“It’s going to be great to be in the corner of David ‘El Bandera Roja’ Benavídez on fight night,»Είπε ο Sampson Lewkowicz του Sampson Boxing, who is recovering from a recent surgery. “I feel so good and so strong and I truly can’t wait to be there to support the youngest super middleweight champion in history.”
The event is promoted by TGB Promotions and Sampson Boxing. The Romero vs. Maríñez bout is co-promoted by Mayweather Promotions.
The 23-year-old Benavídez (22-0, 19 KOs) defends his belt after defeating two-time super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell in September, stopping him in nine rounds. Benavidez is trained by his father José Sr., μαζί με τον αδερφό του και πρώην διεκδικητή του τίτλου, Χοσέ Τζούνιορ. Σε 2017, έγινε ο νεότερος πρωταθλητής σούπερ μεσαίου βάρους στην ιστορία της πυγμαχίας νικώντας τον Ρόναλντ Γκάβριλ στο SHOWTIME μόλις 20 ετών. Εκπροσωπώντας την πατρίδα του τον Φοίνιξ, Αριζόνα. Ο Benavídez πήγε από ένα 15χρονο θαύμα που έκανε πόλεμο με τους Gennady Golovkin και Peter Quillin, στον διεκδικητή του παγκόσμιου τίτλου με σερί νοκ άουτ 10 αγώνων από 2015 μέσω 2017, including a highlight-reel knockout of Rogelio Medina with a seven-punch combination that earned him his first championship fight.
“It’s been almost a year since the last time I fought, so I’m very eager to get back in the ring and give the fans a great fight,»Είπε ο Μπεναβέντεζ. “Training camp has been amazing. Ευτυχώς, my dad opened his own gym just before the pandemic, so we’ve had private training and been able to safely bring in sparring partners to help me work. I’m facing a very tricky and rugged fighter, so I’m taking him very seriously. I feel like I can take advantage of some openings in his defense and look for the knockout like I do every fight.”
Born in El Bordo, Colombia and now fighting out of Miami, Fla., Angulo (26-1, 22 KOs) enters his second world title opportunity on a three-fight winning streak, including two triumphs over previously unbeaten fighters. Angulo stopped Reinaldo Gonzalez in 2018 in his first fight since losing a decision to then-super middleweight champion Gilberto Ramirez earlier that year. He scored a decision victory this January over Anthony Sims Jr. to put himself in position to again challenge the best in the division.
“I’m ready for anything that happens in the ring on August 15,” said Angulo. “This is going to be a great fight for the fans because of the style I bring to the ring. Benavidez is a strong champion, but my style will be too much for him and I will have my hand raised on fight night.”
Καταπολέμηση έξω από το Λας Βέγκας, Nev., Romero(11-0, 10 KOs) added three knockout victories to his tally in 2019 before his 2020 debut saw him stop previously unbeaten Arturs Ahmetovs in February. A fast-rising prospect in the Mayweather Promotions stable, the 24-year-old is ranked No. 10 by the WBA and will look to extend his six-fight knockout streak on August 15.
“It feels great to return to the ring and to be fighting for such a great opportunity,” said Romero. “This has been the best camp of my career, and I’ll just say this, if a pandemic is holding you back from training, then you don’t want it bad enough. I already believe I should be here with the top guys, but the world will actually get to see that I am who I say I am. I’m confident in my abilities as a fighter and I have the best in the business, Floyd Mayweather, behind me. I think this fight will end fairly quickly, but you will get to see the growth in me as a fighter. This is another fight that will further prove I’m here to stay. Sign up for KO’s!”
“This is a big step up for Rolando, and he’s been waiting for the opportunity to showcase his talent,” said Leonard Ellerbe, Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος της Mayweather Προσφορές. “He has a big test ahead to prove himself. This is going to be another one that you don’t want to miss, so tune-in to SHOWTIME on Saturday, August 15.”
The 29-year-old Maríñez (19-0, 7 KOs) holds the WBA’s No. 6 κατάταξη, which he earned with victories over Rolando Giono and Kenin Betancourt while picking up eight wins between 2018 και 2019. Representing his native Santo Domingo, Δομινικανή Δημοκρατία, Maríñez was successful in his U.S. debut in December of last year, stopping Yardley Armenta Cruz in two rounds.
“I’ve had a great training camp for this fight,” said Maríñez. “I’ve been sparring with Vergil Ortiz and Jose Ramirez, plus other fighters in Robert Garcia’s gym, and it’s gotten me ready to step into the ring. I know that Romero is a tough and durable fighter, so it won’t be easy, but I’m going to do anything I can to bring the title back home.”
Wallin (20-1, 13 KOs) will return to the ring for the first time since he nearly defeated Tyson Fury in September 2019, when he opened up a gruesome cut over Fury’s right eye with a legal punch that nearly halted the fight. While the 29-year-old lost a decision, he proved his mettle as a potential future heavyweight champion. Representing his native Sundsvall, Σουηδία, Wallin trains in New York with former champion Joey Gamache.
“I’m very happy to finally be back in the ring,” said Wallin. “It’s been a long and crazy year in many ways and it feels great to be getting ready to step back into the ring. I’ve been training steady since the Fury fight and I feel like I’ve developed my game in a lot of ways. Kauffman is a tough veteran that can both come forward or box if he wants to. He’s a fan friendly fighter and I have to be ready at all times. We have a great game plan as always and I’m in excellent shape. I know I have all the tools to beat Kauffman.”
A veteran of the heavyweight landscape, Kauffman (32-3, 23 KOs) owns a ledger that includes challenges of top heavyweights including Luis Ortiz, Chris Arreola and Amir Mansour, μεταξύ άλλων,. The Reading, Pennsylvania native lost his most recent bout to Ortiz, ακολουθώντας α 2018 triumph over Scott Alexander.
“This is my first training camp in seven years without Brother Naazim Richardson, but I know that he wouldn’t want me to leave camp and he’d want me to stay focused,” said Kauffman. “Having him pass away while I was in camp was one of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with, but there’s adversity in every camp I’ve had. I wouldn’t feel right if there wasn’t adversity to overcome. Ο πατερας μου, Μάρσαλ, stepped back in as my head trainer. We know we’re facing a young, hungry fighter, but I have more experience than him and I don’t think he can last 10 rounds with me when I’m at 100% like I’ll be on August 15.”
Additional non-televised action will include super middleweight contenderAlantez Fox(26-2-1, 12 KOs) battling Ghana’sHabib Ahmed(27-1-1, 18 KOs) in an eight-round attraction.

Wise decision 4 years ago finds “Θαυμάσιος” Mykquan Williams 15-0 as pro today instead of elite amateur
Vinicius De Jesus stops Chris Lozano to Retain CES MMA welterweight title
Χάρτφορντ, Conn. (Σεπτέμβριος 7, 2019) – CES MMA World Welterweight Champion Vinicius De Jesus made his first title defense tonight, stopping game challenger Chris “The Cleveland Assassin” Lozano in the third round in the “CESMMA 58” main event at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford.
The main card was streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®, ο κόσμος είναι κορυφαία ψηφιακή συνδρομητική υπηρεσία για τα μαχητικά αθλήματα.
Lozano (10-5) dropped De Jesus (9-2) in the opening round with a shot to the temple, but the Brazilian bounced up and fought back. The first two rounds were fought relatively cautious as both fighters took turns being the aggressor. De Jesus took charge in the third connected on punches and kicks, while avoiding Lozano’s limited offensive attacks. A strong De Jesus punch snapped Lazano’s head and that’s the opening the defending chance had set up. He bashed Lazano around the cage, trapping him as he threw punishing combinations until the referee waved off the action midway through the third.
“I appreciate him (Lozano) accepting this fight when others didn’t,” an excited De Jesus praised his opponent after the fight. “I respect him very much and hope he’s okay and back in the cage soon. I have a high fight IQ and he was difficult to hit. This is for my fans and family.
“My boxing paid off. My father coached me to box. Τώρα, I’m looking for the big show, the lions in the UFC.”
Στο συν-χαρακτηρισμένη εκδήλωση, Hartford heavyweightParker Porter (8-5) and his Brazilian opponent, Dirlei Broenstrup (16-7) put on a very entertaining show. Porter couldn’t miss his overhand right in the first round, but Broenstrup responded in the second and came out hot for the third. All of a sudden Porter unloaded a straight right on Broenstrup’s chin and that’s all she wrote with less than two minutes remaining on the clock.
“I knew I started to get tired in the third round,” Porter commented. “I felt that I had won the first two rounds and my mentality was stay alive and don’t get taken out. I’d love to get a shot at the CES heavyweight strap in my next fight.”
Veteran Cincinnati lightweightReggie Merriweather (13-5) ruined the homecoming type of night for popular and previously undefeatedJesse James Kosakowski (3-1) from Waterbury, CT. Merriweather landed several bombs, Kosakowski got out of a few jams, and then suddenly Merriweather closed the show with a single righthanded punch halfway through the first round. Kosakowski’s large crowd of supporters expressed their collective feelings the referee had prematurely stopped the fight, but the upset was already in the books.
Massachusetts featherweight“Relentless” Robbie Leroux switched positions onPete “The Heat” Rogers, Jr. to win by way of a reverse heal hold (απεικονίζεται παρακάτω) forcing a tap-out. It appeared that Rogers had the advantage and was moments away from victory Leroux did his thing.
Florida bantamweightJornel "A1" Lugo, who lived in Wallingford (CT), used his speed and angles to stopHarris “Dirty Harry” Bonfilgio on punches in the first round. “Only one thing pays the bills…skills,” Lugo said after the fight. “Everybody kept telling me to watch out for his kicks. I studied – I’m paranoid – so I was prepared.”
Pro-debuting Brooklyn flyweightAdrian Haly πήρε μια ξεχωριστή απόφαση απόJustin “Juggernaut” Valentin, της Meriden (CT), in the first fight of the night steamed live on UFC FIGHT PASS.

Massachusetts cruiserweightDan Randall used an effective ground-and-pound attack againstJesse Baughman, who tapped out midway through the opening round.

“Fight Night in The Capital” ΕΠΙΣΗΜΑ ΑΠΟΤΕΛΕΣΜΑΤΑ
Χάρτφορντ, Conn. (Ιούνιος 17, 2018) – Rising Hartford folk hero Richard “Popeye ο ναυτικός Man” Ριβέρα kept his pro record perfect (8-0) άθικτος, knocking out his tough opponent, Jaime “Zarco” Solorio (12-4-2, 9 KOs), in the eighth round to capture the vacant ABF Continental cruiserweight title, την προηγούμενη νύχτα (Σάββατο) in the main event on the “Fight Night at The Capital” pro boxing card, at Xfinity Centre in Hartford.
The reigning UBF All Americas light heavyweight champion, Ριβέρα (8-0, 7 KOs) is arguably the hardest pound-for-pound puncher in New England, if not the entire Northeast. After breaking his last opponent’s ankle with the force of his power, the incredibly popular Hartford fighter
Boxing trainer Tony Blanco and his Hartford Boxing Center gym partner, Michael Tran, recently teamed with Rivera to form Hartford Boxing Promotions, which was promoting its first pro boxing event, “Fight Night at The Capital.”
“I’m excited to have promoted our first show here in Hartford and I hope other promoters will follow,” Blanco commented. “I’m happy for all of the fighters. This was our first but not last show. We’re bringing boxing back to Hartford.
“I’m also excited about Sharrad’s pro debut (Collier), who is like a son to me, and Richie, my brother and partner. Everything I do is for them, that’s who I work for them.”
The durable Solorio had only been knocked out once in 17 pro fights going into the ring against Rivera, who has knock out six of his seven victims.
The first was a feeling-out round, but Rivera picked up the pace in the second, landing several hard shots on his game Mexican opponent. The highly entertaining Rivera cruised through the third through fifth, picking his spots better, but it was bombs away in the sixth as Rivera landed a right that sent Solorio to the deck. Solorio was penalized a point in the sixth for unsportsmanlike conduct.
In the seventh round, Solorio appeared to be fighting to survive, frequently holding and clinching, but he came forward in spurts as Rivera started loading up for a knockout that finally came in the eighth round. Rivera had never fought more than four rounds, but he was determined to ward off his opponent’s wrestling, landing a right-left-right uppercut combination to close the show with only 30 seconds left in the contest.
“I want to thank everybody for being here and bringing our community together in one house,” Rivera said. “Happy Father’s Day. I dedicated this fight to my father who I love so much. I told everybody that he was going down in three, but Solorio was tough. I took him in deep water and I’m strong to the finish because I eat my spinach…..toot, toot!”
In an intra-Connecticut clash of junior welterweights, Danbury’s undefeated Omar “Το Θηρίο” Bordoy, Jr. (6-0, 2 KOs) νοκ άουτ Αλέξανδρος “El Bravo” Ακροθηλεία δαντέλλας (2-6-1), of Hartford, with only one second left in the sixth and final round of co-featured event.
Bordoy was hampered by a cut over his right eye, suffered during the second round from an unintentional headbutt, who was fighting in his first scheduled six-rounder. He pivoted and threw a short, straight right that rocked Picot, dropping him forward on the mat as referee Shada Murdaugh immediately waved off the count, calling the doctor into the ring.
A star was born in a professional debut as two-time New England Golden Gloves champion “The Special One” Sharad Collier (1-0, 1 KO, fighting at home in Hartford, displayed his vast arsenal of skills, να χτυπήσει έξω Antonio Castillo, Jr. (1-1) στον πρώτο γύρο.
The 21-year-old Collier showed the poise of a veteran and surprising power, especially considering he fought two full divisions higher than his natural weight class, due to his opponent weighing in as a junior middleweight. Collier decked Castillo early and finished him off with a barrage of unanswered punches until referee Danny Sciavone halted the action.
“Everything went the way I had planned,” Collier said after the bout. “Before the fight, I knew I was going to win, because I felt so good. People were asking me before the fight how I was feeling and, to be honest, I was a lot more nervous as an amateur.”
New Haven, CT lightweight Anuel Rosa (1-0, 1 KO) turned in an explosive pro debut, blasting an overwhelmed Roger Blankenship (1-3) around the ring until the referee Murdaugh stopped the action at the 49-second mark of the opening round. The 21-year-old Rosa dedicated the fight to his cousin, ο αείμνηστος Luis “KO βασιλιάς” Rosa (23-1, 11 KOs), who tragically died last January in a car accident at the age of 26.
New Britain, CT featherweight Nathan Martinez (1-0) had another very impressive pro debut, pitching a complete shutout (40-35) για τους τρεις δικαστές’ scorecards against Henry Garcia (0-2), despite it being an action-packed bout from start to finish. Martinez used lethal body shots, dropping Garcia with a left hook to the liver, and crisp combinations.

Undefeated light heavyweight Richard “Popeye ο ναυτικός Man” Rivera to Headline “Fight Night at the Capital”
|
Χάρτφορντ, Conn. (Μάιος 15, 2018) – New England’s hottest, most popular and hardest hitter, Richard “Popeye ο ναυτικός Man” Ριβέρα, will defend his Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) All America light heavyweight title at home on Hartford Boxing Promotions’ εναρκτήρια εκδήλωση, “Fight Night at the Capital”, Ιούνιος 16ου at Xfinity Centre in Hartford, Κονέκτικατ.
Ριβέρα (7-0, 6 KOs) has partnered with his trainer, Tony Blanco, and Hartford Boxing Center gym co-owner, Michael Tran, to form Hartford Boxing Promotions and bring world-class boxing back to Hartford.
Boxing’s rich roots in the Hartford market dates back nearly a full century, headlined by International Hall of Famers Willie “Will o’ the Wisp” Pep και Christopher “Battling” Battalino.
Other top-area boxers include world champion Μάρλον “Μαγικό άτομο” Starling, αμφισβητίες παγκόσμιου τίτλου Gaspar “El Indio” Ortega, και Ισραήλ “μάλλον” Cardona, και 1996 USA Olympic Boxing Team captain Lawrence Πηλός-μπέη.
Rivera will take on Jaime “Zarco” Solorio (12-3-2, 9 KOs) in the eight-round main event versus an opponent to be determined.
“There’s a lot of pressure fighting at home because, φυσικά, I want a victory, but I also need to be impressive for me to be recognized,” Rivera said. “I’m all about boxing. My partners, Tony and Michael, take care of the business end of Hartford Boxing Promotions. I’m excited about fighting June 16ου and I expect a great turnout. A lot of people know who I am from fighting all over New England. Τώρα, I want to expand my horizons. I have a huge following from our gym and church, but I want to bring non-boxing fans to our show to make them boxing fans.
“There’s no such thing as an easy fight. It all starts with training, which makes fighting easier. I may get an early knockout, but I always train to go the distance. My opponent has fought on television a few times against some fighters with good records. I know that I am going to be in a fight. I’ll be ready for war!”
This past April in New Hampshire, Rivera hit his opponent, Randy Campbell, so hard with a powerful right, that the force broke Campbell’s ankle only seconds into the contest.
“Fighting is a way of life,” Rivera εξήγησε. “All the training and fighting, it’s for the love of boxing, not money. Fighting never leaves a boxer.”
Rivera originally got his nickname because, when he was younger, his forearms were considerably larger than his biceps. Fighters in the gym jokingly teased Rivera about his enlarged forearms, calling him “Popeye,” and the nickname has stuck. Τώρα, Rivera showcases his Popeye persona in full, which has added many females and children to his growing fanbase of hardcore boxing fans. Ιούνιος 16ουwill open a new chapter in the life of for the man who’s always good to the finish because he eats his spinach.
