Ju Hee Kim Retains WBF World Title

Ju Hee Kim Retains WBF World Title

South Korea icon and hero Ju Hee Kim showed exactly why she is the light flyweight champion with an emphatic 6th round stoppage over the game Ploynapa Sakrungrueng from Thailand to retain her World Boxing Federation World Title Friday March 30 in Seoul.

Before a packed University Hall of almost three thousand, Kim thrilled the many students at the university where she studied with a dominant display, and improved her impressive record to 16-1-1 (7). Sakrungrueng dropped to
5-2 (0).

After an even and slow paced first round, Ju Hee showed impressive skills
and a good work rate, while Sakrungrueng was always dangerous on the
counter. However, as the fight wore on the champion gained more and more
control, and finally overwhelmed the challenger in the sixth.

Ju Hee will defend again in North Korea at the end of the year. Special
mention must be made of WBF representative Moon Sung for his outstanding
contribution to the excellence of the event. WBF Supervisor in attendance

was president Howard Goldberg from South Africa.

CLETUS SELDIN RETURNS TO BATTLE ON MARCH 31ST AT THE PARAMOUNT

"The Hebrew Hammer" Cletus Seldin heads back to the ring on Saturday, March 31st at Star Boxing's ROCKIN' FIGHTS 3, at The Paramount in Huntington, Long Island.

The 25-year-old Seldin has turned heads in the New York City area with his stunning knockouts in his last three bouts, raising his record to 6-0-0 with five knockouts since turning pro in July 2011.

At ROCKIN' FIGHTS 3, the former bodybuilding champion will face off against Rochester, New York's Marcus Hall, 5-4-1 (2KO's) in a scheduled six round welterweight tilt.

On January 28th at The Paramount, Seldin wasted little time against Tyler Pogline; drilling him to the canvas three times as referee Ricky Gonzalez called a halt to the carnage at the 2:25 mark of the opening round.

Recently signed to Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing, plans are big for Seldin. "Cletus has the attributes to be very successful in boxing. Only six fights into his pro career and it's already obvious he has world-class knockout power and has a huge following. The fans are turning out in strong numbers and he's impressing them with his knockouts" said DeGuardia.

On October 22nd, Seldin fought on the undercard of the HBO televised Nonito Donaire/Omar Narvaez bantamweight world title bout at Madison Square Garden, "The Mecca of Boxing."

Seldin came prepared, stopping Jose Segura Torres in brutal fashion with Torres hitting the canvas three times towards a second round knockout in front of the sold out crowd of over 4,500 in The Theatre.

CHRIS ALGIERI HEADLINES ON LONG ISLAND SATURDAY NIGHT

"The Fighting Pride of Huntington, Long Island", Chris Algieri has returned home to headline ROCKIN' FIGHTS 3, a world class professional boxing card presented by Star Boxing this Saturday night, March 31st at The Paramount in Huntington, Long Island.

The undefeated Algieri, 13-0-0 (6KO's), will battle Rochester, New York's Winston Mathis, 7-4-1 (2KO's), in the junior welterweight main event.

Although future plans for Algieri include medical school as well as pursuing a world title, he recently returned from his first training camp, joining numerous world champions and contenders in Oxnard, California, under the watchful eye of noted trainer and former lightweight world champion Robert Garcia.

"I went for three weeks and the training was terrific. It seemed like the whole gym had fights coming up this Saturday as do I so we were all on the same schedule" said Algieri.

"The gym has a very electric atmosphere. Most of my sparring came against Brandon Rios and Rolando Reyes. Training alongside world-class fighters like Rios and Kelly Pavlik was a great experience. Kelly and I worked out together and ran every morning and he really pushed me."

About returning to Oxnard, Algieri stated, "Next time I'll go back for a longer period. Although Robert won't be in my corner, his guidance while training out there was a perfect compliment to my trainers, Keith Trimble and Tim Lane."

In regards to fighting at The Paramount for the third straight fight and facing Mathis, Algieri said, "The Paramount is perfect, I've been home for just a couple days and my phone hasn't stopped ringing with people wanting to buy tickets. We've sold it out the last two times and should again this Saturday night."

"I've seen some tapes of Mathis' fights. He's an aggressive boxer who I'm sure is coming to win. But my team has put together a game plan and it's my job to execute it."

The Algieri/Mathis bout headlines the sensational seven bout ROCKIN' FIGHTS 3card.

Women’s MMA Promotion Invicta FC Joins Streaming Party

All-women’s mixed martial arts promotion Invicta FC announced today that their first event will stream live via the promotions website free of charge. The live stream has recently become the way for foreign-based MMA promotions to gain some traction inside the American market. But the Kansas City based Invicta sees it as a way for the new women’s league to reach more local fans.

“The live stream,” said Invicta President Shanon Knapp in a press release, “is the best way to give fans, no matter where they are located, the opportunity to participate and take in the action as it unfolds and, at the same time, establish the forthcoming Invicta website as an online destination for women’s MMA content.”

MMA promotions in the past that have been purely dedicated to women’s divisions have been somewhat flash in the plan in the US, which places Invicta in what is already considered an experimental position. To top it off, Invicta has brought together some of the most well-known free agents in women’s MMA, so its inaugural event will likely not be the most low-cost start up for a new professional promotion.

Invicta FC will debut April 28th at 8 PM EST at Memorial Hall in Kansas City. The first Invicta card is headlined by former Strikeforce champion Marloes Coenen in a rematch with Romy Ruyssen. The bout will also feature former Bellator fighters Jessica Penne and Lisa Ellis-Ward.

Ju Hi Kim Set For Second Title-Defense‏

Ju Hi Kim Set For Second Title-Defense

South Koreas World Boxing Federation Women’s World Light Flyweight
Champion Ju Hi Kim is set to make her second title-defense on Friday March 30 in hometown Seoul, taking on tough challenger Ploynapa Sakrungrueng from Thailand.

26-year-old Kim, 15-1-1 (6), won the WBF World title in September 2010 when she outpointed Jujeath Nagaowa from the Philippines, and successfully defended it last July with a unanimous decision over another Thai, Fahpratan Looksaikongdin.

Ploynapa Sakrungrueng, 5-1 (0), turned professional at seventeen in 2010
after an extensive Muay Thai career, and amazingly fought for her first
title in only her second bout, losing a decision to another Korean,
Yeon-Hee Kim, for a regional strap. Since then she has racked up four
straight victories, and at 19 years old has the advantage of youth on her
side.

WBF President Howard Goldberg will be ringside for the fight, and the
South African is certain it will be well worth the long flight from Cape
Town, saying: “I was in South Korea for Kim’s first title defense, and
it was a fantastic fight. She is a very entertaining fighter, and when you
pair that with the fact that Sakrungrueng is an immensely talented
up-and-coming boxer I think we are in for a treat once again”.

Besides the WBF World title, Ju Hi Kim has also captured a host of other
championships since her debut in 2001 at only fifteen years of age, some
of which will also be on the line against Sakrungrueng.

A sell-out crowd is expected to cheer on the national sporting hero as she
attempts to continue her impressive reign as queen of the Light Flyweights.
