KENNETH SIMS JR. NOW SPARRING WITH JORGE LINARES
LAS VEGAS, NV (Mei 19, 2015) – After getting Manny Pacquiao ready for his mega-fight with Floyd Mayweather, Gary Shaw Productions‘ en Antonio Leonard Promotions‘ undefeated super-lightweight prospect, Kenneth Sims Jr. (6-0, KO), is now preparing WBC Lightweight champion Jorge Linares (38-3, 25 KO) for his upcoming title defense against Kevin Mitchell (39-2, 29 KO).
Kenneth Sims Jr. has been sparring with Linares, giving him great work, while learning from the best fighters in the world. The experience has been instrumental in the development of Sims Jr., who resides in Chicago, Illinois.
“Training with Linares and Pacquiao has been a great learning process for me and my dad who’s my trainer,” zei Kenneth Sims Jr. “I want to thank Gary Shaw for setting up these sparring opportunities. I’ve preformed really well and my confidence is at an all-time high. After sparring with these great champions, I know I have the skills to become something special in this sport and I’m going to take it one fight at a time. Gary and Antonio Leonard are working on my next fight and I should be returning to the ring shortly.”
“Kenneth Sims Jr. is a special talent with an amateur pedigree to take his professional career to championship level,” Gary Shaw zei. “Antonio and I are going to continue to bring him up the right way, give him tough fights, so he can be prepared for the big fights that lie ahead. Everything I’m hearing from these training camps and the sparring sessions Sims Jr. is having is positive. Kenneth is only going to get better and that makes me very happy.”

Undercard Previewed for Boxcino 2015 Finals ESPN2 May 22
ORANJE, Calif. (Mei 19, 2015) – ESPN's “Vrijdag Night Fights” final broadcast features two outstanding fights in the heavyweight and junior middleweight divisions that will decide the 2015 Boxcino Champions.
The 10-round junior middleweight final showcases Boxcino tournament veteran Brandon Adams (16-1, 12 KO) of Los Angeles against the smooth boxing skills of John Thompson (16-1, 5 KO) van Newark, New Jersey. The finalists will compete for the Boxcino crown on Vrijdag, Mei 22, from the Omega Products Outdoor Arena in Corona, Calif. Also on the line – de NABA Interim Super Welterweight title, en de WBO Intercontinental junior middleweight belt.
Tickets for the Boxcino Finals are priced at $50, $70, & $100, en zijn online verkrijgbaar ThompsonBoxing.com of door te bellen naar 714-935-0900.
The double main event features heavyweight talents Donovan Dennis (14-2, 11 KO) of Davenport, Iowa and Andrey Fedosov (27-3, 22 KO) of Russia in a 10-round fight to determine the 2015 Boxcino Heavyweight Champion. Dennis-Fedosov will also fight for the WBA Fedelatin en WBO Intercontinental heavyweight titles.
The Boxcino Tournament is Promoted by Banner Promotions and televised on ESPN's “Vrijdag Night Fights” (ESPN2 10 p.m. EN / 7 p.m. PT). The show op vrijdag is co-promoted through Thompson Boxing Promotions en Banner Promotions.
The undercard features crafty super bantamweight Isaac Zarate (10-1-1,1 KO) of Los Angeles against Fernando Fuentes (5-4-1, 1 KO) of Hemet, Calif. Outside of the two televised bouts, the 8-round fight between Zarate and Martinez is among the most eagerly anticipated fights of the night.
“Zarate is one of the most exciting, young boxers in the 122 pond. divisie,” zei Ken Thompson, voorzitter van Thompson Boksen. “He won’t blow you away with power, but his hand speed and work rate are definitely worth the cost of admission.”
“I’m looking forward to a great night of boxing,” zei Artie Pelullo, president of Banner Promotions. “It’s a great card all around, and the Boxcino finals will be fan friendly fights where two new world title contenders will emerge.”
Zarate, a southpaw, makes life difficult for opponents by using an unlimited energy supply to launch punches from all sorts of angles. He’s elusive in that he darts in and out of danger spots, which makes landing combinations on him a difficult matter.
“I try not to stay in the same spot for too long,” said the 23-year-old Zarate. “By moving and changing the pace, my opponents typically can’t time my movements.”
In andere actie, Colombian lightweight Andres Figueroa (5-0, 3 KO) faces fellow prospect Angel Martinez (5-1-1, 1 KO) San Antonio, Tex. in a 6-round fight.
Humberto Rubalcava (1-0, 1 KO), a Riverside native who turned professional in April, faces super bantamweight Richard Tallmadge, who will be making his pro debut (4-rondes).
A pair of young welterweights in Eridani Leon (2-1) of Mexico and Isaac Freeman (1-1, 1 KO) of Los Angeles square off in a 4-round bout.
Ook, Canadian junior middleweight prospect Cody Crowley (3-0, 2 KO) zal een tegenstander om later te worden genoemd vechten (4-rondes).
Opening the event is undefeated super bantamweight Adam Lopez (11-0, 6 KO) of San Antonio going up against the veteran Miguel Tamayo (16-12-2, 14 KO) van Mexico (6-rondes).

FORMER TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPION DANIEL GEALE TO CHALLENGE
WBC MIDDLEWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION MIGUEL COTTO
ON Juni 6, 2015 AT BARCLAYS CENTER IN BROOKLYN LIVE ON HBO®
DOOR ROC NATION SPORTS + MIGUEL COTTO PROMOTIONS
New York (Mei 19, 2015) – Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KO's), the reigning WBC and Ring Magazine Middleweight World Champion and the first native of Puerto Rico to become world champion in four different weight classes will defend his titles against former Two-Time World Champion Daniel Geale (31-3, 16 KO's) of Australia on Juni 6, 2015 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn in a 12-round fight that will be televised live on HBO. Geale hosted a New York City media workout this afternoon at Mendez Boxing Gym in preparation for his title challenge against Cotto. Here’s what Geale, and his American promoter Gary Shaw, te zeggen had:
Daniel Geale – Voormalig tweevoudig wereldkampioen
“Cotto has trouble in stages against guys that move and use their reach. He knows that’s what I’m going to be doing and he’s going to be trying to counter that with aggression and coming forward. I’m going to use my abilities and not get caught up in his game plan.”
“The game plan is to go in and fight my fight. It’s not to get sucked in. It’s not to get caught up in what he [Gekookt] is doing. It’s to do what I do best.”
“This is going to be a huge fight for me. Fighting a guy like Miguel who’s fought some of the greatest fighters is going to be a great test. We’re going in very confident.”
“I want this one badly. It’s something that we have wanted for a while and I’m extremely excited. I’ve got guys like Gary Shaw and my team at the Grange from Australia and they are working very hard behind the scenes. I’m just going to worry about my job and they do their job greatly. I just worry about getting myself in perfect condition.”
Gary Shaw – President of Gary Shaw Productions
“If Daniel wins, Cotto has a rematch clause, so if Cotto wants the immediate rematch then that’s what he gets. Als niet, according to WBC, it would be GGG again, but it doesn’t make a difference. Daniel will fight anybody, overal. We went to Germany and fought Strum on his territory. He’s coming to New York which is Cotto’s town. It just doesn’t make a difference when you have a great fighter.”
“It’s going to be a great show and the fans are going to get what they want. Tune in for a great fight on Juni 6. It’s going to be a great night of boxing.”
