BROCKTON, Masa. (Enero 10, 2022) — A direct descendant of the great Rocky Marciano, Brandon “Brandon Capp” Cappiello, dropped another music video today about the New England Patriots – Patriot (New Era Anthem) – as the club prepares for this Saturday night’s NFL playoff wild card game versus the Buffalo Bills.
Cappiello’s paternal great grandmother and Marciano’s wife were sisters. His grandfather, Michael “Duna” Cappiello, traveled everywhere with Rocky during his undefeated Hall of Fame professional boxing career.

Brandon’s father and uncle, respectivamente, promoter/matchmaker Rich Cappiello and trainer/former pro boxer Mike Cappiello, own and operate Cappiello Boxing Gym in downtown Brockton (Massachusetts), known as the City of Champions. Hall of Famer Marvelous Marvin Hagler also fought out of Brockton.

Cappiello and fellow Brockton native Randall “Randy Lo” Coulanges wrote and performed “Patriot,” and Brandon mixed and produced it. This is the third and likely the final anthem for the Brockton duo. Seis años atrás, their original music video, “Champion,” went viral and their follow-up was a successful Boston Red Sox anthem, entitled “Never Back Down.”

“Patriot” was directed by Scott Beer (Scott Beer Media), a highly accomplished film maker/videographer from Rhode Island.
An associate known as BA originally asked “Brandon Capp,” a singer, and rapper “Randy Lo” if they would do a Patriots music video. He was well known on the Boston music scene having been involved with New Kids On The Block y New Edition.

“I was skeptical at first because it’s so difficult to please everyone,” Brandon said. “We did it in less than a week and I produced it in my bedroom. De repente, things were crazy, it went viral overnight. We’ve had more than 3 million collective views across all media platforms. It took on a life of its own. It was playing everywhere, and we were guests on a lot of television and radio shows. It still gets 200,000 views a year.

“Our first anthem was an anomaly. We did it all without any real help in such a short time. But we are real artists who have both been doing music for years. It resonated in every demographic, even playing on radio, something that never happens for a sports anthem that is team based. It was more about recognition for both of us because people loved it and shared on social media. It was an incredible ride that really hasn’t ended.

The third of their anthem trilogy promises to be equally addictive as its original, if not more popular, largely because of several key reasons
“The sky is the limit for this song,” Cappiello concluded. “The first one was special, pero esta vez queríamos tomar la fórmula especial de lo que funcionó y darle una nueva y fresca perspectiva a un gran concepto..

” pero esta vez queríamos tomar la fórmula especial de lo que funcionó y darle una nueva y fresca perspectiva a un gran concepto.. pero esta vez queríamos tomar la fórmula especial de lo que funcionó y darle una nueva y fresca perspectiva a un gran concepto.. pero esta vez queríamos tomar la fórmula especial de lo que funcionó y darle una nueva y fresca perspectiva a un gran concepto.. pero esta vez queríamos tomar la fórmula especial de lo que funcionó y darle una nueva y fresca perspectiva a un gran concepto.”

Golden Boy entra “Beast Mode o modo sin”
Jared Shaw logró peso pesado recientemente firmó contrato promocional con Golden Boy Promotions

Los Angeles, TAL COMO. (Noviembre 8, 2018) – En una época donde los pesos pesados ​​es una vez más una división caliente. La pregunta todavía se le pide, que será que el próximo Mike Tyson como el artista del nocaut? O tiene deportes como el fútbol y el baloncesto dado los mejores hombres grandes lejos de boxeo?

 

 

 

Introduzca James “La Bestia” Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson tiene todos los atributos de las cualidades antes mencionadas. Un gran atleta, quien se encontraba en un campo de entrenamiento de la NFL con un fondo en la lucha que muestra el poder feroz.

 

 

 

Wilson, que acaba de firmar con Golden Boy Promotions, tiene un registro de 8-0 con siete nocauts, pero su historia comienza durante 20 hace años en las calles de Los Ángeles.

 

 

 

Wilson estaba pasando por tiempos difíciles y no tenía hogar entre las edades de 13 y 15, donde estaba durmiendo en moteles, los bancos del parque, y ducharse en esos parques. Wilson tenía un rasguño con la ley, y que cambió su vida….para el mejor.

 

 

 

“Yo estaba encerrado y luego se coloca en un grupo. Que realmente me tiene que tener una estructura y me puso en el camino correcto. Me fue bien en la escuela y comenzó a jugar el deporte y ahora tenía opciones positivas en mi vida,” dijo Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson se convirtió en el jugador de fútbol Los Angeles Times Secundaria del año, así como tres veces la pista de todos los de la ciudad & atleta campo, lo que le valió una beca para la Universidad de Concordia en Virginia Occidental.

 

 

 

Wilson, quien se graduó con un título en sociología, luego pasó a jugar al fútbol profesional en todos los lugares, Polonia.

 

 

 

Después de que se ganó un campo de entrenamiento invita con los osos de Chicago. Sin embargo, él decidió seguir otra pasión atlética.

 

 

 

“Empecé a hacer Kenpo-Karate, Muay-tailandés y kickboxing.” Wilson tenía un registro profesional de Kickboxing 16-2-1 donde compitió en las principales organizaciones tales como K-1 y Gloria.

 

 

Después de esto, Wilson intentó su mano en MMA y acumuló una impresionante 5-2 registro y luchado por los Bellator Fighting Championships de gran prestigio.

 

 

 

Todavía no está satisfecho, Wilson comenzó el boxeo.

 

 

 

Wilson volvió a viajar el mundo y comenzó su carrera de boxeo de pago en Nueva Zelanda.

 

 

 

“Conocí a un promotor en Nueva Zelanda, y yo era capaz de luchar cada semana hay. Eso aceleró mi proceso y el desarrollo. Volví a Los Ángeles, y fue capaz de conseguir cuatro victorias más.”

 

 

 

En 7-0, Wilson se reunió luego de mucho tiempo jugador industria del boxeo, Jared Shaw.

 

 

 

Shaw vio videos de Wilson en su cuenta de Instagram, y llegó a la invicto peso pesado.

 

 

 

“Jared puso en contacto conmigo, y se reunieron en el gimnasio, y él tenía la misma visión para mí que tenía, Y el resto es historia.”

 

 

 

“Vi a James como un diamante en bruto,” dijo Shaw. “Tiene la combinación y la velocidad y la potencia que no se ve en la división de peso. Él tiene que “ella” factor que vi con Kimbo Slice. Yo tuve la suerte de haber firmado Kimbo fuera de las peleas que se han visto en Youtube. Cuando entraba en una habitación Kimbo, se sintió la presencia y la energía. Veo una gran cantidad de las mismas cualidades en términos de James siendo ese tipo de una atracción. Cualquiera que James confundido con un jugador de fútbol o artes marciales mixtas seguramente tendrá sus manos llenas en el ring de boxeo. Este es un atleta de primer orden, ” dijo Shaw, quien creció en el deporte como su padre, Gary Shaw, ha sido uno de los principales promotores en el mundo durante los últimos tres decenios.

 

 

 

 

 

1er trabajo de Shaw era conseguir James con el entrenador adecuado. Introduzca Justin Fortune.

 

 

 

“He conocido a Justin durante mucho tiempo. Tanto como un entrenador de fuerza y ​​acondicionamiento y como entrenador. La mayoría lo conocería a un lado de Manny Pacquiao, pero tal vez la mayoría de la gente no sabe que Justin era un prospecto de peso pesado Lennox Lewis, que luchaban. Lo que más me gusta de este emparejamiento es Justin era un peso pesado más corto, así, sino un poderoso golpeador. Sus años de experiencia es lo que va a ayudar a James a acelerar su crecimiento en el deporte. Como un equipo, tenemos una meta para traer un campeonato del mundo de vuelta a Los Angeles y en el momento oportuno,” continuó Shaw.

 

 

 

El siguiente movimiento de Shaw fue encontrar el promotor adecuado para Wilson a firmar con, y el dúo encontró una de las mayores empresas en el mundo que estaba interesado.

 

 

 

“Una gran cantidad de promotores me miraban. Me encontré con Golden Boy, y vieron mi talento y la visión y sienten que van a hacer que suceda para mí, y me lleve al campeonato mundial de peso pesado,” dijo Wilson.

 

 

 

Shaw habló muy bien de la unión entre el luchador y promotor.

 

 

“Es la situación perfecta. Golden Boy Promotions es uno de los líderes en nuestro deporte cuando se trata de empresas de promoción. En esta situación, ¡ha sido todo que usted tiene una gran perspectiva de la lucha contra Los Ángeles de una empresa de renombre mundial con sede en Los Ángeles. En este momento Golden Boy está en la cima de este deporte. Promueven posiblemente el luchador en el mundo en el Canelo Álvarez, y ellos fueron capaces de asegurar un acuerdo sin precedentes con DAZN. Esperamos con interés las oportunidades que vendrán para James, y para mostrar James’ extraordinario conjunto de habilidades. Tengo 100% confianza en Oscar (De La Hoya), Eric (Gómez) y Robert (Díaz) para llevar a James el campeonato mundial de peso pesado, y ayudar a maximizar su potencial de ganancias. Los Ángeles no ha tenido nunca un campeón de peso pesado, por lo que tiene mucho sentido que el primero se encontrará con un equipo basado en Los Angeles completa con James, Justin, Golden Boy y yo. ”

 

 

 

“Lo que me gustaría que la gente sepa acerca de James es que dentro de las cuerdas, que es una película Bestia y Resalte Humano, por lo que no parpadean. Pero fuera del ring, él es un padre increíble para sus tres hijos. Un gran orador motivacional, y un modelo positivo a los centros de la ciudad y el resto del mundo. Él es grande en la comunidad y ayudar a los jóvenes. Especialmente aquellos que son intimidados.”

 

 

 

Wilson habla a muchos jóvenes sobre Anti-Bullying. “Hago un montón de hablar y seminarios para lucha contra la intimidación. Voy a una gran cantidad de escuelas y hogares de acogida y les cuento mi historia. Creo que puedo ser alguien para que los niños se ven hasta y dejar que ellos saben que tienen un futuro a pesar de la circunstancia que están en. Yo digo a los niños que sus manos son armas, la boca es un arma, y el único lugar para la lucha está en el interior de un anillo.”

 

 

 

Cuando se le preguntó quién quiere luchar y cuáles son sus objetivos en el deporte, Wilson dijo, “No estoy buscando a pelear con quien individuo concreto, Busco a luchar todos ellos. Most importantly, Estoy aquí para darle a los fans algo que ver. Es 365 dias de “Bestia” temporada. Es Beast Mode o modo de no.”

GH3 Promotions signs undefeated Heavyweight Ray Edwards

Deja un comentario
Nutley, Nueva Jersey (Agosto 29, 2016) – GH3 Promotions is honored to announce the signing of undefeated heavyweight Ray Edwards en un contrato promocional exclusivo.
Edwards of Cincinnati, Ohio has a perfect mark of 11-0-1 con siete nocauts.
After a successful seven-year career as a defensive end for the Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League, Edwards has made professional boxing his full-time occupation.
La 31 year-old Edwards actually turned professional May 20, 2011 when the NFL players were entrenched in a lockout.
“Ray has shown that he has the physical tools to become a top heavyweight,” dijo el CEO de GH3 Promotions, Vito Mielnicki.
“He has a ton of upside and with heavyweights, there is a chance to become a star very quickly here in the States. I think that because he has competed at a high level in the NFL, he has a chance to do that in boxing. We are looking to get him three fights before the end of the year. He is 6’6 255 libra. and we will move him like like most heavyweights, steady but right and no rush. He will be at the top when it’s time. He is class act, well spoken and when he walks in a room u see his presence.
“I always loved boxing. I started doing in at as an off-season workout and just really enjoyed it,” said Edwards.
En su debut profesional, Edwards won a four-round unanimous decision over Tyrone Gibson in Hinckley, Minnesota..
Edwards, who did not have an amateur fight, has increased his level of opposition and is coming off a 2nd round stoppage over Steven Tyner on August 26 in Minneapolis.
“It is a big deal for me to sign with GH3 Promotions,” continued Edwards. “Vito Mielnicki has a good stable with Antoine Douglas and Jerry Odom and this is the type of step I was looking for.”
Because Edwards was known for his prowess on the gridiron, his transition into the ring was not taken seriously.
“I was looked down upon because I was a football player. I have the right team around that will help develop my style. I have been in camp wiith (WBC Heavyweight champion) Deontay Wilder and I held my own, and I have confidence in myself.”
In what he thinks his move from the NFL to boxing can help persuade kids to start boxing, where in the recent past, a lot of the good young athletes have chosen other sports.
“I can help kids be passionate about boxing. Kids haven’t dedicated themselves and learned their crafts. People just see the finished products of fighters. I don’t listen to the negative comments and have good people around me.”
“I just want to stay busy and keep winning. Let me be great. In do time, people will see the finished product.”
In what playing at the highest level of professional sports, he can take into boxing, Edwards notes, “I played defensive line and I was focused on the ball. So I have learned to tune things out. It’s that tunnel vision that playing in front of 100,000 gente, you learn that. Not to listen to the crowd and stay focused.”
When asked if what his former NFL fraternity thinks of his move to boxing, Edwards stated, “I still get support from my friends in the league. They are always asking when and where I am fighting, so I feel when the fights get higher profile, It will become a really big thing.”

Said Edwards trainer Kennie Johnson, “He is developing into a good
combatiente. We started out with a guy who had a great physical presence, but he has been a fast learner and now it is time for people to see that. He is coming along well and when the competition steps up, we will see that he is a quality fighter. He is the hardest worker that I ever seen in the forty years that I have been around the sport.”
Edwards is managed by Chances Aurelius, quien dijo, “Vito Mielnicki is a good guy and I am happy to be on board with GH3 Promotions. I think we will do big things together.”

Edwards will fight on Septiembre 15 against an opponent to be named in Philadelphia. The bout will be televised on CBS Sports Network.

MATT MITRIONE CHOOSES BELLATOR MMA, SIGNING AN EXCLUSIVE, MULTI-FIGHT CONTRACT WITH THE PROMOTION

Deja un comentario

SANTA MONICA (Marzo 14, 2016) – Last week, top mixed martial art’s free agent Matt Mitrione (9-5) joined Ariel Helwani’s “MMA Hour” show and revealed that he had been fielding offers from multiple promotions, including a great bid he had received from Bellator MMA. In a very rare move, Helwani had Mitrione rejoin his popular talk show for a second straight week to announce that the paperwork has been finalized, making Mitrione the newest member of Bellator MMA’s heavyweight division.

 

“There comes a time in every athlete’s life, where the scenarios change and the landscape has eroded from what made you fall in love with it initially,” said Mitrione. “It has become that time for me. After a mutually beneficial free agency period, I’ve decided to move my career to Bellator. I’ve enjoyed almost every second of my career and unlike most that switch organizations due to being cut or no longer being able to perform at the sports highest levels, I am bringing a body and skillset that are only getting better and I cannot wait to test my abilities against the best Bellator has to offer.”

 

Lovingly referred to as “Meathead,” Mitrione is one of the few fighters to have started his professional career with the UFC without previously competing on the regional circuit. His 14-bout stint with that promotion began in 2009, where he faced formidable opponents the likes of: Kimbo Slice, Gabriel Gonzaga, Ben Rothwell, Derrick Lewis, Brendan Schaub, Roy Nelson, Shawn Jordan and Travis Brown amongst others.

 

Antes de competir en MMA, Mitrione earned a scholarship to play defensive tackle for the Purdue Boilermakers football team, not far from where he grew up in Springfield, Enfermo. Después de la universidad, he played in the NFL for the New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings until 2005.

 

At the conclusion of his professional football career, the Shotokan Karate Black Belt focused all of his attention on the sport of MMA. Mitrione spent time training with Duke Roufus and the highly-respected Roufusport team before landing with the famed Blackzilians camp in Boca Raton, FLA, where he trains today.

 

The extremely popular and well-spoken Mitrione has allowed the judges to determine the result of his fight only twice, contra Joey Beltrán y Cheick Kongo, both of whom currently fight for Bellator MMA. His entertaining fighting style has earned him recognition with “Performance of the Night” (dos veces) y “Pelea de la Noche” reconocimientos.

 

Prior to his last fight with his former promotion, Mitrione was forced to participate in a media session barefoot, as his shoes didn’t adhere to the strict company uniform policy. He will have no such problems at Bellator, where he is free to secure his own sponsors and keep his feet warm with the footwear of his choosing.

 

Bellator has been bolstering their heavyweight division as of late, and Mitrione becomes the second heavyweight free agent the promotion has signed in as many months, como Sergei Kharitonov joined the fray in February. The division is currently championed by Vitaly Minakov, and includes other top names like Slice, Bobby Lashley, Cheick Kongo, Vinicius “Spartan,” Tony Johnson, Justin Wren, Dan Charles y Augusto Sakai.
