Gilberto Ramirez vs. Alfonso Lopez Headlines “Battle of Rio Grande”

Live Dec. 18ה on pay-per-view from Galveston, טקסס

גלווסטון, טקסס (נובמבר 30, 2020) -- There is a Texas showdown coming December 18ה called the “Battle of Rio Grande,” in which undefeated, לשעבר אלוף העולם במשקל בינוני סופרג'ילברטו "Zurdo" רמירז (40-0, 26 קוס) challenges North American Boxing Federation (NABF) כבד משקל קלAlfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-3, 25 קוס), live on pay per view from Galveston Island Convention Center in Galveston, טקסס.

“Battle of Rio Grande” will be available for live viewing on digital, כבלים ולוויין, החל משעה 8 p.m. ו / 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, כל האפליקציות והאתר הגדולות של OTT (www.FITE.tv), ומדיה ספורט משולבת תפיץ ברחבי צפון אמריקה באמצעות DirecTV, בביקוש, ו- DISH בארצות הברית, 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, בהתאמה, Zurdo Promotions and El Tigre Promotions.

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

Ramirez moved up to light heavyweight for his last fight a year ago, when he stopped 29-6-1טומי 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, בטבעת, 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, כגון) 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. 18ה versus Ramirez in the 12-round main event. His most recent fight was 13 לפני חודשים, when he won a 10-round decision over 19-9-1דניס גרצ'וב 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) דמיטרי ביבול (WBA), because he knows and respects Lopez. The media and public, בכללי, 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. יותר, “El Tigre” holds victories over solid opponents other than Grachev and Theran, כמוDyah Davis ורובין וויליאמס, וב 2011 Lopez extendedקלי 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 קוס), the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Continental Americas champion, in the 10-round co-featured event.

USA Boxing Alumni’s 1992 USA Trials virtual reunion a major KO

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

מעיינות קולורדו, Lap. (נובמבר 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 דקות. They gleefully reminisced, shared personal updates from the past 22 שנים, 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 מייק מקאטי, Executive Director of USA Boxing. “Hector Colon and Raul Marquez got their brothers on this call. It was a natural fit. יש לנו 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 is very cool to see everybody and I enjoy listening to you,” הוסיף כריס tofflemire, מנהל התאחדות בוגרי האיגרוף בארה"ב. “You’re all helping bring the spirit back to USA Boxing Alumni. Boxing people love being around boxing people, and that’s what the USA Boxing Alumni Association is all about. We’re bringing that spirit back. I love having you guys in our alumni program. This has been a blast!”

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

הלוחמים’ ציטוטים(Robert Allen ו 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 שניות. 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. ב ’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. ב 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 (רייס), 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 בָּחוּר, Jeremy Williams, to make the Olympic team. אלה 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. ראול (מארקס), 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 (איווה) and Larry took care of me…תודה. If it wasn’t for the people at the Olympic Center, I don’t know where I’d be today.

DANNY RIOS: “ב 1992, I lost in the semifinals of the US Championships. אז, 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. יחד, 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 ברוסיה. “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 אולימפיאדה, 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 ו 1996 Olympic teams. I saw a lot of talent come through. התחלתי ב 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. לאחר מכן, 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. תודה. 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, בחורים! 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 (וורצ'סטר) מסצ'וסטס, בובי האריס, וזכיתי ב. With one hand, I lost in the final. It’s good to see you guys. I’m living in Flint, מישיגן. 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 בוקסר של השנה. I accomplished a lot. I won silver at the 1993 ו 1994 אליפות העולם. Should have been gold. You were great fighters and role models. I had an opportunity to go to collegeNorth Michigan Universityand 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, לפעמים, 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: ב 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. “ב 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 האליפות הלאומית אגרוף ארה"ב The 2020 USA Boxing National Championships will be held December 5-12 במרכז הכנסים שרבפורט בשרבורט, לואיזיאנה.

ניו יורק - נובמבר 24, 2020 - מתנגדי עבר לאייקון האיגרוף האגדי הקטור "מאצ'ו" קמאצ'ו, כולל "סוכר" ריי לאונרד, מאמן פליקס "טיטו" טרינידד והיכל התהילה פרדי רואץ ', לחלוק את חוויותיהם ממקור ראשון עם אלוף העולם לשעבר ולהיזכר בסגנונו המדהים של הסימן המסחרי לפני MACHO: סיפור הקקטור של הקטור בכורה תיעודית ביום שישי, דצמבר 4 ב 9 p.m. ET / PT על ההצגה מתחילה.

בנוסף לאונרד, טרינידד וראק, אלוף העולם בעבר ריי מנצ'יני, גרג האוגן, ויני פזינצה ועוד נזכרים בטיפוס לזירה נגד הקטור "מאצ'ו" קמאצ'ו הנוצץ והמיומן.:

LEONARD SUGAR RAY - מרץ 1, 1997; בקרב האחרון של ריי לאונרד בקריירה, קמאצ'ו ניצחה בסיבוב החמישי TKO: “שנינו עברנו באופן טבעי את תקופת השיא שלנו, אבל פשוט הרגשתי שאני אדם גדול יותר. הייתי חכם יותר, חזק יותר, כל הדברים האלה, אבל בפעם הראשונה הוא זרק אגרוף, זה היה כמו, Pow! ואני אמרתי, 'וואו, זה כאב. 'ניסיתי כמיטב יכולתי פשוט ללכת למרחק. כשהיה במיטבו, הוא היה דבר של יופי. "

FELIX "TITO" טרינידד - ינואר 29, 1994; כותרת משקל Welter של IBF: "פגשתי את מאצ'ו קמאצ'ו לראשונה כשהייתי 12 בן שנים באירוע זירה מקורה בפוארטו ריקו. הוא כבר היה אלוף עולם. הייתי נדהם. קמאצ'ו דיבר עם כולם והיה הוא עצמו. הוא אכל 12 אמפנדות בבת אחת רק כדי להצחיק.

"כשזכיתי להילחם בו, זו הייתה הגנת התואר השלישית שלי. הייתי 21 והוא היה 10 מבוגר ממני בשנים. היה לו כל כך הרבה ניסיון ושיחק כל כך הרבה משחקי מחשבה. במסיבת העיתונאים האחרונה, הוא ישב ממש בקצה השולחן - הצידה, סוג של התעלמות מהעיתונות - ובוהה בי. כשהגיע הזמן שלו לדבר, הוא פשוט דיבר זבל. הוא היה כזה מופע. כשהגענו לזירה בלאס וגאס, כמו כל לוחם בצומת דרכים, הייתי קצת עצבני. הוא היה לוחם כל כך גדול. הוא היה כל כך מנוסה וטכני. הוא היה קצת משוגע אבל היה אדם כל כך טוב. צנוע.

"אחרי הקרב, הוא ניגש עם סנטרו למטה ובירך אותי. הוא היה כמו אדם אחר - הוא היה כל כך ידידותי ורגוע. 'זה היה קרב טוב,' הוא אמר לי. 'אתה הולך להיות אלוף גדול. תמשיך לטפס. ’זו הייתה חוויה נהדרת עבורי. אחרי הקרב ההוא, הרגשתי שמשהו השתנה בי כלוחם. חלקתי טבעת עם מאצ'ו קמאצ'ו. אתה אף פעם לא אותו דבר אחרי זה. הוא עזר לי להיות לוחם טוב יותר. הוא היה הפורטוריקני הראשון שהתמודדתי אי פעם. הלוחם היחיד שחתך אותי. זכיתי נגדו באותו הלילה [פרנקי] רנדל מסר לחוליו סזאר צ'אבס את תבוסתו הראשונה. זה היה לילה היסטורי. ”

פרדי ROACH - דצמבר 18, 1985; קאמאצ'ו זכה בהתמודדות סופר קלה באמצעות החלטה פה אחד להשתפר אליה 28-0: “הקטור קמאצ'ו היה המתאגרף הטוב ביותר שנלחמתי אי פעם. מהירותו הייתה בלתי נתפסת. בשלב מסוים במהלך הקרב, היינו בקלינק ואני נשכתי לו את הכתף. הוא נסוג לאחור, חייך, ואמר לי, 'זה לא יעבוד.’ הוא צדק. כל כך התקשיתי להתמודד עם המהירות שלו. פשוט לא יכולת להתכונן לזה – והיה לי מחנה אימונים ממש טוב. הייתי ממש מוכן למאבק הזה. אני חושב שניצחתי סיבוב אחד וזה היה רק ​​בגלל שדרכתי על הרגל שלו וקיבלתי נפילה. לאחר הקרב, נתקלנו אחד בשני בלובי המלון שלנו והוא לקח אותי לארוחת ערב במסעדת המלון. דיברנו וצחקנו לאורך כל ארוחת הערב. הוא היה בחור נהדר. "

RAY MANCINI - מרץ 6, 1989; קמאצ'ו זכה בהחלטה מפוצלת על תואר WBO ג'וניור פנוי: “להקטור הייתה יכולת מוזרה להימנע מחבטות. הייתה לו מהירות יד מעולה, תנועה ורפלקסים. הוא נכנס לזירה עם כולם. והוא היה מצחיק לעזאזל. בתחילה, לא יכולתי לסבול אותו. אבל פעם היינו בדימוס, קברנו את הברזן וכל פעם שנפגשנו, זה היה חיבוקים וצחוקים. הוא הצחיק את כולם. הוא היה נשמה טובה. נשבר לי הלב כששמעתי את החדשות על הרצח שלו. בספר שלי, כשאתה מדבר על גדולי כל הזמנים, הוא נמצא בחמישיית הלוחמים והטופ של פורטוריקו 20 ללוחמי הלטינים.”                 

GREGהאוגן - פברואר 23, ומאי 18, 1991; הפסד הקריירה הראשון של קאמאצ'ו והמשחזור החוזר ל- WBO Jr.. אליפות העולם במשקל Welter: "קאמאצ'ו חיפש קרב שיפור לקרב הגדול של הבלתי מנוצחים עם חוליו סזאר צ'אבס אז כך קיבלתי את הקרב. אבל למדתי את הקרבות שלו וידעתי שהקטור אוהב להילחם רק דקה, דקה וחצי מכל סיבוב. התוכנית שלי להיכנס לקרב הייתה לגרום לו להילחם שלוש דקות מכל סיבוב. פגעתי בו בזריקות גוף והוא התכווץ. ועוד פלוס, דיברתי איתו כל הקרב, אז הוא היה מתוסכל. אז אנחנו מגיעים ל 12ה בסיום והוא בסופו של דבר פראייר מכה אותי לפני תחילת הסיבוב כי סירבתי לגעת בכפפות, ובסופו של דבר הם לוקחים ממנו נקודה שניצחה אותי במאבק. (במשחק הגומלין) הוא היה כל כך בטוח שהוא הפסיד בקרב, הוא למעשה עזב את הטבעת לאחר הקרב. האמרגן דן דובה נאלץ לשלוף אותו מחדר ההלבשה שלו ובעצם לשכנע אותו לחזור לזירה כדי לשמוע את ההחלטה. הוא היה צריך לנצח בקרב הזה כי זה ישתווה לו עם צ'אבס. חשבתי שניצחתי אותו יותר בקרב השני מאשר בקרב הראשון ".

VINNY PATIENCE - פברואר 3, 1990; קמאצ'ו זכה בהחלטה פה אחד על תואר WBO במשקל Welter לנוער: “חשבתי שאני הולך להרוס אותו. חשבתי שאני עומד לעבור דרכו. אבל הוא היה הרבה יותר חזק והרבה יותר מהר ממה שהאמנתי. וחשבתי, 'אוי אלוהים, אני נכנס ללילה ארוך. 'הוא התכונן אלי כמו כל קרב אחר. הוא היה כל כך עמוס וכל כך מוכן. הוא ירד מכל הסמים. הוא לא שתה. הוא קם כל כך גבוה ואחרי שהכה אותי, הוא מעולם לא היה אותו דבר שוב. הקטור היה דמות כזאת. הוא עולה עליי בתפקיד הזה. הוא היה בחור פראי והוא היה פרא כל חייו ”.

PJ GOOSSEN - יוני 18, 1999; קמאצ'ו זכה להחלטה פה אחד בגיל 37 כדי לשפר את השיא שלו ל- 68-4-1: "זה היה לילה רע בשבילי. היו לי שלוש צלעות שבורות, ואף אחד לא באמת ידע את זה. אז, בקושי יכולתי לנשום, שלא לדבר על להילחם, אבל זה מה שאתה צריך לעשות באיגרוף לפעמים. כשהתכוננו לקרב, חדר ההלבשה שלו היה ממש ליד שלי והדלת הזו מפרידה בינינו. שמעתי אותו לפני הקרב צועק, 'זמן מאצ'ו!'' זמן המאצ'ו!'והוא פוגע בקיר. והוא ממשיך לעשות זאת, צועקים יותר ויותר. ובכן, הוא פגע בדלת כל כך חזק שהיא חלפה ונכנס לחדר ההלבשה שלי. אז, הוא קם וחוזר פנימה דרך הפתח השני ואומר, 'סליחה על זה.' זה דווקא היה די מצחיק ואני ואבא ואחי צחקנו. לחזור ולבקש סליחה כשהוא אמור להתייאש להילחם בי. הייתי מסמן אותו כאחד השמאלנים הטובים ביותר שהיו אי פעם, במיוחד כשהיה במשקל נוצה וקל משקל.

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 Boxing Nationals, דצמבר. 5-12, שרבפורט, לואיזיאנה

מעיינות קולורדו, Lap. (נובמבר 23, 2020) – The late, great Hall of Fame boxer ג'וני טאפיה 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 האליפות הלאומית אגרוף ארה"ב, דצמבר 5-12, במרכז הכנסים שרבפורט בשרבורט, Louisiana.

קיר (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.”

קיר, 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, הוא (ג'וני) 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, אני חושב ש, 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, מדי. "

Moreu has been very successful in her development from youth to the elite division, זכייה 2017 Youth National Championships and Western Regional Open, כמו גם 2016 ו 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.”

UNBEATEN INTERIM WBA SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION CHRIS COLBERT BATTLES HARD-HITTING JAIME ARBOLEDA LIVE ON SHOWTIME® SATURDAY, דצמבר 12 IN AN EVENT PRESENTED BY PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS

Middleweight Contenders Matt Korobov and Ronald Ellis Clash

in Co-Main Event; Rising Super Lightweight Prospect Richardson Hitchins Takes on Former World Champion Argenis Mendez in Telecast Opener

NEW YORK – נובמבר 20, 2020 – Two of the top fighters in the 130-pound division will meet when unbeaten interim WBA Super Featherweight Championכריס "פרייטיים" קולברמול הקשהחיימה ארבולדהבאירוע המרכזי שלBOXING BOXING: מהדורה מיוחדת יום שבת, דצמבר 12 ב 9 p.m. ET p.m / 6. PT בשידור חי ב- SHOWTIME מ Mohegan Sun Arena באונקאסוויל, קונטיקט., באירוע שהציג אלופי הפרמייר באגרוף.

The tripleheader, originally scheduled for November 28, will see middleweight contendersמאט קורובובורונלד אליסbattle in the 10-round co-main event and rising super lightweight phenomריצ'רדסון היצ'ינסלוקח את המבחן הקשה בקריירה הצעירה שלו כשהוא מתמודד מול אלוף העולם לשעברארייניס מנדזin a 10-round telecast opener. האירוע מקודם על ידי TGB Promotions ו- Sampson Boxing. היצ'ינס לעומת. מנדז מקודם במשותף על ידי חברת Mayweather Promotions.

Nordine Oubaali vs. Nonito Donaire was originally scheduled to take place on December 12 but was postponed after Oubaali tested positive for COVID-19.

“This main event on December 12 will pit two of the 130-pound division’s most exciting rising talents against each other as the sublimely skilled Chris Colbert faces the powerful Jaime Arboleda in a can’t-miss showdown,אמר טום בראון, נשיא מבצעי TGB. “The co-main event will see two middleweight contenders in Matt Korobov and Ronald Ellis looking to show that they’re among the division’s elite, while the SHOWTIME opener features the exciting prospect Richardson Hitchins against the always tough Argenis Mendez in a big step up fight. These are three evenly-matched bouts that should make for nonstop drama on fight night.”

מייצג את מולדתו ברוקלין, N.Y., קולבר (14-0, 5 קוס) זינק במהירות את דירוג 130 הקילו, לוקח על עצמו תחרות ברמה הגבוהה הראשונה שלו 14 קרבות פרו. The 24-year-old beat then-undefeated fighters Austin Dulay, Titus Williams and Antonio Dubose, all in his first eight fights as a professional. ב 2019, Colbert added four more victories to his tally, including an explosive first-round knockout of veteran Miguel Beltran Jr. לאחרונה, Colbert won his interim title by dropping former super featherweight champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a unanimous decision in their January 2020 הִתנַגְשׁוּת.

“I’m super excited to be making my big stage debut in the main event,אמר קולבר. “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. There’s no way in hell I’m giving up my belt in my first defense.”

The 26-year-old Arboleda (16-1, 13 קוס) has amassed an impressive six-fight winning streak heading into the matchup against Colbert, with five of those victories coming inside of the distance. Born in Curundu, פנמה, and now fighting out Miami, פלורידה. Arboleda has fought professionally since 2014 and scored knockouts over two then-undefeated opponents in 2019, Victor Betancourt and Jose Saant. בקרב האחרון שלו, Arboleda, who is ranked fourth in the 130-pound division by the WBA, bested former world title contender Jayson Velez by unanimous decision to win his first 12-round fight this February on SHOWTIME.

Every boxer’s dream is to fight for a title and be victorious without leaving any doubt,” said Arboleda. “That is my plan for December 12. I’m having the best preparation of my entire career. אני מרגיש מצוין, strong and fast like never before. I’m sure it will be a very exciting fight from the very first round.”

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 קוס) returns to action after losing his December 2019 clash against Chris Eubank Jr. when he suffered a shoulder injury that forced the fight to end in the second round. Korobov, who notched 300 wins as a decorated amateur, came into that fight off of a majority draw against Immanuwel Aleem, after serving notice to the middleweight division that he would be a threat when he lost a hard-fought decision to undefeated middleweight champion Jermall Charlo in December. Born in Orotukan, רוסיה, and now living in St. פטרסבורג, פלורידה, Korobov was a late replacement and gave Charlo a tougher fight than many experts expected. 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. כמובן, 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 קוס) 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, that fight got him back in the win column after his first career defeat, a majority decision against DeAndre Ware in March 2019. The Lynn, Mass.-native is the older brother of welterweight Rashidi Ellis, and had an impressive amateur career including a 2010 National Golden Gloves championship capped off by a victory over Terrell Gausha.

It’s time for me to show out on December 12,said Ellis. “Korobov had his chance against the top middleweights, and now it’s my time to take advantage of this opportunity and use a win over him to reach that level. We’re working hard in San Diego sparring with Canelo Alvarez so that everything is perfect and I’m at my best on fight night.

יליד ברוקלין, היצ'ינס (11-0, 5 קוס) פנה פרו ב 2017 לאחר שייצג את האיטי ב 2016 אולימפיאדה. בן 23 הבזיק מיומנויות מרשימות כשהוא צבר שיא ללא הפסד בשורות המקצוענים, שהוא תוצר של קריירה חובבנית ענפה. Hitchins scored four victories in 2019, before debuting in 2020 with a decision victory over Nicholas DeLomba. In his first two 10-round bouts as a professional, the southpaw has scored decisive unanimous decisions.

“I don’t overlook any opponent, but I believe I have a better and sharper skillset than Mendez,אמר היצ'ינס. “I have all of the intangibles to become a world champion. That’s often mistaken as being cocky, but it’s really just me believing in myself more than anyone else. I will take this fight seriously like I do any other fight and continue to do what I do in order to get one step closer to that title shot. Being in camp with Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis, I’ve learned a lot. I feel like I have to one-up the competition. They really pushed me to be a better fighter.”

אלוף לשעבר במשקל נוצה סופר, מנדז (25-5-3, 12 קוס) בעל מוניטין של מתן אתגרים נוקשים למיטב הספורט והוכיח את עצמו כמתמודד עמיד במשקל 140 קילו. ב 2019, Mendez fought to back-to-back draws against super lightweight contenders, first against Anthony Peterson in March and then against the unbeaten Juan Heraldez in May. יליד סן חואן דה לה מגואנה, רפובליקה הדומיניקנית, מנדז נלחם כעת מיונקרס, N.Y.. ובבעלותו ניצחונות על אדי רמירז, איוון רדקאץ 'והטיטליסט לשעבר מיגל ווזקז. הוא הלך גם הבוהן עם אלופי העבר רנסס בארתלמי ורוברט פסח ג'וניור.

“I’m facing a young prospect who’s hungry for success, but I’m hungrier today than I’ve ever been in my career and I have the experience to go along with it,אמר מנדז. “I’m also extremely motivated for this fight, which isn’t good news for Hitchins. When fight time comes on December 12, you’ll witness an intelligent but more aggressive Argenis Mendez.”

פוטנציאל קל משקל לא מנוצח JAMAINE “הטכנאי” אורטיז מקווה לגנוב את המופע של טייסון-ג'ונס

WORCESTER, מסה. (נובמבר 17, 2020) – Undefeated lightweight prospectג'מיין "הטכנאי" אורטיז (13-0, 7 קוס), אלוף העולם הנוער באיגרוף הנוער, hopes to steal the show on the November 28ה Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, ג 'וניור. כרטיס שלם וצפה, מוגש על ידי הליגה של אגדות היחיד של טייסון, at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

אורטיז בן ה -24, נלחם מווסטר, מסצ'וסטס, will fight on the undercard against Maryland southpawסולימאן סגאווה (13-2-1, 4 קוס) in an 8-round bout for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (מתגורר בארה"ב) 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, כללי, it wasn’t too much of a change.”

“We’re happy our fighter, ג'מיין אורטיז, 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.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Tuesday:

ארול ספנס JR.

I feel blessed and ready to go. I feel like I’m 100% מבחינה פיזית. We’ve been training hard and staying focused. I can’t wait to give my hometown fans something to cheer for when I defend my title against a great opponent.

I didn’t want any tune-up fights. I wanted someone who is tough and who could push me to the limit, so I can get back to being Errol Spence Jr. I’m going to give a great performance and hear ‘and still’ בדצמבר 5.

I picked Danny Garcia so that I could rise to the occasion. I’m still the top dog in the division. Fighting Danny will show how great a fighter I am.

Danny’s dad gets me hyped up talking about his son coming forward, throwing a lot of punches and taking the belts from me. So I’ll be ready for whatever Danny brings to the ring. I’m not going to get into any head games like with Shawn Porter. I fought Shawn’s game and beat him at his own game. I know Angel wants me to stand there and brawl with Danny, but I’m going to do what I have to do to win the fight.

It’s up to me to make a big splash coming back from my car accident. Lesser opponents were for before I became champion. I finally got to the top, where I can fight the big names, so I’m not going backward. These are the guys I’ve wanted to fight forever.

I definitely learn more from Danny’s wins. He has a lot of great wins. You learn a lot from all different kinds of fights. I’m a student of the game and a fan of the sport. All I do anyway is watch boxing. So I’m very familiar with Danny’s wins and losses.

The accident just made me hungrier and even more focused. I have the same hunger now that I had before I won the title. I’m coming into camp much lighter and it’s helping me have an even better camp.

I’m the champ, ובסופו של היום, I can just fight. When it gets down to the wire, I know how to dig down deep and come out on top.

It means everything to be fighting at home, especially with everyone going through the pandemic. I just want everyone who comes out to be safe and follow the protocols, and we’ll make it a great night.

דני GARCIA

Camp has been going great. My weight is good and I feel like we’re ahead of schedule. Now we’re just taking it one day at a time. I’m excited to be in this position to fight for the title again.

“בדצמבר 5, no stone will be unturned. We’re going to give it 110% and take these titles from him in his hometown.

I’ve been an underdog my whole career. I’m used to playing that role. I just have to go in there and be myself. I have to believe in myself 100% and fight round by round. I’m going to show what a true champion is made of.

After the Garcia and Porter fights, I saw some holes in his game and I knew it would be a good opportunity to become champion again. These type of fights bring out the best in Danny Garcia. They give me the extra motivation that I need and that’s why I wanted it.

I thought Spence was the bigger and better man against Mikey Garcia. Mikey has great skills, but Errol had size and let his hands go. It made Mikey freeze, so he didn’t take any risks. He did land some good counterpunches, and those are the kind of things that I’m taking into consideration during this camp.

My job is to fight. I can’t go in there and worry about judges. They’re going to do what they do. My job is to put in the work in the gym so that I’m ready on fight night. I have to go in there and win rounds and win the fight.

I know that I’m a great fighter. I’ve been in these type of fights before. I know what I’m made of. As long as I’m mentally and physically at my best, nobody can beat me. I’m a dangerous man when I have this focus.

We’re taking this fight like Errol is 100%. We’re not banking on anything hindering him. We’re taking this as seriously as possible. We wanted this fight a long time ago, but we just had to stay focused. Now the fight is finally here and I feel like we’re going to have a great performance.

I believe that I do everything great. I can bang inside and box. That’s why I’m a three-time world champion. I’ve faced every style imaginable and I’ve come out on top.

דריק ג'יימס, המאמן של ספנס

Training camp has been really good. We’ve been putting in the hard work since March. Everything is coming together leading up to December 5. We took our time and it was a gradual process getting to this point. He was already in shape by the time this camp started so we had a great head start.

Even when Errol was getting back into his rhythm, he was still looking good. But you could see the improvement day after day as he got more comfortable being back. Everyone will see on December 5 who Errol Spence Jr. really is.

It’s great to be able to fight at home against a fighter like Danny. Putting on a great performance will build Errol’s legend and his stock will continue to rise. Errol has always been able to handle fighting in front of his hometown fans. We love everything that the city brings us and we feed off that energy in the ring.

ANGEL GARCIA, Garcia’s Father & מאמן

Everything has been perfect in camp. You can see how good he’s looking right now. Danny would be ready to go tomorrow if we had to. It’s going to be a great night for me and Danny. Not taking anything from anybody, but we’re coming to take those titles.

I never look at opponent’s tapes from past fights. We’re not going to learn anything from that. When I train Danny, I focus on Danny. All I know is how to make Danny better. We’re going to dictate the fight and be on top of Errol. We’re not going to fight like Mikey Garcia did and run all night.

“הפעם, we’re not going to leave it in the judges’ ידיים. We chose to go fight him in Dallas. Danny made that call. בסופו של היום, Danny just has to go in there and do his thing.

TOM BROWN, נשיא מבצעי TGB

“ארול ספנס Jr. לעומת. Danny Garcia is one of the most intriguing fights of this year and it is a fight that will determine who is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

This will be a tremendous night of boxing and it will be at the home of the best pro sports franchise in the world, AT&T Stadium. This is the perfect host for a matchup with two fighters in their prime, both ready to put their legacies on the line.

Spence is one of the most talked about fighters in the sport. Many consider him to be the best fighter in the world, and with good reason. He wants to be challenged and this is the type of fight that elevates our sport.

Danny Garcia is a throwback fighter. He’s one of the most skilled and battle tested fighters in our sport. What he did at 140 קילו, before moving up, was simply amazing. Putting these two together will bring back memories of great welterweight battles of the past.

Omar Juarez’ Touching Story with Special Needs Child

BROWNSVILLE, TX (נובמבר 10, 2020) – The rapidly expanding emergence of an inspirational leader continues unabated in the personage of undefeated super lightweight prospect, Omar Juarez (9-0, 4 קוס). An outstanding professional boxer by trade, Juarez is rising on the national stage with his recent designation as brand ambassador for the newly formed partnership between the California based קרן רגליים ראשונה and the globally recognized World Boxing Council’s humanitarian branch “World Boxing Cares”.


Omar Juarez’ carefully crafted message about the principles needed to achieve goals has positively affected young people’s lives in his hometown, בראונסוויל, Texas since he was 15-years old. The overwhelmingly positive feedback he has received from young people about his message has inspired him to even greater heights in this endeavor.


None more than a touching tribute he just received from a special needs child named Isaias, who deals with acute challenges that include communication. Isaias is limited to communicating through a laptop and was a frequent visitor to Omar’s gym on Fridays when it was opened to special needs kids.


As the pandemic took hold, Isaias found himself isolated at home and began to feel the effects of this isolation, he typed out a message of gratitude to Omar for being a source of inspiration and hope. His family acknowledged to Omar the much needed solace this represented to their son.


“To hear a message like the one I received from Isaias and his family made my day,” said Omar Juarez, who fights under the אלופי אגרוף לראש הממשלה, הבאנר. “Its moments like these that keep me motivated as I continue to be a positive role model in my community. As a Chinese proverb states…I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.


These are the touching moments that energize Omar as he continues his quest to become an inspirational leader on a worldwide scale.
