ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (Março 16, 2016)–Este sábado noite em The Claridge Hotel in Atlantic City,Peso-pesado Quian Davis will look to stay undefeated when he takes on Corey Morley as part of an 11-bout card that is promoted by Rising Promotions and Vincent M. Gulfstream Promoções de Ponte.
No evento principal, Thomas LaManna assume Kendal Mena in a eight round welterweight bout.
Davis of nearby Mays Landing, New Jersey is not the typical fighter who has dreams of winning a world heavyweight title, but he has bigger plans to help mold the youth of the Jersey Shore area as being a role model.
To say Davis is an all-around athlete is an understatement.
The Buena High School all-time leading rusher in football, was a 48th round draft pick of the Florida Marlins and spent three years in their minor league system.
When getting the itch to play football again, Davis bagged baseball and began playing football at Hudson Valley College in upstate New York.
After a few years of figuring out his next move, Davis took up boxing.
na 6'3″e 250 lbs, Davis took up the sweet science at the age of 34.
After eight amateur fights (record of 5-3), Davis turned professional by fighting a four round draw with Willie Harvey on August 15, 2015.
Davis got into the win column with a 26 second knockout over Santario Holdbrooks on 05 de dezembro at The Claridge.
“Agora, I am getting by with my natural athletic ability. I do not know all of the ins and outs of boxing, but I have toughness and have been learning on the job,” disse Davis.
There has been a lot of improvement since I have started
In Morley, he is facing a durable guy, that has gone the distance in his first two outings.
I just know he is shorter and heavier then me. He is from Philadelphia, so that alone, I know he is a tough guy.
Davis is even more honest when it comes to his ceiling as a fighter.
My goal is to fight as long as the sport wants me. I want to have fights that will build my resume and give me the credibility to become a trainer for all athletes. I would like to instill what I know and my experiences with baseball, football and now boxing and become an all-around trainer and role model. There are people needed in the community that should be mentoring kids coming up and I feel that I can be that guy around here.
I want to thank my supporters. I am humbled that they spend their hard earned money to come see fight, and I am so appreciative of that.

I have fought in Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, The Legendary Blue Horizon and Las Vegas. I have been wanting to fight in Atlantic City for a long time and Saturday it finally happens,” said Rainone.
What makes Rainone’s career even more fascinating is that he works a full-time job overnight working for Hilton Hotels in the accounting the department.
That makes for long days, working until the early morning, getting just a few hours of sleep and then going to the gym before his overnight shift.
I have not had a day off in seven weeks, but I will be ready to go no sábado noite. I have had pretty good training and sparring. Now I am just maintaining my weight

Since turning professional in 2006, Rainone has been an instant fan favorite, and he feels he owes a lot of support to the many supporters who have stuck by him through his whole career.
Without a fan base, you don’t get fights. I will have 100 or so fans down in Atlantic City. I owe everything to them.
Rainone believes his popularity is due large in part to him being just aneveryday guyand his fans can relate to him.
I always put on a good fight, but I am relate able. After the fights, I hang out with everybody. I am humble and I show the fans how much I appreciate him.
Em sua última luta, Rainone took one of the step up fights that could have set him up for a major opportunity when he took on former junior middleweight champion Ishe Smith.
Rainone came up just short in that fight, but Rainone wanted to test himself against the former world champion.
That fight was a tall order. Ishe is the bigger man and a former world champion. I am not a junior middleweight. I tried very hard and I knew if I had won that fought, I would have been ranked in the top-ten.
Rainone is only planning to fight another couple of years and he still has the goals of every fighter, but he is taking his career fight by fight.
The goal is one fight at a time. I am excited to fight in Atlantic City. I want to fight at Barclays Center and again in Madison Square Square Garden as well fighting for a title back in Atlantic City.
I have done this the hard way throughout my career. I do not know who has done it the way I have. I have done this on my own without any alliance or any promoter and I am very proud what I have accomplished and I still have more to do.
Os bilhetes para o March 19th fight card are $50 GA, $75 Etapa (very few remaining)& $125 VIP (SOLD OUT) (Cabines de 5 available for $500SOLD OUT) and are available at RisingBoxingPromotions.com or 609-487-4444.

Las Vegas (Dezembro 18) – O “forcewas with Cuban star and newly crowned lightweight world champion Rances Barthelemy (24-0, 13 KOs) as he won a 12-round unanimous decision over Russian southpaw Denis Shafikov (36-2-1, 19 KOs) in the headlining bout of the final Premier Boxe dos Campeões (PBC) na Spike fight card of 2015. The four-fight telecast, which was supported by non-televised fights featuring some of Mayweather Promotions’ estrelas em ascensão, took place at the Pearl at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
Coming off of a luxury world tour, Floyd Mayweather returned stateside and sat ringside as promoter of tonight’s fights. The recently retired five-division world champion, who also learned today he was selected asSports Illustrated Lutador do Ano, was animated and engaged through the final bell of the evening.
O evento principal, which started off as a close toe-to-toe battle, ended in the Barthelemy’s favor as he swept the latter quarter of the bout. Shafikov controlled the beginning of the fight, staying in the pocket and throwing more powerful punches than Barthelemy as the Cuban had a difficult time adjusting to the significantly shorter, yet stronger, style of Shafikov.
The turning point of the fight occurred when a cut caused by a punch by Barthelemy opened up above Shafikov’s right eye in the eighth round. The blood began to poor furiously and referee Vic Drakulich called the ringside doctor over to inspect the cut. When the fight resumed, Barthelemy attacked the Russian’s eye and never let up for the remainder of the fight. He took advantage of the cut and coupled it with his height and reach advantage which led to a recipe for success as he is now a two-division world champion. The judges saw the bout 119-109 e 116-112 duas vezes.
There were moments where I was trapped into my style of fighting. It took me a minute to adjust to Shafikov’s style and exchange punches with him,” Disse Barthelemy. “I’m really happy with the number of punches I was able to get off.
I was really impressed with Shafiov’s warrior style. He never gave up even after getting hurt with punches that were affecting his fight. That really caught me by surprise and also that he was able to last the whole fight. The fact that he continued really says something about him as a fighter.
I’m not sure if I won the fight,” Disse Shafikov. “I’m very disappointed and I want a rematch.
The co-main event saw a bizarre ending to what was to be a cruiserweight elimination bout. Detroit southpawIsiah Thomas (15-0, 6 KOs) was winning the fight on all three judgesscorecards through round three when Russian power-puncher Murat “Ferro” Gassiev (22-0, 16 KOs) threw accidental late blows to Thomashead after the bell. The punches forced referee Jay Nady to make the tough call that the punchesdiminished the valueof Thomasability to continue. As the fight had not yet gone four rounds, unified rules state that the fight does not go to the scorecards, thus ruling it a no contest.
Chris Pearson (16-1 11 KOs), a promising super welterweight from Dayton, Ohio put his previously undefeated record on the line against fellow unbeaten Eric Walker (12-0, 6 KOs) of Plaquemine, Louisiana in the second televised bout. Walker came out strong, dominating the early rounds against Pearson, another member of the stable of rising stars from Mayweather Promotions. A wobbled Pearson persevered and attempted to turn the tide in an action-packed fifth round with a series of head shots.

The seventh round saw both fighters exchanging a brutal barrage of punches culminating with a fast-paced eighth and final round drawing a standing ovation from the crowd. The underdog Walker, who spent 13 years in Dixon Correctional Institute in Louisiana, scored a unanimous decision victory (79-71, 78-74, 80-72) winning the biggest fight of his life in front of a captivated national TV audience.

If you believe in God and work hard at what you’re doing, you’re going to succeed,” disse Walker. “Look at me now.
I had watched his previous fights and knew that my right hand would be too much for him and that I could land it anytime,” continued Walker. “My conditioning was really the difference tonight. I was in great shape and I was able to rely on that when the going got tough.

Pearson was disappointed in the decision and was left wanting a rematch.

“eu tiro meu chapéu para ele,” said Pearson. “His punches were crisp and hard. I just couldn’t get going on anything consistently. I thought it was closer than the judgesscorecards and I definitely want a rematch as soon as possible.

Na luta de abertura da noite, one of boxing’s fast rising stars, Gervonta “Único” Davis (14-0, 13 KOs) out of Baltimore put his undefeated record on the line against Mexico’s Luis Sanchez (17-5-1, 5 KOs) in a lightweight clash.

Davis, a 21-year-old protégé of Mayweather, lived up to his reputation as a budding superstar scoring a hard-fought ninth round knockout victory. Sanchez showed his toughness and resiliency as he forced Davis to fight three rounds longer than any fight of his career.Davis showed his speed and power in the eighth round as he landed an uppercut to knock down his determined opponent. In the ninth round, he threw a massive left hand to finish Sanchez, sending Mayweather to his feet in celebration.

It felt great to fight all of these rounds and get the work in,” disse Davis. “He’s a tough fighter and I learned a great deal tonight. It was a very good experience for me.
I just listened to my corner and Floyd, took my time and broke him down. I want to fight again as soon as possible for a world title.
Mayweather, who was very pleased with Davis’ atuação, sees the young undefeated fighter’s future as bright.
It’s always good to go out there and get the W,” Disse Mayweather. “Ele é jovem. He’s still learning. We’re looking forward to him being a world champion some day.
Mayweather relished in the opportunity to promote one of the final fights of the year in his hometown of Las Vegas saying, “I’m so happy we were able to showcase on national television some of the talented fighters we have at Mayweather Promotions. Ganhar ou perder, I am proud of all of them.
More importantly I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and thank for them supporting me, Mayweather Promotions and The Money Team throughout all of these years. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

WESTBURY, N.I.. (Março 9, 2015) – Invicto dos médios Antoine Douglas(16-0-1, 10 KOs) é uma das mais crescem as perspectivas do boxe. Só 23 anos, o Washington agressiva e excitante, DC, nativo fará sua 2015 estrear nesteSexta-feira, Março 13 contra o companheiro invicto Thomas LaManna (16-0, 7 KOs) no evento principal de ShoBox: A Nova Geração, viver ALTURA DE COMEÇAR (10 p.m. E/PT, atrasado na Costa Oeste).

Douglas, que é 1-0-1 em duas aparições ShoBox, está olhando para provar que ele ganhou o apelido de “Ação” quando ele enfrenta um adversário que – como ele próprio – nunca perdeu ou tocou a tela. Mais importante, ele está com o objetivo de continuar a apagar qualquer dúvida sobre seu futuro como um concorrente no 160 libras. Douglas ganhou duas seguidas desde o boxe a 10 rodada maioria empate suado com o ex-desafiante ao título mundialMichel Soro (23-1-1 indo em) último Julho 25 em ShoBox.

Aqui está o que Douglas tinha a dizer, enquanto se prepara para uma fuga 2015:

Como você diria que sua carreira está indo?
“Minha carreira está indo muito bem até agora. Estou muito satisfeito com o ritmo da minha carreira. Estou bem onde queremos estar e em posição para um grande ano.”

Nenhum dos dois foi derrubado como um profissional. Você espera que isso mude em Março 13?
“Eu realmente não esperava nada de entrar em uma luta. Eu só quero colocar em um grande show e colocar em uma grande luta. Dar tudo de mim.”

Você já enfrentou a oposição mais dura como um pro. Como você manter o foco e não olhar o passado um adversário?
“Este é o esporte do boxe e um soco pode mudar toda a luta. Qualquer lutador tem a capacidade de ferir-me para que eu não esquecer ninguém. LaManna está invicto. Ele nunca perdeu, então eu não posso olhar o passado dele. Tudo pode acontecer lá.”

O que você sabe sobre LaManna e que tipo de luta que você espera?
“Eu sei que ele é alto e tem um longo alcance. Eu realmente não sei o que esperar. Eu sei que ele tende a travar para tentar ficar em uma posição defensiva. Eu preciso tirar proveito disso, indo para a ofensiva.”

Depois que você vencer como um jovem, você se considera um sobrevivente? Será que o boxe poupar?
“Eu não me considero apenas um sobrevivente. Eu me considero um lutador. Eu tinha um monte de lutar por na minha juventude. Boxing me ajudou a passar meus problemas. Ele me forneceu instrução e disciplina. Em torno da idade de 14 Eu realmente assumiu o controle da minha vida e tornou-se um homem. Eu senti como eu precisava me tratar como um homem.

“Quando eu estava em um lar adotivo em 14, meus dois guardiões separaram e eu estava em uma posição em que eu precisava para tomar a decisão de escolher qual o caminho a seguir. Eu não estaria na posição que eu sou hoje se eu não tomar a decisão que eu fiz. Não havia pessoas ao meu redor para me apontar na direção certa, Eu estava no meu próprio. Se havia pessoas que eram favoráveis ​​a mim, Eu não estava esperando por isso. Eu estava na posição que eu estava tomando a decisão exclusivamente para mim.”

Obtendo sério aqui – sua mãe estava dentro e fora de sua vida crescendo. O que o mantém tão leal a ela depois de tudo o que você já passou por?
“Eu entendo o fato de que todo mundo passa por coisas em sua vida. É fácil dizer-lhes o que devem fazer. É preciso muito para colocar o seu orgulho de lado para ser atencioso com o que as pessoas estão passando por. Muitas pessoas colocam em primeiro lugar sobre os outros. Dei um passo para trás e percebi que tudo acontece por uma razão e olha como eu acabou hoje. Minha mãe e eu temos um ótimo relacionamento agora, porque eu era a compreensão de sua situação e não tomou qualquer coisa que ela fez de forma intencional ou pensam que ele foi direcionado para mim.”

O que você aprendeu de sua última luta ShoBox contra Soro)?. Você vê-lo como um positivo ou negativo?
“Vejo a luta com Soro como positivo. Nessa luta eu consegui descer de peso, o menor que eu estive em um tempo. Eu estava em 155 em vez de meu peso habitual de 160. Derramando os quilos realmente teve um grande impacto sobre a luta e eu percebi que eu sou um dos médios e se sentir confortável em 160.”

Que a luta Soro foi chamado um empate maioria — era que uma decepção para você? Como você aprender com isso?
“Foi uma grande decepção para mim para conseguir um empate, mas sabemos agora não ir qualquer menor do que 160. Essa é a principal coisa que aprendemos nessa luta. Não existe tal coisa como sendo muito disciplinado. As pessoas perceberam o quão magra eu era para essa luta, mas ser um lutador disciplinado eu estava determinado a fazer peso. Um monte de adversários não teria tomado essa luta, mas foi uma oportunidade que eu queria tirar proveito de. Eu pensei que era uma boa decisão no momento, mas eu aprendi uma lição valiosa.”

Você bateu o dente de um cara para fora em sua primeira luta ShoBox (Jan. 17, 2014, contra Marquis Davis) e sua mãe roubou o show em sua última aparição. O que você tem na loja para os telespectadores sobre Março 13?
“Quero dizer, Eu só estou planejando para uma grande luta. Isso é tudo que eu posso garantir. Eu não sou um para superstições [Sexta-feira The 13th]. Só posso garantir que vai ser uma grande luta.”

Qual é a sua maior força? Você está procurando o nocaute ou você acredita que você pode ir 10 rounds e obter a vitória que maneira?
“Eu acredito que posso bater para 10 rounds, mas que tudo depende do adversário. Alguns caras são fortes o suficiente que pode ir a plena 10 rounds. Eu entrar e tentar infligir a maior quantidade de danos do sino de abertura.

“Minha maior força é a minha vontade e determinação. Nunca há um momento em que eu quero desistir. Mesmo se eu me machucar no ringue, Eu não vou sucumbir ao lutador. Esses são os pensamentos que passam pela minha cabeça.”

Jerry Odom é também a este cartão e que ambos são da área de DC. Você declarou que vocês dois são como companheiros de quarto. O que significa para tê-lo no cartão com você?
“Significa muito para mim. Nós viemos de origens humildes semelhantes e para nós estarmos no mesmo cartão é histórico para nós. Nós dois têm o mesmo objetivo em comum e temos muito que estamos lutando para. Ser capaz de fazer isso em um palco tão grande no canal Showtime e provar todos os opositores erradas significa o mundo para nós. Torna-se que muito mais vale a pena e gratificante para nós, especialmente se quer chegar a vitória.”

Sua previsão?
“Prevejo uma vitória. Tenho treinado e trabalhado muito duro para isso e estou pronto para colocar em um show.”

Na co-metragem, canhoto invicto Ismael Barroso (16-0-2, 15 KOs), de El Tigre, Venezuela, vai atirar para sua 13ª vitória consecutiva, quando ele enfrenta Issouf “Vulcão” Kinda (17-2, 7 KOs), do Bronx, N.I., em um pedaço 10 rodada para o NABO título dos leves.
