OXON HILL, MD. (Avril 15, 2017) - Invaincu WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Titlist Dmitry Bivol a renversé Samuel Clarkson trois fois en route vers un TKO de quatrième ronde Vendredi dans l'événement principal deShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération en direct sur SHOWTIME depuis MGM National Harbour.

 

Buffle (10-0, 8 KOs) est désormais le challenger obligatoire pour WBA (régulier) Nathan Cleverly, champion du monde des poids lourds légers.

 

Bivol a traqué Clarkson depuis la cloche d'ouverture. L'ancien amateur russe vedette a terrassé Clarkson en ouverture 30 secondes avec une série de tirs, puis l'a renversé une minute plus tard avec une droite droite. Clarkson (19-4, 12 KOs) a survécu à la manche mais n'a pas bien répondu aux problèmes et n'a pas pu perturber le rythme et l'incroyable précision de Bivol.

 

Clarkson a été renversé pour la troisième fois quand il a semblé entrer dans une grande droite au milieu de la quatrième, obligeant l'arbitre Harvey Dock à interrompre le concours à 1:40 alors que Clarkson luttait pour se relever. Bivol a atterri 46 pour cent de ses coups puissants sur les quatre rounds par rapport à seulement 17 pour cent pour Clarkson.

 

«Je pensais que je finirais avec lui au premier tour, mais je pense que c'était mieux que ça passe à quatre rounds parce que les fans ont pu voir comment je me bats,”A déclaré Bivol.

 

«Je suis définitivement prêt pour mon titre contre (Nathan) Intelligemment dans mon prochain combat. Je suis prêt. "

 

Clarkson était entré dans le ShoBox Main Event sur une séquence de neuf victoires consécutives.

 

“Il m'a attrapé avec un bon coup de corps pour le premier renversement,”A déclaré Clarkson. «Je pensais que j'étais de retour dans le combat aux deuxième et troisième tours. Au quatrième tour, je me suis fait prendre, J'ai trébuché et mon équilibre était déséquilibré.”

 

L'espoir des poids welters Malik Hawkins a conservé son record invaincu avec un TKO dominant au deuxième tour de Carlos Soto précédemment invaincu dans le ShoBox co-métrage.

 

Hawkins (11-0, 8 KOs) a attaqué tôt et a pratiquement fermé l’œil gauche de Soto à la fin du premier tour. Soto a pris un genou dans les dernières secondes du tour mais a survécu, bien que sa vision était clairement altérée.

 

Hawkins a débarqué Soto 39-15 dans la seconde, y compris 15-1 dans la dernière minute. Le médecin du ring a statué que Soto (13-1-2, 7 KOs) ne pouvait plus voir de son œil gauche après le deuxième tour et a quitté le concours.

 

“Travail acharné et dévouement. J'ai eu un camp fort et je crois en mon équipe,»A déclaré Hawkins, qui est formé par Calvin Ford de Baltimore et est un compagnon stable de la Championne IBF Junior Lightweight Gervonta Davis. «Ce qui le rend encore plus spécial, c'est la bénédiction de mon premier-né.”

 

“Je veux crier à mon adversaire. Il était grand, il était fort, il était durable et il était invaincu.”

 

Soto est devenu le 163 combattant pour subir sa première défaite sur ShoBox.

 

Dans un match de super poids coq invaincus dans le combat d'ouverture de la ShoBox émission de télévision, Glenn Dezurn a devancé de peu Leroy Davila pour donner à ce dernier sa première défaite en carrière dans un va-et-vient marqué 78-74 par les trois juges.

 

Le natif de Baltimore Dezurn (9-0, 6 KOs) semblait lancer les coups les plus durs et était plus efficace en se battant à l'intérieur contre Davila (5-1, 3 KOs), qui était naturellement le plus petit des deux. Alors que Dezurn était le combattant le plus actif - il a jeté presque 100 plus de coups de poing au cours du combat de huit tours - les tours finaux ont été extrêmement difficiles à marquer car les combattants ont atterri en huit coups au total au cours des trois derniers tours.

 

“Je suis entré dans le combat avec les meilleurs entraîneurs du monde, Je m'entraîne dans la meilleure salle de sport du monde. J'ai la meilleure équipe du monde et, surtout, J'ai la meilleure épouse et la meilleure partenaire d'entraînement du monde,»Dit Dezurn, qui s'entraîne avec Barry Hunter à Washington, À courant continu, et spars avec sa femme, boxeuse professionnelle et ancienne huit fois championne nationale amateur Franchon Crews.

 

“Mon équipe m'a dit que tout l'entraînement et le combat que je fais étaient plus durs que ce combat lui-même. Le combat que je fais chaque jour est plus dur. Je n'allais pas me manquer pendant ce combat quand ce que je fais chaque jour est plus difficile et quand tous mes amis et ma famille sont venus me soutenir.”

 

Davila est devenu le 162 combattant à subir sa première défaite sur la série de développement prospect.

 

"Ce soir il ne s’agit pas de gagner ou de perdre j’ai montré que j’ai un chien en moi. J'ai répondu à cette question,”A déclaré Davila. «Je suis sorti du plan de match et aurais dû écouter mon corner. La taille a joué un petit rôle dans le combat, mais je ne fais aucune excuse. J'ai déjà vu de petits hommes assommer de grands hommes.

 

L'événement a été promu par Greg Cohen Promotions et Promotions Banner en association avecMonde de la boxe et Promotions de soulèvement.

 

Vendredi de tripleheader rejouera sur Lundi, Avril 17 à 10 p.m. ET/PT sur SHOWTIME EXTREME et sera disponible sur SHOWTIME sur DEMAND® et SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

CITATIONS FINALES:

 

DMITRY BIVOL:

«Le plan était de devenir champion du monde lors de ma première 10 combats. Nous y sommes presque.

 

«Clarkson est un gros poids lourd léger, mais j'ai combattu des mecs plus gros. Ceci est un combat difficile, mais nous étions prêts à prendre un risque pour cette opportunité de se battre à la télé.

 

«J'ai fait une transition d'amateur à pro. Le BMS a aidé cette transition et m'a donné de l'expérience. J'ai pu apprendre de combat en combat, et j'ai acquis de l'expérience dans chaque combat.

 

«J'ai essayé d'être plus agressif et de contrôler le rythme du combat. Je suis à l'aise pour avancer et reculer.

 

«Nous ressentirons la puissance et le timing au début. Je sais ce que les gens attendent de moi - ils veulent le KO - et si l'occasion se présente, j'essaierai de le finir.

 

«Travailler chez Wild Card a été une grande différence. Formation aux États-Unis. est complètement différent. En Russie, ce sont surtout des amateurs, donc vous vous habituez au mauvais style. La plupart de ce que j’ai appris a été de me disputer avec des pros ici aux États-Unis..

 

«Clarkson se présente généralement. Il semble mal à l'aise de revenir en arrière. Nous pensons que nous pouvons utiliser nos avantages pour plafonner ses erreurs et le sortir de sa zone de confort.

 

SAMUEL CLARKSON:

«Je ne suis pas un outsider. Je me suis battu ici pour atteindre cette position et la séquence de victoires. J'ai l'impression d'avoir prouvé que j'étais ici. Mes pertes m'ont aidé à arriver là où je suis. Je sais que j'appartiens ici.

 

"Je n'ai jamais été du genre à me faire renverser et à rester à terre. Je suis prêt pour tout ce qui vient. La pression n'est pas sur moi. I just need to do my thing.

 

“I’ve been in some wars. I know what it’s like to get knocked down. He hasn’t been there before. I need to stand my ground. I’m not backing up.

 

«Je veux voir de quoi parle le battage médiatique. His whole career is my winning streak.

 

“I’ve been sparring with top quality guys. Je suis prêt pour ce combat. It’s a big opportunity and I don’t feel any pressure.

 

“He hasn’t been in wars like we have. It’s hard when you face a guy like me that isn’t afraid of you. He’s one dimensional. We want to make him as uncomfortable as possible.

 

“We’re coming to take his belt. He’s going to have to stop us from taking it. He’s never faced anyone like me – a really fast fighter with a lot of power.”

CARLOS SOTO:

“I’ll do whatever it takes. If I have to come forward, I’ll come forward. If I have to box, I’ll box.

 

“Hawkins a smart fighter, rapide, tall. He likes to fight at a distance. I need to pressure him to win the fight.

 

“I’ve faced fighters as tall as him before. This isn’t new for me.

 

“I’ve only been in the U.S. once before, and I’ve never fought here. I need to take advantage of this experience.

 

“My goal is to go for it. I want to be the best in my weight class. Everything starts now for me.”

 

MALIK HAWKINS:

“I grew up with Gervonta (Davis). I saw him win the title, I’ve seen his success, and now it’s my turn. It’s been great motivation for me. For him to become a champion motivated me even more.

 

“We’ve sparred 1,000’s of rounds with Gervonta. We’ve been in there with the champ and know it’s our time.

 

“We’re here to prove we’re ready. We don’t want to take any shortcuts. We’re taking this one fight at a time. We’re building and building.

 

“I’m tall, but I have an inside game. I fight inside better than a short fighter.

 

“People don’t want to take the chance to fight me. Credit to Soto for taking the fight, but he’s going to learn the hard way why no one wants to fight me.”

 

LEROY DAVILA

 

“We knew this was coming some day and now it’s here. We know all about Dezurn. He’s the perfect opponent for us. We know can break him down.

 

“When I didn’t make the Olympic team, I got right over it. But I wasn’t sure I was going to turn pro. I have a family to take care of and I can’t let anything distract me from being a father. But now I’m 5-0 and fighting on national TV. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for.

 

“Dezurn is an aggressive and has a lot of heart, but I’m not worried about him. I need to focus on myself.

 

“A win puts me in the conversation with the other up-and-coming fighters. A win could really change my career.”

 

GLENN DEZURN:

 

“Sparring with my wife helps me. She hits like a dude. She’s taught me a lot – she taught me discipline. We push each other in the gym; we make each other better fighters.

 

“If you can make an adjustment with a sharp female woman, there’s no reason you can’t do it with a man.

 

“I like to break down my opponents. I become aggressive when I see a weakness.

 

“I’m ready to fight. I’m ready to get in there. I worked hard and now it’s time to have fun.

 

“I sparred with Rau’Shee (Garenne) pour ce combat. He has tremendous talent. He’s an inspiration for me. We also sparred with Vasyl Lomachenko for this fight. You have to be physically and mentally in shape to fight him.”

DMITRY BIVOL TRAINING CAMP QUOTES IN ADVANCE OF SHOBOX: LA NOUVELLE GÉNÉRATION

 

Vendredi, Avril 14 En direct sur Showtime

From The Theater at MGM National Harbor in Maryland

Undefeated former Russian amateur standout Dmitry Bivol will defend his Interim WBA Light Heavyweight Title against Samuel Clarkson in the 12-round main event of ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération sur Vendredi, Avril 14 survivre AFFICHER L'HEURE(10 p.m. ET/PT) at The Theater at MGM National Harbor in National Harbor, Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C.

 

Known for his aggressive style, the 26-year-old Bivol (9-0, 7 KOs, 2-0 WSB) was a decorated amateur and former Russian National Champion at 178 livres, who is now determined to make his mark in one of boxing’s toughest weight classes. Clarkson (19-3, 12 KOs), de Cedar Hill, Texas, has won his last nine fights in a row and will make his third appearance onShoBox.

 

Bivol is managed by Los Angeles-based Vadim Konilov and trained by Gennady Mashianov. He has recently ended his sparring sessions at both Wild Card Gym and Wild Card West in Southern California where he has been training in the same camp with fellow countryman and 2010 European super heavyweight amateur gold medalist Sergey Kuzmin.

 

Here’s a quick question and answer session through an interpreter after visiting with Bivol at the apartment where he has been residing for the past five weeks in the heart of Hollywood.

 

Question: Global, how would you assess how your training camp went?

 

Buffle: “I think that training camp went very good. One of the reasons I decided to come to Southern California to train was that there are so many different sparring partners here. We had a very spirited camp and I consider myself ready for the fight.”

 

Question: What kind of fight do you expect from such a strong opponent as Samuel Clarkson?

Buffle: “I’m expecting for him to get in the ring and push himself and come forward. I know he’ll come out aggressive and try to put the pressure on me. We’ll see.”

 

Question: You are young and have only nine pro fights, but are already fighting to defend an interim world title. Are you happy with the way your pro career has started?

 

Buffle: “To be honest, I don’t really ever think about the belt and the interim title. For me the main WBA belt is the most important one and I want to stay at the top of the rankings to get it. As far as my career going too fast, I don’t believe so. I think I have more than enough experience in the amateurs and that I’ve aligned myself with the best trainer and sparring partners out there. So I’m happy where my career is at right now. I don’t think it’s progressing too fast.”

 

Question: There are some that are picking this fight as 50/50? Why do you think they are predicting this fight can go either way?"

 

Buffle: “This is boxing and I think there are a lot of fights that are 50/50. Tout peut arriver. You never know; upsets can happen at any time. For me this is step-up fight. Not only because of how good my opponent is, but also because of what it means to me. Winning this fight will open the door to many opportunities.”

 

Question: How important is it to put on a good show and put on an exciting performance fighting in your first main event on SHOWTIME?

 

Buffle: “Sure everything is amped up a little bit more because it’s on SHOWTIME. But every time I step into the ring I want to put on a good show for the fans. Ce temps, probably a little bit more so, but the most important thing is to get the win.”

 

Question: Is there one weaknesses you have worked on during this training camp?

Buffle: “I don’t think there are any weaknesses, so it’s been like any other training camp. I can’t talk about what I’ve been preparing for from my opponent. You will have to wait and see it in the ring.”

 

Question: What do you think about training in Southern California?

Buffle: “I love everything about it. The best thing though is the weather. In my hometown city in Russia, St. Pétersbourg, we don’t have weather like this. I like the atmosphere here and the people and where we train. I just like it all.”

 

Question: You have a large collection of amateur medals. Where are they displayed?

 

Buffle: “I keep them all in one place in my parents’ home. We don’t think we deserve them all. It is something they are very proud of.”

 

Question: What do you think about the other top Russian boxers like Ruslan Provodnikov and Sergey Kovalev?

Buffle: “I respect them all. There are some that are very famous in Russia, but also very famous here. And I see that. They are really good fighters and I’m ready to be at that same level, if not even at a higher level. I’m not in this sport just to stay in shape, I’m here to show and prove that I can be the best in the world.”

 

Les billets pour l'événement, qui est promu par Greg Cohen Promotions et Promotions Banner en association avec Monde de la boxe et Promotions de soulèvement, sont au prix de $103, $73 et $48 et peuvent être achetés à Ticketmaster.com ou par téléphone au 800-745-3000.

NEW YORK (Avril 6, 2017) - Perspective poids welter invaincu Malik “Ice Man” Hawkins meets fellow unbeaten Carlos Soto dans la co-métrage de huit rondes de ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération sur Vendredi, Avril 14 en direct sur Showtime (10 p.m.ET/PT) à partir de The Theater at MGM National Harbor, MD., just outside Washington, D.C.

 

Malik was originally scheduled to face Venezuelan amateur standout Juan Ruiz, but due to an injury in his right hand, Ruiz was forced to withdraw.

 

Dans l'événement principal de la ShoBox tripleheader, former Russian amateur standout Dmitry Bivol defends his interim WBA Light Heavyweight belt against Samuel Clarkson and unbeaten Glenn Dezurn meets two-time national amateur champion Leroy Davila in an eight-round super bantamweight showdown.

 

Les billets pour l'événement, qui est promu par Greg Cohen Promotions et Promotions Banner en association avec Monde de la boxe etPromotions de soulèvement, sont au prix de $103, $73 et $48 et peuvent être achetés à Ticketmaster.com ou par téléphone au 800-745-3000.

 

Malik, (10-0, 7 KOs), de Baltimore, Maryland, amassed a 92-8 record in the amateurs and won the Bronze Medal in the 2012 Jeux olympiques juniors. He shares the same trainer –Calvin Ford– with stablemate and IBF Junior Lightweight Champion Gervonta Davis.

 

“I’m excited and eager to get in the ring,” said 21-year-old Hawkins, “My new opponent is another reason for me to stay focused and work ever harder. There’s a lot at stake for me. This is the first step to give my child the life I never had.

 

“I don’t know anything about the dude,” he laughed, “But I never really look up at who I’m fighting anyway. Training is going great and I’m in the best shape I have ever been in my career. I can feel it; it’s going to be an epic night for me.”

 

With a new mouth to feed, just before the biggest fight of his career, Hawkins could be excused for feeling some extra pressure. “I’ve fought on TV before, but there’s no doubt this is a bigger stage. I can’t say how I will win, but let’s just say that by the end of the fight, you’ll all know I won.”

 

 

Fourré, (13-0-2, 7 KOs), a seven-year pro from Torreon, Mexico is making his United States and television debut. He’s coming off of a third-round TKO over Alonso Martinez in February following a three-year hiatus due to issues with his promoter. He’s a licensed engineer and a full time, CrossFit-certified personal trainer and.

 

I’ve been active in the gym and I’m very confident in my abilities,” said the 28-year-old. “I’ve been training for about a year, and I’ve been in fighting shape for about a year. I also ran two marathons during that time.

 

I see myself as a boxer-puncher. I can box on the outside, but I can also mix it up on the inside. I’m intelligent in the ring and aggressive – I can go forward – but I have the option to either box or punch. I can be effective either way, depending on how the fight goes.

 

I’ve seen a couple of videos of Malik Hawkins. Il est grand, he’s got good distance. He’s fast and intelligent, but I haven’t seen him put together many punches. I see him more as a passive, tactical type fighter, not someone who’s going to be aggressive like me.

 

I’m there to fight, I won’t ever quit on my stool. I’ve got a lot of heart and a lot of desire. I’m very proud of my undefeated record, and I’m very motivated to keep my winning streak alive.”

That is a sentiment that trainer Rodriguez echoes.
Justin is different then Jarrett. He uses hand-speed, Jarrett uses his size.

Justin Hurd considers himself a real student of the game and has followed the advice of both his big brother and trainer.
What I have learned by watching Jarrett go through his run is to listen to our trainers. I learned that my trainers tell us what to do for good reason. Avec cela à l'esprit, I just am ready to put on a show and am grateful to be added to the card on April 14th.”
Hurd joins Hasim Rahman, Jr., Ruben Villa and Michael Dutchover on the non-televised undercard.

I’m not saying there isn’t competition in Dallas, but I wanted different looks and to be out of my comfort zone. I got what I was looking for here.
Clarkson says he can tell he’s in the shape of his life for this fight.
I’m seeing new muscles,” said Clarkson, who has won nine straight fights. “The power was already there, but my speed is great now too. I will most definitely come in under weight. We’ve put a lot of focus on weight this time. The goal is to eat breakfast before weighing in. I have kept on a very strict dietmy dad cooks everything and we’re eating right.
“je suis prêt pour la guerre. I’m not afraid of this guy. Je suis prêt à se battre.”

Dmitry Bivol vs. Samuel Clarkson – 12 Round Light Heavyweight Bout:

Buffle, who compiled an impressive amateur record of 285-15, is looking to break through in a division which features the likes of Adonis Stevenson, Andre Ward, Sergey Kovalev and Badou Jack. Last May in Moscow, the 26-year-old won the Interim WBA Light Heavyweight Title in only his seventh professional fight with a unanimous decision over previously undefeated Felix Valera.

Bivol has since won twice, both times on Russian soil, including a fourth-round knockout of Robert Berridge in defense of his interim belt.

“I am very glad that this will be my first fight televised in the U.S.,” said Bivol, who is fighting for the third time in America. “It’s great that this is main event because that motivates me. Clarkson is a good defensive fighter. He can be aggressive and I expect this to be a tough fight. I look forward to introducing myself to American fans with a great performance, and I plan to defend my title with an exciting victory.”

Clarkson has registered nine consecutive victories following a loss to the current unbeaten Jesse Hart (21-0). Clarkson moved up in weight to beat Cedric Agnew (27-1) en Février 2015, et a ShoBox knockout wins over Jerry Odom (13-1) en Juillet 2015 and Lavarn Harvell (15-1) en Octobre 2015.

“This is a huge opportunity to prove my abilities to the world,”A déclaré Clarkson. “Bivol is a crafty fighter from Russia and had a very impressive amateur career, mostly at 165 livres. He’s a good fighter and I definitely have to bring my A-game.

“I’m ready for the challenge because I do really well against European fighters. European fighters are slow and come forward a lot, and they’re not big on head movement. We are working hard and have a lot of guys in the gym who fight with a similar style. By fight time I’ll be ready for anything he has.

“I had to make up my mind if I wanted to be the lion or the lamb and, à la fin, I decided I don’t like losing. I rededicated myself and now I can’t be stopped.”

Juan Ruiz vs. Malik Hawkins – Eight-Round Welterweight Bout:

The son of a former fighter, Ruiz is originally from Venezuela and fights out of Baja California, Mexique. He lost just eight times in 220 combats amateurs, was a six-time Venezuela national champion and was part of the Venezuelan National Team. The undefeated Ruiz has won via knockout in seven of his last nine fights.

“This is a golden ticket for me to show what I’m capable of,"Ruiz a dit. “I will do my best to give the fans watching on TV and those attending the fight the best show possible.

The 21-year-old Baltimore-resident Hawkins was 92-8 as an amateur and shares the same trainer – Calvin Ford – as stablemate and IBF Junior Lightweight Champion Gervonta Davis. Hawkins, qui était le 2012 Bronze Medalist in the Junior Olympics, will face his toughest test to date in fellow undefeated Juan Ruiz.

“This is a huge chance for me to showcase my skills and show I belong among the best in the welterweight division,” Hawkins said. “There’s nothing he can bring I haven’t seen, and I plan on making him fight my fight.

“I get better when I fight talented fighters. Pour être honnête, nobody I have fought so far has brought out the best in me, but I’m hoping that Ruiz does just that. A victory over him would put me in position to fight the opponents I need to fight to take that next step toward becoming a contender.”

Glenn Dezurn vs. TBD – Eight-Round Featherweight Bout:

The undefeated Dezurn, who was a three-sport star athlete in high school, was an amateur standout who compiled an 87-7 record in the unpaid ranks under the tutelage of Barry Hunter. The Baltimore native is married to female boxer and U.S. Olympic alternate Franchon Crews, who fought Claressa Shields in the amateurs and in her pro debut.

Fighting Professionally in his Hometown for the First Time this Friday, Nick Casal to Make First Ring Appearance in Nearly Five Years

A familiar name, especially to the local boxing fans, will make his first ring appearance in just under five years ce vendredi night in his own hometown of Niagara Falls, New York.
Former red-hot prospect NickHands of GoldCasal (22-4-1, 17 KOs) says he’s expecting some rust, but should have enough to overcome when he takes on 37-fight veteran Antonio Chaves Fernandez of Brockton, Massachusetts, in one of the untelevised supporting bouts at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino. The fight will be Casal’s first at home as a professional.
Dans l'événement principal de 10 manches de la nuit, WBO #11-, WBA #12- and IBF #15-rated heavyweight boxer Jarrell “Big Baby” Meunier (16-0-1, 14 KOs), defends his WBA NABA Heavyweight title against Topeka, Kansas, slugger Nick Guivas (12-3-2, 9 KOs). And in the 10-round lightweight semi-final, red-hot Filipino prospect HarmonitoEl Huracan de Gensan” Dela Torre (17-0, 12 KOs) will make his debut on US soil against capable veteran Guillermo Sanchez (15-18-1, 6 KOs) de Buffalo.
Presented by Greg Cohen Promotions, Salita Promotions, FightCard Productions and Winner Take All Productions, “Championship Boxing sur CBS Sports Network” will be broadcast live nationally at 9 pm EST.
Les billets pour “Championship Boxing sur CBS Sports Network” commence à $35 and are available at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino box-office,www.ticketmaster.com or you can charge by phone at 1-800-745-3000.
30-year-old Casal was headed for big things in boxing before suffering a loss of focus and all four of his losses in a two-year stretch from 2007 à 2009. Depuis, inactivity has been the name of his game.
So where was he and why wasn’t he fighting?
I never really left,” said Casal during a break in one of his final training sessions. “I’ve been working full-time for the last three years, but I was ready to go and trying to get a fight the whole time. I had a number of them fall through. I had one fight fall through at the weigh-in when a guy failed his physical. That was heartbreaking. But now, I finally have a team in place that can keep them from falling through and I’m glad to be finally getting back in the ring.
Casal says he’s basically the same talented fighter he always waswith a few improvements.
“Physiquement, I feel exactly the same as I did five years ago. Mentalement, I would say I’m a little stronger and a lot more patient than I was when I was younger. I set my shots up a lot better. I don’t think the ring rust will be as bad as it is for other guys who take a lot of time off. I’ve been in the gym training fighters and working out the whole time. I expect to have a little bit of rust, but not as much as someone who was completely out for years. I picture it going very well if I stick to my game plan and stay very focused.
Working with father Ray at their Casal’s Boxing Club Gym in Niagara Falls since February, Casal says he will now compete in the welterweight division and expects to take an aggressive approach to getting back on track.
I want to win a few regional titles and then earn a world title shot. Around this time next year, I’d like to be in some important fights.
Casal says he owes his apparent resurgence to promoter Greg Cohen, with whom he signed earlier this year.
He’s a great promoter and does shows in my hometown. I’ve never fought here as a professional. I fought in Buffalo a few times in 2011, but never fought here. That was important to me. People are calling like crazy for tickets. I’m excited to get it on. With the crowd behind me, Je serai 100% prêt. I’ve just been waiting for the right guy to help me get to where I want to be. Looks like I found him.
La nuit de combat, ouverture des portes à 6 h et l'action commence à 7:00 h. The Seneca Niagara Resort & Le casino est situé au 310 4th Street à Niagara Falls, New York. Pour plus d'informations, appel 877-873-6322 ou visite www.senecaniagaracasino.com.
