Ortiz is a great fighter,” Kwiaty’ promotor Keith Veltre (RJJ Boxing CEO/co-founder) dodane, “but I think he may regret fighting a hungry lion like Flores. Fighting the elite of the heavyweight division has never been a problem for Alexander, whose only two losses have been to world champions.

Boks dla 26-letniej Samargis, który mieszka w Twin Falls, to prawdziwa sprawa rodzinna. Jest szkolona przez męża, Jason, i ich dwóch synów, Skyler Bellus (11) i Riley Marovich (8), są w USA Boks. Skyler, w rzeczywistości, brał udział w kilku turniejach, w których walczyła również jego matka.

“W boks wszedłem jako forma utraty wagi,” Kendra wyjaśniła. “Mój mąż był trenerem boksu przez wiele lat i nadal miał cały swój sprzęt. Ustawiliśmy go w naszym garażu i rozpoczęliśmy szkolenie. Najpierw, zaczynanie było najgorszą rzeczą, jaką kiedykolwiek zrobiłem. Ilość wytrzymałości, wytrzymałość, a siła, którą potrzebowałem, była nierealna. Powoli z biegiem czasu straciłem ogromną wagę, 73-funtów, aby być dokładnym, i pokochałem ten sport.

“Zawsze jestem pytany, jak to jest być szkolonym przez mojego męża. Zawsze mówię, że mam tajną broń, kogoś, kto jest w moim kącie i chce, żebym odniósł sukces tak samo jak ja i wspiera mnie przez cały czas. Również, w czasach, gdy jesteśmy na turniejach, Nigdy nie jestem sam w noc przed wielką walką i jeśli potrzebuję przemówienia motywującego, on jest tutaj. Teraz, moi synowie konkurują ze mną, dobrze, to inna historia. Bycie na zewnątrz ringu, podczas gdy moi chłopcy rywalizują, jest o wiele trudniejsze niż jakakolwiek walka, jaką kiedykolwiek stoczyłem. Moja mama zdecydowanie się włącza. Na koniec dnia, chociaż, Wiem, jak dobrze są wyszkoleni, i muszę temu ufać. Nie pracuję nad ich rogami, ponieważ jest za blisko. Za każdym razem rzucałem ręcznik. Muszę być na trybunach.”

Tak, w czasach, gdy musieliśmy zamknąć drzwi, mój mąż, dzieci i ja byliśmy w stanie nadążyć za naszym schematem treningowym. W tym czasie wiele się nauczyłem. W rzeczywistości byliśmy w stanie spowolnić i popracować nad wieloma rzeczami, które zostały przeoczone. Mamy też wielkie szczęście, że mieszkamy w małym miasteczku, Musieliśmy zamknąć naszą siłownię tylko przez dwa miesiące i od tego czasu działamy. Mogłem sobie tylko wyobrazić, jak trudne musiało być dla tak wielu ludzi w tych czasach. Byliśmy bardzo szczęśliwi, że mogliśmy przejść przez siłownię.”

Obecnie w rankingu nr. 10 w 152 funtów i nie. 5 w 165, Do tej pory najważniejsze osiągnięcia Kendry to zdobycie złotych medali na 2019 Eastern Elite Qualifier i 2018 Krajowe Złote Rękawice turnieju.

Agresywny bokser, który rzuca pięściami pięściami, Samargis uważa, że ​​w ostatnich latach znacznie się poprawiła. Wprawdzie zmieniła wiele różnych części swojej gry, skupiając się bardziej na ruchu, umiejscowienie stóp i głowy.

Ostatecznie, Chce zdobyć najwyższe nagrody na wielu turniejach krajowych, począwszy od tegorocznych Mistrzostw Krajowych, i ostatecznie zostań profesjonalistą, aby strzelać do tytułu mistrza świata. Na razie, chociaż, ona jest najlepsza dla Nationals.

“Jestem największą konkurencją na tegorocznych Mistrzostwach Kraju,” zakończyła. “Każdego dnia chcę być najlepszą wersją siebie i każdego dnia budzę się z nawiedzoną możliwością powrotu do osoby, którą kiedyś byłem. Codziennie muszę iść na wojnę ze sobą, żeby trzymać tę osobę na dystans. Wszystkie godziny treningu, pomaga mi w tym odżywianie i przygotowanie psychiczne. Każdego dnia mogę nadal być najlepszą wersją siebie, skupiając się tylko na stawaniu się lepszym, wtedy to, z kim będę konkurować, nie będzie miało znaczenia.

“Jestem gotowy i podekscytowany na tegoroczne Mistrzostwa Polski. Ponieważ świat się zatrzymuje, będzie to mój pierwszy turniej w tym roku. Jestem gotowy, aby wrócić na ring. Medaling da mi kolejny tytuł narodowy na koncie i wyostrzy moje CV, gdy zostanę zawodowcem.”

SIERGIEJ LIPINETS: “WE NEVER MISSED A BEAT IN PREPARATION, EVEN WITH OPPONENT CHANGE”

Former World Champion Lipinets Battles Unbeaten
Custio Clayton for Interim IBF Welterweight Title
Żyją na SHOWTIME® Sobota, Październik 24 Headlining a
Premier Boxing Champions Event

NEW YORK (Październik 20, 2020) – Even with a change in date and then opponent, Były mistrz świata Sergey Lipinets remains supremely confident in his training camp and overall preparations as he prepares to take on unbeaten Custio Clayton for the Interim IBF Welterweight Title live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Październik 24 (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) jako główna gwiazda wydarzenia Premier Boxing Champions.

“We never missed a beat in preparation, even with the opponent change,” said Lipinets. “My fight with Kudratillo Abdukakhorov was on and off for so long that I already had an idea that he was going to be forced to back out, so I wasn’t shocked. I don’t really care, chociaż. Whoever I have to fight I’m ready to fight, so I didn’t consider backing out of fighting for even one second.”

Lipinets credits his trainer, the renowned Joe Goossen, for helping his fighter mentally through the changes, in addition to the physical training they have undertook heading into the fight.

“Having Joe Goossen is like having a psychiatrist as well as a trainer,” said Lipinets. “He’s been extremely helpful about how to approach all of this. Joe helped me stay calm and understand that something good can always come from a bad or difficult situation, and because of that, I never lost focus.”

Clayton is a Canadian Olympian with an unblemished pro resume heading into this showdown. While Lipinets notes that there are differences in the fighting styles between Abdukakhorov and Clayton, none of it changes his intent on October 24.

“I know that Clayton has a great amateur background,” said Lipinets. “I’ve checked out his style, and the main difference is that Abdukakhorov is more active and Clayton is more accurate. Abdukakhorov is also a little more aggressive and Clayton is more patient.

“I don’t think one is tougher or easier than the other. I think that anyone fighting at this level is a difficult opponent. Abdukakhorov moves around more and can be more awkward with the different styles he uses. Both are very tough guys, but I’m ready for Clayton and focused only on him at this point.”

Despite his sole focus on Clayton, Lipinets knows that this fight brings a big opportunity to make a loud proclamation to the rest of the stacked welterweight division with a big performance to capture the interim IBF title.

“I’m prepared to make one statement – I belong here,” said Lipinets. “I want to fight the best. I want to make my imprint on this sport and build my legacy. I’ve had to do it the hard way, but I’m not complaining. I fought for my first championship in just my 13th pro fight. I believe that I belong right there at the top of this sport. People need to start mentioning my name with the top guys and after this fight they’ll have to. You can’t look past me anymore.”

Even two of our ring-card girls brought their boyfriends to be ring-card boys. It was the first time in Brazil’s long MMA history that featured an all-female event. The first year I had joined SFT less than three months earlier and we weren’t able to get enough women fighters, so the main card was all-females.

“Earlier this year, prior to the pandemic, we were going to promote a card for International Women’s Day. We’re promotingSFT: 22 for Breast Cancer Awareness with a six-fight all-female card.”

The main event will pit undefeatedAndreia “Thai” Serafim (4-0-0, SFT: 2-0-0) przedPamela Mara Assis (4-2-1, SFT: 2-0-0) for the vacant SFT Strawweight Championship.

JUAN HERALDEZ TRAINING CAMP NOTES

"W październiku 31 everyone will see what I’m capable of," – Heraldez

Unbeaten Contender Juan Heraldez Faces Former World Champion Regis Prograis in SHOWTIME PPV® ActionSaturday, Październik 31 Live From the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas in an Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK – Październik 16, 2020 – Unbeaten super lightweight contender Juan Heraldez is deep into training camp and shared insights into his preparations as he nears a showdown against former champion Regis "Rougarou" Prograis w sobotę, Październik 31 live on SHOWTIME PPV in a Premier Boxing Champions event headlined by Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz live from Alamodome in San Antonio.

“It’s been a long eight-week camp preparing for Prograis,” said Heraldez. “We’re fighting a different style of fighter, which is a good thing because he’s the type of fighter who comes to fight. A style like this makes it easier for me to train and prepare.

“Prograis has power, but you have to land it and that’s where my defense comes into play. My defense has always been a factor and it’s something we always tweak and find ways for me to be sharper. On paper his credentials are up there, but in the ring all of that goes out the door. When the bell rings, I’m not thinking about him being a former world champion. I fight and get the job done.”

Heraldez has adapted to the changes produced by training during the pandemic, and has been able to keep focused throughout camp. He credits the infrastructure at the Mayweather Boxing Club, where he trains in Las Vegas, for helping keep things running smoothly as he prepares to face his toughest opponent to date.

“The pandemic has had a slight effect on camp like it has with everything else,” said Heraldez. “There are so many protocols and safety measures, so you can’t just rotate sparring partners as easily as you could before. Adjusting to wearing a mask in the gym and getting tested constantly are things you learn to get used to. The Mayweather Boxing Club has done a great job of keeping the gym clean and safe for all of us. A lot of my stablemates are here in Las Vegas preparing for big fights, so it’s a great feeling knowing that we can come to a gym where safety is the top priority.”

The unbeaten Heraldez will return to the ring after fighting former world champion Argenis Mendez to a draw in May 2019 Showtime. Heraldez had put together an impressive string of victories dating back to a 2017 triumph over then-unbeaten Jose Miguel Borrego, and included a knockout win over Eddie Ramirez in February 2019 leading into the Mendez fight. Heraldez has continued to fine-tune his arsenal heading into the Prograis fight.

“My team and I have been working on various things such as my jab, but most importantly where I am in the ring at all times,” said Heraldez. “My ring awareness has elevated this camp. My coach and I keep things old school, we don’t have a strength and conditioning coach, we work on the basics and get better at them each camp. Boxing is simple. Stick and move and don’t get hit. The training I get from Coach Otis Pimpleton covers so many things such as cardio, technika, ring IQ, itd., so my job is just to listen to my team and trust them when I’m in camp and in the ring on fight night.”

While Heraldez is looking to improve on the draw in his last fight, Prograis will be seeking to bounce back from his first career defeat, a memorable 140-pound unification clash with Josh Taylor. With both fighters hungry for a win on October 31, Heraldez expects an exciting night for fans.

“On fight night, both of our styles are going to make for great action,” said Heraldez. “We both bring a lot to the ring. We’re both fighting to be the best, but on October 31, everyone will see what I’m capable of.”

Additional bouts will be announced at a later date.

Pochodzący z Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazylia, two-time featherweight champ Patricio “Pitbull” will enter the Bellator cage for a promotional record 23rd time on Nov. 12. With impressive wins to his credit over Michael Chandler, Daniel Straus (x3), Daniel Weichel (x2) i Pat Curran, the 33-year old continues on in the Featherweight World Grand Prix not far removed from his lightweight championship victory in May of last year. Having earned a finish in 21 z jego 30 wygrywa jako profesjonalista, the simultaneous two-division champion most recently bested current bantamweight champion Juan Archuleta on the scorecards in an exciting opening round World Grand Prix matchup and fans can certainly expect more fireworks when he finally sets his sights on Carvalho.

Portuguese submission specialist Pedro Carvalho will be entering the Bellator cage for just the fifth time in his eight-year professional career, looking for his seventh consecutive victory and his first world title victory. With victories in nine of his last 11 konkursy, including against Derek Campos, Daniel Crawfordand a face crank-submission over Sam Sicilia in the opening round, the 25-year-old SBG Ireland-product is on the cusp of greatness – and winning the Bellator Featherweight World Grand Prix would be the perfect way to solidify it.

Z ponad 50 professional fights to his name, Germany’s Daniel Weichel is ready to make his 2020 debut in a highly anticipated World Grand Prix quarterfinal bout with Sanchez, a fighter Weichel got the better of four years ago at Bellator 159. Following his Bellator debut in 2014, “Drake” has enjoyed an impressive promotional mark of 9-3, including pivotal victories over Sanchez, Pat Curran, Georgi Karakhanyan i Saul Rogers.

On the heels of yet another masterful performance that ended in a submission victory over Tywan Claxton in the opening round of the World Grand Prix, “El Matador” is ready for another title run as he prepares for the 50-fight veteran and the man who beat him once before, Daniel Weichel. Since joining forces with Bellator in 2014, the Milwaukee, Wisc.-resident has collected 11 victories over a 14-fight stint, including key wins over the likes of Claxton, Daniel Straus, Marcos Galvao and Georgi Karakhanyan (2x).

Having needed just one round to put away his last opponent via submission in the quarterfinals of the World Grand Prix, Darrion Caldwell is on a mission to regain Bellator gold. “The Wolf,” a former North Carolina State University NCAA National Champion wrestler, has looked unstoppable since moving up to the featherweight division, having defeated Adam Borics, oraz Henry Corrales in the opening round of the tournament. Teraz, the former bantamweight champ sits only two victories away from holding a title in his second division – a feat very few athletes can claim.

Touted by ESPN as the best fighter in MMA under the age of 25, AJ McKee looks to back up the lofty expectations often held by the public for second generations-athletes. Undefeated in his career, “The Mercenary” has made himself known to the world through his flashy persona and trash talk, ale najważniejsze, his work inside the Bellator cage. With every one of his pro bouts taking place with Bellator, the Long Beach-native can achieve what he set out to do beginning at Bellator 146 w 2015 and become world champion with just two more wins.

Zapowiedziano również dla Bellator 252…is a third main card bout featuring the always-exciting Aaron Pico (6-3) of Jackson-Wink MMA Academy in Albuquerque, N.M., who returns for his second appearance inside Bellator’s “FightSphere, having previously defeated Solo Hatley Jr. in impressive fashion at Bellator 242.
