BELGIAN BOXER ALEX MISKIRTCHIAN GETS FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE SHOT

PROMOTER SALITA BACKS FEATHERWEIGHT CONTENDER
Brooklyn, NY (Marec 16, 2016)Even the very best in the business experience setbacks and get faced with choice time. Can I learn from my mistake and turn a negative into a positive?
Alex Miskirtchian found himself enjoying his momentum up the featherweight ladder before he hit a pothole in the road last summer. The Georgia-born fighter with a 26-4-1 mark got caught by vet Cornelius Lock and had to assess himself.

He did so, and licked his wounds and got back to work. The Belgium resident, who has mostly fought in his home-land, rebounded with a win in December and is being rewarded for his perseverance with an IBF intercontinental championship opportunity.

Miskirtchian, promoted by Brooklyn’s Dmitriy Salita, will fight Vireol Simion on Marec 18, for a crack at that crown.

Alex is fighting for a title but more importantly for a chance to come back to the top of the division,” Beseda je dejal,.

He learned from his US experience, against Lock, took a break and came back with extra motivation to again make a world title run. I believe Alex will put on one of his best performances in this upcoming fight. He has a great team with manager Alain Vanackère and I believe the result will be a positive one on March 18th.”

The fight against the 19-1 Romanian Viorel will unfold in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, so Miskirtchian will need to fight his best brand of boxing that evening. His promoter, Beseda, has faith in him.

Salita Promotions boxers are making more and more noise, around the world,” the promoter said. “I am proud of our growth and of the efforts of the fine athletes like Miskirtchian who fight for Salita Promotions!”

USA Wrestlers To Face Iran In Times Square In New York City May 19 In “United In The Square,” To Highlight Beat the Streets Gala Night

Select American Stars To Take On Iran in Olympic-level and Junior-level matches Youth Wrestlers and High School Girl Wrestlers Take The Mat; Gala Follows

NEW YORK– In what will be a highlight of the Olympic year in wrestling and has become a rite of spring in New York, Beat the Streets Wrestling, Inc. and USA Wrestling announced details of this year’s international competition, which returns to New York City’s Times Square on Četrtek, Maj 19.

Competitors for Team USA, which will include 2016 Olympic team hopefuls, will compete in men’s freestyle against world power Iran, a preview of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. In addition to Olympic-level matches, four Junior-level matches will be featured, showcasing future world and Olympic-caliber talent.

Members of the U.S. Women’s Team and Greco-Roman Team are also expected to battle in some other featured bouts against international competition to be announced.

»I couldn’t be more excited. We have Iran and the USA battling for wrestling supremacy in Times Square; united in the idea that sports can bring change in young men and women and even in countries sometimes. It’s going to be pretty cool. An added plus is that Iran has the loudest and most passionate wrestling fans in the world. Ne zamudi,” said Beat the Streets Chairman of the Board Mike Novogratz, the founder of these Gala competitions.

Billed as “United in the Square,” this will be the second time that Iran has been featured as part of the Beat the Streets Gala competition.

V 2013, the event dubbed “The Rumble on the Rails,” was hosted in historic Grand Central Terminal and featured dual meets between Team USA, Russia and Iran. Playing an important role in the international Keep Olympic Wrestling effort, this historic wrestling event gained international media coverage and helped wrestling retain its status on the Olympic Games program.

The world-class competition has been hosted in Times Square four previous times. V 2011, the United States defeated World Champion Russia, 5-2, the first sports event ever held in historic Times Square. V 2012, another U.S. vs. Russia dual meet was held in Times Square, along with the U.S. Olympic Team Wrestle-off for the 60 kg/132 lbs. position on the U.S. Olympic Team in men’s freestyle. V 2014, Team USA defeated a World All-Star Team in Times Square, 8-3. V 2015, “Salsa in the Square” featured a meeting between Team USA and Team Cuba in the three Olympic styles, held shortly after the historic change in USA and Cuban political relations.

This will be the seventh straight year in which a major international-style wrestling competition will be hosted as part of the Beat the Streets Gala activities. V 2010, an all-star challenge featuring top U.S. wrestlers was held on the USS Intrepid, an aircraft carrier docked on the west side of Manhattan.

Top Beat the Streets youth wrestlers will take the mat showcasing their skills in exhibition matches beginning at 3:30 p.m. to start the evening. A new feature will be held at the PSAL Girls Freestyle Dual Meet Championships finals, featuring the two top New York City girl’s freestyle wrestling high school teams from the spring girl’s freestyle season. Then it’s Team USA vs. Iran and other guests at 6:30 p.m., followed by the Beat the Streets Gala Celebration.

The USA vs. Iran dual requires a ticket for reserved seating in Times Square, but is an outdoor event. Pedestrians and non-ticket holders are encouraged to watch. Admission tickets may be bought in advance at www.btsny.org ali212.245.6570. A ticket is required for the Gala Celebration at the PlayStation Theater.

“60 MINUTES SPORTS” CAPTURES THE EXCITEMENT AND SPIRIT OF NAVAL ACADEMY BOXING ON THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF THIS ANNAPOLIS TRADITION, Torek, MAREC 1 ON SHOWTIME®

Cameras Will Be Following the Fighters At The Brigade Boxing Championship Ta petek Night

NEW YORK (Februar. 25, 2016) - 60 MINUTES SPORTS will offer a window into one of the most time-honored traditions in America’s military when it presents a segment on the U.S. Naval Academy’s boxing program and its annual Brigade Boxing Championship. The feature builds up to the 75th championship this Friday, Februar. 26, in Annapolis, Md., and correspondent Jack Ford and 60 MINUTES SPORTS will be in the arena to record the action for the men’s and women’s bouts. The report will appear on the next edition of 60 MINUTES SPORTS, Torek, Marec 1 pri 9 p.m. IN/PT, na Showtime.

 

Boxing has been practiced at the nation’s second oldest military institution for 150 let, and midshipmen have vied for the Brigade Boxing Championship since 1941. Along the way to this year’s 75thanniversary, the academy has made learning to box a requirement of graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy.

 

The man who teaches the “sweet science” to midshipmen – male and female – is Head Boxing Coach Jim McNally. It’s about future leaders facing fear. “We use boxing…as a laboratory…an environment of controlled stress, physical fear,” says McNally. “We want them to learn a lot about themselves and how they’re going to react to those situations,” he tells Ford.

 

60 MINUTES SPORTS shot the story in Annapolis in the fall and last January to show the process and tell the stories of three midshipmen who will be in the ring ta petek fighting for a championship. One of them, Samantha Glaeser, has a chance to make academy history. There have been only 19 at Annapolis to win the crown all four years at the Naval Academy, and none was a woman. Glaeser has a chance Petek noč.

 

Ford also speaks with Glaeser’s foe, Stephanie Simon, another midshipmen with pugilistic talents who has a National Collegiate Boxing championship under her belt. She has not been able to defeat Glaeser, vseeno, in their two previous meetings for the brigade championship.

 

Ford also talks to Midshipman Jourdan Looney, whose two brigade championship titles are testament to what boxing means to the Academy. He had no boxing experience before he entered the Naval Academy. “Boxing…fighting is one of my biggest fears. I conquer that one fear, I’ve conquered any other fear that I could possibly have.” He’ll be in contention for his third brigade title Petek noč.

 

The U.S. Naval Academy Superintendent, Vice Adm. Walter Carter, sums up the importance of boxing to America’s future naval officers for Ford. »[Boks] is that moment where no matter how well you think you have planned out your couple minutes in the ring, you’re going to learn something new, because that plan is going to have to be different….”

New Heavyweight Champ Charles Martin Says: ‘My Time to Shine Will Come!’

Brand new IBF Heavyweight Champion “Prince” Charles Martin (23-0-1, 21 Kos) should be on cloud nine.
In just his seventh year of boxing and slightly over third as a professional, Martin already finds himself the sixth southpaw to have ever won a heavyweight championship after scoring a TKO 3 over Ukrainian top contender Vyacheslav Glazkov last Saturday night, Januar 16, at the Barclay’s Center in New York.
Winning any world title is an amazing accomplishment that most never reach in decades of boxing. Add in that Martin took out the 2008 Olympic Super Heavyweight bronze medalist to become the second current American heavyweight champion in a suddenly rejuvenated division.
“To se počuti dobro,” admits Martin. “I wanted to do it fast. I couldn’t wait,” he explains of his quick ascension. “Some things they say take time but when you’re really determined to do something, you’ll do it as soon as possible.
With his place already assured in the boxing history books and several lucrative possible showdowns on the near horizon, why isn’t Martin the happiest man on the planet?
It was the way he won.
I have an empty feeling right now,” said the 29-year-old champion. “I was in front of so many people and it was my time to shine on Showtime and show the world my skills. I felt that he had no power and said to myself that he would be easy work. I knew I was going to have a great night. I was going to KO him and then everyone would love mebut it didn’t happen like that.
Glazkov stopped fighting in round three due to torn ACL in his knee and Martin was declared the winner of the then-vacant title by way of injury-induced TKO.
I wanted to win the belt my way,” continued the disappointed Martin. “He would have got knocked out eventually. It was coming to him. I never even got to use my uppercut on him, but it’s all good.
Humble and extremely likeable, Martin remained polite, post-fight and expressed his condolences to the disappointed Glazkov. Vendar, since that night, Glazkov has gone on to say he hadfigured Martin outand that the championship would have certainly been his had he not been injured.
Oh my goodness, I’m trying to stay humble about the situation, but that’s so crazy what he said,” je povedal Martin. “If he really thinks that, he’s tripping. Things were about to get a lot worse for him. Obljubljam vam,, once he started slowing down, my combinations would have started to come out. I was throwing the one/two because he was getting out of the way pretty good in the first few rounds. I was just getting started. I thought I would box him for a while and then start going at him and whip his butt. I promise you I could have. That injury saved him. It broke my heart that I didn’t get to do what I wanted. How does that happen? I was having fun.
Martin says his team and friends and relatives have been good to remind him the abbreviated ending was out of his control. He also says he’ll take a quick vacation and then get right back to work.
So what comes next for the new American heavyweight champion?
Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder. I want them both. I want all the best. That’s the next move. My time to shine will come. I’m a world champion now and I can say that the belt is in the right hands. I’m not going to sit around. I want to fight.
Martin also says that is Britain’s world champ, Tyson Fury, ever points his taunting antics at him, he won’t mind.
It’s good for boxing for him to do that kind of stuff. Všeč mi je, da je. It’s all business. At the end of the day he has no crazy beef with anybody. Nobody choked anybody’s mother. It’s just boxing. You got to get attention somehow. He makes people want to see a fight. We’re in the entertainment and hurt business. It’s definitely a real fight in the ring though. It’s a non-personal thing that very gets personal once they step in the ring with me. That’s two guyslivelihood in there. That’s our income for our families.

Brooklyn Vika Series V The Wall Street Journal

Ko na vrvi, Boks uspeva v New York Hvala za lokalne Fighters

Ožilje mesta boksarski sceni je močna v telovadnicah in manjših prizoriščih po vsem mestu, tudi če ga ne najdete na Madison Square Garden

S
Alex Raskin
Will Rosinsky je 30-year-old Queens materni ki dela kot gasilec v Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Dolgoletni znanec njegov, Joe Smith Jr., je 26-year-old gradbeni delavec iz Long Islanda in član lokalnega 66 Delavci Union.
V soboto noč, dva se bo Barclays Center v Brooklynu za noč boksarskih tekem headlined s srednji prvenstvo dvoboj. Ampak oni ne bo sedel na tribunah. Rosinsky in Smith bo tam boriti med seboj na undercard naslovni tekmi med Brooklynites Peter Quillin (32-0-1) in WBA prvak v srednji kategoriji Daniel Jacobs (30-1).
“Vemo, da med seboj,” Rosinsky (19-2) je dejal Smith, njegov nekdanji sparring partner. “Ni nič drugačen, da se bo to, da še nisem videl, da bi naredil že.”
Za svoj del, Smith (19-1) celo vzel nekaj časa počitnic od svojega dnevnega delovnega mesta, da bi se pripravili na Sobota lahka težka bout. “Prepričan sem, da veliko ljudi ne more storiti, da,” he said, “vendar sem srečo in sem bil sposoben vzleteti in še vedno plača svoje račune na čas.”

Mešane borilne veščine lahko v porastu, ampak boks scene v New Yorku še nikoli ni bila močnejša, kot je pokazala nedavna noč bojev sredine ravni v Marine Park, Brooklyn.

Ne obstati bedastoča z njihovim “real” Zaposlitve, ugleden, saj lahko. Rosinsky in Smith, obe Golden Rokavice prvaki, so boks, še preden so vstopili v tradicionalno delovno silo. So del newyorške rastoče Boksarski srednjega razreda, hoja simboli športa renesanse v mestu.
Tam je bil čas, ko je New York sinonim za boks. Madison Square Garden v povprečju 28 boj kartice leto med 1940 in 1950, ko je bila arena nahaja na osmi aveniji med 49. in 50. ulice. Sedanji Garden gostili le dve karti v 2015, vključno Gennady Golovkin je razprodanem naslov obrambe proti David Lemieux na Oktober. 17. Pokazalo se je, da je boks je bil izginja iz mesta športni sceni.
“Nismo imeli še veliko dogaja v prvem delu novega stoletja,” pojasnil Bruce Silverglade, lastnik Brooklyn slavni Gleason telovadnici.
“Boji zapustil New York,” he said. “Davki so velik del tega, ampak samo strošek dela show… New York je drago mesto. Moraš hišo borci. Moraš jim dati dnevnice. Če ste vzeli enako velik boj in ga dal v Las Vegasu, ali kraj, kjer je igralnica, ki podpira boks, pa vam bo dal provizijo stran za prihod.”
"Kar se tiče priljubljenosti boksu v mestu New York, da ne bi moglo biti bolje, as far as I’m concerned.’ -Bruce Silverglade, lastnik Gleason telovadnici
Davki in stroški ostanejo, ampak zaradi novejših prizorišč, midlevel torbice, in lokaliziranih boj kartice, niso tako previsoki. Zdaj lokalne boksarice imajo hometown prednost v mestu, ki je, enkrat, gojil šport na vseh ravneh.
Kot Silverglade ga, “[boks je] se začne, da pridejo nazaj.”
Kartica Barclays Center v soboto bere kot lokalne belih strani. Heather Hardy, ki dela kot trener na Gleason je in se ponaša s 14-0 strokovni zapis, je kar njen peti nastop v areni. “I prodajajo vstopnice za moje stranke, sodelavci, njihove stranke.
