(L-R) – Sharad Collier, promoter/trainer Tony Blanco & Richard Rivera

Χάρτφορντ, Conn. (Μάιος 3, 2018) -Hartford Boxing Promotions has announced its inaugural event, “Fight Night at the Capital”, to take place Saturday night, Ιούνιος 16, at Xfinity Centre in Hartford, Κονέκτικατ.

 

 

Boxing trainer Tony Blanco and his Hartford Boxing Center gym partner, Michael Tran, have teamed with their undefeated light heavyweight prospect, Richard “Popeye ο ναυτικός Man” Ριβέρα (7-0, 6 KOs), to form Hartford Boxing Promotions.

 

 

“I’m excited about the entire card and providing a platform for some of the best amateurs in recent Connecticut boxing history to fight,” Blanco said. “‘Popeye’ is in the main event. He’s sparred against world champions and each experience has given him more confidence. He’s on his way to greatness. We’re also showcasing (‘The Special One’) Sharad Collier in his pro debut. This kid is something special. Richard is exactly what Hartford needs, somebody youngster can look up to as a role model. ‘Popeye’ is exciting to watch and very popular. Sharad is going to be like that, πάρα πολύ.

 

 

“I’m thrilled to partner with Richard and Michael to bring boxing back to Hartford, which is a hotbed for boxing, and it has a rich boxing history. There’s a lot of talent here right now and fans will see that June 16ου.”

 

 

Boxing’s roots in the Hartford market dates back nearly a full century, headlined by International Hall of Famers Willie “Will o’ the Wisp” Pep και Christopher “Battling” Battalino. Other top-area boxers include world champion Μάρλον “Μαγικό άτομο” Starling, αμφισβητίες παγκόσμιου τίτλου Gaspar “El Indio” Ortega και Ισραήλ “μάλλον” Cardona, και 1996 USA Olympic Boxing Team captain Lawrence Πηλός-μπέη.

 

 

The hardest hitter in New England, rising star Rivera will defend his Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) New England light heavyweight title in the eight-round main event versus an opponent to be determined.

 

 

 

“I’m blessed to help bring boxing back to Hartford,” Rivera commented. “I’m honored to headline our first show, Fans will see good boxing and be entertained. I’m going to put on a good performance on an exciting night. Δεν μπορώ να περιμένω!”

 

 

The 21-yer-old Collard, fighting out of Hartford like Rivera, will be competing in the National Golden Gloves Championships, starting May 14th in Omaha, Νεμπράσκα, before returning home to turn pro in a four-round Special Junior Welterweight Attraction versus Carlos Galindo (0-2), του Woburn, Μασαχουσέτη.

 

 

“Tony is like my second father and I’m grateful to him for allowing me to make my pro debut in my hometown,” Collier remarked. “I’m bringing a big fan-base and I’m going to put on a show. I’m familiar with a lot of fighters on this card. ‘Popeye’ is like my big brother. We train and have traveled together as amateurs. We motivate each other. I’m going to try and get a faster knockout than him June 16ου.”

 

 

Undefeated Danbury, CT lightweight Omar “Το Θηρίο” Bordoy, Jr. (5-0, 1 KO) in his first scheduled six-rounder vs. Αλέξανδρος “El Bravo” Ακροθηλεία δαντέλλας (2-5-1), fighting out of Hartford by way of Puerto Rico.

Iceman John Scully’s 6th Official Amateur Boxing Reunion

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

Σάββατο, Μάρτιος 18, 2017
12:00 Μεσημέρι (until around 3 μμ)
@ Monique’s Lounge (γνωστός και ως 108 Lounge)
181 East 108th Street
East Harlem, New York
10029
I am proud to officially announce my 6th Official Amateur Boxing Reunion that will take place on March 18 at Monique’s Lounge in Harlem, New York. I am expecting by far the largest turn out of any of the previous 5 reunions which were held twice at Rival Boxing in Las Vegas, once at Jimmy’s Corner in Manhattan and once each at Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Casinos.
Of the over 100 boxers attending this far, among them I expect the likes of 1988 Ασημένια Ολυμπιονίκης Riddick Big Daddy Bowe, NYC Golden Gloves Champ “Poison” Τζούνιορ Jones, 1984 Olympic champ Mark Breland, 1974 National Junior Olympic champ Marlon Starling, 1996 USA Olympic team captain Lawrence Πηλός-μπέη και 1988 Εθνικός Πρωταθλητής Χρυσών Γαντιών Σημάδι “Πάρα Sharp” Τζόνσον.
At my past reunions, including the most recent one held at the Rival Boxing Store in Las Vegas on Νοέμβριος 18, we’ve had the likes of Roy Jones Jr., Alex “Ο βομβιστής Μπρονξ” Ράμος, 1992 Olympian Montell Griffin, former three time world champions Mike McCallum and Iran Barkley, και “Ο πολεμιστής” and Irish Micky Ward in attendance.
Among the most special of moments at my reunions, we had Mike McCallum and Alex Ramos, who met each other in the semi-finals of the 1980 NYC Golden Gloves, reconnect in Las Vegas in late 2014, we had Luis Ortiz and Lawrence Clay-Bey, who were brought together in 2015 at Foxwoods after not only not seeing each other in 38 YEARS but after not even knowing they fought against each other in 1977 until just a few days before they reunited and in NYC over the summer of 2015 we had 1984 New York City Golden Gloves 156 pound champion and runner up Dennis “The Magician” Milton and Jesse Lanton connect once again.
Any media who wish to attend the event in Harlem, New York on March 18 are more than welcome to be a part of the festivities.

PBC στο ESPN & ESPN Deportes Doubleheader
Πέμπτη, Ιούλιος 21
From Foxwoods Resort Casino – 8 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/5 μ.μ. PT
Mashantucket, CT (Ιούλιος 19, 2016) — Connecticut may not have equal status with New York City or Las Vegas in terms of being a fight capital, but the Nutmeg State has produced five Hall-of-Famers with Foxwoods Resort Casino, located in Mashantucket, CT, hosting many of the sport’s greatest fighters and fights over the past two decades.
The tradition continues on Πέμπτη, Ιούλιος 21, as rising middleweight contender Sergiy “The Technician” Derevyanchenko (8-0, 6 KOs) faces former world champion Είμαι “Βασιλιάς” Soliman (44-13, 18 KOs) στο 10-στρογγυλό κύριο γεγονός της Premier Πυγμαχία Τσάμπιονς επί ESPN & ESPN.
Τηλεοπτική κάλυψη ξεκινά από 8 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/5 μ.μ. PT, and features a 10-round middleweight clash between powerful Ievgen Khytrov (13-0, 11 KOs) and California’s Paul Mendez (19-2-2, 9 KOs).
Connecticut’s all-time greatest boxer is the late Willie “Will ‘o the Wisp” Pep (229-11-1, 65 KOs), who was born in Middletown and lived in Rocky Hill. Pep, who fought professionally between 1940 και 1966, was a two-time world featherweight champion who had an epic rivalry with Sandy Saddler.
Other Hall-of-Famers from Connecticut are world heavyweight champion (1926-28)Gene “The Fighting Marine” Tunney (65-1-1, 48 KOs), of Greenwich, who defeated the legendary Jack Dempsey δυο φορές; Ukrainian-born world featherweight (1925) titlist Louis “Παιδί” Kaplan (108-22-12, 72 KOs), from Meriden; world light heavyweight champion (1933) “Slapsie” Maxie Rosenbloom (222-42-31, 2 NC, 19 KOs), of Leonard Bridge; world light heavyweight titleholder (1926-27) Γρύλος “Bright Eyes” Delaney (73-11-2, 43 KOs), who was born in Canada but lived in Bridgeport.
Over the year, many other Connecticut fighters have made an impact on the sport including Hartford’s NBA featherweight champion Battling Battalino (57-26-3, 26 KOs), who was the first world champion to lose his title on the scale, Hartford’s two-time world welterweight titlist Μάρλον “Μαγικό άτομο” Starling (45-6-12, 27 KOs), Norwalk’s WBA junior middleweight champion “Tremendous” Travis Simms (28-1, 21 KOs), New Haven’s three-time world light heavyweight champion “Κακή” Τσαντ Dawson (33-4, 18 KOs) and world welterweight contender Gaspar “El Indio” Ortega (131-29-6, 69 KOs), Stamford’s world No. 1-κατατάσσεται μεσαίο βάρος Chico Vejar (92-20-4, 43 KOs), and Bloomfield’s 1996 Olympic Team USA captain Lawrence Πηλός-μπέη (21-3-1, 16 KOs).
The No. 1 Foxwoods fight of all-time, held on April 16, 2011, was also promoted by DiBella Entertainment, and was selected as the 2011 Ring Magazine and BWAA Fight of the Year. Defending champion Άλλα Berto (27-0) και αμφισβητίας Victor Ortiz (28-2-2) battled for 12 γύρους, each getting dropped twice, with Ortiz winning a hard-fought decision (114-111, 114-112, 115-110) for the WBC welterweight title.
A close second place is the 2003 BWAA Fight of the Year, in which future Hall-of-FamerJames Toney (65-4-2) won a 12-round decision over reigning IBF cruiserweight champion Vassiliy Jirov. The action started days earlier at the pre-fight press conference when a skirmish erupted as tables were overturned and glasses thrown. The animosity continued between the two fighters and their respective camps right up to the final bell. Previously undefeated, Jirov (31-0) started fast but faded, getting decked in the final round.
Σε 2004, New England favorite Scott “The Sandman” Pemberton, hailing from nearby New Bedford, ΜΑ, was involved in a great 12ου γύρος, come-from-behind knockout of always-tough Omar Sheika in a rematch of a previous draw, for a regional super middleweight title.
Two other N.E. fan favorites who fought regularly at Foxwoods were multiple-time world champion Vinny Paz (Pazienza during his boxing career), πολεμώντας από το Cranston, RI, and New Bedford’s all-action “Sucra” Ray Oliveira. Paz had a 13-3 record at Foxwoods, highlighted by his 1998 decision over Glenwood Brown and his 50ουcareer win in his retirement fight against Tocker Pudwill σε 2004. Oliveira was only 6-7-1 fighting at Foxwoods, but he faced nothing but iron and he did defeat a world champion, Vince Phillips, στο έδαφός τους 2000 non-title fight that produced the second-most total punches (2,989) recorded at that time.
Brazilian boxing fans always turned out in force when countryman Acelino “Βαρέλι” Freitas fought at Foxwoods, primarily because of the large Brazilian community in Connecticut. Freitas fought there four times, all in lightweight world title fights, νικώνταςZahir Raheem και Artur Grigorian και να χάσει Juan Diaz και Diego Corrales.
Other great fights at Foxwoods include future world middleweight champion Andy Leecoming back from the brink of possibly getting knocked out to stop Craig McEwan στην 10ου γύρο τους 2011 πάλη, Ο Carl Froch‘s dramatic late surge in 2009 to knock outJermain Taylor (who was well ahead on the scorecards) στην 12ου round for the WBC super middleweight championship, Pernell Whitaker taking a close decision fromAndrey Pestryaev (115-113, 115-112, και 114-113) στο έδαφός τους 1997 WBA eliminator (later ruled a No Decision due to Whitaker’s failed drug test), και Ike Quarteyovercoming two knockdowns to successfully defend his WBA welterweight title versusJose Luis Lopez σε 1997 (Quartey was originally awarded a win by majority decision, but a scoring error was discovered and the fight was ruled a majority draw).
Two of the greatest boxers in modern boxing history, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. και Roy Jones, Jr., both fought at Foxwoods in 1998. Στο κείμενό του 15ου υπέρ αγώνα, Mayweather registered a third-round technical knockout of Miguel Melo, while Jones successfully defended his WBC/WBA light heavyweight titles with a 10ου-TKO γύρο του Otis Grant. In the Jones-Grant co-feature, IBF lightweight champion Shane Mosley successfully defended his title against Jesse James Leija, who was unable to answer the bell for the 10ου γύρος.
