ROBERT ‘THE GHOST’ GUERRERO TO ATTEND THE 17TH ANNUAL CRITICS’ CHOICE MOVIE AWARDS

Posted on | January 10, 2012 | No Comments

January 10, 2012 – The 17th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards are set to air this Thursday, January 12, on VH1 and multiple world champion boxer, Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero has been invited.  Guerrero will join the red carpet walk with mega-movies stars likeLeonardo Dicaprio, George Clooney and Brad Pitt to name a few.   Founded in 1995, the BFCA presents its Critics’ Choice Movie Awards each year to honor the finest achievements in filmmaking.  A portion of the proceeds from the awards presentation ceremony at the Beverly Hills Hotel is donated to Sean Penn’s J/P HRO Haitian Relief Organization.

 

“It’s going to be fantastic attending the CCRA because this is one of the biggest events in Hollywood and a predictor to the Oscars.  The movie stars that attend this event are the people that bring joy to our lives through movies that we watch with our families.  I’m pleased that a portion of the proceeds will go to the J/P HRO Haitian Relief Organization, a charity that Sean Penn founded to help finance and bring the basic needs to the Haitian families struggling after the earthquake of 2010.”

 

With a potential Floyd Mayweather fight looming, Robert Guerrero continued, “Attending this event is the beginning of a tremendous year for my family and team.  We’ve worked so hard over the years and its paying off.  Last year I walked the red carpet at Robert Downey Jr.’s American Cinematheque Award Presentation, the 12th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, and now the Choice Movie Awards.  I vision myself walking many more red carpets and landing a fight with Floyd Mayweather will enhance my rise to stardom, because I’m going to shock the world and dethrone boxing’s pound for pound champion.

UFC MIDDLEWEIGHT MIKE MASSENZIO IS READY FOR THE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE AT UFC 142

Posted on | January 10, 2012 | No Comments

 

 

“To be the best, you’ve got to beat the best. And I want to fight the best.”

 

Ridgewood, New Jersey (USA): This Saturday at UFC 142 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, New Jersey-based middleweight Mike Massenzio (13-5) will face what many think is the stiffest competition of his young career when he enters the Octagon against Rousimar Palhares (13-3). It’s going to be a very tough fight, with Palhares in possession of a spectacular UFC record, and fighting on his home soil. The Massenzio-Palhares bout will be part of the Pay Per View-broadcasted main card.

 

Massenzio is coming off a huge come-from-behind victory over former WEC champion Steve Cantwell at UFC 136. After taking a bout on three-day’s notice against Krzysztof Soszynski at UFC 131 that resulted in a decision loss, the win over Cantwell was much-needed…and much-deserved. The 6’2” 185-pounder has now won two of his last three bouts, and will now look to take down a top name in Palhares.

 

Here’s video of Massenzio training for his UFC 142 bout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoFeDS8MZew

 

Regarding his thoughts on fighting Palhares, Massenzio said, “It’s a big step up. Palhares is one of the best in the world…he’s ranked number ten in a lot of polls, and he’s a deadly guy. But to be the best, you’ve got the beat the best. And I just want to fight the best.”

 

Sponsoring Massenzio for this all-important bout will be the MMA comic book “Joe Palooka” (Palooka.com) and Azad Watches (AzadWatch.com).

 

“This is our second time sponsoring Mike, and I have to say, I haven’t regretted one second of it. He’s a consummate professional that fights his heart out all the time, every time,” explained Joe Antonacci, “Joe Palooka” creator. “Win or lose, he puts it all on the line each time. In short, he fits PERFECTLY with what Palooka and Azad are all about.”

 

Here’s video of Joe interviewing Mike before his big bout this weekend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWfUEDbwc_0

 

Regardless of the result this Saturday, Massenzio will battle Palhares with every fiber of his being. He’s healthy, and ready to do just that.

 

“I’m 100 percent, 150 percent,” says Massenzio. “I just want to fight the best guys. The quicker I beat them, the quicker I get to the top.”

 

“Joe Palooka” made its world premiere recently with the release of its first issue. Issues #1 & #2 are available for purchase for the first time anywhere at http://www.Palooka.com/, and hard copies of the issue will follow in early 2012. It was also announced that a special 15-page FREE-VIEW is available simply by signing up with an email address onhttp://www.Palooka.com/, and fans can also take advantage of a unique offer on “Joe Palooka” issues #1 and #2, which areavailable together for the low price of only $1.99.

 

The “Joe Palooka” comic series tells the story of Joe Palooka, an MMA fighter who competes in “Legion of Combat,” which is a sister comic publication. “Legion of Combat” will feature Joe Palooka and top MMA stars including “Suga” Rashad Evans, Anthony “Rumble” Johnson, the Blackzilians, Brendan Schaub, and the Miller brothers in team matches between fighters representing countries such as the U.S., the U.K., Brazil, Russia, Japan, China, and other nations.

 

Azad Watches have been worn by top celebrities such as Donald Trump, Eva Longoria, “Dr. J” Julius Erving, Ice Cube, Tony Bennett, Piers Morgan, Barry Bonds, Cedric the Entertainer, Lil’ Wayne, Mickey Rourke, and many others. The brand made its MMA debut recently at UFC 139, and will now take the next step in its development.

Kuehne and Sanchez Defends WBF World Titles

Posted on | January 10, 2012 | No Comments

On Saturday January 14, two World Boxing Federation Women’s World Champions will defend their titles on big shows on both sides of the pond, as Ramona Kuehne takes on Hungarian Renata Domsodi in Germany, and Irma Sanches squares off with Thailands Fahpratan Looksaikongdin in Mexico.

Having won five world titles in three weight classes, WBF Women’s World Super Featherweight Champion Ramona Kuehne is without a doubt one of the most accomplished female boxers on the scene today. Against Domsodi, at the Baden-Arena in Offenburg, she will make her third WBF title defense.

The two will fight on a show aired live by ARD in Germany that also features a Super Middleweight World title bout between Robert Stieglitz and Henry Weber, and the return of “King” Arthur Abraham.

Currently 18-1 (5), with her only defeat coming on a cut against 25-0 Ina Menzer in an unlucky attempt at a world title in a fourth weight class, Kuehne is still only 31 years old and could potentially achieve many more goals in the sport. Amazingly almost half of her professional bouts have been for World titles, and the fight against Domsodi will be her tenth World Championship contest.

Kuehne won the WBF World title in her first fight after the Menzer-setback, when she knocked out Dominican Maribel Santana in June 2010. She has since successfully defended with victories over undefeated opponents Irma Adler and, most recently, Arleta Krausova in April of last year. After nine months of waiting, she is now itching to get back in the ring against Domsodi.

One year older than Kuehne at 32, Budapest-resident Renata Domsodi has only lost once as a pro (7-1, 3 KOs). The loss was in her debut when she dropped a decision to current WBF World Bantamweight Champion Renata Szebeledi, who back then had fifteen bouts under her belt. Since then Domsodi has not looked back, defeating all the opponents put in front of her, and while she will naturally be the underdog against Kuehne she will be an ambitious one.

On the same night, but thousands of miles away in Guadalajara, WBF Women’s World Flyweight Champion Irma Sanchez is making the second defense of her crown against Fahpratan Looksaikongdin. Sanchez won the world title this past July by stopping Panamanian Carlotta Santos, and in her last bout she defended with a unanimous decision over fellow Mexican Susana Cruz Perez in October.

Only 24 years old, Sanchez has already been a pro for more than five years and has had an eventful career spanning 27 fights with 21 victories, 5 defeats and a draw. She won her first title in 2008 when she lifted an International championship, and challenged for her first world crown the following year, losing on points to the much more experienced Mariana Juarez.

Since then Sanchez won a few regional belts and unsuccessfully challenged for another world championship, before finally becoming world champion when she defeated Katia Gutierrez for the IBF Light Flyweight title in January of last year. Losing the title in her first defense to Jessica Chavez, Sanchez decided to move up in weight to capture the WBF world championship.

In her second defense she will stand opposite another young and hungry boxer in 20 year old Looksaikongdin. Despite a modest verified boxing record of 7-3, the Thai girl has already been in three world championship bouts, and fared well in them all despite losing.

In 2009 she was stopped in four rounds by current WBF Light Flyweight World Champion Ju Hee Kim for WIBF, GBU and WIBF titles, but did well enough to earn a rematch in July 2011 where she came up short on points with the WBF title also on the line. In between the two encounters with Kim in South Korea, Looksaikongdin lost on points to Gretchen Abaniel in Manila, Philippines for a Minimumweight World title.

With WBF President Howard Goldberg at ringside, coming all the way from South Africa to witness the fight live, the Irma Sanches vs. Fahpratan Looksaikongdin clash at the Coliseo Olimpico de la UG in Guadalajara, will be presented by Hector Garcia and his HG Boxing, and will go out live to boxing fans via Mexico Televisa.
