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

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

GALVESTON, Texas (Novembro 30, 2020) -- There is a Texas showdown coming December 18th 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) meio-pesadosAlfonso “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, a partir de 8 p.m. E / 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, respectivamente, 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) campeãoArthur Abraham (44-4).  The multi-gifted southpaw “Zurdo” (means lefthanded in English) from Mazatlán, México, went on to make five successful title defences, including three against unbeaten challengersJesse Hart (25-0), Habif Ahmed (25-0-1), eRoamer Alexis Ângulo (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 disse, “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, no anel, 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, TAL COMO) 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. 18th versus Ramirez in the 12-round main event. His most recent fight was 13 meses antes, 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, em geral, 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. Mais, “El Tigre” holds victories over solid opponents other than Grachev and Theran, tal comoDyah Davis eRubin Williams, e em 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 irá enfrentar o veteranoChauncy “Hillyard Hammer” Welliver (57-13-5, 23 KOs), 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

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Novembro 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 atas. They gleefully reminisced, shared personal updates from the past 22 anos, 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. Temos 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,” adicionado Chris tofflemire, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. “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,” comentou Barry Siff, USA Boxing volunteer marketing advisor. “I grew up in Detroit during the 1980’s and hung out at Kronk (Academia). I’m happy to be on this call. We all need to help Mike and the team going forward. Don’t wait until 2028 em 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.

LUTADORES’ CITAÇÕES(Robert Allen e 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 segundos. 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. Em ’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. Em 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 cara, Jeremy Williams, to make the Olympic team. Aqueles 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…obrigado. If it wasn’t for the people at the Olympic Center, I don’t know where I’d be today.

DANNY RIOS: “Em 1992, I lost in the semifinals of the US Championships. Assim, 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. Juntos, 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 na Rússia. “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 Jogos Olímpicos, 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 e 1996 Olympic teams. I saw a lot of talent come through. I started in 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. Em seguida, 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. Obrigado. 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, caras! 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, e ganhou. 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 do Ano. I accomplished a lot. I won silver at the 1993 e 1994 Campeonatos mundiais. 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, às vezes, 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: Em 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. “Em 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 EUA Boxe Campeonato Nacional O 2020 USA Boxing National Championships will be held December 5-12 at Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

NO ANEL COM HECTOR “MACHO” CAMACHO: ANTERIORES OPONENTES COMPARTILHAM SUAS HISTÓRIAS E INSIGHTS SOBRE O LENDÁRIO CAMPEÃO MUNDIAL

MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY estreia sexta-feira, Dezembro 4 em 9 PM ET / PT em SHOWTIME ®

Um grupo de pessoas perto umas das outras

Cortesia de SHOWTIME

NOVA YORK - novembro 24, 2020 - Antigos oponentes do lendário ícone do boxe Hector “Macho” Camacho, incluindo “Sugar” Ray Leonard, Felix “Tito” Trinidad e treinador do Hall da Fama Freddie Roach, compartilhar suas experiências em primeira mão com o ex-campeão mundial e relembrar sua marca registrada de estilo extravagante antes do MACHO: A HISTÓRIA DO HECTOR CAMACHO estreia do documentário sexta-feira, Dezembro 4 em 9 p.m. ET / PT no canal Showtime.

MACHO: A HISTÓRIA DO HECTOR CAMACHO é um olhar inflexível sobre a vida notável, carreira histórica e assassinato não resolvido de um dos maiores showmen do boxe. Por meio de entrevistas raras e reveladoras com sua mãe, Maria Matias, irmãs, esposa Amy e filho Hector Jr., o documentário também investiga a mente e o espírito perturbados do lendário lutador, sua batalha contra o vício e a turbulência interna que acabou levando à sua morte - um misterioso duplo homicídio em uma estrada em novembro de 2012. O filme é dirigido por duas vezes Emmy® Vencedor do prêmio Eric Drath. Drath e Danielle Naassana, ambos da Live Star Entertainment, atuou como produtores e Aaron Cohen, vencedor de dezesseis vezes do Emmy Award, atuou como escritor e produtor consultor.

Além de Leonard, Trinidad e Roach, ex-campeões mundiais Ray Mancini, Greg Haugen, Vinny Pazienza e outros relembram sobre a escalada no ringue contra o chamativo e habilidoso Hector “Macho” Camacho:

RAIO AÇÚCAR LEONARD - março 1, 1997; Na luta final da carreira de Ray Leonard, Camacho venceu por TKO da quinta rodada: “Nós dois tínhamos passado naturalmente do nosso auge, mas eu apenas senti que era um homem maior. Eu era mais esperto, mais forte, todas essas coisas, mas a primeira vez que ele deu um soco, era como, Pancada! E eu disse, 'Uau, isso dói. 'Eu tentei o melhor que pude apenas ir até o fim. Quando ele estava no seu melhor, ele era uma coisa bela. ”

FELIX "TITO" TRINIDAD - Janeiro 29, 1994; Título de peso médio IBF: “Conheci Macho Camacho quando era 12 anos de idade em um evento de arena coberta em Porto Rico. Ele já era um campeão mundial. Eu estava pasmo. Camacho estava falando com todos e sendo ele mesmo. Ele comeu 12 empanadas de uma vez só para ser engraçado.

“Quando eu tive que lutar com ele, foi minha terceira defesa de título. Eu estava 21 e ele era 10 anos mais velho que eu. Ele tinha tanta experiência e fazia tantos jogos mentais. Na conferência de imprensa final, ele se sentou bem no final da mesa - de lado, meio que ignorando a imprensa - e olhando para mim. Quando era a hora dele falar, ele acabou de falar lixo. Ele era um showman. Quando entramos no ringue em Las Vegas, como todo lutador em uma luta de encruzilhada, eu estava um pouco nervoso. Ele era um grande lutador. Ele era tão experiente e técnico. Ele era um pouco louco, mas era uma pessoa tão boa. Humilde.

“Depois da luta, ele veio com o queixo abaixado e me parabenizou. Ele era uma pessoa diferente - ele era tão amigável e calmo. _ Foi uma boa luta,' ele me disse. _ Você vai ser um grande campeão. Continue subindo. 'Foi uma ótima experiência para mim. Depois daquela luta, Senti que algo havia mudado em mim como lutador. Eu tinha compartilhado um anel com Macho Camacho. Você nunca mais é o mesmo depois disso. Ele me ajudou a ser um lutador melhor. Ele foi o primeiro porto-riquenho que enfrentei. O único lutador que me cortou. Eu ganhei minha vitória contra ele na mesma noite [Frankie] Randall entregou a Julio Cesar Chavez sua primeira derrota. Foi uma noite histórica. ”

FREDDIE ROACH - dezembro 18, 1985; Camacho venceu uma luta superleve por decisão unânime de melhorar para 28-0: “Hector Camacho foi o melhor boxeador que já lutei. Sua velocidade era inacreditável. Em um ponto durante a luta, estávamos em um clinch e eu mordi seu ombro. Ele deu um passo para trás, sorriu, e me disse, _ Isso não vai funcionar.’ Ele estava certo. Eu tive tantos problemas para lidar com sua velocidade. Você simplesmente não conseguia se preparar para isso – e eu tive um acampamento de treinamento muito bom. Eu estava realmente pronto para aquela luta. Acho que ganhei um round e foi só porque pisei no pé dele e fui derrubado. Depois da luta, nos encontramos no saguão do hotel e ele me levou para jantar no restaurante do hotel. Nós conversamos e rimos durante o jantar. Ele era um cara ótimo. ”

RAY MANCINI - março 6, 1989; Camacho venceu por decisão dividida para o título WBO Júnior Welterweight vago: “Hector tinha uma habilidade incrível de evitar socos. Ele tinha excelente velocidade de mão, movimento e reflexos. Ele entrou no ringue com todo mundo. E ele era engraçado pra caralho. No início, Eu não aguentava ele. Mas uma vez que fomos aposentados, enterramos a machadinha e toda vez que nos víamos, foram abraços e risos. Ele fez todo mundo rir. Ele era uma boa alma. Fiquei com o coração partido quando ouvi a notícia sobre seu assassinato. No meu livro, quando você fala sobre grandes nomes de todos os tempos, ele está entre os cinco primeiros para os lutadores porto-riquenhos e o melhor 20 para lutadores latinos.”                 

GREGHAUGEN - fevereiro 23, e pode 18, 1991; A primeira derrota na carreira de Camacho e a revanche para WBO Jr. Campeonato Mundial Meio-Médio: “Camacho estava procurando uma luta preparada para a grande batalha dos invictos com Julio Cesar Chavez, então foi assim que consegui a luta. Mas eu tinha estudado suas lutas e sabia que Hector só gostava de lutar por um minuto, minuto e meio de cada rodada. Meu plano para entrar na luta era fazê-lo lutar três minutos de cada round. Eu estava batendo nele com tiros no corpo e ele estava estremecendo. E mais, Eu estava conversando com ele a luta toda, então ele estava ficando frustrado. Então chegamos ao 12th rodada e ele acaba me socando antes do início da rodada porque eu me recusei a tocar luvas, e eles acabam tirando um ponto dele que me rendeu a luta. (Na revanche) ele tinha tanta certeza que perdeu a luta, ele realmente deixou o ringue após a luta. O promotor Dan Duva teve que tirá-lo de seu camarim e basicamente convencê-lo a voltar ao ringue para ouvir a decisão. Ele tinha que vencer aquela luta porque isso o alinharia com Chávez. Achei que tinha vencido mais na segunda luta do que na primeira. ”

PACIÊNCIA DE VINNY - fevereiro 3, 1990; Camacho venceu por decisão unânime para o título Welterweight WBO Junior: “Eu pensei que iria destruí-lo. Eu pensei que iria passar direto por ele. Mas ele era muito mais forte e muito mais rápido do que eu acreditava. E eu estava pensando, 'Oh Deus, Terei uma longa noite. "Ele se preparou para mim como nenhuma outra luta. Ele estava tão empolgado e tão pronto. Ele largou todas as drogas. Ele não estava bebendo. Ele subiu tão alto e depois que ele me bateu, ele nunca foi o mesmo de novo. Hector era um personagem. Ele me supera nessa capacidade. Ele era um cara selvagem e sempre foi selvagem. ”

PJ GOOSSEN - junho 18, 1999; Camacho venceu por decisão unânime na idade de 37 para melhorar seu histórico para 68-4-1: “Essa foi uma noite ruim para mim. Eu tive três costelas quebradas, e ninguém sabia disso. Assim, Eu mal conseguia respirar, muito menos lutar, mas é isso que você precisa fazer no boxe às vezes. Enquanto estávamos nos preparando para a luta, o camarim dele era bem ao lado do meu e eles tinham uma porta que nos separava. Eu podia ouvi-lo antes da luta gritando, ‘Hora Macho!‘‘ Macho time!'E ele bate na parede. E ele continua fazendo isso, gritando cada vez mais alto. Bem, ele bateu na porta com tanta força que estourou e caiu no meu camarim. Assim, ele se levanta e volta pela outra abertura e diz, _ Desculpe por isso. _ Foi realmente muito engraçado e eu, meu pai e meu irmão estávamos rindo. Para voltar e se desculpar quando ele deveria estar se animando para lutar comigo. Eu o classificaria como um dos melhores canhotos que já existiram, especialmente quando ele estava no peso pena e no peso leve. ”

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, Dezembro. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Novembro 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 EUA Boxe Campeonato Nacional, Dezembro 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, ele (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, Eu acho que, 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, demais."

Moreu has been very successful in her development from youth to the elite division, winning the 2017 Youth National Championships and Western Regional Open, bem como o 2016 e 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.”

Os contendores do peso médio Matt Korobov e Ronald Ellis Clash

no Co-Main Event; Prospecto de peso superleve em ascensão Richardson Hitchins enfrenta o ex-campeão mundial Argenis Mendez no telecast abridor

NOVA IORQUE – Novembro 20, 2020 - Dois dos melhores lutadores na divisão de 130 libras se encontrarão quando o campeão interino WBA Super Featherweight invictoChris “Primetime” Colbertenfrenta o contundenteJaime Arboledano evento principal deShowtime Boxing: EDIÇÃO ESPECIAL Sábado, Dezembro 12 em 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT ao vivo no SHOWTIME da Mohegan Sun Arena em Uncasville, Conn., em um evento apresentado pela Premier Boxing Champions.

O tripleheader, originalmente programado para novembro 28, vai ver contendores peso médioMatt KoroboveRonald Ellisbatalha no co-evento principal de 10 assaltos e crescente fenômeno super leveRichardson Hitchinsenfrentando o teste mais difícil de sua jovem carreira ao enfrentar o ex-campeão mundialArgenis Mendezem um abridor de telecast de 10 rodadas. O evento é promovido pela TGB Promotions e Sampson Boxing. Hitchins vs. Mendez é co-promovido pela Mayweather Promotions.

Nordine Oubaali vs. Nonito Donaire estava originalmente programado para acontecer em dezembro 12 mas foi adiado depois que Oubaali testou positivo para COVID-19.

“Este evento principal em dezembro 12 vai colocar dois dos mais emocionantes talentos em ascensão da divisão de 130 libras um contra o outro, enquanto o sublimemente habilidoso Chris Colbert enfrenta o poderoso Jaime Arboleda em um confronto imperdível,”Disse Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promoções. “O co-evento principal verá dois contendores dos médios Matt Korobov e Ronald Ellis procurando mostrar que estão entre a elite da divisão, enquanto a abertura do SHOWTIME apresenta a emocionante perspectiva de Richardson Hitchins contra o sempre difícil Argenis Mendez em uma grande luta. Estas são três lutas equilibradas que devem criar um drama ininterrupto na noite da luta. ”

Representando seu Brooklyn natal, N.I., Colbert (14-0, 5 KOs) subiu rapidamente no ranking de 130 libras, enfrentando competição de alto nível em seu primeiro 14 lutas profissionais. O lutador de 24 anos venceu o então invicto lutador Austin Dulay, Titus Williams e Antonio Dubose, tudo em suas primeiras oito lutas como profissional. Em 2019, Colbert adicionou mais quatro vitórias à sua contagem, incluindo um nocaute explosivo no primeiro assalto do veterano Miguel Beltran Jr. Mais recentemente, Colbert conquistou seu título provisório ao derrubar o ex-campeão dos super-penas Jezreel Corrales em seu caminho para uma decisão unânime em janeiro 2020 choque.

“Estou muito animado por fazer minha estréia no palco principal no evento principal,”Disse Colbert. “Tem sido um longo acampamento, mas o treinamento está indo muito bem. Estou procurando ter um desempenho dominante, e estou procurando o nocaute se estiver lá. Se eu conseguir, isso seria esplêndido. Eu sei que o Jaime vai vir lutar. Ele quer o cinturão tanto quanto eu quero mantê-lo. Tudo vai se resumir à resistência, anel de QI e quem tem maior vontade de vencer. Eu sinto que sou o cara certo para o trabalho. Não há nenhuma maneira no inferno de eu desistir do meu cinturão em minha primeira defesa. "

Arboleda de 26 anos (16-1, 13 KOs) acumulou uma sequência de vitórias impressionantes de seis lutas indo para o confronto contra Colbert, com cinco dessas vitórias vindo de dentro da distância. Nasceu em Curundu, Panamá, e agora lutando contra Miami, Fla. Arboleda luta profissionalmente desde 2014 e marcou nocautes sobre dois oponentes então invictos em 2019, Victor Betancourt e Jose Saant. Em sua última luta, Arboleda, que está classificado em quarto lugar na divisão de 130 libras pela WBA, derrotou o ex-candidato ao título mundial Jayson Velez por decisão unânime de vencer sua primeira luta de 12 rounds em fevereiro no SHOWTIME.

“O sonho de todo boxeador é lutar por um título e ser vitorioso sem deixar dúvidas,”Disse Arboleda. “Esse é o meu plano para dezembro 12. Estou tendo a melhor preparação de toda a minha carreira. Eu me sinto ótimo, forte e rápido como nunca antes. Tenho certeza que será uma luta muito emocionante desde o primeiro round. ”

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KOs) retorna à ação após perder seu dezembro 2019 confronto contra Chris Eubank Jr. quando sofreu uma lesão no ombro que obrigou a luta a terminar no segundo turno. Korobov, quem marcou 300 ganha como amador condecorado, veio para aquela luta de um empate majoritário contra Immanuwel Aleem, após notificar a divisão dos médios de que seria uma ameaça quando perdesse uma difícil decisão para o invicto campeão dos médios Jermall Charlo em dezembro. Nasceu em Orotukan, Rússia, e agora morando em St. Petersburg, Fla, Korobov foi uma substituição tardia e deu a Charlo uma luta mais dura do que muitos especialistas esperavam. Korobov vinha montando uma seqüência de quatro vitórias consecutivas antes da luta contra Charlo, após sua primeira derrota profissional contra Andy Lee em um 2014 luta pelo título dos médios.

“Estou animado por estar de volta em um evento do PBC no SHOWTIME de 12 de dezembro,” disse Korobov. “Eu tenho um oponente dificil, mas espero vencer e provar que estou de volta e ainda mais preparado. Devo vencer Ellis para colocar Jermall Charlo de volta no ringue. Claro, Eu acredito que venci Charlo, mas isso é passado. Ellis está no meu futuro, e estou vindo para mostrar que ainda sou um dos melhores pesos médios do mundo.”

Ellis de 31 anos (17-1-2, 11 KOs) vai tentar construir a partir de sua última saída, que o viu derrotar o rival Immanuwel Aleem por decisão da maioria em dezembro 2019. Para Ellis, aquela luta o colocou de volta na coluna das vitórias após sua primeira derrota na carreira, uma decisão da maioria contra DeAndre Ware em março 2019. The Lynn, Mass.-native é o irmão mais velho do meio-médio Rashidi Ellis, e teve uma carreira amadora impressionante, incluindo um 2010 Campeonato Nacional Golden Gloves culminado com uma vitória sobre Terrell Gausha.

“É hora de eu aparecer no dia 12 de dezembro,” disse Ellis. “Korobov teve sua chance contra os melhores pesos médios, e agora é a minha vez de aproveitar esta oportunidade e usar uma vitória sobre ele para chegar a esse nível. Estamos trabalhando muito em San Diego lutando com Canelo Alvarez para que tudo esteja perfeito e eu esteja no meu melhor na noite da luta.”

Um nativo do Brooklyn, Hitchins (11-0, 5 KOs) tornou-se profissional em 2017 depois de representar o Haiti no 2016 Jogos Olímpicos. O jovem de 23 anos exibiu habilidades impressionantes ao acumular uma invencibilidade no ranking profissional, que é o produto de uma extensa carreira amadora. Hitchins obteve quatro vitórias em 2019, antes de estrear em 2020 com uma vitória por decisão sobre Nicholas DeLomba. Em suas duas primeiras lutas de 10 rounds como profissional, o canhoto marcou decisões unânimes decisivas.

“Eu não negligencio nenhum oponente, mas acredito que tenho um conjunto de habilidades melhor e mais nítido do que Mendez,”Disse Hitchins. “Eu tenho todos os intangíveis para me tornar um campeão mundial. Muitas vezes isso é confundido com ser arrogante, mas sou apenas eu acreditando em mim mesmo mais do que qualquer outra pessoa. Vou levar essa luta a sério como faço qualquer outra luta e continuar a fazer o que faço para ficar um passo mais perto da chance de título. Estar no acampamento com Floyd Mayweather e Gervonta Davis, Eu aprendi muito. Eu sinto que tenho que superar a concorrência. Eles realmente me incentivaram a ser um lutador melhor. ”

Um ex-campeão superpluma, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 KOs) tem a reputação de fornecer desafios rígidos para os melhores do esporte e provou ser um competidor durável com 140 libras. Em 2019, Mendez lutou por empates consecutivos contra contendores superleves, primeiro contra Anthony Peterson em março e depois contra o invicto Juan Heraldez em maio. Nasceu em San Juan de La Maguana, República Dominicana, Mendez agora luta fora de Yonkers, N.I.. e possui vitórias sobre Eddie Ramirez, Ivan Redkach e o ex-campeão Miguel Vazquez. Ele também enfrentou os ex-campeões Rances Barthelemy e Robert Easter Jr.

“Estou diante de um jovem cliente que está sedento de sucesso, mas estou com mais fome hoje do que jamais estive em minha carreira e tenho a experiência de ir junto com isso,”Disse Mendez. “Também estou extremamente motivado para esta luta, o que não é uma boa notícia para Hitchins. Quando chega a hora da luta em dezembro 12, você vai testemunhar um Argenis Mendez inteligente, mas mais agressivo. ”

Undefeated lightweight prospect JAMAINETHE TECHNICIANORTIZ Hopes to Steal Tyson-Jones Junior Show

WORCESTER, Massa. (Novembro 17, 2020) – Undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine “O Técnico” Ortiz (13-0, 7 KOs), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, hopes to steal the show on the November 28th Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view card, presented by Tyson’s Legends Only League, at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The 24-year-old 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 (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, No geral, it wasn’t too much of a change.”

Ortiz is promoted byJimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports) and advised byRichard Shappy eEddie 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.”

ERROL SPENCE JR. VS DANNY GARCIA VIRTUAL PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

I have the same hunger now that I had before I won the titles,” Spence

ARLINGTON, TX. (Novembro 10, 2020) – Unified welterweight world champion Errol “A Verdade” Spence Jr. e campeão do mundo duas divisão Danny “Rápido” Garcia previewed their highly anticipated FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View event during a virtual press conference Tuesday as they prepare to square off Saturday, Dezembro 5 from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

For more information on AT&T Stadium’s Safe Stadium Policy, please visit the site here: https://attstadium.com/safestadium/.

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

ERROL SPENCE JR.

I feel blessed and ready to go. I feel like I’m 100% fisicamente. 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’ em dezembro 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, e no final do dia, 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.

DANNY 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.

“Em dezembro 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.

Derrick James, Formador de Spence

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 & Treinador

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.

“Desta vez, we’re not going to leave it in the judges’ mãos. We chose to go fight him in Dallas. Danny made that call. No final do dia, Danny just has to go in there and do his thing.

TOM BROWN, Presidente da TGB Promoções

“Errol Spence Jr. vs. 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 libras, 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 (Novembro 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 KOs). 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 Feet First Foundation 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, Brownsville, 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 Premier Boxe dos Campeões bandeira. “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.
