Rodrigues Living The American Dream!

This Saturday night at the Turning Stone Casino and Resort, undefeated Middleweight prospect, Isaac Rodriguez will look to capture the WBC/USNBC championship when he tussles with Samuel Miller in a twelve round main event that will highlight a seven bout card.

Rodrigues of Brazil moved to the city of Belem at the age of seventeen where he took up boxing. Unlike most boys in the South American country, Rodrigues has no aspirations of being a soccer star.

Rodrigues has an uncle who was a boxer and that facilitated him, towards the sport and he amassed a amateur record of 51-4.

Rodrigues was inspired by Brazilian mega-star Acelino “Popo” Freitas and his uncle had a relationship with famed trainer Oscar Suarez, who ironically trained Freitas and the connection was made for Rodrigues to further his career in the United States.

Rodrigues won his first eight professional bouts in his native Brazil before making his American debut on April 28, 2007 on the undercard of Freitas unification showdown with Juan Diaz.

“There are not of experienced fighters in Brazil”, said Rodrigues

“I have learned a lot from every fight and fighter that I see”, continued Rodrigues, who describes his style as a fan friendly boxer/counter-puncher.

Rodrigues won three straight in the United States before heading back to Brazil

Just months after Rodrigues won the WBO Latino championship, unfortunately for Rodriguez, Suarez passed away.

Luckily Rodrigues had a strong team behind him as Suarez’ wife Marie took over reigns as the manager.

“I have been around the sport for twenty-three years doing everything in the background”, said Marie Suarez.

“I understand the business. If I were a fighter, I would be a world champion”

“I know that Isaac is world championship material and we feel that we have a very sellable product. He is a very good kid and extremely humble and we believe he has what it takes to go all the way.”

New trainer Francisco Guzman has been brought in to work with Rodrigues and the soon to be twenty-six year old continues to get better every day.

Working with Marie Suarez is long time and respected boxing man, Dave Escalet.

“This is a big fight to see where Isaac fits in the middleweight division”, Said Escalet

“With the new trainer, we are taking this one fight at a time and we think that by the end of 2011, Isaac will be ready for anybody in the top-ten”

When Rodrigues is not training, he spends his time in his adopted home of West Berlin, New Jersey where he likes to cook, play cards and watch American Football.

Kennedy Stops Becerra in AC!

By John Wall (ringside)

Another night of pro boxing at Bally’s Hotel Casino, another top notch Peltz Boxing card, and another packed house in Atlantic City with the North American Boxing Association (NABA) Super Bantamweight Title up for grabs.

In the main event Philadelphia’s Teon “The Technician” Kennedy (16-0-1 6KOs) took on Alex “El Diablo” Becerra (20-9 9 KOs) out of El Paso, Texas for the vacated NABA title. The IBF #6 ranked Kennedy dominated right from the start with effective counterpunching and a defense Becerra could not find a way around. The young man from Philadelphia almost ended the bout in the second when he staggered his opponent with a right hand in round 2.

Round 5 saw The Technician taking command of the fight, he could not miss with the jab and scored effective power shots with both hands that had the gutty Texan reeling and caused notable swelling over both eyes. At the end of the tenth round, veteran referee Steve Smoger had seen enough and called it a night.

Hasson Tops Speller

The night’s co main event featured two Super Middleweight combatants from the fighting city of Philadelphia, Dennis “The Assassin “ Hasson (11-0 4 Kos) and Tommie “Big Papa” Speller (5-5 3 Kos) both fighters sported beards in the ring reminding me of a ZZ Top concert
.
After suffering a cut over the left eye in round 1, Hasson turned this into another one sided event, pounding combinations to Big Papa’s midsection. Speller’s facial expressions’ made it clear to anyone in attendance that he does not like getting hit to the body.
The Assassin scored at will in the later rounds and almost ended the fight with a right hand in round 6 before cruising to a unanimous decision win.


DeJesus draws with Hurd

Julio DeJesus (4-2-1 3 KOs) out of Franklinville, NJ and Linwood Hurd (2-2-4) of Atlantic City gave the fans a great show in a 4 round junior welterweight bout. In an action packed classic toe-to-toe battle they slugged it out in the center of the ring. One judge had it 40-36 in favor of DeJesus while the other two saw it 38-38 for the majority draw.

Wiggins stuns Sosa

In the upset of the evening Treysean Wiggins (2-0 2KOs) of Newburg, NY, stunned the crowd when the Southpaw sent Camden, NJ resident Jason Sosa (3-1-1 1 KO) to the canvas twice in the first round before sealing the deal with a crushing left hand. Referee Ricardo Vera stopped the contest at 2:02 of round 1.

Green decisions Beaton

In a clash of Jersey Shore lefthanders, Chris “Smooth Operator” Green (4-2 1 KO) sent greetings from Asbury Park to Toms River, New Jersey’s and native of Guyana Deroy Beaton in the form of a 39-37 unanimous decision on all three cards in the lightweight battle. Green used every bit of the 24 foot ring to potshot and move confounding Deroy who was unable to mount an offence.

Brown bests Hackett

In the opener, another all Philadelphia contest, Super Middleweights Gregg Hackett (0-3) won the early intimidation battle but lost the war to Rashad Brown making his professional début.

Hackett was saved by the bell as the newcomer had him laying on the ropes and looking vulnerable when time ended in the second round and seemed to save most of his aggression for between round jawing with the rookie Brown.

Rashad was unfazed by Hackett’s antics and won a 40-36 unanimous decision.

Maicelo to face Cuero!

GSFS was notified that North Bergen based Peruvian Jonathan Maicelo will face hard hitting Colombian Oscar Cuero October 16 in Union City.

Maicelo, 13-0 (8 KO's), is a newcomer to the area and will be fighting in the Garden State for the first time. The current WBC Latino Lightweight champion is a huge draw in his native Peru.

Cuero has a solid 13-2 pro record with 10 wins by KO. One of his two defeats came at the hands of title contender Fidel Munoz.

"We needed a tough fight (to show the American fans) Maicelo's talent," said Manager Nelson Fernandez.

Appearing on the undercard will be two of Fernandez' other unbeaten prospects in Carlos "Mina" Zambrano and Juan "JZ" Zegarra, both of North Bergen via Peru.

Paterson cruiserweight Elvin "KoKo" Sanchez will look to get back on track following his first loss when he takes on Philadelphia's Pedro Martinez, while hard hitting Union City native Juan Rodriguez and Newark's Angel Conception will battle opponents TBA.

The card is being promoted by Mike Indri's Dignity Promotions.

Baldwin Tops Shelton with a Comical KO!

Newark junior middleweight Thomas Baldwin improved to 2-0-1 (1 KO) after scoring an embarrassing third round knockout of Rameil Shelton. Baldwin beat his opponent to the punch during the first two rounds, which led up to one of the most humorous endings ever.

In the third, Shelton literally turned away from Baldwin to shout an expletive at a ringside heckler. His moronic decision to let the crowd get in his head was a major no no. Before he could continue his verbal assault, Baldwin shut his lights out with a huge right hand.

Time of stoppage was 1:50.

“I was completely in shock (to see him do that),” Baldwin said after his victory. “Of course I was going to take advantage, but it was only a matter of time (until the fight ended) anyways.”

Shelton heads back to Providence, RI at 0-2 following the humiliating defeat.

Kennedy-Becerra Preview!

By John Wall

Teon “The Technician” Kennedy (15-0-1 6 KOs) of North Philadelphia looks to improve on his undefeated record while Alex “The Diablo” Becerra (20-8 9 KO’s) out of the West Texas town of El Paso will try to regain the form that propelled him to a 17-2 pro start as they headline this Saturday’s card from Bally’s Grand Ballroom in Atlantic City.

The scheduled 12 rounder for the vacant NABA title will cap a 7 bout card that begins at 7:30 and can be seen worldwide on gofightlive.tv.

Kennedy, ranked sixth in the world by The International Boxing Federation (IBF), is no stranger to Bally’s. The 2004 National Golden Gloves Champion has victories over Lucian Gonzalez and Jose Angel Berranza and drew with Lante Addy at the same venue where he will lace up Saturday evening. The scrappy Philadelphian also holds The
United States Boxing Association (USBA) super bantamweight title.

The card also features two more sons of the City of Brotherly Love, Dennis Hasson (10-0 3) and Tommie Speller (5-4 3 KOs), who square in the 8 round super middleweight co-feature.

In what some people think is the best match up of the evening, Ronald Cruz (9-0 6KOs) of Bethlehem, PA takes on Dillet Fredrick (7-3-3 4KOs) out of Fort Meyers, FL in a 6 round light welterweight matchup.

New Jerseyans Chris Green of Asbury Park and meets Toms Rivers’ Deroy Beaton in a four round lightweight contest, while Atlantic City’s very own Linwood Hurd battles Millville’s Julio Dejesus. Camden’s Jason Sosa is also appearing on the card.

New Jerseyans Stuff October 8 Philly Card!

A number of Garden State fighters will appear on the October 8 card at the Arena in Philadelphia, PA.

In the ten round main event, former title contender Mike Arnaoutis of Atlantic City will battle unbeaten and well regarded hometown favorite Danny "Swift" Garcia of Philadelphia.

Arnaoutis, 22-6-2 (10 KO's), has seen better days, dropping four of his last five, including three that weren't particularly competitive. In his last bout, Arnaoutis lost a near shut out decision to fellow Kendall Holt conqueror Demetrius Hopkins.

Garcia, 18-0 (12 KO's), is one of Golden Boy Promotions' top prospects. The former amateur standout is fighting in Philadelphia for just the third time and has stopped his last two opponents.

Garcia-Arnaoutis will take place in the welterweight division.

Brian Green of Vineland, 5-3 (3 KO's), will look to overcome a one year layoff and two straight losses when he takes on the always entertaining Victor Vazquez, 11-4-1 (6 KO's), of Philadelphia in a six rounder. The bout is taking place in the lightweight division.

Super Featherweights Jason Sosa of Camden (3-0-1, 1 KO) and Wanzell Ellison (2-0, 2 KO's) of Newark will square off over four rounds for statewide bragging rights.

Middleweight Alex Sanchez, 1-1 (1 KO), of Camden also matches up against Philadelphia's Joe Dunn (0-1).

The card will air on Telefutura and tickets are available by calling 215-364-9000 or 215 271-4263.

Harris Plans To Fight On!

Despite a disastrous stretch, former world champion “Vicious” Vivian Harris of Carlstadt isn’t ready to hang up the gloves just yet.

Harris, 29-5-1 (19 KO’s), was on the wrong end of a third round knockout to Victor Ortiz Saturday night in Los Angeles, CA as part of an HBO pay per view telecast. Against the well regarded Ortiz, Harris got dropped four times and was unable to work his way back into the fight.

Prior to that, Harris, who was once considered an elite junior welterweight, lost a controversial fourth round TKO to Lucas Matthysse. To make matters even worse, the Matthysse fight was preceded by a scary no contest against Noe Bolanos in 2009, where he left the ring on a stretcher following a grotesque clash of heads.

While Harris has been sent to the hospital after two of his last three fights and is without notable victory since 2007, he refutes any assertion that he is going to call it quits.

“People just like to talk and they don’t know boxing,” exclaimed the always animated Harris. “This is a dirty and crazy sport. I was forced to fight (at or) around 140 and I can’t make that weight anymore. I am going to continue as a full fledged welterweight and you will never see me fight below (147 pounds) again!”

He also cites the contract weight for the Ortiz fight as a major issue.

“We tried to make it at 144 lbs, give or take a pound, but his people said no.” “They wanted to call this a welterweight fight, but (if that was the case) than why couldn’t I (fight at the) weight I wanted to? I am not trying to take away anything from his victory he did what he had to do, but (the issue over the weight) is complete bulls**t.”

Although he was also stopped in the two aforementioned fights and to Junior Witter via one punch knockout in 2007, Harris believes his punch resistance will only improve in his new weight class.

“I will be stronger at welterweight” I had to lose a good amount of to make 140 and it drained me. I (spar) with heavier guys and taking their punches (has never been) a problem.”

Upon completing his mandated suspension for the knockout loss, the former WBA champion, who is still under contract with Golden Boy Promotions, will actively seek fights with a notable welterweight.

Harris Stopped in Three!

Carlstadt's Vivian Harris was stopped in the third round by Victor Ortiz last night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA.

In the battle of fighters dubbed as "Vicious", Ortiz dominated the bout, dropping Harris three times in round two and once in round three before the contest was stopped at 45 seconds of the very same round.

Ortiz, of Ventura, CA improves to 28-2-1 (22 KO's). Harris, who may consider retirement following a rough stretch, drops to 29-5-1 with 19 KO's.

The bout aired as part of the Shane Mosley-Sergio Mora headlined pay per view.

Diaz-Lucero headlines October 30 in AC!

According to Promoter John Lynch of Pound 4 Pound Promotions, super bantamweight phenom Jorge "King" Diaz of New Brunswick will headline Saturday, October 30 from Bally's in AC against former world title challenger Emmanuel Lucero.

Diaz is becoming a familiar face amongst local fight fans, scoring impressive victories over 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist Yan Barthelemy and rugged Korean Jae Sung Lee amongst others.

Although he has fought just once since 2007, the Bronx, NY based Lucero will be Diaz' most experience foe to date.

Passaic's Glen Tapia was slated to take on rugged veteran Edvan Barros last night in Las Vegas, NV, but the bout was scrapped due to a scheduling issue.

Tapia had a solid training camp and was ready to go however, the cancellation of another card prompted promoter Top Rank to put some of their fighters under contact on last night's show, which forced them to can the Tapia-Barros fight.

Luckily for Tapia, his hard work and dedication to training wasn't wasted. Tapia informed GSFS that he is leaving for Los Angeles this evening to spar with pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao leading up to his November 13 bout with Antonio Margarito.

The former amateur standout, who previously served as a sparring partner for Miguel Cotto, views everything that happened as a blessing.

"I am excited to get this opportunity to train with one of the greatest in the world," said Tapia. "I am going to learn a lot from him and this will be a great step towards bettering my career."

Tapia is also thrilled to share the squared circle with a fighter he admires and strives to model himself after.

"I am a big fan of (Pacquiao) and I really like the intensity he fights with because he goes in there to give the fans a show, beat his opponents up and knock them out. I like to do the same so working with him will make me better at what I do."

Tapia's next fight will take place October 30 in AC against an opponent TBA.

“I thought I had won that fight easy, and afterwards I decided to take some time off to evaluate where my career was going” said Torres. “Now I’m back in the gym, and I’m putting the 140lb division on notice that I’m back.”

One Punch Productions President Terry J. Trekas was equally excited with the acquisition of Torres.

Seldon Featured in "One Night in Vegas"

On September 7, 1996, Tyson stopped Seldon in the first round of their WBA-WBC unification and Shakur was shot shortly thereafter while heading to a post fight party at Club 662. He ultimately died six days later.

Seldon spoke on the Tyson fight and what it was like fighting the most feared man of his era.
