(L-R) – Mykquan Williams & Paul Cichon


HARTFORD (Ottobre 27, 2021) – Unbeaten super lightweight prospect "Meraviglioso" Mykquan Williams (16-0-1, 7 KO) has been on a long, strange trip in 2021, starting with his career-defining victory to date last January, per sfortuna, followed by a car accident resulting in a wrist injury, portando al lancio imprenditoriale della sua merce e dei suoi prodotti "Marvelous", e giovedì scorso è diventato papà per la prima volta.

“È stato molto frustrante,"Williams ha detto del suo infortunio. "Questo è ciò che faccio; Sono un combattente. A volte è stato difficile, e sono stato frustrato per tutto il tempo. Non vedo l'ora di combattere di nuovo, ma devo avere pazienza. Quando sarà il momento giusto e sarò tornato al 100%, Tornerò sul ring, fiduciosamente, all'inizio del prossimo anno. Ora, Devo costruire il mio polso, dal punto di vista della forza.”

Williams ha avuto un incidente d'auto lo scorso marzo 5th, in cui ha riportato una lussazione al polso destro, è saltato a posto quella sera nell'unità traumatologica. La prossima mattina, Williams ha subito un intervento chirurgico per inserire quattro birilli, che lo ha lasciato in una stecca per 11 settimane, fino a quando i perni non sono stati rimossi maggio 15th. Therapy and exercises were all he could do, no boxing at all, until he returned to training, and he threw his first punch only three weeks ago.

When a boxer suffers a serious injury to his hands like Williams, it often leaves questions about his or her boxing future. No different for “Marvelous” Mykquan, as he admits.

“Personally,” Williams explained, “I worry about coming back close to where I was, but I keep faith and keep working. People have been very supportive. Sometimes I think about not being able to box again, but I try not to think about that, but that is positioned in my mind.”

“We’re in no rush,” Williams’ head trainer Paul Cichon noted. “We’re doing exactly what his doctors are saying. Credo che tornerà più forte, e più concentrato che mai ora che ha un figlio da considerare. Penso che tornerà forte nel 2022.”

Williams ha approfittato del suo tempo di inattività per lanciare il suo "Marvelous Chili,” così come una linea di abbigliamento e attrezzi “Marvelous”, e sta anche valutando l'acquisto di una proprietà.

La sua vita è stata drammaticamente modificata lo scorso giovedì, quando la sua ragazza, Zuleyma, ha consegnato suo figlio, Attikus Williams, che ha pesato in, come direbbe un presentatore ad anello, un in forma e pronto 9 libbre.

Mentre si prepara per il suo ritorno, Williams e Cichon promuoveranno uno spettacolo amatoriale a novembre 20th in luogo da definire.
"Stiamo ospitando lo spettacolo per aiutare i bambini nella nostra palestra, Manchester ROCS (in CT),” ha rimarcato la Williams promossa da DiBella Entertainment. "Vogliamo fare un paio all'anno".

Il 23enne Williams ha già superato l'omicidio di suo padre quando Mykquan aveva solo uno, oltre ad avere la sua casa di famiglia rasa al suolo 10 anni dopo. Un polso lussato non ha alcuna possibilità di renderlo meno di "Marvelous".

Unbeaten Mykquan Williams staying in boxing shape as much as possible under pandemic conditions

Lascia un commento

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Marzo 23, 2020) – Like most professional boxers, unbeaten super lightweight prospect"Meraviglioso" Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 KO) is making the most out of a challenging situation, as he prepares for his unknown future in boxing.

The coronavirus has shutdown boxing worldwide. Events are suspended indefinitely, boxers restricted in terms of training, and the immediate future remains tenuous at best.

Unable to train at his gym, Manchester ROCS, which is closed due to a Connecticut state order, the 21-year-old Williams is handling this pandemic in a mature manner that belies his young age. No whining, no ‘poor me’ feelings.

”This is a difficult time for everybody, including those of us in boxing,” East Hartford (CT) resident Williams said. “There’s no boxing on TV, nobody can compete, and everybody is isolated. It’s just unfortunate, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. Health concerns are and should always be the top priority.”

Williams hasn’t been in action since last October 24th, when he fought to a questionable eighth-round majority draw withTre'Sean Wiggins, in which Williams retained his World Boxing Council (WBC) Stati Uniti (USNBC) super lightweight title. Most observers felt that Williams deserved a win by decision.

Since the beginning of 2020, Williams had been training for an expected fight in the first third of the year, and he’s still training to stay in shape, albeit it not the same way as if he had a confirmed fight date.

“I’m still doing some training,” Williams explained. “I need to stay in shape for when the call comes after boxing returns. I’m in decent shape and when I get my next fight date, I won’t have to go from zero to get ready. I want to maintain 50 a 60 percent shape and then finish off training on schedule for my next fight.”

“I know Mykey has still been running,” Williams’ head trainerPaul Cichon added. “We’re going to be back training soon. I believe everything happens for a reason. Mykey and me had a conference call with (manager) Jackie Kallen e (promotore) Lou DiBella, and we trust that, as soon as possible, Mykey will be back in action.”

Because Williams doesn’t turn 22 until this April 6, in addition to already being a pro boxer for nearly four years, his young boxing career figures to resume quicker and stronger than for many older boxers. Losing six months shouldn’t hinder a prospect like Williams as much as a veteran who may not have nearly as much comparable quality competitive time left in the ring.

“I’m not sure if age is that big an advantage,” Williams countered. “If some fighters were getting burned out because they were fighting a lot, taking time off, whether it’s due to the virus or not, a break may help them come back better and stronger than when they last fought.”

Williams was a five-time national amateur champion, la compilazione di un 45-13 registrare amatoriale, highlighted by three Ringside World titles, in addition to gold medal performances at the National PAL and National Silver Gloves championship.

“I don’t know when boxing will return,” Williams concluded, “but boxing will never die. People will always want to see guys punching each other in the face. Boxing is a sport rich in tradition and, proprio adesso, there is still a lot of talent coming up.”

And Mykquan Williams will be right at the head of that next wave when the boxing ban is finally lifted.

Il celebre manager Jackie Kallen prevede che l'imbattuta Mykquan Williams sarà il suo sesto campione del mondo

Lascia un commento

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Febbraio 12, 2020) - Pioniere delle donneJackie Kallen, il primo e probabilmente il manager femminile di maggior successo nella storia della boxe, crede fermamente che il 21enne sia imbattuto"Meraviglioso" Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 KO) diventerà il suo sesto campione del mondo.

Williams, combattendo da East Hartford, CT, è il regno del World Boxing Council (WBC) Campione super leggero degli Stati Uniti.

"Mykey ha molte qualità come alcuni dei grandi della boxe,"Ha detto Kallen. "Ha un po 'del flash e della velocità dei combattenti come Ray Leonard, e le abitudini di formazione e la dedizione di Thomas Hearns e Mike Tyson. Ha anche un sorriso assassino e un bell'aspetto Hector Camacho, Sr.

“Mykey può arrivare fino a un titolo mondiale. Ha la velocità, atteggiamento, e cuore, insieme a un'eccezionale capacità di boxe. È stato curato perfettamente dal suo allenatore, Paul Cichon, che ha mantenuto Mykey fedele al suo stile, lavorando duro per perfezionare la sua abilità. Mykey si allena duramente, mangia bene, e prende sul serio il gioco. "

"Jackie è molto esperta e ben informata nel pugilato,"Ha osservato Williams. "Ha lavorato con alcune persone fantastiche, combattenti di livello mondiale, quindi conosce la strada da prendere per me per arrivarci ".

Cichon ha aggiunto, “Ho cercato Jackie come nostro manager per il suo amore per lo sport, così come la consapevolezza di ciò che porta in tavola. È molto rispettata, come certamente merita di essere. "

La boxe è cambiata radicalmente da quando Kallen ha coperto la sua prima battaglia per un quotidiano di Detroit nel 1978. La scheda mostrava Hearns eMickey Goodwin.  È diventata subito una fan e scriveva regolarmente di boxe. Un leggendario allenatore / manager con sede a Detroit, Emanuel Steward, l'ha assunta come pubblicista per la sua famosa palestra Kronk. Alcuni dei suoi migliori amici fino ad oggi sono combattenti con cui lavorava allora. Lei e Hearns stanno ancora insieme.

Dopo aver servito come pubblicista di Kronk per un decennio, Kallen ha deciso di espandersi e ha iniziato a gestire i combattenti. Il suo primo cliente era dei pesi massimiBobby Hitz, che oggi è un promotore e ristoratore di successo a Chicago. Ha continuato a gestire un gruppo di combattenti Who's Who, compresi i campioni del mondoJames Toney, Bronco McKart, Tom "Boom Boom" Johnson, Thomas Pinklon eNonito Donaire.

Kallen, che ha vinto il sessismo nell'industria della boxe, è meglio conosciuto, forse, per il suo rapporto di lavoro con Toney, soprattutto perché la sua vita in quel periodo è stata l'ispirazione per il popolare 2004 film, Contro le corde, protagonistaMeg Ryan come Kallen.

“La boxe oggi è un animale completamente diverso," lei spiegò. "Questo non vuol dire che sia meglio o peggio, solo diverso. C'erano più palestre in ogni città, programmi amatoriali pesanti, molti spettacoli sulle reti televisive, e abbastanza spettacoli di club locali per mantenere attivo un giovane combattente. Allora avevo ragazzi che combattevano 8 a 10 volte all'anno, la quale, naturalmente, è quasi impossibile in 2020.

"Non c'erano nemmeno tante informazioni disponibili sugli avversari. Se sei stato fortunato, potresti comprare un nastro. Se il combattente non fosse stato in televisione, anche se, sei stato sfortunato. Non c'era Internet, quindi non c'era niente come BoxRec per controllare i record degli avversari. Dovevi solo credere al sensale. Avevo combattenti che si aspettavano di combattere a 14-4 ragazzo che ha scoperto alla pesatura che in realtà era 16-0. "

Boxe, probabilmente la seconda professione più antica, ha continuato a sopravvivere, anche se spesso su un giro sulle montagne russe.

"I combattenti di oggi non sono veloci a combattersi l'un l'altro come ai tempi di Hearns / Hagler / Leonard / Duran,"Ha osservato Kallen. “Allora, i combattenti volevano davvero combattere per essere il meglio che potevano essere. Vedo i combattenti oggi essere più analitici e correre meno rischi.

“Oggi ci sono anche più organizzazioni sanzionatorie. Allora era soprattutto la WBA, WBC e IBF. Per non parlare che non c'è mai stata una persona che gestisse dozzine e dozzine di pugili contemporaneamente. Il gioco è decisamente cambiato!"

Kallen, anche se è ancora fortemente investita nello sport che ama. La fiduciosa Williams sarà il suo prossimo campione del mondo, il suo sogno è entrare nella Hall of Fame con Toney.

"Nel 1992,” Ha concluso Kallen, "Sono stato nominato" Manager dell'anno "e il mio amore per lo sport non è mai tramontato. Finché c'è talento là fuori che ha bisogno di una guida, Rimarrò attivo. "

Unbeaten Mykquan Williams learned invaluable lesson for future

Lascia un commento
Picture by Emily Harney / Team Williams

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Novembre 4, 2019) – The true test for a genuine boxing prospect is how he or she responds to adversity, whether it included a loss, taglio, knockdown or, in the case of “Meraviglioso” Mykquan Williams, a disputed decision that tarnished his perfect pro record.

The 21-year-old Williams, ora 15-0-1 (7 KO), was recently on the short end of a highly disputed eight-round draw with Tre'Sean Wiggins (11-4-3, 6 KO), nel “Broadway Boxing” main event held at Generoso Pope Athletic Complex on the campus of St. Francis College in Brooklyn.

Nobody claimed the questionable decision was highway robbery, ancora, most non-partisan fans at the show, or those watching live on UFC FIGHT PASS®, felt Williams rightfully deserved to have his arms raised in victory. Despite having a blemish placed on his pro record, he didn’t suffer a loss, and did retain his World Boxing Council (WBC) United States super lightweight title.

Williams’ opponent was a southpaw with a five-inch height advantage. Once he felt Williams’ potere, especially in the liver, Wiggins went into survival mode, clutching and grabbing every time Williams got close.

Neither Williams nor his head trainer, Paul Cichon, was pleased when the judges’ scores were announced – 77-75 in favor of Williams, 76-76 due volte – for a majority draw. Never-the-less, both feel that this developmental lesson will pay dividends down the road.

“The plan was for me to work inside,” Williams said after the fight. “The first and second were feeling out rounds and then I’d adjust. I didn’t feel from the start that he could hurt me. I wanted to get inside and beat him with body punches. I did that but I think I played to the crowd a little too much. I’d change that if I could go back. And I would have let my hands go more, but I won this fight because I landed the harder, cleaner more effective shots throughout the fight. He just wanted to hold.

“I’m disappointed because I was defending my title, but I didn’t lose the fight and I still have my belt. I ll have a lot to learn and I’ll be back in the gym soon to fix errors I made so that I won’t have those issues my next fight.”

Cichon felt that Williams won five if not six rounds because he was the aggressor throughout the match. “Ero sorpreso,” ha ammesso. “Mykye was the champion and I thought that he (Wiggins) would have needed to win convincingly to win rounds. He didn’t. Mykye started using his double jab to get inside and then he killed his opponent’s body. The body shots brought Wiggins’ hands down. Mykye stalked and hurt him a few times.

“Mykye learned a valuable lesson like not letting the crowd get to him, and never letting up on the gas.Wiggins was smart. Every time Mykye got close to him, he grabbed him, especially after he felt Mykye’s powerful body shots. It may have been ugly, but he fought smart.”

Team Williams agrees that there’s no sense rushing Williams, Dopotutto, ha solo 21, but that 2020 should be an active, career-changing year for the East Hartford (CT) combattente.

“I’m ready to fight at the next level,” Williams concluded. “Time will tell. Styles make fights but I hurt him (Wiggins) several times.”

“We’ll jump back in the ring in early 2020,” Cichon ha aggiunto. “We’re looking to fight opponents with winning records, but not another six-foot southpaw.”

“I was very proud of Mykey,” Williams’ manager Jackie Kallen commentato. It was a learning experience that will make him an even greater fighter. He is still undefeated and one of the top young prospects in the 140-pound division. The next year will be a pivotal one for him.”

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Agosto 22, 2019) — Even dangerous thunderstorms and tornado warnings couldn’t deter fans from attending yesterday’s meet-and-greet and back to school backpack give-way with undefeated super lightweight prospect “Meraviglioso” Mykquan Williams, presented by DiBella Entertainment and Team Williams, at ROCS Gym in Manchester, Connecticut.

Williams signed autographs, posed for pictures and gave each child (K-12) a free backpack for school.

The 21-year-old Williams (15-0, 7 KO), who lives in East Hartford (CT), has an inspiring story in which his father was murdered when Mykquan was eight months old, and the family house burned to the ground when he was 10.

“Everything went very well,” a happy Williams said. “All the kids got a backpack and had a good time. My team made it possible for me to do it. Shout out to DiBella Entertainment, Wet Paint and Capital Bail Bonds. I did this event to give back to the community but, ma ancora più importante, help parents who may have a little bit of difficulty getting everything their kids need for school.”

Williams is the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) Campione super leggero degli Stati Uniti, che è valutato No. 5 by the United States Boxing Association (USBA), e No. 12 by the North American Boxing Federation (NABF).

He is promoted by Lou DiBella, managed by Jackie Kallen and trained by Paul Cichon.

Niall Kennedy wins controversial decision versus defending champion Alexis Santos to capture New England heavyweight title

Mashantucket, CT (Settembre 16, 2017) – Undefeated Irishman Niall “Boom Boom” Kennedy won a controversial 10-round split decision versus defending champion Alexis Santos to capture the New England heavyweight championship in last night’s (Sabato) main event of Broadway Boxing held in Fox Theater, at Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, CT.
Il Broadway Boxing series is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and presented by Nissan of Queens, Azad Watches, OPTYX, and Christos Steak House. Last night’s show, which was streamed by FightNight LIVE on Facebook, was promoted in association with Murphys Boxing.
Kennedy (9-0, 5 KO), fighting out of Galway, Irlanda, by way of Boston, battled Santos in a competitive, action-packed brawl to be awarded the N.E. title by scores of 96-93, 96-93, 93-96. The majority of fans in attendance, outside of Kennedy’s Irish supporters, and the ringside media felt that Santos, da Lawrence, MA, had the edge and deserved the decision.
Arbitro Al LoBianco deducted a point from Santos in the ninth round for a highly questionable low blow and failed to rule a knockdown when it appeared the ropes kept Kennedy upright in a tremendous last round surge from the Dominican American.
Nella co-optional attacco, l'ex campione del mondo Shelly “La via Shelito” Vincent (20-1, 1 KO), della Provvidenza, RI, defeated former world title challenger Angelo “Non-Stop” Gladney (9-13-1, 6 KO) in a junior lightweight match. The colorful Vincent was the aggressor throughout the fight, effectively cutting off the ring, outboxing and walking down Gladney for a lop-sided eight-round unanimous decision (80-72, 80-71 due volte).
Shelly Vincent (L) outclassed Angel Gladney
Rising Connecticut welterweight star “Meraviglioso” Mykquan Williams migliorato il suo record di 8-0 (4 KO), pitching a complete shutout in an impressive six-round unanimous decision (tutti 60-54) win over a much more experienced and considerably taller Evincii “Prize Fighter” Dixon (7-20-2, 2 KO). Williams is a 19-year-old from East Hartford who is a freshman at Manchester Community College.
Mykquan Williams (L) cruised to another victory
2012 Ucraino Olympian Ievgen “The Ukrainian Lion” Khytrov (15-1, 13 KO), combattimento da Brooklyn, bounced back from his only pro loss with a near shutout eight-round decision victory (80-72 due volte, 79-73) over his always tough super middleweight adversary, battle-tested veteran Falcone “Superuomo” Finley (27-22-1, 18 KO).
“It was different when I first started training after a loss,” Khytrov said after the fight. “I started to think more and work on my defense; to fight much smarter instead of just brawling, throwing punches, like I did before my loss. I came the US four years ago from a small country that’s not rich to become a world champion. I feel I’m back on the right track.
Ievgen Khytrov (R) bounced back with a solid win
Hot New England junior welterweight prospect Adriano “Tonka” Sosa (5-0, 4 KO) stepped up in class against Mexican Francisco “El Mono” Medel (11-10, 7 KO), and remained undefeated by displaying his overall game, offensively and defensively. Fighting out of Lawrence, MA, il 2014 N.E. amateur champion Sosa dropped Medal with a straight right in the first round, a sneaky body shot in the second and finished him off in the third with a crisp right to the temple as referee Al LoBianco immediately halted the action.
Pro-debuting welterweights Nicky DeQuattro (1-0, 1 KO) e Timothy Wheeler (0-1) engaged in a street fight from the opening bell until DeQuartro, fighting out of Johnson, RI, connected with an overhand right that dropped his New York City rival. Pochi istanti dopo, DeQuattro unleashed a four-punch combination that dropped Wheeler for a complete 10-count.
The night started with a barnburner as former Irish amateur standout Ray Moylette (6-0, 2 KO) kept his undefeated pro record intact but it certainly wasn’t easy. Moylette overcame a second-round knockdown, coming back strong in the second half of the fight to take a six-round split decision versus game junior welterweight Donte Bryant (1-3-1, 1 KO).

Mashantucket, CT (Giugno 4, 2017) – The amazing comeback of Opaco “Sharp Shooter” Remillard continued last night as the popular Connecticut lightweight stopped Fatiou Fassinou nel Broadway Boxing headliner held in Fox Theater, at Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, CT.
Il Broadway Boxing series is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and presented by Nissan of Queens, Azad Watches, OPTYX, and Christos Steak House.
Remillard, 30, was the No. 2-ranked featherweight in the world in 2011, when he lost to future world champion Mikey Garcia (LRTD11). Fighting out of Manchester, CT, tonight’s fight was Remillard’s first in his home state in six-and-a-half years, due to him serving a five-year prison sentence. He returned to the ring this past April, taking an eight-round decision from Agustine Mauras, a Worcester, MA.
Nella gara di apertura, Remillard (25-1, 14 KO) and the slick Benin-native, former WBC International Silver champion Fassinou (27-6-3, 14 KO) got to know each other as both fighters were cautious. Remillard opened up in the second round, using his left to the body, dropping Fassinou in his corner during the final seconds. Remillard pressed the action in the third, peppering Fassinou around the ring in his familiar punishing style, putting Fassinou in his “Sharp Shooter” sights for target practice in the fourth. Fassinou failed to answer the bell for the fifth round.
“Against a southpaw, the left hook to the liver is there, a punch I’m known for,” Remillard commented after the fight. “He was a little sloppier than I expected. Mi sentivo bene; Sono 24/7 in the gym. Maybe I’ll have one more fight this year to get in some rounds, and then get ready for a big 2018. I want a rematch with Garcia, a 135 o 140 libbre, 100-cento. He owes me a rematch. The guy he beat wasn’t me.”
Ruslan Shamalov (L) & George Arias turned in the Fight of the Night
Nella co-feature, two New York City-based heavyweights, 6’5″ Russo Ruslan Shamalov (4-1, 3 KO) and Dominican “Gentleman” Giorgio Arias (7-0, 3 KO), fighting out of Brooklyn and the Bronx, rispettivamente, put their undefeated records on the line. Shamalov’s power punches rocked the much shorter 5’11” Arias in the first round, but Arias stayed off the ropes and boxed much better in the second. The two fighters exchanged bombs throughout a terrific third round and, somehow, the fourth was even better with back-and-forth, non-stop action. The pace subsided slightly in the fifth round, setting the stage for a bombs-away sixth and final frame that didn’t disappoint.
Shamalov and Arias fought a furious pace, especially for heavyweights, in a legitimate six-round “Fight of the Year” candidato. Arias, the leader of Team Wash Em’ Up in the Bronx, won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54, 59-55, e 58-56.
“This win was humungous for me,” said an overjoyed Arias, after his first six-round fight. “I had a game plan, but once he hurt me in the first round, my heart took over and I just fought. I like to fight for the people, so I held on in the first instead of taking a knee.”
Mykquan Williams (R) celebrated his high school graduation a little early
Crowd favorite “Meraviglioso” Mykquan Williams (7-0, 4 KO) gave himself an early high school graduation present as the East Hartford fighter defeated Nicaraguan welterweight Ariel “La Guerra” Vasquez (13-18-2, 9 KO) in the former’s first six-round bout. The 19-year-old Williams, a five-time national amateur champion, is a budding star with tremendous upside. Poised beyond his years, Williams controlled the pace against his battle-tested southpaw opponent, che è 11 years Williams’ senior, displaying his vast arsenal of punches, especially his left-right combination that landed consistently. Williams’ fast hands exploded for the first time at the end of the second round, then he picked up his assault in the third, as he cruised to a six-round shutout decision, with three tallies of 60-54.
Williams graduates on Giugno 20 from Prince Tech. “That was a good graduation present,” Williams ha detto. “My hand speed played a big factor. He was a tough guy, especially for my first six-rounder.”
Jennifer Salinas (R) had too much for Marquita Lee
featherweight champion Jennifer “The Bolivian Queen” Salinas (20-4, 5 KO) sconfitto Marquita Lee (3-5) by way of a hard-fought six-round unanimous decision. Salinas, combattimento da Providence, was the aggressor throughout, but Lee never took a backward step. Scorecard 59-55 due volte, e 58-56, all for Salinas.
Fighting a much more experienced and taller opponent from Africa, promising Lynn, MA prospect Khiry “TNT” Todd (5-0, 5 KO) won his fifth pro fight, tutti per KO. La 2016 New England Golden Gloves campione, Todd gained invaluable experience against cagey super welterweight Nicolas Sarouna (12-9-1, 9 KO), of Togo, who took a knee after getting hit by a sneaky uppercut in the third round. Sarouna failed to beat the 10-count as Todd improved his perfect record, with a TKO stoppage at the 1:32 contrassegno.
Radzhab Butaev left Abraham Alvarez on the mat in serious pain
Unbeaten Russian middleweight prospect Radzhab “The Python” Butaev (6-0, 4 KO) was too much for Mexican Abraham “The Swift” Alvarez (20-11-1, 11 KO). Butaev dropped Alvarez early with a vicious left hook, from which Alvarez never fully recovered. A brutal right to the liver put the Mexican on mat once again, in obvious pain, as referee Joey Lupino immediately waved off the fight at 1:05 del primo round.
Cuban cruiserweight Luis “El Leon” Garcia (15-0, 12 KO) kept his perfect pro record intact with a first-round knockout of his outclassed Mexican opponent Felipe Romero (19-14-1, 13 KO), combattimento da San Diego. Now living in Peekskill, NY, Garcia dropped Romero with an overhand right in the opening seconds and he never let up, consistently hurting Romero with a series of devastating rights. Garcia closed the show with a powerhouse uppercut, leading referee Johnny Callas to halt the action at the 1:48 contrassegno.
Three-time Puerto Rican National Boxing team member Jose Roman (4-0, 3 KO) went the distance for the first time against a game William Hill (2-3), di Detroit. The skilled Puerto Rican super welterweight applied pressure from the opening bell, using a fierce body attack on Hill, who was trapped on the ropes for most of the fight. The judges tallied 40-36 due volte, e 39-37, all for Roman via unanimous decision.
##
DiBella Entertainment’s unbeaten featherweight contender Luis Rosa also fought il Sabato, headlining a card at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in his hometown of New Haven, CT, facing Carlos Osorio, di Managua, Nicaragua. Rosa pressured his adversary throughout the contest, wearing him down with a steady attack to the body. Osorio was game and had a stiff jab, though the hometown favorite’s combinations on the inside helped to diminish the Nicaraguan’s punch output. Believing that Osorio had taken a great deal of punishment, the referee halted the contest at the 1:25 Marchio del sesto round, awarding Rosa the TKO victory. Con la vittoria, Rosa improved to 23-0 (11 KO), while Osorio’s record dropped to 13-7 (5 KO).
