FRANCISCO ‘CHIA’ SANTANA TO MAKE PBC DEBUT

Lämna en kommentar

WELTERWEIGHT CONTENDER ADDED TO THE TELEVISED UNDERCARD OF PORTER VS. UGAS – LIVE ON FOX – MARCH 9TH



Ventura, Kalifornien: Februari 18, 2019


Francisco ‘Chia’ Santana (25-6-1, 12 Kos) kommer att göra sitt PBC debut on the televised undercard of the WBC Welterweight World Championship Fight mellan Shawn Porter och Yordenis Ugás leva på Fox på March 9th at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Kalifornien.


Santana will face Arizona’s Abel Ramos (23-3-2, 18 Kos) in what promises to be an action packed battle between two aggressive fighters both coming off victories, with the winner in line to face an opponent from PBC’s deep welterweight stable later this year.


Santana, who is coming off one of the biggest upsets of 2018 when he defeated OS-guldmedaljör och världstitelutmanare, Felix Diaz, is currently ranked #14 i WBC.


“It’s crazy how much can change in a year.” explains, Santana.


“Last year at this time I was coming off back to back controversial losses that I felt I had won. My promoter had dropped me. I couldn’t find a fight. I had been out of the ring for a year. It looked like my career was over. I actually landed the Diaz fight because a friend entered me in an online contest to be an alternate fighter for a WBC tournament. The fans voted me in and when a fighter was injured, I was bumped up into the main tournament. I knew no one was giving me a chance to beat Diaz who was the favorite to win the whole tournament but when I’m overlooked that’s when I’m the most dangerous. The win landed me in the WBC’s Top 15 rankings allowing me to now be able to fight for their world title. I believe I am only one or two fights away from that opportunity and no one is going to stand in my way.”


Having worked with several promoters throughout his 14 år yrkeskarriär, Santana is happy to be featured on a major Premier Boxning Champions händelse.


“The amount of world class welterweights that PBC has is unreal, Inklusive 4 av 5 current world champions. It’s literally a who’s who of the division. I’m beyond excited to be able to make my PBC debut on Fox in primetime on the undercard of the WBC welterweight title fight. I have nothing but respect for a fellow hard working fighter like Ramos and I expect a war but I intend to make a statement on March 9th and come out victorious.”


Santana, a Santa Barbara native who lives and trains in Ventura, California atKnuckleHeadz Boxing Gym with trainer, Joseph “Hoss” Janik, is a favorite amongst hardcore boxing fans for his relentless in ring style and his fight anyone, någonstans, anytime attitude that has seen him give multiple future world champions all they could handle. Dessutom, he’s widely considered one of the friendliest fighters in the entire sport.


“I follow the golden rule. Treat others how you want to be treated. I’m a boxer but I’m a also massive boxing fan. Nothing is better than going to the fights and talking boxing with other fans. I’m no different than them. I wake up and run. I go to work all day with an hour commute back and forth. I hit the gym at night. I spend what little time I have left with my family. Then I go to sleep exhausted. I haven’t caught many breaks in this sport but I still haven’t given up on my dream of being a world champion. In life or in boxing, my motto is train, slagsmål, win. I think that’s something everyone can relate to.”
FRANCISCO ‘CHIA’ SANTANA CAREER HIGHLIGHTS


Former WBA International Champion
Has wins over 4 former world champions and challengers
Has a draw against world title challenger, Julian Williams
Has gone the distance with world champions like Jermell Charlo
Has taken the “Den” från 3 different prospects including Eddie Gomez
His 1st round KO of undefeated Kendal Mena was ESPN’s #2 Play of the Day

CARSON, CALIF. (Februari 14, 2019) – Veteran contender and two-time title challenger Andrzej Fonfara has withdrawn from his match against Edwin Rodriguez that was scheduled to be part of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes on Saturday, Mars 9 from Dignity Health Sports Park, formerly StubHub Center, i Carson, Kalifornien.

Stepping in as the replacement co-feature is a 10-round, all-action welterweight showdown between hard-hittingAbel Ramos och krigsvanaFrancisco “Del” Santana. Coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT and is headlined by WBC Welterweight World ChampionShawn Portermaking his first title defense in primetime against mandatory challengerYordenis Ugas.

Tickets for the live event, som främjas av TGB Erbjudanden, finns det erbjudanden nu. Biljetter kan köpas på AXS.com.

The 31-year-old Fonfara announced that he is retiring from boxing, prompting him to withdraw from the fight against Rodriguez on Wednesday.

“There is no more enthusiasm and above all no more of the motivation and adrenaline that gave me the desire to go into the ring and compete,” Fonfara said. “I am healthy. Everything is okay. But I no longer have the heart for boxing.”

Ramos (23-3-2, 18 Kos) has put together four technical knockout victories since losing a hard-fought majority decision to welterweight contender Jamal James in front of James’ hometown crowd in Minneapolis on April 13, 2018. The 27-year-old from Casa Grande, Arizona proved against James that he’s a formidable opponent for anyone in the 147-pound division.

Santana (25-6-1, 12 Kos) needs an impressive victory over Ramos to remain a force in the welterweight division. The 31-year-old Santana of Santa Barbara, California is coming off a majority decision over the always-tough Felix Diaz and owns victories over then unbeaten fighters Eddie Gomez and Kendal Mena.

“Jag slog honom med ett anständigt skott när jag gick ner honom och såg att jag skadade honom,” Joe Smith Jr. förklarade. “Så, Jag såg ut för att avsluta det. Jag skulle ha velat ha fått lite rost, men jag är nöjd med min prestanda. Min käke känns bra.”

 

 

 

“Vi vill gå till toppen,” Smiths promotor Joe DeGuardia angivna. “Joe’s plan and goal has always been to be world champion. We wanted (Sergey) Kovalev before this fight, but it didn’t work out. We’re hoping to get him in the fall.”

Coming off her historic fight this past May against the undefeated Queen of Boxing Cecelia Breakhus, who won a 10-round decision in the first female fight to air on HBO, three-time world champion Kali “KO Mequinonoag” Reis (14-7-1, 4 Kos) cruised past Mexican welterweight Patty “Las Elegante” Ramirez (11-6, 5 Kos), en före detta VM-titel utmanare, winning all eight rounds.

I tv-öppnaren, obesegrad junior välvikt “Åtgärd” Anthony Laureano (8-0 3KO: s) levde upp till sitt smeknamn, aldrig ta ett bakåtsteg, när han dunade Juan Rodriguez (8-10-1 6KO: s) i mitten av ringen från öppningsklockan genom slutet för ett dominerande sex-rundars enhälligt beslut. Den 2016 New England Golden Gloves-mästare Laureano, som kämpar från East Hartford, CT, sätta på en underhållande show framför hans stora, högt kontingent av fans. Laureano använde effektivt varje slag i sitt stora arsenal för att bryta ner en tuff, spel Rodriguez.

 

 

 

“Jag trodde att jag gjorde det bra,” Laureano sa efter kampen, “men jag skulle vilja se fler vinklar. Jag vill se mer kraft, alltför. Det är där, han kände det; det kommer. Jag har en lång väg. Nästa kamp, Jag skulle vilja ha en åtta rundare. Vi lägger till fler personer i teamet. Jag hoppas att alla ser att jag blir bättre varje kamp. Jag har fler verktyg och min disciplin är där.”

 

 

 

Undefeated junior mellanvikt Wendy “Haitiska eld” Toussaint (9-0, 3 Kos) tände en överväldigad Andy Gonzalez (6-3, 5 Kos), slog honom från pelaren till stolpen, tills domare Steve Willis vinkade av kampen i tredje omgången. Haiti-infödda Toussaint, bor nu i Huntington, NY, använde sin överlägsna kraft och hastighet för att göra ett imponerande uttalande.

 

 

 

Populära South Boston Southpaw Joe Farina (3-0, 2 Kos) övervann en blixtnedslag under kampens öppningssekunder, använder en obeveklig attack för att besegra junior välvikt Steve Moore (1-4, 1 KO), genom ett beslut om fyra omgångar.

 

 

 

Irish junior welterweight “Dödlig” Larry Fryers (tidigare känd som Gleeson) förbättrade sitt rekord till 7-1 (2 Kos) med ett enhälligt beslut om sex omgångar över Anthony Woods (1-7-1). Slåss från Yonkers NY, Stekar svävade Woods med en vänster krok i slutet av runda två. Woods straffades en punkt nära slutet av den sista omgången för en avsiktlig rumpa.

 

 

 

Tidigare U. av New Haven basketstjärna Cassius Chaney (13-0, 7 Kos), kämpar från New London (CT), höll sitt obesegrad rekord intakt, släpper mexikansk tungvikt Äldste Hernandez (5-3, 3 Kos) två gånger innan domaren Willis stoppade matchen nära slutet av öppningsrundan.

 

 

 

Kvällens öppningsrunda slutade i andra omgången och styrde a “Ingen strid” på grund av en oavsiktlig rumpa som lämnade båda kämparna — William “The Silent Assassin” Foster III (8-0, 6 Kos) och Tyrome Jones (4-3-1, 1 KO) – med allvarliga huvudskärningar och inte kan fortsätta.

“Jag är så upphetsad över att kämpa hemma igen, särskilt efter vår historiska kamp mot HBO. Jag kämpade med Cecilia Braekhus. Vi var de första kvinnorna som någonsin kämpade på HBO och det var mer än en miljon tittare. Om jag visste att många skulle titta på, Jag skulle ha varit mycket mer nervös.”

 

 

 

“På papperet, det var en förlust, men det var verkligen en win-win för mig, och kvinnors boxning. Det har redan öppnat många dörrar för mig. Det har varit så mycket tillväxt för mig och kvinnors boxning. Det kommer att öppna dörren för andra kvinnor att slåss i nätverk. Det var ett steg upp för kvinnors boxning, inte bara för ett evenemang, men för evigt.”

 

 

 

“Jag är den första kvinnliga indian som slåss i New England.”

“Being a road warrior, I’m familiar fighting away or at home, but it’s more comfortable fighting here at home. My hometown crowd is always very supportive.”

 

 

 

“(Lördag) I am going to come out with a victory. My opponent’s taller, but I just need to follow the game plan and execute.”

KALI REIS AND ANTHONY LAUREANO
LOOK TO IMPRESS IN THEIR “HEMKOMST” BOUTS AT MOHEGAN SUN ON JUNE 30TH

REIS OF RHODE ISLAND RETURNS FOR HER THIRD BOUT AT MOHEGAN SUN
LAUREANO OF CONNECTICUT RETURNS FOR HIS SECOND BOUT AT MOHEGAN SUN

Uncasville, Conn. (jUNE 25, 2018) –With June 30th rapidly approaching, the hype for STAR BOXING’S “SLUGFEST at the SUN” continues to build as two of the premier fighters on the card will be making their New England homecoming. In the co-feature bout, KALI “KO MEQUINONOAG” REIS (13-7-1 4KO: s) av Providence, Rhode Island will be making her third appearance at Mohegan Sun against PATY “LA ELEGANTE” RAMIREZ (11-5 5KO: s). Adding to the excitement, Connecticut egen “ACTION” ANTHONY LAUREANO (7-0 3KO: s) of East Hartford is set to make his return home at Mohegan Sun in his bout against JUAN de la CRUZ RODRIGUEZ (8-9-1 6KO: s).

 

 

 

Rhode Island’s Native Warrior, Kali Reis, is no stranger to bright lights and pressure. Coming off an impressive performance on HBO against undisputed champion and #1 pound-for-pound female fighter in the world, Cecilia Braekhus, Reis looks to return home, tillbaka till New England och lägger ut sin fulla krigareanda på Mohegan Sun.

 

 

 

När han kommenterar hennes kommande kamp, Reis hade detta att säga, “Fans kan förvänta sig att se en ännu mer beslutsam, skicklig, hungrig, utvecklas WARRIOR där inne! Kampen mot HBO med Braekhus var en sådan inlärningsupplevelse och jag är tacksam för att jag gjorde historia i inte bara kvinnors boxning utan även min egen personliga resa.”

 

 

 

Förra gången Reis kämpade vid Mohegan Sun var i november förra året. Hon är glad över att ha kommit hem.

 

 

 

“Jag är glad över att vara hemma igen’ på Mohegan Sun 30 juni,” sa Rhode Island inföding. “Star Boxing har alltid actionfyllda slagsmål som belyser detta vackra område. Mina fans älskar att komma till Mohegan Sun. Det finns ingen dålig plats i huset och deras gästfrihet är fantastisk. Joe DeGuardia håller mig väldigt produktiv sedan vi undertecknade med honom i november. Jag är så nöjd med beslutet själv och manager Brian fattade att underteckna med dem.”

 

 

 

En annan lokal krigare på kortet att titta på är Anthony Laureano. Laureano fick smeknamnet “Åtgärd” för hans obevekliga, kommande framåt kampstil. Om East Hartford infödda är i ringen, fans kan alltid förvänta sig en spännande show från början till slut. Star Boxing “Slugfest på solen” tar alltid fyrverkerier till Connecticut, och Laureano ser ut att fortsätta traditionen med sin hemkomst på Mohegan Sun.

 

 

 

Laureano frågades vad han kommer att ge fansen på Mohegan Sun, och hans svar var helt enkelt, “Samma sak ser de alltid, åtgärd. Åtgärd, det är allt. Folket kommer att betala pengar och de kommer att få det de betalade för. Till och med i min sista kamp, folk fick vad de betalade för. De kom för att se handling och se någon komma fram. De vill inte se någon dansa runt. Jag säger inte att stilen är dålig, Jag kan göra det också, men människor gillar två killar som kommer fram och vill slåss. Jag är den kämpen. Jag är den fighter som alltid vill slåss.”

 

 

 

Denna kamp mot Rodriguez kommer att markera tredje gången i sin karriär som Laureano kämpar på Mohegan Sun.

 

 

 

På frågan om arenan, det var vad Laureano hade att säga, “Jag älskar Mohegan…Mohegan är mitt hem. Det finns ingen plats som det. Jag älskar ringen, allt är bara så vackert. Atmosfären, folkmassan, min hemstad publik är där, and when they’re there it’s loud…Mohegan är mitt hem, ingen tvekan. The casino treats me good, and when I go there I feel this is where I belong. I’ve never felt that anywhere else.

 

 

 

I den viktigaste händelsen i “SLUGFEST at the SUN” on June 30th, JOE SMITH JR. will make his long anticipated return to the ring against tough Kentuckian, MELVIN RUSSELL. After eleven months out of the ring due to a broken jaw, den “Vanlig man”, Union Local 66 arbetare, Joe Smith Jr. återvänder till den vackra Mohegan Sun Arena i Uncasville, Connecticut.

Psychic Tom Predicts Win For Mark Hunt; Rabble Rousin’ Rich Opens the Show with Demetrious Johnson vs. Dana White Rant; Tony the Tornado rips Stevenson/Fonfara on this week’s FNU Combat Sports Show

Lämna en kommentar

Rich Bergeron opens this week’s FNU Combat Sports show by giving his unique take on the Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson feud with the UFC brass, namely Dana White. Upon refusing to take a fight with T.J. Dillashaw without getting certain assurances and conditions met, many fans on social media insisted DJ was running scared. Even Dillashaw took the opportunity to blast the move by the flyweight champ as “chickenshit.” Dana White even reportedly threatened to shut down the entire flyweight division if Johnson refused to fight TJ. “Mighty Mouse” didn’t blink and didn’t cave to the organization’s demands, and Rich explains in his opening dialogue why DJ should be respected and given the benefit of the doubt for his decision rather than being criticized and dragged through the mud for standing up for himself.

 

During the rest of the broadcast, Tony “Tornado” Penecale details his night out at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia for a fight card headlined by Hank Lundy. He also recaps Fonfara vs. Stevenson II and calls the fight “a disgrace.”

 

“Psychic” Tom Padgett chips in with some post-fight analysis of Aldo vs. Holloway. He also predicts Mark Hunt will benefit from home cage advantage in his battle with Derrick Lewis this weekend at UFC Fight Night 110 in New Zealand.

 

There’s also an update on Hunt’s lawsuit against the UFC and Brock Lesnar and lots of other fight previews and recaps. Listen to the whole broadcast to catch up on what’s new in combat sports this week.
