פילאדעלפיע, פּען. (פעברואר 27, 2018)–ונדעפעאַטעד באַנטאַמוועיגהט ויסקוק Christian Carto (13-0, 11 קאָס) has been buckling down in training camp for his showdown with once-beaten James Gordon Smith (12-1, 7 קאָס) in the headline fight of a seven bout card that will take place דעם פרייטיק נאַכט בייַ The SugarHouse Casino.
די ווייַזן איז פּראָמאָטעד דורך מלך ס פּראָמאָטיאָנס.
Carto, 21 years-old of Philadelphia has been training in his hometown, where he has built up one-of, if not the biggest fan base in the city.
“Camp has been good. I have done a lot of sparring with different sparring partners,” said Carto.
In Smith, Carto is in with arguably his toughest opponent, whose lone blemish came on ShoBox to hard-hitting Joshua Greer.
“Smith seems to be a good a fighter. I watched a couple of his fights, and even in the fight he lost, he fought well until he got caught.”
Carto stopped his 1st eleven opponents, but had to go the full distance of eight-rounds in his last two outings. Carto was not disappointed that his knockout streak ended.
“It would have been nice to have kept that streak going, but I am not upset. I actually thought in my last fight against Luis Saavedra that I was close to getting him out of there but he did a good job in hanging in there and going the distance. It was a good experience to go eight-rounds. I spar 10-12 ראָונדס, so I knew I could go eight rounds.”
This will be Carto’s 7th appearance at The SugarHouse Casino, and the venue has taken a liking to Carto to the point where a 40-foot billboard was erected over I-95, and millions of motorists can see Carto each day.
“I want to thank Wendy Hamilton of the SugarHouse. It was good to see the billboard and see myself presented like that. It’s very exciting to be able to see that. That is something I never thought I would see.”
“I just want all of my fans to come out אויף פרייטאג נאַכט. It is going to be a good fight, and I look forward to seeing every body there.”
