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

Lämna en kommentar

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA (Oktober 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 Maj 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, I detta fall, 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!"

 

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

 

Kovalev vs. Ward sker Lördag, 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. OCH/6:00 p.m. PT. “Pound for Pound” is presented by Main Events, Roc Nation Sport, Krusher Promotions and Andre Ward Promotions and sponsored by MGM Grand Hotel & Kasino.

Boxing Manager and 2016 Forbes “30 Under 30 år” Honoree Adrian Clark Offers Manifesto to Help Fighters Clarify Roles

Lämna en kommentar
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.

 

 

Typiskt, i boxning, 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) för 2016. He has just released his first book, titled “jag: En guide för unga företagare,” 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, som har en Mars 12 showdown with David Lemieux in Montreal, Quebec. At age 25, Clark was certified by the National Basketball Players Association as a “Player Agent” (Sports Agent). Clark founded AC Sports Management, LLC, i 2012.

Boxing manager Adrian Clark releases mini documentary Adrian Clark: Innan The Bell på Youtube

Lämna en kommentar
Dallas, TX (Januari 28, 2015)–Upp och kommande boxning manager Adrian Clark har släppt en mini dokumentär som skil en vecka i livet av sin karriär som han leder upp till en fight.The Dokumentär har titeln Adrian Clark: Before The Bell

Clark i Dallas, Texas har snabbt blivit en av de skarpaste unga sinnen i boxning branschen och kommer från en stellar 2014 där han ledde fighters som James De La Rosa till framträdanden på Floyd Mayweather – Marcos Maidana II card där han besegrade förre världsmästaren Alfredo Angulo samt en December kamp på HBO Boxing After Dark.
En annan klient, Jerry Belmontes kämpade WBC Lätt mästare Omar Figueroa på Showtime Championship Boxing i en match där de flesta människor som tittade kampen trodde Belmontes hade vunnit ett beslut om att fånga bältet men förlorade via delad beslut.
“Det var en fantastisk upplevelse att göra en mini dokumentär. Även om fokus var själv, kämparna jag arbetar för att få bra exponering även. Namn och nominellt värde är mycket viktigt när man försöker marknads idrottare så när du ser mig, du mina grabbar. När du mina grabbar, du ser mig, även om vi inte är där i fysisk form, vi alla representerar varandra. Titta dokumentären tvingade mig att stanna upp och beundra vad jag har gjort och vad dessa idrottare gör,” sade Clark
“In five years & vid 28 years old now, Jag vill att tror jag har gjort ett ganska bra jobb, särskilt arbeta med mig själv utan stöd. Jag hoppar De la Rosa fri från Don King, sedan fick honom 2 stora slagsmål på Showtime PPV och HBO. Han gjorde mer pengar i 2 slagsmål än hela sin karriär kombinerade. I negotiated a world title shot fight for Belmontes, tjäna honom mest pengar i hans karriär. Jag arbetade för att få Ray Ximenez fri från en dålig PR kontrakt och aktiv igen, på väg till större slagsmål. Jag undertecknade en fantastisk utsikt i Oscar Mojica som är en framtida mästare på 118 Ibs. och debuterade en framtida stjärna på 140 i Steve Belmontes. 2014 var ett fantastiskt år för AC Sports Management, LLC. Funderar du på att kapitalisera 2015.”
“Det finns en massa fantastiska saker som händer i boxning just nu. Jag är ung, upp och kommer och försöker upprätthålla ett respekterat namn. Jag ser att arbeta och bygga sunda relationer med Banner Kampanjer, Roc Nation, Top Ranking och lokala promotorer. Jag har en fantastisk relation med Golden Boy och Main Events; Jag hoppas att behålla dessa starka band och göra de bästa slagsmål som inkluderar mina killar.”
“Tålamod är nyckeln i boxning affärer. Man måste förstå att timing är allt och tvångsarbete är inte rätt väg. AJ Galante {vem är förmodligen den enda andra manager i hans 20-talet} och jag förstår att vi är de unga blod s i sporten. I 5 eller 10 år ska vi vara Al Haymon s, Frank Espinoza s och Cameron Dunkin s… Stora namn killar och nätverk kommer att se att arbeta genom oss. Vi vet att vi ständigt förbereda och strategizing att fortsätta den fantastiska arv från boxning i hopp om att lämna ett arv av vår egen. Dess ganska cool.”
