Former world champion Alejandro Berrio Back on right track fighting for Boxing 360

Former world champion Alejandro Berrio Back on right track fighting for Boxing 360

NEW YORK – Former IBF super middleweight champion Alejandro “Naco” Berrio, the Colombian power puncher now living in New Jersey and fighting for Boxing 360, fought last Saturday night for the first time in North American since losing his title in 2007.

Berrio (32-5, 29 KOs), who has won his last six fights, stopped 3-time world title challenger Antwun “Kid Dynamite” Echols (32-16-4, 28 KOs) in the third round of their fight in Grand Island, Nebraska.

“We believe Alejandro Berrio can become world champion once again,” Boxing 360 Founder and CEO Mario Yagobi said. “This was the next step for him on his way back to the top. We want to keep him busy and move him into a world title shot position.”

Berrio’s most notable victories came against previously unbeaten and present WBO titlist Robert Stieglitz four years ago by third-round TKO for Stieglitz’ IBF belt, and then 22-0-2 Yusaf Mack – fighting Otis Griffin March 4 in an IBF light heavyweight elimination bout — who Alejandro put to sleep in the sixth round nearly five years ago. Berrio also sent 2-time world title challenger Syd Vanderpool into retirement via a ninth-round stoppage in 2005.

UFC LIVE EVENT ON VERSUS IN LOUISVILLE ON MARCH 3 TO BE BROADCAST IN 3D

UFC LIVE EVENT ON VERSUS IN LOUISVILLE ON MARCH 3 TO BE BROADCAST IN 3D

Marks the First UFC Event to Ever Air in 3D

New York, N.Y. – The Ultimate Fighting Championship and VERSUS announced today that the UFC event airing this Thursday, March 3, will be broadcast in 3D for the first-time ever. The highly-anticipated card, which is headlined by a welterweight clash between Diego Sanchez and Martin Kampmann, emanates from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky. and will air live at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

The 3D telecast, produced by VERSUS with the UFC and sponsored by Comcast Xfinity, will feature a separate 3D production crew and equipment from the traditional HD production. The telecast will also include a separate announce team, as veteran play-by-play voice Todd Harris will team up with UFC featherweight star Kenny Florian to call all of the night’s action.

Multiple 3D cameras will be placed strategically around the Octagon®, giving viewers access to some new camera angles not usually seen during previous UFC 2D telecasts.  The 3D telecast will be made available live to those with 3D-capable television sets through dedicated 3D channels on affiliates across the country, including Comcast’s 24-hour, Next Generation Xfinity 3D channel.

“We’re really excited to start broadcasting UFC events in 3D,” UFC President Dana White said. “UFC is ahead of the curve when it comes to introducing new technology and we think UFC fans will really enjoy seeing fights in 3D.”

Oscar de la Hoya, and up and coming professional fighters Adrien Broner, Danny Jacobs and Seth Mitchell

WHEN: Winter 2011

WHERE: Middle East

(Note. Due to security reasons, the countries and tour dates cannot be released at this time.)

WHY: Gearing up for his first USO/Armed Forces Entertainment tour is one

of boxing’s most decorated stars, Olympic gold medalist and former 10-time world champion, in six weight divisions, Oscar de la Hoya. De La Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions, will be joined on the week-long USO tour by Golden Boy Promotions fighters-undefeated lightweight Adrien Broner (Cincinnati, OH), heralded middleweight Danny Jacobs (Brooklyn, NY) and undefeated heavyweight Seth Mitchell (Brandywine, MD).

Quotes From Adamek – McBride 2/24 Press Conference

Quotes From Adamek – McBride (2/24 Press Conference)

Kathy Duva. Main Events, CEO:  “April 9th is an important fight for both fighters: in Kevin McBride’s case this is a great opportunity for him; in Tomasz’s case he has a great opportunity ahead of him in Poland where he has an offer to fight one of the Klitschko brothers in September. But Tomasz does not like to be idle.”

“That brings us to Kevin McBride: he is a big man: he is 6″6″; he is very wide; and very tall; and that is the kind of opponent Tomasz needs to face in order to prepare for the bigger challenge if he is successful. There are other people who have faced Kevin and not been so successful; most notably, Mike Tyson. As we know, Kevin is the man who effectively ended Mike Tyson’s career. So Tomasz, Main Events and everybody with him, knows what a big challenge this is, not to be taken lightly.”

Doug Jacobs, Integrated Sports, PPV :”It’s a bargain at $29.95 for pay-per-view. I know there’s another Golden Boy/HBO fight that night that’s $45 dollars, but I have no doubt that our show is going to be so much more exciting and a better value for you in today’s economic times. In every show we’ve done here at Prudential Center,with Tomasz Adamek, the atmosphere has been fantastic! The atmosphere comes through well on TV, and the under card matches have come through fantastic. It’s always an exciting event.”
