BJ FLORES INTRODUCES ERICK “DYNAMITE HANDS” VEGA
Posted on | June 14, 2008 | 2 Comments
PHOENIX , AZ (June 12, 2008) Undefeated cruiserweight contender BJ Flores continues to expand his business interests beyond boxing and real estate in the Phoenix area, as he has taken on the role of advisor for explosive cruiserweight prospect Erick “Dynamite” Vega.

The 29 year old Vega is coming off a devastating “revenge” second round knockout of JJ McAllister on May 8th at the Biltmore Resort in Phoenix . McAllister had previously knocked out Vega in their first fight. The McAllister KO and other carnage by Vega can be viewed at his website, www.dynamitehands.com
Continued Flores , ‘The McAllister win meant to much to Erick as he had lost to him earlier. This was his fourth knockout win this year and he’s looking to stay very busy in 2008.”
Vega starting boxing as an amateur in 2001 and after sixty amateur bouts was chosen to represent Mexico at the 2004 Olympic Qualifiers held in Rio De Janeiro , Brazil , losing in the quarterfinals. He was also a semi-finalist in the 2002 National Golden Gloves.
The 29 year old Vega currently sports a professional record of 8-2-1 with six knockouts.
Flores, 21-0 (13KO’s) recently finished up a training camp with Kenny Adams in Las Vegas and is looking to make an announcement on his next fight in the coming weeks. He is currently worked ranked # 2 by the IBF, #7 by the WBO and # 8 by the WBA.

SALEM’S LOT – HISTORIC FIGHT NIGHT ON THE 21st JUNE
Posted on | June 13, 2008 | No Comments
Salem NJ, 13th June 2008 – The city of Salem, New Jersey will be making history on June 21st 2008 when it hosts it’s very first fight night, which will be headlined by home town favourite Mark ‘Oaktree’ Brown (12 (5 KO’s) – 1 (1 KO) – 0) in a heavyweight bout against Ralph ‘Wild Wild’ West (17 (14 KO’s) – 13 (10 KO’s) – 1) from Jamboree, Kentucky.
This match up has all the ingredients to be a classic. Mark will be determined to continue his undefeated run, especially after his
magnificent performance against Kevin Hood back in January this year, in front of his home town fans and Ralph, who after being knocked out by Sherman Williams when they fought for the WBF intercontinental and NBA Heavyweight titles last year will be determined to get back to winning ways.
The Fight Night Productions promoted ‘History In Our City’ event undercard features another battle royale, this time in the light heavyweight division, when Alfred Kinsey (6 (3 KO’s) – 2 (1 KO) – 1) from Atlantic City takes on Baltimore, Maryland native Willie Williams (10 (2 KO’s) – 2 – 0). Fireworks are expected in this bout as both Alfred and Willie will be determined not to break their current unbeaten runs.
This event also features a light welterweight match that sees the professional debut for Philadelphia’s first lady of amateur boxing, Faatimah Balmer, who has a magnificent 43 – 6 with 14 knockouts amateur record, against Haitian born Melissa ‘Guard Your Grill’ St Vil (0 – 1 – 0) from Brooklyn, New York. This should be one seriously good fight as Melissa will be looking to secure her first pro win after just losing out on her debut to Olivia Fonseca by a very close points decision, whilst the talented Faatimah will be looking to establish herself as a star of the future in the pro-ranks.
Another ‘Jersey Boy’ on the undercard is light middleweight Alex Sanchez (1 (1 KO) – 0 – 0) from Camden who takes on Philadelphia’s Ardrick Butler (0 – 1 (1 TKO) – 0). Also on the bill is another Philadelphian, middleweight Roberto Burgess (4 (2 KO’s) – 1 (1 KO) – 0) whose opponent will be announced shortly.

DANA’S “BIG ANNOUNCEMENT” & NEW YORK’S MMA LEGALIZATION PUT ON HOLD
Posted on | June 13, 2008 | No Comments
by: Jack Bratcher
Everyone was anxiously awaiting was has now become known as “the big announcement.” Disappointment has often been the case when major announcements are promised but hopefully this time it will be different. There’s been somewhat conflicing reports coming out today about what actually happened in New York as the legalization of MMA in that state was the issue at the forefront. Whether the bill was voted down or it was “laid aside” by the state of New York’s Committee on Tourism, Arts and Sports Development, they are expected to revisit the bill next week on June 18. Incidently, that’s around the same time Dana White has rescheduled “the big announcement.” The speculation is that once the bill is passed and MMA is finally made legal in New York, then the next step would be a UFC event held at the world famous Madison Square Gardens. They say “If you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere.” And if MMA can make it in New York then the sky really is the limit for the sport. The final states still holding out on legalization would most likely soon follow and then next stop, the Olympics.
If, or I’d rather like to think when, the UFC holds their first event at Madison Square Gardens it really would change the face of the sport especially if that event were to air live on say…..FOX or HBO. While the seating capacity at the Gardens is about the same as other large venues the UFC uses, the recognition and attention they would receive would be earth-shattering. I really do think the day we will see a Madison Square Gardens UFC event is not that far away. Keep your fingers crossed.

DOUG DELUCA, Executive Chairman, ProElite, Inc.
“I really want to thank the fighters, the athletes, who are part of the ProElite family. We have always stood behind our fighters; we did for the CBS show and we stand behind them for this fight card. We have some of the best fighters in the world and we’re here to stay.
“On Saturday, you are in for a great night of fights.”
KJ NOONS
“In terms of my career, I think other people are more surprised than I am. But what’s happened to me has happened so fast, even I have to pinch myself. I always try and get into a zone, a groove, before a fight, but since being back in Hawaii, seeing myself on the fight poster, defending the EliteXC title in the main event, with a lot of family and friends in attendance and the rest watching on SHOWTIME is, well, really exciting.
“I’m in a great spot and looking forward to Saturday. It will be a great event. I’m back where I grew up. My father fought here in the 1970s. My first MMA fight was at the Blaisdell and now I’m back. All of that makes this feel really good, especially to be in my hometown.
“I have a never-give-up mentality. That is how I’ve always been. People could have given up on me after my first loss, but I didn’t and that is what matters.
“Yves is an amazing opponent and a guy that I used to look up to. That is very special for me.
“Someone asked me why people should watch the show on Saturday. My answer really is that what you will see on Saturday is MMA in its purest form. Saturday will bring integrity to this sport; the fighters will. After it, people will really see it as a major sport.’’
YVES EDWARDS
“You can never really get comfortable against KJ. You need to be in complete control before you can relax. Otherwise, he will turn things around in a hurry.
“This is going to be a very exciting fight and great exposure for both of us. For sure, nobody is going to quit. You have two guys with a lot of heart that want it – and I have to take it.
“The fact we are old friends, he is the champion — all of that goes out the window once the fight starts.
“It’s easier for me to fight somebody I respect, and I certainly respect KJ.
“Expect to see the best Yves Edwards ever on Saturday. I do not wish KJ any bad will. I just want to hurt him enough so he won’t want to fight anymore on that night.
“So I’m sorry that I have to take your gold (looking at KJ jokingly). But, really, I know I am not the local (fighter). Please support your guy; just don’t boo me too much. That stuff really hurts.’’
NICK DIAZ
“I’m glad to have an opponent and to be here fighting. It is great to be here on the island fighting again. It is such a great environment. I really want to thank everybody at EliteXC – Rich Chou, JT Steele, JD Penn, Jeremy Lappen, Gary Shaw – everybody.
“I feel stronger and bigger. I feel bigger than anybody.’’
MUHSIN CORRBREY
“Everybody knows this is the biggest fight of my career, but I have to treat it as just another day at the office. He (Nick Diaz) is a big name, but what it comes down to is I just have to get the job done. That is the big thing for me, to go in and do my job. The pressure for me is in the gym, the training. I can’t wait to get in there and fight. I’m looking forward to Saturday.’’
MURILO “NINJA” RUA
“I want to fight for EliteXC title again. I promise a good show for the all the fans. I have worked very hard. I promise to win by knockout.’’
TONY BONELLO
“I thank Ninja for taking this fight. These are the kinds of fights I want. I look forward to fighting someone of Ninja’s experience.’’
DAVE “PEE WEE’’ HERMAN
“I train at my house. People tell me I am making a mistake, but I am still unbeaten so I am not going to mess with a good thing. The only thing I know about my opponent is he’s an old guy.
“I am looking forward to this fight and fighting for EliteXC. I am totally focused.’’
RON WATERMAN
“Age is not a factor. I still have things I want to accomplish in this sport. I feel as good now at 42 as I did at 22. I’ve really stepped up my cardio and my weight is down 25 pounds. Having eight weeks to train has been great.
“I am not sure about his ground game so I feel confident I can put him down and keep him down; maybe, submit him early,
“I want to win, but I also want to win impressively.’’
RAFAEL FEIJAO
“Thank you to Wayne for accepting this fight against me. I love Hawaii. It is a beautiful place with beautiful people. I want to stay here a long time.’’
WAYNE COLE
“EliteXC changed my life a lot. For my first fight for them on SHOWTIME, I trained in the garage at my house. Now, I am opening my own gym and fighting on SHOWTIME again.
“The plan all along was to eventually go to 205 pounds and I feel great at the weight. I’ve seen a few of his fights so I know Feijao is tough.
“He is an explosive, in-your-face type of guy who likes to fight in the middle of the cage – same as me. You can bet there are going to be a lot of fireworks.
“This is going to be a really good fight. If there will be a fight of the night, it will be ours.’’
KALA KOLOHE
“I watched a few clips of him; he is a tough guy. We are going to do what we can to give you a great show.’’
BUBBA MCDANIEL
“I’m ready to get out there and get in it. I know he (Kala Kolohe) has a devastating right hand and I will be doing my best to stay away from that.’’
ALEX VALDEZ VS. ANYETEI LARYEA HEADLINES NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT IN CHICAGO
Posted on | June 13, 2008 | No Comments
CHICAGO, IL, (June 11, 2008) World ranked bantamweight contender Alex Valdez returns to Chicago next Friday night, June 20th to face Ghana-based veteran spoiler Anyetei Laryea in the ten round main event at FEARLESS, an outstanding evening of World Class Professional Boxing presented by Dominic Pesoli’s 8 Count Productions, HOME OF THE BEST IN CHICAGO BOXING.
Tickets for FEARLESS are on sale now through Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster) and the 8 Count Production offices at 312-226-5800. The Aragon Ballroom is located at 1106 W. Lawrence Ave. Doors for this event will open at 5:30pm with the first bell at 6:30pm.
The 24 year old Valdez, 20-2-1 (15KO’s), a native of Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico is riding a sixteen bout undefeated streak which includes a seventh round stoppage of Samuel Lopez in Chicago on December 1, 2006 at Cicero Stadium.
Most recently Valdez won the NABF bantamweight title with a sixth round knockout of Heriberto Ruiz on May 5, 2007 in Tijuana , Mexico . In his last bout, he won a unanimous decision over Mexican veteran Oscar Andrade on March 1, 2008 at the Home Depot Center in Carson , California on the undercard of the third bout in the epic Israel Vazquez/Rafael Marquez trilogy.
Valdez’s four year professional career also includes a win over former world champion Mauricio Pastrana two years ago. He is currently ranked # 4 by the WBC, #7 by the WBO, # 10 by the IBF and # 15 by WBA.
Accra, Ghana native Laryea brings a record of 17-4 with eight knockouts into the battle with Valdez .

Laryea has also gone the distance with former world champion title challengers Nicky Cook (L-UD12) and Alex Baba (W-UD12).
Said Pesoli, “ Valdez really won over the Chicago fight fans with his stoppage of Lopez at the end of 2006. He’s got great skills and very well could be a future champion. Laryea is a very tough veteran from Accra , Ghana , the same town as the legendary champion Azumah Nelson, and he’s faced world class competition.
In the co-main event, Salinas , California super bantamweight prospect Alejandro Perez, 12-0-1 (7KO’s) squares off against Mexico City ’s Adolfo Landeros, 17-10-1 (8KO’s) in a scheduled eight rounder.

Also on the undercard, Michigan native Frederico Flores Jr. 4-2 (2KO’s) faces Chicagoan Gustavo Palacios, 2-3 (1KO’s) over four rounds.
Rounding out the card is a four round junior lightweight battle between Chicago native Juan Bailon, 2-0 (1KO) and Mexico ’s Gerardo Alarcon, 0-1.
