Philadelphia (Aprile 20, 2015)— Lo scorso Sabato notte, Gli appassionati di boxe hanno assistito a un incontro classico che ha visto Lucas Matthysse cercare una decisione a maggioranza stretta Ruslan Provodnikov in un 12 round-scontro welter junior di fronte a una folla esaurita al Turning Stone Resort Casino di Verona, New York.
L'incontro, che è stato trasmesso dalla HBO Boxing After Dark, è già saltato all'inizio dell'elenco per 2015 Fight of the Year.
Gran parte del discorso post-combattimento è stato incentrato sul coraggio di Provodnikov, mentre combatteva undici dei dodici round con un occhio sinistro gravemente tagliato a causa di un colpo di testa accidentale. Con il sangue che gli scorreva sul lato sinistro del viso, e il suo occhio che si chiude, Provodnikov ha combattuto eroicamente per tornare e ha ferito Matthysse più volte durante l'incontro, e nell'undicesimo round ha atterrato un gancio sinistro che ha quasi mandato Matthysse alla tela.
Molti a bordo ring, compreso The Bleacher Report, Harold Lederman della HBO, Steve Kim di UCNlive.com, & E Rafael di ESPN.com, ha segnato l'incontro anche a 114-114.
“Non potrei essere più orgoglioso di Ruslan, ha detto Banner Promozioni Promozioni Artie Pelullo.
“Sabato la notte ha dimostrato di essere il combattente più duro e avvincente della boxe. Sabato di la lotta ha anche consolidato il fatto che Ruslan è il combattente più televisivo dello sport senza dubbio, e ci saranno molte altre grandi lotte per Ruslan nel prossimo futuro.”

147-POUND WEIGHT CLASS TAKES CENTER STAGE AGAIN ON SATURDAY, MAGGIO 2 AT THE MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
In Another Classic Showdown

In The Welterweight Division

LAS VEGAS (Aprile 20, 2015) — It has often been said that “as the heavyweight division goes, so goes boxing,” but that has not always been the case and, infatti, might not even be valid when viewed from a comprehensive perspective dating back to the late 19th secolo. In Boxe, German author Bertram Job’s epic, 420-page coffee-table dissertation on all aspects of the sweet science, he writes that, “Elegance is the trademark of the slim and nimble stars in the under 147-pound weight class that has attracted insiders and admirers of beauty like no other.”

 

And so it is with what will be another benchmark entry in the rich history of the division when, suMaggio 2 al MGM Grand di Las Vegas, in diretta su pay-per-view, welter campione Floyd “Soldi” Mayweather (47-0, 26 KO) takes on fellow titlist Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 KO) in a long-anticipated unification showdown that will be the richest prizefight in the sport’s history, and which has drawn comparisons to some of the premier matchups in a weight class imprinted with that elegant trademark to which Job referred.

 

Although Pacquiao, the only fighter ever to win world championships in eight weight classes, and Mayweather, who has reigned in five weight classes, have not campaigned solely or even mostly as welterweights, it is hardly a surprise that the most important intersection of their remarkable careers comes in the same division for which so many of boxing’s greatest legends are primarily known.

 

Il “gold standard” to which all welterweights aspire remains the late, great Sugar Ray Robinson. Born Walker Smith Jr., the skinny kid who had never fought in a sanctioned bout at any level was a tag-along with coach George Gainford to an amateur tournament in Kingston, N.Y.. Asked if he had a flyweight he wished to enter, Gainford was about to say no when Smith tugged on his sleeve and said, “I’ll fight.” As it turned out, Gainford had an AAU card – you needed one to be certified as a non-professional – in the name of Ray Robinson, one of his boxers who had given up the sport. Smith/Robinson won a four-round decision, e, although no one knew it then, thus was a legend born.

 

Robinson was 85-0 as an amateur before turning pro at 19 in 1940. Da 1951, he was 128-1-2 con 84 knockout victories. Although he is also remembered for winning the middleweight title five times, Robinson never lost as a welterweight, winning so often and so emphatically that the legendary trainer, Eddie Futch, was moved to observe that, “He had everything. Boxing skills, potere di perforazione, a great chin, mental strength. There was nothing he couldn’t do.”

 

Robinson also had an outsized ego, which perhaps is a necessary component to any great fighter’s mental makeup. Even a trace of doubt in one’s own ability is not conducive to success in the ring. Once, when asked about his “golf game,” Muhammad Ali, who didn’t play golf, responded, “I’m the best, greatest of ’em all. I just haven’t played yet.”

 

Mayweather certainly brings that aura of invincibility to his work, and maybe not just because he has yet to lose as a professional. In 2013, lui ha detto, “Of course I feel unbeatable. I’m the best. I’m not going into any fight figuring that I’m beatable. I want to make a legacy for myself as the greatest fighter who ever entered the ring.”

 

Pacquiao, while perhaps not as verbose, is no less secure in his own belief system. It is those heaping measures of talent and swagger that make Mayweather vs. Pacquiao a must-see event. Which of these outstanding fighters can make the other bend to his will? Who will have his name written in larger print in the big book of welterweights?

 

The International Boxing Hall of Fame has inducted 23 fighters who were, at one time or another, welterweight champions. In addition to Robinson, those whose plaques grace the hallowed hall include Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Carmen Basilio, Henry Armstrong, Emile Griffith, Pipino Cuevas, Jose Napoles, Curtis Cokes, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Bambino” Lewis and “Mysterious” Billy Smith. Mayweather and Pacquiao are of course assured of joining their ranks as soon as they become eligible to go onto the ballot.

 

The lead-up to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao has generated no shortage of comparisons to past welterweight clashes that are notable for the classic nature of those bouts, the widespread public interest attendant to them, or both.

 

Is Mayweather vs. Pacquiao more likely to be a repeat of, dire, Leonard-Duran I, which Duran won on a rousing unanimous decision on June 25, 1980, a Montreal? The epic Leonard-Hearns I, in settembre. 16, 1981, which saw Leonard, trailing on the scorecards, rally for a dramatic, 14th-round TKO at Caesars Palace? Trinidad’s controversial majority decision over De La Hoya in their Sept. 18, 1999, unification showdown at the Mandalay Bay? Or will it make its own mark in such a distinctive way that no comparisons can or should be drawn?

 

When it comes to unforgettable welterweight bouts, by now it should be obvious that anything and everything is possible. Mayweather and Pacquiao will make history, and add to it, by attempting to bend destiny each to their own purpose.

Jimmy Slattery book author Rick Blake to be Ring 8 Guest Speaker Tuesday night in New York

Lascia un commento

NEW YORK (Aprile. 20, 2015) – Author Rich Blake sarà domani notte (Martedì, Aprile 21) special Ring 8 guest speaker at O’Neill’s Restaurant, situato in 64-21 53rd Drive in Maspeth, New York.

Blake is a veteran New York City-based author who has written, Slats: The Legend & Life of Jimmy Slattery, to be released next month by publisher No Frills Buffalo. Blake is best known for covering the financial world for numerous publications, including Institutional Investor, ABCNews.com and Reuters HedgeWorld. He was a co-founder and executive editor of Trader Monthly magazine. The 46-year-old Buffalo native is the author of two non-fiction books, The Day Donny Herbert Woke Up e Talking Proud: Rediscovering the Magical Season of the 1980 Buffalo Bills. He also is co-author of a third work of non-fiction, Diary of a Hedge Fund Manager.

Slattery personified the Golden Era of sports during the boom/bust 1920s and ’30s.

The sleek, handsome, lightning-fast Slattery was a phantom in the ring, soaring across the national stage like a comet before crashing into oblivion. Discarded by the ages, Blake’s book is the incredible true story of the Irish boy-wonder who captivated the boxing world at its peak.

 

At Ring 8’s monthly meeting domani sera, Blake will recount his research into Slattery’s early burst to fame in the metropolitan area during the spring of 1924, sharing some highlights of what he uncovered like tying in Queens fight promoter Simon “Si” Flaherty, the Queensboro A.C. in Long Island City and the Queensboro Bowl, which was expanded in the spring of 1924 as part of efforts by Flaherty and Paddy Mullins to land a Jack Dempsey-Harry Wills fight that, per sfortuna, never came materialized. Blake will also speak about how the New York City fire department condemned the club’s stadium built at the base of the Queensboro Bridge and how Flaherty managed to get around that.
SU ANELLO 8: Anello 8 divenne l'ottavo filiale di quello che allora era conosciuto come il Veteran Nazionale Boxers Association – quindi, ANELLO 8 – e oggi il motto dell'organizzazione rimane: Boxer Aiutare Boxers.

Hogan is the current NABA-US Super Welterweight Champion. Nella sua carriera da professionista di quattro anni, Hogan has also won the WBA Oceania Light Middleweight, Queensland State Super Middleweight, Queensland State medi e australiani medi Championships.

Kenny Abril, a 30-year-old southpaw, started boxing at age seven and had 120 amateur bouts before turning professional in 2003. He has faced several undefeated and top contenders, scoring a late-2012 victory over heavily decorated veteran Dennis Laurente, which is still Laurente’s only loss in the last nine years.

Prior to boxing professionally, 26-year-old Jarrell Miller had a three-year, imbattuto (18-0) kickboxing and MMA career. As a boxer, he was a New York Golden Gloves finalist and has worked as chief sparring partner for both Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko.

“I’m excited to be helping bring nationally televised championship boxing to a world-class venue such as the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casinò,” detto promotore Greg Cohen. “Tony Luis has a huge fan following in his nearby native Canada. His supporters will be out in force to watch. Kenny Abril is from nearby Rochester, New York and he’ll have a giant following in attendance as well. On the undercard will be several local favorites in exciting match-ups. I’m proud to be part of this great event and the resurgence of televised professional boxing.”

Several other exciting match-ups will be announced soon.

The event is being conducted under the rules and regulations of the Seneca Nation of Indians Athletic Commission, whose members are Scott Snyder, Sean Crane, and Justin Schapp.

Hogan Outworks Brunson on CBS Sports Network Night of Boxing

Lascia un commento


Photos by Jesse Kelley

Australia via Kildare, WBA Irlanda #12- e IBF # 11-rated “Uragano” Dennis Hogan (21-0-1, 7 KO) cruised to an entertaining and workmanlike 10-round decision over Philadelphia’s Tyrone “Young Gun” Brunson (22-5-1, 21 KO) stasera, in caso principale “Boxing Championship su CBS Sports Network” at the Grand Casino Hinckley in Hinckley, Minnesota.

Fighting in front of an appreciative sold-out crowd, Hogan outworked the careful Brunson in the majority of rounds to win by scores of 96-94, 98-92 e 97-93 and in the process, picked up the World Boxing Association’s NABA-US Super Welterweight Championship.

Hogan closed the show well and seemed to hurt Brunson with a series of clubbing shots. But Brunson was able to survive the onslaught.

Brunson, who seems to have morphed into a counter puncher since his days as the King of the KO 1 earlier in his career, had a good round eight and seemed to hurt Hogan with a right. He kept it interesting throughout by catching Hogan coming in with right hands.

Presented by Greg Cohen Promotions in association with Adam Wilcock’s Fight Card Promotions and produced by David Schuster’s Winner Take All Productions “Boxing Championship su CBS Sports Network” was the debut CBS-televised effort from the promotional team.

Several thudding knockouts punctuated the rest of the night’s action.

In co-main event della serata, lightweight slugger Ismael Barroso made quick work of Memphis, Tennessee veteran Ira Terry, knocking him out inside of a round.

The southpaw Barroso, di El Tigre, Venezuela, moved his record to 18-0-2, 17 KOs by flattening Terry (ora 26-14, 16 KO) con una mano sinistra devastante. Barroso’s reputation seems to grow with every frightening performance. Terry tried moving to his left and being elusive, but it only took one shot from Barroso’s cement fists. Referee Mark Nelson began a count when Terry went down, but quickly waved it off at 2:49.

In apertura televisivo, Saint Paul, Minnesota, middleweight prospect Rob “Ben Fatto” Brant (15-0, 9 KO)made surprisingly easy work of Miami via Colombia’s Dionisio Miranda (22-11-2, 19 KO), dropping him for the full count at 2:40 del secondo round.

Brant showed superior quickness while landing his rangy shots form outside. A right hand started the trouble for the normally durable Miranda. The follow-up volley forced Miranda down and he elected, probably wisely, not to rise. The crowd-favorite Brant remains undefeated and now has a KO win over a quality mid-level opponent on his resume.

In what turned out to be a televised swing bout, American heavyweight prospect Jarrell “Big Baby” Mugnaio, di Brooklyn, New York, moved his impressive record to 12-0-1, 10 KOs by knocking out Nairobi, Kenya’s Raymond “King Kong” Ochieng (26-19-3, 21 KO) a 1:40of the very first round.

Miller placed his heavy, accurate shots inside the wild swings of the game Ochieng and caught him with a strong combination against the ropes. Ochieng went down and referee Gary Miezwa waved it off without counting, probably prematurely.

Tuttavia, the charismatic Miller looked like a solid prospect taking out a useful veteran in Ochieng, who had gone 10 rounds with Alexander Petkovic in his last fight and handed 36-1 David Rodriguez a TKO 1 loss last July.

San Antonio, Texas, super bantamweight Adam “Mantequilla” Lopez (11-0, 6 KO) furthered his reputation as an up-and-coming prospect by levelling Saint Paul, Minnesota’s Philip Adyaka (4-5, 2 KO) with a monstrous left hook at 58 seconds of round two. 24-year-old Lopez was too big and too powerful for the smaller Adyaka. Lopez impressed, showing off his world-class weaponry while banging to the head and body, especially with the left hook. Adyaka bravely tried to rise, but stumbled back into the ropes and the fight was waved off.

In a six-round heavyweight match-up, preferito dai fan Joey “Minnesota Ice” Un campanello (30-8, 29 KO) of nearby Coon Rapids, Minnesota, started his comeback by stopping journeyman Travis “Iron Man” Fulton (22-39-1, 21 KO) of Cedar Falls, Iowa in three rounds. Out of the ring for more than a year, the southpaw Abell finally shook off the rust and got through with a volley of punches against the ropes, which badly stunned Fulton. The came at 34 seconds with Fulton dazed but still standing. I’m starting over. I want to get a couple wins and hopefully get a big fight here,” said Abell, post-lotta. Sfortunatamente, Abell slipped awkwardly in the first round and reportedly suffered a serious ankle injury.

In a four-round, all-Minneapolis super heavyweight showdown to open the night, 316-lb Van “L'Uomo” Buon uomo, ora 4-5-2, 4 KO, picked up a good win over299-libbre Brett Murphy, ora 1-1, 1 KO via TKO 2. Murphy was down in round one and twice more in round two. A tidy left uppercut was the finishing shot. Il tempo di arresto è stata 1:38.

VERONA, NEW YORK (Aprile 18) -Turning Stone Resort Casino di Verona, New York ha assistito a uno storico incontro esaurito tra due dei gladiatori più eccitanti della boxe Lucas “La Maqina”” Matthysse (37-3, 34 KO) ha preso una decisione a maggioranza sulla vittoria “Il Siberian Rocky” Ruslan Provodnikov (24-4, 17 KO) in un incontro di pesi welter junior di 12 round sul doubleheader a siti divisi su HBO Boxing After Dark ®.

Presentato da Promozioni Banner e Golden Boy Promotions, & Arano Box Promotions la notte piena di azione ha messo in mostra due atleti in lotta nel pieno della loro carriera, con un titolo girato nella divisione da 140 libbre probabilmente sospeso all'orizzonte.

Provodnikov è stato tagliato male nel secondo round da un colpo di testa accidentale. Matthysse ha mirato all'occhio ma Provodnikov ha controllato ogni colpo. Provodnikov è tornato più tardi nel round con alcune combinazioni solide e ha sferrato alcuni colpi furiosi alla testa di Matthysse. Matthysse ha avuto un bel rimbalzo nel quinto round mentre ha sferrato alcuni colpi duri alla faccia di un Provodnikov in arrivo.

La guerra è continuata attraverso i round centrali quando entrambi i combattenti sono andati in punta di piedi mentre Matthysse ha atterrato combinazioni dalla distanza e Provodnikov è andato all'offensiva e ha continuato a rissa. Provodikov ha fatto un undicesimo round forte quando è atterrato un sinistro duro in cima alla testa che ha ceduto Matthysse e l'argentino è stato costretto a tenere duro. I due hanno condotto una raffica finale nel dodicesimo round ed è stato Matthysse, l'ex campione WBC, vinto tramite decisione a maggioranza con punteggi di 115-113 due volte e 114-114.

“Penso di aver dominato la lotta, Sapevo di avere i migliori successi,” Sa'id Lucas Matthysse. “Ruslan è un combattente duro, ha preso tutto quello che gli ho lanciato. Ho molto rispetto per lui. C'è stato un momento in cui ho pensato che avrebbero fermato il combattimento a causa del taglio di Ruslan, ma la sua squadra è riuscita a controllarlo. Mi sono fatto male alla mano nel sesto round, ma ho continuato perché volevo dimostrare che sono il migliore della divisione e che sono pronto per i combattenti più duri. Voglio andare avanti e combattere il vincitore di Mayweather-Pacquiao.”

“È il pugile più duro che abbia mai combattuto, ma combatto più duramente che posso fino alla fine,” Detto Provodnikov. “Non voglio mai che la lotta finisca. L'unica volta sarebbe quando sono sulla schiena.”

Ma sono molto emozionato di aver ottenuto il knockout.”

Vitor Jones De Oliveira (9-0, 5 KO) ha vinto una decisione unanime di sei round Guillermo Sanchez (15-14-1, 6 KO) in un attacco leggero. De Oiveira ha boxato bene da fuori e ha contrastato il mancino Sanchez bello ed è tornato a casa con la vittoria a decine di 59-55 e 58-56 due volte.

Will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

Lascia un commento

Da: Rich Bergeron

Floyd “Soldi” Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 KO) and Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KO) are set to clash on May 2nd, 2015 in one of the most hyped fights in boxing history. This fight is so huge they are even planning to sell tickets to the weigh-in due to crowd control issues. The proceeds will not be going to the promoters or the boxers, anche se. It all goes to charity. Ancora, this is a first for the state of Nevada, which traditionally requires that all weigh-ins be free of charge for fans to attend.

The level of anticipation surrounding this fight had a long time to build up. For the better part of the last decade, these two pound-for-pound juggernauts could not make this fight happen for one ridiculous reason after another. As someone who personally attended some of Mayweather’s public workouts in Vegas, I can attest to the fact that the undefeated welterweight champion repeatedly and relentlessly cited Pacquiao’s refusal to undergo Olympic style blood testing when asked about the attempts being made to get this fight signed over five years ago.

Mayweather even came up with a little rap lyric to express the issue in simple terms:

“If you wanna fight the best, you gotta take the test,” he belted out during a sit-up session at one of those open workouts.

Pacquiao changed his tune on the testing and overcame the biggest hurdle of all when he met personally with Mayweather and agreed that he would be the “B” side and should therefore get a smaller split of the purse. As the video above outlines, Mayweather was then able to dominate the negotiation process.

Although pundits still say this fight will be the biggest in the history of the sport, the question must be asked if this pairing is happening too late in the careers of both fighters for it to be as exciting as some experts predict it will be.

It was always clear to me this fight would happen, but it became obvious that the longer it took to sign the contracts, the better Floyd’s chances of winning would be. Ancora, Floyd did admit in 2012 che the real reason he didn’t want to fight Pacquiao was due to health concerns. He denied being scared, calling himself “smart” for thinking about his family and his health first. Ancora, he insisted that the main reason his health would be at risk in that fight was if Pacquiao was really doing steroids, as Mayweather alleged and ended up being sued over. The two settled out of court and the fight is now imminent, so some fans think it’s all water under the bridge. Others are just plain aggravated that we had to wait this long for this bout to come to fruition.

Boxing Legend Marvin Hagler even commented recently that Mayweather waited until Pacquiao aged a little more before signing to fight him. Hagler compared Mayweather’s tactics to Sugar Ray Leonard waiting until Hagler became a little “soft” himself before they signed their fight contract. That bout turned out to be hugely controversial and left Hagler extremely bitter about the sport that made him famous.

Così, the May-Pac fight will happen, and Mayweather is the obvious favorite. To learn more about the gambling side of this story, check-out Boxing betting at William Hill site. The biggest payoff for any lucky bettor will be a successful bet on Pacquiao, but it’s easy to wonder if Pacquiao really is too old to win this time out. After all, there are tons of concerns with Manny’s calf muscles seizing up, and he reportedly uses a healing cream that costs thousands of dollars per bottle to address the problem.

Mayweather (38) is actually the older fighter, but the 36-year-old Manny’s fought 17 more bouts in the pro ranks and will likely be the most active puncher “Soldi” ever faced. Mayweather’s normally spectacular and overwhelming defensive prowess just might be tested.

This fight may not be worth every penny you spend on tickets or the Pay-Per-View feed, but the fact that it is finally happening is still special. It will still be a fight boxing fans everywhere around the world can enjoy and appreciate. It’s ultimately up to the fighters to prove they are both up to the task of making sure this fight lives up to expectations. Chances are, Floyd will do his best to leave the MGM Grand with an uneventful decision win. Let’s just hope Pacquiao has enough left in the tank to make sure this is the most competitive fight Mayweather’s ever been in. It may not be the most opportune time for this fight to happen, but it’s a lot better to get it late than never.
