Бокачика срещу. Reyes – 10-Round Welterweight Main Event Bout

Bocachica returns for his second consecutiveShoBox appearance as the 22-year-old Detroit native overpowered Puerto Rico’s Nicklaus Flaz from the start earning a first-round TKO at 2:43 of round one in October. Bocachica is a four-year pro who began boxing at age eight. He won four consecutive Ringside Championships (2011-14), the National PAL Championships and the 2015 Detroit Golden Gloves. He boasts an amateur record of 55-5. He is trained by his father, Nelson Figueroa.

After the last appearance onShoBox, I felt like that was the performance that I needed,” Bochachia said. “I picked Mark Reyes out myself because I wanted better competition and he is 14-0. I want to put a statement out to all of the fighters in the 147-pound division. A win gets me closer to my dreams. I am fighting better opposition. It shows that Janelson is the truth, and I am coming for everyone in the welterweight division. I am not worrying about anything.

Reyes is coming off of a first-round knockout of Diego Perez on November 21, in his hometown of Tampa. Reyes was a successful amateur winning the PAL National Tournament in 2012, as well as the Junior Olympics and Ringside Tournament. He also won two National tournaments competing for Puerto Rico: the 2015 Frankie Larvae National Championships and 2016 Cheo Aponte National Championships.

Тренировъчният лагер вървеше отлично и ще бъда готов.”

Шишкин срещу. Агбеко - 10 рунд в супер средна категория

Преди това Шишкин се е бил два пътиShoBox печелейки впечатляващи победи над Ulises Sierra и DeAndre Ware. Стюард отправи ъгъла на Шишкин за битката със Сиера, но ангажиментът на Стюард към шампиона в тежка категория Тайсън Фюри не е позволил на двамата да тренират изключително заедно. Наскоро Шишкин работи с Л. Дж. Harrison. В последната си битка през август 20, той записа технически нокаут от деветия рунд на Оскар Риохас.

Любопитен съм как това ще ми повлияе в схватката. Знам, че тази битка ме поставя само на една крачка по-близо до целта ми да стана световен шампион. "

„Обучението върви чудесно и ние тренираме от известно време, така че просто удвояваме няколко неща и също така прецизираме борбата,- каза Агбеко. „Знам, че опонентът ми има богат аматьорски опит и стил, който отразява откъде е в Русия. Очаквам агресивен, но добре пресметнат боец. Ще спечеля тази битка, защото знам, че я искам повече и, като резултат, са положили повече усилия в подготовката. Моите превъзходни боксови умения, съчетани с желание и усилия, ще го направят. "

Воин срещу. Монтоя - Осем кръг лек двубой

Борбата от Хюстън, Texas, Guerrero е голям шанс, който спечели тясно оспорван плугфест с решение на мнозинството над Хосе Ангуло в последнияShoBox излъчване преди пандемията на COVID-19 затвори спортния свят за няколко месеца през март 2020. Преди тази победа, Гереро беше спрял трима поредни противници, включително нокаута за втори кръг на Дарнел Джайлс, Jr. през януари 2020. Известен аматьор, който спечели две национални титли за юноши, 22-годишният „Свинско месо“ е направил спаринг със световните шампиони Майки Гарсия и Брандън Риос в известната боксова академия Гарсия в Калифорния.

„Не знам нищо за опонента си, но гледах един негов клип и това е всичко, което трябваше да видя, за да разбера, че ще слезе,- каза Гереро. „Тази битка ще означава много за мен, защото ще покаже на света, че съм истинската сделка. Ще спечеля тази битка за кариерата и семейството си. "

26-годишната Монтоя, на Долна Калифорния, Мексико, ще дебютира в САЩ на февруари 17 и ще се бие извън родния си Мексико само за втори път. След отпадането на втория си професионален конкурс, Монтоя се събра, за да остане непобеден в следващия си 18 пристъпи преди пътуване до Русия през ноември 2019 да поеме непобедената перспектива Мохамедхуджа Якубов, където загуби решение от 12 кръга. Монтоя отскочи, за да отбележи втория рунд на TKO над Рейес Дейвид Лопес, последния му аут през октомври, and also owns an impressive victory over then-undefeated prospect Luis Alberto Lopez Vargas.

“Fighting in the U.S. and on SHOWTIME has always been my dream and I can’t wait for February 17 to show what I can do,- каза Монтоя. “I’ve never worked or trained as hard for a fight as I have for this one. I’ve seen my opponent and know he will bring the action just like his last fight. He will be tough, but I’m as ready for this as I’ve ever been.”

Kerefov vs. Espana – Eight-Round Middleweight Bout

В 2019, Kerefov turned in five impressive victories in Russia prior to his United States debut at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit in August 2020, where he turned in a dominating unanimous decision victory over Calvin Metcalf in a middleweight bout.

“I am in the middle of a great training camp with trainer SugarHill Steward in Florida,” Kerefov said. “I look forward to showing the boxing fans that I am the new face of the middleweight division.”

The 31-year-old southpaw, Espana, will be fighting for the first time in the United States as 14 на неговата 16 professional bouts have taken place in Venezuela. The power-punching Espana’s only career loss was to Dervin Colina in 2019 и 14 на неговата 15 victories have come via knockout. През декември, he TKO’d Leonard Carrillo in his last fight.

„Това е чудесна възможност за мен да се появя в САЩ“, каза Еспана. „Знам много малко за опонента си, но това изобщо не ме притеснява. Винаги тренирам и съм готов да измина дистанцията или по-малко. Победата ще ме приближи до световна титла. "

Международната боксова зала на известността Бари Томпкинс ще извика екшъна от ринга заедно с колегата от Залата на славата и историка на бокса Стив Фардъти и бившият световен шампион Раул Маркес, служещи като експертни анализатори.

“I’m very pleased with the way Mark and Willian performed,” said Jody Caliguire of Fire Fist Boxing Promotions. “Mark was on his way to a stoppage victory and I truly believe his opponent was looking to pick up a disqualification win by adding some theatrics after being punched on the thigh.

Connor looked fantastic and we believe the sky is the limit for him. Марк Рейес-младши. Is a great young talent as well and Ivan Dychko is a force to be reckoned with.

Tampa, FL (Юни 13, 2018) – When unbeaten middleweight Connor Coyle entered the paid ranks, he was considered one of Ireland’s prized prospects. The Derry native medaled at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and generated a lot of interest from promoters across the globe.

 

 

 

Coyle ultimately signed with Tampa, FL based Fire Fist Promotions and five of his seven professional bouts took place in the Tampa region. To ensure he’s at his absolute best when entering the squared circle, Coyle treks more than 4000 miles from Ireland to Tampa for training camp.

 

 

 

While his stateside training camps play an integral role in Coyle’s improvement, it comes with major sacrifices.

 

 

 

“The hardest part is having to get up and leave my little girl for each camp,” Coyle said of training in Tampa while his 2-year-old daughter remains in Ireland. “I’ve been doing this since she was born and it’s hard because she doesn’t understand why.”

 

 

 

The 7-0 Coyle’s next challenge comes Saturday, Юни 16 when he meets rival Danny Pastrana of Orlando, FL in a ten round contest for the NBA Intercontinental middleweight title at the Coliseum in St Petersburg, FL.

 

 

 

Pastrana has a modest 6-4 Запис с 1 KO but has faced good competition. He’s had a full training camp leading up to June 16 and Coyle’s expecting the confident Pastrana to be at his best.

 

 

 

“I’ve put in a full training camp and the work has been done in the gym. Training so far from home is a struggle with my daughter back in Ireland but it also inspires me. I’ll be ready for whatever Danny Pastrana brings Saturday night and plan to return to Ireland with the NBA championship.”

 

 

 

The card is promoted by Fire Fist Promotions in association with Money Round Boxing. A limited number of tickets are available at www1.ticketmaster.com/event/0D00548D9F1C967E.

 

 

 

Fans can also enjoy the fight live from anywhere in the world starting at 7 pm ET at Moneyroundboxing.com. The telecast will feature commentary by Boxing Hall of Famer Winky Wright.

 

 

 

В съвместно черта мач от вечерта, two-time Olympic bronze medalist Ivan Dychko, 5-0 (5 Нокаута), of Kissimmee, FL by way of Kazakhstan challenges former title contender Mike Marrone, 21-8 (15 Нокаута), of Vero Beach, FL. The 6’9 Dychko is regarded by many as a future heavyweight champion.

 

 

 

Welterweight phenom Mark Reyes Jr. squares off against experienced Puerto Rican Javier Garcia, 8-16-1 (3 Нокаута) в шест кръгъл. Living and fighting out of Tampa, Reyes Jr, 6-0 (4 Нокаута), was a top amateur and has a huge following. Against Reyes, Garcia’s facing his 12тата unbeaten foe.

 

 

 

Featherweight crowd pleaser Jose “Lil Pacquiao” Resendiz, 5-1 (3 Нокаута) Св. Petersburg meets Vincent Jennings of Grand Rapids, MI in a six round affair. Resendiz is a favorite in the Sunshine State, fighting a Pacquiao-esque style that puts fans at the edge of their seats. Jennings, 5-5-1 (4 Нокаута), fought all across the country and has a decision win over previously unbeaten Dennis Galarza.

 

 

 

The undercard features the career finale of St. Petersburg’s Ali Terah, junior welterweight Joseph Fernandez, heavyweight Rodriguez Cade and bantamweight Rufat Huseynov in separate bouts.

 

 

 

The cruiserweight contest featuring Nicholas Iannuzzi and Vincent Miranda was cancelled due to an injury suffered by Iannuzzi in training.
