KOROBOV CAMP EXIGE INVESTIGAÇÃO

Para ver a carta e as provas anexas, clique AQUI.


A equipe que representa Matvey Korobov, de peso médio com classificação nº 14 do WBC, enviou uma carta ao procurador-geral e governador da Virgínia, solicitando que eles abram uma investigação sobre o polêmico empate majoritário de Korobov no sábado passado (Maio 11) contra o lutador Immanuwel Aleem baseado na Virgínia e vários "incidentes circundantes" relevantes.




Leon Margules, advogado da equipe Korobov, enviou a carta em nome do lutador, junto com várias evidências de apoio, para o procurador-geral da Virgínia, Mark Herring, e o governador Ralph Northam.


Iniciar, Margules aponta o que ele alega ser um conflito de interesses porque os dois juízes da Virgínia, Mark D’Attilio e Brian Costello, que questionaram sobre o empate em 95-95, são membros do boxe do estado, Artes marciais, e Conselho Consultivo de Wrestling Profissional responsável por selecionar os juízes de cada luta e licenciar os lutadores.


Costello, de fato, é o presidente do conselho.


E assim, dois membros do corpo responsável por nomear os juízes de uma luta se nomearam e um árbitro relativamente inexperiente (Michelle Myers) da Virgínia para oficiar uma luta transmitida pela televisão nacional com um lutador de seu estado natal, contra Korobov, um russo morando na Flórida.


Em seguida, questiona o porquê, das três lutas televisionadas, este foi o único realizado assim, com funcionários não neutros.


A carta também faz referência ao scorecard original fornecido à mídia, que mostrou Korobov como o vencedor da decisão majoritária, bem como o mesmo scorecard 20 minutos mais tarde, com a rodada de D’Attilio 10 Pontuação de Korobov riscada e alterada de um 10 para um 9, transformando o resultado em um empate majoritário.


Outro ponto de discórdia é o desempenho de julgamento dos dois juízes da Virgínia, que marcou a luta e empate quando a vitória de Korobov foi quase universalmente aceita pela mídia de boxe e pelos fãs, pós-luta.


Para a maioria, Korobov pareceu vencer as primeiras sete rodadas com folga e machucou Aleem gravemente na sexta rodada antes de Aleem montar uma pequena recuperação nas últimas duas ou três rodadas. No sino final, Korobov tinha uma vantagem considerável em socos acertados (de acordo com as estatísticas do CompuBox, Korobov pousou 154 socos fora de 417 jogado (37%), enquanto Aleem pousou 119 tiros de 630 [19%]).


Respeitado oficial de boxe e juiz não oficial do concurso, Larry Hazard Sr., marcou a luta 97-92.


Uma longa lista de fãs nas redes sociais expressando suspeita de corrupção também está anexada.


A carta de Margules também aponta o que muitos consideram um knockdown perdido pelo Árbitro Myers na quarta rodada, quando Korobov mandou Aleem para baixo com uma contra-mão direita, apenas para ela marcar uma falta incorretamente.


A equipe Korobov disse que espera que o estado encontre uma solução para esta situação infeliz para evitar outro olho roxo para o boxe e um "efeito assustador" nos lutadores que vêm lutar na Virgínia.

Lightweight Keyshawn Davis preparing to go gold digging next year in Japan at 2020 Jogos Olímpicos


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Maio 20, 2019) – Team USA lightweight Keyshawn Davis has been preparing all of his young life to represent his country in the Olympics. If everything goes as planned and remains on schedule, the Norfolk, Virginia native will be boxing for gold next year in Japan.


The 20-year-old Davis, quem pratica um 110-15 registro amador, is racking up medals at such a torrid pace that he desperately needs to expand his display case. He is a two-time Elite National (2017-18) and two-time National PAL (2013-14) campeão, as well as a gold medalist at the 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier, 2017 Youth Open and 2017 Luvas de Ouro nacionais.

Internationally, he’s done some serious damage, muito. The highlight of his amateur career, to date, is winning gold at last year’s Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria. Davis recently captured silver at the 2019 Pan-American Games Qualifier in Nicaragua, in addition to the 2018 Chemistry Cup in Germany.

I won my first International gold medal in Bulgaria,” Davis agreed with it being the highlight of his amateur career. “I was also selected as the Most Outstanding Boxer.

His victory at the 2018 USA Nationals qualified him for the 2020 Olympic Trials for Boxing, while his silver at the Pan American Games Qualifier qualified him for the Pan American Games (July 27-August 2) in Lima, Peru. This year he will also be competing at the Elite Men’s World Championships (Sete. 7-21) in Yekaterinburg, Rússia.

Qualifying for the Olympic Trials really wasn’t much of an accomplishment for me because it was expected,” Davis noted. “For me it was to get on Team USA, again and this is my second year on the team.

There’s no real competition for me to qualify for the USA Olympic Boxing Team. My last fight in The Nationals was a little bit of a challenge (vs. Propriedades Dalis), because I slipped and got up.

At the Pan American Games, Davis could very well face the Cuban boxer who defeated him by a score of 3-2 at the Pan American Games Qualifier, Andy Cruz, setting up a possible rubber match between the two elite boxers next year at the Olympic Games.

There’s a very good chance we’ll fight again at the Pan-Am Games, most likely in Japan, também,” Davis added. “We have to win two rounds to qualify for the finals and for me to get my revenge. Cruz has a lot more International experience than I do. Ele é 26 years old and World Champion in our weight class.

Davis started boxing when he was nine when, tired of Keyshawn and his two brothers fighting each other and in school, his mother asked if they wanted to go to the gym to learn how to box. They did and today, his older (Kelvin) e mais jovem (Keon) brothers are also amateur boxers.

Not long after that he met Troy Isley, who is a fellow member of Team USA, and today they’re as close as brothers.

I met Troy way back, after I first started boxing,” Davis remembered. “We’d meet up at the Nationals and other tournaments and hang together with my brothers. My coach retired, so I went to Troy’s gym (Alexandria, VA) and started working with Coach Kay (Koroma, USA Assistant National Boxing Coach). We’re getting close to our dream (representing the USA in the Olympics) that started so long ago that it seems unreal to be getting close. You can expect two boxers from Virginia to come back from Japan with gold medals. We’re like brothers.

Coach Kay first cornered me when I was 13. He’s a great coach who wants us to succeed in life, not just in the ring. He wants the best for us. We have one of the best U.S. boxing teams in a long time and it’s going to show in Japan. We always help each other out and this is a very exciting time for us right now.

Another close friend of Keyshawn’s is, 2018 Medalhista de prata olímpico Shakur Stevenson, who has been through what Keyshawn is approaching, and is now at the level as a professional prospect in which Davis aspires to reach.

Shakur has always supported me,” Davis continued. “We talk a lot. Honestamente, it’s hard for me not to think about turning pro, because my amateur career will be over after the Olympics. I’ve always been taught to have a plan, so I’ve been preparing, business-wise, looking into my options (manager and promoter), and to stay on the right track from the amateurs to pros.

If he wasn’t a boxer, Davis figures he’d be a realtor, but he’s thoroughly enjoying the life as a boxer.

This has been a great experience,” Davis spoke about his amateur boxing career, “especially this year getting ready for the Pan AMs. I’ve had opportunities to travel and meet people, but the best part is being part of a team like this. Boxing is an individual sport but, fora do ringue, we’re always pushing hard for each other.

I thank God every day when I get up for putting me in this position. All I want to do is provide for me and my family. At my age, I’m ahead of the game.

Nakashima (8-0) has long been regarded as a special talent. Those prodigious abilities were finally realized by the masses when he was crowned LFA welterweight champion this past fall. His wrestling pedigree, shrewd striking ability, and willingness to learn every aspect of martial arts has made him the undefeated welterweight champion that he is today. The Illinois native and University of Nebraska wrestling standout has taken the 170-pound division by storm since making his professional MMA debut for RFA in 2015.

That next challenge will come against fellow undefeated prospect and #1 contender Kyle Stewart.

The other would be Nakashima, the man Stewart has long had his eye on since their careers began three years ago. The reality of them finally meeting in the Octagon became even more real when Stewart won his LFA debut last year. Stewart made a final statement for a title shot when he handed fellow top prospect Jaleel Willis his first loss in the main event of LFA 33 em fevereiro deste ano.
