Kay Dihadiha nga Release

Baltimore, MD (Mayo 27, 2015) – Jake Smith, CEO of Baltimore Boxing Promotions, and his family recently met with Baltimore City Police officials.

Smith, a longtime promoter in the Charm City and former professional boxer, was personally impacted by the riots as his gym was temporarily shut down. Having spent his entire life in and around Baltimore, Smith called the riots the worst thing he’s ever seen and feared for the safety of those that had neighboring businesses. Within a few days, order was restored due to an outstanding effort by the Baltimore PD.

During the visit, which included time with Chief of Staff Ganesha Martin and Commissioner Anthony Batts, Smith personally thanked them for their heroic efforts. He also donated tickets for his Mayo 29 “Blood, Sweat & Tears” fight card at Michael’s Eighth Avenue to the department and will honor them during the evening.

“The police are unsung heroes in almost every community,"Miingon Smith. “It’s unfortunate that certain isolated incidents have many people feeling like law enforcement is bad. We all must remember the good that they’ve done in keeping us safe. They risk their lives to keep crime, drugs and guns off the streets. It’s also important for people in Baltimore to remember how scary it was living here during the riots. The men and women of the police department literally had to face violent protesters while significantly outnumbered. For all that they did to restore the city I love, the absolute least I can do is donate tickets and honor them on fight night. I believe that we all owe them a big thank you for protecting us.”

Tickets for “Blood, Sweat & Tears” can be purchased by calling 410-375-9175 o adto sa Baltimoreboxing.com. Tagsa-tagsa nga tiket magsugod sa $25 ug VIP papan sa 10 anaa alang sa $500. Ang tanan nga mga VIP ticketholders makatagamtam sa libre nga hors d'oeurves gikan sa 7-8 pm, the best seats in the house and a special meet and greet with five time world champion Vinny Paz.

In addition to honoring the policemen and women, Baltimore Boxing is proudly teaming up with Unified Efforts. Since their founding in 2012 by former Baltimore detective Debbie Ramsey, Unified Efforts is a full-service bullying prevention organization that has helped raise awareness throughout theCharm City. To assist with the program,

Baltimore Boxing will donate tickets and proceeds from a 50/50 raffle on fight night.

Here is what Khan and Algieri had to say about training camp, each other and more:

 

AMIR KHAN

 

“Algieri is a fighter that has a lot of skills and assets. His range and height give him good advantages against opponents but I believe with my speed, movement and style it will be too much for him.

 

“Each day me and Virgil Hunter are getting stronger and we have built a really good rapport. It takes time to get that but he understands my style even more now and what works for me so we’re only going to keep growing.

 

“My aim since I was a kid and got into this sport was to be the very best. I fulfilled a dream when I got to the Olympics at 17 and brought back a silver medal. Later I became a world champion and then unified the light-welterweight division. My goal now is to fight the very best at 147 pounds and make my mark on this division too.

 

“I was away in training camp when my daughter turned one last week. It’s hard to be away from her but as a fighter those are the sacrifices you have to make. Everything I do is for her and I can’t wait to see her and spend time with her after this fight. Her birthday celebrations have been put on hold until after the fight!

 

“I’m really looking forward to returning to New York and fighting at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. I have good memories of this city because it’s the place where I had my first fight on US soil against Paulie Malignaggi in 2010 and also where I got married. I’m out to make it another good time this weekend.”

 

 

CHRIS Algieri

“I know that it gets said all the time, but this was truly the best and most intense training camp of my life. Working with John David Jackson has truly been a blessing. He has brought out the best Chris Algieri there is. You are going to see a whole new fighter come Biyernes sa gabii.

 

“I am excited to be back in New York and excited to show the world what I am really made of sa Biyernes sa gabii. We are just a few days away from the fight and I am so anxious to get in there and get to work.

 

“Amir is a tough fighter there is no doubt about that, but I am very confident in my ability and the game plan that coach has come up with for me.

 

“You are going to see two proven champions in a high intensity and high level fight, laying everything on the line come Biyernes gabii.”

TUREANO JOHNSON PROVIDING GREAT SPARRING FOR DANIEL GEALE

Leave sa usa ka comment

 

New Jersey (Mayo 26, 2015) – Gary Shaw Productions middleweight contender, Tureano Johnson (18-1, 13 KOs), is now the chief sparring partner for Daniel Geale (31-3, 16 KOs) as he prepares him for his upcoming WBC title clash with Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KOs). Johnson, who captured the WBA International and WBC Silver middleweight titles in his last bout, is currently ranked WBC #2, WBA #5, IBF #8 and WBO #13. He gives his thought on sparring with Geale.

 

“Daniel Geale is a special fighter who possesses a lot of boxing skills,” said Tuerano Johnson. “He’s looking real sharp in the gym and his power is there. I can feel the snap on his punches and I think Miguel Cotto is in for a big surprise. Everyone is counting Geale out but not me. Gary Shaw brought me in to test Geale’s skills and after a few days of sparring, I believe Daniel will be crowned champion.”

 

“I brought Tureano to the gym to spar with Geale because he’s a good look to emulate Cotto and he’s one of the top fighters in the middleweight division,” Gary Shaw said. “The feedback I got from Johnson about sparring Geale is very positive. I’m confident that Daniel will use everything in his playbook to come out victorious.”

 

Tureano Johnson is currently riding a 4-fight winning streak, three of which came by stoppage. Highly ranked across the board of all sanctioning organizations, Johnson is on the cusp of landing a big fight.

I can hear the ‘I told you so,’ from heaven.”

Mapasigarbuhong gipahibalo ni Tony Grygelko sa Secondne Out Promotions nga nakabase sa Minneapolis ang pagpirma sa lisud nga pagsuntok sa kanhi nagdudula sa titulo sa kalibutan nga si Marcus Oliveira sa usa ka kontrata nga pang-promosyon.

 

Gikan sa Menominee, Wisconsin, ug sa Menominee Nation, lumad, panulondon, 36-tuig ang edad nga Oliveira (25-1-1, 20 KOs) usa usab ka kanhing NABF ug WBA Fedebol Light Heavyweight Champion.

Ang kasabutan sa pang-promosyon usa ka panaghiusa nga lahi, ingon nga si Grygelko mao ang tigpasiugda ni Oliveira alang sa kadaghanan sa iyang sayo nga propesyonal nga karera.

 

“Gipasiugda nako kaniadto si Marcus, sa wala pa siya mopirma kauban si Don King, ug tinuud nga usa ka kadungganan nga mahimo usab nga mapalambo siya ug matabangan siya nga posisyon alang sa usa pa nga shot sa titulo sa kalibutan,” Miingon si Tony Grygelko. “Ingon og sa kaniadto nga nagpasiugda dili aktibo nga nangita away, ug ang iyang kapildihan kay Jurgen Brähmer, nga si Marcus gisulat na, apan ang tinuod siya nakapunting ug adunay usa ka nagdilaab nga pangandoy nga ipakita sa tanan niya nga mga fans nga siya adunay talento aron modaug usa ka World Championship! Naglaraw siya nga wagtangon ang pipila nga singsing nga kinutuban sa usa ka away sa magtiayon ug unya pangitaon niya nga sundan ang pila ka mga bantog nga ngalan sa dibisyon, sama ni Andrezj Fonfara, Madaniyah Kovalev, Bernard Hopkins, ug usa ka rematch uban si Brähmer.”

 

Oliveira, nga usa ka bantog nga gidayandayanan nga boksidor sa wala’y bag-o 2006, Miingon siya nga gibati niya nga ang iyang karera nahunong sa usa ka kasabutan nga gipirmahan niya uban ang laing tigpasiugda. Giingon niya nga malipayon siya karon nga wala na sa kontrata ug pagbalik sa pagtrabaho kauban ang usa nga gisaligan niya.

 

“Nagpangita ako usa ka tawo nga mahimong makakuha kanako sa sunod nga ang-ang sa akong karera ug nahimo na ni Tony sa daghang mga lalaki, busa kini usa ka dali nga paghukum,” ni Oliveira. “Kanunay siya nga straight-up sa akon ug maayo ang pagtratar sa akon. Grabe akong relasyon sa iya. Malipayon kaayo ako bahin niining bag-ong direksyon.”

 

“Nalipay kaayo kami nga makabalik sa pagtrabaho kauban si Tony,” miingon ang Manager ni Oliveira, Douglas Ward gikan sa Underground Boxing Company. “Maayo nga magtrabaho kauban ang usa ka tigpasiugda nga adunay parehas nga mga katuyoan.”

 

Gisalmutan ni Oliveira ang usa ka stable nga Seconds Out nga kauban usab si Carson Jones ug ang bag-o nga nagdudula sa titulo nga si Caleb Truax.
