No place like home for Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz

Worcester, Misa. (Pebrero 11, 2020) – A lifelong dream will become finally reality on February 28th, when undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight championJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (12-0, 6 KOs) fights at home for the first time as a professional in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Ortiz will headline aCES Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS® event, promoted by Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES), at the historic Worcester Palladium. His opponent in the 8-round main event will be Mexican knockout artist“Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-5, 17 KOs), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion.

“I’ve never fought in Worcester as a professional,” Ortiz said at a recent press conference. “I’ve wanted to do this bad to let people in Worcester see what it has. It’s going to be extra special because two of my closest friendsIrvin Gonzalez ugKendrick Ball, Jr., are also fighting on this card. We’ve fought together since we were kids.”

The 23-year-old will not be defending his WBC Youth World title, because he will relinquish his belt in April, when turns 24 and becomes ineligible in terms of the age requirement (23 and younger).

“Jamaine had one of the most prestigious amateur careers ever in New England,” Ortiz’ promoterJimmy Burchfield (CES Boxing) said. “He already owns the WBC World Youth title and has World Champion written all over him.”

“The Technician” is fine tuning his game and he’s already looking ahead to the not too distant future.

“I’m very excited to be fighting February 28th for the first time in Worcester,” Ortiz added. “It’s an exciting card with action-packed fights. I expect it’ll be sold out and hope so, because I want to prove to my city, akong promoter, and local businesses that big-time boxing belongs here and will be supported by Worcester. In 2021, I want to bring world championship boxing to the new baseball stadium (Polar Park, the future home of the Worcester Red Sox, Triple A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox) across the street that will seat 10,000.”

“Saturday, Marso 28 is going to be a night full of exciting action headlined by Mexican knockout artist Luis Nery beginning his path toward a world title at super bantamweight against an undefeated Mexican contender in Aaron Alameda,”Ingon ni Tom Brown, Presidente sa TGB Promotions. “Adding in the heavyweight showdown between Otto Wallin and Lucas Browne, plus a rematch of young light heavyweights Joseph George and Marcos Escudero, fight night at Park MGM in Las Vegas is sure to deliver explosive battles from start to finish.”

Nery (30-0, 24 KOs) is a power puncher who has stopped his last 11 opponents and 15 sa iyang katapusan nga 16. The 25-year-old southpaw from Tijuana, Mexico scored a dominant stoppage victory over former champion McJoe Arroyo in March and returned in July to stop former champion Juan Carlos Payano. He scored a TKO victory over Shinsuke Yamanaka to win the bantamweight world title in 2018 and will now move up to 122 pounds to seek a world title in a second weight class.

“I’m excited to fight on SHOWTIME and I’m planning on another knockout victory to prove to everyone that I’m one of the kings of the super bantamweight division,” said Nery. “I know that I can knock out any fighter at 118 o 122 libra, and I’m hungrier than ever to prove that I’m one of boxing’s great Mexican champions. My goal is to continue to put on great performances for the fans and I’m ready to fight anyone who is willing to step up to the challenge.”

Representing Sonora, Mexico, Alameda (25-0, 13 KOs) is unbeaten since turning pro in 2014 after a strong amateur career, and will step up in competition as he faces Nery for a shot at a world title bout. The 26-year-old is ranked No. 12 by the WBC and most recently knocked out Jordan Escobar in April 2019, after three victories in 2018. Alameda will fight in the U.S. for the second time when he enters the ring on March 28, after scoring a body shot knockout over Andre Wilson in a January 2016 bout in Los Angeles.

“I’m very excited to be making my SHOWTIME debut in the main event against a great fighter,” said Alameda. “All of the years of training and fighting have brought me to this fight on March 28. Nery is a Mexican warrior like myself and I can’t wait to lock horns with him and give the fans great action all the way until the final bell.”

The 29-year-old Wallin (20-1, 13 KOs) will return to the ring in Las Vegas, where he nearly defeated former unified heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in September, when he opened up a gruesome cut over Fury’s right eye with a legal punch that nearly halted the fight. While Wallin dropped the decision, he proved his mettle as a potential future heavyweight champion. Representing his native Sundsvall, Sweden, Wallin trains in New York with former champion Joey Gamache. Wallin’s last fight in Las Vegas was his second in the U.S., after his debut on SHOWTIME in April ended in a no contest because of a cut suffered by his opponent in the first round.

Fighting out of New South Wales, Australia, Browne (29-2, 25 KOs) most recently scored a knockout victory over John Hopoate in November, his second win of 2019. He’s won four of his last five bouts, with his only career losses coming to Dillian Whyte and David Allen in the U.K. Browne won his first 25 pro away, including a stoppage of Ruslan Chagaev in 2016 to capture a WBA Heavyweight Championship. He will be making his U.S. debut.

George (10-0, 6 KOs) emerged victorious in a battle of then unbeaten fighters when he faced Escudero on SHOWTIME in November, taking a split-decision victory. The 30-year-old didn’t start boxing until he was 19 and is managed by Washington Redskins All-Pro offensive lineman Trent Williams, and trained in Houston by NFL All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson and James Cooper. George will look to transition from prospect to contender by defeating Escudero again on March 28.

Escudero (10-1, 9 KOs) will look to bounce back and even the score against George, and in turn bolster his own position in the light heavyweight division. The 26-year-old from Buenos Aires, Argentina has fought primarily in the U.S. since turning pro in 2017. His amateur career saw him become a national champion in Argentina in 2014 and represent his country in the Pan-Am Games in 2015. Escudero currently trains in Miami and scored three stoppage wins in 2019 before facing George for the first time.

1988 Ang Olympic gold medalist nga si “Walay Kaluoy” nga si Ray Mercer Mihinumdom sa iyang kasinatian sa Olympic

Colorado Springs, Lap. (Pebrero 11, 2020) – Katloan ug duha ka tuig human siya nakakuha og Olympic gold medal, "Walay kaluoy" Ray Mercer malipayong nahinumdom sa iyang kasinatian sa Olympic sama sa miaging bulan. Mercer, kinsa mao lamang ang American heavyweight champion nga nakapatumba sa tanan niyang mga kaatbang sa Olympic, nahimong world heavyweight champion isip usa ka propesyonal alang sa among "heavyweight double."

Para sa Mercer, nagsugod ang tanan sa Germany, diin ang iyang U.S. Ang yunit sa kasundalohan gibase. Nagtanyag ug higayon nga makalikay sa 30 ka adlaw nga pag-ehersisyo sa uma, Gidawat ni Mercer ang tanyag nga magsilbi nga sparring partner alang sa heavyweight boxing champion sa post. Bisan pa sa wala pa magsul-ob og usa ka parisan sa gwantes kaniadto, Si Mercer usa ka dali nga nagkat-on nga natural nga kusgan, ug siya paspas nga milambo ngadto sa 1985 U.S. Army ug Inter-service heavyweight champion.

Ang World Class Athlete Program (WCAP), diin ang mga kwalipikado nga mga atleta adunay higayon nga magbansay sa full-time alang sa Olympics, wala pa kaniadto, ni ang Olympic qualifier nga mga lagda karon. Gipildi ni Mercer ang umaabot nga world heavyweight championTommy Morrison sa opening round sa 1988 Olympic Trials ug laing umaabot nga world heavyweight titlist, Michael Bentt (5-0) sa championship final. Sa 1988 USA Olympic Box-offs sa sikat nga Caesars Pala

ce sa Las Vegas, Si Mercer nakadaog og split decision (3-2) mahitungod ni Bentt, apan si Mercer kuwalipikado na nga moaway sa Olympic Games pinaagi sa pagka U.S. Kampeon sa Armed Forces.

“Sa dihang naa ko sa Army, Kinahanglan kong modaog sa serbisyo, pagmintinar sa mga butang, ug adto sa sunod nga lakang,"Nahinumdom si Mercer. "Kinahanglan nakong pildihon ang pipila ka maayong mga manggugubat sa akong pagpadulong sa Olympics, ug naa ko sa labing maayong porma sa akong kinabuhi. Adunay mas daghang disiplina sa mga amateur kaysa sa mga propesyonal nga ranggo. Ang katapusang tuig sa wala pa ang Olympics, Nibiya ko sa akong unit sa balay, mibiyahe ug daghan aron makig-away, ug nagpabilin sa balay sa akong tigbansay imbes nga magpuyo sa baraks.

Gihimo ni Mercer ang kasaysayan sa 1988 Olympics sa Seoul, South Korea, sa dihang nahimo siya ug nagpabilin nga bugtong Olympic heavyweight champion gikan sa Estados Unidos nga naka-knockout sa tanan niyang upat ka mga kaatbang:  Rudolf Gavenciak (Czechoslovakia – RSC3), Luigi Gaudiano(Italy - KO1), Arnond Vasnderlyde (Netherlands – RSC2) ugMaayong Hyun Man (South Korean – KO1).

“Nahibal-an nako nga kinahanglan nakong ma-knockout ang South Korean sa final,"Miangkon si Mercer. "Gusto lang nako nga buhaton ang akong mahimo aron mahimong Olympic gold medalist. Wala ko maghunahuna nga naggamit ako og jab.

“Ang pagdaog sa bulawang medalya sa Olympic miresulta sa pipila ka dagkong kausaban alang kanako. Nahimo kong usa ka tanyag, usa ka ngalan sa panimalay, ug kini nagtugot kanako nga makakwarta isip usa ka propesyonal. Ang labing kaayo nga butang nga nahitabo kanako mao ang pagdaog sa bulawan nga medalya sa Olympic, labaw pa sa pagdaog sa world title isip usa ka pro. Walay ikumpara sa pagkahimong Olympic gold medalist. Natuman nako akong damgo. Wala gyud ko nagdamgo nga mahimong pro, hantod sa nakadaog kog gold medal.

“Importante gyud nga makadaog nianang bulawan nga medalya. Nakig-away ko sa akong kasingkasing; walay kwarta nga naapil, grabe kaayo nga gisaulog niadtong gabhiona (human makadaog og bulawang medalya) nga nawala akong medalya sulod sa pipila ka oras. Natuman na ang akong damgo, nangurog akong mga kamot, ug nawala akong medalya. Unsa ka gabii!"

Mercer nagtanyag sa mga miyembro sa 2020 USA Boxing Olympic Qualification Team usa ka gamay nga tambag, “Padayon nga mag-away, sunda ang imong damgo ug buhata kanang kataposang lakang.”

Mercer, kinsa natawo sa Jacksonville, Florida, naghimo sa iyang gipaabot nga pro debut sa 1989, pagpahunongJesse McGhee sa ikatulong hugna sa ilang away sa Atlantic City. "Walay kaluoy" ang nakadaog sa iyang una 18 pro away, lakip ang ikasiyam nga hugna nga knockout saFrancisco Damiani, gisundan sa usa ka malampuson nga depensa batok kang Morrison, nga nahunong sa ikalimang hugna.

Atol sa iyang 19 ka tuig nga pro career, Gi-compile ni Mercer ang usa ka 36-7-1 (26 KOs) nga rekord, gipildi ang upat ka world champion sa Damiani, Morrison, Tim Witherspoon ugOssie Ocasio.  Lima sa iyang walo ka mga kapildihan sa karera mao ang mga kampiyon sa kalibutan: Lennox LewisWladimir Klitschko,Larry HolmesEvander Holyfield ugShannon Briggs

"Si Ray nagrepresentar sa tanan nga nakapahimo sa USA Boxing nga mapahitas-on,"MiingonChris Cugliari, Direktor sa USA Boxing Alumni Association. “Ingon usa ka beterano sa Army, Olympic gold medalist, ug heavyweight champion sa kalibutan, gipakita niya ang kamaayo ug propesyonalismo nga nagpakita sa labing kaayo nga gitanyag sa USA Boxing.

USA Boxing Alumni Association

Ang talagsaong amateur boxing career ni Mercer naglakip usab sa classic match-up batok sa Cuban great ug three-time Olympic gold medalist., Felix Savon, sa USA vs. Duha ka duwa sa Cuba, diin si Mercer makaduha nga nag-stagger sa Savon, kinsa naluwas nga walay dugang kadaot tungod lamang kay ang Cuban nga referee mihimo ug kwestyonableng interbensyon nga naghatag ug panahon sa iyang katagilungsod nga makarekober ug usa ka kontrobersyal 2-1 kadaugan.

“Ug gihatagan ko niya ug walo ka ihap nga wala’y hinungdan,” Dugang pa ni Mercer. “Gipildi nako kanang tawhana ug nahibalo siya niini. Nagkasuod gihapon mi bisag dili siya mo-english. Naa siyay amigo nga naghubad ug nagkakontakay mi sa Facebook. Ganahan mi sa usag usa.”

Karon, Nagtukod si Mercer og usa ka charity sa balay sa North Carolina, nga maglakip sa libreng boxing clinics, apan, nga mas importante, ihatag balik sa komunidad ug pagtudlo sa mga batan-on, labi na sa mga gi-bully, ang mga kahanas nga ilang gikinahanglan aron makaadto sa tinuod nga kalibutan.

Si Ray Mercer nakaabot sa kinatumyan kaduha sa boksing isip Olympic gold medalist ug world heavyweight champion isip propesyonal. Dili kaayo hugaw alang sa usa ka tawo nga dili gyud gusto nga mag-box.

“Ang boksing nagluwas sa akong kinabuhi,"Mitapos si Mercer. "Dili nako mahanduraw ang akong kinabuhi kung wala ang boksing, siguradong dili kini managsama.

"Gibati ko nga ingon sa paglupad sa ilawom sa radar. Naa na ako didto uban ang tanan nga nagkataas nga palaabuton. Gikan ako sa usa ka gamay nga lungsod busa wala gyud ako nagtan-aw. Nabatyagan ko nga kinahanglan ko magbansay kaduha sa labing kadaghan sama sa kasagaran nga manlalaban nga mag-uban sa parehas nga panag-istoryahanay kaysa niining mga lalaki.

Kini ang tanan bahin sa negosyo dinhi sa Las Vegas, ug kini maayo. Nakit-an na ako sa daghang mga bantog nga mga manggugubat ug nagpili daghang mga maayo nga mga tip.



"Si Adam Lopez usa ka lig-on nga Latino manlalaban nga magdala sa iyang dula nga 'A', ug siya adunay mapamatud-an. Daghang kasinatian niya. Nakig-uban siya sa daghang mga batid nga mga batan-on ug karon nga mga kampeon sa kalibutan. Kini ang klase sa away nga kinahanglan nakong buhaton sa sunod nga lakang padulong sa pagkahimong usa ka kampeon sa kalibutan.



“Usa ko ka agresibo nga boksingero nga gusto nga magbutang og daghang suntok. Gihimo nako nga gimingaw ang akong kontra ug gipabayaran ko sila. Aksyon ko tanan. Usa ko ka hayop! Andam kong moadto sa layo, apan ang akong kinaugalingon nga katuyoan mao ang pagpahawa kaniya gikan didto, aron makuha ang kadaugan. ”

I-klik HERE for Photos from Team Cobbs

LAS VEGAS, NV (Pebrero 10, 2020)Undefeated NABF Welterweight Champion Blair "ang flair" cobbs (14-0-1, 10 KOs) hosted a Las Vegas media workout Saturday in preparation for his upcoming bout against Samuel Kotey (23-2, 16 KOs) which takes place Friday, Pebrero 14 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

Here is what Cobbs had to say Saturday from the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame sa Las Vegas:


BLAIR COBBS


“This camp has been amazing. I’ve had nothing but the greatest sparring partners to get prepared for this upcoming bout. Ang akong tigbansay Brandon Woods has been sharpening up my tools and I’m ready to preform at my best on fight night. Everyone can expect to see the best Blair “The Flair” Cobbs possible. This is a sport filled with entertainment and I call myself “The most exciting man in Boxing”.


“On Valentines Day, I’m going to steal the show and all the fans watching on DAZN will see an amazing performance from me. Akong kontra, Samuel Kotey, is a tough hombre who is coming to win, but I have other plans for him. There is nothing he can do that will outmatch my skill and desire to win this fight.”


“It’s been a wonderful experience having the Mexican fans behind me being that they know that’s where I first learned how to box when I fled to Guadalajara, Mexico. It’s been a hell of a journey coming back to the United States from Mexico, where I learned to fight the Mexican style, always throwing big shots to entertain the fans. Fighting in the amateurs in Mexico, is like fighting in the pros. Sometimes we didn’t use headgear. It was crazy, but it made me the fighter I am today.”

USA Boxing featherweight Andrea Medina closing in on 2020 Olympic spot in Tokyo

Colorado Springs, Lap. (Pebrero 10, 2020) – Coming off consecutive runner-up finishes in major tournaments, USA Boxing featherweightAndrea Medina is within one tournament of representing her country in the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

Sa Disyembre, the 20-year-old Medina lost a split decision toLupe Gutierrez sa 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing, ug 4-1 saIulia Tsyplakova (Ukraine) last month at the Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria. The Chula Vista, California boxer was recently named to USA Boxing’s Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Boxing Qualification Team.

“Placing second at the trials only made me more eager to get that Olympic Qualification spot,” Medina said. “I just wanted to show USA Boxing that I was the one to represent at 57 kilograms. I am only going to get better and I cannot wait to show the world everything that I got.

“For it (Strandja) being my first ever international tournament, I was very proud of how far I got in the tournament and getting that silver medal. I was very happy with all my performances and I am excited to get back to work on things I need to improve on. Aside from all that, going to a different country was awesome and I can’t wait to travel more doing what I love the most.”

Medina and her Team USA stablemates are currently training in Colorado Springs at the state-of-the-art United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center. To qualify for participation in this year’s Olympic Games, Medina needs to finish among the top three in the 57-kilogram (125 lbs.) division at the America’s Qualification Tournament, March 26-April 3, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. One final opportunity at the World Qualifier in Paris, France, in which she could qualify for the Olympics by placing among the top five.

“It means the world to me to be on the USA Boxing Olympic Qualification Team,” Medina added. “It is everything I have been working for since I started competing at eight years old and I cannot believe the Olympic Games are only in a few months. Making history in San Diego by being the first person to make the Olympic Team for boxing is a big deal for my family, my city and myself. I cannot express how excited I am to have come this far, but there is still so much to do, and I am ready.

“I feel that I work better under pressure and I truly believe that I will qualify for Tokyo, whether it be in Argentina or France, but my main goal, karon, is to train hard to get that gold in Argentina.”

Medina believes her major strength inside the ring is her ability to adjust during a fight. She prefers fighting on the outside, but she can brawl if needed, because she enjoys throwing a lot of power punches.

Medina also realizes that she’s in a prime place regarding the rising popularity of female boxing, following in the USA Boxing footsteps of two-time Olympic gold medalistClaressa Shields and Olympic bronze medalistMarlen Esparza, along with past USA Olympians such asQueen Underwood ugMikaela Mayer.

“Female boxing is only going to get bigger,” Medina predicted. “Being a female fighter today means a lot to me, because I have been doing this for 15 ka tuig na karon, and seeing it grow year after year only shows how strong females are and what we can accomplish. I predict that, in the future, boxing will not be seen as a man’s sport, but will be neutral for both men and women.”

Competing at the Olympics has been a life-long dream for Medina, but she also has plans for her immediate future.

“Reaching the Olympics has been my main goal throughout my boxing career,” Andrea remarked, “so now that it is so close makes me want to work even harder. Other goals of mine are to graduate from college and get my own condominium, which I will do after all this is over.

“I plan on turning pro after the Olympics, most likely at the beginning or middle of 2021, so I can finish school and give my body some rest and recovery.”

Andrea Medina is so close to being an Olympian and everything associated with that accomplishment that she can practically reach out and feel it. Just one more step, whether in Buenos Aires or Paris, and it’ll be mission accomplished for her.

Ang mga tiket alang sa live event, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Kings Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased through www.pplcenter.com/events (direct linkHERE).

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from the Renaissance Allentown Hotel:

GARY RUSSELL JR.

“Kami adunay usa ka dako nga training camp. I have my younger brothers on the card with me and in camp, pushing me every day. Kita andam, focused and hungry.

Tug will be the best he possibly can be because he knows he’s facing one of the best fighters in the world. He has everything to gain and nothing to lose. He’s going to leave it all on the line.

I think Tug is a lot more technically sound than a lot of the guys who I have competed against. He’s another guy with everything to gain and nothing to lose, so I’m anticipating a tough fight.

If it were up to me, I’d be facing Leo Santa Cruz or Gervonta Davis, but this is what I have to face. I’m here to defend my title in style once again.

It’s amazing to watch my younger brothers and to have them on the same card. I’m excited to work their corners. There’s never been a set of three brothers to become world champions, and I think we’ll do that real soon. They’re both extremely talented and hungry. I expect them to be better than me by the time they’re at this point in their careers.

I was the first fighter to turn pro on ShoBox, and I went on to win my title on SHOWTIME. The fact that we’re still doing it now speaks wonders. I work great with their team and I’m grateful to be in this position.

You should expect to see what you always see with me. Boxing at its best. A great deal of ring generalship. Good boxing IQ. Hand speed. Punching power. The total package as a fighter. Ingon sa usa ka butang sa kamatuoran, I’m trying to figure out why I’m not on the pound for pound list given all of that. That’s an issue.

TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR

“Excited na kaayo ko alang sa niini nga away. It’s going to be a good fight for the fans. Gary Russell Jr. is a great champion, but watch on Saturday night, when I become the new featherweight world champion.

I just have to be better than Gary Russell on Saturday night. The past experience won’t matter. If he thinks I’m too inexperienced for this fight, he is going to be in for a surprise Saturday.

I know that I’m the underdog, but that doesn’t affect me. I don’t care if I’m the favorite or the underdog.

I’m not worried about any ring rust. I’ve worked so hard in the ring during training camp to make sure I’m the best I’ve ever been.

Working with Ismael Salas has been very good for me and I think it’s taken me to another level in my career. All of skills, all of my power and speed, it will all be with me on Saturday. I just have to put it together for my best performance.

I’m very ready for this fight. I want to be the first WBC featherweight champion in history from Mongolia. Ako andam, you just need to watch on Saturday.

Guillermo Rigondeaux

Bantamweight is my division. I have no issues making that weight. I want to thank my team for getting me prepared and getting me to this position. All that’s left is to fight Saturday night.

I want to also thank Ronnie Shields for how he has prepared me for this fight. It’s been a great training camp and I can’t wait to step into the ring and become champion again.

“Akong gibati 100% and I believe that bantamweight has always been my best weight. I did well at 122 libra, so i stayed there. My plan now is to dominate this division.

Me and Ronnie Shields have great chemistry and worked well together. Ronnie is a great trainer and I’m looking forward to a long run that we’re going to have together.

I’m going to be phenomenal in the ring. I’m going to unify 118 pounds just like I did at 122 libra. I’m excited to get started.

My strategy will depend on the fight that Solis brings. I’m a veteran in this sport, dating back to the amateurs, so I’m used to seeing so many different styles. I’m to fight the way that gives me the best chance to win.

LIBORIO SOLIS

Thank you very much to my team who has backed me and supported me leading up to this fight. I’m very grateful for this opportunity. My opponent has been a great champion and I’m very excited to be here to fight him.

This is obviously going to be a great fight. I’m a warrior who always comes to fight. He can pick his strategy however he wants. But I just want to get in there and put my skills on display.

I was already a champion in one division and I had a fight taken on the scorecards at bantamweight, or else i would already be a two-division champion.

Saturday is going to be different than my last fights. Both me and Guillermo give our heart and soul and we’re going to fight until the best man wins. I’m not leaving that ring without a championship.

I’m going to come with everything on Saturday. I come to fight and I come to win. I’m sure Guillermo is the same. The difference will be my determination to win this fight.

I don’t think anyone’s weight or which division we fought at in the past will be an advantage. I’m sure he could have always fought at 118. The person with the advantage is who wants it more.

JAIME ARBOLEDA

I want to thank all the great champions up on this stage and everyone on my team who made this fight happen. This opportunity has been a long time coming and I’ve been preparing hard to make the most out of it.

“Sa Sabado, I’m very confident that this is going to be a great fight and end in a knockout. I’m prepared and I know that I’m going to win.

This is a great chance to get one step closer to my dream of becoming a world champion. I know what I have to do and I’ve prepared every day to make sure that I fight my best on Saturday night.

We have a lot of respect for each other and we’re looking forward to Saturday night. Don’t miss this card because it’s going to be action packed from start to finish.

Jayson Velez

I’m happy to be here again and back in a big fight. My last time fighting on SHOWTIME was in 2012 and I’m very thankful for this opportunity to compete on this stage once again.

I’m blessed to be able to do what I do every day. I’ve fought professionally since 2007. This is the dream that every boxer has. When I win on Saturday, I’ll be the mandatory for the belt and that’s the opportunity that I want.

I’ve been training hard for this fight and I’m ready. I’ve won three fights in a row heading into a great fight between two hungry fighters. We want to add each other to our record and I believe that this fight is ending in knockout.

Don’t miss this fight because this is going to be great. There’s going to be a lot of action. Every time I step into the ring, modaog o mawad-an sa, I will leave everything in there. I fight with my heart and I fight for Puerto Rico.
