BOSTON (Marec 2, 2021) - New Haven (CT) super welterový boxer Jimmy „Quiet Storm“ Williams konečne dnes večer získa to, čo nazýva „bojom o svetový titul“ proti bývalému majstrovi sveta Yuri Foreman v osemkolovom zápase o voľné majstrovstvá USA v super welterovej váhe Americká boxerská federácia USA, v Centre pre afroameričanov v Kentucky v Louisville, Kentucky.
Predák (35-3, 10 KO), bojuje z Brooklynu, dobyli Svetovú boxerskú asociáciu (WBA) titul super welterovej váhy v 2009, keď získal jednomyseľné 12-kolové rozhodnutie verzus obhajca titulu Daniel Santos (32-3-1).
"Keď sme boli dieťa, zápasili sme späť, keď som trénoval na boxerskej akadémii Joe Griera v Pattersone.", New Jersey,”Vysvetlil Williams. "Joe mi dal moju prezývku.", „Quiet Storm.“ Yuri je skutočný majster sveta. V podstate som odnikiaľ neprišiel zdieľať prsteň s majstrom sveta. To, čo robíme, je to, o čom je box. Nejde o vek; on je 40 a mám 34. Vek nič neznamená. Nie som špičkový pes, asi preto mi ponúkli boj, ale som skutočný bojovník, ktorý bude bojovať so svetovým šampiónom. Toto je môj boj o svetový titul! Výhra, prehrať, alebo kresliť, Budem bojovať proti majstrovi sveta. Z nikoho sa nebojím. Nejde o peniaze, to som ja, a vždy sa postavím k výzve. Bude to veľký boj. “
Williams (16-5-2, 5 KO) je hrdý na to, že je jedným zo vzácnych futbalistov, ktorí uspeli v boxe. Bol vynikajúcim rohovníkom na štátnej univerzite v južnom Connecticute a bol pozvaný do niekoľkých skúšobných táborov NFL. Priblížil sa k rezu s vtedajšími Oakland Raiders.
"Vždy som bol jadrom boxera.",”Povedal Williams, „Takže futbal bol pre mňa ľahký. Bolo úžasné prijímať hovory od NFL skautov. Odišiel som od futbalu za boxom. Som bývalá divízia 2 vysokoškolský futbalista bojujúci s majstrom sveta. Vedel som, kedy je čas odísť z futbalu, ale ešte nie som pripravený odísť z boxu. Nemusím škatuľkovať. Som vzdelaný, pracovať v komunite, a som otec. Som požehnaný, že môžem boxovať a budem vedieť, kedy je čas zložiť rukavice. “
Williams boxoval až po svojej matke, Belinda, bol zavraždený v 2008 a jej prípad zostáva nevyriešený. Pre rakovinu stratil otca.
"Tento boj o Jimmyho je zďaleka najväčší v jeho kariére.",”Manažér WilliamsuRyan Roach (Fighter Locker) poznamenal. "Je nevyhnutné vyhrať ho, aby sa vrátil do starých koľají." Vie, čo musí urobiť. Presunul sa do Veloz Boxu na Rhode Island a je to iný bojovník ako v posledných dvoch zápasoch. Práve som okolo „Boo Boo“ (majster svetaSkromný Andrade) a tí chlapci tam majú Jimmyho, kde musí byť pre tento boj. “
Williams bol povýšenýJimmy BurchfieldKlasická zábava a šport (CES) odkedy sa stal v roku 2013 profesionálom.
"Máme blízky vzťah.",“Poznamenal Burchfield. "Otočil som ho k profíkovi.", párkrát ho dostal do celoštátnej televízie, a dokonca sa zúčastnil jeho svadby. Som na neho veľmi hrdý. Bol nesmierne lojálny k CES, ako aj my k nemu. Toto je skvelá príležitosť. Neváhal ani minútu, aby sa zapojil do tohto boja. Má nového trénera, Brian Johnson, a Jimmy jazdil tam a späť z New Haven do Providence, aby trénoval. Myslím si, že je v najlepšej forme svojho života, pretože vie o dôležitosti tohto boja. Zaslúži si mať túto príležitosť.
Niečo zvláštne na jeho dnešnom boji proti Foremanovi pre Williamsa, africký Američan, bojuje na tomto mieste (Kentucky Center for African Americans) v rodnom meste svojho hrdinu,Muhammad Ali.
"Vzdávam hold všetkým ľuďom, ktorí prežili môj sen.",”Poznamenal Williams. "To je to, čo reprezentujem." Za posledný rok sme stratili veľa ľudí. Boje v Louisville sú pre mňa veľké, pretože sú domovom filmu „The Greatest“,‘Muhammad Ali. Pozerám sa na Aliho viac kvôli jeho postave a tomu, za čím stál, ako kvôli boxu. Za niečím stál a kvôli tomu stratil vrchol svojej kariéry. Snažím sa byť ako on z hľadiska toho, aký som. Dal mi dôveru v to, kým v živote chcem byť. Čítal som o ňom každú knihu. Odmietam sa vzdať ako Ali. Som bojovník s návratom. “

The lastShoBox event was held March 13 in Hinckley, Z., and was one of the final live sporting events to take place before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the sports world for several months.
A decorated amateur and U.S. representative at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, the 22-year-old Conwell (12-0, 9 KO) hails from Cleveland, Ohio, and will make his secondShoBox appearance – and first in nearly three years – when he takes on up-and-comingToussaint (12-0, 5 KO) na 154 libier.

I am a very smart boxer with fast hands and power. When people see me, they will see Aaron Pryor, Mike Tyson and Andre Ward rolled up into one! I am happy to be headliningShoBox and being able to show my talent to the whole world.”

Tony Lopez, Jr. plans to get back into bantamweight mix by defeating unbeaten prospect “The Baby-Faced Assassin” Max Ornelas
Apríl 20 on beIN Sports live from Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas |
LAS VEGAS (Apríl 4, 2018) – Mexican bantamweight Tony Lopez, Jr. (13-3, 4 KO) believes an impressive victory April 20th over his Roy Jones Jr., Boxing Promotions (RJJ) stablemate, 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, počnúc 10 p.m. A / 7 p.m. PT, from Cox Pavilion on the University of Nevada at Las Vegas campus.
The vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) North American Boxing Association (Tiež) 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) No. 14 vo svete. “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, hoci, 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) tam. 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. Jeho otec,Tony Lopez, Sr., was an ex-fighter from Mexico who got his son into boxing when he was six. Teraz, 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.
“Je to (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.
“Som rýchlejší, 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, iba 24, but I have more experience than him going into this fight. I’ve fought a former world champion (Rico Ramos). I’m part of a new team and my FHG Gloves teammates are Ján Veru, who just fought for a world title, a Edwin Vasquez. An impressive victory will put me right back in the mix for a big Saturday night fight for an even bigger title.”
