Bermudez’s victory capped a perfect night for the South Shore Sportfighting team of Rockland, Masačusets. Teammates Darryl Andrews (1-0) i Tim Birkenhead (2-0) were both successful in their respective fights to lift their gym to a 3-0 record on the event.

Erickson, koji predstavlja Brazilski Jiu-Jitsu u Central Maineu i Recon Fitness, otvorili briljantnu kliniku za džiu-džicu koja će se pamtiti godinama koje dolaze. Zarobljen protiv kaveza od strane Harveyja rano u prvoj rundi, Erickson je povukao gard i prošao kroz lanac podnošenja prije nego što se konačno smjestio sa šipkom za ruku da prisili tapout, dovodeći publiku u Portlandu u apsolutno ludilo.

Nakon nekoliko minuta međusobnog osjećanja, par se razmjenjivao u udarcima naprijed-nazad u završnim trenucima prve runde. Nešto više od minute u drugoj rundi, the referee called a halt to the action after several unanswered strikes from the 6’6” Hylton.
Hylton’s First Class MMA teammateJacob Deppmeyer(1-0) had a successful pro debut, porazivšiCarl Langston(0-5) via first-round technical knockout.

USA Boxing featherweight Andrea Medina closing in on 2020 Olympic spot in Tokyo
COLORADO SPRINGS, Krilo. (Februar 10, 2020) – Coming off consecutive runner-up finishes in major tournaments, USA Boxing featherweightAndrea Medina is within one tournament of representing her country in the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
U decembru, the 20-year-old Medina lost a split decision toLupe gutierrez na 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing, i 4-1 uIulia Tsyplakova (Ukrajina) last month at the Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria. The Chula Vista, California boxer was recently named to USA Boxing’s Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Boxing Qualification Team.
“Placing second at the trials only made me more eager to get that Olympic Qualification spot,” Medina said. “I just wanted to show USA Boxing that I was the one to represent at 57 kilograms. I am only going to get better and I cannot wait to show the world everything that I got.
“For it (Strandja) being my first ever international tournament, I was very proud of how far I got in the tournament and getting that silver medal. I was very happy with all my performances and I am excited to get back to work on things I need to improve on. Aside from all that, going to a different country was awesome and I can’t wait to travel more doing what I love the most.”
Medina and her Team USA stablemates are currently training in Colorado Springs at the state-of-the-art United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center. To qualify for participation in this year’s Olympic Games, Medina needs to finish among the top three in the 57-kilogram (125 lbs.) division at the America’s Qualification Tournament, March 26-April 3, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. One final opportunity at the World Qualifier in Paris, Francuska, in which she could qualify for the Olympics by placing among the top five.
“It means the world to me to be on the USA Boxing Olympic Qualification Team,” Medina added. “It is everything I have been working for since I started competing at eight years old and I cannot believe the Olympic Games are only in a few months. Making history in San Diego by being the first person to make the Olympic Team for boxing is a big deal for my family, my city and myself. I cannot express how excited I am to have come this far, but there is still so much to do, and I am ready.
“I feel that I work better under pressure and I truly believe that I will qualify for Tokyo, whether it be in Argentina or France, but my main goal, odmah, is to train hard to get that gold in Argentina.”
Medina believes her major strength inside the ring is her ability to adjust during a fight. She prefers fighting on the outside, but she can brawl if needed, because she enjoys throwing a lot of power punches.
Medina also realizes that she’s in a prime place regarding the rising popularity of female boxing, following in the USA Boxing footsteps of two-time Olympic gold medalistClaressa Shields and Olympic bronze medalistMarlen Esparza, along with past USA Olympians such asQueen Underwood iMikaela Mayer.
“Female boxing is only going to get bigger,” Medina predicted. “Being a female fighter today means a lot to me, because I have been doing this for 15 godina sada, and seeing it grow year after year only shows how strong females are and what we can accomplish. I predict that, in the future, boxing will not be seen as a man’s sport, but will be neutral for both men and women.”
Competing at the Olympics has been a life-long dream for Medina, but she also has plans for her immediate future.
“Reaching the Olympics has been my main goal throughout my boxing career,” Andrea remarked, “so now that it is so close makes me want to work even harder. Other goals of mine are to graduate from college and get my own condominium, which I will do after all this is over.
“I plan on turning pro after the Olympics, most likely at the beginning or middle of 2021, so I can finish school and give my body some rest and recovery.”
Andrea Medina is so close to being an Olympian and everything associated with that accomplishment that she can practically reach out and feel it. Just one more step, whether in Buenos Aires or Paris, and it’ll be mission accomplished for her.
