Mike Lee Breaks Rib in 1st round and despite not being able to breathe, defeats Jose Hernandez to claim NABO Light Heavyweight title

Leave a comment

Chicago, Illinois (Xuño 9, 2018) -WBO number-3 ranked light heavyweight contender Mike Lee Broke his rib in the 1st round, but still claimed the NABO Light Heavyweight title with a 10-round unanimous decision over Jose Hernandez at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.

 

 

 

Lee pressed the action as he looked to land power shots early. Hernandez fought gamely, but Lee was consistent with his right and left hands.

 

 

 

Lee showed incredible heart, as in round one, he suffered a broken rib and had trouble breathing throughout the whole ten round fight.

 

 

 

Hernandez was cut from Lee’s work, and the Notre Dame graduate cruised home with the victory by scores of 97-93 on all judges’ cards.

 

 

 

Coa vitoria, Lee remains perfect with a record of 21-0, and will now look to face any of the world champions in either the light heavyweight or super middleweight divisions.

 

 

 

“I came out wanting the knockout,” dixo Lee. “I give credit to Jose, he was tough. I got a little excited early, and I was a little sloppy. A principios, I was just throwing power shots, I wasn’t double jabbing and using my athletic ability. Every fight is a learning lesson, and tonight I had to bite down and get the win.”

 

 

 

Coa vitoria, Lee will now look to challenge any of the champions and big names in and around his weight class.

 

 

 

“Let’s go. I want a shot at the world title. Whether it is at 168 libras ou 175 libras, I am just waiting on a phone call. We wanted to fight Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr, but I don’t know what happened with that. I just want someone with the belt.”

Lee takes on Jose Hernandez este venres night at The Allstate Arena in Chicago and Live on

CBS Sports Network (9 PM ET)

Chicago, Illinois (Xuño 4, 2018) -When WBO number-3 ranked light heavyweight contender Mike Lee (20-0, 11 Kos) asume Jose Hernandez (19-3-1, 9 Kos) this Friday night en The Allstate Arena en Chicago. The card will be broadcast live on CBS Spots Network (9 PM ET) with an all-star announce team of International Boxing Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins and renowned Teddy Atlas.

 

 

 

Tompkins, who has been calling the biggest fights in the world for nearly 40 anos, has seen his share of fighters, but not many with the versatility of a fighter who could be speaking to corporate America one day, and competing at a championship level in the ring…. the very next day.

 

 

 

“This fight will be a nice little test for Lee. This is something that he has been striving for a long time, and I will be happy to see him get that chance that he has been wanting. It is a real opportunity for him to show himself as one of the great fighters around,” said Tompkins.

 

 

 

Sotavento, who is one of a real select few that is able to give motivational speeches to Fortunate-500 companies, is a national spokesperson for major cooperation’s, and be a world class fighter all wrapped up in one.

 

 

 

Sotavento, who is holds a finance degree from Notre Dame, spends time and money for kids diagnosed with terminal cancer, so he is always fighting for a higher cause

 

 

 

“He is a very sellable guy whether he fights or not, and that’s the thing. He has the opportunity to be a real spokesman, not only for himself but for the sport of boxing in general. He is that in general He can really fill a room and he is excellent at dealing with all walks of life and all generations of people. I haven’t been around too many that can do that. “Azucre” Ray Leonard comes to mind who can do that. Leonard has a very galvanizing personality, and Mike has a lot of that in him. He is very good spokesperson for the sport.”

 

 

 

With a win on Friday night, Lee could be just a fight or two away for fighting for a coveted world championship.

 

 

 

“I know that is something he has looked forward to. I am in favor of him getting an opportunity. His record says that he is worthy of an opportunity.”

CITAS DE PRESSER
Sal Musumeci, CEO de The Real Deal Boxing: “Estamos honrados de estar aquí en Rhode Island. Tantos campións veñen por aquí e estamos aquí por ese motivo e os seus grandes fans do boxeo. Estiven promocionando 20 anos con máis de 400 espectáculos en todo o mundo. Sei onde queremos ir a lugares con xente que aprecia o boxeo.”
“Evander e eu xuntámonos para montar The Real Deal Boxing porque queremos os mesmos espectáculos, dous guerreiros no ring, e iso é o que ides ver Venres noite no Stand. Grazas por aceptar xa está aquí. Toka é unha gran inspiración. Cando escoitei a súa historia por primeira vez, o meu COO (Eric Bentley) triste que necesitamos asinalo. Está nunha dura loita. Toka aceptou o desafío porque cre que será campión do mundo.”
“Turchi é un cruceiro invicto que se converterá nun peso pesado. Un peso pesado italiano como o gran Rocky Marciano que loitou na providencia tantas veces.”
“garantizo o venres noite verás as loitas máis competitivas en Providence en moitos anos.”
Evander Holyfield: “Estou honrado de estar aquí. Unha gran parte de min como promotor é como podo axudar ao boxeo? Comecei ás oito, cando me dixeron que sería como Ali. Eu cría iso, pero tiven que preguntarlle á miña nai (permiso para box). Fun catro veces campión do mundo de peso pesado, pero tamén tiven os meus altos e baixos. dígolles (meus loitadores), se escoitan e me piden consello, Vou dicirlles. O problema hoxe cos millennials é que realmente non hai ninguén que lles diga. Só pregúntame, dígolles.”
“Aporto moito ao boxeo, pero non direi que farei campións dos meus loitadores. Dareilles a oportunidade de ser campión. Tiven oportunidades e nunca deixei. Se te marcas obxectivos e non renuncias, chegarás a ese obxectivo. Corrixe os teus erros e non abandones. Estes loitadores necesitan crer en min pero, o máis importante, precisan crer en si mesmos. Podo darlles consellos porque o fixen. Estou do seu lado.”
Tokaido Kahn-Clary: “Quero agradecer a Evander, Sal e todos no meu equipo por terme loitado no meu estado. Tamén quero dar as grazas ao meu pesebre, adestrador e Dan Crotty. Estou feliz por estar aquí. Boxear non é doado, pero é o camiño que escollín. Estou loitando aquí na televisión nacional, representando a miña cidade e estado.”
“Vou facer un espectáculo en decembro 1st. Non vai ser doado pero vou no ring para dalo todo. Non podo esperar para loitar!”
Seth DeRobbio, xerente de Toka Kahn-Clary, Irvin González, Nick DeLomba & Timmy Ramos:
“Quero agradecer a Sal e Evander por darlle boas loitas a Providence. Esta é unha gran oportunidade para Toka, quen está loitando a 19-0 adversario, configurando a 2018 ser un gran ano para el. Esperanza, traeremos algo moi grande a Providence, moi. Non saberás quen vai gañar Venres noite ata que rematen as pelexas.”
Peter Manfredo, Sr., adestrador principal de Kahn-Clary: “Gustaríame agradecer a Evander, Seth, toda a tripulación (O Real Deal Boxeo). Cando Seth mencionou asinar a Toka con Evander, Pronto souben que eles coidan dos seus loitadores, sen BS. Escóitaos e chegarás á cima.
“Toka Kahn-Clary é o mellor loitador que tiven, Tiven moitas boas. Toka sempre está en condicións, traballa moito e ten queixo de ferro. El quere ser unha lenda e vou facer de todo para axudalo.”
Fabio Turchi: “Estou moi feliz de estar aquí. Quero agradecer a Real Deal Boxing por ter fe en min. Intentarei facer o mellor posible para facer un gran espectáculo. A xente de aquí significa moito para min e quero que os italoamericanos aquí en Providence estean orgullosos de min.”
