Haney vs. Ndongeni

Петак, Јан. 11 Live onСХОВТИМЕ®From StageWorks Of Louisiana in Shreveport

ШТА: Devin Haney will kick off the 2019 boxing year headlining onСхоБок: Нова генерација for the third time in his young career when he takes on fellow unbeaten Xolisani Ndongeni in a 10-round lightweight main event this Friday, Јануар 11 у 10 п.м. ET/PT live on SHOWTIME from StageWorks of Louisiana in Shreveport.

The supremely confident Haney of Las Vegas has everything going for him. In November he turned 20 година стар, and is one of the youngest promoters in boxing history leading Devin Haney Promotions. SHOWTIME Sports has released a “Day in Camp” video feature and you quickly see why Haney is ONE OF BOXING’S BRIGHTEST YOUNG STARS.

Haney’s Bay Area training day begins at the ocean, where he says he sleeps and breathes better than when he’s in Las Vegas. Haney spars at famed trainer Virgil Hunter and former champion Andre Ward’s gym in Hayward, Цалиф., close to Haney’s childhood home in Oakland. 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.”

Ruben Villa Defends Unbeaten Record This Friday On ShoBox: Нова генерација

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

ПХИЛАДЕЛПХИА, Пен. / ORANGE Calif.(Јан. 8, 2019) – Unbeaten featherweight prospectRuben Villa (14-0, 5 КОс) takes the next step in what has become a promising young career when he makes his national television debut thisПетакin a co-featured fight of a СхоБок: Нова генерацијатриплехеадер

The eight-round bout takes place fromStageWorks  of Louisiana in the southern U.S. city of Shreveport. Coverage airs live onСХОВТИМЕса почетком у10 п.м. ET/PT.

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

“It’s an exciting opportunity to fight under the bright lights,” said 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 иBishop Promotions LLC, у сарадњи саБанер Промоције иТомпсон Бокс. Улазнице, са почетком у $30, are on sale now and available atwww.akafights.com.

ЛАС ВЕГАС (Децембар 28, 2018) – Heralded undefeated lightweight contender Devin Haney worked out for the media Thursday at Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas ahead of his СхоБок: Нова генерација main-event bout Friday, Јан. 11 у 10 п.м. ET/PT live on SHOWTIME®.

The 20-year old Bay Area native and current Las Vegas resident Haney (20-0, 13 КОс), a seven-time national junior amateur champion, will headline on the popular up-and-coming prospect series СхоБок for the third time of his young career when he takes on fellow unbeaten Xolisani Ndongeni (25-0, 13 КОс) in a 10-round main event taking place at StageWorks of Louisiana in Shreveport.

У СхоБок ко-функција, featherweight prospect Ruben Villa (14-0, 5 КОс) will take on Ruben Cervera (10-0, 9 КОс) у осам кола дуелу. The telecast will open with young heavyweights Frank Sanchez Faure (10-0, 8 КОс) and Willie Jake Jr. (8-1-1, 2 КОс) squaring off in another eight-round bout. Here is what Haney and his father and trainer Bill Haney had to say:


DEVIN HANEY On his recent training camp:

“Тренинг камп је био фантастичан. I always start in Las Vegas for the first two weeks. I then went to the Bay Area to train at the SNAC facility with Victor Conte for four weeks. I did a lot of rounds of sparring with Mario Barrios among others at Virgil Hunter’s gym as well. Odmah, I’m back in Las Vegas with my strength and conditioning coach Reggie. We are working hard, and I’ll be at my best when I step into the ring on Jan 11th.”

On facing South Africa’s undefeated Xolisani Ndongeni:“I know fighters from Africa always come to fight. Xolisani Ndongeni is no different. He’s very experienced and undefeated. Ndongeni has gone 12 rounds many times in his career. These are the type of fights I need to win impressively. I’m always looking to improve. Beating the tough South African will get me one step closer to a world title shot.”

On making his third appearance onСхоБок:
“Fighting on SHOWTIME’sСхоБок series has been amazing for my career. This is my third appearance on the series. It feels great to have a home to showcase my talent. Ndongeni will bring out the best in me. I’m ready to graduate to SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.”

On when he thinks he’ll be ready for a world title:
“I’ve climbed the rankings with good wins against Mason Menard and Juan Carlos Burgos. I’m rated in the top 10 у ВБА, ВБЦ, и ИБФ. I’m focused on Ndongeni and January 11th is my time to shine.”

BILL HANEY, Devin’s Father and Trainer
On the progression of his son Devin Haney:
“Devin always impresses me with his work ethic and commitment to the game plan. Every day in the gym he is working on the little things that makes a fighter great. Devin has come a long way since his pro debut. Once he started fighting on SHOWTIME, he’s really stepped up his game. He’s a natural born fighter and one hell of a good entertainer.”

On picking his opponents:“We always look to step him up in competition. This is a big fight for us and we know what we are up against. These are the type of fights that are going to take him to the next level.”

On the landscape of the lightweight division:“The lightweight division is stacked and is one of the best in boxing. [Vasiliy] Lomachenko and [Мајки] Garcia are considered pound-for-pound top 10. The young guys coming up are very talented as well and to hold the lightweight title at this time you got to be a bad boy. Devin is marching up the rankings and hopefully by the end of the year, we’ll get our shot, but first we must handle business against Xolisani Ndongeni.” # # #

Ruben Villa Aims to Stay Unbeaten on Friday Night

Оставите коментар

ПХИЛАДЕЛПХИА, PENN. / ORANGE, Калиф. (Август. 22, 2018) – For the third time in his young career, веома лака ствар Ruben Villa (12-0, 5 КОс) faces a well experienced veteran looking to upend his hot start.

 

 

 

 

 

Villa, који је претворио 21 у априлу, headlines Thompson Boxing’s “Locked n’ Loaded” event against Jose Santos Gonzalez (23-6, 13 КОс) of Mexico this Friday night from Omega Products International in Corona, Калиф.

 

 

 

 

 

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,” said 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,” said 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, Калиф. 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 п.м. ПТ / 11:00 п.м. 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, КАО ШТО СУ

Оставите коментар

Филаделфија, Пен.. Orange, као. (Август. 14, 2018) – Ruben Villa (12-0, 5 КОс), one of the rising talents in the featherweight division, takes to the ring for the fourth time this year on Петак, Август. 24 од Omega Products International in Corona, Калиф.

 

 

 

The southpaw from Salinas, Калиф. battles well tested veteran Jose Santos Gonzalez (23-6, 13 КОс) of Mexico in the “Locked n’ Loaded” 8-round main event.

 

 

 

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,” said 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 п.м. ПТ / 11:00 п.м. ET with Beto Duran as the blow-by-blow announcer and Steve Kim providing expert, color commentary.
