ATLANTIC CITY (Jan.17, 2017) — Este venres noite, WBA No. 3- ranked super bantamweight Adam López (16-0-1, 8 KO) takes on No. 4-clasificados Danny Roman (21-2-1, 7 KO) no evento principal dun ShoBox: A Nova Xeración card at Ballys Atlantic City Hotel and Casino.
A loita, which is a WBA Title Elimination bout, will headline a tripleheader Live on SHOWTIME® comezando o 10 PM ET/PT.
López de San Antonio, Texas ten unha marca de 16-0-1 con 8 nocautes, and he will be making his fifth appearance on ShoBox.
“My training camp went great. Eu me sinto forte, and I have prepared for whatever Roman brings,” dixo López.
He has scouted Roman very thoroughly; Lopez knows that he could be in store for a tough evening.
“In some fights he looks really good, and in some fights he looks good, but not as dominant as he does in others,” Lopez said. “Take his fight against Erick Ruiz. He looked really good in that fight, but in his last fight he fought Marlon Olea, who was undefeated but not as skilled, and I thought he should have taken him out. All in all he is a good fighter, and I am expecting a tough fight.”
With a win, Lopez will become the mandatory challenger for WBA Super Bantamweight champion Nehomar Cermeno, and he realizes that he has chance to be mentioned with the elite of the 122-pound division.
“This would be a life changing win,” Lopez said. “It would be privilege and a blessing to fight for the great title. I feel that because I have been on this stage now for the fifth time, it could be a little bit of an advantage. He has fought on some swing bouts before, but I know what to expect in the days leading up to Friday night. Con iso dito, ShoBox is a great platform for young prospects like me and can turn us into contenders. It has also raised my stature in terms of gaining more fans. A lot of people have seen me on SHOWTIME and it has got my name out there. This is a high stakes fight. I am putting all cards in and I am taking this as there is no mañá. I am going to put on a great show and I think, I will come out with the victory.”
