Mashantucket, CT (Hunyo 4, 2017) – The amazing comeback of Matt “Sharp Shooter” Remillard continued last night as the popular Connecticut lightweight stopped Fatiou Fassinou sa Broadway Boxing headliner held in Fox Theater, at Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, CT.
Ang 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, in Worcester, MA.
Sa opening round, 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. Nadama ko mabuti; Ako ay 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, sa 135 o 140 pounds, 100-porsiyento. He owes me a rematch. The guy he beat wasn’t me.”
Ruslan Shamalov (L) & George Arias turned in the Fight of the Night
Sa co-tampok, two New York City-based heavyweights, 6’5″ Ruso Ruslan Shamalov (4-1, 3 Kos) and Dominican “Gentleman” George Arias (7-0, 3 Kos), fighting out of Brooklyn and the Bronx, buong galang, 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 “Away ng mga Taon” kandidato. Arias, the leader of Team Wash Em’ Up in the Bronx, won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54, 59-55, at 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 “Kahanga-hangang” 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, sino ang 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 Hunyo 20 from Prince Tech. “That was a good graduation present,” Sinabi Williams. “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) bagsak Marquita Lee (3-5) by way of a hard-fought six-round unanimous decision. Salinas, aaway out sa Providence, was the aggressor throughout, but Lee never took a backward step. Scorecards 59-55 dalawang beses, at 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, lahat sa pamamagitan ng knockout. Ang isang 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion, 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 markahan.
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 “The 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 ng ikot ng isa.
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), fighting out of 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 markahan.
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), ng 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.

Mag-iwan ng komento
(L-R – Kevin Duty, Luis Garcia at Patrick Brown)
PEEKSKILL, N.Y.. (Disyembre 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Sports Management ay inihayag ang pag-sign ng undefeated Cuban ilaw matimbang pag-asam Luis “Ang leon” Garcia sa isang eksklusibong kontrata ng pangangasiwa.
Halos walong taon na ang nakaraan,Garcia (12-0, 9 Kos) tumiwalag mula sa Cuba sa Mexico sa mga kapwa boxer Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 Kos), na husay sa Cork, Ireland, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, New York.
“Ito ay isang mas malaking pagbabago kapag lumipat ako sa Ireland kaysa ito ay anim na linggo nakaraan kapag ako ay inilipat dito,” 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 nang hindi nakipaglaban sa halos apat na taon dahil sa nakaraang pangangasiwa ng mga isyu, ngunit ang kanyang mga naka-iskedyul na bumalik ay ito Sabado gabi, Disyembre 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 sa Disyembre 30, 2011 sa Cabazon, California.
“Ito ay hindi ang aking mga desisyon hindi upang labanan ang nakaraang apat na taon,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, sparred isang pulutong, 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 taon. 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.
“Nag-aalok akin America isang magandang pagkakataon, mas mahusay kaysa sa England o Ireland, and I’m going to finish my boxing career here. I’m fighting December 5ika 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.”
Dalawang laban Garcia bago ang kanyang huling laban Johnson ay kahanga-hanga 2010 teknikal knockouts ng dating mundo kampeon Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) at Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), buong galang, sa pangalawa at ika-anim na round.
“Iniwan ko boxing na may isang masamang lasa sa aking bibig ngunit ako ay naghahanap upang makakuha ng back sa boxing,” nabanggit Kevin Duty, na co-namamahala Garcia sa 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. Sa totoo lang sa tingin ko na, sandaling siya ay may ilang mga mahusay na fights ilalim ng kanyang sinturon, makikita siya ay isang nangungunang kalaban sa liwanag matimbang dibisyon. Luis Garcia ay ang pinakamahusay na manlalaban kailanman ko na nagtrabaho sa.”
Garcia, isang World Junior Championship gold dalubhasa sa mga medalya, tumiwalag dahil siya ay disillusioned matapos na tinanggihan ang isang lugar sa 2008 Cuban Olympic Team, sa kabila ng kanya talunin wakas Olympic silver medalist Emelio Correa, JR. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Olympic kampeon Emelio Correa, Sr., sino ay kasangkot pa rin sa Cuban amateur boxing kapag ang kanyang mga anak na lalaki ay napili sa paglipas Garcia upang kumatawan Cuba sa 2008 Olympics. Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, ang Brit na sa kasalukuyan ay ang International Boxing Federation (IBF) super middleweight titlist.
Hindi isang tipikal na pagtatanggol-unang Cuban boxer, Garcia ay kilala bilang isang malutong puncher na pinaniniwalaan ng maraming insiders ay mayroong higit nakabaligtad kaysa sa anumang Cuban boxers na na tumiwalag, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux at Yuriorkis Gamboisang, na parehong may maging multiple-time Champions mundo bilang mga propesyonal.
Garcia ay nagtatrabaho sa labas ng Maging First Boxing sa Peekskill at Westchester Boxing Club sa White Plains (NY), kung saan siya ay nagsanay sa pamamagitan ng Bumingaw “Liyabe” Delury at ang kanyang mga katulong, nagdududa title dating mundo Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 Kos). A former No. 1 raranggo welterweight kalaban sa mundo, Barnes’ pagkalugi tatlong lamang bilang isang pro ay upang mundo Champions Felix “Tito” Trinidad, Saul Mamby at Luis Ramon “Yuri Boy” Kampus.
“Siya ay isang mahusay na bata, napaka-matalino at magalang,” Nagkomento Delury. “May ilang mga kalawang mula sa pagiging off sa apat na taon, ngunit Luis ang saklaw ng isang magandang, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. Siya ay 28, dilat, 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.”
