Perfect connection Gilberto“Zurdo” Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

LAS VEGAS (Mai 25, 2021) – Back in February of 2019, World Boxing Organization (WBO-) Super Middleweight ChampionGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez had made a decision to move up to fight in the light heavyweight division, and he was searching for a new head trainer.

Ramirez (41-0, 27 KOs) immediately connected with a then 28-year-oldJulian Chua, a former amateur boxer who had been training boxers atFreddie Roach’s famed Wildcard Boxing Club in Hollywood, California. “Zurdo” and Chua are now 2-0 (2 KOs) and preparing for a mega-fought later this year, ideally, against undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight ChampionDmitry Bivol (17-0, 11 KOs).

How Ramirez ended up with Chua as he head trainer isn’t a typical boxing story. After all, “Zurdo” was the first Mexican world super middleweight champion, sportliche 29-0 pro Datensatz, and only 27 when they first met.

Ramirez’ manager, David Suha, conducted a search to hire Ramirez’ chief second. He had a list that included some of the top trainers in the industry, as well as a young, relatively unknown – at least outside of southern California – in Chua.

“I don’t know how I got on that list,” a humble Chua said. “There was going to be a tryout of sorts to determine who would work with ‘Zurdo.’ We trained together in Long Beach (where Ramirez was training) and then I met with David for coffee. He asked if I was interested in becoming the head trainer. We trained together a little more. He liked the way I trained, and we got along well. I texted David saying we liked working together and that I was interested in becoming his head trainer.

“We clicked right away, and we learned things about each other and how we liked to train. I study a lot and do a lot of research of how he had been trained, because I wanted to help him to improve. I was getting four fighters ready in LA and “Zurdo” couldn’t go there for sparring. I said I couldn’t leave these fighters and go to Santa Barbara. “Zurdo” respected me even more for not jumping ship from those four fighters for a better opportunity. We still wanted to work with each other, and ‘Zurdo’ made it work. I went to Long Beach twice a week, he came to Wildcard three times.”

Ramirez won his light heavyweight debut April 12, 2019, wannTommy Karpency (29-6-1) konnte nach vier Runden weiter, followed last December 18th mit einem 10th round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) Titel.

Chua was trained by Roach when he was an amateur from Indiana, but when Chua started at Wildcard, Roach’s assistantEric Brown became Chua’s mentor. During his training career atWildcard West Boxing, known now as Churchill Boxing in Santa Barbara, Chua has trained several world champions in boxing and MMA.

Der 29-jährige Ramirez, der kürzlich einen exklusiven Werbevertrag mit unterzeichnet hatOscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy-Aktionen, ist derzeit auf Platz Nr. 3 by the WBA and WBO. “Zurdo” returns to action July 9th in Los Angeles dagegenSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs).

Whether it’s Bivol, or the other world light heavyweight champions — Artur Beterbiev undJoe Smith – “Zurdo” and Chua are preparing to beat the best for Ramirez to wear the coveted World championship crown in a second division.

Sobald wir unsere Kämpfer zum Kampf in die USA bringen können, wir werden, und dann sind wir meinem Ziel einen Schritt näher gekommen.“

Marvin Cordova, Jr. & Robert Daniels, Jr. Join Fighter Locker stable

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar
BOSTON (Mai 25, 2021) – Veteran boxer Marvin “Much Too Much” Cordova, Jr(oben abgebildet) and promising prospect Robert Daniels, Jr. (Bild unten) are the latest additions to Ryan Roach’s growing Fighter Locker stable.

"Herr. (Jimmy) Burchfield (Cordova’s promoter) linked me up with Marvin,” Roach said. We had a few short conversations on the phone, and it just happened. Marvin is very passionate about the sport, and he’s read to show the worked he still has a lot left in his tank. He truly is a special fighter with a high-caliber resume including opponents likeVictor Ortiz und joselito Lopez. He has a great team around him now and we are really looking forward to getting him going.

“Robert is a great young man coming from a family just like mine. I am ready to get him going with a great trainer in Kevin Cunningham. I am proud to add him to the Fighter Locker team. He is really a talented fighter that had a few bad breaks early on in his career. He had managerial issues and so forth. Look for Daniels Jr. during the next year!"


The 36-year-old Cordova (23-2-1, 12), is a super middleweight from Pueblo, Colorado. A solid amateur who was a bronze medalist at the 2002 U.S.. Under-19 and 2003 Police Athletic League, Cordova turned pro in 2014, but his pro career has been interrupted because spent 8 years in prison. He also defeated future pro world champion Daniel Jacobs

"Ich bin 36 but a young 36,” Cordova said. “I started boxing at 4. ich hatte 242 amateur fights and was chosen as one of the top amateur boxers in the country. Ich verbrachte 8 years in prison, and it made me a better person and hungrier fighter. I have some unfinished business to take care of. I really beat Joselito Lopez (Lopez won an 8-round decision). I hit him with a big shot in the sixth round, but they let him stay down for 4 Minuten, claiming he was hit low.”

In his last fight this past January, Cordova captured the NBA super middleweight title by stopping 56-30-3 Hector Velazquez in round four, adding to his awards display case that also includes his Interim WBC Youth World, WBA NABA U.S. Halbweltergewicht, and GBU Youth light welterweight title belts.

“Ryan Roach believes in me,” Cordova noted. “I’m stronger and ready for the next step. I had talked with a friend, Jimmy Williams, about signing with a good manager. He told me Ryan was a good manager who loves his fighters and really cares about him. Mein Promoter, ‘Mr. B’ (Jimmy Burchfield), hooked me up with Ryan. He calls to make sure I’m good and he can get me to the elite level once again.”

Daniels (4-0, 4 KOs) is the son of former WBA cruiserweight World champion Robert “Preacher Man” Daniels (49-10-1, 41 KOs), who became world champion in 1989, when he decisioned the future Hall of Famer Dwight Muhammad Qawi |.

“There’s a little bit of added pressure as the son of a world champion boxer,” southpaw Daniels admitted. I’ve heard things like ‘he’s not going to be like his father, he doesn’t have what it takes to be world champion.’”

Now fighting out of West Palm Beach, Florida, Miami native Daniels is now trained byCunningham. Managerial issues resulted in him fighting only four times as a pro during his nearly 5-year career.

“I was introduced to Ryan by my friend, Daniel Bailey (a member of Fighter Locker), and I believe Ryan can get me to a world title,” Daniels remarked. “The main reason I signed with Ryan is I like his personality. He’s easy to talk with and before I even signed with him, he reached out to me to see how things were going. And that’s a big reason why I did sign with him.

“I was supposed to sign with managers are few times, but it never went anywhere, and I wasn’t getting fights. I have this great opportunity now and I’m going to take full advantage of it.”

Fighter Locker’s growing stable of gifted boxers include California super flyweight Rocco “So Cal Kid” Santomauro (21-1, 6 KOs), Troy, NY ABF American West super lightweight Ray Jay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (12-0, 9 KOs), Toronto, Canada welterweight West Haven, CT super welterweight Jimmy "Quiet Storm" Williams (17-5-2, 6 KOs), Supermittelgewicht “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (7-0, 4 KOs), U.S.. Army super bantamweight Daniel Bailey, Jr. (5-0, 4 KOs), leicht Leonel de los Santos (2-0, 2 KOs), ein 2-time Dominican Republic Olympian, Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. (1-0, 1 KO), pro-debuting Dominican Republic welterweight Juan Solano, and Salt Lake City, 2016 Olympia-Zweite Yuberjen Martinez, Utah brothers, super leicht Ignacio Chairez (8-0-1, 5 KOs) und leicht Gabriel Chairez (3-0-1, 2 KOs).

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar
LOS ANGELES, SOWIE (Mai 24, 2021) – One of the most exciting welterweights in all of boxing returns on June 19, 2021, wann Blair "The Flair" Cobbs (14-0-1, 9 KOs), battles decorated amateur and veteran of the sport, Brad Solomon (29-3, 9 KOs). The ten-round bout, taking place at the University of Texas at El Paso’s Don Haskins Center, will air live on DAZN as the first televised fight on the Jaime Munguia vs. Maciej Sulecki Karte.

“I haven’t fought in over a year and it is time for the most electrifying man in all of boxing to give the fans a show,” said Cobbs in-between rounds at his new home, Wild Card Boxing Gym in Hollywood, Kalifornien. “I wanted a tough opponent, and Brad Solomon is just that. His losses have only been to really good fighters and he has over twice the experience as me as a professional, so I am ready to show the world who I am! It’s time for the Wooo man to get busy.”

“Blair is nearing the point to fight some of the world-ranked fighters, the fans love him, he has a great style, and he is a talented fighter,” said Cobb’s manager,Greg Hannley, Vorstandsvorsitzender von Prince Ranch Boxen. “We’re expecting a lot from Blair, and I see him in a big fight amongst one of Golden Boy Promotions best fighters by the end of the year, that is the goal for Blair.”

Cobbs last fought on Valentine’s day weekend of 2020, winning a split decision over Samuel Kotey Neequaye. Cobbs has been out of the ring for a year-plus and has made changes to his team that he feels will help him moving forward in his career.

“I made a decision to move to Hollywood and train with Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Boxing Gym, because I needed a change,” said Cobbs. “Being in the gym with Freddie every day and seeing all the great fighters and new faces has me excited all over again. I really want to make my legacy known as one of the top guys in the sport.”

c-Cris Cyborg (24-2, 1 NC) unterlegen #4-Leslie Smith (12-9-1) via TKO (Streiks) bei 4:51 der fünften Runde

Cris Cyborg nach Titelerhalt:

"Ich wusste, dass sie hart ist und ich habe sie schon einmal bekämpft". Ich kenne sie und respektiere sie und sie ist eine echte Kämpferin. Ich wusste, mit ihr würde es ein tolles Match werden, weil sie fähig und hart ist."

„Ich habe wirklich im Sparring gearbeitet, um weiterzumachen, weil ich wusste, dass es so sein würde. Ich habe gemerkt, dass es mir ein bisschen mehr Spaß gemacht hat. Es wird 16 Jahre als professioneller Kämpfer diesen Monat, also habe ich angefangen, es dort zu genießen."



„Ich habe mein ganzes Leben lang daran gearbeitet, mich zu fassen, aber ich habe einfach das Gefühl, dass ich jeden Tag besser und besser werde. Ich habe einen schwarzen Gürtel, aber es ist wie ein weißer Gürtel, weil ich immer lerne."

„Ich habe das gemacht 16 Jahre, Ich habe vier Titel. Aber bevor du ein G.O.A.T sein kannst. du musst gegen die 'Katze' kämpfen. Also, Ich würde gerne mit Cat Zingano kämpfen und ich werde Scott Coker fragen. Denn bevor du ein G.O.A.T. sein kannst. du musst gegen die ‚Katze‘ kämpfen.“

#6-Leandro Higo (20-5) unterlegen Darrion Caldwell (15-5) via Split Decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

„Auf diesen Kampf warte ich jetzt schon seit drei Jahren. Genau so wollte ich es haben. Ich benutzte mein Wrestling und ich benutzte mein Jiu-Jitsu. Ich bin ein kompletter Kämpfer und ich bin bereit für jeden Kämpfer auf dem Planeten, weil ich glaube, dass ich der Beste bin. Ich wusste, dass ich die erste Runde verloren hatte, aber in der zweiten, als er all diese Ellbogen warf und mich aufschlitzte, Ich komme aus einer armen Familie in Brasilien und das war nichts, was ich noch nie gesehen hatte. Ich fühlte mich glücklich, in diesem Käfig mit Blut über mir zu sein.

„Er hat mich in der zweiten fertig gemacht und ich ging zu einem Kimura, was ich sehr gewohnt bin, aber er hat es umgekehrt, aber dann hat er nichts gemacht und ich habe ihn mit vielen Schlägen auf den Boden geschlagen. Viele Ellbogen und Schläge und ich bin ganz unten geblieben und er hat nichts gemacht. Deshalb habe ich die zweite und dritte Runde gewonnen.“

„Ich denke, dass ich einen Titelschuss verdiene. Ich habe gerade drei der größten Namen im Spiel geschlagen und ich habe gerade einen ehemaligen Weltmeister geschlagen. Und niemand hat die drei besten Jungs dieses Weltklasse-Kalibers so geschlagen wie ich es bei drei Siegen in Folge getan habe. Ich strebe diesen WM-Titel an und das kommt als nächstes für mich. Also machen wir es schnell.“

#3-Austin Vanderford (11-0) unterlegen #4-Fabian Edwards (9-2) über einstimmigen Beschluss (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Austin Vanderford nach seinem einstimmigen Sieg:

„Ich mag meine Kämpfe blutig, egal ob ich oder mein gegner. Ich bekomme einen Schorf. Aber Hut ab vor Fabian, der mich ein bisschen zerschnitten hat. Aber glücklich über den Sieg.“

„Er war ein großer, starker Kerl. Ich fing an zu fühlen, wie er mir diesen Kopf und Arm würgte. Leider, Ich habe kein Kapital daraus gemacht. Aber ich wusste, was ich tun würde. Ich wollte es einfach ausschleifen. Er ist ein guter Stürmer, also musste ich vorsichtig sein, aber ich fühlte mich gut. Wrestling … es ist mein Herz. Ich bin bereit für den nächsten Schritt.“

Jaleel Willis (15-2) unterlegen Maycon Mendonca (11-5) über einstimmigen Beschluss (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)

Hannah Guy (3-1) unterlegen #8-Valerie Loureda (3-1) über einstimmigen Beschluss (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Hannah Guy nach ihrem ersten Sieg im BELLATOR-Käfig…

„Ich hatte das Gefühl, ein wirklich gutes Cardio zu haben, das war super, weil ich mir da echt ein bisschen Sorgen gemacht habe. Ich bin so dankbar, dass sie den Kampf aufgenommen hat und ich bin so dankbar, dass BELLATOR mir diese Gelegenheit gegeben hat.

„Ich dachte, ich würde mit dem Dreieck abschließen (Choke), ehrlich. Sie ist einfach da rausgerutscht, das war super von ihr. Ihre Verteidigung war wirklich gut. Das hat mich echt beeindruckt. Ich wusste nicht, was ihr Grundspiel war, aber es war viel besser, als ich dachte, dass es sein würde.

„Grappling ist genau dort, wo ich sein möchte, wenn du einen meiner anderen Kämpfe gesehen hast. Mein Schlag hat sich jedoch wirklich stark verbessert, also hoffe ich, das zu ändern. Aber Grappling war schon immer meine Stärke. Ich wollte mich nicht nur auf mein Grappling verlassen, aber ich dachte, ich hätte ein paar Mal ziemlich gut geschossen. In diesem Kampf dachte ich, ich könnte sehen, wann die Schläge kommen. Und ich konnte etwas besser verteidigen und wie bin ich gewachsen. Deshalb bin ich gerade wirklich stolz auf mich.“

The card emanates from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. and airs live on SHOWTIME at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Begrenzte Anzahl Tickets ab $60 go on sale beginning Friday, Juni 4, with a special presale starting on Thursday, Juni 3 von 10 a.m. bis 10 p.m. UND, and can be purchased at Ticketmaster and Bellator.com.

Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Brasilien, the 34-year-old Velasquez makes the first defense of her flyweight title since dethroning inaugural champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane bei Bellator 254 in December of last year. Sitting in the No. 2 slot on the BELLATOR women’s pound-for-pound rankings, Velasquez is a former Brazilian national champion in judo, a martial arts discipline she began training at age four. The Team Nogueira product has been a dominant force throughout her unblemished 11-fight professional career, including six wins under the BELLATOR banner.

“I’m extremely excited and happy to get back in the BELLATOR cage and defend my title for the first time,Sagte Velasquez. “I’ve been training really hard, and I’m fully prepared to put on an incredible performance for my fans. Denise has been a great champion in the BELLATOR kickboxing ring, but this MMA belt is mine and it will be going back to Brazil with me after the fight.”

Already the reigning BELLATOR Kickboxing Flyweight World Champion, Kielholtz is looking to capture the promotion’s MMA gold as well when she straps on the BELLATOR MMA gloves for the seventh time. The Dutch striking sensation, known to fans as “Miss Dynamite,” is riding a four-fight MMA winning streak, including a first round knockout over former title challenger Kate Jackson bei Bellator 247 im Oktober letzten Jahres. Much like her opponent, the 32-year-old Kielholtz holds a black belt in judo with multiple titles as a member of the Dutch National Judo Team.

“This is the moment I’ve been waiting for since I was a child,” said Kielholtz. “My journey in martial arts started when I was nine years old. I have earned multiple championships from kickboxing and judo and I feel like the universe has put everything together. All the hard work, all the sacrifices I have made in my life have all led me to this opportunity. This will be the crowning achievement of my career. This is mine.”

“I took this fight because I want to be great. All the other big names at lightweight had scheduled fights so I felt like I wanted to go out and beat the best fighter out there for me.

“Even if he is bigger than me on fight night, es spielt keine rolle. This is all part of the sport. My goal is to break him down. If I can get him out of there, I’ll get him out of there. If it goes 12 Runde, so soll es sein. He’s big and strong, but he’s never faced anyone like me.

“We have to wait and see what happens on fight night. Different styles dictate what I need to show in the fight. We’ll see what he brings to the table, and then we’ll capitalize off of it.

“I’m not worried about losing any speed by adding weight. I’m going to be quick regardless. I think I’m going to be at my best at 140-pounds.

“Like all of the rest of my fights, this is going to be action packed. Don’t go get popcorn during the fight, because it could end at any moment. I bring what boxing needs, and that’s excitement. We all know when I fight, it’s never a boring fight. Von der ersten Runde, until whenever it ends, I just keep coming, in all of my fights. That’s what you’re going to see June 26.”

MARIO BARRIOS

“This is a huge opportunity for me. ‘Tank’ called me out. I know he’s trying to do something great, but this is a dangerous fight for him. It’s going to be an action-packed fight. We’ve never faced fighters like each other before. We’re going to see on June 26 if it’s the right move for him.

“I fight to represent my city and my people. I’m going to go out there and do my best to make everybody proud.

“They might be looking at my fight against Batyr Akhmedov closely. But I think he has a totally different style and that this fight will be different than what they expect if they just watch that match. I don’t know what they see in me to want this fight, but none of it matters to me. All the questions are going to be answered on June 26.

“’Tank’ is jumping up two weight classes. He’s doing something a lot of great fighters have done. He even said it: this isn’t an easy fight for him. We’re ready to face the best version of ‘Tank’ that anyone has ever seen and it’s going to be war.

“I was surprised when his name was brought up to me. But whether you like ‘Tank’ or not, he has one of the biggest names in boxing. This is the type of fight that can skyrocket my name up there to the top level of the sport.

“’Tank’ is a good fighter and a very explosive fighter. There is the question of whether he’s bringing his power up to 140. I don’t have any concerns about it though. He’s the guy who has to show people he can handle my power at this weight.

“I’m excited to be fighting in Atlanta. This is my first time here actually but I know the fans here are very passionate. I’m expecting to see a great turnout here at State Farm Arena.”

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO von Mayweather Promotions

“’Tank’ is a generational fighter. He has certain abilities that others just don’t. He’s special, but this is a dangerous fight for him. This is a tremendous challenge and I’m really excited for this fight.

“Atlanta is a hot market. Obviously the first fight they had in a long time was ‘Tank’ vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa and it was a packed sold out crowd in this building. The fans really enjoyed it. The city needs big events like this. We told the fans we were coming back and here we are.

“’Tank’ is chasing history. When you look back at a lot of all-time greats, they’ve gone through things no one else ever has. Looking to be a three-division champion at 26 years old is another example of him chasing greatness like that.

“’Tank’ is the most exciting fighter in the entire sport and he gives the fans what they want to see. He puts butts in seats. People gravitate to the way he fights. This new generation of fans that we have, they love him.”
