MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Canada (Oktober 26, 2017) – Fresh off his International Boxing Association (IBA) Inter-Continental title-winning performance, undefeated Canadian lightweight sensation Josh “Dubben” O'Reilly is ready to step up in class in terms of facing world-class opponents.
The 26-year-old O’Reilly (10-0, 4 KO), who fights with the fury of his Irish heritage, sloeg zijn Mexicaanse tegenstander knock-out, Oscar “Elegante” Arjona (13-7, 5 KO) in the fifth round of their October 21st fight at Hersey Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, for the vacant IBA Inter-Continental championship.
Hall of Fame referee Steve Smoger is shown waving off the fight in favor of the celebrating O’Reilly over the fallen Arjona.
The highly entertaining O’Reilly, fighting out of Hamilton, Ontario, has a potential list of quality lightweight opponents at home in Canada, or his promoter, Tyler Buxton(United Boxing Promotions), could choose a fight outside of Canada for the first time as a pro, whether in the United States or Europe.
“Josh is a very versatile inside-outside, boxer-puncher who will give any fighter problems moving forward,” Buxton said. He is looking forward to an opportunity to position himself for an IBA World title fight.”
Super welterweight contender Brandon “Bad Boy” Kok (18-1, 11 KO) keert terug naar actie December 16, headlining the United Boxing Promotions-presented “De terugkeer” kaart, against an opponent to soon be announced at Hersey Centre.
Kok, the North American Boxing Association (Ook) kampioen, will be rebounding from his last fight, September 9 in Kazachstan, in which he (WBA #5) suffered his first loss as a pro against hometown favorite (WBA #2) Vleugel Islam (25-0) in their highly competitive and extremely entertaining fight for the WBA Inter-Continental and North American Boxing Organization (BUURMAN) super welterweight titles.
Last January, Cook registered the most notable victory of his young pro career, knocking out Canadian rival and previously unbeaten Steven Butler (18-0-1), defending his NABA title and winning the IBF North American title, at Montreal’s famed Bell Centre.

Laat een reactie achter
“Skill vs. Wil”

LIVE ON PAY-PER-VIEW–FRIDAY FEBRUARY 17TH
Wilmington, DE (Februari 16, 2017)–Below are quotes from Wednesday’s press conference in advance of Friday night’s “Skill vs. Wil” Pay-Per-View showdown between Roy, Jones, Jr. and Bobby Gunn.
Roy Jones Jr.
On Bobby Gunn as an opponent:
“The thing I stand for and respect and represent – I love a person who won’t quit, en [Bobby Gunn] won’t quit for nothing. Hij heeft 72 wint met 72 knock-outs – bare-knuckle – you’re really a professional bully! You just beat people up for the hell of it… It’s what I love. People ask why I’m so motivated to fight Bobby Gunn – it’s because what I stand for in boxing, he is in bare-knuckle. I respect that.”
On the opportunity to be in the ring on Friday:
“We are getting an opportunity to share the ring, and entertain the people while we share the ring, and I am at-heart an entertainer. And this man is a killer. I’m not saying that this man is not a killer, it’s just that I trust in my abilities to go out and do things differently because that’s who I am.”
On his conditioning:
“I am in very good shape for the first time in four or five years. I feel better than I have felt in a long time. I know I have my hands full, and I know my hands are ready for battle. I know this man is coming to bring it. But that’s what we live for; that’s what we love. Come Friday night be ready for a very entertaining fight.”
Bobby Gunn


On Roy Jones Jr. as an opponent:
I’m born and bred a fighting man, since birth. I’m fighting one of the greatest fighters who ever lived. I’ve seen a lot of horsesh!t on the Internet, people running him down. Saying he’s too old, this or that. Why don’t you guys get in the ring and fight him, vervolgens? Let me tell you something right now – I respect him more today than [the fighter he was] 20 jaren geleden. Because he’s more dangerous, he’s cagey, he’s a veteran. There’s nothing you can do to him he hasn’t seen.”
On his mental and physical condition coming into the fight:
“I’m coming here to fight my guts out. I’m in good shape. I’ve been training hard for this one for a long time – this man’s been in my head a long time. I go to sleep with Roy, and I wake up with Roy. He’s part of my family, we’re sick of talking about Roy. I can’t wait to see him Friday night and get it over with! I’m coming here to fight.”
On critics of the matchup:
“In a few days here, me and Roy are going to battle. We’re doing to prove a lot of critics wrong, a lot of doubters. When that bell rings, it’s only me and him in there. Om eerlijk te zijn, critics mean zero. Their opinions mean nothing… [Roy Jones Jr.] said he’d come and fight me, and he’s here. He has the heart of the lion. But we’re going to get it down. I’ll shake your hand today, but I’ll tell you [to Jones Jr.] we’re in for a good fight, both of us. Roy Jones won’t forget my name for the rest of his life.”

“Fighting in front of my home people means more to me than anything. It shows them that I represent their culture and they like to see my fighting style. It was a dream come true to fight in front of so many of my people. They were cheering my name, and for that I am thankful for them.”
“We will return there to Kazakhstan and fight again. I don’t want them to miss the fight on17 februari that I have with Assis. I am always thankful for my fans who always support me.

Wilmington, DE (Februari 8, 2017)–Bare Knuckle Boxing Legend Bobby Gunn is ready for his opportunity of a lifetime, when he takes on all-time great Roy Jones, Jr in a bout scheduled for 12 rounds for the WBF Cruiserweight title that will take place on Vrijdagnacht, 17 februari bij The Chase Center in Wilmington, Delaware. The bout can be seen LIVE ON PAY-PER-VIEW.
Gunn of Hackensack, New Jersey has been preparing for this fight, and is ready for the biggest fight of his career. “
I am fighting an all-time great, and styles make fights. It will be a hell of a fight,” said Gunn.
Gunn wanted to raise the stakes for the fight, but he doesn’t think that Jones has the confidence that he will come out victorious.
“I laid it out to him for a winner-take-all bout. I am a puncher, so I know I will win this fight.”
This will be Gunn’s 1st bout in 38 maanden, but the Bare-Knuckle Legend has been active fighting on the Bare-Knuckle circuit, and has a perfect record of 72-0 met 72 knockouts in die periodes.
“People can look, and think that I haven’t been active, but a fight is a fight and I have been fighting the Bare-Knuckle fights. Fighting is Fighting. The only difference in those fights is that the gloves protect the hands. Despite what it says on my boxing record, I have always been active. But the time out of the ring plus being against Roy Jones, Jr, the fans will see a different Bobby Gunn.”
Gunn, usually a mild-mannered fighter, has also been motivated by some “Trash-Talk”from Jones.
“He said that I don’t deserve to be in the same ring as him. I was already motivated for this, and he will find out otherwise on 17 februari. Na 17 februari, he will remember me for the rest of his life. I am not coming to dance. I am coming to fight, and early on, Roy will know that he has a fight on his hands.”

MEERLAND, FLORIDA (Mei 9, 2016) – Ongeslagen mededinger Vleugel Islam (21-0, 18 KO) hield Colombia tegen Jezus DeAngel (18-4-1, 17 KO) in de zesde ronde vanZondag het hoofdevenement van de avond Premier Boxing Champions: De volgende ronde opBounce TV van het Lakeland Center in Lakeland, Florida.
De opkomende 154-ponder uit Kazachstan stopte zijn negende tegenstander op rij binnen de afstand toen De Angel in ronde zes tweemaal op het canvas viel, wat scheidsrechter Telis Assimenios ertoe aanzette het gevecht te stoppen. 22 seconden in de ronde.
De Angel leek te bezwijken aan een enkelblessure toen hij een stap achteruit deed waardoor hij op het canvas viel. Islam voelde zijn moment en sprong op de gewonde vechter om snel een einde te maken aan het gevecht. De Angel werd na het gevecht naar de eerste hulp gebracht vanwege de blessure in de ring.
Een 2004 Olympisch bronzen medaillewinnaar, Islam was in staat om het bereikvoordeel van 10 cm van De Angel te omzeilen en het gevecht te beheersen met zijn atletisch vermogen en krachtige rechterhand.. Zijn eerste headliner-optreden was succesvol, aangezien hij de ladder naar een wereldtitel lijkt te blijven beklimmen.
Het co-main event van de avond zag Miguel Cruz (13-0, 11 KO) neem een ​​split-decision-overwinning mee naar huis Samuel Figueroa (10-1, 4 KO) in een heen en weer gaande strijd van acht ronden met ongeslagen weltergewichtvooruitzichten.
De vrienden die rivalen werden, zorgden vanaf het begin voor actie toen de kleinere linkshandige Figueroa het lichaam van Cruz agressief aanviel in vroege uitwisselingen.. De timing van Cruz verbeterde naarmate het gevecht vorderde en zijn combinaties begonnen te landen en de aanval op Figueroa te belemmeren.
Enkele van de beste heen-en-weer-acties vonden plaats in ronde zes, toen beide vechters hun weg door de verdediging van de tegenstander hadden gevonden. Cruz gebruikte zijn lengte om Figueroa te verslaan, maar Figueroa bleef stoten uitdelen en veel schade aanrichten tijdens de verhitte laatste strofen.
In een gevecht dat een gelijkwaardige aangelegenheid leek te zijn, de juryscores waren 77-75 voor Figueroa en 78-74 en 77-75 voor Cruz om hem de split beslissing te geven.
In de opening aanval van de uitzending, super vedergewicht Dennis Galarza (13-1, 8 KO) won zijn achtste gevecht op rij toen hij de duurzame Mexicaan versloeg Yardley Suarez (15-4, 9 KO) meer dan acht zwaarbevochten ronden.
Galarza gebruikte zijn lengtevoordeel om Suarez neer te halen met zijn prik en door te dringen in zijn verdediging met verschillende combinaties. De in Brooklyn geboren vechter die nu vanuit Orlando traint, domineerde de eerste helft van het gevecht op weg naar de unanieme beslissing.
Suarez begon de actie op te pakken in de tweede helft van het gevecht, waarbij hij verschillende harde stoten kreeg en Galarza uitdaagde om in het midden van de ring te wisselen in ronde vijf.. Hij landde misschien wel de beste combinatie van het gevecht in ronde zes met een paar stoten die Galarza voor de rest van de ronde in de terugtrekkingsmodus brachten.
Over het geheel genomen was het de output van Galarza die het grootste verschil bleek te zijn toen hij gooide 421 stoten tegen die van Suarez 305 op weg naar A 117-99 voordeel bij gelande stoten. De rechters’ scores waren 77-75 en 78-74 tweemaal voor Galarza.
Hier is wat de vechters te zeggen had Zondag nacht:
VLEUGEL ISLAM
“Het voelde goed om naar toe te gaan (zes) rondes om de overwinning te behalen. Mijn laatste paar tegenstanders hebben niet gevochten en mij uitgedaagd. Mijn team wilde me testen en alles verliep volgens plan voor wat ik in de ring wilde doen.
“Ik bokste, Ik heb mijn voeten gebruikt, Ik ging in en uit, Ik zette mijn krachtstoten op en kon hem afmaken. Ik hoop dat het goed met hem gaat, Ik weet dat het moeilijk is om met een blessure te vechten. Ik hoop dat hij snel herstelt.
“Ik zag dat hij rond ronde vier moe begon te worden en wist dat ik hem pijn had gedaan. Toen begon ik hem met hardere stoten te slaan. Ik heb het werk gedaan dat ik wilde doen, en toen wilde ik hem afmaken.
“Er waren hier veel fans uit de Kazachstaanse gemeenschap, veel fans die van verre reizen kwamen om mij te zien vechten. Dat betekende veel voor mij. Ik wilde er zeker van zijn dat ze alles konden zien wat ik in de ring kan doen. Nu wil ik dat ze mij dit jaar een wereldtitel zien winnen.
“Ik heb het gevoel dat ik terug kan komen morgen. Ik wil geen langere pauzes in mijn carrière. Ik wil grote gevechten. Wie zijn de kampioenen? Dat is tegen wie ik wil vechten.”
MIGUEL CRUZ
“Ik weet dat ik uiteindelijk het gevecht heb gewonnen, maar het was een zware strijd, een zeer zware strijd. Ik landde de schonere schoten, maar er waren momenten waarop hij druk op mij uitoefende. Hij deed me pijn met bodyshots en hij slaagde er zelfs in om me in de laatste ronde pijn te doen met een rechtse hoek. Ik herkende het toen hij mij pijn deed en ik sloeg hem en deed hem meteen terug pijn. Ik heb hem een ​​paar keer pijn gedaan.
“Ik wist dat hij een stoere kerel was vanaf het moment dat we bij de amateurs vochten en vanaf het moment dat we samen sparerden. Hij liet me iets uit mij halen waarvan ik niet eens wist dat ik het had, en daar waardeer ik hem voor.
“Dit was het zwaarste gevecht uit mijn carrière. Op dit moment, Ik wil rusten en ontspannen, maar binnen de volgende 2-3 Maanden ga ik kijken naar de jongens die mij dichter bij een wereldtitel kunnen brengen.
“Het gevecht is voorbij, we kunnen absoluut weer vrienden worden. Het is zaken. Ze vertelden ons dat we met elkaar moesten vechten. We zijn er betere vechters voor en nu is het wat mij betreft voorbij en terug naar hoe het tussen ons was.”
SAMUEL FIGUEROA
“Ik dacht niet dat Miguel het gevecht had gewonnen, maar zo zagen de juryleden dat. Ik weet niet hoe, maar daar kan ik niets aan doen. De eerste rondes sloeg ik hem duidelijk in zijn gezicht, Miguel ving me slechts op met een paar zuivere schoten, maar ik ving veel van zijn stoten op met mijn handen en ellebogen. Ik weet niet hoe ik deze strijd heb verloren.
“Ik hou ervan om tegen ongeslagen tegenstanders te strijden. Ik train met kampioenen in de sportschool, Ik heb de middelen om me klaar te maken voor deze gevechten.
“Ja, natuurlijk worden we weer vrienden. Niets persoonlijks. Hij is mijn vriend. Wij zijn cool.”
DENNIS GALARZA
“Het voelde goed om acht ronden te gaan. Ik vond het niet erg om rondjes te gaan, ook al wilde ik hem eruit halen. Hij gooide een heleboel wilde schoten, alleen maar om mij met een geluksslag te vangen. Hij ving me op met een paar goede schoten, maar hij heeft me nooit pijn gedaan. Ik train de hele tijd met linkshandigen en was klaar voor alles wat Yardley Suarez te bieden had.
“Ik wil zo snel mogelijk terugkomen. Wat mijn team ook voor mij in petto heeft, Ik zal klaar zijn.”
YARDLEY SUAREZ
“Ik had hem pijn gedaan, maar ik had het gevoel dat ik de kans aan mij voorbij liet gaan. Ik had het niet druk genoeg; Ik moet mijn handen meer loslaten. Mijn corner vertelde me dat ik een knock-out nodig had om te winnen. Ik ging ervoor, maar ik kon hem niet vertragen en genoeg stoten uitdelen.
“Ik wil op dit niveau blijven, Ik had meer kunnen doen, maar weet dat ik met de besten kan concurreren.”
