25TH BOUT ADDED TO NEF 42 CARTÃO DE LUTA; CATERINO STEPS IN TO FACE BOUCHER

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Janeiro 27, 2020) – Lutas da Nova Inglaterra (NEF) realizará suas próximas artes marciais mistas (MMA) evento, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020, at Merrill Auditorium in Portland. Last Friday, NEF announced the full fight card for the event with 24 bouts scheduled to take place. Earlier today, the fight promotion confirmed a 25th fight for the card.Boucher “mochila” Nate(0-0) vai se reunirChris Caterino (3-3) at a catchweight of 140 libras.

Boucher was originally scheduled to face Norman Fox (0-1) in his pro debut. Fox, after initially calling out Boucher on social media to accept a fight with him in the professional ranks, pulled out of the contest in the days leading up to the fight card announcement. Boucher, who most recently held the NEF Amateur Flyweight Championship with an amateur record of 6-3, was determined to make his pro debut at “NEF 42” despite the Fox pullout. NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson was able to quickly confirm a replacement opponent in the form of Caterino.

“I was incredibly disappointed when Norman pulled out against me—especially considering all the smack he talked to get the fight in the first place—but what a relief that I’ll still be able to be part of such a groundbreaking, historic NEF card,” said Boucher. “I’m so grateful that I get to make my pro debut in such a beautiful venue as the Merrill Auditorium. Respect to Chris for stepping up on short notice to take this bout. I will be doubling down in my preparation efforts during the next two weeks to make a statement on February 8th and leave no doubts that I belong in the pro ranks with the best in the region.”

Chris Caterino is a longtime veteran of the New England MMA scene, having made his amateur debut in 2010. Although he is taking the fight on short notice, Caterino has been very active of late and will, sem dúvida, be prepared for Boucher. One week ago, Caterino submitted Joey Sanchez (0-4) in the first round of a bout in New Hampshire. It was his third fight in a nine-month stretch. Caterino represents Gate City MMA of Nashua, New Hampshire where he trains with New England MMA legend Nuri Shakir (18-21).

“I’m excited to make my NEF debut,” said Caterino. “I look forward to a great night and plan on getting the ‘W.’”

Lutas da Nova Inglaterra’ próximo evento de artes marciais mistas, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” acontecerá no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020, no Merrill Auditorium em Portland, Maine. Os ingressos já estão à venda emwww.PortTix.com.

HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHTS AND HARDCORE MUSIC ALL IN A WEEKEND’S WORK FOR BRAD LEE

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Janeiro 22, 2020)

Sexta-feira, Fevereiro 7 e sabado, Fevereiro 8 promise to be a heavyweight weekend in Portland, Maine for Brad Lee.

On the opening night, Lee will put his lungs to the test as lead vocalist for a hardcore band known as Instigate, which will hold a CD release party in conjunction with its performance at Geno’s Rock Club.

Then he’ll exchange the microphone for a pair of gloves and attempt to play a two-fisted tune on Ras Hylton in the New England Fights mixed martial arts cage.

Lee will make his MMA debut against the veteran Ras “Rasquatch” “The Jamaican Shamrock” Hylton (4-3) in a professional bout at NEF 42: “Symphony of Destruction” inside another renowned concert venue, Merrill Auditorium.

“I absolutely want to make a living out of it,” Lee said of his immediate jump to the pro ranks after a diverse combat sports upbringing. “I feel that I’m fairly marketable. I think I can make a bit of a splash in this corner of the world. I would say I have humble confidence.”

He’s more understated about the musical exploits. Lee characterizes that side of his performance artistry as the typical garage band with small dreams.

“It’s been a huge part of my life. If you’re a big kid with a skateboard, it’s probably going to lead to music and fighting eventually,"Lee disse.

“But it’s definitely not about the money,” he added. “It’s literally a band of friends doing it to hang out with our other friends on the weekend. We couldn’t (care less) about stadiums. We’re not Metallica. It’s just a hobby. It’s an outlet for me to get out the (stuff) that’s in my head. It’s just a hobby.”

In the same way that new fighters are required to earn their way upward on fight posters, Sotavento, who said he “dabbles” with guitar, sounds most excited about the New England-based bands with whom Instigate gets to share the stage.

“Death Before Dishonor and Cruel Hand, if you know anything about that scene, those are big names,"Lee disse. “It would have been a great show regardless of whether we were there or not.”

Turning pro in the NEF hexagon without any amateur background isn’t the typical journey, but Lee saw it as the wisest path after a frustrating year of trying to locate willing opponents.

Most potential foes, ele disse, were intimidated by his 6-foot-4 frame and what was then a walking-around weight of more than 300 libras. The heavyweight limit is 265.

“I had five different opponents with three different promotions, including NEF, cancel on me. I had fights where the opponent took the fight with me, backed out, and then took a heavyweight fight on the same card,"Lee disse. “I don’t want to mention names, but one guy in Ras’ circle (did that). I just got fed up and annoyed with guys holding back my career.”

Lee said he eventually contacted NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson to inquire about the pro landscape within his promotion.

Hylton, who casts a similarly imposing shadow at 6-6, is coming off a sequence of two losses in his past three appearances, including a knockout loss to Chris Sarro – another fighter making his pro debut – last September.

“Matt put Ras out there. I watched the videos and talked to my coaches and went ahead with it,"Lee disse. “He’s coming off two hard fights. He seems like a respectful guy. I’m sure some people in his camp think I’m a (jerk). The thing about me in the social media world is I only release what I want people to see. People can talk (porcaria) all they want.”

In one of his videos, which Lee entitled, “What Makes a Pro a Pro?,” he breaks down what he considers the misconception that an amateur career is a necessity for MMA success.

“Look at Jon Jones. Agora, I’m not saying I’m Jon Jones, but he became a world champion without any (artes marciais) belts at all,"Lee disse. “So what is it? Is it that he can knock guys out? I’ve knocked out a bunch of guys in my life. Is it his cardio? My cardio is pretty good.

“You know, I just got tired of waiting around for other people. When I was getting ready to fight about a year ago, I realize I was right at the top of the weight class, but it’s like people were scared. Quero dizer, if you don’t want to be a heavyweight then get down to 205 or whatever. I’m a lot lighter and in better shape now. People probably would have been better off fighting me last year.”

Boxing and judo are the primary skills in Lee’s tool kit, although he describes himself as a voracious cross-trainer.

“I think the MMA world sleeps on boxing quite a bit,"Lee disse. “Muay Thai seems to be the thing, but the Muay Thai guys get their faces hit a lot. But I train anything and everything. I’ll do Tai chi in a park with somebody if it helps me get better, I don’t care.”

Sotavento, 29, is based out of Paladin Combat Sports in Clinton, Massachusetts, where he said he will stack up his schedule and intensity level against almost anyone his size in the combat sports game.

“Win or lose, I’ll be back in the gym on Monday. Compared to what I’ve seen from most UFC and Bellator heavyweights, I work out harder than most of them,"Lee disse. “I was 316 pounds less than a year ago. If anyone wants to check me on my motivation or dedication, tell them to check the scale (at weigh-ins) on February 7.”

Depois disso, fans are invited to follow Lee down the street to Geno’s and listen to him pursue his other passion the night before he makes his debut in the NEF cage.

Lutas da Nova Inglaterra’ próximo evento de artes marciais mistas, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” acontecerá no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020, no Merrill Auditorium em Portland, Maine. Os ingressos já estão à venda emwww.PortTix.com.

RISING LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECT THOMAS MATTICE TO FACE ISAAC CRUZ GONZALEZ IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: A NOVA GERAÇÃO SEXTA-FEIRA, Fevereiro 14 VIVER EM SHOWTIME®

Deixe um comentário
Four-Fight Card Also Features Undefeated Prospects Raeese Aleem, Montana Love And Derrick Colemon Jr. In Toughest Tests Of Their Careers



NOVA YORK - Janeiro 22, 2020 – Rising lightweight prospect Thomas Mattice will face hard-hitting Isaac Cruz Gonzalez in the 10-round main event of ShoBox: A Nova Geração na sexta-feira, Fevereiro 14 live on SHOWTIME from 2300 Arena em Filadélfia.



The four-fight telecast is the third of four ShoBox presentations over six weeks showcasing some of boxing’s brightest young prospects in their toughest tests to date, including super lightweight prospect Shohjahon Ergashev and super middleweight Vladimir Shishkin, who were victorious on January 17. Em janeiro 31, featherweight Ruben Villa and welterweight Taras Shelestyuk will be tested and on February 28, super lightweight Malik Hawkins and welterweight Richardson Hitchins face tough opposition.



In the co-featured bout on February 14, undefeated super bantamweight Raeese Aleem (15-0, 9 KOs), de Las Vegas, vai assumirShoBox veteran and San Antonio native Adam Lopez (19-3-2, 9 KOs) in an eight-round 122-pound bout. In a matchup of undefeated junior welterweights, Cleveland’s Montana Love (12-0-1, 6 KOs) retorna ao ShoBox in an eight-round showdown with New Orleans’ Jerrico Walton (16-0, 7 KOs). Na luta de a cerimônia de abertura, undefeated junior middleweights Derrick Colemon Jr. (11-0, 8 KOs), de Detroit, and Joseph Jackson (15-0, 12 KOs), da Carolina do Norte, will square off in an eight-round 154-pound bout.



Os ingressos para o evento, which is promoted by GH3 Promotions and King’s Promotions are $100, $75 e $50 e ser comprado emwww.2300arena.com



Cleveland’s Mattice (15-1-1, 11 KOs) is coming off his most significant win to date, an eight-round TKO of previously undefeated Michael Dutchover last September on ShoBox. The fight was stopped due to a deep gash on Dutchover caused by a clean right hand from Mattice. The judges’ scorecards were split at the time of the stoppage. Mattice will be making his sixth start on the prospect developmental series, including a close loss to Will Madera in 2019, a split decision win and a split draw with Zhora Hamazaryan in 2018, and a knockout of Rolando Chinea. The 29-year-old hopes a convincing win over the top-10 ranked Gonzalez will move him closer to a world title shot.



“A win would be huge for my career and put me in a great position,” Mattice said. “It would put me in the conversation with the top dogs of the division. I have to put on a great performance and let all those top fighters know that I’m here and ready to fight anyone. It’s a must-win for me, but it’s a big fight for both of us. He is ranked No. 7 by the IBF so this has the feel of a big fight. I think a win would put me in the top-10.”



Gonzalez (18-1-1, 14 KOs), da Cidade do México, has scored knockouts in 11 de sua última 14 fights since suffering only loss of his career in just his sixth professional fight. The 22-year-old owns a career-best knockout of former interim world title challenger Jose Felix Jr. em 2018. Atualmente classificado como não. 7 pelo IBF em 135 libras, Gonzalez made his U.S. debut in December on the non-televised undercard of the Jermall Charlo vs. Dennis Hogan event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn last December.



“I am excited to be fighting in the United States and I am thrilled for my fight to be shown on SHOWTIME,” said Gonzalea. “So many fighters started their career on ShoBox and have become World Champions.”



Aleem compiled a 65-10 record as an amateur and was a five-time Golden Gloves State Champion in Michigan. He finished third at the National Golden Gloves in 2010 e 2011 antes de virar profissional em 2011. The 29-year-old recently relocated his training camp to Las Vegas, where he has sparred with Jessie Magdaleno, Nonito Donaire and Jhack Tepora. Aleem, who is trained by Terry Markowski, will face the toughest test of his career in the veteran Lopez.



“All my hard work is paying off and now I get to show it on the big stage,” Aleem said. “I am looking forward to earning new fans and staying on a roll. I know Lopez is a really tough fighter with something to prove. He’s been here before so I know he’s ready for the challenge. This is a steppingstone to ultimately get where I want to be, and that’s fighting for a world title, bigger paydays and more exposure. Em última análise, I don’t just want to win, I want to dominate. Winning isn’t good enough – I also have to look good while doing it.”



Lopez was an accomplished amateur who won six national titles and held a No. 1 posição, but he has had an up and down career as a pro. The 29-year-old started his career with 15 straight victories yet he has suffered a few setbacks as his level of opposition has dramatically increased. Lopez was undefeated and one win away from challenging for a world championship before losing to current unified 122-pound champion Daniel Roman in a title eliminator in 2017 no canal Showtime. Lopez, who will break his own record ofShoBox appearances when he steps into the ring for the eighth time, will face his sixth undefeated opponent on the series as he looks to get his career back on track.



“Aleem is a pretty good fighter, but I think my experience is going to be a factor,” Lopez said. “He hasn’t fought top-tier guys with the exception of Marcus Bates. I have been in the big fights and this is his first time doing this. I am on a three-fight winning streak and I have rededicated myself to the sport. Eu tenho um novo treinador, Chato Martinez, and a whole new camp. I can’t wait to show that I am back.”



The flashy Love was an accomplished amateur who compiled a 174-13 registro. The 25-year-old southpaw will return for his third test on ShoBox as he seeks a convincing victory. In his first bout on the series, he won a majority decision over Samuel Teah in 2018 and followed that up with a split draw a few months later against Kenneth Sims Jr. Amar, who has sparred with Adrien Broner and Robert Easter Jr., will face what should be his most dangerous opponent in the fellow-undefeated Walton.



“Walton is a decent fighter, but I feel he is still green and he doesn’t have that much experience,” Love said. “I know he is tough, but I am taking this to the next level. He’s just a stepping stone. It’s exciting to fight under the bright lights. Some guys fold, but I was made for this. I am not looking past him, but this will take my career to the next level. We are both undefeated and not many guys take risks like this, but this shows I am a true fighter. My name is Montana “Too Pretty Love” and I am fighting on Valentine’s Day, so I will be giving a lot of love out on February 14.”



The 29-year-old Walton was born and raised in New Orleans, where he rescued his mother and sister from the flood waters of Hurricane Katrina when he was just 13 anos. Left homeless, the family relocated to Houston, where Walton competed as an amateur. Walton turned professional in 2014 and has been perfect through his first 16 lutas, including a career-best win over former super bantamweight world champion Victor Terrazas in 2019. The boxer-puncher, who is trained by Bobby Benton and fought six times last year, will face the first undefeated opponent of his career in Love.



“I have seen Montana fight before. I know he is flashy in the Adrien Broner mode, but other than that I do not know too much about him,” Walton said. “This opportunity is a blessing. The world is going to get to see me and hear my story. I’m from New Orleans and it was a struggle for me growing up, so this is a great opportunity. I never in a million years thought that I would be in this position. I just need to seize the moment and get the victory.”



Só 20 anos, Colemon started boxing at the age of 4 and honed his craft at the original Kronk Gym under Emanuel Steward until his passing in 2012. Colemon had a 135-fight amateur career and was a four-time national amateur champion in the junior division. He turned professional when he was 18 years old and has eight knockouts in his first 11 lutas profissionais. Colemon, who is trained by Marlon Thomas, will face by far the toughest test of his career in Jackson, a fellow undefeated yet untested prospect.



“I am physically and mentally prepared more than I ever have been,” Colemon said. “I know Jackson is undefeated and tough, so I know I’m in for a big test. This is the next step in my career, and I feel that I will be not only the next great champion that has fought onShoBox, but the next great fighter out of Detroit. I am ready to show the world my talents. Fevereiro 14 will put my name in the minds of boxing fans all over the world.”



The 31-year-old Jackson got a late start as a professional yet has been active, including three fights in 2019 and three in 2018. Ele tem 12 KOs em 15 lutas, including knockouts in seven of his last eight bouts. The Greensboro native will fight outside of North Carolina for the first time in his career when he takes on the undefeated Colemon.



“I know Colemon is tough, and he had a long amateur career,” Jackson said. “He will come to fight, but I prepare for anything. That is what this sport is all about. I am looking forward to showcasing my talent to the world.”



Barry Tompkins vai chamar a ação do ringue com historiador do boxe Steve Farhood e ex-campeão mundial Raul Marquez servindo como analistas especializados. O produtor executivo é Gordon Hall com Richard Gaughan produção e direção de Rick Phillips.

HOWARD AND KANGAS SCHEDULED FOR LIGHTWEIGHT TUSSLE AT NEF 42

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Janeiro 20, 2020) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) realizará suas próximas artes marciais mistas (MMA) evento, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020, no Merrill Auditorium em Portland. Hoje mais cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur lightweight bout to the fight card.Joe Howard(2-3) vai se reunirJustin Kangas(0-2) com um peso de luta de 155 libras.

Joe Howard is coming off a win over Jesse Fitzsimmons (0-2) at “NEF 41” last November. The fight was stopped by the referee on advice from the ringside physician between the first and second rounds when a cut on Fitzsimmons’ forehead could not be closed. It marked the end of a three-fight losing streak for Howard. Howard currently represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu based in Lewiston, Maine, and has recently moved back to his home state of Georgia.

“I’m not in this for fortune and fame—this is business and I want that gold and I’ll keep mining the NEF until I get it,” exclaimed Howard. “Thank you to Justin for taking this fight. I applaud Justin—I’ve been on a two-fight losing streak and I know what that feels like, so I know that he’s going to be a real challenge. But I’m the principal of this cage, and I’m about to school his ass with Southern class. Pack your lunch pail—New England is about to learn who the peach is.”

As Howard alluded to, Justin Kangas is by day the principal of Warren Community School in Warren, Maine. Kangas has competed twice previously in the NEF cage, losing to Nate White (4-0) and Nathaniel Grimard (1-0) respectively. He seeks his first win as an amateur at “NEF 42.” Kangas represents First Class MMA of Brunswick, Maine.

“I am excited to have another opportunity to fight for NEF and am grateful to Joe for taking the fight,” said Kangas.  “Joe is a warrior and it will undoubtedly be a tough bout for sure. I look forward to the challenge and opportunity in front of me.”

GRISPI OUT, BERMUDEZ IN TO FACE BOYINGTON FOR LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE AT NEF 42

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Janeiro 19, 2020) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) realizará suas próximas artes marciais mistas (MMA) evento, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020, no Merrill Auditorium em Portland. Hoje mais cedo, NEF announced a change to one-half of the card’s main event.Manny “The Bermudez Triangle” Bermudez(14-2) agora vai enfrentarBruce Boyington "Pretty Boy"(17-11) for the vacant NEF Professional Lightweight Championship in the night’s headline fight.

Bermudez stepped in to replace his teammate and training partner Josh Grispi (14-5) who was originally scheduled to meet Boyington. Grispi was forced to bow out of the main event due to legal complications unforeseen at the time of the bout’s signing. Mere hours after losing Grispi, NEF executives were notified that Bermudez would accept the fight with Boyington.

Like Grispi, Bermudez is a veteran of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) – the pinnacle of the sport. He put together a record of 3-2 while competing in the promotion before being released this past October. All three of Bermudez’s wins in the UFC came by way of submission. The fight with Boyington will be Bermudez’s first since his release.

“I’m looking forward to coming up to Bruce’s home turf and showing where it is I belong on the regional circuit,” stated Bermudez.  “I have experience at various levels in the sport and Bruce does too, so it’ll be interesting to see how the matchup unfolds on fight night.”

Bruce Boyington has never been one to back down from a challenge. The Taekwondo black belt and US Marine Corp veteran has made a career of fighting the “best of the best” whether it be in the NEF cage, at Madison Square Garden fighting for the World Series of Fighting (WSOF) on national television, or halfway across the world competing on a global event in Russia. Boyington, a member of Titan Athletics based in Brewer, Maine, looks to capture the lightweight strap for the second time on February 8.

“There is no easy fight and this makes for the same scenario – a main event worthy of any card,” said Boyington.  “Two high caliber fighters – that’s the kind of fight I like to be in.”

Adding to the high-caliber aspect of the fight, two streaks held by Boyington and Bermudez respectively make the fight even that much more intriguing. Boyington has never lost a title fight. He is a perfect 7-0 when a championship strap is on the line. In the same breadth, Bermudez has never lost a regional fight as a professional. He was a perfect 11-0 on the regional scene prior to signing with the UFC. On February 8, someone’s “0” will have to go.

“I first met Manny Bermudez 11-years ago one random weekend while visiting his home gym, South Short Sportfighting,” noted NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson.  “He was a young, gangling teenager at the time that was giving fits on the floor to men two and three times his age. Manny made the gym his second home and the rest, como eles dizem, is history—Manny went on to have a great run in the UFC. When Josh Grispi was forced to pull out of his fight with Bruce, Bruce gave me one directive for a replacement opponent—‘make sure they are good,’ he said. Bruce always wants to face the best and that’s what we were able to bring him in Bermudez. This is a main event fit for a symphony.”

PHILADELPHIA (Janeiro 19, 2020) – Jeison Rosario conquistou os títulos mundiais Super Welterweight da WBA e IBF com uma paralisação chocante da quinta rodada do favorito da cidade Juliano “J-Rock” Williams Sábado à noite no evento principal da FOX PBC Fight Night e na FOX Deportes do Liacouras Center da Temple University na Filadélfia.

“Assim que entrei no ringue, Eu sabia que ele não poderia me machucar,” disse Rosario. “Eu sabia que meu poder o estava afetando imediatamente. Esta é uma grande vitória para mim e para toda a República Dominicana.”

“Rosario foi o melhor homem esta noite,” disse Williams. “Foi uma ótima volta para casa para meus fãs e eu sinto muito por tê-los decepcionado. O que deu errado esta noite precisa e será consertado. Vamos para uma revanche imediata e esperamos retribuir o favor.”

Em sua primeira luta pelo título mundial, o Rosário da República Dominicana acertou socos poderosos desde o início e abriu um corte com um soco sobre Williams’ olho direito na segunda rodada. Williams estava dando seus próprios socos poderosos, mas não foi capaz de impedir Rosário de avançar.

Assista aos destaques da segunda rodada em que Rosário abre o corte sobre Williams’ olho para cá.

“Estou tão emocionado neste momento agora,” disse Rosario. “Quando perdi minha última luta, disse que nunca vou perder de novo até me tornar campeão do mundo e foi o que aconteceu esta noite. Eu vim preparado. Eu sabia antes da luta que iria vencê-la.”

No quinto round Rosário acertou os socos que acabariam levando ao fim da luta, acertá-lo com as mãos direitas e duras que imediatamente desaceleraram Williams.


“Eu tenho que dar muito crédito à minha equipe,” disse Rosario. “Tive um acampamento de treinamento de 16 semanas e isso me preparou para este. Minha vida mudou para sempre e posso sustentar minha família de uma maneira totalmente nova. Eu percebi que iria vencer, uma vez que me ofereceram a luta. Eu sabia que se eu fizesse o sacrifício, que eu faria o que fiz esta noite. Eu sabia 16 semanas atrás.”

Rosario sentiu seu momento e avançou com grandes socos, enquanto Williams tentava segurar e sobreviver. Eventualmente, o ataque provou ser demais, e o árbitro Benjy Esteves interrompeu a luta 1:37 na rodada. No momento da interrupção, Rosario liderou 39-37 em duas cartas, com a terceira carta marcada 38-38.

“Não fiquei surpreso por ele ser tão bom,” disse Williams. “Eu disse a todos que ele é um verdadeiro lutador. Eu tenho que aceitar isso. O corte turvou minha visão um pouco, mas não foi a razão pela qual perdi. Ele foi o melhor lutador esta noite. Temos uma cláusula de revanche. Eu vou vê-lo novamente em breve. Eu voltarei.”

Veja Rosario finalizar Williams na rodada 5 para cá.

O co-evento principal viu uma estrela em ascensão Chris “Prime Time” Colbert (14-0, 5 KOs) largar o ex-campeão Jezreel Corrales (23-4, 9 KOs) on his way to a unanimous decision victory that earned him the Interim WBA Super Featherweight Title.

“Ele é um grande lutador,” said Colbert. “People don’t realize that, because he had a bad decision against Ladarius Miller. But he’s a great fighter. He’s very awkward. He’s slick and fast. It was hard to catch him because he was running, but he came to fight. I take my hat off to him.”

The action began tactically, with Colbert trying to figure out the awkward style of the veteran former champion Corrales. Colbert switched from orthodox to southpaw and was able to control the early action despite a slow pace.

“I did my job in there,” said Corrales. “My strategy was to hit and not get hit. I felt like I made him struggle for a lot of the fight. The knockdown wasn’t from being hurt, era o meu equilíbrio. Nossos pés se enrolaram e eu perdi o equilíbrio. Eu vim aqui para ganhar. Nós dois fizemos nosso trabalho, mas os juízes acertaram seu empurrão mais do que seus socos.”

Colbert continuou a variar seu ataque conforme a luta continuava, enquanto Corrales foi capaz de ter algum sucesso nas rodadas intermediárias pousando nas esquerdas retas para contra-atacar seu oponente. Em volta 10 Colbert começou a se afastar, acertando um gancho de esquerda limpo seguido por um gancho de direita no topo da cabeça que colocou Corrales em um joelho.

“Eu tive confiança entrando na luta,” said Colbert. “Eu sabia que iria dominar a luta e contei a vocês tudo isso antes da luta acontecer. Ele estava correndo e eu estava tentando alcançá-lo, então eu disse ao meu canto, vamos ter uma luta de cães. Obtemos 12 rounds. Estou em forma. Entende, Eu não sentei uma rodada. Estou em forma e vim para lutar. Eu não iria embora sem este título.

O jovem de 23 anos, do Brooklyn, pareceu ficar mais forte conforme a luta prosseguia e terminava as rodadas do campeonato de maneira impressionante, cambaleando Corrales nos momentos finais da luta para pontuar a performance. Colbert foi o vencedor em todos os três juízes’ cartões, por dezenas de 117-110 duas vezes e 116-111.

“A estratégia era usar meu jab como eu fiz e tentar acertar meus socos,” said Colbert. “Mas ele é muito estranho e tem uma boa distância. Lentamente, mas decidi parar de boxe, feche a distância e suba nele. Eu sabia que ele não poderia me jogar fora, Eu sou do Brooklyn.”

Veja os destaques de Colbert vs. Corrales para cá e para cá. Veja o 10th knockdown redondo para cá e 11th ação redonda para cá.

Na abertura da FOX PBC Fight Night, perspectiva super-meio-médio superior Joey Spencer(10-0, 7 KOs)permaneceu invicto com uma decisão unânime sobre Erik Primavera (13-4-2, 1 KO) after six rounds of action.

Fighting from the southpaw stance, Spring looked to land big overhand lefts but was rarely able to catch up to the speedy 19-year-old Spencer. Spencer dominated the action with his speed and by landing big hooks throughout the action.

“I was in there with a cagey, long southpaw,” said Spencer. “Para ser honesto, when a guy is fighting as cagey as he was, it’s really hard for a guy with my style to just pull something out of nothing. He was a real defensive guy.”

Spencer was especially effective sneaking a powerful left hook around Spring’s guard. Spring tried to press the action in the later rounds and force a firefight but Spencer remained patient and picked his spots. Late in round six, a left hook from Spencer sent Spring flying into the ropes, before he was saved from the follow up onslaught by the bell.

“At the end I really just pressed him, said I’m going to finish strong, and hit him with some good shots,” said Spencer. “If I had done that in the first or second round, I would have ended it early. I’m glad to get the six rounds in. Experience is everything. You’re only as good as your next fight. I’m happy to get in there and get some good experience and I did my thing and got the shutout.”

“I was waiting too much,” said Spring. “I thought he would come in and engage more and I was looking counter him but he stayed on the outside. I was more impressed by his speed then his power. He’s a talented fighter but I could have been more effective.”

After six rounds, all three judges saw the fight for Spencer, by the score of 60-54 três vezes. PBC’s 2019 Prospect of the Year, Spencer will look for another big year in 2020.

“I’m going to stay busy this year,” said Spencer. “I’m going to have a four-fight year. This is one of four. We’re looking to bring some excitement and have some fun.”

Watch Joey Spencer seal his 10th career win with a powerful combo just before the final bell para cá.

Prior to the main card, FOX PBC Fight Night Prelims on FS1 and FOX Deportes saw Mexico’s Jorge Cota (30-4, 27 KOs) earn a fifth-round stoppage over Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna (28-3-1, 10 KOs) 1:22 into their super welterweight bout, when LaManna’s corner advised the ringside doctor to halt the action.

Watch highlights of Jorge Cota’s fifth round stoppage of Thomas LaManna para cá.

The action also included sensational 17-year-old prospect Vito Mielnicki Jr. (4-0, 3 KOs) dominar Preston Wilson (6-4-1, 4 KOs) on his way to a unanimous decision by the score of 40-36 three times in their welterweight matchup.The Prelims opener saw undefeated Romuel Cruz (4-0-1, 2 KOs) score a first round stoppage of Julio Garcia(3-4, 2 KOs) 2:56 into their super bantamweight contest.
