San Juan, PUERTO RICO – March 18, 2021 -Angel Fierrorose from the canvas twice en route to a stunning comeback knockout win in the sixth round against former world championAlberto Machadoas the latest chapter of the iconic Puerto Rico vs. Mexico ring rivalry was written in the Ring City USA main event, live on NBC Sports Network from Albergue Olimpico (Olympic Center) in Salinas, Puerto Rico.

Tijuana’s Fierro (18-1-1, 14 KOs) handed Machado (22-3, 18 KOs) of Rio Piedras his first professional loss in Puerto Rico, following a hot start from the former junior lightweight world champion. Machado, 30, scored a knockdown in each of the first two rounds with well-placed right-hand counter punches. Fierro displayed a durable chin and beat the count easily both times, signaling that he was not hurt by the crunching power punches. Fierro was down 48-45 on all three judges’ scorecards at the time of the stoppage.

“I’m happy, I faced a top-notch fighter tonight in Alberto Machado,” said Fierro, who was a three-to-one underdog. “He is world class and dropped me twice. But I am ecstatic that I was able to come back and beat a fighter of his caliber.”

The 22-year-old lightweight turned the fight around in the fourth round as he dedicated himself to a vicious body attack against Machado. The body work paid dividends as he found openings throughout the fifth and sixth round, ultimately leading to a vicious left hand that sent the former titlist to the canvas for the first and only time in the fight. Fierro credited finding his second wind to his two-year-old daughter back in Mexico.

“He dropped me twice in the beginning of the fight,” added Fierro. “When I got back to my corner, I told them, ‘remind me of my daughter.’ Because with this fight I can change her life and that’s exactly what they did after the third round. They motivated me and that’s exactly what I did.”

Prior to the fight, Fierro told the Ring City USA broadcast team, “the best judge is a knockout when you’re fighting in someone else’s hometown.” The Mexican warrior, who replaced undefeated prospect Hector Tanajara on one week’s notice, delivered on his promise to take matters into his own hands.

“We found a lot of gaps in Machado’s game in the sixth round,” stated Fierro. “I took advantage of them and I turned it around. I told you in the interview (sebelum perjuangan), I didn’t come here to be a tourist in Puerto Rico. I came here to win.”

Immediately preceding the main event, Ini IrelandJoe Ward (3-1, 2 KOs) avenged his only professional loss with a dominating unanimous decision victory overMarco Delgado(7-2, 5 KOs) in their six-round light heavyweight tilt. Pada bulan Oktober 2019, the 15-time Irish National Champion Ward faced Delgado in his professional debut and suffered a dislocated kneecap which led to a technical knockout victory for the Turlock, Calif. asli. Under the tutelage of two-division world champion Joey Gamache, the 29-year-old Ward displayed his spectacular amateur pedigree as he attempts to fast-track his pro career.

In the second fight of the telecastAlma Ibarra (7-1, 4 KOs) earned a hard-fought unanimous decision overMaricela Cornejo (13-4, 5 KOs) in an eight-round middleweight fight. Two of the ringside judges scored seven rounds for Ibarra (79-73) while the third saw it 77-75 for the winner. Ibarra, who hails from Monterrey, Mexico, brought the fight to the Los Angeles native throughout the fight and was the far busier fighter.

“Now the world knows who Alma Ibarra is and what she is made of,” said the victor. “To everyone, I was a stranger. And to fight against someone who is very recognized worldwide in Maricela Cornejo and beat her, this opened many doors for us.”

Ibarra, 32, returned from a 16-month layoff following her first professional defeat against Raquel Miller in 2019. Ibarra, who had a successful amateur career, looked comfortable as she commanded the ring against the seasoned professional in 33-year-old Cornejo. Ibarra, a natural welterweight, was fighting at the heaviest weight of her career (156 lbs.).

“I felt very good, sangat kuat, as this is a division that I am not used to,” said Ibarra. “I always fight in lower divisions, we had to go up two divisions to take this great opportunity, and well, I think we were not wrong to take this risk.”

In the co-main event of the evening, which kicked off the four-fight main card on NBC Sports NetworkJose “Chiquiro” Martinez(21-1-3, 14 KOs) of Mayaguez, P.R. danIsrael Gonzalez (26-4-1, 11 KOs) of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, fought to a majority draw in their 10-round bantamweight affair. While one ringside judge gave Gonzalez, 24, the edge on the scorecards (96-94), the remaining two judges scored it identically at 95-95. Ring City’s unofficial scorer Steve Smoger had Gonzalez edging the hometown fighter 97-93.

“I felt his punches, but I was the superior fighter tonight,"Kata Gonzalez. “He might have won three rounds but it’s OK. I’m thankful to Puerto Rico and all of the people that gave me an opportunity to be here.”

The 28-year-old Martinez did his best work on the inside as he attempted to neutralize the five-inch reach advantage of the younger Gonzalez and led on two of the scorecards through the midway point of the fight. Sementara itu, Gonzalez flashed excellent hand speed in the back-and-forth affair and stole many of the later rounds when he found his second wind. This marked the third draw for Martinez over his last seven fights and the first for Gonzalez.

“I feel happy, satisfied with the work I did,” said Martinez. “I understand that I was fighting against a strong opponent and that I won. I pushed more. I was on top of him, but these things happen in boxing. Now it’s a matter of continuing to train, maintain myself and seek that title opportunity.”

Following the co-main event between Martinez and Gonzalez, Ring City USA paid tribute to the late Marvelous Marvin Hagler, who died at the age of 66 pada hari Sabtu. A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hagler reigned as the undisputed middleweight champion for several years and participated in several classic bouts in the 1980s.

“The beautiful part of Marvelous Marvin Hagler, if you had the chance to be around him, is that he was authentic,” said blow-by-blow announcer Bob Papa. “Just as he was in the ring was how he treated you outside of the ring. He is truly one of the greatest champions of all time.”

Earlier in the evening, live on Twitch in the U.S. dan di seluruh dunia, Angel Acosta (22-2, 21 KOs) of Barrio Obrero Santurce, Puerto Rico, earned a victory on the scorecards for the first time in his professional career, memperoleh keputusan sebulat suara lebihGilberto Mendoza (17-10-3, 8 KOs) of Baja California, Mexico, in an eight-round super flyweight fight. Fighting in his hometown of Salinas, Edwin Valentin(10-0, 9 KOs) remained perfect with a fifth-round technical knockout victory over fellow Puerto RicanHector Marengo(7-15-4, 4 KOs). In the opening fight of the evening, Jose Roman (11-0, 5 KOs) Bayamon, Puerto Rico, mengalahkanRoque Junco(10-8-1, 6 KOs) via unanimous decision in an eight-round welterweight fight.

Calling all the action ringside in Puerto Rico was former two-time welterweight champion Shawn Porter joined by NBC Sports blow-by-blow commentator Bob Papa. Brian Campbell served as fight night analyst with Curran Bhatia reporting from ringside. The executive producers of tonight’s presentation ofRing City USA: Machado vs. Fierro on NBC Sports Network were Eric Weinberger, Jeff Huggins & Frank Samuel.

Inilah yang dikatakan oleh para pejuang berikutan pertarungan mereka:
JOSESITO LOPEZ
Malam ini adalah hasil daripada semua kerja yang saya lakukan sejak beberapa bulan lalu dengan Robert Garcia.
“Saya menjatuhkannya dengan cangkuk kiri, tetapi dia seorang lelaki yang berpendirian. Dia mengambil beberapa hukuman. Saya berhati-hati sedikit di sana, walaupun. Sudah lama sejak saya bertarung dengan beberapa pusingan yang baik seperti itu. Terdapat beberapa kali saya cuba pergi untuk membunuh, tetapi dia seorang yang kuat dan terus hidup.
“Rasanya baik pergi jauh. Badan saya berasa baik. Lebih daripada apa-apa, Saya waspada dan naluri saya cepat. Saya mempunyai refleks yang baik dan saya tajam. Saya dipukul dengan sangat sedikit tumbukan, jadi saya rasa saya OK malam ini.
“saya ikut. Ini adalah pertarungan kedua saya kembali dalam dua tahun. Ia adalah sedikit proses. Saya rasa untuk pertarungan seterusnya saya akan menjadi lebih baik. Saya hanya fokus untuk terus menjadi lebih baik. Saya mahu meningkatkannya untuk pertarungan seterusnya.
“Kami ada rancangan. Robert dan saya hanya berlatih bersama untuk seketika, tetapi peningkatan itu ada dan masih banyak lagi yang akan datang.
“Saya Riverside Rocky dan saya mahu menyertai pertarungan menarik yang akan diingati oleh rakan dan ahli keluarga selama bertahun-tahun. Saya pasti mempunyai ketabahan dan (keberanian) untuk masuk ke sana dengan yang terbaik dari mereka. Saya jauh lebih bijak di dalam gelanggang sekarang.”
SAUL CORRAL
“Saya rasa seperti jarak saya terkeluar malam ini. Saya rasa saya perlu menghabiskan lebih banyak masa untuk sparring. Saya tidak mempunyai ramai rakan sparring untuk pertarungan ini dan saya fikir ia menjejaskan saya.
“Saya fikir apabila Lopez mendaratkan tumbukan saya kembali kuat, tetapi saya tidak meneruskan serangan kerana dia dapat menghalang saya.
“Saya hanya perlu mengubah beberapa perkara dalam kem latihan, dan kemudian saya fikir saya boleh kembali kepada satu lagi perjuangan besar.”
ALEJANDRO LUNA
“Klimov seorang yang sangat tabah. Kami telah melihat dia pergi jauh dengan Terrence Crawford. Dia melawan krim tanaman, jadi adalah satu penghormatan untuk mendapat kemenangan ke atasnya. Dia seorang pejuang peringkat tertinggi, jadi kemenangan ini menunjukkan bahawa kami bersedia untuk mana-mana kelas ringan lima teratas.
“Rancangan kami malam ini adalah untuk bekerja badan. Kami perasan dia mempunyai pengawal yang cukup tinggi, jadi saya ingin pergi ke badan untuk memecahkan dia sedikit demi sedikit.
“Saya tahu bahawa saya menyakitinya dengan beberapa tembakan badan, tetapi dia cepat sembuh. Nanti, Saya memukulnya dengan overhand kanan yang sampai kepadanya, tapi dia seorang yang tabah.
“Perkara saya sentiasa menggembirakan orang ramai. Saya fikir sukan ini adalah tentang hiburan kerana ia adalah kemahiran dan peminat mahu melihat persembahan. Itulah sebabnya saya membawa aksi itu dan melakukan apa sahaja yang saya boleh untuk menjadikannya menarik untuk mereka.
“Pusingan terakhir bukan yang terbaik saya. Dia melebihkan saya sedikit, jadi sebaik sahaja loceng 10 saat berbunyi saya ingin menutup pertarungan dengan kuat. Malangnya, Saya membuka dan kami bertelagah kepala, yang menyebabkan luka pada mata kiri saya.”
Andrey Klimov
“Saya terhuyung-hayang sedikit, tetapi ia bukan apa-apa yang saya fikir akan memadamkan lampu saya.
“Luna adalah seorang pejuang yang sangat gagah perkasa. Luka di mata kiri saya hampir tamat pergaduhan apabila kami bertembung kepala.
“Saya 35 lama tahun. Kami akan pulang dan mengambil sedikit masa untuk memikirkan perkara seterusnya. Saya bernasib baik kerana melakukan banyak perkara dalam sukan ini. Kini tiba masanya untuk bercakap dengan keluarga saya dan memutuskan masa depan saya.”
KARLOS BALDERAS
“Kami menghabiskan banyak masa bertanding dengan pejuang yang hebat untuk bersiap sedia untuk pertarungan ini. Saya rasa semua latihan membuahkan hasil dan kepantasan saya adalah aset terbesar saya malam ini.
“Saya rasa sudut mereka menghentikan pergaduhan kerana dia mengambil begitu banyak pukulan, tetapi saya tidak pasti.
“Saya gembira dan teruja untuk menjadi seorang profesional. Saya mempunyai begitu ramai orang di sini malam ini menyokong saya datang dari Oklahoma dan Texas, jadi ia satu penghormatan. Saya rasa seperti kemenangan tidak mencukupi. Saya perlu membuat kenyataan.
“Saya akan cuba untuk kekal sibuk. Saya ingin bergaduh setiap dua bulan, jadi saya berharap untuk kembali pada bulan Jun berjuang lagi.”
THOMAS SMITH
“Saya benar-benar mengalami sakit kepala yang teruk. Selepas dua tumbukan pertama, Saya fikir saya boleh menerimanya. Saya tahu dia mempunyai pukulan badan yang baik, tetapi ia tidak memberi kesan kepada saya. Tetapi selepas yang keempat dan kelima yang baik, Saya tahu ia terlalu banyak. Saya tidak mahu pergi ke sana pada pusingan kedua hanya untuk cedera.”
MISAEL RODRIGUEZ
“Sejujurnya saya fikir ia akan menjadi lawan yang lebih mudah. Saya tidak aktif sejak Sukan Olimpik lapan bulan lalu, tetapi saya berlatih bersungguh-sungguh untuk pertarungan ini dan mendapat kemenangan malam ini.
“Saya tidak fikir dia membawa apa-apa ke meja yang berbeza daripada apa yang saya lihat sebelum ini, tetapi ia adalah pertarungan pro pertama saya dan mungkin terdapat beberapa kegelisahan pertarungan pertama.
“Saya tidak pernah mengalami hidung berdarah sebelum ini, jadi malam ini pasti sesuatu yang berbeza bagi saya, tetapi saya berguling dengan tumbukan.
“Ia amat bermakna bagi saya untuk menjadi seorang pejuang profesional sekarang. Saya tahu jangkaan lebih tinggi, dan terdapat banyak perbezaan antara pro dan amatur, tetapi ia berasa hebat di sana.”
EIMANT STANIOS
“Saya mempunyai kem yang hebat, Saya mempunyai jurulatih yang hebat dan saya bekerja keras setiap hari di gim. Malam ini, semuanya membuahkan hasil.
“Saya melihat bahawa saya dapat mendaratkan beberapa pukulan yang baik, dan saya dapat tahu saya sedang mendekatinya sedikit, jadi saya mula melontar lebih banyak lagi untuk cuba menghalangnya.
“Ini adalah impian saya selamanya. Saya membesar dengan menonton legenda seperti Mike Tyson dan Manny Pacquiao, dan kini saya seorang pejuang profesional seperti mereka.
“Saya bersedia untuk terus membuktikan diri saya. Saya akan melawan sesiapa sahaja yang mereka letakkan di hadapan saya.”
LINDOLFO DELGADO
“Pasukan saya dan saya mempunyai rancangan permainan dan saya mengikutinya dengan betul.
“Pukulan yang aku lepaskan (Silva) dengan adalah pukulan atas kiri. Thankfully I was able to land it and I knew I had him hurt.
Competing in Rio de Janeiro in the Olympics was an incredible experience and a good learning lesson for me, but now I’ve officially made my transition into the pros. It felt different in the ring malam ini, but I was very prepared.
I’m just going to continue training hard to build on this performance and little by little we’re going to reach our goals.
MONEY POWELL IV
I did what I wanted to do malam ini. I dominated early. (Templeton) is a tough, old dude, and I want to thank him for taking this fight and allowing me to showcase my skills.
I was just trying to start the fight out by controlling my distance and using my jab, but I could see he didn’t have much to offer, so I stopped using my jab so much. Once I realized I could land shots on him I went with my power punches because anything I threw was going to get him.
Becoming a professional fighter is a dream come true for me. I always wanted to be a fighter ever since I was a little kid. Thankfully Richard Schaefer signed me and gave me a chance to realize my dream.
This is only the beginning for me. I’m trying to be the best fighter that’s ever lived.

JOSESITO LOPEZ
First thing is that I can’t look past my opponent pada hari Ahad malam. If all goes well, I know that bigger things are coming. I want to give fans fights that they’ll remember for years to come. I’m that guy who wants to make great fights.
I know that I’m facing a tough fighter from Mexico. I always know that these guys come with a real hunger to win. I’ve prepared very well and I’m ready to put on a show Ahadmalam.
I’ve taken advantage of opportunities given to me in the past and I’m looking to take advantage of every one I get. I’m going to show off my abilities pada hari Ahad.
I’m in a good state of mind right now. I’ve been working for several months and I really feel 100 percent physically.
This is going to be a good fight. He’s going to come with the will to win. I’ll be smart and use my abilities. I’ve been working on some new things and Ahad will be a glimpse of what’s left to come.
It’s an honor for me to be the main event on a card with so many great young fighters. I remember that moment many years ago. These fighters are the future. This is just the beginning. I’m the present right now and I’m going to show that pada hari Ahad.”
ALEJANDRO LUNA
More than anything I think that the fans can expect fireworks. I’m fighting a crafty veteran guy in Klimov who has fought the best. He’s fought guys like Terrence Crawford and Jose Pedraza. Our styles are meant for each other and I think they’re going to clash. The fans are going to be the real winners.
I say yes to every challenge they put in front of me. This is a big test. I feel confident in my training and I believe I can get past Klimov. I think getting this win shows that I’m ready to fight any champion in the lightweight division.
“Saya berlatih 100 percent every time. I had a smooth camp and I’m ready to go. My work ethic is my secret weapon. I’m a believer that fights are won in the gym.
I fight for the people every time I’m in the ring. They’re paying money to see a great fight and I want them to get their money’s worth.
I’ve been under the radar but I think that in 2017 I’m going to put myself in the world title picture. I give it my all in the ring.
MISAEL RODRIGUEZ
I’m excited because I have a great team behind me with Richard Schaefer, Abner Mares and Robert Garcia. I feel strong and ready for this fight.
I’m so happy to be fighting in Los Angeles, because it’s like a second Mexico. I hope the fans all come out to see me because I’m going to work hard to be the next Mexican superstar.
I’m going to keep working and getting stronger and better. I have to be consistent and have good training camps so I can reach my goals.
“Latihan dengan Robert Garcia telah besar. He has had a lot of champions and I hope that I will be next. Him and his whole family are good people and they’ve treated me like family. I’ve learned a lot already.
I have to be smart in the ring. I’m a Mexican fighter in my heart and I always will be. But I have to be smart and be ready for anything in the ring.
MARICELA CORNEJO
Joel Diaz has helped me so much with the mental side of the game. The way he speaks so passionately about the sport, he transfers that to me. I feel that belief and trust. He gives me the right words to keep me going and unleash anything I was holding back.
I work really hard at this sport. People didn’t see me when I was coming up, but It’s been a real journey. I’ve never backed down from anything. I’m proud to be a female fighter in the sport right now. Female athletes are getting more attention across the world than they ever have.
Boxing means a lot to me. I’ve overcome a lot of obstacles. Getting in the ring and getting hit in the face is a lot easier than what I’ve had to go through. I love boxing because it’s all about going for the win no matter what is thrown in front of you.
RICHARD SCHAEFER, Pengerusi & Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Ringstar Sukan
All of these young fighters we’re letting loose pada hari Ahad are coming to fight. This won’t be ‘Dancing with the Stars’, they will come to engage and destroy. These guys all have advanced skills and I look forward to seeing them in the ring.
Misael Rodriguez is a very charismatic person. He’s an entertainer and a fighter. With Abner behind him as a manager and Robert Garcia as a trainer, this is a kid who wants to surround himself with the best. Watching his career will be very exciting.
Josesito had his biggest win, over Victor Ortiz, right across the street at Staples Center and he is ready for the next step in his career in a stacked welterweight division. I also believe that Alejandro Luna is on the cusp of being in world title contention if he can get through Klimov pada hari Ahad. Di samping itu, you have one of the most charismatic female stars in Maricela Cornejo going along with an incredible group of young talent making their debutspada hari Ahad.
With this new young class of fighters coming out of Southern California combined with world champions like Leo Santa Cruz, Mikey Garcia and Abner Mares, Los Angeles is on its way to being the fight capital of the world again.
I’ve never done an event on a Ahad and it definitely doesn’t happen very often. I want to challenge the status quo and try different things. I am equally excited about this Sunday card as I have been for any card I’ve promoted because of all the great young talent.
Abner MARES, Rodriguez’s Manager
I’m nervous and excited to see Misael in the ring pada hari Ahad. He’s a fighter with a lot of heart and the desire to become a world champion just like I was coming out of the Olympics.
Our goal is to have Misael fight six times this year. We’re going to go step-by-step to make him a champion.
Misael is the future. He brings excitement and he’s likeable. He’s in a great weight class and the team he has behind him will get him to where he needs to go.
Seeing Misael grow from the manager’s side will be as exciting if not more than my own progression. I can’t wait to take him to a world championship.

Berikut adalah apa yang para peserta telah mengatakan Selasa:
KARLOS BALDERAS
I’ve improved a lot working in the gym. I’m doing a lot of good sparring and strength and conditioning work. We’re training harder but also a lot smarter than ever.
I’m really looking forward to this fight. Saya telah bersedia dengan baik. I’m taking this as seriously as a championship fight. You’re going to see a new Karlos Balderas on April 9.
I definitely want to make Los Angeles my home for as many fights as possible. That’s where everything is happening. I want to make Los Angeles mine.
I want to be in exciting fights as a professional. I’m proud of what I did in the amateurs and the Olympics, but I know this is an entirely different game. I’m looking to do even bigger and better things.
I’m going to take it one fight at a time. I want to build a perfect record and build my fan base. I hope to be fighting for a world title in a few years. I know that I have the right team to get me there.
I’m going to try to stay busy and get a fight every two months or so. My last fight was at the Olympics in Rio, but after this one I’ll be ready to stay in training throughout the year.
I’ve known a lot of these other fighters here for a long time from all of the amateur tournaments. It’s nice to see us all coming together now as professionals. In the amateurs people pretty much stay with their own team, but this is the time for us to come together and learn from each other. It’s a great feeling to be a part this.
Everyone knows a Carlos with a ‘C,’ so I wanted to stand out. As a professional and from here on out, I am going to be known as Karlos with a ‘K’.
MISAEL RODRIGUEZ
I feel very strong and I’m excited to get back in the ring. I’m hungry to fight and prove myself in this sport.
I’m looking forward to being in big fights. I know that it takes time. I will get there eventually and become a world champion.
I’ve known Abner Mares for a long time because he was a Mexican Olympian as well and it was an easy decision to have him help me with my career.
I knew after the Olympics that it was time to turn pro. Growing up as a Mexican child, all I wanted was to be a world champion. I want to be a fan-favorite for Mexicans.
Los Angeles is like a second Mexico. It will feel like Mexico to me. I know that I will have a lot of fans coming from my hometown [Chihuahua, Mexico] to support me. I’m excited to work with Richard and put on more great fights.
EIMANT STANIOS
I was very excited and eager when I first heard about the opportunity to train with Freddie Roach. I came out to California as soon as I could to start training.
I’m working very hard. I give it my all in training and I leave everything in the gym every single day. I’m just going to keep doing my best.
The Olympics were a very good experience for me. I won a lot of tournaments to get there and that road has led me to this moment.
I met Richard Schaefer at the Olympics and that’s what led to me signing with Ringstar. I’m very happy to be with Richard and I’m excited for this first step.
I want to start making my mark in the welterweight division. This is a division with big stars that I’d love to face one day.
I never thought I would live in Hollywood, but here I am and I love Los Angeles.
LINDOLFO DELGADO
I had an awesome experience in the Olympics and it gave me a lot of confidence heading into my pro career. I’m excited to finally be able to enter the ring and I hope all of us Olympians give spectacular performances.
It’s an honor to be turning pro on this same card with my Mexican teammate, Misael Rodriguez. I’m very happy for Karlos and Eimantas too and I look forward to being on more shows with them.
I can’t wait to compete and show off my talent to all the fans. I’m going to keep improving my skills and I believe one day I’ll be able to become another Mexican world champion.
Signing with Ringstar was the best choice that I could have made and I think there will be a lot of success for Ringstar and for me. This will be a great first step.
RICHARD SCHAEFER, Pengerusi & Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Ringstar Sukan
With Karlos Balderas you have someone with the skills in the ring, the personality and the character outside of the ring as well. The combination of all of this will ultimately, make him the new face of the sport.
There always has to be somebody who carries the Southern California boxing scene. Right now there is a void. I see Karlos very quickly becoming the King of L.A. and become a star in the sport.
This will be a big night for Mexican boxing. Both Misael and Lindolfo have a lot of discipline and worked very hard to earn the opportunity to represent their country and they will bring that work ethic into the pros.
Lindolfo Delgado is the ‘Pretty Boyand I expect him to bring a lot of female fans, while Misael is the first Mexican boxer dalam 16 tahun to bring a medal back from the Olympics, which I think is very significant.
Freddie told me that the only other time he saw someone walk through the door with as much natural talent as Stanionis, is when Manny Pacquiao came through that door.
I’m excited for opening night on April 9. It’s the beginning of the next generation of stars. To see them all in one night is going to be very special.
Freddie Roach, Stanionis’ Jurulatih
This is a great show for the future of boxing. You have four talented Olympians on this show. I can’t wait for Stanionis to show his skills to the world.
Stanionis sparred with five of Miguel Cotto’s sparring partners and he knocked down three of them if that tells you anything about his power.
I just want him to go out there and have some fun and do his job. We’re not going to go out there looking for a first round knockout, but if it comes, that’s a bonus. We’re going to show our skills and win every minute of every round.
ROBERT GARCIA, Rodriguez’s Trainer
I’ve been working with Misael for about three months after Abner brought him to me. With Mexico behind him and winning a bronze medal, that’s huge already. We have a game plan with this kid that we’re going to execute.
Misael was only on the Mexican team for two years. He was the least experienced member of the team. He’s going to get a lot of experience while fighting as a pro.
We’re going to keep him busy and definitely want him fighting in Mexico. He’s going to keep gaining more confidence each time he enters the ring.
Abner MARES, Rodriguez’s Manager
I just wanted to help out Misael on the business side of the sport and that’s why I got involved in his career. I brought him to Robert’s gym to spar and everyone saw that he has a lot of skills.
Being a bronze medalist from Mexico is a big thing to bring into the pros and I think it’s something the Mexican fans can get behind. Misael has room to grow but I believe the skills are there to be a world champion.
I’m hoping to use my experience and my relationships to get him the right fights and put him in a position to reach his full potential.
