"Je n'ai pas vraiment l'intention d'aller à l'université,” a déclaré le fan de musique qui rappe en freestyle pendant son temps libre. "Je veux continuer à me pousser sur le ring et devenir pro dès que j'aurai suffisamment d'expérience."

Entouré par la douce science dès le plus jeune âge, Nicco se souvient avec émotion d'innombrables souvenirs réconfortants de regarder son père s'entraîner pour les combats à venir.

« J'avais l'habitude d'aller à la salle de sport et de courir avec mon père tous les jours. Quand la cloche a sonné, J'ai brandi les gants avec lui.

En dehors de la boxe, le couple père-fils a passé du temps de qualité à pratiquer d'autres sports, déguster de délicieux desserts, et syntoniser leurs programmes de télévision préférés.

"Nous avions l'habitude d'aller au parc, jouer au basket, et saute sur le trampoline," Nicco a rappelé. "Papa me donnait des sandwichs à la crème glacée. Je me souviens d'être allé dans sa chambre et d'avoir regardé l'émission « Flics » ensemble. »

Visant à trouver l'inspiration et à découvrir les conseils de boxe de l'un des plus grands combattants de boxe de tous les temps, le jeune Nicco revoit fréquemment les combats classiques de Johnny.

« J'étudie sa vitesse, mouvement de la tête, et angles,” said the teenager who models much of his fighting style after his Dad and Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

When asked to name his favorite “Mi Vida Loca” fight, Nicco did not hesitate in listing Johnny Tapia’s hard-fought victory over fellow Albuquerquean and former world champion Danny Romero for the IBF/WBO junior bantamweight titles on July 18, 1997, à Las Vegas, Nev.

“The crowd was wild and crazy,” Nicco recollected. “I love studying my Dad’s boxing technique.”

Originally scheduled to fight at Inn of the Mountain Gods on July 31, 2021, the aspiring actor and former viola player pulled out of his amateur debut when he sustained a hand fracture.

“I was playing football with friends and landed on my hand wrong,” lamented the proud holder of a driver’s license. “It was the first time I injured myself.”

Less than four months later, Nicco is eager to thrill the Mescalero crowd on Nov. 20 before Barrera and De Leon take center stage.

“I am ticking off the days and can’t wait for this night to come.”

Le regretté Johnny Tapia reste une forte influence pour

La boxeuse amateur d'Albuquerque Sharahya-Taina Moreu

2020 Etats-Unis Boxe Nationals, Décembre. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiane

COLORADO SPRINGS, Tour. (Novembre 23, 2020) - La fin, grand boxeur Hall of Fame Johnny Tapia a joué un rôle important dans le développement du poids welter d'Albuquerque Sharahya-taina moreu, et la championne du monde en 3 divisions reste une forte influence dans sa vie.

Pendant la pandémie COVID-19, elle s'est préparée à concourir dans le 2020 Championnats nationaux de boxe USA, Décembre 5-12, au Shreveport Convention Center à Shreveport, Louisiane.

Mur (montré ci-dessous avec son dos tatoué à Moreu) a aidé Sharahya-Taina à surmonter la tragédie qui a changé la vie de l’accident de voiture de sa mère. Elle n'avait que huit ans à l'époque, couché sur sa mère après l'accident, et le premier à sortir de la voiture et sur l'autoroute demandant de l'aide.

"En premier,"Elle a parlé de sa relation avec Tapia, «J'étais regrettable et en colère, se battre et sur un mauvais chemin. Je suis entré dans la boxe à 12, a pris la gestion de la colère, et est devenu motivé.

Mur, qui a été deux fois champion national des Golden Gloves en tant qu'amateur, a eu un impact énorme sur la vie de Moreu, quelque chose qui ne quittera jamais son cœur et son âme.

«Nous sommes devenus comme une famille,»A expliqué le joueur de 21 ans. "En premier, il (Johnny) n'aimait pas la boxe des filles, alors il m'a travaillé très dur. J'étais un bon basketteur et il n'arrêtait pas de me dire d'aller jouer au basket. Mais il est devenu une grande personne dans ma vie, Je pense, parce que j'avais perdu ma mère à un si jeune âge. Il m'a aidé à entrer et à sortir du ring de bien des façons. Johnny Tapia était le plus gentil, l'homme le plus humble que j'aie jamais rencontré. Nous sommes devenus une famille jusqu'à ce que le gymnase s'effondre. Il ne m'a coaché ​​que pendant environ huit mois, mais il m'a appris que la boxe vous définit comme une personne. Je me sens en sécurité sur le ring. Je suis une meilleure personne grâce à Johnny et à la boxe. "

S'entraîner avec son père / coachYoruba Moreu pendant la pandémie, même si c'était difficile de trouver un bon sparring, n’a pas posé autant de problème que pour les autres parce que sa salle de sport se trouve dans la cour. Elle n’a pas combattu depuis les essais olympiques de décembre dernier.

«Je suis ravi de revenir sur le ring car je suis resté trop longtemps sans compétition,»Moreu se tourna vers Shreveport. «Ce sera définitivement différent, car il y a un tas de nouveaux visages à venir pour la première place, ce qui le rend amusant et digne de se battre.

Fier de représenter les États-Unis en compétition, Sharahya-Taina est fière de son héritage amérindien et portoricain, et elle a pris la cause de la lutte pour les femmes.

«J'adore embrasser les deux côtés de ma culture,”Elle a commenté, «Représentant mon côté Acoma de ma mère et la lignée Taino du sang portoricain en moi, et c’est pourquoi je m’appelle Sharahya-Taina. Chaque jour est un combat pour les femmes. Je fais simplement savoir et clairement que nous sommes là pour rester. Je ne me bats pas seulement pour moi-même. Je me bats aussi pour ma famille, ancêtres et la prochaine génération de femmes qui choisissent de prendre une paire de gants. Le but n'est pas d'être juste un champion sur le ring, mais à l'extérieur, aussi."

Moreu a eu beaucoup de succès dans son développement de la jeunesse à la division élite, gagner la 2017 Championnats nationaux jeunesse et Open régional de l'Ouest, aussi bien que 2016 et 2017 Ouvert aux jeunes. Elle a également été finaliste au 2018 Championnats nationaux élite et qualification élite occidentale, plus le 2015 Jeux olympiques nationaux juniors.

Sharahya-Taina Moreu est une jeune femme en mission. Elle espère concourir dans le 2024 Jeux Olympiques à Paris, en particulier avec son jeune frère s'ils étaient tous les deux qualifiés pour être, comme elle dit, «Un duo frère / sœur emblématique de la boxe olympique.»

Sharahya-Taina Moreu to make USA Boxing Women’s Elite debut at home in Albuquerque

Laisser un commentaire
2018 Ouest Elite Qualifier et championnats régionaux ouverts
Mer. 6-10 at Albuquerque Convention Center

COLORADO SPRINGS, Tour. (Mars 1, 2018) – High school senior Sharahya-taina moreu, one of the top youth amateur boxers in the world, will make her USA Boxing in the Women’s Elite Division at home in Albuquerque, Mars 6-10, au 2018 USA Boxing Western Elite Qualifier and Regional Open Championships.

The 18-year-old Moreu, who plans to attend community college next year, est un 2016 USA champion national de boxe, in addition to a four-time Native American and 2014 Gene Lewis champion. She was a silver medalist at the 2015 Junior/Youth Open and 2014/2015 Junior Olympic championships.

Boxe, her father/coach, Yoruba Moreu, la fin Johnny Tapia helped her overcome the life-changing tragedy of her mother’s death in an automobile accident, forging a new path for her as a role model and 2020 Olympic hopeful. “I was only eight when my mother died,” Moreu remembered. “I was laying on her when the car-rolled and she was thrown through the back window. I was the first out of the card and on the freeway asking for help.

“I’m a better person because of that accident, bien que. D'abord, I was regretful and angry, getting in fights and on a bad path. I got into boxing, a pris la gestion de la colère, and became motivated. I didn’t realize that I’d become a role model until girls started asking me for advice. They do look up to me and some of them I now coach.”
Moreu started boxing at the age of 12 and Tapia, le temps de cinq, triple champion du monde de division, en plus de 1983 et 1985 Or champion national Gants, had a tremendous impact on Sharahya-Taina that will remain in her heart and soul for life.
“We became like family,” Moreu said. “D'abord, he didn’t like girls boxing, so he worked me real hard. I was a good basketball player and he kept telling me to go play basketball. But he became a big person in my life, Je pense, because I had lost my mother at such a young age. He helped me in and out of the ring in so many ways. Johnny Tapia was the nicest, most humble man I’ve ever met. We became family until the gym fell apart. He only coached me about eight months, but he taught me that boxing defines you as a person, dans et hors de l'anneau. I feel safe in the ring. I’m a better person because of Johnny and boxing.”

Style-sage, Sharahya-Taina preys on her opponents’ mistakes, adjusting in the ring the same as, elle dit, “Just like in life.” At 5′ 10″, Moreu has a distinct height and reach advantage over most of her middleweight opponents, using those attributes, her speed and stiff jab to relentlessly pile up points.

She strongly believes that, because of Claressa Shields‘ gold-medal performances in the 2012 et 2016 Jeux olympiques, the doors are open wider for women in boxing. “I saw an American woman do what Clarissa did and become a dominant force in boxing,” Moreu remarked. “(2016 U.S.. Olympian and three-time USA Boxing National Champion)) Mikaela Mayer (3-0, 2 KOs as a pro) has helped a lot, trop. She signed with a good promoter (Top Rank). Boxing is slowly getting better for woman, maybe not equal to men, but there are more girls boxing today than ever before and that’s a good sign.”

Fighting at home in the Western Qualifier has a special meaning for Moreu. “I thought fighting in Albuquerque would be a lot of pressure,” elle a admis, “but there’s not much pressure on me because of all the support I’m receiving. It’s easy here. Albuquerque isn’t like a big city but it’s becoming a fight town.

“I like to travel and meet different people. L'année dernière, I represented to United States in India at the Youth Championships, and I saw another part of the world, how people trained and had different life styles. I’m turning 19 en Mai, so this is my first-time boxing in an Elite tournament, and it’s great doing it in my hometown.

Moreu also credits her father for a large amount of her success in the ring and life. “He’s been a single parent, but he’s always been there doing his best for me as a father and coach,” Sharahya-Taina noted. “Most people don’t know that he’s Puerto Rican, my mother a Native American (Pueblo).”

Like most young, elite athletes, Sharahya-Taina has a dream. “2020 in the Olympics,” elle a conclu. “I want to establish myself as an amateur and eventually go pro and have a good career.”

Son intronisation au CBHOF est une fin appropriée et un immense hommage à Sammartino et à sa carrière dans la boxe. “Je suis honoré d’être intronisé au Temple de la renommée de la boxe du Connecticut,” il dit. “C'est une excellente façon de terminer ma carrière.”

VERONA, N. Y.. (Juin 10, 2017) – Undefeated super lightweight Regis Prograis made an emphatic statement Vendredi surShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération, knocking down previously undefeated Joel Diaz Jr. four times in the second round as he stamped his arrival as a legitimate contender in the 140-pound division.

The southpaw Prograis (20-0, 17 KOs), who was making his fourth start on the prospect developmental series, called out the top names at 140 after the second round demolition (OMS 2:55) au Turning Stone Resort Casino à Vérone, N. Y..

The special Hall of Fame edition of ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération featured four members of the International Boxing Hall of Fame: ShoBox mainstays Barry Tompkins and Steve Farhood and special guests Al Bernstein and Jimmy Lennon Jr. Tompkins and Farhood will be inducted just down the road in Canastota le dimanche dans une 2017 class headlined by boxing greats Evander Holyfield, Marco Antonio Barrera and Johnny Tapia.

The super lightweights, Prograis and Diaz, entered the main event with a combined record of 42-0, but it was clear they were in a different class after the first round. Prograis knocked down Diaz in the opening 30 seconds of the second in an exchange that appeared to be the result of a clash of feet. Indépendamment, Prograis smelled blood and pounced on Diaz, flooring him again with a straight left midway through the round.

The Houston resident, who relocated from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, knocked down Diaz again just 15 seconds later with a straight left. The fourth and final knockdown, courtesy of a left hook, sent Diaz (23-1, 19 KOs) tumbling back and was enough for referee Mark Nelson to halt the bout with just seconds left on the clock.

It was a convincing statement for Prograis, qui a débarqué 62 percent of his power shots in the toughest test of his career.

"Ce soir I proved I graduated from ShoBox,"Prograis dit. “I’m ready for the bigger stage. I’m ready for the big show. I want to fight best the best in the division. Je voudrais (Terrance) Crawford, (Victor) Postol, (Adrien) Broner. I want them all. None of these guys have fought anybody like me. The boogeyman is coming. They better get ready.

“He was tough, he was strong and hit hard, but I went through it. That’s another opponent I ran through. I run through everybody. I’m ready for my shot. I’m coming for everybody at 140.”

Diaz, who became the 164e fighter to suffer his first defeat on the series, was clearly disappointed with his game plan.

“I went out there too hyper, trying to kill him,” Diaz said. “I went out too aggressive. I should have toned it down a bit. j'avais 10 rounds but I just went out there trying to take him out. I should’ve calmed down.

“I should have used my jab a bit more to knock him down but I came out swinging.”

Super middleweight prospect Steve Rolls managed to maintain his undefeated record with a closely contested eight-round slip decision victory over Demond Nicholson scored 77-75 Nicholson, 77-74 Rolls, 77-74 Rolls.

Rolls got off to a quick start, flooring Nicholson with a left hook in the closing seconds of the first to pocket a 10-8 tour. He came out attacking to sweep the second, but the fight appeared to change course in the third when Nicholson hurt Rolls in the final minute with his first meaningful punch of the fight.

Nicholson (17-2-1, 16 KOs) carried the momentum to sweep the fourth, but the remaining four rounds featured back-and-forth action and were difficult to score. Rolls (16-0, 9 KOs) was the slightly busier fighter, connexion sur 412 total punches compared to 390 plus de huit rounds, but Nicholson edged his opponent 134-117 au total se connecte.

ShoBox announcers Tompkins, Farhood and Raul Marquez all had Nicholson winning the final six rounds and edging Rolls 77-74 on their unofficial scorecards.

“What made the difference for me ce soir was my jab, my patience, my overall boxing ability,"Rolls dit. “I came in to this fight having no doubts. Nicholson was talking beforehand about my last fight, he was talking about my footwork, and I knew he was going to be in for a big surprise. I adapt for each fight.

“I knew I had him from the first round. My corner calmed me down and told me to take my time.”

Nicholson, who has mostly competed at 160 livres, disagreed with the judges’ decision.

“I’m not going to make any excuses. He won the fight,” Nicholson said. “That’s what the judges saw, but I don’t agree. He hurt me in the first round. He hit me viciously in the head. I was dizzy but I recovered and I went on. I think I did a very good job but clearly not enough.

“I can’t fight at 160 – I’m a 168-pounder. Fighting at that weight drained me. I wasn’t at my best.”

Dans le combat d'ouverture de la télédiffusion, undefeated lightweight prospect Jon Fernandez scored a brutal knockout of Juan Reyes at2:36 du second tour.

Fernandez stepped on the gas from the opening bell, utilizing superior activity and accuracy to pick apart the game yet outmatched Reyes. The pair combined to throw 240 punches in the opening stanza but Fernandez landed his right at will and was clearly the more effective fighter.

The Sergio Martinez protégé had a bloodied Reyes hurt in the opening minute of the second and closed the show in the final minute with a sharp right to the ear that sent Reyes (14-4-3, 2 KOs) falling back toward the canvas. The perfectly placed punch had Reyes seemingly out before he hit the floor.

The Spaniard Fernandez (13-0, 11 KOs) landed a staggering 55 percent of his power shots and 40 pour cent de ses coups totaux.

“The one-two, one-two was the key to opening the door,” Fernandez said. “The straight right hand is one of my best punches and I caught Reyes in the perfect spot. I hope he is OK. I feel that I am ready for the next level. I’ll fight wherever there is an opportunity, but I believe the big fights are here in the U.S.”

Reyes was responsive but taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure.

Vendredi de tripleheader will replay lundi à 10 p.m. ET/PT sur Showtime Extreme et sera disponible sur Showtime SUR DEMANDE® et SHOWTIME EN TOUT TEMPS®.

CITATIONS FINALES:

 

Regis Prograis

“The person that wins this fight goes up, avec optimisme, to a title fight. Je suis 19-0, il est 23-0. I feel like this is a real big fight.

 

“I take all my opponents seriously, but I’m taking this one even more seriously than others in the past. Il est 23-0, and there’s a reason he’s undefeated. He’s good, and he has the best record I’ve ever faced.

 

“I’m at a stage in my career where every fight can lead to the next big thing and I think this fight may be it for me. I’m patient, but I’m ready for more. I want a shot at a title.

 

“He’s a brawler fighter, but I have the better punching power, et la vitesse.

 

“If I feel like he [Diaz] can’t hurt me from the first round, I’ll probably just walk him down the whole night and punish him.

 

“Seeing what [Errol] Spence did motivates me, especially the way he did it in his opponent’s hometown. It got me thinking: that can be me one day. We went at it in the amateurs, so I know how good he is, but I’m good too. Just seeing him go over there and take the title away, I know my time is coming next.

 

“I grew up watching Macho Camacho, Roberto Duran, Mike Tyson, but I watched more Duran than anything. I really liked his style. I learned a lot watching the boxing greats on tape.

 

“Terence Crawford, Adrien Broner, Victor Postol. Those are the type of guys I want to fight.

 

“I started boxing in New Orleans, and if it wasn’t for Katrina, I probably wouldn’t be where I am right now. When I moved to Houston, I got into the boxing scene and started taking it seriously. It was a horrible situation [La Nouvelle-Orléans], but it changed my life.

 

“My family went back [to New Orleans], but not me. I stayed in Houston to box. I feel it’s not time for me to go back home just yet. I’ll come back when I become a superstar, like I’m supposed to be.”

 

Joel Diaz Jr.

“This is my chance, c'est mon opportunité. I’ve been told, ‘you only get one chance’, and this is it for me. I know Regis is good, but we’re going to put it on him. I’m going to be on him like flies on shit. This is one of the opportunities I can’t let pass.

 

“We’re going to break him down mentally, find our way in, and drop the bomb.

 

“He throws combos, and that’s what I have to take away from him. I have to be on him and be the first to attack. My power will take care of his speed.

 

“This means a lot to me, getting to show the world who the ‘secret’ is. People haven’t really seen what I have, but there will be no more secrets after demain.

 

“I’m going to show the world who the real Joel Diaz is. I’m now at the right weight for me and I’m 110 pour cent. I didn’t waste four weeks of training camp trying to lose weight. Je me sens fort.

 

“A world championship after this fight, C'est ce que je veux. This is my opportunity to actually show who I am and I can’t let it go. If I let this go, I might as well go back to school. This is going to open all the doors for me.

 

“We’ve been ready for this step for a while. I’d like to fight the winner of [Adrien] Broner- [Mikey] Garcia, mais nous verrons. I know Broner doesn’t want to fight me. I tried to fight him and he turned it down. He knows I’ll give him trouble.

 

“I changed trainers. I used to be with Abel Ramos, now I’m with Chris Byrd. With Coach Chris, it’s more defense than offense. Working with Chris is amazing. He was a fighter, so he knows what it takes to step in that ring. Il a été là, so he understands me from a fighter’s perspective and that’s very important for me. The bond we have inside and outside the ring is special.

 

“You’re going to see a more active Joel Diaz and a more defensive Joel Diaz. I’m going to show the world who Joel Diaz is at 140 and trust me, they will ask for more after they see it.”

 

Steve Rolls

“My last fight on ShoBox [against Steed Woodall in December 2015] was a learning experience. I was knocked down in the third, but I rebounded. You never know how you are going to react in the face of adversity until you are put in that position. I’m glad that happened early on in my career. It taught me a lot.

 

“I’m know I’m 33, but I feel better than when I was younger. I take care of myself. I have a clean lifestyle. Age is not a thing for me.

 

“Nicholson has a good jab. I’ve seen him fight before. I’m not sure if he’s made adjustments or if he’s coming with a different game plan. Je suis prêt pour tout ce qu'il apporte.

 

“From what I’ve seen, il peut se battre. He knows what he’s doing in there and it looks like he has some experience.”

 

Demond Nicholson

“This guy [Rolls] is not as experienced as me. I’m a big step-up for him.

 

“My last fight [against Immanuwel Aleem] was a big step up, and I fought to a majority draw. It was a slow start, but I’m a fighter, and I soldiered through. That fight really opened my eyes up to better my career, my future.

 

“Look at what Aleem has done since we fought. He knocked out an undefeated guy [Ievgen Khytrov] that no one wanted to face.

 

“My experience is going to get us over the hump against this guy. He has a dangerous right hand, but I’m going to take that away from him.

 

“I’m a natural boxer, but people were calling me a brawler after my performance with Aleem and that’s not who I am. But I get it – I didn’t box at all in that fight. That’s why I had to go back to the drawing board.

 

“I learned a lot training at Head Bangers in Washington, D.C. with Barry Hunter, Lamont Peterson and all those guys. I’ve learned from Lamont, from Adrien Broner, from Austin Trout. They spar with top fighters and that’s why they perform at the highest level – because they’ve sparred with the best. So I’m doing the same.”

 

“I have one loss, and that taught me a lot. I had to lose 15 livres in three days for that fight and that took a toll on me. There are no issues making weight for this fight.”

 

Jon Fernandez

“This is my second fight with my new trainer Tinin Rodriguez. I always try to get better and changing trainers seemed to be the best path for me. He’s helping me round up the fundamentals of boxing.

 

“I know I’m tall for my weight class, but I feel OK. Je pense 130 is my ideal weight, but I might go up in weight in the future. Nous verrons. I’m still young and I have a long career ahead of me.

 

“I used to watch tape of Maravilla when I was growing up. He inspired me to be serious about boxing. He was so good. It’s such of honor to be working with him. I respect him a lot.”

Juan Reyes

“I haven’t fought anybody that tall, but I have a good game plan. I know he’s a volume puncher, but that’s just going to get me excited. It’ll get my adrenaline pumping.

 

“I’m excited that I’m fighting on TV and in such special weekend, it’s the Boxing Hall of Fame. Ce est un rêve devenu réalité. If I beat this guy it could change my life.”

 

Sergio Martinez – Jon Fernandez Co-Promoter

“Jon is a thinker. He knows when to attack and when to defend himself. He’s truly gifted.

 

“Some may draw comparisons of him with Paul Williams, but I fought Williams twice and let me tell you they are not alike. Paul was the type of fighter that would get in the ring and go from first, to second, to third gear without thinking. JonFer will read you, will go to whatever gear he needs to be to defeat his opponent. He has a very high boxing IQ.”

Chris Byrd – Diaz’s Trainer

“Joel is an aggressive machine, so my main focus has been on developing his defense. He’s a talented boxer, but his aggressiveness sometimes opens holes in his defense. In this training camp, we worked on that. We have a good strategy going.

 

“He already knew how to fight, but you just have to push him a little bit on defense. He’s still aggressive as ever, but he needed to think about what’s coming back at him.

 

“My main thing is life after boxing. I have two brothers that are messed up from boxing. That’s why I focus on defense so much. He has an aggressive style, but he also has talent, good feet and eye coordination. He’ll go on to do great things.

 

“You’re going to see something special. Regis is good, I give him props, but you’re going to see something special from Joel. And a great fight.”

PROSPECT JON FERNANDEZ AND HIS CO-PROMOTER, FORMER WORLD CHAMPION SERGIO MARTINEZ, DISCUSS FERNANDEZ’S FIGHT ON SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION® THIS FRIDAY

Laisser un commentaire

 

ShoBox: The New Generation To celebrate 2017 Hall of Fame Weekend with a Special Tripleheader this Vendredi, Juin 9 en direct sur Showtime® (10:30 p.m. ET/PT) from Turning Stone Resort Casino

Photo courtoisie: Maravillabox Promotions

VERONA, N. Y.. (Juin 7, 2017) – Former unified world champion and current boxing promoter and mentor Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez, along with his protégé Jon “JonFer” Fernandez, an undefeated prospect at 130 livres, discuss future plans ahead of Fernandez’s second appearance on ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération cette Vendredi, Juin 9, en direct sur Showtime (10:30 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on West Coast) de Turning Stone Resort Casino à Verona, N. Y..

 

Martinez, known for his extensive career and impact inside the ring and now at the helm of Maravillabox Promotions, has worked with Fernandez since his pro debut at only 19 ans. Fernandez (12-0, 10 KOs), who is co-promoted by DiBella Entertainment and MaravillaBox Promotions, has remained undefeated and undeterred, climbing up the prospect ranks with five fights in 2015, another five in 2016 and now getting ready for his third fight this year.

 

In addition to Juin 9'S ShoBox being Fernandez’s third fight this year, it will also be his third time fighting on American soil as he opens the SHOWTIME telecast facing tough opposition in Juan Reyes (14-3-3, 2 KOs) for what could be an important fight in his development as he tries to turn from prospect to contender.

 

La carte, which takes place during the 2017 Hall of Fame Weekend where longtime ShoBox analysts Barry Tompkins and Steve Farhood will be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, features undefeated super lightweights Regis “Rougarou” Prograis (19-0, 16 KOs) and Joel Diaz Jr. (23-0, 19 KOs) dans le cas de 10 tour principal. The co-feature will pit Steve Rolls (15-0, 9 KOs) against Demond Nicholson (17-1-1, 16 KOs) dans un combat de poids moyen en huit round.

 

Les billets pour l'événement, co-promoted by DiBella Entertainment (DBE) and AASHA Record Breakers, sont au prix de $65 for ringside, $50, $40 et $30 (may be subject to additional fees) and are available at the Turning Stone Box Office, by calling 877-833-SHOW, ou en ligne sur Ticketmaster.com. Les portes ouvriront à 7:00 p.m., avec le premier combat prévu pour 7:30 p.m.

 

This week Martinez and his protégé, “JonFer,” spoke to SHOWTIME Sports about what the future might hold for the 130-pound prospect.

 

SERGIO “MARAVILLA” MARTINEZ:

How would you describe Jon Fernandez’s style?

“I believe that JonFer is a very well-rounded, complete fighter. He can take advantage of his great wingspan and reach but has no problem fighting in close distance. De plus, he’s hitting really hard. I believe we’ll see him fighting with big names in the division soon.

 

“JonFer has a classic boxing style—a classic, orthodox style. He’s effective when he’s attacking as well as defending. He poses a vision and a combat insight that is truly amazing. Not only does he have speed and precision, but he also has potential in his fists. Mais, the best characteristic that JonFer possesses is his great professionalism in the sport and in his personal life.”

 

What would you say is different in Jon compared to other boxers in the division?

“His head, he is very mature for his age. In that sense, he reminds me of myself. He is very serious when he’s working and always looking to improve.

 

“He has a stupendous perception of the errors his rivals make. He knows how to read the battle and knows when and how to define a fight. I believe that the more fights and time go by, JonFer will establish himself at the top level alongside the top boxers in the world.”

 

As Jon develops, what plans do you have for him?

“To continue with the hard work like we have to this date. I respect every step in his career. I’d like for JonFer to continue training and preparing himself for what can be a bright and stupendous future.”

 

Who do you want him to fight – Jesus Cuellar, Orlando Salido, Gervonta Davis, Jose Pedraza, Carl Frampton?

“All of the names mentioned are already great champions. They are all owed their due respect and it would be an honor, not only for Jonfer but for Maravilabox to have the possibility of making fight with any of them.

 

“Jose Pedraza would be a great test. We’d really like to make that fight happen. JonFer has sparred with Frampton before his rematch with Santa Cruz and we know he was up to the challenge. Et bien sûr,, we would love to go for the world title against Gervonta Davis and think it would be a great fight. A clash of styles.”

What belts do you want him to go for first?

“First, we’d like him to set a good base. The best for us is to continue building his career step by step and for him to continue learning and adapting himself bit by bit to the top level. As we continue making fights happen, there will be more opportunities for international and world titles. The goal is to get JonFer to become a WBC champion, the most important entity.

 

“We would be really excited to be able to win the European championship, but we’re ready to fight anyone. All of the belts are important and provide experience.”

 

What would you see as the ideal next step for JonFer in the next few years?

“Ideally we want to keep him at a weight in which he feels the most comfortable. As fights and time go by, if he needs to go up in weight, he’d do so without a problem. It’s possible for him to end up fighting in superior divisions, but for now we are focused on 130 and I think he can still battle at this weight for several years.”

 

Can you name who you think are the top five active boxers today?

“I really like Errol Spence Jr., he has a great style that I feel is like mine was. Canelo [Alvarez] et [Gennady] Golovkin are two of my favorites as well, they’ll put on a great fight. Andre Ward, Jorge Linares… There is a lot of talent in the sport at the moment.

What memories of Steve Farhood and Barry Tompkins stand out to you?

"Oui, bien sûr, I have some great moments of my years in the United States and I remember Steve always in front of the SHOWTIME cameras. He is a great professional.

 

“He is one of the highest-regarded boxing writers in the world. He is a man with a young mentality who knows how to appreciate good boxing.

 

“Barry Tompkins is a prestigious commentator and what I remember the most about him is seeing him commentate on fights in the era of Tyson and J.C. Chavez. To be a commentator of that stature then, he had to be an excellent professional.”

 

What would you say is the best (and worst) part about being a promoter?

“To be a promoter is thrilling. I believe that taking the career of the boxers in your hands must be treated like it’s your own life. It’s a true adventure. I can’t find a negative thing to say about being a promoter.”

 

Do you miss being a boxer?

“To this day I can say that I do not have any desire to return to the ring. My last fights were torturous and I still have problems with my knee to the date as I try to go about my daily life. I continue to train an hour each day and continue to love boxing, but now I prefer watching the youngsters like Jon and help them with my experience.”

 

JON “JONFER” FERNANDEZ:

Can you tell us what it is like for you to work with someone like Sergio Martinez?

“It’s great, Sergio is always very attentive and a mirror to watch yourself in. Like an athlete, he was one of the greats, but as a person he is even better. Maravillabox Promotions is composed of thorough professionals and the way they treat me is excellent.”

 

How is your training going? Is your camp any different for this fight?

“I haven’t had too much time since my last fight, just about five weeks. It has been tough, but we were coming off of a much more difficult preparation in fighting for Spain’s world title. I think this will make for a great fight and the fans will have a lot of fun.”

 

What are your plans for the future? In your career, life, boxe, in the next five years…

“I just got married in April and it was a great experience, the happiest day of my life. I would love to have kids soon. En ce qui concerne la boxe, of course I’d like to be a world champion. But first I’d like to go for the European title. I’d like to fight against the best prospects in the division and continuing to make great fights. I will be a world champion one day, I know I can get there.”

Who would you say is your all-time favorite boxer?

“I can’t just say one, I have several. Sergio Martinez, évidemment. I also really like Terrance Crawford and Juan Manuel Marquez. Out of the boxing legends, I’ll stick to Alexis Arguello.”

I look forward to victory and continuing to move up the world rankings.”
