Mike Lee Breaks Rib in 1st round and despite not being able to breathe, defeats Jose Hernandez to claim NABO Light Heavyweight title

Chicago, Illinois (Junie 9, 2018) -WBO number-3 ranked light heavyweight contender Mike Lee Broke his rib in the 1st round, but still claimed the NABO Light Heavyweight title with a 10-round unanimous decision over Jose Hernandez at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.

 

 

 

Lee pressed the action as he looked to land power shots early. Hernandez fought gamely, but Lee was consistent with his right and left hands.

 

 

 

Lee showed incredible heart, as in round one, he suffered a broken rib and had trouble breathing throughout the whole ten round fight.

 

 

 

Hernandez was cut from Lee’s work, and the Notre Dame graduate cruised home with the victory by scores of 97-93 on all judges’ cards.

 

 

 

Met die oorwinning, Lee remains perfect with a record of 21-0, and will now look to face any of the world champions in either the light heavyweight or super middleweight divisions.

 

 

 

I came out wanting the knockout,” sê Lee. “I give credit to Jose, he was tough. I got a little excited early, and I was a little sloppy. In die begin, I was just throwing power shots, I wasn’t double jabbing and using my athletic ability. Every fight is a learning lesson, and tonight I had to bite down and get the win.

 

 

 

Met die oorwinning, Lee will now look to challenge any of the champions and big names in and around his weight class.

 

 

 

Let’s go. I want a shot at the world title. Whether it is at 168 pounds or 175 pond, I am just waiting on a phone call. We wanted to fight Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., but I don’t know what happened with that. I just want someone with the belt.

Hall of Fame broadcaster Barry Tompkins chimes in on world-ranked light heavyweight Mike Lee

Lee takes on Jose Hernandez Vrydag night at The Allstate Arena in Chicago and Live on

CBS Sports Network (9 PM ET)

Chicago, Illinois (Junie 4, 2018) -When WBO number-3 ranked light heavyweight contender Mike Lee (20-0, 11 Uitklophoue) neem op Jose Hernandez (19-3-1, 9 Uitklophoue) this Friday night by The Allstate Arena in Chicago. The card will be broadcast live on CBS Spots Network (9 PM ET) with an all-star announce team of International Boxing Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins and renowned Teddy Atlas.

 

 

 

Tompkins, who has been calling the biggest fights in the world for nearly 40 jaar, has seen his share of fighters, but not many with the versatility of a fighter who could be speaking to corporate America one day, and competing at a championship level in the ring…. the very next day.

 

 

 

This fight will be a nice little test for Lee. This is something that he has been striving for a long time, and I will be happy to see him get that chance that he has been wanting. It is a real opportunity for him to show himself as one of the great fighters around,” said Tompkins.

 

 

 

Lee, who is one of a real select few that is able to give motivational speeches to Fortunate-500 companies, is a national spokesperson for major cooperation’s, and be a world class fighter all wrapped up in one.

 

 

 

Lee, who is holds a finance degree from Notre Dame, spends time and money for kids diagnosed with terminal cancer, so he is always fighting for a higher cause

 

 

 

He is a very sellable guy whether he fights or not, and that’s the thing. He has the opportunity to be a real spokesman, not only for himself but for the sport of boxing in general. He is that in general He can really fill a room and he is excellent at dealing with all walks of life and all generations of people. I haven’t been around too many that can do that. “Sugar” Ray Leonard comes to mind who can do that. Leonard has a very galvanizing personality, and Mike has a lot of that in him. He is very good spokesperson for the sport.

 

 

 

With a win on Friday night, Lee could be just a fight or two away for fighting for a coveted world championship.

 

 

 

I know that is something he has looked forward to. I am in favor of him getting an opportunity. His record says that he is worthy of an opportunity.

FNU Gevegsport Wys: Quitters Never Win

This broadcast of the FNU Combat Sports Show starts off with one of the most controversial stories of the week. Many sports pundits are quick to ridicule Guillermo Rigondeaux for bowing out of his blockbuster boxing match with Vasyl Lomachenko last Saturday. ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith wasted no time during the broadcast, ripping into the Cuban boxer for refusing to come out for the seventh round of the one-sided fight. Teddy Atlas, exiled from his ringside reporting duties thanks to his outspoken views on boxing corruption and his abrasive treatment of lesser-experienced commentators, came to Rigo’s defense. Atlas argued with Smith from his own home studio, basically explaining that everyone is human. Tom, Tony and Rich all offer their own takes on the situation and their thoughts on the “veg.”

We also track the latest news in combat sports, recap the past week’s events and preview competing UFC and Bellator events this Saturday. We even touch on the multiple story lines involving Floyd Mayweather Jr. that are making the rounds in the sports media this week. “Geld” claims he can make up to a billion dollars if he goes into the UFC for a three or four fight deal. Wel, Sterkte, Floyd. I hear CM Punk wants another fight.

Listen to the two part broadcast below.

Steamrolling Through the Super Middleweight Division in Record Time, ‘Boxing ProdigyDavid Benavidez ‘Determined and Readyfor Whatever Comes Next

He was billed from the first day of his career as aboxing prodigy,” but not even David “Die Rooi Vlag” Benavidez himself could have predicted his meteoric rise through the boxing ranks.
Despite having had just 31 boxing matches in his entire life, amateur en professionele, 19-year-old Benavidez (16-0, 15 Uitklophoue), is already the undefeated WBA #10 super middleweight in the world and a sure lock on 2016 “Prospect of the Year.The young phenom from Phoenix has been nearly flawless tearing through his ever-escalating level of opponents (his last four had combined records of 62-7), while being labeled a potential superstar by world-famous trainer/commentator Teddy Atlas.
Last Friday night at the 2300 Arena in Suid-Philadelphia, Benavidez wore down and stopped capable veteran Denis Douglin (20-5, 13 Uitklophoue) in the tenth and final round of their ESPN-televised main event.
It feels amazing to be in this position,” said Benavidez, “everything that has happened wasn’t expected, but we worked hard to get to this point and I feel like I just have to keep working hard, stay in the gym and stay determined and dedicated. I want to be ready for any opportunity that comes up.
Benavidez, who appears ready to reach a dream and smash the record for youngest super middleweight champion in history (Darrin Van Horn was 22), attributes his natural sense of space in the ring as a big reason for his success.
I feel like it’s a mix between distance and power in the ring. I know how to control it with the jab and there’s power behind my punches, so I’m are able to get dudes out of there.
To be honest I didn’t expect this to happen this soon,” said father/trainer Jose Benavidez. “It’s a dream come true for me to have my sons as two of the best in the world.David’s brother, Jose Jr., is the undefeated former interim WBA junior welterweight champion.
Today we went to eat and we were talking about how fast things were happening. We just have to be ready for big opportunities to show up. We’ve got to keep working and stay focused. David knows big challenges are coming, so we have to be ready. I tell him ‘you’re only 19 and people are already talking about you. Keep working hard and make your sacrifices now, so they pay off later. David understands that.
Both Benavidez credit promoter Sampson Lewkowicz for helping make their miraculous run through the division a reality. “He’s done everything he said he would,” said David. “He says I’ll be back in December against another veteran with good experience. Ek sal gereed wees.”

Provodnikov soek wraak in 2016 Provodnikov inferno wil nog 'n kraak op “Brandweerman” Bradley

Siberië, Rusland (November 12, 2015)– Na sy dominante vertoning die afgelopeSaterdag toe hy voorheen gestop onoorwonne Jesus Alvarez Rodriguez, voormalige WBO junior kampioen welterweight, Roeslan Provodnikov gereed is vir 'n groot 2016 as hy gerig op die beste vegters op junior weltergewig & weltergewig.
Op die top van sy lys is WBO-kampioen Welterweight, Timothy Bradley.
Provodnikov gestop Rodriguez in 4 rondes in die belangrikste gebeurtenis op die 7ste Edition Monte Carlo-Boxing Bonanza Nag van Kampioene en is op soek na die grootste vis te braai as hy begin met die nuwe jaar.

Die stryd was sy eerste vaart met 'n nuwe afrigter Joel Diaz.

“Dit was 'n goeie oorwinning vir my. Ek het vertroue en my verdediging reeds beter voel. Ek weet dat in die volgende kamp sal dinge bymekaar kom vir my en opleiding Joel se. My doelwit vir volgende jaar is om my verliese aan Lucas Matthysse wreek, Mauricio Herrera, Timothy Bradley en Chris Algieri!”, Said Provodnikov.

Said Diaz, “Dit was 'n stryd om hom terug te kry na die taai gevegte. We had a strategy of working on defense and body punches. He did a little more of that then he did in previous fights. It will take a couple of fights to get him to where I want.
“Na afloop van die stryd het hy gesê hy wou sy verliese te Matthysse verlos, Bradley en Herrera. Ek hou van wat, en daar is ander teenstanders soos Danny Garcia. That would be a great fight because they are both heavy hitters.
Maar Bradley is aan die bokant van die lys as 'n rematch van die 2013 Stryd van die Jaar en sou die mees gesogte stryd vir die boks fans wees.
Bradley, wat opgelei is vir twee dekades onder Diaz, ook gewen het Saterdag soos hy gestop Brandon Rios in 9 rondes onder die leiding van die nuwe afrigter Teddy Atlas.
“Teddy is 'n groot motiveerder, en hy bring 'n baie energie om die hoek.”
Een van die onvergeetlike oomblikke van Saterdag se Bradley – Rios ontmoeting was 'n begeesterde Atlas tirade waar hy vergelyk Bradley om 'n brandweerman.
“Wel, as Bradley is 'n brandweerman, dit is Roeslan dat die inferno bring aan die stryd. If they rematch it would be a tough fight. After the first fight, almal weet dat Bradley is vers van die bout. Bradley was damaged and in a rematch, dit is wat Bradley sou dink oor, en hy sal nie gefokus. Ruslan would take the initiative and knock him out
“Roeslan het groot. The collaboration between Ruslan and Joel Diaz is going well,” gesê Provodnikov se promotor Artie Pelullo.
“Dit oorwinning stel alles vir 'n groot 2016. He indicated to me that he wants to avenge his losses and also seek the biggest fights. I think he is in prime position to do just that. I expect to have him in a big fight in the first quarter of 2016. “
