I'W RYDDHAU AR UNWAITH

Philadelphia, PA (Tachwedd 29, 2017) – Buont yn ymladd fel amaturiaid, ac mae'r ddau yn cael eu hystyried ymhlith y pwysau canol gwych gorau yn y ddinas.
Mae hyn Dydd Gwener nos, Mae Brandon Robinson a Christopher Brooker yn cyfarfod fel gweithwyr proffesiynol a allai ffurfio pwl o gyd-nodwedd ffrwydrol o 12 cerdyn ymladd yn y

2300 Arena yn Philadelphia.
Mae'r ornest wyth rownd ar gyfer teitl UBF All-Americas.
Mae'r sioe wedi'i llwytho yn cael ei hyrwyddo, fy King's Promotions.
Bydd y prif ddigwyddiad pwll Tyrone Brunson (25-6-2, 23 Kos) erbyn Woods Manny (16-6-1, 6 Kos) o St Petersburg, Florida mewn pwl pwysau canol iau wedi'i drefnu ar gyfer deg rownd.
“Mae hyfforddiant wedi bod yn wych. Dyma'r gwersyll gorau i mi ei gael ers troi dwylo proffesiynol i lawr,” meddai Robinson.
Er y gallai hyn fod yn frwydr arloesol ar gyfer 29 Robinson oed, Mae wedi bod yn edrych ar Brooker yn ddim gwahanol nag unrhyw elyn blaenorol.
“Rwy'n edrych ar bob ymladd fel ymladd mawr. Rwy'n gweld pob ymladd fel pe bawn yn ymladd yn erbyn Canelo neu Golovkin, felly rwy'n cael fy hunan yn y siâp gorau y gallaf fod.”
Gan eu bod yn yr un ddinas, y mae yr hanes crybwylledig rhwng y ddau ymladdwr.
“Buom yn ymladd fel amaturiaid, ac enillais y frwydr honno. Gan fod y, rydym wedi sparred cwpl o weithiau, ac y mae hyny wedi rhoddi adroddiad mawr ysgoi arno, a gadewch i ni ddweud fy mod yn teimlo'n gyffyrddus iawn yn y frwydr hon.”
Nid yw ymladd yn erbyn ymladdwr Philly arall yn ddim byd newydd i Robinson gan ei fod eisoes â buddugoliaeth dros Lamont McLaughlin.
“Rwyf wedi bod trwy hyn, ac y mae y math yma o ymladdfeydd yn dwyn allan y goreu o honof, a chyda buddugoliaethar ddydd Gwener, bydd hyn yn agor llawer o ddrysau i mi nad oeddwn byth yn disgwyl iddynt gael eu hagor. Rwy'n edrych am berfformiad cyflawn, Bydd y cefnogwyr yn gweld pŵer yn y ddwy law, crefftusrwydd, cadfridog ffoniwch a chalon enfawr. Hoffwn ddiolch i King’s Promotions, ac rydw i'n edrych i fynd â theitl Pwysau Canol Mawr All-Americas UBF adref.”
Ar gyfer y 26 Brooker oed, mae wedi bod yma o'r blaen ond mae am ddod yn ôl yn y golofn fuddugoliaeth ar ôl colli i bwysau Ysgafn Trwm heb ei drechu Ahmed Elbiali mewn gornest a gymerodd ar fyr rybudd. 18 Gorffennaf.
“Cyrhaeddais yn iawn yn ôl yn y gampfa ar ôl y frwydr honno. Rwyf wedi bod yn gweithio i 12 wythnosau. Mae gen i hyfforddwr personol newydd Jermaine Clark a fy hyfforddwr newydd Octavio Pineda,” meddai Brooker.
Nid yw Brooker yn credu bod y golled amatur i Robinson yn golygu dim byd nos Wener.
“Ie, nid yw'n golygu dim. Hon oedd fy nhrydedd frwydr amatur. Roedd y sesiynau sparring yn dda. Fe wnes i eu trin fel fy mod i eisiau dial am golli iddo, ac rwy'n hyderus iawn ar ôl y sesiynau hynny. Mae'r frwydr hon i mi yn ymwneud â chael y gwregys hwn . Bydd pobl yn fy ngweld i'n ei orweithio ac yn rhagori arno.”
Mae Brooker wedi gwneud ei enw trwy'r cylchoedd bocsio gyda'i barodrwydd i ymladd a threchu unrhyw un unrhyw bryd. Ceir tystiolaeth o hynny gan ei fuddugoliaethau dros Leo Hall, John Magda, Antowyan Aikens a Gabriel Pham. Camodd Brooker i'r adwy hefyd i wynebu Elbiali, Ronald Gavril a Ronald Ellis, a daeth yn ffefryn ar deledu cenedlaethol oherwydd ei steil hoelion wyth.
“Dim ond boi arall o fy mlaen yw Robinson. Roeddwn i mewn ac yn trechu diffoddwyr llawer mwy profiadol nag ef. Nid oes ganddo ddim byd na welais i yn y fodrwy. Nid wyf yn edrych heibio iddo, Rwy'n edrych trwyddo. Roeddwn i'n curo Gavril cyn i'r ymladd gael ei atal yn anghyfiawn. Prin y collodd mewn ymgais am deitl byd a nawr mae'n cael ail-gyfateb ag ef, felly mae hynny'n dangos pa lefel ydw i arni. Yr wyf am y rematch hwnnw ynteu (Pencampwr CLlC) David Benevidez.”
“Rwy'n gwerthfawrogi King's Boxing ac mae'n anrhydedd i mi ymladd am wregys arall. Rwy'n gwerthfawrogi Brandon am lofnodi'r contract. Dydd Gwener mae nos yn frwydr fawr i mi, fy nheulu a fy holl gefnogwyr.

On the strength and significance of these two victories, Sosa led the pack among all other Philly-based boxers, and earned the biggest award at the 10th Annual Briscoe Awards, which will be presented on Sunday, Hydref 15, 2017, at Xfinity Live! Philadelphia, 1:00 PM.
