Riad, Arábia Saudita (Agosto 13, 2025) - Fase 3: As quartas de final doGrande Prêmio WBC de Boxe entregou surpresas emocionantes e nocautes espetaculares em quase 9 horas de boxe comercial gratuito no DAZN enquanto a multidão na Cool Arena em Riade, Arábia Saudita viu 32 lutadores de 15 diferentes países em quatro categorias de peso diferentes tentaram carimbar seu ingresso para as semifinais do torneio.

“Vimos uma compilação de grandes talentos de todo o mundo. Os boxeadores que lutaram esta noite serão heróis locais quando voltarem para casa,”disse o presidente do WBC e organizador do torneioMauricio Sulaiman. “Isso é algo que está cada vez melhor. Mal posso esperar pelas semifinais em outubro, e depois a Grande Final em dezembro.”

Tudo 16 os lutadores que avançaram competirão em outubro em data a definir.

Aqui está um resumo da noite em Riade.

Luta da Noite: Peso médio Carlos Sinisterra (Colômbia) 13-1 (10 KOs) Aquele Efrém Bariko (França) 12-1 (6 KOs)

Bariko dominou os dois primeiros rounds e iniciou o terceiro com forte, combinações precisas que estavam atingindo o alvo. Contudo, tudo mudou num instante, quando o destaque colombiano encurralou Bariko e desferiu golpes que o francês não resistiu.

Sinisterra vencido por nocaute agora enfrentará o canadense Derek Pomerleau na semifinal dos pesos médios que promete ser uma das melhores lutas do Grand Prix.

Pomerleau (14-0, 11 KOs) derrotou Dmytro Rybalko do Ukrainre com um combo devastador de quatro socos que lhe rendeu a vitória por nocaute técnico no segundo round e uma vaga nas semifinais.

Transtorno da Noite: Peso pena Muhamet Qamili (Itália) 17-0 (7 KOs) contra Troy Nash (EUA) 5-1 (1 KO)

A reviravolta da noite foi possível graças ao sistema de pontuação aprimorado do WBC, que permite aos juízes avaliar a determinação do desempenho de cada lutador em cada round como critério de desempate em caso de empate. Foi o que aconteceu durante a luta mais esperada da noite, que também proporcionou talvez o seu resultado mais inesperado numa batalha entre perspectivas invictas.

Os três juízes marcaram a luta 58-56 a favor de Nash, 58-56 para Qamili e 57-57 respectivamente. Em qualquer outro concurso, a luta teria sido declarada empate dividido. Contudo, o sistema de pontuação aprimorado revelou que dois juízes viram 5-4 e 4-2 a favor de Qamili, que se ajoelhou e abraçou seu time após ter a mão levantada.

“Troy Nash é um futuro superstar. Foi sua quinta luta, e seu oponente foi muito duro em uma luta acirrada. Ele aprenderá e sairá melhor disso,” Sulaiman disse após a luta.

Fuga da Noite: Peso pesado Kevin Ramírez (Argentina) (11-0-1, 4 KOs) UD sobre Piotr Lacz (Polônia) (14-1-0, 10 KOs)

Kevin Ramírez, da Argentina, um peso cruzador natural lutando na divisão de peso pesado neste torneio, prevaleceu em uma decisão de sistema de pontuação aprimorado sobre o polonês Piotr Lacz, que o superou em 18 quilos após a pesagem oficial na terça-feira.

Ramírez, que trabalha como coletor de lixo para financiar sua carreira no boxe, surpreendeu os juízes com rounds decisivos que mostraram suas combinações eficazes e uma eficácia geral superior no acerto de socos durante a luta.

O portenho enfrentará agora o norte-americano Dante Stone no que será um desafio ainda mais difícil nas semifinais. Stone pesou em 257.9 libras para sua luta nas quartas de final, enquanto Ramírez fez isso em 204.

NOTAS:

· EUA foram 1-3 durante as quartas de final. Stone foi o único que prevaleceu do lado americano por decisão unânime sobre Youness Baalla do Marrocos.

· O México não se saiu melhor com um 1-2 recorde do peso pena Brandon Mejia fechou a noite com vitória por decisão unânime sobre Ayubkhon Bakhtiyorov. Emiliano Aguillón perdeu para o francês Lancelot Proton de la Chappelle com uma decisão de sistema de pontuação aprimorado.

Malik Scott in Zurdo Ramirez’ corner

Deixe um comentário
(L-R) – Zurdo Ramirez & Malik Scott

LOS ANGELES (Outubro 30, 2024) – Former pro heavyweight contender Malik Scott has successfully transitioned from fighter to trainer, and he will be working the corner of reigning World Boxing Association (WBA) Cruiserweight World Champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (46-1, 30 KOs) for his November 16th unification fight with World Boxing Organization (WBO) titleholder Chris “The Gentleman” Billam-Smith (20-1, 13 KOs) in Riyadh, Arábia Saudita.

The 44-year-old Scott, who will assist Ramirez’ head trainer Julian Chua, passionately believes that not only will Ramirez defeat Smith, but Zurdo is the No. 1 cruiserweight in the world as well. Scott was Ramirez’ head trainer when Chua was unavailable for Ramirez’ debut as a cruiserweight (Outubro 7, 2023), in which he defeated former world light heavyweight champion Joe Smith, Jr. (28-4) in a dominant performance by way of a 10-round unanimous decision, winning all but one round on all three of the judges’ scorecards.

Scott and Chua are “in house” trainers at the state-of-the-art Brickhouse Boxing Club in North Hollywood, Califórnia.

“Julian is one of the brightest trainers in boxing,” Scott said. “I enjoy learning from him. I had Zurdo for his fight with Joe Smith and he had a good performance. I really enjoy working with him. No disrespect to Smith-Billam, but this fight is a mismatch. Zurdo is a big, strong southpaw who has fought a higher level of opponents than Smith-Billam. Zurdo is a good body puncher who throws punches from incredible angles, and he has an incredible boxing mind. Smith-Billam is big, strong and he keeps coming forward, but he is a one-trick pony. He does have a good trainer (Shane McGuigan), but I think Zurdo takes over in the second half of the fight. And Zurdo has a Dream Team in his corner. I think he will become the undisputed world champion and only Jay Opetaia can give him a fight.”

A product of the fighting city of Philadelphia, Scott was a decorated U.S. pugilista amador (70-3), highlighted by his gold-medal performance at the 1999 National AAU Championships. He went on to have a solid 15-year professional career, which ended in 2016 com um 38-3-1 (13 KOs) registro.

Scott has always studied the sport of boxing and gives it his all every day. There’s no idol worshipping for him, and he takes pride in teaching young boxers.

“A great trainer teaches boxers the why’s and how’s,” Scott explained. “A good trainer just gives instructions. I believe in teaching for a good reason. I study fighters, their styles, and habits, and I go as far as studying the opponent’s corner to learn how they work during a fight. I think everybody working corners should be mic-ed up. I’m confident and want people to hear my advice.”

Scott learned from Fred Jenkins back in Philadelphia and he has studied other trainers such as Barry Robinson, Joe Goossen, and Emanuel Steward, entre outros. Scott was head trainer for Deantay Wilder for his third fight with Tyson Fury. In addition to assisting Chua with Zurdo, they also team, respectivamente, as head and assistant trainers of world super flyweight title challenger John “Scrappy” Ramirez (13-1, 9 KOs). They aren’t related but Zurdo is like a big brother and role model for “Scrappy.”

“’Scrappy’ is going to be world champion,” Scott predicted. “His day is coming!”Malik Scott is literally and figuratively in Zurdo Ramirez’ corner.

It was the world-class grappling of American Top Team’s Eblen that was the difference. The Kansas City-native scored numerous takedowns over the course of 25 atas, earning a unanimous 48-47 decision despite a fifth round onslaught from Edwards.

Zafar Mohsen entered PFL’s SmartCage for the first time on Saturday as a major underdog for his Featherweight contest against Dagestan’s Husein Kadimagomaev, but it was the German athlete who emerged the favorite, sweeping the scorecards in a one-sided 30-27 unanimous decision victory. Mohsen has now pushed his current winning streak to four bouts.

Opening the PPV card of PFL Battle of the Giants, a highly anticipated Lightweight fight between former Bellator Featherweight Champion AJ McKee and surging Irish prospect Paul Hughes ended up being exactly what fight fans were expecting – a high-level, back-and-forth fight between two athletes with title aspirations.
