BANTAMWEIGHT CHAMPION KAM ARNOLD: THE KING IN THE NORTH

There are always burning questions as New England Fights flips the calendar into a new year.

Based on the fan voting at the end of a wild 2018 chiến dịch, one occupies everyone’s mind: What can Kam Arnold possibly do for an encore?

Arnold, a relative newcomer from Casco, Maine, posted the second and third opening-round knockouts of his young career, including an 11-second demolition of David Thompson.

He followed that by fighting Killian Murphy on short notice and earning an unforgettable fourth-round stoppage to win the organization’s amateur bantamweight title at NEF 34 trong tháng Sáu. That decision locked up fighter of the year honors, a distinction that immediately puts the outspoken Arnold (4-0) in some serious company, as he explained in a recent interview on “This Week in MMA” with Craig and Matt Allen of Fight Night Picks.

“It’s crazy, because you know what? I never expected it. The way the polls go, its kind of like a popularity contest. I never thought I was going to get past Ryan Sanders, let alone the fan base that he carries and some of the other guys,” Arnold said. “I know I have a great fan base as well. When it comes down to earning it, in my mind without a doubt I was the most deserving, but I was just happy to be in the ballpark with Ryan. He’s a big name. He’s sculpted his career. He’s been battling to get into the UFC for a while now.”

Arnold already harbors similar expectations for himself. He hinted at a major fight announcement in the near future and sees it as a springboard to his continued meteoric rise.

His scrap with Murphy – a substitute after Arnold spent much of his fight camp preparing for the more wiry Mike Crespo – was a testament to the champion’s focus and single-minded determination.

“They said, ‘You want to fight this?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, that title’s mine, Tôi không quan tâm đó là ai, I’m fighting him.I had two weeks to prepare for Killian, who is a state champ wrestler, so that changed up my game plan, nhưng (I was confident) as long as I imposed my will,” Arnold said.

“That fight with Killian was a very poor performance for me. I feel like that was a really bad showing in my eyes. Did I show a lot of heart? Vâng. And I have a good chin. That’s stuff I feel like I already know about myself. I was very disappointed in myself. Not disappointed in the outcome. So don’t get me wrong, (it was a) great outcome. I’m just a pretty tough critic, I guess.”

When it was over, Arnold was relieved to find an opponent who finally pushed him. He worried that the series of quick wins over Glenn Kasabian, Kyle Kenney and Thompson weren’t conducive to his pursuit of long-term glory.

“It was kind of worrisome honestly, and I’m not trying to make that into a cocky statement at all,” Arnold said. “It was more like, 'ĐƯỢC, when is my test coming, and what is that test going to be like?’ The eyes never left the prize. My goal is to be a world champion.”

Other athletes and teams make the most of so-called bulletin board fodder. Some would say the New England Patriots used it to their advantage in the run to their latest AFC championship. When rivals, journalists or even fans utter words that may be veiled insults, they become motivational medicine.

Arnold is no exception. He heard the whispers that he hadn’t been tested, or that Murphy was a superior wrestler, or that someone able to take away Arnold’s stand-up acumen would enjoy better results.

“I felt in some cases slapped in the face since I first started,” Arnold said. “I think that’s what carries the chip on my shoulder. That’s why I keep on going, keep on going, keep on going.

“Every camp I find that little something to put the fuel to my fire. A lot of people seem to forget, Tôi là một đô vật, quá, and I’ve shown that in the very few fights I’ve had. You look at the blast double that I had on Kyle Kenney. I have very good wrestling (skills). Ask my training partners. So I think a lot of people take my ground game for granted. They’re going to see what my jiu-jitsu is like. Don’t sleep on it.”

Although he has settled into a comfort zone at 135 pounds, Arnold said he isn’t against moving up a weight class or even two if it will help expand his options for opponents.

Being the smaller, underestimated guy doesn’t bother him much: Arnold grew up as the youngest child in a family of all boys. He described it to the Allen’s as a rough upbringing in which the last child in life had no choice but to fight for what he wanted.

“We didn’t get a lot of opportunity to get out and pursue what I thought back then were never-been dreams. Then I hit what I would call rock bottom and I had no choice,"Ông nói. “I’m a hungry, hungry fighter. A lot of guys are in there to compete. I’m not in there to compete. I’m there to put your lights out. tôi muốn thắng. I think that really sets me apart from everybody else.”

While Arnold still is making his mark in the amateur ranks, he considers mixed martial arts his profession and career path.

Beginning with the fight he’s eyeing on the immediate horizon, every camp this year is a likely building block toward those aspirations.

“I’ve been dying for 2019 to come along. It’s nothing but success this year. I can’t wait to turn it up a notch,” Arnold said. “Look for me on the big stage at the end of 2019. It’s coming.”

CONTENDER BILL JONES ON JOSH HARVEY: “HE’S A PRETTY BOY THAT DOESN’T WANT TO GET HURT”

Bill “Jonesi” Jones has seen and done it all during a decorated mixed martial arts (MMA) career that spans back more than a decade. On February 1st, he’ll look to add another noteworthy accomplishment to his deep fight resume when he faces highly touted, undefeated prospect Josh “Hook-On” Harvey for the New England Fights (NEF) professional Featherweight Championship in the main event at “NEF 37: SUB ZERO” in Bangor, Maine. Jones recently discussed his storied record and his upcoming championship bout with Ryan Jarrell and Bryan Stackpole on the Between Rounds Radio podcast.

Jones made his MMA debut in September 2007. Over the course of more than 20-bouts, he fought and defeated a who’s-who of New England’s top-tier combat sports athletes, including multiple opponents that went on to compete in the world’s largest promotions such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Professional Fighters League (formally known as WSOF), và Bellator. Jones holds wins over UFC veterans Matt Bessette and Tateki Matsuda. It’s this experience against high-level competition that Jones believes will give him an edge over Harvey on February 1st.

“I’ve won fights and I’ve lost fights in the Northeast, but a good portion of my fights were top contenders at 155 or 145,” Jones told Jarrell and Stackpole. “Harvey’s never really fought—other than his last fight that he fought to a decision and he didn’t really show anything in—he’s never fought anybody to the caliber of the guys that I’ve fought. Như vậy, I feel really good about that going into this fight.”

“I’m going to bust ass and smash through this guy,” Jones added.

Bill made his highly anticipated debut with NEF in April 2018, finishing Matt Denning in the second round via technical knockout.

“Beating Denning pretty decisively the way I did—it felt good to get back in the win column, but it still doesn’t show me,” Jones said. “I feel like I should have beat him in the first round, not the second round.”

The win set-up Jones for a title match showdown with Aaron Lacey for the vacant professional featherweight championship in November 2018, but the bout was scrapped when Lacey sustained an injury that forced him to withdraw.

“When he backed out, I was super, extremely disappointed,” Jones explained. “I was extremely disappointed… Lacey’s more of a 145-pound fighter. Harvey, if he makes weight at 145, he is going to have a really rough night because it’s just going to be a lot of weight for him to cut. Sau vòng đầu tiên, if he makes it out of it, it’s going to wear on him.”

“In my brain, I knew he [Lacey] wasn’t going to make it out of the first round with me—it was a win,” Jones continued. “It was just one of those fights where you knew, you walked in there, and you walked out victorious. I know it’s a tougher fight with Harvey, but in my mind, it’s the same fight.”

With Lacey currently on the sidelines, Lacey’s teammate, fast rising Josh “Hook-On” Harvey, agreed to step in and put his 5-0-1 record on the line against Jones in the feature fight for NEF’s 2019 return to Bangor.

“Every fight that I’ve watched him [Harvey] cuộc chiến đấu, it seems like he comes out and tries to stand with them, but then as soon as they start throwing back, I feel like he gets nervous and shoots,” Jones said. “So, he flashes off like he’s a standup fighter, but then as soon as they start to attack, he instantly shoots. So that, trong suy nghĩ của tôi, makes me feel like he’s a pretty boy that doesn’t want to get hurt. He doesn’t want to get hit.”

“I feel like he’s going to crumble under the pace that I put on him. I’m a more of an attack, in-your-face fighter and I feel like he’s going to fold under that.”

When “Jonesi” and Hook-On” face-off on February 1st, it will be in the heart of winter in Maine, hence the title of the aptly named event, “Sub Zero.” Unlike many combat athletes that try to avoid cutting weight over the long holiday season, Jones, who works full-time during the day as a roofing foreman supervising a crew of 12 laborers, prefers competing during the winter months.

“Wintertime is always a good time for me to train,” Jones explained to Jarrell and Stackpole. “I get out of work fairly early in the wintertime. We work dark-to-dark in the summer, so I don’t get home until 6, 7, 8 o’clock—so it’s hard to make it to the gym. So winter time is a real good training schedule for me.”

Jones, who normally walks around at 155-pounds despite the admission that he normally “eats out of gas stations” when he’s not in fight camp, predicts no problems whatsoever in terms of making the championship scratch weight limit of 145-pounds. When asked, tuy nhiên, on whether he thinks his opponent will make the weight, he couldn’t express the same confidence.

“I have trouble seeing Harvey making weight for the fight,” Jones said. “I’m going to fight him either way, whatever weight he walks in at. Nhưng, I believe that Lacey is really the one that is in line for it. Tôi có nghĩa là, Harvey hasn’t made weight for a fight at 45 trong một thời gian. The fight he just had with Joe-Joe [Gianetti] that he just kind-of held on to the whole time, he missed weight by four or five pounds…. He’s going to have a tough time making that weight.”

Regardless of the weight, Jones is unwavering in his belief that he has the tools to put the first loss on Harvey’s record. Harvey, not known for losing frequently in any combat sport, was also a multiple-time state champion wrestler.

“I think he’s going to try to wrestle me,” Jones said. “I think he’s going to try to take me down and win by wearing me out… If he lets it stay standing, I’ll probably knock him out in the first round.”

Having kicked a 25-year smoking habit a few years ago, Jones feels revitalized and better than ever and ready for the challenge in front of him on February 1st.

“I really want to win that belt,"Ông nói. “I’m 40-years old. Life moves on and I don’t know how many more years I got to push into the sport, but it’s a good time for me.

“I don’t look at it as a job like everybody else, or something that I dream to do,” Jones explained. “I love to fight. I love the atmosphere of it, I love the competition of it.

“I want to end my career on a high note.”

Dưới đây là những gì các máy bay chiến đấu đã phải nói thứ tư:

KEITH Thurman

We’re back in Brooklyn, it’s been a long time and I’m happy. I feel slim and trim. Everything is great headed into Saturday.

I had a lot of ups and downs, but once we got into camp, we did what we had to do. We slowly improved each day and now we’re ready. It was a slow start, but we’re going to be finishing strong on Saturday.

When I’m outside of the ring, I’m not the jealous type watching other people perform. But I feel better when I’m here living out my dream. These past weeks, I have just felt so good. I feel fantastic and ready to perform. I’m going to be an active fighter and one of the best welterweights in the world today.

My ranking, my ‘0’ and my accomplishments haven’t gone anywhere. I’ve been out of sight and out of mind for a little, nhưng tôi lại bây giờ. You can’t block a star from shining. We’re in the galaxy and shining bright.

I’m definitely interested in a big unification fight with Errol Spence Jr. When I first met Errol at MGM Grand years ago, I told him that it’s nice to meet him and I can’t wait to get in there and scrap it out. I’m humble, but I’m also honest. I’m a man of my word. It doesn’t matter how many years ago that I said it, but from that day to this day, it’s a true statement.

JOSESITO LOPEZ

I’m confident in my abilities. Talk is cheap to me. What other people say makes no difference to me. I’ve come here to do a job and I’m going to do it.

I know that I have a tough task ahead of me, but I also know that I can do it. I can pass this test. I’m ready for it. We’ve prepared right and everything is lined up. We worked hard for 10 weeks and now it’s time.

It’s hard to say if Keith will be my toughest opponent, but he definitely has a great resume and is a great champion. I’ve fought some great guys but I’m taking this as the most important fight of my career.

I think that since I started working with Robert Garcia, all of my skills are on par with Keith Thurman. Quan trọng nhất, I’m a much smarter fighter than I’ve ever been. I’m always going to be courageous in the ring, but we’ve developed a game plan where I take less unnecessary risks.

The most important thing in my game plan is for me to dictate the pace. I need to control the ring throughout the fight. I’m prepared for however he brings the fight.

ADAM Kownacka

It’s going to be a sea of red and white on Saturday. The Polish fans are unbelievable and I can’t wait to go out there and get a knockout for them.

I think I’ve improved my speed heading into this fight. Tôi cảm thấy tuyệt vời. It’s been a long camp leading up to this huge card. I have to come out at my top condition. I made a slight statement against Charles Martin, and I’m going to make a bigger one against Gerald Washington.

I definitely want to outdo the performances of Deontay Wilder and my friend Jarrell Miller against Washington. I want to have bragging rights. I want that knockout.

Washington has fought contenders, good fighters and a guy I lost to in the amateurs in Nagy Aguilera. He’s proven that he’s game, and I’m expecting the best version of him. Tôi sẽ sẵn sàng.

Boxing is a skill, not a bodybuilding contest. I proved my conditioning last fight by throwing 70 đấm một vòng. I’m in ever better shape right and I feel great.

GERALD WASHINGTON

We know where we want to be and we know this is a stepping stone to getting back there. I have to take the hard road and this is it. We’re prepared, we’re ready and I’m looking forward to January 26.

Any of the top heavyweights would be great to fight, but I’m taking it one fight at a time. This is going to be an action-packed fight.

I have the total package. We’ll see everything I learned from my last fights and see if it makes a difference now.

I know that Kownacki is going to come forward. I know what kind of fighter he is. I didn’t come here to lose. I came here to win and get back on the right track and into contention to win the heavyweight title.

Styles make fights. I was doing very well in the Deontay Wilder fight, similar to what Tyson Fury was doing. This is a different type of fight. You’re going to see my skills come to life to contain this man.

Claudio Marrero

We went through a very serious, 10-week camp because we know that we’re here to fight a very strong fighter. I’ve taken everything to the fullest each day with intense work in training camp. Tôi đã sẵn sàng.

We respect our opponent, but he’s coming to our weight division. I’ve been making this weight ever since I was a pro. Trong cuộc chiến cuối cùng của ông, he was dropped by Oscar Escandon, who’s a very good fighter, but he’s a smaller guy.

We believe that this is the beginning of something beautiful. I’m going to be at the top of the rankings after this fight. We believe that winning this fight is going to take us back to the top level.

I understand that this is my time to shine. I’m more focused and dedicated than I’ve ever been and it’s going to show in the ring on Saturday night.

TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR

I feel good and strong. I’ve had a great camp and I’m ready for Saturday night. I’m going to give a great show for the fans in my Brooklyn debut.

I put everything into camp and I’m going to show it in the ring on Saturday night. I’m here to win and show off my athleticism. I believe I can do everything in the ring.

Claudio Marrero is a good tough contender who’s been at this level for quite some time. He’s a good boxer who can punch, so we prepared for everything. He may have more pro experience, but I believe I have more boxing experience than Marrero. I’ve seen everything throughout the world.

Now it’s just a matter of cultivating my skills and experience into becoming a world championship fighter. In this fight, I’m going to dictate the style of the fight. It’s going to go down on my terms.

CHRIS COLBERT

I’m going to go out there and dominate like I always do. I don’t have any resolutions for 2019. I’m just going to do the same thing and keep being great.

New year, same me. I’m out here chasing greatness. I’m looking to keep winning and work my way to a world title. I’m not just talk, I’m the real deal.

I don’t believe that you can be rushed into a world title fight. Tôi đã sẵn sàng. I don’t care if I’m considered a prospect for a contender, I’m just going to show everyone that I’m no fluke. I do this differently.

I always fight for a cause and this time I’ve got my hair dyed pink for breast cancer awareness. It’s for my mom and all of the other survivors and people going through this.

BADOU JACK TALKS MARCUS BROWNE FIGHT, THE CUT THAT BROKE THE INTERNET & UPCOMING MISSION TO THE MIDDLE EAST




Two-Division World Champion Leaves for International Tour and Goodwill Mission on Behalf of Badou Jack Foundation


Visit www.BadouJackFoundation.org for more info


LAS VEGAS (Tháng giêng 23, 2019) – Although two-division world champion Badou Jack dropped a decision Saturday night to fellow light heavyweight Marcus Browne, it was the courage and tenacity that he showed in fighting through what some are calling one of the worst cuts in boxing history that has had the sports world buzzing. Jack has since made it clear that his tenacity and heart is motivated by those who benefit from the work of the Badou Jack Foundation. Jack is set to embark on a goodwill mission to the Middle East today as he couldn’t wait to continue his charitable efforts overseas.


His international itinerary includes trips to the Zaatari and Baqaa Refugee Camps in Jordan and business meetings Dubai and London.


“I don’t just fight for myself, I fight for the refugee children and I was thinking of them,” said Jack. “They come from war and often don’t have any parents, so what’s a scratch on my forehead? They are going through something much worse. You have to keep fighting.”


While many were concerned with the blood that gushed from Jack’s cut round after round, the veteran fighter was able to block it out and continued to fight until the final bell. Although he was taken to the hospital immediately following the fight, Jack was unfazed by the severity of the cut, which was sewn up with nearly 100 stitches.


“I feel great right now. Things like that can just happen in the ring,” said Jack. “It was just some blood. The cut was only bothering me because I couldn’t see too well, but I was going to keep fighting no matter what. This isn’t just any other sport; its boxing. You have to fight through it.”


And fight through he has.


“I was definitely going to make my run like I have in the past,” said Jack. “I think most people in boxing know that this would have been a totally different fight. Đối với tôi, it’s not a big injury. I’m fighting for a bigger cause. Those refugees aren’t going to quit, so I sure wasn’t going to either.”

KIỂM TRA ACID JOYCE FACES CHỐNG LÃO HÓA TẠI Ô2



Cảm giác bất bại của người Anh Joe Joyce đối mặt với Cựu vô địch thế giới Bermane Stiverne

Bảo vệ danh hiệu Khối thịnh vượng chung cùng với sự trở lại của Cựu vô địch thế giới Lee Selby trên DeGale v Eubank Jr khổng lồ. thẻ, Sống dựa vào ITV Box Office

Ngôi sao đang lên nhanh chóng giúp di chuyển không sợ hãi chỉ trong EIGHTH pro chiến đấu để nhanh chóng đạt được Danh hiệu Thế giới

Stiverne nói rằng đó sẽ là cơn ác mộng của Joyce khi anh ấy bị đánh gục

Người quảng bá huyền thoại Don King hứa hẹn sẽ ‘Re Joyce 'khi Stiverne tái hiện chiến thắng của McCall trước Lewis ở London

London(23 Tháng giêng 2019) Poxon Sports và PBC vui mừng thông báo rằng cảm giác nặng ký Joe Joyce sẽ bảo vệ danh hiệu Khối thịnh vượng chung của mình trong cuộc thử thách lớn nhất của sự nghiệp bất bại khi anh ấy có một bước nhảy vọt khổng lồ để đối đầu với Cựu WBC Nhà vô địch thế giới Bermane Stiverne vào thứ bảy ngày 23 tháng 2 tại The O2, phát trực tiếp độc quyền trên ITV Box Office.

Joyce vs. Stiverne, được quảng bá bởi Poxon Sports cùng với Ringstar Sports và Don King Sản xuất, sẽ xuất hiện cùng với sự trở lại của Cựu IBF World Nhà vô địch hạng Featherweight Lee Selby với tư cách là một trong những người hỗ trợ chính các cuộc thi trên một chương trình hành động, tiêu đề với toàn người Anh ly kỳ cuộc đụng độ giữa các đối thủ khốc liệt James DeGale và Chris Eubank Jr.

"Juggernaut" dài 6ft 6in từ Putney, Tây Nam Luân Đôn, đã tiêu diệt tất cả bảy đối thủ của mình kể từ chuyển sang chuyên nghiệp vào tháng 10 2017 sau khi giành được huy chương Bạc tại Thế vận hội Rio và đã tự nhận mình là một trong những tài năng đáng sợ nhất trong bộ phận nặng ký.

Đối đầu với Nhà cựu vô địch thế giới nặng ký Stiverne cho thấy không có thách thức nào là quá lớn đối với Joe khi anh tiếp tục hành quân hướng tới Giải vô địch thế giới hạng nặng. Chỉ cần đặt: Joe Joyce có phải xem TV, vì vậy hãy đảm bảo điều chỉnh vào ngày 23 tháng 2 hoặc đến và xem anh ấy trực tiếp tại O2 ở London!"

Stiverne Dirita, "Tôi đã bảo người quảng bá của tôi, Don King để có được tôi bất kỳ người đàn ông nào trên trái đất và tôi sẽ đấu tranh cho quyền để chứng tỏ bản thân mình với thế giới. Sau đó, điện thoại đổ chuông, đó là Don, anh ấy nói với tôi Joe Joyce – một võ sĩ quyền anh chỉ có bảy hiệp – đồng ý gặp tôi! ‘Bảy cơn?'. Bảy trận đánh nhau và anh ấy có đủ can đảm để đánh bại tôi? Tôi đã dừng lại Chris Arreola, Ray Austin, Kerston Manswell bất bại sau đó – và một võ sĩ quyền anh với bảy lần đánh nhau muốn đánh tôi?!."Tôi đã nói với Don 'Sign nó, lấy nó, lấy nó,' Tôi đã sẵn sàng. Bảy cuộc chiến – và anh ấy muốn đóng hộp cho tôi? Đối với tôi đó là một giấc mơ trở thành sự thật – nhưng đối với Joyce nó sẽ là một cơn ác mộng. Tôi sẽ hạ gục Joe Joyce và bước qua anh ta để KO Anthony Joshua. Tôi đã sẵn sàng và sẵn sàng. Bermane Stiverne thực sự sẽ là ở đó vào ngày 23 tháng 2 và sẽ hạ gục Joe Joyce trên đường đến giành lại vương miện hạng nặng của mình ”.

Huyền thoại của Stiverne người quảng bá Don King, thêm, “Với niềm vui lớn nhất của tôi là Don King Các nhà sản xuất có thể thông báo chúng tôi quay trở lại Jolly Old England – cái nôi của quyền anh” người khổng lồ pugilistic của tôi ở đâu – Cựu vô địch hạng nặng của World Bermane Stiverne bắt đầu sự trở lại của mình với chi phí của Người khổng lồ Joe Joyce. không may, đối với những người hâm mộ địa phương của Joe sẽ không có ‘re Joycing’ – như tôi đã từng – và nhà vô địch tương lai Bermane Stiverne sẽ giết Joyce giống như St. George đã làm con rồng cũ. Nhưng không có vấn đề, chúng tôi sẽ chọn mảnh và mang về Joyce giống như tôi đã mang về và giúp xây dựng nhiều tương lai với nhau. Tôi nhớ lại khi tôi đến đây với Oliver McCall và anh ấy đã không có cơ hội chống lại Lennox Lewis. Sau đó, kẻ kém cỏi trở thành con chó hàng đầu khi Oliver KO là nhà vô địch bất bại trước đó và chúng tôi về nhà với tiêu đề. Lịch sử sẽ lặp lại vào ngày 23 tháng 2 khi Bermane gửi một người Anh bất bại khác để đánh bại. Hiện nay trang bị lại, hồi sức, đổi mới, trẻ hóa và hồi sinh Bermane Stiverne sẽ hồi sinh sự nghiệp của mình vào ngày 23 tháng 2 khi ‘Chúa tể của Nhẫn” nghiền nát “Chúa tể thế giới” – 'Sức mạnh áp đảo” Joyce trong cuộc hành quân không thể lay chuyển của mình để giành lại chức vô địch hạng nặng của thế giới. Chúc phúc cho tất cả những người hâm mộ Anh, Chúa cứu nữ hoàng – nhưng trời giúp Joe Joyce! Hẹn gặp lại các bạn vào ngày 23 tháng 2.”

WBC World Heavyweight Nhà vô địch Deontay Wilder cũng đưa ra suy nghĩ của mình về trận đấu hấp dẫn, ông nói, “Joe Joyce sẽ là một bài kiểm tra tốt cho anh ấy (Stiverne). Tôi đã gặp Joe Joyce trước đây. Anh ấy là một máy bay chiến đấu tốt. Joe Joyce đã chiến đấu Joe Hanks trên thẻ dưới của tôi với Tyson Fury nhưng tôi không có cơ hội gặp anh ấy chiến đấu đêm đó. Nhưng tôi mong được gặp anh ấy đấu với Stiverne.”

Richard Poxon, Vương quốc Anh Người quảng cáo cho PBC, nói, “Tôi đã biết Joe từ những ngày nghiệp dư của anh ấy ở Sheffield. Thành công của anh ấy tại Thế vận hội không làm tôi ngạc nhiên chút nào. Anh ấy đã chuyển đổi tốt cho những người chuyên nghiệp ngay bây giờ và rõ ràng là đang vội vàng. Bộ phận hạng nặng là một mà mọi người đang xem xét lại và tôi hoàn toàn mong đợi Joe sẽ tham gia vào hành động trong năm tới. Chỉ đối đầu với một cựu vô địch thế giới WBC cuộc chiến thứ tám của bạn cho thấy rõ tham vọng của Joe là gì. ”

Kể từ khi bắt tay vào sự nghiệp chuyên nghiệp trong nhiệm vụ trở thành nhà vô địch hạng nặng thế giới, lặng lẽ Joyce đã nói chuyện Joyce đã để cho những nắm đấm hủy diệt của mình làm cho cuộc nói chuyện trở nên táo bạo tuyên bố làm cho thế giới quyền anh ngồi dậy và chú ý đến sự gia tăng nhanh chóng ngôi sao.

Vào Tháng Mười 2017 anh ta các nhà phê bình kinh ngạc khi anh ta chọn chống lại danh hiệu Cựu Anh hùng cứng rắn kẻ thách thức Ian Lewison, người vừa kéo dài cú đấm lớn Dillian Whyte lên mười vòng, cho trận ra mắt chuyên nghiệp của anh ấy và hạ gục anh ấy trong tám hiệp đấu.

Sau đó, chỉ trong lần thứ tư chiến đấu chỉ với 12 vòng dưới thắt lưng của anh ấy và trong bảy tháng quay chuyên nghiệp, Joyce hạ gục nhà vô địch hạng nặng của Khối thịnh vượng chung Lenroy Thomas trong chỉ hai vòng – lập kỷ lục mới của võ sĩ hạng nặng để giành chiến thắng Vành đai thịnh vượng chung.

Trong cuộc chiến cuối cùng của ông, Những người hâm mộ trận đấu của Mỹ đã được nghe thử ngắn gọn về những gì ngôi sao người Anh nói về khi anh ấy vượt qua Joe Hanks trong một hiệp để giành danh hiệu WBA Continental tại Trung tâm Staples ở Los Angeles trong buổi ra mắt lấp lánh của anh ấy tại Hoa Kỳ.

J

oyce, bây giờ được xếp hạng #5 trong thế giới bằng WBA và nhanh chóng tiến tới một danh hiệu Thế giới, những khuôn mặt không nghi ngờ gì nữa, thử nghiệm nghề nghiệp nghiêm túc nhất của anh ấy cho đến nay so với kinh nghiệm dày dặn và người Haiti có trụ sở tại Las Vegas cũng gây tiếng vang lớn không kém, người đã hạ gục 21 đối thủ của anh ấy 25 chiến thắng trong anh ấy 29 chống lại sự nghiệp.

Stiverne trước đây được tổ chức đăng quang WBC trong hai năm sau khi đánh bại Chris Arreola về điểm vào tháng Tư 2013 để giành được danh hiệu và sau đó trong trận tái đấu tiêu diệt anh ta trong sáu vòng trong lần bảo vệ danh hiệu đầu tiên vào tháng 5 2014.

Đá Stiverne rắn sau đó đẩy Deontay Wilder đấm thuốc nổ khoảng cách đầy đủ mười hai hiệp trong lần bảo vệ tiếp theo của cuộc đụng độ danh hiệu WBC World Heavyweight vào tháng Giêng 2015. Stiverne trở thành người đàn ông đầu tiên đưa Wilder vượt xa người mà vào thời điểm đó tiêu diệt tất cả các đối thủ của mình trong bốn vòng. Trong trận tái đấu gần như ba năm sau, Stiverne đã tham gia vào phút cuối khi bản gốc của Wilder đối thủ Luis Ortiz đã thất bại trong cuộc kiểm tra ma túy và do không hoạt động của anh ấy đã bị dừng lại ở xung quanh.

Stiverne hiện đang tìm kiếm để trở lại hạng cân hạng nặng ưu tú và chiến thắng trước Joyce sẽ thúc đẩy anh ấy trở lại ánh đèn sân khấu và tất nhiên hướng tới một danh hiệu thế giới tiềm năng dịp tốt.

DESPITE SETBACKS, NATE BOUCHER IS NOT BACKING DOWN

THÔNG CÁO BÁO CHÍ: Bangor, Maine (Tháng giêng 23, 2019) – Nate Boucher’s journey inside the New England Fights’ (NEF) võ thuật (MMA) cage has not been a course without its challenges and heartbreak along the way.

After winning his first two outings at the start of his amateur fight career, Boucher, a lifelong wrestler, earned a chance to compete for the NEF Flyweight Championship. His title shot came in November 2017 in front of a sold-out crowd when NEF made its highly anticipated Portland, Maine debut. Đêm đó, Boucher was outscored on the judge’s cards and dropped a close, controversial split-decision to NEF veteran Justin Witham. It’s a loss that continues to confound Boucher almost a year and a half later.

“As far as I’m concerned, I won the flyweight title that night,” Boucher stated recently in an interview with Ryan Jarrell and Bryan Stackpole on theBetween Rounds Radiopodcast. “I try to watch that fight and be optimistic the best that I can. I try to watch that fight and be respectful of what the judge’s could have seen. There’s not an absolute bone in my body that sees the fight going the way the judge’s said it went. Điều đó đang được nói, they decided that Justin Witham won that night. He knows I’m coming after him. I’m going to do what it takes to get back into that title conversation and I’m going to get that win back. "

The Witham loss would be followed by two more defeats for Boucher.

In Boucher’s first fight back after losing to Witham, he dropped another split-decision against his hometown wrestling rival, multiple-time state champion, and former NEF Flyweight Champion, Ryan "Gordo" Burgess.

Jumping right back into the cage two months after his loss to Burgess, Boucher sustained the only stoppage defeat on his record when he lost via third-round technical knockout to former bantamweight title contender, Walt Shea, who fights out of John Raio’s First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine.

Last November, down but not out, Boucher rebounded from three-losses-in-a-row by finishing 2018 off with a first-round submission victory over Jordan Young, a state champion wrestler from Belfast, Maine. The contest took place in the 135-pound weight class.

“Jordan was coming off of a win against my teammate—a tough teammate of mine,”Boucher nói. “Not many guys on a three-fight skid would take a fight with a guy coming off of a win and then beat him in the first round. Như vậy, I hope that opened some eyes for people so they know exactly what I’m about and they know that I’m strong mentally.

“I’m very happy with myself that I was able to fight like I train,” Boucher recounted regarding his win over Young. “The cut to 135 isn’t as much as it is to flyweight and I think that played a big part in my cardio. I was in great shape for that fight. Về mặt tinh thần, I knew I was going to win months before the fight happened.”

With six bouts already under his belt, Boucher, at only 22-years of age, knows that he still has limitless room to grow within the sport.

“I’m an amateur,” he noted to Jarrell and Stackpole. “I’m a student of the game and I’m learning and developing my skills. I haven’t even come close to what my full potential is. I knew what I can achieve—I know what is possible if I stay on the path.”

Boucher’s 2019 fight season officially begins on Friday, Tháng hai 1st when he’s scheduled to face newcomer Dillon Henry from First Class MMA. Henry is also a wrestler, having competed for Windham High School. Henry now trains with one of Boucher’s previous opponents, Walt Shea. Regardless of being pitted against the teammate of the only fighter that’s ever stopped him in MMA competition, Boucher stated that he’s confident in the matchup.

“I know he’s going to be training with Walt Shea, chắc chắn,”Boucher nói. “I know that Walt Shea is going to pass down information he feels is going to help him. It won’t… He seems to look like a strong guy. All I am going to do is I’m going to prepare myself and I’m going to become a better fighter in this fight camp and I’m going to go out there and fight him. I think it will go my way, for sure.”

Squaring off in the cage against other talented wrestlers is nothing new for Boucher. He defeated four-time Maine state wrestling champion Jeremiah Barkac by first-round submission the last time he competed in Bangor. Ryan Burgess was a three-time state champion for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine.

“I probably perform at my best against wrestlers,” Boucher stated. “They have really bad habits that a lot of wrestlers don’t seem to be able to shake off their first couple of fights, including myself. Fortunate for me, I have a coach like Jesse Erickson who’s a top-level guy when it comes to the jiu jitsu game around these parts, and he’s shown me the difference between what wrestling the sport is and what wrestling in a fight is. They’re different types of wrestling. I think he’s [Henry] going to expose himself and leave himself open. He’s going to make some rookie mistakes and I’m going to capitalize.”

While the prospect of defeating another wrestler in the NEF cage is an inspiring proposition to Boucher, he’s also excited by the opportunity to once again compete in Maine’s Queen City.

“I’ve never lost in Bangor,” Nate said. “I love that venue. I love the city of Bangor. I’m excited to be there and I’m excited to be sharing a card with some of the monsters that are on it. There’s a lot of great fights on this card and I’m very much looking forward to seeing some of them myself. It’s going to be a great show—I can’t wait.”

“I’m starting to earn my stripes a little bit in the cage,” Boucher added. “I’m starting to get more comfortable. I’m starting to feel more and more like a recognized name in the NEF—and I think all of that is going to play a factor. I think he’s [Henry] bit off a little more than he can chew for his first fight and, không may, he’s going to figure that out very hard on February 1.”

Như 2018 came to a close, Boucher, like many forward-thinking individuals, clearly defined his goals for the year ahead.

“I will be the flyweight champ in the NEF at the end of this year [2019],” Boucher stated confidently. "Không có nghi ngờ gì về điều đó. That’s what my mind is set on right now.

“My teammate, Kam Arnold, he’s going to carry that belt straight through at 135. Man, the two of us together are some bad dudes. I’m fortunate to have him to push me through this mentally and be able to get me on the right mindset of what a champion is supposed to be—and I’m going to be there, right there with him at flyweight. Man, it’s going to be one hell of a one-two punch, chắc chắn rồi."

sự kiện hỗn hợp võ thuật tiếp theo của NEF, "NEF 37: SUB ZERO,” will take place on Friday, Tháng hai 1, 2019 at Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine with a bell time of 8 pm. Tickets are on-sale now atwww.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

Their First BKFC Fight

PHILADELPHIA (Tháng giêng 22, 2019) – The clear “Fight of the Night” về lễ khai mạcBare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) thẻ chiến đấu “BKFC 1: The Beginning” trong tháng Sáu 2018 was a matchup that had the combat sports world buzzing when Joey Beltran scored a decision victory over Tony Lopez in a bloody war. The longtime rivals will pick up where they left off and again face each other, this time on Saturday, Tháng hai 2 như là một phần của “BKFC 4: USA vs. Mexico” sống trên pay-per-view (9 giờ chiều. ET / 6 giờ chiều. PT) from Beto Avila Stadium in Cancun, Mexico.


Tony Lopez and Joey Beltran’s first fight at BKFC 1 was one of the most exciting fights I have ever witnessed and I have been at thousands of them,” said BKFC Founder and President David Feldman. “Sometimes rematches don’t live up to the first fight, but I feel that this one will be even better. I expect great exchanges, lots of action and blood!”

“BKFC 4: USA vs. Mexico” will be broadcast across the United States and Canada, exclusively on pay-per-view through MultiVision Media, Inc., on all major television and streaming distribution outlets for $29.95. It will also be available worldwide via streaming to all in-home and out-of-home connected devices.

By February 3, Beltran and Lopez will have fought each other twice in BKFC competition, but that only tells a fraction of the story of their rivalry. The fighters first faced each other in 2008 như là một phần của “King of the Cage: Opposing Forcein a fight where Lopez forced Beltran into submission in the first round.

Lopez’s victory was his sixth consecutive MMA victory at the time, while Beltran had a four-fight winning streak snapped. Sau khi chiến đấu, both men continued to rack up victories until their MMA rematch in 2009. Despite being dropped early in the fight, Lopez was able to recover and battle his way to a unanimous decision victory in a five-round contest.

While the two men would not square-off again for nearly a decade, they continued to have success in their respective MMA careers. Lopez fought more than 90 times in professional MMA, racking up an impressive 61 tổng chiến thắng, while Beltran would go on to be victorious in UFC and Bellator fights that he competed in through 2016.

Although their two battles had taken place some time ago, BKFC gave them a chance to once again show their skills, but also prove themselves in this rivalry. On June 2, 2018, Beltran was seeking revenge, while Lopez sought to make it three wins against his rival.

Beltran struck the first significant blow, putting Lopez on the ground with an overhand right at the end of the first round as blood began to pour down Lopez’s face. An extremely competitive and tense round two concluded with an ominous stare down.

In the third frame, Lopez began trying to enforce his will on the fight using his size and a powerful sweeping left hook. Beltran continued to work his counters, but accidentally poked Lopez in the eye just over one minute into the round. After Lopez was given time to recover, the action picked up with increased intensity, as the two men stayed close to one another throwing bombs from short range.

After a wild exchange led to a quick referee-ordered timeout to clean the blood off of Lopez, the final moments of the third round showcased a memorable flurry of big punches from massive men who had already spent a significant amount of time in the ring against each other.

More of the same was on display in round four with both men working through large amounts of blood streaming down their faces. The fifth round was another bloody, brutal stanza that saw powerful punches thrown all the way until the end. Although Lopez raised his hands after the final bell rang, it was Beltran who would finally earn a victory against his rival.

On February 2, 245 days after their fight at BKFC 1, Beltran will look to even the score against Lopez, while Lopez hopes to make it a 3-1 advantage and stake his claim as the superior fighter once and for all.

I am prepared to come to Mexico and get a finish and end this rivalry,” said Beltran. “This is the fourth time I have met this man inside of a ring. Each time has resulted in intense violence and entertainment. I expect the same from our encounter at BKFC 4. I am prepared to come to Mexico, get a win and end this rivalry once and for all.

A rematch is a second chance to fix my mistake in our last fight and give my fans in Mexico a chance to see the action up close,” Said Lopez. “I’m going to show the world I belong here in BKFC!”

BKFC 4 will also feature former Ultimate Fighter competitor Julian Lane battling Mexican-American UFC veteran Leonard Garcia,”Queen of Bare KnuckleBec Rawlings defending her title against Puerto Vallarta’s Cecilia Flores, 20-fight UFC veteran Chris Lytle facing MMA veteran Llamas JC, BKFC heavyweight tournament runner-up Sam Shewmaker returning to action to take on Tijuana’s Joel Paredes and former WEC Middleweight Champion and 12-fight UFC veteran Joe Riggs competing in his second BKFC attraction as he faces Mexico City’s HeribertoEl RudoTovar.

LAS VEGAS (Jan. 19, 2019) – All-time great Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao cruised to a comfortable unanimous decision over Adrien “The Problem” Broner to defend his WBA Welterweight World Championship on SHOWTIME PPV® Saturday night in front of a sold-out MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The scores were 117-111, 116-112 hai lần.



The global icon and boxing’s only eight-division champion Pacquaio – who was fighting for the first time as a 40-year-old, and the first time in the United State in more than two years – used effective jabs and sustained body work in his 70th professional fight that was watched by an announced attendance of 13,025 người hâm mộ, including the retired Floyd Mayweather.



“I proved in my last fight against [Lucas] Matthysse and now I proved it again: The Manny Pacquiao journey will still continue,” Pacquiao said.



Asked by SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray if he would like to rematch Mayweather in the future, Pacquiao said he’d do it if Mayweather unretired.



“Tell him to come back to the ring and we will fight,” Pacquaio said. “I’m willing to fight Floyd Mayweather again if he’s willing to come back to boxing.”



SHOWTIME Sports official scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 118-110 in favor of the Filipino Pacquiao (61-7-2, 39 Kos), giving Cincinnati’s Broner (33-3-1, 24 Kos) only the fourth and the 10th vòng.



Broner said he thought he did enough to win the fight. “I beat him,"Ông nói. “Everybody out there knows I beat him. I controlled the fight, he was missing. I hit him clean more times. I beat him.”



Pacquiao maintained a strong pace throughout the fight, sự lột da 47 punches per round compared to Broner, who averaged almost half that output. Broner was limited to single-digit total connects in every round while Pacquiao exceeded double-digits five times.



“I wanted to push more but my trainer said don’t be careless,” Pacquiao said. “Wait for him, counter, and that’s what I did.”



Trong hợp tính năng, Staten Island native Marcus Browne (23-0, 16 Kos) won defeated a bloodied Badou Jack (22-2-3, 13 Kos) by upset unanimous decision for the Interim WBA Light Heavyweight belt. The scores were 119-108, 117-110, 116-111.



Jack suffered a gruesome five-inch cut to his forehead after an accidental clash of heads in the seventh round of the fight. The former Olympian Browne told Gray the head butt did not affect the outcome of the fight.



“He couldn’t find me before that [head butt],” said the 28-year-old Browne, who made his professional debut on ShoBox: Các thế hệ mới following the 2012 Olympics. “He couldn’t find me. I was just too sharp, too slick, too anything. He was coming with his head all night. He kept coming with his head.”



The Las Vegas resident and former two-division champion Jack was taken immediately to the hospital for observation. Jack, who was fighting in his seventh consecutive world title fight, gave all the credit to Browne. “I was flat,"Ông nói. “I don’t know what it was, but no excuses. I would love the rematch. Now I have to rest, get the head fixed and hopefully get that chance in the future.”



Browne was the more active fighter, sự lột da 515 total punches to 303 for Jack. Browne connected on 103 of his power punches compared to just 58 for Jack.



The taller, southpaw Browne said he stuck to his game-plan and peppered Jack continuously with his strong straight left jab. “He thought he was going to take me to deep water and drown me, but I was in shape,"Ông nói. “Teddy Atlas, you think you have the best light heavyweight? (Oleksandr) Gvozdyk, let’s go.



“I just used my athletic ability and did what I do best, and that’s box the hell out of people.”



In a rematch of their close 2012 Olympic showdown, France’s Nordine Oubaali (15-0, 11 Kos) captured the vacant WBC Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision against Cincinnati’s Rau’shee Warren (16-3, 4 Kos). Các điểm số là 117-111, 116-112, 115-113.



“This was my dream,” said Oubaali, who was making his U.S. khởi đầu. “I made my dream come true, my American dream. I want to thank all the people of America and France who supported me.”



By winning the all-southpaw matchup, the 32-year-old Oubaali became the first French-born champion in 11 năm.



The first six rounds were close as both fighters were separated by four or fewer punches. Oubaali controlled the fight in the middle rounds, with SHOWTIME’s official scorer Steve Farhood giving the more active Oubaali rounds five through 10 before giving Warren the close 11th.



“I felt like I was doing pretty good in the beginning of the fight but after the fifth or sixth I let off the gas,” said Warren, a former world champion. “I was using my jab and wanted to finish it with my left hand. The judges saw it the way it was. He wanted it more. You could tell. He had his foot on the gas.”



The seventh round was the most action-packed of the fight with Oubaali going on the attack and hurting Warren by landing effective combinations. Oubaali pulled away in the final six rounds as he out-landed Warren 100-51 in total punches and was the effective aggressor and the more active fighter.



Following the ninth round, Warren’s trainer Barry Hunter could be heard telling Warren he needed each of the final three rounds if he was going to win the fight.



“I put on the pressure,” Oubaali said. “I had the speed. He is a very good boxer – he’s slick, and he’s smart. This is a very big night to win my first world championship.



In the telecast opener, Hugo Ruiz (39-4, 32 Kos) was successful in his featherweight debut as he dominated late replacement Alberto Guevara (27-4, 12 Kos), knocking him down once in the opening minute of the fight and winning easily on all three judges’ scorecards 100-89, 99-90 hai lần.



The fast starting Ruiz, who has 18 previous knockouts in round one, showed his early power and he sent the former two-time world title challenger Guevara to the canvas with a strong right followed by a left uppercut at 1:41 của vòng đầu tiên.



“It was hard for me training for a southpaw and then getting a new opponent I knew nothing about,” said the 30-year-old Ruiz, from Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, who is a former world champion at 122 pounds. “The other guy was a puncher and this guy is a boxer. It’s tough to fight a guy who is just trying to survive out there and running. He came in and got caught early, and that set the pace for the rest of the fight.”



Mexico’s Guevara was fighting on just one days’ notice after Jhack Tepora failed to make the 126-pound weight limit on Friday.



“It was supposed to be a title fight,”Ruiz nói. “I was so disappointed and my mind wasn’t totally in it.
