Cuban vs. Cuban: Livan Navarro and Armando Alvarez Ready for War at Heavyweight Factory’s “Rumble at the Rock 2” on Friday, Sedm. 28 v Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Kasino – Hollywood

Zanechat komentář

 

Cuba’s undefeated Livan “Machine Gun Kid” Navarro (8-0, 5 KO) loves a good test.

 

 

 

Never one to shy away from a challenge, the Miami (via Havana) welterweight will be in tough once again this Friday night, when he takes on fellow Cuban Armando “The Gentleman” Alvarez (18-1, 12 KO) z Key West.

 

 

 

The rare Cuban vs. Cuban showdown, also Navarro’s first fight scheduled for 10 kola, highlights a stacked undercard on Friday, Sedm. 28, na "Rumble at the Rock 2,"professional boxing event at the Hard Rock Event Center v Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Kasino v Hollywoodu, Fla.

 

 

 

Uvádí Kris Lawrence a The Heavyweight Factory, v nočním 10kolovém hlavním turnaji, Honolulu, Havaj je neporažena Logan „Korické dítě“ Yoon (12-0, 10 KO) bude obhajovat svůj WBO-NABO Youth Junior Welterweight Championship proti John „Císař“ Renteria (16-4-1, 12 KO) Panamy. In the 10-round co-main event, Miami přes Ekibastuz, Kazachstánu Mussa „Bojovník“ Tursyngalijev (7-0, 6 KO) will face Monteira, Kolumbie Deivi "El Cabo" Bassa (20-5, 12 KO) přes 10 rounds for the WBA International Featherweight Championship.

 

Vstupenky na „Rumble at the Rock 2“ stojí $60, $100, $150, $250 a $500 VIP a jsou dostupné přes ticketmaster.com.

 

 

 

Tak, is Navarro ready for a former WBC Latino Welterweight Champion in just his ninth fight?

 

 

 

"Je to dobrý bojovník, but I feel my style will overpower whatever his so-called experience advantage is,” said a confident Navarro. “I was 312-17 as an amateur and I’m already 8-0 jako pro. I’ve been brought in as an opponent, supposedly to lose, on a Golden Boy card and a PBC show in Miami, and I knocked both those guys out. I fight my best when people don’t think I can win.”

 

 

 

To prepare, Navarro has reunited with trainer Herman Caicedo and gone back to what works best for the Cuban power puncher.

 

 

 

“I’m coming to scrap. This won’t be chess match. We’re going to scrap. That’s my style. Přišel jsem do boje. I wait on the KO and when I see my opening I take it.”

 

 

 

Navarro says he doesn’t mind being part of an unusual “Cuban vs. Cuban” showdown.

 

 

 

“I’ll fight anyone. I’ve fought Cubans all my life back home, so no, it doesn’t bother me. This is a business. You see Mexican vs Mexican and Puerto Rican against Puerto Rican, so why can’t it be Cuba vs Cuba? Good fighters should fight one another, and the cream will rise to the top. It’s all business when I step in the ring. I wish Armando all the luck in the world. He will need every ounce.”

 

 

 

Alvarez says he knows he looked vulnerable in his last fight, a nationally televised loss to undefeated Jaron Ennis in July, and that’s why Navarro is willing to fight him.

 

 

 

But Alvarez says Team Navarro has made a big mistake.

 

 

 

"Já jsem 100 percent injury free and mentally ready,” said Alvarez. “That’s what his team didn’t take into account. I fought Ennis with an injury that badly affected my performance. They’re expecting that Armando Alvarez to show up that night, but I’m ready to prove ‘The Gentleman’ is here and alive. He’s a good boxer and he comes to fight, but amateur and pro are two different things and he’s not ready.”

 

 

 

Alvarez says he also doesn’t believe in the unwritten code some fighters carry that says Cubans can’t fight each other.

 

 

 

“It’s rare for two Cubans to face each other, but I think the best should fight the best. I don’t believe in not fighting another Cuban. He’s Cuban from Cuba from Cuba. I’m Cuban too, but I was born and raised here and I think anybody can fight anybody else.”

 

 

 

Alvarez says he’s looking forward to getting back in the win column in front of a large group of his fans.

 

 

 

“I’ll have the majority of the supporters at the fight. I’ll have lots of family and friends. It always helps me when my fans are there live. It pushes me to go that much harder.”

 

A treasure for Florida’s fans of live boxing, Heavyweight Factory’s fights at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino have become the nation’s strongest off-TV boxing series. Pro boj v noci, dveře se otevírají na 6 p.m. a akce začíná v 7 p.m. Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Kasino se nachází na adrese 1 Seminole Way in Hollywood, Fla.

Jaký je to pocit poprvé bojovat na pevnině USA?

Jsem šťastný, že mohu bojovat zde v Hollywoodu na Floridě se svým novým týmem. Jsem ve fenomenální formě a, přijít září 28, Plánuji to ukázat ve velkém.

 

Co víte o svém soupeři??

Vím, že je to tvrdý důvtipný mexický veterán, ale budu připraven na všechno, co přinese na stůl. Mexiko vs PR bylo vždy skutečným tahákem, pokud jde o box, a zvu všechny portorické fanoušky, aby se přišli podívat na zápas..

 

Za jak dlouho vás uvidíme v boji na úrovni šampionátu?

Můj propagační tým v The Heavyweight Factory se o to postará za mě. Plně věřím v to, co můj manažer Alex Troya udělal, když mě sem přivedl. Pracuji se svým novým trenérem Jesse Robinsonem a uvnitř 18 měsíce, Doufám, že budu bojovat o titul mistra světa. Tito lidé vědí, co dělají, a tvrdě pracují pro své bojovníky. Jsem rád, že jsem tady.

 

Popište svůj styl boje za lidi, kteří vás uvidí poprvé.

neutíkám. Stojím v kapse, uklouznu a nechám soupeře zaplatit. Pracuji na síle, výbušnost a rychlost. To je nebezpečná kombinace. Můžu box. Můžu bouchnout. pustím se do toho, jak jen chtějí. Chci být showman a potěšitel davu.

 

Kolik ti bylo let, když sis uvědomil, že máš nadprůměrnou sílu úderů?

Musel jsem být 13 a můj trenér v té době říkal ostatním, že mám pop v punči. Pak se to stalo součástí mého arzenálu.

 

Uvažovali byste někdy o zápase „All Puerto Rico“ s bojovníkem jako Subriel Matias nebo Danielito Zorrilla??

Teta a Daniel jsou moji přátelé, se kterými se na ostrově často rozcházíme. K oběma klukům mám velký respekt, ale jakmile vstoupíš do ringu, je to ‚čas jít‘ bez ohledu na to, kdo to je.

 

Stýská se vám po Portoriku, když trénujete v USA??

Chybí mi moje rodina a moji lidé, ale jsem profík, který se teď soustředí na to, abych se dostal na vrchol, brzy do divadla ve vašem okolí!

Oddaný Perrella připravený na největší výzvu své kariéry

Zanechat komentář

BP1.jpg

 

 

 

Fort Myers, FL (Červenec 25, 2018) – Říct, že Welterweight Bryant „Goodfella“ Perrella žije, jí a dýchá box by nebyl podceněním.

 

 

 

Devětadvacetiletý rodák z Fort Myers trénuje celoročně, nekouří a nepije a drží přísnou dietu. Když horečně nebuší do těžké tašky, stínový box, zápasení, nebo práce na silnici v parném vedru, Perrella je pravděpodobně ve fitness centru na jihozápadní Floridě.

 

 

 

„Dává tomuto sportu a péči o své tělo celý svůj život,“ řekl Michael Nowling, Perrellin hlavní trenér. “Viděl jsem spoustu bojovníků, kteří tvrdě pracovali v posilovně, aby se připravili na boj, pak si udělali přestávky a zvyšovali váhu. Bryant je pravý opak – musím mu říct, že potřebuje pauzu.

 

 

 

Jižní tlapa 6'1, Perrella je považována za jednu z nejlepších 147 librové stíhačky. Na 15-1 s 13 vyhraje knockout, Perrella zaznamenala působivá vítězství nad dalšími nadějemi ve welterové váze Davidem Graytonem a Alexem Martinem. V jeho osamělém neúspěchu, čtvrtá stopka ze strany uchazeče o titul Yordenise Ugase, Perrella nastoupila do zápasu se zraněním pravé nohy a odešla s mnoha naučenými zkušenostmi.

 

 

 

Stále, čeká nejtěžší výzvu své kariéry, když se utká s bývalým šampionem welterové váhy Luisem Collazem, 37-7 (20 KO), Srpen 4 v Nassau Coliseum v Uniondale, NY. Bydlí v nedalekém Brooklynu, NY, úhledný Southpaw má nejen výhodu rodného města, ale i zkušenost, když čelil Shane Mosleymu, Keith Thurman, Ostatní Berto, Ricky Hatton, Victor Ortiz a Amir Khan mimo jiné.

 

 

 

"Luis Collazo je jedním z nejšikovnějších boxerů a je to špičkový bojovník už mnoho let.",“ řekla Perrella. "Všem dal tvrdý boj a měl několik těsných rozhodnutí proti němu.". Očekávám, že to bude největší výzva mé kariéry, ale jsem na to připraven. Takové zápasy jsou důvodem, proč jsem zasvětil svůj život boxu. Nechci jen vyhrávat – chci vyhrávat působivě a ukázat boxerskému světu, že jsem hoden získat titul v blízké budoucnosti.“

 

 

 

Perrella se setká s Collazem během deseti kol a zápas začíná 5:30 pm ET na FS2.
