Boxing Fans Help Salita Promotions Donate Over 3000 Meals to Forgotten Harvest
Promoter Dmitriy Salita proudly announces his latest installment of “Detroit Brawl,” Laugardagur night at the Masonic Temple, was a tremendous success, helping him donate over 3000 meals to Forgotten Harvest, one of the nation’s largest food rescue organizations.
In the night’s main event, WBO #5, IBF #5, og WBC #7 and current NABF heavyweight champion, Andy “The Destroyer from Mexicali” Ruiz (28-0, 19 Kos), stayed unbeaten and showed off some fast, powerful fists, as he stopped Miami’s Josh “Dempsey” Gormley at 1:42 af þriðju umferð.
Í öðrum aðgerðum, super lightweight Girorgi Gelashvili (5-0, 3 Kos) survived an early knockdown to stop Eric Hall (8-10-1, 4 Kos) of Durand, Michigan, in four rounds; cruiserweight Demetrius Banks (8-0, 4 Kos) of Detroit dropped Eric George (4-12) of Niagara Falls in the first round, but ended up having to settle for a unanimous six-round decision victory; super bantamweight Zach Shamoun (4-0-1, 3 Kos) of Royal Oak, Michigan, took a four-round unanimous decision over Jose Elizondo (1-1) San Antonio, Texas; welterweight Sedar Hudayberdiyev (3-0, 2 Kos) of Turkmenistan won an entertaining four-round unanimous decision over formerly undefeated Steven Andrade (3-1, 2 Kos) of Atlanta Georgia; Detroit bantamweight Jarico O’Quinn (2-0, 2 Kos) was impressive in stopping Sergio Aguliar (0-4) of Miami Beach in three rounds; and lastly, Dearborn welterweight Gheith “Southpaw Prince” Karim made his pro debut a successful one by stopping Dean Walsh, Jr., í fyrstu umferð.
Word, who donated a portion of every ticket sold to Forgotten Harvest, says the event’s success went a lot further than the boxing ring that night.
“When we started these events, the goal was not only to bring a regular professional boxing program back to Detroit, but also to give back to this wonderful city and I’m happy to say we’re doing it,” Said Word. “I couldn’t be more proud. Thank you to the fans who came out that night and to my wonderful sponsor, Thomas Magee’s. Thank you to my entire team and to all the fighters for their brave efforts. Thank you to the team at the Masonic and to all the big-name Detroit fighters who showed up in support of the event. We will be doing it again soon.”

HEAVYWEIGHT UPSET BREWING IN DETROIT?

Gormley Confident that Undefeated Ruiz Will Taste Defeat at ‘Detroit Brawl’ á Laugardagur, Júlí 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 “Dempsey” Gormley says he much prefers the lowered expectations of being considered the “andstæðingurinn” 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 Kos) will face WBO #5-, IBF #5-, and WBC #7-rated and current NABF heavyweight champion Andy “The Destroyer from Mexicali” Ruiz (27-0, 18 Kos) in a non-title fight laugardag í Detroit. 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, miða fyrir “Detroit Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, Ringside $93, Reserved $63 og $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.
“Hann er fullkominn fyrir mig,” 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, gerðist atvinnumaður í 1992 and flirted with world-contender status before suffering a pair of tough losses and retiring in 1999. Hins, box, like any addiction, eventually lured him back.
“I just want to take opportunities and see what I can do,” sagði hann. “Vinna eða tapa, 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. Nú, 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 Kos) of Brooklyn via Georgia facing comebacking veteran Eric Hall (8-9-1, 4 Kos) of Durand, Michigan in a super lightweight six-rounder.
Einnig, Serdar Hudayberdiyev (2-0, 2 Kos) of Turkmenabat, Túrkmenistan, will face fellow undefeated fighter Steven Andrade (3-0, 2 Kos) Atlanta, 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, Michigan.
Detroit prospect Demetrius Banks (7-0, 4 Kos) 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 KO), a recent Salita Promotions signee, will take on Sergio Aguilar (0-3) of Miami Beach, Florida, in a four-round bout; super bantamweight Zach Shamoun (3-0-1, 3 Kos) of Royal Oak, Michigan, will face also-unbeaten Jose Elizondo (1-0) San Antonio, Texas; and so-far perfect undefeated cruiserweight Clarence Dubose (3-0, 3 Kos) of Detroit will look to keep his KO streak intact against Karinn Davis (2-6, 2 Kos) af Jackson, Michigan.
Detroit middleweight Dorell Van Horn Jr. (9-0, 6 Kos) will face Rapid City, South Dakota’s Ryan Soft (3-5-1, 1 KO) í sex-lotu.

Manager John Seip merki Ítalska frábær middleweight horfur Daniele Marco Scardina
MIAMI (Apríl 6, 2015) – Veteran box framkvæmdastjóri John Seip hefur undirritað mjög skreytt ítalska áhugamaður Boxer Daniel Mark Scardina að sérstakri stjórnunar samning.
Seip er best þekktur fyrir að leiðbeina Peter “Kid Súkkulaði” Quillin World Boxing Organization (WBO) heimurinn middleweight titill. The innfæddur New Yorker stýrir einnig vaxandi breska frábær Middleweight Steed “The Stallion” Woodall (7-0-1, 5 Kos).
The 21-ára gamall Scardina hails frá Rozzano, bær minna en 40,000 fólk í sýslunni Mílanó. Hann byrjaði box í 2008 á aldrinum 16, eftirfarandi í fótspor frænda síns sem var keppandi á þeim tíma, auk fyrirmynd Daniele er.
Scardina, sem hafði 56 áhugamanna bardaga, handtaka efst heiður í fjölmörgum ítalska mót þar á meðal Rovereto National, National Silver Hanski, og tveggja innlendra Golden Gloves. Hann vann einnig brons Medal á alþjóðlegum atburði.
Í 2013, hann Hnefaleikar fyrir Italia Thunder Boxing lið í World Series of Boxing, vinna aðeins jafningi hans gegn þýska andstæðingi.
Scardina fyrst vakti athygli Seip á þeim heimsfræga 5th St. Líkamsrækt í Miami Beach, upphaflega opnuð í 1950 með Chris Dundee, og heimili óteljandi meistarar heimsins hafa æft þar á meðal Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston og Willie Pep. Ríkur hefð áfram á nýju 5th St. Líkamsrækt, staðsett nálægt á 1434 Alton Street, þar efst bardagamenn frá í kring the veröld eins og Bernard Hopkins enn þjálfa.
“Ég sá fyrst hann þjálfun í 5th St. Líkamsrækt og hann leit út eins og dæmigerður áhugamaður,” Seip útskýrði. “Hann kastaði breiður kýla og vissi ekki hvernig á að kasta góða jab. Trainers Guy Laieta og Dino Spencer byrjaði að vinna með honum og nú er hann að nota ná hans, berjast í fjarlægð, og henda samsetningar jabs og krókar. Hann er ástríðufullur um box, hlusta og læra á hverjum degi. Daniele hefur góða hönd hraða og kraft. Hann er myndarlegur strákur, of. Ég sá eitthvað í honum, óefnislegar eignir, og ákvað að kaupa hann.
“Dino er eigandi sem hefur skapað toppur-hak ræktina með góðu tækifæri sparring í andrúmslofti lögun svo mörgum hæfileikaríkum bardagamenn sem raunverulega ýta hver öðrum. Það er nú þegar ljóst að Danielle hefur batnað færni þjálfun hans þar. Hann er langur, fljótur og öflugur. Vinnusiðferði hans er ótrúlegt; Hann er fyrstur í ræktina, síðast að fara. Þú getur ekki meiða þessi krakki, annaðhvort. Við trúum því að hann hefur mjög bjarta framtíð.”
Ólíkt bardagamenn frá Rússlandi og fyrrum Sovétríkjanna sveitin þjóða, auk þeirra frá Suður-Ameríku sem koma til Bandaríkjanna til að koma faglega box þeirra störf, Ítalska-fæddur bardagamenn sjaldan hafa fylgt sömu leið og Scardina, sem flutti til Miami á síðasta ári og sefur á gólfinu íbúð bróður síns.
The Lone Italian-fæddur heimsmeistari sem börðust fagmennsku í Ameríku er Vito Antuofermo (50-7-2, 21 Kos), sem var WBC / WBA middleweight meistari í 1979-1980. Antuofermo, þó, flutti með fjölskyldu sinni til Brooklyn frá Puglia, Ítalía þegar hann var 17 og hann lærði hvernig á að kassi í Ameríku.
“Ég hef alltaf langað til að vera meistari í Ameríku,” Scardina sagði. “Það er American draumur fyrir mig. Ég held að ég hafa a mikill tækifæri í þessu landi til að vera mesta Boxer ég get verið með réttri aðstoð. John Seip er rétt framkvæmdastjóri fyrir mig vegna þess að hann telur að við getum Heimsmeistaramótinu saman sem lið.”
Uppáhalds Boxer Scardina eru Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux og Miguel Cotto. “Ég er að vinna á fullkomnun sem utan bardagamaður og helstu fanginu nær,” Scardina bætt. Ég er að berjast til að verða heimsmeistari.”
Scardina er gert ráð fyrir að gera atvinnumaður frumraun sína í maí eða júní.
