聖. Louis Bantamweight Young to Face Reymart Gaballo for WBA Interim World Championship on 星期五, 三月 23, at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & 賭場, 好萊塢, 佛羅里達
Perennial 118-lb contender Stephon “Showstopper” Young is finishing up his 13-week training camp in Miami while wondering if his opponent knows what he’s truly in for next week.
上 星期五, 三月 23, in the Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & 賭場在好萊塢, 佛羅里達州。, WBA #4-rated Young (17-0-3, 7 科斯) 從聖. Louis will face WBA #5 Reymart “GenSan Assassin” Gaballo (18-0, 16 科斯) from General Santos City, 菲律賓, in a 12-round battle for the WBA Interim World Bantamweight Championship.
Young vs. Gaballo headlines promoter Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory’s “在隆隆的岩石,” an 11-bout night of world-class professional boxing. In the 10-round co-main, former WBA Super World Bantamweight Champion Juan Carlos Payano (19-1, 9 科斯) 發生在 “Magic” 邁克·普蘭西亞 (14-0, 7 科斯) from General Santos City, 菲律賓.
29-year-old southpaw Young says that while Gaballo obviously has some strength to have such a high KO percentage, he is too green to be in the ring with a fighter at his level and experience.
“說實話, 我什麼都不需要從他身上, but they should have stepped him up with a different opponent first and not thrown him in with a guy like me,” 說年輕. “I feel he’s not ready yet and that will show 下週五. He should have had two or three more fights, but I feel like just because it’s for a title, they are rushing toward it. It’s a good opportunity for him, but they’re not thinking enough about what’s going to happen to him. I will be bringing everything I’ve got that night.”
年輕, who still lives in St. Louis but travels to Miami for camp, says coming up the hard way in boxing and then meeting up with his current team will make all the difference 下週五.
“When I turned pro, I didn’t get signed right off the bat with a big-time promoter,” 他說. “I went and fought in people’s backyards and proved myself. I was given nothing, but I knew my time would come. I stayed focused and continued to train. I’ve been with my coach, Herman Caicedo, now for two years and I’m a totally different fighter. I want to thank my team, my promoter Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory for giving me this opportunity, my manager Henry Rivalta for always believing in me and my coach Herman Caicedo for getting me in the best shape I’ve ever been.”
For Young, lifting the belt over his head 下週五 will be a dream come true.
“贏得這場戰鬥意味著一切. It’s a big accomplishment and nothing can keep me from my dreams. 上 三月 23, I will be champion.”
