“There has been a lot of improvement since I have started”
In Morley, he is facing a durable guy, that has gone the distance in his first two outings.
“I just know he is shorter and heavier then me. He is from Philadelphia, so that alone, I know he is a tough guy.”
Davis is even more honest when it comes to his ceiling as a fighter.
“My goal is to fight as long as the sport wants me. I want to have fights that will build my resume and give me the credibility to become a trainer for all athletes. I would like to instill what I know and my experiences with baseball, football and now boxing and become an all-around trainer and role model. There are people needed in the community that should be mentoring kids coming up and I feel that I can be that guy around here.”
“I want to thank my supporters. I am humbled that they spend their hard earned money to come see fight, and I am so appreciative of that.”

In die belangrikste gebeurtenis, Thomas LaManna neem op Kendal Mena in 'n agt ronde welterweight bout.
Rainone has a record of 24-7-1 with with five knockouts has long been a fan favorite in the Empire state, and the fight with Chalmers will fulfill a venue that has been on the 36 year-old’s bucket list.
“I have fought in Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, The Legendary Blue Horizon and Las Vegas. I have been wanting to fight in Atlantic City for a long time and Saturday it finally happens,” said Rainone.
What makes Rainone’s career even more fascinating is that he works a full-time job overnight working for Hilton Hotels in the accounting the department.
That makes for long days, working until the early morning, getting just a few hours of sleep and then going to the gym before his overnight shift.
“I have not had a day off in seven weeks, but I will be ready to go Saterdag nag. I have had pretty good training and sparring. Now I am just maintaining my weight “
In Chalmers, he is facing a veteran who has a record of 14-12-1 met agt uitklophoue. Chalmers has knocked off three undefeated fighters, but Rainone is confident that his skills and preparation will be enough to get his hand raised.
“I have seen him once in person. He defeated an undefeated guy and he was very aggressive that night. I have seen other fight’s where he sits back and is a counter puncher. I prepare for anything.”
Since turning professional in 2006, Rainone has been an instant fan favorite, and he feels he owes a lot of support to the many supporters who have stuck by him through his whole career.
“Without a fan base, you don’t get fights. I will have 100 or so fans down in Atlantic City. I owe everything to them.”
Rainone believes his popularity is due large in part to him being just an “everyday guy” and his fans can relate to him.
“I always put on a good fight, but I am relate able. After the fights, I hang out with everybody. I am humble and I show the fans how much I appreciate him.”
In sy laaste bout, Rainone took one of the step up fights that could have set him up for a major opportunity when he took on former junior middleweight champion Ishe Smith.
Rainone came up just short in that fight, but Rainone wanted to test himself against the former world champion.
“That fight was a tall order. Ishe is the bigger man and a former world champion. I am not a junior middleweight. I tried very hard and I knew if I had won that fought, I would have been ranked in the top-ten.”
Rainone is only planning to fight another couple of years and he still has the goals of every fighter, but he is taking his career fight by fight.
“The goal is one fight at a time. I am excited to fight in Atlantic City. I want to fight at Barclays Center and again in Madison Square Square Garden as well fighting for a title back in Atlantic City.”
“I have done this the hard way throughout my career. I do not know who has done it the way I have. I have done this on my own without any alliance or any promoter and I am very proud what I have accomplished and I still have more to do.”
Kaartjies vir die March 19th fight card are $50 GA, $75 stadium (baie min oorblywende)& $125 VIP (UITVERKOOP) (Hutte van 5 beskikbaar vir $ 500—UITVERKOOP) en is beskikbaar by RisingBoxingPromotions.com of 609-487-4444.

Las Vegas (Desember 18) – Die “force” was with Cuban star and newly crowned lightweight world champion Rances Barthelemy (24-0, 13 Uitklophoue) as he won a 12-round unanimous decision over Russian southpaw Denis Shafikov (36-2-1, 19 Uitklophoue) in the headlining bout of the final Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) op Spike fight card of 2015. The four-fight telecast, which was supported by non-televised fights featuring some of Mayweather Promotions’ opkomende sterre, took place at the Pearl at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
Coming off of a luxury world tour, Floyd Mayweather returned stateside and sat ringside as promoter of tonight’s fights. The recently retired five-division world champion, who also learned today he was selected asSports Illustrated Vegter van die Jaar, was animated and engaged through the final bell of the evening.
Die belangrikste gebeurtenis, which started off as a close toe-to-toe battle, ended in the Barthelemy’s favor as he swept the latter quarter of the bout. Shafikov controlled the beginning of the fight, staying in the pocket and throwing more powerful punches than Barthelemy as the Cuban had a difficult time adjusting to the significantly shorter, yet stronger, style of Shafikov.
The turning point of the fight occurred when a cut caused by a punch by Barthelemy opened up above Shafikov’s right eye in the eighth round. The blood began to poor furiously and referee Vic Drakulich called the ringside doctor over to inspect the cut. When the fight resumed, Barthelemy attacked the Russian’s eye and never let up for the remainder of the fight. He took advantage of the cut and coupled it with his height and reach advantage which led to a recipe for success as he is now a two-division world champion. The judges saw the bout 119-109 en 116-112 twee keer.
“There were moments where I was trapped into my style of fighting. It took me a minute to adjust to Shafikov’s style and exchange punches with him,” Said Barthelemy. “I’m really happy with the number of punches I was able to get off.
“I was really impressed with Shafiov’s warrior style. He never gave up even after getting hurt with punches that were affecting his fight. That really caught me by surprise and also that he was able to last the whole fight. The fact that he continued really says something about him as a fighter.”
“I’m not sure if I won the fight,” Said Shafikov. “I’m very disappointed and I want a rematch.”
The co-main event saw a bizarre ending to what was to be a cruiserweight elimination bout. Detroit southpawJesaja Thomas (15-0, 6 Uitklophoue) was winning the fight on all three judges’ scorecards through round three when Russian power-puncher Murat “Yster” Gassiev (22-0, 16 Uitklophoue) threw accidental late blows to Thomas’ head after the bell. The punches forced referee Jay Nady to make the tough call that the punches “diminished the value” of Thomas’ ability to continue. As the fight had not yet gone four rounds, unified rules state that the fight does not go to the scorecards, thus ruling it a no contest.
Chris Pearson (16-1 11 Uitklophoue), a promising super welterweight from Dayton, Ohio put his previously undefeated record on the line against fellow unbeaten Eric Walker (12-0, 6 Uitklophoue) of Plaquemine, Louisiana in the second televised bout. Walker came out strong, dominating the early rounds against Pearson, another member of the stable of rising stars from Mayweather Promotions. A wobbled Pearson persevered and attempted to turn the tide in an action-packed fifth round with a series of head shots.

The seventh round saw both fighters exchanging a brutal barrage of punches culminating with a fast-paced eighth and final round drawing a standing ovation from the crowd. The underdog Walker, who spent 13 years in Dixon Correctional Institute in Louisiana, scored a unanimous decision victory (79-71, 78-74, 80-72) winning the biggest fight of his life in front of a captivated national TV audience.

“If you believe in God and work hard at what you’re doing, you’re going to succeed,” Said Walker. “Look at me now.
“I had watched his previous fights and knew that my right hand would be too much for him and that I could land it anytime,” continued Walker. “My conditioning was really the difference tonight. I was in great shape and I was able to rely on that when the going got tough.”

Pearson was disappointed in the decision and was left wanting a rematch.

“I take my hat off to him,” Said Pearson. “His punches were crisp and hard. I just couldn’t get going on anything consistently. I thought it was closer than the judges’ scorecards and I definitely want a rematch as soon as possible.”

In die opening bout van die aand, one of boxing’s fast rising stars, Gervonta “Die een” Davis (14-0, 13 Uitklophoue) out of Baltimore put his undefeated record on the line against Mexico’s Luis Sanchez (17-5-1, 5 Uitklophoue) in a lightweight clash.

Davis, a 21-year-old protégé of Mayweather, lived up to his reputation as a budding superstar scoring a hard-fought ninth round knockout victory. Sanchez showed his toughness and resiliency as he forced Davis to fight three rounds longer than any fight of his career.Davis showed his speed and power in the eighth round as he landed an uppercut to knock down his determined opponent. In the ninth round, he threw a massive left hand to finish Sanchez, sending Mayweather to his feet in celebration.

“It felt great to fight all of these rounds and get the work in,” het Davis gesê. “He’s a tough fighter and I learned a great deal tonight. It was a very good experience for me.
“I just listened to my corner and Floyd, took my time and broke him down. I want to fight again as soon as possible for a world title.”
Mayweather, who was very pleased with Davis’ performance, sees the young undefeated fighter’s future as bright.
“It’s always good to go out there and get the W,” Said Mayweather. “Hy is jong. He’s still learning. We’re looking forward to him being a world champion some day.”
Mayweather relished in the opportunity to promote one of the final fights of the year in his hometown of Las Vegas saying, “I’m so happy we were able to showcase on national television some of the talented fighters we have at Mayweather Promotions. Wen of verloor, I am proud of all of them.
“More importantly I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and thank for them supporting me, Mayweather Promotions and The Money Team throughout all of these years. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.”

Vir onmiddellike vrystelling

WESTBURY, N.Y.. (Maart 9, 2015) – Onoorwonne middelgewigtitel Antoine Douglas(16-0-1, 10 Uitklophoue) is een van die boks se vinnigste stygende vooruitsigte. Net 23 jaar oud, die aggressiewe en opwindende Washington, DC, moedertaal sal sy 2015 debuut hierdieVrydag, Maart 13 teen mede onoorwonne Thomas LaManna (16-0, 7 Uitklophoue) in die belangrikste gebeurtenis van ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie, woon op Showtime (10 namiddag. EN/PT, vertraag op die Weskus).

Douglas, wat 1-0-1 in twee ShoBox verskynings, is op soek om te bewys dat hy verdien die bynaam “Aksie” toe hy 'n teenstander in die gesig staar wat – soos homself – het nog nooit verloor of die doek aangeraak. Meer belangrik, hy mik om voort te gaan om enige twyfel oor sy toekoms te vee as 'n aanspraakmaker op 160 pond. Douglas het twee in 'n ry sedert boks 'n harde geveg 10-ronde meerderheid trekking met die voormalige wêreld titel uitdagerMichel Soro (23-1-1 gaan in) laaste Julie 25 op ShoBox.

Hier is wat Douglas te sê gehad het as wat hy berei vir 'n tempo 2015:

Hoe sou jy sê jou loopbaan gaan?
“My loopbaan is groot so ver gaan. Ek is baie tevrede met die tempo van my loopbaan. Ek is op die plek waar ons wil wees en in posisie vir 'n groot jaar.”

Nie een van julle is platgeslaan as 'n professionele. Verwag jy om dit te verander op Maart 13?
“Ek het regtig nie verwag dat iets gaan in 'n geveg. Ek wil net om te sit op 'n groot show en sit op 'n groot stryd. Gee dit my al.”

Jy het die moeiliker opposisie as 'n pro in die gesig gestaar. Hoe gefokus bly jy en nie verby 'n teenstander te kyk?
“Dit is die sport van die boks en een punch kan enige stryd verander. Enige vegter het die vermoë van die seer my sodat ek miskyk nie iemand. LaManna is onoorwonne. Hy was nog nooit verloor, so ek kan nie verby hom kyk. Enigiets kan gebeur daar.”

Wat weet jy van LaManna en watter soort stryd doen jy verwag?
“Ek weet dat hy is lank en het 'n lang bereik. Ek weet regtig nie wat om te verwag. Ek weet dat hy geneig is om te sluit om te probeer om te bly in 'n verdedigende posisie. Ek moet voordeel van daardie te neem deur te gaan op die aanval.”

Na wat jy as 'n jongeling oorkom het, Beskou jy jouself as 'n oorlewende? Het boks save jy?
“Ek sou myself net 'n oorlewende nie oorweeg. Ek sou myself 'n vegter oorweeg. Ek het 'n baie om te veg vir my jeug. Boks het my gehelp om deur my kwessies. Dit verskaf my met onderrig en dissipline. Rondom die ouderdom van 14 Ek het regtig het die beheer van my lewe en het 'n man. Ek het gevoel asof ek nodig myself as 'n man te behandel.

“Wanneer ek in 'n pleeghuis by 14, my twee voogde verdeel en ek was in 'n posisie waar ek nodig om 'n besluit om te kies watter pad om te gaan om te maak. Ek sou nie in die posisie is ek in vandag as ek nie die besluit wat ek gemaak maak. Daar was nie mense rondom my, om my om te wys in die regte rigting, Ek was op my eie. As daar mense is wat ondersteunend was van my, Ek het nie verwag dat dit. Ek was in die posisie dat ek besig was om die besluit uitsluitlik vir myself.”

Om ernstig hier – jou ma was in en uit van jou lewe grootword. Wat hou jou so lojaal aan haar na alles wat jy deur gewees het?
“Ek verstaan ​​die feit dat almal gaan deur dinge in hul lewe. Dit is maklik om hulle te vertel wat hulle moet doen. Dit neem 'n baie van jou trots te sit eenkant om bedagsaam van wat mense gaan deur wees. Te veel mense hulself eerste oor ander. Ek het 'n stap terug en besef dat alles gebeur vir 'n rede en kyk hoe ek uitgedraai vandag. My ma en ek het 'n goeie verhouding nou, want ek was begrip van haar situasie en het nie enigiets wat sy gedoen het doelbewus neem of dink dat dit is wat gerig is op my.”

Wat het jy van jou laaste ShoBox leer veg versus Soro)?. Jy sien nie as 'n positiewe of negatiewe?
“Ek sien die stryd met Soro as 'n positiewe. In daardie stryd het ek in gewig, die kleinste Ek het in 'n tyd gewees. Ek was by 155 in plaas van my gewone gewig van 160. Beurtkrag die pond het regtig 'n groot impak op die stryd en ek het besef ek is 'n middelgewig en gemaklik teen 160 voel.”

Dat die Soro stryd is bekend as 'n meerderheid trekking — was dat 'n teleurstelling vir jou? Hoe het jy uit die leer?
“Dit was 'n groot teleurstelling vir my 'n trekking te kry, maar ons weet nou nie kleiner as om te gaan 160. Dit is die belangrikste ding wat ons in daardie stryd geleer. Daar is so 'n ding as te gedissiplineer. Mense het opgemerk hoe maer ek was vir daardie stryd, maar as 'n gedissiplineerde vegter ek was vasbeslote om gewig te maak. Daar is baie van die teenstanders sal nie daardie stryd geneem het, maar dit was 'n geleentheid wat ek wou om voordeel te trek. Ek het gedink dit was 'n goeie besluit by die tyd, maar ek het 'n waardevolle les.”

Jy klop 'n man se tand in jou eerste ShoBox stryd (Jan. 17, 2014, versus Marquis Davis) en jou ma die show in jou laaste verskyning gesteel. Wat het jy in die winkel vir kykers op Maart 13?
“Ek bedoel, Ek is net die beplanning vir 'n groot stryd. Dit is al wat ek kan waarborg. Ek is nie een vir bygelowe [Vrydag Die 13de]. Ek kan net waarborg dit sal 'n groot stryd wees.”

Wat is jou grootste krag? Is jy op soek vir die uitklophou of doen jy dink jy kan gaan 10 rondes en kry die oorwinning wat manier?
“Ek glo ek kan bang vir 10 rondes, maar dat almal hang af van die teenstander. Sommige ouens is sterk genoeg wat die volle kan gaan 10 rondes. Ek gaan in en probeer om die mees bedrag van die skade te berokken uit die opening borrel.

“My grootste krag is my wil en vasberadenheid. Daar is nooit 'n oomblik waar ek wil opgee. Selfs as ek seerkry in die ring, Ek sal nie swig voor die vegter. Dit is die gedagtes wat deur my kop.”

Jerry Odom is ook op hierdie kaart en jy is albei uit die DC-area. Jy het gesê dat jy twee is soos kamermaats. Wat beteken dit om hom te hê op die kaart met jou?
“Dit beteken baie vir my. Ons kom van soortgelyke nederige begin en vir ons om te wees op dieselfde kaart is 'n historiese ons. Ons het albei dra dieselfde gemeenskaplike doel en ons het 'n baie wat ons veg vir. In staat is om dit te doen op so 'n groot stadium op Showtime en bewys al die naysayers verkeerd beteken die wêreld vir ons. Dit maak dit soveel meer die moeite werd en die vervulling van ons, veral as ons albei kry die oorwinning.”

Jou voorspelling?
“Ek voorspel 'n oorwinning. Ek het opgeleide en het baie hard gewerk vir hierdie en is gereed om op 'n show te sit.”

In die mede-funksie, onoorwonne hotklou Ismael Barroso (16-0-2, 15 Uitklophoue), El Tigre, Venezuela, sal skiet vir sy 13de agtereenvolgende oorwinning behaal toe hy die gesig staar Issouf “Volcano” Kinda (17-2, 7 Uitklophoue), van Bronx, N.Y., in 'n 10-ronde afval vir die bure liggewigtitel.
