Nel Showtime Championship Boxing® carta tripleheader, il 23enne Benavídez (23-0, 20 KO) - che venerdì ha perso la cintura del titolo mondiale WBC sulla bilancia - ha segnato una vittoria per arresto contro l'ex sfidante del titolo mondiale Angulo (26-2, 22 KO), il cui angolo ha gettato la spugna dopo il 10th round.

“Mi considero un buon otto,"Ha detto Benavidez. “Avrei potuto fare qualcosa di meglio, ma nel complesso è stata una grande prestazione. Non volevo andare troppo veloce e lasciarmi esposto per alcuni grandi colpi. È un pugile pesante. Ma come ho detto, Mi piace fare le cose che nessuno ha mai fatto. Nessuno lo ha mai fermato e sono abbastanza sicuro che nessuno lo farà mai più sembrare così. L'ho demolito dal primo al round 10. "

Un professionista di sette anni all'età di 23, Benavidez è atterrato 56 per cento della sua potenza pugni nella lotta e la media 29 di 70 pugni lanciati per round. Benavidez ha chiuso lo spettacolo conquistando una carriera alta 54 pugni in tondo 10.

Angulo della Colombia, ora combattimento da Miami, Fla., è entrato nella sua seconda opportunità di titolo mondiale cavalcando una serie di tre vittorie consecutive, ma non è stato in grado di rispondere a nulla che Benavidez gli avesse lanciato.

Benavidez ha detto di essere deluso e imbarazzato per non aver raggiunto il limite di peso di 168 libbre venerdì. “Tutto quello che tutti hanno detto di me è vero,"Ha detto Benavidez. “Dovrei essere un professionista ed entrare in peso, ma questa volta non ci sono riuscito. È la prima volta che non guadagno peso in otto anni da professionista ".

"Devo davvero parlare con il mio promotore per vedere cosa c'è dopo,"Ha aggiunto Benavidez. "Combatterò chiunque per tornare al punto in cui ero. Potresti vedere da questa performance stasera, Potrei fare una grande esibizione contro chiunque e la gente pagherà per vederlo. Probabilmente tornerò subito al campo di addestramento per assicurarmi di non perdere peso. "

In caso di co-main, aumento leggero Rolando “Rolly” Romero (12-0, 10 KO) ha segnato una controversa decisione unanime sul precedente compagno imbattuto Jackson Maríñez (19-1, 7 KO) per catturare il titolo provvisorio WBA Lightweight. I punteggi sono stati 115-113, 116-112 e 118-110, tutto a favore di Romero.

La storia della lotta è stata i colpi affidabili di Maríñez quando il combattente dominicano ha vinto la battaglia in quel reparto (14 per cento rispetto a Romero 10 cento). Era Romero, tuttavia, che aveva il vantaggio sui pugni di potenza che si collegavano 24 cento (31 di 228) rispetto a 18 per cento per Maríñez (72 di 401).

"Non credo di aver avuto una brutta prestazione,"Ha detto Romero, chi ha predetto con sicurezza che un brutale knockout avrebbe posto fine all'incontro nei suoi commenti pre-combattimento. "Pensavo di aver vinto la battaglia. Indipendentemente da tutto, Adesso sono il campione del mondo. Sono felice. "

Romero ha subito un leggero taglio sopra l'occhio sinistro nel nono round su una testata, ma non sembra aver influito sulla sua prestazione nei round di campionato. “È uscito un po 'più duro e lucido di quanto pensassi,”Ha detto Romero. “Ma tutto quello che ha fatto è stato spostare l'intero combattimento. Non ha nemmeno provato a impegnarsi. È difficile mettere fuori combattimento qualcuno che non cerca di impegnarsi. L'ho ferito più volte con colpi al corpo e alcuni ganci. C'è stato un momento in cui gli ho fatto male con una mano destra e mi ha abbassato la testa. Era solo difficile finirlo.

"Sì [Gli darei una rivincita]. Non ha fatto niente di speciale. "

La 29enne Maríñez, che detiene il numero di WBA. 6 posto, è formato da Robert Garcia, che non era presente nell'angolo del Maríñez scegliendo di non viaggiare attraverso il paese dalla sua casa nel sud della California.

“È stata pura rapina,"Disse Maríñez. “Ho vinto la battaglia. Ho tirato fuori, out-boxed lui. Si potrebbe dire che non pensava di aver vinto la battaglia subito dopo. È una rapina. "

Nel match di apertura della trasmissione televisiva, Il contendente dei pesi massimi Otto Wallin ha registrato un TKO a 2:32 del quinto round contro Travis Kauffman, che si è nuovamente strappato il labbro sinistro all'inizio del quinto round e non è stato in grado di sollevare il braccio. L'arbitro Michael Ortega ha segnalato la fine del combattimento e successivamente Kauffman ha annunciato che si stava ritirando dalla boxe, solo pochi giorni prima del suo 35th compleanno.

Il 29enne Wallin (21-1, 14 KO) che aveva un vantaggio di quattro pollici in altezza su Kauffman, ha detto che si sentiva per il ferito Kauffman, ma stava dominando la lotta. “Lo stavo facendo a pezzi. Mi sono rimaste molte cose,"Ha detto Wallin. “Peccato che alla fine si sia fatto male alla spalla, ma lo stavo facendo a pezzi e lo colpivo con buoni colpi puliti. "

Wallin è sembrato acuto nel suo ritorno sul ring per la prima volta da quando ha quasi sconfitto Tyson Fury a settembre 2019. Atterrò 12 colpi per round e 54 per cento dei suoi colpi di potenza durante il combattimento. Attualmente vive a New York City e originariamente rappresenta il suo nativo Sundsvall, Svezia, Wallin aveva l'ex campione Joey Gamache nel suo angolo per l'incontro.

Entrambi i combattenti si sono ripresi da un infortunio nel recente passato, così come il virus COVID-19. "Non ho sentito nulla da COVID,"Ha detto Wallin. “Ho fatto un ottimo allenamento. Sono stato malato a marzo, ma COVID non mi ha colpito molto duramente. sono stato fortunato. Mi dispiace per tutti coloro che hanno perso la vita a causa di COVID.

“La prossima volta voglio tornare a New York e rilassarmi un po '. Mi alleno da molto tempo ormai, quasi un anno. Quindi voglio rilassarmi un po 'e spero di poter combattere di nuovo entro la fine dell'anno ".

Il 34enne Kauffman (32-4, 23 KO) da Reading, Pa., stava combattendo per la prima volta in cinque anni e sette combattimenti senza il suo allenatore Naazim Richardson, morto inaspettatamente il mese scorso. Dopo la lotta, Kauffman ha detto che si stava ritirando dalla boxe.

“Mi sono strappato il labbro sinistro preparandomi per il [Luis] Ortiz lotta,"Ha detto Kauffman. “Come un manichino, Ho aspettato cinque mesi per sottoporlo a un intervento chirurgico dopo la lotta Ortiz [Dicembre di 2018]. Ho iniziato a sentirmi meglio e stavo per fare un incontro di messa a punto a marzo, ma poi è successo COVID. Questa opportunità si è presentata e non volevo lasciarla sfuggire e mi sentivo bene. Nel primo round mi sono fatto male. L'ho sentito, ma poi è andato via e ho pensato che forse era solo la mia mente ed è andato via. Poi nel quinto round l'ho sentito e basta. È stato strappato di nuovo.

"Ho finito. Sto andando in pensione. Ho figli. Lo faccio da molto tempo,"Ha detto Kauffman.

&

Heavyweights Go Toe-to-Toe as Otto Wallin Battles Travis Kauffman

On Telecast Beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT

NEW YORK– Agosto 5, 2020 – Undefeated WBC Super Middleweight World ChampionDaviod “El Bandera Roja” Benavídezdifenderà il suo titolo contro l'ex sfidante titolo mondialeAlexis Anguloin a Premier Boxing Champions event Saturday, August 15 live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

IL CAMPIONATO DI BOXE SHOWTIME® trasmissione televisiva inizia a 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and also features rising lightweightRolando “Rolly” Romeroassumendo compagni imbattutoJackson MaríñQuestoin a 12-round battle for the interim WBA Lightweight Title, while heavyweight contendersOtto WallineTravis Kauffmansquare off in a 10-round showdown.

“David Benavídez will look to keep his perfect record intact, continue to display his superstar potential and further cement his positioning in the stacked 168-pound division,"Ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “As an undefeated world champ, Benavídez can expect a strong challenge from Alexis Angulo, which should create an action-packed main event on SHOWTIME. Combined with a battle of hungry unbeaten lightweights in ‘Rolly’ Romero and Jackson Maríñez, plus a heavyweight slugfest between Otto Wallin and Travis Kauffman, this shapes up to be another can’t miss night of high-stakes action.”

“It’s going to be great to be in the corner of David ‘El Bandera Roja’ Benavídez on fight night,” said Sampson Lewkowicz of 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 KO) 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., al fianco di suo fratello ed ex sfidante per il titolo, Jose Jr. In 2017, è diventato il più giovane campione dei pesi medi nella storia della boxe sconfiggendo Ronald Gavril su SHOWTIME a soli 20 anni. Rappresentando la sua nativa Phoenix, Ariz. Benavídez è passato da un prodigio di 15 anni a combattere con Gennady Golovkin e Peter Quillin, to world title contender with a 10-fight knockout streak from 2015 attraverso 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,” said Benavídez. “Training camp has been amazing. Fortunatamente, 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 KO) 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.”

Combattimento da Las Vegas, Nev., Romero(11-0, 10 KO) 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,"Ha detto 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, CEO di promozioni Mayweather. “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.”

La 29enne Maríñez (19-0, 7 KO) holds the WBA’s No. 6 posto, which he earned with victories over Rolando Giono and Kenin Betancourt while picking up eight wins between 2018 e 2019. Representing his native Santo Domingo, Repubblica Dominicana, 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 KO) 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, Svezia, 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 KO) owns a ledger that includes challenges of top heavyweights including Luis Ortiz, Chris Arreola and Amir Mansour, tra gli altri. The Reading, Pennsylvania native lost his most recent bout to Ortiz, seguente a 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. Mio padre, Marshall, 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 KO) battling Ghana’sHabib Ahmed(27-1-1, 18 KO) in an eight-round attraction.

Wise decision 4 years ago finds “Meraviglioso” Mykquan Williams 15-0 as pro today instead of elite amateur

Mykquan Williams (Foto di Emily Harney / Team Williams)

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Settembre 9, 2019) – If not for a critical decision four years ago, 21-anni “Meraviglioso” Mykquan Williams could very well be elite amateur training to compete for a spot on the 2020 USA Boxing Olympic Team, rather than the 15-0 rising star that he is today in professional boxing.

Williams (15-0, 7 KO), who lives in East Hartford (CT), has overcome life-altering obstacles in which his father was murdered when Mykquan was only eight months old, and the family house burned to the ground when he was 10.

Ineligible to compete for a roster spot on the 2016 USA Boxing Olympic Team because he was too young, Williams had two choices: remain an amateur for four years without any guarantees of qualifying for the Olympics, or get a jump start on his professional career. He chose the latter route and hasn’t looked back.

Williams was a decorated amateur whose style, ripensandoci, is much better suited for pro boxing than the amateurs. He had a 45-13 registrare amatoriale, highlighted by three gold-medal performances at the Ringside World Championships, in addition to capturing top honors at the National PAL and National Silver Glove championships.

I was too young for the last one,” Williams explained his decision to turn pro when he did.Williams explained. I ended my amateur career after there were scoring changes. I lost some tough decisions. I decided to take the next step and go pro to get paid. My style was more suitable for the pros. I don’t throw 100 pugni un giro; I pick my spots when I have openings.

I didn’t want to wait several years. I chose to turn pro (when he was a senior at Prince Tech). I’m already 15-0, climbing the rankings, and I’m getting paid to do this. I was meant to do this.

Williams is the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) Campione super leggero degli Stati Uniti, nominale No. 5 by the United States Boxing Association (USBA), e No. 12 by the North American Boxing Federation (NABF).



I believed that Mykey was ready to turn pro,” Kallen commented. “Under Paul’s tutelage he was far enough advanced and eager to tackle the pros. His style was perfectly suited for the pros and at 18 years old he was ready to take the leap. His youthful good looks made him an ideal young prospect.

My concern at that time was the Olympic Team was no sure thing,” added Cichon, who has trained Williams for the past 10 anni. I had the confidence in Mykey, but the risk wasn’t worth the gain. We decided to go pro.

Quattro anni dopo, instead of competing against America’s elite amateur boxers in his weight classKeyshawn Davis, Bruce Carrington e Dalis Kaleiopu — alla 2020 Olympic Trials and USA Boxing’s National Championships, Dicembre 7-15, in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Williams is one of the top 21-and-under prospects in boxing.

Vinicius De Jesus stops Chris Lozano to Retain CES MMA welterweight title

HARTFORD, Conn. (Settembre 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®, servizio digitale leader a livello mondiale di sottoscrizione per gli sport da combattimento.

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. Ora, I’m looking for the big show, the lions in the UFC.”

Nel caso in cui co-optional, Hartford heavyweightParker Porter (8-5) and his Brazilian opponentDirlei 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 (nella foto sotto) 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 took a split decision fromJustin “Juggernaut” Valentin, di Meriden (CT), in the first fight of the night steamed live on UFC FIGHT PASS.

“CESMMA 59” Oct. 25, 2019 at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, RI

Providence lightweightSean Soriano (12-6) will headline “CESMMA 59” on Friday night, Ottobre 25, 2019, at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, Rhode Island. A pair of undefeated, red-hot prospects, Peso welter di New YorkJohn Gotti III (4-0) and Connecticut light heavyweightWilliam “Knightmare” Knight (5-0), are also scheduled to fight on what promises to be a loaded card.

Local favoriteNick Giuiletti, fighting out of nearby Wallingford, jumped all over lightweightCody Schieve right off the bell, driving his over-matched opponent to the mat and unleashed a barrage of unanswered punches until the undercard fight was halted only 38-second into round one by way of technical knockout.

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

Connecticut bantamweight Will “Siracha” Smith took two of three rounds from Aaron Reese for a unanimous decision in the opening match of the evening.

The Special OneSharad Collier Back in action Oct. 10 at Foxwoods

 

HARTFORD, Conn. (Agosto 21, 2018) – Hartford blue-chip prospectThe Special One Sharad Collier returns to action October 20, on a show presented by CES Boxing, at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.

 

 

 

The two-time New England Golden Gloves champion made his professional debut this past June 16, on his promoter’s Hartford Boxing Promotions’ evento inaugurale, “Fight Night at The Capital”, in which he registered a sensational first-round knockout of Antonio Castillo Jr. (1-1), at Xfinity Centre in Hartford.

 

 

 

Collier will step-up in competition, fighting in to his first scheduled six-round bout Oct, 20, against undefeated Springfield, MA welterweight Derrick Whitley, Jr. (4-0, 0 KO), the son and uncle of well-known retired New England fighters.

 

 

 

I feel the same as I did in my pro debut, maybe less pressure, but I’m more familiar with the guy I’m fighting October 20th,” Collier said. “I fought and beat his cousin and brother in the amateurs. I feel like he’s out for revenge for them.

 

 

 

I’m motivated to be fighting at Foxwoods. I feel like that’s fighting under the big lights, where I fought once as an amateur. I signed my contract the first day, I’ve been training hard in the gym every day. My pro debut was against a 1-0 tipo, my second is against another undefeated fighter. I believe in my skills. I want to separate myself to show people that I am special.

 

 

 

The 21-year-Collier has dedicated his boxing career to his uncle and father. His uncle was murdered three years ago, outside of a venue in which Sharad was boxing and his father has been in and out of prison. Collier grew up in toughest part of (south) Hartford, spent time in a detention center and, at times, lived in and out of foster homes.

 

 

 

It was my idea to move up now to six rounds,” Collier noted. “I’m familiar with my opponent. I’m not sleeping on this kid but, if I don’t get him out early, it will just mean there are more rounds for me to beat him up.

 

 

 

“Siamo entusiasti,” Collier’s promoter Tony White aggiunto. “In his pro debut, he was up against a 1-0 avversario, and now he’s stepping up to fight a 4-0 opponent in his first six-round fight. That’s why they call himThe Special One.'

 

 

 

Here’s what ‘Specialstands for: S = speed, P = power, E = enthusiasm, C = charisma, I = intelligence, A = athleticism, L = looks.

Ringsiders Talk Show Set to Cover Pro and Amateur Boxing from corner to corner; Giving voices to those currently involved with the sport.

Danbury, CT (Luglio 13, 2018) – A new boxing talk show is set to hit the internet. Ringsiders will feature hosts that are currently in the sport of boxing, including both professional and amateur boxers, formatori, manager, promoters and more. The goal of the show is to give viewers a true insider’s look between the ropes. Another major difference of the show is that it will be taped, and feature different visual effects for viewers enjoyment as well as other innovative concepts.

 

 

 

Ringsiders will be taped in Champs Boxing Club in Danbury, CT, which is owned by professional boxing manager A.J. Galante, who will also co-produce the show. He sees Ringsiders as a show that can help give everyone involved with boxing a voice, and a platform to elevate the sport. “Even though we will feature it, Ringsiders is not really about mainstream boxing news. Our main goal is to cover boxing’s other 99% and their perspectives. Boxing is made up of more blue collar individuals then millionaires. We want to do something different, we are looking to highlight the club shows, the club fighter, the up and coming trainer, amateurs trying to find their way, A-Side, B-Side, non importa, if it is interesting we want to highlight it, and give people a true insiders look, and have a lot of fun in the process.

 

 

 

Ringsiders is set to have a rotation of hosts and guests, all who are involved currently with boxing, but two mainstays will include Professional BoxerFlyMike Marshall and amateur sensation Fernely Feliz Jr. Mike Marshall is currently 3(3 kos) – 1 as a professional and is also a licensed USA Boxing Amateur coach for Champs Boxing Club’s amateur team, the CBC Wolfpack. Fernely Feliz Jr. is a Danbury native and one of the top Super Heavyweight amateurs in the Nation. He is a 3 time Western New England and All New England Golden Gloves Champion. A.J. Galante says he couldn’t think of a better embodiment of Ringsiders, “I think both Mike and Fernely fit exactly what this show is about. Mike is a talented pro, who hasn’t always gotten the best opportunities in his career. He’s coming off a loss and in the process of making a comeback, but he is going to also be one of the best trainers in the game in time. He has a great personality and says a lot of things most just think. Fernely is one of the best kids in the world. He is super talented, and can give a lot of insight into the amateur scene, and can give insight into just how hard it is to train and compete, deal with high expectations and trying to prepare for a professional career.

 

 

 

The shows director of production will be Danbury native Teyonte Best. “I don’t come from a boxing background, but that’s what A.J. and I like about my involvement, just bringing a different perspective.Best stated, “We believe in different concepts, not telling the same stories, reporting the same news, and we are very much committed to providing an entertaining and informative product for viewers. We want fans and viewers to be involved, and we are working with a few interactive concepts we think will be awesome. As A.J. has stressed to everyone involved, this show is about bringing the whole boxing community together, and we will definitely succeed.

 

 

 

Ringsiders is set to debut in August at a date to be announced. Have an idea for the show or want to have your voice heard? Contact the show at ringsidersboxingshow@gmail.com

 

Fight Night in The Capital” RISULTATI UFFICIALI

Toot, Toot!
Richard “Popeye” Rivera smokes Jaime Solorio in 8th round

HARTFORD, Conn. (Giugno 17, 2018) – Rising Hartford folk hero Richard “Braccio di Ferro il marinaio” Rivera kept his pro record perfect (8-0) intatto, knocking out his tough opponent, JaimeZarcoSolorio (12-4-2, 9 KO), in the eighth round to capture the vacant ABF Continental cruiserweight title, la notte scorsa (Sabato) in the main event on theFight Night at The Capitalpro boxing card, at Xfinity Centre in Hartford.

 

 

 

The reigning UBF All Americas light heavyweight champion, Rivera (8-0, 7 KO) 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 White 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 ha detto. “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 “La Bestia” Bordoy, Jr. (6-0, 2 KO) eliminato Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (2-6-1), di 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 OneSharad Collier (1-0, 1 KO, fighting at home in Hartford, displayed his vast arsenal of skills, buttando giù Antonio Castillo, Jr. (1-1) in un round.

 

 

 

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, Ad essere onesti, I was a lot more nervous as an amateur.

 

 

 

Nuovo paradiso, 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, alla fine degli anni Luis “KO King” Rosa (23-1, 11 KO), 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) su tutti e tre i giudici’ 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.

Richard dei pesi massimi leggeri imbattuto “Braccio di Ferro il marinaio” Rivera al titolo “Fight Night nella capitale”

Giugno 16 at Xfinity Centre in Hartford, CT

HARTFORD, Conn. (Maggio 15, 2018) – New England’s hottest, most popular and hardest hitter, Richard “Braccio di Ferro il marinaio” Rivera, will defend his Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) All America light heavyweight title at home on Hartford Boxing Promotions’ evento inaugurale, “Fight Night nella capitale”, Giugno 16th at Xfinity Centre in Hartford, Connecticut.

 

 

Rivera (7-0, 6 KO) has partnered with his trainer, Tony White, 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 WillieWill othe WispPep e ChristopherBattlingBattalino.

 

Other top-area boxers include world champion Marlon “Magic Man” Starling, rivali per il titolo mondiale GasparEl IndioOrtega, e Israele “piuttosto” Cardona, e 1996 USA Olympic Boxing Team captain Lawrence Clay-Bey.

 

 

Rivera will take on JaimeZarcoSolorio (12-3-2, 9 KO) in the eight-round main event versus an opponent to be determined.

 

 

There’s a lot of pressure fighting at home because, naturalmente, I want a victory, but I also need to be impressive for me to be recognized,” Rivera ha detto. “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 16th and I expect a great turnout. A lot of people know who I am from fighting all over New England. Ora, 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 ha spiegato. “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. Ora, Rivera showcases his Popeye persona in full, which has added many females and children to his growing fanbase of hardcore boxing fans. Giugno 16thwill open a new chapter in the life of for the man who’s always good to the finish because he eats his spinach.

 

 

Nel caso in cui co-optional, undefeated Danbury, CT lightweight Omar “La Bestia” Bordoy, Jr. (5-0, 1 KO) will be in his first scheduled six-rounder against. Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (2-5-1), fighting out of Hartford by way of Puerto Rico.

 

 

The Special One,” Sharad Collier, fighting out of Hartford, is competing this week Omaha (NE) at the National Golden Gloves Championships, before returning home to turn pro in a four-round Special Junior Welterweight Attraction versus an opponent to be determined.

 

 

Combattendo anche sulla undercard, il tutto in quattro round attacchi, are Hartford featherweight Luis “Lobito” Rivera (4-3) vs. Phillip Davis (1-1-1), di Worcester, MA; pro-debuting New Haven, CT lightweight Anuel Rosa vs. Cleveland’s Roger Blankenship (1-3), New Britain, CT featherweight Nathan Martinez in his professional debut vs. New Bedford’s (MA) Henry Garcia (0-1), Hartford lightweight Jose Maysonet vs. Justin Morales, of New Bedford, MA, in a battle of pro-debut fighters, and another pair of pro debut fighters, Bridgeport, CT featherweight Jacob Marrero vs. Jimmy Santiago, of New York City, and New Haven junior welterweight prospect Jeffrey Torres (4-0, 2 KO) vs. TBA..
