I believe my experience throughout this journey so far has shown again how one person can be the raindrop that creates the storm of change. What is real in our minds is real. I’m honored that Ring Magazine included me and I hope the publicity helps raise funds and awareness for Spinal Cord Injuries. Thank you to the sport I love for sharing my dream.”

I’m going to seize the opportunity to the best of my ability.
What kind of fight are you expecting from the champion?
Oliver Flores: Takashi Uchiyama is an incredible fighter. He’s defended his title many times over and his record is unblemished. Most of his title defenses have ended in a knockout so I know he’s a very powerful puncher. I’m expecting him to be aggressive in his approach.
How is the relationship with you and your father, who also serves as your trainer?

I’m ready for battle.
Without giving up your game plan, what do you feel you’ll need to do to come out victorious against Uchiyama?
Oliver Flores: I need to be aware of his powerful right hand power punchers. He also likes to land he left hook to the body, so I need to be ready to counter those punches.
Are you concerned about getting a fair decision in Japan where Uchiyama resides?

Talk about you relationship with Havoc Boxing Promotions.
Olivier Flores: Fighting for Havoc Boxing has been a tremendous blessing to for me and my career. I signed with them in June and shortly after I had a fight in August. Now remarkably I’m fighting for a world title and I couldn’t be happier. As a fighter you want to stay busy and put yourself in position to take your career to the next level. With Havoc Boxing, I’ve been able to do all of the above. My dad and I are very pleased to be part of Team Havoc Boxing.

Vandredi, Jan. 22 Nan 10:35 p.m. AK/PT

Viv sou chotim®

NEW YORK (Dec. 28, 2015) - ShoBox: New Generation a begins its 15th year on Chotim® with an explosive quadrupleheader on Vandredi, Jan. 22, 2016 live from Casino Del Sol in Tucson, Arizona. (10:35 p.m. AK/PT, reta nan Kòt Lwès la).

 

Nan evènman an prensipal nan aswè a, undefeated middleweight Rob "Bravo" Brant (18-0, 11 Ko, 0-3 nan mond seri de Bòks) nan St. Pòl, Soti nan., measures against Atlantic City’s Decarlo Perez (15-3-1, 5 Ko) nan yon matchup 10-wonn.

 

In co-featured bouts, envenku Harmonito “Hammer” Dela Torre (17-0, 12 Ko), of Las Vegas by way of Philippines, makes his United States debut against Rafael Guzman (16-1-1, 10 Ko), nan Ensenada, Mexico in an eight-round super featherweight bout and undefeated heavyweight JARRELL "Big ti bebe" Miller (15-0-1, 13 Ko) nan Brooklyn, N.Y.. faces southpaw Donovan Dennis (14-3, 11 Ko, 2-1 in WSB) nan Cleveland, Ohio in an eight-round scrap.

 

Ouvèti a ShoBox difuze, difisil-frape Bakhtiyar Eyubov (9-0, 9 Ko), nan Brooklyn, N.Y.. by way of Kazakhstan, satisfè Jerèd Robinson(16-2-1, 7 Ko), of Sumter, S.C. in an eight-round super lightweight tiff.

 

The event is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions.

 

Boxing historian and expert ring analyst Steve Farhood has called every fight on ShoBox since it premiered in 2001. He anticipates another year of excellent, competitive matchups in 2016.

 

“In 2015, we had eight fighters who appeared on ShoBox epi ale nan pou pou genyen tit mond. That means the average number of shows in which you’ll see a future world champion is one out of four,"Te di Farhood.

 

“We saw some fantastic prospects last year, Ki gen ladan Erickson Lubin ak Regis Prograis and fresh faces like Jarrett Hurd, Rob Brant—and a fighter who almost seems ready to fight for a title now—SergeyDerevyanchenko. Given Shobox’s 15-year history, I’m fully expecting that we will have more of the same in 2016.’’

 

Brant, Perez and Miller will be making their second consecutive appearances on ShoBox. Brant and Miller were victorious last Oct. 23, Perez last Aug. 28. Robinson will also be making his second ShoBox start; the four other boxers will be making their debuts.

 

“Both Brant and Perez won their most recent appearances on ShoBoxand both were impressive,'' Farhood di. “Brant took a big step up and outpointed Louis Rose in October and Perez pulled off the upset over the previously unbeaten Juan Ubaldo Cabrera nan mwa Out. So it makes all the sense in the world to match them against each other. On Jan. 22, we’re going to find out just how hot Rob Brant is.’’

Twenty-six-year-old Brant will be headlining his second consecutiveShoBox. In his first, he captured a hard-fought 10-round majority decision over Rose. Going 10 jij la pou premye fwa, Brant triumphed in an entertaining tight fight.

Anvan vire pro nan Novanm nan 2010, Brant was a 2010 Nasyonal Gan Golden Champion a 178 liv ak yon manm nan U.S lan. national boxing team pro. He currently trains in Dallas alongside top prospect Errol Spence Jr.

“I’m really excited about this fight and I’ve been training hard for several weeks now,’’ Brant said. “I’ve got a very serious opponent in front of me. He rates about a 7.7 at everything, which doesn’t leave a whole lot of weaknesses. I’ve got to go back to pure boxing for this one. I have to be better in every department. It’s my second time headlining ShoBox and I plan on improving from the first time, so viewers can chart my progress. This is my time to show my growth.’’

Perèz, who hails from a fighting family, has won four straight and nine of his last 10. He scored a surprising, upset, a 10-round unanimous decision over Cabrera (23-0 ale nan) in his last outing. Perèz, ki te pran batay la sou avi yon semèn nan, outpointed the two-time Dominican Republic Olympian by the scores of 98-91 de fwa epi 97-92.

“I’m so excited I’m the main event on national television,’’ Perez said. “I don’t know a lot about my opponent but I’m well prepared, both mentally and physically. I plan on giving the fans an exciting night.

“Camp is going very well. My management team has brought in top sparring with all undefeated boxers, one being Julian Williams. I’m excited that my trainer is allowing me to fight the majority, if not all of this fight, in the southpaw stance. I’m really a southpaw, but I have fought right-handed most of my career.”

 

Perez’ last loss came on a split eight-round decision to world title challenger Wilky Campfort nan mwa janvye 2014. Deyò bag la, Perez is a pharmacy technician at an Atlantic City hospital.

 

Miller, a former New York Golden Gloves finalist who turned pro in July 2009, is a confident, power-punching heavyweight who comes to knock you out. He won his ShoBox debut, kanpe Akhror Muralimov with a devastating right hand to the chin at 1:03 nan wonn nan twazyèm.

“I feel like I should have been here two years ago,’’ Miller said. “I’m not coming to make friends. I’m here to annihilate and destroy the whole heavyweight division. On Jan. 22, I’m going to put Donovan Dennis to sleep. I’m not being heard right now, so I have to make myself known. After this fight and what I do to Dennis, things will really, really start to pick up. I’m ready to destroy.’’

 

Besides being a hard hitter, Miller has good overall skills and movement for a big man whose weight fluctuates from fight to fight. He’s won his last four by knockout, all inside three rounds.

Known for an aggressive style, Miller is now fully focused on a fistic career, but he hails from an MMA and kickboxing background. Pou yon kèk ane, li konpetisyon nan K-1, istorikman òganizasyon kikboksin premye minis nan mond lan, epi de fwa te goumen lejand nan Mirko “CRO jandam” Filipović.

“There seems to be a new energy and enthusiasm on the American heavyweight scene,'' Farhood di. “Part of that is explained by the fall of a dominant champion in Wladimir Klitschko and part of it is explained by the emergence of Deontay Wilder, and even Travis Kauffman. So for a young heavyweight like Jarrell Miller, the time seems to be ideal to secure TV exposure and make a name for himself.’’

Dennis, 28, was born and raised in Davenport, Iowa. Before turning pro in June 2010, he was a top-level amateur: 11-time Iowa State Champion, 2011 National Golden Gloves runner-up in and 2012 Nan. S. Olympic Games Trials contestant.
The 6-foot-4 Dennis possesses good skills, movement and punching power to go with his strong amateur background. His weakness is durability; he’s been knocked out in all of his losses.

 

“I’m ready to fight,’’ Dennis said. “I’ve been training really hard and I am looking forward to the fight. I just want to get this win and move on as I will have a big year in 2016.’’

 

Dela Torre, considered one of the top young talents in the Philippines, will be fighting outside of Asia for the first time. A big puncher and winner of seven straight by knockout, -5 nan pye-8, 21-year-old is coming off athird-round TKO over Ricard Betos dènye Nov. 14.

“It’s every boxer’s dream to fight on big cards in United States. This is the next step in my pathway to becoming world champion,’’ Dela Torre said. “I can’t wait. This is an opportunity I will take advantage of and show everyone I’m ready to step up. I let my team concentrate on my opponents and pass me instructions. I just know I’ll be ready and able to stop any opponent.’’

 

Before turning professional at 17, Dela Torre was a top member on the Philippine National Amateur Boxing Team. As a pro, he has made a “name” for himself after an impressive victory over Jason Butar-Butar on the undercard of a Manny Pacquiao-headlined fight in November 2013.

 

Guzman, a 5-foot-8½-inch 20-year-old, yo pral fè l 'U.S. debut and initial start outside of Mexico since turning pro at 16 nan mwa Jiyè 2011. In Dela Torre, Guzman will be taking a significant step up in class. Li bay nòt yon TKO twazyèm-wonn sou Pedro Lopez on his last start in Oct. 9.

“I’m feeling very strong and ready for the challenge of this fight,’’ Guzman said. “Fighting on SHOWTIME is a huge opportunity for me. I hear my opponent is a good fighter, but I am ready for anything he can throw. Everybody is going to be talking about me after this fight.”

 

Yeyubov, 29, who could be on the fast track to stardom, is regarded by many to be the second-hardest Kazakh hitter in boxing, ranked only behind Gennady Golovkin. Since his days as an amateur when he won more than 150 batay, a vast majority by knockout, Eyubov has lived up to his reputation as a fearsome banger who looks to remove the judges from the equation.

 

He’s overwhelmed his first nine opponents as a pro, winning six by knockout in the first round and two by knockout in the second. The furthest he’s gone in a fight came in his second start when he scored a third-round TKO (2:57) sou Jhaquis Davis. In his last outing on Oct. 29, li bay nòt yon 1:27, premye-wonn TKO sou Antonio Chaves Fernandes nan Brooklyn.

Robinson, a pro since August 2009, fights out of Charlotte, N.C. A veteran of several scheduled 10-round fights, he’s undeniably the most experienced boxer Eyubov’s ever faced. A natural 140-pounder,Robinson won his initial 14 starts before losing on a fourth-round TKO to then-unbeaten Amir mwen sou ShoBox in a bout he took on short notice on Feb. 21, 2014.

De kòmanse de sa, Robinson fought to a disputed eight-round split draw against then-unbeaten Haskell Rhodes (23-0 ale nan) sou jen 21, 2015. An excellent boxer with good skills and movement, the 5-foot-9-inch Robinson, 33, is coming off a one-sided 10-round decision overChristian Dominguez dènye Sèt. 26. Deyò bag la, Robinson is amassage therapist.

Barry Tompkins pral rele nan ShoBox aksyon soti nan rinsid ak Farhood ak ansyen chanpyon nan lemonn Raul Marquez sèvi kòm analis ekspè. Pwodiktè egzekitif la se Gordon Hall ak Richard Gaughanpwodwi ak Rick Phillips dirije.
