Omar Sheika, Ahmed “Baby Face” Kaddour and Terrance Cauthen Highlight a Big Night of Boxing on March 26Th in Hamilton, New Jersey OMAR SHEIKA, AHMED “BABY FACE” KADDOUR AND TERRANCE CAUTHEN HIGHLIGHT A BIG NIGHT OF BOXING ON MARCH 26TH IN HAMILTON, NEW JERSEY HAMILTON, NJ (MARCH 2nd, 2010)—On Friday night, March 26th a big night of boxing will commence from beautiful Hamilton Manor in Hamilton, New Jersey as Nadal Promotions LLC will showcase former four-time Super Middleweight world title challenger Omar Sheika, Cast member of the Contender Ahmed “Baby Face” Kaddour and perennial Welterweight contender Terrance “The Heat” Cauthen in separate co-features that will headline the eight bout card. In one co-feature, Sheika of nearby Paterson, New Jersey will battle rugged vet, Jose “Macho” Medina in a eight round Light Heavyweight bout. Sheika has a record of 28-9 with nineteen knockouts and is looking for one more big run as he is now campaigning in the Light Heavyweight division. The thirty-three year old Sheika won his first fourteen bouts as he became a fan favorite by appearing on many nationally televised shows. After suffering his first loss, Sheika racked up six impressive wins in a row that included victories over two world champions in Simon Brown and Glen Johnson. Those wins catapulted Sheika into his first world title bout where he was stopped in five by the legendary Joe Calzaghe. After the Calzaghe fight, Sheika went 3-1 and earned a shot at WBC champion Eric Lucas. Sheika dropped the unanimous decision and then went on two lose his two successive bouts. Sheika went on a three fight winning streak to set up a shot at IBF champion Jeff Lacy. Sheika fought very well before dropping the unanimous decision (Sheika lost by just two points on two cards). That fight earned a trip to Germany and a fight with WBC Markus Beyer. One again, Sheika came up just short and dropped a very close unanimous decision. Since that fight, Sheika has gone 2-1 with the lone defeating being a stoppage loss to the great Roy Jones Jr. In his last bout, Sheika stopped Theo Kruger in eight rounds on Septermber 23rd in Manchester, New Hampshire. Medina of Philadelphia has a very deceiving record of 15-17 with eleven knockouts. Medina won his first nine fights, including eight by knockout. After dropping back to back fights to Tybius Flowers and Nurhan Suleyman, Medina scored two more wins. Medina started upping his level of competition and his wins became fewer and further in between. Medina has lost to fighters such as Shamone Alvarez (10-0); Roberto Garcia (17-2); Perennial Middleweight contender David Lopez (29-12); Rasheem Brown (17-3); Marcus Johnson (13-0); Julio Garcia (40-3); Anthony Dirrell (14-0); Adam Hubinger (12-0); Isaac Rodriguez (13-0); Tyrone Brunson (20-0-1) and his last bout to Dyah Davis (16-1) on January 16th in Macon, GA. In the second co-feature, former star of The Contender Season 1, Ahmed “Baby Face” Kaddour will battle underappreciated Jerome Ellis in a Jr. Middleweight bout scheduled for eight founds.. Kaddour is of Lebanese decent and spent time in Demark, Houston and has been training in New Jersey for this fight and he will bring in a record of 21-2 with nine knockouts. Kaddour very quietly built up a record of 18-0 with nine knockouts before being picked for the Inaugural season of The Contender. On the show, Kaddour showed an outgoing personality and quickly gained fans worldwide. Unfortunately, Kaddour dropped his only fight on the show when he lost a unanimous decision to Ishe Smith (13-0). Kaddour came back on the show and dropped a five round unanimous decision to future Welterweight title challenger Alfonso Gomez (11-2-1). Since the show, Kaddour’s career has been littered with inactivity as he has only fought four times in almost six years. Kaddour won a eight round unanimous decision over Maxell Taylor (12-1) as part of the popular SHO Box series. After a fourteen month layoff, Kaddour fought to a disputed draw with Jesus Valverde and just two months later he took an eight round split decision in the rematch. Then after almost a three year break, Kaddour came back scored six round unanimous decision to Mike Ermis (6-7-2) last September 12th in Denmark. Kadoour will be taking on the tough Jerome Ellis. Ellis has a record of 12-10-2 with ten knockouts and like Medina, he has fought some very tough competition. Ellis won his first five fights (including a split decision over Ed Peredes, who is now 24-3). Ellis then dropped two in a row which included a unanimous decision to then 14-2 Said Ouali. After a 2-0-1 stretch, the native of Coconut Creek, FL lost to then hot prospect Anthiny Thompson (17-1) by unanimous decision. Ellis then scored an eighth round stoppage over Kevin Cagle (16-1) before dropping a six round unanimous decision to Irving Garcia (10-2). Ellis scored three straight wins including upset stoppages over Felix Cepeda (7-0) and Neil Sinclair (28-4). Ellis stepped up the competition as he has gone 1-6-1 in his last eight with some of those losses being to Future Middleweight title challenger Billy Lyell, Future Welterweight title challenger Miguel Angel Rodriguez (28-2); then undefeated prospect Henry Crawford (18-0-1); Hot welterweight prospect Antowne Smith (12-0-1). Ellis has a draw with welterweight contender Richard Gutierrez (24-2.) in Ellis last outing, he was stopped by hot prospect Shawn Porter (10-0) in four rounds on November 21st in Tunica, Mississippi In the third eight round co-feature, Terrance “The Heat” Cauthen of nearby Trenton, New Jersey will battle Isam Khalil of Sweden. Cauthen is a former U.S Olympian who has had a solid career fighting some of the better welterweights in the world and sports a record of 33-6 with nine knockouts. Cauthen, a fourteen year pro started his career by winning fourteen consecutive bouts before being stopped by Teddy Reid on August 6th, 1999. That did not deter Cauthen as he then went on to reel off eleven more victories to push his record to an impressive 25-1. Cauthn then stepped it up and dropped two in a row including losing a decision to pound for pound resident Paul Williams. Cauthen then went 6-0-1 including win over former U.S. Olympian Dante Craig. He has gone 1-3 in his last four bouts as he has been in with Sechew Powell (21-1); Cauthen then defeated undefeated Alexis Camacho (16-0); but losses to Shamone Alvarez (19-1) and his most recent fight, which he was stopped by undefeated Canadian Antonin DeCarie (21-0) last October 3rd in Montreal. This will be a huge step up for Khalil, who has an impressive record of 15-1-2 with nine knockouts. He was undefeated in his first fifteen fights (13-0-2) until he was stopped in four rounds by rugged Doel Carrasquillo. Since then, Khalil has won two in a row including a four round unanimous decision over Serjejs Savrinovics on March 27th, 2008 in Sweden. This will be Khalil’s fourth fight in America after fighting in Sweden, England, Hungary, Germany, Finland and Spain. That is not all the action scheduled for the card an exciting undercard has been put together which includes: Alando Swain will make his pro debut in a four round Super Middleweight bout against an opponent to be named. Billy Salser (3-0, 2 KO’s) battles Joe Njau (0-3) in a four round Light Heavyweight bout. Marcus Smith (0-1) takes on Rami Ibraham (2-8-1) in a Lightweight bout scheduled for four rounds.

  • The Mouthpiece
    The Mouthpiece The Ultimate Warrior’s Legacy & Legend—Wilson Dominates Sheika By: George Hanson Jr., Esq. Date: Saturday, April 23, 2011 Venue: Caesar‘s, Atlantic City, New Jersey Promoter: Peltz Boxing Promotions Matchmaker: J. Russell Peltz Coverage: www.gofightlive.com Ring Announcer: Dean Stone Referees: Earl Brown, Dave Franciosi & Brian O‘Melia Photos: www.christoneyphotography.com I have never found myself at a loss for words. However, writing about Philadelphia cruiserweight Garrett ―The Ultimate Warrior‖ Wilson has been a daunting task because I really don‘t know where to start. There is so much I want to say that I don‘t know if it can be contained in my customary seven-page article. I guess it is not difficult writing about Wilson, since my opening was about how I can‘t find the words to begin my story. I guess that is the genius of crafting a great article—you write about being lost for words. If I really were at a standstill then this page would be blank. That brings to mind an old joke: ―If someone tells you that they are a pathological liar, should you believe them?‖ Don‘t try to figure out that one. Where was I?
