CORONA, Califòrnia. – May 10, 2019 – Undefeated prospect Ruben Villa stayed true to his calm and consistent style, recording a unanimous decision over Luis Alberto Lopez in his first main-event appearance onShoBox: La Nova GeneracióFriday from Omega Products Events Center in Corona, Califòrnia.
The judges’ scorecards read 98-92, 97-93 i 96-94 in the featherweight bout, although all threeShoBoxcommentators had Villa winning each round except the 10º ronda, giving the final round to Lopez (17-2, 8 KOs) in a fight that saw nearly 1,400 punches thrown.
“I give myself a ‘C’ grade,” said Villa, making his second consecutiveShoBox aparença. “He was a tough opponent and had a real awkward style and wasn’t really a boxer. It took me awhile to adjust to him and it was hard not to get frustrated.”
Taken the 10-round distance for the first time in his career, the 22-year-old Villa (16-0, 5 KOs) de Salinas, Qualif., took the first two rounds to get used to the top-15 ranked contender Lopez’s awkward style before he began landing heavy body shots to dominate the third round.
In the seventh round, Villa out-jabbed Lopez and continued the onslaught of body punches in the ninth round, but was not able to get the knockout against the game Lopez.
“I agreed with the judges’ scorecards,” the two-time National Golden Gloves Amateur Champion Villa said. “I still got the unanimous decision win so I have no problem with that. I can take a whole lot from this fight tonight.”
Lopez was coming off an upset victory over Ray Ximenez in his U.S. debut in February but could not repeat the feat against the highly regarded Villa.
“I hit him with the better shots,” Lopez said. “I was consistently throwing and landing the power shots while he was just jabbing. Em vaig sentir bé. It’s a complicated to fight a lefty, but I thought I landed the punches that scored.”
En la baralla co-estel·lar, undefeated 21-year-old rising prospect Michael Dutchover (13-0, 10 KOs) made quick work of late replacement Rosekie Cristobal (15-4, 11 KOs) de Filipines, connecting on a right-left combination to Cristobal’s liver that sent him to both knees before being counted out by referee Zachary Young at 1:46 of the first round of a scheduled eight-round super lightweight contest.
En el seu ShoBox debut, Dutchover of Santa Fe Springs, Qualif., by way of Midland, Texas, recorded six body connects among his 11 landed power punches in the fight that lasted just 109 segon.
“I have to be able to adjust,” said Dutchover, a runner-up at the 2016 National Golden Gloves and a bronze medalist in the 2016 Preolímpic. “I was given a tall lefty on short notice due to the original opponent dropping out. Part of being a professional is being able to adapt. It’s nothing I haven’t seen before. I’ve seen pretty much every style through the amateurs and now during sparring sessions as a pro.”
Dutchover added: “I was patient and waited for the open shots. He wasn’t covering up the body so that was my target. The plan from the beginning was to break him down. I’m just happy I was able to end it early and give the fans something to talk about.”
En la baralla d'obertura de la tripleta, undefeated bantamweight prospect Saul Sanchez (12-0, 7 KOs) recorded an eighth-round knockout against Brandon Benitez (14-2, 6 KOs) in an entertaining and all-action fight.
After an even first round, Sanchez and Benitez continued to trade shots over the first three rounds before Benitez’s legs began to betray him and he tired midway through the fourth, slowing the pace of the fight considerably. Sánchez, of North Hollywood, Qualif., landed three huge punches that staggered Benitez as the fourth round came to a close, stoking the undefeated prospect with confidence as the fight reached progressed to the later rounds.
In the seventh round, Mexico’s Benitez suffered an injury over his right eye from a Sanchez punch, and referee Raul Caiz Jr. warned Benitez prior to the eight round to protect himself. At the start of the eighth round, a flush right hand by the 21-year-old Sanchez connected cleanly and Caiz Jr. stepped in and stopped the fight after just 18 segon.
“I felt strong throughout the fight,"Va dir Sánchez. “Benitez was tough so I had to be careful and aggressive at the same time. I know I hurt him a handful of times, but I know I can do better. My conditioning was great. I was ready to go the distance.”
Sanchez out-landed the 21-year-old Benitez 145-94 en general i 123-78 in power connects while landing 42 percent of his power shots to Benitez’s 29 per cent.
“I was responding well in every round,” said Benitez from Queretaro, Mèxic. “I don’t know why the referee stopped it. I had a lot more left. I’m just disappointed I wasn’t allowed to finish the fight.”
Middleweight contender and 2018 champion ofThe Contenderchampion Brandon Adams was interviewed during Friday’s telecast to discuss his June 29 SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®showdown with undefeated Jermall Charlo, which was announced earlier on Friday.
“I’m a new face,” Adams told Hall of Famer Steve Farhood. “I’m in the top 10. I’m in the discussion and I think that’s enough to shake everything up. The guy that comes out to nowhere is a great story for boxing.
“I hope I get the best Charlo because I’m bringing the best ‘Cannon.’ I’m very fan friendly and I definitely go for the kill. When I get in the ring I like to entertain myself. I’m very much looking forward to fighting Charlo. It’s going to be exciting.”

“There has been a long line of great American heavyweight champions who represented our country with pride, strength and honor in the ring,” Said Wilder. “I take the responsibility very seriously to pick up where they left off and continue to show every young fighter who looks up to me, that they one day can be the heavyweight champion of the world.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Volta. (Maig 6, 2019) – Boxa dels EUA pes mitjà troy Isley arriba de la victòria més important de la seva jove carrera, quan va derrotar el 2016 Medallista d'or olímpic, de Cuba Arlen López, a la recent eliminatòria dels Jocs Panamericans a Managua, Nicaragua.
López va servir de baròmetre positiu per a Isley pel que fa al seu potencial 2020 carrera olímpica. “Vencer a López és la meva victòria més gran fins ara,” Isley va admetre. “Va guanyar una medalla d'or als últims Jocs Olímpics. Vaig venjar la meva pèrdua amb ell 2017. Gairebé vam lluitar a The Continentals, però va perdre als quarts de final, i vaig perdre a les semifinals. Ens podríem enfrontar de nou al juliol als Jocs Panamericans.”
En 2017, Isley va aconseguir una medalla d'or als Campionats del Món Elite, que va suposar la primera per a un boxejador d'elit nord-americà en sis anys. Ha avançat any rere any, prenent els màxims honors a la 2012 & 2013 Campionats Nacionals de PAL, 2014 Jocs Olímpics nacionals juvenils, 2016 & 2017 Campionats Nacionals Elit. Fins al moment d'aquest any, a més de guanyar a la qualificació dels Jocs Panamericans, també va guanyar l'or al Torneig Strandja de Bulgària.
Assoliments no massa cutre per a un nen a qui realment no li agradava la boxa, sobretot en comparació amb el futbol, que era el seu esport preferit de gran.
“Quan vaig tornar al gimnàs, vaig entrenar, Alexandria (Virginia) Club de Boxa,” Entrenador ajudant de la selecció dels EUA Kay Koromba recordat,” necessitaven ajuda amb un nen petit, troy Isley. Vaig tenir una conversa senzilla amb ell. Va dir que tornaria al gimnàs si hi fos entrenant. No vaig tornar durant una estona i ell no va tornar. Finalment em vaig fer càrrec del gimnàs quan l'entrenador va marxar, i Troia va tornar.
“Troy és amiga Keyshawn Davés (El número de boxa dels EUA. 1-classificat lleuger). Tots dos viuen a Virgínia (Troia a Alexandria, Keyshawn a Newport) i entrena amb mi a l'Alexandria Boxing Club, quan no vivim ni entrenem a Colorado Springs. Van lluitar de petits i es van fer bons amics. Tots els altres boxejadors aquí els miren.”
“Jo només era 8 i al principi no m'agradava molt la boxa,” Isley, ara de 20 anys, va parlar de la seva introducció a la boxa amateur. “M'interessen més els esports d'equip com el futbol, però vaig deixar la boxa quan vaig optar per competir als Box-Offs. Només volia ser un nen i no pots jugar a boxa. Vaig tornar al gimnàs i vaig colpejar a tothom. L'entrenador Kay va dir al meu pare que em podria convertir en campió nacional, i això em va donar molta autoestima.”
Un boxejador que es descriu a si mateix, Isley és una intel·ligent, boxejador ben parlat amb ulls posats en el futur, fora de la boxa, fent cursos de negocis en línia a través de la Universitat DeVry. “Ho puc fer tot,” va oferir sobre el seu estil de boxa. “Estic treballant per utilitzar més cops per ser un millor boxejador complet. El cop posa en marxa l'ofensa. Estic treballant en el meu jab perquè pots guanyar baralles amb un jab.”
Els promotors estan fent cua per presentar les seves empreses per fitxar Isley, que té un pla definitiu que implica fer el 2020 Equip Olímpic de Boxa dels Estats Units, medalla al Japó, i després convertir-se en professional.
“Els Jocs Olímpics només falta un any,” va assenyalar Isley. “Estic a prop de Keyshawn i Shakur(Stevenson, 2016 Medalla de plata olímpica i an 11-0 perspectiva professional). Entrenar amb ells ens facilita les coses a tots. Ens conduïm i entrenem contra diferents estils. Sempre estic agafant coses noves. Ens ajudem mútuament entrenant, combat, i només parlant. Sempre estem junts, ja sigui a Alexandria o a Colorado Springs. Shakur encara hi va per fer un bon sparring.
“Shakur ens explica molt sobre les seves experiències als Jocs Olímpics i ara com a professional. Keyshawn i jo sempre hem parlat d'estar junts a l'equip olímpic de boxa dels EUA. Seguim treballant dur i mantenint-nos concentrats. Ha estat el nostre somni.”
Els somnis es fan realitat però, primer, Isley es prepara per als Jocs Panamericans i, possiblement, el seu partit de goma amb el medallista d'or olímpic defensor, López.
