Perfect connection Gilberto“Zurdo” Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua

LAS VEGAS (Maio 25, 2021) – Back in February of 2019, Organização Mundial de Boxe (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, ostentando um 29-0 registro profissional, and only 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, quandoTommy Karpency (29-6-1) foi incapaz de continuar após quatro rodadas, followed last December 18th com um 10th round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) título.

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, is currently ranked No. 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 eJoe 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, Brasil (Maio 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”, respectivamente, 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, respectivamente, with strawweightsJulia Polastri (8-2-0, SFT: 1-0-0) eKarine “Killer” Silva (13-4-0, SFT: 2-0-0). 

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

“SFT was established in 2018 by our film and production company,”SFT presidenteDavid 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., Contudo, 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 e 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 (Maio 25, 2021) – Veteran boxer Marvin “Much Too Much” Cordova, Jr(foto acima) and promising prospect Robert Daniels, Jr. (foto abaixo) are the latest additions to Ryan Roach’s growing Fighter Locker stable.

"Senhor. (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 e 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

"Eu sou 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 atas, 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. welterweight luz, 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. Meu 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), 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), super-médios “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (7-0, 4 KOs), U.S. Army super bantamweight Daniel Bailey, Jr. (5-0, 4 KOs), leve Leonel de los Santos (2-0, 2 KOs), um 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 Medalhista de prata olímpico Yuberjen Martinez, Utah brothers, super leve Ignacio Chairez (8-0-1, 5 KOs) and lightweight Gabriel Chairez (3-0-1, 2 KOs).

c-Cris Cyborg (24-2, 1 NC) derrotado #4-Leslie Smith (12-9-1) por TKO (greves) em 4:51 da quinta rodada

Cris Cyborg após manter o título:

“Eu sabia que ela era durona e já lutei com ela antes. Eu a conheço e a respeito e ela é uma verdadeira lutadora. Eu sabia que com ela seria uma ótima combinação, porque ela é capaz e ela é durona."

“Eu estava realmente trabalhando em sparring para continuar indo e indo porque eu sabia que seria assim. Eu percebi que gostei um pouco mais. Vai ser 16 anos como lutador profissional este mês, então comecei a me divertir lá."



“Tenho trabalhado em lutar minha vida inteira, mas sinto que estou ficando melhor e melhor a cada dia. Eu tenho uma faixa preta, mas é como uma faixa branca porque estou sempre aprendendo."

“Eu tenho feito isso 16 anos, Eu tenho quatro títulos. Mas antes que você possa ser um G.O.A.T. você tem que lutar contra o ‘Gato’. Então, Eu gostaria de lutar com Cat Zingano e vou perguntar a Scott Coker. Porque antes você pode ser um G.O.A.T. você tem que lutar contra o ‘Gato’. ”

#6-Leandro Higo (20-5) derrotado Darrion Caldwell (15-5) por decisão dividida (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

“Faz três anos que estou esperando por essa luta. É exatamente como eu queria que fosse. Usei meu wrestling e usei meu jiu-jitsu. Eu sou um lutador completo e estou pronto para qualquer lutador do planeta porque acredito que sou o melhor. Eu sabia que tinha perdido o primeiro round, mas no segundo quando ele estava jogando todos aqueles cotovelos e me cortando, Eu sou de uma família pobre no Brasil e isso não era nada que eu não tivesse visto antes. Eu me senti feliz por estar naquela jaula com sangue em cima de mim.

“Ele acabou me derrubando no segundo e eu fui para uma kimura, que é algo que estou muito acostumado a fazer, mas ele reverteu, mas então ele não fez nada e eu o acertei com muitos golpes no fundo. Muitos cotovelos e golpes e eu fiquei muito por baixo e ele não estava fazendo nada. É por isso que ganhei o segundo e o terceiro round. ”

“Eu acho que eu mereço uma chance pelo título. Acabei de vencer três dos maiores nomes do jogo e acabei de vencer um ex-campeão mundial. E ninguém venceu os três melhores caras desse calibre mundial como eu fiz em três vitórias consecutivas. Estou buscando aquele título mundial e isso é o que vem por aí para mim. Então, vamos fazer isso rápido. ”

#3-Austin Vanderford (11-0) derrotado #4-Fabian Edwards (9-2) por decisão unânime (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Austin Vanderford após vitória por decisão unânime:

“Eu gosto das minhas lutas sangrentas, seja eu ou meu oponente. Vou pegar uma crosta. Mas tiro o chapéu para Fabian, que me cortou um pouco. Mas feliz por conseguir a vitória. ”

“Ele era um grande, cara forte. Comecei a sentir ele me dando aquele estrangulamento de cabeça e braço. Infelizmente, Eu não tirei proveito disso. Mas eu sabia o que ia fazer. Eu ia apenas moer. Ele é um bom atacante, então eu tive que ter cuidado, mas me senti bem. Wrestling ... é o meu coração. Estou pronto para a próxima etapa. ”

Jaleel Willis (15-2) derrotado Maycon Mendonca (11-5) por decisão unânime (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)

Hannah Guy após sua primeira vitória dentro da gaiola BELLATOR ...

“Eu senti que tinha um cardio muito bom, então isso foi incrível porque eu estava um pouco preocupado com isso. Estou tão grato que ela aceitou a luta e estou tão grato que BELLATOR me deu esta oportunidade.

“Achei que ia terminar com o triângulo (afogador), honestamente. Ela simplesmente saiu de lá, então isso foi incrível da parte dela. A defesa dela foi muito boa. Fiquei realmente impressionado com isso. Eu não sabia qual era o seu jogo de chão, mas era muito melhor do que eu pensava que seria.

“Grappling é exatamente onde eu quero estar se você já viu alguma das minhas outras lutas. Minha trocação realmente melhorou muito, então espero mudar isso. Mas lutar sempre foi meu forte. Eu não queria apenas depender da minha luta, mas eu pensei que acertei alguns tiros muito bem algumas vezes. Nessa luta eu pensei que poderia ver quando os socos estavam vindo. E fui capaz de me defender um pouco melhor e como cresci. Então, estou muito orgulhoso de mim mesmo agora. ”

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.”

ATLANTA (Maio 20, 2021) - Tetracampeão mundial Gervonta “Tank” Davis and undefeated WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario “El Azteca” Barrios went face-to-face Thursday at a press conference to preview their SHOWTIME PPV main event taking place Saturday, Junho 26 at the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Uma das maiores estrelas do boxe com apenas 26 anos de idade, Davis will take on a career-defining challenge in the undefeated Barrios, as he sets his sights on capturing a title in a third weight class. Com uma vitória, Davis realizará campeonatos mundiais em três divisões diferentes simultaneamente, um feito apenas alcançado por alguns lutadores na história. Standing in his way is the undefeated 26-year-old Barrios, que possui um 9-0 record with eight knockouts during his 140-pound reign and holds a six-inch height advantage over Davis.

Davis returns to fight at State Farm Arena after selling out the venue in December 2019 during a star-studded event that saw him stop former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa in the 12thand final round to capture a lightweight title.

Ingressos para o evento ao vivo na State Farm Arena, que é promovido pela Mayweather Promotions, Promoções GTD e Promoções TGB, go on sale tomorrow, Sexta-feira, Maio 21 em 10 a.m. E, e pode ser comprado em ticketmaster.com.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday at State Farm Arena:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“Camp has been great for me. We know that Barrios is a bigger guy and that he can punch. We’re working hard each day in the gym, because we’re going up against a big task on June 26.

“We all have challenges we go through in life, and that’s what makes us strong. This is another challenge that I have on my road to success. I’m ready to walk through it and keep pushing.

“We know this is a dangerous fight. Barrios is coming with power and you know for sure I’m coming with power. Que ganhe o melhor.

“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, não importa. 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 rounds, assim seja. 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. A partir da primeira rodada, 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 de Promoções Mayweather

“’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.”
