Owen Minor with his sons, (L) Ramiel and Amaren

WORCESTER, Μάζα. (Μάρτιος 5, 2019) – Decorated amateur boxer Owen Μικρά has spent the past three years focusing on fatherhood responsibilities.

The 32-year-old Minor, who didn’t start boxing until he was 23, captured bronze medals at the 2014 Η.Π.Α.. Boxing National and National Golden Gloves tournaments. New England boxing fans have been anxiously waiting for his pro debut.

Why did it take so long for Minor to turn pro, especially after a relatively late start in the sport, in addition to developing into quality national amateur boxer?

“I was being a father,” Minor explained. “I have two sons, τώρα 11 και 8, and living in Worcester is tough. I wanted to make sure that I put them in the right direction.”

A former standout football player (fullback/defensive end) at Holy Name High School, Minor knows what he’s talking about, working full-time with juvenile offenders for the Department of Youth Services in Westborough, ΜΑ.

“We are excited to have Owen making his pro debut on our first card,” υποστηρικτής Chuck Shearns remarked. “He is at a point in his life where he feels he can balance boxing and family. Owen is in tremendous shape and can punch through concrete! Fans will really enjoy watching his fight.”

Κέντρικ Μπάλα, Sr. trains his son as well as his nephew, Minor, who takes on Philadelphia’s Corey Morley (0-2-1) in the four-round, συν-χαρακτήρισε εκδήλωση.

“It’s a privilege to make my pro debut in my hometown on a card headlined by my cousin,” Minor said. “Not every boxer gets a chance like this. It’s a great honor for me. I love the City of Worcester and the people who live here. Boxing has always been big in my family and I want to continue our legacy in Worcester boxing.”

Undefeated Southbridge, MA welterweight Wilfredo “η Sucaro” Ειδωλολατρικός (5-0, 3 KOs) meets an upset-specialist, Peruvian Carlos Galindo (1-7), fighting out of Woburn, ΜΑ, in a four-round clash.

Hometown favorite Kendrick Ball, Jr. headlining at home to establish his place in Worcester’s rich boxing history

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

WORCESTER, Μάζα. (Φεβρουάριος 21, 2019) – Worcester boxer Kendrick “Peppa” Μπάλα, Jr. is living the dream and closing in on some of his goals in the ring.

Μπάλα (11-1-2, 8 KOs), fighting out of his native Worcester, ΜΑ, will headline his first show and fight for his first title belt, when he headlines “Every Man For Himself”, the inaugural event presented by Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP), on Friday night, Μάρτιος 15, στο The Palladium στο Worcester. This will be the first time Ball headlines a show, in addition to fighting for his first title, in the six-round main event for the vacant New England middleweight title,

The 26-year-old Ball, promoted by CES Boxing, πρόσωπα αναστατωμένος-minded Ντάνι “Feel Good Hollywood” Rosenberger (4-6-4, 1 KO), του Youngstown, Οχάιο.

“This fight is so important for me because I’ve always wanted to headline in my hometown and fight for a title,” το 6′ 3″ Ball said. “Another goal of mine, before I started boxing, was to fight on a card with my cousin, Owen Μικρά, ο οποίος θα κάνει το ντεμπούτο του pro. He’s a big puncher and people can expect a big KO from him.

“I’m an exciting fighter who likes to get knockouts. Expect something big to happen March 15ου. I’m working on boxing more, using my jab a lot, to improve. Δεν ξέρω πολλά για τον αντίπαλό μου, but I understand he likes to move a lot.”

“Shearns Boxing is happy to have Kendrick Ball, Jr. headline our Mar. 15ου κάρτα,” SBP promoter Chuck Shearns σχολίασε. “He’s a good kid whose family is rooted in Worcester boxing. There definitely is a rise in the number of quality fighters coming out of Worcester. This will probably be our last chance to watch Kendrick Jr. fighting in Worcester before his promoter, Πυγμαχία CES, has him fighting on the national scene.”

Μπάλα, who started boxing at 13, experienced an unusual start to his boxing career, losing his first nine amateur bouts, before becoming a decorated boxer who turned pro in 2016.

“I wasn’t really ready, my head wasn’t into boxing when I started,” Ball explained. “I didn’t want to quit, and that experience taught me to never to give up. I knew that I was good – I had success sparring with pros – but it wasn’t there when I fought. I kept punching and grew into my own.”

Ball captured gold medals at three Western Golden Gloves Championships, plus top honors at the Rocky Marciano Tournament, also becoming a prestigious USA New England champion.

Εκπαιδευμένος από τον πατέρα του, Ken Ball, Sr., who owns and operates Camp Get Right gym in Worcester, Ball Sr. & Jr. have succeeded when many father-son relationships in boxing have often failed.


“We have a tight bond and we’ve been doing this since he was little,” Ball Sr. reported. “It’s worked out well. I try to separate father-son and make it trainer-boxer, but that’s hard at times.”

His son added, “It’s all good. Sometimes it’s difficult and becomes a little hard, but only because he’s pushing me. He’s my trainer, mostly, during fights.”

Father and son agree that there is a boxing resurgence in Worcester, which has a rich history dating back a century, but it also went through a slow period. Ball is part of a gifted quartet that’s making noise today in boxing, συμμετοχή Khiary Γκρι, Jermaine Ortiz και Ίρβιν Γκονζάλες.

“Over the last three years,” Ball St. remarked, “boxing has been hot again in Worcester. There are a lot of talented, young boxers in Worcester. Once Khiary turned pro, that triggered a lot of boxers turning pro.”

“We’re all close,” Ball Jr. κατέληξε στο συμπέρασμα. “We’ve trained together and support each other.”

Worcester boxing is on the rise and more talent is turning pro, starting Mar. 15ου when Ball’s cousin, Minor, makes his long-awaited pro debut in a four-rounder versus Corey Morley (0-2-1), της Φιλαδέλφειας.

Undefeated Providence light heavyweight Angel Camacho, Jr. (15-0, 5 KOs) returns to the ring after a three-year absence in a six-round bout, co-featured event against Dallas challenger Taronze Washington (17-26, 9 KOs).

Undefeated Southbridge, MA welterweight Wilfredo “η Sucaro” Ειδωλολατρικός (5-0, 3 KOs) takes on upset-minded Peruvian Carlos Galindo (1-7), fighting out of Woburn, ΜΑ, in a four-round clash.
