DESDE LAS ORILLAS DEL LAGO SEBAGO A LA JAULA DE MMA, EL TRABAJO DURO ES UNA FORMA DE VIDA PARA KAM ARNOLD
Lewiston, Maine (Enero 16, 2018) – Kam Arnold podría ser el mejor artista marcial mixto de Maine del reparto central.
Las sensibilidades de los obreros dieron forma a su joven vida. Creció en una pequeña comunidad donde los niños pequeños a menudo tenían que inventar sus propias formas de entretenimiento.. Y si, a veces eso significaba luchar únicamente por luchar.
"Tengo dos hermanos mayores, y amigos que estuvieron todo el tiempo que son como hermanos. Prácticamente los adoptamos, ya sabes?"Arnold dijo. "Y cada vez que tengas esa situación, hay peleas en el patio todo el tiempo. Recuerdo una vez que vi a mis hermanos rodando por las escaleras de la casa, y, por supuesto, tenía que intervenir e involucrarme en eso ".
Arnold, quien cumple 25 este mes, es más estructurado pero no menos apasionado hoy por ejercitar su valor, astucia y fuerza en tales encuentros físicos.
Veterano de uno, victoria rápida por nocaut en la jaula de New England Fights, Arnold regresa por otra dosis el Sábado, Febrero 3 en Androscoggin Bank Colisee. Se enfrentará a Kyle Kenney en una pelea amateur de peso gallo en “NEF 32: Súper Sábado."
Luchando bajo el Jiu-Jitsu brasileño de Maine Central (CMBJJ) paraguas, Arnold causó una primera impresión dramática, despachando a Glenn Kasabian en 1 minuto, 54 segundo.
"Glenn es un tipo duro. Es un guerrero. Es un gran tipo fuera de la jaula. Tengo mucho respeto por él. Quería ponerse de pie conmigo. Es una de las cosas en las que acabo de activar el interruptor,"Arnold recordó. "Es bastante delgado, bastante alto. Entré allí queriendo hacerle saber que estaba en una batalla, y afortunadamente resultó a mi favor. Esa noche fui el mejor luchador ".
Arnold admitió que estaba decepcionado de que el resultado no fuera suficiente para ganar el 2017 “Novato del año NEF” premio. Promete no dejar ninguna duda sobre su potencial en el hexágono local cuando se enfrente a Kenney., un oponente del que sabe muy poco.
"Sí, Estaba bastante desanimado, pero sé que todos los demás se rompen el culo como yo,"Arnold dijo. "Tengo grandes expectativas para mí, y quiero hacer una declaración con esta pelea ".
Un nativo de Casco, a orillas del lago Sebago de Maine, Arnold describe una educación dura que chocó con la bucólica, alrededores trampa para turistas.
La familia de Arnold tenía estrechos vínculos con un club de motociclistas., aunque es reacio a discutir su impacto en su vida, aparte de estar de acuerdo en que mejoró su espíritu de lucha.
"Todos son personas genuinas. Yo diré que. Tengo muchísima gente apoyándome en este. No seria nada sin ellos. Mi padre y mi madre son las dos personas más duras que conozco,"Arnold dijo. "Cuando era niño, Tuve que ser duro. Así es como era. Vengo de una familia de obreros. Realmente no quiero entrar en todos los detalles, pero tuve que ser duro. Me convirtió en lo que soy hoy ".
Además de lidiar con sus hermanos mayores y sus amigos, Desafortunadamente, Arnold fue víctima de circunstancias que son demasiado prominentes en los patios escolares y patios de recreo de hoy..
“Era un niño muy pequeño para mi edad," él explicó. “Me acosaron mucho en la escuela y tuve que encontrar una manera de manejar eso. Desafortunadamente, Me metí en muchas peleas porque tenía que defenderme ”.
Arnold aprendió muchas de esas técnicas de autodefensa a través de su pasión por los deportes de combate..
Se enamoró de la lucha libre profesional., MMA, y especialmente boxeo, aunque "no había muchas opciones para dedicarse al boxeo en la pequeña ciudad de Maine,” él dijo.
Mientras asistía a las escuelas secundarias de Oxford Hills y Lake Region, Arnold se dedicó brevemente a la lucha libre en la escuela secundaria.. No fue hasta la edad adulta que encontró su camino al CMBJJ de Lewiston, una de las instalaciones centrales que ha ayudado a construir la base de talentos de NEF durante los últimos seis años.
"Por supuesto que hay una parte de mí que desearía haber comenzado esto antes, cuando yo era 18 o 19, como muchos chicos,"Dijo Arnold, quien cumple 25 este mes. "Pero estoy agradecido por donde estoy ahora, ya Matt Peterson y NEF por brindar esta oportunidad de demostrar lo que puedo hacer ".
Las habilidades de boxeo y stand-up demostraron el sustento de Arnold en su debut. Espera que la pelea de Kenney le dé la oportunidad de exhibir la gama más amplia de lecciones que ha aprendido de sus compañeros de entrenamiento..
Arnold le da crédito al ex campeón amateur de peso mosca de la NEF, Dustin Veinott, con la mayor parte de su desarrollo..
“Siento que tengo el mejor cuerpo técnico del estado,"Arnold dijo. "Realmente no he tenido la oportunidad de viajar y entrenar, pero tengo tanta fe en los chicos de mi propio gimnasio.
"Dustin Veinott ha sido crucial. Siento que con sus conocimientos puedo ir a donde quiera en este deporte.. Y cuando combinas eso con Jesse Erickson, Travis Wells, Matt Denning, el cielo es el limite. Han puesto su fe en mí, y quiero demostrarles que me lo he ganado ".
Cuando se le pidió una predicción sobre la pelea de febrero, Arnold canalizó de alguna manera la respuesta de Clubber Lang de "dolor" de Rocky III.
"Busca algo de sangre,"Arnold dijo. "Está viniendo. No puedo esperar para montar un espectáculo ".
La campana de apertura Febrero 3 se establece para 7 p.m. Los boletos están disponibles en www.TheColisee.com o llamando a la taquilla al207.783.2009 ext. 525.

VERONA, N.Y. (Jan. 13, 2018) – Unified Women’s Super Middleweight World Champion Claressa Shields dominated previously undefeated Tori Nelson en route to a 10-round unanimous decision in the main event of ShoBox: La Nueva Generación Viernes on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino.
Shields controlled from opening to closing bell, sweeping 100-90 on all three judges’ scorecards in the first 10-round distance fight of her career. La 2012 y 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist out-landed Nelson 225-81 with her total punches, 186-70 in powers shots, and connected at a 44 percent clip with her power shots compared to just 20 percent for Nelson.
“I landed every shot that I thought possible to land,”Dijo Shields. “She was tough, she wasn’t a pushover. She put on a good fight.”
Shields advanced to 5-0 with two knockouts in what was likely her final fight in the super middleweight division. The 22-year-old now has her sights set on the middleweight division where she will eventually target undefeated and Unified Women’s Middleweight World Champion Christina Hammer, who was ringside Viernes en Verona.
“I have to drop down and see how I feel (primero),”Dijo Shields. “I think I could make 160 easy, I’m going to be bigger and stronger than any girl.
“Hammer just wants to scope. I think she’s pretty scared to be honest. She is more worried about me than I am about her. I’m going to kick Hammer’s ass. People think Hammer is more skilled than me so I can’t wait to show her that she’s not.”
Martillo, who is expected to fight in a co-featured bout on the next Shields card, was interviewed by SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood and expressed excitement to make her U.S. debut and eventually face the American champion.
“It’s a great combination me and her on the same card,” Hammer said. “I can’t wait to show the fans who Christina Hammer is. That will be the best fight ever. It will be the game-changer for female boxing. It’s our time to shine.
“I’m long-time world champion and I have more experience. I have longer reach, I’m tall, I have good footwork and better technique than her. I feel the energy, and I can’t wait to fight against her.”
The former world champion Nelson (17-1-3, 2 KOs) became the 173rd undefeated fighter to suffer their first professional loss on ShoBox: La Nueva Generación.
“I’m not happy because I didn’t win, but other than that I thought I executed pretty well,” said the 41-year-old Nelson. “I gave her a better fight than she was expecting.
“No disrespect to Claressa, she doesn’t have great power. She has great speed and she overwhelms you with a lot of punches. My movement threw her off like I knew it would but knowing she was the champion, I needed to just push a little bit more.”
En el ShoBox co-estelar, Jesse Hernandez narrowly defeated Ernesto Garza via split-decision in an action-packed fight that was scored 95-94 Hernández, 95-93 Garza, 97-93 Hernández.
After a close first round, Garza floored Hernandez with a flush left hand to the nose in the closing moments of the second round. Hernandez recovered, and while the middle rounds featured tremendous back-and-forth action, Hernandez seemingly had no trouble walking down Garza, who’s punches seemed to lack any real power. Garza (9-3, 5 KOs) found a second wind and seemed to pick up the eighth and ninth rounds until Hernandez roared back in an excellent 10º and final round that featured 178 golpes totales.
Hernández (11-1, 7 KOs) aterrizado 50 percent of his power punches and connected on 40 percent of his punches compared to just 28 percent for Garza, however he threw just 719 total punches compared to more than 1,000 by Garza.
“I think it should have been a unanimous decision,” Hernandez said. “I’ve always been a slow starter and I feel like I lost the first two rounds, especially with the knockdown. But I won pretty much every round after that, I maybe lost three rounds.
“I’m not completely happy with my performance. I have to control my distance and my range a little bit better. I need to go back to the gym and work on those things. Before the summer comes I hope to have another fight and I hope it’s on SHOWTIME.
“I give Garza a lot of credit for getting in the ring and knocking me down. He hung in there for 10 rounds even after I caught him with some good shots. He was able to withstand those shots, but all that said, I still think it should have been a unanimous decision.”
Garza countered that sentiment.
“I thought it was a bogus decision,” Garza said. “I don’t understand that last judge’s card. I was happy with everything that I did. I executed well and did everything I needed to do to win the fight.
“I’m really disappointed with the outcome. I felt that I won. A mí, I won a majority of the rounds and I knocked him down. I know knocking your opponent down usually leads to you winning the fight.”
Undefeated Uzbekistan power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev handed Sonny Fredrickson the first loss of his career with an impressive third round TKO in the opening bout of the ShoBox transmisión por televisión.
The win over the top-10 ranked Fredrickson extended Ergashev’s perfect record to 12-0 con 12 nocauts.
The 26-year-old pressed the action from the beginning, negating Fredrickson’s five-inch reach advantage with a steady diet of well-timed, crisp punches. Ergashev landed a wide left to the head that stumbled Fredrickson in the opening minute of the third and continued to tee-off as his opponent wobbled against the ropes With Fredrickson (18-1, 12 KOs) unable to defend himself and eating a series of brutal lefts, referee Benjy Esteves stepped in to stop the bout at 1:58 de la tercera.
All of Ergashev’s 61 connects in the bout were power shots, and he connected on 77 percent of his power punches in the third and final round.
“The ref saved him,” Ergashev said. “If he let him stay on his feet any longer I would have knocked him out. He couldn’t handle my power.
“At this stage of my career, I am in the best shape of my life and the best I have felt. This is my time right now, especially because I am training with Rick (Phillips) y (Javan) Azúcar (Mayordomo de la colina). That’s what leads to all of my knockout power.
“I’m ready for whatever comes next. I’m ready for more fights in the U.S., and I want to keep getting more exposure to show off my skills. I’m ready to fight anybody in America.”
Fredrickson, quien se convirtió en el 172 fighter to suffer his professional loss on the prospect developmental series, suffered a jaw injury in the bout and was unavailable for comment.
Viernes de tripleheader will replay on Lunes, Jan. 15 en 10 p.m. Y/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.
