Former Champ Jeff Lacy Returns To The Ring To Face Undefeated Prospect Sullivan Barrera on June 21 |
Wilkes-Barre, PA: The undercard for the June 21 match-up between Anatoliy "The Gladiator" Dudchenko (19-2, 13 KOs) and Nadjib Mohammedi (34-3, 20 KOs) is shaping up to be just as exciting as the main event. The highlight of the undercard is an eight-round light heavyweight fight between undefeated prospect Sullivan Barrera (11-0, 6 KOs) and former IBF Super Middleweight Champion Jeff Lacy (26-4, 18 KOs). This will be the toughest fight of Barrera's career thus far and an opportunity for both men to establish themselves as players on the light heavyweight scene.
According to Main Events' matchmaker, Jolene Mizzone, "This is a very important fight for both fighters in a very hot division. I went through about eight different opponents for Barrera that accepted the fight then backed out. Jeff reached out to me and asked for the fight. Barrera took about five minutes to accept the fight. Here you have two guys who really want to fight each other and have something to prove. Jeff was scheduled to fight about four times in the last year or so but all of the fights fell apart. This is an opportunity for both guys to prove they belong in the light heavyweight mix."
Barrera, 32, is coming off an impressive six-round unanimous decision victory over Larry Pryor at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, PA on April 4. This was Barrera's first victory since signing with Main Events earlier this year. This will be the first big test of Barrera's undefeated career. He said, "I am excited and happy that I was finally able to get an opponent for June 21. I want to continue to move my career forward and I am ready to fight." When asked about fighting Lacy, Sullivan said, "My game plan hasn't changed. I have seen Lacy fight before and, even though he was inactive for a while, he is still a fighter and when he gets in the ring he is going to try to win. We have a game plan put together and I am ready to fight."
"I would like to thank Main Events for the opportunity to once again showcase Sullivan. We are confident and ready to show the world that we can compete with the top guys in the light heavyweight division. We look forward to the victory June 21," said Barrera's co-manager Luis Molina. His other co-manager, Egis Klimas added, "This will be his toughest fight to date but a win over Lacy would propel Sullivan to the next level in the light heavyweight division. We think he is up to that challenge."
Jeff Lacy, 37, is a seasoned veteran who is coming off a third-round TKO victory over Martin Verdin on November 30, 2013 in Baton Rouge, LA. Lacy began his pro career with Main Events in 2001 after competing as a member of the 2000 U.S. Olympic Team. He fought under the Main Events banner until mid-2002. In the ensuing years, he remained undefeated and held the IBF Super Middleweight Title from 2004-2006, until suffering his first pro defeat to Joe Calzaghe. After taking some time off following a string of losses at super middleweight, Lacy is looking to make in impression as a light heavyweight. Lacy said, "I'm really looking forward to working with Main Events again and this match-up with Barrera really excites me. I am happy to return back to the ring after so many of the fights that I've had that were scheduled only to fall apart."
Roger Bloodworth, who trained Lacy for much of his career and has worked with heavyweight Tomasz "Goral" Adamek for the last several years, will work Lacy's corner on June 21. He said, "I don't know too much about Barrera. I watched one tape on him. I think he is a little bit taller than Jeff so I think this is a good fight for Jeff to see where he is at after his long lay-off."
Main Events' CEO Kathy Duva said, "I always enjoy when one of our past fighters comes back, even if it's just for one fight. Our split with Jeff was acrimonious but it's great that we can work together again now. The boxing business has always been one where you fight like dogs one day and turn around to work together the next. It's one of the things I love about it. Because of that, Sullivan is getting a big opportunity to make a name for himself and I can't wait to see how the fight plays out."

Lee O’Denat aka Q was spotted at the Chicago Gay convention on Thursday night (15th May)
Q seen in the photo far left after photo was leaked from a homosexual fan that was at the convention. The convention was held to support gay marriage and provided a outlet for others to come out and be open about their homosexuality social media has been on fire and competitors of worldstarhiphop.com has been taking this news and running with it.Q has not been able to be reached and ignored emails when asked about this photo that was leaked at the convention.There have been rumors about homosexual rappers in the hip-hop community most of those rumors are unconfrimed.A spokesperson at the event stated that Q was having a great time like he was part of the family.Other hip-hop and urban media sites such as http://www.hiphopdx.combossip.com and http://cantstophiphopworldwide.com have also declined to comment on there rival website owner.
Lee “Q” O’Denat started the website in 2005 as a distributor of mixtapes. Shortly after the website’s beginning, hackers destroyed the website. O’Denat later restarted it as a content aggregator.WorldStar began focusing on material similar to the videos of rappers engaging in fights with other rappers and almost-pornographic material that had been previously distributed offline, via physical media. O’Denat used the setup of OnSmash.com, a website which had already been distributing that sort of material. O’Denat said that this led to tension between the two websites. He added “Once we went 100 percent video, showing that original hood stuff, we prevailed.”

UNCASVILLE, CT -- In the main event at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut, world-rated contender Henry Lundy took another step towards a long awaited world title shot by stopping the son of legendary Hall of Famer Pipino Cuevas, Gerardo Pipino Cuevas, Jr., at 2:23 of the second round.
Lundy, 138 lbs., Philadelphia, PA, stalked Cuevas, 138 ½ lbs., Mexico City, Mexico, from the opening bell and never let him get comfortable. The win brings Lundy’s record to 25-3-1, 12 KO’s, while Cuevas falls to 17-12, 15 KO’s.
“I am ready for anyone,” said Lundy. “135 is where I want to be but if I have to go up to 140 or even 147, I don’t care, I want a world title belt around my waist.”
World rated WIBA International champion Shelly Vincent, 122 ¾ lbs., New London, CT, returned to the ring for the first time in six months with a unanimous decision win over veteran former title contender Lakysha Williams, 122 ½ lbs., Philadelphia, PA. The win raised Vincent’s undefeated mark to 11-0, 1 KO while Williams falls to a deceptive 9-19-3, 1 KO record.
In the most impressive win of his young career, Jimmy Williams, 152 ¼ lbs., New Haven, CT, scored an impressive first round knockout victory over cross-town rival Christian Lao, 152, New Haven, CT. The time of the stoppage was 1:57 and with the win, Williams upped his record to 6-0-1, 3 KO’s and added the Connecticut State Super Welterweight Title to his resume. Lao falls to 5-3-1, 2 KO’s.
BONUS FOOTAGE
World-rated female welterweight Aleksandra Magdziak Lopes, 144 ¼ lbs., Marshfield, MA, had her hands full with undefeated Althea Saunders, 140 ½ lbs., Atlantic City, NJ, in their six round fight. Both had their moments of success, and it was a very hard fight to score as neither landed any really telling blows. In the end the judges called it a draw, 58-57 Lopes, 58-56 Saunders and 57-57. The draw leaves Lopes with a record of 10-2-2, 1 KO, while Saunders suffers her first blemish at 3-0-1.
In his first fight in over a year, Kevin Cobbs, 183 lbs., Willimantic, CT, used his superior reach and conditioning to ward off the relentless charge of Willis Lockett, 189 lbs., Tacoma Park, MD, in their four round fight. Lockett landed some big shots, but Cobbs was able to answer back every time. In the end Cobbs walked away with the unanimous decision by scores of 39-37, 40-36 and 39-37. Cobbs’ record now stands at 8-1, 2 KO’s while Lockett falls to 13-14-5, 5 KO’s.
In the evening’s opening professional fight, Joe Wilson, 151 ½ lbs., Hartford, CT, and Ethan Pena, 153 lbs., Providence, RI, battled hard in their four round encounter, but in the end it was the slick boxing and defense of Wilson that won the judges over. Pena had success, especially to the body, but Wilson was the busier of the two in pretty much every round. Final scores were 39-37, 39-37 and 40-36. The win pushed Wilson’s record to 2-1, while Pena falls to 2-2, 1 KO.
The card was presented by Jimmy Burchfield's Classic Entertainment & Sports and the matchmaker was Ted Panagiotis. CES Boxing returns next Friday, June 6th at the Twin River Casino in Lincoln, RI. That show is headlined by a New England light heavyweight championship fight between two former title challengers, Rich Gingras and Jaime Velazquez.

The Elm city Empire seems to be the chant for the local residents of the Elm City, this group seems to be the hottest and latest "Talk of the Town." So just who is the Elm City Empire I begin to ask myself. They have flooded the streets with their parties being renowned for having the best dj’s, scrumptious catering services as well as bringing our favorite celebrity guests such as Slick Rick to rock the mic and mingle with the locals from the Hamden and New Haven areas. I had to find out who this group was, who the key players are and what are their future plans. I had the opportunity to kick it with one of the group’s main players Ping “The Topic King” who I would describe as being the hype man, the grinder and their ear to the streets.
We set up a meeting at their current home base The Talk of the Town; located at 940 Dixwell Ave, Hamden, CT. As I walk into the establishment I am greeted by Mr. Topic King himself we begin to discuss the mission of The Elm City Empire and what their organization is all about. He begins by telling me who they are which happens to be 3 local promoters who decided to join forces and combine their efforts to bring sexy back. They want to form a commission that offers unity in the community amongst local promoters in the New Haven, CT area. He stated that each promoter that is a part of the commission would gain full support from their team by promoting their events to assure success for everyone. The visionary behind this “empire” is Alton Outlaw a long time New Haven resident. He is described as being the brain behind the creation he and his partner Dana Griffin are the “business” of the Empire. Together they work to attain sponsorship from local businesses as well as promotion with New Haven’s very own 94.3 WYBC. Through their tireless efforts local residents had the pleasure to be entertained by a true hip hop legend Slick Rick. Topic King says his role is more to get the folks in the building. He uses his previous promoting experience and lifelong ties to New Haven as a successful tool to draw in the masses by means of social media such as Facebook and InstaGram.
The true mission of The Elm City Empire is to be known as the go to group, Elm City’s “Dream Team” when you think of having or attending a tasteful mature event that has flair and pizzazz. They want their name to be synonymous with having the hottest events at the hottest venues in Connecticut drama free for the grown and sexy. So now I know what the buzz is all about in the elm, I guess the Empire already struck and they will continue striking back. Next time you’re looking for something to do around town come to an Elm City Empire event their "catch phrase" is....It's the EMPIRE BABY..... YOU won’t be disappointed.

When you search www.fightkings.com you would have seen the countless boxing interviews and reviews of the fight game by our correspondent, Pattee Mak. She is usually thinking outside of the box and not only goes after boxers to interview but goes after many different interesting individuals/topics to cover. This time the tables have turned and fightkings is excited to interview her along with the Producer and Director, Stephen “Stix” Josey the CEO of Stix Productions and CEO of MSJ Productions, Film & Music and the Associate Producer, Chris Josey of MSJ Productions, Film & Music regarding their upcoming movie “Temporary File”. The movie is about FBI Agent Jackson who is played by Stix, who is assigned to a special case known as the temporary file. Agent Jackson then discovers that due to
corruption within the bureau, those are his true enemies. Pattee was casted as “Linda” in the film.
FKT: WOW Pattee, We are so excited for you. Congratulations. How did this role come about?
Mak: I ran into an old friend of mine, Mark Del Negro. We started chatting about the ins and outs of the movie business and I mentioned to him that I would love to get into acting. A few weeks later Stix and Mark were chatting and he told Mark to text me to ask me if I would play his wife Linda in a movie. I was honored and so excited that I jumped to the opportunity. Linda’s name came about in honor of Stix’s late mother who recently passed away on October 1, 2013. It was funny because I knew little about the film and I didn’t know if I would have a speaking role or not. As we were driving there, I started to think to myself, hmmm wife… What kind of scene will I be playing? Would I have to kiss my friend?
FKT: You played Linda in the movie and this is your fist movie role. Did the acting come easily for you?

Mizgin Demircan is a Swedish music artist that is making her debut here in the United States with her sexy, fierce music and intoxicating voice, best known for her single "Get U Off". She is turning heads and rocking stages, boasting raw, enthusiastic energy and an eclectic sound.
A true artist to her core, Mizgin dreamed of hitting the top of the charts ever since she first started singing, writing, and performing as a young girl. Growing up in Bollnäs, a small town in Sweden, the musical scene was limited and she had trouble finding things to participate in as a singer. Nevertheless, she threw herself into everything she could find, including school shows, small venues and local events. For a while she tried taking dance classes but somehow always ended up practicing at home in front of the mirror and creating original moves that felt more like her own style. While she occasionally draws inspiration from others, Mizgin is primarily self-taught and loves adapting and re-creating things into something new and different. She believes that allowing your individuality to pour out of you unfiltered is what makes a successful artist.
In 2008, Mizgin went out on a limb and auditioned for the popular Swedish TV show Körslaget, a competition in which seven celebrities return to their respective hometowns and each select 20 singers for their own choir. The seven teams then compete until just one is left standing. Hanna Hedlund was the celebrity singer leading Mizgin's team. They worked hard, dedicating three months of their life to practicing and performing each round before ultimately winning the competition. It was a thrilling experience that only intensified her desire to succeed.
Mizgin always felt like she was meant to do something great with her life and has worked incredibly hard to make that vision a reality. Armed with the knowledge that things are never handed to you in life, she chased after her dream with infectious enthusiasm. In 2013, she traveled to America with Oscar Andersson, a long-time friend who was planning to start a music company in Sweden. Serendipity brought her together with Kama, the talented production duo that would ultimately become her producers here in the United States, as well as co-writer Nav Ramasamy and talent manager Kelly Newton of Jack N Jill Management.
Her single "Get U Off" was originally slated for one of the biggest pop stars in the world, but Mizgin was so struck by the song that she knew she wanted it more than anything. She approached her producers and told them that she was not leaving until the song was hers. "You wanted someone hungry," she told them. "Well, I'm starving." True to her word, she did not leave the studio until her producers agreed to give the song to her. "They looked at me like I was crazy," Mizgin admits, "but in the end that's who I am." In everything that she does, she continues to inspire those around her with her infectious passion and dedication. Music is not just her dream, it is her life -- and nothing is going to keep her from making it a reality.
"The only thing that is endless in life is your imagination, so never be afraid to use it and believe in it. If you want something, go get it; no one is going to get it for you. You may get help along the way, but the only one that can truly take you where you want to go is you." --Mizgin

My person goal, and struggles: I'm an artist some one who likes to create, write, and imagine. I imagine a better life, a better world - a world without judgment, pain and suffering. I write a lot about person experiences - my struggles as a human, as a woman and as a girl from an ethnic background. I have been judged for so many things by so many people, but I refuse to give up or give in. I have an illness, I have spent too much time in hospitals and beds, yet that will not keep me down either. Life is a journey and everyone has different paths and goals - Mine is to create, to share, to learn, to follow and lead when I need to or have to - I would follow unto the ends of the earth for someone who believes in me and I in them, I would give no less than my best, and I would lead you to all I know that is good on this earth if it was to help you in some way! I'm kind hearted, yet been hurt - I cry not for myself, I shed no tears for my pain, I cry for others, I cry for you, I cry for the hurts of the world - creation is inspiration, and inspiration is a step toward hope, and hope is something everyone could use at least once in their life time!
With all my heart, soul, mind, body, and spirit I wish you all the very best this earth and world has to offer!
