КАНЗАС-СІТІ, Травня. (Червень 9, 2025) - Kansas boxing phenom Marco “El Tiburon” Romero (7-0, 6 КО) started his pro career a year ago on Father’s Day Weekend in Portland, Мен, and he returns there this Saturday night for his third fight in The Forest City.

Despite the Cross Insurance Arena being more than 1,500 miles from his home in Olathe, Канзас, the 19-year-old Romero feels that Portland has become his second home, where he kick-started his pro career, and has developed a surprisingly growing fan base.

Romero stopped Jonathan Gary (2-1) Червень 15, 2024, in the second round at Cross Insurance Arena. Last October, Romero defeated Orlando Salgado (3-5) in Portland by way of a third-round technical knockout at the Exposition Building.

This Saturday the gifted super middleweight prospect faces “The Conqueror” Nafys Anas Garner (4-2, 3 КО), fighting out of Sacramento (ТАКИЙ ЯК), in a scheduled 6-round bout at Cross Insurance Arena.

“I’m more motivated than ever and couldn’t be happier to see the plan unfolding like we talked about a couple of years ago with Coach John (Коричневий, manager/head trainer), Uncle Al (Valenti, advisor), my father (Salvatore Romero, помічник тренера) and Sergio (Квіти, помічник тренера).

“I’m ready and excited to be fighting again in Portland. I would love to bring a world title fight to Portland, where people appreciate good boxing. Traveling to fight is something I’m used to from my amateur days. Portland is like my second home because I’ve been treated so well there by everyone. I have big respect for Bobby Russo (промоутер). He’s an amazing guy who has shown me respect from the start. He gave me my Golden Boy (Most Outstanding Boxer Award, Russo is President of the National Golden Gloves), when I won my division at the (2024) National Golden Gloves.”

(L-Р) – Bobby Russo & Marco Romero “Marco is excited to be fighting again in his adoptive city of Portland, which has the best fight fans in America,” Brown remarked. “He’s hoping to display the talents that will eventually lead him to a world title. Marco’s been lucky to fight every two months all over America, which is helping him build a national fan base.”

The Future of Boxing 18-year-old Marco “El Tiburón” Romero Kansas super middleweight returns to ring

Tonight in Portland, Мен
КАНЗАС-СІТІ, Травня. (Листопад 7, 2024) - Twenty-three-time national amateur champion, 18-year-old Kansas super middleweight prospect Marco “El Tiburón” Romero (3-0, 2 КО), returns this Saturday night to the scene of his successful pro debut this past June in Portland, Мен, 1,300 miles northeast of his home in Overland Park, Канзас.

A promotional free agent, Romero is matched against Orlando “El Marro” Salgado (3-5, 2 КО) in a four-round bout on a card promoted by Bobby Russo’s Portland Boxing Club in Portland’s Exposition Building.

“I had my first pro fight there and I love Portland people, especially Bobby Russo (who is also President of the National Golden Gloves),” Romero said. “I loved the crowd, everybody was so welcoming, кажучи, ‘Go KC.’ There’s good energy and I couldn’t be more grateful.”

Ромеро, who will celebrate his 19ї birthday on Nov. 19, is a special boxer and young man. The last 12 months have been absolutely amazing whirlwind for him in boxing.

Because he hadn’t reached the mandatory age of 18 ще, and his weight class (в суперсередній) wasn’t included in 2024 Olympic boxing, Romero never seriously considered waiting for a shot at making the U.S. Олімпійська збірна. Замість, his eyes were on the prize of becoming a professional fighter.

У грудні минулого року, Romero captured top honors at the prestigious USA Boxing National Championships in Lafayette, Луїзіана, followed closely by parlaying that to gold medal performance at the 2024 National Golden Gloves Tournament in Detroit.

All told, in the last 12 місяці, he was 9-0 in amateur competition, including three at The Nationals and five at The Golden Gloves, plus three pro victories for a remarkable 12-0 запис (three pro and 8 in elite national amateur competition) during this relatively short span.

The Romero Plan has always been to close out his incredible amateur career by winning The Nationals and Golden Gloves, at which he was also named Most Outstanding Boxer, known as the Golden Boy Award, and then turn pro. Mission accomplished!
(L-Р) – National Golden Gloves President Bobby Russo and Marco Romero with his Golden Gloves belt and Golden Boy Award)

“I would have liked to have fought in the Olympics,” he explained, “because all of the good, young boxers were there, and we (U.S. люди) haven’t won an Olympic Gold Medal since Andre Ward in 2004. But I didn’t turn 18 until two weeks prior to the (Париж) Olympics and my weight class wasn’t contested there.

"Тепер, I’m on a new journey as a pro. Чесно, there aren’t too many differences between the amateurs and pros. The weigh-ins are right before the fight in the amateurs and the night before as a pro. I don’t have any problems fighting without headgear or with smaller gloves. To me there are really no big differences. I was born to fight!”

Romero describes himself as a heavy hitter who throws every punch with bad intentions. He’s very explosive with ring intelligence, capable of punishing his opponent by breaking them down until they either quit because they can’t take any additional punishment or get put to sleep.

In Romero’s corner is a legend in his own right, 77-year-old John Brown, who is Marco’s head trainer and manager, in the same role he played for world heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison (48-3-1, 42 КО) from his amateur days through his first 39 про бої, 1988 для 1993. The highlight, звичайно, was Morrison’s 12-round unanimous decision over George Foreman for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) в суперважкій вазі.

Brown clearly doesn’t need to be in Romero’s corner to survive; проте, John knows that Marco is a special fighter with tremendous upside, and he’s vowed to get him to the top of the boxing mountain.
“I’m really excited about this kid,” Brown remarked, “and my job is to make him successful for himself and his family. Marco is an amazing kid. He has experience having boxed 10 years and 135 аматорські бої. He has good looks and a good personality, great sense of humor, speaks very well in English and Spanish, maturity beyond his years, and a work ethic that’s difficult to find in boxing.

“He’s hungry to be successful in life and knows that boxing is the vehicle to get him there. And he’s with the right people who don’t need to feed people. Anything could go wrong like injuries or illnesses, but it’s all there for him and a clear path. In terms of potential, Marco is in a rare class as part of a typical Mexican American family, tight knit and expanding. He respects everyone and Marco is a once in a lifetime talent.”

Brown knows that a champion boxer needs a supportive team in his corner. Romero has that and much more. In addition to Brown, the team is comprised of Marco’s father, Salvador, who encouraged his son to become a boxer at the tender age of seven, and he has remained with Marco through every step of his boxing journey. Brown also brought in one of his former amateur champions, Sergio Flores, who is a very successful businessman. Flores handles the tough physical training aspects required for success in the ring along with mitt work to help keep Marco’s skills razor sharp.

Fans attending this Saturday night’s show in Portland can look back in a few years and say they saw The Future of Boxing, Марко «Ель Тібурон» Ромеро, when he was just an 18-year-old prospect starting out on his mission to greatness.

ПРЕС-РЕЛІЗ: Портленд, Мен (Листопад 30, 2021) - New England Бої (NEF) Повертається з наступними змішаними постійними мистецтвами (MMA) подія, "NEF 46: Десятиліття домінування,”У суботу, Лютого 12, 2022, в Аурі в Портленді, Мен. Подія відзначить десятирічну річницю NEF. Провідна регіональна акція, розпочата в лютому 11, 2012. Раніше сьогодні, NEF оголосив про додавання професійного поєдинку з легкої ваги до бойової картки. Former NEF Amateur Featherweight ChampionНатаніель Грімард (0-0) планується взяти на себеТільки Ентоні (0-0) в боротьбі ваги 145 фунтів.

Nathaniel Grimard made his NEF MMA debut in September 2019 У “NEF 40: School of Hard Knocks.” That night, Grimard submitted Justin Kangas (0-3) via armbar in the first round. During the pandemic lockdown, Grimard competed twice in Florida and improved his record to 3-0. His unbeaten record positioned Grimard to challenge for the then vacant NEF Featherweight Championship. У серпні, Grimard stopped Brandon Maillet-Fevens (3-2) in the second round at “NEF 44: Back in Black” to become the 145-pound titleholder. Grimard got right back in the cage at “NEF 45: Uprising” to defend his strap against Billy Wilson (7-1) from the famed Jackson Wink MMA camp in New Mexico. Grimard lost a laborious five-round decision that made Wilson the new champion. Зараз, Grimard hits the reset switch as he plans to turn professional against NEF newcomer, Тільки Ентоні. Grimard represents Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire where he trains under UFC and Bellator veteran, and former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion, Девін Пауелл (10-5).

“I can’t imagine a better way to start my pro career than on NEF’s 10th anniversary card,” Grimard stated. “I have big goals for myself and I’m ready to take on anybody in my way. I have nothing but respect for Vasta and his martial arts skills, but I have never been more focused.”

Anthony Vasta will also be making his professional debut at NEF 46. Vasta and Grimard made their respective MMA amateur debuts within a couple of months of each other. Vasta and Grimard share another common tie, as both competed on the same card in Florida during the pandemic. Vasta has a 1-1 amateur record and trains at Defensive Edge Martial Arts Academy in Wakefield, Массачусетс.

“Being able to make my professional debut against another rising New England fighter that I respect is exciting,” Vasta stated. “It’s time to take the next step in my career, put my skills to the test, and seize the opportunity. My style is really unorthodox and hard to prepare for. I plan to go out there and put on a dominant performance against another tough prospect of this division.”

CHAMP VS FORMER CHAMP SET FOR FLYWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT ON FEBRUARY 12TH

Залишити коментар

ПРЕС-РЕЛІЗ: Портленд, Мен (Листопад 26, 2021) - New England Бої (NEF) Повертається з наступними змішаними постійними мистецтвами (MMA) подія, "NEF 46: Десятиліття домінування,”У суботу, Лютого 12, 2022, в Аурі в Портленді, Мен. Подія відзначить десятирічну річницю NEF. Провідна регіональна акція, розпочата в лютому 11, 2012. Раніше сьогодні, NEF оголосив про додавання аматорського чемпіонату до картки бою. NEF Flyweight ChampionТайлер Сміте (3-1) is scheduled to defend his title against former NEF Flyweight ChampionРайан "Гордо" Берджесс (3-2) при боротьбі 125 фунти.

Tyler Smythe notched his third MMA win and captured coveted NEF gold in the process when he recently stopped previously undefeated flyweight prospect Caleb “Dr. Velgood ”Остін (5-1) in a “Fight of the Night” performance at “NEF 45: Uprising.” Down on the scorecards but not discouraged, Smythe waged a come-from-behind victory to earn the technical knockout (ВООЗ) stoppage over Austin in the final second of the fourth round of their championship bout. Never one to slow down, Smythe, who is trained by Nate Libby out of Evolution Athletix in Saco, Мен, is anxious to make an immediate turnaround and defend his title against a former NEF Champion.

“From bell to bell, every round, I’ll be going at this kid like he owes me money,” Smythe stated. “I want a quick finish. Ryan doesn’t deserve to be in that cage with me. February 12th, I’ll show why I’m the NEF flyweight champ.”

Ryan Burgess is no stranger to championship challenges. Hailing from Rumford, Мен, Burgess is one of only four Mountain Valley High School mat men to ever win triple state crowns in wrestling. He amassed an amazing 151-23 overall high school record before graduating and turning his attention to mixed martial arts. Burgess quickly made a name for himself in MMA when he won the NEF Flyweight Championship in November 2015 with a split-decision nod over then Champion Dustin Veinott (5-4). When Burgess last competed, he displayed a dangerous Brazilian jiu-jitsu (Бразильського джиу-джитсу) game off his back in defeating Nate Boucher (0-1) in a heated hometown rivalry. Громадянин, a BJJ purple belt, trains under Jason “JB” Bell and fights out of Bell’s Famoso BJJ.

“I’m super excited to make my return on NEF’s 10-year anniversary show,” Burgess stated. “It’s been a long time coming for me to return to the cage and I can’t think of a more perfect scenario than coming back and regaining my flyweight title with a finish over Smythe. It’s been three years since I’ve competed, but my coach, Jason Bell, and I have been putting in work behind the scenes. I can’t wait to showcase my skills and put on a show for the fans.

“Smythe seems like a tough opponent, and it was no easy feat for him to defeat Caleb Austin for the belt,” Burgess continued. “With that being said, I see many holes in his game that I plan to exploit come February 12th. I hope he’s not expecting the same fighter he’s watching in the three-plus-year-old film he’s researching to better understand me. Mentally and skillfully, I am a far superior fighter compared to my previous bouts and only my training partners actually know the weapons I’ll be bringing into that cage to get the job done. Smythe may rethink his entire pursuit of a professional MMA career when I’m finished with him. The pressure I’m going to bring would melt any of these amateur flyweights in New England and come February they will all be on notice.”

ASSAM VS KANGAS SET TO STRIKE AT NEF 46 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY EVENT

Залишити коментар

ПРЕС-РЕЛІЗ: Портленд, Мен (Листопад 24, 2021) - New England Бої (NEF) Повертається з наступними змішаними постійними мистецтвами (MMA) подія, "NEF 46: Десятиліття домінування,”У суботу, Лютого 12, 2022, в Аурі в Портленді, Мен. Подія відзначить десятирічну річницю NEF. Провідна регіональна акція, розпочата в лютому 11, 2012. Раніше сьогодні, NEF announced the addition of an amateur welterweight bout to the fight card.Джон Ассам (2-3) is scheduled to take on former lightweightТканина Джастіна (0-3) в бій маси 170 фунтів.

Jon Assam will have fought for NEF for four straight years when he steps in the cage on February 12ї. The Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) staple most recently made Austin Hamilton (0-3) retire on the stool in between rounds when they faced-off at the Hampshire Dome last August at “NEF 44: Back in Black” in New Hampshire. Assam will be looking to extend his win streak to two when he shares the cage with Kangas in February.

“I’m very excited to be part of another NEF event, always good cards and good fights,” Assam stated. “I don’t like to do much talking outside of the cage, but my opponent can expect the same thing I expect from him—the best version of ourselves—and we’ll see whose best is better.”

Justin Kangas has struggled to find his first win in NEF, having dropped losses to a who’s who of young up and coming talent including Nate “The Mule White (5-0) and former NEF Featherweight Champion Nathaniel Grimard (4-1). Standing 6’3”, the cut to 155-pounds has always been a struggle for the moonlighting mixed martial artist who spends his days working as a school principal. Having finally found the rhythm between his professional life and passion for training, Kangas is confident that the move up in weight class will help him secure that elusive first win in the NEF hexagon.

“I am extremely excited to step back into the NEF cage. It has been far too long. Covid has been rough on us all in a variety of ways, but if there is a silver lining, it’s that it gave me a ton of time to work on my deficits. When I first started fighting for NEF, I was only nine months into my training, and I was a fish out of water on the ground. Each fight gave me a lot to reflect on and gave me a full picture of what needed to change. Covid may have stopped a lot of things in our country, but it didn’t stop me from training and growing as a fighter.

“My weaknesses have become new passions and strengths for me. Losing and identifying faults doesn’t break me down. It excites me. Nothing is more rewarding than improving yourself. Have no doubt, I have done just that.

“After all the time off, I made the decision to jump up a weight class. I have been working hard to put on weight the right way over the last year and a half and have come leaps and bounds in my confidence and technique on the feet, the cage and the ground. I am a far more well-rounded and skilled fighter. I look forward to showing off that work.

“Jon Assam is a veteran in the NEF cage and he always goes to war. I am excited to share the cage with him and I know the fans won’t be disappointed. I took this fight because I knew it would push me to my limits and that’s how exciting fights are made. I don’t take fights looking for an easy win to pad my record. I’m here to push and challenge myself. My past three opponents have a combined record of 12-4. Expect nothing less than a battle in that cage.”

Нещодавно чемпіонат був звільнений, коли колишній власник титулу Майк Безансон (5-0) публічно заявив, що він стане професійним у своєму наступному поєдинку.

Майк Мюррей засліпив шанувальників, оскільки дебютував у NEF у червні 2019. Після того, як брязкала вражаючі спини до спини першого раунду з заднім голею хукою перемоги у своїх перших двох поєдинках, Мюррей зіткнувся проти Зака ​​Річарда (1-0) Для тодішнього вакантного чемпіонату з легкої ваги NEF.

"Я особисто відчуваю, що ми найкращий матч один одного, побачивши його вражаюче та джиу Цзіцу в його останньому поєдинку. У мене два роки поза кліткою, але не два роки поза бійкою. Минулого літа поодинці, Я пішов непереможеним у муай -тай, і мав 15 Jiu Jitsu Matches, і все більше ставляться до кожного турніру. Моє прогнозування цієї боротьби полягає в тому, що це буде найсмішніша аматорська боротьба на цій картці – Якщо не цього року. Я вкладаю роботу, щоб бути найбільш смертельною версією себе, І я вважаю, що це найкраще, що я коли -небудь вступав у бійку. У цьому немає ніякої ворожнечі, Це суто дві собаки, які замикаються в клітці. Я настільки в захваті від того, що я є частиною цієї неймовірно спеціальної 10-річної картки. Це точно буде нічкою, яку слід пам’ятати ».

Зак Фолкнер дебютував 2017 У “NEF 30: Гуркіт у Бангорі »і з тих пір залишається ідеальним всередині шестикутника NEF. Він нещодавно здобув одностайну перемогу над Кертісом Оуеллетом (1-3) У серпні минулого року в "NEF 44" в Нью -Гемпширі. Він тренується з Джоном Деупрі (1-0) у Fitness у Вестбрук, Мен.

"Я дуже рада, що не тільки маю можливість боротися за титул середньої ваги NEF, але також мати можливість боротися за таку велику карту проти жорсткої, ігровий супротивник,”Заявив Фолкнер. "Перемога для мене багато означала б для мене, оскільки це показало б, що моя боротьба рухається в правильному напрямку і показує, що я готовий почати думати про рух до наступного рівня".

NEF RETURNS TO MAINE WITH STACKED FIGHT CARD FEATURING FOUR TITLE FIGHTS

ПРЕС-РЕЛІЗ: Портленд, Мен (Жовтень 22, 2021) – When the bell rings at 7 pm EST to start the show on Friday, Листопад 5, it will be the first time New England Fights (NEF) has presented a mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event in its home state of Maine in 21 months. Shortly after the venerable fight promotion held “NEF 42” at Merrill Auditorium in Portland on February 8, 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic gripped the state and the nation. The resulting shutdown forced the indefinite postponement of “NEF 43” which was scheduled to take place in Orono, Maine later that spring. With the state not fully opening for combat sports events until well into 2021, NEF decided to turn to neighboring New Hampshire to hold “NEF 44” last summer. “NEF 45: Uprising” on November 5 will see the fight promotion make its long-awaited return to action in Maine, as well as close out its first decade of business. The event will originate from Aura in Portland.

Four title fights. For headliner Josh Harvey, his next fight could be the last chance to see him compete before he gets the call to the UFC —he’s that close. Leading up to the main event we have several undefeated amateur athletes that are on the cusp of turning pro and trying to follow in Harvey’s footsteps. AURA is the place to be November 5th!"

THE MULE TRAIN ROLLS INTO MERRILL AUDITORIUM IN PORTLAND ON FEBRUARY 8

Залишити коментар

ПРЕС-РЕЛІЗ: Портленд, Мен (Грудня 20, 2019) - New England Бої (NEF) will hold its next mixed-martial-arts (MMA) подія, “NEF 42: Symphony of Destruction,” в суботу, Лютого 8, 2020, at Merrill Auditorium in Portland. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of an amateur catchweight bout to the card.Нейт "Мул" білий(4-0) зустрінетьсяБрайан Коско (5-8) при боротьбі 158 фунти.

2019 could very well be termed the “Year of the Mule” in hindsight. The MAGA-hat-wearing Nate White was a perfect 4-0 this past year, finishing all four of his opponents decisively. White has become known for stepping in at the last minute to save fights. In September, on just a few days’ notice, White took a fight with Ryan Savage (0-2).  Just hours before that fight, White was tased and pepper-sprayed as part of his National Guard training. He would go on to defeat Savage that evening. Last month, White was victorious over Austin Hamilton (0-1) at “NEF 41.” During his post-fight interview, White famously uttered the phrase “(Jeffrey) Epstein didn’t kill himself” before walking away from the microphone. White represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) of Lewiston, Maine. He is a nominee for “Rookie of the Year” in NEF for 2019.

“Brian comes into this bout with a lot of fight maturity and with a lot of maturity period—the dude is literally more than double my age,- сказав Уайт.  “He’s got the edge in experience, but I’ve got the good looks on my side in this one. The Mule Train doesn’t slow down for anyone—especially not for Brian Cosco. I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but he’s going to find out what hardworking, unskilled labor feels like on February 8th. God Bless the USA, and God Bless our President to reelection in 2020, the Honorable Donald J. Trump.”

Brian Cosco is a longtime veteran of the New England cage wars having begun his amateur career in 2011. Like White, he is undefeated in the NEF cage. Cosco defeated Garry Carr (2-1) by doctor stoppage last April at “NEF 38.” He returned at “NEF 41” in November to submit Clifford Redman (0-11) in the first round. Cosco’s Von Flue choke on Redman is a nominee for “Submission of the Year” in the NEF 2019 Year-End Awards. He currently represents Redline Fight Sports based in Cambridge, Массачусетс.

“I’m excited to come back up to Maine and fight for NEF again where I’ll be fighting a hometown guy with an undefeated record—and that provides some extra motivation for me,” said Cosco.  “Nate’s young and has the potential to do big things in MMA, but timing is everything in the fight game and this is just a bad time to fight me. 2020 is going to be my year and it starts February 8th.”

Нью-Інгленд Бої’ наступна подія змішаних єдиноборств, “NEF 42: Symphony of Destruction,” відбудеться в суботу, Лютого 8, 2020, at Merrill Auditorium in Portland, Мен. Квитки вже у продажу вwww.PortTix.com.
