Roy Jones Jr. to Face Mike Tyson in Historic "Exhibition Match"
November 23, 2020 SEVILLE QUARTER CONTACT: BUCK MITCHELL MARKETING & ENTERTAINMENT DIRECTOR [email protected] 850-434-6211 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ROY JONES JR. TO FACE MIKE TYSON IN HISTORIC "EXHIBITION MATCH" PENSACOLA, Fl. – Get ready for the most anticipated fight in the history of boxing, reminiscent to professional bouts featuring immortal fighters like Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. Roy Jones Jr., 51 and Iron Mike Tyson, 54 enter the ring against each other for an eight-round “Exhibition Fight” at The Staples Center in Los Angeles (without fans in attendance). The fight will be shown on PPV at Seville Quarter in Downtown Pensacola (Jones’s hometown) on Saturday, November 28, 2020. The fights, including undercard fights, will start at 8pm. Jones (66-9), former four-division World Champion challenges Tyson (50-6), former undisputed Heavyweight World Champion. The fight is scheduled to take place on Thanksgiving weekend, November 28, 2020. The bout is officially sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission with the WBC Frontline Battle Belt on the line. The Jones-Tyson comeback fight is labeled an ‘Exhibition,’ but that does not mean it is solely for entertainment purposes. The two boxing legends doubled down and are taking this fight very seriously. The fight already has Jones fired up as Tyson talks about looking for a knockout. Jones is looking forward to his chance to fulfill a bucket-list moment and testing his skills against Tyson. The one question Jones says he always hears from people is, "have you ever fought Mike Tyson?" He says "now I don't have to say 'no' no more." Jones is still taking the fight seriously.

Commonly Encountered Boxing Styles Are
6 COMMON STYLES OF BOXERS BY BOBBY MAYNE - May 23, 2019 Commonly encountered six types of boxers / Pictured: Rob Powdrill | Pic: FIGHTMAG A boxer’s individual style has evolved from technical skills continually practiced in the gym along with physical and psychological attributes. Physical attributes include height, build and reach and psychological can be aggressive or defensive in nature when competing. Commonly encountered boxing styles are 1. Swarmer – aggressive 2. Out-boxer – defensive 3. Slugger – both aggressive and defensive 4. Boxer Puncher – both aggressive and defensive 5. The Counterpuncher – both aggressive and defensive 6. The Southpaw – both aggressive and defensive 1. Swarmer The Swarmer also known as ‘the Crowder’ keeps momentum moving forward with a high rate of punches to close the range and wear an opponent down with pressure of a non-stop work rate. The Swarmer is extremely fit and well-conditioned to keep up this constant pressure tactic for the duration of the bout. Famous Swarmers: Ricky Hatton, Erik Morales, Nigel Benn, Micky Ward 2. Out-boxer The Out-boxer will keep an opponent at the end of their reach with long punches such as the Jab. This tactic controls distance and scores with long punches with much footwork movement to avoid being scored upon. Offensive tactics are calculated, keeping at arm’s length range picking their shots when openings occur or luring opponent to attack and with perfect timing unload a counterpunch. Famous Out-boxers: Muhammad Ali, Wladimir Klitschko, Lennox Lewis, Larry Holmes 3. Slugger The Slugger style relies on the strength and power of punches to win the bout, rather than on strategy and a well-placed punches.

Happy 2Nd Anniversary to Superhero Manny Pacquiao!
HAPPY 2ND ANNIVERSARY TO SUPERHERO MANNY PACQUIAO! HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA (July 20, 2021) -- As we look forward to the showdown between eight-division world champion and boxer laureate Senator Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and unified WBC/IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr., which is 32 days away, it seems only fitting to look back at Manny's thrilling victory over then undefeated WBA welterweight "super" champion Keith Thurman, which took place two years ago today in Las Vegas. Manny opened the fight with a first-round knockdown of Thurman en route to a 12-round split decision victory. As Thurman accurately stated in his post-fight interview, "It was a night of blessings and lessons." Manny's victory over Thurman was a career highlight for boxing's longest and most successful partnership. For 20 years, Manny has had his trainer, world-famous Freddie Roach, in his corner, literally and figuratively, winning world titles in seven different weight divisions in a career of firsts that not only defines the champion he repeatedly became, but the Filipino spirit which has been embraced by the world. During those the past 20 years, Manny has played David to a roster of Hall of Fame Goliaths, scoring the most impressive victories of his era against the likes of Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Márquez, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, and Shane Mosley. In his last three fights, which took place during a 12-month period, from July 15, 2018 through July 20, 2019, Manny ran the table, winning welterweight world title fights against Lucas Matthysse, Adrien Broner, and Thurman.

Roy Jones Jr to Headline Knockout Season 2 Fight Card on 8/15
Roy Jones Jr to headline Knockout Season 2 Fight card on 8/15 Former four-division world champion and future Hall of Famer Roy Jones Jr. (61-8) will continue his quest towards a world title in a fifth weight class on August 15th. Jones, who has reeled off 7 victories in a row, will headline Knockout Season 2’s live fight card at the Foxwoods Hotel and Casino and will be broadcast live on Fuse/NuvoTV. Jones also served as the host of Knockout’s second season. The 46-hear-old Jones, who has captured world titles as a middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight, is working his way towards a title shot at cruiserweight to complete the quinfecta. He is also scheduled to fight on August 29th and said that he loves keeping a busy schedule. “I am going to fight on Knockout on the 15th and then again on the 29th. I did two (fights) in March and I am liking how it feels so I am going to do two again in August and see how that feels. If I like how it feels then I will do it again maybe two or three weeks apart,” said Jones. The Pensacola, Fla. native said that he wants to bring back the old school when like fighters like Sugar Ray Robinson and Jake LaMotta faced each other twice in a three week span. A lot of today’s fighters struggle to get in two fights in a year, let alone in a month. “See, they are getting away from the old school stuff.

Hello. My Name Is Billy Martin, and I Am a Member of the Botetourt County Board of Supervisors
Hello. My name is Billy Martin, and I am a member of the Botetourt County Board of Supervisors. I am pleased to provide my thirty-fourth message to the residents and businesses of Botetourt County. The weather is warming up so quickly that on some days, it feels like summer is already here. We hope that this summer will be an especially encouraging and exciting time in Botetourt County as we move forward into a new normal. As I mentioned in my last message, the Botetourt County Fire and EMS team has been diligently working to get vaccines to Botetourt County citizens. Our first responders worked with the Town of Buchanan to distribute vaccines at Limestone Park this past Sunday. They have reached out to deliver vaccines to residents who do not have the ability to travel to distribution sites on their own, and they are also engaging with local companies to distribute vaccines to employees. Thanks to their efforts, more of our Botetourt residents and workers have received life-saving vaccines that will enable them to go about their lives and interact with loved ones more safely. Everyone 16 and up is now eligible to receive a vaccine. To find a vaccine site near you, please go to the county’s COVID 19 website at web.botetourtva.gov/COVID19 and click on the button to register for the vaccine or call 540-530-7077. With more of our County population fully vaccinated and optimistic projections for the summer months, I am pleased to announce that Botetourt County plans to reopen its library buildings and administrative offices on June 1st.
