Direct descendant of Rocky Marciano Brandon Cappiello Drops another New England Patriots music video

BROCKTON, Hmota. (Leden 10, 2022) — A direct descendant of the great Rocky Marciano, Brandon “Brandon Capp” Cappiello, dropped another music video today about the New England Patriots – Patriot (New Era Anthem) – as the club prepares for this Saturday night’s NFL playoff wild card game versus the Buffalo Bills.
Cappiello’s paternal great grandmother and Marciano’s wife were sisters. His grandfather, Michael “Duna” Cappiello, traveled everywhere with Rocky during his undefeated Hall of Fame professional boxing career.

Brandon’s father and uncle, příslušně, promoter/matchmaker Rich Cappiello and trainer/former pro boxer Mike Cappiello, own and operate Cappiello Boxing Gym in downtown Brockton (MA), known as the City of Champions. Hall of Famer Marvelous Marvin Hagler also fought out of Brockton.

Cappiello and fellow Brockton native Randall “Randy Lo” Coulanges wrote and performed “Patriot,” and Brandon mixed and produced it. This is the third and likely the final anthem for the Brockton duo. Před šesti lety, their original music video, “Champion,” went viral and their follow-up was a successful Boston Red Sox anthem, entitled “Never Back Down.”

“Patriot” was directed by Scott Beer (Scott Beer Media), a highly accomplished film maker/videographer from Rhode Island.
An associate known as BA originally asked “Brandon Capp,” a singer, and rapper “Randy Lo” if they would do a Patriots music video. He was well known on the Boston music scene having been involved with New Kids On The Block a New Edition.

“I was skeptical at first because it’s so difficult to please everyone,” Brandon said. “We did it in less than a week and I produced it in my bedroom. All of a sudden, things were crazy, it went viral overnight. We’ve had more than 3 million collective views across all media platforms. It took on a life of its own. It was playing everywhere, and we were guests on a lot of television and radio shows. It still gets 200,000 views a year.

“Our first anthem was an anomaly. We did it all without any real help in such a short time. But we are real artists who have both been doing music for years. It resonated in every demographic, even playing on radio, something that never happens for a sports anthem that is team based. It was more about recognition for both of us because people loved it and shared on social media. It was an incredible ride that really hasn’t ended.

The third of their anthem trilogy promises to be equally addictive as its original, if not more popular, largely because of several key reasons
“The sky is the limit for this song,” Cappiello concluded. “The first one was special, but this time we wanted to take the special formula of what worked and give a fresh and new take on a great concept.

” Hundreds of people had asked us to do another one for years. And nobody collaborates better than us. We’re great friends who’ve known each other since the seventh grade. We want what’s best for both of us.”

The ideal situation for “Brandon Capp” and “Randy Lo” would be performing live before or during halftime at the 2022 New England Patriots’ season opener, nebo, better yet, performing at a Pats’ pep rally if they make another playoff run this season.

Brandon Cappiello knows how to deliver a knockout….it’s in his blood

Golden Boy vstoupí “Beast Mode nebo ne Mode”
Jared Shaw podařilo v těžké váze nedávno napuštěné reklamní smlouvu s Golden Boy Promotions

Los Angeles, JAKO. (Listopad 8, 2018) – V době, kdy boxu v těžké váze je opět horké divize. Otázkou je stále požádán, kdo bude, že v příštím Mike Tyson jako vyřazovací umělce? Nebo má sporty jako fotbal a basketbal sejmuty nejlepší velcí muži od boxu?

 

 

 

vstoupit James “Beast” Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson má všechny atributy výše uvedených vlastností. Úžasný sportovec, který byl v NFL soustředění s pozadím v boji, který zobrazuje divoký elektráren.

 

 

 

Wilson, který právě podepsal s Golden Boy Promotions, má rekord 8-0 se sedmi knockouts, ale jeho příběh začíná v průběhu 20 před lety v ulicích Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Wilson se prochází těžkým obdobím a byl bez domova ve věku mezi 13 a 15, kde spal v motelech, parkové lavičky, a sprchování v těchto parcích. Wilson měl seškrábat se zákonem, a to změnilo jeho život….pro lepší.

 

 

 

“Jsem uzamčené a poté se umístí do skupiny. Že vlastně dostal, abych měla strukturu a umístí mě na správné cestě. Udělal jsem dobré výsledky ve škole a začal hrát sportu a teď jsem měl pozitivní možnosti v mém životě,” řekl Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson se stal Los Angeles Times High School Fotbalista roku, stejně jako trojnásobný all-město sledovat & atlet pole, což mu vyneslo stipendium na Concord univerzity v Západní Virginii.

 

 

 

Wilson, který absolvoval s mírou v sociologii, pak pokračoval hrát profesionální fotbal ve všech místech, Polsko.

 

 

 

Po tom získal soustředění pozvat s Chicago Bears. Nicméně se rozhodl následovat další sportovní vášeň.

 

 

 

“Začal jsem dělat Kenpo-Karate, Muay-Thai a kickbox.” Wilson měl profesionální Kickboxing rekord 16-2-1 kde závodil ve špičkových organizací, jako je K-1 a Glory.

 

 

Potom, Wilson se pokusil svou ruku na MMA a nasbíral impozantní 5-2 záznam a bojoval za vysoce ceněné mistrovství Bellator Boj.

 

 

 

Stále není spokojen, Wilson začal boxovat.

 

 

 

Wilson opět cestoval po celém světě a začal děrování pro odměňování kariéru na Novém Zélandu.

 

 

 

“Věděl jsem, že promotor na Novém Zélandu, a byl jsem schopen bojovat tam každý týden. Že zrychlil svůj proces a rozvoj. Vrátil jsem se do Los Angeles, a byl schopný dostat další čtyři vítězství.”

 

 

 

Na 7-0, Wilson se poté setkal dlouholetý boxu průmysl hráč, Jared Shaw.

 

 

 

Shaw viděl videa Wilsonem na jeho účet Instagram, a natáhl do neporažený heavyweight.

 

 

 

“Jared mě kontaktoval, a setkal se v tělocvičně, a měl stejnou vizi pro mě, že jsem měl, a zbytek je historie.”

 

 

 

“Viděl jsem Jamese jako diamant,” Said Shaw. “Má kombinace a rychlost a sílu, které nejsou vidět v těžké váze. Má že “to” faktorem, který jsem viděl, s Kimbo Slice. Měl jsem to štěstí dost podepsali Kimbo pryč z bojů, které byly vidět na Youtube. Když Kimbo vstoupil do místnosti, jste se cítil přítomnost a energii. Vidím mnoho stejných kvalit, pokud jde o James v tom, že typ atrakce. Každý, kdo mylně James pro fotbalisty nebo smíšených bojových umělců bude jistě mít plné ruce práce v ringu. Jedná se o blue-chip atlet, ” Said Shaw, který vyrostl ve sportu jako jeho otec Gary Shaw byl jedním z předkladatelů nejlepších na světě, v posledních třech desetiletích.

 

 

 

 

 

Shawa první úkolem bylo dostat se James se správným trenérem. Vstoupit Justin Fortune.

 

 

 

“Znal jsem Justina po dlouhou dobu. Oba jako silový a kondiční trenér a jako trenér. Většina z nich by ho znát na straně Manny Pacquiao, ale možná většina lidí neví, že Justin byl heavyweight vyhlídka, kteří bojovali Lennox Lewis. Co se mi líbí nejvíce o této párování je Justin byl kratší heavyweight jakož, ale silný puncher. Jeho zkušenost je to, co se děje na pomoc James zrychlit svůj růst ve sportu. Jako tým, Máme za cíl přinést mistrovství světa zpátky do Los Angeles, aby včas,” pokračování Shaw.

 

 

 

Shawa Dalším krokem bylo najít tu správnou promotor pro Wilson podepsat s, a duo našel jednou z největších společností na světě, který se zajímal.

 

 

 

“Hodně promotérů se na mě dívají. Setkal jsem se s Golden Boy, a viděli mou talent a vizi, a mám pocit, že se to stalo pro mě, a vzít mě do těžké váze mistrovství světa,” řekl Wilson.

 

 

 

Shaw pochvaloval manželství mezi bojovníkem a promotor.

 

 

“Je to ideální situace. Golden Boy Promotions je jedním z lídrů v našem sportu, pokud jde o oblasti propagace firmy. V této situaci, fungovalo to, že máte velkou perspektivu z Los Angeles bojuje od renomovaných světových společností se sídlem v Los Angeles. Právě teď Golden Boy je v horní části tohoto sportu. Podporují pravděpodobně nejvyšší bojovník na světě, v Canelo Alvarez, a byli schopni ho zajistit bezprecedentní dohodu s DAZN. Těšíme se na příležitosti, které přijdou na Jamese, a předvést Jamese’ mimořádný soubor dovedností. Mám 100% důvěra v Oscar (De La Hoya), Eric (Gomez) a Robert (Diaz) vést Jamese k těžké váze mistrovství světa, a pomůže maximalizovat svůj zisk potenciál. Los Angeles nikdy neměla přeborníka v těžké váze, tak to dává smysl, že první z nich bude s kompletním týmem Los Angeles založená s Jamesem, Justin, Zlatý chlapec a já. ”

 

 

 

“Chtěl bych, aby lidé věděli o Jamesovi, že uvnitř lan, že je zvíře a Human Highlight film, takže neblikají. Ale mimo ring, to je neuvěřitelné otec jeho tří chlapců. Obrovské motivační řečník, a pozitivním vzorem pro vnitřní-měst a zbytek světa. On je velký na komunitu a pomáhá mládež. Zejména těch, které jsou šikany.”

 

 

 

Wilson mluví hodně mladíků asi proti šikaně. “Já hodně mluvit a seminářů pro boj proti šikaně. Jdu do mnoha škol a dětských domovů a říct jim svůj příběh. Myslím, že může být někdo, pro děti vzhlížet a dejte jim vědět, že mají budoucnost navzdory bez ohledu na okolnost, že jsou v. Řeknu dětem, že vaše ruce jsou zbraně, ústa je zbraň, a jediné místo pro boj je uvnitř kruhu.”

 

 

 

Když byl dotázán, kdo chce bojovat a jaké jsou jeho cíle jsou v tomto sportu, Wilson, “Nejsem snaží bojovat proti každému jednotlivci zvlášť, Dívám se na boj se všemi z nich. A co je nejdůležitější, Jsem zde, aby fanouškům něco se dívat. to je 365 dny “Bestie” sezóna. Je Beast Mode nebo ne Mode.”

The 31 year-old Edwards actually turned professional May 20, 2011 when the NFL players were entrenched in a lockout.
“Ray has shown that he has the physical tools to become a top heavyweight,” said GH3 Promotions CEO Vito Mielnicki.
“He has a ton of upside and with heavyweights, there is a chance to become a star very quickly here in the States. I think that because he has competed at a high level in the NFL, he has a chance to do that in boxing. We are looking to get him three fights before the end of the year. He is 6’6 255 lbs. and we will move him like like most heavyweights, steady but right and no rush. He will be at the top when it’s time.

“I just want to stay busy and keep winning. Let me be great. In do time, people will see the finished product.”
In what playing at the highest level of professional sports, he can take into boxing, Edwards notes, “I played defensive line and I was focused on the ball. So I have learned to tune things out. It’s that tunnel vision that playing in front of 100,000 lidé, you learn that. Not to listen to the crowd and stay focused.”
When asked if what his former NFL fraternity thinks of his move to boxing, Edwards stated, “I still get support from my friends in the league. They are always asking when and where I am fighting, so I feel when the fights get higher profile, It will become a really big thing.”

Said Edwards trainer Kennie Johnson, “He is developing into a good
bojovník. We started out with a guy who had a great physical presence, but he has been a fast learner and now it is time for people to see that. He is coming along well and when the competition steps up, we will see that he is a quality fighter. He is the hardest worker that I ever seen in the forty years that I have been around the sport.”
Edwards is managed by Chances Aurelius, kdo říkal, “Vito Mielnicki is a good guy and I am happy to be on board with GH3 Promotions. I think we will do big things together.”

As one supporter said of Mirra, “his dedication does not end when practice ends…he is the coach that wrestlers confide in when they are struggling.”

Girls High School Coach of the Year: Theodore Cook, Harry S. Truman High School, Bronx
A veteran of wrestling with over twenty years of experience, Cook has inspired a number of students with his coaching abilities. He’s widely respected for pushing his girls on the team that he started out of their comfort zones and daring them to try their hardest. “He is not afraid to go above and beyond to make sure his team reaches their full potential,” said one student. Another writes: “I can honestly said Coach Cook is probably the most trustworthy and reliable person I know.” Several of his supporters praise him as a father figure who helps lift everyone’s spirits and inspires the girls with life lessons.

Boys High School Coach of the Year: Peter Cardone, William Cullen Bryant High School, Queens
Coach Cardone has made the most of having a dedicated wrestling room at WC Bryant High School and turned a program on the brink into city champions. Cardone’s leadership, with the help of coaches Joe Goetz and Joseph Weinstein, grew his team from fifteen wrestlers to fifty-five. Cardone has overseen numerous accomplishments during his time with the school, including the NYC Freshman and Sophomore Title and becoming undefeated Region 4 Division Champions. “He has changed the lives of many wrestlers in the school by being with them through both good and hard times as a friend and a coach.”

Volunteer of the Year: David Prado
Prado has been involved in wrestling since he was in elementary school and attended Arizona State on an athletic scholarship. He is committed to the sport because it has given him so much success and opportunity throughout his life that he seeks to “pay it forward” to other kids whenever possible. He shows tireless dedication to the cause of Beat the Streets, volunteering at practices several days a week.

MATT MITRIONE SI VYBÍRÁ BELLATOR MMA, PODPIS EXKLUZIVY, VÍCEBOJOVÁ SMLOUVA S PROPAGACÍ

Zanechat komentář

SANTA MONICA (Březen 14, 2016) - Minulý týden, volný hráč špičkových smíšených bojových umění Matt Mitrione (9-5) se připojil k show Ariela Helwaniho „Hodina MMA“ a odhalil, že nabízel nabídky z několika propagačních akcí, včetně skvělé nabídky, kterou obdržel od Bellator MMA. Ve velmi vzácném pohybu, Helwani nechal Mitrione znovu se připojit k jeho populární talk show na druhý týden po sobě, aby oznámil, že papírování bylo dokončeno, dělá z Mitrione nejnovějšího člena těžké váhy Bellator MMA.

 

„V životě každého sportovce přijde chvíle, kde se scénáře mění a krajina eroduje z toho, kvůli čemu jste se do ní zpočátku zamilovali,“ řekl Mitrione. "Už to pro mě nastalo.". Po oboustranně výhodném období bezplatného zastoupení, Rozhodl jsem se přesunout svou kariéru do Bellatoru. Užil jsem si téměř každou sekundu své kariéry a na rozdíl od většiny těch, kteří změnili organizaci kvůli tomu, že jsem byl přerušen nebo už nebyl schopen vystupovat na nejvyšší sportovní úrovni, Přináším tělo a sadu dovedností, které se jen zlepšují, a nemohu se dočkat, až otestuji své schopnosti proti tomu nejlepšímu, co Bellator nabízí."

 

S láskou označovaný jako „Meathead,Mitrione je jedním z mála bojovníků, kteří začali svou profesionální kariéru v UFC, aniž by předtím závodili na regionálním okruhu.. Jeho 14 zápas s touto propagací začal v roce 2009, kde čelil impozantním protivníkům, jako byli např: Kimbo Slice, Gabriel Gonzaga, Ben Rothwell, Derrick Lewis, Brendan Schaub, Roy Nelson, Mimo jiné Shawn Jordan a Travis Brown.

 

Před soutěží v MMA, Mitrione získal stipendium na defenzivní boj za fotbalový tým Purdue Boilermakers, nedaleko místa, kde vyrůstal ve Springfieldu, Nemocný. Po vysoké škole, hrál v NFL za New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers a Minnesota Vikings do 2005.

 

Na závěr své profesionální fotbalové kariéry, Shotokan Karate Black Belt zaměřil veškerou jeho pozornost na sport MMA. Mitrione trávil čas tréninkem s vévodou Roufusem a vysoce respektovaným týmem Roufusport, než přistál ve slavném kempu Blackzilians v Boca Raton., FLA, kde dnes trénuje.

 

Mimořádně oblíbený a dobře mluvený Mitrione dovolil rozhodčím určit výsledek jeho souboje pouze dvakrát, proti Joey Beltran a Cheick Kongo, oba aktuálně bojují za Bellator MMA. Jeho zábavný bojový styl mu vynesl uznání “Představení noci” (dvakrát) a “Boj noci” pocty.

 

Před jeho posledním bojem s jeho bývalým povýšením, Mitrione byl nucen zúčastnit se mediální relace naboso, protože jeho boty nedodržovaly přísnou politiku firemních uniforem. V Bellatoru žádné takové problémy mít nebude, kde si může zajistit vlastní sponzory a udržet si nohy v teple obuví dle vlastního výběru.

 

Bellator v poslední době posiluje svou divizi těžké váhy, a Mitrione se stává druhým volným hráčem těžké váhy, kterého povýšení za tolik měsíců podepsalo, jako Sergei Kharitonov se do boje zapojil v únoru. Divize je v současné době mistrem o Vitaly Minakov, a zahrnuje další přední jména jako Slice, Bobby Lashley, Cheick Kongo, Vinicius „Sparťan,"Tony Johnson.", Justin Wren, Dan Charles a Augusto Sakai.
