大西洋城 (二月. 20, 2016) - 亞當“黃油”洛佩茲 (15-0, 7 科斯), 聖安東尼奧, 得克薩斯州, remained unbeaten and took another step toward becoming a full-fledged contender by winning a hard-fought unanimous 10-round decision over previously undefeated Mario “Yayo” Muñoz (16-1-1, 10 科斯), 瓜達拉哈拉, 哈利斯科, 墨西哥, 在 週五在主要事件 的ShoBox: 新一代 住在 開演時間從 Adrian Phillips Ballroom in Historic 浮橋廳.

“Lopez punched harder and controlled the tempo,” 的ShoBox 專家分析 史蒂夫Farhood 說. “He overcame the problem with his right eye and now he’s 3-0 with three undefeated fighters on 的ShoBox, so he’s indeed a prospect to watch.”

The highly regarded Lopez, making his third 的ShoBox appearance and main event debut, survived a nasty cut over his right eye to win by the scores of 98-92 兩次， 97-93. There were no knockdowns.

“This was my toughest fight as a pro and I think I proved a lot,“”洛佩茲說, who entered the ring as the WBA No. 8 contender at 122 英鎊. “I showed I could fight through a lot of adversity. The cut in my eye was definitely a factor for my performance in a couple of rounds, but I put the pedal to the medal and got through it. I landed the more telling shots.

“This is the kind of fight I can learn from. Fighting through the cut and all the head butts, and still persevering. These are the kinds of fights that make fighters better. You don’t learn a thing by blowing guys out.

“Muñoz was a good fighter and landed some tight shots on me, but I was definitely the better fighter and there was no question I would get the decision. I thought I might stop him in the eighth or ninth, but it didn’t happen.’’

There was little known about Muñoz going into 星期五, but the mystery man from Mexico who was making his United States debut and first start outside of Mexico performed well and showed solid skills and ability.

“I’m very disappointed in the decision,’’ Muñoz said. “I’m a better fighter than he is. I landed more combinations. My face is unmarked, look at his. He hurt me more from his low blows and head butts than he did with his punches. I’d love to fight him again.’’

With the defeat, Muñoz became the 142^ND boxer on 的ShoBox to suffer his first defeat. Two fights earlier, Lavisas “Red Williams (8-1-1, 3 科斯), 羅切斯特, 紐約州, 成為 141^ST 的ShoBox boxer to suffer his initial setback when he lost by seventh round TKO to O'Shaquie“冰水”福斯特 (10-1, 7 科斯), 奧蘭治, 得克薩斯州.

培育, 前業餘突出, rebounded from a poor outing in his的ShoBox debut to register a seventh-round TKO over Williams. Foster dropped the outclassed southpaw four times. After the final knockdown in the seventh, the fight was stopped at 52 秒到圓.

In the co-feature of a 的ShoBox quadrupleheader, 不敗的超中量級 Ronald “Flatline” Ellis (12-0-1, 10 科斯), 林恩, 質量。, and Washington D.C.’s 傑里“國王的兒子”奧多姆 (13-2-1, 12 科斯) fought to a hard-fought eight-round majority draw. A close, competitive contest throughout was scored 78-74 for Ellis and 76-76 每人.

在轉播的開幕鬥爭, John “Madman” Magda (11-0-1, 7 科斯), 盧瑟福, 紐約州, and Philadelphia’s Christopher “Ice Cold” Brooker (7-1-1, 5 科斯) fought to a disputed eight-round split draw in a super middleweight matchup that most felt Brooker won. At the finish, one judge had it for Magda (77-74), one had it for Brooker (78-74) and one had it even at 76-all.

“I thought that was a terrible decision,''Farhood的說. “The judges were all over the place. I think Brooker did enough to win. He was the more aggressive fighter and landed the bigger punches. I was very surprised by the result that it was a draw.”

埃利斯, a five-year-pro who hurt his right hand at the end of the third, was pleased with his overall performance, not so much the result.

“I think I did a good job 今晚,’’ said Ellis, the older brother of welterweight prospect 拉希迪埃利斯 who’d won four straight by knockout, including a second-round TKO over 雅菲普斯 in his last start last 八月. 29. “I started strong and I showed that I belong here, in a nationally televised show. I’m happy with what I did.

“I showed 今晚 that I can counter a busy fighter. I can take a punch. I can also be a boxer-puncher. Odom tried to do his thing at the beginning, but he just couldn’t do it with me. I followed my trainer’s advice. I punched, I stood back. I used my left hook. I think I really hurt him a couple times.

“I won that fight. I’m sure. 首先, I banged with him and then I showed my boxing. It was easy in there, I won that fight. 他從來沒有傷害我. I’ll be back. You will be seeing a lot of me in the future.”

奧多姆, 頂級業餘 2012 全國金手套冠軍在 178 pounds who was looking to turn it around after losing two of his last three, was content with the decision although he felt he’d won his first fight in seven months.

“I can’t be disappointed with the decision because I fought my heart out.’’ Odom said. “I know I hurt him. He hurt me a bit in the second, but I got back on my feet and I kept on going.

“I feel I pulled it out in the last rounds. I worked the body, I think I did some damage. Ellis looked hurt.

“I mean no disrespect, but I felt I definitely did enough to win, but the judges saw it differently.”

Said Farhood: “Ellis-Odom was a strange fight. At times it was a brawl, and at times it was a boxing match. 有時, one fighter came forward and at times the other fighter came forward. I thought Odom did enough in the last couple of rounds to salvage a draw and it turns out that is what the judges scored, a draw. 所以, I think the judges got it right on that fight.”

Foster decked Williams in the second, third, fourth and seventh rounds. Three of the knockdowns appeared to result from a push, but Williams’ gloves touched the canvas each time so they went into the books as knockdowns.

“I think it was a great win for Foster, because he looked so bad when he fought on 的ShoBox last time outdoor in Las Vegas,''Farhood的說. “And this kind he showed the kind of skills that enable him to be a good amateur. He showed the kind of skills that will make him a legitimate prospect as a pro. It was a very good win for him. He showed speed. He showed his movement, his boxing abilities and he scored four knockdowns, and you can’t ask for much better than that.”

“This is a huge relief for me,’’ Foster said. “我感覺好極了. I think people saw a glimpse of the kind of fighter I can be 今晚. That wasn’t me in my first 的ShoBox 戰鬥. I don’t know if I froze under the lights or if I lost because of the cold weather outside, but I wasn’t nearly as confident for that fight as I was 今晚 and it affected my performance.

“I had a tremendous training camp, my best camp ever, which played a big part in my confidence 今晚. I thank God for the opportunity to fight on national television again and I’m already looking forward to the next time.’’

The previously undefeated Williams confessed he was unable to his rhythm. “For some reason, I just could not get loose. I had a cold, but I won’t take anything away from Foster. He knocked me down, but I actually thought he pushed me down most of those times.

“I learned something 今晚. I can’t do what I did. I can’t wait on my opponent. I have to attack first. I’ll be will be back.”

There were no knockdowns in the Brooker-Magda battle. One judge scored it for southpaw and local favorite going in, 瑪格達 77-74, one had it 78-74 for Brooker and one had it 76-76 even.

After a few rounds of solid back-and-forth exchanges, Brooker seemed to dominate in the eyes of everyone but the judges. 該 的ShoBoxannouncers had Brooker a close but clear winner and the fans booed the decision. According to SHO STATS, Brooked outpunched and outlanded Magda by a significant margin. Brooker landed 152 的 481 拳 (32 百分) while Magda connected on 78 ˚F 268 (29 百分).

Brooker was visibly upset with the verdict.

“I don’t train eight hours a day, seven days a week to get this kind of decision. That was not a draw, I clearly won the fight,''他說. “I don’t want to take away from Magda. He’s strong fighter and he countered well, but I showed everybody that hard work beats talent any day.

“I won this fight. I was the aggressor. I threw some big punches. My right was key. In the beginning Magda was fast, but I placed my punches and I know I did enough to win the fight.’’

“I feel OK, but this was a tough fight,” said Magda. “He stayed on me and pressed forward, which we knew he would. But he was stronger than I thought. I’ll have to watch the tape again, but I thought I landed the more effective punches.’’

Here’s what the fighters said 星期四:

ADAM LOPEZ

“This is my third time on 的ShoBox and my third fight against an undefeated fighter. They like to match me tough but I must confess, 我真的很期待它.

“I know I only had 14 打架, but I truly feel I feel I’m ready for a major fight or a title shot at the end of year. I have a strong amateur background, so I have experience. There are a lot of good fights right now at 122 英鎊. The division is hot.

“I fought at 118 last time so I can make that weight if the right opportunity comes, but I am strong at 122. I thought I clearly won my last fight. I don’t think it was as close as the judges said it was.

“I’m fighting a guy, 穆尼奧斯, who is sort of a mystery to me. I’ve seen one tape of him, but it was from 2012. So I don’t really know how he’s fought recently.

“He seems to want to box and slug. He’s had some good performances in the past and fought some good ones so I won’t take nothing away from him and I do respect him.

“But I’m prepared to make the fight and be aggressor if necessary, and to win it any way that I have to. 我的教練 [former two-time world champion Carlos “Famous” Hernandez] continues to work on all the little things, and trains me for anything that might come my way..

“I feel that I’ve moved from prospect to contender, but a victory明天 night should prove that to everybody.”

MARIO MUÑOZ

“This is my first fight in nine months and first in America, which is very exciting. You have to fight in the United States eventually; this is where you become known.

“I know that I’m in top shape. I’ve fought some good guys in my division, and I’m at the level I need to be. I had a really hard training camp; I know what I’m supposed to do.

“I’m grateful for this opportunity. I know a lot of people haven’t heard of me, but I promise you a good fight.

“I’m more of a boxer than a puncher, but I love to exchange and switch stance to southpaw, although my trainer doesn’t like it.

“Lopez is very fast, smart and has a great left hand. But I’m ready for all that. I’ll look at what he has to offer and counter with my best.

“I’m a little nervous. Things are moving fast now. But I couldn’t be more ready.’’

RONALD ELLIS

“I’ve been working for this sort of opportunity since I was 13, 所以, 是的, I am very excited. I want to win and look good doing it so promoters and television will want to see me again.

“I’ve had problems in the past getting opponents, so I’ve taken a few ‘stay busy’ fights. But this fight is a totally different story.

“Everyone says I’m a boxer-puncher, and I do feel I am versatile. I’ll decide how I want to go the night of the fight. We know how Jerry’s gonna fight so I need to fight him smart. We’ll see how Odom’s chin is because it’s going get tested 明天 夜晚.

“I only had 24 業餘打架, but I am dedicated and continuing to improve with each fight. It will be a great night for me. I’m looking forward to putting on a good show.’’

傑里ODOM

“Everybody has to make changes so I have a new trainer, Kennie Johnson, for this fight. He has been trying to stress finesse, movement and utilizing my overall skills more, with less emphasis on just trying to load up and knock the guy out.

“We’re working on me picking shots, breaking down opponents and setting up the power shots rather than just show it. Defensively, he’s had me working on my overall movement, head movement in particular.

“I’m looking to shine 在週五, especially after my last 的ShoBox fight that I lost. I should have never taken the fight once he came in so overweight. It was a bad business decision on my part, but I learned – no more thinking with my heart.

“I got over my last fight right away and I’m anxious to do my job and show how much I gained and learned from it. I certainly feel ready. My only focus is to win.

“Ellis should be a good opponent for me. Obviously he has power, a good jab and punches. There are some good things about him, 但我更好. I’ll go out and execute, he won’t be able to stop me.’’’

LAVISAS WILLIAMS

“I’m naturally lefty … I’ve sparred against ambidextrous boxers, so I like to say I’m ready for anything that comes my way.

“I’m excited to be debuting on national television. That’s a pretty big deal for me so I need to put a great show. Especially for my fan base back home, they are all going to be watching.

“I take boxing seriously. I like to say I’m very dedicated. I take advantage of any opportunity I see. I trained at Mayweather Boxing Gym in Las Vegas for a bit last year. It was a good experience.

“My job is to frustrate him and trust me, 我會. He will fight my fight. If he freezes again, I’m sure taking advantage of that, but I’m not counting on it.

“I’m going in knowing I’m the better boxer, but not overconfident. You can’t overlook anybody, but I know I’m the one that’s coming out victorious.”

O’SHAQUIE FORSTER

“I don’t know what happened in my last fight. I thought everything was OK but I just couldn’t find my fight rhythm. I couldn’t get off for some reason. But I am done thinking about that night.

“I’m definitely more focused this time around and in better shape. I need a win – and I’m fighting a guy who beat the guy that beat me, 塞繆爾·佘. 所以, I have to be smart. He’s a southpaw but I can deal with that.

“I’ve never worked so hard in camp. I left Texas to go to Washington D.C. to train for this. 我 100 percent set to go.

“I need a challenge and this is it. I’m ready to step up and I’m ready for him.”

JOHN MAGDA

“I’m excited and ready to go. Right now I’m looking at this as just another fight, but it’s definitely a big, big deal. I’m hoping to win and put on an exciting show.

“I’ve been in the gym training since November but a series of unfortunate events took place and I didn’t fight that month, or in December, or in January. 所以, I’ve been training for a while. 我已經準備好戰鬥.

‘I’m in with a rough, 硬漢. I can’t let him bully or push me around; I just can’t let him stand and throw.

“I need to box, move, do a lot of things I know I can do. I have to see how it plays. It’s all just a matter of me doing what I am supposed to do, whether it is to box or slug. I’m ready for it.’’

CHRISTOPHER BROOKER

“I love being the underdog; I’m accustomed to it. That’s why I work so hard, remain dedicated and will not ever quit.

“Magda throws a lot of punches, so you can’t expect him to stay on the outside. But I run 15 miles a day, three days a week after sparring, to get into the kind of shape I need to be in and am for this fight.

“This is my first fight against a southpaw, but I’ve had southpaw sparring, including some recently with [前世界冠軍] 安德烈Dirrell. I learned so much from him.

“I’m a Philly fighter through and through: I may not be a favorite to win, but I come to war and will never give up. That’s a lot like the way I grew up when living in foster homes — and later, 無家可歸, for some time. I just not give up, I keep on fighting.

“There’s a lot on the line for me 這個星期五 and I am ready to show what I can do.’’
