Sampson Boxing Signs Welterweight Nicklaus Flaz to a Promotional Contract
Sampson Boxing proudly announces the signing of streaking welterweight prospect Nicklaus “La Bestia” Flaz to a promotional contract.

Since suffering his second career defeat, a shock first-round knockout in October 2020, Flaz (12-2, 8 KOs), from Vega Alta, Puerto Rico, has gone on a tear, scoring three impressive upset victories; knocking out an established durable veteran and taking the undefeated 0 records from two promising up-and-comers along the way.

The 28-year-old Flaz started his remarkable winning streak by scoring a majority eight-round decision over then 13-0 Brian Ceballo in October 2022. Next came another eight-round majority decision over then 10-0 Jahi Tucker in July 2023. But Flaz really got the boxing world talking last Wednesday (Março 13) by becoming the first to knock out capable veteran Luke Santamaria in the co-main event of a globally streamed ProBoxTV event in Plant City, Florida.

Santamaria had previously beaten the likes of then 22-1 Mykal Fox, former world champion Devon Alexander and held the WBC Continental Americas Welterweight Championship with a victory over former world-title challenger Abel Ramos in February 2022.

Looking like a reborn version of himself, Flaz used his power and speed to drop Santamaria three times before getting the sixth-round stoppage. Flaz, who started boxing at age 16 e ganhou 88 da sua 95 amateur fights including two consecutive national titles, says he’s finally got everything he needs in place to become a serious player in the stacked 147-lb division.

"Eu me sinto ótimo,” said Flaz of signing with Lewkowicz. “He was the promoter I wanted from the start of my career. He can take me to the next level and keep me as active as I need to be to be at my best.” Flaz adds that since losing by KO (to Janelson Bocachica), he has rededicated himself to training with head trainer David Oyola and assistant trainer/manager Belvin García in his native Puerto Rico and made tremendous gains in every aspect of his game.

The hard work was on full display against Santamaria, as Flaz dictated every aspect of the fight against a tough and well-respected veteran. “I don’t feel like boxing is a job,” said the confident Flaz. “It’s my passion and I love it. I’m ready to start climbing the rankings and get to the world championship and I have the team in place to do it.”

“Losing may have helped him,” said Lewkowicz of his latest signee Flaz. “He was over-confident, and it cost him. Now he doesn’t take anyone lightly and puts in the work it takes to become a champion. I am very happy to be part of his team and will be working hard to help him realize his boxing dreams.”

Vicente, currently residing in Panama City, Panamá, but originally hailing from Havana, Cuba, is currently ranked #10 no mundo pelo WBC. A former decorated amateur on the vaunted Cuban National Team, Vicente (17-1, 15 KOs) se tornou profissional em 2016 and has gone on to stop all but three of his professional opponents.


The 28-year-old will make his Sampson Boxing debut on Friday, Outubro 29, at the Centro de Convenciones Vasco Nunez de Balboa, Bella Vista, in his adopted home of Panama City in a 10-round showdown against Argentina’s Javier Herrera (17-4-1, 8 KOs) for the WBC Continental Americas Super Featherweight Championship.

Sampson Boxing Signs a Pair of Undefeated Dominican Prospects, Edwin De Los Santos and Luis Reynaldo Nunez, to Promotional Contracts

Deixe um comentário
Sampson Boxing proudly announces the signing of a pair of undefeated 21-year-old Dominican prospects, super featherweight Edwin De Los Santos and super bantamweight Luis Reynaldo Nunez to promotional agreements.


A crow-pleasing puncher with tremendous will, the southpaw De los Santos (9-0, 8 KOs), de santo domingo, República Dominicana, started boxing at the age of eight and went on to win numerous national amateur championships in his boxing-rich homeland. Na idade 14, he joined the Dominican’s prestigious National Boxing Team and, em 18, made the move to professional ranks. De Los Santos has already captured the WBA Fedecaribe and WBC Latino Super Featherweight Championships in his young career.


“It motivated me seeing how so many other great Dominican fighters have reached places they never dreamed of under the guidance of Sampson Boxing,” said De Los Santos of the signing. I am committed to bringing another world championship home to my country, defending it with pride and courage as many times as possible and improving the economic situation of my family.”


Also a decorated amateur in the Dominican, Puerto Plata’s Luis Reynaldo Nunez started boxing at age six and went on to win a number of national and international championships all over the world as a member of the elite Dominican national team. A fan-friendly pressure fighter with heavy hands, Nunez turned professional at 18 under the guidance of manger Antonio Tineo and trainer Vicente De La Cruz, best known as the trainer of former unified world champion Jeison (el Banana) Rosário. Nunez won the Dominican Republic Super Bantamweight Championship in 2019 and has successfully defended it once. He added the WBA Fedelatin Super Bantamweight Title in December of last year with a fourth-round stoppage of Nicaragua’s Giovanni Gutierrez. Gutierrez had previously gone the 10-round distance with top contender Mike Plania.


“I am grateful to Mr. Antonio Tineo, who is like a father to me. I’m also excited to work with Sampson Boxing and all the opportunities he wins for his fighters. I will be a proud world champion from the Dominican Republic. I also want to improve the economic situation of my family (grandparents and parents) who have given everything to me without asking for anything in return.”


A staunch advocate of Dominican boxing, Lewkowicz has expertly guided the careers of esteemed Dominican champions Jeison “Banana” Rosario, Javer “El Abejón” Fortuna, Jonathan de Guzman, Dahiana Santana and Katy Wilson Castillo. He was introduced to Tineo through his long-time Dominican talent scout Cesar “Manguita” Mercedes.


Lewkowicz says he’s looking forward to working with the two young talents and to partnering with Tineo on several more promising fighters in the future.


“I have always supported Dominican boxers and have helped several of them become world champions,” said Lewkowicz. “I thank Cesar Mercedes for introducing me to Mr. Tineo and I look forward to helping establish several more Dominican champions during our work together. Both Nunez and De Los Santos are elite-level fighters who will be contenders in their divisions in the near future.”

KOROBOV CAMP EXIGE INVESTIGAÇÃO

Deixe um comentário
Para ver a carta e as provas anexas, clique AQUI.


A equipe que representa Matvey Korobov, de peso médio com classificação nº 14 do WBC, enviou uma carta ao procurador-geral e governador da Virgínia, solicitando que eles abram uma investigação sobre o polêmico empate majoritário de Korobov no sábado passado (Maio 11) contra o lutador Immanuwel Aleem baseado na Virgínia e vários "incidentes circundantes" relevantes.




Leon Margules, advogado da equipe Korobov, enviou a carta em nome do lutador, junto com várias evidências de apoio, para o procurador-geral da Virgínia, Mark Herring, e o governador Ralph Northam.


Iniciar, Margules aponta o que ele alega ser um conflito de interesses porque os dois juízes da Virgínia, Mark D’Attilio e Brian Costello, que questionaram sobre o empate em 95-95, são membros do boxe do estado, Artes marciais, e Conselho Consultivo de Wrestling Profissional responsável por selecionar os juízes de cada luta e licenciar os lutadores.


Costello, de fato, é o presidente do conselho.


E assim, dois membros do corpo responsável por nomear os juízes de uma luta se nomearam e um árbitro relativamente inexperiente (Michelle Myers) da Virgínia para oficiar uma luta transmitida pela televisão nacional com um lutador de seu estado natal, contra Korobov, um russo morando na Flórida.


Em seguida, questiona o porquê, das três lutas televisionadas, este foi o único realizado assim, com funcionários não neutros.


A carta também faz referência ao scorecard original fornecido à mídia, que mostrou Korobov como o vencedor da decisão majoritária, bem como o mesmo scorecard 20 minutos mais tarde, com a rodada de D’Attilio 10 Pontuação de Korobov riscada e alterada de um 10 para um 9, transformando o resultado em um empate majoritário.


Outro ponto de discórdia é o desempenho de julgamento dos dois juízes da Virgínia, que marcou a luta e empate quando a vitória de Korobov foi quase universalmente aceita pela mídia de boxe e pelos fãs, pós-luta.


Para a maioria, Korobov pareceu vencer as primeiras sete rodadas com folga e machucou Aleem gravemente na sexta rodada antes de Aleem montar uma pequena recuperação nas últimas duas ou três rodadas. No sino final, Korobov tinha uma vantagem considerável em socos acertados (de acordo com as estatísticas do CompuBox, Korobov pousou 154 socos fora de 417 jogado (37%), enquanto Aleem pousou 119 tiros de 630 [19%]).


Respeitado oficial de boxe e juiz não oficial do concurso, Larry Hazard Sr., marcou a luta 97-92.


Uma longa lista de fãs nas redes sociais expressando suspeita de corrupção também está anexada.


A carta de Margules também aponta o que muitos consideram um knockdown perdido pelo Árbitro Myers na quarta rodada, quando Korobov mandou Aleem para baixo com uma contra-mão direita, apenas para ela marcar uma falta incorretamente.


A equipe Korobov disse que espera que o estado encontre uma solução para esta situação infeliz para evitar outro olho roxo para o boxe e um "efeito assustador" nos lutadores que vêm lutar na Virgínia.
