NEF ANNOUNCES THE FIRST PRO FIGHT SIGNED FOR DEBUT CARD IN ORONO

Voor onmiddellijke publicatie: Orono, Maine (Juli 11, 2019) - New England Fights (NEF) will debut in Orono on September 7, 2019 at the Collins Center for the Arts with the promotion’s next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 40: School of Hard Knocks.” Eerder vandaag, NEF announced the first professional fight signed for the card. “De Jamaicaanse klaver” Ras “Rasquatch” Hylton (4-2) zal op zich te nemen Chris Sarro (0-0) in een cruiserweight bout.

Ras Hylton is coming off a big win last April over Charles Penn (0-1) in Portland, Maine. The doctor stopped that fight in the first round when a cut over Penn’s eye could not be closed. Hylton opened the gash with a straight right hand that left blood pouring down to the mat.

Hylton is a mainstay of the NEF heavyweight and cruiserweight divisions. The 6’6athlete holds a second-degree black belt in Shotokan karate. He currently trains with Dragon Fire Martial Arts in Portland and First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine.

I am quite fortunate to be at the point in my career when I’m called upon to introduce new professionals to our work experience,” zei Hylton.  “Boxers like my opponent offer a great risk with their familiarity in the pocket and at distance, so of course we’ll both be more than happy to trade our best shots for the win! I love the arts, but it’s in the fighting aspects of martial arts that competitors like us truly live and find purpose. So we train like our lives depend on it, because to us, that’s how it is. Welcome to the school of hard knocks, Chris. MMA 101 is now in session.

As noted by Hylton, his opponent Chris Sarro may be a newcomer to the MMA cage, but he is no stranger to the world of combat sports. Sarro made a name for himself as an amateur boxer with a record of 7-1. He captured the 2019 Northern New England Golden Gloves championship in the superheavyweight division. A native of Ellsworth, Maine, Sarro currently represents Acadia Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

“I’m just excited to fight close to home,” said Sarro.  “Orono feels like my backyard. Come September 7th, I’m going to show the world there’s a new heavyweight in town. This is my time.”

New England Fights’ volgende mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 40: SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS,” zal plaatsvinden zaterdag, September 7, 2019 at the Collins Center for the Arts at the University of Maine as the promotion debuts in Orono, Maine. Tickets are on sale now atwww.collinscenterforthearts.com.

HEAVYWEIGHTS WALLIN AND FLORES BOTH EXPECTING VICTORY WHEN THEY CLASH ON SHOBOX: DE NIEUWE GENERATIE VRIJDAG, Juli 12 LEVEN OP Showtime

NEW YORK – July 9, 2019 –Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin says he has too many physical advantages, while former world title challenger BJ Flores says he has too much experience to lose their upcoming 10-round clash.



WBA No. 5-ranked Wallin (20-0, 13 KO) and Flores (34-4-1, 21 KO) will meet this Friday, Juli 12, in the co-featured bout of a ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader telecast (live op Showtime 10 p.m. ET / PT) from the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Wassen.



Presented by Salita Promotions and Brian Halquist Productions, “Battle at the Boat 122” will also feature top American heavyweight prospect Jermaine Franklin (18-0, 13 KO), from Saginaw, Mich., returning for his second consecutive ShoBox test against the streaking Jerry Forrest (25-2, 19 KO), van Newport News, Va., in the 10-round headliner and in the opening televised bout, undefeated featherweight Giovanni Mioletti (16-0, 7 KO) of Chicago will face Ecuador’s Luis Porozo (14-0, 7 KO).



The 28-year-old Wallin, a southpaw from Sundsvall, Zweden, says he’s been expanding his horizons working with trainer Joey Gamache at Mendez Boxing in Manhattan.



“Training has been very good. I have been back in New York for six weeks now and I’ve had some great sparring with a lot of different guys and different styles,” said 28-year-old Wallin. “Sparring is the best training you can get. It’s the most like a fight, so just getting in with all these different guys is a great experience.”



Undefeated Wallin says he’s got too much of everything for former cruiserweight Flores in this fight.



“BJ Flores is a guy that’s experienced, but I know what to do,'Zei Wallin. “I have the tools to beat him. He’s good as a cruiserweight, but this is a heavyweight fight. It’s different than being a good cruiser. I will win because I’m a better boxer with better skills. I’m too big, young and strong for him. I always get nervous before a fight, but that’s part of it. Being nervous makes me sharper. I will eventually break him down.”



It’s been something of a whirlwind career for Wallin, who turned pro as the number one heavyweight on the Swedish National team after just 50 amateur gevechten. Heavily courted by promoters for his immense natural talent, Wallin now finds himself signed with Salita Promotions and in the top 5 of the WBA ratings after 20 pro gevechten.



He credits trainer Gamache, himself a popular former fighter, with much of his success.



“Joey used to live in Denmark and so did I,'Zei Wallin. “That’s where we met six years ago. I followed him back to the US when he came back and I signed with Salita at the beginning of this year. We have a great relationship. I love him as a coach and as a person He’s done a lot for me including bringing me over here and making all these connections. I trust him 100% and he trusts me too.”



Wallin says having a great team behind him means ramping up his quest for a world championship.



“I want to have three or four fights this year. I haven’t had that many fights the last couple years, so it’s important to me to stay busy. Volgend jaar, I’ll be looking for a bigger fight. I’m very excited about everything that is happening.”



The 40-year-old Flores, originally from Arizona, says preparations went surprisingly well for this fight.



“Training couldn’t have gone better,'Zei Flores. “I had eight good weeks of training and I have zero injuries. Om eerlijk te zijn, I thought camp would be tougher, but everything bounced back nicely. I’ve been sparring for seven weeks. I normally have something nagging on fight week, but I sparred 10 rounds Saturday. I sparred four rounds today. ik heb 22 rounds in since last Wednesday and I feel great.”



Bloemen, a two-time world cruiserweight title challenger, says Wallin will be facing a totally different type of opponent than the ones he’s used to.



“He’s never been tested by a guy who thought he could win. Everybody he’s fought came in as an opponent. That’s not to say he’s not good, but I’m the first fighter on his resume coming in expecting to win and I’ve been in with far better opposition.



“I feel like once I get him in the middle rounds and show him he’s in with somebody who is not going anywhere, that’s when we will find out what he’s made of. My experience and game plan are perfect for testing an untested guy. Just because he’s untested doesn’t mean he can’t fight, but we’re going to find out Friday night.”



Contrary to most fighters’ preference, Flores says he’s happy Wallin is a left-handed fighter.



“I’ve been sparring nothing but tall southpaws. In feite, I haven’t sparred an orthodox fighter in nine weeks. I prefer to fight southpaws. It’s better for my punch selection to fight a southpaw. I’ve never had a problem with it and I’ve never lost to one.”



Now a 16-year pro, Flores says he won’t be worried if the younger fighter comes out with some early aggression.



“If he wants to start fast, that’s OK. I don’t care about the first two or three rounds. The real fight starts after the fourth round. I plan on winning the early rounds, but even if I don’t, it doesn’t matter until we get in the middle rounds. I’m going to attack and be aggressive and go up and down on him. Get him to the middle rounds and see where he’s at. I know where I’m at. I’ve been in with the best heavyweights and cruiserweights in the world over the last 15 jaar. I feel great and I’m ready.”



Barry Tompkins zal de actie van de eerste rang te bellen met boksen historicus Steve Farhood en voormalig wereldkampioen Raul Marquez die als deskundige analisten. De uitvoerend producent is Gordon Hall met Richard Gaughan produceren en Rick Phillips regisseren.

You’re going to see a world class performance on July 20 that has me standing alone on top of the division.” – Thurman

ST. PETERSBURG, FL. (Juli 8, 2019) – Keith “Een Keer” Thurman’s victories have always been the center of conversation. Even with nine championship fights and eight title defenses already under his belt, his Saturday, Juli 20 fight against Manny Pacquaio could prove to be the most significant, as he steps onto boxing’s biggest stage looking to capture a momentous victory.

Pacquiao vs. Thurman will pit the undefeated WBA Welterweight World Champion Thurman against boxing’s only eight-division world champion and Philippine Senator MannyPacManPacquiao in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Coming off a majority decision over Josesito Lopez that ended a 22-month ring absence in January, Thurman (29-0, 22 KO), 30, had won a close unanimous decision over former title holder “Show Time” Shawn Porter in June 2016 and a split-decision over two-division title winner Danny “Gierzwaluw” Garcia in March 2017, adding Garcia’s WBC crown to his WBA version, before he vacated the WBC title due to injury.

Thurman broke down all of his title performances in anticipation of the fight that could cement his place amongst boxing’s best of this era.

KO 10 Diego Chaves, Juli 27, 2013, AT&T Center, San Antonio: The 24-year-old Thurman came off a near-shutout unanimous decision over former champion Jan Zaveck in March 2013 and faced an unbeaten Argentine interim WBA champion who was after his fifth consecutive stoppage win and had knocked out 18 van 22 tegenstanders.

Thurman traded early power shots, controlled tempo with his athleticism and boxing ability and floored Chaves with a ninth round left hook to the liver before dropping him for the final time with a right hand in the 10th ronde. Chaves failed to beat the count as Thurman became a 147-pound titleholder.

The Diego Chaves fight was the biggest fight of my career, elevating me to the WBA interim champion,” Said Thurman. “I broke him down round by round and landed a beautiful body shot in the ninth round and after that it was a matter of time. That was a fight that earned me worldwide respect and was the start of everything for me.

WHO 9 Jesus Soto Karass, December 14, 2013, Alamodome, San Antonio:Soto Karassprevious victory was a 12th-round stoppage of two-time belt holder Andre Berto in a fight that saw him rise from an 11th-round knockdown. Hurt by a hard right in the first round, Thurman recovered, flooring Soto Karass with a left uppercut in the fifth and again from a powerful combination in the ninth as the referee ended matters.

Soto Karass was coming off a victory over Andre Berto which made it an important measuring stick fight for me,” Said Thurman, “He did open the fight by tagging me in the first round, but I dropped him in the fifth and again in the ninth and was able to finish him off for my first title defense.


RTD 3 Julio Diaz, April 26, 2014, StubHub Center, Carson, Calif: In a one-sided beat-down, former champion Diaz took a knee from a left to the temple the second round and retired prior to the fourth from a body shot that caused rib damage. Diaz never fought again.

That was a tremendous fight for me as the headliner in my first main event,” Said Thurman. “Diaz was coming off of good showings against Shawn Porter, fighting Porter to a draw once, and Amir Khan, whom he dropped in their fight. I also had the opportunity to make a statement. I did that by stopping him in only three rounds.

UD 12 Leonard Bundu, December 13, 2014, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas: A previously unbeaten 40-year-old switch-hitting veteran, Bundu (31-1-2, 11 KO) was dropped by a first-round right hand in a shutout victory (120-107 drie keer) for Thurman who ended an eight-month ring absence and was recovering from an injured left shoulder.


Bundu was a switch-hitting awkward fighter. I switched [to southpaw] on him in the first round and dropped him with a right hand,” Said Thurman. “I out boxed him and really gave the world a taste of how good of a boxer I am. It was an easy blowout.

UD 12 Robert Guerrero, Maart 7, 2015, the MGM Grand Grand Garden Arena: Thurman entered this bout after having been elevated to the full champion before facing Guerrero (32-3-1, 18 KO), a two-division title winner. He overcame a grotesque hematoma above his left eye from an accidental clash of heads, gedaald “The Ghost” in the ninth-round, and lost a combined four rounds in PBC’s first ever main event.

Guerrero had fought Floyd Mayweather and I was happy to have a common opponent with Floyd, so that I could prove to the world that I deserved a shot at Mayweather,” Said Thurman. “I had to overcome that adversity of having that hematoma by knocking him down in the ninth round. That fight really raised my stock to another level.

RTD 7 Luis Collazo, Juli 11, 2015, USF Sundome, Tampa: Thurman overcame a crippling left hand to the liver in the fifth round to become only the man to stop Collazo, a former champion who had gone the distance in losses to Ricky Hatton, Shane Mosley, Andre Berto and Amir Khan. In a homecoming fight, Thurman opened a deep gash over Collazo’s right eye with his own left hook, eventually resulting in the southpaw’s retiring on his stool after the seventh round.

I was able to survive that body shot to perform in the next round. The fight was taking its toll on him though. I was becoming more comfortable and accurate as I physically broke him down,” Said Thurman. “The arena was electric, and the love was amazing. It was a great homecoming to defend my world title near where I grew up in Clearwater, Florida.”

UD 12 Shawn Porter, Juni 25, 2016, Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York:Thurman overcame a bullish former champion in Porter (26-2-1, 16 KO) before an electric crowd, winning a give-and-take, blood-and-guts brawl by scores of 115-113, Op alle drie de rechters’ kaarten. Highlights were Thurman’s clean right hand-left hook combination that buckled Porter’s knees late in the third round, a 10th-round left hook that did the same, and an even more vicious head-swiveling hook in Round 11 of a Fight of The Year standout from 2016.

Our fight was tough, back and forth, but by no means was Shawn Porter going to take my title,” Said Thurman. “I pushed myself over the final rounds to make sure I’d be victorious in what was one of the ‘Fight of The Yearcontenders that year. That fight proved to everyone that I can win any type of fight, against any type of fighter.

SD 12 Danny Garcia, Maart 4, 2017, Barclays Center: Thurman won a clash of 28-year-olds over the then unbeaten Garcia (33-0, 19 KO), along with the WBC’s crown in just the 10th title unification in division history and only the third between a pair of unbeaten fighters. The crowd of 16,533 represented the highest attended boxing match at Barclays Center to date. Thurman’s movement disrupted the timing of Garcia, a Philadelphia-based fighter who was a unified champion at 140-pounds.

This was two undefeated welterweights going toe-to-toe in the prime of their careers. Danny Garcia’s a sharp puncher who won the WBC’s vacant title that Floyd Mayweather gave up for retirement,” Said Thurman. “But after beating Shawn Porter, I knew Danny would be an easy fight. This was my first chance to beat an undefeated world champion, and I came out swinging on him in round one to make a statement that his world title was about to be mine.

MD 12 Josesito Lopez, Januari 26, 2019, Barclays Center: Thurman ended an injury-hampered 22-month ring absence against Lopez (36-8, 19 KO), scoring a second-round knockdown with a left hook, being hurt by a right hand in the seventh, and using his mobility and athleticism down the stretch for the victory.

I was really nervous about making weight after walking around at 182 for the past two years,” Said Thurman. “But even though I got hit and hurt in the seventh round, I knew my boxing ability would get me through. It was a relief to make it through that fight feeling strong and healthy and I’ve taken those feelings right into this training camp.

Manny Pacquiao (61-7-2, 39 KO), Juli 20, 2019, the MGM Grand Garden Arena: The 40-year-old Pacquiao has earned back-to-back victories over former champions by seventh-round TKO over Lucas Matthysse (Juli 2018) and unanimous decision Adrien Broner (Januari).

Does Manny belong in the ring with a fighter in his prime? Is Keith Thurman still Keith ‘One TimeThurman after some vulnerability against Josesito Lopez?” Said Thurman, rhetorically speaking. “Natuurlijk, I’d like to get the knockout or TKO, but either way, you’re going to see a world class performance that has me standing alone on top of a division that has so many great fighters. I’m trying to be that great, devastating champion once again, and come July 20, I will prove that I am.

UD 12 Leonard Bundu, December 13, 2014, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas: A previously unbeaten 40-year-old switch-hitting veteran, Bundu (31-1-2, 11 KO) was dropped by a first-round right hand in a shutout victory (120-107 drie keer) for Thurman who ended an eight-month ring absence and was recovering from an injured left shoulder.


Bundu was a switch-hitting awkward fighter. I switched [to southpaw] on him in the first round and dropped him with a right hand,” Said Thurman. “I out boxed him and really gave the world a taste of how good of a boxer I am. It was an easy blowout.

UD 12 Robert Guerrero, Maart 7, 2015, the MGM Grand Grand Garden Arena: Thurman entered this bout after having been elevated to the full champion before facing Guerrero (32-3-1, 18 KO), a two-division title winner. He overcame a grotesque hematoma above his left eye from an accidental clash of heads, gedaald “The Ghost” in the ninth-round, and lost a combined four rounds in PBC’s first ever main event.

Guerrero had fought Floyd Mayweather and I was happy to have a common opponent with Floyd, so that I could prove to the world that I deserved a shot at Mayweather,” Said Thurman. “I had to overcome that adversity of having that hematoma by knocking him down in the ninth round. That fight really raised my stock to another level.

RTD 7 Luis Collazo, Juli 11, 2015, USF Sundome, Tampa: Thurman overcame a crippling left hand to the liver in the fifth round to become only the man to stop Collazo, a former champion who had gone the distance in losses to Ricky Hatton, Shane Mosley, Andre Berto and Amir Khan. In a homecoming fight, Thurman opened a deep gash over Collazo’s right eye with his own left hook, eventually resulting in the southpaw’s retiring on his stool after the seventh round.

I was able to survive that body shot to perform in the next round. The fight was taking its toll on him though. I was becoming more comfortable and accurate as I physically broke him down,” Said Thurman. “The arena was electric, and the love was amazing. It was a great homecoming to defend my world title near where I grew up in Clearwater, Florida.”

Our fight was tough, back and forth, but by no means was Shawn Porter going to take my title,” Said Thurman. “I pushed myself over the final rounds to make sure I’d be victorious in what was one of the ‘Fight of The Yearcontenders that year.

Boksen bracht Lamont Ingram terug uit de diepste diepten van wanhoop om terug te geven aan risicojongeren

COLORADO SPRINGS, Ronde. (Juli 8, 2019) – Voormalig boksen vooruitzicht Lamont Ingram is hel op aarde overleefd, die onder hem te verliezen vrijwel alles in zijn leven, en nu is hij terug te geven aan risicojongeren in Jackson, Tennessee.


Vorige maand, Ingram werd geselecteerd meest opmerkelijke Scheidsrechter van USA Boxing 2019 Olympics Nationale Junior.

herstel van Ingram's is ronduit ongelooflijk, zeker gezien het feit dat hij ging van een uitstekende amateur-bokser, die met succes in nationale amateur toernooien meegedaan, dakloosheid, blindheid in beide ogen, twee mislukte zelfmoordpogingen en, jammer genoeg, veel meer wanhoop.

“Ik ben niet langer schamen voor wat ik ging door, want het maakte me de man die ik nu ben,” de 38-jarige Ingram zei. “Mijn leven was zo hard dat ik schaamde over praten zo lang. Ik begrijp nu dat mijn strijd zijn mijn getuigenis voor de volgende persoon om te zien dat hij of zij het kan maken als ze blijven proberen.

“Boksen is alles wat ik wist, maar ik kon niet zien uit één oog (hoornvlies letsel) dat ontwikkeld op de leeftijd van 19. Ik ben boos op God en wilde met pensioen te gaan. Ik kreeg depressief en begreep niet waarom dit was gebeurd. In 2008, Ik werd dakloos de eerste keer met nergens om te gaan. ik ben alles kwijt, waaronder mijn familie, en dan ging (wettelijk) blind in het andere oog. Vervolgens, God vertelde me om te werken met kinderen, en ik opende ook de non-profit half huis.

“Boksen heeft me geleerd hoe om nooit op te geven hoe hard het wordt. In 2013, Ik heb alles verloren voor de tweede keer: mijn zaak, mijn familie, alles…..en ik ging weer dakloos. Maar ik heb nooit opgaf! Volgend jaar, toen iedereen zei dat het voorbij was voor mij, God gaf me alles terug keer twee. Ik verloor het gebouw was ik in, maar uiteindelijk vond ik een ander gebouw. Ik had geen geld en ik verloor dat gebouw in 2013. God gaf het terug naar me in 2016, wanneer de man die het gekocht, gaf het terug naar mij. Nu, Ik heb de enige twee federale en staat halverwege huizen in Tennessee voor speciale en de algemene bevolking met meer dan 50 bedden. Ik ben meestal op capaciteit de hele tijd met mensen die dat hebben gedaan 50 jaar kalender die aan degenen die vijf jaar hebben gedaan.”

Ingram exploiteert de Second Chance “Nieuw begin” Halfway House en daklozenopvang, evenals de Team Ingram Boxing & Mentorprogramma.

Lamont begonnen met boksen toen hij 14, omdat hij altijd uiterst gepest de punt van zijn hoofd sloeg tegen een muur, geworpen in een vuilnisbak, en sprong op herhaaldelijk door anderen. Ingram's moeder stuurde hem naar een bokscoach, Rayford Collins, die bleek te zijn misschien wel de meest levensveranderende momenten van zijn leven.

“Ik vond het boksen,” Lamont herinnerde. “Ik was niet de beste bokser, maar ik heb sloeg een aantal goede boksers. Ik was een zeer vastberaden jonge man, hoewel. Ik was 58-10 met 35 knockouts als een amateur bokser. Ik heb mijn speciaal onderwijs middelbare school diploma en later ben ik afgestudeerd aan Kaplan University met een 3.7 GPA in Business and Chemical Dependency.

“De meeste kinderen (in het boksen programma) kan zich niet veroorloven de vergoeding aan onze zomerkamp of boksen programma nu gaande. We geven ze een gratis ontbijt en lunch. Ik dit echt genieten, maar ik had nooit gedacht dat ik zou doen wat ik doe.”

Team Ingram Boxing Club & Mentoring Program werd opgericht in 2017, na lange strijd Ingram's geassocieerd met hem niets te maken met boksen te willen, omdat hij geloofde dat God had hem verkeerd voor het wegnemen van wat hij graag deed gedaan en was goed in, boksen. Toen zijn amateur coach, Collins, overleden in 2016, Lamont besloten om een ​​grotere rol in de sportschool te nemen, to the point was hij er elke dag.

“Om een ​​of andere reden wilde ik graag deel van uitmaken en helpen als mijn coach mijn leven gered had geholpen,” Ingram uitgelegd. “Boksen heeft me geholpen. Mijn coach was erg stevig, strikte en zeer gedisciplineerd, maar hij hield van ons en wilde alleen maar het beste voor ons. We hebben zo veel succesverhalen die variëren van degenen die niemand kon verwerken, voor degenen die F's op school gehad, plus degenen die geen hoop had op alle. Deze jongeren zijn mijn wereld; Ik zie mezelf en ik weet dat verandering mogelijk is, omdat ik veranderd.

“Het uiteindelijke doel van mijn programma is om het leven vaardigheden die zal gaan met elke jongere gedurende hun individuele levens als het heeft voor mij inboezemen. Ik begrijp dat niet iedereen een Olympisch kampioen zal zijn, of maak de VS Olympisch Team, uitgegroeid tot nationale of wereldkampioen. Ze kunnen een stuk dat het zaad dat degene die ze zaaiden het aan nooit vertrekt zaait zijn.”

Ingram is een geregistreerd USA Boxing coach en de officiële voor drie jaar. Nadat hij een niveau 2 officieel, hij werd gekozen om de laatste dag van de scheidsrechter 2018 Eastern Qualifier, een zeldzame prestatie voor een relatief onervaren officiële, op zijn zachtst gezegd. In 2019, hij richtte bij de Westelijke Qualifier en gerangschikt No. 9 uit 100, die een ongekende prestatie voor gelijke 2 officieel.

“Boksen heeft mijn leven gered en het veranderde mijn leven,” Ingram geclaimd. “Ik had een slechte woedeprobleem. Ik wilde niet luisteren en ik was respectloos naar mijn ouders en gezagsdragers. Ik bleef in de problemen, intensieve proef, of opgesloten in juveniele aanhoudingen centra.

“Ik ben een respectvolle, nederige en toegewijde ambtenaar die houdt van boksen en kijken naar mensen hun doelen te bereiken. Mensen altijd vertelde me wat ik niet kon doen; boksen liet me wat ik kon doen.”

En talloze jonge mannen en vrouwen in Tennessee en de mid-Zuid, niet alleen Lamont, zijn de begunstigden van vandaag van werkelijk opmerkelijke metamorfose Lamont Ingram.

Brandon Adams Proves He Belongs on the World Stage

PHILADELPHIA / LOS ANGELES – Juli 1, 2019 -This past Saturday night, Brandon Adams announced himself as a top contender as he put on a gutsy performance against undefeated WBC World Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo in Charlo’s hometown of Houston.


The bout was the main event that and was televised live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®, in which Adams gave a strong account for himself.


Adams took some of the best shots that the power punching Charlo could throw, and not only was Adams never hurt in the fight, in the later rounds, he began to take the fight to the hometown champion.


I was ready to risk it all. I went into the fight looking to dominate and get the stoppage victory. I knew going into the fight that is what I needed to do going into his hometown,” Said Adams.


Adams was not in the least intimidated by stepping into enemy territory, but there were a few things that happened during the fight that he did not expect which hindered his gameplan.


The referee would not let me get low. As you saw during the fight, I was crouching down to get inside, but the referee gave me a warning for doing that. I had to think of a different way to get in there without revealing myself,” continued Adams.


Hoewel, the television announcers and many on social media seemed surprised at the gutsy effort from Adams, the Watts, California native was very confident of his abilities as he entered the ring on Saturday night.


“Ik voel me goed. I knew I was capable of being on that level. I took out of the fight is that there are a few little things that I can work on and that I could have done in there. I did not know the referee would not let me get low or even let us fight in close as much as I wanted. I felt he would break us a little quickly. I also got hit in the back of the head a couple of times. Fighting in his hometown was tough.


I know this fight will help me better myself. Coming out of The Contender, my goal was to fight at 154 pond, but this was a world title opportunity. I proved that I am on that level at 160, and I will now look for the best opportunities at both 154 and 160.


We are very proud of Brandon. He fought very hard and put on a great performance,” said Artie Pelullo of Banner Promotions. “Brandon proved that he is a world class fighter, and now the world has seen what we already knew, that he is on the elite level. There will be many doors that will be open for him to secure more big fights.


I was impressed on how Brandon performed,” said Jeff Wald, Co-Creator and Co-Executive Producer of The Tournament of Contenders. “He has a big career ahead of him at both 154 en 160 pond.”
