New Opponents Named For Kenneth Sims Jr. & Stephon Young In ShoBox Quadrupleheader Live At 10 p.m. AGUS/PT From Bally’s Atlantic City Hotel & Casino
NUA-EABHRAC (Jan. 9, 2017) – The previously announced matchup between undefeated WBA ranked No 3-ranked super bantamweight Adam Lopez and the WBA’s No. 4-rangaithe Danny Roman has been elevated to a 12-round title eliminator for the WBA (rialta) Super Bantamweight belt held by Nehomar Cermeno.
Lopez (16-0-1, 8 Kos) and Roman (20-2-1, 7 Kos) will square off in the most significant fight of their careers in the main event of a ShoBox: An Giniúint Nua quadrupleheader ar Dé hAoine, Jan. 20, beo ar Showtime (10 p.m. AGUS/PT, moill ar an Chósta an Iarthair) ó Bally’s Atlantic City Hotel and Casino.
Lopez is a classic example of a ShoBox prospect-turned-contender. Tá sé 3-0-1 on the series, having defeated three previous unbeaten boxers. Roman has won 13 in a row dating to March 2014, and none of the fights have been close.
“I am excited that this is an elimination bout and I am one step closer to fighting for a world championship,"A dúirt Lopez. “Very few fighters ever get a chance to fight for a title, and I’m not going to let it slip away. It’s a huge motivator, and the stakes are higher. I am fighting for a chance to fight a guy in Cermeno who is 37 and maybe past his prime. So if I win on Eanáir 20, I feel I will win against Cermeno. He is beatable, and that is the perfect opponent to become a world champion. After I beat Roman, Cermeno will pass the torch to me.”
Said Roman: “This is what we’ve been working toward since day one. A shot at a world title is every boxer’s dream. I can’t speak for Adam, but the stakes have never been higher for me. Beating Adam is the only thing on my mind.”
