Miguel Cotto (40-5, 33 KOs) is a former WBC and Ring Magazine middleweight world champion and the first native of Puerto Rico to become world champion in four different weight classes. He previously held the WBO junior welterweight world title, the WBA welterweight world title, the WBO welterweight world title and the WBA super welterweight world title. He also represented Puerto Rico in the 2000 Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες στο Σίδνεϊ, Αυστραλία. Cotto has competed in 24 world championship fights, compiling a record of 19-5 με 16 knockouts in those bouts. In Puerto Rico, he is hailed as a national hero and the successor of Felix “Τίτο” Trinidad as the island’s most revered boxer. Cotto is one of the biggest gate attractions in boxing and one of the largest pay-per-view draws among active fighters. Τον Ιουνιο 2014, Cotto made history in his first fight as a middleweight by dominating Argentine southpaw and defending WBC and Ring Magazine Middleweight World Champion Sergio “Αναρωτιέμαι” Martinez. He is trained by legendary Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach and has fought some of the biggest names in the sport including Floyd “Χρήματα” Mayweather and Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao. Cotto owns his own boxing promotional company in Puerto Rico, Miguel Cotto Προσφορές, and presides over his charity La Fundación El Ángel de Miguel Cotto, a non-profit organization dedicated to combatting childhood obesity. Τον Μάρτιο 2015, Cotto and Roc Nation Sports announced that they had entered into a partnership that includes a co-promotional agreement with Miguel Cotto Promotions to promote Cotto’s fights. Τον Ιούνιο 6, 2015, Cotto defended his WBC, Ring Magazine and lineal middleweight world championships against former two-time World Champion Daniel Geale at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Cotto scored a thunderous knockdown early in the fourth round before finishing matters with a second knockdown midway through the round, which left Geale unable to continue. Τον Νοέμβριο του 21, 2015, Cotto cemented his status as one of the biggest pay-per-view draws among active fighters in his much anticipated mega-fight against Mexico’s Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, despite going the distance for a twelve-round unanimous decision loss. The hard-fought bout has been dubbed as the biggest fight in the history of the famed Puerto Rico vs. Mexico boxing rivalry. The Five-Time World Champion is eager to return to the ring against James Kirkland on Φεβρουάριος 25.
A Texas titan, representing the city of Austin, 32-year-old southpaw James “Mandingo Warrior” Kirkland (32-2, 28 KOs) has built his reputation with explosive power. His fists have accounted for 28 knockout victories over the course of his nearly 14-year professional career. A former NABO and WBC Continental Americas Champion, Kirkland bounced back from his lone defeat against Nobuhiro Ishida in 2011 with five consecutive wins, four coming by way of knockout. Kirkland has defeated Brian Vera, Alfredo “Perro” Angulo and Carlos “King” Molina and handed Glen “Jersey Boy” Tapia his first professional loss by way of a punishing sixth round technical knockout, prior to taking the stage for a 12-round super welterweight war with Saul “Canelo” Alvarez on May 9, 2015 at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Τέξας.

LAS VEGAS (Δεκέμβριος 17, 2016) – Tonight’s final round of the 2016 “Knockout Night at the D” series ended in typical style as “Mighty” Aston Palicte won a 10-round split decision over previously undefeated “Lil'” Oscar Cantu in a terrific super flyweight match from start to finish inside the Κέντρο Λας Βέγκας Events Center indoor facility.
Ο “Knockout Night at the D” σειρά, presented by το D Λας Βέγκαςand Down town Las Vegas Events Center, was promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions. This evening’s seventh and final “Knockout at the D” event in 2016 aired live on CBS Sports Network and streamed worldwide on FloBoxing.tv
The Palicte vs. Cantu main event, as expected, was a classic match-up of contrasting styles between a dangerous puncher (Palicte) and consummate boxer (Cantu). There was surprising non-stop action from the opening bell. Power punching Palicte (22-2, 18 KOs) pressed the action as the clear aggressor, but Cantu stood in the pocket, πάρα πολύ, as the technician used his defensive skills to make things difficult for his world rated Filipino opponent.
Τελικά, it all came down to the 10ου γύρος, which Palicte swept on all three judges’ scorecards for a hard-fought split decision victory by scores of 98-92, 96-94, 94-96. Palicte, Δεν έχει αξιολογηθεί. 11 από τη Διεθνή Ομοσπονδία Πυγμαχίας (IBF) και αριθ. 15 από τον Παγκόσμιο Οργανισμό Πυγμαχία (WBO), took Cantu’s North American Boxing Federation (NABF) title belt in addition to capturing the vacant WBO Inter-Continental strap.
Cantu, ο οποίος εκτίμησε το αριθ. 4 as a flyweight by the World Boxing Council (WBC), showed tremendous heart, granite chin and the ability to move extremely well, throwing punches from every conceivable angle. The difference, ωστόσο, proved to be Palicte’s slugging ability in this classic confrontation in which the puncher barely prevailed against the boxer.
Στο ομο-χαρακτηριστικό γνώρισμα, Jamaican junior middleweight Nathaniel “No Problem” Gallimore(16-1-1, 13 KOs) scored a spectacular first-round knockout of previously unbeaten Angelo “Bombardero” Baez (15-1-1, 11 KOs), the Chilean junior middleweight champion.
Gallimore hurt Baez midway through the opening round and then closed the show with vicious left to the liver that dropped Baez to his knees. In obvious pain, he was unable to get to his feet before the 10 μετρώ.
 Galiimore (pictured above in green), who fights out of Chicago, dedicated the fight to his stablemate, ο αείμνηστος Ed Brown (20-0), who was murdered earlier this month. “I saw a tape of him (Baez) and knew he backed up to the ropes,” Gallimore explained the finish. “I practiced that shot in the gym and I’m very happy with the outcome. I told all my teammates back in Chicago that I was dedicating this fight to Ed Brown.”
Los Angeles junior middleweight Flavio Rodriguez (6-0, 5 KOs) kept his undefeated record intact against previously unbeaten Mexican fighter Dilan “El Tremendo” Loza(5-1, 3 KOs) in the television opener. Ροντρίγκεζ, who one point during his 4 1/2-year hiatus from the ring weighed 90 pounds more than he entered the ring tonight, won by way of a third-round technical knockout. Loza was hurt by an accidental shot to the base of his head in the third and he was later dropped in the same round by the heavy-handed Rodriguez. Διαιτητής Jay Nady halted the bout after the third round.

“Για το μεγαλύτερο μέρος,” Rodriguez said, “he didn’t do anything different. I thought I controlled the fight with my jab. My boy, Λέων (Σάντα Κρουζ, friends from LA), was a world champion and I want to get to his level.”
In a battle of unbeaten welterweight prospects, πατρίδα αγαπημένη Jeremy “J-Flash” Nichols (7-0-1, 2 KOs) and San Diego’s Kevin “KO” Ottley (3-0-1) fought to a 6-round draw.

RJJ-promoted fighters, κατώτερος ελαφρύς Randy “Η Matador” Moreno (8-0, 7 KOs) και bantamweight Max “The Baby-Faced Assassin” Ορνέλας (7-0, 3 KOs), were both successfully showcased on the undercard.
Fast moving Moreno won his eighth fight σε εννέα μήνες, στάθμευση “Χρήματα” Μάικ Φάουλερ (5-4, 2 KOs) στον τέταρτο γύρο. Moreno improves each fight, showing incredible poise for a 21-year old boxer, and he legitimately rates as a national prospect to watch.
 Moreno (L) kept rolling
Ornelas dropped Jorge Perez (6-5-1, 3 KOs) in the second round on his way to a shutout decision over four rounds. The 18-year-old Ornelas recorded the seventh win of his 6-month pro career.
 Ορνέλας (L) είναι τώρα 7-0 and only 18 ετών
Επίσης αγωνίζομαι στην κάρτα, Texas junior featherweight Jessie “το One” Hernandez βελτιώθηκε σε 8-1 (6 KOs) with a 6-round unanimous decision over Sharone “Smoke” Καροτσιέρης (6-2, 2 KOs).

ADAM LOPEZ VS. DANNY ROMAN – 10 Γύροι, Super Bantamweights
Lopez, του Σαν Αντόνιο, Τέξας, παρεμπιπτόντως Φοίνιξ, Αριζόνα., is a prototypical ShoBox prospect-turned-contender. Είναι 3-0-1 on the series, having defeated three previous unbeaten boxers on the series: Mario Muniz (11-0) in a hard-fought 10-round decision on Feb. 19, 2016, outpointing Eliezer Acquino (17-0-1) across 10 rounds on July 17, 2015, and knocking out Pablo Cruz (11-0) in the second round on March 13, 2015. Στην πιο πρόσφατη του ShoBox εκδρομή, Lopez boxed a 12-round draw with Roman Reynoso(18-1-1) τον Ιουλιο 22, 2016.
“This will be my toughest fight. It is all about levels and progressing,’’ Lopez said of the matchup between the 26-year-old world-ranked contenders. “This may be my lastShoBox fight so I want to save the best for the last.
“Roman is very good fighter and I’m ready for a tough fight. He’s progressed a lot. He’s a good puncher, counter puncher and works the body. But I’m ready for whatever he brings. A win would be huge — it puts me in contention to fight a world champion.’’
An excellent boxer-puncher and tactician that likes to counter, Lopez was a standout amateur before going pro in February 2012. He is coming off an eighth-round knockout over Carlos Valcarcel για Νοε. 11, 2016, and is facing likely his toughest test to date in Lopez.
Roman has won 13 in a row dating to March 2014 – and none of the fights have been close. Πήγε 4-0 σε 2014, 6-0 σε 2015 και 4-0 σε 2016. The Los Angeles native, who is coming of an eight-round decision over previously unbeaten Marlon Olea (12-0) τελευταίος Νοέμβριος. 18, θα κάνει του ShoBox and East Coast debut in just his second outing outside of Southern California.
“I’ve been extremely active over the last few years and now all the hard work is starting to pay off,’’ said Roman, a pro since October 2009. “This is a tremendous opportunity and the type of fight I’ve been preparing for. Adam Lopez is a great fighter, and he’s highly ranked just like me. We are going to give the fans an exciting fight.
“I can box, I can brawl. I give the fans what they want. I think people are going to be impressed with how I fight. People want to see a fight and I know I’m going to bring it. Boxing fans are going to know who Danny Roman is on Ιαν. 20.''
RONALD ELLIS VS. ΧΡΙΣΤΟΦΕΡΟ ΜΠΟΥΚΟΚ, 8 Γύροι, Σούπερ Μεσαία βάρη
Ellis, του Lynn, Μάζα., and Brooker, της Φιλαδέλφειας, are making their second ShoBox ξεκινά. Like Lopez, they fought Feb. 19, 2016, σε Ατλάντικ Σίτι. Ellis boxed an entertaining eight-round majority draw in a slugfest with hard-hitting Τζέρι Odom; Brooker took an eight-round majority decision over previously unbeaten John Μάγδα(11-0) in a match that was originally announced a split draw but was later changed to a majority decision win for Brooker.
This will be Ellis’ second fight since the Odom fight. The 27-year-old Ellis, ο μεγαλύτερος αδελφός της προοπτικής welterweight Rashidi Ellis, outpointed Oscar Riojas across eight rounds on Dec. 10.
Ellis feels he’s benefited from going the distance in consecutive contests. “It’s helped me that I’ve gone through it before,»Είπε η Έλις, whose 10 knockouts have come inside two rounds (οκτώ στην πρώτη). "Τώρα, I know what they’re looking for. This time I’ll finish super strong and put on a show. I need this to further my career and put me in main event fights.
“I’ve seen Brooker fight a few times. He’s a tough guy who comes forward and comes to fight, and that is perfect for me. Brooker will be there for me to hit, and it will give me a great opportunity to showcase my talents.’’
Ως ερασιτέχνης, Ellis upset Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Εθνικό Golden Gloves. Gausha went on to represent the United States at the 2012 Olympic Games and is now an undefeated professional middleweight.
Brooker, a physically strong, aggressive-minded boxer-puncher, is trying to regain his winning ways after a nine-fight winning streak ended when he lost by 10ου-round TKO to highly regarded Ronald Γαβριήλ (16-1) τελευταίος Οκτώβριο. 8 στο Λας Βέγκας. The 25-year-old Brooker dropped Gavril in the fifth round but went down twice in the 10ου before it was stopped at 2:04. Entering the 10ου και τελευταίο γύρο, the fight was even on the judges’ scorecards.
“I’m ready and excited to get back in the ring,’’ said Brooker. “I can’t wait to fight another undefeated fighter on ShoBox. I’m still looking to get to the next level. I was at Ellis’ last fight, and I saw an average fighter compared to the guys I’ve fought. He’s solid, throws nice, short punches but runs out of gas.
“In my last fight I lost because I kept looking for the KO. I have a new trainer now (Gaunch Muhammad), and I’m getting back to the technical part of boxing. I’m jabbing more, and in my previous camps I wasn’t jabbing or boxing enough. I have the heart and condition but I have to get to my opponent with the jab.’’
The Philadelphia native was a top level amateur who has been active since turning professional in 2015.
KENNETH SIMS JR. VS. WELLINGTON ROMERO – 8 Γύροι, Super Lightweights
Sims, Σικάγο, is matched with unquestionably the most dangerous opponent of a career that began in March 2014. This will be the eight-round debut for the 23-year-old, who has gone six full rounds six times.
“This is the biggest fight of my career,’’ said Sims, who is coming off a six-round decision over Jonathan Dinong τελευταίος Νοέμβριος. 11. “I will be prepared for anything that I have to do. I’ve seen videos of Romero and I know he is a good fighter. I fought world champions in the amateurs so it’s not a big deal to fight him. I need to take care of business and get my win on national television. It’s as simple as that.”
Sims was a main sparring partner for Floyd Mayweather (when he was getting prepared for Άλλα Berto) και Manny Pacquiao (as he was getting ready for Mayweather). Sims, known for his boxing skills and ability to work the body, ήταν 2013 Η.Π.Α.. National Amateur Champion and a 2012 Olympic Trials semifinalist.
Romero had 268 amateur bouts and represented his native Dominican Republic in the 2012 Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες, where he lost to eventual Gold Medalist Βασίλ Lomachenko. Shortly thereafter he relocated to New York, where he turned pro in 2013. The 25-year-old is coming off a first-round knockout over Engleberto Valenzuela στις Δεκ. 10.
A slick boxer who can punch and gives opponent issues because of his awkward style and movement, Romero has been brought along carefully against mostly modest opposition. The southpaw is coming off a first-round TKO over Luis Meroles last Dec. 5.
