“”I was excited to fight Farmer on a great Triller show,” Ziani said, “especially because it is my dream to win a World title in the United States. “I am surprised to hear that Farmer has chickened out of our fight, but I suppose je knows his boxing is slipping downwards.

“I want you, Petani! Accept the fight and be a real warrior. Don’t run away from me. I want to box in the capital of boxing, the United States, to show American fans what I can do. They say you’re a technician, I will show you that I am a true warrior.

Ziani’s last loss was 4 ½ years ago to World title challenger and fellow Frenchman,Guillaume Frenois (41-1), by a razor-thin margin, 115-113 tiga kali, di Paris. Pada awal karirnya, Ziani also suffered a disputed 10-round loss by decision (97-93, 96-94, 96-94) in Denmark to current IBF World Lightweight Champion Richard Commey (18-0) di 2014.

“Ziani is an all-action fighter with an enormous work rate,” the Ireland-based Hyde added. “It would be a tantalizing match between two talented southpaws with the winner going on to fight for the WBC World title.”

The president of NoWhere2Hyde Management, Hyde has managed numerous world-class boxers during his career including world champions Guillermo Rigondeaux,Youri Kalenga dan Simpiwe Vetyeaka.

WORCESTER, Massa. (Bulan Desember 14, 2020) - Sebelum penampilannya yang sensasional pada Mike Tyson-Roy Jones baru-baru ini, Jr. acara bayar-per-tayang, prospek ringan yang tak terkalahkanJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz adalah rahasia tinju yang terbaik. Tidak lagi, meskipun, saat Ortiz dengan tegas memantapkan dirinya sebagai bintang yang sedang naik daun di depan banyak penggemar di antara 1.6 jutaan pembelian PPV.

Ortiz terbang dari Boston ke Los Angeles pada hari Thanksgiving. Dia diantar ke hotelnya, dimana dia segera melihat Jones, memeriksa berat badannya, dan berjalan ke Staples Center. “Saya merasa nyaman sejak awal,Kata petarung muda yang berjuang untuk pertama kalinya sebagai seorang profesional di luar New England. “Saya ada di sana untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaan. Saya sedang dalam misi. Saya berjalan untuk melihat Staples Center dan itu keren. Saya kemudian berlari di sekitar Staples Center dan ada banyak patung. Itu cantik. Sangat menyenangkan melihat ruang ganti Lakers. "

Ortiz yang berusia 24 tahun (14-0, 8 Biaya), Juara Dunia Tinju Remaja Dunia, tersingkirSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 Biaya) dengan serangan tubuh yang memar, melukai lawannya di ronde keenam, dan menutup pertunjukan dengan cara yang spektakuler di urutan ketujuh untuk Dewan Tinju Dunia yang kosong (WBC) USNBC (DIRI KITA) Judul ringan perak. Segawa belum pernah dihentikan sebelumnya sebagai seorang profesional.

Ortiz menampilkan keseluruhan persenjataannya: pukulan keras, tangan dan kaki secepat kilat, beralih bolak-balik dengan mudah dari posisi ortodoks ke kidal, menghukum kait ke atas dan ke bawah, dan tembakan tubuh paling mematikan dilihat dari seorang New Englander sejak ituMicky Ward “Irlandia”.   

“Saya tenang dan keren sebelum laga,Ortiz menambahkan. “Saya suka berkelahi, mental, sepertinya itu adalah sesi perdebatan dan saya selalu melakukan yang terbaik. Saya memulai dengan sikap ortodoks, membuat pukulan saya dan sering menggunakannya. Saya pikir saya seharusnya lebih sering menggunakannya dan bisa mengalahkannya dengan itu. Saya mendengarkan pelatih saya (Rocky Gonzalez) dan dia memberi tahu saya kapan harus beralih. Meninju tubuh adalah TIDAK. 1 hal dengan Rocky. Saya mungkin tidak menunjukkannya sebanyak di pertarungan lain, tapi dia mengebor itu padaku sepanjang waktu. Di babak keenam, dia menyuruhku untuk lebih ke tubuh, tidak ingin menangkapnya, dan di ketujuh aku benar-benar melukai tubuhnya.

“Segawa benar-benar tangguh. Dia telah mengalahkan banyak orang, termasuk beberapa dia kesal. Setiap pertarungan adalah batu loncatan dan saya adalah kritikus terburuk saya. Saya merasa bahwa saya bisa menjatuhkannya di ronde kedua, tapi saya tidak ingin keluar dari rencana permainan

Ortiz mengatur Segawa dari bel pembukaan, pecah dia turun, dan menyelesaikan pertunjukan dengan gaya megah saat Seqawa terluka dan terjebak di tali, menarik pujian dari orang-orang yang sangat dihormati di industri seperti"Gula" Ray Leonard, Teddy Atlas, dan lain-lain. Basis penggemar Ortiz tumbuh secara eksponensial saat penggemar tinju bergegas untuk mendaftar untuk mengikuti Jamaine selama dan setelah pertarungan breakoutnya.

“Begitu orang melihat saya tampil dan gaya saya,Ortiz melanjutkan, “Mereka menyukai saya. Saya bisa saja menunjukkan lebih banyak dan melempar lebih banyak kombinasi. Saya benar-benar perlu bertarung di depan dunia. saya mendapatkan 5,500 Bunga Instagram baru malam itu. saya tebak, Aku bukan lagi rahasia terbaik dalam tinju. "

“Tujuan utama kami adalah memenangkan gelar dunia,Gonzalez berkomentar. “Ini menyenangkan dan kesempatan besar, tapi motivasi untuk menjadi juara dunia lebih kuat. Dia menganggap pertarungan ini hanya sebagai pertarungan lain, dan dia mengikuti rencana permainan kami.

“Tembakan tubuhnya mengatur akhir. Saya selalu memberi tahu dia tentang pengambilan gambar tubuh Micky Ward. Kamu tahu, tinju adalah tarian, sebuah salsa. Petinju perlu menari; Saya tidak berpikir mereka harus ortodoks. Mereka semua harus berjuang dengan cara lain dan ketika Jamaine mengganti posisi di set ketiga, ia tidak pernah membiarkan. Saya telah melatihnya dengan keras. Saya selalu bersamanya dan cara apa yang lebih baik untuk membungkam saya selain mengakhirinya seperti yang dia lakukan di bayar per tayang?  Itu adalah momen mikrofon!"

Ortiz dipromosikan olehJimmy Burchfield (Hiburan dan Olahraga Klasik) dan disarankan olehRichard Shappy danEddie Imondi. 

Karena ketidakpastian dalam tinju akibat pandemi, Ortiz ' 2021 jadwal tidak diketahui, tapi dia bukan lagi rahasia tinju yang terbaik, "The Technician" adalah bintang yang sedang naik daun.

One of the best all-time…. 1988 Olympic silver medalist Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe

Tinggalkan komentar

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan Maret 9, 2020) – By any standards, DIRI KITA. Olympian and former unified World heavyweight champion Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe is inarguably one of the all-time greatest boxers, amatir dan profesional.

Born and raised in the infamous Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York, which also produced fellow World heavyweight championsMike Tyson danShannon Briggs, Bowe started boxing at 13 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant Boxing Association Gym.

“I wanted to do everythingMuhammad Ali 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, kompilasi 104-18 catatan amatir, highlighted by his controversial silver-medal winning performance at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea Selatan.

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 Pan American Games, 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, di luar AS. Box-Offs to qualify for the 1988 USA Boxing Olympic Team. His Olympic teammates includedRoy Jones, Jr., Ray Mercer, Kennedy McKinney danAndrew Maynard.

Controversary surrounded his Olympic championship fight against future World heavyweight champion, Canadian super heavyweight Lennox Lewis, 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,"KataChris Cugliari, 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.”

Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS

Dibuat untuk menjadi juara seumur hidup, hubungan yang saling menguntungkan antara USA Boxing dan alumninya, –petinju, pejabat, pelatih dan penggemar tinju — Asosiasi Alumni menghubungkan generasi juara, menginspirasi dan memberikan kembali kepada juara tinju masa depan USA Boxing, masuk dan keluar dari ring.

Untuk bergabung dengan Asosiasi Alumni, cukup mendaftar dialumni@usaboxing.org untuk sebuah $40.00 biaya keanggotaan per tahun. Anggota baru akan menerima kaos, gantungan kunci dan e-wallet.

With legendary trainerEddie Futch di sudut, Bowe became the first truly unified World heavyweight champion, winning the title belt for all four recognized major sanctioning bodies: WBC, WBA, IBF dan WBO.

Bowe retired with an amazing 43-1 (33 Biaya) pro record. He had a 5-1 (4 Biaya) mark in world title fights, 7-1 (5 Biaya) versus past world heavyweight champions such asEvander Holyfield (dua kali), Pinklon Thomas, Tony Tubbs, Bruce Seldon, Michael Dokes danHerbie 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.”

Saat Ini 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.

Celebrated manager Jackie Kallen predicts unbeaten Mykquan Williams will be her sixth world champion

Tinggalkan komentar

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Februari 12, 2020) – Women’s pioneerJackie Kallen, the first and arguably most successful female manager in the boxing history, strongly believes unbeaten 21-year-old“Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 Biaya) will develop into her sixth world champion.

Williams, fighting out of East Hartford, CT, is the reigning the World Boxing Council (WBC) United States super lightweight champion.

“Mykey has a lot of the qualities as some of the greats in boxing,” Kallen said. “He has some of the flash and speed of fighters like Ray Leonard, and the training habits and dedication of Thomas Hearns dan Mike Tyson. He also has a killer smile and good looks like Hector Camacho, Sr.

“Mykey can go all the way to a world title. He has the speed, attitude, and heart, along with exceptional boxing ability. He has been groomed perfectly by his trainer, Paul Cichon, who has kept Mykey true to his style, working hard to perfect his skill. Mykey trains hard, eats right, and takes the game seriously.”

“Jackie’s very experienced and knowledgeable in boxing,” Williams remarked. “She’s worked with some great, world-class fighters, so she knows the route to take for me to get there.”

Cichon added, “I sought out Jackie as our manager because of her love for the sports, as well as the knowledge of that she brings to the table. She’s very well respected, as she certainly deserves to be.”

Boxing has dramatically changed since Kallen covered her first fight for a Detroit daily newspaper in 1978. The card showcased Hearns andMickey Goodwin.  She became an instant fan and wrote about boxing on a regular basis. A legendary trainer/manager based in Detroit, Emanuel Steward, hired her as a publicist for his famed Kronk Gym. Some of her best friends to this day are fighters who she worked with back then. She and Hearns still get together.

After serving as Kronk’s publicist for a decade, Kallen decided to branch out and she started managing fighters. Her first client was heavyweightBobby Hitz, who today is a successful promoter and restaurateur in Chicago. She went on to manage a group of Who’s Who fighters, including world championsJames Toney, Bronco McKart, Tom “Boom Boom” Johnson, Pinklon Thomas danNonito Donaire.

Kallen, who overcame sexism in the boxing industry, is best known, jangan jangan, for her working relationship with Toney, largely because her life during that period was the inspiration for the popular 2004 film, Against the Ropes, starringMeg Ryan as Kallen.

“Boxing today is a totally different animal,” she explained. “That’s not to say it’s better or worse, just different. There used to be more gyms in every city, heavy amateur programs, lots of shows on television networks, and enough local club shows to keep a young fighter active. I had guys back then who fought 8 untuk 10 times a year, yang, tentu saja, is almost impossible in 2020.

“There wasn’t as much information available on opponents either. If you were lucky, you could buy a tape. If the fighter hadn’t been on television, meskipun, you were out of luck. There was no Internet, so there was nothing like BoxRec to check opponents’ records. You just had to believe the matchmaker. I had fighters expecting to fight a 14-4 guy who found out at the weigh in that he was actually 16-0.”

Tinju, likely the second-oldest profession, has continued to survive, albeit often on a roller-coaster ride.

“Today’s fighters are not as quick to fight each other as they were in the days of Hearns/Hagler/Leonard/Duran,” Kallen noted. “Back then, fighters wanted to really fight to be the best they could be. I see fighters today being more analytical and taking less chances.

“There are also more sanctioning organizations today. Back then it was most the WBA, WBC and IBF. Not to mention there was never one person who managed dozens and dozens of boxers at the same time. The game has definitely changed!"

Kallen, though is still heavily invested in the sport she loves. Confident Williams will be her next world champion, her dream is to be inducted into the Hall of Fame with Toney.

“In 1992,” Kallen concluded, “I was named ‘Manager of the Year’ and my love for the sport has never waned. As long as there is talent out there needing guidance, I will stay active.”

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 Juara dunia.

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, Riddick Bowe, Errol Spence, Anthony Dirrell, and Earnie Shavers. With it being Cinco de Mayo weekend, the lines for some of the Mexican legends wrapped around the convention center floor. Mikey Garcia, Marco Antonio Barerra, Erik Morales, 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.

The thrilling Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury heavyweight blockbuster, a sure-fire Fight of the Year candidate, will air on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Bulan Desember 8 di 9 p.m. ET / PT. The WBC Heavyweight World Championship bout between the 6-foot-7 unbeaten American champion Wilder and 6-foot-9 challenger Fury originally aired live on SHOWTIME PPV® pada hari Sabtu, Bulan Desember 1 dari Staples Center di Los Angeles.

Pada Hari Sabtu, both Wilder and Fury made strong cases for 2018 Fighter of the Year honors. Wilder faced the two toughest opponents of his career this year including a spectacular knockout win over Cuban slugger Luis Ortiz in a Fight of the Year candidate in March. Kemarahan, the lineal heavyweight champion, returned from a two-and-a-half-year layoff to score two wins in a span of 10 weeks before facing Wilder. Pada Hari Sabtu, he miraculously withstood a devastating, final-round knockdown that appeared to knock him out cold. Fury rose dramatically and continued to fight until the final bell to cap an effort that will go down as one of the greatest comeback stories in all of sports.

The SHOWTIME presentation of the Wilder vs. Kemarahan, a bout that has been hailed as “…the greatest night for boxing in the U.S. in recent memory,"Oleh Yahoo! Olah Raga, will be immediately followed by the premiere of SEMUA AKSES: WILDER vs. FURY EPILOGUE. The networks’ Emmy Award winning Bagian terakhir dr suatu karya sastra reveals the drama of fight night from a unique perspective and introduces viewers to the rarely seen aftermath of world championship prizefighting. SEMUA AKSES: WILDER vs. FURY EPILOGUE goes behind the scenes, into the locker rooms, corners and inner circles as Fury aims to complete a storybook comeback and Wilder looks to continue his reign as the “baddest man on the planet.”
