Boxing’s Best Kept Secret Undefeated WBC Youth World lightweight champion JamaineThe Technician” Ortiz

WORCESTER, Mass. (Nóvember 5, 2019) – Undefeated World Boxing Youth World lightweight champion JamaineThe Technician” Ortiz (12-0, 6 Kos) er, kannski, the best prospect in the world who most boxing fans don’t know.

A large part of the problem, þó, is that the 23-year-old Ortiz, born and raised in the fighting city of Worcester, MA, never aspired to be a professional boxer, despite having a decorated amateur career.

He started boxing when he was six years old, thanks to National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame trainer Carlos Garcia, who has run the boxing program at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club for nearly 40 ár.

The naturally gifted Ortiz compiled an outstanding 100-14 áhugamaður met, highlighted by a silver medal at the 2015 National Golden Gloves Tournament, in which he lost in the championship final to future professional world champion Joselito Lopez, plus back-to-back gold medal performances at the New England Tournament of Champions in 2015 & 2016.

Testimony to Ortizpromising potential was his final amateur match, which was a solid victory against Abraham “Super” Nova, sem er 17-0 (13 Kos) eins og a faglegur, as well as the reigning North American Boxing Association champion, and rated by the World Boxing Association (WBA) as the No. 8 super featherweight in the world.

Turning pro wasn’t my end goal,” consummate boxer Ortiz said. “It really wasn’t on my mind. I focused on regional and national tournaments. I always thought I’d win an Olympic gold medal and then turn pro. I wish I had been better prepared to turn pro.

People that know me didn’t even realize that I had turned pro. It took a while before I adjusted, but I never really transitioned. Others had a game plan; I didn’t have a clue, but soon realized trophies I won in the amateurs weren’t going to pay the bills. Most of my fans today are other fighters and coaches.

When his Olympic dream ended, after he lost in the semifinals of the Olympic Trials, that’s when his promoter, Jimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports / CES), and co-adviser, Providence businessman Richard Shappy got involved in Ortizpro career. They’ve invested time, money and energy, believing in Ortiz and his tremendous potential.

“Í mörg ár,” explained Shappy, who advises Ortiz along with Eddie Imondi,” I kept telling Jimmy (Burchfield) that I was interested in getting involved with a boxer, but that it had to be the right one. One day Jimmy called to say this (Ortiz) is the one. I jumped onboard. He convinced me that Jamaine is a future world champion. We jumped in from his first fight, on the ground floor, and we believe he is going to be world champion.

Burchfield has promoted the likes of five-time world champion Vinny Paz, Bandarískt. OlympianJason Estrada, Ray Oliveira, Gary Balletto, Peter Manfredo, Jr. and many others during his 25-plus years in the boxing industry. “Jamaine is the best I’ve promoted since Vinny Paz,” Burchfield claimed without hesitation. “He’s one of the best prospects in the world today and someday he’ll be world champion. Some say he has the good looks ofOscar de la Hoya; others feel his style is like that ofSugar’ Ray Leonard.”

When his Olympic dream unceremoniously ended, he decided to turn pro in 2016, winning his pro debut when Josh Parker retired after one round. The highlight of his young pro career to date was winning an eight-round unanimous decision this past February from previously undefeated (10-0) Ricardo Quiroz to capture the vacant WBC Youth World lightweight title, the same belt once proudly worn by, kaldhæðnislega, the aforementioned Lopez, sem og Juan Diaz og Daniel Estrada.

Past CES-promoted fighters who were WBC World Youth champions include three-time world champion “Bad” Chad Dawson og pólsku þungavigtar Maruisz Wach.

In his last fight and first WBC World Youth title defense this past August, Ortiz won a dominating eight-round unanimous decision over 8-1-1 Romain Couture, pitching a shutout by winning each round on all three judges’ skorkort.

Ortiz’ time to star in the ring is coming. He is a diamond in the rough; ung, talented and with tremendous upside. He has a strong team behind him, including head coach Rocky Gonzalez and Garcia, who is still working his corner

Ortiz’ fan-base will eventually develop and quickly grow as more and more boxing fans discover this gifted boxer as he ascends to the top of the boxing mountain.
2020 promises to be theYear of The Technician,” Jamaine Ortiz.

Springfield, Massachusetts (May 11th, 2019):


In the first Murphys hnefaleika event of a multi fight deal with UFC Fight Pass, fans watched NABA Super Featherweight Champion, Abraham Nova (15-0, 11 Kos) stop Argentina’sMario Ezequiel Sayal Lozano (18-3-1, 9 Kos) in the second round of scheduled 10 round fight last night in Springfield, Massachusetts live from MGM Springfield.


Nova, who is currently ranked #10 in the WBA’s super featherweight world rankings, put on a near perfect performance in front of a packed crowd of ‘Supersupporters. After a tentative first round from both fighters, Nova found his range midway through the second and exploded on Lozano. Firing off a series of fast and powerful combinations to both the body and head, Nova dropped the only twice beaten, Lozano forcing the referee to call a halt to the contest at 2:26 into the second round.


I’m ready for anybody. Top 10. Top 2. The Champ. Anybody can get it. I’m the best kept secret in boxing. It’s time to make my national television debut and let the world know who Abraham ‘SuperNova is.”, said the outgoing and confident young prospect who sports a bleach blonde beard and has one of the most creative ring walks in all of boxing.


Nova’s promoter, Murphys Boxing founder, Ken Casey was thrilled with Nova’s performance and is anxious to get the 25 year old in a title eliminator with another Top 10 raðað bardagamaður.


He’s got the whole package. The look. Inngangur. The talent. The performance. The fan base. He’s accurate and sharp but he also punches with bad intentions. You can just tell he’s on a different level. He’s a world class fighter.


As for Nova’s immediate future, Casey confirmed he will be making his national TV debut in his next fight.


We’re finalizing a nationally televised fight for Abraham this summer against another Top 10 fighter that we will be announcing soon. Then I’d like to see him fight for the mandatory by the end of the year. We think he can win the big one, so it’s time to get him the opportunity. We’re incredibly excited about Nova’s future. He’s ready to be a star.

The co-main event saw Murphys Boxing’s own William Foster III (10-0, 7 Kos) absolutely dominate and drop Argentina’s Ramon Esperanza (22-16-1, 11 Kos) multiple times before the referee called a stop to the fight at 2:39 into the fourth round of a scheduled 8 umferð lota. Foster, the current Jr. NABF Super Featherweight Champion and younger brother of NABA Light Heavyweight Champion, Charles Foster, looked sensational, using a relentless body attack to overwhelm his more experienced opponent from the opening bell. The buzz on Foster continues to build in New England and he brought a vocal crowd from his hometown of nearby Hartford, Connecticut.


Recent Murphys Boxing signee, Venezuelan Olympian, Luis Arcon Diaz (7-0, 7 Kos) continued his knockout streak stopping Argentina’s Jose Aubel (8-4, 7 Kos) á 2:36 into the fourth round of a scheduled 6 round junior welterweight bout.


Local Springfield fighter, Derek Whitley Jr. (5-1-1) won a unanimous decision over Philadelphia’s Bryan Goldsby (5-11) í a 4 round welterweight fight. Goldsby had several moments throughout the fight but the MMA veteran didn’t stay busy enough against the counter-punching southpaw who won with decisions of 39-27 og 40-36 tvisvar.


2x Olympian from Ecuador, Carlos Gongora (16-0, 12 Kos) won a hard-fought unanimous decision over a game and rugged veteran, Damien Ezequiel Bonelli (23-6, 20 Kos) í a 10 round middleweight fight with scores of 99-91 og 98-92 tvisvar. Gongora, who is signed with Murphys Boxing, is the current WBC South American Middleweight Champion.


Springfield’s own Anthony Velazquez (6-0, 6 Kos) continued his impressive KO streak against an outgunned Bruno Diaz (0-6) dropping him twice in less than a minute into the first round of a 4 round welterweight bout before the referee waved off the contest at 1:32 for a 1st round TKO.


The hard-hitting Ray Jay Bermudez (7-0, 5 Kos) who hails from nearby Albany, New York unleashed a barrage of hard hooks dropping a helpless Patrick Leal (0-6) three times for a first round TKO at 1:35 seconds into a scheduled 4 round welterweight bout.


Boston based amateur standout, James Perella (3-0, 3 Kos) made easy work of Paulo DeSouza (0-14) dropping him twice in the first round before the referee called a stoppage 16 seconds into the second round of a scheduled 4 round welterweight fight after DeSouza was badly hurt by a straight right. It was Perella’s third fight in his first two months as a professional.


The event also saw the presentation of Murphys Boxing’s Warrior’s Code Award which has been established to honor legendary New England based fighters.

The 2x Olympian from Ecuador won the WBC South American Middleweight Title this past February in his native country against then undefeated Jesus Aviles with a highlight reel KO.


Gongora, who is on the cusp of a world ranking, is in talks for his national television debut this summer and is hoping a big win against a fellow power puncher like Bonelli will seal the deal.


In keeping with the event’s international spirit, Murphys Boxing latest signing, Luis Arcon Diaz (6-0, 6 Kos), an undefeated Olympian from Venezuela will return to action against Argentina’s Jose Aubel (8-3, 7 Kos) í a 6 round welterweight bout. Diaz who made his east coast debut last month against Zach Ramsey, looked sensational, dropping the usually durable veteran multiple times before scoring a second round stoppage to continue his KO streak.


Representing the Boston area, James Perella (2-0, 2 Kos), who turned professional last month on Murphys Boxing’s St. Patrick's Day Clash and followed up his knockout debut just two weeks later on Murphy’s Mayhem at Melrose kort, will look to make it 3 straight KOs when he takes on an opponent to be named in a 4 round welterweight bout.


Rounding out the card will be two of Springfield’s own, léttur, Calixto Cruz (1-0) og welterweight DJ Whitley (4-1-1) who will both appear in separate 4 round contests against opponents to be named.


We’re incredibly excited to make our debut on UFC Fight Pass. Dana (White) is a good friend and we’re thankful that he’s taken notice of the incredible roster of fighters that Murphys Boxing currently has.”, says Murphys Boxing founder, Ken Casey.


We’re excited to have a platform for combat sports fans around the world to experience the thriving boxing scene we have created here in New England and to introduce them to several fighters, like Abraham Nova, who we feel will be world champions. To promote the first ever boxing event to be held at an incredible venue like MGM Springfield and to have it air live as our debut on UFC Fight Pass is going to make for a historic night for Murphys Boxing.

FINAL MARKAÐSUPPLÝSINGAR:
 
RONALD ELLIS 
 
„Þetta er í fjórða skiptið sem ég er meðShoBox, í þetta skiptið verð ég að hafa það rétt, í þetta skiptið þarf ég að fara út með hvelli.
 
„Ég ætla að sýna margt, Ég ætla að sýna box, slá, hvað sem þeir vilja sjá munum við koma með.
 
“Ég æfði í nýju hnefaleikaræktinni Buddy McGirt í Northridge, Calif. Ég sparnaði Canelo Alvarez fyrir síðasta bardaga hans og var í herbúðum með Sergey Kovalev fyrir bardaga hans um helgina.
 
„Ég lærði mikið af Canelo og Kovalev. Mér finnst eins og sparnaður við þá hafi gefið mér forskot, svo ég mun líta út eins og allt annar bardagamaður þarna inni. Canelo er þéttari og hann kemur aðeins hraðar. Kovalev, hann er stór og hann er ofurgestgjafi.
 
“DeAndre Ware er harður. Hann er bara algjör harðjaxl sem kemur til að berjast. Hann fékk mikið hjarta og hann ætlar bara að gera það sem hann þarf að gera. Hann ætlar ekki að standa og hreyfa sig. Hann ætlar að vera þarna alla nóttina nema ég komi honum út. Ég held að leikáætlun hans sé bara að koma inn og gera það sem hann gerir.
 
“Ég held að það sé fullkominn bardagi fyrir SHOWTIME. Þessi verður skemmtilegur."
 
 
DeANDRE WARE
 
"Ég er tilfinning mikill, tilfinning sterkur. Við vorum með fullar búðir að þessu sinni svo ég er að leita að góðum hlutum. Æfingabúðirnar mínar voru um sex til átta vikur í Glass City Gym í Toledo. Fyrir það, Ég var í herbúðum Tony Harrison og hjálpaði honum að búa sig undir að berjast (Jermell) Charlo.
 
„Sparring var frábært, þetta var sennilega besti sparringurinn og bestu búðirnar sem ég hef átt hingað til. Ég hafði aðeins um 12 daga til að undirbúa mig fyrir síðasta bardagann minn og ég er í miklu betra formi að þessu sinni. Ég held að það eigi eftir að skipta miklu máli í þessum bardaga á morgun.
 
“Ronald Ellis er bara annar strákur á mínum vegi. Ég held að Ellis sé harður bardagamaður. Af því sem ég hef séð, hann er framsóknarmaður. Hann reynir að boxa aðeins - það er kunnátta. Ég ber virðingu fyrir hverjum þeim sem kemst í þann hring, en koma bardagatími, allt þetta dót fer út um dyrnar. Ég kem til að vinna."
 
 
THOMAS MATTICE
 
„Það er frábær tilfinning að koma aftur tilShoBox í fjórða sinn. Síðasta berjast minn [jafntefli gegn Hamazaryan] var mikill bardagi, mjög spennandi bardagi, en ég hélt að ég bætti þessu fimm umferðir í þrjár. Við ætlum að gera það sem við verðum að gera til að tryggja að þessi bardagi verði ekki svona."
 
„Ef ég nota hæfileika mína og getu mína til að nota hringinn ætti það að hjálpa mér á morgun. Ég veit í raun ekki mikið um andstæðing minn, Ég hef ekki fylgst með honum síðan hann var andstæðingur í síðustu sekúndu og ég fékk hann fyrir svona tveimur vikum.
 
„Æfingabúðirnar voru frábærar. Við vorum að æfa fyrir suðurfót og svo skiptu þeir um hann þegar andstæðingurinn skipti en ég er öruggur og mér finnst ég vera tilbúinn.
 
"Ég er betri en það sem ég hef sýnt í fortíðinni. Áætlun mín er að sýna það á morgun."
 
WILL MADERA
 
"Mér finnst frábært, Ég er sjálfsöruggur og ég er að spá í að setja upp sýningu. Ég átti frábærar búðir, Ég æfði mikið og hef engar áhyggjur.
 
„Fyrir morgundaginn, lykillinn er þrýstingur, greindur þrýstingur. Ég vil ekki koma yfir sjálfan mig en samt halda pressunni á honum.
 
„Stíll okkar ætti að gera spennandi bardaga. Ef ég næ pressunni þá verður það skemmtilegur bardagi
 
[Hamazary-baráttan] var umdeilt. Fyrsti bardagi var mjög náinn bardagi og ég held að ef ég beiti sömu pressu og berst skynsamlegri, Ég næ sigur.
 
„Ég hef beðið eftir tækifæri sem þessu. Nú þarf ég bara að klára verkið.“

“Á þessu ári, Ég verð að framkvæma. Nú er kominn tími til að framkvæma. Ég þarf bara að halda áfram að berjast, og ef það gerist þá finnst mér ég vera í biðröð fyrir titilslag á næsta ári. Það er mikið af hæfileikum í deildinni, og nú er kominn tími til að hnoða saman og berjast allir hver við annan. Mér finnst ég geta keppt við úrvalsdeild deildarinnar.”

Þegar talað er um Patriots, Ellis kviknar. Hann hefur verið aðdáandi liðsins síðan hann var unglingur og ólst upp í úthverfi Boston.

“Þetta verður frábær leikur. Það er kaldhæðnislegt, Ég flutti til Los Angeles til að þjálfa fyrir nokkrum árum, og síðustu vikuna hef ég bara heyrt um hrútana. Það hefur verið gaman að ræða leikinn með strákunum í ræktinni, en ég mun alltaf vera fulltrúi Patriots. Ég ætla að koma Massachusetts fylki vel af stað á föstudaginn, og Patriots verða með uppréttan arm á sunnudaginn.”

“It is a pleasure and an honor for me to be able to accompany a future world champion in his career,” said Alain Vanackère from 12 Round. “What an incredible opportunity to be able to live this unique experience with two esteemed promoters, GCP and Murphy’s Boxing. I think we will have a lot of success and pleasure working together.”

Cohen says he’s not sure which 130-lb champion will be targeted (WBC: Miguel Berchelt, WBA: Gervonta Davis, IBF: Tevin Farmer and WBO: Masayuki Ito), but the plan is to move swiftly.

“We will immediately begin plans to put Abraham in against rated fighters and get him up the ladder as quickly as possible,"Sagði hann. “This young man has shown every indication he is ready for the next level of boxing. It’s a very exciting time to be in the Abraham Nova business.”
