Win or bust for Arthur in Prizefighter
Posted on | May 22, 2010 | No Comments
Welshman laying his career on the line at York Hall
Jamie Arthur says that defeat at Prizefighter Super Bantamweights at York Hall, Bethnal Green on Saturday May 29 will spell the end of his career.
The 2002 Commonwealth Games winner fought Martin Lindsay for the British featherweight title in March and although Lindsay won on points, he praised the Welshman for his character after the fight, and it was a display that convinced Arthur to go for broke in Barry Hearn’s latest eight-man, one night tournament.
“If I lose Prizefighter – I’m done,” said Arthur. “I know I’m taking a massive gamble. Martin and I had a good tear up and I felt good after. If anything, I didn’t do myself harm by losing, my reputation is still intact.
“There could be an opportunity to fight at super-bantamweight and work my way up to a British title that way, that could be in the next two or three moves. I know no-one is going to want to touch me if I lose Prizefighter. This is the balance of my career but that’s what life is about, you only get places if you go out on a limb and take a chance.”
The 30 year-old – who replaced Craig Lyon in the line-up – may be taking a gamble but he says it’s a calculated one as should he win, the Pontypridd man hopes the big fights will come his way.
“I’m not sure whether I am at the bottom of the pile after losing to Lindsay, there’s boys like John Simpson and other guys working their way up, but if I win Prizefighter I’m right back in the mix again,” said Arthur – who has won 16 of his 19 fights. “That’s what boxing is all about, the public want to see good title fights and every fight I’ve been in has been exciting fights. If I don’t get them, I guess I’ll just have to hang them up.
With the line-up now settled, Arthur is well aware that he is one of the bigger names on the bill, but claims he should not be a favourite after getting the call with less than a fortnight before the big night.
“There’s definitely a target on my head and I’m the man to beat, but I look at it that I have had less time to prepare than most of them so in my mind I’m the underdog,” said Arthur. “In every interview for every fight I’ve had, I’ve always said I want to be the underdog, not the guy that the rest want to knock off their pedestal, because that adds more pressure. I’m here to win it and I’m here with just 12 days notice – sometimes things happen for a reason and we’re thrown into situations and told “sink or swim” – this is one of those situations.
“Make no mistake, anyone of the eight fighters can win this Prizefighter, all you have to do is go like a bull out of a gate for three rounds and that’s what makes it interesting – it’s revived boxing for me.”
There’s a strong Welsh presence on the night with unbeaten Swansea fighter Ricky Owen and Newport’s Robbie Turley hoping to pick up the £32,000 winner’s cheque and follow in the footsteps of Gavin Rees, the Prizefighter Light Welterweight champion from Newbridge.
“I think it’s a dead cert that I’ll be drawn against a Welshman but this is business, we’re here to do the best we can,” said Arthur. “There could easily be an all-Welsh final and a Welsh winner. Rees has won this and he beat another Welshman Jason Cook in the semis – the Welsh contingent has always been strong but no matter where we’re from, everyone is just here gagging to win it.
Arthur said his Commonwealth Games experience would be vital on the night, saying that the draw format is a test of a fighter’s ability to react to change.
“I’m quite adaptable so it depends what my opponent does – I’m an intelligent enough guy to box a guy into the fight I want to suit my strengths,” said Arthur. “I’m here to win this – I don’t take any opportunities that I don’t feel I can win.
“I only want to fight in the most exciting contests that I can – Commonwealth, European and British title and Prizefighter of course – I want to be in the mix of things. I’m not interested in fighting on six or eight round bills in small halls and trying to work my way back up – I’m 30 years old and a qualified draughtsman so I can make a living out of work rather than dedicating all my time and effort in struggling along in boxing. If I’m going to do this I want to be up there at the pinnacle fighting the best – when I looked at this line-up with the likes of Esham Pickering in it and some undefeated fighters too – any of us can with this tournament, it’s up to who performs on the night and who has the best game plan.
Tickets for Prizefighter Super-Bantamweights are available now at £35 (unreserved), £60 (ringside) and £100 (VIP) – call Matchroom Sport on 01277 359900.
Sylvia forces Pudzianowski to submit in second round

(MORE IN-DEPTH RINGSIDE REPORT COVERAGE TO FOLLOW)
WORCESTER, Mass. (May 21, 2010) – Former 2-time UFC champion Tim “Maine-iac” Sylvia forced 5-time World’s Strongest Man Mariusz Pudzianowski to tap-out in the second round of the super heavyweight main event of this evening’s “Moosin” God Of Martial Arts” mixed martial arts pay-per-view show at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Sylvia, a native of Eastbrook, Maine, used his experience, arm length and boxing skills to defeat Pudzianowski, who was making his U.S. debut in only his third pro fight.
“This feels great, man,” Sylvia said after the fight. “I’m back. Mariusz Pudzianowski is one helluva tough guy. This provides me with an opportunity to get another big fight, hopefully in three months. It didn’t go as I had planned. I thought I’d knock him out in the first round but I was a little cautious. My corner told me after the first round I could do anything because he was gassed. Once he failed on the takedowns, I knew I had him.”
In the co-main event, heavyweight Travis Wiuff recorded his 61st win, unloading a vicious left hook, followed by two rights that dropped Josh Barnes, which ended the fight only 34 seconds into the opening round.
Middleweight Rafael Natal (12-2-0) stopped Travis Lutter (10-6-0) by way of unanswered strikes in the opening round of their middleweight match.

Boston lightweight Mike Campbell (9-2) registered the most significant victory of his young career, taking a 3-round decision from veteran (Yves Edwards (37-15-1) in a back-and-forth fight.
In a rematch featuring two of the top female MMA fighters in the world, Roxy Modaferri (15-5-0) avenged her loss, winning a split decision against Tara LaRosa (18-2-0).
Polish heavyweight Lukasz Jurkowski improved his record to 15-9, striking Ho Jin Kim with back-to-back right hands for a first-round knockout.

Vitali Klitschko speaks from training camp
Posted on | May 20, 2010 | No Comments
Going/Austria (May 19, 2010) – Vitali Klitschko (41-2, 37 KOs), of Kiev (Ukraine) and Hamburg (Germany), participated yesterday in a media work out in his training camp in Austria. He discussed his upcoming WBC heavyweight title defense against former European Champion Albert Sosnowski (45-2-1, 27 KOs), of Warsaw (Poland) and Brentwood (UK). The eagerly anticipated heavyweight championship will take place on Saturday, May 29, at VELTINS-Arena Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
Tickets, starting at € 20, can be purchased online at www.eventim.de or by phone +49-1805-57 00 70.
The fight presented by K2 Promotions and Klitschko Management Group, is being distributed in North America by Integrated Sports Media for live viewing at 3 PM/ET – 12 PM/PT on both cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand, DIRECTV, TVN and DISH Network in the United States, as well as Bell TV, Shaw PPV and Viewer’s Choice in Canada, for a suggested retail price of only $24.95.
VITALI KLITSCHKO:
About Albert Sosnowski
“I expect Albert Sosnowski to be in the best shape of his life. I am sure that he will not run and hide like my last opponent Kevin Johnson. He said that he will give his all to get my belt, but I am well prepared and will not underestimate him.”
“Albert Sosnwoski is not a big name and not so famous in boxing so far. But that does not count at all. He will be very powerful and will always go forward. He will do anything to get my title.”
About his preparation
“I have trained very hard and I am in a very good condition. I am prepared to go 12 rounds if I have to.”
About the fight in the soccer stadium in Gelsenkirchen, Germany
“I am looking forward to fighting in a big arena as my brother Wladimir did in Schalke and recently in Düsseldorf. The Schalke stadium is great and I am really looking forward to going there in a couple of days. I know from Wladimir’s fight and from soccer matches I have attended in the arena that the fans and the atmosphere are terrific.”
About future fights
“Fights against David Haye and Nikolay Valuev are interesting fights, but I am not sure if they dare to step in the ring with me or my brother. Anyway, I am not thinking of any other opponents than Albert Sosnowski right now. ”
About being a professional sport man and a politician
“Right now I am able to handle both sides well, like Manny Pacquiao in the Philipines. I want to implement western standards in the Ukraine, my country has so much potential and I want to help to make things better.”
FRITZ SDUNEK, Vitali’s trainer
“Vitali is in an extraordinary shape. Once again, he improved his boxing skills. We have worked a lot on his footwork and he went through more than 110 rounds of sparring.”

“Devastated” McCullough in Prizefighter KO
Posted on | May 20, 2010 | No Comments
Unbeaten “Big Bang” Casey gets dream chance to replace injured hero
A hand injury has forced Wayne McCullough to withdraw from Prizefighter Super-Bantamweights at York Hall, Bethnal Green on Saturday May 29.
Former WBC world champion McCullough had been training hard to make his comeback in Barry Hearn’s latest eight-man, one night tournament but the 39 year-old has been advised that he will be unable to fight for at least two months.
“I am really devastated to be missing out on Prizefighter but the hand injury is pretty bad,” said McCullough. “My Doctor has advised me not to use the hand at all for training or fighting for the next 6-8 weeks. We are all packed and ready to go and we really wanted to be there but this is boxing and these things happen.”
McCullough’s misfortune has thrown a golden opportunity to young Irish fighter Willie “Big Bang” Casey to take his hero’s place and battle for the Prizefighter crown. The big punching Casey, who has four knockout victories in his unbeaten five fight career, is sure to be a danger man on an explosive night.
“He was an idol to me and I really looked up to him when I was starting out,” said Casey. “I followed his career from after the 1992 Olympics, he fought some great Mexicans and took on Naseem Hamed and I remember watching those fights.
“I don’t feel under pressure as his replacement though, it’s more excitement – although it would’ve been so great to fight him and I know his style would suit me. But I’m just delighted to be in Prizefighter and it’s my chance to prove that I can make it to the top.”
The 28 year-old from Limerick comes into the fight after an impressive victory over previously undefeated Canadian Super-Bantamweight champion Tyson Cave, flooring him four times en-route to his fourth KO victory – Casey promises Prizefighter fans that his style of fighting is made for the format.
“They don’t call me Big Bang for nothing – I like a good scrap,” said Casey. “I like to get in there and I like boxers who like to get involved as it makes the fights more exciting. Cave was 10-0 before he faced me and I went over to Canada and beat him so my confidence is sky high going into this.”
With less than a fortnight before York Hall opens its doors to the eight contenders, Casey dismissed any suggestions that he would be under-cooked going into Prizefighter as a late replacement.
“I train for every type of fight and every type of scenario and I prepare for everything – last minute replacements, change of fighters, anything,” said Casey. “You have to prepare for everything in this game as anything can happen at the last minute – mentally and physically you have to be ready for that and I am.
“I’m an exciting fighter and the last thing people want to do with me is take me lightly. Don’t look at my record and think “he’s only fought five times” – you don’t want to take any chances with Big Bang.”
Tickets for Prizefighter Super-Bantamweights are available now at £35 (unreserved), £60 (ringside) and £100 (VIP) – call Matchroom Sport on 01277 359900.

Moosin Press Conference Quotes
Posted on | May 19, 2010 | No Comments
Tim Sylvia: “It’s going to be a good fight Friday night. I’ve been asked if it’s been difficult finding workout partners like my opponent who is 280 pounds with 4-percent body fat and gases-out after 45-seconds. Yeah, my workout partners don’t usually gas-out after 45-seconds. He (Pudzianowski) is big, strong and a worthy opponent. Friday night we’re going to have some fun.”
Mariusz Pudzianowski: “I know I’m just a beginner compared to my opponent, but I’m going to put on a great fight Friday night, and may the best man win.”
Travis Lutter: “I’m a man of few words. I just want to thank Rafael for taking the fight.”
Rafael Natal: “I’ve waited a long time for this fight. Every fighter wants a chance to fight a big fighter and Lutter’s a big fighter. I know that he is a very good Jiu-Jitsu fighter. I’ve trained hard. Whether stand-up, or on the floor, I’ve prepared.”
Yves Edwards: “I’m real excited to be here. I’ve heard nothing but good things about Campbell. I know about his strength. I’m going to have to counter that to win. I’m leaving New England with a W.”
Mike Campbell: “I’m honored to be fighting a guy like Yves. He’s a good guy and a class act. I promised myself that you’ll see the best Mike Campbell. We’re both going to bring it. It’s going to be a good fight with a lot of fireworks and very entertaining.”
Roxy Modafferi: “I’m very happy to be here fighting for Moosin and in Worcester. I’ve been training really hard. It’s a rematch but this time I’m going away with a win. I’m looking forward to facing Tara in the cage.”
Ho Jin Kim: “I’m prepared for this match. I’m going to show you a strong fight.”
Lukasz Jurkowski: “I’m glad to be here and very happy to be part of the Moosin organization. Ho Jin Kim is a very tough guy. This will be one of the best fights of the evening. I’ve been preparing for this fight almost two months, so he must be very careful and well prepared.”
