News and Notes from Minnesota and the Super-Shows…

Posted on by

Verbal barbs have begone to be slung by Caleb Truax (20,1,1) and Matt Vanda (44,14) as their showdown approaches… They fight January 19 at the Minneapolis Convention Center at 165 pounds…

Things seemed to start heating up when Truax said in a video podcast that he expects to to finish off Matt Vanda before the 8th round of their fight, even saying he’d be disappointed if he didn’t finish off Vanda before the final bell.

Those comments may have spurned on Vanda’s FB post….

Matt Vanda… ” I gotta spar 12 rounds today. I’m kicking your mother$%#^& ass on the 19th. You know who you are. You’re &%$#@ delusional thinking your gonna beat me…”

Following came some back and forth as both men are in fight mode… Follow MNBoxingLeague on Twitter. and MNBoxingLeague on Facebook.

Former NFL player and Viking, Ray Edwards has been added to an already stacked January 25 card… Andy “Kaos” Kolle (25,3) and Cerresso Fort (14,0,1) have been working their butts off through this past holiday season and continue to. Fort is in Vegas getting top notch sparring and working Mayweather Sr., in his prep for his toughest test to date.. Kaos Kolle and coach Jason Hendrickson have been putting the miles in traveling all over MN and ND getting work done! Aaron Green and RJ Laase are fighting their stiffest competition to date on this card as well.

Word is that Robert Brant’s hand was not as bad as thought after his fight Saturday, and he will be fighting Feb 9 in Saint Paul. More on this card in the coming days and weeks.

Also February 9, in Fargo ND, it looks like Tyler “The Hitman” Hultin will get his first main event and first showing as a pro near home. Much more on this in the coming days..

With all the shows coming in January and February there has been a lot of news, but always changing… We are sorry for the delay in getting information up, but want to be as close to accurate as possible, with boxing, that is not easy…Follow MNBoxingLeague on Twitter. and MNBoxingLeague on Facebook. Here is what we know as of today….

December 19, TJ Gibson (1,3) is set to fight another undefeated giant, 260lb Jarrell Miller (3,0) in New York, interesting news given his possible state title match-up with Al Sands at cruiser, more on that later…

Javontae Starks (5,0) is set to return to the ring in January…. Once he gets rolling with fights he will be one to watch at welter and light middle…

January will be a huge month for Minnesota boxing with cards set for the 5th, 19th, and 25th…

January 5, SEG/Area 51, This card features some of Minnesota’s most promising young talent… Robert Brant, Ismail Muwendo, Tyler Hultin, Jamal James, and more… We expect to get full line-up and bout sheet soon….

January 19, Omega Presents, Caleb Truax (20,1,1) vs Matt Vanda (44,14)….. This is a fight fans have talked about for a couple years now. These two know each other well. In the past they have been stable-mates, shared trainers, and have sparred hundreds of rounds together… Now they face off in what is said to be Vanda’s last fight… Can it get much better… More to come on who will be on undercard and ticketing… update, tickets should go on sale today, www.ofights.com

January 25, RDS Boxing, Andy Kolle (25,3) vs Cerresso Fort (14,0,1) This one has fans abuzz, Kolle is coming off of quite a lay-off and broken hand. During that time Fort beat then undefeated Dave Peterson by MD and just fought Brandon Baue, getting a UD victory.. Kolle is ranked #1 at light middle in Minnesota and Fort #2…. This fight is set at 154lbs… Also slated to be on this card are Aaron “Gorilla” Green (8,0) rising Minnesota star and RJ “T-Rex” Laase (9,1) the number ranked welter in Minnesota… Much more on this card in the coming days as well as ticketing…

February has three shows being talked about…

February 9 in Saint Paul is said to have Al Sands (6,1) vs TJ Gibson (1,3) for the MN’s cruiser title. They are ranked 1 and 2 respectively with Sands only loss coming to Gibson by way of stoppage… Interestingly that is the only time Gibson has been given the opportunity to fight at his natural weight, all his losses come at heavy and most against guys weighing 250lbs plus… He is doing that again in just a couple weeks and depending on outcome could affect if this fight happens or not..

Also in February, there have been rumors of a Jungle Boy Boxing show February 1, and a show in Fargo ND…..

We will do our best to keep up with all that is coming up, and hopefully get interviews and full line-ups as these events approach….

Perez steals the show! Nice night of fights for SEG / Driller Promotions Pro Boxing.

Posted on by

You know a show is pretty good when only complaint is that there may have been too many fights. The show got a bit of a late start but once the action got going it was a very well-matched and fun card to watch.

“Bad” Brad Patraw fought an exciting fight putting Sanders down a number of times in the process. MinnesotaBoxing.com is reporting that Patraw broke his hand in this fight.

Cory Rodriguez got a UD win, Meier vs Benson may have been fight of the night and a ended in a draw. Perez is a star in the making, his second round KO of Philip Adyaka was action packed and impressive, also in running for fight of the night.

Sands (5,1), Green (7,0), and James (7,0) did what they had to, given the opponents put in front of them. Sands fought a debut MMA guy and James had an (0,1) guy, in SEG’s defense both were last minute replacements and Sands opponent was actually a step up from who they were supposed to face. And again, credit goes to Green,Sands, and James for finishing things off early with their overmatched foes.

Ismail Muwendo vs Robert Da Luz was the main. Da Luz is now on a 15 fight losing streak. Muwendo had all four rounds in my opinion but Da Luz came to fight for a couple rounds. Calling him a gate keeper may be a stretch as he didnt come with his own corner and that gate must be wide open as 15 in row have run through it. That said, Muwendo showed all the reason’s we like him. Sharp shots and big power. He is huge at that weight.

All in, hats off to SEG for one of the more entertaining nights of boxing this year. For full coverage and pictures, check out MinnesotaBoxing.com latter today. My opinions come from live stream. Have two sick kids. Listened to Caleb Truax and Dan Cole’s blow by blow. Truax has some great input on the ins and outs of the game both in and out of the ring. He also was very honest in his thoughts on some of the pretty records without learning a ton. Really good hearing that from him. Truax has taken one of the best roads to his position, almost always stepping up competition with each fight. Most in the midwest could learn from that approach. Just my two.
