GH3 Promotions fighters shine in Philly!

Leave a comment

Nutley, NJ (April 6, 2018)-Two of GH3 Promotions top fighters remained undefeated last Friday night at The Fillmore in Philadelphia.

 

 

 

Super Middleweight Ronald Ellis won a six-round unanimous decision over Taneal Goyco, while Joey Alday, Jr. kept his perfect knockout record intact by stopping Michael Crain in the 3rd round of their junior middleweight bout.

 

 

 

Ellis battered the upset-specialist Goyco for much of the fight, and almost had the tough Philadelphian stopped several times during the fight.  Ellis of Lynn, Massachusetts cruised home by with the victory by scores of 60-53 twice and 59-54 to raise his mark to 15-0-2.

 

 

 

Alday, who was making his debut under the GH3 Promotions banner, fought as expected by using good boxing skills while mixing power shots.  He just needed a wicked body shot to end things at at 1:28 of round three to keep unblemished at 7-0 with 7 knockouts.

 

 

 

“Ronald came back very nicely after a tough fight in February,” said GH3 Promotions CEO Vito Mielnicki, who was referring to Ellis’ disputed draw with Junior Younan in February.  “His next fight will be another significant fight against a top opponent.  He is a couple fights away from something big in the super middleweight division.  As for Joey, he performed terrific.  He is a big junior middleweight who displayed both boxing skills and power.  We will bring him along nicely, and have him back in May.”

Leave a comment

 

 

 

Wins by Hard Hitting Promotions fighters Pizarro, Cuevas & Teah

 

Rock, Ellis, Williams and Alday remain undefeated
 

 

 

Philadelphia, PA (April 2, 2018) – This Past Friday night, Malik Hawkins remained undefeated by winning a 10-round unanimous decision over Raymond Serrano to capture the NABA-USA Welterweight title that headlined an action-packed 8 bout card at The Fillmore in Philadelphia.

 

 

 

The sold-out show was promoted by Hard Hitting promotions.

 

 

 

Hawkins used his length to pick and land shots on the inside.  Hawkins raced to the early lead, but the veteran Serrano got going in the middle rounds as he used his experience to get himself back into the fight by winning scrums on the inside and an occasional long right hand.  Down the stretch, Hawkins dug down deep and took control of the fight as seemed to be the fresher fighter.  Hawkins who had never been past seven rounds, paced himself well against a tough Serrano, who never showed any signs of retreating as the two stood and fought until the final bell.

 

 

 

Hawkins of Baltimore, MD won by scores of 98-92, 97-93 and 96-94 to raise his perfect mark to 13-0.  Serrano of Philadelphia was urged on by his loyal fan base, but fell just short, and now drops to 24-5.

 

 

 

Heavyweight prospect Darmani Rock landed a hard right to the body that dropped Ronny Hale down and out at 1:27 of round two of their scheduled six-round bout.

 

 

 

Rock of Philadelphia is now 11-0 with 7 knockouts.  Hale of Austin, Texas falls to 4-12.

 

 

 

Good looking prospect Brandon Pizarro rebounded nicely from his 1st professional defeat by pounding out a 4-round unanimous decision over Pablo Cupal in a lightweight fight.

 

 

 

Pizarro, 18 years-old of Philadelphia won by shutout scores on all cards of 40-36, and is now 9-1.  Cupul of San Diego is 9-24.

 

 

 

Samuel Teah dropped Orlando Rizo three times in the 1st round, and their lightweight bout was stopped at 2:35 of that opening frame.

 

 

 

Teah dropped Rizo with a right hand early in the round.  He followed that up with hard body shot that sent Rizo to the canvas, and finished off Rizo with another right hand.

 

 

 

Teah of Philadelphia is now 13-2-1 with 6 knockouts.  Rizo of Managua, Nicaragua is 19-13.

 

 

 

 

Undefeated prospect Jeremy Cuevas got off the deck to come back to win a six-round unanimous decision of Erain Cruz in a super lightweight bout.

 

 

 

Early on it looked like it could have been a rough night for Cuevas as he ate a perfect right hand that sent him to the canvas in round two.  A round later, Cuevas had blood dripping from his nostrils, but the young veteran got himself together and put his combinations together to come to take the rest of the fight, and win by scores of 59-55 on all cards.

 

 

 

Cuevas of Philadelphia is now 8-0.  Cruz of Ocala, FL is 4-5.

 

 

 

It looked like undefeated super middleweight Ronald Ellis would have a short night as he battered Taneal Goyco all over the ring in the first round of their scheduled six-round bout.  Ellis continued to have Goyco in trouble throughout their affair, and dropped Goyco with a right hand in round three.  Goyco hung tough, but took many power shots, and Ellis looked impressive in winning by shutout scores of 60-53 on all cards.

 

 

 

Ellis of Lynn, MA is now 15-0-2.  Goyco of Philadelphia 9-11.

 

 

 

Tramaine Williams won a six-round unanimous decision over Antonio Rodriguez in a featherweight bout.

 

 

 

Williams landed quick combinations, and cut Rodriguez over his right eye in the final round.

 

 

 

Williams of New Haven, CT won by scores of 60-53, 59-55 and 58-56 to raise his mark to 15-0.  Rodriguez of Mexico is 12-21.

 

Joey Alday, Jr. kept his knockout streak intact by stopping Michael Crain at 1:28 of round three of their scheduled 4-round junior middleweight bout.

 

 

 

Alday dropped Crain round two with a hard combination, and finished him off with a hard left to the body in round three.

 

 

 

Alday of Odessa, Texas is now 7-0.  Crain of Smyrna, DE is 1-2.

Undefeated Super Middleweight Ronald Ellis Takes On Taneal Goyco This Friday Night At The Fillmore In Philadelphia 

Leave a comment

Nutley, NJ (March 28, 2018)–Undefeated super middleweight contender Ronald Ellis returns to action for the 1st time since his controversial draw with Junior Younan when he takes on upset specialist Taneal Goyco this Friday night at The Fillmore in Philadelphia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ellis of Lynn, Massachusetts and now is training out of Los Angeles, has been working hard since the February 2nd fight with Younan.  In that bout Ellis forced the action, and most ringside observers thought that Ellis should have squeaked out the decision.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friday night, Ellis will look to notch his 15th victory against two draws.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Everything is good.  I got right back in the gym after the last fight.  When I watched the fight again, I could have done a little bit bit more, but he ran all night.  Hopefully Goyco will stand and fight on Friday night,” said Ellis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ellis believes by the end of the year, that he will be right in the mix of the hot super middleweight division.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I still have a lot to prove, But I am a contender that is continuously climbing the rankings.  I just need that opponent who will bring the best out of me. My plan is to get another fight on television after this one.  I know Goyco is no pushover   I have been training for and treat him like all of my other opponents.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 28 year-old is looking forward to performing in front of the knowledgeable fight fans in Philadelphia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Philadelphia fans always knows when there is a good fight.  There have been a lot of good fighters from Philadelphia, and they are real fight fans there.  I am really excited to perform in front of them.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Ronald is close to a big fight.  I am looking to step him back up in the early part of the Summer.  I feel by the end of the year, he will be in a major fight in the super middleweight division.  I expect him to look great on Friday night, and we are excited to watch him perform on Friday night,” said GH3 Promotions CEO, Vito Mielnicki.

In his last bout, Lopez fought to a ten-round split draw with Roman Reynoso (18-1-1) on July 22nd in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
“The fight was close, but I thought I edged it out.  In the last round I had him in trouble and he spit his mouthpiece out.  I was on my way to getting a 10-8 round, which would have given me the win.  He did a veteran move in there.”
“If I would have won that, I would be fighting for a world title.  I wanted to win that fight in general, but I look forward to the next fight.  Maybe I wasn’t supposed to get the title shot now.  I just have to work and that shot will come.  I just have to be patient.”

Lopez is ready to show his skills in front of the knowledgeable Philadelphia fight crowd.
“I always know that Philly is a great fight town.  I actually want to see the park here “The Fresh Prince” was bullied at,” Lopez said laughingly.
