Auguran que la defensa del campeón del peso mínimo puertorriqueño el 16 de junio en el Coliseo de Puerto Rico será uno repleto de acción

Por: Carlos Narváez, El Vocero –

El campeón minimosca de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB), Ángel “Tito” Acosta, comenzó el lunes a calentar los motores de cara a su importante primera defensa del próximo 16 de junio en el Coliseo de Puerto Rico.

Acosta, quien según el propio presidente de la OMB, Francisco “Paco” Valcárcel podría enfrentar una dura, difícil y larga noche cuando enfrente al nicaragüense Carlos Buitrago, advirtió a su rival de turno que llegará en las mejores condiciones para asegurar de que se marche de la Isla con las manos vacías.

Buitrago no estuvo presente durante el anuncio oficial del combate y en su lugar, envió un mensaje grabado en el que aseguró llegará preparado e inspirado en su mayor ejemplo -el extriple campeón mundial Alexis Argüello- para desbancar al boricua en el evento denominado La Batalla.

“Estuve hace unos días en Nicaragua”, comentó Valcárcel. “Conozco a Buitrago y debo decir que después de Kosei Tanaka (ante quien Acosta sucumbió en su primera oportunidad titular), Buitrago será el rival más duro que haya enfrentado en su carrera. Será una pelea muy dura y Acosta tendrá que estar bien preparado. Podría ser incluso una larga noche”, sostuvo el líder de la OMB.

Buitrago, que tiene marca de 30-3-1 y 17 nocáuts, perdió el pasado 31 de diciembre ante el Japonés Hiroto Kyoguchi en un choque en el que falló en su intento por agenciarse el título paja de la Federación Internacional de Boxeo (FIB).

“Sé que Acosta es un campeón mundial y lo dará todo, pero yo llegaré inspirado en mi máximo maestro, Alexis Argüello, con el objetivo de lograr mi sueño de ser campeón del mundo”, sostuvo.

Acosta, que viene de hacerse campeón del mundo el pasado mes de diciembre en Nueva York, y que además tiene récord de 17-1 y 17 nocáuts, no tardó en enviar un mensaje de potencia a su retador.

“Que siga soñando porque conmigo no se hará campeón mundial. No le quito méritos a Buitrago pero el 16 de junio será mi noche. No me intimida. Lo veo como cualquier boxeador aunque dicen que es más fuerte que Jafet Uutoni y Kosei Tanaka. Pero el subirá en el mismo peso de 108 libras y nosotros trabajaremos fuerte para hacer que ese título permanezca aquí”, apuntó.

In the first world title fight of 2018, WBO #2 jr featherweight Isaac Dogboe (18-0, 12 KOs) stopped WBO #1 Cesar “Corazon” Juarez (25-6, 15 KOs) in round five to claim the vacant WBO interim title on Saturday night at the Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra, Ghana. Dogboe dropped Juarez in round two, and battered him for the remaining two minutes. Juarez recovered well and round three was toe-to-toe. Juarez was floored again in round five. He beat the count, but was in bad shape and the bout was stopped by referee Tony Weeks. Time was 2:12.

Dogboe is now in line to face the WBO’s full champion Jessie Magdaleno, who had to pull out of a fight against Juarez due to a wrist injury. “Jessie Magdaleno, I’m coming for you!” said a jubilant Dogboe after the fight.

Ali dethrones Cotto, seizes WBO 154lb title

Puerto Rican boxing legend Miguel Cotto (41-6, 33 KOs) came up short in his final Saturday night in front of 12,391 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Former Olympian Sadam Ali (27-1, 14 KOs) scored a twelve round unanimous decision over Cotto to take Cotta’s WBO junior middleweight world title by scores of 115-113, 116-112, 115-113.

Both fighters started cautiously, testing each other with the jab in effort to see what lay ahead the next possible 12 rounds. Ali wobbled Cotto in the 2nd with a stunning straight right but seconds later went down via a slip to kill any momentum he may have had. The 3rd brought back and forth action from both fighters leading to intelligent exchanges and a more dominant Cotto round. Ali then turned the tables on Cotto in the 4th, landing overhand right hooks that stopped Cotto in his tracks and building his confidence. Round 6 saw Cotto deliver a right hook that sent Ali flying to the ropes, reminding the younger fighter whose goodbye party it was.

The later rounds become closer affairs as both fighters began slowing down and were able to better time their punches, some landing flush yet still nothing significant between the two to separate them on points. The 10th round brought out another of Ali’s finest rounds as he shocked Cotto with a lunging left hook that backed him up and continued to apply an assault with no response from Cotto. The 12th round saw a reemergence for Cotto which may have saved the day given how close some of the rounds had been.

WBO received this request by email:

Dear President Valcarcel,

On behalf of Top Rank and Oleksandr Gvozdyk, we respectfully request that the WBO designate Mr. Gvozdyk, its current No. 1 ranked light heavyweight, as the mandatory challenger for the light heavyweight world title.

We are copying Mr. Gvozdyk’s manager Egis Klimas on the message to confirm.

Very truly yours,

Bob Arum

Sadam Ali: Cotto is coming to MY territory

Jr Middleweight title challenger Sadam “World Kid” Ali (25-1, 14 KOs) hosted a media workout at his gym in Brooklyn ahead of his fight against WBO world junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (41-5, 33 KOs) set for this Saturday at Madison Square Garden. “I’m really excited to be fighting at MSG against a legend. I know what’s in front of me, and I know what I’m stepping up to. I’m different. I’m a bit of a boxer. I can brawl if I need to. And I have my little tricks.

“My motivation is being on HBO, it being a world title, and my career honestly. People say I didn’t deserve this fight, but they haven’t been paying attention to my career. This is my hometown. I grew up here. Cotto is coming to my territory…he’s got power. I need to focus on not getting stuck. I worked a little bit with Danny Jacobs and Curtis Stevens for this fight…I want to thank all the fans who are coming to watch my fight! It’ll be a great one!” Juridiska svenska kasinon låter dig spela med bankid .

By Miguel Rivera

IBF, IBO, WBC, WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) is hoping to fight at least three to four times per year.

Because of drawn out negotiations, Golovkin has only fought twice twice per year in 2016 and 2017. Prior to that, he was fighting three to four times a year.

In 2017, he won a very close twelve round unanimous over Daniel Jacobs in March at New York’s Madison Square Garden, and then came back in September to fight to a twelve round split draw with Saul “Canelo” Alvarez at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

There are ongoing discussions for Golovkin to face Canelo in a rematch on May 5th, likely at T-Mobile. Both sides are on board with the fight, but right now it’s all about the financial terms coming together.

Last month, Canelo was officially  made the mandatory challenger to Golovkin’s WBC title. The next fighter in line for a crack at that belt is undefeated contender Jermall Charlo.

If that rematch falls through, then Golovkin would like to unify all of the middleweight belts – and there is only one remaining, the WBO title.

Next month, WBO champion Billy Joe Saunders will travel to Canada to defend his title against former IBF champion David Lemieux. Golovkin stopped Lemieux two years ago to pick up the IBF strap.

Saunders has already made it clear that if he beats Lemieux, then the next fight he wants would be Golovkin – unless GGG was defeated by Canelo.

“I would love to fight three or four times a year but I know it’s difficult. If Canelo does not want the fight, then obviously I would love to unify. I can not put pressure on the WBO champion but if he wants I will be willing because my dream is to have all the titles,” Golovkin said to ESPN Deportes.

Top Rank announced its next two main events late Thursday night in its new partnership with ESPN.

The basic-cable network will air a super featherweight title bout between champion Vasyl Lomachenko and Miguel Marriaga on August 5. Two weeks later, ESPN will broadcast a full 140-pound championship unification fight that’ll match Terence Crawford against Julius Indongo.

Ukraine’s Lomachenko (8-1, 6 KOs), who owns the WBO 130-pound championship, and Colombia’s Marriaga (25-2, 21 KOs) will square off at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Crawford (31-0, 22 KOs), the WBC/WBO super lightweight champion, will encounter Namibia’s Indongo (22-0, 11 KOs), the IBF/IBO/WBA 140-pound champion, at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska, about a one-hour drive from Crawford’s hometown of Omaha.

Lomachenko and Crawford are generally regarded as two of the top five boxers, pound-for-pound, in the sport.

While facing Indongo represents a shot a full unification for the highly skilled Crawford, Lomachenko’s opponent is coming off a loss. Mexico’s Oscar Valdez (22-0, 19 KOs), the WBO featherweight champion, defeated Marriaga by unanimous decision in their 12-round fight April 22 at StubHub Center in Carson, California.

“Pound for pound, no one can match the talent of Vasyl Lomachenko and Terence Crawford,” Top Rank president Todd duBoef told ESPN.com. “They drew the best ratings on premium cable this year [HBO], and now everyone will be able to see them when they defend their world titles in all-action fights in August, live on ESPN.

” Crawford and Lomachenko have become two of the most-watched fighters in bouts broadcast by HBO over the past couple years, but ESPN is available in millions more homes than HBO.

ESPN’s partnership with Bob Arum’s Top Rank will officially begin Saturday night, when the network will televise the Manny Pacquiao-Jeff Horn welterweight title fight from Brisbane, Australia, Horn’s hometown.

Their scheduled 12-round fight for Pacquiao’s WBO welterweight title will take place Sunday afternoon in Brisbane, where a crowd of 60,000 is expected at Suncorp Stadium, but it will air Saturday night in the United States at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

Las únicas campeonas mundiales en la actualidad de Puerto Rico, Amanda y Cindy Serrano de Carolina, donaron al Museo del Deporte de Puerto Rico, ubicado en el pueblo de Guaynabo, importantes hazañas históricas para el deleite de los futuros visitantes del concurrido complejo.

Luego de defender con éxito su título mundial de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo ( OMB ) en la división de las 126 libras, tras vencer a la mexicana Paola ‘La Fiera’ Torres por decisión unánime, el pasado sábado en Aguas Buenas, Cindy Serrano donará el uniforme que utilizó para la pelea, el cual fue en honor al legendario pelotero carolinense, Roberto Clemente.

El combate Serrano-Torres fue el primero en la historia del boxeo profesional de Puerto Rico, donde una mujer puertorriqueña defendió su título mundial en la pelea estelar.

“Rendirle homenaje a Roberto Clemente en mi primera defensa de título mundial era algo que no podía dejar pasar. Los años siguen pasando y el legado de Clemente sigue vivo, intacto. Sus historias dentro y fuera del parque de pelota son muchas e inspiradoras. Honor a quien honor merece. Mi deseo es que los jóvenes y demás personas que visiten el museo sepan que no importa el deporte, siempre habrá unidad porque representamos a un pais con todo el esfuerzo y corazón”, dijo Cindy Serrano.

Por su parte, Amanda, donó su recién ganada correa mundial OMB de la categoría de las 118 libras, la cual obtuvo el pasado mes de abril en Nueva York, cuando derrotó a la ex campeona mundial Dahiana Santana en combate que fue la pelea estelar por Showtime Extreme.

Con la victoria, Amanda se convirtió en la primera mujer y puertorriqueña(o) en lograr campeonatos mundiales en cinco categorías de peso.

“Con mucho cariño y felicidad, el Museo del Deporte ya tiene el último título mundial que gané el pasado 2 de abril y no hay muchas palabras para describir el privilegio y sentimiento que siento al saber que futuras generaciones sabrán de nuestras metas en el boxeo femenino. Tengo mucha fé de que me convertiré en campeona mundial de seis divisiones y cuando eso suceda, el título va para el museo”, dijo Amanda Serrano.

Luego de empatar la marca de Miguel Cotto, al convertirse en campeona mundial de cuatro categorías de peso por un puertorriqueño(a), Amanda Serrano ( 31-1-1, 23 KO ) de Carolina, buscará reinar en una quinta división, cuando se enfrente a la dos veces campeona mundial, Dahiana Santana ( 35-8, 14 KO ) de la República Dominicana en histórico duelo que será por la correa vacante mundial de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo ( OMB ) de las 118 libras.

Serrano-Santana tomará forma el sábado, 22 de abril desde el Barclay Center en Brooklyn, Nueva York y tendrá transmisión por Showtime Extreme.

El promotor de Serrano, Lou DiBella dijo que “estoy contento porque Amanda estará peleando de nuevo por Showtime. Ella merece todo esto que le está pasando. Ella no es solo una de las mejores boxeadoras del mundo, sino que yo he promovido a grandes peleadores en toda mi carrera y ella está al mismo nivel ó mas arriba que ellos”.

“Estoy lista desde hace tiempo para seguir buscando retos en diferentes pesos”, dijo Amanda Serrano,”Mi objetivo es Dahiana Santana y le doy las gracias a ella por aceptar la pelea. Ella es bien incómoda, viene a pelear y quiere traerle gloria a República Dominicana y la respeto por eso, pero mis ganas de seguir poniendo el nombre de Puerto Rico en alto, son más grandes”.

“Mi intención, al igual que la intención de mi equipo de trabajo era pelear con Sabrina Pérez, pero ella decidió dejar vacante el título para no pelear conmigo. Considero su movida como una muy mala para el boxeo femenino y para los fanáticos que siempre nos piden peleas de unificación”, dijo Amanda Serrano, quien en su última presentación en el mes de enero, derrotó por decisión unánime a las dos veces campeona mundial, Yazmin ‘Rusita’ Rivas de México.

“Yo estoy en este deporte para ganar. Si algún día, le tengo miedo a alguna boxeadora de mi división, creo que lo mejor es dedicarme a otra cosa, retirarme. Sabrina fue campeona mundial de las 122 libras y cuando fui a esa división, ella dejó el título vacante al momento de enterarse que yo venía y me tuve que enfrentar a otra oponente ( Alexandra Lazar ) y ahora que ella estuvo haciendo campaña en las 118 libras, sucede exactamente lo mismo. Esto es como un chiste de mal gusto, pero no nos quita el enfoque para esta pelea”, exclamó Serrano.

De Serrano salir con la victoria, se convertirá en la primera boxeadora profesional en lograr ser campeona mundial de cinco divisiones de peso y tendrá la mayor cantidad de divisiones ganadas en el boxeo profesional de Puerto Rico.

“Solo el hecho de estar en la lista de los campeones mundiales boricuas junto con mi hermana Cindy es algo muy grande. Todos los días, mi hermana y yo entrenamos fuerte porque nos queremos mantener como campeonas por mucho tiempo. Queremos que los boricuas se sientan orgullosos de nosotras”.

Por su parte, Dahiana Santana de Santo Domingo, ha sido campeona mundial de las 126 libras en la Federación Internacional de Boxeo y la Asociación Mundial de Boxeo, esta última como campeona mundial Interina.

La boricua asegura que las boxeadoras argentinas no la quieren enfrentar

La boxeadora boricua Amanda Serrano (31-1-1 y 23 KO), arremetió contra las argentinas Sabrina Pérez, futura rival, y Alejandra Oliveras.

Luego de vencer por decisión unánime a la campeona mundial de dos divisiones, Yazmin Rivas, de México, para retener el título mundial de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB) en la categoría de las 122 libras, Serrano busca ahora bajar a la división de las 118 libras para retar a la actual campeona de ese organismo, Sabrina “La Muñequita” Pérez (16-0-1 y 2 KO), de Argentina.

“Sabrina fue campeona mundial (OMB) de las 122 libras al mismo tiempo que yo era campeona de las 126 libras. Cuando ella supo de mi interés de bajar a las 122 libras, rápido ella se fue a las 118 libras”, dijo Serrano.

Agregó que “ahora que ella está en las 118 libras y yo quiero ese título, ella no aparece. Creo que ella es una muñequita como se hace llamar, pero con ruedas y por eso se puede escapar. Ella y su equipo saben que estoy dispuesta a viajar nuevamente para Argentina. Ya quisiera que esto fuera como el boxeo de hombres, porque así me pagarían como le han pagado a Golovkin por no querer enfrentarlo”.

En agosto de 2014, la boxeadora puertorriqueña viajó a Argentina, donde se coronó campeona mundial de la OMB en la categoría de las 135 libras, al vencer por nocaut en el sexto asalto a María Maderna, quien llevaba tres defensas exitosas del título.

Por otra parte, la boxeadora argentina Alejandra Oliveras, una campeona mundial de cuatro divisiones al igual que Serrano, estará regresando al cuadrilátero el 8 de abril en Argentina, luego de un año y nueve meses de inactividad.

Oliveras tiene programado pelear por la vacante correa mundial del organismo no reconocido con sede en Argentina llamado WPC (World Pugilism Commission), ante la mexicana Lesly “Explosiva” Morales.

WBO Kids Drug Free visits Panama and Colombia

Once again the WBO is proud to have had the opportunity to contribute through the Kids Drug Free program in different countries across the world. This time we visited Panama and Colombia to contribute with exemplary organizations that work every day to make a difference in the lives of many children.

Round 1: San José de Malambo Orphanage

As promised in January of this year, the WBO revisited this past Monday, March 6th, the San José de Malambo Orphanage in Panama, a non-governmental organization that looks out for children and teens in vulnerability conditions, this time with the purpose of donating backpacks that the children need to attend school.

Education is an important tool to keep children away from the streets; we sincerely admire the work done by the Sisters that run this institution and that give children here love, attention, and a chance of a better life.

Round 2: FUNVIVIR

Our next stop on Tuesday, March 7th, was in Cartagena, Colombia, where we were received by the dedicated personnel of FUNVIVIR, a non-profit organization founded in 2006 with the purpose of assisting children battling cancer and their families who have limited resources and many necessities that become more evident when dealing with the illness and undergoing treatment. The WBO had already visited this institution back in March of 2016.

The donation was given at the Bernardo Caraballo Coliseum. This organization was picked in life by our friend and colleague Luis Pérez, who recently passed away victim of cancer; this made the activity much more meaningful for all of us.

All children battling cancer are true fighters, especially when they are faced with limitations and difficult financial realities; the WBO congratulates FUNVIVIR for their wonderful work and joins them in their noble mission to alleviate the immediate needs of these young fighters

KUMAMOTO, JAPAN
WBO#1 minimum Moises Calleros (25-6-1, 14 KOs) from Mexico arrived yesterday (Monday) in Kumamoto City, Japan, where he will dispute the interim WBO 105-pound championship with local prospect Tatsuya Fukuhara (18-4-6, 7 KOs) on this coming Sunday.

In the begining, the Japan Boxing Commission (JBC) won’t accept an Interim Title bout to take place here in Japan, but the legitimate WBO champ Katsunari Takayama had his notorious scar tissues operated last year and needs more time for recovery, so the Calleros-Fukuhara interim title bout received a special permission of the JBC.

The lefty fighter from Japan, Fukuhara acquired the vacant national 105-pound belt by defeating Hiroya Yamamoto in November 2015 and kept his belt three times by beating Takumi Sakae (W10), Genki Hanai (TKO7) and being held to a technical draw with veteran Shin Ono.

Calleros, with the same age as Fukuhara at 27, recently scored five victories in a row since his KO defeat at the hand of Samuel Gutierrez in 2014. The winner is supposed to have a long-anticipated shot at the full champ Takayama upon his recuperation, the WBO has put the time of a 180 days for the Interim Champion faces the WBO Minimumweight Champion Katsunari Takayama.

Como parte del programa “Niños libres de drogas” que se han puesto en marcha en varios países, la Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB) entregó este jueves donativos a dos casas hogar en el Estado de México y en la Ciudad de México.

Rafael López Santos, miembro del Comité Ejecutivo Mundial de la OMB y en representación del presidente del organismo, Francisco Valcárcel, entregó los donativos, de cuatro mil 500 dólares cada uno, para un total de nueve mil billetes verdes.

Durante su segunda visita del día, en la casa hogar “La Divina Providencia” del Padre Chinchachoma, en la colonia Álamos de la capital del país, se recordó a Luis Pérez, del Comité de Clasificaciones de la OMB y que falleció en diciembre pasado.

Estuvieron presentes pugilistas como César Juárez, Moisés Fuentes y Carlos “Fino” Ruiz, quienes convivieron algunos minutos con los niños de la casa hogar, en la que se da total apoyo a niños de la calle, maltratados o en riesgo social.

“Para la OMB es un privilegio acompañarlos”, dijo Rafael López a nombre de “Paquito” Valcárcel, y destacó que gracias al esfuerzo de los pugilistas sobre el ring se obtienen los donativos que entregan en diversos países, como Puerto Rico, Colombia, Nicaragua “y también llegamos a México, aquí estamos presentes”.

“Estamos felices de convivir, es un orgullo que existan este tipo de instituciones, hay que aplaudir su esfuerzo para sacar adelante a los jovencitos”, dijo Juarez, abogado de profesión y que también tiene una maestría.

Por su parte, “Moi” Fuentes pidió a los pequeños esforzarse para lograr sus objetivos, “desde pequeño tuve un sueño, la esperanza muere al último y si le echan ganas a la vida sí se puede. Ningún sueño es grande y ningún soñador es pequeño”, comentó el excampeón mundial.

Alba Garrido, directora administrativa de la casa hogar que fundó en 1979 Alejandro García Durán, mejor conocido como el “Padre Chinchachoma”, fue la encargada de recibir el cheque simbólico junto a los pugilistas, López Santos y algunos niños ahí presentes.

Al mediodía acudieron a la casa hogar “La Divina Providencia” de la Madre Inés, en San Vicente Chicoloapan, Estado de México, donde también entregaron el mismo donativo y convivieron con los niños.
