San Juan, PUERTO RICO - maart 18, 2021 -Engel Fierrosteeg tweemaal van het canvas op weg naar een verbluffende comeback knock-out overwinning in de zesde ronde tegen voormalig wereldkampioenAlberto Machadoals het nieuwste hoofdstuk van het iconische Puerto Rico vs.. De rivaliteit in de ring van Mexico werd geschreven in het hoofdevenement van Ring City USA, live op NBC Sports Network van Albergue Olimpico (Olympisch centrum) in Salinas, Puerto Rico.

Tijuana's Fierro (18-1-1, 14 KO) gaf Machado (22-3, 18 KO) van Rio Piedras zijn eerste professionele verlies in Puerto Rico, na een hete start van de voormalige wereldkampioen lichtgewicht bij de junioren. Machado, 30, scoorde een knockdown in elk van de eerste twee rondes met goed geplaatste rechtse tegenstempels. Fierro toonde een stevige kin en versloeg de graaf beide keren gemakkelijk, om aan te geven dat hij niet gewond was geraakt door de krakende krachtstoten. Fierro was neergeslagen 48-45 op de scorekaarten van alle drie de juryleden op het moment van de onderbreking.

"Ik ben gelukkig, Ik stond vanavond tegenover een eersteklas vechter in Alberto Machado,'Zei Fierro, die een drie-tegen-één underdog was. “Hij is van wereldklasse en heeft me twee keer afgezet. Maar ik ben extatisch dat ik terug kon komen en een vechter van zijn kaliber kon verslaan. "

De 22-jarige lichtgewicht veranderde het gevecht in de vierde ronde terwijl hij zich wijdde aan een vicieuze lichaamsaanval tegen Machado.. Het lichaamswerk wierp zijn vruchten af ​​toen hij in de vijfde en zesde ronde openingen vond, wat uiteindelijk leidde tot een vicieuze linkerhand die de voormalige titlist voor de eerste en enige keer in het gevecht naar het canvas stuurde. Fierro schreef het vinden van zijn tweede wind toe aan zijn tweejarige dochter in Mexico.

“Hij liet me twee keer vallen in het begin van het gevecht,”Voegde Fierro toe. 'Toen ik terugkwam in mijn hoek, Ik heb het ze verteld, 'Doet me denken aan mijn dochter.' Omdat ik met dit gevecht haar leven kan veranderen en dat is precies wat ze deden na de derde ronde. Ze motiveerden me en dat is precies wat ik deed. "

Voorafgaand aan het gevecht, Fierro vertelde het uitzendteam van Ring City USA, "De beste rechter is een knock-out als je vecht in de geboorteplaats van iemand anders." De Mexicaanse krijger, die de ongeslagen prospect Hector Tanajara verving met een opzegtermijn van een week, kwam zijn belofte na om het heft in eigen handen te nemen.

"We vonden veel hiaten in het spel van Machado in de zesde ronde,”Verklaarde Fierro. “Ik heb er misbruik van gemaakt en heb het omgedraaid. Ik vertelde het je in het interview (voor het gevecht), Ik ben hier niet gekomen om een ​​toerist te zijn in Puerto Rico. Ik kwam hier om te winnen. "

Direct voorafgaand aan het hoofdevenement, IerlandJoe Ward (3-1, 2 KO) wraakte zijn enige professionele verlies met een dominerende unanieme beslissing over de overwinningSlank frame(7-2, 5 KO) in hun zes-ronde lichte, zware kanteling. In Oktober 2019, de 15-voudig Irish National Champion Ward stond tegenover Delgado in zijn professionele debuut en kreeg een ontwrichte knieschijf die leidde tot een technische knock-out overwinning voor de Turlock, Calif. inheems. Onder de voogdij van wereldkampioen in twee divisies Joey Gamache, de 29-jarige Ward toonde zijn spectaculaire amateur-pedigree terwijl hij probeerde zijn professionele carrière te versnellen.

In het tweede gevecht van de uitzending, Alma Ibarra (7-1, 4 KO) verdiende een zwaarbevochten unanieme beslissingMaricela cornejo (13-4, 5 KO) in een acht-ronde middengewicht gevecht. Twee van de eerste rangrechters scoorden zeven rondes voor Ibarra (79-73) terwijl de derde het zag 77-75 voor de winnaar. Ibarra, die uit Monterrey komt, Mexico, bracht het gevecht tijdens het gevecht naar de inwoner van Los Angeles en was de veel drukkere jager.

'Nu weet de wereld wie Alma Ibarra is en waar ze van gemaakt is,”Zei de overwinnaar. "Aan iedereen, Ik was een vreemde. En om te vechten tegen iemand die wereldwijd zeer erkend wordt in Maricela Cornejo en haar te verslaan, dit opende vele deuren voor ons. "

Ibarra, 32, keerde terug van een ontslag van 16 maanden na haar eerste professionele nederlaag tegen Raquel Miller in 2019. Ibarra, die een succesvolle amateurcarrière hadden, zag er comfortabel uit toen ze de ring voerde tegen de doorgewinterde professional in de 33-jarige Cornejo. Ibarra, een natuurlijk weltergewicht, vocht tegen het zwaarste gewicht van haar carrière (156 lbs.).

“Ik voelde me erg goed, heel sterk, aangezien dit een divisie is die ik niet gewend ben,”Zei Ibarra. “Ik vecht altijd in lagere divisies, we moesten twee divisies omhoog om deze geweldige kans te grijpen, en goed, Ik denk dat we niet verkeerd waren om dit risico te nemen. "

In het co-main event van de avond, waarmee de hoofdkaart van vier gevechten op NBC Sports Network begon, Jose "Chiquiro" Martinez(21-1-3, 14 KO) van Mayaguez, P.R. enIsraël Gonzalez (26-4-1, 11 KO) van Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, vochten voor een meerderheid in hun 10-ronde bantamgewicht-affaire. Terwijl een rechter op de eerste rang Gonzalez gaf, 24, de rand op de scorekaarten (96-94), de overige twee juryleden scoorden het identiek op 95-95. De onofficiële scorer van Ring City, Steve Smoger, had Gonzalez aan de kant van de geboorteplaats jager 97-93.

'Ik voelde zijn klappen, maar ik was vanavond de superieure vechter,"Zei Gonzalez. "Hij heeft misschien drie rondes gewonnen, maar het is oké. Ik ben Puerto Rico en alle mensen dankbaar die me de kans hebben gegeven om hier te zijn. "

De 28-jarige Martinez deed zijn beste werk aan de binnenkant toen hij probeerde het vijf-inch bereikvoordeel van de jongere Gonzalez te neutraliseren en leidde op twee van de scorekaarten tot halverwege het gevecht.. Ondertussen, Gonzalez flitste uitstekende handsnelheid in de heen-en-weer-affaire en stal veel van de latere rondes toen hij zijn tweede wind vond. Dit was het derde gelijkspel voor Martinez tijdens zijn laatste zeven gevechten en het eerste voor Gonzalez.

“Ik voel me gelukkig, tevreden met het werk dat ik deed,”Zei Martinez. “Ik begrijp dat ik vocht tegen een sterke tegenstander en dat ik won. Ik heb meer geduwd. Ik zat bovenop hem, maar deze dingen gebeuren bij het boksen. Nu is het een kwestie van doorgaan met trainen, mezelf in stand houden en die titel zoeken. "

Na het co-main event tussen Martinez en Gonzalez, Ring City USA bracht hulde aan wijlen Marvelous Marvin Hagler, die stierf op 66 op zaterdag. Een lid van de International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hagler regeerde meerdere jaren als de onbetwiste middengewichtkampioen en nam in de jaren tachtig deel aan verschillende klassieke wedstrijden..

“Het mooie deel van Marvelous Marvin Hagler, als je de kans had om bij hem in de buurt te zijn, is dat hij authentiek was,”Zei de omroeper Bob Papa. 'Net zoals hij in de ring was, zo behandelde hij je buiten de ring. Hij is echt een van de grootste kampioenen aller tijden. "

Eerder op de avond, live op Twitch in de VS.. en wereldwijd, Angel Acosta (22-2, 21 KO) van Barrio Obrero Santurce, Puerto Rico, behaalde voor het eerst in zijn professionele carrière een overwinning op de scorekaarten, het verdienen van een unaniem besluit overGilberto Mendoza (17-10-3, 8 KO) van Baja California, Mexico, in een super vlieggewichtgevecht van acht ronden. Vechten in zijn geboorteplaats Salinas, Edwin Valentin(10-0, 9 KO) bleef perfect met een vijfde ronde technische knock-out overwinning op mede-Puerto RicaanseHector Marengo(7-15-4, 4 KO). In het openingsgevecht van de avond, Jose Roman (11-0, 5 KO) van Bayamon, Puerto Rico, versloegRoque Junco(10-8-1, 6 KO) via unanieme beslissing in een weltergewichtgevecht van acht ronden.

Oproep aan alle actie in Puerto Rico was de voormalige tweevoudig kampioen weltergewicht Shawn Porter, vergezeld door NBC Sports blow-by-blow-commentator Bob Papa. Brian Campbell diende als fight night-analist met Curran Bhatia die rapporteerde vanaf de eerste rang. De uitvoerende producenten van de presentatie van vanavondRing City USA: Machado versus.

Although Corral was able to finish the fight, Lopez controlled the action throughout, dropping Corral to the canvas in the 10th round to cement the victory.
Het co-main event zag Alejandro Luna (22-0, 15 KO) nederlaag Andrey Klimov (19-4, 9 KO) met eenparigheid van stemmen (97-93, 98-92, 98-92) in a thrilling ten-round lightweight bout. Luna stunned Klimov on a couple of occasions, but the resilient Klimov would not be knocked out, instead going the distance in a fan-friendly battle.
The televised opener featured 2016 U.S. Olympiër Karlos Balderas (1-0, 1 KO) getting a powerful stoppage in his professional debut over Thomas Smith (3-5-1, 2 KO). Balderas stalked Smith with precision and forced Smith’s corner to throw in the towel following the first round.
The non-televised fights featured a slew of talented fighters making their highly anticipated professional debuts. 2016 Mexican Olympian and Bronze medalist Misael Rodriguez (1-0) secured a unanimous decision (40-36, 40-36, 40-36) over Brian True (1-7-1, 1 KO) in four-round slugfest.

Geld Powell IV (1-0, 1 KO) used his height and reach advantage to dominate Todd Templeton (0-1), knocking Templeton down twice and then stunning him a third time before the referee stopped the action in the first round (2:55).
Here is what the fighters had to say following their bouts:
Josesito LOPEZ
“Vanavond was a result of all the work I put in over the last few months with Robert Garcia.
“I dropped him with a left hook, but he’s a gritty guy. He took some punishment. I was a little careful in there, hoewel. It’s been a while since I fought some good rounds like that. There were a few times that I tried to go for the kill, but he’s tough guy and stayed alive.
“It felt good going the distance. My body felt good. Meer dan wat dan ook, I was alert and my instincts were quick. I had good reflexes and I was sharp. I got hit with very few punches, so I think I did OK vanavond.
“I’m coming along. This is my second fight coming back in twee jaar. It’s a little process. I feel like for my next fight I’ll be that much better. I’m just focused on continuing to get better. I want to step it up for the next fight.
“We have a plan. Robert and I have only been training together for a short while, but the improvement is there and there’s more to come.
“I’m the Riverside Rocky and I want to be in exciting fights that friends and family members will remember for years. I definitely have the grit and the (guts) to get in there with the best of them. I’m a lot smarter inside the ring now.”
SAUL CORRAL
“I felt like my distance was off vanavond. I think I need to spend more time sparring. I didn’t have a lot of sparring partners for this fight and I think that affected me.
“I thought when Lopez landed punches I came back strong, but I didn’t continue with the attacks because he was able to stop me.
“I just need to change some things up in training camp, and then I think I can get back to another big fight.”
ALEJANDRO LUNA
“Klimov is a very tough guy. We’ve seen him go the distance with Terrence Crawford. He’s fought the cream of the crop, so it’s an honor to get a win over him. He’s a top-level fighter, so this victory goes to show that we’re ready for any top-five lightweight.
“Our plan vanavond was to work the body. We noticed he has a pretty high guard, so I wanted to go to the body to break him down little by little.
“I know that I hurt him with a couple body shots, but he recovered fast. Later on, I hit him with an overhand right that got to him, but he’s such a tough guy.
“My thing is always to please the crowd. I think this sport is as much about entertainment as it is skill and the fans want to see a show. That’s why I bring the action and do whatever I can to make it exciting for them.
“The last round wasn’t my best. He was outworking me a little, so as soon as the 10-second bell rang I wanted to close the fight out strong. Helaas, I opened up and we clashed heads, which caused the cut over my left eye.”
Andrey Klimov
“I got staggered a little bit, but it wasn’t anything that I thought was going to turn my lights out.
“Luna is a very herky jerky fighter. The cut over my left eye came near the end of the fight when we clashed heads.
“Ik ben 35 jaar oud. We’re going to go home and take some time to think about what’s next. I’ve been fortunate to do a lot of things in this sport. Now it’s time to talk with my family and decide my future.”
KARLOS BALDERAS
“We spent a lot of time sparring with great fighters to get ready for this fight. I think all the practice paid off and my speed was my biggest asset vanavond.
“I think their corner stopped the fight because he was taking so many shots, but I’m not sure.
“I’m happy and excited to be a pro. I have so many people here vanavond supporting me coming in from Oklahoma and Texas, so it’s an honor. I felt like a win wasn’t enough. I needed to make a statement.
“I’m going to try to stay busy. I’d like to fight every two months, so I hope to be back in June fighting again.”
THOMAS SMITH
“I really had a bad headache. After the first two punches, I thought I could take it. I know he has a good body shot, but it didn’t really affect me. But after the fourth and fifth good one, I knew it was too much. I didn’t want to go out there in the second round just to get hurt.”
MISAEL RODRIGUEZ
“I honestly thought it was going to be an easier opponent. I haven’t been active since the Olympics eight months ago, but I trained very hard for this fight and got the win vanavond.
“I don’t think he brought anything to the table that was that different than what I’ve seen before, but it was my first pro fight and maybe there were some first fight jitters.
“I’ve never had a bloody nose before, dus vanavond was definitely something different for me, but I rolled with the punches.
“It means a lot to me to be a professional fighter now. I know the expectations are higher, and there are a lot of differences between the pros and amateurs, but it felt great in there.”
EIMANTAS STANIONIS
“I had a great camp, I have fantastic coaches and I work hard every day in the gym. Vanavond, it all paid off.
“I saw that I was able to land some good shots, and I could tell I was getting to him a little bit, so I started throwing more and more to try and stop him.
“This has been a dream of mine forever. I grew up watching legends like Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao, and now I’m a professional fighter just like them.
“I’m ready to continue proving myself. I’ll fight anyone they put in front of me.”
LINDOLFO DELGADO
“My team and I had a game plan and I followed it to the letter.
“The punch that I dropped (Silva) with was a left uppercut. Thankfully I was able to land it and I knew I had him hurt.
“Competing in Rio de Janeiro in the Olympics was an incredible experience and a good learning lesson for me, but now I’ve officially made my transition into the pros. It felt different in the ring vanavond, but I was very prepared.
“I’m just going to continue training hard to build on this performance and little by little we’re going to reach our goals.”
MONEY POWELL IV
“I did what I wanted to do vanavond. I dominated early. (Templeton) is a tough, old dude, and I want to thank him for taking this fight and allowing me to showcase my skills.
“I was just trying to start the fight out by controlling my distance and using my jab, but I could see he didn’t have much to offer, so I stopped using my jab so much. Once I realized I could land shots on him I went with my power punches because anything I threw was going to get him.
“Becoming a professional fighter is a dream come true for me. I always wanted to be a fighter ever since I was a little kid. Thankfully Richard Schaefer signed me and gave me a chance to realize my dream.
“This is only the beginning for me. I’m trying to be the best fighter that’s ever lived.”

ALEJANDRO LUNA
“More than anything I think that the fans can expect fireworks. I’m fighting a crafty veteran guy in Klimov who has fought the best. He’s fought guys like Terrence Crawford and Jose Pedraza. Our styles are meant for each other and I think they’re going to clash. The fans are going to be the real winners.
“I say yes to every challenge they put in front of me. This is a big test. I feel confident in my training and I believe I can get past Klimov. I think getting this win shows that I’m ready to fight any champion in the lightweight division.
“Ik train 100 percent every time. I had a smooth camp and I’m ready to go. My work ethic is my secret weapon. I’m a believer that fights are won in the gym.

“I’m going to keep working and getting stronger and better. I have to be consistent and have good training camps so I can reach my goals.
“Trainen met Robert Garcia is geweldig. He has had a lot of champions and I hope that I will be next. Him and his whole family are good people and they’ve treated me like family. I’ve learned a lot already.
“I have to be smart in the ring. I’m a Mexican fighter in my heart and I always will be. But I have to be smart and be ready for anything in the ring.”
MARICELA CORNEJO
“Joel Diaz has helped me so much with the mental side of the game. The way he speaks so passionately about the sport, he transfers that to me. I feel that belief and trust. He gives me the right words to keep me going and unleash anything I was holding back.
“I work really hard at this sport. People didn’t see me when I was coming up, but It’s been a real journey. I’ve never backed down from anything. I’m proud to be a female fighter in the sport right now. Female athletes are getting more attention across the world than they ever have.
“Boxing means a lot to me. I’ve overcome a lot of obstacles. Getting in the ring and getting hit in the face is a lot easier than what I’ve had to go through. I love boxing because it’s all about going for the win no matter what is thrown in front of you.”

“All of these young fighters we’re letting loose op zondag are coming to fight. This won’t be ‘Dancing with the Stars’, they will come to engage and destroy. These guys all have advanced skills and I look forward to seeing them in the ring.
“Misael Rodriguez is a very charismatic person. He’s an entertainer and a fighter. With Abner behind him as a manager and Robert Garcia as a trainer, this is a kid who wants to surround himself with the best. Watching his career will be very exciting.
“Josesito had his biggest win, over Victor Ortiz, right across the street at Staples Center and he is ready for the next step in his career in a stacked welterweight division. I also believe that Alejandro Luna is on the cusp of being in world title contention if he can get through Klimov op zondag. Bovendien, you have one of the most charismatic female stars in Maricela Cornejo going along with an incredible group of young talent making their debutsop zondag.
“With this new young class of fighters coming out of Southern California combined with world champions like Leo Santa Cruz, Mikey Garcia and Abner Mares, Los Angeles is on its way to being the fight capital of the world again.
“I’ve never done an event on a Zondag and it definitely doesn’t happen very often. I want to challenge the status quo and try different things. I am equally excited about this Sunday card as I have been for any card I’ve promoted because of all the great young talent.”
Abner Mares, Rodriguez’s Manager
“I’m nervous and excited to see Misael in the ring op zondag. He’s a fighter with a lot of heart and the desire to become a world champion just like I was coming out of the Olympics.
“Our goal is to have Misael fight six times this year. We’re going to go step-by-step to make him a champion.
“Misael is the future. He brings excitement and he’s likeable. He’s in a great weight class and the team he has behind him will get him to where he needs to go.
“Seeing Misael grow from the manager’s side will be as exciting if not more than my own progression. I can’t wait to take him to a world championship.”

Hier is wat de deelnemers te zeggen had Dinsdag:
KARLOS BALDERAS
“I’ve improved a lot working in the gym. I’m doing a lot of good sparring and strength and conditioning work. We’re training harder but also a lot smarter than ever.
“I’m really looking forward to this fight. I’ve prepared well. I’m taking this as seriously as a championship fight. You’re going to see a new Karlos Balderas on April 9.
“I definitely want to make Los Angeles my home for as many fights as possible. That’s where everything is happening. I want to make Los Angeles mine.
“I want to be in exciting fights as a professional. I’m proud of what I did in the amateurs and the Olympics, but I know this is an entirely different game. I’m looking to do even bigger and better things.
“I’m going to take it one fight at a time. I want to build a perfect record and build my fan base. I hope to be fighting for a world title in a few years. I know that I have the right team to get me there.
“I’m going to try to stay busy and get a fight every two months or so. My last fight was at the Olympics in Rio, but after this one I’ll be ready to stay in training throughout the year.
“I’ve known a lot of these other fighters here for a long time from all of the amateur tournaments. It’s nice to see us all coming together now as professionals. In the amateurs people pretty much stay with their own team, but this is the time for us to come together and learn from each other. It’s a great feeling to be a part this.
“Everyone knows a Carlos with a ‘C,’ so I wanted to stand out. As a professional and from here on out, I am going to be known as Karlos with a ‘K’.”
MISAEL RODRIGUEZ
“I feel very strong and I’m excited to get back in the ring. I’m hungry to fight and prove myself in this sport.
“I’m looking forward to being in big fights. I know that it takes time. I will get there eventually and become a world champion.
“I’ve known Abner Mares for a long time because he was a Mexican Olympian as well and it was an easy decision to have him help me with my career.
“I knew after the Olympics that it was time to turn pro. Growing up as a Mexican child, all I wanted was to be a world champion. I want to be a fan-favorite for Mexicans.
“Los Angeles is like a second Mexico. It will feel like Mexico to me. I know that I will have a lot of fans coming from my hometown [Chihuahua, Mexico] to support me. I’m excited to work with Richard and put on more great fights.”
EIMANTAS STANIONIS
“I was very excited and eager when I first heard about the opportunity to train with Freddie Roach. I came out to California as soon as I could to start training.
“I’m working very hard. I give it my all in training and I leave everything in the gym every single day. I’m just going to keep doing my best.
“The Olympics were a very good experience for me. I won a lot of tournaments to get there and that road has led me to this moment.
“I met Richard Schaefer at the Olympics and that’s what led to me signing with Ringstar. I’m very happy to be with Richard and I’m excited for this first step.
“I want to start making my mark in the welterweight division. This is a division with big stars that I’d love to face one day.
“I never thought I would live in Hollywood, but here I am and I love Los Angeles.”
LINDOLFO DELGADO
“I had an awesome experience in the Olympics and it gave me a lot of confidence heading into my pro career. I’m excited to finally be able to enter the ring and I hope all of us Olympians give spectacular performances.
“It’s an honor to be turning pro on this same card with my Mexican teammate, Misael Rodriguez. I’m very happy for Karlos and Eimantas too and I look forward to being on more shows with them.
“I can’t wait to compete and show off my talent to all the fans. I’m going to keep improving my skills and I believe one day I’ll be able to become another Mexican world champion.
“Signing with Ringstar was the best choice that I could have made and I think there will be a lot of success for Ringstar and for me. This will be a great first step.”
RICHARD SCHAEFER, Voorzitter & CEO van Ringstar Sports
“With Karlos Balderas you have someone with the skills in the ring, the personality and the character outside of the ring as well. The combination of all of this will ultimately, make him the new face of the sport.
“There always has to be somebody who carries the Southern California boxing scene. Right now there is a void. I see Karlos very quickly becoming the King of L.A. and become a star in the sport.
“This will be a big night for Mexican boxing. Both Misael and Lindolfo have a lot of discipline and worked very hard to earn the opportunity to represent their country and they will bring that work ethic into the pros.
“Lindolfo Delgado is the ‘Pretty Boy’ and I expect him to bring a lot of female fans, while Misael is the first Mexican boxer in 16 jaar to bring a medal back from the Olympics, which I think is very significant.
“Freddie told me that the only other time he saw someone walk through the door with as much natural talent as Stanionis, is when Manny Pacquiao came through that door.
“I’m excited for opening night on April 9. It’s the beginning of the next generation of stars. To see them all in one night is going to be very special.”
FREDDIE ROACH, Stanionis’ Trainer
“This is a great show for the future of boxing. You have four talented Olympians on this show. I can’t wait for Stanionis to show his skills to the world.
“Stanionis sparred with five of Miguel Cotto’s sparring partners and he knocked down three of them if that tells you anything about his power.
“I just want him to go out there and have some fun and do his job. We’re not going to go out there looking for a first round knockout, but if it comes, that’s a bonus. We’re going to show our skills and win every minute of every round.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Rodriguez’s Trainer
“I’ve been working with Misael for about three months after Abner brought him to me. With Mexico behind him and winning a bronze medal, that’s huge already. We have a game plan with this kid that we’re going to execute.
“Misael was only on the Mexican team for two years. He was the least experienced member of the team. He’s going to get a lot of experience while fighting as a pro.
“We’re going to keep him busy and definitely want him fighting in Mexico. He’s going to keep gaining more confidence each time he enters the ring.”
Abner Mares, Rodriguez’s Manager
“I just wanted to help out Misael on the business side of the sport and that’s why I got involved in his career. I brought him to Robert’s gym to spar and everyone saw that he has a lot of skills.
“Being a bronze medalist from Mexico is a big thing to bring into the pros and I think it’s something the Mexican fans can get behind. Misael has room to grow but I believe the skills are there to be a world champion.
“I’m hoping to use my experience and my relationships to get him the right fights and put him in a position to reach his full potential.”

At last year’s Rio games, the 22-year-old Rodriguez overcame incredible odds to win the first Olympic boxing medal for Mexico since Christian Bejerano in 2000. The Chihuahua native and his teammates had to resort to begging on public buses and streets in Mexico to raise money to compete in international boxing tournaments. He completed his road to the medal stand by defeating Egypt’s Hosam Bakr Abdin to clinch a medal in the middleweight division.
Born in Germany, where his former boxer father was stationed in the military, Powell IVdedicated himself to boxing for good when his family moved back to the U.S. in 2011.

The 22-year-old would eventually capture gold at the 2016 American Olympic Qualification and earn his trip to Rio. Born in Linares but training in Tijuana, Delgado compiled a 139-15 amateur record that included a victory over former world champion Amnat Ruenroeng.
The 27-year-old Marroquin won zijn eerste 19 pro fights after a stellar amateur career that culminated in a runner-up performance in the 2007 U.S. Olympische trials.
