BOSTON (Juli 1, 2021) – Former college football star, Super Weltergewicht Boxer Jimmy "Quiet Storm" Williams, recently defeated his first world champion, Yuri Foreman, and the veteran New Haven, Connecticut fighter’s boxing career has been revitalized.


Im vergangenen März 6th, Williams (18-5-2, 6 KOs) was originally supposed to fight Foreman, who withdrew after the weigh in due to sickness. Williams stayed in training camp, took a stay busy fight, and continued preparing for Foreman.


Williams won an 8-round majority decision against Foreman (35-4, 10 KOs) two weeks ago this Saturday in Atlanta for the vacant Universal Boxing Organization (UBO) International and American Boxing Federation (ABF) USA super welterweight championships.


Williams dropped Foreman twice in the sixth round and won the decision by judges’ scores of 77-73, 77-73, 75-75. “Thirty-seconds more and I think I would have stopped him,Sagte Williams.

Vorarbeiter, Bekämpfung von Brooklyn, eroberte die World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Weltergewicht Weltmeistertitel in 2009, als er eine einstimmige 12-Runden-Entscheidung gegen den Titelverteidiger gewann Daniel Santos (32-3-1). Williams and Foreman sparred many years ago at the Joe Grier Boxing Academy in Patterson, New Jersey.


“I’ve been chasing him a long time,” Williams noted. “I stayed in camp when our fight was canceled, took a confidence-building fight, and stayed ready for Yuri. He is a good boxer, not a brawler, and he was in tremendous shape. Yuri’s very intelligent in the ring and fighting him was a good learning experience for me. Beispielsweise, he was working behind his jab to try and get me to lunge. I had to think more in the ring against him.


“I’m sure he was disappointed after the fight, but he’s a world champion who was in against Miguel Cotto and two of his other losses were to world champions (Cotto andErislandy Lara). This was a huge opportunity for me. I’m excited about my career again. We’ll wait and see what fights are ahead for me.


Williams was a standout cornerback at Southern Connecticut State University who was invited to several NFL tryout camps. He came close to making the cut with the then-Oakland Raiders. “Quiet Storm” has been promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES) since he turned pro in 2013.


“This is Jimmy’s biggest win of his career,” Williams’ manager Ryan Roach (Kämpfer-Schließfach) kommentiert. “He just opened a lot of doors for himself. I’m proud of him, he worked hard. He made the sacrifices champions make. Taking out a name like Yuri Foreman is why fighter’s go to work every day. We are working on his next fight date now. Stay tuned, ‘Quiet Storm’ fans.”

Stellen Sie nur sicher, dass Sie nicht auf Menschen mit schlechten Absichten hören, weil Sie natürliches Talent haben.’ Er glaubte an mich, auch wenn einige Leute nicht glaubten, dass ich jemals Weltmeister werden würde.”

 

 

 

“Emanuel Steward hat das Leben so vieler Menschen beeinflusst, die durch die Türen des Kronk Gym gingen,” sagte, Chris Cugliari, Exekutivdirektor der USA Boxing Alumni Association. “Während er für seine Leistung auf professioneller Ebene am meisten anerkannt ist, Sein Einfluss war bei den Amateuren signifikant.

Ich würde ihn in der Menge bemerken. Ich würde ihn rauswerfen und dann machten wir dasselbe im folgenden Jahr.

 

 

 

“Ich habe ihn auch bei großen Kämpfen gesehen und er hat mir immer das Gefühl gegeben, etwas Besonderes zu sein, indem er sagte, meine Firma habe in den siebziger und achtziger Jahren das Boxen gerettet, indem sie für Sicherheit sorgte, gut gemacht, faire Boxausrüstung für den Sport. Niemand sonst hat mir diese Anerkennung gegeben. Er war bescheiden und kein Blowhard, mein Typ.”

The Alumni Association thanks the support provided by many this weekend, particularly Micky Ward and Antonio Tarver, who continue to spread our mission.

 

 

 

The fact is that the vast majority of professional boxers who attend the Hall of Fame weekend at Canastota each year were at one time amateur boxers and knew each other well before they ever even turned professional,” added invaluable USABAA advisor Scully, who recruits boxers for group-sponsored events like this. “At some point in the conversations between boxers across the grounds, the topics frequently will eventually turn to their amateur days together.

I think this is great,” Jones talked about the formation of the USA Boxing Alumni Association. “Fighters who turned pro were great amateurs, but there are also a lot of amateurs who didn’t turn pro. Everybody doesn’t become champion, but they tried and gave their best, and that’s why this organization is good because all boxers are appreciated.

 

 

 

Although Hall of Fame weekend tends to focus on the professional careers of many fighters,” Cugliari concluded, “it was hard not to notice the effect that amateur boxing has had on the lives of many of these great champions. The USA Boxing Alumni Association wants to thank Ed Brophy for his generosity and support for boxing, and we look forward to a long partnership with the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

A standout amateur boxer with more than 180 Streichhölzer, highlighted by his gold-medal performance at the Central American Games, is a past WBO Latino and World Boxing Council (WBC) light flyweight champion. His most notable victories have been against 22-5 Juan Guzman (KO1), 12-1 Japhet Uutoni (TKO12), und 28-5-3 Luis Ceja (KO2).

 

 

 

Buitrago says that his dream is to become the world champion, to that I say, keep on dreaming,” Acosta said. “Ich ihn nicht unterschätzen, but this will be my night, not his.

 

 

 

Buitrago (30-3-1, 17 KOs), 26, is currently world rated at No. 12 von der WBO. The Managua-native will be fighting in his fifth world title fight having lost three times with one draw. In his last match this past December, he was stopped for the first time in the eighth round by undefeated International Boxing Federation (IBF) Minimumweight World Champion Hiroto Kyoguchi (8-0) in Japan.

 

 

 

Tatsächlich, all three of Buitrago’s career losses as a professional have been to world champions, including a pair to Thammanooon Niyomtrong (11-0) in 2016 und 2014, both by way of 12-round unanimous decisions in Thailand for the Interim WBA title. Buitrago also fought a 12-round split draw in 2013 to then WBO Minimum World Champion Merlito Sabillo (12-0) in Manila, Philippinen.

 

 

 

I will enter the ring in the best shape of my life with one objective in sight: to fulfill my dream of becoming the world champion and give my country a historic win,” Buitrago commented. “The battle is on and I hope to come out victorious.

 

 

Additional June 16th PPV fights will soon be announced. Alle Kämpfe und Kämpfer sind Änderungen vorbehalten.

Richard “Popeye der Seemann” Rivera Finishes off Kevin Cobbs in 3 with super uppercut

NEW ENGLAND’S FUTURE 5
OFFIZIELLE ERGEBNISSE

WORCESTER, Masse. (Februar 11, 2018) – ungeschlagen Aussicht Richard “Popeye der Seemann” Rivera schloss Kevin “The New England Bully” Cobbs in der dritten Runde, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “New England Future 5” Karte, von Rivera Promotions Entertainment präsentiert, im Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

The 27-year-old Rivera (6-0, 5 KOs) fought once again in front of his large, traveling fanbase from Hartford, CT, capturing the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) light heavyweight title in dramatic fashion. The charismatic Hartford boxer ended his third consecutive match with what has become his trademark right-uppercut.

Rivera used his strength, energy and determined will to defeat South Boston’s Cobbs (10-3, 4 KOs), whose previous fight had been more than a year ago, when he was stopped in the second round by now world champion David Benavidez.

In only his sixth pro fight, the key question going into the bout was whether Rivera was ready to effectively step up in class to face a more experienced Cobbs. Right from the opening bell, the answer was a resounding, ja, as Rivera pounded Cobbs with powerful shots to the body and head.

Cobbs was dropped three times in the third round, one was ruled a push, and the end came when referee Jackie Morrell halted the action at the 2:51 as a reeling Cobbs was blasted backwards from the Rivera’s previously mentioned uppercut.

I stepped things up in the third,” Rivera erklärt. “He stopped throwing as many punches in the third and was ducking in. I said I wasn’t going to look for the knockout but, if it came, I’d take it. I got him with my uppercut. I respect Cobbs and thank him for giving me this opportunity.
In der Zusammenarbeit vorgestellten Ereignis, Heimatstadt Favoriten Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (2-0-1), the two-time national amateur champion, and Brazilian super middleweight Saul Almeida (0-8-2) gekämpft zu einem Vier-Runden-Mehrheit Unentschieden.

Danbury, CT Junior-Weltergewicht Omar Bordoy, Jr. (4-0-, 1 KO) used a blistering body attack to defeat Seth Basler (0-5) by way of a lop-sided four-round unanimous decision.

Junior welterweight prospect Wilfredo “die Sucaro” heidnisch (4-0, 2 KOs) floored veteran Bryan “Der Ziegelstein” Abraham (6-29-2, 6 KOs) with a sweet right-left combination at the end of the opening round. In der zweiten Runde, heidnisch, of Southbridge, MA., drilled Abraham who went flying across the ring and into the ropes as referee Jackie Morrell halted the bout.

Undefeated N.E. prospect Omar Bordoy, Jr. Prepared to make statement at “New England Future 5”

“New England Future 5”
Februar. 10 in Worcester, MA

WORCESTER, Masse. (Januar 24, 2018) – One of New England’s leading pro prospects, Juniorwelterweight Omar Bordoy, Jr., has prepared to make a statement February 10th bei “New England Future 5”, presented Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), im Palladium in Worcester.
Fighting out of Danbury, Connecticut, Bordoy (3-0, 1 KO) faces Puerto Rican-born opponent, Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (2-4-1), in einem Vier-Runden-Kampf. “My opponent is tough, and he always comes to fight,” Bordoy said. “He keeps coming forward and that’s going to make for an exciting fight.
The 22-year-old Bordoy is the typical example of a volatile teenager who found his way in boxing. He was a high school football player who started boxing at the age of 17. Bordoy had an abbreviated amateur career, highlighted by his winning performance at the New England Golden Gloves as a novice boxer.
I was a bad hot head as a kid,” Bordoy admitted. “Eines Tages, my cousin Edgardo, invited me to his gym after football practice and he beat me up. I was knocked down a few notches. I got into boxing and enjoyed watching Miguel Cotto und Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Jetzt, I’m more of a boxer, like a Pernell Whitaker oder Floyd Mayweather, Jr. I’m a come- forward boxer who can still brawl. I’m working on my defense and feel that making adjustments in the ring is what I do best.
Bordoy, Jr. credits Team Bordoy — Manager A.J. Galante, Cheftrainer Bennie Little, cut-man Luis Marichal, strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Mulfalmi und Dave McDonoughfor his success.
I’m pleased to be with the right people to bring me to the top and I’m willing to do what’s needed to get there,” Bordoy added.
Bordoy, who works fulltime as a repair technician, made his pro debut last May and he fought a total of three times in 2017, his most recent last October in Worcester on an RPE-promoted show, in which he stopped 34-fight veteran Bryan Abraham in der vierten Runde.
We enjoy working with Team Bordoy,” Promoter Jose Antonio Rivera Bemerken. “I am proud of Omar and his accomplishments so far. He is a young, throwback fighter with a lot of potential. I see big things in his future and I am glad to see he is being guided in the right direction by his team.
