Jumatano, Mei 22, 2024 - Week eight of Team Combat League’s exciting second season began with a shock upset, as the league-leading Philly Smoke (4-1) watched their formerly undefeated record disappear against a determined Boston Butchers team (2-1-1) by a score of 226-225.

Fighting at their home base of the Royale in Boston, the Butchers broke open a tightly fought match in Round 19 with the second of two 10-8 knockdown rounds scored by the night’s honorary first star, Alejandro Paulino, against Philadelphia’s Francisco Rodriguez making the ultimate difference.

The Philly Smoke, coached by Bob Kane, had every reason to feel confident coming into the match, with their last appearance coming in a dominant 233-221 victory over the Miami Stealth on May 2, while the Butchers, coached by Marc Gargaro, were coming off a disappointing 228-217 loss to the Atlanta Attack on May 11.

The Butchers’ strong performances by Team Captain Rashidi Ellis, heavyweight Skylar Lacy, making his first appearance of the second season, and the two knockdowns Paulino scored in his two fights, one over Philly’s Nahir Albright in Round 11 and Rodriguez in Round 19 carried the day in a nail-biter that went down to the final round.

The night got off to an exciting start, as Philly’s Avery Sparrow and Boston’s Elijah Peixoto engaged in a non-stop slugfest in Round 3, with Peixoto nipping it 10-9 on the cards.

Heavyweight Skylar Lacy, a force in TCL’s first season, returned to first defeat throwback Philly heavyweight favorite Joey Dawejko in Round 8 and then gained revenge in a rematch from last season against Conja Nathan in Round 16.

The Fight of the Night was judged to be the Round 22 women’s back-and-forth battle between Philly’s Shamara Woods and Boston’s Stevie Jane Coleman, won by Coleman 10-9. Philadelphia’s Brittany Sims was named the night’s second star for her 10-8 victory over Boston’s Leesh Pike in Round 2.

“I’ve been working hard man,” said a happy Mailata. “I’ve been in Vegas for five years now and I’ve been in the gym just getting my work in and TCL has given me the opportunity to do what I do. Greg Hardy is a tough guy, but I came to win, and I came to put on a show for my ancestors and my family and I did that.”

Mailata says he’s proud of his teammates and their determination to pull out the “must win,” rounds. “I’m with some dangerous guys (on this team) and I know how it goes down in Vegas. Some of these homies have just been waiting around for their chance. One thing I know is if I take care of my job, everybody else will take care of theirs.”

Other performances of special distinction came from Dallas’ Avoran Graham and Las Vegas’ Joseph Macedo, who battled to the Fight of the Night award in their bruising three-minute encounter.

The lime green-haired Darian Castro and Dallas’ Jalen Moore put on a dazzling display in their Round 4 kupambana, with both men having their impressive moments.

(The fact that Vegas is coming off a win over the Houston Hitmen) That don’t matter to us, we come to do what we come to do. We’re coming for everyone and we’re going to win!"

In an uncommon TCL result, San Antonio’s Amin Mitchell, whose eye was cut by an accidental head butt in his first fight, had his cut reopened by a dragging shot from LA opponent Alex Esponda in Round 14. The fight between Mitchell and Moreno was waved off and scored a 10-10 No Decision.

Brooks, 28, has traveled on a particularly rough journey through the years, overcoming many obstacles, including homelessness, to become a legitimate boxing prospect.

“I felt that Toro treated me the best and showed me the most respect of any promoter,” Brooks explained why he signed with Toro. “I needed to sign with a promoter to get my career going. It’s tough being a free agent. Toro believes in me like I do, others didn’t. Signing with Toro is a good choice for me.”

I lived out of my car and in foster homes, but I wouldn’t change anything. Looking back, it made me who I am. and the love of this sport pulled me through because I felt it could help me be somebody. I’ve had a lot of good experiences and met a lot of good people.”

Brooks watches a lot of fights, particularly old-school classics, and the first boxer that he picked things up from was Roy Jones, Jr., along with James Toney and Pernell Whitaker. His goals include positioning himself for a world title shot in late 2025, early 2026.

Providence police officer Kyana Williams captured a bronze medal at prestigious National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions

K Williams.jpg

PROVIDENCE (Mei 28, 2024) –Providence police officer Kyana “Special Kay” Williams, a 2024 New England Golden Gloves Champion, captured a bronze medal in the welterweight (146-chupa) division at the recent National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions hosted by the City of Detroit.

The National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions features a Who’s Who of amateur boxing in the United States. Virtually every great U.S. boxer since 1928 has competed in this prestigious competition.

Williams shutout Zamyla Thurman-Houston in the opening round by way of a unanimous decision, 5-0, and she was edged in the semifinals round, 3-2, by Brianna Gulia, the eventual runner-up.

“I proved that I’m one of the best in the country,” an ecstatic Williams said about her performance. “I’m really excited about it.”

Williams, a resident of Providence, is coached by David Keefe and Joshua Lemar at Bishop’s Boxing in Bridgewater and Veloz Boxing in Providence.

Team Williams.jpg

TEAM WILLIAMS (R-L) – Joshua Lemar, Kyana Williams and Dave Keefe

“She came out of nowhere,” coach Keefe explained. “Three years ago, I was training fighters and Kyana was in the gym. I told her that when she was ready to contact me, I’d train her. We started together four months ago and look at what she’s done. She could turn pro right now, but I’d like to keep working on a few more things before she does.”

Williams had several obstacles to overcome to get where she’s at in life as well as boxing. When Keefe first saw her, Kyana wasn’t ready to commit to boxing, largely because of her new career as a police officer. Leo, she is in her eighth year as a member of the Providence Police Department, patrolling the North End of the city. She recently made the Detective list, and she expects to be promoted very soon.

Because her work schedule is between 6:45 a.m. NA na 2:45 p.m. NA, she is able to juggle her vocation and boxing. Her typical day starts at 5 a.m. for strength-and-conditioning training, followed by a morning run, and she does her boxing workouts at night.

“I’m an early riser,” she admitted, “so I don’t have any trouble (managing her time). I do have a job to do, rules are rules and laws are laws, and I try to make people’s days easier when I go on call. Katika pete, ingawa, I give my opponents a hard time.”

Williams started in combat sports as a kickboxer when she was 13, competed for the first time when she was 15, and she first started boxing in 2013. She took seven years off from boxing, although she always popped into the gym like she did when she met Keefe.

“I was policing, but you can’t play boxing,” she admitted. “I wasn’t all in (ndondi). It was like riding a bike. I’ve learned a few things that have helped me in boxing. I have to be calm doing police work like I do in the ring. The level of confidence I have as a police officer helps me in the ring, pia.

There were a couple of other issues. Katika 2015, she and her father were both shot during a home invasion. Williams was shot below the hip, her father in the toe. Doctors chose not to take out the bullet because of potential nerve damage and/or infection, believing exercising would safely move the bullet away from nerve damage. “If I ran six miles,” she noted, “my leg would go numb. I needed to build strength in my left and, as long as I do yoga and stretch, I’m good now.”

During her respite from boxing, Williams added weight and when she was ready to commit to boxing, she needed to lose weight and lost 65 paundi.

“When I saw Dave,” the 27-year-old Williams added, “ I knew I had to get back in shape before I contacted him about training me. It was the best decision I ever made.”

One other pertinent question is if she will remain boxing as an amateur or turn pro.

“I’m happy being part of USA Boxing,” she concluded, “but I’ll listen if the right deal is offered. I did open a lot of eyes at The National Golden Gloves.”
