Gormley Confident that Undefeated Ruiz Will Taste Defeat at ‘Detroit Brawl’ о Субота, Јул 16

, at Masonic Temple

Having already experienced being a world-rated TV-level fighter under tremendous pressure to win every fight impressively, Miami-based slugger Josh “Демпси” Gormley says he much prefers the lowered expectations of being considered the “противник” since coming back to boxing.
“There’s a lot of pressure on you as the A-side guy,” explained Gormley. “As an opponent, I’m supposed to lose, so when I win it’ll be that much more dramatic.”
Gormley (22-4, 21 КОс) will face WBO #5-, ИБФ #5-, and WBC #7-rated and current NABF heavyweight champion Andy “The Destroyer from Mexicali” Руиз (27-0, 18 КОс) in a non-title fight ове суботе у Детроиту. The two bruising heavyweights will meet in the 10-round main event of Salita Promotions’ latest “Detroit Brawl” event at the Masonic Temple.
Sponsored by Thomas Magee’s Sporting House Whiskey Bar, Улазнице за “Detroit Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, Рингсиде $93, Reserved $63 и $38, and Balcony $28, and are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Tickmaster.com.
Gormley says he isn’t prepared to go along with the expected outcome for a 41-year-old fighter taking on a top contender in just his third fight since returning from a 16-year retirement. He’s coming to Detroit to win.
“Он је савршен за мене,” he said of Ruiz. “I feel like I’m fighting the weakest guy in the top 10. He doesn’t punch hard and I won’t have to look for him. He comes forward a lot and he’s not Floyd Mayweather. I don’t think he can handle my power. Now that I’m older, I hit harder than ever and I’m in great shape. I doubt it’ll last the distance. I’ll get him out of there in about five rounds. Even if he does, I’m in great shape to beat him over the distance.”
Gormley, reportedly the grandson of all-time-great heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey, Професионалац од у 1992 and flirted with world-contender status before suffering a pair of tough losses and retiring in 1999. Међутим, бокс, like any addiction, eventually lured him back.
“I just want to take opportunities and see what I can do,” рекао је. “Победили или изгубили, I’m just carrying on my legacy and seeing what I can still do. My goal is to be champ of the world. But I’m not chasing that dream lie I used to. A long time ago I chased the heavyweight championship dream so hard that every loss was devastating. Сада, I want to take the opportunities as they come and win some of them. And hey, when I beat this guy, I’m back in the top 10!”
Scheduled in support of the main event that night will be Giorgi Gelashvili (4-0, 2 КОс) of Brooklyn via Georgia facing comebacking veteran Eric Hall (8-9-1, 4 КОс) of Durand, Michigan in a super lightweight six-rounder.
Такође, Сердар Худаибердииев (2-0, 2 КОс) of Turkmenabat, Turkmenistan, will face fellow undefeated fighter Steven Andrade (3-0, 2 КОс) Атланта, Georgia in a welterweight four-rounder.
The opponent for the long-awaited pro debut of Dearborn, Michigan’s “Southpaw Prince” Gheith Karim, a three-time national amateur champion, will be two-fight welterweight scrapper Dean Walsh Jr. of Monroe, Мичиген.
Detroit prospect Demetrius Banks (7-0, 4 КОс) is scheduled for a six-round cruiserweight match-up against Niagara Falls, New York’s Eric George (4-11).
Promising Detroit bantamweight Jarico O’Quinn (1-0, 1 КО), a recent Salita Promotions signee, will take on Sergio Aguilar (0-3) of Miami Beach, Флорида, у окршају од четири рунде; super bantamweight Zach Shamoun (3-0-1, 3 КОс) of Royal Oak, Мичиген, will face also-unbeaten Jose Elizondo (1-0) Сан Антонио, Тексас; and so-far perfect undefeated cruiserweight Clarence Dubose (3-0, 3 КОс) of Detroit will look to keep his KO streak intact against Karinn Davis (2-6, 2 КОс) Јацксон, Мичиген.

Cruiserweight Emilio Salas Ready to Represent New York vs. Detroit in ‘Detroit Brawl’ Main Event this Saturday

Оставите коментар

After getting knocked out a minute and a half into his professional boxing debut, cruiserweight Emilio Salas had to be wondering if a career change was in order.
But Salas shook off the embarrassment, and when he and now-fiancé Krystal Velez moved to Yonkers, Њујорк, and he hooked up with trainer Jose Guzman, fortunes began to change.
Салаш (5-1-1, 3 КОс) hasn’t lost a fight since and is now appearing in his first main event, a six-round cruiserweight main event against Detroit’s Demetrius Banks (6-0, 4 КОс) on Saturday May 14, in Banks’ backyard of the Masonic Temple in Downtown Detroit.
The pair will be headlining promoter Dmitriy Salita’s “Detroit Brawl” event that also features a six-round co-main event between undefeated bantamweight James Gordon Smith (9-0, 6 КОс) and Mexico’s Pablo Cupul (8-19, 5 КОс).
Улазнице за “Detroit Brawl” are on sale now and are priced at $28, $38, $63, $93, $100 и $123. Они are available at all Ticketmaster outlets, тицкетмастер.цом, позивом 800-745-3000, or by visiting the Masonic Temple box office.
“I have gotten a lot better with the trainers over here and I’ve had a lot more success,” admitted Salas. “I’m a southpaw with fast hands and I move around well and I punch hard with both hands. But one of my biggest things I have is heart. You have to want to fight and have heart and I do.”
Although he says he doesn’t know much about Banks, Salas says it’s ok because he prefers to figure an opponent out in the ring. “Normally once I get in there, I can tell what a fighter’s weaknesses are. He’s undefeated and I’ll be fighting in his hometown, but the people I have fought have almost all been undefeated and I’ve beaten them, so this is nothing different and I am not scared to fight him in Detroit. Most of my fights are in my opponent’s backyard. Ја стварно не знам шта да очекујем. I’m training hard for it and I hope for the best.”
Salas’s nickname in the ring is “El Jibaro,” which is slang for a country hick. “They call me that because I was born and raised in area of Puerto Rico where there is lots of forest and not many houses and people are sort of poor. It means I’m from the jungle. I like to do real Puerto Rican things like working with animals and riding horses. I love Puerto Rico and I dedicate all my; fights to my family and to the people of Puerto Rico. My goal is to win a world title so that I can take it back to my hometown in PR and show that my first fight wasn’t the last one. I want to show them that whatever you want to do in life you can make it happen if you work hard enough.”
Salas caught promoter Dmitriy Salita’s eye early last year, fighting to a draw against one of Salita’s fighters, Итало Переа, a former Olympian.
“Emilio is very naturally talented,” Саид Реч. “He only had about 20 amateur fights and seven as a pro and he’s already a very good fighter. If he continues to develop and improve, he will soon become a force in the division.”

Also featured that night will be Russian cruiserweight Alexey Zubov (10-1, 6 КОс) will look to bounce back from his first career loss by taking on the capable Ernest Reyna (8-3, 4 КОс) од Цорпус Цхристи, Тексас, у шестокругу. And in four-round welterweight bout between undefeated fighters, Turkmenabat, Turkmenistan’s Serdar Hudayberdiyev (1-0, 1 КО) will face Marco Russell (1-0-1) of Henderson, Невада.
In a six-round super middleweight scrap, Detroit’s super middleweight James Ballard (6-0, 3 КОс) will face Chicago’s Edgar Perez (6-18, 3 КОс); Detroit middleweight Darrell Van Horn (8-0, 5 КОс) will go against Torreon, Mexico’s Francisco Reza (13-17, 10 КОс) in a four-rounder; East Pointe, Мичиген, cruiserweight Clarence Dubose (2-0, 2 КОс) will battle pro debuting Jovan Blakely of Detroit in a four-round battle; and Brooklyn via Georgia super lightweight Giorgi Gelashvili (3-0, 2 КОс) will face Jackson, Michigan’s Alfred Hall (4-11-2, 2 КОс) у окршају од четири рунде.

“Because my experience, fighting a southpaw is not much of an adjustment,” said Banks during a break in training. “Being at Kronk, I’ve boxed world-class southpaws like (former WBO Middleweight Champion) Andy Lee and (current WBC Light Heavyweight Champion) Adonis Stevenson to name a few. It’s not a big deal for me. I fought so many southpaws, in the beginning of my career, it was more difficult to box a right hander.”
Banks, a former football star and a committed mentor to Detroit’s youth, says that despite it being his first main event, he’s not feeling any extra pressure. “The way I look at it, it’s just another day. I don’t let the situation overwhelm me. I guess after the fight is over I’ll exhale and soak it all in. As of right now I’m ready to go to war. It doesn’t bother me what order we fight in.”
Of opponent Salas, Banks says he’s not expecting any surprises.
“I didn’t’ need to see much of him to know what I’m getting. I probably watched part of a round and he’s what I would expect. I saw things in him I can exploit. I also know he’s on a five-fight win streak. He’s 6′ 3″ tall, out of the Bronx and he’s a southpaw. I guess he’s coming to win, but I can’t let this guy take food off my plate.”
Banks says he’s aware that at age 35, there is no time to waste and he is working hard at Kronk with head coach Javan Hill and assistant trainer Richard Phillips, knowing that this fight is critical if he is to ever rise to contender status.
“This fight presents a big opportunity for me, especially with Dmitriy doing so many big things in boxing. If I win this fight, it gives me the opportunity to sign with him. I feel like I need to hurry. Because of my age, I have a smaller window of opportunity and I understand it. This is an opportunity for me to step it up and get things going.”
So how does he see things going against Salas?
“I definitely see a fight in my mind before it happens. I always visualize them beforehand. I see the things I don’t want to happen, the things that can’t happen and things I want to do. He’s going to come out and try to show he’s tough and come to fight and win. He’s not me though. He’s not fleet-footed or as slick as me. I’ll trick him and touch him to his body. That will give me a lot of target. I will break him down from the body up.
