San Juan, PUERTO RICO - maart 4, 2021 - Voormalig wereldtitel uitdager Brandon Adams scoorde de grootste overwinning uit zijn carrière met een verbluffende technische knock-out in de achtste ronde om de rijzende ster Serhii Bohachuk van streek te maken in het main event van de inaugurele ring van Ring City USA 2021 evenement van Felix Pagan Pintor Gym in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, en live op NBC Sports Network.

Ondanks flitsende atletiek en snelle handen tijdens het gevecht, Adams (23-3, 15 KO) stond op alle drie de scorekaarten (68-64 x2, 69-63) op het moment van de stopzetting. De 31-jarige verloor alle drie de ronden op weg naar het achtste frame toen hij een perfect geplaatste tegenstoot losliet die Bohachuk pijn deed, wat de kans bood om een ​​sensationele linkse hoek te landen die Bohachuk voor het eerst in zijn professionele carrière naar het canvas stuurde..

'Hij was een stoere vent,”Zei Adams. 'Hij haalde een andere kant uit me, waarvan ik wist dat die van binnen was. Ik moest vanavond diep graven en alle kracht gebruiken die ik had om verbinding te maken met een van die stoten van het kanon. "

Adams, die uit Watts komt, Californië, is de eerste vechter die sinds de oprichting in november terugkeert naar de Ring City USA-serie op NBC Sports Network 2020. In twee uitjes op de donderdagavond boksserie, hij heeft twee nadrukkelijke knock-outs gescoord in optredens op het hoofdevenement. Adams 'match met Bohachuck was oorspronkelijk gepland voor december, maar zijn tegenstander moest zich terugtrekken na een positieve test op COVID-19. Adams stopte Sonny Duversonne in de tweede ronde van dat evenement in de Wild Card Boxing Club in Los Angeles..

'Het waren echt zware gevechten daar vanavond,”Vervolgde Adams. 'De ring was nat; de scheidsrechter was vanavond tegen mij. Het was een zware strijd. Ik ben een explosieve jager en daar kon ik geen gebruik van maken omdat ik mijn benen niet onder me had omdat de ring nat was. Maar ook al was ik geïrriteerd, de show moet doorgaan. Ik ben een pro. Ik moet uitzoeken hoe ik de W kan krijgen en dat is wat ik moest doen. Ik ben dankbaar voor de overwinning. Ik hield van Puerto Rico, iedereen hier omhelsde me met liefde. "

Bohachuk, die oorspronkelijk uit Vinitza komt, Oekraïne, en woont nu in Los Angeles, ging de strijd aan met een onberispelijk professioneel record, gemarkeerd door zijn 100% knock-out percentage door 18 gevechten. De 25-jarige liet de eerste ronde op alle drie de scorekaarten vallen, maar controleerde het tempo tegen de veteraan Adams gedurende het grootste deel van het gevecht door de ring af te snijden en stabiel lichaamswerk te vertonen..

'Ik dacht dat hij de strijd domineerde,”Zei Bohachuks hoofdtrainer Manny Robles. 'Ik zei hem dat hij op die linkse hoek moest letten. Ik vertelde hem dat als hij die linkse hoek wegnam, hij het gevecht zou beheersen. Het duurt een paar rondes voordat Serhii is opgewarmd, maar hij zag er goed uit en zijn verdediging was echt aan het verbeteren tot die knock-out. "

In het co-main event van de avond, super vedergewicht vooruitzichtBryan Chevalier (15-1-1, 12 KO) van Bayamon, Puerto Rico, scoorde een indrukwekkende derde ronde knock-out tegenCarlos Zambrano (26-2, 11 KO). Chevalier, 26, keerde terug naar de ring na een ontslag van 15 maanden, maar vertoonde geen tekenen van ringroest toen hij een snelle knockdown scoorde in de eerste ronde. In de derde ronde, hij scoorde back-to-back knockdowns, gemarkeerd door een bonzende linkerhand naar de buik die Peru's Zambrano naar het canvas stuurde en niet in staat was om de graaf te verslaan.

“Ik had vanavond het lengte- en jeugdvoordeel, maar hij had de ervaring,”Zei Chevalier. “Ik moest uitzoeken wat hij ging brengen en me aanpassen om de overwinning te behalen. Ik ben erg blij met mijn prestatie. Ik ben de beste 126-ponder in heel Puerto Rico. "

Het openen van de uitzending op NBC Sports Network, Puerto RicoDanielito Zorrilla (15-0, 11 KO) en die van KazachstanRuslan Madiyev (13-2, 5 KO) verwikkeld in een opwindend heen en weer gevecht. De 28-jarige Madiyev bracht het gevecht met meedogenloze druk naar Zorilla terwijl de tactische Zorilla goed reageerde. In de vijfde ronde, Madiyev was een punt aangemeerd voor een klap achter het hoofd en naar 1:16 of the eighth round, scheidsrechter Janny Gomez stopte de wedstrijd vanwege een nieuwe stoot achter het hoofd, die als een accidentele fout werd beschouwd. De 27-jarige Zorrilla behaalde een technische beslissingsoverwinning toen twee van de scorekaarten de voorkeur gaven aan de Puerto Ricaanse (77-75, 77-74) terwijl de derde werd opgeteld ten gunste van Madiyev (76-73). De onofficiële doelpuntenmaker van Ring City, Steve Smoger, zag het gevecht 76-75 in het voordeel van Zorrilla.

'Ruslan kreeg net zijn groove,”Zei hoofdtrainer Joel Diaz na het gevecht. “Hij werd sterker na de vijfde ronde en Zorrilla begon moe te worden. Hij bleef Ruslan het grootste deel van het gevecht omhelzen. Persoonlijk, Ik denk dat Zorrilla uit de strijd wilde. "

Madiyev verliet de ring snel nadat het besluit was aangekondigd, maar Diaz gaf zijn mening over het einde van het gevecht.

"Hij was niet gewond, hij is een goede acteur,”Vervolgde Diaz. 'Zorrilla zou een soapacteur moeten worden. We waren die strijd aan het winnen, en dit is niet eerlijk voor mijn vechter omdat hij het werk heeft gedaan. Maar wat kunt u doen?? We moeten vooruit blijven gaan. "

Danielito Zorrilla verkeert momenteel in stabiele toestand en werd na het gevecht naar het ziekenhuis gebracht om routinetests te ondergaan.

Eerder op de avond, woon in de VS.. en over de hele wereld op Twitch, Ring City USA presenteerde drie gevechten van vier ronden. In het hoofdevenement van de Twitch-undercard, Fernando Vargas, Jr.(2-0, 2 KO) verdiende op indrukwekkende wijze zijn tweede professionele overwinning, het scoren van een technische knock-out in de eerste ronde tegen die van El SalvadorSalome Flores Torres (0-3). De 24-jarige Vargas, Jr., onder de voogdij van zijn vader - tweevoudig wereldkampioen superweltergewicht Fernando Vargas, Sr., stuurde Torres twee keer naar het canvas voordat het gevecht werd uitgewuifd.

“Bij elk gevecht, Ik zal blijven groeien en naar mijn vader luisteren,”Zei Vargas, Jr. “Dit was pas mijn tweede profgevecht. We waren op zoek naar de knock-out, maar het TKO is OK. Ik was bezig met mijn prik om afstand te nemen en liet toen mijn linkerhand los. "

In zijn geboorteplaats Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, Harold Laguna (2-0, 2 KO) werkte het lichaam vroeg en vaak op weg naar een knock-outoverwinning in de eerste rondeDarwin Alvarez (0-1).

Ring City USA Events Will Air Live Thursday Nights at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on NBCSN in the United States and Streaming Around the World on Twitch 

Los Angeles – January 29, 2021 - Ring City USA, de nieuwe sportmedia-startup die in november met zijn boksserie op donderdagavond debuteerde 2020 on NBC Sports Network, announced today the first two events of 2021 will be held on Thursday, Maart 4 and Thursday, Maart 18, live from Puerto Rico. Both events will be televised in the United States on NBC Sports Network and the NBC Sports app on Thursday nights at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT with undercard action streaming live on Twitch. The full card will be available on Twitch outside of the United States.

The return of Ring City USA features two highly competitive matchups with fighters at unique junctures of their professional boxing careers. Op maart 4, undefeated blue-chip rising starSerhii Bohachuk (18-0, 18 KO) meets former middleweight title challengerBrandon Adams (22-3, 13 KO) in a 10-round super welterweight main event. Two weeks later on March 18, Ring City presents the next chapter in the Puerto Rico vs. Mexico ring rivalry when former super featherweight world titlistAlberto Machado(22-2, 18 KO) faces undefeatedrising prospect Hector Tanajara(19-0, 5 KO) in een lichtgewicht hoofdevenement van 10 ronden. Ring City’s events in March will be broadcast live from Puerto Rico as the company continues to tap into boxing’s rich historical locations.

The fight between Bohachuk and Adams was originally scheduled to top the December 3 Ring City event at Wild Card Boxing Club in Los Angeles but Bohachuk was forced to withdraw after testing positive for COVID-19.

“We are thrilled to kick off 2021 with two crossroads main event fights in Puerto Rico,” said Head of Boxing Evan Rutkowski. “Serhii Bohachuk has been chomping at the bit to get back in the ring and on March 4 he will meet the most dangerous opponent of his career in Brandon Adams. Then two weeks later we are right back on NBC Sports Network and Twitch with rising undefeated prospect Hector Tanajara battling former world champion Alberto Machado of Puerto Rico in a classic Mexico vs. Puerto Rico rivalry fight.”

The hard-hitting Bohachuk, who is currently ranked seventh by the WBC and ninth by the IBF at 154 pond, has steamrolled through opposition on his way to an 18-0 record, all of which have come via knockout. Training with Manny Robles out of Legends Boxing Academy, the 25-year-old proved himself with a knockout win over Tyrone Brunson in October of 2019. Meest recent, he put on an electric performance in September 2020 when he knocked out Alejandro Davila in six rounds. The Ukrainian-born Bohachuk, who is promoted by Tom Loeffler’s 360 Promotions and Ural Boxing, continues to take the Southern California boxing world by storm with his dominant performances in the ring and magnetic personality out of the ring.

“I’m looking forward to defending my title against Brandon Adams on March 4 in Puerto Rico on NBC Sports Network,” said Bohachuk. “I want to thank Ring City and my promoters for this opportunity. This should be a great fight for the fans. I am sorry we couldn’t do it in December, but now people are talking even more about this fight. I will put on another exciting show for the fans.”

Following Bohachuk’s positive COVID-19 result, Adams went on to face Sonny Duversonne in Ring City’s main event on Dec. 3. Adams bested Duversonne just miles away from his hometown of Watts, Calif., with an impressive second-round knockout victory. The battle-tested Adams who works with accomplished trainer Dub Huntley, challenged WBC Middleweight Titleholder Jermall Charlo for the title in 2019 after defeating Shane Mosley Jr. to win the Epix Television Series “The Contender.” Adams boasts a formidable group of sparring partners, including Shawn Porter and Gennadiy Golovkin. Adams started competitively training at age 19, fought his first amateur fight at age 20 and turned professional at age 21. He is promoted by Banner Promotions and Tournament of Contenders.

“I’m looking forward to returning to Ring City in March and showing more growth when Serhii and I finally get to step into the ring in Puerto Rico,”Zei Adams.

Machado (22-2, 18 KO), who hails from Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, will fight on the island for the first time since 2017 en de 14th time in his professional career. In 2017, Machado captured the WBA super featherweight world title against Jezreel Corrales via eighth-round knockout. Machado successfully defended the world title twice in 2018 before losing the belt to Andrew Cancio in February 2019. Later in 2019, Machado moved up to lightweight and scored a second-round knockout over Luis Porozo. The 30-year-old is currently ranked 12th by both the WBA and WBO. The southpaw made a name for himself on the Puerto Rican amateur circuit, competing in the AIBA Youth World Championships and the 2012 Olympische kwalificatie.

“It has been a sad and forced rest due to the Coronavirus but, voor mij, my body needed this rest. I am excited that after four years I will return to fight again at home in Puerto Rico,” said Machado. “I thank Miguel Cotto Promotions, H2 Promotions, Golden Boy and Ring City USA for giving me this opportunity to headline this great card. Hector Tanajara, Jr. is a great fighter who seeks to break through in the lightweight division as well. I hope he comes ready and that 135 has my space saved because I belong here and on March 18it will be demonstrated.”

Tanajara (19-0, 5 KO) will take on the toughest test of his career when he meets Machado on his home turf. Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Tanajara (19-0, 5 KO) is coming off of fighting in his hometown for the first time in his professional career in January 2020 when he took on former world title challenger Juan Carlos Burgos who he beat convincingly via unanimous decision. The 24-year-old has continued to rise up the lightweight ranks since turning pro in 2015. In Machado, he will face a new challenge by taking on a southpaw fighter for the first time in his 19-fight professional career. Tanajara fights under the tutelage of world-famous trainer Robert Garcia.

“I’m excited to get back in the ring,” said Tanajara. “It has been a little over a year and I’ve been training hard this whole time staying ready for whoever. We finally got an opponent and I’m ready to show the world who I am and what I can do with the top guys in the division.”

Calling all the action ringside in Puerto Rico will be former two-time welterweight champion Shawn Porter joined by NBC Sports blow-by-blow commentator Bob Papa. Brian Campbell will serve as fight night analyst with Curran Bhatia reporting from ringside.

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.


Hoewel, 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.


“Ik voel me goed. 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 pond, 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 en 160 pond.”

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.



“Thus far camp has been great. I feel awesome and I’m well prepared. It’s an amazing feeling to be fighting in my hometown. It’s almost a dream come true to me. To have my own card at this level and on this stage, it shows the support Houston has for me.”

“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's Trainer



“We’ve done a lot of studying of Brandon Adams and he’s a really good fighter. Winnend 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.”

In zijn meest recente strijd, Hernandez defeated Daniel Valdivia (14-3, 10 KO) in a fight that Valdivia was rocked badly in the last two rounds. Some controversy happened after the bout as Valdivia was originally announced the winner, despite being out boxed and beaten, an official at ringside counted the scores again and realized a judging error and announced Hernandez, the rightful winner.

On top of the bizarre ending, Hernandez was cut in the fight and forced to sit, because of his cut. Valdivia replaced him and got dropped and beaten by Shane Mosely Jr., who now is in the finals.

Hernandez is readier than ever now to make things happen as he wishes to keep his momentum moving forward and face the best in the division.

“I have had a great camp with my trainer Henry Ramirez in Riverside, als, and I am ready for Friday night.” Said Hernandez. “I am going to show all of my skills when I step in the ring and I’m going to steal the show.”

“I have never seen Hernandez train this hard, be this motivated and want to prove a point this badly,” stated his longtime advisor, Peter Lopes. “This is a different ‘Mad Man’.”
