With his return, Chapman immediately became one of the most talked about heavyweight contenders.


Asked whether it is not too soon to fight such a dangerous opponent as Terrell Jamal Woods so early in his comeback, Chapman said with his usual humility, “Jamal Woods is tough and will be a good test for me as I’m rusty and nowhere close to where I used to be. Обаче, if I can’t go through guys like Jamal, I might as well hang up my gloves and retire for good this time.”


Says his promoter Edward Mendy, “JD Chapman is the ‘Next Great American Hope.’ No offense to Deontay Wilder and Andy Ruiz, but no American heavyweight today has a better shot at the world title than Chapman Period. JD has the size, the power, the skills and the experience to take on any of the top five heavyweights today. I’m so pleased with his progress, I would gladly to put him up against any other top ten heavyweight today. Но първо, he has to pass the Wood test.”


Chapman’s next fight, Юли 31, 2021 fight Terrell Jamal Woods, will take place at the River Valley Combat Academy in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

In the process he has accumulated 30 спечели с 26 of the wins by way of knockout (knockout ratio greater than 90%). Също, Chapman has beaten several known contenders and gatekeepers. His most notable opponents were Chicago-based Edward Gutierrez who was 15-0-1 coming into the bout, New York veteran John Carlo who then possessed a 14-1 рекорд, and fellow undefeated Mid-West prospect Matt Hicks then 7-0.


Chapman further captured several regional heavyweight titles including the IBF Southern Regional title, the North American Boxing Council title, the WBC Latino title and the Arkansas State title. Just when it seemed that Chapman was at the cusp of stardom, he hung it all up and rode into the sunset.

ISAIAH STEEN SCORES CLOSE UNANIMOUS DECISION WIN AGAINST KALVIN HENDERSON ON 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF SHOBOX: НОВО ПОКОЛЕНИЕ®

Janelson Figueroa Bocachica Fights Shinard Bunch to a Split Draw in Co-Feature; Martino Jules Registers Unanimous Decision Win Over Aram Avagyan in Telecast Opener on SHOWTIME®

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. – July 23, 2021 - Super middleweight prospect Isaiah Steen остана непобеден, registering a close unanimous decision victory over Калвин Хендерсън на 20тата годишнината от ShoBox: Новото поколение на SHOWTIME® Friday night in front of a raucous Cornhusker crowd at the Heartland Events Center.

It was the 258тата ShoBox show and a night of celebration for the long-running and storied series that began in 2001 and has seen 84 ShoBox alum go on to win world titles. The night consisted of three hard-fought contests featuring young prospects matched tough, which has been a signature of the series for the past 20 години.

Cleveland’s 24-year-old Steen (16-0, 12 Нокаута) won the main event by just two rounds on one scorecard, 96-94, и 97-93 on two other cards against the 31-year-old Henderson (14-1-2,10 Нокаута) от Файетвил, Ark., in the first 10-round fight of both fighters’ careers.

“It was a close decision because in the first few rounds I wasn’t going by the game plan and was just trying to get him out like I usually do in my fights,” said Steen, who is the half-brother of 2016 U.S. Olympian Charles Conwell, who cheered Steen on from ringside. “It would have looked good to have the knockout, but beating him like I did was more amazing.”

Henderson narrowly edged out Steen in two of the three punch-stat categories, out-jabbing him 20% (47-236) към 18% (50-281) and earning a 2% edge in total punches, 28% към 26%. Steen barley nudged past Henderson in the power-punching department, 42% към 41%, with Steen landing 58 на 138 and Henderson 59 на 144.

“I thought it was a close fight and that I lost by a close decision,” Henderson said. “I lost my right hand in Round 4 because I tore my shoulder and from then on, I used the left to try and control the pace.”

Henderson added: “I could have cut the ring off a little bit more. I didn’t want to let him know I couldn’t use my right hand because I knew he would try and take advantage of it. My coach told me to try and fake the right hand like I was going to throw it, and then hit him with the left hand. We followed our game plan, and everything we wanted to do.”

Steen knows his future is bright and he wants to share the limelight with his brother on August 29 as Conwell is fighting on the undercard of a highly anticipated SHOWTIME PPV event in Cleveland.

“I want to get added to the undercard of my brother’s fight on the Jake Paul-Tyron Woodley card in my hometown,"Той каза. “I want to bring it back to Cleveland next month.”

In the co-feature pitting a pair of 22-year-olds, Shinard Bunch (15-1-1, 13 Нокаута) и Janelson Figueroa Bocachica (17-0-1, 11 Нокаута) fought to a controversial split draw in a 10-round welterweight bout. One judge scored the fight 97-93 in favor of Bunch, един 96-94 in favor of Figueroa Bocachica and the final judge 95-95.

Bunch of Trenton, Ню Джърси, and Figueroa Bocachica of Detroit were both close in punches thrown with 399 for Bunch and 390 for Figueroa Bocachica. Bunch used his jab throughout the fight, приземяване 68 на 217 and landed 30.8% от неговите силови удари.

“Of course I thought I won the fight,” said Bunch. “I honestly feel like I won it. Even his coach said I won the fight. I landed the more powerful shots, even boxing-wise; sticking and moving. The only thing I could do better was get a knockout. I feel like I hurt him plenty of times. I don’t know what the judges were watching.”

Figueroa Bocachica said he thought he won the fight. “I felt like he didn’t land anything that hurt me and I applied the pressure. I didn’t agree with the judges, but I’m the fighter not the judge. I could have put pressure from beginning instead of the end. I could have used the jab more. I was being lazy with my right hand because I was going to knock him out. Those are things I need to learn.”

Той добави: “Oh yeah, there will be controversy after this. It comes with the sport.”

The telecast opener featured a highly competitive fight in a battle of unbeatens with Мартино Жул (11-0-2, 2 Нокаута) scoring a unanimous win over ShoBox ветеран Aram Avagyan (10-1-2, 4 Нокаута) in an eight-round featherweight affair. Съдиите вкараха битката 77-74, 78-73 и 79-72 all in favor of Jules.

The 24-year-old southpaw Jules from Allentown, Pa., scored a key knockdown in the last 45 seconds of the eight-round fight. Following a solid counter left hand landed by Jules, Avagyan slipped, stumbling to his knees in what was ruled a knockdown by referee Mark Nelson.

“What a turn of events in the last minute of the fight!"Заяви ShoBox blow-by-blow commentator Barry Tompkins immediately following the knockdown.

“He kept jumping right toward me, so I just kept listening to my corner and going with the left,” said Jules, който кацна 85 на неговата 295 power punches to Avagyan’s 122 на 316. “As soon as he got caught with the left he was off-balance and the left leg slipped and that was it.”

Fighting under the Salita Promotions banner, the 30-year-old Avagyan originally from Yerevan, Армения, and now residing in California, was fighting on ShoBox for the third time and facing his fourth consecutive unbeaten fighter.

Jules knew it was close entering the final round. “I think the knockdown really helped me secure the round,"Той каза. “Once he got knocked down he was rushing in to try and get the back, which helped me since I could control the pace a little bit more.”

International Boxing Hall of Famer Tompkins called the action from ringside with fellow Hall of Famer Al Bernstein and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. Изпълнителен продуцент е Гордън Хол с продуцент на Рич Гоган и Рик Филипс.

Събитието, which was promoted by Marshall Kauffman’s Kings Promotions in association with Holden Productions, Salita Promotions and DiBella Entertainment, brought together fighters from seven different boxing promotional and management teams.

BOSTON (Юли 20, 2021) – Like so many of his fellow Irish boxers, amateur standout Thomas O’Toole is following the green and gold path from Ireland to Boston, after signing a managerial contract with Райън Роуч’s Fighter Locker.


The 23-year-old O’Toole is a promising light heavyweight prospect who captured top honors at the 2019 Irish Elite Championships. Миналата година, the Irish southpaw upset pre-tournament favorite Tony Browne in semifinals of the Irish Elite Championships, and he lost by split decision in the final to Emmet Brennan, who is representing Ireland in Tokyo at the Olympics.


Irish boxers who’ve moved to the Boston area as a base for their professional careers include WBO World Super Middleweight Champion Stevie “Celtic Warrior” Collins (36-3, 21 KOs – 1986-97), WBA World light middleweight title challenger Sean Mannion (42-14-1, 13 Нокаута) - 1979-93), и тежка категория Kevin “The Clones Colossus” McBride (35-10-1 (29 Нокаута) - 1992-2011), best known as the man who knocked “Iron” Mike Tyson into retirement.


“I’ve only heard good things about Ryan, and I like the family aspect he talked about for his fighters,” O’Toole explained why he signed with Fighter Locker. “I know every manager will talk about how they will take care of you, but I really believed you, and I trust you will get a great promoter for me when the time comes. Още, you have some Olympians, so you’re not taking just any and all fighters to sign. You want champions, which was the main thing for me. Knowing I’m in a stable with Olympians/national champions is great.


“I always intended to turn pro after Tokyo and had interest in waiting around for 2024 (next Olympics in Paris). It all worked out. I achieved more than I had hoped as an amateur an at just 23, I can’t wait to see what the next few years bring.”
O’Toole is tentatively scheduled to make his pro debut September 25тата в Бостън.
“Signing Thomas was very special to me,” manager Ryan Roach said. “He is one of the best in Ireland and in a very elite class. We talked a few times and we really hit it off. Миналия петък, he shot me a message saying, ‘I’m all yours.’ I was ecstatic.

He really is a great fighter with a lot of skill. He’s a southpaw with some serious pop. Thomas is very young, so we will see which weight class suits him well. Boxing fans in New England, particularly in Boston, will love him. He’s a great person and fighter.”

Fighter Locker’s growing stable of gifted boxers include California super flyweight Rocco “So Cal Kid” Santomauro (21-1, 6 Нокаута), Troy, NY ABF American West super lightweight Ray Jay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (12-0, 9 Нокаута), ABF USA super welterweight Jimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (18-5-2, 6 Нокаута), ABF American West super middleweight champion “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (8-0, 4 Нокаута), супер петел Daniel “G.D.F.E.” Bailey, Jr. (7-0, 4 Нокаута), лек Леонел де лос Сантос (3-0, 3 Нокаута), а 2-time Dominican Republic Olympian, Boston featherweight Троя Андерсън, Jr. (1-0, 1 KO), pro-debuting Dominican Republic welterweight Juan Solano, Salt Lake City, 2016 Brazilian Olympic silver medalist Yuberjen Martinez, Brazilian Olympian Jorge Vivas, Colorado super middleweight Marvin “Too Much” Cordova, Jr. (23-2-1, 12 Нокаута), West Palm Beach, FL light heavyweight Robert Daniels, Jr. (4-0, 4 Нокаута), Utah brothers, ABF American West lightweight champion Ignacio Chairez (9-0-1, 5 Нокаута) и лек Gabriel Chairez (4-0-1, 2 Нокаута).

ВИДЕО ИНТЕРВЮТА СЛЕД БОРБА ТУК

C-Джулиана Веласкес (12-0) победен #3-Дениз Килхолц (6-3) чрез съдийско решение (48-47, 47-48, 48-47)

Джулиана Веласкес:
“I think I would be clinching a bit more, her striking didn’t surprise me, but I felt that I did enough to retain the title.”

“I beat her with my jab, if you look at her face, it’s messed up, if you look at mine, my face is fine. I think people in the audience favor her because she has a kickboxing style and I counter, but I think it was my boxing that was the difference tonight.”

“When I come in here, I don’t think of myself as a champion, I think of myself as someone who needs to earn the belt and tonight I felt that I did that.”

#5–Tyrell Fortune (11-1, 1 NC) победен #7-Мат Mitrione (13-9, 1 NC) чрез представяне (стачки) при 1:45 на първи кръг

Tyrell Fortune:
“I feel great coming out of the fight. He stepped forward so I went for the shot instead of throwing the punch and I guess I made contact with my head. Besides that I was running through him for the takedown. As you saw, I finished on top, and the fight went from there.

“I didn’t feel it (the clash of heads), I can only go off of what he was saying at the time. Както казах, I was just looking to get on top and continue to fight so I didn’t really know what else to do. I thought if there was a contact that the ref would have saw and we would have stopped that’s why I paused for a second on top of him. I didn’t go right to punching. Once the ref said to continue, I was continuing to fight.

“I want Tim Johnson. I don’t want a title shot. I’d rather have Tim Johnson first. That’s really the only fight I’ve been training for since that loss. За мен, with him taking that loss (against Valentin Moldavsky) and me getting this win, it should line us right up… I’m gonna’ try to knock his a– out just like he did me.”

Matheus Mattos (13-2-1) победен Cee Jay Hamilton (15-9) чрез TKO (стачки) при 1:33 на втори кръг

Matheus Mattos:
“He’s a wrestler. Така, he could have done the boring game and taken me down. But he chose to go for the striking. За щастие, he did it because it was a beautiful knockout. If Bellator could send more strikers to me, then they would be welcomed.”

"Чувствам се страхотно, perfectly strong. But I felt my knee go ‘thwack.’ And I stopped moving a lot. I didn’t do much footwork. I knew this was going to be on my hands, because my leg was painful. Надяваме, everything went well.

“My two losses were to two of the best in the world. Така, I’ve been fighting at a high level a long time and I’m prepared for everyone. They can see that this fight welcomed me to Bellator, и сега ме познават. They know Matheus Mattos is a striker and he’s coming for us.

“I’m in my prime now so I’m prepared for everyone.”

#2–Арлийн Blencowe (14-8) победен Dayana Silva (9-6) чрез TKO (щанци) при 1:00 на три кръгли

Арлийн Blencowe:
"Чувствам се страхотно. I want to give a shout out to my kids at home. I’ve been away from home for nine weeks and it’s the longest I’ve ever been without my kids. Така, this win is for you.”

“I was just trying to gauge my distance. It was starting to be a little bit of a slow fight, so sorry about that fans. I could hear you yelling. But I was determined to keep my pace and not rush into anything. We knew that she swung with power and that the overhand right and the left hook came pretty quick. We’ve been working a lot on kicks, and I’m going to have a lot of bruises tomorrow. And hopefully her calves will be sore too.”

#5-Джони Еблен (9-0) победен Travis Davis (10-5) чрез единодушно решение (30-27, 30-26, 30-26)

Джони Еблен:
“My coaches when I came back to the corner told me not to brawl. Така, I took their advice and I thought I wrestled smart.”

“He was talking s— казвайки, "Хей, let’s brawl in the corner.’ I’m like, ‘Bro, that’s stupid.’ That’s why you’re not where I’m at. Because you don’t fight smart. You’re trying to come out here and brawl. You can do that all you want, but you’re not going to be a world champion like me.”

Предварителен Card:
Said Sowma (7-2) победен Ronny Маркес (19-9) направо KO (щанци) при 1:09 на първи кръг
Коди Лоу (4-0) победен Theodore Macuka (1-1) чрез TKO (щанци) при 1:54 на първи кръг
Diana Avsaragova (4-0) победен Gabriella Gulfin (2-3) чрез съдийско решение (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

WOMEN’S FIGHT WILL MARK THE RETURN OF GLORY WATSON TO THE NEF CAGE

Оставете коментар

За незабавно освобождаване: Milford, New Hampshire (Юли 16, 2021) - New England Битки (NEF) returns with its next event, "NEF 44: Back in Black,” on August 21, 2021, at the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire. The show will feature both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and kickboxing fights. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of a professional women’s strawweight bout to the fight card.Слава Уотсън(0-1) трябва да се срещнеRebecca Brygmann(0-1) при бойно тегло от 115 паунда.

Glory Watson last appeared in the NEF cage in November 2019, suffering her first and only amateur loss in a strawweight title fight to a very tough Cara Greenwell (10-5).  Преди това, Watson had rattled off six wins in a row to start her amateur career, capturing the NEF Women’s Amateur Bantamweight Championship in the process. She made her professional debut during the pandemic on a fight card in Florida, losing via first round submission to Ariana Melendez (1-1).  Watson looks to get her first win as a professional on August 21. She currently represents Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine.

“I am looking forward to returning to the cage for an amazing promotion and to do so against an experienced opponent,” said Watson. “This will be my second professional fight, and I am beyond excited for the cage doors to lock behind me! Wishing my opponent a healthy fight camp and best of skill on August 21st!"

Like her opponent, Rebecca Bryggman will also be looking for the first win of her professional career at NEF 44. Bryggman made her pro debut for national promotion Bellator in a losing effort to Elise Reed (4-0) in October 2019. She was 2-1 като аматьор, undefeated in MMA with her sole loss coming in a kickboxing bout. Bryggman fights out of New York.

“It’s all about divine timing and I’ve been hungry, patiently waiting to get back in the cage,” noted Bryggman.  “Now is the time. A starved animal is a dangerous animal, and I’m that animal.”

Tickets for “NEF 44: Back in Black” are on sale now atwww.NewEnglandFights.com/Tickets/.  The MMA and kickboxing event will take place at the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire on Saturday, Август 21, 2021, със звънец на 7 pm.
