The two winners of the opening round, Dion Jones (7-0, 6 Ko) akElijah Williams (9-1, 3 Ko) face off in an eight-round junior welterweight fight. Both fighters edged out decision wins in September onBOXFEST X.

“It feels good to be back with Red Owl Boxing, fighting on DAZN as the co-main event,"Te di Williams. “This is a big deal for me and a big deal for my city. I am from Newburgh, New York, the bottom of the bottom. All I know is pain and I’m going to show the world better than I can tell them this Friday.”

The fight will mark the first eight-round bout for the 21-year-old prospect who turned pro in 2021 and Jones will be the second undefeated fighter Williams has faced in his young career. Despite the step up in competition, the New York native is confident he is built for the moment.

“I never ever sleep on any opponent and I won’t start now. I look at everyone like they are ‘him’ so that I am mentally strong and prepared,"Te di Williams. “With that being said, I am going to keep it real – Dion Jones is not on my level. My blood, sweat and tears have been spilled in the sport of boxing for moments like this. I am going to take him to deep waters, places he has never been before and see how he functions when the tide gets rough.”

Williams began boxing at a young age and was ranked as high as third in USA Boxing’s Junior Division as an amateur. Younger than Jones by five years, “The Bully” enters the Shadow FightGoods 140-pound tournament final with advantages in amateur experience and height.

“Dion Jones has never been in the ring with someone like me,” noted Williams. “I promise you, I don’t see it going past the sixth round and that is being generous. Stay tuned to this one on Friday night. The whole world will see who ‘The Bully’ is!"

Malik Scott in Zurdo Ramirez’ corner

Kite yon kòmantè
(L-R) – Zurdo Ramirez & Malik Scott

LOS ANGELES (Oktòb 30, 2024) – Former pro heavyweight contender Malik Scott has successfully transitioned from fighter to trainer, and he will be working the corner of reigning World Boxing Association (WBA) Cruiserweight World Champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (46-1, 30 Ko) for his November 16th unification fight with World Boxing Organization (WBO) titleholder Chris “The Gentleman” Billam-Smith (20-1, 13 Ko) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The 44-year-old Scott, who will assist Ramirez’ head trainer Julian Chua, passionately believes that not only will Ramirez defeat Smith, but Zurdo is the No. 1 cruiserweight in the world as well. Scott was Ramirez’ head trainer when Chua was unavailable for Ramirez’ debut as a cruiserweight (Oktòb 7, 2023), in which he defeated former world light heavyweight champion Joe Smith, Jr. (28-4) in a dominant performance by way of a 10-round unanimous decision, winning all but one round on all three of the judges’ scorecards.

Scott and Chua are “in house” trainers at the state-of-the-art Brickhouse Boxing Club in North Hollywood, California.

“Julian is one of the brightest trainers in boxing,” Scott said. “I enjoy learning from him. I had Zurdo for his fight with Joe Smith and he had a good performance. I really enjoy working with him. No disrespect to Smith-Billam, but this fight is a mismatch. Zurdo is a big, strong southpaw who has fought a higher level of opponents than Smith-Billam. Zurdo is a good body puncher who throws punches from incredible angles, and he has an incredible boxing mind. Smith-Billam is big, strong and he keeps coming forward, but he is a one-trick pony. He does have a good trainer (Shane McGuigan), but I think Zurdo takes over in the second half of the fight. And Zurdo has a Dream Team in his corner. I think he will become the undisputed world champion and only Jay Opetaia can give him a fight.”

A product of the fighting city of Philadelphia, Scott was a decorated U.S. amatè boxer (70-3), highlighted by his gold-medal performance at the 1999 National AAU Championships. He went on to have a solid 15-year professional career, which ended in 2016 ak yon 38-3-1 (13 Ko) dosye.

Scott has always studied the sport of boxing and gives it his all every day. There’s no idol worshipping for him, and he takes pride in teaching young boxers.

“A great trainer teaches boxers the why’s and how’s,” Scott explained. “A good trainer just gives instructions. I believe in teaching for a good reason. I study fighters, their styles, and habits, and I go as far as studying the opponent’s corner to learn how they work during a fight. I think everybody working corners should be mic-ed up. I’m confident and want people to hear my advice.”

Scott learned from Fred Jenkins back in Philadelphia and he has studied other trainers such as Barry Robinson, Joe Goossen, and Emanuel Steward, nan mitan lòt moun. Scott was head trainer for Deantay Wilder for his third fight with Tyson Fury. In addition to assisting Chua with Zurdo, they also team, respektivman, as head and assistant trainers of world super flyweight title challenger John “Scrappy” Ramirez (13-1, 9 Ko). They aren’t related but Zurdo is like a big brother and role model for “Scrappy.”

“’Scrappy’ is going to be world champion,” Scott predicted. “His day is coming!”Malik Scott is literally and figuratively in Zurdo Ramirez’ corner.

Super Flyweight John “Scrappy” Ramirez Learned invaluable lessons from his world title loss and will be returning to the ring soon

Kite yon kòmantè
(picture courtesy of 3 PM)

LOS ANGELES (Oktòb 29, 2024) – Super flyweight contender John “Scrappy” Ramirez (13-1, 9 Ko) learned an invaluable lesson last June at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, when he lost for the first time as a professional to Fernando David Jimenez (16-1), by way of a 12-round unanimous decision, for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Flyweight title.

Unless your last name is Marciano, Mayweather, Calzaghe, Lopez or Ward, prizefighters generally don’t retire without a loss on their record. How a fighter responds to his or her first defeat is pivotal, because they either learn from the experience and improve, or go the opposite direction.

“Scrappy” Ramirez is coming back to the ring with a vengeance, as well as a new outlook for the South Los Angeles fighter.

“I learned I have what it takes to be world champion,” Ramirez said. “I took the loss and, instead of complaining, right after that fight I started to think about what had happened and why. I have the skills and I’m capable of being world champion, but I fought his (Jimenez) batay. My next fight I won’t be fighting on emotion, I’ll be using my brain. I need to use my brain, not my heart. It was a good fight and entertaining, but it wasn’t my night. Pèsonèlman, I gained confidence, as crazy as that may sound in a loss. I know I belong here.”

“I want to fix what went wrong. I have high expectations and so do my fans because they see my talent. I’ve only been fighting eight years. I get mad sometimes because I haven’t mastered my craft, but it takes time. I have to keep going and embrace my training.”

For the first time in his relatively short pro career – he made his debut December 18, 2020 – the WBA No. 6 rated Ramirez will be training for the first time after a loss at Brickhouse Boxing Club in North Hollywood, California.

“I’m not training as hard every day because I’m taking better care of my body,” Ramirez explained. “I’ve come up with some new things by studying old-school fighters like Sugar Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns. I’m fine-tuning my skills. I made a mistake fighting with my heart instead of my head. No drastic changes in my training, menm si. I’m working on throwing more counters. I’m a big 115-pounder who just walked down my opponent. I’m going to use my jab – I have a good one – and my feet instead of sitting in the pocket and catching everything.

“It’s all part of the process. I’m not happy it (the loss) happened. I lost my first world title fight and in my second I’ll be the winner and show everybody the type of character I have as a man. I’ll take the next opportunity to show my growth”

According to the 28-year-old Ramirez, the plan is for him to have two more fights, hopefully one by the end of this year, before he’s in another world title fight, preferably against Jimenez, assuming he still has the strap.

“I want a rematch with this guy (Jimenez), partly because he has the belt, but to prove to myself I can beat him,” Ramirez admitted. “He did everything we saw on film: he came forward and didn’t tire. No surprises. I need to fight my fight, not his, to prove myself to the world. ‘Scrappy’ needs to fight his fight!

“I’ve reflected on that fight, and I was capable of beating him. He has a big amateur pedigree, so it was a confidence builder for me in defeat.”

In retrospect, everything may have happened too fast for “Scrappy,” who has only been fighting eight years, including a brief stint as an amateur, and then he was moved quickly in the pro ranks, even fighting several times during the COVID pandemic. Before you knew it, he was headlining shows and found himself in the enviable position as undefeated WBA mandatory contender.

“Everything really happened so fast,” Ramirez concluded, “but I now know that it takes a long time to master my craft. I’m enjoying this process and I’m happy right now. I got used to things happening fast for me. I’m trusting the process. I chose this life.

“I’m not running away from this situation, and I’ll handle it the next time I fight for the world title. I can’t blame anybody for what happened, because once I step into the ring, it’s just me and my opponent. I screwed up but the next world title shot I’ll get it right.”

“Scrappy” Ramirez is a charter member of 3 Point Management (3 PM), which has a growing stable of gifted boxers including WBA Cruiserweight World Champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (46-1, 30 Ko), WBA No. 6-rated super middleweight Darius “DFG” Fulgham (12-0, 10 Ko), and former WBA Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Champion Kareem “Supreme” Hackett (12-1, 6 Ko).

“Yoshida-Metcalf 2” COMPUBOX Numbers Overwhelmingly Contradict the Judges’ Questionable Scoring

Kite yon kòmantè
Twa-fwa, two-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida

CITY NEW YORK (Oktòb 25, 2024) – COMPUBOX numbers from this past Wednesday night’s International Boxing Federation (IBF) Women’s Bantamweight World Championship match between defending champion Miso Yoshida and challenger Shurretta Metcalf clearly do not support the judges’ controversial 10-round unanimous decision in favor of Metcalf.

The judge’s dubious scores of 99-91 (Robin Taylor), Robert Perez (97-93) and Max DeLuca (96-94) awarded Metcalf the disputed victory. The right outcome appeared clear – both in the surprise reactions of Metcalf’s corner and also the thunderous objection from the crowd.

As the scores were read, immediate objections reigned down through the arena as Yoshida and many ringsiders looked stunned.

Metcalf’s unproductive higher work rate of wildly ineffective aggression apparently was favored more by the judges than Yoshida’s well timed and forceful jabs, which set up her more impactful power shots, as well as a much higher comparable percentage of connected punches.

According to COMPUBOX, punch-wise, Yoshida finished the fight ahead 96-64 an jeneral, 49-17 in jabs, 30-16 in body punches and 8-0-2 in a round-to-round breakdown of total connects. Yoshida’s masterful defense kept her opponent at a distance, resulting in a large percentage of Metcalf’s punches falling short of connecting, and striking nothing but air.

An jeneral, Yoshida landed an astonishingly 50-percent more punches (96-64) than Metcalf, in addition to having a much higher accuracy percentage, nearly three times as great at 22-percent to her opponent’s 9-percent.

Considering her 4-inch height and 6 ½ -inch reach disadvantages, Yoshida shouldn’t have been discredited by the judges for her style – fighting on the outside, moving inside to land punches, and then returning to the outside – because it was really the only way she could defeat the much larger Metcalf. Based on COMPUBOX statistics, she did just that and should have had her hands raised in victory.

Putting aside the bizarrely lopsided scores from Taylor, if the other two judges scored the first, sixth and eighth rounds properly based on the COMPUBOX numbers, Miyo would have won the fight by way of a majority decision. Yoshida out-landed Metcalf in rounds one and eight by 100-percent and by 175-percent in round six. Inexplicably, those rounds were scored against Yoshida.

Go here to read COMPUBOX’s complete report: https://beta.compuboxdata.com/

“Yoshida vs. Metcalf 2” headlined the “Heroes on the Hudson 2” card, presented by DiBella Entertainment, which was broadcast live from The Theater at Madison Square Garden on ProBoxTV.

“It was an honor to once again share the ring with Shuretta,” the dejected Yoshita said shortly after the fight, “this time in the mecca of boxing, Madison Square Garden. “I felt I did more than enough to win the fight, and I don’t understand why the judges awarded my opponent for throwing wild punches that never landed and the few that did, had no effect.”

“Having watched it ringside, read disagreement in the boxing media with the outcome and now seeing these lopsided statistics in Miyo’s favor,” Yoshita’s manager Keith Sullivan commented. “It is hard not to question the accuracy of the scoring. Yon 7-3 score is a disturbingly extreme stretch. Nan 9-1 score turned a world championship fight into a tragic farce. This was a disservice to the sport.”

The ProBox TV announcers agreed on air that the 99-91 score was “absurd”. Hall of Fame boxing writer Thomas Hauser, who covered the fight live for www.tss.ib.tv, wrote the following about “Yoshita-Metcalf 2”: “Shurretta threw wild punches from long range all night. When she landed, it seemed almost by accident. The decision could have gone either way. I thought each fighter clearly won three rounds with four rounds up for grabs. 97-93 was a stretch. 99-91 reeked of being an agenda-driven scorecard.

Matt Delaglio was recently named executive director of the New York State Athletic Commission and inherited a job that has long been marked by incompetence and neglect. Delaglio is conscientious and well-qualified for the position. But he has a lot of work to do. One of the things on his ‘to-do list’ should be an overhaul of ring judging in New York. Dwa koulye a, the judging in New York is unacceptable.”

A single mother of daughter Mina, Miyo is known as the “Fighting Single Mother” in Japan, where she is a revered role model. Yoshida received the 2023 Most Inspirational Female Fighter award from The Ring magazine. She moved half-way around the world from Japan to New York City to enhance her pro boxing career, unable to speak English, although she is studying to learn the language.

Combat Sports Trainer Orlando Cuellar to be inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame November 23rd in Tampa

Orlando with belt.png

TAMPA (Oktòb 23, 2024) - Veteran combat sports trainer Orlando Cuellar has had to purchase a larger display case for all the awards he has received during his 40-year career as a combat sports trainer.

Another prestigious award will be added when Cuellar is inducted into the U.S.A. Martial Arts Hall of Fame at a special ceremony on November 23rd in Tampa, Florida.

Cuellar has perfected his craft during the past several decades, starting in Miami, relocating in Las Vegas for a while and then several years in New York City. Orlando made a full circle back to Miami, where he has enjoyed his most success since he created his base there as a world-class professional boxing trainer, renowned strike coach in mixed-martial-arts, and highly respected mentor in bare-knuckle fighting as a trainer. Cuellar has also trained fighters in training camps around the world.

His remarkable coaching career has resulted in building and fine-tuning numerous world champions in boxing, Mma, and bare-knuckle fighting, as well as being the trainer/coach of a record-setting feat when his bare-knuckle fighter stopped his opponent in 3-seconds four years ago for the world’s fastest combat sports knockout.

“I’m truly honored and humbled for this wonderful recognition from the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame with its long history,” Cuellar said. “I’m looking forward to the induction ceremony on November 23rd in Tampa.”

posed picture.jpg

Cuellar was inducted into the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame in 2021 and International Martial Arts Hall of Fame this year, in addition to receiving the Coaches Championship Belt last year from the National Boxing Association (NBA) in association with the World Boxing Association (WBA), selected as the 2004 Trainer of the Year by Boxing Scene, and nominated several times as Trainer of the Year by the Boxing Writers of America Association (BWAA). He also received a Special Achievement Award in 2020 from the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame.

Master trainers like Cuellar teach their fighters, not just instruct them in the corner and hold pads. His experience is invaluable in terms of the overall success of his many combat sports fighters.

Kounye a, Cuellar’s latest project is Gallery Department’s Founder and Artist, Josué Thomas, who is one of Cuellar’s high-profile students, and has his sights set on Celebrity Boxing.
