Nicco Tapia, 16-Year-Old Son of Late Hall of Famer Johnny Tapia, to Make Amateur Boxing Debut Nov. 20

16-YEAR-OLD JOHNNY “NICCO” TAPIA STRIVES TO FOLLOW IN HIS LEGENDARY DAD’S FOOTSTEPS AS HE MAKES HIS AMATEUR BOXING DEBUT ON HIS MOM TERESA’S FIGHT CARD

SABADO, November. 20, 2021, IN MESCALERO, NEW MEXICO

Youngest son of late Hall of Famer Johnny Tapia to fight on the preliminary portion of Tapia Promotions’ Barrera vs. De Leon: “La Ultima Batalla” (The Last Stand) mabuhi from the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (Nov. 13, 2021) – While countless high school juniors concern themselves with standardized test scores and submitting college applications, Johnny “Nicco” Tapia, the youngest son and namesake of the late five-time world champion, will commence his pursuit of a pro boxing career when he makes his amateur debut on the preliminary portion of his Mom Teresa’sMarco Antonio Barrera vs. Daniel Ponce de Leonpay-per-view fight card Saturday, Nov. 20, 2021.

“Boxing is a passion,” said the 16-year-old currently working toward earning his diploma online. “I love stepping into the ring, getting hit, and feeling the crowd’s energy.”

In the Nov. 20 main event, two Mexican boxing legends will lace up the gloves for one final night when Hall of FamerMarco Antonio Barrera(67-7, 44 KOs) returns to the ring for only the second time in more than a decade to square off against former two-time world championDaniel Ponce de Leon (45-7, 35 KOs). The six-round super welterweight exhibition and four additional bouts will air live on pay per view from Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino in Mescalero, New Mexico.

FITE PPV and Golden Boy Fight Night on Facebook Watch Paid Online will televise the five-bout main card live on pay per view for$9.99 sa4:30 sa gabii. PT /5:30 sa gabii. MT/7:30 sa gabii. UG

A native of Las Cruces, N.M., Nicco trains in the Tapia home garage, enjoys studying sociology to “look at people from a different perspective,” dislikes mathematics, and currently has no plans to further an academic career following his 2023 graduation.

“I don’t really plan to go to college,” said the music fan who freestyle raps in his downtime. “I want to keep pushing myself in the ring and turn pro as soon as I get enough experience.”

Surrounded by the sweet science from an early age, Nicco fondly looks back on innumerable heartwarming memories of watching his father train for upcoming fights.

“I used to go to the gym and run around with my Dad every day. When the bell rang, I held up the gloves with him.”

Outside of boxing, the father-son pairing spent quality time playing other sports, enjoying delicious desserts, and tuning into their favorite television programs.

“We used to go to the park, play basketball, and jump on the trampoline,” Nicco recalled. “Dad used to give me ice cream sandwiches. I remember going into his room and watching the show ‘Cops’ together.”

Aiming to find inspiration and discover boxing tips from one of boxing’s all-time greatest fighters, young Nicco frequently rewatches Johnny’s classic bouts.

“I study his speed, head movement, and angles,” said the teenager who models much of his fighting style after his Dad and Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

When asked to name his favorite “Mi Vida Loca” fight, Nicco did not hesitate in listing Johnny Tapia’s hard-fought victory over fellow Albuquerquean and former world champion Danny Romero for the IBF/WBO junior bantamweight titles on July 18, 1997, sa Las Vegas, Név.

“The crowd was wild and crazy,” Nicco recollected. “I love studying my Dad’s boxing technique.”

Originally scheduled to fight at Inn of the Mountain Gods on July 31, 2021, the aspiring actor and former viola player pulled out of his amateur debut when he sustained a hand fracture.

“I was playing football with friends and landed on my hand wrong,” lamented the proud holder of a driver’s license. “It was the first time I injured myself.”

Less than four months later, Nicco is eager to thrill the Mescalero crowd on Nov. 20 before Barrera and De Leon take center stage.

“I am ticking off the days and can’t wait for this night to come.”

UNDEFEATED EL PASOAN ABEL MENDOZA HAS SURVIVED HOMELESSNESS AND VIOLENT CHILDHOOD SURROUNDINGSTO BATTLE FORMER WORLD TITLE CHALLENGER VICTOR ZALETA SATURDAY, November. 20, 2021, ON FITE AND GOLDEN BOY PAY PER VIEW

Hard-hitting knockout artist to put his perfect record on the line at Tapia Promotions’ Barrera vs. De Leon: “La Ultima Batalla” (The Last Stand) mabuhi from the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino in Mescalero, New Mexico

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (Nov. 12, 2021) – From overcoming a crime-ridden, west Texas childhood environment to his father’s incarceration and living out of a car as a teenager, the path toward fighting three-time world title challenger Victor Zaleta on Tapia Promotions’Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Daniel Ponce de Leonpay-per-view card Saturday, Nov. 20, 2021, has been anything but smooth sailing for the undefeated El Paso boxer Abel Mendoza.

“I was surrounded by violence growing up,” said the 25-year-old lightweight contender who is 30-0 uban sa 23 KOs. “A lot of people that I was around went to prison; I was the only one who didn’t. Boxing was my way out, my safe haven. The sport saved me.”

In the Nov. 20 main event, two Mexican boxing legends will lace up the gloves for one final night when Hall of FamerMarco Antonio Barrera(67-7, 44 KOs) returns to the ring for only the second time in more than a decade to square off against former two-time world championDaniel Ponce de Leon (45-7, 35 KOs).

After initially lacing up the gloves at four years old and capturing the Regional Silver Gloves at age eight in Odessa, Texas, the Fort Stockton native secured five titles while defeating all but 20 sa iyang 300 amateur boxing opponents.

Apan, numerous obstacles have beset Abel on his road toward achieving he and his father’s goal of the young fighter becoming a world champion.

“My Dad got into some trouble at the beginning of my boxing career,” Abel said. “He was on house arrest and then went to jail for a while. It was an extremely difficult time for my family.”

While still in high school, the 17-year-old Mendoza often slept in his vehicle after moving from Odessa to El Paso to become a professional boxer.

“That was a point in my career when I was homeless,” the aspiring titleholder recalled. “I was surrounded by a lot of violence and crime in Odessa and left because I wanted a fresh start. Sometimes I had to stay in my car.”

Never one to shy away from strenuous manual labor, Mendoza’s first job consisted of unearthing fruit in a Pecos, Texas, field with his grandfather at age 13.

“It was summer, and we picked cantaloupes in the hot sun all day,” said the multi-faceted student who is currently taking psychology classes at Odessa College. “That was the year I first won Nationals. I still trained while working in the fields. It was the best and the worst.”

Recalling the arduous memories when he did not know where he would sleep or locate his next meal, the Native American history fan finds solace in giving back to the El Paso community during the holiday season.

“I love to help out at shelters because I have been in that situation where I needed food and a place to stay,” said Santa’s helper who also hands out gifts at west Texas hospitals each December. “It makes me feel good to see the children smile.”

Hoping to battle for a world crown within the next year, the never-married Mendoza counsels the wedded on social media when not honing his skills in the squared circle.

“I go on Instagram Live because people ask me for marriage advice. A lot of people need help.”

Undefeated World Light Heavyweight Contender Gilberto Ramirez believes in “Zurdo,” Golden Boy & his Mexican heritage

CHAMPIONS.jpg
(L-R) – Oscar de la Hoya, Gilberto Ramirez & Bernard Hopkins



LAS VEGAS (August 23, 2021) – Undefeated Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (42-0, 28 KOs) feels he’ll get his first World light heavyweight title shot because he believes in himself, his promoter Golden Boy Promotions, and his Mexican heritage.


The former World Boxing Organization (WBO) super middleweight World champion is a leading light heavyweight contender, karon rated Dili. 2 sa World Boxing Organization (WBO) ug ang No. 5 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF), ingon man usab sa No. 9 sa Ang Ring independent rankings for the first time in the 175-pound division.


After Ramirez’ recent knockout victory over Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs), positioning him for a World title shot, the boxing world looked forward to “Zurdo” challenging World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight Champion Dmitry Bivol later this year. Bivol had all but assured a showdown with Ramirez through social media posts, but suddenly he changed his tune and was dreaming of a match this November that isn’t going to happen against WBA and WBC Super Middleweight Champion “Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 KOs).


The 30-year Ramirez has openly called for a fight with Bivol or either of the other World light heavyweight title holders, Artur Beterbiev (WBC/IBF) ug Joe Smith, Jr. (WBO), whose rumored unification fight doesn’t appear to be on the horizon.


Samtang sa laing bahin, all three reigning World light heavyweight champions have gone dark, at least in terms of fighting Ramirez. Is “Zurdo” too risky for them, or are they just hesitant to fight a proven Mexican challenger?


“I leave my opponents to my promoter, Golden Boy, and its matchmaker, Robert Diaz,” Ramirez explained. “They’re aware of what I want, and I trust they are diligent and will do whatever is best for me. Ingon sa usa ka fighter, I’ve been clear that all the World light heavyweight champs are on my hit list; and I don’t retract my statement or shy away from the fights as most of them have. In this world, all I have are my word and balls, and I don’t break ‘em for anyone. I fight not just for myself, but for my pride and the spirit of Mexican people. We are proud of our heritage and have been the best fighters. Russians know I will take out both Bivol and Beterbiev; Joe Smith, Jr. is just an appetizer.”


“Canelo” and Julio Cesar Gonzalez (2003) are the only native Mexicans to be crowned World Light Heavyweight Champions, but everybody in boxing knows Mexican boxers are called warriors for a good reason.


“I think they’re all reluctant to fight a Mexican light heavyweight like me,” Ramirez added. “There’s a reason why Bivol is retracting his statement and staying quiet after all his social media antics. If he was serious, it’s an easy fight to make, and he knows it (both fighters have fought on DAZN). I’m also hearing (Josue) Buatsi’s name in the mix, but I would absolutely destroy him. All these guys talk the talk but rarely walk the walk. I am a Mexican warrior; everybody knows the way we are built!"


Other potential contenders in the mix, excluding the reigning world champions, may include Badou Jack, Eleider Alvarez, Maxim Vlasov (Ramirez defeated him as super middleweights), ug Lyndon Arthur.

“My time will come, Ramirez concluded. “I know Golden Boy is working hard on making this a reality and when that time comes, all these guys will have nowhere to run or hide. I leave who I fight next up to my matchmaker, Robert Diaz. I trust that Golden Boy will do whatever is best for my career.


“I’m not frustrated, this is part of the process. I’m a veteran in this game. Many will talk, but they will fall when it’s time to act. Pag-usab, I trust Golden Boy will do what has been promised and I look forward to what fight they will present me with.”

41-0 Gilberto “Zurdo” Barrera needs to get past Sullivan Barrera to get world light heavyweight title shot

Streaming live July 9th on DAZN from L.A.

Zurdo training.jpg




LOS ANGELES (Hunyo 28, 2021) – Undefeated former WBO Super Middleweight Champion and Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 KOs), currently a highly ranked light heavyweight contender, will have a lot on the line July 9th against world light heavyweight title challenger Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs), including world title fight implications and, ultimately, his boxing legacy,

Zurdo vs. Barrera, presented by Golden Boy Promotions, will be streamed exclusively on DAZN, live from Banc of California Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Football Club (pro soccer), located in downtown Los Angeles.

To get a world light heavyweight title shot against any of the reigning champions – WBC & IBF Artur Beterbiev (16-0 (16 KOs), WBA Super Dmitry Bivol (18-0, 11 KOs) or WBO Joe Smith (27-3, 21 KOs) – Barrera stands in Ramirez’ way in the 12-round Zurdo vs. Barrera main event. Ramirez is ranked No. 3 by the WBA and WBO, ingon man usab sa No. 5 pinaagi sa IBF.

That’s what the fans want but I’m not sure if these fighters are ready for me,” Ramirez boldly said about Beterbiev, Bivol and Smith. “I wasn’t impressed by any of the three in their recent bouts. They can run as much as they want, but they can’t hide forever. I know I’m the best in the division and, sooner or later, I will be snatching each of the belts and taking their souls one by one.”

Ramirez, nga bag-o lang nahimo 30 (Hunyo 19), was the first Mexican fighter to capture a world super middleweight title, which he relinquished in 2019 to move up to the light heavyweight division, in which he is 2-0 (2 KOs) having defeated Tommy Karpency(29-6-1) ug Alphonso Lopez (32-3) last December to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) crown.

A decorated Cuban amateur boxer (285-27 nga rekord), 39-year-old Barrera defeated future pro world champions such as Chad Dawson,
Shumenov Beibu ug Mariano Natalio Carrera prior to defecting from Cuba to Miami and turning pro.

Barrera, fighting out of Cuba by way of Miami, mao 3-3 vs. past or present world champions with victories against Jeff Lacy (WTKO4), Karo Murat (WKO12) ugFelix Valera (WDEC10), losing to Bivol (TKO12), Smith (DEC10), and Hall of FamerAndre Ward (DISYEMBRE 12).

“I always expect the best from my opponents,” Ramirez noted. “Barrera is a professional and I know he will be ready when the lights are on. He displayed that he’s a strong fighter when he beat and broke Joe Smith, Jr.’s jaw in their bout.

Split-T Management’s Christopher Pearson ready for anyone at 160 o 168 lbs.

NEW YORK (Hulyo 28, 2020) – Surging middleweight contender Christopher Pearson is ready for a breakthrough performance against any of the top names at 160 o 168 divisions.


Pearson of Trotwood, Ohio, is managed by Split-T Management, and he recently moved to San Antonio, Texas, adunay usa ka rekord sa 17-2, and is riding a three-fight winning streak which includes a win over former Olympic Bronze Medal winner and undefeated Yamaguchi Falcao.


Pearson, who trains in Los Angeles under world-championship trainer Manny Robles, has already begun preparations for his next assignment.


I started training down here in San Antonio at Jesse James Leija’s gym. I just moved down here, and it took a minute to find a gym, but once the gym opened, this is a great place to be. I will go to Los Angeles on July 30th and start with Manny,” said Pearson.


Pearson, who began his career with 13 sunod-sunod nga mga kadaugan, feels that he is a stern challenge for anybody at middleweight or super middleweight.


I am looking to fight the best in those two divisions,and solidify myself as the best in the sport. I feel that that the 2nd half of my career is proving that I am the best.


The Falcao fight proved that Pearson can fight anyone in those divisions, and despite getting a late call for the fight, he performed at a high-level to come home with the emphatic unanimous decision victory.


I took that fight on four weeks notice. I am not short on confidence, and I know what I am capable of doing.


Recently Pearson had his named mentioned for a showdown with Canelo Alvarez, and he believes that Canelo’s handlers were not too keen in a fight with the 29 year-old Pearson.

I know that I am one of four or five guys from Golden Boy Promotions that was offered that fight. Out of all of those guys, they must of looked at me as a high-risk, low-reward fight. Fighting me is dangerous. They know me, because I have sparred with him, and he knows what I am capable of.

Canelo is a counter-puncher, but he is not better then me in the department. He has more power, but he is not as capable as me. Sa higayon nga kita diha sa singsing, anything can happen..especially at 168 mobanlas.”

Another fight that I would like to get is with Jaime Munguia. He is at 160 pounds now. I can outclass him. I don’t see anything special about him. If it takes beating other fighters like David Lemieux or Taureano Johnson to get those fights, then bring them on. Right now I am ready to take on anyone.

Pearson is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions.

Ang Jared Shaw nagdumala sa Heavyweight karong bag-o nagsulud sa kasabutan sa pang-promosyon sa Mga Guswag nga Boy Boy

Los Angeles, SAMA. (Nobyembre 8, 2018) – Sa panahon diin ang bug-at nga timbang nga boksing usa na usab ka init nga pagkabahin. Ang pangutana gipangutana pa, kinsa ang sunod nga Mike Tyson sama sa knockout artist? O ang mga sports sama sa football ug basketball gikuha ang labing kaayo nga dagko nga mga lalaki gikan sa boksing?

 

 

 

Sulud si James “Ang Mananap nga Mapintas” Wilson.

 

 

 

Si Wilson adunay tanan nga mga kinaiya sa gihisgutan nga mga kalidad. Usa ka makalilisang nga atleta, nga naa sa usa ka kampo sa pagbansay sa NFL nga adunay background sa away nga nagpakita sa mabangis nga kusog.

 

 

 

Wilson, nga nagpirma lang sa Golden Boy Promotions, adunay usa ka rekord sa 8-0 uban sa pito ka knockouts, apan nagsugod ang iyang istorya 20 tuig na ang milabay sa kadalanan sa Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Si Wilson nag-agi sa mga malisud nga panahon ug wala’y balay taliwala sa mga edad sa 13 ug 15, diin siya natulog sa mga motel, mga bangko sa parke, ug pag-shower sa mga parke. Si Wilson adunay pagkiskis sa balaod, ug kana nakapausab sa iyang kinabuhi….alang sa labing maayo.

 

 

 

“Gi-lock ko dayon gibutang sa usa ka grupo. Sa tinuud nakuha ako nga adunay istraktura ug gibutang ako sa husto nga agianan. Maayo ang akong pag-eskuyla ug nagsugod sa pagdula og sports ug karon adunay positibo nga mga kapilian sa akong kinabuhi,” Miingon si Wilson.

 

 

 

Si Wilson nahimong Los Angeles Times High School Football Player sa tuig, ingon man usa ka tulo ka oras nga Track sa tanan nga lungsod & Atleta sa uma, nga nakakuha kaniya usa ka iskolarship sa Concord University sa West Virginia.

 

 

 

Wilson, nga nigradwar nga adunay degree sa sosyolohiya, unya nagpadayon sa pagdula propesyonal nga football sa tanan nga mga lugar, Poland.

 

 

 

Pagkahuman niini nakakuha siya usa ka pagdapit sa kampo sa pagbansay kauban ang mga Chicago Bears. Hinuon gipili niya ang pagsunod sa lain pang hilig sa atletiko.

 

 

 

“Gisugdan nako ang paghimo sa Kenpo-Karate, Muay-Thai ug Kickboxing.” Si Wilson adunay usa ka propesyonal nga rekord sa Kickboxing sa 16-2-1 diin siya nakigkompetensya sa mga nag-una nga organisasyon sama sa K-1 ug Glory.

 

 

Human nga, Gisulayan ni Wilson ang iyang kamut sa MMA ug gipakita ang usa ka impresibo 5-2 nagtala ug nakig-away alang sa labing gitamud nga Bellator Fighting Championships.

 

 

 

Wala pa matagbaw, Gisugdan ni Wilson ang boksing.

 

 

 

Gibiyahe usab ni Wilson ang kalibutan ug gisugdan ang iyang pagsuntok alang sa karera sa suweldo sa New Zealand.

 

 

 

“Adunay akong kaila nga tigpasiugda sa New Zealand, ug naka away ko kada semana didto. Kini ang nagpadali sa akong proseso ug pag-uswag. Nibalik ko sa Los Angeles, ug nakakuha og upat pa nga daog.”

 

 

 

Sa 7-0, Nakilala dayon ni Wilson ang dugay nang magdudula sa industriya sa boksing, Jared Shaw.

 

 

 

Nakita ni Shaw ang mga video ni Wilson sa iyang Instagram account, ug naabut ang wala’y pilde nga bug-at nga timbang.

 

 

 

“Gikontak ako ni Jared, ug nagkita sa gym, ug siya adunay parehas nga panan-awon alang kanako nga nakita ko, ug ang nahabilin mao ang kasaysayan.”

 

 

 

“Nakita ko si James ingon usa ka brilyante sa gubot,” Miingon si Shaw. “Adunay siya ang kombinasyon ug katulin ug kusog nga dili nimo makita sa dibisyon sa gibug-aton sa timbang. Anaa kana kaniya “kini” hinungdan nga akong nakita sa Kimbo Slice. Swerte ako nga gipirmahan ko si Kailo sa mga away nga nakita sa Youtube. Pagsulod ni Kailo sa usa ka kuwarto, gibati nimo ang presensya ug kusog. Nakita ko ang daghang parehas nga mga hiyas sa mga termino nga si James ang ingon nga usa ka matang sa usa ka atraksyon. Bisan kinsa nga masayup nga si James alang sa usa ka magdudula sa football o usa ka Mixed Martial Artist siguradong adunay mga kamot nga puno sa singsing sa boksing. Kini usa ka atleta nga blue-chip, ” Miingon si Shaw, nga nagdako sa isport ingon ang iyang amahan nga si Gary Shaw usa sa mga nag-una nga tigpasiugda sa kalibutan sa miaging tulo ka dekada.

 

 

 

 

 

Ang 1st job ni Shaw mao ang pagkuha sa husto nga trainer ni James. Pagsulud sa Justin Fortune.

 

 

 

“Dugay na nakong nakaila si Justin. Parehas ingon usa ka coach sa kusog ug pagkondisyon ug ingon usa ka tigbansay. Ang kadaghanan makaila kaniya sa kiliran ni Manny Pacquiao, apan tingali kadaghanan sa mga tawo wala mahibal-an nga si Justin usa ka mabug-at nga paglaum nga nakig-away ni Lennox Lewis. Ang labi nakong gusto sa kini nga pagpares mao si Justin nga usa usab ka mubo nga gibug-aton sa timbang usab, apan usa ka kusgan nga puncher. Ang iyang katuigan nga kasinatian mao ang makatabang sa James nga mapadali ang iyang pagtubo sa isport. Ingon usa ka tem, kita adunay usa ka tumong nga ibalik ang usa ka kampiyonato sa kalibutan balik sa Los Angeles ug sa angay nga panahon,” nagpadayon si Shaw.

 

 

 

Ang sunod nga lakang ni Shaw mao ang pagpangita sa husto nga tigpasiugda nga pirmahan ni Wilson, ug ang duo nakit-an ang usa sa labing kadaghan nga mga kompanya sa kalibutan nga interesado.

 

 

 

“Daghang mga nagpasiugda ang nagtan-aw kanako. Nakigkita ko kay Golden Boy, ug nakita nila ang akong talento ug panan-aw ug akong gibati nga himuon nila kini alang kanako, ug dad-a ako sa kampeonato nga Heavyweight sa kalibutan,” Miingon si Wilson.

 

 

 

Giasoy ni Shaw ang kaminyoon tali sa fighter ug tigpasiugda.

 

 

“Kini ang hingpit nga kahimtang. Ang Golden Boy Promotions usa sa mga nanguna sa among isport bahin sa mga kompanya sa promosyon. Sa kini nga kahimtang, nagtrabaho nga adunay ka usa ka maayong paglaum gikan sa Los Angeles nga nakig-away gikan sa usa ka bantog nga kompanya sa kalibutan nga nakabase sa Los Angeles. Karon pa si Golden Boy naa sa taas sa isport. Gipasiugda nila ang labing maayong manlalaban sa kalibutan sa Canelo Alvarez, ug nakagpasalig sila kaniya sa usa ka wala pa hitabo nga pakigsabot sa DAZN. Gipaabut namon ang mga oportunidad nga moabut alang ni James, ug aron ipakita si James’ talagsaon nga hugpong sa mga kahanas. Naa nako ang 100% pagsalig kang Oscar (De La Hoya), Eric (Gomez) ug Robert (Diaz) aron madala si James sa kampiyonato sa Heavyweight sa kalibutan, ug makatabang nga mapadako ang iyang potensyal nga kita. Wala pa’y kampiyon sa Heavyweight ang Los Angeles, busa kini adunay hingpit nga kahulugan nga ang ika-1 nga kauban ang usa ka kompleto nga koponan nga nakabase sa Los Angeles kauban si James, Justin, Kami ni Golden Boy. ”

 

 

 

“Ang gusto nako nga mahibal-an sa mga tawo bahin kang James mao ang sulud sa mga lubid, siya usa ka Beast and Human Highlight Film, busa Ayaw Blink. Apan sa gawas sa singsing, siya usa ka dili katuohan nga amahan sa iyang tulo ka mga lalaki. Usa ka hilabihang kadasig nga mamumulong, ug usa ka positibo nga sulondan sa sulud nga mga syudad ug sa nahabilin sa kalibutan. Dako siya sa komunidad ug makatabang sa mga kabatan-onan. Labi na ang mga gi-bully.”

 

 

 

Gisulti ni Wilson ang daghang mga bata bahin sa Anti-Bullying. “Naghimo ako daghang pagsulti ug mga seminar alang sa kontra-bullying. Nag-adtoan ako sa daghang mga eskuylahan ug nag-atiman sa mga balay ug gisuginlan ko sila sa akong istorya. Sa akong hunahuna mahimo ako nga usa ka tawo alang sa mga bata nga gipangita ug ipahibalo kanila nga sila adunay kaugmaon bisan kung unsa man ang ilang kahimtang. Gisultihan ko ang mga bata nga ang imong mga kamot hinagiban, ang imong baba hinagiban, ug ang lugar ra alang sa away naa sa sulud sa usa ka singsing.”

 

 

 

Kung gipangutana kung kinsa ang gusto niya nga away ug kung unsa ang iyang mga katuyoan sa sport, Miingon si Wilson, “Wala ako nagtinguha nga away ang bisan kinsa nga piho nga indibidwal, Nagtinguha ako nga awayon silang tanan. Labing importante, Ania ako aron hatagan ang mga fans us aka tan-awon. Kini mao ang 365 adlaw sa “Mananap” panahon. Kini nga Beast Mode o Wala’y Mode.”

Liddell won the fight in spectacular fashion via KO, but the grudge was far from over. Sa 2006 the two faced off again with Ortiz vowing he would even the score. Ortiz fared much better in the second encounter but again succumbed to Liddell via referee stoppage TKO.

 

 

Tito Ortiz returns to the cage after a submission win over Chael Sonnen back in January 2017 to fight for redemption against his longtime rival Chuck Liddell. Liddell, coming out of retirement, is fighting to make it a perfect 3-0 over the “The Huntington Beach Bad Boyand to close the door on a feud that has spanned more than a decade. With a rivalry this intense and emotions still running high, this trilogy fight has fighters and fans from multiple generations excited to see the final chapter of one of the biggest rivalries of all time!
