MILWAUKEE – March 15, 2023 -Combat sport legendsRoy Jones Jr.ogAnthony Pettispreviewed their upcoming pro boxing clash during a virtual press conference Wednesday before they go toe-to-toe on Saturday, April 1 headlining the“Gamebred Boxing 4” pay-per-view event from Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee in an event presented byJorge Masvidal’s Gamebred Boxing.

The pay-per-view can be purchased through InDEMAND, PPV.com and UFC Fight Pass PPV, with tickets to the live event available throughFiservForum.comAdditional event details will be announced shortly.

I main event, the Boxing Hall of Famer Jones and the former UFC and WEC World Champion Pettis will go toe-to-toe in an intriguing clash of two of combat sports’ most skilled, accomplished and popular champions, as Milwaukee’s Pettis looks to put on a memorable performance for his hometown fans.

Here is what the virtual press conference participants had to say Wednesday:

ROY JONES JR.

“I wanted to fight Anderson Silva back in the day, but it kept getting pushed to the side. When they told me about the Pettis fight, it was intriguing. He’s done things in MMA that no one has ever done. To face someone else with the same kind of creative mind, I couldn’t say no to it.

“He’s different and he’s very creative with his style. He knows what he’s doing. He’s sparring with guys like former world champion Caleb Plant. That’s the right kind of sparring. He’s not playing boxing, he’s serious about it.

“I feel like I was the first person to come up with the crossover boxing vs. MMA fight idea, but I never got to do it. This was the perfect opportunity. I know that he’s gonna go hard with his boxing, because he’s facing one of the greats. If I were playing Michael Jordan one-on-one, I’d put everything into it.  

“My game is to help put on an awesome card for the people. My goal in boxing has always been to give the people what they want to see.

“I love the fact that I get to fight in a place I’ve never been. They have the Greek Freak [Giannis Antetokounmpo] der, and we’re both freaks in the ring, so why not make it happen? When you get the opportunity, you gotta shoot, and that’s what we do.

“I’m older, but I’m still wise. What better way for him to learn boxing than against someone who knows basically everything about the sport?"

ANTHONY PETTIS

“It’s crazy to be in this position and be fighting Roy Jones Jr. in my first boxing fight. This is a challenge I’ve been waiting for. You can’t say no to an opportunity like this. This is the kind of challenge that wakes me up every morning and makes me want to bring it.

“I’m just straight boxing now. I’m finding the best boxers I can spar with here in Las Vegas. I’m living the lifestyle. How could you not be motivated when facing a guy like Roy? I come to win fights and that’s the goal April 1.

“I’ve done so much in MMA, but I grew up watching fights like Oscar De La Hoya vs. Felix Trinidad. Watching that is why I got into combat sports. Now that I have this opportunity, I’m hiring the right guys and doing everything I need to do to take this 100% seriously.

“I’ve been working a lot to adjust to fighting at a bigger weight. I was already in fight shape coming into camp, because this is just such a great opportunity. I feel like I’m getting used to the pressure that he’s gonna bring. I’m gonna use the smarts and skills I’ve accumulated over the years and try to put it on him.

“If you look at my UFC career, I fought the best of the best. That’s exactly what I’m bringing to my boxing career. These are the kind of challenges I want.

“I’m testing myself against one of the greats. So this would be huge for MMA as a sport. I’m not going to let this slip through my fingers. I think you’re going to be surprised by my skillset.”

JORGE MASVIDAL, CEO of Gamebred Boxing

“I’m so pumped. I can’t believe I’m looking at Roy and Pettis and it’s all coming to life. I remember Dean and I were having a conversation about this happening months ago, and now it’s happening.

“I’ve been watching Roy since I was a kid, and being a Florida guy, we really go hard for him. We’re so happy to be able to put this together. Pettis is one of the greatest 155 pounders I’ve ever seen. These styles are a great mesh, because they both know how to be flashy.

“I can’t believe this flight is about to take place. Props to everyone for stepping up, especially the fighters, because if it weren’t for them it wouldn’t be happening.

“I know Pettis has been focusing on striking for a while now, and I can’t wait to see how one of my MMA brothers does against one of the greatest boxers to ever live.

“We just want to put on the best cards possible and that’s what this feels like. After a long week’s work, am I gonna shell out the money for this card? When I look at this card, I’d definitely pay for this. This is history for any combat sports enthusiast.”

DEAN TOOLE, President of Gamebred Boxing

“This is only the second event ever that UFC Fight Pass has promoted through a digital pay-per-view, with the other being Mayweather vs. McGregor. That says a lot about how big this event is.

“This fight card is absolutely stacked. We have UFC and Strikeforce world champions, UFC veterans and one of the greatest boxers to ever do it, bare for at nævne nogle få. We have an incredible lineup and I can’t wait to hear from these amazing fighters today.

“We’re also going to have real boxing prospects and up-and-comers on this card. These types of fights will put eyeballs on upcoming boxers who will eventually be headlining these cards.”

Top Florida boxing prospects in action April 1st on “Night of Redemption” in Orlando

poster.jpg

ORLANDO, Fla. (Marts 13, 2023) – Many of the most promising boxing prospects in Florida, including several promising Cuban boxers, will be showcased on the “Night of Redemption” card, on Saturday night, April 1, at Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida.  

“Night of Redemption,” co-promoted by Orlando Boxing Promotions and Boxlab Promotions, will be streamed live on pay-per-view from Orlando onwww.boxtv.com

“Caribe Royale is looking forward to hosting ‘Night of Redemption’ on April 1st,” said Amaury Piedra, Managing Director, Caribe Royale Resort. “This joint promotion between Boxlab Promotions and Orlando Boxing Promotions will feature a mix of a current regional champion in Idalberto Umara defends his Fedecaribe title, along with up-and-coming prospects such as Orlando’s Adrian Pinheiro, Jeovanny Estela, Joshua Lebron, and others. We’re always proud to have activities at The Resort like this boxing card, which brings in visitors and locals alike. This should be a great night allowing our local young talent to showcase their skills in Central Florida’s home of Boxing, the Caribe Royale Resort.”

“I’m super excited to be promoting my first show in Orlando where I live,” remarked Orlando Boxing Promotions president Tony Blanco, who lived and promoted shows in Connecticut. “To be promoting this show with Boxlab, which is a big boxing company here in Central Florida, and its crew at a beautiful venue like Caribe Royale Resort is amazing.”

Unbeaten Polish cruiserweight Adrian “Pretty Boy” Pinheiro (10-0-1, 9 KOS), fighting out of Orlando, will headline in the 8-round main event against Demetrius Banks (5 KOS), af Detroit. The 25-year-old Pinheiro is coming off his lone non-victory as a professional this past February 25, fighting Isaiah Thompson to a 6-round split draw. Bank is best known for ruining the professional debut of Antwaun Tubbs, the son of former world heavyweight champion Tony Tubbsby way of a 4-round technical knockout in 2014.

“Adrian is seeking redemption after he fought to a draw in his last fight (Februar. 25th vs. Isaiah Thompson),” added Blanco, who trains Pinhiero. “He’s stepping up to fight his first scheduled 8-round bout and his first main event. He’s coming off a draw but he’s looking at it as a loss. He wants to put that fight behind and move forward. Not only did he want to go 8 runder, but he also wanted to fight a tough, durable opponent. Most fighters coming off a draw, they’d want a tune-up fight to build back their confidence, but Adrian is ready for what’s coming next for him in his career.”

The 6-round co-featured event undefeated 22-year-old Jeovanny Estela, 10-0, 3 KOS) will put his perfect pro record on the line against Saul “Navajo” Corrall (23-20, 13 KOS), Golf. Corrall, who is a former WBC FECARBOX welterweight champion, clearly represents the toughest test of Estela’s young pro boxing career. Battle-tested Corrall has been in the ring with world champions such as Sadam Ali and Victor Ortiz, as well as several contenders, and hot prospects like Estella.

Cuban Idalberto Umara (9-1, 6 KOS), kæmper ud af Miami, will make his first title defense of the WBA Fedecaribe Lightweight crown in a 10-round title fight versus a challenger to be announced. Umara captured his Fedecarbie championship belt in his last fight by way of a second-round technical knockout of Deivi Julio this past February 25th at Caribe Royale in Orlando.

Two other Cuban boxers are scheduled to be in action. Miami-based Damian Lascaille (3-0, 2 KOS) vs. TBA in a 4-rounder, while Las Vegas heavyweight Henrich Ruiz Cordoba (1-0, 1 KO) is matched in a 6-round bout against veteran Mexican fighter Jose “Olympico” Humberto Corrall (20-32, 12 KOS).

Orlando cruiserweight Daine Smikle (1-0), who was a member of the Jamaican National Boxing Team, is a former Connecticut resident (New Haven) like Blanco who has also resettled in Orlando. Smikle is in a 4-round match vs. TBA.

Also fighting in the undercard is 4-rounders are Orlando super welterweight Ramiro De Jesus (2-0, 1 KO) vs. pro-debuting Bryan Duran, af Miami; Orlando cruiserweight A’Mire “Devine” Lewis (4-0, 3 KOS) vs. TBA, Orlando lightweight and Puerto Rico native Jonathan Cortes (1-0, 1 KO) vs. TBA; and Orlando’s super bantamweight Joshua Lebron (5-0-1, 4 KOS) vs. TBA.

QUINCY, Masse. (Februar 27, 2023) – Styles make fights and a potential instant classic is on tap March 11th in the “Springfield Championship Boxing 2” main event, when undefeated Kenny “Lionheart” Larson (6-0, 5 KOS) challenges defending card Massachusetts State Welterweight Champion Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (10-0, 6 KOS) in the 8-round headliner, at MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts.

“Springfield Championship Boxing 2”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (GCP), will be streamed live on BXNGTV.com.

“This fight has all the makings to be one of those local fights that people talk about for years,” GCP president Chris Traietti commented. “You have a hyper aggressive guy like Kenny going up against a slick counterpuncher like Denzel. Both guys are undefeated and there’s a state title on the line. Kudos to both guys for taking this fight, one that nobody will want to miss.”

Larson, 33, is an ultra-aggressive fighter who constantly applies pressure on his opponent; Whitley’s an intelligent counterpuncher that breaks down the other guy in the ring. It figures to be an exciting showdown to determine who fights his fight. It’s so rare for a pair of undefeated prospects to fight each other so early in their professional careers.

“We are looking to showcase that we are both serious,” Larson explained. We both want to make statements! As long as I do what I’m supposed to do, fighting like I do in the gym, it doesn’t matter that I’m fighting him in his neck of the woods. (Whitley is from Holyoke, which is only 8 miles from the Springfield venue.) One night a fan said to me, ‘You fight with the heart of a lion.’ I couldn’t think of a better nickname for me. Han (Whitley) beat Kris Jacobs (WMDEC8) in his last fight (to capture the vacant Mass. welterweight title) and I knocked out a guy (Ryan Clark) in the first round who defeated Jacobs.

“We’ll see what happens when the kitchen starts getting heated up (vs. Whitley). Everybody has a plan going into a fight. Anyone who knows me knows my assets and what I have for him. I’ve watched him (Whitley) on tape and saw a few things that interested me. I was kind of amused by what he had to say. Let the cards lay where they may and we’ll see what it comes down to. I’ll have people there for me. I’ve always had a huge crowd behind me since I was an amateur because of my fan-friendly style.”

Larson was a hockey player who didn’t pick up boxing until he was in high school. He started at a gym that wasn’t, as he described, super serious about boxing, more for fitness, and one day a friend suggested that he go to train at the Somerville Boxing Club., where he changed his life,  både i og uden for ringen.  

“Everything there was serious,” Larson reported. “Things clicked and I had focus and direction. I had a substance abuse problem, drinking, but I changed addictions from drinking to boxing for the last 10 år. I dag, I have no days off from boxing.”

Larson now trains out of Broadway Boxing in Everett (MA) with Joe Riccardi as his head trainer.

A native of Salem (MA), Larson was a 3-time Central New England Golden Gloves runner-up, samt en 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion in the novice division.

The O must go for either Larson or Whitley. Fans will be the biggest winner!

The Cruz brothers, lightweight Isaiah (5-0, 3 KOS) and super lightweight Calixto (1-0), fighting out of Springfield, will both be in action in front of fans, familie, og venner. In the 6-round co-featured event, Isaiah “Baby Warrior” Cruz will face Akeem “Action Action” Jackson (6-5, 5 KOS) in the 6-round co-featured event, while Calixto meets Luis “Broccoli” Gerardo Avila (8-22-3, 5 KOS) i en 4-round Bout.

Also schedule to be in action are unbeaten Dominican welterweight Carlos Castillo (6-0, 4 KOS), of Holyoke (MA); Puerto Rican super lightweight Ian “Dinamite” Garcia (2-0-1, 1 KO), af Springfield; Springfield super featherweight Carlos Gonzalez (4-0, 4 KOS), and Springfield super lightweight Liz Humphries (0-1-1)

SUBRIEL MATIAS CAPTURES VACANT IBF 140-POUND WORLD TITLE WITH FIFTH-ROUND TKO OF JEREMIAS PONCE IN HIGH-OCTANE SHOWTIME® MAIN EVENT SATURDAY NIGHT FROM THE ARMORY IN MINNEAPOLIS

Minneapolis-Native Jamal James and Super Lightweight Contender Elvis Rodriguez Score Victories in Televised Undercard of Premier Boxing Champions Event

KlikHER til Fotos fra Esther Lin / SHOWTIME

MINNEAPOLIS – February 26, 2023 -Power-punchingSubriel Matiasshowed why he’s become one of boxing’s most vaunted knockout artists as he stopped the previously unbeatenJeremias Ponceafter five rounds to win the vacant IBF 140-pound World Championship Saturday night live on SHOWTIME from The Armory in Minneapolis headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Puerto Rico’s Matias (19-1, 19 KOS) captured the title in an electric firefight that saw the two top-ranked 140-pounders throw over 800 combined punches in five rounds according to CompuBox. For Matias, the victory culminated a long journey that had him away from his family for nearly a year as he trained in Mexico for his first title opportunity.

“I’m on cloud nine right now,” said Matias. “I don’t think I’ve woken up from this dream. Maybe I can tell you how it feels tomorrow, men lige nu, it’s a dream come true. I wanted to work him from the first round on, because I knew he wouldn’t have the same power as me as the fight went on.”

Ponce (30-1, 20 KOS) came out extremely aggressive and looked to swarm Matias early as he threw 96 punches in round one, out landing Matias 28 til 11. Matias adjusted in round two, closing the distance and smothering Ponce to dull some of his attack while also finding spots for his own short power punches.

I thought it was an even fight, but one punch can change everything and that’s what happened,” said Ponce. “Subriel is a tough, strong fighter and I knew what he was capable of.”

After landing a powerful left hand that hurt Ponce late in round four, Matias returned determined and sharp in round five, landing 47% of his power punches over the three minutes. In the waning moments of the round, Matiaslanded the decisive blows, a series of head and body shots that badly hurt Matias and put him on the mat.

Ponce was able to make it to his stool, but his corner had seen enough and suggested that the fight be stopped, with the official result coming as a TKO at the end of round five.

“I’m fine now,” said Ponce. “My team knows me, and they made the decision that they had to make. It hurts, but the most important thing is that I’m healthy.”

“I wasn’t really surprised,” said Matias. “Once I saw how his corner reacted. I saw that [Ponce] was hurt. I thought that I was patient in the first four rounds, so I came out with a different approach and mindset in the fifth.”

Efter kampen, with his IBF belt in tow, Matias set his sights on a unification showdown against WBC 140-pound World Champion Regis Prograis.

“Regis Prograis, I’m coming for you,” said Matias. “I’m the world champion now. I promise that I’m coming to hurt you. Prograis likes to talk the talk, but I have that same mentality. Let’s see who prevails. I want him to see that there are people crazier than him in this sport.”

I co-main event, Minneapolis-native and welterweight contenderJamal “Shango” James(28-2, 12 KOS) returned from a 16-month layoff to thrill a sold-out hometown crowd and earn a unanimous decision victory after 10-rounds against Argentine OlympianAlberto Palmetta(18-2, 13 KOS).

“I’m pretty sure everybody can see that layoff affected me,” said James. “I had a lot of rust in me. My legs weren’t sharp, my punches weren’t sharp, but I’m glad I was able to get in there. I liked that because it’s pushing me mentally and it made me step up to the occasion.”

“I thought it was an even fight,” said Palmetta. “I was the aggressor throughout against a former world champion, a taller opponent with longer reach than me.”

In his first action since losing his WBA Welterweight Title to Radzhab Butaev in October 2021, James picked up his fifth career victory at the friendly confines of The Armory. Using his considerable height and reach advantage, James was able to control much of the action and contest the bout on his terms.

“I was trying to adapt,” said James. “I definitely felt like I won the fight but I believe I could’ve done much better. I know that I’m a lot sharper. I know that my endurance is a lot stronger. I just had a lot of time off and my body is still getting back in shape. I’ll be back for sure.”

“I also like to counter, but I ratcheted up the pressure in the second half of the fight,” said Palmetta. “Maybe it looked like Jamal James was superior in the first half because he kept being conservative and countering.”

Palmetta had success countering James but was unable to put together enough combinations or hurt James during the action. James’ edge was reflected on the scorecards, as he out landed Palmetta 193 til 111, herunder en 153 til 102 edge in power punches.

James was also able to use a sharp body attack to keep Palmetta at bay, landing 68 throughout the fight, sammenlignet med blot 20 from Palmetta. In round nine, a sharp right uppercut caused Palmetta to stumble and let to a raucous exchange that stirred James’ hometown fans.

The crowd again rose to their feet as James and Palmetta whipped power punches throughout the final moments of round 10. James kept his perfect record at The Armory intact by wide scores of 99-91 og 98-92 to gange.

“I know I can be a champion again because I was a champion before,” said James. “I have to stay focused. Stay in the gym and back and study this fight – actually, my last two fights – and step it up. Thanks to everybody in Minneapolis for coming and showing me love.”

I fjersynsudsendelse åbneren, super lightweight contenderElvis Rodriguez(14-1-1,12 KOS) overcame a slow start to earn a hard-fought majority decision over the hard-hittingJoseph Adorno(17-2-2, 14 KOS) efter 10 runder.

“Ring rust was definitely a factor,” said Rodriguez. “Maybe the struggle was more mental than physical in a way, but the important thing is that I overcame it.”

After a couple of rounds feeling each other out, Adorno was the first to have success, showing a varied attack with hooks to the body and head. He punctuated a strong fourth round with several counter hooks right before the closing bell.

In round five the action began to heat up, with Rodriguez starting to find a home for his offense as well, while still taking consistent return fire from Adorno. Rodriguez would eventually take control of the fight in the seventh roundlanding a perfect right hook that badly hurt Adorno. Rodriguez followed up quickly and forced Adorno to the canvas to score the knockdown, although Adorno was able to stay in the fight and make it through the round.

“I thought I had him once I landed that right hook, but he got up,” said Rodriguez. “He’s a warrior and a good fighter… The seventh round was huge, that’s when I truly started to win this fight. I have to give credit to Adorno for being savvy and knowing how to keep his distance before then.”

Rodriguez rode that momentum through the rest of the fight, out landing Adorno 52 til 33 across rounds seven through 10. The Freddie Roach-trained contender punctuated his victory in the final frame, landing a left that referee Jon Schorle ruled a knockdown, despite the objection from Adorno, who felt he was tripped during the exchange.

After the 10rounds Rodriguez emerged victorious on the judges’ cards, as one score of 94-94 was overruled by tallies of 95-93 og 97-91. Post-fight, Adorno expressed his belief that his early success was enough for him to earn a better result, while Rodriguez set his sights on the new 140-pound champion Matias.

I thought the judges were blind,” said Adorno. “I can’t get a win with these judges. I don’t know how you see the fight 97-91. I thought I won every round except the ones he dropped me. He never out worked me at all. I had the jab in his face and was snapping him to the body. He couldn’t do anything. No way he won seven rounds. I thought 94-94 was okay because of the two knockdowns.

“Like I said yesterday at the weigh-in, bring on the winner of the main event,” said Rodriguez. “And to my people in the Dominican Republic, just know that I’ll be back even bolder and even better next time.”

Prior to the telecast, the SHOWTIME BOXING COUNTDOWN show streamed live on theSHOWTIME SPORTS YouTube channel ogSHOWTIME Boxing Facebook-side and was topped by a welterweight matchup that saw Minneapolis-nativeVe’Shawn Owens(14-3, 12 KOS) score a unanimous decision overKudratillo Abdukakhorov(18-2, 10 KOS) after 10-rounds.

Georgia fluevægteren Sa'Rai "Warrior Princess" Brown-El, det fremtidige ansigt for kvindeboksning

Colorado Springs, Lap. (November 14, 2022) - Georgia fluevægteren Sa'Rai "Warrior Princess" Brown-El er på et sensationelt løb, mens hun forbereder sig på at konkurrere i det kommende ungdoms-VM, November 14-26, i La Nucia, Spanien.

Den 17-årige fra Marietta er tre gange national junior-OL-mester (2017-19) som også har erobret guldmedaljer på 2021 USA Boxing Youth National Championships, 2020 USA Boxing Junior National Championships, 2019 Junior Open og 2019 National PAL, blandt de mange titler, hun ejer.

Hun begyndte at bokse i en alder af 8 i Albany, New York, hvor hendes familie var på besøg, til sidst førte dem alle til sin onkels fitnesscenter. Hendes far ønskede oprindeligt, at hendes brødre skulle bokse, men Sa’Rai ville også engagere sig i kampsport. Det var en naturlig overgang for hende, der er en arvebokser, fordi hendes far, mor og brødre har alle bokset.

"Mig og min mor gik for at finde et par handsker, efter vi fik at vide, at der ikke var nogen tilbage. Jeg begyndte at slå i posen, og så lavede jeg luffer med min onkel. Det var der, jeg blev forelsket i sporten og opdagede, at jeg naturligt var født til at gøre det her."

Hun har udmærket sig på alle områder på sin bemærkelsesværdige rolle, som hun vil forsøge at forlænge ved ungdoms-VM i løbet af de næste to uger.

“Jeg er super pumpet og klar til at tage til Spanien til ungdomsverdenen," sagde den ultrasikre Sa'Rai. "Min tankegang er på guld. Min manifestation og hårde arbejde vil bringe mig i toppen på den sidste dag med guldmedaljen om halsen på det nummer et podie. Det er virkelig en velsignelse at repræsentere USA.

”Min største udfordring er nok mig selv; boksning er 90 procent mentalt, hvilket betyder, at jeg skal have en tankegang om, at intet kan være svært nok til at forhindre mig i at nå mine mål. Mine kortdistancemål, lige nu, skal vinde Youth Worlds og slutte året af med Youth High Performance Team. Lang distance, Jeg ville sige, er at kæmpe i 2024 OL i Paris. At være verdensmester, så op til som en inspiration for alle og, vigtigst, har vist sig at være den mest frygtede kvindelige bokser."

Brown-El mener, at USA Boxing har hjulpet med at arbejde mod andre stilarter ved turneringer, ud over at have gavn af at træne med sine elite staldkammerater, og under vejledning af trænere i verdensklasse, på det topmoderne United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center i Colorado Springs, Colorado.

“Jeg kan vise mine evner og har lært mange andre færdigheder og øvelser der (træningscenter) at blive en universalbokser,” bemærkede hun. "Jeg har været i stand til at gå imod enhver stil, der er i internationale kampe og være i stand til at dominere hver gang. USA Boxing har lært mig meget værdifulde lektioner: at være professionel, disciplineret og dedikeret, fordi der er mange forhindringer, der følger med. For mig, at være professionel er den eneste måde at få en karriere i denne sport på."
Vinder ved 2021 National at være en del af 2022 Ungdoms High Performance Team, hidtil, er højdepunkterne i hendes relativt unge boksekarriere. At vinde den guldmedalje, Sa'Rai forklarede, hun havde brug for at trænge igennem skader, der næsten tvang hende til at trække sig ud af turneringen.

Brown-El har en høj ring-IQ. Dybest set, den søde videnskab handler om at ramme modstanderen uden at blive ramt, især i boksning i olympisk stil. Hendes ring-IQ er højere end hendes år, ved hjælp af vinkler, konstant i bevægelse, og forvirrer sin modstander med sin undvigelse. Og, Brown-El tilføjer hurtigt, det betyder ikke, at hun ikke banker, hvis det er nødvendigt.

"Jeg elsker at repræsentere mit land,” konkluderede hun. "Jeg vil gerne vise verden, at vi er de største. Team USA vil vinde toppen ved ungdomsverdenen. Min besked til U.S.A. boksefans er at blive ved med at se. Fremtiden for boksning er på vej ind!"

QUINCY, Masse. (November 10, 2022) – Tidligere New England weltervægtsmester Mike Ohan, Jr. (16-1, 9 KOS) forbereder sig på sin potentielle karriereskiftende kamp i december 10th mod 2020 US. Olympiske Tiger Johnson (6-0, 4 KOS) på den berømte Madison Square Garden i New York.

Johnson vs. Ohan, Jr. er en planlagt 8-runders weltervægtskamp på et Top Rank-kort, ledet af en Heisman Night-kamp med Teofimo Lopez mod Jose Pedraza, som vil blive streamet live på ESPN+.

Ohan, Jr. er ikke overdrevent bekymret for at bekæmpe en meget hyped udsigt, der promoveres af begivenhedspromotor Top Rank,, i boksningens mekka på en meget større udsigtsplatform.

"Jeg vil omfavne det,"Åh, Jr. "Jeg har kæmpet mod mange topfyre i amatørerne som Jamaine Ortiz, der netop kæmpede mod Vasiliy Lomachenko. Jeg føler, at jeg hører til på øverste niveau med dem, men de begyndte at konkurrere tidligere end mig i amatørerne. Jeg var 16-17 og havde meget at indhente.

"Det er, hvad alle de år, hvor jeg har arbejdet så hårdt, har været for. Det har været en drøm for mig selv som barn, før jeg begyndte at bokse. Det begynder at betale sig; Jeg er nødt til at eksekvere spilleplanen på kampaften."

"Jeg kunne ikke være stoltere af Mike og det, han har opnået indtil videre i boksning,"Ohans promotor, Granite Chin-præsident Chris Traietti kommenterede. "Han er en fantastisk fyr med god arbejdsmoral, og han har et væld af hjerte. Han sprang over denne mulighed, da den blev præsenteret. Det er derfor, fyre kæmper; for forhåbentlig at få en chance for at brillere ved en begivenhed som denne i Madison Square Garden. Mike kværnede og kværnede, nu har han sin velfortjente mulighed på stjernestatus."

Ohan, Jr. er søn af en pensioneret pro bokser, (14-6-2, 11 KOS), der fungerede som sparringspartner for den store Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

Den 24-årige Johnson, kæmper ud af Cleveland, var en højt dekoreret US. amatørbokser, der var medlem af 2020 .USA's Olympiske Boksehold. Han vandt 2 gange USA's nationale mesterskaber (2016 & 2017), samt guldvinder ved den 2016 AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships, og 2014 USA junior-OL nationale mesterskaber.

"Han er en fantastisk fighter,"Åh, Jr. talte om sin kommende modstander. "Alt hvad han gør, han er fremragende til, ikke bare godt. Jeg skal medbringe mit A-spil for at bevise, at jeg hører til. Alle de store har tilpasset sig situationen, og det er det, jeg skal gøre. Jeg har lagt alt blodet i, sved og tårer. Uanset hvad han kaster, Jeg vil være klar."

At kæmpe i Madison Square Garden er det ultimative mødested for Ohan, Jr. sammen med de fleste kæmpere. Nogle vil måske føle, at kortene er stablet mod Ohan, Jr., men han er tydeligvis ikke bekymret for alt det tumult, der er forbundet med at kæmpe på MSG på ESPN+ mod eventarrangørens højt udråbte bokser.

»Det bliver bare mig og ham i ringen,"Åh, Jr. indgået. “Madison Square Garden er et historisk sted. Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson ... alle de store har kæmpet der. Jeg elsker boksehistorie, og jeg er velsignet med at kæmpe der. Jeg bor tættere på New York City end ham, og jeg er sikker på, at folk vil komme ud for mig.

"I sidste ende, selv, alle vil vide, hvem jeg er. En imponerende præstation vil hæve min aktie, men jeg går i ringen for at vinde!"

Pennsylvania fjervægt Cornellio Phipps lever drømmen 2022 Ungdoms-VM november 14-26 i La Nucia, Spanien

Colorado Springs, Lap. (November 10, 2022) – Som talentfuld fjervægter Cornellio “Chada” forbereder Phipps sig til det kommende ungdoms-VM, han indrømmer at leve drømmen, og inden han bliver professionel om et par år, bokseplanen i olympisk stil for ham er medalje i 2024 OL i Paris.

Den 17-årige Phipps, der kæmper ud af Oxford, Pa., begyndte først at bokse for fire år siden efter råd fra sin far. Phipps spillede basketball og fodbold, men han følte ikke, at nogen af ​​dem var hans sande sted. Han blev faktisk forelsket i boksning, mens han så kampe, før han overhovedet boksede, da han var syv.   

"Jeg siger til folk, at de aldrig skal opgive deres drømme, at blive ved med at slå, og lad aldrig nogen tvivle på dig,sagde Phipps. "Det her føles godt (forberedelse til ungdomsverdenen). Jeg troede aldrig, at jeg ville komme til denne fase. Det har været hårdt, men sjovt. Jeg er på Team USA og repræsenterer mit land.

”Det starter på den store scene med, at jeg vinder medaljer ved ungdomsverdenen (November 14-26, i La Nucia, Spanien). At være på Team USA har gjort en stor forskel for mig. Jeg har lært at bokse mod forskellige bevægelser, forstå pointsystemet, og hvordan man vinder. Træning i Colorado Springs har hjulpet mig til at få succes og også have det sjovt at lære af mine nye trænere.”

Phipps (hovedbeklædning).jpg

Phipps har allerede smagt succes forud for Youth Worlds. Han har vundet guldmedaljer på 2022 USA Boxing National Qualifier, 2021 USA Boxing Youth National Championships, samt 2020 og 2019 Junior NM.

All-around boxer-puncher er den bedste måde at beskrive Phipps stil i ringen. Han kan slås, kasse, og bevæger sig godt rundt. »Jeg er mere en bokser end en slagsmåler,” bemærkede han. "Jeg kan kæmpe udenpå eller ligge på tovene. Jeg bevæger mig og viser vinkler, plus at jeg nemt kan skifte til southpaw (fra hans ortodokse holdning)."

Ligesom mange af hans unge USA Boxing-holdkammerater, Youth Worlds bliver den første internationale konkurrence i hans karriere. Disse mesterskaber er noget, han virkelig ser frem til af mange forskellige årsager.

"Jeg er spændt på at kæmpe på min første internationale konkurrence ved ungdomsverdenen i Spanien,” sluttede Phipps. "Jeg skulle kæmpe i en turnering i Bulgarien i 2020, men det blev aflyst på grund af COVID. Jeg vil vise mine evner ved Youth Worlds for at bevise, at jeg hører til på topniveau, og det er OL.”

Konkurrencen begynder i La Nucia, Spanien tirsdag, November. 15 og kan følges afved at klikke her.

VERONA, N.Y.. – June 10, 2022 - Undefeated heavyweight knockout artistBakhodir Jalolovtook his time on Friday night, but ultimately closed the show in dramatic fashion with an eighth-round knockout overJack Mulowayii de vigtigste tilfælde af enSHOBOX: Den nye generationtelecast at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y.. that helped kick off the International Boxing Hall of Fame Induction Weekend in nearby Canastota, N.Y..

Known as “Big Uzbek”, the 6-foot-7 Jalolov, a two-time Olympian and 2020 Gold Medalist from Uzbekistan, improved to a perfect 11-0 med 11 KOs when he landed a huge left hand that sent Mulowayi (11-3-1, 7 KOS) flat on his back in the eighth and final round.

“I’m feeling really good about the performance,” said the 27-year-old Jalolov. “The opponent was at a really good level and a great fighter. He was a really tough, durable guy. I landed some big shots on him and he can take a punch.”

In front of a who’s who of boxing royalty including the likes of Andre Ward, Shane Mosley, Antonio Tarver and Terence Crawford, Jalolov put an exclamation mark on an exciting night of boxing during an historic weekend of Hall of Fame inductions which will include the last three classes of inductees during Sunday’s ceremony.

Jalolov was dominant throughout the entire fight, with the only question being whether or not he would continue his knockout streak. It looked likely in both the third and fifth rounds, as Jalolov wobbled Mulowayi but the game Belgium showed heart in making it out of both rounds unscathed. In the sixth round, Mulowayi was dropped for just the second time in his career by a left cross as the bell sounded. He rose to his feet and beat the count, but was knocked down for good with yet another signature left hand at 1:20 af den sidste runde.

“I thought I was going to stop him at the end of the sixth round when I dropped him, but the referee let him continue and the round was over,” said Jalolov, who was deducted a point for holding in the fourth round. “I thought that was the time. But I had to wait until the final round. I’m happy that I got the stoppage. I feel like I hurt him three or four times.”

Jalolov went past the fifth round for the first time in his career, landing 47 percent of his power punches and out-landing Mulowayi 99-17 in total punches.

I co-main event, undefeated Dominican heavyweight prospectGeorge Arias(18-0, 7 KOS) won a tactical duel over previously unbeatenAlante Green(10-1-1, 7 KOS) via split-decision with scores of 78-74, 77-75 in favor of Arias and 77-75 for Green.

“I definitely learned more than anything from this fight so I give my performance a C-plus or a B-minus because this is the type of fight that makes me go back to the gym hungrier and knowing there’s a lot more to do,” said Arias, who now lives and trains out of the Bronx. “But we were blessed this time because should he have been a little bit stronger, things could have been more disastrous.”

Arias jumped out to a commanding lead in the first half of the fight, executing the game plan by outboxing Green and landing the cleaner, harder punches. Cleveland’s Green grew into the fight in the later rounds, but it was too little too late and Arias was able to do enough to hold off the late rally.

It was a difficult fight to score, as all three judges agreed on just two out of the eight rounds but the punch stats backed up the judges’ decision as Arias out-landed Green 81-58. Green became the 213th fighter to have his undefeated record spoiled onSHOBOX.

“Everyone who I face always trains for me a thousand percent better,” continued Arias. “He was real complete. He didn’t really necessarily have any weakness that I could exploit. The reaction time he had was really good and he had good inner footwork where it took me a little too long to get into a zone because every strategy I used he seemed to have a good reaction.”

I fjersynsudsendelse åbneren, undefeated lightweight prospectChann Thonson (11-0, 8 KOS) put on a boxing display, bruising, battering and eventually breaking down the previously undefeatedTyler Tomlin (13-1, 9 KOS) en route to a fifth-round TKO. Referee Mark Nelson stopped the action 1:01 i den runde.

“I knew if I stayed in the pocket with him that the shots I was going to give him would put him away,” said Canada’s Thonson, who is trained by former Olympic bronze medalist and light heavyweight contender Chris Johnson. “Surprisingly, he was a little tougher than I thought because when I hit him hard, he wasn’t taking a step back. So eventually I knew that would be his own demise and it was just a matter of time.”

Thonson, who was fighting for the fourth time in 2022, controlled the tempo and distance from the opening bell and looked like the more relaxed and experienced fighter. He used his jab and straight right hand to cause both swelling around Tomlin’s left eye and serious cause for concern in Tomlin’s corner. Prior to the start of the third round, Tomlin’s father and trainer Darryl urged his son to pick up the pace.

Men, it was Thonson who stepped on the gas even more. Late in the third round, Thonson landed a barrage of punches that hurt Tomlin and left his face a bloody mess. The sound of the bell temporarily saved Tomlin but his night would come to an end in the fifth round. Unable to avoid the constant punishment that Thonson was dishing out, the action was stopped after the ringside physician assessed Tomlin.

Samlet, Thonson landed 44 percent of his power punches and out-landed Tomlin 102-39 in total punches.

"Jeg har det fint, I feel like I was in the fight. I just got caught with two overhand rights and I’m pretty sure one of them either broke or fractured my nose,” said the 22-year-old Tomlin. “It was in the second or third round when I got caught. I felt and it threw off the game plan as far as what I was trying to do. I got a little more hesitant than I should have. I just can’t get hit by those overhand rights. SHOWTIME, that’s what they do, they put good fighters against good fighters. I felt like I was going to come out on top but we have to go back and watch film and see what comes next.”
