Next wave continuing rich Reno boxing history

Laat een reactie achter
Inaugural RJJ Boxing & Silver Legacy event
Co-promoted with Joey Gilbert Promotions

Event live streaming en uitsluitend op UFC FIGHT PASS



LAS VEGAS (September 16, 2019) – The next wave of Reno boxers will continue its rich boxing tradition October 25 op “RJJ Boxing op UFC FIGHT PASS®,” co-promoted by Joey Gilbert Promotions in association with Silver Legacy Resort Casino at THE ROW in Reno, Nevada.

The event will be streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS, 's werelds toonaangevende digitale abonnementsdienst voor vechtsporten, vanaf 10 p.m. EN / 7 p.m. PT, from inside the Grande Exposition Hall at Silver Legacy.

Local boxers such as featherweight Ricardo Lucio Galvan (2-0, 2 KO) en super lichtgewicht Wilfred Mariano (1-0, 1 KO) are all slated to fight on the Oct. 25th card against opponents to be determined.

Organized boxing was held during the early 1880’s in small mining towns in the Northwest section of Nevada, professional boxing matches were conducted there later that century.

Hall of Fame promotor Tex Richard and legendary heavyweight Jack Johnson first put Reno on the boxing map on July 4, 1910, when World heavyweight champion successfully defending his title against James J. Jeffries, stopping him in the 15th round at what was reportedly the only venue ever built for a single boxing event. Wanneer President William Taft declined Richard’s offer to referee, Richards became the third man in the ring. Boxing stars including Jake Kilrain, Tommy Burns, en Abe Attell were introduced to the reported crowd of 16,528.

Richard first brought another Hall of Fame heavyweight champion, Jack Dempsey, to Reno in 1915 for his ninth pro fight, when Dempsey stopped Emmanuel Campbell in the fourth round at Airdrome Arena. To fight, Dempsey had to “ride the rails” from Utah to Reno, stored away on a train with hobos. Dempsey returned three years later to knockoutJack Moran in the opening round at Moana Spring Arena.

Dempsey may have been involved in unsanctioned fights in Reno as well. Desperate for money during the early part of his boxing career, Dempsey is infamous for walking into saloons and saying, “I can’t sing, and I can’t dance, but I can lick any SOB in the house.”

In 1982 op HBO, future Hall of Famer “Suiker” Ray Leonard successfully defended his World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight World titles at Centennial Coliseum, uitspelen van Bruce Finch in round three.

Reno-based Gilbert’s first three (2001-2003) and last three (2010) pro fights were held in Reno, where he had a 7-2 (6 KO) pro record.

Gilbert commented, “Having fought as both an amateur and a professional at these same properties; THE ROW, Eldorado, Silver Legacy, and Circus Circus, which are like a second home to me and all Nevada boxing alumni, it’s really an honor to bring boxing and combat sports back to Northern Nevada, a true fight town, and to provide world class entertainment and an incredible digital production through Roy Jones JR Boxing and UFC FIGHT PASSs, in a partnership with the very casinos and environment that helped make me who I am today; I couldn’t be more delighted to be a part of this opportunity with Eldorado Resorts and UFC Fight Pass through Roy Jones Jr Promotions. I’m looking forward to a prosperous partnership with everyone involved, including the local community and all fight fans in the area.”

Hall of Fame scheidsrechter Mills Lane was an adopted son of Reno, arguably the No. 1 referee in the world of boxing, during his high-profile stretch of activity.

Reno has also hosted major amateur boxing events like the 2016 NCBA (college) Western Regional Championships at the Eldorado Hotel and USA Boxing’s 2018 Western Elite Qualifier and Regional Open. Reno will host the 2020 Western Elite Qualifier & Regional Open, Maart 21-28, 2020.

Undefeated super lightweight prospect Kendo “Tremendo” Castaneda (16-0, 7 KO), fighting out of San Antonio, faces Estonia-native Stan Martyniouk (20-2, 6 KO), die woont in Belmont, Californië, in the eight-round main event on Oct. 25th.

The co-featured event pits undefeated Sacramento cruiserweight Blake McKernan (10-0, 2 KO) tegen Francisco Rivas (15-2, 5 KO), van Mexico, in een acht-ronde Bout.

Undefeated WIBA World female bantamweight champion Rosalindo Rodriguez (10-0, 2 KO), van Miami, takes on Las Vegas’ ongeslagen Jamie “The Miracle” Mitchell (5-0-2, 3 KO) in a six-round non-title fight.

Galvan is matched against Sacramento’s pro-debuting Samir McQueen, while Mariano faces an opponent to be determined.

Also scheduled to fight on the undercard in separate four-round bouts against TBAs are undefeated Las Vegas lightweight Daquan Mays (3-0, 1 KO) and Sacramento lightweight Sergio Vega (2-0, 2 KO).

Event live streaming en uitsluitend op UFC FIGHT PASS

LAS VEGAS (September 9, 2019) - Ongeslagen super lichtgewicht vooruitzichtKendo "Enorme" Castaneda plans to do some early trick or treatin’ October 25th, when he headlines another installment of “RJJ Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS®,” co-promoted by Joey Gilbert Promotions in association with Silver Legacy Resort Casino at THE ROW in Reno, Nevada.

Castaneda had approximately 120 amateur gevechten, highlighted by his gold-medal winning performance at the 2018 Ringside World Championships. He was also a two-time San Antonio and Texas State Golden Gloves champion (201102012), losing both times at the Golden Gloves National Championships to the eventual champion.

TICKETS TE KOOP NU



RENO, Nev. (Mei 9, 2019) - De superheld bij uitstek van boksen, Oscar Valdez, maakt zaterdag de zesde verdediging van zijn WBO-vedergewicht wereldtitel, Juni 8 tegen de boosaardige Jason "El Alacrancito" Sanchez in het Reno-Sparks Convention Center.

Undercard-aanvallen worden live gestreamd op ESPN +, de toonaangevende streamingdienst voor meerdere sporten, vanaf 6:30 p.m. EN / 3:30 p.m. PT. Gabriel Flores Jr. (13-0, 6 KO), vers van zijn derde ronde knock-out over Eduardo Pereira Reis voor meer dan 10,000 fans in zijn geboorteplaats Stockton, Californië, ziet actie op de undercard.

Gepromoot door Top Rank, in samenwerking met Let's Get It On Promotions en Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, tickets voor dit wereldkampioenschap-evenement geprijsd op $103, $68 en $43 (inclusief facilitaire vergoedingen) zijn nu in de verkoop en kunnen worden gekocht via Ticketmaster.com of persoonlijk in de cadeauwinkel van Atlantis Casino Resort Spa.

“Jason Sanchez is de echte‘ Assepoester-man,'', Zei Bob Arum, voorzitter van de Top Rank. "Hij is jong, hongerig en in staat om een ​​grote overstuur te veroorzaken. Het zou een spannende strijd moeten worden. "

“Ik ben opgewonden om weer in de ring te staan ​​voor de zesde verdediging van mijn wereldtitel. Ik weet dat er een groot doelwit op mijn rug ligt, want ik ben de kampioen, maar niemand zal mij deze titel afnemen,'Zei Valdez. “Dit wordt mijn tweede vechttraining met Eddy Reynoso. Trainen met Eddy, Ik voel me het beste dat ik ooit heb gevoeld. Ik voelde me geweldig in de ring tijdens mijn eerste gevecht met Eddy in mijn hoek. Ik weet dat ik er deze keer nog beter uit zal zien. De fans in Reno en kijken op ESPN en ESPN Deportes kunnen op 8 juni een geweldige show van mij verwachten. "

'Ik ben echt vereerd en gezegend met deze kans,”Sanchez zei. 'Komende uit Albuquerque, New Mexico, Ik wist dat ik extra hard moest werken om opgemerkt te worden en te komen waar ik nu ben. Ik breng deze riem naar Albuquerque, aan mijn familie, mijn supporters, en vooral, mijn overleden broer Alan Sanchez. Ik geloof dat hij me op deze weg heeft begeleid en dat mijn reis nog maar net begint. "

Valdez (25-0, 20 KO), Mexico's eerste tweevoudige Olympiër, heeft boksfans enthousiast gemaakt met zijn go-for-brak stijl. Hij won in juli de WBO-titel in vedergewicht 2016 en bewees zijn moed met een trio van 12-ronden bloedbaden tegen Miguel Marriaga, Genesis Servania en Scott Quigg in opeenvolgende periodes. Valdez overleefde afgelopen maart een overgewicht Quigg met eenparigheid van stemmen, ondanks meer dan de helft van de wedstrijd met een ernstig gebroken kaak.. Na het Quigg-gevecht, Valdez nam bijna een jaar vrij, terugkerende februari. 2 in Frisco, Texas, om de toen nog ongeslagen Italiaanse uitdager Carmine Tommasone uit te schakelen in de zevende ronde.

De 24-jarige Sanchez (14-0, 7 KO) betreedt dit kampioensgevecht als een van de snelst stijgende jonge wapens van de vedergewichtdivisie. Afgelopen oktober, hij verbaasde de toen ongeslagen Jean Carlos Rivera via een unaniem besluit in Panama City, Panama. Na de overwinning in Rivera, Sanchez tekende een langlopend promotiecontract met Top Rank. Hij maakte indruk in zijn Top Rank-debuut Feb. 2 in Frisco, Texas, Daniel Olea knock-out in de tweede ronde. Sanchez hoopt pas de vijfde herenbokser uit New Mexico te worden die een wereldtitel wint.

Barrera (22-2, 14 KO), een voormalig Cubaans amateur-hoogtepunt, overgelopen naar de Verenigde Staten in 2009 en werd later dat jaar pro. De in Miami gevestigde krachtpatser won de eerste 17 periodes van zijn carrière voordat hij een besluit liet vallen om grote Andre Ward te beuken. Een eeuwige kanshebber, Barrera heeft overwinningen op Joe Smith Jr., Vyacheslav Shabranskyy, Karo Murat en voormalig wereldkampioen super middengewicht Jeff Lacy. Hij daagde vorig jaar Dmitry Bivol uit voor een licht zwaargewicht wereldtitel en vocht dapper voordat hij werd gestopt in de 12th en laatste ronde.

Zeehonden (22-2, 16 KO), een voormalige linebacker voor Alabama A&M Universiteit, ruilde zijn schoenen in voor trunks en werd prof na een amateurcarrière van vijf gevechten. Hij was 19-0 toen hij in november botste met Edwin Rodriguez 2015. In een wipgevecht met vijf knockdowns, Rodriguez schakelde Seals uit in de derde ronde van een Fight of the Year-mededinger. Seals is 3-1 sinds de strijd tegen Rodriguez, het enige verlies via diskwalificatie nadat hij zijn tegenstander had geraakt terwijl hij op de grond lag. De winnaar van dit niet te missen actiegevecht maakt kans op een mogelijke wereldtitel.

“Ik ben erg opgewonden dat ik heb getekend bij Top Rank, een organisatie van wereldklasse met de beste lichte zwaargewichten ter wereld,'Zei Barrera. “Ik ben enthousiast over de toekomst, maar de eerste stap is om zaken te doen in juni 8 en dan kan ik uitkijken naar een kans op een wereldtitel. Mijn ultieme doel is Sergey Kovalev. Ik heb hem mijn hele carrière achterna gezeten. Hopelijk, we kunnen dit jaar eindelijk vechten. "

“Dit betekent alles voor mij. Ik had een geweldige kans met Edwin Rodriguez, maar ik ging dat gevecht aan met een gescheurde rotatormanchet. Ik vocht eigenlijk met alleen mijn rechterhand,” Zeehonden zeiden. “Nu, Ik ben 100 procent gezond. Dit is mijn tijd. Barrera had zijn tijd. Ik voel me goed. Ik voel me scherp. Ik voel me jong. Ik heb zoveel opgeofferd en heb veel tijd gehad om na te denken over de beslissingen die ik heb genomen en alle ontberingen die ik heb meegemaakt. Op juni 8, Ik ga al mijn frustratie op Barrera loslaten. Ik wil niets wegnemen van Barrera. Hij is een vechter van wereldklasse, maar ik ook. "

Vasquez, who is ranked in the top 15 at flyweight, is knocking at the door of a big opportunity. Sandoval has quickly earned a name for himself at the super flyweight division as well. A win for either will surely present bigger opportunities.

 

 

 

 

An exciting undercard will supplement Vasquez vs. Sandoval on May 4th.

 

 

 

 

Carson City lightweight Diego Elizondo (2-0) and Reno’s rising star Ricardo “The Dreamer” Lucio-Galvan (2-0, 2 KO), a featherweight, will both be returning to the ring that evening in separate bouts.
