Former New England. אלוף welterweight Derek Silveira (12-1, 6 קוס), fighting out of Salem (תואר שני), יפגוש מתמודד תואר עולמי לשעבר מיכאל “דם קר” קלארק (44-16-1, 18 קוס) באירוע המרכזי של שמונה הסיבובים.

Poland-native Lopes (17-4-2, 1 KO), fighting out of Marshfield (תואר שני), is a 37-year-old lawyer who practices in Brockton (תואר שני). She lost a pair of vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) Super Welterweight title fights to a Pole in Poland, Swede in Sweden. ספטמבר האחרון, Lopes lost a 10-round decision to Ewa Piatkowska (9-1) בפולין; she dropped a 10-round majority decision in Sweden to Mikaela Lauren (22-3) ב 2014. ב 2013, Lopes lost a 10-round unanimous decision in Rhode Island to טורי נלסון (6-0-3) for the vacant International Boxing Association (רשות השידור) World Welterweight Championship.

The highlight of Lopes’ 8 ½-year professional career, עד כה, is her 10-round complete shutout (100-90 X 3) decision victory, יולי 30, 2016, ל Szilvia Szagbados (13-6) בפלימות ' (תואר שני) for the vacant WBC Silver female welterweight crown. Lopes has also defeated world champions Yvonne Reis ו Kali Reis.

Lopes vs. Garland has world title fight implications for the winner. “I’d like to position myself for one more world title shot,” Lopes said. “I’m still learning every fight and I haven’t reached my plateau yet. Garland has good experience, she’s been around as long as I’ve been fighting. I can’t afford to lose this fight, but I’ve always had that in the back of my mind. I need an experienced opponent like her to push me, to learn something new, and I always like to fight at home.

“It’s tough to fight here (לָנוּ.) for a world title. You almost always need to travel overseas. We’re limited here because of the required purse (for the defending champion to come to the states) and sanctioning fees for promoters in America. Women’s boxing is more popular in Europe, Mexico and parts of South America. But I have had a very good run and great relationships with New England promoters, who’ve put me on their cards.

“I think women’s boxing maybe, just maybe, will start changing if the trend continues as fighters such as קלריסה שילדס ו קייטי טיילור, women boxers who’ve made names in the Olympics, keep turning pro. אמנדה סראנו has gotten some good exposure fighting on television, מדי. We’ve had to travel for world title fights but, hopefully, things are changing for the better.”
