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 (Xuño 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.

 

 

 

Coa vitoria, 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,” dixo Lee. “I give credit to Jose, he was tough. I got a little excited early, and I was a little sloppy. A principios, 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.

 

 

 

Coa vitoria, 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 libras, 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 este venres night at The Allstate Arena in Chicago and Live on

CBS Sports Network (9 PM ET)

Chicago, Illinois (Xuño 4, 2018) -When WBO number-3 ranked light heavyweight contender Mike Lee (20-0, 11 Kos) asume Jose Hernandez (19-3-1, 9 Kos) this Friday night en The Allstate Arena en 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 anos, 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.

 

 

 

Sotavento, 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.

 

 

 

Sotavento, 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. “Azucre” 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 Combate Sports Concerto: Anthony Joshua’s Potential UFC Contract, Parker vs. Joshua Boxing Preview and Other Combat Sports News

Esta semana no FNU Combat Sports Sports, Ton, Tony and Rich discuss a wide range of topics. We even touch on a little WWE news at the end of the show. We begin with discussions about Anthony Joshua possibly signing to fight under the UFC Boxing banner and move on later in the show to preview his fight against Joseph Parker this weekend. We also cover the temporary suspension of Canelo Alvarez and the involvement of Mark Burnett in the new Professional Fighters League. Listen to the full show in the player below:

 

 

FNU Combate Sports Concerto: 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. Ton, Tony and Rich all offer their own takes on the situation and their thoughts on thefight.

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. “Diñeiro” claims he can make up to a billion dollars if he goes into the UFC for a three or four fight deal. Ben, good luck, 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 “O Red Flag” Benavidez himself could have predicted his meteoric rise through the boxing ranks.
Despite having had just 31 boxing matches in his entire life, afeccionado e profesional, 19-year-old Benavidez (16-0, 15 Kos), 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 Área no sur de Filadelfia, Benavidez wore down and stopped capable veteran Denis Douglin (20-5, 13 Kos) 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. Eu vou estar preparado.”

Provodnikov busca vinganza en 2016 Provodnikov inferno quere outra rachadura en “Bombeiro” Bradley

Siberia, Rusia (Novembro 12, 2015)– Despois da súa actuación dominante pasadoSábado Cando deixou previamente invicto Xesús Álvarez Rodríguez, o ex-campión dos medios WBO Júnior, Ruslan Provodnikov Está preparado para unha enorme 2016 como el ten como obxectivo os mellores loitadores do welterweight Júnior & welterweight.
Na parte superior da súa lista é campión WBO Welterweight, Timothy Bradley.
Provodnikov parou Rodríguez 4 roldas no evento principal no 7ª Edición Monte-Carlo Boxeo Bonanza Night of Champions e está a buscar o maior peixe para fritir como embárcase no novo ano.

A loita foi a súa viaxe inaugural con novo adestrador Joel Díaz.

“Esta foi unha boa vitoria para min. Sentinme confiado e miña defensa xa se sentía mellor. Sei que o próximo campamento cousas van reunirse para min e para a formación de Joel. O meu obxectivo para o próximo ano é a vingar miñas perdas para Lucas Matthysse, Mauricio Herrera, Timothy Bradley e Chris Algieri!”, Dixo Provodnikov.

Dixo Díaz, “Esta foi unha loita para recuperan-lo despois das loitas difíciles. 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.
“Tras a loita, el dixo que quería rescatar as súas perdas para Matthysse, Bradley e Herrera. Me gusta diso, e hai outros opositores, como Danny Garcia. That would be a great fight because they are both heavy hitters.
Pero Bradley está arriba na lista como unha reedición da 2013 Loita do Ano e sería a loita máis desexable para os fans de boxeo.
Bradley, que foi adestrado por dúas décadas baixo Díaz, tamén gañou o sábado cando deixou en Brandon Ríos 9 roldas baixo a dirección do novo adestrador Teddy Atlas.
“Teddy é un gran motivador, e trae unha chea de enerxía para o canto.”
Un dos momentos memorables de Sábado Bradley – Ríos encontro foi unha tirada espirituosa Atlas onde estaba comparando Bradley para un bombeiro.
“Ben, se Bradley é un bombeiro, é Ruslan que trae o inferno para a loita. If they rematch it would be a tough fight. After the first fight, todo o mundo sabe que Bradley foi marcado desde o ataque. Bradley was damaged and in a rematch, que é o que Bradley estaría pensando en, e el non estaría centrado. Ruslan would take the initiative and knock him out
“Ruslan parecía óptimo. The collaboration between Ruslan and Joel Diaz is going well,” dixo o fiscal de Artie Pelullo Provodnikov.
“Esta vitoria pon todo para un gran 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. “
