He also pays a visit to world-renowned sports nutritionist expert Victor Conte’s SNAC facility where he simulates high-altitude workouts.

In the new year, Haney only hopes to build his boxing skills, as well as his brand. “I want to go down as a multi-divisional world champion. Undisputed. I want to go down with the greats. I want my name to be mentioned with the best. My last year was big. A lot of people didn’t know me, and now they know me. It’s only going to get bigger in 2019. I will be fighting for a world title.”

Live On SHOWTIME® At 10 p.m. ET/PT From StageWorks Of Louisiana In Shreveport

PHILADELPHIA, Penn. / ORANGE Calif.(Jan. 8, 2019) – Unbeaten featherweight prospectRuben Villa (14-0, 5 KOs) takes the next step in what has become a promising young career when he makes his national television debut thisFreitagin a co-featured fight of a ShoBox: Die neue Generationtriple

The eight-round bout takes place fromStageWorks  of Louisiana in the southern U.S. city of Shreveport. Coverage airs live onSHOW TIMEbeginnend an10 p.m. ET / PT.

Villa, a southpaw who turned 21 late last year, faces ColombianRuben cervera (10-0, 9 PREISE), who will be stepping up from super bantamweight to fight the former two-time Golden Gloves winner from Salinas, Calif.

“It’s an exciting opportunity to fight under the bright lights,” sagte Villa, who is co-promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing. “This is what all boxers plan for – to be showcased on a national platform. The focus will stay the same. I’m going to be aggressive and put my stamp on the fight. I’m looking forward to delivering a memorable performance.”

Villa is fighting a largely unknown talent in Cervera. He boasts an impressive record, but it has been built against marginal opposition. Villa, who started boxing at age five, comes from an outstanding amateur pedigree and has seen advanced styles in sparring sessions since turning professional in 2016.

“There’s not much video on him, but we know he likes to load up for big punches so we’ll be aware of that,” Villa said. “I’ll play it smart the first couple of rounds and see what he’s made of.”

The match up figures to provide a test for Villa in the sense that a lightly scouted fighter makes for a dangerous opponent.

“I’m just going to fight my fight,” Villa continued. “I’ll use my footwork to keep him off balance and get him tired. I can pressure him with my hand speed and land punches from angles that he won’t see coming.”

The event is promoted byDevin Haney Promotions undBishop Promotions LLC, in Assoziation mitBanner Promotions undThompson Boxing. Tickets, ab $30, are on sale now and available atwww.akafights.com.

“Trainingslager war fantastisch. Ich starte die ersten zwei Wochen immer in Las Vegas. Dann ging ich in die Bay Area, um mit Victor Conte vier Wochen lang in der SNAC-Einrichtung zu trainieren. Ich habe viele Runden Sparring mit Mario Barrios gemacht, unter anderem auch in Virgil Hunters Fitnessstudio. Jetzt, Ich bin zurück in Las Vegas mit meinem Kraft- und Konditionstrainer Reggie. Wir arbeiten hart, und ich werde in Bestform sein, wenn ich am 11. Januar in den Ring steige.”

“Devin beeindruckt mich immer wieder mit seiner Arbeitsmoral und seinem Engagement für den Spielplan. Jeden Tag im Fitnessstudio arbeitet er an den kleinen Dingen, die einen Kämpfer großartig machen. Devin hat seit seinem Profidebüt einen langen Weg zurückgelegt. Als er bei SHOWTIME anfing zu kämpfen, er hat sein Spiel wirklich gesteigert. Er ist ein geborener Kämpfer und ein verdammt guter Entertainer.”

Bei der Auswahl seiner Gegner:“Wir versuchen immer, ihn im Wettbewerb zu verbessern. Das ist ein großer Kampf für uns und wir wissen, womit wir es zu tun haben. Dies sind die Art von Kämpfen, die ihn auf die nächste Stufe bringen werden.”

Zur Landschaft der Leichtbausparte:“Die leichte Division ist gestapelt und gehört zu den besten im Boxen. [Vasiliy] Lomachenko und [Mikey] Garcia gelten als Pfund-für-Pfund-Top 10. Die jungen Jungs sind auch sehr talentiert und um den Leichtgewichts-Titel zu dieser Zeit zu halten, muss man ein böser Junge sein. Devin marschiert in der Rangliste nach oben und hoffentlich bis Ende des Jahres, wir bekommen unseren Schuss, aber zuerst müssen wir Geschäfte gegen Xolisani Ndongeni abwickeln.” # # #

Ruben Villa Aims to Stay Unbeaten on Friday Night

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

PHILADELPHIA, PENN. / ORANGE, Calif. (August. 22, 2018) – For the third time in his young career, Federgewicht Ruben Villa (12-0, 5 KOs) faces a well experienced veteran looking to upend his hot start.

 

 

 

 

 

Villa, die gedreht 21 im April, headlines Thompson Boxing’s “Locked n’ Geladen” event against Jose Santos Gonzalez (23-6, 13 KOs) of Mexico this Friday night from Omega Products International in Corona, Calif.

 

 

 

 

 

Gonzalez is no stranger to big fights, having suffered defeats against current bantamweight world champion Zolani Tete, and unbeaten contender Duke Micah. The southpaw Villa, despite his young age, is more than ready to face this challenge.

 

 

 

 

 

“Even though I’m young, I saw a lot of styles in the amateurs and even now as a professional I spar with a lot of top quality boxers,” sagte Villa, who is a former back-to-back National Golden Gloves champion. “Gonzalez might have the big fight experience working for him, but I know how to beat him in a convincing way.”

 

 

 

 

 

Villa has certainly gotten off to an impressive start since hitting the paid ranks two years ago. In his seven fights that have gone the distance, Villa has lost only one round on a single scorecard. He boasts an excellent combination of size and speed, plus a defensive acumen far ahead of most prospects his age.

 

 

 

 

 

“I feel like my development as a complete boxer has taken a big jump this year,” sagte Villa, who is managed by Danny Zamora. “I’m able to see things a lot faster and that opens up different angles and combinations.”

 

 

 

 

 

Villa, who resides in Salinas, Calif. and is trained by Max Garcia, will fight for the fourth time this year after earning six wins last year. He credits the consistent activity for his fast rising development.

 

 

 

 

 

“It’s real important for young fighters like myself to stay as active as possible in the early years,” Villa said. “High level sparring is great, but it doesn’t replicate the real thing. We have all this protective gear and we wear big gloves. It just feels different. That’s why I’m extremely thankful to my promoters for keeping me as active as I’ve been.”

 

 

 

Villa is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.

 

 

 

All fights will be live streamed on TB Presents: Locked n’ Loaded via Thompson Boxing Facebook page and ThompsonBoxing.com.

 

 

 

The livestream starts at 8:00 p.m. PT / 11:00 p.m. ET with Beto Duran as the blow-by-blow announcer and Steve Kim providing expert, color commentary.

Ruben Villa Returns to Action Aug. 24 from Omega Products in Corona, SOWIE

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

Philadelphia, Penn.. Orange, als. (August. 14, 2018) – Ruben Villa (12-0, 5 KOs), one of the rising talents in the featherweight division, takes to the ring for the fourth time this year on Freitag, August. 24 von Omega Products International in Corona, Calif.

 

 

 

The southpaw from Salinas, Calif. battles well tested veteran Jose Santos Gonzalez (23-6, 13 KOs) of Mexico in the “Locked n’ Geladen” 8-Runde Hauptereignis.

 

 

 

Villa, 21, has fought veterans before, specifically Ernesto Guerrero and German Meraz. The seasoned Gonzalez poses a threat in the sense that he’s been in the ring against current bantamweight title holder Zolani Tete, and unbeaten contender Duke Micah.

 

 

 

“These are the types of fights that help you grow into a better fighter,” sagte Villa, who is managed by Danny Zamora. “We have a smart game plan in place. I’m naturally bigger than him so we’ll use that to our advantage.”

 

 

 

Villa, a two-time national Golden Gloves champion, is coming off an impressive sixth round knockout of Ricardo Lopez in June. The talented featherweight showed off his finishing ability by out boxing Lopez until the knockout moment presented itself.

 

 

 

“I was landing solid punches in every round,” remarked Villa after the fight. “I knew I would be able to take him out. I wore him down and in the sixth, I just let me hands go and I caught him with a lot of heavy punches.”

 

 

 

Villa is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.

 

 

 

All fights will be live streamed on TB Presents: Locked n’ Loaded via Thompson Boxing Facebook page and ThompsonBoxing.com.

 

 

 

The livestream starts at 8:00 p.m. PT / 11:00 p.m. ET with Beto Duran as the blow-by-blow announcer and Steve Kim providing expert, color commentary.
