Silva ready to shine against Lopez

Skryf 'n opmerking

Silva Lopez.jpg

Plant City, FL (Junie 26, 2018) – Lightweight William “Baby Face” Silva has an outstanding professional record of 25-1 met 14 oorwinnings deur knockout. The Plant City, FL based Brazilian won most of his bouts comfortably and has been top 15 Rated.

 

 

 

Teofimo Lopez is considered a blue chip prospect though he’s yet to face a stiff challenge as a professional.

 

 

 

The talented 20-year-old represented Honduras at the 2016 Olympics and is 9-0 met 7 oorwinnings deur knockout. Following a recent ESPN televised first round KO, Lopez received much attention for a victory dance he did honoring the popular game Fortnite.

 

 

 

Op Julie 14, Silva and Lopez square off over ten rounds for the WBC Continental Americas lightweight title. The bout will air live on ESPN and ESPN Deportes at 7 namiddag. ET from the Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, LA. A large crowd is expected.

 

 

 

With just over two weeks until the opening bell sounds, Silva’s sharpening his tools in an intense camp with head trainer Jose Rodriguez at Plant City Boxing Gym. Between extra time in the gym, world class sparring and an added motivation from the public viewing him as an underdog, Silva is confident July 14 will elevate his career, not Lopez’.

 

 

 

“I feel great and our preparations have gone exactly as planned so far,” Silva said following a training session at Plant City Boxing Gym. “Lopez is a good fighter but this is a great opportunity to show that I’m also a top talent. My team and I will be prepared for victory July 14.”

 

 

 

Silva’s promoter, Jody Caliguire of Fire Fist Boxing, has seen a significant improvement in his fighter in the last six months and believes that Lopez is in for a surprise.

 

 

 

“I believe some people are probably expecting to see the William Silva they did against Felix Verdejo but they’re in for a major surprise. He’s a totally different fighter now and improvements have been made across the board that I’ve seen firsthand in the gym. If Lopez and his supporters are viewing Silva as a stepping stone with a good record it’s not only motivation for our side but a major mistake on theirs.”

 

 

 

The card is headlined by a battle of unbeatens between New Orleans’ very own Regis Prograis and Argentina’s Juan Jose Velasco for the World Boxing Council (WBC) interim super lightweight title.

 

 

 

Promoted by Top Rank in Association with DiBella Entertainment, tickets from $40 are on sale now at the Lakefront Arena box office, Ticketmaster.com and by calling 1-800-745-8000. Military, student and New Orleans Police Department members can receive discounted seats with a valid ID at the box office.

  • Tyrone “Young Gun” Brunson, Ouderdom: 33, Rank: 39, Tuisdorp: Philadelphia, PA – At a time when he needed to sell drugs to support himself at the age of 13, a stepfather’s ultimatum: be grounded or go to the boxing gym was his saving grace. Now a humble father of two, and sitting with one of the best rankings in the competition, sy 24 KO’s send a signal that he will not fight silently but his cocky attitude has beat him more than just once.

When one of his friends was shot and killed at 16, Devaun “Unique” Lee knew he needed a way out from the mean streets of Queens. Boxing keeps him straight. So do long hours fueling airplanes and caring for his five year old daughter. The real love of his life. Fatherhood and the sport are the motivation to take his NY State Middleweight championship to the next level.

 

 

The original Contender series ran for four seasons (2005-2009) and launched multiple fighters into contention for world titles, including title winners Sergio Mora, Cornelius Bundrage, Saki Bul, and Sam Soliman.

JARON ENNIS vs. ARMANDO ALVAREZ – 10-Round Welterweight Bout

Ennis will debut on ShoBox following a statement second round knockout of former junior welterweight contender Mike Arnaoutis earlier this month, sy 10ste consecutive KO victory. The Philadelphia native had a standout amateur career, notching an impressive record of 58-3 and winning the 2015 National Golden Gloves tournament. Ennis, who was ranked No. 1 as an amateur at 141 pond, narrowly missed the opportunity to represent the U.S. in die 2016 Olympics after losing a box-off to Gary Antuanne Russell at the Olympic Trials.

 

 

 

“This is the opportunity I have been waiting for,” Ennis said. “I can’t wait to show the world my talent.”

 

 

 

Net 20 jaar oud, Ennis currently trains under his father Derek “Bozy” Ennis Sr., who also trained his other sons Derek Jr. and Farah. The 5-foot-10 Ennis will be the third brother to appear on ShoBox; Derek Jr. appeared on the series in 2007, and Farah faced Badou Jack on the series in 2013.

 

 

 

“A win on this platform would mean everything,” Ennis continued. “From here on out, I want to fight only the big names in the division. I feel grateful for this opportunity to show the world my talents and skills. It’s great to follow in my brother’s footsteps, and I am ready to take the Ennis last name to the next level.”

 

 

 

The 28-year-old Alvarez turned professional in 2014 and has gradually increased his level of opposition. Alvarez, who now lives in Key West, compiled a 26-4 amateur record and won the Florida State Championship in 2013. His headlining fight with Ennis will be his second fight of 2018 and by far his toughest test to date.

 

 

 

“This is the biggest opportunity I have ever received,” Alvarez said. “This is it. It’s on. Ennis is a great young fighter, but I think he has stepped out of his league. He is just a kid. The world will find out who Armando Alvarez is on July 20.”

 

THOMAS Mattice vs. ZHORA HAMAZARYAN – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout

A 27-jaar-oue van Cleveland, Mattice draai pro in 2014 en het 'n amateur rekord van 72-18. He was a three-time Ohio State Golden Gloves Champion and bronze medal winner in the USA National Tournament in 2014.

 

 

 

Mattice will be making his second ShoBox appearance following a strong debut Feb. 2, when the undefeated lightweight rallied from behind to score a seventh round TKO of ShoBox veteran Rolando Chinea. Mattice has recorded five straight KOs and nine overall in 11 professionele gevegte.

 

 

 

“I am excited for the opportunity to showcase my talent again on ShoBox," Mattice said. “I’m going to go out there and do what I did before. I’m going to get a win, hopefully in knockout fashion. Hierdie man (Hamazaryan) doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into.”

 

 

 

Undefeated lightweight prospect Hamazaryan, who signed with Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing in February, is originally from Armenia but fights out of Los Angeles. Part of a long line of Armenian fighters who have fought in the U.S., Hamazaryan won his U.S. debut on Feb. 16, when he scored a unanimous decision win over the previously unbeaten Sergio Ramirez. Prior to his win against Ramirez, all of Hamazaryan’s victories were earned in Russia.

 

 

 

The 22-year-old was considered the No. 1 fighter in Armenia after an amateur career that spanned over 200 gevegte. Hamazaryan turned professional in 2015, turning down an opportunity to fight for the Armenian Olympic Team in 2016.

 

 

 

“This fight is very important for me, and I am very excited to be fighting on national television in America,” Hamazaryan said. “I know [Mattice] is undefeated but I normally don’t look at my opponent. I’m just looking to put on a great performance and make a statement for fans in the U.S.”

 

MONTANA LOVE vs. KENNETH SIMS JR. – Eight-Round Super Lightweight Bout

Cleveland native Love was an accomplished amateur who compiled a 174-13 rekord en het 'n brons medalje by die 2012 Nasionale kampioenskappe vir goue handskoene. The 22-year-old recently sparred with Adrien Broner, and served as head sparring partner for Robert Easter Jr. before his lightweight title defense against Javier Fortuna on Jan. 20.

 

 

 

Love has won two consecutive bouts against lesser opposition since defeating Samuel Teah in his ShoBox debut on Feb. 2.

 

 

 

“I am excited and happy to be back,"Het Love. “I want to put on another great performance. Sims and I grew up as amateurs together. Hy is 'n goeie vegter, but I am hungry and want to keep rolling. I can’t let anything get in my way.”

 

 

 

Chicago native Sims makes his return to ShoBox just over a year after suffering the first loss of his career against Rolando Chinea via close majority decision in what was his toughest test to date. The 24-year-old Sims, who has sparred with Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, was 'n 2013 U.S. National Amateur Champion and a 2012 Olympic Trials semifinalist.

 

 

 

“I am happy to be back fighting after having surgery on my elbow that had been bothering me for the last year and a half,” Sims said. “This is my chance to prove that I’m back and the loss on ShoBox was a fluke. I remember Love from the amateurs and I know I have what it takes to beat him.”

After landing a powerful straight right cross to the face of Lopez in the middle of round three, Sanginov was able to end the fight with a TKO victory. Met die oorwinning, Sanginov extends his winning streak to six in a row.

 

 

 

“This was my first time fighting in Mexico and I wanted to make it a memorable one,” said Mekhrubon Sanginov. “I landed some powerful blows in the early rounds and got him out of there in round three. Nou, I’m focused on getting back in the gym to get ready for my next fight. There is no time to relax, I need to stay busy.”

 

 

 

Sanginov is a promotional free agent. His goal is to sign with a promoter and stay busy, fighting at least three more times before the end of the year.

 

 

 

“I want to prove to all the promoters in boxing that I’m a special fighter who will work hard to get to the top,” Sanginov continued. “I’m dedicated and I’m willing to fight anyone. All I need is a chance to prove myself.”

LAUREANO VAN CONNECTICUT RETURNS VIR SY TWEEDE BOUT BY MOHEGAN SUN

Uncasville, Conn. (JUNIE 25, 2018) –Met 30 Junie wat vinnig nader kom, die hype vir STAR BOX'S “SLUGFEST by die SON” gaan voort om te bou, aangesien twee van die voorste vegters op die kaart hul tuiskoms in New England sal maak. In die samewerking, TYD “KO MEQUINONOAG” REIS (13-7-1 4KO se) van die Voorsienigheid, Rhode Island sal haar derde verskyning by Mohegan Sun teen VYFDE “DIE ELEGANT” RAMIREZ (11-5 5KO se). Dit dra by tot die opwinding, Connecticut se eie “AKSIE” ANTHONY LAUREANO (7-0 3KO se) van East Hartford sal terugkeer huis toe by Mohegan Sun in sy stryd teen JUAN de la CRUZ RODRIGUEZ (8-9-1 6KO se).

 

 

 

Die inheemse vegter van Rhode Island, Kali Reis, is geen vreemdeling vir helder ligte en druk nie. Met 'n indrukwekkende vertoning op HBO teen onbetwiste kampioen en #1 pond-vir-pond vroulike vegter ter wêreld, Cecilia Braekhus, Reis kyk terug huis toe, terug na New England en het haar volle krygsgees by die Mohegan Sun uitgestal.

 

 

 

As sy kommentaar lewer oor haar komende geveg, Reis het dit te sê gehad, “Aanhangers kan verwag om 'n nog meer vasberade te sien, geskoolde, honger, ontwikkelende WARRIOR daarbinne! Die geveg op HBO met Braekhus was so 'n leerervaring en ek is dankbaar dat ek nie net geskiedenis gemaak het nie, maar ook oor my eie persoonlike reis.”

 

 

 

Die laaste keer dat Reis by Mohegan Sun geveg het, was in November verlede jaar. Sy is opgewonde om hierdie tuiskoms te maak.

 

 

 

“Ek is opgewonde om terug by die huis te wees’ by Mohegan Sun 30 Junie,” sê die inwoner van Rhode Island. “Star Boxing het altyd aksiebelaaide gevegte wat hierdie pragtige gebied verlig. My aanhangers hou daarvan om na Mohegan Sun te kom. Daar is nie 'n slegte sitplek in die huis nie en hul gasvryheid is fantasties. Joe DeGuardia hou my baie produktief sedert ons in November met hom onderteken het. Ek is so bly oor die besluit wat ek en bestuurder Brian geneem het om by hulle te onderteken.”

 

 

 

Nog 'n plaaslike vegter op die kaart om te kyk, is Anthony Laureano. Laureano het die bynaam gekry “Aksie” vir sy meedoënlose, vorentoe vegstyl. As die boorling van East Hartford in die ring is, aanhangers kan altyd 'n opwindende vertoning van begin tot einde verwag. Star Box's “Slugfest by die son” bring altyd vuurwerke na Connecticut, en Laureano wil die tradisie voortsit met sy tuiskoms by Mohegan Sun.

 

 

 

Laureano is gevra wat hy aan die ondersteuners by Mohegan Sun sal bied, en sy reaksie was eenvoudig, “Dieselfde ding wat hulle altyd sien, aksie. Aksie, dit is dit. Die mense kom om geld te betaal en hulle gaan kry waarvoor hulle betaal het. Selfs in my laaste geveg, mense het gekry waarvoor hulle betaal het. Hulle het aksie kom sien en iemand na vore kom kom. Hulle wil niemand sien ronddans nie. Ek sê nie dat die styl sleg is nie, Ek kan dit ook doen, maar mense hou van twee ouens wat na vore kom en wil baklei. Ek is daardie vegter. Ek is die vegter wat altyd wil veg.”

 

 

 

Hierdie wedstryd teen Rodriguez is die derde keer in sy loopbaan dat Laureano by Mohegan Sun veg.

 

 

 

By navraag oor die lokaal, dit is wat Laureano te sê gehad het, “Ek is lief vir Mohegan…Mohegan is my tuiste. Daar is geen plek soos dit nie. Ek is mal oor die ring, alles is net so mooi. Die atmosfeer, die skare, my tuisdorp is daar, en as hulle daar is, is dit hard…Mohegan is my tuiste, geen twyfel. Die casino behandel my goed, en as ek daarheen gaan, voel ek dat dit is waar ek hoort. Ek het dit nog nooit elders gevoel nie.

 

 

 

In die belangrikste gebeurtenis van “SLUGFEST by die SON” op 30 Junie, JOE SMITH JR. sal sy lang verwagte terugkeer na die ring teen die moeilike Kentuckian maak, MELVIN RUSSELL. Na elf maande uit die ring as gevolg van 'n gebreekte kakebeen, die “Gewone mens”, Union Local 66 arbeider, Joe Smith Jr. keer terug by die pragtige Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. Na 'n uitstekende KO -oorwinning op NBC teen Andrzej Fonfara, en die legende uitslaan, Bernard Hopkins, uit die ring verwyder, op HBO, Smith Jr. het sy oë daarop gerig om 'n wêreldtitel te wen. Smith Jr. word tans gegradeer #3 (WBC) en #7 (WBA) in die wêreld.

Anthony “Aksie” Laureano

7-0 (3)

Ouderdom 23

Oos-Hartford, CT

140 lbs/Junior Welterweight

2016 Western New England and New England Golden Gloves 152 pound champion

2016 National Golden Gloves Semi-Finalist

Trainer: Angel Gonzalez

Bestuurder: Nate Torres

Promotor: Joe DeGuardia/Star Boxing

 

 

 

Anthony Laureano is a 23 year old rising prospect in the boxing game today. An extremely hard working and focused young man, Laureano is a throwback type of fighter. He put the hard work in each and every day, strives to learn the finer points of the game and approaches each fight like a Do Or Die event.

 

 

 

Thus far Anthony and his team have chosen a unique path to success in the boxing world. They have not shied away from tough competition thus far and, in die feit dat, have had to dig down and overcome several very stiff challenges from eager opposition. Laureano’s last two opponents in particular, Tobias Green (7-1) and John Hernandez (8-2), both provided extremely tough challenges in bouts that forced “Aksie” Anthony to dig down to places that most up and comers simply aren’t forced to go until quite a bit later in their careers.

 

 

 

Both performances drew rave reviews from fans and media alike and compelled me to conduct this interview with one of the best professional prospects the Hartford-area has seen in many years.

 

 

 

Humble, clean living, fearless, hard-working and as fan friendly and approachable as they come, onoorwonne (7-0) Anthony Laureano is definitely one to root for.

 

 

 

The following is a 10 question interview in advance of his June 30 bout at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut against Juan Rodriguez (8-9-1) of Haymarket, Virginia on Star Boxing show that features contender Joe Smith Jr. in the main event against Melvin Russel in a light heavyweight match up.

 

“10 Questions With “Aksie” Anthony Laureano”

 

 

 

QUESTION 1. How did you originally get started as a boxer?

 

 

LAUREANO: My father put me in boxing. He wanted us to stay active and in shape. I originally started boxing at age 8 met (former lightweight contender) Pito Cardona. We used to follow him everywhere he went to teach us some techniques. I started competing at age 11 of 12 in a garage. Where the ropes were sheet rock walls. The ring floor was a rug and in the winter time you’d better bundle up. I would go to the gym in all types of weather. Snow, rain and heat waves. I didn’t care, I would just go on my bike. Right after school I would get my big bag ready and get my bike ready to ride.

 

 

QUESTION 2. What are your goals as a fighter? What do you want to do in this game?

 

 

LAUREANO: My goal as a fighter is to become champion of the world. It would be an achievement that I could share with the people. In this game I want to show that no matter how hard it is at first you still can accomplish big things. With hard work, dedication and will power anything is possible. I want to put God first. I want to give people hope.

 

 

QUESTION 3. In your opinion what was the highlight of your amateur boxing career?

 

 

LAUREANO: The highlight of my amateur career was my first fight with my trainer Angel Gonzales. This fight changed everything. I felt had the talent, but I was coming from a back to back losing streak. This fight was a close one. I was just getting ready to lose because when it was close I never got the decision. Angel yelled at me “What;s wrong with you? You don’t do this in sparring. You better show me something!!!” I went out that round and gave the kid two standing 8 counts in the 3rd round. This fight was the turning point of my career. This made everything possible.

QUESTION 4: So far you’ve faced several tough opponents for someone with only a few fights yourself under your belt. And as long as I have known you its been very obvious that you are not shy about stepping in with the tougher competition. Where do you think that comes from? Where did you develop this mindset?

 

LAUREANO: The reason that I’m not shy about taking on competition is because I have faith God. I failed a lot in the amateurs so I know what it is to lose. Every time I lost one of my amateur fights I went right back at it the next day. Natuurlik, I felt like I shouldn’t be in the gym. I even felt embarrassed to go to the gym. I wanted to be something in the sport of boxing, al, so I didn’t care what other people thought. The reason I’m willing to take on better competition is to prove to myself and get better as a fighter.

 

QUESTION 5: How did you begin working with your trainer, (1986 Goue handskoene in New England 106 pound champion) Angel Gonzalez, and what is the training like?

 

LAUREANO: Angel Gonzalez was always around me. He would do little group exercises and I’d jump in sometimes. I eventually got to work with him when I was looking for a new trainer. I even thought about doing Muay Thai, but I still had a love for boxing. So I went back to boxing and started training with Angel. Angel gave me discipline in the sport and that was something I needed. After my first pro fight, Angel spoke to Nate Torres and ask him to help him train me. Nate accepted and now is my manager and co-trainer. The professional game is different and we must continue to improve my skill set in order to continue my success as a professional boxer.

 

I have a great team now. Truly blessed!

 

 

 

QUESTION 6: Were u a boxing fan growing up or are you one now? Who did you grow up watching in the sport and who are your favorite boxers?

 

 

 

LAUREANO: My favorite boxers of course are the fighters who take risk and keep coming forward. I look up to Mickey Ward and Arturo Gatti wars. Growing up I just really loved doing boxing. It’s really an art form. There is Lomachenko, he shows that it’s sometimes just a master in his angles. I see fights of his to learn new things that I like. Adrian Boner when he is on his game boxing is really nice to see. Natuurlik, people really down play him but, if you take all the drama and leave it to the side, he is really something to see when he has it together.

 

 

 

QUESTION 7. Do you have anyone in the sport who you try and emulate as a fighter? What boxers influenced your style as a professional fighter?

 

 

 

LAUREANO: My style is like Ward and Gatti in terms of heart and will to win. My trainers say my style resembles Miguel Cotto at 140. Similar left hook to body and boxing style. Miguel is a warrior with no quit in him and I’d like for people to see that in me, ook..

 

 

 

I also really like Mikey Garcia today because he is a complete fighter. He takes on big challenges. Can adjust to any situation. He has such good speed and power. Even after a two year layoff he still came back so strong.

 

QUESTION 8. What is the best thing about being a professional boxer?

 

 

 

LAUREANO: For me the best thing about being a pro is I’m doing what I love. Using the gifts that God gave me to honor him. Also the opportunity it creates to provide a better life for my family.

 

 

 

Vraag 9: So far what has been the toughest part of being a professional fighter for you?

 

LAUREANO: I would say the toughest part about being a professional fighter is just managing life and training. Right now I’m in the come up. So it’s tough I would love to work but, then I would lack in training. It’s managing the people around you some support and some don’t. So you really just got to stay with positive people that support. Your mindset is everything so if your failing to manage your emotions it will hit hard when you got a fight coming up.

 

 

 

QUESTION 10. At this point in your career you are still working your way up, fighting on undercards in preliminary bouts. Spots often open up on these smaller cards on short notice. How long would you need to get ready for a fight if called for one?

 

 

 

LAUREANO: I’m always ready for a fight because I don’t take any time off from the gym. I do my cardio at a fitness club then I do my boxing later on in the day. Always.

“The wait in the dressing room before a professional boxing match -that last hour- could be enough to strip a man who never fought before of whatever pride, desire, heart or courage he thought he had.” – Iceman John Scully, April 2002
