GH3 Promotions CEO Vito Mielnicki comments on Jerry Odom’s controversial disqualification
Нутлеи, Њ(Јануар 12, 2015)–Прошлог Петак night at the Madison Square Garden Theater, previously undefeated Super Middleweight Џери Одом suffered his first professional defeat when he was controversially disqualified when he was ruled to have hit Ендрју Хернандез while he was down following a knockdown.
“Jerry dropped the kid and the referee was way out of position. The referee was in the opposite corner,””said GH3 Promotions CEO Vito Mielnicki.
“We signed Hernandez before the fight so I am looking to do an immediate rematch as soon as mid February. As everyone saw, Jerry was well on his way to stopping him. Hernandez is a good prospect but Jerry got the best of him. I think Andrew knew that Jerry was breaking him down.”
“The referee was way out of position to make a call like that They could have given him five minutes to recover. Stuff like this is a black eye for the sport. All that being said, Andrew knows that if he wants to become something, he has to take the rematch. I am going to talk to the commission у понедељак and see what my options are in terms of an appeal but making the rematch is the first order of business for us.”
“We know that Jerry is still the top Super Middleweight prospect out there and we will not let this terrible ruling effect our plans for Jerry going forward.

Johnson thumped the former Olympian Theran over five rounds, dropping him once in the 4th round, then again in the 5th. Theran, who suffered an injury and could not return for the 6th round, was taking a beating before bowing out of the bout.
Rated ВБЦ #8, ВБА #12 и ИБФ #12, Tureano Johnson is looking to step up and challenge any of the champions in middleweight division. After beating a solid fighter like Theran, and being robbed in the Curtis Stevens fight, Johnson is confident he can beat any of the current champions at 160 кг.
“Спреман сам да се борим Генадиј Головкин, Мигел Цотто, Јермаин Таилор or any other champion out there,” Саид Туреано Џонсон. These are the type of fights I would like to pursue. Дејвид Лемиеук is also on my hit list. I’m here to take over the division. Everyone knows I should be undefeated so I’m going to leave no doubt about it every time I step in the ring. I can’t afford to be robbed again. With Gary Shaw putting me in a great position, I’m going to make the most of every opportunity. My goal in 2015 is to become a world champion.”
“Tureano Johnson is marching up the rankings and should be applauded for his fighting style.” рекао Гари Схав. “He’s the type of fighter everyone wants to see.

Melson Mourns the Loss of Bernie Lenahan
Њујорк, НИ (Јануар 11, 2015) – Bernie Lenahan was a rare breed by today’s boxing standards. Not only was he dedicated to the sport, spending countless hours at New York’s Mendez Boxing Gym, Lenahan was an honest family man that built special friendships with his fighters.
Having worked with various fighters in the Big Apple, Lenahan learned his craft by spending time around New York’s greats. He guided multiple fighters to New York Golden Gloves titles and played a key role during his four years as Boyd Melson’s assistant trainer and cutman. In multiple fights, Lenahan prevented tides from potentially turning by effectively closing Melson’s cuts between rounds. He was also in the gym guiding Melson as he prepared for battle.
Shockingly, Lenahan passed away last week, leaving behind a wife, ћерка, granddaughter, two sisters and a brother.
“I spent more time with Coach Bernie these past four years than any other man on this planet,", Рекао је Мелсон. He made me his. My heart broke when I heard the news, and a part of it will be broken until my time is up in my own body. It wasn’t just because of how he loved me and how much I loved him that this hurts me so much, but it is because when Coach passed, hundreds and hundreds of people lost something very special.”
“Coach Bernie offered an unconditional kindness, acceptance and welcoming that you only find in children. When you see a child, you know that you won’t be judged, and you will be offered love for no other reason beyond that child just wanting to love you. At some time in almost all humans’ lives, we tend to lose this. We stop loving everyone, and we start judging everyone. With Coach though, we felt safe as seeing him put instant smiles on our faces because we always felt loved and welcomed. He made you feel that he truly wanted you there and really cared about you. I wish everyone alive on this planet could have met Coach Bernie to experience that feeling. At the end of every practice for the past three years, I hugged Coach Bernie, kissed him on the side of his forehead, thanked him for training me that day, and said I love you to him. He would smile and quietly say “love you too.” Forever and a day, I thank you Coach for this.”

Read below for what the fighters have to say about how training is going, what their place in heavyweight history is and what the fans can expect to see on Јан. 17 на МГМ Гранд Гарден Арени у Лас Вегасу:
П: Where have you been training? Who have you been training with? How has training been going?
Голд Куп: I am in Vegas training at the Mayweather Gym. I have had many sparring partners, seven total and they have been alternating since it has been a very long camp. I began training camp in August because we didn’t even know when this fight was going to happen so we had to be ready for any time and we did better than ever. It has been a long, long training camp and I am in the best shape I have ever been in.
I plan to go in the ring between 238 и 242 фунти. We thought about going lower but I am a super heavyweight and that is the weight where I am best.
Деонтаи Вилдер: Camp has been great. It’s been a long hard road but we’re here now. I had my whole team which was excellent — Џеј Деас, Марк Бреланд, Russ Anber, Cuz Hill and my strength coach Peter Khoury, so it couldn’t have been any better.
П: How do you feel about fighting on the big stage as the main event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena?
BS: Fighting at the MGM Grand is a dream come true. I have been dreaming of becoming a champion my whole life. When I think of the MGM I think of all the history and I want to write a new chapter.
DW: I’m super excited about fighting on the big stage. The bigger the better! The more attention and people watching, the more I like it. We’ve been working towards this for a long time, and I am glad we have gotten to this level.
П: If you could meet any heavyweight champ who would it be? Is there a heavyweight that you would say you emulate?
BS: Muhammad – he was the greatest, he called himself “The Greatest” before he even knew he was The Greatest. He worked hard every single day to fulfill it and that is what I do. No corners cut.
DW: I’ve never patterned myself after any other heavyweight, but if I could meet one from the past it would be Joe Louis. He’s part of my nickname. He was the ‘Brown Bomber’ and since I’m from Alabama like he was and I won the Bronze medal at the Olympics, I’m the ‘Bronze Bomber.’
П: How do you feel about being in the biggest heavyweight title fight in the United States in a decade?
BS: The Heavyweight Champion is what it’s all about. It’s the King of the Jungle. It is the Champion of all the Champions. I am happy to bring it back. Boxing is alive and well.
DW: It’s time for the heavyweight division to be important again and I’m the guy to do it, so I can’t wait.
П: Which heavyweights inspired you or did you admire on your climb to this point?
BS: Iron Mike Tyson and James Toney – I really admire the way they fought. I loved Iron Mike’s explosiveness and speed and his fast hands. Tyson could hurt you with any punch at any angle and that is my forte. When I hit somebody, I see it in their eyes and their legs and I feel their pain.
DW: My daughter is my inspiration. I always admired guys like Muhammad Ali and Larry Holmes though.
П: Is there any extra motivation fighting for the WBC title that has been held by so many of the greatest including Muhammad Ali?
BS: The WBC heavyweight belt has been held by many great champions. It’s the biggest prize out there.
DW: A lot of great champions have held the WBC title belt, so it’s the big one and I’m honored and excited to be fighting for it.
П: How important is it for you to represent your home country in this fight? Do you feel any additional pressure because of it?
BS: I am blessed to have been born in Haiti and lived in Quebec, Canada and now Las Vegas and I like to think of myself as an inspiration to kids in Haiti that have suffered so much – just like me. I want them to know that if they work hard they can achieve their dreams.
DW: Like I said, I am honored and excited. A lot of greats have held the belt and I am ready to make history and be one of the greats. Representing the U.S. in a heavyweight fight, bringing it back home, it’s an honor.
П: What do you think of your opponent, does anything he does concern you?
BS: I think Wilder is a clown. Wilder thinks this is the WWE. He acts like it’s the WWE. This is for real. It is going to hurt very bad.
DW: I have no thoughts about Bermane Stiverne. I’m just ready to fight and leave it all out in the ring.
П: What should the fans expect on Jan. 17? Do you have a prediction?
BS: On Jan. 17 I will hurt Wilder and I will knock him out and it will be a lasting image in peoples’ minds for a very long time.
DW: Fans should expect a great night of boxing and everyone will see Јан. 17. -. Be there or tune in on TV if you can’t. You don’t want to miss it!

CABAZON, Калиф. (Јан. 9, 2015) – Undefeated prospect Ивана Редкацх (18-0, 14 КОс) was impressive in a sixth-round knockout victory over Јакубу Амиду (19-6-2, 17 КОс), who failed to get off his stool following the sixth round in Петак main event of СхоБок: Нова генерација од Morongo Casino, Одмаралиште & Spa у Цабазон, Калиф.
Working for the first time with new trainer Роберт Гарциа, РЕДК, of Los Angeles by way of Ukraine, started out slow as he found his range, with the durable Amidu handling his power in the opening rounds. Амид, of Los Angeles by way of Ghana, started slow but picked up the pace in the fourth and then was docked a point by referee Ray Corona for repeated low blows in the fifth.
Амид, who had never been knocked down in 26 професионални туче, suffered two knockdowns in the sixth, with the first coming after a quick right followed by a hard left and the second after an onslaught of power punches. Amidu barely beat the count both times, but he simply couldn’t handle the power of Redkach, који је слетео 45 посто његових енергетских удараца.
“I was getting ready to knock him out,” Redkach said. “I was going to finish him before his corner stopped the fight. I would have finished him in the next round.
“I hadn’t been in the ring for sixth months, so I had to feel him out in the beginning before we attacked,” said Redkach. “That was the game plan with Robert Garcia. I was in perfect physical condition. I will be a world champion very soon. That is my dream.”
Amidu complained that a leg injury was the reason he quit on his stool.
“I hurt my knee in the last round when I fell on it,” Amidu said. “I was OK after the knockdown, but when I stood up I felt something in my knee. I didn’t stop fighting because of the punches; I stopped because I hurt my knee.”
While Amidu complained of a hurt knee after the fight, the California State Athletic Commission stated that the bout was stopped due to punches. By rule, the commission rules that a knockout.
SHOWTIME Analyst Steve Farhood was impressed by Redkach, who has been labeled by many boxing pundits as a hot prospect to watch.
“It was a very impressive victory because Amidu had never been down and had fought much better opposition,” Farhood said. “It’s not that Redkach beat him, it’s the way he beat him. When Redkach debuted on СхоБок we billed him as a lightweight terror and he didn’t really fight that way. But tonight he fought smart and in the sixth round the terror came out. He showed he had legitimate power.”
У сарадњи функцију, undefeated junior middleweight prospect Alantez “SlyAza” Fox, of Forestville, МД, kept his undefeated record intact with an eight-round majority decision victory over previously unbeaten Патрик Дан, постигао 76-76, 78-74, 80-72.
Лисица (14-0-1, 4 КОс), who is 6-foot-5, was able to keep Day at distance with his highly effective jab, averaging 54 jabs a round with a total of 436 jabs thrown in just eight rounds. Day (9-1, 5 КОс), who went past six rounds for the first time in his career, wasn’t able to come forward and looked frustrated in later rounds as he entered unchartered territory.
“I was able to land my jab,” said the 22-year-old Fox. “I kept moving and was able to stay off the ropes. I kept him on the outside with my jabs and movement. That definitely was the advantage that I had over him in the fight. It wasn’t just my height that worked; it was my movement and range.
“I was anxious before the fight, but once I was in the ring I settled down,” said Fox, who was making his SHOWTIME debut. “I’m very thankful for the opportunity and am very excited for big things to come.”
Day seemed frustrated with the decision saying, “I think I did enough to win. I think that I landed the better, harder, cleaner, more effective punches. I thought that’s how professional boxing is scored, but I guess not tonight. His height wasn’t a huge issue because I still think I won, but it was definitely an obstacle.”
У СхоБок: Нова генерација opening bout, 2012 Олимпијски Ievgen “Ukrainian Lion” Khytrov (8-0, 8 КОс) remained undefeated with a dominating third-round technical knockout victory over outmatched Maurice “The Natural” Louishomme (8-1-1, 4 КОс).
Кхитров, оф Брооклин, НИ, путем Украјине, controlled the fight from the outset, lighting up Louishomme, Цолорадо Спрингс, Цоло., with aggressive right hands and uppercuts to the body that sent Louishomme staggering on multiple occasions in a fight that was entirely one-sided.
Khytrov was highly accurate, слетање 53 посто његових енергетских удараца, 51 percent of his jabs and 52 посто његових укупних удараца. Referee Ray Corona stopped the fight just 24 seconds into the third round after a hard right from Khytrov sent Louishomme’s mouthpiece flying for the third time and awarded Khytrov the technical knockout.
“I was just concentrating and trying to get some work in,” Khytrov said. “I wasn’t in there just looking for the knockout. I was looking for chances, but I wasn’t going to force it. The plan was to get some rounds in and really start pushing in the fourth.
“I’m ready to take on anyone. It’s been hard to get fights, but we’re just going to go home and prepare for the next one.”
