Las Vegas, NV.Undefeated contender Rey Vargas and Gavin McDonnell will vie for the vacant WBC Super Bantamweight title this Saturday from the Ice Arena in Hull, England that will be streamed live on www.klowdtv.com
The entire fight card can be accessed for just $4.99. ac

The action will begin a period of three major fight cards on www.klowdtv.com on in the span of seven week. Next Saturday, ar March 4th, the action shifts to London as one of the biggest heavyweight fights in the United Kingdom in recent years will take place as the bad blood will be settled between cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew moving up in weight to face former cruiserweight and heavyweight world champion David Haye. Yna, ar April 15thfrom Glasgow, Yr Alban, it will be a Junior Welterweight unification bout as WBA champion Ricky Burns takes on undefeated IBF champion Julius Indongo.
Vargas of Otumba, Mae gan Mecsico cofnod o 28-0 gyda 22 knockouts, and will be making his 1st attempt at a world title.
Y 26 year-old is a 7 blwyddyn proffesiynol, and has wins over former two-time world champion Alexander Munoz, former world title challengers Cecilio Santos, Juanito Rubillar, as well as well as contenders Luis Lugo (13-1-2), Marcos Cardenas (13-1-1), Eduardo Mancito (13-1-2) and Alexis Kabore (25-1).
It is a risk going to England, but I’m not scared,” Said Vargas. “I know that I’ll get booed when I go into the ring but I know when I win and step out of the ring they will applaud me. I am going to win this fight, even being in his backyard. He has that home advantage but I will win.

I know the judges could be an issue. Yn wir, a gym mate of mine, Gorffennaf Ceja, fought his brother and won, but they robbed him. The idea is to go for the knockout otherwise they could rob you.

It shows a bit of cowardice, not on him but on his team because they don’t want him to fight outside his country as they know he’ll lose. But I do trust that the WBC are fair and they will be neutral – Bydd y dyn gorau yn ennill. I’d be very proud to take the WBC belt home.

McDonnell of Dorncaster, England is the twin brother of WBA Bantamweight champion Jamie McDonnell, and has a record of 16-0-2 gyda 4 knockouts.

Gavin, 30 mlwydd oed, turned professional is a 7 blwyddyn proffesiynol, and got to this title opportunity on the strength of his victories over undefeated Scott Gladwin (5-0), Leigh Wood (11-0), Oleksandr Yegorov (13-0-1), Jorge Sanchez (15-0), three-time world title challenger Vusi Malinga (21-5-1) as well as Dean Anderson (5-1-1), Paul Econmides (13-3), Jeremy Parodi (37-2-1).
Yn ei bout diwethaf, McDonnell took an 8-round decision from Robin Zamora on September 10th yn Llundain.
I have to pinch myself that it’s finally here,” Dywedodd McDonnell. “All the hard work I’ve put in over the years, it feels like it’s meant to be this moment.

I have seen my brother become World champion, I have seen my gym-mate Tony Bellew become World champion and I believe now I’m ready and to be let off the leash. I’m ready to become world champion. Two twin brothers on the scene, both World champions standing side by sidethe Klitschko brothers of Doncaster!

We were in the same boat me and my brother, fighting an unbeaten Mexican banger. Having home advantage is key and I’ve wanted that.

I like being written off, I love proving people wrong and this will be no different. I really want to make a name for myself, I’ve always felt like I’ve been in my brother’s shadow but I’m 18 fights unbeaten and I’m on the verge of a World title fight.

“Vargas’ record says that he’s big puncher but we won’t know how good he is until we get in there. How much does he want it? Not more than me. He will have to knock me out cold to win it as he can’t beat me.

This will be a terrific championship bout ar ddydd Sadwrn. We look forward to kicking off a terrific string of title bouts for the great boxing fans in the United States,”said Chris Schickedanz, Managing Director of Klowdtv.

Ivan Baranchyk - Ai ef yw'r Arturo Gatti nesaf?

 

Baranchak Gatti.png

Miami, OK (Chwefror 14, 2017) – Ar ddydd Gwener, Chwefror 10, cafodd cefnogwyr bocsio bleser o frwydr ymgeisydd y flwyddyn rhwng pwysau welter iau Ivan “The Beast” Baranchyk o Brooklyn, NY ac Abel Ramos o Arizona. Digwyddodd y bout yn y Buffalo Run Casino ym mhrif ddigwyddiad ShoBox: Y Genhedlaeth Newydd. Roedd yn frwydr sylweddol i'r ddau ymladdwr, gyda Baranchyk yn edrych i symud ymhellach i fyny'r ysgol tra bod Ramos yn gobeithio dod yn chwaraewr yn 140 punnoedd trwy dynu ei elyn parchus allan.

 

Pan gyhoeddwyd y paru, Roedd disgwyl i Baranchyk a Ramos gynnal ymladdfa ddifyr. Roedd yr hyn a ddigwyddodd yn y pen draw yn llawer uwch na'r disgwyliadau.

 

Am ddeg rownd, Roedd gan Baranchyk a Ramos y dorf gallu ar eu traed yn bloeddio ar y weithred anhygoel. Tarodd y ddau ddyn y cynfas a chael eu brifo'n ddrwg ar wahanol adegau o'r ymladd, masnachu punches ar gyflymder gwyllt. gwaeddasant, ffrwgwd a gadael popeth yn y cylch mewn gornest a oedd ymhlith y mwyaf yn ShoBox's 17 hanes blwyddyn.

 

Sgorau oedd 99-91, 97-92 ac 97-93 ar gyfer Baranchyk, pwy sy'n 14-0 gyda 10 knockouts. Ramos, cynyddodd ei stoc yn aruthrol wrth drechu, yn 17-2-2 (12 KO yn).

 

Roedd ystadegau CompuBox yn debyg i'r ornest gyntaf rhwng Arturo Gatti a Mickey Ward. Cyfunodd Baranchyk a Ramos i lanio 664 dyrnod llwyr a 482 ergydion pŵer. Gatti-Ward gwelais gyfanswm o 618 yn cysylltu â 521 bod yn punches pŵer.

 

“Rwy’n credu bod yn rhaid mai hon yw’r frwydr orau yn hanes ShoBox,” ebychodd hyrwyddwr Baranchyk, Tony Holden, sy'n ei hyrwyddo ynghyd â DiBella Entertainment and Fight Promotions Inc. “Mae Ivan yn plesio torf naturiol. Mae ganddo'r galon fwyaf mewn bocsio a chyflyru anhygoel. Fel y gwelsom lawer gwaith o'r diweddar, gwych Arturo Gatti, Cafodd Ivan ei brifo, gwaedlyd a chymerodd lawer o ddyrnod ond roedd ei ewyllys yn ei bweru i fuddugoliaeth. Rwy’n credu y gallai fod yr Arturo Gatti nesaf ond mae gwaith i’w wneud o hyd.”

 

Lou DiBella, oedd yn hyrwyddo y Ward crybwylledig, yn credu mai Baranchyk yw seren y byd bocsio diweddaraf.

 

“Cawsom ystadegau gan CompuBox ac roedden nhw bron yn union yr un fath â Gatti-Ward 1 a Corrales-Castillo 1, dwy o ornestau mwyaf hanes bocsio. Ymladdodd Baranchyk a Ramos am yr oesoedd a dwi'n meddwl bod y gymhariaeth i Gatti-Ward yn un dda.. Mae meddylfryd sarhaus Ivan a'i barodrwydd i gymryd a rhoi cosb yn atgoffa rhywun o Arturo Gatti. Mae eisoes wedi dangos y gall gael torf y tu ôl iddo a phrofwyd hynny gan ba mor gyflym y mae cefnogwyr Miami, Mabwysiadodd OK ef fel pe bai'n un ohonynt eu hunain. Dwi wir yn meddwl y gall ddod yn Gatti Belarwseg.”

DYFYNIADAU TERFYNOL:

 

IVAN “THE BEAST” BARANCHYK:

“I’m working with a new trainer (Eduard Kravtsov) at Wild Card Gym. We had some mistakes with our old team and it was time for me to move on. It was my decision to move on.

 

“We have better sparring now, a new coach, new strategy. Wild Card is a different experience. We have tough sparring, tough training. It was a good change.

 

“I’m still the same aggressive fighter; I come forward and try to stop you. We’re just working on a few new things, more combos, better defense.

 

“Ramos is my toughest opponent, but we’re ready for everything he brings. We’re ready to fight on the inside, on the outside.

 

“The game plan is to get the victory. That’s the most important

 

“The first couple rounds are the most dangerous. We know he’s tough and experienced. We need to make it my fight, style-wise.

 

“My last two fights went the distance, but it was good to know I can go 10 rowndiau. It was good to get that experience.

 

“People connect with me here (yn Miami, Okla.). I can’t explain it, it just works.”

 

ABEL RAMOS:

“Ivan is a different fighter. We know what we’re getting in there with and we’re going to feel out his power. His last two fights went the distance so he must not hit that hard. We’re going to wear him out.

 

“Ivan is aggressive, and he can be explosive at times, but he makes mistakes. He fights a little wild.

 

“I think I can start to worry him. We’re going to test his power and decide how I need to fight. He hasn’t fought anyone at my level yet.

 

“I have to win this fight. This is my third time on SHOWTIME and I have to win. Mae'n rhaid i mi wneud datganiad.

 

“I’ve been working on pushing the pace. You’ll see some of that yfory nos.

 

“We sparred with Sergey Lipenets, helping him get ready for his fight in December. That was a good experience for us.

 

“I’ve learned lot since my loss to Regis (Prograis – ShoBox, 2015). I’m training harder, working in the gym, taking this more seriously.

 

“I’m here to show that I’m back and ready for the top guys. I’ve had three wins by knockout since the loss. I’m a different fighter.”

 

LENIN CASTILLO:

“We know Williams is an aggressive fighter that comes forward. I’ve seen some tape. I’m expecting him to come at me. But it’s nothing I’ve never seen before.

 

“I need to bring the pressure so the judges won’t have any doubt. I need to fight my fight.

 

“I think I’ve fought the better opponents. I think my experience is going to be the difference.

 

“The quality of fighters here (in the U.S.) is better than back home (Gweriniaeth Dominica). This is where I want to fight now.”

 

JOSEPH “MACK” WILLIAMS:

"Mae e'n (Castell) has a few more fights, but mostly in the Dominican Republic, so we don’t know how good he actually is.

 

“He’s never fought anyone like me. He’s going to come with confidence because he’s 15-0 gyda 10 Kos. He’s confident because he’s Olympian. But he’s never faced anyone like me.

 

“He may be an Olympian, but look who I fought in the amateurs. Look at the men that I beat. And those guys are mostly cruiserweights now. I’m much stronger at light heavyweight.

 

“This is the right time and right place for us. This is a huge opportunity.

 

“I don’t think he’s the best fighter I’ve faced. If I hit him clean I don’t think it will go that far. I’m going to go in there with an open mind and exploit his weakness.

 

“I’ve gradually moved down in weight. I’m faster at light heavyweight. When I was heavy I took my time. I’m sharper, gyflymach. I’m just a totally different person.

 

“I always compare myself to James Toney. I can hit hard, I can take a punch, and I’m slick. What you see will depend on my opponent. If I feel he’s weak, I’ll jump early. I can brawl, Gallaf blwch. I’m explosive.”

 

JON FERNANDEZ:

"Rwy'n sparred gyda (Carl) Frampton in Las Vegas for the (Lion) Santa Cruz fight. It was a great experience sparring with him three times a week. It gave me more confidence knowing I could handle him.

 

“Garza is basically the same height as Frampton, so that will be an advantage.

 

“I know he’s going to come at me, and we’re ready for that. I need to keep my rhythm and make it an entertaining fight. I believe my power and speed will be the difference. I throw a lot of punches.

 

“This fight means a lot to me. We’re both good fighters and the TV exposure means a lot. It’s a good opportunity and I need to take advantage of it.”

 

ERNESTO GARZA:

“We’re going to give him something he’s never seen before. We’re going to bring the action.

 

“I’ve always been an aggressive fighter. I like to bring the pressure.

 

“I’ve faced guys as tall as him before, I fought a guy that was 6-foot-2. I know I need to get inside with a guy like this.

 

“I’ve seen a lot of his fights, and I don’t think he’s a fast puncher. He always fights the same style, and his opponents are always there for the taking. I’m not going to be there for him to hit like that.

 

“This is my chance. This is a big opportunity for me.”

 

The event is promoted by DiBella Adloniant ac Tony Holden Productions ar y cyd â Fight Promotions. Fernandez vs. Garza is promoted in association with MaravillaBox Promotions ac Jaafar Promotions.

Ivan Baranchyk: An unlikely journey from Belarus to Miami, Oklahoma

I'w Ryddhau ar Unwaith
Miami, OK (Chwefror 7, 2017) – When junior welterweight powerhouse Ivan “The Beast” Baranchyk first entered a boxing gym at age 12 in his native Belarus, he quickly learned why boxing is known as the loneliest sport.
"The man who ran the gym I went to was supposed to be the trainer but he had a drinking problem,” Baranchyk recalled. “Instead of teaching us the sport of boxing, he just opened the gym door each day and left us without steady guidance.”
Baranchyk learned much of the sweet science on his own and didn’t have a stable trainer throughout his amateur career. Amazingly, he won the 2009 World Junior Championships and defeated future two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Robeisy Ramirez of Cuba in the process. After continuing to excel as an amateur, the word quickly got out about the Belarusian buzzsaw.
He had offers from promoters across the globe to turn pro and elected to sign with Fight Promotions Inc. Baranchyk relocated to Brooklyn, NY after turning pro in June 2014. Nine victories later, he was matched with fellow unbeaten Nicholas Givhan of Michigan on ShoBox: The New Generation at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, OK. A transplanted New Yorker who fought most of his professional bouts at that point in the Big Apple, Baranchyk never heard of Oklahoma and wasn’t sure what the environment would be like.
Ar bapur, the bout was viewed as a tossup and Givhan had more professional experience. Both fighters weren’t known to locals but it took less than half a minute to change that. Dim ond 21 seconds after the opening bell, Baranchyk flattened Givhan with a vicious left hook that was one of 2016’s best knockouts. The standing room only crowd at the Buffalo Run was amazed and wanted to see him fight there again.
Three months later, Baranchyk granted their wish when he made his second straight ShoBox appearance, taking apart previously undefeated Eliseo Cruz Sesma inside of three rounds. The all-action Baranchyk had the crowd on their feet throughout the contest chanting “Beast, Beast, Beast” until the stoppage.
Yn fuan wedi hynny, Baranchyk signed with Tony Holden Productions, who promotes Baranchyk alongside DiBella Entertainment and the aforementioned Fight Promotions Inc. He’s since won two more bouts at the Buffalo Run, raising his professional record to 13-0 gyda 10 knockouts while capturing the USBA and WBC USNBC titles in the process.
"I feel very comfortable with the fans out there,” said Baranchyk. “I felt the energy at the Buffalo Run instantly and I’m grateful that the fans have been so supportive of me.”
Holden has been promoting fights for more than two decades and had many crowd attractions, most notably former champions Tommy Morrison and Johnny Tapia. He thought he’d seen it all. This was until a fighter with a background far different from the majority of his fans became an adopted son in the 14,000 person city of Miami, OK.
"He’s truly special to the fans at the Buffalo Run Casino and residents of Miami to the point where they’ve adopted him as if he were a lifelong local,” Holden said of Baranchyk, who is a member of Holden Productions’ Four State Franchise. “His style is entertaining and all boxing fans like action fighters. It’s amazing because when Ivan first fought here in March 2016 he was virtually unknown and now he’s a house fighter.”
Baranchyk will have a tough task when he faces Arizona’s Abel Ramos at the Buffalo Run Dydd Gwener Chwefror, 10 in the ten round main event of a ShoBox tripleheader. Ramos, 17-1-2 (12 KO yn), has multiple wins over unbeaten fighters including a fifth round stoppage of 13-0 Dario Ferman last May. He’s faced quality opposition and is expected to be Baranchyk’s biggest test to date.
To ensure he’s at his best, the IBF #7 ranked Baranchyk trained in Los Angeles at Wildcard Boxing Club alongside new trainer Edward Kravtsov. With a solid training camp in the books, Baranchyk is prepared to deliver a solid performance Dydd Gwener gyda'r nos.
"This was a great camp and Wildcard is an awesome environment. It was something I needed to prepare for a good tough opponent in Abel Ramos. I’m fully prepared to entertain my fans at the Buffalo Run Casino. If everything goes as planned and I emerge victorious, I trust my team to get me to the next level.
The ShoBox tripleheader airs at 10:05 pm ET and tickets are available at the Buffalo Run Box Office or by going tostubwire.com/event/shoboxthenewgeneration/buffaloruncasino/miami/14075.
