Canada’s Tony Luis Disappointed in Scoring of Controversial Loss, but Vows to Keep Fighting for his Goals!

Canadian lightweight Tony “Lightning” Luis (19-3, 7 Kos) says he’s disappointed with the scoring of his controversial unanimous-decision loss last weekend to Derry Mathews (38-9-2, 20 Kos) for the interim WBA Lightweight title in Matthewshometown of Liverpool, Sasana, but won’t let it deter him from his goals.

Despite taking the fight on three days’ Fógra, Luis seemed to outwork Matthews in most rounds and would probably be wearing a championship belt today, had the fight been contested on neutral ground. Ar an drochuair, the European judges saw it another way, scoring it 114-112 (Jean Legland, FRA), 115-112 (Dave Parris, An Ríocht Aontaithe) agus 114-112 (Stefano Carozza, ITA), all for Matthews.

I can’t say I feel good,” said Luis, home safely in Cornwall, Ontario. “This was my shot and I didn’t get the decision, but I know with my performance, I’ll get another one. Most of the press and the fans, especially in North America, know what’s up and saw the fight for what it really was. Derry did what he had to do to survive but not enough to win. He was cagey and made the fight look more competitive than it was, and that’s what a veteran is supposed to do.

Despite his disappointment in the scoring, Luis says taking the fight was still a good career choice. “It was absolutely the right decision. You don’t turn down a title shot. But taking it on three days’ Fógra, we knew we’d have to shake off the jetlag quickly. My game plan was good, but on such short notice, it wasn’t muscle memory. I had to keep thinking about it in the ring. That’s why I think it took me three rounds to get going. Despite all this, I still won the fight. Now I know I belong among the champions in this division and that’s a good feeling.

Luis’ tionscnóir, Greg Cohen na Céime Greg Cohen, says he’s pleased with his fighter’s strong performance and will immediately go to work for the 27-year-old.

Tony looked sensational ar an Satharn,” Dúirt Cohen. “Taking the fight on such short notice, you’d think fatigue would play a role, but he was a machine in there. That shows you how hard he works in the gym. Of course we’re disappointed in the scoring, but looking at the big picture, we now know we have a championship-caliber fighter in Tony. He responded perfectly to the pressure of a world championship fight. I will be petitioning the sanctioning bodies to keep Tony high up in the ratings and give him another title shot very soon. This time on neutral ground.

Luis will be returning to action quickly, he is set to fight for a regional title against an opponent TBA on Meitheamh 26 at the Seneca Niagara Event Center in Niagara Falls, Nua-Eabhrac, and live on CBS Sports Network.

I’m a bit discouraged from the politics,” Lean Luis, “but am I deterred from my goals? Absolutely not. The people have spoken, the fans know who won and that is consolation for me. I will keep moving forward!”

An Réiteoir Finscéalach Mickey Vann Chun Imeacht Tionscnaimh na hAlban MBC a eagrú Dé Sathairn seo chugainn

Beidh réiteoir Craobh na Trotting Cruinne legendary Mickey Vann ag déanamh ceann de na turais idirnáisiúnta is giorra aige i gceann tamaill fhada, an deireadh seachtaine seo chugainn, nuair a rialaíonn sé an chéad Choimisiún Dornálaíochta i Málta (MBC) imeacht ceadaithe in Albain, chuir an ócáid ​​Stewart Allan chun cinn sa Rivals Gym i Wishaw Dé Sathairn 25ú Aibreán 2015.

 

Uisce, who has been the MBC’s chief referee since 2013, has been officiating for close to forty years, the first bout he refereed was Eddie Smith versus Joe Jackson at the Anglo American Sporting Club in Manchester on the 11úDeireadh Fómhair 1976.

 

It would be some seven years later before Vann refereed his first domestic Championship bout, the BBBofC Central Area Featherweight Title fight between Steve Pollard and Steve Farnsworth at the Tiffany’s Nightclub in Hull on the 29ú Márta 1983.

 

Three years later Vann refereed his first International Championship contest, the Commonwealth Lightweight Title fight between Zimbabwe’s Langton Tinago and Australia’s Graeme Brooke at the Granada Studios in Manchester on 23rd Lúnasa 1986.

 

With numerous British, Commonwealth and European title contests under his belt on the 8ú Meitheamh 1990 Rinne Vann breithiúnas ar a chéad chorn Craobh an Domhain, troid teidil Íosta Meáchan Domhanda WBC idir Hideyuki Ohashi na Seapáine agus Napa Kiatwanchai na Téalainne i dTóiceo, An tSeapáin.

 

Go dtí seo tá Vann tar éis céad daichead a trí Idirnáisiúnta a mheas, Comórtais teidil Idir-Ilchríochacha agus Domhanda do na hEagraíochtaí Ceadaithe Domhanda, mar WBC, WBO, IBF, WBU srl chomh maith le líon níos airde fós Eorpach, Chomhlathais, Troidann teideal baile na Breataine agus na hÉireann le linn a shlí bheatha ocht gcéad ochtó a dó go dtí seo.

 

Is é an ceann is déanaí de na babhtaí seo ná troid teidil Cruiserweight Idir-Ilchríochach WBO idir Oleksandr Usyk na hÚcráine agus Andry Knyazev na Rúise, a bhí ar siúl i Kiev díreach an deireadh seachtaine seo caite.

 

Ina theannta sin tá Vann tar éis céad seachtó a trí chomórtas Craobh a mheas ó shin 1978, ag tabhairt iomlán a ghairme feidhmiúcháin go míle dochreidte caoga a cúig comórtas, is oth linn an comórtas míle caoga sé sin a dhéanamh má chuirimid an ócáid ​​atá le teacht an deireadh seachtaine seo san áireamh.

 

Go gairid tar éis filleadh ó Kiev, Labhair an t-eifidrín Vann go hachomair faoina shlí bheatha agus faoin imeacht atá le teacht in Albain ar an Satharn.

 

“Cad is féidir liom a rá nár thuig mé gur mheas mé go raibh go leor troideanna ann,

 

Is é an troid is mó a dhéanfainn i gcuimhne dom go nádúrtha ná Lennox Lewis agus Frank Bruno i bPáirc Airm Caerdydd, ba é sin an stair.

 

Ach rinne siad tagairt don oiread sin troideanna i gcuimhne, cá dtosaím, Shea Neary agus Mickey Ward, anois ba troid iontach é sin.

 

Is cuimhin liom roinnt blianta ó shin, cosúil le Jean-Marc Renard i gcoinne Farid Benredjeb, OH cén cogadh a bhí ann, chríochnaigh an bheirt acu san ospidéal.

 

Another memorable fight was Cassius Boloyi against Phillip Ndou, It was a war, an cogadh iomlán

 

They were two South Africans but from different tribes, they wanted me to referee it, not a South African, which was very much appreciated.

 

I remember refereeing the WBC mandatory Lightweight title fight, between Leavander Johnson and Miguel Angel Gonzalez, in a bullring, which was an experience.

 

I refereed in America Jorge Paez and Angel Manfredy, that was a terrific fight, in fact refereed three or four times in America.

 

I think if you count them all I think I refereed in thirty nine different countries, I left school at seven and went back at thirteen and left again at fourteen and I didn’t know at that time that there were that many countries in the world. Ní raibh mé, go hionraic.

 

I just enjoy what I do, tá a fhios agat go raibh mé sa Rúis, An Airgintín, An tSeapáin, ar fud, Fuair ​​mé ar ais ó Kiev.

 

Tagann daoine suas le haghaidh grianghraf, fiú amháin i Kiev, le Mickey an rinceoir agus ansin ligeann siad orthu go bhfuil tú ag bogadh thart, tá sé go hálainn.

 

Piocaim rud ar bith i ndáiríre, Ní roghnaíonn mé ach na troideanna móra a thaitin liom.

 

Cháiligh mé mar réiteoir grád réalta i 1978 agus táim fós ag dul, Tá na céadta troideanna déanta agam faoin am sin, ní post é i ndáiríre, is taitneamh mar sin é.

 

Ní trodaire proifisiúnta an-mhaith mé, Amaitéarach maith a bhí ionam, Bhí seasca sé troid agam mar amaitéarach agus chaill mé naoi gcinn déag, ach bhíodh trí throid in aghaidh an lae agat sna Craobhchomórtais, throid tú ar maidin, bhuaigh tú gur throid tú tráthnóna agus má bhuaigh tú gur throid tú san oíche chun dul tríd go dtí an chéad bhabhta eile, i gCraobh an Airm agus sna clubanna buachaillí saghas ruda, sin a rinneamar go léir.

 

Mar pro tá ceithre throid dhéag agam ach chaill mé naoi gcinn, ach bhain mé taitneamh as, Tá áthas orm gur chas mé pro agus tá áthas orm gur throid mé, Tá áthas orm gur throid mé amaitéarach agus proifisiúnta agus chaill mé é nuair a chuaigh mé ar scor agus theastaigh uaim rud éigin a dhéanamh agus mhol mo bhainisteoir go réiteodh mé, Bhí mé ag iarraidh traenáil ach Tommy Miller, dúirt mo bhainisteoir liom ‘Jesus Mick cad a d’fhéadfá a mhúineadh d’éinne’, mar sin dúirt sé liom gur mhaith leat a bheith i do réiteoir, mar sin chuir mé isteach air agus thóg sé dhá bhliain orm agus cháiligh mé.

 

Bainim taitneamh as gach nóiméad de agus bhí roinnt uaireanta níos fearr ná a chéile, i ndáiríre ba ghnách leo fuath a thabhairt dom in Albain, cheap siad gur fuath liom na hAlban. Chuala mé é seo ar an raidió go minic.

 

Inseoidh Alex Morrison duit, cheap sé go raibh fuath agam d’Albanaigh, Ní raibh mé, ach ní raibh an chuma orthu riamh go bhfaigheadh ​​siad an fíorasc uaim, mar sin tá sé íorónach go leor Dé Sathairn is é tionscnóir na hAlban agus dornálaithe na hAlban a d’iarr an seó seo orm.

 

Bhí an-spraoi agam i gcónaí ansin agus is Albanach an trodaire is fearr liom riamh, Ken Buchanan, mar sin is deas an rud é go dteastaíonn uathu go mbeinn ann don chéad imeacht ceadaithe ag MBC ansin, Ní féidir liom fanacht. "

 

Beidh Mickey Vann mar mholtóir do Sandy Robb i gcoinne Mathew Ellis agus Scott Allan i gcoinne Isaac Quaye a bheidh i gceannas ar an Stewart Allan (Iomaitheoirí Arduithe Céime) imeacht ag an Rivals Gym i Wishaw, Albain ar an Satharn 25ú Aibreán 2015.

Turkish Prospect Ozgul Set For London Showdown With Miekle On May 2nd

 

Champions TKO Gym’s unbeaten Light Heavyweight prospect Onder Ozgul is set to make his fifth professional outing in just over a weeks time, when he takes on the highly entertaining Jody Meikle, from Scunthorpe, in a six round contest, on the Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott Wise Guys Promotions LORDS OF THE RING event at York Hall in London on Saturday 2ú Bealtaine 2015.

Ozgul, has built quite a reputation, as a seriously tough and uncompromising boxer, over the past year or so, following top class victories over the likes of Lithuania’s Dmitrij Kalinovskij, Bighton’s Iain Jackson, Lithuania’s Remigijus Ziausys and most recently over the Czech Republic’s big punching Karel Horejsek.

With a boxing style and approach uncannily similar to that of a certain ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that Ozgul’s Turkish fans have nicknamed their man ‘Little Mike’, a name that the British fans that have seen him in action have started to adopt too.

That aside, Ozgul’s resolve could be mightily tested by Miekle, who last time out scored a good solid draw against Portsmouth bruiser Sam Couzens, no surprise there as the Lincolnshire man not only likes a good old fashioned toe-to-toe slug fest, but also has a very entertaining mischievous streak.

Speaking at the famed Champions TKO Gym in Hackney, Ozgul spoke briefly about the upcoming showdown with the man they call ‘The Entertainer’.

“I’m happy I am fighting a six rounder, I’d be happy if it was an eight, I train for twelve rounds, so six is easy for me.

 

The way we look at it is if you can run a marathon, then running a half marathon is easy, that’s why we work so hard in the gym, so it is easy in the ring.

 

My last fight I trained hard, I trained for twelve rounds then too, the opponent was strong and durable but it was still an easy fight for me.

 

It will be the same next week, I will be ready for whatever Jody Meikle brings, I’ve been told Jody is tough, good that means we’ll have a very good fight.

 

I’m really happy that my brother Siar has got a title fight on May 2ú and even happier that I will be fighting on the undercard of his title fight and hope that everyone comes out and gives us both their full support.

 

I want to thank my sponsors and all those fans that come and support me and my brother (Super Welterweight Siar Ozgul), Thank you for supporting us, Bealtaine 2ú you’ll not be disappointed, I will be fighting at my best.”

 

Onder Ozgul versus Jody Meikle features on the undercard of Siar Ozgul – Matt Scriven MBC International Welterweight title fight that headlines the Mark Lyons & Billy James-Elliott Wise Guys Arduithe Céime dTiarnaí AN imeacht RING, a bhíonn ar siúl ag an Eabhrac Halla i Bethnal Green, Londain ar an Satharn 2úBealtaine 2015.

ARNA THÍOLACADH AG ROC NATION SPÓIRT + MIGUEL COTTO PROMOTIONS

Sleachta COMHDHÁIL PREAS, Grianghraif & VIDEO

Ar an Déardaoin, Aibreán 16, Roc Nation Sports and Miguel Cotto Promotions hosted a press conference at The 40/40 Club in Manhattan to announce the next highly anticipated battle for Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KO s), the reigning WBC Middleweight and Ring Magazine World Champion and the first native of Puerto Rico to become world champion in four different weight classes. Ar Meitheamh 6, 2015, Cotto will defend his titles against former Two-Time World Champion Daniel Geale (31-3, 16 KO s) of Australia in a fight that will be televised live on HBO from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

 

Here’s what the participants had to say…

 

Miguel Cotto: “All I have to say is I’ve been here for the past two days and I’m eager to get back to Los Angeles and get into another training session and get back to New York on June 6. All I have to worry about is my mindset during the fight. I know Daniel is a great fighter and I’m going to do my best as always to bring a good and exciting fight to all the fans. See you all on June 6.”

 

Daniel Geale: “I’m as excited as you can ever imagine. This is a great moment for me. Agus teacht Meitheamh 6, it’s going to be a hell of a fight and I can’t wait to walk away with the titles.”

 

Michael Yormark, Uachtarán & Chief of Branding and Strategy of Roc Nation: “Today is a historic day for Roc Nation and our boxing division. Muhammed Ali once said ‘he who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.’ At Roc Nation, we decided to launch our boxing division in August of 2014. We knew we were taking a risk. We knew that we were entering a sport that was established with a long history in a deep-rooted culture. It took courage, but frankly Roc Nation is nothing if not courageous…we’re committed to promoting the biggest fights and the biggest fighters. Now just a few short months later, we stand here with one of the best fighters in the world, announcing a world championship bout inside the new mecca of boxing, Barclays Center, and broadcast on the standard bearer for live boxing telecasts, HBO. It took courage and risk to get here but this is a proud moment for all of us.”

 

Hector Soto, Promotions Miguel Cotto: “Miguel Cotto is back and he’s in his second home in New York. As everyone knows, it’s been a tradition for the past couple of years that Miguel fights on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day Parade, so it’s an honor to fight during that time again. Ar Meitheamh 6, Miguel Cotto will defend his Middleweight WBC Championship against a tough opponent, Daniel Geale. Have no doubt, it will be a great fight at Barclays Center and everyone will enjoy the fight especially the Puerto Ricans. Miguel Cotto will be ready, will train as hard as always and be ready for the challenge Daniel Geale brings.”

 

Gary Shaw, Gary Shaw Productions: “If you look at Daniel’s fight against Sturm, when we went to Germany and lifted the belt and became the world champion, that’s the Daniel Geale you’re going to see on Meitheamh 6. You’re going to see a great fight. Miguel Cotto is a great fighter. Daniel understands that and we have a great deal of respect for him, ach ar Meitheamh 6on HBO at Barclays Center, it will be a whole new night.
