Pryce is Right again for undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight Pryce Taylor

Tinggalkan komen
NEW YORK CITY (Jun 11, 2025) – Immediately after last Friday night’s impressive fourth-round stoppage of Ed “Tex” Fountain, Brooklyn’s undefeated Pryce Taylor (8-0, 5 KOs) was called America’s best heavyweight prospect by his promoter, Dmitriy Salita (Salita Promosi).

The 28-year-old Taylor and his manager, New York City-based Attorney Keith Sullivan, agree with Salita.

“They’re (Salita and Sullivan) both right,” kata Taylor, “because they’ve seen me fight. Fighting brings the dog out in me. Beliau (Fountain) was a test, real resilient, but like a punching bag that’s ready to fall off the chain. I had to keep hitting him and no way was he thinking about playing it safe. The referee saved his life; he was thinking about not falling down.”

The powerful Taylor entered the ring paying tribute to the late, great George Foreman by wearing a “Big George” T-shirt. Prior to the fight, Taylor noted that he had great success in the pro ranks fighting southpaws like Fountain. Taylor methodically ripped his opponent’s head and body with damaging punches, hurting Fountain in the third round with a straight right-left hook combination, followed by a barrage of shots on the sturdy Fountain who managed to survive the round.

Fountain (14-9, 7 KOs), who was the best fighter the 6’ 4”, 280-pound Taylor had fought in the pro ranks, was rocked from another series of violent combinations, when referee Charlie Fitch had seen enough and waved off the fight 36-seconds into the fourth frame.The fight was a scheduled 6-rounder on the “International Boxing Hall of Fame Night,” presented by Taylor’s promoter Salita Promotions, Di Turning Stone Resort Casino di Verona, New York.

“I was excited to be fighting on a show like that,” Taylor added. “He hit me first in the first round, something I always let my opponents do to test their power, gauge patterns, and figure him out. It’s like in baseball when a batter lets a pitch go by without swinging to see what he has on the mound. Because he’s a southpaw, his right is his jab, and he really wanted to use his left power hook. He had a good poker face, but he couldn’t hide it when I hurt him. He tried not showing he was fazed, keeping himself upright, but he felt my power. I like being accurate, especially throwing power punches. I punished him at the end, throwing a body shot, an uppercut, and then two right hooks.”

“I thought George Foreman would have been proud of me and maybe thought he was seeing himself fight when he saw me punch. I put on a show. I’m a combination of Foreman and Muhammad Ali; power punching like Foreman, elusive like Ali with good footwork and light on my toes.

“I’m not sure if this was the best fight of my career, but he was my best opponent and the toughest guy I’ve fought. He came into the ring in good shape and tried to fight. His downfall was Pryce Being Right lagi. I love throwing my straight right and that keeps opening up my left hook to the body.”

Taylor had a 60-11 rekod amatur, including a pair of New York Golden Gloves titles, and he was the heavyweight runner-up four times in the prestigious USA Boxing National Championship tournaments. “Pryce’s TKO win was exactly what I expected – dominant, calculated, and explosive,” Sullivan remarked. “He’s not just another prospect; with continued work, he can be the next great American heavyweight. With every fight, he’s proving that he has the tools, the discipline, and the mindset to be a force within this division. We’re building something special, and the world’s about to see it.”
Team Taylor (L-R): Manager Keith Sullivan, undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor, promoter Dmitriy Salita, and head trainer Benny Roman Salita.

Taylor will be fighting next in his first scheduled 8-round bout on July 26 in Detroit on a Salita Promotions card headlined by undisputed World Heavyweight Champion Claressa Shields (16-0, 3 KOs) versus Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO) di Little Caesars Arena.

(L) – Pryce Taylor ialah prospek kelas berat yang akan datang(gambar ihsan Sullivan Management)

NEW YORK CITY (Mac 19, 2024) – Pryce Taylor kelas berat Brooklyn (3-0, 2 KOs) telah berjaya beralih daripada bola keranjang kepada tinju dan hari ini prospek berusia 27 tahun itu semakin meningkat sebagai pejuang hadiah yang tidak terkalahkan.

Taylor berkata dia membawa kakinya dari gelanggang ke dalam gelanggang. Dia pertama kali mencelup bola ketika dia berada di darjah lapan, empat inci lebih pendek daripada 6’ 4” Taylor hari ini. Pryce mengakui kehilangan bola keranjang tetapi dengan cepat menyatakan bahawa dia masih boleh bermain, tidak semestinya dalam pasukan, kerana dia bukan dalam bentuk bola keranjang lagi. “Saya dalam bentuk tinju,” katanya dengan bangganya.

A.S. yang dihiasi. peninju amatur, diserlahkan oleh dua gelaran Kejohanan Sarung Tangan Emas New York, Taylor juga merupakan naib juara empat kali dalam Kejohanan Kebangsaan Amerika Syarikat, termasuk satu kepada Joshua Edwards, yang telah layak untuk mewakili sebagai kelas berat super untuk Pasukan USA dalam 2024 Sukan Olimpik di Paris.

Tahun lepas, Taylor mempunyai tujuh kemenangan bertarung untuk New York dalam Liga Pertempuran Berpasukan (TCL), iaitu satu pusingan, pertandingan format pasukan. Secara teknikal, kemenangan itu bukan sebahagian daripada rekod tinju profesionalnya. Taylor telah mendapat manfaat daripada pengalaman itu dan akan bersaing musim ini juga.

Taylor bermain bola keranjang selama satu musim di Kolej Komuniti Corning di bahagian utara New York. “Saya berhenti bermain bola keranjang enam tahun lalu,” kata Taylor. "Saya telah 60 pergaduhan (amatur, kebaikan dan TCL) dan percaya petinju terbaik sampai ke sana dengan pengalaman sparring. Jadi, Saya telah mendapat banyak pengalaman. Saya mempunyai set kemahiran yang baik dan tahu apa yang perlu saya lakukan di gelanggang.

“Fikiran saya adalah untuk melakukan apa yang tidak dilakukan oleh peninju lain. Semua peninju belajar asasnya, tetapi semua yang mereka mahu buang, Saya sudah membuang diri saya, dan saya tahu bagaimana untuk mengatasinya. Apa sahaja yang mereka lemparkan saya mampu pertahankan.”

Taylor telah diletakkan di landasan pantas oleh pengurusnya, Peguam yang berpangkalan di New York City, Keith Sullivan, yang telah mendapati bahawa bukan mudah mencari lawan yang sesuai untuk Taylor, yang kerana saiznya, keturunan amatur dan mengambil bahagian dalam TCL, jauh lebih maju daripada yang ditunjukkan oleh tiga pertarungan pronya.

Satu lagi bahagian yang tidak ternilai dalam perkembangan Taylor ialah berdepan dengan pemain berwajaran tinggi seperti Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller, Otto Wallin, Vladyslav Sirenko, dan Brandon Glanton untuk menamakan beberapa orang yang lebih terkenal.

Taylor membuat debut profesionalnya pada Disember lalu, menghentikan Mike Diorio dalam pusingan pembukaan, diikuti Januari 27 dengan keputusan yang sama berbanding Gabriel Aguilar Costa. Dalam aksi terbarunya pada bulan Mac, Taylor pergi jauh untuk kali pertama sebagai seorang profesional, membuat penutupan empat pusingan untuk keputusan sebulat suara menentang Antonio Torres (4-1), 40-36 tiga kali.

Dalam usaha terakhir, diadakan di Dewan Sony, Taylor keluar ke gelanggang dan berarak mengelilingi gelanggang selepas itu dengan bendera Ireland disarungkan di bahu besarnya (lihat gambar di atas).

“Keith (Sullivan) tahu akan ada ramai peminat Ireland di sana untuk menonton pejuang Ireland (Emmet Brennan) berjuang selepas saya,” Taylor menjelaskan. “Dia fikir ia adalah cara yang baik untuk melibatkan orang ramai Ireland, jadi dia menyarungkan saya dengan bendera tiga warna Ireland. Dia betul, orang Ireland yang hadir sangat menyukainya, dan saya membuat beberapa lagi peminat.”

Kehilangan bola keranjang adalah keuntungan tinju; Pryce Taylor adalah prospek yang sah dengan peningkatan yang luar biasa.

Selain menguruskan Pryce Taylor, Keith Sullivan, bekas Timbalan Pesuruhjaya dengan Suruhanjaya Olahraga Negeri New York, dan peguam tinju lama, juga menguruskan Juara Dunia IBF Bantamweight Miyo Yoshida (17-4, 0 KOs) dan prospek kelas pertengahan Bronx Nisa Rodriguez (1-0), sebagai tambahan kepada pengurusan bersama Persatuan Tinju Dunia (WBA) Adakah Tidak. 12-pencabar kelas welter yang dinilai Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (13-0, 10 KOs), juara bertahan WBA Continental dari Limerick, Ireland. Sullivan menguruskan Donovan bersama bekas juara kelas menengah dunia Andy Lee.
