Арлінгтон, Техас. (Березня 5, 2019) – IBF Welterweight World Champion Еррол Спенс молодший. та чотиридивізійний чемпіон світу Майки Гарсія hosted separate media workouts in Dallas and Riverside, ТАКИЙ ЯК. respectively on Tuesday as they near their historic showdown that headlines the first Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event Saturday, Березня 16 from AT&Стадіон Т в Арлінгтоні, Техас.

Spence hosted media at World Class Boxing Gym in Dallas and was joined by undefeated former super middleweight champion Девід Бенавідес, який бере на себеJ'Leon Любов in PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View action. Garcia’s workout also featured heavyweight fan-favorite Кріс Арреола, who participated in the workout at Robert Garcia Boxing Academy and will face Jean Pierre Augustin in Pay-Per-View action beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Tickets for this showdown, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Ringstar Sports, вже у продажу, і можуть бути придбані в SeatGeek.com, офіційний постачальник квитків AT&Стадіон Т.

Here is what the fighters and more had say Tuesday from the two media events:

Еррол Спенс JR.

“Я дуже радий за цю боротьбу, especially to have it at AT&Стадіон Т. Я 100% focused and ready for next week. This fight is going to have a bigger crowd, be more electrifying and will just be an amazing event overall.

“A lot of times when I’m in AT&T Stadium watching the NFL games, or watching Pacquiao fights or Canelo fights, the jumbotrons are so big that you get caught up looking up even when you’re ringside. It’s great because there isn’t a bad seat in the place with the jumbotron.

“This is definitely one of those crossover fights for me. Garcia is the biggest name to date that I’m fighting on American soil. It’s just great being so young in my career, fighting in my first pay-per-view and fighting with a guy like Garcia who brings over a different fanbase.

“You can tell how I looked ten weeks ago compared to how I look now. I’m not overlooking Garcia. I’m in tip-top shape, slim and ready. The difference is that now in a pay-per-view fight you have to be more dedicated and focused to promote the fight, showing that you are a star in boxing and sports media.

“If you know me and you know my boxing style, you know I’m never in a boring fight. Even if it’s just me beating up my opponent, or them just being hurt, I’m always going to try to stop my opponent and put on a spectacular performance.

“I put that pressure to look great on myself, not just because I’m undefeated or because everybody says this about me, I do it for myself to put on a great performance and a great show. I want to do that so great guys can look at me and think about if they want to fight me or not. That’s why a lot of guys don’t want to fight me.”

MIKEY GARCIA

“A lot of people underestimate the power when they face me. They don’t see my physical size as a threat. But you know they feel the power once we’re in the ring and definitely change their minds.

“(I wanted to fight Spence) because he’s the best right now in the (напівсередній) поділ. Я хочу зробити заяву. I want to make a mark, and you know I have to do that against the best.

“I believe I’m a better fighter overall. When it comes to footwork, I think I have the better footwork. When it comes to speed, I think I have better speed. When it comes to defense, I have better defense. With timing, I have better timing. All of these things are what will help me win this fight. The only thing that he has going for him that’s apparent is the size, height, weight and reach.

“I’ve always said I’m better than him. Not by a lot, but just enough to beat him. He also reminds me of myself in a lot of ways, the way he fights, the way he is. He does everything well, good footwork, хороша швидкість, controls the fight at his distance that he likes… In a lot of ways, it resembles the way I fight. But I still feel that I’m better in every one of those ways and that’s what I’m betting on.”

DAVID Benavidez

“I’m extremely excited to be fighting in front of 40,000-plus people in the co-main event on March 16. It’s like a dream come true fighting at AT&Стадіон Т.

“I’m looking forward to going in and getting a knockout… I’ve been training extremely hard. Three months of training for this camp. It’s been good. I have like six pounds left to lose, so I haven’t struggled with the weight at all. I’ve been on a diet for at least three months now. The work has been done in and outside of the ring. Everything has been perfect leading up to this fight and I’m extremely ready.

“It was difficult (losing my title). I beat myself for that belt. В 2019, we are not taking any steps back, only forward.

“There are a lot of good fights I know that can be made. Так, I am very excited to do my part and hopefully face-off against Anthony Dirrell, Caleb Plant or Callum Smith at the end of the year. I’m already in line to fight for the WBC title, but I’ve got to first take care of my job with J’Leon Love.

“Love is a good boxer, контр-панчер. He’s been in the game for a while now. But like I said, I’m ready for anything. I’ve studied him a lot, so I’m just ready for anything he presents.

“I want to become the undisputed champion (at super middleweight). That’s my ultimate goal. Then I can talk about moving up. Зараз, I want all the belts.”

Кріс Арреола

“Зараз, my career is all about putting in the work and my legacy. I’m not in this anymore for money. I love money, but I’m comfortable. I’m here for legacy. I want to leave something behind… I’m chasing a title.

“I feel mentally sharper now. Mentally I’m just relaxed in the ring. Some people are amped the whole round. But no, I know how to relax and work the ring and work my fight.

“The main thing this time around is I’m fighting a lefty and the first three or four times being in the ring sparring it’s a little different. It’s different angles and different punches… So that’s the main thing that’s probably the hardest part is lefties and getting used to it.”

DERRICK ДЖЕЙМС, тренер Спенса

“I just think Errol is so hungry and he has the ability to be great. The way he adjusts in the fights and he really sets the tone. Більш за все, his fights have been one-sided. Regardless who he’s fighting against, how great they are, what their record is, what they said they’ll do to him, he’s just been able to have one-sided affairs. Hopefully we can have the same thing in this fight.

“This has been a tremendous training camp. I’ve seen how hard Errol has worked and how motivated he is. He’s extremely confident, and rightfully so. Березня 16, I know Mikey is going to come prepared, but so are we. Whatever Mikey brings into the ring, we’re going to have the answer.”

Роберт Гарсія, Mikey’s Brother & Тренер

“Mikey has been there before in many championship fights. Очевидно, this is the biggest challenge against a bigger, heavier guy. But at this point in training, I think we’re in great shape. We know (Еррол) is going to be the heavier guy in the ring, but he’s not going to be the better or smarter guy.

“We’re going to fight a technical fight, especially in the first few rounds, to figure out what Errol Spence is brining into the fight. But if we have to back him up and fight on the inside, then we’re going to do what’s necessary.”

Річард Шафер, Голова & Генеральний директор Ringstar спорту

“FOX is really putting their weight behind boxing, and you’ve seen what that meant for other sports. When UFC got involved with FOX, you saw how it elevated the sport of MMA and UFC… FOX is doing the same thing now on the boxing side and I really believe it will elevate boxing. It brings the general market to this sport, and I think that’s what we’re going to see here with this pay-per-view.

“When you have a fight like Spence and Garcia, boxing fans know about it. Sports fans know about it. But the general market doesn’t really know about it. Так, I think if you can market towards the general market it just opens up the flood gates as it relates to pay-per-view. And that’s the advantage FOX has compared to an ESPN.”

Owen Minor with his sons, (L) Ramiel and Amaren

Вустер, Маса. (Березня 5, 2019) – Decorated amateur boxer Оуен Малої has spent the past three years focusing on fatherhood responsibilities.

Kendrick Ball, Sr. trains his son as well as his nephew, Minor, who takes on Philadelphia’s Корі Морлі (0-2-1) in the four-round, co-featured event.

“It’s a privilege to make my pro debut in my hometown on a card headlined by my cousin,” Minor said. “Not every boxer gets a chance like this. It’s a great honor for me. I love the City of Worcester and the people who live here. Boxing has always been big in my family and I want to continue our legacy in Worcester boxing.”

Undefeated Southbridge, М. А. у напівсередній вазі Вільфредо “Sucaro” язичник (5-0, 3 КО) meets an upset-specialist, Peruvian Carlos Galindo (1-7), fighting out of Woburn, Массачусетс, in a four-round clash.

KENNEDY JOINS FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, GARY ’SPIKE’ O’SULLIVAN, JOHN JOYCE & NOEL MURPHY ON STACKED HOLIDAY CARD


Субота, MARCH 16TH AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES IN BOSTON


EVENT IS ALMOST SOLD OUT. LIMITED TICKETS ОСЬ!

One of Murphys Boxing’s most popular fighters, ‘Boom Boom’, is coming off a dominant unanimous decision win this past October when he took the ‘O’ from fellow undefeated heavyweight, Брендан Барретт in a fight broadcast on DAZN.


Kennedy’s 2019 debut will fittingly take place at this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Clash, his third time appearing at the annual event, and he knows firsthand the excitement and energy that comes with it.


“I won the Massachusetts State Heavyweight Title on the Murphys Paddys Day show in 2017 and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere is like nothing I’ve ever witnessed at a boxing event. I’m looking forward to being part of it again.”


Кеннеді, despite hailing from Gorey, Ireland where he works full time as a policeman, боровся 10 з його 13 professional fights in the New England area and actually considers Boston his boxing home.


“I’m blessed with the support that I have received from the people of Boston and Massachusetts in general. I have a large family connection in the state who bring out massive support so when it comes to boxing homes, Boston is my first boxing home.”


As for 2019, Kennedy is dead set on upping the competition and even has his eyes on a fellow unbeaten heavyweight who like himself is creating a buzz in a boxing crazed east coast city.


“My goal is always to improve with each fight. I want to be world ranked and fight the top names in the division but I know if that’s going to happen, 2019 has to be a huge year for me. There’s a lot of fighters I want to share the ring with but right now I think myself vs Philadelphia’s Darmani Rock is a fight that should and will happen.”


Murphys Boxing founder, Ken Casey agrees that 2019 will be a breakout year for Kennedy and that his addition to the St. Patrick’s Day Clash takes the event to a whole new level.


“Niall is one of our most popular fighters and he has huge fights on the horizon. We want to keep him active this year so he can be at his best for what lies ahead. Having an Irish heavyweight on a St. Patrick’s Day show puts this card over the top as one of the best Murphys Boxing has ever done.”


The Saint Patrick’s Day Clash will truly be an Irish heavy affair as Kennedy joins a card that has fellow Murphys Boxing stablemate, Cork, Ірландії Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan (29-3, 20 КО) in a risky fight against Khiary Gray (16-4, 12 КО) as well as the much anticipated all Irish welterweight showdown between Cork, Ірландії John Joyce (7-0, 4 КО) and Lucan, Ірландії Noel Murphy (12-1-1, 2 КО).


Headlining the annual event will be NABA Junior Middleweight Champion, Massachusetts’ Mark DeLuca (22-1, 13 КО) who will put his title, and his топ 10 world ranking, on the line against Connecticut’s Джиммі Вільямс (16-1-1, 5 КО).


У со-головній події, непереможеним NABA Light Heavyweight Champion, Connecticut’sCharles Foster (17-0, 8 КО) will take on once beaten, Chicago power puncher, Mike Jiminez (22-1-2, 14 КО).

Бруклін (Березня 3, 2019) – Колишній чемпіон світу з вагою 154 кілограми Ерісланді Лара та чемпіон WBA у напівлегкій вазі Брайан Браун в суботу в Barclays Center боролися за дуже конкурентну роздільну нічию, будинок BROOKLYN BOXING ™, у заході, представленому Прем'єр-чемпіоном боксу. З жеребкуванням, Кастаньо зберігає пояс WBA, що було найжорсткішим випробуванням у його кар'єрі проти давнього 154-фунта в Ларі. Судді забив бій 115-113 (Коричневий), 115-113 (Лара) і 114-114.

Коричневий (15-0-1, 11 КО), який воював у своєму першому США. головна подія, мав велику перевагу в електромережах (181-103) поки Лара (25-3-3, 14 КО) знайшов успіх, приземливши ліву руку вниз посередині на своєму шляху до 34 відсотків в 27 відсоткова перевага в точності живлення.

У тісному, важкозабивний бій, п'ять раундів були розділені трьома або менше з'єднаннями, і три з цих раундів віддали перевагу Ларі. У останніх двох турах, Кастаньо посилив тиск і підключився 44 удари, тоді як Лара приземлилася лише 24 удари по раундах чемпіонату. Кастаньо виграв останні три раунди на всіх трьох рахунках суддів. Не роблячи цього, аргентинець втратив би пояс.

Після гарячої суперечки, обидва винищувачі мають варіанти, включаючи матч-реванш, у багатому талантами супер-напівлегкій вазі.

“Я знаю, що виграв бій. Я відчуваю, що мене пограбували,”, - розчарований Кастаньо сказав Джиму Грейу з SHOWTIME. “Якщо він хоче реванш, Я дам йому матч-реванш. Цього разу я дочекався його, щоб я міг дочекатися його знову, якщо він хоче повторний матч. Я б дав йому матч-реванш, якщо він захоче. Я також можу боротися з будь-яким іншим чемпіоном, який хоче битися зі мною. Я готовий до того, кого вони поставлять переді мною. Херд чи хтось інший ".

Лара, з іншого боку, відчував, що зробив достатньо, щоб претендувати на пояс: “Я думав, що виграв бій, поклавши більш точні та ефективні удари. Кастаньо прийшов битися, але він ніколи не робив мені болю, а я його. Все, що я можу, - це великі поєдинки з фанатами, і це те, що я буду робити і надалі. У мене залишилося багато боротьби, і я нікуди не збираюся.

“Якщо нам доведеться знову боротися з ним, Я буду боротися з ним. Херд або Кастаньо. Хто-небудь, У мене буде матч-реванш з обома ".

У со-функція, Кубинський важкотягач Луїс Ортіс (31-1, 26 КО) здобув одноголосне рішення перемогою над грою Крістіан Хаммер (24-6, 14 КО). Хоча судді забили бій 100-90 і 99-91 двічі, обидва чоловіки билися крівавими носами в різні моменти бою, і обидва були приголомшені в другому раунді..

Ортіс, який здобув свою третю поспіль перемогу з моменту випадання захоплюючого слизня з чемпіоном WBC у важкій вазі Деонтей Уайлдером рік тому, зараз шукає черговий титул чемпіона світу.

«Бій був не таким, як я очікував,- сказав Ортіс. “Це була важка боротьба, і мій куточок дійсно повинен був працювати зі мною. Після того, як я отримав ритм, Я трохи розігрівся. Кожен важкоатлет там повинен знати, що я все ще маю це у віці 40 років. Anthony Joshua, Deontay Уайлдер, Я готовий. "

Хоча Хаммер бився з більшою енергією та з більшою рішучістю, ніж у попередніх поєдинках з іншими суперважкими супертягами Тайсоном Ф'юрі та Олександром Повєткіним, Ортіс використав свою чудову техніку та навички, щоб врешті-решт здійснити однобоке рішення. Ортіс усереднював 45 косяки, кинуті за раунд і приземлені 61 уколів просто 20 для Молотка, одночасно підключаючись 49 відсотків його ударів влади. Ортіс зробив свідомі зусилля, щоб напасти на тіло Хаммера 33.6% його загальної кількості зв’язків (45 з 140) що надходять через постріли тіла.

"Я вів бій, якого не проводив роками, що коробка і робота,- сказав Ортіс. "Тому я не розчарований, що не нокаутував його, бо сьогодні ввечері показав деякі свої навички боксу".

“Ортіс - дуже хороший і досвідчений боєць,”, - сказав 31-річний Хаммер, який дебютував в Америці. «Він технічний та кмітливий, але він не такий залякуючий, як кажуть люди. Я поважаю Ортіса, але не думаю, що він найкращий боєць, з яким я коли-небудь стикався.

"Я дуже впевнено рухаюся вперед. Я знаю, що можу піти на відстань з ким завгодно, і я готовий боротися з будь-ким. Люди думали, що мене виб’ють, але я довів, що вони помиляються.”

У телеконвекторі, Едуардо Рамірес (22-1-3, 9 КО) спіймали Брайан Де Грасія (24-2-1, 20 КО) з порочним правим аперкотом у дев’ятому, приголомшуючи свого супротивника і раптом розкриваючи близький бій. Рамірес накинувся на запамороченого Де Грасія і розвязав хвилю ударів, що змусило арбітра Бенджі Естевеса викликати бій на 2:10 дев'ятого раунду.

Південна лапа Рамірес, Лос-Мочіс, Сіналоа, Мексика, затримувався на табло показників під час зупинки згідно з двома з трьох суддів (у третього було навіть). Рамірес, відомо, що посилюється на пізніх раундах, підключений на 36 удари в раунді номер дев'ять, безумовно його найвищий підсумок підключення вночі. Хоча Де Грасія був більш агресивним винищувачем, панамці не вдалося послідовно наносити удари. Де Грасія був точним у справі 27 відсотків його ударів влади, поки Рамірес приземлився 38 відсотків його.

“Я точно знав, що це близько, але мій куточок постійно казав мені продовжувати йти, і тоді я його спіймав,- сказав Рамірес, який бився з важким серцем після смерті свого діда. «Я не просто прийшов сюди битися. Я прийшов сюди, щоб щось зробити, і я це зробив ».

З перемогою, Зараз Рамірес виступає в лінії проти WBA (Регулярні) Чемпіон світу в напівважкій вазі Джу Сю, і він буде намагатися боротися за титул чемпіона світу в глибокій напівлегкій вазі.

В акції SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN, яка транслювалася в прямому ефірі на каналі SHOWTIME Sports YouTube та на сторінці SHOWTIME Boxing у Facebook, Едвін Родрігес (31-2, 20 КО) одноголосним рішенням виграв 10-раундовий важкий бійМітч Вільямс (16-7-3, 11 КО) десятками 96-94 в два рази і 98-92. Висвітлення у соціальних мережах також бачили Антоніо Рассел (13-0, 11 КО), молодший брат чемпіона WBC в напівважкій вазі Гері Рассела-молодшого, Стоп Хосе Марія Карденас зображення заповнювача (16-4, 13 КО) 22 секунди до шостого раунду їхнього боротьби у напівважкій вазі. На початковому етапі цифрової презентації, Leduan Бартелемі (14-0-1, 7 КО) залишився без поразки одностайним рішенням Мігель Анхель Айспуро (11-7-2, 7 КО) десятками 80-72 в два рази і 79-73 у своєму восьмираундовому суперлегкому вазі.

CLARESSA SHIELDS

“This has been long overdue. I’m just glad that Hammer is here and the fight is set. She’s been at my fights before but I can’t wait to get inside the ring and show her I’m the real champion.

“I’ve traveled to many different countries and dethroned champions around the world. Зрештою,, I’m coming to fight and I recognize that she’s a great champion. To be a champion for all those years shows that she’s a good fighter. But I also look at resumes, and her resume is not as good as mine.

“I’m not someone coming to lay down. I’m not afraid of her. You don’t win belts by talking. Ви повинні боротися. I said two years ago I want to fight Christina Hammer in my seventh fight. It would have been if it weren’t for her medical issue. But now we’re here and ready for April 13.

“Квітня 13 you’re going to see someone fold. Я обіцяю тобі, it will not be me. Make sure you all tune-in.

“I think for women’s boxing this is a true super fight that we’ve never gotten before. We’ve never had a fight like this in women’s boxing. It’s great to make this happen and us being from two parts of the world makes this fight even better.

“She’s not the tallest girl I’ve ever fought. I’m stronger than her and I know it. I got up from a knockdown and won. She can’t do that. I don’t believe she knows how to fight on the inside, but she better learn.

“I want to make her quit. I don’t want her to just know I’m a good fighter, I want her to know I’m great. I wish we could go 12 раундів, but I’ll be prepared for all 10 rounds.”

CHRISTINA HAMMER

“I’m very glad to be here and make this fight happen. I’m looking forward to April 13. I want to show the world who I am.

“This is a big risk to come from Germany to the U.S., but I believe the best should fight the best and I did what I had to so that this could happen. This fight can be a game changer for our sport.

“I will give everything to step out of the ring as a winner. I know Claressa Shields is also a great champion. She’s undefeated like me and that’s why people want to see the fight and that’s why we made it happen.

“I want to thank everyone who made this fight a reality and brought us to this stage. It’s huge for me to be here in New York and I am looking to win on April 13.

“This fight is the real deal. This is going to be a game changer for women’s boxing. I think we’re going to inspire a lot of female athletes who want to live their dream. It’s motivation for everyone.

“I’ve had the title for a long time. I always push myself. This is the fight I wanted to show everyone who is the best. I will be the undisputed champion.

“Shields is beatable. Hanna Gabriels caught her in the first round of their fight and I am taller and stronger than Gabriels. I want to finish the job if I get the chance.

“Anything can happen in boxing. Я готовий піти відстань. Knockout is the goal but most importantly, I want to win.”

DMITRIY SALITA, Президент SALITA Promotions

“I’m honored to bring to the fans the first super fight in women’s boxing history. A lot of questions surround this fight. Will this be a classic like Leonard vs. Хернс, where the gold medalist handles the experienced pro, or like Mosley vs. Де Ла Хойя, where the boxing pro took the gold medalist down. This fight is going to be for all of the belts and this recognizes the true value and impact of this fight.

“Christina Hammer has been a world champion for over nine years and has won titles in two divisions. She’s charismatic and a superstar in Germany and Europe. As a champion that she is, she’s traveling to the other side of the world to prove that she’s the best.

“Claressa made the Olympic team when she was 17 років, winning our only boxing medal at the 2012 Олімпійські ігри. She’s the only boxer in U.S. history to win two Olympic gold medals in boxing. She’s had a very impressive pro career, beating world champions and top contenders in all her fights. She’s on her journey to be the best and this fight is a big step toward cementing herself as the GWOAT (greatest woman of all time).

“This is going to be a historic night of boxing. If you watch this fight live and in-person, you will want to hold onto your ticket as a memento.”

МАРК Таффет, Клареса Шилдс’ менеджер

“The media support for this fight is outstanding. This is a very special time. This fight is one of the most significant fights I’ve worked on in my career, because of the place it will hold in history.

“Two years ago I met Claressa Shields and we discussed her turning pro. We made a list of dreams and I promised Claressa I would do everything in my power to fulfill every one of them. We’ve had a wonderful journey together. One of those dreams was to make this undisputed championship fight happen. We’re going to keep making dreams happen.”

TOM LOEFFLER, Christina Hammer’s Advisor

“Without the fighters wanting this fight, events like this wouldn’t happen. Christina Hammer wants this challenge and she wants to prove she’s the best middleweight champion out there.

“These two fighters can be an example for a lot of male boxers. These are two undefeated fighters in their prime putting it all on the line to show who is the best. You don’t see that very often these days.

“This is going to be a fun promotion. This is a fight that’s a real 50-50 боротьба. Claressa will be coming forward with her style and tenacity, going up against Christina’s experience. It’s for all the marbles”

Стівен Еспіноза, President Sports & програмування подій, Showtime Networks Inc.

“Let’s get one thing straight here. This isn’t just an important women’s fight. This isn’t just a high-quality women’s boxing match. This is a high-quality boxing match. This is an important fight. So certainly we have two very skilled women, we’re not going to ignore that fact. But this is one of the best fights that can be made in this sport. Two pound-for-pound boxers, Кращий боротьба кращих. If you are not interested in this fight, then candidly, you are not a boxing fan. This is as good as this sport gets.

“We at SHOWTIME have a long history showcasing the best in women’s boxing and MMA. Names like Laila Ali, Christy Martin, Ронда Роузі, Миша Тейт, Gina Carano, Cris Cyborg.; those are all fighters who made their debuts and that became stars on SHOWTIME. This has been a long-time commitment.

“The first nationally televised women’s MMA event was on SHOWTIME. The first domestic televised MMA women’s main event was on SHOWTIME. The first women’s boxing match that was nationally televised was on SHOWTIME. The first women’s main event boxing bout was also on SHOWTIME, and that obviously was Claressa just a couple of years ago.

“So here on this stage you’ve got two of the most elite athletes in the sport. Not two of the elite women’s fighters in the sport, but two of the elite athletes within this sport. Two-time gold medalist, the only American to do that consecutively, and a two-belt world champion versus a longtime middleweight champion who has dominated this division for nearly a decade.

“This is one of the best fights that can be made in the entire sport. We have two of the elite athletes in boxing and they are deserving of having everything that comes with a marquee event on SHOWTIME, including our Emmy Award-winning All Access series.”

JIM WYNKOOP, Головний Керуючий, Boardwalk Hall

“We are so excited to have this great fight coming to Boardwalk Hall. It will be our first championship fight in several years and we can’t wait.

“There is a huge history of boxing at Boardwalk hall in Atlantic City and we look forward to writing another chapter on April 13.”

Everything can be done in life, just set some goals and fight for them, no matter how strong the winds are. If you are at the hands of Jesus Christ, our savior, nothing will be missing and I know that many young people will achieve it”.

Álamo’s trainer Iván Calderón said: “I want to thank Ángel Cotto, who was the one who physically prepared Yomar Álamo for the fight and without that work, you can’t do what you did. Thanks to Efraín Román and Armando for giving me the confidence to join the team. The discipline that Yomar had to represent Aguas Buenas with a lot of pride, knowing that his people are behind him, motivated him a lot”.

“From the Cagüitas neighborhood, we have a young man who, since he was a child, trained in the municipal gym of Aguas Buenas with Efraín Román and his father Armando Álamo. His dedication is remarkable throughout the town. Always running at 4:00 in the morning and that fills us with pride. His title is well deserved and thanks to the WBO for this great activity”, said the Aguas Buenas mayor Javier García Pérez, who was joined by the representative Jorge Navarro, on behalf of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico.
