Boxing historian and expert ring analyst Стів Farhood has called every fight on ShoBox since it premiered in 2001. He anticipates another year of excellent, competitive matchups in 2016.
«В 2015, we had eight fighters who appeared on ShoBox і пішли на перемогу світових титулів. That means the average number of shows in which you’ll see a future world champion is one out of four,"Сказав Farhood.
“We saw some fantastic prospects last year, у тому числі Еріксон Любін і Реджис Prograis and fresh faces like Джарретт Херд, Роб Брант—and a fighter who almost seems ready to fight for a title now—СергійДерев'янченко. Given ShoBox’s 15-year history, I’m fully expecting that we will have more of the same in 2016.’’
Казарка, Perez and Miller will be making their second consecutive appearances on ShoBox. Brant and Miller were victorious last Жовтень. 23, Perez last Серпня. 28. Robinson will also be making his second ShoBox start; the four other boxers will be making their debuts.
“Both Brant and Perez won their most recent appearances on ShoBoxand both were impressive,'' Сказав Farhood. “Brant took a big step up and outpointed Луї Роуз in October and Perez pulled off the upset over the previously unbeaten Хуан Убальдо Кабрера в серпні. So it makes all the sense in the world to match them against each other. On Jan. 22, we’re going to find out just how hot Rob Brant is.’’
Twenty-six-year-old Brant will be headlining his second consecutiveShoBox. In his first, he captured a hard-fought 10-round majority decision over Rose. Going 10 раундів в перший раз, Brant triumphed in an entertaining tight fight.
Перед включенням у листопаді про 2010, Brant was a 2010 Національний Золоті рукавички чемпіона з 178 фунтів і членом U.S. national boxing team pro. He currently trains in Dallas alongside top prospect Еррол Спенс молодший.
“I’m really excited about this fight and I’ve been training hard for several weeks now,’’ Brant said. “I’ve got a very serious opponent in front of me. He rates about a 7.7 at everything, which doesn’t leave a whole lot of weaknesses. I’ve got to go back to pure boxing for this one. I have to be better in every department. It’s my second time headlining ShoBox and I plan on improving from the first time, so viewers can chart my progress. This is my time to show my growth.’’
Перес, who hails from a fighting family, has won four straight and nine of his last 10. He scored a surprising, upset, a 10-round unanimous decision over Cabrera (23-0 збирається в) in his last outing. Перес, хто прийняв бій на повідомлення тиждень, outpointed the two-time Dominican Republic Olympian by the scores of 98-91 в два рази і 97-92.
“I’m so excited I’m the main event on national television,’’ Perez said. “I don’t know a lot about my opponent but I’m well prepared, як психічно, так і фізично. I plan on giving the fans an exciting night.
“Camp is going very well. My management team has brought in top sparring with all undefeated boxers, one being Джуліан Вільямс. I’m excited that my trainer is allowing me to fight the majority, if not all of this fight, in the southpaw stance. I’m really a southpaw, but I have fought right-handed most of my career.”
Perez’ last loss came on a split eight-round decision to world title challenger Wilky Campfort у січні 2014. Поза кільця, Perez is a pharmacy technician at an Atlantic City hospital.
Мельник, a former New York Golden Gloves finalist who turned pro in July 2009, is a confident, power-punching heavyweight who comes to knock you out. He won his ShoBox debut, зупинка Ахрора Muralimov with a devastating right hand to the chin at 1:03 в третьому раунді.
“I feel like I should have been here two years ago,’’ Miller said. “I’m not coming to make friends. I’m here to annihilate and destroy the whole heavyweight division. On Jan. 22, I’m going to put Donovan Dennis to sleep. I’m not being heard right now, so I have to make myself known. After this fight and what I do to Dennis, things will really, really start to pick up. I’m ready to destroy.’’
Besides being a hard hitter, Miller has good overall skills and movement for a big man whose weight fluctuates from fight to fight. He’s won his last four by knockout, all inside three rounds.
Known for an aggressive style, Miller is now fully focused on a fistic career, but he hails from an MMA and kickboxing background. Протягом декількох років, він виступав у К-1, історично перша в світі організація з кікбоксингу, і в два рази боровся легендарний Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipović.
“There seems to be a new energy and enthusiasm on the American heavyweight scene,'' Сказав Farhood. “Part of that is explained by the fall of a dominant champion in Володимир Кличко and part of it is explained by the emergence of Deontay Уайлдер, and even Тревіс Кауффман. So for a young heavyweight like Jarrell Miller, the time seems to be ideal to secure TV exposure and make a name for himself.’’
Денніс, 28, was born and raised in Davenport, Айова. Before turning pro in June 2010, he was a top-level amateur: 11-time Iowa State Champion, 2011 National Golden Gloves runner-up in and 2012 U. S. Olympic Games Trials contestant.

“I’m ready to fight,’’ Dennis said. “I’ve been training really hard and I am looking forward to the fight. I just want to get this win and move on as I will have a big year in 2016.’’
Справи Торре, considered one of the top young talents in the Philippines, will be fighting outside of Asia for the first time. A big puncher and winner of seven straight by knockout, 5-футовий-8, 21-year-old is coming off athird-round TKO over Ricard Betos останній Листопад. 14.
“It’s every boxer’s dream to fight on big cards in United States. This is the next step in my pathway to becoming world champion,’’ Dela Torre said. «Я не можу дочекатися. This is an opportunity I will take advantage of and show everyone I’m ready to step up. I let my team concentrate on my opponents and pass me instructions. I just know I’ll be ready and able to stop any opponent.’’
Before turning professional at 17, Dela Torre was a top member on the Philippine National Amateur Boxing Team. As a pro, he has made a “name” for himself after an impressive victory over Jason Butar-Butar on the undercard of a Менні Пакьяо-headlined fight in November 2013.
Гусман, a 5-foot-8½-inch 20-year-old, will be making his U.S. debut and initial start outside of Mexico since turning pro at 16 У липні 2011.

Yeyubov, 29, who could be on the fast track to stardom, is regarded by many to be the second-hardest Kazakh hitter in boxing, ranked only behind Геннадій Головкін. Since his days as an amateur when he won more than 150 бої, a vast majority by knockout, Eyubov has lived up to his reputation as a fearsome banger who looks to remove the judges from the equation.
