Greg Cohen Promotions Congratulates Skender Halili for Winning Ring Magazine ‘Round of the Year’ za 2016

Greg Cohen Promotions wishes to congratulate their fighter, Skender Halili, one of the most exciting fighters in boxing, for winning THE RING Magazine Round of the Year 2016 for the second round of his super welterweight war against Jason Thompson.
Held on Svibanj 27 at the Seneca Niagara Resort and Casino in Niagara Falls, Njujork, the second round of Halili vs. Thompson featured three knockdowns. After an average first round, Halili (13-1, 13 Kos) went down twice in the second under heavy fire from the unexpectedly aggressive veteran Thompson (5-12-4, 4 Kos).
Međutim, in a breathtaking display of boxing’s exciting unpredictability, a dazed Halili, reeling around the ring badly hurt, somehow found the strength to launch a fight-ending right hand at 2:59.
Those thrilling three minutes have now cemented Fort Worth’s Halili and New York’s Thompson in boxing history. Watch the video OVDJE.
“To je nevjerojatan osjećaj,” said Halili. “I found out right before my last fight, so i was trying to forget about it and stay focused. I saw the names I was up against, and it was guys like Keith Thurman and Sean Porter. That shocked me because their fight was great. Every round was great.
26-year-old Halili says a lot of the credit for the classic brawl goes to Thompson.
“Sam mu dati kredit. He came in with a game plan. U prvom krugu, I thought I could out-jab him all day, but he stayed calm and got me to make mistakes. He took me out of my plan and that’s why it became a war. Thompson is smart fighter and his record is very deceiving. He made me realize you can’t judge anyone by their record. Ali na kraju, he didn’t know I could also be the bull.
Skender has the type of power and the level of heart that can lead to fights like this,” rekao je Greg Cohen promotor. “We are very proud to be working with him and he’s never let us down. Almost all of his fights turn into crowd-pleasing wars and he always finds a way to win in the end. This fight was just the perfect example of the kind of excitement he brings.

Entering the late stages of a competitive, action-packed fight with a vacant 135-pound world title at stake, Robert Uskrs Jr.. and Richard Commey upped the ante in a thrilling three minutes that brought out the best in both men.
After Commey gained a questionable knockdown of Easter in the eighth round of their Rujan 9 bout at Santander Arena in Reading, Pennsylvania, there was complete uncertainty to which fighter had the edge on the judges’ bodovima.
With a date with greatness up for grabs, Robert Uskrs Jr.. a Richard Commey wasted no time going back at it in Round 9, which the staff of Premier Boxing Champions has selected as PBC’s Round of the Year for 2016.
Easter-Commey beat out three other worthy candidates: Krug 9 od Keith Thurman vs Shawn Porter, Krug 2 od Leo Santa Cruz vs Carl Frampton and Round 4 od Adonis Stevenson vs Thomas Williams Jr. It was a closely contested round, with two of the judges siding with Easter and and one giving Commey the nod, which factored into Easter winning a split decision.
Samo 10 seconds into Round 9, Easter and Commey moved into close quarters, exchanging heavy blows with both hands for nearly 30 seconds with little pause.
The fighters backed off nearly a minute in as they regrouped from the heated exchange and resumed a more measured approach working primarily with their jabs.
Commey, međutim, quickly ramped the action back up about 90 seconds into the round as the Ghana native began to let loose with his right hand coming behind the jab.
With a minute left in the round and a partisan crowd filled with family and friends from his hometown of Toledo, Ohio, rooting him on, Easter appeared to gain the upper hand as he pinned Commey against the ropes and landed a couple of solid rights during a flurry of punches.
After escaping the barrage, iako, it was Commey’s turn to return fire as he landed a couple of rights before Easter responded with a head-turning left hook.
In the final 25 sekundi, both fighters again exchanged rapid-fire blows before backing off just before the bell so that not only they could catch their breath, but that everyone watching could as well.
