Who is stitch duran

However, after a deluge of social media backlash, Reebok did release a comment on Twitter. Duran told MMAFighting. Added Duran: "Dana has definitely changed. Now it's all about the economics. It used to be a fighter friendly environment.

We weren't friends, we're not friends and no he shouldn't have been expecting a call from me. And if he's my friend, why didn't he reach out to me? If we were such good friends and all that. Duran is one of the most well-known cutmen in combat sports, so much so that he appears in UFC video games.

He also works with heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko and recently signed to work with Andre Berto for his fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Duran expressed a willingness to reconcile in an interview with MMAFighting. Jessie Vargas is an exception. The LA-born, Las Vegas-raised prizefighter, a former world title-holder at and pounds, aspires to a career in politics. On Monday, Nov. Vargas won his first 26 pro fights but is in his last eight.

Vargas was an underdog in all three fights — a sizeable underdog to Pacquiao and Garcia — and in his first foray into the political arena he finds himself an underdog again. For one thing, he is running as a Republican in a blue state.

Democrats have won five of the last seven presidential elections. Nevada currently has a Democratic governor. Both Senators and three of the four emissaries in the House are Democrats. Members include not only kitchen workers and food and drink servers, but bellmen, porters, housekeepers and laundry workers. The district that Vargas hopes to represent includes several upscale communities, but is predominantly blue-collar.

In Nevada, the U. The Union, more than 60, strong, 45 percent immigrant, prevailed. Nevada stayed blue. Before he can challenge incumbent Steven Horsford, who will almost certainly seek a third consecutive term, Vargas must get by the primary.

Two others have declared their intention to run as Republicans including Columbian-American political operative Carolina Serrano who will undoubtedly drain some Hispanic votes away from the prizefighter. Four of the six members of Congress are female. Jessie Vargas, however, has a lot going for him. Among other things, he has taught self-defense to recruits at the Las Vegas Police Academy.

Vargas is a lapsed Democrat. Judging from the results of the recent gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey, he has a lot of company. Moreover, in Nevada, Republicans have been making some inroads, however slight. Trump garnered Is Vargas done with boxing?

Not necessarily. He acknowledges that he is considering some offers. Should Vargas win a seat in Congress, he would hardly be the first boxer to make his mark in politics.

During the 19 th century, as the Irish were seizing control of the political machinery in many large cities, the boxer-politician came to the fore. Bare-knuckle boxer John Morrissey, who was a young child when his Irish immigrant parents brought him to America, raised the bar.

With Tammany support he became a two-term U. He would be best remembered as the founding father of the Saratoga racetrack. Tommy Gibbons, who followed his brother Mike Gibbons into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, was elected sheriff of Ramsey County, Minnesota, in and served six four-year terms.

Ramsey County encompassed the city of St. Paul where Gibbons was born to Irish immigrants. The great Alexis Arguello was the mayor of Managua, Nicaragua, when he took his own life in His case was different as he was a reluctant office-seeker, a tool of the Sandanistas with whom he became disenchanted.

Vitali Klitschko is the mayor of Kiev, the capitol city of the Ukraine, a post he has held since There was no hesitation on the part of Manny Pacquiao when he threw his hat into the political ring.

The amazing PacMan came up short in his first bid for political office, but went on to win a seat in the Filipino Senate and is now favored at off-shore betting sites to become the president of a nation of million people. This, needless to say, is a very short list of boxer-politicians. Among other things, it would certainly enhance the value of any keepsakes from the Pacquiao-Vargas fight. They held a press conference on the afternoon of the Canelo-Plant fight to promote the forthcoming match in Tampa between you tube influencer Jake Paul and UK reality star Tommy Fury.

Paul vs. Fury, an 8-round cruiserweight contest packaged with the usual frills that one associates with a Jake Paul production, will air on Showtime Pay Per-View on Dec.

For the confab, Showtime commandeered the Red Tail, a combination sports bar and karaoke lounge inside Resorts World, the newest property on the Las Vegas Strip. Built with Malaysian money, Resorts World harbors three different Hilton hotel brands with a combined 3, rooms and 40 restaurants and bars. It sits on the site of the old Stardust Hotel and Casino. The press conference afforded this reporter the first look inside the property. Another reason for attending was the free brunch.

No matter the aliment, it had to beat the box lunches that were doled out to the boxing writers in the media room at the MGM Grand, the contents of which made a Subway sandwich shop seem like a 5-star restaurant. Can you feel the excitement building? He was represented by ace trainer SugarHill Steward who has taken Tommy under his wing. Coach D did not bring his A game. Jake Paul, needless to say, is no shrinking violet. He considers himself solely responsible for bringing a younger demographic into a sport that had been overtaken by UFC.

Tommy Fury is 4. His former opponents were in the aggregate. The oddsmakers chalked him the favorite. Those in the know tell me that Jake Paul can fight more than a little, as Damon Runyon would have put it.

Methinks the oddsmakers have the wrong favorite. Last month, a foot-tall statue of Mike Tyson was unveiled at the entrance to the pizzeria. Hopefully Mr. Palmer got a good deal on it. By the way, by all accounts the pizza at Mulberry Street Pizzeria is outstanding. Yes, the days of the cheap buffets that were once a Las Vegas trademark, are long gone. News arrived this past weekend that Jerry Martin had died. There were no details; merely that he had passed away. He would have turned sixty-eight on the 28 th of this month.

He turned pro in Philadelphia in without the benefit of any amateur experience and compiled a record of Eight of those wins had come inside prison walls including a win over future champ Mustafa Muhammad, then known as Eddie Gregory.

Russell Peltz would number it among the highlights of his plus years in boxing. The next-highest-ranked boxer was Anthony Joshua at The study was keyed to social media metrics. Canelo has close to 18 million followers on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok and, according to SportPro, has generated more than million impressions on these platforms.

In reality, the list is an indication of potential rather than true marketing power. Canelo, now 31, turned pro at age 15 and has improved steadily throughout his career. He entered the ring to face Plant with a 38 KOs record, the sole loss coming against Floyd Mayweather eight years ago.
