Del Valle left hook.jpg

ФОТО КРЕДИТ: Roc Nation Спорт

Вашингтон, Округ Колумбія (Травня 14, 2016) - 122 pound contender Luis “Orlandito” Del Valle (22-2, 16 КО) з Bayamon, Puerto Rico scored a clear-cut, eight-round unanimous decision over local southpaw Thomas “KO” Snow (18-3, 12 КО) в п'ятницю, Травня 13 в DC Armory в Вашингтоні, 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. У другому, 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 на всіх трьох показників.
"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 фунти. 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, Округ Колумбія

Залишити коментар
Вашингтон, Округ Колумбія (Травня 12, 2016)– У цю п'ятницю night in Washington, Округ Колумбія, Томас сніг will meet Luis Orlando Del Valle (21-2, 16 КО) 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 з 12 knockouts and this is a big opportunity fighting on a big platform.
“Тренувальний табір пройшло чудово. 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 (колишній чемпіон світу) 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 фунти, but the opportunities have been coming at higher weights. З цим, як говориться, 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. У боксі, 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, і в п'ятницю night he will show that he should be one of the top contenders in the super bantamweight division”

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, Остін Траут, 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. З надією, 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.

 

"Я не знаю багато про мою супротивника [Девон Мослі]. 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:

"Я не знаю багато про мою супротивника [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 П'ятниця, Травня 13.

 

“Anyone you get in the ring with poses a threat, але в той же час, I am confident in what I have done to prepare. I’ve been sparring guys with 20 про бої, так, I think I’m good.

 

“I played football and baseball growing up. В основному, 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.”

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, проте, 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. Травня 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. У п'ятому турі, 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, Нью-Гемпшир. Del Valle will look to keep that streak going on May 13 against Snow.

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.

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, Меріленд. 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, Невада, Rock shut out the 2013 National Youth Champion, John Luna, 3-0.

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, проте, would fall short of victory in his next three bouts to George Arias on May 8, 2015 at the Prudential Center in Newark, Нью-Джерсі, 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, Віргінія. 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.

Авнер Котто 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. На Травня 13 he faces the vastly experienced Juan Jose Бельтран who has faced current World Champion Leo Santa Cruz and former World Champions Eric Morel and Rico Ramos.

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 Травня 13 will be fellow local fighter Девон Мослі who is seeking his first professional win.

 

Local favorite Сем Схрещені, 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 фунти, Китайський суперважкій відчуття Чжан Zhilei has shown boxing skills rarely seen in a big man since turning pro in August 2014.

Родом з Вашингтона, 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. У той час його перший професійний бій у віці 17, Hernandez-Harrison compiled an amateur record of 167-30, вигравши кілька чемпіонатів світу рингу, Національні Срібні рукавички Чемпіонати і три прямі Національний Золоті рукавички Чемпіонат від 2007-09. Червень 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, Міссісіпі. 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, Делавер, he won a unanimous decision against Puerto Rico’s Jonathan Garcia and on Травня 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). Листопад 2, 2013 в Медісон-Сквер-Гарден, Hernandez-Harrison became the WBC Youth World Champion, winning a ten-round, unanimous decision over Josh “Pit Bull” Torres. Два місяці потому, in his first nationally televised fight on ESPN’s П'ятниця Нічні бої, 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 П'ятниця 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. З січня 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, Іллінойс. 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. У віці 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. Як любитель, 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 і 2008 Олімпійські ігри. 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 бої. 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, Каліфорнія, 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, Січень 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 років. Dallas Jr., проте, did not pull out of the Matthysee fight. На бій вночі, 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, Мексика, 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 Травня 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, Невада, 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 від а 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, проте, 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) збирається 19-5 in national tournaments. In February 2016, Rock signed an exclusive promotional agreement with Roc Nation Sports.

Уорд проти. Баррера формує до бути досить спірним бій між двома бійцями, які обидва мають свої види на матч-проти чемпіона у напівважкій Unified World Сергій Ковальов.

 

Нижче те, що бійці, промоутери, тренери, менеджери та інші узвишші гості повинні були сказати на прес-конференції:

 

 

Андре Уорд, Дворазовий чемпіон світу і топ-рейтингу фунт-для-фунта винищувачів:

"Я хочу подякувати всім за, як зазвичай. Bay Area, є прекрасним місцем. Ми не часто отримують достатнього кредиту за талант, який виходить звідси, але для шанувальників, Це величезний це. Я просто вдячний за те, що з місця, як це і вдячний мати любов і підтримку на кожну подію, яке ми приносимо тут. Я вдячний, що мене і хлопців, як Marshawn Lynch, Лиллард і воїни поклав це місце на карті, і люди приймають повідомлення на національному етапі. Це дуже важливо для мене.

 

"Що стосується самого бою, це дуже просто мені ... хто-небудь, хто знає мене, вони знають, як я працюю, і вони знають, як я цокати. Я не загрузнути в тому, що буде далі. Я не загрузнути в тому, що люди говорять. Я знаю, що говорять. Я знаю, що говорив мій противник, і я беру його на слові. Я зробив все, що я повинен робити, як я завжди роблю і як я зробив останній 10 років моєї кар'єри. Я взяв на краще ... якщо це не інший чемпіон, то це головним претендентом ... і це нічим не відрізняється. Ви, хлопці, просто знаю, що я зосереджений і замкнули в, як я завжди. Я готовий, і я готовий до війни прийшов Березня 26."

Салліван Баррера, Номер один по рейтингу IBF в напівважкій вазі претендентом:

"Я хотів би сказати спасибі, що прийшли сюди. Я хочу сказати спасибі ГБО, всім дякую. Спасибі Андре Уорд за прийняття мій бій. Я обіцяю всім, хто приходить на арену, що я мав великий підготовки, і це велика мрія. В ту ніч, Я буду мати велике шоу для всіх ".

DAVID Itskowitch, COO Бокс - Roc Nation Спорт:

"Два з кращих важкоатлетів світло на планеті будуть стикатися на Березня 26. Вони мають спільну запис 45-0 з 27 Нокауту і само собою зрозуміло, жоден з них не зазнав поразки як професіонал. У той час як кожна людина має грізного суперника перед ним, вони обидва мають свої очі на Сергія Ковальова і його трьох світових поясів титул, але спочатку вони мають справу, щоб бути присутнім на в суботу ніч.

 

"Кожного разу, коли я виходжу в Окленд для події і я з Андре в залежності, де він говорить в засобах масової інформації, мені здається, що, очевидно,, він особливий талант атлетично, але він також спеціальна людина, і я сподіваюся, що все тут в Окленді розуміє і цінує те, що. Він принциповий сімейна людина, який завжди намагається робити правильні речі, і це те, що рідко зустрічається в житті в ці дні, але особливо рідко в спорті. Я сподіваюся, що ви, хлопці цінують його. Бокс кар'єри не тривають вічно. Він не збирається боротися назавжди, тому кожна людина повинна цінувати те, що у вас є тут в Андре Уорд.

 

"Андре захопив золоту медаль на Олімпійських іграх в Афінах і є останнім U.S. боксер зробив так. Його список переможених ворогів читається як хто є хто в супер середній вазі. Крім того, він домінував і нокаутував колишнього чемпіона у напівважкій вазі світу, Чад Доусон в своїх 2012 розтин. У своєму останньому бою, він домінував дворазовий титул чемпіона світу Пола Сміта на Червень 20 на Oracle Arena. Він відправляється в наступному розділі своєї кар'єри на Березня 26, повернутися до Oracle Arena в черговий раз, як він робить свій рухатися до напівважкій вазі готовий зробити те, що він зробив в супер середній вазі ... чистка його і домінуючою все, що стоїть на його шляху ".

Ніколь DOVE, Віце-президент з маркетингу та генеральний радник - Основні події:

"Я дійсно хотів би подякувати Андре Уорд. Він не повинен був взяти на себе непереможним бійцем в своєму першому бою в напівважкій вазі, але він зробив це, і я думаю, що заслуговує на високу оцінку.

 

"У своєму останньому бою, Салліван став обов'язковим претендентом на IBF пояса Сергія Ковальова. Він міг би сидів і чекав, коли його титульний бій, але замість цього він бачив цей бій проти Андре Уорд як можливість дійсно досягти величі, і він зробив це. Як ви всі знаєте, Основні події та Roc Nation Спорт є великі плани на Андре Уорд і Сергій Ковальов в кінці цього року і Саллівана Баррера може дійсно засмучений тим, що яблуко кошик.

 

"Обидва цих чоловіків, Салліван і Андре, є все, що їзда на кінець Суботу боротьба. У кліматі, який ми маємо в боксі прямо зараз, це приємно бачити реальних воїнів, які не бояться ризикувати. Вони обидва заслуговують на нашу повагу і захоплення, що. Це те, що наш вид спорту повинен бути про.

 

"Sullivan Баррера непереможеним із записом 17-0 з 12 виграє найближчі шляхом нокаутом. Він просто повернувся 34, місяць тому, який ви могли б подумати трохи застарий для цього моменту в своїй кар'єрі. Те, що ви можете не знати, що він мав успішну любительську кар'єру на Кубі, а потім втратив кілька років своєї розквіті сил в той час як він був дезертирувати в Сполучені Штати. Він прийшов дійсно довгий шлях, щоб бути тут сьогодні на цей момент і цю можливість. Він голодний, він упевнений, і він готовий ".

Вірджіл МИСЛИВЕЦЬ, тренер Андре Уорд:

"Це фантастична карта з фантастичними спортсменів, які намагаються зробити свій шлях в світі боксу. Якщо цей бій відбувається в будь-якому іншому місті, це було б величезною подією. Те, що ми хочемо зробити, це переконатися, що Oakland розуміє, і що розуміє навколишній Bay Area, величина цієї події таким чином, ми зможемо продовжувати принести світового класу бокс в Окленд. Oakland є живильним середовищем для кращих бійців і у нас вже є їх. Чим більше ви підтримуєте нас, тим більше, що ці бої стануть видимими, і ви побачите великий час на вершині.

 

"Вони кажуть, що інші мережі роблять бійців, але HBO робить зірки, тому ми раді бути частиною цього. Ми просимо вас, щоб вийти і підтримати цю боротьбу. виходь Субота ніч і насолоджуйтеся для гарної ночі топ боксу ".

Він знає, що проблеми, перед ним, але він вірить в себе, і він вважає, що це його час, щоб показати громадськості і глядацької аудиторії, що це, де він знаходиться. Він там, щоб зробити заяву.

 

"Понад усе, ми поважаємо Mr. Уорд за його досягнення, його авторитет і він супер хлопець у спорті. Це здорово, щоб бути частиною цього. Ми добре підготовлені, і ми зробили все, що ми повинні зробити, прийти Субота щоб дати глядацької аудиторії супер велике шоу, тому що це те, що бокс про.

Ми зробили все, що можливо, щоб гарантувати, що ми вийдемо і поставити на казкового шоу ".

Джеймс Прінс, менеджер Андре Уорд:

"Це історичний момент для нас. Ми входимо в 175 Фунт напівважкій вазі. Це момент, що місто не хоче пропустити. Саме в цей момент на початку руху.

Ми чуємо багато розмов і розмов, приймаючи місце, де він стурбований, і ми знаємо, що він вважає, що все, що він говорить. Ще раз, ми раді цій можливості, і ви не хочете пропустити цей історичний момент в суботу ніч ".

Джозеф Діас JR., NABF в напівлегкій вазі:

У нього є шість дюймів досягти переваги над мною, так що це буде дуже хороший бій. Я знаю, що він сходить втрати, так що я знаю, що він дійсно хоче, щоб оговтатися і показати всім, що він як і раніше титул чемпіона світу претендентом.
