Brazilian Revolution in Boxing working for WBC #20 rated Michael “The Brazilian Rocky” Oliveira

Posted on | April 12, 2011 | No Comments

Photo by: Sergio Shibuya

MIAMI (April 12, 2011) – The movement spearheaded by MO Productions to establish undefeated Michael “The Brazilian Rocky” Oliveira as a star in his native Brazil is moving forward as TV Globo, the third-largest network in the world, committed to a two-year, six-fight commitment featuring the 20-year-old Oliveira.

 

After his 10-round unanimous decision victory March 25 in Sao Paulo against previously unbeaten Argentinean prospect Abel “El Principito” Nicolas Adriel (10-1-2, 3 KOs), in which Oliveira captured the Interim World Boxing Council Latino Super Middleweight Championship, Michael returned home to Miami. His father and president of MO Productions, Carlos Oliveira, remained in Sao Paulo for meetings with TV Globo and potential sponsors.

 

The Oliveira-Adriel headlined “International Boxing Challenge,” presented by MO Productions, aired live Mar. 25 on SporTV, TV Globo International and GloboEsporte.com.

 

Oliveira, the promoter, has revealed a number of interesting updates regarding his son, starting with the announcement of Michael’s third fight in Brazil, the second in the deal with TV Globo. It’s tentatively scheduled for June 4 against Eduardo “El Cheito” Flores (10-2, 7 KOs), slated as the 10-round main event for a professional show, at Mauro Pinheiro Gymnasium in Sao Paulo for the second time in a row.

 

Oliveira also said Michael, who has been installed at No. 20 in the latest WBC super middleweight ratings, would next fight as a middleweight and that Team Oliveria has retained the services of head trainer Clemente Medina, who handles world-class fighters such as such as WBC #1 junior middleweight contender Alfredo Angulo and WBC Diamond bantamweight champion Abner Mares, who fights Joseph Agbeko on April 23 for the IBF title.

 

The major news, however, is Globo TV’s plans for a 5,000-seat portable arena to be constructed in the capital city of Brasilia for another Oliveira fight in September.

 

“Michael’s popularity with the media and public in Brazil continues to grow with each fight,” Carlos explained. “Globo TV wants Michael to fight June 4 in Sao Paulo and then again in September in Brasilia. The designs for the portable arena for Brasilia are unbelievable. They’re investing in Michael’s image in Brazil and have also discussed the possibility of Michael being a boxing commentator for Globo TV’s coverage of the Olympics next year in London.”

 

Oliveira (14-0, 11 KOs) was born in Sao Paulo but he moved two weeks after birth with his family to Miami. In his Brazilian debut last November in Sao Paulo, Michael stopped tough Junior Ramos (10-5) in the third round.

 

Oliveira, who won the UNBC middleweight title September 11, 2009, is the two-time winner of the Brazilian International Press Award’s Athlete of the Year (2009 and 2010).

 

Backed by his family promotional company, as well as TV Globo, Michael returns to his roots in hopes of reestablishing boxing back to the days of Brazilian boxing icons, Hall of Famer Eder “Golden Bantam” Jofre, and more recent superstar Acelino “Popo” Freitas. Both legendary Brazilian boxers have supported Michael by attending his fights in Brazil.

STRIKEFORCE: OVEREEM vs. WERDUM

SATURDAY, JUNE 18

AMERICAN AIRLINES CENTER – DALLAS, TEXAS

Live on SHOWTIME® at 10 p.m. ET/PT (Delayed on West Coast)

TICKETS ON SALE – Friday, April 15 at 10 a.m. CT


SAN JOSE, CA – Four of the sport’s most talented heavyweights are set to collide when STRIKEFORCE® heads to American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on Saturday, June 18 for the quarterfinals of its Grand Prix Heavyweight Tournament. STRIKEFORCE®: OVEREEM vs. WERDUM will air LIVE on SHOWTIME® at 10 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast).

STRIKEFORCE heavyweight champion Alistair “The Demolition Man” Overeem (34-11, 1 NC) squares off against Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Fabricio Werdum (14-4-1) in the highly-anticipated main event, while former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett (29-5) will battle heavy-handed knockout artist Brett “The Grim” Rogers (11-2).

Two additional, non-tournament heavyweight clashes are also scheduled for the card, as former U.S. Olympic wrestler Daniel Cormier (7-0) will face fellow undefeated budding star Shane Del Rosario (11-0) and Valentijn Overeem (29-25), the elder brother of Alistair, will take on streaking Chad Griggs (10-1).

Plus, women’s mixed martial arts superstar Gina Carano (7-1) returns to action with her sights set on taking the STRIKEFORCE championship.

“We are really excited to head to Dallas with two outstanding quarterfinal heavyweight Grand Prix fights,” Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said. “With Overeem vs. Werdum, Rogers vs. Barnett, as well as the return of Gina Carano, STRIKEFORCE is bringing one of its best cards ever to American Airlines Center.”

Tickets for STRIKEFORCE®: OVEREEM vs. WERDUM are priced at $350, $225, $125, $75, $50 and $30, not including applicable service charges, and go on sale Friday, April 15 at 10 a.m. CT. Tickets can be purchased at the American Airlines Center Box Office, all Ticketmaster Outlets, by calling 800-745-3000, or by visiting Ticketmaster.com.

UFC® Fight Club members will have the opportunity to purchase tickets to this event on Wednesday, April 13 at 10 a.m. CT via the website www.ufcfightclub.com. A special Internet ticket pre-sale will be available to newsletter subscribers on Thursday, April 14, starting at 10 a.m. CT. To access this presale, users must register for the UFC newsletter through UFC.com .

The main event between 30-year-old Alistair Overeem (fighting out of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and the 33-year-oldFabricio Werdum (fighting out of Porto Alegre, Brazil) pits the two superstars against one another nearly five years after Werdum submitted Overeem on a PRIDE® Fighting Championship card at Osaka Dome in Osaka, Japan on May 5, 2006.

Since their initial encounter, the 6-foot-5, 260 pound Overeem has become the first fighter in history to simultaneously hold both a major mixed martial arts (STRIKEFORCE) title and a K-1 Heavyweight Grand Prix championship. Meanwhile, Werdum has wreaked havoc on the heavyweight division, including his submission over Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko in June, which was considered 2010 Upset of the Year.

Josh Barnett (fighting out of Seattle, Wash.) is a former UFC heavyweight champion who owns victories over the likes of Randy Couture, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Pedro Rizzo and Gilbert Yvel. The 33-year-old heads to Dallas with hopes of derailing his opponent and advancing in the Grand Prix. To do so, he must defeat the heavy-handed Brett Rogers (fighting out of St. Paul, Minn). The 6-foot-5 powerhouse reeled off 10 straight wins to start his professional career and holds knockout victories over the likes of former UFC champion Andrei Arlovski and PRIDE vet James Thompson.

A former Division I All-American at Oklahoma State University Daniel Cormier (fighting out of San Jose, Calif.) is unbeaten in seven fights. Training alongside the likes of UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and welterweight stars Jon Fitch and Josh Koscheck, Cormier’s blend of wrestling and power could pose problems for his opponent in Texas. With an unblemished record in 11 professional bouts, Shane Del Rosario (fighting out of Irvine, Calif.) remains unfazed by the hype surrounding his opponent. Coming off an impressive submission win over Lavar Johnson in February, the 27-year-old Del Rosario has finished every fight and expects nothing less when he meets Cormier on June 18.

A seasoned veteran riding a three-fight winning streak, Valentijn Overeem (fighting out of Amsterdam, The Netherlands)believes a win on June 18 could propel him into contention in the STRIKEFORCE heavyweight division. Thus, expect fireworks when he meets free-swinging Chad Griggs (fighting out of Tucson, Ariz.), who has won five straight, including a stoppage of Bobby Lashley.

This loaded event also marks the return of former STRIKEFORCE title contender Gina Carano (fighting out of Las Vegas, Nev.), who will take on an opponent to be announced in the weeks to come. The fierce striker, who turns 29 this Saturday, will train for this fight under the tutelage of renowned coach Greg Jackson, who has trained elite athletes such as UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre. A rising star in the acting world, Carano is eager to get back to her first love and impress in her first bout since Aug. 2009.

‘Saint’ George Jupp Added To Sam Webb-Prince Arron May 13th British Title Fight Card

Posted on | April 12, 2011 | No Comments

‘SAINT’ GEORGE JUPP Vs TBA
Medway Leisure Centre, Gillingham, Kent
Friday 13th May 2011

London – Tuesday, 12th April 2011

Featherweight prospect ‘Saint’ George Jupp has been added to the undercard of the Frank Maloney promoted Sam Webb versus Prince Arron British Light Middleweight title clash at the Medway Park Leisure Centre in Gillingham, Kent, on Friday 13th May 2011.

Being asked by Frank Maloney to feature on the card of such a prestigious event  is sure to help 20 year old Jupp, from Belvedere in Kent, put the highly contentious loss to Raffi Khan, in Dagenham on March 18th, firmly behind him.

Right from the opening bell Khan went on the attack, Jupp kept his cool and kept the aggressive Khan at bay with some solid jabs. Whenever Khan came rushing forward Jupp would use superior footwork, to move out of range, or solid jabbing to stop him in his tracks. Khan was getting some success but usually his shots were wide of the mark.

Whilst it was fairly hard to call the first round, the second and third were clearly young Jupp’s, who had used his Jab to good effect throughout the middle rounds. It wasn’t just his jabbing though as Jupp also showed that his willingness to mix it up when needs be.

Khan began to rush his attacks, backing Jupp towards the ropes, and letting rip with wild shots. Most times Jupp would just step around, leaving Khan punching at fresh air, but on a couple occasions Jupp countered with both hands and about mid way through the round Jupp landed a peach of a right which opened up a cut above Khan’s eye.

Clearly aware he was behind on points Khan became even more forceful with his attacks in the final round, often letting rip with multi-punch flurries. Jupp would counter with solid jabs as before but instead of backing off Khan kept coming forward and kept the pressure up to the final bell.

When referee Ken Curtis’ score card was read out – 39-38 in favour of Khan – the crowd jeered, Jupp’s manager/co-trainer Johnny Eames remonstrated with the referee and the assembled press corps, of which I was one, all agreed that Jupp had won clearly won the middle rounds and probably had done enough to claim the first also.

Following a training session, at Johnny Eames’  world famous TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town, Jupp spoke briefly on the Raffi Khan fight and his upcoming appearance on the Sky televised event, “I’m really looking forward to it, I lost my last fight so am really looking forward to it and get my loss out the way and get another win behind me.

It was a good fight, I thought I’d well done enough to win it. He was constantly pressuring me but wasn’t landing very much, mainly hitting the gloves or missing. I was catching him with one-twos all the time, so yeah I thought I had done more than enough to get the decision like.

Johnny’s put an appeal in but I doubt anything will get done about it, so I’m just going to try and forget about that and get onto better things and that. I’m looking forward to boxing on a big show on the undercard of Sam Webb, who I know well as he used to box at my amateur club and is here at the TKO regularly. It’s going to be good being on his undercard.

It’s a good show and pretty near to where I live so will have a lot of support. I can’t wait for it.”

Tickets for George Jupp at the Sam Webb versus Prince Arron British Light Middleweight Title Clash at the Medway Park Leisure Centre in Gillingham, Kent on Friday 13th May 2011 are priced £30 (Unreserved) or £65 (Ringside) and on sale NOW.

For tickets book on-line at www.tkoboxoffice.com, call: 07960 850645 or in person at The Ultrachem TKO Gym, Gillian House, Stephenson Street, Canning Town, London E16 4SA.

ROF 40 Backlash New Preview

BRANDON THATCH…STOP WONDERING

Denver,CO –

Everybody knows Brandon Thatch, even those people that have never once laid eyes on the man. If there was a category for the ‘it’ fighter ion the next Ring of Fire Card, Thatch would be the clear winner. He’s a media darling, a popular fighter with a winning smile and a great attitude that makes him a target for sponsors, fans and anyone with even a passing interest in the sport.

 

At the MMA awards in January Thatch, who was up for professional fighter of the year (he didn’t win, a miscarriage of justice if the dozens of emails of protest that were sent are to be believed) smiled at everyone who came up to him. He shook hands, took pictures, signed things, and endured the numerous business people and idea-men who came up to ask for some of his time to ‘tell you about this great idea I have’.

 

“I love my fans, I want to do everything I can for them,” Thatch said later.

Everyone wants a piece of Brandon Thatch, and that was before he even knew he would be fighting what is the definition of a grudge match, at Ring of Fire Backlash, against Chris Holland.

 

Anyone who has spent time with Thatch outside of the ring would be reminded of Bruce Wayne, you know, the alter-ego of Batman. He has a playboy way about him that everyone seems to respond to, and wants to be associated with.

 

The analogy is apt, because the mild mannered ‘man about town’ transforms into a fearful creature at night in the ring. The smile is gone; the boyish charm is replaced by pure animal desire and what can only be categorized as blood lust. Just a quick search of YouTube videos finds him throwing knees, punching opponents like a machine, and bringing blistering attacks that seem to have only one setting; Thatch.

 

The scary part? Those beatings that he has given out have never been against opponents he was as motivated to defeat as Chris Holland. Holland has a number of wins under his belt, but only two that mean anything to Brandon Thatch. Holland defeated Thatch’s friends Chris Williamson and Vinnie Lopez, setting up a battle that is more personal that anyone really wants to admit.

But Thatch is willing to look past that in the short term, and focus on the enormity of the moment for himself, even while sounding completely relaxed at the same time.
