Mr. 716 "Big Miz

 

Mr. 716 "Big Miz" was also chosen as one of Western New York's "Ones To Watch For" on WBLK'S website in 2004 and 2005, the station that later chose him to host his live to air radio interview with radio host D.T. on the Late Night Noise show in December of 2008. It was also noted that Mr. 716 "Big Miz" was the first hip-hop artist from Niagara Falls, NY to get airtime on mainstream radio, and the first person out of Niagara Falls to be a breakthrough music artist of the year. 

When Big Miz is not in the studio, he is also a Business Administration major and a certified car salesman for Chrysler. However music is his true passion and he stays on a continuous grind striving to find outstanding ways to improve his craft lyrically because he loves to share his music knowledge with others.  Both humble and motivated, Miz believes in the five P's of performance... Proper Preparation Prevents A Poor Performance! He also lives by the words, “if you work like a slave, you will eat like a king!”

Mr. 716 is not just an artist/entertainer, he is a businessman first and foremost, and hence why Big Miz will soon be promoting his next project "The Neighborhood Clean Up" and his brand new hot radio EP's "Right Here 4 It" and "Make Fire".  "Right Here 4 It" is a 716 Anthem representing several Niagara Falls stars like Paul "Do It All" Harris, James "Buck Superbowl Ring" Starks, "Sugar" Rashad Evans, and even Johnny "Houston Rockets".  Flynn with Miz chanting the hook “We right here 4 it, we right here 4 it, this is our year, we right here 4 it, stand down firm, we right here 4 it, we right here 4 it, we right here 4 it.”  "Make Fire" is a club banger already accumulating heavy spins with Greg Street on V 103.3 FM and 107.9 FM radio in Atlanta, Ga. Both of the singles are steady blazing major college airwaves throughout the south and mid-west region due in part to Big Miz’s own efforts, and independently getting his own material out there.

Moore dominates Fernandez to remain unbeaten; Ramsey upsets Soto in wild co-feature

 

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (Oct. 5th, 2013) – Light middleweight prospect Michael Moore of New Haven, Conn., kept his perfect record intact Saturday with a hard-fought win over game veteran Antonio Fernandes at Mohegan Sun Casino.

 

The unbeaten Moore (13-0), originally from Cleveland, calmly controlled the fight from start to finish, at times staggering the crafty, elusive Fernandes (3-13-2) over the course of 10 rounds. Fernandes’ awkward defensive style frustrated Moore early on, but as Fernandes (Brockton, Mass.) began to tire, Moore got his second win in latter half of the bout and closed out the fight in style, earning a 98-92, 100-90, 98-92 unanimous-decision win in the main event.

 

The battle of unbeaten welterweight prospects in the eight-round co-feature lived up to the billing as Zack Ramsey (6-0) of Hartford, Conn., and Edwin Soto (9-1-2) of New Haven waged a back-and-forth battle with both sides jockeying for the upper hand throughout the fight. Ramsey utilized his superior speed, coupled with his ability to weave in and out of trouble, to pull off the upset win by unanimous decision, 78-74, on all three cards.

 

Picking his spots while fighting on the outside for most of the night, Ramsey dominated the early rounds until Soto mounted a late surge, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the slick boxing by Ramsey in the first half of the fight. After beating Fernandes in September by unanimous decision, Ramsey has now won three fights in a five-month span in 2013, cementing his status as one of the elite, up-and-coming welterweights in the region.

 

Returning to New England for the second time in less than a month, Lancaster, Pa., welterweight Evincii Dixon (2-2-2) fought to a majority draw against New Haven’s Christian Lao (4-2-1). Dixon previously fought at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I., losing a six-round decision to Nick DeLomba. Last night’s fight was much closer as he and Lao – fighting for the first time in 15 months – exchanged blows throughout four competitive rounds.

 

Judges Bill Morande and Clark Sammartino scored the bout 38-38 while judge Don Trella scored it 39-37 in favor of Lao. The difference was the opening round, which Trella scored in favor of Lao while Morande and Sammartino awarded it to Dixon.

 

In the opening bout, New Haven light middleweight David Wilson (2-0) won for the second time in as many bouts, beating tough veteran Danny Lugo (2-5) of Harrisburg, Pa., by unanimous decision, 40-36, on all three scorecards. Lugo absorbed his share of punishment from the taller, faster Wilson, but kept coming forward, making for a fast-paced between the two combatants. Lugo was effective when fighting on the inside, but Wilson’s significant reach advantage and subsequent ability to keep Lugo at bat turned out to be the difference.

 

Fighting for the first time in more than a year, New England light heavyweight Charles Foster (5-0) kept his perfect record intact with a hard-fought, unanimous-decision win over Philadelphia veteran Greg Hackett (2-13), 40-36, on all three scorecards. Foster was originally supposed to face fellow Philadelphia light heavyweight Taneal Goyco, but Goyco suffered a shoulder injury two days before the weigh-in and Hackett agreed to take the fight on short notice.

 

Undersized at 5-foot-6 against the taller, leaner Foster, Hackett gave it his all and showed no fear fighting on the inside, but Foster made the most of his short, quick punches to soften Hackett and, like Wilson in the previous bout, used his reach to frustrate his opponent.

In the final bout, heavyweight Solomon Maye (1-0, 1 KO) of New Haven, Conn., making his pro debut, stopped the overmatched John Desmond (0-1) of Duxbury, Mass., thirty-seven seconds into the opening round. Maye came out swinging and Desmond failed to defend himself, prompting the referee to stop the bout.

The two main bouts will feature SMS-promoted Mark Davis (17-0, 5KO’s) looking to keep his undefeated record intact and continue climbing the lightweight world ratings, and DBE’s super bantamweight contender Luis “Orlandito” Del Valle (17-1, 12KO’s).  Both bouts are scheduled for eight rounds.

“It is great to be working with 50 and SMS Promotions on this special Monday night of boxing and we’re looking forward to putting on a great card at Resorts World Casino,” said DiBella.

 

Additional bouts on the card, as well as opponents for both Davis and Del Valle, will be announced soon.  The card on September 16 will be the third consecutive card staged by the two promoters within the last three months.  The events have been a hot summer ticket for New York fight fans and celebs alike, attracting such actors as Rosie Perez, Susan Sarandon, Burt Young, Cuba Gooding Jr., Holt McCallany and Danny Aiello, as well as supermodel Adriana Lima and former New York Knick fan-favorite Larry Johnson among others.

 

The card is promoted by SMS Promotions and DiBella Entertainment and sponsored by SMS Audio.

DETROIT (AP) -- Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is donating $200 million to the University of Michigan, his alma mater announced Wednesday, making it the biggest single gift in the school's history but raising questions about Ross' insistence on taxpayer funding to make improvements to his NFL team's stadium.

Ross' donation is among the largest ever given to a U.S. college or university. It will be split evenly between the Stephen M. Ross School of Business and the university's athletics department, which will rename its campus the Stephen M. Ross Athletic Campus, the school said in a statement. It brings the total amount Ross has given the school to more than $313 million
