Willie Nelson continues on-the-job advanced education In ring to prepare for future world title shot

(photo by Bob Barton / Rumble Time Promotions) ST. LOUIS (July 15, 2013) - World Boxing Council (WBC) No. 3-rated Willie "The Great" Nelson(21-1-1, 12 KOs) continued his advanced education in boxing on June 29, learning invaluable lessons in his HBO® debut fight against battle-tested Argentinian veteran Luciano Leonel "El Principito" Cuello (32-3, 16 KOs), whose only two previous losses as a professional were to world champions Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (TKO7) and Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. (DEC10). The 26-year-old Nelson, fighting out of Cleveland, strayed too often from his game plan, struggling for parts of three challenging rounds. He regrouped to earn a hard-fought victory by unanimous 10-round decision (97-93, 97-93, 96-94), successfully defending his North American Boxing Federation (NABF) 154-pound title, at MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods® Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. Despite not having his "A" game, like an ace baseball pitcher who wins without his best stuff, Nelson won a tough fight against an underrated opponent, overcoming adversity along the way like the world-class prizefighter he has become. "I tried to knock him out early to look better than Alvarez had," Nelson admitted, "and that's all on me.  I took him too lightly and he really came to fight.  I tried to outclass him, take him out in the first few rounds; now, I know that I can punch but I can't knockout everybody.  I should have stuck to the game plan and used a double jab and then come back with a right.  I was supposed to spin him so I wouldn't get caught by his left hook, but I didn't do what I worked on in the gym. I'll learn from this fight."      The 6' 3 ½" Nelson, whose 81" reach is freakish for a light middleweight, stayed too often in the pocket and essentially gave up his tremendous size advantage in an effort to put Cuello (listed at 5' 9 ½") to sleep early, as he did in his previous fight to Michael Medina (KO1). Never-the-less, he still defeated the WBC No. 13-rated challenger, who gave Chavez all that he could handle and more in their controversial 2009 fight, in which Chavez won a questionable 10-round decision (97-93, 96-95, 96-94) at home in Mexico. "I watched more videotape of Cuello than just his Alvarez and Chavez fights," said Jack Loew, who trains Nelson in Youngstown, Ohio. "I knew Cuello could fight and we were in for a tough fight.  We know that Willie can do better but it was a great learning experience for him. I know it'll make him an even better fighter. Don't forget, it wasn't perfect, but Willie won the fight fair and square on HBO. We didn't take a step backwards, not by any means, and he's ready right now to fight any of the top names in the light middleweight division.  There's no doubt in my mind that Willie will be world champion. "I thought he dominated when he did what he was supposed to do - use a double jab and come back with the right.  His second jab landed all night long but he wanted to bang-out his opponent early.  When Willie didn't throw his double jab, throwing only one jab at a time, Cuello blocked it and then snuck inside.  Willie has so much talent; he can box and punch.  He just can't go looking for a knockout like he did.  He needs to learn how to adjust better during a fight and listen to his corner.  This is like fine-tuning a car.  Everything is there and all we need to do is put it all together." Because most of the top light middleweights are committed to fights during the next few months, rather than wait for a major fight opportunity, Nelson will headline a local show, presented by Rumble Time Promotions and DiBella Entertainment, September 28 close to his adopted second-home of Youngstown at Packard Music Arena (tickets: 314.662.2000) in Warren, Ohio. "The top guys aren't available and we're not waiting for Willie to fight again," explained Rumble Time Promotions president Steve Smith, who co-promotes Nelson with Lou DiBella.  "We're going to keep him busy so he can continue to improve his skills.  We tried to get (WBC #1 rated Sergey) Rabchenko for this fight (June 29) on HBO but they turned it down.  "Willie was a little too overconfident and put too much pressure on himself to knockout Cuello quicker than Alvarez had in six rounds.  That's why Willie came out so fast. He's young and could have made things a lot easier, if he had just fought his fight.  He's a big puncher whose strong boxing skills enabled him to win a lot of amateur titles." Cuello was a relatively unknown, at least in the United States, but the Argentinian proved to be a rugged, albeit awkward opponent who is cut from the same mold as his countrymen, contemporary stars such as Sergio Martinez, Lucas Matthysee and Marcos Maidana.  Nelson was cut for the first time in his pro career, in fact, he suffered lacerations over both eyes (in the 3rd and 10th rounds), but he was fortunate to have one of the world's premier cut-men working his corner, Danny Milano, who kept the bleeding under control. Nelson displayed the heart and determination of a true champion down the stretch to win convincingly in his first HBO fight. "American fans didn't know how good Cuello is because he had never fought on U.S. television before," Smith added. "His close loss to Chavez was in Mexico tothe son of a Mexican legend. Willie solidified his position among the top-ranked light middleweight contenders in the world like (Miguel) Cotto, (Erislandy) Lara, (Alfredo) Angulo, (James) Kirkland, and (Vanes) Matirosyan."

Trainer Jack gives the Loew-down on Willie Nelson vs. Luciano Cuello on HBO

Willie "The Great" Nelson (R) cracks Michael Medina (photo by Bob Barton / Rumble Time Promotions)  ST. LOUIS (June 25, 2013) - North American Boxing Federation (NABF) super welterweight champion Willie "The Great" Nelson (20-1-1, 12 KOs) has a lot riding on the outcome of his HBO® fight debutthis Saturday night against Argentinian veteran Luciano Leonel "El Principito" Cuello (32-2, 16 KOs), at MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods ® Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.  The World Boxing Council's (WBC) No. 3-rated Nelson fights No. 13-ranked Cuello in the HBO opener (9:45 p.m. ET/PT start) on a special triple-header, promoted by DiBella Entertainment and K2 Promotions, that is headlined by World Boxing Association (WBA) International Boxing Organization (IBO) middleweight champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (26-0, 23 KOs) defending against former world title challenger Matthew "Mack The Knife" Macklin (29-4, 20 KOs).  IBO super middleweight title-holder Thomas "Tommy Gun" Oosthuizen (21-0-1, 13 KOs) faces Brandon "Flawless" Gonzales (17-0, 10 KOs) in the 10-round co-feature on HBO. Nelson vs. Cuello is being promoted by Steve Smith's Rumble Time Promotions and DiBella Entertainment, with whom Nelson recently resigned an exclusive three-year promotional contract. The 6' 4" Nelson, who an incredible 81" reach and only 6-percent body fat, plans to make a major statement on the network to position himself not only for return engagements on HBO, but his first world title fight as well.  Saul "Canelo" Alvarez is the WBC 154-pound champion, but he's committed to a September 14th mega-fight with Floyd Mayweather.  It's highly unlikely that the Alvarez-Mayweather winner would make a risky voluntary defense against an imposing physical specimen like Nelson. Team Nelson believes that Willie, who is also rated No. 14 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and No. 10 by The Ring Magazine, needs to become the WBC mandatory challenger in order to get his title shot.  An impressive win over Cuello could move Nelson closer to a fight against either of the fighters rated ahead of him in the WBC ratings, No. 1 Erislandy Lara and No. 2 Miguel Cotto, as well as one of the other world champions or top contenders. "I've been to the top of the mountain with Kelly (Pavlik) and know how this works," Nelson's trainer Jack Loew said.  "This fight, for Willie, is like the (Jose Luis)Zertuche fight for Kelly.  It got Kelly a high-profile fight on HBO against (Edison)Miranda and that fight got him his world title fight (Jermain Taylor).  With what's been happening lately in boxing, HBO is looking for fresh faces. All Willie has to do is follow the game plan like he did in his last fight against (Michael) Medina (impressive 1st round TKO).  Because of his freakish style, interesting storyline and likeable personality, Willie can be the new face on HBO. "We're not putting added pressure on Willie by talking about how important it is for him to win and win impressively.  He understands what this fight means for his career. Willie is ready to take the next step, starting this Saturday night.  He's prepared for this moment, in and out of the ring, and he's great shape for fight, mentally and physically." Cuello is the latest in a long line of outstanding Argentinian boxers such as Sergio Martinez, Lucas Matthysee and Marco Maidana.  Cuello's only career losses as a professional have been to two world champions, Alvarez (TKO6) and Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. (DEC10). "Cuello doesn't do anything special but he does nothing bad," Loew noted.  "He's a strong fighter who comes to fight.  He has decent pop but throws wild punches, looping lefts to the body and overhand rights to the head.  Cuello is a lot like Medina and any fighter who comes straight at Willie is good for us.  Watch for Willie's straight right hand down the middle like he hit Medina with." Nelson recently announced that he is dedicating Saturday's fight to honor the three Cleveland women - Amanda Berry,Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight - who were kidnapped, abused and held hostage for a decade until they were recently freed. Rival Boxing Gear has specially designed and made customized outfits for Willie and his corner-men - Nelson's trunks display "Cleveland 3" - and hand-made gloves. Tickets are currently on sale and are priced at $300, $200, $90 and $45.  Tickets may be purchased online at foxwoods.com by calling the Foxwoods' box office at800-200-2882, or in person at the Foxwoods' box office.  Tickets may also be purchased through any Ticketmaster outlet and online at Ticketmaster.com.

Loew has Nelson's back on climb to top

Willie "The Great" Nelson connects (photo by Bob Barton) ST. LOUIS (February 24, 2013) - Veteran boxing trainer Jack Loew has been to the top of the boxing mountain with former world champion Kelly Pavlik and now he's heading back there with rising star Willie "The Great" Nelson (19-1-1, 11 KOs), North American Boxing Federation (NABF) super welterweight champion, who makes his first title defense against Michael "El Magnifico" Medina (26-3-2, 19 KOs) in the 10-round co-feature on this week's ESPN Friday Night Fights, airing live (9 p.m. ET) from MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. DiBella Entertainment and 50 Cent's SMS Promotions are co-promoting this week's ESPN Friday Night Fights show. Nelson vs. Medina NABF title fight is being promoted in association with Steve Smith's Rumble Time Promotions, also Nelson's co-promoter with DiBella Entertainment. Nelson (19-1-1, 11 KOs), who is the top-ranked American in the World Boxing Council (WBC) ratings at No. 5, is coming off impressive back-to-back wins by 10-round decisions over a pair of previously unbeaten Olympians - two-time Cuban National champion Yudel Jhonson (12-1), on ShoBox, and previously unbeaten Virgin Islands-native and WBC Youth champion, John "Dah Rock" Jackson (13-1, 12 KOs), for the vacant NABF super welterweight title. Back in 2007, Pavlik got his first big break by stopping Edison Miranda in the seventh-round of an HBO Championship Boxing card in Memphis, headlined by Jermain Taylor and his decision victory over Cory Spinks. The nationally televised win positioned Pavlik for his next fight, in which he captured the World Boxing Council (WBA) and WBC middleweight titles by knocking out defending champion Taylor in the seventh round, propelling Kelly into stardom. Loew, respectfully, believes that Medina could be a stepping-stone for Nelson like Miranda was for Pavlik. "I know it's a waiting game, Loew said. "I've been there with Kelly. We waited until he got Miranda. Willie knows I've been there before and he trusts me in his corner. Medina is a tough, dangerous kid who has a golden opportunity fighting Willie. Medina is coming to fight but he's wide open, fighting a taller opponent (Nelson is 6' 4") who has a long reach (84"). If he does what he's told and follows our game plan, Willie wins hands down, probably by knockout." Medina, ranked No. 17 by the WBC, has been stopped only once, by Saul Roman. He now has a hot trainer, Eric Brown, working his corner as chief second. Brown, who is a top trainer at Freddie Roach's famed Wild Card Gym in Hollywood (CA), gained international attention last year for his work with world champions Peter Quillin and Paulie Malignaggi. "Jack can hold his own with any trainer in boxing," Smith commented. "In Willie Nelson, he has the best pure boxer he's ever worked with and Willie, a highly-decorated amateur boxer, in Jack, has a trainer who has proven his ability to develop a world champion. Jack has Willie sitting down on his punches and using his monstrous reach, working everything off his jab and throwing lethal body punches. Jack has Willie using every bit of his many God-given gifts. When I say Jack has turned Willie into a frightening, imposing fighter, I really mean it, because Jack has built Willie into a complete fighter. Willie's going to look like a million bucks too thanks Rival Boxing for designing Willie's new custom trunks. Team Nelson wants to thank Anthony and Russ for doing that." Gatorade Media Lab video link: http://vimeo.com/60297175 Nelson had nearly 250 amateur matches, losing only 22, highlighted by gold medal performances in the PAL National Championships twice and U.S. Under-19 Tournament. He has dramatically improved since he moved from his Cleveland home to train with Loew in the fighting town of Youngstown, Ohio, known for producing outstanding prize-fighters such as Pavlik, Ray Mancini, Tony Janiro, Jeff Lampkin, Greg Richardson and Craig Snyder. "Willie is like Bernard Hopkins in terms of always being in the gym and in top condition," Loew noted. "He makes my job easier by being that way. This is a big fight for Willie because the WBC dropped Vane Martirosyan from No. 2 in the ratings (for refusing to fight No. 1 contender Erislandy Lara in a rematch of their box-off that ended in a draw to become the mandatory challenger to champion Saul Alvarez) and Willie moved up to No. 5. Maybe a big win against Medina gets us up to No. 3. It's just a matter of time for Willie; I've been telling him no slip-ups, no mistakes at this stage.

Willie Nelson a Clear & Present Danger for Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez

(L-R) Trainer Jack Loew, Willie "The Great" Nelson, and his co-promoter Steve Smith ST. LOUIS (November 20, 2012) - The freakish physical attributes of North American Boxing Federation (NABF) Super Welterweight champion Willie "The Great" Nelson presents a clear and present danger, as well as a totally unique challenge, for World Boxing Council (WBC) 154-pound king Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (41-0, 30 KOs). Nelson(19-1-1, 11 KOs), the top-ranked American in the WBC ratings at No. 6, stands 6' 4" and has an 81" reach. The 5' 9" Alvarez has never fought anybody even remotely close to Nelson's size. In fact, in his six world title fights, the popular Mexican fighter's opponents have averaged 5' 9" with a 70 3/4" reach. The 5' 11" Kermit Cintron with his 74" reach is the tallest and longest-reaching foe Alvarez has fought to date. Rumble Time Promotions president Steve Smith, who co-promotes Nelson along with Lou DiBella (DiBella Entertainment), believes Nelson is ready to make some noise. "Willie's willing to fight the top super welterweights in the world. He is done ruining the dreams of top prospects, as he did in his last two fights, and is ready to wake-up the boring 154-pound division. Willie can deliver to the networks what boxing fans really want to see - excitement and action! He can be a fresh face for the public to enjoy, replacing the same old faces of recycled fighters that fans are tired of watching. This is Willie Nelson's time." Neither No. 1 ranked Erislandy Lara (17-1-2, 11 KOs) nor No. 2 Vanes "Nightmare" Martirosyan distinguished themselves as viable title contenders in their recent WBC title eliminator. The only thing more disappointing than it ending in a nine-round draw, due to a cut over Martirosyan's left eyebrow, resulting from an accidental clash of heads, was their overall lack of action. Lara and Martirosyan have been awarded a rematch by the WBC to determine its mandatory challenger for Alvarez,whohas been granted a voluntary defense option. Although Alvarez is reportedly eying a mega-fight in May against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Miguel Cotto or Sergio Martinez, if none of those fights are made, Nelson is ready, willing and able to accept that challenge. "If 'Canelo' was going to fight the winner of Martirosyan and Lara," Nelson's head trainer Jack Lowe said, "hands down, Willie would give him a much better fight than either of those two guys. That fight was disgusting, the most boring title eliminator I've ever seen. Neither kid wanted it. They were fighting for a big payday and world title shot but neither of them wanted to really fight. 'Canelo' is the champ and I'll give him his props, but Willie is next in line in the junior middleweight division. I've looked across the board, at all of the top boxing organizations, and there isn't a world champion or top 5-fighter we wouldn't fight right now. If not Alvarez, I'd like to see Willie in against Cotto, who has had his day, and I'd put him in against (Austin) Trouttonight. (Alfredo) Angulo, (James) Kirkland...those are the type of guys we'd like to fight." Nelson is coming off of impressive back-to-back victories by 10-round decisions over a pair of previously unbeaten prospects, two-time Cuban National champion Yudel Jhonson (12-1) on ShoBox, and WBC Youth champion John "Dah Rock" Jackson (13-1, 12 KOs), for the vacant NABF super welterweight title, on the September 15thSergio Martinez-Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. HBO Pay-Per-View event. The only fighters ranked ahead of Nelson in the WBC ratings, other than Lara and Martiosyan, are virtually unknowns in North America: 3. WBC Baltic championDamion Jonack (34-0-1, 21 KOs), of Poland; 4. WBC International titlist Emanuele Della Rosa (30-1, 8 KOs), of Italy; No. 5 European and WBC Silver champ Sergey Rabchenko (21-0, 16 KOs), of Bellarussia. Cleveland-native Nelson, who trains in Youngstown, Ohio with Loew, has a rich amateur pedigree having had nearly 250 matches, including title-winning performances in the PAL Nationals twice and Under-19 Tournament, and only 22 losses. Because of his freakish size for a junior middleweight, Nelson has been favorably compared to a right-handed Paul Williams, or a young Tommy Hearns. Nelson may not be as famous as his singing namesake, but Alvarez has never fought anybody like him, and boxing fans most certainly would be entertained by their contrasting styles and divergent body stature. "What's very interesting is that 'Canelo' was supposed to fight Paul Williams (who was paralyzed in motorcycle accident)," Loew added. "So, it's not like Alvarez won't take a fight against a guy with Willie's freakish stature. I thought Paul would have had an excellent shot of beating Alvarez, as long as he didn't get hit by a shot over the top. 'Canelo' is improving each fight but I don't think he is a superstar. If he'd fight Paul Williams with his style, why not give us a shot? If Willie had only 15-20 amateur fights, I wouldn't say he's ready for 'Canelo' right now, but Willie had more than 200 amateur fights and 21 in the pros. He's ready for Alvarez and confident."

Top prospect Willie Nelson on the road to Las Vegas for NABF super welterweight title fight with John Jackson

Willie Nelson (R) connects ST. LOUIS (August 30, 2012) - Boxing is a risk-and-reward business. A successful gamble this past May ultimately positioned top prospect Willie "The Great" Nelson(18-1-1, 11 KOs) against undefeated John "Dah Rock" Jackson (13-0, 12 KOs) on September 15 for the vacant North American Boxing Federation (NABF) super welterweight title. Nelson vs. Jackson will be part of the Sergio Martinez-Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.HBO Pay-Per-View event, presented by Top Rank and DiBella Entertainment, live from the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Last May, Nelson agreed to be a late replacement-on only 11 days notice to fight-for highly-touted, previously unbeaten Cuban fighter Yudel Jhonson (12-0) on ShoBox. Nelson dropped Jhonson in the second round en route to upsetting the 2004 Olympic silver medalist by way unanimous 10-round decision (97-92, 97-92, 95-94). Nelson's impressive victory propelled him into the World Boxing Council (WBC) ratings, in which, he is currently rated No. 11. "We saw an opportunity to beat a fighter everybody thought so highly of," Nelson said. "I took the fight knowing a win would get me back on the scene." A multi-gifted boxer from Cleveland, who is training with Jack Loew in Youngstown, Ohio, Nelson has been compared to a right-handed Paul Williams or a younger Tommy Hearns because of his freakish size-6' 4" with a 77" reach-for a 154-pounder. Nelson was a highly decorated U.S. amateur boxer who had nearly 250 matches, capturing many titles, including the PAL Nationals twice and Under-19 Tournament, while suffering only 22 losses. "Jackson had a decent amateur background in the Virgin Islands," Nelson remarked. "He supposedly can punch. I want him on the outside because I've been learning how to use distance with my height and reach advantages. Before, I just went in fighting, not taking advantage of being the bigger, taller fighter." Jackson, a 2008 US Virgin Islands Olympian, is the son of three-time, two division world champion Julian "The Hawk" Jackson (55-6, 49 KOs). Jackson, rated No. 17 by the WBC, is the reigning WBC Youth World super welterweight middleweight titlist. At stake for Nelson against Jackson is a higher ranking, which would move him closer to his dream of fighting WBC champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. I just take things fight by fight," the 25-year-old Nelson noted. "A win figures to put me higher in the ratings, but this is boxing and anything can happen. I focus on my fights, one at a time, and leave who I'll be fighting up to my promoters and the sanctioning bodies." Nelson is co-promoted by Rumble Time Promotions and DiBella Entertainment. "Willie earned this NABF title shot and world ranking with his strong performance against Jhonson," Rumble Time Promotions president Steve Smith commented. "This is a great opportunity for Willie to be showcased on one of the biggest shows of the year. I want to thank NABF president Joe Dwyer, who is a breath of fresh air to work with. "Willie has learned how to use his tremendous height and reach advantages from his trainer, Jack Loew, and he's much stronger working with his new strength-and-conditioning coach, Mike Bartos, who monitors Willie's daily workouts and diet. Willie Nelson is the most complete 154-pound fighter in the world, as well as every fighter's nightmare."

Trainer Jack Loew calls Hank Lundy overrated

Predicts KO victory for 'Dangerous' Dannie Williams
March 30 ESPN FNF at MGM Grand at Foxwoods


(Williams photo by Bob Barton / Rumble Time Promotions)


ST. LOUIS (March 20, 2012) - Veteran trainer Jack Loew believes North American Boxing Federation ("NABF") "Hammerin'" Hank Lundy (21-1-1, 11 KOs) is vastly overrated and predicts his dynamic lightweight, "Dangerous" Dannie Williams (20-1, 16 KOs), will stop Lundy in the March 30th ESPN Friday Night Fights' 10-round main event at MGM Grand at Foxwoods in Mashantucket, Connecticut.

"Lundy is a very good, slick fighter," the outspoken Loew said from Williams' training camp in Youngstown (OH). "But he's so overrated. I applaud his promoter and management team for picking good opponents for him to look good against. (John) Molina may be the only lightweight more overrated and he stopped Lundy. I don't care if he was ahead; Lundy lost that fight and was knocked out. I've been a fan of two-time world champ David Diaz but he was a shot fighter a year before he fought Lundy. Diaz was a good champion but he was never a big puncher, yet, he hurt Lundy, a slick fighter who can box but isn't a big puncher either.

"I think it's going to be a good fight for three, four rounds, until Lundy feels Dannie's power. Dannie's going to pressure him from the start. Lundy will fold and Dannie will take him out. I can't see it going past seven rounds and, if Dannie catches him, it could end in three. Dannie's going to come out firing and ready to fight 10 strong rounds, if needed. Once we get this fight behind us, we'll be off to bigger and better things."

Williams, No. 9 in the latest World Boxing Council ("WBC") ratings, is the mandatory challenger for NABF champ Lundy, who is rated No. 4 by WBC, as well as No. 7 by the World Boxing Organization ("WBO") and No. 12 by the International Boxing Federation ("IBF").

Rumble Time Promotions and DiBella Entertainment co-promote Williams, the 27-year-old from St. Louis who now lives in trains in Youngstown. "He'll have a lot more fans there from Youngstown than Lundy who lives (Philadelphia) a lot closer to Foxwoods," Loew added. "This camp has been much different than any others because Dannie is so focused. The winner of this fight goes up in a lightweight division that's already loaded. Camp has been a dream for a coach because I have a hungry kid who trains and runs hard every day."

Loew also feels that Williams' boxing ability is underrated and Lundy's constant trash-talking is for a reason. "You don't win as many amateur titles as Dannie without being able to box," he explained. "Punching is natural: you either can or can't. Dannie's an extremely big puncher with power in both hands. He can really hurt you. All I keep hearing about is how Lundy's going to take away Dannie's right. He'd better watch out for both hands.

"I've been there with Kelly (Pavlik), when he fought Edison Miranda and Jermain Taylor, and they acted like we weren't even there. Some boxers need to talk for their self-confidence. Dannie's been quiet other than to say he's going to take it to Lundy. Dannie's confident. Lundy has been shooting his mouth off, so, I guess that's what he needs to do for his self-confidence."
