Mashantucket, CT (Junho 4, 2017) – The amazing comeback of Matt “Sharp Shooter” Remillard continued last night as the popular Connecticut lightweight stopped Fatiou Fassinou no Broadway Boxe headliner held in Fox Theater, no Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, CT.
O Broadway Boxe series is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and presented by Nissan of Queens, Azad observa, 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, em Worcester, MA.
Na rodada de abertura, Remillard (25-1, 14 KOs) and the slick Benin-native, former WBC International Silver champion Fassinou (27-6-3, 14 KOs) 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. Senti-me bem; Eu sou 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, em 135 ou 140 libras, 100-por 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
Na co-metragem, two New York City-based heavyweights, 6’5″ Russo Ruslan Shamalov (4-1, 3 KOs) and Dominican “Gentleman” George Arias (7-0, 3 KOs), fighting out of Brooklyn and the Bronx, respectivamente, 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, de alguma forma, the fourth was even better with back-and-forth, ação ininterrupta. 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 “Luta do Ano” 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. “Eu tinha um plano de jogo, 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 “Maravilhoso” Mykquan Williams (7-0, 4 KOs) gave himself an early high school graduation present as the East Hartford fighter defeated Nicaraguan welterweight Ariel “La Guerra” Vasquez (13-18-2, 9 KOs) 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, que é 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 Junho 20 from Prince Tech. “That was a good graduation present,” Williams disse. “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 KOs) derrotado Marquita Lee (3-5) by way of a hard-fought six-round unanimous decision. Salinas, lutando fora da Providência, foi o agressor durante todo, but Lee never took a backward step. Scorecards 59-55 duas vezes, 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 KOs) won his fifth pro fight, todas por nocaute. A 2016 New England Ouro campeão Luvas, Todd gained invaluable experience against cagey super welterweight Nicolas Sarouna (12-9-1, 9 KOs), 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 marca.
Radzhab Butaev left Abraham Alvarez on the mat in serious pain
Unbeaten Russian middleweight prospect Radzhab “The Python” Butaev (6-0, 4 KOs) was too much for Mexican Abraham “A Swift” Alvarez (20-11-1, 11 KOs). 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 de uma rodada.
Cuban cruiserweight Luis “El Leon” Garcia (15-0, 12 KOs) kept his perfect pro record intact with a first-round knockout of his outclassed Mexican opponent Felipe Romero (19-14-1, 13 KOs), lutando fora de San Diego. Now living in Peekskill, Nova Iorque, 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 marca.
Three-time Puerto Rican National Boxing team member Jose Roman (4-0, 3 KOs) went the distance for the first time against a game William Hill (2-3), de 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 duas vezes, e 39-37, all for Roman via unanimous decision.

DiBella Entertainment’s unbeaten featherweight contender Luis Rosa also fought no sábado, headlining a card at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in his hometown of New Haven, CT, facing Carlos Osorio, de Manágua, Nicarágua. Rosa pressured his adversary throughout the contest, wearing him down with a steady attack to the body. Osorio was game and had a stiff jab, though the hometown favorite’s combinations on the inside helped to diminish the Nicaraguan’s punch output. Believing that Osorio had taken a great deal of punishment, the referee halted the contest at the 1:25 marca de seis redondos, awarding Rosa the TKO victory. Com a vitória, Rosa improved to 23-0 (11 KOs), while Osorio’s record dropped to 13-7 (5 KOs).

Kevin Dever Gestão do Desporto assina Invicto cubano-pesado Luis Garcia

Deixe um comentário
(L-R – Kevin Dever, Luis Garcia e Patrick Brown)
Peekskill, N.I.. (Dezembro 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Gestão do Desporto anunciou a assinatura de invicto dos meio-pesados ​​perspectiva cubana Luis “O Leão” Garcia para um contrato exclusivo de gestão.
Quase oito anos atrás,Garcia (12-0, 9 KOs) desertou de Cuba para o México com o colega boxer Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 KOs), que se estabeleceu em Cork, Irlanda, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, Nova Iorque.
“Foi uma mudança maior quando me mudei para a Irlanda do que há seis semanas atrás, quando me mudei para cá,” 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 não lutou em quase quatro anos devido a questões gerenciais anteriores, mas seu retorno é agendado neste sábado noite, Dezembro 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 em dezembro 30, 2011 em Cabazon, Califórnia.
“Não foi minha decisão de não lutar nos últimos quatro anos,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, brigaram muito, 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 anos. 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.
“América me oferece uma boa oportunidade, melhor do que a Inglaterra ou 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.”
Duas lutas de Garcia Antes de sua última contra Johnson foram impressionantes 2010 nocautes técnicos do ex-campeão mundial Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) e Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), respectivamente, nas segunda e sexta rodadas.
“Deixei de boxe com um gosto ruim na minha boca, mas eu estava olhando para voltar para o boxe,” dito Kevin Dever, que co-gerencia Garcia com 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. Eu acho honestamente que, uma vez que ele tem algumas boas lutas em seu currículo, ele vai ser um contendor superior na divisão dos meio-pesados. Luis Garcia é o melhor lutador que eu já trabalhei.”
Garcia, um medalhista de ouro do Campeonato Mundial Júnior, desertou porque ele estava desiludido após ter sido negado um lugar no 2008 Cuban Equipe Olímpica, apesar de ele derrotar eventual medalhista de prata olímpico Emelio Correa, Jr. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Campeão olímpico Emelio Correa, Sr., que ainda estava envolvido no boxe amador cubano quando seu filho foi selecionado sobre Garcia para representar Cuba na 2008 Jogos Olímpicos. Correa lost in the championship final to James Degale, o britânico que atualmente é a Federação Internacional de Boxe (IBF) campeão dos super-médios.
Não é um boxeador cubano típico defesa-primeiro, Garcia é conhecido como um perfurador nítido que muitos insiders acreditava tinha mais cabeça do que qualquer pugilistas cubanos que desertaram já, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux e Yuriorkis Gamboum, que ambos se tornaram campeões mundiais em tempo múltiplo como profissionais.
Garcia está trabalhando fora do Be First Boxe em Peekskill e Westchester Boxing Club em White Plains (Nova Iorque), onde ele é treinado por Entalhe “Knuckles” Delury e seu assistente, o ex-desafiante ao título mundial Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 KOs). A former No. 1 classificado contendor welterweight no mundo, Barnes’ apenas três derrotas como profissional foram campeões do mundo Felix “Tito” Trinidad, Saul Mamby e Luis Ramon “Yuri Boy” Escola.
“Ele é um grande garoto, muito inteligente e respeitosa,” Delury comentou. “Há um pouco de ferrugem de estar fora de quatro anos, mas Luis vive um bom, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. Ele é 28, educado, 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.”
