CUNG LE REGISTERS EXCITING THIRD-ROUND TKO

Posted on | March 30, 2008 | No Comments

LE POUNDS ON FRANK SHAMROCK TO CAPTURE STRIKEFORCE TITLE

















March 29, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME

The HP Pavilion, San Jose, California

SAN JOSE (March 30, 2008) – In a bruising battle of Bay Area rivals, undefeated Cung Le broke the right arm of defending champion Frank Shamrock en route to capturing the Strikeforce middleweight title with a thrilling, give-and-take, crowd-pleasing third-round TKO Saturday on SHOWTIME.

The long-awaited, eagerly anticipated mixed martial arts event, presented by EliteXC and Strikeforce, attracted an enthusiastic, well-behaved crowd of 16,326 at the HP Pavilion that produced a gate of more than $1 million. Those in attendance included EliteXC standouts Kimbo Slice, Jake Shields, Nick Diaz and Phil Baroni.

The fight card aired on SHOWTIME at 9 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the west coast).

Gilbert Melendez (14-1) of San Francisco successfully defended his Strikeforce lightweight belt with a second-round knockout over hard-trying but outclassed Gabe Lemley (11-7) of New London, Iowa, in a second world title match on a five-bout telecast.

In other televised scraps, Drew Fickett (32-5) of Tucson, Ariz., earned a shot at the vacant EliteXC welterweight crown against Jake Shields by submitting Korea’s Jae Suk Lim (9-4) in the first round; super heavyweight Wayne Cole (11-6) of Oklahoma City, Okla., submitted (armbar) Mike Kyle (9-6-1) of San Jose in the first round and EliteXC standout Joey Villasenor (25-6) of Albuquerque, N.M., knocked out Ryan Jensen (11-4) of Omaha, Neb., in the first round.

In the top non-televised fight, Tiki Ghosn (10-7) of Huntington Beach, Calif., registered an upset three-round decision over previously undefeated welter Luke Stewart (5-1) of San Francisco by the scores of 30-27 and 29-28 twice. In other non-televised action, Jesse Jones (2-0) of Redwood City, Calif., scored a 0:35, first-round TKO (strikes) over Jesse Gillespie (1-1) of San Jose; Darren Uyenoyama (4-1) of San Francisco submitted Anthony Figueroa (4-2) of Gilroy, Calif., at 1:27 of the first round; and Billy Evangelista (6-0) of Fresno knocked out Marlon Sims (3-2) of San Jose at 3:39 of the third round.

Pre- and post-fight interviews were shown only at ProElite.com. Fighter Pages are below.

The Le-Shamrock, Melendez-Lemley fights were scheduled for five, 5-minute rounds. The others were slated for three, 5-minute rounds.

“This was a great night for MMA and everybody involved with MMA,’’ EliteXC Live Events President Gary Shaw said. “Cung Le beat The Man. The respect he and Frank showed for each other was most impressive. Both athletes showed they not only are tremendous athletes but exceptional sportsmen.

“Drew Fickett was very impressive and I can’t wait to see his fight against Jake Shields June 14 on SHOWTIME. Wayne Cole won’t be training out of his garage in Oklahoma anymore. Joey Villasenor always puts on a great show. Gilbert Melendez did what he had to do.

“There are a lot of great fighters in a lot of MMA organizations, and we saw a lot of them tonight. These are the kinds of shows I am very proud to be a part of.

Le (6-0) was ahead by the scores of 30-27 and 29-28 twice after three completed rounds.

“This was my toughest fight,’’ said Le, who was born in Vietnam, but fled the war-torn country as a baby in his mother’s arms in 1975 and immigrated to the United States where his family settled in San Jose. “I am proud to be Strikeforce champion. Tonight was a great night for MMA in general.’’

Both fighters were bleeding by the end of the first round, with blood coming from the lip of Le and a cut under Shamrock’s left eye. A taunting Shamrock ended the stanza by putting his hands to the side of his head as if to say “it is time for you to go to sleep.’’

Le wasn’t distracted by Shamrock’s antics, however, and knocked out his mouthpiece after an exchange of punches at the beginning of the second round. Later in the session, Shamrock made one of his few attempts to take Le to the ground, but Le always managed to escape.

Early in the third, after landing two powerful kicks to Shamrock’s head, Le connected with a sweeping leg kick that sent Shamrock to the canvas. Shamrock recovered and landed a huge right hand that hurt and dazed Le and followed with an onslaught of punches.

But Le retaliated with a barrage of kicks and licks of his own. Both fighters were bloodied and bruised after the three rounds.

“Frank is a legend, but I had a better night tonight,’’ Le said. ‘This was not easy. Frank surprised me by keeping his word to fight standing up and he kept coming at me. He hit me with some good punches and rocked me a few times. I saw some stars, but this was my chance to become a world champion and I pushed through it.

“I kept aiming for his wrist with my kicks because I knew I could hurt him there. I knew he was hurt when he started blocking my kicks with just one hand. But he has so much heart, I expected him to fight with a broken arm.

“I want to thank my fans for supporting and for accepting me. I did my best and brought my heart to the cage tonight. This is an unbelievable feeling.

“I have come a long way from Vietnam to become a world champion.’’

Before he was taken to a nearby hospital for surgery for what the California State Athletic Commission described as a fracture of the distal ulna (wrist fracture), Shamrock (24-9-1) said, “Cung Le broke my right arm with a kick.

“I kept trying to fight through it, but it was tough. He fought really hard tonight. He is a true champion.’’

Fickett, who has recorded submission victories in 21 of his 32 wins, required all of 1:14 to take Lim to the ground and tap him out.

“I came out here to fight and I stepped up,” Fickett said. “I wanted to fight (the injured) Jake (Shields), but I will get my chance to do that. I was just trying to choke Lim out on the ground, but he lifted me up and I was able to get a better hold around his neck.

“Once he fell back to the ground it was over. He had to tap out.”

Melendez dominated Lemley before the referee halted the one-sided proceedings at 2:18 of the second.

“I thought I had him at the end of the first round, but he was saved by the bell,’’ Melendez said. “Another five seconds and it would have been over.

“He was definitely a tough guy but these are the kinds of wins you need to get to prove to people you are among the very best in your weight class. I would love to unify the titles.

“I’d be glad to fight the winner of the KJ Noons-Yves Edwards fight (Noons defends his EliteXC lightweight belt against Edwards June 14 in Honolulu on SHOWTIME).’’

In the quickest fight of an action-packed night, Cole submitted Kyle (armbar) at 0:42 of the first.

“This was by far the biggest victory of my career, but no way I expected it to end that quickly. To win this kind of fight that quickly on SHOWTIME is a tremendous boost to me and my career.

“I was told that my weakness was I didn’t use my wrestling skills, so I wanted to take him down and show everyone what I have. I love to fight, but I try to get out of there as quickly as I can.’’

If the swift victory came as a surprise to Cole, it is going to be a total shock to his mother.

“My mom doesn’t even know I am doing MMA and I have been doing it three years,’’ said Cole moments before calling her. “She thought I was boxing. My seven sisters all knew what I was up to, but they didn’t tell her either.

“I am sure my mom will be proud of me, but she won’t be too happy with any of us that no one told her what was going on.’’

In perhaps the best knockout of the evening, Villasenor stopped Jensen with a series of powerful combinations followed by a punishing right hook.

“I was trying to find my range with him and the jabs were just trying to set something up,’’ said Villasenor after a short but rousing slugfest that featured numerous exchanges ended. “He caught me with some shots, but then I really connected with that right hook.

“I worked hard for this fight. He is a great competitor, but I really came out swinging. I want to thank EliteXC for giving me this opportunity and everyone back home who helps me train.

“I am willing to fight whoever they put in front of me.’’

Renowned play-by-play announcer Mauro Ranallo called the shots on Saturday’s telecast with former wrestling superstar, Bill Goldberg, and “The Fight Professor,” Stephen Quadros, serving as color analysts. The executive producer was David Dinkins, Jr. with Bob Dunphy directing.

LOPEZ VS. RUBIO ON CALZAGHE/HOPKINS UNDERCARD

Posted on | March 29, 2008 | No Comments

MISSION: DESTRUCTION

DAVID “THE DESTROYER” LOPEZ TO FACE

MARCO ANTONIO “POISON” RUBIO ON

HOPKINS VS. CALZAGHE UNDERCARD

SATURDAY, APRIL 19 IN THE PLANET HOLLYWOOD RING

LOS ANGELES, (March 28, 2008) – Mexican middleweight David “The Destroyer” Lopez, and Marco Antonio “Poison” Rubio will square off April 19 in the Planet Hollywood (PH) Ring at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas as the featured undercard bout for the highly anticipated “Battle of Planet”: Bernard Hopkins vs. Joe Calzaghe.

“This will be an explosive fight between Lopez and Rubio because battles between Mexican fighters usually end up in a war,” said Eric Gomez, vice president and matchmaker of Golden Boy Promotions. “Their ring histories and experience make this an extremely competitive fight.”

Lopez (33-12, 23 KOs) is one of the most recognizable and famous athletes to hail from Nogales, Mexico. He is coming off of a decision victory with David Toribio in his last bout on November 16, 2007 and is ranked 5th in the world at middleweight by the WBC. Highlights of Lopez’s impressive resume include a seventh round knockout of former world champion Lonnie Bradley and a seventh round stoppage of former Olympian and highly touted prospect Jerson Ravelo, both of whom were undefeated prior to stepping into the ring with the Nogales native.

“I am thrilled to be a part of this fight card with a main event featuring great champions like Bernard and Joe,” said Lopez. “I am getting great training in camp and I know my dedication and time in the gym will get me a win on April 19th.”

The hard-working Lopez has and will be pulling double duty in preparation for his fight with Rubio….in addition to his usual training regimen, he is also serving as a sparring partner for Bernard Hopkins as he prepares for Calzaghe.

“David has been a very valuable part of my training in preparation for my fight with Calzaghe,” stated the current light heavyweight champion Hopkins. “If he performs in the ring on the 19th like he does in sparring, Rubio is in for the fight of his life.”

Native of Torreon, Mexico, Marco Antonio “Poison” Rubio (41-4-1, 37 KOs), ranked 4th as middleweight by the WBC, has been demolishing his opponents with his concussive punching power since he turned pro in 2000. His most recent fight ended in with a seventh round knockout of former Olympian Jose Luis Zertuche on February 9, 2007.

“I am on a mission to win a world title and if I have to beat a fellow countryman along the way, so be it,” said Rubio. “There is nothing that is going to get in the way of my quest and I am determined to win on April 19th. Lopez better be ready to fight”

Hopkins vs. Calzaghe, “Battle of the Planet”, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions, Frank Warren’s Sports Network and the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. Tickets are priced at $1500, $1200, $750, $450, $350 and $250 are still available and can be purchased via phone at 866-USFIGHT or online at www.planethollywood com. The main event bout will be shown live on HBO’s World Championship Boxing beginning at 9:45 p.m. ET / 6:45 p.m. PT.

MCKART – MARQUEZ HEADLINE SATURDAY ON GOFIGHTLIVE.TV

Posted on | March 29, 2008 | No Comments

WEBCAST TO AIR @ 8:OO P.M.

JOHNSTON – NARH IN CO-FEATURE!

Philly’s Tyrone Brunson goes for his the record 19th straight first round Knockout on www.gofightlive.tv

CLIP Boxing and Blue Cap Promotions hosts an exciting seven bout card Saturday, March 29th, at the Soaring Eagle Casino in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, and GoFightLive.TV will be on hand to webcast all the action live, beginning at 8:00 P.M.! The stacked card will include a total of seven bouts, all of which will be available live at www.GoFightLive.tv!

McKart vs Marquez

In the evening’s headlining bout, former WBO Light Middleweight champ Bronco “Superman” McKart (51-8, 31 KO’s) will square off against former IBF Light Middleweight champ Raul “El Diamante” Marquez (40-3, 29 KO’s).

While McKart has won three of his last four bouts, since his TKO loss to current middleweight kingpin, Kelly Pavlik, Marquez, a 1992 United States Olympian, is also enjoying a resurgence in his career, and is on a five-fight knockout streak.

With a combined total of 32 years of professional ring experience, 103 professional bouts, and 60 wins by way of knockout, the McKart – Marquez match-up is sure to make for an all-action shootout!

Johnston vs Narh

In the co-main event, 35 year-old former WBC Lightweight champion, Stevie “Lil But Bad” Johnston (41-5-1, 18 KO’s) takes on once-beaten, and power-punching Ghanaian lightweight, Ray “Emperor” Narh (22-1, 19 KO’s).

While Johnston continues his quest toward capturing world title glory one final time, Narh looks to continue on with his winning ways, as he enters the bout with Johnston, riding a twelve-bout winning streak. His last defeat came back in June, 2004, and he has since won ten of his last twelve fights via knockout.

With Johnston’s 5’5 southpaw frame necessitating his need to get inside and impose his will upon Narh, and the 5’10 Narh looking to impose his will, and punching power, upon Johnston from the outside, this match-up is sure to present a more than intriguing and action-packed boxing affair!

Also slated for undercard action:

Tyrone Brunson (18-0, 18 KO’s) vs Francis McKechnai (3-14, 3 KO’s)

Kara Ro (15-0, 7 KO’s) vs Kelli Cofer (13-7-4, 3 KO’s)

Brandon Little (1-0) vs Jose Mandujano (1-0, 1 KO)

Frederico Flores Jr. (3-2, 2 KO’s) vs Eric Hall (7-7-1 NC, 3 KO’s)

Luigi Gjokaj (0-1) vs Cory Hall (0-5-1, 1 NC)

*All bouts are subject to change

DE LA HOYA’S HOMECOMING WEEKEND KICKS OFF MAY 2, 2008

Posted on | March 29, 2008 | No Comments

“NOCHE DE BOXEO Y MUSICA”

DE LA HOYA’S HOMECOMING WEEKEND KICKS OFF

WITH A NIGHT OF BOXING AND MUSIC AT

THE HOME DEPOT CENTER ON FRIDAY, MAY 2

LOS ANGELES, March 28 – It’s the night before the biggest boxing event of 2008 and before the fists fly, the fiesta will start when Golden Boy Promotions presents “Noche de Boxeo y Musica,” a night of boxing and music, on Friday, May 2, at The Home Depot Center’s Tennis Stadium in Carson, California.

The fights, featuring 2004 U.S. Olympian and lightweight contender Vicente Escobedo and rising junior middleweight star Julio “Baby Face” Garcia in separate co-featured bouts, will air live on Telefutura’s ‘Solo Boxeo’ (8:00 p.m. ET / PT delayed on the West Coast) as part of the unprecedented extravaganza being planned for Oscar de la Hoya’s “Homecoming” weekend in Los Angeles.

Following the exciting evening of boxing, musical sensation Los Tucanes De Tijuana will perform their hits for fans in attendance at 9:00 p.m. PT. The popular Norteño band, made famous by the sounds of the accordion and the baja sexto (a 12-string guitar fused with a bass), has been nominated for numerous Latin Grammy’s and are one of the most popular bands of its kind in Mexico and the United States.

“Noche de Boxeo y Musica” tickets, which include an exciting night at the fights plus the musical performance, are priced at $100, $60 and $30, and will go on sale this Friday, March 28 at 2:00 p.m. PT, and may be purchased at all Ticketmaster outlets, including www.Ticketmaster.com and Ticketmaster Charge-by-Phone at (213) 480-3232. Tickets are also available for sale at The Home Depot Center Box Office, open Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. PT, and on event days. Event suites, group packages and VIP packages are available by calling 1-877-AEG-TICKETS (1-877-234-8425) or by visiting www.aegtickets.com.

2004 United States Olympian Vicente Escobedo (16-1, 11 KO’s), who faces Argentinean Roberto Arrieta (27-12-4 10 KO’s), has drawn comparisons to fellow Olympian Oscar de la Hoya for his two-fisted attack in the ring and his class and accessibility outside of it. Coming off a hard-fought win over Pascali Adorno in January – his seventh victory in a row – the rising Mexican-American star from Woodland, California, but now living in Los Angeles, Escobedo plans on keeping his winning streak alive on May 2nd.

“I am so excited to be able to showcase my talents on this great boxing weekend,” said Escobedo. “I consider my fight to be the warm-up act to Oscar’s fight and as I have lived in Los Angeles for awhile and fought here too, I expect a great turn-out from my LA-based fans. I will not disappoint them.”

Just 20 years old, Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Mexico’s Julio Cesar “Baby Face” Garcia (40 -3, 33 KO’s), who will face Sergio Rios (18-6, 16 KO’s) of Oxnard, California, has more experience than most world champions, with 43 fights to his name already. Winner of 40 of those bouts, including 34 knockouts, Garcia – who has earned an amazing eight regional title belts – hopes to add a world championship belt to his trophy case in 2008, but first he must emerge victorious against Rios to keep those hopes alive.

“I can’t wait to fight in Los Angeles and show the world why I am a great fighter and will have a major championship by the end of this year,” said Garcia. “After the fight I plan to go to the concert to celebrate my victory.”

Friday’s night of boxing and music is part one of the “Homecoming” celebration weekend that brings Oscar de la Hoya back to Los Angeles, when he will fight Steve Forbes on Saturday, May 3 in the 27,000-seat soccer stadium at The Home Depot Center. This fight is the first-ever boxing event in the soccer stadium, and marks De La Hoya’s first fight in LA since 2000. Tickets are on sale now for the Golden Boy Promotions/AEG fight at all Ticketmaster outlets and The Home Depot Center Box Office. For more information on the “Homecoming” weekend, including both Friday and Saturday’s events, please visit www.goldenboypromotions.com.
