Together with 555 Médias, we will continue to build on the long history of star-studded boxing events in Hollywood.”

Voici ce que les combattants avaient à dire jeudi:

CALEB PLANT

“Expect fireworks. Me and my team have been grinding hard and once that bell rings, I’m gonna step on him.

“Armando thinks he can beat me, and that’s enough to piss me off. He knows what’s coming to him.

“I’m not gonna be distracted from the fight that’s in front of me. It’s happened so many times where fighters get so worried about the next fight, and they don’t win the fight in front of them. I’m not letting that happen. Armando is coming to take my spot, but I’m not gonna let that happen.

“The first thing on my mind is to put on a great performance on May 31. I want Charlo, Edgar Berlanga, Jaime Munguia, Diego Pacheco, and anyone else who’s up there. Then I’ll end up where I’m supposed to be. I’m gonna pick them off one by one.

“Some fighters lose and their confidence is shattered. Maybe their confidence was fake to begin with. A loss has never made me think I couldn’t do what I’m capable of. I take those experiences and learn to make adjustments, which a lot of fighters aren’t able to do.

“Experience isn’t something you can buy or borrow. You have to walk through the fire. I’ve been on the biggest stages in boxing. Each time you get those experiences, you take it over to the next fight.

“I’m too strong, I’m too fast and I’m too slick for Armando. I have a great team with me. We’re the A-Team. We’re coming to win and we’re going to win.

“I have the desire to win and the desire to be a champion. Even with the success I’ve had, that desire doesn’t dim at all.

“I feel strongly that you should have fun doing what you love to do. Boxing is the place where I can let go. Quand cette cloche sonne, that’s when I can be myself.”

ARMANDO RESENDIZ

"J'ai vraiment hâte de ce combat. I’m in excellent shape because I’m facing an elite fighter who’s accomplished a lot. My dream has always been to fight against the best and this is making my dream come true. We’re going to give the fans a great fight.

“I know that Caleb remembers me from those sparring sessions. I believe it was right before the Canelo fight. I know that I have the tools to overcome this challenge.

“I think Caleb has some selective memory about our sparring. They took me out of the gym for a reason. I’m gonna show him exactly how much I’ve grown on May 31.

“I don’t care about anyone else but my team and my family. I’m here making my dreams come true. I’m a Mexican fighter and people are gonna see what I’m capable of. It’s not because I think I can win, it’s because I know I can win.

“Training camp has been going great and I’ve had really good sparring sessions. I’m feeling really confident and I’m ready to get it on.

“Like the Mexican fighter that I am, I always put my best foot forward. I believe in what I can do. My career has had highs and lows, but I’ve realized that there’s no opponent that I will fear.

“The fights that I’ve had in the past will allow me to be even stronger this time around.”

Charlo JERMALL

“This is gonna be a fight. I gotta do what I always do. He’s gonna come at me and make it a fight. I expect the best out of him and I’ll be ready to make the adjustments.

“Thomas LaManna is standing in the way of my goals and my dreams. But I’m ready to stand in the paint with him.

“I’m ready to get back in the ring. Those two years actually helped me. They made me better. Not only have I not taken damage, but they’ve made me stronger.

“I’m back at 100%. I feel stronger and better. I’m fully back. My team is better and everything is falling into place perfectly. I got Houston back on my back. I can carry them now.

“There’s bigger fish to fry. I just hope Thomas can go back to his family happy after.”

THOMAS LAMANNA

“We’re gonna shock the world on May 31. That’s what we’re coming to do.

“I’m glad this fight is finally here. The timing is right and I’m excited and ready. We’ll both be in that ring and ready to rumble.

“He is who he is in this sport. He’s been off for a while, but he’s never lost. This is the biggest fight of my life and I’ve been training like it.

“I’ve gotten a lot more experience since I fought Erislandy Lara. The best lesson in life is experience. Every day you get better. I’ve gotten more comfortable with these last nine wins.

“Once the call came for this fight, I answered. I’m here to write my own legacy.”

3 Point Management signs 13-0 Russian Middleweight Petr “Le chirurgien” Khamukov

Laisser un commentaire

LOS ANGELES (Avril 24, 2025) -3 Gestion des points (3 PM) has announced the signing of undefeated Russian middleweight Petr “The Surgeon” Khamukov (13-0, 6 KOs), one of the most accomplished Russian amateur boxers, à un contrat exclusif de gestion.

Now residing in Woodland Hills (COMME), Khamukov is a promotional free agent who is trained by Danny Salazar. Khamukov avait 350 rencontres amateurs, represented his native country in the 2016 Olympics – the only Russian to qualify for the same Olympics in two weights classes (poids moyen et poids lourd léger) – and he captured gold medals at the 2015 Championnats d'Europe et 2016 Championnats nationaux russes.

Khamukov, 33, has had a difficult time securing significant fights, which is the primary reason he decided to sign with 3 PM. His last fight was last May, in which Petr stopped Esau Herrera de la Cruz (21-16-1) au troisième tour.

“I saw the situation at 3 PM,” Khamukov explained why he signed with 3 PM. “I want to be world champion; they want to add another world champion to its team. Their desire to help me is why I signed. I hope to come back, probably in May, and my goal is to be ranked in the top 10 by the end of this year. I want to be world champion and won’t stop until I succeed.”

A self-described old-school, classic boxer, Khamukov came to the United States to enhance his pro boxing career, saying Russia is not as focused on pro boxing as in the United States, noting that the amateur boxing program back home remains strong.

Khamukov joins the growing 3 Gestion des points (3 PM)  Écurie de boxeurs doués, y compris WBA & WBO Cruiserweight Champion / Ring Magazine Non. 1 Classé Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (47-1, 30 KOs), Ancien champion des poids lourds du monde du monde WBC / WBC Non. 4 Oleksandr "Nails" Gvozdyk (20-2, 16 KOs), Titre mondial de la mouche de la mouche challenger / wbo non. 1 Classé John «Scrappy» Ramirez (14-1, 9 KOs), WBA #4 Classé super poids moyen Darius «DFG» Fulgham (14-0, 12 KOs), L'ancienne championne des poids lourds intercontinentaux de la WBA Kareem «Supreme» Hackett (12-1, 6 KOs) et le poids welter junior allemand Simon «Saincy» Vollmer (7-0, 3 KOs).

Salazar realizes he’s training a future star, one who only needs a break in terms of having major fights against name opponents.

“His 350 amateur matches mean he has a lot of experience,” Salazar noted. “We just added a little American and Mexican styles. He can fight in any way. He’s such a technician, eager to learn, and never says no when we tell him to do something. He’s more than ready for 10-round fights, but nobody wants to fight him at 160. We can go down to junior middleweight for the proper fight, but he’s ready for anybody at 160. We just haven’t been able to get those fights and that’s why we’re with 3 PM. We’ll continue to work on the basics, but what he needs are fights. Nobody wants to fight Petr!"

“The Surgeon” is prepared to operate on the elite of the world middleweights.

Dans le co-main event de 10 rounds, one of the sport’s brightest rising Mexican stars will return to action as Jesus Ramos Jr. looks to continue his climb up the stacked 154-pound division when he battles the all-action contender Kevin Salgado in an explosive all-Mexican battle. After coming up on the wrong end of a contested decision against top contender Erickson Lubin in September 2023, Ramos (22-1, 18 KOs) has returned in style with back-to-back stoppages.

Fighting out of Phoenix, Arizona, García (16-1, 13 KOs) steps back into the ring after dropping a close split-decision last June against middleweight contender Kyrone Davis. Garcia had previously burst onto the scene as a teenager by earning three impressive victories in 2023. He kicked off that memorable campaign in March with a knockout of the previously unbeaten Amilcar Vida and followed that up with a pair of performances on the undercards of two of the biggest events of the year.

He first defeated Kevin Salgado on the Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia pay-per-view in April before knocking out Armando Resendiz on the Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo pay-per-view in September. The precocious García has moved fast since turning pro in 2020 and knocked out seven of his last nine opponents heading into the Davis fight.

“I’m not just ready for this fight, I’m ready to dominate,”A déclaré Garcia. “I’m excited to get back in the ring and unleash everything I’ve been working on in camp. The addition of Bob Santos and his knowledge and wisdom that he’s shared with our team is a game changer. His expertise and guidance are going to take us to new heights and propel us to the next level. We’re not just looking to win, we’re looking to make a statement.”

Un membre de la 2012 U.S.. équipe olympique, Gausha (24-4-1, 12 KOs) est né à Cleveland, Ohio, mais se bat maintenant d'Encino, California and is trained by the renowned Manny Robles. He most recently dropped a competitive decision to reigning WBC Middleweight World Champion Carlos Adames in their June 2024 titre mondial de lutte.

Prior to facing Adames, Gausha had won back-to-back bouts as he knocked out Brandyn Lynch in March 2023 before winning a decision over KeAndrae Leatherwood in September of that year. Gausha has faced top competition throughout his career, having fought former champion Austin Trout to a draw in 2019 in addition to decision losses against WBA Middleweight World Champion Erislandy Lara, former world champion Tim Tszyu and top contender Erickson Lubin.

“I’m excited to get back in the mix,Dit Gausha. “I’m always working and staying ready for any opportunity. Sur Mars 22 people will know why I’ve been at this level for so long. I’m going to make a statement for sure.”

L'avenir de la boxe Marco « El Tiburón » Romero Kansas, 18 ans, des super-moyens revient sur le ring

Laisser un commentaire
Ce soir à Portland, MOI
Kansas City, Mai. (Novembre 7, 2024) - Vingt-trois fois champion national amateur, 18-Marco "El Tiburón" Romero, espoir des super-moyens du Kansas, âgé d'un an (3-0, 2 KOs), revient ce samedi soir sur les lieux de ses débuts professionnels réussis en juin dernier à Portland, Maine, 1,300 miles au nord-est de sa maison à Overland Park, Kansas.

Un agent libre promotionnel, Romero affronte Orlando « El Marro » Salgado (3-5, 2 KOs) dans un combat en quatre rounds sur une carte promue par le Portland Boxing Club de Bobby Russo dans l'Exposition Building de Portland.

"J'ai eu mon premier combat professionnel là-bas et j'aime les gens de Portland, surtout Bobby Russo (qui est également président des National Golden Gloves),”A dit Romero. «J'ai adoré la foule, tout le monde était si accueillant, disant, « Allez KC. » Il y a une bonne énergie et je ne pourrais pas être plus reconnaissant.

Romero, qui fêtera son 19e anniversaire en novembre. 19, est un boxeur et un jeune homme spécial. Le dernier 12 les mois ont été un tourbillon absolument incroyable pour lui en boxe.

Parce qu’il n’avait pas atteint l’âge obligatoire de 18 encore, et sa catégorie de poids (super-moyens) n'était pas inclus dans 2024 Boxe olympique, Romero n’a jamais sérieusement envisagé d’attendre une chance de conquérir les États-Unis. Équipe olympique. Plutôt, ses yeux étaient rivés sur le prix de devenir un combattant professionnel.

Dernière Décembre, Romero a remporté les honneurs aux prestigieux championnats nationaux de boxe des États-Unis à Lafayette, Louisiane, suivi de près en mettant cela à profit pour remporter une médaille d'or aux 2024 Tournoi national des Golden Gloves à Détroit.

En tout, à la fin 12 mois, il était 9-0 en compétition amateur, dont trois aux Nationals et cinq aux Golden Gloves, plus trois victoires professionnelles pour un remarquable 12-0 record (trois pro et 8 en compétition amateur nationale d'élite) pendant cette période relativement courte.

Le plan Romero a toujours été de clôturer son incroyable carrière amateur en remportant les Nationals et les Golden Gloves., au cours de laquelle il a également été nommé boxeur le plus remarquable, connu sous le nom de Golden Boy Award, et puis je deviens pro. Mission accomplie!
(L-R) – Le président national des Golden Gloves, Bobby Russo, et Marco Romero avec sa ceinture Golden Gloves et le Golden Boy Award)

«J'aurais aimé combattre aux JO," il expliqua, "parce que tout le bien, les jeunes boxeurs étaient là, et nous (U.S.. hommes) n'ai pas remporté de médaille d'or olympique depuis Andre Ward en 2004. Mais je ne me suis pas retourné 18 jusqu'à deux semaines avant le (Paris) Les Jeux olympiques et ma catégorie de poids n'y étaient pas disputées.

"En ce moment, Je suis dans un nouveau voyage en tant que pro. Honnêtement, il n'y a pas trop de différences entre les amateurs et les pros. Les pesées ont lieu juste avant le combat chez les amateurs et la veille chez les pro.. Je n'ai aucun problème à me battre sans casque ou avec des gants plus petits. Pour moi, il n'y a vraiment pas de grandes différences. Je suis né pour me battre!”

Romero se décrit comme un gros frappeur qui lance chaque coup de poing avec de mauvaises intentions.. Il est très explosif avec l'intelligence du ring, capable de punir son adversaire en le brisant jusqu'à ce qu'il abandonne parce qu'il ne peut subir aucune punition supplémentaire ou s'endormir.

Dans le coin de Romero se trouve une légende à part entière, 77-John Brown, ans, qui est l'entraîneur en chef et le manager de Marco, dans le même rôle qu'il a joué pour le champion du monde des poids lourds Tommy Morrison (48-3-1, 42 KOs) depuis ses jours d'amateur jusqu'à son premier 39 combats professionnels, 1988 à 1993. Le point culminant, bien sûr, était la décision unanime de Morrison en 12 rounds contre George Foreman pour le poste vacant de l'Organisation mondiale de boxe (WBO) titre des poids lourds.

Brown n’a clairement pas besoin d’être dans le coin de Romero pour survivre; cependant, John sait que Marco est un combattant spécial avec un énorme potentiel., et il a juré de l'amener au sommet de la montagne de boxe.
"Je suis vraiment enthousiasmé par cet enfant,»Brown a fait remarquer, "et mon travail consiste à faire en sorte qu'il réussisse pour lui-même et pour sa famille. Marco est un enfant extraordinaire. Il a de l'expérience en boxe 10 ans et 135 combats amateurs. Il a une belle apparence et une bonne personnalité, grand sens de l'humour, parle très bien l'anglais et l'espagnol, maturité au-delà de ses années, et une éthique de travail difficile à trouver en boxe.

« Il a soif de réussir dans la vie et sait que la boxe est le moyen d’y parvenir.. Et il est avec les bonnes personnes qui n'ont pas besoin de nourrir les gens. Tout peut mal tourner, comme des blessures ou des maladies., mais tout est là pour lui et un chemin clair. En termes de potentiel, Marco appartient à une classe rare au sein d'une famille mexicaine-américaine typique., tricot serré et en expansion. Il respecte tout le monde et Marco est un talent unique dans sa vie.

Brown sait qu'un champion de boxe a besoin d'une équipe de soutien à ses côtés. Romero a ça et bien plus encore. En plus de Brown, l'équipe est composée du père de Marco, Salvador, qui a encouragé son fils à devenir boxeur dès l'âge de sept ans, et il est resté avec Marco à chaque étape de son parcours de boxe. Brown a également fait appel à l'un de ses anciens champions amateurs, Sergio Florès, qui est un homme d'affaires très prospère. Flores gère les aspects difficiles de l'entraînement physique nécessaires au succès sur le ring ainsi que le travail des mitaines pour aider Marco à garder les compétences aiguisées..

Les fans présents au spectacle de ce samedi soir à Portland peuvent regarder en arrière dans quelques années et dire qu'ils ont vu l'avenir de la boxe., Cadre "El Tiburon" Romero, quand il n'était qu'un jeune espoir de 18 ans qui commençait sa mission vers la grandeur.
