BERTO VS URANGO TO BE OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED AT NYY STEAK
HOLLYWOOD, FL,– The day before the New York Yankees make their debut in their new home in the Bronx, two of boxing’s heaviest hitters – Andre Berto and Juan Urango - will enter the new Yankee Stadium to announce a May 30th event that is destined to produce more big shots than a home run derby.
A 2004 Olympian for Haiti, Andre Berto (24-0, 19 KOs) is one of boxing’s rising young stars, a status he owes to his incredible talent and crowd-pleasing style. Unbeaten as a pro, Berto parlayed wins over Norberto Bravo, Cosme Rivera, David Estrada, and Michel Trabant into a 2008 title shot against Miguel Angel Rodriguez and Berto made the most of his opportunity, stopping his foe in seven rounds to win the WBC welterweight title. The 25-year old has since defended his title with wins over Steve Forbes and Luis Collazo, and he plans on adding a third defense to his record against Urango.
One of boxing’s hardest punchers, pound for pound, Juan “Iron Twin” Urango (21-1-1, 16 KOs) has struck fear into the hearts of opponents ever since his pro debut in 2002. Since then, he has won the IBF junior welterweight title twice, with his only setback coming via decision to Ricky Hatton in 2007. The Monteria, Colombia native bounced back from that defeat with four straight wins, the most recent coming over Herman Ngoudjo in January in a bout that earned him his second world title. Now he chases after bigger game in the welterweight division.
This event is presented by DiBella Entertainment and Seminole Warriors Boxing and will be televised live on HBO Boxing After Dark beginning at 9:45 pm ET / 6:45pm PT.
See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.

It’s On! - Philadelphia’s Fight Of The Year - Brawl On Broad Street
Philadelphia’s very own Brian ‘Bionic Bull’ Cohen (9-2) heads up an
awesome 10 fight card when he faces Lafayette, Indiana’s Robbie ‘Taz
Mexican Devil’ Tovar (15-4-1) for the WBC Americas Light Heavyweight title
at the Donna Cohen promoted ‘Brawl On Broad Street’ event at South
Philadelphia High School, Broad & Snyder, Philadelphia on the 9th May.
Cohen, who cuts an imposing figure due to his chiseled bodybuilder style
physique, is odds on favourite to add another championship belt to his
already impressive collection, which includes the USA Mid American, USA
Mid West, NABC, C.A.M. Land Indiana State Light Heavyweight Titles, even
though he failed to capture the WBC USBN title in his previous outing in
January this year.
So why is Cohen such a sure fire bet? One thing for sure is it isn’t
because his opponent a lame duck, anything but, as Tovar has an excellent
pedigree and is a three time local champion at two different weights,
Super Middleweight and Light Heavyweight. The answer to this conundrum can
be found elsewhere.
Firstly, Cohen’s January loss to Billy Bailey followed a freak asthma
attack bought on by the 95 degree heat in the arena that day. Promoter,
Donna Cohen, is taking no chances of a repeat scenario on the 9th May by
having an air-conditioned trailer placed adjacent to the arena for Cohen
on the day.
Secondly, and probably more relevant, is that out of the Cohen’s nine
victories to date all but one were by stoppage within three rounds, with
four of those being by way of knockout. Now that’s impressive stats and
surely answers the question.
Supporting Cohen vs.Tovar will be a card packed with local talent
including Super Middleweight Dennis Hassan (8-0), Heavyweight ‘Big’ John
Mercurio (2-0), Cruiserweight Pedro Martinez (3-2), Super Middleweight
Dhafir ‘No Fear’ Smith (20-19-6), Featherweight Paul Fernandez (4-2-1) and
Middleweight ‘Mighty’ Mike Tibberi (7-1)
In addition to the seven male fights there will also be three female
fights, although unfortunately the highly anticipated and heavily
publicized debut at this event of former World Champions, the legendary
Smokin’ Joe Frazier and Steve ‘USS’ Cunningham’s protégé, British Super
Bantamweight Marianne ‘Golden Girl’ Marston will not be one of them due to
the American authorities decision not to grant her a visa in time to take
part.
Instead Donna Cohen has bought in an exciting replacement in the form of
No. 8 ranked Welterweight Olivia Fonseca (2-2-2) in addition to
Lightweight Lonnie Jackson Jr. (1-0) and the professional debut of
Lightweight Liz Sherman.
See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.

Aaron Williams heading to Germany for showdown against Cuban champ Hernandez
PROVIDENCE– Cruiserweight prospect “Awesome” Aaron Williams is in Las Vegas, sparring with unbeaten light heavyweight champion “Bad” Chad Dawson, in preparation for his potential career-changing fight May 9 against former Cuban amateur champion Yoan Pablo Hernandez at Jako-Arena in Bamberg, Bayern, Germany.
Nine-time amateur champion Williams (19-1-1, 13 KOs), born in Cleveland and fighting out of Las Vegas, is trained by former light heavyweight champion Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, who is also getting Dawson ready for his May 9th rematch against Antonio Tarver.
The 23-year-old Williams is coming off a win by eighth-round knockout of David Williams last November in North Dakota, in which, Aaron was selected as “Fighter of the Night.”
Williams was living up to his nickname, “Awesome,” until he was caught by a punch he didn’t see and stopped last May by Jose Luis Herrera on ESPN. Williams, however, has rebounded nicely with two straight wins and now he’s stepping-up in class to face southpaw Hernandez, who lives and fights out of Germany.
“I’m going over there to win,” Williams said from training camp in Las Vegas. “I have to do what I do best and nothing else matters. Fighting him over there, once the bell rings, everything goes out the window. I know he’s highly rated but I take every fight the same. Sparring with Chad helps a lot because he’s a tall southpaw like Hernandez. I helped Chad get ready for his first title win and now we’re helping each other out.”
Hernandez’ lone loss as a pro was to former world champion Wayne Braithwaite by 12-round technical knockout a year ago. Presently riding a 4-fight win streak, Yoan Pablo is rated in the top 15 of all four major boxing organizations – WBC #9, WBA #12, WBO #13 and IBF #14.
“Aaron is a top prospect and this is the type fight he had to take and must win in order to become a legitimate contender and future world champion,” Williams’ promoter Jimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports, Inc.) said. “He’s a pleasure to work with and has a rich amateur pedigree. Training under Eddie and sparring with great fighters out in Las Vegas like Dawson have really helped Aaron develop. Beating a fighter overseas like Hernandez, who is rated high by so many major organizations, certainly should move Aaron right into the top 15 world cruiserweight ratings. He has monster-like power and learns every time out. CES is sending another of its young guns and top prospect to Europe and this fight can help make him a worldwide commodity in boxing.”

Dan "Irish Lightning" Byrne hits Las Vegas May 1
LOS ANGELES – Unbeaten Irish light welterweight sensation Dean “Irish Lightning” Byrne fights for the first time in 2009 when he battles Mexican southpaw Jose Reynoso (10-2, 1 KO) in a scheduled 8-round bout May 1 at South Point Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Not only will Byrne be making his debut in the glitz and glitter of Las Vegas, the 24-year-old Irishman will be fighting the night before the Manny Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton showdown in the same city with Manny’s trainer, Freddie Roach, also in his corner.
Working out at Roach’s famed Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles, where he has sparred with Pacquiao, Amir Khan and Juan Marquez, Byrne has found a home. After having more than 200 amateur fights, including an Irish National title, Dean turned pro in Australia, where he captured the New South Wales State belt in only his fourth pro fight, and one fighter later added the Australian crown in a 10-rounder. On his way from Australia to relocate in Boston, Dean stopped in Los Angeles and trained at Wild Card, where Roach took an instant liking to him.
“I couldn’t have a better trainer,” Byrne said. “I’m so proud he’s my trainer. He says I got it and I’m going to prove that to him and me. I really can’t wait until this fight in Las Vegas and I’m trained by Manny’s trainer. It’s going to be a weekend of celebration. I’m not going to go out and jump on this guy (Reynoso). I want to show everybody what I can do – box! I’m starting to bring it on hard. On fight night I won’t be wearing headgear and big gloves. It’s a different feeling with the 8-ounze gloves and no headgear. I can’t wait to feel the power.”
Byrne (10-0, 4 KOs), fighting out of Los Angeles by way of Dublin, was supposed to fight in an 8-round bout March 16 in New York City that was canceled. The former Australian and New Wales champion hasn’t fought since defeating Francisco Rios Gil
last December.
“Dean’s been doing great,” Roach remarked. “He’s learning to sit on his punches. For this fight he’s mostly been sparring with Dennis Laurente (30-3-5, 16 KOs), who is fighting in a 10-rounder in Las Vegas on the same weekend. Dean’s a good prospect and working together with Dennis, a lefty, has been great for both of them. Dean’s going to get great exposure fighting in Las Vegas the night before Manny’s fight with everybody in boxing in town. Dean told me he’s going to shine and I know we’re ready to go.”
Byrne’s manager, Steven Feder (Standing Eight Management) values Roach handling his prize prospect, Byrne. “I can’t believe a year in this business and I’m working with the best trainer in the world, Freddie Roach,” Feder commented. “He’s as excited about working with a prospect like Dean as he is with the best fighter in the world, Manny. Freddie loves boxing and is still a student of the game. I handle the business side and let Freddie do his thing – nobody does it better. Having Freddie in our corner is like being handed the Triple Crown winner, or like a 4-round handicap before the first rounds starts. We’re light years ahead of where we’d be right now without him.
“He really cares about his fighters. It’s like a tough father-son relationship; he may kiss them on one cheek, slap them on the other, but I don’t have to strategize with Freddie in our corner. The key is having a game plan because you don’t want the fighter thinking too much in the ring. There are no guarantees, of course, but Dean is a great kid and a talented, promising prospect. As a manager, I don’t want to be asking where my fighter is or if he’s trained today. Dean’s only concern in life is boxing and he’s always working hard in the gym. We expect big things from him."
See you at the Fights.

Saturday night’s alright for prospect Danny O’Connor
FRAMINGHAM, Mass.– Hot New England prospect Danny O’Connor is ready for Saturday night’s throw-down with 21-fight veteran Travis Hartman on the Carl Froch-Jermain Taylor undercard at MGM Grand Foxwoods in Ledyard, Connecticut.
2004 U.S. Olympic Team alternate O’Connor (5-0, 2 KOs) will be fighting not too far from His Framingham (MA) home for the second time in a row. Missouri-native Hartman (9-11-1, 7 KOs) will serve as a solid test, as well as a measuring stick for O’Connor, having fought other promising prospects such as Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., Jorge Perez, Jr., Shamone Alvarez, Damain Frias and Ray Sanchez.
“I’m excited about fight Saturday night,” the Seminole Warriors Boxing-promoted O’Connor said. “It’s a good opportunity for me to showcase my talents on a big fight card, the Taylor-Froch undercard, which will give me good exposure. I’m eager to display all we’ve been working on since my last fight. I feel very strong for this fight.”
The 23-year-old O’Connor, who defeated 2008 Olympic Gold medalist Felix Diaz a year ago in a USA-Dominican Republic dual meet, is fighting again as a light welterweight (140) but gradually moving down to lightweight (135).
For more information about Danny O’Connor go online to www.dannyoconnorboxing.com.

No Holds Barred: Ian Carpenter on One World Champion Vide
No Holds Barred: Ian Carpenter on One World Champion Video
http://nhbnews.podOmatic.com/entry/2009-04-21T00_14_24-07_00
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman speaks with our newest correspondent, Ian Carpenter (http://iancarpenter.com/).
The main subject of our discussion is the short video which has just been released called "One World Champion" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXNd09YflhQ). This video was produced by Ian and Eddie, and focuses on the present absurd situation where there are four heavyweight boxing champions of the world. We discuss this video, the need for just one recognized heavyweight boxing champion of the world, the importance to all the combat sports of the martial art of boxing, and much more.
Also, No Holds Barred is available through iTunes at http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=150801513&s=143441.
The show is in MP3 format, so may take some time to download.
The No Holds Barred theme song is called "The Heist", by musician Ian Carpenter (http://iancarpenter.com/).
Make sure to check out my regular weekly boxing show SecondsOut Radio, at http://www.secondsout.com/radio/. On this week's edition of SecondsOut Radio, we begin by reviewing the two major title fights held Sunday morning, April 19, at the famed Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City in the Philippines. On that card, Nonito Donaire (21-1, 14 KOs) successfully defended his IBF flyweight title by dominating previously-unbeaten Raul Martinez (24-1, 14 KOs), knocking him down four times, and scoring a fourth-round TKO. The co-feature saw an aggressive Brian Viloria (25-2, 15 KOs) upset Ulises Solis (28-2, 20 KOs) with an 11th-round knockout to capture the IBF light flyweight title. This was the best a rejuvenated Viloria had looked in a long time, and this spirited fight, in which Solis came back in the middle rounds, could earn a Fight of the Year nomination. One fighter who is trying hard to gain recognition is 26-year old heavyweight Tor Hamer (5-0, 4 KOs). His next fight will be against an opponent to be named on the Andre Berto-Juan Urango undercard May 30 at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida. We had a chance at a news conference this past week at the new Yankee Stadium to speak with Tor Hamer and his trainer, Shawn Raysor, about his career, why American heavyweights are no longer at the top of that division, why so many American heavyweights seem out of shape, and more. This coming Saturday, April 25, the unbeaten WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (24-0, 19 KOs) of Nottingham, England, travels to America to defend his title against the former middleweight champion, Jermain Taylor (28-2-1, 17 KOs), of Little Rock, Arkansas. This fight will take place at the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. It will be televised live in the U.S. on Showtime. We had a chance on a recent media conference call to speak with both Carl Froch and Jermain Taylor about this fight.
