Corley Has High Praise for Dulorme

Posted on | June 16, 2011 | No Comments

On Friday, June 10, former world champion DeMarcus Corley took on Puerto Rican welterweight super prospect Thomas Dulorme (12-0, 10 KOs) at the Boricua Invasion 1, boxing event at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City and televised live on ESPN Friday Night Fights.   The fight proved to be Dulorme’s best performance to date, as he won the NABA Welterweight Championship by commanding unanimous decision, dropping Corley with a left hook in round three. All three judges saw it 99-90.   A few days later, having had time to assess being dominated by Dulorme for 10 rounds, the experienced Corley had some strong praise for his young opponent: “Dulorme is a very good fighter. He is very focused and precise. I have no doubt he will become world champion. He has the tools to reach the level of Cotto, Mayweather and Judah.   “What an honor for me that Corley said that,” responded an appreciative Dulorme. “His words will motivate me to keep working hard to achieve the goal of becoming world champion.” Dulorme is now ranked #12 by the WBA. His next fight will be on August 19 at Juan Pachin Vicens Auditorium in Ponce, Puerto Rico. The opponent will be announced shortly.   Team Puerto Rico was developed by promoters Gary Shaw, Lou DiBella, Javier Bustillo and Leon Margules in order to group the best young talent in Puerto Rico on one team.

Sillakh Challenges All The Top Contenders and Champions

Posted on | June 16, 2011 | No Comments

New Light Heavyweight Sensation Ismayl Sillakh Challenges All Top Contenders and Champions   He’s young, he’s talented, he’s world ranked and undefeated.   Ismayl “The Black Russian” Sillakh (16-0, 13 KOs) says now is the time for the top light heavyweights to take notice of him.   Managed by Ivaylo Gotzev, trained by Shadeed Suluki and promoted by Square Ring, the 6′ 3”, 26-year-old fighter, who had a stellar amateur career (302-16) in the Ukraine, has traveled around the world to compile his undefeated record and has no problems fighting in anyone’s backyard.   “Ismayl has fought from Moscow to Chicago since turning pro and he will gladly fight any of these champions, wherever and whenever they want,” Gotzev said. “All they have to do is make the call.”   The Ukrainian-born Sillakh, who trains at the new IFC (International Fight Center) in Van Nuys, is coming off another dominant victory.   “We just travelled to Russia for Ismayl’s last fight and he put on another sensational performance,” Gotzev said. “He fought Kassim Ouma’s younger brother, the hard hitting Hamza Wandera Ouma, and dismantled him inside of three rounds. It’s no coincidence the division’s champions or their promoters never bring Sillakh’s name up. It’s because they’re all afraid to fight him, it’s that simple.”   Sillakh has destroyed everyone put in front of him, yet he has had to sit back and watch the other top light heavyweights take turns beating each other up. It’s frustrating, to say the least, but it is only adding fuel to the fire that burns within him.   “Last month we saw Bernard Hopkins defeat Jean Pascal to take the WBC, IBO & Ring Magazine belts, and on the same card Chad Dawson beat Adrian Diaconu to become Bernard’s mandatory challenger. Congratulations on making history to Bernard! Now let’s see him beat the uncrowned light heavyweight champion. If he’s not available, a guy who always has something to say is Jean Pascal. We would love to take him on,” Gotzev said.   “I respect what Hopkins did against Pascal in both of their fights, but Ismayl is not Jean Pascal. Hopkins says he wants to fight until he is 50 before he retires. I can promise him this, if he fights Sillakh he will feel like he turned 50 in the ring that night, and he will bring Bernard’s career to an end.”   Gotzev isn’t buying the media’s excuse for Pascal losing twice to Hopkins. “Everyone said the reason Hopkins beat him both times is because Jean gets tired after six rounds and has nothing left. I can promise you this: Pascal won’t have that problem with Ismayl, simply because the Canadian won’t be standing by the sixth round.”   As for Chad Dawson, Gotzev gave the former champ a somewhat backhanded compliment, “Dawson may be one of the most gifted athletes in the division, but he has been sleepwalking through his fights recently. That will change if he fights Sillakh. Dawson will certainly be sleeping, but he won’t be doing any walking,” Gotzev said.   Gotzev has other targets to aim for if Hopkins, Dawson and Pascal continue to duck Sillakh. “We also can challenge any of the other champions, Beibut Shumenov, Nathan Cleverly, Tavoris Cloud…any of them. If they’re not available, then bring on any top contender out there to keep Ismayl busy and keep showcasing what he can do.”   “Nathan Cleverly has also been trying to pretend he doesn’t see Ismayl,” Gotzev said, “but he knows Ismayl is here and understands he is not going away. Sooner or later he is going to have to step up.”   Gotzev has respect for IBF champ Tavoris Cloud, but doesn’t think the undefeated American has what it takes to beat his fighter. “Of all the champions I think Cloud is most like Ismayl. He’s young and hungry, and so is my fighter. If Tavoris accepts our challenge, this will be a very good fight for the fans to see. But when the dust settles it will be Cloud on the canvas looking up at Sillakh as he walks away with his belt. I am tired of waiting around and it’s time for one of these guys to step up and fight Ismayl. The question is which one of them is man enough to do it?”   After Gotzev finished his attack on the gun-shy light heavyweight division, Sillakh added more ammo by saying: “I want to make it clear that my time is now. If any of the other top 175 pounders gives me a chance, I will show the world what a great champion I can be.”

 

THE COSMOPOLITAN OF LAS VEGAS ANNOUNCES HARD HITTING THIRD INSTALLMENT OF “FIGHT NIGHTS”

Posted on | June 16, 2011 | No Comments

Return of Boxing Series Live on ESPN2’s “Friday Night Fights” July 29 Featuring Bouts Between Edison “Pantera” Miranda &Yordanis Despaigne and Joel Casamayor & Jorge Luis Teron

 

LAS VEGAS (June 16, 2011) – On July 29, “Fight Nights at The Cosmopolitan” returns to The Chelsea Ballroom featuring matchups between four of professional boxing’s toughest and hardest-hitting warriors and airing live on ESPN’s “Friday Night Fights.”

 

In conjunction with Warriors Boxing Promotions and Blue Wave Group, “Fight Nights at The Cosmopolitan”combines the mystique and excitement of legendary Las Vegas boxing matches with a new and socially dynamic experience. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 17 at 10 a.m. and are priced at $250 for VIP tables, $150 for ringside seats, $100 for floor seats, $50 for grandstand seating and $20 for general admission tickets and are available for purchase by calling 877-551-7778 or at www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com.

 

In the night’s main event, former world title challenger and universally feared power puncher Edison “Pantera” Miranda (34-5, 29 KOs) of Colombia will face former Cuban Olympian Yordanis Despaigne (8-1, 4 KOs) in a guaranteed thriller of a 10-round light heavyweight showdown. In a 10-round super lightweight battle where sparks are sure to fly, former three-time world champion Joel Casamayor (38-5-1, 22 KOs) will face Bronx, New York’s Jorge Luis Teron (25-2-1, 17 KOs).

 

A fan favorite the world over for his brilliant mix of amazing punching power and a unique flair for showmanship, 30-year-old Miranda will have just his second fight in the light heavyweight division after having challenged for world titles in the middleweight and super middleweight divisions.

 

Despite having just nine professional fights, 31-year-old Despaigne can rely on the wealth of experience he gained during his impressive 300-fight amateur, with victories over several future world champions including Andre Dirrell, Jean Pascal and Károly Balzsay.

 

Given both fighters aggressive styles of fighting, this exciting battle will almost surely end with a 10 count for one of the contestants.

Heading into his showdown with Teron, 39-year-old former three-time world champion Joel “El Cepillo” Casamayor knows that every fight is a “do-or-die” affair and his sensational career will be over should he lose again.

 

 

For New Yorker Teron, a third loss would put a major damper on his plans to someday challenge for a world title. Teron began his professional boxing career on a tear and was undefeated in 23 contests before losing two of his last five to strong opposition.

 

Casamayor will not have to look hard to find Teron, as both fighters are known for their love to trade leather.

 

“This is another sensational show at the most dazzling location in all of Vegas,” said promoter Leon Margules of Warriors Boxing. “Both of the main televised fights are certain to be all-out conflicts between men who have never given an inch of ground up easily. It’s an honor to be bringing this show to such a world-class resort as The Cosmopolitan.”

 

Undercard bouts will be announced shortly.

Ring 8 Notebook: Silverglade, Serrano & Parillo guest speakers Tuesday in NY

Posted on | June 16, 2011 | No Comments

NEW YORK, NY (June 16, 2011) – Gleason’s Gym owner Bruce Silverglade, NABF featherweight champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano and award-winning boxing artist Gabe Parillo, Jr. will be special guest speakers Tuesday night (June 21, starting at 7 PM/ET) at RING 8’s monthly meeting at the historic Waterfront Crabhouse in Long Island City.

 

“We’re very fortunate to have such a diverse group of speakers this month,” RING 8 president Bob Duffy said. “They have a lot of valuable experience and interesting stories, both in and out of the ring. All of our members are looking forward to listening and meeting this boxing trio.”

 

Silverglade, a former boxer, is a well known, highly-respected member of the New York City boxing community. He owns and operates the oldest active boxing gym in the world (circa 1937), historic Gleason’s Gym in Brooklyn.

 

Undefeated Serrano (10-0-1), fighting out of Brooklyn, captured the women’s NABF featherweight title last Saturday via a first-round knockout of her opponent at Roseland Ballroom.

 

Parillo is recognized as one of the foremost painters in boxing. His works include legends such as Muhammad All, Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier and many more. His book is entitled, “The Boxing Art of Gabe Parillo.”

Formed in 1954 by an ex-prizefighter, Jack Grebelsky, RING 8 became the eighth subsidiary of what was then known as the National Veteran Boxers Association — hence, RING “8” — and today the organization’s motto still remains: Boxers Helping Boxers.

RING 8 is fully committed to supporting less fortunate people in the boxing community that may require assistance in terms of paying rent, medical expenses, or whatever justifiable need.

 

Go on line to www.Ring8ny.com for more information about RING 8, the largest group of its kind in the United States with more than 350 members. Annual membership dues is only $25.00 and each member is entitled to a buffet dinner at RING 8 monthly meetings, the third Tuesday of every month, excluding July and August.
