LOGAN PAUL JOINS BRENDAN SCHAUB’S FOOD TRUCK DIARIES TO DISCUSS UPCOMING FLOYD MAYWEATHER BOUT AND POTENTIAL FIGHT AGAINST HIS BROTHER JAKE

Laat een reactie achter

“I think it’s inevitable,” – Logan Paul on potential fight against his brother, Jake

Watch Full FOOD TRUCK DIARIES InterviewHIER

WAT: YouTube sensation turned professional boxer Logan Paul joins this week’sFOOD TRUCK DIARIES, a segment under SHOWTIME Sports’ digital talk show and podcast seriesBELOW THE BELT WITH BRENDAN SCHAUBto preview his highly touted February 2021 boxing exhibition against all-time great Floyd Mayweather.

Paul details to Schaub how the Mayweather bout came to fruition, explains where his love and passion for boxing came from and speculates on a potential clash with his brother and fellow pro boxer Jake Paul, who scored a viral sensation over former NBA star Nate Robinson last month.

Following are excerpts from the episode:

On how the fight with Floyd Mayweather came about…

Paul – “I signed [the contract] and then after just months and months going back and forth, figuring out dates – we had three different dates – and how to announce it and just the strategy behind it. It finally came to fruition and this event that supersedes everything I’ve ever done in my life, finally solidified.”

On his boxing skills and last fight against KSI…

Paul – “I think we surprise a lot of people. It’s what I’ve done my whole life. I’ve just exceeded expectations and I don’t think there’s anything online that’s representative of how good I am or the level at which I’m operating at this point in my life when it comes to boxing. I think my last fight wasn’t indicative in the slightest. I remember after it happened, bro, the bell rang at the sixth round and I had half a tank left…Something just didn’t click that day…A year later, after an ‘L’, you secure a fight with the biggest fighter on the planet. It never really felt like a loss.”

On the rules of the Mayweather bout…

Paul – “I don’t think there’s a weight as of now. If they make me drop weight I’ll be pissed. I’ll make a thing about it. I’ll f***ing complain about it and sh*t. That’s the thing, rechts? The greatest boxer of all time faces the young behemoth. I’m going in there and I’m towering over this dude and that’s what makes it exciting. It’s David vs. Goliath.”

On a potential fight with his brother, Jake…

Paul – “My dad does not want us to do that. If you want my opinion, I think it’s inevitable. I think Jake and I in two to four years’ time are going to be beating the sh*t out of each other in a ring and I think it’ll be one of the most historical sporting events to take place ever.”

BELOW THE BELT explores the intersection of combat sports and pop culture through the eyes of former fighter, comedian and red carpet host Brendan Schaub. The program discusses the latest news in combat sports and pop culture, with Schaub delivering candid thoughts in his unique and unfiltered style.

Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz No longer best kept secret after Tyson-Jones, Jr. PPV show performance

Laat een reactie achter

WORCESTER, Massa. (December 14, 2020) – Prior to his sensational performance on the recent Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view gebeurtenis, undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz was boxing’s best kept secret. No more, hoewel, as Ortiz firmly established himself as a rising star in front of countless fans among the 1.6 million PPV buys.

Ortiz flew from Boston to Los Angeles on Thanksgiving. He was driven to his hotel, where he immediately saw Jones, checked his weight, and walked to Staples Center. “I was comfortable from the start,” said the young fighter who was fighting for the first time as a professional outside of New England. “I was there to get the job done. I was on a mission. I walk to see the Staples Center and that was cool. I later took my run around the Staples Center and there were a lot of statues. It was beautiful. It was cool seeing the Lakers locker-room.”

The 24-year-old Ortiz (14-0, 8 KO), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, uitgeteldSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KO) with a bruising body attack, hurting his opponent in the sixth round, and closing the show in spectacular fashion in the seventh for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (U.S) Silver lightweight title. Segawa had never been stopped before as a professional.

Ortiz displayed his overall arsenal: stiff jab, lightning quick hands and feet, switching back and forth effortlessly from orthodox to southpaw stances, punishing hooks up and down, and the most lethal body shots seen from a New Englander since“Ierse” Micky Ward.   

“I was calm and cool before the fight,” Ortiz added. “I like to go into a fight, geestelijk, like it was a sparring session and I always do good. I started out in an orthodox stance, established my jab and used it a lot. I think I should have used it more and could have beaten him with it. I listened to my coach (Rocky Gonzalez) and he told me when to switch. Body punching is the No. 1 thing with Rocky. I may not have shown it nearly as much in other fights, but he drills that into me all the time. In the sixth round, he told me to go more to the body, not looking to catch him, and in the seventh I really hurt him to the body.

“Segawa was definitely tough. He had beaten a lot of guys, including a few he upset. Every fight is a stepping-stone and I’m my worst critic. I felt that I could have knocked him out in the second round, but I didn’t want to go off the game plan

Ortiz set-up Segawa from the opening bell, brak hem neer, and finished the show in grand style as Seqawa was hurt and trapped on the ropes, drawing kudos from highly respected people in the industry such as"Sugar" Ray Leonard, Teddy Atlas, and others. Ortiz’ fanbase grew exponentially as boxing fans rushed to sign up to follow Jamaine during and after his breakout fight.

“Once people saw me perform and my style,” Ortiz continued, “they liked me. I could have shown more and thrown more combinations. I really needed to fight in front of the world. I got 5,500 new Instagram flowers that night. I guess, I’m no longer the best kept secret in boxing.”

“Our main goal is to win a world title,” Gonzalez commented. “This was fun and a great opportunity, but the motivation to be world champion is stronger. He dealt with this fight as just another fight, and he followed our game plan.

“His body shots set up the ending. I’m always telling him about Micky Ward’s body shots. You know, boxing is a dance, a salsa. Boxers need to dance; I don’t think they should just be orthodox. They all need to fight the other way and when Jamaine switched stances in the third, he never let up. I’ve trained him hard. I’m always on him and what better way to shut me up than ending it like he did on pay per view?  It was a drop the microphone moment!"

Ortiz wordt gepromoot doorJimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports) and advised byRichard Shappy enEddie Imondi. 

Because of the uncertainty in boxing due to the pandemic, Ortiz’ 2021 schedule is unknown, but he isn’t boxing’s best kept secret anymore, “The Technician” is a bonafide rising star.

CHRIS COLBERT AIMS TO “SHOW EVERYONE WHY I’M ONE OF THE BEST 130-POUNDERS IN THE WORLD” AGAINST JAIME ARBOLEDA

Laat een reactie achter
Unbeaten Interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Colbert Battles Hard-Hitting Arboleda in Main Event Live on SHOWTIME® deze zaterdag, December 12

NEW YORK – December 8, 2020 – Unbeaten interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Chris “Primetime” Colbert will look to make a statement in his first nationally televised main event as he faces hard-hitting Jaime Arboleda live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, December 12 bij 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

“I always knew I was going to get here,” said Colbert. “It’s all God’s plan. This is just going to be another day for me and I’ll show everyone why I’m one of the best 130-pounders in the world.”

The 24-year-old Colbert has shot up the rankings of the 130-pound weight class and believes that a victory on Saturday night will lead to bigger opportunities in the jam-packed division.

“This is one of the most stacked divisions in boxing and I love competing in it,” said Colbert. “It’s great to be getting noticed in a division that has this much talent, and hopefully it’ll lead to me getting the big fights that I need. I don’t feel like there’s any certain fighter I’m targeting, but Gervonta Davis, Leo Santa Cruz and Jamel Herring would all be great fights for me. Beating them would help me become ‘the guy’ in the division.”

Colbert’s rise continued in his last fight, as he scored a 10th-round knockdown against former champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a decision win while showing an impressive array of skills against a fighter determined to slow the action through holding and other veteran tricks.

“Against Corrales I learned not to rush,” said Colbert. “It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. I can’t just go rush in there and expect everyone to get knocked out. I had to take my time, do what I do best and stick to my game plan.”

In the 26-year-old Arboleda, Colbert will be presented with another rising 130-pound contender with his own sights set on emerging amongst the elite in the division. Arboleda has won five of his last six fights by stoppage and most recently dropped Jayson Velez on his way to a decision victory in February on SHOWTIME.

“Come December 12, Ik ben klaar voor alles wat hij brengt,” said Colbert. “I expect him to bring pressure and ‘try’ to make me tired because that’s the only chance he has. He can’t outbox me. That’s not happening. But I love to bang inside and I’m ready for whatever he does. I hope he doesn’t run or clinch me because I’d love to get the knockout and get him out of there early.”

The Brooklyn-native Colbert has continued to work with his longtime coach Aureliano Sosa in his hometown through the difficulties of the pandemic. Those difficulties have led to Colbert sparring with larger welterweight and super welterweights in camp, which Colbert believes could help him with the power Arboleda will bring into the fight.

“Training camp has been going great for the most part,” said Colbert. “It’s just been a little hard finding sparring partners. But because it’s been difficult to find fighters at my weight I’ve actually been sparring with 147 and 154-pound fighters. I honestly love that because it prepares me better, and who’s to say that Arboleda won’t have power like them? I’m on weight now, hoewel, and ready to put on a show on December 12.”

RICHARDSON HITCHINS TRAINING CAMP QUOTES & FOTO'S

Laat een reactie achter
“I truly believe I am the best up and coming fighter in the game”



Unbeaten Rising Super Lightweight Prospect Hitchins Battles Former Champion Argenis Méndez In Co-Main Event Live on SHOWTIME® deze zaterdag, December 12

Klik HIER Voor foto's van Mayweather Promotions

NEW YORK – December 7, 2020 – Unbeaten rising prospect Richardson Hitchins shared details of his training camp, including pointers and motivation he received from Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis, ahead of his super lightweight showdown against former world champion Argenis Mendez live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, December 12 bij 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

“Floyd helped me tremendously while I was back in Las Vegas,'Zei Hitchins. “I already have the fundamentals as a fighter, but he showed me little things here and there and workouts that I have taken back home with me while I train for this fight. I’m not shy about my ability as a fighter, because I truly believe I am the best up and coming fighter in the game, so these are the kind of fights I need in order to show the world who Richardson Hitchins is.

“Gervonta has been instrumental in past fight camps as well, and he’s the type of person you need. He pushes you to go harder. We go head-to-head in trying to outdo each other, and that’s the type of competition that’s needed in order to really be the best.”

Despite training throughout the pandemic, Hitchins has been able to remain on task and on track throughout his camp that began in Las Vegas before ending in his native Brooklyn under the guidance of his head coach Lenny Wilson.

“The thing about me is, I’m focused no matter what,'Zei Hitchins. “I don’t take ‘off’ after my fights. I stay in shape all year round; I don’t need to get ready in terms of conditioning or getting my body back in shape because this is my job. I take my job very seriously. The discipline Floyd has had throughout his career is the same discipline I have. I have watched my idols and taken things from them so that I can put myself in a position to win.

“I don’t think the pandemic or the holidays necessarily altered my training. I still have access to my gym. There’s nothing that’s going to stand in my way of becoming great. The pandemic doesn’t slow me down, it’s just another roadblock to test my dedication to the sport.”

The 23-year-old Hitchins represented Haiti at the 2016 Olympic Games and will return to the ring after debuting in 2020 with a 10-round decision victory over Nicholas DeLomba in February. It was Hitchins’ second 10-round decision win after his previous fight saw him best Kevin Johnson following 10 rounds in November 2019.

“I often think back to my fight against Kevin Johnson, he’s a tough fighter and he’s the one who I can confidently say brought the best out of me,'Zei Hitchins. “Those are the fights that make me look back and watch closely the things I need to work on. That fight also showed me that no one should be overlooked, so going into this fight against Mendez, I’m not overlooking him.”

Méndez presents the most accomplished opponent of Hitchins’ young career. The 34-year-old former champion most recently fought Juan Heraldez and Anthony Peterson to draws in 2019, and scored victories over Eddie Ramirez and Ivan Redkach prior to that. For Hitchins, the strong resume of his opponent is something he relishes as a measuring stick for his progress.

“He’s a veteran, he’s been in there with a lot of tough guys and he’s a former world champion, so he clearly has a skill set that I think I need to face at this point in my career,'Zei Hitchins. “I need those big fights. He’s older now, but I feel like him in his prime still couldn’t touch my skillset. It’s my job to prove that.

“I know this won’t be an easy fight, but I’ll be prepared for whatever he brings. My motivation is to be more than ordinary. I will fulfill my goals when this is all said and done, and honestly, I’m just waiting for this fight to come so I can show that. Whether it’s Méndez, or whoever, the conviction I have and how I feel about myself is stronger than anything standing in front of me in that ring.”

Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker Signs Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr.

Laat een reactie achter
BOSTON (December 7, 2020) – Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker has signed Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. een exclusieve bestuurlijke overeenkomst.

Anderson, een vakbondswerker van Sheetmetal in lokaal 17, was een gedecoreerde amateur die een gouden medaille won op de 2016 Rocky Marciano-toernooi, evenals The New England's Tournament tweemaal in 2018-2019, en won tweemaal de Central Division van het New England Golden Gloves Tournament en tweemaal de tweede plaats tijdens zijn vierjarig jaar (2016-2019) run. He also competed in three national tournaments.

Anderson, hoewel, didn’t start boxing until he was 23, when he walked into a gym for the first time, 10 years after his two best friends introduced him to boxing. “I started in boxing because I hoped to succeed and reach my goals through boxing,” Anderson legde uit:. “I train at Nonantum Boxing Club in Newton (MA), waar Marc Gargaro is my coach. He’s one of the best in New England. He coaches for USA Boxing. I wouldn’t be in this business without him because he’s built me from scratch. I’m so glad to be coached by him and we’ve developed a bond like family.”

Op de leeftijd van 28, Anderson has decided to turn pro, die, natuurlijk, is relatively late in boxing. But he still feels 21 because of the way he moves and that he wasn’t on the wrong end of beatings in the amateurs. He’s also gained confidence sparring with some of New England’s top pros and amateurs.

“I put a lot of hard work in the gym the past 5 of 6 years and I got tired of the amateurs,” Anderson explained why he decided to turn pro now. “It’s not too late for me; others have started late like me and went on to become world champion. I want to be in that group.

“I thank Ryan Roach for giving me this opportunity to join Fighter Locker. He’s honest and I was comfortable with him. I like him and know he’s going to keep an eye on me. Why not sign with a Boston manager to help put boxing here back on the map?”

“I’m excited about signing Troy Anderson, Jr.” Roach said. “I’ve been watching him for years and he’s developed well under Marc. Troy has fought the best in the country. He’s a very well-rounded fighter. I’m excited about adding him to the stable. He’s a BOSTON fighter and a great young man. It’s a win-win for us.”



Anderson realizes that he needs to move to set up his shots, throw multiple punches, and change angles. He’s a slick southpaw who normally doesn’t rush in the ring. Anderson is thrilled to know that ripping body punches will score points, unlike in the amateur ranks, and breakdown his opponent. He predicts that he’ll display more power than he did as an amateur.

“I’m driven to reach my goals,” Hij concludeerde. “I hope to make my pro debut early next year, pending pandemic restrictions. Ryan has kept his fighters busy, some fighting in Mexico. I love the challenge and can’t wait!”

Fighter Locker’s growing stable of gifted boxers includes Dorchester, MA weltergewicht Gabriel Duluc (15-3, 4 KO), Troje, NY super lichtgewicht Ray Jay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (10-0, KO), Toronto, Canada weltergewicht Jeff “Het probleem 1” Tabrizi (8-3, 7 KO), West Haven, CT super weltergewicht Jimmy “Stille storm” Williams (16-4-2, 5 KO), super vedergewicht Jezus Vasquez, Jr. (6-0, 2 KO), super middengewicht “De geweldige” Shawn McCalman (4-0, 2 KO), U.S. Super bantamgewicht van het leger Daniel Bailey, Jr., en lichtgewicht Leonel de los Santos, a 2-time Dominican Republic Olympian

FED-UP VROUWELIJKE BOKSERS EISEN EERLIJKHEID EN EEN PLATFORM

Laat een reactie achter
De vrouwelijke topatleten in boksen hebben nee “huis”, geen netwerk om hun talent te laten zien

Voor onmiddellijke publicatie

NEW YORK — Terwijl vrouwen vorderingen blijven maken in de richting van gelijkheid in alle bedrijfstakken, boksen en zijn mediapartners blijven in het verleden door vrouwen een eerlijke kans te ontnemen om hun vaardigheden te tonen en de kost te verdienen. In hetzelfde jaar dat Amerika zijn eerste vrouwelijke vice-president koos, een vrouw van kleur, de vrouwelijke topsporters die bovenaan de wereldranglijst staan, hebben geen regulier televisieplatform of boksseries. Nergens is dit oneerlijke speelveld duidelijker zichtbaar dan in de Verenigde Staten en Noord-Amerika.

De overgrote meerderheid van de beste boksers heeft niet gevochten 2020, of hebben sinds januari niet meer gevochten. De pandemie heeft vrouwen in het boksen nog harder getroffen dan de mannen. De foto was niet rooskleurig vóór Covid-19 en, zonder actie, er is geen reden om aan te nemen dat het zal verbeteren.

Dit heeft gevolgen voor alle vrouwen in het Amerikaanse boksen, van sterren Claressa Shields en Amanda Serrano, aan regerend wereldkampioenen, aan vechters van zes ronden en vier ronden. Behalve een handvol atleten, de meeste vrouwelijke boksers moeten een fulltime of parttime baan hebben om rond te komen.

Amanda Serrano, Heather Hardy, Ava Knight en anderen hebben kansen in MMA nagestreefd om hun inkomen aan te vullen en inactiviteit te voorkomen. Claressa Shields, de meest geprezen vrouw in de Amerikaanse amateurgeschiedenis, een tweevoudig Olympisch gouden medaillewinnaar, en een bewezen attractie, is momenteel zonder platform en heeft zojuist een meerjarige deal aangekondigd met de Professional Fighters League.

De verenigde kampioen van Flint, Michigan, vertelde The Athletic dat, “Het is (boksen) een seksistische sport. Het is seksistisch met de kansen die we krijgen. Het is seksistisch met de tv-tijd. Het is seksistisch met hoeveel we worden betaald. Alle drie. Het is prima voor een vrouwelijke boksster om haar hand te proberen bij MMA. Ze zouden hiertoe niet moeten worden gedwongen vanwege een gebrek aan kansen.”

“Deze vrouwen leveren consequent geweldige gevechten en solide kijkcijfers,” zei Lou DiBella, die meer vrouwen promoot dan enige andere Amerikaanse promotie-entiteit. “Ze zetten mensen op stoelen, en kijkers naar hun evenementen wedijveren vaak met de mannen. Dit zijn geen vechters op clubniveau. Ze zijn elite wereldkampioenen en, zonder televisie, zonder een gewoon platform, ze kunnen geen financiële zekerheid hebben of een fanbase opbouwen. Het is opmerkelijk dat het boksen van vrouwen zijn talentenpool laat groeien en zijn status verhoogt, gezien de schaarse televisie- en streaming-slots die zijn gereserveerd voor vrouwelijke vechters. Dit is een bewijs van de veerkracht en toewijding van vrouwelijke boksporters, die beter verdienen.”

Lokale initiatiefnemers, die zich bezighouden met groeiende vechters en het vullen van stoelen, kunnen plaatsen op hun kaarten en regionale bekendheid bieden, maar portemonnees zijn zeer beperkt zonder televisie-inkomsten. Vrouwelijke strijders’ portemonnees zijn vaak beperkt tot een percentage tickets dat ze uit de hand verkopen.

Op de hoogste niveaus, vrouwen zijn gepasseerd. Heather Hardy, een DiBella Entertainment-jager, heeft het verschil gezien in de groei van boksers van beide geslachten. “Op persconferenties, Ik zit helemaal aan het einde op een stoel, met de rest van de undercard-gevechten,” Said Hardy. “Ik kijk naar de jongens die naast me aan het eind van de tafel zitten, om naar de hoofdkaart te gaan, dan de co-main, en dan het belangrijkste evenement, maar mijn stoel is nooit bewogen. Het maakt niet uit hoeveel pers ik heb, ongeacht hoeveel gevechten ik heb gewonnen, Ik ben nooit verhuisd. Systemisch seksisme stond me niet toe om te bewegen.”

“Het is niet zo dat we een aparte organisatie zijn zoals de WNBA. We krijgen alleen token-kansen, vechten op dezelfde kaarten, vaak in veel competitiever gevechten dan de mannen, en nog steeds niet eerlijk worden behandeld,” Said Hardy. “We hebben geen eigen huis of professionele woning.”

“Dit sijpelt door naar aspirant-vrouwelijke boksers en de amateurprogramma's,” DiBella ging verder. “Jonge vrouwen in het boksen moeten andere vrouwen op het grote podium zien. Ze moeten vrouwen zien die op hen lijken op televisie en op streamingplatforms. Ze moeten dat weten als ze een bokscarrière nastreven, er zullen voldoende kansen zijn om gezien te worden met hun talenten, voor een eerlijk loon. Als vrouwen in staat zijn om een ​​boksevenement te headlinen, of in staat om een ​​aanzienlijk percentage van een actieve poort te verkopen, ze zouden geen tien tot twintig procent moeten krijgen van wat mannen in vergelijkbare omstandigheden worden betaald. We sturen hier niet het juiste bericht, en er is geen goede reden voor in de 21e eeuw.”

De pool van talent die beschikbaar is voor vrouwen in de professionele rangen is kleiner, maar het dwingt de beste matchups. Het dwingt vrouwen om buiten hun gewichtsklasse te vechten.

“Jessica McCaskill heeft zojuist verenigde wereldtitels gewonnen, en wil met me vechten op 147,” zei Amanda Serrano, zeven divisie wereldkampioen. “Ze riep me om 147! Het is een beetje triest. Goed voor ons als het logisch is, maar de waarheid is, ze roepen kampioenen op 126. Dat zijn vier verschillende gewichtsklassen om omhoog te gaan. Mannen hoeven dat niet te doen! Vrouwen worden constant gedwongen om een ​​compromis te sluiten om een ​​kans te krijgen.”

De talentenpool zal niet toenemen tenzij jongere generaties worden geïnspireerd door vrouwen op televisie en streaming – vrouwen die net zo goed kunnen vechten, en vaak beter dan, de mannen die nu op televisie zijn. Het is tijd om te stoppen met vriendelijk vragen. Het wordt tijd dat vrouwelijke boksers eerlijkheid en stabiliteit eisen, en het is aan netwerkmanagers, de media, en degenen die de toegang tot mediaplatforms controleren, om te stoppen met leven in het verleden. Het wordt tijd dat vrouwen in het boksen voor zichzelf vechten en voor het recht om de kost te verdienen. En het is nu een tijd voor actie.
