LAS VEGAS (Settembre 14, 2016) — Un tripleheader di campionato metterà in evidenza “Knockout Night at the D” il Venerdì notte, Settembre 30, in onda in diretta (11 p.m. E / 8 p.m. PT) su CBS Sports Network and internationally via ESPN (digital delay check local listings), all'aperto da sotto le luci al neon a Downtown Las Vegas Events Center(DLVEC).
Il “Knockout Night at the D” serie, presentato da D Las Vegas e DowntownLas Vegas Events Center, è promosso da Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Promozioni di boxe.
Hall of Fame announcers Jim “J.R.” Ross e Al Bernstein will call all of the action from ringside on CBS Sports Network and in English for ESPN internationally.
Nell'evento principale di 10 round, Hanzel “Rude Boy” Martinez (23-2, 19 KO) assume
Emmanuel Quartey (20-2, 19 KO) per la vacante World Boxing Association (WBA) International super bantamweight championship.
Tony Lopez, Jr. (11-1, 4 I KO sono imbattuti Stephon “Showstopper” Giovane (14-0-3, 6 KO) per la vacante WBA North American Boxing Association (Anche) titolo dei pesi gallo nella co-caratteristica di 10 round, mentre imbattuto campione WBA-NABA USA super welter Giovanni “Il fenomeno” Vera (14-0, 9 KO) makes his first title defense against Milorad “Micko” Zizic (12-1, 6 KO) in un incontro 8-tutto.
“Questo spettacolo ha tutte le caratteristiche della migliore "Knockout Night at the D ."’ spettacolo dell'anno con tre lotte per il titolo alla spina,” CEO/co-fondatore di RJJ Boxing Promotions Keith Veltre suddetto. “I sei principali combattenti hanno un record combinato di 94-6-3 con 63 ko. Tutti e tre questi combattimenti per il titolo sono alla pari e possono andare in entrambi i modi. Il vincitore dell'evento principale dovrebbe ottenere un posto nella parte superiore della WBA 15 giudizi. E abbiamo in programma di caricare il undercard con molti di Las Vegas’ prospettive più promettenti.”
Martinez, 24, è un ex World Boxing Council (WBC) Campione degli Stati Uniti dei pesi gallo. Nativo di Tijuana, Messico, Martinez è classificato No. 4 dalla NABA, e sul punto di irrompere sulla scena pugilistica nazionale. Non combatte dallo scorso dicembre perché il suo ultimo combattimento è stato annullato quando è rimasto ferito in un incidente d'auto.
Un ex campione dei pesi mosca in casa in Ghana, Quartey come Martinez è un pugile pericoloso che ha esperienza sul ring. Farà il suo debutto negli Stati Uniti Sette. 30 vs. Martinez.
The 22-year-old Lopez, combattendo da Dallas, sta uscendo da una clamorosa interruzione del secondo turno di Jerren Cochran lo scorso maggio al DLVEC. È un ex campione intercontinentale dei pesi gallo WBC Youth, la cintura in cui ha catturato 2014 con una decisione unanime di 8 round da precedentemente imbattuto Isacco Torres (9-0) a Fort Worth. Lopez è valutato No. 7 dalla NABA.
Giovane, 27, is rated No. 2 dalla NABA. Il mancino era un pugile dilettante decorato di Saint Louis, compilazione di un 86-13 record, including a silver-medal performance at the 2011 National Golden Gloves Championships. All three of his draws were fought on the road. Il suo ultimo è stato nel suo incontro più recente, lo scorso aprile al Turning Stone Casino di Verona, New York, in which he and 14-0 Nikolay Potapov battled evenly for 10 round.
Il brutale ko di Vera al sesto round di 10-1-1 Joey Ruelas, anche al DLVEC, ha guadagnato alla mancina Vera la sua corona dei super welter NABA-USA. Combattere fuori da Fort Worth, Vera affronterà il suo avversario più duro 3 ½ anno di carriera professionale.
Zizic, un nativo del Montenegro è un'ex Federazione Internazionale di Boxe (IBF) Campione giovanile e WBC dei pesi medi del Mediterraneo. Classificato n. 14 dalla NABA, Zizic ora vive e si allena nella capitale del pugilato, Las Vegas.

“KNOCKOUT NIGHT AT THE D” RESULTS FROM LAS VEGAS

(L-R) — John Anderson, Neon Star Media; co-promoters Keith Veltre and future Hall of Famer Roy Jones, Jr., Steve “The Dragon” Claggett and Derek Stevens, Owner and CEO of the D Las Vegas and Downtown Las Vegas Events Center
LAS VEGAS (Settembre 10, 2016) – The heat was on last night at “Knockout Night at the D,” in e fuori dal ring, thoroughly entertaining another sold-out crowd at the outdoorDowntown Las Vegas Events Center.
On a stacked card that had fans on their feet all night, Canadian Steve “The Dragon” Claggett (24-4-1, 16 KO) rovesciato Emmanuel “Renegade” Robles (15-1-1, 5 KO) nel main event, promoted in association with Bobby D Presents, but it was Neeco “The Rooster” Macias (13-0, 7 KO) who stole the show in the co-feature

Jim “J.R.” Ross e Al Bernstein called the action from ringside on CBS Sports Network in North America and internationally via ESPN.
Steve Claggett (L) upset Emmanuel Robles
Claggett, fighting out of Calgary, Canada, dropped down one weight class. Coming off a disputed 10-round decision loss to Chris van Heerden this past April, also at the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center, Claggett won a 10-round majority decision (98-92, 98-92, 94-96)stasera for the vacant North American Boxing Association (Anche) titolo welter. His expert body work allowed him to dictate the pace of the boxing match.
“This is a long time coming, Claggett admitted. “I took the loss (vs. van Heerden) in stride, vowing to go back to the gym and make changes. I went down to 140 (lbs.) and it was the right decision. I’m stronger. I I really worked hard.
“I landed a couple of shots that hurt him noticeably. E 'difficile. Robles is a champion in the making. Ho molto rispetto per lui. Questa è la mia vita. Esso (his loss to van Heerden) fueled me. The fire’s back in me. I love fighting in Las Vegas.”
Neeco “The Rooster” Macias (L) stole the show to became a rising star
The co-feature showcased a pair undefeated junior middleweights and from the opening bell it was a real firefight. Macias forced Rolando “Rola” Garza (9-1, 6 KO), a 3-time Mexican National amateur champion, to fight his fight. Macia’s aggressive style, always coming forward, throwing punches from every conceivable angle, ruled the coop. Garza got caught up in the action and paid for it, although the score after was 39-37, 39-37 for Macias, 39-37 for Garza, entering the fifth and final round. Macia’s constant pressure controlled the action, wearing down Garza, and paid dividends as he dropped Garza in the fifth. Arbitro Jay Nady had seen enough, halting the fight at that point as much due to the damage Garza had suffered in the first four rounds as the knockdown.
A rising star was born in Macia, who captured the vacant World Boxing Association (WBC) United States junior middleweight championship. “It’s conditioning, a lot of work,” Macias explained the reason for his non-stop action before crowing loudly in the ring. “I stuck to the game plan. I knew he’d come to fight with a lot of skill to out-box me and get points. My game plan was throw a lot of upper cuts and punches from every angle. It was all about throwing combinations.
“He had a lot pf power, so I used defense to block punches. Nell'ultimo turno, I put punches together. I think the fight was stopped a little early and he could have kept going, but I didn’t see what he saw, and the referee was looking out for the fighters so we can fight another day.”
Jeremy Nichols remained undefeated
Nell'apertura televisiva television, flashy Las Vegas welterweight Jeremy “J-Flash” Nichols (6-0, 2 KO) kept rolling, winning a 4-round unanimous decision over Steve Belmontes (2-1, O KOs). Nichols outworked his opponent, consistently beating Belmontes to the punch with his superior quickness.
“I think it could have been a little flashier,” Nichols admitted. “But give it up to my opponent, he came to fight. Con più di 100 combattimenti dilettanti, he could take a punch but he kept coming. My goal was to take everything from him and make him fight my fight. His hands were a little slower and he took a lot of good body shots and counters.”
Marina Ramirez (R) was a crowd pleaser
Idaho junior flyweight Marina “Roccioso” Ramirez (40-36, 40-36, 40-36) pitched a 4-round shutout, sconfiggendo Rachel “La vedova nera” Sazoff (0-2) con il punteggio di 40-36 su tutta la linea. “I landed a lot of shots,” Ramirez noted. “I respect her, she was tough. The game plan worked and we got the win.”
Randy Moreno (L) keeps improving
Twenty-year-old Randy Moreno (4-0, 3 KO) turned in the best performance of his young career, stopping Australian junior lightweight “12” Gaige Ireland (2-1-2, 2 KO) nel terzo turno. Moreno fights with the poise of a much older fighter, effectively counter punching from the opening bell. “E 'davvero bello,” Moreno commented. “I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t forGil Martinez (capo allenatore). He is notorious for his training methods and it’s paid off. I’ve been with him 10 anni. Fighting here at home means the world to me.”
Ismail Muwendo (L) è rimasto imbattuto
Imbattuto leggero prospettiva Ismail “Sharp Shooter” Muwendo, fighting out of Minneapolis by way of his native Uganda, migliorato per 18-0 (12 KO), taking a one-sided six-round unanimous decision from Eliseo Cruz (9-2-1, 6 KO). “I think I did well, I was out of the ring a long time,” Muwendo commented. He’s a tough guy who was ready.”
Max Ornelas (R) opened the show in grand style
Las Vegas favorite Max “Baby Face Assassin” Ornelas (4-0, 2 KO) remained unbeaten by way of a 4-round unanimous decision over Jonathan “Johnny Boy” Quiorz (6-5, 1 KO). “I was confident (of winning the decision,” the 18-year-old Ornelas said. “I was out-boxing him. I love fighting here. I have a lot of support from family and friends; I’m motivated when I hear them.”

Frank Galarza Camp Notes Once-Beaten Contender Battles Former World Champion Ishe Smith in Main Event of Premier Boxing Champions: La rotonda successiva su rimbalzo TV

Lascia un commento
Venerdì, Sette. 16 From The Chelsea inside
Il Cosmopolitan di Las Vegas – 9 p.m. E/6 p.m.PT
LAS VEGAS (Sette. 6, 2016) – Brooklyn-born contender Franco “Famigerato” Galarza has been the embodiment of a redemption story his whole life and he will look to keep that theme going when he returns from his first pro loss to take on former world champion È “Zucchero Shay” Fabbro in caso principale Premier Boxing Champions: La rotonda successiva su rimbalzo TV Venerdì, Sette. 16 da Il Chelsea dentro Il Cosmopolitan di Las Vegas.
Televised coverage begins on Bounce TV at 9 p.m. E/6 p.m. PT and features a super welterweight showdown between Domonique Dolton (17-0-1, 9 KO)e Justin DeLoach (15-1, 8 KO).
I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, che è promossa da Promozioni Mayweather, inizio alle $29 e sono già in vendita. Tickets areavailable online at: www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com or through Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000 e www.ticketmaster.com.
After being defeated by unbeaten Jarret Hurd in November 2015, Galarza is determined to reclaim his spot as a contender in the 154-pound division. Training out of the Flatbush Cops and Kids Boxing Gym in Brooklyn with longtime trainer Nirmal Lorick, Galarza has his sights set on the top of the super welterweight division.
Here is what Galarza had to say about training camp, his main event showdown, the 154-pound division and more:
What kind of problems does Ishe Smith propose and what does a victory over him do for you?
FG: “I don’t anticipate having any problems with Ishe. I spar the best guys in the world and with guys who have a lot more experience than I do. I’m going to go in, do my job and make adjustments as needed.
“Beating Ishe puts me exactly where I need to be. I took my first loss in Las Vegas and I wasn’t on my A-game. Fighting Ishe puts me right back after the loss. I constantly put myself to the test with top guys. Ishe is someone in my path who at this point, is in my way.”
What’s your mentality following the loss in your last fight?
FG: “I have lost so much in my life, so I see this loss as just a number. Boxing has everyone fooled that we need to be undefeated to be a top contender or to be great. Some of the greatest fighters have suffered losses. I am looking to be legendary and continue to fight great guys. I’m going to put my record on the line and challenge myself.
“I don’t have a deep boxing background, so I’m learning on the job. I am able to overcome every obstacle. This fight isn’t about the money, this fight and my career is for me. I want to challenge myself.”
Who do you see as the top fighters in the 154-pound division?
FG: “The Charlo Brothers, Demetrius Andrade, Julian Williams and Erislandy Lara are the top of the division in my mind. There are a lot of good fighters in this division. At this point now, the other guys need to go, and that’s where I come into play. Someone like Ishe is an older guy and he needs to give it up and get out of the way for hungry guys like me and the rest of us. People want to see guys like us.”
Who would you like to matchup with, if you can defeat Ishe Smith?
FG: “I’ll face anybody. I’m not trying to fluff my record. I come off a tough loss and I’m looking to beat a former world champion. Give me the best fight and the top guys. Give me one of the Charlo brothers and I’ll fight for one of their titles. Put me in with any of these guys and I will put them to the test, if not beat them.
“It’s a drive I have in me, especially lately, where I feel like I’ve been overlooked. It upsets me to be underestimated. I never turn down a fight. I have to be fearless in order to make it where I need to go. I am not a mediocre fighter. There’s a reason they call me the ‘Brooklyn Rocky.’ I’ve been through adversity and Ishe is in for a rude awakening. The boxing industry has me completely underestimated and at the end of the day, may the best man win.”
Talk about your work outside of the ring and how you strive to inspire kids who grew up in similar situations to yourself:
FG: “I have a non-profit called Youth Fighting Forward. I teach them that no matter what you go through, you can be whoever you want to be I came from nothing and I lost my parents at a young age. I don’t use that as an excuse. I refuse to be a statistic. I want to give the kids back that inspiration.
“Whatever it is you love to do; you are more than capable of doing it. It is in your hands to be a success story. You are not where you came from. We have the ability to change lives. My focus is to help kids growing up who are surrounded by negativity to see a positive. I put my body to the limits and when I don’t want to work out, I push through that. I want to show the kids that they have to have discipline to get through it and one day, I will be a world champion.”

Robles vs. Claggett crossroads fight Headlines Sept. 9th “Knockout Night at the D”

Lascia un commento
Live on CBS Sports Network from
Downtown Las Vegas Events Center
LAS VEGAS (Agosto 22, 2016) – Undefeated San Diego prospect Emmanuel “Renegade” Robles takes on Canadian welterweight champion Steve “The Dragon” Claggett in a crossroads fight for both il Venerdì notte, Settembre 9, in the return of “Knockout Night at the D,” aerazione (11 p.m. E / 8 p.m. PT) vivere CBS Sports Networkfrom the outdoor Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC).
Il “Knockout Night at the D” serie, presentato da D Las Vegas and DLVEC, è promosso da Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Promozioni di boxe. Annunciatori della Hall Of Fame Jim “J.R.” Ross e Al Bernstein will call all of the action from ringside on CBS Sports Network.
Robles vs. Claggett, promoted in association with Bobby D Presents, is the 10-round main event for the vacant North American Boxing Association (Anche) – United States junior welterweight championship.
Sette. 9th has the potential to be the most explosive top-to-bottom card in the already praised 2016 “Knockout Night at the D” serie, which consistently showcases domanistars in highly competitive, compelling match-ups.
“Knockout Night at the D’ is truly establishing itself in Downtown Las Vegas as a premier event for boxing fans in the community and beyond,” suddetto Derek Stevens, Owner and CEO of the D Las Vegas and DLVEC. “From hometown heavy-hitters to up-and-coming amateur fighters, the second half of this series will bring unforgettable, action-packed shows that can’t be missed.”
A former World Boxing Council (WBC) Latino super lightweight champion, as well as a 2008 National PAL gold medalist. Robles (15-0-1, 5 KO) needs an impressive victory on national television in order to advance to the next level of the junior welterweight division. The southpaw has won his last 11 fights since his 2012 draw with 7-0
Adrian Vargas.

“I am excited to showcase my skills once again as the main event on a Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions card,” Robles ha detto. “Both of my promoters, RJJ & Bobby D, are presenting me with such an incredible opportunity to fight for the Regional NABA Title belt. My opponent is in for the boxing lesson of his life. I know Claggett will be a strong contender and brings a power punch to the table. He is going to be challenging, the toughest opponent I’ve had to face thus far in my boxing career, but I am ready to show my opponent and his team the skills that will help me capture the title and bring it home to RJJ and my team.
“It’s an honor to display my superior boxing skills for Roy Jones Jr. on CBS Sports Network and I am humbled that Las Vegas has accepted me with such open arms. Defeating Claggett will put me on the map as a contender for the top 140-pounders in the world such as (Adrien) Broner, (Terence)Crawford & (Vincitore) Postal.
The 27-year-old Claggett (23-4-1, 16 KO) needs to bounce back from a disputed 10-round loss by majority decision the Chris van Heerden in his last fight this past April, also at the DLVEC, to revitalize his career. Claggett is taking a risk by dropping down one weight class in order to challenge junior welterweight Robles.

“Questa lotta significa tutto per me,” Claggett explained. It is a make or break fight for my career and I have a chance to re-enter the boxing world at 140 libbre, which is a weight that I believe I should have been fighting at a little while ago. I have a new trainer for the first time – a new team – and I am looking forward to showing fans a new fighter. A victory will stamp my name as a true world champion contender. I understand my position and I know that I am on the ‘B’ side, but I have been in this position many times before. I have a lot of experience in the sport of boxing and it has finally all come together for me. This will be my best fight. My focus and training will show on fight night.

Team Brock Celebrates
(tutte le foto di Manny “mitts” Murillo / Promozioni RJJ Boxing)
LAS VEGAS (Giugno 10, 2016) – The heat was on in Las Vegas stasera, temperature-wise as well as the action inside the ring, for the third installment of “Knockout Night at the D” serie, which aired live on CBS Sports Network from the outdoorDowntown Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC) in 90+ degree conditions before another capacity crowd.
An old-time Las Vegas grudge match turned into a highly entertaining boxing war as WBC United States (USNBC) campione dei pesi leggeri Demond “Body Shot” Brock(12-3-1, 4 KO) won a hard fought 10-round decision over former USNBC 135-pound titlist and previously unbeaten challenger Chuy “Hurrican” Gutierrez (14-1-1, 4 KO).
(L-R) – Chuy Gutierrez and Demond Brock put on a real show
Il “Knockout Night at the D” serie, presentato da D Las Vegasand DLVEC, è promosso da Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Promozioni di boxe.
“What a night we had downtown,” suddetto Derek Stevens, Owner and CEO of the D Las Vegas and DLVEC. “I want to thank the Nevada Athletic Commission for allowing us to do these fights outdoors. I want to shout out to Chuy and Brock,,,..what fighters! Let’s keep this going downtown.”
Brock, fighting out of New Orleans, learned to box in Louisiana State Penitentiary, where he served nearly 15 anni, sentenced as an adult at 15 for armed robbery. The determined lightweight controlled the pace and consistently beat hometown favorite Gutierrez to the punch all night. Gutierrez, a tough Mexican who lives in Las Vegas, showed the heart of a champion, albeit in a losing effort to a fresher Brock.
Brock (R) nails Gutierrez with right
“I think I put on a great performance,” Brock commented after the fight. “I came out to give my best effort. We trained to fight inside to fight Chuy, not box, to make him uncomfortable in a fight he’s not used to. I won this fight on the inside. No backing up for 10 giri duri. We prepared that way because we knew Chuy was going to come in throwing shots. But he’d never fought anybody of my caliber. I was looking to finish him but I didn’t want to get careless.”
In a battle of unbeaten junior middleweight, Mexican invader Rolando “Rola” Garza (9-0, 6 KO) e noi. Marine Corps veteran Erasmo “The Reckoning” Garcia (5-1-1, 3 KO) put on a show in the televised co-feature. All they really needed was a phone booth as the two warriors pounded each other from the opening bell, although Garza got the much better of the action for the first four rounds, buzzing Garcia at the end of the fourth. The game Garcia came back in the fifth, despite suffering a lot of damage from a relentless attack by Garza, who simply outclassed his overmatched opponent with his technical boxing skills. Garza, who was deducted a point for throwing a low blow in the fifth round, won a unanimous 6-round decision in a firefight.
“We worked the body and, meno male, ha vinto la lotta,” Garza noted. “E 'un duro, unbeaten guy. We came here and did it. Viva Las Vegas!”
Garza (L) was too much for Garcia
Nell'apertura televisiva television, Las Vegas welterweight prospect Jeremy “J-Flash” Nichols (5-0. 2 KO) dominated previously unbeaten Adam Vasquez (5-1-1). The flashy Nichols dropped Vasquez twice in the final round to win a 4-round unanimous decision by scores of 40-34 tre volte.
Nichols decked Vasquez twice
Nichols won his third fight in the last three months, “I can go next week,” Nichols said after the fight. “He was tall fighter who was undefeated. He didn’t come here to lose. I take my hat off to him because I hit him with some great shots. He is a tough guy with a big heart. I had to do the Ali Shuffle in the first round because he was my favorite fighter.”
Los Angeles heavyweight Johnathan “Johnnie” Rice (4-1, 2 KO), a former Winthrop College (NC) giocatore di basket, upset 4-time Mexican National amateur champion Edgar “El Chato” Ramirez (1-1, 1 KO), pitching a shutout for a unanimous 4-round decision.
Rice unloaded some haymakers on Ramirez
Las Vegas junior featherweight Max “Baby Face Assassin” Ornelas (1-0, 1 KO de an auspices pro debut, one day after his high school graduation ceremony, one day prior to his 18th compleanno. Ornelas dropped Robert “Lil’ Rapinare” Ledesma (1-5) a metà del primo round. Ledesma rose but Ornelas hit him with a vicious left hook to the body, hurting Ledesma who turned his back and walked away in pain. Arbitro Jay Nady stepped in and halted the fight.
17-year-old Ornelas (R) had an impressive pro debut

Old-time Las Vegas grudge match headlines June 10th “Knockout Night at the D” Demond Brock vs. Chuy Gutierrez

Lascia un commento
In diretta su CBS Sports Network
LAS VEGAS (Maggio 31, 2016) – An old-time grudge match between lightweights Demond “Body Shot” Brock e Chuy “Hurrican” Gutierrez will headline the third installment of the “Knockout Night at the D” serie, Venerdì notte, Giugno 10, aerazione (11 p.m. E / 8 p.m. PT) vivere CBS Sports Network from the outdoor Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC).
Il “Knockout Night at the D” serie, presentato da D Las Vegas and DLVEC, è promosso da Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Promozioni di boxe.
“Brock versus Chuy has been a fight in the making for years and now the dream is a reality,” suddetto Keith Veltre, Amministratore delegato / Co-fondatore di Roy Jones Jr. Promozioni di boxe. “As Brock defends his title, Chuy will fight to the end to regain the title that he let lapse. This fight promises to be an all-out war and the winner will move into a national spotlight. Thanks to the ‘Knock out Night at the D’ serie, Derek Stevenson is giving Las Vegas prospects an opportunity to make a national presence.”
Brock (11-3-1, 4 KO) will defend his USNBC title against former USNBC lightweight champ Gutierrez (14-0-1, 4 KO), who never lost his belt in the ring, which has set the stage for this Las Vegas showdown to determine who the USNBC belt truly belongs to. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact both fighters train in Las Vegas and have growing fan-bases.
The 35-year-old Brock, who fights out of Kenner, Louisiana, learned to box in the Louisiana State Penitentiary, while serving his 14 ½-year sentence there for armed robbery. In prison, he won 39 di 40 fights with 17 ko, eventually finishing his amateur career with an outstanding 54-3 record.
Last November in El Paso, Texas, the RJJ-promoted Brock upset 9-1-1 Oscar Valenzuela, capturing the vacant WBC United States (USNBC) lightweight title by way of a unanimous 8-round decision.
Gutierrez is from Sinaloa, Messico, the home of Hall-of-Famer Julio Cesar Chavez among many other top fighters born there. A love of baseball kept Gutierrez occupied, fino a, as he says, “boxing found me.” Gutierrez was attending college at South Nevada and working, still dreaming of becoming a major league baseball player, when he walked into the famed Johnny Tocco’s Ringside Boxing gym at the age of 21.
Bitten by the boxing bug, Gutierrez turned pro in in 2010 and he’s rapidly developed into a fan-friendly fighter, largely due to his aggressive, entertaining style. In 2014, Gutierrez won an 8-round majority decision over Rashad Ganaway(14-4-1) for the vacant USNBC lightweight crown.
The unbeaten Gutierrez wants his belt back and he’s determined to take it from Brock, che, naturalmente, believes otherwise. They will settle the score Giugno 10th in the 10-round main event that promises fireworks.

LAS VEGAS (Maggio 21, 2016) – Determined Phoenix middleweight Andrew “Uragano” Hernandez shocked heavy favorite Arif “The Pedator” Magomedov in tonight’s main event on the “Knockout Night at the D” carta, which aired live on CBS Sports Network from under the neon lights at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC) outdoor venue.
Il “Knockout Night at the D” serie, presentato da D Las Vegasand DLVEC, è promosso da Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Promozioni di boxe. Tonight’s event was promoted in association with Main Events and Shamo Boxing Promotions.
Before a sold-out crowd, Hernandez (12-4-1, 4 KO) pounded world-rated middleweight Magomedov (17-1, 10 KO), vincendo una decisione unanime in 10 round (100-89 due volte, 98-91) for the vacant USNBC middleweight title. Hernandez hurt Magomedov in the third and seventh rounds, finally dropping the tough Russian (WBA #2, WB) #3, WBA #5 e IBF #14) nel 10th.
“This fight changes everything for me,” Hernandez proclaimed. “He’s very good and deserves all of the accolades he’s received but I now have my head on straight and I’m focused. My jab was very important tonight. He’s very strong but I wanted to fight him inside because I knew he couldn’t take it from me. Ero molto preparato. I think I may have broken my ankle in the fourth round but I kept going. I wanted to finish him, get the knockout, but he’s a very tough fighter. He has heart and showed why he has all of those accolades.”
Four weeks ago, Hernandez was preparing to fight as a cruiserweight. He lost 40 pounds to make weight for this middleweight fight in what turned out to be one of the biggest upsets of the year.

(L-R) — Arif Magomedov & Andrew Hernandez
Southpaw super welterweights Giovanni “Il fenomeno” Vera (14-0, 9 KO), di Fort Worth, and Phoenix’ Joey “Pugile” Ruelas (10-2-1, 4 KO) went toe-to-toe from the opening bell and they never let up in the co-feature. Vera exploded in the round of this firestorm, battering the game Ruelas around, fino all'arbitro Jay Nady halted the action in the sixth round. Vera remained undefeated and retained his NABA-USA title.
“I knew eventually he’d put his hands down and I’d catch him,” Vera explained. “I thank him for the opportunity to fight. He’s helluva fighter, I give him that, but I know I’m a warrior. I took some shots but gave ’em, troppo. I broke him down and just kept throwing those lefts.”
(L-R) – Giovanni Vera & Joey Ruelas
In the TV opener, boxing prodigy Devin “Il sogno” Haney (6-0, 4 KO) made history as the 17-year-old – a junior in high school – became the youngest American professional boxer to fight on national television. Il Floyd Mayweather, Sr.-trained Haney, fighting out of Las Vegas in front of his rapidly growing fan-base, showcased his vast skills against previously undefeated Mexican invader Jairo “El Leon” Vargas (Fernandez), unloading 14 unanswered punches for a 4th round technical knockout victory. Nady stopped the fight without counting when a badly hurt Vargas (4-1, 3 KO) hit the deck hard.
“I happy that I put on a good performance for my fans,” Haney commented after the fight. “My team put together the strategy to use my jab and breakdown his body. I picked up my combinations did what I was told to do.”
(L-R) — Devin Haney & Jairo Vargas
In a battle of Texas junior welterweights, Tony Lopez (11-1, 4 KO) dropped previously unbeaten Jerren “Hardknocks” Cochran (11-1-1, 4 KO) twice with lefts in the opening round and finished him off in the second, knocking him out cold with a punishing right.
“Two mores seconds and I would have finished him off in the first,” Lopez remarked. “My corner told me that, after the lefts, come back with a right. They gave me the game plan and I executed.”
(L-R) Tony Lopez & Jerren Cochran
Nel match di apertura, Las Vegas favorite Jeremy “J-Flash” Nichols (4-0, 2 KO) dominated Puerto Rican welterweight Luglio “El Indio” Santos (2-3, 1 KO) on his way to a win by unanimous 4-round decision.
“I know I could have done a little better, throwing more combinations and jab,” Nichols said. “He came in trying but he couldn’t fight. I sent him back to Puerto Rico with a loss.”
(L-R) Jeremy Nichols & Julio Santos
