ATLANTIC CITY (Jan.17, 2017) — Dan il-ġimgħa lejl, WBA No. 3- ranked super bantamweight Adam Lopez (16-0-1, 8 Tal-KO) takes on No. 4-iggradata Danny Roman (21-2-1, 7 Tal-KO) fil-każ prinċipali ta ' ShoBox: Il-Ġenerazzjoni Ġdida card at Ballys Atlantic City Hotel and Casino.
Il-ġlieda, which is a WBA Title Elimination bout, will headline a tripleheader Live on SHOWTIME® li tibda fl 10 PM ET/PT.
Lopez ta 'San Antonio, Texas għandha rekord ta ' 16-0-1 ma 8 knockouts, and he will be making his fifth appearance on ShoBox.
“My training camp went great. Inħoss qawwija, and I have prepared for whatever Roman brings,” Said 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,” 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. Ma 'dak being said, 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 għada. I am going to put on a great show and I think, I will come out with the victory.”
