"THREE TO SEE" August 3rd Mohegan Sun NBC Sports Network Fight Night

Posted by Bud Mench Media Group -BMMG on July 12, 2013 at 0:21

IT'S NOW OR NEVER

FOR BATTLE-TESTED SAUL ROMAN

UNCASVILLE, CT - Mexican ring veteran Saul Roman has been in the boxing business for a long time. The grizzled pro they call "La Fiera", the "Wild Beast", began boxing thirteen years ago, and has compiled a proven record of 37-9, with 31 KOs. Roman has fought everyone, and pretty much seen it all in the sport. Although he's gotten close, Saul has yet to earn a shot at a world title. However, on August 3rd, he gets his chance to change all that. The timing couldn't be better because for Saul Roman it's now or never.

In perhaps his final opportunity to make an impression on the boxing world, Roman faces rising middleweight star Curtis "Showtime" Stevens, 24-3, 17 KOs, in the nationally televised main event on NBC Sports Network's Fight Night boxing series. The scheduled 10-rounder is the key bout on a big tripleheader which also features cruiserweights Eddie Chambers and Thabiso Mchunu, and heavyweights Tomasz Adamek and Tony Grano, in separate 10-round fights from the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT. The broadcast begins at 10:30 PM.

Born in Culiacan, Mexico, the same city that produced legend Julio Cesar Chavez, Saul Roman has battled top talent like Sergio Martinez, Vanes Martirosyan, Gabriel Rosado, Yuri Foreman, Kassim Ouma, Jesus Soto Karass, and was the first to defeat Marco Antonio Rubio.

The seasoned 33 year old now sets his sights on Curtis Stevens, one of the most promising young guns in the sport. A win over the power-punching New Yorker could vault Roman into the mix of the suddenly star-studded 160-pound division, and finally bring him the opportunity he's been chasing all these years.

With dangerous power of his own, and a seasoned toughness that Stevens has never quite experienced before, Roman has what it takes to give Curtis the fight of his life. The Mexican knows that he must win to stay relevant, and that failure to do so means he may never get this close again.

In other words, Roman's back is against the wall.

With his future at stake on August 3rd, "The Wild Beast" is ready to fight like a caged animal, which makes this experienced Mexican a very real and dangerous foe for the promising Stevens.

On August 3rd, it's now or never. And "La Fiera" is on the prowl.

 FIGHT INFO: August 3rd "Three To See" card at Mohegan Sun, Uncasville, CT.  In the main event Curtis Stevens and Saul Roman will clash for 10-rounds in a  middleweight war. Also co-featured will be a 10-round cruiserweight battle between Eddie Chambers and Thabiso Mchunu.  Heavyweight, Tomasz "Goral" Adamek will take on Tony Grano, Hartford, CT, 20-3-1, 16 KO's, for 10-rounds.

 

NBC Sports Network Fight Night will telecast the August 3rd show beginning10:30PM EDT.

 

Tickets are priced at $120 and $35 plus facility fees and can be purchased by calling Mohegan Sun Box office 860-862-8499 or through Ticketmaster. For ADA accessible sales, call Mohegan Sun Box Office at 860-862-8499.

Posted by Bud Mench Media Group -BMMG on July 11, 2013 at 18:31

STAR goes in on former Los Angeles Laker Dwight Howard, NY schools rejecting Michelle Obama's healthy food program and the new Superman movie being quality bullsh*t.

Boxing legend Thomas Hearns wants to revive sport in Detroit

Detroit— Emanuel Steward, Detroit’s godfather of boxing, would have turned 69 last Sunday.

Since his death last fall, boxing remains alive in Detroit, but the Kronk Boxing brand has been in hibernation. Boxers have been displaced. Some quit while others work out with former Kronk trainers in dingy gyms and unfamiliar studios.

Former boxing champion Thomas Hearns wants that to change.

“I made boxing famous here in Detroit, me and Emanuel together,” Hearns said. “In order to bring boxing back again we need somebody consistently doing fights. If you do, the people will support it if you give them what they want to see. Nobody wants any jive or junk. As long as you give them some great fights, some good talent and make it worth their while to spend money.

STEVENS AIMS FOR ANOTHER KO AGAINST ROMAN 8/3 NBCSN

CURTIS STEVENS AIMS FOR

ANOTHER KNOCKOUT AGAINST ROMAN

667.jpg   
  

UNCASVILLE, CT - The last time middleweight Curtis "Showtime" Stevens was in the ring, something happened that he didn't plan on. The hard-punching boxer from Brooklyn, NY was extended for the full 8-round limit. Although he won a unanimous decision that day, the result didn't sit well with the hot prospect. If it was up to Stevens, 24-3, 17 KOs, every single one of his fights would end in a KO.

"I don't get paid overtime," Stevens recently said, summing up his boxing philosophy.

The exciting New Yorker gets a chance to register another knockout when appears in the 10-round main event on August 3rd at the Mohegan Sun, in Uncasville, CT. Stevens faces veteran Saul Roman, 37-9, 31 KOs, in the nationally televised contest.

The fight is the highlight bout of a triple header card on the next edition of Fight Night. The other televised bouts feature heavyweight Tomasz Adamek, 48-2, 29 KOs, and Tony Grano, 20-3-1, 16 KOs, in a 10-round heavyweight contest, and Eddie Chambers, 36-3, 18 KOs, in his first cruiserweight fight against Thabiso Mchunu,13-0, 10 KOs, also scheduled for 10 rounds.

Prior to his last bout, Stevens blasted out his previous two opponents in a single round each. However, against Roman he will find a battle-tested professional who figures to seriously test his punching power. The Mexican has been in with the best and sees Stevens as the final hurdle to the world title shot that has eluded him during his 13-year career.

With Stevens on the brink of big things in the middleweight division, he will certainly bring his "A" game into the ring against Roman. And for Stevens that means only one thing - a knockout. However if Stevens wants to add another flashy KO to his record, he's going to have to work for it against Roman.

But that's exactly what Stevens has done throughout his boxing career. His penchant for punching surfaced early in his amateur days, when he was first labeled as a dangerous knockout artist. This reputation has stuck in the professional ranks, and Stevens would like nothing more than to make another statement in the nationally televised main event.

With both fighters in hot pursuit of victory, their fight on August 3rd should prove to be an explosive encounter.

 

FIGHT INFO: August 3rd "Three To See" card at Mohegan Sun, Uncasville, CT.  In the main event Curtis Stevens and Saul Roman will clash for 10-rounds in a  middleweight war.

Trainer John David Jackson Has Back-to Back Wins With Kovalev and Barthelemy

Posted by Bud Mench Media Group -BMMG on June 28, 2013 at 0:30

TRAINER JOHN DAVID JACKSON IN BACK-TO-BACK TITLE ELIMINATORS

In a very eventful week, trainer John David Jackson guided two of his fighters to victory in title elimination bouts, proving that he is indeed one of the best rising trainers in the boxing business.   Jackson, a former two-time world champion himself, helped two young boxers move a step closer toward their own championship dreams.

First, on Friday, June 14th, in Bethlehem, PA, "Russian Wrecking Ball" Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev, 21-0-1, 19 KOs, destroyed Houston's Cornelius "Da Beast" White to take the #1 spot in the IBF light heavyweight rankings. Kovalev's resounding 3rd round TKO in the scheduled 12-rounder was seen by a live national television audience on NBC Sports Network, and was the latest in a streak of devastating knockouts that have made fans cheer and opponents run.

The victory earned Kovalev a shot at the 175-pound belt currently held by boxing legend Bernard Hopkins. But rather than waiting for the 48 year old Hopkins to get around to giving him an opportunity, Kovalev instead accepted an immediate offer by HBO to face WBO light heavyweight champ Nathan Cleverly, 26-0, 12 KOs, onAugust 17th.  

On the following Friday night, June 21st, another of John David Jackson's top talents, Cuban Rances "Kid Blast" Barthelemy, 19-0, 12 KOs, lived up to his nickname by blasting out Fahsai Sakkreerin, 39-4-1, 21 KOs, of Thailand, at the Minneapolis (MN) Convention Center, in another title eliminator. Barthelemy, who now fights out of Miami, needed less than two rounds to claim the #1 perch in the IBF junior lightweight ratings. The fight, which ended at 1:26 of round two, was televised nationally by ESPN2.

Now the undefeated Barthelemy can look forward to a crack at New York-based Dominican Argenis Mendez, 21-2, 11 KOs, who currently holds the IBF belt at 130 pounds.

John David Jackson has worked with a number of world champions including Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosley, Nate Campbell, and Randall Bailey. Now with Kovalev already booked for a title fight and Barthelemy presumably following right behind, Jackson appears to be on the verge of soon adding more championship luster to his already impressive resume. Talk about a good week!
