“Saturday, Ožujak 28 is going to be a night full of exciting action headlined by Mexican knockout artist Luis Nery beginning his path toward a world title at super bantamweight against an undefeated Mexican contender in Aaron Alameda,” said Tom Brown, Predsjednik TGB Promocije. “Adding in the heavyweight showdown between Otto Wallin and Lucas Browne, plus a rematch of young light heavyweights Joseph George and Marcos Escudero, fight night at Park MGM in Las Vegas is sure to deliver explosive battles from start to finish.”
Nery (30-0, 24 Kos) is a power puncher who has stopped his last 11 opponents and 15 od njegova posljednja 16. The 25-year-old southpaw from Tijuana, Mexico scored a dominant stoppage victory over former champion McJoe Arroyo in March and returned in July to stop former champion Juan Carlos Payano. He scored a TKO victory over Shinsuke Yamanaka to win the bantamweight world title in 2018 and will now move up to 122 pounds to seek a world title in a second weight class.
“I’m excited to fight on SHOWTIME and I’m planning on another knockout victory to prove to everyone that I’m one of the kings of the super bantamweight division,” said Nery. “I know that I can knock out any fighter at 118 ili 122 funti, and I’m hungrier than ever to prove that I’m one of boxing’s great Mexican champions. My goal is to continue to put on great performances for the fans and I’m ready to fight anyone who is willing to step up to the challenge.”
Representing Sonora, Meksiko, Alameda (25-0, 13 Kos) is unbeaten since turning pro in 2014 after a strong amateur career, and will step up in competition as he faces Nery for a shot at a world title bout. The 26-year-old is ranked No. 12 by the WBC and most recently knocked out Jordan Escobar in April 2019, after three victories in 2018. Alameda will fight in the U.S. for the second time when he enters the ring on March 28, after scoring a body shot knockout over Andre Wilson in a January 2016 bout in Los Angeles.
“I’m very excited to be making my SHOWTIME debut in the main event against a great fighter,” said Alameda. “All of the years of training and fighting have brought me to this fight on March 28. Nery is a Mexican warrior like myself and I can’t wait to lock horns with him and give the fans great action all the way until the final bell.”
The 29-year-old Wallin (20-1, 13 Kos) will return to the ring in Las Vegas, where he nearly defeated former unified heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in September, when he opened up a gruesome cut over Fury’s right eye with a legal punch that nearly halted the fight. While Wallin dropped the decision, he proved his mettle as a potential future heavyweight champion. Representing his native Sundsvall, Švedska, Wallin trains in New York with former champion Joey Gamache. Wallin’s last fight in Las Vegas was his second in the U.S., after his debut on SHOWTIME in April ended in a no contest because of a cut suffered by his opponent in the first round.
Fighting out of New South Wales, Australija, Browne (29-2, 25 Kos) most recently scored a knockout victory over John Hopoate in November, his second win of 2019. He’s won four of his last five bouts, with his only career losses coming to Dillian Whyte and David Allen in the U.K. Browne won his first 25 pro borbe, including a stoppage of Ruslan Chagaev in 2016 to capture a WBA Heavyweight Championship. He will be making his U.S. debi.
George (10-0, 6 Kos) emerged victorious in a battle of then unbeaten fighters when he faced Escudero on SHOWTIME in November, taking a split-decision victory. The 30-year-old didn’t start boxing until he was 19 and is managed by Washington Redskins All-Pro offensive lineman Trent Williams, and trained in Houston by NFL All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson and James Cooper. George will look to transition from prospect to contender by defeating Escudero again on March 28.
Escudero (10-1, 9 Kos) will look to bounce back and even the score against George, and in turn bolster his own position in the light heavyweight division. The 26-year-old from Buenos Aires, Argentina has fought primarily in the U.S. since turning pro in 2017. His amateur career saw him become a national champion in Argentina in 2014 and represent his country in the Pan-Am Games in 2015. Escudero currently trains in Miami and scored three stoppage wins in 2019 before facing George for the first time.

Prošlog vikenda obračun naslova u srednjoj kategoriji između Canela Alvareza i Daniela Jacobsa također je predstavljao godišnji Box Fan Expo, održanoj u kongresnom centru u Las Vegasu. Iznenađujuće suvenire i izložene amaterske bokserske akcije upotpunile su niz bivših i sadašnjih boraca svjetskog prvaka dostupnih za brzi susret i pozdrave.
Kao cjeloživotni ljubitelj boksa, bila je šteta što sam imao samo malo više od dva sata na događaju prije nego što sam se vratio u T-Mobile Arenu na početak dvoboja podkarta. Vrijeme koje sam mogao provesti bilo je posve ugodno. Cijene su bile prihvatljive za upoznavanje ovih fist legendi i nekoliko trenutaka za razgovor i fotografiranje. Prosječno $20 -$25 cijena za foto opciju bila je znatno niža od one koja bi se izgubila u kasinu u jednom okretanju ruleta.
James Toney bio je tamo u odijelu, dokazujući da čak može i karirano izgledati stilski. Za tipa poznatog po mračnoj prirodi, bio je vrlo susretljiv i spomenuo je da će u lipnju biti u Philadelphiji na emisiji uživo 7 i nada se da će me tamo vidjeti.
U sljedećem štandu bio je emiter Kuće slavnih Al Berstein, s kojim sam imao privilegiju intervjuirati 2011. Kad su mi rekli da se divim njegovom otmjenom radu i da sam obožavatelj još od njegovih dana s Barryjem Tompkinsom u ESPN-ovim borbama u četvrtak navečer, bio je skroman i zahvalan.
Red za susret s Royem Jonesom Jr.. bio dug, ali vrijedan čekanja. Dok je vremena za razgovor s Royem bilo kratko, Mogao sam spomenuti kakva mi je čast bila upoznati jednog od najvećih izvođača moje generacije i kako sam sjedio samo nekoliko metara od njega kad je bio na setu Creed II.
Dok je linija za susret s legendarnim Sugar Rayem Leonardom bila izuzetno duga, moglo se vidjeti da je istinski uživao, bljesnuvši osmijehom od milijun dolara i radeći svoju poznatu fotografiju s fanovima podignutu šakama. Nažalost, s vremenom sve kraćim, Nisam imao priliku upoznati jednog od svojih najdražih boraca u odrastanju. Najradije bih mu pokazala fotografiju kad sam imala četiri godine, zamahujući na boksačkoj vreći Sugar Ray Leonard koja mi je dana.
Nekoliko metara dalje bio je jedan od najpoznatijih suparnika Sugar Raya, veliki Thomas "Hitman" Hearns. Dok je Hitman pokazivao usporavanje kako stari, još uvijek se pokazuje kao impozantna figura, ali sada taj zastrašujući odsjaj zamjenjuje toplim osmijehom.
Tomasu Hearnsu također se pridružio trenutni prvak IBF-a u super perolakoj kategoriji Tevin Farmer, kolega Philadelphian, koga sam imao priliku gledati kako raste iz 7-4-1 kalfa boksač do a 29-4-1 svjetski prvak.
Moj posjet ne bi bio potpun bez zaustavljanja da vidim "Pazmanijskog vraga" Vinnyja Paza, uvijek jedan od mojih omiljenih boraca u akciji i karizmatičnih ličnosti. Umjesto rukovanja, pozdravio me s velikim zagrljajem i izrazio razočaranje što mi se otac nije pridružio na izložbi.
U kratkom vremenskom okviru, bilo je nemoguće upoznati sve tamošnje velike borce, uključujući Michaela Spinksa, Riddick Bowe, Errol Spence, Anthony Dirrell, i Earnie Shavers. S obzirom da je vikend Cinco de Mayo, redovi za neke meksičke legende omotani oko poda kongresnog centra. Mikey Garcia, Marco Antonio Barerra, Erik Morales, i Juan Manuel Marquez pokazali su se izuzetno popularnima. Ali ništa u usporedbi s tutnjavom pro-meksičke gomile kad je predstavljen veliki Julio Cesar Chavez.
Prisustvovati ovom događaju bio je ostvaren san i mogao sam samo poželjeti da imam više vremena za provesti na događaju. Sve je bilo tako profesionalno odrađeno, a prisutni nisu bili ugodni.
Svaka čast Okvir Fan Expo za tako izuzetan događaj.
