Floresas yra universalus bokso vaikinas: boksininkas, televizijos spalvų komentatorius, ir treneris.

Jo tėvas, Ralfas Floresas, buvo karinis asmuo, kuris uždirbo “bokso treniruočių kaulai” per Kenny Adams, vyriausiasis treneris 1988 JAV bokso olimpinė rinktinė ir trenerio asistentas ketveriais metais anksčiau.

Kenny man vis dar yra kaip senelis.”

Floresas taip pat mėgo futbolą ir jam buvo pasiūlyta visa stipendija stoti į Brighamo Youngo universitetą.

Floresas nukreipė į krantinę 2004 JAV bokso olimpinė bokso komanda, ir jis buvo geriausias varžovas, tačiau, jis iš „Main Events“ gavo pasiūlymą tapti profesionaliu, kurį BJ apibūdino kaip pernelyg pelningą.

Per savo boksininko karjerą, tinklo pareigūnai atrado, kad jis buvo gabus boksininkas, taip pat gerai kalbama, gražus ir išmanantis sklandų pristatymą. Labiau už viską, jis galėjo veiksmingai palaužti kovotojus ir kovas ir užuot tik atkreipęs dėmesį į tai, kas įvyko, jis paaiškino, kodėl ir kas nutiks žiūrintiems gerbėjams.

Gėlės’ pertrauka, kai atėjo diktorius, pasak BJ, po jo 2008 kovoti prieš Darnell Wilson gyvena ESPN. “aš buvau 4-1 prieš Wilsoną,” - pasakė Floresas. “Jis buvo iškovojęs penkias pergales iš eilės, o mes kovojome jo gimtajame mieste (Doveris, Delaveras). Jis buvo reitinguojamas Nr. 2 o aš buvau Ne. 15. Į žiedą jis atėjo nešinas man pagalve, bet aš jį mušiau už 10 apie 12 raundai.

“Tada mane atvedė į ESPN studijas apklausti. Boksas buvo mano gyvenimas! Aš dirbauBrianas Kenny ir mes tuoj pat turėjome chemiją. Iki tų metų pabaigos, Kas tris savaites buvau ESPN komentatorius studijoje.”

Veiksmą iškvietėme iš studijos, bet norėčiau paskambinti kitų metų olimpiadai iš žiedo Japonijoje. Man tai patinka. Niekas kitas gyvenime man nėra svarbus, palyginti su olimpinėmis žaidynėmis.”

HEAVYWEIGHTS WALLIN AND FLORES BOTH EXPECTING VICTORY WHEN THEY CLASH ON SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION FRIDAY, Liepa 12 Gyventi SHOWTIME®

NEW YORK – July 9, 2019 –Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin says he has too many physical advantages, while former world title challenger BJ Flores says he has too much experience to lose their upcoming 10-round clash.



WBA No. 5-ranked Wallin (20-0, 13 Kos) and Flores (34-4-1, 21 Kos) will meet this Friday, Liepa 12, in the co-featured bout of a ShoBox: Naujos kartos tripleheader telecast (gyvena Showtime 10 p.m. ET / PT) from the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Skalbimas.



Presented by Salita Promotions and Brian Halquist Productions, “Battle at the Boat 122” will also feature top American heavyweight prospect Jermaine Franklin (18-0, 13 Kos), from Saginaw, Mich., returning for his second consecutive ShoBox test against the streaking Jerry Forrest (25-2, 19 Kos), Newport News, Va., in the 10-round headliner and in the opening televised bout, undefeated featherweight Giovanni Mioletti (16-0, 7 Kos) of Chicago will face Ecuador’s Luis Porozo (14-0, 7 Kos).



The 28-year-old Wallin, a southpaw from Sundsvall, Švedija, says he’s been expanding his horizons working with trainer Joey Gamache at Mendez Boxing in Manhattan.



“Training has been very good. I have been back in New York for six weeks now and I’ve had some great sparring with a lot of different guys and different styles,” said 28-year-old Wallin. “Sparring is the best training you can get. It’s the most like a fight, so just getting in with all these different guys is a great experience.”



Undefeated Wallin says he’s got too much of everything for former cruiserweight Flores in this fight.



“BJ Flores is a guy that’s experienced, but I know what to do,” Wallin said. “I have the tools to beat him. He’s good as a cruiserweight, but this is a heavyweight fight. It’s different than being a good cruiser. I will win because I’m a better boxer with better skills. I’m too big, young and strong for him. I always get nervous before a fight, but that’s part of it. Being nervous makes me sharper. I will eventually break him down.”



It’s been something of a whirlwind career for Wallin, who turned pro as the number one heavyweight on the Swedish National team after just 50 mėgėjai kovos. Heavily courted by promoters for his immense natural talent, Wallin now finds himself signed with Salita Promotions and in the top 5 of the WBA ratings after 20 PRO kovoja.



He credits trainer Gamache, himself a popular former fighter, with much of his success.



“Joey used to live in Denmark and so did I,” Wallin said. “That’s where we met six years ago. I followed him back to the US when he came back and I signed with Salita at the beginning of this year. We have a great relationship. I love him as a coach and as a person He’s done a lot for me including bringing me over here and making all these connections. I trust him 100% and he trusts me too.”



Wallin says having a great team behind him means ramping up his quest for a world championship.



“I want to have three or four fights this year. I haven’t had that many fights the last couple years, so it’s important to me to stay busy. Kitais metais, I’ll be looking for a bigger fight. I’m very excited about everything that is happening.”



The 40-year-old Flores, originally from Arizona, says preparations went surprisingly well for this fight.



“Training couldn’t have gone better,” Flores said. “I had eight good weeks of training and I have zero injuries. Būti sąžiningas, I thought camp would be tougher, but everything bounced back nicely. I’ve been sparring for seven weeks. I normally have something nagging on fight week, but I sparred 10 rounds Saturday. I sparred four rounds today. aš turiu 22 rounds in since last Wednesday and I feel great.”



Gėlės, a two-time world cruiserweight title challenger, says Wallin will be facing a totally different type of opponent than the ones he’s used to.



“He’s never been tested by a guy who thought he could win. Everybody he’s fought came in as an opponent. That’s not to say he’s not good, but I’m the first fighter on his resume coming in expecting to win and I’ve been in with far better opposition.



“I feel like once I get him in the middle rounds and show him he’s in with somebody who is not going anywhere, that’s when we will find out what he’s made of. My experience and game plan are perfect for testing an untested guy. Just because he’s untested doesn’t mean he can’t fight, but we’re going to find out Friday night.”



Contrary to most fighters’ preference, Flores says he’s happy Wallin is a left-handed fighter.



“I’ve been sparring nothing but tall southpaws. Iš tikrųjų, I haven’t sparred an orthodox fighter in nine weeks. I prefer to fight southpaws. It’s better for my punch selection to fight a southpaw. I’ve never had a problem with it and I’ve never lost to one.”



Now a 16-year pro, Flores says he won’t be worried if the younger fighter comes out with some early aggression.



“If he wants to start fast, that’s OK. I don’t care about the first two or three rounds. The real fight starts after the fourth round. I plan on winning the early rounds, but even if I don’t, it doesn’t matter until we get in the middle rounds. I’m going to attack and be aggressive and go up and down on him. Get him to the middle rounds and see where he’s at. I know where I’m at. I’ve been in with the best heavyweights and cruiserweights in the world over the last 15 metų. I feel great and I’m ready.”



Barry Tompkins will call the action from ringside with boxing historian Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. Vykdomoji gamintojas yra Gordon salė su Richard Gaughan gaminti ir Rickas Phillips vadovavimas.

BJ Flores is not coming to test Wallin. He is coming to win and feels he has what it takes to teach Wallin a lesson.



“Jermaine Franklin is the best American heavyweight prospect and, at only 25 metai, still has a ton of growth potential. He passed his first test on ShoBox in April and we look forward to getting a second look at him in another step-up fight. Forrest is far more experienced than Franklin. This will be his fifth fight of 2019, and he is fully aware of what a win will do for his career.”



Bilietus į renginį, which is promoted by Salita Promotions in association with Brian Halquist Productions, go on sale Saturday, Birželis 1 and are available via Ticketmaster and the Emerald Queen Box Office.

“Otto Wallin is an example of what happens when you combine dreams and hard work. He grew up in a small town in Sweden and aims to challenge for the heavyweight world title and follow in the footsteps of Ingemar Johansson. Otto is fighting a proven veteran in BJ Flores who’s only losses have been in world title fights, so I expect it will be an exciting matchup from the opening bell.”



The 25-year-old Franklin (18-0, 13 Kos), from Saginaw, Mich., is a former amateur standout and a 2014 National Golden Gloves Champion. A likely candidate to represent the U.S. ne 2016 Olimpinės žaidynės, Franklin turned down the opportunity to compete for a spot on the team and instead chose to begin his professional career in 2015. Widely regarded as the top American heavyweight prospect, Franklin has built his undefeated record with relative ease since turning pro, knocking out nine of his first 10 professional opponents. Franklin made his SHOWTIME debut in the co-featured bout of the Claressa Shields vs. Christina Hammer event in April, earning a unanimous decision over former No. 1-ranked U.S. amateur Rydell Booker.



“In my SHOWTIME debut earlier this year, I felt I could have put on a better show but I won and that’s most important,” Franklin said. “Winning this fight is an important step toward my dreams of fighting for a heavyweight championship. This fight also is a chance for the fans to see me more focused and prepared. Jerry Forrest has been around the game for a while and he brings a lot of skills to the ring. I will be ready for him.”



Forrest (25-2, 19 Kos), Newport News, Va., has won eighteen consecutive bouts since dropping back-to-back contests to world title challenger Gerald Washington and Michael Hunter, whose only professional loss came to former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Forrest, a 6-foot-1 southpaw, scored an eight-round unanimous decision over Joshua Tufte his last time out in April.



“This is a long time coming for me,” said Forrest. “My record and my potential are definitely worthy to fight in the main event on national television. This is where I should be. I’m very comfortable and I’m not at all overwhelmed. I’ve fought in the Nationals and big tournaments and I’m not afraid of the spotlight. Franklin throws a lot of punches and tries to bully you out. He’s not super accurate from what I see. He’s a heavyweight who will try to outwork you. I see him as a very similar fighter to Andy Ruiz. My training is going great, I haven’t been out of shape in two years. I’ve been in the gym grinding and doing it old school.”



Wallin (20-0, 13 Kos, 1 NA) padarė savo Ne JAV. debut on SHOWTIME in April, also on the undercard of Shields-Hammer, but his fight with Nick Kisner was cut short after an accidental headbutt left Kisner unable to continue, resulting in a No Decision.

The 28-year-old southpaw won the Swedish Boxing Championship at 16-years-old, fought against Anthony Joshua twice as an amateur and was a member of the Swedish National Boxing Team. Currently ranked in the top-ten by both the WBA and IBF, Wallin now has his sights set on becoming his country’s first Heavyweight Champion since Ingemar Johansson in 1960.



“My U.S. debut did not go the way I had hoped and I didn’t get a chance to show off my skills,” said Wallin. “I’m really looking forward to going out there again getting a chance to show a lot more. This is a fight I need to win if I want to go somewhere. I need to win and I need to look good doing it. I need to be sharp at all times and not take anything for granted. This is a sport where everything can change in the blink of an eye.”



Gėlės (34-4-1, 21 Kos) Paaiškėjo Pro 2003 and has enjoyed a long, successful career competing mostly as a cruiserweight. Undefeated through the first seven years and 25 bijau savo karjerą, Flores suffered his first setback when he traveled to Australia to challenge Danny Green for his IBO Cruiserweight world title, dropping a unanimous decision.

Šį kartą, Flores was stopped by WBC Cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew in Liverpool. Flores has since moved to heavyweight, where he has won two of his three fights.



“Not only is this a winnable fight for me, Aš esu 100 percent winning this,” said Flores. “I’m working with [mokytojai] Angel Heredia and Ibn Cason and world class heavyweight Kubrat Pulev. Working with this team is perfect for getting my strength and conditioning up for this fight, and sparring with one of the top guys in the world in Pulev is making me very sharp. I know Wallin is undefeated and has a good amateur style. He’s tall and has good boxing ability. I know he’s got some talent and is a young up and coming guy. He’ll be trying to make a name for himself off of my name, so I’ll be ready for that.”

HURRICANE WRIGHT WANTS TO TOPPLE TOP CRUISERWEIGHTS CHICAGO BOXER TARGETS CHAMP SHUMENOV

Čikagos, IL (Vasaris 22, 2016) – BoxRec.com says Jaunesnysis Wright is the number-two ranked cruiserweight in the United States, and the Chicagoan is keen to show he should have the top slot.

Penktadienį, the 15-1-1 Wright got a 1st round stoppage over Jim Franklin on a show in Iowa, and the boxer feels he’s building superb momentum, which will soon result in another title shot.

The fight was over so fast I couldn’t really tell you much about it,” said Wright, juokiasi. “But I threw a really good body shot to put him down and then afterwards I just threw a lot of combinations when he got up and they stopped it. I feel great about my win. While training for my world title fight with Rakhim Chakhiev in 2015, I had an injury but still went ahead with the fight. After the match I had surgery and now I am 100 hundred percent. I feel ready for all the top cruiserweights in the world, from what I see there is not much out there to worry about in the division. I would love the opportunity to fight Beibut Shumenov for a world title. He is one of the dominant champions and his fights happen in the U.S. so I feel there is no home-turf advantage, no jet leg to worry about. I feel very confident in this fight and my abilities!”

Wright is now No. 13 in the WBA and wants to fight best in the division, including WBA world champion Shumenov, or BoxRec No. 1 in the USA, BJ Floresas.

His promoter Dmitry Salita backs the fighter nicknamed “Uraganas” all the way.

I’ve always felt that Junior Wright is one of the best cruiserweights in the world and most definitely in the U.S.,” Žodis sako. “I believe he has the tools to compete with and beat the best fighters in the cruiserweight division.
