Joulukuu 10, 2020 FNU47 Jätä kommentti

Live Dec. 18^th on pay-per-view from Galveston, Texas

GALVESTON, Texas (Marraskuu 30, 2020) -- There is a Texas showdown coming December 18^th called the “Battle of Rio Grande,” in which undefeated, former world super middleweight championGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (40-0, 26 KOs) challenges North American Boxing Federation (NABF) valo raskaansarjanAlfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-3, 25 KOs), live on pay per view from Galveston Island Convention Center in Galveston, Texas.

“Battle of Rio Grande” will be available for live viewing on digital, cable and satellite, klo 8 p.m. JA / 5 p.m. PT, on pay per view for a suggested retail price of only $24.99. FITE will stream worldwide on the FITE mobile apps, all major OTT apps and website (www.FITE.tv), and Integrated Sports Media will distribute throughout North America via DirecTV, iN Demand, and DISH in the United States, as well as in Canada on Shaw and SaskTel.

The main event fighters, Ramirez and Lopez, are co-promoters of “Battle of Rio Grande” under their promotional company names, vastaavasti, Zurdo Promotions and El Tigre Promotions.

Ramirez, 29, became the first Mexican super middleweight champion of the world in 2016 with a 12-round unanimous decision over World Boxing Organization (WBO) mestariArthur Abraham (44-4). The multi-gifted southpaw “Zurdo” (means lefthanded in English) from Mazatlán, Meksiko, went on to make five successful title defences, including three against unbeaten challengersJesse Hart (25-0), Habif Ahmed (25-0-1), jaRoamer Alexis Angulo (23-0).

Ramirez moved up to light heavyweight for his last fight a year ago, when he stopped 29-6-1Tommy Karpency in four rounds, after which Ramirez became a promotional free agent. “Battle of Rio Grande” is his first event as a promoter.

“Promoting is not an easy job,” Ramirez said, “but I have good people behind me. They’ve got my back and we work very well together. I was world champion and now I’m a promoter; I see the big picture. I don’t want to be fighting forever. I started my own promotional company so that when I retire, I will have a good life after boxing. There’s no stress on me as a promoter, the stress is on my team.”

The 6’ 3” Ramirez is a physical specimen who can dunk a basketball and could easily have been a pro athlete in a different sport like football. He follows business trends and by[opening his own promotional company, he’s taking advantages of the new era of boxing, in which he plans to aid fellow boxers, particularly Mexicans, by giving them a larger platform to display their skills.

Working with his opponent in terms of promoting “Battle of Rio Grande” is a sign of two fighters taking control of their careers, as well as being completely independent rather than under a promoter, although Lopez has been promoting in Texas for several years.

“We’ll work together but, kehässä, he wants my 40-0 Ramirez noted. “I know he’s been training a lot, so he’s going to be faster and stronger, which is good for me because I like fighting good fighters. Everybody wants to take my record, but I’m training (In Santa Monica, KUTEN) like the champion I am to give fans a good fight. He’s going to bring everything he has into the ring. I expect a good fight. It’s a big opportunity for him. I am fully focused on him because I want the opportunity to be world champion again.”

Lopez will be riding a 10-fight win streak into the ring Dec. 18^th versus Ramirez in the 12-round main event. His most recent fight was 13 kuukausia sitten, when he won a 10-round decision over 19-9-1Denis Grachev in Lopez’ first defense of the NABF title he captured in his previous fight with a fourth-round stoppage of 21-3Alex Theran.

Ramirez isn’t looking past Lopez for future fights against world light heavyweight champions Artur Beterbiev (WBC & IBF) Dmitry Bivol (WBA), because he knows and respects Lopez. The media and public, yleisesti, underappreciated Lopez and some have taken cheap shots at him in social media.

“Maybe a little but it’s not a big deal,” Lopez responded to being asked if he was undervalued. “I’ve always said that in this busines, everybody has the opportunity to be seen. Gilberto’s beaten quality guys and he’s a world champion. I’ve promoted myself, mostly in Texas, and I’m well respected within the industry. If they really want to see who Gilberto is fighting, tune in, and then make decisions at the end of the fight and maybe they’ll change their mind. Otherwise, they should keep their opinions to themselves instead of reading about me on social media or matching up who we’ve fought.”

Ramirez has a marquee name, and he represents a career-changing opportunity for Lopez, who has captured four titles, including the NABF crown he’ll be defending. Lisää, “El Tigre” holds victories over solid opponents other than Grachev and Theran, such asDyah Davis jaRubin Williams, ja vuonna 2011 Lopez extendedKelly Pavlik the distance in a loss by way of a 10-round majority decision.

Lopez isn’t fighting Ramirez simply for a payday, to the contrary. “Nobody walks into the ring thinking they’re just happy to be there,” Lopez explained. “This fight will establish me as a world-class fighter. I feel that the winner will be the best in our division and the guys walking around with their belts should fight the winner. Gilberto is a great fighter who has a lot of experience as a world champion. He has physical attributes that him difficult to fight. He’s strong and always in great condition. I need to be intelligent, able to read him, and in great shape.

“The fight will be about adjustments. We’ve both been in this game a long time and at this high level of boxing, you need to be smart and strategic, but both of us being Mexican, it could turn into a brawl at any time. People will see why nobody wants to fight either of us. I’m excited and I know he is, too. Boxing fans don’t want to miss it!"

World-rated heavyweightMichael “The Bounty” Hunter will face veteranChauncy “Hillyard Hammer” Welliver (57-13-5, 23 KOs), the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Continental Americas champion, in the 10-round co-featured event.

Olympian Raul Marquez on USA Boxing Alumni’s 1992 US Trials virtual reunion

COLORADO SPRINGS, Kierros. (Marraskuu 24, 2020) – USA Boxing and the USA Boxing Alumni Association recently held a virtual reunion via Zoom for competitors at the 1992 USA Boxing Trials, including a pair of 1992 USA Olympians, Raul Marquez and Montell Griffin. The group was comprised of 19 fighters who competed at the 1992 USA Olympic Trials, plus a few administrators, who happily spoke non-stop for an hour and 45 minuuttia. They gleefully reminisced, shared personal updates from the past 22 vuotta, remembered their most memorable experiences as amateur boxers, and even got emotional at times as they rebounded.

Some have kept in touch through emails and social media, but visibly seeing each other on the Zoom call was eye-opening for these ring brothers. “You all are part of USA Boxing,” said call host Mike McAtee, Executive Director of USA Boxing. “Hector Colon and Raul Marquez got their brothers on this call. It was a natural fit. Olemme 13 kids getting ready to qualify in May for the Olympics. USA Boxing touches 36,000 kids every day. It changed our lives, and we can have an impact saving lives. “It’s an honor seeing you all. You are the backbone of USA Boxing. Boxing made us who we are, you have inspired boxers. This was long overdue, and we plan to have reunions with other Olympic Trials classes in the future.”

This has been a blast!”

“I’m not much of a boxer, but I’m happy to be part of this boxing program,” kommentoi Barry Siff, USA Boxing volunteer marketing advisor. “I grew up in Detroit during the 1980’s and hung out at Kronk (Kuntosali). I’m happy to be on this call. We all need to help Mike and the team going forward. Don’t wait until 2028 in Los Angeles. We have Tokyo next year and Paris in 2024. Kids can learn from you. I’m happy to be part of USA Boxing.”

KIINTEÄT’ LAINAUKSIA(Robert Allen ja Tarick Salmaci were also on the call but unable to speak due to technical problems)

HECTOR COLON: “I love you guys. It’s been so long. I hope we can communicate like this more often. We need you all to support USA Boxing and USA Boxing Alumni. My first international fight was in Barbados and I knocked out my opponent in 26 sekuntia. I remember receiving the Adidas bag and shoes. It was such a special thing. I dreamed of making the Olympics and I should have, but I found God calling me away from the sport. I was proud watching you and I rooted for you. “It’s great to be back in USA Boxing and giving back to USA Boxing, because it helped me become the person I am today. I could have gone the wrong way. Let’s do this again and keep giving back to our sports.”

RAUL MARQUEZ: “I’m very excited to be here. I feel honored and I’m probably the only one here who fought most of the guys here. I have a lot of memories. I’m honored to be here with you, my boxing family. It’s beautiful. “Everybody here knows how hard it is to win a tournament. We know what it takes because we were all elite. We have to give back. I’m still involved in boxing.”

ORLANDO HARRIS: “I had the greatest time in USA Boxing. I started late. I fought once before I went into the military. I got better and learned how to fight in the military. I had to because I had to do good or go back to my unit. Sisään ’04 I got into car accident. Everybody died but me. They say I’m disabled, but I’m not, I still coach boxing.”

PAULIE AYALA: “The ’92 Olympic Trials is my most memorable moment because I was there. Sisään 1988, I lost in The Westerns in the semifinals and I left boxing. I wasn’t focused. I watched you people excel and didn’t fight again until 1992. I lost to Sergio (Reyes), who I had fought 16 times before that fight. I met a lot of you guys fighting in Russia. What’s inspiring is listening to all of you.”

MONTELL GRIFFIN: “I was late going to the rty, coming in 1991. I had two fights going into the Golden Gloves, but I lied and said I had 12 so I could fight in the opens. My first fight was in 1991. I had to fight the No. 1 kaveri, Jeremy Williams, to make the Olympic team. Ne 1 ½ years as were the best of my life. I looked up to all of you guys and have respect for all.”

ANTWUN ECHOLS: “I made it to Team USA, and I was an Olympic alternate. Raul (Marquez), he likes to talk, and I was excited to fight him. I learned a lot. I love being with all the guys. Larry Nicholson took me under his wing. He talked to me daily. I was a young kid, and my family life wasn’t good. When I went to the ’92 championships, these people were my family. “I was raw off the streets of Davenport (Iowa) and Larry took care of me…kiitos. If it wasn’t for the people at the Olympic Center, I don’t know where I’d be today.”

DANNY RIOS: “Sisään 1992, I lost in the semifinals of the US Championships. Joten, I had to win the Golden Gloves to go to the Olympics. At the Trials I won my first fight and lost my second. I later turned pro. I’m working security and helping to train fighters at a local gym. I hope to have my own gym. I’m glad to see you all after all these years.

SKIPPER KELP: “I’m in Vegas. I moved here when I was in the amateurs. The best thing was the camaraderie. We grew up together. Yhdessä, we came of age as teenagers and I met some of my best friends for life. We were all at the elite level, the best versus the best, and eventually we fought each other. I met a lot of guys in 1989 Venäjällä. “I own Fight Capital Gym in Las Vegas. When you go to Vegas, call me and come to my gym. We have a brotherhood for life. Amateur boxing brings people together. To reconnect like this is awesome.”

DANELL NICHOLSON: “My most memorable moment was representing USA Boxing at the 1992 Olympialaiset, because I became an Olympian and met all these great athletes. Meeting you is really my most memorable. You can’t beat boxing!”

RONALD SIMMS: “I was probably on the amateur team longer than anybody. I stayed on so long that I have a lot of memories. I was part of the 1988, 1992 ja 1996 Olympic teams. I saw a lot of talent come through. Aloitin 1995; this sport is addictive and I’m still involved in amateur boxing. We still have the most talented kids in amateur boxing. “My dream was to make the Olympic Team and I still haven’t made it. My goal was to be No. 1 and I was in 1995. Sitten, I wanted to quit, but my coach said it wasn’t the time. The lessons I learned from you guys and sharing with kids is what it’s all about. I’m in India working as the chief coach, doing what I love.”

PAUL VADEM: “I’m glad to see everyone. I have so many memories, the most memorable is seeing you, my boxing brothers. We trained together to make names for ourselves. We will always have this to go back on. I get emotional. It didn’t matter where you came from, your economical values, and we competed against each other. But at the end of the day we respected each other. “I’m a speaker and author today. What I had learned in boxing is why I’m able to do what I do. Kiitos. This is beautiful. I’m thankful to see you all.”

JAMES JOHNSON: “It’s amazing to see some of these faces, It’s great to see you, te! I remember the Olympic Festival. Randall Crippen. He was talkative……I gave him a diploma at the end of the match. “I broke my hand in competition and they wouldn’t let me fight. I did and I drew a hometown kid in (Worcester) Massachusetts, Bobby Harris, ja voitti. With one hand, I lost in the final. It’s good to see you guys. I’m living in Flint, Michigan. I went on to get my college career and today I’m a network engineer.”

DEAN FLETCHER: “I was an amateur a long time. I have many memories, but one is the years I was on the Board of Directors as an athlete representative. Kids today, the reason you can’t fight twice a day is me. “The traveling, I can’t let that go. When things aren’t going well, I think of my amateur days. Nothing but love for you guys.”

LARRY NICHOLSON: “My most memorable things is being the 1993 Boxer of the Year. I accomplished a lot. I won silver at the 1993 ja 1994 Maailmanmestaruus. Should have been gold. You were great fighters and role models. I had an opportunity to go to college – North Michigan University – and I have a degree. “I’m still involved in boxing today as head coach of the Michigan Golden Gloves. I’m very happy where I am right now. I didn’t go pro because I love amateur boxing, the discipline and life. I worked with three Olympic teams. We’ve done well as frat brothers.”

MARK LANTON: “It’s a pleasure to see everybody like this. My most memorable moment was winning the Western Trials. I was an Army soldier when I was an amateur fighter. In Iraq, joskus, Frank Vassar kept in touch with me. I’m retired now from the military. I worked at the VA as a federal police officer. I’m totally retired. I coach kids at a local gym and I’m living the life in Orlando.

FRANK VASSAR: “Winning the US Olympic Sports Festival and National Golden Gloves in 1999 was my most memorable. I was in the Army, the National Guards, when I was boxing. I got commissioned in the Air Force. I did three combat tours and was injured. Crazy stuff. I’m glad I made it back. I always enjoyed going to tournaments and seeing you guys. I love all you guys.”

RICHARD BONDS: Sisään 1989, I remember fighting Jeremy Williams. He was the best and that put me on the map. The next four years I was going to Colorado and that was the best. I was a college student and got a criminal justice degree at the University of Memphis. I met Echols at dual. We’d come together three or four times a year, maybe more and when you saw somebody it was like yesterday. “Sisään 1992, I wanted to make the Olympic team. I lost my first fight in Worcester and didn’t make it to the Olympics. There were only 12 weight classes and I was one of those guys. You are my frat brothers.”

2020 USA Nyrkkeily SM The 2020 USA Boxing National Championships will be held December 5-12 at Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

IN THE RING WITH HECTOR “MACHO” CAMACHO: PAST OPPONENTS SHARE THEIR STORIES AND INSIGHTS ABOUT THE LEGENDARY WORLD CHAMPION

Marraskuu 27, 2020 FNU47 Jätä kommentti

MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY Premieres Friday, Joulukuu 4 at 9 PM ET/PT on SHOWTIME ^®

A group of people around each other

Description automatically generated — *Courtesy of SHOWTIME*

NEW YORK – November 24, 2020 – Past opponents of legendary boxing icon Hector “Macho” Camacho, including “Sugar” Ray Leonard, Felix “Tito” Trinidad and Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, share their first-hand experiences with the former world champion and recall his trademark flamboyant style in advance of the MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY documentary premiere Friday, Joulukuu 4 at 9 p.m. ET / PT Showtime.

MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY is an unflinching look at the remarkable life, storied career and unsolved murder of one of boxing’s greatest showmen. Through rare and revealing interviews with his mother, Maria Matias, sisters, wife Amy and son Hector Jr., the documentary also delves into the legendary fighter’s troubled mind and spirit, his battle with addiction and the inner turmoil that ultimately led to his demise – a mysterious double homicide on a roadside in November 2012. The film isdirected by two-time Emmy^® Award winner Eric Drath. Drath and Danielle Naassana, both of Live Star Entertainment, served as producers and sixteen-time Emmy Award winner Aaron Cohen served as writer and consulting producer.

In addition to Leonard, Trinidad and Roach, past world champions Ray Mancini, Greg Haugen, Vinny Pazienza and more reminisce about climbing into the ring against the flashy and skilled Hector “Macho” Camacho:

SUGAR RAY LEONARD – March 1, 1997; In Ray Leonard’s final career fight, Camacho won by fifth-round TKO: “We were both naturally past our prime, but I just felt that I was a bigger man. I was smarter, vahvempi, all those things, but the first time he threw a punch, se oli kuin, Pow! And I said, ‘Wow, that hurt.’ I tried the best I could to just go the distance. When he was at his best, he was a thing of beauty.”

FELIX “TITO” TRINIDAD - Tammikuu 29, 1994; IBF Welterweight Title: “I first met Macho Camacho when I was 12 years old at an indoor arena event in Puerto Rico. He was already a world champion. I was in awe. Camacho was talking to everyone and being himself. He ate 12 empanadas at once just to be funny.

“When I got to fight him, it was my third title defense. Olin 21 and he was 10 years older than me. He had so much experience and played so many mind games. At the final press conference, he sat at the very end of the table – sideways, kind of ignoring the press – and staring at me. When it was his time to talk, he just talked trash. He was such a showman. When we got in the ring in Las Vegas, like every fighter at a crossroads fight, I was a little nervous. He was such a great fighter. He was so experienced and technical. He was a little crazy but was such a good person. Nöyrä.

“After the fight, he came over with his chin down and congratulated me. He was like a different person – he was so friendly and calm. ‘It was a good fight,’ he told me. ‘You are going to be a great champion. Keep on climbing.’ It was a great experience for me. After that fight, I felt something had changed in me as a fighter. I had shared a ring with Macho Camacho. You are never the same after that. He helped me be a better fighter. He was the first Puerto Rican I ever faced. The only fighter that cut me. I got my win against him the same night [Frankie] Randall handed Julio Cesar Chavez his first defeat. It was a historic night.”

FREDDIE ROACH – December 18, 1985; Camacho won a super lightweight bout via unanimous decision to improve to 28-0: “Hector Camacho was the best boxer I ever fought. His speed was unbelievable. At one point during the fight, we were in a clinch and I bit his shoulder. He stepped back, smiled, and told me, ‘That’s not going to work.’ He was right. I had so much trouble handling his speed. You just couldn’t prepare for it – and I had a really good training camp. I was really up for that fight. I think I won one round and that was only because I stepped on his foot and got a knock down. After the fight, we bumped into each other in our hotel lobby and he took me to dinner at the hotel restaurant. We talked and laughed throughout dinner. He was a great guy.”

RAY MANCINI – March 6, 1989; Camacho won a split decision for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight title: “Hector had an uncanny ability to avoid punches. He had excellent hand speed, movement and reflexes. He got in the ring with everybody. And he was funny as hell. Ensin, I couldn’t stand him. But once we were retired, we buried the hatchet and every time we’d see each other, it was hugs and laughs. He made everyone laugh. He was a good soul. I was heartbroken when I heard the news about his murder. In my book, when you talk about all-time greats, he is in the top five for Puerto Rican fighters and top 20 for Latino fighters.”

GREGHAUGEN – February 23, ja toukokuussa 18, 1991; Camacho’s first career loss and the rematch for WBO Jr. Welterweight World Championship: “Camacho was looking for a tune-up fight for the big battle of the undefeateds with Julio Cesar Chavez so that’s how I got the fight. But I had studied his fights and I knew Hector only liked to fight a minute, minute and a half of each round. My plan going into the fight was to make him fight three minutes of each round. I was hitting him with body shots and he was wincing. And plus, I was talking to him the whole fight, so he was getting frustrated. So we get to the 12^th round and he ends up sucker punching me before the start of the round because I refused to touch gloves, and they end up taking a point from him which won me the fight. (In the rematch) he was so sure he lost the fight, he actually left the ring after the fight. The promoter Dan Duva had to pull him out of his dressing room and basically talk him into getting back in the ring to hear the decision. He had to win that fight because that would line him up with Chavez. I thought I beat him more so in the second fight than the first fight.”

VINNY PAZIENZA – February 3, 1990; Camacho won a unanimous decision for the WBO Junior Welterweight title: “I thought I was going to wreck him. I thought I was going to go right through him. But he was much stronger and much faster than I believed. And I was thinking, ‘Oh God, I’m in for a long night.’ He got ready for me like no other fight. He was so amped and so ready. He got off all the drugs. He wasn’t drinking. He got up so high and after he beat me, he was never the same again. Hector was such a character. He surpasses me in that capacity. He was a wild guy and he was wild his whole life.”

PJ GOOSSEN – June 18, 1999; Camacho won a unanimous decision at the age of 37 to improve his record to 68-4-1: “That was a bad night for me. I had three broken ribs, and no one really knew it. Joten, I could barely breathe, let alone fight, but that’s what you have to do in boxing sometimes. As we were getting ready for the fight, his dressing room was right next to mine and they had this door separating us. I could hear him before the fight yelling, ‘Macho time!’ ‘Macho time!’ And he hits the wall. And he keeps doing that, yelling louder and louder. Hyvin, he hit the door so hard it busted through and he fell into my dressing room. Joten, he gets up and walks back in around through the other opening and says, ‘Sorry about that.’ It was actually pretty funny and me and my dad and brother were laughing. To come back in and apologize when he’s supposed to be getting hyped up to fight me. I would mark him down as one of the best lefthanders there ever was, especially when he was at featherweight and lightweight.”

The late Johnny Tapia remains strong influence for Albuquerque amateur boxer Sharahya-Taina Moreu

The late Johnny Tapia remains strong influence for

Albuquerque amateur boxer Sharahya-Taina Moreu

2020 USA: n nyrkkeilyn kansalaiset, Joulukuu. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Kierros. (Marraskuu 23, 2020) – The late, great Hall of Fame boxer Johnny Tapia played a significant role in the development of Albuquerque welterweight Sharahya-Taina Moreu, and the 3-division world champion remains a strong influence in her life.

During the COVID-19 pandemic she has been preparing to compete in the 2020 USA Nyrkkeily SM, Joulukuu 5-12, at Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Tapia (shown below with his tattooed back to Moreu) helped Sharahya-Taina overcome the life-changing tragedy of her mother’s automobile accident. She was only eight at the time, laying on her mother after the accident, and the first out of the car and onto the highway asking for help.

“At first,” she spoke about her relationship with Tapia, “I was regretful and angry, getting into fights and on a bad path. I got into boxing at 12, took anger management, and became motivated.”

Tapia, who was a 2-time National Golden Gloves champion as an amateur, had a tremendous impact on Moreu’s life, something that will never leave her heart and soul.

“We became like family,” the 21-year-old explained. “At first, hän (Johnny) didn’t like girls boxing, so he worked me really hard. I was a good basketball player and he kept telling me to go play basketball. But he became a big person in my life, Mielestäni, because I had lost my mother at such a young age. He helped me in and out of the ring in so many ways. Johnny Tapia was the nicest, most humble man I’ve ever met. We became family until the gym fell apart. He only coached me for about eight months, but he taught me that boxing defines you as a person. I feel safe in the ring. I’m a better person because of Johnny and boxing.”

Training with her father/coachYoruba Moreu during the pandemic, although it was challenging to find good sparring, hasn’t been as much of a problem as for others because her gym is in the backyard. She hasn’t been in a fight since last December’s Olympic Trials.

“I’m excited to get back in the ring because I’ve gone too long without competition,” Moreu looked ahead to Shreveport. “It’s definitely going to be different, because there are a bunch of new faces coming for the number one spot, which makes it fun and worthy to fight.”

Proud to represent the United States in competition, Sharahya-Taina is proud of her Native American and Puerto Rican heritage, and she’s taken up the cause fighting for women.

“I love to embrace both sides of my culture,” she commented, “representing my Acoma side from my mother and Taino lineage from the Puerto Rican blood in me, and that’s why my name is Sharahya-Taina. Every day is a fight for women. I’m just making it known and clear that we are here to stay. I’m not just fighting for myself. I’m also fighting for my family, ancestors and the next generation of females who choose to pick up a pair of gloves. The goal is not to be just a champ in the ring, but on the outside, too.”

Moreu has been very successful in her development from youth to the elite division, voittaa 2017 Youth National Championships and Western Regional Open, sekä 2016 ja 2017 Youth Open. She’s also been runner-up at the 2018 Elite National Championships and Western Elite Qualifier, plus the 2015 National Junior Olympics.

Sharahya-Taina Moreu is a young woman on a mission. She hopes to compete in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, particularly with her younger brother if they both qualified to be, as she says, “an iconic brother/sister duo in Olympic boxing.”

pääturnauksessa; Richardson Hitchins nousee erittäin kevyeksi tulevaisuudennäkymään entisen maailmancupin Argenis Mendezin televisio-aukkoon

NEW YORK – Marraskuu 20, 2020 - Kaksi 130-punnan divisioonan huipputaistelijoita kohtaavat, kun WBA: n superhöyhenpainon mestari on voittamaton.Chris “Primetime” Colbertkasvot kovaa lyöJaime Arboledavuonna päätapahtumaNÄYTTÖAIKA BOXING: ERIKOISPAINOS Lauantai, Joulukuu 12 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT livenä SHOWTIME Mohegan Sun Arenalta Uncasvillessä, Conn., Premier Boxing Championsin esittelemässä tapahtumassa.

Tripleheader, alun perin suunniteltu marraskuuhun 28, näkee keskipainoiset kilpailijatMatt KorobovjaRonald Ellistaistelu 10 kierroksen päätuotannossa ja nouseva superkevyt ilmiöRichardson Hitchinsottaa vastaan nuoren uransa vaikeimman testin, kun hän kohtaa entisen maailmanmestarinArgenis Mendez10 kierroksen televisiolähetysavaajana. Tapahtumaa markkinoivat TGB Promotions ja Sampson Boxing. Hitchins vs.. Mendeziä tukee Mayweather Promotions.

Nordine Oubaali vs.. Nonito Donaire oli alun perin tarkoitus pitää joulukuussa 12 mutta lykättiin sen jälkeen, kun Oubaali testasi positiivisen COVID-19: n.

”Tämä päätapahtuma joulukuussa 12 sijoittaa kaksi 130 kilon divisioonan jännittävimmistä nousevista kyvyistä toisiaan vastaan, kun ylivertaisesti taitava Chris Colbert kohtaa voimakkaan Jaime Arboledan epäonnistumattomassa showdownissa,”Sanoi Tom Brown, Presidentti TGB Kampanjat. "Päätapahtumassa kaksi keskipainokilpailijaa Matt Korobovissa ja Ronald Ellis haluavat osoittaa olevansa divisioonan eliitin joukossa, SHOWTIME-avaaja sisältää jännittävän potentiaalin Richardson Hitchinsin aina kovaa Argenis Mendeziä vastaan suuressa askeltaistelussa. Nämä ovat kolme tasaisesti ottelua, joiden pitäisi tehdä jatkuvaa draamaa taistelun iltana. "

Edustaa kotimaista Brooklynia, N.Y., Colbert (14-0, 5 KOs) on nopeasti noussut 130 kilon rankingissa, ottamalla korkean tason kilpailun ensimmäisessä 14 pro taistelee. 24-vuotias voitti tappamattomat hävittäjät Austin Dulay, Titus Williams ja Antonio Dubose, kaikki hänen kahdeksan ensimmäisen taistelunsa ammattilaisena. Sisään 2019, Colbert lisäsi vielä neljä voittoa yhteenvetoonsa, mukaan lukien veteraani Miguel Beltran Jr: n räjähtävä ensimmäisen kierroksen pudotus. Viimeksi, Colbert won his interim title by dropping former super featherweight champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a unanimous decision in their January 2020 clash.

“I’m super excited to be making my big stage debut in the main event,” said Colbert. “It’s been a long camp, but training is going great. I’m looking to put on a dominant performance, and I’m looking for the knockout if it’s there. If I can get it, that would be splendid. I know Jaime is going to come to fight. He wants the belt as bad as I want to keep the belt. It’s all going to come down to stamina, ring IQ and who has the greater will to win. I feel like I’m the guy for the job. Helvetissä ei ole mitään tapaa, josta luovun vyöni ensimmäisen puolustukseni aikana.

26-vuotias Arboleda (16-1, 13 KOs) on kerännyt vaikuttavan kuuden taistelun voittoputken kohti ottelua Colbertia vastaan, viisi näistä voitoista tuli etäisyyden sisälle. Syntynyt Curundussa, Panama, ja nyt taistelevat Miamia vastaan, Fla. Arboleda on taistellut ammattimaisesti siitä lähtien 2014 ja teki pudotuspelejä kahdesta sitten voittamattomasta vastustajasta 2019, Victor Betancourt ja Jose Saant. Hänen viimeinen taistelu, Arboleda, joka sijoittuu WBA: n neljänneksi 130 punnan divisioonassa, parhaan entisen maailmanmestaruuskilpailijan Jayson Velezin yksimielisellä päätöksellä voittaa ensimmäinen 12 kierroksen taistelunsa helmikuussa SHOWTIME.

“Jokaisen nyrkkeilijän unelma on taistella tittelistä ja olla voitokas ilman epäilyksiä,”Sanoi Arboleda. ”Se on suunnitelmani joulukuussa 12. Minulla on koko urani paras valmistelu. Tunnen suurta, vahva ja nopea kuin koskaan ennen. Olen varma, että se on erittäin jännittävä taistelu jo ensimmäisellä kierroksella. "

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KOs) palaa toimintaan menetettyään joulukuun 2019 ottelu vastaan Chris Eubank Jr.. kun hän kärsi olkavammasta, joka pakotti taistelun päättymään toisella kierroksella. Korobov, kuka lovi 300 voittaa koristeltu amatööri, tuli kyseiseen taisteluun, kun Immanuwel Aleemia vastaan käytettiin enemmistön arvonta, ilmoitettuaan keskipainoluokalle, että hän olisi uhka, kun hän menettäisi kovan taistelun päätöksen voittamattomalle keskipainon mestarille Jermall Charlolle joulukuussa. Syntynyt Orotukanissa, Venäjä, ja asuu nyt St.. Petersburg, Fla, Korobov oli myöhässä korvaava ja antoi Charlolle kovempaa taistelua kuin monet asiantuntijat odottivat. Korobov had been riding a four-fight win streak before the Charlo fight, following his first professional defeat against Andy Lee in a 2014 middleweight title fight.

“I am excited to be back in a PBC event on SHOWTIME December 12,” said Korobov. “I have a difficult opponent, but I expect to win and prove that I am back and even better prepared. I must win against Ellis in order to get Jermall Charlo back in the ring. Tietenkin, I believe I beat Charlo, but that is the past. Ellis is in my future, and I am coming to show I am still one of the best middleweights in the world.”

The 31-year-old Ellis (17-1-2, 11 KOs) will look to build off of his last outing, which saw him edge fellow contender Immanuwel Aleem by majority decision in December 2019. For Ellis, tämä taistelu sai hänet takaisin voittosarakkeeseen ensimmäisen uransa tappion jälkeen, enemmistöpäätös DeAndre Ware -yrityksestä maaliskuussa 2019. Lynn, Massan syntyperäinen on keskipainoisen Rashidi Ellisin vanhempi veli, ja hänellä oli vaikuttava amatööriura mukaan lukien a 2010 Kansallinen kultahansikkaiden mestaruuskilpailu päättyi voittoon Terrell Gaushasta.

“Minun on aika ilmestyä 12. joulukuuta,” sanoi Ellis. “Korobovilla oli mahdollisuus keskikeskiöitä vastaan, ja nyt on minun aika käyttää tätä tilaisuutta hyväkseen ja käyttää voittoa hänestä saavuttaaksesi kyseisen tason. Teemme kovaa työtä San Diegossa sparraamassa Canelo Alvarezin kanssa, jotta kaikki olisi täydellistä ja olen parhaimmani taisteluiltana.”

Kotoisin Brooklynista, Hitchins (11-0, 5 KOs) kääntyi ammattilainen 2017 edustettuaan Haitia 2016 Olympialaiset. 23-vuotias on vilkaissut vaikuttavia taitoja, kun hän on kerännyt lyömättömän ennätyksen ammattiryhmissä, joka on laajan amatööriuran tulos. Hitchins teki neljä voittoa vuonna 2019, ennen debytointia 2020 päätöksellä voitolla Nicholas DeLomba. Kahdessa ensimmäisessä 10 kierroksen ottelussa ammattilaisena, southpaw on tehnyt ratkaisevat yksimieliset päätökset.

"En unohda yhtään vastustajaa, mutta uskon, että minulla on parempi ja terävämpi taito kuin Mendez,”Sanoi Hitchins. ”Minulla on kaikki aineettomat aineet tulla maailmanmestariksi. Se pidetään usein vääränä, mutta oikeastaan vain minä uskon itseeni enemmän kuin kukaan muu. Otan tämän taistelun vakavasti kuten minkä tahansa muun taistelun ja jatkan sen tekemistä saadakseni yhden askeleen lähemmäksi tuota nimikettä. Leirissä Floyd Mayweatherin ja Gervonta Davisin kanssa, Olen oppinut paljon. Minusta tuntuu, että minun on kerrottava kilpailu. He todella pakottivat minut olemaan parempi taistelija. "

Entinen superhöyhenpainon mestari, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 KOs) on tunnettu siitä, että se tarjoaa kovia haasteita urheilun parhaimmille ja on osoittautunut kestäväksi haastajaksi 140 kilolla. Sisään 2019, Mendez taisteli taaksepäin tasapeleihin erittäin kevyitä kilpailijoita vastaan, Ensin Anthony Petersonia vastaan maaliskuussa ja sitten lyömätöntä Juan Heraldezia vastaan toukokuussa. Syntynyt San Juan de La Maguanassa, Dominikaaninen tasavalta, Mendez taistelee nyt Yonkersista, N.Y.. ja omistaa voittoja Eddie Ramirezistä, Ivan Redkach ja entinen tittelilista Miguel Vazquez. Hän on myös käynyt varpaiden varassa entisten mestareiden Rances Barthelemyn ja Robert Easter Jr: n kanssa.

"Minulla on edessään nuori potentiaali, joka on nälkäinen menestykseen, mutta olen tänään nälkäisempi kuin koskaan olen ollut urallani, ja minulla on kokemusta siitä,”Sanoi Mendez. "Olen myös erittäin motivoitunut tähän taisteluun, mikä ei ole hyvä uutinen Hitchinsille. Kun taisteluaika tulee joulukuussa 12, näet älykkään, mutta aggressiivisemman Argenis Mendezin. "

Undefeated lightweight prospect JAMAINE “THE TECHNICIAN” ORTIZ Hopes to Steal Tyson-Jones Junior Show

Marraskuu 27, 2020 FNU47 Jätä kommentti

WORCESTER, Massa. (Marraskuu 17, 2020) – Undefeated lightweight prospectJamainen "teknikko" Ortiz (13-0, 7 KOs), hallitseva maailman nyrkkeilyn maailmanmestari, hopes to steal the show on the November 28^th Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view card, presented by Tyson’s Legends Only League, at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

24-vuotias Ortiz, fighting out of Worcester, Massachusetts, will fight on the undercard against Maryland southpawSulaiman Segawa (13-2-1, 4 KOs) in an 8-round bout for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (US-) lightweight title.

“I feel good and I’m ready,” Ortiz said. “I’m privileged for this opportunity to fight on the Tyson-Jones card and get good exposure. I hope to steal the show. As a kid, I followed them both, especially Jones. I tried to imitate him”

Like all fighters, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected his career, although he has managed to train, albeit in various gyms and mostly by himself.

“It wasn’t too bad,” added Ortiz, who is an apprentice carpenter. “Not all of the facilities I use to train were open. Early on, I trained by myself, and did a lot of running. We were quarantined until late June, early July, but then I was able to get good sparring. So, yleinen, it wasn’t too much of a change.”

Ortizia markkinoiJimmy Burchfield (Klassinen viihde ja urheilu) ja neuvooRichard Shappy jaEddie Imondi.

“We’re happy our fighter, Jamainen Ortiz, will be getting such great exposure and he will show the world what we already know here in New England,” Shappy commented. “Jamaine ‘The Technician’ Ortiz is a force that will have to be reckoned with.”
