 Lo

Oliver to face Lopez on May 7th ESPN2 WNF's

May 3rd, 2008

Connecticut super-bantamweight contender Mike "Machine" Oliver (21-0, 7 KO's) will now take on 14-year, Colombian veteran Reynaldo Lopez (28-5-2, 19 KO's) on this week's installment of ESPN2's Wednesday Night Fights, to be held at The Roxy in Boston, Massachusetts.

Oliver's originally slated bout was to be against Julio Zarate, in an IBF Title Eliminator, but that fight fell through during the negotiation process. "We tried in vein to make the fight with Zarate, but they refused to fight us on May 7, and that was extremely disappointing," Cappiello stated. "However, my obligation, first and foremost to Mike Oliver, is to keep him active and continue moving him toward what I believe is an imminent world title fight. That, coupled with my commitment to ESPN, left us no other option than to find another worthy opponent for May 7th, and that is exactly what have in Reynaldo Lopez! This promises to be one heck of a main event, and I am thrilled that Mike Oliver is going to have the opportunity to showcase his talent, to a nationwide audience, and show that he is truly a star in the making!"


The evening's co-feature bout will pit Philadelphia's Aaron Torres (16-6, 6 KO's) against Miami, Florida's Antoine "The Truth" Smith (9-1, 5 KO's). Torres, of The Contender: Season 2 fame, will enter the bout riding a two fight win-streak, after having dropped five consecutive bouts. Smith will climb into the opening bout of the ESPN2 broadcast with a 4-0-1 record in his last five ring appearances. His last, and only loss, was a July, 2007 decision defeat at the hands of Ed Paredes.


Also scheduled to for action on the under card is local junior welterweight fan-favorite Sean Eklund (5-2, 1 KO), who is trained by his uncle "Irish" Micky Ward, Eklund will take on Worcester, Massachusetts' Jose Velasquez (0-2). Heavy-handed, Lawrence, Massachusetts middleweight Eddie Caminero (3-0, 3 KO's) faces Columbus, Ohio's William Armstead (2-5, 1 KO), Worcester, Massachusetts native Edwin Rosado (1-3, 1 KO) squares off against Philadelphia's Emmanuel Roses (0-2), and Philadelphia prospect Frankie Trader makes his pro-debut against Worcester, Massachusetts' Luis Rosario (4-12, 2 KO's).

WORLD RENOWNED FIGHT ANNOUNCER BATTLES CANCER!

April 10, 2008
Boxing ring announcer, Michael Buffer, famous for the trademarked 
phrase, "LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE", is currently recovering at his 
home in Los Angeles following surgery to remove cancerous tumors from 
the throat and neck.

Buffer has issued the following statement:

"The cancer was detected at a very early stage in mid-February and 
three weeks ago I was operated on by one of the best surgeons in the 
field.  I am recovering well and feel stronger every day.  The early 
detection prevented any spread that would have jeopardized my vocal 
ability.  I am looking forward to being back in the ring next week 
(Saturday, April 19th) as Bernard Hopkins faces Joe Calzaghe on HBO 
PPV from Las Vegas.  The support and encouragement for a return to 
good health received from my friends and members of the sports 
promotion and broadcasting community was overwhelming and greatly 
appreciated.  I was very surprised to learn how many cancer survivors 
are out there and how they instantly rallied to my support.  As a new 
member of that group, I intend to keep up that tradition.

"My physicians are not sure of the cause as many things can 
contribute to cancer but one very distinct possibility is smoking.  
After a decade of smoking, I quit 35 years ago but the damage may 
have begun.  Hopefully, my circumstances will encourage others to 
avoid smoking and second hand smoke when possible, and please get 
regular checkups."

For more than 25 years, Buffer has been recognized around the world 
as boxing's premiere ring announcer.  He is a staple on HBO boxing 
and regularly travels to Europe and Asia for fight telecasts.  The 
words, "Let's Get Ready To Rumble" are actually a registered 
trademark and the licensing of the phrase has generated hundreds of 
millions of dollars with video games (a new one coming out late this 
year), toys, food products, clothing and sporting goods to name a 
few.  Buffer's appearances and introductions have not been limited to 
boxing as he has also opened World Series games, NBA Finals, Stanley 
Cup games, NCAA events, WWE matches, the Olympics and concerts 
featuring JayZ, Black Eyed Peas and Aerosmith.  He has appeared in 
numerous TV commercials and on dozens of shows such as the ESPYS, 
Academy Awards, BET Awards, the Grammys, SNL, Mad TV, Leno, Letterman 
and Conan.  Buffer has played himself many times over in motion 
pictures but will be seen in a featured role as an unscrupulous NYC 
realtor in "YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN" starring Adam Sandler due 
this spring.

Providence boxing goes national
 
Estrada-Whitaker Headlines ESPN2 Friday Night Fights, April 4 at Twin River Event Center, RI
 
PROVIDENCE (March 20, 2008) – ESPN2 Friday Night Fights comes to Twin River Events Center on April 4th as 2004 U.S. Olympian Jason “Big Six” Estrada takes on former NABO/NABA/WBC Continental Americas champion Lance “Mount” Whitaker in the 10-round main event on “Heavy Hitters,” promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment, Inc.
 
Estrada (11-1, 2 KOs), 27, completed his amateur career in the U.S. with an amazing 261-14 record. The Providence-native became the first boxer to win both the U.S. Nationals and U.S. Challenge three years (2001-2003) in a row. “Big Six” won a unanimous 10-round decision versus former world title challenger Charles Shufford in his last fight on January 25.
 
The massive 6’ 8” Whitaker (32-4-1, 27) has beaten former world champions Oleg Maskaev (KOs) and Al “Ice” Cole, as well as previously undefeated Robert Davis (22-0), and 2-time world title challenger Monte Barrett.
 
“Providence fans turned out in force last week (March 14), selling out Twin River, and I’m sure will fill the event center again and show people watching on ESPN2 that Providence is the true boxing center of New England,” promoter Jimmy Burchfield said. “Jason is Rhode Island’s first Olympic boxer and he’s stepping up in class to fight Whitaker, who has fought some of the top heavyweights of the past decade, and beaten two world champions. We’re also putting hot cruiserweight prospect Aaron Williams, 9-time national amateur champion, on the card in the co-feature and some of the most popular, exciting fighters in New England – Joey Spina, Jarrod Tillinghast, Joey McCreedy and Iraqi War veteran Chris Traietti – on the undercard with a pair of very promising prospects, Diego Pereira and Isander Beauchamp.”
 
Like Estrada, unbeaten cruiserweight “Awesome” Aaron Williams (16-0-1, 11 KOs), fighting out of Las Vegas but making Providence his second home, is taking a quantum step-up in class in terms of his opponent, former NABO/NBA title-holder Andre “Tombstone”  Purlette (40-2, 35 KOs), in the 10-round co-feature.
 
Power punching Providence super middleweight Joey “KO Kid” Spina (21-1-1, 15 KOs), popular unbeaten Providence light heavyweight Jarrod Tillinghast (9-0, 3 KOs), exciting Lowell (MA) light heavyweight “Irish” Joey McCreedy (7-1, 5 KOs), Quincy (MA) super middleweight Chris Traietti 701, 4 KOs) and Providence junior welterweight Diego Pereira (1-0, 1 KO) and Lynn (MA) flyweight Isander Beachamp (4-0, 1 KO) are scheduled to fight on the undercard. All fights and fighters are subject to change.
 
Tickets for “Heavy Hitters” are priced at $35.00 (ADA stage seating only), $40.00, $50.00, (Bronze), $75.00 (Silver), $100.00 (Gold) and $150.00 (Jimmy’s Platinum Club) and will soon be available to purchase by calling CES (401.724.2253/2254), going on line at www.cesboxing.com or www.twinriver.com, at the Twin River Event Center (100 Twin River Road, Lincoln, RI), or any TicketMaster location. CES is accepting ticket orders now at 401.724.2253/2254. Contact CES (401.724.2253/2254/www.cesboxing.com) or Twin River Events Center (877.82.RIVER/ www.twinriver.com) for more information. Doors open at 6 PM/ET, first bout at 7 PM/ET.
 
(Twin River has waived its 18+ rule for “Heavy Hitters.” Anybody under the age of 18 must be accompanied at all times by an adult and they must enter through the West entrance.)

Peter, Peter Maskaev Beater;

Sam Peter Thumps Oleg Maskaev
By: Phil Santos Overhandright.com
 
The outcome was apparent early as the heavy handed Sam Peter slammed the older, slower Oleg Maskaev.  Peter appeared the hungrier fighter with more to prove as he stopped the WBC champion by TKO in the 6th round.
 
Peter had finally obtained the legitimate championship status that he so desperately desired.  Maskaev did little more than hang in and last for 6 rounds as Peter did the majority of the effective scoring, especially when in came to landing power shots.
 
The Nigerian Nightmare ended Maskaev's night with a hard right hand which lead to a brutal flurry causing referee Guadalupe Garcia to call the action to a halt.
 
The win means big fights in the near future for the newly crowned World Champion and some added excitement in the often times dull Heavyweight division.  An eagerly anticipated rematch between Samuel Peter and Wladimir Klitschko would be huge for the sport and would garner a fair amount of attention as a Heavyweight unification bout.
 
Peter now owns wins over James Toney(2), Jameel McCline and Oleg Maskaev with his lone defeat coming at the hands of the man considered the preeminent Heavyweight in the world in Klitschko.  Peter just may possess the power and style to rejuvenate interest in the Heavyweight division.

PS

Campbell stuns Diaz to take lightweight title.

 
Nate Campbell proved he was not too old to produce one of biggest wins of his career with a Split Decision win over Juan Diaz in a slugfest through 12 rounds. The 36 year old Campbell was effective enough and kept up a brutal pace that had the 24 year old Diaz in slow motion in the last two rounds.
 
Campbell was the bigger puncher, the more precise, and he gave Diaz a taste of his own medicine by wearing down his opponent, who was in survival mode the last two rounds. Campbell took control after the sixth round and never looked back, outpunching his foe at a nearly 2-1 ratio.

GAMBOA CONTINUES SENSATIONAL RISE
- Ron Ross
 
Ft Lauderdale, FL  Feb. 22, 2008
 

        In a converted auto raceway called Xtreme Indoor Carting, where spectacular bursts of power from the start are commonplace, a young Cuban ex-patriate now living in Miami, showed everyone in the crowd of 3500 what power displays were really about. This young man may be a throwback to the days of such great featherweights as Willie Pep and Sandy Saddler. You do not turn around or bend down when he is in the ring. Not if you want to see the fight. That’s how devastating and sudden Yuri Gamboa’s assault was  in the 10-round co-feature against North Carolina’s Johnnie Edwards,130, who came in with a 13-1 record. Before the echo of the opening bell died down, Gamboa, 128 ½,  had already unleashed a blistering two-fisted attack. Driven back by the ferocity of Gamboa’s firepower, Edwards was toppled by a vicious left hook followed by a glancing for-good-measure right. Getting up, he decided to fight fire with fire. Whether a wise or unwise decision was probably irrelevant as the tremendous right that Gamboa drove home to send Edwards sprawling was not going to be denied .  In one minute and thirty-four seconds Yuriorkis Gamboa, now 9-0 with 8 KO’s made believers of all those present who were not already convinced as he captured the NABF Junior Lightweight Championship.

Coincidentally, it was one year to the day that he and Yan Barthelmy were originally scheduled to make their American debuts in Miami but were unable to legally gain entry to the country at that time. Barthelmy, another of the three Cuban Olympic champions who defected from their Venezuelan training camp in 2006, was impressive with his display of rapid fire punching and defensive boxing skills in his victory over Miami’s Antonio Diaz, 118 ½, 9-9 (6 KO’s). Though not a power puncher, the lanky Cuban was in total control as he scored his first knockdown as a professional and by the end of the six round bout, which all three officials scored 59-53,   was loose and flowing as he showboated for the overflow crowd of nearly 3500. Barthelmy, now 5-0 came in at 117.

 

In the co-feature super-welterweight ten-rounder,  a heavy-fisted Richard Gutierrez, Colombia, 153 ¼, kept the pressure on Nicaragua’s Jose Varela, 153 ½, ramrodding him with piston-like left jabs and savage hooks to body and head. It was the kind of fight that Gutierrez would have liked to have been held in a phone booth. The oppressive heat – the makeshift fight club seemed like a Turkish bath – seemed to catch up with him in the last three rounds, enabling Valera to come back and make it into a real brawl at the end, capturing the eighth and tenth rounds of what developed into a two-man slugfest that had the crowd on its feet roaring., The unanimous decision for Gutierrez of 99-91, 98-92 and 98-92 was accurate in its tally but didn’t tell the story of the true grittiness of the warriors. Gutierrez improved to 22-1 (13 KO’s) while Valera is now 23-3 (16 KO’s)

 

In the undercard:

 

Derrick Wilson, Ft. Meyers, FL, 124 ¾, 2-0 won a unanimous decision over Dan Calafell, Miami, Fl, 123 ¾, in his pro debut. Wilson dropped Calafell early in the first round with a crisp right to the nose (welcome to the pros) and again in the third round with another overhand right.

 

Juan Novoa, Miami, 152 ½, 13-1 (11 KO’s) captured a unanimous decision over fellow Miamian, Jose Pena, 153 ¾, 1-3.

 

Ibrahim King, Boston, Mass, 164 ½, 3-0 (2 KO’s) won a unanimous decision over a game but outclassed John Terry, Portsmouth, VA, 167 ½.  King, a southpaw, dropped Terry in the first with a solid left cross and continued pummeling him throughout.

 

The most resounding knockout of the night came when Beibut Shumenov, Kazakhstan, 176,  threw a picture perfect right hand  that landed square in the middle of Cedric Howard’s face, knocking him out cold. Howard, Pensacola, FL, 175 ¾, is  0-2. Shumenov, now fiighting out of Las Vegas, Nevada is now 2-0, both spectacular first round knockouts.

 

In a walkout four-rounder a hulking 243-pound Erik Leander of West Palm Beach, Fl, 2-0 (2 KO’s) swarmed all over tiny, in comparison, and docile 198 pound Alex Duran, Charlotte, North Carolina, 0-2 who covered up as wide, arcing slapping whacks bombarded him until referee Brian Garry could take no more and waved it off after 41 seconds of round one, awarding the non-fight to Leander on a TKO.

B.J. Flores ends Darnell Wilson win streak;

Ding a Ling ManDisappointing, out boxed by Flores

 By: Phil Santos Overhandright.com

 
In an interesting match-up that had the potential to shake things up in the Cruiserweight division, Darnell Ding a Ling Man Wilson, 22-5-3 (19), took on the undefeated B.J. Flores, 20-0-1 (13).  Wilson the current USBA Cruiserweight champion and the #9 rated Cruiser by The Ring Magazine was looking to continue his assent up the rankings by dominating the untested Flores.  For Flores this bout means everything.  This was the up and comers crack at national exposure, a marquee victory and in summation to take his career to another level. 
 
The beginnings of their careers could not be more diverse.  B.J. Flores story is one of an accomplished amateur who has fought his way to an impressive, and a little misleading, 20-0 record.  Flores hadnt yet experienced a professional loss.  Darnell Wilson began his career with a 1-1-1 record and before finding his groove.  Over his next 19 fights he compiled a 17-0-2 record and looked to be a viable contender.  Then thing unraveled.  Wilson lost his next four fights and appeared all but finished as a serious contender.  The Ding a Ling Man has again bounced back winning four straight, all by knockout.  The stage was set, Flores hopes to make a name for himself and Wilson looks to add Flores name to his list of victims.
 
Live from The Dover Downs Race Track and Casino and televised on ESPN2 Friday Night Fights Wilson and Flores would go to work.  It was evident from the start that Flores possessed the faster hands.  The unbeaten prospect jumped out to an early lead, taking rounds 1 and 2, utilizing his quickness and avoiding Wilsons looping haymakers.  Wilson rebounded in the 4th and 5th by timing Flores and began landing in spurts. 
 
As the middle rounds approached Flores continued to frustrate Wilson with his quick hands and even more so his constant movement.  Wilson continued to launch bombs, with the worst of intentions, but experienced little success.  They traded rounds on my card from the 5th thru the 8th.  It was the 8th round however that seemed to turn the tide in favor of the Ding a Ling Man.  A tired Flores set out to circle the ring and avoid Wilson.  The crowd voiced their displeasure by booing Flores for much of rounds 8-10. 
 
Flores showed heart, finding enough left in his tank to out box Wilson and, in my eyes, steal round 10.  Surprisingly he wasn't finished.  Flores found enough opportunity between Wilsons big swings to land flush jabs and evade serious damage.  Flores appeared to do enough to take the 11th and hung in despite a late surge by Wilson to last the 12th.  My scorecard read 114-114 in a see-saw match in which neither fighter could maintain control for a prolonged period of time.  The judges saw it 115-113, 116-112, 118-110 in favor of B.J. Flores.

Paragon's Plans to Keeppunching

February ESPN Card Announces Louisiana Casino's Status as New Destination for World-Class Boxing

Before the bell rings or a single punch is thrown, a group of extraordinary people will have already scored an impressive boxing victory. 

 

February 29's "Friday Night Fights" broadcast from the Paragon Casino Resort in Marksville, Louisiana, featuring IBF #1-rated Sechew "Iron Horse" Powell (23-1, 13 KOs) and IBF and WBO #14-rated Allan "Sweetness" Green (26-1, 18 KOs) in dual main events, will mark the culmination of a lengthy group effort to bring world-class professional boxing to Central Louisiana.

 

"I think it's huge we're sponsoring a major televised boxing event," says Linda Bordelon, Vice-President of Public Relations for the Paragon. "I know the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe is tremendously proud of getting to this point. They fought hard for this; they deserve it and we're all thrilled to have it."

 

Known as the "Pearl of Louisiana", the Paragon was constructed on Tunica-Biloxi Tribe land in 1994 and has quickly expanded to a sprawling 1,000,000 + square-foot resort that rivals anything Las Vegas can offer. With cypress trees and live alligators in its newly constructed eight-story glass atrium, over 2000 slot machines, the full complement of gaming tables, three hotel towers, a top-rated golf course and seven restaurants among its many amenities, the Paragon has turned a once-rural area into one of the country's newest hot spots.

 

So what does a casino traditionally do once it's all dressed up? It goes out for a night of world-class boxing.

 

David Rivas, Director of Political Affairs for the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe as well as the first independent Native American boxing promoter in history, says that while the Paragon has hosted boxing in the past, this amazing coup to stage a major event started with a call to Louisiana-based husband-and-wife boxing promoters Mickey and Kerry Daigle of Keeppunching Entertainment.

 

"Kerry is a dear friend of mine. When they asked me who I thought could handle the boxing program for the Paragon, I recommended Keeppunching immediately. Mickey and Kerry are honorable people."

 

The Daigles began their Paragon tenure by putting on well-attended shows featuring local favorites such as Blake "Candyman" Prevost and "The Fighting Marine" Kasha Chamblin.

 

Then one day came word that a televised date, originally to be hosted by "The Contender" series of promotions, was suddenly available. Through some quick moves, Keeppunching was able to put together this sensational card and make the fight happen at the Paragon.

 

Kerry Daigle, KPE Director of Boxing to his wife Mickey's role as promoter, says it took some fast maneuvering.

 

"When I heard that The Contender had other plans, I spent hours on the phone coming up with an idea for a blockbuster show. When I had a plan put together, I called up my good friend Leon Margules (Head of Florida-based Warrior's Boxing) and together with Allan Green's promoter Tony Holden, we approached ESPN and finalized arrangements for this incredible double-main-event evening, one of the best nights of boxing that will be seen on ESPN this year."

 

Bordelon calls the big show a "coming out party," for the Paragon and for Louisiana boxing. "We're looking forward to having folks around the country find out about our outstanding facilities. In the Mari Center (Mari means "gathering" in the Tunica Biloxi Tribal language) there are only 2200 seats, so when you sit in this newly updated facility, it's like being at a very intimate gathering, but with all the modern technology and features that a much larger facility would have: great lighting and wonderful sound. The exposure through ESPN is wonderful for us. This will encourage people who have never visited Marksville to come and enjoy everything you could want from a top casino resort and the best southern hospitality on the planet to go with it."

 

When the bright lights go up and the cameras roll that February Friday night, one of the big winners will be the group who were able to collectively put it all together. While Las Vegas is known as the world's champion of top-level boxing, a hungry, young contender has emerged in Marksville, Louisiana.

 

And they're working hard on taking Vegas's title away some day.

 

Tickets are on sale now, priced at $100 Ringside (Limited Seating) and $40 (Reserved Stadium Seating) and can be obtained through www.ticketmaster.com or by calling the Paragon Casino Resort at 1.800.WIN.1.WIN.

NEW YORK CITY (December 7, 2007) – Unbeaten Bronx lightweight prospect Jorge “The Truth” Teron steps-up in class against Mexican knockout artist Adrian “Canon” Navarette in the 10-round co-feature December 13 on the “Holiday Hits” pro boxing show, co-promoted by Ring Promotions and Cedric Kushner’s Gotham Boxing, at The Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan.
 
WBA No. 9 rated middleweight contender challenger “Mean” Joe Greene (16-0, 12 KOs), the 2004 National Golden Gloves Tournament champion and reigning NABA middleweight champion from Queens (NY), headlines in the 10-round main event.

The 22-year-old Teron (18-0-1, 11 KOs), WBC No. 20 rated lightweight and 3-time New York Golden Gloves champion, will use his long reach and height advantage (4-inches, 6’ 0” to 5’ 8”) to box the power-punching Navarette (16-4-1, 13 KOs), former Intercontinental Mundo Hispano title-holder.
 
Teron is coming off of impressive back-to-back victories against Jefferson Auraad Rodriguez (20-10) by first-round TKO and an eight-round unanimous decision (80-72, 80-72, 79-73) and near shutout in his last action (September 5, 2007) versus Mike Gonzalez (10-1-1).
 
“It’s always exciting to fight at home because my family and friends watching makes me happy,” Teron said. “I’m also excited to be fighting in the co-feature for the first time. It’s a progression of my career and I want to show everybody what I can do. I’ll be headlining my own show soon. In 2008, I plan on fighting one or two 10-rounders and then I’ll be ready to take on the top lightweights in the world. I’m ready for the top level; no more swing bouts or 8-rounders. I’m fighting 10-rounders and eventually 12-rounders. I feel great for this fight.”
 
Dominican-born heavyweight prospect Nagy Aguilera (4-0, 2 KOs), the two-time New York Golden Gloves champion raised in Puerto Rico and fighting out of Newburgh (NY), takes on Darryl Holley (6-5, 1 KO), of Brigantine (NJ) in a 6-round bout.
