“Fight Night at the Bay” บัตร, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, will be held at Marina Bay Sportplex in Quincy, แมสซาชูเซต.

Former New England. แชมป์มวยปล้ำ Derek Silveira (12-1, 6 คอส), fighting out of Salem (แมสซาชูเซต), จะได้พบกับอดีตผู้ท้าชิงตำแหน่งระดับโลก ไมเคิล “เลือดเย็น” คลาร์ก (44-16-1, 18 คอส) ในกิจกรรมหลักแปดรอบ.

She lost a pair of vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) Super Welterweight title fights to a Pole in Poland, Swede in Sweden. Last September, Lopes lost a 10-round decision to Ewa Piatkowska (9-1) ในโปแลนด์; she dropped a 10-round majority decision in Sweden to Mikaela Lauren (22-3) ใน 2014. ใน 2013, Lopes lost a 10-round unanimous decision in Rhode Island to Tori เนลสัน (6-0-3) for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) World Welterweight Championship.

Lopes has also defeated world champions Yvonne Reis และ 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 (U.S.) 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 Clarissa Shields และ Katie Taylor, women boxers who’ve made names in the Olympics, keep turning pro. อแมนดา Serrano has gotten some good exposure fighting on television, เกินไป. We’ve had to travel for world title fights but, หวังว่า, things are changing for the better.”
