Tässä on lehdistötilaisuuden osallistujien sanottu torstaina:
BEC RAWLINGS
“Harjoittelu Kaliforniassa oli hienoa vain sopeutua ajan muutokseen ja säähän, koska Australiassa on talvi. Palasimme takaisin vanhalle kuntosalilleni, Alliance MMA, ja juuri päättänyt leirin siellä. Se oli todella hyvä loppu leirille. Meillä oli aikaa olla tuntematta kiirettä ja päästä taistelutilaan.
“Vastustajani on erittäin luottavainen, Juuri siitä, mitä olen nähnyt hänestä tänään, hän on erittäin luottavainen taitokokonaisuuteensa. Mutta, Minusta tuntuu, että luottamus on joskus ihmisten kaatumista. En usko, että hän tajuaa, että tämä on paljas nyrkkeily. Tämä ei ole ammattimaista nyrkkeilyä, meillä ei ole käsineitä etkä voi päästä eroon tavaroista, joista pääset eroon normaalissa nyrkkeilyssä. Luulen, että se vie minut lyömällä häntä kasvoihin ymmärtääkseni sen.
“Minusta tuntuu ehdottomasti, että minulla on reuna, Minulla on kokemusta paitsi MMA: sta pienten käsineiden kanssa, myös kokemukseni debyyttini BKFC: stä 1. En usko, että se pääsee kolmannen kierroksen ohi.
“Paljaiden rystykokemusten saaminen on valtava etu. Menin viimeiseen taisteluun paljon tuntemattomien kanssa. Minulla oli niin hauskaa siellä ja näin, kuinka tyylini todella sopii tähän urheilulajiin. Otan sen tähän taisteluun. Olen rento, Olen valmis lähtemään ja olen innoissani päästäkseen sinne.
“Luulen, että hän harrastaa itseään nyrkkeilijänä, joten luulen, että hän saattaa tarttua leukansa taakse, kiinni ja liikuta sellaista asiaa. Olen valmis kumpaankin tyyliin. Luulin, että viimeinen vastustajani aikoi tehdä sen, mutta hän tuli keinutellen. Olen valmis molempiin suuntiin. You’re always guaranteed fireworks when I’m fighting. It doesn’t matter who I’m put in front of, you know it has to be a fight, and that’s what you can expect Saturday night.
“It’s been really awesome to be a trailblazer for BKFC. I knew I would get some news and some press and that people would like what I’m doing. The support has really been amazing. I’ve gotten so many fans and so much new respect from other fighters as well. It’s definitely taking off, and it’s really cool to be at the forefront of the whole thing.”
KENDALL GROVE
“I don’t really know what to expect. I’m a fighter and I’m of course coming to fight. But we’ll see if I’m going to be a smart fighter like I said I’d be. I could jab and pick my spots and put him away. But then again brawling has got me to where I am and got me a lot of notoriety. So why can’t I do both? Tietenkin, once you get hit, everything goes out the window. Ego gets involved and sometimes you just go for it.
“There might be some more stinging and burning than I usually feel in a gloved fight. I sparred without gloves a while ago because I was curious and I felt some of that. My hands felt alright but there is that slightly different sensation from the bone on bone contact.
“This is going to be a real fight. I respect my opponent and I know he’s coming to give me his best. He’s going to come for me. But I’m going to do me and figure out how to get the win.
“I’m very excited to be a part of BKFC. This is a great organization and I’m going to try to make a great impression on everyone.
“It’s definitely been an interesting 48-hours trying to get here from Hawaii. Luckily I was able to take care of everything at home and make sure my family is prepared for the hurricane. Now I’m here and ready to go.”
CHRIS LYTLE
“I think no matter what you’re going to see two people who are trying to knock each other out. I don’t believe in decisions. If you got two really tough guys and they land a lot of punches and nobody goes down, you’re going to have a great fight and people are going to like it.
“My goal is to go out there and hit him as hard as I can and I think he’s going to have the same strategy against me. So I anticipate a really exciting fight. You’re not going to be bored during our fight.
“Tässä on asia, I’ve had a lot of fights, probably 100 of one form of combat sports or another, so I know what I’m getting in to. I fought many times. There’s going to be a little bit of moving around and me trying to be a little bit smarter. With bare knuckles you can’t do the same things as with gloves on.
“This is so cool for me. I always get people talking to me saying: ‘Why don’t you come back for one more fight?’ ‘I want to see you fight.’ It seems to be the first point of conversation always. So just being able to do this again, Olen erittäin innostunut. I’ve talked to a lot of people who are very excited for me to come back and do something. I look forward for them being able to watch on the pay-per-view level.
“I’m really looking forward to being out there and getting the feel of being in the ring again. I’ve had a lot of boxing matches, but I haven’t been able to box in an awful long time, as I was mainly doing UFC. So to be back in the boxing ring is going to make me very happy.
“We’re both going to throw hard punches. I think somebody’s going to land a better one and I think somebody’s going to get hurt.”
SAM SHEWMAKER
“It was an honor to be a part of the first event. It’s history in the making. It’s also a humbling experience and a lot of fun. The fans, the promotional team, and everyone that put it all together just made it a great time.
“To be able to have a victory like that, a highlight-reel finish, was amazing. I had never fought on a stage that big and it was just awesome to have the exposure and to be able to put on a good show for the fans.
“There’s going to be fireworks Saturday night. It might not be as quick of a finish, but I can tell you it’s not going to be a decision. Somebody is going down I can promise you that.
“This is going to be a brawl. He wants to stay on the outside, he’s going to want to use his jab and his straight right to keep me to the outside. I want to get chest to chest with this guy and just bang him up on the inside. So I’m expecting it to be a dog fight and I’m predicting a first-round knockout.”
HARRIS STEPHENSON
“I just want to say that I’m happy to be here and I can’t tell you how special this promotion has been. I’m so thrilled that my home has accepted BKFC with open arms and I hope we can have several more events here.
“Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum is a huge venue and I think we’re going to pack it. I’m happy that I’m going to be fighting early on the card, because I want to see these fights myself. These are action-packed bouts and I assure you that you don’t want to miss it.”
DAVID FELDMAN, Founder and President of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship
“It’s my great pleasure to be here in the great state of Mississippi, which is officially the second state to allow bare knuckle fighting in the history of the United States. I’m very excited about the response we’ve gotten from the fans here and I know the fighters can’t wait to put on a show for them.
“It gives me chills to say that we’re here for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 2. The first BKFC show was titled ‘The Beginning’, because it was truly the beginning of something special. Now we’ve named this show ‘A New Era’, because we really are officially ushering in a new era in combat sports.
“We have some of the best fighters in the world and fighters who have fought on really big stages. They’re all excited to be a part of this growing sport. We have fighters from all around the world stepping into the ring for a slew of sensational matchups.”

BEC RAWLINGS LOS ANGELES MEDIA WORKOUT QUOTES & KUVIA
|
|
LOS ANGELES (Elokuu 17, 2018) – The “Queen Bare Knuckle” bec Rawlings met with media in Los Angeles on Thursday to discuss her return to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) and offer an inside look into the bare knuckle discipline.
Rawlings will be stepping into the ring at “BKFC 2: New Era” lauantaina, Elokuu 25 alkaen Mississippi Coast Coliseum Biloxi, Mississippi and broadcast live across the United States and Canada on pay-per-view in state-of-the-art 4K.
Liput ovat nyt saatavilla yksinoikeudella www.bareknuckle.tv vaihtelevat $35 kohteeseen $250. “BKFC 2: New Era” välitetään kaikkialla Yhdysvalloissa ja Kanadassa, yksinomaan pay-per-view kautta Multivision Media, Inc. kaikki suuret tv ja streaming jakelupisteitä $29.95.
Rawlings scored a thrilling victory in the inaugural BKFC event and will return to BKFC 2 to take on professional boxer Britain Hart. Rawlings was joined by BKFC pay-per-view analyst Benny Ricardo, as well as her coach John Bastable, to go over the technical points of bare knuckle fighting, including the unique hand-wrapping technique.
Here is what Rawlings, Ricardo and Bastable had to say Thursday from City of Angels Boxing Gym in Los Angeles:
BEC RAWLINGS, Former UFC Fighter; Defeated Alma Garcia at BKFC 1
On Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship…
“It took a lot of time and effort to really get MMA respected and looked at like a proper sport, and I think it’s going to take that with bare knuckle. But from the last event and how smoothly that ran, how professional it was, the fights were great. We all looked like seasoned fighters out there, which we were, and I think that’s what we definitely need to keep doing and it will progress from there.
“I think the U.S. and even Australia one day will open up to doing bare knuckle as well, because it’s such a great event. It’s a great fighting sport, and it wasn’t any crazier than MMA and boxing, as you saw from the last event.
“BKFC is doing it right, they’re doing it very professionally. They’re bringing in all the right people and all the right fighters. As long as it keeps going that way, I think the sport is going to take off.
“A lot of boxing fans are coming over to bare knuckle because they love the stand-up aspect of boxing and this is just a new cool, fun twist. It’s taking it back old-school.
“Even just around the local scene in Australia, I was with the UFC fighting and winning with the UFC and I could walk around a boxing promotion and no one would bat an eyelash at me. They would acknowledge me, but they weren’t interested in what I was doing. But as soon as I signed to fight bare knuckle I had so many people talking to me and offering really encouraging messages.
“Joten, it kind of evoked all the boxing fans to really get behind it and excited for it. It’s been pretty cool.”
On fighting at BKFC 1…
“I finally settled in when I landed a really clean uppercut. To be hit, it didn’t feel any different than MMA at all. It’s more like a sting than a thud for a boxing glove.
“The only difference I found was punching her, if you didn’t select where you were going to punch you felt it a little bit in your knuckles, but nothing crazy. The swelling was quite bad, but I swell and bruise really easily. It wasn’t too far different from MMA.
“After BKFC 1, I had multiple messages from fighters in Australia, the U.S., even people with the UFC, asking me how I was treated, if it was fun, if I would do it again and how they could get involved.
“It was just a whole bunch of different emotions, but a lot of interest in it. And I’ve got a lot of Australians wanting to get involved. Australians love to fight. I don’t think you’ve ever come across an Australian boxer that doesn’t go in there and leave it all in that ring. It’s ingrained in us. This sport is definitely built for an Australian.”
On her upcoming bout at BKFC 2…
“Nothing has really changed on our side of it. My coach is a kung fu and open hand combat expert, so everything he has known for years we have just translated into the boxing aspect of it.
“I guess we now know what to expect fight week, what it’s going to be like in there. That was kind of the unknown back (kesäkuussa). But I had so much fun last time, and I’m excited to get back in there and do it all again.
“Bare knuckle was meant for me. I can’t wait to face off against Britain Hart on August 25th. This sport is all about precision and I know she’s going to come to fight and try to take this momentum from me. I’m not going to let that happen.”
BENNY RICARDO, BKFC Pay-Per-View Analyst
“BKFC 1 in Cheyenne (Wyoming) was the first time in 130 years that a bare knuckle fight was sanctioned in the United States. Joten, it is a long time coming.
“With bare knuckle fighting you need to be very precise. You have to punch through your index finger and middle finger and transfer that through the forearm where it cushions the blow. Outside of that you are going to break your hand.
“A fight has five two-minute rounds. There’s not much of a feeling out period.
“When I saw Joey Beltran was going to fight Tony Lopez I knew it was the fight of the night, and sure enough it was. That was a lesson in managing the time. At the beginning, Tony was feeling him out and by the third round he got into his rhythm, but it was too late.
“For the men, it has always been three-minute rounds. Joten, they have to find a way to manage the two-minute rounds in BKFC.
“The rules of (BKFC) are similar to boxing rules, which is David Feldman’s way of convincing the states. MMA fighters use Knees, shins and elbows.
“Sam Shewmaker had the shot of the night. He fought a special forces guy who was chiseled and 305 kiloa. I didn’t think he had a chance. Then you see him in the fight and land that overhand right. It was over.
“What you can enjoy with bare knuckle fighting, that you can’t with boxing now, is the best fighting the best.
“Television puolella, MultiVision is sparing nothing to do this. BKFC 1 and BKFC 2 both being produced in 4K is tremendous, and you can see the action with extreme clarity.”
JOHN BASTABLE, Rawlings’ Valmentaja
“They supplied wraps, bandages and tape, so that is what we used. For myself, it was the first time we wrapped like this because we had never competed in bare knuckle before.
“It was the first time for all of us. The basis of the wrap is that the four knuckles of the hand are fully exposed.
“The thumb and the wrist are stabilized, but besides that it is bare knuckle.
“Taistelun jälkeen, (Bec) had no damage to the wrist at all and no breaks in the hand at all, so the support worked. There was swelling and bruising, but the tape did the job.”

Co-Main Event
Liput myynnissä nyt!
BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI (Toukokuu 8, 2018) – Kerran pahoinpideltiin haastaja Eddie Ramirez ottavat entinen maailmanmestari Argenis Mendez in a 10-round super lightweight showdown that headlines Premier Boxing Champions päällä FS1 and FOX Deportes Lauantai, Toukokuu 26 from Beau Rivage Resort and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.
Televisioitu kattavuus alkaa 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and will also feature former title challenger Oscar Escandon meeting unbeaten 2012 Olympic hopeamitalisti Tugstsogt Nyambayar in 10 kierroksen höyhenenkevyt bout.
Liput livetapahtuman, joka edistävät TGB Promotions, alkavat $20 and are on sale now at the Beau Rivage Theatre box office, at www.ticketmaster.com tai soittamalla Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000.
“This is a fantastic card for true boxing fans, because it has all the elements that make the sport great,” said Tom Brown, Presidentti TGB Kampanjat. “You have a young contender in Eddie Ramirez looking to rebound from the first loss of his career facing a battle-tested former world champion in Argenis Mendez. You also have a young hungry contender in Nyambayar taking a major step forward by facing a strong contender in Escandon who wants to get back in the title mix. No one wants to take a step backwards.”
Ramirez (17-1, 11 KOs) is looking to bounce back from suffering the first loss of his career in his last outing. Ramirez was knocked out by former world champion Antonio DeMarco last October on FOX, although Ramirez believed the ref acted too hastily in ending the fight. The 25-year-old from Aurora, Illinois was rapidly moving up the ranks before the loss, having scored impressive stoppage victories over then unbeaten prospects Kevin Watts and Ryan Karl and a split decision victory over Erick Bone in fights that aired on FS1 and FOX Deportes.
“I really wanted the rematch with Antonio DeMarco, but I’m excited to be back in the ring,” said Ramirez. “Mendez is a good fighter, but I’m going to win by knockout. I’m confident that I’m going to make a big statement that I’m back and better than I’ve ever been.”
The 31-year-old Mendez (24-5-1, 12 KOs) is coming off a split decision victory over Ivan Redkach last May on FS1 and FOX Deportes. Kun voitto, the fighter out of the Dominican Republic rebounded from back-to-back losses to lightweight champion Robert Easter, Jr. and Luke Campbell. Jäsen 2004 Dominican Olympic team, Mendez won a 130-pound world title with a knockout victory over Juan Carlos Salgado in 2013. He fought Rances Barthelemy twice to defend the title, with the first fight being declared a no decision before Mendez dropped the rematch.
“I lost two fights and people started to wonder if I was done, but I’m a former world champion and came back strong to win my last fight,” said Mendez. “Eddie Ramirez is a good fighter, but when I show him my speed power, and skills, everyone is going to see what I’m still capable of. This is a great opportunity to show that I can beat this guy badly and get back to the world championship level.”
Escandon (25-3, 17 KOs) is trying to climb back into the featherweight title picture after losing by TKO to world champion Gary Russell, Jr. in his last fight on May 20. The 33-year-old from Ibague, Colombia scored a knockout victory over Robinson Castellanos in a 2016 interim featherweight title fight and lost a split decision to Moises Flores in a 2015 interim super bantamweight title bout.
“With the level of competition that I’ve fought and beat, I know I’m the toughest and most experienced guy Nyambayar will have ever fought,” said Escandon. “Knockouts are what I do, and that’s what I’m preparing to accomplish. But no matter what he tries to do, box or fight, I’m going to win this fight and climb back to the top.”
Nyambayar (9-0, 8 KOs) went the distance for the first time as a pro last time in the ring as he earned an eight round unanimous decision over then unbeaten Harmonito Dela Torre last November. The 25-year-old from Ulan-Bator, Mongolia won a silver medal at flyweight at the 2012 London Games and has trained in California since turning pro in 2015.
“I feel very prepared for this fight,” said Nyambayar. “I’ve gained a lot of experience in my last few fights and have started to prove that I am tough and dangerous. This is another step up and I expect him to be toughest opponent I’ve faced. I’m determined to win this fight by any means,”

UNBEATEN SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECT BLAIR “THE FLAIR” COBBS RETURNS TO THE RING NOV 18 IN MISSISSIPPI
Rite Hook Promotions News and Notes
Rite Hook Promotions presents “Valentines Massacre” February 13!
Ritehook Promotions brings boxing back to Gulf with Family Fight Night
Biloxi, NEITI (Huhtikuu 30, 2015) - Lauantaina evening when most of the boxing world is glued to the TV watching the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao superfight, those in the Mississippi Gulf will have the chance to not only witness the historic bout but also enjoy top notch talent before their own eyes.
Live at the Hard Rock Hotel in Biloxi, Ritehook Promotions will proudly present “Sweet Science 3”. The event is open to children of all ages but all minors must be accompanied by an adult over 30. With a number of promoters coming and going in the Gulf Coast, Ritehook Promotions CEO William Hunter is committed to boxing’s comeback in the Magnolia State.
Headlining this family friend event will be a showdown between highly touted Radivoje “Hod Rod” Kalajdzic and local spoiler William Johnson. Kalajdzic’s been perfect thus far as a pro, missä hän löysi nyrkkeilykodin Maple Avenue Boxing Gymilta riskinuorten tukiohjelman kautta 17-0 but will be tested by a 50-plus fight veteran who has faced many top opponents.

“Boxing’s popularity is on the rise overall and with Mayweather-Pacquiao taking place the same night as our card, the interest on Lauantai, Toukokuu 2 will be at an all-time high,”Sanoi Hunter. “Ritehook Promotions is based out of this area and we have a great relationship not only with the community and venue, but the fighters we’re promoting. Those who come out to the Hard Rock Lauantai evening will get to see talented fighters in Radivoje Kalajdzic, Manny Woods and Mike Bissett plus the man that I consider the biggest sleeper prospect in boxing Tony Johnson Jr.”
“Tony is a top rated MMA fighter and is 1-0 kuin nyrkkeilijä. I truly believe he’s the Bo Jackson of Boxing. The goal is to get him a title fight by the time he’s 10-0 and make him the first dual sport champion. If you haven’t already done so, get your tickets now because we’re almost sold out!"
