Irish amateur heavyweight champion Con Sheehan To make pro debut Jan. 19 in L.A.
 CORK, Ирландия (Януари 4, 2016) – Six-time Irish National heavyweight champion С Шийхан will make his long awaited professional debut Януари 19 в четири кръг мач на, срещу противник, който се определя, at Nokia Club in Los Angeles.
Sheehan is scheduled to be in the swing bout, so there’s a possibility that his first pro fight will air live on the Fox Sports 1 излъчване.
6′ 5 ½”, 220-pound Sheehan is athletic, in addition to being a physical specimen, who also captured a gold medal at the European Union Championships.
Possessing tremendous upside, Sheehan decided to enhance his pro boxing career a year ago, moving to Oakland to work with 2011 BWAA Trainer of the Year Върджил Hunter (pictured above with Sheehan). Dividends are already paying off for the young Irishman.
“It’s been eye opening, I suppose, because Virgil is showing me the most simple of things, technically, that I’ve never seen before and it’s making a massive difference to me,” Sheehan said about being trained by Hunter. “My power has increased 10-fold with simple adjustments that I have learned from him. It was a bit of a shock because, I thought I’d cracked the technical side of boxing but he’s taken me to a whole new level.”
 The 26-year-old Sheehan has the advantage of directly learning from one of the most respected and successful trainers in boxing, Ловец, whose top fighters include Андре Уорд (pictured here with Con), Амир Кан и Други Берто.Sheehan is the first Irishman that Hunter has ever trained. “Every coach has his own style and mine is old school from Texas,” Hunter explained. “Mine is slip ‘n slide and my fighters need good reflexes and good legs. Cornelius (Con) isn’t a dancer, but he moves the right way, and I like that a lot. I liked what I saw from the first time we met. He keeps himself in good shape and has a good amateur pedigree. I teach a pro style, even to amateurs, and some like Cornelius are better as pro fighters.
“Cornelius is a strong kid. He’s made mistakes, but earlier in his life, и това е нещо добро. There’s always a transition period and it’ll take him a few years. He’s already proven his dedication by being here. If he keeps on track, fighting and training in the United States, he’ll get there in two-three years. The heavyweight division is changing. This is like the time (Tim)Уидърспун, (Грег) Страница, (Откровен) Bruno and a few others would win the world title and then lose it right back, до (Микрофон) Тайсън came along and cleaned up the division. I’m particularly happy with his progress the last six weeks; Cornelius is focused on doing it, instead of just doing it.”
Sheehan is managed by Гари Hyde (Управление Nowhere2Hyde), who guided the career of world super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rogondeaux, as well as two-time world middleweight title challengerХасан N'Dam N'Jikam.
“Con Sheehan has stood out to me as a fighter with incredible boxing skills who, I knew, would benefit greatly with Virgil Hunter as his trainer,” Hyde added. “After two intensive training camps, we are all satisfied that Con has what it takes to be a major force in the heavyweight division.”

ТЕХНИКА ЗА РАЗМЕР И МОЩНОСТ В НЕФ 21 БОКС ОСНОВНО СЪБИТИЕ
Lewiston, Maine (Януари 5, 2016) - New England Битки (NEF), Номер едно регионално промоция борбата на Америка, ще проведе следващото си събитие, “NEF 21: THE IMMORTALS” на Събота, Февруари 6, 2016 най Androscoggin Bank Colisée в Lewiston на, Maine. Картата за борба е планирано да включва и двете от смесени бойни изкуства (MMA) и професионални боксови мачове. По-рано днес, NEF обяви основното събитие на професионалната боксова част на “NEF 21” борбата карта. Североизточна Junior полусредна категория шампион Brandon “Оръдието” Зрънце (10-1) ще поеме непобедимите Tollison Lewis (2-0) в състезание за супер полусредна категория, планирано за шест кръга.
“Това е класическа битка за размер и сила срещу техниката,” каза NEF съсобственик и промоутър Nick DiSalvo. “В единия ъгъл имате полиран боксьор със солиден аматьорски опит под формата на Брандън Бери, и той ще се бие в по -тежка категория в този двубой. В другия ъгъл имате мощен скандалджия с MMA фон под формата на Tollison Lewis, и той се е борил през по -голямата част от кариерата си в 155 и 170 паунда. Не можете да създадете по -добър контраст в стиловете за двубой като този. Може да се случи почти всичко. Това е битка на всеки. Ще бъде диво в Колизея, когато този изгасне.”
Бери излиза от това, което мнозина смятат за определящата победа в неговата все още млада професионална кариера над песъчливия мексикански ветеран Роберто Валенсуела (73-70-2) миналия ноември в “NEF XX.” Независимо от това, че в началото на двубоя получи лошо изрязване над окото си, Бери запази самообладание и изглеждаше остър по пътя си към единодушно решение за победа в първата осем рунда битка в кариерата си. Уест Форкс, Роден в Мейн беше а 2013 Шампион на Златни ръкавици на Северна Нова Англия като аматьор. Борбата с Люис се очаква да бъде последната, в която Бери ще се състезава над обичайната си 140-килограмова юноша в средна категория.
“Чудесно е да се върнете в действие на ринга толкова скоро, особено след като претърпях такава гадна рана върху окото от последната ми битка през ноември,” - каза Бери. “Благодаря на NEF, че постави още един много труден противник пред мен. Толисън е класна игра на и извън ринга, и мисля, че нашите стилове ще направят приятна среща. Спомням си, че все още бях непобеден и знам колко важно е да се запази ‘0’ в записа е. Толисън е голям, силен спортист и съм сигурен, че ще бъде повече от подготвен. И той, и аз разбираме конкуренцията, и най -вероятно ще бъдат приятели след това събитие. Радвам се да споделя с него това основно събитие, и може би най-добрият човек спечели!”
Набегът на Толисън Люис в света на бокса беше непланиран. През октомври 2014, само 24 часа преди началото на първия “NEF Бокс” събитие, Луис се изправи срещу ветерана на бокса Джон Уебстър (8-7-1) след като предишният противник на Уебстър отпадна. Ръководители на NEF, запознат с поразителната сила на Люис в мачовете му по ММА, помоли Люис да вземе битката в последната минута и Люис не се поколеба да се задължи. Той продължи да тормози Уебстър в продължение на четири рунда, (включително избиване на Уебстър от ринга на масата на хронометриста), побеждавайки с единодушно решение. Миналия ноември, в още едно доминиращо изпълнение на боксовия ринг на NEF, Люис спря Зенон Ерера (0-1) с ТКО от трети кръг. Победа над боксьор от калибър Бери, без съмнение, би издигнал Люис на следващото ниво в спорта. Люис е член на бразилското джиу-джицу в Централна Мейн (CMBJJ) в Люистън, където тренира при треньора по бокс Скот Фрост.
“Брандън е твърд човек и добър боксьор,” Люисовата. “Очаквам война. Ще донеса всичко, което имам, и знам, че и той ще го направи, но смятам да остана непобеден. Няма да си пускам устата. Изпитвам голямо уважение към Бери, но феновете не искат да пропуснат това. Тази битка ще бъде война и ще открадне нощта. Благодаря на NEF и Brandon, нека го направим човече!”

Melson Nominated for Most Inspirational of 2015!
Ню Йорк, NY (Декември 29, 2015) – Junior middleweight boxer and philanthropist Boyd “Rainmaker” Melson has been nominated for Most Inspirational by Ring Magazine.
Having dedicated most of his life during the last 13 years to help cure Chronic Spinal Cord Injuries, Melson’s selfless efforts have been chronicled by various media outlets. The visibility of the cause he fights for and organization he donates 100% of his fight purses to, Team Fight да Walk, has grown tremendously during the last few years.
The 2003 West Point graduate also helped organize three successful “Fighting for the Cure” galas and successfully lobbied New York’s powers that be to reinstate a bill that allocates a percentage of each moving violation towards Spinal Cord Injury research. Миналото лято, на 15-1-1 junior middleweight along with Dr. Wise Young, Dr. Patricia Morton and others met with Congressman Chaka Fattah at a briefing at the Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC to discuss clinical trials that could help hundreds of thousands suffering from Spinal Cord Injuries walk again. Word from Congress about the trial going forward is expected в рамките на 90 дни.
Общо, Melson’s raised more than $350,000 for Team Fight to Walk.
"Last December the WBC honored me with their Ambassador Of Peace Award and this past July the NABF honored me with their Humanitarian Award,"Каза Melson, who captured the WBC USNBC title with a career best performance in May 2015. “A sport that I was forced to first partake in because of a mandatory gym class at West Point my Plebe (новак) year along with my belief how I could use the boxing ring in order to help find a way to help people walk again has turned into this.”
"My only hope is that any human being learning of this story, especially children, internalize the following: understand your power of creating a vision, understanding what your own abilities are to achieve that vision and prepare to suffer while holding on to that vision for as long as their is air in your lungs. I believe my experience throughout this journey so far has shown again how one person can be the raindrop that creates the storm of change. What is real in our minds is real. I’m honored that Ring Magazine included me and I hope the publicity helps raise funds and awareness for Spinal Cord Injuries. Thank you to the sport I love for sharing my dream.”

Undefeated Middleweight Rob Brant Faces Decarlo Perez in Main Event; Harmonito Dela Torre, Jarrell Miller & Бахтияр Eyubov
Risk Their Unblemished Records In Other Televised Fights
Петък, Jan. 22 При 10:35 p.m. И/PT
Живеят на SHOWTIME®
NEW YORK (Декември. 28, 2015) - ShoBox: Новото поколение begins its 15тата year on SHOWTIME® with an explosive quadrupleheader on Петък, Jan. 22, 2016 на живо от Казино Дел Сол in Tucson, Аризона. (10:35 p.m. И/PT, забавено на Западния бряг).
В основното събитие на вечерта, непобеден в средната категория Rob "Bravo" Брант (18-0, 11 Нокаута, 0-3 в Световните серии по бокс) Св. Paul, От., measures against Atlantic City’s Decarlo Perez (15-3-1, 5 Нокаута) в 10-кръг двубой на.
In co-featured bouts, неизследван Harmonito “Hammer” Dela Torre (17-0, 12 Нокаута), of Las Vegas by way of Philippines, makes his United States debut against Rafael Guzman (16-1-1, 10 Нокаута), от Енсенада, Mexico in an eight-round super featherweight bout and undefeated heavyweight Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller (15-0-1, 13 Нокаута) на Brooklyn, N.Y.. faces southpaw Донован Dennis (14-3, 11 Нокаута, 2-1 in WSB) Кливланд, Ohio in an eight-round scrap.
Отваряне на ShoBox телевизионно предаване, трудно потегля Бахтияр Eyubov (9-0, 9 Нокаута), на Brooklyn, N.Y.. by way of Kazakhstan, отговаря Джаред Робинсън(16-2-1, 7 Нокаута), of Sumter, S.C. in an eight-round super lightweight tiff.
The event is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions.
Boxing historian and expert ring analyst Стив Farhood has called every fight on ShoBox since it premiered in 2001. He anticipates another year of excellent, competitive matchups in 2016.
“In 2015, we had eight fighters who appeared on ShoBox и отново печели световни титли. That means the average number of shows in which you’ll see a future world champion is one out of four,"Каза Farhood.
“We saw some fantastic prospects last year, включително и Erickson Lubin и Regis Prograis and fresh faces like Джарет Хърд, Rob Брант—and a fighter who almost seems ready to fight for a title now—SergeyDerevyanchenko. Given Shobox’s 15-year history, I’m fully expecting that we will have more of the same in 2016.’’
Брант, Perez and Miller will be making their second consecutive appearances on ShoBox. Brant and Miller were victorious last Октомври. 23, Perez last Август. 28. Robinson will also be making his second ShoBox start; the four other boxers will be making their debuts.
“Both Brant and Perez won their most recent appearances on ShoBoxand both were impressive,'', Каза Farhood. “Brant took a big step up and outpointed Louis Rose in October and Perez pulled off the upset over the previously unbeaten Juan Ubaldo Cabrera през август. So it makes all the sense in the world to match them against each other. На Jan. 22, we’re going to find out just how hot Rob Brant is.’’
Twenty-six-year-old Brant will be headlining his second consecutiveShoBox. В първия си, he captured a hard-fought 10-round majority decision over Rose. Върви 10 Кръгове за първи път, Brant triumphed in an entertaining tight fight.
Преди да станат професионалисти през ноември 2010, Brant was a 2010 Национален Златни ръкавици шампион в 178 паунда и член на U.S. national boxing team pro. He currently trains in Dallas alongside top prospect Ерол Спенс Jr.
“I’m really excited about this fight and I’ve been training hard for several weeks now,’’ Brant said. “I’ve got a very serious opponent in front of me. He rates about a 7.7 at everything, which doesn’t leave a whole lot of weaknesses. I’ve got to go back to pure boxing for this one. I have to be better in every department. It’s my second time headlining ShoBox and I plan on improving from the first time, so viewers can chart my progress. This is my time to show my growth.’’
Перес, who hails from a fighting family, has won four straight and nine of his last 10. He scored a surprising, разстроен, a 10-round unanimous decision over Cabrera (23-0 влизам) in his last outing. Перес, който пое борбата с предизвестие една седмица, outpointed the two-time Dominican Republic Olympian by the scores of 98-91 и два пъти 97-92.
“I’m so excited I’m the main event on national television,’’ Perez said. “I don’t know a lot about my opponent but I’m well prepared, both mentally and physically. I plan on giving the fans an exciting night.
“Camp is going very well. My management team has brought in top sparring with all undefeated boxers, one being Julian Williams. I’m excited that my trainer is allowing me to fight the majority, if not all of this fight, in the southpaw stance. I’m really a southpaw, but I have fought right-handed most of my career.”
Perez’ last loss came on a split eight-round decision to world title challenger Wilky Campfort през януари 2014. Извън ринга, Perez is a pharmacy technician at an Atlantic City hospital.
Мелничар, a former New York Golden Gloves finalist who turned pro in July 2009, is a confident, power-punching heavyweight who comes to knock you out. He won his ShoBox debut, спиране Akhror Muralimov with a devastating right hand to the chin at 1:03 в третия кръг.
“I feel like I should have been here two years ago,’’ Miller said. “I’m not coming to make friends. I’m here to annihilate and destroy the whole heavyweight division. На Jan. 22, I’m going to put Donovan Dennis to sleep. I’m not being heard right now, so I have to make myself known. After this fight and what I do to Dennis, things will really, really start to pick up. I’m ready to destroy.’’
Besides being a hard hitter, Miller has good overall skills and movement for a big man whose weight fluctuates from fight to fight. He’s won his last four by knockout, all inside three rounds.
Known for an aggressive style, Miller is now fully focused on a fistic career, but he hails from an MMA and kickboxing background. За няколко години, той се състезава в K-1, исторически света премиер кикбокс организация, и два пъти се бори легендарния Мирко “Cro Cop” Filipović.
“There seems to be a new energy and enthusiasm on the American heavyweight scene,'', Каза Farhood. “Part of that is explained by the fall of a dominant champion in Владимир Кличко and part of it is explained by the emergence of Дионтей Уайлдър, and even Travis Kauffman. So for a young heavyweight like Jarrell Miller, the time seems to be ideal to secure TV exposure and make a name for himself.’’
Dennis, 28, was born and raised in Davenport, Iowa. Before turning pro in June 2010, he was a top-level amateur: 11-time Iowa State Champion, 2011 National Golden Gloves runner-up in and 2012 The. S. Olympic Games Trials contestant.
The 6-foot-4 Dennis possesses good skills, movement and punching power to go with his strong amateur background. His weakness is durability; he’s been knocked out in all of his losses.
“I’m ready to fight,’’ Dennis said. “I’ve been training really hard and I am looking forward to the fight. I just want to get this win and move on as I will have a big year in 2016.’’
Dela Torre, considered one of the top young talents in the Philippines, will be fighting outside of Asia for the first time. A big puncher and winner of seven straight by knockout, 5-крак-8, 21-year-old is coming off athird-round TKO over Ricard Betos последно Ноември. 14.
“It’s every boxer’s dream to fight on big cards in United States. This is the next step in my pathway to becoming world champion,’’ Dela Torre said. “I can’t wait. This is an opportunity I will take advantage of and show everyone I’m ready to step up. I let my team concentrate on my opponents and pass me instructions. I just know I’ll be ready and able to stop any opponent.’’
Before turning professional at 17, Dela Torre was a top member on the Philippine National Amateur Boxing Team. As a pro, he has made a “name” for himself after an impressive victory over Jason Butar-Butar on the undercard of a Мани Пакиао-headlined fight in November 2013.
Гузман, a 5-foot-8½-inch 20-year-old, ще бъде вземането му северноамерикански. debut and initial start outside of Mexico since turning pro at 16 през юли 2011. In Dela Torre, Guzman will be taking a significant step up in class. Той вкара трети кръг TKO над Pedro Lopez on his last start in Октомври. 9.
“I’m feeling very strong and ready for the challenge of this fight,’’ Guzman said. “Fighting on SHOWTIME is a huge opportunity for me. I hear my opponent is a good fighter, but I am ready for anything he can throw. Everybody is going to be talking about me after this fight.”
Yeyubov, 29, who could be on the fast track to stardom, is regarded by many to be the second-hardest Kazakh hitter in boxing, ranked only behind Генадий Golovkin. Since his days as an amateur when he won more than 150 битки, a vast majority by knockout, Eyubov has lived up to his reputation as a fearsome banger who looks to remove the judges from the equation.
He’s overwhelmed his first nine opponents as a pro, winning six by knockout in the first round and two by knockout in the second. The furthest he’s gone in a fight came in his second start when he scored a third-round TKO (2:57) над Jhaquis Davis. In his last outing on Октомври. 29, той вкара 1:27, първия рунд с TKO над Antonio Chaves Fernandes в Бруклин.
Robinson, a pro since August 2009, fights out of Charlotte, N.C. A veteran of several scheduled 10-round fights, he’s undeniably the most experienced boxer Eyubov’s ever faced. A natural 140-pounder,Robinson won his initial 14 starts before losing on a fourth-round TKO to then-unbeaten Amir I на ShoBox in a bout he took on short notice on Feb. 21, 2014.
Преди две стартирания, Robinson fought to a disputed eight-round split draw against then-unbeaten Haskell Rhodes (23-0 влизам) юни 21, 2015. An excellent boxer with good skills and movement, the 5-foot-9-inch Robinson, 33, is coming off a one-sided 10-round decision overChristian Dominguez последно Седем. 26. Извън ринга, Robinson is amassage therapist.
