PHILADELPHIA PRO BOXER, SIMON “ONE PUNCH” CARR’S 12 ROUNDS OF CHRISTMAS
Posted on | December 1, 2009 | No Comments
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PHILADELPHIA (December 1, 2009)—In the season of giving, Philadelphia professional boxer, Simon “One Punch” Carr is looking to give back in a big way and help the less fortunate by dedicating time and services to those in need.
Carr, who has been very cognoscente in giving back to the community since his release from prison in 2006.
For the twelve days that precede Christmas, Carr will dedicate a minimum of eight hours per day doing a wide variety of activities such as participating in Toy, Clothes and Food drives, speak at schools, feed the needy, deliver coats and food, dress as Simon Claus and deliver toys to the youth as well as donate boxing equipment and teach youngsters how to box.
On the last day preceding Christmas Simon will host a fashion show that will feature his clothing line “Punchline” and entertainment. The show will be free for identified persons that are less fortunate and any of the proceeds will be donated to State Senator Kenyatta Johnson’s “Peace not Guns” program.
Details on the celebrity event, which will include memorabilia which will be raffled off, will be announced shortly.
The majority of the funds used to operate the 12 rounds of Christmas will be from Simon’s own Pocket. Anyone wishing to donate time, money or items can contact Sporty Smith of Penntucky Sports. The full schedule of events will be released with the times on December 10, 2009.
“I am honored to represent an individual like Simon Carr. It takes a whole lot for someone that doesn’t have much himself to really go out and try to make others whom are less fortunate than him be in a more fortunate position”, said Sporty Smith of Penntucky Sports
Carr knows how important it is to give back to the community.
Carr has been “making good” in the community since his 2006 release from prison, where he served eight years for third degree murder.
Carr was trying to protect his family as he witnessed three people enter his yard and fatally wounded a thirteen year-old. He was charged with manslaughter and exonerated. Carr was found innocent but was re-tried a year later and convicted of third-degree homicide.
While in Prison, Carr spent many hours thinking about how to give back and he has done just so and this is just another of the long line of activities that Carr has shown how important to give back especially in this season of giving.
In 2007-2008, Carr participated in the Exhoodus Tour with Bill Cosby.
This was a tour of ex-offender and spoke to the community about stopping the violence.
Simon Carr’s twelve days of Christmas is being sponsored by Punchline Clothing and Penntucky Sports

WINKY WRIGHT SPEAKS ABOUT PUERTO RICO FIGHT CARD CANCELLATION
Posted on | December 1, 2009 | No Comments
Statement From Winky Wright On Cancellation Of
December 11 Pay-Per-View Show In San Juan, Puerto Rico
Amid conflicting reports regarding reasons for the cancellation of the Winky Wright vs. Grady Brewer Pay-Per-View show scheduled for December 11, Winky Wright has issued the following statement.
“I am really disappointed the show can’t happen as I was training very hard and really wanted to get back in the ring. I was so looking forward to fighting in Puerto Rico in front of all the Puerto Rican people who are boxing fanatics and really know and appreciate the sport.
“I still am a bit shocked the show was cancelled by the promoter in Puerto Rico, but I want to make it perfectly clear it was not because I asked for millions of dollars to fight. We had done everything possible to make this show come together and I knew the financial considerations I needed to make in order for it to happen. Unfortunately now this is not the case, and I will look to find another alternative so I can fight as soon as possible. I hope that we can work something out so that I will be fighting in the early part of 2010, as I am anxious to use all the hard work and training I have already put in for this show. I just hope everyone has a great holiday season, and look for me to fight again soon after the New Year.”

HOPKINS VS. ORNELAS FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES
Posted on | November 30, 2009 | No Comments
BERNARD HOPKINS
“I’m fighting one of the toughest guys out there (Enrique Ornelas) and I have more to lose than him. I must let myself believe that I am him, and that he is me. Not everybody can do it, but I can.
“This is not a tune-up; this is a get-up. This is a get-up for me to get prepared for a new year.
“If there is anyone in this room that thinks that I’m underestimating my opponent, then they don’t know me and they don’t know my legacy.
“No matter where I am financially or historically, I take myself back to when I had nothing. It’s hard to train like you’re starving when your refrigerator’s full. I can see my movie being made and I can see my book being written. It all starts with one word…discipline. Everyone knows having discipline isn’t just tied to being a good athlete. You have to be disciplined to be successful in life.
“As you grow from one stage to another, you can either be more of a problem or more of a solution. Once I understood that, there was no stopping me. I wanted to be a solution and that’s why I’m here.
“You can’t live forever let alone fight forever. When I am not around you will miss me.”
ENRIQUE ORNELAS
“We had a great training camp. We know exactly who we’re facing in Bernard Hopkins. We have worked so hard to prepare to fight a legend and we are ready.
“I’m grateful for this opportunity. I appreciate the support from my team and my family and I am looking forward to getting in the ring on Wednesday night and proving again that I have what it takes to win.”
NAZIM RICHARDSON, Bernard Hopkins’ Trainer
“This is a talented card, a gifted card and a historical card.
“In Philadelphia we have an abundance of legends. This word ‘legend;’ we throw it around so quickly. A kid throws a basketball and suddenly he is a legend. We have to be careful who we give this title to because it is difficult for kids to handle the pressure.
“I didn’t pick this fight. I have worked with Enrique and I know how tough he is.
“Bernard isn’t just winning fights, he is winning fights in a certain way. That is what makes him special and that is what makes him a legend.”
HOWARD GRANT, Enrique Ornelas’ Trainer
“When this fight came up people said to Enrique, ‘You are fighting against Bernard? You don’t have a chance!’, but Bernard is old. Some say, ‘When is he going to hang it up?’ Maybe it will be Wednesday.
(To Hopkins) “I wish you the best of luck. We had a fantastic training camp. We tried to imitate you, which is very difficult because you are one of the smartest fighters out there. You are a role model for these young fighters coming up.
“I know he has planned a fight against Roy Jones, but hopefully Enrique can throw a wrench into that plan on Wednesday night.”
RICHARD SCHAEFER, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions
“This is an amazing card for Philadelphia boxing. You can really see the rich tradition of Philly boxing which is big reason that Bernard wanted to fight here.
“This is the first fight card of this magnitude for Golden Boy East, which is run by Bernard Hopkins. You are going to see some great action on Wednesday night.”
SHANE MOSELY, Six-Time World Champion in Three Weight Divisions
“I am excited to be here in Philadelphia. I am excited to be here and support both Bernard Hopkins and Enrique Ornelas. I have spent a lot of time in camp with Enrique Ornelas and he is very capable to fight a legend like Bernard Hopkins.
“I think it is going to be a great fight. The undercard is going to be explosive. I am looking forward to seeing all of the fights on the card and seeing how the main event is going to transpire with these two great fighters.
“They say boxers age well and Bernard is a prime example. He is definitely a legendary fighter. All of the great fighters have fought to his age and I am excited to see him in the ring again.”
DANNY GARCIA, Undefeated Top Junior Welterweight Prospect
“I want to thank Bernard for hooking it up on the East Coast and giving us this opportunity. I have been waiting for this moment. I have trained really hard. On Wednesday, there will be blood sweat and tears; Philly style.”
KARL DARGAN, Undefeated Lightweight Prospect
“I want to thank everyone for coming out. There are going to be a lot of exciting fights because there is a lot of talent on this card and I am looking forward to fighting and seeing the fights on Wednesday night.”

Newark, NJ – Darren Fallon of Philadelphia has stepped in to face unbeaten junior welterweight and former amateur star Jeremy “Hollywood” Bryan Friday night at Essex County College.
