16-YEAR-OLD JOHNNY “NICCO” TAPIA STRIVES TO FOLLOW IN HIS LEGENDARY DAD’S FOOTSTEPS AS HE MAKES HIS AMATEUR BOXING DEBUT ON HIS MOM TERESA’S FIGHT CARD

SABATO, Novembre. 20, 2021, IN MESCALERO, NEW MEXICO

Youngest son of late Hall of Famer Johnny Tapia to fight on the preliminary portion of Tapia Promotions’ Barrera vs. De Leon: “La Ultima Batalla” (The Last Stand) vivere from the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casinò

ALBUQUERQUE, N.m. (Novembre. 13, 2021) – While countless high school juniors concern themselves with standardized test scores and submitting college applications, Johnny “Nicco” Tapia, the youngest son and namesake of the late five-time world champion, will commence his pursuit of a pro boxing career when he makes his amateur debut on the preliminary portion of his Mom Teresa’sMarco Antonio Barrera vs. Daniel Ponce de Leonpay-per-view fight card Saturday, Novembre. 20, 2021.

“Boxing is a passion,” said the 16-year-old currently working toward earning his diploma online. “I love stepping into the ring, getting hit, and feeling the crowd’s energy.”

In the Nov. 20 evento principale, two Mexican boxing legends will lace up the gloves for one final night when Hall of FamerMarco Antonio Barrera(67-7, 44 KO) returns to the ring for only the second time in more than a decade to square off against former two-time world championDaniel Ponce de Leon (45-7, 35 KO). The six-round super welterweight exhibition and four additional bouts will air live on pay per view from Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino in Mescalero, Nuovo Messico.

FITE PPV and Golden Boy Fight Night on Facebook Watch Paid Online will televise the five-bout main card live on pay per view for$9.99 a4:30 p.m. PT /5:30 p.m. MT/7:30 p.m. E

A native of Las Cruces, N.M., Nicco trains in the Tapia home garage, enjoys studying sociology to “look at people from a different perspective,” dislikes mathematics, and currently has no plans to further an academic career following his 2023 graduation.

“I don’t really plan to go to college,” said the music fan who freestyle raps in his downtime. “I want to keep pushing myself in the ring and turn pro as soon as I get enough experience.”

Surrounded by the sweet science from an early age, Nicco fondly looks back on innumerable heartwarming memories of watching his father train for upcoming fights.

“I used to go to the gym and run around with my Dad every day. When the bell rang, I held up the gloves with him.”

Outside of boxing, the father-son pairing spent quality time playing other sports, enjoying delicious desserts, and tuning into their favorite television programs.

“We used to go to the park, play basketball, and jump on the trampoline,” Nicco recalled. “Dad used to give me ice cream sandwiches. I remember going into his room and watching the show ‘Cops’ together.”

Aiming to find inspiration and discover boxing tips from one of boxing’s all-time greatest fighters, young Nicco frequently rewatches Johnny’s classic bouts.

“I study his speed, head movement, and 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, a 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.”

Kicking off the festivities, Golden Boy Fight Night on Facebook WatchFacebook.com/GoldenBoyFN and FITE will stream Nicco Tapia’s debut and four additional outstanding preliminary bouts forfree at 2 p.m. PT/3 p.m. MT/5 p.m. E.

Il compianto Johnny Tapia rimane una forte influenza per il pugile dilettante di Albuquerque Sharahya-Taina Moreu

Il defunto Johnny Tapia rimane una forte influenza per

Boxer amatoriale di Albuquerque Sharahya-Taina Moreu

2020 USA Boxing Nationals, Dicembre. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Giro. (Novembre 23, 2020) - Il tardo, grande pugile Hall of Fame Johnny Tapia ha svolto un ruolo significativo nello sviluppo di Albuquerque welter Sharahya-taina moreu, e la campionessa del mondo in 3 divisioni rimane una forte influenza nella sua vita.

Durante la pandemia COVID-19 si è preparata a competere nel 2020 USA Boxing Campionati Nazionali, Dicembre 5-12, allo Shreveport Convention Center di Shreveport, Louisiana.

Tapia (mostrato sotto con la schiena tatuata a Moreu) ha aiutato Sharahya-Taina a superare la tragedia che cambia la vita dell'incidente automobilistico di sua madre. All'epoca aveva solo otto anni, sdraiato su sua madre dopo l'incidente, e il primo uscito dall'auto e in autostrada chiedendo aiuto.

"All'inizio,"Ha parlato della sua relazione con Tapia, “Ero dispiaciuto e arrabbiato, litigare e prendere una brutta strada. Mi sono appassionato alla boxe 12, ha preso la gestione della rabbia, e sono diventato motivato. "

Tapia, che è stato 2 volte campione nazionale Golden Gloves come dilettante, ha avuto un enorme impatto sulla vita di Moreu, qualcosa che non lascerà mai il suo cuore e la sua anima.

“Siamo diventati come una famiglia,"Ha spiegato il 21enne. "All'inizio, lui (Johnny) non mi piaceva la boxe delle ragazze, quindi mi ha lavorato molto duramente. Ero un buon giocatore di basket e continuava a dirmi di andare a giocare a basket. Ma è diventato una persona importante nella mia vita, Penso che, perché avevo perso mia madre in così giovane età. Mi ha aiutato a entrare e uscire dal ring in tanti modi. Johnny Tapia era il più gentile, l'uomo più umile che abbia mai incontrato. Siamo diventati una famiglia fino a quando la palestra è andata in pezzi. Mi ha allenato solo per circa otto mesi, ma mi ha insegnato che la boxe ti definisce come persona. Mi sento al sicuro sul ring. Sono una persona migliore grazie a Johnny e alla boxe. "

Allenamento con suo padre / allenatoreYoruba Moreu durante la pandemia, anche se è stato difficile trovare un buon sparring, non è stato un problema tanto quanto per gli altri perché la sua palestra è in giardino. Non ha litigato dalle prove olimpiche dello scorso dicembre.

"Non vedo l'ora di tornare sul ring perché sono andato troppo a lungo senza concorrenza,Moreu guardava avanti verso Shreveport. "Sarà sicuramente diverso, perché ci sono un sacco di volti nuovi in ​​arrivo per il primo posto, che lo rende divertente e degno di combattere. "

Orgoglioso di rappresentare gli Stati Uniti in competizione, Sharahya-Taina è orgogliosa della sua eredità nativa americana e portoricana, e ha assunto la causa combattendo per le donne.

“Amo abbracciare entrambi i lati della mia cultura,"Ha commentato, “Rappresenta il mio lato Acoma da mia madre e il lignaggio Taino dal sangue portoricano in me, ed è per questo che mi chiamo Sharahya-Taina. Ogni giorno è una lotta per le donne. Sto solo rendendo noto e chiaro che siamo qui per restare. Non sto combattendo solo per me stesso. Sto anche lottando per la mia famiglia, antenati e la prossima generazione di donne che scelgono di prendere in mano un paio di guanti. L'obiettivo non è essere solo un campione sul ring, ma all'esterno, pure."

Moreu ha avuto molto successo nel suo sviluppo dalla giovinezza alla divisione d'élite, vincere il 2017 Campionati nazionali giovanili e Western Regional Open, nonché la 2016 e 2017 Youth Open. È stata anche runner-up al 2018 Campionati nazionali Elite e qualificazioni Western Elite, più il 2015 Olimpiadi nazionali juniores.

Sharahya-Taina Moreu è una giovane donna in missione. Spera di competere nel 2024 Giochi olimpici di Parigi, in particolare con suo fratello minore se entrambi si qualificavano per esserlo, come lei dice, "Un iconico duo fratello / sorella nella boxe olimpica."

2018 Qualificazioni Western Elite e Campionati Regionali Open
Mare. 6-10 all'Albuquerque Convention Center

CMOLLE OLORADO, Giro. (Marzo 1, 2018) – liceale Sharahya-taina moreu, uno dei migliori pugili dilettanti giovanili al mondo, farà la sua boxe USA nella divisione Elite femminile a casa ad Albuquerque, Marzo 6-10, alla 2018 USA Boxing Western Elite Qualifier e Campionati Regionali Open.

Il 18enne Moreu, chi ha intenzione di frequentare il community college l'anno prossimo, è un 2016 Campione nazionale di boxe USA, oltre a quattro volte nativi americani e 2014 Campione di Gene Lewis. Era una medaglia d'argento al 2015 Junior/Youth Open e 2014/2015 Campionati olimpici junior.

Boxe, suo padre/allenatore, Yoruba Moreu, alla fine degli anni Johnny Tapia l'ha aiutata a superare la tragedia che ha cambiato la vita della morte di sua madre in un incidente automobilistico, forgiare un nuovo percorso per lei come modello e 2020 speranza olimpica. “Avevo solo otto anni quando mia madre è morta,” Moreu ricordava. “Ero sdraiato su di lei quando l'auto è rotolata e lei è stata lanciata attraverso il finestrino posteriore. Sono stato il primo a uscire dalla carta e in autostrada a chiedere aiuto.

“Sono una persona migliore grazie a quell'incidente, anche se. All'inizio, Ero dispiaciuto e arrabbiato, litigare e prendere una brutta strada. mi sono appassionato al pugilato, ha preso la gestione della rabbia, ed è diventato motivato. Non mi rendevo conto che sarei diventato un modello fino a quando le ragazze non hanno iniziato a chiedermi consigli. Mi ammirano e alcuni di loro ora li alleno.”
Moreu ha iniziato a fare boxe all'età di 12 e Tapia, il cinque volte, campione del mondo di tre divisioni, in aggiunta a 1983 e 1985 Gloves Nazionale campione d'Oro, ha avuto un enorme impatto su Sharahya-Taina che rimarrà nel suo cuore e nella sua anima per tutta la vita.
“Siamo diventati come una famiglia,” Moreu ha detto. “All'inizio, non gli piaceva il pugilato delle ragazze, quindi mi ha fatto lavorare davvero duramente. Ero un buon giocatore di basket e continuava a dirmi di andare a giocare a basket. Ma è diventato una persona importante nella mia vita, Penso che, perché avevo perso mia madre in così giovane età. Mi ha aiutato dentro e fuori dal ring in tanti modi. Johnny Tapia era il più simpatico, l'uomo più umile che abbia mai incontrato. Siamo diventati una famiglia fino a quando la palestra non è andata in pezzi. Mi ha allenato solo per circa otto mesi, ma mi ha insegnato che la boxe ti definisce come persona, in e fuori dal ring. Mi sento al sicuro sul ring. Sono una persona migliore grazie a Johnny e alla boxe.”

Style-saggio, Sharahya-Taina depreda i suoi avversari’ errori, regolazione nell'anello come, lei dice, “Proprio come nella vita.” Alle 5′ 10″, Moreu ha un'altezza netta e un vantaggio sulla maggior parte dei suoi avversari di peso medio, usando quegli attributi, la sua velocità e il duro colpo per accumulare punti senza sosta.

Lei crede fermamente che, per colpa di Claressa Shields‘ esibizioni da medaglia d'oro nel 2012 e 2016 Olimpiadi, le porte sono più aperte per le donne nel pugilato. “Ho visto una donna americana fare quello che ha fatto Clarissa e diventare una forza dominante nel pugilato,” Moreu ha osservato. “(2016 U.S. Campione olimpico e tre volte campione nazionale di boxe USA)) Mikaela Mayer (3-0, 2 KO come un professionista) ha aiutato molto, troppo. Ha firmato con un buon promotore (Top Rank). La boxe sta lentamente migliorando per le donne, forse non uguale agli uomini, ma ci sono più ragazze che boxano oggi che mai e questo è un buon segno.”

Combattere in casa nelle qualificazioni occidentali ha un significato speciale per Moreu. “Pensavo che combattere ad Albuquerque sarebbe stata una grande pressione,” ha ammesso, “ma non c'è molta pressione su di me a causa di tutto il supporto che sto ricevendo. È facile qui. Albuquerque non è come una grande città ma sta diventando una città di lotta.

“Mi piace viaggiare e conoscere persone diverse. L'anno scorso, Ho rappresentato negli Stati Uniti in India ai Campionati Giovanili, e ho visto un'altra parte del mondo, come le persone si sono formate e hanno avuto stili di vita diversi. sto girando 19 a maggio, quindi questa è la mia prima volta nel pugilato in un torneo Elite, ed è fantastico farlo nella mia città natale.

Moreu attribuisce anche a suo padre gran parte del suo successo sul ring e nella vita. “È stato un genitore single, ma è sempre stato lì a fare del suo meglio per me come padre e allenatore,” Sharahya-Taina ha notato. “La maggior parte delle persone non sa che è portoricano, mia madre una nativa americana (pueblo).”

Come la maggior parte dei giovani, atleti d'élite, Sharahya-Taina ha un sogno. “2020 alle Olimpiadi,” ha concluso. “Voglio affermarmi come dilettante e alla fine diventare professionista e avere una buona carriera.”

VERONA, N.Y.. (Giugno 10, 2017) – Undefeated super lightweight Regis Prograis made an emphatic statement Venerdì suShoBox: La nuova generazione, 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 KO), who was making his fourth start on the prospect developmental series, called out the top names at 140 after the second round demolition (WHO 2:55) at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y..

The special Hall of Fame edition of ShoBox: La nuova generazione 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 la Domenica in un 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. Senza riguardo, 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 KO) 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, che sbarcò 62 percent of his power shots in the toughest test of his career.

"Stasera I proved I graduated from ShoBox,” Prograis said. “I’m ready for the bigger stage. I’m ready for the big show. I want to fight best the best in the division. Voglio (Terrance) Crawford, (Vincitore) 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 164th 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. I had 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 round. 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 KO) 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 KO) was the slightly busier fighter, collegamento su 412 total punches compared to 390 più di otto turni, but Nicholson edged his opponent 134-117 in total connects.

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 stasera was my jab, my patience, my overall boxing ability,” Rolls said. “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 libbre, 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.”

Nel match di apertura della trasmissione televisiva, undefeated lightweight prospect Jon Fernandez scored a brutal knockout of Juan Reyes at2:36 del secondo turno.

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 KO) falling back toward the canvas. The perfectly placed punch had Reyes seemingly out before he hit the floor.

The Spaniard Fernandez (13-0, 11 KO) landed a staggering 55 percent of his power shots and 40 per cento dei suoi pugni totale.

“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.

Di venerdì tripleheader will replay il Lunedi a 10 p.m. E/PT su Showtime Extreme e sarà disponibile su Showtime ON DEMAND® e SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

CITAZIONI FINALI:

 

Regis Prograis

“The person that wins this fight goes up, fiduciosamente, to a title fight. Sono 19-0, lui è 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. E ' 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, and the speed.

 

“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 [a New Orleans], 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.

“Questa è la mia occasione, this is my opportunity. 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 domani.

 

“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 cento. I didn’t waste four weeks of training camp trying to lose weight. Mi sento forte.

 

“A world championship after this fight, è quello che voglio. 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, ma staremo a vedere. 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. E 'stato lì, 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. Sono pronto per tutto ciò che porta.

 

“From what I’ve seen, si può combattere. 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 libbre 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. Penso che 130 is my ideal weight, but I might go up in weight in the future. Vedremo. 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. Questo è un sogno che si avvera. 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.”

ShoBox: The New Generation To celebrate 2017 Hall of Fame Weekend with a Special Tripleheader this Venerdì, Giugno 9 in diretta su Showtime® (10:30 p.m. E/PT) from Turning Stone Resort Casino

VERONA, N.Y.. (Giugno 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 libbre, discuss future plans ahead of Fernandez’s second appearance on ShoBox: La nuova generazione questo Venerdì, Giugno 9, in diretta su Showtime (10:30 p.m. E/PT, delayed on West Coast) dal Turning Stone Resort Casino in 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 anni. Fernandez (12-0, 10 KO), 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 Giugno 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 KO) for what could be an important fight in his development as he tries to turn from prospect to contender.

 

La carta, 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 KO) and Joel Diaz Jr. (23-0, 19 KO) nel main event 10 round. The co-feature will pit Steve Rolls (15-0, 9 KO) against Demond Nicholson (17-1-1, 16 KO) in un incontro di otto round dei super medi.

 

I biglietti per l'evento, co-promoted by DiBella Entertainment (DBE) and AASHA Record Breakers, sono al prezzo di $65 for ringside, $50, $40 e $30 (may be subject to additional fees) and are available at the Turning Stone Box Office, by calling 877-833-SHOW, or online at Ticketmaster.com. Porte si apriranno alle 7:00 p.m., con il primo periodo previsto per 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. Inoltre, 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. Ma, 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. E naturalmente, 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] e [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?

"Sì, naturalmente, 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. As far as boxing goes, 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, ovviamente. I also really like Terrance Crawford and Juan Manuel Marquez. Out of the boxing legends, I’ll stick to Alexis Arguello.”

The former amateur standout is coming off a first round knockout of Wilfrido Buelvas on Febbraio. 11.

 

“It’s ‘Rougarou Time’,"Ha dichiarato Prograis, whose nickname originates in Louisiana folklore and is defined as a werewolf-like creature. “This is a crossroads fight for me. I am ranked No. 4 by the WBC and fifth by The Ring a 140 libbre. I have worked hard to get here, and I am on a hunt for the title belts.

 

“Diaz is standing in the way of my ultimate objective and I know that I must defeat him to get where I want to be. He needs to get past me to move onto the next level himself, so I am sure he is equally motivated. That is what makes for great fights.”

ShoBoxfans are in for a treat as this will be a thriller while it lasts. Quando il fumo si dirada, I know that I will be the one left standing.”

 

STEVE ROLLS VS. DEMOND NICHOLSON – SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT – 8 TURNI

Steve Rolls, of Toronto, Canada, earned his biggest victory in his ShoBox debutto a dicembre 2015, stopping then undefeated prospect and amateur standout Steed Woodall inside four rounds. He has since earned two impressive knockout wins in 2016.

 

Rolls had a successful amateur career, competing on both the 2009 e 2010 Canadian National boxing teams and finishing with an 83-14 record overall. In 2009, he went to the International Boxing Association (AIBA) Boxing Championship uomo a Milano, Italia, where he lost in the Round of 16 a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Vijender Singh.

 

“It feels great to be back on ShoBox and I’m looking forward to putting on another spectacular performance,” Rolls said. “I know that Nicholson can fight and I expect him to come prepared. Training camp has been going very well and on Giugno 9, I will be more than ready.”

 

Demond “D’Bestatit” Nicholson is a super middleweight from Laurel, Md. with devastating power, scoring all but one of his wins by knockout, Compreso 10 al primo turno. The 24-year-old has won seven fights with one draw since his only defeat in 2014.

 

Nicholson, who owns an impressive victory over former world title challenger Milton Nunez, is coming off of a questionable draw against Immanuwel Aleem –who recently stopped Ievgen Khytrov in a back-and-forth brawl that aired on SHOWTIME. Come un dilettante, Nicholson accumulated a record of 110-15, before turning pro in July 2013.

 

“My time is now,” said Nicholson. “Any time that I am able to showcase my talent in front of a national audience means a lot. I am very humbled and thankful to be a part of this card. I’ve had great sparring, making adjustments every session. I saw Rolls’ fight against Steed Woodall – I think he has a lot to learn, and I will teach him a lesson. I look forward to victory and continuing to move up the world rankings.”
