Chris Algieri: When you look at records you lean towards Orlando Gonzalez, but don't sleep on a guy like Jorge Castaneda

Press Release: November 28, 2023 By ProBox TV-  Orlando Gonzalez will collide with Jorge Castaneda on ProBox TV's Wednesday Night Fights in two days time. The pair will clash over 10 rounds at super featherweight as the main attraction in Plant City, Florida.

Gonzalez (21-2, 12 KOs) took part in a Fight of the Year contender defeating Ramiro Cesena on points this past July. Castaneda (16-2, 12 KOs) comes off a late knockout victory against Nestor Medellin in August.


Former world champion and WNF commentator Chris Algieri previewed the upcoming bout.


"Castaneda is a tough guy, an upset minded guy." Algieri said. "He beat the very highly touted Otha Jones III. Gave him his first loss, he was a really good amateur, who I think was signed right away to Matchroom. There was a lot of hype behind him and Castaneda beat him. A couple of fights ago he had a shootout that did not go his way, with Eduardo Hernandez who just had an incredible fight with O'Shaquie Foster. He's got some losses on his record but he's fought some stiff competition. Those are the types of guys we always get here.


"We've had Orlando Gonzalez on our air before, he was in a super exciting fight. He had an incredible fight with Cesena last time out. He's looking to keep that momentum going. He is going to be a third time ProBox participant, which I tip my hat to. Any fighter that fights more than once on ProBox is tough because our fights are really tough. There are no easy fights on our air. Anyone who comes knows they are stepping into the meat grinder. Gonzalez is willing to do it again and he's got a stiff challenge in front of him. Looking at records you are going to lean towards Gonzalez, but don't sleep on a guy like Castaneda. He's coming off a win, knocking out an undefeated opponent in his last fight which he rebounded from a first round knockout loss. He's a live dog, he's got a lot to prove. Both these guys do.”

Fury-Ngannou Boxing's Latest Spectacle

In August 2017, the Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) worlds were consumed by a fight that was a legitimate mega event in terms of interest. This observer is referring to the encounter between Boxing Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather and two-division UFC world champion Connor McGregor, which took place in Las Vegas, NV and was one of the last successful pay-per-view attractions to draw a significant buyrate of over four million buys. The action in the ring that August evening favored the experienced boxer Mayweather, who stopped a very "Game" McGregor in ten rounds.


The Mayweather-McGregor fight followed a familiar pattern in the realm of combat sports. In that when a fighter from one combat sport ventures into another combat sport where they do not have experience in terms of that sport being their primary discipline, the results often are not favorable for that fighter and more often than not, such bouts tend to be regarded as mismatches when all is said and done. This has been seen in both spectrums in boxers venturing into MMA as future Hall of Famer James Toney did when he faced UFC Hall of Famer and two-division world champion Randy Couture and was quickly taken down to the canvas and submitted, and the aforementioned encounter between McGregor and Mayweather, held in Mayweather's realm, the Boxing ring. Although unlike Toney, McGregor was able to hold his own for a period of time in that fight, the results of both bouts were similar, the inexperienced fighter, who ventured into a different sport, ultimately being out classed and stopped by a fighter who's primary combat discipline was the format in which the fight was held. 


Despite those two clear and indisputable results, there still remains a fascination in "Boxing vs. MMA" bouts in both sports. Such an event will take place on Saturday, October 28th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as undefeated two-time Heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, current holder of the WBC World Heavyweight championship, will face former UFC Heavyweight world champion Frances Ngannou in a bout that can be seen on ESPN+ Pay-Per-View in the United States. The scheduled ten round bout, is either an exhibition or an official bout depending on who one asks. One thing that can be confirmed is the WBC's version of the World Heavyweight championship will not be on the line in this bout. If this will indeed be an official professional bout, as Mayweather-McGregor was, it will mark Ngannou's debut as a professional boxer.


Obviously, the main selling point of this fight as almost all "Boxing vs. MMA" bouts can be summed up in one word, "Curiosity.* No matter how many times these types of bouts take place, no matter how lopsided the fights might be in favor of one fighter, there will always be the element of both "Curiosity" and "What If's" that will surround it. Despite the aforementioned examples of lopsided or one-sided outcomes in fights like this that have taken place in the past, there are also notable exceptions, which probably contribute in some way to the "Curiosity" and "What If's" prior to a fight such as this. 


Many will recall former WBO World Heavyweight champion Ray Mercer, who after a long and successful career as a boxer, ventured into the sport of MMA and scored a one punch knockout of former UFC Heavyweight world champion Tim Sylvia in 2009. Others are likely familiar with the careers of former Boxing world champions Troy Dorsey and Chris Algieri, two fighters who prior to their respective careers in professional Boxing, had won world championships as professional Kickboxers. While rare, a fighter being able to have success in more than one combat sport has been done before.


Will Frances Ngannou be able to add his name to that select list. One thing the former UFC Heavyweight world champion has going for him is in his MMA career, he has shown that he is extremely heavy-handed and has scored knockouts in ten of his seventeen career wins, most via punches. The question here is whether or not he will be able to use that punching power against a world-class boxer who just happens to be one of two fighters who has a legitimate claim to the World Heavyweight championship. While many MMA fighters do train in Boxing in preparation for their bouts as Boxing is after all a martial art, there is a difference between the two sports and even though nothing can be taken away from what Ngannou has been able to accomplish in his MMA career, this will be his first fight in a Boxing ring with a pair of Boxing gloves on and not the open-handed one ounce MMA gloves, which for all intents and purposes is one step away from fighting under Bareknuckle rules. It is indisputable that Ngannou has power in both hands, but the difference in skill level in terms of Boxing between his previous MMA opponents and a seasoned professional boxer as well as wearing eight ounce Boxing gloves are likely to play a factor here.


One must also keep in mind that Tyson Fury is a very elusive and awkward fighter that has deceptive punching power in both hands. Fury has also shown more than once they he can get up from being knocked down under circumstances where other fighters likely would not have gotten up, something that Ngannou has obviously yet to prove in terms of in a Boxing ring. Ngannou does have what could turn out to be an asset in his corner in the form of former two-time Heavyweight world champion and Hall of Famer Mike Tyson, the man who Tyson Fury was named after, as his trainer. Although some may feel the addition of Mike Tyson might be more for show, Tyson was groomed to be a fighter by the legendary late great Cus D'Amato,who taught him a style with an emphasis on head movement, hand speed, and punching power. With this being the first time that Tyson has been in the capacity of a trainer, it will be interesting to see what he has taught Ngannou in terms of implementing a Boxing style that might be effective. It is also worth noting that a major element of Tyson's Boxing education under D'Amato was significant film study sessions that also molded Tyson into one of the sport's noted historians. What makes this potentially noteworthy is that by learning through film study as well as other methods taught by D'Amato, Tyson was also exposed to a variety of styles in addition to the one that he was trained by D'Amato to use. Therefore, if Tyson has indeed been training Ngannou and this is not a mere publicity tactic to generate interest in this fight, one should not necessarily expect an attempt of implementing a style similar to what Tyson used in his prime. Tyson nevertheless is very knowledgeable on just about every known Boxing style and it would be wise for Ngannou to at minimum seek his advice.


As for Tyson Fury, it is questionable just how seriously he is taking this fight whether it is an exhibition or not. Why would there be questions regarding that? As some know, Fury recently signed a contract for a fight with undefeated WBO/IBF/WBA/IBO Heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk for what would be for the Undisputed Heavyweight championship of the world. A fight that could be scheduled as soon as this coming December depending on both the outcome of this fight as well as any potential injuries that Fury might sustain. It might be possible based on the fact that Fury signed the contract before this fight takes place that he might be treating it lightly.


Whatever the case might be, whether this is an exhibition or not, the eyes of the combat sports world will nevertheless be focused on this event. It would be nice for a change considering that Boxing is a consistent target of ridicule if there was not anything negative that emerged from this fight. To go a step further, it would also be nice if we also saw a competitive contest, which is something that many are not expecting.

Chris Algieri Joins ProBox TV

Press Release: February 22, 2023 – By ProBox TV – ProBox TV have added another big name to their star-studded lineup, with one-time world super lightweight champion coming in alongside boxing legends Paulie Malignaggi and Juan Manuel Marquez on the newly launched apps broadcasts.
Credit: ProBox TV 


Algieri, who has featured prominently in an analyst role on numerous networks, gave his take on ProBox TV product.

The Long Island native said, "ProBox TV is exactly what boxing has been missing and desperately needs. Competitive fights between hungry and talented fighters. I grew up only seeing good competitive scraps on TV. Nowadays that is so rare the case that every decent fight is touted as “fight of the year candidate”. From what I’ve seen thus far ProBoxTV only has competitive fights. There ain't no easy touches here.

"That being said, I am extremely happy to be the newest member of the squad. Calling good, competitive fights with legit talent makes my job as an analyst and commentator that much easier…and fun."

The former foe of Manny Pacquiao, who rose through the ranks in New York, fighting 50/50 fights on his way up, now sits in the ProBox TV broadcast booth alongside Paulie Malignaggi, Juan Manuel Marquez and the long-time voice of UFC Mike Goldberg. 

The New Yorker opened up about featuring alongside the trio and discussed ProBox TV's next event this coming Wednesday evening.

Algieri stated, "I am extremely excited about this particular event as I have been a fan of ProBox TV long before I came to the team. I have watched the development of guys like Najee Lopez, Darrelle Valsaint and the Valle brothers and I'm excited to call them live. 

"The main event of Manuel Gallegos and Richard Vansiclen is a classic clash of styles. Gallegos is an all action Mexican power puncher versus Vansiclen the savvy, athletic southpaw is a recipe for a modern day classic.

"Aside from the history of great matchups showcasing up and coming talent, I was highly motivated to work alongside legends like Juan Manuel Marquez, Paulie Malignaggi and Mike Goldberg. There is no higher honor than to work amongst some of the best in the sport doing what I love to do."

Benn KO’s Algieri In 4

 

Undefeated Welterweight contender Conor Benn scored a brutal fourth round knockout of former WBO Jr. Welterweight world champion Chris Algieri on Saturday night at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. Benn began the fight by trying to establish an attack to Algieri’s body. Algieri, a fighter known for his lateral movement and ability to pick his spots was unable to find a rhythm due to both Benn’s body attack as well as his head movement, which limited Algieri’s ability to land his jab. In round two, a short left hook to the head sent Algieri down in a summersault like motion where his legs momentarily got caught in the ropes. Algieri contended that it was a slip and appeared to indicate that he felt he was hit behind the head. Nevertheless, the knockdown was counted. Benn brought a sudden and dramatic conclusion to the fight in the fourth round when a brutal one, two highlighted by a right hand to the chin sent the former world champion down and out on the canvas. Official time was 1:58 of round four. Conor Benn advances to 20-0, with 13 Knockouts. Chris Algieri falls to 25-4, with 9 Knockouts.

 

Also on this card:

 

Undefeated Undisputed Women’s Lightweight world champion Katie Taylor scored a ten round unanimous decision over top contender Firuza Sharipova. The fight was largely dictated by Taylor’s hand speed as she consistently found ways to beat Sharipova to the punch. Sharipova was able to execute her offense in spots, but generally it was Taylor getting the better of the action. Sharipova suffered a cut above the right eye in the fifth round as a result of an accidental clash of heads. Perhaps in a sign of frustration, the challenger was deducted a point in round six for holding, but even rough house tactics were not enough to turn the ebb and flow in her favor and Taylor was able to secure the convincing ten round unanimous decision to retain her Lightweight crown. Official scores were: 98-92, 97-92, and 96-93 all for Taylor. Katie Taylor advances to 20-0, with 6 Knockouts. Firuza Sharipova falls to 14-2, with 8 Knockouts.

 

Jr. Welterweight contender Robbie Davies scored a second round knockout over longtime contender Hank Lundy. Davies caught Lundy with a right hook to the temple in round one that badly staggered the veteran and former world title challenger. Lundy was able to survive the round under very unsteady legs, but Davies sensing that his opponent was compromised pressed forward in the second round, ultimately trapping Lundy and knocking him down and through the ropes. Lundy struggled to get back in the ring, but was counted out. Official time of the stoppage was 1:23 of round two. Lundy appeared to injury his right leg as he fell through the ropes and was examined in his corner following the stoppage. Robbie Davies advances to 22-3, with 15 Knockouts. Hank Lundy falls to 31-10-1, with 14 Knockouts.

 

Undefeated Jr. Lightweight Joe Cordina scored a ten round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Miko Khatchatryan. Cordina consistently forced the action and outworked Khatchatryan over ten rounds to earn the unanimous decision victory. Official scores were 100-90, and 98-92 (On two scorecards) in favor of Cordina. Joe Cordina advances to 14-0, with 8 Knockouts. Miko Khatchatryan falls to 13-1, with 7 Knockouts.

 

Jr. Featherweight Peter McGrail moved to 2-0 in his young career with a second round knockout of Engel Gomez. The end came with a one, two from McGrail from the southpaw stance that ended with a left hand to the chin that sent Gomez flat on his back on the canvas. The bout was immediately stopped. Official time of the stoppage was 2: 18 of round two. Peter McGrail advances to 2-0, with 1 Knockout. Engel Gomez falls to 8-4-1, with 4 Knockouts.

 

 

In a battle of undefeated Middleweights, Caoimhin Agyarko scored an impressive ninth round stoppage of previously unbeaten Noe Larios. Agyarko implemented a systematic attack and was able to find a home for his left hook with increasing regularity throughout. This along with periodically switching his stance from southpaw to orthodox kept Larios from being able to find a way to break his rhythm. The end came when a flush left hook to the jaw of Larios staggered him and sent him against the ropes. A follow up barrage of unanswered punches forced a stoppage of the bout at 2:08 of round nine. Caoimhin Agyarko  advances to 10-0, with 7 Knockouts. Noe Larios falls to 14-1, with 6 Knockouts.

 

Super-Middleweight Paddy Lacey remained unbeaten by scoring a workmanlike four round decision over Vasif Mamedov. As all non-title bouts that do not impact regional or world rankings that are held in the United Kingdom and Ireland are scored solely by the referee officiating a bout, Referee John Latham scored the bout 40-36 in favor of Lacey. Paddy Lacey advances to 3-0, with 0 Knockouts. Vasif Mamedov falls to 2-8-2 with 0 Knockouts.

 

Featherweight contender Jordan Gill fought to a three round technical draw with veteran Alan Castillo. Gill suffered a cut on the hairline as a result of an accidental clash of heads that resulted in the bout being stopped. Because the bout was stopped before four rounds were completed, the bout was declared a technical draw. Joran Gill advances to 26-1-1, with 7 Knockouts. Alan Castillo advances to 27-11-1, with 10 Knockouts.

 

Jr. Welterweight Calum French scored a six round decision to begin his professional career over Rustem Fatkhullin. Referee Bob Williams scored the bout 60-54 in favor of French. Calum French advances to 1-0, with 0 Knockouts. Rustem Fatkhullin falls to 8-17, with 3 Knockouts.

 

Jr. Featherweight Joe McGrail began the evening by successfully making his professional debut in scoring a second round stoppage over Francisco Rodriguez. McGrail scored a knockdown with a right hand in the second round and had Rodriguez staggered badly in the latter seconds of the round. Although Rodriguez was able to survive the round, his corner had seen enough and stopped the fight at the conclusion of the second round. Joe McGrail advances to 1-0, with 1 Knockout. Francisco Rodriguez falls to 0-4, with 0 Knockouts.

 

For Conor Benn, the son of former two-division world champion Nigel Benn, this was a statement-making performance against a former world champion in Chris Algieri, who’s only previous stoppage loss came at the hands of current IBF/WBC Welterweight world champion Errol Spence. As a fighter, Nigel Benn was one of the most feared fighters in the Middleweight and Super-Middleweight division because of his punching power and ability to end fights often in devasting fashion in the blink of an eye. Several sons of great fighters have ventured into the sport and have found it difficult to live up to what is oftentimes an unrealistic expectation based on their roots of whose footsteps they are following that has at times produced mixed results. For now, Conor Benn has at least proven that he is a legitimate top contender. In terms of his punching power, it’s clear that he inherited his father’s ability to end a fight suddenly and in brutal fashion. Whether this ultimately leads him to winning a world championship in his own right remains to be seen. The year 2022 just might be the year where Conor Benn will at least get an opportunity to win one.

Hunter KO’s Wilson In 4 At Madison Square Garden

 

WBC/WBA number six rated Heavyweight contender Michael Hunter scored a dominant fourth round knockout of veteran Mike Wilson on Tuesday night at The Theater at Madison Square Garden. From the opening bell, Hunter’s hand speed and combination punching was simply too much for the thirty-eight year old Wilson to combat. Hunter implemented a balanced attack to the body and head of Wilson and landed several hard shots with both hands in displaying a full range of offense. What quickly became target practice for Hunter through three rounds seemed to give an impression that Wilson’s corner may have been tasked with the decision to stop the fight.

 

Before Wilson’s corner could face that decision however, Hunter decked Wilson with a flush right hook to the jaw that sent him down to the canvas in late in round four. Wilson was very “Game” as he staggered to his feet at the count of nine, but was unable to respond to Referee Ricky Gonzalez’ questions as he evaluated whether Wilson was able to continue, which prompted Gonzalez to stop the bout at 2:49 of round four. Michael Hunter advances to 20-1-1, with 14 Knockouts. Mike Wilson falls to 21-2, with 10 Knockouts.

 

Also in action on this card:

 

Former WBI Jr. Welterweight world champion Chris Algieri scored a convincing ten round unanimous decision over Mikkel LesPierre. Algieri consistently forced LesPierre on the defensive throughout by applying pressure and generating a near non-stop offensive output. In round nine, Algieri appeared on the verge of getting a stoppage when he was able to stun LesPierre with a left hook to the head, which set off a barrage of mostly unanswered punches. Despite this, the fight was allowed to continue and to his credit, LesPierre was able to make it to the final bell. Official scores were: 99-91, and 100-90 (On two scorecards) all in favor of Algieri. Chris Algieri advances to 25-3, with 9 Knockouts. Mikkel LesPierre falls to 22-3-1, with 10 Knockouts.

 

Unbeaten Jr. Welterweight Aaron Aponte scored a second round knockout of previously undefeated Gerardo Gonzalez. Aponte dropped Gonzalez with a straight right hand the head late in the first round. Gonzalez was able to survive the round, but was on unsteady legs. Aponte, sensing his opponent was in trouble, immediately pressed the issue in round two dropping Gonzalez for a second and final time with a barrage of punches highlighted by another right hand to the head that sent Gonzalez down to the canvas. The bout was stopped by Referee Sparkle Lee at :30 of round two. Aaron Aponte advances to 4-0, with 2 Knockouts. Gerardo Gonzalez falls to 2-1, with 1 Knockout.

 

This card, which was promoted by Triller in association with Hall of Fame promoter Lou Dibella’s Dibella Entertainment was the first in a new monthly Tuesday night Boxing series that Triller calls “TrillerVerz.”  Although Triller is still a relatively new player in the sport of Boxing, those of us with New York roots like yours truly that are of a certain age are likely old enough to remember Boxing from the Theater at Madison Square Garden, for many years known as the Felt Forum, was regularly broadcast on MSG Network on a monthly basis in the New York market where many of those cards were broadcast by legendary New York Rangers broadcaster Sam Rosen and the late great manager, trainer, and Boxing commentator Gil Clancy. Those who are older and go back further than the MSG Network era might remember going back many decades to previous versions of Madison Square Garden, monthly Boxing cards often promoted by Madison Square Garden Boxing were a staple in New York.

 

For Triller as a new promotional entity in the sport of Boxing that has faced some setbacks in its brief foray in the sport, but has set a quite ambitious goal in an attempt to become one of Boxing’s major players, drawing upon the sport’s history by partnering with Madison Square Garden in an attempt to return monthly Boxing back to “The Mecca of Boxing” is a nice touch and certainly ambitious given both the state of the ongoing global COVID-19 epidemic as well as the significant competition they face from other promoters and both digital streaming and traditional broadcast networks. With Triller now owning digital combat sports streaming network and pay-per-view platform FITE, the potential is there for Triller to re-establish monthly Boxing events at “The Garden” for the streaming age. Now the question is whether they will be able to offer the type of cards and subscription pricing where they will not only be competitive in the streaming space, but also offer a consumer-friendly option to the public. 

 

While this remains to be seen, a good first step would be to be willing to work with other promoters and networks in an effort to offer the best fights possible, something that not every promotional entity that has started out with good momentum has been willing to do. As we have seen, such an approach does not always serve the sport well and leads to fights of significant interest not being made for a variety of reasons. If Triller wants to make a splash in Boxing, this observer can think of no better approach than setting out to be different by showing it is open to working with all promoters. Although it certainly won’t be easy, if they can show that willingness and it leads to increased interest in the sport and more importantly interest that does not come at a high expense for the consumer, Boxing may see something truly beneficial and groundbreaking. For a sport that has no shortage of black eyes and detractors, it would for the all too rare times be a good thing.
