Lopez Battles Undefeated Arnold Khegai Live on SHOWTIME® At 10 p.m. OG/PT From 2300 Arena In Philadelphia

 

Nutley, N.J. (Maj 9, 2018) – Super Bantamweight prospect Adam Lopez has reunited with his former trainer for his eight-round matchup with undefeated Arnold Khegai denne fredag på ShoBox: The New Generation in the opening bout of a four-fight SHOWTIME telecast (10 p.m. ET / PT) fra 2300 Arena i Philadelphia.

 

 

 

Lopez (16-2-2, 8 KOS) is back under the tutelage of former world champion Carlos “Famoso” Hernandez, returning to his hometown of San Antonio after completing his previous two camps in New Jersey.

 

 

 

“This fight is do or die,” Lopez said. “In the situation I am in now, this could make or break my career. Everything is really good and I’m happy to be back with Carlos Hernandez. Once I got back with him, a lot of what we worked on before is coming back. The sport is repetitive, and I have been sparring with aggressive guys.”

 

 

 

In Khegai (11-0-1, 8 KOS), Lopez is facing a tough and hard-nosed fighter from Ukraine. Lopez has done extensive scouting on his adversary, who will be making his American debut.

 

 

 

“I have seen just about all of his fights, and he is definitely aggressive,” Lopez said. “I know he is a former kickboxer. He is a rugged guy, but I am a veteran, who has faced many styles, so I am ready for whatever he will bring on Friday.”

 

 

 

Lopez has become a favorite on ShoBox and Friday is his record seventh appearance on the prospect developmental series. He is committed and ready to seize this opportunity against an undefeated prospect.

 

 

 

“I need to take advantage of this opportunity,” Lopez said. “I think I have always performed well on ShoBox, and I have gained a lot of fans because I have been on a handful of times.Friday, I want to put on a great show, and then get in the mix with all of the top 122-pound fighters. I am recently married, and on Friday night, it will prove to be my time.”

 

 

 

“Adam knows that this is a big opportunity,” said GH3 Promotions CEO, Vito Mielnicki. “Adam has shown his willingness to take on all comers, and Friday will be no different. For him to be making his seventh ShoBox appearance, shows what kind of fighter he is.”

 

 

 

Lopez is promoted by GH3 Promotions.

‘BLUE COLLAR’ DEZURN NOT FAZED BY PRE-FIGHT HYPE, READY TO GO TO WORK AGAINST JOSH GREER ON SHOBOX: DEN NYE GENERATION PÅ FREDAG, MAJ 11

Efterlad en kommentar

Maryland native Glenn Dezurn says it really doesn’t matter what his normally talkative opponent, Chicago’s Josh “Don’t Blink” Greer (16-1-1, 8 KOS) says or does before they meet in their 10-round super-bantamweight showdown Friday, Maj 11 bor på SHOWTIME.

 

 

 

When you’re where he’s from and seen what he’s seen, inside the ring and out, an opponent who likes to talk doesn’t faze you. Overhovedet ikke.

 

 

The pair will meet in the co-featured bout of a ShoBox: Den nye generation quadrupleheader (10 p.m. ET / PT) fra 2300 Arena i Philadelphia.

 

Billetter til arrangementet, which is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions, Hard Hitting Promotions & Devin Haney Kampagner, er prissat til $125 for VIP, $70 for ringside og $50 for general admission and are available at the 2300 Arena Box office or online at www.HardHittingPromotions.com.

 

 

 

Dezurn (9-1-1, 6 KOS), der havde 94 amateur fights before turning professional five years ago, says opponent Greer, known for pre-fight hype including a pillow emblazoned with “Night Night,” is only hurting himself with the trash talk.

 

 

 

“The pressure isn’t on me,”Forklarede han. “Where I come from, if you talk it, make sure you can walk it. The pressure is on him to back up whatever he says. It doesn’t bother me. I’m more of a doer than a talker. I only speak when I need to.”

 

 

 

Describing himself as a “blue-collar” fighter, the humble Dezurn won’t make a pre-fight prediction heading into battle, but will only say that he and trainer Barry Hunter are treating this fight no differently.

 

 

 

“Nothing is written in stone in boxing and there is no guarantee of winning against any fighter. You put in the work and believe in yourself. Fights are won in the gym with hard work. I will win because of my personality and my work ethic. I come to do my job and put my life on the line to entertain. My game plan in every fight is always the same: I just make adjustments in the ring as the fight goes on and react to whatever he is doing. I have a high ring IQ and I can adjust to anything.”

 

 

 

The 30-year-old says he’s set one goal in boxing and is enjoying his journey to reach it.

 

 

 

“I want to win a world championship. I set that goal for myself and once I achieve that, I can go on to my other goals in other areas of life. I’m earning my way to the championship the hard way against good fighters. That’s what I want. I’m living my dreams right now. And I will get there one day.”

 

 

 

“You will not meet a more humble, more down-to-earth fighter than Glenn Dezurn,” said his promoter, Greg Cohen. “He and his wife, Franchon, are very nice people who work hard to get they are. Glenn isn’t about flash. He’s about doing everything you have to do to be successful and he will get wherever he wants to be in life because of that.”

 

 

 

In the 10-round main event on SHOWTIME, Louisiana’s Mason Menard (33-2, 24 KOS) takes on undefeated Devin “The Dream” Haney (18-0, 12 KOS) of Las Vegas for the USBA Lightweight Championship. I andre tv-transmitteret handling, light heavyweight Alvin Varmall Jr. (15-0-1, 12 KOS) takes on Charles Foster (15-0, 8 KOS) over otte runder; and in the opening bout, super bantamweight Arnold Khegai (11-0-1, 8 KOS) will face Adam Lopez (16-2-2, 8 KOS) i en otte-round Bout.

I’ve had surgery on it, and rehabbed it, and now I’m ready to return to the world stage. I’m in with a good, slick boxer, but my trainers have a game plan and we have been working on a few things that he does, just to be prepared for what’s to come against him. Jeg vil være klar."

 

 

 

Menard says the hardest part of preparing to face one of boxing’s most talked-about prospects on national television is the loneliness of missing his two beloved daughters, Demi (8 år) and newborn Amelia.

 

 

 

“I get homesick. I miss my babies back home, but it’ll all be worth it,"Sagde han. “It’s my job and I’m going to do it.”

Spence and Ocampo were welcomed with personalized Dallas Cowboys jerseys and an appearance from Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders at The Star as Spence prepares to make his first hometown world title defense. He last fought in Dallas in November 2015 but will now have a chance to excite his hometown fans in the first boxing event to take place inside Ford Center.

 

 

 

Billetter til arrangementet, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Man Down Promotions, go on sale Friday, Maj 4 på 10 a.m. CT and can be purchased at www.SeatGeek.com.

 

 

 

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday from the Dallas Cowboys Headquarters Atrium Interview Room at the Star:

 

ERROL Spence JR.

 

 

 

“Dette er en stor mulighed for mig. This has been a lifelong dream of mine. I can’t wait to fight in front of my hometown fans that have been rooting for me since the amateurs. It’s great to bring this event to Ford Center. I’m happy to defend my title against a great contender like Ocampo and I hope everyone comes out and supports their champion.

 

 

 

“I don’t think there’s any extra pressure fighting in my hometown. It’s just added motivation. Real pressure was fighting against 30,000 fans in the champion’s hometown for my first title against Kell Brook. This is me fighting in front of people who love me and who have seen me grow up as a boxer. I can’t wait to put on a show for them.

 

 

 

“Everybody poses a challenge in the ring. Ocampo is tough. He’s young and this is something he’s been fighting for his whole life. I know he’s coming to fight. Mexican fighters have a great tradition. They come to fight and they don’t back down. I know he’s going to give it his all and that gets me motivated.

 

 

 

“My motto is ‘Man Down’ and I have to live up to it. I don’t go in looking for the knockout, but I let it happen naturally. I let it come to me and we’re definitely going to let it happen on fight night.

 

 

 

“I feel like I’ve definitely earned this hometown fight. To go to another country and fight a champion in his hometown, and to win the belt, I think I deserve to defend my belt in front of my fans.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a great feeling being at this venue on fight night. When I was a kid, I thought I was going to be playing for the Cowboys. So this is just going to be a wonderful opportunity. I’ve already talked to a lot of Cowboys players who are excited to come see me fight.

 

 

 

“I do believe I’m the best welterweight in boxing right now. I’ve been trying to prove it for a long time. I’m never looking past anyone, but I’d love to fight Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter and when he’s back, Keith Thurman. I’m ready to fight the best in the division and prove I reign supreme over all of them.”

 

CARLOS OCAMPO

 

 

 

“I know that this is a great opportunity to be fighting here in Spence’s hometown. That’s a plus for me and it motivates me. I’m going to be ready to fight for 12 runder.

 

 

 

“It’s supposed to be tough with the crowd against me and I know I’m the underdog, but my mind is only on the fight. I’m just fighting one man, not a whole crowd. I know that I have what it takes.

 

 

 

“Spence is a very smart and tough fighter, but he doesn’t scare me. I’ve been working for this for too long and I will be 100 percent ready to win.

 

 

 

“I’ve had a very tough preparation and a very long camp. We’ve been sparring southpaws to prepare and so far everything has been smooth.

 

 

 

“Being here I am even more excited and more motivated to push hard these last weeks of training camp and come into this fight at my absolute best.

 

 

 

“I have been the underdog before and I’m prepared to once again overcome that. I’m not worried about what anybody else thinks of me or this fight. My mind is only on winning and being prepared to do whatever I have to.

 

 

 

“He can talk about knocking me out all he wants but I’m here too and I’m ready to knock him out on June 16.”

 

DERRICK JAMES, Spence træner

 

 

 

“Being at home, this fight is going to be about Errol keeping his focus and staying task. He’s always been able to do that. He’s motivated and driven. He’s the guy that you have to drag away from the gym.

 

 

 

“I never looked ahead to moments like this with Errol, from the beginning we just grinded away day by day. I was focused on enhancing his skillset and that’s what we’re still doing to this day.

 

 

 

“I’m able to keep my feelings bottled up until after a fight, because being at home there can be a lot of distractions. But of course, this event being here in Dallas is phenomenal. I’m most excited that my two daughters will be able to come to the fight.

 

 

 

“Errol has been training extremely hard like he always does. On the first day of sparring he did 15 runder med [WBC 154-pound champion] Jermell Charlo and [unbeaten light heavyweight] Adrian Taylor.

 

 

 

“The two of us just have to stay focused and everything comes naturally. It’s going to be a great show for this city and a great night for Errol.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Præsident, Sports and Event Programming, Showtime-netværk, Inc.

 

 

 

“SHOWTIME is the home of the biggest fights and brightest stars in boxing, so we are particularly thrilled to be here at the home of the best professional franchise in sports, the Dallas Cowboys. We’re proud to be bringing the first boxing event ever inside of the Ford Center and we can’t wait to show off these facilities on SHOWTIME in June.

 

 

 

“This is the first world title fight in Dallas in quite some time and I can’t think of anyone better to bring that here with than Errol Spence Jr. It’s fitting that the NFL Draft was here last week, because I think that if boxing had a draft, there’s a good argument Errol Spence Jr. would be the number one pick. He’s top pound-for-pound champion, he’s a popular draw and he’s in boxing’s most talent-rich division. He has the ‘Trainer of the Year’ in his corner and has won 10 straight fights by knockout, from contender to champion. That is the sign of a truly great fighter.

 

 

 

“The great thing about boxing and for Carlos Ocampo, is that none of those accolades matter on June 16. Rankings, opinions and belts don’t matter. It’s just two guys in a ring and only one man will win. He’s spent his whole life working for this opportunity and I believe that will make this an exciting event.

 

 

 

“As a Texas-native, I know that Dallas is a football town, it’s a good town for all sports but at its heart, Dallas is a football town. But I have great confidence that on June 16, Dallas will be a great boxing town as well.”

 

TOM BROWN, Formand for TGB Promotions

 

 

 

 

“With IBF Welterweight World Champion Errol Spence Jr. making his homecoming debut at this great venue, the Headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys, I know that this is going to be a hot ticket and one you’ll want to purchase right way.

 

 

 

“A lot of hard work went into getting this event together at this great venue and we’re thrilled to be working with the team here at Ford Center to bring it to the fight fans of this city.

 

 

 

“Errol Spence is one of most talked about fighters in the sport. Many consider him the best welterweight and perhaps the best fighter in the world. He’s also made it known that he’s willing to prove that and fight the best in the division. But he can’t afford to look past this young undefeated challenger from Mexico, in Carlos Ocampo. He’s fought his whole life for this opportunity and is here to make the most of it. It’s going to be a great night and a great homecoming for Errol Spence Jr. on June 16.”

 

STEPHEN JONES, Chief Operating Officer of the Dallas Cowboys

 

 

 

“These are two really special young men on this stage and this is the kind of event that we had in mind when we opened The Star. To be able to have great athletes like these as part of unique events at The Star is something we’re very excited about.

 

 

 

“We like to create versatility for this venue and we want to bring all types of sporting events here. This doesn’t happen without the city of Frisco and the Frisco independent school district. We’re also honored to partner with TGB Promotions and Premier Boxing Champions for this groundbreaking announcement.

 

 

 

“It’s known how energetic the sport of boxing is, but to be able to host Errol Spence Jr. and have him represent our city will be an unforgettable experience for all. Carlos Ocampo is a quality opponent who is also unbeaten. I admire both of you men and I look forward to watching you on June 16.”

Spence (23-0, 20 KOS) returned home with the welterweight title last May after defeating champion Kell Brook in Brook’s hometown of Sheffield, England.

A 2012 US. Olympian at the London Games, Spence has knocked out 10 straight opponents to climb the ranks of the division. In the wake of Floyd Mayweather’s retirement from boxing, four of the top-five ranked welterweights-Danny Garcia of Philadelphia, Shawn Porter of Las Vegas, Keith Thurman of Clearwater, Fla., and Spence-are all vying for the top spot in one of history’s most popular weight classes.

 

 

 

“I’m honored to be fighting in Dallas before my hometown fans and the people who have supported me from the beginning,” said Spence, who last fought in Dallas in 2015, a knockout victory over Alejandro Barrera. “This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. It’s going to be great to fight at The Star, and because I’m a big Dallas Cowboys fan, I’m looking forward to fighting on the campus of Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters.

 

 

 

“I believe that I’m the number one fighter in the welterweight division and I’ll step into the ring on June 16 with that feeling. I’m going to draw from the energy of my fans. I’ve studied some of Ocampo and I can tell he likes to box but he’s willing to get into a fight. I know how he feels going into someone else’s hometown for his first shot at the title. This is his big opportunity and it’s going to make this a great event.”

 

 

 

The 22-year-old Ocampo (22-0, 13 KOS) will be taking a major step forward in his career with this mandatory title challenge against Spence. Ocampo, af Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico will be making his U.S. debut and fighting professionally outside of Mexico for the first time. Ocampo is a two-time silver medalist at the Mexican Olympiad, an amateur national championship tournament. His holds significant professional victories over former world title challengers Jorge Paez, Jr. and Charlie Navarro while he most recently scored a seventh round stoppage of Dario Ferman in November.

 

 

 

“I’m training very hard for my fight against Errol Spence Jr.,” said Ocampo. “This is the opportunity that I’ve worked my whole life to get and I’m coming to take Spence’s belt on June 16. I will give the fans a very exciting fight and show once again what Mexican fighters are made of.”

Efter kampen talte Spence til SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray og var hurtig til at give kredit til sin modstander. ”Jeg vil gerne takke Lamont,"Sagde han. ”En masse fyre skruet ned kampen, og han tog det som en rigtig kriger, og jeg vil rose ham for det. He’s a tough fighter. He’s willing to die in there.” Click HER at se interviewet højdepunkt.

 

 

 

Trods tjene sejren i kommanderende mode, Spence stadig mener, at han har plads til at forbedre. ”Jeg kan stadig forbedre en masse på min forsvar,”Sagde den ubesejrede verdensmester. ”Jeg skal bare holde perfektionere mine færdigheder og holde skrider. Du kommer til at se en bedre Errol Spence næste gang jeg får i ringen.

 

 

 

”Alle ved, jeg har ventet på’Some Time’Thurman,”Sagde Spence, ser frem til en mulig forening match med WBC og WBA Weltervægt verdensmester Keith Thurman. ”Siden jeg var 15-0 I’ve been calling this guy out and he keeps making excuses. Lad os få det på. Han har to af remmene og vi begge har store navne. Det er en nem kamp at gøre, og jeg vil have det.”

 

 

 

Peterson, der kæmpede tappert mod den yngre Spence, respekteret afgørelsen af ​​sin træner til at stoppe kampen, ”Hvis han beder mig om at bekæmpe en million mennesker, Jeg vil. Hvis han beder mig om at stoppe. Jeg vil stoppe. Jeg vil aldrig spørgsmålstegn ved hans beslutning. Jeg ved, at han har mine bedste interesser på hjerte.”

 

 

 

”Det var virkelig hårdt, men hvis du kender Lamont, du ved, at han ikke ville give op,”Sagde træner Barry Hunter. ”Jeg var nødt til at stoppe det. Ved slutningen af ​​dagen, dette er min søn lige her. Der er ikke noget mere værdifuldt end hans velbefindende. Hvis det drejer sig om ham eller vinde, Jeg bryde boldens. Jeg holder af ham.”

 

 

Undefeated 135-pound world champion Robert Påske (21-0, 14 KOS) earned a split decision victory over former world champion Javier Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 KOS) i co-main event af SHOWTIME fjersynsudsendelse. Dommerne scorede kampen 114-113, 113-114 og 115-112.

 

 

 

Den back-og-tilbage Bout oplevede to dygtige kæmpere blive i lommen og ser til at gøre skade indefra. En anden runde punkt fradrag fra Fortuna viste sig dyrt, når den Dominikanske blev advaret og derefter straffet for at ramme bag hovedet påske. Uden et point fradrag, kampen ville have været scoret uafgjort. Mens påske Jr. var lidt travle, Fortuna landede de mere magtfulde slag. Påske Jr., der holdt en betydelig højde fordel, ud landede Fortuna, tilslutning på 120 af 383 (31 procent) power slag mens Fortuna tilsluttes på 113 af 441 (26 procent).

 

 

 

”Det var en hård kamp, han er en tidligere verdensmester for en grund,”Påske fortalte Grå. ”Vi gjorde det svært at forsøge at imødegå slag. Han var ikke kaste meget, og det gjorde det svært for mig at jage denne fyr rundt.

 

 

 

“Jeg kunne ikke få knockout, men vi fik den sejr, og det er alt, der betyder noget. Jeg vidste, at han skulle til at køre, når han følte min magt. Han ville bare gribe og holde hele kampen.”

 

 

 

Ser frem til, Påske gjorde hans hensigter klart som han søger forening anfald i den nærmeste fremtid, ”Jeg ønsker at bekæmpe mestre og forene disse bælter. Kampe som disse er ikke i min slagplan. Jeg er klar til Mikey Garcia og Jorge Linares at underskrive kontrakten.”

 

 

 

En utilfreds Fortuna talte også til grå, ”Offentligheden ved, hvad der skete her. De buhet fordi de ved, at jeg har vundet denne kamp.

 

 

 

”Hvis han er en mand lad os kæmpe igen ved 135-pounds,”Sagde Fortuna, who failed to make weight on two attempts Fredag, hvilket betød, at påsken bælte ikke ville være på linje. ”Jeg vil helt sikkert gøre vægten. Jeg ikke give mig selv tid nok til at træne.”

 

 

 

Unbeaten light heavyweight contender Marcus Browne (21-0, 16 KOS) lavet hurtig arbejde Francy Ntetu (17-2, 4 KOS) i SHOWTIME Championship Boxing prelims handling, as he dropped and battered his opponent early to force referee Arthur Mercante to stop the bout at just 2:15 af første runde. Kæmper for sin 12th time at the Barclays Center, den 27 årige Staten Island indfødte holdt sin fejlfrit rekord intakt ved at udnytte sin stærke venstre hånd på overmatched Ntetu.

En byge af kraftige kombinationer landede på forsvarsløse Ntetu forlod dommeren med lidt indstilling men at stoppe kampen med 45 sekunder tilbage af runde nummer et.

 

 

 

“Vi arbejdede for denne sejr. Han gik ind i en sikker skud og jeg fik ham til at betale,”Sagde Browne. ”The overhånd venstre fangede ham, og det var begyndelsen til enden for ham. Jeg vidste, at han kom til skade.

 

 

 

“Jeg har brug for en verden titel skud. Jeg er klar til at tage på en hvilken som helst af de mestre. Jeg har ikke nogen præferencer. Jeg er glad for jeg sat sammen en anden stor præstation her på Barclays Centre. Jeg har tænkt mig at holde bedre, indtil jeg virkelig blevet hr. Barclays Center.”

 

 

 

kredit, der flyttede op til lyset sværvægter division for denne kamp, havde svært ved at håndtere Browne kombination af hastighed og kraft på vej til den anden tabet af sin professionelle karriere.

 

 

 

"[Browne] er meget eksplosiv, tillykke til ham,” Said Ntetu. “Han er hurtigt, han er smart og jeg havde ikke forventet ham til at være, at eksplosive. Han fik mig med sin højre krog og en lige venstre.

 

 

 

”Jeg var i nok form til at kæmpe for 10 runder. Det er ikke min vægtklasse, men jeg ønsker ikke at komme med undskyldninger.”

 

 

 

Ved indledningen anfald af den SHOWTIME Boksning prelims, ubesejret Adam Kownacki (17-0, 14 KOS) delivered a brutal knockout of Iago Kiladze (26-2, 18 KOS) på 2:08 of the sixth round of their heavyweight matchup. Kownacki, født i Lomza, Polen, men kæmper ud af Brooklyn, New York, nydt støtte fra sin hjemby crowd som han støt bar Kiladze ned.

 

 

 

Kownacki var den mere aggressive og præcise af de to kæmpere, landing 43 procent af hans magt slag og 35 procent af hans samlede slag, sammenlignet med blot 30 procent og 18 procent, henholdsvis, til Kiladze. På trods af en blodig næse, der Kownacki lidt i første runde, den polske sværvægter begyndte at hælde det på og dæk Kiladze med en serie af uppercuts og one-to kombinationer i fjerde runde. Den actionfyldte anfald ophørte når Kownacki forbundet på en kombination af to uppercuts og en højre hånd, der sendte Kiladze på ryggen i det sidste minut af den sjette runde.

“Jeg er så taknemmelig for alle mine polske fans, der kommer ud og give mig den ekstra støtte”, sagde Kownacki, der kæmpede foran hundredvis af hans landsmænd. ”Jeg har tænkt mig at fortsætte med at kæmpe for fans og give alle en stor udstilling.

 

 

 

“Jeg tror, ​​jeg gjorde kampen meget hårdere, end jeg burde have. Det er en anden lærerig oplevelse, og jeg fik den sejr. Det er alt, der betyder noget.”

 

 

 

Republikken Georgien-fødte Kiladze, der kæmper ud af Los Angeles, var ude af stand til at tale med medierne, da han blev taget til NYU lutherske Hospital for forebyggende årsager.
