Mayweather-Pacquiao Undercard Update: Sid El Harrak eagerly awaiting Pearson Showdown!

Los Angeles, COME (Aprile 22, 2015) – In less than two weeks, Sid El Harrak will have the chance to change his life and boxing career when he faces undefeated Chris Pearson as part of the historic Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao card at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

 

To prepare for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, El Harrak’s dedicated all of his time to various aspects of training. From cardio to strength and conditioning, sharpening his skills in the gym and intense sparring sessions, the California based Londoner is covering everything imaginable. Più importante, he believes the grueling training sessions he’s gone through at both Wild Card Boxing Gym locations is already paying off.

 

“It’s very important to have an ample amount of time to train for a fight and that’s not something I’ve had my whole career,"Ha detto El Harrak, che è 12-2-2 con 7 vittorie per KO. "Mentalmente, io sento 100 percent ready to go out there and shine in the biggest fight of my life. I’m still working hard to balance everything out so the world sees the best Sid El Harrak Sabato prossimo."

“I have a lot of pride and knowing that I’m coming into this fight as the B-side pushes me that much more. I love the fact that Pearson’s supposed to be “the guy” in this fight. If I fought who he did, I’d be undefeated. Contemporaneamente, had he faced the opponents I did under the same circumstances, he’d have a few losses. Ad essere onesti, I’m sick of thinking about him. This is the most eager I’ve been for a fight in my career and I can’t wait to show everybody what I can do on May 2nd!"

 

The El Harrak-Pearson ten round junior middleweight bout will be televised on various networks throughout the world.

 

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

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

Despite taking the fight on three days’ Avviso, 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. Sfortunatamente, the European judges saw it another way, scoring it 114-112 (Jean Legland, A PARTIRE DAL), 115-112 (Dave Parris, Regno Unito) e 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’ Avviso, 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’ promotore, Greg Cohen Promozioni 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 il Sabato,” ha detto 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 Giugno 26 at the Seneca Niagara Event Center in Niagara Falls, New York, and live on CBS Sports Network.

I’m a bit discouraged from the politics,” ha continuato 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!”

Il leggendario arbitro Mickey Vann officerà l'evento inaugurale scozzese dell'MBC questo sabato

Il leggendario arbitro del campionato di trotto mondiale Mickey Vann farà uno dei suoi viaggi internazionali più brevi da molto tempo, il prossimo fine settimana, quando dirige la prima Commissione di boxe di Malta (MBC) evento sanzionato in Scozia, lo Stewart Allan ha promosso l'evento sabato alla palestra Rivals di Wishaw 25th Aprile 2015.

 

acqua, che è stato l'arbitro capo dell'MBC da allora 2013, officia da quasi quarant'anni, il primo incontro che ha arbitrato è stato Eddie Smith contro Joe Jackson all'Anglo American Sporting Club di Manchester sul 11thOttobre 1976.

 

Sarebbero passati circa sette anni prima che Vann arbitrasse il suo primo incontro di campionato nazionale, la lotta per il titolo BBBofC Central Area Featherweight tra Steve Pollard e Steve Farnsworth al Tiffany's Nightclub di Hull sul 29th Marzo 1983.

 

Tre anni dopo Vann ha arbitrato la sua prima gara di campionato internazionale, la lotta per il titolo dei pesi leggeri del Commonwealth tra Langton Tinago dello Zimbabwe e Graeme Brooke dell'Australia ai Granada Studios di Manchester il 23rd Agosto 1986.

 

Con numerosi inglesi, Concorsi del Commonwealth e del titolo europeo al suo attivo sul 8th Giugno 1990 Vann ha arbitrato il suo primo incontro nel campionato del mondo, la lotta per il titolo WBC World Minimumweight tra il giapponese Hideyuki Ohashi e il thailandese Napa Kiatwanchai a Tokyo, Giappone.

 

Ad oggi Vann ha arbitrato centoquarantatre Internazionali, Concorsi inter-continentali e per il titolo mondiale per le organizzazioni sanzionatorie mondiali, come WBC, WBO, IBF, WBU ecc. Oltre a un numero ancora maggiore di europei, Repubblica, Combattimenti per il titolo nazionale britannico e irlandese durante la sua carriera fino ad oggi ottocentottantadue.

 

Il più recente di questi periodi è stato il WBO Inter-Continental Cruiserweight title fight tra l'ucraino Oleksandr Usyk e il russo Andry Knyazev, che ha avuto luogo a Kiev lo scorso fine settimana.

 

Da allora Vann ha anche giudicato centosettantatre concorsi di campionato 1978, portando la sua carriera da arbitro a un incredibile millecinquantacinque concorsi, mi dispiace fare quel millecinquantasei concorsi se includiamo il prossimo evento di questo fine settimana.

 

Poco dopo il ritorno da Kiev, l'effervescente Vann ha parlato brevemente della sua carriera e del prossimo evento che deve officiare in Scozia il Sabato.

 

"Cosa posso dire? Non mi ero reso conto di aver arbitrato così tanti combattimenti,

 

La mia battaglia più memorabile sarebbe stata naturalmente Lennox Lewis e Frank Bruno al Cardiff Arms Park, quella era storia.

 

Ma hanno arbitrato così tanti combattimenti memorabili, da dove comincio, Shea Neary e Mickey Ward, ora quella è stata una grande lotta.

 

Ce ne sono alcuni di anni fa che posso ricordare, come Jean-Marc Renard contro Farid Benredjeb, oh che guerra era quella, entrambi sono finiti in ospedale.

 

Un altro incontro memorabile è stato Cassius Boloyi contro Phillip Ndou, È stata una guerra, una guerra assoluta

 

Erano due sudafricani ma di tribù diverse, volevano che lo arbitrassi, non un sudafricano, che è stato molto apprezzato.

 

Ricordo di aver arbitrato la lotta per il titolo dei pesi leggeri obbligatoria WBC, tra Leavander Johnson e Miguel Angel Gonzalez, in un'arena, che è stata un'esperienza.

 

Ho arbitrato in America Jorge Paez e Angel Manfredy, è stata una lotta formidabile, infatti ha arbitrato tre o quattro volte in America.

 

Penso che se li conti tutti penso di aver arbitrato in trentanove paesi diversi, Ho lasciato la scuola a sette anni, sono tornato a tredici e sono ripartito a quattordici e allora non sapevo che ci fossero così tanti paesi nel mondo. Io non, onestamente.

 

Mi piace solo quello che faccio, sai che sono stato in Russia, Argentina, Giappone, ovunque, Sono appena tornato da Kiev.

 

La gente viene per le fotografie, anche a Kiev, con Mickey il ballerino e poi fanno finta di muoverti, è amorevole.

 

Non scelgo niente in realtà, Scelgo solo quali sono state le grandi lotte che mi sono piaciute.

 

Mi sono qualificato come arbitro di prima qualità in 1978 e sto ancora andando, A quel punto avevo già fatto centinaia di combattimenti, non è davvero un lavoro, è solo divertimento in quanto tale.

 

Non ero un bravo combattente professionista, Ero un buon dilettante, Ho avuto sessantasei combattimenti come dilettante e ne ho persi diciannove, ma avevi tre incontri al giorno nei campionati, hai combattuto la mattina, hai vinto che hai combattuto nel pomeriggio e se hai vinto che hai combattuto di notte per passare al turno successivo, nei campionati dell'esercito e nei club per ragazzi, questo è quello che abbiamo fatto tutti.

 

Come professionista ho quattordici incontri ma ne ho persi nove, ma mi sono divertito, Sono contento di essere diventato professionista e sono contento di aver combattuto, Sono contento di aver combattuto dilettanti e professionisti e mi è mancato quando mi sono ritirato e volevo fare qualcosa e il mio manager mi ha suggerito di arbitrare, Volevo allenare ma Tommy Miller, il mio manager mi ha detto "Gesù Mick cosa potresti insegnare a qualcuno", così mi ha detto che vuoi fare l'arbitro, così ci ho messo dentro e mi ci sono voluti due anni per qualificarmi.

 

Mi sono divertito ogni minuto e alcune volte sono stato migliore di altre, infatti mi odiavano in Scozia, pensavano che odiassi gli scozzesi. L'ho sentito molte volte alla radio.

 

Alex Morrison te lo dirà, pensava che odiassi gli scozzesi, Non ero, solo che non sembravano mai ottenere il verdetto da me, quindi è abbastanza ironico che questo Sabato sono il promotore scozzese e i pugili scozzesi che mi hanno chiesto per questo spettacolo.

 

Mi sono sempre divertito molto lì e il mio combattente preferito di tutti i tempi è uno scozzese, Ken Buchanan, quindi è davvero bello che mi vogliano essere lì per il primo evento autorizzato dall'MBC, Non vedo l'ora. "

 

Mickey Vann sarà l'arbitro sia per Sandy Robb contro Mathew Ellis che per Scott Allan contro Isaac Quaye che è co-headliner dello Stewart Allan (Rivals Promozioni) evento presso la palestra Rivals di Wishaw, Scozia il Sabato 25th Aprile 2015.

 

I biglietti al prezzo di £ 30 e £ 40 sono disponibili direttamente da uno dei pugili partecipanti, o chiamare Stewart 07711 725257.

I outboxed the guy,” ha detto Thompson. I focused on what I needed to focus on and that was using my jab. I also focused on not to exchange and bang with him and I did a pretty good job of that.

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 2nd Maggio 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 2nd 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, mag 2nd you’ll not be disappointed, I will be fighting at my best.”

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.

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 Giugno 6. Stai andando a vedere una grande lotta. Miguel Cotto is a great fighter. Daniel understands that and we have a great deal of respect for him, ma Giugno 6on HBO at Barclays Center, it will be a whole new night. It will be a night when Daniel Geale takes the belt back to Australia.”
