Rob Brant

This is a loaded month for boxing and it all starts Saturday night. Full fight line-up as it stands. This card features some really nice match-ups… Rob Brant (4,0) is stepping up his competition in facing Romon Barber (3,2) who won his last fight after losing a tough fought battle with Corey Rodriguez…. Another nice fight is Jamal James (8,0) vs Patrick Boozer (5,1). James is coming off his biggest victory to date in defeating Rodriguez and considered by most as Minnesota’s boxer of the year for 2012. Brad Heroff (1,0) vs Zach Wolff (0,2) should be fun and go all 4. The nights most interesting and exciting fight just might be Tyler Hultin (3,1,1) vs Stephen Watt (1,0). Hultin is coming off his first defeat and entering for the first time at a more natural and lower weight of 154. Watt’s only boxing match was a first round KO of durable Silas Ortley… Expect fireworks in this one. The main event features hard hitting Ismail Muwendo (11,0) vs Anthony Napunyi (14,11). Muwendo has yet to be tested and Napunyi is coming off a 7 fight losing streak, and hasn’t tasted victory since 2008. Here is MinnesotaBoxing.com’s story on Saturday’s event.

Jesse Kelley did another nice write-up on Jamal James / Boozer fight, MinnesotaBoxing.com.

SEG and Fight Area 51 Present “Pound4Pound2″ January 5

Here is the bout list for January 5th’s event. More details as they come, this is the most recent list, boxrec has yet to be updated to reflect these changes. While this card may lack in star power it wont lack in action or rounds… Look for more details as well as interviews with some of the combatants as the fights approach..

Tyler Hultin (3,1,1) vs Stephen Watt (1,0) 154lbs 5 rounds…. This should be a good one. Hultin is coming off of his first defeat. As usual, he was in the fight of the night but on the losing end of the decision. The loss could be a blessing in disguise as the size difference was huge in his last fight. Watt’s only fight was a first round stoppage of Silas Ortley. Hultin too has fought Ortley winning by way of UD… Look for fireworks and another good chance of fight of the night in this one.

Jonathon Perez (4,0) vs Brian Jones (0,4) weight? 4 rounds….Perez is a skilled fighter and can bring some excitement, and three of Jones losses have come by stoppage, this one has KO of the night written all over it.

Brad Heroff (1,0) vs Zach Wolff (0,2) weight? 4 rounds…. Heroff won his first fight by wide UD, Wolff’s two losses  were to Patraw and Jake Backus. This is another fight that could be interesting, I think we may see some high action here..

Brad Patraw (9,4) vs Robert DaLuz (13,43) weight? rounds?…. Patraw is coming off victory and injury. Bad Brad showed toughness as he won his last fight while finishing things off with a broken hand. Last we saw DaLuz he was stopped by Sharp Shooter Muwendo in the 4th. Records aside, this could steal the show…

Robert Brant (4,0) vs Romon Barber (3,2) weight? 6 rounds…. Brant is really good…lol, last we saw Barber was when he faced Corey Rodriguez losing by way of UD. In his last fight he won a split decision against a (2,0) fighter… The problem here is, Brant is really good… three of his four wins have come by stoppage, two of those in the first round.

Jamal James (8,0) vs Patrick Boozer (5,1) 147lbs 6 rounds…. James is coming off the biggest win of his young career. We don’t know much on Boozer, but he is coming off his first loss in his first step up in competition, losing by way of UD in a 6 rounder. I’d expect Boozer to bring all he has to get back to his winning ways. Jamal James is one of the states best at welter and I think this could be a fun one.

Ismail Muwendo (11,0) vs TBD…. Muwendo has one punch knock out power, and lets face it, thats always fun…

Then there were two. September 15 and September 22….

UPDATE: THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELED. September 29, Too much to talk about in news and notes. There will be a ton of time dedicated to this show. On paper, I have not seen a better card top to bottom since I have been following MN boxing. So far, there is not a fight on there that isnt worth your time. Again all the sanctioned title fights and big local match-ups. Word on the street is Mr Al Sands and team are ready step up opponents after rebuilding some confidence. Again, much more when all details are firmed up.

News and notes from what we know about upcoming regional pro boxing dates.

Posted on by

While much is still unknown. We will try and fill in some gaps as to the regional cards coming up over the next 8 weeks.

Robert Brant

August 25, Crown Plaza, Saint Paul MN, SEG/Driller Promotions…….

Aaron “Gorilla” Green (6,0) Heavyweight, Ismail Muwendo (9,0), Jamal James (6,0) and more. The Boxrec on this card is incorrect so I am just giving our highlights. We also always love watching Corey Rodriguez go. Rodriguez was to fight Faulk in what we had pegged as fight of the night. That fell off, but CRod is still on and thats always a good thing. We hope to do a little piece on Mr. Green in the next few days.

 

September 15, Wessman Arena, Superior WI, T-Rex Promotions….

This show will Main Event RJ “T-Rex” Laase. Also featured on the card are; Robert “Bravo” Brant, Joey “The Don” Lorenzi, Winston “Nasty Time” Anderson, Dustin “Bull Dog” Mason. Much of this card is contracted but the promotion plans to release bout list once more firm. Looking to be an 8 fight card.

 

September 22, Crown Plaza, Saint Paul MN, RDS Promotions…..

Antonio Johnson, Donny “Drama” Tierney, and more. Have heard some pretty cool rumors, but will wait for more news from the promoter.

 

September 29, The Aldrich Arena, Maplewood MN, Joy Boy Promotions…..

Have not received much information from promotion. Have heard two WBA sanctioned belts will be on the line. Word is Cerresso Fort, and Jason Litzau will each be fighting in the main and co main. We have been told to wait on their PR team to address further fights. We will provide more info as it comes.

Dustin “Bull Dog” Mason, Ready to get in the ring September 15?

Posted on by

Just got off the phone with Mason, who is coming back from a broken hand that required surgery and a few pins. Bull Dog says he is ready and wanting to fight on T-Rex Promotions upcoming September 15 show. This event is already featuring, RJ “T-Laase” Laase, Robert “Bravo” Brant, Joey “The Don” Lorenzi among others. The redheaded bomber cant express how hungry he is to drop bombs after missing out on his fight with “Bad” Brad Patraw after Mason’s hand injury during camp.

RJ "T-Rex" Laase

With several events on the horizon regionally, RJ Laase had several opportunities presented him. Team T-Rex was very close to getting some stay-busy work on S.E.G.’s and Driller Promotions August 25 show, but due to risk of injury and other factors Laase and team have decided to wait on a soon to be announced date  where he will have the opportunity to headline. RJ would like to thank S.E.G and Driller Promotions for offering the opportunity to be a part of their exciting card. And you can bet he will be there cheering on the action as some of the state’s top talent go head to head. Again, be sure to talk to your favorite fighter on the card and get your tickets now. I believe they can also be bought on S.E.G.’s website. August 25, Crown Plaza Ballroom, Saint Paul MN: Aaron Green (6,0) rising heavyweight star, Robert Brant (1,0) one of the top amateurs to come out of MN in some time, Ismail Muwendo (9,0) one of the most talented 130 pounders in region, plus much more. We are really looking forward to Corey Rodriguez vs Michael Faulk. Again, only 4 weeks out, get your tickets now…

News and notes from around MN

The Minnesota boxing community lost long-time coach, friend and mentor Larry Goodman this past week. He had a huge influence on countless amateurs and will be missed by all. Pros Kenny Kost, Dustin Mason and Robert Brant all had ties and learned from Mr. Goodman.

August 25 is the next date to see live pro boxing in Minnesota. S.E.G. and Driller Promotions brings boxing back to Saint Paul at the Crown Plaza Hotel and Ballroom. Aaron “Gorilla” Green (6,0), Ismail “Sharp Shooter” Muwendo (9,0), Robert Brant (1,0), Corey Rodriguez (5,1,2) vs Michael Faulk (2,2) and much more…

There are a couple rumored September shows as well as October. We will let you know as things tighten up. Cerresso Fort has said he will be fighting in Saint Paul September 29…

Vicente Alfaro’s name has been heating up in talks of multiple fights, will keep you posted as things tighten up.

Andy “Kaos” Kolle (25,3) and Dustin “Bull Dog” Mason (3,0) are both on the mend and working their way back towards the ring. Each could be ready for action as early as October.
