Much at stake for “The Come Up” headliner “Fly” Mike Marshall in “The Come Up” Day-Night Doubleheader August 28 i Derry, N.H.

MIKE MARSHALL.jpeg
QUINCY, Mäss. (Augusti 17, 2021) – New England Heavyweight Champion “Fly” Mike Marshall has the right attitude as he prepares to headline “The Come Up” card, Presenterat av Kampanjer i granithaken, on August 28th at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.

“The Come Up’ is the name of the professional card being held during the afternoon session of a day-night doubleheader, separate admissions. The championship final of the inaugural “Granite Chin Invitational” will headline the evening portion of Pro-Am doubleheader.

Marshall (5-1-1, 4 Kos), fighting out of Danbury (CT), who was supposed to fight on the Fury-Wilder III card July 24 i Las Vegas, which was postponed until October 9th due to members of Fury’s camp contracting COVID-19. Instead of playing things safe, avoiding risk and waiting to hear if he’ll be fighting on the rescheduled Tyson-Wilder III PPV, Marshall is fighting Jose “Olimpico” Corral (20-27, 12 Kos), in the August 28th 10-runda, non-title fight main event.

“I was super excited to be on Fury-Wilder III so I could show everybody what I am capable of,” Marshall remembered. “When I heard Tyson had COVID and the fight was postponed, it disappointed me, but I got that opportunity and figure others will be coming. I stayed in the gym. I’m very happy Chris (promoter Traietti) got me on the card in the first place.

“This is the hurt business and I’m not one of those guys afraid of a challenge. Jag är en kämpe. The opportunity came up for this fight and I took it. I’m not one to sit at home waiting for a call. This is what I get paid to do. I’m focused on my job and not concerned about the uncontrollable.”

Marshall has won three fights in a row, all at the same venue as his August 28th slagsmål, including his New England title-winning performance last November, when he took a unanimous 8-round decision from defending N.E. heavyweight champion Justin Rolfe. In his most recent fight this past June, Marshal fought 13-1-1 Steve Vukosa to a 10-round draw, for the vacant NABA – USA crown.

“Winning the New England title meant a lot to be because it’s my first as a pro,” Marshall added. “A lot of people thought that he’d win, and he was the defending champ. I went in there and did what I had to do and took home the belt.

“I proved that I could go 10 hard rounds with a veteran like Steve. A lot of guys on TV can’t do that. Jag trodde att jag vann, but he’s a veteran who is well known up there. I took care of business and imposed my will on him. Steve is a good guy; I gave him a lot of respect. I watched his training wars with James Toney.”

Rising New England prospect Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (5-0, 4 Kos), an undefeated welterweight from Holyoke (MA), is matched against 57-fight veteran Dewayne Wisdom in the 6-round co-featured event.

The Sumpter brothers from Pittsfield (MA), light heavyweight Steve (1-0, 1 KO) and pro-debuting heavyweight Quintin, will be in action in 4-round matches. Steve faces Tahlik Taylor and 2020 New England Novice Golden Gloves champion Quinn faces Wallace Nass Silva (0-1).
Also fighting on the undercard in 4-round bouts are Lynn, MA heavyweight Dennis Ventura vs. Andrew Nolan (0-1), Holyoke junior middleweight Carlos Castillo (2-0, 2 Kos), Florida middleweight Josniel “TG” Castro (4-0, 3 Kos), Lawrence, MA lightweight “El Gallo” Kevin Rodriguez (0-1), Springfield’s pro-debuting middleweight Jamer Jones, Niagara Falls junior middleweight Anthony Leaks (17-7, 7 Kos), och Springfield (MA) super middleweight Laurent Humes (1-0, 1 KO).

Kortet kan ändras.

The championship finals of the “Granite Chin Invitational,” sanctioned by USA Boxing, with five title matches will highlight the all-amateur evening card featuring some of future New England future champions.

The most celebrated amateur in the finals, welterweight Arika Skkog (Nonantum Boxing Club), is the reigning USA Boxing Elite National champion, as well as a 2-time New England Golden Gloves Champion. In the championship match, she will meet dangerous Emily Jones (Everybody Fights Rock), av Woburn (MA).

Nashua (NH) middleweight Mike Fontanez (Nashua Pal), a 2-time N.E. Golden Gloves Champion and 2-time USA Boxing Nationals silver medalist, takes on Portland’s (MIG) Wade Faria (Portland Boxing Club).

Framingham (MA) welterweight Kenny Larson (Nonantum Boxing Club) is matched against faces Manchester’s (NH) Apostolus Lolas (Nashua Pal), Lawrence (MA) lightweight Jaydell Pazmino (Thrive Boxing) meets Worcester’s (MA) Jonathan Cortez (Worcester Boys & Girls Club), and Meriden (CT) featherweight Diego “King” Bengochea battles Framingham’s (MA) Fran Scata (Nonantum Boxing Club).

“Breakout” Possible swan song for Steve Vukosa, Statement time for Mike Marshall

Lämna en kommentar
QUINCY, Mäss. (Juni 1, 2021) – The main event on the June 26th “Breakout” card, Presenterat av Kampanjer i granithaken, matches two New England heavyweights heading in opposite directions, Steve "The Gentle Giant” Vukosa (13-1, 5 Kos) och “Fly” Mike Marshall (5-1, 4 Kos).

The evening card of another Granite Chin day-night doubleheader (separate admissions) is headlined by the 10-round main event for the vacant NABA United States Heavyweight Championship between Vukosa (13-1, 5 Kos) who will possibly be fighting for the final time – win, förlora eller rita — and reigning New England heavyweight champion Marshall.

Vukosa, fighting of out Quincy, MA, is a former WBC U.S. Heavyweight Champion, which he captured in 2019 when he won an 8-round unanimous decision against Joe Cusumano (18-2, 16 Kos). During his 20-year pro boxing career, Vukosa’s gained invaluable experience sparring at the famed Wild Card Boxing gym in Los Angeles as a sparring partner for world champions James Toney, Evander Holyfield och Wladimir Klitschko. He’s also driven a bus for the past 15 years for the Mass Bay Transportation Authority, börjar vid 4 p.m. and finishing around 2 A.M., after which he does his run in. But he’s now 44 with a wife and three children and his boxing clock is ticking.

“I’m still fighting because I love it,” Vukosa explained. “It’s hard to walk away from something you’re good at. This one fight and it could be the end. My wife will be happy. My body is starting to fall apart: händer, back and knees. They’ve been killing me. I used to be quick and fast, now I’m slow. I just want to have a good fight, win, or lose, but I want to win. I really enjoyed by days at Wild Card, those sparring sessions were like real fights, and my amateur days with trainer Jimmy Farrell.

“I saw my opponent when he won the New England title, I was impressed. (promotor)Chris (Traietti) called asking if I’d fight him, I accepted because I like to fight and a good challenge. I’m looking forward to the fight.”

The 36-year-old Marshall, fighting out of Danbury, CT, has won his last two fights, both on Granite Chin shows at the same venue as his upcoming match with Vukosa, including his N.E. title-winning performance last November against Justin “Crazy Train” Rolfe. Marshall isn’t looking at his opponent as over the hill because of Vukosa’s advance age, but he does plan to make a statement that, hopefully, will get him positive exposure outside of New England.

“I know he’s a veteran pugilist, a pupil of Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, who was an awesome fighter in his own right,” Marshall remarked. “This is boxing, allt kan hända. My job is to prepare for anything. I’ve had the best quality sparring in house with the No. 1 amateur heavyweight, Fernely Felix, Jr. My team works very hard, My manger, A.J. Galante, asked me to be sharper in my last fight (3-round KO of Tracey Johnson this past April), so I did what he asked me to do. My cornerman Austin Ampeoquio keeps me sharp with the mitts, and my head coaches David McDonough och Bennie ‘The Jet’ Little do a good job pushing me as well.

“I know Steve comes to fight and I’m looking forward to an exciting night of boxing. We are two warriors going toe-to-toe in the ring, putting on a show for boxing fans who really enjoy the sport of boxing, not this YouTube celebrity garbage that’s going on right now.”

“Steve ran into some bad luck after the Cusumano win,” Granite Chin president Chris Traietti commented. “A few fights fell through, then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. We literally had a fight in Germany fall out the day we were set to leave for the airport. After that we lost a lot of the steam from the Cusamano fight and kind of had to reassess. He picked up a tune-up fight a few months ago, but we now have to either regain some momentum by winning a fight like this or finally have Steve ride off into the sunset. This fight with Marshall will be no picnic. He has burst upon the local scene with some impressive performances.

“Like many coming to the fight, I have no idea how this fight shakes out, which makes for a great main event. One thing I will say, despite what Steve like to make people believe, in the event he wins this fight, it won’t be his final fight. Zero chance of that! If Marshall wins, I have no doubt he will get a television fight in the very near future on a major network.”

In the 8-round co-featured event, former N.E. heavyweight champion Rolfe (5-2-1, 4 Kos), Fairfield, MIG, will takes on Mexican challenger Jose Humberto “Olimpico” Corral (20-26, 12 Kos) for the vacant ABF Atlantic heavyweight title.

New England welterweight champion Mike “Bad Man” Ohan, Jr. (12-1, 6 Kos), fighting out of Holbrook, MA, will defend his title in an 8-round match against upset-mindedTyrone “Hands of Stone” Luckey (13-14-4 (9 Kos).

Indianapolis junior welterweight Dewayne Wisdom will be in his 66th pro fight against Nelson “Chino” Perez (2-0, 2 Kos) i en 6-rounder.

The pro segment of the afternoon’s Pro-Am card will be headlined by ABF Atlantic Cruiserweight Champion Yan “Wild Thing” Pellerin (11-1, 5 Kos) defending his title against Lewiston, ME challenger Cristiano Pedro, fighting out by way of Angola, i en 8-rund kamp.

Den obesegrade fjäderviktsprospekten Irvin Gonzalez lade till “Fight Night at The Zone”

Denna lördag på The SportsZone i Derry, N.H.

 

 

 

QUINCY, Mäss. (April 2, 2018) — Denna lördagskväll “Fight Night at The Zone”, Presenterat av Kampanjer i granithaken, har stärkts av det sena tillskottet av hot prospect Irvin Gonzalez till ett kort som redan visar upp några av de bästa unga, professionella boxare i New England.

 

 

 

Granite Chin Promotions är på uppdrag att etablera en fanbas i Granite State, ger en fläktvänlig, full underhållningsupplevelse på The Sports Zone i Derry, New Hampshire.

 

 

 

Gonzalez (8-0, 7 Kos), slåss ut från Worcester, MA, var en 2015 New England Golden Gloves mästare, som kvalificerade sig för 2016 Olympic Trials. Den 21-åriga fjäderviktiga prospekten kommer att möta mexikanska Francisco “Apan” Medalj (12-12, 8 Kos) i en sex-round bout.

 

 

 

Gonzalez, som inte har kämpat sedan december 1 1 (sensationell tredje omgången knockout av tidigare obesegrade 13-0 Marlon Olea i Providence), skulle slåss mot St. Patrick's Day i Boston, men han informerades dagen för vägningen att hans motståndare inte hade godkänt läkarundersökningar.

 

 

 

Jag är alltid på gymmet och jobbar hårt eftersom jag gillar att vara upptagen och vara redo,” Gonzalez sa. “Inga uppsägningar för mig. Jag har sparrat 3-4 gånger i veckan för att putsa mitt hantverk. Jag är alltid beredd. Jag blev besviken för några veckor sedan, men jag kämpar på det här kortet, och tillbaka på rätt spår.

 

 

 

“Jag fokuserar bara på min nästa kamp, April 7th, mot en tuff, erfaren motståndare. Han är en veteranboxare från Mexiko. Efter denna lördagskväll, Jag kommer att koncentrera mig på min nästa kamp, Maj 5th på Foxwoods.”

 

 

 

Tillägget av Gonzalez med ett kort med några av morgondagens stjärnor som Hartford, CT lätt tungviktsmästare Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera (6-0, 5 Kos) innebär att två av de tre bästa utsikterna i New England kommer att vara i aktion denna lördag i Derry. Och flera andra lovande boxare kommer också att vara i aktion. Rivera ansikten Randy “Rattlern” Campbell, av Ohio, i sex-omgången co-featured event.

 

 

 

“Vi är glada över att ha Irvin på vår show,” medarrangör Chuck Shearns sa. “Hans sista kamp föll ut och vi är alltid glada att hjälpa lokala fighters, speciellt någon av Irvins kaliber. Vi har fem obesegrade fighters i denna show. De är legitima framtidsutsikter med mycket uppsida. Irvin, Richie och Omar börjar få nationell uppmärksamhet och New Hampshire-fans får en tidig titt på dem. Veterankämparna på den här showen har också mycket att kämpa för. ”

 

 

 

Dorchester, MA lätt Gabriel Duluc (11-3, 2 Kos) rubriker i den åtta runda huvudtävlingen mot Dallas-veteranen Larry “Slomoshun” Smith.

 

 

 

Irakkrigsveteran Chris Traietti (25-4, 20 Kos), slåss ut av Quincy, MA, möter Indiana-veteranen “jammar” James Morrow i en åtta omgång, icke-titelkamp. Traietti, vars titel inte kommer att finnas på raden, är också co-promotor för “Fight Night at The Zone.”

Andra fyra-rounders på underkortet inkluderar Peabody, MA lätt tungvikt Russell Kimber (1-0) vs. Dustin Caplinger; Irländsk weltervikt Paddy McGee, kämpar nu ut från Dorchester (MA), gör sin proffsdebut vs. Philadelphia Bardraiel Smith; Springfield, MA weltervikt Anthony Velezquez (1-0, 1 KO) vs. Philadelphia Shavante Dixon, och Claremont, NH junior mellanvikt Rickey Ford (1-1-1) vs. Philadelphia Demetrius Thomas.
