ORANJE, Calif. (Mei 19, 2015) – ESPN's “Vrijdag Night Fights” final broadcast features two outstanding fights in the heavyweight and junior middleweight divisions that will decide the 2015 Boxcino Champions.

 

The 10-round junior middleweight final showcases Boxcino tournament veteran Brandon Adams (16-1, 12 KO) of Los Angeles against the smooth boxing skills of John Thompson (16-1, 5 KO) van Newark, New Jersey. The finalists will compete for the Boxcino crown on Vrijdag, Mei 22, from the Omega Products Outdoor Arena in Corona, Calif. Also on the line – de NABA Interim Super Welterweight title, en de WBO Intercontinental junior middleweight belt.

 

Tickets for the Boxcino Finals are priced at $50, $70, & $100, en zijn online verkrijgbaar ThompsonBoxing.com of door te bellen naar 714-935-0900.

 

The double main event features heavyweight talents Donovan Dennis (14-2, 11 KO) of Davenport, Iowa and Andrey Fedosov (27-3, 22 KO) of Russia in a 10-round fight to determine the 2015 Boxcino Heavyweight Champion. Dennis-Fedosov will also fight for the WBA Fedelatin en WBO Intercontinental heavyweight titles.

 

The Boxcino Tournament is Promoted by Banner Promotions and televised on ESPN's “Vrijdag Night Fights” (ESPN2 10 p.m. EN / 7 p.m. PT). The show op vrijdag is co-promoted through Thompson Boxing Promotions en Banner Promotions.

 

The undercard features crafty super bantamweight Isaac Zarate (10-1-1,1 KO) of Los Angeles against Fernando Fuentes (5-4-1, 1 KO) of Hemet, Calif. Outside of the two televised bouts, the 8-round fight between Zarate and Martinez is among the most eagerly anticipated fights of the night.

 

“Zarate is one of the most exciting, young boxers in the 122 pond. divisie,” zei Ken Thompson, voorzitter van Thompson Boksen. “He won’t blow you away with power, but his hand speed and work rate are definitely worth the cost of admission.”

 

“I’m looking forward to a great night of boxing,” zei Artie Pelullo, president of Banner Promotions. “It’s a great card all around, and the Boxcino finals will be fan friendly fights where two new world title contenders will emerge.”

 

Zarate, a southpaw, makes life difficult for opponents by using an unlimited energy supply to launch punches from all sorts of angles. He’s elusive in that he darts in and out of danger spots, which makes landing combinations on him a difficult matter.

 

“I try not to stay in the same spot for too long,” said the 23-year-old Zarate. “By moving and changing the pace, my opponents typically can’t time my movements.”

Humberto Rubalcava (1-0, 1 KO), a Riverside native who turned professional in April, faces super bantamweight Richard Tallmadge, who will be making his pro debut (4-rondes).
