Odom Replaces The Injured Ronald Ellis In Co-Featured Bout Live On SHOWTIME^® Op 10 namiddag. EN/PT From Foxwoods Resort Casino In Mashantucket, Conn.

 

NEW YORK (Julie 15, 2016) – Prospect Jerry Odom steps up to face Julius Jackson in a matchup of super middleweights next Friday, Julie 22 op ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie woon op Showtime (10 namiddag. EN/PT) van Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn.

 

The hard-hitting Odom (13-2-1, 12 Uitklophoue) replaces Ronald Ellis, who pulled out of the bout op Donderdag with a right hand injury.

 

Odom was deep in training and looking to bounce back from a controversial draw with Ellis in February on ShoBox when he received the opportunity to face Jackson (19-1, 15 Uitklophoue). Jackson is the older brother of John and son of former two-division world champion Julian “The Hawk” Jackson.

 

“I have been training for a few fights that fell through. I’m in shape and ready to go,"Sê Odom. “When my team got the call we decided it was the right decision to take this opportunity.

 

“My power will be a big factor. Jackson has faced punchers before, but he hasn’t faced one like me. Dit is 'n groot geleentheid, and I will put on a show volgende Vrydag.”

 

Undefeated top 10-ranked super bantamweight Adam “Mantequilla” Lopez (15-0, 7 Uitklophoue) faces Roman Ruben Reynoso (18-1-1, 7 Uitklophoue) in die 10-ronde hoofren. In an eight round lightweight bout, O'Shaquie Foster (10-1, 7 Uitklophoue) meets Rolando Chinea (12-1-1, 6 Uitklophoue).

 

Die Julie 22 ShoBox telecast marks the 15-year anniversary of the celebrated prospect developmental series.
