CHEATHAM COUNTY, TN (July 18, 2023) – Lightweight prospect, Ty “Short Fuse” Tomlin (14-1, 9 KOs) is ready to get back into the ring this Saturday, July 22, 2023, as he wraps up training camp for his upcoming fight against Abdel Sauceda (11-3, 7 KOs). The scheduled 8-round bout, promoted by Misfits Boxing in association with DiBella Entertainment, will take place at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium, just outside of Tomlin’s hometown of Cheatham County.

Here is what Tomlin had to say about his recent training camp, his upcoming matchup with Sauceda, fighting at home, and more.

On his recent training camp:

“I had a great camp, and everything is coming together. I feel like every part of my game is improving especially my ability to box from a distance. I’m using my feet more and I’m taking less hits in sparring. I’m in great shape and ready to put on a show for the fans.”

On his upcoming matchup against Sauceda:

“I feel confident that I’ll be able to be successful against Sauceda and showcase everything I’ve been working on in the gym. He’s coming off a couple of losses so I’m expecting him to come into the ring with nothing to lose. I’m prepared to go the distance if need be, but my thoughts are on ending the fight by knockout. Either way, I’m coming to win.”

On fighting in Nashville:

“I will have a lot of fans coming out to support me since I live just outside of Nashville. Cheatham County will be deep in the audience. Fighting at home is something I look forward to because of all the fans that come out to see me fight. I’m ready to bring home a victory for all my family, friends and fans that will be in attendance.”

On what a win will do for his career:

“A victory will give me the confidence needed to take my career to the next level. Right now, I’m working my way back to getting into a big fight. My promoter Lou DiBella is planning something big for me. I just need to put together a few wins to get back on track. A win against Sauceda will keep the momentum going.”

CHEATHAM COUNTY, TN (January 15, 2023) – The return of Cheatham County, TN, lightweight Tyler “Short Fuse” Tomlin (14-1, 9 KOs), was a success as he won an 8-round unanimous decision over Gustavo David Vittori (27-12-1, 12 KOs). The fight took place last night at The Bruce Convention Center, in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Tomlin won every round of the fight. Scorecards read 80-72 across the board.

“This is the start we were looking for, a good win over a tough opponent to start my year off right,” said Ty Tomlin, as he addressed the crowd after the fight. “I was gunning for the knockout, but this guy was tough, and he wasn’t going away. I hit him with some good shots, but credit to him, he took them and made it to the final bell.”

Tomlin is now looking to fight three to four more times, if possible, this year. His goal is to build his record up to 20-wins by the end of the year.

“I am hoping to stay active I would like to fight as much as possible,” continued Tomlin. “The good folks of Cheatham County have come out to support me in various cities, and I look forward to not just fighting here, but bringing the show on the road as well. This will be a busy year for me, and I am ready for whatever is in front of me.”

CHEATHAM COUNTY, TN (January 4, 2023) – Fresh off his motivational speaking engagements in his community, lightweight Tyler “Short Fuse” Tomlin (13-1, 9 KOs), of Cheatham County, TN, will face Donald “Bulldog” Ward (18-11-1, 8 KOs), of Memphis, TN. The bout scheduled eight-rounds will take place at The Bruce Convention Center, in Hopkinsville, Kentucky on Saturday, January 14, 2022. The event is presented by One One Six Productions, in association with DiBella Entertainment.

“I am ready to get my 2023 started off right in the right direction,” said Ty Tomlin, who at 23 years old, is ten years younger than his opponent. “I had a hard fight last time, but I am not dwelling on the past, I am looking toward the future. I have been out of the ring for six months and can’t wait to be back. I have a strong team, who hasn’t lost faith in me as a fighter, and this will be another major milestone in my career. As always, I’ll be gunning for a knockout.”

Tomlin is looking to rebound after a controversial stoppage last year but says that the past is the past.

“Look I could say a bunch of things about my last fight, but I’d rather get in the ring, and be a man of action,” said Tomlin. “I didn’t love the result, but everyone always says too much in boxing. Everyone says they got robbed, they were treated wrong – what I am going to do is constantly improve. I put all my frustrations into this camp so the fans can see the best version possible of Ty Tomlin. I am starting my new year off right with a fight, and I plan on being as active as I can possibly be.”

Tomlin promises an explosive night for those who are coming out to Hopkinsville, Kentucky.

“I know Cheatham County is a fight town, and I will see a lot of familiar faces on fight night, so I am going to do my part to entertain and make it worth their time to come out and see the show,” concluded Tomlin. “The love and support I get motivates me to be able to show the world where I’m from. My opponent, Donald Ward is a tough veteran, who has faced some top fighters. This is the type of fight I need right now in my career to show the world how serious I am about boxing at this point in my life.”

2021 Olympic Gold Medal Bakhodir Jalolov scored an emphatic eighth round stoppage over Jack Mulowayi in the eighth and final round of theri heavyweight bout at The Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New Yiork.

Jalolov, 251 lbs of Uzbekistan is now 11-0 with 11 knockouts. Mulowai, 242 lbs of Congo is 11-3-1.

“I’m feeling really good about the performance,” said the 27-year-old Jalolov. “The opponent was at a really good level and a great fighter. He was a really tough, durable guy. I landed some big shots on him and he can take a punch.”

“I thought I was going to stop him at the end of the sixth round when I dropped him, but the referee let him continue and the round was over,” said Jalolov, who was deducted a point for holding in the fourth round. “I thought that was the time. But I had to wait until the final round. I’m happy that I got the stoppage. I feel like I hurt him three or four times.”

Arias Defeats Green By Split Decision

In a battle of undefeated heavyweights, George Arias took an eight-round split decision over Alante Green .

Arias landed 81 of 383 punches; Green was 58 of 405.

“I definitely learned more than anything from this fight so I give my performance a C-plus or a B-minus because this is the type of fight that makes me go back to the gym hungrier and knowing there’s a lot more to do,” said Arias, who now lives and trains out of the Bronx. “But we were blessed this time because should he have been a little bit stronger, things could have been more disastrous.”

“Everyone who I face always trains for me a thousand percent better,” continued Arias. “He was real complete. He didn’t really necessarily have any weakness that I could exploit. The reaction time he had was really good and he had good inner footwork where it took me a little too long to get into a zone because every strategy I used he seemed to have a good reaction.”

Thonson Stops Tomlin in Five

In a battle of undefeated lightweights, Chann Thonson stopped Tyler Tomlin in round five of their eight-round bout.

In round one, Tomlin began to bleed over his left eye. Thonson won every round, and in round five, Tomlin’s eye became a bleeding mess and the fight was stopped at 1:01.

Thomson, 132 1/2 lbs of Montreal is 11-0 with eight stoppages. Tomlin, 134 lbs of Cheatem County, TN is 13-1.

“I knew if I stayed in the pocket with him that the shots I was going to give him would put him away,” said Canada’s Thonson, who is trained by former Olympic bronze medalist and light heavyweight contender Chris Johnson. “Surprisingly, he was a little tougher than I thought because when I hit him hard, he wasn’t taking a step back. So eventually I knew that would be his own demise and it was just a matter of time.”

“I feel fine, I feel like I was in the fight. I just got caught with two overhand rights and I’m pretty sure one of them either broke or fractured my nose,” said the 22-year-old Tomlin. “It was in the second or third round when I got caught. I felt and it threw off the game plan as far as what I was trying to do. I got a little more hesitant than I should have. I just can’t get hit by those overhand rights.  SHOWTIME, that’s what they do, they put good fighters against good fighters. I felt like I was going to come out on top but we have to go back and watch film and see what comes next.”

I’ve learned a lot over the past few camps and I’m feeling great going into this fight.”

“I am glad I could give the fans an exciting fight and I feed off the energy of the crowd – this was a special moment in my career,” said Tomlin after getting an exciting knockout in front of a sold-out crowd. “I’ve been telling people that Cheatham County is a fight town, and we are showing the world how much we love fights as the energy in this arena rivaled that of any PPV fight.”
