מיגל קוטו (40-5, 33 קוס) 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 משחקים אולימפיים בסידני, אוסטרליה. Cotto has competed in 24 קרבות אליפות עולם, גיבוש תיעוד של 19-5 עם 16 knockouts in those bouts. In Puerto Rico, he is hailed as a national hero and the successor of Felix “טיטו” 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. ביוני 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 “תוהה” מרטינז. He is trained by legendary Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach and has fought some of the biggest names in the sport including Floyd “כסף” Mayweather and Manny “פקמן” Pacquiao. Cotto owns his own boxing promotional company in Puerto Rico, מבצעי יגל קוטו, and presides over his charity La Fundación El Ángel de Miguel Cotto, a non-profit organization dedicated to combatting childhood obesity. בחודש מרץ 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. ביוני 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, ניו יורק. 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. בנובמבר 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 פבואר 25.

 

A Texas titan, representing the city of Austin, 32-year-old southpaw James “Mandingo Warrior” Kirkland (32-2, 28 קוס) 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, טקסס.

אסטון פאליקטה (R) won a 10-round split decision over “ליל”” אוסקר קאנטו
לאס וגאס (דצמבר 17, 2016) – Tonight’s final round of the 2016 “Knockout Night at the D” series ended in typical style as “אדיר” אסטון פאליקטה won a 10-round split decision over previously undefeated “Lil'” אוסקר קאנטו in a terrific super flyweight match from start to finish inside the מרכז אירועים במרכז העיר לאס וגאס indoor facility.
The “Knockout Night at the D” סדרה, שהוצג על ידי D לאס וגאסand Down town Las Vegas Events Center, was promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) מבצעים לאגרוף. This evening’s seventh and final “Knockout at the D” event in 2016 aired live on רשת CBS ספורט 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 (פאליקט) and consummate boxer (Cantu). There was surprising non-stop action from the opening bell. Power punching Palicte (22-2, 18 קוס) pressed the action as the clear aggressor, but Cantu stood in the pocket, מדי, as the technician used his defensive skills to make things difficult for his world rated Filipino opponent.
סופו של דבר, it all came down to the 10ה סיבוב, which Palicte swept on all three judges’ scorecards for a hard-fought split decision victory by scores of 98-92, 96-94, 94-96. פאליקט, דירוג לא. 11 על ידי פדרציית האיגרוף הבינלאומית (IBF) ולא. 15 על ידי ארגון האיגרוף העולמי (WBO), took Cantu’s North American Boxing Federation (NABF) title belt in addition to capturing the vacant WBO Inter-Continental strap.
Cantu, שמדורג אין. 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, עם זאת, proved to be Palicte’s slugging ability in this classic confrontation in which the puncher barely prevailed against the boxer.
בשיתוף התכונה, Jamaican junior middleweight Nathaniel “No Problem” Gallimore(16-1-1, 13 קוס) scored a spectacular first-round knockout of previously unbeaten Angelo “Bombardero” Baez (15-1-1, 11 קוס), 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 count.
Galiimore (pictured above in green), who fights out of Chicago, dedicated the fight to his stablemate, מאוחר 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 קוס) kept his undefeated record intact against previously unbeaten Mexican fighter Dilan “El Tremendo” Loza(5-1, 3 קוס) in the television opener. רודריגז, 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. שופט Jay Nady halted the bout after the third round.

“על פי רוב,” Rodriguez said, “he didn’t do anything different. I thought I controlled the fight with my jab. My boy, אריה (סנטה קרוז, friends from LA), was a world champion and I want to get to his level.”
In a battle of unbeaten welterweight prospects, עיר הולדתו האהובה Jeremy “J-Flash” Nichols (7-0-1, 2 קוס) and San Diego’s קווין “KO” Ottley (3-0-1) fought to a 6-round draw.

RJJ-promoted fighters, קל משקל זוטר תַאַותָנִי “Matador” מורנו (8-0, 7 קוס) וbantamweight Max “The Baby-Faced Assassin” Ornelas (7-0, 3 קוס), were both successfully showcased on the undercard.
Fast moving Moreno won his eighth fight in nine months, עצירה “כסף” Mike Fowler (5-4, 2 קוס) בסיבוב הרביעי. Moreno improves each fight, showing incredible poise for a 21-year old boxer, and he legitimately rates as a national prospect to watch.
מורנו (L) kept rolling
Ornelas dropped Jorge Perez (6-5-1, 3 קוס) 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.
Ornelas (L) עכשיו 7-0 ורק 18 שנים
Also fighting on the undercard, Texas junior featherweight Jessie “האחד” הרננדז השתפר ל 8-1 (6 קוס) with a 6-round unanimous decision over Sharone “Smoke” קְרוֹנַאִי (6-2, 2 קוס).

ADAM LOPEZ VS. DANNY ROMAN – 10 סיבובים, Super Bantamweights

לופז, של סן אנטוניו, טקסס, by way Phoenix, אריזונה., is a prototypical Shobox prospect-turned-contender. הוא 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 פבלו קרוז (11-0) in the second round on March 13, 2015. ברובו האחרון ShoBox טיול, Lopez boxed a 12-round draw with Roman Reynoso(18-1-1) ביולי 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 בתאריך Nov. 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. הוא הלך 4-0 ב 2014, 6-0 ב 2015 ו 4-0 ב 2016. The Los Angeles native, who is coming of an eight-round decision over previously unbeaten Marlon Olea (12-0) אחרון נובמבר. 18, יעשה 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 יאן. 20.''

 

RONALD ELLIS VS. CHRISTOPHER BROOKER, 8 סיבובים, סופר Middleweights

אליס, של לין, מסה., and Brooker, של פילדלפיה, are making their second ShoBox מתחיל. Like Lopez, they fought Feb. 19, 2016, באטלנטיק סיטי. Ellis boxed an entertaining eight-round majority draw in a slugfest with hard-hitting ג'רי אודום; Brooker took an eight-round majority decision over previously unbeaten ג'ון מגדה(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, the older brother of welterweight prospect Rashidi אליס, outpointed אוסקר ריוג'אס 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,’’ said Ellis, whose 10 knockouts have come inside two rounds (eight in the first). "עַכשָׁיו, 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.’’

 

כחובבן, Ellis upset טרל Gausha to win the 2010 כפפות זהב הלאומיות. 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 10ה-round TKO to highly regarded רונלד גבריל (16-1) אחרון אוקטובר. 8 בלאס וגאס. The 25-year-old Brooker dropped Gavril in the fifth round but went down twice in the 10ה before it was stopped at 2:04. Entering the 10ה והסיבוב אחרון, 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 סיבובים, Super Lightweights

Sims, שיקגו, 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 אחרון נובמבר. 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 פלויד Mayweather (when he was getting prepared for ברטו אחר) ו מני Pacquiao (as he was getting ready for Mayweather). Sims, known for his boxing skills and ability to work the body, היה 2013 מתגורר בארה"ב. National Amateur Champion and a 2012 Olympic Trials semifinalist.

 

Romero had 268 amateur bouts and represented his native Dominican Republic in the 2012 משחקים אולימפיים, where he lost to eventual Gold Medalist אסיל ומצ'נקו. 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 אנגלברטו ולנצואלה בדצמבר. 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 לואיס Meroles last Dec. 5.

 

Romero understands that this could likely be his most daunting task to date. “I’m looking forward to introducing myself to the American public,'' הוא אמר. “Sims is a good fighter but I will always like challenges, and this will be my biggest challenge as a pro.’’

 

STEPHON YOUNG VS. DANIEL ROSAS – 8 סיבובים, Super Bantamweights

 

צעיר, סנט. לואיס, is making his second ShoBox התחלה. In his debut, he boxed a 10-round draw with previously undefeated ניקולאי פוטאפוב (14-0) in April of 2016.

 

“To be able to be back on ShoBox feels good,” said Young, who registered a majority 10-round decision over previously once-beaten Juan Lopez Jr. in his last scrap on Sept. 30, 2016. “My first fight on ShoBox was not a fair decision. It was my first 10-rounder and I feel like I won the fight. This time I will be able to show more of what I have.

 

“Training has been great. I already have been in camp for two months. The fight against Potapov was my first with my new coach (הרמן קייסדו), and this will be our third fight. We won the NABA title by beating Lopez and now we’re back.”

The 25-year-old Young, who is currently ranked No. 9 בWBA, was an experienced amateur who compiled a record of 86-13 while representing the U.S. in a number of tournaments. In the U.S. ניסויים אולימפיים ב 2011, he lost to the No. 1-rated amateur, ראושי וורן.

 

The 27-year-old Rosas, של מקסיקו סיטי, is a nine-year veteran who is experienced against top opposition. ב 2011, in just his 13ה professional fight, Rosas fought to a 12-round split draw against Jose Cabrera in a bout for the Interim WBO Super Flyweight World Title. ב 2014, he lost a close, unanimous decision to Alejandro Hernandezfor the Interim WBO Bantamweight Title.

 

Rosas has rattled off three consecutive victories since fighting Hernandezt. בהתקף האחרון שלו ב אפריל 29, he lost via TKO to current IBF Super Bantamweight Champג'ונתן גוזמן בU.S. הבכורה.
