Jamal Jamesek distira egin nahi du Abel Ramosen aurkako etxerako partidan

 

 

 

Boxeo gimnasio baten soinuak beldurgarriak izan daitezke. Erritmiko bat dago, abiadura poltsen kakofonia, eta poltsa astunak eta eskulanak aldi berean egiten ari dira, eta guztiak autoritatez uxuak!

 

 

 

Halako altuera izatera irits daiteke, ezen ia zure burua hizketan entzuten. Imajinatu Jamal James lau urteko haurra zela eta bere amak Minneapoliseko hegoaldean dagoen Circle of Discipline gimnasiora eraman zuenean izan zuen harridura., Minnesota.

 

 

 

Beldurtzeak segundo bat iraun zuen agian. James amorratuak egin zuen hurrengo gauza ikusi zituen borrokalariak imitatzea izan zen, poltsetara esku txikiak jaurtiz, beso osoa eskularru batean sartuz. Hogei-bost urte geroago gimnasio horretan bertan, Orain denek James imitatzen dute.

 

 

 

Afizionatu eta profesionalen garaipen itsaso baten ostean, Sankara Frazierren gidaritzapean, entrenatzailea bezain aita izan dena, James (22-1, 10 Kos) Ez bakarrik Circle of Discipline gimnasioak ikusiko du, baina Minneapolis hiriak eta nazioak Abel Ramosen aurka hartzen duenean (18-2-2, 13 Kos) ostiralean aurreikusitako 10 txandako welter pisuko borrokan, April 13, Minneapolis Armory-n, Premier Boxing Champions batean FS1 eta FOX Deportes zuzenean (9PM ET/6PM PT).

 

 

 

Txartelean, gainera, Edner Cherry beteranoa izango da Dennis Galarzaren aurka, arineko ekitaldi nagusi batean., eta Austin Dulay-k Chris Colbert-en aurka irabazi gabeko super-luma-pisuko partida batean.

 

 

 

29 urteko Jamesentzat, bost urtean lehen aldia izango da 6 oineko 2 welter pisua bere etxean borrokatzen dena.. Bidaia luzea izan da amaren eskutik helduta boxeoan hasitako umea zenarentzat.

 

 

 

“Jamal boxeoari ekin zion, ia berehala,” gogoratu zuen Frazierrek. “Dibertigarria da, gogo apur bat zuelako, hasi nintzenean bezala. Bazen behin Jamalek baino esperientzia handiagoa zuen ume batek irabazi zion, eta Jamal mutilari salto egin zion, burua kendu eta umea itotzen saiatu zen.

 

 

 

“Gaur egun oraindik barre egiten dugu. Baina Jamal, hasieran, eskukada bat zen. Zeruka egiten zuen eta zenbait gauza egiteagatik kexatzen zen, eta gogoratu, oraindik umea zen. Nik esango nion irrintzi hori mozteko eta ez zen hainbeste boxeoa ikasteko, baina Jamal adin horretan lan-etika eta diziplina zertan zen ulertzea. Nekez eutsi zituen besoak eskularru handiak jantzita. Ikusten zenuten Jamalek boxeoaren inguruan egotea maite zuela.”

 

 

 

James’ haztearen helburua egunen batean olinpiar izatea zen. Nahiz eta Estatu Batuetako afizionatuen sistematik datozen beste borrokalari nerabeei hainbeste gertatzen zaiena, James desanimatuta zegoen. Bere gorputzean hazi behar zuen, gehiegi, bere pisu mailarako beti altua zenez.

 

 

 

“Bilera bat izan nuen tripulazio osoarekin, txikitatik izan nuena, nerabeak zirenean eta oso onak izan zitezkeela esan nien,” gogoratu zuen Frazierrek. “Jakinarazi nien horietako bat edo bi izango zirela aurrera eta gauza gehiago egingo zituztenak. Diziplina eta fokua dela esan nien.

 

 

 

“Ume gutxi batzuk baino ez ziren zati horretan lanean ari zirenak, eta horietako bat Jamal zen. Orain berarekin ikusten duzu. Nire kontua da ez dudala nire seme-alabekin hitz egiten edo borroka profesionalarekin, baina boxeoa pertsona batek egin nahi duen zerbait da, eta dirua badator, handia. Boxeoa joko gogorra da eta horrekin diziplinatua eta arreta jarri behar duzu.”

 

 

 

Jamesek pro galera bat dauka bere erregistroan, eta oso talentu handiko Yordenis Ugasari da abuztuan 2016. James hilabete lehenago Wale Omotosoren aurka garaipen ikusgarria lortzen ari zen.

 

 

 

“Ugasen aurkako galera ikasgai ontzat hartzen dut,” esan zuen Jamesek, zeinen zabala 6-2 markoak zaila egiten du edozein pisu welterrentzat bere jabaren barruan sartzea. “Ugasen aurka forman nengoela uste nuen, eta astiroan motelegi nengoen eta bere borroka egin nuen.

 

 

 

“Bertan jakin nuen erabat prestatu behar duzula egiten duzun borrokarako. Gutun-azala gogorregi sartzen saiatu nintzen horretarako. Nire erreflexuak ez zeuden. Esango dut ez nintzela Ugasi erreparatzen, Borroka horretarako konfiantza gehiegi nengoela esango dut, Garai hartan. Ez nuen galerarik izan eta ondo sentitzen nintzen bere buruarekin.”

 

 

 

Orain James eszenatoki bikain batean dago, bere etxean. Minneapolis Armory berritua leku historikoa da ia 100 kartak artean 1915-1973, besteak beste, inoizko pisu welter handienetako batek zuzendutako ikuskizunak – Sugar Ray Robinson.

 

 

 

“Badakit Abel Ramos borrokalari gogorra dela, eta badakit etorriko dela eta ekarriko duela,” esan zuen Jamesek. “Ez da nire patiora etzanda bakarrik etorriko. Badakit borrokara etorriko dela eta erronka horri eusten diot. Egunen batean munduko txapelduna izango banaiz, Horrelako mutilak hartu beharko ditut, eta presioa mota horri aurre egin.

 

 

 

“Beste mutilak nire izena gogoratuko duela ziurtatuko dut. Ekaitza dator hementxe etxean. Nire atzetik datozen mutil hauei atea zabaltzen ari naiz.”

 

Gizon zaharrenek behin atea eutsi zioten bezala.

 

Joseph Santoliquitok idatzitako artikulua

Konfiantza ez da falta Chris Colberten armategian

 

 

Zalantza, diote, denbora luzez bizi direnen pribilegioa da. At 21, Chris Colbertek ez du eskubide hori lortu oraindik. Hala ere, adinak ez dezake ezer egin bere harrotasuna moteltzeko.

 

 

 

“Boxeoan zentratuta egon behar duzu, egon umil eta egon prest. Oraindik ere parte xumean nabil,” Chris Colbertek barre egiten du.

 

 

 

Bere zakarrez hitz egiteak batzuk mindu ditzake, baina zaila da umil mantentzea zure talentuak Herri Olinpikoan Cassius Clay bezala sentiarazten zaituenean.

 

 

 

“"Argiak" bat naiz, Kamera, ekintza-gizona,” harrotzen da. “Maite ditut argiak, Maite dut kamera, eta zalantzarik gabe ekintza horretan nago.”

 

 

 

Colbert (7-0, 2 Kos) bere ausartak babestu ditu orain arte. Porrot gabeko luma pisuko perspektibak telebistan debuta egingo du FS1 eta FOX Deportes-en Austin Dulayren aurka Minneapoliseko Armory-n., Minnesota ostiralean.

 

 

 

Batzuk ikusiko dute ume koipetsuak kolpatuko dutelakoan. Baina Colbert dagoeneko irabazlea da, aurrerantzean zer gertatzen den ere. Berea ez da modu egokian egin duen baten istorioa. Egin zuen baten istorioa da bere era.

 

 

 

Colbert Brooklyngo Flatbush eremu gogorrean jaio eta hazi zen. He, bere ama, eta bederatzi anai-arreba elkarrekin bizi ziren etengabe aldatzen ari den teilatu baten azpian, bertako aterpean bi egonaldi barne hartzen zituena..

 

 

 

“Nire familia ez zegoen hain hurbil,” dio Colbertek. “Erdiko umea nintzen, independentea. Beraz, Beti bakarrik nengoen, kalera atera eta bakarrik egotea.”

 

 

 

Colbert ikasle ona izan zen hazten. Baina erdi mailako ikasketak amaitu zituenerako, izkinetan pasatzen zuen denbora gehiena, non bere tamaina txikiak marka erraz bat egiten zion.

 

 

 

“Ez nintzen borroka horietatik ihes egin,” gogoratzen du. “Uste dut nolabait, Nire frustrazioak besteengandik atera nituen kale borrokaren bidez. Baina hor amaitu zen. Inoiz ez ninduten atxilotu edo drogekin eta bestelakoekin harrapatu. Banekien zer etorri zen ondoren eta zer esanik ez, Beti uste izan nuen nire etorkizuna argia izango zela.”

 

 

 

Colbertek boxeoari buruzko lehen proba adinarekin lortu zuen 13, Floyd Mayweather-Shane Mosley borrokaren sorreran lotu zenean.

 

 

 

“Floydek borrokan zenbat diru irabazten duen ikusi nuen eta esan nion neure buruari, «Egunero borrokatzen naiz kalean. Zergatik ez dut ordaintzen?'”

 

 

 

Unibertsoa ados zegoen. Handik gutxira, Colbertek eztabaidan sartu zuen lagun batekin. Lagunak iradoki zuen Atlas Cops-eko ring-ean ezartzea & Haur Boxeo Gimnasioa. Atlas Brooklyngo mugarri bat da, New Yorkeko Pat Russo polizia erretiratuak eta Teddy Atlas boxeo entrenatzaile ohiak abiatutako auzoko haurrentzako tutoretza zentroa..

 

 

 

“Sartu nintzenean banekien etxera nengoela,” dio Colbertek. “Ingurura begira jarraitu nuen, hango kultura ikustea, eta gogoratu nintzen Mayweather gimnasioan ikusten nuela. Entrenatzaile batengana joan eta esan nuen, 'Gimnasio honetan lortu duzun borrokalari onena izango naiz.’ Txantxetan ari nintzela uste zuen. Egunero etortzen nintzen hiru urtez jarraian.

 

 

 

“Behin gimnasiora joaten hasi nintzen, nire bizitza boxeoari buruzkoa zen. Eskolara joaten nintzen eta ez nengoen kontzentratuta, lana ez egitea. Baina irakasleei esan nien, ‘On nago. boxeolaria izango naiz.’ Denek esan zidaten ez nuela lortuko.”

 

 

 

Colbertek Aureliano Sosa etorkizuneko entrenatzaile eta aita-figura ezagutuko zuen Atlasen. Sosa izan zen bataiatu zuena “Lil’ B-Hop.”

 

 

 

“Hala deitu zidaten Bernard Hopkins bezala borrokatu nintzela esaten zutelako; jendeari eta gauza horiei burla egiten dion modua,” dio Colbertek. “Orduan, egun batean prentsaurreko batean nago eta norbaitek nire ezizena oihukatu zuen. Hopkins buelta eman zen berari deitzen ari zirela pentsatuz. Horrela ezagutu ginen. Geroztik gertu egon gara.”

 

 

 

Hopkinsek bere izenari aholkatzen dio, jokoari buruzko ikuspegiak partekatuz eta aurrera begirako zoriez ohartarazi. “Lil B-Hop” boxeoan murgildu zen, Mayweather ikasten, Pernell Whitaker eta Andre Ward beren estiloaren zatiak berean txertatzeko. Colbertek eskuak eta oinak azkarrak ditu, eta eroso da ortodoxo edo hegoaldeko borrokan. Bi geldialdi baino ez ditu erregistratu, baina eskuratzen duenean hori aldatuko dela uste du “gizon heldua indarra.”

 

 

 

Hala ere, Colberten maitasun aurkitu berriak ez zuen etxeko zoria aldatu. AEBek bezalaxe. Nazionalak hastear zeuden, bera eta bere familia desalojatu zituzten.

 

 

 

“Benetan pasatzen ari nintzen,” dio. “madarikatua bezala, Ez nuen inoiz nahi jendeak nire negozioa ezagutzea. Horrela nago denarekin. Gauzak beti niretzat gordetzen nituen. Berriz aterpean egotea, borroka batean lehiatzeko prestatzen saiatzea izan zen pasa behar izan nuen gauzarik zailena.”

 

 

 

Colbertek irabazten joan zen 2015 Nazio mailako txapelketa. Zenbakia bihurtu zen. 3-mailan borrokalaria sailkatu da 114 kilo eta ez. 1 at 123, Olinpiar Jokoetarako sailkatzeko aukera irabaziz.

 

 

 

Baina “jokoaren politika” eta beharbada dirua irabazteko erakarpenak konbentzitu zuen profesional bihurtzeko 18. Erabaki zuzena hartu zuela dirudi. Joan den azaroan, bere lehen zortzi txandan borrokatu zuen, outpointing Titus Williams in a battle of undefeated Big Apple prospects.

 

 

 

Paper On, Dulay is the toughest opponent of his career. Following an amateur career that included over 120 garaipen, the Tennessee native is 11-0 batera 8 KOs as a pro.

 

 

 

“These aren’t fights they’re giving me,” dio Colbertek. “This is what I’m asking for. A lot of these world champions came up taking the easy route. They’ll be 27-0 and haven’t fought an undefeated fighter. I’m only 7-0 and I’m up to my third undefeated fighter. And I plan to keep wiping them out.”

 

 

 

Along with this early crossroads fight, his long-time girlfriend is pregnant with his first child, a son. Colbert’s approaching both the fight and parenting with the same confidence that got him to this point.

 

 

 

“After I turned pro, I said to my teachers, ‘I told y’all.’ Oraintxe bertan, Nire burua hobetzeko egiten ari naiz, nire komunitatea hobetu eta nire semeari ez nuen bizimodua emateko. Nire txanda distira egiteko zain nago. Gorrotatu edo maitatu dezakezu, baina dena den, adi egon.”

Super-Sized Super Welterweight, Sebastian Fundora, Relaxed and Confident Going Into Action This Friday Against Also Undefeated KO Artist Veshawn Owens

Erantzun

 

It takes a big man to go into another undefeated fighter’s hometown and take him down, but as the biggest super welterweight in boxing history, Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora is more than up to the task.

 

 

 

 

The 6-foot-6 Fundora (8-0, 4 Kos) will face Minnesota-based KO artist Veshawn Owens (9-0, 9 Kos) Ostiral honetan, April 13, in an eight-round showdown at the Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The pair will meet on the undercard of the Premier Boxing Champions on FOX & FOX Deportes event featuring hometown welterweight Jamal James taking on Abel Ramos (9:00 p.m. ETA / 6:00 p.m. PT)

 

 

 

 

Presented by Warriors Boxing and TGB Promotions, the event will also see rugged veteran Edner Cherry battling rising lightweight Dennis Galarza in a 10-round bout and Austin Dulay and Chris Colbert clashing in an eight-round match between unbeaten super featherweight prospects. Also appearing on the card is sensational 17-year-old 154-pound prospect Joey Spencer (1-0, 1 KO), a former No. 1 ranked amateur and nine-time national champion.

 

Zuzeneko gertaera sarrerak, which is, orain salgai daude eta bisitan eskuragarri daude www.ArmoryMN.com.

 

 

 

 

“I’ve fought in other people’s backyards and I’ve already beaten undefeated fighters too, so I’m used to this,” said Fundora, a confident 20-year-old southpaw from Coachella, California. “I don’t know much about Owens, but it feels great being able to fight tougher opponents. People are now able to view my full capabilities, instead of knocking guys out in the first round and it doesn’t mean as much.”

 

 

 

 

With a heavyweight’s reach and height, Fundora is massive for a 154-lb fighter… a natural gift he works on in the gym to its full advantage.

 

 

 

 

“We trained hard and worked a lot on distance and a lot more power and strength for this fight. I’m not just the biggest, I’m also stronger than anybody else. We started training for this in January. After my last fight, Argentinan, I took a week off and then started working on conditioning in Big Bear. It’s been a great camp.”

 

 

 

 

Fundora’s promoter, Sampson Sampson Boxing Lewkowicz, dio “The Towering Inferno” is more than a “gimmick fighter.”

 

 

 

 

“He’s for real,” esan Lewkowicz. “He’s already beaten some good fighters. How he puts all that size and strength into 154 kgs., I do not know, but Fundora is too big for anyone at this weight. You have to get inside on him and it’s just too far to go because he’s punishing you for every inch you try to take.”

 

 

 

 

“I’m more than happy with the way things are going,” continued Fundora. “A victory in this fight would be a good stepping stone to hopefully fight for a regional belt next. I will have a lot of opportunities after I win.”

Rugged Veteran Edner Cherry Takes on Dennis Galarza

In Lightweight Showdown in Co-Main Event

Gehiago! Austin Dulay and Chris Colbert Square-Off in Matchup of Unbeaten Super Featherweights & Sensational

Prospects Sebastian Fundora & Joey Spencer In

Action in Separate Matches

 

 

MINNEAPOLIS (April 10, 2018) – Premier Boxing Champions kicks off the 2018 season on FS1 and FOX Deportes on Friday, April 13 with five action-packed bouts on a three-hour televised show from the Armory in Minneapolis, featuring welterweight contender Jamal James borrokalari Abel Ramos in a 10-round main event in front of his hometown crowd.

 

 

 

Co-nagusia gertatuz gero, rugged veteran Edner Cherry clashes with rising lightweight Dennis Galarza in a 10-round bout and unbeaten super featherweights Austin Dulay eta Chris Colbert square off in an eight-round match.

 

 

 

Gehiago, exciting 6-foot-6 super welterweight Sebastian “Towering Inferno” Fundora(8-0, 4 Kos) hartuko on Veshawn Owens (9-0, 9 Kos) in an eight-round match of unbeaten prospects. Sensational 18-year-old, 154-pound prospect Joey Spencer (1-0, 1 KO), a former No. 1 ranked amateur and nine-time national champion, gudu Ousmane Sylla (1-2, 1 Kos) in a four round match. The televised action starts at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

The event marks the return of boxing to the Minneapolis Armory, a historic venue that hosted nearly 100 kartak artean 1915 eta 1973, including a show headlined by all-time great Sugar Ray Robinson in 1942.

 

 

 

“This show is the perfect example of what Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes is all about – boxers at various stages of their career, each with something to prove in all action matches,” said Tim Smith, Vice President of Communications for Haymon Boxing. “The stakes are raised for Jamal James because he’s fighting in front of his hometown crowd and yo get in title the mix at 147 pounds and Abel Ramos wants to spoil all of that.

 

 

 

“Veteran Edner Cherry, who has tangled with Paulie Malignaggi and Timothy Bradley, and Dennis Galarza are both looking fighting to get into title contention. And it’s rare for unbeaten prospects like Austin Dulay and Chris Colbert to clash this soon in their careers. It all promises to be an exciting night of boxing on a night when the sports calendar isn’t crowded.”

 

 

 

James (22-1, 10 Kos) is coming off the biggest victory of his career – a knockout over tough veteran Diego Chaves on Dec. 15. The 29-year-old James joined unified 147-pound champion Keith Thurman as the only boxer to have knocked out the durable Argentine. It was James second straight victory since suffering the only loss of his career – a unanimous decision defeat to Yordenis Ugas on Aug. 12, 2016. James hasn’t fought in his hometown of Minneapolis since he scored a unanimous decision over Mohammed Kayongo in 2013.

 

 

 

Ramos (18-2-2, 13 Kos) will complete his move to the welterweight division by taking on James after making his welterweight debut with a stoppage of Emmanuel Robles last July. The 26-year-old out of Arizona has won three of his last four fights and his only pro defeats have come at the hands of top 140-pound contenders Regis Prograis and Ivan Baranchyk.

 

 

 

Cherry (36-7-2, 19 Kos) has defeated once-beaten contenders Haskell Rhodes and Omar Douglas since losing a split decision to Jose Pedraza in a 130-pound world title match in 2015. The 35-year-old Cherry of Wauchula, Florida has previously challenged Tim Bradley and Paulie Malignaggi during his career that included a 10-fight win streak after the Bradley bout.

 

 

 

Galarza (16-2, 9 Kos), an outstanding amateur boxer, is stepping up in competition with this matchup against the more experienced Cherry. The 25-year-old Galarza, who’s from Brooklyn but trains in Orlando, has won three straight fights since losing a split decision to Cesar Alan Valenzuela on Sept. 16, 2016.

 

 

 

Dulay (11-0, 8 Kos) was busy last year, fighting four times with only one fight going the distance. The 22-year-old southpaw from Nashville, Tennessee most recently scored a TKO victory over Carlos Padilla last August.

 

 

 

Colbert (7-0, 2 Kos) has one of the most decorated amateur careers in New York City as he fights out of the renowned Atlas Cops and Kids Gym in Brooklyn. The 21-year-old is noted for his blazing hand and foot speed and he enters this fight coming off a unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Titus Williams last November.

Zuzeneko gertaera sarrerak, which is promoted by Warriors Boxing and TGB Promotions, salgai Ostirala, March 16 and will be available by visiting www.ArmoryMN.com.
Apirilaren The 13 event marks the return of boxing to the Minneapolis Armory, a historic venue that hosted nearly 100 kartak artean 1915 eta 1973, including a show headlined by all-time great Sugar Ray Robinson in 1942.
“Warriors Boxing is thrilled that PBC, FS1 and FOX Deportes are bringing professional boxing back to Minneapolis on Ostirala, April 13,” esan Leon Margules, Warriors Boxing presidentea. “There couldn’t be a more fitting venue than the newly renovated, historic Minnesota Armory in downtown Minneapolis. The Armory has a rich boxing tradition and has not hosted a boxing event for 45 urte. It will be a great night for the highly acclaimed PBC on FS1 and FOX Deportes series in this beautiful and historic building.”
“Jamal James has staked his position as a rising contender in the welterweight division and has the kind of fan-friendly style that fits perfectly in the talent-rich 147-pound class,” said Tom Brown, TGB Promozioak lehendakaria. “Ramos doesn’t back down and will certainly test Jamal in front of his hometown crowd. Dennis Galarza will face his own challenge when he goes up against the tough veteran Edner Cherry and it’s a rare treat to see two young unbeaten prospects like Dulay and Colbert squaring off this early in their careers. All the fights have a significant bearing on the future of the boxers involved and that will work out well for the fans.”
James (22-1, 10 Kos) is coming off the biggest victory of his career – a knockout over tough veteran Diego Chaves on Abendu. 15. The 29-year-old James joined unified 147-pound champion Keith Thurman as the only boxer to have knocked out the durable Argentine. It was James second straight victory since suffering the only loss of his career – a unanimous decision defeat to Yordenis Ugas on Aug. 12, 2016. James hasn’t fought in his hometown of Minneapolis since he scored a unanimous decision over Mohammed Kayongo in 2013.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to compete on this platform and to show the nation and the world that Minnesota has great fighters and an enthusiastic fan base for boxing,” esan zuen Jamesek. “Abel Ramos is a tough guy who will come to fight, but coming off the big win over Chaves, I’m in a position in my career where I’m trying to reach that world championship level. I have to continue to demonstrate the ability to perform under pressure in difficult fights. I know he’s coming to pull off an upset, but that’s not happening.”
Ramos (18-2-2, 13 Kos) will complete his move to the welterweight division by taking on James after making his welterweight debut with a stoppage of Emmanuel Robles last July. The 26-year-old out of Arizona has won three of his last four fights and his only pro defeats have come at the hands of top 140-pound contenders Regis Prograis and Ivan Baranchyk.
“I’m a real Mexican warrior and I never back down from a fight,” said Ramos. “I’m not worried about going into Jamal James hometown and fighting him there. I’m going to disappoint Jamal and all his fans in Minneapolis, because I’m coming to win.”
Cherry (36-7-2, 19 Kos) has defeated once-beaten contenders Haskell Rhodes and Omar Douglas since losing a split decision to Jose Pedraza in a 130-pound world title match in 2015. The 35-year-old Cherry of Wauchula, Florida has previously challenged Tim Bradley and Paulie Malignaggi during his career that included a 10-fight win streak after the Bradley bout.
“Dennis Galarza is a great, young fighter who is on the rise, coming to win and looking to become a world champion, but he is in for a real fight,” esan Cherry. “I’m not taking this fight lightly, I’m getting ready, and I’m ready to go all out on April 13. After this, I hope I’ll get my third opportunity at a world title. I took the Lydell Rhodes, Omar Douglas and Jose Pedraza fights because I’m a warrior who wants the opportunity to fight the best, eta, ultimately, to fight for a world title. The Pedraza fight didn’t go my way on the scorecards, but the whole world knows the true outcome of that fight. I went back to work and I’m ready to prove it again.”
Galarza (16-2, 9 Kos), an outstanding amateur boxer, is stepping up in competition with this matchup against the more experienced Cherry. The 25-year-old Galarza, who’s from Brooklyn but trains in Orlando, has won three straight fights since losing a split decision to Cesar Alan Valenzuela on Sept. 16, 2016.
“My eyes have been on Edner as a friend and as a fan since I was young, but this is business and I’m going to be ready,” Said Galarza. “Edner is a true warrior who never lets up and a crafty veteran who has fought a lot of great competition. The Pedraza fight I thought he possibly did win. A lot of people duck Edner Cherry because he beat top guys in Rhodes and Douglas his past two fights, plus he can punch with power. People think Edner’s going to break me down, but I took the fight that nobody wants to take. I believe in my talents and I’m ready to make my mark. This fight will demonstrate the type of fighter that I am.”
It is rare to see a match between two young prospects on the rise this early in their careers, but Dulay and Colbert are both eager for that challenge. Dulay (11-0, 8 Kos) was busy last year, fighting four times with only one fight going the distance. The 22-year-old southpaw from Nashville, Tennessee most recently scored a TKO victory over Carlos Padilla last August.
Colbert (7-0, 2 Kos) has one of the most decorated amateur careers in New York City as he fights out of the renowned Atlas Cops and Kids Gym in Brooklyn. The 21-year-old is noted for his blazing hand and foot speed and he enters this fight coming off a unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Titus Williams last November.

“I’m very happy to be back after a long layoff,” Said Vargas. “It was a long time off and I felt the ring rust. I stayed patient and tried to stick to my distance. The inconsistencies affected me more than I thought it would and Herrera kept pushing the fight.
“I was setting him up and waiting for him to punch before attacking him. I expect more in my next performance and I’m disappointed I didn’t finish him, but a win is a win. We’ll get back to the drawing board. I showed I have the power with the knockdown, I just have to finish it off next time.”
Vargas was effective early and often, landing a strong lead left hook to the head of Herrera at the end of round one before controlling the second round with series of combinations. Herrera slowly increased his output as the fight went on, but was never able to slow down the attack of Vargas.
Midway through round six, Vargas sent Herrera to the canvas with a left hook that initially stunned him and a combination that put him down. Herrera rose to the canvas but continued to be picked apart by the skilled and composed Vargas.
“I felt relaxed in the ring,” Said Vargas. “I was trying finish him with the hook. His head movement threw me off and kept him in the fight. We have to keep improving and look better in the next fight.”
Ondoren 10 erronda, Vargas earned a unanimous decision by the score of 100-89 three times in his first fight in 13 hilabete as he seeks another title in the welterweight division.
“I’m ready for anyone,” Said Vargas. “I’m going to start preparing bihar for anyone. I’m looking forward to facing Keith Thurman, the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Lamont Peterson winner, or Danny Garcia. I’m back and I’m ready to stay busy and get back in the ring as soon as possible to reach my goals.”
The co-main event saw once-beaten welterweight Jamal James (22-1, 10 Kos) earn a third-round knockout over veteran contender Diego Chaves (26-3-1, 22 Kos) with a sensational left hook to the body that gave James the most impressive victory of his career to date.
James used his jab and significant height advantage from the outset in an attempt to set up combinations, while Chaves looked to attack the body and close the distance. Both fighters traded attacks early, but it was James who broke through first with a barrage in the third round.
After stunning Chaves with a right hand, James went on the attack as his opponent stopped throwing punches. He took full advantage of the opportunity by perfectly placing the left hook to the body that sent Chaves down and eventually counted out by referee Tom Taylor.
In an action-packed super lightweight showdown, John Molina Jr.. (30-7, 24 Kos) delivered a fourth round stoppage of Ivan Redkach (20-3-1, 16 Kos) after both men hit the canvas in the first three rounds.
“Borroka handia izan zen,” Said Molina. “Herdoildu txiki bat izan dut, but it’s not an excuse, Redkach was a really tough guy. We got the job done and never gave up. A fight is a fight, it’s not over until it’s over.”
Both men came out looking to throw power punches from the start, and it was Redkach who struck first, pinning Molina in the corner in round two before dropping him with a combination. Molina was able to drastically change the tide of the fight in round three fight a perfect right hand that landed flush as Redkach was already off balance and sent him to the canvas.
Redkach was able to survive the round, but Molina connected again in round four with a right hand that stunned Redkach and a clubbing left hook that put him down again. This knockdown prompted referee Eddie Hernandez to wave off the bout 1:27 into the fourth round, giving Molina a big victory with his family watching ringside.
“You always dig deep with your family watching,” Said Molina. “You never want to lose in front of your family. I’m always going to fight until the very end. I had a tough opponent in front of me but I did what I had to to get the victory.”
The opening bout of the telecast saw Wale Omotoso (27-3, 21 Kos) score a unanimous decision victory over Freddy Hernandez (34-9, 22 Kos) welter pisuko 10 txandako lehiaketan.
Hernandez had success early in the fight, hitting Omotoso with counter left hands consistently and using his range effectively. As the fight wore on Omotoso increased his pressure and broke through in round eight with a straight right hand that stunned Hernandez.
Omotoso was unable to score a knockdown, but had success throughout the final three rounds on his way to earning the decision by scores of 96-94, 97-93 eta 100-90.

His only other loss came against former welterweight champion Timothy Bradley and he owns victories over the likes of Antonio DeMarco, Josesito Lopez, Aron Martinez and Wale Omotoso.
“Every fighter is dangerous and if I give Herrera the chance, he’ll knock my head off,” Said Vargas. “But I come into every fight with bad intentions and I’m in a position where I know exactly what it takes to get where I want to go. I have a lot of opportunities ahead of me, but first, I have to show the fans that I’m back and look exciting while doing that. Herrera is going to give me his best, but I feel that I have the speed, the experience and the game plan to overcome anything he brings to the table.”
Herrera (33-7-1, 22 Kos) has already fought four times in 2017 including his most recent outing, a stoppage of Israel Toala in July.

“I’m going against a really good fighter, but he doesn’t punch very hard,” Herrera Said. “I will go bombs away from the first round. He can’t hurt me. I’m confident I will win this fight. Niri aukera handi bat da. I’ve got to start faster than I did against Brandon Rios and I can’t take anything for granted. The fans will get a great fight and definitely be winners on fight night.”

James has fought on FS1 and FOX Deportes his last four times in the ring and has recorded three wins in that stretch. Chaves represents a major challenge for James in his attempt to climb the welterweight ladder as he looks to add another name to his list of victories that includes Wale Omotoso, Javier Molina and Juan Carlo Abreu.
REDK (20-3-1, 16 Kos) and Molina (29-7, 23 Kos) are both coming off losses and will look to go through each other to regain top contender status. The 31-year-old Redkach, who was born in Ukraine and now lives in Los Angeles, is coming off a split decision loss in a FS1 and FOX Deportes main event to Argenis Mendez in his last fight on Maiatza 2. Molina, 34, had one of the best performance of his career in June 2016 when he defeated Ruslan Provodnikov by unanimous decision.

LONG ISLAND, NY (Uztailaren 16, 2017) – Once-beaten Jamal James (21-1, 9 Kos) scored a unanimous decision victory over former title challenger Jo Jo Dan (36-5, 19 Kos) inPremier Boxing Champions on FS1 eta FOX Sports EkintzaLarunbata night from thenewly-renovated NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Iraunkorra 6'2″, James was intent on using his length to move around Dan and deliver jabs and power punches off of it it. He had success snapping the head back of Dan throughout the early rounds and built up a lead on the scorecards.
“My range was working perfectly,” esan zuen Jamesek. “I knew he was going to be tough and he was a little tougher than I thought.”
Dan got himself back into the fight after focusing on the body throughout the early rounds and was able to break through James’ guard to land effectively. The southpaw temporarily rocked James late in the sixth round and was able to pick up some momentum for the following rounds.
“I was catching him with nice clean shots, but he kept coming,” esan zuen Jamesek. “I knew he was going to keep coming forward. He started moving his head and made me miss a couple times. I was trying to avoid a big shot but he did get me with some body shots.”
Hala ere, James was able to stick to his game plan and had success over the final couple of rounds while fighting Dan in the trenches. Ondoren 10 rounds of welterweight action, the judges scored the bout 99-91-, 98-92 eta 97-93 all for James.
Fighting on the undercard of his older brother Omar, Brandon Figueroa (13-0, 8 Kos) used high volume punching to dominate Fatiou Fassinou (28-7-3, 15 Kos) on his way to a unanimous decision victory in their junior featherweight contest.
“I knew that he was a flashy fighter that was going to have a lot of speed and movement,” Said Figueroa. “I tried to attack the body. He was a really tough opponent. He took all my best body shots.”
Figueroa had no problem trying to stand and trade with Fassinou as his superior speed and length allowed him to consistently land first. Fassinou’s awkward style included switching stances almost nonstop throughout the bout, and made it tough for Figueroa to sit down and deliver knockout blows.
“This was my first fight back in a while and I was happy to get the rust off,” esan zuen Jamesek. “Now I’m going to get back to work. I want to get at least one or two more fights this year and then really explode next year and set myself up to be a top contender.”
As the fight went on, Fassinou slowed down enough to where Figueroa was able to trap him in the corner and deliver powerful blows throughout the last two rounds. Fassinou ended the night on his feet but all three judges gave the bout to Figueroa by scores of 79-73 eta 78-74 bitan.
“I wanted to break him down,” Said Figueroa. “He took my punches well. I think he won a round or two. I needed to catch my breath and I was hoping to stop him late. Batera zein bestera, I got the win and I’m happy.”

“We knew that it was going to be tough to accomplish but I had obviously trained to get the knockout,” said Figueroa.” With my hands finally being healthy, we knew that it was actually possible.
After winning the first round on all three judges’ scorecards, Guerrero continued to fight Figueroa from the inside and attempted to punish him with power shots. Hala ere, it was Figueroa who landed the first decisive blow of the fight, a scorching left uppercut that sent Guerrero immediately to the floor.
“I haven’t fought this way in a long time because I didn’t have the power in my hands,” Said Figueroa. “I’ll always find a way to come out on top though.”
Figueroa continued to attack, putting Guerrero down for a second time with a body shot and once more with a glancing shot right before the end of the round. Guerrero looked to blitz Figueroa to start the third round and immediately had Figueroa cornered.
“After the first knockdown I knew that the instinct would kick-in for him and he’d go all out,” Said Figueroa. “I thought it was going to be over after the first knockdown of the second round but the ref let it keep going.
“I’ve been working since January so I’m going to take some time off,” continued Figueroa. “Then I’m going to get back into camp to get back to 140-pounds. I want to be back in the ring by the end of the year.”
The unbeaten fighter was able to turn the tide quickly however, putting Guerrero down twice more with strong flurries before referee Ron Lipton waved off the bout 1:34 errondara. Bout ostean, Guerrero was taken to Nassau University Medical Center for precautionary reasons.
Unbeaten 2012 U.S. Olympian Marcus Browne (20-0, 15 Kos) continued to solidify his status as a world title contender with an electrifying stoppage of previously undefeatedSeánie Monaghan (28-1, 17 Kos) in the second-round of their light heavyweight battle.
Despite fighting in front of a friendly crowd in his native Long Island, Monaghan struggled from the start as a blistering left hand from Browne sent him to the canvas early in the first round. Monaghan was quickly in survival mode and was aided when referee Steve Willis halted the bout after deeming that Browne had connected with an accidental low blow while looking to finish his opponent.
“”I could tell that I hurt him, but I didn’t want to rush and walk into anything,” Said Browne. “I just took my time and allowed everything to fall into place.”
“It was an honor for me to represent Long Island,” said Monaghan. “I knew that it was a big task tonight. Marcus is even faster than in sparring. I’ll be alright though, I’m happy that if I had to lose, it was to a guy the quality of Marcus Browne.”
Monaghan was able to recover and eventually make it through the round, but Browne put his foot on the gas pedal to begin round two. Browne was able to trap Monaghan against the ropes and delivered a crushing series of body blows and chopping shots that caused Monaghan to hunch over. The onslaught eventually forced the referee to call a halt to the bout 40 errondara segundo.
“I’m honored and blessed to be a part of this event and I just want to move upwards and onward from here,” Said Browne. “I want a date with Adonis Stevenson next. It’s amazing to have this kind of exposure on FOX and FOX Deportes. I loved the opportunity to make new fans tonight.”
“Marcus has always been a fast starter,” said Monaghan. “He always comes out very fast. I thought I was ready for the speed, but he is very skilled. I think he’s going to go a long way.”
In front of a large contingent of his hometown fans, Adam Kownacki (16-0, 13 Kos) put on an impressive performance against his best opposition to date by scoring a fourth-round TKO of former title challenger Arthur Pin (20-3, 15 Kos) in their heavyweight showdown.
“I always knew that I had him,” esan Kownacki. “From the first shot I hit him in the body, I knew he didn’t have enough. My pressure was too much.”
The fight began with both men looking to impose their styles as Szpilka attempted to establish his jab and evade his opponent, while Kownacki tried to trap Szpilka in a corner where he could tee-off with power punches.
Despite his left eye swelling up after two rounds, Kownacki was able to take the first bit of momentum by connecting late in round three with a series of power shots that appeared to at least shake Szpilka up.
As the fourth round began Kownacki wasted no time, landing a big punch that caused blood to start pouring out of the nose of Szpilka. While the former title challenger tried to keep his distance, the heavier Kownacki was able to land a series of power punches that put Szpilka on the canvas.
“I have a great trainer and a great team that has gotten me into great shape,” esan Kownacki. “I have to give them all of the credit. Whatever he was doing, I was ready for.”
While Szpilka was able to get to his feet, Kownacki continued to keep the pressure on as another series of power punches, led by a strong right hand, sent Szpilka into a heap and forced referee Artur Mercante to stop the bout 1:37 errondara. Kownacki landed 42 percent of his power punches in the decisive fourth round.
“It took Deontay Wilder and Bryant Jennings a lot longer to get him out of there,” esan Kownacki. “But I still have things that I’m going to go back and fix. Once I improve those aspects of my game I think that a lot of people are going to know me.”
“He hit me once with a good shot and after that I just never recovered,” said Szpilka. “I think it was a left hook. I’m going to rest now. This was not how I wanted this to go and I’m very disappointed.”
