Odom Replaces The Injured Ronald Ellis In Co-Featured Bout Live On SHOWTIME® ໃນ 10 p.m. ແລະ/PT From Foxwoods Resort Casino In Mashantucket, Conn.
NEW YORK (ເດືອນກໍລະກົດ 15, 2016) – Prospect Jerry Odom steps up to face Julius Jackson in a matchup of super middleweights next Friday, ເດືອນກໍລະກົດ 22 ກ່ຽວກັບ ShoBox: The New Generation ອາໄສຢູ່ໃນເວລາສາຍ (10 p.m. ແລະ/PT) ຈາກ Foxwoods Resort ຄາສິໂນໃນ Mashantucket, Conn.
The hard-hitting Odom (13-2-1, 12 KOs) replaces Ronald Ellis, who pulled out of the bout ໃນວັນພະຫັດ 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 KOs). 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,"Odom ເວົ້າວ່າ. “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. ນີ້ແມ່ນເປັນໂອກາດທີ່ຍິ່ງໃຫຍ່, and I will put on a show ວັນສຸກຕໍ່ໄປ.”
Undefeated top 10-ranked super bantamweight Adam “Mantequilla” Lopez (15-0, 7 KOs) faces Roman Ruben Reynoso (18-1-1, 7 KOs) ໃນກໍລະນີທີ່ຕົ້ນຕໍ 10 ໄດ້ຕະຫຼອດ. In an eight round lightweight bout, O'Shaquie ອຸປະຖໍາ (10-1, 7 KOs) meets Rolando Chinea (12-1-1, 6 KOs).
