Jimmy Williams primește în cele din urmă „lupta pentru titlul mondial”
BOSTON (Martie 2, 2021) - Noul rai (CT) boxer super welter Jimmy „Furtuna liniștită” Williams va primi în cele din urmă ceea ce el numește „lupta sa pentru titlul mondial” în această seară împotriva fostului campion mondial Yuri Foreman într-un meci de 8 runde pentru campionatul vacant al Federației Americane de Box din SUA la campionatul super welter, la Centrul Kentucky pentru Afro-Americani din Louisville, Kentucky.
Maistru (35-3, 10 KO), lupta din Brooklyn, a capturat Asociația Mondială de Box (WBA) titlu mondial super welter în 2009, când a câștigat o decizie unanimă în 12 runde față de campionul în apărare Daniel Santos (32-3-1).
„Ne-am luptat când eram copil când m-am antrenat la Academia de Box Joe Grier din Patterson, New Jersey,”A explicat Williams. „Joe a fost cel care mi-a dat porecla, „Furtună liniștită.” Yuri este un adevărat campion mondial. Practic am venit de nicăieri să împart inelul cu un campion mondial. Ceea ce facem este ceea ce înseamnă boxul. Nu este vorba de vârstă; e 40 iar eu am 34 de ani. Vârsta nu înseamnă nimic. Nu sunt un câine de top, motiv pentru care probabil mi-au oferit lupta, but I’m a real fighter who will be in with a world champ. This is my world title fight! Victorie, lose, or draw, I’ll be fighting a world champion. I’m not scared of anybody. It’s not about money, it’s who I am, and I always step up to the challenge. This is going to be a great fight.”
Williams (16-5-2, 5 KO) is proud to be one of the rare football players who has succeeded in boxing. He was a standout cornerback at Southern Connecticut State University and invited to several NFL tryout camps. He came close to making the cut with the then-Oakland Raiders.
“I’ve always been a boxer at heart,” Williams said, “so football was easy for me. A fost minunat să primesc apeluri de la cercetașii NFL. M-am îndepărtat de fotbal pentru box. Sunt o fostă divizie 2 jucător de fotbal de colegiu care se luptă cu un campion mondial. Știam când a venit timpul să părăsesc fotbalul, dar încă nu sunt pregătit să părăsesc boxul. Nu trebuie să fac cutie. Sunt educat, lucrează în comunitate, și eu sunt tată. Sunt binecuvântat că boxez și voi ști când este momentul să-mi închid mănușile. ”
Williams nu a boxat decât după mama sa, Belinda, a fost ucis în 2008 iar cazul ei rămâne nerezolvat. El și-a pierdut tatăl de cancer.
„Această luptă pentru Jimmy este de departe cea mai mare din cariera sa,”Manager WilliamsRyan Roach (Fighter Locker) a remarcat. „Este o victorie obligatorie pentru a-l readuce pe drumul cel bun. Știe ce trebuie să facă. S-a mutat la Veloz Boxing în Rhode Island și este un luptător diferit de ceea ce a fost în ultimele sale două lupte. Doar să fii în preajma ‘Boo Boo’ (campion mondialDemetrios Andrade) iar băieții ăia de acolo îl au pe Jimmy unde trebuie să fie pentru această luptă ”.
Williams a fost promovat deJimmy BurchfieldDivertisment și sport clasic (CES) de când a devenit profesionist în 2013.
„Avem o relație strânsă,”A comentat Burchfield. „L-am transformat în pro, l-am luat de câteva ori la televiziunea națională, și chiar a participat la nunta lui. Sunt foarte mândru de el. El a fost extrem de loial față de CES, așa cum îi suntem noi. Aceasta este o mare oportunitate. Nu a ezitat niciun minut să ia această luptă. Are un nou antrenor, Brian Johnson, iar Jimmy a condus rău și înapoi de la New Haven la Providence pentru a se antrena. Cred că se află în cea mai bună formă a vieții sale, pentru că știe importanța acestei lupte. Merită să aibă această ocazie.
Ceva special în lupta lui din această seară împotriva lui Foreman pentru Williams, un afro-american, se luptă în acest loc (Centrul Kentucky pentru Afro-Americani) în orașul natal al eroului său,Muhammad Ali.
„Aduc un omagiu tuturor oamenilor care mi-au trăit visul,”A remarcat Williams. „Este ceea ce reprezintă. Am pierdut mulți oameni în ultimul an. Lupta în Louisville este mare pentru mine, deoarece este casa „The Greatest”,'Muhammad Ali. Mă uit la Ali mai mult pentru caracterul său și pentru ce a reprezentat el decât boxul său. El a susținut ceva și a pierdut vârful carierei sale din cauza asta. Încerc să fiu ca el în ceea ce privește cine sunt. Mi-a dat încrederea în a fi cine vreau să fiu în viață. Am citit fiecare carte despre el. Refuz să renunț ca Ali. Sunt un luptător înapoi. "

Tony Lopez, Jr. plans to get back into bantamweight mix by defeating unbeaten prospect “The Baby-Faced Assassin” Max Ornelas
Aprilie 20 on beIN Sports live from Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas |
LAS VEGAS (Aprilie 4, 2018) – Mexican bantamweight Tony Lopez, Jr. (13-3, 4 KO) believes an impressive victory April 20th over his Roy Jones Jr., Promoții la box (RJJ) echilibru si stabilitate, unbeaten bantamweight prospect “The Baby-Faced Assassin” Max Ornelas (10-0-1, 4 KO), will get him back in the mix.
Ornelas vs. Lopez, Jr., presented RJJ Boxing Promotions, will air live on beIN Sports, începând de la 10 p.m. ȘI / 7 p.m. PT, from Cox Pavilion on the University of Nevada at Las Vegas campus.
The vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) Asociația de box nord-americană (De asemenea) USA bantamweight title will be on the line in the eight-round main event.
A UNLV sophomore who lives in Las Vegas, the 19-year-old Ornelas is ranked by the World Boxing Association (WBA) at No. 14 in lume. “I’ve had several fights where my role was reversed, and I was fighting in my hometown in front of my fans, friends and family,” Dallas resident Lopez, Jr. spoke about fighting Ornelas on the road. “I wanted to put on a show and they were screaming like crazy before the opening bell. Once the fight started, deși, I didn’t see or hear them. It was just me and my opponent. I’ve fought in Las Vegas a few times and I’m comfortable fighting him (Ornelas) acolo. I understand that this is part of my job, a requirement, regardless of fighting him in his hometown. I like pressure.”
Lopez, Jr. was born in Mexico, but he’s lived nearly his entire life in Texas. Tatăl lui,Tony Lopez, Sr., was an ex-fighter from Mexico who got his son into boxing when he was six. Acum, Lopez, Jr. fights for Roy Jones, Jr.
“It’s surreal,” the rugged southpaw admitted. “I’m fighting for a living legend, arguably one of the greatest boxers of all time. He knows me, he’s seen me fight. It’s an honor to wear his gear, not only as a fan of his, but to represent his company. It’s one of the coolest things in this business.”
Ornelas is also promoted by RJJ Boxing Promotions and they’ve fought together on two RJJ cards. They’re familiar with each other and, if styles truly make great fights, this one could turn out to be an instant classic.
“E (Max) a very clean fighter, by the books, not wanting to get into scrapes,” the 24-year-old Lopez spoke about his opponent. “He strides and moves, not looking to bang or exchange. He likes to fight on the outside, using his size and length. He’s fast but doesn’t have a lot of power. It’s hit and not get hit for him. He has a lot of holes and me being the more experienced fighter, I plan to expose some of those holes.
“Back in May of 2016, I fought and undefeated opponent, Jerren Cochran (11-0-1), and I knew it was an audition for Roy and RJJ. I came out in a full attack mode because I wanted to make a statement. ((Lopes knocked our Cochran in the second round.) I’m looking to make another statement this time around by fighting like I did earlier in my career.
“I’m faster, stronger and have better head movement than him. I’m still young but I have more life experience than him (Ornelas). I’m still young, numai 24, but I have more experience than him going into this fight. I’ve fought a former world champion (Rico Ramos).
