John Oliver has come a long way from “The Daily Show.” His latest monologue is both funny and pointedly critical of Vince McMahon and the World Wrestling Entertainment empire. It also could be considered as a great explanation of why the UFC’s fighters should also not be considered independent contractors, as Vince’s wrestlers are considered to be. The IRS implications alone are puzzling. How do Vince and the UFC get away with it? Hopefully this attention brought to the issue inspires change, but as for fans bringing critical signs to the event, I doubt we will see that. Fans know that they can’t get on TV if they don’t bring a sign the WWE actually wants to broadcast. U svakom slučaju, if you are a fan, a casual observer, or a vociferous critic of wrestling entertainment, you should watch this entire clip:

UNBEATEN RISING HEAVYWEIGHTS JERMAINE FRANKLIN & OTTO WALLIN TALK UPCOMING BOUTS & ROAD TO HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Franklin Battles Rydell Booker While Wallin Faces Nick Kisner Live on SHOWTIME® Subota, April 13 Leading Up to Claressa Shields vs. Christina Hammer Main Event from Boardwalk Hall
u Atlantic City, N.J.
Atlantic City, N.J. (April 3, 2019) – Unbeaten rising heavyweight contendersJermaine Franklin i Otto Wallin will be looking to make a splash and announce themselves in the heavyweight division when they step in for separate bouts live on SHOWTIME Saturday, April 13 from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.
The SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader will air beginning at 9 poslije podne. ET/PT and is headlined by Claressa Shields battling Christina Hammer for the undisputed women’s middleweight championship.
Franklin will face Rydell Booker while Wallin takes on Nick Kisner in a pair of 10-round attractions leading up to the main event. For both Franklin and Wallin, they see April 13 as a step towards their larger goals.
“Booker is in the way of where I’m eventually trying to be,” said Franklin. “I’m part of that next generation of heavyweights and I’m working hard to end up as the heavyweight champion when the dust settles. I always find a way to win and I’m going to show it on April 13.”
“Coming to the U.S. for the second part of my career is very exciting,” said Wallin. “I’ve accomplished a lot in my career in Europe but this is a new beginning. This is the moment I’ve been dreaming of since I first laced up mitts and I can’t wait to introduce myself to the fans here.”
A 25-year-old from Saginaw, Mičigen, Franklin hopes to show that he’s primed to become the next American heavyweight champion, and is ready to take the mantle from current WBC titlist Deontay Wilder and the long line of American heavyweight champions that came before him.
“I’m going to raise the competition amongst the heavyweights,” said Franklin. “The division is definitely back on the map and I’m planning on having a hand in making it must-watch TV once again. America needs another face in the heavyweight division and that’s going to be me.
“I already believe that I am the best heavyweight in the world. There are a lot of big, strong heavyweights, but I’m a balanced athlete, which makes me different. Ja sam jak, brzo, athletic and getting better with each fight.”
Although his native Sweden is not known for boxing, Wallin’s home country has previously produced a heavyweight champion in Ingemar Johansson, who famously stopped Floyd Patterson in their first fight at Yankee Stadium in 1959. After defeating fellow Swedish heavyweight Adrian Granat in his last fight, Wallin decided it was time to fight in the U.S., following previous training camps in New York with trainer Joey Gamache.
“Training here in New York brings me a great energy and it shows in my performance,” said Wallin. “It’s the center of the world, and while I’m fully focused on training, I feed off the energy of the city.
“Ingemar Johansson is of course a big inspiration for me. When he came to the U.S. and beat Floyd Patterson, he was the baddest man on the planet. I’m looking to take that mantle and become a hero for young Swedish boxers, just like he has been for me.”
In addition to being Wallin’s U.S. debi, the unbeaten heavyweights will make their first appearances on SHOWTIME and it will be Franklin’s first time fighting in the northeast. They each hope to show off their respective talents and are prepared for what comes with the increased platform.
“This is a great chance for me to showcase my skills, but I still treat it like just another fight,” said Franklin. “I’m going to adapt to my opponent and expose his weaknesses. I’m always improving because once you think you know it all, that’s when you find out you know nothing.”
“I’m just a kid from a small town in Sweden and I’ve worked hard to get to this point,” said Wallin. “Training here in the U.S. and fighting here is going to help me put on the best performance of my career. The fun begins on April 13 and I’m not stopping until I am champion.”
Both recently signed with Dmitriy Salita’s Salita Promotions and on April 13 will begin a year that could leave each fighter on the precipice of a title shot.
“Aprila 13 two of the best heavyweight in the world, one from the U.S., one from Sweden, will both have a chance to make a claim that they are ready to challenge for the heavyweight title,” Said Word.
“Jermaine Franklin is by far the best American heavyweight prospect who is soon to be a contender and a champion. He will have a great opportunity to showcase his skills and worth against the experienced, hungry and accomplished Rydell Booker.
“Boxing is a sport of individual stories and Otto Wallin is a great example of that. A top-rated heavyweight from a small town in Sweden, he is showing that dreams, combined with hard work, can come true. He is one of the best heavyweight contenders from Europe and on April 13 he will show that he belongs with the elite in the U.S.”
With this opportunity to announce themselves in the resurgent heavyweight division, Franklin and Wallin are keyed for eye-opening performances next Saturday.
“My ultimate goal is to become world champion and I believe right now I’m on the right path,” said Wallin, koji je rangiran No. 5 by the IBF and WBA. “I had good years fighting in Europe, but now is the time for me to go to the next level. I can’t wait to show everyone what I’m all about and give the fans great fights.”
“I’m planning to be a major force in the heavyweight division by the end of the year,” said Franklin. “It’s my coming out party. I feel like my dreams are going to come true. I’m going to show everyone who I am: the best new heavyweight in the world.”
Ulaznice za live event, koji se promovira Salita Promocije, su po cijeni od $150, $100, $55 i $35 and can be purchased through Ticketmaster and atboardwalkhall.com.

NEW YORK (April 2, 2019) – Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) bio domaćin medijskog događaja u utorak u New Yorku kao nedavni potpisnik BKFC-a i bivši prvak u boksu u dvije divizije Paulie Malignaggi i bivši istaknuti UFC i stabilan partner Conor McGregor Artem Lobov imao žučnu razmjenu i morao se razdvojiti u očekivanju mogućeg obračuna između njih kasnije ove godine.
Lobov se sprema preuzeti Jason Knight u glavnom slučaju “BKFC 5: Lobov vs. vitez” ove subote iz Koloseuma obale Mississippija u Biloxiju i uživo na pay-per-view. Ako uspije u subotu navečer, dugoočekivani obračun protiv Malignaggija.

Evo šta su borci imali za reći u utorak iz Mendez Boxinga na Manhattanu:
Poli MALIGNAGGI
“Bez nepoštovanja Jasona Najta, jer ćemo vidjeti šta će biti u subotu, ali mislim da bi svi ovdje htjeli vidjeti Malignaggi vs. Lobov. Vidim da to povećava snagu i fanovi općenito pričaju o tome.
“Kad ubacim Lobova u ring, cilj nije samo pobjeda. Moram se zaista istaknuti i pokazati još nešto. Cilj bi bio da ga teško povrijedite.
“Svaki dan u teretani me uzbuđuje. Na taj način, Osećam se mentalno preporođeno. Siguran sam da će biti teških dana, ali to je naravno za kurs. Mislim da mentalno možete pronaći motivaciju koja će vas potaknuti na postizanje određenih ciljeva.
“Prvo sam počeo razgovarati s Davidom Feldmanom o uključenosti u aspekt emitiranja BKFC -a. Ali onda mi je izbacio brojeve koji su mi privukli pažnju. Kad smo prošli prvi dio razgovora, stvari su krenule i evo nas.
“Uvijek se morate prilagoditi u novoj disciplini što se tiče načina na koji ćete bacati i primati udarce. Učinit ćemo mala prilagođavanja, ali tvoja baza je tvoja baza. Moja baza je boks i zadržat ćemo stvari koje želimo zadržati.
“Gledao sam neke borbe s golim zglobovima i postoje neke fundamentalne razlike. Bokseri mogu iskoristiti neke stvari. No, postoje i neki aspekti na koje bokseri možda nisu navikli u golim zglobovima.”
ARTEM LOBOV
“Ja sam pravi borac i borit ću se s Pauliejem u pravoj borbi. Želim zaraditi novac za to. On zna da sam dolje. Ako ste pravi borac, borimo se u ringu.
“Budimo iskreni, Paulie se ne želi boriti sa mnom na ulici, jer zna da bih ga rastrgao u nekoliko sekundi. Ali želim se dokazati u boksačkom ringu. Zato ovo radim. Želim Paulieja na sigurnom do dana kad konačno mogu staviti ruke na njega.
“Ovo je jedina šansa da ima priliku da me napadne. Kad se stignemo boriti, neće doći do mene, Garantujem to.
“Ovdje sam da se borim u subotu uveče. Ja sam pravi borac. Niko me nikada neće natjerati da dam otkaz. Ne zanima me ništa što mi Paulie može učiniti.
“Paulie je uvijek bio borba kakvu sam želio. Noć je’ za Jasona Najta ove subote, onda ide na Paulieja. To je jedina borba koju želim. Zaslužuje da dobije šamar.
“Jason Knight je u jednom trenutku bio vrhunski UFC borac. On je veoma težak protivnik, ali njegova je snaga bila miješanje disciplina. Samo me boksa, on nema šanse.
“Obožavam trening golih zglobova. Ovo je moja igra. Volim stand-up borbe. Moj pristup je da ako želite biti dobar bokser, morate mnogo boksati. Išao sam u sve najbolje teretane u Irskoj i dobio odličan sparing.”

The ShoBox tripleheader co-feature will see unbeaten super featherweight prospect Xavier Martinez (13-0, 9 KOs) squaring off against experienced Filipino John Moralde (21-2, 11 KOs) in a 10-round bout and undefeated Mayweather Promotions’ 130-pound prospect Andres Cortes (10-0, 6 KOs) suočava jahmal Dyer (9-1, 5 KOs) in an eight-round bout in the telecast opener.
Tickets for the Mayweather Promotions’ Sin City Showdown are priced at $25, $50 i $75 and can be purchased by visiting: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/.
Lav, (16-0, 8 KOs), who started boxing at the age of eight, has dreams of emulating his biggest boxing inspiration, Roberto Duran, by one day becoming a world champion. He draws inspiration not only from Duran’s aggressiveness in the ring, but also from his tactical fighting style. The 24-year-old from Albuquerque, N.M. has sparred with elite boxers such as Leo Santa Cruz, Jessie Magdaleno, Nonito Donaire, and Tomoki Kameda and assures he is more than prepared to withstand Tabanao on April 5.
Tabanao, 25, made his pro debut in 2012 in his home country of the Philippines. He will make his television debut this week as he looks to move up the super bantamweight ranks. Tabanao won the WBO Oriental Featherweight Title in 2016 with a third-round technical knockout of Ibrahim Balla to then lose it to former 122-pound world champion Issac Dogboe. He suffered two consecutive defeats after losing to Dogboe but has admirably rebounded by winning his last four bouts.
Here is what the fighters had to share ahead of their matchup:
On what they know about their opponent:
Lav: “Tabanao is definitely not a pushover. On ima 17 pobjeda i 11 of those by knockout, so we definitely know that he can punch. I’ve seen a video of him, he likes to counter off the high guard. He’s fought a former world champion, Isaac Dogboe, and went the distance with him. Tako, he is a tough competitor for sure, but I think with my boxing and ring IQ, I can get the victory.”
Tabanao: “Angelo Leo is a good fighter. We need to use a good strategy to win this fight—and we have it. We trained very hard targeting his weaknesses. He’s in for a surprise this Friday.”
On what a win from this fight will do for their career:
Lav: “A win over Neil Tabanao will probably set me up for another 10-round fight and after that I will hopefully be competing on a world title eliminator. I think in the next two or three fights I’ll get a world title shot.”
Tabanao: “I want to be recognized in the world of boxing. Leo is a step towards that goal. He doesn’t know what he’s in for.”
On training camp:
Lav: “I had a very good training camp. I have a very good team. Moj tata, is my head trainer, he is the one in charge. Luis Chavez is my other trainer. He lives in New Mexico trainer and comes down when I fight. Steve Cartledge and John Sinclair are helping me with my strength and conditioning. We started increasing the rounds in my sparring and we are trying to get the conditioning up as well. I have been training super hard for this fight. I feel that I’m in tip-top shape.”
Tabanao: “I had a good training camp. I trained with my coach Sonny Dollente at Mabuhay Boxing Camp at Dujali Davao del Norte in The Philippines. We worked hard on perfecting our strategy; we are ready to counter whatever Leo may do on Friday night.”
How does it feel to fight on national television?
Lav: “It feels like a dream come true to fight on national television. I’ve been working so hard for this moment. Konačno, I get to show everybody who I am and what better way to do it than as the main event on TV. I’m going to take full advantage of this opportunity. Everyone will see what I’m all about.”
Tabanao: “It means a lot to me to be able to fight on national television. I hope this is the first of many televised fights. I want to become a renowned and successful boxer to be able help my family. I’m determined to do it.”

Easter will return to the ring for the first time since losing his IBF title in a unification showdown with WBC Champion and pound-for-pound great Mikey Garcia last July on SHOWTIME. Barthelemy is undefeated at 135 pounds and returns to the lightweight division for his second fight since losing a 140-pound title rematch to Kiryl Relikh last March on SHOWTIME.
“Two former champions looking to reclaim their championship status speaks for itself in terms of the action and will to win that Easter and Barthelemy will bring on April 27,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promocije. “Both guys have already proven that they have what it takes to take care of business at this level.

The 28-year-old Easter (21-1, 14 KOs) won the IBF Lightweight Championship in 2016 by edging an exciting split-decision against then-unbeaten and current IBF titleholder Richard Commey. After two successful title defenses in his hometown of Toledo, Ohajo, Easter defeated former champion Javier Fortuna by decision in a January 2018 fight in SHOWTIME.
That victory set up a unification with WBC champion Mikey Garcia, in which Easter survived an early knockdown to push Garcia the full 12 rounds before coming up short on the scorecards. At 5-foot-11, Easter has continued to show the combination of size, skill and athleticism that made him a highly regarded prospect following an amateur career that featured a spot as an alternate on the 2012 U.S. Olympic team.
“I’ve wanted to fight Barthelemy since he had the lightweight title and vacated it, and now I have the chance,” said Easter. “He has an awkward style and I’m up for that challenge. I am still coming in as the taller fighter with a reach advantage and I’ll use it to make this fight go how I want it to. He is a former world champion and he is coming to bring it just like I am.”
A decorated Cuban amateur who hails from a boxing family that includes his older brother, Olympic Gold Medalist Yan, and younger brother, unbeaten featherweight Leduan, Rances Barthelemy (27-1, 14 KOs) will return to lightweight to vie against one of the best fighters in the division. The 32-year-old now trains in Las Vegas and previously captured a 135-pound belt by defeating Denis Shafikov in December 2015.
Barthelemy won a 130-pound championship by defeating Argenis Mendez in 2014 and attempted to become the first Cuban three-division champion when he moved up to 140-pounds for his first fight against Relikh, a title eliminator that he won by decision. After dropping the rematch to Relikh in a vacant title fight on SHOWTIME, Barthelemy returned to the ring in December and stopped Robert Frankel.
“I’m looking forward to a great fight against Robert Easter Jr,” Said Barthelemy. “I know I have what it takes to beat him and capture another title and become a three-time world champ. My best performances have come at 135 funti. Both of us are former world champions who are hungry and will give the fans a sensational night of boxing. I’ve never lost at lightweight and that will continue on April 27. Don’t miss this fight on SHOWTIME. It’s now or never!”
Originally from Ukraine, but now fighting out of Los Angeles, Postol (30-2, 12 KOs) previously earned a 140-pound world title by knocking out Lucas Matthysse in 2015. The 35-year-old dropped the title in a unification showdown with Terence Crawford in 2016 before bouncing back by defeating then unbeaten Jamshidbek Najmiddinov. Last June he dropped a decision to unbeaten contender Josh Taylor and most recently he defeated Siar Ozgul in November.
The 31-year-old Mimoune (21-2, 2 KOs) has fought professionally since 2010 i da će biti pravi svoje U.S. debut against Postol on April 27. Representing Haute-Garonne, Francuska, on je bez poraza u svojoj zadnjoj 10 fights dating back to 2014. His last five victories have come in 12-round decisions, including two last year over then unbeaten Emiliano Dominguez and most recently against Franck Petitjean.
Nigeria’s Ajagba (9-0, 8 KOs) gained notoriety last August 24 when his opponent, Curtis Harper, walked out of the ring after touching gloves to start the first round. The 24-year-old, 2016 Nigerian Olympian won the fight without throwing a punch as Harper was disqualified. In his last fight Ajagba, who lives in Stafford, Texas and trains with Ronnie Shields, defeated his toughest competition to date by stopping longtime contender Amir Mansour after two rounds.
Borba iz Minhena, Njemačka, Wallisch (19-1, 12 KOs) won his first 19 pro fights after turning pro in 2010, including a German heavyweight title-winning performance in 2013 against Alexander Kahl. The 33-year-old fought three times last year, picking up two knockout victories before losing to Christian Hammer in December.
