QUINCY, Mass. (Maart 26, 2024) – Granietkin-promosies (GCP) het die bekendstelling van sy innoverende een-nag-toernooi aangekondig, “Graniet Kin Box Off,” Saterdagaand, Mei 11, met 'n kwartet teruggooi-supermiddelgewigvegters van Nieu-Engeland wat die hoofrol speel “Rumble at the Rink” pro-bokskaart, by Quincy Youth Arena in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Die kwartet van supermiddelgewigte sal in drie-ronde gevegte veg (4ste ronde van skielike dood indien nodig in die geval van gelykop) vroegaand en die twee wenners sal deurdring na die vyf-ronde hoofbyeenkoms (6ste ronde van skielike dood in die geval van gelykop) om die kampioen te bepaal van watter promotor Chris Traietti beplan om 'n jaarlikse toernooi te wees, wat deur die Massachusetts Boxing Commission goedgekeur is.

Al vier vegters is aggressief en guts wat kom baklei, wat vertaal word in 'n onvergeetlike aand vir aanhangers.

"Hierdie toernooi is 'n idee waarmee ek al sedert 2021 flankeer," het GCP-president Chris Traietti gesê. "Ek wou nie die sneller op dit trek totdat ek gevoel het asof sommige van die aanvanklike bekommernisse uitgewerk het en ek die regte vier ouens gehad het nie. Dit het nou alles bymekaar gekom! Daar is geen kombinasie van gevegte met hierdie vier wat nie reg van die openingsklok af aksiebelaai sal wees nie. Dit is iets wat Granite Chin beplan om jaarliks ​​te doen, so sodra hierdie eerste toernooi voltooi is, ons sal dit assesseer om te sien of enige verbeterings nodig is om een ​​gereed te kry 2025. Dankie aan die vegters vir hul passie om deel te wees van iets besonders soos hierdie en die Massachusetts-kommissie vir al sy hulp om my te navigeer om al die veiligheidskwessies aangespreek en hanteer te kry sodat dit goedgekeur kan word.”

Hier is 'n uiteensetting van die vier "Granite Chin Box Off"-uitdagers:

James "Pitbull" Perkins (13-1-1, 9 Uitklophoue), Lynn, MA

Perkins is die gunsteling voor die toernooi gegrond op sy professionele rekord en kwaliteit van opposisie. 'n Grafgraaf gedurende die dag, Perkins het verlede Augustus sy eensame verlies aan Steve Sumpter gely (9-0, 7 Uitklophoue), verloor 'n agt-ronde meerderheidsbesluit vir die vakante IBA America Super-middelgewigkampioenskap.

“Ek sien baie uit na hierdie geleentheid. Ek wou nog altyd in 'n toernooi veg, want ek het nooit in die Golden Gloves of enige amateurtoernooie geveg nie. Ek het besluit om pro te word ná my sesde amateur-geveg. Dit is selfs beter dat die geleentheid by 'n hokkiebaan gehou word, want ek het my hele lewe lank grootgeword met hokkie. Ek het op twee jaar oud begin skaats en deur die hoërskool gespeel (St. Mary's van Lynn).

“Ek is bereid om te hanteer wat ook al by my afkom. Ek weet wie al die vegters is, maar ek ken Clark baie meer as die ander vegters. Ek en Clark het al 'n paar keer op dieselfde kaart baklei. Ek hou van Clark en hy is 'n taai ou, maar as ons saam in die ring beland, dit sal alles besigheid wees. Ons sal nie vriende wees as ons daar is nie. Aan die einde van die nag, Ek is baie vol vertroue dat ek die wenner van die toernooi sal wees.”

Anthony "The Gentle Savage" Andreozzi (5-3, 2 Uitklophoue), Swansea, MA

’n Voormalige Massachusetts-middelgewigkampioen, Andreozzi het herstel van 'n wrede been-/enkelbesering wat meer as 'n jaar gelede opgedoen is, die afgelope Februarie teruggekeer 24ste binne 'n tweede ronde uitklophou van Igor Pessoa.

“Dis (toernooi) grense verbreek vir seker. Dit is die tipe toernooi waar emosionele beheer belangrik sal wees. Jy kan nie jou vrag in die eerste rondte van die eerste geveg blaas nie en steeds verwag om te slaag. Ek het 'n paar honderd stoei wedstryde en meer as 'n dosyn karate wedstryde. Ek is gewoond aan die emosionele beheer wat nodig is om doeltreffend twee keer in een nag geweld te doen. Ek kan nie wag!

"Ryan Clark is 'n wonderlike ou. Ons het rondtes gedoen voor my geveg met Kyle Cusick (April 22, 2022). Perkins het ses harde rondtes saam met 'n voormalige spanmaat van my gegaan. Bernard lyk na 'n goeie ou, dus niks persoonlik teen hom nie.”

Bernard Joseph (6-1, 4 Uitklophoue), Dorchester, MA

Joseph het sy laaste twee gevegte gewen en was aktief met vier gevegte in 2023 en dit sal sy tweede van 2024 wees. Die 33-jarige sal ook 'n tuisdorpvoordeel hê om in die nabygeleë Quincy te veg.

'Dit is anders (toernooi formaat), maar dit kom neer op die manier waarop ons oefen. Ek doen baie sparring en dit sal goed wees vir my. Dit kom neer op oefening en om my liggaam gewoond te maak aan die breek soos in sparring. Ek kan vier rondtes baklei en dan ses.

“Ek is nou ’n pro, veg teen ses ronders, maar nie met 'n lang pouse tussen gevegte soos in hierdie toernooi nie. Dit sal my tyd gee om te rehidreer en reg te maak vir die tweede geveg van die nag. Ek het 'n video van al die ander vegters gesien en ek praat niemand sleg nie, maar ek kan nie voel dat ek die gunsteling is om dit alles te wen nie.”

Ryan Clark (4-5, 2 Uitklophoue), Barrington, ME

'n Natuurlike middelgewig, Clark beweeg die meeste gewig in die toernooi op, iets waarvan hy deeglik bewus is, maar nie te bekommerd is nie. Nog 'n aksiebelaaide vegter, Clark se rekord is misleidend, want hy is so taai soos hulle kom en in staat om enige van die ander drie uitdagers te verslaan.

“Dis (toernooi) is 'n goeie idee. Chris (Traietti) is 'n slim ou, en hierdie toernooi sal vermaak vir die ondersteuners verskaf, en dit sal 'n uitdaging vir die vegters wees. Ek verwelkom sy idee. Ek veg gewoonlik by 160 en hierdie toernooi laat my veg in 'n bietjie groter gewigsklas. Ek hou van die uitdaging.

“Ek ken Tony en Perkins en ek respekteer hulle. Hulle is talentvol. Dit (toernooi) is soortgelyk aan sparring. Ek spaar vyf of ses rondtes, rondhang en gesels, kry 'n ander opleiding, en kom dan terug in die ring om weer te spartel. Dit is nie te anders nie.”

Bykomende wedstryde sal binnekort aangekondig word.

Kevin Ross het onlangs die promosie se eerste veergewiggordel by sy reeds indrukwekkende lys toekennings gevoeg.

Mexican Quartet announced for World Cup Boxing Series “4-Man Lightweight Tournament” February 24th in Mexico

thumbnail_IMG_3224.jpg
LAS VEGAS (Januarie 12, 2022) World Cup Boxing Series (WCBS) has finalized plans for its inaugural “4-Man Lightweight Tournament,” presented by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boks Promotions, with the semifinals on February 24ste at Palenque De La Expo in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexiko.

At its 59ste annual World Boxing Council (WBC) Convention in Mexico City this past November, the WBC committee approved to sanction the WCBS’ “4-Man lightweight Tournament,” created by CEO Terry Hollan and matchmaker Guy Taylor.

“We are extremely grateful for the WBC to sanction our upcoming ‘4-Man Lightweight Tournament,’” Taylor said. “The semifinals will be held February 24ste, the championship final June 2nd. The World Boxing Council will crown the winner of the ‘4-Man Tournament’ as its new WBC Latino Lightweight Champion.”


“The WBC hopes to be able to sanction more World Cup Boxing Series tournaments and create great regional champions to enter our world rankings and achieve their goals with the WBC,” WBC Latino President Alberto Guerra commented.


The WCBS “4-Man Tournament” semifinals matchups have been announced: Luis “Koreano” Torres (14-0, 9 Uitklophoue) vs. Rodolfo “Rudy” Flores (14-5, 6 Uitklophoue), Alberto “El Alacan” Ruiz (11-4, 8 Uitklophoue) vs. Isai “Gaga” Hernandez (11-2-2, 7 Uitklophoue).


Semifinal’s action will be contested in 8-round bouts, 10 rounds for the championship final. The WCBS will also feature one “overtime” round, indien nodig, to declare a winner in the event of a draw upon the conclusion of the scheduled distance.


WCBS will also be offering a “Fight of the Night” and “Knockout” bonuses to each contestant through the duration of its “4-Man Lightweight Tournament.”


The 20-year-old Torres is the favorite going into the tournament. The southpaw is a former WBC Youth Silver lightweight champion who has cruised through his first 14 opponents since making his pro debut in 2017. His last fight was an impressive 10-round decision over Guillermo Avila Godinez (19-11) this past December in Ciudad Obregon.


Blomme, 26, has won two of his last three fights. His most notable wins have been by decision versus Jesus Acosta Zazueta (16-5-2) and Jairo Lopez (18-5).
Augustus verlede, Ruiz upset 15-0 WBC Latino Lightweight Champion Jair Valtierra by way of a fifth-round knockout to capture the crown.
Hernandez has won five of his last six matches, excluding a “no-contest” in his last fight against 13-0-1 Francisco Lopez, in which Hernandez was holding his own until the fight was stopped due to an accidental headbutt.


“To have undefeated Luis Torres, Mexico’s top-rated lightweight prospect, and the last one to be WBC Latino champion, Alberto Ruiz, in this tournament should show everyone the quality fighters we are providing,” Taylor concluded. “Any man can be defeated on any given night and that’s the beauty of a tournament model.”

Roberto Dalmiglio, Comosa´s Head of Management Board, paid tribute to the GREATEST of all time. “Nobody will ever forget what Ali has achieved,” het hy gesê. “He was the GREATEST of all time because he defeated the best opponents out there. The World Boxing Super Series is all about the best fighting the best, and that is why we named the trophy after him.
With three high-profile signings confirmed and many more to come, the stage is set for an exciting tournament. “The quest for the Muhammad Ali Trophy has officially begun and we are thrilled to welcome two unbeaten world champions and a top-ranked challenger, who is a former champion, to the World Boxing Super Series,” Dalmiglio said. “They have accepted the ultimate challenge to determine the best cruiserweight in the world.
Season 1 of the World Boxing Super Series will feature the cruiserweights and super-middleweight divisions. In each weight class, eight top fighters will battle out a bracket-style elimination tournament. There will be four quarter-finals (September / Oktober 2017), two semi-finals (early 2018) and one final (Mei 2018), which makes for a total of 14 high-class fights. “We have received a massive amount of applications for both divisions,” said Kalle Sauerland, Comosa`s Chief Boxing Officer. “The best fighters are lining up to be in the tournament. Just like the fans, they love the format and the fact that there will only be one man standing at the end.
Richard Schaefer, Comosa`s Chairman of the Americas, bygevoeg: “We promised you the biggest names and champions in the divisions and here we are delivering. More names will follow shortly. We simply can’t wait to get the action started!”
The quarter-final pairings will be determined during the Draft Gala in Monaco in early July. In each weight class, the four top-seeded boxers (which will be determined by the Comosa Board) will select their quarter-final opponents from the four unseeded boxers. Once the pairings are set, the exact fight dates and venues will be announced. Details about the participants in the super-middleweight division will be revealed shortly.
