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

Lascia un commento

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA (Ottobre 6, 2016): Curtis “Cerebral Assassin” Stevens (28-5, 21 KO) 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 KO) in a ten-round middleweight showdown.

 

Stevens, 31, of Brownsville, Brooklyn returned to the ring on Maggio 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, in questo caso, 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. Ora, 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!"

 

*Nota: This morning (Ottobre 6, 2016) Curtis Stevens and his fiancée welcomed their son King Stevens at 10:12 am. King weighed in 4 lbs 12oz. Mother and baby are both doing well.

 

Kovalev vs. Reparto si svolge Sabato, Novembre. 19, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. and will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View beginning at 9:00 p.m. E/6:00 p.m. PT. “Libbra per libbra” is presented by Main Events, Roc Nation Sports, Krusher Promotions and Andre Ward Promotions and sponsored by MGM Grand Hotel & Casinò.

Boxing Manager and 2016 Forbes “30 Meno di 30 anni” Honoree Adrian Clark Offers Manifesto to Help Fighters Clarify Roles

Lascia un commento
A Revolution in Boxer-Manager Relationships
DALLAS, TEXAS, Febbraio 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.

 

 

Tipicamente, nel pugilato, 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 (Sportivo) per 2016. He has just released his first book, titolato “io: Una guida per i giovani imprenditori,” 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), gratuito. 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, chi ha un Marzo 12 showdown with David Lemieux in Montreal, Quebec. All'età 25, Clark was certified by the National Basketball Players Association as a “Player Agent” (Sports Agent). Clark founded AC Sports Management, LLC, in 2012.

Clark di Dallas, Texas è rapidamente diventato uno dei più brillanti giovani menti del settore boxe ed è venuta fuori una stellare 2014 dove ha condotto i combattenti come James De La Rosa per apparizioni sul Floyd Mayweather – Marcos Maidana II undercard dove ha sconfitto l'ex campione del mondo Alfredo Angulo, nonché una lotta dicembre su HBO Boxing After Dark.
Un altro cliente, Jerry Belmontes combattuto WBC leggero campione Omar Figueroa su Showtime Championship Boxing in un periodo in cui la maggior parte delle persone che hanno visto la lotta pensavano Belmontes aveva vinto una decisione per catturare la cintura, ma ha perso via split decision.
“E 'stata un'esperienza straordinaria facendo un mini documentario. Anche se il punto focale è stato me stesso, i combattenti per cui lavoro ottenere una buona esposizione anche. Nome e valore nominale sono molto essenziale quando si cerca di atleti di mercato così quando mi vedi, vedete i miei ragazzi. Quando vedi i miei ragazzi, mi vedete, anche se non siamo lì in forma fisica, noi tutti rappresentiamo l'altro. Guardando il documentario mi ha costretto a fermarsi e ammirare ciò che ho fatto e quello che questi atleti stanno facendo,” ha detto Clark
“In five years & a 28 anni ormai, Mi piacerebbe il credere che ho fatto un buon lavoro, soprattutto lavorare da solo, senza sostegno. Salto De la Rosa libero da Don King, poi lo ha ottenuto 2 grandi lotte su Showtime PPV e HBO. Ha fatto più soldi in 2 lotte di tutta la sua carriera combinati. I negotiated a world title shot fight for Belmontes, guadagnandosi la maggior parte dei soldi della sua carriera. Ho lavorato per ottenere Ray Ximenez di nuovo libero da un contratto promozionale cattivo e attiva, il suo modo di grandi lotte. Ho firmato una prospettiva straordinaria in Oscar Mojica che è un futuro campione al 118 lbs. e ha debuttato una futura star a 140 in Steve Belmontes. 2014 è stato un anno straordinario per la gestione AC Sports, LLC. Cercando di capitalizzare nel 2015.”
“Ci sono un sacco di cose incredibili in corso nel pugilato in questo momento. Sono giovane, e venire e cercando di mantenere un nome rispettato. Guardo a lavorare e costruire relazioni sane con Promozioni Banner, Roc Nation, Top Rank e promotori locali. Ho un rapporto fantastico con Golden Boy e Grandi Eventi; Spero di mantenere tali forti legami e fare le migliori combattimenti che includono i miei ragazzi.”
“La pazienza è la chiave nel business della boxe. Si deve capire che il tempismo è tutto e il lavoro forzato non è questo il modo. AJ Galante {che è probabilmente l'unico altro gestore nel suo '20} e capisco che siamo i giovani di sangue nello sport. In 5 o 10 anni saremo di Al Haymon, Di Frank Espinoza e Cameron Dunkin di… Ragazzi di grande nome e reti cercherà di lavorare con noi. Sappiamo che e lavoriamo sempre preparando e strategizing di portare avanti la straordinaria eredità di boxe nella speranza di lasciare un'eredità della nostra. La sua piuttosto fresco.”
