World Cup Boxing Series signs 2-time World title challenger “Mighty” Aston Palicte

Aston Palicite.jpg
LOS ANGELES (Februar 7, 2022) World Cup Boxing Series (WCBS), co-founded by CEO Terry Hollan and matchmaker Guy Taylor, has announced it has signed 2-time World title challenger “Mighty” Aston Palicte (28-4-1, 24 KOS) to a multi-year promotional contract.

The 31-year-old Palicte, who fights out of Bago City, Negros Occidental, Philippines is the two-time World junior bantamweight title challenger against a pair of future Hall of Famers, fighting to a draw with fellow Filipino Donnie Nietes (43-1-6, 24 KOS), losing to current World Boxing Organization (WBO) Junior Bantamweight Champion Kazuto Ioka (28-2, 15 KOS).

A veteran matchmaker, Taylor has known and had a working relationship with Palicte and his manager, Jason Soong, for the past six years.
“We had a great run," sagde Taylor. “Getting the old team together feels like and old music group coming back for one more hit album. I think we’ve all learned a lot during this experience and realize we are a better unit when this team is together.”

“I am very happy that they still believe in me,” Palcite commented. “I’m excited to make another run for a world title.”

“I am really excited to go on our next title journey at bantamweight with World Cup Boxing Series,” Soong added. “We have been working with Guy Taylor since day-one and it just feels right that we continue our next chapter with him.”

I sin 2016 United States debut, Palicte faced off in Las Vegas with former World Boxing Council (WBC) Do Not. 5-rated contender and North American Boxing Federation (NABF) Super-Flyweight Champion Oscar Cantu (14-0) in Las Vegas Nevada. Palicte defeated the then-undefeated Texan by 10-round split decision to capture the NABF and WBO Inter-Continental Championships.

Nearly one year to the day, Palicte took on former world champion Jose Alfredo Rodriguez (32-6) i Texas, scoring an emphatic 5-round technical knockout victory.

The two aforementioned triumphs set-up the biggest fight in Palicte’s career September 8, 2018, when the stage was set in Los Angeles for an All-Filipino matchup with legend Nietes on HBO for the vacant WBO Junior Bantamweight World Championship.

In a very close and entertaining bout, in which both men had their moments, the judges couldn’t come to an agreement and rendered even scorecards to keep the title vacant. Nietes would claim the vacant title three-months later, defeating Ioka by way of a 12-round split decision.

The WBO ordered a “Title Eliminator” that Palicte won with a second-round stoppage of WBO No. 4 contender Jose Martinez (20-0), setting up a rematch between Nietes and Palicte. Men, Nietes vacated the world title just hours before the scheduled WBO purse bid, positioning Palicte versus Ioka in Japan for the vacant WBO Jr. Bantamweight Championship. In another all-action war, Palicte seriously hurt Ioka in the seventh round, only to get caught himself in the 10th as Ioka caught and wobbled Palicte, prompting the referee to halt the action.

There are some great potential matchups in the bantamweight division for the powerful Filipino, including a showdown with Jason Moloney 22-2 (18 KOS), who is the current WBC “Silver” Bantamweight Champion and WBC #2 contender, but more notably would be against the Bantamweight King Pin and unified World champion (WBA og IBF), Naoya Inoue 22-0 (19 KOS). Palicte is presently ranked No. 9 af det internationale bokseforbund, samt nr. 14 af WBO.

“I feel Aston can compete with anyone at 118 pounds,” Taylor concluded. “He was the strongest contender at 115 and that was after depleting himself. Can you imagine what he will be like at his natural weight of 118? My partner (Terry Hollan) and I are already working on a bout in the late March / early April timeframe and, after that, we would like an eliminator bout for the mandatory position against anyone in the top 15.”
Palicte joins rising Mexican lightweight prospect Luis “Koreano” Torres (14-0, 9 KOS) in the relatively new WCBS stable.

LAS VEGAS (Februar 5, 2022) -Former unified welterweight world championKeith “One Time” Thurmaner tilbage.
 
Thurman proved he is still an elite welterweight, winning a 12-round unanimous decision over former super lightweight world championMario "El Azteca" Barrios in the main event of a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View event Saturday night from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.


“This was a comeback fight after two and a half years away,” said Clearwater, Florida’s Thurman. “I wish I had my best performance, but I did the best I could under the circumstances. “I grade this performance a C+ or B- for myself.”
 
In his first fight in over 30 måneder, the 33-year-old Thurman (30-1, 22 KOS) displayed the attributes that led him to the top of the 147-pound division. Thurman got off to a strong start and never relinquished control, at times punishing Barrios with hard shots.
 
Kvarterer (26-2, 17 KOS) had his moments in his welterweight debut, particularly in the eighth when a left hook to the body caused Thurman to back up. The 26-year-old slugger from San Antonio, Texas also showed grit, gamely fighting back despite Thurman’s heavy artillery.
 
Tonight I showed the Mexican warrior in me. I take my hat off to Keith Thurman, he’s a warrior as well. We gave the fans a great fight,sagde Barrios.


Alligevel, it wasn’t enough to overcome what was a fine performance from the relentless Thurman.
 
“We rocked him. We weren’t able to put him down and out, but we had a great performance and a great fight,” said Thurman.
 
“I want the belts. I want the champions. I want to be back on top, so whoever is willing to send Keith Thurman the contract, let’s go!"
 
In the super featherweight co-main event, four-division world championLeo “El Terremoto” Santa Cruz delivered another vintage performance, overcoming adversity to win a wide 10-round unanimous decision overKeenan “Bedo” Carbajal.
 
“I went good rounds. If I had gone in there and finished him fast, I wouldn’t have gotten the experience I needed,” said the 33-year-old Santa Cruz. “I felt the long layoff a little bit, but I did my best and hopefully the fans loved it and want to see me again.”


Santa Cruz (38-2-1, 19 KOS) suffered a cut underneath his left eye and one along his right eyelid both from accidental headbutts.
 
Undaunted, “El Terremoto” dominated the action, hurting Carbajal (23-3-1, 15 KOS) several times on his way to winning every round on all three scorecards (100-90).
 
“We’re going to go back to the gym, get better and work on what we did wrong,” Santa Cruz said. “We want to unify and defend our title. We want all the champions at 126 pund. "
 
Pay-per-view action also saw rising super welterweight sensationJesus “Mono” Ramos (18-0, 15 KOS) deliver a spectacular performance in the biggest fight of his career. The 20-year-old Ramos remained undefeated by knocking out dangerous veteranVladimir Hernandez (13-5, 6 KOS) på 2:21 of the sixth round.
 
“I was boxing him smartly and I wasn’t really looking for the knockout,” said Ramos. “He’s a tough, durable guy. I broke him down round by round, landing a clean shot that hurt him, so I got the job done.
 
The end came swiftly in the sixth when a Ramos overhand left caused Hernandez to lose control of his legs. Ramos proceeded to batter him to the head and body until referee Mike Ortega mercifully stepped in.
 
“We want to build our resume, like Floyd Mayweather did,” said Ramos. “He had Gatti, Corrales, Castillo and all the guys. That’s something you can’t take away from him and that’s what I want to do. I want to earn my reputation. I’m not here to have Instagram followers. I’m here to make a statement in boxing.”
 
In the pay-per-view opener, former two-division world championLuis “Pantera” Nery droppetCarlos Castro in the first round on his way to a 10-round split decision win in a tactical battle between super bantamweights.
 
“My experience was definitely a factor,” said Nery. “I have three world title fights under my belt and have faced tougher opponents than he has. It showed tonight.”
 
The action heated up in the first when southpaw Nery connected with a straight left that deposited Castro on the seat of his trunks. The Phoenix, Arizona native managed to rise and survive the frame.
 
The bout turned into a chess match in the middle rounds as both Castro (27-1, 12 KOS) and Mexico’s Nery (32-1, 24 KOS) had their moments. I sidste ende, Nery’s defense and accuracy proved to be the difference as he won 96-93 og 95-94 on two cards, while a third judge scored it for Castro, 95-94.
 
“I wanted to show everyone that I’m not just about haymakers,” said Nery. “If I wanna brawl and be tactical, I can do that too.
 
“I knew I could knock him out, but I wanted to win proving I could box too. I would counter-punch and attack the way I wanted to.”
 
Forud for pay-per-view, the PBC on FOX main event sawLuke Santamaria (13-2-1, 7 KOS) overcome a stiff challenge fromAbel Ramos (27-5-2, 21 KOS) to win a 10-round unanimous decision in their welterweight encounter. Following a slow start, Santamaria found his footing, often switching from orthodox to southpaw and having success from both stances. Ramos was game throughout, but all three judges saw Santamaria winning clearly by scores of 98-92, 96-94 og 96-94.
 
I co-main event på FOX, super lightweight contenderOmar “El Relámpago” Juárez (13-1, 5 KOS) won a hard-fought 10-round split decision over Ryan “Cowboy” Karl. Juarez controlled the early action, surviving a mid-fight surge from Karl (19-4, 12 KOS) to walk away with the victory. One judge scored the action 95-94 for Karl while the other two judges had Juarez winning by scores of 96-93 og 95-94.

Toronto’s undefeated light heavyweight Kareem Hackett joins same 3 Point Management stable as 43-0 Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez

Zurdo and Hackett.jpg
(L-R) — Gilberto “Southpaw” Ramirez & Kareem Hackett


LAS VEGAS (Februar 2, 2022) – Undefeated Toronto light heavyweight prospect Kareem Hackett (8-0, 7 KOS) har underskrevet en ledelsesmæssig kontrakt med 3 Point Management (3PM), which also manages 43-0 Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez, the former World Super Middleweight Champion, and today the top-ranked World light heavyweight contender.

“Kareem is a great talent that just needs an opportunity," sagde Ramirez. “He’s been a good sparring partner for me in the past and I’m glad he can be in the same stable as I am, 3 Point Management.”

In Canada, Hackett participated in combat sports like kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, and boxing. He had a 40-6 amateur boxing record, including a pair of Ringside International boxing titles, as well as being crowned a Canadian National kickboxing champion.

Now a resident of Los Angeles, where Kareem trains at Brickhouse Boxing Club, in which “Zurdo” is part of its ownership. Hackett is coached by Ramirez’ head trainer, Julian Chua.

“I met ‘Zurdo’ through Julian,” Hackett explained. “We have the same trainer, Julian. Sparring with ‘Zurdo’ is great. Afterwards, we always talk about boxing. He has a lot of experience and he’s taught me so many different things. It also adds to my competitiveness. I try to bring different things I’ve learned from him into our sparring, and that’s been great for me.

“I work with Julian; he is here in Los Angeles. Because of the pandemic, it’s been complicated for me, so I haven’t been going home a (Toronto) is much as I used to or want to. We’re super spoiled at Brickhouse. I grew up in a classic gym, and I was used to its griminess. I can’t believe how nice Brickhouse is.”

“Kareem is a very skillful fighter that has been under the radar too long,” Chua remarked. “He’s one of the best strategists in the ring I’ve ever seen. We started his professional career together and we’ve built a brother bond. He knows he can trust my eyes in the corner like I can trust his skills in the ring.”

Hackett, 31, is a southpaw from Toronto, who has learned from sparring sessions with world boxing champions such as “Zurdo,” Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin, Sergio Mora, Mathew Macklin, David Benavidez, and Dmitry Bivol. Hackett’s 3PM stablemate, “Zurdo” Ramirez, is the mandatory challenger for Bivol, det regerende World Boxing Association (WBA) Let tungvægts verdensmester.

“What I’ve learned most from sparring all these world champions is, unlike a lot of guys who believe they need to knockout their opponent in one round,” bemærkede Hackett, “it’s not a one-round fight and could go as long as 12 runder. I’ve learned long-term strategy. Boxing is more like a marathon-like mindset than a sprint.”

In his most recent action, Hackett stopped 2-0 Giovanni Lizarraga Garate midway through the opening round last April in Mexico.
Self-described as using a strategic violence style, Hackett is a smart, elusive, accurate, and opportunistic. Sounds as if he’s describing “Zurdo.” “We do have the same coach,” Hackett added.

Hackett’s goals in 2022 includes knocking out each opponent he faces, as well as capturing U.S. or Canadian regional titles. His first fight of 2022 is tentatively set for February 17 in Texas against an opponent to be determined.

“Kareem is a smart, intelligent fighter with a gifted physic to be a force in this game,” Ramirez concluded.

BELLATOR MMA 273: BADER VS. MOLDAVSKY Hovedkortet:
C-Ryan Bader (29-7, 1 NC) besejrede IC-Valentin Moldavsky (11-2) via enstemmig afgørelse (48-47, 48-47, 48-47)

Ryan Bader forsvarer sin sværvægtstitel: ""Naturligvis, det var en rigtig tæt kamp, ​​og til sidst er jeg som en mand, der er en toss up. Jeg følte, at jeg gjorde mere skade, men det føltes så godt i betragtning af, at den sidste kamp var en kamp, ​​jeg tabte. Men det var frem og tilbage, endda kæmpe hele fem runder. Det er bare antiklimaktisk at gå derud og have et spændende sværvægtsmesterskab på fem runder med en hård fyr i Arizona. Jeg ville så gerne!

Jeg er aldrig for selvsikker, går til dommere du ved. Det er første gang i mit liv, at jeg håbede, at de ikke scorede til brydningen. Jeg rokkede ham ret godt med mine slag, og jeg så alting klart. Jeg undervurderede hans spænding, hans kropslås, han blev ved med at træde foran mig med dette mærkelige træk, og han er stærkere, end jeg troede. Jeg er aldrig blevet samlet op som før ... men jeg sagde bare til mig selv at blive ved med at rejse mig og så fortsætte med strejkerne. Til sidst der holdt han bare fast, og jeg landede 20 ubesvarede albuer til hovedet. De kan ikke ignoreres, og så da han gik til scorekortene, Jeg sagde hvem ved nu..."

#6-Benson Henderson (29-11) besejret #7-Islam Mamedov (20-2-1) via split beslutning (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

Benson Henderson efter sejren foran sin hjemby: "Kæmper foran min adopterede hjemby Phoenix, DET, det er fantastisk. Sidste gang gav jeg ikke Arizona et særligt godt show. Denne gang, Jeg troede, jeg havde en bedre præstation, så vind eller tab, jeg vidste, at jeg kunne leve med det. Bare at have en god præstation, ikke en god præstation, men at have en god præstation, i modsætning til at have en dårlig præstation, vinde eller tabe føler du dig altid godt efter gode præstationer. Vi søger perfektion. Hvis du skriver en bog, alle disse journalister, alle disse filmskabere, de vil gøre dem til en del af en film og derefter lave en fantastisk film. Hvis du vil, så skal du gøre dit absolut bedste derude, og derfor er jeg altid efter en bedre præstation.”
"I aften, at få hånden i vejret er fantastisk. Det var første gang, jeg kæmpede foran mine sønner, mine to ældste sønner. Min 6 årig og min 4-årige. I aften var en fantastisk aften, men de er ikke alle gode nætter, så jeg lærer bestemt at værdsætte de gode, når jeg har dem."

"Jeg følte, at jeg gjorde nok for at fortjene at få hånden op, men man ved bare aldrig. Som Burt Watson altid siger, hvis du overlader det til dommerne, de vil få dig til at græde. Han har fuldstændig ret. Så, Jeg vil bestemt aldrig overlade det til dommerne. Når nogen siger split beslutning, er jeg som åh nej, mine drenge er i ringen ... men det var en god nat, så jeg var taknemmelig for det."

Henry Corrales (20-6) besejret Aiden Lee (10-6) via enstemmig teknisk beslutning (29-28, 30-27, 30-27) - (utilsigtet øjenstik)

Henry Corrales efter sin sejr: »Det var bestemt ikke den måde, jeg ville afslutte det her i Phoenix. Fansene fortjener mere, og det er ikke noget imod ham, det er bare en slags sen afslutning, og dette var den sidste kamp på min kontrakt. Dette var min 15. kamp med BELLATOR og min 20. sejr, så der er meget ridning på denne kamp. Jeg havde brug for at gå derud og præstere en god præstation ... jeg prøvede."

Jeg følte ikke, at jeg virkelig prikkede ham for at være ærlig over for dig, og gentagelsen viste, at det bare ikke så så alvorligt ud, som han spillede det ud for at være, men det er øjet, så kun han ved hvor meget det gjorde ondt. Han var super ked af det efter, og jeg var ligesom hey store hund, jeg prikkede dig ikke med vilje. Jeg mener, det er en knytnævekamp! Men, han gik væk fra buret efter, og han optrådte skuffet, da kampen blev stoppet, men mens kampen stod på, kæmpede han ikke rigtig. Hans opførsel var slået fra, og han klynkede lidt ved skud, og det er som om du ikke rigtig skulle, du optrådte bare."

Godmorgen Homasi (16-10) besejret Jaleel Willis (15-4) via indsendelse (arm-trekant) på 1:42 af runde én

Sabah Homasi efter sin submission-sejr: »Det er et af de spark, jeg kastede, jeg har lige sparket hårdt mand. Jeg forventer dette efter hver kamp, ​​men bare en lille hævelse. Det er de samme ting efter hver kamp mand fra alle mine spark."

"Du ved, jeg bare tager, hvad de giver mig. Jeg havde hans ryg, Jeg troede, jeg ville gøre bagenden nøgen. Jeg kan ikke lide at bruge for meget energi på noget, så hvis jeg ikke har det, vil jeg ikke tvinge det. Jeg vil tage noget, der er der, så jeg lod det gå, og jeg satte en lille fælde op. Det er noget, som jeg er gået meget godt over fra bagsiden til det trick, så det var der, og jeg tog det."

"Han sagde noget til mig tidligere, og hvis han siger noget til mig, burde han sige det som en mand. Sig det med dit forbandede bryst, hvisk det ikke. Jeg glemte, hvad han sagde, men jeg fortalte ham, at han ville føle rigtig kraft i aften, og det var det, og så åbenbart hurtig kamp. jeg er rask, Jeg er i god form, skal tilbage i gymnastiksalen, og hver gang BELLATOR giver mig besked, vil jeg give min manager grønt lys."

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez fights back against Dmitry Bivol’s claim of turning down a title fight

Zurdo logo.jpg
LAS VEGAS (Januar 31, 2022) – Back in December, right after Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (43-0, 29 KOS) stopped Yunieski Gonzalez to become the mandatory challenger for World Boxing Association (WBA) Light Heavyweight World Super Champion Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KOS) who suddenly and surprisingly went dark, until he recently make an unsubstantiated claim that “Zurdo” had turned down an offer to fight him.


Bivol was quoted in a recent boxing news report, which was also picked up by other media outlets, siger, “I know for a fact that my team did offer Team Ramirez to fight me December 11th i Rusland, and the purse offered was about the same as what I was offered to fight him on a (Golden Boy Promotions) show. He rejected the offer.”


“I don’t know why he’s saying they offered a fight to me,” Ramirez countered, “but he must be really confused. To be clear there was never a contract that was sent to my team or Golden Boy for a fight; unlike how a contract was delivered to him and his team from Golden Boy for the December bout. I’m confused why he continues to be a pawn and create false narratives and tries everything to hide from this fight. It’s just a matter of time before that belt comes to where it belongs.”


Ramirez, the first Mexican to capture the World super middleweight title, is a former World Boxing Organization (WBO) Champion, who earned his title shot against Bivol by winning his WBA Title Eliminator versus Gonzalez.


“After Bivol, Joe Smith is my next target since he has my belt (WBO) that I had at 168 pounds,” Ramirez remarked. “I am the best light heavyweight out there and it’s not even close. There’s a reason why these champs are scared to call my name, but soon they won’t have a choice. I would end Smith in less than 6 runder. "


Bivol also said in the aforementioned story: “My motivation and my ambitions have not changed for a long time – I want to fight the best. I want to prove that I am the best in my division.”


Guess what, Dmitry, 43-0 “Zurdo” is the best!
