Undefeated junior middleweight prospect Anthony Velazquez won’t be boxing’s best kept secret in 2026

Julij 12, 2025 FNU47 Pustite komentar

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (Julij 10, 2025) - Sedaj, unbeaten junior middleweight Anthony “ATV” Velazquez (19-0-1, 14 Kos) may be boxing’s best kept secret, but the plan is for him to make a major jump from prospect to title challenger in 2026.

Fighting out of Springfield, Massachusetts, the 29-year-old Valezquez has flown under the radar, never fighting a world rated opponent or showcased on a marquee event. His manager, Gunther Fishgold, has set the stage for a breakout 2026 for his talented Puerto Rican-American fighter.

The plan calls for Velazquez, who is a promotional free agent, to fight three times, starting July 19^th na Mohegan Sun, plus two more times in 2025 or next January, to position him to be world rated and fight on larger stages by the first quarter of 2026.

Team Velazquez hasn’t targeted any fighter in particular, but a natural foe is fellow New Englander, Chordale “The Gift” Booker (23-2, 11 Kos), of Stamford, Connecticut. Booker recently had his first world title shot, losing his challenge to unified (WBC & WBO) Super Velterska kategorija svetovni prvakSebastian Fundora (21-1-1, 14 Kos) by way of a stoppage in round 4. One non-New Englander on Velazquez’ hit list for 2026, morda, is welterweightAlexis “Lex” Rocha (25-2-1, 16 Kos), who is currently world rated at No. 1 (WBO), Ne. 5 (IBF) in št. 9 (WBC), but only if he decides to move up to the junior middleweight division.Velazquez is at training camp preparing for his July 19^th return in an 8-round bout vs.Terry Chatwood(12-3-1) na Mohegan Sun v Uncasville, Connecticut, which is only a 1 ½ hour drive from Velazquez’ home in Springfield.

“I know Chatwood likes to box off his back foot and he’s tough,” Velazquez said, “but he has nothing I’m concerned with. I’m going to break him down and get him out of there. I’m comfortable in the ring. My defense and confidence have improved. And I enjoy fighting at Mohegan Sun because of its history in boxing and how close it is to Springfield. It’s like my second home (this will be his third fight there).»

Anthony Velazquez is ready to make moves in 2026.

Undefeated prospects James Perella &

Shea Willcox to be featured

Avgust 16 v centru za prireditve Oceanside v Revere, MA

QUINCY, Mass.

Vse dejanje bo pretakanowww.bxngtv.com live from the Oceanside Events Center (Prej Ballroom Wonderland) v Revere, Massachusetts.

Del izkupička bo podarjen fundaciji Quincy Gasilters Cancer Foundation, Neprofitna organizacija, katere poslanstvo je zagotoviti neomajno podporo gasilcem in njihovim družinam, ko se soočajo z izzivi poklicnega raka, zagotavljanje, da bodo prejeli oskrbo, viri, in pomoč, ki jo potrebujejo. Pojdi nawww.quincyFireCancerFoundation.com za informacije.

“It’s been long overdue that Granite Chin did an event on the North Shore,” promoterChris Traiettije dejal. “Oceanside Events Center is a beautiful venue, and they have been a pleasure to work with. This event will be an incredible night of fights with a new WBC Silver U.S. Champion crowned. Na vrhu, da, we will be raising money for the Quincy Firefighters Cancer Foundation, which as a member of the Quincy Fire Department, hits home for me. The foundation does amazing work and provides critical support for our fellow firefighters at a time of need.”

Perkins and Andreozzi are throwback fighters who could fight in a proverbial phone booth, providing non-stop action in an entertaining, competitive encounter for a regional title.

Gravedigger iz bližnje Lynn (MA), the 32-year-old Perkins was a solid hockey player at St. Mary’s High School in Lynn, who also had another intensive labor job working on a lobster boat. He is a strong, aggressive puncher who has successfully transitioned from the super middleweight division to light heavyweight.

Andreozzi, Swanseaja (MA), who is a former Massachusetts Middleweight Champion, has overcome a serious injury to become a title challenger. He broke his lower leg that resulted in 2 major surgeries that kept him sidelined for a full year. Andreozzi is back, hungry and ready for Perkins.

“Sometimes, kot promotor, you must get creative selling a fight, but this isn’t one of those,” Traietti added. “This fight sells itself. James and Tony are two guys who refuse to take a step backwards, for better or worse, coming forward and bringing non-stop pressure. Getting both guys to agree to fight was one of the easiest things I have done all year. They were chomping at the bit. This fight is a can’t miss regional main event.”

Dva najbolj priljubljena in obetavna perspektiva v Novi Angliji, Marshfield (MA) welterweightJames "Slim žetev" Perella (19-0, 13 Kos) and Everett (MA) junior welterweight"Showtime" Shea Willcox (3-0, 3 Kos), bo zagotovil glavno podporo.

Willcox, 23, was a member of two Everett High’s Super Bowl, Division One ekipe nogometnega prvenstva. He was also selected as the “Most Outstanding Boxer” at last year’s New England Golden Gloves Championships, as well as a 2018 Rocky Marciano Tournament Champion. He will be in a 4-round match vs.Aldimar Silva (22-28, 14 Kos), Brazilija.

Traietti concluded, “On top of a great main event, SHEA WILLCOX IS COMING HOME! Getting Shea a fight in his home area was paramount this year. We plan to make it a recurring theme. He is a terrific talent with a loyal fan base that traveled twice to Bridgewater to support him. Now he is coming to the North Shore where he belongs, and the sky’s the limit.”

Additional matchups will soon be announced.

“Granite Chin Box Off” to launch May 11th 4-fighter, 1-night super middleweight tournament “Rumble at the Rink” at Quincy Youth Arena in Quincy, MA

Marec 27, 2024 FNU47 Pustite komentar

“Granite Chin Box Off” to launch May 11^th

4-fighter, 1-night super middleweight tournament

“Rumble at the Rink” at Quincy Youth Arena in Quincy, MA

QUINCY, Mass. (Marec 26, 2024) – Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) has announced the launching of its innovative one-night tournament, “Granite Chin Box Off,” on Saturday night, Maj 11, featuring a quartet of throw-back super middleweight fighters from New England headlining the “Rumble at the Rink” pro boxing card, at Quincy Youth Arena in Quincy, Massachusetts.

The quartet of super middleweights will fight in three-round bouts (4^th round of sudden death if needed in case of a draw) early in the evening and the two winners will advance to the five-round main event (6^th round of sudden death in the event of a draw) to determine the champion of what promoter Chris Traietti plans to be an annual tournament, which has been sanctioned by the Massachusetts Boxing Commission.

All four fighters are aggressive and gutsy who come to fight, which translates into a memorable evening for fans.

“This tournament has been an idea I have been flirting with since 2021,” GCP president Chris Traietti said. “I didn’t want to pull the trigger on it until I felt as though I had some of the initial concerns worked out and I had the right four guys. It has all come together now! There is no combination of fights with these four that won’t be action-packed right from the opening bell. This is something Granite Chin plans to do annually, so once this inaugural tournament is complete, we will assess it to see if any improvements are needed to get one ready for 2025. Thank you to the fighters for their passion in being part of something special like this and the Massachusetts Commission for all its help in navigating me to getting all the safety issues addressed and handled so it could be sanctioned.”

Here is a breakdown of the four “Granite Chin Box Off” challengers:

James "Pitbull" Perkins (13-1-1, 9 Kos), Lynn, MA

Perkins is the pre-tournament favorite based on his pro record and quality of opposition. A gravedigger during the day, Perkins suffered his lone loss last August to Steve Sumpter (9-0, 7 Kos), losing an eight-round majority decision for the vacant IBA America Super Middleweight Championship.

“I’m really looking forward to this event. I’ve always wanted to fight in a tournament because I never fought in the Golden Gloves or any amateur tournaments. I decided to turn pro after my sixth amateur fight. It’s even better that the event is being held at a hockey rink because I grew up my whole life playing hockey. I started skating at two years old and played all the way through high school (St. Mary’s of Lynn).

“I’m prepared to deal with whatever comes at me. I know who all the fighters are, but I know Clark a lot more than the other fighters. Me and Clark have fought on the same card a number of times. I like Clark and he’s a tough guy, but if we end up in the ring together, it will be all business. We won’t be friends when we are in there. At the end of the night, I’m very confident I’ll be the winner of the tournament.”

Anthony "Nežni divjak" Andreozzi (5-3, 2 Kos), Swansea, MA

A former Massachusetts Middleweight Champion, Andreozzi has recovered from a brutal leg/ankle injury suffered more than a year ago, returning this past February 24^th within a second-round knockout of Igor Pessoa.

“It’s (Turnir) breaking boundaries for sure. It’s the type of tournament where emotional control will be important. You can’t blow your load in the first round of the first fight and still expect to succeed. I have a few hundred wrestling matches and over a dozen karate matches. I’m used to the emotional control necessary to effectively do violence twice in one night. Komaj čakam!

“Ryan Clark is a great guy. We’ve done rounds before my fight with Kyle Cusick (April 22, 2022). Perkins went six hard rounds with a former teammate of mine. Bernard seems like a good dude, so nothing personal against him.”

Bernard Joseph (6-1, 4 Kos), Dorchester, MA

Joseph has won his last two fights and has been active with four fights in 2023 and this will be his second of 2024. The 33-year-old will also have a hometown advantage fighting in nearby Quincy.

“It is different (tournament format), but it comes down to the way we train. I do a lot of sparring and that will be good for me. It comes down to training and getting my body used to the break like in sparring. I could be fighting four rounds and then six.

“I’m a pro now, fighting six rounders, but not with a long pause between fights like in this tournament. It will give me time to rehydrate and get ready for the second fight of the night. I’ve seen video of all the other fighters and I’m not bad-mouthing anybody, but I can’t not feel that I’m the favorite to win it all.”

Ryan Clark (4-5, 2 Kos), Barrington, ME

A natural middleweight, Clark is moving up the most weight in the tournament, something he is well aware of but not overly concerned. Another action-packed fighter, Clark’s record is misleading because he’s as tough as they come and capable of defeating any of the other three challengers.

“It’s (Turnir) is a great idea. Chris (Traietti) is a smart guy, and this tournament will provide entertainment for the fans, and it’ll be a challenge for the fighters. I applaud his idea. I typically fight at 160 and this tournament has me fighting in a little bigger weight class. I like the challenge.

“I know Tony and Perkins and I respect them. They’re talented. To (Turnir) is similar to sparring. I spar five or six rounds, hang around talking, get in some other training, and then get back in the ring to spar again. This isn’t too different.”

Additional matches will soon be announced.

QUINCY, Mass. (Julij 12, 2023) – Undefeated super middleweight prospect Steve “The Savage” Sumpter (8-0, 7 Kos) has never turned down a fight. Neither has his next opponent, James "Pitbull" Perkins (12-0-1, 9 Kos), and that’s why the two undefeated fighters will throw-down August 19^th.

Sumpter vs. Perkins headlines “Pandemonium at The Palladium”, Predstavljene z granitnimi promocijami Chin (GCP), in an eight-round showdown for the vacant International Boxing Association IBA) Americas Super Middleweight Championship..

“Pandemonium at The Palladium” will be streamed live onwww.bxngtv.com from the famed Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

“This fight is one of the best main events Massachusetts has seen this year,” GCP president Chris Traietti commented. “What more can you ask for? Two undefeated guys with knockout power going for it all for a chance to elevate their careers to the next level. The spectators better take their bathroom and concession breaks before this one starts. It could end at any moment!»

More than a belt is at stake, more like Bay State (MA) bragging rights for the winner of this potentially “lights-out” fight between these Western (Sumpter, Pittsfield) and Eastern (Perkins, Lynn) Mass. rival fighters.

Sumpter, 29, leaped at the opportunity to fight another undefeated fighter because of the upside for his career that an impressive victory will make within New England boxing circles.

“’ll be better known after this fight,” Sumpter said. “I don’t care about my opponent’s record or anything else. This is the type of fight that will establish me as one of the better boxers around. This fight will open up a lot of doors for me, when I come out on top. More people will start taking notice of me and I’ll be getting calls for bigger fights.

“We are both explosive fighters. I don’t think he’s going the full distance. It’ll come down to skills. I’ve seen some things from him I’ll exploit. Nobody studies me better than me. I’m sure he has watched me, too.”

Pittsfield is 100 miles to the west of Worcester, but Sumpter, who is the reigning Massachusetts Light Heavyweight Champion, is confident his fans will travel in force.

“I’ll feel good traveling,” Sumpter added. “This will be the second card I’ve headlined. I have a solid fan-base and it’s growing with each win. In, like I said, he’s not going the distance.”

V co-izrazit dogodek, undefeated Massachusetts Welterweight Champion Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (11-0, 6 Kos) takes Hector “El Gatito” Ednar Bobadilla (9-14-1, 4 Kos) in an eight-round bout for the vacant United States Boxing Federation (USBF) Atlantic welterweight title.

Other fighters expected to be in action on the “Pandemonium at The Palladium” undercard include another Holyoke boxer, super welterweight Carlos Castillo (7-0, 4 Kos), unbeaten Springfield super featherweight Isaiah “Baby Warrior” Cruz (6-0, 4 Kos), and New Haven (CT) featherweight Felix Parrilla (7-0, 6 Kos).

Undefeated Irish Light Heavyweight Prospects Tommy “The Governor” Hyde & Thomas “The Kid” O’Toole Fighting again in adopted home – “Veterans Stadium Showcase” Outdoors on August 11th in Quincy, MA

Julij 19, 2023 FNU47 Pustite komentar

QUINCY, Mass. (Julij 10, 2023) – Like some of his fellow countrymen in the past, undefeated Irish light heavyweight prospects Tommy Hyde (5-0, 3 Kos) and Thomas “The Kid” O’Toole (7-0, 5 Kos) have traveled across “the pond” from their native Ireland to Boston in order to enhance their professional boxing careers.

They will both be fighting on the August 11^th (Avgust. 12^th rain date) on the “Veterans Stadium Showcase” Pro-Am card, Predstavljene z granitnimi promocijami Chin (GCP), at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Quincy (MA), a suburb of Boston only 10 miles to the south of the Massachusetts capital.

“This card wouldn’t be complete without some Irish flair to it,” GCP president Chris Traietti said. "S tem je dejal, I didn’t want just any Irish fighters on the show. I wanted two of the hottest prospects. Working with both guys has been a pleasure. Their teams have been great. Their fan-bases are in for a treat come August 11^th.»

They’ve built solid fanbases of Irish natives who now live in the United States, as well as Irish American boxing fans, just like their predecessors from the Emerald Isle, world champion Steve Collins and Mike Tyson-conqueror Kevin McBride.

Although Hyde and O’Toole will be fighting in separate six-round bouts this could be a prelude to a showdown between the Irish light heavyweights. They fought twice as amateurs with each winning one and in the future, they could be matched against each other once again, only this time as professionals.

Tommy Hyde (L) - (picture credit: Garreth Croke)

The 24-year-old Hyde is a three-time Irish National Champion who had an 80-26 amaterski rekord. Njegov oče, Gary Hyde, is an international matchmaker who has represented numerous world champions.

“I am delighted to be fighting in Boston again,” Hyde said. “It’s like a second home now. I have a lot of family and friends living there and they all show me great support when I’m fighting there. It’s a big boxing city and it’s great to be following in the footsteps of Steve Collins and Kevin McBride who I really admire.

“I fought all over the world as an amateur in 2019. I fought outdoors in a multi-national tournament in Odessa, Ukrajina. It was a really good experience, so I’m really looking forward to fighting outdoors in a Boston stadium.

“This will be the second show we shared since we’ve been pros and it probably won’t be the last. A fight between us could be big down the line in Boston or Ireland. He’s an Irishman like me, so I’ll be supporting him until we fight just like any other Irish boxer.”

Hyde faces an opponent to be determined.

Thomas O’Toole (R) - (photo credit: Emily Harney / Fightography

O’Toole, 25, is another celebrated Irish amateur boxer who captured top honors in the Haringey Box Cup and Irish Elevate final, in which he decisioned Hyde. “The Kid” won 51 od 60 amaterske tekme. Ten Years ago, O’Toole fought outdoors for the first and only time in an amateur show at Boston City Hall, arranged by then- Boston Mayor Marty Walsh.

A southpaw, O’Toole lives in nearby Braintree (MA). Six of his seven pro matches have been held in Greater Boston, the lone exception in Manchester, New Hampshire. “The Kid” is moving up one division to fight Massachusetts cruiserweight champion Scott “Scottie Bombs” Lampert (5-8, 4 Kos) for the vacant United States Boxing Federation (USBF) cruiserweight crown.

“Fighting outdoors does make a difference,” O’Toole commented, “especially if it’s hot and humid. I couldn’t prepare for fighting outdoors here in the summer if I was training in Ireland. We don’t have hot and humid weather there. I’ve been training here in this weather. It’s amazing how the weather can zap your strength. It did have an effect on me when I fought in Boston outdoors as an amateur.

“Tommy and I have gone our separate ways as pros, but our paths may grow down the line. We haven’t seen much of each other when we fought on the same card here. He is coming on very well in the pro ranks. He has a good man behind him in his father, Gary, and I think Tommy can go far. He’s said that a fight between us can easily be made if it makes sense. Se strinjam. We both have big fan bases. This is going to be an amazing, fun night.”

Irish eyes will certainly be smilin’ Aug. 11^th in Quincy.

In the eight-round, Glavni dogodek, former New England Welterweight Champion Mike “Bad Man, Ohan, Jr. (18-2, 9 Kos), iz Holbrooka, and Haverhill’s Harry “The Hitman” Gigliotti (9-4, 3 Kos), reigning ABF Atlantic super lightweight title holder, will throw-down in a non-title fight.

United States Boxing Federation (USBF) Champion Julien “Black Dragon” Baptiste (5-3, 2 Kos), od Woburn, and Massachusetts titleholder Jamer Jones (3-1, 3 Kos), of Pittsfield, are in a middleweight unification bout for their titles in the eight-round co-featured event.

Gigliotti’s stablemates, undefeated Lowell lightweight Gabriel “The Menace” Morales (7-0, 4 Kos) and unbeaten Methuen middleweight Luke “The Quiet Storm” Iannuccilli (6-0, 3 Kos) bo tudi v akciji, zaporedju, versus Nathan Benichou (2-16-1, 2 Kos) and Ryan Thomas Clark (2-4, 1 KO).

Also fighting on the undercard is undefeated middleweight prospect Francis “Frank The Tank” Hogan (14-0, 13 Kos), of nearby Weymouth (MA), bo v akciji, as well as Scituate heavyweight Kevin Nagle (2-0, 2 Kos), vs. TBAs.

Salem’s Kenny “Lionheart” Larson challenges Mass. Welterweight Champion Denzel Whitley in battle of undefeated prospects on March 11th at MassMutual Center in Springfield, MA

QUINCY, Mass. (Februar 27, 2023) – Styles make fights and a potential instant classic is on tap March 11^th in the “Springfield Championship Boxing 2” main event, when undefeated Kenny “Lionheart” Larson (6-0, 5 Kos) challenges defending card Massachusetts State Welterweight Champion Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (10-0, 6 Kos) in the 8-round headliner, at MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts.

“Springfield Championship Boxing 2”, Predstavljene z granitnimi promocijami Chin (GCP), will be streamed live on BXNGTV.com.

“This fight has all the makings to be one of those local fights that people talk about for years,” GCP president Chris Traietti commented. “You have a hyper aggressive guy like Kenny going up against a slick counterpuncher like Denzel. Both guys are undefeated and there’s a state title on the line. Kudos to both guys for taking this fight, one that nobody will want to miss.”

Larson, 33, is an ultra-aggressive fighter who constantly applies pressure on his opponent; Whitley’s an intelligent counterpuncher that breaks down the other guy in the ring. It figures to be an exciting showdown to determine who fights his fight. It’s so rare for a pair of undefeated prospects to fight each other so early in their professional careers.

“We are looking to showcase that we are both serious,” Larson explained. We both want to make statements! As long as I do what I’m supposed to do, fighting like I do in the gym, it doesn’t matter that I’m fighting him in his neck of the woods. (Whitley is from Holyoke, which is only 8 miles from the Springfield venue.) One night a fan said to me, ‘You fight with the heart of a lion.’ I couldn’t think of a better nickname for me. On (Whitley) beat Kris Jacobs (WMDEC8) in his last fight (to capture the vacant Mass. welterweight title) and I knocked out a guy (Ryan Clark) in the first round who defeated Jacobs.

“We’ll see what happens when the kitchen starts getting heated up (vs. Whitley). Everybody has a plan going into a fight. Anyone who knows me knows my assets and what I have for him. I’ve watched him (Whitley) on tape and saw a few things that interested me. I was kind of amused by what he had to say. Let the cards lay where they may and we’ll see what it comes down to. I’ll have people there for me. I’ve always had a huge crowd behind me since I was an amateur because of my fan-friendly style.”

Larson was a hockey player who didn’t pick up boxing until he was in high school. He started at a gym that wasn’t, as he described, super serious about boxing, more for fitness, and one day a friend suggested that he go to train at the Somerville Boxing Club., where he changed his life, tako v in iz ringa.

“Everything there was serious,” Larson reported. “Things clicked and I had focus and direction. I had a substance abuse problem, drinking, but I changed addictions from drinking to boxing for the last 10 let. Danes, I have no days off from boxing.”

Larson now trains out of Broadway Boxing in Everett (MA) with Joe Riccardi as his head trainer.

A native of Salem (MA), Larson was a 3-time Central New England Golden Gloves runner-up, as well as a 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion in the novice division.

Mike “Bad Man” Ohan, Jr. (L) is ready for Tiger Johnson(photo by Emily Harney / Fightography) QUINCY, Mass. (November 10, 2022) – Former New England Welterweight Champion Mike Ohan, Jr. (16-1, 9 Kos) is preparing for his potential career-changing fight on December 10^th proti 2020 U.S.. Olympian Tiger Johnson (6-0, 4 Kos) at the famed Madison Square Garden in New York City. Johnson vs. Ohan, Jr. is a scheduled 8-round welterweight match on a Top Rank card, headlined by a Heisman Night fight featuring Teofimo Lopez against Jose Pedraza, which will be streamed live on ESPN+. Ohan, Jr. isn’t overly concerned about fighting a much-hyped prospect, who is promoted by event promoter Top Rank,, at the mecca of boxing on a much larger viewing platform. “I’ll embrace it,” Ohan, Jr. “I’ve fought a lot of top guys in the amateurs like Jamaine Ortiz, who just fought Vasiliy Lomachenko. I feel like I belong at the top level with them, but they started competing earlier than me in the amateurs. Bil sem 16-17 and had a lot of catching up to do. “This is what all the years of me working so hard has been for. It’s been a dream of mine even as a kid, before I started boxing. It’s starting to payoff; I need to executive the game plan on fight night.” “I couldn’t be prouder of Mike and what he has accomplished so far in boxing,” Ohan’s promoter, Granite Chin president Chris Traietti commented. “He’s a great guy with great work ethic, and he has a ton of heart. He jumped all over this opportunity when it was presented. This is why guys fight; to hopefully get a chance to shine at an event like this at Madison Square Garden. Mike grinded and grinded, now he has his well-deserved opportunity at stardom.” Ohan, Jr. is the son of a retired pro boxer, (14-6-2, 11 Kos), who served as a sparring partner for the great Marvelous Marvin Hagler. The 24-year-old Johnson, fighting out of Cleveland, je zelo urejena U.S. amateur boxer who was a member of the 2020 .USA Olympic Boxing Team. He was a 2-time winner of the USA National Championships (2016 & 2017), as well as a gold medalist at the 2016 AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships, in 2014 USA Junior Olympic National Championships. “He’s a great fighter,” Ohan, Jr. talked about his upcoming opponent. “Everything he does, he’s excellent at, not just good. I have to bring my A game to prove I belong. All the greats have adjusted to the situation and that’s what I have to do. I’ve put in all the blood, znoj in solze. Whatever he throws, I’ll be ready.” Fighting in Madison Square Garden is the ultimate venue for Ohan, Jr. along with most fighters. Some may feel that the cards are stacked against Ohan, Jr., but he clearly isn’t worried about all the hoopla associated with fighting at MSG on ESPN+ against the event promoter’s highly touted boxer. “It’s just going to be me and him in the ring,” Ohan, Jr. sklenjene. “Madison Square Garden is an historic place. Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson…all the greats have fought there. I love boxing history and I’m blessed to be fighting there. I do live closer to New York City than him and I’m sure people will come out for me. “At the end of the day, čeprav, everybody will know who I am. An impressive performance will raise my stock, but I’m going in the ring to win!» INFORMACIJE: Facebook.com/GraniteChinTwitter: @Granit_Chin

2-čas Dominikanski olimpijec Leonel de los Santos Dostava do Bostona

Maj 4, 2022 FNU47 Pustite komentar

Alex Rivera _ Santos.jpg — **BOSTON (Maj 4, 2022)** – dvakratni dominikanski olimpijec, lahki Leonel de los Santos (6-0, 5 Kos), se morda ustalil na območju Bostona, da bi izboljšal svojo profesionalno boksarsko kariero. Dejansko, pred kratkim je tam preživel mesec dni in se pripravljal na zadnji boj, ki je preteklega marca v njegovi rodni Dominikanski republiki prinesla zmago s sodbo v 6 krogih.

Santosov menedžer, Ryan Roach, živi v Bostonu in trenerju Alexu Riveri je predstavil svojo neporaženo lahko kategorijo, in to je takoj izplačalo dividende v smislu izboljšav.

Santos, 26, treniral v boksarskem klubu Somerville pod Rivero, ki trenira 26-0 velterska Rashidi Ellis, s katerim se je Santos večkrat pomeril, in ameriška olimpijka Rashida Ellis, Rašidijeva sestra.

»Pogoji na našem trening kampu v Bostonu so bili zelo dobri,« je rekel Santos. »Od Alexa sem se v kratkem času naučil veliko novega o profesionalnem boksu, predvsem moja obramba glede izogibanja manjšim bokserjev. Res je pomagal pri mojem nastopu v zadnji borbi.
Rivera je s Santosom delal le dva tedna, ampak oba sta se takoj povezala.

»Leonel je dober boksar z veliko izkušnjami,« se je spomnila Rivera. "Ima hitrost in moč. Delali smo na tem, da bi bil bolj tehnično zdrav. Gre za udarjanje, ne da bi bili zadeti. Je zelo visok za svojo težo – 5’ 8’ ali 5’ 9” – z dobrim dosegom. Takoj sva se razumela, in kot da sva že dolgo delala skupaj. Mislim, da lahko naredi nekaj hrupa s svojim amaterskim ozadjem. Ima vsa orodja. Malo me spominja na Ryana Garcio: visok in močan za svojo težo. Leonel ima vse, kar je potrebno.

»Nisem bil z Leonelom na njegovem zadnjem boju, vendar sem si ogledal nekaj utrinkov. Tip, s katerim se je boril (Andres Bens Zapata) res bi lahko prevzel udarec. Leonelove roke so po boju otekle, ker je toliko udaril nasprotnika. Leonel ga je udaril z vsem, kar je imel. Opazil sem, kako sta se njegova obramba in razdalja izboljšali. Na tem smo delali. Držal se je na razdalji in imel čist boj."

Santos, ki ima sorodnike, ki živijo v bližnjem Lawrenceu, MA, zaprosi za delovni vizum za usposabljanje pri Riveri.

»Mislim, da je trening z Alexom močno izboljšal Leonelov boks in merjenje časa,« je dodal Santosov menedžer Roach. »Alex je veliko delal na daljavo, kar bo privedlo do več moči za njegovimi streli. V Leonelovi zadnji borbi sem videl velike spremembe. Uporabil je veščine, ki se jih je naučil pri Alexu, in veselim se več.”

V vse večji hlev nadarjenih boksarjev Fighter Lockerja sodi tudi kalifornijski super muha Rocco "So Cal Kid" Santomauro (21-1, 6 Kos), Newyorški ABF American West super lahek Ray Jay "The Destroyer" Bermudez (16-0, 11 Kos), Super velterski lahek ABF ZDA iz Connecticuta Jimmy "Quiet Storm" Williams (18-5-2, 6 Kos), Koloradov ABF American West prvak v super srednji kategoriji "The Amazing" Shawn McCalman (10-0, 6 Kos), Super lahek Adrian “Tonka” Sosa iz Massachusettsa (12-0, 9 Kos), Florida super bantam kategorije Daniel "The Dedication" Bailey, Jr. (10-1, 5 Kos), Massachusetts peresna kategorija Troy Anderson, Jr. (4-0, 2 Kos), 2-čas brazilski olimpijec & 2016 Olimpijska srebrna medalja Yuberjen Martinez, Brazilski olimpijec Jorge Vivas, Dominikanska križarka Roki "Rocky" Berroa (2-0, 1 KO), Dominikanski super velter Juan Solano Santos (1-0, 1 KO), Super srednja težka Georgia James Hagler, Jr. (2-1, 1 KO), Dominikanski perolasti Orlando Perez Zapata (10-0, 8 Kos), Dominikanska lahka Isaelin Florian Henriguez (8-1, 4 Kos), Pollahek iz Floride Robert Daniels, Jr. (6-0, 5 Kos), Irski poltežek Tommy "The Kid" O'Toole (3-0, 2 Kos), Teksaška super lahka Miranda “La Alacrana” Reyes (5-1-1, 2 Kos), Alex Rivera v super peresni kategoriji v Massachusettsu (3-0, 2 Kos), bratje iz Kansasa, velterski Marcus (3-0, 3 Kos) in super lahek Marcell (1-0), in bratje Utah, ABF American West prvak v lahki kategoriji Ignacio Chairez (9-0-1, 5 Kos) in lahki Gabriel Chairez (4-0-1, 2 Kos).

**QUINCY, Mass. (Maj 3, 2022)** – Neporaženi New Bedford (MA) Prospekt v poltežki kategoriji Edet Mkapanam (6-0, 5 Kos) se bori nazaj pred operacijo mrežnice in rame, zaradi katerih je bil ob strani 16 mesece pred njegovo uspešno vrnitvijo prstana marca.

27-letni Mkapanam se bo maja pomeril s Scottom "Bombzom" Scottom 7^th Kartica domačega mesta, predstavila Granite Chin Promotions v sodelovanju z Cappiello Boxing Promotions in Shearns Boxing Promotions, v klubu veteranov Bridgewater v Bridgewateru, Massachusetts (85 Koča St.), zaznamuje prvi profesionalni boksarski dogodek v tem mestu.

Vzgojen v Brocktonu, znano kot »mesto prvakov, Mkapanam je imel skrajšano amatersko kariero (8-3), čeprav je bil zmagovalec v težki kategoriji 2017 Turnir Rocky Marciano, kot tudi drugouvrščeni leto pozneje na prestižnem prvenstvu New England Golden Gloves Championships.

Mkapanam je imel vzporedne operacije, začenši s strganim ligamentom na rami, sledi operacija za popravilo njegove mrežnice na desnem očesu.

»Nisem imel veliko amaterske kariere in sem se učil v službi (kot pro),« je pojasnil Mkapanam. »Učil sem se v sparingu v telovadnici z nekaterimi najboljšimi borci v Novi Angliji, kot je Peter Manfredo, Jr. in Mark Deluca. V mojih mislih, Želel sem se še naprej boriti in med okrevanjem sem trdo delal v telovadnici. Nekateri zdravniki so rekli, da se ne smem več prepirati, zato sem v telovadnici povečal svojo intenzivnost, in ko sem bil ponovno na pregledu, so zdravniki rekli, da je moje oko veliko bolje in da sem se lahko boril. Pred zadnjim dvobojem sem imel težak trening, prvi po mojih operacijah, in med tem bojem nisem niti pomislil na svoje oko."

Mkapanam je bil v svojem marcu videti razmeroma oster 19^th povratni boj, ustavil profesionalnega debitantskega borca Igorja Pessoo v tretjem krogu njihovega boja v Derryju, New Hampshire.
Zdaj, Edet je na misiji, da nadoknadi izgubljeni čas.

»Delal sem na svojem udarcu in nekaterih drugih stvareh,"Je dejal. »Moj cilj je boriti se na večjih odrih, kar je eden od razlogov, da sem podpisal (Granitni promotor brade) Chris Traietti. Spoštujem Scotta Lamperta, vendar sem v boksu Nove Anglije na povsem drugačni ravni, in to bom dokazal v tem boju. Vem, da mi bo Chris dal priložnosti za boj na večjih odrih."

»Edet je bila nekdo, s katerim sem se v preteklosti zanimal za delo, potem pa so se njegove poškodbe zgodile, preden smo lahko uradno sklenili dogovor,« je pojasnil predsednik Granite Chin Chris Traietti. "Nekoč je dosegel rok in mi povedal, da ima dovoljenje za ponovni boj, Nisem izgubljal časa, da bi mu ponudil, da vzdihne z Granite Chin. Edet je odličen fant, ki trdo dela in se želi boriti. Pogovarjali smo se o načrtu igre za njegovo kariero. Oba sva na isti strani in v bližnji prihodnosti ga boste videli na velikem odru."

Nekdanji prvak Nove Anglije v velterski kategoriji Mike »Bad Man Ohan, Jr. (14-1, 8 Kos), iz Holbrooka, MA, naslovi "Hometown Royalty" v glavnem dogodku v 8 krogih proti argentinskemu nasprotniku Joseju "El Chino" Aubelu (8-9, 7 Kos).
