Ruiz ready for takedown, hopes Harris has a gas tank

Posted on | April 22, 2011 | No Comments

Lemoore, Calif. – Anthony Ruiz expects to be taken down.

In fact, the Coarsegold, Calif. mixed martial arts veteran admits he will probably be taken down on more than one occasion.

“He will get his takedowns like everyone else has that’s fought me and wanted to go to the ground,” said Ruiz of his opponent Tulsa, Okla.’s Gerald Harris.

“But like everyone else, he will blow is wad and get tired doing so.”

The game plan is pretty cut and dry in each and every one of Ruiz’ 40 fights… weather the early storm and take his opponents into deep waters.

“I will be in better shape than he is and I will be the one pushing the pace in the fight, especially in the late rounds,” Ruiz said of his middleweight feature bout at Tachi Palace Fights 9’s “The Contenders” on Friday, May 6^th at the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino in Lemoore, Calif.

“Hopefully he has worked on his cardio some and wants to bang a little, so we can make this an exciting fight for the crowd and not a boring one.”

Ruiz (25-15) is coming off back-to-back losses to Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts and hopes the Harris showdown can elevate him back into the middleweight elite class at Tachi Palace Fights.

“We’re both coming off of some losses, but I honestly feel all the pressure is really on him,” Ruiz said. “He has to win this fight.”

Tachi Palace Fights will stream live and free on Sherdog.com at 5:30 p.m. (PST).

Tickets can be purchased at www.tachipalace.com or charge by phone at 1-800-225-2277. Tickets may also be purchased at the Tachi Palace Gift Shop and start at a low price of just $30 for general admission seating.

Harris (17-4) was once thought of as one of the more exciting fighters in the Ultimate Fighting Championship until a lackluster decision loss against Maiquel Jose Falcao Goncalves (26-3) led to his walking papers.

Harris followed with a loss to James Head (7-1) in February.

“Ruiz is a veteran and a very game opponent. I’m looking at this fight like any other and I’m facing tough competition. He is well respected in MMA, fought everybody and I’m going to have to bring my ‘A-game’,” Harris said.

“You do something a little different for every fight, but I can’t give up too much of my game plan,” Harris added. “It’s that classic striker versus wrestler type of match up.”

It will be Harris’ first trip to California to compete.

“I’ve heard a lot of good things about Tachi Palace and not just from the MMA guys but from boxers, too. I’m looking forward to going out there to fight,” Harris said.

The main event features a flyweight bout between San Clemente, Calif.’s Ian McCall (9-2) and Franklin, Tenn.’s Dustin Ortiz (7-0). McCall is coming off a decision victory over the previously ranked No. 1 flyweight in the world, Brazil’s Jussier da Silva (9-1) which moved him into the Top 10 rankings at No. 3.

Meanwhile, Ortiz is a Strikeforce veteran and a proven finisher, winning all of his bouts by stoppage.

San Diego, Calif. lightweight Fabricio Camoes (11-5-1) makes his return to Lemoore after his TKO victory over Las Vegas, Nev.’s Steve Lopez (12-4) in February to face Tempe, Ariz.’s Efrain Escudero (16-2) in the co-main event. Like Camoes, Escudero is a UFC veteran and is riding a 2-fight win streak.

The lone title fight on the 13-bout card, features Stockton, Calif. featherweight Isaac DeJesus (9-3) against Fresno, Calif.’s Russ Miura (9-1). The current champ, DeJesus, has lost two straight non-title affairs since winning the belt in February of 2010 with a TKO of Garden Grove, Calif.’s Nam Phan (16-8).

World’s No. 2 ranked Flyweight Mamoru Yamaguchi (25-5-3) brings his exciting style to the US and will take on San Diego, Calif.’s Kevin Dunsmoor (10-3).

Also in action;

-Las Vegas, Nev. welterweight Jorge Lopez (8-1) vs. San Diego, Calif.’s Waachiim Spiritwolf (8-7-1).

– Bakersfield, Calif.’s Tommy Vargas (7-1) vs. TBA.

-Los Angeles, Calif. welterweight Alan Jouban (1-0) vs. Las Vegas, Nev.’s Chidi Njokuani (4-2).

-Fresno, Calif. featherweight Art Arciniega (9-4) vs. Visalia, Calif.’s Joshua Herrick (6-2).

-Visalia, Calif. bantamweight Cody Gibson (4-1) vs. San Diego, Calif.’s Walel Watson (7-1).

-Merced, Calif. featherweight Jesse Bowen (7-5) vs. Oakdale, Calif.’s Brad McDonald (5-1).

-Lemoore, Calif. welterweight Kenny Ento (10-5) vs. Oakland, Calif.’s James Chaney (3-0).

-Lemoore, Calif. bantamweight Alex Perez (0-0) vs. Coalinga, Calif.’s Jesus Castro (0-10.

Peter ‘Kid Chocolate’ Quillin used ‘Torture’ machine to prepare for Apr. 29 title fight against Brinkley

Posted on | April 22, 2011 | No Comments

LOS ANGELES (April 22, 2011) – Prior to leaving for his Big Bear training camp in final preparation for his April 29^thshowdown against Jesse Brinkley, undefeated prospect Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin used a Vortex machine at his strength-and-conditioning coach Brad Bose’s Anatomy gym in Santa Monica in order to increase his arm strength and power punching.

 

The 27-year-old Quillin (23-0, 17 KOs), born in Chicago and raised in Grand Rapids (MI), moved a year ago from Brooklyn to LA, where he hooked-up with Roach and started training at his famed Wild Card Gym, in addition to signing an exclusive promotional contract with Golden Boy Promotions.

 

“Kid Chocolate” headlines an April 29 show against former world title challenger Brinkley (35-6, 22 KOs) in Reno, Nevada, airing on Telefutura in a 10-round bout for the vacant USBO super middleweight title.

 

The Vortex, according to Bose (www.bosemangement.com), is an intimidating machine to look at, about 6-feet wide and 4 to 5 feet deep. Bose trains a lot of celebrities at his gym, some on The Vortex, including Robert Downey, Jr. for the movie, Ironman, as well as many mixed-martial-arts fighters. Boxers from the Wild Card like Quillin have started taking advantage of this functional training machine.

 

“The Vortex is unique in that it helps train athletes in more of a sports specific way,” Bose explained. “A lot of training in boxing is kind of old fashioned. The machine can be weighed down with 30 pounds for boxers who throw 1600 to 1800 punches within a five to 12 minute span. It increases their punching strength and speed, as well as get them ready for the later rounds, when a boxer’s arms are fatigued and they can barely hold them up.

 

“’Kid’ worked on it for six weeks before going to train in high altitude, where this training will also help his body recover faster. I saw quite a difference in him from the first day when he started with 15 pounds on his arms. After six weeks he made it up to 45 pounds for each arm, throwing 200 punches without a rest. A fighter may average 600 punches thrown in a fight. Training on this machine they have 45 pounds for each arm, throwing 200 punches in two minutes, for 20 minutes without resting. Throwing punches in the ring is no big deal because their arms won’t get tired.”

 

“The Vortex is like a torture machine,” Quillin remarked. “Brad had me throwing 1200 punches with 30-pound weights. I noticed a big difference. I really feel stronger. I’m up at Big Bear now to get used to the altitude for the fight in Reno. Freddie’s my trainer but he’s with Manny (Pacquaio), so I’m working with his assistant, Eric Brown. I work a lot with him and Freddie still oversees everything.”

 

Brinkley, who is coming off a ninth-round knockout last October in an IBF super middleweight title fight against champion Lucian Bute, will be fighting Quillin at home in Reno. The 34-year-old Brinkley is, perhaps, best known as a participant in the The Contender, Season One reality television show. His most notable victories have been against Otis Griffin, Curtis Stevens, and Joey Gilbert.

 

“This is the biggest fight of my life,” the personable Quillin remarked. “Brinkley’s coming off his world title fight against Bute and I wanted to find-out how I’d do against Jesse Brinkley. He’s strong, tough and always comes to fight. I want to campaign as a middleweight but walk around between fights weighing like a super middleweight. I took this fight because I couldn’t say no to my first title fight.

 

“I’m as sharp as a razor. He’s going to have to watch-out for me punching from every angle. I can hurt him with punches to the head or body. Once he punches, I’ll counter-punch. Boxing is a lot like poker, spades or dominos – it can fall either way. I’ll be trying to knock out Jesse Brinkley, but anything can happen, so I’m training to just win and prove that I belong at the elite level.”
