A capacity crowd of 1,700 rocked the vintage venue from start to finish.

Carita (16-1-1, 15 קאָס), fighting out of Pembroke (מאַ), unleashed a relentless body attack on his Brazilian foe, Domingos (22-7, 20 קאָס), who was unable to answer the bell for the second round due to damaged ribs.
I was hoping to get in more rounds but unfortunately I didn’t get ’em הייַנט בייַ נאַכט,” Carita (pictured to the right) קאַמענטאַד. “Based on his record, I thought he’d be more competitive, but that fell short. I keep stepping up (quality of his opponents) but they haven’t lasted with me.
Matt Remillard (ר) was home once again in the ring.
The feel-good story of the evening was the long awaited return of Manchester (קאָרט) לייטווייט מאַט “Sharp ShooterRemillard (24-1, 13 קאָס), who was incarcerated five years and hadn’t fought in six. Remillard pounded his opponent, Augustine “גרויזאַם” מאַוראַ (6-2-3 3 קאָס), whose toughness showed throughout the contest as Remillard pounded his Lawrence (מאַ) opponent to the body and head en route to a eight-round unanimous decision (80-71, 79-72, 78-73) אין די גלויבנס-שטריך. Mauras was deducted a point in the fourth round for headbutting.
I was a little rusty but I got better as the fight went on,” Remillard said. “He’s a tough kid who was slippery inside. If the fight went a little longer, I think I would have gotten him out of there.
Worcester heavyweight Bryan Daniels (4-0, 2 קאָס) געבליבן ונדעפעאַטעד, dropping “געלט” מייק סויער (7-8, 5 קאָס) four times in the opening round, the last coming on the end of a vicious left-hook, resulting in referee מייק רייאַן immediatelty stopped the contest without counting.

Hartford junior welterweight Anthony Laureano (3-0, 2 קאָס), אַ 2016 ניו ענגלאַנד גאָלדען גלאָוועס מייַסטער, continued to impress with a third-round technical knockout victory over battled-tested upstate New Yorker ברייאַן “The Brick” אברהם (6-25-1, 6 קאָס).
Hot junior welterweight prospect “ווונדערלעך” Mykquan Williams (6-0, 4 קאָס), the 18-year-old high school senior from Manchester (קאָרט), lived up to his nickname with an explosive first-round knockout of Mexican veteran fighter ישראל “TigreRojas (10-16, 3 קאָס).

Undefeated Justin Hurd added to non-televised card on Friday, April 14th at The Theater at MGM National Harbor in National Harbor, מאַרילאַנד

טיקקעץ אויף פאַרקויף איצט!
נייַ יארק (מאַרץ 31, 2017) – ונדעפעאַטעד יינגער מידדלעוועיגהט, Justin Hurd has been added to the non-televised undercard on Friday night, April 14th at MGM National Harbor in National Harbor, מאַרילאַנד, just outside of Washington, ד.ק.

Super bantamweight prospect Glenn Dezurn will meet unbeaten two-time national amateur champion Leroy Davila in the eight-round telecast opener live on שאָוטיים (10 פּ.ם. און/פּט) .
טיקקעץ פֿאַר די געשעעניש, which is co-promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions and Banner Promotions in association with World of Boxing and Uprising Promotions, זענען פּרייסט בייַ $103, $73 און $48 and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com אָדער דורך טעלעפאָנירן בייַ 800-745-3000.
Hurd of Accokeek, מאַרילאַנד האט אַ רעקאָרד פון 2-0 מיט איין נאַקאַוט, and is the brother of current IBF Junior Middleweight champion, דזשאַררעטט כערד.
די 23 year-old Justin Hurd had an 18 bout amateur career, and like his brother, he is trained by Ernesto Rodriguez.
My training has been great I have been staying ready, and I am excited to fight at MGM National Harbor. I expect to have a lot of fans at the fight,” האט הורד.
Being around an accomplished brother, Hurd is grateful for the success that Jarrett has achieved and has learned a lot from the journey that garnered Jarrett a world title.
Jarrett has opened a lot of doors, but when people see us fight they will see that our styles our different. ער האט מאַכט, and I go by the name of “גליטשיק” Justin Hurd. I like to use my combinations and I show my quickness.
That is a sentiment that trainer Rodriguez echoes.
Justin is different then Jarrett. He uses hand-speed, Jarrett uses his size. You will see that Justin fights in much of the same manner of Meldrick Taylor, and he mixes in some deceiving power,” געזאגט ראַדריגעז. “Justin is electric, and is calculating with good reflexes. He will be a force to be reckoned with. He is fighting at 154 pounds now, but we will slowly be taking him to 147.
Justin Hurd considers himself a real student of the game and has followed the advice of both his big brother and trainer.
What I have learned by watching Jarrett go through his run is to listen to our trainers. I learned that my trainers tell us what to do for good reason. מיט אַז אין גייַסט, I just am ready to put on a show and am grateful to be added to the card on April 14th.”
Hurd joins Hasim Rahman, קינג, Ruben Villa and Michael Dutchover on the non-televised undercard.

“קאָ נאַכט באָקסינג: History Begins
Encore presentation דעם שבת night on CBSSN

(photo by Charles Yellowfeather)
WICHITA, קאַנסאַס (מאַרץ 31, 2017)Last Saturday night at Kansas Star Arena in nearby Mulvane, 2016 Olympic bronze medalist ניקאָ הערנאַנדעז planted a seed in hopes of growing Wichita into a fight town, as world champions טערענסע Crawford און דעאָנטייַ ווילדער have already accomplished in the respective hometowns, Omaha (ניי) and Birmingham (על).
מער ווי 3,100 fans purchased tickets Hernandezsuccessfully professional debut, סטאָפּפּינג Pat Gutierrez אין דער פערט קייַלעכיק. To put that attendance figure in its proper perspective, Wichita has a population of less than 400,000 and in this hoop-crazed state, the appropriately named “קאָ נאַכט באָקסינג: History Beginswent head-to-head with the popular Kansas Jayhawks quintet playing on national television in the Elite Eight of the NCAA college basketball championship, as well as The Wichita Force playing at home in indoor football.
The 21-year-old Hernandez is practically a sports franchise in Wichita, second only to the Wichita State University (WSU) men’s basketball team. The city turned out in force at a parade honoring Hernandez upon his return home from the Olympics and WSU awarded him an open-ended four-year college scholarship.
“קאָ נאַכט באָקסינג: History BeginsEncore Presentation דעם שבת נאַכט
The encore presentation of last Saturday’s “קאָ נאַכט באָקסינג: History Begins,” featuring the pro debut of 2016 Olympic Bronze medalist Nico Hernandez, וועט לופט דעם שבת (אַפּריל 1), סטאַרטינג בייַ 8:30 פּ.ם. און, on CBS Sports Network.
The show was a huge success and Nico, as a pro fighter, produced a more complete body of work than we had expected,” הערנאַנדעז’ פאַרשפּרייטער John Andersen (קאָ נאַכט באָקסינג) האט. “I was very impressed. His amateur background converted to an even better pro style. It really showed his potential and that’s one of the primary reasons we signed him. We really believed in Nico. He is the only fighter we have signed, רעכט איצט; Nico is our stable! We see things from a different angle than big-time promoters. We understood that he’s a hometown hero, so we had him headline at home his pro debut on national television (קבס ספורט נעטוואָרק). We produce our shows on television and we enjoy telling stories like Nico’s. We’d like to come right back to Wichita with Nico fighting in June.
Lifelong Kansas שאָן כווילאַק, a non-paid member of the Kansas Athletic Commission that oversees boxing, in addition to calling last Saturday’s fights as a member of the KO Night Boxing announcing team on CBS Sports Network, has a unique perspective on the significance of last Saturday evening’s in terms of local boxing history.
It was huge for Kansas boxing,” Wheelock explained, “the biggest show in this state since the Tommy Morrison Era (early-to-mid 1990’s). Morrison was an adopted son, כאָטש. Nico was born here and he has a deep investment in the Wichita community. Drawing 3000-plus for his pro debut, in a non-boxing market, was phenomenal and he has the potential to do what Crawford has done in Omaha and Wilder in Birmingham. Boxing has strong roots in Kansas and across the Midwest, but MMA has taken over and lately, most boxing in Kansas has been on hybrid shows with MMA and kickboxing.
Fans were loudly chanting, ‘Nicoand ‘316’ (Wichita’s area code) פריער, during and after his fight. I’ve never heard fans chanting for a city like they did, ‘Wichita’, for an individual athlete. And they were also chanting ‘USA’. As a native Kansas, I’m proud that this state has become more ethnically and culturally diverse with more Hispanics living in Wichita. Nico is engaged in the Hispanic community and he is a fantastic kid, צו. Because of his personality and fighting style, he can draw locally from Wichita, throughout all of Kansas, and nationally among Hispanics and Americans across the country because of his accomplishment in the Olympics.
Hernandez is also fighting in one of the hottest divisions in boxing — 115-pound junior bantamweight/super flyweightshowcasing name fighters such as Naoya Inoue, Roman Gonzalez, קאַרלאָס בלאַקס, Juan Francisco Estrada and recent addition Srisaket Sor Rungvisai. Conspicuously absent, אָבער, are top 20 ranked American fighters in this weight class, excluding 36-year-old Brian Viloria, the four-time, two-division (junior flyweight and flyweight) וועלט מייַסטער. The opportunity is right there for Hernandez to quickly establish himself as the preeminent American boxer in this weight class.
There’s no reason for Nico to fight outside of Wichita for a couple of years as he develops,” Andersen noted. “I feel that he can win a regional title next year. Our goal is to have him in a world title fight position within three years. Our goal is to get him 13 צו 15 fights and then promote a super fight in Wichita. He started out in a six-round fight. I think he’ll only have a couple more and then move up to eight-round bouts.
Nico doesn’t waste a lot of punches, so the number of scheduled rounds won’t be a problem for him. Another fighter would have punched himself out in two rounds, fighting at home in front of a crowed like he had supporting him, but Nico showed tremendous poise, settling down and putting his punches together very well. He didn’t chase Gutierrez, he effectively cut off the ring, and his powerful body attack was something he didn’t do as an amateur. We wanted to see how he reacted to resistance and he passed that test with flying colors.
Andersen noted that his company has promoted several successful shows, noting the big difference is last weekend’s show featured a world-class fighter in Hernandez. “Making the Olympics was a big deal for Nico,” Andersen added, “whether he medaled or not. Nico is to us what מאַני פּאַקקוויאַאָ is to Top Rank, ‘Canelo’ אַלוואַרעז to Golden Boy. We’re lucky to start out with a fighter like Nico. Fighting in Wichita was risk for everybody but it’s already paying dividends.
We know who and what we are as a promotional company. Nico is our top priority, our only fighter right now, and now we have a great opportunity to build off last weekend’s success. We give Nico all the attention he deserves and he’s going to take advantage of this situation. And we also discovered that there’s some other talented boxers in this market. Whit Hayden did a wonderful job making very competitive fights. That’s his history, he never has blowouts. Whit is one of the most knowledgeable people I know in boxing. He’s the perfect matchmaker to guide Nico’s career, along with Nico’s father (קאָפּ טריינער) לויס הערנאַנדעז, who we work closely with in many ways, in and out of the ring.

DAMIEN VASQUEZ FACES VETERAN LORENZO TREJO APRIL 1ST

לאַס וועגאַס, נוו (מאַרץ 31, 2017) – דעם שבת, אַפּריל 1, 2017, undefeated flyweight prospect, דאַמיען “צוקער” וואַסקעז (9-0, 4 קאָס), will step in the ring against Lorenzo Trejo (35-32-1, 22 קאָס), a veteran of sixty-eight fights. The 8-round main event, will take place at the Riverebend Sports Complex in Salt Lake City, UT.
דאַמיען, the nephew of former two-time super-bantamweight world champion, ישראל וואַסקעז, fights out of Las Vegas, נוו, with trainer, Bones Adams. אַדאַמס, a former super-bantamweight champion himself, feels Damien Vasquez has all the talent to follow in the footsteps of his uncle Israel.
Since I’ve been training with Damien, I’ve watched him grow as a fighter,” said ClarenceBones” אַדאַמס. “He’s getting better with each fight and I really believe he can win a world title someday. He definitely has the talent and work ethic to do so. He reminds me of his uncle Israel in many ways.
Facing a veteran like Trejo, is just the type of fight Damien is looking for. Vasquez wants to face fighters with a lot of experience.
I’m sure Trejo has a lot of tricks up his sleeve with all his experience,” said Damien Vasquez. “These are the type of fights I look forward too, where a young fighter like myself can learn a few things. I’m going to set the pace early, and go from there. By no means am I taking him lightly.
Vasquez’s father Oscar, has been in his sons corner from day one. He’s thrilled, knowing his son has progressed since his first pro fight.
I’m very proud of my son because I know how hard he works, and I can see the improvement after every fight,” האט Oscar Vasquez. “My brother and I always knew he had the talent to become a good professional boxer. I’m confident he’ll come out victorious against a tough veteran like Trejo.

Cherry of Wauchula, Florida has had a smooth camp while training in the Sunshine State and is ready for the 46th start of his professional start.
Everything is good, and we will be prepared for everything on אפריל 4,” said the 34-year-old Cherry.
“אויף אפריל 4, whatever Douglas brings, we will be prepared for. This is not the first time, that I’ve been in this position. He is the guy who has to prove he can perform. I have been there before, so the pressure is on him.
Cherry has been a top contender at both the 130 און 135 פונט דיוויזשאַנז, and he even challenged for a world title at 140 פונט. He believes there are many reasons that he has remained a viable contender who has only lost once in the last nine years and 13 פייץ.
I am motivated and I believe in myself,” האט קאַרש. “Those are the reasons that I am still here at the top of the 130 און 135 divisions. My family gives me drive every day. אפריל 4 will be another great fight. This is my job and I have to go out and do it well.
Cherry believes a win should gain him another crack at a world title.
A win definitely puts me ahead. It will open doors for better fights and better paydays. A title shot is what I want. But also a bigger money fight that will take care of my family.
Douglas has been training at home in Delaware, has been working hard for this fight, which could be a breakthrough fight on the heels of his narrow defeat to former world champion Javier Fortuna last November.
“אלץ איז גרויס. This has been a long camp. I have been getting great work,” האט דער 26- year-old Douglas.
I am the better fighter. I have known about him for a long time. I watched him a lot when he fought אויף פרייטאג נאַכט פייץ.”
That fight with Fortuna was a major step up, and Douglas had a lot of positive moments, as he dropped the former champion in the 1st round, only to lose by three points on two cards and one point on a third card.
The Fortuna fight let me know and let the people know that Omar Douglas is a world class fighter. Even in a loss, people did not expect me to do well. I thought that I showed a lot that night and I will carry that confidence into this fight on אפריל 4.”
Douglas believes that a win over Cherry is his path to a world title.
I think that it is time. I just happen to be crossing paths with Cherry. This fight makes sense for me. I will let people know that I am player at 130 פונט, and a win will earn me a title shot. I have shown that I will fight anyone. Look at the records of my previous opponents. Fortuna was 30-1 and one fight removed from being a world champion. Alexei Collado was 19-1; Frank De Alba was 17-1. So wins over those guys plus Cherry should have me right there, but I am focusing on Edner Cherry. He is a great veteran, אָבער אויף דינסטיק night I will be victorious.

PHILLY PROMOTER ARTIE PELLULO: “FLANAGAN-PETROV STEALS THE SHOW AND COULD BE FIGHT OF THE YEAR!”

פֿאַר באַלדיק מעלדונג

פילאדעלפיע, פּאַ / מאַנטשעסטער, וק (מאַרץ 30, 2017)–Legendary Philadelphia fight face Artie Pellulo lands in the UK early next week confident of adding a 45th world champion to his stellar CV.
די 61 year old Italian-American’s highly regarded lightweight Petr Petrov (38-4-2) makes a mandatory challenge to home hero ‘Turbo TerryFlanagan, the undefeated WBO king, at Manchester Arena אויף שבת week and he looks like being frantic. BT Sport and BoxNation screen live in the UK.
Last Wednesday, Glynn Evans spoke to the Philly-based promoter.
It’s been extremely difficult to find any background info regarding Petrov’s personality. Can you enlighten us?
I’ve been promoting fighters for almost 30 יאר, אַרייַנגערעכנט 44 world champions and I have to say that Petr is one of the nicer individuals I’ve come across; the type you’d have over your house. He’s just married the girl he’d been dating for a very long time. He’s a gentleman, a pleasure to work with.
Psychologically, how will he cope performing before thousands of baying Brits?
I’ve consistently gone on record as saying that the British fight fans are terrific. You’ll recall I had dealings with Ricky Hatton. They support their heroes like no other. But I guarantee that the crowd will not adversely affect Petrov.
Being on the road is actually like being at home for him because he’s never ever fought in Russia and hasn’t featured in his adopted homeland of Spain for five years. He’s won all six of his fights in the US and, before that, he competed in Germany, Argentina and Montenegro. I guarantee that facing a partisan crowd in Manchester will not affect his job. אין פאַקט, it will energize him, excite him.
And I’ve no problem whatsoever with the officials in the UK. Matter of fact, I won my first world title in Britain when Otis Grant outpointed Ryan Rhodes in his hometown of Sheffield for the vacant WBO Middleweight title way back in (דעצעמבער) 1997.
איידער אַז, my fighter Tyrell Biggs was officially ahead on the referee’s card before Gary Mason knocked him out on a Mickey Duff show at the Royal Albert Hall (אָקטאָבער 1989) and John Thompson was up on the cards before Liam Smith put him to bed at this very venue 18 months back. You always get a fair shake with the Brits.
What are Petrov’s qualities as a fighter?
I discovered him during his involvement in the ESPN Boxcino Lightweight tournament in early 2014 און, trust me, between the ropes, he’s the real deal. You only have to watch his tapes to appreciate that he’s relentless, smart, can box or punch and he’s blessed with a very good eye. Petr has a real understanding of what is going on in the ring at any given moment and he can adopt accordingly. He gives a 110% effort every time.
What is your assessment of champion Flanagan? What does Petrov need to be mindful of?
I was ringside the night Terry Flanagan hammered Diego Magdaleno in two rounds because John Thompson challenged Liam Smith that night and what I saw was a very, very good fighter. Terry’s a smart southpaw who’s very tough and keeps coming. קיין צווייפל, he’ll be looking to extend his very impressive unbeaten streak.
What course did you see the fight taking? What key factor will determine the winner?
This fight steals the show and could well be Fight of the Year, seriously. It’s that good a match up. Both Terry and Petr are TV friendly and fan friendly. It’s gonna be great theatre.
There’s no main factor that distinguishes one over the other. It’ll be about how two fighters at the very top of their games handle the pressure and stay with their game plan.

One of the most feared heavyweights in the world, Ortiz has worked his way into the WBA’s mandatory position to fight the winner of the Anthony Joshua-Wladimir Klitschko, who fight for Joshua’s IBF and the vacant WBA Super World Championship. The Cuban-born fighter had previously picked up the interim title in 2015 with a stoppage of Matias Ariel Vidondo and defended the title with a dominant knockout of former title challenger Bryant Jennings later that year. Last year saw Ortiz continue to run through heavyweight contenders as he earned TKO victories over Tony Thompson and David Allen plus a victory over Malik Scott.

 

Fighting out of Medford, ניו יארק, Rossy was a 2004 Golden Gloves champion and a defensive end for Boston College before turning pro in October 2004. Rossy owns victories over Axror Muralimov, Ray Mercer and Carl Drumond in addition to challenges top heavyweights Eddie Chambers, Vyacheslav Glazkov and Bermane Stiverne. This will be the ninth undefeated fighter that Rossy faces in his pro career.

 

Raised in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, Serrano gravitated toward boxing from watching her older sister Cindy, also a professional fighter. She picked the sport up quickly, אַמאַסינג אַ 9-1 record during a brief amateur career in which she won the New York Golden Gloves title in 2008. The 28-year-old would go on to fight all over the world, seizing her first world title in 2011 when she defeated Kimberly Connor to grab a super featherweight belt. אין 2014, she went to Argentina and defeated Maria Elena Maderna to become a world champion at lightweight. Her world title climb continued in 2016 as she stopped Olivia Gerula in the first round to capture her featherweight championship and followed that up with a victory over Alexandra Lazar to add a super bantamweight title to her collection. She most recently put on a show at Barclays Center in January when she defeated two-division champion Yazmin Rivas by unanimous decision.

 

דאָ איז וואָס די פּאַרטיסאַפּאַנץ זענען צו זאָגן דאָנערשטיק from Gallagher’s Steakhouse in Manhattan:

 

LUIS ORTIZ

 

“I’m not a man of many words, but yesterday was my birthday, so with that extra year of experience, I’ll speak a little bit more.

 

“I’m ready to fight right now. I’m waiting for the opportunity to fight the winner of Anthony Joshua vs. וולאַדימיר קליצטשקאָ. They better get ready, because ‘King Kong’ will be waiting for them.

 

“I work very hard to stay in shape. All year round I am in the gym and staying ready. When the time comes and I have a fight offered, I will always be ready.

 

“My plan is to become the heavyweight champion of the world. I feel like I’m with the right team now that will open those doors for me. Whoever they put in front of me, I will take care of them.

 

“I love fighting in New York because there are such smart fans here who really love boxing. They love the knockout and I’m excited to be here to do my job.

 

“I’ve been working hard and waiting to get a victory on אַפּריל 22. Once I get past this bout, it’s on to bigger and better things. I’ll find out everything about Rossy that I need to know on אַפּריל 22 and put on a great show.

 

“Age is nothing to me. So many fighters have competed into their late age. I still have a lot left in the tank.

 

“I would love to fight Deontay Wilder. We’re both big, tough fighters. These are the kind of fights that people want to see. I know that my time will come.

 

“We’re looking forward to this new relationship and this first fight on אַפּריל 22. I can’t wait to get out there in front of the fans and show my skills. I believe it will finally be time for ‘King Kong’ to come out of the jungle.”

 

דערריק ראָססי

 

“When they brought the fight to me, I said let’s do it. We’re doing it right by fighting at Barclays Center.

 

“This is a real fight. איך בין שטענדיק גרייט. The fans are who pays us and they want to see a legitimate fight. This is going to be a quality matchup on אַפּריל 22.

 

“I think our styles will match up well. He throws his hands well and I think I do the same. I sometimes try to be more evasive and I’m anticipating him bringing it. There might be some bull in a China shop, but then it could turn. We both adapt well in the ring.

 

“You can’t ask for anything better than this kind of fight. We’re both top-notch heavyweights and we’re going to go at it. It’s a thrill for me to be there regardless, but I think the fans are really going to be the winners.

 

“I’ve fought a lot of really good heavyweights. I won’t know how he stacks up until I get in there with him. All I know is that he’s tough, rugged and good.

 

“My situation is that I always have to stay ready in the gym. I happened to be ready when the call came and I said yes as soon as I could.

 

“I’m going to win this fight and it’s going to set up some big things. I’m in this business to get a world title. I have to go through Luis Ortiz to get there.”

 

AMANDA SERRANO

 

“I can’t wait to get back in the ring and put on a show in front of the fans. That’s what I love to do and it’ll be great to do it at Barclays Center.

 

“I’m motivated to make history. This would be my sixth world title in five weight divisions. This is a goal that my whole team has had. We want me to be the first Puerto Rican fighter to conquer five divisions. I want to be known as the girl who made history.

 

“I think every fighter wants to be known as the best in the world. If I’m not the best, I want to be one of the best. I want to be remembered and open the door for girls around the world.

 

“I’m very thankful for everyone who came out here today. This is a great opportunity for me on אַפּריל 22. I’m going for history. I want this so badly. I train hard and I have a great team taking care of me.

 

“What better place to make history than at Barclays Center in Brooklyn? No matter who they put in front of me, it’s going to be a night of fireworks. I’m doing this for female boxing. I’m going to show how much talent we have. This is the one that I want more than anything. I always put on a show for my fans in Brooklyn and my eyes are on the prize.”

 

Lou דיבעללאַ, פרעזידענט פון דיבעללאַ פֿאַרווייַלונג

 

“I’m really happy today to announce some great additions to a terrific card on אַפּריל 22 in Brooklyn and live on SHOWTIME. Everyone knows the main event is a great fight in the welterweight division. We also announced a 154-pound matchup as the co-main event with Jermell Charlo vs. Charles Hatley.

 

“The biggest announcement is that a very big man, is going to be on this card. All Luis Ortiz has done as a professional fighter is knock guys out. He’s one of the most feared and avoided men in the heavyweight division. Ortiz and his team want the biggest fights out there. He knows that being seen on a card of this magnitude is a tremendous opportunity.

 

“I know that Luis Ortiz has a big victory in mind on אַפּריל 22 that will propel him to a bigger fight and eventually to the biggest fights in the world. This guy deserves the opportunity.

 

“Amanda Serrano is a great champion. She’s one of the best pound-for-pound female fighters I the world today. No female fighter in history has ever won five titles in five weight classes. But it’s even more amazing, given the long history of the sport on the island, that no Puerto Rican fighter has ever become a five-division world champion. אויף אַפּריל 22 Amanda Serrano will attempt to make history.

 

“Amanda has won titles as heavy as 135-pounds and now she’ll be fighting at 118-pounds. That’s an amazing achievement. She’s always fought the best out there and she’s always proven that she is the best. She deserves the attention she’s getting. She may be the best fighter I promote, צייַט. This woman stands should-to-shoulder with any of them.”

 

“I know that Derric Rossy is going to give a test to Ortiz. But he’s never been predicted to win. Every time I watch his fight against Bermane Stiverne, I saw him winning the fight. This guy is a real professional and he deserves this opportunity.

 

סטיווען עספּינאָזאַ, Executive VP & אַלגעמיינע מאַנאַגער, שאָוטיים ספורט

 

“We’re thrilled to be here announcing such a fantastic undercard from top to bottom. Amanda Serrano is looking to become the first woman and Puerto Rican to win world titles in five weight classes. A card this deep, you know that it is a SHOWTIME card.

 

“These are the kind of cards that SHOWTIME, Lou DiBella and Barclays Center are working on every day. This was a good event and now it is a great event.”

 

ברעט יאָרמאַרק, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & פאַרווייַלונג

 

“It’s been a special start to the year for Brooklyn Boxing. You think about יאַנואַר 14 and March 4 and what great nights those were. Now we have אַפּריל 22 and it has become a special card. We’re excited about what we’re building in Brooklyn. We’re making great strides.

 

“I want to welcome Luis Ortiz to Barclays Center for the first time. I’m sure it will be a special night. We’re thrilled to welcome back Amanda Serrano as well for what should be a historic night.

 

“We’re going to continue to put on the biggest and best events we can. It’s been a great start to the year and we’re looking forward to more to come.”
