Curtis Stevens vs. James De La Rosa Added to Kovalev-Ward “Pound For Pound” Non-Televised Undercard

Laisser un commentaire

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA (Octobre 6, 2016): Curtis “Cerebral Assassin” Stevens (28-5, 21 KOs) returns to the ring and the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on the Kovalev-Ward “Pound For Pound” non-televised undercard to face James “The King” De La Rosa (23-4, 13 KOs) in a ten-round middleweight showdown.

 

Stevens, 31, of Brownsville, Brooklyn returned to the ring on Mai 7 of this year and stopped previously undefeated Brazilian prospect Patrick Teixeira in the second round on the HBO Pay-Per-View® undercard of Canelo-Khan. The victory over Teixeira catapulted Stevens back into the ranking of all four sanctioning bodies, including top ten ratings in both the IBF and WBC. He is hoping to continue that momentum and secure another shot at the middleweight title.

 

De La Rosa, 28, is originally from Mexico but now resides in San Benito, Texas. His most recent win was a unanimous decision upset over former title contender Alfredo Angulo on the undercard of Mayweather-Maidana. De La Rosa has suffered two back-to-back losses since his win over Angulo but both have come at the hands of two previously undefeated prospects in Hugo Centeno Jr. and Jason Quigley. Commonly, fighters in his position would prefer a tune-up to get back on a winning track but, dans ce cas, De La Rosa opted out of that easy route and decided to test himself against another former title contender in Stevens.

 

According to Stevens, “I’m happy someone is willing to fight me. Bless the Gods. Maintenant, it’s time to turn it up a notch and get ready to check in and check out. The Bully is back!"

 

This will be Stevens’s second fight working with world-renowned trainer and former world champion John David Jackson. Jackson added, “Curtis Stevens is happy to be stepping back in the ring on Novembre 19 against De La Rosa. He is eager to show the world that he deserves another chance to win the middleweight world title.”

 

“It’s always good to fight on a big stage,” said De La Rosa. “As always, I’m coming to fight and put on a show. I know I have a tough fighter in front of me in Curtis Stevens. With his style and my style, we’ll warm the fans up for Kovalev-Ward. Thanks to Main Events and AC Sports Management, LLC for putting this together.”

 

De La Rosa’s manager Adrian Clark added, “This is a must win situation for James and I know that he has the potential to pull off an upset. Curtis Stevens is a very dangerous opposition but again, I believe that JDLR can spoil things and leave Vegas with a ‘W’. It is great to finally work with Main Events again. It has been too long!"

 

Main Events’ matchmaker and 2015 NABF Matchmaker of the Year Jolene Mizzone had this to say about the match-up: “Kudos to both guys for taking this fight. Curtis Stevens could have waited around for someone to finally accept his challenge, but he wants to keep busy and challenge himself at the same time. James could have looked for that every popular “tune-up” fight but instead opted for a much tougher competitor in Stevens. It’s a breath of fresh air when I get to work with boxers who want to fight!"

 

*Remarque: Ce matin (Octobre 6, 2016) Curtis Stevens and his fiancée welcomed their son King Stevens at 10:12 suis. King weighed in 4 lbs 12oz. Mother and baby are both doing well.

 

Kovalev vs. Quartier a lieu Samedi, Novembre. 19, au T-Mobile Arena de Las Vegas, Nev. and will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT. “Pound for Pound” is presented by Main Events, Roc Nation Sports, Krusher Promotions and Andre Ward Promotions and sponsored by MGM Grand Hotel & Casino.

Boxing Manager and 2016 Forbes “30 Moins de 30 ans” Honoree Adrian Clark Offers Manifesto to Help Fighters Clarify Roles

Laisser un commentaire
A Revolution in Boxer-Manager Relationships
DALLAS, TEXAS, Février 11, 2015 – In an unprecedented move, boxing manager and owner of AC Sports Management, Adrian Clark, has issued a challenge to professional boxers all over the world in the form of a free legal document: The Boxer-Manager Agreement now allows professional fighters to contract the services of their managers.

 

 

Typiquement, dans la boxe, the manager has the boxer under contract for a minimum of three years. The Boxer-Manager Agreement clarifies the role and duties of the manager, giving both parties the opportunity to evaluate one another fairly and to ensure the boxer is in the executive position.

 

“I want guys to develop a mindset of a CEO,” Clark said, “because that’s what they are. They must understand what it is to be in a position of power and able to call shots and make tough executive decisions in their careers.”

 

Clark’s main concern is that many boxers may be working as if they are the subordinate, unlike other executives. “Name me one CEO that is under contract to his spokesperson, or to anyone he is paying” Clark said.

 

Clark, currently in his sixth year of boxing management, has been selected as one of Forbes’ 30 Under 30 (Sportif) pour 2016. He has just released his first book, titré “Je: Un guide pour les jeunes entrepreneurs,” available from Amazon.

 

“As a business owner, I do what makes sense in regards to business, Clark said. “I have been in the boxing business long enough to see that the common boxer-manager arrangement does not make sense. I’d like to think this document is a game-changer in the sport of boxing for the athletes. It is now up to the athletes to exercise this agreement and be in more control of their careers and who is representing them.”

 

The Boxer-Manager Agreement is available for download on Clark’s website (www.ACsportsm.com/manifesto.html), gratuit. Clark has recorded a video there encouraging fighters to download the document. He also urges them to further educate themselves on the business they are in.

 

A graduate of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Clark currently manages seven clients, including former world title challenger Jerry Belmontes, former IBO World champion Will Tomlinson, and James de la Rosa, qui a Mars 12 showdown with David Lemieux in Montreal, Québec. À l'âge 25, Clark was certified by the National Basketball Players Association as a “Player Agent” (Sports Agent). Clark founded AC Sports Management, LLC, en 2012.

Nom et la valeur nominale sont très essentiel en essayant de les athlètes du marché Ainsi, lorsque vous me voyez, vous voyez mes gars. Quand vous voyez mes gars, vous me voyez, même si nous ne sommes pas là dans la forme physique, Nous représentons tous les uns des autres. Regarder le documentaire m'a forcé à se arrêter et admirer ce que je ai fait et ce que ces athlètes font,” M. Clark
“Dans cinq ans & à 28 vieille ans, Je aimerais que le croient je ai fait un assez bon travail, en particulier travailler par moi-même sans soutien. Je saute De la Rosa libre de Don King, puis lui valut 2 grands combats sur Showtime et HBO PPV. Il a fait plus d'argent dans 2 combats que toute sa carrière combinés. I negotiated a world title shot fight for Belmontes, qui lui a valu le plus d'argent dans sa carrière. Je ai travaillé pour obtenir Ray Ximenez sans un contrat de promotion mauvais et de nouveau actif, sur son chemin vers de plus grands combats.

AJ Galante {qui est probablement le seul autre gestionnaire dans ses années 20} et je comprends que nous sommes les jeunes de sang dans le sport. En 5 ou 10 ans, nous serons de l'Al Haymon, Frank Espinoza et Cameron Dunkin de… Les gars et les réseaux de grands noms vont chercher à travailler à travers nous. Nous le savons et nous sommes constamment à la préparation et l'élaboration de stratégies d'assumer l'héritage étonnant de la boxe dans l'espoir de quitter de notre propre héritage. Son assez cool.”
