Santa Cruz and Frampton collide in a battle of world champions who mix dizzying speed with incredible output that produces exciting fight after exciting fight. This fight will be the fifth featherweight world title fight presented by SHOWTIME in 2016. Frampton, a unified world champion at 122 pond, a weight class Santa Cruz previously held a title at, will move up a notch in weight and challenge at 126 pond.
“I’ve never been to New York before and I’m looking forward to this big opportunity to put on a show for new fans in a new city,” said Santa Cruz. “I always fight for the fans and I’m excited to be able to do that somewhere I haven’t been before. Frampton is a good fighter. He has power and skills and he moves when he has to, but he has a weak chin. When he gets caught with a good punch, he goes down. He doesn’t like pressure and I have that. I’m looking forward to putting on an exciting show at Barclays Center and I hope I leave with lots of new fans.”
“I am in terrific shape, I feel fantastic in the gym and I am ready for the biggest fight of my career,"Zei Frampton. "Op Juli 30 I will become a two weight world champion. I respect Leo Santa Cruz, he is a great fighter and person, but I am preparing meticulously to overcome any challenge he brings on Juli 30. I cannot wait to hear the crowd at Barclays Center. It is my first time boxing in New York, where some of the greatest fights have taken place. I know there will be a large number of fans traveling from the UK and Ireland but there is also a huge Irish-American audience and I am eager to show them all what I can do. Bestel je tickets nu, het gaat om een geweldig gevecht worden!"
“Santa Cruz vs. Frampton is not only the best fight that can be made in the featherweight division, it truly is one of the most anticipated fights in all of boxing,”Zei Lou DiBella, Voorzitter van DiBella Entertainment. “Boxing fans can expect nonstop action in this can’t-miss matchup of aggressive styles. There’s no better way for Santa Cruz and Frampton to make their New York debuts than at Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, against each other.”
“The competitive matchup of Santa Cruz vs. Frampton shines an international spotlight on BROOKLYN BOXING at Barclays Center,” said Brett Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Vermaak. “We’re especially excited to host two of the best featherweight boxers in the sport today as they fight in New York for the first time.”
The popular Mexican-American Santa Cruz fights out of Los Angeles and won the 126-pound title in a “Fight of the Year” candidate against former three-division champ Abner Mares last August at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles. It was just the third fight in the featherweight division for Santa Cruz, who has won belts at 118 en 122 pounds while earning a reputation as one of boxing’s most active and exciting fighters. The 27-year-old also holds victories over Cristian Mijares en Eric Morel. He has competed in world title bouts in 11 van zijn laatste 13 fights since 2012. After stopping former world champion Kiko Martinez in the fifth round last Februari. 27, Santa Cruz makes his second world title defense in his East Coast debut.
After defeating rival Scott QUIGG in their 122-pound unification bout last Februari. 27, Frampton will attempt to capture a world title in a second weight class. Fighting out of Belfast, Noord-Ierland, the Irish national amateur champion in 2005 en 2009 expects to bring some of his rabid fans stateside come Juli 30. The 29-year-old became a world champion in 2014 when he defeatedKiko Martinez to earn a super bantamweight title. Hij maakte zijn U.S. debut in July 2015 when he defeated Alejandro “Cobrita” Gonzalez Jr. in Texas before unifying the title against Quigg.

NEW YORK (Jan. 15, 2016) - ShoBox: The New Generation returnson Vrijdag, Februari. 19, quadrupleheader live op SHOW TIME (10 p.m. EN/PT, vertraagd op de West Coast) van de Adrian Phillips Ballroom in Historic Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J.
With the same height, same age, and similar strong amateur backgrounds, Adam "Butter" Lopez (14-0, 7 KO) en Mario “Yayo” Munoz (16-0-1, 10 KO) will face their toughest opponents to date when they touch gloves in the 10-round super bantamweight main event matchup.
In other televised bouts, all scheduled for eight rounds, Ronald “Akeem” Ellis (12-0, 10 KO) neemt Jerry Odom (13-2, 12 KO) in a clash of hard-hitting super middleweights, Keenan Smith (9-0, 3 KO) faces fellow southpaw Wellington Romero (9-0-1, 4 KO) in a battle of unbeaten welterweights and lefthander Lavisas “Red” Williams (8-0-1, 3 KO) risks his undefeated record against O'Shaquie Foster (8-1, 5 KO) in a super featherweight match.
The combined record of the eight up-and-coming competitors is 89-3-3 met 54 knock-outs.
Lopez, San Antonio, Texas, by way Phoenix, Ariz., Smid, van Philadelphia, and Foster, van Oranje, Texas, will be making their secondShoBox starts; while Munoz, of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Ellis, of Dorchester, Massa., Williams, of Rochester, N.Y.. and Romero, of Hasburgh, N.Y., via Santiago, D.R., hun eerste. Odom, Washington, D.C, is making his third appearance.
Tickets for the GH3 Promotions event are priced at $25, $50, $75 en 100 en zijn online verkrijgbaar www.Ticketmaster.comand over the phone at 1 800 736 1420.
An excellent boxer-puncher and tactician that likes to counter, Lopez won his ShoBox debut in his outing before last with a close, hard-fought 10-round majority decision over previously undefeated, DominicaanEliezer Aquino (17-0-1 naar binnen). Lopez is coming off a second-round TKO over Eric Aiken laatste December. 12.
Lopez was born in Phoenix, raised in Los Angeles and moved to San Antonio when he was 15. Hij ging 125-23 in the amateurs and won six national championships before turning pro in February 2012. He’s trained by former two-time world champion Carlos "Famoso" Hernandez.
Munoz will be making his United States debut and first start outside of Mexico. A pro since September 2010, he’s known for his come-forward style, first-rate overall skills and proficient punching power. Hij ging 140-10 in de amateurs, winning three national Junior Olympic tournaments and coming away with bronze and silver medals in national championships.
Munoz, who hails from a fighting family, has an uncle who boxed professionally. He’s the one he credits for introducing him to boxing when he was 13. This will be his first fight since he scored a lopsided eight-round decision over Daniel Franco laatste Mei 2.
Ellis upset highly regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Nationale Golden Gloves (Gausha would go on to represent the U.S. bij de 2012 Olympische Spelen). Since going pro in February 2011, Ellis has fought in two countries (Puerto Rico, Mexico) and six U.S. cities (San Antonio, Carson, Calif., Winchester, Va., New York City, Tulsa and Inglewood, Calif.). The 26-year-old has faced mostly modest opposition and has seldom come close to putting in a full night’s work.
Ellis had had a series of delays and restarts since turning pro but feels he’s grown from his mistakes and that he’ll be stronger because of them. Zeker, his power hasn’t been affected. Alle 10 of his knockouts have come inside two rounds (eight in the first). The older brother of boxer Rashidi Ellis has won four straight by knockout, including a second-round TKO over Jas Phipps in his last start last Augustus. 29. But he seems to be taking a sizeable step-up in class here.
Odom is looking to turn it around after losing two of his last three, the most recent defeat coming via a shocking third-round TKO to Samuel Clarkson (14-3 naar binnen) op ShoBox. The heavily favored, heavy-hitting Odom was dropped three times, once in the second and twice in the third, before the fight was halted at 1:15.
Odom, een top amateur en 2012 Nationale Golden Gloves Kampioen op 178 pond, had een 12-gevecht win streak einde aan Jan. 9, 2015, when he was disqualified against Andrew Hernandez. In the rematch the followingMaart 13 op ShoBox, Odom registered a 2:47, first-round TKO.
In zijn ShoBox debuut, Odom, who makes for exciting scraps, dropped previously unbeaten Vilier Quinonez (8-0) twice before stopping him in the seventh round on July 25, 2014.
Smith won his ShoBox debut in his last start on a hard-fought, eight-round unanimous decision over Benjamin Whitaker laatste November. 6 in an outdoor fight in Las Vegas. Fighting in memory of his mother who died in late September and going eight rounds for the first time, the 5-foot-7Smith, overcame a nasty cut over the left eye from an unintentional headbutt in the sixth, rallied to score a knockdown in the seventh and triumphed by the scores of 79-73 en 78-74 tweemaal.
Before turning pro in April 2010, Smith was a 2008 National Golden Gloves Featherweight Champion and 2007 Junior Olympic National Kampioen. His 74-2 record in the amateurs included two victories overworld-ranked contender Amir I.
Romero had 268 amateur bouts and represented the Dominican Republic at the Olympics in 2012 (he lost to Vasyl Lomanchenko). Shortly thereafter he relocated to New York. He went pro in October 2013, fought four times in 2014 and five times last year.
A slick 5-foot-9 boxer who can punch and gives opponent issues because of his awkward style and movement, Romero, 24, has beat up on ordinary opposition and is coming off a first-round TKO over LuisMeroles laatste December. 5. This looks to be his most daunting assignment to date.
Williams, 24, is a boxer-puncher who’s won seven in a row since boxing a draw in his second start in March 2013. This will be his first fight outside of New York. Making his eight-round debut in his last start onOktober. 8, he won a shutout decision over Czech Republic’s Michal Dufek.
Bevorderen, 22, gets a quick-fix opportunity to redeem himself after losing hisShoBox debut on an eight-round unanimous decision to underdog Sam Seah (6-1) op de November. 6 card in Las Vegas.
A highly decorated amateur, the 5-foot-8½ inch Foster advanced to the 2012 U.S. Olympische Trials, waar hij verloor van ongeslagen pro vooruitzicht, Jozef "Jo-Jo" Diaz. Daarvoor, Foster was a 2011 Houston Golden Gloves en 2010 PAL Nationaal Kampioen, a five-time Ringside National Champion and two-time National Junior Golden Gloves Champion.
Barry Tompkins zal bellen met de ShoBox actie van ringside met Steve Farhood en voormalig wereldkampioen Raul Marquez die als deskundige analisten. De uitvoerend producent is Gordon Hall met Richard Gaughan produceren en Rick Phillips leiding.
