Also on the bill will be two more Roc Nation fighters that are managed by Victory Sports & Entertainment in undefeated prospects, super lleuger SONNY Fredrickson i ploma TYLER MCCREARY.

Arias (15-0, 7 Nocauts) de Milwaukee, was a highly touted amateur who was a 2008 i 2010 national champion, and he will be will be looking for his first professional title and a ranking in the IBF.

In Cunningham, Arias is fighting a 14 year veteran who has wins over former world title challengers Antwun Echols and Rubin Williams.

This will be the 2nd consecutive fight for the 26 year-old Arias in his hometown where he has proven to be a bona fide attraction and ticket seller.

En Juny 4, Arias stopped Jorge Silva in three rounds at the same venue and had Milwaukee fight fans eager for him to return.

Fredrickson of Toledo has a record of 13-0 amb nou nocauts, will make his third start of 2016.

La 22 year-old power puncher, recently identified by Ring Magazine as one of the new faces to keep an eye on in the sport, continues to develop as he will take on the tough veteran Ramesis Gil.

Gil has wins over previously undefeated Carney Bowman & Luis Joel Gonzales.

The speedy and highly skilled McCreary, també de Toledo, Ohio té un registre de 10-0 with six knockouts and like Fredrickson, will be making his third appearance of 2016.

McCreary’s opponent will be veteran gatekeeper Dwayne Wisdom.

“This is a big night for our three fighters,” said Rick Torres of Victory Sports and Entertainment.

“These are three of the brightest prospects in boxing, i en “Cuba’s” case, it is time for him to make a move to the next level. We feel he is getting better everyday under John David Jackson, and with a win he becomes a legitimate contender in the middleweight division. The fights will only get bigger from here for “Cuba”, his time is now and we’re confident that he will become a force in the middleweight division for years to come. Sonny and Tyler are coming along very nicely. They are getting the right fights and getting much needed experience as they continue in their development. Gil is a capable opponent, who should provide Sonny a good test, while Wisdom should be a good learning experience for Tyler, after that, we will look to step them up with each fight.

“It will be a great honor to face Andre Ward on August 6 and better yet in his own backyard,” said Brand. “Fighting somebody with such an illustrious career, facing a guy that perhaps hasn’t lost a round in his entire life, is even more thrilling. We were set to face each other last November, but he was forced to pull out of the fight with an injury. Now the time has come to fight him and I can’t wait to derail his future plans. I’ll work hard to spoil them.”

 

“Andre Ward’s quest to become the best light heavyweight on the planet and boxing’s number one pound-for-pound fighter continues on Agost 6,"Va dir David Itskowitch, COO of Boxing Roc Nation Sports. “Alexander Brand has been waiting for this fight since last year and we have no doubt he is going to enter the ring hungry for a huge victory.

“Undefeated for the last two decades, technically brilliant and the last American man to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing, Andre Ward is one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world,” said Peter Nelson, Vicepresident Executiu, HBO Sports. “On August 6º, Andre continues his move up in weight to campaign in the 175-pound division against challenger Alexander Brand in front a hometown crowd at the Oracle.”

 

Conegut pel seu fort caràcter i la integritat fora del ring i l'instint de guerrer en el seu interior, 32 year-old Andre Ward’s skill and talent were apparent early in his outstanding amateur career. He racked up every title in the books, culminating in a gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 2004 Jocs Olímpics d'Atenes, Grècia. As the only male American boxer to claim Olympic gold in the past

decade, Ward, es va unir a la talla de Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard i Oscar De La Hoya. Es va convertir en professional al desembre 18, 2004, scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Chris Molina at Staples Center in a fight that was televised live on HBO. He has gone on to rack up 27 more victories since then, building an ever-growing legion of fans in the process. Després de convertir-se en el campió del món de Ring Magazine i AMB súper mitjà, rising to the number two spot on the pound-for-pound list and winning the 2011 Boxejador de l'Any (ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Ring Magazine i l'Associació d'Escriptors de Boxa d'Amèrica), es va anunciar que la sala ha signat un acord exclusiu de promoció amb Roc Nation Esports al gener 2015, l'obertura d'un nou capítol en la seva carrera en la boxa pisos. El producte Bay Area tornar al ring al juny 20, 2015 a l'Oracle Arena davant dels seus fanàtics locals a Oakland, Califòrnia i va anotar un nocaut en el novè assalt sobre Paul Smith, continuing his unbeaten streak which dates back to when he was a 12-year-old amateur. In his most recent fight on March 26, 2016, Ward made his highly publicized 175-pound debut against Cuba’s undefeated and IBF number one rated light heavyweight contender Sullivan Barrera in front of frenzied crowd at Oracle Arena that including luminaries such as Michael B. Jordània, Stephen Curry, Marshawn Lynch and Draymond Green. Ward expertly managed the fight and began to unravel his opponent in the third round when he caught Barrera with a counter left hook, dropping him to the canvas. The rest was a routine victory for Ward, who scored a dominating dispatch of Barrera by way of unanimous decision after 12 rondes. Ward looks forward to a formidable challenge in Brand who is now the only obstacle in the way of his anticipated showdown against Unified Light Heavyweight World Champion Sergey Kovalev in the fall.

 

Bogotà, Colombia native Alexander Brand (25-1, 19 KOs) turned professional at the relatively late age of 32 following a long and accomplished amateur career that saw him tally over 400 victòries. He burst on to the professional scene in 2009, scoring knockout wins in his first 12 fights and winning 15 de la seva primera 17 bouts inside the distance. His first and only professional setback came via an eight-round split decision loss to current WBC Super Middleweight World Champion Badou Jack in a 2012 fight that many ringside observers thought Brand had won. Des d'aquesta baralla, Marca ha passat totes les proves d'anell amb gran èxit, notching eight consecutive victories. En la seva última baralla, Brand faced the sternest test of his career since the Jack fight when he fought a favored, undefeated and highly touted light heavyweight Medzhid Bektemirov on December 5, 2015 at Osceola Heritage Center in Kissimmee, Florida. Brand weathered an early Bektemirov blitz, including recovering from a first round knockdown, and notched a 10-round split decision victory by the scores of 98-91, 98-91 i 94-95. La 39 year-old Brand, who has held several regional title including the WBC Latino Super Middleweight and the WBC Silver Interim Super Middleweight Championships, will be looking to pull off another upset on Agost 6 and thrust himself into light heavyweight title contention.

Washington, Corrent continu (Maig 14, 2016) - 122 pound contender Luis “Orlandito” Del Valle (22-2, 16 Nocauts) de Bayamón, Puerto Rico scored a clear-cut, eight-round unanimous decision over local southpaw Thomas “KO” Snow (18-3, 12 Nocauts) el divendres, Maig 13 en l'Armory a Washington DC, D.C.
Fighting on Roc Nation Sports’ Throne Boxing on BET, Del Valle looked to set the tone by pressuring the DC-based Snow in the opening round. En el segon, the former NABA featherweight champion landed a number of straight right hands, including one that sent Snow down hard. Sensing that a knockout may be imminent, Del Valle swarmed Snow but he made it out of the round.
The third saw Del Valle land a picture perfect left hook that dropped Snow again, who effectively tied up after tasting the canvas. Del Valle continued to press the action in the fourth and fifth stanzas, while Snow began moving his hands but still held frequently. Snow found moments of success in the sixth and had his best round in the seventh, during which he connected with a hard shot that got an off balance Del Valle’s attention. Still gunning for a knockout, Del Valle pushed the action in the eighth however, Snow tied him up on multiple occasions and finished on his feet.
While most fans and ringsiders had Del Valle winning at least six rounds, the scores were surprisingly 76-74 en les tres targetes.
"Thomas Snow was a very game fighter and I tip my hat off to him for being a tough competitor,” Del Valle said shortly after the victory. “I would’ve liked to have finished him, but he was constantly tying me up. I thought the referee would’ve warned him or taken a point, but that didn’t happen. This fight was a good learning experience and like JAY Z says ‘it’s onto the next one.’”
With Snow out of his way, Del Valle’s sights are set on bigger opportunities.
"I want to get my hands on one of the champions or top contenders at 122 lliura. Ever since I started boxing, my goal was to become a world champion. I’m hoping to have the chance to fight for one of the belts soon because there’s nothing I want more than to bring a world title belt back to Puerto Rico.”

King’s Promotions Thomas “KO” Snow ready for statement win over Del Valle Friday night in Washington, Corrent continu

Leave a comment
Washington, Corrent continu (Maig 12, 2016)– Aquest divendres night in Washington, Corrent continu, Thomas Neu will meet Luis Orlando Del Valle (21-2, 16 Nocauts) in the co-feature bout of nationally televised show live on BET.

The show is promoted by Roc Nation Sports.

Snow of Washington, DC has a record of 18-2 amb 12 knockouts and this is a big opportunity fighting on a big platform.
“El camp d'entrenament va ser genial. It was a perfect camp and now it is time to do something, and I am going out there to get the win.”
Asked what he knew about Del Valle, Snow did know much other than some basic information.
“Del Valle is a conventional fighter from Puerto Rico. He has a similar record, but hasn’t fought many good guys. I saw his fight with (l'ex campió del món) Vic Darchinyan. (A fight that Del Valle lost via unanimous decision in 2012).
This is a fight that most boxing experts believe is a crossroads fight, with the winner leaping into contention, but Snow does not feel the pressure of the fight.

“I think he has more to lose then me. I am moving up two weight classes. I would prefer to be fighting at 115 lliura, but the opportunities have been coming at higher weights. Amb això es diu, I don’t think he is on my level. So I am confident in this fight and the win will be an awesome breakthrough.”
Despite fighting in his hometown, Snow does not think that plays any part in who will win the fight.
“There is no advantage to that. A la boxa, it just takes one punch and that crowd I not help that.”
“I know what I did in training camp and I am prepared. I am not fearful of any man. God blessed me with skills and I am going to do the work. I just know by keeping God in your life, everything will go great for you.”
Said Snow’s promoter, Marshall Kauffman of King’s Promotions, “This is a great opportunity for Thomas. He has shown throughout his career that he has talent. His only losses have been to undefeated guys, but he has had a tremendous camp, i el divendres night he will show that he should be one of the top contenders in the super bantamweight division”

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Maig 11, 2016) - El dimarts, Maig 10, Washington, D.C.’s undefeated Dusty Hernández-Harrison (29-0, 16 KOs) and Bakersfield, Califòrnia Mike “The Silent Assassin” Dallas Jr. (21-3-1, 10 KOs) participated in a media workout at Urban Boxing DC in Washington, D.C. in advance of their May 13 fight at the DC Armory. Hernandez-Harrison vs. Dallas Jr. will headline a la boxa tron event in a 10-round welterweight bout that will be televised live on BET beginning at 10:00 p.m. I/PT and streamed live on global music and entertainment platform, TIDAL.com. Co-featured fighter Thomas “KO” Snow (18-2, 12 KOs) de Washington, D.C., who faces Dorado, Port Ric deOrlando “Orlandito” Del Valle (20-2, 15 KOs), and undercard fighters Mike Balogun (5-0, 4 KOs) of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, who will fight Capitol Heights, Maryland Devon Mosley (0-4-1), and Greenbelt, Maryland Sam “Vanilla Gorilla” Crossed (2-0, 1 KO) of who takes on Damion Reed (2-13, 1 KO) of Danville Virginia were also in attendance during the media workout el dimarts.

 

After shadow boxing around the ring and a few rounds working the bags, all five fighters participated in interviews with invited media members.

 

Below is what the fighters had to say during the workout:

 

Polsegós HERNANDEZ-HARRISON:

“I think a lot of people are underestimating Mike Dallas Jr. I think they’re counting him out too early. A lot of times when people come back from a tough loss they train harder, they take it more seriously and erase all the mistakes they made in previous training camps, so that’s what I’m expecting him to do. Luckily Barry Hunter [Hernandez-Harrison’s trainer] knows him well as a fighter, so I’ve been going off of what he says.

“I’ve been getting great sparring in. I came home from sparring Canelo Alvarez and went right into to sparring with Lamont Peterson, Austin truita, Demetrius Hopkins and other fighters on the card. Just really good sparring.

 

“I’m excited to fight on BET. It’s pretty cool. I think it’s good to bring boxing to a new audience. Esperem, I put on a good fight to get them entertained. And we have Justine Skye performing before our bout. She’s got a completely different fan base than I do and I think it’s another good way to add a new audience to our event.

 

“I took a lot of things out of training with Canelo at his training camp. It was good to get a different perspective of a training camp. Usually it’s all about me, everything is catered to me and everyone is concerned about me, so it was good to take a step back and see how someone like him at the top level prepares for a world title fight. per sort, I walked away knowing I’ve been doing everything right.

 

“Fighting in my hometown of Washington, D.C. is better for me. I feel like I have more to fight for. I have more to lose, which for me helps. You’ll never hear me say “no mas” in D.C.

 

“At my age, my preparation changes with every fight. I remember fighting in Connecticut in April then Miami in August, which seems really close, but Billy Briscoe [Hernandez-Harrison’s assistant trainer] was there and said ‘you’ve gotten so much stronger.’ That’s just the age that I am right now. I’m really maturing and getting that man strength. Every fight I feel a lot stronger.”

 

 

MIKE “THE SILENT ASSASSIN” DALLAS JR.:

“I feel very good ahead of this fight…confident and strong. I’m just ready to go out there and perform. There’s more pressure on him than me fighting in his hometown.

 

“I’ve gotten good training in for this fight. The Bay Area has a lot of good sparring out there right now. I had good training with Ben Bautista [Dallas Jr.’s trainer] and we’ve been pushing it. I had to dig deep in training to get through it and I’m ready to dig deep in the fight.

 

“I took some time off to let my body rest and heal and to let my mind get together. Now I feel great. I’m ready to come back and get back on top of things. I’m going to go out there and do my thing.

 

“I know Dusty is a pretty good fighter. I know he can box. I’m just ready to go out there, be smart and execute the game plan. I’m ready for people to know I’m back and there mentally. I’m ready to get back in the game and take care of these people in these bigger fights.”

 

 

THOMAS “KO” SNOW:

“I know my opponent [Orlando Del Valle] is a conventional fighter from Puerto Rico. He’s a basic fighter…a basic one-two puncher. He’s the best opponent I’ve faced to date. Both of us have two losses, so I know it’s a crossroads fight for us. We’re going to go in there and do what we came to do.

“I’ve fought in D.C. a lot of times. It’s my home.

 

“It’s awesome because I’ve known Dusty since he was six years old. We used to run together. We were just talking about that over in the corner. If you watch at any of his amateur fights, you’ll hear me in the background cheering him on. I’ve been in his life for a long time and it’s awesome seeing a young guy get his opportunity and make the sport of boxing grow.

 

“I know our amateur program in D.C. is awesome so you have to give a shout out to all the amateurs. D.C. is about to be the mecca of boxing once again. We will have six, seven or eight champions in the District of Columbia. It’s rich with boxing.

 

“I think fighting on BET is a great thing. I think it’s great that boxing is on free TV now and people don’t have to pay for it. For those people who can’t afford those things, I think it’s awesome for them and I think it will make the sport of boxing better.

 

“I’ve changed a lot over the years. I’m supposed to be dead, locked up or in jail. Having God in your life, your perspective of life and everything changes. I’m calm and comfortable in my situation. I thank God for the opportunity. I thank Roc Nation Sports for the opportunity and I thank everybody who is supporting Thomas “KO” Snow. We’re ready to do it.”

 

 

MIKE BALOGUN:

“During my career, when I was playing football, I used boxing as another form of training for cardio. After my career was over, it was natural for me to keep training and now we’re here. Football is a business. I got released and had another opportunity to play in the Canadian Football League as well as the Arena Football League, but football takes a toll on your body and I played the game for a long time. It was just natural for me to transition. I still needed something to stay active, because without activity, I didn’t feel like myself.

 

"No sé molt sobre la meva oponent [Devon Mosley]. I know he’s a southpaw just like me That’s pretty much all I know and all I need to know.

 

“I’ve prepared for this fight just like any other fight…hard work and dedicating myself to my craft. At the end of the day I’ll reap the fruits of my labor.”

 

 

SAM “VANILLA GORILLA” CROSSED:

"No sé molt sobre la meva oponent [Damion Reed]. I know he is a tall left-handed guy. I only watched a little video of him. I’ve been sparring a lot of left handers and then we just happened to get a left-handed guy, so it worked out pretty well.

 

“I’m still a little disappointed about my last performance in D.C., so I am going to come out and put on a show on Divendres, Maig 13.

 

“Anyone you get in the ring with poses a threat, però al mateix temps, I am confident in what I have done to prepare. I’ve been sparring guys with 20 baralles com a professional, de forma, I think I’m good.

 

“I played football and baseball growing up. Fonamentalment, what got me into boxing was that I got picked on when I was younger and smacked around on the basketball court. I always said when I grow up I want to be able to beat up the dudes that picked on me. What’s funny is that a lot of guys that bullied me are now begging me for tickets to my fights.”

Orlando Del Valle made his professional debut on April 11, 2008 at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey where he knocked out Rey Rivera in the third round. By October 2009, he had compiled a record of 7-0, including a third-round knockout victory over Christopher Rivera at Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan, Port Ric. Al juny 6, 2011, at Roseland Ballroom in New York City, he notched an impressive ten-round unanimous decision victory over Dat Nguyen in a fight telecast on Showtime’s ShoBox. Al setembre 29, 2012, Del Valle, amb un registre de 16-0, made is HBO debut at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods Resort in Mashantucket, Connecticut against Three-Time World Champion Vic “The Raging Bull” Darchinyan. Darchinyan controlled a majority of the bout, relying on his experience to pressure the young contender. In the ninth round Del Valle’s perseverance almost carried the day when he staggered Darchinyan with a tremendous left hook, badly hurting the former world champion. Darchinyan, però, was able to survive the round and hold on for a ten-round unanimous decision victory. After the defeat, Del Valle moved to Mexico City to train with Hall of Fame trainer Nacho Beristain. He rebounded in 2013 with two technical knockout victories over Andre Wilson and Juan Jose Beltran. Al maig 31, 2014, in a bout televised by HBO Latino from the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Del Valle faced another tough opponent in undefeated fellow Puerto Rican Luis Rosa. The ten-round, evenly matched fight went the distance producing a memorable, crowd-pleasing battle. En la cinquena ronda, Del Valle sent Rosa to the canvas with a left hook and in the seventh round Rosa was deducted a point for a late punch, but in the end Rosa was awarded a unanimous decision victory. Since the Rosa setback, Del Valle has won all three of his fights, with none of them going the distance, including his last fight on April 9, in which he scored a second round technical knockout win over Josh Crespo at Rockingham Park in Salem, New Hampshire. Del Valle will look to keep that streak going on May 13 against Snow.

 

Deeply rooted in D.C. and the capital community, Thomas Neu is an experienced fighter with an impressive record of 18-2 (10 KOs). Snow, who supplements his boxing earnings by working as a floor technician at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, Maryland, began boxing at the age of ten at Round One Gym in Capitol Heights, Maryland, compiling a stellar amateur record of 129-10, which included three Washington D.C. Metro Golden Gloves championships. En 2004, he took home the national PAL amateur tournament title in the 119-pound weight class. Al novembre 5, 2005, he made his professional debut with authority, knocking out Ronald Viera in the first round at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Winston-Salem, Carolina del Nord. He would go on to win his next nine fights, with seven of those wins coming by way of knockout, before he ran into fellow undefeated prospect and future world title challenger Teon Kennedy who dealt Snow his first professional loss in July of 2008. A streak of six consecutive wins would follow before he suffered another setback, again against an undefeated prospect in Nate Green. Following the defeat, Snow took nearly two and a half years off from boxing. The southpaw returned to the ring on March 6, 2015 and continued to live up to his “KO” moniker with a first round technical knockout win over Christopher Sanchez at the Omar Shrine in Charleston, Carolina del Sud. Snow followed that win with a second round knockout of Tibor Nadori on December 4, 2015 at the Rosecroft Raceway close to home in Fort Washington, Maryland. He now faces a crossroads fight when he takes on Del Valle on May 13.

 

At the age of nineteen, Darmani Rock is already drawing comparisons to former heavyweight greats of the past. Rock has received high praise for his powerful jab and ambidexterity. Standing at 6’4”, he moves with an unparalleled lightness and speed for a fighter his size. Rock earned nation-wide accolades following a banner year in 2014 when he took home the USA Boxing Junior and Youth Open, Youth Continental and Youth World super heavyweight titles. During the 2014 Junior and Youth Open in Reno, Nevada, Rock shut out the 2013 National Youth Champion, John Luna, 3-0. This impressive performance was followed by another super heavyweight title at the Youth Continental Championships in March 2014 in Quito, Ecuador where he defeated Argentina’s Kervin Espinola, 3-0. Rock then took home the gold medal at the prestigious World Youth Championships in Bulgaria in April 2014 by a 2-1 decision over Germany’s Peter Kadiru. Rock also took home the 2014 World Junior Amateur Championship and capped off 2014 by being named Philadelphia’s Amateur Boxer of the Year at the annual Briscoe Awards. His most noteworthy win, però, came in May 2015 when he beat Cam Awesome, a career amateur who has been called the next Chris Byrd, in Las Vegas for the National Golden Gloves title. Rock also captured the 2015 U.S. National Amateur super heavyweight championship. He ended his amateur career as the number one rated super heavyweight in the United States (and the number five rated super heavyweight in the world) anant 19-5 in national tournaments. His assault on the heavyweight division begins Maig 13 against Black.

 

Rockville, Maryland resident Carlos Black is better known to capitol region boxing as the “DC Diamond Cutter.” Turning professional late in life at the age of thirty, making his professional debut on April 23, 2015 at Tall Cedar’s Hall in Baltimore, Maryland scoring a four-round unanimous decision over the more experienced Lonnie Kornegay. Black, però, would fall short of victory in his next three bouts to George Arias on May 8, 2015 at the Prudential Center in Newark, Nova Jersey, to Dennis Benson by a hard-fought four-round split decision in his return to Tall Cedar’s Hall on July 9, 2015 and to Jerry Forrest on September 26, 2015 at the Masonic Temple in Norfolk, Virginia. Tough like his nickname and propelled by his steadfast will, he believes he can one day fulfill his dream of becoming heavyweight champion of the world. That dream will come a step closer to reality should he defeat the highly touted Rock.

Abner Cotto is part of the famous Cotto boxing family of Puerto Rico. Legendary Miguel Cotto is a second cousin, while uncles Miguel Cotto Sr. and Evangelista Cotto were pro boxers themselves. Cotto is looking for his second straight win following a loss in a world-title elimination bout against current WBA Super Featherweight World Champion Javier Fortuna. En Maig 13 he faces the vastly experienced Juan Jose Beltrán who has faced current World Champion Leo Santa Cruz and former World Champions Eric Morel and Rico Ramos.

 

Brooklyn’s unbeaten Junior Younan faces his stiffest test to date on Maig 13 quan s'enfronti Austin Marcum. Younan returned following a nine-month injury induced layoff on Març 26 on the Andre Ward vs. Sullivan Barrera undercard by pounding out a four-round unanimous decision over Carlos Lozano. Marcum is riding a four-fight winning streak and plans to take his 20-year-old opponent into unfamiliar territory, as Younan has yet to fight past four rounds.

 

Former Washington Redskin Mike Balogun looks to make it six straight wins since turning professional as a boxer in October of 2014. Balogun was a standout inside linebacker at the University of Oklahoma and spent a year on the Redskins’ roster in 2010. He also played briefly for the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers before retiring and becoming a full time boxer. Looking to stop Balogun’s rise as a pugilist on Maig 13 will be fellow local fighter Devon Mosley who is seeking his first professional win.

 

Local favorite Sam creuats, has limited amateur experience, which his opponent Damion Reed, a 16-fight veteran hopes to exploit. Crossed, who works as bar tender, is expected to have hundreds of supporters behind him as he attempts to go to 3-0. Reed recently lost two hard-fought majority decisions to two cruiserweights and has a draw with Ken Moody.

 

Standing 6’6” and weighing 250 lliura, Sensació de pes pesat xinès Zhang Zhilei has shown boxing skills rarely seen in a big man since turning pro in August 2014. Undefeated in eight fights as a professional, Zhilei was a highly-decorated amateur, winning a silver medal in the super-heavyweight division at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, as well as bronze medals at the 2007 world amateur championships and 2009 AIBA world championships. He faces an opponent to be determined on Maig 13.

Provinents de Washington, D.C., Dusty Hernandez-Harrison has been touted as the city’s “best boxing prospect since Sugar Ray Leonard” by the Washingtonian Magazine. He began fighting at the age of six at the boxing exhibition at the Ritz Nightclub in Northwest D.C. and became a sanctioned amateur at the age of 8. En el moment de la seva primera baralla professional a l'edat de 17, Hernandez-Harrison compiled an amateur record of 167-30, guanyant diversos campionats del món Ringside, Campionat Nacional Guants de Plata i tres rectes Nacional Guants d'Or Campionat de 2007-09. Al juny 11, 2011, as the youngest licensed professional fighter at the time, Hernandez-Harrison made his pro debut defeating Alphonso Alexander via a unanimous decision at the Desoto Civic Center in Southaven, Mississipí. Six months later in his third pro fight, Hernandez-Harrison made his hometown debut on the undercard of the HBO World Championship Boxing broadcast of Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson and dazzled with a first round technical knockout of Terrell Davis. On his way to being crowned WBC Youth Welterweight World Champion in November 2013, Hernandez-Harrison stopped former National Golden Gloves Champion Kelly Wright in the fourth round in February of that year and two weeks later defeated Aaron Anderson via a six-round unanimous decision. In April 2013 at Dover Downs Casino and Resort in Dover, Delaware, he won a unanimous decision against Puerto Rico’s Jonathan Garcia and on Maig 18 in front of a raucous hometown crowd of 3,000 at the University of the District of Colombia, he knocked out Eddie Soto with a right hand in the fifth round. Hernandez-Harrison proceeded to earn the “2013 Knockout of the Year” for the Soto fight and the “2013 Fighter of the Year” from Go Fight Live (GFL.TV). Al novembre 2, 2013 al Madison Square Garden, Hernandez-Harrison became the WBC Youth World Champion, winning a ten-round, unanimous decision over Josh “Pit Bull” Torres. Dos mesos més tard, in his first nationally televised fight on ESPN’s Divendres Night Fights, Hernandez-Harrison outlasted Tim Witherspoon Jr. via an eighth round unanimous decision victory, after which actor and director Mark Wahlberg tweeted that Hernandez-Harrison is “the truth.” Featured again on ESPN’s Divendres Night Fights on March 7, 2014, Hernandez-Harrison faced southpaw Mike Balasi and came back to drop Balasi to the canvas twice en route to a six-round unanimous decision victory. de gener 9, 2015, soon after signing a promotional agreement with Roc Nation Sports, Hernandez-Harrison headlined the promoter’s inaugural event at The Theater at Madison Square in a fight televised by Fox Sports 1. In a battle for the vacant WBC Continental Americas Welterweight Championship against New Yorker Tommy “The Razor” Rainone, Hernandez-Harrison scored a dominant ten-round unanimous decision victory. In his most recent fight on January 29, 2016, Hernandez-Harrison scored a decisive win over Angel Hernandez via a third round technical knockout at The Belvedere in Elk Grove, Illinois. Hernandez-Harrison recently entered into agreements with FILA and GEICO to be a brand ambassador for both companies. He is the only professional boxer to represent each prestigious brand.

 

Mike Dallas Jr. was born into a boxing family and tabbed by experts during his teen years as a future professional star. At age 29, he’s in the midst of a comeback that lands him in Washington, D.C. against local unbeaten favorite Dusty Hernandez-Harrison that may be the most important fight of his life. Com amateur, Dallas shared a ring with current world champions Terence Crawford (whom Dallas claims he beat three times) and Danny Garcia as well as three-time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren. He won multiple national amateur titles and qualified for the 2004 i 2008 Proves olímpiques. Dallas turned professional on March 20, 2008 against Alejandro Valladares in San Jose, California and won by unanimous decision. He would go unbeaten in his next 17 baralles. When he faced Josesito Lopez for the vacant NABF super lightweight title on January 28, 2011 in his national television debut on ESPN at Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, Califòrnia, he was shockingly stopped in the seventh round.Cinc mesos més tard, Dallas met fellow rising contender Mauricio Herrera. In an excellent fight, again at Pechanga Resort and Casino, Dallas lost by a razor thin majority decision. Despite the setback, Dallas’ performance showed boxing experts he was back to contender status. In his next two fights, Dallas dominated former Miguel Angel Gonzales on February 17, 2012 and knocked out Javier Castro on June 22, 2012 to capture the WBO Latino light welterweight title. Those wins brought Dallas to his biggest opportunity to date, an WBC super lightweight interim world title fight against Lucas Matthysse, al gener 26, 2013 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Just after negotiations for the fight were finalized, Dallas learned that his father, Mike Dallas Sr., who introduced his son to boxing at age six, passed away suddenly at just 45 anys d'edat. Dallas Jr., però, did not pull out of the Matthysee fight. En la nit del combat, Dallas Jr. was all there physically, but mentally a fight of that magnitude was too much under the circumstances and Matthysee, probably the hardest puncher in boxing, imposed his will on Dallas, scoring a first round knockout. He then took the break he should have taken before the Matthysee fight, spending two years away from the ring. When Dallas felt the urge to fight again, he contacted his trainer Ben Bautista and the pair ventured to Tijuana, Mèxic, where Dallas picked up two quick wins against Alejandro Alonso on November 20, 2015 and most recently on December 19 against Odillon Rivera. He now returns to fight in the spotlight again on Maig 13 in a true crossroads fight against Hernandez-Harrison.

 

At the age of nineteen, Darmani Rock is already drawing comparisons to former heavyweight greats of the past. Rock has received high praise for his powerful jab and ambidexterity. Standing at 6’4”, he moves with an unparalleled lightness and speed for a fighter his size. Rock earned nation-wide accolades following a banner year in 2014 when he took home the USA Boxing Junior and Youth Open, Youth Continental and Youth World super heavyweight titles.

A continuació es mostra el que els lluitadors, promotors, entrenadors, gerents i altres tarima hostes han comentat en la conferència de premsa:

 

 

Andre Ward, Campió del món dues vegades i lluitador de primera categoria lliura-per-lliura:

"Vull donar les gràcies a tots per venir a terme com de costum. L'àrea de la badia és un lloc bonic. Sovint no reben suficient crèdit per al talent que ve d'aquí, però per a la base de fans, és tremenda. Estic agraït per ser d'un lloc com aquest i agraïts de tenir l'amor i suport en tots els esdeveniments que portem aquí. Estic agraït que jo i els nois com Marshawn Lynch, Damian Lillard i els guerrers van posar aquest lloc en el mapa i les persones s'estan donant compte en l'escenari nacional. Això és molt important per a mi.

 

"Quant a la baralla en si mateixa, És molt simple per a mi ... qualsevol que em coneix, saben com treball i saben com em tic-tac. Jo no quedar atrapat en el que es ve. Jo no quedar atrapat en el que diu la gent. Estic al corrent del que es diu. Jo sé el que el meu oponent ha estat dient i ho porto a la seva paraula. He fet tot el que se suposa que he de fer, com sempre ho faig i com ho havia fet l'última 10 anys de la meva carrera. M'he pres en la millor ... si no és altre campió, llavors és un dels principals ... i això no és diferent. Vostès s'acaba de saber que estic centrat i bloquejat en com sempre estic. Estic preparat i estic a punt per la guerra arribat Març 26."

SULLIVAN BARRERA, Nombre un classificat FIB contendent de pes semipesado:

"Jo volia dir gràcies per venir aquí. Vull dir gràcies HBO, Gracies a tothom. Gràcies a Andre Ward d'acceptar la meva lluita. Prometo tots els que vénen a la sorra que he tingut una gran preparació i això és un gran somni. En aquesta nit, Vaig a tenir un gran espectacle per a tothom ".

DAVID Itskowitch, COO boxa - Roc Nation Esports:

"Dos dels millors pesos semipesants al planeta xocaran en aquest Març 26. Tenen un rècord combinat de 45-0 amb 27 Nocauts i no cal dir, tampoc s'ha provat la derrota com a professional. Mentre que cada home té un formidable oponent al davant d'ell, tots dos tenen els seus ulls sobre Sergey Kovalev i els seus tres cinturons de títol mundial, però primer han negocis que atendre en dissabte nit.

 

"Cada vegada que surto a Oakland per a un esdeveniment i estic amb Andre en una funció en què està parlant als mitjans, em xoca que, òbviament,, ell és un talent especial esportivament, però també és una persona especial i espero que tothom aquí a Oakland entén i aprecia que. Ell és un home de família amb principis que sempre tracta de fer el correcte i que és una cosa que és rar en la vida en aquests dies, però és especialment rara en els esports. Espero que vostès ho aprecia. carreres de boxa no duren per sempre. Ell no va a estar lluitant per sempre, de manera que tot el món hauria apreciar el que tens aquí a Andre Ward.

 

"Andre va capturar una medalla d'or en els Jocs Olímpics d'Atenes i és l'últim U.S. boxejador d'haver-ho fet. La seva llista d'enemics vençuts es llegeix com un qui és qui de la divisió súper mitjà. També va dominar i va noquejar a l'ex campió mundial de pes semipesado, Txad Dawson en el seu 2012 confrontació. En la seva última baralla, que va dominar el dues vegades retador al títol mundial de Paul Smith Juny 20 en l'Oracle Arena. S'embarca en un nou capítol de la seva carrera en Març 26, tornar a Oracle Arena de nou, com ell fa el seu moviment fins a la divisió de pes lleuger a punt per fer el que va fer en la divisió de pes súper mitjà ... neteja cap a fora i dominar a tots que s'interposi en el seu camí ".

DOVE NICOLE, Vicepresident de Màrqueting i Conseller General - Main Events:

"M'agradaria donar les gràcies a Andre Ward. Ell no va tenir d'assumir un lluitador invicte en la seva primera baralla en el pes semipesado, però ho va fer i crec que és encomiable.

 

"En la seva última baralla, Sullivan es va convertir en el retador obligatori de cinturó de la FIB de Sergey Kovalev. Podia haver-se assegut enrere i va esperar que la seva baralla pel títol, però en canvi es va veure aquesta lluita contra Andre Ward com una oportunitat per arribar realment a la grandesa i ho va fer. Com tots vostès saben, Main Events i Roc Nation Sports tenen grans plans per Andre Ward i Sergey Kovalev finals d'aquest any i Sullivan Barrera pot realment molest perquè carro de la poma.

 

"Tots dos homes, Sullivan i Andre, tenim tot muntat en el resultat de Dissabte de lluita. En el clima que tenim en la boxa en aquest moment, és refrescant veure veritables guerrers que no tenen por de prendre riscos. Tots dos mereixen el nostre respecte i admiració per aquesta. Això és el que el nostre esport ha de ser aproximadament.

 

"Sullivan Barrera està invicte amb un rècord de 17-0 amb 12 guanya per la via del nocaut. Acaba de fer 34, fa un mes, el que es podria pensar és una mica vell per a aquest moment de la seva carrera. El que potser no sap és que tenia una reeixida carrera amateur a Cuba i després va perdre diversos anys del seu primer mentre estava de desertar als Estats Units. Ha recorregut un camí molt llarg per estar aquí avui per aquest moment i aquesta oportunitat. Ell té gana, que té confiança i està a punt ".

VIRGILIO HUNTER, entrenador d'Andre Ward:

"Es tracta d'una targeta fantàstica amb fantàstiques atletes que estan tractant de fer el seu camí en el món de la boxa. Si aquesta lluita es duia a terme en qualsevol altra ciutat, seria un gran esdeveniment. El que volem fer és assegurar-se que entén Oakland, i que l'àrea de la badia que envolta entén, la magnitud d'aquest esdeveniment pel que pot seguir per portar la boxa de classe mundial a Oakland. Oakland és un brou de cultiu per als millors lluitadors i ja els tenen. El més que ens donen suport, molt més com que aquestes lluites es faran visibles i veurà el gran moment a la part superior.

 

"Diuen que altres xarxes serà una combatent, però HBO fa que les estrelles, així que estem encantats de ser part d'aquest. Els demanem que vinguin a donar suport a aquesta lluita. Anem a terme Dissabte nit i gaudeixin d'una bona nit de boxa de la part superior ".

BEN lires, Entrenador de Sullivan Barrera:

"Vull agrair a totes les persones que han organitzat aquest esdeveniment súper en dissabte. Som aquí per posar en un gran espectacle i Sullivan ha fet tot el possible per preparar-se per aquest esdeveniment. Ell sap que els desafiaments al davant d'ell, però ell creu en si mateix i creu que aquest és el seu temps per mostrar al públic i el públic vagi a veure que això està on està. Ell hi és per fer una declaració.

Aquest és el moment en el començament d'un moviment. Barrera només passa a ser la primera víctima i tractarem amb ell en conseqüència. Hem estat escoltant un munt de xerrada i conversa que tenia lloc en el qual es preocupa, i sabem que ell creu que tot el que està dient. Un cop més, estem entusiasmats amb aquesta oportunitat i que no volem perdre aquest moment històric en dissabte nit ".

"Vine Març 26, Sé que tinc una baralla molt difícil per davant de mi. Sé Jayson Vélez és un veterà amb experiència en el ring. És un guerrer. Ell té un avantatge d'abast de sis polzades per sobre de mi, així que serà una molt gran baralla. Jo sé que ell ve d'una derrota, així que sé que realment vol recuperar-se i mostrar a tots que ell segueix sent un contendent pel títol mundial.
