הנה מה שהיו לי הלוחמים לומר יום חמישי:
ג'וליאן WILLIAMS
I want to thank Matano and his team for coming all the way over here. We’ve had a difficult time getting opponents for different reasons, but I’m excited to headline this stacked card.
When I win this fight I’ll be able to accomplish my dream of being a world champion. It’s one step closer.
I’m going to attack the head and body as much as I can. I’ve got enough film on him to see what he’s got. He’s pretty solid. He got better each time out. But those guys in Italy don’t have the skills that I have. I think he’s going to bring it for as long as he can handle it.
He’s an awkward fighter. He’s definitely a boxer and he can be a little skittish in the ring. I know I’ve fought the better competition and I’ve trained my hardest for this.
I’m ready to make a statement. I’m not worried about a knockout. However the win comes, it’s great. I’m just looking to win and beat him down.
I’m expecting a good Philadelphia crowd to be out here supporting me. Ninety percent of my career I’ve been on the West Coast and other places. But now fighting in front of my hometown fans, there’s nothing better. It’s perfect.
MARCELLO MATANO
I feel very good. I’ve been here since Friday so I have gotten used to the time zone difference and I’m ready to fight. My American experience is just starting and I’m looking forward to it.
It’s been a hard two months of training for this fight. This is by far the most important fight of my career so I’ve trained even harder than I usually do.
I know that Julian Williams is a top-notch athlete and that he is coming to give his best, בדיוק כמו שאני. It’s going to be an exciting fight because we both want to get to the top.
I can adapt myself to any opponent. I can be a boxer or I can be a brawler. But in my heart, I am a warrior and I will come forward all fight. I am coming to leave that ring victorious.
This is a dream come true to come here to the United States. I’ve always worked hard and it’s gotten me here. I will put all of my heart into the ring ביום שבת הלילה.”
אנטואן דאגלס
You can always look forward to an action-packed fight when I step into the ring. I have an admirable opponent who I know is coming to fight.
I’ve grown into this role and into who I am. If you asked me earlier in my career, I would have never thought I’d be here. This is great and it comes from all the hard work I’ve put in over the years.
You will see my growth יום שבת night in the ring. I plan on being victorious. The work I put in won’t let me be any less than that. I’m looking forward to the action.
I have a very strong opponent and I think it will make for a more exciting fight than Sam Soliman.
I just always have to be prepared for whatever is thrown at me. This is boxingthere are no guarantees. We just have to be prepared for everything and do our best.
The styles of Soliman and Khurtsidze are completely different, but we always base our offense and defense off a fighting at range and working the jab. I’m not going in blindI’ve faced opponents who come forward. We’ll be ready for him and ready to make the adjustments in the ring.
“נצחון ביום שבת will definitely put me in a position for a title shot. We just take it day-by-day. It’s not about looking at future opponents. We take each step successfully and see where it puts us.
AVTANDIL KHURTSIDZE
I’m very happy to be here and I’m grateful for the opportunity. I’m fighting a very strong fighter. Once I step into the ring I’m expecting a good challenge and I can’t wait for יום שבת לילה.
Everything in training went well. We’ve trained really hard and we’re ready for יום שבת לילה.
Douglas is a good fighter. He’s a good boxer and he has a good left hook. But none of that means anything until you get in the ring.
Once I step into the ring, I will bring 100 אחוזים. I am not going to stop swinging until Douglas goes down.
FERNANDO GUERRERO
We’re ready to fight. We had a great training camp and there’s not too much to say. It’s warrior time.
I’ve been through my ups and downs, but I’m still here and I’m not going anywhere. This is for my whole nation, everyone in the Dominican Republic who is watching. You have to step in that ring for something.
This isn’t a game. This is the only sport that you cannot play. I’m going to make this one of those fights that will be one of the best of the year. It will either be the best knockout or the best fight of the year. This is going to be memorable.
This is the kind of opponent who will bring out the best of me. Everybody has to watch out for me. אני בא לתת הצהרה ביום שבת.”

I got to 8-0 but that hurt me because I couldn’t get good fights. But I’ve always really been my own man. This is a very, מאוד, very big event for me, my family will be in the house supporting me.

ריקי האטון: “זכייה של בראון בתואר במשקל כבד תהיה ענקית עבור החברה שלי”

לוקאס בראון הבלתי מנוצח כדי להתנגש עם רוסלן צ'גאיב על תואר WBA העולמי במשקל כבד בשידור חי בשבת קרובה על AWE ב 2 PM ET

סן דייגו, כגון – מרץ 3, 2016 – זה יום שבת אחר הצהריים, 5 במרץ, בלתי מנוצח ומדורג במקום השני במשקל כבד של WBA לוקאס “אבא גדול” בראון(23-0-0) ילחם בהגנה אלוף העולם במשקל כבד של WBA, רוסלן צ'גאיב (34-2-1) עבור חגורתו. הקרב ישודר LIVE בארצות הברית על AWE – עושר של בידור.
הפעולה מתחילה בשידור חי ב 2 PM ET / 11 בבוקר PT.
בראון מקודם על ידי אלוף העולם לשעבר בשתי חטיבות ואיידול הבריטי, ריקי האטון ולגדול מנצ'סטר יש הרבה על הפרק בשבת קרובה אם בראון יצליח להגיע עם הניצחון.
“זה יהיה עצום עבור החברה שלי, מאוד משמעותי,”אמר האטון. “לוקאס יהיה אלוף העולם הראשון שלי בתור אמרגן, וזה פנטסטי שזה יהיה תואר במשקל כבד. הייתי פעמיים אלוף עולם כלוחם. אימנתי אלוף עולם, אז אני לא מכיר הרבה אנשים שעשו את שלושתם כמאמן, לוחם ואמרגן. “
שיהיה בראון בתפקיד הזה, הלוחם הפך למקדם, נרגש עבור הלוחם שלו, כי בראון לא היה מבוקש בתחילת הקריירה שלו.
“אני מאוד שמח בשביל לוקאס. הוא עלה בדרך הקשה. הוא לא היה אולימפי. למעשה, זה היה רק ​​לפני כמה שנים, שהוא עבד בדלתות במועדוני לילה והוא השקיע עבודה קשה וזה לילה גדול עבורי ועבור החברה שלי.”
למרות שהקרב היה בשטח האויב, “Hitman”, מרגיש שהלוחם שלו בידיים טובות שכן בראון מאומן על ידי אלוף העולם במשקל סופר בינוני לשעבר ובריטי גדול, נייג'ל בן.
“יש לו קבוצה מצוינת מאחוריו. מאמן מצוין. זו הולכת להיות עבודה קשה, אבל אני מאמין בתוקף שהוא ינצח בקרב. זה יהיה קשה מכיוון שצ'אגייב היה חובבן גדול ועכשיו אלוף עולם. לוקאס שתמיד היה ידוע בתור פאנצ'ר נע הרבה יותר טוב על הרגליים. מאוד נוזלי. גם לוקאס הוסיף מהירות והיה לו הכנה מצוינת.”
להיות בשטח אויב, האטון יודע שהקרב עשוי להגיע לידי השופטים, והוא מאמין שבראון יקבל טלטלה הוגנת.
“הייתי רוצה לחשוב שלוקאס לא יצטרך נוקאאוט כדי לנצח, אבל השופטים יכולים להיות מושפעים על ידי אוהדי עיר הולדתם, אבל זהו קרב אליפות העולם, אני מצפה לשופטים ברמה עולמית. זה נאמר, לוקאס לא צריך להשאיר את זה ליד המקרה.”
עם ניצחון בראון, יש סיכוי שחלק לא מבוטל של חטיבת המשקל הכבד תעבור דרך הממלכה המאוחדת בתור האלוף המאוחד טייסון פיורי ופוטנציאל אנתוני ג'ושוע (שנלחם על אלוף IBF צ'רלס מרטין אפריל 9) יחזיק את רוב החומרה בחטיבת הזוהר של האגרוף.
“חשבתי על זה. אני מסתדר טוב עם אדי הרן, למי יש את יהושע. אני מקבל אהבה ארוכה עם האמרגן לשעבר שלי פרנק וורן ואתה יכול גם לזרוק לשם את דיוויד היי שחזר. אני לא רואה שום בעיה לעשות קרבות עם ג'ושוע או פיורי והיו לנו כמה קרבות מסיביים של משקלים כבדים כאן. לוקאס נלחם כאן חמש פעמים ויש לו קהל מעריצים טוב.”
“הדבר היחיד שאני כועס עליו ביום שבת זה שאני לא יכול להיות שם עם לוקאס כשהוא מנצח שכן אני מאמן הרבה לוחמים צעירים ויש לי ארבעה מהם נלחמים ביום שבת והם צריכים אותי איתם בלונדון, אבל יום שבת יהיה יום נהדר עבור החברה שלי.”
יהיה אנדרקלף של שלושה קרבות החל ב- 2 PM.
בקרב של 10 סיבובים במשקל כבד, אדמונד גרבר (25-2, 16 KO של) של שוורין, גרמניה תילחם בריאן מינטו (41-10, 26 KO של) של באטלר, הרשות הפלסטינית.

GH3 Promotions Antoine Douglas ready for big performance on Saturday night

נאטלי, ניו ג'רזי (מרץ 3, 2016) – זה במוצאי שבת ב Sands Bethlehem Events Center, בלתי מנוצח משקל בינוני אנטואן דאגלס (19-0-1, 13 KO של) will face the toughest test of his career when he takes on rugged Avtandil Khurtsidze in the co-feature bout of a SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION®.
This fight is the continuing process of Douglaspromoter GH3 Promotions, which has groomed the Washington, D.C. native from his first professional bout.
Douglas set the model for what GH3 Promotions is all about and that is grass roots developing.
I am so proud of Antoine and the job he has done,”said GH3 Promotions CEO Vito Mielnicki. “When I started this company, I wanted to sign very good fighters with solid amateur backgrounds. Antoine was the someone I coveted and I saw this vision for him and now the fight on Saturday is the perfect next step for him. כאשר הוא זוכה ביום שבת and I feel he will be ready for a big opportunity.
Mielnicki continued, “That’s the blueprint. Develop fighters on my local shows. Fighters like Antoine and now האדם לופז (15-0, 7 KO של) graduated to ShoBox main event status and then to the next level. היה לנו ג'ון תומפסון (17-2, 6 KO’s fight for a world title, We have high aspirations for O'Shaquie פוסטר (10-1, 7 KO של), ג'רי אודום (13-2-1, 12 KO של) רונלד אליס (12-0-1, 10 KO של) , קינן סמית (9-0, 3 KO של) ו הקטור Frometa (2-0).”
לופז, stayed undefeated by winning a comfortable unanimous decision over previously Mario Munoz on February 19th in Atlantic City that headlined a ShoBox: The New Generation card..
Odom and Ellis fought to a spirited draw in a Super Middleweight bout. On another televised bout, Foster was dominant in stopping Lavisas Williams. On the non-televised card, Hector Frometa went to 2-0 עם נצחון החלטת פה אחד.
We feel that Lopez needs another fight or two against good opposition to get to where Antoine is now. Foster showed that he has a chance to be a special fighter and we love the potential of Frometa.
Foster is now trained by Dennis Porter & Ronald Sims, who also handle Antoine and it was evident in their first fight together the difference that they have already made on him.
Douglas is currently ranked number-six by the WBA, number-eleven by the IBF and number-three by the WBO, while Lopez is ranked number-seven by the WBA.
This is all a product of moving our guys fast and right and by not babying them on the way up.

John David Jackson’s Star Pupil Luis “קובה”Arias Ready for His First Headlining Bout

Undefeated Middleweight headlines בשבת קרובהnight in Columbus, אוהיו.

לפרסום מיידי
NEW YORK, ניו יורק (מרץ 3, 2016)–בשבת קרובה לילה ב Columbus, אוהיו,
ספורט נצחון & בידור is pleased to announce that undefeated middleweight prospect, לואיס “קובה” Arias will make the first in what we hope, are many headlining appearances when he takes on power punching Gilberto Santos of Brazil in a bout scheduled for ten rounds under the direction of world class trainer, ג'ון דוד ג'קסון.

Arias of Milwaukee, Wisconsin has a perfect record of 13-0 עם שישה knockouts.

Camp has been excellent. Things have been coming together nicely and on time. I get better and stronger every camp,” Said Arias. “I am not overlooking Santos as he’s a strong fighter who’s coming to win but this is my time and I want to make a statement in my first headliner.

Training with John David Jackson has been a great. Having someone with his level of experience has helped me develop as a fighter. He has helped take my game to another level. Him and Derik Santos have been a great fit for me. I feel I have the best training team in boxing.

The 25 year-old came into the pro ranks with high aspirations after a stellar amateur career that saw him win two US National Championships and a National PAL title, in addition to numerous medals on the international level.
In Jackson, he has a trainer who has trained many world champions and is currently one of the hot cornermen in boxing due to his work with current Light Heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev.

Luis has had a great camp he’s strong and on weight. He’s ready for his first headlining bout and wants to showcase his talent and show people that he’s the real deal,”said Jackson of his prized pupil,” אמר ג'קסון.

For this camp we are stressing the body attack. Luis is a good boxer with excellent skills and power. We are trying to develop his all-around game so we are focusing more on working the body for this fight.

Jackson does not feel Cuba Arias is just any boxer. He sees major things in the future for him.
Luis has the potential to become a World Champion. He was a tremendous amateur, הוא קשוח, determined with excellent power and great all around skills. 2016 should be his breakout year. He has the skills and needs to be showcased on a bigger stage. It’s time to take the wraps off and let him prove himself. הוא יכול להילחם, he gets better each time out, he wants to test himself in bigger fights and is ready for the challenge.

“לאחר המאבק הזה, I want a real test for Luis, a good name fighter where he can be challenged and have to work. I know he can be great and will rise to the occasion so I just want him to get the opportunity to showcase his skills and show everyone what a great fighter he is.
Arias, who is promoted by Roc Nation Sports and managed my Victory Sports & בידור, now has the complete team in place with the addition of the world class trainer.
Said Victory Sports & Entertainment’s Rick Torres, “2016 is the year where Cuba has to step up the level of competition and show everyone how great he is. This is his first headlining bout which is a big deal for him and we know Santos is a dangerous opponent with real punching power so this should be a good test for Cuba. After this fight we are looking forward to Roc Nation putting him on higher profile fights, TV fights where the world can see what we already knowthat he’s one of the best young fighters in the world and a future Champion. With the right development Cuba can become a star attraction in the sport and we know Roc Nation can make this happen. We just want the opportunity and Cuba will handle the rest.

In celebration of the best rivalries on SHOWTIME, see below for a special column from SHOWTIME Sports expert analyst and boxing historian סטיב הפרהוד.

 

LEGENDS

By Steve Farhood

 

Boxing without legends would be like religion without saints.

There’s no formula for a fighter to advance from star to superstar to legend. The process depends on timing, circumstance, and sometimes as little as a point or two on the judges’ כרטיסים.

And oh, כן: It helps if a guy can really fight.

As we celebrate 30 years of boxing on SHOWTIME, we’re focusing on a different theme each month. Throughout March, the theme will be Legends.

ב 130 years from John L. Sullivan to Floyd Mayweather, boxing has given us what other sports can’t provide. Consider:

  • The Associated Press voted Luis Firpo’s knockdown of Jack Dempsey as the greatest sports moment of the first half of the 20th Century.
  • The Frazier-Ali “Fight Of The Century” in 1971 was easily the most anticipated sporting event in history.
  • Last year’s Mayweather-Pacquiao fight generated more than half-a-billion dollarsin one night!

Legends are made by big momentsand how they respond to those moments.

ב- SHOWTIME, we’ve featured three decades worth of legends. Here’s a look at those who will share the spotlight in March.

MARVIN HAGLER: Since Vince Lombardi didn’t exactly say, “Timing isn’t everything, it’s the only thing,” Hagler should’ve said it.

Hagler was a great fighter long before he was a superstar, but it wasn’t until he fought Roberto Duran, תומאס Hearns, and Sugar Ray Leonard (three of Hagler’s last six bouts) that Marvin became Marvelous.

Hagler’s one appearance on SHOWTIME, which happened to be the first bout televised on the network (מרץ 1986), was the final win of his career. Undefeated over 10 שנים, Hagler had established himself as one of the greatest middleweights in history. And while it could be argued in hindsight that at age 31, the ultimate blue-collar fighter was slightly past his prime, much of what made Hagler special was on display during his savage defense against his unbeaten and ferocious challenger, John Mugabi.

Almost three decades after his retirement, Hagler remains the middleweight today’s 160-pounders are measured against.

השוגר ריי לאונרד: If Hagler bloomed late, Leonard was a superstar before he threw a single punch as a professional.

Back in the mid-‘70s, that’s what a magnetic smile, an Olympic gold medal, and repeated exposure on prime time television could do for a young fighter.

It’s ironic that Leonard was initially viewed by some as a coddled creation of the media. למעשה, he was as tough as any fighter of the star-studded early-‘80s. Better yet, he remains the best fighter I’ve covered in 38 years on the boxing beat.

Leonard’s appearance on SHOWTIME was the penultimate bout of his career. In electing to end yet another lengthy layoff, השוגר ריי, 34, chose outstanding 23-year-old super welterweight titlist Terry Norris as his opponent. Leonard dropped from 160 ל 154 pounds and fought at Madison Square Garden for the first time.

The bout served as a reminder that at least in a pre-Bernard Hopkins world, boxing was very much a young man’s game.

FELIX TRINIDAD: There are only three Hispanic fighters who became superstars in the USA without speaking English. The first was Panama’s Roberto Duran. The second was Mexico’s Julio Cesar Chavez.

The third was Puerto Rico’s Trinidad.

Trinidad’s motto might as well have been, “If you can’t be from America, then beat America.”

A classic puncher with a boy scout’s smile and a fan-friendly personality, Trinidad made his name by defeating four U.S. אולימפיים, פרנל ויטאקר, אוסקר דה לה הויה (albeit by a terrible decision), David Reid, and Fernando Vargas.

יתר על כן, ויטאקר, דה לה הויה, and Reid had all been gold medalists.

The fight we’ll feature on מרץ 17 על SHO EXTREME, Trinidad vs. Reid, was Trinidad’s 14th and final appearance on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING and SHOWTIME pay-per-view.

From his welterweight title-winning kayo of Maurice Blocker in 1993 through his defense against Mahenge Zulu in 1998, 13 of Trinidad’s 14 bouts were aired on SHOWTIME. Twelve of those fights were knockout wins.

Where Trinidad ranks with Wilfredo Gomez, מיגל קוטו, קרלוס אורטיס, Wilfred Benitez, and the rest of the legends from Puerto Rico is debatable. What is inarguable is that “Tito” generated as much excitement as any fighter of his era.

RICARDO LOPEZ: What’s smaller: the chance that a strawweight (105 קילו) becomes an American television star or the fighter himself?

There’s never been an American world champion at strawweight (or minimumweight). We just don’t grow fighters that size. למעשה, until the emergence of Mexico’s Lopez in the early-’90s, most American boxing fans couldn’t have identified a single strawweight if armed with a map of the world and a set of WBC ratings.

Lopez was so complete, so dominant, so technically perfect, that from 1994 to ’99, he was a staple of SHOWTIME’s boxing programming. He fought 13 consecutive bouts on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING or SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View, and the first 11 of those contests were defenses of the strawweight title.

And if you think the little guys can’t punch, גם, there were some one-punch kayos sprinkled in.

לופז, who retired with a mark of 51-0-1, is universally acknowledged as an all-time great. Too bad he never fought America’s Michael Carbajal at light flyweight. Had he won that bout, he’d likely be acknowledged as one of the two or three greatest Mexican fighters ever.

Which is saying a lot for a fighter who never faced an opponent recognized by the American viewing public.

Here is what Julian and his trainer, Stephen Edwards, היה לי לומר יום שלישי:
ג'וליאן WILLIAMS
I am extremely focused. There is a lot at stake בשבת קרובה. I am finally in the position I wanted to be in since turning pro.
I have come to a conclusion that if people don’t have to fight Julian Williams then they won’t. It hasn’t been that frustrating though because I always have a fight on the books. I can’t worry about the people who won’t fight me. I just have to stay ready and put myself in the mandatory spot. That’s what I am going to do ביום שבת לילה.
It’s never any challenge fighting at home. I know exactly what I have to do. I don’t cut any corners in camp. The biggest challenge is the waiting because I am so anxious to get in there and get a win, especially in front of my home crowd.
I always knew I wanted to pursue a boxing career, so I treat it like I want it. I’ve been dreaming about this for a long time and my opportunity is finally here.
I’ve been a student of the game since I started watching boxing. I want to learn and I want to know everything about boxing.
It means everything to have my biggest fight to date in my backyard. I know my fans cheer loud and it feels great to have their support in my corner.
I know everything about my opponent. I probably know what kind of toothpaste he used this morning. I searched high and low for videos of Matano. I am ready because I know he is ready.
He is a little bit awkward. He seems to have a really good gas tank. He said he wants to take me the distance, אז נראה.
The last fight solidified the things that I already knew about myself. I know I am fundamentally sound and I know I am the hungriest fighter in the world.
I always want to put on an explosive performance. It’s always about a win.
In about nine months, Philadelphia will have it’s fourth IBF super welterweight champion after David Reid, Robert Hines and Buster Drayton.
STEPHEN EDWARDS, וויליאמס’ מאמן
We are ready. It’s been a long four-month camp. We thought were going to fight in January, so we’ve been grinding through this rough weather early in the morning. Julian is chomping at the bit and ready to rock ‘n roll.
We thought we were going to fight Austin Trout in December, and he saw that Julian gave his opponent a concussion and said I don’t want to fight him. It’s just that simple. We have to get past Matano and then we can talk about (super welterweight champion Jermall) Charlo.
Anybody with two hands and a heartbeat can fight. Matano is ranked and just because he isn’t well known, it doesn’t mean he can’t fight. הוא 16-1 and they didn’t have a hard time convincing him to take the fight. The best soldiers are volunteers. Any time someone willingly comes to someone else’s country, you have to take him seriously.
I don’t want to make a prediction, but Julian will hurt this guy very bad.

Josh Torres looking for upset to
Make name for himself & NM boxers
“Knockout Night at the D”, ים. 12 at DLVEC in Las Vegas
Live on CBS Sports Network
לאס וגאס (מרץ 1, 2016) – Future Hall of Fame candidate Zab “Super” יהודה is fighting for his legacy. His road back to the top starts יום שבת לילה,מרץ 12, against upset-minded ג'וש “Pitbull” טורס, in the 10-round main event kicking off the new monthly pro boxing series, “Knockout Night at the D”, משדרים בשידור חי (8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. ו) ב רשת CBS ספורט live from the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC).
שהוצג על ידי D לאס וגאס ו מרכז אירועים במרכז העיר לאס וגאס, along with Neon Star Media and Roy Englebrecht Promotions, the “Knockout Night at the D” סדרה’ inaugural event ים. 12 will take place inside the DLVEC’s 20,000-square-foot tent, located in the heart of the downtown Las Vegas casino district, one block away from the world famous Fremont Street (200 S. 3rd St.).
יהודה (42-9, 29 קוס), נלחם מתוך לאס וגאס, has been a professional boxer for nearly 20 שנים. The southpaw has defeated seven world champions during his outstanding career: ג'וניור וויטר, Terron Millet, DeMarcus קורלי, Raphael Pineda, Corey Spinks, יהושע קלוטים ו(interim champ) לוקאס Matthysse. The Brooklyn native has an outstanding 11-8 (9 קוס) record in world title fights.
עכשיו, למרות ש, his past is in the rearview mirror and Judah’s on a mission to capture his sixth world title. That’s what drives the 38-year-old originally from Brooklyn. “I’m very happy to be headlining the first show of the ‘Knockout Night at the D’ סדרה,” Judah said. “I’m always comfortable and happy in the squared ring. I enjoy the sport of boxing and have one more goalto be six-time world champion of the world!”
Due to a variety of reasons, Judah has been out of action for two years, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he hasn’t been ready to rock in the ring. “אני מאוד מתרגש להיות שוב בטבעת,” Judah remarked. “I helped פלויד (Mayweather) get ready for (מני)Pacquiao and last May came out of that camp in great shape. I’ve been ready to fight since then.
I’ve studied him (טורס) and he’s a hungry, young guy with a great opportunity in front of him. We aren’t overlooking him.
The 24-year-old Torres (15-4-2, 7 קוס) may not have the same name recognition as many of Judah’s past opponents, but the determined prospect from Albuquerque, NM has nothing to lose and everything to gain fighting Judah.
I believe this fight can be life changing, not only for me, but also for upcoming New Mexico fighters,” Torres commented. “Boxing doesn’t get a lot of attention in my state.
Torres is a protégé of the late 5-time world championג'וני טאפיה. His brother-in-law, Chris Chavez, now trains Torres, who has been sparring with fellow New Mexican and former world junior middleweight champion, אוסטין טראוט, to prepare for the left-handed Judah.
Torres is also a professional barber who’d like to clip Judah, כביכול. “I haven’t had a promoter or manager,” he explained the need for him to be a barber as well as a pro boxer. “I’ve always had to work to pay bills. It’s just had to be that way in my boxing career.
Fast rising Las Vegas lightweight star, Mexico-born Chuy “ההוריקן” גוטיירז (14-0-1, 4 קוס), פוגש ליאון “The Third GenerationSpinks III (11-3-1, 7 קוס) in the 8-round co-feature.
