Determined Super Flyweight Jose Alfredo ‘Torito’ Rodriguez Not Letting Shoulder Injury Derail his Goal of Winning Second World Championship

Laisser un commentaire

Former interim WBA Light Flyweight Champion Jose Alfredo “Torito” Rodriguez says he’s disappointed that a dislocated shoulder ended his recent world title challenge, but promises to be back as soon as his rehab is complete.

En janvier 29 at the Cotai Arena, Venetian Resort in Macao, Chine, Rodriguez (32-5, 19 KOs) challenged IBF World Super Flyweight Champion Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas of the Philippines. 27-year-old Rodriguez injured his right shoulder in round two, but fought on courageously for five more rounds before the referee stopped the fight, per doctor’s orders before round eight.
It was a disappointing result for Rodriguez, whose goal was to win his second world title for the people of Mazatlan, Sinaloa, where he lives.
“I worked so hard for this opportunity,” said a dissatisfied Rodriguez. “I had all the confidence and training I needed. But then his head collided with my shoulder accidentally in round two and I felt a pop. I knew at that moment my fight was over. After that I was fighting a skilled champion using only one arm.”
Rodriguez says he’s already hard at work on healing and re-strengthening the injured arm, with a goal of returning for another shot at a belt.
“I will not let this bad luck stop me from my goal to win another world championship. Si quoi que ce soit, this only makes me want it more. I will be back to fight whoever I have to, to get back to a world title fight and this time, god willing, win.”
Rodriguez’s manager, José A. Acevedo of Free Agent Boxing Management, says he’s proud of his fighter, no matter the outcome of his last fight.

“Jose fought for 15 minutes against one of the division’s best fighters with a dislocated shoulder. The pain he must have fought through is unimaginable. I admire his dedication and courage. He is a true warrior. He will be back. Thank you to the IBF and the people of China and to the team of Jerwin Ancajas for the opportunity they gave us.”

Caribe Promotions loses rights to Shumenov-Dorticos WBA cruiserweight title fight; TGB Promotions awarded rights

Laisser un commentaire
LAS VEGAS (Janvier 31, 2017) – The World Boxing Association (WBA) has notified WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu and WBA Interim cruiserweight title-holder yunier Dorticos, as well as their representatives, that Caribe Promotions has lost its rights to promote the WBA mandated Shumenov vs. Dorticos title fight.
Dorticós’ organisateur, Caribe Promotions, originally won the Shumenov vs. Dorticos title fight rights last November with a winning purse bid of $350,001, which required a fight date dans 90 journées. Although rumored to be held in mid-February in either Miami or Las Vegas, Caribe’s ability and willingness to actually promote the fight came into question in January, 2017. The WBA demanded that Caribe confirm its intentions and even granted Caribe additional time to respond, but Caribe failed to file confirmation of a fight date with the WBA. Because Caribe was unable to confirm its intentions, the WBA had little choice but to award rights to the second-highest purse bidder, Tom Brown’s TGB Promotions.
“I last fought 21 mai and I have been in the gym since June because I was supposed to fight Lebedev in September,” said a terribly frustrated Shumenov. “But he backed out of the fight with me once again and I have been ready to fight since then. I signed a bout agreement to fight Dorticos on 11 févrierà Miami, but Dorticos and his promoter disappeared after I signed. They’re full of it; all they do is talk. I can’t wait to knock him out. I am waiting on my manager to call me right now to tell me the new fight date with TGB.”
Caribe Promotions has been forced to also forfeit its $35,000 purse bid deposit with 10-percent off the top going to the WBA and remainder ($31,500) distributed to Shumenov and Dorticos, respectivement, on a 75-25 percent basis due to its failure to promote the fight.
Shumenov (17-2, 11 KOs), fighting out of Las Vegas by way of Kazakhstan, fought last Mai 21, quand il a arrêté 15-1-1 Wright junior dans le 10e round of their Las Vegas fight for the vacant WBA World cruiserweight title. The WBA had ruled that the Shumenov-Wright winner would be the mandatory challenger for its “Super” champion, Lebedev, dans 90 journées, cependant, it later allowed unified cruiserweight titlist Lebedev (against Shumenov’s strong objections) to fight his International Boxing Federation (IBF) mandatory defense against challenger Murat Gassiev, effectively mandating an eliminator between Shumenov and Dorticos with that winner to fight the winner of Lebedev-Gassiev. Only days prior to the Lebedev-Gassiev title fight, Lebedev was inexplicably allowed to fight Gassiev without defending his WBA title, as only his IBF belt was on the line. Gassiev (24-0) vaincu Lebedev (29-3) by way of a 12-round split decision in Moscow to become the IBF cruiserweight world champion and Lebedev remains the WBA Super cruiserweight world champion, at least for now. The WBA is expected to rule on Shumenov’s objections to Lebedev’s fight against Gassiev, Lebedev’s status and whether Lebedev will remain champion having lost his last fight.
Dorticos has made false claims in the media that Shumenov, who had been waiting for the WBA to rule on his petitions to force Lebedev to fight him without further delay, had been avoiding him. It is ironic now that Dorticos’ own promoter first sought to delay and has now defaulted on the long-awaited confrontation by failing to promote the Shumenov-Dorticos title fight within the WBA deadline.
A former WBA Super light heavyweight world champion, the 33-year-old Shumenov is the first two-division world champion from a Soviet-bloc country.

This is the best I’ve ever seen him look. He is very determined to win this championship. Thanks to Manny Pacquiao and Sean Gibbons for this terrific opportunity.”

Fortuna revient avec un KO impressionnant sur Cabrera autrefois invaincu

Laisser un commentaire
Samedi nuit devant une foule réservée aux places debout au centre commercial Sambil à Saint-Domingue, République Dominicaine, ancien champion du monde des super poids plume Javier “Le Abejón” Fortuna est revenu à l'action avec une impressionnante éruption en deux tours de sa compatriote dominicaine Marlyn Cabrera.
Dans son premier combat depuis une défaite surprise en juin dernier contre Jason Sosa qui lui a coûté son championnat du monde WBA Super Featherweight, Fortune (30-1-1, 22 KOs) a chuté Cabrera deux fois au deuxième tour, provoquant l'arrêt. C'était la première défaite de Cabrera en tant que professionnel.
La victoire de Fortuna était l'un des trois combattants de boxe Sampson à gagner Samedinuit.
Jeison dominicaine invaincue de 21 ans “Banane” Chapelet (12-0, 9 KOs) détruit Carlos Jairo Cruz, ancien invaincu (maintenant 17-1, 11 KOs) en deux tours et le super poids plume Abraham de 22 ans “Super” Nova a déplacé son dossier à 3-0, 2 KO avec un KO au quatrième tour contre Willy Morillo.
Fortuna avait l'air vif lors de son retour, mettant la puissance et la vitesse explosives qui font de lui l'un des combattants les plus excitants de toute la boxe. Avec la victoire sur Cabrera dans les livres, l'ancien champion gaucher cherchera désormais à retrouver son statut de championnat.
Promoteur de Fortuna, Sampson Lewkowicz, dit que son combattant a deux options à considérer pour son prochain combat.
“Ensuite, nous chercherons soit un combat éliminatoire pour le candidat obligatoire de l'IBF pour combattre Jose Pedraza, soit nous chercherons à affronter le vainqueur de Jason Sosa vs. Stephen Smith à Monaco le Novembre 12,” a déclaré Lewkowicz. “Javier veut redevenir champion et il combattra n'importe qui pour y arriver.”
Chapelet, un récent signataire de Sampson Boxing à un accord promotionnel à long terme, est un ancien amateur avec une richesse de talent de boxe. Cruz n'avait aucune chance contre le cogneur basé à Saint-Domingue.
“Jeison est une future star et je suis heureux de l'avoir dans mon écurie,” continué Lewkowicz. “Je vais lui obtenir un visa pour combattre aux USA et payer ses impôts IRS, ce que je fais pour tous mes combattants.”
Nova, qui est né en Caroline, Puerto Rico, aux parents dominicains, est allé 167-11 avec 60 KO en amateur, gagner la 2014 Ressortissants américains, la 2014 Coupe du monde indépendante en République dominicaine, L'or au 2014 Tournoi Cheo Aponte, et la 2015 Qualifications olympiques. Il est également cinq fois champion de New York Golden Gloves.
“Abraham a fait de bons tours et a obtenu le KO sur un vétéran avec plus de combats,” a déclaré Lewkowicz. “Je suis satisfait de sa performance et des améliorations qu'il continue de montrer à chaque combat. C'est une perspective forte avec un avenir radieux.”
