QUINCY, Mass. (Mart 26, 2024) – Granit Chin promocije (GCP) je najavila pokretanje svog inovativnog jednovečernjeg turnira, “Granitna kutija za bradu Off,” u subotu uveče, Maj 11, sa kvartetom povratnih boraca super srednje kategorije iz Nove Engleske na čelu “Rumble at the Rink” profesionalna boksačka karta, u Quincy Youth Areni u Quincyju, Masačusets.

Kvartet supersrednje kategorije boriće se u dvobojima od tri runde (4th runda iznenadne smrti ako je potrebno u slučaju neriješenog rezultata) rano uveče i dva pobednika će se plasirati u glavni događaj od pet kola (6th runda iznenadne smrti u slučaju neriješenog rezultata) kako bi se odredio šampion onoga što promoter Chris Traietti planira da bude godišnji turnir, koju je odobrila Bokserska komisija Masačusetsa.

Sva četiri borca ​​su agresivni i odvažni koji dolaze da se bore, što se pretvara u nezaboravno veče za fanove.

“Ovaj turnir je ideja s kojom flertujem od 2021. godine”, rekao je predsjednik GCP Chris Traietti. „Nisam želeo da povučem okidač sve dok se nisam osetio kao da sam rešio neke od početnih briga i imao prava četiri momka. Sada se sve skupilo! Ne postoji kombinacija borbi sa ova četvorica koja neće biti puna akcije od samog početka. Ovo je nešto što Granite Chin planira da uradi svake godine, pa kada se ovaj inauguracijski turnir završi, mi ćemo ga procijeniti da vidimo da li su potrebna ikakva poboljšanja da bismo ga pripremili 2025. Hvala borcima na njihovoj strasti da budu dio nečeg posebnog kao što je ovo i Komisiji Massachusettsa na svojoj pomoći u usmjeravanju na rješavanje i rješavanje svih sigurnosnih pitanja kako bi to moglo biti sankcionisano.”

Ovdje je pregled četiri “Granite Chin Box Off” izazivača:

James “Pitbull” Perkins (13-1-1, 9 KOs), Lynn, MA

Perkins je favorit prije turnira na osnovu njegovog profesionalnog rekorda i kvaliteta protivnika. Grobar tokom dana, Perkins je pretrpio svoj jedini poraz prošlog avgusta od Stevea Sumptera (9-0, 7 KOs), izgubivši odluku većine u osam rundi za upražnjeno prvenstvo IBA Amerike u super srednjoj kategoriji.

“Stvarno se radujem ovom događaju. Oduvijek sam želio da se borim na turnirima jer se nikada nisam borio na Zlatnim rukavicama ili bilo kojim amaterskim turnirima. Odlučio sam da postanem profesionalac nakon svoje šeste amaterske borbe. Još je bolje što se događaj održava na hokejaškom klizalištu jer sam cijeli život odrastao igrajući hokej. Počeo sam da klizam sa dve godine i igrao sam sve do srednje škole (St. Mary's of Lynn).

„Spreman sam da se nosim sa svime što mi padne na pamet. Znam ko su svi borci, ali ja znam Clarka mnogo više od ostalih boraca. Ja i Clark smo se borili na istoj karti nekoliko puta. Sviđa mi se Clark i on je čvrst momak, ali ako završimo zajedno u ringu, sve će to biti posao. Nećemo biti prijatelji kada budemo tamo. Na kraju noći, Veoma sam uvjeren da ću biti pobjednik turnira.”

Anthony “The Gentle Savage” Andreozzi (5-3, 2 KOs), Swansea, MA

Bivši prvak Masačusetsa u srednjoj kategoriji, Andreozzi se oporavio od brutalne povrede noge/skočnog zgloba zadobivene prije više od godinu dana, vrativši se prošlog februara 24th u drugoj rundi nokautom Igora Pessoe.

„Jeste (turnir) sigurno rušenje granica. To je tip turnira na kojem će emocionalna kontrola biti važna. Ne možete isprazniti svoj teret u prvoj rundi prve borbe i još uvijek očekivati ​​da ćete uspjeti. Imam nekoliko stotina rvačkih mečeva i preko desetak karate mečeva. Navikla sam na emocionalnu kontrolu neophodnu da efikasno izvršim nasilje dva puta u jednoj noći. Ne mogu čekati!

“Ryan Clark je sjajan momak. Odradili smo runde prije moje borbe sa Kyle Cusickom (April 22, 2022). Perkins je prošao šest teških rundi sa mojim bivšim saigračem. Bernard izgleda kao dobar momak, tako da ništa lično protiv njega.”

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

Joseph je dobio svoje posljednje dvije borbe i bio je aktivan u četiri borbe 2023 i ovo će mu biti druga u 2024. Ovaj 33-godišnjak će također imati prednost u domaćem gradu boreći se u obližnjem Quincyju.

“Drugačije je (format turnira), ali sve se svodi na način na koji treniramo. Radim dosta sparingova i to će mi dobro doći. Svodi se na trening i navikavanje tijela na pauzu kao u sparingu. Mogao bih se boriti četiri runde, a zatim šest.

„Sada sam profesionalac, boreći se sa šest krugova, ali ne sa dugom pauzom između borbi kao na ovom turniru. To će mi dati vremena da se rehidriram i spremim za drugu noćnu borbu. Vidio sam video sa svim ostalim borcima i nikoga ne omalovažavam, ali ne mogu da ne osjećam da sam favorit za pobjedu.”

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

Prirodna srednja kategorija, Clark napreduje u najvećoj težini na turniru, nešto čega je dobro svjestan, ali nije pretjerano zabrinut. Još jedan borac pun akcije, Clarkov dosije je pogrešan jer je jak koliko god oni dolaze i sposoban pobijediti bilo kojeg od ostala tri izazivača.

„Jeste (turnir) je odlična ideja. Kris (Traietti) je pametan momak, a ovaj turnir će pružiti zabavu za navijače, i to će biti izazov za borce. Pozdravljam njegovu ideju. Obično se tučem 160 a na ovom turniru se borim u malo većoj težinskoj kategoriji. Sviđa mi se izazov.

“Poznajem Tonyja i Perkinsa i poštujem ih. Oni su talentovani. Ovo (turnir) je sličan sparingu. Spariram pet ili šest rundi, visi okolo pricajuci, uci u neku drugu obuku, a zatim se vratite u ring da ponovo sparingujete. Ovo nije previše drugačije.”

Uskoro će biti objavljeni dodatni mečevi.

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

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

At its 59th 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 24th, 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 KOs) vs. Rodolfo “Rudy” Flores (14-5, 6 KOs), Alberto “El Alacan” Ruiz (11-4, 8 KOs) vs. Isai “Gaga” Hernandez (11-2-2, 7 KOs).


Semifinal’s action will be contested in 8-round bouts, 10 rounds for the championship final. The WCBS will also feature one “overtime” round, ako je to potrebno, 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.


Cvijeće, 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).
Last August, 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.”
