekommen, wieder im Ring zu sein. Ich hatte viele Boxkämpfe, aber ich konnte schon lange nicht mehr boxen, da ich hauptsächlich UFC gemacht habe. So to be back in the boxing ring is going to make me very happy.

 

 

 

We’re both going to throw hard punches. I think somebody’s going to land a better one and I think somebody’s going to get hurt.

 

SAM SHEWMAKER

 

 

 

It was an honor to be a part of the first event. It’s history in the making. It’s also a humbling experience and a lot of fun. The fans, the promotional team, and everyone that put it all together just made it a great time.

 

 

 

 

To be able to have a victory like that, a highlight-reel finish, was amazing. I had never fought on a stage that big and it was just awesome to have the exposure and to be able to put on a good show for the fans.

 

 

 

There’s going to be fireworks Saturday night. It might not be as quick of a finish, but I can tell you it’s not going to be a decision. Somebody is going down I can promise you that.

 

 

 

This is going to be a brawl. He wants to stay on the outside, he’s going to want to use his jab and his straight right to keep me to the outside. I want to get chest to chest with this guy and just bang him up on the inside. So I’m expecting it to be a dog fight and I’m predicting a first-round knockout.

 

HARRIS STEPHENSON

 

 

 

I just want to say that I’m happy to be here and I can’t tell you how special this promotion has been. I’m so thrilled that my home has accepted BKFC with open arms and I hope we can have several more events here.

 

 

 

Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum is a huge venue and I think we’re going to pack it. I’m happy that I’m going to be fighting early on the card, because I want to see these fights myself. These are action-packed bouts and I assure you that you don’t want to miss it.

 

DAVID FELDMAN, Founder and President of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship

 

 

 

It’s my great pleasure to be here in the great state of Mississippi, which is officially the second state to allow bare knuckle fighting in the history of the United States. I’m very excited about the response we’ve gotten from the fans here and I know the fighters can’t wait to put on a show for them.

 

 

 

It gives me chills to say that we’re here for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 2. The first BKFC show was titled ‘The Beginning’, because it was truly the beginning of something special. Now we’ve named this show ‘A New Era’, because we really are officially ushering in a new era in combat sports.

 

 

 

We have some of the best fighters in the world and fighters who have fought on really big stages. They’re all excited to be a part of this growing sport. We have fighters from all around the world stepping into the ring for a slew of sensational matchups.

LOS ANGELES (August 17, 2018) – Die “Queen of Bare Knuckle” Bec Rawlings met with media in Los Angeles on Thursday to discuss her return to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) and offer an inside look into the bare knuckle discipline.

 

 

 

Rawlings will be stepping into the ring at “BKFC 2: A New Era am Samstag, August 25 vom Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi and broadcast live across the United States and Canada on pay-per-view in state-of-the-art 4K.

 

 

 

Tickets are available now exclusively at www.bareknuckle.tv von $35 bis $250. “BKFC 2: A New Era” wird in den Vereinigten Staaten und Kanada ausgestrahlt, ausschließlich im Pay-per-View durch Multivision Medien, Inc. auf allen großen TV-und Streaming-Vertriebsstellen für $29.95.

 

 

 

Rawlings scored a thrilling victory in the inaugural BKFC event and will return to BKFC 2 to take on professional boxer Britain Hart. Rawlings was joined by BKFC pay-per-view analyst Benny Ricardo, as well as her coach John Bastable, to go over the technical points of bare knuckle fighting, including the unique hand-wrapping technique.

 

 

 

Here is what Rawlings, Ricardo and Bastable had to say Thursday from City of Angels Boxing Gym in Los Angeles:

 

BEC RAWLINGS, Former UFC Fighter; Defeated Alma Garcia at BKFC 1

 

 

 

On Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship

 

 

 

It took a lot of time and effort to really get MMA respected and looked at like a proper sport, and I think it’s going to take that with bare knuckle. But from the last event and how smoothly that ran, how professional it was, the fights were great. We all looked like seasoned fighters out there, which we were, and I think that’s what we definitely need to keep doing and it will progress from there.

 

 

 

I think the U.S. and even Australia one day will open up to doing bare knuckle as well, because it’s such a great event. It’s a great fighting sport, and it wasn’t any crazier than MMA and boxing, as you saw from the last event.

 

 

 

BKFC is doing it right, they’re doing it very professionally. They’re bringing in all the right people and all the right fighters. As long as it keeps going that way, I think the sport is going to take off.

 

 

 

“Viele Boxfans kommen vorbei, weil sie den Stand-up-Aspekt des Boxens lieben und dies ist nur eine neue Coolness, Spaß Twist. Es bringt es zurück in die alte Schule.

 

 

 

“Sogar rund um die lokale Szene in Australien, Ich war mit der UFC im Kampf und gewann mit der UFC und ich konnte um eine Box-Promotion herumlaufen und niemand würde eine Wimper auf mich schlagen. Sie würden mich anerkennen, aber sie interessierten sich nicht für das, was ich tat. Aber als ich unterschrieb, um gegen die Knöchel zu kämpfen, sprachen so viele Leute mit mir und gaben mir wirklich ermutigende Botschaften.

 

 

 

“So, es hat irgendwie alle Boxfans dazu gebracht, wirklich dahinter zu kommen und sich darauf zu freuen. Es war ziemlich cool.”

 

 

 

Über Kämpfe bei BKFC 1…

 

 

 

“Ich habe mich endlich eingelebt, als ich einen wirklich sauberen Uppercut landete. Geschlagen werden, it didn’t feel any different than MMA at all. It’s more like a sting than a thud for a boxing glove.

 

 

 

The only difference I found was punching her, if you didn’t select where you were going to punch you felt it a little bit in your knuckles, but nothing crazy. The swelling was quite bad, but I swell and bruise really easily. It wasn’t too far different from MMA.

 

 

 

After BKFC 1, I had multiple messages from fighters in Australia, die US-, even people with the UFC, asking me how I was treated, if it was fun, if I would do it again and how they could get involved.

 

 

 

It was just a whole bunch of different emotions, but a lot of interest in it. And I’ve got a lot of Australians wanting to get involved. Australians love to fight. I don’t think you’ve ever come across an Australian boxer that doesn’t go in there and leave it all in that ring. It’s ingrained in us. This sport is definitely built for an Australian.

 

 

 

On her upcoming bout at BKFC 2

 

 

 

Nothing has really changed on our side of it. My coach is a kung fu and open hand combat expert, so everything he has known for years we have just translated into the boxing aspect of it.

 

 

 

I guess we now know what to expect fight week, what it’s going to be like in there. That was kind of the unknown back (im Juni). But I had so much fun last time, and I’m excited to get back in there and do it all again.

 

 

 

Bare knuckle was meant for me. I can’t wait to face off against Britain Hart on August 25th. This sport is all about precision and I know she’s going to come to fight and try to take this momentum from me. I’m not going to let that happen.

 

BENNY RICARDO, BKFC Pay-Per-View Analyst

 

 

 

“BKFC 1 in Cheyenne (Wyoming) was the first time in 130 years that a bare knuckle fight was sanctioned in the United States. So, it is a long time coming.

 

 

 

With bare knuckle fighting you need to be very precise. You have to punch through your index finger and middle finger and transfer that through the forearm where it cushions the blow. Outside of that you are going to break your hand.

 

 

 

A fight has five two-minute rounds. There’s not much of a feeling out period.

 

 

 

When I saw Joey Beltran was going to fight Tony Lopez I knew it was the fight of the night, and sure enough it was. That was a lesson in managing the time. At the beginning, Tony was feeling him out and by the third round he got into his rhythm, but it was too late.

 

 

 

For the men, it has always been three-minute rounds. So, they have to find a way to manage the two-minute rounds in BKFC.

 

 

 

The rules of (BKFC) are similar to boxing rules, which is David Feldman’s way of convincing the states. MMA fighters use Knees, shins and elbows.

 

 

 

Sam Shewmaker had the shot of the night. He fought a special forces guy who was chiseled and 305 Pfund. I didn’t think he had a chance. Then you see him in the fight and land that overhand right. It was over.

 

 

 

What you can enjoy with bare knuckle fighting, that you can’t with boxing now, is the best fighting the best.

 

 

 

On the television side, MultiVision is sparing nothing to do this. BKFC 1 and BKFC 2 both being produced in 4K is tremendous, and you can see the action with extreme clarity.

 

JOHN BASTABLE, Rawlings’ Trainer

 

 

 

They supplied wraps, bandages and tape, so that is what we used. For myself, it was the first time we wrapped like this because we had never competed in bare knuckle before.

 

 

 

It was the first time for all of us. The basis of the wrap is that the four knuckles of the hand are fully exposed.

 

 

 

The thumb and the wrist are stabilized, but besides that it is bare knuckle.

 

 

 

“Nach dem Kampf, (Bec) had no damage to the wrist at all and no breaks in the hand at all, so the support worked. There was swelling and bruising, but the tape did the job.

Rite Hook Promotions News und Notizen

Oktober 10, 2017 (Biloxi, FRAU) - Rite Hook Promotions hat eine erfolgreiche Reihe professioneller Boxshows in der Region Biloxi durchgeführt, zuletzt Juli 29 im Climb Event Center im nahe gelegenen Gulfport. William Hunter, CEO von Rite Hook, öffnete Türen für lokale Kämpfer und mehrere Boxer, die unter dem Banner von Rite Hook Promotions durch seine Kampfkarten sowie durch verschiedene Beziehungen zu Promotern in den USA unterzeichnet wurden.
• Javonn „Pinkie“ Barnes von Rite Hook Promotions erklärte sich bereit, gegen den Weltergewichtskandidaten Karim Mayfield zu kämpfen Oktober 21in seiner Heimatstadt San Francisco, SOWIE. Die unbesiegte Barnes, Wer ist aus Atlanta, war im Trainingslager und bereitete sich auf die Gelegenheit vor und Mayfield rührte den Topf, indem er auf Barnes 'Social-Media-Seiten über Müll redete. Zur Überraschung von Barnes und Hunter, Ein Kontakt kam nie und Mayfield kämpft stattdessen gegen Miguel Dumas aus Mexiko.
Hunter glaubt, dass die Größe von 5'11 Barnes ein Problem für Mayfield war. Der letzte Feind Mayfield, 5‚7, Gesicht 5'11 oder größer war wieder in 2008. Obwohl der Mayfield-Kampf vom Tisch ist, Barnes wird weiterhin Weltklasse-Sparring erhalten, wenn er sich dem Trainingslager von Regis Prograis anschließt, um sich auf seinen bevorstehenden Kampf gegen Viktor Postol vorzubereiten. Hunter verhandelt, um Barnes auf die undercard zu bekommen.
• Mike „Beton” Bissett kam zu kurz August 25 Herausforderung für die NABF-Schwergewichtsmeisterschaft gegen den hart schlagenden Laron Mitchell.

Going for Glory: Rite Hook Promotions’ Woods and Bissett to travel for opportunities

 

Biloxi, FRAU (Mai 6, 2016) – Rite Hook Promotions CEO William Hunter is not afraid to present his fighters with challenging and potential career changing opportunities. Having successfully promoted and built his boxers locally in Biloxi, Hunter is a firm believer that fighters can win anywhere under fair circumstances.

“It’s always a pleasure working with hungry fighters that aren’t scared to bite down on their mouthpiece and give it everything they’ve got whether it’s in a tune up fight or against the best in the world. There are only a handful of guys willing to take these opportunities and see that there’s a bigger picture if they win.”

Two of those men are Rite Hook’s very own Manny “Shake em’ Up” Woods and Mike “Concrete” Bissett.

Living and fighting out of St. Petersburg, FL, Woods travels to Lincoln, RI to challenge undefeated Jimmy Williams Freitag, Mai 13 in a six round junior middleweight bout. A former football standout who received multiple NFL tryouts, Williams is 10-0-1 mit 5 knockouts and fought all of his bouts in Connecticut or Rhode Island. While undefeated, Williams hasn’t fought the same level of opposition as Woods.

With a solid 15-4-1 ledger and 5 Knockouts, Woods won five of his last six bouts and is fresh off a unanimous decision victory over tough Mexican Elias Espadas last month. Zu Beginn seiner Karriere, Woods outpointed future title contender Wilky Campfort and then unbeaten Shelden Moore. With an experience advantage and recent hot streak, Hunter is confident his fighter will be the first to defeat Williams.

“First and foremost I respect Jimmy because he’s a great athlete and has been through a lot in his personal life. I think he’s a good boxer but Manny’s already been in deep waters. He knows what it’s like to have the odds stacked against him and do what he has to in order to get the W. Jimmy’s never been in this position before and I believe he’s biting off more than he can chew against Manny.“

One week later in Central Point, ODER, Bissett faces highly touted Mike Wilson in a cruiserweight matchup. A two-time US amateur champion, Wilson is 13-0 mit 7 victories by KO and was considered a top prospect when he came out of the amateurs. Currently doubling as a fighter and promoter, Wilson’s last five bouts took place in his native Oregon and he’s stopped his last three foes.

Born in Mississippi and based in Tampa, FL, the hard-hitting Bissett’s professional ledger reads 10-8 mit 7 Knockouts. He’s fought a number of notable fighters including 2012 Olympians Michael Hunter and Dominic Breazeale, rising star Stivens Bujaj and then unbeaten Milos Pantelic twice. A winner in three of his last four, Bissett’s career best victory came in 2014 when he outpointed popular contender Nicholas Iannuzzi. Much like his stalemate Woods against Williams, Bissett has the experience advantage having been in tough multiple times.

“Wilson is a very good fighter and I’ve heard about him for years. He’s done a great job of promoting himself and building the sport of boxing in Oregon. Mit dieser sagte, Mike Bissett has been in the ring with a number of top cruiserweights and proven his toughness. I think both him and Manny will make statements in the upcoming weeks and move onto bigger fights.”
