Boxing promoters have been busy signing fighters in recent days, and that includes Greg Cohen, who signed welterweight Rico Mueller days before he participates in a world title elimination bout.Mueller (20-1-1, 14 KOs), 28, of Germany, is scheduled to fight Australias Jeff Horn (14-0-1, 9 KOs) on Friday at the Sleeman Sports Complex in Queensland, Australia.With welterweight world titleholder Kell Brook likely to vacate the belt to fight at junior middleweight after he recovers from injuries suffered in a middleweight title shot against Gennady Golovkin last month, the Mueller-Horn winner likely would face mandatory challenger Errol Spence Jr. for the 147-pound belt.Big things are happening in my career and I need the right representation to help guide my career, Mueller said. Greg Cohen Promotions has a long history of moving their fighters to the championship level, and Im happy to be on board.Said Cohen: Boxing has obviously undergone a shift, with a large percentage of its talent now located in Europe. Im honored and happy that Rico recognized my company for its focus on world talent, and I will work hard to put him in the big fights. Hes an excellent fighter with the right work ethic to become world champion.Rico is tough [against Horn] and he knows the challenge in front of him, but hes a tremendous talent and I see him rolling along to an impressive victory. After that, itll be a world title shot against Kell Brook or Errol Spence and a shot at boxing stardom. Im happy to be a part of this huge time in his career.Also, Tom Brown of TGB Promotions announced the signing of 30-year-old Ukrainian heavyweight Iago Kiladze (24-1, 16 KOs), who lives in Los Angeles and is trained by Joe Goossen, one of boxings top trainers and Browns brother-in-law.Were excited to start working with Iago, Brown said. Hes a very hard-working fighter who is looking to make his mark in the heavyweight division. Hes been training with Joe and theyve really formed a great fighter/trainer relationship.Kiladze has won four fights in a row since a suffering his lone loss, a second-round knockout to cruiserweight contender Youri Kalenga in Germany in 2013.Joe has been great to work with, Kiladze said. Ive learned so much this year, and now that Im working with TGB Promotions, I look forward to the next chapter of my career in the heavyweight division.In another heavyweight signing, GH3 Promotions has added prospect John Luna (2-0, 1 KO), 20, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to its stable.I have known about John for a while, and he is a big kid with a lot of skills, GH3 Promotions CEO Vito Mielnicki said. He is another fighter who fits in to what we are looking to do and with his amateur pedigree, and we think we have a future heavyweight champion.Luna, who is 6-foot-4, 255 pounds, was 97-9 as an amateur and has been boxing since he was 6.I signed with [manager] Henry [Rivalta] because he is a great man and I trust him. He mentioned GH3 Promotions and I researched them, and they have a lot of good young talent, Luna said. I feel this is the right way to go.Said Rivalta: John has a very exciting style. He has fast hands he switches between orthodox and southpaw, and he has a lot of potential. He is a humble kid and he listens. When you have a kid like that, he has the potential to go a long way, and I am proud to sign him with GH3 Promotions.Cheap Nike Acg Boots For Sale .

Nike Sb Shoes On Sale . LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St.WIMBLEDON -- There came a point Monday when you wondered whether Steve Johnson might have thought, OK, now I get it.Johnson denied any intimidation going into his match against Roger Federer, whom the former two-time NCAA champion idolized growing up. But not until facing the lethally precise and efficient manner in which Federer can take apart an opponent did the 26-year-old appreciate how overwhelming the task of playing him can be.You realize when he hits these shots and finds his way out of tricky situations with such ease, thats just what he does and why hes arguably the best ever, said Johnson, who fell to Federer 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 in 1 hour, 37 minutes.With hopes that he would join his close friend and part-time doubles partner Sam Querrey in the quarterfinals -- which would have marked the first time more than one American man has gone that far here since 2011 -- Johnson never threatened the seven-time Wimbledon champ.I feel like his level is as high as ever, Johnson said.The prevailing theory going in was that Johnson, ranked 29th, might have had a chance if he used his power to neutralize Federer with his forehand and serve, while taking advantage of his athletic ability to at least stay in the match.Instead, Federer dictated points, hitting 35 winners and only 13 unforced errors. He converted five of 10 break-point opportunities and 33-of-40 net points.Federer broke Johnson twice in the first set and answered Johnsons sole break in the third -- only the second time Federer has lost serve in the tournament. Federer then broke again to go up 6-5 and spoil any notion the American would soomehow rally back.ddddddddddddI think it was by far my best match, said Federer, showing no effects of the back injury that kept him out of the French Open.With the victory, Federer, 34, accumulated a few more records, most notably tying Martina Navratilova for the most Grand Slam singles wins by a man or woman at 306 against just 50 losses.He also equals Jimmy Connors Wimbledon Open era record with his 14th quarterfinal appearance.With Novak Djokovic out of the tournament, Federers chances of becoming the first man to win an eighth Wimbledon title is increasing steadily, according to Ladbrokes. As of Monday, Federers odds were 7/2, second to only Andy Murray (10/11).Federer, the highest-ranked player in the top section of a draw, has yet to drop a set in four matches. But Wednesday, he should face his strongest challenge yet in No. 9 Marin Cilic, who also expended little effort in getting past No. 5 Kei Nishikori, 6-1, 5-1 (ret.) in just 45 minutes.Federer practiced with Cilic when he arrived at Wimbledon and said it was a good indication of what he can expect next.He was playing great, Federer said. [It was] 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, serving, boom, forehand, serving, boom, backhand. Hes very aggressive. He blew me off the court at the [2014] US Open. I know what Im getting into.Hes really tough to play. Hes really improved his serve in the last few years, especially since US Open. Ive never seen him serve that consistently well. He can clearly do it here at Wimbledon, too. ' ' '
