‘JUDGEMENT DAY’
York Hall, London – 4th December 2010
For Immediate Release
London – Monday 22nd November 2010
El Maachi Lashes Out At Prince Arron, Anthony Small And More Ahead of Colas Title Clash.
Flamboyant Light Middleweight Yassine El Maachi is clearly in fighting mood ahead of the defense of his International Masters title, against France based Haitian hard man Jimmy Colas at the Steve Goodwin promoted ‘Judgement Day’ double title event at York Hall on Saturday 4th December.
El Maachi, who recently vowed to destroy the European number four ranked Colas, has now turned his venom towards the plethora of British fighters that he feels have avoided him over the years by saying, “The British Boxers know that I would beat all of them so they wont risk it against me.”
The first to receive a personal tongue lashing from El Maachi, who is currently at camp in Scotland with Heavyweight World Title challenger Derrick ‘Del Boy’ Chisora, is Prince Arron, who is set to challenge Sam Webb for his British title early in 2011.
“Prince Arron is not fit to be my sparring partner.” said the London based Moroccan, before continuing, “A false Prizefighter champion. Only won it because I wasn’t in it. He is tall but all that means is he would fall harder when I land on his glass jaw and knock him out. No skill I would tear him apart. Wont be allowed to though, They are scared.”
El Maachi then turned on former British title holder Anthony Small, “The guy is a joke. All the mouth and my friend Sam Webb beat him.
Steve offered £50,000 for him if he could knock me out. They turned the fight down with a ludicrous reason that I wouldn’t put in print.
I sparred with him and played with him like a little baby. He has his own issues now so I doubt the fight will ever happen.”
Clearly no love of Anthony Small then by ‘The Showman’ and it seems his feelings on Steve O’Meara are of a similar vein, “Steve O’Meara: or Steve O’Chicken. Should quit boxing as he must be scared of his own shadow.”
Whilst Prince Arron, Anthony Small and Steve O’Meara were to receive the full brunt of El Maachi’s verbal onslaught, his view’s on other well known British Light Middleweights were a little more reserved.
“Full credit to Ryan Rhodes for what he has done and resurrected his career” commented El Maachi before saying, “but against me there’s only one winner and that’s me. I have too much class speed and angles for him. He’s Hatton’s Golden Boy and I would destroy him and end his career. They know it.”
‘The Showman’ then maneuvered his sights towards Northolt’s Ryan Toms, who recently beat Daryl Setterfield in a rematch, “Would love to smash his 0 and win the southern Area title against him. It would be man against boy.” Before locking his sight fully on former opponent Brett Flournoy. “Beat me when I was a journeyman and going just to lose. I would destroy him now.”
Next to receive El Maachi’s sharp tongue was former Commonwealth Champion Bradley Pryce, “Steve (Goodwin) had agreed a fight with Enzo Calzaghe. Then Bradley changed managers to Gary Lockett and Gary turned it down. Another one too scared to fight me.”
El Maachi then spoke in much gentler terms of Craig Watson, “Craig is a solid tough fighter. Beat Badru Lusumbya which I could have done with one hand behind my back. Craig is a league below me.” and Nathan Graham “His manager Spencer Fearon has already turned down me fighting him. He wouldn’t last 4 rounds and he knows it.”
Surprisingly El Maachi showed that whilst he has no time or respect for many of the current names on the British Light Middleweights, there were exceptions. This was best shown by his views on Lee Noble, “One punch from him beat Pat McAleese. Pat was winning the fight easily until this happened. To be fair to Lee he will box anyone. He is one of the few who is not scared but he knows I would just destroy him.”
Almost a compliment from El Maachi there and even more so when he turned his attention to Max Maxwell, “Full credit to him for beating Brian Rose. He was going to box me until he beat Rose then turned the fight down (understandably) as he had a potential opportunity to box Sam Webb for the British title which did not materialise.”
Just on the mere mention of the British Light Middleweight Champion Sam Webb’s name El Maachi’s tone softened considerably, “Sam is a good friend of mine and I have the utmost respect for him. I hope he does well and maybe one day we will meet for the World Title. That would be nice.”
Yassine El Maachi versus Jimmy Colas for the International Masters Light Heavyweight title headlines the Steve Goodwin promoted “JUDGEMENT DAY” double title event at York Hall, Bethnal Green, London on Saturday the 4th December 2010.
Co-headlining ‘Judgement Day’ will be Ryan ‘Mr Attitude’ Barrett who will be defending his newly won International Masters Lightweight title, against the heavy hitting Hungarian knockout artist Istvan Nagy.
Supporting El Maachi-Colas and Barrett-Nagy are twelve top class bouts featuring the cream of local talent.

BUCKLAND STUNS BRITISH CHAMP BEFORE CLAIMING PRIZEFIGHTER CROWN
Posted on | November 20, 2010 | No Comments
Welshman sees off Sykes then Mathews to triumph on stunning night
Gary Buckland struck a mighty blow to Derry Mathews’ ribs to win the Prizefighter Super-Featherweights tournament at York Hall, Bethnal Green on a memorable night for British boxing.
The Welshman destroyed British champion Gary Sykes with a devastating knock out in the opening round of their semi-final before claiming the trophy and £32,000 winner’s cheque with a clinical second round knockout of Mathews in the final.
Mathews had already exorcised personal demons by defeating Choi Tseveenpurev in the first semi-final of the night, out-pointing The Mongolian Warrior in a fantastic tussle to avenge his title defeat at the hands of the popular Mongolian in April 2008.
But the unfancied Buckland took to Prizefighter from the first bell and when he faced Mathews the result was never in doubt – he crashed into the Liverpool man in the first with rights that first wobbled him then floored him, before a brutal body shot in the second round was too much for Mathews.
“I’m on top of the world – it hasn’t really hit me yet and I don’t know when it will,” said Cardiff’s Buckland. “Nobody thought I was going to win this but I had a great build up and I always believed in myself – it’s the biggest thing I’ve ever won as a pro but I don’t think it will be my last.
“I couldn’t get into my first fight (against Steve Bell) he was such a great amateur that this was always going to suit him. Gary came towards me on the semi and I caught him really well – I just felt really strong all night and I knew that I would beat Derry in the final, especially as he’d given a lot before our fight.”
Tournament brainchild Barry Hearn was amongst the packed crowd gripped by the non-stop action in east London, and he declared that the night was just what British boxing needed.
“After last Saturday we really needed a night of British boxing at its best, and tonight we saw eight fighters at their best and a very, very worthy winner,” said Hearn. “All credit to the British champion for participating, because that’s the type of endeavour. Prizefighter has really puts the spirit back into British boxing.”
Mathews was bitterly disappointed to lose to Buckland but after gaining revenge over Choi the Liverpudlian was happy with a night’s work that has convinced him he can make waves in the sport.
“I said I wanted Choi in the first round but I had to wait,” said Mathews. “That was a real war, and my quarter-final with McArthur was too, even though I decked him a few times. Gary is a deserved winner but after how I performed tonight, I know I have more to offer the game.”
Choi won the opening bout of the night – his class enough to out-point Hove fighter Ben Murphy by a point with all three judges. The semi-final clash with Mathews happened after the Liverpool man saw off Scotsman Gary McArthur after putting the man with Prizefighter experience down in the first and second rounds before polishing off the Scotsman who was desperate to make up for his previous Prizefighter experience when a cut ended his chances in the Lightweights in Glasgow 2009.
British champion Gary Sykes stamped his authority over his scrap with Scott Lawton, dominating from the first round with ferocious combinations and closing the fight out in three rounds with a points decision in his favour from all three judges. Sykes was a massive favourite as he clashed with Buckland in the semi-final but he was met with a stunning right hand that ended his unbeaten record and blew the tournament right open.
The fourth quarter-final of the night saw former England Commonwealth Games captain and Coronation Street actor Steve Bell face Buckland in a competitive bout that Bell could claim he began very well, but admitted later that his Welsh opponent was busier and quicker as he nabbed a unanimous decision 29-28.
RESULTS:

Choi Tseveenpurev beat Ben Murphy – Unanimous decision 29-28, 29-28, 29-28

Undefeated Michael Oliveira stops Junior Ramos in Brazilian Homecoming
Posted on | November 20, 2010 | 1 Comment
Arias defends South American Heavyweight Title
SAO PAULO, Brazil (Nov. 20, 2010) – Fighting in his native country for the first time, Miami-based prospect Michael “The Brazilian Rocky” Oliveira had a memorable homecoming, knocking-out Junior “Dangerous” Ramos in tonight’s main event, headlining “A Gala Night of Boxing” pro-am boxing card at Espaco das Americas in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
“A Gala Night of Boxing, presented by Rumble Star Promotions in association with Reunion Sports & Marketing, featured three professional fights and two amateur matches. The pro segment aired on SporTV and TV Globo International.
Oliveira (13-0, 11 KOs), the UNBC Latin Middleweight Champion, kept his undefeated record intact, knocking out the game Dominican Republic fighter Ramos (10-6, 6 KOs)in the third round.
Oliveira unloaded a powerful right that floored Ramos in the second. A six-punch combination decked Ramos in the third. He managed to beat the count but a right-left-right soon ended the fight.
“I just love to fight,” the charismatic 20-year-old Oliveira immediately remarked after his fight. “I set him up with the jab and unloaded rights. I knew I had him after the first knockdown.
“Boxing isn’t over in Brazil. I’m bringing back boxing in Brazil to show everybody that boxing is not just in the United States. My next fight will be at home – Brazil is my home.”
His father, Rumble Star Promotions president Carlos, added, “We broke the ice here. The anticipation of Michael’s first fight in Brazil was a success. He will get better and better and people in Brazil will get to know him. We will be back here soon because Rumble Star Promotions is here to stay.”
“We worked on finishing his jab,” Oliveira’s head trainer Danny Hawk (Normandy Gym in N. Miami) noted. “He waited a little too long a few times, but Ramos is strong with a big right. Speed overcame power. We still need defensive work but Michael’s only 20 and still maturing. He does like to rumble, yet, he can box, too.”
South American and Brazilian Heavyweight Champion George Arias (47-11, 33 KOs) successfully defended his South American title belt versus Argentinean challenger Emilio Ezequiel “Chiquito” Zarate (10-3-1, 5 KOs), winning every round en route to victory by 10th round disqualification.
Arias’ experience and aggressiveness overcame Zarate’s considerable height and reach advantage. Arias pressured Zarate into an inside fight from the opening bell, effectively cutting off the ring and damaging his overmatched opponent with a relentless attack. A steady firing of rights to the body and left hooks to the head forced Zarate spit-out his mouth piece six times, earning three warnings and three-point deduction, the last resulting in disqualification.
“I was defending my title and had to make an early adjustment,” the 36-year-old Arias, who is now only three career wins shy of 50, said after the fight. “He wanted to fight inside but I adjusted early and made him fight my fight – inside. I’m going for a world title and that’s why I train so hard and keep going. I won’t stop until I become world champion.”
Veteran light middleweight Edvan Dos Santos Barros (11-10-1, 8 KOs), fighting out of Boca Raton (FL) by way of Salvador, Brazil, stopped Daniel Saboia (8-3-1, 3 KOs), of Sao Paulo, in the third round. Barros broke-down Saboia using a solid body attack in the first two rounds, trapping his opponent on the ropes in the third and unloading a barrage of unanswered punches until Saboia was floored for a knockout at 1:53.
In a pair of amateur matches, 2010 World Boxing Championships Gold Medalist, Roseli Feitosa, was upset by fellow Sao Paul super middleweight Daniela Pastieli, a Brazilian National Champion, 3-0. Super welterweight David Lourenco, 2010 Youth Olympic Games Gold Medalist, edged Felipe Pereira, Bronze Medalist in the 2010 Brazilian Olympic Championships, on points, 2-1.
Brazilian boxing legends and former world champions, Eder “The Golden Bantam” Jofre and Miquel de Oliveira, were in attendance supporting Michael Oliveira. Miquel worked Michael’s corner with head trainer Danny Hawk.

City Boxing’s Chris Chatman Wins State Super Welter Weight Belt
Posted on | November 20, 2010 | No Comments
Chatman wins state super welter belt
Ringside report by Felipe Leon
With a busy boxing 2010 coming to a close, Bobby D. Presents in association with Jorge Marron Productions made sure it came to end with a bang with their “Showdown at the Crowne” fight card last night at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Mission Valley, a suburb of San Diego.
Earlier this year, Bobby D. and Marron brought the eyes of the boxing community to southern California featuring undefeated Christopher Martin and more recently Filipino lightweight sensation Mercito “No Mercy” Gesta on Telefutura’s “Solo Boxeo Tecate” televised boxing series. Despite not having the television crews for this fight card, matchmaker Jorge Marron did not disappoint putting together five exciting fights.
In the main event, Christopher “Last Chapter” Chatman (8-1, 4 KOs) once again stopped the upward climb of a previously undefeated fighter, this time Cuban exile Lester “Cubanito” Gonzalez (11-1-1, 6 KOs) of San Diego by way of Havana, Cuba, for the California State super welterweight title. The battle had all the makings of a war with the extroverted Chatman thrash talking all the way from the weigh-in the the night before, the traditional face off, during the introductions and in the actual fight.
In his previous bout, the twenty-six year old Chatman, who began boxing five years ago during a four year stint in the Navy, stopped Alberto Herrera in four rounds last month to hand the Thompson Boxing promoted fighter his first loss. Gonzalez in only his third fight in the last fifteen months, was awarded a tough earned six round unanimous decision over the rugged Ibahiem King five months ago.
The lefty Chatman, who hails from the south side of Chicago but makes his home in San Diego, began the first round going to the body from awkward angles while the thirty-three year old Gonzalez, who as a typical Cuban amassed a lengthy amateur record before turning pro, tried to score from more traditional angles and combinations including a right jab followed with a left straight cross. Resembling a shorter Jeff Lacy in physique and facial features, Chatman easily slipped the announced punches from the slightly taller Gonzalez. The second round brought an even busier Chatman who concentrated to the body of Gonzalez who kept plodding forward with a constant jab. Gonzalez maintained a high guard that proved difficult for Chatman to penetrate and “Cubanito” took the round with effective counter punching including two separate well landed right hooks and a hard straight left near the end of the round.
Chatman, who is known for his hijinks such as the Ali shuffle, stare down and other assorted antics to win over the crowd, was caught in the middle of one to start the third with a one-two combo from Gonzalez that stopped him in his tracks. Chatman had no trouble settling down and getting serious as the fight turned to the inside where he had the advantage with the shorter, more compact punches. Chatman took control of the round with a high output of punches including the best landed punch of the night, a hard right uppercut at close quarters that snapped Gonzalez head back. In a close fourth round, Gonzalez upped the ante with good counterpunching from a distance, again scoring with straight left early in the round and a hard right hook near the end of the stanza. The fight was fought evenly from the inside and the outside early in the fifth round with both warriors going to the body effectively with Chatman being the slightly busier of the two but having trouble scoring through the high guard of Gonzalez. By the end of the three minutes, it was all Chatman with Gonzalez really withering at the end, not throwing much of anything and what he did, Chatman slipped. Chatman even employed the “Mongoose defense” in the last seconds of the round as part of his pranks in honor of beloved adopted San Diegan, Archie Moore.
The best round of the fight card was the sixth as Chatman put on a clinic of inside fighting as he manhandled Gonzalez with his strength, pushing him around the ring and breaking through the defense of the Cuban scoring punches at will while staying in the pocket and slipping punches with waist and lateral movement. Gonzalez had his last hurrah in the seventh as he threw a few more punches than Chatman during the round and scoring with a flush jab followed with a straight left to the chin while Chatman’s back was to the ropes. Chatman closed the show in the eight over an obvious tired Gonzalez, who had trouble defending himself and keeping his balance. Chatman had no problem scoring with flush punches for most of the round to the point where it seemed he would stop Gonzalez.
After the entertaining eight rounds, judge Barry Druxman saw it 77-75 while Eddie Hernandez scored it 79-73 and Fritz Warner with 78-74 awarding Chatman the unanimous decision and the CA State super welterweight belt.
“I knew this was going to be a much tougher fight than Herrera,” the affable Chatman said minutes afterwards the bout. “Herrera was hand fed opponents up to the point that we fought while Lester is battle hardened. He has a lot of experience and every punch he landed, he did so effectively.”
Chatman mentioned that he would be moving down to welterweight in 2011, “I think with a little bit more dedication, I can make welterweight and take anybody they put in front of me there.”

L.A Matadors Media Workout Quotes
Posted on | November 20, 2010 | No Comments
Friday, Nov. 19, at The Rock, Carson, Calif.
LOS ANGELES – -The L.A. Matadors, Los Angeles’ team in the groundbreaking, global World Series of Boxing, worked out for local media members on Friday at The Rock in Carson, Calif. The team’s home-opener is Sunday, Nov. 28, at the Nokia Theatre at L.A. Live against the Mexico City Guerreros.
The Matadors will compete against three other North American teams, Miami, Mexico City and Memphis, throughout the winter with the winner from the North American division advancing to the semifinals to compete against teams from other continents.
Teams in the WSB are fighting for a spot in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The boxers in the league compete in a pro-style format, without the traditional amateur headgear, yet still retain their Olympic eligibility, a first in the history of amateur boxing.
Please credit: William Trillo/Pound4Pound.com
What some of the Matador fighters and their head coach said on Friday:
MANNY ROBLES, Head Coach:
“The WSB (World Series of Boxing) is going to revolutionize boxing. You’re not going to see a bunch of 0-10 fighters going up against 10-0 fighters. You’re going to see competitive, good fights between some of the world’s top fighters. This is what the fans want.
“Once people get a look at (Rau’Shee) Warren they will be very impressed with his overall game. He’s just awesome and I can’t wait to see him get in the ring and get some great exposure.”
RAU’SHEE “BABY PIT” WARREN, 23, Cincinnati, Ohio, Two-Time Olympian:
“We have a chance to do something special. We’re taking on the world and can win the whole thing. We want the L.A. fans to know our names and our faces by the time we’re all done.
“It’s different training for a pro fight instead of a national tournament. You’ve got to learn how to pace yourself in the ring. You’re not just sticking and moving here. Just one big shot and that can win a fight.
“It’s just great to wake up and get ready to train with these guys every day. There’s no slacking. You’ve got your teammates right there to push you. Right now, it’s all about waking up, being there on time and fighting for the L.A. Matadors.
“My goal is the Olympics in 2012. I still want to fight pro but I also lost out on my gold medal so now I’m going back to London to get it. This is a different experience not a lot of people get. I’m going to take full advantage of it.”
DAVID “THE DREAM CATCHER” IMOESIRI, 22, Long Beach:
“This is a making history type of thing. A lot of amateurs don’t really have a lot to look forward to except the Olympic Trials where it’s all or nothing. This league gives us a chance to show what we can do in the non-Olympic years.
“This gives you more time to decide if you want to go pro. It’s a tough decision every young boxer has to make. Fighting for the Matadors gives us a chance to make a little bit of money but also remain eligible for the amateurs.”
DORIAN “THE TRUTH” ANTHONY, 24, Long Beach:
“The World Series of Boxing is a new breed of boxing. We’re looking to put boxing back on the map. We’re the best of the best fighting the best of the best.
“This is a dream come true. It gives you the best of both worlds. We get a little taste of the pros before we’re thrown in the ocean with all the sharks.”

BELL READY TO PLAY HERO ROLE AT PRIZEFIGHTER

Soap star says his amateur style will shine at York Hall
Coronation Street actor Steve Bell says his amateur success means he is destined for victory in tomorrow night’s Prizefighter Super-Featherweights (November 20).
The Manchester fighter fought over 150 times as an amateur and captained England in the 2002 Commonwealth Games in his home city, but tomorrow night he is confident he can achieve his biggest win as a professional in the 15th edition of Barry Hearn’s eight-man, one night tournaments, live on Sky Sports 1 from 8pm.
“I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time – I’ve had a great seven or eight weeks in training and I can’t wait for tomorrow,” said Bell. “I’m more capable of winning Prizefighter than the others because of the amateur style. When I turned professional I had to change my style to pro and it hasn’t really worked, I haven’t been able to show what I can really do in my professional career. That’s why I jumped at the chance to do this as it’s perfect for my style with my speed.
“It’s been fantastic to get something like this to bring me back into boxing – it means a hell of a lot to me. I didn’t want to fight again but the Prizefighter nights before this have been great and I’m in a fantastic line-up here. When the draw came out I was thinking who do I want, but there’s no easy fight in this – it’s such a strong field.
Bell’s acting career has seen him grab a regular role on Coronation Street after featuring in Hollyoaks, Shameless and Emmerdale as well as Jimmy McGovern shows The Street and Moving On. The 35 year-old still has his eyes on a successful career on screen, but says he has enjoyed getting back in the ring and is hoping to meet the best in the strong line-up before lifting the trophy and pocketing the £32,000 winner’s cheque.
“I’ve always boxed and acted at the same time – I’ve been really busy but mixing the two together has been great,” said Bell. “I’d love to beat the British champion (Gary Sykes) and also Choi who has a version of the world title, those two look the men to beat but don’t knock any of the others – Gary McArthur is a classy southpaw and Derry Mathews has an amateur style that could nick it, you want to steer clear of them.”
The action starts at 8pm on Sky Sports 1 but for fans who are unable to watch the action on TV or at York Hall, Boxing News will be reporting live from east London and can be followed through this link:
