Benson di Brooklyn, New York ha un record di 15-1 con 14 ko e ha vinto dodici combattimenti diritte con undici di quelli provenienti per via arresto.
“È tutto a posto. It is the same old training camp for me,” detto il 30 year-old Benson.
Boone di Atlanta, Georgia è conosciuto come uno dei”out più difficili” nello sport e può avere record di più ingannevole nella boxe che legge 20-21-4 con nove ko.
I know he has fought everybody and he sneaks up on prospects. To me that doesn’t matter. All I do is fight.
He has lost 21 times and as soon as I figure him out, I will handle my business like I always do. This is just another night for me.
Benson turned professional since 2008 believes his career should be further along and he is ready for big opportunities.
I Should be fighting 10 e 12 round fights. I have been asking for those 10 e 12 round fights but they keep giving me these kinds of fights.
Benson knows that with a win il Sabato, he may get his wish as there will be opportunities in the Super Middleweight division.
There are a lot of 168 pound fighters out there. The way I look at it is that if you are not Andre Ward, then I don’t think to highly of any of them. Right now the bigger names are ducking me but I know that I have to wait my time.
All I do is just fight and this fight will be like my last 12 combattimenti. I will come out victorious and you can expect that.

Prize Promotions Tabs Russell Peltz and Brittany “Bam” Rogers for Matchmaking Duties

Danbury, CT (Aprile 16, 2015)- At the beginning of April, newly licensed Connecticut boxing promoter A.J. Galante introduced his company, Promozioni Prize. Galante spoke of his goal of bringingOld Schoolboxing to Connecticut.

To prove he is serious about his vision, Galante has turned his matchmaking over to Hall of Fame Philadelphia promoter, Russell Peltz along with one of the sports youngest and most promising promoters and matchmakers, Brittany “BAM

Rogers.

Russell is the definition of Old School matchmaking, he’s one of the last out there, so it was a no brainer for me to reach out to him, and I am honored that he is willing to work with me.” Galante ha dichiarato, “His resume speaks for itself, I am extremely confident that working together, we will put on spectacular showsGalante was also extremely excited to work with BrittanyBAM” Rogers, who works in conjunction with Russell Peltz,

I’m often referred to as one of the youngest boxing people on the business side of things, but BAM is actually younger than me, and has been in the sport longer than me. I have a lot of respect for her and have been learning a lot through working with her.

Ultimately Galante said what cemented his choice on his matchmakers, was a trip to Philladelphia in October, to attend a show promoted by both Peltz and Rogers, “When you think Philly boxing, you think gritty and exciting, and you can’t think Philadelphia boxing without Russell Peltz and Brittany Rogers, and I am looking forward to bringing those types of shows and that environment here to Connecticut.It won’t be long for Galante to fulfill his promise, as his first show Danbury Fight Night, si terrà il30 Maggio al Danbury Arena, in his hometown of Danbury, CT.

The card is currently taking shape, and will be announced soon. I biglietti possono essere acquistati visitando www.prizepromotions.netPricing: $100,$75, $50 & $25

Verona,New York (Aprile 15) – Training camp is going smoothly for former WBC Light Weight Champion Lucas “La Maquina” Matthysse and Former WBO Jr. campione dei pesi welter “Il Siberian Rocky” Ruslan Provodnikov as they continue to prepare for their showdown on Sabato, Aprile 18 al Turning Stone Resort Casino. The junior welterweight fight will be televised as part of a split site doubleheader live on HBO Boxing After Dark®, con inizio alle 9:45 p.m. E/PT.

Matthysse has been training out his gym in Argentina and Provodinkov has been training out of the famed Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, California under the watchful eye of International Boxing Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach.

Both fighters arrived at Turning Stone Resort Casino today and took some time to do a photo-op at the hotel and answer a few questions about their training camp.

Below is what they had to say:


How do you feel about the fight and when did you begin training?

Lucas Matthysse: I have been training non-stop, way before the fight was officially announced. I have been doing a lot of sparring to improve my speed and make sure I make as much contact with my opponent as possible.

Ruslan Provodnikov: I am excited and motivated for this fight, I will not disappoint my fans and it will be a real war! Everything is going great with my training and will be ready for a really war in the ring.

How are you preparing to face each other?

Matthysse: Ruslan is a great fighter, he comes prepared for a war. My strategy against him will be to make sure to box and keep moving, that is why sparring has been really important in my training.

Provodnikov: I will be ready for whatever Matthysse does. IO 100% percent believe that this fight will be the fight of the year. I always give everything I can in training camp and I’m very responsible. Non prendo nessuno alla leggera, ma per rispondere alla tua domanda: walking into the ring with a fighter that I know will fight back will definitely show that what I can do as a boxer than going up against a fighter who will just run.

What should fans expect to see on Aprile 18?

Matthysse: Fans can expect one of the greatest fights in the division. I know I am ready to win this fight and fans should expect a victory.

Provodnikov: Prometto questo sta per essere la lotta voi ragazzi sono tutti in attesa per.

Biglietti in vendita Domani!

BROOKLYN (Aprile 15, 2015) – Boxing superstar Amir “Re” Caravanserraglio (30-3, 19 KO) returns to the ring to take on former world champion (20-1, 8 KO) su Venerdì, Maggio 29, a Barclays Center a Brooklyn, New York as the Main Event in an exciting Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) card on Spike TV.

 

The televised action begins live on Spike TV at 9 pm ET/6 p.m. PT. Doors at Barclays Center open at 6 p.m. E.

 

I have happy memories of New York having made my successful U.S. debut there against Paulie Malignaggi in 2010,said Khan. “I’m delighted to now be fighting there once again against another champion in Chris Algieri. Algieri has shared the ring with some tremendous fighters and shown great skills in those fights so I know I will need to be at my very best when we meet. In all my fights I bring excitement, speed and skill and can guarantee more fireworks on Maggio 29 at Barclays Center.

 

I am very excited to get back into the ring and to be fighting here in New York,” Detto Algieri. “Fighting at Barclays Center, where I won my world title just under a year ago, is an added bonus. Amir Khan is a tested champion and is the matchup that I wanted. I believe this is a fight that will bring the best out of me.

 

I am thrilled to be returning to Barclays Center for another terrific PBC event,” stated Lou DiBella, Presidente di DiBella Entertainment. “Amir Khan is hands down one of the biggest names in the sport. Coming off a huge win over Devon Alexander, Khan is on the short list to participate in a future mega fight. He must first get by the hometown fan favorite, Algieri. This is a fight that Chris wanted. He is looking to show the world that he belongs, at the arena where he shocked the world and upset Ruslan Provodnikov for a world title. We expect an electric atmosphere come May 29th.”

 

We are excited to bring two outstanding fighters in Amir Kahn and Chris Algieri to Brooklyn,” ha detto il CEO Barclays Center Brett Yormark. “Khan is among the most talked about and dynamic fighters in the sport, and Long Island’s own Algieri had his career defining win at Barclays Center last June. Our first PBC event in Brooklyn on April 11 was a huge success and we expect another big night on Maggio 29. After less than three years in existence, Barclays Center is cementing itself as the premier boxing venue in the country.

 

We are thrilled to present this must-see matchup between of one of the sport’s true superstars, Amir Khan, and the tough-as-nails New Yorker, Chris Algieri, fighting in front of his hometown fans,” ha detto Jon Slusser, Senior Vice President, Sportivo, Spike TV.

 

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, which is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Star Boxing, sono al prezzo di $250, $150, $75 e $45, non compresi gli oneri di servizio applicabili e tasse, e sono in vendita domani, Giovedi, Aprile 16th a 2 p.m. E.

Per caricare al telefono, call Ticketmaster (800) 745-3000. Per i biglietti di gruppo, si prega di chiamare 800-GROUP-BK.

 

A 28-year-old star who first burst onto the scene with his silver medal-winning performance at the 2004 Olimpiadi, Khan is an exciting fighter who has shown incredible offensive skills and improved defensive technique since moving up to the welterweight division. His last two fights have come against former welterweight world champions Devon Alexander and Luis Collazo. He cruised to victory in those two contests and now looks to defeat another former champion when he battles the tough Algieri on Maggio 29. Fighting out of Bolton, Regno Unito, the former super lightweight world champion is eager to make an impression in his first start at Barclays Center.

 

Algieri è aumentato a fama nel mese di giugno 2014 Barclays Center quando ha sconvolto Ruslan Provodnikov per un titolo super leggero mondo. The 31-year-old returns to the scene of his greatest triumph on Maggio 29 to take on the British superstar Khan. L'ex campione di kickboxing da Huntington, New York, built his undefeated boxing record on the strength of his excellent movement and skill with the jab. La sua vittoria su Provodnikov gli valse un colpo a Manny Pacquiao a novembre. 2014, a bout that Algieri ultimately lost. He had previously defeated strong contenders Mike Arnaoutis and Emanuel Taylor on the way to his world title.

LAS VEGAS – (Aprile 15, 2015) – Più di 200 accredited press members from around the world descended upon Mayweather Boxing Club for Martedì Floyd Mayweather Media Day. It was the 11-time world champion Mayweather’s first and only open training session before his welterweight world championship unification mega-showdown against Manny Pacquiao su Sabato, Maggio 2, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas live on pay-per-view.

 

Superstars Mayweather (47-0, 26 KO) e Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KO) is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank Inc., the live pay-per-view telecast will be co-produced and co-distributed by HBO Pay-Per-View® e SHOWTIME PPV® con inizio alle9:00 p.m. E/ 6:00 p.m. PT.

 

Several dozen television camera crews, editorialisti dei giornali, scrittori boxe, emittenti radiofoniche, web reporters, photographers and (video) bloggers watched as Mayweather went through the paces during a 90-plus minute workout that included working the heavy bag, smacking the speed bag, hitting the mitts, jumping rope, stretching and doing calisthenics.

 

Before a training session streamed in high definition across multiple platforms, anche tramite collegamento satellitare, YouTube e social media, Mayweather answered questions from the media inside a specially-constructed tent in a parking lot outside the gym.

 

What Mayweather, Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe, allenatore Floyd Mayweather Sr. and unbeaten WBC Super Bantamweight Champion Leo Santa Cruz, who will fight in the top pay-per-view undercard bout on Maggio 2, suddetto Martedì:

 

Floyd Mayweather, 11-Volte campione del mondo

 

My training camp is basically running the same way. I think it has been smoother than others. I feel very comfortable and happy with my performances. They push me hard at camp. They know what I need.

 

The timing for this fight is right. This fight is about legacy, fans and family. I surround myself with all of the right people.

 

I can’t say that this matchup is about hype. This is real life. This is two future Hall of Famers in a mega-fight.

 

I’ve done record breaking numbers before and it looks like we’re going to do it again.

 

Everything in life is about timing. I have no regrets that this fight didn’t take place five years ago. I didn’t think it was that big then, but it continued to get bigger and bigger. Not just in boxing, but outside of the sport. Pacquiao has continued to grow outside of the sport. We didn’t need to rush anything.

 

This is going to be an exciting fight. Our styles are totally different. He is very, very reckless. Every move I make is calculated. I’m always 5-10 steps ahead of my opponent.

 

We’ll see what happens when the fight starts. But when all is said and done I’m going to be the winner.

 

Pacquiao is strong and solid but I don’t know if he can make adjustments like I can. I feel tremendous.

 

This was a difficult fight to make happen, but we made it happen. This fight is one of the biggest ever in boxing.

 

I’m still going strong. The last time I looked, Ero 47 e 0.

 

Anyone can get hit with a great shot, but I can make more adjustments and Manny can’t.

 

I don’t think Pacquiao expected me to look as strong or big when we faced off (at the L.A. conferenza stampa).

 

I walk around at 150-152 pounds to weigh 147 libbre. Other boxers weigh around 160-170 before coming down.

 

I’ve got one more fight on my contract. I couldn’t be happier with SHOWTIME and CBS.

 

Las Vegas is the boxing capital. During a Floyd Mayweather fight weekend, you can shop, party, stay out late and do anything you want. The city of Las Vegas has everything.

 

There were offers to fight other places, but MGM Grand is my home.

 

Anything I’ve asked of MGM Grand, they’ve done for me in a heartbeat. They’re all about making entertainers and athletes happy.

 

LEO SANTA CRUZ, WBC Super Bantamweight Campione del Mondo

 

I’m very grateful for the opportunity to fight on such an unbelievably huge card. I really want to thank Floyd Mayweather.

 

Any boxer would like to be on this card where millions of people are watching. I’m happy to represent Mexico on this night and on this fight card.

I look at it as a key opportunity for me to make an even bigger name for myself, which is my goal because one day I want to become a superstar like Floyd. That’s why I train really hard all of the time.

 

There are no little fights for me. I consider every fighter dangerous. You lose when you think a fighter is not on your level and then he comes in hungrier than you. That will never happen to me.

 

I don’t know who I’m fighting yet, but I’m sparring different guys with different styles.

 

There’s always a lot at risk for me. People keep talking about all of these big fights, but if I don’t win now, there will be no big fights in the future.

 

I know who I want to fight, but I don’t pick my opponents; I leave it up to my team. They make those kinds of decisions. My job is to fight and win.

 

I have to stay concentrated. I have to maintain focus and concentration. I can’t get ahead of myself. io do 100 percent in training and in the ring. I always want to put on a great fight for the fans.


LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO di promozioni Mayweather

 

Boxing is at an all time high at the moment. There are a lot of great things going on. Between this fight and getting boxing back on network television, it’s all great for the sport.

 

This fight will not only elevate the sport in general, but it will bring in the casual fan to the sport and that’s a great thing.

 

The impact that Floyd Mayweather has had on this sport is immeasurable. People won’t be able to appreciate that until he retires. He’s done so much for this sport. He’s given fighters a platform to say to other promoters that they deserve the lion’s share of the money. He’s brought more sponsorships to the sport.

 

Floyd Mayweather is the highest paid athlete in all of sports and he happens to be a boxer.

 

I think the demand thus far only indicates how big this event is. This is a fight that’s been talked about for five years now and everyone is going to get exactly what they’ve been asking for.

 

Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter. He’s been in a number of great fights and he’s had a terrific career thus far. These are the two best fighters of this generation and come Maggio 2 there will be one man standing and it will be Floyd Mayweather.

 

There’s no doubt it’s going to be a great fight. Sono davvero entusiasta. I can see firsthand the day-to-day preparation that Floyd puts in and he’s working just as hard as ever. The fans are going to get a great fight that night.

 

I don’t know what Manny Pacquiao has to do on Maggio 2, but I know what Floyd Mayweather has to do. He has to do what he normally does and go in there and execute his game plan and I really expect Floyd to knock him out.

 

Floyd Mayweather SR., Mayweather’s Trainer & Father

 

Floyd is as well rounded a fighter as there has ever been, but he’s really still here because of his defense.

 

Other guys fight with their head and their mind and come up short. It’s his great defense that has kept him on top for so long.

 

I want you all to see it. It’s so plain and simple what he’s going to do. Even Ray Charles could see it.

 

I honestly never thought that this was going to happen. So many people were trying to say Floyd was scared. Lets see on Maggio 2 who is scared.

 

I can’t tell you why or how, but here’s an update, Floyd is going to kick his a** and knock Pacquiao out.

 

I didn’t watch one tape on Pacquiao. There is no reason to study him. He’s not at this level.

 

Floyd is the best, I must confess. Nothing is going to stop Floyd Mayweather.

 

Pacquiao’s trainer Coach Roach (Freddie Roach) is lying to you. Trying to trick you all. Floyd’s not getting knocked down in the gym. Floyd is the one knocking people down. Roach blows smoke with no hope.

Ramiro makes an excellent addition to our roster,” said Leon Margules of Warriors Boxing. “He is an outstanding young fighter with a bright future. We will be looking to provide him with every opportunity he deserves in boxing. I love that he has the rare gift of being a debilitating body puncher in an age where so few fighters pay attention to the lost art.

 

We are all very excited about this opportunity,” said Ernesto Pedroza. “Ramiro is extremely serious about his career and works very hard. From what I see, competition wise, we feel that signing with Warriors will provide him with the platform to become a world champion soon.

GCP Switches it Up in a Big Way!

Tony Luis to Face Derry Matthews for World Championship this Saturday in England; Ismael Barroso now Fighting Ira Terry on CBS a Hinckley, MN Questo Venerdì

Lack of time to obtain proper visas has forced the necessity for two of Greg Cohen Promotions’ (GCP) fighters to switch places on short notice for this weekend.

Su Sabato, Aprile 18, Cornovaglia, Ontario’s Tony “Fulmine” Luis (19-2, 7 KO) will now face UK veteran Derry Matthews (37-9-2, 20 KO) for the Interim WBA Lightweight Championship at the Echo Arena in Matthewshometown of Liverpool, Inghilterra, as the main event of a night of boxing presented by Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions.

Luis was originally scheduled to face Memphis, Tennessee, veterano Ira Terry (26-13, 16 KO) in the televised co-feature of the “Boxing Championship su CBS Sports Network” evento, presented by Greg Cohen Promotions in association with Adam Wilcock’s Fight Card Promotions and produced by David Schuster’s Winner Take All Productions onVenerdì, Aprile 17, dal Grand Casino Hinckley a Hinckley, Minnesota.

Unbeaten Venezuelan slugger Ismael Barroso (17-0-2, 16 KO), who was originally scheduled to face Matthews, was unable to obtain the proper visas in time to fight on such short notice in England. He will now take Luisplace in Hinckley and will take on Terry in an eight-round attraction questo Venerdì.

It worked out well for everyone,” ha detto Greg Cohen. “Tony Luis was high enough in the ratings and ready to fight, so he’s one of the few fighters in the world who could have stepped into this important fight on such short notice. And fortunately, he is a GCP fighter as well, so we made it happen quickly and he is on his way to the UK as we speak. Tony gets his dream shot at a world championship and the fans in Hinckley, and on CBS Sports Network, will get their first look at one of the most fearsome punchers in boxing, Ismael Barroso. So it seems that everyone wins in this unique situation.
