Introducing J.J. Ambrose Introducing J.J. Ambrose The name J.J. Ambrose is likely familiar to those who closely follow mixed martial arts, but if you only follow the older combat sport of boxing, you probably have not heard of him. That is because the young MMA veteran will be making his professional boxing debut this Friday night at the Orange County Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, California. While still a wrestler in high school, Ambrose found his way to sanctioned combat in 2004. Working out at a gym, Ambrose was approached about an upcoming MMA event in nearby Lake Havasu City, Arizona and quickly agreed to fight on the card. “Every weekend we were watching UFC fights, and I remember thinking at the time that if I could just punch Matt Hughes in the face one time, I could be champion,” recalls Ambrose. “Little did I know at the time, I was just a stupid, ignorant kid.” Despite his ignorance, and only about two weeks of prep time, Ambrose won his first bout against an equally inexperienced foe by guillotine choke. “The guy wasn’t very good as it was, so it wasn’t a big deal,” says Ambrose in retrospect. “But at the time it was huge. I was a kid in high school that won a fight.” In the years since, Ambrose has dedicated himself to mixed martial arts, amassing a listed record of 15-3, 3 KOs, 9 Submissions. Currently Ambrose lives in San Jose, California and trains alongside some of the world’s best mixed martial artists at the American Kickboxing Academy. Still just 24- years-old, Ambrose has gained recognition while stomping out much of his competition and gaining titles in various regional promotions. However, when Ambrose has stepped up to the more visible level of the sport he has come up short. In June of 2008, Ambrose was submitted by current UFC competitor Mike Pyle on the Affliction – Banned show in Anaheim, California. “He just outclassed me,” says Ambrose. “He was a notch ahead of me. I was just 21 and had only broken into the sport for a couple years. Experience definitely played into that.” More recently, Ambrose was featured on the twelfth installment of the UFC’s popular program The Ultimate Fighter. Fighting for a spot on one of the two teams, Ambrose lost a two-round decision to Sevak Magakian. “It was a good experience, but I know who I am now,” says Ambrose. “I am pretty much a family man/fighter. You take me off my rock and I turn into a mental midget. I need my wife and my kid close by. They don’t need to go to the fight, but the weeks leading up, I like having my wife and kid there. I spend a day without them and I start panicking.” Had Ambrose won entry into the tournament, he would have been living in a house with the other fighters, without any contact with his wife Francesa and baby daughter Juliet. “It got frustrating being there,” says Ambrose. “Just the thought of being there for six weeks without them got rough. It’s one thing to be shut in a house with a bunch of dudes and not be able to call them, it changes everything.” While his early exit from The Ultimate Fighter meant a missed opportunity at a contract with the UFC, the goal of just about every serious mixed martial artist, Ambrose feels his time will come. “I want to go when I am absolutely ready,” says Ambrose. “I think The Ultimate Fighter brings in guys that aren’t quite ready, but are perfect for the drama. It wasn’t my time. I think in another year or two I will be ready. But right now I just want to focus on getting more experience and more tough fights.” Since his time on The Ultimate Fighter, Ambrose has fought twice and won both, lastly knocking out Masakazu Taguchi in the first round. Unlike many mixed martial artists that transition or even dabble in boxing, Ambrose is not a striker by trade. “I am more of a ground guy,” says Ambrose. “Recently I went to Thailand for a couple months and did some stand-up, and I ended up knocking out my last opponent with just my hands. I am mostly a wrestler, but I think I am going into uncharted territory for myself and working on my stand-up. So who knows, I may have a boxer-wrestler style now I guess.” After years of wrestling and mixed martial arts, Ambrose has decided to try his hand at boxing. “I’ve been talking about it for a few years,” says Ambrose. “I have already done mixed martial arts, and boxing is one of the key factors of MMA. I figured I might as well do both. K.J. Noons is real famous for doing both, so I figured I would try the same. I have been practicing for a while and the opportunity came up.” Ambrose’s opportunity comes this Friday, as he takes on debuting Stephan Lugo of Newport Beach, California in a four- round middleweight bout. Unlike the aforementioned Noons, Ambrose does not have any designs on claiming titles as a boxer. “I don’t think you [can win titles] in both,” Ambrose believes. “Boxers have to box everyday. Mixed martial artists have to do a wide range of things. I think you could be perfect at only one thing. I don’t think you could be perfect at both. K.J. Noons calling out [Floyd] Mayweather, that is either for publicity or he is delusional.” In preparing for his first pro boxing match, Ambrose has had to make adjustments in everything from footwork to footwear. “It’s funny, I bought my first pair of boxing shoes and I don’t wear shoes too often,” says Ambrose. “If I wear shoes, they are just a pair of sandals or I pick up a pair of those vibrams and go running with those. Other than that, this is the first pair of shoes I have worn consistently for a while.” As one could imagine, there are many nuances an MMA fighter has to pick up on to be successful as a boxer. “I’ve had to drop all of my MMA background and learn how to box,” says Ambrose. “Keeping your hands up is huge. There is a lot more pivoting in boxing. MMA fighters seem to go right at each other. Working with boxers is very different. Boxers like to dip their heads down real low, and in MMA you can’t do that because you will get kneed in the face.” “I can’t say which training his harder, because in boxing, your arms get tired. They are throwing punches the entire three minutes of a round. In MMA, there is down time. You take a guy down. You lay on top of him for a minute and then you transition to something else. When we are standing up, we throw big bombs and then we take a break. In boxing, there is a lot more punches thrown. I have watched CompuBox, and they are throwing 100 punches a round. That is an incredible pace for three minutes.” Win or lose, it is more than likely that the next time Ambrose stares across at an opponent, it will be as a MMA fighter. “I am just going to see how this fight goes,” says Ambrose. “If it goes well then I will get another one, but at heart I am a MMA fighter. I already miss wrestling. I haven’t wrestled in two months. I have just been doing nothing but boxing. I am ready to get an MMA fight as soon as the boxing match is over, but as supplemental fighting, in between MMA, I wouldn’t mind doing boxing matches.” J.J. Ambrose is an athlete that enjoys challenging himself, especially with something new or different. This Friday night one such challenge presents itself, and Ambrose would not have it any other way. “I feel like most of my fights were against guys that weren’t up to my caliber, and that is why I beat them,” says Ambrose. “I don’t feel like I’ve beat too many guys on heart or conditioning. It was always about my skill being better than their skill. I’d like some more difficult fights, and that is why I am doing this boxing match. Obviously this guy is going to have better boxing, but we will see how his heart and his conditioning play out.” Mario Ortega Jr. can be reached at [email protected]..

  • Inertial Sensors for Performance Analysis in Combat Sports: a Systematic Review
    sports Article Inertial Sensors for Performance Analysis in Combat Sports: A Systematic Review Matthew TO Worsey , Hugo G Espinosa * , Jonathan B Shepherd and David V Thiel School of Engineering and Built Environment, Griffith University, Brisbane, QLD 4111, Australia; matthew.worsey@griffithuni.edu.au (M.T.O.W.); j.shepherd@griffith.edu.au (J.B.S.); d.thiel@griffith.edu.au (D.V.T.) * Correspondence: h.espinosa@griffith.edu.au; Tel.: +61-7-3735-8432 Received: 5 December 2018; Accepted: 18 January 2019; Published: 21 January 2019 Abstract: The integration of technology into training and competition sport settings is becoming more commonplace. Inertial sensors are one technology being used for performance monitoring. Within combat sports, there is an emerging trend to use this type of technology; however, the use and selection of this technology for combat sports has not been reviewed. To address this gap, a systematic literature review for combat sport athlete performance analysis was conducted. A total of 36 records were included for review, demonstrating that inertial measurements were predominately used for measuring strike quality. The methodology for both selecting and implementing technology appeared ad-hoc, with no guidelines for appropriately analysing the results. This review summarises a framework of best practice for selecting and implementing inertial sensor technology for evaluating combat sport performance. It is envisaged that this review will act as a guide for future research into applying technology to combat sport. Keywords: combat sport; technology; inertial sensor; performance 1. Introduction In recent years, technological developments have resulted in the production of small, unobtrusive wearable inertial sensors.

  • Adam Kownacki Uds Chris Arreola in Record Setting Heavyweight Punch-Fest
    Adam Kownacki UDs Chris Arreola In Record Setting Heavyweight Punch-Fest BROOKLYN, NY — Polish-born Brooklyn heavyweight Adam “Babyface” Kownacki upped his perfect record to 20-0, 15KO, earning a hard-fought twelve round unanimous decision against former three-time world title challenger Chris “The Nightmare” Arreola (38-6-1, 33KO) in the main event of a FOX broadcast from the Barclays Center. Judges scores were 118-110 and 117-111 for Kownacki. The fight was fought at a frantic pace for two big men who tipped the scales at a combined 510¼ pounds (Kownacki, 266¼ & Arreola 244). Combined, the two sluggers threw 2,172 punches, landing 667 of them, both CompuBox records for the heavyweight division. Kownacki, 30, wasted no time forcing the action, as he came off his stool firing in the bout’s opening round firing loaded shots that immediately had Arreola retreating. The 6’3” Pole continued to stalk Arreola, who tried to jab his way out of harm’s way. Once that task proved too difficult, Arreola made adjustments, and in the ensuing rounds the 38 year-old Californian began to smother Kownacki, continuously leaning on him and forcing the fight in-close. From round two through twelve, the fight would be fought in- tight, which certainly wore on each fighter as they seemingly gassed midway through each round. Kownacki seemingly landed at will and was more creative with his punches than Arreola, who possibly broke his right hand in the third round. The Pole, who is trained by Keith Trimble, varied his offense, threw uppercuts, short left hooks, and right crosses around Arreola’s guard.

  • Dmitriy Salita Congratulates Boxing's Newest Elite Heavyweight, Otto Wallin
    Dmitriy Salita Congratulates Boxing’s Newest Elite Heavyweight, Otto Wallin Dmitriy Salita, promoter of the fighter everyone is talking about this morning, Otto Wallin, wishes to congratulate the giant Swede for his unveiling and ascension into elite-level status in heavyweight boxing. Despite coming in as a 25-1 underdog against lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury on Saturday night at the T- Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the fearless southpaw Wallin took the fight to Fury in a spirited challenge, cutting him twice and hurting him badly in the 12th and final round. The previously unknown Wallin can no longer be ignored in the landscape of top heavies and promoter Salita, who repeatedly predicted an upset in the weeks leading up to the fight, says he’s extremely proud of the 28-year-old from Sundsvall, Sweden. “Otto showed he is undoubtedly a top heavyweight,” said Salita. “He landed more punches on Fury than anyone ever has according to CompuBox. He was relentless and fearless. I am so proud of him and his incredible performance.” Statistics don’t lie. Wallin’s 127 landed (total) punches were indeed the most ever tracked by a Fury opponent. By comparison, Deontay Wilder landed just 71 against Fury and Wladimir Klitschko only 52. Through six rounds, as the doctor’s were checking Fury’s 40- plus stitch cut (caused by a clean punch) the punch stats were virtually even with Wallin landing with much better accuracy. The fight was capped by Wallin’s heart-stopping final round where he chased a staggered and exhausted Fury around the ring and landed 23 of 37 punches compared to Fury’s 10 of 42.

INTRODUCTION Boxing is a dangerous sport.1 This was tragically illustrated twice within three months in 2005 when both Martin Sanchez and Leavander Johnson died after suffering injuries during professional boxing matches.2 Sanchez died shortly after suffering a brain bleed during a fight with Rustam Nugaev; Johnson, who also received a fatal brain injury, died five days after his fight with Jesus Chavez.3 While boxing is undoubtedly dangerous,4 extensive regulations covering boxer safety have supposedly made the sport safer.5 Despite the presence of these regulations, the circumstances surrounding the recent deaths of Sanchez and Johnson, especially the death of Sanchez, have led many to believe that the current safety regulations are not being properly enforced.6 For example, one of these regulations requires each boxer to undergo a pre- fight physical examination.7 However, there is evidence that 1 For a history of boxer injuries and legislative responses, see Sen.
