Jamaal ‘Da Truth’ Davis, Spitting Nails and Fired Up for October Fight
Posted on | September 27, 2008 | No Comments
26th September 2008 – For Immediate Release
Popular Philadelphia middleweight, Jamaal ‘Da Truth’ Davis 7-4 (6KOs), has been training hard at the James Shuler Memorial Gym to prepare for his return to the ring at the National Guard Armory, Philadelphia on Saturday 4th October against fellow local boy, Chris Hall 3-4-1(2KOs).
This will be Jamaal’s first fight since his controversial loss to New Jersey’s Richard Pierson at the Hard Rock Cafe, NYC earlier this year.
Davis was just 81 seconds from certain victory when the referee stepped in to stop the fight after a cut received during an accidental clash of heads two rounds earlier re-opened.
Davis, who is trained by the highly respected coach Sharron Baker, clearly has no intention of leaving anything to chance as over the past weeks he has enlisted Gee Culmer 15-1 (3KOs), Rock Allen 13-0 (7KOs), Astaim ‘BabyMan’ Bagley 1-0 and fellow ‘fightcard’ mate on the 4th September, Simon ‘Slick Fighting Irish’ O’Donnell 6-1 (3KOs), as sparring partners.
The sparring sessions have been particularly intense affairs, not the usual workouts at all. Jamaal is so fired up that he goes in hard and fast, not to be outdone each of his partners ‘step it up’ in response. It seems unbelievable that at the end of each session that the two combatants are still such good friends.
After one particularly tough sparring session with Astaim ‘BabyMan’ Bagley, Jamaal explained “There’s no hard feelings, they know I want it full on. I’d rather fight every month, always ring ready but that just doesn’t happen.”

“I know what I need to do. I want to fight now. I’m ready.”
As Davis headed off to destroy yet another heavybag, Sharron Baker, Jamaal’s coach chipped in proudly “He’s kicking ass and spitting nails.”
Headlining the Philadelphia Worldwide promoted event will be former world junior middleweight champion Kassim ‘The Dream’ Ouma, 25-5-1 (15 KOs) against Martinus ‘Magnificent’ Clay 13-18-4 (5KOs) from Wilson, North Carolina
The co-features are junior middleweight James Moore, 16-1 (10 KOS), a native of County Wicklow who fights out of New York, and middleweight Simon ‘Slick Fighting Irish’ O’Donnell, 6-1 (3 KOS), a native of County Galway who fights out of Philadelphia.

THE BAD BOYS OF BOXING HIT SEMINOLE HARD ROCK ON NOVEMBER 11TH
Posted on | September 27, 2008 | No Comments
TICKETS GO ON SALE TOMORROW, SEPTEMBER 26TH FOR THE RETURNS OF JOHNSON, MIRANDA AND MCGIRT
HOLLYWOOD, FL, September 25 – It’s a trio of excellence – a former world champion, a top contender, and a star on the rise. On Tuesday, November 11th, these three boxing stalwarts – Glen Johnson, Edison Miranda, and James McGirt Jr. – will step into the ring at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida to show the world once again what happens when the bad boys of boxing put the gloves on.
“THE BAD BOYS OF BOXING” is a night of world-class professional boxing presented by Seminole Warriors Boxing & DiBella Entertainment. Tickets for this event, priced at $152, $102, $52, and $22, will go on sale on Friday, September 26th and may be purchased at Hard Rock Live Box Office or TicketMaster.com.
The remainder of the card will be announced shortly.
A former light heavyweight champion revered throughout the sport as ‘The Road Warrior’, Glen Johnson (47-12-2, 32 KOs) has built a storied career on the foundations of hard work, skill, and heart. Owner of wins over the best of this era, including Roy Jones Jr. and Antonio Tarver, Johnson will be returning to the ring for the first time since his controversial decision loss at the hands of WBC light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson in April. Now, more determined than ever, the 39-year old Miami native is intent on bringing his own judges – his fists – to the Hard Rock on November 11th.
Consistently one of the most exciting fighters in the sport, pound for pound, super middleweight contender Edison ‘Pantera’ Miranda (30-3, 26 KOs) is on the comeback trail after a disappointing loss to Arthur Abraham in their June rematch. But getting on the road back is no problem for the Colombian knockout artist, who already owns the leading candidate for knockout of the year in his third round demolition of David Banks. This November, Miranda plans on adding another segment to his highlight reel.
Rising middleweight star James McGirt Jr. (19-1, 9 KOs) may be the son of legendary former champion Buddy McGirt, but the 25-year old from Vero Beach has started to carve out his own niche in the boxing world with performances like his last one – a dominant ten round decision win over solid contender Raymond Joval on July 25th. Now closing in on the top ten in the world McGirt needs to keep the momentum going with a win on November 11th.

SEMINOLE WARRIORS BOXING TEAMS UP WITH BULLIT KNOCKOUT PROMOTIONS TO SIGN POLISH AMATEUR STAR ARTUR SZPILKA
Posted on | September 27, 2008 | No Comments
HOLLYWOOD, FL, September 25 – Every four years, the ritual is the same, as promoters look to inject the sport of professional boxing with the top amateur talent in the game. This year, Seminole Warriors Boxing has teamed up with prominent Polish promoter Bullit Knockout Promotions to sign a young man they believe is the future of the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions – Artur Szpilka.
“Of all the amateur fighters we’ve been watching over the last few months, there was no question in my mind that Artur was one of best,” said Leon Margules, Executive Director of Seminole Warriors Boxing. “He’s got a great style for the pro game, a maturity you don’t find in too many young pros, and the determination to work hard and win a pro title. We’re excited to see how he progresses, and I think he’s going to be a popular fighter not only in the United States and Europe, but around the world.”
The 19 year old prospect, a Polish National Amateur Champion as well as the European Union Champion, will make his professional debut in October on a date to be announced shortly.
Szpilka joins countrymen and stable mate Krzysztof Wlodarczyk and Tomasz Adamek in a talent-rich cruiserweight division that has recently had many strong showings by Polish athletes. Now it’s Szpilka’s turn.
“I feel a great responsibility to my country and my fans to deliver great performances and to eventually win a world championship,” said Szpilka. “With Bullit Knockout Promotions and Seminole Warriors Boxing on my side, I’m confident that great things are in my future.”

Raul Marquez plans to spoil “King” Arthur’s mega-fight plans against Pavlik or Wright

IBF middleweight title fight Oct. 4 on PPV in U.S. & Canada
HOBOKEN, N.J. (September 25, 2008) – Former world champion Raul “El Diamente” Marquez, who overcome the destruction of Hurricane Ike, recently broke his Houston training camp and departed for Germany, where on October 4th he challenges unbeaten International Boxing Federation middleweight champion “King” Arthur Abraham, headlining a pay-per-view card airing in the United States and Canada live from Bamberg, Germany.
Abraham-Marquez is promoted by Wilfried Sauerland, presented by Sauerland Event and its Managing Director, Christian Meyer, in association with Seminole Warriors Boxing. The broadcast is being distributed in the United States and Canada by Integrated Sports for live viewing at 3 PM/ET – 12 PM/PT on both cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand, TVN, DirecTV, DISH Network, Viewer’s Choice Canada, and Bell ExpressVue, for a suggested retail price of only $24.95. A replay will be shown that same night starting at 9 PM/ET. Al Bernstein and Nick Charles will call the action.
“I don’t talk trash-talk,” Marquez said right before leaving Houston, “but we took on Hurricane Ike, so Arthur Abraham should be nothing. We still don’t have electricity in my house, I’ve been staying at my sister-in-law’s house, and we had to wait 1 ½ hours for gas. I’m very positive about this fight. We’re going over there to win.
“I fought in Germany as an amateur and I’m sure some of Abraham’s coaches remember me. You read about needing to knockout your opponent over there to get a draw (laughs). I just hope the judges are fair. The judges are from America, Mexico and England. Wayne Kelly from New York City is the referee. I couldn’t ask for a better situation over there. All I can hope for is a fair decision. I’m glad this fight is on pay-per-view so people can judge for themselves. If there’s controversy, people back home will be able to see it and know who really won.”
Abraham (27-0, 22 KOs), rated No. 2 by The Ring and ESPN, captured the IBF middleweight title early three years ago by way of a fifth-round knockout of Kingsley Ikeke (23-1). Eight successful title defenses have followed against Edison Miranda twice, Shannon Taylor, Kofi Jantuah, Sebastian Demers, Khoren Gevor, Wayne Elcock and Elvin Ayala.
The 37-year-old Marquez (41-3-1, 29 KOs), rated No. 2 by the IBF as well as No. 8 by The Ring and ESPN, earned his title shot against Abraham by defeating previously unbeaten No. 1 contender Giovanni Lorenzo (26-0) in their IBF title eliminator on the June 21.
Marquez, a 1992 U.S. Olympian who owned the IBF junior middleweight title belt in 1997, is motivated by talk about Abraham fighting Kelly Pavlik or Winky Wright next year. “It’s like they’re ignoring me,” Marquez explained. “They’re looking ahead. I was a 4-1 underdog my last fight and I’ve trained even harder for this one. Only two out of 35 writers picked me to win my last fight and it’s pretty much the same thing for the Abraham fight. Abraham’s people are looking beyond me. I want to spoil all that talk about him fighting Pavlik or Wright in his next fight. Nobody’s giving me much of a shot but I’m ready.
“My game plan is to make him fight. He’s powerful and strong; I am, too. And I’m motivated by him looking ahead. I’ve gone back to my roots with my father (Arturo) and brother (Aldo) in my corner the last four fights. I tried some different trainers but my father made me an Olympian and world champion. I’m older and wiser now. I’m getting hit and cut less. I think my father’s the best trainer in the world. After I beat Abraham he’s going to be Trainer of the Year.”
Despite taking off 1 ½ years to work as a broadcaster, Raul is still much more battle tested in the ring than Abraham – 269 to 161 in rounds fought – having fought world champions Jermain Taylor, Shane Mosley, Fernando Vargas and Yori Boy Campas.
“This isn’t going to be an easy fight and Abraham knows it,” Marquez added. “I have a lot more experience than him having fought Mosley, Taylor and Vargas, as well as other experienced fighters like Campas, (Keith) Mullings, (Jose Alfredo) Flores and (Bronco) McKart. I’ve fought guys with all kinds of different styles. I’m left-handed and I think that’s going to give Abraham problems. I’ve watched tapes of his fights and I think he had problems against (southpaw) Ian Gardiner. Even at 37, I will bring courage, power, great conditioning and keep a steady pace like I did in my last fight.
“After losing to Jermain Taylor, to get this far and fight for a world title again, well, it’s amazing. It’s weird but I feel better now than I ever have. Ten years after I was world champion, 16 years after I made my pro debut (Oct. 3, 1992), I want it (world title) more and appreciate boxing more than ever. I love everything about boxing.”
The 10-round co-feature on the PPV show from Germany has former NABO champion Otis “Triple OG” Griffin (19-3-2, 7 KOs), of Sacramento, taking on Yugoslavian-born Enad Licina (14-1, 8 KOs), now living in Germany, for the vacant IBF Intercontinental cruiserweight belt. Additional undercard bouts to be part of the PPV card will soon be announced.

Tarver-Dawson, Peter-Klitschko twin-bill finds a Canadian home
Posted on | September 25, 2008 | No Comments
Super Channel lands World Title Double Header
EDMONTON, AB September 25, 2008 – It’s one of the most talked about boxing broadcasts of the year, and Super Channel is the only place Canadian fight fans can catch it.
On October 11, Las Vegas, Nevada and Berlin, Germany serve as the respective battlegrounds in a night of boxing action that could very well be the best TV card of the year as IBF Light Heavyweight champion Antonio “Magic Man” Tarver (27-4, 19 KO’s) defends his crown against undefeated ex-champion “Bad” Chad Dawson (26-0, 17 KO’s), and WBC Heavyweight champion Sam Peter (30-1, 23 KO’s) puts his title up for grabs against former WBC champion Vitali Klitschko (35-2, 34 KO’s).
All the action gets underway at 9 p.m. ET on Super Channel.
“Super Channel is fast becoming the ultimate destination for Canadian fight fans,” said Sandy Perkins Super Channel, Vice president, Programming. “It is a superb live offer and another great example of how we are offering our subscribers coast-to-coast programming they’ve never had access to before.”
Dawson, who dethroned Tomasz Adamek for the WBC belt in February of 2007 before notching three successful defenses, believes that Tarver’s best days are behind him.
“I come into every fight in tremendous shape. There’s nothing that Antonio Tarver does that can throw me off my game plan,” Dawson said. “He’s slow, he’s old. Come on, look at my last three performances and look at his and tell me who the better fighter is.”
According to Tarver, Dawson indeed has youth on his side, but it’s not holding the defending champion in good stead.
“(Dawson) is very naïve, a guy that is very young, obviously, mentally,” Tarver said of Dawson. “(Many) have come and tried to conquer and have tried to take me out. It has never been done before and it won’t get done on Oct. 11. All this guy is hoping for is that I show up less then prepared. They are looking to roll the dice and get lucky. That’s it, bottom line. But I’m here to tell you, I’m here to put the world on notice that it won’t happen.”
While the light heavyweight division is alive with vibrant contenders and champions like Tarver and Dawson throughout its top ten, the heavyweight division is looking for a definitive statement, and many feel the winner of Peter-Klitschko will provide boxing fans just that.
Peter claimed the full-fledged WBC heavyweight crown with a sixth round TKO over Oleg Maskaev in March of this year, and is looking at not only taking out Vitali, who is coming out of a nearly four year hiatus, but eventually Klitschko’s younger brother, IBF champion Wladimir.
“I want to send Vitali back into retirement, and then end his brother’s reign as champion,” boasted Peter. “I will become the first fighter to end an entire family’s boxing career. Everyone is going down. The heavyweight division is mine.”

OSCAR DE LA HOYA AND MANNY PACQUIAO TO ANNOUNCE MEGA-FIGHT AT STATUE OF LIBERTY IN NEW YORK CITY ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1
Posted on | September 25, 2008 | 1 Comment
FIRST EVER PRESS CONFERENCE ON LIBERTY ISLAND KICKS-OFF
SIX-CITY MEDIA TOUR TO PROMOTE DECEMBER 6TH SHOWDOWN
Los Angeles, CA (September 25, 2008)–Boxing superstars Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao will each make one of the biggest announcements of their respective careers when they officially announce their December 6 mega-fight at one of the most cherished landmarks in the United States-the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island in New York City. The press event, the first ever to take place on Liberty Island, will kick-off a six-city press tour marking the official announcement of what is a dream match-up for sports fans and one of the biggest fights in boxing history.
While the Statue of Liberty hosts more than five million visitors each year, this will be the first press conference ever held on Liberty Island. Dedicated in 1886, the Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the United States. Over the years, the Statue of Liberty has become a symbol of freedom and democracy as it was the first landmark that millions of immigrants saw upon arrival in the United States. In 1924 it was named a National Monument and is one of the most recognizable statues in the world.
“We are delighted to be hosting this event on Liberty Island,” said Brad Hill, President of Evelyn Hill Inc, the Concessionaire to the National Park Service. “This event is unlike anything we have ever done. By virtue of their great successes, Mexican American Oscar de la Hoya and Filipino Manny Pacquiao embody what the Statue of Liberty represents. We are working hard to ensure that this is not only a memorable day for the fighters and their camps, but everyone who attends.”
De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank, Inc. and sponsored by Cazadores Tequila, Cerveza Tecate, Dewalt Tools and Southwest Airlines. The 12-round, 147-pound welterweight bout is set for Saturday, Dec. 6 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nev. and will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View.
“Having the opportunity to announce the fight at the Statue of Liberty is like a dream come true for me,” said De La Hoya. “As the son of immigrants and a very proud Mexican-American, I believe the Statue of Liberty is the United States’ greatest symbol of freedom and opportunity. I take great pride in what I have been able to accomplish as the son of immigrants and see myself as a true testament to the notion that with opportunity, hard work and determination anyone can realize their dreams.”
“Although I am from the Philippines, the United States has given me the greatest opportunity to advance my career and financial security for my family and me,” said Pacquiao. “Many Filipinos and some of my family members live there and the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of the great opportunities offered by the United States to the rest of the world.”
In addition to the Statue of Liberty stop, the De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao press tour will stop at other monumental locations across the country that reinforces the magnitude of the event. The tour schedule is as follows:
October 1 New York City-Statue of Liberty-Open to the Public (Noon)
October 2 Chicago, IL-Sears Tower-Media Only (Noon)
October 3 Houston, TX-Space Center Houston-Media Only (11:00 am)
October 3 San Antonio, TX-The Alamo-Open to the Public (3:00 pm)
October 4 San Francisco, CA-Golden Gate Park Chrissy Field-Open to the Public (Noon)October 7 Los Angeles, CA-Whittier Boulevard Arch-Open to the Public (Noon)
The De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao pay-per-view telecast, beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT, will be produced and distributed by HBO Pay-Per-View and will be available to more than 71 million pay-per-view homes.
