Mashantucket, Conn. (Juillet 23, 2016) – With a potential title shot on the line, Adam Lopez and Roman Reynoso fought to a 10-round draw in the main event of the 15-year anniversary telecast of ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération Vendredi sur Showtime® from Foxwoods Resort Casino.

 

In attendance ringside before the fight, newly crowned IBF Junior Featherweight World Champion Jonathan Guzman (22-0, 22 KOs) announced that he’d like fight the winner of Lopez-Reynoso, raising the stakes for this matchup of 122-pound prospects. While the fight was close and entertaining, analyste Steve Farhood, who has called all 219ShoBox telecasts, didn’t believe either fighter did enough to earn an immediate title shot against Guzman.

 

The fight looked like a toss-up heading into the 10e – with Lopez leading by just one connect after nine rounds – and the Ronnie Shields pupil came up with a huge final round rally. The undefeated prospect hurt Reynoso (18-1-2, 7 KOs) in the final seconds with a flurry of shots, forcing the Argentine spit out his mouthpiece to buy himself nearly 30 seconds of rest. Seemingly out on his feet, Reynoso somehow survived the onslaught without falling to the canvas before the final bell. Lopez (15-0-1, 7 KOs) out-landed Reynoso 34-21 ensemble et 34-20 in power shots in the final round, but it wasn’t enough to earn him the victory.

 

Judge Don Ackerman saw Lopez a 96-94 gagnant, while Bill Morande had it 97-93 Reynoso, and Peter Hary cast the deciding ballot at 95-95. All three judges scored the last round 10-9 pour Lopez. Had Reynoso fell to the canvas in the final seconds, la 10-8 round would have given Lopez the win.

 

« Ce fut un combat difficile. He didn’t want to engage,», A déclaré Lopez, who out-landed Reynoso 158-144 ensemble et 131-125 dans des coups de puissance. “He’s slick and experienced and a good fighter. I feel that this was my best performance on ShoBox. I have been working on new things with Ronnie Shields and it showed in there. I know I hurt him in the last round.

 

“The decision was bullshit. He could not hit me.”

 

“It was a close fight, but I feel I won,” Reynoso said. “He never hurt me. The only thing that surprised me is that he was more aggressive than in other fights. I hurt my hand from hitting him.”

 

Late replacement Jerry Odom knocked out previously once-beaten Julius Jackson with a vicious third round knockout (1:57) dans le ShoBoxco-métrage.

 

Jackson (19-2, 15 KOs), the son of former two-division world champion Julian “The Hawk” Jackson, was outworking Odom through two rounds, who took the fight 10-days notice after Ronaldo Ellis suffered a hand injury. That was until Washington, D.C.’s Odom (14-2-1, 13 KOs) clocked Jackson with a flush right counter shot with one minute left in the third, spelling the end for Jackson, who couldn’t beat the count and suffered his second consecutive knockout loss.

 

“I saw the right hand. I was throwing combinations and I saw the opening and landed a good shot,"Odom dit. “As opposed to the last couple fights, I am in a great place physically, mentalement et spirituellement. I have a great team around me. We are unbreakable.”

 

“He threw the punch at the right time and caught me,” Jackson said. “I was OK, but the referee stopped the fight. I felt up until that point, I was boxing well and winning every round.”

 

Rolando Chinea won a close, eight-round split decision victory over O’Shaquie Foster (10-2, 7 KOs) in a matchup of lightweights, marqué 79-73 (Chinea), 77-75 (Favoriser) et 78-74 (Chinea).

 

Chinea (13-1-1, 6 KOs) was the aggressor, dictating the tempo of the fight from the outset. And while most rounds were extremely close – closer than the relatively wide scorecards – Chinea’s activity was the difference. Chinea threw 733 poinçons totales, par rapport à 641 for Foster, and he edged Foster by nearly 150 coups de puissance (592-449).

 

“He is a hell of a fighter and it was fun to fight him,” said Chinea, who was largely able to minimize the jab, Foster’s best weapon. “Like I said before the fight, he could not take pressure. I brought the pressure. I blocked and slipped a lot of his punches. My will and desire to win outweighed his will to punch.

 

“He did not take my pressure well. I worked my shots well inside and that was a difference in the fight.”

 

Favoriser, who’s record fell to 10-2 avec 7 KOs, complained that he “had distractions and couldn’t focus.”

 

Dans le combat d'ouverture de la télédiffusion, Ian Green handed previously undefeated super welterweight prospect Khiary Gray the first loss of his career with a stunning second round TKO (2:50).

 

With former world champion and fellow Paterson, N.J., Kendall Holt in his corner, vert (10-1, 8 KOs) came from behind to floor Gray with a big right cross to the chin that sent him tumbling face-forward into the canvas. Gris, a local favorite from nearby Worchester, Massachusetts, tried to hold on with just 30 secondes dans la ronde, but he couldn’t make it to the break and was falling backward into the ropes when the referee halted the contest.

 

“I got him good, and I got him out of there,” said Green, who out-landed Gray 14-0 dans la dernière minute. “He got me good one time, but I kept my left hand up and hung in there. We’re going all the way up. This is just the start.”

 

Gris (13-1, 10 KOs), who was seemingly in control of the fight and rocking Green with ease, est devenu le 151st fighter to suffer his initial defeat on the prospect developmental series.

 

“He just caught me,” Gray said. “I don’t even know what punch it was. I didn’t even see it. I tried to hold on and waste some time, but I got caught again. I just need to get back to the gym and fix my mistakes. I’ll bounce back.”

 

Vendredi de four-fight telecast will re-air ce lundi à 10 p.m. ET/PT sur Showtime EXTREME.

CITATIONS FINALES:

ADAM LOPEZ:
“I’ve experienced and grown a lot over my last few fights. I’ve learned a lot about myself and overcame adversity. All my fights on ShoBox have been tough, but I’m hoping for a breakthrough victory vendredi to prove I’m ready to face a contender.

“Reynoso is a tough fighter. We know he swings for the fences. Because he’s from Argentina, a lot of people call him a little Marcos Maidana. He’s probably the toughest opponent so far, but we’re ready for whatever he brings.

“I’m back to training with Ronnie Shields. I was with Ronnie for my first five fights and it’s good to be back. Ronnie is working on my jab and helping improve my basic fundamentals.

“I want to win and look good doing it. If I get the KO, that’s great, but I’m not going to look for it. I don’t want to be on the canvas looking for it.

“We want to show that we’re ready for bigger and better fights. But we know we can’t look past this guy.”

ROMAN REYNOSO:
“This is the biggest fight of my career. Everything is motivating for me. I want the best for my family, and winning a fight like this can help me get there.

“We moved up to Montreal for training camp and we’ve improved a lot. We’ve developed defense and a better boxing style. We used to be about just coming forward and punching, but we’re working on our movement, our boxing skills.

“We are coming here to exploit Adam Lopez. We’re here to upset him.

“I know he has a big left hook, but we’re going to take that away. We know he has a height and reach advantage, but we like to fight wars. S'il veut une guerre, we’re prepared. If he wants to run, we’re prepared. We’ll see if he will be able to figure out how to beat me.

“I’m used to being the shorter fighter. It doesn’t bother me.

“I look up to (Marcos) Maidana, but he has his own style. I don’t try to mimic that.

“This is my first time moving down to 122 livres. In Argentina, it was hard to get fights at 122 – most of my fights were at 126 – but fighting at 122 is more natural for me. This is what we were looking for.

On Matias Carlos Adrian Rueda, who fights Oscar Valdez for the WBO Featherweight Championship Samedi:
“That’s the only boxer who has beaten me. We wish him the best. We were looking for the rematch, mais cela ne s'est pas produit. À l'avenir, it needs to happen.”

JERRY ODOM:
“I’ve been training all summer. Opportunities come and go. I was taught that when a window opens you have to jump in. That’s why we took this fight.

“We’re not thinking about his (Jackson’s) last fight. That isn’t going to dictate our game plan. We know the opportunities to knock him out are there, but we need to worry about our game plan.

“I’ve watched tape on him. He still has the same posture, he has no finesse. He’s a straight up type of fighter. Nothing we can’t handle.

“Records don’t mean anything. You look at my record and see I have two losses. That doesn’t mean anything, doesn’t define me. He better not be overlooking me because I have two losses. That would be a big mistake.”

JULIUS JACKSON:
“The loss made me hungrier. I just got hurt. He hit me and I just couldn’t recover.

“My team is confident I’m still a high-level fighter. We don’t just want opponents. We want guys that will test us.

“The change in opponents doesn’t affect us. We’re just trying to perfect ‘The Chef.’ We want to get in there and do what it takes to win.

“There’s definitely pressure. We know if I lose demain it will set me back even more. But we’re not thinking about that. We’re coming to win. This is an opportunity to erase my loss.

“Odom comes to fight. That’s what makes this an exciting fight. We’re both coming to fight.”

O’SHAQUIE FOSTER:
“Chinea is a one-punch puncher. He’s suitable to my style. We like the pressure he brings. We can break him down, break his will.

“I’m supposed to be here. The loss in my first fight on ShoBox was a fluke. I showed in my last ShoBox fight that I belong here.

“I don’t see anyone at lightweight that can beat me. Je suis seulement 22, but at this point next year we want to be considered a contender for a title shot.”

ROLANDO CHINEA:
“I’ve studied tape on him. He’s an accomplished fighter. But I know he doesn’t like pressure, and my style revolves around pressure. So he’s a tailor-made fighter for me.

“We’re going to do what we do best: apply pressure.

“This is my TV debut and I’m ready to make a statement. This is an opportunity that I need to take advantage of.

“We’ve done everything we can in the gym. We’re been sparring with top fighters in Philadelphia. Nous sommes prêts à aller.”

KHIARY GRAY:
“I’m more of a boxer than a KO guy. I have a lot of knockouts, but that’s not what I’m always looking for. I consider myself more of a boxer.

“I’ve always had late replacements in my fights, so that doesn’t give us a problem. I’ve seen clips of him, and we’re ready for him.

“Going 10 rounds was a good experience for me. It taught me that my conditioning was there. That I can go the distance if I need to.

“I switch to lefty when I have to. I can fight the whole fight lefty if I need to.

“I sparred with Edwin (Rodriguez) recently, sparred with Demetrius Andrade. It’s good work with those guys. I can hold my own in the gym with them.

“There’s pressure fighting on TV, but I feel comfortable. People are going to know me after this. They’ll know that I’m ready to be a contender in the 154-pound division.”

IAN GREEN:
“I’ve been in the gym since April. I was supposed to fight on Juillet 30, but this was a better opportunity and I jumped on it.

“We have Kendall Holt in our corner, and we hope to be the next fighter from Paterson to win a title.

“Gray is an aggressive guy, but my range and height is an advantage. I don’t think he’s faced anyone like me. He’s been touched a few times.

“Once you see me demain, you’ll see the real Ian Green.”

Barry Tompkins will call the ShoBox action from ringside with Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez will serve as expert analysts. Le producteur exécutif est Gordon Hall avec Rich Gaughan à la production et Rick Phillips à la direction.

In his other fights on ShoBox, Lopez won a (then personal-best) 10-round majority decision over DominicanEliecer Aquino (17-0-1) sur Juillet 17, 2015, and by second-round knockout over Pablo Cruz (11-0) sur Mars 13, 2015.

 

Regarding his upcoming fight against Reynoso, Lopez a dit, “Everything is good. I’m starting to turn up my sparring. I have switched trainers to Ronnie Shields à Houston. I see a lot of improvement since my last fight.

 

“Reynoso is a good fighter from Argentina. He is in Canada now, so I am sure he is getting good sparring there. He is kind of wild, but guys like that are hard to fight because you don’t know where the punches are coming from, but we will be prepared for anything.”

 

Born in Phoenix and raised in Los Angeles, Lopez moved to San Antonio at 15. Il est allé 125-23 in the amateurs and won six national championships before turning pro at 21 en Février 2012.

The 25-year-old Reynoso brings a 10-fight winning streak into his United States and ShoBox début.

Reynoso’s lone defeat came in his fourth fight.

 

“Everything is going well in training camp,’’ Reynoso said. “We know that Lopez is tall for 122 pounds and he has good hand speed. He has a good name and we will try to learn more in the next few weeks.

 

“This is a big opportunity for us and we will do our best. This is a big fight and we know we have to win. Avec une victoire, we would hope to get a world title opportunity.’’

 

Ronald Ellis vs. Julius Jackson: Eight-round middleweight bout

Ellis gets an immediate opportunity to regain his winning ways after taking a sizeable jump up in class and boxing an eight-round draw with hard-hitting Jerry Odom dans son Février. 19 ShoBox début. A spirited, close contest throughout was scored 78-74 pour Ellis et 76-76 un morceau. The draw snapped a four-fight-knockout streak for Ellis, who’s won all 10 of his knockouts inside two rounds (eight in the first) since turning pro in 2011.

 

“This is going to be another coming out party for me,’’ the 5-foot-11, 25-year-old Ellis said. “The last fight was a draw. I had some problems with my hand, but I’m back and this is a step for me. Hopefully he comes to fight. I hope he brings it 100 percent because I am bringing 200 pour cent.

 

“I am glad to be on ShoBox de nouveau. I showed the fans a little bit in my last fight. They can expect the same thing but a little bit more on Juillet 22.''

 

Jackson is making his second ShoBox Démarrer. In his debut – and initial go in the U.S. – the older brother of Jean and son of former two-division world champion Julian « The Hawk » Jackson registered two knockdowns en-route to a ninth-round TKO over Jonathan Nelson (19-2, 10 KOs) le déc. 20, 2014.

 

Much like Ellis, Jackson is also getting a quick-fix chance to redeem himself and get back on the winning track. Mais, unlike Ellis, Jackson perduhis most recent fight. His perfect record and 19-fight winning streak ended when he lost by second-round TKO to now top-rated super middleweight contender Jose Uzcategui dernier Octobre. 6.

 

“I’m looking to redeem myself and come out with a win,’’ said the 6-foot-2 Jackson, qui se tourne 29 sur Août. 1. “This is my second ShoBox fight and I’m excited to get back to let the world see my talent. I’m getting better, my training has been good. I expect to be in with another really good fighter. It should be a great fight.’’

 

Un 2008 Olympian for the Virgin Islands and a pro since January 2009, Jackson is fighting for the third time in a row in the U.S.

 

O’Shaquie Foster vs. Rolando Chinea: Eight-round featherweight bout

O'Shaquie (pronounced “oh-SHACK-ee”) Foster is making his third appearance on ShoBox. Dernier Février. 19, he began to live up to expectations when he rebounded from a sub-standard performance in his ShoBox début (an eight-round decision loss to Samuel Seah en Novembre 2015) to register a seventh-round TKO over previously undefeated Lavisas Williams (8-0-1).

 

Favoriser, 22, dropped southpaw Williams four times – in the second, troisième, quatrième et septième tours. Trois des renversements semblaient résulter d'une poussée, mais les gants de Williams ont touché la toile à chaque fois, alors ils sont entrés dans les livres comme des renversements. Après le dernier renversement au septième, le combat a été arrêté à 52 secondes dans la ronde.

 

“Everything is going good,'' Foster a déclaré. “I’ve been doing a lot of conditioning. I am in the best shape of my life. Chinea has a good jab and I know he will be in a good shape.

“Ever since I moved to Virginia to train, my conditioning, mentality and confidence has gone way up and that was the difference from my first fight to my last fight on ShoBox. Sur Juillet 22, I will be even that much better.’’

 

A highly decorated amateur standout, the 5-foot-8½ inch Foster advanced to the 2012 U.S.. Olympic Trials where he lost to unbeaten pro prospect, Joseph "Jo-Jo" Diaz.
