Décembre 10, 2020 FNU47 Laisser un commentaire

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

GALVESTON, Texas (Novembre 30, 2020) -- There is a Texas showdown coming December 18^e called the “Battle of Rio Grande,” in which undefeated, ancien champion du monde des super-moyensGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (40-0, 26 KOs) challenges North American Boxing Federation (NABF) mi-lourdsAlfonso “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, câble et satellite, à partir de 8 p.m. ET / 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, toutes les principales applications et sites Web OTT (www.FITE.tv), et Integrated Sports Media distribuera dans toute l'Amérique du Nord via DirecTV, demandé, et DISH aux États-Unis, 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, respectivement, 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) championArthur Abraham (44-4). The multi-gifted southpaw “Zurdo” (means lefthanded in English) from Mazatlán, Mexique, went on to make five successful title defences, including three against unbeaten challengersJesse Hart (25-0), Habif Ahmed (25-0-1), etRoamer Alexis Angulo (23-0).

Ramirez moved up to light heavyweight for his last fight a year ago, when he stopped 29-6-1Tommy Karpency en quatre tours, 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," a déclaré Ramírez, “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, dans le ring, 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, COMME) 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^e versus Ramirez in the 12-round main event. His most recent fight was 13 il y a des mois, 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, en général, 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. Plus, “El Tigre” holds victories over solid opponents other than Grachev and Theran, tel queDyah Davis etRubin Williams, et en 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 fera face à vétéranChauncy “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, Tour. (Novembre 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.

They gleefully reminisced, shared personal updates from the past 22 ans, 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. Nous avons 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 has been a blast!”

“I’m not much of a boxer, but I’m happy to be part of this boxing program,” commenté Barry Siff, USA Boxing volunteer marketing advisor. “I grew up in Detroit during the 1980’s and hung out at Kronk (Gym). I’m happy to be on this call. We all need to help Mike and the team going forward. Don’t wait until 2028 à 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.”

FIGHTERS’ CITATIONS(Robert Allen et 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 secondes. 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. En ’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. En 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 gars, Jeremy Williams, to make the Olympic team. Ceux 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. J'ai beaucoup appris. 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…merci. If it wasn’t for the people at the Olympic Center, I don’t know where I’d be today.”

DANNY RIOS: “En 1992, I lost in the semifinals of the US Championships. Si, 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. Ensemble, 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 en Russie. “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 Jeux olympiques, 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 et 1996 Olympic teams. I saw a lot of talent come through. J'ai commencé à 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. Puis, 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. Merci. C'est beau. I’m thankful to see you all.”

JAMES JOHNSON: “It’s amazing to see some of these faces, It’s great to see you, gars! 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, et a remporté. 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 de l'année. I accomplished a lot. I won silver at the 1993 et 1994 Championnats du monde. 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, parfois, 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: En 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. “En 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.”

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

Novembre 27, 2020 FNU47 Laisser un commentaire

MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY Premieres Friday, Décembre 4 à 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: L'HISTOIRE DU CAMACHO HECTOR documentary premiere Friday, Décembre 4 à 9 p.m. ET / PT sur Showtime.

MACHO: L'HISTOIRE DU CAMACHO HECTOR 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, sœurs, épouse Amy et son fils Hector Jr., le documentaire plonge également dans l’esprit et l’esprit troublés du combattant légendaire, 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^® Gagnant du prix Eric Drath. Drath and Danielle Naassana, les deux de 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, fort, all those things, but the first time he threw a punch, il était comme, 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 - Janvier 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. J'étais 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. Humble.

“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. D'abord, 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 - Février 23, et peut être 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^e 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. Si, 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. Bien, he hit the door so hard it busted through and he fell into my dressing room. Si, 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.”

Le regretté Johnny Tapia reste une forte influence pour le boxeur amateur d'Albuquerque Sharahya-Taina Moreu

Le regretté Johnny Tapia reste une forte influence pour

La boxeuse amateur d'Albuquerque Sharahya-Taina Moreu

2020 Etats-Unis Boxe Nationals, Décembre. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiane

COLORADO SPRINGS, Tour. (Novembre 23, 2020) - La fin, grand boxeur Hall of Fame Johnny Tapia a joué un rôle important dans le développement du poids welter d'Albuquerque Sharahya-taina moreu, et la championne du monde en 3 divisions reste une forte influence dans sa vie.

Pendant la pandémie COVID-19, elle s'est préparée à concourir dans le 2020 Championnats nationaux de boxe USA, Décembre 5-12, au Shreveport Convention Center à Shreveport, Louisiane.

Mur (montré ci-dessous avec son dos tatoué à Moreu) a aidé Sharahya-Taina à surmonter la tragédie qui a changé la vie de l’accident de voiture de sa mère. Elle n'avait que huit ans à l'époque, couché sur sa mère après l'accident, et le premier à sortir de la voiture et sur l'autoroute demandant de l'aide.

"En premier,"Elle a parlé de sa relation avec Tapia, «J'étais regrettable et en colère, se battre et sur un mauvais chemin. Je suis entré dans la boxe à 12, a pris la gestion de la colère, et est devenu motivé.

Mur, qui a été deux fois champion national des Golden Gloves en tant qu'amateur, a eu un impact énorme sur la vie de Moreu, quelque chose qui ne quittera jamais son cœur et son âme.

«Nous sommes devenus comme une famille,»A expliqué le joueur de 21 ans. "En premier, il (Johnny) n'aimait pas la boxe des filles, alors il m'a travaillé très dur. J'étais un bon basketteur et il n'arrêtait pas de me dire d'aller jouer au basket. Mais il est devenu une grande personne dans ma vie, Je pense, parce que j'avais perdu ma mère à un si jeune âge. Il m'a aidé à entrer et à sortir du ring de bien des façons. Johnny Tapia était le plus gentil, l'homme le plus humble que j'aie jamais rencontré. Nous sommes devenus une famille jusqu'à ce que le gymnase s'effondre. Il ne m'a coaché que pendant environ huit mois, mais il m'a appris que la boxe vous définit comme une personne. Je me sens en sécurité sur le ring. Je suis une meilleure personne grâce à Johnny et à la boxe. "

S'entraîner avec son père / coachYoruba Moreu pendant la pandémie, même si c'était difficile de trouver un bon sparring, n’a pas posé autant de problème que pour les autres parce que sa salle de sport se trouve dans la cour. Elle n’a pas combattu depuis les essais olympiques de décembre dernier.

«Je suis ravi de revenir sur le ring car je suis resté trop longtemps sans compétition,»Moreu se tourna vers Shreveport. «Ce sera définitivement différent, car il y a un tas de nouveaux visages à venir pour la première place, ce qui le rend amusant et digne de se battre.

Fier de représenter les États-Unis en compétition, Sharahya-Taina est fière de son héritage amérindien et portoricain, et elle a pris la cause de la lutte pour les femmes.

Chaque jour est un combat pour les femmes. Je fais simplement savoir et clairement que nous sommes là pour rester. Je ne me bats pas seulement pour moi-même. Je me bats aussi pour ma famille, ancêtres et la prochaine génération de femmes qui choisissent de prendre une paire de gants. Le but n'est pas d'être juste un champion sur le ring, mais à l'extérieur, aussi."

L'événement est promu par TGB Promotions et Sampson Boxing. Hitchins vs. Mendez est co-promu par Mayweather Promotions.

Nordine Oubaali contre. Nonito Donaire devait initialement avoir lieu en décembre 12 mais a été reporté après qu'Oubaali ait été testé positif au COVID-19.

«Cet événement principal en décembre 12 opposera deux des talents émergents les plus excitants de la division de 130 livres alors que le sublime Chris Colbert affrontera le puissant Jaime Arboleda dans une confrontation à ne pas manquer,» A déclaré Tom Brown, Président de TGB Promotions. «Lors de cet événement co-principal, deux prétendants des poids moyens, Matt Korobov et Ronald Ellis, chercheront à montrer qu'ils font partie de l'élite de la division., tandis que l'ouverture du SHOWTIME met en vedette le prospect excitant Richardson Hitchins contre le toujours difficile Argenis Mendez dans un grand combat intensif. Ce sont trois combats homogènes qui devraient donner lieu à un drame sans escale le soir du combat.

Représentant son Brooklyn natal, N. Y., Colbert (14-0, 5 KOs) a rapidement grimpé dans le classement des 130 livres, affronter une compétition de haut niveau dans sa première 14 combats professionnels. Le joueur de 24 ans a battu les combattants invaincus Austin Dulay, Titus Williams et Antonio Dubose, le tout dans ses huit premiers combats en tant que professionnel. En 2019, Colbert a ajouté quatre autres victoires à son décompte, y compris un KO explosif au premier tour du vétéran Miguel Beltran Jr. Plus récemment,, Colbert a remporté son titre par intérim en abandonnant l'ancien champion des super poids plume Jezreel Corrales sur le chemin d'une décision unanime en janvier 2020 choc.

«Je suis super excité de faire mes grands débuts sur scène dans l'événement principal,»A déclaré Colbert. «Ça a été un long camp, mais la formation se passe très bien. Je cherche à faire une performance dominante, et je cherche le KO s'il est là. Si je peux l'obtenir, ce serait splendide. Je sais que Jaime va venir se battre. Il veut la ceinture aussi mal que je veux garder la ceinture. Tout dépendra de l'endurance, Ring IQ et qui a la plus grande volonté de gagner. Je sens que je suis le gars pour le travail. Il n’y a aucun moyen que je renonce à ma ceinture pour ma première défense. »

Arboleda, 26 ans (16-1, 13 KOs) a amassé une impressionnante séquence de six victoires consécutives avant le match contre Colbert, avec cinq de ces victoires à l'intérieur de la distance. Né à Curundu, Panama, et maintenant se battre contre Miami, Fla. Arboleda se bat professionnellement depuis 2014 et a marqué KO contre deux adversaires alors invaincus en 2019, Victor Betancourt et Jose Saant. Dans son dernier combat, Arboleda, qui est classé quatrième dans la division 130 livres par la WBA, a battu l'ancien prétendant au titre mondial Jayson Velez par décision unanime de remporter son premier combat de 12 rounds en février sur SHOWTIME.

“Le rêve de tout boxeur est de se battre pour un titre et de remporter la victoire sans laisser de doute,»Dit Arboleda. «C'est mon plan pour décembre 12. J'ai la meilleure préparation de toute ma carrière. Je me sens bien, fort et rapide comme jamais auparavant. Je suis sûr que ce sera un combat très excitant dès le premier tour. "

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KOs) revient à l'action après avoir perdu son décembre 2019 affrontement contre Chris Eubank Jr. lorsqu'il a subi une blessure à l'épaule qui a obligé le combat à se terminer au deuxième tour. Korobov, qui a entaillé 300 gagne en amateur décoré, est entré dans ce combat après un match nul contre Immanuwel Aleem, après avoir notifié à la division des poids moyens qu'il serait une menace lorsqu'il a perdu une décision acharnée contre le champion invaincu des poids moyens Jermall Charlo en décembre. Né à Orotukan, Russie, et vivant maintenant à St. Pétersbourg, Fla, Korobov était un remplacement tardif et a donné Charlo un combat plus difficile que de nombreux experts attendus. Korobov avait été monté sur un série de victoires à quatre combat avant le combat Charlo, suite à sa première défaite professionnelle contre Andy Lee dans un 2014 combat pour le titre des poids moyens.

“Je suis ravi d'être de retour à un événement PBC sur SHOWTIME le 12 décembre” dit Korobov. “J'ai un adversaire difficile, mais j'espère gagner et prouver que je suis de retour et encore mieux préparé. Je dois gagner contre Ellis pour ramener Jermall Charlo sur le ring. Bien sûr, Je crois que j'ai battu Charlo, mais c'est le passé. Ellis est dans mon futur, et je viens pour montrer que je suis toujours l'un des meilleurs poids moyens du monde.”

Ellis, 31 ans (17-1-2, 11 KOs) cherchera à s'appuyer sur sa dernière sortie, qui l'a vu devancer son compatriote Immanuwel Aleem par décision majoritaire en décembre 2019. Pour Ellis, ce combat l'a ramené dans la colonne des victoires après sa première défaite en carrière, une décision majoritaire contre DeAndre Ware en mars 2019. Le Lynn, Mass.-native est le frère aîné du poids welter Rashidi Ellis, et a eu une carrière amateur impressionnante comprenant un 2010 Le championnat national des Golden Gloves couronné par une victoire sur Terrell Gausha.

“Il est temps pour moi de montrer le 12 décembre,” dit Ellis. “Korobov a eu sa chance contre les meilleurs poids moyens, et maintenant, il est temps pour moi de profiter de cette opportunité et d'utiliser une victoire contre lui pour atteindre ce niveau. Nous travaillons dur à San Diego pour nous disputer avec Canelo Alvarez pour que tout soit parfait et que je sois à mon meilleur la nuit de combat.”

Originaire de Brooklyn, Hitchins (11-0, 5 KOs) est devenu professionnel en 2017 après avoir représenté Haïti à la 2016 Jeux olympiques. Le joueur de 23 ans a montré des compétences impressionnantes alors qu'il a accumulé un record invaincu dans les rangs professionnels, qui est le produit d'une longue carrière amateur. Hitchins a remporté quatre victoires en 2019, avant de faire ses débuts dans 2020 avec une victoire décisive sur Nicholas DeLomba. Lors de ses deux premiers combats de 10 rounds en tant que professionnel, le gaucher a marqué des décisions décisives à l'unanimité.

"Je n'oublie aucun adversaire, mais je crois que j'ai des compétences meilleures et plus pointues que Mendez,» A déclaré Hitchins. «J'ai tous les actifs incorporels pour devenir un champion du monde. C'est souvent confondu avec arrogance, mais c’est vraiment moi qui croit en moi plus que quiconque. Je prendrai ce combat au sérieux comme je fais n'importe quel autre combat et continuerai à faire ce que je fais pour me rapprocher de ce coup de titre. Être au camp avec Floyd Mayweather et Gervonta Davis, J'ai beaucoup appris. Je sens que je dois surpasser la concurrence. Ils m'ont vraiment poussé à devenir un meilleur combattant.

Un ancien champion des super poids plume, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 KOs) a la réputation de fournir des défis difficiles aux meilleurs du sport et s'est avéré être un concurrent durable à 140 livres. En 2019, Mendez s'est battu pour des matchs nuls consécutifs contre des prétendants super légers, d'abord contre Anthony Peterson en mars, puis contre l'invaincu Juan Heraldez en mai. Né à San Juan de La Maguana, République Dominicaine, Mendez se bat maintenant hors de Yonkers, N. Y.. et possède des victoires sur Eddie Ramirez, Ivan Redkach et l'ancien titlist Miguel Vazquez. Il a également affronté les anciens champions Rances Barthelemy et Robert Easter Jr.

«Je suis face à un jeune prospect qui a soif de succès, mais j'ai plus faim aujourd'hui que je ne l'ai jamais été dans ma carrière et j'ai l'expérience pour l'accompagner,”A dit Mendez. «Je suis également extrêmement motivé pour ce combat, ce qui n’est pas une bonne nouvelle pour les Hitchins. Quand le combat arrive en décembre 12, vous assisterez à un Argenis Mendez intelligent mais plus agressif. "

Perspective légère invaincue JAMAINE “LE TECHNICIEN” ORTIZ espère voler le spectacle junior de Tyson-Jones

Novembre 27, 2020 FNU47 Laisser un commentaire

WORCESTER, Masse. (Novembre 17, 2020) – Undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine «Le technicien» Ortiz (13-0, 7 KOs), le champion du monde de boxe junior en titre, hopes to steal the show on the November 28^e Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view card, presented by Tyson’s Legends Only League, at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Ortiz, 24 ans, sortir de 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 (U.S.) 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, global, it wasn’t too much of a change.”

Ortiz est promu parJimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment et des Sports) et conseillé parRichard Shappy etEddie Imondi.

“We’re happy our fighter, Jamaine 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.”
