“The Special One” Sharad Collier Back in action Oct. 10 at Foxwoods

Leave sa usa ka comment

 

Hartford, Conn. (August 21, 2018) – Hartford blue-chip prospect “The Special One” Sharad Collier returns to action October 20, on a show presented by CES Boxing, at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.

 

 

 

The two-time New England Golden Gloves champion made his professional debut this past June 16, on his promoter’s Hartford Boxing Promotions’ inaugural event, “Fight Night at The Capital”, in which he registered a sensational first-round knockout of Antonio Castillo Jr. (1-1), at Xfinity Centre in Hartford.

 

 

 

Collier will step-up in competition, fighting in to his first scheduled six-round bout Oct, 20, against undefeated Springfield, MA welterweight Derrick Whitley, Jr. (4-0, 0 KOs), the son and uncle of well-known retired New England fighters.

 

 

 

“I feel the same as I did in my pro debut, maybe less pressure, but I’m more familiar with the guy I’m fighting October 20th,” Collier said. “I fought and beat his cousin and brother in the amateurs. I feel like he’s out for revenge for them.

 

 

 

“I’m motivated to be fighting at Foxwoods. I feel like that’s fighting under the big lights, where I fought once as an amateur. I signed my contract the first day, I’ve been training hard in the gym every day. My pro debut was against a 1-0 guy, my second is against another undefeated fighter. I believe in my skills. I want to separate myself to show people that I am special.”

 

 

 

The 21-year-Collier has dedicated his boxing career to his uncle and father. His uncle was murdered three years ago, outside of a venue in which Sharad was boxing and his father has been in and out of prison. Collier grew up in toughest part of (south) Hartford, spent time in a detention center and, at times, lived in and out of foster homes.

 

 

 

“It was my idea to move up now to six rounds,” Collier noted. “I’m familiar with my opponent. I’m not sleeping on this kid but, if I don’t get him out early, it will just mean there are more rounds for me to beat him up.”

 

 

 

“We’re excited,” Collier’s promoter Tony White dugang pa. “Sa iyang pro debut, he was up against a 1-0 kontra, and now he’s stepping up to fight a 4-0 opponent in his first six-round fight. That’s why they call him’ The Special One.'”

 

 

 

Here’s what ‘Special’ stands for: S = speed, P = power, E = enthusiasm, C = charisma, I = intelligence, A = athleticism, L = looks.

MASHANTUCKET, CT (Hunyo 4, 2017) – Ang katingad-an nga pagbalik sa Matt “Hait nga Tigpamusil” Remillard nagpadayon kagabii samtang ang sikat nga lightweight sa Connecticut nahunong Fatiou Fassinou sa Broadway Boxing headliner nga gihimo sa Fox Theatre, sa Foxwoods Resort Casino, sa Mashantucket, CT.
Ang Broadway Boxing Ang serye gipasiugda sa DiBella Entertainment ug gipresentar sa Nissan of Queens, Mga Pagbantay sa Azad, OPTYX, ug Christos Steak House.
Remillard, 30, mao ang No.. 2-adunay ranggo nga featherweight sa kalibutan sa 2011, sa dihang napildi siya sa umaabot nga kampeon sa kalibutan Mikey Garcia (LRTD11). Nakig-away gikan sa Manchester, CT, Ang away karong gabii mao ang una ni Remillard sa iyang estado nga natapos sa unom ka tuig ug tunga, tungod sa iyang pagsilbi sa lima ka tuig nga sentensya sa pagkabilanggo. Mibalik siya sa ring kaniadtong miaging Abril, pagkuha usa ka walo ka hugna nga desisyon gikan Augustine Mauras, sa Worcester, MA.
Sa opening round, Remillard (25-1, 14 KOs) ug ang madanihon nga lumad nga Benin, kanhi kampeyon sa WBC International Silver nga si Fassinou (27-6-3, 14 KOs) Nagkaila ang usag usa ingon nga mabinantayon ang parehas nga mga manggugubat. Gibuksan ni Remillard sa ikaduhang hugna, gamit ang iyang wala sa lawas, ihulog si Fassinou sa iyang kanto sa katapusang segundo. Gipilit ni Remillard ang aksyon sa ikatulo, peppering Fassinou sa palibot sa singsing sa iyang pamilyar nga istilo sa pagsilot, pagbutang Fassinou sa iyang “Hait nga Tigpamusil” mga talan-awon alang sa target nga praktis sa ikaupat. Si Fassinou napakyas sa pagtubag sa kampana alang sa ikalimang hugna.
“Batok sa usa ka southernpaw, ang wala nga kawit sa atay naa didto, usa ka suntok nga akong nailhan,” Nagkomento si Remillard pagkahuman sa away. “Siya usa ka gamay nga sloppier kaysa sa akong gilauman. Mibati ko og maayo; Ako 24/7 sa gym. Tingali adunay pa ako usa ka away karong tuiga aron makuha ang pila nga mga hugna, ug unya pag-andam alang sa usa ka dako 2018. Gusto nako og rematch si Garcia, sa 135 o 140 libra, 100-porsyento. Utang ko niya og rematch. Ang lalaki nga gibunalan niya dili ako.”
Ruslan Shamalov (L) & Si George Arias mibalik sa Fight of the Night
Sa co-bahin, duha nga gibug-aton sa New York City, 6’5″ Russian nga Ruslan Shamalov (4-1, 3 KOs) ug Dominican “Lalaki” George arias (7-0, 3 KOs), nakig-away gikan sa Brooklyn ug sa Bronx, sa tinagsa, gibutang ang ilang wala’y pilde nga mga rekord sa linya. Ang kusog nga mga pagsuntok sa kuryente ni Shamalov nag-uyog sa labi ka mubo nga 5'11” Arias sa unang hugna, apan si Arias nagpugong sa mga lubid ug labing maayo nga nakaboksing sa ikaduha. Nagbayloay ang mga bomba og bomba sa tibuuk nga ikatulong hugna ug, bisan unsaon, ang ikaupat labi ka maayo sa pabalik-balik, dili paghunong nga aksyon. Ang lakang mikunhod gamay sa ikalima nga hugna, pagtakda sa entablado alang sa usa ka bomba nga wala sa ikaunom ug katapusan nga bayanan nga wala makapakyas.
Nagpakig-away sila Shamalov ug Arias, labi na sa mga heavyweights, sa usa ka lehitimo nga unom ka hugna “Fight sa Tuig” kandidato. Arias, ang pinuno sa Team Wash Em’ Didto sa Bronx, Nagdaog sa us aka unom ka hugna nga unanimous decision pinaagi sa daghang puntos 60-54, 59-55, ug 58-56.
“Kini nga kadaugan nakapahiuyon sa akon,” Miingon ang usa ka labi nga nalipay nga Arias, pagkahuman sa una niyang unom ka hugna nga away. “Naa koy plano sa dula, pero kausa gipasakitan niya ako sa unang hugna, akong kasingkasing ang mipuli ug nakig-away ra ko. Gusto nakong makig-away alang sa mga tawo, busa akong gikuptan ang una imbis nga magduko.”
Mykquan Williams (R) sayo nga nagsaulog sa iyang graduation sa high school
Paborito sa kadaghanan “Kahibulongan” Mykquan Williams (7-0, 4 KOs) Gihatagan ang iyang kaugalingon usa ka sayo nga graduation sa high school samtang gipilde sa East Hartford fighter ang Nicaraguan welterweight Ariel “Gubat” Vasquez (13-18-2, 9 KOs) sa una nga unom ka hugna nga away. Ang 19-anyos nga si Williams, usa ka lima ka beses nga nasudnon nga kampyon sa amateur, us aka bituon nga nagtubo nga adunay tumang pagtaas. Naabut lapas sa iyang katuigan, Gikontrol ni Williams ang lakang kontra sa iyang gisulayan nga panagsangka sa Southpaw, nga mao ang 11 tuig Williams’ senior, nagpakita sa iyang daghang arsenal sa mga suntok, labi na ang iyang wala ug tuo nga kombinasyon nga kanunay modunggo. Williams’ ang dali nga mga kamot mibuto sa unang higayon sa pagtapos sa ikaduhang hugna, Unya gikuha niya ang iyang pag-atake sa ikatulo, sa iyang pagbiyahe sa usa ka unom ka hugna nga desisyon sa shutout, nga adunay tulo nga mga taas nga 60-54.
Nagtapos si Williams sa Hunyo 20 gikan sa Prince Tech. “Maayo kana nga presentasyon sa pagtapos,” Williams miingon. “Ang akong kadali sa kamut nagdula usa ka dako nga hinungdan. Siya usa ka malisud nga tawo, labi na sa una nakong unom nga round.”
Jennifer salinas (R) daghan kaayo alang kang Marquita Lee
featherweight champion Jennifer “Ang Bolivia nga Rayna” Salinas (20-4, 5 KOs) napildi Marquita Lee (3-5) pinaagi sa usa ka malisud nga giaway nga unom ka hugna nga nagkahiusa nga desisyon. Salinas, away gikan sa Providence, ang nang-agaw sa tibuuk, apan si Lee wala gyud mohimo usa ka paatras nga lakang. Mga scorecard 59-55 kaduha, ug 58-56, tanan para kay Salinas.
Nakig-away sa labi ka daghang kasinatian ug taas nga kaatbang gikan sa Africa, saad ni Lynn, MA paglaum Khiry “TNT” Todd (5-0, 5 KOs) nagdaog sa iyang ikalimang pro nga away, tanan pinaagi sa knockout. Usa ka 2016 Bag-ong England Golden gwantes champion, Nakuha ni Todd ang daghang kasinatian kontra sa cagey super welterweight Nicolas Sarouna (12-9-1, 9 KOs), sa Togo, kinsa miluhod human maigo sa usa ka sneaky uppercut sa ikatulong hugna. Wala mapilde ni Sarouna ang 10-count samtang gipaayo ni Todd ang iyang perpektong record, nga adunay paghunong sa TKO sa 1:32 marka.
Gibiyaan ni Radzhab Butaev si Abraham Alvarez sa banig nga adunay grabe nga kasakit
Wala’y pilde nga prospek sa middleweight sa Russia Radzhab “Ang Python” Butaev (6-0, 4 KOs) sobra ra kaayo alang sa Mexico Abraham “Ang matulin” Alvarez (20-11-1, 11 KOs). Sayo nga gihulog ni Butaev si Alvarez gamit ang usa ka daotan nga left hook, nga gikan niini wala gyud hingpit nga makabawi si Alvarez. Usa ka brutal nga tuo sa atay nga gibutang usab ang banig sa Mexico, sa klaro nga kasakit, ingon referee Joey Lupino gilayon nga gitabyog ang away sa 1:05 sa round sa usa ka.
Cuban cruiserweight Luis “Ang leon” Garcia (15-0, 12 KOs) gitago ang iyang perpekto nga rekord sa pro nga adunay first-round knockout sa iyang labaw nga kaatbang nga Mehikano Felipe Romero (19-14-1, 13 KOs), nakig-away gikan sa San Diego. Karon nagpuyo sa Peekskill, NY, Gipahulog ni Garcia si Romero pinaagi sa usa ka overhand nga tuo sa nagbukas nga segundo ug wala gyud siya mohawa, Kanunay nga gisakitan si Romero sa usa ka serye sa mga naguba nga mga katungod. Gisira ni Garcia ang pasundayag pinaagi sa usa ka powerhouse uppercut, nanguna nga referee Johnny callas aron mahunong ang aksyon sa 1:48 marka.
Tulo ka higayon nga miyembro sa koponan sa Puerto Rican National Boxing Jose sa Roma (4-0, 3 KOs) milakaw sa layo sa unang higayon kontra sa usa ka dula William Hill (2-3), sa Detroit. Ang hanas nga Puerto Rican nga super welterweight nagbutang presyon gikan sa nagbukas nga kampana, gamit ang usa ka mabangis nga pag-atake sa lawas sa Hill, kinsa nakulong sa lubid alang sa kadaghanan sa away. Nagtaas ang mga hukom 40-36 kaduha, ug 39-37, tanan alang kang Roman pinaagi sa unanimous decision.
##
Nakig-away usab ang wala’y pilde nga featherweight contender sa DiBella Entertainment nga si Luis Rosa sa Sabado, nag-ulohan ang usa ka kard sa Floyd Little Athletic Center sa iyang lungsod nga natawhan sa New Haven, CT, atubang ni Carlos Osorio, sa Managua, Nicaragua. Gipugos ni Rosa ang iyang kontra sa tibuuk nga indigay, gisul-ob siya sa usa ka padayon nga pag-atake sa lawas. Si Osorio nagdula ug adunay gahi nga jab, bisan ang mga kombinasyon sa paborito nga gigikanan sa sulud nakatabang sa pagminus sa output sa suntok sa Nicaraguan. Nagtoo nga si Osorio nakakuha og daghang silot, gihunong sa referee ang indigay sa 1:25 timaan sa round unom ka, nga gihatagan ang kadaugan ni TKO kay Rosa. Uban sa kadaugan, Nagpaayo si Rosa sa 23-0 (11 KOs), samtang ang rekord ni Osorio nahulog sa 13-7 (5 KOs).

He participated in the World Series of Boxing as well, finishing at 9-1.
A native of the boxing rich city of Bayamon, Puerto Rico, Jose sa Roma (3-0, 3 KOs) will make his US debut in a four-round welterweight contest.

MASHANTUCKET, Conn. (Hulyo 23, 2016) – With a potential title shot on the line, Adam Lopez and Roman Reynoso fought to a 10-round draw in the main event of the 15-year anniversary telecast of ShoBox: Ang Bag-ong Henerasyon Biyernes sa Showtime® from Foxwoods Resort Casino.

 

In attendance ringside before the fight, newly crowned IBF Junior Featherweight World Champion Jonathan Guzman (22-0, 22 KOs) announced that he’d like fight the winner of Lopez-Reynoso, raising the stakes for this matchup of 122-pound prospects. While the fight was close and entertaining, analyst Steve Farhood, who has called all 219ShoBox telecasts, didn’t believe either fighter did enough to earn an immediate title shot against Guzman.

 

The fight looked like a toss-up heading into the 10th – with Lopez leading by just one connect after nine rounds – and the Ronnie Shields pupil came up with a huge final round rally. The undefeated prospect hurt Reynoso (18-1-2, 7 KOs) in the final seconds with a flurry of shots, forcing the Argentine spit out his mouthpiece to buy himself nearly 30 seconds of rest. Seemingly out on his feet, Reynoso somehow survived the onslaught without falling to the canvas before the final bell. Lopez (15-0-1, 7 KOs) out-landed Reynoso 34-21 overall and 34-20 in power shots in the final round, but it wasn’t enough to earn him the victory.

 

Judge Don Ackerman saw Lopez a 96-94 winner, while Bill Morande had it 97-93 Reynoso, and Peter Hary cast the deciding ballot at 95-95. All three judges scored the last round 10-9 for Lopez. Had Reynoso fell to the canvas in the final seconds, ang 10-8 round would have given Lopez the win.

 

"Kini mao ang usa ka lisud nga away. He didn’t want to engage,"Miingon Lopez, who out-landed Reynoso 158-144 overall and 131-125 in power shots. “He’s slick and experienced and a good fighter. I feel that this was my best performance on ShoBox. I have been working on new things with Ronnie Shields and it showed in there. I know I hurt him in the last round.

 

“The decision was bullshit. He could not hit me.”

 

“It was a close fight, but I feel I won,” Reynoso said. “He never hurt me. The only thing that surprised me is that he was more aggressive than in other fights. I hurt my hand from hitting him.”

 

Late replacement Jerry Odom knocked out previously once-beaten Julius Jackson with a vicious third round knockout (1:57) sa ShoBoxco-bahin.

 

Jackson (19-2, 15 KOs), the son of former two-division world champion Julian “The Hawk” Jackson, was outworking Odom through two rounds, who took the fight 10-days notice after Ronaldo Ellis suffered a hand injury. That was until Washington, D.C.’s Odom (14-2-1, 13 KOs) clocked Jackson with a flush right counter shot with one minute left in the third, spelling the end for Jackson, who couldn’t beat the count and suffered his second consecutive knockout loss.

 

“I saw the right hand. I was throwing combinations and I saw the opening and landed a good shot,"Odom miingon. “As opposed to the last couple fights, I am in a great place physically, mental ug espirituwal nga paagi. I have a great team around me. We are unbreakable.”

 

“He threw the punch at the right time and caught me,"Jackson miingon. “I was OK, but the referee stopped the fight. I felt up until that point, I was boxing well and winning every round.”

 

Rolando Chinea won a close, eight-round split decision victory over O’Shaquie Foster (10-2, 7 KOs) in a matchup of lightweights, mi-iskor og 79-73 (Chinea), 77-75 (Foster) ug 78-74 (Chinea).

 

Chinea (13-1-1, 6 KOs) was the aggressor, dictating the tempo of the fight from the outset. And while most rounds were extremely close – closer than the relatively wide scorecards – Chinea’s activity was the difference. Chinea threw 733 total kumo, compared to 641 for Foster, and he edged Foster by nearly 150 gahum sa kinumo (592-449).

 

“He is a hell of a fighter and it was fun to fight him,” said Chinea, who was largely able to minimize the jab, Foster’s best weapon. “Like I said before the fight, he could not take pressure. I brought the pressure. I blocked and slipped a lot of his punches. My will and desire to win outweighed his will to punch.

 

“He did not take my pressure well. I worked my shots well inside and that was a difference in the fight.”

 

Foster, who’s record fell to 10-2 uban sa 7 KOs, complained that he “had distractions and couldn’t focus.”

 

Sa pag-abli bout sa telecast, Ian Green handed previously undefeated super welterweight prospect Khiary Gray the first loss of his career with a stunning second round TKO (2:50).

 

With former world champion and fellow Paterson, N.J., Kendall Holt in his corner, Green (10-1, 8 KOs) came from behind to floor Gray with a big right cross to the chin that sent him tumbling face-forward into the canvas. Gray, a local favorite from nearby Worchester, Misa., tried to hold on with just 30 segundos sa round, but he couldn’t make it to the break and was falling backward into the ropes when the referee halted the contest.

 

“I got him good, and I got him out of there,” said Green, who out-landed Gray 14-0 in the final minute. “He got me good one time, but I kept my left hand up and hung in there. We’re going all the way up. This is just the start.”

 

Gray (13-1, 10 KOs), who was seemingly in control of the fight and rocking Green with ease, nahimong 151st fighter to suffer his initial defeat on the prospect developmental series.

 

“He just caught me,” Gray said. “I don’t even know what punch it was. I didn’t even see it. I tried to hold on and waste some time, but I got caught again. I just need to get back to the gym and fix my mistakes. I’ll bounce back.”

 

Biyernes four-fight telecast will re-air this Monday sa 10 sa gabii. UG/PT sa Showtime hilabihang.

KATAPUSANG mga kinutlo:

ADAM LOPEZ:
“I’ve experienced and grown a lot over my last few fights. I’ve learned a lot about myself and overcame adversity. All my fights on ShoBox have been tough, but I’m hoping for a breakthrough victory sa Biyernes to prove I’m ready to face a contender.

“Reynoso is a tough fighter. We know he swings for the fences. Because he’s from Argentina, a lot of people call him a little Marcos Maidana. He’s probably the toughest opponent so far, but we’re ready for whatever he brings.

“I’m back to training with Ronnie Shields. I was with Ronnie for my first five fights and it’s good to be back. Ronnie is working on my jab and helping improve my basic fundamentals.

“I want to win and look good doing it. If I get the KO, that’s great, but I’m not going to look for it. I don’t want to be on the canvas looking for it.

“We want to show that we’re ready for bigger and better fights. But we know we can’t look past this guy.”

ROMAN REYNOSO:
“This is the biggest fight of my career. Everything is motivating for me. I want the best for my family, and winning a fight like this can help me get there.

“We moved up to Montreal for training camp and we’ve improved a lot. We’ve developed defense and a better boxing style. We used to be about just coming forward and punching, but we’re working on our movement, our boxing skills.

“We are coming here to exploit Adam Lopez. We’re here to upset him.

“I know he has a big left hook, but we’re going to take that away. We know he has a height and reach advantage, but we like to fight wars. If he wants a war, we’re prepared. If he wants to run, we’re prepared. We’ll see if he will be able to figure out how to beat me.

“I’m used to being the shorter fighter. It doesn’t bother me.

“I look up to (Marcos) Maidana, but he has his own style. I don’t try to mimic that.

“This is my first time moving down to 122 libra. In Argentina, it was hard to get fights at 122 – most of my fights were at 126 – but fighting at 122 is more natural for me. Kini ang among gipangita.

On Matias Carlos Adrian Rueda, who fights Oscar Valdez for the WBO Featherweight Championship sa Sabado:
“That’s the only boxer who has beaten me. We wish him the best. We were looking for the rematch, but it didn’t happen. Sa umaabot, it needs to happen.”

Jerry Odom:
“I’ve been training all summer. Opportunities come and go. I was taught that when a window opens you have to jump in. That’s why we took this fight.

“We’re not thinking about his (Jackson’s) last fight. That isn’t going to dictate our game plan. We know the opportunities to knock him out are there, but we need to worry about our game plan.

“I’ve watched tape on him. He still has the same posture, he has no finesse. He’s a straight up type of fighter. Nothing we can’t handle.

“Records don’t mean anything. You look at my record and see I have two losses. That doesn’t mean anything, doesn’t define me. He better not be overlooking me because I have two losses. That would be a big mistake.”

Julius Jackson:
“The loss made me hungrier. I just got hurt. He hit me and I just couldn’t recover.

“My team is confident I’m still a high-level fighter. We don’t just want opponents. We want guys that will test us.

“The change in opponents doesn’t affect us. We’re just trying to perfect ‘The Chef.’ We want to get in there and do what it takes to win.

“There’s definitely pressure. We know if I lose ugma it will set me back even more. But we’re not thinking about that. We’re coming to win. This is an opportunity to erase my loss.

“Odom comes to fight. That’s what makes this an exciting fight. We’re both coming to fight.”

O’SHAQUIE FOSTER:
“Chinea is a one-punch puncher. He’s suitable to my style. We like the pressure he brings. We can break him down, break his will.

“I’m supposed to be here. The loss in my first fight on ShoBox was a fluke. I showed in my last ShoBox fight that I belong here.

“I don’t see anyone at lightweight that can beat me. I’m only 22, but at this point next year we want to be considered a contender for a title shot.”

ROLANDO CHINEA:
“I’ve studied tape on him. He’s an accomplished fighter. But I know he doesn’t like pressure, and my style revolves around pressure. So he’s a tailor-made fighter for me.

“We’re going to do what we do best: apply pressure.

“This is my TV debut and I’m ready to make a statement. This is an opportunity that I need to take advantage of.

“We’ve done everything we can in the gym. We’re been sparring with top fighters in Philadelphia. We’re ready to go.”

KHIARY GRAY:
“I’m more of a boxer than a KO guy. I have a lot of knockouts, but that’s not what I’m always looking for. I consider myself more of a boxer.

“I’ve always had late replacements in my fights, so that doesn’t give us a problem. I’ve seen clips of him, and we’re ready for him.

“Going 10 rounds was a good experience for me. It taught me that my conditioning was there. That I can go the distance if I need to.

“I switch to lefty when I have to. I can fight the whole fight lefty if I need to.

“I sparred with Edwin (Rodriguez) recently, sparred with Demetrius Andrade. It’s good work with those guys. I can hold my own in the gym with them.

“There’s pressure fighting on TV, but I feel comfortable. People are going to know me after this. They’ll know that I’m ready to be a contender in the 154-pound division.”

IAN GREEN:
“I’ve been in the gym since April. I was supposed to fight on Hulyo 30, but this was a better opportunity and I jumped on it.

“We have Kendall Holt in our corner, and we hope to be the next fighter from Paterson to win a title.

“Gray is an aggressive guy, but my range and height is an advantage. I don’t think he’s faced anyone like me. He’s been touched a few times.

“Once you see me ugma, you’ll see the real Ian Green.”

Barry Tompkins will call the ShoBox action from ringside with Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez will serve as expert analysts. The executive producer is Gordon Hall with Rich Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.

Lopez, Ellis and Foster fought on GH3’s Feb. 19 ShoBox at Atlantic City. Lopez and Foster triumphed; Ellis boxed a draw.

 

Adam Lopez vs. Roman Ruben Reynoso: 10-round bantamweight bout

The steadily improving Lopez, now trained by Houston-based Ronnie Shields, will be making his fourth ShoBox start since March 2015. In his first three, he defeated previously unbeaten prospects (combined record: 44-0-2) on each occasion.

 

Last Feb. 19, the 5-foot-7, 25-year-old Lopez captured a career-best, highly competitive 10-round decision over Mario Muñoz (16-0-1) sa Mexico. Lopez survived a nasty cut over his right eye to win by the scores of 98-92 makaduha ug 97-93. In his other fights on ShoBox, Lopez won a (then personal-best) 10-round majority decision over DominicanEliecer Aquino (17-0-1) sa Hulyo 17, 2015, and by second-round knockout over Pablo Cruz (11-0) sa Marso 13, 2015.

 

Regarding his upcoming fight against Reynoso, Lopez said, “Everything is good. I’m starting to turn up my sparring. I have switched trainers to Ronnie Shields sa Houston. I see a lot of improvement since my last fight.

 

“Reynoso is a good fighter from Argentina. He is in Canada now, so I am sure he is getting good sparring there. He is kind of wild, but guys like that are hard to fight because you don’t know where the punches are coming from, but we will be prepared for anything.”

 

Born in Phoenix and raised in Los Angeles, Lopez moved to San Antonio at 15. Siya miadto 125-23 in the amateurs and won six national championships before turning pro at 21 sa Pebrero 2012.

The 25-year-old Reynoso brings a 10-fight winning streak into his United States and ShoBox debut. A five-year pro, the South American lightweight champion fought his initial 18 fights in Buenos Aires before winning his last fight and lone start this year on a decision over Cristian Arrazola katapusan Mayo 20 sa Canada. Reynoso’s lone defeat came in his fourth fight.

 

“Everything is going well in training camp,’’ Reynoso said. “We know that Lopez is tall for 122 pounds and he has good hand speed. He has a good name and we will try to learn more in the next few weeks.

 

“This is a big opportunity for us and we will do our best. This is a big fight and we know we have to win. Uban sa usa ka kadaugan, we would hope to get a world title opportunity.’’

 

Ronald Ellis vs. Julius Jackson: Eight-round middleweight bout

Ellis gets an immediate opportunity to regain his winning ways after taking a sizeable jump up in class and boxing an eight-round draw with hard-hitting Jerry Odom diha sa iyang Feb. 19 ShoBox debut. A spirited, close contest throughout was scored 78-74 for Ellis and 76-76 matag usa. The draw snapped a four-fight-knockout streak for Ellis, who’s won all 10 of his knockouts inside two rounds (eight in the first) since turning pro in 2011.

 

“This is going to be another coming out party for me,’’ the 5-foot-11, 25-year-old Ellis said. “The last fight was a draw. I had some problems with my hand, but I’m back and this is a step for me. Hopefully he comes to fight. I hope he brings it 100 percent because I am bringing 200 porsyento.

 

“I am glad to be on ShoBox pag-usab. I showed the fans a little bit in my last fight. They can expect the same thing but a little bit more on Hulyo 22.''

 

Jackson is making his second ShoBox pagsugod. In his debut – and initial go in the U.S. – the older brother of Juan and son of former two-division world champion Julian “The Hawk” Jackson registered two knockdowns en-route to a ninth-round TKO over Jonathan Nelson (19-2, 10 KOs) sa Dec. 20, 2014.

 

Much like Ellis, Jackson is also getting a quick-fix chance to redeem himself and get back on the winning track. Apan, unlike Ellis, Jackson losthis most recent fight. His perfect record and 19-fight winning streak ended when he lost by second-round TKO to now top-rated super middleweight contender Jose Uzcategui katapusan Oct. 6.

 

“I’m looking to redeem myself and come out with a win,’’ said the 6-foot-2 Jackson, nga turns 29 sa Aug. 1. “This is my second ShoBox fight and I’m excited to get back to let the world see my talent. I’m getting better, my training has been good. I expect to be in with another really good fighter. It should be a great fight.’’

 

Usa ka 2008 Olympian for the Virgin Islands and a pro since January 2009, Jackson is fighting for the third time in a row in the U.S.

 

O’Shaquie Foster vs. Rolando Chinea: Eight-round featherweight bout

O’Shaquie (pronounced “oh-SHACK-ee”) Foster is making his third appearance on ShoBox. Last Feb. 19, he began to live up to expectations when he rebounded from a sub-standard performance in his ShoBox debut (an eight-round decision loss to Samuel takus sa Nobyembre 2015) to register a seventh-round TKO over previously undefeated Lavisas Williams (8-0-1).

 

Foster, 22, dropped southpaw Williams four times – in the second, third, fourth and seventh rounds. Three of the knockdowns appeared to result from a push, but Williams’ gloves touched the canvas each time so they went into the books as knockdowns. After the final knockdown in the seventh, the fight was stopped at 52 segundos ngadto sa round.

 

“Everything is going good,’’ Foster said. “I’ve been doing a lot of conditioning. I am in the best shape of my life. Chinea has a good jab and I know he will be in a good shape.

“Ever since I moved to Virginia to train, my conditioning, mentality and confidence has gone way up and that was the difference from my first fight to my last fight on ShoBox. Sa Hulyo 22, I will be even that much better.’’

 

A highly decorated amateur standout, the 5-foot-8½ inch Foster advanced to the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials where he lost to unbeaten pro prospect, Si Jose "Jo-Jo" Diaz. Sa wala pa nga, Foster was a 2010 PAL National Champion, a five-time Ringside National Champion and two-time National Junior Golden Gloves Champion.

Chinea, a 5-foot-8, 25-anyos nga, ang paghimo sa iyang ShoBox debut. After going pro in November 2011, siya miadto 10-0-1 before losing an eight-round decision to Ismail Muwendo sa Abril 2015. He’s won two straight since, including a six-round decision over previously undefeatedLadarius Miller (unya 9-0) diha sa iyang katapusan nga away sa Feb. 16.

“I treat every opponent the same,’’ Chinea. “I give everything I got and I leave it all in the ring. I know Foster was a good amateur. I know he can box and I know he has some pop.

 

“This is the moment I’ve dreamed about since I started boxing at 14. My main goal is to tune out the crowd and win. I want to be a main event fighter on SHOWTIME and this is the first step.’’

Khiary Gray-Pitts vs. Ismael Garcia: Eight-round super welterweight bout

Gray-Pitts, 23, will be boxing on ShoBox sa unang higayon. Ambidextrous with quick hands and feet, Gray-Pitts turned pro in June 2014. He fought three times that year, eight times in 2015 (8-0, 8 KOs, seven in the first, one in the second) and this will be his third fight in 2016.

 

“I’m very excited,’’ Gray-Pitts said. “Now I get to showcase my skillset to the whole world. It’s something I’ve been waiting for. There’s still more that people haven’t seen yet when it comes to me. Now I get to see what I have the ability to do. I’m able to block [the crowd] out.

 

“The more pressure there is, the more relaxed I am. I don’t know a lot about my opponent, but it doesn’t matter as long as I go in there and get done what I need to get done.”

 

The 5-foot-9 Gray-Pitts is coming off a second-round knockout overQuinton Willis katapusan Mayo 13. Sa iyang outing sa atubangan sa katapusan nga, the previous Feb. 19, won a 10-round decision over Eduardo Flores.

 

Garcia, 29, has fought sporadically since turning pro in March 2010, although he’s been more active in the last 14 mga bulan. He fought in May and October in 2015 and won his one start this year on a six-round split decision over Carlos Garcia katapusan Marso 18. Garcia’s initial seven fights took place in Atlantic City, the last three in Philadelphia.

“It is my television debut, and everything we have been working on in my first 10 fights we will put together for this fight,’’ Garcia said. “This is SHOWTIME. Being on ShoBox is a long time coming for me. It’s what I’ve dreamed about since I started boxing. It’s his TV debut as well so I know he will be on top of his game. We will be preparing 100 percent for that and then some.

 

“I have seen a little of Gray-Pitts on tape. This will be my toughest test, as I will be his toughest test. When you have 13-0 away 10-0, it will be a good fight.’’
