HUMBERTO VELAZCO IN TROUBLE WITH GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO FOR PULLING OUT OF FIGHT

Aguascalientes, MX (April 30, 2018) – Super middleweight prospect, Humberto “Tito” Velazco (19-1-1, 13 Kos), who is promoted by socker Promotions, is taking heat from the Government of Mexico for pulling out of his scheduled fight with Devis Caceres (24-8, 19 Kos), that was supposed to take place this past Saturday in Aguascalientes, MX.

 

 

 

Velazco was set to face Devis Caceres (24-8, 19 Kos) for the vacant WBC Silver Super Middleweight Title at the Feria de Campeonescard promoted by Sugar Promotions, but pulled out at the last minute, putting the entire card in jeopardy.

 

 

 

We have programs here in Mexico that are funded by the government of Mexico in Aguascalientes,” sa Dr. Lorenzo Soboranes Maya, director of Latino public relations for Sugar Promotions in Mexico. “One of which was this weekend’sFeria de Campeonesboxing event that took place at the Plaza de Toros San Marcos arena. After signing the contract, Velazco pulled out of the fight, leaving everyone involved scrambling for a replacement. This kind of conduct will not be tolerated, and legal action will be addressed. Velazco will be prosecuted by the full extent of the law, and he is not welcome to fight in this city ever again.

 

 

 

As Velazco’s promoter, I did everything on my end to get him a shot at the vacant WBC Silver Super Middleweight Title,” sa Oscar Vazquez, CEO of Sugar Promotions. “We came to an agreement on what his purse would be, he signed the contract, and then pulled out of the fight in the final days leading up to the fight. I have Velazco under contract. If Velazco thinks he’s going to fight with another promoter, that promoter better think twice, as I have my lawyers ready to file a lawsuit with anyone trying to promote him.

FRISCO, TX (April 30, 2018) – Undefeated welterweight champion Errol “Sanningen” Spence Jr. will defend his IBF world title in a Dallas homecoming Saturday, June 16live on SHOWTIME at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco against unbeaten mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo i ett evenemang som presenteras av Premier Boxing Champions. It will be the first boxing event inside Ford Center and Spence’s first hometown fight as world champion.

 

 

 

Spence, who will attempt to make the second defense of the world title he won last May from Kell Brook, combines explosive power with sublime boxing skill. In his last four fights, Spence has begun to assert himself as the best boxer in the deep and talented 147-pound weight division. Idag, Spence is rated in the top-10 on boxing’s coveted pound-for-pound list. Ocampo, who had a highly rated amateur career in Mexico, is also undefeated but will be facing his toughest challenge to date as a professional in his first world title fight.

 

 

 

Biljetter till evenemanget, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Man Down Promotions, go on sale Friday, Maj 4 vid 10 a.m. CT and can be purchased at www.SeatGeek.com.

 

 

 

“Errol Spence, Jr. has emerged as one of the most exciting champions in the sport today with a combination of skills that he has crafted into a fan-friendly style,” sa Tom Brown, VD för TGB Promotions. “This is an opportunity for Errol to defend his title before the fans in his hometown at Ford Center at The Star and to continue to demonstrate why he is the top man in the 147-pound division. Carlos Ocampo, a young hungry contender, will certainly bring his A-game and that will bring out the best in Errol. It promises to be an entertaining show for boxing fans.

 

 

 

SHOWTIME has become home to the biggest stars in boxing and Errol Spence is one of its brightest,” säger Stephen Espinoza, President, Sports and Event Programming for SHOWTIME. “Spence made an emphatic statement one year ago when he traveled to Sheffield, England to wrest the title from the champion on his home turf. Nu, a young and talented Carlos Ocampo has an opportunity to do the same. We are proud to team up with the Dallas Cowboys, Ford Center, TGB Promotions and Premier Boxing Champions to deliver yet another of boxing’s must-see, marquee events.

 

 

 

It’s known how energetic and exciting the sport of boxing is, but to be able to host IBF World Champion Errol Spence Jr. here at The Star to represent our city, and his home town, will be an unforgettable experience for all,” said Dallas Cowboys Chief Operating Officer Stephen Jones.

 

 

 

Spence (23-0, 20 Kos) returned home with the welterweight title last May after defeating champion Kell Brook in Brook’s hometown of Sheffield, England. The 28-year-old southpaw from Desoto, Texas made his first defense against former two-division champion Lamont Peterson, stopping him via seventh round technical knockout on Jan. 20 i Brooklyn.

 

 

 

EN 2012 US. Olympian at the London Games, Spence has knocked out 10 straight opponents to climb the ranks of the division. In the wake of Floyd Mayweather’s retirement from boxing, four of the top-five ranked welterweights-Danny Garcia of Philadelphia, Shawn Porter of Las Vegas, Keith Thurman of Clearwater, Fla., and Spence-are all vying for the top spot in one of history’s most popular weight classes.

 

 

 

I’m honored to be fighting in Dallas before my hometown fans and the people who have supported me from the beginning,” said Spence, who last fought in Dallas in 2015, a knockout victory over Alejandro Barrera. “This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. It’s going to be great to fight at The Star, and because I’m a big Dallas Cowboys fan, I’m looking forward to fighting on the campus of Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters.

 

 

 

I believe that I’m the number one fighter in the welterweight division and I’ll step into the ring on June 16 with that feeling. I’m going to draw from the energy of my fans. I’ve studied some of Ocampo and I can tell he likes to box but he’s willing to get into a fight. I know how he feels going into someone else’s hometown for his first shot at the title. This is his big opportunity and it’s going to make this a great event.

 

 

 

The 22-year-old Ocampo (22-0, 13 Kos) will be taking a major step forward in his career with this mandatory title challenge against Spence. Ocampo, of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico will be making his U.S. debut and fighting professionally outside of Mexico for the first time. Ocampo is a two-time silver medalist at the Mexican Olympiad, an amateur national championship tournament. His holds significant professional victories over former world title challengers Jorge Paez, Jr. and Charlie Navarro while he most recently scored a seventh round stoppage of Dario Ferman in November.

 

 

 

I’m training very hard for my fight against Errol Spence Jr.,said Ocampo. “This is the opportunity that I’ve worked my whole life to get and I’m coming to take Spence’s belt on June 16. I will give the fans a very exciting fight and show once again what Mexican fighters are made of.

LAS VEGAS (April 30, 2018) – Badou Jack is having the time of his life. After formally announcing his May 19th world title fight against Adonis Stevenson in Toronto last week, the two-division world champion made headlines Thursday with the launch of his new nutrition supplement line entitledRipper Nutrition.The special launch event was held at the American Nutritional Corporation complex in Las Vegas, where Ripper Nutrition was formulated, tested and made.

 

 

 

“Detta är en dröm som går i uppfyllelse för mig,” sade Jack. “I have wanted to start my own nutrition line for a while now, but I only wanted to do it if I knew it was going to be clean and safe. I know boxing doesn’t last forever, so it was important for me to create a business that can provide for my family for years and years to come.

 

 

 

The two products, OXY Ripper and AMINO Ripper, combine Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) with LUNASIN, a powerful antioxidant that clinical studies have shown reduce inflammation, support heart health and boost the immune system. Dessutom, Ripper Nutrition is Informed Sport Certified, the global gold standard testing certification for banned substance assurance.

Now it is known as ‘Ripper Nutrition’.

 

 

 

Badou Jack raises the bar,” continued Abdallah. “He is genuine, down to earth and doesn’t settle for the norm. Inside the ring, he has captured world titles in two different weight classes and he doesn’t shy away from the biggest fights. Utanför ringen, he doesn’t want the limelight, but he still strives for excellence. That is why we partnered together on this venture and perfected a product that a champion can use and be proud of.

 

 

 

Jack was joined by several Ripper Nutritionambassadorsthat believe in the product including former world champion Jessie Vargas, Mayweather Promotions fighters Lanell Bellows and Ashley Theophane as well as UFC star Kevin Lee. He was also supported by his entire family including his newborn son Malik.

Koteys “Mardröm” i händerna på Decastro – Pugh och Hughes Reign Supreme på Pride Park

Rapport från Ringside: Gianluca Di Caro

 

 

 

Pride Park i Derby är kanske mest känd som hemmaplan för Derby County FC, men efter lördagskvällen kan det vara lika känt som Boxing in the Citys nya hem.

 

 

 

Den lokala arrangören Dan Gray och hans team gjorde verkligen allt för att arrangera ett internationellt evenemang av högsta klass, Dan Grays andra på den fantastiska arenan, som utklassade de allra flesta av de största tv-evenemangen i landet, inte bara när det gäller marknadsföringens kvalitet utan också när det gäller matchning.

 

 

 

Hur uppfriskande det var att vara ringside vid ett evenemang där varje match var så jämnt matchad att du verkligen inte visste vem som skulle gå ut som segrare.

 

 

 

Det här var boxning som det borde vara och jag älskade varje sekund av det, som jag är ganska säker på så gjorde varje enskild person som deltog, och så gott som alla var på fötter och högljutt visade sitt stöd för kämparna under varje match kan jag säga det med viss tillförsikt.

 

 

 

Hur som helst nog med min svammel, låt oss gå till slagsmålen själva, i omvänd ordning.

 

 

Local Prospect Ross Doherty ledde showen, mot lettlands Grigorijs Dunecs i en åtta ronders welterviktstävling.

 

 

 

Dunecs är lång för en Welter, med en allvarligt lång räckvidd, som han till en början kunde använda med god effekt för att hålla sin kortare motståndare Doherty borta i ungefär den första minuten av den första omgången, Doherty har dock en påslagen boxningshjärna och anpassade snart sin taktik för att komma runt denna stora nackdel.

 

 

 

Sensationell och smart boxning från den lokala pojken ser honom snart få ett sken av kontroll över matchen till hans fördel, främst inriktat på kroppen med enstaka skott och att komma utanför räckhåll innan Dunecs kunde kontra med effekt.

 

 

 

Mer av samma i början av andra, Dohertys självförtroende växte dock snart till en nivå där han kunde glida under det imponerande stöten från letten och släppa loss med skarpa dubbelhänta kombinationer, innan du glider tillbaka utanför räckhåll.

 

 

 

Missförstå mig inte, det var inte bara enkelriktad trafik, långt ifrån det eftersom Dunecs hade många framgångar med att landa sina skott också, bara Dohertys smarta rörelse och rena mod att komma in för att landa hans var mäktigt imponerande.

 

 

 

Mer av samma i nästa par rundor, riktigt bra, högteknisk boxning från båda huvudpersonerna, men den femte visade sig vara en stor vändpunkt, när Doherty grävde djupt och bytte taktik igen, verkar komma in för ytterligare en kroppsattack, men i sista mikrosekund byter man till ett looping skott mot huvudet.

 

 

 

Dunecs, tog snart tag i den nya taktiken och neutraliserade i princip detta mycket effektiva drag. Men Doherty grävde bara djupt i sitt välfyllda skåp och gjorde ännu ett smart drag.

 

 

 

När kampen gick in i de sista omgångarna bjöds fansens ringside på några goda gammaldags slug outs.

 

 

 

Den sista omgången var en cracker, väl hela kampen var, men den sista omgången kapslade in smaken av tävlingen bäst, båda fighters kastade försiktighet i vinden och gick verkligen för det – det var hisnande att titta på.

 

 

 

Efter åtta fantastiska tätt kämpade omgångar av boxning Domaren Rob Jones’ styrkort läs 80-72 till förmån för Ross Doherty, även om det är helt rätt poäng, det återspeglade bara inte hur nära de allra flesta omgångarna var.

 

 

 

Före den utmärkta Doherty-Dunecs-kampen var en strid mellan två Pro-debutanter, Storbritanniens Emily Pugh mot lettiska Jelizaveta Cerkasova.

 

 

 

Vilken kamp, det var fantastiskt och jag vet att innan jag ens börjar skriva kommer jag inte att kunna beskriva hur bra den här kampen var, men jag ska göra mitt bästa.

 

 

 

Redan från öppningsklockan gick båda tjejerna framåt och möttes i mittringen och bytte bra starka stötar och så började en mycket teknisk schackmatch av en kamp, där båda huvudpersonerna visade de utmärkta kampfärdigheterna i sina respektive skåp i ett försök att skjuta ut den andra.

 

 

 

Under fyra sensationella omgångar visade Pugh och Cerkasova upp sina respektive, färdigheter till stor glädje för alla ringside. Det var en mästarklass, men inte i ordets normala bemärkelse, hur vi använder det i boxning, varvid en boxare gav en mästarklass till sin motståndare, Jag menar att det var en riktig mästerklass i boxning, det var fängslande att se och när det gäller att döma skulle jag tro att domaren Rob Jones aldrig har haft en bättre kamp att döma, han kunde ha kommit och suttit vid ringsidan och tittat på, han hade så lite att göra, annat än att ta en tittande kort.

 

 

 

Efter fyra helt underbara, spännande omgångar av boxning Domaren Rob Jones gjorde mål 40-36 till förmån för Emily Pugh, och som med Doherty-Dunecs-poängen var det hundra procent korrekt, men återigen representerar det bara inte hur oerhört tätt tävlingen var..

 

 

 

Innan min Fight of the Night-vinnare, Pugh vs. Cerkasova, var den mycket efterlängtade och efterlängtade supermellanviktstävlingen mellan Bardley, Lincolnshires egen obesegrade och IBF-rankade Super Star Nathan “Mardrömmen” Decastro och Philip “Luktärt” Kotey.

 

 

 

Två gånger tidigare hade denna kamp matchats, men skada och sjukdom hindrade Kotey att ta sig in i ringen på fight night, skulle detta vara tredje gången gillt, du kan satsa din botten dollar på det och boy oh boy var det värt det, speciellt som på lördagen var det en titel på gång, professionella boxningsrådet (PBC) Internationell, för att sätta krydda på förfarandet.

 

 

 

Direkt från off Decastro drivs till centerring och låt riva med en enorm höger, liknande den han skickade Chris Eubanks Jnr. till duken med när de mötte varandra i amatörerna, Men i det här fallet lyckades Kotey på något sätt hålla sig på benen och fortsatte att täcka upp, som en röd flagga till en tjur som just vinkade Decastro att straffa sin motståndare med enorma vänster- och höger.

 

 

 

Decastro fortsatte att kasta skott, tvingade tillbaka Kotey på repen och sedan började fyrverkeriet verkligen flyga. Kotey svarar med elaka korta krokar mot huvudet följt av uppercuts på nära håll, medan Decastro bara fortsatte att släppa med stora tunga krokar till huvudet och kroppen.

 

 

 

Under praktiskt taget hela resten av omgången kunde denna kamp ha ägt rum i en telefonbox, men tänk inte på att det betyder att det hände lite eftersom de var för nära, åh nej inget sånt det var allt action, Jag tappade räkningen på antalet skott som båda fighters kastade, de bara regnade ner.

 

 

 

Mer av samma i den andra, även om Kotey ett par gånger hade lyckats frigöra sig och utnyttja riktigt bra starka stötar, Men Decastro gick bara igenom dem samtidigt som han kastade stora vänster och höger till kroppen igen för att korallera ghananen tillbaka på repen eller ett hörn.

 

 

 

Alldeles i slutet av omgången låter Kotey riva med en enorm uppercut, Decastro lyckades precis glida tillbaka tillräckligt för att den skulle susa förbi hans haka innan han lät riva med en enorm höger mot huvudet bokstavligen när klockan för att avsluta den andra omgången ringde.

 

 

 

Kotey stannade i hörnet, uppenbart bedrövad, innan han kollapsade till duken där han började vrida sig av smärta, Domaren Rob Jones kallade omedelbart in läkaren och paramedikerna i ringen och viftade av kampen.

 

 

 

Den massiva uppercut var förmodligen orsaken till Koteys nöd, som senare uppgavs vara en skadad rotormanschett.

 

 

 

Den tuffe ghananen bestämde sig för att han fortfarande skulle vara närvarande för Championship Belt-presentationen för Decastro, även om den fortfarande har extrem smärta, fortsatte att stå mitt på domaren när resultatet tillkännagavs och tog sig till och med tid att gratulera Decastro för segern innan han gick tillbaka till läkarrummet för vidare behandling.

 

 

 

Nattens inledande professionella kamp var en kamp mellan kelterna, med Derbybaserade skotten Kane Corvus som gör sin debut mot walesaren Steffan Hughes i en fyra rundor Cruiserweight-tävling.

 

 

 

Kampen startade ett frenetiskt tempo, Corvus studsar in, låta slita, innan du studsar ut igen, efter ungefär tjugo sekunder eller så ropade promotor Dan Gray ut till Corvus “sakta ner, plantera dina fötter”, den store skotten följde omedelbart och fortsatte med ett mycket mer kontrollerat förhållningssätt till verksamheten, så mycket att han säkrade omgången med stil.

 

 

 

Omgång två ser Corvus boxas snyggt från framfoten, men också se Hughes komma mer in i kampen. Det blev en del knäckande utbyten, en sådan cirka tre fjärdedelar in, se Corvus landa en stor vänster och när han lutade sig tillbaka dit han trodde att han skulle vara utanför räckhåll, Hughes tog ett litet steg framåt och landade en mycket bra rak höger som skickade skotten till duken.

 

 

 

Corvus var rakt upp på benen och när domaren Rob Jones hade avslutat räkningen och instruerat dem att boxas vidare, Corvus gick framåt och landade ytterligare ett bra starkt skott, bara för Hughes att kontra lika effektivt precis som klockan för att avsluta rundan ringde.

 

 

 

Corvus verkade nu vara mer fast och boxad effektivt, Hughes verkade nöja sig med att ta till sig skotten och kontra ibland.

 

 

 

Allt eftersom omgången fortskred blev det några riktigt trevliga utbyten, från det blå kastade Hughes en persika av ett skott till Corvus’ kropp, som skickade den store skotten till duken för andra gången. Återigen gjorde Corvus räkningen och gjorde även ett stort intryck sent i omgången när han landade ett sprakande kroppsskott, som saktade Hughes men inte skickade ner honom.

 

 

 

När han gick in i den fjärde och sista omgången fick Corvus höra av sin hörna att han i bästa fall för att få oavgjort skulle behöva släppa Hughes och visst är ägg ägg, han fortsatte med att göra sitt bästa under hela omgången för att göra just det, Men Hughes är lika kunnig som de kommer och kom precis bakom sitt skott för att hålla den plundrande skotten på avstånd.

 

 

 

Efter fyra omgångar av underhållande boxning gjorde domaren Rob Jones mål 38-37 till förmån för Stefan Hughes.

 

 

 

Till stöd för de fyra proffstävlingarna var inte mindre än åtta osanktionerade slagsmål, höjdpunkten av dessa var tävlingen med Megan Mousley, mot seriöst tuffa Cheryl Swarbrick. Mousley, som kämpade med klass och panache kom igenom med råge.

 

 

 

Efter denna match meddelade promotor Dan Gray att detta var Mousleys sista kamp, på den osanktionerade amatörkretsen, eftersom hon håller på att bli professionell och kommer att göra sin proffsdebut på Dans nästa show i augusti. Utan tvekan kommer hon att göra ett mycket välkommet tillskott till proffsleden.

STEG, TX. (April 28, 2018) – Rugged veteran contender Josesito Lopez (36-7, 19 Kos) won a unanimous decision over Miguel Cruz (17-1, 11 Kos)in a welterweight attraction that headlined Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes Saturday night from Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas.

 

 

 

 

I beat a great undefeated fighter tonight and I was able to out class him,” Said Lopez. “I have some boxing ability clearly. I used my skills tonight. I felt that I dominated the pace, out worked him and I never let him do anything that hurt me.

 

 

 

 

Josesito was stronger than I thought,” said Cruz. “I took a little too long to get off and get going and it cost me.

 

 

 

 

The action began to heat up in round three as Lopez broke through and began landing flush on Cruz to the head. Lopez controlled the action against Cruz on the ropes and when the real estate shifted to the middle of the ring.

 

 

 

 

Kors, who stated before the fight that attacking the body would be key, was twice deducted points by referee Rafael Ramos for low blows, once in round five and again in round six. This forced Cruz to abandon his predominant strategy.

 

 

 

 

I didn’t agree with the calls on the low blows,” said Cruz. “I didn’t get a chance to work the body like I wanted. That was the plan coming in. They took it away from me.

 

 

 

 

This is just another step in my journey. I didn’t get hurt or anything. I just need to get better in the gym and keep working combinations. I just have to get better.

 

 

 

 

Under the guidance of renowned trainer Robert Garcia, Lopez boxed effectively and worked through the body attack and low blows to consistently win rounds and keep Cruz’s offense mostly at bay. Efter 10 rundor, judges ruled in favor of Lopez by scores of 98-90 och 99-89 två gånger.

 

 

 

 

I think the biggest difference has been Robert Garcia in my corner,” Said Lopez. “He has me living a healthier lifestyle and that played a big part in my victory. I have an elite trainer who is training me like an elite fighter. I was one step behind in the past, but now I think I’ve made up that distance and then some.

 

 

 

 

Welterweight has a lot of good fighters, but I know I can compete with them. I’m a fan-friendly fighter who’s always going to leave it all in the ring.

 

 

 

 

The co-main event saw former world champion Anthony Dirrell (32-1, 24 Kos) drop El Paso’s Abraham Han (26-4, 16 Kos) on his way to a unanimous decision in their 10-round super middleweight contest.

 

 

 

 

 

I thought I did well tonight boxing him for 10 rundor,” Said Dirrell. “I didn’t think I lost a round. Two of the judges thought so but I can’t do anything about that. Jag gjorde vad jag skulle göra.

 

 

 

 

Han has an incredible chin. He took everything I gave him. I even went to the body and gave it to him there. I was trying to go the body until the end but he still stood up. All I could do was keep pressuring him and get the victory.

 

 

 

 

Greeted by a chorus of boos upon entering the ring, Dirrell sent the hometown fighter to the canvas with a right hand to the head late in round one as the bell rang. Han tried to use his movement, switching stances and tying Dirrell up to frustrate his opponent, and had some success as the two men wrestled each other to the canvas in the waning moments of round four and continued to push and shove on the ground until they were broken up by referee Laurence and sent to their corners.

 

 

 

 

Han was able to occasionally land clean punches, but nothing that ever disrupted the attack from Dirrell, who was too consistent and sharp with his power punches. Han believed that his lack of an effective jab hurt him in this fight.

 

 

 

 

I wasn’t happy with my performance,” said Han. “I couldn’t get my jab going at all. If I had been more effective with that I think I would have been able to win more rounds.

 

 

 

 

Efter 10 rounds of action, all three judges score the bout in favor of Dirrell by scores of 100-89 och 99-90 två gånger. Dirrell, a former titleholder at 168-pounds vowed that he plans to fight one more time, for a world title.

 

 

 

 

The champions at 168-pounds better look out,” Said Dirrell. “It’s going to be my last fight but I’m hungry to win another title.

 

 

 

 

The opening bout of the telecast saw exciting featherweight contender Claudio Marrero (23-2, 16 Kos) deliver a stunning one punch knockout of Jorge Lara (29-1-2, 21 Kos) in the first round of their featherweight bout.

 

 

 

 

I knew he would be aggressive and we worked very hard in training camp to achieve this,” said Marrero. “I saw my opportunity and I knew that it was over once I connected.

 

 

 

I just got caught with a great punch,” Said Lara. “I wanted to be aggressive and give the fans a great show. It didn’t go my way. I’ll be back and I’ll be better. I’m going to get back to work and keep pushing toward my goals.

 

 

 

Lara charged forward in the opening seconds, but was caught by a perfect left hook from Marrero during one of the early exchanges in the fight and was sent to the canvas. While he tried to get to his feet, he was clearly hurt as referee Rocky Burke halted the bout 33 seconds into the opening round.

 

 

 

 

This was a message to the whole division,” said Marrero. “I’m a championship-caliber fighter and I showed it again tonight. I’m ready to take on every champion out there. I want the best challenges and I proved tonight that I’m able to beat anyone. I have all the skills and I can’t wait to show them off against the best.

“Lil Pacquiao” Resendiz added to June 16 card in St Petersburg, FL

St. Petersburg, FL (April 26, 2018) – Featherweight Jose “Lil’ Pacquiao” Resendiz will face Vincent Jennings in a six round contest as part of Fire Fist Boxing Promotions’ June 16 card at The Coliseum in St. Petersburg.

 

 

 

Biljetter finns till försäljning nu på https://www1.ticketmaster.com/event/0D00548D9F1C967E.

 

 

 

With a physical and stylistic resemblance to boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, Resendiz built a strong fan base and rewards supporters with an all-action style. Originally from Mexico but now fighting out of St. Petersburg, Resendiz is 5-1 med 3 knockouts. He owns impressive wins over Mohamed El Marcouchi (2-0) och Raul Chirino (7-1), mercifully stopping the latter in a brilliant performance.

 

 

 

His lone defeat came under extremely seedy circumstances and many argue he should’ve won by disqualification. In that contest, Resendiz badly hurt unbeaten Joshua Pagan with a body shot in the final minute of the bout and looked for the knockout. A fan literally jumped onto the ring apron and took a swing at Resendiz’ head, forcing the referee to stop the fight and restore order. This also allowed Pagan unexpected time to recover and he ultimately claimed a split decision victory.

 

 

 

Hailing from Grand Rapids, MITT, Jennings is 5-5-1 med 4 KO: s. The 33-year-old has been matched extremely tough, facing four consecutive unbeaten opponents in their backyard. Jennings dropped multiple controversial decisions and has a win over contender Dennis Galarza.

 

 

 

“I’m very excited to have Jose on the card,” said Jody Caliguire of Fire Fist Boxing Promotions. “He really does fight a lot like Manny Pacquiao and fans love that style but he’ll have his hands full with a very gritty opponent in Vincent Jennings who has already shown his willingness to fight anybody, anywhere at any time.”

 

 

 

This excellent evening of boxing features eight bouts, headlined by an exciting 10 round NBA middleweight showdown between 7-0 Irish sensation Connor “The Kid” Coyle and Orlando, FL’s Danny Pastrana. Tampa cruiserweight Nicholas “Showstopper” Iannuzzi, 19-4 (11 KO: s), meets Puerto Rican Vincent Miranda, 17-2 (9 KO: s), in the eight round co-feature.

 

 

 

Crowd favorites Ricky “Cowboy” Tomlinson, Ali Tarah, Joseph Fernandez, Kendrick Thomas and Rodriguez Cade will all appear in

separate undercard bouts.

 

 

 

All fights are pending Florida State Athletic Commission approval.

JOSESITO LOPEZ

 

 

 

I’m well prepared for this fight, I’ve had a great camp with Robert Garcia. I have a tough unbeaten opponent who’s really good. I just have to prove I’m better on Saturday night.

 

 

 

I’m so excited to be finally fighting in Texas and I’ve gotten so much love and support already from this city. I can’t wait to give these fans a show.

 

 

 

This is the kind of fight that I can really display my skills. I’m going to show everyone the same heart that I always do, combined with some skills that Robert Garcia has helped get.

 

 

 

I’m going to be prepared for anything on Saturday. Cruz is unbeaten and that brings its own kind of mentality. I know I have what it takes to conquer this challenge and fight the best in the division.

 

 

 

This is going to be a textbook Josesito Lopez performance. I’m going to fight my hardest from bell to bell and take this victory home with me.

 

MIGUEL CRUZ

 

 

 

El Paso has been great to me and I’ve really enjoyed my time here. I’m in this city to fight. I’m here to come and prove myself in this welterweight division.

 

 

 

I have respect for what Josesito’s done in the game, but at the end of the day, this is the premier division in boxing. I feel I’m one of the best guys at 147 and I’ll be here for a while. I’m going to be a force.

 

 

 

I know Josesito is bringing the fight and I promise you I’m bringing it as well. I will come out on top. This is a can’t miss fight for sure.

 

 

 

I have to be smart and execute my game plan round after round. My jab will be key and if I can use that and wear him down to the body, I think I’ll have a great chance to stop him.

 

 

 

I know what it takes to win at this level now. I’ve gotten better each fight and I think my time is now. People are going to know my name after Saturday night.

 

ANTHONY DIRRELL

 

 

 

I plan on going in there and getting the victory. I know Han is a great fighter who will bring the best out of me. That’s what I need right now.

 

 

 

Come Saturday it’s going to be just another fight for me. I take everybody seriously. I know that anything can happen in that ring. I prepared well for this fight and I’m ready to get the win.

 

 

 

Everyone knows that I’m a championship-caliber fighter and I’ll prove it again on Saturday. Efter denna kamp, I’m ready to take on any of the super middleweight champions. I’ll beat any of them.

 

 

 

I’m the best fighter that he’s ever going to fight and he will see that on Saturday. I’m going to leave no doubt.

 

ABRAHAM HAN

 

 

 

I’ve fought in many other people’s backyards so being able to fight here in my hometown is amazing. I turn it up to a different level here. The crowd will give me a big boost in energy and it’s going to help me get the win.

 

 

 

I hope the sports fans of El Paso come out and watch me put on a great performance. I know the type of challenge I have in front of me, but I also know that I have the skills to pull this off.

 

 

 

 

This is a great opportunity to show people outside of El Paso what kind of fighter I really am. I have a lot of experience and I’ve fought all over, but I don’t know if I’ve ever been more prepared for a fight.

 

 

 

Anthony Dirrell is a great champion but I’m a champion of this city. This is my chance to take down a big name and move to the next level of the sport.

 

JORGE LARA

 

 

 

I’m going to leave the ring Saturday night with my hand raised. I’ve had a wonderful training camp and I prepared perfectly for this fight. It will show on fight night.

 

 

 

Marrero better be ready, because I’m going to come at him and look for the kill early. I want to make a statement and I’ll go through him to make it.

 

 

 

I’m very focused and ready to take home this win on Saturday night. The fans are going to love my style and the heart that I fight with.

 

CLAUDIO Marrero

 

 

 

I hope that Jorge Lara is ready to fight on Saturday night. This is going to be a battle and I know that we’ll both leave everything in the ring.

 

 

 

I prepared well for this fight because I know that everything is on the line for me. I have to be victorious so I can go on and get where I want to in boxing.

 

 

 

I’m more skilled and more experienced than anyone that Lara has faced and on Saturday night I’m going to give him lots of problems.
