Henry’s son, Ali Salaam – Harrison’s father and former trainer, now deceased – was a professional welterweight who fought from 1984 à 1989 and retired with a record of 11-6, 5 KOs.

“We are excited to get back in there and get to work,” said Harrison. “It’s been a minute, but we are going to roll out like George Foreman did for his comeback. I have a short window left, so we are going to be active, keep winning, and eventually get back to the mountain top. Regaining a world title is my No. 1 goal, and I am feeling very strong at 160. It all starts once again on July 26 in my hometown. Let’s eat.”

Il (Fontaine) était un test, réel, Mais comme un sac de coup de poing qui est prêt à tomber de la chaîne. J'ai dû continuer à le frapper et il ne pensait pas à jouer en toute sécurité. L'arbitre lui a sauvé la vie; Il pensait à ne pas tomber. »

«J'étais ravi de me battre sur une émission comme ça,"Taylor a ajouté. «Il m'a frappé d'abord au premier tour, quelque chose que j'ai toujours laissé mes adversaires faire pour tester leur pouvoir, schémas de jauge, Et le comprendre. C'est comme dans le baseball quand un frappeur laisse passer un terrain sans se balancer pour voir ce qu'il a sur le monticule. Parce qu'il est un Southpaw, son droit est son jab, Et il voulait vraiment utiliser son crochet de puissance gauche. Il avait un bon visage de poker, Mais il ne pouvait pas le cacher quand je l'ai blessé. Il a essayé de ne pas montrer qu'il était déplacé, se garder debout, Mais il a senti mon pouvoir. J'aime être précis, en particulier lancer des coups de poing. Je l'ai puni à la fin, Jeter un coup de corps, un uppercut, puis deux crochets droits.”

«Je pensais que George Foreman aurait été fier de moi et pensait peut-être qu'il se voyait se battre quand il m'a vu du coup de poing. J'ai mis un spectacle. Je suis une combinaison de contremaître et de Muhammad Ali; Punching Punch comme contremaître, insaisissable comme Ali avec un bon jeu de jambes et une lumière sur mes orteils.

«Je ne sais pas si c'était le meilleur combat de ma carrière, Mais il était mon meilleur adversaire et le gars le plus dur que j'ai combattu. Il est venu dans le ring en bonne forme et a essayé de se battre. Sa chute était Pryce ayant raison de nouveau. J'adore jeter mon droit à droite et cela continue d'ouvrir mon crochet gauche au corps.

Taylor avait un 60-11 record amateur, y compris une paire de titres Golden Gloves de New York, Et il était le finaliste des poids lourds quatre fois dans les prestigieux tournois de championnat national de boxe américain. "La victoire TKO de Pryce était exactement ce à quoi je m'attendais - dominant, calculé, et explosif,»Sullivan a fait remarquer. "Il n'est pas seulement un autre espoir; avec un travail continu, Il peut être le prochain grand poids lourd américain. À chaque combat, Il prouve qu'il a les outils, la discipline, et l'état d'esprit être une force dans cette division. Nous construisons quelque chose de spécial, Et le monde est sur le point de le voir. "

O’Quinn Wins Again! Undefeated Detroit Bantamweight Sends Mexico’s Esquivel Through the Ropes in Second Round TKO Victory

Laisser un commentaire

Undefeated bantamweight prospect Ja’Rico “Great Lakes King” O’Quinn continued building his reputation as one of Detroit’s most promising young fighters on Friday night with a second-round stoppage of former world-title challenger Christian “Italiano” Esquivel of Mexico.

 

 

 

Fighting at the MotorCity Casino Hotel in Detroit, O'Quinn (maintenant 10-0-1, 7 KOs) showed why he is so highly regarded by sending Esquivel through the ropes for a TKO victory at 2:56 du deuxième tour.

 

 

 

Esquivel, a former NABF, WBC Continental Americas, WBC Youth Intercontinental, WBC FECOMBOX, and WBC Silver Bantamweight Champion, had no answer to the fast and powerful hands of O’Quinn. He falls to 30-16-1, 23 KOs.

 

 

 

“Christian Esquivel was a world title challenger and an experienced fighter. My goal was to make a statement,” said a happy O’Quinn, d'après-combat. “I did what was expected of me and rose to the occasion. I’m looking forward to having another impressive win before the year’s ends and starting next year with my TV debut. I am bringing world championship glory back to the city of Detroit. It’s just a matter of time!"

 

 

 

O’Quinn’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita, said he expected a strong showing from O’Quinn and says he got even more than he hoped for from the 23-year-old.

 

 

 

“Ja’Rico is one of the most gifted prospects in all of boxing! I was very impressed with his dominating performance. He is on his way to winning a world title and joining the list of the great champions from the city of Detroit.”

Tyner and Chambliss Grudge Match Ready to Explode on October 26 à Detroit

Laisser un commentaire

dans la boxe, there are “grudge” matches manufactured to sell fights, where the hostility is mostly acting. Par exemple, there are indications of that in the buildup to Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury’s upcoming showdown.

 

 

 

And then sometimes, two fighters really, really don’t like each other. Think Terence Crawford taking out Jose Benavidez Jr., recently.

 

 

 

In Detroit, the latter type of grudge match, a real grudge match, has heated to a boil on social media. With insults and threats going back-and-forth daily, outspoken Detroit boxing staple Lanardo “Pain Server” Tyner (34-13-2, 21 KOs) and upstart opponent Cortez Chambliss (4-0, 4 KOs) have been escalating hostilities since the day their match-up was announced.

 

 

 

The two Detroit-based welterweights will finally settle their differences in the eight-round main event on Friday, Octobre 26, at the MotorCity Casino Hotel.

 

Tickets priced between $180-$25 and are available through Ticketmaster outlets.

 

 

 

“He’s trying to bunny hop over me, but he’s not ready,” said an animated Tyner. The 43-year-old is known as a fearless and iron-jawed spoiler. A 14-year veteran, Tyner has been the 12-round distance with elite superstar Canelo Alvarez and world champions such as Lamont Peterson and Antonio DeMarco. He’s also taken out a number of prospects who found out too late they were in too deep.

 

 

 

“I can’t believe he even called me out,” continued Tyner. “He’s going to get a beating. This isn’t the amateurs and there are no shortcuts. This is not the door to come through.”

 

 

 

A heavily decorated former amateur, 21-year-old Chambliss has been flawless, jusque là, comme un professionnel. With power in both hands and above-average speed, Chambliss looks like a new face in the resurgent Motown boxing scene.

 

 

 

“This fight is personal to me,"Il a dit. “Not for the same reasons as my opponent; anger and hostility have nothing to do with it. Pour moi, it’s all about the energy of the risk and challenge. C'est ça la vie: ‘growth through challenge,’ so I’m excited for this opportunity.”

 

 

 

L'événement, entitled “Night of Knockouts XIV” is presented by Carlos Llinas, in cooperation with Dmitriy Salita.

 

 

 

“Carlos Llinas has delivered a consistent, successful series, which has served as a development ground for many notable names in the sport,« Il a dit Dmitriy Salita. “This match between Chambliss and Tyner is a classic crossroads fight, with a young, undefeated contender and a proven veteran. A ‘must win’ for both that I know will deliver for the fans. I am happy to be involved with the upcoming event and working together towards producing top contenders and champions in the championship city of Detroit.”

 

 

 

“This is the number one boxing and MMA series in the country that has been going on for nine years and I’m glad to be working with Salita Promotions on this event,” said Carlos Llinas. “It’s good for fighters and everyone involved when promoters can work with each other and provide a platform for fighters to reach the next level.”

 

 

 

Également sur la carte, one of the most promising young fighters in Detroit’s resurgent boxing scene, undefeated bantamweight Ja’Rico “Great Lakes King” O’Quinn (9-0-1, 6 KOs), will return to action six-round bout against former world-title challenger Christian “Italiano” Esquivel of Mexico (30-15-1, 23 KOs).

 

 

 

The MotorCity Casino Hotel is located at 2901 Grand River in Detroit. La nuit de combat, ouverture des portes à 6:30 pm and the first bout begins at 7 h. All guests must be at least 21 years of age with valid photo ID.
