San Juan, PUERTO RICO – March 4, 2021 – Former world title challenger Brandon Adams scored the biggest win of his career with a stunning eighth-round technical knockout to upset blue-chip rising star Serhii Bohachuk in the main event of Ring City USA’s inaugural 2021 event from Felix Pagan Pintor Gym in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, and live on NBC Sports Network.

Despite flashing athleticism and quick hands throughout the fight, Adams (23-3, 15 KOS) was down on all three scorecards (68-64 x2, 69-63) at the time of the stoppage. The 31-year-old lost all three rounds heading into the eighth frame when he unleashed a perfectly placed counterpunch that hurt Bohachuk which set up the opportunity to land a sensational left hook that sent Bohachuk to the canvas for the first time in his professional career.

”Han var en hård fyr,”Sagde Adams. “He brought another side out of me that I knew was inside. I had to dig in deep tonight and use all the strength that I had to connect with one of those punches from the cannon.”

Adams, who hails from Watts, California, is the first fighter to return to the Ring City USA series on NBC Sports Network since its inception in November 2020. In two outings on the Thursday night boxing series, he has scored two emphatic knockouts in main event performances. Adams’ matchup with Bohachuck was originally scheduled for December but his opponent was forced to withdraw after testing positive for COVID-19. Adams went on to stop Sonny Duversonne in the second round of that event at Wild Card Boxing Club in Los Angeles.

“It was real tough fighting in there tonight,” continued Adams. “The ring was wet; the ref was against me tonight. It was an uphill battle. I am an explosive fighter and I couldn’t take advantage of that because I didn’t have my legs under me because the ring was wet. But even though I was irritated, the show must go on. I am a pro. I have to figure out how to get the W and that’s what I had to do. I am grateful for the win. I loved Puerto Rico, everyone out here embraced me with love.”

Bohachuk, who is originally from Vinitza, Ukraine, and now resides in Los Angeles, entered the fight with a pristine professional record, highlighted by his 100% knockout percentage through 18 slagsmål. The 25-year-old dropped the first round on all three score cards but went on to control the pace against the veteran Adams for most of the fight by cutting off the ring and exhibiting steady body work.

“I thought he was dominating the fight,” said Bohachuk’s head trainer Manny Robles. “I told him to watch out for that left hook. I told him if he took away that left hook then he would control the fight. It takes a couple of rounds for Serhii to get warmed up, but he looked good and his defense was actually really improving until that knockout.”

I aftenens co-main event, super featherweight prospectBryan Chevalier (15-1-1, 12 KOS) af Bayamon, Puerto Rico, scored an impressive third-round knockout againstCarlos Zambrano (26-2, 11 KOS). Chevalier, 26, returned to the ring following a 15-month layoff yet showed no signs of ring rust as he scored a quick knockdown in the first round. I tredje runde, he scored back-to-back knockdowns, highlighted by a thudding left hand to the midsection that sent Peru’s Zambrano to the canvas and unable to beat the count.

“I had the height and youth advantage tonight, but he had the experience,” said Chevalier. “I had to figure out what he was going to bring and adapt in order to get the victory. Jeg er meget tilfreds med min præstation. I am the best 126-pounder in all of Puerto Rico.”

Opening the telecast on NBC Sports Network, Puerto RicoDanielito Zorrilla (15-0, 11 KOS) and Kazakhstan’sRuslan Madiyev (13-2, 5 KOS) engaged in an exciting back-and-forth battle. The 28-year-old Madiyev brought the fight to Zorilla with relentless pressure while the tactical Zorilla countered well. I femte runde, Madiyev was docked a point for a punch behind the head and at 1:16 of the eighth round, referee Janny Gomez called a halt to the bout due to another punch behind the head, which was deemed an accidental foul. The 27-year-old Zorrilla earned a technical decision victory as two of the scorecards favored the Puerto Rican (77-75, 77-74) while the third was tallied in favor of Madiyev (76-73). Ring City’s unofficial scorer Steve Smoger saw the fight 76-75 in favor of Zorrilla.

“Ruslan was just getting his groove,” said head trainer Joel Diaz after the fight. “He was getting stronger after the fifth round and Zorrilla was getting tired. He kept hugging Ruslan during most of the fight. Personligt, I think Zorrilla wanted out of the fight.”

Madiyev exited the ring quickly upon the decision being announced but Diaz voiced his opinion about the end of the bout.

“He wasn’t hurt, he’s a good actor,” continued Diaz. “Zorrilla should be a telenovela actor. We were winning that fight, and this isn’t fair for my fighter because he put in the work. But what can you do? We gotta keep moving forward.”

Danielito Zorrilla is currently in stable condition and was taken to the hospital following the bout to receive routine tests.

Earlier in the evening, live in the U.S. and around the world on Twitch, Ring City USA presented three four-round fights. In the main event of the Twitch undercard, Fernando Vargas, Jr.(2-0, 2 KOS) earned his second professional win in impressive fashion, scoring a first-round technical knockout against El Salvador’sSalome Flores Torres (0-3). The 24-year-old Vargas, Jr., under the tutelage of his father – two-time super welterweight world champion Fernando Vargas, Sr., sent Torres to the canvas twice before the fight was waved off.

“With every fight, I will continue to grow and listen to my father,” said Vargas, Jr. “This was just my second pro fight. We were looking for the knockout, but the TKO is OK. I was establishing my jab to get my distance and then unleashed my left hand.”

In his hometown of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, Harold Laguna (2-0, 2 KO) worked the body early and often en route to a first-round knockout victory overDarwin Alvarez (0-1). In the first fight of the evening, Puerto Rican prospectJorge Diaz (1-0, 1 KO) picked up his first professional victory againstFelipe Munoz (0-1) via second-round knockout.

Calling all the action ringside in Puerto Rico was former two-time welterweight champion Shawn Porter joined by NBC Sports blow-by-blow commentator Bob Papa. Brian Campbell served as fight night analyst with Curran Bhatia reporting from ringside. The executive producers of tonight’s presentation ofBohachuk vs. Adams on NBC Sports Network were Eric Weinberger, Jeff Huggins & Frank Samuel. The telecast was produced by David Gibson and directed by Matt Celli.

On marts 4, ubesejret blå-chip stigende stjerneSerhii Bohachuk (18-0, 18 KOS) møder tidligere mellemvægt titel udfordrerBrandon Adams (22-3, 13 KOS) i en 10-runde super weltervægt hovedbegivenhed. To uger senere i marts 18, Ring City præsenterer det næste kapitel i Puerto Rico vs.. Mexico ring rivalisering, når tidligere super fjervægt verdens titlisteAlberto Machado(22-2, 18 KOS) står over for ubesejrede udsigter Hector Tanajara(19-0, 5 KOS) i en 10-runde letvægts hovedbegivenhed. Ring Citys begivenheder i marts sendes direkte fra Puerto Rico, da virksomheden fortsætter med at udnytte boksens rige historiske placeringer.

Kampen mellem Bohachuk og Adams var oprindeligt planlagt til toppen i december 3 Ring City-begivenhed på Wild Card Boxing Club i Los Angeles, men Bohachuk blev tvunget til at trække sig tilbage efter at have testet positivt for COVID-19.

”Vi er begejstrede for at starte 2021 med to vejkryds hovedkampe kampe i Puerto Rico,”Sagde chef for boksning Evan Rutkowski. ”Serhii Bohachuk har chompet for at komme tilbage i ringen og i marts 4 han vil møde den farligste modstander i sin karriere i Brandon Adams. Så to uger senere er vi lige tilbage på NBC Sports Network og Twitch med stigende ubesejret udsigten Hector Tanajara, der kæmper med den tidligere verdensmester Alberto Machado fra Puerto Rico i et klassisk Mexico vs.. Puerto Rico-rivaliseringskamp. ”

Den hårdtslående Bohachuk, som i øjeblikket er rangeret syvende af WBC og niende af IBF ved 154 pounds, har damprullet gennem modstand på vej til en 18-0 rekord, som alle er kommet via knockout. Træning med Manny Robles ud af Legends Boxing Academy, den 25-årige beviste sig med en knockout-sejr over Tyrone Brunson i oktober 2019. Senest, han udførte en elektrisk forestilling i september 2020 da han slog Alejandro Davila ud i seks runder. Den ukrainsk-fødte Bohachuk, som forfremmes af Tom Loeffler 360 Kampagner og Ural boksning, fortsætter med at tage den sydlige Californiens bokseverden med storm med sine dominerende forestillinger i ringen og magnetisk personlighed ud af ringen.

”Jeg ser frem til at forsvare min titel mod Brandon Adams i marts 4 i Puerto Rico på NBC Sports Network,”Sagde Bohachuk. ”Jeg vil takke Ring City og mine promotorer for denne mulighed. Dette burde være en stor kamp for fansen. Jeg er ked af, at vi ikke kunne gøre det i december, men nu taler folk endnu mere om denne kamp. Jeg stiller endnu et spændende show til fansen. ”

Efter Bohachuks positive COVID-19 resultat, Adams mødte Sonny Duversonne i Ring Citys hovedbegivenhed den dec. 3. Adams skænkede Duversonne kun få kilometer væk fra sin hjemby Watts, Calif., med en imponerende knockout-sejr i anden runde. Den kamptestede Adams, der arbejder med dygtig træner Dub Huntley, udfordrede WBC mellemvægt titelholder Jermall Charlo om titlen i 2019 efter at have besejret Shane Mosley Jr.. for at vinde Epix Television Series "The Contender." Adams kan prale af en formidabel gruppe af sparringpartnere, inklusive Shawn Porter og Gennadiy Golovkin. Adams startede konkurrencedygtig træning i en alder 19, kæmpede sin første amatørkamp i en alder 20 og blev professionel i alderen 21. Han fremmes af Banner Promotions and Tournament of Contenders.

”Jeg ser frem til at vende tilbage til Ring City i marts og vise mere vækst, når Serhii og jeg endelig kommer ind i ringen i Puerto Rico,”Sagde Adams.

Machado (22-2, 18 KOS), der kommer fra Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, vil kæmpe på øen for første gang siden 2017 og 14th tid i sin professionelle karriere. I 2017, Machado erobrede WBA's superfjervægt i verdensklasse mod Jezreel Corrales via ottende runde knockout. Machado forsvarede med succes verdensmesterskabet to gange i 2018 inden han mistede bæltet til Andrew Cancio i februar 2019. Senere i 2019, Machado rykkede op til letvægts og scorede en anden runde knockout over Luis Porozo. Den 30-årige er i øjeblikket rangeret 12th af både WBA og WBO. Southpaw gjorde sig bemærket på det Puerto Ricanske amatørkredsløb, konkurrerer i AIBA Youth World Championships og 2012 Olympiske kvalifikationer.

”Det har været en trist og tvungen hvile på grund af Coronavirus men, for mig, min krop havde brug for denne hvile. Jeg er spændt på, at jeg efter fire år vender tilbage for at kæmpe igen hjemme i Puerto Rico,”Sagde Machado. ”Jeg takker Miguel Cotto-kampagner, H2 Kampagner, Golden Boy og Ring City USA for at give mig denne mulighed for at overføre dette fantastiske kort. Hector Tanajara, Jr. er en stor fighter, der også søger at bryde igennem i letvægtsafdelingen. Jeg håber, han kommer klar og det 135 har min plads reddet, fordi jeg hører hjemme her, og den 18. marts demonstreres det. ”

Tanajara (19-0, 5 KOS) vil tage den hårdeste test i sin karriere, når han møder Machado på sit hjemmebane. Født og opvokset i San Antonio, Texas, Tanajara (19-0, 5 KOS) kommer ud af kampene i sin hjemby for første gang i sin professionelle karriere i januar 2020 da han overtog den tidligere verdensudfordrer Juan Carlos Burgos, som han slog overbevisende via enstemmig beslutning. Den 24-årige er fortsat med at stige op i de lette rækker siden han blev proff 2015. I Machado, han vil stå over for en ny udfordring ved at tage på en Southpaw fighter for første gang i sin professionelle karriere med 19 kampe. Tanajara kæmper under vejledning af den verdensberømte træner Robert Garcia.

”Jeg er begejstret for at komme tilbage i ringen,”Sagde Tanajara. ”Det har været lidt over et år, og jeg har trænet hårdt hele tiden med at være klar til den, der er. Vi fik endelig en modstander, og jeg er klar til at vise verden, hvem jeg er, og hvad jeg kan gøre med de bedste fyre i divisionen. ”

Opkald til hele handlingssiden i Puerto Rico vil være den tidligere to-gangs weltervægtsmester Shawn Porter, der får følgeskab af NBC Sports blow-by-blow-kommentator Bob Papa. Brian Campbell vil fungere som kampnatanalytiker med Curran Bhatia rapportering fra ringside.

Fuld kortoplysninger vil blive annonceret på et senere tidspunkt.

Brandon Adams Proves He Belongs on the World Stage

PHILADELPHIA / LOS ANGELES – Juli 1, 2019 -This past Saturday night, Brandon Adams announced himself as a top contender as he put on a gutsy performance against undefeated WBC World Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo in Charlo’s hometown of Houston.


The bout was the main event that and was televised live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®, in which Adams gave a strong account for himself.


Adams took some of the best shots that the power punching Charlo could throw, and not only was Adams never hurt in the fight, in the later rounds, he began to take the fight to the hometown champion.


“I was ready to risk it all. I went into the fight looking to dominate and get the stoppage victory. I knew going into the fight that is what I needed to do going into his hometown,” Said Adams.


Adams was not in the least intimidated by stepping into enemy territory, but there were a few things that happened during the fight that he did not expect which hindered his gameplan.


“The referee would not let me get low. As you saw during the fight, I was crouching down to get inside, but the referee gave me a warning for doing that. I had to think of a different way to get in there without revealing myself,” continued Adams.


Selvom, the television announcers and many on social media seemed surprised at the gutsy effort from Adams, the Watts, California native was very confident of his abilities as he entered the ring on Saturday night.


“Jeg har det godt. I knew I was capable of being on that level. I took out of the fight is that there are a few little things that I can work on and that I could have done in there. I did not know the referee would not let me get low or even let us fight in close as much as I wanted. I felt he would break us a little quickly. I also got hit in the back of the head a couple of times. Fighting in his hometown was tough.”


“I know this fight will help me better myself. Coming out of The Contender, my goal was to fight at 154 pounds, but this was a world title opportunity. I proved that I am on that level at 160, and I will now look for the best opportunities at both 154 and 160.”


“We are very proud of Brandon. He fought very hard and put on a great performance,” said Artie Pelullo of Banner Promotions. “Brandon proved that he is a world class fighter, and now the world has seen what we already knew, that he is on the elite level. There will be many doors that will be open for him to secure more big fights.”


“I was impressed on how Brandon performed,” said Jeff Wald, Co-Creator and Co-Executive Producer of The Tournament of Contenders. “He has a big career ahead of him at both 154 og 160 pounds.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Hotel ZaZa Museum District in Houston:



Charlo JERMALL



“Me and my brother Jermell have been through so much in boxing. We’ve been doing it since we were eight-years-old. To make it to this world class level and to do it for Houston, it feels great.



“It’s going to be fireworks. I’m coming for the knockout every time. Houston is hot and the heat is going to be there fight night. I’m going to do what I normally do and give the crowd excitement.



“Ronnie Shields has changed me from being a kid to realizing who I am as a man in the sport of boxing. He’s had world champions before me so I know he can judge my progression. He’s going to make sure I stay at this level.



“I’m walking in the ring and I’m handling my business. This is definitely a step up fight for Brandon Adams, but I’m only worried about what I have to do. I’m just going to prepare to be my best. We’re going to both give it our all and I will be victorious.



“Boxing is about experiences and I’m still learning. I’m going to have my ups and downs, because no fighter is perfect. But I will always prepare myself well and that’s why I’m still undefeated. I needed a fight like my last one to get even better.



“I’m going to finish this fight. My goal is to make quick work of Brandon and show him that there are levels to this. You might be a contender, but it’s another thing to be a champion.



“I get a lot of juice from the hometown crowd. Just having my family there alone is what I really need to get the nerves and excitement to where I need them. I’m going to be comfortable and I’m going to stick to my game plan. I’m not here to make mistakes.

“It’s not just what I see in Jermall, it’s what I believe in myself. The combo of working with Dub Huntley and Freddie Roach is perfect. They are both seasoned vets and they teach me something new every day.



“I didn’t expect my road to be easy because it’s never been easy for me. I’m on the road and I understand that. I’m prepared to pack my bags and go wherever I need to, so that I can become what I’m supposed to become. The best man will win on June 29.



“Before The Contender I felt that I didn’t have an opportunity to show how good I am. During the whole series it was about getting back in the ring and shaking off the rust, then showcasing who I am.



“Winning The Contender helped get me here, but I always had confidence and believed in myself since day one. In choosing to accept Charlo’s challenge, I had it in my mind that I belong here.



“It was pressure every time I fought on The Contender. Each round were quality opponents leading up to the final and all of that will prepare me for Charlo. He deserves everything he’s gotten and I respect him as a man, but I’m going to take advantage of this opportunity.



“His team didn’t have to fight me, but they chose to. I appreciate his fans coming out to support him because they’ll see both of us. Hopefully I can win some of them over.”



RONNIE SHIELDS, Charlo træner



“We’ve done a lot of studying of Brandon Adams and he’s a really good fighter. Vindende The Contender is not an easy feat. He’s truly a contender, so we have to make sure we’re working hard every single day.



“We’re not sitting back and waiting for someone to fight us. We have to continue to be busy. You still have to fight hard fights when you’re at the top and that’s what we’re doing. We’re preparing the right way.



“I’m so happy that everybody has come out to support Jermall because he’s been waiting to make his homecoming and this is it. It’s important to see everyone on his side.”



DUB HUNTLEY, Adams’ Trainer



“I hope everybody comes out for this one because it’s going to be a great fight. I’ve been with Brandon for a long time and I know that he’s going to win this fight and put on a memorable performance. Charlo is a great fighter but Brandon has all the tools necessary to come into his hometown and get the victory.”
