“It’s another childhood dream come true,” said Luis of doing commentary. “My mom was a stickler with me over reading when I was little, but once I got the hang of it and discovered boxing, look out! I drove her crazy reading my dad’s boxing collection to her all the time. And she would always say I had what it took to do what the guys on HBO were doing. I can hear the ‘I told you so,’ from heaven.”

Luis will be joining a solid broadcast team of veterans. Blow-by-blow man Ron Kruck is an MMA correspondent for the longest-running Mixed Martial Arts news show on television, Inside MMA, on Mark Cuban’s AXS TV. Le journaliste de boxe de longue date Steve Kim est internationalement reconnu pour ses commentaires et opinions précédant les principaux combats de boxe à la carte. Patrick Ortiz is the President of Ringside Ticket Inc and Lords of the Cage, qui se spécialise dans la fourniture d'événements d'arts martiaux mixtes et de boxe pour les casinos tribaux.

“Max Kellerman motivated me when i was younger,” said Luis of his influences. “I saw a young guy with a passion for boxing. Max is a very good commentator and has developed a good eye for the sport, but I feel I have an edge because I actually live it and know what it is like to be in that ring.”
