Elena “Baby Doll” Reid switches gloves for “Extreme Beatdown” fight against Michelle Waterson Special Guest Brock Lesnar Saturday Night

PHOENIX– Two-time world boxing champion Elena “Baby Doll” Reid is one of the few hybrid fighters, equally adept at professional boxing and mixed-martial-arts, and she’ll display her MMA skills Saturday night (April 11) in “Extreme Beatdown,” featuring a pair of Sovereign Nations Mixed Martial Arts (SNMMA) championship matches, as well as a special appearance by MMA heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, Apache Gold Casino, located five miles east of Globe in San Carlos, Arizona.

Former Arizona high school wrestlers, Yaotzin Meza (11-4-0) and Jamie “The Headhunter” Schmidt (7-2-0), will fight for the SNMMA featherweight title in the main event (5 five-minute rounds).

SNMMA links federally recognized tribes throughout the United States and Canada. SNMMA’s mission is to develop, promote and help regulate mixed-martial-arts in a fair and professional manner by federally recognized tribes that are sovereign nations.



Show sponsors include MTX Audio, Respek MMA Fight Gear, Catch 22 Sports Grill, and Hacienda Harley. Highlights of “Extreme Beatdown” will be taped and later shown on HD Net’s Inside MMA Show.

Phoenix-based Reid (2-0-0), who sports a 19-5-6 (5 KOs) pro record, takes on Michelle “The Karate Hottie” Waterson (7-2-0), from Albuquerque, in a special female 112-pound catch-weight attraction match.

Reid, who has a Bachelor’s degree in marketing from UNLV and will soon be attending Arizona State University to pursue another degree in leadership/management for non-profit organizations, started kick-boxing when she 15 and she won a few titles. Finding it difficult to get kick-boxing fights, she concentrated on boxing and eventually dabbled in MMA. “I was living in Las Vegas and was surrounded by MMA fighters with Randy Couture and I knew Gina (Carano) when she was starting out,” the former Liberty College student said. “MMA was another way of fighting, a good outlet for me to do, and I’m having more MMA fights because it’s tougher getting boxing matches.

“I started calling out Michelle six months ago. We hung out a little three months back at an MMA event. She’s cool, beautiful and was on an MMA fight television show. Michelle’s into karate and has a Taekwondo background. She wants to go on the ground and I want to stay on my feet.. I hope that she wants to stand, I’ve heard her say that about other fights, but styles make fights and this should be exciting for fans to watch.”

The first SNMMA super heavyweight (266-pounds or more) title will be contested in the co-feature (5-five minute rounds) as local hero Chance “King of the Street” Williams (6-2-0), who hails from nearby Globe (AZ), meets Las Vegas invader Brice Ritani-Coe (2-0-0).

Lesnar will be at “Extreme Beatdown” to sign autographs and pose for pictures with fans, as well as to support his friend and Minnesota Martial Arts Academy workout partner, Chris Tuchscherer (16-1-0), the first and reigning SNMMA heavyweight champion. The former 2-time NCAA, Division II All-America wrestler, Tuchscherer, from Fargo (ND), is slated to fight in a non-title match against unbeaten Jamie Klair (7-0-0).

Phoenix-based MMA rising stars on hand at “Beatdown Extreme” for a meet-and-greet with the public include Efrain Escudero, Danny Martinez, Ben Henderson and others.

Also on the undercard is Phoenix bantamweight Jesse “Arturo” Moreng (8-1-0) vs. Brandon Miller (3-3-0), of Fresno (CA); Phoenix light heavyweight Jesse “Kid Hercules” Forbes (8-3-0) vs. Shane De Zee, of Minneapolis; Phoenix middleweight Ray “C4” Steinbeiss (11-5-0) vs. Chris Hugh (6-2-0), of Bismarck (ND); Phoenix lightweights Chris Gruetzemacher (0-2-0) vs. Josh Gaskins (4-1-0); Phoenix middleweight Jeremy Larsen (3-1-0) vs. Jeff Horlatcher (6-16-0), of Globe (AZ); York (ND) heavyweight Seth Harrison (2-1-0) vs. TBA.

See you at the Fights.

Remillard’s new journey started in Maryland and continues outside New England

MANCHESTER, Conn.– WBC Youth and USNBC featherweight champion Matt “Sharp Shooter” Remillard, fighting for the first time as a pro outside of New England, enjoyed his expanded base experience and used his Maryland fight as a barometer to gauge his improvement in the past year.

The 22-yar-old Remillard (17-0, 9 KOs), fighting out of Manchester, Connecticut, stopped 52-fight veteran and former world title challenger Jesus Perez in three rounds at Michael’s Eight Avenue in Glen Burnie, Maryland. Remillard floored Perez, who was unable to answer the bell for the fourth round, in the second and twice in the third.

“It was a new experience and I was more relaxed, not feeling awkward about the crowd or anything,” Matt spoke about fighting outside of New England for the first time. “There was no pressure worrying about satisfying my hometown fans. I was excited about making new fans. During the walk to the ring with my music playing there was no real response from the crowd, but they got excited during the fight and couldn’t have been more responsive after the fight. It was an experience I was looking forward to and I was very happy with the result.”

Remillard was coming off of arguably his most impressive win, by 6-round decision against 3-time world champion (34-9-2) Maurico Pastrana, last November. Ranked No. 23 by the WBC, as well as No. 4 by the USBA and NABF, Remillard won a four-round decision to Perez August 21, 2008 at Mohegan Sun.

“I beat Perez the first fight, too, but he made me look bad on ESPN,” Remillard explained his thoughts about the rematch. “It was almost a year earlier and I looked at it, at least on paper, as a sign of how much I’ve improved in that time. I didn’t want to leave it in the judges’ hands this fight.”

Remillard hopes to return to the ring in May, most likely in Reno or Texas, and he’s embracing the opportunity to expand his base nationally. “I’ve passed the point where I’m a club or hometown fighter,” he noted. “Nobody’s going to say the judges or referee is on my side. I have to fight on the road and would love to fight someday at Madison Square Garden, where so many legends have fought, and in Las Vegas.

“I’m improving every fight, taking everything one fight at a time. By the end of this year, hopefully, I’ll be in the top 20. I want to be fighting on the networks to showcase myself and build my name to get where I want to be – world champion!”

See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.

“FAST” EDDIE CHAMBERS TO VALUEV : “WHY NOT FACE ME NEXT?”

PHILADELPHIA- World ranked Heavyweight contender, “Fast” Eddie Chambers believes he should be next in-line to face WBA Heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev.

Chambers, 34-1 with eighteen knockouts is coming off a huge victory when he scored a majority decision victory over former WBC champion Samuel Peter on March 27th in Los Angeles.


“Fast” Eddie Chambers

“I feel I am the most deserving contender out there”, said Chambers.

“Look at my resume compared to some of these guys getting title shots. I have beaten guys like Derrick Rossy, Dominick Guinn, Calvin Brock and Samuel Peter. I am the first man that does not have the last name of Klitschko to defeat Peter.”

Chambers has not rested on his laurels since defeating Peter just over a week ago and he is already back in the gym waiting for his deserved opportunity.

“I have worked so hard to get to this point and with the big prize just a fight away, it has motivated me to the point that I wanted to fight for the title the morning after the Peter fight.”

“My promoter Dan Goossen has done some great things for me and I know he will work hard to secure the coveted world title challenge. I know the Klitschko’s are tied up with other fights, so I think a fight with Valuev would be a great fight considering our contrast of styles.

There have been rumblings that Valuev (50-1, 34 KO’s) may make a voluntary defense of his WBA “Interim” Heavyweight crown.

“If Valuev makes that voluntary defense, there is no better fighter in the world that deserves this shot more then the man who just beat the former WBC champion Samuel Peter and that’s “Fast” Eddie Chambers”, said Dan Goossen of Goossen-Tutor Promotions.

See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.

SHO MMA: STRIKEFORCE CHALLENGERS SERIES DEBUT

NEW YORK- Undefeated lightweight (155 lb. limit) sensation Billy Evangelista (9-0) will fight hard-hitting brawler and BJ Penn protégé “Iron” Mike Aina (11-6-1) in the main event of the inaugural, newly titled SHO MMA: Strikeforce Challengers series from leading MMA promoter Strikeforce and premium television network SHOWTIME, on Friday, May 15 at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif.

The SHOWTIME telecast will air live beginning at 11 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast) and feature up to five MMA fights including Kim “Sugar Free” Couture (1-1), wife of MMA legend Randy “The Natural” Couture, facing an opponent to be named.

SHO MMA: Strikeforce Challengers provides MMA’s hottest prospects with the opportunity to perform at a high level of competition in a nationally televised event.

“This is where the men—and women—will be separated from the boys, so to speak,” said Strikeforce founder and CEO Scott Coker. “The growth and future of our sport just got a turbo injection. For regional fighters and up-and-coming men and women looking to test themselves against other top prospects and get on the fasttrack to stardome, SHO MMA: Strikeforce Challengers is the place to do it. I can’t wait for this first event.”

Tickets for the first SHO MMA: Strikeforce Challengers event go on sale Monday, April 13 at 10 a.m. PT at the Save Mart Center box office and select Save Mart Supermarkets as well as at all Ticketmaster locations (800-745-3000), Ticketmaster online (www.ticketmaster.com) and Strikeforce’s official website (www.strikeforce.com).

“I don’t know anything about my opponent, but it doesn’t matter because I know he’s going to try to take me out like everyone else has, so it’ll be my job to react to whatever he does,” said the 28-year-old Evangelista, who fights out of Fresno. “I’ve got a great team behind me and I’ve been training really hard so I’m not worried.”

A finely tuned Muay Thai technician and wrestling expert, Evangelista notched his last Strikeforce victory by turning the tides on road warrior Luke “Lil’ Hulk” Caudillo in a thrilling slugfest at Broomfield, Colo., on October 3, 2008. After being dropped twice with punches in the first round, a determined Evangelista battled back in the following two rounds to earn a unanimous decision.

Three and a half months prior to his conquest of Caudillo, Evangelista secured a key win over Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu expert Nam Phan in Strikeforce action at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California.

The 28-year-old Aina has never been stopped over the course of 18 professional starts. Born and raised in Hilo, Hawaii, he has been a student of MMA superstar Penn for six years and has since developed a dangerous, hybrid fighting style that favors dirty boxing and kickboxing and is supported by a strong Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu foundation.

“It’s a big opportunity for me,” said Aina of the matchup with Evangelista. “Billy is no slouch. I’m expecting a really tough fight because we have similar styles. We both like to stand up even though we’re both also well rounded. I’m going in with a positive mindset and I’m ready to work hard in there.”

Aina nearly pulled off a stunning upset of superstar Nick Diaz when the two faced off in Hilo on September 15, 2007. Aina stalked Diaz in the early going of their matchup and got the better of Diaz in a few of their exchanges. By the third round, however, fatigue set in and Aina’s pace slowed while Diaz, known for his outstanding stamina, continued to dish out punishment before earning a split decision.

“I kind of wore out as the fight went on,” admitted Aina. “Nick stands up in front of you and doesn’t give you a break. I definitely think I won the first two rounds, hands down, but that’s why you can’t leave things in the hands of the judges. That fight definitely tested my character and helped bring my game to the next level.”

Since the loss to Diaz, Aina has reeled off two straight wins, his last being a first round submission of

Ismael Gonzalves on August 9, 2008.

Couture made her debut with Strikeforce on November 21, 2008 against Lina Kvokov. Couture, who recently added K-1 superstar Ray Sefo to her team of world-class trainers, quickly overwhelmed Kvokov with punch flurries and knee strikes in the first round of their matchup at San Jose’s HP Pavilion. After Kvokov turned her back due to her inability to defend herself any longer, the referee ordered a stoppage at the 1:44 mark of the opening round, giving Couture a victory by way of TKO.

See you at the Fights.

Ouma to fight Rosado in co-feature on April 24th Duddy-Lyell Card Undercard Announcement

Main Events Boxing Series continues to uphold the benchmark of providing quality boxing matches and exciting entertainment for true fight fans at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, on April 24th. In the words of matchmaker, Russell Peltz, “This is going to be a terrific show!” Fight fans will not be disappointed.

The main event is the 10 round battle between Middleweights, “Irish” John Duddy of Derry, Ireland (26-0, 17 KO’s) and Billy Lyell of Warren, OH (18-7, 3 KO’s).
“Irish” John Duddy


The undercard promises to be action packed. The co-feature is a 10-rounder involving two Junior Middleweights, each with much to prove. Kassim “The Dream” Ouma, of Kampala, Uganda, (26-5-1, 16 KO’s) will wage war against “King” Gabriel Rosado of Philadelphia, PA, (11-3, 7 KO’s). Ouma is at a crossroads in his career and needs to beat Rosado to get back in the rankings. The former IBF World Junior Middleweight Champ challenged Jermain Taylor for the world middleweight title Dec. 9, 2006 and lost a unanimous 12-round decision in Little Rock, AR, in a good fight where Ouma came on strong at the end. Ouma ended a three-fight losing streak with his last fight this past October against Martinus Clay, but now he faces a much tougher task in Rosado. Rosado, known as a fighter who likes to bang it out and please the crowd, wants to use Ouma as a stepping stone to improve his ranking. He beat, then unbeaten, James Moore last June in New York on ESPN 2 and recently KO’d Ariel Espinal on April 4 in Philly. Expect a lot of action in this fight!

There are two solid 8 round fights on the card as well. Undefeated, Middleweight “Patrick” Przemyslaw Majewski of Radom, Poland and Atlantic City (9-0, 6 KO’s), will be an ambassador for the Polish fight fans that traditionally rock Pru Center when he takes on James Lubash, of Pittsburgh, PA (13-1, 6 KO’s). Lubash’s record proves he is an inspiration in the sport, having been deaf since birth. The matchup should prove to be exciting as well as motivating.

Junior Welterweight, Jason Cintron, Reading, PA, (10-0, 3 KO’s) will fight a tough 8-rounder with his opponent “Hammerin” Henry Lundy, Philadelphia, PA, (12-0-1, 5 KO’s). Two promising, young prospects with undefeated records, someone’s O must go!

In a 4 round Cruiserweight match, local Jersey City fighter, Patrick “Paddy Boy” Farrell (1-0, 1KO) will further delight the Irish boxing fans that evening as he boxes Doug Bowling of Wooster, OH (0-1). South Korean lightweight, Sung-Dae Gang (6-1, 2 KO’s) will round out the night’s fan-worthy card with an opponent TBA.

Patrick “Paddy Boy” Farrell


See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.

Meza & Schmidt fighting for 1st SNMMA featherweight championship in “Extreme Beatdown” headliner Special Guest Brock Lesnar April 11

PHOENIX– A pair of former Arizona high school wrestlers, featherweights Yaotzin Meza and Jamie “The Headhunter” Schmidt, will fight for one of two Sovereign Nations Mixed Martial Arts (SNMMA) title belts being contested for Saturday night, April 11 in “Extreme Beatdown” at Apache Gold Casino, located five miles east of Globe in San Carlos, Arizona. MMA heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar will be a special guest at “Extreme Beatdown.”

SNMMA links federally recognized tribes throughout the United States and Canada. SNMMA’s mission is to develop, promote and help regulate mixed-martial-arts in a fair and professional manner by federally recognized tribes that are sovereign nations.

Show sponsors include MTX Audio, Respek MMA Fight Gear, Catch 22 Sports Grill, and Hacienda Harley. Highlights of “Extreme Beatdown” will be taped and later shown on HD Net’s Inside MMA Show.

Meza (11-4-0), fighting out of Phoenix and representing Southwest MMA, takes on Schmidt (7-2-0), now fighting out of Denver for N.E.S.T., in the main event (5 five-minute rounds) for the first SNMMA featherweight title belt. Meza and Schmidt have similar fighting styles due to their wrestling backgrounds.

“It’s going to be a good experience,” Meza said. “I’m really excited to be in the main event for the first time and fighting for the SNMMA title. I’m finally in the last fight of the night. I’ll go the way the fight goes. I’m a wrestler who likes to ground and pound, but I’m also comfortable fighting on my feet. If I’m not doing too well on my feet, I’ll push for a takedown. Schmidt’s tough and I never underestimate anybody. I think he’s a wrestler who likes to fight on his feet. It’s going to be an exciting fight. We’re both wrestlers and that makes for a great match-up.”

Schmidt was born and raised in Arizona, where he first started free style wrestling when he was only six. “I turned my life around fighting,” the 24-year-old Schmidt explained. “I started out wrestling but now I’m a better stand-up fighter. I have heavy hands. I practice kick boxing and Jiu-Jitsu, too. This is a big fight for me. Basically, a win will push me to the next level, and I’ll be able to make MMA fighting more of a career. I really like to stand-up and bang but, if we go down to the mat, he’s in even more trouble. I’m comfortable in either situation. Meza’s a wrestler and I don’t think he likes to get hit. I want to stand and bang, he wants to go to the ground, where I’ll submit him even faster because my Jiu-Jitsu is much better than his.”

In the other SNMMA championship match, the first super heavyweight (266-pounds or more) belt will be on the line in the co-feature (5-five minute rounds) between local hero Chance “King of the Street” Williams (6-2-0), who hails from nearby Globe (AZ), and Las Vegas invader Brice Ritani-Coe (2-0-0).

Lesnar will be at “Extreme Beatdown” to sign autographs and pose for pictures with fans, as well as to support his friend and Minnesota Martial Arts Academy workout partner, Chris Tuchscherer (16-1-0), the first and reigning SNMMA heavyweight champion. The former 2-time NCAA, Division II All-America wrestler, Tuchscherer, from Fargo (ND), is slated to fight in a non-title match against an opponent to be determined.

Phoenix-based MMA rising stars on hand at “Beatdown Extreme” for a meet-and-greet with the public include Efrain Escudero, Danny Martinez, Ben Henderson and others.

Phoenix’ hybrid MMA/boxing star Elena “Baby Doll” Reid (2-0-0), who is a 2-time world boxing champion with a 19-5-6 (5 KOs) pro record, meets Michelle “The Karate Hottie” Waterson (7-2-0), from Albuquerque, in a special female 112-pound catch-weight attraction bout.

Also on the undercard is Phoenix bantamweight Jesse “Arturo” Moreng (8-1-0) vs. Brandon Miller (3-3-0), of Fresno (CA); Phoenix light heavyweight Jesse “Kid Hercules” Forbes (8-3-0) vs. Shane De Zee, of Minneapolis; Phoenix middleweight Ray “C4” Steinbeiss (11-5-0) vs. Chris Hugh (6-2-0), of Bismarck (ND); Phoenix lightweights Chris Gruetzemacher (0-2-0) vs. Josh Gaskins (4-1-0); Phoenix middleweight Jeremy Larsen (3-1-0) vs. Jeff Horlatcher (6-16-0), of Globe (AZ); York (ND) heavyweight Seth Harrison (2-1-0) vs. TBA

Bob “The Beast” Sapp Fight Engine’s Head Conductor

LAS VEGAS– Combat fighting legend Bob “The Beast” Sapp is firmly stationed in the corner of www.FightEngine.com, the newly launched state-of-the-art website that’s revolutionizing the way mixed-martial-arts fighters market themselves, promoters and managers scout talent, and fans become real matchmakers.

“I’ve seen too many greedy promoters during the time I’ve been involved in fighting,” Sapp explained why he’s involved in Fight Engine. “Every fighter wants to be a star and each promoter wants to take advantage of fighters. Nobody was really helping fighters. We’ve decided to stimulate that effort through fightengine.com. The body has several features like arms, legs, etc. We’ve chosen the hand to demonstrate Fight Engine’s philosophy. On our logo, fighters are represented by fingers, and together they form a strong fist. Fight Engine is a sign of the times with all of the latest technology enabling promotional companies to search worldwide for their next stars, while spending little money and without leaving the comforts of their offices. In the future, we hope to offer retirement and health packages. This is the first union of MMA fighters, but we have to take things one step at a time. Our early success rate has been very positive.

“For MMA fans, we took fantasy fighting – like fantasy football – into reality through Fight Engine because they can vote for whom they want to watch fight, passionately discuss potential fights with other fans, and determine the people’s fighters, top entertainers and champions all in one. People are not just spectators because, through Fight Engine, they pick fights they want to watch, as opposed to boring fights or mismatches that have, unfortunately, become the norm today.”

FightEngine.com works for a nominal fee with any and all MMA promoters and fighters to gain International notoriety. Registered fighters from around the world, whether a veteran or novice, may post his or her video and challenge other registered fighters, allowing each participant to accept or deny challenges, as well as express their semi-uncensored opinions about any posted challenges.

FightEngine.com is non-discriminatory, providing male and female fighters, as well as ring girls, opportunities to gain invaluable exposure on the website. Promoters and managers are already closely monitoring fightengine.com to scout for their next street fighting prospect.

In a similar manner by which Kimbo Slice went from underground Internet legend to a high-profile MMA fighter, fightengine.com offers an opportunity for some selected MMA fighters to earn a guaranteed five-figure purse, sign a potential six-figure promotional contract, paid travel expenses and, in the not too distant future, hopefully, other life-changing benefits through membership.

Fans can get in on the action, for free, simply by registering on the website to become quasi-matchmakers, picking fighters they’d like to watch in matches, in addition to commenting about fights other spectators propose.

A thermometer can be found on the right-hand side of the website, which will illuminate on a rising basis, according to the amount of registered fighters, and subsequently fights will be arranged when the thermometer reaches its apex.

Thanks for your time.

NAKASH STOPS BRUNELLI IN SEVEN ON CUTS TO HIGHLIGHT “SPRING FLING” FIGHT CARD AT THE LEGENDARY BLUE HORIZON‏

PHILADELPHIA— This past Friday night it was a festive atmosphere in front of a sold out crowd at The Legendary Blue Horizon as Ran Nakash remained undefeated by scoring a seventh round stoppage over Dave Brunelli in the battle of Israel and Italy that highlighted a terrific seven bout card that was dubbed “Spring Fling”

Nakash (18-0, 14 KO’s) of Haifa, Israel notched his ninth straight knockout as he made Brunelli’s nose bleed in round two and systematically took apart Brunelli (8-5) and cut Brunelli around both eyes which forced the ringside physician to stop the bout at 1:18 of round seven of the scheduled eight round bout.

In the co-feature, Julias Edmonds was all over Tyric Robinson from the word go and made life very uneasy for Robinson and scored a mild upset by scoring a unanimous decision in a six round Jr. Welterweight bout of Philadelphia natives.

Scores were 60-54, 60-54 and 58-56 for Edmonds, who is quickly becoming a Blue Horizon favorite.

Also on the undercard, cruiserweight Julio Cesar Matthews, featherweight Joselito Collado, welterweight Ronald Cruz and cruiserweight Taneal Goyco remained undefeated with unanimous decision victories

The fights were be broadcasted all over the world on www.gofightlive.tv and this great night of action is still available for viewing pleasure for $4.99
See you at the Fights.

Bradley outlasts Holt; Andrade finishes off Tsypko on SHOWTIME‏. BRADLEY UNIFIES 140-POUND WBC & WBO TITLES IN A CLOSE CONTEST;ANDRADE OUTGUNS TSYPKO

ALL photos credit Tom Casino/SHOWTIME

MONTREAL, Canada– Fists were flying in Montreal as Timothy Bradley and Kendall Holt exchanged fierce blows for 12 electrifying rounds to unify the 140-pound World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Organization (WBO) titles on Saturday evening’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. In the end, Bradley won a close unanimous decision with two judges scoring the bout 115-111 and the third 114-112.

Timothy Bradley (24-0) remained the aggressor throughout and the counter-punching Kendall Holt (25-3) never found a rhythm to unify two titles in the light welterweight division.

In the co-feature, an International Boxing Federation (IBF) super middleweight title eliminator, Librado Andrade continually beat Vitali Tsypko to the punch. Andrade earned a clear unanimous decision with two judges scoring the bout 117-109 and the third scoring a shutout, 120-106.

The evening of fights, presented by Gary Shaw Productions, Top Rank, Inc., Thompson Boxing and Gillett Entertainment Group, Inc., emanated from The Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada. The co-feature was presented in association with Sauerland Events and Golden Boy Promotions. It aired live on SHOWTIME® at 10:45 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the west coast).

Bradley of Palm Springs, Calif., was knocked down with a vicious left hook in the first round but jumped right back up. Bradley took a knee in order to compose himself and rose again at the count of “8” to continue on.

A walloping left hook by Kendall Holt floored Timothy Bradley in the first round. But surprisingly, he sprang to his feet and shook it off to record an exciting 12-round unanimous decision on SHOWTIME.


Bradley fought back furiously as the fight progressed. He became the more physical fighter, pushing the action and causing Holt’s corner to yell for him to move forward and take control of the fight.

In the 12th round with less then 20 seconds to go, Holt sent Bradley to the canvas for a second time, but Bradley seemed unfazed and both finished the fight strong.

When ring announcer Jimmy Lennon, Jr. announced him as the new 140-pound WBC and WBO champion, Bradley became overwhelmed with emotion and fell to his knees.

The World Boxing Council (WBC) champ coming in, Timothy Bradley took home more hardware, adding Kendall Holt’s World Boxing Organization (WBO) strap to his collection.

After the fight, the undefeated Bradley (24-0, 11 KOs) said, “I kept my faith and gave tonight everything I got. This is a dream come true for me. I knew one day this would happen and I give it all to God. I came in tonight in tremendous shape. I prepared myself well.”

Referring to the two knockdowns, Bradley credited Holt saying, “Kendall is sneaky. He is a crafty fighter and I got caught. He hits hard and I know everybody will be chasing me thinking I have a glass chin but they don’t know how hard he hits.”

An upset Holt (25-3, 12 KOs) said after the fight, “I’m disappointed in myself. I let my fans down and I let my corner down. I gave away the middle rounds with a lack of work.”

When asked what was next for him Holt responded with only one thing in mind. “Rematch. It was a close fight and I want the rematch.”

While Tsypko (22-3, 12 KOs) of the Ukraine started off strong, Andrade (28-2, 21 KOs) proved to be the quicker and more composed fighter. Andrade landed a straight right hand to Tsypko’s jaw that dropped him in the second. Tsypko was able to beat the count but found himself down again in the seventh after being hit with a solid right uppercut.

On the button! Librado Andrade (28-2, 21 KOs) punished Vitali Tsypko (22-3, 12 KOs) with consistent and accurate shots through 12 rounds earning the clear unanimous decision.


A short, flush right hand by Librado Andrade sent Vitali Tsypko down in the second found. Tsypko would again taste canvas in the seventh in his loss to Andrade Saturday in an International Boxing Federation (IBF) super middleweight eliminator.



In a scintillating 12th and final round, Andrade of Fontana, Calif., and Tsypko kept a quick pace trading blows back and forth. When the final bell rang Andrade was announced the winner, moving him into the number one spot and top contender for the IBF super middleweight title which is currently held by Canadian superstar Lucian Bute.

“He was very economical with his punches,” said Andrade. “I had to be careful when I hurt him. If I got too aggressive, he could get the edge and I would be in trouble. I felt that I had him in the fifth round but he is such a good boxer that he slipped away. “

Speaking of a potential rematch with Bute, Andrade said, “If it happens, I would be more then happy. This is a beautiful city and a beautiful country. The people here support boxing, they support the fighters and Bute is lucky to be from here.”

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING announcers Gus Johnson and Al Bernstein called the action from ringside with Karyn Bryant reporting from ringside. The executive producer of SHOWTIME Sports is David Dinkins Jr., with Ray Smaltz producing with Bob Dunphy directing.

No Holds Barred: Ted Rybka of GLAAD on UFC

No Holds Barred: Ted Rybka of GLAAD on UFC

http://nhbnews.podOmatic.com/entry/2009-04-03T15_45_56-07_00

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman speaks with Ted Rybka, Director of Sports Media of Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) (http://www.glaad.org/). After UFC president Dana White issued a video blog with a rant including homophobic and sexist slurs, and after GLAAD received numerous complaints about this, Ted contacted UFC and White. An apology by White has since been posted on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVtTSXLsSlA).

In our interview with Ted, we spoke about why such slurs can be so harmful to the very well-being of people perceived as being gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender. We discussed White's apology, and what further contact GLAAD will have with UFC. We also discussed the efforts of GLAAD to educate both the media and the people about homophobia and sports.

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 once again discuss some of the good and bad going on in boxing. We begin with the ever-burgeoning negative side. We follow up on the commentaries of the past two weeks on this show by Dr. Margaret Goodman, focusing again on why the March 14 fight between Amir Khan and Marco Antonio Barrera should have been stopped far sooner than it was because of a severe cut on Barrera's forehead due to an accidental head clash in the first round. We discuss the latest findings in the Antonio Margarito-Javier Capetillo hand wrap scandal, where authorities in California have officially revealed that the hand wraps they were attempting to use against Shane Mosley in their January 24 fight contained calcium and sulfur, two key ingredients of plaster of Paris. We explain that while lifetime bans of Margarito and Capetillo might be justified in this case, there is, unfortunately and incredibly, no central body in boxing which has the authority to issue such a ban. And we also discuss how the American boxing establishment has let the marquee division in boxing, the heavyweights, slip right through their hands and end up centered in Europe. On the positive side, we preview the important 140-pound title unification fight between WBO champion Kendall Holt (25-2, 13 KOs) and WBC champion Timothy Bradley (23-0, 11 KOs). This fight, between these two Americans, will take place Saturday, April 4, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It will be telecast live in the U.S. on Showtime. We spoke with both Kendall Holt and Timothy Bradley to get their views on what they expect to happen in this fight.

“Kassim The Dream” Ouma Documentary Receives Rave Reviews

On April 24 at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, Junior Middleweight, Kassim Ouma of Kampala, Uganda (26-5-1, 16 KO’s) will take on Troy Browning, of Philadelphia, PA (20-3-1, 8 KO’s) in what promises to be an exciting 10 round boxing match. The fight is the co-feature on a Main Event Boxing Series card that also features a 10 round battle between middleweights, John Duddy, of Derry, Ireland (26-0, 17 KO’s) and Billy Lyell from Warren, OH (18-7, 3 KO’s).

Ouma is no stranger to fighting both in and out of the ring. The engaging Uganda native’s life story was recently portrayed in a documentary which was produced in part by Forest Whitaker. In the film Kassim goes from Ugandan child soldier to world champion boxer. His tale of survival proves that against all odds, one can turn tragedy into inspiration. “Boxing is my therapy”, says Kassim.

Since its initial release the documentary has garnered rave reviews and has received numerous industry awards, including nomination by International Documentary Assoc. for Best Documentary Feature. Recently at the March 29th Ann Arbor Film Festival, “Kassim The Dream” received the Life Force Award, awarded to films of distinction and artistic accomplishment. A trailer of the film can be viewed at the “Kassim The Dream” film website. http://www.kassimthedream.com/ The film is due to open in theaters in late May.

When Kassim steps into the ring on April 24th to take on Troy Browning he intends to prove that his “therapy” is working to his advantage. He promises an action packed match, one he intends to win. “I’m excited to get back in the ring. I’ve been gone a long minute, working on the film. That’s been exciting, but now it’s time to get back to what I do best. I want the championship belt again. I have something to prove with this fight”, says Kassim.

See you at the Fights.

Shumenov takes on another former world champion May 9 vs. Berrio in Kazakhstan

LAS VEGAS– Two of the most exciting fighters in boxing will battle May 9th when world-rated light heavyweight contender Beibut Shumenov takes on former IBF super middleweight champion Alejandro “Naco” Berrio for the vacant IBA light heavyweight championships, as well as Shumenov’s WBO Asia Pacific and WBC Asian Boxing Council titles, outdoors at Khadjimukan Stadium in Shumenov’s hometown of Chimkent, Kazakhstan.

Shumenov-Berrio will be the 12-round main event on a card presented by KZ Event Productions, Inc., which is owned by the Shumenov brothers, Beibut and Chingis, and based in Las Vegas.

2004 Kazakhstan Olympian sensation Shumenov (7-0, 5 KOs), the 2008 WBC Asian Boxing Council Organization’s Boxer of the Year, who also holds the PABA light heavyweight belt, is already rated No. 8 by the WBA, No. 9 by the WBO and No. 16 by the WBC. His most notable win was a one-sided victory by 12-round decision (120-107, 120-108, 120-108) against former WBC title-holder Montell “Ice” Griffin (50-8, 30 KOs) last August in Kazakhstan.

Beibut’s last action was an impressive performance in Washington last December against former world title challenger Epifanio “Diamente” Mendoza (28-6-1), who was coming off a controversial loss to former world champion Jeff Lacy, easily winning on points by scores of 100-90, 98-92 and 97-93.

“All of us involved with KZ Event Productions are really looking forward to returning home to fight another world champion, Alejandro Berrio,” Beibut said. “I’ve really enjoyed being on the promotional side but, as we get closer to a fight, I’ll concentrate on training and my brother, Chingis, will handle all of the operations.“I’ve put myself on the fast track to fight the top light heavyweights in the world -- (Roy) Jones, (Glenn) Johnson and (Clinton) Woods, etc. We offered to fight several of these guys but they all turned us down. I want to promote and fight in the United States after the May 9 show. Maybe we can get one of the major networks involved so one of the top light heavyweights will finally agree to fight me. All I am looking for is to fight the very best and to be judged on my ability, not by the number of pro fights I’ve had so far. Look at whom I’ve beaten, not just the number. After Berrio, I’ll be willing to fight anybody in the world. Line them up and I’ll knock them all down.”

Bolivian knockout artist Berrio (28-5, 27 KOs), fighting out of Colombia, has been the distance only once in 33 pro fights, knocking out 27 of 28 victims, stopped in all five of his losses.

Berrio’s resume includes two victories against Robert Stiegltiz, in 2007 for the IBF super middleweight title, Syd Vanderpool and Yusaf Mack. Alejandro lost his IBF belt in 2007 to present holder Lucian Bute.

“Berrio isn’t coming to Kazakhstan just for a payday,” Shumenov noted. “He’s a very dangerous fighter but I am, too. They’ll be fireworks May 9, not just to celebrate my homecoming, but in the ring with two great warriors. Berrio has fought some of the best super middleweights in the world and now he’s moving up to fight me. I’m learning every time out and improving with each fight. I can’t wait for May 9th.”

The newest member of KZ Event Productions’ stable, unbeaten Uzbekistan light heavyweight prospect Gayratjon Ahmedov (10-0-1, 6 KOs), 4-time Uzbekistan national amateur champion, is scheduled to make his KZ debut on the May 9 card against an opponent to be determined.

See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.
