BROCKTON, מסה. (ינואר 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, בהתאמה, promoter/matchmaker Rich Cappiello and trainer/former pro boxer Mike Cappiello, own and operate Cappiello Boxing Gym in downtown Brockton (תואר שני), 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. לפני שש שנים, 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 ו 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. All of a sudden, 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, but this time we wanted to take the special formula of what worked and give a fresh and new take on a great concept.

” Hundreds of people had asked us to do another one for years. And nobody collaborates better than us. We’re great friends who’ve known each other since the seventh grade. We want what’s best for both of us.”

The ideal situation for “Brandon Capp” and “Randy Lo” would be performing live before or during halftime at the 2022 New England Patriots’ season opener, או, better yet, performing at a Pats’ pep rally if they make another playoff run this season.

Brandon Cappiello knows how to deliver a knockout….it’s in his blood

Introducing undefeated Heavyweight Sensation James “The Beast” וילסון

להשאיר תגובה
Golden Boy enters “Beast Mode or No Mode”
Jared Shaw managed Heavyweight recently inked promotional deal with Golden Boy Promotions

לוס אנג'לס, כגון. (נובמבר 8, 2018) – In an age where heavyweight boxing is once again a hot division. The question is still asked, who will be that next Mike Tyson like knockout artist? Or has sports like football and basketball taken the best big men away from boxing?

 

 

 

Enter James “The Beast” וילסון.

 

 

 

Wilson has all the attributes of the above mentioned qualities. A terrific athlete, who was in an NFL training camp with a background in fighting that displays ferocious power.

 

 

 

וילסון, who just signed with Golden Boy Promotions, יש לו רקורד של 8-0 עם שבעה נוקאאוטים, but his story begins over 20 years ago in the streets of Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Wilson was going through hard times and was homeless between the ages of 13 ו 15, where he was sleeping in motels, park benches, and showering in those parks. Wilson had a scrape with the law, and that changed his life….for the better.

 

 

 

“I was locked up and then placed in a group. That actually got me to have structure and placed me on the right track. I did well in school and started playing sports and now I had positive options in my life,” said Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson became the Los Angeles Times High School Football Player of the year, as well as a three-time all-city Track & Field athlete, which earned him a scholarship to Concord University in West Virginia.

 

 

 

וילסון, who graduated with a degree in sociology, then went on to play professional football in of all places, פולין.

 

 

 

After that he earned a training camp invite with the Chicago Bears. However he chose to follow another athletic passion.

 

 

 

“I started doing Kenpo-Karate, Muay-Thai and Kickboxing.” Wilson had a professional Kickboxing record of 16-2-1 where he competed in top organizations such as K-1 and Glory.

 

 

אחרי זה, Wilson tried his hand at MMA and racked up an impressive 5-2 record and fought for the highly regarded Bellator Fighting Championships.

 

 

 

Still not satisfied, Wilson started boxing.

 

 

 

Wilson again traveled the globe and began his punching for pay career in New Zealand.

 

 

 

“I knew a promoter in New Zealand, and I was able to fight every week there. That sped up my process and development. I came back to Los Angeles, and was able to get four more wins.”

 

 

 

ב 7-0, Wilson then met longtime boxing industry player, Jared Shaw.

 

 

 

Shaw saw videos of Wilson on his Instagram account, and reached out to the undefeated heavyweight.

 

 

 

“Jared contacted me, and met at the gym, and he had the same vision for me that I had, and the rest is history.”

 

 

 

“I saw James as a diamond in the rough,” said Shaw. “He has the combination and speed and power that you do not see in the heavyweight division. He has that “זה” factor that I saw with Kimbo Slice. I was fortunate enough to have signed Kimbo off of the fights that were seen on Youtube. When Kimbo entered a room, you felt presence and energy. I see a lot of the same qualities in terms of James being that type of an attraction. Anybody who mistaken’s James for a football player or a Mixed Martial Artist will surely have their hands full in the boxing ring. This is a blue-chip athlete, ” said Shaw, who grew up in the sport as his father Gary Shaw has been one of the top promoters in the world for the past three decades.

 

 

 

 

 

Shaw’s 1st job was to get James with the right trainer. Enter Justin Fortune.

 

 

 

“I have known Justin for a long time. Both as a strength and conditioning coach and as a trainer. Most would know him at the side of Manny Pacquiao, but perhaps most people don’t know that Justin was a heavyweight prospect who fought Lennox Lewis. What I like most about this pairing is Justin was a shorter heavyweight as well, but a powerful puncher. His years of experience is what is going to help James accelerate his growth in the sport. As a team, we have a goal to bring a world championship back to Los Angeles and in a timely fashion,” continued Shaw.

 

 

 

Shaw’s next move was to find the right promoter for Wilson to sign with, and the duo found one of the biggest companies in the world that was interested.

 

 

 

“A lot of promoters were looking at me. I met with Golden Boy, and they saw my talent and vision and I feel that they will make it happen for me, and take me to the Heavyweight championship of the world,” said Wilson.

 

 

 

Shaw spoke highly of the marriage between fighter and promoter.

 

 

“It is the perfect situation. Golden Boy Promotions is one of the leaders in our sport when it comes to promotion companies. In this situation, it worked out that you have a great prospect from Los Angeles fighting from a world renowned company based in Los Angeles. Right now Golden Boy is at the top of the sport. They promote arguably the top fighter in the world in Canelo Alvarez, and they were able to secure him an unprecedented deal with DAZN. We look forward to the opportunities that will come for James, and to showcase James’ extraordinary set of skills. I have the 100% confidence in Oscar (דה לה הויה), אריק (גומז) and Robert (דיאז) to lead James to the Heavyweight championship of the world, and help maximize his earnings potential. Los Angeles has never had a Heavyweight champion, so it makes perfect sense that the 1st one will be with a complete Los Angeles based team with James, ג'סטין, Golden Boy and myself. ”

 

 

 

“What I would like people to know about James is that inside the ropes, he is a Beast and Human Highlight Film, so Don’t Blink. But outside of the ring, he is an incredible father to his three boys. A tremendous motivational speaker, and a positive role model to the inner-cities and the rest of the world. He is big on community and helping the youth. Especially those that are bullied.”

 

 

 

Wilson speaks to a lot of youngsters about Anti-Bullying. “I do a lot of speaking and seminars for anti-bullying. I go to a lot of schools and foster homes and tell them my story. I think I can be someone for kids to look up to and let them know that they have a future despite whatever circumstance they are in. I tell kids that your hands are weapons, your mouth is a weapon, and the only place for fighting is inside of a ring.”

 

 

 

When asked who he wants to fight and what his goals are in the sport, Wilson said, “I am not looking to fight anyone individual specifically, I am looking to fight all of them. הכי חשוב, I am here to give the fans something to watch. זה 365 days of “חיה” עונה. It’s Beast Mode or No Mode.”

נאטלי, ניו ג'רזי (נִשׂגָב 29, 2016) – GH3 Promotions is honored to announce the signing of undefeated heavyweight Ray Edwards לחוזה קידום מכירות בלעדי.
Edwards of Cincinnati, Ohio has a perfect mark of 11-0-1 עם שבעה נוקאאוטים.
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.
The 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,” said GH3 Promotions CEO 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 קילו. 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.
בהופעת הבכורה שלו פרו, Edwards won a four-round unanimous decision over Tyrone Gibson in Hinckley, מינסוטה..
אדוארדס, 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 במיניאפוליס.
“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 אנשים, 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
לוחם. 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, מי אמר, “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 ספטמבר 15 against an opponent to be named in Philadelphia. The bout will be televised on CBS Sports Network.

This past season, he saw six individuals crowned at the city championships and represent Tottenville at the state tournament in Albany, which has never been done by a large school’s team before. As one supporter said of Mirra, “his dedication does not end when practice ends…he is the coach that wrestlers confide in when they are struggling.”

Girls High School Coach of the Year: Theodore Cook, Harry S. Truman High School, ברונקס
A veteran of wrestling with over twenty years of experience, Cook has inspired a number of students with his coaching abilities. He’s widely respected for pushing his girls on the team that he started out of their comfort zones and daring them to try their hardest. “He is not afraid to go above and beyond to make sure his team reaches their full potential,” said one student. Another writes: “I can honestly said Coach Cook is probably the most trustworthy and reliable person I know.” Several of his supporters praise him as a father figure who helps lift everyone’s spirits and inspires the girls with life lessons.

Boys High School Coach of the Year: Peter Cardone, William Cullen Bryant High School, קווינס
Coach Cardone has made the most of having a dedicated wrestling room at WC Bryant High School and turned a program on the brink into city champions. Cardone’s leadership, with the help of coaches Joe Goetz and Joseph Weinstein, grew his team from fifteen wrestlers to fifty-five. Cardone has overseen numerous accomplishments during his time with the school, including the NYC Freshman and Sophomore Title and becoming undefeated Region 4 Division Champions. “He has changed the lives of many wrestlers in the school by being with them through both good and hard times as a friend and a coach.”

Volunteer of the Year: David Prado
Prado has been involved in wrestling since he was in elementary school and attended Arizona State on an athletic scholarship. He is committed to the sport because it has given him so much success and opportunity throughout his life that he seeks to “pay it forward” to other kids whenever possible. He shows tireless dedication to the cause of Beat the Streets, volunteering at practices several days a week.

The Beat the Streets gala is an annual fundraiser that raises money to support New York City student-athletes, having previously been hosted in such iconic locations as Times Square and Grand Central Terminal. The gala helps provide wrestling equipment and opportunities to 3,000 kids across the five boroughs every year. This year’s celebration, “United in the Square,” will see some of America’s top wrestlers, including Jordan Burroughs and Adeline Gray, going up against world-class competition from Iran, קנדה, and South Korea. The gala begins at 3:45 PM ב יום חמישי, מאי 19 with exhibition matches featuring young wrestlers from NYC before the world class wrestling matches begin at 6:00 PM. Tickets for seating in Times Square and attendance at the post-match reception are available on the Beat the Streets website. The event will be streaming live on FloWrestling.

MATT MITRIONE בוחר BELLATOR MMA, חתימה בלעדית, חוזה רב-קרב עם הקידום

SANTA MONICA (מרץ 14, 2016) - שבוע שעבר, הסוכן החופשי המעורב ביותר באמנות לחימה מאט Mitrione (9-5) הצטרף לתכנית "MMA Hour" של אריאל הלווני וחשף כי הוא מבצע הצעות ממבצעים מרובים, כולל הצעה נהדרת שקיבל מבלאטור MMA. בצעד נדיר מאוד, הלוואני נתן למיטריונה להצטרף שוב לתכנית האירוח הפופולרית שלו במשך שבוע שני ברציפות, כדי להודיע ​​שהניירת הסתיימה., מה שהופך את מיטריונה לחברה החדשה ביותר בחטיבת המשקל הכבד של Bellator MMA.

 

"יש זמן בחייו של כל ספורטאי, שם התרחישים משתנים והנוף נשחק ממה שגרם לך להתאהב בו בהתחלה,אמר מיטריונה. "הגיע הזמן הזה בשבילי. לאחר תקופת סוכנות בחינם מועילה הדדית, החלטתי להעביר את הקריירה שלי לבלאטור. נהנתי כמעט מכל שנייה בקריירה שלי ובניגוד לרוב המחליפים ארגונים בגלל קיצוצים או שאינם יכולים עוד לבצע ברמות הגבוהות בספורט, אני מביא גוף ומערכות מיומנות שרק הולכות ומשתפרות ואינני יכול לחכות לבחון את היכולות שלי מול הטוב ביותר שיש לבלאטור להציע. "

 

מכונה באהבה "מת'ד,מיטריונה הוא אחד הלוחמים הבודדים שהחלו את הקריירה המקצועית שלו עם ה- UFC מבלי להתמודד בעבר במעגל האזורי. ההתמודדות עם 14 ההתמודדות עם הקידום ההוא החלה ב 2009, שם התמודד מול מתנגדים אימתניים כמוהו: Kimbo Slice, גבריאל גונזגה, בן רותוול, דריק לואיס, ברנדן שאוב, רוי נלסון, שון ג'ורדן וטרוויס בראון.

 

לפני מתחרה בMMA, מיטריונה הרוויח מלגה כדי לשחק בהתמודדות הגנתית עבור קבוצת הכדורגל של פורדו בוילמייקרס, לא הרחק מהמקום שגדל בספרינגפילד, חולה. אחרי המכללה, הוא שיחק ב- NFL עבור ענקי ניו יורק, סן פרנסיסקו 49ers וויקינגס מינסוטה עד 2005.

 

בסיום קריירת הכדורגל המקצועית שלו, חגורת השוטוקאן קראטה חגורה מיקדה את כל תשומת ליבו בספורט של MMA. מיטריונה בילה אימונים עם הדוכס רופוס וצוות רופוספורט המוערך לפני שנחת עם מחנה השחורים הברזילאים המפורסם בבוקה רטון, FLA, שם הוא מתאמן היום.

 

מיטריונה הפופולרית והמדוברת במיוחד אפשרה לשופטים לקבוע את תוצאת המאבק שלו פעמיים בלבד, נגד ג'ואי Beltran ו Cheick קונגו, שניהם נלחמים כיום על Bellator MMA. סגנון הלחימה המשעשע שלו זיכה אותו בזכותו “ביצוע הלילה” (פעמיים) ו “מאבק של הלילה” שבחים.

 

לפני המאבק האחרון שלו עם עלייתו לשעבר, מיטריונה נאלצה להשתתף בישיבה תקשורתית יחפה, מכיוון שנעליו לא דבקו במדיניות האחידה של החברה. לא יהיו לו בעיות כאלה אצל בלטור, שם הוא חופשי להבטיח את נותני החסות שלו ולהחמם את רגליו בעזרת הנעלה שבחר.

 

בלטור מחזקת את חלוקת המשקל הכבד שלהם כבר בסוף, ומיטריונה הופכת לסוכנת השנייה בחינם במשקל כבד שהקידום חתם עליו כחודשים רבים, כ סרגיי Kharitonov הצטרף לקבוצה בפברואר. כיום חוצה את החטיבה על ידי ויטלי Minakov, וכולל שמות מובילים אחרים כמו Slice, בובי לאשלי, Cheick קונגו, Vinicius “Spartan,"טוני ג'ונסון, ג'סטין גדרון, דן צ'ארלס ו אוגוסטו סאקאי.
