WBO Middleweight World Champion Prepares for Title Defense Against "King" Gabriel Rosado on Saturday, Oct. 26 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING^®

WBO Middleweight World Champion Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillinput on a clinic today for media members at his gym in Santa Monica, Calif. as he prepares for his title bout against top contender "King" Gabriel Rosado taking place Saturday, Oct. 26 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. Quillin vs. Rosado will precede the title fight between future IBF Light Heavyweight World Champion Bernard Hopkins and top-rated contender Karo Murat.

 The undefeated rising star worked out for well over an hour on the speed bag and heavy bag as well as several 12-minute rounds hitting the mitts with trainer Eric Brown.

Peter Quillin, WBO Middleweight World Champion

"[Gabriel] Rosado presents his own challenges. He's coming to win my world title. I have something that he wants, so I have to respect him for that. We have to put our friendship aside.

"Going into the fight, I have to take myself to a whole another level as far as my work ethic.   I'm doing a lot more than I ever have. I've had tremendous training [camp]. Now I have to prove what my hard work does, like I always have, by just going in there and trying my best.

"I don't feel that I'm underrated. I know I have my share of supporters. But I also know that I'm still looking for that clear, career-defining performance against the kinds of guys I can get the credit for fighting.

"So, until then, until I'm in with those kinds of guys, I can't really say I've accomplished anything that would make me feel like I'm the guy that gets all the credit.

"Yeah, I beat Winky Wright, and, yeah, I beat some guys with good records, but beating another world champion is something I really want to do. I feel that once that superstar fight comes along and is on the line, then that's when the credit will come my way.

"I would love to fight any of the top guys.

"I didn't come in here picking and choosing who I want to fight.   I have a good team behind me. They make sure when it comes to me proving myself with, that I do my part and they do their part by making the best fights out there for me.

"When there is something unexplainable, like what I am doing, people are going to talk about it.

"I have had 11 knockdowns in my last three fights. I only had 15 amateur fights. People see or hear about those knockdowns and they have a lot to say about it.   'If you hit so hard and have so much power, why don't they just stay down?'   But that is not up to them to tell us why they got back up from a punch and fought on. It is up to the guy that I am fighting. The more times you get up, the more times I am going to try to knock you down.

"This will be my fourth fight on SHOWTIME. I really appreciate having them behind me. Exposure-wise, it has obviously been a big boost for me. When I walk the streets in New York City I get recognized.

"SHOWTIME is the network where all of the great fights are being made. The biggest fighter in the world, Floyd Mayweather fights on SHOWTIME. To be connected to someone that is from my hometown of Grand Rapids just like me, is fantastic.

"The most important thing for me is to go out there and inspire people to do things that they never imagined. Whether it is a boxer, a writer or an architect. I didn't have a lot of role models growing up, but it's what's in yourself that counts. And that is what I am trying to get across.''

Eric Brown, Quillin's Trainer

"Peter has really grown up a lot since winning the title, having the title and defending it successfully. It has really boosted his confidence. He's a much more composed fighter. He's true to himself.

 "Since becoming champion he's really begun to believe in himself more than ever.

He's always had the confidence that he could win, but winning the title has confirmed it. It has made the job harder for him but it has also made him work harder.

"He's matured into a real professional. I have had him for about three years and he has always been a great young man to work with. He pretty much does everything I ask. The more I ask the more he gives. There is no limit to how far he can go. It's all on him. I would love to see him get the opportunity to unify the division and then up to 168 pounds and unify the division there too.''

FLOYD "MONEY" MAYWEATHER & ROBERT "THE GHOST" GUERRERO QUOTES FROM BACK-TO-BACK MEDIA WORKOUTS IN LAS VEGAS Plus Mayweather Promotions Fighters J'Leon Love, Luis Arias & Badou Jack

FLOYD MAYWEATHER, Eight-Time and Five-Division World Champion

"I've got to give thanks to everybody; there are so many different sponsors, Corona, Valvoline, MGM Grand and so many other people that have supported me throughout the years, all my fans, the media, my followers on Twitter.  To SHOWTIME, CBS and all the other networks that have been showing love to me.

"SHOWTIME has let me do a lot of creative things.  '30 Days In May,' 'ALL ACCESS' and we have another documentary coming out on CBS.  I have a new relationship and a new marriage and I'm happy now.

"Freedom is very, very important.  You can be locked up and be rich, but it's just like being poor if you don't have freedom.  So, freedom is very, very important.  That's how I feel.

"I have another big fight on May 4th and it is against Robert Guerrero, 'The Ghost.'  This guy is very, very confident and he believes in himself.  We know he has only one loss, but they say a true champion can bounce back.

"It's obvious he did something right to get to this point.  It's obvious he did something right in the Andre Berto fight.  He dedicated himself to his craft, which is boxing.  He stayed focused and he listened to his corner.

"I want a fighter to come in confident.  We don't want the odds to be crazy, but the odds will always be crazy because I've proven myself over the years.  But we want a fighter like Robert Guerrero who's confident and believes in his skills.  Only thing that we [The Money Team] can do is push me to the limit and take me to that next level.  That's what it's about.

"Now he [Robert Guerrero] got the fight with me.  The game plan is to go out there, be smart and get the victory the best way I know how, continue to give the fans what they want to see, work hard and set record-breaking numbers.

"I'm a winner.  I like to perform.  I like to entertain and that's what it's about.  It's about going out and giving the fans what they want - excitement.

"I've faced every style so it's not hard for me to make an adjustment.  I just have to go out there and see my dad's game plan is going to be.

"Like I always say for every fight, everybody had a game plan.  All 43 of my opponents had a game plan and all 43 opponents came up short.  So, I could care less what my opponent has to say.  There isn't a blueprint on how to beat me.  No one has found a way to break the Mayweather code.

"Being a legend, wanting your name mentioned in the mix of other fighters' names, that's why I work so hard right now.  I've been fighting since 1987.  I've been a professional for 17 years.  I've been dedicated to my craft.

"I don't think the layoff will affect me.  My dad is back in my corner.  My dad is my lead trainer, but I'm also working with my uncle Roger.  The Mayweather family, as of right now, has good chemistry.

"Camp has gone tremendously.  My weight has already been made, and I'm ready to fight.  I feel good and, like I said, I couldn't do it without the support from the fans.  When I was locked away, the fans wrote me letters and sent cards and I really appreciated that.

"This is world championship boxing and it's always blood, sweat and tears.  It's not a sport if there isn't blood, sweat and tears.  I'm happy that my dad is back in my camp and we're going strong.  It's good working with him.  If we have a problem and we're not seeing eye-to-eye, we pull each other to the side, talk about it and we get on the same page."

ROBERT GUERRERO, Six-Time and Four-Division World Champion

"My lucky number is 44.  So you know, I'm ready to go.  I'm excited and I've worked hard for this.  I've worked hard to be in this position.  God has blessed me with a lot.  I'm ready.  I've had the right fights to be here.  I've been built up the right way.  I'm ready to go.  I feel ready.  I had two good fights as a welterweight weight class before this.  It was what I needed to break into the weight class.

"You've got to be ready to do everything [when fighting Floyd Mayweather].  People say you need to have an A, B and C game plan, but with Floyd, you need an A to Z game plan.  You've got to be ready for whatever because Floyd is the type of guy that makes adjustments here and there and he makes it tough for fighters to get in there with him.  You've got to be ready to make those adjustments; we've been practicing a lot of stuff.  Our game plan is to go out there and be 100 percent ready and be able to make those adjustments.  Throughout my career everybody has seen that I've been able to make adjustments.

"For a lot of guys, Floyd gets into their head and he frustrates them.  They lose their game plan.  That game plan goes out the door.  That being said, you also have to be able to execute a game plan and a lot of these guys know what they need to do, but they don't have the ability to do it.

"You've got to go in there and fight an intelligent fight with Floyd.  He is a very sharp guy, a very smart guy in the ring.  That is why he is 43-0.  It's about being smart, using your head in the ring and maintaining your game plan.

"My wife's battle with cancer really made me grow as a man.  It makes you mentally strong.  She is fighting for her life.  Being a caretaker makes you a mentally strong person.  That is why I laugh when you say this is just a fight compared to that because it is.  It's just a fight.  That is one of the things that I learned from her whole fight with cancer.  Being mentally strong, being able to hold it together and pushing through is what counts.

"[When asked if the pressure will affect him] I laugh because it is laughable.  To have people ask me questions and this and that, that isn't pressure at all.  Raising two kids and having a wife dying from cancer, now that's pressure.  So this is no problem.  This just comes with the territory and you've got to do it to take care of business."

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO of Mayweather Promotions

"Mayweather vs. Guerrero is the biggest fight of the year.  Everyone is excited, and we want the fans to be engaged. It's going to be a great, great fight.

"I think he [Guerrero] put himself in this position by beating a very good fighter in Andre Berto.  It was a very exciting fight and he proved that he could fight Floyd. I think he put himself in the position where he became more than a viable opponent. He became 'the guy.'

"It doesn't matter what the manager says and it doesn't matter what the promoter says.  It will be up to the fighters come May 4th.

"He's [Floyd Mayweather] a lot more laid back, and he values freedom.  Having been incarcerated was definitely a life-changing experience for him.  It was something he hadn't experienced before.  No one wants to be in that situation.  There's nothing to prepare you for something like that.  The environment and conditions he was placed in made it tough.  But that's behind him.  He did his time and it's time to move on."

RICHARD SCHAEFER, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions

"It's a Mayweather fight and a Mayweather fight is the Super Bowl of boxing.

"A Mayweather fight means a sold out venue and great buzz in Las Vegas.  It's going to be one of those nights when The Money Team will show up against Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero.

"Robert Guerrero has moved up several weight classes and is always perceived as the little guy, but he is bigger than Mayweather.  He has a height advantage on him.

"Guerrero is one of the most underrated fighters.  When this fight was made, he was a nine to one underdog, and I checked yesterday and now he's a four to one [underdog].  As people get to know Robert Guerrero, through the CBS exposure and the pay-per-view promotion, etc., I think people are starting to realize that there is a reason Robert Guerrero hasn't lost in almost several years.

"I have no doubt that Guerrero is the most dangerous opponent that Mayweather has faced in a long time."

"Robert hasn't really lost since 2008 and the one loss he has, the only loss on his record, was against a guy who we found out later was on performance enhancing drugs.  They had a rematch and he  [Guerrero] stopped him inside of three rounds.

"Robert really is undefeated.  He has the size advantage.  He has the youth, and for those people who watched his fight against Berto, they could see how remarkably he was able to take Berto's punches.  Berto is one of the toughest, hardest punching guys in the 147-pound weight class.  He is a natural 147-pounder and Robert just walked through him.  That just shows you how tough he is.

"Now if Guerrero is able to take Berto's shots, how can Floyd Mayweather possibly hurt him?  If you can't hurt Robert Guerrero, then he is going to be coming all night long, and it is going to be a long night for Floyd Mayweather.

"I know it is going to be a great fight because Robert is coming to fight.  He has wanted this fight for so long.  Over the last three or four years they [Team Guerrero] kept saying to me, 'I want Mayweather.  I want Mayweather.'  So finally it is here.  Two weeks to go.  Robert Guerrero is motivated. 

"He [Guerrero] isn't just fighting for himself, but he is doing it for all the cancer survivors as well.  He's getting tremendous support from the Christian community as well.

"Of course Floyd Mayweather is in a class of his own.  He's undefeated and pound-for-pound the best fighter and as he always says, '43 have tried and 43 have failed and this is going to be number 44.'  So we'll see.''

J'LEON LOVE, Rising Middleweight Star

"Having Floyd [Mayweather] as a mentor and seeing him train in the gym everyday is such a special opportunity for a young fighter like myself.  He is the best in boxing and just being around him and watching him train the way that he does has already taught me a lot.

 "I'm ready to go on May 4th and I'm so grateful to Mayweather Promotions for giving me the opportunity to open the pay-per-view portion of the event.  I've been training hard.  I'm prepared to go in there against Gabriel Rosado and give it my all.

"I don't take anything for granted.  I feel this is a moment in my career that I will remember for a long time and I'm looking forward to showing Floyd and boxing fans worldwide that they can count on me to become a world champion in the near future."

BADOU JACK, Top Light Heavyweight Prospect

"Eddie [Mustafa Muhammad] is a great trainer.  He's like a father figure to me.  He's like family.  He's a great motivator, so having him in my corner makes me very confident.

"He [Floyd Mayweather] is one of the greatest fighters of our era, so it is a great feeling for a guy like that to have your back."

LUIS ARIAS, Top Super Middleweight Prospect

"Camp is going really well.  I'm definitely excited.  Obviously this is a huge platform for me and a great opportunity for me.  It's an exciting part of my life to be only 4-0 and be fighting on such a big stage, but I'm ready.

"I'm young and I'm hungry. This is what I wanted.

"Sparring with Floyd is an unbelievable thing.  My confidence is at an all time high."

NBC Sports Network's "Fight Night" Gabriel Rosado vs. Sechew Powell vs

Main Events returns with the latest installment of NBC Sports Network's "Fight Night" series in partnership with Russell Peltz of Peltz Boxing. Topping the show at the Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem, PA, is rising junior middleweight Gabriel Rosado of Philadelphia, 19-5, 11 KOs. This will be a command performance for Rosado, who so impressed the NBC Sports Network execs in January with his disposal of Jesus Soto Karass on the very first edition of "Fight Night", that they ordered an extra show in the series just for him. Rosado faces two-time world title challenger Sechew Powell in a 12-round bout for the WBO Intercontinental Jr. Middleweight belt. Powell brings a seasoned 26-4, 15 KOs record, as well as a tricky southpaw style into the fight. Rosado will have his hands full, but another impressive win may position the Philadelphian for a big fight. He is currently ranked #5 by the IBF and #9 by the WBC. Powell is the IBF's 9th-ranked junior middleweight.

Supporting Rosado-Powell is a 12-round bout between Bethlehem's Ronald Cruz, 16-0, 12 KOs, and Prenice Brewer, 16-1-1, 6 KOs, of Cleveland. The fight will be for the Vacant WBC Continental Americas Welterweight Championship. The winner of the bout takes home his first piece of hardware as a professional. Clearly Cruz will have the hometown advantage, but Brewer brings a wealth of top-level amateur experience in with him.

"KING” GABRIEL ROSADO TO BATTLE ALLEN “THE DREAM SHATTERER” CONYERS THIS FRIDAY LIVE AT BALLYS IN ATLANTIC CITY;

"KING” GABRIEL ROSADO TO BATTLE ALLEN “THE DREAM SHATTERER” CONYERS THIS FRIDAY LIVE; This Friday an important Jr. Middleweight bout will take place between Gabriel Rosado and Allen Conyers with the winner taking a big step towards a significant bout. The fight will take place at Ballys in Atlantic City.

Rosado of Philadelphia has a record of 16-5 with nine wins coming via knockout and has fought the best in the Middleweight divisions.

Rosado holds wins over undefeated James Moore (15-0); former world champion Kassim Ouma (26-5-1); Latif Mundy (9-1); Saul Roman (32-5) and has suffered losses to the likes of Alfredo Angulo (15-1); Fernando Guerrero (12-0) in a bout that Rosado sent Guerrero to the deck and a Fight of The Year split decision defeat to Derek Ennis (21-2-1) in a bout for the USBA championship.

Rosado has won two straight which includes his last bout when he stopped Jamaal Davis on February 26th in twelve rounds to capture the interim NABA Super Welterweight championship.

Conyers of Bronx, New York is known for his knockout prowess.

He has a record of 12-5 with nine knockouts and like Rosado has fought top competition.

He began his career with an 8-0 mark with six knockouts.

Conyers has not only faced by but beaten top competition such as Russell Jordan (12-1) via first round stoppage to win the New York State Championship; undefeated and future USBA champion Derek Ennis (10-0-1); and this past January he shocked undefeated rising contender James De La Rosa (20-0)

He has faced former world title challenger Delvin Rodriguez (11-1-1); World Ranked James Kirkland (20-0); Said Ouali (23-2) and in his last bout he was stopped in seven to one of the hottest Jr. Middleweights in the world in Carlos Molina (17-4-2).

The co-feature is a rematch of a fight that took place on January 15th, 2010 when Tony Ferrante eked out a controversial six round split decision over Andre Hemphill in a Light Heavyweight bout.

In that bout, it was Hemphill who landed a great number of body shots that had most ringsiders stunned that he got the nod and Saturday night he will look to even the score with Ferrante.

Ferrante of Philadelphia has a record of 10-2 with five knockouts.

Hemphill, also of Philadelphia has a deceptive record of 10-17-2 with five knockouts.

He is known as a guy who will fight anybody at anytime on just hours of notice and has pulled many upsets in those ten wins. He will look to extract revenge on Saturday night.

In what could be the fight of the night, undefeated knockout artist, Tyrone Luckey (4-0, 4 KO’s) takes on speedy Bryne Green (6-4-1, 3 KO’s) in a Jr. Lightweight bout.

FIGHTIN’ WORDS FROM THE 4/24 MAIN EVENT BOXING SERIES UNDERCARD

“I don't care who I fight. I just want to fight and fight top men and regain my world championship. I want to prove to everyone that I'm still as good as I was when I won the junior middleweight belt in 2004.” -Kassim Ouma

“Me and trainer Billy Briscoe talked about this fight for weeks before we signed the papers. Billy and I feel I have all the tools to win the right and I'm dedicating myself one hundred percent to winning.” - Gabriel Rosado


"We know each other very well from our amateur days. Our aggressive styles should make for a brutal fight. In addition, this bout will have a significant effect on both of our pro careers." -Jimmy Lubash

“I plan to crush Lubash !!!!!” -Przemyslaw (Patrick) Majewski


On YouTube: “He’s (Cintron) not on my level, he’s nowhere in the same league as me. This fight, I guarantee in 3 rounds it’ll be over. He’ll have to crawl before he can walk. I think they made a big mistake by choosing to take this fight. On his resume he’s never fought an undefeated fighter that was hungry.”- Henry Lundy

“I thought about what Lundy said on YouTube about me. A lot was untrue. As an amateur fighter I wasn't serious about boxing. I had a full ride to play football in college and that’s what I was concentrating on, not boxing. I don't even know the guy. All I know is that he has a good record, fought okay guys. With his strong feelings towards the sport of boxing and my new found passion for boxing neither of us are going to let up in the ring. This is going to be a great fight for the people to watch.” – Jason Cintron

See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.

Junior middleweight James Moore returns to the ring against Lloyd Christian Joseph in New York City’s Times Square on Wednesday, August 6.

Junior middleweight James Moore returns to the ring against Lloyd Christian Joseph in New York City’s Times Square on Wednesday, August 6.

In his first fight since losing a disputed decision to Gabriel Rosado on June 4, the enormously popular junior middleweight James Moore, 15-1 (10 KOS), a native of County Wicklow, Ireland, who fights of Queens, New York, will take on Lloyd Christian Joseph, 12-6-3 (5 KOS), in an 8 round bout on Wednesday, August 6, at B.B. King Blues Club in the heart of New York City’s Times Square.

The show, which is being called “Hot Fights…Summer in the City,” is being promoted by DiBella Entertainment (DBE).

The 35-year-old Joseph, a native of the Virgin Islands who resides in Brooklyn, New York, should provide a stern test for Moore. Besides beating former world champion Keith Mullings, he has gone the distance with top contenders Joshua Clottey and Godfrey Nyakana. He also battled to a draw with Aaron Mitchell, who was 12-1 at the time of their meeting.

“I’m just happy to get back in the ring, and back on track,” said the 30-year-old Moore. “I look at the loss to Rosado as a minor bump in the road. I just need to put that loss aside by keeping myself busy and getting back the momentum I had going into that fight. Joseph is a tough guy, who will come to fight. That’s exactly the type of fight I’m looking for right now.”

Moore is now trained by Lennox Blackmoore, who unsuccessfully challenged the great Aaron Pryor for the world junior welterweight title in 1981.

Blackmoore is glad to be working with Moore, who he wholeheartedly believes has championship potential. “James is all business in training, and in the ring,” said Blackmoore. “He is a very good listener and a quick learner. He doesn’t take any shortcuts and is ready to put the past behind him and get back where he belongs…on the road to a title.”

B.B. Kings is located at 237 West 42 Street in Manhattan. Tickets are priced at $160 (VIP seats and VIP tables); $100 (ringside seats and ringside tables); and $60 for standing room only. Due to the intimate size of the venue, only 550 seats are available. DBE is conducting a special pre-sale before the full card is announced. To purchase tickets, call DBE at 212-947-2577.

James Moore release long-time trainer Harry Keitt

Junior middleweight James Moore, 15-1 (10 KOS), a native of County Wicklow, Ireland, who fights out of Queens, New York, incurred his first defeat at the Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, New York, on June 4.

Gabriel Rosado, 10-2 (6 KOS), of Philadelphia, won a unanimous 8 round decision by the scores 77-74, 78-73 and 76-74.

The scoring has caused some controversy because many observers, including Teddy Atlas, who was announcing the fight on ESPN 2, thought Moore did enough to win. Moore was knocked down in the fifth round, but a compelling argument can be made that he won at least five – and quite possibly six – of the other rounds.

Moore, a veteran of 314 amateur fights and the longtime captain of the Irish national amateur team, is now regrouping as he plans to come back stronger than ever in the very near future. Several changes are afoot in the Moore camp, one of which has been the release of longtime trainer Harry Keitt.

While members of Moore’s camp spoke highly of Keitt, it was decided that the fighter would be best served by moving in a new direction. Several trainers are now being considered to begin working with Moore, who is still considered a bright prospect in a red-hot division.

Previously Undefeated Jr. MW James Moore shockingly upset on ESPN 2's Wednesday Night Fights‏

Previously undefeated junior middleweight James Moore shockingly upset on ESPN 2’s Wednesday Night Fights

Winky Wright Productions and Thomas Gallagher Promotions, in association with Sal Musemeci’s Final Forum, put together a sensational fight card at the Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, New York, on June 4 that was televised on ESPN 2’s Wednesday Night Fights.

In the main event, Yusaf Mack, 174 ½, of Philadelphia won a unanimous decision over Brooklyn’s Daniel Judah, 174 ½, the older brother of former world champion Zab Judah. Mack looked devastating early on as he knocked Judah down in the second round with a pulverizing left uppercut. Judah managed to survive and made the bout competitive until the very end. All of the judges scored it 97-92 for Mack, who won the vacant NABA light heavyweight title.



In a shocking upset, Gabriel “King” Rosado, 152 ½, of Philadelphia improved his record to 10-2 (6 KOS) by winning an 8 round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Irish sensation James Moore, 15-1 (10 KOS), a native of County Wicklow, Ireland, who fights out of Queens.

The first two rounds were fought at a torrid pace, with Moore winning them handily. Rosado managed to stun Moore briefly in the fourth round, and knocked him down in the fifth with a punch that looked as if it landed behind Moore’s head. Moore rebounded and gave Rosado as much as he could handle until the end of the bout.



What shocked observers more than Moore losing was the scoring. ESPN commentator Teddy Atlas had Moore winning the fight, as did many fans in attendance. The three judges scored it unanimously for Rosado by scores of 77-74, 76-74 and 78-73. The third score, by Carlos Ortiz (not the former champion) raised a lot of eyebrows because it indicated that he only gave Moore two rounds of a fight many neutral observers thought he won.

“That judge has to be blind,” said a dejected Moore. “I just don’t get it. He (Rosado) was fighting only 20 to 30 seconds a round. I believe I landed more punches in each and every round. When I first heard the scores, I was certain that I won because I landed so many more punches.”

“That judge should be a spectator, not a judge,” added IBF junior welterweight champion Paul “Magic Man” Malignaggi, a good friend of Moore’s. “Most of the rounds James was doing all the work.”

“Moore is a good fighter, so I knew I had to step my game up,” said the gracious Rosado. “He can come back from this. I lost two fights in my career. I was robbed in one and beat the other guy who beat me in a rematch. I feel that this win erases those losses. I hope he (Moore) realizes this is not the end of the world. He’s a tough guy and I take my hat off to him. He can fight, he just needs to regroup and come back.”


The last time Moore lost was in an Irish Olympic qualifying event in 2003. As heartbreaking as that was, his father, also named James, said his son got over that and he’ll get over this. “It’s a bump in the road,” he said. It’s never fun to lose, but I know my son. This fight will only make him more determined. He’ll be back, and he’ll be better than ever.”

Undefeated junior middleweight James Moore ready to rumble on June 4 on ESPN 2’s Wednesday Night Fights

Undefeated junior middleweight James Moore, a native of County Wicklow, Ireland, who fights out of Queens, New York, weighed in at a slim and ready 154 pounds for his eight round bout against hard-punching Gabriel Rosado, 152 ½, of Philadelphia. The two will open the show on the June 4 installment of ESPN 2’s Wednesday Night Fights from the Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, NY. Moore is 15-0 (10 KOS), while Rosado boasts a record of 9-2 (6 KOS).

In the main event Yusaf Mack, 24-2-2 (15 KOS), of Philadelphia takes on Daniel Judah, 22-2-3 (10 KOS), of Brooklyn. At stake will be the vacant NABA light heavyweight title. The show is being promoted by Winky Wright Promotions, in association with Thomas Gallagher Productions. Wright was in attendance for the weigh-in and will also be at the show.

Mack and Judah weighed in first. Both came in on weight, but Judah and his chief cheerleader, a character named Crocodile who used to tell anyone within earshot how tough Mike Tyson was in Tyson’s waning days, began cursing loudly at Mack. There was a lot of profanity and name calling that began with the word mother. At one point Mack challenged Judah to a winner take all bout.

Moore and Rosado patiently waited to get on the scales, then politely shook hands and wished each other well. “You want hear any of that from me,” said Moore. Rosado couldn’t have agreed more.

What they did disagree on was the outcome of their own fight. Both realize how important a victory on ESPN 2 is to their careers, and both looked locked, loaded and ready to go.

“It’s his hometown, so I know everyone will be cheering for him and booing me,” said the 22-year-old Rosado. “But once I get in the ring, I get in my zone and nothing bothers me. I think the booing will just fuel me up.

“Moore has a basic style,” he continued. “It’s one, two, hook to the body. I’ll just use my faster feet and hands and take away whatever he has. This is an eight-rounder on ESPN. If I win, a lot of doors will open.”

“I really don’t know much about him, other than he is very strong, tough and aggressive,” said Moore. “This fight is as important to him as it is to me, so I expect him to be at his best. He will come out blazing, so I’ll have to be at my best. I’m in good shape, so I’m ready for anything.”

“We’re not taking this guy for granted but those two losses means he knows how to lose already,” said Harry Keitt, Moore’s trainer. “We’re going to introduce him to one more loss on Wednesday night.”

The Aviator Sports Complex is located on Flatbush Avenue, just south of the Belt Parkway, Exit 11S, Brooklyn, NY 11234. Doors will open at 7:00 P.M. and the first bout will be at 8:00 P.M.

The enormously popular James Moore, 15-0 (10 KOS), a native of County Wicklow, Ireland, who fights of Queens, New York, will open the June 4 show at the Aviator Sports & Recreation Center that will be televised on ESPN 2’s Wednesday Night Fights. He will take on Gabriel Rosado, 9-2 (6 KOS), of Philadelphia.

The main event will feature Yusaf Mack, 24-2-2 (15 KOS), of New York via Philadelphia vs. Daniel Judah, 22-2-3 (10 KOS), of Brooklyn. At stake will be the vacant NABA light heavyweight title. The show is being promoted by Winky Wright Promotions, in association with Thomas Gallagher Productions.

In attendance will be Wright, a former world champion, as well as Gallagher, who starred in season one of “The Contender” reality television series. Also there to cheer Moore on will be Seamus McDonagh, a native of Ireland who compiled a 19-3-1 (14 KOS) record during a career that lasted from 1985-91 and saw him square off against Evander Holyfield.

Like Moore, a veteran of 314 amateur fights and the onetime captain of the Irish national amateur team, McDonagh was tremendously popular amongst Irish and Irish American fans. He believes that Moore is a shoo-in to win a world title as soon as he gets the opportunity to fight for one.

“James is the most confident fighter I’ve ever met,” said the extremely intelligent McDonagh, who is now an actor. “He really is an exceptional guy. He has so much experience as an amateur, and he is really putting that to good use in the pros.”

McDonagh said that being an Irish athletic hero can be a double-edged sword. “Going to the fights and cheering on one of their own is an emotional release for the Irish, especially those living in the United States,” said McDonagh. “They have left their home because of their hopes and dreams. They look at a fighter like James and say, “if he can do it, I can do it (bring dreams to fruition). Many are living vicariously through him.”

McDonagh says that when he trained he ignored his fears, but when the bell rang the fear factor would kick in. Had he learned how to deal with his fears more healthily, he believes her would have been more successful. He says that Moore has a much greater emotional foundation, much of which comes from his extensive amateur career.

“There is so much spectacularism in the United States, but none of it has affected James,” said McDonagh. “He is truly like an old-time fighter. He doesn’t get caught up in all the hoopla. He just goes out and does his job very well. He is very easy to root for because he is such a regular guy, even though he is such a dedicated athlete. He has everything it takes – the physical tools and the mental and emotional components – to be a world champion. He will be a world champion.”

The Aviator Sports & Recreation Center is located on Flatbush Avenue, just south of the Belt Parkway, Exit 11S, Brooklyn, NY 11234. Doors will open at 6:30 P.M.

Quotes from May 21 press conference for June 4 show featuring Yusaf Mack-Daniel Judah and James Moore-Gabriel Rosado in Brooklyn, N.Y. Show on ESPN 2

The show, which will be televised on ESPN 2’s Wednesday Night Fights, is being promoted by Winky Wright Promotions, in association with Thomas Gallagher Productions. Wright, a former world champion, and Gallagher, who starred in season one of “The Contender” reality television series, will both be in attendance.

The main event will feature Yusaf Mack, 24-2-2 (15 KOS), of New York via Philadelphia vs. Daniel Judah, 22-2-3 (10 KOS), of Brooklyn. At stake will be the vacant NABA light heavyweight title.

Mack is not the least bit concerned about fighting Judah, of Brooklyn’s famed Judah family, on his home turf. “I like big challenges, so the fact that he is so well known in Brooklyn gives me more incentive to win,” said Mack. “I’m glad the fight will be televised on ESPN 2 because I plan on having a knockout performance.”

Opening the telecast will be the enormously popular James Moore, 15-0 (10 KOS), a native of County Wicklow, Ireland, who fights out of Queens. He takes on Gabriel Rosado, 9-2 (6 KOS), of Philadelphia. In Rosado’s lone New York appearance, he avenged a loss to Joshua Onyango. Both of Rosado’s losses were by close decision.

Moore, a veteran of 314 amateur fights and the former captain of the Irish national amateur team that included John Duddy and Andy Lee, is coming off his biggest win to date, a 10 round decision over J.C. Candelo at Madison Square Garden.

“I am in fantastic shape right now and really looking forward to fighting on ESPN 2,” said Moore, who just returned from Sicily where he helped IBF junior welterweight champion Paul Malignaggi prepare for his May 24 title bout. “This is going to be my breakout year, so I plan on putting on a really good show on June 4.”

Quotes from May 21st Press Conference for June 4th Brooklyn Show‏

The Aviator Sports & Recreation Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. will host its third boxing event in three months on June 4. The show, which will be televised on ESPN 2’s Wednesday Night Fights, is being promoted by Winky Wright Promotions and Thomas Gallagher Productions, in association with Sal Musemeci’s Final Forum.

It will be headlined by Yusaf Mack, 24-2-2 (15 KOS), of New York via Philadelphia, vs. Daniel Judah, 22-2-3 (10 KOS), of Brooklyn.

In the co-feature, the extremely popular James Moore, 15-0 (10 KOS), a native of County Wicklow, Ireland, who fights out of Queens, will battle Gabriel Rosado, 9-2 (6 KOS), of Philadelphia.

At the May 21 press conference at Jack Demsey’s Irish pub in midtown Manhattan, Mack said he wasn’t concerned with fighting someone from the famed Judah family in their hometown. Judah is the brother of former world champion Zab Judah.

“This just feeds my fire,” said Mack, whose beloved father passed away last month. “I’m coming to fight and I’m coming to win. I will be victorious.”

“This is the perfect fight for me,” countered Judah. “My family is not fighting this fight. It’s just me. I will hold my ground, and I will win.”

Moore not only stated that he is eager to battle Rosado, he is also willing to accept bouts with James Kirkland and Mexico’s Alfredo Angulo, both of whom scored big victories on HBO’s Boxing After Dark this past weekend.

“I’m looking to make my move, so I’m willing to fight any of these undefeated prospects,” said Moore, a veteran of 314 amateur fights and the former captain of the Irish national amateur team. “I don’t want easy fights. The bigger the challenges, the more I want the fights.”

HBO’s unofficial judge, Harold Lederman, was in attendance and said that the huge buzz about Moore is well-deserved. “He’s exciting and he has quick hands and good power,” said Lederman. “He’s one of the best junior middleweight prospects in the world, and he would be a great opponent for either Kirkland or Angulo.”

The Aviator Sports & Recreation Center is located on Flatbush Avenue, just south of the Belt Parkway, Exit 11S, Brooklyn, NY 11234.

For tickets call Gleason’s Gym at 718-797-2872. For tickets and sponsorship opportunities contact Tommy Gallagher at 917-774-3517.
