“Super Channel is ecstatic to be working with PBC and love the opportunity to bring two exciting back-to- back nights of live fights to our Canadian subscribers,” dit troy Wassill, Director de Programació, Distribuïdors nacionals & Esports per a Super Channel. “It’s about time Canadians get the chance to see these and other great fights.”
Divendres de action is headlined by a 10-round super middleweight clash between former World Boxing Council (CMB) Campió mundial de pes mitjà súper Antonio “El gos” Dirrell (30-1-1, 24 KOs), who will be fighting at home in Flint, Michigan, against the only active professional boxer trained by his mother, Denis “Momma’s Boy” Douglin (20-5, 13 KOs), fighting out of New Jersey. The action starts at 10:30 p.m. I / 7:30 p.m. PT.
“Douglin ha lluitat amb molts bons lluitadors i el respecto, però ell s'interposa en el camí del meu títol,” Dirrell said. “Aquesta és una oportunitat per a mi per mostrar les meves habilitats. Vaig a fer una parada, i crec que ho aconseguiré a les rondes mitjanes. Vull fer una gran actuació i donar-li alguna cosa a veure als aficionats. Vaig a fer la feina.”
“He pres moltes baralles amb poca antelació i això m'ha fet mal en el passat, però he tingut prou temps i un gran camp d'entrenament per preparar aquesta lluita,” Douglin commented. “Crec que Dirrell té un problema amb els nois que no li tenen por i que realment li barallaran. Amb el meu estil i determinació, Portaré molt més del que ell esperava. El portaré per 10 rondes i sé que tindré el braç aixecat al final del dia.”

This fight will get me exactly where I need to be, closer to a world title shot.”
