Padilla, 22, was born in Vieques, Пуэрта-Рыка, and currently lives and fights out of Berlin, N.J.

His last time out in January 2020, Padilla needed just 2:46 to stop Israel Suarez-Olmeda. Padilla turned professional in December 2016 after a stellar amateur career that included three National Championships and a record of 90-7. He trains alongside former world champions Tevin Farmer and Jason Sosa under trainer Raul “Chino” Rivas.

“У першую чаргу, Я хачу падзякаваць Бога, my family and my team for keeping me positive through these hard times,” said Padilla. “I am very excited for this opportunity to showcase my skills in front of a national audience. I have sacrificed a lot to get to this point in my career. It takes a lot of dedication to the sport and I am confident that it will pay off. It has been 13 long years of working hard to show the world who Victor Padilla is and, сакавіка 10, a new chapter will begin. Thomas Velasquez is a good fighter and this is a good matchup, but may the best man win.

Веласкес, another Philadelphia native, made his professional debut in 2015 and looked to be rapidly rising through the ranks, winning his first nine fights including five by way of knockout. A draw with Tyrome Jones in September 2017 stalled his career to a near standstill, as he did not fight again until 2020 when he scored a third-round KO over veteran Gustavo Molina in his return bout. The 25-year-old will look to regain the momentum he had earlier in his career with a win over the highly regarded Padilla. Як аматар, Velasquez had a 30-3 record and won the Pennsylvania State Golden Gloves. He is trained by Hamza Muhammad, who also trains the newly crowned WBO Junior Featherweight World Champion Stephen Fulton Jr.

“I could not be happier to have this opportunity to show the world what I can do,” said Velasquez. “It doesn’t matter who is standing in the opposite corner, I fight to provide a better life for my twin daughters. I look forward to putting on a spectacular performance on March 10 and leaving that ring with my unbeaten record intact.

"Я не павінен быў прайсці тры туры з гэтым хлопцам,- сказаў Лі, хто ваяваў далей ShoBox другі раз. "Я павінен быў адвесці яго адтуль 40 секунд ці хвіліну вяршынь. Але ў хлопца быў план гульні, а яго трэнер - былы чэмпіён свету [Глен Джонсан] хто ведаў, што ніколі не быў у чацвёртым туры. Ён проста спрабаваў мяне стаміць. Ніхто не хоча глядзець, як два хлопцы глядзяць адзін на аднаго. Мая абарона была з дзевяці 10 сёння ўвечары. Але ў цэлым я даю сабе C-мінус. Я хачу ўзяць яго на новы ўзровень, і я проста ўдзячны SHOWTIME і ShoBox за тое, што ты дае мне гэтыя магчымасці ".

Паядынак пайшоў на табліцы суддзяў, і тэхнічнае рашэнне прынятае на карысць Нормана, 69-64 і 68-65 двойчы.



Норман распачаў канкурэнтную барацьбу, выехаўшы з Радрыгеса 79-35 ў цэлым і 73-20 сілавыя ўдары ў раўнды пяць-сем, адлюстраванне найвышэйшай актыўнасці Нормана (72.4 удары за раунд да Радрыгеса 54.4), дакладнасць (33%-29% ў цэлым, 44%-32% магутнасць) і штампоўка цела (67-50 у злучае).



19-гадовы Норман, які стаў прафесіяналам ва ўзросце 17 і трэніруецца яго бацькам і былым прафесійным байцом Браянам Норманам-старэйшым., праявіў навыкі, якія надаюць яму рэпутацыю высока шанаванай перспектывы, але ўсё роўна пакінуў бой, адчуваючы сябе нездаволеным.



"Гэта галава была непасрэдна перад накаўтам,"Сказаў Норман. "Я амаль упэўнены, што ўсе гэта бачылі. Хлопчык памёр, але я паважаю яго. Я лічу, што сёмы раўнд быў накаўтным раўндам, альбо TKO, альбо накаўтам. Раней я забіваў яго мёртвым і зліваў з яго ўсю энергію ".



"Я ведаю, што выйграў больш раўндаў,"Сказаў 29-гадовы Радрыгес, які таксама адчувае, што накаўт быў непазбежны, але ў яго карысць. "Я дакладна ведаю, што выйграў больш раўндаў. Я біў яго моцнымі стрэламі, і калі б у нас не было такой выпадковай стрэлкі галавы, я адчуваў, што мог бы адвесці яго адтуль ».



У другім баі на чатыры бою тэлеперадачы, непераможны лёгкі праспект Алехандра "Свіная сечка" Герэра (12-0, 9 КО) выйграў жорстка аспрэчаны Slugfest з дапамогай большасці рашэнняў над Хасэ Ангула (12-2, 5 КО). Суддзі забіў бой 76-76, 79-73 і 78-74.



У надзвычай забаўляльным паядынку, які нападаў агрэсіўнага Герэра супраць контратакі Ангула, двое суддзяў, здавалася, былі больш ўражаны агрэсіяй Герэра і крыху лепшым ударам улады (ён вёў 109-104 у сілавым удары падключае) чым па актыўнасці Ангула (89.3 удары за тур па Герэра 68.9), мабільнасць і разнастайнае камбінаванае штампоўка.



Упершыню ў кар'еры абодва мужчыны прайшлі апошнія шэсць тураў, Гэрэра змог скончыць з большай энергіяй. Ён пацярпеў моцную правую руку Ангула ў шостым раўндзе і амаль закрыў шоў у канцы восьмага і заключнага раўнда, але эквадор, які зарабляў на Злучаных Штатах. дэбют змог застацца на нагах.



"Гэта, мабыць, быў самы жорсткі бой,"Сказаў 22-гадовы Герэра. "Я змагаўся 140 перш чым яго ўдарная сіла была не занадта вялікай. Проста яго сэрца; вы можаце сказаць, калі ў байца ёсць сэрца, і яны проста хочуць там сядзець і выбухаць. Я не думаў, што гэта роўная барацьба. Я прызямляўся, і я быў лепшым чалавекам. Я даў сабе сямёрку. Я магу зрабіць і лепш. Мне проста трэба больш кандыцыянавання. Той, хто наступны, Я вазьму на сябе лепшае ў сваім вагавым дывізіёне ".



У бітве непераможныя пярыгі робяць свае ShoBox дэбюты ў тэлеперадачы нож, Армянскі алімпіец Арам Авагян (10-0-1, 4 КО) у першым і другім раундах пераадолелі наезды, каб атрымаць жорсткае рашэнне большасці над Дагаберта Агуэра (15-1, 10 КО). Суддзі забіў бой 75-75, 76-74 і 77-74.



Другі бой запар, Авагян, які трэніруецца SugarHill Steward у знакамітай трэнажорнай зале Kronk у Дэтройце, стартаваў павольна і быў збіты ў першым раўндзе. 29-гадовы хлопец таксама патрапіў у палатно ў другім раўндзе, калі Агуэра падключыўся на сячэнне ўверсе справа. Пачатак з трэцяга тура, праз уражлівы прыступ цела (98-42 у злучае), лепшая дакладнасць харчавання (39%-35%) і яго здольнасць выклікаць жорсткі бой унутры, Авагян змог паступова ачысціць бензабак з Агера, якія ніколі не былі за шэсць патронаў.



З'явіўся цяжкі правы крыж, які забіў Акаўра ў сёмым, але арбітр Gary Ritter выключыў яго. Агуэра вёў 55-24 у цэлым злучае і 55-20 сілавыя ўдары высадзіліся пасля двух патронаў, але Авагян узмацніўся ў шасці па васьмі (83-44 ў цэлым, 80-48 магутнасць) каб атрымаць перамогу ў вяртанні. Aguero стаў самым 192й знішчальнік страціў свой непераможны рэкорд далей ShoBox.



«Пасля другога наступу я проста ведаў, што трэба сысціся, і ўсё добра,"Сказаў Авагян. «Мне трэба было вярнуцца назад, і я працягваў гэта рабіць. Напады былі вялікімі, таму я ведаў, што вярнуцца будзе цяжка. Я думаў, што выступленне ў парадку. Я магу паказаць больш, і я буду ў будучыні ".

Я думаю, што ён зможа паказаць прыхільнікам бокса ўсе свае здольнасці. Ён монстар. Яго спакойны і спакойны баец адрознівае яго. Ён таксама разумны і мае выдатны IQ, але вы не можаце забыць пра яго сілу, бо ён мае магчымасць спыніць сутычкі датэрмінова ".

Я лічу, што ў Лі ёсць тавары стаць чэмпіёнам свету, і ў гэты момант ён усё яшчэ набірае вопыт і імпульс да сваёй мары.



"Ёсць яшчэ пытанні, на якія трэба адказаць Лі. Як ён адкажа, калі яго калі-небудзь збіваюць? Як ён паступіць супраць кагосьці, як ён; хтосьці не пераможаны, суровы і такі ж галодны? За ім будзе весела назіраць, як ён працягвае свой шлях. У яго ёсць навыкі, каб падняцца на вяршыню, але ўсе мы ведаем, што патрабуецца больш, чым проста навыкі.

Я спарываў яго раней і давяраў мне, ён сапраўдны сабака. Я з нецярпеннем чакаю назіранні ў сакавіку 13 і я мяркую, што мой хлопец будзе працаваць над пеклам ShoBox: Новае пакаленне."

These three very talented prospects all had stellar amateur careers and each are talented in their own way. They all have something in common and that’s power as the threesome have a combined 39 knockouts in their 45 баі. You can expect an action-packed card and certainly some KOs.”



“On March 13th, boxing fans are in for a treat,- сказаў Дзмітрый Слова, Прэзідэнт Саліта Акцыя. “This fantastic ShoBox card is showcasing some of the most talented prospects in boxing. Top to bottom, is going to be a must watch night of fights, shining the spotlight in my opinion, in some of tomorrow’s champions.”



“These are four terrific matchups between up-and-coming young fighters,” said Cameron Dunkin of D&D Бокс. “Brandun Lee has a big test in front of him for his first main event on ShoBox. Brian Norman and Alejandro Guerrero will both be in the toughest fights of their careers as well. All four televised bouts have the potential to be explosive. These are the types of fights that boxing needs.”



Толькі 20 гадоў, the knockout artist Lee (18-0, 16 КО) from La Quinta, Каліфорнія., has KO’d all but two of his opponents (88.89 працэнтаў), у тым ліку 11 у першым туры, four in the second and one in the third.

Lee is trained by his father Bobby Lee and is also a full-time college student.

“I’m excited to be headlining my first SHOWTIME show,"Сказаў Лі. “I’m looking forward to giving fans something different that they haven’t seen from me before. They’re going to see me display my boxing skills a lot more. In my last two fights, I feel like I didn’t really show how good my defense is. I’m going to use the left hand a lot more to feel him out. А потым, when the time is right, I will drop the bombs. Headlining my first ShoBox is a huge accomplishment. It’ll sort of be like graduating the high school of boxing. After this, I hope to move onto the University level of boxing like SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING or Pay-per-View.



The 33-year-old Prieto (15-1, 10 КО) is riding a seven-fight win streak with his last loss coming in February 2017. In his last fight in November, Prieto recorded a six-round unanimous decision against Yogli Herrera. Prieto trains at various gyms around Miami and for the past year has been working with former light heavyweight world champion and Roy Jones Jr. conqueror Glen “The Road Warrior” Johnson.



“It’s been great working with Glen,” Prieto said. “I am getting knowledge from an ex-world champion who knows what it takes to be at the top level and has been there before. He knows how to push and guide you the right way for big fights like this. Brandun Lee looks like a young, undefeated fighter to me, but I don’t see anything too impressive, сумленна. You can expect to see fireworks that night. I’m going to really come and put Brandun to the test. He’s never faced anyone as good as me. Гэта будзе футурыстычным бой ".



Norman, the 19-year-old Atlanta resident, like Lee also has won all but two of his fights by knockout. Зусім нядаўна, Norman earned a unanimous decision victory over Evincii Dixon on January 17 in Sloan, Аёва. Norman goes by the nickname “The Assassin II” as his father Brian Norman Sr. was known as “The Assassin” as a professional boxer from 2003-2011. Norman is trained by both his father and Barry Richardson.



“I’m not looking for just a victory on ShoBox, I want to show off,” Norman said. “I want to show what I can do. I want to break my opponent down and let everybody know I’m here. You can expect to see a lot of fireworks. Both my father and Barry are giving me their all, and I’m giving it back. I know Rodriguez is a short, pressure fighter. He’s basically made for me to beat.”



Rodriguez trains at Capetillo Boxing Academy in East Los Angeles. He had an amateur record of 86 перамог і 14 losses and was a silver medalist at the Junior Olympic Nationals.



“Fighting on SHOWTIME is a dream come true,” Rodriguez said. “Growing up, I always wanted to be one of the guys that fought on TV, so it’s pretty exciting to get the opportunity to do so and show the world my skills. A victory would mean a lot to me, especially a win over someone as tough as the guy I’m fighting. I’m hoping a win over him can bring me to bigger opportunities to fight for a world title.”



Guerrero is a big-punching prospect who has won his last three fights by knockout. A celebrated amateur who won two junior national titles, “Pork Chop” has sparred with the likes of Mikey Garcia and Brandon Rios at the famed Garcia Boxing Academy in California. Барацьба з Х'юстана, the 21-year-old will be making his national television debut March 13 and is coming off a second-round TKO of Darnell Jiles Jr. in January of this year.



“I love that I’m getting this opportunity,- сказаў Герэра. “I’ve trained for this my whole life. My dream is to become a world champion, so a win would mean so much for me and my family. I’ve been training really hard for this fight, knowing it’ll be on national television. I don’t really know much about Angulo, but we train hard for anyone. The outcome will always be the same. I will always win.”



Ангулу, of Guayaquil, Эквадор, will be making his United States debut after fighting 12 з яго 13 professional fights in his native country. His lone loss came in his only fight outside of Ecuador, a unanimous decision to Ryan Pino in Puerto Rico. Since the loss, Angulo has rattled off six consecutive wins, including knockouts in the second and first rounds of his last two fights, адпаведна.



“There’s going to be a big surprise waiting for Guerrero on March 13,” said Angulo. “He likes fighting on the inside and he comes forward with a lot ofaggression too, so he’s the perfect style for me and the way I like to fight. I’m looking forward to showcasing myself on this big platform and putting all my skills to work. I will win.”



Авагян, a 29-year-old from Yerevan, Арменія, represented his home country in the 2016 Алімпійскія гульні. Avagyan had an accomplished amateur career, winning bronze medals at both the 2013 і 2015 European championships. Turning pro following the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, Avagyan won his first eight professional bouts before fighting Russian Evgeny Smirnov to a split-decision in September 2018. His last time out, he made his U.S. debut on the undercard of Canelo Alvarez-Daniel Jacobs, where he handily out-boxed then-unbeaten Francisco Esparza en route to a unanimous decision.



“Every fight is a chance to prove myself and rise to the top,"Сказаў Авагян, who is signed to Salita Promotions. “When I go out into the ring, I only think about winning any at cost. Aguero is just another obstacle that must be moved out of my way. Before each fight, I surrender myself to training one hundred percent so that on the day of the battle, I do not regret the path traveled. Fight night is like a holiday for me because the time has come for which I was preparing.”



The 26-year-old Aguero was an impressive amateur in his native Dominican Republic. Aguero was a silver medalist at the 2011 Pan-Am Games in Guadalajara, Мексіка, losing only to future two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Robeisy Ramírez. As a pro, the San Cristobal native won the first 10 fights of his career in his home country before making his U.S. debut in February 2017 when he earned the most impressive win of his young career over Olimjon Nazarov.



“Fighting on SHOWTIME is what we have been waiting for,” said Aguero, who is currently training in Pahokee, Фларыда. “I look at it as the opportunity to show people who I am and when I win this fight, it’ll be the beginning of a great boxing career where I can feed my family and give my son everything he needs and deserves.”



Бары Томпкінс назвае акцыю з прызыву з гісторыкам бокса Стывам Фарсі і былым чэмпіёнам свету Раулем Маркесам, які выступае ў якасці экспертаў-аналітыкаў. Выканаўчы прадзюсер з'яўляецца Гордан зала з Рычардам Гоган вытворчасці і Рык Філіпс рэжысуры.
