Boxing Fans Help Salita Promotions Donate Over 3000 Meals to Forgotten Harvest
Promoter Dmitriy Salita proudly announces his latest installment of “Detroit Brawl,” Saturday 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, na 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 nke atọ gburugburu.
Na ndị ọzọ edinam, 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) nke 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., ke akpa gburugburu.
Okwu, 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,” Kwurula Okwu. “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.”
Based in Oak Park, Michigan, Forgotten Harvest was formed in 1990 to relieve hunger and prevent food waste throughout the metro Detroit area. Forgotten Harvest “rescued” n'elu 40 million pounds of food last year by collecting surplus prepared and perishable food from over 800 locations, including grocery stores, fruit and vegetable markets, ụlọ oriri na ọṅụṅụ, caterers, dairies, farmers, wholesale food distributors and other Health Department-approved sources.
This donated food, which would otherwise go to waste, is delivered free of-charge to 280 emergency food providers in the metro Detroit area. Forgotten Harvest has been ranked as a four-star charity by Charity Navigator for nine consecutive years.

HEAVYWEIGHT UPSET BREWING IN DETROIT?

Gormley Confident that Undefeated Ruiz Will Taste Defeat at ‘Detroit Brawl’ na Saturday, July 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 “iro” 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 a Saturday na 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, tiketi maka “Detroit Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, Ringside $93, Reserved $63 na $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.
“Ọ bụ zuru okè n'ihi na m,” 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, tụgharịa pro na 1992 and flirted with world-contender status before suffering a pair of tough losses and retiring in 1999. Otú ọ dị, ọkpọ, like any addiction, eventually lured him back.
“I just want to take opportunities and see what I can do,” o kwuru. “Mmeri ma ọ bụ hapụ, 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. Ugbu a, 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.
Ọzọkwa, Serdar Hudayberdiyev (2-0, 2 Kos) of Turkmenabat, Turkmenistan, will face fellow undefeated fighter Steven Andrade (3-0, 2 Kos) nke Atlanta, Georgia in a welterweight four-rounder.
The opponent for the long-awaited pro debut of Dearborn, Michigan nke “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) nke 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) nke 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) n'okpukpu isii.

VERONA, N.Y.. (April 15, 2016) – Undefeated bantamweight prospects Nikolay Potapov na Stephon-eto eto fought to a majority draw in theShoBox: The New Ọgbọ isi ihe omume Friday on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y..
The bout was scored 96-94 Potapov and 95-95 ugboro abụọ.
Potapov and Young were facing their toughest opponents in each other. Potapov (14-0-1, 6 Kos) controlled the pace early with his jab and was the more active fighter, throwing nearly double the punches that Young threw. Young picked up steam and gained confidence in the middle rounds and was at his best when he pressed the action and let his hands go. But the Russian Potapov, who had gone at least 10 rounds in his last six fights, was clearly more comfortable as the fight progressed.
After slowing in the seventh and eighth, Na-eto eto (14-0-3, 6 Kos) found another gear in an impressive ninth, winning the penultimate round on all the judges’ scorecards. Ma, even after urgent instructions from his corner, Young couldn’t carry the momentum into the 10nke and lost the final round on all three scorecards.
“I am very unhappy with the decision. For every time he hit me, I hit him twice,” said Potapov, onye tụbara 315 jabs compared to just 113 for Young. “I was the much busier fighter. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. At the very most I lost four rounds.
“I’ve never had a draw before. I feel cheated from a win. I was very happy to be fighting in America but I now feel cheated.”
Mgbe agha ahụ, St. Louis native Young was disappointed but knew that he needed to throw more punches.
“I feel like it was a good fight, but I should have got the decision,” Young said. “I hurt him every time I hit him. I let him be busier than me, but as far as the contact, I feel like I landed the more effective punches. That was my strategy.
“I should have come on a bit sooner. That was my plan, but I got a little relaxed in the fight. I came on in the ninth round when my coach told me to get him out of there.
“I most definitely want a rematch. I would like to do that again.”
Once-beaten Louisiana lightweight Mason Menard kụrụ aka na mbụ undefeated Eudy Bernardo with a vicious one-punch KO at2:11 nke atọ gburugburu. Na: http://s.sho.com/1NtEYjW
Facing his toughest opponent to date, Menard floored (31-1, 23 Kos) Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round. The Dominican Bernardo beat the count and finished the round, but he had no answer for Menard’s power. Less than one minute into third, Menard connected with a huge right, knocking Bernardo (21-1, 15 Kos) out before he even hit the canvas.
“I made a statement n'abalị a. Not many people knew who I was going into this, but they know me now,” said Menard, who landed nearly 50 percent nke ike ya gbaa. “My speed, power and footwork were the difference.
“I said a prayer for him in the middle of the ring that he goes back to his family healthy.”
Bernardo, who was removed from the ring on a stretcher as a precautionary measure, was taken to nearby Oneida Healthcare where he was awake and responsive.
Na oghere n'obi nke telecast, undefeated cruiserweightConstantin Bejenaru aka Alexey Zubov the first loss of his career in a convincing eight-round unanimous decision scored 77-74, 78-73 ugboro abụọ.
Save for a flash seventh round knockdown, Bejenaru (11-0, 4 Kos) controlled the fight from the outset. The Moldova native overcame a four-inch height disadvantage, attacking from different angles and controlling the exchanges on the inside and outside. Zubov (10-1, 6 Kos) never got into rhythm and failed to capitalize on his reach advantage against the active and athletic southpaw.
“He was a good classical boxer, but he’s too straight up and he couldn’t adjust,” Bejenaru said. “It wasn’t as easy as it looked to beat him. I adjusted my style to do that because I knew it would make him hesitate. I knew if I just constantly attacked him he wouldn’t know what to do.”
Zubov and Bernardo are now the 146nke na 147nke boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.
