Positive Reviews Piling Up for ‘When the Lights Go Out,’ the Hard-Hitting Autobiography by Former Heavyweight Contender David ‘Nino’ 羅德里格斯

One thing, 雖然, is certain. ‘When the Lights Go Outis his 36th and best knockout.Bill Knight, 埃爾帕索時報
Positive reviews and media attention are pouring in for former heavyweight contender and fan favorite David “尼諾” 羅德里格斯, on the strength of his new book, “When The Lights Go Out,” a powerful memoir of his life growing up as a fighter.
Available through amazon.com, “When the Lights Go Outis priced at $17.95 (paperback) 和 $7.95 (Kindle).
In an inspiring tale of a bullied child growing into a fearsome warrior, 步驟, Texas-based Rodriguez, 誰去 35-2 as a professional including 35 科斯, winning four regional championships along the way, manages to pull at the reader’s heart strings while never shying away from the brutal realities he experienced.
From street fights in Juarez, 墨西哥, to his beloved former trainer being murdered, to accidentally overdosing and nearly being murdered himself by street thugs, Rodriguez’s story is an unblinking eye to a life very nearly cut short at several turns.
While Rodriguez’s cement fists allowed him a decorated career in boxing that is rare, what sets this story apart from other boxing tomes is his ability to convey the fears and anxieties behind his talent for violence. While watching a heavyweight slugger walk to the ring with malicious intent in his unblinking eyes, how many see a child hiding in the bathroom stall to avoid schoolyard bullies? Rodriguez bares his soul in this remarkable story, showing intelligence, wit and stunning personal insight along the way.
Rodriguez hopes this story will help other fighters recognize if their careers are being mishandled the way his was. He hopes underdogs around the world will be inspired to believe in their talents and overcome their fears. He hopes those dealing with substance issues or depression will find comfort in his resurrection as an activist for several causes, 最重要的是, he hopes you’ll enjoy this hard-hitting autobiography by a truly remarkable sports figure.

SHOWTIME 拳擊國際現場直播

在 5:30 P.M. ET/2:30 P.M. PT 來自英格蘭曼徹斯特

紐約 (十二月. 1, 2016) – 如果賽程強度與拳擊手的排名有關係的話, 埃里克·莫利納 (25-3, 19 科斯), 韋斯拉科的, 得克薩斯州, 可能被評為他所在部門的頂級拳擊手之一.

考慮: 去年6月, 莫利納去了伯明翰, 阿拉。, 挑戰不敗的WBC重量級世界冠軍 Deontay懷爾德 (37-0, 36 科斯). 莫利納, 令人望而卻步的失敗者, 失去了但也有過他的時刻, 包括在第三輪中用一記邪惡的射門打暈了維爾德.

今年四月, 莫利納前往波蘭並擊敗了該國歷史上最偉大的冠軍之一, 托馬斯·阿達梅克, 在 10 圓.

現在, 上 星期六, 十二月. 10, 住在 開演時間, 莫利納將前往曼徹斯特, 英國, 挑戰不敗的 IBF 重量級世界冠軍和深受當地人喜愛的選手 Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 科斯). 再次, 他將作為一個重要的失敗者進入拳擊場.

“很多重量級人物都沒有走過我走過的街道,”莫利納說. “這是一項邪惡的運動. 你輸了, 他們註銷了你. 很難像我一樣反彈. 什麼也沒有給我. 我已經賺到了. 我已經用困難的方式做到了. 我喜歡這個世界低估我, 但他們不理解我所經歷的掙扎.

“這是我第二次獲得世界冠軍, 我的第三次重大戰鬥 在 18 個月, 如果我贏了,我將成為歷史上第一位墨西哥裔美國重量級冠軍. 我將投入這場戰鬥,就好像這就是我的目標. 這是我最後一次射擊. 我已準備好用我所擁有的一切去戰鬥.

“我喜歡這些大, 大戰. 他們不會嚇到我. 我心裡沒有恐懼。 ”

以下是莫利納對最近一個問題的回應&一:

關於他即將對陣約書亞的任務

“我對這場戰鬥感覺很棒. 這些都是我想要並且想要參加的戰鬥. 在我與維爾德戰鬥之前我有 35 訓練天數; 為此我花了大約五個星期的時間. 我們認為這給了我們足夠的時間來解決訓練中必須解決的問題.

“這是我設定的使命——成為世界上第一位墨西哥裔美國重量級冠軍. 這是我的使命. 我期待與約書亞戰鬥並擁抱這個機會. 我每天都非常努力地工作並投入一切. 我想成為第一個墨西哥裔美國重量級冠軍.

“這場戰鬥的規模決定了一切. 我把所有東西都放進去. 但我知道我必須保持專注和放鬆。 ”

你覺得約書亞怎麼樣?

“明顯地, 他很多事情都做得很好, 但他的比賽還有很多我們還沒有看到的地方, 我將在這些方面測試他. 他在戰鬥中確實不需要承受太多的打擊. 我得把他放到他不舒服的地方. 必須有一個比賽計劃,約書亞也會有。 ”

世界頂級重量級人物有哪些?

“約書亞的態度很好. 我想說他是不. 1 重量級, 領先於維爾德和泰森·富裡。 ”

關於這場戰鬥是如何發生的

“一旦我得知克里琴科之戰可能不會發生, 我開始思考, '出色地, 如果不是瓦拉德, 那麼誰?’我看了排名,沒有看到太多的可能性,所以我知道我有機會. 然後, 我接到埃迪·赫恩 (Eddie Hearn) 的電話,收到了一份錄用通知,幾天后我就簽約了. 我感到真正的幸福. 我覺得這是我的時代。 ”

你會如何描述你的職業生涯進展如何?

“我不再猜測我能做什麼. 路上打架這麼多; 戰士需要這種經驗才能與約書亞這樣的戰士競爭. 你必須專注於當下,專注於你要做的事情,不要讓競技場的氣氛影響到你.

“我在路上打過一些最激烈的戰鬥, 所以我已經習慣了並且絕對認為這是我的優勢 (多米尼克·布雷澤爾和查爾斯·馬丁).

“有些拳手必須堅持下去才能成為冠軍. 成為冠軍並不那麼容易. 我的路確實沒那麼容易. 我被維爾德打敗了, 但後來我擊倒了阿達梅克,現在我正在和約書亞戰鬥.

“我一直處於弱勢的境地. 我經歷過這些戰鬥, 這並不影響我. 我已經準備好了。 ”

你在哪裡訓練?

“我正在韋斯拉科和我的團隊在我自己的私人健身房訓練. 我們引進了一些陪練夥伴. 我休了一年教學所以我還是去健身房了, 但現在我再次為世界冠軍進行訓練. 我們一直在努力, 投入額外的時間進行力量和體能訓練. 我們的計劃是慢慢來, 嘗試把所有事情放在一起,不要急於求成. 到目前為止,我們的目標是正確的。 ”

你什麼時候出發去英國?

“我們12月就要出發. 2 或 十二月. 3. 在此之前,, 我只需要專注於當下, 就是繼續專注於培訓,讓未來自然發展。 ”

你從維爾德之戰中得到了什麼?

“在與維爾德的比賽中, 看看第一個擊倒. 你看我是如何用左腳踝著地的. 我把它翻過來,感覺很痛,而且越來越痛 — 但我一直在戰鬥. 腳踝隨後打了六七週的石膏.

“除去與維爾德的戰鬥,這讓我可以與世界上任何重量級拳手相媲美. 對我來說, 那場戰鬥證實了沒有任何重量級人物可以穿過我. 這就是我現在和以前態度的不同之一.

“曾經一度我沒有經驗——我沒有參加過業餘比賽——也沒有現在的信心. 我現在知道我能做什麼和不能做什麼, 我更加了解自己的優勢和劣勢,感覺自己已經成熟為頂級競爭者. 我現在對自己的力量和我能做的事情充滿信心。 ”

你如何評價你在上一場比賽中戰胜阿達梅克的比賽?

“這是我職業生涯的巔峰. 把他擊倒在那裡, 這是我職業生涯中最大的一場胜利,讓我現在可以與約書亞進行職業生涯中最大的一場比賽. 我對那場戰鬥有著美好的回憶. 我需要全隊的努力才能擊敗阿達梅克,並且需要再次全隊的努力才能擊敗約書亞. 我們已無路可走,但我們會做好準備。 ”

點擊 這裡 對於照片; 勞倫斯·盧斯蒂格 (Credit Lawrence Lustig)/Matchroom Boxing

倫敦 (十一月. 4, 2016) – 不敗的 IBF 重量級世界冠軍 Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 科斯) 和挑戰者 埃里克·莫利納 (25-3, 19 科斯) 週五在倫敦多切斯特酒店舉行的開球新聞發布會上面對面,正式宣布他們的重量級世界冠軍爭奪戰 星期六, 十二月. 10, 曼徹斯特曼徹斯特競技場的 SHOWTIME 現場直播. 有 17,000 購票首日售票.

約書亞, 引起了英國的轟動 2012 奧運會重量級金牌得主, 將第二次衛冕他贏得的冠軍 查爾斯·馬丁 最後 四月 4. 約書亞此前保持不敗擊敗對手 多米尼克Breazeale 在第七輪最後 六月 25 在他最初的辯護中.

莫利納將獲得第二次獲得世界冠軍的機會. 莫利納自挑戰WBC拳王頭銜以來已取得兩連勝 Deontay懷爾德 在 2015, 包括 10-輪將軍澳超過前世界冠軍 托馬斯·阿達梅克 最後 四月 4 在波蘭.

以下是重量級人物的說法:

安東尼·約書亞:

“我不認為我會生鏽. 我不會說訓練營很順利或很棒,因為它總是讓身體感到艱難和疲憊. 我需要休息一下,因為我住在健身房, 這就是我從那時起就一直在做的事情 18 從那以後我就沒有離開過油門. 任務是在競技場的明亮燈光下表達自己,並在健身房的黑暗角落展示我們所做的工作.

“我開始為訓練營做好身體準備,然後為這個日期進行訓練. 我不想過多提及弗拉基米爾·克里琴科,因為那不是相關的對手 – 埃里克·莫利納 (Eric Molina) 將會站在我對面的擂台上 十二月 10. 他是一個強大的競爭對手,對我來說是一個巨大的挑戰. 我們正在爭奪我的腰帶,那些想成為世界冠軍的人通過以下方式提高他們的水平 50-60 百分.

“戰鬥之夜無處可躲. 我對埃里克的關注沒有改變. 弗拉基米爾沒有為我輸入方程式. 人們會談論他,我會回答問題, 但僅此而已. 他不在我心裡, 埃里克是.

“踏入擂台需要勇氣. 德昂泰·維爾德 (Deontay Wilder) 被譽為一拳 KO 藝術家,埃里克 (Eric) 勇敢地面對他的力量, 所以這表明他是來推動冠軍並奪取我的頭銜的.

“我不會參與別人的問題或故事, 與我無關. 不久前,沒人關心我在做什麼, 所以我真的不需要向除了我自己之外的任何人證明自己.

“這個部門已經被吹得天花亂墜,但他們已經這麼說了有一段時間了,他們會一直這樣說,直到有人再次主宰這個部門. 這與品牌和炒作無關, 這是關於像埃里克這樣真誠的人,他們是角斗士,為這項運動的熱愛而奮鬥, 並在戰鬥之夜將所有物品留在擂台上.

“有很多事關緊要,有天空體育和 SHOWTIME 為我們提供支持, 這是一個展示你所擁有的大舞台. 我認真對待我所做的事情並繼續前進. 我沒有劇本, 我只能說出心裡話; 無論埃里克的命運是什麼, 這就是晚上會發生的事情. 如果他的命運是成為重量級冠軍, 就這樣吧. 但我的命運是繼續我所走的道路,並在曼徹斯特爆炸性的拳擊之夜上演統治級的表演.

ERIC MOLINA:

我以前參加過這些戰鬥. 我沒有業餘經驗,所以我沒有學習這份工作 — 每場比賽我都變得更好. 我與維爾德打了五回合,腳踝受傷了, 所以你從我身上看到的一切都是在一隻腳踝上完成的. 這位年輕人所面對的就是這樣的人. 我用我所擁有的一切去戰鬥. 即使我受傷了, 我還在戰鬥, 因為我知道任何時候的一拳都可以讓我贏得戰鬥. 在重量級比賽中任何事情都可能發生.

“我知道這場戰鬥即將來臨,因為沒有人願意與他戰鬥. 讓我們現實一點. 所有其他拳手都想去和其他人戰鬥,爭奪其他腰帶,而不是面對安東尼·約書亞. 我是一個和維爾德有過交集的人——沒有人想和維爾德戰鬥, 但我做到了, 這就是為什麼我今天在倫敦並將在曼徹斯特 十二月. 10 全力以赴, 身體和靈魂. 我想要那條 IBF 腰帶, 我無法選擇選擇另一條腰帶或另一條路線. 這就是我的, 這意味著他將面臨職業生涯中最艱難的戰鬥, I can guarantee that.

“托馬斯·阿達梅克從未被擊倒, 所以在波蘭獲勝的動力是巨大的. 我覺得是時候從工作中抽出時間來投入 100 對此的百分比.

“回到家, 人們知道我是某種類型的戰士. 在我職業生涯的第一天,我在第一輪就輸了,這就是為什麼我的球衣背面寫著“反彈的藝術”。這些不僅僅是文字. 就試圖恢復體能而言,拳擊是最殘酷的運動. 一旦你輸了, 每個人都離開你身邊. 有些戰士說他們想反彈,但他們沒有勇氣讓自己處於這樣的位置. 我把自己投入到與維爾德的戰鬥中,我去了波蘭,擊敗了阿達梅克,然後反彈並向人們展示了我是誰.

“你必須在這項運動中證明自己,然後才能獲得獎勵. 我來到這裡並不容易, 我必須以艱難的方式做到這一點,但我已經贏得了這裡的路。 ”

Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev

WBO, WBA, and IBF Light Heavyweight World Champion

科瓦廖夫: “I’m excited and everything is going good. I’m waiting for this day, 十一月 19, and I am ready to fight.”

 

SK: “I don’t have anything personal about him (病房). I should to win this fight, I only have to prove (到) myself who I am. I am fighting for me first of all, and after this really for boxing fans. This is my boxing career since 11 years old and right now Andre Ward (是) in my way. And he wants to get my titles but I’m still alive.”

 

SK: “I don’t have any plans for each fight, just get into the ring and do my job. I must be ready for everything what he (病房) will bring.”

 

SK: “I got some experience from my fight against Bernard Hopkins. He showed that never give up. That you should to fight all 12 rounds and hope for your win.”

 

質疑: Do you expect Andre Ward will hold you and use his head?

SK: “Yes I think he will use it and I am ready for this too. It will be wrestling and not fight [笑].”

 

SK: “I think he (病房) will look much better in my fight 十一月 19 because he long time didn’t fight, couple years he had a rest and Sullivan Barrera was first fight when he returned. And with Alexander Brand he was better than against Sullivan Barrera. I accept that he’s going to look much better 十一月 19. In best shape.”

 

SK: “John (David Jackson) just gives me freedom to do what I want, what I would like to do. 你知道, just like adjust some things and advice between rounds about technique. Working a lot with mitts. I like work with him and feel comfortable.”

 

SK: “I don’t think that Andre Ward (將) let me use a lot of body shots because he has great legs and a lot of movements. You know he’s very smart. And I think first part of this fight is going to be a lot mentally, but I should prove that I’m Krusher and that I’m going to do my job. He’s going to do his job, me to do my job.”

 

SK: “I think my last fight against Chilemba, it was like a similar fight you know, because Chilemba’s a little bit style as Andre Ward. But Andre Ward is Andre Ward, a little bit different and stronger, smarter, undefeated and more motivated than Chilemba. I’m interested what he will bring 十一月 19 to the ring.”

 

SK: “We agreed two fights before our fight. I was ready last year to fight, but Andre wasn’t ready to fight without two fights at light heavyweight. We sign agreement that two more fights and then let’s fight in 2016.”

 

SK: “I work out morning time. After this some massage therapy, some treatments, after this some rest, little bit nap, cook the food, take a rest and go again to work out. Today two work outs, this was just the first. My plan was a little broke today because usually my first workout is morning time, but right now already almost 3下午. My interview is a workout [笑].

Curtis “The Cerebral Assassin” Stevens

WBA Continental Americas Middleweight Champion

質疑: Do you want David Lemieux and the rematches?

史蒂文斯: “We all know I want David Lemieux. 現在的問題是, is he willing to fight me? Who else? Tureano約翰遜, he was winning the fight, but the fight wasn’t over until the final bell rung, and he got knocked out. Some people say it was a premature stoppage, but me, the ref say, you know… I want to be world champion. That was one of my goals, to become a world champion and become a unified world champion.”

Q: How do you feel about being part of this big card?

CS: “感覺太棒了. Second big card of the year. The first one was Canelo–Khan and now Kovalev–Ward. Opened up the first one and now I’ll open up the second one. It’s a great feeling, 偉大. I’m very honored. It’s a pleasure.”

 

Q: What are your thoughts on De La Rosa?

CS: “A fight is a fight. You can call it a stay busy fight, you can call it a real, well it’s a real fight in general, but you can call it what you want to call it. A fight is a fight at the end of the day.”

 

CS: “I’m a different type of breed. I come from Brownsville. I’m just a different type of guy. What people fail to realize is that some people wasn’t raised how I was raised. 你知道? I’m from an era where you sign up in the US Championships, the National Golden Gloves, you couldn’t pick who you wanted to fight. This isn’t a show fight; this is a tournament. First day you got your Andre Ward, you got Gennady Golovkin, you got your David Lemieux’s. I mean the first day! No finals, no nothing. I fought Ward three times, he gave me my first loss ever. Then the second time I fought him, it was a US Championship semi-finals, then the third one was the US Championship semi-finals again. You don’t know where you’re going to meet these guys at.”

 

CS: “I will always be the chin checkers, that’s what I do, I check in and I check out, I will always be that. I got rid of Showtime. Showtime’s a thing of the past, that’s when I was with my old team. I’m with JDJ now, I’m the Cerebral Assassin, I got to run this tight ship wisely, instead of recklessly. Wisely, get it?”

 

CS: “John (David Jackson) makes me more relaxed, 你知道? Let my hands go a little more. Tells me l’m powerful in both hands, so don’t just look to go in there and knock them out.”

Oleksandr “The Nail” Gvozdyk

NABF Light Heavyweight Champion

Gvozdyk: When I first started boxing it was for getting stronger. Then I liked it and it became a hobby. Now boxing is everything. It is my life. It is my job. It is my hobby.

質疑: A lot of people don’t know you yet. What would you like them to know about yourself?

OG: I would like to become popular in the ring. I do my best and they supposed to watch it. I hope they’re going to like me.

OG: My nickname is “The Nail” and that is just a translation of my last name. I have had this nickname since I was ten years old so I am used to that. When I came here everyone started to call me that.

Q: Talk to us about your opponent.

OG: Chilemba is a very strong fighter. Very smart. He is skilled. He has good defense. It is not going to be easy. I am happy with my preparation so far and I am expecting a good fight.

Q: Talk about the transition you made from amateur to pro.

OG: Whether it is amateur or pro boxing, it is still boxing. You just have to get used to some different timing. You have to learn to distribute your power for ten or more rounds. You have to get more power in the pros but basically it is the same.

Q: Talk about your preparation for the fight and the dedication it takes in the gym every day to prepare to one day get to the level of Sergey Kovalev and Andre Ward.

OG: I think that if you want to be champion you have to train hard. You are supposed to do your best and train as hard as possible. If you want to be the best, you have to fight the best and you have to train with the best. That is what I try to do. Now Sergey and Ward have both proved that they are the best fighters and now they get to find out who is Pound For Pound #1. I watch them and I try to do the same steps to be like them.

Q: Who do you think wins Kovalev-Ward?

OG: I think Kovalev wins. I know it is like 50-50 fight and it is a very interesting fight for me. It is a fight between intelligence and power.

約書亞VS. 莫利納和懷特 vs. Chisora登陸巨大的十二月 10 演出

AJ 歡迎美國人來到曼徹斯特 – 懷特和奇索拉將爭奪英國金腰帶 – 亞法伊參加世界冠軍爭奪戰 – 奎格回歸

 

安東尼·約書亞MBE將在曼徹斯特競技場對陣埃里克·莫利納,捍衛他的IBF世界重量級冠軍頭銜 十二月 10, 在英國的 Sky Sports Box Office 和美國的 Showtime 上直播.

 

約書亞第二次將自己的桂冠置於危險之中,他連續第三次與美國選手交鋒,他在兩回合內擊敗了查爾斯·馬丁,從聖保羅隊手中奪走了冠軍頭銜。. 路易斯·曼 (Louis Man) 於 4 月在倫敦 O2 體育館進行比賽,隨後於 6 月在同一場地第七回合擊敗了多米尼克·布雷澤爾 (Dominic Breazeale), 將他在付費隊伍中的不敗紀錄擴大到 17 勝, 都在距離之內.

 

莫利納成為最新一個試圖破壞奧運金牌英雄的人, 這位德克薩斯人在六月挑戰德昂泰·維爾德(Deontay Wilder)爭奪WBC冠軍後,希望在他的第二次世界冠軍爭奪戰中獲得最高獎項 2015. 這位34歲的選手在四月前往波蘭並在第十輪IBF洲際比賽中淘汰了托馬斯·阿達梅克後充滿信心地進入了比賽.

 

“我很高興一切都已準備就緒 十二月 10 我可以集中精力完成擂台上的事情,”約書亞說. “關於我可能面對的對手有很多討論,但我所做的只是專注於以風格結束莫利納並上演一場精彩的表演.

 

“這個級別的每一場戰鬥都很危險,這也不例外. 我看到莫利納與維爾德進​​行了一場精彩的比賽,他現在正在波蘭擊敗阿達梅克.

 

“我預計這將是我職業生涯迄今為止最艱難的一場戰鬥,我將做好全面戰爭的準備。”

 

“世界上沒有哪個重量級人物能像我一樣反彈,”莫利納說. “這就是約書亞面對的那個人 十二月 10, 那個人是一個非常危險的人.

 

“他將與任何人見過的最堅強的莫利納戰鬥, 就像阿達梅克與最強悍的莫利納戰鬥一樣.

 

“我有信心. 這些類型的戰鬥不會讓我感到震驚, 我是一個非常強大的精神鬥士. 我清楚地知道我需要做什麼才能在有限的時間內做好準備. 我清楚地知道我必須做什麼, 精神上, 物理, 去那裡表演.

 

“當你走進大氣層時, 戰鬥的一半是心理戰, 如果你能在精神上保持在當下,那麼你在任何戰鬥中都有機會。 ”

Trey is definitely a good prospect and his most recent win demonstrated that. He has devastating power and is improving under Freddie Roach, who has done a fantastic job with him. 同時, it’s important to remember as a promoter it’s my utmost duty to take our time and move him strategically.”
唇 - 莫里森, 12-0 (12 KO的), continues to sell out shows as the main attraction and is scheduled to return in December at the Buffalo Run Casino where he is a member of the “Four State Franchise.” Since his impressive victory, Holden’s recieved multiple offers for Lippe-Morrison to return to TV in early 2017. 最終,, the plan is to mix in the right TV fights and untelevised bouts at the Buffalo Run, where his impact goes beyond boxing.
The economy here is struggling and for some, boxing is one of the few things they have to look forward to,“霍爾登說:, who promoted Tommy Morrison and has promoted Lippe-Morrison since his pro debut. “This is our professional franchise and the commuinity has rallied behind Trey. He is fighting for them and it’s very heartwarming to see the relationship Trey has developed with his fans. Wherever he fights, Trey is representing the “Four State Franchise” and our community. 最終,, the team is going to make smart decisions and get him to that next level when we collectively agree the time is right.”
Official particulars on Lippe-Morrison’s next bout will be announced 星期四, 十一月 3.

Salita Logo
Responding to recent statements made to the media by Jarrell “大寶貝” Miller that he is a free agent, 德米特里Salita (Salita促銷) has responded by confirming that his company’s promotional agreement with Miller is valid and subsisting. Salita also wishes to remind would-be promoters of the valid promotional contract he has with the red-hot heavyweight contender.
In part due to his excellent work, 磨坊主 (17-0-1, 15 科斯) finds his name on lips of boxing fans and experts worldwide, while riding an ever-increasing wave of forward momentum as the next great fighter from Brooklyn to fight for and win the heavyweight championship.
“不幸, this is what happens in boxing,” 所述字. “You bring a guy up from the ground level and when he starts getting up there, the wolves start whispering in his ear.
字, who signed the then-unknown Miller two years ago, is himself a former world-class fighter who knows the ins and outs of the boxing business and how rival promoters can cross the line.
I have recently become aware that AB Promotions and Warriors Boxing have been tortiously interfering with my company’s exclusive promotional agreement with Jarrell Miller. 今天, as a result of such interference, Jarrell has posted a statement on social media stating that he is a free agent and that he terminated the promotional agreement. My promotional agreement with Mr. Miller is valid and subsisting, and I intend to vigorously pursue all of my legal rights and remedies against Mr. Miller and those responsible for inducing to him to breach the promotional agreement. I am confident in my legal position and look forward to prevailing in court.
Coming off his third consecutive Showtime-televised victory on 八月 19, and the WBO #8-, WBA #9-, WBC #15- and IBF #14-rated heavyweight in the world, Miller is already on the fast track to a championship fight.
I’ve sent out cease and desist letters,” continued Salita. “But it’s also shows what a great job I have done. The heavyweight division had no American stars on the horizon before Jarrell came along. Now he’s all over the media, adding color and flare to the division. I’m working on several opportunities for Jarrell to stay active and lock down a title opportunity in the next 6-12 個月. Showtime is committed to the heavyweight division and I am honored to have had their support and have Jarrell as my headliner during the Olympics.

Road to Heavyweight championship continues this Friday for Travis Kauffman

讀, PA (九月 5, 2016)–Travis Kauffman believes he is very close to realizing his goal to fight for the heavyweight championship of the world.
In order for that to be realized, he must not stumble 這個星期五 night when he takes on Josh Gormley as part of the undercard of a championship doubleheader at the Santander Arena in Kaufman’s hometown of Reading, 佩恩.
卡片, which has been dubbed the biggest fight card in Reading, will be televised live on Spike TV, will be headlined by Daniel Jacobs defending the WBA Middleweight championship in a rematch against former junior middleweight titlist Sergio Mora. 在電視的共同特徵, undefeated lightweights Robert Easter Jr. and Richard Commey vie for the vacant IBF Lightweight title.
考夫曼 (30-1, 22 KO的), who has been training in Reading for this fight. knows he can’t slip up against the hard punching Gormley.
Training has been good and we have been working hard,” 考夫曼說:.
Despite what people may think, there is no added pressure fighting at home. It is just another day at the office. When I am in the ring, I just block the crowd out and I am just trying to look good.
In Gormley, he taking on an opponent has a record of 22-5 同 21 knockouts and Kauffman is not taken him lightly.
Gormley is a big guy and a big puncher. Any guy who is over 200 英鎊, you have to take seriously and I do not underestimate anybody.
Kauffman feels that a good performance should put him on the short-list for a world title shot in the next year.
We are hoping in the beginning of 2017 that we can get a title shot. The ultimate goal is to be champion of the world. I know a lot of fighters think its about the money, but in order to make that money, you have to be champion.
Kauffman may have already received that coveted title shot had he been awarded the decision in his December 12, 2015 bout with Chris Arreola.
In that bout, Kauffman dropped Arreola and most people who watched the fight ringside and on television believed Kauffman should have been given the decision. But Arreola got the majority nod, but later tested positive in a post fight drug test and the bout was ruled a no-contest. Arreola subsequently got a 7月16日 title shot, but was stopped by WBC champion Deontay Wilder.
I can’t dwell on that fight. It is behind me. Chris is a friend, but he didn’t take advantage of the opportunity. That was yesterday and I am only looking forward to my future.
The selection Gormley has it’s purpose as he stands 6’5and Kauffman sees this as a rehearsal for bigger fights down the line.
This is a stay busy fight, but he is dangerous. He is a tall guy and when you look at all the champions, 懷爾德, 約書亞, 憤怒, they are all very tall men. If I can’t get one of them next, I want someone in the top-ten. 我要爭取最好的. Everyone is avoiding Luis Ortiz, I would love to fight him. Anthony Joshua, 亞瑟引腳. I need fights like that because it will prove to everyone that I belong at the top of the division,but first things first. I have to be cautious of Gormley’s power.
考夫曼, who has very good boxing skills, has a different mindset for his future fights.
I learned in that fight, that I can’t leave anything to the judges. The way my trainer Naazim Richardson trains his fighters, they really make them believe in themselves. 週五晚, I am not looking past Gormley, I am looking through him, and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for me.
