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.

Rainone has a record of 24-7-1 with with five knockouts has long been a fan favorite in the Empire state, and the fight with Chalmers will fulfill a venue that has been on the 36 year-old’s bucket list.
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 på lördag natt. I have had pretty good training and sparring. Now I am just maintaining my weight
In Chalmers, he is facing a veteran who has a record of 14-12-1 med åtta knockouts. Chalmers has knocked off three undefeated fighters, but Rainone is confident that his skills and preparation will be enough to get his hand raised.
I have seen him once in person. He defeated an undefeated guy and he was very aggressive that night. I have seen other fight’s where he sits back and is a counter puncher. I prepare for anything.
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.
I sin sista match, 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.
Biljetter för March 19th fight card are $50 GA, $75 Stage (very few remaining)& $125 VIP (SOLD OUT) (Bås 5 available for $500SOLD OUT) and are available at RisingBoxingPromotions.com or 609-487-4444.

Las Vegas (December 18) – Den “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 Boxning Champions (PBC) på Spike fight card of 2015. The four-fight telecast, which was supported by non-televised fights featuring some of Mayweather Promotions’ stigande stjärnor, 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 Fighter Årets, was animated and engaged through the final bell of the evening.
Huvudevenemanget, 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 och 116-112 två gånger.
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,” Said 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,” Said 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 “Järn” 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,” Said 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.

I take my hat off to him,” sa 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.

I öppnings skjutningen av kvällen, one of boxing’s fast rising stars, Gervonta “Den rätta” 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,” sade 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 Davisperformance, sees the young undefeated fighter’s future as bright.
It’s always good to go out there and get the W,” Said Mayweather. “Han är ung. 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. Vinna eller förlora, 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.

Detta Fredag, Mars 13 vid 10 p.m. OCH/PT Från Westbury, N.Y..

WESTBURY, N.Y.. (Mars 9, 2015) – Undefeated mellanvikt Antoine Douglas(16-0-1, 10 Kos) är en av boxning snabbast stigande utsikter. Bara 23 år gammal, den aggressiva och spännande Washington, D.C., Personen kommer att göra sin 2015 debut dettaFredag, Mars 13 mot andra obesegrad Thomas Lamanna (16-0, 7 Kos) i den viktigaste händelsen i ShoBox: Den nya generationen, leva på Showtime (10 p.m. OCH/PT, fördröjd på västkusten).

Douglas, som är 1-0-1 i två ShoBox utseenden, är ute efter att bevisa att han har förtjänat moniker “Åtgärd” när han möter en motståndare som – som han själv – har aldrig förlorat eller rört duken. Viktigare, han siktar på att fortsätta att radera några tvivel om hans framtid som en utmanare på 160 pounds. Douglas har vunnit två i rad sedan boxning en hårdnackad 10-runda majoritets oavgjort med förre VM-titel utmanareMichel Soro (23-1-1 går i) sista Juli 25 på ShoBox.

Här är vad Douglas hade att säga när han förbereder sig för en utbrytning 2015:

Hur skulle du säga att din karriär går?
“Min karriär går bra än så länge. Jag är mycket nöjd med takten i min karriär. Jag är precis där vi vill vara och i läge för ett stort år.”

Varken en av er har blivit nedslagen som en professionell. Förväntar du dig att ändra på Mars 13?
“Jag verkligen inte förvänta sig något som går in i ett slagsmål. Jag vill bara sätta på en stor show och sätta på en stor kamp. Ge det mitt allt.”

Du har inför tuffare motstånd som ett proffs. Hur kan du vara fokuserad och inte titta förbi en motståndare?
“Detta är sporten av boxning och en punch kan ändra någon kamp. Varje fighter har förmågan att såra mig så jag inte förbise någon. Lamanna är obesegrat. Han har aldrig förlorat, så jag kan inte titta förbi honom. Allt kan hända där.”

Vad vet du om Lamanna och vilken typ av kamp förväntar du dig?
“Jag vet att han är lång och har en lång räckvidd. Jag vet faktiskt inte vad som väntar. Jag vet att han har en tendens att låsa upp för att försöka att bo i en defensiv position. Jag behöver för att dra nytta av detta genom att gå på offensiven.”

Efter vad du har övervinna som ung, anser du dig en överlevare? Visste boxning spara dig?
“Jag skulle inte anser mig bara en överlevande. Jag skulle kunna tänka mig en kämpe. Jag hade mycket att kämpa för i min ungdom. Boxning hjälpte mig att få igenom mina frågor. Det gav mig instruktioner och disciplin. Runt ålder 14 Jag tog verkligen kontroll över mitt liv och blev en man. Jag kände mig som jag behövde för att behandla mig som en man.

“När jag var i ett fosterhem på 14, mina två vårdnadshavare delas upp och jag var i en position där jag behövde ta ett beslut att välja vilken väg att gå ner. Jag skulle inte vara i den position jag är i dag om jag inte gjorde det beslut jag gjorde. Det fanns inte människor omkring mig att peka mig i rätt riktning, Jag var på min egen. Om det fanns människor som var positiva till mig, Jag hade inte förväntat mig det. Jag var i den position som jag gjorde beslutet enbart för mig själv.”

Getting allvarlig här – din mamma var in och ut ur ditt liv som växer upp. Vad håller dig så lojal mot henne efter allt du har gått igenom?
“Jag förstår att alla går igenom saker i livet. Det är lätt att tala om för dem vad de ska göra. Det krävs mycket för att sätta din stolthet åt sidan för att vara hänsynsfull vad människor går igenom. Alltför många människor sätta sig först över andra. Jag tog ett steg tillbaka och insåg att allt händer av en anledning och ser hur jag blev idag. Min mor och jag har en bra relation nu eftersom jag var förståelse för hennes situation och inte ta något hon gjorde avsiktligt eller tror att det var riktat mot mig.”

Vad lärde du dig från din förra ShoBox slåss kontra Soro)?. Vill du visa det som en positiv eller negativ?
“Jag ser kampen med Soro som en positiv. I denna kamp fick jag ner i vikt, det minsta jag har varit på ett tag. Jag var på 155 istället för min vanliga vikt av 160. Shedding de pounds verkligen haft en stor inverkan på kampen och jag insåg att jag är en mellanvikt och trivs vid 160.”

Att Soro kampen kallades en majoritet oavgjort — var att en besvikelse för dig? Hur lärde du dig av det?
“Det var en stor besvikelse för mig att få oavgjort, men vi vet nu att inte gå någon mindre än 160. Det är det viktigaste som vi lärt oss i denna kamp. Det är en sådan sak som att alltför disciplinerad. Folk märkte hur mager jag var för denna kamp, men att vara en disciplinerad kämpe jag var fast besluten att göra vikt. Många motståndare skulle inte ha tagit den kampen, men det var en möjlighet som jag ville dra nytta av. Jag tyckte det var ett bra beslut på tiden, men jag lärde mig en värdefull läxa.”

Du knackade en kille tand i ditt första ShoBox slagsmål (Jan. 17, 2014, kontra Marquis Davis) och din mamma stal showen i ditt sista framträdande. Vad har du i beredskap för tittare på Mars 13?
“Jag menar, Jag bara planerar för en stor kamp. Det är allt jag kan garantera. Jag är inte en för vidskepelse [Fredag Den 13: e]. Jag kan bara garantera att det kommer att bli en stor kamp.”

Vilken är din största styrka? Letar du efter knockout eller tror du att du kan gå 10 rundor och få segern på det sättet?
“Jag tror att jag kan bang för 10 rundor, men det beror på motståndaren. Vissa killar är starka nog vem som kan gå fullt ut 10 rundor. Jag går in och försöka åsamka de flesta mängden skador från öppningsklockan.

“Min största styrka är min vilja och beslutsamhet. Det finns aldrig ett ögonblick där jag vill ge upp. Även om jag får ont i ringen, Jag kommer inte att ge efter för den fighter. Det är de tankar som går igenom mitt huvud.”

Jerry Odom är också på detta kort och ni båda är från området DC. Du har sagt att ni två är som rumskamrater. Vad innebär det att ha honom på kortet med dig?
“Det betyder mycket för mig. Vi kommer från liknande anspråkslös start och för oss att vara på samma kort är historiskt för oss. Vi båda har samma gemensamma mål och vi har en hel del som vi kämpar för. Att kunna göra detta på ett sådant stor scen på SHOWTIME och bevisa alla nejsägare fel betyder världen till oss. Det gör det så mycket mer värt det och uppfylla för oss, speciellt om vi båda få segern.”

Din förutsägelse?
“Jag förutspår en seger. Jag har tränat och arbetat mycket hårt för detta och är beredd att sätta på en show.”

I co-funktionen, obesegrad Southpaw Ismael Barroso (16-0-2, 15 Kos), El Tigre, Venezuela, kommer att skjuta för hans 13: e raka seger när han möter Issouf “Volcano” Kinda (17-2, 7 Kos), av Bronx, N.Y., i en 10-runda skrot för Nabo Lightweight titel.
