“Boxing is a sport of opportunity and it has opened so many doors for me.

“Op Zaterdag, September 17th, we took the boxers along with Steve Smoger to a local radio station where they were interviewed on air. We also took them to one of Rochester’s super gyms, waar Willie Monroe, Jr. trains. We showed them many important sites within the city.

Juan Manuel “JuanMa” López plans to KO Wilfredo “Papa” Vázquez, Jr.
Oktober. 20 PPV live from San Juan, Puerto Rico
9 p.m. EN / 6 p.m. PT
|
TENAFLY, NJ (September 25, 2016) – Voormalig twee-divisie wereldkampioenJuan Manuel “JuanMa” López plans to knockout bitter arch-rival Wilfredo”Papa” Vázquez, Jr., also a past world titlist, in their 12-round Special Attraction showdownZaterdag, Oktober 8, airing live on pay per view from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Guerra En El Clemente: Vázquez Jr. in. López, presented by Black Tiger Promotions, will be distributed by Integrated Sports Media live, vanaf 9 p.m. EN / 6 p.m. PT, in the United States and Puerto Rico on both kabelen satelliet pay per view on iN Demand, DISH, DIRECTV and Vubiquity. The event will also be available to watch across Canada on Fight Network, as well as via Fite TV app for iOS and Android devices or watch on thewww.Fite.TV website. Suggested retail price is $29.95.
The Vázquez, Jr. vs. López main event is presented in association with Matias Entertainment and sponsored by Best Alarms and Municipio de San Juan.
The 33-year-old López (34-5, 31 KO), fighting out of Caguas, Puerto Rico, is een voormalig World Boxing Organization (WBO) super bantamweight and featherweight world champion. Uit 2008 naar 2010, “Juanma” was one of the top pound-4-pound fighters in the world, but he hasn’t fought in twee jaarheading into his much anticipated confrontation with his fellow countryman Vázquez, Jr.
“I still think I have a lot left in the tank,” López confidently said from his Puerto Rican training camp. “This is the first fight of my career that I feel I owe to fans because of the history behind it. I don’t think there will be any rust because I have been training for many, months and I have been inside the gym working hard. Maybe the agility I had four or five years ago isn’t quite the same, true, but at the same time I am more mature and much more calm and more intelligent in the ring. I definitely feel that I am a better fighter than ever before.”
Vázquez, Jr. (24-6-1, 19 KO), the son of the great three-time division world champion Wilfredo Vázquez, fights out of Bayamón whose best known boxing son is late Hall of Famer Héctor “Macho” Camacho. Vázquez became the vacant WBO super bantamweight world champion in 2010, knocking out previously unbeaten Marvin Sonsona (14-0-1) in de vierde ronde.
“I think my opponent is a very persistent fighter and a person who will do anything to meet his goals, even though that will make him behave improperly,” López added. “I think it will be a very aggressive fight, more of a brawl, and I’m sure the night of the fight I will be the stronger fighter. I will dominate him, round by round, and the first moment I have an opportunity to go for the kill, I will pressure him and won’t stop until I get a knockout.”
