UNDEFEATED SUBMISSION WIZARD JIM HETTES READY TO END 2011 WITH A BANG

Posted on | December 28, 2011 | No Comments

 “There is one goal…getting my hand raised this weekend.”

 

Ridgewood, New Jersey (USA): This Friday, Gracie fighter Jim Hettes will bring his undefeated 9-0 record into the Octagon against Nam Phan (17-9) at UFC 141 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This bout, which will populate the PPV-broadcasted main card, has the potential to steal the show and overshadow some of the higher-profile bouts at the event.

 

The Pennsylvania-based Hettes, a 5’9” featherweight, began his fighting career with a 4-0 amateur record. He turned pro in 2009, and ran off eight straight submission victories, including one over Bellator vet Jacob Kirwan. The Kirwan win garnered Hettes a contract with the UFC. He then made his debut at “UFC Live: Hardy vs. Lytle,” grabbing an impressive 2^nd-round rear-naked choke victory over Alex Caceres. Now he’ll face Phan, a seasoned vet with a penchant for putting on “Fight of the Night” performances.

 

“Nam is a very solid fighter and pretty well-rounded. I am very confident in my submission skills and hope to put them on display yet again this Friday. I am also continuing to work on other elements of my game so I am happy to take this fight in any direction.”

 

Sponsoring this rising your star will be the MMA comic book “Joe Palooka” (Palooka.com) and Azad Watches (AzadWatch.com).

 

“It is very cool to be in with these companies during the early stages,” says Hettes. “I look forward to seeing more and more exciting things from them. It is great that they also do such a great job of helping promote us as fighters.”

 

“Jim Hettes exemplifies what ‘Palooka’ and Azad are all about,” states Joe Antonacci, “Joe Palooka” creator. “He’s talented, on the rise, and ready to make an impact. I’m proud to bring him on-board with Team Palooka.”

 

Regardless of the result this Friday, the future is bright for Hettes. But he’s not quite ready to drop the curtain on 2011 quite yet.

 

“I haven’t looked forward to 2012 yet as right now there is one goal and that is getting my hand raised this weekend,” concludes Hettes. “It is a great fight card and I am happy to be a part of it. After what hopefully will be my 10th win this coming weekend, I just want to keep getting better and grow as a fighter.”

 

 

 

“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.

JERMAIN TAYLOR & ANDRE DIRRELL & JESSIE NICKLOW CONFERENCE CALL HIGHLIGHTS

Former World Champ Taylor, at right against Arthur Abraham, Faces Nicklow at Middleweight;

Super Middleweight Dirrell, at left, Makes Return Against Darryl Cunningham;

Unbeaten Light Heavyweights Luis Garcia and Alexander Johnson Round Out Tripleheader
Friday Night Live on a Special Edition of ShoBox: The New Generation On SHOWTIME^®  

 

NEW YORK (Dec. 28, 2011) – Two Super Six World Boxing Classic fighters, former undisputed middleweight champion Jermain Taylor and consensus top-five super middleweight Andre Dirrell, took part in a media teleconference call on Wednesday to discuss their return to the ring on a special edition of ShoBox: The New Generation this Friday, Dec. 30, live on SHOWTIME^® (11 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) fromMorongo Casino Resort & Spa in Cabazon, Calif.

 

The ShoBox main event will spotlight Taylor (28-4-1, 17 KOs), of Little Rock, Ark., in a scheduled 10-round middleweight bout. Taylor’s first start in 26 months represents a return to the division he once dominated. He will face Jessie Nicklow (22-2-3, 8 KOs) of Baltimore, Md.

 

Long regarded as one of the world’s premier super middleweight contenders, Dirrell will return to the ring for the first time in 21 months when he faces Darryl Cunningham in the co-feature. Dirrell (19-1, 13 KOs), of Flint, Mich., has not fought since winning by 11^th-round disqualification over Arthur Abraham in The Super Six World Boxing Classic on March 27, 2010. Cunningham (24-2, 10 KOs), ofDetroit, has been victorious in 17 consecutive starts and has not lost since December 2007.

 

In the opening bout of the telecast, former Cuban amateur standout Luis “El Leon” Garcia (11-0, 9 KOs) of Cork, Ireland, meets southpaw Alexander “The Great” Johnson (12-0, 5 KOs, 1 NC) ofOxon Hill, Md., in an eight-round showdown of undefeated light heavyweights.

 

Here are what the principals had to say on Wednesday:

 

JERMAIN TAYLOR:

“It’s great to be back in boxing. I took a few years off but now I’ve got my focus back. I’ve been boxing for 22 years and I’ve never taken a break from boxing. This just woke me up. I’m just really looking forward to getting back in the ring and I’m happy I got such a great team behind me. Al Haymon has taken care of everything. It’s just a blessing to be back in boxing and to have my focus back.

 

“All my life I’ve been boxing. I just missed boxing so much. I’m working hard and I want to be world champion. It’s not  about the money now or any of that. It’s about being on top. I want to be No. 1 again. That’s the only goal now: to be No. 1 again.

 

“I had every intention of getting back in the ring. I just missed boxing. I was never worried about what was wrong with me. I know my family was concerned, but this is what I love. This is what I’ve done my whole life. It’s who I am.”

 

How has it been working again with your trainer Pat Burns?

“Working with Pat, it’s like I never left. The man is the same man that he always was. And I’m the same person. It’s just that I lost my focus. And now I’ve got him back and I have to get back on top.

 

“Everybody loves a comeback and everybody loves a comeback story. Everybody makes mistakes. That’s why I love boxing so much. You can be down and then come back and win a championship and everything is great.

 

“The thing I remember most about my biggest fights was being hungry. I didn’t really care who it was, I just wanted to be on top. I feel the same way now. I’m older now but I know how to get there. I’ve been in this position before and I feel the same way. Hard work and dedication pay off. 

 

“I’m returning to boxing to be No. 1 and to win the belts.”

 

ANDRE DIRRELL:

“A lot of people believe I wouldn’t make it as far as I did. I think I showed my world-class talent against both Carl Froch and Arthur Abraham. It showed where I stand in the sport of boxing. I’m looking forward to continuing that ride and getting back in the ring and getting back on top.”

 

What kept you out of the ring for all this time?

“Well mainly I had to get clearance from the doctor and that took three months. I was finally cleared and then after that I was looking for a TV date and unfortunately a lot of dates were taken, but Gary Shawwas able to get me on this show and I’m really thankful for that. So half and half; half of my problems outside of the ring and half of my problems after what happened in the Abraham fight.”

 

Is there any question that you’re OK to get back in the ring?

“I’ve thought about it in my workout sessions but for the most part I’ve put it out of my mind. But once I really started to work out hard and spar it really left my mind because I always just believed I would be where I’m at when I left the sport. My only concern now is putting on a good showing for the fans. I’m not too concerned about any of the problems I had after the Arthur Abraham fight.”

 

Did you watch the Ward-Froch fight and the ones that came after you dropped out?

“I watched them all, and I was excited for them all. I think Froch has improved tremendously since he fought me. Ward has definitely improved. He’s been looking awesome and pretty much pitched a shutout in each of his fights leading up to that championship fight with Froch. I was watching with anticipation and excitement because at the end of the day I still wanted my shot. For the most part it was stressful to watch. At the end of the fights, at like 12 o’clock, I’d be ready to get to the gym because I would be so anxious to get back in there. A lot of the times I would find myself in tears. Just being out for so long and knowing that you’re in your prime and knowing what you can do, so I was stressing for the most part.

 

“I was excited for every fighter, no lie. Froch was saying a lot, especially after Andre Ward got cut and he was talking about how classless it was and saying how disgraceful it was. That kind of touched me a little bit so I was pretty happy when Andre Ward beat him. I knew Andre would beat him. I wasn’t thinking that I should’ve been in that spot. It was that I could’ve been in that spot that was bothering me. But I’m not going to sit here and say that should have been me and that I regret what happened because I believe everything happens for a reason and my comeback will prove that. I’m just feeling like that could have been me, but I can’t dwell on the past.

 

“I’ve really enjoyed my career up until the injury and I’m just looking forward to getting in there and showing what I can do. I’m glad the tournament is over and that I can get back in there in 2012. I want to start the rest of my career off with a bang and finish it with a bang. I don’t plan on having any more mishaps for the rest of my career.”

 

How long will it take to get back to the level you were at before you got injured?

“Well, I think it all depends on the showing that I give on Friday. I want to have a great showing and I want to look good. I want to look excellent and I want to impress the crowd. We’ll move forward from this and hope for no more mishaps.”

 

Do you still hope to get that fight with Ward?

“Definitely. I know our time will come. I believe that’s what the fans want to see so we’ll give it to them.’’

 

(Is it true) you’ve also said you wanted to fight Lucian Bute?

“Yes, that’s accurate. He’s fought in his hometown his whole career and fought the same type of fighters. I’m not taking anything away from him. He’s an excellent fighter. He has a great uppercut and a great jab and he’s quick on his feet. But he’s fought B-minus fighters his whole career and I’m not the first to say that. It’s just my evaluation. Every fan wants to see you fight the big dog, whether it be me or someone else. Lucian Bute has a lot to prove, but everyone has a lot to prove. But he has been protected and he cannot deny it.

 

“My nerves haven’t hit me yet. Once that weigh-in kicks off and I get to see him (Cunningham) and get in his face then I’ll feel it and I’ll be ready to go. But no nerves right now.

 

“Flint, Michigan, has been on top of the game (over Detroit) ever since Thomas Hearns. We’ve been on top of every division, even the amateurs. For a guy like Cunningham to get a win against me, or even a close fight, the boxing fans of Detroit would feel awesome about it. But I’ll be ready to shut them up and show them who will come out on top after this fight.

 

“When I was 25 and 26 I knew there was a short window (to win a world title). But guys aren’t retiring now until 34, 35 years old. Look at (Floyd) Mayweather. So my time is now and I want to take advantage of it. 

 

“There are not any short-range goals for 2012; I’m just looking to get the belts. I want to go out there and I want to prove my worth and myself. I’ve had a lot on my mind since my layoff. So for 2012 I’m really just looking to prove the critics wrong. If I can get all the belts in one year then I’m going to try and get all the belts in one year. That’s how hungry I am to get the belts.”

 

On his brother Anthony fighting in the same division:

“He’s been right there with me the whole time. We just feed off each other’s energy. I think he should go after all the belts and if I’m in the way I’ll step out of the way; just change to another belt and another dream. There are lots of belts out there and more than one or two out there who have them. We’re both just looking to make a name for ourselves. If he’s winning belts and I’m winning belts then it’s all good and we’ll be like another Klitschko. I’m looking forward to all his success and I’m looking forward to mine as well.”

 

What is your ultimate goal in boxing?

“I want to have my name mentioned with the (Manny) Pacquiaos and the Mayweathers. Just chasing the titles down. I have a strong, strong desire to become the best that ever did it. As long as I keep my mind set on that I know I can reach a pretty high level. I want to make my grandfather (Leon Lawson) proud. He’s worked so hard and he’s given me so much.”

 

What do you love most about boxing?

“To just be able to travel the world and to meet new people and to become known all around the world, there’s nothing like it. Unlike MMA, in boxing it takes technique. It takes science and it takes a real will to get in there with a guy for 12 rounds and look good doing it the whole way out. I really love the competition and the adversity and the victory. It all builds your character. From a boxer’s standpoint I love it all. I just love it.”

 

JESSIE NICKLOW:

“I appreciate the opportunity. We’ve had eight weeks of preparation for this fight. I’m feeling really good and I’m on weight. If Jermain is not where he should be than I’ll be the first one to show it. I’d like to thank God for the opportunity and all he’s blessed me with. I just want to show the world on Friday night what I can do.”

 

LOU DiBELLA, Taylor’s Promoter:

“Jermain has really re-dedicated himself to this sport and gotten himself in great physical shape. He’s changed his entire lifestyle. He has seen a lot of doctors and neurologists and they have determined that he is at no greater risk than anyone else entering the ring. I’m particularly comfortable with the fact and the way he has dedicated himself to the sport of boxing and that his weight has never been an issue.

 

“He’s fighting a tough fighter in Jessie Nicklow who, to be quite honest, would not have been given much of a chance to beat Jermain Taylor in his prime. But right now Jermain is coming off his last couple fights that he wasn’t at his best. And if he’s not at his best on Friday night, then Jessie Nicklow is exactly the kind of guy that’s going to show it.”

 

How hard was it to come back to promote Jermain?

“It was a process and a lot of conversations I had with Al Haymon and knowing that Jermain had been going to some top neurologists in Arkansas and had been checking his health and well-being. Then it became clear that that was going to extend to places like the Mayo Clinic and I received a copy of the medical report from a doctor in Germany that was cc’ed to the Nevada State Athletic Commission. I had a conversation with one of the top neurologists in the world where he was asked if Jermain were his own kid, would he let him get in the ring. His response was, no, he would not let his own kid fight under any circumstance but if you’re asking if Jermain Taylor is any different than any other fighter or if there is any risk then I can’t tell you that. Based on that, I believe that Jermain is a fighter and that’s what fighters do, they fight. I am comfortable that he is OK and that we are doing this for the right reasons. We’re not getting rich by fighting Friday night.”

 

GARY SHAW, Dirrell’s Promoter:

“I always thought that Andre Dirrell was the class of the Super Six. I think he proved that with his fight against Arthur Abraham coming off a controversial loss to Carl Froch. Unfortunately he didn’t get a chance to finish off the tournament due to an injury that occurred during the Abraham fight. We’re happy to be back on SHOWTIME this coming Friday. Andre will show what he’s got and I assure you we will have a victory. Andre will show his class and hopefully after this fight we will move into a big fight on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

 

“There are plenty of belts to go around. The greatest thing is there will be two American brothers holding all the belts.

 

“I still think Andre Dirrell is the class of the 168-pound division and I think he will prove that in 2012.”

Dyah Ali Davis fighting way out of father Howard’s Shadow No. 9 rated super middleweight headlining Jan. 6 ESPN FNF in Key West

Posted on | December 28, 2011 | No Comments

BOCA RATON, Florida (December 28, 2011) – Super middleweight contender“Dangerous” Dyah Ali Davis (20-2-1, 9 KOs) is fighting his way out of the long shadow cast by his father, Howard Davis Jr., who captured a gold medal and was selected Outstanding Boxer of the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal.   Dyah had hoop dreams until realizing in high school that he wasn’t heading to the NBA. Despite his pedigree, he didn’t even think about boxing until he was 23, after watching the Lennox Lewis–Vitali Klitschko fight, which convinced him that he should become a prize fighter.   Seven years later, he’s the No. 9 rated 168-pounder by the World Boxing Council (“WBC”) and World Boxing Association (“WBA”), preparing to headline the firstESPN Friday Night Fight broadcast of 2012, January 6 in against Alfonso “The Tiger” Lopez (22-1, 17 KOs) in Key West, Florida.   Howard was one of the greatest amateur boxers of all-time. A three-time U.S. National lightweight champion, he won 125 of 130 overall matches, including the 1974 World Championships. Even more significantly, though, he was the brightest star on the fabulous USA Olympic Boxing Team, also featuring fellow gold medalists Sugar Ray Leonard, Michael and Leon Spinks, and Leo Randolph.   The only absence on his otherwise impeccable boxing resume is lack of a world title as a professional. Howard had a 36-6-1 (14 KOs) pro record in the eighties and fought three times. for the world title, losing a 1980 decision to Jim Watt in Scotland, dropping a 12-round split decision in 1984 to Edwin Rosario in Puerto Rico, and getting stopped in 1988 by James “Buddy” McGirt.   Neither father nor son, however, has ever talked about what really fuels Dyah’s desire to capture a world title. In fact, learning about his son’s reason brought Howard to tears. “Winning a world title is what I want for me and him,” Dyah said. “When I do that we can cherish it together. I don’t think either one of us will be happier or prouder than the other when that day comes.   “Ultimately, that’s why I set out to do (win a world title), what my father fell short of. I do believe he really won the fight against Rosario. My father is the uncrowned champ and I want that crown for our family. I hope to have that opportunity by the end of 2012, early 2013 at the latest. Two or three more fights but we’ll be better to gauge that timetable after my next fight.”   Dyah understands but doesn’t feel added pressure being the son of a famous boxer. “Fans expect so much from you because you are your father’s son,” he admitted, “but I don’t even think about that anymore. My father had his career and now it’s my turn. The bottom line is it’s good to know I have his support and can learn from his experiences.”   Howard was surprised when Dyah called years ago saying he wanted to become a boxer. Dyah, who now lives in Fort Lauderdale, moved from New York to South Florida in order to train with his father. Howard is a personal/boxing trainer at the famed MMA gym, America Top Team, in Coconut Creek, Florida.   “I would have been the first to tell Dyah that he didn’t have it to box,” Howard commented. “I do see a lot of me in him: heart and determination. He doesn’t quit, trains hard, and never complains. Sometimes I get a little frustrated watching him because he doesn’t see some things I see, but then I remember that he didn’t have any amateur experience at all. Dyah is very dedicated.”   Howard didn’t know his son is driven to succeed, where he failed, winning a world title. “He’s never mentioned that and I never wanted him to win a world title for me,” Howard continued. “I want him to win it for himself.   If that’s motivation for him, great, and the day he accomplishes that goal will be a blessing for both of us. I’m extremely close to my son and love him a lot. I’m very emotional and to hear this…. it’s making me cry. I’m touched by his words.”   Howard no longer trains his son, two-time world champion John David Jackson is Dyah’s chief second. He’s promoted by DiBella Entertainment and managed by EDB Sports (Elvis Crespo and Bob Pergament).   One person in Davis’ corner has a unique perspective about 30-year-old Dyah, Craig Gibson, who trained Howard for several of his pro fights. They grew-up together and remain best friends. Over the years, Gibson has worked with world champions Aaron Pryor, Mike McCallum, Riddick Bowe and Livingstone Bramble, to name a few of the more notables.   “Dyah’s got the DNA,” noted Gibson, who is Davis’ assistant trainer. “He has his father’s high intelligence and athleticism. Dyah is so gifted. He has the ability of a world-class athlete but ability and skills are different. When his ability and skill level are balanced, he will be an elite boxer and, I believe, world champion in a year or so. He’s also a classy young man, just like his father. ”   The journey continues for Dyah Ali Davis.   (Fans can follow Dyah on Twitter @dyahalidavis)
