Philadelphia’s Ennis (20-0, 18 KOs) has knocked out 10 consecutive opponents and was the 2015 National Golden Gloves Champion before turning professional in 2016. The 20-year-old former amateur standout will face his first undefeated opponent in Alvarez (18-0, 12 KOs), a native of the Florida Keys who has knocked out six of his last seven opponents.

Na co-metragem, undefeated lightweight Thomas Mattice (12-0, 10 KOs) returns to Iowa for his second ShoBox appearance of the year when he clashes with former Armenian amateur standout Zhora Hamazaryan (9-0, 6 KOs) em um ataque 10-round.

 

 

 

Também no cartão, undefeated super lightweight prospect Montana Love (11-0, 5 KOs) will take on former national amateur champion Kenneth Sims Jr. (12-1, 4 KOs) em um oito-redonda luta super leve.

JARON ENNIS vs. ARMANDO ALVAREZ – 10-Round Welterweight Bout

Ennis will debut on ShoBox following a statement second round knockout of former junior welterweight contender Mike Arnaoutis earlier this month, sua 10th consecutive KO victory. The Philadelphia native had a standout amateur career, notching an impressive record of 58-3 and winning the 2015 National Golden Gloves tournament. Ennis, who was ranked No. 1 as an amateur at 141 libras, narrowly missed the opportunity to represent the U.S. no 2016 Olympics after losing a box-off to Gary Antuanne Russell at the Olympic Trials.

 

 

 

“This is the opportunity I have been waiting for,” Ennis said. “I can’t wait to show the world my talent.”

 

 

 

Só 20 anos, Ennis currently trains under his father Derek “Bozy” Ennis Sr., who also trained his other sons Derek Jr. and Farah. The 5-foot-10 Ennis will be the third brother to appear on ShoBox; Derek Jr. appeared on the series in 2007, and Farah faced Badou Jack on the series in 2013.

 

 

 

“A win on this platform would mean everything,” Ennis continued. “From here on out, I want to fight only the big names in the division. I feel grateful for this opportunity to show the world my talents and skills. It’s great to follow in my brother’s footsteps, and I am ready to take the Ennis last name to the next level.”

 

 

 

The 28-year-old Alvarez turned professional in 2014 and has gradually increased his level of opposition. Alvarez, who now lives in Key West, compiled a 26-4 amateur record and won the Florida State Championship in 2013. His headlining fight with Ennis will be his second fight of 2018 and by far his toughest test to date.

 

 

 

“This is the biggest opportunity I have ever received,” Alvarez said. “This is it. It’s on. Ennis is a great young fighter, but I think he has stepped out of his league. He is just a kid. The world will find out who Armando Alvarez is on July 20.”

 

THOMAS MATTICE vs. ZHORA HAMAZARYAN – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout

A 27-year-old from Cleveland, Mattice turned pro in 2014 and had an amateur record of 72-18. He was a three-time Ohio State Golden Gloves Champion and bronze medal winner in the USA National Tournament in 2014.

 

 

 

Mattice will be making his second ShoBox appearance following a strong debut Feb. 2, when the undefeated lightweight rallied from behind to score a seventh round TKO of ShoBox veteran Rolando Chinea. Mattice has recorded five straight KOs and nine overall in 11 lutas profissionais.

 

 

 

“I am excited for the opportunity to showcase my talent again on ShoBox," Mattice said. “I’m going to go out there and do what I did before. I’m going to get a win, hopefully in knockout fashion. Esse cara (Hamazaryan) doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into.”

 

 

 

Undefeated lightweight prospect Hamazaryan, who signed with Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing in February, is originally from Armenia but fights out of Los Angeles. Part of a long line of Armenian fighters who have fought in the U.S., Hamazaryan won his U.S. debut on Feb. 16, when he scored a unanimous decision win over the previously unbeaten Sergio Ramirez. Prior to his win against Ramirez, all of Hamazaryan’s victories were earned in Russia.

 

 

 

The 22-year-old was considered the No. 1 fighter in Armenia after an amateur career that spanned over 200 lutas. Hamazaryan turned professional in 2015, turning down an opportunity to fight for the Armenian Olympic Team in 2016.

 

 

 

“This fight is very important for me, and I am very excited to be fighting on national television in America,” Hamazaryan said. “I know [Mattice] is undefeated but I normally don’t look at my opponent. I’m just looking to put on a great performance and make a statement for fans in the U.S.”

 

MONTANA LOVE vs. KENNETH SIMS JR. – Eight-Round Super Lightweight Bout

Cleveland native Love was an accomplished amateur who compiled a 174-13 registro e ganhou uma medalha de bronze no 2012 National Golden Gloves Championships. The 22-year-old recently sparred with Adrien Broner, and served as head sparring partner for Robert Easter Jr. before his lightweight title defense against Javier Fortuna on Jan. 20.

 

 

 

Love has won two consecutive bouts against lesser opposition since defeating Samuel Teah in his ShoBox debut on Feb. 2.

 

 

 

“I am excited and happy to be back,” Love said. “I want to put on another great performance. Sims and I grew up as amateurs together. Ele é um bom lutador, but I am hungry and want to keep rolling. I can’t let anything get in my way.”

 

 

 

Chicago native Sims makes his return to ShoBox just over a year after suffering the first loss of his career against Rolando Chinea via close majority decision in what was his toughest test to date. The 24-year-old Sims, who has sparred with Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, era um 2013 U.S. National Amateur Champion and a 2012 Olympic Trials semifinalist.

 

 

 

“I am happy to be back fighting after having surgery on my elbow that had been bothering me for the last year and a half,” Sims said. “This is my chance to prove that I’m back and the loss on ShoBox was a fluke. I remember Love from the amateurs and I know I have what it takes to beat him.”

“Nós dois batem um no outro monte um. eu bati (Romano) com alguns bons tiros, Eu simplesmente não podia acabar com ele. Eu era provavelmente ao redor 60 por cento de energia-wise. A partir da quinta rodada em diante eu tinha apenas lutar com coração puro.

“Eu não empurrá-lo. Eu acho que ele caiu com o seu próprio,”Granados disse. “Eu acho que ele estava procurando uma desculpa em seu caminho para fora. Nós dois estávamos lutando, mas eu sabia que ele podia sentir que eu estava ficando mais forte. Ele me pegou com um tiro e ele só me apareceu.

A transmissão Showtime Championship Boxing começa às 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and features super bantamweight world champion Daniel Roman defending his belt against unbeaten Moises “Chucky” Flores e ex-campeão do mundo Javier Fortuna chocando-se com Adrian Granados in a 10-round 140-pound special attraction, all of whom were in attendance at Thursday’s final press conference.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday ahead of the first boxing event to take place inside Ford Center at The Star:

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

 

 

I’m really happy to be here and I’m so happy that everyone came out. Saturday night is going to be great. Venho treinando para 10 weeks and I’m 100 percent focused on Ocampo. I’m here to do my job, which is to win and look good winning.

 

 

 

Ocampo is very dangerous because he has nothing to lose. It’s his first title fight, which is a position I’ve been in before. I had a lot of fire and I felt like I had nothing to lose. I’m sure he’s been training hard and is focused. I know he’s fighting for him family so he’s going to come to fight. I want a guy who’s going to test me so the crowd gets their money’s worth.

 

 

 

I’ve had pressure my whole boxing career. Being on Olympian and a top prospect was pressure, but then I also went overseas to take the title from a top fighter. I’ve always overcome the pressure on me and I’m going to overcome another test on Saturday night.

 

 

 

Every fight is a statement fight. Não importa o que eu estou lutando. All eyes are on me in the welterweight division. People want to see if there are chinks in my armor, so it’s important for me to put on a great performance and prove I’m the best welterweight in the division.

 

 

 

Dallas already is a boxing town, just not enough boxing comes here. I can be the star who has annual fights and bring the city out like we’re doing Saturday night. I’m going to prove we’re a boxing city in Dallas and that Texas is a boxing state period. I do this for the whole state.

 

 

 

We work hard every camp and we’re 100 percent dedicated. There hasn’t been much difference in this camp than normal. The sparring with Jermell Charlo was top quality and has me prepared for Saturday night.

 

 

 

I’m ready to line up those other champions. I’ve said that since I was 15-0. I want to fight every opponent and take them out no matter who it is. I’m here to prove that I’m the best in the division.

 

CARLOS OCAMPO

 

 

 

We’re here on the same stage and I’m ready. I’m appreciative to be here and I’m calm. I have nothing to lose. He has all the pressure of being in his hometown. I’m just relaxed and ready to fight.

 

 

 

I’ve studied his fights enough. What’s most important is that I know that he has everything to lose and I don’t. He has a home field advantage, mas no final do dia, it’s just two guys in the ring.

 

 

 

I’ve gotten a great reception from the people here in Dallas. I’ve been treated like a champion and after Saturday I’ll be a world champion. You don’t want to miss this fight.

 

 

 

He can try to come and knock me out, but this is my dream. This is what I’ve trained my whole life for and I’m not going to let this chance pass me by.

 

 

 

I’m going to use my height, distance and jab throughout the fight. The counter will be important for me. I’m going to look to catch him so he better be ready.

 

 

 

“Vou deixar tudo no ringue. I’m going to show what I have and give everyone a great performance from start to finish.

 

DANIEL ROMAN

 

 

 

Flores is a tough opponent. I don’t overlook anybody. I know he’s going to come in and fight. Defending my belt is the only thing that’s on my mind.

 

 

 

We work hard like always. The only thing that changes in camp is strategy, and we will be ready for anything Flores can bring.

 

 

 

We’re going to be ready for his pressure. I’m going to fight a smart fight. If we have a chance to take him out early, then I’m going to jump on it. You never know what could happen in a fight.

 

 

 

Flores is not an easy opponent. Nobody is at this level. I just work hard every day like it’s my first shot at a world title. I know that if I put in the work, everything will come together in the ring.

 

MOISES FLORES

 

Roman is a good fighter, that’s why we’re here. Hopefully on Saturday night he won’t be able to take my volume of punches. I’m going to bring pressure for every moment of the fight and we’ll see if he holds up.

 

 

 

Everyone knows that I like to come forward and make exciting fights. There will be drama and I’m expecting to come out of there with my hand raised.

 

 

 

On Saturday night I’m going to get redemption for everything that happened in my last fight and deliver a win and an exciting fight. This is a chance that I’ve worked and trained hard to get again.

 

JAVIER FORTUNA

 

 

 

Everyone knows what I can do here in the ring. I’m very glad to be here meeting Granados, because we’re going to give the fans a a great fight on Saturday that’s going to steal the show.

 

 

 

I know that Granados has fought a lot of top opposition, but on Saturday night, I’m going to be a different fighter than he’s ever seen in the ring.

 

 

 

This will be a battle. Everyone will see on fight night what the difference is between me and him. I’m a special fighter. I’m going to prove it again on Saturday.

 

ADRIAN GRANADOS

 

 

 

It’s been a long hard road to this fight. I know I have marks on my record, but I can easily say that I know all of them have been controversial. I’ve pushed through everything and I know that I’m truly respected as a fighter.

 

 

 

I’m always going to bring the same fire and determination to the ring. If my opponent is brave enough to stand with me, then it’s going to be all-action. De qualquer jeito, I’m coming to break him down and get the victory.

 

 

 

‘Recently I’ve gone against a lot of opposition that is naturally bigger than me, but I’ve never backed down or been afraid of any of them. This fight is going to prove that I belong in the upper echelon of boxing.

 

 

 

I’ve checked out Fortuna’s fights and he’s a scrapper. He likes to bang too in the ring just like I do. It’s all the recipes for a can’t miss fight.

 

Derrick James, Formador de Spence

 

 

 

I’m very happy to see everybody out here and we’re so glad that the fans are getting involved. This city means everything to me and Errol, so to bring a great night like this and have this huge reception from the fans, is a little bit of extra motivation.

 

 

 

I think we’re going to see a great fight. Ocampo is very tough opposition and Errol has trained very hard. We’re going to see the best Errol Spence on Saturday night and I’m sure we’ll see the best Carlos Ocampo, which should make for a fun night for the fans.

 

BRITTANY GOOSSEN BROWN, Vice President of TGB Promotions

 

 

 

We are so excited for Saturday night and to be bringing the first boxing event inside Ford Center at The Star. Dallas is a great fight town and who better to headline the first title fight here in 50 years than hometown favorite Errol Spence Jr.? He is sure to put on a great performance for his hometown fans.

 

 

 

It has truly been a pleasure to work with the entire Dallas Cowboys organization throughout this promotion and we hope this is just the start of bringing sellout crowds here to the heart of Texas. We can’t wait to see you all there on Saturday night.

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & Programação de eventos, Showtime Network Inc.

 

 

 

SHOWTIME is thrilled to be here at The Star for the first boxing event inside of Ford Center. Week after week and month after month, we’ve delivered the best fighters in the most meaningful fights to boxing fans. Saturday is the 11th SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING this year. These events have featured more than 15 lutas pelo título mundial, just in the first six months of the year. We’re doing more boxing and more high quality boxing than any other network by far.

 

 

 

Saturday is no exception, especially in terms of quality. Errol Spence Jr. is a consensus top five pound-for-pound fighter. He’s knocked out 10 straight fighters and it was 2014 when an opponent last went the distance. Errol is in many ways our Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys quarterback), he’s a young star, a fan favorite and we expect him to be one of the faces of the sport for years to come.

 

 

 

If you know of the tradition of Mexican fighters in this sport, then you know that Carlos Ocampo cannot be overlooked. He’s coming to win and that makes him very dangerous and should create an exciting fight.

 

 

 

Both of the opening bouts leading up to the main event on SHOWTIME are significant bouts with fighters that bring all action styles to the ring.

FRISCO, TEXAS (Junho 4, 2018) – campeão mundial super galo Daniel Roman irá defender seu cinturão contra o invicto Moises “Chucky” Flores Sábado, Junho 16 viver no canal Showtime da Ford Center at The Star em Frisco, Texas em um evento apresentado pela Premier Boxe Campeões.

 

 

 

O evento também vai ver o ex-campeão do mundo Javier Fortuna chocando-se com Adrian Granados em um 10-redonda de 140 libras especial atração que começa o Showtime Championship Boxing® transmissão em 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

Invicto campeão dos médios Errol “A Verdade” Spence, Jr. irá defender seu título mundial IBF em um regresso a casa-área de Dallas na instalação Dallas Cowboys contra o invicto desafiante obrigatório Carlos Ocampo no evento principal. Será o primeiro evento de boxe dentro do Ford Center e Spence primeira luta cidade natal como campeão do mundo.

 

 

 

Os ingressos para o evento, que é promovido pela Promoções TGB em associação com promoções Man Down, já estão à venda e podem ser comprados em www.SeatGeek.com.

 

 

 

“Este prepara-se para ser um cartão fantástico com a adição da luta pelo campeonato £ 122 entre Daniel Roman e Moises Flores e ex-campeão Javier Fortuna tomada em Adrian Granados em uma atração especial de 140 libras,” disse Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promoções. “Nenhum destes pugilistas têm reverter em sua caixa de engrenagens, que promete entreter batalhas para os fãs do The Star e aqueles que estão assistindo em casa no canal Showtime.”

 

 

 

A 27-year-old Roman (24-2-1, 9 KOs) estará fazendo sua segunda defesa do título da WBA £ 122-campeonato que ele ganhou com uma vitória por TKO sobre Shun Kubo setembro do ano passado no Japão. A 28-year-old, de Los Angeles, Calif., retornou ao Japão e fez sua primeira defesa do título com uma vitória por decisão unânime sobre Ryo Matsumoto em fevereiro deste ano. Roman entra nesta luta tendo vencido 16 lutas em linha reta.

 

 

 

“Todo mundo sabe que eu quero lutar com os melhores e Flores é lá em cima,” disse Roman. “Ele está invicto por uma razão e que ele é o número um challenger para o meu título. Eu não vou levá-lo de ânimo leve. Estou motivado para ser grande. Estou mais focado agora do que nunca. Eu não vou deixar Flores, ou qualquer outra pessoa tomar meu cinturão. O plano é simples. Pegá-lo para além rodada a rodada, assim como eu fiz em minhas outras lutas pelo título mundial.”

 

 

 

Flores (25-0, 17 KOs), de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, retorna aos ringues depois de um concurso não contra Guillermo Rigondeaux em uma luta que viu Flores bateu e bateu para fora com um tiro que foi inicialmente chamado jurídica, mas acabou por ser governado para ter vindo após o sino, fazendo assim com que a competição não. O jogador de 31 anos marcou uma vitória impressionante, com uma vitória por decisão sobre Oscar Escandon em 2015 que lhe rendeu um título £ 122-interino e seguiu-se com vitórias sobre lutadores anteriormente uma vez batido Luis Emanuel Cusolito e Paulus Ambunda.

 

 

 

“Eu vou fazer Daniel Roman lutar me a cada rodada até o final,” disse Flores. “Ele é um bom boxeador e um perfurador balcão, mas eu sou um guerreiro, então eu vou estar pronto para qualquer coisa que ele traz. Se ele não pode realizar-se a meu poder, em seguida, ele vai para baixo cedo. Este é um must-win e eu estou determinado a se tornar um campeão do mundo em 16 de junho.”

 

 

 

Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 KOs) ganhou o título de super pluma com uma decisão unânime contra Bryan Vasquez em 2015 e entra nesta luta olhando para se recuperar de uma perda decisão dividida para campeão dos leves Robert Páscoa, Jr. em janeiro no canal Showtime. A 28-year-old Fortuna, de La Romana, República Dominicana, não conseguiu fazer peso para a luta de Páscoa e agora vai buscar desafio na divisão de 140 libras.

 

 

 

“Eu sei que Adrian Granados é um guerreiro, mas isto quebra de luta em meu favor, porque eu sou simplesmente o melhor lutador,” disse Fortuna. “Eu respeito Granados’ estilo e eu sei que ele surpreende muita gente com sua resiliência no ringue. Estou totalmente preparado para fora-caixa-lo na noite da luta. Eu não estou preocupado com subir de peso ou porque uma vez que entrar no ringue, Eu vou ser o maior cara.”

 

 

 

A 28-year-old Granados (18-6-2, 12 KOs) acumulou uma reputação como um boxeador dispostos a aceitar todos os desafios e aquele que sempre empurrado seus adversários para a beira. Lutando fora de Chicago, ele olha para voltar a vencer com uma vitória sobre Fortuna. No ano passado, Granados perdeu uma decisão unânime para o ex-campeão dos médios Shawn Porter e uma decisão dividida para o campeão quatro divisão Adrien Broner. Antes dessas duas derrotas, Granados tinha reunido um cinco-jogo sequência de vitórias que incluiu uma vitória por TKO sobre Amir Imam.

 

 

 

“Javier Fortuna é um canhoto habilidoso, mas eu vou ser mais forte e melhor do que nunca para trás em 140 libras,” Disse Granados. “Eu sinto que posso nocautear qualquer um com esse peso. Depois que eu vencer Amir Imam, todos foi me esquivando-se a esta classe de peso. Vou fazer uma declaração sobre onde eu pertenço no boxe e dar aos fãs um grande show como sempre faço.”

Calderon to Face Crosstown Rival Martinez at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. na sexta-feira, Julho 6

Na Sexta-Feira, Julho 6, 2018, Heavyweight Factory Boxing promoter Kris Lawrence will continue his “Greatest Dark Series” in all of boxing with “Hometown Throwdown,” a night of world-class professional boxing highlighting 10 extremidades.

 

 

 

Taking place at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., the night’s main event will feature a 10-round crosstown rivalry showdown between undefeated Miami-based welterweights Harold “King” Calderon (16-0, 10 KOs) and John David “Pretty Boy” Martinez (10-0, 8 KOs). The pair have decided Miami isn’t big enough for two undefeated 147-lb. fighters and one of them will lose their “0” that night.

 

 

 

The co-main event will be the 10-round rubber match of an entertaining three-fight series between veteran Florida middleweights Joey “Twinkle Fingers” Hernandez (26-4-1, 16 KOs) and Ed “The Lion” Paredes (38-7-1, 25 KOs). Also featured in a showcase bout that night will be 19-year-old Hawaiian WBO-NABO Youth Super Lightweight Champion and WBO #13-rated contender Logan “The Korican Kid” Yoon (11-0, 11 KOs), who will face an opponent TBA.

 

 

 

Tickets for “Hometown Throwdown” cost $60, $100, $150, $250 e $500 VIP. Tickets are available through ticketmaster.com.

 

 

 

Thirty-year-old Calderon is a popular slugger of Honduran heritage. He enjoys a friendship with Miami Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso and has already been featured in several main events. The powerful southpaw was last seen in March, stopping veteran Ronald Montes in three impressive rounds.

 

 

 

Also a fan favorite, 29-year-old Martinez was 14-2 como amador, and won the 2009 Golden Gloves and Florida PAL Championships. In addition to fighting, Martinez is a successful entrepreneur. He trains at the world-famous 5th Street Gym under Dino Spencer. He was last seen in April stopping Felix Sandoval in two rounds at Casa de los Clubes in Santo Domingo, República Dominicana.

 

 

 

Hernandez vs. Paredes will be third meeting between the two fighters. They fought to a thrilling split draw in August 2009 and then again, on ESPN in February 2010 when Paredes scored a shocking KO 2 “Knockout of the Year” contender over Hernandez. It was southpaw Hernandez’s first career loss. The two fighters are not fans of each other. Their first two fights featured dirty tactics and body slams. They have also had to be separated at previous weigh-ins.

 

 

 

Nineteen-year-old Yoon, from Honolulu, won the WBO-NABO Youth Super Lightweight Championship by impressively battering Mexican former two-time world champion Juan Carlos Salgado over 10 rounds last March.

 

 

 

Expected special guests that evening include Heavyweight Factory regulars, former heavyweight champions Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe and Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield. Na noite da luta, the action starts at 7:15 p.m. Doors open one hour prior to start time. Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino está localizado na 1 Seminole Way em Hollywood, Fla.

DALLAS (Maio 30, 2018) – Invicto campeão mundial meio-médio Errol Spence Jr. hosted a media workout at his gym in Dallas Tuesday as he prepares for his homecoming title defense at Dallas Cowboys Headquarters against undefeated challenger Carlos Ocampo Sábado, Junho 16 viver no canal Showtime da Ford Center at The Star em Frisco, Texas em um evento apresentado pela Premier Boxe Campeões.

 

 

 

The IBF titleholder spoked to media at the R&R Boxing Club along with trainer Derrick James, as the two prepare for Spence’s second title defense after winning the title from then unbeaten champion Kell Brook last May.

 

 

 

Os ingressos para o evento, que é promovido pela Promoções TGB em associação com promoções Man Down, já estão à venda e podem ser comprados em www.SeatGeek.com.

 

 

 

Here is what Spence and James had to say Tuesday:

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

 

 

It feels good to be fighting back at home in Dallas. This is where I started and where my core fan base is. It’s great to fight in front of my people and even better that I can do it as a world champion now.

 

 

 

I wanted to make my first title defense in Dallas, but everything happens for a reason and now I have this great opportunity to fight at the Dallas Cowboys’ instalação. It’s an incredible venue that has everything you would want. It’s going to be a great atmosphere on June 16.

 

 

 

We’re working hard on our game plan and sharpening our skills in camp to make sure I’m the best version of myself when I step into the ring against Ocampo.

 

 

 

Timing is key in boxing. It’s more important than speed and it’s something I really focus on when I’m training. It’s timing and accuracy. You can be fast but if you don’t land, it doesn’t mean anything.

 

 

 

I’m a versatile fighter who is able to switch it up. I can box from the outside but also go on the inside. These are things that we’re always working on in the gym. Our opponent may bring something different than we expected into the ring, so we work on having a plan for everything.

 

 

 

It’s great to have another world champion like Jermell Charlo in camp with me. Iron sharpens iron and we just work hard every day so that we can push each other to the next level. All of that helps me become victorious.

 

 

 

I wouldn’t say I have one skill that sticks out the most in my arsenal. I’m a balanced boxer who can do everything. I can jab, throw a combo and show strong defense. I balance all of the attributes you need in the ring and that’s what makes me a great boxer.

 

 

 

I’ve been putting this division on notice for a while. Junho 16 is another day that we’re going to give another one-sided performance and dominate. I’ve had the welterweight division on notice since my first fight. They know I’m here.

 

 

 

Whoever wins the fight between Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter for the WBC title will have to fight me. I’m ready to unify. I’m ready to take the belt from either one of those guys.

 

Derrick James, Formador de Spence

 

 

 

Errol is an incredibly hard worker in the gym and he always has been. We’re just making sure he’s on task and able to be peaking on June 16. I have no worries that he’s going to be distracted by fighting at home.

 

 

 

There can definitely be a lot of distractions at home, but Errol is determined and I know he has the mentality that will allow him to put on his best performance. We’ve been preparing for anything Ocampo could possibly bring to the ring.

 

 

 

 

I’m excited that my two daughters will be able to come to the fight. This night is all about our community and giving everyone here something to cheer about. The city has indicated that they’re really coming out to support Errol and he’s going to reward them.

 

 

 

If we keep putting in the work like we have been, everything is going to come naturally on fight night. We’ve taken a look at what Ocampo likes to do and we’ll be ready. No final do dia, I think Errol is going to put on a great performance for this city.

LAS VEGAS, NV – LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will return to Arizona at the end of June. Two of the promotion’s most feared knockout artists are set for a showdown in the Valley of the Sun when they clash at LFA 44.

 

 

 

O evento principal do LFA 44 will bring the fireworks five days early this summer. The headliner will see Australia’s aesthetic annihilator MatthewThunder From Down UnderFrincu battle southern California’s grim sleeper Christian “The Beast” Aguilera in one of the most explosive showdowns of the year. LFA 44 – Frincu vs. Aguilera takes place Friday, June 29that the Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona. O card principal será transmitido ao vivo e em todo o país na AXS TV em 10 p.m. E / 7 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

I am excited to bring LFA back to Arizona on June 29th,” stated Soares. “Matthew Frincu is a sensational striker. He will face fellow knock out artist Christian Aguilera in the main event of LFA 44. They are two of the most dangerous welterweight prospects in the world and will be looking to make a big statement at the top of one of our most competitive divisions.

 

 

 

Ingressos para LFA 44 – Frincu vs. Aguilera are available for purchase NOW at Ticketmaster.com

 

 

 

Frincu (12-3) came to LFA last year as one of the most exciting exports hailing from The Land Down Under. He wasted no time in making a huge splash in his promotional debut at LFA 5. The native of Gold Coast, Australia assaulted Kris Hocum with a diverse and brilliant display of striking. “Thunder From Down Undertaught a masterclass on how to effectively utilize range and Muay Thai technique to dismantle a high-level grappler. He offered a crash course on the same subject ten weeks later, when he knocked out Brazilian prospect Maycon Mendonça in 96-seconds at LFA 11. Mais recentemente, Frincu stopped previously undefeated Mexican prospect Roman Alcantar via TKO in January at LFA 31. Now the awesome Aussie looks to derail one of the heaviest hitters in the division.

 

 

 

Aguilera (11-4) has earned a reputation for possessing some of the scariest one-punch knockout power in all of MMA. LFA officials caught a glimpse of his gift of putting people to sleep early in his career when he gave Timothy Quiroga a canvas nap in just 52-seconds at RFA 23. A lot has happened in the three years since that prophetic night in Orange County. To start, “The Beast” got older, he got bigger, and inconceivable to many, he became even more powerful. Not surprising to anyone, contudo, is his propensity to wield his gift like a young super-hero discovering his ability for the first time. This has left a path of destruction in 2018 trailing 83 miles in California from Costa Mesa (LFA 30) to Cabazon (LFA 36). Aguilera looks to extend that path to Phoenix, Arizona on June 29th.

 

 

 

The co-main event of LFA 44 will feature an intrastate superfight when two-time LFA standout Casey Kenney (8-1-1) battles three-time UFC veteran Roman Salazar (12-6). Ano passado, Casey won a regional flyweight title before signing with LFA. After making his LFA debut last May, he competed twice in front of UFC President Dana White on the UFC bossTuesday Night Contender Series. Casey returned to LFA in January with a dominant Unanimous Decision victory over Kendrick Latchman at LFA 31. He now looks to make a bigger statement by moving up a weight class to face one of Arizona’s most seasoned bantamweight forces.

 

 

 

That would be the man known asEl Gallito”. Salazar was signed by the UFC in 2014 after winning multiple regional titles in Arizona in multiple weight classes. He competed three times for the industry leader, which includes a bout at UFC 184 against Japanese MMA legend Kid Yamamoto in Yamamoto’s final fight. Mais recentemente, Salazar has reasserted his dominance in his home state with a pair of TKO victories. Salazar now looks to continue his resurgence with a marquee win over one of MMA’s most highly-touted prospects. Salazar hails from Mammoth, Arizona and will face Kenney of Tucson, Arizona in one the state’s biggest showdowns of the year.

 

Cartão principal atualmente anunciado (Televisado na AXS TV em 10 p.m. E / 7 p.m. PT):

 

Main Event | Welterweight Bout (170 lbs)

– Matthew Frincu (12-3) vs. Christian Aguilera (11-4)

 

Co-Main Event | Bantamweight Bout (135 lbs)

Casey Kenney (8-1-1) vs. Roman Salazar (12-6)

 

 

 

LFA 44 will serve as the fourth LFA event to take place in the state of Arizona. All of these events have taken place in the Grand Canyon State’s capital city of Phoenix. Mais informações sobre LFA 44 será anunciado em breve. Todo o cartão principal do LFA 44 será transmitido ao vivo em todo o país e na TV AXS em 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT.

Em 2017 RFA e Legacy FC se fundiram para formar LFA, a principal organização de desenvolvimento em Mixed Martial Arts. As forças combinadas do LFA lançaram as carreiras de mais 130 athletes to reach the pinnacle of MMA by competing in the UFC.

Undefeated Welterweight Gerome Quigley battles Raymond Serrano for USBA and WBC United States Welterweight titles on Saturday, June 16th at Gardens Ice House in Laurel, Maryland

 

 

LAUREL, MARYLAND (MAIO 21, 2018)–Welterweight Gerome Quigley will look to stay perfect when he takes on tough Raymond Serrano in a 10-round battle for the USBA and WBC United States titles on Sábado, June 16th em The Gardens Ice House em Loureiro, Maryland.

 

 

 

The show is promoted by Jeter Promotions and GQ Promotions.

 

 

 

Quigley of Montgomery Village, Maryland has an unblemished mark of 18-0 com 16 nocautes, and is one of most underrated contenders in the world. He states that he will be ready for his toughest bout to date.

 

 

 

I don’t know much about him other then he is tough and durable. This will be a good test for me, and I am stepping to the next level with this fight. Serrano is battled tested, so that should bring out the best in me,” said Quigley.

 

 

 

Despite having nearly a 90% relação nocaute, Quigley feels that he is more a of a boxer then a fight that is just looking for the knockout.

 

 

 

I look at myself as a boxer-puncher. I am well balanced. When people see my record, they may look at me as just a puncher because of all of the knockouts, when the reality is that I am a boxer. I have more boxing ability then punching ability.

 

 

 

This fight is a chance for Quigley to get on the map be mentioned with the top welterweights in the world.

 

 

 

A win would get me in the mix and guarantee me a spot in the top-10 or top-15 of the WBC and IBF. It will put the world on notice about who I am as a fighter.

 

 

 

Quigley has been plying his trade in the Beltway area (Quigley has fought in Germany 3 vezes) while slowly stepping up his competition level. Now he feels that he is ready to ascend on the national and world stages.

 

 

 

I was staying low-key and build up my record and maybe sneak up on somebody. I was promoting my own fights. I saw this model that (show co-promoter) Tony Jeter used. He is an inspiration for what I have done. He promoted himself. He got ranked twice in the top-15 and got himself some major fights. eu sinto, especially with this win, I can do that.

 

 

 

Even though the stakes are high for this bout, Quigley is fighting for more than just two belts and a world ranking.

 

 

 

If all goes well, I can bring my Fiance and two kids here. They are living in Frankfurt, Alemanha, and I can bring them back here.

 

 

 

Quigley was 68-5 como amador, and was a 2-time United States open champion, as well as a 2007 semifinalist at the National PAL Tournament.

 

 

 

A stacked undercard with 6 undefeated fighters seeing action.
