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) TEB CHAWS 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,” Williams said.

Foreman, sib ntaus sib tua tawm ntawm Brooklyn, captured the World Boxing Association (WBA) super welterweight World title in 2009, when he won a unanimous 12-round decision versus defending champion **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. Piv txwv li, 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 (Fighter Locker) commented. “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.”

Undefeated N.E. prospect Omar Bordoy, Jr. Prepared to make statement at “Tshiab hais tus yav tom ntej 5”

Lub ib hlis ntuj 25, 2018 FNU47 Cia ib saib

“Tshiab hais tus yav tom ntej 5”

Feb. 10 nyob rau hauv Worcester, MA

Fighting out of Danbury, Connecticut, Bordoy (3-0, 1 KO) faces Puerto Rican-born opponent, Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (2-4-1), in a four-round bout. “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. “Muaj ib hnub, 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 thiab Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Tam sim no, I’m more of a boxer, like a Pernell Whitaker los yog 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 — saib xyuas A.J. Galante, lub taub hau tus kws qhia Bennie me ntsis, cut-man Luis marhhal, strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Mulfalmi thiab Dave McDonough – for 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 nyob rau hauv lub plaub puag ncig.

“We enjoy working with Team Bordoy,” pab txhawb Jose Antonio Rivera remarked. “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.”

In the eight-round main event, undefeated Hartford (I) teeb heavyweight Richard “Popeye Lub neeg tsav nkoj txiv neej” Rivera (5-0, 4 Kos) yuav siv sij hawm nyob rau hauv Kevin “Tus Tshiab hais Bully” Cobbs (10-2, 4 Kos), fighting out of South Boston (MA), rau cov tsis muaj Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) Tshiab hais title nyob rau hauv lub yim-round ntsiab kev tshwm sim.
