ATLANTIC CITY (Jan.17, 2017) — Questo Venerdì notte, Numero WBA. 3- ranked super bantamweight Adam Lopez (16-0-1, 8 KO) takes on No. 4-classificato Danny Romano (21-2-1, 7 KO) in caso principale di un ShoBox: La nuova generazione card at Ballys Atlantic City Hotel and Casino.
La lotta, which is a WBA Title Elimination bout, will headline a tripleheader Live on Showtime con inizio alle 10 PM ET/PT.
Lopez di San Antonio, Texas ha un record di 16-0-1 con 8 ko, and he will be making his fifth appearance on ShoBox.
“My training camp went great. Mi sento forte, and I have prepared for whatever Roman brings,” , ha detto Lopez.
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,” ha detto Lopez. “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,” ha detto Lopez. “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 questo detto, 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 domani. I am going to put on a great show and I think, I will come out with the victory.”
