Velasco kijkt uit naar oorlog met Prograis

Laat een reactie achter

Aankomende superlichtgewicht uitdager Juan Jose “De Pitbull” Velasco zegt dat hij blij is dat hij zaterdag wordt geconfronteerd met een vechter die wordt bestempeld als een potentiële nieuwe ster in het boksen, Juli 14.

 

 

 

Velasco (20-0, 12 KO), uit Buenos Aires, Argentinië, zal interim-WBC-wereldkampioen superlichtgewicht Regis Prograis uitdagen in de Lakefront Arena in Prograis’ geboorteplaats van New Orleans, Louisiana.

 

 

 

De linkshandige Prograis werd afgelopen maart kampioen met een opvallende TKO 2 over capable former champion Julius Indongo.

 

 

 

“I am glad he is being called a new star,” said Velasco. “I only want to fight the best, so I can become the best myself. He’s a very good fighter and I know it will be a true war.”

 

 

 

31-year-old Velasco says he’s in great shape, training in Miami, and looks forward to making his dream of a world title come true.

 

How is training going?

Training is going fantastic! I am in Miami at Caicedo Sports Training Camp, working with Herman Caicedo. Herman is relentless. As soon as he picked me up, traveling from Argentina to Miami. He took me straight to the track and ran drills for an hour.

 

Talk to me about the opportunity to fight for world championship?

Het is een droom die uitkomt. My whole pro career it has been my dream. I found out I was fighting for the championship immediately after my last fight. Mijn promotor, Sampson Lewkowicz, informed me of the opportunity and told me I would be training in Miami with Herman.

 

You haven’t left your home country to fight much, are you going to be your usual self fighting basically in his hometown in the US?

Niet Doen, I haven’t been out much and it’s an honor to be fighting in the USA. I don’t know any other way than to be myself in a fight. Herman is improving on my skills and adding some details to it. Herman and I have gelled immediately. I am sure, due to his experience with champions, that he knows how to adapt to individuals. Fighting in his hometown is on him. I have zero pressure and can only gain fans fighting there.

 

Why will you win this fight?

I will win this fight because I am hungry to be a champion. I’m hungry to be where he is at and hungry to better my family.

 

Describe yourself as a fighter for American fans who haven’t seen you yet.

I am a boxer puncher who can adapt to what is in front of me. Are you doing anything different in training for this fight? Answer: ja, the major difference is training with Herman Caicedo in Miami. He has had great success with lots of fighters and one of the few coaches to develop a fighter into a champion from pro debuts. He is a teacher. I look forward to much success with him.

HUMBERTO VELAZCO IN TROUBLE WITH GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO FOR PULLING OUT OF FIGHT

Laat een reactie achter

AGUASCALIENTES, MX (April 30, 2018) – Super middleweight prospect, Humberto “Tito” Velazco (19-1-1, 13 KO), die wordt gepromoot door Sugar Promotions, is taking heat from the Government of Mexico for pulling out of his scheduled fight with Devis Caceres (24-8, 19 KO), that was supposed to take place this past Saturday in Aguascalientes, MX.

 

 

 

Velazco was set to face Devis Caceres (24-8, 19 KO) for the vacant WBC Silver Super Middleweight Title at the “Feria de Campeones” card promoted by Sugar Promotions, but pulled out at the last minute, putting the entire card in jeopardy.

 

 

 

“We have programs here in Mexico that are funded by the government of Mexico in Aguascalientes,” zei Dr. Lorenzo Soboranes Maya, director of Latino public relations for Sugar Promotions in Mexico. “One of which was this weekend’s “Feria de Campeones” boxing event that took place at the Plaza de Toros San Marcos arena. After signing the contract, Velazco pulled out of the fight, leaving everyone involved scrambling for a replacement. This kind of conduct will not be tolerated, and legal action will be addressed. Velazco will be prosecuted by the full extent of the law, and he is not welcome to fight in this city ever again.”

 

 

 

“As Velazco’s promoter, I did everything on my end to get him a shot at the vacant WBC Silver Super Middleweight Title,” zei Oscar Vazquez, CEO of Sugar Promotions. “We came to an agreement on what his purse would be, he signed the contract, and then pulled out of the fight in the final days leading up to the fight. I have Velazco under contract. If Velazco thinks he’s going to fight with another promoter, that promoter better think twice, as I have my lawyers ready to file a lawsuit with anyone trying to promote him.”

Unified Welterweight Champion Keith Thurman Relinquishes WBC title Due to Injury Rehabilitation

Laat een reactie achter

Will Remain WBA Champion and Fight for

WBC Crown Once He Has Fully Recovered

CLEARWATER, FLORIDA (April 24, 2018) Unified welterweight champion Keith Thurman has voluntarily relinquished his WBC title while he recovers from the effects of elbow surgery last year and a hand injury he suffered in training camp last month.

 

 

 

After speaking with WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman recently, Thurman decided that he would relinquish the title and open the way for former champions Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter, the two leading contenders for the WBC title, to fight each other for the championship while Thurman made a full recovery from his injuries.

 

 

 

“Due to my rehabilitation from my injuries, I agreed to relinquish my WBC title at this time. I continue to rehab my hand and elbow and I look forward to getting back in the ring this summer. This is a temporary setback and I will be the unified champion once again and look forward to winning back my WBC title as soon as possible,” Said Thurman.

 

 

 

“Keith Thurman unfortunately has suffered two consecutive injuries that have kept him out of the ring after his sensational victory over Danny Garcia and he has graciously relinquished his title, and the WBC has mandated that Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter will fight for the title,” said Mauricio Sulaiman. “Keith will have a direct path to fight for the title once he has healed just as Vitali Klitshcko and other WBC champions have done in the past. Keith is a tremendous athlete, champion and role model. The WBC will support him completely during this difficult time. ”

 

 

 

Garcia (34-1, 20 KO), a former unified champion at 140 pounds and the former WBC welterweight champion, lost the WBC title to Thurman by 12-round split decision in 2017. He bounced back with a knockout victory over former champion Brandon Rios in February. The WBC had made that fight a title elimination match, which put Garcia in line to fight Thurman again for the title.

 

 

 

Slijtage (28-2-1, 17 KO), a former welterweight champion, lost a close 12-round decision to Thurman in 2016. He became the mandatory challenger for the WBC title when he knocked out Andre Berto last year. He maintained his status with a 12-round decision over Adrian Granados in November.

 

 

 

The 29-year-old Thurman (28-0, 22 KO) has been plagued by a string of injuries the last two years.

 

 

 

Thurman injured his neck in a car accident in February 2016, which delayed his match against Porter by three months. When they met Thurman defeated Porter by unanimous decision on June 25.

 

 

 

He defeated Garcia by split decision in a welterweight unification match on March 4, 2017. A month later he had major surgery on his right elbow to remove bone spurs and calcium deposits. He is still in rehabilitation from that surgery.

 

 

 

Thurman injured his hand hitting the heavy bag last month and aggravated the injury sparring with some amateurs at his gym in St. Petersburg, Florida. An MRI revealed bruises to the metacarpal bones in the hand, which also has extensive swelling. Thurman can’t have any impact with the hand for at least 8 weken, which added another delay to his ring return.

 

 

 

He now hopes to return to the ring in the late summer or early fall.

DEADWOOD, S.D. (Maart 9, 2018) – Undefeated 140-pound contender Regis Prograis scored a sensational second-round knockout over former unified world champion Julius Indongo to capture the Interim WBC Super Lightweight title Vrijdag night on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION from Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, S.D.

 

 

 

 

Met de overwinning, PROGRAMMA'S (21-0, 18 KO) will now likely face the winner of next week’s Amir Imam (gerangschikt No. 1 WBC) and Jose Ramirez (gerangschikt No. 3 WBC) matchup for the currently vacant WBC world title belt. PROGRAMMA'S, van Houston bij wijze van New Orleans, was dominant from the opening bell and has now scored knockouts in 14 van zijn laatste 15 gevechten.

 

 

 

 

“I had to put on a show for SHOWTIME, for Deadwood, and for all my fans in Houston and New Orleans and just the whole division,"Zei Prograis. “I had to put on a show for everybody. I am now the man at 140.”

 

 

 

 

In the final seconds of the opening round, Prograis landed a fierce jab that knocked Indongo (22-2, 11 KO) to the canvas. In de tweede ronde, Prograis continued to attack the much taller Indongo, and floored him for the second time with a huge left hand. With a wobbly Indongo returning to his feet, Prograis continued the onslaught and immediately attacked his prone opponent and knocked him down for a third time in the fight. Referee Ian John-Lewis gave Indongo one more opportunity to remain in the fight, but Prograis ended it once and for all with a third knockdown in the round via a left hook and fourth in the fight at 2:54 of round number two.

 

 

 

 

Following the knockout, SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood spoke to the rising star in the wide-open and competitive 140-pound division. Farhood was especially impressed with Prograis, who was making his fifth SHOWTIME appearance.

 

 

 

 

“It was an awesome performance,” said the International Boxing Hall of Famer and noted boxing historian Farhood. “I was surprised he finished Indongo as quickly as he did and as emphatically as he did.

 

 

 

 

 

“I think now boxing fans know that this guy deserves to be rated among the top three or four in the 140-pound division. Because it was a such an emphatic win, all the other fights at 140, whether it’s morgen fight between Mikey Garcia and Lipinets, you got to feel like they have to answer to Regis. He deserves it.”

 

 

 

 

The WBC No. 2 ranked fighter at 140 pounds immediately turned his attention to a possible matchup with the winner of next week’s Imam-Ramirez matchup.

 

 

 

 

“I want the real title now, and I don’t think those two dudes will fight me after tonight,"Zei Prograis. “Indongo only had one loss to Terrence Crawford, the pound for pound best, and I stopped him a round before Crawford did. I don’t see anybody trying to fight me right now.”

 

 

 

 

 

In an IBF Junior Welterweight eliminator, Ivan Baranchyk (17-0, 11 KO) thrilled fans at The Deadwood Mountain Grand with his all-action style, stoppen Petr Petrov (38-6-2, 18 KO) bij 1:12 of round number eight.

 

 

 

 

Baranchyk, making his sixth appearance on SHOWTIME, was the much stronger, more aggressive fighter than his game but ultimately overmatched opponent, who showed commendable toughness and resiliency to stay in the fight. Baranchyk knocked Petrov to the canvas with the very first punch of the fight, and scored a second knockdown in the second round with a barrage of powerful punches.

 

 

 

 

With a bruised and battered Petrov trapped against the ropes in the eighth round, referee Mark Nelson stopped the fight. Met de overwinning, Baranchyk moves a step closer to becoming the mandatory challenger for the winner of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event on Saturday night between 140-pound IBF world titlist Sergey Lipinets and lightweight titleholder Mikey Garcia.

 

 

 

 

Baranchyk, who out-landed Petrov 159-118 in total punches and 94-76 in power punches, was pleased with the improvements he showcased tonight.

 

 

 

 

“I thought I fought a more controlled than in the past and something my new coach has been helping me with,” said Baranchyk, who is currently ranked No. 4 in the IBF 140-pound division. “I knew I had to keep punching to the body, punching to the body. And I did that well tonight.

 

 

 

 

“I was surprised they stopped the fight when they did. I felt like I won every round and controlled the fight. I knew I won the fight. It was a good fight for me.”

 

 

 

 

In de opening aanval van de uitzending, zwaargewicht vooruitzicht Junior Fa (14-0, 8 KO), van Auckland, Nieuw Zeeland, kept his unbeaten record intact with a majority decision victory over Detroit’s Craig Lewis (14-2-1, 8 KO). The judges scored the eight-round fight 76-76, 78-74, 79-73.

 

 

 

 

Fa, who twice beat fellow New Zealand native and current WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker in the amateurs, was the more active fighter against the 33-year-old former collegiate basketball player Lewis, who took the fight on just two weeks’ notice. Fa started the fight quickly, throwing a fight-high 53 punches in round one and a 24-13 lead in overall connects in the first two rounds. As the fight wore on, Fa’s pace slowed and Lewis was able to grow into the fight, out-landing Fa 50-45 in rounds five through eight, to close the overall gap to 82-81 in favor of Fa.

 

 

 

 

Fa, who made his SHOWTIME debut in November with a first-round knockout of Freddy Latham, was unhappy with his performance despite the win.

 

 

 

 

“I’m happy I was able to get the decision, but I wasn’t happy with my performance at all,” said Fa. “If I had to give myself a grade, it would be an F. I fought with too much emotion the first few rounds and that threw me off a little bit.

 

 

 

 

“I was pretty surprised with the one judge who saw it even. I saw him getting tired but I was just flat tonight. I can learn a lot from this fight and where I went wrong and what not to do in my next fight.”

 

 

 

 

Lewis felt that taking the fight on short notice played a role in the outcome.

 

 

 

 

“I needed a little more time to train as my conditioning fell off a bit towards the end,” said the former National Golden Gloves gold medalist Lewis. “But overall, I was happy with my performance, I thought it was probably a draw.”

 

 

 

 

In niet-televisie undercard actie, ongeslagen zwaargewicht vooruitzicht Trey Lippe Morrison (14-0, 14 KO), the son of former heavyweight world champion Tommy Morrison, gestopt Oswaldo Ortega (3-8, 1 KO) with a third-round (1:18) technical knockout in his first fight in 15 maanden since suffering a hand injury.

 

 

 

 

Ongeslagen 2016 United States Olympian Charles Conwell (7-0, 5 KO) earned a unanimous decision victory over Mexico’s Juan Jesus Rivera (28-20, 18 KO). The six-round junior middleweight bout was scored 60-53 on all three judges’ scorecards.

 

 

 

 

Vrijdag tripleheader will replay on Saturday, Maart 10, bij 5:30 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® en Showtime ANYTIME®.

Petrov, who has not fought in eleven months since dropping a decision to undefeated WBO Lightweight champion Terry Flanagan, was training for a return bout in his native Spain before getting the call last weekend after Anthony Yigit fell out of the fight with Baranchyk.
Petrov arrived at the Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, South Dakota, and he is confident going into this important fight.

What made it easy for him to take the fight, was the opportunity to fight for the number-2 position in the IBF.
“My goal is to be a world champion, and this fight gets me close to that. I don’t know anything about Baranchyk, but I know he has never fought anyone with my experience, and combined with being on the stages where I have competed will prove to be the distance op vrijdag nachts.”
The Baranchyk (16-0, 10 KO) vs. Petrov (38-5-2, 19 KO) bout is promoted by DiBella Entertainment, in association with Fight Promotions Inc., Holden Productions & Banner Promotions.

Het was tot nu toe misschien wel het koudste weekend van het jaar in het VK, maar de ijskoude omstandigheden op zaterdag 's Nachts weerhield de fans er niet van om de lokale held Tasif Khan te steunen toen hij geconfronteerd werd met de Mexicaanse kampioen en voormalig WBC-wereldtitel Challenger Juan Lopez Martinez op de Bridie Murtagh (Saorise-promoties) gepromoot Dinner Event in de Royal Taj (voorheen de Connaught Rooms) in Bradford.

 

Het belang van het gevecht ging duidelijk niet verloren bij een van Khan's fans, hun man heeft misschien al World Boxing Union beveiligd (WBU), Global Boxing Union (GBU) en World Boxing Confederation (WBC) Wereldkampioenschappen de afgelopen jaren, maar een overwinning op zaterdag zou dat Khan betekenen, die al hoog aangeschreven staat bij de International Boxing Federation (IBF) in hun Intercontinental Ratings, zou in aanmerking komen om een ​​uitdaging aan te gaan voor het prestigieuze IBF Intercontinental Championship in de zomer als eerste stap om een ​​potentiële toekomstige uitdaging aan te gaan voor de felbegeerde IBF World Crown.

 

Voorafgaand aan het eerste gevecht van de nacht, Ceremoniemeester Sam Gorman gaf een ontroerende lofrede aan de Britten & Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) Vice-President (Schotland) Kenny Barr, die op tragische wijze in december op de leeftijd van net is overleden 34, die werd gevolgd door een permanent eerbetoon aan Ten Bell.

 

Oké, laten we nu naar het hoofdevenement gaan, een tien-ronde niet-kampioenschappen Super Flyweight wedstrijd tussen de eerder genoemde Tasif Khan en Juan Lopez Martinez.

 

De sfeer was elektrisch toen de protagonisten hun weg naar de ring vonden met de entourages ter ondersteuning van het zwaaien met hun respectieve landenvlaggen en in Khan's geval ook met zijn vele kampioenschapsgordels. Na de pre-fight razzmatazz en introducties was het zaak voor de jonge Gladiatoren.

 

Vanaf de openingsbel begonnen beide mannen voorzichtig te strijden om de middenring, Khan gebruikte zijn superieure bereik om effectieve controle te nemen en zijn meer ervaren tegenstander op de achterste voet te duwen.

 

Ongeveer halverwege de ronde begon Khan het tempo op te voeren, wat grote schoten op zowel lichaam als hoofd, elke keer stond Martinez zijn mannetje en reageerde goed.

 

In de tweede was het min of meer hetzelfde, waarbij Khan het initiatief nam en actief aanviel, terwijl Martinez tevreden bleef om te counteren toen de gelegenheid zich voordeed.

 

In de derde ronde gaat Khan het tempo verder opvoeren, met behulp van superieure handsnelheid en gladde bewegingen om een ​​aantal sensationele opnamen te maken, het meest opvallende was een enorm recht op de kin, laat in de ronde. Martinez was duidelijk geschokt, maar hij dacht nog steeds duidelijk genoeg om zijn tactiek te veranderen en de Bradford-man aan de binnenkant vast te binden om te voorkomen dat er nog meer grote schoten zouden landen.

 

Aanvankelijk nam Martinez het gevecht op zich in de vierde, daarbij belandde een sensationele haak op het hoofd van Khan. Maar deze tactiek speelde zojuist in Khan's handen en de Bradford-man kwam elke keer met een aantal sensationele combinaties terug toen de Mexicaan een aanval uitvoerde.

 

Naarmate de ronde vorderde in de tweede minuut, Khan ving Martinez met een ander groot schot dat de Mexicaan terug naar de touwen stuurde, Khan stapte in en liet scheuren met een dubbelhandige vlaag die culmineerde met een grote linkse hoek op het lichaam, die Martinez naar het canvas stuurde. Martinez telde en haalde het einde van de ronde door Khan weer aan de binnenkant vast te binden.

 

In ronde vijf ziet Martinez meer gebruik maken van de koppelverkoop Khan aan de binnenkantstactiek, en zag er soms overklassiek uit. Khan's superieure ring-craft kwam echt in het spel toen de ronde de laatste minuut inging, de zelfverzekerde persona die Martinez in de vroege ronden droeg, was nu verdwenen, Martinez begon Khan's sprankelende tempo te vertragen tot een kruip, voortdurend grijpend elke keer dat Khan een aanval uitvoerde, voordat u bij elke gelegenheid met uppercuts laat scheuren, tot grote ongenoegen van Khan's hoek, die tegen hun man schreeuwden om zijn prik af te werken en hem op afstand te houden.

 

In de zesde ronde begint Khan vol vertrouwen Martinez verder te dragen met snelle dubbelhandige vlagen en krachtige combinaties voor zowel lichaam als hoofd. Op ongeveer de helft van de ronde brak Khan los van een andere poging tot vasthouden van Martinez en vuurde een paar stijve prikken af, voordat je instapt met een enorme haak aan het lichaam. Martinez zakte meteen in elkaar op het doek en was duidelijk radeloos, de stoere Mexicaan deed echter zijn best om overeind te komen voordat de telling van scheidsrechter James Ancliff zijn conclusie bereikte, zij het zonder succes.

 

De officiële tijd voor de onderbreking 1 minuut en 32 seconden van de zesde ronde.

 

Voorafgaand aan de kop van Khan-Martinez was een Super Roundweight-wedstrijd van zes rondes tussen Bardley, De ongeslagen Nathan Decastro van Lincolnshire en de zeer late vervanger Malcolm Richardson uit Blackpool.

 

Oorspronkelijk zou IBF Ranked Decastro het opnemen tegen de Ghanese Philip Kotey, die in het VK was aangekomen maar ziek werd op vrijdag nacht. Meer teleurstelling voor Decastro, want een overwinning op Kotey zou hem later in het jaar ook hebben gepositioneerd voor een mogelijke kans op een IBF-titel.

 

Vanaf het begin was het duidelijk dat Decastro van plan was een verklaring af te leggen, de Bardley-man die de ring sluit en laat scheuren met power punch na power punch. Richardson is gemaakt van strenge spullen en hield stand en reageerde met goed gevolg. Maar naarmate de ronde vorderde naar de tweede minuut, Decastro schakelde over op het lichaam, het landen van een enorme body shot die Richardson naar beneden stuurde.

 

Richardson telde, in feite volgde de knockdown op de voorste voet en landde zelf een paar goede schoten, maar Decastro's meedogenloze power shots wonnen de Blackpool-man en met ongeveer 40 seconden van de ronde te gaan Decastro ving hem met een enorme body shot om hem voor de tweede keer naar het canvas te sturen, deze keer kwam Richardson echter niet overeind voordat de telling van scheidsrechter James Ancliff de conclusie bereikte.

 

De officiële tijd van de onderbreking was 2 Minuten en 30 seconden van de eerste ronde.

 

Voorafgaand aan Decastro-Richardson was het tijd voor een zwaargewichtwedstrijd tussen Askam-in-Furness, Lee Kellett en Belfast van Cumbria, Ryan Kilpatrick uit Noord-Ierland.

 

Wat een geweldig gevecht, beide jongens gaven daar alles voor de volledige vier ronden, tot grote waardering van de aanwezigen.

 

Na vier zeer vermakelijke actierondes was het Lee Kellett die scoorde scheidsrechter James Ancliff besloot dat de winnaar was door een 40-36 punten marge.

 

De volgende was een Super Lightweight-wedstrijd van vier rondes tussen de Jak Johnson van Newcastle en de Paul Peers van Liverpool.

 

Wat een gevecht, het was een echte Battle Royale, deze twee krijgers gaven geen kwartje, en het was een serieus topgevecht. De eerste paar rondes waren vermoeiend om naar te kijken, pure teen-2-teen actie van begin tot eind, zozeer zelfs dat deze wedstrijd terecht de onderscheiding van de Fight of the Night verdiende.

 

De derde ziet Peers echter in opkomst, de Liverpool-man die het tempo opdreef en zijn focus met groot effect verlegde naar het lichaam van de Geordie, zo erg zelfs dat Peers Johnson halverwege het punt naar het canvas stuurde met een perfect schot op de onderste rib.

 

Johnson kwam overeind, maar in de laatste seconden van de ronde vond Peers een weg door de uitstekende verdediging van Johnson om nog een schot op de onderste rib te landen om Johnson voor een tweede keer naar beneden te sturen, deze keer kon Johnson niet overeind komen om de telling van scheidsrechter James Ancliff te verslaan.

 

De officiële tijd van de onderbreking was 2 minuten en 59 seconden van de derde ronde.

 

De openingswedstrijd van de avond brengt Nathan Beattie uit Aberdeen in actie tegen Marty Kayes, de vervanger van Belfast.

 

Beattie-Kayes was het droomgevecht van een purist, het was een zwaar bevochten en zeer technische wedstrijd, wat voor de kenners geen verrassing zou zijn, zoals deze twee eerder met elkaar hadden gevochten.

 

Na vier zwaar bevochten rondes scoorde de scorekaart van scheidsrechter James Ancliff 40-37 ten gunste van Nathan Beattie.

 

Er zouden nog twee wedstrijden op de kaart plaatsvinden – Obadai Sai vs Isaac Quartey en Patrick Okine vs Saidi Mundi, deze wedstrijden vonden echter niet plaats omdat alleen Quartey en Okine hun visum op tijd hadden ontvangen om de reis naar het VK te maken.
