Boxe allenatore Orlando Cuellar va Ritorno al futuro in 5th St. Palestra

MIAMI (Ottobre 26, 2016) — Di fama internazionale allenatore di boxe Orlando Cuellar Has Come cerchio completo, a destra di nuovo al famoso 5th St. Gym a South Beach, dove ha visitato una volta come un adolescente per imparare e ora allena combattenti su sei giorni alla settimana.
Nato a L'Avana, Cuba, La famiglia di Cuellar reinsediati a Miami quando aveva tre anni, con Orlando vivere lì attraverso la scuola superiore. Come un pugile dilettante, Cuellar ricorda vividamente guardare pugili a 5th St. Gym quali Cassius Clay, Willie Pastrano, Vinnie breve e Florentino Fernandez, così come formatori leggendari, fratelli Angelo e Chris Dundee.
“Ho guardato e imparato, raccogliendo quanto più possibile,” Cuellar ha detto. “Ora, Mi ritrovo a lavorare fuori dal 5th St. Palestra per le ultime sei settimane. E 'stata un'esperienza incredibile. Ogni giorno, non si sa mai chi sta per camminare attraverso le porte lì. E 'stata una delle migliori palestre di pugilato in tutto il mondo per più di 50 anni. Dai tempi risalenti Muhammad Ali, combattenti sono stati attratti da questa palestra a causa della sua ricca storia e la grande sparring, così come per l'area con ristoranti di South Beach, club e la spiaggia. la calda, tempo umido rende anche più facile per i combattenti per perdere peso in esecuzione e la formazione.
“(Proprietario) Dino Spencer sta portando sulla 5th St. tradizione Gym. Ogni giorno ci sono è emozionante per me. gruppi etnici misti treno ed è una calamita per i talenti. C'è sparring tre giorni alla settimana – Io lo chiamo Spar-A-Rama – e benvenuto a tutti di sfidare se stessi. Lo sparring è meglio di un sacco di scontri televisivi.
“5th St. allenatore di ginnastica Guy Laieta aveva cercato di convincermi a far parte del team per gli ultimi cinque anni. Ho parlato con Dino in diverse occasioni, esprimere il mio desiderio di addestrare combattenti fuori dal 5th St. Palestra. Lui ha detto, 'Facciamolo.’ Il successo del 5th St. Palestra oggi ha molto a che fare con la proprietà. Dino ha una passione per la boxe e lui è molto ospitale, che scivola verso il basso per il suo staff e combattenti. Buone vibrazioni per tutto il tempo!”
Cuellar partito per Las Vegas nel 1976 e, dopo essersi reso conto che essere un pugile non era nel suo interesse, ha iniziato la formazione di combattenti là in 1981 fuori della palestra Johnny Garcia. Un anno dopo, ha spostato la sua base di Brooklyn e ha iniziato i combattenti di formazione di un'altra icona della boxe, Palestra Gleason. In 2000, ha reinsediato a Miami.
Meglio conosciuto come campione del mondo dei pesi massimi leggeri l'allenatore capo della Glen Johnson, Cuellar ha lavorato anche con i futuri campioni quali Nicolas Walters, Rances Barthelemy e Erslandy Lara, così come Luis Franco, Aaron Davis e Juan Carlos Gomez, per citarne alcuni dei più notabili. Oggi, lui è il capo secondo per diversi combattenti top tra cui Antonio Tarver.
Riconosciuto in tutta la boxe come insegnante superiore, Il successo di Cuellar è in gran parte attribuita alla sua formazione di combattenti su base individuale, incentrate sulle loro esigenze personali piuttosto che dare tutti i combattenti le stesse istruzioni e l'attenzione.
“Ogni combattente ha bisogno di lavoro personale e specifico per completare i loro talenti ricevuti da Dio,” Cuellar ha spiegato. “Non si può insegnare tutti i combattenti allo stesso modo. Sono specializzato in quello che io chiamo vecchia scuola incontra nuova scuola. Vecchia scuola era in anticipo e personale di andare 15 round, nuova scuola è di gettare più pugni, più movimento del piede e la lotta dall'esterno. Insegno doffense: difesa + offesa. Punzoni non sono le vitamine, Nessuno dovrebbe essere presa. La boxe è poco più di una battaglia di riflessi; uno combattenti contro un altro, ma il vero trucco è come il combattente usa i suoi riflessi. Io insegno ai miei combattenti come trasformare ring in un campo minato.”
Boxe ha giocato un ruolo enorme nella vita di Cuellar. Back in the 5th St. Gym è solo un altro capitolo della sua vita unica.
“Vivo con i miei combattenti,” Cuellar ha concluso. “Ogni vittoria è il mio momento più orgoglioso. Non ci sono grandi o piccole vittorie, ogni vittoria è un momento a causa di tutto il duro lavoro e sacrifici me e la mia caccia fatto durante il training camp felice.”
Orlando Cuellar è entusiasta di essere andato ritorno al futuro.

HOLLYWOOD, FL. (Giugno 4, 2016) – Undefeated lightweight world champion RancesBlast Kid” Barthelemy (25-0, 13 KO) defeated former world champion MickeyThe SpiritBey (22-2-1, 10 KO) con decisione split (117-110, 116-111, 110-117) in caso principale Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) su Punta Venerdì night at the Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hotel & Casinò di Hollywood, Florida.
Following an exciting first round in which Barthelemy backed Bey up at the bell, round two came to a close with similar fireworks in the form of an accidental head butt. In the commotion, a stunned Barthelemy stumbled to the canvas and referee Sam Burgos ruled it an official knockdown, making it the first of Barthelemy’s career.
Barthelemy said, “I really don’t remember exactly what happened, but I felt it was more of a slip than anything. I was a little off balance and we butted heads so at that point that’s when I went down, but that’s okay. I don’t mind that they counted it.
Bey had issues with the head contact also. “After I dropped him he got me again with a good head butt. The cut on my eye from that second head butt affected me for about four or five rounds, but it’s a fight, so you have to do the best you can with the vision you have. But I would have liked to avoid all the head contact.
It was the first time in my entire career, both amateurs and professionals, that I hit the canvas in any way,” added Barthelemy. “It was just a little surprising, but after that I knew I had to come out strong and put pressure on him because I knew the judges might hold that against me. My mentality originally was to outbox but I had to change my plans and start putting pressure on him.
In a fight that saw a lot of competitive back and forth action during the middle and late rounds, neither fighter was able to take complete control or end the evening early.
Barthelemy believed he’d done enough to win unanimously arguing, “When I heard the judge who gave the score to Bey I thought he was either blind or he was bought. I felt that was disrespectful not only to me but to the fans as well.
We knew what Mickey was prepared for though,” concluded Barthelemy. “We knew he was going to be an evasive counter puncher and we knew that Bey came from the Mayweather school of boxing. So we knew what we were up against and he put on a tough fight.
Bey vowed to avenge the hard-fought loss soon. “I’m ready to get right back after it and chase another belt. I’m looking to stay busy and get back in the ring soon.
In apertura televisivo, undefeated Puerto Rican bantamweight Emmanuel Rodriguez (15-0, 10 KO) beat experienced Mexican Alberto “Metro” Guevara (24-3, 9 KO) con decisione unanime (99-91, 100-90, 99-91).
Rodriguez controlled the opening rounds with a variety of left hooks and overhand rights, backing Guevara up at will.
My strategy was to come in and attack him because he is not your typical Mexican-style fighter,” Ha detto Rodriguez.
An accidental head butt at the end of round four led to a cut that developed under the left eye of Guevara.
We knew he was an awkward fighter,” said Rodriguez of their heads colliding, “But he was even more awkward than we thought.
A highly decorated amateur, Rodriguez continued his calculated, methodical approach throughout the middle rounds.
Rodriguez added, “We weren’t able to really decipher him in the first rounds but we were able to adjust eventually.
Guevara, who has fought in two world title fights, threw a change-up and came out fighting more wildly in round seven, causing Rodriguez some minor issues with the distance.
Tuttavia, Rodriguez stuck to his game plan and used his superior timing to coast to victory in the later rounds.
Guevara said, “My plan was to box him and tap him when I had him, but things didn’t come out that way. I’m not sure if it was a lack of focus or what it was, I’m just not sure. I feel good though. E 'stata una dura lotta, harder than I expected. He’s a strong guy. I felt a little constrained and a little slow, but I tried my best stasera.”
Rodriguez summed up the win adding, “Mi sento benissimo, meno male. I’m really happy with this Victory, it was a victory that I needed to add onto my record and thankfully I was able to get it. Now I’m going to take a month off and wait until my management team tells us what fight date comes next so we can continue to pursue the goals we have set for ourselves.
The second televised bout featured unbeaten prospect Caleb “Mani dolci” Impianto(13-0, 10 KO) getting a knockout victory over Columbia’s Carlos Galvan (12-5-1, 11 KO) in un incontro medi.
Plant spent much of the first two rounds displaying his trademark showmanship and feeling out Galvan.
Plant said his strategy entering the ring was, “To be sharp and slick stasera, stay relaxed and patient. I didn’t want to force anything or leave myself out there too long.
That’s exactly what Plant did, ending the bout in the fourth with a devastating blow to Galvan’s solar plexus.
A frustrated Galvan said, “He got a lucky shot, I threw a straight right and he slipped by it and landed a body shot to my liver so I wasn’t able to continue with the fight after that.
It was just about staying patient and waiting for him to make a mistake,” detto impianto. “I wanted to take advantage, and that’s what happened. I took the body shot when I saw he was open and he went down.

Ecco ciò che i combattenti avevano da dire Mercoledì:
Rances Barthélemy
I’m very excited to be fighting here close to Miami. This is a second home for Cubans and I’m really motivated to put on a great performance for the fans.
Ismael Salas is one of the top trainers in the world and our whole team has been fantastic. We’re ready to get in the ring and fight.
I come prepared with a few strategies. I never stick to one game plan because us Cubans were taught to have a few up your sleeve so that you can adjust according to whatever presents itself to you in the ring.
If we don’t get the knockout, then we are ready to go the distance. My team is prepared to go the distance if we have to, but also to give an entertaining fight.
You’re going to see a new Rances Barthelemy in 2016.
“Non perdete questa lotta. Get there early, because it might not go five. Get ready for a great night of boxing.
MICKEY BEY
I want to give Rances props for stepping up and taking the fight. This is the beautiful thing about boxing, il meglio combattere il migliore.
You have a two-time champion fighting a world champion that never lost his belt in the ring. That says it all right there. We’re two elite fighters. We’re both going for glory.
No matter what anybody says today, it comes down to the action il Venerdì.
I’m in there with the same mindset no matter who I’m fighting. I’m coming in there to do what I do no matter what. It’s just another day for me.
You’ll see a throwback fighter in there. I’m like the fighters from back in the day. I’m here looking for the victory. I don’t care how I get it and I can’t predict. But we want to have our hand raised.
I’m coming to get what is rightfully mine. Da non perdere.”
EMMANUEL RODRIGUEZ
I feel great and ready for Venerdì. I’m not worried about domani at all, we’re right on weight, so we’re just looking forward to stepping into the ring at this point.
We’ve been in training camp for six months as we had a tentative fight date scheduled prior to this so I was already in the gym getting ready. We’re in the best shape.
We have seen footage of him and saw he makes a lot of mistakes. We analyzed those defaults and are using them as a strategy against him. We’ve put those into practice and think we will be able to execute them to come out victorious at the end of the night.
He’s not your typical Mexican warrior fighter, he’s the total opposite actually so we’re not worried about what he does.
ALBERTO GUEVARA
I’m ready for this big opportunity and I’m ready to fight. This is a big card and it’s very exciting.
I know what I have in front of me. Emmanuel Rodriguez is a good fighter, but he’s just another opponent to me.
I’m well prepared and I believe I’m going to win this fight.
CALEB IMPIANTO
I’m thankful to have this stage to perform on. I’m glad the media could come out and get a sneak peek of what I’m going to bring Venerdì notte.
The game plan is to go in there and look sharp, be slick, make adjustments and dictate the pace. He’s going to be uncomfortable because we’re going to dictate the pace. We’ll see if he can keep up.
I’ve seen enough tape on, which wasn’t very much. I let my coaches breakdown the film and let me know what I need to do.
This is my only job and I do it well. I’m not into getting ready, Rimango pronto. We’re here to show out.
I’ve had a great training camp. I worked hard and I’m ready to put on a show questo Venerdìnotte. I’m going to do what I always do in there.

Ecco ciò che i combattenti avevano da dire su campo di addestramento, their matchup and more:

What advantages do you believe you have because of your training team?

Rances Barthelemy: “A me, Ismael is the best trainer in the world. He was the lead trainer of the Cuban National Team at the time that Cuban amateur boxing was having its most success. He is truly underrated and I do not know why.

Having gone through different trainers throughout my career, I am glad that I found Salas. We clicked right off the bat, and him being a Cuban and having a successful background both in the Cuban amateur system and in the pros, he’s been able to incorporate the best from both worlds in his training methods. He has also been able to bring out abilities in me that others were not able to and it has made me a completely different fighter.

Mickey Bey:Floyd Sr. has been my trainer for about 12 anni. We’ve been together since I was a teenager and before I turned pro. He is an old school trainer and he knows the science of boxing.

Being around the other Mayweather Promotions fighters provides a lot of energy to training because everybody is striving to be the best they can be. Whenever that’s the case it’s always a positive thing because the trainers know that’s what you’re after. Floyd Sr. and Floyd are the reason I moved to Las Vegas. It’s been a blessing to be able to train with him for so long. We gelled from the beginning and I have definitely grown a lot as a fighter.

What does fighting for this belt mean to you?

RB:I don’t really focus on this being another title defense. I just focus on it being another fight that I must win impressively so that I can get to the big fights. There is no added pressure from it being a title defense. I just want everyone to see the boxing ability that I have so that I can get the big fights that I want and deserve.

MB:Winning back this belt is really important to me. I still feel like it’s mine. He’s just been keeping it warm for me. I had to deal with the injuries but now I don’t have to worry about babying my hand or anything like that.

What do you think this fight will be like stylistically?

RB:I plan on this being a great fight between two great boxers. He has a great amateur and pro background, come faccio, and hopefully that makes for a great show.

MB:You never really know until you’re in the ring but it’s going to be a fight between two skilled boxers. I have seen some footage but not too much because I don’t really watch much tape. I saw him fight for my vacant belt but I can’t get caught up in that because I’m different than anybody he’s ever fought. I’m a lot more difficult than he probably thinks.

What skill advantages do you believe you have over your opponent?

RB: “I feel I am the better all-around fighter. I have the reach, height and power over him. I feel he has shown in the past that he can’t take a good punch, so we will see if he can take mine.

MB:I bring it all. I can do everything that can be done in the ring. Every single department, periodo. I do think he’s a good fighter, I give him his props, he’s a two-time world champion, but I don’t think he can do one thing better than me.

What did you learn from your fight with Denis Shafikov?

RB:It was a really tough fight and definitely a great learning experience. I made it tougher than it should have been but I had never been in a war like that before and adrenaline kicked in. The blood made me want to dig down and trade with him in the center of the ring and beat him at his own game. It was the first time I had to go down to the trenches and engage in a fight like that but I wanted to do it to show that not all Cubans are boring and only box around.

What did you learn from your fight with Miguel Vazquez?

MB:I found out how good I was because I was able to beat a guy that good with one hand. Going into it I already knew I was going to be fighting with one hand since it had been giving me problems. I couldn’t let both hands go, so I had to strategically land more accurate shots. I couldn’t let it become a high volume fight because I knew I wouldn’t be able to respond with both hands. This is my first fight in four or five years with two good hands, so it’s going to be a completely different ball game.

What does it mean to you to fight in south Florida in front of your Cuban fans?

RB:That’s my backyard and it’s another advantage for me. It is like being in a free Cuba pretty much and I don’t think I’ll ever feel as comfortable fighting anywhere else with the majority of the people being there to support me. It means the world to me to be able to fight in front of my fans and my closest friends. It’s the closest thing to being able to fight in my country.

Are you concerned about fighting on the road in front of a crowd that is expected to be for your opponent?

MB:They can’t get in the ring for him. It’s just going to be me and him. Nobody can get in the ring and help him. It doesn’t add any pressure. I grew up hard, in a rough neighborhood and I’ve been through a lot so I’m numb to any pressure. I’m just ready to get in the ring with him.

What are your plans after this fight?

RB:I will be headed straight to the Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C. after the fight to try to obtain a visa so I can finally return to Cuba and visit my family that I have not seen since my defection eight years ago. I thought I would never be able to return but now I will be returning as a two-time world champion with grand dreams of one day headlining the first pro boxing event in Cuba.

MB:After this fight I’ll be looking for another big competitive fight. Sono sempre alla ricerca di una sfida. That’s why I’m in this fight.

Why do you believe you’ll be victorious on June 3?

RB:I feel I am levels above Mickey Bey in all aspects of the game. I am comfortable with my training and I plan on returning to Miami with my second world title. The adrenaline of fighting in front of my Cuban people will add fuel to my fire and propel me to victory. I am on a mission to be great and leave an imprint in the sport and Mickey Bey is in the way.

MB: “Sono un combattente migliore. It’s that simple.

(NASHVILLE, TN) Maggio 24, 2016Nashville’s unbeaten middleweight prospect,Caleb “Mani dolci” Impianto (12-0, 9 KO) is scheduled to return to the ring on Giugno 3, 2016 against Colombia’s Carlos Galvan (12-4-1, 2 KO). The scheduled 8-round bout will be televised on the undercard of Barthelemy vs. Bey al Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casinò di Hollywood, Florida as Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Spike TV goes live at 9 p.m. E/PT.
In his last bout on January, 22 di quest'anno, Plant dominated his opponent, winning by way of a 6th-round TKO. He’ll look to continue his winning ways on June, 3rd.
I’m always looking to get better with each fight,” ha detto Caleb Impianto. “Every fight brings on a different challenge and I’m ready for any style that comes my way. Galvan has a lot of knockouts so I have to be aware of his power shots. I will control the action from the opening bell and make my adjustment as the fight goes on. If I get him hurt, Io vado per il ko.”
After turning pro in May of 2014, Caleb has rapidly made his presences felt in the middleweight division by winning all twelve of his bout, nine of which came by way of knockout. Plant feels grateful about his career as it is headlining in the right direction.
To be in the position I am this early in my career is a blessing.” Impianto continua. “My management team and trainers are doing a fantastic job with everything and I couldn’t be any happier. I know fighting on television is very important for my fan base, so I want to come out and put on a great show. This will be my first time fighting on Spike TV and I want to leave a lasting impression. Expect to see some fireworks.
