Michael Oliveira returns home again for WBC Latino Middleweight Title Fight in Brazil

Posted on | June 29, 2011 | No Comments

 

July 16 in Sao Paulo

SAO PAULO, Brazil (June 29, 2011) – Undefeated Michael“The Brazilian Rocky” Oliveira continues his mission to re-popularize boxing in his native Brazil, when he returns home to fight for the third time, July 16 at Credicard Hall in Sao Paulo.

 

The 21-year-old Oliveira (14-0, 11 KOs), now rated No. 17 by the World Boxing Council “WBC”), takes on the Dominican veteran Jose “Minguito” Soto (24-7-2, 13 KOs) for the vacant WBC Latino middleweight title in the 10 round main event.

 

“Sao Paulo Fight Night,” presented by MO Productions, will air live on TV Globo Network, SporTV cable, GloboEsporte and TV Globo International, as well as TYC in Argentina.

 

Oliveira, the two-time defending Brazilian International Press Award’s Athlete of the Year (2009 and 2010), was born in Sao Paulo but he moved two weeks after birth with his family to Miami.

 

Oliveira, fighting for the second fight in his native Brazil this past March, won a 10-round decision against previously unbeaten Abel Nicolas Adriel in Sao Paulo for the Interim WBC Latino super middleweight crown.

 

Brazil’s last superstar boxer, four-time world champion Acelino “Popo” Freitas, made his third World Boxing Organization super featherweight title defense in Credicard Hall, one of the largest show arenas in South America, when he knocked out challenger Javier Jauregui in 2000. Freitas showed his support for Oliveira and MO Productions by being a special guest at Oliveira’s last fight.

 

“The response to Michael fighting at home in Brazil has been tremendous,” MO Productions president and Michael’s father, Carlos, said. “Each fight there has increased his popularity. Michael has been training very hard in Miami with his new trainer, Orlando Cueller. He’s dropped weight, gotten stronger and will be fighting again as a middleweight. We believe his best fighting weight may be at 154-pounds but we’re gradually dropping him down. He’s going to be a force at middleweight and, eventually, dangerous as a junior middleweight.

 

“We’d like to once again thank TV Globo – this is the third in a six-fight, two year deal we have with TV Global – and the Brazilian Boxing Commission. The fight will also be shown on Argentinean television. Soto promises to be Michael’s toughest opponent so far. He’s had 33 pro fights, fought 100 more rounds than Michael (146 to 46), and been in the ring with world-class fighters such as two-time world title challenger Reggie Green, Anthony Peterson and Darling Jimenez. Soto is definitely a step-up in competition for Michael, but we think he’s ready for this test.”

 

All fights and fighters are subject to change.

 

GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS ARE FREE.

 

Doors open at 6:30 PM/GMT (5:30 PM/ET), first bout at 7:30 PM/GMT (6:30 PM/ET). Go on line towww.MichaelOliveria.comfor additional information.

Luis Hernandez Makes Final Push for the Olympics

Posted on | June 29, 2011 | No Comments

As with most great stories, Luis Hernandez came from humble beginnings.  He was born in Wilmington Delaware, the son of immigrants from Mexico in search of a better life.  His father, a migrant worker,  wanted a better quality of life for his family.  His goal was to make sure that his children would not have to do the same type of work that he did.   Unfortunately, Luis seemed to always find his way into trouble.  He seemed to always be in the middle of whatever fight or argument was going on and was developing a reputation as a trouble maker and malcontent.  In an effort to keep him out of the principal’s office or worse, Luis’ family put him into boxing to help channel his aggression. While remembering his past, Luis has his eyes firmly set on the future and the goals he has made for himself.  The first of those is to make the US Olympic Boxing Team.  Luis has been competing in the Regional and local Golden Gloves tournaments looking to earn his spot for the Olympics.  Most recently he came in second at the East Coast Regional tournament after losing by decision in a hard fought final. (read more here)   Luis now has one last chance to make it to London in 2012.  He will be fighting in a last chance qualifier in Cincinnati Ohio July 3rd – 9th. (read more here) Luis knows how important this opportunity is and has been training tirelessly to ensure that he comes out on top.  His never quit attitude and impressive work ethic combined with your support has put him in this position to succeed.  On behalf of Luis Hernandez and the Modern Vee Jitsu Athletic Training Center, I want to thank you for your support in helping to make his dream a reality.
