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

Laat een reactie achter

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA (Oktober 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 Mei 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 dit geval, 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. Nu, 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 November 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!"

 

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

 

Kovalev vs. Afdeling vindt plaats Zaterdag, November. 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. EN/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 Onder 30” Honoree Adrian Clark Offers Manifesto to Help Fighters Clarify Roles

Laat een reactie achter
A Revolution in Boxer-Manager Relationships
DALLAS, TEXAS, Februari 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.

 

 

Typisch, in het boksen, 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 (Sport-) voor 2016. He has just released his first book, getiteld “ik: Een gids voor jonge ondernemers,” 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), gratis. 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, die heeft een Maart 12 showdown with David Lemieux in Montreal, Quebec. Op leeftijd 25, Clark was certified by the National Basketball Players Association as a “Player Agent” (Sports Agent). Clark founded AC Sports Management, LLC, in 2012.

Andere cliënt, Jerry Belmontes gevochten WBC lichtgewicht kampioen Omar Figueroa op Showtime Championship Boxing in een gevecht waar de meeste mensen die de strijd bekeken dacht Belmontes had een beslissing om de band vast te leggen gewonnen maar verloren via split decision.
“Het was een geweldige ervaring het doen van een mini-documentaire. Hoewel het brandpunt was ikzelf, de strijders Ik werk voor krijgen goede belichting ook. De naam en de nominale waarde zijn zeer essentieel wanneer het proberen om de markt atleten dus als je me zien, zie je mijn jongens. Als je ziet mijn jongens, je ziet me zelfs als we er niet zijn in de fysieke vorm, we elkaar allemaal vertegenwoordigen. Het kijken naar de documentaire dwong me om te stoppen en bewonder wat ik heb gedaan en wat deze sporters doen,” Said Clark
“In vijf jaar & bij 28 Nu jaar oud, Ik wil graag het geloof dat ik een vrij goed werk gedaan, vooral het werken door mij met geen steun. Ik spring De la Rosa vrij van Don King, dan heb hem 2 grote gevechten op Showtime PPV en HBO. Hij maakte meer geld in 2 gevechten dan zijn hele carrière gecombineerd. Ik onderhandeld over een wereld titel schot strijd voor Belmontes, wat hem het meeste geld in zijn carrière. Ik werkte te krijgen Ray Ximenez vrij te zijn van een slechte promotie-contract en weer actief, op weg naar grotere gevechten. Ik tekende een geweldig vooruitzicht in Oscar Mojica wie is een toekomstige kampioen bij 118 lbs. en debuteerde een toekomstige ster op 140 in Steve Belmontes. 2014 was een geweldig jaar voor AC Sports Management, LLC. Op zoek te kapitaliseren in 2015.”

Ik heb een fantastische relatie met Golden Boy en Main Events; Ik hoop dat die sterke banden te onderhouden en er het beste gevechten die mijn jongens behoren.”
“Geduld is de sleutel in het boksen bedrijf. Men moet begrijpen dat de timing is alles en gedwongen werk is niet de manier. AJ Galante {die is waarschijnlijk de enige andere manager in zijn 20's} en ik begrijp dat we het jonge bloed in de sport. In 5 of 10 jaar zullen we de Al Haymon, Frank Espinoza's en Cameron Dunkin's… Grote naam jongens en netwerken zal kijken naar het werk door ons heen. Wij weten dat en we zijn voortdurend voorbereiden en strategievorming te voeren op de geweldige erfenis van het boksen in de hoop van het nalaten van een erfenis van onze eigen. Zijn vrij koel.”
