Ruben Villa Wins WBO Youth Title Saturday Night in Front of Hometown Fans

Філадэльфія, Пенн. / ORANGE, Халіф. (Красавіка 16, 2018) – Prized prospect Ruben Villa(11-0, 4 КО) continued his upward trajectory by thoroughly dismantling Marlon Olea (13-3, 12 КО) to win the vacant WBO Youth Featherweight Title Saturday night from his hometown of Salinas, Халіф.

 

 

 

 

Villa, just days before his twenty-first birthday, headlined his first event and won his first title in front of a raucous home crowd. The southpaw delivered an impressive performance, winning every round on all three scorecards (80-72 x3).

 

 

 

 

It’s exactly how I wanted to end this night,” said Villa, who is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.I blocked out the crowd and just did what I had to do. Olea moves around a lot, but I was able to land whatever I wanted.

 

 

 

 

After a feeling out first round, Villa turned up the heat in the second. Both hands began to split Olea’s guard, which became a constant theme throughout the 8-round title fight.

 

 

 

 

As in his other fights, Villa consistently landed a seldom used punch by most boxers, a stiff jab to the midsection that neutralized the Colombian’s attack.

 

 

 

 

 

У трэцім раўндзе, a “Rubenchant broke out in the Salinas Storm House, just as the former back-to-back Golden Gloves champion started to land heavy combinations. Villa, who is managed by Danny Zamora, thrilled the sold-out crowd with his aggressive punching.

 

 

 

 

I thought Ruben had a terrific performance on Saturday,” said Artie Pelullo, president of Banner Promotions. “It was a great night for him to perform in front of his hometown fans, and capture his 1st title. This is the 1st of many titles in Ruben’s future, and by the way, the fans turned out for him. I see Salinas being the home of many more fights for Ruben.

 

 

 

 

Ruben put an exclamation point on what turned out to be a fantastic event,” said Ken Thompson, Прэзідэнт Томпсан бокса. “It’s the best I’ve seen him fight since he turned professional. He showed the skill and confidence of a veteran, yet he’s barely turning 21. The sky is the limit for Ruben.

RUBEN VILLA: ‘I’M PRETTY SURE ME AND SHAKUR STEVENSON WILL FIGHT AGAIN

HTTPS://www.ringtv.com/533294-ruben-villa-im-pretty-sure-shakur-stevenson-will-fight/

 

 

 

BY JOSEPH SANTOLIQUITO (RINGTV.COM)

 

 

 

The encouragement wasn’t so subtle, as Ruben Villa IV looked up from his muddy hands and knees, wiping his sweaty brow with his forearm and wondering if the day would ever end. Ruben Villa III, Villa’s father, blurted out, “Do you want to do this for the rest of your life? You better start getting serious about boxing,” or working in sweltering 90-degree heat in the fields would become a fact of life.

 

 

 

Villa, the gifted featherweight southpaw, was around 15 гадоў, у той час, and boxing was just something to fill the time. Though sweating in the gym certainly beat toiling for his father in the summer, lugging boxes, landscaping in what Villa describes as abig old yard,” and making deliveries.

 

 

 

“Бокс, мне, was hard at the time and I was too immature to understand the work that you had to put into it to be successful,” said Villa, які стане 21 next week. “I had to learn sacrifices were needed in order to be successful. Nothing was going to be handed to me. Once my father took me to work that day, I decided, ня, I’d rather get paid to beat someone up.

 

 

 

That next someone for Villa (10-0, 4 накаўты) could be Colombian Marlon Olea (13-2, 12 КО) in Villa’s first scheduled eight-rounder, from the Salinas Storm House, in Salinas, Каліфорнія, on Saturday night. This is the first time Villa will be fighting at home as a pro, ў якасці галоўнай падзеі.

 

 

 

When I’m sweating and working my ass off at the gym, I think back to the times I worked with my father and I’ll always remember that,” said Villa, the only boy of five children. “I’m not afraid of hard work but there are better ways to get paid. There are worse situations than boxing and boxing for a living can be a hard life too. You’re away from your family for a month and you’re sweating just as hard as when I worked for my father, who has a job in the agriculture business, doing everything from driving a forklift to making deliveries.

 

 

 

You appreciate hard work once you see what you’re doing to keep food on the table. You get a greater appreciation when you do what they do. I used to help my father when I was in my mid-teens a couple of times. I did whatever my father told me to do. It meant doing all of the moving, boxes, wooden pallets and this yard that was always dirty. I helped my dad with deliveries and cleaning that big old yard of his. I never wanted to go back to that.

 

It made Villa look at boxing differently.

 

 

 

This fight with Olea is another step for me,” said Villa, whose patience belies his age. “My time will come eventually. Я ведаю што. Olea, Я ведаю, is a Colombian who is 13-2 and he has 12 накаўты, so he comes pretty heavy-handed. My sparring went well. I had some heavier guys come in and I’m ready to show what I can do.

 

 

 

Villa is hoping his career continues on an upward trajectory, so he can one day professionally meet 2016 U.S. Olympic silver medalist Shakur Stevenson, who Villa defeated twice in 2015, як аматар. The 5-foot-6 Villa, who started boxing when he was five to curb his overly rambunctious behavior, and Stevenson, хто 5-0, з 2 KOs as a pro, are both featherweights.

 

 

 

After Villa beat Stevenson the second time in 2015, Stevenson made the photo of the referee raising Villa’s hand the screensaver on his cell phone. Stevenson got his revenge by beating Villa twice at the Olympic Trials, у снежні 2015, to earn a spot on the U.S. team for the 2016 Rio Olympics.

 

 

 

Somewhere down the line, I’m pretty sure me and Stevenson will happen again,” Villa said. “I want to see him again. Once we make a name for ourselves, гэта адбудзецца. We’ll get that fight in and there is a rivalry between us. I know more people in boxing may know him more than they know me but I don’t care.

 

 

 

I’ve always had the idea to push through with hard work. I’ll get mine eventually.

Ruben Villa Eyes First Title Saturday Night from Salinas, ТАКОЙ ЯК

Photo Credit Carlos Baeza / Томпсан Boxing Promotions

Філадэльфія, Пенн. /ORANGE, Халіф. (Красавіка 11, 2018) – Top featherweight prospect Ruben Villa (10-0, 4 КО)looks to add the first championship of his young career when he battles Colombian Marlon Olea (13-2, 12 КО) за вакантны WBO Youth Title this Saturday night from the Salinas Storm House in Salinas, Халіф.

 

 

 

 

Villa, які ператварае 21 next week, will be fighting in his hometown for the first time as a professional.

 

 

 

 

There’s a lot of firsts for this fight,” Villa said. “It’s a great feeling to fight for a title and to do it in my home city with me as the headliner [also a first], гэта мара. These are the types of fights I’ve been working toward ever since I was little.

 

 

 

 

The southpaw with fast hands and high IQ split his training camp from the arid climate of Riverside, Каліфорнія., to the coastal weather of Salinas. Villa faced a variety of sparring partners to prepare for the quick hitting style that Olea will bring on Saturday night.

 

 

 

 

The key to any training camp is to get tested against quality fighters,” said Villa, who is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing. “I went against boxers that were real slick with their movements, and others that came forward and threw a lot of punches. I feel confident in what I want to do against Olea.

 

 

 

 

In addition to making his first headlining appearance on “Новая кроў,” Villa also fights for the first time at 8-rounds. He is coming off three straight 6-round unanimous decision victories. Until recently, Villa had won every round on every scorecard in his six decision wins with the exception of dropping one round on one scoresheet against Juan Sandoval in February.

 

 

 

 

Olea, for what it’s worth, holds a unanimous decision loss to WBA world champion Danny Roman from November of 2016. That matchup was contested at 122-pounds, while Saturday night’s fight is set for 126-pounds. Villa would appear to have the size advantage, as he is a natural featherweight with room to fill out as he gets older.

 

 

 

 

In this sport, you take any advantage you can get,” Villa remarked. “He’s still a talented guy so I can’t get over confident on that.

PRESSER QUOTES
Sal Musumeci, CEO of The Real Deal Boxing: “We’re honored to be here in Rhode Island. So many champs come through here and we’re here for that reason and its great boxing fans. I’ve been promoting 20 years with more than 400 shows worldwide. I know where we want to go to places with people who appreciate boxing.
Evander and I got together to put together The Real Deal Boxing because we want the same shows, two warriors in the ring, and that’s what you’re going to see Пятніца night at The Stand. Thanks for accepting is here. Toka is a great inspiration. When I first heard his story, my COO (Eric Bentley) sad we need to sign him. He’s in a tough fight. Toka accepted the challenge because he believes he’ll be world champion.
Turchi is an undefeated cruiserweight who will grow into a heavyweight. An Italian heavyweight like the great Rocky Marciano who fought in providence so many times.
I guarantee у пятніцу night you’ll see the most competitive fights in Providence in many years.
Эвандер Холіфілд: “I’m honored to be here. A big part of me being a promoter is how can I help boxing? I started at eight, when I was told I’d be like Ali. I believed that, but I had to ask my mother (permission to box). I was a four-time heavyweight world champion, but I also had my ups and downs. I tell them (my fighters), if they listen and ask me for advice, I will tell them. The problems today with millennials is that there’s really nobody to tell them. Just ask me, I tell them.
I bring a lot to boxing, but I won’t say I will make my fighters champions. I will give them an opportunity to be champion. I had opportunities and never quit. If you set goals and you don’t quit, you’ll reach that goal. Correct your mistakes and don’t quit. These fighters need to believe in me but, што яшчэ больш важна, they need to believe in themselves. I can give them advice because I’ve done it. I’m on their side.
Току Кан Клари-: I want to thank Evander, Sal and everybody on my team for having me fight in my state. I also want to thank my manger, trainer and Dan Crotty. Я шчаслівы быць тут. Boxing isn’t easy, but it is the path I’ve chosen. I’m fighting here on national television, representing my city and state.
I’m going to put on a show December 1вуліца. It’s not going to be easy but I’m going in the ring to give it my all. I can’t wait to fight!”
Seth DeRobbio, manager of Toka Kahn-Clary, Ірвін Гансалес, Нік DeLomba & Тымі Рамас:
I want to thank Sal and Evander for giving Providence good fights. This is a great opportunity for Toka, who is fighting a 19-0 праціўнік, setting up a 2018 to be a big year for him. З надзеяй, we’ll be bringing something very big to Providence, занадта. You won’t know who is going to win Пятніца night until the fights are over.
Пітэр Манфрэд, Sr., head trainer for Kahn-Clary: “I’d like to thank Evander, Seth, the whole crew (The Real Deal Boxing). When Seth mentioned signing Toka with Evander, I soon learned that they take care of their fighters, no BS. Listen to them and you’ll make it to the top.
Toka Kahn-Clary is the best fighter I’ve ever had, I’ve had a lot of good ones. Toka is always in condition, he works hard and has an iron chin. He wants to be a legend and I’m going to do everything to help him.
Fabio Turchi:I’m really happy to be here. I want to thank Real Deal Boxing for having faith in me. I will try to do my best to put on a great show. The people here mean a lot to me and I want to make the Italian-Americans here in Providence proud of me.
Нік DeLomba: I want to thank Evander for putting me on this card. I grew up watching his fights on video; he is my idol and I’m honored to be fighting on his card. Я прыйшоў, каб змагацца. My opponent is a tough fighter who’ll bring his best.
