GH3 Promotions Antoine Douglas ready for big performance on Saturday night

Nutley, NJ (Március 3, 2016) – Ezt Szombat este a Sands Bethlehem Events Center, veretlen középsúlyú Antoine Douglas (19-0-1, 13 KO) will face the toughest test of his career when he takes on rugged Avtandil Khurtsidze in the co-feature bout of a SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION®.
This fight is the continuing process of Douglaspromoter GH3 Promotions, which has groomed the Washington, D. C. native from his first professional bout.
Douglas set the model for what GH3 Promotions is all about and that is grass roots developing.
I am so proud of Antoine and the job he has done,”said GH3 Promotions CEO Vito Mielnicki. “When I started this company, I wanted to sign very good fighters with solid amateur backgrounds. Antoine was the someone I coveted and I saw this vision for him and now the fight on Saturday is the perfect next step for him. Ha ő nyer szombat and I feel he will be ready for a big opportunity.
Mielnicki continued, “That’s the blueprint. Develop fighters on my local shows. Fighters like Antoine and now Adam Lopez (15-0, 7 KO) graduated to ShoBox main event status and then to the next level. Nekünk volt John Thompson (17-2, 6 KO’s fight for a world title, We have high aspirations for O'Shaquie Foster (10-1, 7 KO), Jerry Odom (13-2-1, 12 KO) Ronald Ellis (12-0-1, 10 KO) , Keenan Smith (9-0, 3 KO) és Hector Frometa (2-0).”
Lopez, stayed undefeated by winning a comfortable unanimous decision over previously Mario Munoz on February 19th in Atlantic City that headlined a ShoBox: The New Generation card..
Odom and Ellis fought to a spirited draw in a Super Middleweight bout. On another televised bout, Foster was dominant in stopping Lavisas Williams. On the non-televised card, Hector Frometa went to 2-0 egyhangú döntés győzelem.
We feel that Lopez needs another fight or two against good opposition to get to where Antoine is now. Foster showed that he has a chance to be a special fighter and we love the potential of Frometa.
Foster is now trained by Dennis Porter & Ronald Sims, who also handle Antoine and it was evident in their first fight together the difference that they have already made on him.
Douglas is currently ranked number-six by the WBA, number-eleven by the IBF and number-three by the WBO, while Lopez is ranked number-seven by the WBA.
This is all a product of moving our guys fast and right and by not babying them on the way up.

LEGENDS

Írta Steve Farhood

 

A legendák nélküli boksz olyan lenne, mint a vallás szentek nélkül.

Nincs olyan képlet, hogy a harcos a csillagról a szupersztárra a legendára továbbjuthasson. A folyamat az időzítéstől függ, körülmény, És néha olyan kevés vagy két pont a bírákon’ kártyák.

És ó, igen: Segít, ha egy srác valóban harcolhat.

Ahogy ünnepeljük 30 Évek éves boksz a showtime -en, Minden hónapban egy másik témára összpontosítunk. Március folyamán, A téma a legendák lesz.

A 130 Évek John L -től. Sullivan Floyd Mayweathernek, A boksz azt adta nekünk, amit más sportok nem tudnak biztosítani. Fontolgat:

  • Az Associated Press Luis Firpo Jack Dempsey leütését a 20. század első felének legnagyobb sport pillanatává tette.
  • A Frazier-Ali „századi küzdelme” 1971 könnyen volt a történelem legjobban várt sporteseménye.
  • A tavalyi Mayweather-Pacquiao-harc több mint fél milliárd dollárt generált — egy éjszaka!

A legendákat nagy pillanatok készítik … És hogyan reagálnak ezekre a pillanatokra.

Showtime -en, Három évtizedes legendákot mutattunk be. Itt van egy pillantás azokra, akik márciusban megosztják a reflektorfényt.

Marvin Hagler: Mivel Vince Lombardi nem pontosan mondta, „Az időzítés nem minden, Ez az egyetlen dolog,- Haglernek meg kellett volna mondania.

Hagler jó harcos volt jóval azelőtt, hogy szupersztár volt, De csak akkor harcolt Roberto Duran ellen, Thomas Hearns, és a cukor -ray Leonard (Hagler utolsó hat csapása közül három) hogy Marvin csodálatossá vált.

Hagler egyetlen megjelenése a Showtime -en, Ami történt az első ütés, amelyet a hálózaton televezettek (Március 1986), karrierje utolsó győzelme volt. Legyőzhetetlen 10 év, Hagler a történelem egyik legnagyobb középsúlyának bizonyult. És bár utólagos látásban lehet vitatkozni, hogy életkorban 31, A végső kékgalléros harcos kissé meghaladta a főnökét, A Hagler különlegessé tette nagy részét a verhetetlen és heves Challenger elleni vad védelem során kiállították, John Mugabi.

Majdnem három évtizeddel nyugdíjazása után, Hagler továbbra is a középsúly a mai 160-pounders-t mérik.

Sugar Ray LEONARD: Ha Hagler későn virágzik, Leonard szupersztár volt, mielőtt szakemberként egyetlen ütést dobott volna.

A 70-es évek közepén, Ez az, amit egy mágneses mosoly, Olimpiai aranyérmet, és az ismételt expozíció a Prime Time televízióban megteheti egy fiatal harcosot.

Ironikus, hogy Leonardot eredetileg néhányan a média kódolt alkotásának tekintették. Valójában, Olyan kemény volt, mint a csillagszállító és a 80-as évek eleji harcosai. Még jobb, Ő továbbra is a legjobb harcos, amiben lefedtem 38 Évek a boksz ütemében.

Leonard megjelenése a Showtime -en volt a karrierje utolsó előtti küzdelme. Ha úgy dönt, hogy véget vet egy újabb hosszú elbocsátásnak, Sugar Ray, 34, A kiemelkedő, 23 éves szuperhegeszt súlyú Terry Norrist választotta ellenfelének. Leonard leesett 160 hogy 154 fontot és először harcoltak a Madison Square Garden -ben.

A mérkőzés emlékeztetőként szolgált, hogy legalább egy bokr előtti Hopkins világban, A boksz nagyon egy fiatal férfi játék volt.

Felix Trinidad: Csak három spanyol harcos van, akik szupersztárokká váltak az Egyesült Államokban anélkül, hogy angolul beszélnének. Az első Panama Roberto Duran volt. A második Mexikó Julio Cesar Chavez volt.

A harmadik Puerto Rico Trinidad volt.

Trinidad mottója is lehetett, - Ha nem lehet Amerikából származó, Akkor verte Amerikát.

Klasszikus lyukasztó egy cserkész mosolyával és rajongóbarát személyiséggel, Trinidad négy amerikai legyőzésével tette meg a nevét. Olimpikonok, Pernell Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya (bár egy szörnyű döntéssel), David Reid, és Fernando Vargas.

Ráadásul, Whitaker, De La Hoya, És Reid mind aranyérmes volt.

A harc, amelyen szerepelünk Március 17 A szélsőségen, Trinity Vs.. Reid, Trinidad 14. és utolsó megjelenése volt a Showtime Championship bokszon és a Showtime Pay-Pay-Per-View.

A Maurice Blocker hegesztett súlyú címe Kayo-ból 1993 Mahenge Zulu elleni védekezésén keresztül 1998, 13 Trinidad's 14 A Bouts -ot a Showtime -en sugározták. A harcok tizenkét volt a kieséses győzelem.

Ahol Trinidad Wilfredo Gomez -rel áll, Miguel Cotto, Carlos Ortiz, Wilfred Benitez, És a Puerto Rico legendáinak többi része vitatható. A vitathatatlan az, hogy a „Tito” annyi izgalmat váltott ki, mint a korszak bármely harcosa.

Ricardo Lopez: Mi a kisebb: annak esélye, hogy egy szalma súly (105 font) amerikai televíziós csillag vagy maga a harcos lesz?

Soha nem volt amerikai világbajnok a szalmasúlyban (vagy minimumsúly). Csak nem termesztünk ilyen méretű harcosokat. Valójában, Mexikó Lopez megjelenéséig a 90-es évek elején, A legtöbb amerikai boksz rajongó nem tudott volna azonosítani egyetlen szalmát, ha a világtérképmel és a WBC besorolásokkal felfegyverkeznek.

Lopez annyira teljes volt, olyan domináns, Tehát technikailag tökéletes, hogy 1994 '99 -ig, Ő volt a Showtime bokszprogramozásának vágója. Harcolt 13 Kisükben a Showtime Championship boksz vagy a Showtime Pay-Pay-Per-View, És az első 11 E versenyek közül a szalma súlyú cím védelme volt.

És ha úgy gondolja, hogy a kis srácok nem tudnak ütni, jól, Volt néhány egy lyukasztó kayos meghintve.

Lopez, aki nyugdíjba vonult 51-0-1, egyetemesen elismerik minden idők nagyszerűnek. Kár, hogy soha nem harcolt Amerika Michael Carbajal -nal a Light Flyweight -nál. Ha megnyerte azt a csapást, Valószínűleg elismerik őt a két vagy három legnagyobb mexikói harcos egyikének.

Ami sokat mond egy harcosnak, aki soha nem szembesült az ellenfélrel, akit az amerikai néző közönség elismert.

Here is what Julian and his trainer, Stephen Edwards, kellett mondani Kedd:
JULIAN WILLIAMS
I am extremely focused. There is a lot at stake szombaton. I am finally in the position I wanted to be in since turning pro.
I have come to a conclusion that if people don’t have to fight Julian Williams then they won’t. It hasn’t been that frustrating though because I always have a fight on the books. I can’t worry about the people who won’t fight me. I just have to stay ready and put myself in the mandatory spot. That’s what I am going to do szombat éjszaka.
It’s never any challenge fighting at home. I know exactly what I have to do. I don’t cut any corners in camp. The biggest challenge is the waiting because I am so anxious to get in there and get a win, especially in front of my home crowd.
I always knew I wanted to pursue a boxing career, so I treat it like I want it. I’ve been dreaming about this for a long time and my opportunity is finally here.
I’ve been a student of the game since I started watching boxing. I want to learn and I want to know everything about boxing.
It means everything to have my biggest fight to date in my backyard. I know my fans cheer loud and it feels great to have their support in my corner.
I know everything about my opponent. I probably know what kind of toothpaste he used this morning. I searched high and low for videos of Matano. I am ready because I know he is ready.
He is a little bit awkward. He seems to have a really good gas tank. He said he wants to take me the distance, so we’ll see.
The last fight solidified the things that I already knew about myself. I know I am fundamentally sound and I know I am the hungriest fighter in the world.
I always want to put on an explosive performance. It’s always about a win.
In about nine months, Philadelphia will have it’s fourth IBF super welterweight champion after David Reid, Robert Hines and Buster Drayton.
STEPHEN EDWARDS, Williams’ edző
We are ready. It’s been a long four-month camp. We thought were going to fight in January, so we’ve been grinding through this rough weather early in the morning. Julian is chomping at the bit and ready to rock ‘n roll.
We thought we were going to fight Austin Trout in December, and he saw that Julian gave his opponent a concussion and said I don’t want to fight him. It’s just that simple. We have to get past Matano and then we can talk about (super welterweight champion Jermall) Charlo.
Anybody with two hands and a heartbeat can fight. Matano is ranked and just because he isn’t well known, it doesn’t mean he can’t fight. Ő 16-1 and they didn’t have a hard time convincing him to take the fight. The best soldiers are volunteers. Any time someone willingly comes to someone else’s country, you have to take him seriously.
I don’t want to make a prediction, but Julian will hurt this guy very bad.

Anaheim, Kalifornia. (Február. 27, 2016) – Oroszlán “Földrengés” Santa Cruz defended his WBA Featherweight World Championship in convincing fashion szombat éjszaka, knocking down Kiko “Sensación” Martinez twice in the first round, then ending it on a barrage of punches as the fight was called at 2:09 in the fifth round in the main event of a SHOWTIME BAJNOKSÁG BOXING doubleheader at Honda Center in Anaheim, Kalifornia.
A co-funkciót SHOWTIME, 29-éves Hugo Ruiz (36-3, 31 KO), Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexikó, regained his WBC Super Bantamweight World Title with a devastating early knockdown with just 51 seconds into the 12-round fight against 23-year-old Július Ceja (30-2, 27 KO) of Atizapan De Zaragoza, Mexikó, in a highly anticipated rematch of their August fight won by Ceja.
Fighting just 10 miles west of his hometown of La Habra and before 7,780 enthusiastic fans, the 27-year-old Santa Cruz (32-0-1, 18 KO) continued to establish himself as the King of Southern California as he punished the game 29-year-old Martinez (35-7, 26 KO) Alicante, Valencia, Spanyolország, a 570 total punches in just five rounds. Voltak 1,038 total punches thrown during the fight.
The fans love it when two fighters go toe-to-toe,” Santa Cruz told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray after the fight. “I wanted to give the fans a great fight. I knew I could hurt him with a right hand. He’s a fighter and when he’s knocked down, he’s going to come back. In the fifth round I knew I had to finish him off and I did.
Santa Cruz continued, “We were going toe-to-toe from the beginning. He’s was throwing good punches I was throwing out good punches and the crowd was loving it. Then my dad told me to slow down and be smarter so we started boxing.
Santa Cruz wasted no time getting the upper hand as the opening bell rung. He knocked Martinez out twice in the first round; the first just 23 seconds into the fight and the second on a devastating right hand at two minutes into the round prompting SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING play-by-play announcer Mauro Ranallo to tell expert analyst Al Bernstein: “We may be able to get to Disneyland before the end of the night.
Martinez fell into a groove in the third and fourth rounds, but got into trouble two minutes into the fifth round as Santa Cruz had him up against the ropes connecting on numerous body shots, uppercuts and combinations before referee Raul Caiz Sr. signaled the end of the fight for Santa Cruz’s second straight world title defense in Southern California.
Martinez said that Santa Cruz, “started to move a lot and he broke my strategy and he fought a great fight. The second round I was getting looser and I was starting to feel much better.
He was like a bull coming forward really strong,” Santa Cruz added. “He has definitely been one of the strongest fighters I’ve been in the ring with yet.
Towards the end I said, ‘this is it, this is my opportunity to take him down. If I don’t finish him right here, it’s going to make it a really tough fight.So I said I was going at it with my all and thankfully it turned out the way that it did.
Santa Cruz, making his second defense after capturing the world title from Abner Mares back in August, said someday he wants to break the records for most punches thrown in a fight. “I wanted to throw as many punches as I can so the fans could get a good show.
Santa Cruz is now eyeing a future potential matchup with IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton at 126 pounds or Gary Russell. “I’m up for anyone,” ő mondta. “I want the rematch with (Abner) Anyák. Since Frampton won, if he’s ready to go up in weight, I’m ready for him. I challenge him to a fight whenever he’s ready.
In a rematch of the WBC Super Bantamweight World Title he lost last August, the new 122-pound champion Ruiz improved his record to 5-0 in rematches (öt kiütéssel) as he delivered a stunning first-round knockout against Ceja, who injured his right ankle on a powerful clean right just seconds into the fight sending him to the canvas.
Ceja got up slowly but was battered with a fury of punches and knocked out again with just 51 seconds into the fight ending the affair.
I was very prepared to knock him out, but I was prepared to go 12 forduló ma este also if I had to,” said Ruiz, who was teary and emotional following the victory. “I was happy to knock him out in the first round. I’m looking for the best fighters and the best money out there.
Said SHOWTIME analyst Paulie Malignaggi: “I’ve never seen a first-round KO that soon in a fight of this much importance.Added SHOWTIME’s Bernstein: “The right hand was the weapon of choice for Ruiz, and he got the job done. What a moment of redemption for Ruiz!”
Szemöldök, who beat Ruiz on a fifth-round knockout last August to win the world title, was hurt from the first series of Ruiz punches and never recovered in the intense first round.
Ceja was taken to nearby UC Irvine Hospital and diagnosed with a fractured right ankle.
I saw that he got hurt with the first punch and I saw his leg wobbling and so I said, ‘Let’s finish’,” Ruiz mondta. “And I did in that round.
Korábban Szombat Manchester, Anglia, tovább SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL, IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton unified the super bantamweight division with a split decision victory over WBA titlist Scott QUIGG.
The long-awaited matchup of unbeaten champions got off to a slow and tactical start, but Belfast native Frampton (22-0, 14 KO) established himself as the aggressor and worked his jab to pocket the early rounds. Quigg didn’t come alive until after the seventh, when trainer Joe Gallagher warned his charge that he was likely down big on the judges’ scorecards.
QUIGG (31-1-2) pounded the body and was the aggressor in rounds eight through 11, but it was too little, too late for the Lancashire, England native. Frampton won the 12th and walked away the unified champion by scores of 115-113 for Quigg, de 116-112 twice for Frampton.

Itt van, amit a harcosok kellett mondani Csütörtök:

 

LEO SANTA CRUZ

 

“Headlining a televised card has been my childhood dream. I could have never imagined I was going to get this far. And Here I am, on my second main event, defending my title on a premium network. I’m so psyched. I cannot believe it.

 

“The first time I put the gloves on, I knew that I had found my craft, and I also knew that it was not going to be an easy road. I knew that I had to work hard to become a champion. Így, I trained the hardest and I fought the hardest, and with my father by my side I got here, where I’m at today. I owe him everything.

 

“I remember watching all the great Mexican Champions and day dreaming about being like them one day. It felt unreachable. I thought it was impossible to get where they were. But I worked hard, really hard from the beginning.

 

“The most important thing is that the fans leave happy and get their money’s worth. I’m glad that Kiko has come prepared because we’re ready for a great fight.

 

“People are saying that I should walk through Kiko Martinez, but I don’t listen to that. I look at Kiko the same way I look at any other opponent. When we step inside the ring, we are equals.

 

- A nap végén, the winner will be the fighter who has prepared more and who has imposed his will on the other man.

 

 

KIKO MARTINEZ

 

“I have faced much stronger boxers than Leo and come Szombat, all of those who did bet on me for this fight, I am going to make you a lot of money.

 

“I am excited and proud to know that Sergio Martinez will be present szombat supporting me. His guidance and presence

 

“My trainer could not be here, but we have not taken one day off in training camp and I have been pushed to my limit to prepare me for this fight. I’m thankful to Robert Garcia for being in my corner szombat.

 

“I know this is a great opportunity to fight Leo Santa Cruz and I will make the most of it. I’m going to leave everything inside the ring so that the fight fans enjoy a great championship matchup.

 

“I feel that Leo Santa Cruz is a great fighter, he has beat some incredible fighters. He’s a great athlete and boxer. Sometimes people will try to make him out to be more than he actually is but they are mistaken with what they see in me. I am not to be mistaken as the underdog here.

 

 

JULIO CEJA
