Haywood Set For Pepper Showdown On May 2nd

Champions TKO’s Jerome Haywood is set to face Scunthorpe’s Matthew Pepper on the Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott Wise Guys Promotions LORDS OF THE RING event, which takes place at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London på lørdag 2ND Maj 2015.

 

Jerome will be making his return to York Hall, the scene of his successful professional debut in October last year, where he scored a well earned points victory over Rolandas Cesna.

 

Tilbage i oktober, after a slightly hesitant start, Haywood soon settled down and took the fight to his more experienced opponent, pressuring the big Lithuanian with stiff jabs and heavy rights to the body.

 

Haywood’s work to the body began to take a toll on Cesna, so much so that by mid way through the third Cesna was clearly struggling to cope with the constant punishment to his ribs.

 

In the fourth Haywood stepped up the pressure even further, which in turn forced Cesna to cover up to protect his bruised and battered ribcage.

 

After four excellent rounds Referee Alf Sprung scored the bout 40-38 in favour of Haywood.

 

Haywood’s opponent on May 2ND is Scunthorpe’s Matthew Pepper, who will be making his first visit to the famous home of boxing in the Capital City.

 

Following a training session, under the watchful eyes of his coach Brian O’Shaughnessy at the Champions TKO gym in Hackney, Haywood spoke briefly about the upcoming showdown with Matthew Pepper.

 

“Glad to be fighting again, it’s been six months since my debut fight.

 

After my last fight, I was hoping to get out again as soon as possible and I should have, I was due to fight in March, but had to pull out of that one as I came down with a bug about a week or so before I was due to fight.

 

My first fight, yeah I enjoyed that, I was well prepared for it, he was tough but nothing I couldn’t handle.

 

I don’t know too much about Matthew (Pepper), but we’ve been working hard in the gym, so hopefully I’ll put a good performance in for my fans, who I can’t thank enough for their fantastic support.”

Turkish Prospect Ozgul Set For London Showdown With Miekle On May 2nd

 

Champions TKO Gym’s unbeaten Light Heavyweight prospect Onder Ozgul is set to make his fifth professional outing in just over a weeks time, when he takes on the highly entertaining Jody Meikle, from Scunthorpe, in a six round contest, on the Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott Wise Guys Promotions LORDS OF THE RING event at York Hall in London on Saturday 2ND Maj 2015.

Ozgul, has built quite a reputation, as a seriously tough and uncompromising boxer, over the past year or so, following top class victories over the likes of Lithuania’s Dmitrij Kalinovskij, Bighton’s Iain Jackson, Lithuania’s Remigijus Ziausys and most recently over the Czech Republic’s big punching Karel Horejsek.

With a boxing style and approach uncannily similar to that of a certain ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that Ozgul’s Turkish fans have nicknamed their man ‘Little Mike’, a name that the British fans that have seen him in action have started to adopt too.

That aside, Ozgul’s resolve could be mightily tested by Miekle, who last time out scored a good solid draw against Portsmouth bruiser Sam Couzens, no surprise there as the Lincolnshire man not only likes a good old fashioned toe-to-toe slug fest, but also has a very entertaining mischievous streak.

Speaking at the famed Champions TKO Gym in Hackney, Ozgul spoke briefly about the upcoming showdown with the man they call ‘The Entertainer’.

“I’m happy I am fighting a six rounder, I’d be happy if it was an eight, I train for twelve rounds, so six is easy for me.

 

The way we look at it is if you can run a marathon, then running a half marathon is easy, that’s why we work so hard in the gym, so it is easy in the ring.

 

My last fight I trained hard, I trained for twelve rounds then too, the opponent was strong and durable but it was still an easy fight for me.

 

It will be the same next week, I will be ready for whatever Jody Meikle brings, I’ve been told Jody is tough, good that means we’ll have a very good fight.

 

I’m really happy that my brother Siar has got a title fight on May 2ND and even happier that I will be fighting on the undercard of his title fight and hope that everyone comes out and gives us both their full support.

 

I want to thank my sponsors and all those fans that come and support me and my brother (Super Welterweight Siar Ozgul), Thank you for supporting us, maj 2ND you’ll not be disappointed, I will be fighting at my best.”

Boxing’s most avoided world champion Guillermo Rigondeaux heading to UK next month To publically confront Scott Quigg

CORK, Irland (April 12, 2015) – Unified super bantamweight world champion Regning “The Jackal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOS), arguably the most avoided reigning world title holder in modern boxing history, will travel to London next month in order to publicly confront his mandatory challenger, Scott QUIGG (30-0-2, 22 KOS), the World Boxing Association (WBA) “regelmæssig” 122-pund division titlist.

 

A month ago in an unusual move, Rigondeaux’ Direktør Gary Hyde formally petitioned the WBA to enforce a mandatory title fight between his WBA Super champion and Quigg. Hyde is awaiting the WBA’s decision. Rigondeaux is also the World Boxing Organization (WBO) og Ringen bladets super bantamvægt mester.

 

A reigning world champion hasn’t been avoided by other world champions and top contenders like Rigondeux has for the past two years since, måske, junior mellemvægt Sergio Martinez, or possibly all the way back to middleweight Mike McCallum.

 

The top three super bantamweights in the world outside of RigondeauxInternational Boxing Federation (IBF) og World Boxing Council (WBC) champions, Carl Frampton og Leo Santa Cruz, henholdsvis, plus Quigghave avoided the Cuban great like the plaque. Once Santa Cruzpromoter at the time, Oscar de la Hoya, announced that a Rigondeaux-Santa Cruz had to happen, Santa Cruz’ powerful adviser, Al HAYMON, exercised a contract option and bought him out to avoid a fight with ‘Rigo.Frampton’s promoter, Barry McGuigan, has proclaimed his fighter, not Rigondeaux, som nr. 1 super featherweight in the world. McGuigan, selv, is interested in Frampton fighting Quigg in a U.K. showdown, rather than a world mega-fight for three of the four major sanctioning world titles. As the “regelmæssig” WBA champion, Quigg is Rigondeaux’ obligatoriske udfordrer, endnu, he apparently wants no part of the two-time Olympic gold medalist because his promoter, Barry Hearn, not only hasn’t pushed the issue, he’s in negotiations with McGuigan for Frampton to fight Quigg.

 

Former world super bantamweight champions Nonito Doniare, after he lost a unification fight to Rigondeaux two years ago, og Abner Mares chose to move up one division to fight as featherweights. And now Donaire reports that his manager was contacted by a Quigg representative to discuss a Donaire-Quigg fight in England.

 

Another two-time Olympic gold medalist, WBO 126-pound champion Vasyl Lomachenko, continually insists that “Linje” has to move up in weight for a fight to happen despite him having no problems making 126.

 

“QUIGG, Santa Cruz and Frampton have showed no desire to challenge Rigondeaux,” Hyde sagde. “These three fighters are trying to fool the public into believing that fight No. 1 guy in the world is not important. While they are lining their pockets with ridiculous amounts of cash for fighting below par opponents, Rigondeaux is forced to wait around until some Asian opponent steps up. This is a sport in which we are accustomed to seeing the best fighting the best but, in the super bantamweight division, it’s the best versus the rest.

 

Rigondeaux will travel to Manchester to fight Quigg, Belfast to fight Frampton, or Las Vegas to fight Santa Cruz. None of these so-called world champions, selv, will consider fighting the acknowledged world super bantamweight champion. They’re all much more content to hold onto their belts than beating The Man in their weight class.

 

Næste måned, Hyde reports, Rigondeaux will travel to the United Kingdom in a bold attempt to embarrass Quigg into fighting him. “I don’t like traveling overseas unless I have a fight lined up,” Rigondeaux explained, “but I will travel to England in May to publicly call out Scott Quigg. If he turns down the chance to fight our WBA mandatory, he will be remembered for that instead of being known as a great fighter. While I’m in the UK, I will also go to Belfast to checkout Carl Frampton to ask if he wants to prove himself against the best in his division.

 

Understanding that the top super bantamweight action is currently in Europe, noting a record purse ($2.2 million USD) offered for a Frampton vs. Quigg fight, Rigondeaux is considering a major change in the not too distant future, moving his base from Miami to the UK, if that’s what it takes for him to get in on the action.

 

Hyde also manages former WBO middleweight champion and current International Boxing Federation (IBF) Do Not. 1 obligatoriske udfordrer Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (31-1, 18 KOS), former WBA Interim cruiserweight champion Yuri “El Toro” Kalenga (21-2, 14 KOS) and Georgian super lightweight Levan “Ulven” Ghvamichava (14-1-1, 11 KOS) , as well as top prospects such as Cuban super bantamweight Mark Skov (2-0, 2 KOS), Irish heavyweight Med Sheehan and Bulgarian light heavyweight Blagoy Naydenov.

Speight delighted to secure Home Advantage

 

 

26 year old “The Genius” Jamie Speight has a wish come true on 16th Maj 2015 when he co-headlines the massive Goodwin Boxing “Master Class” bill at York Hall defending his Southern Area Featherweight title against Ian Bailey.

 

“I am over the moon at signing with Steve Goodwin” said Jamie “With everything he has done for me so far I could not be happier. This is the first time in years I have not had to go on the road and be the away fighter and have waited to be promoted as the home fighter for so long”.

 

Speight has had an up and down career but being sent as the away fighter meant that to Speight he never had the rub of the green or the advantage given to other fighters. Only two years ago Speight took Josh Warrington the distance in Warrington’s back yard and then subsequently lost a contentious decision to Lewis Pettitt once again in the opponent’s corner.

 

Maj 2014 and Speight once again was in the opponents corner when he stopped Craig Whyatt to win this belt he is now defending but now the time has come for Speight to enjoy home advantage.

 

“I just want a fair crack of the whip and with Steve now in control of my career I know I will get that. I need to win this title as the next day I am flying with the Goodwin team to Turkey for a training camp and that needs to be a celebration.” Speight added “My aim is the British title at Featherweight and provided I keep winning Steve has promised he will deliver that to me.”

 

“This is a tough fight. Ian Bailey does not receive the credit he deserves. Like myself Ian has taken short notice fights and yet stops people with winning records. We have given him 2 months notice so he can prepare as well as myself and may the best man win.”

 

The Speight v Bailey clash is one of fire 50/50 intriguing Southern Area title fights on the bill with tre masters titles as well making this one of the best non TV shows seen in London for a long time.

 

Adam Dingsdale defends his Southern Area Lightweight title against Prizefighter finalist Michael “Chunky” Devine.

 

Philip “Quicksilver” Bowes (9-1) challenges for the Light-Welterweight version against the unbeaten former Prizefighter Champion Johnny Coyle whilst Johnny Garton makes his second defence of the Welterweight version against former English title challenger Martin Welsh.

 

The charismatic Danny Connor competes for the International Masters Lightweight title whilst Hampshire’s “Dangerous” Danny Goode fights for the Masters Super Middleweight Title. Adam Salman completes the trio of Masters title bouts when he competes for the Light Welterweight version.

 

Two of Ricky Hatton’s “Upton Clan” Paul and Anthony continue their rise to the top with 6 round contests.

 

The exciting Light Middleweight Joey Vaughan (1-0) has his first contest since signing with the Goodwin’s whilst the show sees the eagerly awaited debuts of Andrew Joicey (Weltervægt) and Mwenya Chisanga (Light-Welterweight).

 

Jamie Arlain (1-0) also has his first contest after a long year break from the sport and after signing with the Goodwin’s whilst exciting unfefeated Light-Middleweight John Cash (4-0) has a six round contest.

 

The card is completed with Ben Hall (6 runder) Dean Byrne (4 runder) and David Leo (4 runder) all facing selected opposition.

Championship Battle Headlines Wise Guys Promotions Inaugural Event On May 2nd

Eminent MMA promoter Mark Lyons has linked up with Britain’s youngest professional boxing promoter, eighteen year old Billy James-Elliott to create a new professional boxing promotions outfitWise Guys Promotions.

 

Their first event, titled LORDS OF THE RING, will take place at the famed York Hall, In Bethnal Green, London på lørdag, 2ND Maj 2015, and will be headlined by the vacant MBC International Welterweight Championship battle between Siar Ozgul and Matt Scriven.

 

Hackney based Ozgul and Nottingham’s Scriven are old foes, having fought each other as recently as October last year.

 

It was an all action, closely fought small hall classic, an enthralling, intense four rounds of toe-to-toe action, so much so that when Scriven approached both the event promoters and Ozgul’s management asking if he could be considered as Ozgul’s opponent for the title fight, all parties agreed in an instant.

 

Who wouldn’t, these two put on a magnificent display of the pugilistic arts, not too dissimilar to the classic Mickey Ward-Arturo Gatti trilogy of fights from 2002/3.

 

Control of the fight switched between the two warriors throughout, both gave their all for every second of every round, much to the appreciation of those in attendance, as was clear when the bout was voted the Fight of the Night and a clear contender for the end of year Fight of the Year accolade.

 

On that occasion it was Ozgul that rightly emerged victorious, by a 39-37 point margin, however that score line just didn’t reflect just how close each round was or give any insight in to just how thrilling the bout was.

 

Main support, for the Ozgul-Scriven Championship bout, sees Bradford’s Tasif Khan return to York Hall, the scene of his sensational first round stoppage victory over Richard Voros in January.

 

Den May 2ND Khan challenges Czech Republic’s Patrik Bartos for the International Masters Bantamweight title.

 

Adding an added element of intrigue to this particular match up, is that both Khan and Bartos have a recent opponent in common, Ladislav Miko |, what’s more both stopped Miko early in their bouts, Bartos late in the second and Khan with a sensational one minute and fifteen second of the first round knockout.

 

Heading up the support card sees Chester’s WBF Intercontinental Super Bantamweight Champion Paul Economides against Doncaster’s former British Super Flyweight Champion Andy Bell.

 

Economides comes into the bout high in confidence, following a sensational second round stoppage victory, over former Commonwealth title challenger Isaac Quaye, just last month.

 

What makes this victory so special is that Economides became the first person to stop the gutsy thirty seven fight veteran, a major feat indeed considering Quaye had previously fought the likes of British and Commonwealth Champion Don Broadhurst, British, Commonwealth and European Champion Kevin Satchell and WBO European Champion Iain Butcher.

 

Another top class match up sees Siar Ozgul’s older sibling Onder in action against Scunthorpe’s highly entertaining Jody Miekle.

 

Ozgul, who is unbeaten in four pro outings, has been building quite a reputation for himself, following top class victories over the likes of Lithuania’s Dmitrij Kalinovskij, Bighton’s Iain Jackson, Lithuania’s Remigijus Ziausys and most recently over the Czech Republic’s big punching Karel Horejsek.

 

Siar and Onder Ozgul’s Champions TKO Gym mate Jerome Haywood is set to make his second pro outing, mod Scunthorpe Matthew Pepper.

 

Haywood came through a seriously tough test on his debut, when he faced and beat the highly experienced Lithuanian bruiser Rolandas Cesna at York Hall back in October.

 

Another of the Champions TKO squad, British #1 and reigning MBC International Super Bantamweight Champion Marianne ‘Golden Girl’ Marston will be undertaking her final domestic bout, before starting her preparations for her World title challenge against Australia’s WIBA Champion Shannon O’Connell, which takes place later this summer.

 

Back in October Marston clinically beat then European #3 og Verden #31 ranked Marianna Gulyas, to secure the coveted MBC International Crown, by a shut out unanimous points margin.

 

Former BBBofC Welsh Champion Lee Churcher will be making his first visit to the famed York Hall on May 2ND, where he will face a yet to be announced opponent.

 

Churcher comes into the fight off the back of a run of five solid wins, since last losing to Costas Osben back in July 2011.

 

Sensational unbeaten Featherweight David Agadzhanyan also makes his first visit to London on May 2ND.

 

Agadzhanyan, who has three stoppage victories from his four bouts to date, won the battle of the undefeated in his last fight, taking Czech Republic’s Daniel Bazo’s coveted ‘O’ with a superb 39-37 point victory in Liverpool in March.

 

Eric Mokonzo will be looking to secure his first pro victory, following his debut loss against Darren McKenna, when he faces debut boy Andy Cona, whilst Luton’s unbeaten Manny Muhammad, who was originally due to fight Mokonzo, will now face a yet to be named opponent.

 

Den May 2ND Finsbury Park’s Mark ‘The Flash’ Alexander returns to York Hall, the scene of his magnificent third round stoppage victory over Lithuania’s Tadas Stulginkas back in October.

 

Making their pro debuts on May 2ND will be Nottingham’s Garfield Mushore and Canning Town’s Kimberley Leah.

Marston: Jeg sigter efter en stor gevinst på 2 maj - Sig O'Connell Jeg kommer efter sin titel Næste

British #1 og regerende MBC International Super-bantamvægt Champion Marianne Marston er indstillet til at vende tilbage til York Hall i Londons East End, skueplads for hendes sensationelle mesterskab sikring sejr over Marianne Gulyas slutningen af ​​sidste år, i et par uger, hvor hun vil stå over for en endnu ikke navngivet modstander på Mark Lyons & Billy Elliott forfremmet Lords of the RING begivenhed på lørdag 2ND Maj 2015.

 

Tilbage i oktober Marston aldeles domineret sag mod den daværende ungarske #1, Europæisk #3 og Verden #31 rangeret Gulyas at sikre den ledige MBC International Super-bantamvægt titel.

 

Fra start til slut var det slick britiske southpaw der tog kampen til hendes meget langt mere erfarne modstander, aggressivt fremadrettet, udnytte hendes skarpe jabs og stikkende venstreorienterede med stor effekt.

 

Gennem Marston syntes at være i stand til at hente fra hendes modstander efter behag, derved venstre Gulyas ingen anden mulighed end at forsvare på tilbagetog.

 

Under anfald, der blev udkæmpet på et hektisk tempo, Gulyas besøgte lærredet ikke mindre end syv gange, Men kun to af disse blev talt som knockdowns af dommer Alf Sprung, der viftede de andre ud som glider eller skubber.

 

Efter ti funklende runder af boksning, Dommerne Ben Doughty (UK) og Matt Hamilton (Sydafrika) scorede kampen 100-89 dommer Lee Murtagh mens (UK) scorecard læse 99-88 alle ind for Marston.

 

Den fremragende lukket ude sejr eksploderet Marston op af ranglisten, samt givet hende en World titel skud, mod regerende WIBA Champion, Australiens Shannon O'Connell, der finder sted senere på sommeren.

 

Men det er den kommende kamp, ​​som Marston fokuserer i øjeblikket på, da hun gjorde det klart, da hun talte tidligere.

 

"Jeg ser virkelig frem til at kæmpe igen, især tilbage på York Hall.

 

Det er næsten seks måneder siden, jeg vandt titlen, Jeg må indrømme, jeg håbede at være ud meget tidligere i år, men af ​​en eller anden grund, at bare ikke ske.

 

Hvis jeg havde ville jeg have enten forsvarede MBC titel eller kæmpet for WBU europæisk titel igen, men med World titel kamp kommer op denne sommer blev det besluttet, at i stedet for at alt det pres, der kommer med en titel kamp, vi ville finde en modstander med en lignende stil til Shannon (nuværende WIBA verdensmester Shannon O'Connell) at kæmpe på maj 2ND så vi kunne bruge dette som en alvorlig test af tør køre som sådan.

 

Jeg ved, at jeg vandt hver eneste runde mod Marianna (Gulyas) men hendes stil er meget forskellig fra Shannons, heldigvis selvom min vigtigste sparringspartner er Ian Napa, Ian er så erfarne og kan bokse i enhver stil, der er stor, som vi ved, kan forberede sig ordentligt til både Shannon og min maj 2ND modstander.

 

Ians strålende, at have nogen, der har været der, gjort, og har den t-shirt til at bevise det, Jeg tror helt ærligt, det er hans input til mine forberedelser, der gør hele forskellen, Jeg mener han har vundet både de britiske og europæiske titler dobbelt så godt som kæmpede for mange titler, så virkelig ved, hvad der er behov for.

 

Det hjælper også, at jeg har en stor erfarent team omkring mig, min træner Brian O'Shaughnessy virkelig har købt mig på, nu i stedet for at være mere eller mindre endimensional i min tilgang er jeg nu fuldt afrundet og kan bokse i enhver stil, selv på det forkerte ben, hvilket er noget, jeg fandt altid svært at gøre.

 

Mind dig, når du sparring folk som Ian (Napa), Sunny (Edwards) og Ian Bailey hele tiden, skal du være i stand til at tilpasse, så nogle af ros skal gå til dem også.

 

Jeg har virkelig nydt at være MBC International Champion, vinde titlen har påvirket mig på en positiv måde, kan ikke forklare det, men det er som om jeg er en anden fighter nu, måske det er bare tillid at vide, jeg kan gå ti runder med en World rangeret fighter og ikke bare holde min egen, men slå dem.

 

Nu har jeg til at bruge dette til min fordel, først jeg nødt til at slå hvem det er jeg vil kæmpe den maj 2ND og så selvfølgelig Shannon, når jeg udfordrer for hendes titel.

 

Jeg ved, jeg sagde det før, men når min karriere slutter, Jeg ønsker at blive husket som en bokser, der havde gode færdigheder, en ordentlig Champion, ikke nogen, der bare coasted gennem deres karriere.

 

Jeg vil have rigtige kampe, meningsfulde kampe, tro mig jeg ikke kigger på May 2ND bliver en varm op eller noget lignende, Jeg ønsker at gøre en enorm erklæring om maj 2ND, Jeg vil have Shannon at bekymre sig om Marianne, der vil stå over for hende denne sommer, Jeg vil have hende til at vide, jeg kommer til at tage hende titel fra hende. "

Fight rapport: DeCastro KØS Rozembergs som Wood & Smith Score Sensationel TKO Debut Sejre

Rapport: Gianluca Di Caro

Normalt er det enten en Fredag eller Lørdag nat, at jeg får min regelmæssige fix
af pugilistic handling, denne uge om det var lidt anderledes, da jeg lavede
turen fra London til Leeds søndag morgen, in order to catch the latest offering from former Irish Champion, vendte promotor, Lee Murtagh.

I betragtning af det var en Søndag eftermiddag / aften show, Jeg var mægtigt
overrasket, eller er så imponeret, at da jeg ankom til spillestedet, a good couple of hours before the advertised start time, it was already more or less full to capacity.

Må sige Leeds fans virkelig vide at nyde selv, den
atmosfære på Pryzm Nightclub var elektrisk, so no surprise that when the highly entertaining MC, Hr. Tony Dean, announced each of the boxers that the crowd vociferously showed their support, not just of the home fighters but they also made the opponents welcome too, which makes a nice change.

Hovednavn showet var lokale favorit Sam Smith, who was making her pro debut, mod Letlands Jekaterina Lecko.

Fra off både piger flyttede til tage center ring, tentatively boxing off the back of their jabs, after about twenty seconds or so Lecko decided to step it up a tad, throwing a good stiff jab immediately followed by a looping right to the head, Smith closed her guard just enough to catch the shot on her glove, før optagelse ud en lige højre, which caught the Latvian flush.

Smith lukket igen og lad rip med en stor ret til kroppen og en venstre
til hovedet, Fecko forsøgte at stå sin jorden, men Smith kom selv
stærkere tvinger den lettiske tilbage mod tovene.

Oprindeligt Fecko brugte sin jab med stor effekt for at holde Smith i skak, men
around the forty five second mark Smith slipped under the jab and let rip with a huge shot to the body, quickly followed by another to the head that shook the Latvian girl to the core.

Smith flyttede lige ind for at dræbe, kaster et væld af store skud,
leaving Fecko no option but to cover up in the hope that she could survive the onslaught.

Smith had now corralled the Latvian into the corner and began bombarding Fecko with shots from every conceivable angle, then just as Fecko straightened up Smith landed an absolute peach of a shot to the body that sent Fecko straight to the canvas.

As referee Jimmy Byrne made the count Fecko looked towards her corner and shook her head before desperately trying to make it to her feet, however clearly in distress she instantly dropped back down onto one knee, leaving Jimmy Byrne no option but to call a halt to proceedings on the seventy second mark of the first round.

Prior to Smith-Fecko Lincoln’s unbeaten big punching Middleweight Nathan Decastro, mod Letlands Elvis Rozembergs, i en seks rounder.

Decastro’s ring moniker is ‘Nightmare’ and boy oh boy I bet young Mr. Rozembergs will be having plenty of them after this fight.

DeCastro, en tidligere engelsk Amatør International, is about as clinical as they come. Right from the off the Lincolnshire lad picked his shots with precision, landing three pin-point perfect shots just with his opening salvo.

Rozembergs er vildt skønt, clearly believing that attack is the best form of defense the Latvian came straight back with a series of off target looping right hands, hver gang præsentere DeCastro med et klart mål -Rozembergs krop - for at indstille sine seværdigheder på, hvilket naturligvis han gjorde, landing seriously solid shots each time.

On about the minute mark Rozembergs tried to back Decastro up by coming in hard and fast with a double handed flurry, however Decastro side stepped before letting rip with a big right to the body, which sent Rozembourgs to the canvas.

Den lettiske var tydeligvis i nød, instantly referee Jimmy Byrne stopped the fight and called the ringside doctor and paramedics into the ring.

Efter et par minutter Rozembergs blev hjulpet på benene og som han gjorde
modtaget begejstret bifald fra anerkendende publikum.

Før DeCastro-Rozembergs var en anden pro debut, denne gang
Middlesborough Welterweight Chris Wood, mod Edgar Milevics.

Milevics ikke gjorde retfærdig bedre end både Lecko eller Rozembergs, in fact the Latvian lad was sent to the deck in the first twenty seconds,
efter Wood pitching en stor ret i hans ribben.

Milevics gjorde optællingen, but on the restart you could see his heart was no longer in the fight, electing instead to cover up in the vein hope that Wood wouldn’t land another big shot.

På omkring 50 sekunder mærke det uundgåelige skete, Wood sneaked a lovely little hook in just behind Milevics guard, causing the Latvian to bring his hands down to protect his body, which left him open to a big right to the head, which left Milevics no option but to cover up again and as he did Wood calmly threw another big left to the body, which sent Milevic down to the canvas for the second time.

Milevic just about managed to make it to his feet but referee Jimmy Byrne took one look and see how unsteady the Latvian was on his feet and rightly stopped the fight on the sixty seconds mark.

Støtte til de tre faglige anfald, were a number of European Boxing Federation (EBF) sanktionerede anfald.

Den vigtigste, for EBF International Bantamvægt Championship, see Leeds’ Sophie Varley in a rematch against Malta’s Mandy Cortis.

Cortis had come all the way from sunny Malta to a rather wet and Windy Leeds to defend the title she won last time the two met.

De første tre runder Cortis spillede vi venter på, håber, at alle
handling pige Varley ville slå sig selv ud.

Round fire var en meget mere jævn affære, with Cortis electing to take the fight to Varley, oprindeligt den maltesiske pige lander en god par skud, but Varley is as tough as they come and by about the fifty second mark wrenched control back with a fantastic display of boxing, culminating with Cortis backed onto the ropes and absorbing a seemingly never ending barrage.

Om det ene minut tredive mark var det Cortis om angreb igen, utilizing her jab to great effect to set Varley up for a combination or two, until the final ten seconds or so, som var en ren tå til tå Battle Royale.

Cortis kontrollerede størstedelen af ​​de sidste to runder, med nogle
smuk boksning, Varley stadig gav en stor højde for sig selv, bare
mængde arbejde, hun havde lagt i løbet af de tidlige runder havde næsten
drænet hende.

Det var klart, at det skulle være tæt, and it was with Varley securing the title by a very, meget tæt 58-57 point beslutning.

Resultaterne af resten af ​​EBF kortet blev:

LAS VEGAS (Marts 28, 2015) - Efter kommer tæt på VM herlighed i 2014,

Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 KOS), en tidligere USA amatør standout, leveret på sit løfte i imponerende mode Lørdag nat, knocking out defending champion Jhonny Gonzalez (57-9, 48 KOS), af Mexico City, i fjerde runde i de vigtigste tilfælde af en SHOWTIME Championship Boxing doubleheader fremmes af DiBella EntertainmentThe Pearl Theater at Palms Casino Resort.

 

I co-funktionen på SHOWTIME®, ubesejret Jermell "Iron Man" Charlo (26-0, 11 KOS) af Houston, vandt en tæt, enstemmig 10-round afgørelse i løbet af Vanerne Martirosyan(35-2-1, 21 KOS), af Glendale, Calif., i et sammenstød mellem top-fem klassificeret super welterweights. Der var ingen knockdowns i en kamp scoret 97-93 og 96-94 to gange.

 

Den talentfulde og quick-fisted southpaw Russell, der stod og udveksles med Gonzalez, udnyttede sin samlede hastighed at dominere. Han droppede veteran tre gange, gang i den tredje og to gange i fjerde før dommeren Tony Weeks viftede kampen 37 sekunder inde i runde (at se knockout klik HER).

 

"Det er den slags præstationer, jeg altid forvente, men ikke altid får,'' Sagde Russell, der mistede en nær 12-round beslutning om at Vasyl Lomachenko i hans første forsøg på 126-pund krone sidste Juni 21 på SHOWTIME. "Hvis folk bare vidste, hvor hårdt vi arbejdede for dette, den tid, vi sætter i gymnastiksalen, de mentale og fysiske ting, vi arbejder på, og sætte os igennem hver dag.

 

"Der er altid forhindringer at overvinde, men for denne kamp var jeg 100 procent. Denne gevinst er for alle de mennesker, der har været med mig fra begyndelsen. ''

 

Russell strategi var at fjerne Gonzalez 'besungne venstre hook, og han henrettet planen til nær perfektion.

 

"Vi var aldrig i dette at gøre det til et spor mødes,'' Russell sagde. "Vi skulle stå lige i lommen. Vi ved, hvad Gonzalez kan lide at gøre, og det er smide den brede venstre hook. Jeg forsøgte at lokke ham til at smide det, og han gjorde.

 

"Ærligt, Jeg tror ikke, han kom fra den første knockdown. ''

 

Gonzalez, en to-tiden WBC fjerlette verdensmester - og en veteran fra 16 verdens mesterskabet fights - vandt titlen for første gang i april 2011 og gjorde fire succesfulde titel forsvar før miste det i september 2012. Han genvandt titlen på en chokerende første runde knockout løbet Abner Mares i august 2013 på SHOWTIME, og havde gjort to mere succesfulde titel forsvar, før det faldt til Russell.

 

Gonzalez tilbød ingen undskyldninger før hurtigt afslutter ringen.

 

"Jeg er OK,'' Sagde han. "Jeg havde ikke forventet denne form for kamp overhovedet. Vi forventede ham til at løbe rundt i ringen med mig jagter. Men det gjorde han ikke. ''

 

I co-feature, Charlo tavshed kritikerne af hans CV ved at besejre sin hårdeste modstander til dato.

Han var overrasket over den måde, hans kamp med Martirosyan udspillet. "Jeg absolut forventet en langt grovere kamp,'' Sagde han. "Det var nemt i forhold til hvad jeg troede, vi var i for.

"Jeg kæmpede smart og da jeg fik at vide, at samle den op, Jeg vidste, hvad klokken var, så jeg gjorde. Jeg er helt klar til et skud på en verden titel. ''

Martirosyan, der blev skåret over venstre øje fra en tilfældig headbutt i ottende runde, var synligt skuffet over resultatet.

"Jeg positivt føler 100 procent, at jeg vandt den kamp,'' Sagde han. "Jeg var den angribende og tvang handling. Alt han blev kørt. Jeg landede renere slag. Jeg følte definitivt Jeg vandt den sidste runde.

"Jeg var bedøves ved headbutt [der resulterede i kampen bliver stoppet, mens han og ringside læge diskuterede snittet]. Sikker mit venstre øje generet mig efter det, og det var sløret. Men det er ingen undskyldning.

"Jeg følte, jeg såre ham. Han sårede mig ikke en eneste gang. Jeg forstår virkelig ikke denne beslutning. ""

Tidligere Lørdag, på SHOWTIME BOKSNING INTERNATIONAL, ubesejret IBF weltervægt mester Kell Brook (34-0, 23 KOS) overvældet obligatoriske udfordrer Jo Jo Dan (34-3, 18 KOS), droppe de rumænske baserede canadiske fire gange, før den ensidige beatdown blev klogt stoppet efter fjerde runde på Motorpoint Arena i Sheffield, England.

 

Brook, af Sheffield, var at gøre den første forsvar af weltervægt titel han tog fra tidligere ubesejret Shawn Porter sidste August på SHOWTIME og kæmper for første gang siden at lide en alvorlig skade, da han blev stukket i låret under en ferie på øen Tenerife i september sidste år.

 

Den spændende weltervægt viste ingen skadelige virkninger fra fritstille i en følelsesmæssig tilbagevenden til ringen, registrering to knockdowns i anden runde, og to mere i den fjerde, med den endelige knockdown kommer på afsluttende klokke. Dan har lidt den første knockout nederlag af hans karriere (at se knockout klik HER).

 

"Jeg er tilbage, Baby!"Sagde Brook, hvis ødelæggende præstation mod den normalt holdbar Dan elektrificeret de hjemby fans og samtidig bane vejen for en større opgør i fremtiden.

 

"Det var virkelig fantastisk at gå ud foran alle mine fans. Jeg troede ikke, jeg nogensinde ville gå igen, much less box again. Her er jeg fylde arenaer. Jeg kan ikke sætte i ord, hvor meget det betyder at være tilbage og forsvare en verden titel. Det betyder alt for mig.

 

"Det var svært der holder det sammen. Men det er her jeg hører. Benet føles fint. Benet føles lige så godt som det andet ben. Der er ingen problemer med benet.

 

"Hvis du ser Amir Khan, derefter komme her med mig. Jeg ved, du er sart omkring whiskers. Jeg tager dig ud. ''
