ICB ÎNCHEAZĂ FOSTEUL CAMPION LA GREUTĂ MEDIE PAUL MENDEZ PENTRU PACTUL DE BOX

MENDEZ VEDE „ZONA DE LUPTA” CA „O PLATFORMĂ DE CREȘTE”

Fostul campion al Asociației Internaționale de Box la categoria mijlocie Paul Mendez din Salinas, Calif., a semnat un acord multianual cu International Championship Boxing, promotor al noului sport de luptă revoluționar și interesant, care prezintă boxul în cușcă.

„Prima noastră lume anterioară campion s-a alăturat ICB, și am toată încrederea că nu va fi ultimul,” spune Jack Fulton, fondator și director executiv al companiei din Virginia ICB.

In varsta de 29 de ani, 6-Foot-1-inch Mendez are un record de 19-3-2 cu nouă knockout, inclusiv a marca de 12-1-1 pentru trecutul lui 14 capete.

Mendez, supranumit „The „Cocoșul negru” („Cocoșul negru”), a câștigat campionatul IBA la categoria mijlocie în timpul 2015 învingându-l pe Ernesto Berrospe pe un cartonaș co-promovat de regretatul, marele Don Chargin, recunoscut la nivel de industrie drept unul dintre cei mai buni judecători ai talent de box vreodată.

„Sunt mulțumit de numarul de boxeri, artiști marțiali mixți și kickboxeri care se adresează noi,” spune Fulton.

„Și nu este doar boxeri și luptători din America de Nord,” spune Fulton. „Primim apeluri și e-mailuri de la luptători din Europa și Asia care sunt dornici să concureze în ICB.“

Mendez nu a fost niciodată detronat; în schimb, s-a pensionat în timpul 2016 pentru a petrece timp în timpul primii ani de formare ai fiicei sale, numită Iubire.

„Am vrut să fiu prin preajmă fiica mea la început,” spune Mendez. „Dar acum are trei ani, si eu sunt intrând în primii mei ani.”

Și Mendez a învățat o lecție importantă, datorită fiicei sale.

„Ea este forța mea motrice, pasiunea mea,” spune Mendez. „Așa că a trebuit să învăț să fiu adult cu adult responsabilități. Datorită fiicei mele, am crescut ca bărbat și am crescut procesul de box.

„De atunci fac box am fost 10 și a fost întotdeauna un joc pentru mine, un sport, nu un job,” spune Mendez. „Dar acum că am o fiică, cred că boxul este o afacere; este un lucru serios munca.

„M-am luptat cu „3G” (Gennady Golovkin) de mai multe ori,” spune Mendez, „și spune el, „Boxul nu este un joc.’ Când m-am luptat cu Andre Ward, el a spus întotdeauna să fie nemilos în joc inel.

nu mi-e frica sau nervos de oricine,” spune Mendez. „Nu-mi pasă dacă este King Kong. sunt gata lupta cu oricine, și acum o voi face în cușcă.

„Când a apărut ICB, eu am văzut imediat că se potrivește bine pentru mine,” spune Mendez. „Sunt un luptător, nu a pitty-pat, iar când îmi impun dimensiunea adversarilor, asta va fi perfect pentru mine.

„Aceasta este o oportunitate pentru un luptător ca mine,” spune Mendez. „Pot și voi folosi asta ca platformă pentru a crește. Sunt entuziasmat de asta.”

Mendez oferă detalii de ce cușca ICB, un hexagon de 24 de picioare cu marca comercială „Zona de luptă,” este pentru a lui plăcere.

„Șase colțuri, nu doar patru, este in avantajul meu,” spune Mendez. „Sunt mai multe locuri pentru a prinde oamenii. „Zona de luptă” se referă la unghiuri și la tăierea cuștii.”

I-a luat aproape Fulton doi ani pentru a proiecta cușca, construit, patentat si aprobat de box si comisii sportive din Statele Unite, inclusiv statul Nevada.

Un veteran de 18 ani promotor al sportului, Fulton, de-a lungul anilor, a început să realizeze sportul avea nevoie de ceva nou, ceva proaspăt. Și în 2016 a făcut ceva în privința asta.

„Zona de luptă” are roșu și puncte de intrare albastre cu două colțuri neutre opuse. Boxerii concurează sub Regulile Asociației Comisiilor de Box: fără strângere, fără luptă și nu lovituri permise.

RUBEN VILLA: ‘I’M PRETTY SURE ME AND SHAKUR STEVENSON WILL FIGHT AGAIN

https://www.ringtv.com/533294-ruben-villa-im-pretty-sure-shakur-stevenson-will-fight/

 

 

 

BY JOSEPH SANTOLIQUITO (RINGTV.COM)

 

 

 

The encouragement wasn’t so subtle, as Ruben Villa IV looked up from his muddy hands and knees, wiping his sweaty brow with his forearm and wondering if the day would ever end. Ruben Villa III, Villa’s father, blurted out, “Do you want to do this for the rest of your life? You better start getting serious about boxing,” or working in sweltering 90-degree heat in the fields would become a fact of life.

 

 

 

Villa, the gifted featherweight southpaw, was around 15 ani, la momentul, and boxing was just something to fill the time. Though sweating in the gym certainly beat toiling for his father in the summer, lugging boxes, landscaping in what Villa describes as abig old yard,” and making deliveries.

 

 

 

“Box, mie, was hard at the time and I was too immature to understand the work that you had to put into it to be successful,” said Villa, care se va transforma 21 next week. “I had to learn sacrifices were needed in order to be successful. Nothing was going to be handed to me. Once my father took me to work that day, I decided, nu face, I’d rather get paid to beat someone up.

 

 

 

That next someone for Villa (10-0, 4 knockout) could be Colombian Marlon Olea (13-2, 12 KO) in Villa’s first scheduled eight-rounder, from the Salinas Storm House, in Salinas, California, sâmbătă seara. This is the first time Villa will be fighting at home as a pro, ca evenimentul principal.

 

 

 

When I’m sweating and working my ass off at the gym, I think back to the times I worked with my father and I’ll always remember that,” said Villa, the only boy of five children. “I’m not afraid of hard work but there are better ways to get paid. There are worse situations than boxing and boxing for a living can be a hard life too. You’re away from your family for a month and you’re sweating just as hard as when I worked for my father, who has a job in the agriculture business, doing everything from driving a forklift to making deliveries.

 

 

 

You appreciate hard work once you see what you’re doing to keep food on the table. You get a greater appreciation when you do what they do. I used to help my father when I was in my mid-teens a couple of times. I did whatever my father told me to do. It meant doing all of the moving, boxes, wooden pallets and this yard that was always dirty. I helped my dad with deliveries and cleaning that big old yard of his. I never wanted to go back to that.

 

It made Villa look at boxing differently.

 

 

 

This fight with Olea is another step for me,” said Villa, whose patience belies his age. “My time will come eventually. Stiu asta. Olea, Știu, is a Colombian who is 13-2 and he has 12 knockout, so he comes pretty heavy-handed. My sparring went well. I had some heavier guys come in and I’m ready to show what I can do.

 

 

 

Villa is hoping his career continues on an upward trajectory, so he can one day professionally meet 2016 S.U.A.. Olympic silver medalist Shakur Stevenson, who Villa defeated twice in 2015, ca un amator. The 5-foot-6 Villa, who started boxing when he was five to curb his overly rambunctious behavior, and Stevenson, care este 5-0, cu 2 KOs as a pro, are both featherweights.

 

 

 

After Villa beat Stevenson the second time in 2015, Stevenson made the photo of the referee raising Villa’s hand the screensaver on his cell phone. Stevenson got his revenge by beating Villa twice at the Olympic Trials, în luna decembrie 2015, to earn a spot on the U.S. team for the 2016 Rio Olympics.

 

 

 

Somewhere down the line, I’m pretty sure me and Stevenson will happen again,” Villa said. “I want to see him again. Once we make a name for ourselves, se va întâmpla. We’ll get that fight in and there is a rivalry between us. I know more people in boxing may know him more than they know me but I don’t care.

 

 

 

I’ve always had the idea to push through with hard work. I’ll get mine eventually.
