Posted by: Boxing Clever on 7/28/2015 .




Bounce TV today announced a seasoned line-up of on-air sports talent for the debut of its new monthly series Premier Boxing Champions - The Next Round beginning this Sunday, August 2 at 9:00 p.m. (ET), which will also be streamed live on BounceTV.com. Fred Hickman will anchor PBC - The Next Round as host, Fran Charles will call the blow-by-blow action ringside joined by former Super Welterweight World Champion Austin "No Doubt" Trout, who will provide insight and analysis.

The main event for the series premiere of PBC - The Next Round will be a 12-round Bantamweight World Championship fight between Juan Carlos "Baby Pacquiao" Payano (16-0, 8 KOs) and Rau'shee "Nuke" Warren (13-0, 4 KOs). Both fighters are Olympians - Payano for the Dominican Republic and Cincinnati southpaw Warren, a three-time Olympian for the United States. Each fighter brings an undefeated record to the battle for the title.


"Fred and Fran combine for more than 50 years of major sports event coverage and Austin will help put viewers in the ring with his current and fresh perspective. We are thrilled to assemble such an impressive and talented team of announcers for our Premier Boxing Champions debut," commented Ryan Glover, President of Bounce TV.

Hickman spent nearly 20 years with CNN Sports where he co-hosted the country's original daily sports-highlights show CNN Sports Tonight. He also served as an anchor for CNN/Sports Illustrated, a host for both NBA and NFL pre-game shows, a co-host of the 1992 and 1994 Winter Olympic Games and a co-host of the 1994 Goodwill Games. Hickman moved to ESPN in 2004, appearing on flagship shows such as SportsCenter, Baseball Tonight, NBA Shootaround, and NBA Coast to Coast and he has also hosted pre-and post-game shows for the YES Network.

Charles was also the host of the weekly golf show, PGA Tour Sunday on USA Network, serving as lead anchor for studio segments during PGA Tour events. Charles currently serves as a host and reporter for MLB Network.


In 2004, Trout won the U.S. National Amateur Welterweight Championship and after climbing up the ranks as an elite boxer, he won a Super Welterweight World Championship in 2004 by defeating Rigoberto Alvarez. He went on to defend that title four times, including a dominant victory over Miguel Cotto in New York. He is currently on a three-fight win streak as he works towards another world title opportunity.


The co-feature Sunday night is a two-fight tournament in the junior middleweight division: A 10-round match that sees Olympic Silver Medalist Yudel Jhonson (17-1, 9 KOs) taking on the knockout machine Jorge Cota (24-1, 22 KOs), plus 10 rounds of Olympian John Jackson (19-2, 15 KOs) battling Dennis Laurente (49-5, 30 KOs).

Rau’Shee Warren Gets Another Shot at Gold

Posted by: Cliff Rold on 7/30/2015 .



By Cliff Rold

There is only one fighter to grace three US Olympic teams.

The same fighter is the only US boxer ever to exit the Olympics three times in his first fight. 28-year old Rau’Shee Warren (13-0, 4 KO) won his share of accolades over the years. Flyweight Bronze medals at the 2005 and 2011 World Championships bookended a Gold medal in 2007. For some reason, the Olympics just didn’t work out.

Warren was only 17 the first time through, losing to eventual Gold Medalist Zou Shiming in what everyone could chalk up to a learning experience. One-point losses in each of his next two appearances were heartbreaking and head scratching.


This Sunday, Warren has a chance to put that all behind him and he has twelve rounds without amateur scoring to get it done. Making a big step up in competition, Warren challenges WBA Bantamweight titlist 31-year old Dominican Juan Carlos Payano (16-0, 8 KO) in a Sunday prime time affair (Bounce TV, 9 PM EST/6 PM PST).

Win and Warren will be the first African-American titlist at 118 lbs. since Tim Austin had a nice run as IBF champion from 1997-20003. Adding something to the storyline, Warren and Austin are both from Cincinnati.


This being the PBC, which doesn’t seem much interested in geography, they won’t be fighting anywhere near Ohio. Instead, they will lock horns at the arena made famous among wrestling nerds by WWE’s excellent “NXT” show, Full Sail University. Payano fights out of Miami, so perhaps that is the thinking.

Maybe a ‘this is awesome’ chant will break out?

It’s an intriguing fight on paper either way. Payano is the more experienced professional of the two, though neither has yet been twelve rounds. A development win over veteran Luis Maldonado and a title win, shortened to six by a cut, over the outstanding Anselmo Moreno give Payano some ring maturity. Payano’s aggression and punching power make him dangerous for a fighter who saw far better in the unpaid ranks than he has yet as a professional.

Warren hasn’t faced anything approaching a contender yet. He hasn’t shown how he handles adversity against a legitimate threat or how his lack of power can be offset by skill against the same. He’s jumping straight from prospect fare to a guy with some chops. Maybe his handlers have that much faith in their guy. Maybe they don’t know what they’re doing.

Or, and this might be closest to reality, Warren’s age and the weight class he fights in means expediting him to try to make some money. 28 isn’t old for a fighter but at Bantamweight it isn’t young and three Olympics means a lot of miles already tallied. We’re seeing a lot of guys with excellent amateur runs get moved fast right now. Artur Beterbiev, Vasyl Lomachenko, and Naoya Inoue are all fast track talents.

Warren is another in the trend.


Inactivity could be an issue for Payano, who hasn’t fought since last September. Other than that, this looks like a ballsy place to take a shot.

Warren is being gambled early. Win and he could largely have what market there is for his division in the US cornered. The best fight that can be made at Bantamweight is signed for September, pitting Japan’s Shinsuke Yamanaka against Moreno. That will appeal to hardcore fans but Yamanaka isn’t likely to travel to the US if he wins. Moreno isn’t going to sell a bunch of tickets here.

With Warren’s handlers at the PBC recently signing McJoe Arroyo three pounds south, and Carl Frampton four pounds up, there could be some in-house matches for him down the road. Lose and Warren being lost in the shuffle isn’t hard to fathom.

Whether he’s ready for this shot or not, it’s here and Warren has a chance to change the narrative of his public boxing life. So far, he’s been the guy who can’t quite get it done on the biggest stage.

Sunday, he can be the guy holding his first major title belt in the air.

Hopefully, Rau'Shee can bring that belt back home to Ohio where it belongs.....word to Tim Austin:mjcry:



They got you jumping in the deep end of the pool with this fight. Jumping in back to back fights from the #161 ranked Bantamweight with 11 losses already, up to the undefeated, #3 RING ranked WBA Bantamweight Champion:wow:



Let's do this

Surprising


It only seats 400 people at capacity:to:


I have kids and I watch NXT with them every Wednesday:mjcry:



*edit*


There were just under 200 ticket holders turned away from last night's WWE NXT Arrival event at Full Sail University, apparently because Full Sail oversold the event. Fans were told right before the event that the 400-seat NXT Arena was over capacity.
