Otha Jones III competing at Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018

Straight outta Toledo….
Outubro. 6-18 na Argentina

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Outubro 4, 2018) Two-time USA National Champion Otha Jones III is heading to Argentina tomorrow to make a statement at the Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires, Outubro 6-18 in Parque Polidesportivo Roca.

 

 

 

Jones is from the new home of amateur boxing champions, Toledo, Ohio, where the 18-year-old Jones is also making a difference in his community, especially after his brother was shot and killed a few weeks ago while he was riding a bike.

 

 

 

Otha first got interested in boxing after watching a YouTube boxing sensation. “I thought that was cool,” light welterweight Jones explained, “so I asked my father to take me to a gym. I soon learned that I was good at it, worked hard, and now I’m heading to the Youth Olympics.

 

 

 

Fighters at all the gyms in Toledo help each other out. (2017 Campeão dos EUA nos pesos pesados) Jared Anderson is my best friend. The first year we trained at the same gym, but I never sparred with him (rindo), because he’s too big for me. We’re at different gyms now. Six Toledo boxers, five of my teammates, are in the USA Boxing program, including my sister, (welterweight) Oshae Jones, who is on the women’s Elite team competing right now in Spain. We all push each other to the limit.

 

 

 

In addition to capturing gold at the last two USA National Championships, he also won top honors at the 2018 Youth Continental Championships, plus a silver medal at the 2018 Emil Jechev Memorial Tournament.

 

 

 

Self-described as an unorthodox boxer-puncher, Jones says he, “Throws punches from all angles. I can box well or sit and fight if I have to.

 

 

 

Jones, quem tem um 267-11 registro amador, has already traveled and competed in Bulgaria, Hungary and Russia. He’s looking forward to experiencing Argentina, where he will live and train for two weeks in an Olympic village atmosphere.

 

 

 

Making it this far to the Youth Olympic, so far, is the highlight of my career,” ele disse. “I love traveling to different countries to experience and learn about new cultures. My goal is to fight at the 2020 Olympics in Japan and win a gold medal. I need to improve my skills; punch harder and place my punches better.

 

 

 

After the Olympics, I plan to turn pro. I want to move my family out of the ghetto and get better clothes and meals for everyone.

 

 

 

I own the Soul City Gym with my brother and dad. A lot of kids in Toledo have nothing to do. We go on social media to tell these kids to come by the gym to get in shape. We are part of a program that feeds these kids. We feel that, the less time on the street, we can help stop the violence, like my brother being killed. We’re trying to get kids off the streets and in the gym.

 

 

Otha Jones III (blue)

 

 

 

 

Jones also noted that he really enjoys training in Colorado Springs, not only because of the outstanding facilities and coaching, but for his peace of mind.

 

 

 

I thought I was in top shape training in Toledo,” Jones added, “but you come here, and the air is different. After training at sea level, you get tired training here. Eu amo isso aqui. There are so many nice buildings and facilities, it’s like a small city, only without crime. I can be myself here.

 

 

 

Otha Jones, III is making an impact in and out of the ring, whether he’s at home in Toledo, training in Colorado Springs, or competing around the world.

National Golden Gloves champion Roney Hines to make pro debut this Friday in Sloan, Iowa

 

Cleveland, Ohio (Julho 16, 2018) – This Friday night at the WinnaVegas Casino Resort in Sloan, Iowa, 2018 Nacional de Ouro campeão Luvas, heavyweight Roney Hines will make his pro debut when he takes on David Becker in a four-round bout that will precede a ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader.

 

 

 

Hines, 23 anos, de Cleveland, Ohio won the National Golden Gloves in May in Omaha, Nebraska, which is just an 90 minute drive from Sloan, Iowa.

 

 

 

I am ready to get this out of the way, and put my name on the map. I want to show people what I have,” said Hines.

 

 

 

Hines, who describes himself as a boxer-puncher, has the physical attributes of the modern day heavyweight by standing almost 6-foot-7 and weighing close to 240 libras.

 

 

 

Hines, who recently signed with GH3 Promotions explained he is with the New Jersey based promotion due to past success moving young fighters along.

 

 

 

I am very comfortable with GH3. With Vito Mielnicki, it’s a family type of atmosphere. I plan to fight every month if I can. Whenever Vito says he can get me in the ring, then I will fight. I just want to take this 1 step at a time. I know what I bring as a fighter, and I am looking forward to showing my skills.

 

 

 

In Becker, Hines is facing an opponent who is 1-1 com 1 knockout from St. Joseph, Missouri.

 

 

 

I do not know anything about him. He just needs to know who I am, and if he doesn’t, I will show him on Friday.

 

 

 

I am going to work hard, and take this one step at a time. I will be a factor in the heavyweight division before too long.

 

 

 

Hines is promoted by GH3 Promotions and is co-managed by Chances Aurelius and former NFL star Ray Edwards. Hines is trained by Push Davis.

 

 

 

Mielnicki said, “I am looking for Roney to have around 15 fights before the end of 2019.

Here is what Gonzalez had to say ahead of Sexta-feira night’s fight.

 

On his recent training camp with Ruben Guerrero Sr.:

 

My good friend Oscar Escandon introduced me to Mr. Guerrero about a month ago. I came to California to start training with Ruben shortly after. It’s been a great transition and training camp has been very productive. I’ve been sparring every other day since I got here. I’m in good shape and I’m ready to perform at my best nesta sexta-feira.”

 

On facing undefeated Russian prospect Radzhab Butaev:

 

I know I have a tough fight ahead of me, but I’m ready for the challenge. Butaev had a tremendous amateur career, but so did I. I have over 300 amateur fights under my belt and there is nothing Butaev will bring to the ring that I haven’t already seen. We equally have a lot of power, so the fans can expect to see some big shots being thrown by both of us. I’m going to leave everything in the ring come fight night.

 

On making his U.S. debut and what a victory on Showtime will do for his career:

 

Fighting on SHOWTIME is a tremendous blessing for me. This is my first fight in America and I going to make it special. The exposure I will get can take my career to the next level, especially if I come out victorious. A win will garner me some big fights and some big paydays. I’m fighting for my family and my countrymen in Colombia. My motivation is at an all-time high and the boxing world will know my name after this fight.”

Introducing undefeated welterweight prospect Boubacar Sylla

Nova Iorque (Julho 19, 2017) –Boubacar Sylla is attempting to be the next in a long line of fighters from Cincinnati, Ohio to become world champion.

O 22 year-old Sylla, who is managed by Split-T Management, and has established himself as a prospect to watch as he has raced out to a record of 7-0 com seis nocautes.

Sylla started boxing at the age of 14 as his grandfather was a boxer, and Sylla decided that’s what he wanted to pursue.

At first it was tough convincing everyone in the family that boxing should be an occupation.

My mom at first did not want to see me get hurt,” said Sylla. “Mas agora, she supports me fully.

After an amateur career that saw Sylla go 64-15, Sylla turned professional on February 13, 2016 with a 2nd round stoppage over Shannon Kelly in Chester, West Virginia.

Since then he racked up six more wins, and Sylla continues to grow as a fighter.

I am a boxer/puncher. I use the ring and technique. I am working on a lot, and I feel that I am getting better with each camp.

When Sylla goes to camp, he gets good work with local boxers Jamel Herring, Jamontay Clark, Chris Pearson and IBF Lightweight champion Robert Easter.

Sylla has championship pedigree in his corner as he is trained by Tim Singleton, Terrell Nixon and former world bantamweight champion Tim Austin.

Sylla, who has fights scheduled for Agosto 27, e September 30th, wants to stay active and continue his development.

I am looking for six or seven fights this year, and then see where I am at. I trust my manager, and I will be ready for when the competition gets tougher. I want to continue to go to these camps and get better.

Hard work that is combined with dedication and a positive outlook has Sylla very optimistic about his future.

I stay to myself, and I am not into large crowds or going out to clubs and such. I just stay positive and have positive people like my family around me. I see myself as being undefeated and being around a positive environment, and continue to work in the gym. I am outgoing and always in a good mood, and with that outlook, I feel that I will go far in the sport.

Sylla is developing nicely as a second year pro. He’s showing a lot of speed and power in all of his fights. He is a good body puncher, who has excellent size at over 6-foot and his most impressive weapon is a long, blistering, fast jab,” said Tim VanNewhouse of Split-T Management.
He’s a good and humble kid to work with, and we’re glad to have him apart of the growing Split-T family of fighters. We see good things on the horizon for him.

Top Bantamweight Antonio Nieves Scorches Hungary’s Szilveszter Ajtai and Sets Sights on Showdown with WBA Champ Warren

Último sábado (Novembro 26), Cleveland, Ohio-based bantamweight Antonio “Carita” Nieves stayed busy and kept himself in line for a cross-state showdown with Cincinnati-based WBA Bantamweight Champion Rau’shee Warren by stopping Hungary’s Szilveszter Ajtai with a single body shot.
Fighting at the Firebird Athletic Center in Bedford, Ohio, WBO #5-rated Nieves (17-0-2, 9 KOs) planted a single left hook to the Hungarian’s body at :46 seconds of round two to earn his 17th professional victory. Watch the video of the knockout AQUI.
The impressive victory keeps alive Nievesdream of facing cross-state rival Warren in an all-Ohio bantamweight championship fight.
The goal has always been to become a world champion,” said Nieves, pós-luta. “I’d love to fight for the WBO championship and bring that belt back to the United States. The dream fight would be a unification fight with Rau’shee Warren. I would love an all American, all Ohio match up with a great fighter like Rau’shee. We fought once in the amateurs back in 2011 when I had about four hours’ aviso prévio. He won that fight by decision in Cincinnati. While we have always respected him, the next time we meet, there will be a different result and a different winner.
Nieves’ promotor, Dmitry Salita of Salita Promotions, says he’s happy with his fighter’s performance.

Antonio did what he’s supposed to do as one of the world’s best 118-lb fighters,” Disse Palavra. “That body shot he landed was one that few fighters could withstand. He’s in perfect shape and ready for his world title shot, which we are working to secure for him in the near future. I’m not sure I want Rau’shee Warren’s people to watch the video though. They may not give us the fight we really want.
