Cia ib saib

Egyptian light heavyweight slugger Ahmed Elbiali (9-0, 9 KOs) will return to familiar ground this Thursday, Lub peb hlis ntuj 26: fighting in an ESPN Friday Night Fights-televised undercard bout, this time, a six-rounder against England’s Mike Stafford (13-2, 3 KOs).

 

The special Thursday night edition of ESPN Friday Night Fights, presented by Corona Extra and ESPN Deportes’ Noche de Combates presentado por Corona Extra at 9 p.m. LI on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes, will be headlined by a 10-rounder featuring undefeated welterweight Fredrick “General Okunka” Lawson (23-0, 20 KOs) taking on hard-punching Miami transplant Breidis Prescott (27-6, 20 KOs).

 

In the 10-round lightweight co-feature, undefeated former IBF Super Featherweight Champion Rances “Kid Blast” Barthelemy (21-0, 1 ND, 12 KOs) will take on Angino Perez (18-6, 16 KOs).

 

Daim pib mus “Noche De Combates,” are on sale now through Ticket Force (www.myticketforce.com), www.hialeahpark.com, and at the Hialeah Park Casino cage.

 

This will be the fourth ESPN appearance for Elbiali, and he’s made the most of them, scoring devastating knockouts in all four. A former Egyptian champion now residing in Miami, Elbiali says he’s not going coming into this fight with delivering a KO as the foremost thought in his mind.

 

You’ve had some big knockouts on ESPN air, are you planning to deliver another one this Thursday?

 

I’m just going to try to do what I do best and that’s go out and get the win. If the KO comes, that’s no surprise because that’s what I train for.

 

Talk to me about the opportunities you’ve had to shine on FNF. You’ve become sort of their go to for a knockout on the televised undercard.

 

Yes! It’s been an amazing opportunity and privilege to be able to showcase my talent on ESPN. As a professional, I understood that it is also about entertaining an audience and the fans. Boxing is a beautiful sport and a business. When I’m up on the stage I’m a performer.

 

When did you realize you hit harder than most fighters?

 

Believe it or not, I never thought I hit hard and I still don’t think that at all. My main focus during camp is to train my body to hit harder and not get hit. When it’s time to fight, I just think about letting my hands go and getting the job done.

 

How soon until you graduate to FNF main event level?

 

I’m hoping, realistically, by next year. Of course I need to get through every fight and look outstanding in each of them. I don’t like to get over my head. All this is already a dream that I’m living and I’m going to take it step by step.

 

Lastly tell me what you know about this guy you’re fighting, Mike Stafford.

 

I know that he’s a British fighter that’s coming with more pro experience. I’m just going to go in and do what I do best and that’s BOX.

ESPN Hnub plaub Night Fights Back in South Florida with

Strong Televised Fight Card

Reigning IBF Super-Featherweight Champ
Rances Barthelemy Expected to Appear

Hialeah Park will be back in the international spotlight when ESPN’s Hnub plaub Night Fights return to this iconic venue with an action-packed evening of championship professional boxing on Lub peb hlis ntuj 26 starting at 6 PM ET.

The star-studded fight card, which will be broadcast live in the United States and in key Latin markets on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes, is expected to include the Lightweight debut of reigning IBF Super-Featherweight champion Rances “Kid Blast” Barthelemy, who is 21-0 nrog 12 knockouts.

Leon Margules of Warriors Boxing, co-promoters of the event with Hialeah Park, confirms that the card will feature a ten-round welterweight affair between Breidis “El Khanqueror” Prescott (27-6, 20 KOs) of Colombia and Fredrick “General Okunka” Lawson (23-0, 20 KOs) of Ghana.

“This will be a key fight for Prescott,” Margules related. “He’s 31, now. He’s won three fights but dropped two since the start of 2012, so he’s pretty much in a must-win situation if he wants to remain relevant in his division.”

Prescott, now fighting out of Miami, won the first 21 fights of his professional career before losing back-to-back outings in late 2009.

Lawson is six years younger at 25. He’s won three different vacant regional title bouts since December of 2012, most recently the vacant IBF International Welterweight title in July of 2013.

“Lawson didn’t fight in the United States until he re-located to Chicago last year,” Margules noted. “He’s a solid pro who doesn’t need friendly surroundings to win. He’s won in Minnesota and California since coming to America.”

Two undefeated Cuban heavyweight fighters will battle on the card. Yasmany “El Tiburon” Consuegra has a record of 16-0 nrog 14 knockouts, most in the early rounds. Consuegra has not had to wait for the scorecards to be tallied since winning a four-round bout 5 years ago in only his third lifetime fight. Robert Alfonso is 4-0 in his young career.

Tickets for ESPN’s Hnub plaub Hmo ntuj Fights, also billed as “Noche De Combates,” are on sale now through Ticket Force (www.myticketforce.com),www.hialeahpark.com, and at the Hialeah Park Casino cage.

The event will be televised Live on HBO World Championship Boxing® beginning at10:00 p.m. LI/PT.

“Rau Tej zaum 16, I will shock the world,” Hais Monroe.
“I think this is an awesome fight. We have two contrasting styles and that will make for some spontaneous combustion. We will see which style comes out on top on Tej zaum 16.”
“I want to thank Banner Promotions for standing by me. I also want to thank GGG for accepting the fight. This is a risky fight for him because people have not given me the credit for who I am.” continued Monroe. “I want to also thank Brian Kweder and John Campagna of ESPN for the platform of the Boxcino tournament. I know that it was those three fights that really spingboarded me into this position.”
Said Banner Promotions President Artie Pelullo, “We are extremely happy for Willie. He has worked very hard, and he got this opportunity the old-fashioned way. He earned it. To win the 2014 Boxcino tournament shows that when fighters take risks in their career, and they are willing to fight quality fighters, great things come from it. For that I have to really give a lot of credit to Brian Kweder and John Campagna of ESPN for help facilitating this great run that Willie has been on and which led to this opportunity.”
“When ESPN signed on with Banner Promotions to bring back the Boxcino Championship last year, Artie Pelullo promised that the tournament would produce a world champion just as it did back in the 1990’s,” Hais Brian Kweder, ESPN senior director of programming and acquisitions. “I’m happy to see Willie Monroe, ❏ Jr ❏. get the first shot at delivering on that promise. This fight on May 16th is exactly the reason fight fans should tune in to this year’s crop of talent appearing in the Boxcino semifinals on Tim 10 on Friday Fights yav hmo ntuj.”

Lenroy Thomas opened up the Boxcino quarterfinals with a drawbreaker decision over former U.S. Olympian Jason Estrada.
