2021 Highs & Lows for Unbeaten super lightweight “Marvelous” Mykquan Williams

(L-R) – Mykquan Williams & Paul Cichon


HARTFORD (Ottobre 27, 2021) – Unbeaten super lightweight prospect "Meraviglioso" Mykquan Williams (16-0-1, 7 KO) has been on a long, strange trip in 2021, starting with his career-defining victory to date last January, per sfortuna, followed by a car accident resulting in a wrist injury, portando al lancio imprenditoriale della sua merce e dei suoi prodotti "Marvelous", e giovedì scorso è diventato papà per la prima volta.

“È stato molto frustrante,"Williams ha detto del suo infortunio. "Questo è ciò che faccio; Sono un combattente. A volte è stato difficile, e sono stato frustrato per tutto il tempo. Non vedo l'ora di combattere di nuovo, ma devo avere pazienza. Quando sarà il momento giusto e sarò tornato al 100%, Tornerò sul ring, fiduciosamente, all'inizio del prossimo anno. Ora, Devo costruire il mio polso, dal punto di vista della forza.”

Williams ha avuto un incidente d'auto lo scorso marzo 5th, in cui ha riportato una lussazione al polso destro, è saltato a posto quella sera nell'unità traumatologica. La prossima mattina, Williams ha subito un intervento chirurgico per inserire quattro birilli, che lo ha lasciato in una stecca per 11 settimane, fino a quando i perni non sono stati rimossi maggio 15th. Therapy and exercises were all he could do, no boxing at all, until he returned to training, and he threw his first punch only three weeks ago.

When a boxer suffers a serious injury to his hands like Williams, it often leaves questions about his or her boxing future. No different for “Marvelous” Mykquan, as he admits.

“Personally,” Williams explained, “I worry about coming back close to where I was, but I keep faith and keep working. People have been very supportive. Sometimes I think about not being able to box again, but I try not to think about that, but that is positioned in my mind.”

We’re in no rush,” Williams’ head trainer Paul Cichon noted. “We’re doing exactly what his doctors are saying. Credo che tornerà più forte, e più concentrato che mai ora che ha un figlio da considerare. Penso che tornerà forte nel 2022.”

Williams ha approfittato del suo tempo di inattività per lanciare il suo "Marvelous Chili,” così come una linea di abbigliamento e attrezzi “Marvelous”, e sta anche valutando l'acquisto di una proprietà.

La sua vita è stata drammaticamente modificata lo scorso giovedì, quando la sua ragazza, Zuleyma, ha consegnato suo figlio, Attikus Williams, che ha pesato in, come direbbe un presentatore ad anello, un in forma e pronto 9 libbre.

Mentre si prepara per il suo ritorno, Williams e Cichon promuoveranno uno spettacolo amatoriale a novembre 20th in luogo da definire.
"Stiamo ospitando lo spettacolo per aiutare i bambini nella nostra palestra, Manchester ROCS (in CT),” ha rimarcato la Williams promossa da DiBella Entertainment. "Vogliamo fare un paio all'anno".

Il 23enne Williams ha già superato l'omicidio di suo padre quando Mykquan aveva solo uno, oltre ad avere la sua casa di famiglia rasa al suolo 10 anni dopo. Un polso lussato non ha alcuna possibilità di renderlo meno di "Marvelous".

David will battle former champion José Uzcátegui in a super middleweight title eliminator bout that headlines the event, while José faces Argentina’s Francisco Emanuel Torres nell'evento co-principale da 10 round. The Benavídez brothers have their sights set on impressing their hometown fans in long-awaited homecoming bouts November 13, which will mark their first time entering the ring in Phoenix since 2015.

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, che è promosso da Sampson Boxing e TGB Promotions, sono in vendita ora e sono disponibili per l'acquisto tramite Ticketmaster.com.

Here is what the Benavídez brothers, plus their father and trainer Jose Benavídez Sr., had to say from training camp in North Hollywood, California:

DAVID BENAVÍDEZ

“Everything has been amazing in camp. We’re sparring 12-13 rounds and running six or seven miles a day. I’ve worked very hard and I can’t wait to put on a show November 13.

“Uzcátegui is a tough competitor and he was a former world champion, so I have to give him that respect. There are big fights on the horizon for me, so I have to prepare accordingly for Uzcátegui.

“I feel like I’m the better fighter. I have the better skills, more power, more speed and I’m hungrier too. It’s going to be a great night for my team. I feel like I’m going to go in there and get the knockout victory.

“A lot of people in Phoenix are excited for this one. I’m excited to go back. The timing is perfect. Per me, this is the biggest fight of my career. I’m ready for anything that comes my way November 13.

“We’re just focused on Uzcátegui, but of course there are bigger fights for me in the future. If I win this fight, I’m in the number one spot for whoever wins between Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant.

“Facing Canelo would be a huge fight in the super middleweight division, but I have to go out there on November 13 and get this victory first.

“Right now, with the level I’m at, the fighters that I’m seeking to fight are champions and former champions. Whether it’s Canelo, Plant or Jermall Charlo, I feel like we’re all going to end up facing each other at some point.

“Canelo vs. Plant is a great fight for the division. It’s a fight where both guys have a lot to prove. Those kinds of fights tend to bring the best out of everybody. There’s a lot of pressure and a lot of glory on the line, so I feel like they’re going to be the best they’ve ever been. I’m going to be ready for the winner next.

“I’ve been a pro for eight years already. I just want the biggest fights out there. This is the level I’ve been working to get to for a long time, and we’re finally here at this moment. I want to fight the best of the best and prove myself. I want to show that I’m the best super middleweight in the world.

“Uzcátegui is strong and he has a will to win, but I just believe that I have the better skill set. These are the types of fighters that I need to test myself against. Sarà sicuramente una guerra, ma ho intenzione di uscirne vincitore".

JOSÉ BENAVÍDEZ

"È fantastico essere su questa carta con mio fratello, e fare il mio ritorno nella mia città natale. Ci sarà molto supporto per me. È una bella sensazione e non vedo l'ora di dare ai miei fan un grande risultato.

“Ho dovuto fare una pausa, ma ora ho un diverso tipo di mentalità. Voglio solo continuare a combattere, allenarsi e tenersi pronti. Voglio arrivare in cima alla divisione super welter.

“Il ritardo mi ha appena dato più tempo per allenarmi, più tempo per diventare più forti e più tempo per prepararsi. L'ho appena sfruttato al massimo.

"Diventerò un animale nella notte dei combattimenti. Vengo per tutto. Ho fame. Sono stato fuori dal ring per anni, quindi ho bisogno di fare una dichiarazione. Questo è quello che sto cercando di fare a novembre 13.

“Abbiamo una grande squadra qui. Siamo venuti tutti dal nulla e tutti abbiamo iniziato questo viaggio nello stesso momento. Abbiamo imparato giorno dopo giorno ed è questo che rende forte il nostro legame. Senza la mia squadra, non farei boxe.

"Ho molti amici, famiglia e fan che stanno uscendo per il mio ritorno. Questo è davvero ciò che mi motiva. Sono felice che la gente voglia ancora vedermi sul ring.

“Non so troppo il mio avversario, e sinceramente non mi interessa, perché lo sto abbattendo. Non importa chi mi mettono davanti, buona fortuna a loro.

“Dopo il mio combattimento, che finirò presto, Sarò pronto a uscire con mio fratello e a sostenerlo nella sua battaglia.

“Ho passato molto tempo con mia moglie e le mie due figlie durante questo periodo di riposo perché c'erano così tante cose per le quali non potevo essere presente all'inizio della mia carriera. È stato fantastico ma sono entusiasta di tornare. Ho ancora molto da dimostrare".

JOSÉ BENAVÍDEZ SR., Il padre e l'allenatore di David e José

"David sembra molto forte in questo momento. Ad ogni combattimento diventa sempre più forte e matura sempre di più. Sta solo ottenendo la forza del suo uomo, quindi penso che tutti vedranno qualcosa di spettacolare novembre 13.

“Le parole non possono nemmeno descrivere come ci si sente a tornare a Phoenix allenando i miei due figli per questo grande spettacolo. È qualcosa che ho solo sognato. Ora sta succedendo, e siamo super eccitati.

“Devo sempre continuare ad adattarmi e crescere come allenatore. Devo capire che questi sono uomini adulti ora. Ho dovuto smettere di pensare a loro come ai miei bambini piccoli. Cerco sempre di imparare di più in modo da poter supportare le loro carriere nel miglior modo possibile.

"Sono super orgoglioso di Jose per essere arrivato a questo punto dopo il suo infortunio. Tutto ciò che fa ora è solo extra, sta a lui rimanere concentrato e lavorare sodo. È molto forte sia fisicamente che mentalmente ed è per questo che non ho mai rinunciato a lui.

“Ci siamo dedicati e ci siamo sacrificati ogni giorno in modo da poter dare alla nostra gente a Phoenix uno spettacolo davvero bello. Avranno una notte emozionante e non vedo l'ora".

Bellator 269 Interviste post-combattimento

BELLATOR MMA 269: FEDOR CONTRO. JOHNSON PRINCIPALI RISULTATI E CITAZIONI DELLA SCHEDA:

Fedor Emelianenko (40-6, 1 NC) def. Non. 2 Tim Johnson (15-8) e via KO 1:46 del primo round

Fedor Emelianenko:
“Mi sento molto bene. Mi sento bene. Sono passati due anni. Sono felice che tutto sia andato come pensavamo.

“I’m very happy for the fact that we made the audience happy and we delivered such great joy to our fans. To those who follow our career and Bellator events.

“Its much easier for me to perform in America. I don’t have such huge attention, or maybe I do get the attention, but all the events are strictly planned. Here at home all our camp and our preparation for the fight took place under the supervision of media, journalists and so forth and so on.

“Its difficult to say, I think this is one of the most important wins of my career taking into consideration the location, the country (Russia), the age. Taking into consideration the force of Tim Johnson, who is a strong opponent.

“Thank god I’m still in sports and I’m not losing my speed.

“Its difficult to answer the ‘what if’ questions. I would like to say that at this moment I’m not planning on finishing my career. I will talk to Scott Coker and my family.”

Non. 8 Said Sowma (8-2) def. Vitaly Minakov (22-2) via TKO al 3:08 di tre tondo

Said Sowma:
“I couldn’t hit the guy while he was fixing his finger when it was broken. I told the ref that his finger was messed up when he was telling us to keep fighting. I want to fighting him like a true martial artist, not like that.

“I haven’t thought about who’s next, I’m just excited about this one right now. He was a lot heavier than I was, but it wasn’t a fight that I took on short notice. I just wanted a step up in opponents. I believe that if you fight bums your whole life, then you will be a bum. Spero di aver tracciato un percorso per tutti a casa in modo che tu possa ottenere qualsiasi cosa tu abbia in mente, non importa da dove vieni.

"Minakov non mi ha finito in un minuto come fa di solito con i suoi avversari, quindi sono abbastanza felice, ma è stata sicuramente una vittoria un po' agrodolce per me".

Non. 6 Usman Nurmagomedov (14-0) def. Patrik Pietilä (11-9) via presentazione (RNC) a 4:06 del primo round

Usman Nurmagomedov:
"Mi sento bene. Voglio ringraziare Dio per questa vittoria. È stato fantastico combattere qui in Russia. Sono così felice in questo momento.

“Ho sicuramente pianificato di portare questa lotta a terra. Stavo cercando di prenderlo in modo da poterlo portare a terra, dove sapevo di avere un vantaggio.

“Voglio sfidare un grande combattente dopo. Un combattente Top-10 o Top-15, non mi interessa molto, ma voglio un combattente al top. Avrò bisogno di circa una settimana di riposo e poi sarò di ritorno e pronto a partire.

"Non ho ancora parlato con Scott Coker di nulla in relazione ai colpi di titolo. Non so chi vincerà la lotta per il titolo mondiale tra Patricky Pitbull e Peter Quelally, ma prenderò quella cintura e la riporterò a casa con me".

Anatoly Tokov (30-2) def. Sharaf Davlatmurodov (18-4-1) via split decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-29)

Anatoly Tokov:

“Mi sono sentito un po' arrugginito in questa lotta a causa dei due anni di assenza. Sembrava che la mia portata fosse un po' fuori strada. Non è stato uno scontro facile. Sono stato contento che sia andata a tre giri perché mi ha permesso di respirare e mi ha permesso di prendere il controllo della situazione”.
“Nothing was surprising about this fight because we used to train together and I know his strengths and I know that he’s a really serious fighter. It was a true challenge for me, but nothing was surprising about this one. I also wasn’t nervous at all and in fact I knew that I took care of him in each round.”

NEF RETURNS TO MAINE WITH STACKED FIGHT CARD FEATURING FOUR TITLE FIGHTS

NEF RETURNS TO MAINE WITH STACKED FIGHT CARD FEATURING FOUR TITLE FIGHTS

PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO: Portland, Maine (Ottobre 22, 2021) – When the bell rings at 7 pm EST to start the show on Friday, Novembre 5, it will be the first time New England Fights (NEF) has presented a mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event in its home state of Maine in 21 months. Shortly after the venerable fight promotion held “NEF 42” at Merrill Auditorium in Portland on February 8, 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic gripped the state and the nation. The resulting shutdown forced the indefinite postponement of “NEF 43” which was scheduled to take place in Orono, Maine later that spring. With the state not fully opening for combat sports events until well into 2021, NEF decided to turn to neighboring New Hampshire to hold “NEF 44” last summer. “NEF 45: Uprising” on November 5 will see the fight promotion make its long-awaited return to action in Maine, as well as close out its first decade of business. The event will originate from Aura in Portland.

Proprio oggi, NEF announced the full fight card for “NEF 45.” It is scheduled to feature a total of 21 bouts with four championships to be decided.

Nel main event della serata, Josh “Hook On” Harvey(7-1-1) will defend the NEF Professional Featherweight Title against the challenge ofAguilando Brandao(9-8).  Harvey has held the championship since February 2019. Brandao is a tough veteran with more than 15 years of cage experience.

The co-main event will seeMark “Pockets” Gardner(1-2)assumereNick Alley (7-4) in a professional welterweight contest. Both competitors are veterans of global promotion Bellator’s cage. Both will be looking to bounce back from losses in their respective previous bouts.

Zac “Rocky” Richard (0-0) farà il suo debutto professionale controCarl Langston(0-5) after a successful amateur career that saw Richard capture the NEF 155-pound title. Langston seeks his first win as a professional fighter.

In other pro boutsMatt “Ken Doll” Denning(5-10) meets former University of Southern Maine wrestling standoutJon Deupree (0-0) in Deupree’s pro debut, while former NEF Professional Middleweight ChampionCJ Ewer(3-3) battaglieShaun Ray (2-1) in the welterweight division.

The amateur portion of the fight card will be headlined by three title fightsCaleb Austin(5-0) facceTyler Smythe (2-1) for the vacant flyweight beltFelipe Günter(3-0) is scheduled to square off withTeddy Politis (2-0) for the vacant bantamweight championship; eNathaniel Grimard(4-0) will defend his newly-won featherweight strap againstBilly Wilson(6-1).

The sole women’s fight of the evening will also take place on the amateur card asBJ Garceau(1-1) meets the debutingHayley Martin (0-0) in a strawweight bout. Garceau last appeared in the NEF cage three years earlier at “NEF 36.”

“It feels like forever since we had a fight in Maine—and what a card to come back with,"Ha detto il co-proprietario NEF e sensale Matt Peterson.  “So many prospects in this lineup, so many undefeated fighters putting their perfect records on the line, so much at stake for so many impressive athletes putting themselves to the test on November 5th. Four title fights. For headliner Josh Harvey, his next fight could be the last chance to see him compete before he gets the call to the UFC —he’s that close. Leading up to the main event we have several undefeated amateur athletes that are on the cusp of turning pro and trying to follow in Harvey’s footsteps. AURA is the place to be November 5th!"

LOS ANGELES (Ottobre 21, 2021) – Five-time world champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis e incisiva, unbeaten lightweight contender Rolando “Rolly” Romero went face-to-face Thursday at a press conference to preview their showdown for Davis’ WBA Lightweight Championship headlining live on SHOWTIME PPV Sunday, Dicembre 5 at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Davis’ third-straight pay-per-view headlining attraction will see him battle his outspoken lightweight foe Romero, as the 26-year-old power-punchers put their unbeaten records on the line. The event will mark Davis’ return to Southern California after he knocked out Hugo Ruiz in the first round in front of a sold-out crowd in February 2019.

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, che è promossa da Promozioni Mayweather, Promozioni GTD e Promozioni TGB, sono già in vendita e possono essere acquistati presso AXS.com.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from City View Terrace at STAPLES Center:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“I’m thankful to be here to give the fans another great fight. Questo è ciò che facciamo. ‘Rolly’ is just here to talk. He’s trying to talk his way into winning, but he’s scared. Vengo a combattere.

“They only talk about his power, ma questo è il pugilato. His skills are not up to par with mine. He can’t even talk about power, because everyone knows I’m bringing it. You can shoot bullets, but how are you going to defend yourself when the bullets are shot back?

“He’s been talking for a long time. He’s trying to sell a fight, but I’m going to show him that he’s a chump on December 5. I’m not here to talk, I’m here to fight. I don’t take this personally. A me, this isn’t beef, this is business.

“I was on a mission when I fought Jose Pedraza for the title. I didn’t do the trash talking. I went in there and proved that I’m a top guy. This guy is just here to talk. I’m going to do the talking in the ring on December 5.

“His trainer isn’t working on anything but power. They aren’t working on any skills. He hasn’t fought anybody like me and he’s going to see the difference.

“I’ve never once turned down any fight. I’m not scared of anybody. I’m going to fight everybody. I’ll fight a heavyweight. This is nothing to me. I’ve survived a lot of stuff.

“He’s supposed to come here and sell the fight. I’m supposed to win. I’d rather punish him for 12 rounds than knock him out quick. Part of me wants to humble him, but the most important thing to do is just go out there and get the job done.

“This fight is for the fans. The fans are winning December 5. Make sure you come out and support. I’m thankful to be in this position. It’s all about my team and those people who have put me in a great position.”

ROLANDO ROMERO

“Everyone’s going to see December 5, I’m going to knock Gervonta the f*** out. I hope you hear that.

“I’ve been calling ‘Tank’ out since 2017. We were supposed to spar in 2018 and he didn’t show up to the gym. He did that twice because he knew he was getting beat. Dicembre 5, you’re getting knocked out.

“This is just who I am. This is how I was born. I came into this sport at 17-years-old and I’ve made the most out of what I’ve done. Everybody come watch me knock him out on December 5.

“He’s got such a big head, it’s going to be hard to miss it. He gets touched up by every opponent he faces. Leo Santa Cruz was beating him up and Barrios was getting to him too.

“He wants to run out of the ring whenever he gets hit. It happens in sparring and in the amateurs. I was the one who had to force this fight, because I’ve seen for years that he’s a chump. He’s made a career out of beating up 126-pounders.

“He doesn’t know half the stuff that I’ve seen and been through. I’m here to knock him out in the ring. He’s arrogant and tries to act like he’s tough, but I’m knocking him out.

“Manny Pacquiao has an awkward style too, and look at everything he’s accomplished. Just because I fight differently, does that mean I don’t have skills? I have my own skills and they’ve gotten me this far.

“I’m not going into the ring angry, I’m just focused.”

Floyd Mayweather, Presidente della Promozioni Mayweather

“These are two great fighters. And when I say great, I mean that every time they go out there, they produce. ‘Tank’ is a young kid from Baltimore who had a dream. He’s been through a lot. He fought his way to the top. You have to commend him for that. Non importa quello che qualcuno dice, he earned his stripes.

“I believe ‘Tank’ is one of the best fighters in the world. ‘Rolly’ says he wants to fight the best. Come December 5, sarà una lotta infernale.

“’Rolly’ is tough. He’ll fight anybody and that eagerness makes this an intriguing matchup. ‘Rolly’ just wants to prove he’s the best. He’s also a hell of a puncher. Every time we presented an opponent to him, he’s accepted every one of them.

“’Tank’ is doing record-breaking numbers. I always told him it would come in due time. I told him that the same way I sell out arenas, you’re going to do the same thing one day. He had patience and that’s what we’re doing.

“These guys are the future of boxing. I don’t see this fight going the distance. Two undefeated knockout artists. due campioni. Dicembre 5, I’ll see everyone there.”

CALVIN FORD, Davis’ Co-Trainer

“I hope you keep up this talking ‘Rolly.’ We’ll see who’s still going to be talking at the end of the night on December 5.

“Romero has an awkward style, but the beauty of having two coaches with ‘Tank,’ is that there’s nothing we aren’t ready for.

“Having Barry Hunter be a part of the camp has helped calm ‘Tank’ down in many ways. I think everyone will see the beauty of us working together in this fight.

“I don’t train ‘Tank’ for knockouts. I train him to go the distance. He can get you from round 1 a 12. So you better stay sharp.”

Barry Hunter, Davis’ Co-Trainer

“Everyone knows what we’re coming to do. I have mad respect for the other side. Bring your A-game, because we’re definitely going to bring ours.

“We’re born for stuff like this right here. Like everyone said, there’s no way this fight goes the distance.

“Everybody is working hard to be at their best, because we don’t want any excuses after it’s over with. I have faith in Gervonta. I know what he’s going to do.”

BULLET CROMWELL, Romero’s Trainer

“I know what everybody is saying about who the champ is coming into this, but the champ wasn’t born a champ, he had to rise too. Just like a young lion, ‘Rolly’ is ready to rise.

“I’m an L.A. tipo. When we come back here, we’re fighting for a legacy. It’s not just a belt and money.

“I told ‘Rolly’ that Gervonta Davis is standing in the way of changing your family and your legacy. We got a job to do.

“I don’t care about pure boxing or any style. I took karate, street-fighting and boxing, and I put it all together. Combined with a puncher with ‘Rolly’s’ power, and with his grind and grit, it’s a perfect match.

“I have a lot of respect for ‘Tank’ and his team. Lui è un grande combattente, but Rolly is next up. He’s going to be the new WBA champion on December 5.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO di promozioni Mayweather

“We’re excited to bring this huge event to Los Angeles at STAPLES Center on Sunday, Dicembre 5. This is a tremendous matchup and the fans should be excited. There’s a lot of buzz already and tickets are going fast.

“These fighters truly despise each other. It’s rare you see that in boxing. In 2019, me and Floyd were at the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Mikey Garcia and we were talking and all of a sudden Davis and Romero were ready to go at it at ringside. Floyd told them that they could do it in the ring, and now here we are.

“’Tank’ is without a doubt the most exciting fighter in the world. He’s also one of the biggest attractions and one of the best fighters in the world. ‘Rolly’ has let it be known that he’s been ‘trolling’ ‘Tank’ and I’m sure on December 5, ‘Tank’ will be doing whatever he can to shut ‘Rolly’ up.

“’Rolly’ is a very explosive fighter and anytime he steps into the ring, he’s looking to get his opponent out of there. He never lacks confidence and he’s confident that on December 5 he’s getting the job done.

“With two tremendous power punchers like this, there’s no way this fight doesn’t end in a knockout. Tune in December 5 and expect someone to get knocked out.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President of SHOWTIME Sports

“For SHOWTIME Sports, 2021 è stato uno degli anni più forti mai registrati. Abbiamo consegnato un totale di 42 eventi, metà dei quali è finita a eliminazione diretta. A dicembre 5, Mi aspetto che questo non vada lontano, o, con questi due duri.

“Settimana dopo settimana, anno dopo anno, SHOWTIME continua ad essere lo standard di questo sport. Nessuno negli sport da combattimento si sta mettendo meglio, o combattimenti più significativi di noi.

“Quando entriamo da Gervonta 11th combattere con SHOWTIME, non è mai stato giù, e ha continuato a brillare. Quando parlano altri combattenti, "Tank" sta combattendo e sta finendo le arene.

“Anche Rolly non è mai stato abbattuto come professionista. È un battitore duro ed è uno dei migliori talenti della boxe, e lui sarà il primo a dirtelo».

22-1 Jeovanis “Meque” Barraza to headline “Down & Dirty” International pro boxing event

Letterhead.jpg
SALEM, Massa. (Ottobre 20, 2021) — La seconda puntata di “Down & Sporco,"l'unica serie di boxe professionistica in corso nel New England, will be Friday night, Ottobre 29th, al Melrose Memorial Hall di Melrose, Massachusetts.


“Down & Sporco,” presentato da Reyes Boxing, will be headlined by an 8-round main event between Jeovanis “Meque” Barraza (22-1, 15 KO) and Jorge “Tomatito” Martin Garcia (13-7-1, 6 KO) for the vacant ABF Continental Americas Super Welterweight Championship.
Tutta l'azione sarà trasmessa in diretta ed esclusivamente in pay-per-view su https://throwdownsports.com/programs/reyes-boxing-10-29-21, a partire da 6:30 p.m. E / 3:30 p.m. PT, per $29.95.


“We have a great, young pool of talent in challenging fights on this show,” Reyes Boxing promoter Michael Reyes said. “Our “Down & Dirty” series going on in New England. This is our first show in Massachusetts. Nostro 2022 plan is to have series shows in all six New England states. We have some fighters preparing to advance to the next level of competition, as well as young local fighters gaining invaluable experience.”


The reigning Colombian Welterweight Champion, Barraza’s lone loss as a pro was to then pro-debuting Gabriel Maestre two years ago in Colombia to 2-time Venezuelan Olympian Gabriel Maestre, che è ora 4-0 and the WBA Interim World Welterweight Champion. This will mark Barraza’s first fight outside of his native Colombia.


Garcia, a shifty southpaw, will be fighting outside of his native Argentina for the first time as a prizefighter. He has become a South American gatekeeper in the welterweight division.

Popular junior welterweight Joseph Fernandez of St. Petersburg, FL became the ABF champion with an impressive third round stoppage against veteran Jose Forero of Panama.

Light heavyweight Imran “El Toro Arab” Haddabah of St. Petersburg destroyed Los Angeles, CA’s Victor Garcia Rivera in 1 minute and 51 secondi. The heavy-handed Haddabah scored three knockdowns and is now 3-0 with all of his victories coming by first round stoppage.


135 pound up and comer Iron Alvarez of Tampa, FL improved to 14-0 (11 KO) following a hard-fought decision over Miami, FL based Argentinian Jonatan Hernan Godoy, 5-11 (2 KO).


Alvarez had a significant height and reach advantage and peppered Godoy with jabs and straight rights from the opening bell. Alvarez’ repeated blows opened a cut over Godoy’s left eye and helped him score a hard knockdown but Godoy had no intentions of packing it in.


Bleeding and down on the scorecards, Godoy begun pressing the fight and successfully connected with a number of punches to Alvarez’ head.

Junior lightweight Daniel “G.D.F.E.” Bailey of Tampa improved to 8-0 with an impressive six round decision over Aguadilla, Puerto Rico’s Pedro Hernandez. An Army veteran and multi-time amateur champion, Bailey displayed solid skills and looks to be a prospect on the rise.

But I know I’m ready to fight on the big stage and on a card of this magnitude. I fought on the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Shawn Porter undercard and I think this fight night is going to have a similar feel. I’m just prepared to do whatever I have to do to get the victory. The fans should expect fireworks. I’m not shying away from the action and hopefully I can get the winner of Canelo vs. Plant if I perform well on November 6.”

The former WBC Super Bantamweight World Champion, Vargas (34-0, 22 KO) will return from layoff due to injury when he enters the ring on November 6.

“I’m very happy for my return to the ring and my debut with PBC,"Ha detto Vargas. “You are going to see a renewed Rey Vargas on November 6. My opponent is a good fighter with speed who throws a lot of combinations. It will be a tough fight, but I know I have what it takes to win. I couldn’t be happier to be on the big stage on Canelo’s undercard. I know that I have to shine on fight night, take advantage of this showcase, and deliver a great fight for the fans.”

The Baja California, Mexico native Báez (21-4, 12 KO) enters this fight the winner of his last three outings, all coming by TKO. The 26-year-old put together the winning streak after defeats to the previously unbeaten Carlos Caraballo and former title challenger Jason Moloney.

Amongst his stateside outings, Báez dominated former interim champion Moises Flores on his way to earning a unanimous decision in February 2020.

“I’m excited for this great challenge on November 6,” said Báez. “I’m planning on giving the fans a true Mexican war and leaving it all in the ring to get the victory. It’s an honor to fight on the Canelo undercard and I’m going to make the most of it. This is going to be a toe-to-toe war, and I’m going to show that he’s not able to stand up to my power and aggression.”

Rodríguez (11-1-1, 10 KO) burst onto the scene with knockout victories in 10 del suo primo 11 combattimenti. He capped off a five-win 2020 campaign with a knockout of Cameron Krael in October and a decision victory against Luis Alberto Veron four months later.

“I am very thankful to my team for getting me this tremendous opportunity opening up the pay-per-view for the biggest fight of the year,disse Rodriguez. “I have a tough opponent in front of me, but I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m ready to show everyone that I’m the real deal. My goal remains the same, and that’s to win a world title in 2022. Primo, I am just focused on November 6 and making sure I take advantage of the opportunity that a victory will produce on my road to the world title.”

Romero (14-0, 9 KO) diventato professionista in 2017 after fighting for his native Mexico at the 2016 Giochi Olimpici. The 31-year-old dispatched solid veterans Nestor Armas, Nestor Gonzalez and Ranses Payano in 2019, before earning a 10-round decision over Sergio Torres Alvarado in his only 2020 concorso. Romero made it back-to-back 10-round unanimous decision triumphs in April of this year, as he won his U.S. debut by defeating Deiner Berrio. Throughout his extensive amateur career, Romero owns an impressive victory over unbeaten welterweight contender Gabriel Maestre.

“I’m very excited that my team was able to get me this great opportunity to fight on a Canelo show in Las Vegas,"Ha detto Romero. “I feel just as happy and excited to fight as I did for the Olympic games. I’m going to prove what I’m made of on November 6. No matter who my opponent is, I always train hard and prepare to do whatever I can to earn the victory.”
