Perfect connection Gilberto“Zurdo” Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua

LAS VEGAS (Svibanj 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, sporting a 29-0 pro zapis, i jedino 27 when they first met.

Ramirez’ managerDavid Suh, 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, kadaTommy Karpency (29-6-1) nije bio u mogućnosti nastaviti nakon četiri runde, followed last December 18th s 10th round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) naslov.

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.

The 29-year-old Ramirez, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract withOscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, trenutno je rangiran Ne. 3 by the WBA and WBO. “Zurdo” returns to action July 9th in Los Angeles againstSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 Kos).

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

SFT dominating Brazilian National MMA Rankings

SAO PAULO, Brazil (Svibanj 25, 2021) – Fighters in SFT’s stable, according to MMA Premium, dominated May’s Brazilian National MMA Rankings.

In the male pound-for-pound ratings, SFT stable fighters captured three of the top four positions: 2, Marcos “Babuino” de Santos (33-13-1, SFT: 3-0-), 3. Wellington “Predador” Prado (11-2-0, SFT: 5-1-0), 4. Thiago “Manchinha” Silva (19-9-0, (SFT: 0-1-0).

“Babuino” and “Predador”, odnosno, are also the top 2 ranked featherweights, while Junior andAcacio “Pequeno” dos Santos (13-3-0, SFT: 2-0-0) finished one-two in the light heavyweight division.

SFT women also placed second and third in the women pound-for-pound ratings, odnosno, with strawweightsJulia Polastri (8-2-0, SFT: 1-0-0) aKarine “Killer” Silva (13-4-0, SFT: 2-0-0). 

SFT swept the top three positions in female bantamweight rankings, in order, with Karine “Killer,” who was SFT’s 2020 Submission of the Year recipientGisele “Gi” Moreira (9-4-0, SFT: 1-0-0) aSidy Rocha (12-8-2, SFT: 0-1-0).

“SFT was established in 2018 by our film and production company,” SFT presidentDavid Hudson said. “Two events were produced, but then we were on hold for five years, and back then, I had nothing to do with SFT. When events were resumed in 2018, I wondered why a country that played a major role in the creation of MMA and UFC didn’t have a world-class promotion. After analyzing what was being done and attendingSFT 4 in Brazil, I was sure the problem was how things were being done. I decided to walk away from the film industry and dedicated my life to MMA.

“Under my leadership, SFT has had a whole new way of promoting MMA. Each decision I made, I was told that by many that I was wrong, and it would result in the end of SFT. Numbers don’t lie and thanks to God, I I have the numbers that prove I was correct., Međutim, as innovative and even crazy my ideas may have been, I knew that at the end of the day our fights had to be top notch. I had a 3-year plan and my goal was to have top 10 Brazilian fighters in each weight class in SFT, excluding those who had contracts outside of Brazil.”

SFT is tentatively prepared to return July 10th withSFT 27 in Brazil.

“We were on track to reaching our goal, but the pandemic caused us to pause at the year of year too,” Hudson explained. “Due to inactivity, many of our fighters dropped out of the top 5 a 10 in national rankings. We still have a lot of the best of the best in Brazil in our stable and in July we will return with our monthly events. I am sure that in a year, things will be back on track, and we’ll be closer to our goal.

“Part of our strategy was to have events in the United States, but there are still travel restrictions for Brazilians going to the USA. As soon as we are able to bring our fighters to the United States to fight, we will, and then we will be one step closer to attaining my goal.”

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

BOSTON (Svibanj 25, 2021) – Veteran boxer Marvin “Much Too Much” Cordova, Jr(na slici gore) and promising prospect Robert Daniels, Jr. (na slici dolje) are the latest additions to Ryan Roach’s growing Fighter Locker stable.

"G. (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 a 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, Kolorado. A solid amateur who was a bronze medalist at the 2002 U.S. Under-19 and 2003 Policija Atletski liga, 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

"Ja sam 36 but a young 36,” Cordova said. “I started boxing at 4. I had 242 amateur fights and was chosen as one of the top amateur boxers in the country. I spent 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 minuta, 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. svjetlo velter, 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. Moj promotor, ‘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), Troja, 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), super srednjoj “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (7-0, 4 Kos), U.S. Army super bantamweight Daniel Bailey, Jr. (5-0, 4 Kos), lak Leonel de los Santos (2-0, 2 Kos), a 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 Olimpijski srebrna Yuberjen Martinez, Utah brothers, super lagani Ignacio Chairez (8-0-1, 5 Kos) and lightweight Gabriel Chairez (3-0-1, 2 Kos).

BLAIRTHE FLAIRCOBBS EXCITED ABOUT RING RETURN IN EL PASO

LOS ANGELES, KAO ŠTO (Svibanj 24, 2021) – One of the most exciting welterweights in all of boxing returns on June 19, 2021, kada Blair “The Flair” Cobbs (14-0-1, 9 Kos), battles decorated amateur and veteran of the sport, Brad Salomon (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 kartica.

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, Kalifornija. “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, CEO of Princ Ranč Boks. “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) poražen #4-Leslie Smith (12-9-1) putem TKO (štrajkovi) na 4:51 od krugu pet

Cris Cyborg after retaining the title:

“I knew she was tough and I’ve fought her before. I know her and respect her and she’s a real fighter. I knew with her it would be a great match, because she’s capable and she’s tough."

“I was really working in sparring to keep going and going because I knew it was going to be this way. I noticed I enjoyed it a little more. It’s going to be 16 years as a professional fighter this month so I started to enjoy it in there."



“I’ve been working on grappling my whole life but I just feel like I’m getting better and better every day. I got a black belt, but it’s like a white belt because I’m always learning."

“I’ve been doing this 16 godina, I’ve got four titles. But before you can be a G.O.A.T. you have to fight the ‘Cat.’ So, I’d like to fight with Cat Zingano and I will ask Scott Coker. Because before you can be a G.O.A.T. you have to fight the ‘Cat.’”

#6-Leandro Higo (20-5) poražen Darrion Caldwell (15-5) preko Splita odlukom (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

“I’ve been waiting for this fight for three years now. It’s exactly how I wanted it to go. I used my wrestling and I used my jiu-jitsu. I’m a complete fighter and I’m ready for any fighter on the planet because I believe I’m the best. I knew I had lost the first round, but in the second when he was throwing all those elbows and cut me open, I’m from a poor family in Brazil and that was nothing I hadn’t seen before. I felt happy being in that cage with blood all over me.

“He ended up taking me down in the second and I went for a kimura, which is something I’m very accustomed to doing, but he reversed it but then he didn’t do anything and I hit him with a lot of strikes on bottom. A lot of elbows and strikes and I stayed very on bottom and he wasn’t doing anything. That’s why I won the second and third round.”

“I think that I deserve a title shot. I just beat three of the biggest names in the game and I just beat a former world champion. And nobody has beaten the top three guys of this world-class caliber like I have done in three consecutive wins. I’m going for that world title and that’s what’s next for me. So let’s make it fast.”

#3-Austin Vanderford (11-0) poražen #4-Fabian Edwards (9-2) putem jednoglasnom odlukom (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Austin Vanderford following his unanimous decision win:

“I like my fights bloody, whether it’s me or my opponent. I’ll get a scab. But hats off to Fabian who cut me up a little bit. But happy to get the win.”

“He was a big, strong guy. I started feeling him give me that head and arm choke. Nažalost, I didn’t capitalize on it. But I knew what I was going to do. I was going to just grind it out. He’s a good striker so I had to be careful but I felt good. Wrestling … it’s my heart. I’m ready for the next step.”

Jaleel Willis (15-2) poražen Maycon Mendonca (11-5) putem jednoglasnom odlukom (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)

Hannah Guy (3-1) poražen #8-Valerie Loureda (3-1) putem jednoglasnom odlukom (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Hannah Guy following her first win inside the BELLATOR cage…

“I felt like I had really good cardio, so that was awesome because I was really worried about that a little bit. I’m so thankful she took the fight and I’m so thankful BELLATOR gave me this opportunity.

“I thought I was going to finish with the triangle (čok), pošteno. She just slipped right out of there, so that was awesome of her. Her defense was really good. I was really impressed with that. I didn’t know what her ground game was but it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

“Grappling is just where I want to be if you’ve seen any of my other fights. My striking has really improved a lot though so I’m hoping to change that. But grappling has always been my strong suit. I didn’t want to just depend on my grappling, but I thought I landed some shots pretty well a few times. In this fight I thought I could see when the punches were coming. And I was able to defend a little bit better and how I’ve grown. So I’m just really proud of myself right now.”

Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the 34-year-old Velasquez makes the first defense of her flyweight title since dethroning inaugural champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane na 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,” said 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 na Bellator 247 u listopadu prošle godine. 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.”

“Kamp mi je bio super. Znamo da je Barrios veći momak i da može udarati. Naporno radimo svaki dan u teretani, jer u lipnju idemo protiv velikog zadatka 26.

“Svi imamo izazove kroz koje prolazimo u životu, i to je ono što nas čini snažnima. Ovo je još jedan izazov koji imam na putu do uspjeha. Spremna sam proći kroz to i nastaviti gurati.

“Znamo da je ovo opasna borba. Barrios dolazi s moći i vi sigurno znate da ja dolazim s moći. Neka kum pobijediti.

“Prihvatio sam ovu borbu jer želim biti sjajan. Sva ostala velika imena u lakoj kategoriji imala su zakazane borbe pa sam se osjećala kao da želim izaći i pobijediti najboljeg borca ​​za sebe.

“Čak i ako je veći od mene u noći borbe, nije važno. Sve je ovo dio sporta. Cilj mi je slomiti ga. Ako ga uspijem izvući odande, Izvući ću ga odande. Ako to ide 12 kola, tako bude. Velik je i snažan, ali nikad se nije suočio s nikim poput mene.

“Moramo pričekati i vidjeti što će se dogoditi u noći borbe. Različiti stilovi diktiraju ono što trebam pokazati u borbi. Vidjet ćemo što će donijeti na stol, a onda ćemo to kapitalizirati.

“Ne brinem se zbog gubitka brzine dodavanjem kilograma. Bit ću brz bez obzira. Mislim da ću biti najbolji od 140 kilograma.

“Kao i sve ostale moje borbe, ovo će biti prepuno akcije. Nemojte ići po kokice tijekom borbe, jer bi svakog trenutka mogao završiti. Donosim ono što boksu treba, i to je uzbuđenje. Svi znamo kad se borim, nikad nije dosadna borba. Od prvog kruga, sve dok god ne završi, Samo dolazim, u svim mojim borbama. To ćete vidjeti 26. lipnja. "

MARIO BARRIOS

“Ovo je ogromna prilika za mene. ‘Tank’ me prozvao. Znam da pokušava učiniti nešto sjajno, ali ovo je za njega opasna borba. Bit će to akcijska borba. Nikad se prije nismo suočili s borcima poput jednih drugih. Vidjet ćemo u lipnju 26 ako je to pravi potez za njega.

“Borim se da predstavljam svoj grad i svoj narod. Otići ću tamo i dati sve od sebe da svi budu ponosni.

“Možda pomno promatraju moju borbu protiv Batyra Ahmedova. Ali mislim da ima potpuno drugačiji stil i da će ova borba biti drugačija od one koju očekuju ako samo gledaju taj meč. Ne znam što vide u meni da žele ovu borbu, ali ništa mi od toga nije važno. Na sva pitanja dat će se odgovor u lipnju 26.

"'Tank' skače u dvije kategorije težine. Radi nešto što su napravili mnogi veliki borci. Čak je i rekao: ovo nije lagana borba za njega. Spremni smo suočiti se s najboljom verzijom 'Tanka' koju je itko ikad vidio i bit će to rat.

“Iznenadio sam se kad su mi otkrili njegovo ime. No sviđa li vam se ‘Tank’ ili ne, ima jedno od najvećih imena u boksu. Ovo je vrsta borbe koja moje ime može poletjeti do vrha sporta.

"'Tank' je dobar borac i vrlo eksplozivan borac. Postavlja se pitanje dovodi li on svoju moć 140. Ipak nemam nikakvih briga oko toga. On je tip koji mora pokazati ljudima da se može nositi s mojom snagom pod ovom težinom.

“Uzbuđena sam što ću se boriti u Atlanti. Zapravo sam prvi put ovdje, ali znam da su navijači ovdje vrlo strastveni. Očekujem da ću ovdje vidjeti sjajnu odaziv u State Farm Areni. "

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO Mayweather Promocije

"'Tank' je generacijski borac. Ima određene sposobnosti koje drugi jednostavno nemaju. On je poseban, ali ovo je za njega opasna borba. Ovo je ogroman izazov i stvarno sam uzbuđen zbog ove borbe.

“Atlanta je vruće tržište. Očito je prva borba nakon dugo vremena bila 'Tank' vs.. Yuriorkis Gamboa i bila je krcata rasprodana gužva u ovoj zgradi. Navijači su zaista uživali. Grad treba ovakve velike događaje. Rekli smo navijačima da se vraćamo i evo nas.

"'Tank' juri povijest. Kad se osvrnete na mnoštvo svih vremena, prošli su stvari koje nitko drugi nikada nije. U potrazi za trodijelnim prvakom na 26 godine još je jedan njegov primjer da tako lovi veličinu.

"'Tank' je najuzbudljiviji borac u cijelom sportu i pruža navijačima ono što žele vidjeti. Stavlja kundake na sjedala. Ljudi gravitiraju načinu na koji se bori. Ova nova generacija obožavatelja koju imamo, vole ga «.
