“Cleverly har en stor hake. Han er en stor fighter. Han tok en rekke slag og ikke bryte ned. Han ønsket fortsatt å gå fremover og kampen. Han trodde han kunne vinne helt til slutten.
“Jeg tenkte jeg skulle slå ham ut før kampen, men under kampen innså jeg at han har stor forsvar. Jeg hadde ingen anelse om at han kunne ta så mange slag og fortsatt være i kampen. Jeg innså at det ville være svært vanskelig å slå ham ut. Jeg respekterer ham veldig mye.
“Det var ikke den tøffeste kampen i min karriere, men jeg er glad fordi det var en vanskelig 12 runder.
“Jeg fikk følelsen jeg brakk nesen rundt den syvende eller åttende runde. Etter å ha tatt så mange harde slag følte jeg at han var iført ned.
“Jeg var positivt jeg vunnet før de leser vedtaket. De siste par runder var det ingen tvil hvem som var den bedre fighter. Han var fortsatt kaste slag, men jeg var blokkerer dem og treffer ham veldig hardt.
“Hva er det neste for meg? Hawaii. Ferie.”
NATHAN Cleverly

“Han kan virkelig bang – han er ikke langt unna Sergey Kovalev for strøm. Men jeg trodde jeg hadde ham før nesen gikk og jeg tror at uten at, Jeg kunne ha fått seieren. Men til slutt, Jeg tror 115-113 var omtrent rett, og kreditt til ham, Han tok noen slag i det også, og fortsatte å komme.
“Det har vært en stor opplevelse over her i USA. – det er en ganske fiendtlig publikum, men de alle gratulerte meg etter kampen. Ville jeg gjøre det igjen? Hvorfor ikke – det er det vi er her for å gjøre, satt på underholdende kamper for store fans, og jeg er sikker på at det vil være behov for det.”
Kohei KONO

“Jeg er så glad for at jeg fikk møte Kameda og få denne seieren over ham. Det er en stor seier for min karriere.
“Hvis vi hadde kjempet ved hjelp av bevegelse, han sannsynligvis ville ha slått meg, men han bestemte seg for å handle slag med meg og som ga meg en sjanse til å vinne.
“Min jab var suveren i kveld og min uppercut sjelden savnet. Tidlig i kampen var jeg ikke sikker på at jeg kunne ta sin makt. Men etter at han slo meg et par ganger, og jeg var der fortsatt, Jeg begynte å få tillit.
“Jeg følte meg bra hele uken, og jeg visste at min prestasjon ville være veldig sterk. Selv før jeg dro til US-. Jeg følte meg bedre enn jeg noen gang har hatt før en kamp.”
KOKI Kameda
Jeg trente veldig hardt for denne kampen. Jeg er veldig skuffet.
“Jeg hadde tenkt å ta en beslutning om å trekke seg eller ikke basert på resultatet mitt. Jeg føler at det kan være på tide for meg å pensjonere.
“Min utholdenhet var ikke hva det skal være i de senere rundene.
“Jeg fikk fanget i andre runde fordi jeg gjorde en feil jeg ikke skulle ha gjort. Han kjempet veldig bra, og jeg ble overrasket over sin makt. Jeg tror det er på tide for meg å pensjonere.”

“Jeg har vunnet noen store kamper, og jeg er stolt av det, men jeg må holde fokus på sporten og fortsette å gjøre mitt beste. Jeg er bare en vanlig fyr. Jeg er en bokser og en kriger og jeg fortsetter å forbedre med hver kamp. Det er viktigere for meg enn å bli kalt en stigende stjerne i boksing.
“Cleverly sier han er for glatt for meg, men vi får se hva som skjer i ringen på fredag. Du vet aldri hva som vil skje i en kamp. Kanskje han er raskere og stiligere, men jeg er sterkere, og jeg tror jeg er en bedre fighter akkurat nå.
“Planen er å slå ham på fredag, men hvis jeg får muligheten vil jeg slå ham ut. Dette er sporten vi er i: blod og svette.
“Cleverly er et veldig stort skritt for meg. Jeg vet han er en erfaren fyr. Han er en god teknisk fyr. Han er rask og slu, men jeg vil at dere liker ham. Jeg ønsker ikke bums som dukker opp for å få betalt og gå ned i andre eller tredje runde. Jeg vil ha en fyr som forteller meg før en kamp at han kan slå meg. Som motiverer meg.”
NATHAN Cleverly
“Det kommer til å være en hyggelig opplevelse å kjempe i sin bakgård av Chicago. Det er litt av et eventyr. Trykket er av på en måte fordi han har forventningene til hjemmepublikum. Jeg bare kommer hit for å gjøre jobben min og vinne kampen.
“Jeg er sikker på det blir en god kamp, ​​og jeg er klar.
“Fonfara er en god fighter. Han er høy og rangy. Han er en god puncher og sterk. Han er fit. Han kaster riktig, solide slag, men jeg tror jeg vil vinne fordi jeg har rett og slett fått flere verktøy, og jeg har gjort mer for å spillet mitt. Jeg er skarpere med mer bevegelse. Min kombinasjon punching vil bli for mye for ham.”
KOEHEI KONO
“Jeg har alltid hatt en drøm om å kjempe i USA. Jeg vil gjøre mitt beste for å utføre opp til den historiske karakter av denne kampen.
“Kameda sier han er en "karismatisk geni.’ Jeg er uenig, og jeg er her for å bevise ham feil. Jeg vil bevise detFredag natt at jeg er den sanne kraft.
“Jeg er stolt av min utholdenhet og aktivitet hastighet og min slagkraft. Det er derfor jeg vil vinne denne kampen.”
KOKI Kameda
“Jeg er i best form av hele mitt boksekarriere akkurat nå. Jeg tilbrakte fem uker i Las Vegas trening med Ismael Salas og det var beste jeg kunne ha gjort. Jeg gjorde ikke noe, men forberede seg på denne kampen.
“Kono lovet den japanske pressen og fansen at han ville banke meg ut… det er omtrent det siste som kommer til å skje i denne kampen. Jeg finner det morsomt.
“Dette er første gang to japanske har kjempet for en VM-tittel i USA, men jeg har ikke noen spesiell følelse om den historiske natur. Dette er bare en annen kamp for meg fordi hver eneste kamp jeg er i er like viktig for meg. Selv en fire-runde kampen er liv eller død for meg.”

CARSON, Calif. (April 18, 2015) – Confident and determined, Andrzej “The PolishPrince” Fonfara (27-3, 16 KOs) spoiled the ring return of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KOs) in resounding fashion Lørdag natt, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofSHOWTIME Championship Boxing leve på SHOWTIME.

 

Fonfara, of Chicago by way of Radon, Polen, dropped Chavez, of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico, with a wide left hook 50 seconds into the ninth round before a boisterous crowd of 8,636 predominately-Chavez fans at StubHub Center. It was the first time in 52 professional fights that Chavez had hit the canvas from a punch.

 

Upon returning to the corner, Chavez could be heard on the telecast telling trainer Joe Goossen that he had hurt his right leg and could no longer continue. Øyeblikk senere, the fight was halted. The busier and more accurate fighter throughout, Fonfara was comfortably ahead on the three judges’ scorecards by scored of 89-80 og 88-81 twice after nine full rounds.

 

Offered an ecstatic Fonfara, who had his fair share of Polish fans at the venue: “I knew he was a tough fighter, quick and in good shape but when he hit me for the first time in the first round, I knew I was going to win this fight. He didn’t punch as hard as everybody said he did.

 

“I saw his punches easily coming in. I know I threw more punches. I was a little surprised that he did not come out for the (10th) but he was cut, had been getting beat up and had just got knocked down, so he knew what would happen if he came out.

 

“Chavez said before the fight that he didn’t think I could take his body punches. I think I took them pretty good and passed that test.

 

“I know there are things I can still work on in training to become a more complete boxer, meni kveld was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Light Heavyweight World Champion) Adonis Stevenson.

 

Said Chavez, the son of legendary Mexican icon, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. in the ring afterward and before he was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, “Maybe 170,172 pounds is too big for me, maybe I’ll go back down. I’m not sure what my future holds. It was a very tough fight. But I congratulate Andrzej.”

 

Goossen told reporters afterward that he had “stopped the fight. It was my decision. I didn’t like what I saw. ”

 

In the first half of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader, undefeated world-ranked super lightweight Amir jeg (17-0, 14 KOs), of Davie, Fla., ved hjelp av Albany, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “The Hammer” Slott.

 

The talented, versatile, Jeg har, 24, controlled a fight that featured numerous exchanges especially early on with a left jab and straight right hand.

 

“My combinations were effective the whole night, we stuck to our gameplan and came out victorious,” said Imam. “I want any of the world champions next”.

 

Slott, who saw a nine-fight winning streak come to an end, sa “I thought I won the fight. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; vel, that gives me no chance to win here. The cut bothered me in the early rounds, but was not a factor after.”

 

Tidligere Lørdag, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, ubeseiret Moises “El Chucky” Blomster (23-0, 16 KOs), av Guadalajara, Mexico, captured the WBA Super Bantamweight Interim World Championship with a thrilling 12-round split decision over defending champion Oscar Escandon (24-2 16 KOs), of Tolima, Colombia.

 

Blomster, gjør sin 2015 debut and third start in a row in the United States, triumf av resultatet av 116-112 to ganger, og 113-115.

 

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “Dette er en drøm som går i oppfyllelse – more than a dream come true – for me,” han sa. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, ja, I thought it was very, very close but I absolutely feel I won.

 

“I want to fight the best next, the top guys at 122 pounds and right now the top guy is Leo Santa Cruz. That’s who I’d like to fight next. I really want to thank all my team, from top to bottom, for giving me this wonderful opportunity. We’re very happy that we joined the Al Haymon team. We’re very loyal and we just really appreciate everything they’ve done for us.”

 

Escandon felt he’d done enough to win despite injuring the right index finger on his right hand in the seventh round.

“I did all that I could, everything was in my reach, but I think I broke or fractured my finger,” han sa. “In boxing things happen that are out of your control. Because I hurt my hand, I couldn’t throw punches the way I wanted to with my right hand. I tried to do all I could with it. But I didn’t want to injure it further. I’m OK, but I definitely would love a rematch.”

 

In the SHOWTIME EXTREME co-feature, super weltervekt Omar “El Businessman”Chavez (33-3-1, 22 KOs), of Culiacan, the younger brother of Chavez, Jr. and son of legendary Julio Cesar Sr., won an exciting, hardt kjempet, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 KOs), of Arjona, Colombia.

Chavez won by the scores of 78-75 to ganger, og 77-74. There were no knockdowns.

 

Unbeaten Argentine welterweight Fabian “TNT” Maidana (6-0, 5 KOs), Santa Fe, Argentina, the brother of former world champion Marcos Maidana, registered a second-round TKO (32 sekunder inn i runde) over outclassed Cory Vom Baur (2-3), of Vancouver, Vask.

What the fighters, trainers and executives said Torsdag:

 

Julio Cesar CHAVEZ JR., Tidligere verdensmester

“I had a great training camp. I feel better than ever. I am ready for the fight.

 

“I know that this is a new weight class for me. I realize that Fonfara is very tough and bigger than me, but I am up for the challenge.

 

“I have worked on my boxing during my one year off, and I am very excited and motivated to get back in the ring.

 

“I have worked so hard for this fight because I am fighting in a new weight class. I must punch harder, so I have focused on getting stronger during this training camp.

 

“I have a great chin, I know how to take punches and my conditioning is great. A lot of fighters can take a punch, but I can take multiple punches and not be hurt.

 

“I think that Andrzej Fonfara is one of the best fighters in the light heavyweight division. Inside of boxing, everyone knows who Fonfara is. He knocked down one of the best boxers in the world in Adonis Stevenson.

 

“Fonfara is disciplined in the ring, but he doesn’t vary his punches.

 

“I understand that my dad didn’t want me to take this fight. I had bigger names I could’ve fought, but I think that Fonfara is a great challenge for me and I like the challenge.

 

“I would like to thank SHOWTIME for making this fight happen.”

 

Andrzej Fonfara, World Title Challenger

“I’m prepared very well and I’m ready for this fight. It’s been a great camp like always. I train hard for each fight. I’m a tough boxer who is feeling great. The weight is good and everything is perfect.

 

“I must put everything into Lørdag night and I will win the fight.

 

“I must look even better than I did against Stevenson. Everyone said I looked good, but I lost the fight. I didn’t want congratulations because I did not win the fight. But this time I will win the fight. I’m ready for a decision or for a knockout.

 

“I’m ready with a couple of plans. I don’t want to run around the ring, I want to fight tough. I’m going to use my jab and my right hand, which is my best punch.

 

“I’m not worried about what his father said about not fighting me. Chavez Jr. wants to fight and I will show him that his father was right.

 

“It doesn’t matter how I win, I want to win this fight and get my rematch with Adonis Stevenson.

 

“Chavez Jr. er en stor fighter. He uses a lot of combinations and has a powerful punch that I must be ready for. I want to show the whole world how good I am when I win this fight på lørdag.

 

“If I get the chance, Jeg kommer til å slå ham ut. It’s boxing so you never know what will happen. I want to box round-by-round and win this fight.

 

“I lost the fight with Stevenson but I showed that I was a good boxer. I’m a much smarter fighter now because of that experience. That was a fight at the top championship level.

 

“It doesn’t matter what Chavez Jr. says at a press conference, we’ll be in the ring Lørdagand everything will happen there.

 

“Fan’s can expect heavy punches, knockdowns and a great fight.”

 

AMIR LOVE, Ubeseiret Super Lett Contender

“I’m confident going into this fight because of how I train. I have put my heart and soul into this sport since I moved to Florida three years ago. I left everything behind to better myself.

 

“I’m going to stay smart and composed in there and do everything I can to get the win.

 

“I don’t feel like I need the knockout to come away with a successful fight. Men, you better believe that if there is an opportunity to knock him out, then I will take advantage of it.

 

“I 2015, Jeg ønsker å bli en verdensmester. This is my breakout year. A lot of people have been buzzing about me. I want to become the WBC world champion, that’s what I’m heading for.

 

“Jeg vet han er [Slott] a good opponent, he’s got a great resume, and he’s coming to fight. He has a great record, so that alone shows what he’s capable of. Slik som Lørdag night may the better man win.

 

“I’ve boxed styles like [hans] plenty of times, but you never know, he could come out different Lørdagnatt.

 

“I’m ready to put on a great show for the SHOWTIME audience.”

 

CASTILLO WALTER, Super Lett Contender

“I’m coming here to fight. I can tell you one thing, Amir Imam made a big mistake by taking this fight.

 

“I’ve fought a lot of tough fighters; my two losses were by decisions where I feel I was robbed. I’ve fought better fighters than Amir has.

 

“Slik som Lørdag, I’m going to announce to the whole world that Walter Castillo is here to stay and he’s going to be a world champion.”

SR Julio Cesar CHAVEZ.

“Being in Los Angeles is like being in Mexico for me; I have had many great memories. I became the world champion for this first time here and my son also became the world champion for the first time here, også.

 

“Julio definitely has a very difficult fight ahead of him.

 

“If I was Julio’s manager, I wouldn’t have taken this fight. Fonfara is a difficult and tough fighter.

 

“My son wants to fight fighters of quality and wants credibility in boxing.

 

“Julio has worked and trained very hard for this fight .He has the capability to win and we expect that it will go very well.”

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez’ Trener

“Julio has a window here the next five, six, seven years that he can capitalize on.

 

“I think he’s left the childish stuff behind, and we’re all guilty of being childish.

 

“I think that Julio has surprised his father with his determination heading into this fight.

He’s got a left hook to the liver that just sends a shock through your body.

 

“He’s not soft. He’s a real fighter. I have been around enough fighters to know that he’s a real fighter. Nummer en, he has the never-say- die attitude in there.

 

“We’re up against a very well-schooled, blue collar, workmanlike fighter in Fonfara.

 

“He is an athletic, improvisational fighter, in that you don’t know where everything’s coming from.

 

“I’ve watched a lot of Fonfara tape, and he pretty much repeats what he does, but he repeats it well.

 

“This is going to be a battle. You’ve got two contrasting styles and personalities.

 

“Julio has 51 fights under his belt. He’s no rookie and he comes from a great bloodline. (In the short time I’ve been with him, it has been) more of an association than a dictatorial effort between the two of us.

 

“Based on former camps, he’s never really extracted himself from comfortable surroundings and put himself in a position where he is completely isolated like he was in Lake Tahoe.”

 

SAM COLONNA, Fonfara’s Trainer

“Fonfara could turn it up whenever. He could be down on the scorecards and one punch he throws could change someone’s world. He’s proven in the past that he has power in both hands.

 

“The styles in this fight are perfect for each other. When people ask about the fight I say it could go either way, it depends on who catches the other first.

 

“I’m looking for Fonfara to dominate, but Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is a warrior, he comes to fight, he knows how to go to the body like his father used to, so we’ve been working on all of these strategies.

 

“A knockout win would be a dream come true to me. That’s what I’ve been looking for all these years. Winning this huge fight would change everything for Fonfara and myself.

 

“This camp that Andrzej had was the best we’ve ever had. He worked hard, he had time to train and there’s no excuses.

 

“We’re coming to fight a war. Don’t forget that wars are won by strategy.

 

“People say to listen to your father. His father told him not to take this fight, but he took it anyway and that was a mistake.

 

“I see this fight not going past 10 runder, with us getting the knockout.”

 

STACY MCKINLEY, Imamens Trainer

“Amir has always trained very hard, but I did see a change in him in this training camp after the last fight. He has stepped up his training by two levels.

 

“He learned a lot about his fight against [Fidel Maldonado] under the bright SHOWTIME lights at the MGM Grand.

 

“Amir is always confident going into each fight, but he made a mistake in the Maldonado fight. He rolled his right hand and forgot about the left hand and was knocked down. He had to pay for his mistakes but it’s all a learning experience, he still has only 16 professional fights under his belt.

 

“Castillo has a great jab and good combinations. A guy like that throws a lot of punches, but there is a technique to breaking down a fighter like that.

 

“We can’t spend a lot of time on the ropes, and we must go after his body because his body is weak. Castillo is going to get knocked out på lørdag.

 

“I think that Amir is going to open up a lot of eyes på lørdag.”

VAN NUYS, Calif.(April 13, 2015) – Tidligere verdensmester Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. holdt en media trening på fredag in front of a packed house at Ten Goose Boxing Gym in Van Nuys, Calif., as the Mexican superstar prepares to make his SHOWTIME Championship Boxing® debut på Lørdag, April 18, i StubHub Center i Carson, Calif., leve på SHOWTIME(10 pm. OG/7 pm. PT).

 

I hovedturneringen av SHOWTIME Championship Boxingdouble, Meksikanske super Chavez, Jr. (48-1-1, 32 KOs) meets dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara (26-3, 15 KOs) i en 12-runde lett tungvekt bout.

 

I 10-runde co-feature, topp 10 ranked junior welterweight contender Amir jeg (16-0, 14 KOs) will aim to move one step closer to a world title opportunity when he makes his second start of 2015 against fellow power-puncher Walter Castillo (25-2, 18 KOs).

 

Julio Cesar Chavez, uten tvil den største meksikanske fighter gjennom tidene, gjorde en opptreden under sønnens trening for å vise sin støtte og tilby oppmuntrende ord.

 

Her er hva Chavez Jr., Julio Cesar Chavez and Joe Goossen (trener) hadde å si Fredag ved Los Angeles-området gym:

 

Julio Cesar CHAVEZ JR., Tidligere verdensmester

“I am very focused going into this fight. I have changed a lot mentally this past year.

 

“I am fighting [Andrzej] Fonfara now because I like big opponents. I like the challenge of fighting good, hungry fighters. Just because Fonfara doesn’t have the name recognition of other fighters, it doesn’t make him an easy fighter. Han er tøff.

 

“I feel comfortable at light heavyweight. Any time that you can add a couple pounds, you feel better. Although I will be fighting at 175, I feel most comfortable at 168 som en bokser. Since I have had one year off, it was a better choice to fight at this weight so that I could see how my body feels.

 

“Since I have added a few pounds, I have become a more physical and stronger boxer. The light heavyweight division has very big and physical contenders.

 

“Joe [Goossen] is a great trainer. He is a great motivator to his fighters and makes them better. I have worked very hard with him for the 35 days we spent together in Lake Tahoe.

 

“When I was training with Freddie Roach, it was very different. I think Freddie is a great trainer, but Joe also has a lot of experience and we have made a connection together.

 

“I really liked training in Lake Tahoe. The altitude, ringen, everything I needed was there. I felt very comfortable up there and I would like to come back there to train for a fight again.

 

“I promise a great fight, this is a very exciting fight. Fonfara isn’t an easy opponent, but he has never seen an opponent like me.”

 

 

SR Julio Cesar CHAVEZ.

“I am here to support and be with my son. I try to give him good advice. I tell him to train and prepare hard, and fortunately he is doing that well.

 

“I think Joe [Goossen] is doing a great job, we are on the same page. We are all focused on him [Chavez Jr.] getting to the fight well prepared. This fight requires great preparation because he is going into the fight at a weight that’s higher than his normal weight and he is facing a very tough opponent.

 

“He must go in 100 percent to win this fight.

 

“I think there has been a 180 degree turn in his career. I see this as a positive because he can really develop his ability and looks very well prepared.

 

“I would’ve liked to have seen him take a tune up fight instead because of his long layoff; I particularly didn’t want this fight.

 

“Juli [Chavez Jr.] wants credibility in this sport and that’s why he made the decision to take this fight, even though it’s a dangerous decision. He must be very prepared for this fight.”

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez Jr.s’ Trener

“I’ve been asked over the years who the one fighter was that I would like to work and my answer was always Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

 

“I’ve always really admired his style. I had known him as a kid, his father is a legend. It had always seemed like a dream job for me, and out of nowhere I got it.

 

“Lake Tahoe was tremendous for training camp. You are isolated and it’s not an easy thing. When you aren’t training you are sitting in a hotel room. You are deprived the comforts of home, but it really gives you that concentration and dedication factor and I think that will interpret into some positive results.

 

“I matured over my years, once I had a kid and a family and I think the same has happened with Julio. Life becomes clearer when you put away the immaturity. You realize that you have a future and if you really want to access what’s available to you, then you are going to have to work hard and dedicate yourself to it.

 

“Going to Lake Tahoe and really working hard is a sign of maturity and I think that’s what Julio is going through right now. He really showed it by leaving his home and spending an extended period of time up there. To me that is a great indicator that he is mature, dedicated and taking this fight very seriously.

 

“Of course I believe Julio is ready to fight Fonfara. The fight was made before I even came on board, but that’s the challenge that I am presented with. You must figure out a good game plan and figure out what you’re up against.

 

“Just because Julio has been out a year doesn’t mean that it’s going to be a cake walk for Fonfara. We went up to Lake Tahoe with one thing in mind, and that’s winning this fight and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”

UNDEFEATED 140-POUND CONTENDER AMIR IMAM TO FACE WALTER CASTILLO IN CHAVEZ-FONFARA CO-FEATURE APRIL 18 ON SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Legg igjen en kommentar

Lørdag, April 18, LIVE på SHOWTIME® (10 pm. OG/7 pm. PT)

From StubHub Center In Carson, Calif.

NEW YORK (April 8, 2015) – Topp 10 ranked super lightweight contender Amir jeg (16-0, 14 KOs) will aim to move one step closer to a world title opportunity when he makes his second start of 2015 against fellow power-puncher Walter Castillo (25-2, 18 KOs) in the 10-round co-feature of SHOWTIME Championship Boxing på Lørdag, April 18, LIVE on SHOWTIME (10 pm. OG/7 pm. PT)

 

In the main event from StubHub Center i Carson, Calif., Meksikanske superstjerne Julio Cesar Chavez(48-1-1, 32 KOs) faces exciting brawler Andrzej Fonfara (26-3, 15 KOs), of Chicago by way of Poland, i en 12-runde lett tungvekt bout.

 

En av boksing raskest stigende prospekter, 24-åringen Imam har slått ut 14 av hans 16 professional opponents since turning pro in 2011. The Albany, N.Y., native is coming off a fifth-round TKO of Fidel Maldonado Jr., in a brawl on Jan. 17 on SHOWTIME that featured five total knockdowns. Jeg har, currently ranked No. 4 in the WBA and No. 7 i WBC, touched the canvas for the first time in his career but bounced back and relied on his power to floor Maldonado a total of four times.

 

“I know Walter is a tough fighter, he comes forward and throws a lot of punches,” Imam sa. “But I will figure him out quickly once I get inside the ring. I’m working on a lot of different things for this training camp, lots of tricky moves that are going to excite the fans. It’s great to fight outdoors at StubHub Center and to showcase my talents on SHOWTIME. I’m here to entertain and prove I’m ready for that title shot.”

 

Slott (25-2, 18 KOs), Managua, Nicaragua, has won nine straight and KO’d six of his last seven opponents. The 26-year-old has fought mostly in Nicaragua and the only blemishes on his record are a split-decision loss in his pro debut and a controversial 2008 split decision on the road against former world champ Vicente Mosquera i Panama. Slott, who has knocked out his last four opponents inside of four rounds, will make his second start in the U.S. after winning his American debut via first round TKO last October.

 

“Jeg er veldig begeistret for denne kampen. I’ve been training hard for months now and can’t wait for the bell to ring,” Castillo said. “Where I’m from we have a history of great warriors like Alexis Arguello and Rosendo Alvarez and on April 18 I’m looking to moving one step closer to adding my name to that list. Imam may be undefeated but I’m ready for a war.”
