Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz No longer best kept secret after Tyson-Jones, Малодшы. PPV show performance
Вустер, Маса. (Снежні 14, 2020) – Prior to his sensational performance on the recent Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Малодшы. pay-per-view event, undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine «Тэхнік» Орціс was boxing’s best kept secret. No more, хоць, as Ortiz firmly established himself as a rising star in front of countless fans among the 1.6 million PPV buys.
Ortiz flew from Boston to Los Angeles on Thanksgiving. He was driven to his hotel, where he immediately saw Jones, checked his weight, and walked to Staples Center. “I was comfortable from the start,” said the young fighter who was fighting for the first time as a professional outside of New England. “I was there to get the job done. I was on a mission. I walk to see the Staples Center and that was cool. I later took my run around the Staples Center and there were a lot of statues. It was beautiful. It was cool seeing the Lakers locker-room.”
The 24-year-old Ortiz (14-0, 8 КО), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, накаўтаваўSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 КО) with a bruising body attack, hurting his opponent in the sixth round, and closing the show in spectacular fashion in the seventh for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (U.S) Silver lightweight title. Segawa had never been stopped before as a professional.
Ortiz displayed his overall arsenal: stiff jab, lightning quick hands and feet, switching back and forth effortlessly from orthodox to southpaw stances, punishing hooks up and down, and the most lethal body shots seen from a New Englander since“Irish” Micky Ward.
“I was calm and cool before the fight,” Ortiz added. “I like to go into a fight, разумова, like it was a sparring session and I always do good. I started out in an orthodox stance, established my jab and used it a lot. I think I should have used it more and could have beaten him with it. I listened to my coach (Рокі Гансалес) and he told me when to switch. Body punching is the No. 1 thing with Rocky. I may not have shown it nearly as much in other fights, but he drills that into me all the time. In the sixth round, he told me to go more to the body, not looking to catch him, and in the seventh I really hurt him to the body.
“Segawa was definitely tough. He had beaten a lot of guys, including a few he upset. Every fight is a stepping-stone and I’m my worst critic. I felt that I could have knocked him out in the second round, but I didn’t want to go off the game plan
Ortiz set-up Segawa from the opening bell, зламаў яго, and finished the show in grand style as Seqawa was hurt and trapped on the ropes, drawing kudos from highly respected people in the industry such as“Sugar” Ray Leonard, Тэдзі Атлас, and others. Ortiz’ fanbase grew exponentially as boxing fans rushed to sign up to follow Jamaine during and after his breakout fight.
“Once people saw me perform and my style,” Ortiz continued, “they liked me. I could have shown more and thrown more combinations. I really needed to fight in front of the world. I got 5,500 new Instagram flowers that night. I guess, I’m no longer the best kept secret in boxing.”
“Our main goal is to win a world title,” Gonzalez commented. “This was fun and a great opportunity, but the motivation to be world champion is stronger. He dealt with this fight as just another fight, and he followed our game plan.
“His body shots set up the ending. I’m always telling him about Micky Ward’s body shots. You know, boxing is a dance, a salsa. Boxers need to dance; I don’t think they should just be orthodox. They all need to fight the other way and when Jamaine switched stances in the third, he never let up. I’ve trained him hard. I’m always on him and what better way to shut me up than ending it like he did on pay per view? It was a drop the microphone moment!"
Ortiz is promoted byДжымі Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports) and advised byRichard Shappy іEddie Imondi.
Because of the uncertainty in boxing due to the pandemic, Ortiz’ 2021 schedule is unknown, but he isn’t boxing’s best kept secret anymore, “The Technician” is a bonafide rising star.
Undefeated lightweight prospect JAMAINE “THE TECHNICIAN” ORTIZ Hopes to Steal Tyson-Jones Junior Show
Вустер, Маса. (Лістапада 17, 2020) – Undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine «Тэхнік» Орціс (13-0, 7 КО), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, hopes to steal the show on the November 28й Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Малодшы. pay-per-view card, presented by Tyson’s Legends Only League, at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The 24-year-old Ortiz, fighting out of Worcester, Масачусэтс, will fight on the undercard against Maryland southpawSulaiman Segawa (13-2-1, 4 КО) in an 8-round bout for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (U.S) lightweight title.
“I feel good and I’m ready,” Ortiz said. “I’m privileged for this opportunity to fight on the Tyson-Jones card and get good exposure. I hope to steal the show. As a kid, I followed them both, especially Jones. I tried to imitate him”
Like all fighters, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected his career, although he has managed to train, albeit in various gyms and mostly by himself.
“It wasn’t too bad,” added Ortiz, who is an apprentice carpenter. “Not all of the facilities I use to train were open. Early on, I trained by myself, and did a lot of running. We were quarantined until late June, early July, but then I was able to get good sparring. So, ў цэлым, it wasn’t too much of a change.”
Ortiz is promoted byДжымі Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports) and advised byRichard Shappy іEddie Imondi.
“We’re happy our fighter, Jamaine Ortiz, will be getting such great exposure and he will show the world what we already know here in New England,” Shappy commented. “Jamaine ‘The Technician’ Ortiz is a force that will have to be reckoned with.”
One of the best all-time…. 1988 Olympic silver medalist Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe
Каларада-Спрынгс, Круг. (Сакавіка 9, 2020) – By any standards, U.S. Olympian and former unified World heavyweight champion Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe is inarguably one of the all-time greatest boxers, аматарскія і прафесійныя.
Born and raised in the infamous Brownsville section of Brooklyn, Нью-Ёрк, which also produced fellow World heavyweight championsМайк Тайсан іШэнан Брыгс, Bowe started boxing at 13 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant Boxing Association Gym.
“I wanted to do everythingМухамед Алі did,” Bowe explained why he got into boxing. “He was my idol. I wanted to join the Marines, but I fell in love with boxing and stayed with it. I forgot about the Marines.”
Bowe developed his craft and became an outstanding boxer, кампіляцыі 104-18 аматарскія запісы, highlighted by his controversial silver-medal winning performance at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Паўднёвая Карэя.
A four-time New York Golden Gloves champion, Bowe also captured top honors at the 1986 Junior World Championships, along with a bronze medal at the 1987 Панамерыканскія гульні, despite fighting in his final match with a fractured hand he hid from his coaches.
Bowe had a rivalry withRobert Salters, with whom he split four matches, but he defeated Salters, 3-2, ў ЗША. Box-Offs to qualify for the 1988 USA Boxing Olympic Team. His Olympic teammates includedРой Джонс, Малодшы., Рэй Мерсер, Kennedy McKinney іAndrew Maynard.
Controversary surrounded his Olympic championship fight against future World heavyweight champion, Canadian super heavyweight Ленакс Льюіс, who returned home with the Olympic gold medal. During his fight with Lewis, Bowe was deducted a point for a “ghost” head butt that never happened, and the referee gave Bowe a pair of disputed standing-eight counts, the last of which resulted in the stoppage of the fight in Lewis’ favor.
“That fight never should have been stopped,” Bowe commented. “I’m still happy about winning a silver medal. I still have it. And then I turned pro. My mother had 13 kids and I wanted to make my mother happy. I wanted to buy her a house. That’s what inspired me to box.”
“Bowe’s success as an amateur and professional has made him a household name amongst USA Boxing Alumni,"СказаўКрыс Кульяры, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. “His combination of power and skill, along with his legendary battles with other USA Boxing Alumni at the pro ranks, establishes him as one of the greatest fighters that USA Boxing has ever produced.”

With legendary trainerЭдзі Futch у сваім куце, Bowe became the first truly unified World heavyweight champion, winning the title belt for all four recognized major sanctioning bodies: WBC, WBA, IBF і WBO.
Bowe retired with an amazing 43-1 (33 КО) pro record. He had a 5-1 (4 КО) mark in world title fights, 7-1 (5 КО) versus past world heavyweight champions such asЭвандер Холіфілд (двойчы), Пинклон Томас, Тоні Таббс, Bruce Seldon, Michael Dokes іHerbie Hyde.
Bowe later avenged his lone pro loss to Holyfield, winning two of three fights with the “Real Deal.”
“I’m very happy with my pro career,” Bowe added. “I beat Holyfield two times and I think it should have been three. I’m not a sore loser, but I was the World heavyweight champion. How did he win that fight? The challenger needs to take the belt from the champion, and he didn’t do that. I thought I won by a point, at worst, maybe it should have been a draw, but I shouldn’t have lost the fight. I did become the first to ever knockout Holyfield. My pro career wasn’t too bad. I kept working hard and became two-time World heavyweight champion.”
Зараз 51 and living in Maryland, Bowe has some advice for the American boxers trying to qualify for the 2020 Team USA Boxing Olympic Team.
“Just don’t think about it,” stressed Bowe, sounding like a Nike commercial. “Just do it! It worked for me. I showed up and didn’t think about it. And always finish strong.”
Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2015, left his mark in amateur and pro boxing. Nobody can ever take that away from the big guy from Brownsville.

Two-Division World Champion Michael Spinks Confirmed for Sixth Annual Box Fan Expo, During Cinco de Mayo Weekend, Saturday May 2, ў Лас-Вегасе
Знакаміты менеджэр Джэкі Каллен прадказвае непераможны Mykquan Уільямс стане яе шостым чэмпіёнам свету
МАНЧЕСТЕР, Канэктыкут. (Лютага 12, 2020) - піянер жанчын уДжэкі Каллен, першы і, магчыма, найбольш паспяховыя жанчыны-менеджэр ў гісторыі бокса, цвёрда верыць непераможны 21-гадовы«Дзівосны» Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 КО) будзе развівацца ў яе шосты чэмпіён свету.
Уільямс, змагаюцца з Іст-Хартфард, Канэктыкут, якая пануе Сусветная баксёрская рада (WBC) Злучаныя Штаты Амерыка супер лёгкі вага.
«MYKEY мае шмат якасцяў, як некаторыя з вялікіх людзей у боксе,»Сказаў Каллен. «У яго ёсць некаторыя ўспышкі і хуткасці знішчальнікаў, як Рэй Леанард, і навучальныя навыкі і адданасць Томас Хернс і Майк Тайсан. У яго таксама ёсць забойца ўсмешка і добры знешні выгляд, як Эктар Камачо, Sr.
«MYKEY можа прайсці ўвесь шлях да сусветнага тытула. Ён мае хуткасць, стаўленне, і сэрца, нароўні з выключнымі здольнасцямі бокса. Ён быў дагледжаны выдатна яго трэнер, Пол Cichon, хто захаваў MYKEY верны свайму стылю, прыкладаем усе намаганні, каб удасканальваць сваё майстэрства. MYKEY цягніка цяжка, з'ядае права, і прымае гульню сур'ёзна «.
«Джэкі вельмі дасведчаны і дасведчаны ў боксе,»Адзначыў Уільямс. «Яна працавала з некаторымі вялікімі, сусветнага класа знішчальнікаў, так што яна ведае маршрут, каб узяць для мяне, каб атрымаць там «.
Cichon дадаў, «Я шукаў Джэкі ~ d, як наш менеджэр з-за сваю любоў да спорту, а таксама веды аб тым, што яна прыносіць да стала. Яна карыстаецца вялікай павагай, так як яна, безумоўна, заслугоўвае таго, каб быць «.
Бокс рэзка змяніўся з тых часоў Каллен закрыла першы бой для штодзённай газеты Detroit ў 1978. Карта прадэманстравала Хернс імікі Гудвін. Яна імгненна стала фанатам і пісаў пра бокс на рэгулярнай аснове. Легендарны трэнер / менеджэр грунтуецца ў Дэтройце, Эмануэль Сцюард, наняў яе ў якасці публіцыста яго славутай Кронк Gym. Некаторыя з яе лепшых сяброў у гэты дзень байцы, якія яна працавала з тады. Яна і Hearns ўсё яшчэ збіраюцца разам.
Пасля службы ў якасці публіцыста Кронка на працягу дзесяці гадоў, Каллен вырашыла пашырыцца, і яна пачала кіраўнікі баец. Яе першы кліент быў цяжкавагавікBobby словы, які сёння з'яўляецца паспяховым прамоўтэрам і рэстаратар ў Чыкага. Яна працягвала кіраваць групай Хто ёсць хто барацьбіты, у тым ліку чэмпіёны светуДжэймс Тоні, Bronco McKart, Том «Boom Boom» Джонсан, Пинклон Томас іНонито Донэр.
Каллен, які перамог сексізм ў індустрыі бокса, з'яўляецца самым вядомым, магчыма, для яе працоўныя адносіны з Тоні, у значнай ступені таму, што яе жыццё ў той перыяд была натхненнем для папулярнага 2004 фільм, супраць Вяроўкі, у галоўнай роліМег Райан у Каллен.
«Бокс сёння гэта зусім іншае жывёла,»Патлумачыла яна. «Гэта не азначае, што лепш ці горш, проста розныя. Там раней было больш спартыўных залаў у кожным горадзе, праграмы цяжкія аматарскія, шмат паказаў на тэлевізійных сетках, і досыць мясцовы клуб шоу трымаць малады баец актыўна. Я, хлопцы, тады хто біўся 8 для 10 раз у год, які, вядома, практычна немагчыма 2020.
«Там не было столькі інфармацыі, якая маецца на суперніках небудзь. Калі вам пашанцавала, Вы можаце купіць стужку. Калі баец не быў на тэлебачанні, хоць, Вы не пашанцавала. Там не было інтэрнэту, так што не было нічога падобнага Boxrec праверыць запісу апанентаў. Вы проста павінны былі верыць свацця. Я байцы чакаў змагацца 14-4 хлопец, які даведаўся на узважванні, што ён быў на самай справе 16-0 «.
Бокс, хутчэй за ўсё, другая найстаражытная прафесія, працягвае выжываць, хоць часта на паездку амерыканскіх горак.
«Сённяшнія байцы не так хутка, каб змагацца адзін з адным, як яны былі ў дні Hearns / Hagler / Leonard / Дзюран,»Адзначыў Каллен. "Тады, байцы хацелі сапраўды змагацца, каб быць у лепшым выпадку яны маглі б быць. Я бачу байцоў сёння з'яўляецца больш аналітычным і прымаючы менш шанцаў.
«Там таксама больш санкцыянаванне арганізацыі сёння. Тады гэта было самы большы WBA, WBC і IBF. Не кажучы ўжо ніколі не было адзін чалавек, якому ўдалося дзесяткі і дзесяткі баксёраў у той жа час. Гульня вызначана змянілася!"
Каллен, хоць па-ранейшаму актыўна ўкладвацца ў спорце яна любіць. Упэўнены Уільямс будзе яе наступным чэмпіёнам свету, яе мара быць уведзены ў Залу славы з Тоні.
«У 1992 годзе,” Каллен заключыў, «Я быў названы" Менеджэр года ", і мая любоў да спорту ніколі не аслабла. Пакуль ёсць талент там маючы патрэбу кіраўніцтва, Я буду заставацца актыўным «.

tony penecale’s Box Fan Expo Ringside report
Па: Тоні Penecale
Quick video intro here:
https://www.facebook.com/TornadoTP/videos/10156003723726436/
Last weekend’s middleweight title showdown between Canelo Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs also featured the annual Box Fan Expo, held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The amazing memorabilia on display and live amateur boxing action complemented an array of past and present world champion fighters available for quick meet and greets.
As a lifelong boxing fan, it was a shame that I only had a little over two hours to spend at the event before heading back to the T-Mobile Arena for the start of the undercard bouts. The time I was able to spend was thoroughly enjoyable. The prices were reasonable to meet these fistic legends and have a few moments to talk and take photos. The average $20 -$25 price for a photo op was significantly less than what would have been lost at the casino in a single roulette spin.
James Toney was there in a suit, proving that he can even make plaid look stylish. For a guy known for a surly nature, he was very accommodating and mentioned he will be in Philadelphia for a live show on June 7 and hopes to see me there.
In the booth next over was Hall-of-Fame broadcaster Al Berstein, who I had the privilege of interviewing in 2011. When told of my admiration of his classy work and being a fan since his days with Barry Tompkins on ESPN’s Thursday Night Fights, he was humble and appreciative.
The line to meet Roy Jones Jr. was long but worth the wait. While the time to talk with Roy was short, I was able to mention what an honor it was to meet one of the greatest performers of my generation and how I sat only a few feet from him when he was on the Creed II set.
While the line to meet the legendary Sugar Ray Leonard was exceptionally long, you could see he was truly enjoying himself, flashing that million-dollar smile and doing his famous fists-raised photo op with fans. Unfortunately, with time running short, I did not have the opportunity to meet one of my favorite fighters growing up. I would have loved to have shown him a photo when I was four-years-old, swinging away on the Sugar Ray Leonard punching bag I was given.
A few feet away was one of Sugar Ray’s most-famous rivals, the great Thomas “Hitman” Hearns. While the Hitman has shown some slowing as he has aged, he still proves to be an imposing figure, but he now replaces that fearsome glare with a warm smile.
Also coming up to meet Thomas Hearns was current IBF Super-Featherweight Champion Tevin Farmer, a fellow Philadelphian, who I’ve had the opportunity to watch grow from a 7-4-1 journeyman boxer to a 29-4-1 чэмпіён свету.
My visit wouldn’t be complete without stopping to see “The Pazmanian Devil” Vinny Paz, always one of my favorite action fighters and charismatic personalities. Instead of a handshake, he greeted me with a big hug and expressed disappointment that my dad didn’t join me at the expo.
In the short time frame, it was impossible to meet all of the great fighters there including Michael Spinks, Риддик Боу, Эррол Спенс, Энтані Диррелл, and Earnie Shavers. With it being Cinco de Mayo weekend, the lines for some of the Mexican legends wrapped around the convention center floor. Майкі Гарсія, Marco Antonio Barerra, Эрык Маралес, and Juan Manuel Marquez all proved to be exceptionally popular. But nothing compared to the roar of the pro-Mexican crowd when the great Julio Cesar Chavez was introduced.
Attending this event was a dream come true and I could only wish I had more time to spend at the event. Everything was so professionally done and those in attendance were beyond accommodating.
Kudos to Box Fan Expo for such an exceptional event.
Listen to our radio show episode from earlier this week for more insight from Tony “Тарнада” Penecale about this event.
