Ennis returns to ShoBox for his second consecutive fight following a statement third-round knockout of then-unbeaten welterweight prospect Armando Alvarez in July. Making a name for himself in Philadelphia with his power and come-forward mentality, Ennis has scored 11 consecutive KO victories including two at 2300 Arena. A standout amateur who was ranked No. 1 en 141 pounds and won the 2015 National Golden Gloves tournament, Ennis narrowly missed the opportunity to represent the U.S. en el 2016 Olympics after losing a box-off to Gary Antuanne Russell at the Olympic Trials.

 

 

 

Serrano is just another opponent on my way to my ultimate goala world championship,” Said Ennis. “I am focused and I’m just going to keep working hard until I am able to accomplish that main goal. I can’t wait to display my talent once again on ShoBox.

 

 

 

The 21-year-old Ennis currently trains under his father Derek “Bozy” Ennis Sr., who also trained his other sons Derek Jr. y Farah, both ShoBox veterans.

 

 

 

The 29-year-old Serrano turned professional in 2007 and rattled off 18 consecutive wins to start his career. Serrano, who will appear on ShoBox for the first time since his 2013 meeting with Emmanuel Taylor, will face his third consecutive unbeaten opponent after a No Contest against Gerome Quigley Jr. and a unanimous decision loss to 22-year-old welterweight prospect Malik Hawkins. Serrano, also from Philadelphia, had an impressive amateur career, winning the national and international Junior Olympic tournaments in 2005 and the Pennsylvania State Golden Gloves in 2006.

 

 

 

“Estoy emocionado – this is Philly vs. Philly,” dijo Serrano. “We are two of the best welterweights going at it. I believe my experience with my new trainer Shadeed Saluki will help me in this fight and I do not think he has been in the ring with anyone like me. I am excited to be on ShoBox because the world will see my talents. With a win, this will lead me to even bigger fights.

 

 

 

Sims, a Chicago native, returns to ShoBox after his action-packed split-draw with unbeaten prospect Montana Love in July. Sims suffered the first and only loss of his career against Rolando Chinea via close majority decision on ShoBox a year prior but got back to his winning ways with a unanimous decision over Andrew Rodgers on October 13.

“Estoy listo para pelear,” said Sims. “I just fought on October 13 and got right back in the gym, so I am already in good shape. Teah is a good fighter but he is nothing special and certainly nothing that I haven’t seen before. I am happy to be back on ShoBox. I know they liked my last fight because it showed that I am only getting better and better every fight.

 

 

 

Sí, nacido en Liberia y luchando en Filadelfia, has had mixed luck on ShoBox. A two-fight veteran of the developmental series, Teah scored a unanimous decision over previously undefeated O’Shaquie Foster in 2015 but dropped a majority decision to Montana Love in February, an opponent who Sims Jr. drew with. Sí, que no comenzó a boxear hasta la edad de 19, scored an impressive first-round knockout of Zach Ramsey his last time out in August at 2300 Arena.

 

 

 

I will be ready to fight come November 16,said Teah. “I have seen Kenneth Sims fight. He is fast and was a good amateur. He just fought a draw against the last fighter who beat me, Montana Amor. I am excited about fighting him and I am also excited to be on ShoBox. I always face a higher level of opposition when I am on and ShoBox is always a great showcase.

 

 

 

The aggressive, come-forward Khegai made his U.S. debut at the 2300 Arena on ShoBox in May, registering the most impressive result of his career with a unanimous decision over Adam Lopez. The undefeated Khegai, who is a former Ukraine national amateur champion and two-time world champion in Thai boxing, made the switch to professional boxing in 2015 and has since compiled a near-perfect record while competing mostly in Russia. Born to Korean parents in Lymanske, Ucrania, the all-action Khegai will make his second ShoBox appearance in search of another statement win.

 

 

 

I am excited to be fighting in the U.S. por SHOWTIME,” said Khegai. “I look forward to putting on a memorable performance and cementing myself as a top name in the division. Noviembre 16 no puede llegar lo suficientemente pronto!”

 

 

 

Jorge Diaz Jr., from New Brunswick, Nueva Jersey, is coming off a significant victory over then once-beaten Adam Lopez, an opponent Khegai also beat via decision. The 31-year-old Diaz, who last fought in November 2017, also boasts impressive victories over Olympic gold-medalist Yan Barthelemy and former title challengers Alejandro Lopez and Emmanuel Lucero. Diaz’s five professional losses have come against opponents that hold a combined record of 88-1-4.

 

 

 

I feel very confident,” dijo Díaz. “Mi oponente es un buen luchador, who is strong, agresivo, and throws sharp punches but I will be in tip-top shape. Esta es una pelea muy importante para mí. I have this great opportunity, so I will be dedicated and will give my best effort.

SLOAN, Iowa (Julio 20, 2018) - Jaron Ennis continuó su racha de nocauts de manera impresionante en su ShoBox: La Nueva Generación debutará el viernes por la noche cuando el prospecto altamente promocionado de Filadelfia anotó un nocaut técnico en el tercer asalto contra el previamente invicto Armando Alvarez en una emocionante noche de peleas en WinnaVegas Casino.

 

 

 

Los 21 años de edad, Ennis (21-0, 19 KOs), un ex campeón nacional de guantes de oro, dominó al luchador de Key West Alvarez (13-1, 7 KOs) desde el comienzo, derribarlo cuatro veces en el tercer asalto antes de que la pelea fuera interrumpida con un segundo restante en el asalto. La victoria fue de Ennis 11º nocaut consecutivo en una pelea intensiva para el prospecto de peso welter, que parecía sereno en el ring desde el principio.

 

 

 

“Me siento tan bien después de esta pelea,"Ennis dijo. "Salí e hice lo que habíamos planeado, que era simplemente salir y derribarlo. No estaba nervioso y me divertí en el ring, Estuve aquí antes y estoy al tanto de todo. He estado en el ring toda mi vida y esto es siempre lo que he estado haciendo ".

 

 

 

Ennis came out aggressive against a game Alvarez and started his attack by going directly to the body. Él aterrizó 46 percent of his power shots and led 35-8 in body connects during the short fight, which was originally scheduled for 10 rondas.

 

 

 

Ennis, who has never been past the sixth round, didn’t have plans on making this a long night, as he connected on a left cross to the jaw to put Alvarez on the canvas for the first time after 30 seconds had elapsed in the third round. A delayed-reaction left to the pit of the stomach sent Alvarez down for the second time and a three-punch combination capped by a hook was good for knockdown No. 3.

 

 

 

Referee Adam Pollack waved the fight off with Alvarez on his knees with just one second remaining in the third round following a right uppercut to the chin that ended the fight.

 

 

 

“Alvarez was just another opponent,”Dijo Ennis, who out-landed Alvarez 23-3 in power punches in the final round. “He’s a great fighter but it feels like I’ve been here before. I’ve been fighting forever so it was nothing new. I’ve been doing this since I was a kid.”

 

 

 

Ennis’s two older brothers have both fought previously on ShoBox but came up with losses. “This was my coming out party and it really feels great to be the third Ennis to fight on ShoBox,” Ennis continued.

 

 

 

The previously undefeated Alvarez became the second fighter of the night to lose his undefeated record and the 176º overall in the history of the ShoBox serie, which this week celebrated 17 years since its inception in July of 2001.

 

 

 

He was faster than I expected and I didn’t execute my game plan,"Dijo Alvarez. “I was supposed to pressure and I didn’t. He hit me with a surprising shot. He had enough power that I had to respect him. He was just the better man tonight.”

 

 

 

In middle fight of the tripleheader, undefeated Thomas Mattice overcame a knockdown in the second round to escape with a controversial eight-round split decision victory over Armenian Zhora Hamazaryan. Dos jueces anotaron la pelea 76-75 a favor de Mattice con el tercer juez anotándolo 77-74 a favor de Hamazaryan.

ShoBox commentator Steve Farhood had Hamazaryan (9-1, 6 KOs) winning by a score of 78-73. “That was the worst decision I’ve seen in the history of ShoBox,"Dijo Farhood.

 

 

 

Mattice (13-0, 10 KOs) said he thought he did enough to win the fight, even though he was floored by a devastating right hook from Hamazaryan at 2:30 en la segunda ronda.

 

 

 

“Tonight wasn’t my best performance,”Dijo Mattice. “I felt like I Iost the few early rounds. [Hamazaryan] landed some clean shots and he’s a crazy competitor; he wasn’t giving me anything. Creo que la decisión fue justa. I out-jabbed him and it may have looked like he was hitting me more but he wasn’t really touching me. The crowd was going crazy over him tapping my gloves. I outpointed him overall.”

 

 

 

Hamazaryan’s pressure enabled him to work his way inside and render Mattice’s normally powerful jab mostly ineffective, as he landed just 19 por ciento de sus golpes. Besides scoring the fight’s only knockdown in round two,Hamazaryan controló la séptima ronda y aplicó más presión que Mattice en las últimas tres rondas..

 

 

 

"Estoy muy molesto,”Dijo Hamazaryan, que estaba peleando por segunda vez en los EE. UU.. “Merezco mucho más estar aquí en Estados Unidos. Trabajé muchos años por esta oportunidad., y que los jueces me lo quiten es simplemente terrible. Sé que he ganado. Siempre soy un campeón. Ya hablé con mi equipo y vamos a protestar esta pelea por el resultado correcto y le daremos una revancha..

 

 

 

añadió: "Lo derribé, lo lastimó varias veces más y dominó la pelea. ¿Y cómo pudieron quitarme esto? "

 

 

 

En la apertura de la transmisión por televisión, jóvenes prospectos superligeros Montana Love (11-0-1, 5 KOs) de Cleveland y Kenneth Sims Jr. (12-1-1, 4 KOs) de Chicago luchó por un empate dividido en ocho asaltos. Los jueces anotaron la pelea 77-75 por amor, 77-75 para Sims y 76-76.

 

 

 

La pelea llena de acción se libró en ráfagas cuando ambos luchadores salieron balanceándose. Sims era el luchador más ocupado y preciso, lanzando un total de 638 golpes y conectando 211 (33 por ciento) mientras el amor tiraba 529 golpes y conectado en 159 (30 por ciento).

 

 

 

“Trabajé bien al principio aunque estaba un poco oxidado,"Dijo Sims, 24, que no había peleado en más de un año debido a una operación de codo derecho. "Me relajé en las rondas intermedias, y lo recogió en los últimos tres. Pensé que gané la pelea, pero no me puedo quejar. No he peleado en un año y siento que soy más fuerte y mejor peleador de lo que era entonces ".

 

 

 

En su segunda aparición en la serie, Love, de 23 años, cobró vida en las rondas intermedias., highlighted by a blistering right hook midway through the fifth round that knocked out Sims’s mouthpiece.

 

 

 

“Today wasn’t my best day and I just wasn’t able to get in to a groove,” said Love, who fought against Sims when the two were teenagers in the amateurs. “I definitely didn’t fight my best. I felt good in the third and fourth rounds.

 

 

 

 

“We definitely want a rematch,” Love continued. “Today was an off day but we hundred percent want a rematch and want to fight again, wherever and whenever.”

 

 

 

triple jornada del viernes se volverá a reproducir el lunes, Julio 23 en 10 p.m. ET / PT por SHOWTIME EXTREME y estará disponible por SHOWTIME MOMENTO® y Showtime on DEMAND®.

 

 

 

Barry Tompkins calificó la acción desde el ringside, con Steve Farhood historiador de boxeo y ex campeón mundial Raúl Márquez calidad de expertos analistas. El productor ejecutivo fue Gordon Hall con Richard Gaughan produciendo y Rick Phillips dirigiendo.

JARON ENNIS vs. ARMANDO ALVAREZ – 10-Round Welterweight Bout

Ennis will debut on ShoBox following a statement second round knockout of former junior welterweight contender Mike Arnaoutis earlier this month, su 10º consecutive KO victory. The Philadelphia native had a standout amateur career, notching an impressive record of 58-3 and winning the 2015 National Golden Gloves tournament. Ennis, who was ranked No. 1 as an amateur at 141 libra, narrowly missed the opportunity to represent the U.S. en el 2016 Olympics after losing a box-off to Gary Antuanne Russell at the Olympic Trials.

 

 

 

“This is the opportunity I have been waiting for,"Ennis dijo. “I can’t wait to show the world my talent.”

 

 

 

Sólo 20 años, Ennis currently trains under his father Derek “Bozy” Ennis Sr., who also trained his other sons Derek Jr. y Farah. The 5-foot-10 Ennis will be the third brother to appear on ShoBox; Derek Jr. appeared on the series in 2007, and Farah faced Badou Jack on the series in 2013.

 

 

 

“A win on this platform would mean everything,” Ennis continued. “From here on out, I want to fight only the big names in the division. I feel grateful for this opportunity to show the world my talents and skills. It’s great to follow in my brother’s footsteps, and I am ready to take the Ennis last name to the next level.”

 

 

 

The 28-year-old Alvarez turned professional in 2014 and has gradually increased his level of opposition. Alvarez, who now lives in Key West, compiled a 26-4 amateur record and won the Florida State Championship in 2013. His headlining fight with Ennis will be his second fight of 2018 and by far his toughest test to date.

 

 

 

“This is the biggest opportunity I have ever received,"Dijo Alvarez. “This is it. It’s on. Ennis is a great young fighter, but I think he has stepped out of his league. He is just a kid. The world will find out who Armando Alvarez is on July 20.”

 

THOMAS MATTICE vs. ZHORA HAMAZARYAN – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout

A 27-year-old from Cleveland, Mattice turned pro in 2014 and had an amateur record of 72-18. He was a three-time Ohio State Golden Gloves Champion and bronze medal winner in the USA National Tournament in 2014.

 

 

 

Mattice will be making his second ShoBox appearance following a strong debut Feb. 2, when the undefeated lightweight rallied from behind to score a seventh round TKO of ShoBox veteran Rolando Chinea. Mattice has recorded five straight KOs and nine overall in 11 peleas profesionales.

 

 

 

“I am excited for the opportunity to showcase my talent again on ShoBox," Mattice dijo. “I’m going to go out there and do what I did before. I’m going to get a win, hopefully in knockout fashion. Este chico (Hamazaryan) doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into.”

 

 

 

Undefeated lightweight prospect Hamazaryan, who signed with Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing in February, is originally from Armenia but fights out of Los Angeles. Part of a long line of Armenian fighters who have fought in the U.S., Hamazaryan won his U.S. debut on Feb. 16, when he scored a unanimous decision win over the previously unbeaten Sergio Ramirez. Prior to his win against Ramirez, all of Hamazaryan’s victories were earned in Russia.

 

 

 

The 22-year-old was considered the No. 1 fighter in Armenia after an amateur career that spanned over 200 peleas. Hamazaryan turned professional in 2015, turning down an opportunity to fight for the Armenian Olympic Team in 2016.

 

 

 

“This fight is very important for me, and I am very excited to be fighting on national television in America,” Hamazaryan said. “I know [Mattice] is undefeated but I normally don’t look at my opponent. I’m just looking to put on a great performance and make a statement for fans in the U.S.”

 

MONTANA LOVE vs. KENNETH SIMS JR. – Eight-Round Super Lightweight Bout

Cleveland native Love was an accomplished amateur who compiled a 174-13 registro y ganó una medalla de bronce en el 2012 Campeonatos Nacionales de Guantes de Oro. The 22-year-old recently sparred with Adrien Broner, and served as head sparring partner for Robert Easter Jr. before his lightweight title defense against Javier Fortuna on Jan. 20.

 

 

 

Love has won two consecutive bouts against lesser opposition since defeating Samuel Teah in his ShoBox debut on Feb. 2.

 

 

 

“I am excited and happy to be back,”, Dijo Love. “I want to put on another great performance. Sims and I grew up as amateurs together. Él es un buen boxeador, but I am hungry and want to keep rolling. I can’t let anything get in my way.”

 

 

 

Chicago native Sims makes his return to ShoBox just over a year after suffering the first loss of his career against Rolando Chinea via close majority decision in what was his toughest test to date. The 24-year-old Sims, who has sparred with Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, era una 2013 U.S. National Amateur Champion and a 2012 Olympic Trials semifinalist.

 

 

 

“I am happy to be back fighting after having surgery on my elbow that had been bothering me for the last year and a half,” Sims said. “This is my chance to prove that I’m back and the loss on ShoBox was a fluke. I remember Love from the amateurs and I know I have what it takes to beat him.”
