Silva sharp for Saturday showdown with Casarez; targets the best at 135

Silva.jpg
Плант-Сити, Флорида (Март 1, 2018) – Many in the boxing world best remember Brazilian lightweight William Silva for his gutsy 2016 performance against Felix Verdejo. In the HBO televised bout, Silva showed tremendous heart and toughness but was outpointed over ten rounds in front of a sold out pro-Verdejo crowd.
“I didn’t have the right team or training camp at the time,"Сказал Сильва, who entered the Verdejo bout 23-0.
Since relocating to Florida from Arizona, Silva linked up with Jose Rodriguez at the Plant City Boxing Gym and inked a promotional agreement with Tampa-based Fire Fist Boxing Promotions. В ноябре 2017, he returned to the ring after a year and a half layoff to outpoint Ariel Vasquez. До сих пор, everything has paid off and Silva’s currently in top form.
“He’s been training at a fantastic pace, сказал Родригес. “His balance and power are extraordinary – he’s ready to fight!"
На Суббота, Март 3, Silva faces tough Rogelio Casarez in the 10 round main event of a Fire Fist Boxing card at Banquet Masters in Clearwater, Флорида. Silva-Casarez is for the NBA World and IBO Continental lightweight championships. Casarez, who has a deceiving 13-6 запись, faced excellent opposition including Jamel Herring and multi-division title contender Cesar Seda, who he took the distance last August.
“I don’t know much about him besides that he’s a tough lefty that comes at you,” Silva said of his opponent.
Even with limited information about the man he’ll swap punches with Saturday evening, Silva’s confident he’ll defeat his Arkansas-based foe before setting his sights on the 135 pound division’s elite.
"(С победой) I hope to get ranked and fight the top fighters at 135. This is my time to make it happen because I’ve got the right people behind me that believe in my career.”
The card starts at 7 вечера and also features 7 other bouts including local standouts Nicholas Iannuzzi, Антонио Тарвер младший, Joseph Fernandez, Ricky Tomlinson and Ozodek Aripov.
