Keith “Dusøren” Hunter restitueret fra håndskade Klar til at møde topkonkurrenter

Efterlad en kommentar
LAS VEGAS, NV (Maj 15, 2020) - Prince Ranch Boxing's ubesejret super let udfordrer, Keith “Dusøren” Jæger (12-0, 7 KOS), er kommet sig fuldt ud efter en håndskade, han fik i sin sidste kamp med Sanjarbek Rakhmanov (12-3-1, 6 KOS), en kamp på 10 runder, der havde overskriften på ShoBox tilbage i februar i år.


Jæger, en indfødt i Las Vegas, er ivrig efter at møde alle topudfordrer, når boksningen vender tilbage. Superletvægteren er i øjeblikket rangeret #13 af WBA, hvilket betyder, at hans skud i toppen af ​​divisionen snart kommer.

“Jeg er klar til at møde de bedste i divisionen, og jeg føler mig endnu bedre, da min hånd er helt helet med denne fri,” forklarede Hunter, som er klar til at bevise sig selv igen. “Jeg skulle kæmpe Shonjahon Ergashev og Malik Hawkins, så jeg vil gerne bekæmpe dem først, men ærligt, en kamp med nogen af ​​verdensmestrene er en udfordring, jeg er klar til nu. Jeg er villig og klar til at møde det bedste!”

Jæger, der ledes af Greg Hannley, bliver ved med at være klar, mens han afventer et telefonopkald om, at boksningen er tilbage.


“Keith Hunter er klar til sit skud mod de bedste i divisionen,” sagde lederen Greg Hannley, CEO for Prins Ranch Boksning. “Keith har besejret to kæmpere underskrevet af Mayweather Promotions i sine seneste tre på hinanden følgende kampe. Han får national opmærksomhed, og hans placering i WBA bringer ham tættere på et verdensmesterskab. Nu er det Keith Hunters tid.”

“Jeg ved bare, at jeg er begavet og ønsker at vinde en verdenstitel for at fremme min fars arv,” Hunter fortsatte. “Jeg er så fokuseret, Jeg vil bare bringe god underholdning til folk, der har brug for ting at lave, og hvis jeg kan kæmpe for en titel, det ville endda være bedre.”


Keith Hunter er forfremmet af Greg Cohen, grundlægger, og administrerende direktør for Greg Cohen Promotions.

BRANDUN LEE FORTSÆTTER IMPONERENDE START PÅ KARRIEREN MED TREDJE RUNDE TKO OVER CAMILO PRIETO I HOVEDBEGIVENHEDEN AF SHOBOX: DEN NYE GENERATION FREDAG PÅ SHOWTIME®

Brian Norman, Jr. Wins Via Technical Unanimous Decision Over Flavio Rodriguez; Alejandro Guerrero and Aram Avagyan Earn Impressive Majority Decision Victories At Hinckley Grand Casino in Hinckley, Fra.

HINCKLEY, MINN. - Marts 14, 2020 - Undefeated 20-year-old super lightweight prospect Brandun Lee continued the impressive start to his career by scoring a third-round TKO over 33-year-old challenger Camilo Prieto in the ShoBox: Den nye generation main event Friday night from Hinckley Grand Casino in Hinckley, Fra.



The knockout artist Lee, who had stopped 16 for sit første 18 professional opponents, eased into Friday’s main event, seeking to take his time and add more rounds to his resume. But after just two rounds, Lee (19-0, 17 KOS) stunned the mobile but overly defensive Prieto (15-3, 10 KOS) with a combination. Lee sensed he had injured his opponent and turned on the jets, scoring the TKO after unleashing a multi-punch barrage against the defenseless and against-the-ropes Prieto.



In a night where the four bouts were contested solely in front of the fighters’ friends and family, referee Mark Nelson intervened to stop the main event at the 2:34 mark of round number three. The numbers reflected the lopsidedness of the fight as Lee led 53-9 i de samlede slag landede, 17-8 in jabs connected and 36-1 on power shots. Lee landed more power shots in the fight (36) than Prieto attempted (34).



“I don’t think this was any kind of learning experience for Lee,” said SHOWTIME’s Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. “He needs tougher, more accomplished opponents who can at least give him rounds, if not a competitive fight.”



“I shouldn’t have gone three rounds with that guy,” said Lee, who was fighting on ShoBox for the second time. “I should have gotten him out of there in 40 seconds or a minute tops. But the guy had a game plan and his coach is a former world champion [Glen Johnson] who knew I hadn’t ever been past the fourth round. He was just trying to tire me out. No one wants to watch two guys looking at each other. My defense was a nine out of 10 i aften. But overall I give myself a C-minus. I want to take it to the next level and I’m just super grateful to SHOWTIME and ShoBox for giving me these opportunities.”



I co-featured Bout, an all-action affair between undefeated prospect Brian Norman, Jr. (17-0, 14 KOS) and Flavio Rodriguez (9-2-1, 7 KOS) was cut short after an accidental headbutt caused a deep vertical laceration on the forehead of Rodriguez. At the advice of the ringside physician, referee Gary Miezwa stopped the fight at 57 seconds of round number seven. The fight went to the judges’ scorecards with the technical unanimous decision going in Norman’s favor, 69-64 og 68-65 to gange.



Norman broke open a competitive fight by out-landing Rodriguez 79-35 overall and 73-20 in power punches in rounds five through seven, a reflection of Norman’s superior activity (72.4 punches per round to Rodriguez’s 54.4), accuracy (33%-29% samlet, 44%-32% magt) and body punching (67-50 in connects).



The 19-year-old Norman, who turned pro at the age of 17 and is trained by his father and former pro fighter Brian Norman Sr., showed the skills that give him the reputation of a highly-regarded prospect, but still left the fight feeling unsatisfied.



“That headbutt was right before the knockout,” said Norman. “I’m pretty sure everybody saw it. That boy was dead but I give him respect. I believe that seventh round was the knockout round, either by TKO or knockout. I had him dead the round before and drained all the energy out of him.”



“I know I won more rounds than that,” said the 29-year-old Rodriguez, who also feels a knockout was imminent, but in his favor. “I definitely know I won more rounds. I was hitting him with power shots and if we didn’t have that accidental headbutt I felt I could have gotten him out of there.”



In the second fight of the four-fight telecast, undefeated lightweight prospect Alejandro “Pork Chop” Guerrero (12-0, 9 KOS) won a closely-contested slugfest via majority decision over Jose Angulo (12-2, 5 KOS). Dommerne scorede kampen 76-76, 79-73 og 78-74.



In the highly entertaining fight that pitted the aggressive Guerrero against the counter-punching Angulo, two of the judges were seemingly impressed more by Guerrero’s aggression and slightly better power punching (he led 109-104 in power punch connects) than by Angulo’s activity (89.3 punches per round to Guerrero’s 68.9), mobility and diverse combination punching.



With both men going past six rounds for the first time in their careers, it was Guerrero who was able to finish with more energy. He hurt Angulo with a strong right hand in the sixth round and nearly closed the show late in the eighth and final round, but the Ecuadorian who was making his U.S. debut was able to stay on his feet.



“That was probably the toughest fight I’ve had,” said the 22-year-old Guerrero. “I’ve fought at 140 before so his punch power wasn’t too much. Just his heart; you can tell when a fighter has heart and they just want to sit there and bang it out. I didn’t think it was an even fight. I was landing the better shots and I was the better man out there. I gave myself a seven. I can do way better. I just need more conditioning. Whoever’s next, I’ll take on the best in my weight division.”



In a battle of unbeaten featherweights making their ShoBox debuts in the telecast opener, Armenian Olympian Aram Avagyan (10-0-1, 4 KOS) overcame knockdowns in both the first and second rounds to earn a hard-fought majority decision over Dominican Republic’s Dagoberto Aguero (15-1, 10 KOS). Dommerne scorede kampen 75-75, 76-74 og 77-74.



For the second consecutive fight, Avagyan, who is trained by SugarHill Steward at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit, started slow and was knocked down in the first round. The 29-year-old also hit the canvas in round two when Aguero connected on a chopping overhand right. Starting in the third round, through an impressive body attack (98-42 in connects), better power accuracy (39%-35%) and his ability to induce a rugged inside fight, Avagyan was able to gradually empty the gas tank of Aguero, who had never been past six rounds.



A heavy right cross appeared to score a knockdown of Aguero in the seventh, but referee Gary Ritter ruled it a slip. Aguero led 55-24 in overall connects and 55-20 in power punches landed after two rounds, but Avagyan came on strong in rounds six through eight (83-44 samlet, 80-48 magt) to score the comeback victory. Aguero became the 192ND fighter to lose their undefeated record on ShoBox.



“After the second knockdown I just knew I needed to settle down and it would be okay," sagde Avagyan. “I had to just come back strong and keep applying the pressure and I did that. The knockdowns were big on points so I knew it would be tough to come back. I thought the performance was just okay. I can show more, and I will in the future.”



Friday’s fights were promoted by Salita Promotions in association with D & D Boksning. Hele tv-udsendelsen afspilles på mandag, Marts 16 på 10 p.m. ET/PT på SHOWTIME EXTREME og vil være tilgængelig på SHOWTIME ALTID® og SHOWTIME på DEMAND®.

NEW YORK – March 10, 2020 – Rising 140-pound knockout artist Brandun Lee has a growing reputation within the sport of boxing and can count three accomplished and decorated pros among those who believe he is destined for the very top.

"DAY IN CAMP: Brandun Lee," a 15-minute special video feature, captures Lee’s family-first mentality, emphasis on the importance of education and hunger for success inside the ring. Viewers are taken through a typical day during Lee’s training camp, which includes sparring, college coursework, cooking, a grueling nighttime workout and a FaceTime call with friend and fellow ShoBox fighter Jaron Ennis. Available for viewing HER:https://youtu.be/Ow04RVwkpx8



“Brandun is a beast,” said Ennis, who has fought on SHOWTIME in four of his last five fights. “He’s a phenomenal fighter and he’s going to put on a show Friday night. I think he’ll be able to show boxing fans all his skills. He’s a monster. Him being a calm and relaxed fighter sets him apart. He’s really smart as well and has great ring IQ, but you can’t forget about his power because he has the ability to end fights early.”



Bradley and Haney, who are among the list of the 81 krigere, der er dukket op på ShoBox and advanced to garner world titles, have both sparred with Lee and are amazed by the bright prospect’s talent.



Bradley, who appeared on ShoBox four times between 2006-08, including a split-decision over Junior Witter to win the WBC Super Lightweight Championship, recalls sparring with a 14-year-old Lee ahead of Bradley’s fight with Juan Manuel Marquez for the WBO Welterweight Title in 2013. Bradley’s trainer, Joel Diaz, wanted to replicate Marquez’s counterpunching ability and believed Lee’s hand speed and counterpunching were credible.



“Lee and I sparred four complete rounds and, dreng, was I impressed with his ring IQ, fart, timing and movement,” said Bradley. “For a young man with no pro experience, he was able to hold his own. Brandun is from my area so I follow him from afar and I really admire his game. He’s undefeated and that’s not surprising at all. I believe Lee has the goods to become a world champion and at this point he is still gaining experience and momentum towards his dream.



“There are still questions that need to be answered by Lee. How will he respond if he is ever knocked down? How will he do against someone just like himself; someone undefeated, stern and just as hungry? It’s going to be fun to watch him as he continues his journey. He has the skill to rise to the top but we all know it takes more than just skills. He’s on the right course and I back him 110 procent. "



Haney, who headlined on the prospect development series on three different occasions, went on to win a world title at the age of 20 and believes Lee has the potential to move up the ranks quite quickly as well.



“If you haven’t heard of Brandun Lee, you will very soon,” said Haney, nu 21 år. “He has the talent and power to make some real noise in the welterweight division. I sparred him before and trust me, he’s a real dog. I’m looking forward to watching on March 13 and I expect my guy to put on a hell of a performance on ShoBox: Den nye generation."



Lee has also sparred with Oxnard, Calif.’s Mikey Garcia, who has fought on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING six times, and Mauricio Herrera, who lost a close decision to then-unified champion Danny Garcia on SHOWTIME in 2014.



Friday’s four-fight ShoBox telecast includes five boxers who have yet to taste defeat with a total record of 107 wins to just four defeats and two draws.

Top til tå, bliver en nat med kampe, der skal ses, skinner i rampelyset efter min mening, i nogle af morgendagens mestre."



"Dette er fire fantastiske matchups mellem kommende unge kæmpere,” sagde Cameron Dunkin fra D&D Boksning. “Brandun Lee har en stor test foran sig til sin første hovedbegivenhed på ShoBox. Brian Norman og Alejandro Guerrero vil også være i deres karrieres hårdeste kampe. Alle fire tv-kampe har potentiale til at være eksplosive. Det er den slags kampe, som boksning har brug for."



Bare 20 år, knockout-kunstneren Lee (18-0, 16 KOS) fra La Quinta, Calif., har KO'd alle på nær to af sine modstandere (88.89 procent), Herunder 11 i første runde, fire i den anden og en i den tredje.

"Jeg er spændt på at stå for mit første SHOWTIME-show,"Lee sagde. "Jeg glæder mig til at give fans noget andet, som de ikke har set fra mig før. De kommer til at se mig vise mine bokseevner meget mere. I mine sidste to kampe, Jeg føler, at jeg ikke rigtig viste, hvor godt mit forsvar er. Jeg kommer til at bruge venstre hånd meget mere til at mærke ham ud. Og så, når tiden er inde, Jeg smider bomberne. Overskrift min første ShoBox er en kæmpe bedrift. Det vil være ligesom at afslutte gymnasiet i boksning. Efter dette, Jeg håber at komme videre til universitetsniveauet for boksning som SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING eller Pay-per-View.



Den 33-årige Prieto (15-1, 10 KOS) kører en sejrsrække på syv kampe, og hans sidste tab kommer i februar 2017.

Han ved, hvordan man skubber og guider dig den rigtige vej til store kampe som denne. Brandun Lee ligner en ung, ubesejret fighter for mig, men jeg kan ikke se noget for imponerende, ærligt. Du kan forvente at se fyrværkeri den aften. Jeg vil virkelig komme og sætte Brandun på prøve. Han har aldrig mødt nogen så god som mig. Det kommer til at være en actionfyldt kamp. "



Norman, den 19-årige Atlanta-beboer, ligesom Lee også har vundet alle på nær to af sine kampe på knockout. Senest, Norman opnåede en enstemmig beslutningssejr over Evincii Dixon i januar 17 i Sloan, Iowa.

»Jeg leder ikke kun efter en sejr ShoBox, Jeg vil gerne vise mig frem," sagde Norman. ”Jeg vil gerne vise, hvad jeg kan. Jeg vil bryde min modstander ned og lade alle vide, at jeg er her. Du kan forvente at se en masse fyrværkeri. Både min far og Barry giver mig alt, og jeg giver det tilbage. Jeg ved, at Rodriguez er kort, preskæmper. Han er dybest set skabt til, at jeg skal slå."



Rodriguez træner på Capetillo Boxing Academy i East Los Angeles. Han havde en amatørrekord på 86 vinder og 14 tab og var sølvvinder ved Junior Olympic Nationals.



“At kæmpe på SHOWTIME er en drøm, der går i opfyldelse," sagde Rodriguez. "Vokse op, Jeg har altid ønsket at være en af ​​de fyre, der kæmpede på tv, så det er ret spændende at få muligheden for at gøre det og vise verden mine evner. En sejr ville betyde meget for mig, især en sejr over en så sej som den fyr, jeg kæmper mod. Jeg håber, at en sejr over ham kan bringe mig til større muligheder for at kæmpe om en verdensmesterskab."



Guerrero er en kæmpestor kunde, der har vundet sine sidste tre kampe på knockout. En berømt amatør, der vandt to junior-nationaltitler, "Pork Chop" har sparret med folk som Mikey Garcia og Brandon Rios på det berømte Garcia Boxing Academy i Californien. Kæmper ud af Houston, den 21-årige får sin nationale tv-debut i marts 13 og kommer efter en anden runde TKO af Darnell Jiles Jr. i januar i år.



"Jeg elsker, at jeg får denne mulighed," sagde Guerrero. "Jeg har trænet til dette hele mit liv. Min drøm er at blive verdensmester, så en sejr ville betyde så meget for mig og min familie. Jeg har trænet rigtig hårdt til denne kamp, vel vidende, at det vil være på nationalt tv. Jeg ved ikke rigtig meget om Angulo, men vi træner hårdt for alle. Resultatet vil altid være det samme. Jeg vil altid vinde."

Siden tabet, Angulo har vundet seks sejre i træk, inklusive knockouts i anden og første runde af hans sidste to kampe, henholdsvis.



"Der vil være en stor overraskelse, der venter på Guerrero den 13. marts," sagde Angulo. "Han kan lide at kæmpe indeni, og han kommer også frem med en masse aggression, så han er den perfekte stil for mig og den måde, jeg kan lide at kæmpe på. Jeg ser frem til at vise mig selv frem på denne store platform og sætte alle mine kompetencer i arbejde. Jeg vinder."



Avagyan, en 29-årig fra Jerevan, Armenien, repræsenterede sit hjemland i 2016 Olympiske Lege. Avagyan havde en gennemført amatørkarriere, vinde bronzemedaljer på begge 2013 og 2015 europæiske mesterskaber. At blive professionel efter 2016 Rio de Janeiro spil, Avagyan vandt sine første otte professionelle kampe, før han i september kæmpede mod russiske Evgeny Smirnov til en delt beslutning. 2018. Hans sidste time out, han lavede sit U.S. debut på underkortet af Canelo Alvarez-Daniel Jacobs, hvor han praktisk out-boxede dengang ubesejrede Francisco Esparza på vej til en enstemmig beslutning.



"Hver kamp er en chance for at bevise mig selv og komme til tops," sagde Avagyan, der er underskrevet til Salita Promotions. “Når jeg går ud i ringen, Jeg tænker kun på at vinde nogen til pris. Aguero er blot endnu en forhindring, der skal flyttes af vejen. Før hver kamp, Jeg overgiver mig til at træne hundrede procent, så det på kampdagen, Jeg fortryder ikke vejen. Fight night er som en ferie for mig, fordi tiden er kommet, som jeg forberedte mig på."



Den 26-årige Aguero var en imponerende amatør i sit hjemland Den Dominikanske Republik. Aguero var en sølvmedaljevinder ved 2011 Pan-Am Games i Guadalajara, Mexico, taber kun til den fremtidige to-dobbelte olympiske guldmedaljevinder Robeisy Ramírez. As a pro, San Cristobal indfødte vandt den første 10 kampe i sin karriere i sit hjemland, før han gjorde sit U.S. debut i februar 2017 da han fik den mest imponerende sejr i sin unge karriere over Olimjon Nazarov.



“At kæmpe på SHOWTIME er det, vi har ventet på," sagde Aguero, som i øjeblikket træner i Pahokee, Fla. "Jeg ser på det som muligheden for at vise folk, hvem jeg er, og hvornår jeg vinder denne kamp, det bliver begyndelsen på en fantastisk boksekarriere, hvor jeg kan brødføde min familie og give min søn alt, hvad han har brug for og fortjener."



Barry Tompkins vil kalde handlingen fra ringside med boksehistorikeren Steve Farhood og den tidligere verdensmester Raul Marquez, der fungerer som ekspertanalytikere. Den udøvende producent Gordon Hall med Richard Gaughan producere og Rick Phillips dirigere.

PHILADELPHIA – February 15, 2020 - Undefeated 21-year-old lightweight prospect Isaac Cruz stunnedShoBox: Den nye generationveteran Thomas Mattice in a closely contested majority decision win in theShoBoxmain event Friday night from 2300 Arena i Philadelphia, Pa. Watch the fight highlightsHER.

Cross, af Mexico City, rode his superior work rate, a lethal body attack, and his ability to neutralize Mattice’s jab to the victory. Dommerne scorede kampen 95-95 og 96-94 to gange.

Cruz threw an average of 69.4 punches per round, compared to 57.8 punches per round for Mattice. The much shorter Cruz, standing at 5’4” ½, was fearless from the opening bell and held an 82-31 advantage in body punches connected. Mattice, 5’8” ½, was also out-jabbed 34-30. Making his sixth appearance onShoBox, Cleveland’s Mattice was hampered by another slow start, a theme in his previous appearances on the prospect development series. Through the first two rounds, Cruz held advantages of 49-15 in overall punches landed and 39-8 in power punches connected.

“We were going for the knockout but it didn’t come up so we’ll take the decision,"Sagde Cruz. “I thought I won all 10 runder. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. Round one to 10 I dominated and I was never hurt.”

A strong finish in the 10th and final round was not enough for Mattice to salvage a draw.

“I came up short,” said Mattice. “He was the better man. He could hit a little bit. I started out a little slow, trying to see what he had. He jumped out to an early lead and I was just trying to get familiar with his power. Jeg har ingen undskyldninger. Han var den bedste mand i aften. "

I co-featured Bout, Ra’eese Aleem (16-0, 10 KOS) burst onto the scene in his national television debut, putting on a boxing clinic by scoring a fourth-round TKO in a scheduled eight-round super bantamweight bout over San Antonio’s Adam Lopez (19-4-2, 9 KOS).

Aleem, from Muskegon, Mich., proved to be overwhelming for Lopez, who was making his record eighth appearance onShoBox.Fra åbningen klokke, Aleem attacked from all angles as a reactive and slower Lopez was unable to cope with the wide array of punches. The 29-year-old Aleem held a commanding 92-11 advantage in overall punches, including a lopsided 61-7 power punches advantage.

With blood dripping from his nose and scalp, Lopez’s corner asked referee Gary Rosato to stop the fight at 1:31 af runde fire. Watch the TKOHER.

“I put in a lot of hard work,” said Aleem, who now lives and trains in Las Vegas. “I didn’t see any film on the guy but knew he was a tough Mexican fighter. Once we got in there, I could see the speed difference. I could see his punches coming. I did rush some punches and made some mistakes. But it was good and I kept my hands up and my speed and movements were good. And I’m glad I stopped him. I didn’t want to go the distance.

“I want a world title fight and I’m knocking on the door. I’m hungry and I’m ready. I know Danny Roman just lost the title. Brandon Figueroa, whoever is there in the top-10 I’m ready for. I’m hungry and I’m coming and I want that fight.”

In the second fight of the four-fight telecast, Cleveland’s flashy unbeaten super lightweight Montana Love (13-0-1, 6 KOS) forbedret hans post til 2-0-1 påShoBox, putting in a professional display en route to a unanimous decision over Jerrico Walton (16-1, 7 KOS), who fights out of Houston by way of New Orleans. Dommerne scorede kampen 78-74 og 77-75 to gange. Watch fight highlightsHER

“I think Love did enough to win,” said SHOWTIME Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. “The rounds he won, he won more convincingly. Love did the serious damage in the fight.”

Walton, with noted trainer Ronnie Shields working his corner, threw slightly more punches than Love, but in a fight decided by big moments, Love had more of them, især i de sene runder. Love was more accurate on his power punches (43 percent to 21 procent) and in body shots (56-23). The southpaw also hurt Walton on two separate occasions, but the 29-year-old did enough to hang on and survive the rounds.

“I give my performance a C-plus,” said the 25-year-old Love. “I could have been more active in there. I didn’t get hit a lot and I hurt him a few times but I let him off the hook.

“I was getting off good shots, and the thing I’m mad about is that the fight should not have gone the distance. I’m ready for whatever’s next. My team is trying to get me to 135 pund. "

Walton was making his national television debut. “I think the fight was closer than it was scored; I think it was at least a draw,"Sagde han. “I don’t think the fight was 78-74. I’m very disappointed but I’m not going to stop. They’re going to see me again. This is only going to push me harder.”

With his first career loss, Walton became the 191st fighter to lose his undefeated record onShoBox, boxing’s ultimate proving ground.

In a battle of unbeaten super welterweights making theirShoBox debuts in the telecast opener, North Carolina’s Joseph Jackson (16-0, 12 KOS) handed Derrick Colemon, Jr. (11-1, 8 KOS) his first career loss. Jackson overcame a slow start to earn the unanimous decision. Pointene blev 77-75, 80-72, 78-74. Watch the decisionHER.

The younger and more aggressive Colemon of Detroit started strong, controlling the first three rounds before the savvier and more mature Jackson commanded the second half of the bout. In rounds six through eight, Jackson out-landed Colemon 76-19 overall and 50-9 på el-slag. Jackson’s movement and activity frustrated and tired Colemon, who went past five rounds for the first time in his career. Farhood scored the first three rounds in favor of Colemon and the final five rounds for Jackson.

“We just dug deep and got the job done,” said the 31-year-old Jackson. “I’d give my performance an eight out of 10. I know I can show better. I had about 40 people come out from Greensboro, N.C., and support me.

“I’ll fight whoever they put out in front of me next. It’s SHOWTIME and my first televised fight and first fight outside of North Carolina so it was important to put on a show.”

Friday’s fights were promoted by King’s Promotions in association with GH3 Promotions. Hele tv-udsendelsen afspilles på mandag, Februar 17 på 10 p.m. ET/PT på SHOWTIME EXTREME og vil være tilgængelig på SHOWTIME ALTID® og SHOWTIME på DEMAND®.
