Road to Heavyweight championship continues this Friday for Travis Kauffman

Остави коментар
READING, Па (Септември 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 овој петок 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, Пен.
картичката, 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. Во телевизиското ко-функција, undefeated lightweights Robert Easter Jr. and Richard Commey vie for the vacant IBF Lightweight title.
Кауфман (30-1, 22 КО е), 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,” рече Кауфман.
“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 со 21 knockouts and Kauffman is not taken him lightly.
“Gormley is a big guy and a big puncher. Any guy who is over 200 фунти, 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 16 јули 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 6’5″ and 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, Wilder, Џошуа, бес, they are all very tall men. If I can’t get one of them next, I want someone in the top-ten. Сакам да се борат на најдобар. Everyone is avoiding Luis Ortiz, I would love to fight him. Anthony Joshua, Артур Пин. 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.”
Кауфман, 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. Петок навечер, 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.”
Билети за настан во живо, кој е промовиран од страна Промоции Кинг, со почеток во $20 and are on sale now via Ticketmaster.

HEAVYWEIGHT UPSET BREWING IN DETROIT?

Gormley Confident that Undefeated Ruiz Will Taste Defeat at ‘Detroit Brawl’ на Сабота, Јули 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 “Демпси” Gormley says he much prefers the lowered expectations of being considered the “противник” 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 КО) will face WBO #5-, ИБФ #5-, and WBC #7-rated and current NABF heavyweight champion Andy “The Destroyer from Mexicali” Руиз (27-0, 18 КО) in a non-title fight оваа сабота во Детроит. 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, Влезниците за “Detroit Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, Ringside $93, Reserved $63 и $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.
“Тој е совршен за мене,” 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, се сврте про 1992 and flirted with world-contender status before suffering a pair of tough losses and retiring in 1999. Меѓутоа, бокс, like any addiction, eventually lured him back.
“I just want to take opportunities and see what I can do,” рече тој. “Победи или изгуби, 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. Сега, 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 КО) of Brooklyn via Georgia facing comebacking veteran Eric Hall (8-9-1, 4 КО) of Durand, Michigan in a super lightweight six-rounder.
Исто така,, Сердар Hudayberdiyev (2-0, 2 КО) of Turkmenabat, Turkmenistan, will face fellow undefeated fighter Steven Andrade (3-0, 2 КО) на Атланта, Georgia in a welterweight four-rounder.
The opponent for the long-awaited pro debut of Dearborn, Мичиген “Southpaw Prince” Gheith Karim, a three-time national amateur champion, will be two-fight welterweight scrapper Dean Walsh Jr. of Monroe, Мичиген.
Detroit prospect Demetrius Banks (7-0, 4 КО) 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 КО), a recent Salita Promotions signee, will take on Sergio Aguilar (0-3) of Miami Beach, Флорида, in a four-round bout; super bantamweight Zach Shamoun (3-0-1, 3 КО) of Royal Oak, Мичиген, will face also-unbeaten Jose Elizondo (1-0) Сан Антонио, Тексас; and so-far perfect undefeated cruiserweight Clarence Dubose (3-0, 3 КО) of Detroit will look to keep his KO streak intact against Karinn Davis (2-6, 2 КО) на Џексон, Мичиген.
