Washington, DC (Mai 14, 2016) - 122 pound contender Luis “Orlandito” Del Valle (22-2, 16 Lui KO) de Bayamon, Puerto Rico scored a clear-cut, eight-round unanimous decision over local southpaw Thomas “KO” Snow (18-3, 12 Lui KO) vineri, Mai 13 la Armory DC din Washington, 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. A doua, 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 pe toate cele trei scorecard.
"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 de lire sterline. 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, DC

Lasă un comentariu
Washington, DC (Mai 12, 2016)– Acest vineri night in Washington, DC, Thomas zăpadă will meet Luis Orlando Del Valle (21-2, 16 Lui KO) 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 cu 12 knockouts and this is a big opportunity fighting on a big platform.
“Tabără de instruire a mers mare. 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 (Fostul campion mondial) 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 de lire sterline, but the opportunities have been coming at higher weights. Acestea fiind spuse, 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. În box, 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, și vineri night he will show that he should be one of the top contenders in the super bantamweight division”

WASHINGTON, D.C.. (Mai 11, 2016) - Marti, Mai 10, Washington, D.C.’s undefeated Dusty Hernandez-Harrison (29-0, 16 KO) and Bakersfield, Lui California Mike “The Silent Assassin” Dallas Jr. (21-3-1, 10 KO) 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 tron box event in a 10-round welterweight bout that will be televised live on BET beginning at 10:00 p.m. ȘI/PT and streamed live on global music and entertainment platform, TIDAL.com. Co-featured fighter Thomas “KO” Snow (18-2, 12 KO) de Washington, DC, who faces Dorado, Puerto RicoOrlando “Orlandito” Del Valle (20-2, 15 KO), and undercard fighters Mike Balogun (5-0, 4 KO) of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, who will fight Capitol Heights, Lui Maryland Devon Mosley (0-4-1), and Greenbelt, Lui 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 marti.

 

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:

 

DUSTY 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 Trout, 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. Sperăm că, 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. Luckily, 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.

 

"Nu știu foarte multe despre adversarul meu [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:

"Nu știu prea multe despre adversarul meu [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 Vineri, Mai 13.

 

“Anyone you get in the ring with poses a threat, dar, în același timp, I am confident in what I have done to prepare. I’ve been sparring guys with 20 lupte pro, așa, I think I’m good.

 

“I played football and baseball growing up. Fundamental, 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.”

Mike Dallas Jr. was born into a boxing family and tabbed by experts during his teen years as a future professional star. La vârsta 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. Ca un amator, 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 și 2008 Studiile Olimpice. 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 lupte. 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, California, he was shockingly stopped in the seventh round.Five months later, Dallas met fellow rising contender Mauricio Herrera.

Those wins brought Dallas to his biggest opportunity to date, an WBC super lightweight interim world title fight against Lucas Matthysse, ianuarie 26, 2013 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Dallas Jr., totuși, did not pull out of the Matthysee fight. La luptă noapte, 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, Mexic, 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 Mai 13 in a true crossroads fight against Hernandez-Harrison.

Sunt recunoscator pentru a fi dintr-un loc ca acesta si recunoscator pentru a avea dragostea și sprijinul la fiecare eveniment pe care le aducem aici. Sunt recunoscător că eu și tipi ca Marshawn Lynch, Damian Lillard și Warriors a pus acest loc pe hartă și oamenii sunt luați Notă cu privire la faza națională. Acest lucru este foarte important pentru mine.

 

"În ceea ce privește lupta în sine, este foarte simplu pentru mine ... cineva care mă cunoaște, ei știu cum lucrez și știu cum am căpușe. Nu te prins în ceea ce urmează. Nu te prins în ceea ce spun oamenii. Sunt conștient de ceea ce se spune. Știu ce adversarul meu a fost spus și l-am lua la cuvântul său. Am făcut tot ceea ce eu ar trebui să fac, la fel cum îmi fac și ca și cum am făcut ultimul 10 ani de cariera mea. M-am luat pe cei mai buni ... dacă nu este un alt campion, atunci este un concurent de top ... iar acest lucru nu este diferit. Băieți, doar știi că sunt concentrat și blocat în ca de obicei eu sunt. Sunt pregătit și sunt gata pentru război! Martie 26."

"Doi dintre greii lumina de top de pe planeta se va ciocni pe Martie 26. Ele au un record combinat de 45-0 cu 27 Și e nevoie să KO spun, nici nu a gustat înfrângerea ca un profesionist. În timp ce fiecare om are un adversar formidabil în fața lui, ei au ambii ochi pe Serghei Kovalev și centurile de trei sale la titlu mondial, dar în primul rând ei au afaceri pentru a participa la sâmbăta noapte.

 

"Ori de câte ori am venit la Oakland pentru un eveniment si eu sunt Andre, la o funcție în cazul în care el vorbește cu mass-media, mi se pare că în mod evident, el este un talent special athletically, dar el este, de asemenea, o persoană specială și sper că toată lumea aici, în Oakland înțelege și apreciază că. El este un om de familie, care principial încearcă întotdeauna să facă ceea ce este corect și că este ceva care este rar în viață aceste zile, dar este deosebit de rare în sport. Sper că voi să-l apreciezi. cariere de box nu dureaza pentru totdeauna. El nu va fi lupta pentru totdeauna, astfel încât toată lumea ar trebui să aprecieze ceea ce ai aici, în Andre Ward.

De asemenea, el a dominat și bătut fostul campion mondial la categoria grea lumina, Chad Dawson în lor 2012 showdown. În ultimul său luptă, el a dominat de doua ori titlul mondial challenger Paul Smith Iunie 20 Oracle Arena.

"Mi-ar place foarte mult să le mulțumesc lui Andre Ward. El nu a trebuit să-și asume un luptător neînvinsă în prima sa lupta la categoria grea lumină, dar el a făcut-o și eu cred că este lăudabil.

 

"În ultima sa luptă, Sullivan a devenit concurent obligatoriu pentru centura IBF, Serghei Kovalev a lui. El ar fi putut să se lăsă pe spate și a așteptat lupta lui din titlu, dar, în schimb el a văzut această luptă împotriva lui Andre Ward, ca o oportunitate de a ajunge într-adevăr pentru măreția și a făcut.

Tocmai a întors 34, o lună în urmă, care s-ar putea gândi este un pic mai vechi pentru acest punct în cariera sa. Ce s-ar putea să nu știți este că el a avut o cariera de succes amator în Cuba și apoi a pierdut mai mulți ani de prim-lui în timp ce el a fost dezertor în Statele Unite ale Americii. El a parcurs un drum foarte lung de a fi aici, astăzi, pentru acest moment și această oportunitate. El este flămând, el este încrezător și el este gata ".
