La Flint, Miĉigano-indiĝeno neniam lasis ke tenu lin malsupren kiam li tenis gajni batalojn kaj labori sian vojon supren la profesiaj vicoj. Je 2014 Li gajnis sian unuan ĉampionecon kiam li venkis defendanta ĉampiono Sakio Bika. He will be looking to impress as he takes on the tough and rugged Rubio on Septembro 6.
The 35-year-old Rubio is one of the most experienced fighters around and will look to add another big name to his list of victims throughout his 16-year career.

Born in Durango, Meksiko, he will be fighting close to home when he enters the ring in Corpus Christi.

In that fight, McDonnell survived an early knockdown at the hands of Kameda and used his length and activity to earn the decision victory.
Kameda announced his arrival stateside after a vicious knockout over Pungluang Sor Singyu in July 2014 En Las Vegas. KE knokaŭto estis Kameda’s dua bantamweight titola defendo post kiam li gajnis la zonon de Paulus Ambunda je 2013 after spending most of his career fighting in his native Japan and Mexico. The 24-year-old followed up his U.S. debuti kiam lin venkis Alejandro Hernandez en Chicago tra fenda decido. He will look to prove that he should have been awarded the decision against Jamie McDonnell in their first fight on Majo 9 Batalo.

OPEN LETTER FROM JOHN O’DONNELL TO SAM EGGINGTON
O’Donnell says “Man Up Sam and don’t be a bottle job”
Dear Sam,
I am writing to openly challenge you to defend your titles against me on October 17Th. I fully appreciate that you may not want to do this as you know you will lose and will want to pick an easy touch but man up and at least when you lose you will have shown you’re a fighting man!
As it stands I am going to have to beat the guy who beat you, Dale Evans, in an eliminator for the British title. You know I will beat Dale and probably you will find an excuse to vacate when this happens rather than face me.
Sam it’s all about levels and I am levels above you. I will take you to school and give you a boxing lesson but at least you will learn from it.
You seem to lack an opponent for October 17Th. Ask your promoter Eddie to give my team a call. We are waiting for the phone to ring. I will even give you a rematch clause if you want to be beaten twice in a row.
You have done really well coming back and its great to see a young man progress but the time has now come to face a real contender, someone who is hungry to go all the way. Glenn Foot was too small for you, Joseph Lamptey was out of his depth and Shayne Singleton had a built up record.
I am a former Commonwealth champion. Man up Sam!
All the best
John

“It gives me great pleasure to help young and old prospects, men and women, chasing their dreams, grasping for an opportunity to transform their dreams into living reality,” King said. “Trevor Bryan is such a prospect seeking an opportunity to fulfill his dreams. Puto, Don King and SHOWTIME are giving him that opportunity to capture the imagination of the people onShoBox Sur Aug. 28. Tamen, Derric Rossy, a great challenger and ‘Dreambreaker’ is blocking the door to greatness. And Trevor Bryan has to fight like hell to get through that door. The fight will be the power of dreams. I urge all fight fans to tune in on ShoBox and don’t blink.’’
“We are excited to partner with Don King Promotions and ShoBox in bringing outdoor boxing to downtown Las Vegas,” said Derek Stevens, CEO/Owner DLVEC and the D Las Vegas. “The fight card features promising talent, which should make for an unforgettable event.”
Looking to establish himself in the United States heavyweight division, the talented but unproven Bryan of Pompano Beach, Fla., by way Albany, N.Y., is taking a huge leap in class against Rossy, of Medford, N.Y.
So how good of a prospect is Bryan, who turns 26 Sur Aug. 23? The former amateur standout
won five national championships in just 60 Amatoraj vicoj. While a close loss in the finals of a 2011 qualifying tournament kept him out of the U.S. Olimpikaj Elprovoj, the heavyweight gained valuable experience at Northern Michigan University under the tutelage of former U.S. Olympic Coach Al Mitchell.
Since his debut at 22 en novembro 2011, the 6-feet-4 Bryan has stayed active and registered 10 De lia 11 knockout victories in three rounds or less. Bryan, who knocked out outmatched Stacy Frazier in the second round last Junio 20, is excited for the opportunity to prove himself against a veteran heavyweight.
“On paper, it looks like it’ll be exciting and I’m definitely looking at it as a breakout fight for me,’’ Bryan said. “I feel excitement, not pressure. It’s time for people to start mentioning my name with the others. I’ve had a great training camp, I continue to feel confident with trainer Stacey McKinley and I feel strong, mentally clear and confident. I’m ready to roll.”
Bryan has gone eight rounds once but is intelligent enough to not overlook a dangerous veteran like Rossy.
“You can’t take an awkward, determined guy like Rossy lightly,” Bryan said. “He’s scored a couple of upsets, fought some guys he thought he beat, has ring experience and he’s been there against all kinds. Like me, I feel he’s kind of desperate in his own way and the guys who are the most desperate are the most dangerous.
“This guy can’t beat me but I expect a tough, tough fight. I know Rossy’s not coming to lie down. Me? I’m just a young fighter trying to make his way and looking to showcase my talents. It’s time to fight somebody tough.”
Rossy, 35, has never managed to get past journeyman/gatekeeper status and over that proverbial hump fight that catapults you to the next level.
Rossy has been in with former WBO heavyweight champion Ray Mercer, world-title contenders Eddie Chambers (Dufoje) Kaj Fres Oquendo and world-ranked contenders such as Viacheslav Glazkov in an 11-year career in which he seldom got the benefit of the doubt in tight fights. In his outing before last, Rossy dropped a highly controversial 10-round majority decision to 2008 Olympic bronze medalist and IBF No. 2-rated contender Glazkov (17-0-1) Sur Aug. 9, 2014.
“I’ve been dealt some unfortunate hands in boxing, results not coming my way, but I don’t sit and dwell on them,’’ Rossy said. “The bottom line is I can’t sit around and mope. I’ve got to win and leave no doubt in anybody’s mind. I feel like I’ve done that in many fights, but for some reason they think I leave doubt.”
One exception came in his last fight when Rossy registered an upset in a unanimous 10-round decision over previously undefeated, untested Akhor Muralimov (16-0, 13 KOs going in). Utilizing smart separation and his considerable height and reach, Rossy triumphed by the scores of 97-93 Kaj 96-94 Dufoje.
Rossy is looking for a similar performance against the undefeated Bryan.
“Bryan, I think he’s put together well,” Rossy said. “He’s a good boxer. It’s going be a good stylistic and action-packed fight. We’ll both try to establish our jabs. I think this is a formidable fight for both of us.
“Bryan has the pedigree to maybe be a heavyweight champion someday, but not now. In my eyes I feel he’s making a mistake, but anybody that fights me know they are looking at a war. I am a high-risk, low-reward kind of opponent. I’ve fought them all; Bryan is a little green in that area so we’ll see.”
Before becoming a pro boxer, Rossy was an All American high school football star who would go on to play at Boston College where he was an outstanding 248-pound defensive end. Hehad some pro tryouts but was seen as a “tweener,” too big for linebacker, too small to play end. So he turned to boxing and despite only 10 amateur fights won the 2004 New York Golden Gloves tournament, and turned pro in October of that year. Li iris 15-0 at the outset of his pro career before losing to Chambers the first time.
Juan Ubaldo Cabrera, who will take on Mike Gavronski En la ShoBox Co-#?efa?o, represented the Dominican Republic in the 2000 Kaj 2004 Olimpikaj Ludoj. The 36-year-oldmay best be known for defeating future world champion Johano Paskalo en route to taking the gold medal in the middleweight class in the 2003 Pan-American Games. During an excellent amateur career, Cabrera also brought home a silver medal in the 2002 Central American and Caribbean Games as a light middleweight.
Two years after his last appearance in the Olympics, #?E la #a?o de 26, he turned pro in October 2005 Kaj gajnita 13 of his initial 15 fights by knockout. Cabrera is coming off an eight-round unanimous decision victory over Tim Hall Sur la Deontay Wilder-Eric Molinaundercard last Junio 13 in Birmingham, Ala. Cabrera has been inactive recently – the win over Hall was his first fight in a year and only his sixth since July 2009.
