PHILADELPHIA (Luglio 18, 2016) – Undefeated rising contender David “La bandiera rossa” Benavidez (15-0, 14 KO) is set to face super middleweight contender Denis Douglin (20-4, 13 KO) nel main event 10 round di Premier Boxing Champions su ESPN and ESPN Deportes Venerdì, Agosto 5 live from the 2300 Arena di Philadelphia.
Copertura Televised inizia 9 p.m. E/6 p.m. PT with exciting lightweight contender Alejandro “El Charro” Luna (20-0, 15 KO) taking on Ireland’s Stephen “The Rock” Ormond (21-2, 11 KO) in a 10-round attraction.
“We never stopped training after my last fight,” said Benavidez. “We went right back into camp and I’m already in fighting shape. Douglin is a tough southpaw. We’ll start looking at tape and see what kind of holes he has. I’ll start with the jab and break him down. We’re working hard towards bigger and bigger fights. This is going to be a great night of action.”
“I plan on applying pressure and making Benavidez adjust to my style,” said Douglin. “He’s a tall, strong fighter, but he doesn’t use his height. He’s one-dimensional, but he’s very good at what he does. He doesn’t have the experience to deal with my style. I am stepping in with an undefeated fighter but he will leave the ring with a loss.”
