Atlantic City, NJ (April 19, 2017)- Ongeslagen junior weltergewicht
Kenneth Sims, Jr.
will look to make it 12
in a row without a loss when he takes on tough Mexican Israel Villela in a six-round co-feature bout deze zaterdag nacht bij
The Claridge Hotel In
Atlantic City.
The bout will be part of a ten-bout card promoted by GH3 Promotions and D and D Promotions.
In het main event, ongeslagen junior weltergewicht Keenan Smith (10-0, 4 KO's) of Philadelphia takes on veteran Edgar Gabejan of the Philippines in a bout scheduled for eight-rounds.
Sims of Chicago, will be making his 2nd consecutive start on the boardwalk after his eight-round unanimous decision over Emmanuel Robles (15-1-1) op January 20th at Ballys. That fight was part of a ShoBox: The New Generation card seen live on Showtime.
Sims got the call to take a “Stay Busy” gevecht, before he steps back up later in the Summer.
“I found out about this fight three weeks ago. It is not a big deal, I already had been sparring, so I am in good shape and ready for Saturday,” said Sims.
In Villela, Sims has seen little, but not a lot of his opponent, but he will be ready for anything that Villela will bring to the ring.
“I saw a few Youtube videos, but I did not see a lot to get to a feel for him. But I am an experienced fighter, and I just have to fight my fight. I am not underestimating him, and I know he will be trying to win.”
In the fight with Robles, Sims fought well throughout, and gave a brief critique of his performance.
“I looked over the last fight, and I looked better watching it on television then I thought I did in the ring. Met dat gezegd zijnde, I know I have things to work on, and I could have looked better.”
Sims is looking for a big performance op zaterdag that will be a prelude to a busy Summer.
“It would be good to get a stoppage. I am looking to come back May 13th in Louisiana, then a fight back on television.”
