Integrated Sports Distributing Nov. 7 card live from Germany

HOBOKEN, N.J. (October 23, 2009) – North American boxing fans can view the much-anticipated “David vs. Goliath” World Boxing Association heavyweight championship boxing match between Nikolai “The Russian Giant” Valuev and David “The Hayemaker” Haye, live on Pay-Per-View on Saturday, Nov. 7 from Nuremberg, Germany.

Valuev (50-1, 34 KOs), from St. Petersburg, Russia, is the two-time and current WBA heavyweight champion and has fought and defeated a “Who’s Who” of heavyweight champions including Evander “The Real Deal Holyfield, John Ruiz (twice), and Sergey Lyakhovich. He also holds the distinction of being the tallest and heaviest champion in history at a daunting 7 feet and 325 pounds.

Haye, (22-1, 21 KOs), from London, England, wreaked havoc on the cruiserweight division with a knockout percentage over 90 percent. He left the division last year to move up to heavyweight, while still on top as the unified WBA/WBC/WBO cruiserweight champion.

The question to be answered is will the smaller yet faster Haye bring his explosiveness to the heavyweight division against an opponent he will be giving away 9 inches in height and about 100 pounds in weight to. Many boxing experts thing Haye has the perfect skill set of speed and power to frustrate the bigger and taller champion. Valuev claims he has faced and defeated numerous fighters with superior speed.

Valuev-Haye is promoted by Wilfried Sauerland’s Sauerland Event and its Managing Director, Christian Meyer, in association with Don King Productions. The broadcast is being distributed by Integrated Sports in the United States by Integrated Sports for live viewing at 3 PM/ET – 12 PM/PT on both cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand, DIRECTV, TVN, Viewer’s Choice and Bell TV for a suggested retail price of only $24.95. A replay will be shown that same night at 9 PM/ET, 6 PM/PT.

Legendary promoter Don King co-promotes Valuev with Sauerland Event.

“Nikolai Valuev is a giant of a man with a giant heart,” King said. “He’s philosophical and intuitive inside and outside the ring.

“David Haye is new to the heavyweights, and Niko is a veteran world champion. I hope the Brit knows what he’s getting into as my man has proven time and again that size and talent rule the day in the heavyweight division.”

Valuev captured the WBA title by defeating John Ruiz in 2005 and made numerous successful defenses before suffering the sole loss of his career in a razor-thin, disputed majority decision at the hands of Ruslan Chagaev in 2007.

After Valuev earned the right to a re-match with Chagaev, a series of medical problems caused Chagaev to be stripped of the title. In the end, Valuev’s win in a re-match with Ruiz last year resulted in him becoming WBA champion for a second time.

“The Hayemaker” has beaten four world cruiserweight champions: Enzo Maccarinelli (TKO1) for the WBA/WBC/WBO crowns, Jean Marc Mormeck (TKO7) for the WBC/WBA championships, Giacobbe Fragomeni (TKO9) for the European title and “King” Arthur Williams (TKO3). Haye’s only pro loss was 13 fights ago to Carl Thompson (TKO5) in 2004.

“We are excited to be distributing this great heavyweight title fight between the 7-foot ‘Russian Giant,’ Nicolai Valuev, and the charismatic David Haye,” Integrated Sports president Doug Jacobs said. “North American fight fans want to see more of the spectacle, Valuev, and they wonder if Haye can back-up what he’s been saying. This is a true David versus Goliath match-up in every sense. Strong supporting bouts also airing on this pay-per-view card will soon be announced.”

Edison “Pantera” Miranda Scores Spectacular 1st Round KO; Manuel “El Toro” Quezada Retains WBC CABOFE Heavyweight Title

October 22, 2009 Tachi Palace Casino in Lemoore CA

Former world title challenger and current top rated super-middleweight contender, Edison “Pantera” Miranda (33-4, 29 KO’s), scored a spectacular 1st round KO over Mexican National Champion, Francisco “Panchito” Sierra (20-3, 19 KO’s).

Early in the round both fighters were feeling each other out. Sierra came out jabbing while Miranda landed some left hooks to the head. The action started to get heavy as the round continued and both fighters were landing solid punches. Miranda started to work his way inside and used his strength to back up Sierra. Sierra was holding his ground but headed to the ropes. That’s when Miranda landed an overhand right, that landed flush on Sierra’s temple. The fight was stopped immediately at 2:16 of round one and Miranda became the new NABO super-middleweight champion.

“This victory puts me right back into title contention,” said Miranda. “Joe Goossen is the best trainer in the world. Everyday I’m in the gym I’m learning something new. With Goossen in my corner, nobody is going to beat me. I want to thank Dan Goossen for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to fight for the NABO title. I can’t wait to see what my team has lined up for me next.”

10 Round WBC CABOFE Heavyweight Championship Bout

Manuel “El Toro” Quezada retained his WBC CABOFE Heavyweight title with a hard fought unanimous decision over Nicolai “Stone Man” Firtha.

Firtha was game from the opening bell coming out aggressive with a stiff jab trying to back up Quezada with his size advantage. Quezada remained calm, using his great feat and experience to get out of harms way, while finding a home for his powerful right hand.

Quezada mounted an early lead as he continued to score with an overhand right in the middle rounds. Manuel started to push Nicolai backwards but the AkronOhio native was resistant, giving it his all.

Entering the final rounds the referee stopped the action a few times because of head butts brought forth by Firtha. Manuel regained his focus and his power shots were starting to take effect, as he had Firtha on wobbly legs. At the end of round ten, Quezada was announced the winner. Scorecards read 98-92, 97-93, 99-91 all in favor for Quezada.

“This was a good tough fight for me.” Quezada said. “I gained a lot of valuable experience fighting a bigger man. Joe Goossen guided my corner to perfection. I’m excited to see what my promoter Dan Goossen has in store for me next. Vitali is my main target. I’m willing to fight him anywhere, anytime.”

6 Round Lightweight Bout
Former Lightweight world title challenger, Martin “El Brochas’ Honorio (26-4-1, 14 KO’s) was deducted two points for low blows in the early rounds of his six round bout with journeyman Ricardo Medina (31-35-5, 17 KO’s). After settling down in the later rounds, Honorio started to land some nice hooks to the head. In round five, Honorio brutally ended the bout with a picture perfect overhand right that landed flush on the chin of Medina. The fight was stopped at 2:07 of round three. With the victory, Honorio now faces Goossen Tutor Promotions undefeated rising star, John Molina (18-0, 14 KO’s) November 28, at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula California, televised live on Showtimes Showbox series.

4 Round Super-Welterweight Bout
San Diego’s Alan Sanchez (3-0, 1 KO) remained undefeated with a second round TKO over Ukrainian native Mikhail Lyuubarsky (3-13, 1 KO). Sanchez came out aggressive throwing a hard one-two combo that dropped Lyuubarsky midway through round one. After dropping Lyuubarsky for a second time with a straight right hand in round two, Sanchez ended the bout with a flurry of punches, forcing the referee to stop the bout at the 1:06 mark.

4 Round Super-Bantamweight Bout
After a slow first round, Bakersfield’s Epharaim Martinez picked up the pace in the second round, forcing Rodrigo Romero to take a knee as he landed multiple punches in an exciting exchange. Entering the third round, Martinez continued to apply preassure landing punches at will and Romero went down for the second time. It was evident that Romero was tired and didn’t want to continue. Martinez landed a final combination and referee Dan Stell halted the action at 2:28 of round three. Martinez improves to (3-0, 1 KO)

6 Round Jr. Welterweight Bout
Jr. Welterweight prospect Mike Dallas Jr. (11-0-1, 2 KO’s) cruised to a six round unanimous victory over Escondido’s Sergio De La Torre (11-13-3, 1 KO’s). Dallas used his superior speed to dominate the action. Scorecards read 58-56, 60-54 twice.

4 Round Super-Bantamweight Bout
Visalia’s Aaron Alafa (3-1, 1 KO) survived a third round knock down to win a split decision over Danny Pontoja (0-1-1). Scorecards read 38-37 for each fighter with the last judge scoring it 39-37 for Alafa.

Joey Spina: “They call me ‘KO Kid’ for a reason. I have as many knockouts with my right, maybe more, than my left. Anytime I hit somebody right, they go to sleep. Eight now, I’m liking my right better than my left. My goal is to be the first to stop him (Del Valle) I don’t know if I’ll stop him with a right or left, to his head or body, but I’m picking eight rounds. I don’t think he’ll get of the stool and come out after eight. He’s slick but how can he be slick when I’m pressuring him from start to finish?”
