December 10, 2020 FNU47 Szólj hozzá!

Live Dec. 18^th on pay-per-view from Galveston, Texas

GALVESTON, Texas (November 30, 2020) -- There is a Texas showdown coming December 18^th called the “Battle of Rio Grande,” in which undefeated, former world super middleweight championGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (40-0, 26 KO) challenges North American Boxing Federation (NSBS) félnehézsúlyúAlfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-3, 25 KO), live on pay per view from Galveston Island Convention Center in Galveston, Texas.

“Battle of Rio Grande” will be available for live viewing on digital, cable and satellite, kezdődően 8 p.m. ÉS / 5 p.m. PT, on pay per view for a suggested retail price of only $24.99. FITE will stream worldwide on the FITE mobile apps, all major OTT apps and website (www.FITE.tv), and Integrated Sports Media will distribute throughout North America via DirecTV, iN Demand, and DISH in the United States, as well as in Canada on Shaw and SaskTel.

The main event fighters, Ramirez and Lopez, are co-promoters of “Battle of Rio Grande” under their promotional company names, illetőleg, Zurdo Promotions and El Tigre Promotions.

Ramirez, 29, became the first Mexican super middleweight champion of the world in 2016 with a 12-round unanimous decision over World Boxing Organization (WBO) bajnokArthur Abraham (44-4). The multi-gifted southpaw “Zurdo” (means lefthanded in English) from Mazatlán, Mexikó, went on to make five successful title defences, including three against unbeaten challengersJesse Hart (25-0), Habif Ahmed (25-0-1), ésRoamer Alexis Angulo (23-0).

Ramirez moved up to light heavyweight for his last fight a year ago, when he stopped 29-6-1Tommy Karpency in four rounds, after which Ramirez became a promotional free agent. “Battle of Rio Grande” is his first event as a promoter.

“Promoting is not an easy job,” Ramirez said, “but I have good people behind me. They’ve got my back and we work very well together. I was world champion and now I’m a promoter; I see the big picture. I don’t want to be fighting forever. I started my own promotional company so that when I retire, I will have a good life after boxing. There’s no stress on me as a promoter, the stress is on my team.”

The 6’ 3” Ramirez is a physical specimen who can dunk a basketball and could easily have been a pro athlete in a different sport like football. He follows business trends and by[opening his own promotional company, he’s taking advantages of the new era of boxing, in which he plans to aid fellow boxers, particularly Mexicans, by giving them a larger platform to display their skills.

Working with his opponent in terms of promoting “Battle of Rio Grande” is a sign of two fighters taking control of their careers, as well as being completely independent rather than under a promoter, although Lopez has been promoting in Texas for several years.

“We’ll work together but, a gyűrű, he wants my 40-0 Ramirez noted. “I know he’s been training a lot, so he’s going to be faster and stronger, which is good for me because I like fighting good fighters. Everybody wants to take my record, but I’m training (In Santa Monica, ILYEN AS) like the champion I am to give fans a good fight. He’s going to bring everything he has into the ring. I expect a good fight. It’s a big opportunity for him. I am fully focused on him because I want the opportunity to be world champion again.”

Lopez will be riding a 10-fight win streak into the ring Dec. 18^th versus Ramirez in the 12-round main event. His most recent fight was 13 hónapokkal ezelőtt, when he won a 10-round decision over 19-9-1Denis Grachev in Lopez’ first defense of the NABF title he captured in his previous fight with a fourth-round stoppage of 21-3Alex Theran.

Ramirez isn’t looking past Lopez for future fights against world light heavyweight champions Artur Beterbiev (WBC & IBF) Dmitrij Bivol (WBA), because he knows and respects Lopez. The media and public, általában, underappreciated Lopez and some have taken cheap shots at him in social media.

“Maybe a little but it’s not a big deal,” Lopez responded to being asked if he was undervalued. “I’ve always said that in this busines, everybody has the opportunity to be seen. Gilberto’s beaten quality guys and he’s a world champion. I’ve promoted myself, mostly in Texas, and I’m well respected within the industry. If they really want to see who Gilberto is fighting, tune in, and then make decisions at the end of the fight and maybe they’ll change their mind. Otherwise, they should keep their opinions to themselves instead of reading about me on social media or matching up who we’ve fought.”

Ramirez has a marquee name, and he represents a career-changing opportunity for Lopez, who has captured four titles, including the NABF crown he’ll be defending. Több, “El Tigre” holds victories over solid opponents other than Grachev and Theran, such asDyah Davis ésRubin Williams, és a 2011 Lopez extendedKelly Pavlik the distance in a loss by way of a 10-round majority decision.

Lopez isn’t fighting Ramirez simply for a payday, to the contrary. “Nobody walks into the ring thinking they’re just happy to be there,” Lopez explained. “This fight will establish me as a world-class fighter. I feel that the winner will be the best in our division and the guys walking around with their belts should fight the winner. Gilberto is a great fighter who has a lot of experience as a world champion. He has physical attributes that him difficult to fight. He’s strong and always in great condition. I need to be intelligent, able to read him, and in great shape.

“The fight will be about adjustments. We’ve both been in this game a long time and at this high level of boxing, you need to be smart and strategic, but both of us being Mexican, it could turn into a brawl at any time. People will see why nobody wants to fight either of us. I’m excited and I know he is, too. Boxing fans don’t want to miss it!"

World-rated heavyweightMichael “The Bounty” Hunter will face veteranChauncy “Hillyard Hammer” Welliver (57-13-5, 23 KO), the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Continental Americas champion, in the 10-round co-featured event.

Card változhatnak.

Sam Clarkson Jr. Squares off Against Israel Duffus for Ring Of Hope’s “Night To Fight” on March 7 in Irving TX

Március 7, 2020 FNU47 Szólj hozzá!

**IRVINE, TX (Március 4, 2020)** – Fort Worth born-and-bred boxer Sam Clarkson Jr. was highly motivated by the wrong forces growing up. He was heading down dangerous Dallas roads, ones that could potentially not only derail his life, but spoil his boxing talents as well.

Before the Cedar HIll native found the sweet science at the age of 17, he was already going in and out of jail.

Reflecting on his regressions today, Clarkson Jr. is not proud of his decisions, but he doesn’t regret them either because it made him the stronger.

Non-profit organization Ring Of Hope was created in 2010 to help kids like Clarkson Jr. in the greater Dallas area escape trouble. Over the last decade, Ring Of Hope has transformed communities and changed the lives of the youth by educating, empowering and engaging students through the fundamentals of boxing.

Clarkson Jr. is proof of the promise that Ring Of Hope presents. He embodies the organization’s mission , és most, Clarkson Jr. (22-5, 15 KO) will headline Ring Of Hope’s ninth annual “Night To Fight” on Saturday, Március 7 when he takes on the Freddie Roach-trained Israel Duffus (19-6, 16 KO) at the Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas.

“It’s truly a huge blessing to headline Ring of Hope’s event,” said Clarkson Jr. “It’s great to see how Ring of Hope opens its doors to everyone and people of all different backgrounds. I want to become a part of a movement to show kids who may have troubled backgrounds that boxing accepts you no matter who you are.”

The light heavyweight Clarkson is a nine-year veteran who’s defeated the likes of Cedric Agnew and also challenged Dmitry Bivol and Jesse Hart in the past.

Before the 29-year-old southpaw appeared multiple times under the bright lights of Showtime television, he racked up an amateur record of 89-9 and won the National Pals in 2009 and the Ringside silver medal in 2010. Clarkson is also a two-time Texas Golden Gloves champion.

“I was a firecracker always up for a fight,” said Clarkson Jr. “I turned a negative into a positive. When I got introduced to boxing, it was mine, and I have stayed out of trouble for the last 13 év. Boxing has changed my life. For kids who are like me when I was growing up, if you have the right passion, there are no limitations to who you can become.”

Clarkson Jr. has frequented Ring of Hope gyms ever since its inception, whether it be for sparring, reconnecting with coaches and old friends or simply speaking and guiding children.

“A lot of the kids at Ring of Hope look up to me because I am a professional boxer. It feels great to motivate them,” said Clarkson Jr. “Ring of Hope is a great platform to help kids escape the streets. I take my hat off to them.

“I’ve returned to my comfort zone with spirituality. I’ve been reading the Bible a lot more and believe that God will set-up everything for me as a family man and a provider. I’ve fallen short a lot in the past, but ever since I’ve refocused my career, everything is falling back into place. Izgatott vagyok, and I can’t wait to put on a great show. Everyone will be pleased to see my skills. I’ll be coming to make a statement. I’m coming with a chip on my shoulder and I’m looking to dominate.”

Clarkson Jr. will attempt to conquer the Panamanian pugilist Duffus, a 27-year-old who’s been training with the Hall of Fame coach Roach at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles ever since he permanently moved to the United States in 2014.

“The last few years have been rough for me. I split with my wife, and we have two very young children. The last thing on my mind in the middle of the storm was boxing,” said Duffus. “My personal issues were affecting me, but I’m doing better now, and I’m focused on putting my career back on track.”

Duffus was riding an eight-fight winning from 2017 és 2018 before his problems outside of the ring took over. He lost his next two fights by unanimous decision. Finally in a better place, he’s looking to bounce back versus Clarkson Jr.

“Freddie has a lot of confidence in me and my talent,” said Duffus, who also has an amateur record of 98-10. “He tells me exactly what I need to do to take advantage of my opponent, and that’s what I plan on doing March 7.”

Also to be featured in separate bouts are welterweights **Jessy Martinez** (14-0, 9 KO) és **Brandyn Lynch** (10-1, 8 KO), cirkálósúlyú **Robin Safar** (10-0, 7 KO) and heavyweight Patrick Mailata (4-0, 2 KO), Austin-based super lightweight **Robert Kevin Garcia** (6-0, 5 KO) and the Corpus Christi-based lightweight **John Rincon** (4-0, 2 KO).

Night To Fight will be available live on Integrated Sports Pay Per View on cable, satellite and digital pay-per-view via **iN Demand**, **Vubiquity**, **DIRECTV** és **DISH** az Amerikai Egyesült Államokban, **Shaw PPV** in Canada and worldwide via the FITE.TV alkalmazás és webhely.

Hall of Fame Showtime TV broadcaster **Al Bernstein**, former two-division world champion **Paulie Malignaggi** and LA Times and Boxing Scene journalist and writerManouk Akopyan will call the action from ringside.

Darius Fulghum, a houstoni nehézsúlyú ökölvívó visszatartja az ápolói karriert az olimpiai álom megvalósítása érdekében

Február 28, 2020 FNU47 Szólj hozzá!

Colorado Springsben, Öl. (Február 26, 2020) - Az amatőr ökölvívók gyakran különböző utakat választanak személyes útjaikon és Houston nehézsúlybanDarius Fulghum karrierjét a ringen kívülre tette, hogy bokszálmait megvalósítsa.

Fulghum a középiskolában volt birkózó még Killeen-ben, Texas. Bokszolni kezdett 2015 és gyorsan kialakult rajongása az „Édes tudomány,”Nagyrészt azért, mert egyszemélyes sport. Nem kellett támaszkodnia a csapattársakra, inkább saját akaratából nyer vagy veszít. Bár elég tehetséges volt ahhoz, hogy kollégista birkózó legyen, túl nagy anyagi megterhelést okozott volna a családjának.

„Ez a verseny viszketésem volt, és nagyon jó voltam, amikor először elkezdtem bokszolni,- mondta Dariuis. - Tudtam, hogy bármit megtehetek, amire csak rá gondoltam. Újra szeretném definiálni a bokszot. Nem vagyok egy tipikus ökölvívó, aki az utcán nőtt fel. Nem is szeretek verekedni; Passzív vagyok, és soha nem folytattam utcai harcot. ”

A 23 éves Fulghum jelenleg határozott célja, hogy képviselje országát a 2020-as olimpiai játékok Tokióban. A profi boksz következik, de, most, keményen edz, hogy kvalifikálja magát az olimpián való részvételhez azáltal, hogy az amerikai kvalifikációs torna első három helyezettje közé kerül, Március 26-április 3, Buenos Airesben, Argentína. Lesz még egy „Utolsó esély” lehetőség is, ha szükséges, a világselejtezőn, Május 13-14, Párizsban, ahol az ottani három legjobb is kvalifikálja magát az olimpiára.

„Olyan nehéz nem állandóan az olimpiára gondolni,- vallja be. „Igyekszem nem túl sokat gondolkodni rajta, de az jár a fejemben, mert olimpikonról álmodoztam, és most olyan közel vagyok. Meghoztam az áldozatokat, hogy olimpikon legyek, majd életem végéig olimpikon leszek.

„Hallgatom az edzőimet. A pillanat hevében, amikor a dolgok a leginkább stresszesek, Úgy érzem, hogy a hátrányos helyzetű vagyok, és az abszolút pillanatig teljesítek. Tett-halott volt az olimpiai tárgyalásokon. Csak nem vagyok hajlandó veszíteni.

Fulgham minden bizonnyal pozitívan reagált a kísérletek nyomására, felkavaró a próbák előtti kedvencAdrian Tillman a nyitó fordulóban, majd átgurult az ellenfeleken, amíg be nem szerezte a címet.

„Az emberek nem ismertek engem,- magyarázta Fulgham. „Az esélytelen voltam, mert sok versenyen nem vettem részt, mert bent voltam (gondozás) iskola. A döntőm mindig decemberben volt (az USA állampolgáraival egyidőben). Szünetem volt a menetrendemben 2018, amikor aranyérmet nyertem az Országos Aranykesztyű Versenyen. Csak így alakult a menetrendem. Így, Nem sok tornán harcoltam, de akkor tudtam besurranni, amikor a legfontosabb volt. ”

Fulghum nemrégiben első nemzetközi tornáján vett részt a rangos bulgáriai Strandja tornán, megnyerte a két mérkőzés egyikét. A tapasztalat, bár, felbecsülhetetlen volt, esetleg karrierváltás az olimpiára való felkészülés szempontjából.

„Nem csak ez volt az első nemzetközi tornám,- jegyezte meg, „Először bokszoltam fejfedő nélkül (mint az olimpián), és idegen stílusú srácokkal küzdöttem, különböző stílusokkal. Nagy élmény volt, mert most nem vakulok be az olimpiai selejtezőbe. ”

Az USA bokszolimpiai kvalifikációs csapatának tagjai, mint Fulghum, szünetben vannak, mielőtt csapattársaival együtt visszatérnek az edzésre a Colorado Springs-i Egyesült Államok Olimpiai és Paralimpiai Képzési Központjába.

„Január 2-án jelentettem ott először, és imádom,”Fulghum megjegyezte. „Minden sportoló arról álmodozik, hogy olyan élsportolókkal készüljön edzésre, ahol nincsenek zavaró tényezők és vezető edzők. felkelek, eszik, alvás, vonat és másnap csináld meg újra. Ez az én menetrendem. ”

Fulghum ápolói diplomáját tavaly májusban szerezte meg, de most és a közeljövőben teljes mértékben az ökölvívásra koncentrál.

„Elsőként az oktatást helyeztem el, és megszereztem a diplomámat,- fejezte be Fulgham. „A bokszolás után mindig lesz ápolónőm. De arról álmodoztam, hogy az iskolán keresztül végigmegyek az olimpiára. Felfüggesztettem az ökölvívást, és most oldalra tettem az ápolást, hogy mindent beleadhassak a bokszba. Nem akartam az ápolással és az ökölvívással zsonglőrködni. Így sem tudnék a legjobb lenni.

„Azt tervezem, hogy profivá válok, mert annyira szeretek bokszolni. Bokszolni kell, amikor fiatal vagyok. Minél messzebbre megyek a bokszban, és mindig ápolni fogok. "

Darius Fulgham körkörös utat járt be az életben az ápolástól az ökölvívásig. Megéri, bár, ha Tokióba kerül a Team USA részeként a 2020 Olimpia.

Kendo „Tremendo” Castaneda Floridában először, de fontos üzleti úton van

Február 28, 2020 FNU47 Szólj hozzá!

This Friday showdown vs. unbeaten NABO champion Yomar “The Magic” Alamo

LAS VEGAS (Február 27, 2020) – Undefeated super lightweightKendo “Tremendo” Castaneda (17-0, 8 KO) flew into Orlando from his native San Antonio this past Tuesday night on his first visit to Florida.

Unlike millions of people who go to Orlando for Disneyworld, bár, Castaneda’s initial look at palm trees is simply part of his business trip. Castaneda challenges North American Boxing Organization (SZOMSZÉD) bajnokYomar “The Magic” Alamo (17-0-1, 12 KO) in this Friday night’s 10-round main event, airing live on Boxeo Telemundo, kezdődően 11:30 p.m. ÉS / 8:30 p.m. PT, from Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.

Alamo vs. Castaneda is co-promoted by All-Star Boxing, which promotes Alamo and the event, and Castaneda’s promoter, Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boksz promóciók.

“It’s pretty cool here,” Castaneda shared his first impressions of Florida. “A guy working for the promoter met us at the airport to film my arrival and interview me, so it’s been a welcoming experience, and people in Florida know I’m in the house. I like it here. It’s nice and in a way, I feel like I’m at home. I’m going to put on a show for fans, I’m going to be like their Disney World. I’m ready for the big ride and to put on a great show for the people.”

Castaneda captured the vacant North American Boxing Association (Is) crown a year ago, taking a 10-round decision from previously undefeatedGilbert Venegas, Jr.(10-0), and followed that with an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over Dominican veteranEudy Berbardo (24-3).

Last October in Reno, Nevada, Castaneda stoppedStan Martyniouk (20-3) in the sixth round, after which he was installed by the World Boxing Organization as its No. 15 rated super lightweight in the world.

WBO No. 8 ranked Alamo, fighting out of Puerto Rico, is coming off the only blemish on either fighter’s pro record, fighting to a draw withAntonio Moran (24-4-1).

Alamo, 24, is the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World and FECARBOX super lightweight champion, who has made three successful NABO title defenses.

„Miután ez a harc,” Castaneda concluded, “people are going to forget this Alamo (not the famous Alamo in Castaneda’s hometown) and remember me, The Tremendous One. I expect the fight t to end in a spectacular knockout in my favor, late in the fight, because I like to punish my opponent.”
