An excellent boxer-puncher and tactician that likes to counter, Lopez won his ShoBox debut in his outing before last with a close, hard-fought 10-round majority decision over previously undefeated, dominicainEliezer Aquino (17-0-1 allant dans). Lopez is coming off a second-round TKO over Eric Aiken dernier Décembre. 12.
Lopez was born in Phoenix, raised in Los Angeles and moved to San Antonio when he was 15. Il est allé 125-23 in the amateurs and won six national championships before turning pro in February 2012. He’s trained by former two-time world champion Carlos "Famoso" Hernandez.
Munoz will be making his United States debut and first start outside of Mexico. A pro since September 2010, he’s known for his come-forward style, first-rate overall skills and proficient punching power. Il est allé 140-10 dans les amateurs, winning three national Junior Olympic tournaments and coming away with bronze and silver medals in national championships.
Munoz, who hails from a fighting family, has an uncle who boxed professionally. He’s the one he credits for introducing him to boxing when he was 13. This will be his first fight since he scored a lopsided eight-round decision over Daniel Franco dernier Mai 2.
Ellis upset highly regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Golden Gloves nationales (Gausha would go on to represent the U.S. au 2012 Jeux Olympiques). Since going pro in February 2011, Ellis has fought in two countries (Puerto Rico, Mexique) and six U.S. villes (San Antonio, Carson, Calif., Winchester, Va., New York City, Tulsa and Inglewood, Calif.). The 26-year-old has faced mostly modest opposition and has seldom come close to putting in a full night’s work.
Ellis had had a series of delays and restarts since turning pro but feels he’s grown from his mistakes and that he’ll be stronger because of them. Pour sûr, his power hasn’t been affected. Tous 10 of his knockouts have come inside two rounds (eight in the first). The older brother of boxer Rashidi Ellis has won four straight by knockout, y compris un TKO de deuxième tour sur Jas Phipps dans son dernier départ dernier Août. 29. But he seems to be taking a sizeable step-up in class here.
Odom is looking to turn it around after losing two of his last three, the most recent defeat coming via a shocking third-round TKO to Samuel Clarkson (14-3 allant dans) sur ShoBox. The heavily favored, heavy-hitting Odom was dropped three times, once in the second and twice in the third, before the fight was halted at 1:15.
Odom, un amateur de haut et 2012 Champion national des Golden Gloves à 178 livres, eu une victoire fin de série 12 de combat sur Jan. 9, 2015, when he was disqualified against Andrew Hernandez. In the rematch the followingMars 13 sur ShoBox, Odom registered a 2:47, first-round TKO.
Dans son ShoBox début, Odom, who makes for exciting scraps, dropped previously unbeaten Vilier Quinonez (8-0) twice before stopping him in the seventh round on July 25, 2014.
Smith won his ShoBox debut in his last start on a hard-fought, eight-round unanimous decision over Benjamin Whitaker dernier Novembre. 6 in an outdoor fight in Las Vegas. Fighting in memory of his mother who died in late September and going eight rounds for the first time, the 5-foot-7Smith, overcame a nasty cut over the left eye from an unintentional headbutt in the sixth, rallied to score a knockdown in the seventh and triumphed by the scores of 79-73 et 78-74 deux fois.
Before turning pro in April 2010, Smith was a 2008 National Golden Gloves Featherweight Champion and 2007 Champion olympique national junior. Le sien 74-2 record in the amateurs included two victories overworld-ranked contender Amir I.
Romero had 268 amateur bouts and represented the Dominican Republic at the Olympics in 2012 (he lost to Vasyl Lomanchenko). Shortly thereafter he relocated to New York. He went pro in October 2013, fought four times in 2014 and five times last year.
A slick 5-foot-9 boxer who can punch and gives opponent issues because of his awkward style and movement, Romero, 24, has beat up on ordinary opposition and is coming off a first-round TKO over LuisMeroles dernier Décembre. 5. This looks to be his most daunting assignment to date.
Williams, 24, is a boxer-puncher who’s won seven in a row since boxing a draw in his second start in March 2013. This will be his first fight outside of New York. Making his eight-round debut in his last start onOctobre. 8, he won a shutout decision over Czech Republic’s Michal Dufek.
