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

Watch Full FOOD TRUCK DIARIES InterviewAQUI

O QUÊ: 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, direito? 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.”

ABAIXO DO CINTO 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

WORCESTER, Massa. (Dezembro 14, 2020) – Prior to his sensational performance on the recent Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view evento, undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine “O Técnico” Ortiz was boxing’s best kept secret. No more, embora, 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 KOs), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, nocauteadoSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOs) 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“Irish” Micky Ward.   

“I was calm and cool before the fight,” Ortiz added. “I like to go into a fight, mentalmente, 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, quebrou-o para baixo, 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 LeonardTeddy 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 is promoted byJimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports) and advised byRichard Shappy eEddie 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 TEM QUE "MOSTRAR A TODOS PORQUE SOU UM DOS MELHORES 130 POUNDERS DO MUNDO" CONTRA JAIME ARBOLEDA

O invencível campeão provisório WBA Super Featherweight Colbert luta contra Arboleda no Main Event ao vivo no SHOWTIME® neste sábado, Dezembro 12

NOVA IORQUE – Dezembro 8, 2020 – Invicto campeão interino WBA Super Featherweight Chris “Primetime” Colbert tentará fazer uma declaração em seu primeiro evento principal transmitido pela televisão nacional, enquanto enfrenta Jaime Arboleda ao vivo no SHOWTIME neste sábado, Dezembro 12 em 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT em um evento apresentado pelos Premier Boxing Champions da Mohegan Sun Arena em Uncasville, Conn.

“Eu sempre soube que iria chegar aqui,”Disse Colbert. “É tudo plano de Deus. Este será apenas mais um dia para mim e vou mostrar a todos porque sou um dos melhores lutadores de 130 libras do mundo. ”

O Colbert de 24 anos subiu no ranking da categoria de peso de 130 libras e acredita que uma vitória na noite de sábado levará a maiores oportunidades na divisão lotada.

“Esta é uma das divisões mais empilhadas do boxe e adoro competir nela,”Disse Colbert. “É ótimo ser notado em uma divisão que tem tanto talento, e espero que isso me leve a conseguir as grandes lutas de que preciso. Eu não sinto que há um certo lutador que estou almejando, mas Gervonta Davis, Leo Santa Cruz e Jamel Herring seriam todos ótimas lutas para mim. Vencê-los me ajudaria a me tornar 'o cara' na divisão. ”

A ascensão de Colbert continuou em sua última luta, como ele marcou um 10th-round knockdown contra o ex-campeão Jezreel Corrales em seu caminho para uma vitória por decisão, mostrando uma impressionante gama de habilidades contra um lutador determinado a desacelerar a ação por meio de segurar e outros truques veteranos.

“Contra Corrales aprendi a não ter pressa,”Disse Colbert. “Não é um sprint, é uma maratona. Eu não posso simplesmente ir correndo lá e esperar que todos sejam nocauteados. Eu tive que levar meu tempo, fazer o que faço de melhor e seguir meu plano de jogo. ”

No Arboleda de 26 anos, Colbert será apresentado a outro contendor crescente de 130 libras com seus próprios olhos postos em emergir entre a elite na divisão. Arboleda venceu cinco de suas últimas seis lutas por paralisação e, mais recentemente, largou Jayson Velez em seu caminho para uma vitória por decisão em fevereiro no SHOWTIME.

“Venha dezembro 12, Eu estou pronto para o que ele traz,”Disse Colbert. “Espero que ele exerça pressão e‘ tente ’me cansar, porque essa é a única chance que ele tem. Ele não pode me enviar. Isso não está acontecendo. Mas adoro bater por dentro e estou pronto para o que ele fizer. Espero que ele não corra ou me conquiste porque adoraria nocauteá-lo e tirá-lo de lá mais cedo. ”

Colbert, natural do Brooklyn, continuou a trabalhar com seu técnico de longa data Aureliano Sosa em sua cidade natal durante as dificuldades da pandemia. Essas dificuldades levaram Colbert a lutar com pesos médios maiores e super médios no acampamento, que Colbert acredita que poderia ajudá-lo com o poder que Arboleda trará para a luta.

“O acampamento de treinamento está indo muito bem na maior parte,”Disse Colbert. “Tem sido um pouco difícil encontrar parceiros de treino. Mas porque tem sido difícil encontrar lutadores com meu peso, eu tenho realmente lutado com 147 e lutadores de 154 libras. Eu realmente amo isso porque me prepara melhor, e quem pode dizer que Arboleda não terá um poder como eles? Estou com peso agora, embora, e pronto para dar um show no dia 12 de dezembro. ”

CITAÇÕES DO CAMPO DE TREINAMENTO DE RICHARDSON HITCHINS & FOTOS

“Eu realmente acredito que sou o melhor lutador em ascensão no jogo”



Super leve e imbatível em ascensão em perspectiva Hitchins Battles ex-campeão Argenis Méndez no evento co-principal ao vivo no SHOWTIME® neste sábado, Dezembro 12

Clique AQUI para fotos das promoções Mayweather

NOVA IORQUE – Dezembro 7, 2020 – Perspectiva de ascensão imbatível Richardson Hitchins compartilhou detalhes de seu acampamento de treinamento, incluindo dicas e motivação que recebeu de Floyd Mayweather e Gervonta Davis, antes de seu confronto superleve contra o ex-campeão mundial Argenis Mendez ao vivo no SHOWTIME neste sábado, Dezembro 12 em 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT em um evento apresentado pelos Premier Boxing Champions da Mohegan Sun Arena em Uncasville, Conn.

“Floyd me ajudou tremendamente enquanto eu estava de volta a Las Vegas,”Disse Hitchins. “Já tenho os fundamentos como lutador, mas ele me mostrou coisinhas aqui e ali e exercícios que eu levo para casa comigo enquanto treino para essa luta. Não tenho vergonha de minha habilidade como lutador, porque eu realmente acredito que sou o melhor lutador em ascensão no jogo, então esse é o tipo de luta de que preciso para mostrar ao mundo quem é Richardson Hitchins.

“Gervonta também foi fundamental em campos de luta anteriores, e ele é o tipo de pessoa que você precisa. Ele te empurra para ir mais difícil. Nós ficamos cara a cara tentando superar um ao outro, e esse é o tipo de competição necessária para ser realmente o melhor. ”

Apesar do treinamento durante a pandemia, Hitchins tem sido capaz de permanecer na tarefa e no caminho certo em seu acampamento, que começou em Las Vegas antes de terminar em seu Brooklyn natal sob a orientação de seu técnico Lenny Wilson.

“A coisa sobre mim é, Eu estou focado, não importa o que aconteça,”Disse Hitchins. “Eu não saio depois das minhas lutas. Eu fico em forma o ano todo; Eu não preciso me preparar em termos de condicionamento ou colocar meu corpo em forma porque este é o meu trabalho. Eu levo meu trabalho muito a sério. A disciplina que Floyd teve ao longo de sua carreira é a mesma que eu. Eu observei meus ídolos e tirei coisas deles para que eu pudesse me colocar em posição de vencer.

“Eu não acho que a pandemia ou os feriados necessariamente alteraram meu treinamento. Eu ainda tenho acesso ao meu ginásio. Não há nada que me impeça de me tornar grande. A pandemia não me desacelera, é apenas mais um obstáculo para testar minha dedicação ao esporte. ”

Hitchins, de 23 anos, representou o Haiti no 2016 Jogos Olímpicos e voltará aos ringues após estrear em 2020 com uma vitória por decisão de 10 rodadas sobre Nicholas DeLomba em fevereiro. Foi a segunda vitória de Hitchins em 10 assaltos por decisão, depois que sua luta anterior o viu como o melhor Kevin Johnson seguindo 10 rodadas em novembro 2019.

“Costumo pensar na minha luta contra Kevin Johnson, ele é um lutador duro e é aquele que posso dizer com segurança que trouxe o melhor de mim,”Disse Hitchins. “Essas são as lutas que me fazem olhar para trás e ver de perto as coisas que preciso trabalhar. Essa luta também me mostrou que ninguém deve ser esquecido, então indo para essa luta contra Mendez, Eu não estou esquecendo dele. "

Méndez apresenta o oponente mais talentoso da jovem carreira de Hitchins. O ex-campeão de 34 anos lutou recentemente com Juan Heraldez e Anthony Peterson para empatar 2019, e obteve vitórias sobre Eddie Ramirez e Ivan Redkach antes disso. Para Hitchins, o currículo forte de seu oponente é algo que ele aprecia como uma medida de medição para seu progresso.

“Ele é um veterano, ele esteve lá com muitos caras durões e ele é um ex-campeão mundial, então ele claramente tem um conjunto de habilidades que acho que preciso enfrentar neste momento da minha carreira,”Disse Hitchins. “Eu preciso dessas grandes lutas. Ele está mais velho agora, mas eu sinto que ele ainda não conseguiu tocar minhas habilidades. É meu trabalho provar que.

“Eu sei que esta não será uma luta fácil, mas estarei preparado para tudo o que ele trouxer. Minha motivação é ser mais do que comum. Vou cumprir meus objetivos quando tudo isso estiver dito e feito, e honestamente, Estou apenas esperando essa luta chegar para mostrar que. Seja Méndez, ou quem quer que seja, a convicção que tenho e como me sinto sobre mim é mais forte do que qualquer coisa que esteja à minha frente naquele ringue. ”

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

BOSTON (Dezembro 7, 2020) – Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker has signed Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. para um contrato exclusivo de gestão.

Anderson, a union Sheetmetal worker in local 17, was a decorated amateur who won a gold medal at the 2016 Rocky Marciano Torneio, as well as The New England’s Tournament twice in 2018-2019, and won Central Division of the New England Golden Gloves Tournament twice and runner-up twice during his four-year (2016-2019) run. He also competed in three national tournaments.

Anderson, embora, 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 explained. “I train at Nonantum Boxing Club in Newton (MA), onde 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.

Com a idade de 28, Anderson has decided to turn pro, que, claro, 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 ou 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,” concluiu. “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, Peso meio-médio MA Gabriel Duluc (15-3, 4 KOs), Troy, NY super lightweight Ray Jay “O destruidor” Bermudez (10-0, KOs), Toronto, Canada welterweight Jeff “The Trouble 1Tabrizi (8-3, 7 KOs), West Haven, CT super welterweight Jimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (16-4-2, 5 KOs), pluma Jesus Vasquez, Jr. (6-0, 2 KOs), super-médios The AmazingShawn McCalman (4-0, 2 KOs), U.S. Army super bantamweight Daniel Bailey, Jr., and lightweight Leonel de los Santos, a 2-time Dominican Republic Olympian

FED UP FEMALE BOXERS DEMAND FAIRNESS AND A PLATFORM

Boxing’s top female athletes have no “casa”, no network to showcase their talent

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA

NOVA IORQUEAs women continue to make strides toward equality across industries, boxing and its media partners remain in the past by disenfranchising women from a fair opportunity to showcase their skills and earn a living. In the same year that America elected its first female Vice President, a woman of color, the elite women athletes that top the world rankings have no regular television platform or boxing series. Nowhere is this unfair playing field more apparent than in the United States and North America.

The overwhelming majority of top females in boxing have not fought in 2020, or have not fought since January. The pandemic has hit women in boxing even harder than it has hit the men. The picture wasn’t rosy before Covid-19 and, without action, there is no reason to believe that it will improve.

This impacts all women in American boxing, from stars Claressa Shields and Amanda Serrano, to reigning world champions, to six-round and four-round fighters. Other than a handful of athletes, most female boxers must hold down a full-time or part-time job to make ends meet.

Amanda Serrano, Heather Hardy, Ava Knight and others have pursued opportunities in MMA to supplement their income and avoid inactivity. Claressa Shields, the most acclaimed woman in American amateur history, foi duas vezes medalhista de ouro olímpico, and a proven attraction, is presently without a platform and just announced a multi-year deal with the Professional Fighters League.

The unified champion from Flint, Michigan, told The Athletic that, “É (boxe) a sexist sport. It’s sexist with the opportunities we’re given. It’s sexist with the TV time. It’s sexist with how much we get paid. Todos três. It’s fine for a female boxing star to try her hand at MMA. They shouldn’t be compelled to do so for lack of opportunities.

These women consistently deliver great fights and solid viewership numbers,” disse Lou DiBella, who promotes more women than any other US promotional entity. “They put people in seats, and viewership of their events often rivals the men. These aren’t club level fighters. They are elite world champions and, without television, without a regular platform, they can’t be financially secure or build any kind of fan base. It’s remarkable that women’s boxing is growing its talent pool and raising its stature, given the scarce television and streaming slots that are reserved for female fighters. This is a testament to the resiliency and dedication of boxing’s female athletes, who deserve better.

Local promoters, who are in the business of growing fighters and filling seats, can offer spots on their cards and regional exposure, but purses are very limited without television revenue. Female fighterspurses are often limited to a percentage of tickets they sell out of hand.

At the top levels, women are passed over. Heather Hardy, a DiBella Entertainment fighter, has seen the difference in the growth of boxers of both genders. “At press conferences, I sit at a seat at the very end, with the rest of the undercard fights,” Disse Hardy. “I watch the boys go from sitting next to me at the end of the table, to moving up to the main card, then the co-main, and then the main event, but my seat never moved. No matter how much press I got, no matter how many fights I won, I never moved. Systemic sexism didn’t allow me to move.

It isn’t like we are a separate organization like the WNBA. We are only provided with token opportunities, fighting on the same cards, often in much more competitive fights than the men, and still aren’t treated fairly,” Disse Hardy. “We have no place or professional home of our own.

This trickles down to aspiring female boxers and the amateur programs,” DiBella continued. “Young women in boxing need to see other women on the big stage. They need to see women that look like them on television and on streaming platforms. They need to know that if they pursue a boxing career, there will be sufficient opportunities to be seen showcasing their talents, for fair wage. If women are able to headline a boxing event, or capable of selling a significant percentage of a live gate, they should not be paid ten to twenty percent of what similarly situated men are paid. We’re not sending the right message here, and there’s no good reason for it in the 21st century.

The pool of talent available to women in the pro ranks is smaller, but it forces the best matchups. It forces women to fight outside of their weight classes.

Jessica McCaskill just won unified world titles, and wants to fight me at 147,said Amanda Serrano, seven-division world champion. “She called me out at 147! It’s kind of sad. Good for us if it makes sense, but the truth is, they’re calling out champs at 126. That is four different weight classes to go up. Men don’t have to do that! Women are constantly forced to compromise ourselves just to get a chance.

The talent pool won’t increase unless younger generations are inspired by women on television and streamingwomen who can fight as well as, and often better than, the men who are on television now. It’s time to stop asking nicely. It’s time for women boxers to demand fairness and stability, and it’s up to network executives, os meios de comunicação, and those who control access to media platforms, to stop living in the past. It’s time for women in boxing to fight for themselves and for the right to earn a living. And it’s now a time for action.
