Sam’s Town Live, Las Vegas, Nevada

Click HERE for Photos

About: After 10 rounds of non-stop action, Cameron Krael (14-13-3, 3KOs) came out on top over Jose Borrego (14-2, 12 KOs) to earn the victory. Krael’s speed and piercing power allowed him to land strong shots and counter punches to his opponent. The bout was a war from the start of the first round, as the fighters took little time to feel each other out  before getting to business, and there was no turning back. Krael and Borrego battled into the second round and continued the momentum in the rounds that followed. Both fighters threw consistent combinations and by the middle to late rounds they kept the fans on their feet. Krael’s striking punches, and combinations of body shots and jabs, began to take a toll on his opponent. The toe-to-toe action and exchanges of electrifying blows continued until the bell sounded in the 10th and final round. It was an all-out battle and judges scored the bout a majority decision in favor of Cameron “Suave” Krael.

Young unbeaten prospect, Xavier Martinez (12-0, 7KOs), was featured in  the co-main event vs. veteran contender Oscar Bravo (23-9, 11KOs) in a Super Featherweight battle. Both fighters entered the ring with explosive shots. During the 2nd round, Bravo suffered a cut over the left eye from the exchange of on target blows he received from Martinez. This didn’t stop Bravo’s determination through the rounds. Martinez picked up the momentum and continued dominating in the 3rd round and didn’t slow down. The referee stopped the fight at 2:46 into the 6th round deciding that the fighter was unable to continue, improving Martinez’ record to (12-0, 8KOs). This was the first time Bravo had been stopped in his career.

Additional action saw a super middleweight match-up between Lionell Thompson (20-5, 11KOs) and Indiana’s Derrick Findley (28-24-1, 18 KOs). This fight between two hungry and experienced fighters started off very measured with both fighters choosing their shots with caution but turned out to be a full-on brawl. The fighters got the best of one another and applied the pressure when needed. After 10-rounds of non-stop action, judges scored the bout a unanimous decision in favor of Thompson improving his record to (20-5, 11 KOs).

Philly’s Christopher Brooker (14-6, 5KOs) got his 14th victory over Lanell “KO” Bellows (18-3-2, 11KOs) by unanimous decision. Ava “The Lady of Boxing” Knight (16-2-4, 5KOs) entered the ring eager to earn a victory and did just that by defeating Nancy Franco (15-13-2, 4KOs) by unanimous decision in a 6-round action-packed bout. Maurice “Ambitous” Lee (8-1-1, 4KOs) suffered the first draw of his career after a hard-fought battle between undefeated Ivan Pandzic (8-0-1, 4 KOs).

Super middleweight, Kevin Newman made his return to the ring and improved his record to (8-1-1, 4KOs) with a second round TKO victory over Ohio native, Egerbhert Reed (4-5-1, 1KO). Jose Valenzuela (1-0) made his pro-debut in stellar fashion by earning his first professional victory by unanimous decision over Humberto Tellez (0-2) in a 4-round featherweight bout.  In the opening bout of the night, we saw prospect Sevelle Hasan (2-1, 1KO) defeat Kaywann Sistrunk (0-1-1) by technical knockout 1:10 into the third round of a 4-round super lightweight battle.

NIKE, MORE THAN APPAREL

Nike is on the rise after releasing controversial ad featuring former 49ers quarterback, Colin Kaepernick. Online sales have surged as the athletic apparel company marked its 30th anniversary of the famous “Just Do It” ad campaign.

Serena Williams, who is also part of the Nike family, recently dropped her latest ad with the company before her most recent US Open appearance. The ad featured a heartfelt touch with a voiceover provided by her dad who has played an instrumental part in her success to date.

                          PLAYER OF THE QUARTER

Record-breaking Brady should be his new name. Tom Brady is no stranger to setting and breaking records and he’s already in formation for that this season.  He recently earned his 200th career regular-season victory, most ever by a quarterback. A record he already owned, but it’s now a perfectly rounded number and huge accomplishment. He also added another notch to his illustrious career during the kick-off versus the Kansas City Chiefs in week 6. Brady has been favored for the 56th consecutive time, setting a new record for starting quarterbacks in the Super Bowl era, according to ESPN Stats & Information. He passed Kurt Warner, who was favored in 55 consecutive games from 1999 to 2003 for the “Greatest Show on Turf” St. Louis Rams teams. According to the NFLPA, the five-time Super Bowl champ sold the most licensed goods during 2017 plus he’s in the top 10 rankings for highest paid NFL athlete. We’d say Tom “Record-breaking” Brady suits him well.

Big Sur, California

The classic drive through Big Sur, along twisting Highway 1, offers plenty of pullovers at places like seen-it-in-a-million-car-commercials Bixby Bridge. Visitors can stop at parks along the coastline and look up to see endangered California condors, North America’s largest birds, or look down to scan the swells for migrating whales or sea otters floating among dense beds of kelp, California’s signature seaweed. The views are endless.

Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona, located at the Mediterranean Sea in the very north of the Spanish coast, is certainly the most cosmopolitan and economically most active city in this country. It has always proved its will to be modern, to follow the latest international tendencies, or be ahead of them. To the tourist this is evident especially in its architecture, which so well reflects the general approach to life in this always pulsating city. Barcelona has an old history, and there are monuments of Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance periods, but most characteristic is what has been built during the last, say, 100 years.

Tulum, Mexico

Featured Trainer: Calvin Ford

Calvin Ford is known for being the head trainer to Mayweather Promotions’ own, 2x world champion, Gervonta “Tank” Davis and has played an intricate role in the development of many professional and upcoming fighters in the blighted neighborhoods of Baltimore. We caught up with Ford who shared his experiences with us from starting the Upton Boxing Center, to becoming a trainer of rising champions & how he disciplines his fighters, ways he supports the youth in the community, and what his current goals are.

How long have you been a trainer in the sport of boxing, and what led you to pursue this career path?

I’ve been a trainer since 1997 and what led me to pursue this career is a lot of the youth in Baltimore took a liking to me. I’ve been and continue to be like a father figure to a lot of them. I’ve done a lot of things with the youth and tried to look out for them. I work for Parks & Recreation, where I run the boxing gym in the center, which is the biggest boxing facility in the city. There are other programs at the center for the youth that have special needs such as providing food & clothing, offering help to those who have anger management problems, and assistance to those suffering from other social issues.  I’m a teacher, counselor, and trainer for the youth. The gym has an annual membership fee of $65/year to make it affordable for those that want to join.

What fighters (professional and amateur) do you currently train?

Professional fighters that I train are Gervonta Davis, Teresa Douglas, Cashus Chaney, Demetrius Allen, Demar Nicholson, Malik Hawkins, Sepha Mccullen, and Colby Madison. I have about 40-50 amateurs that I currently train that are at different levels and age brackets. I have multiple fighters at the elite level of the amateurs.

How did your relationship with 2x world champion, Gervonta “Tank” Davis, come about

His uncle brought him to the gym at 5 years old. My son used to train him and he used to tell me all the time, “Man that kid is a fighter.” After some time, my son went back to live in Jersey and that’s how I started working with Gervonta. He was just always with me to stay out of trouble. I always looked out for him, even when he did something bad I was always in his corner. This has been the case since he was 7 years old. That’s how long he’s been with me.

What is the biggest discipline that you feel a fighter must have?

A fighter must have discipline and loyalty. Discipline means that you are capable of getting up and doing what you are supposed to do to get the job done. That applies to everything in life. That’s how I look at it. You have to be able to get up and pursue your goals every day. Loyalty to the people that are in your corner: your mom, your dad, grandmother, grandfather, siblings, uncles, aunts, people that you work with every day that are pushing you to succeed your goals is also a must.

What is your biggest motivation as a trainer?

My biggest motivation is getting results, working with fighters that believe in themselves and their team, and everybody doing their job. I don’t like to micro-manage people. If you are in charge of a specific thing I expect for you to do your best. I expect my fighters to work harder than me.

What is your biggest challenge as a trainer?

Keeping the fighters straight, especially in the city of Baltimore. I call it, “The Whispers,” the street calling that doesn’t allow you to pursue the discipline.

What is the ultimate goal with every fighter you work with?

The ultimate goal is help them reach their goals. Everybody is not going to be a world champion. I value where they are, and believe anything can happen. I give them hope because someone gave me a second chance and hope. I believe that if you give a person an opportunity and watch their actions and deeds, you can see if they really believe it.

What does a training day with Calvin Ford look like?

If you’re familiar with Karate movies, it’s never the same thing every day because the situations in the ring are never the same. It’s set with doing the cardio, the stretching, and the boxing. I try to mix it up because sometimes the body is really tricky and some times you have high days and other times you have low days. It also is based on being in the gym on time consistently. When I train regular people that come into the gym I train them with the same routine as if they were a fighter.

Do you have any advice for anyone looking to pursue a career as a boxing trainer?

It’s just like planning to go to college. My advice for them is to really look at every aspect of what you are looking for at a boxing gym. Make sure to see their success rates, look at their systems to assess if they have a system in place to actually get you where you’re trying to go in life.

When you can spend some time away from the gym, what are your favorite leisure activities?

Everything I do is based on boxing. Outside of boxing I like meeting new people, those that are doing positive things in the city and that have the same passion that I do while learning more from them to better myself. I also like to spend time with my boxing family. Everything I do revolves around boxing unless I am with my kids. They don’t like boxing because they say I do it too much, so when I’m with them I can’t do anything boxing or talk about boxing things; I have to be on their time.

Fan Feature

This section is dedicated to showing appreciation to our fans near and far, as they show their continued support by consistently filling the stands of our live events, engaging with us on our social media channels, and visiting the website frequently for updates and merchandise purchases. We have selected 3 individuals who would like to share with the world which fighter is their favorite and why. As they share their experiences below, pay close attention as you may learn a few things about your favorite Mayweather Promotions fighter.

                    Michelle Johnson

It’s very rare that a family member enters to be featured, but this time around we got a proud mom that wants to let the world know why she’s her son’s biggest fan. Michelle Johnson is the mother of Lanell “KO” Bellows, a rising super middleweight who signed with Mayweather Promotions six years ago and was recently crowned champion by the American Boxing Federation USA. 32 years ago, Mrs. Johnson was awarded the “God-given opportunity to be Lanell’s mother” and has since had the privilege of raising him and watching him grown into a man of value. She’s his number one fan and is proud to be his “momma.”  Read on to learn why Mrs. Johnson is one very proud momma as Lanell’s biggest fan, and how her son is her biggest inspiration.

Which was your favorite Lanell Bellows fight, and why?

The fight that stands out the most was when Lanell fought Marcus Upshaw. Lanell fought like a true warrior; he was knocked down but got back up. Lanell then put Upshaw on the canvas and rose up like a gladiator, making sure he did what was necessary to win. I was on the sideline praying and cheering him on to victory.

In what ways do you or have you supported Lanell Bellows?

I have been supporting Lanell since the day he was born. I give him all my love and affection because I want him to know he matters. I support Lanell by praying for him daily, working to instill in him the morals he should live by, listening to him when he needs an ear, and providing feedback regarding his career. I am also there for him during training camp and I’m the lady you’ll hear cheering Lanell on at every fight. In general, I will always be here for him and his family.

What skill does Lanell Bellows possess that is his biggest weapon in the ring?

Lanell fears no opponent. He has the heart to get in the ring with anyone, and that’s what keeps him going. Lanell’s also motivated by his children; he wants to leave a legacy for them, showing that if you believe in Christ and believe in yourself, hard work pays off and you can accomplish your goals.

What is it like being the mother to a fighter (Lanell Bellows)?

Being the mom of a boxer has its good and bad moments. I truly believe in him and I’m proud of what he has already accomplished, but I know he is in a dangerous sport. As his mom, I continuously give advice and motivation, pray, and I want him to know that I’ll be here as his biggest supporter as long as God gives me breath. Parenting has no expiration date; I’m his mom for life.

In what ways has Lanell Bellows inspired you?

Lanell has been through some very tough battles in life and has always pulled through. He’s had to withstand adversity; I know many could not endure what he’s been through but Lanell keeps going. Things are not always easy or happy, but he continues moving forward for himself and his children. Lanell is mature beyond his age, even as a child we would talk and have profound conversations. In these ways he has inspired me to keep living because life has so much to offer and is only what you make it. He’s a man of valor, integrity, and he’s full of hope and faith that things will work out.

Are there any intriguing questions that you have been wanting to ask Lanell Bellows, but haven’t had the chance or have kept them to yourself? 

I’d love to ask him if the things I’ve taught him in life have helped, and if so, how.

Questions that I have for my son include:

*How has being a praying mom helped him get through tough times?

*How does he see himself as a man (father, brother, cousin, friend) to others?

*If he could change anything in his life what would it be and why?

*What would he say to convince someone that life is worth living in spite of the circumstances or situation they may be experiencing?

What accomplishments and future successes do you see for Lanell Bellows?

Lanell recently reached a new level when he became the American Boxing Federation USA Super Middleweight Champion. Some may say this accomplishment is small, but he reached a new level in the sport, and I hope this is the first of many. I believe it is in God’s plan for Lanell to see more championship belts in the future, and use his platform to become a motivational speaker in attempt to help others in the world one day at a time. We never know what the future holds but I do know that God’s timing is best.

Can you tell us what a typical day with Lanell is like? Describe in detail any advice, words of encouragement or gratitude that you regularly share with him. 

A typical day in our household is filled with love and laughter. Our family motto is F.O.E (Family Over Everything) so naturally we spend a lot of time together. We greet each other every morning with hugs and kisses as a sign of respect; I call Lanell “champ” and he considers me his “Queen”. Together, we work to get the children (his children, nieces, and nephews) off to school. Lanell then hits the gym with his brother Marcele and goes for a dreaded run afterward. When the children have returned from school, we go over chores and homework.  As a family, Lanell, his siblings, and I enjoy telling stories and having family time before preparing dinner. Lanell will help in many ways but cooking is not his forte. Every night, Lanell prays with his children before he puts them to bed and they cap the night with their secret handshake.

Can you share with us one fun fact or story about Lanell that his fans would be interested in?

We have Lanell on videotape attempting to take an ice bath. In the video, Lanell is shivering and constantly talking about how cold the temperature is. The look on his face was priceless! Suddenly Lanell starts saying he can’t breathe, but he’s definitely breathing. If you can’t already tell, Lanell doesn’t like the cold. Maybe we will be able to convince him to take another ice bath in the future.

                   Mubiru Caffrey

Mubiru Caffrey of Beijing, China is a fan of boxing and enjoys fighters based out of the Mayweather Boxing Club, most notably Sharif Bogere. Outside of their love for the sport, both Caffrey and Bogere also share a Ugandan heritage. Learn more about why Mubiru has chosen Sharif has his favorite boxer and why he considers himself Sharif’s biggest fan.

Tell us how you first got introduced to Sharif Bogere and how long have you been a fan.

I’ve been a fan of Sharif Bogere for about 10 years now. He’s a good boxer and trains in the legendary Mayweather Boxing Club, has a very touching story, and naturally he’s Ugandan so word of his success has traveled over the years.

Which was your favorite Sharif Bogere fight, and why?

My favorite Sharif Bogere fight is when he faced Julian Rodriguez back in 2010. He knocked Rodriguez out in less than 2 minutes of the second round. Sharif showed that he was in attack mode like a lion, fearless, and swift with his footwork.

In what ways do you or have you supported Sharif Bogere?

I’ve supported Bogere in many ways like telling my friends and others in sports media who Sharif Bogere is and what he’s accomplished. I tell the story of a young boy who had a hard time in his early years growing up and now is represented by the best promotional company and boxing gym there is, Mayweather Promotions and the Mayweather Boxing Club. I also support Sharif through social media by liking his posts on Instagram, joining his live chats, watching him box, plus purchasing his brand of merchandise.

What skill does Sharif Bogere possess that is his biggest weapon in the ring?

Sharif is fearless, fast, and very agile. Once he starts throwing punches he never stops.

What makes you the biggest Sharif Bogere fan?

Sharif and I share the same background, so not only can I appreciate his boxing skills, but I can also understand his outlook on life because we’ve experienced many similar situations. As a result, I feel like I know him well and that makes me his biggest fan.

In what ways has Sharif Bogere inspired you?

Sharif inspires me to strive for greatness and continue representing Uganda in a positive way by making great strides and achievements in my life.

What is the most intriguing question you would ask Sharif if you were given the opportunity to speak to him/her?

I would ask Sharif what his greatest inspiration is and what he plans on doing when he hangs the gloves up.

What accomplishments and future successes do you see for Sharif Bogere?

I see additional wins coming his way, most notably one that will make Sharif the Lightweight Champion of the world.

If you could spend the day with Sharif, describe in detail what the day would be like and any advice, words of encouragement, or gratitude, that you would share with him/her.

If I were to spend a day with Sharif Bogere, we would do a lot of catching up. We would start the day by speaking the native language and visiting where he grew up. I would advise him to keep fighting and never stop because he has a lot of potential and I would also thank him for taking Uganda to another level in boxing.

                Jahfari Bernard

Jahfari Bernard has known his favorite boxer, Richardson Hitchins, for years. Together, these friends from Brooklyn have been making a name for themselves and chasing greatness. Jahfari is as 22-year-old recording artist that enjoys spending time with his 1-year old daughter. Read on to discover how Jahfari and Richardson met, and how proud he is of his best friend’s accomplishments.

Tell us how you first got introduced to Richardson Hitchins and how long have you been a fan.

Richardson and I go back to our childhood days. We’re still close friends even though our hectic schedules don’t always allow us to spend time together. In fact, Richardson is my daughter’s godfather.

Which was your favorite Richardson Hitchins fight, and why?

I personally enjoyed Richardson’s performances in the Olympics as well as his professional debut against Mario Navarro. Both opportunities have been stepping stones in his career. To be known as an Olympian and represent your Haitian heritage while doing what you love on such a large stage was such a big moment for him. By the time he made it to his first pro fight, everyone knew his name and anticipated his debut. He looked comfortable in the ring versus Navarro and he used the big stage to garner new fans when he TKO’d him in the first round.

In what ways do you or have you supported Richardson Hitchins?

Prior to every fight I post on social media to inform friends and locals that Richardson will be fighting on the undercard of a mega fight. I also attend fights when my schedule allows.

What skill does Richardson Hitchins possess that is his biggest weapon in the ring?

I believe that Richardson’s ring IQ is very high, and it will carry him a long way in boxing. I also love how aware he is of his surroundings; it’s as if he can determine what move his opponent will make next.

What makes you the biggest Richardson Hitchins fan?

I’ve been there since day 1 of Richardson’s career. I remember the day that he told me he was going to Atlas Cops and Kids gym. After a month or so of consistent participation from Richardson, I knew then that he would be a star and would eventually make his mark in the sport. He decided at that moment what he wanted for his life without any convincing of family or friends, and I’ve been supporting Richardson in every way since.

In what ways has Richardson Hitchins inspired you?

Richardson inspires me with his work ethic. He eats, sleeps, and breathes boxing 24/7 so it’s become a lifestyle for him. Richardson has also inspired me to make something of myself because he’s living proof that you can start with nothing and still be great at something, even when the odds are against you.

What accomplishments and future successes do you see for Richardson?

One day Richardson Hitchins will become an undefeated champion and a superstar in the sport of boxing. Outside the ring, I can see him building gyms in the community because it was those centers that we both can credit for keeping us out of trouble.

What do you and Richardson like to do when you have a chance to spend the day together? Describe in detail any advice, words of encouragement or gratitude that you regularly share with him. 

We love music, fashion, and sports, so when we have the chance to spend the day together we could go to a concert, attend a game or fight, and/or shop. I would encourage him to stay focused and use where we came from as fuel to never return. I would want Richardson to keep the love for the sport that he came in with because it’s what has made him who he is today.
