Mashantucket, CT (Giugno 4, 2017) – The amazing comeback of Opaco “Sharp Shooter” Remillard continued last night as the popular Connecticut lightweight stopped Fatiou Fassinou nel Broadway Boxing headliner held in Fox Theater, at Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, CT.
Il Broadway Boxing series is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and presented by Nissan of Queens, Azad Watches, OPTYX, and Christos Steak House.
Remillard, 30, was the No. 2-ranked featherweight in the world in 2011, when he lost to future world champion Mikey Garcia (LRTD11). Fighting out of Manchester, CT, tonight’s fight was Remillard’s first in his home state in six-and-a-half years, due to him serving a five-year prison sentence. He returned to the ring this past April, taking an eight-round decision from Agustine Mauras, a Worcester, MA.
Nella gara di apertura, Remillard (25-1, 14 KO) and the slick Benin-native, former WBC International Silver champion Fassinou (27-6-3, 14 KO) got to know each other as both fighters were cautious. Remillard opened up in the second round, using his left to the body, dropping Fassinou in his corner during the final seconds. Remillard pressed the action in the third, peppering Fassinou around the ring in his familiar punishing style, putting Fassinou in his “Sharp Shooter” sights for target practice in the fourth. Fassinou failed to answer the bell for the fifth round.
“Against a southpaw, the left hook to the liver is there, a punch I’m known for,” Remillard commented after the fight. “He was a little sloppier than I expected. Mi sentivo bene; Sono 24/7 in the gym. Maybe I’ll have one more fight this year to get in some rounds, and then get ready for a big 2018. I want a rematch with Garcia, a 135 o 140 libbre, 100-cento. He owes me a rematch. The guy he beat wasn’t me.”
Ruslan Shamalov (L) & George Arias turned in the Fight of the Night
Nella co-feature, two New York City-based heavyweights, 6’5″ Russo Ruslan Shamalov (4-1, 3 KO) and Dominican “Gentleman” Giorgio Arias (7-0, 3 KO), fighting out of Brooklyn and the Bronx, rispettivamente, put their undefeated records on the line. Shamalov’s power punches rocked the much shorter 5’11” Arias in the first round, but Arias stayed off the ropes and boxed much better in the second. The two fighters exchanged bombs throughout a terrific third round and, somehow, the fourth was even better with back-and-forth, non-stop action. The pace subsided slightly in the fifth round, setting the stage for a bombs-away sixth and final frame that didn’t disappoint.
Shamalov and Arias fought a furious pace, especially for heavyweights, in a legitimate six-round “Fight of the Year” candidato. Arias, the leader of Team Wash Em’ Up in the Bronx, won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54, 59-55, e 58-56.
“This win was humungous for me,” said an overjoyed Arias, after his first six-round fight. “I had a game plan, but once he hurt me in the first round, my heart took over and I just fought. I like to fight for the people, so I held on in the first instead of taking a knee.”
Mykquan Williams (R) celebrated his high school graduation a little early
Crowd favorite “Meraviglioso” Mykquan Williams (7-0, 4 KO) gave himself an early high school graduation present as the East Hartford fighter defeated Nicaraguan welterweight Ariel “La Guerra” Vasquez (13-18-2, 9 KO) in the former’s first six-round bout. The 19-year-old Williams, a five-time national amateur champion, is a budding star with tremendous upside. Poised beyond his years, Williams controlled the pace against his battle-tested southpaw opponent, che è 11 years Williams’ senior, displaying his vast arsenal of punches, especially his left-right combination that landed consistently. Williams’ fast hands exploded for the first time at the end of the second round, then he picked up his assault in the third, as he cruised to a six-round shutout decision, with three tallies of 60-54.
Williams graduates on Giugno 20 from Prince Tech. “That was a good graduation present,” Williams ha detto. “My hand speed played a big factor. He was a tough guy, especially for my first six-rounder.”
Jennifer Salinas (R) had too much for Marquita Lee
featherweight champion Jennifer “The Bolivian Queen” Salinas (20-4, 5 KO) sconfitto Marquita Lee (3-5) by way of a hard-fought six-round unanimous decision. Salinas, combattimento da Providence, was the aggressor throughout, but Lee never took a backward step. Scorecard 59-55 due volte, e 58-56, all for Salinas.
Fighting a much more experienced and taller opponent from Africa, promising Lynn, MA prospect Khiry “TNT” Todd (5-0, 5 KO) won his fifth pro fight, tutti per KO. La 2016 New England Golden Gloves campione, Todd gained invaluable experience against cagey super welterweight Nicolas Sarouna (12-9-1, 9 KO), of Togo, who took a knee after getting hit by a sneaky uppercut in the third round. Sarouna failed to beat the 10-count as Todd improved his perfect record, with a TKO stoppage at the 1:32 contrassegno.
Radzhab Butaev left Abraham Alvarez on the mat in serious pain
Unbeaten Russian middleweight prospect Radzhab “The Python” Butaev (6-0, 4 KO) was too much for Mexican Abraham “The Swift” Alvarez (20-11-1, 11 KO). Butaev dropped Alvarez early with a vicious left hook, from which Alvarez never fully recovered. A brutal right to the liver put the Mexican on mat once again, in obvious pain, as referee Joey Lupino immediately waved off the fight at 1:05 del primo round.
Cuban cruiserweight Luis “El Leon” Garcia (15-0, 12 KO) kept his perfect pro record intact with a first-round knockout of his outclassed Mexican opponent Felipe Romero (19-14-1, 13 KO), combattimento da San Diego. Now living in Peekskill, NY, Garcia dropped Romero with an overhand right in the opening seconds and he never let up, consistently hurting Romero with a series of devastating rights. Garcia closed the show with a powerhouse uppercut, leading referee Johnny Callas to halt the action at the 1:48 contrassegno.
Three-time Puerto Rican National Boxing team member Jose Roman (4-0, 3 KO) went the distance for the first time against a game William Hill (2-3), di Detroit. The skilled Puerto Rican super welterweight applied pressure from the opening bell, using a fierce body attack on Hill, who was trapped on the ropes for most of the fight. The judges tallied 40-36 due volte, e 39-37, all for Roman via unanimous decision.

Believing that Osorio had taken a great deal of punishment, the referee halted the contest at the 1:25 Marchio del sesto round, awarding Rosa the TKO victory. Con la vittoria, Rosa improved to 23-0 (11 KO), while Osorio’s record dropped to 13-7 (5 KO).

Kevin Dever Sports Management firma Imbattuto dei pesi massimi leggeri cubano Luis Garcia

Lascia un commento
(L-R – Kevin Duty, Luis Garcia e Patrick Brown)
Peekskill, N.Y.. (Dicembre 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Sports Management ha annunciato la firma di prospettiva imbattuto dei pesi massimi leggeri cubano Luis “Il Leone” Garcia ad un contratto manageriale esclusivo.
Quasi otto anni fa,Garcia (12-0, 9 KO) disertato da Cuba in Messico con il collega pugile Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 KO), che si stabilì a Cork, Irlanda, ha fatto il suo debutto professionale nel 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, New York.
“E 'stato un cambiamento più grande quando mi sono trasferito in Irlanda rispetto a sei settimane fa, quando mi sono trasferito qui,” the 28-year-old Garcia explained. “It was a lot harder in Ireland because I didn’t speak a word of English. I learned English from the street, watching TV and reading. It’s not a big change for me to move around because I traveled all over the world when I was a member of the Cuban National Team.”
Garcia non ha combattuto in quasi quattro anni a causa di precedenti problemi gestionali, ma il suo ritorno è in programma questo Sabato notte, Dicembre 5, against an opponent to be determined in a six-round bout at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. His last fight was a win by eight-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated (12-0) Alexander Johnson a dicembre 30, 2011 a Cabazon, California.
“Non è stata una mia decisione di non combattere negli ultimi quattro anni,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, sparred un sacco, and did as much as I could do in the gym. I still had a contract until it expired. I’ve known Kevin for 2-3 anni. He asked me why I wasn’t fighting and I told him everything. He said to call him when my contract expired because he wanted to manage me and that’s what I did.
“America mi offre una buona opportunità, meglio che in Inghilterra o in Irlanda, and I’m going to finish my boxing career here. I’m fighting December 5th and taking things step by step. I’m not going to rush. There are a lot of great fighters in the light heavyweight division and I hope to be in the mix next year.”
Garcia due scontri precedenti alla sua ultima contro Johnson sono stati impressionanti 2010 ko tecnici della ex campione del mondo Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) e Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), rispettivamente, nel secondo e nel sesto round.
“Ho lasciato la boxe con l'amaro in bocca, ma stavo cercando di tornare in boxe,” suddetto Kevin Duty, che co-gestisce con Garcia Patrick Brown. “I knew him from Ireland and I always wanted to manage this kid. He called to tell me his contract had expired and we worked out a deal that brought him here to live in New York.
“I honestly don’t see any rust watching him spar. I know sparring isn’t fighting but everybody in the gym stops to watch him workout. Onestamente credo che, una volta che ha alcuni buoni combatte sotto la sua cintura, lui sarà un concorrente in alto nella divisione dei pesi massimi leggeri. Luis Garcia è il miglior combattente che abbia mai lavorato.”
Garcia, una medaglia d'oro Junior World Championship, disertato perché era deluso dopo essere stato negato un posto sul 2008 Cubano Squadra olimpica, nonostante sconfiggendolo eventuale medaglia d'argento olimpica Emelio Correa, Jr. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Campione olimpico Emelio Correa, Sr., che era ancora coinvolto nella cubano di pugilato dilettantistico quando suo figlio è stato selezionato più di Garcia per rappresentare Cuba nel 2008 Olimpiadi. Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, il britannico che attualmente è l'International Boxing Federation (IBF) super medi titlist.
Non è un tipico pugile cubano difesa prima, Garcia è conosciuto come un perforatore vive che molti addetti ai lavori credevano fosse più a testa di ogni pugili cubani che hanno disertato, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux e Yuriorkis Gamboun, che entrambi sono diventati più volte campioni del mondo come i professionisti.
Garcia sta lavorando fuori del Be First Boxe a Peekskill e Westchester Boxing Club a White Plains (NY), dove si è allenato da Tacca “Knuckles” Delury e il suo assistente, sfidante titolo ex mondo Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 KO). A former No. 1 classificato welter contendente nel mondo, Barnes’ solo tre perdite da professionista sono stati campioni del mondo Felix “Tito” Trinidad, Saul Mamby e Luis Ramon “Yuri Ragazzo” Città universitaria.
“Lui è un ragazzo fantastico, molto intelligente e rispettoso,” Delury commentato. “C'è un po 'di ruggine dall'essere fuori quattro anni, ma Luis vive un buon, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. E ' 28, educato, and a true gentleman. It’s been a pleasure working with him. Luis is a gifted boxer. He’s extremely exciting to watch and has a perfect blend of offense and defense.”
