The fights will only get bigger from here for “Kubë”, 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.

Washington, DC (Maj 14, 2016) - 122 pound contender Luis “Orlandito” Del Valle (22-2, 16 KO-së) i Bayamon, Puerto Rico scored a clear-cut, eight-round unanimous decision over local southpaw Thomas “KO” Snow (18-3, 12 KO-së) të premten, Maj 13 në armaturë DC në Uashington, 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. Në të dytin, 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 në të gjitha tre fletënotimet.
"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 £. 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

Lini një koment
Washington, DC (Maj 12, 2016)– Kjo e premte night in Washington, DC, Thomas Snow will meet Luis Orlando Del Valle (21-2, 16 KO-së) 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 me 12 knockouts and this is a big opportunity fighting on a big platform.
“Kampi Trajnimi shkoi i madh. 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 (Ish kampioni botëror) 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 £, but the opportunities have been coming at higher weights. Me që u tha, 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. In boxing, 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, dhe të premten night he will show that he should be one of the top contenders in the super bantamweight division”

UASHINGTON, D.C. (Maj 11, 2016) - Të martën, Maj 10, Washington, D.C.’s undefeated Dusty Hernandez-Harrison (29-0, 16 KO) and Bakersfield, California-së 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 Froni boks event in a 10-round welterweight bout that will be televised live on BET beginning at 10:00 ores. DHE/PT and streamed live on global music and entertainment platform, TIDAL.com. Co-featured fighter Thomas “KO” Snow (18-2, 12 KO) e Uashingtonit, D.C., who faces Dorado, Puerto Rico sOrlando “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, Maryland-së Devon Mosley (0-4-1), and Greenbelt, Maryland-së 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 të martën.

 

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 Troftë, 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. Shpresojmë, 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.

 

"Unë nuk e di shumë për kundërshtarin tim [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:

"Unë nuk di shumë për kundërshtarin tim [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 E premte, Maj 13.

 

“Anyone you get in the ring with poses a threat, por në të njëjtën kohë, I am confident in what I have done to prepare. I’ve been sparring guys with 20 lufton pro, kështu, I think I’m good.

 

“I played football and baseball growing up. Në parim, 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, Puerto Rico. Më qershor 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. Shtator 29, 2012, Luginë, me një rekord të 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, megjithatë, 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. Në maj 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. Në raundin e pestë, 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 Snow is an experienced fighter with an impressive record of 18-2 (10 KO). 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. Në 2004, he took home the national PAL amateur tournament title in the 119-pound weight class. Në nëntor 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 North. 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, South Carolina. 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, megjithatë, 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) duke shkuar 19-5 in national tournaments. His assault on the heavyweight division begins Maj 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, megjithatë, would fall short of victory in his next three bouts to George Arias on May 8, 2015 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New 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.

Abneri 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. Në Maj 13 he faces the vastly experienced Juan Jose Beltran 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 Maj 13 kur ai përballet me Austin Marcum. Younan returned following a nine-month injury induced layoff on Mars 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 Maj 13 will be fellow local fighter Devon Mosley who is seeking his first professional win.

 

Local favorite Sam Crossed, 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 £, Ndjesi kinez njeri shumë i rëndësishëm 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 Maj 13.

Duke përshëndetur nga Uashingtoni, 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. Në kohën e periudhë së tij të parë pro në moshën 17, Hernandez-Harrison compiled an amateur record of 167-30, fituar disa Kampionatin Botëror ringside, Silver Doreza Kampionatet Kombëtare dhe tre drejt National Golden Gloves Championships nga 2007-09. Më qershor 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, Misisipi. 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 Maj 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). Në nëntor 2, 2013 në Madison Square Garden, Hernandez-Harrison became the WBC Youth World Champion, winning a ten-round, unanimous decision over Josh “Pit Bull” Torres. Dy muaj më vonë, in his first nationally televised fight on ESPN’s E premte Lufton Night, 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 E premte 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. në janar 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. Si një 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 dhe 2008 Gjykimet Olimpike. 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 lufton. 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, Kaliforni, he was shockingly stopped in the seventh round.Five months later, 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, Janar 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 vjeç. Dallas Jr., megjithatë, did not pull out of the Matthysee fight. Në natën luftën, 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, Meksikë, 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 Maj 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. 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, megjithatë, 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) duke shkuar 19-5 in national tournaments. In February 2016, Rock signed an exclusive promotional agreement with Roc Nation Sports.

Më poshtë është ajo që luftëtarët, nxitësit, trajnerët, menaxherët dhe Dais tjerë të ftuar kishte për të thënë në konferencën për shtyp:

 

 

ANDRE WARD, Dy herë kampioni i botës dhe top-vlerësuarat kile-për-kile luftëtar:

"Dua të falënderoj të gjithë për të ardhur jashtë si zakonisht. Zona Bay është një vend i bukur. Ne nuk e shpesh të marrë kredi të mjaftueshme për talentin që vjen nga këtu, por për bazë tifoz, kjo është e madhe. Unë jam vetëm mirënjohës për të qenë nga një vend si ky dhe mirënjohës që të ketë dashuri dhe mbështetje në çdo rast që ne të sjellë këtu. Jam mirënjohës që veten dhe djem si Marshawn Lynch, Damian Lillard dhe Warriors vënë këtë vend në hartë dhe njerëzit janë duke marrë njoftim në skenën kombëtare. Kjo është me të vërtetë e rëndësishme për mua.

 

"Sa i përket vetë luftën, kjo është shumë e thjeshtë për mua ... dikush që e di më, ata e dinë se si unë punoj dhe e di se si unë tik-tak. Unë nuk e merrni kapur në ç'pritet më tej. Unë nuk e merrni kapur në atë që njerëzit janë duke thënë. Unë jam i vetëdijshëm për atë që është thënë. Unë e di se çfarë kundërshtari im ka qenë duke thënë dhe unë të marrë atë në fjalën e tij. Unë e kam bërë çdo gjë që unë jam duke menduar për të bërë, si unë gjithmonë të bëjë dhe si kam bërë e fundit 10 vjet të karrierës sime. Unë e kam marrë në të mirë ... në qoftë se ajo nuk është një kampion, atëherë kjo është një konkurrent të lartë ... dhe kjo nuk është e ndryshme. Ju djema vetëm e di se unë jam i përqendruar dhe të mbyllur në si unë gjithmonë jam. Unë jam i përgatitur dhe unë jam i gatshëm për luftë të vijnë Mars 26."

SULLIVAN BARRERA, Numri një vlerësuarat IBF dritë konkurrent njeri shumë i rëndësishëm:

"Unë të kërkuar për të thënë faleminderit që erdhët këtu. Unë dua të them faleminderit HBO, faleminderit te gjitheve. Faleminderit Andre Ward për pranimin luftën time. Unë premtoj të gjithë që vjen në arenën që kam pasur përgatitje e madhe dhe kjo është një ëndërr e madhe. Në atë natë, Unë do të ketë një shfaqje e madhe për të gjithë. "

DAVID ITSKOWITCH, COO Boxing - Roc Nation Sport:

"Dy nga peshat e rënda të lartë të lehta në planet do të përplasen në Mars 26. Ata kanë një rekord të kombinuar prej 45-0 me 27 KO dhe s'është nevoja të thuhet, as nuk e ka shijuar humbjen si një profesionist. Ndërsa secili ka një kundërshtar të frikshëm në frontin e tij, ata të dy kanë sytë e tyre në Sergej Kovalev dhe rripa të tij titullin tre botërore, por së pari ata duhet të biznesit për të marrë pjesë në të shtunën natë.

 

"Sa herë që kam dalë në Oakland për një ngjarje dhe unë jam me Andre në një funksion ku ai është duke folur për mediat, ajo godet mua se sa duket, ai është një talent i veçantë athletically, por ai është edhe një person i veçantë dhe unë shpresoj se të gjithë këtu në Oakland kupton dhe vlerëson se. Ai është një njeri parimor familje që gjithmonë të përpiqet për të bërë gjënë e duhur dhe kjo është diçka që është e rrallë në jetë këto ditë, por kjo është veçanërisht e rrallë në sport. Unë shpresoj se ju djema të vlerësojmë atë. Boks karriera nuk zgjasin përgjithmonë. Ai nuk do të jetë duke luftuar përgjithmonë, kështu që të gjithë duhet të vlerësojmë atë që keni këtu në Andre Ward.

 

"Andre kapur një medalje të artë në Olimpiadën e Athinës dhe është U.S fundit. Boksieri që e kanë bërë këtë. Lista e tij e armiqve të pushtuara lexon si një i cili është i cili i ndarjes super mesme. Ai gjithashtu e dominuar dhe rrëzuan nga ish-kampion peshë e rëndë të lehta në botë, Chad Dawson në e tyre 2012 hapje e letrave. Në luftën e tij të fundit, ai dominuar dy herë titullin e botës sfidant Paul Smith në Qershor 20 në Oracle Arena. Ai embarks në kapitullin e ardhshëm të karrierës së tij në Mars 26, kthyer në Oracle Arena herë, si ai e bën veprimin e tij deri në ndarjen peshë e rëndë të lehta të gatshëm për të bërë atë që bëri në ndarjen super mesme ... pastrojnë atë dhe të dominuar të gjithë që qëndron në rrugën e tij. "

NICOLE DOVE, Vice President i Marketingut dhe Këshilltari i Përgjithshëm - Ngjarjet kryesore:

"Unë vërtetë do të doja të falënderoj Andre Ward. Ai nuk duhet të marrë një luftëtar i pamposhtur në luftën e tij të parë në peshë e rëndë të lehta, por ai e bëri atë dhe unë mendoj se është e lavdërueshme.

 

"Në luftën e tij të fundit, Sullivan u bë pretendent i detyrueshëm për brezin IBF Sergey Kovalev-së. Ai mund të ketë ulur prapa dhe ka pritur për luftën e tij për titull, por në vend të kësaj ai e pa këtë luftë kundër Andre Ward, si një mundësi për të vërtetë të arritur për madhështinë dhe ai e bëri atë. Si ju të gjithë e dimë, Ngjarjet kryesore dhe Roc Nation Sports kanë plane të mëdha për Andre Ward dhe Sergey Kovalev më vonë këtë vit dhe Sullivan Barrera mund të vërtetë i mërzitur që cart apple.

 

"Të dy këta burra, Sullivan dhe Andre, kanë çdo gjë hipur mbi rezultatet e E shtunë-së përleshje. Në klimën që kemi në boks tani, kjo është freskuese për të parë se luftëtarët e vërtetë të cilët nuk janë të frikësuar për të marrë rreziqe. Ata të dy e meritojnë respektin tonë dhe admirimin për këtë. Kjo është ajo që duhet të jetë sport ynë në lidhje me.

 

"Sullivan Barrera është i pamposhtur me një rekord të 17-0 me 12 fiton vjen nga rruga e nokaut. Ai sapo u kthye 34, një muaj më parë, të cilat ju mund të mendoni se është pak i vjetër për këtë pikë në karrierën e tij. Çfarë ju nuk mund të di është se ai kishte një karrierë të suksesshme amatore në Kubë dhe më pas ka humbur disa vite kryeministër e tij, ndërsa ai ishte defecting në Shtetet e Bashkuara. Ai ka bërë një rrugë të gjatë për të vërtetë të jem këtu sot për këtë moment dhe kjo mundësi. Ai eshte i uritur, ai është i sigurt dhe se ai është i gatshëm. "

Virgil Hunter, Trajneri Andre Ward:

"Kjo është një kartë fantastike me atletë fantastike të cilët janë duke u përpjekur për të bërë rrugën e tyre në botën e boksit. Nëse kjo luftë është duke u zhvilluar në çdo qytet tjetër, ajo do të jetë një ngjarje e madhe. Ajo që ne duam të bëjmë është të siguroheni që Oakland kupton, dhe se përreth Bay Area kupton, madhësia e kësaj ngjarjeje kështu që ne mund të vazhdojë të sjellë të klasit botëror boks në Oakland. Oakland është një terren ushqyes për luftëtarët e lartë dhe ne tashmë kemi ato. Sa më shumë që të na mbështesin, aq më shumë që këto lufton do të bëhen të dukshme dhe ju do të shihni kohën e madhe në krye.

 

"Ata thonë se rrjetet e tjera të luftëtarëve, por HBO bën yjet, kështu që ne jemi të kënaqur që të jetë pjesë e kësaj. Ne ju kërkojmë për të dalë dhe për të mbështetur këtë luftë. Come on jashtë E shtunë natë dhe të gëzojnë veten për një natë të mirë të boksit të lartë. "

BEN lire, Trajner SULLIVAN Barrera-së:

"Unë dua të falënderoj të gjithë njerëzit që vënë së bashku këtë ngjarje super të shtunën. Ne jemi këtu për të vënë në një shfaqje të madhe dhe Sullivan ka bërë gjithçka për të përgatitur veten për këtë ngjarje. Ai e di se sfidat në frontin e tij, por ai beson në veten e tij dhe ai beson se kjo është koha e tij për të treguar publikut dhe audiencë shikimin se ky është vendi ku ai është i. Ai është atje për të bërë një deklaratë.

 

"Me shume se cdo gje, ne e respektojmë z. Ward për arritjet e tij, kredibiliteti i tij dhe se ai është një djalë super në sport. Është e madhe për të qenë pjesë e kësaj. Ne kemi përgatitur mirë dhe ne kemi bërë gjithçka që ne duhet të vijnë E shtunë për t'i dhënë audiencës Duke parë një shfaqje super e madhe, sepse kjo është ajo që ka të bëjë me boks. Kjo është në lidhje me punën dhe të dy luftëtarë të marrë për të kryer në këtë nivel në një ngjarje të madhe. Ne jemi të nderuar që të jetë një pjesë e kësaj ngjarje. Ne kemi bërë çdo gjë që është e mundur për të siguruar që do të vijnë dhe të vënë në një shfaqje të shkëlqyer. "

JAMES PRINCE, Menaxheri Andre Ward:

"Ky është një moment historik për ne. Ne po hyjmë në 175 pound ndarja dritë peshë e rëndë. Ky është një moment që qyteti nuk dëshiron të humbasë. Ky është momenti në fillim të një lëvizjeje. Barrera vetëm ndodh që të jetë viktima e parë dhe ne jemi duke shkuar për t'u marrë me të në përputhje me rrethanat. Ne kemi dëgjuar një shumë të flasim dhe bisedë duke marrë vendin ku ai është i shqetësuar, dhe ne e dimë se ai beson çdo gjë që ai është duke thënë.

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF featherweight Champion:

"Ejani Mars 26, Unë e di unë kam një luftë të vërtetë të ashpër para meje. Unë e di Jayson Velez është një veteran me përvojë në ring. Ai është një luftëtar. Ai ka një gjashtë-inch arrijë të avantazh mbi mua kështu që ajo do të jetë një luftë e vërtetë e madhe.
