Posted on | March 18, 2011 | No Comments
Following his stellar performance in his professional debut, winning by TKO, welterweight prospect Vinny “The Lion” O’Brien will be returning to the ring April 9 as part of the undercard for the Tomasz Adamek and Kevin McBride heavyweight fight at the Prudential Center.
Tickets have recently been made available for the fight and due to the rising popularity of the top prospect, it is likely that they will sell out fast.
“Two weeks ago I went out and did everything Lou and I trained for,” said O’Brien. “It felt great to win by TKO and give the fans a good show. Now it back to business and I have my focus on the April 9 fight.”
O’Brien is quickly becoming a fan favorite to New Jersey boxing fans. In his debut he put on a performance that was reminiscent of a young Arturo Gatti. O’Brien was relentless with his attack and wore down his opponent punch by punch until the fight was ended.
Having garnered much attention on both a national and local level leading up to his professional debut, O’Brien delivered to his fans and erased any questions marks skeptics may have had on his level of skill.
“I felt like I went out there in my debut and showed all the doubters that I am the real deal, and showed all my supporters what they have been believing in,” said O’Brien. “I am excited to get back into the ring April 9, and I want to stay busy and keep winning so the whole world becomes familiar with the name Vinny O’Brien.”
O’Brien trains under the watchful eye of former heavyweight knockout artist Lou Esa at Final Round Boxing in Whippany and works relentlessly to achieve his goal of becoming world champion in the near future.
“Boxing is my life, both in and out of the ring,” said O’Brien. “I want to bring class back to the sport, and I want boxing fans to look at the sport the way they did years ago. I know that boxing will always be a major part of my life.”
Vinny “The Lion” O’Brien is quickly becoming a household name and potentially may be the most exciting up-and-coming fighter boxing has seen in years. Don’t miss the opportunity to watch NJ’s welterweight prospect go to battle April 9 at the Prudential Center.

Martin’s brains match his brawn
Posted on | March 17, 2011 | No Comments
Well-educated challenger has eyes on Lima’s belt
By MFC Staff
One might not expect a heavy-handed brawler with a penchant for going toe-to-toe with his opponents to actually outthink an upcoming foe.
But if there was ever a prime example of this uncanny ability, it just may very well belong to Terry Martin, making him an even more “Dangerous” threat to current MFC welterweight champ Douglas “The Phenom” Lima.
Martin (21-8) will challenge Lima (17-4) for the belt at MFC 29: Conquer taking place on Friday, April 8 at The Colosseum at Caesars Windsor. The co-main event, which will put a stamp on the live televised card on HDNet Fights, pits Martin’s power-punching against Lima’s stylish jiu-jitsu. Martin, though, has a unique twist to his game planning.
The Chicago native happens to be one of the most-educated fighters in all of mixed martial arts, and fittingly, it is an impressive background in psychology.
“I guess I’m really starting to use this big ol’ head now,” laughed Martin. “I’m starting to put my knowledge to good use.”
With a Bachelor’s degree in science from Northern Illinois University already in his back pocket, Martin went on to earn to a Master’s degree and is now pursuing his PHD in psychology at Concordia University in Oak Park, Illinois. Yet for all his book smarts and being a likely victor in a battle of wits with any opponent, it’s a pure fighter’s approach that Martin brings to the ring.
“There’s a whole lot of stuff I can take from school and use in a fight, and it does help me at the start when it comes to putting everything together, but I think like a fighter,” explained Martin, whose most notable career wins have come against Chael Sonnen, Jorge Rivera and Ivan Salaverry.
“It’s hard to predict how things go in a fight. A lot of things can happen. I’ve gone at it with a lot of top people and I just go in there and do what I do.”
While accustomed to researching information for term papers and presenting his findings for a thesis, Martin hasn’t done any homework when it comes to what Lima will bring to their title fight. No late-night study sessions, no cramming at the last minute. Just take the test – pass or fail.
“I don’t want to seem cocky. I was told he’s tough but I don’t care to watch anything about him,” said the 30-year-old, who enters the showdown with Lima riding a three-fight winning streak.
“My training stays the same – very few modifications. I have my ‘Terry Martin’ style and I’ll be ready. My coaches will have studied him, but I’m not going to pay any attention to him at all.”
What did catch Martin’s attention, however, was a comment from Lima that the reigning champ was eager to face a well-regarded striker for the opportunity to showcase his own striking skills. Twelve of Martin’s 21 career wins have come by way of knockout, including his stoppage of Rivera in a bout that lasted all of 14 seconds.
“Maybe he’s just trying to build things up. Everyone can talk crazy till they get cracked,” Martin responded.
“He can talk all he wants … and then he’s going to get cracked and all that stuff he said becomes irrelevant.”
Tickets for MFC 29: Conquer are on sale now and available through www.caesarswindsor.com and www.ticketmaster.ca.

World Light Heavyweight Champion Beibut Shumenov Severs Ties With Goossen Tutor Promotions
Posted on | March 17, 2011 | No Comments
LAS VEGAS (March 17, 2011) – World Boxing Association/International Boxing Association Light Heavyweight Champion Beibut Shumenov filed a lawsuit today (Thursday, March 17, 2011) against Goossen Tutor Promotions. The lawsuit asks the Nevada court to confirm that a promotional agreement between Shumenov and Goossen Tutor is terminated.
Shumenov terminated his agreement with Goossen Tutor Promotions in January of this year.
Shumenov alleges that Goossen Tutor Promotions violated its duties under the contract in different ways. The lawsuit charges breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and deceptive trade practices and seeks a judicial confirmation that the agreement is terminated. Shumenov seeks unspecified damages, including punitive damages
Beibut is anxious to continue on his mission to unify the world light heavyweight titles and he will move forward through his promotion company, KZ Event Productions, Inc.
Shumenov (11-1, 7 KOs), the 2004 Kazakhstan Olympian, has been on an unprecedented, accelerated pace since his pro debut only three years ago, defeating two world champions in his first eight bouts, Montell Griffin and Byron Mitchell. A year ago, Shumenov established the mark for fewest pro fights needed to capture a major world light heavyweight title, defeating defending champion Gabriel Campillo by 12-round decision for the WBA crown in his 10th bout, breaking the record of 15 set by Jeff “Hit Man” Harding in 1989.
Shumenov was supposed to fight World Boxing Organization 175-pound titlist Juergen Braehmer in a Unification title fight January 8 in Shymkent, Kazakhstan, however, Braehmer unexpectedly pulled-out of the match the week of the fight claiming gastrointestinal problems.
Shumenov registered a victory by sixth-round knockout against Braehmer’s replacement, Joppy, who became the fourth world champion Beibut has defeated during his relative young pro career.
Shumenov owns and operates the Las Vegas-based KZ Event Productions along with his brother, Chingis.

You’d think he’d have taken “Road Warrior” for a nickname, given the path his boxing career has taken, but Hammond, Indiana, welterweight veteran Ruben “Modern Day Warrior”Galvan (27-15-4, 10 KOs) is happy with his ring name and everything else about his boxing career.
