La Comissió de Boxa llança Boxer Health & Web d'assessorament de seguretat

Leave a comment

 

Els britànics & Autoritat irlandesa de boxa (BIBA) avui ha anunciat el llançament del BIBA Health & Lloc web de l'Executiu de Seguretat – www.boxbiba.co.uk– que no només cobreix la Salut & Consells de seguretat, recursos i informació per als boxejadors, però també inclou informació i recursos de conscienciació sobre salut mental.

 

 

 

 

Des 2016 els britànics & L'Autoritat de Boxa Irlandesa s'ha esforçat per millorar tots els aspectes de Boxer Health & Seguretat, inclosa la designació d'una sèrie d'especialistes, inclòs el reconegut especialista en lesions esportives el professor Michael Graham MBChB; PhD; FRSM; BAIX; MICR; MCSFS; PCCMH; Expert APIL; FSB al Consell Assessor Mèdic de BIBA per desenvolupar procediments addicionals de seguretat i salut de Boxer, com ara les proves cognitives, tant com a part del seu procediment de llicència com de la medicina posterior a l'esdeveniment, així com dirigir un equip d'experts per dur a terme investigacions a llarg termini sobre les lesions al cap relacionades amb els esports de combat.

 

 

 

 

Al març 2017 els britànics & Irish Boxing Authority va ser la primera comissió a introduir Infra-Scanners, un escàner cerebral infrarojo portàtil que pot detectar signes de sagnat al cervell, en esdeveniments sancionats per ells mateixos, després d'una sèrie de lesions greus al cap dins l'esport, inclosa la mort de Mike Towell a 2016.

 

 

Un altre britànic recent & La iniciativa de l'Autoritat de Boxa Irlandesa va ser la presentació al gener 2018 de permetre begudes de rehidratació a la cantonada per a tot el concurs de vuit rondes i més, en un intent d'assegurar que els boxejadors romanguin hidratats en competicions més llargues, que en si mateix també pot reduir el risc de possible inflor o sagnat al cervell.

 

 

En anunciar la nova Sanitat & El conseller delegat i vicepresident executiu de BIBA al lloc web de Safety Executive, Gianluca Di Caro, va declarar;

 

 

“Al febrer ens vam subscriure a la Carta de Salut Mental per a l'Esport i l'Oci i com a part del nostre pla d'acció vam decidir crear un lloc web específic per conscienciar sobre la Salut Mental dins de l'esport..

 

 

Durant les discussions amb el comitè que ultrapassa les nostres polítiques de salut mental, em vaig adonar que, tot i que és essencial que tinguem la informació i els recursos disponibles sobre el tema tan important de la salut mental., que també hem de cobrir altres Sanitat igualment importants & La seguretat és important, especialment aquells que poden reduir els possibles riscos d'hemorràgies al cervell, així com fer una ullada seriosa a les regles actuals de l'esport per millorar la salut. & Seguretat dels que competeixen.

 

 

Un altre factor que ens va portar a decidir crear un lloc web d'HSE global va ser que el nostre equip d'especialistes líder actualment està duent a terme un projecte d'investigació a llarg termini sobre lesions al cap no només en boxa sinó en tots els esports de combat..

 

 

Tot i que estem només uns mesos en aquest projecte de recerca, ja hem destacat una sèrie d'àmbits, dins de la normativa vigent, que s'han de mirar seriosament i fer canvis, També destacarem aquests canvis proposats al nou lloc web d'HSE abans de fer pressió a totes les organitzacions de campionats mundials i regionals., les associacions de la indústria de la boxa i els esports de combat, així com altres comissions d'arreu del món per intentar aconseguir aquests canvis increïblement vitals a les regles introduïdes.

 

 

Els que governem l'esport hem de plantejar-nos ara fer els canvis molt necessaris a les regles, així com moure's amb els temps i adoptar les noves tecnologies, sobretot si aquests poden evitar més tragèdies, com crec que és nostre, les Comissions que Governen l'Esport la responsabilitat de garantir que la Salut & La seguretat dels que competeixen és del més alt nivell possible, no fer-ho seria perillós i irresponsable i fins i tot podria destruir el nostre estimat esport, bàsicament ajudant a presentar el cas, per la nostra pròpia inacció, per a aquells que volen prohibir la boxa professional".

 

 

Els britànics & Autoritat irlandesa de boxa (BIBA) Salut & Lloc web de l'Executiu de Seguretat – www.boxbiba.co.uk – s'ha posat en marxa avui i s'actualitzarà periòdicament per oferir als boxejadors un punt de referència d'informació i recursos inigualables.

Can Saunders aconsegueix la seva victòria més impressionant fins a la data sobre Lemieux?

Leave a comment

Billy Joe Saunders sortirà al ring el desembre 16 al Canadà com a campió vigent i defensor de la mitjana de la OMB, sent l'orgullós propietari d'un cinturó que va guanyar al desembre 2015 en derrotar el company de viatge Andy Lee.

 

Però des que va destacar l’irlandès Lee amb un èxit de decisió majoritària per convertir-se en campió del món al Manchester Arena, Saunders només l'ha defensat en dues ocasions, amb una decisió unànime triomfa sobre Artur Akavov i Willie Monroe Jr., més recentment.

 

Contra el joc rus Akavov, el títol mundial invicte no va ser ni molt menys impressionant i potser fins i tot afortunat d’aconseguir una decisió tan còmoda al final al Lagoon Leisure Centre, a terra escocesa.. La victòria contra el rival nord-americà Monroe Jr va ser molt millor, després d'haver assumit Dominic Ingle com el seu nou entrenador.

 

Però aquest darrer combat va seguir sent un assumpte trist i no va fer res per afavorir ni impulsar Saunders’ atraure a un públic més ampli, mentre treballava amb comoditat la punyeta sud-americana nascuda a Nova York. Durant la major part de la defensa del títol, amb prou feines el feien treballar, amb Monroe amb un pla de joc estranyament ineficient.

 

No obstant això, el jove de 28 anys afrontarà la seva prova de carrera més dura fins ara contra l'excampió de 160 lliures David Lemieux, un desafiament molt més greu que un Chris Eubank Jr, inexpert i juvenil, un indiferent Andy Lee i el lluny d’amenaçar Willy Monroe Junior.

 

El canadenc Lemieux, de gran èxit, entrarà a les cordes as the evens outsider in the latest boxing odds to prevail on home territory, a promising price for a fighter on a strong surge of victories of late. Since being viciously stopped in a gallant showing against the division kingpin Gennady Golovkin in October 2015, the 28-year-old has earned four consecutive wins, including two big knockouts of Glen Tapia and Curtis Stevens.


Of all the opponents Saunders has gone toe to toe with to date, none have possessed the punching power of Lemieux, and that could be a decisive factor come fight night. The latter home hope is promoted by Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy, who are seemingly keen to match the Canadian up with main cash cow Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez next year, rather than throw him in with ‘GGG’ una vegada més en una revenda molt esperada.

 

Tot i ser el favorit per imposar-se i mantenir el seu historial invicte en la que serà la seva primera aventura fora del Regne Unit en la seva carrera professional, sembla que les probabilitats estan realment apilades contra Saunders per a aquesta última trobada.

 

Ha estat evident, massa, que Saunders no compta amb la potència massiva capaç de mantenir un Lemieux de peu de flota lluny de les zones de perill durant tot el seu partit. L’artista Knockout Lemieux va produir el que finalment es podria votar com a aturada de l’any al març quan va posar brutalment Stevens’ llums apagades a la ciutat de Nova York.

 

Podria haver-hi un altre èxit de detenció cruel a les cartes del territori nacional?? Depèn de Saunders i Ingle executar el seu pròxim pla de joc perfectament per assegurar la que seria una victòria molt impressionant a la carretera, però sembla que serà una nit realment de proves al Quebec.

Decastro Vs Landaeta Showdown For IBF European Crown on October 21st

Leave a comment

ASSASSIN BOXING PROMOTIONS & MANAGEMENT

 

Aberdeen, Regne Unit. Dissabte 9º Setembre 2017.

 

 

British Super Middleweight Nathan ‘Nightmare’ Decastro (9-0-0 with 8KOs) is set to challenge Spain’s Ronny Landaeta (12-0-0 with 8KOs) pel vacant Federació Internacional de Boxa (FIB) European Super Middleweight European Championship at the Palacio de Deportes José María Martín Carpena a Màlaga, Spain on Saturday October 21st.

 

DeCastro, the current MBC International Champion, who is currently ranked #13 in the IBF Intercontinental ratings, spoke briefly on learning of the golden opportunity.

 

“I can’t put into words what this fight means to me, I am a fighting man and fighting is my life.

 

This is a golden opportunity that I will take with both hands and show everyone what I’m made of.

 

Huge thanks to Lee (Manager Lee McAllister) for sorting this, Què puc dir, I only signed with his Assassin Boxing Promotions and Management company a few weeks ago and already he’s already got me a shot at title.

 

To fight for any title is an honour, but to fight for a coveted IBF belt is something else.

 

I know this is not an easy fight, Ronny’s undefeated in twelve and has successfully defended his Spanish title twice against top class opposition, but then again he’s not fought me yet, I’m not called the Nightmare for nothing.”

 

Nathan’s Manager, Three Time World Champion Lee McAllister, then added

 

“This a cracking opportunity for Nathan to catapult himself in to the World rankings, exciting times ahead for him if he’s successful.

 

We know we are going into the Lions den as massive underdogs, but I will be making sure that Nathan has space in his bag for the belt when coming home.

 

Això no és tot, If all goes well in the next few days I hope to be announcing another Assassin Boxing Promotions and Management boxer challenging for an IBF title, here in the UK this time though”

La lluita també estarà disponible a www.klowdtv.com al canal AWE.
“Aquest serà un combat fantàstic amb Anthony Crolla i Ricky Burns que volen fer una declaració i tornar a la disputa pel títol.. Aquests dos campions tenen ganes de recuperar el cinturó, així que quan es trobin Octubre 7, serà una lluita al més alt nivell i qualitat i nosaltres a AWE estem encantats de portar aquesta lluita als aficionats als Estats Units.,” va dir Charles Arengada, President de AWE– Una gran oferta d'oci.
Crolla, 30 anys de Manchester, Anglaterra té un registre de 31-6-3 amb 13 nocauts. Va guanyar el títol de pes lleuger de l'AMB quan va emocionar els aficionats de la seva ciutat natal anotant un nocaut d'un cop al cos sobre Darleys Perez.. Crolla ha defensat el títol amb una lluitada arribada des de darrere l'aturada d'Ismael Barroso. Crolla va deixar caure el cinturó quan es trobava a l'extrem curt d'una decisió unànime de Jorge Linares. En la seva última baralla, Crolla va perdre la seva segona decisió consecutiva unànime davant Linares en una represa que va tenir lloc el dia 25 de març a Manchester.
Cremades de Coatbridge, Escòcia en té un rècord 41-6-1 amb 14 nocauts. Al setembre 4, 2010, Burns va guanyar el campionat mundial de pes lleuger júnior de l'OMB amb una decisió unànime de 12 rondes sobre Roman Martinez. Burns va fer tres defenses reeixides del seu títol, abans de passar al pes lleuger i capturar el títol de pes lleuger interí de l'OMB amb una decisió unànime de 12 rondes sobre Michael Katsidis.

Va defensar el títol una vegada amb una decisió unànime de 12 rondes sobre Kiryl Relikh abans de deixar caure el títol en el seu últim combat davant l'invicte Julius Indongo. 15 d'abrila Glasgow, Escòcia.
Col·laps les cotitzacions
“Tot el que vull fer és participar en grans baralles i Ricky Burns és campió del món de tres pesos, Li tinc molt de respecte,” va dir Crolla. “És un gran lluitador i només ha perdut contra els millors.
“Tinc ganes d'anar a la batalla i fer una exhibició per als aficionats.

“És en un bon moment per a tots dos. Una victòria ens torna a posar en la barreja dels títols, No diré que el perdedor no té on anar, però el camí de tornada serà difícil. Tots dos estem perdent els nostres títols mundials i l'incentiu és guanyar la lluita i tornar al marc..

“Podria tenir una baralla millorada a la targeta inferior d'algun lloc i un oponent més fàcil per tornar-me a les coses i després una gran lluita després, però això no m'interessa..

“Gairebé ha passat unes quantes vegades, fa uns anys a Super-Featherweight i de nou a Lightweight. Fa anys que se'n parla. Semblava que no passaria, però ara està bé que per fi ens trobarem.”

“Estic molt content que la lluita sigui a Manchester,” va dir Crolla. “Serà un dels primers espectacles des d'aquella nit horrible amb els bombardejos, així que significa molt tornar-hi. Molta gent m'ha demanat que torni a l'Arena per a la meva propera lluita. Però si hi ha una represa, Amb molt de gust aniré a Glasgow.

“La 24 rondes amb Linares em posa en bon lloc. No van ser baralles on vaig rebre una pallissa seriosa amb trets enormes que em rebotaven el cap enrere. A part de la caiguda, No estava amb cames tremolades. Vaig gaudir de l'experiència. Vaig fer millores en la preparació que no vaig poder mostrar la nit, cosa que és un mèrit de Jorge..

“No tinc res contra Ricky, és un bon noi. Però un cop soni aquesta campana, tots dos estarem disposats a cavar a fons. Feia temps que ho volia, No puc esperar.”
Cites de Burns

“Serà una gran baralla,” va dir Burns. “S'ha parlat molt durant les darreres setmanes, la resposta que vam rebre va ser increïble. La gent ho vol veure i ara l'acord està fet, estic desitjant-ho.

“No em molesta on lluito, hi haurà una bona gent que baixarà d'Escòcia. És una lluita per la qual els aficionats s'han anat aixecant i estic segur que apareixeran en els seus números.

“Quan vaig tenir títols mundials en pes súper ploma i pes lleuger, El nom de Crolla sempre s'esmentava però mai va passar. És un gran noi i un gran lluitador, No crec que tingueu gaire xerrada d'escombraries en l'acumulació. El millor home guanyarà la nit.

“Vaig passar al pes súper lleuger perquè va sorgir el títol mundial i hi havia l'oportunitat de fer història. He estat fent 140 lliures amb massa facilitat i he tingut prou avís per a aquesta lluita i, encara que aquests últims quilos sempre seran complicats, estic content de tornar a baixar a 135 lliures..

“Sempre li dic a Tony que crec que em queden dos o tres anys més. En aquesta etapa de la meva carrera no veig el sentit d'aconseguir una victòria fàcil. Prefereixo entrar amb un gran nom. Si guanyo, Vaig a avançar i espero obtenir una altra oportunitat per al títol. Així és com ho veig.

“Tothom em pregunta quant de temps em queda. La primera vegada que prenc massa cops de puny o vinc a entrenar i no en gaudeixo – Això és. No m'hi posaré. Sobretot amb l'entrenament a Essex per 12 setmanalment, però de moment en tinc moltes ganes.

“Li vaig dir a Eddie Hearn que sí 100 per cent amunt per això, però portem un parell de setmanes esperant del seu costat així que no sé què està passant.

“Crolla acaba de quedar curt amb Linares, tot i que va perdre dues vegades no va rebre una pallissa. Has d'aixecar les mans – Linares està molt bé.

“És una lluita per fer o trencar per a tots dos. Fins i tot abans de lluitar contra Di Rocco sempre deia que només volia fer-ho una lluita a la vegada. He estat el mateix durant tota la meva carrera, però creuar els dits una victòria aquí pot portar a coses més grans.

“Serà difícil, dura lluita. Nosaltres dos sortirem i hi anirem – els aficionats són els veritables guanyadors.”

“Quina lluita entre dos grans guerrers” va dir el promotor Eddie Hearn. “Tant l'Anthony com el Ricky es troben en llocs semblants en la carrera i saben que aquest absolut ha de guanyar. Conèixer aquests dos com ho faig serà una lluita fins a la campana d'arribada sense fer un pas enrere.. És una súper lluita britànica entre dos grans campions del món i aficionats al Manchester Arena i veure's a Sky Sports es pot esperar un esdeveniment meravellós.”

Flying Scotsmen McGivern, Wilson, McRorie and Reilly Score Big Wins In Paisley

Leave a comment

 

Informe: Gianluca Di Caro – Photo Courtesy of On The Ropes TV

En dissabte nit, at the On-X Centre in Paisley, the latest offering from Gerard Boyle-Welsh and his On The Ropes team took place. For those that have yet to attend an On The Ropes promoted event, this may be small hall boxing, but believe me the production quality of their events easily equals, if not betters, many of the larger Arena shows from far better known promoters.

It’s not often you see full blown light show, DJs, big screens, stunning promotional girls, full in house broadcast team not just filming the fights but also post fight interviews at small hall shows.

OKAY, enough about the production let’s get to the point of the report – The fights themselves.

First fight of the night see Coatbridge’s Ben McGivern against debuting Malcolm Richardson from Blackpool.

Right from the off this bout had the hallmark of a classic small hall fight written all over it. Both lads got straight down to business, attacking from all angles in some style. However around the first minute or so of the round local lad McGivern landed a massive shot to the body. Have to admit, the shot was so venomous I was mightily surprised, no that should be impressed, that Richardson made the count.

On the restart McGivern didn’t need the partisan fans in attendance or his esteemed corner man on the night, three time World Champion Lee McAllister, encouraging him to get back in hard and fast, he just did, landing further big shots to back his not yet fully recovered opponent on to the ropes, before letting rip with yet another massive right to the body with much the same effect as the first, Richardson valiantly tried to rise as the count reached its conclusion, but just failed to do so – Referee Liam Bonner waved the bout off and declared McGivern the victor on the one minute and twenty eight second of round one.

Next up was Perth’s Gary Wilson against debuting James Calveley from Liverpool.

To an outside observer this may have looked a bit of a mismatch, as Wilson towered over Calveley by a good six inches or so, but fight wise it was anything but.

First round see the protagonists locked in a gladiatorial battle that wouldn’t have been out of place at the Colosseum in Rome all those years ago – seriously was a cracking round that swung one way and then the other as they battled it out in centre ring.

Initially it was more of the same in the second that was until Wilson landed a peach of a shot to send the plucky Scouser down.

Calveley made the count easily but Wilson had no intention of letting his opponent off that easily and kept the pressure up with some nice combinations culminating in another huge right to send Calveley down again.

Calveley just about made it to his feet as the count reached eight, but on rising was very, very unsteady on his feet, so much so that referee Liam Bonner had no option but to stop the contest on the one minute fifty one second mark of the second round.

The third contest of the evening see Bellshill’s Barrie McRorie take on tough and very awkward Latvian Vladislavs Davidaitis.

The round started quite sedately with both men sussing the other out for the first minute or so, then it was all action to the final bell, as the two warriors let rip from every conceivable angle.

Round two was more of the same although to be fair both protagonists had settled into a slightly more realistic pace and were landing far better shots than in the first.

Round three see Davidaitis getting more and more success, don’t get me wrong McRorie was landing some real tasty shots of his own, but have to say that was the Latvians round.

The fourth and final round was a cracker, as in the previous rounds the two lads went at it hammer and tongs throughout, however the pace had taken its toll on Davidaitis and the final minute he was fighting his heart out just to survive the continual onslaught from the fired up Scotsman.

After four scintillating rounds Referee Liam Bonners scorecard showed McRorie victorious by a 39-37 points score line.

So onto the final bout of the night, which featured Bellshill’s Paddy Reilly against Vadims Konstantinovs.

Konstantinovs’ fight style is similar to fellow Latvian Vladislavs Davidaitis, as such Reilly had his hands full, albeit right from the opening bell, as unlike in the previous fight both protagonists had only one thought in the mind – attack, attack, attack.

It was a full on war, both lads were intent on throwing as many big punches as possible, at the expense of their defences I should add, which ultimately led to Konstantinovs being caught by a cracking shot, that sent him to the canvas around the end of the first minute.

The Latvian made a right mess of judging when to rise, whilst on one knee he kept looking between the referee and his corner as he awaited the signal, which he got back a fraction too late, rising only as referee Liam Bonner actually counted and signalled the eighth time, not just before.

Not only was Konstantinovs distraught when the referee signalled fight over but so was Reilly who was fired up and wanted the fight to carry on, well he’s a fighter and he wanted to fight so can understand that. Actual time of stoppage was one minute and forty-nine seconds of the first round.

What a great night, OK three of the four fights were over well inside the distance, but that can’t take away from the performances of the fighters or as I mentioned at the start, the quality of the promotion itself, I for one can’t wait for the next.

Khan and Newell in Sensational Knockout Form Reign Supreme in Bradford

Leave a comment

Informe: Gianluca Di Caro

The boxing scene in the North of England is really booming, especially around the cities of Leeds and Bradford. One of the main reasons for the increase of professional boxing events in the area is due to Bradford’s very own reigning World Boxing Union (UMC), Global Boxing Union (GBU) and World Boxing Confederation (CMB) World Champion Tasif Khan, who for the past couple of years has been working closely with Leeds based promoter Bridie Murtagh to bring stylish Boxing Dinner Shows to the area.

The latest of these took place at the Royal Taj, formerly the Connaught Rooms, in Bradford, which not only featured the aforementioned Tasif Khan himself in action, against Tanzania’s Julias Kisarawe, but also heralded the return of unbeaten Lightweight prospect Justin Newell from Leeds, who faced Latvian Aleksandrs Birkenbergs

Besides the local lads on the card, exciting Super Welterweight prospect Chris Wood from Middlesbrough was in action against Belfast’s Marty Kayes, however two top class International bouts scheduled for the event, a ten round Middleweight contest between Ishmael Tetteh and Philip Kotey, as well as an eight round Welterweight contest between Frank Dodzi and Justice Addy, failed to materialise due to visas for three of the boxers failing to arrive in time.

Whilst disappointing that these two fights didn’t go ahead, there was more than enough action to keep the fans happy, as promoter Bridie Murtagh arranged for two exhibition bouts featuring local lads to replace the Internationals ahead of the pro element.

First up was Chris Wood against Marty Kayes in a four rounder.

What a cracking start to the pro section, it was all action right from the opening bell, Wood was clearly fired up and went on the attack, closing down his far more experienced opponent before letting rip with a vast array of combinations at every conceivable opportunity. Kayes though is as savvy as they come, would cover up and seemed more than content to let the fired up youngster get his shots off before countering.

After four scintillating rounds the referee’s scorecard unsurprisingly read as a 40-36 points victory for the Teesider Chris Wood.

Next up was unbeaten Justin Newell in a six rounder against the very tough Latvian Aleksandrs Birkenbergs.

Newell was on fire, slick movement and very fast hands – Birkenbergs was no walk over and landed a cracking right hand about midway through the round, which lit the blue touch-paper for Newell, who went hard on the attack throwing some tasty big shots to body and head, which ultimately led to Birkenbergs taking a visit to the canvas. This kid’s tough, he was straight up and going toe to toe with Newell until the end of the round.

Round two was fantastic to watch, both lads giving no quarter – beautiful boxing from both, but Newell’s class proved just too much for the plucky Latvian as the Leeds lad piled some serious pressure in the second half of the fight before letting rip with big double handed salvos that sent Birkenbergs to the deck in the dying seconds of the round, no matter how hard he tried Birkenbergs just couldn’t make the count – great win on his return to the fray for Newell who won by TKO, the time would you believe 2 minuts i 59 seconds of round two.

The headline fight see WBU, GBU and WBC World Champion take on Tanzania’s Julias Kisarawe in a ten round non-championship contest, instead of the scheduled twelve round World Boxing Confederation (CMB) Super Flyweight title defence for Khan, due to lateness of the visa arriving for Kisarawe to complete the necessary Championship paperwork for the contest to be sanctioned by the WBC.

First round started fast and see Kisarawe taking the fight to Khan, however the Bradford lad stood his ground and picked his shots for maximum effect
More of the same in round two, except this time it was Khan that took the fight to Kisarawe.

Round three see Khan really start to get in a flow, regularly backing his opponent up before letting rip with wickedly fast double handed salvos, the power and speed in Khan’s shots finally had the desired effect and the super tough Tanzanian took a very brief trip to the canvas.

On the restart Kisarawe went hard on the attack, throwing seriously solid lefts in an attempt to do unto Khan what the Bradford lad did to him moments before (amb 14 KO wins on his record Kisarawe is very capable of doing just that)
Round four was an outright war and fascinating to watch, as was round five and six but for very different reasons. Khan stepped not just one gear but at least two or three and corralled the Tanzanian into a corner and just plain bombarded him with double handed Exocets throughout

More of the same in round seven but this time Khan managed to penetrate Kisarawe’s world class defence and sent him to the canvas for the second time.
Kisarawe managed to make the count but it was clear for all to see that he was in some distress, so much so that referee James Ancliff had no option but to stop the contest on the one minute twelve second mark.

What followed then was a good thirty minute celebration in the ring by Tasif Khan, his team AND many of the fans!!!!

Have to say the Khan/Murtagh co-promoted shows I’ve attended have always been top class, however this event, even though a couple of fights short, was by far the best one yet, the fights were all beautifully matched all action affairs, what more could any fan of the pugilistic arts wish for. Can’t wait for the next, which I hear is going to be in December.

PHILLY PROMOTER ARTIE PELLULO: “FLANAGAN-PETROV STEALS THE SHOW AND COULD BE FIGHT OF THE YEAR!”

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA

Filadèlfia, Pennsilvània / Manchester, Regne Unit (Març 30, 2017)–Legendary Philadelphia fight face Artie Pellulo lands in the UK early next week confident of adding a 45th world champion to his stellar CV.
La 61 year old Italian-American’s highly regarded lightweight Petr Petrov (38-4-2) makes a mandatory challenge to home hero ‘Turbo Terry’ Flanagan, the undefeated WBO king, at Manchester Arena en dissabte week and he looks like being frantic. BT Sport and BoxNation screen live in the UK.
Last Wednesday, Glynn Evans spoke to the Philly-based promoter.
It’s been extremely difficult to find any background info regarding Petrov’s personality. Can you enlighten us?
I’ve been promoting fighters for almost 30 anys, Incloent 44 world champions and I have to say that Petr is one of the nicer individuals I’ve come across; the type you’d have over your house. He’s just married the girl he’d been dating for a very long time. He’s a gentleman, a pleasure to work with.
Psychologically, how will he cope performing before thousands of baying Brits?
I’ve consistently gone on record as saying that the British fight fans are terrific. You’ll recall I had dealings with Ricky Hatton. They support their heroes like no other. But I guarantee that the crowd will not adversely affect Petrov.
Being on the road is actually like being at home for him because he’s never ever fought in Russia and hasn’t featured in his adopted homeland of Spain for five years. He’s won all six of his fights in the US and, before that, he competed in Germany, Argentina and Montenegro. I guarantee that facing a partisan crowd in Manchester will not affect his job. De fet, it will energize him, excite him.
And I’ve no problem whatsoever with the officials in the UK. Matter of fact, I won my first world title in Britain when Otis Grant outpointed Ryan Rhodes in his hometown of Sheffield for the vacant WBO Middleweight title way back in (Desembre) 1997.
Abans d'això, my fighter Tyrell Biggs was officially ahead on the referee’s card before Gary Mason knocked him out on a Mickey Duff show at the Royal Albert Hall (Octubre 1989) and John Thompson was up on the cards before Liam Smith put him to bed at this very venue 18 months back. You always get a fair shake with the Brits.
What are Petrov’s qualities as a fighter?
I discovered him during his involvement in the ESPN Boxcino Lightweight tournament in early 2014 i, confia en mi, between the ropes, ell és el veritable negoci. You only have to watch his tapes to appreciate that he’s relentless, intel·ligent, can box or punch and he’s blessed with a very good eye. Petr has a real understanding of what is going on in the ring at any given moment and he can adopt accordingly. He gives a 110% effort every time.
What is your assessment of champion Flanagan? What does Petrov need to be mindful of?
I was ringside the night Terry Flanagan hammered Diego Magdaleno in two rounds because John Thompson challenged Liam Smith that night and what I saw was a very, very good fighter. Terry’s a smart southpaw who’s very tough and keeps coming. Sense dubte, he’ll be looking to extend his very impressive unbeaten streak.
What course did you see the fight taking? What key factor will determine the winner?
This fight steals the show and could well be Fight of the Year, seriously. It’s that good a match up. Both Terry and Petr are TV friendly and fan friendly. It’s gonna be great theatre.
There’s no main factor that distinguishes one over the other. It’ll be about how two fighters at the very top of their games handle the pressure and stay with their game plan.

Another Liverpool fighter, Ellis Hampson (6-3, 1NC), will also feature on the card in a 160lb catchweight bout against Perry Goodwin (6-4).

And new Cage Warriors signing Dean Trueman (7-3) will look to follow up his spectacular 12-second KO win at CW79 with another impressive victory when he takes on undefeated Swede Frantz Slioa (4-0) en un concurs de pes ploma.

“We’ve already sold more tickets for this event than we did when more than 3,000 people watched Paddy win the belt at the Echo last year,” said Cage Warriors president Graham Boylan.

“This show is all set to showcase the very best of Liverpool’s fighting talent, and no city supports their own more passionately than the city of Liverpool.

“This is shaping up to be the biggest show we’ve ever done, and I’m expecting a special atmosphere in the Echo Arena on April 1.”
