Undefeated title belt collector santiagosomerdominguez plans to add welterweight strap to growing collection

LAS VEGAS (Bulan September 21, 2020) – Undefeated, world-rated Mexican welterweightSantiago “Somer” Dominguez (22-0, 17 Biaya) will be back in action this Saturday (Tujuh. 26) di Meksiko, when he pursues yet another title belt, the vacant North American Boxing Federation (NABF), to add to his growing collection.

The 28-year-old Dominguezfighting out of Obregon, Sonora, Meksiko, is the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) FECARBOX and USNBC (AS) 147-pound champion. Saturday night he headlines a De La O Promotions card in Cocorit, Sonora, Mexico. Ranked No. 14 di WBC dan ada. 1 in the NABF, the fierce knockout artist faces fellow countrymanJose Rosario Cazarez (19-5-1, 10 Biaya) in the 10-round main event for the vacant NABF crown.Blair Cobbs reportedly relinquished his NABF championship rather than fight his mandatory defense versus rising star Dominguez.

“I was surprised and humbled when I found out I was fighting for the vacated NABF belt,” Dominguez commented.  “I will not disappoint in this fight; my coaches have me ready.”

“We believe Santiago Dominguez will be a world champion,” kata promotornya, RJJ Boxing CEO and co-founderKeith Veltre.  “He’s the highest ranked Mexican welterweight in the world and more than ready to move up to the next level. This will be his next step towards becoming the future of the welterweight division. We appreciate the chance for Santiago to fight for the NABF championship”

Cazarez, who is unbeaten in his last seven fights (6-0-1), has been stopped only once, four years ago. Santiago will certainly test his chin.

Dominguez’ head trainerAlfredo “Pollo “ Ozuna, adalahSaul "Canelo" Alvarez’ original coach. “ Dominquez is focused and sharp this camp,” Ozuna noted. “Santiago will display better footwork and an offense featuring speed, volume and crushing power.  His opponent will meet the canvas and Santiago will be wearing the NABF title belt home.”

“Our team is very appreciative for the opportunity awarded us from Mr.Duane Ford and the NABF,” Santiago’s managerTerry Hollan ditambahkan. “It is certainly an honor!"

Ortiz, Tidak ada dinilai. 16 oleh American Boxing Federation Utara (NABF), memperoleh paparan berharga headlining acara CES, yang disiarkan secara langsung dan eksklusif pada UFC FIGHT PASS®, layanan berlangganan terkemuka di dunia digital untuk olahraga tempur.

“Tidak ada alasan karat setiap,” Ortiz menjelaskan. “Saya telah bekerja keras di gym selama beberapa bulan, di mana saya selalu melakukan yang terbaik. Mungkin lampu terang (berjuang di rumah untuk pertama kalinya) mempengaruhi saya sedikit a? Itu sedikit berbeda akan melalui para fans (pada nya cincin berjalan) untuk sampai ke ring (di atas panggung). Saya membayangkan hal-hal yang jauh lebih besar di masa depan saya, jadi saya tidak bisa membiarkan hal-hal kecil seperti itu membuat saya permainan saya. Tapi saya menetap di cepat dan merasa nyaman.

“Aku memukulnya dengan pukulan yang baik untuk rahang. Saya pikir dia akan bangun, karena ia memiliki reaksi akhir ketika ia turun, tapi aku tahu itu lebih ketika saya memukulnya dengan tiga hak overhand. Aku benar-benar menyakitinya dengan pukulan terakhir karena ia akan turun. Saya tidak mengatakan secara terbuka, tapi saya mengatakan kepada beberapa orang bahwa saya akan mengetuk dia keluar di babak kedua, dan saya melakukan apa yang saya katakan saya akan melakukannya. Saya tahu awal bahwa itu hanya akan menjadi masalah waktu.”

Ortiz ditampilkan petir cepat tangan dan kakinya, juga beralih mudah dari ortodoks ke kidal, rencana Jamaine untuk kembali bekerja minggu depan sebagai tukang kayu serikat dan dia sudah mulai berlari sebelum dia kembali di gym.

Ujian Olimpiade, Ortiz adalah bintang potensial meningkat.

Karena dia hanya 23 tidak ada alasan yang sah untuk mendorong Ortiz pada tahap ini karir muda pro ketika proses perkembangan nya di gigi. up pertama adalah awalnya dijadwalkan bertarung 10-bulat, mungkin untuk judul daerah, mungkin melawan dicapai, lawan berpengalaman yang akan memberikan Jamaine putaran berharga (ia hanya memiliki 52 putaran bawah ikat pinggang).

Di 2021, mimpi adalah untuk Ortiz untuk judul acara utama di rumah di Worcester dengan-peringkat dunia implikasi, di rumah baru dari Boston Red Sox’ organisasi AAA di Polar Taman, yang sedang dibangun sekarang untuk biaya konstruksi perkiraan $ 100-juta.

Jika semua berjalan sesuai rencana, Ortiz akan menantang untuk gelar juara dunia di 2022, paling lambat.
Proses Ortiz telah dimulai dengan tujuan akhirnya mengembangkan dirinya menjadi bangsawan dunia. Kesabaran, meskipun, adalah kunci untuk membangun juara!

Dengan kemenangan tersebut, Barrios retains her NABF Lightweight title.

 

 

 

In the early rounds, both fighters were very active, throwing a lot of punches, but Barrios was the one landing the cleaner shots. Although Juarez was doing her best to box from the outside using a one-two combo, her power wasn’t enough to keep Barrios off her as she kept coming forward, landing her signature overhand right. Barrios hurt Juarez in round five, knocking her mouthpiece out with right hook, forcing the referee to stop the action momentarily. Juarez recovered but never was able to stop Barrios from coming forward as she continued to land thumping power shots. A clash of head butts cut Barrios on the forehead during the middle rounds, but she was never bothered by them. In the later rounds, Barrios continued to apply pressure, forcing Juarez to fight on the inside. Juarez showed a lot of heart making it to the final bell but came up short as Barrios remains undefeated. Scorecard baca 100-89 dan 99-91 twice all in favor of Barrios.

 

 

 

I felt I controlled the fight from the opening bell,” said Selina Barrios. “Juarez was a very tough opponent and I give her a lot of credit for going the distance. I hit her with a lot of power shots and she hung in there. I didn’t feel any power in her punches, so I kept coming forward. I got the victory and I’m ready to fight any of the champions at Lightweight. Katie Taylor, Mikaela Mayer dan Amanda Serrano, I’m coming for you guys. You can run, but you can’t hide.

SAN ANTONIO, TX (Bulan September 13, 2018) – Undefeated NABF Lightweight champion, Selina “Aztec Queen” Lingkungan (4-0, 2 Biaya) is getting ready for her Corpus Christi Showdown on September 22, 2018, against Patricia Juarez (4-0), sister of WBC Bantamweight champion, Mariana “Barbie” Juarez (50-9-4, 13 Biaya).

On the line will be Selina’s NABF Lightweight title. The 10-round bout will take place at Whataburger Field, home to the Corpus Christi Hooks, the double-A affiliate of the Houston Astros.

Training camp has begun and this is what Barrios has had to say:

On her recent training camp in San Antonio

Training camp has been very challenging but its going to be worth every minute. I feel very motivated for this camp. I truly believe I am the best in my division and for that to continue to be true, I must train harder than others, and that’s what I’m doing. I understand that Patricia Juarez is undefeated and a very tough opponent. That’s why I’m training extremely hard, because I respect her skill level. Ini akan menjadi pertarungan besar untuk para penggemar.

On fighting Patricia Juarez

Patricia Juarez is a deserving and tough challenger. I am training as though I am going to be in a tough and grueling fight that will go the distance, but my mindset like my last fight is to also go for a knockout. I am training very hard for this fight and I want the fans to know that I am not taking my opponent lightly.

On fighting in Corpus Christi on the Baseball field for the Houston Astros organization

It is a dream come true when you work so hard at something, in my case boxing, and a major organization lets you fight in their facility. The Houston Astros organization is a staple of the city of Corpus Christi, and the entire state of Texas for all that matter. I love fighting in Texas, its where I’m from, and it is a major honor to entertain so many people, especially those who will be in attendance at Whataburger field on September 22nd. Everyone watching my fight, is going to see something special.

On defending her NABF Lightweight title..

The NABF lightweight title means the world to me at this point in my career, and defending it is very important. I live for people to call me ‘champand to not have a belt, would mean I didn’t work hard enough to keep it. I can’t let that happen, so I am working tremendously hard to keep this belt, because not just do I want to defend it, but I also want to fight for a world title as well, which means I cannot lose the NABF strap.

On the landscape of the lightweight division

This is the best division in all of women’s boxing in my opinion. We have Mikaela Mayer and Katie Taylor, who I think are two very talented fighters. I also think Amanda Serrano should be considered in this division, even though she went up multiple weight classes and made history by becoming a six-division world champ. Quite simply said, I want to fight all of them and I want to prove I am the best fighter in this division. I am training and working hard so that I can be the first female fighter to make a million dollars in the ring. I’m going to be a million-dollar baby, and my fighting style will be the reason.

With Selina being the most avoided female fighter in boxing, I had to do my part on getting her ranked by the NABF,” said advisor Kerry Daigle. “It’s not going to be an easy road to the top. There’s a lot of good fighters out there with a lot of experience that she’s going to have to fight. That will be the case when Selina steps in the ring with Lisa Porter, who has a plethora of amateur experience. Dia, also is one of the most avoided fighters in the lightweight division.

SK: “I got some experience from my fight against Bernard Hopkins. He showed that never give up. That you should to fight all 12 rounds and hope for your win.”

 

Pertanyaan: Do you expect Andre Ward will hold you and use his head?

SK: “Yes I think he will use it and I am ready for this too. It will be wrestling and not fight [tertawa]."

 

SK: “I think he (Bangsal) will look much better in my fight November 19 because he long time didn’t fight, couple years he had a rest and Sullivan Barrera was first fight when he returned. And with Alexander Brand he was better than against Sullivan Barrera. I accept that he’s going to look much better November 19. In best shape.”

 

SK: “John (David Jackson) just gives me freedom to do what I want, what I would like to do. Anda tahu, just like adjust some things and advice between rounds about technique. Working a lot with mitts. I like work with him and feel comfortable.”

 

SK: “I don’t think that Andre Ward (akan) let me use a lot of body shots because he has great legs and a lot of movements. You know he’s very smart. And I think first part of this fight is going to be a lot mentally, but I should prove that I’m Krusher and that I’m going to do my job. He’s going to do his job, me to do my job.”

 

SK: “I think my last fight against Chilemba, it was like a similar fight you know, because Chilemba’s a little bit style as Andre Ward.

My interview is a workout [tertawa].

Curtis “The Cerebral Assassin” Stevens

Pertanyaan: Do you want David Lemieux and the rematches?

Stevens: “We all know I want David Lemieux. Pertanyaannya adalah, is he willing to fight me? Who else? Tureano Johnson, he was winning the fight, but the fight wasn’t over until the final bell rung, and he got knocked out. Some people say it was a premature stoppage, but me, the ref say, you know… I want to be world champion. That was one of my goals, to become a world champion and become a unified world champion.”

Q: How do you feel about being part of this big card?

CS: "Rasanya besar. Second big card of the year. The first one was Canelo–Khan and now Kovalev–Ward. Opened up the first one and now I’ll open up the second one. It’s a great feeling, bagus deh. I’m very honored. It’s a pleasure.”

 

Q: What are your thoughts on De La Rosa?

CS: “A fight is a fight. You can call it a stay busy fight, you can call it a real, well it’s a real fight in general, but you can call it what you want to call it. A fight is a fight at the end of the day.”

 

CS: “I’m a different type of breed. I come from Brownsville. I’m just a different type of guy. What people fail to realize is that some people wasn’t raised how I was raised. Anda tahu? I’m from an era where you sign up in the US Championships, the National Golden Gloves, you couldn’t pick who you wanted to fight. This isn’t a show fight; this is a tournament. First day you got your Andre Ward, you got Gennady Golovkin, you got your David Lemieux’s. I mean the first day! No finals, no nothing. I fought Ward three times, he gave me my first loss ever. Then the second time I fought him, it was a US Championship semi-finals, then the third one was the US Championship semi-finals again. You don’t know where you’re going to meet these guys at.”

 

CS: “I will always be the chin checkers, that’s what I do, I check in and I check out, I will always be that. I got rid of Showtime. Showtime’s a thing of the past, that’s when I was with my old team. I’m with JDJ now, I’m the Cerebral Assassin, I got to run this tight ship wisely, instead of recklessly. Wisely, get it?"

 

CS: “John (David Jackson) makes me more relaxed, kamu tahu? Let my hands go a little more. Tells me l’m powerful in both hands, so don’t just look to go in there and knock them out.”

Oleksandr “The Nail” Gvozdyk

NABF Light Heavyweight Champion

Gvozdyk: When I first started boxing it was for getting stronger. Then I liked it and it became a hobby. Now boxing is everything. Ini hidup saya. It is my job. It is my hobby.

Pertanyaan: A lot of people don’t know you yet. What would you like them to know about yourself?

OG: I would like to become popular in the ring. I do my best and they supposed to watch it. I hope they’re going to like me.

OG: My nickname is “The Nail” and that is just a translation of my last name. I have had this nickname since I was ten years old so I am used to that. When I came here everyone started to call me that.

Q: Talk to us about your opponent.

OG: Chilemba is a very strong fighter. Very smart. He is skilled. He has good defense. It is not going to be easy. I am happy with my preparation so far and I am expecting a good fight.

Q: Talk about the transition you made from amateur to pro.

OG: Whether it is amateur or pro boxing, it is still boxing. You just have to get used to some different timing. You have to learn to distribute your power for ten or more rounds. You have to get more power in the pros but basically it is the same.

Q: Talk about your preparation for the fight and the dedication it takes in the gym every day to prepare to one day get to the level of Sergey Kovalev and Andre Ward.

OG: I think that if you want to be champion you have to train hard. You are supposed to do your best and train as hard as possible. If you want to be the best, you have to fight the best and you have to train with the best. That is what I try to do. Now Sergey and Ward have both proved that they are the best fighters and now they get to find out who is Pound For Pound #1. I watch them and I try to do the same steps to be like them.

Q: Who do you think wins Kovalev-Ward?

OG: I think Kovalev wins. I know it is like 50-50 fight and it is a very interesting fight for me. It is a fight between intelligence and power.

Ruben’s family and friends are not only a big part of his life, but also part of his success.
My parents started me in boxing, and they have been extremely supportive in this. I also have 4 saudara perempuan (Ruben is the 2nd oldest of the 5 anak anak), and they are very supportive as well. “
