FILADÈLFIA / LOS ANGELES – Juliol 1, 2019 -This past Saturday night, Brandon Adams announced himself as a top contender as he put on a gutsy performance against undefeated WBC World Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo in Charlo’s hometown of Houston.


The bout was the main event that and was televised live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®, in which Adams gave a strong account for himself.


Adams took some of the best shots that the power punching Charlo could throw, and not only was Adams never hurt in the fight, in the later rounds, he began to take the fight to the hometown champion.


I was ready to risk it all. I went into the fight looking to dominate and get the stoppage victory. I knew going into the fight that is what I needed to do going into his hometown,” va dir Adams.


Adams was not in the least intimidated by stepping into enemy territory, but there were a few things that happened during the fight that he did not expect which hindered his gameplan.


The referee would not let me get low. As you saw during the fight, I was crouching down to get inside, but the referee gave me a warning for doing that. I had to think of a different way to get in there without revealing myself,” continued Adams.


Encara, the television announcers and many on social media seemed surprised at the gutsy effort from Adams, the Watts, California native was very confident of his abilities as he entered the ring on Saturday night.


“Em sento bé. I knew I was capable of being on that level. I took out of the fight is that there are a few little things that I can work on and that I could have done in there. I did not know the referee would not let me get low or even let us fight in close as much as I wanted. I felt he would break us a little quickly. I also got hit in the back of the head a couple of times. Fighting in his hometown was tough.


I know this fight will help me better myself. Coming out of The Contender, my goal was to fight at 154 lliura, but this was a world title opportunity. I proved that I am on that level at 160, and I will now look for the best opportunities at both 154 and 160.


We are very proud of Brandon. He fought very hard and put on a great performance,” said Artie Pelullo of Banner Promotions. “Brandon proved that he is a world class fighter, and now the world has seen what we already knew, that he is on the elite level. There will be many doors that will be open for him to secure more big fights.


I was impressed on how Brandon performed,” said Jeff Wald, Co-Creator and Co-Executive Producer of The Tournament of Contenders. “He has a big career ahead of him at both 154 i 160 lliures.”

HOUSTON (Maig 30, 2019) – Unbeaten WBC Interim Middleweight Champion and Houston-native Jermall Charlo went face to face with middleweight contender Brandon AdamsThursday at a press conference in Charlo’s hometown to preview their showdown Saturday, Juny 29 en viu per SHOWTIME (9 p.m. ET / 6 pm. PT) from NRG Arena and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.



Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment en viu, which is promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased through Ticketmaster. Charlo vs. Adams is promoted in association with Banner Promotions and The Tournament of Contenders.



Al SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® esdeveniment principal, Charlo will fight in Houston for the first time since 2012, as he looks to further cement his place amongst the middleweight elite against Adams, who shot up the 160-pound rankings by winning the 2018 reboot of The Contender.



Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Hotel ZaZa Museum District in Houston:



Charlo JERMALL



“Me and my brother Jermell have been through so much in boxing. We’ve been doing it since we were eight-years-old. To make it to this world class level and to do it for Houston, it feels great.



“It’s going to be fireworks. I’m coming for the knockout every time. Houston is hot and the heat is going to be there fight night. I’m going to do what I normally do and give the crowd excitement.



“Ronnie Shields has changed me from being a kid to realizing who I am as a man in the sport of boxing. He’s had world champions before me so I know he can judge my progression. He’s going to make sure I stay at this level.



“I’m walking in the ring and I’m handling my business. This is definitely a step up fight for Brandon Adams, but I’m only worried about what I have to do. I’m just going to prepare to be my best. We’re going to both give it our all and I will be victorious.



“Boxing is about experiences and I’m still learning. I’m going to have my ups and downs, because no fighter is perfect. But I will always prepare myself well and that’s why I’m still undefeated. I needed a fight like my last one to get even better.



“I’m going to finish this fight. My goal is to make quick work of Brandon and show him that there are levels to this. You might be a contender, but it’s another thing to be a champion.



“I get a lot of juice from the hometown crowd. Just having my family there alone is what I really need to get the nerves and excitement to where I need them. I’m going to be comfortable and I’m going to stick to my game plan. I’m not here to make mistakes.



“Thus far camp has been great. I feel awesome and I’m well prepared. It’s an amazing feeling to be fighting in my hometown. It’s almost a dream come true to me. To have my own card at this level and on this stage, it shows the support Houston has for me.”



BRANDON ADAMS



“I appreciate the opportunity I have to step into the ring with this man across from me. I’m super excited about it and I can’t wait. These are two top fighters getting in the ring and we’re going to give the fans a show.



“It’s not just what I see in Jermall, it’s what I believe in myself. The combo of working with Dub Huntley and Freddie Roach is perfect. They are both seasoned vets and they teach me something new every day.



“I didn’t expect my road to be easy because it’s never been easy for me. I’m on the road and I understand that. I’m prepared to pack my bags and go wherever I need to, so that I can become what I’m supposed to become. The best man will win on June 29.



“Before The Contender I felt that I didn’t have an opportunity to show how good I am. During the whole series it was about getting back in the ring and shaking off the rust, then showcasing who I am.



“Winning The Contender helped get me here, but I always had confidence and believed in myself since day one. In choosing to accept Charlo’s challenge, I had it in my mind that I belong here.



“It was pressure every time I fought on The Contender. Each round were quality opponents leading up to the final and all of that will prepare me for Charlo. He deserves everything he’s gotten and I respect him as a man, but I’m going to take advantage of this opportunity.



“His team didn’t have to fight me, but they chose to. I appreciate his fans coming out to support him because they’ll see both of us. Hopefully I can win some of them over.”



Ronnie Shields, Entrenador de Charlo



“We’ve done a lot of studying of Brandon Adams and he’s a really good fighter. Guanyar The Contender is not an easy feat. He’s truly a contender, so we have to make sure we’re working hard every single day.



“We’re not sitting back and waiting for someone to fight us. We have to continue to be busy. You still have to fight hard fights when you’re at the top and that’s what we’re doing. We’re preparing the right way.



“I’m so happy that everybody has come out to support Jermall because he’s been waiting to make his homecoming and this is it. It’s important to see everyone on his side.”



DUB HUNTLEY, Adams’ Trainer



“I hope everybody comes out for this one because it’s going to be a great fight. I’ve been with Brandon for a long time and I know that he’s going to win this fight and put on a memorable performance. Charlo is a great fighter but Brandon has all the tools necessary to come into his hometown and get the victory.”

A NEF ES CORONA UN NOU CAMPIÓ DE PES MITJÀ 39

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA: Lewiston, Maine (Maig 22, 2019) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF) torna dissabte a l'Androscoggin Bank Colisee, Juny 22 amb el seu proper esdeveniment d'arts marcials mixtes, “NEF 39: TOTAMERICANA.” El dia d'avui, la promoció de lluita va anunciar l'addició d'una lluita pel títol amateur a la carta. Carlton Charles (3-2) s'enfrontarà a Jordan Norman (2-1) per al cinturó vacant de pes mitjà amateur.

Abans d'entrar a les files de MMA, Carlton Charles va deixar la seva empremta al camp de futbol. Va jugar a Windham High School de Windham, Maine i més tard va dirigir l'equip a un títol de classe A com a entrenador ajudant. Charles va passar a jugar de fullback a la Universitat de Maine Black Bears. Va fer el seu debut a NEF l'estiu de 2017 amb una victòria per nocaut de 23 segons. Superaria aquesta actuació amb una victòria per nocaut de 12 segons el febrer de 2018. Després d'un intent infructuós de capturar el títol de pes welter amateur contra Duncan Smith (5-3) juny passat, Charles va tornar a la gàbia fa un mes a Nova Hampshire i va aconseguir una altra victòria per nocaut a la primera ronda..

“Com sempre, Em sento beneït i molt agraït per l'oportunitat de lluitar pel cinturó,” va dir en Charles.  “Sé que Jordan ha recorregut un llarg camí en aquest esport i sempre està entrenant dur i millorant. Miraré que no m'atrapi cap d'aquells grans ganxos de carn que té per les mans. És un noi molt poderós, i m'entrenaré dur com sempre per poder sortir i rendir al màxim. Sé que els meus entrenadors em tindran preparat per a aquesta! No tinc cap dubte que els fans tindran un autèntic plaer amb aquest.”

Jordan Norman ha recorregut un llarg camí des del seu debut a NEF el juny passat. Va perdre aquella nit per nocaut a la primera ronda, però Norman tornaria disparant en els seus dos combats següents. Va guanyar una decisió dividida sobre John Assam (0-1) la tardor passada, i tot just el mes passat va acabar Greg Ishihara (0-1) a la segona ronda. Norman representa el Bad Little Falls Dojo.

"Estic honrat per l'oportunitat d'entrar a la gàbia de la NEF i competir pel títol amateur contra algú com Carlton.,” va exclamar Norman. “Ell i jo oferirem un espectacle infernal per al públic de Lewiston. Tots dos venim a lluitar i no serà diferent el 22 de juny. No tinc res més que respecte per ell i el seu equip. Estic entusiasmat per la tasca que tinc i descartar-la pel títol de pes mitjà".

La lluita pel títol de pes mitjà entre Charles i Norman és la quarta ja anunciada per al “NEF 39” targeta. Josh “Enganxa't” Harvey (6-0-1) està programat per defensar el títol professional de pes ploma contra Jordan Downey (5-4), mentre que Nate Boucher (4-3) enfrontarà a Robert Presley (5-4) per al cinturó vacant de pes mosca masculí amateur, i la invicta Glory Watson (4-0) s'enfronta a Caree Hill (4-1) per coronar la primera campiona de pes mosca femení amateur de NEF. També anunciat per a la targeta, Jesse “El Víking” Erickson (9-7) s'enfronta a Lewis Corapi (8-5) en un combat professional lleuger.

“NEF 39: TOTAMERICANA,” tindrà lloc dissabte, Juny 22, 2019 al Androscoggin Banc Colisee a Lewiston, Maine amb un temps de campana de 7 pm. Les butlletes estan a la venda a www.TheColisee.com.

Troy Isley arriba a la victòria més important, Preparant-se per 2020 Jocs Olímpics


COLORADO SPRINGS, Volta. (Maig 6, 2019) – Boxa dels EUA pes mitjà troy Isley arriba de la victòria més important de la seva jove carrera, quan va derrotar el 2016 Medallista d'or olímpic, de Cuba Arlen López, a la recent eliminatòria dels Jocs Panamericans a Managua, Nicaragua.


López va servir de baròmetre positiu per a Isley pel que fa al seu potencial 2020 carrera olímpica. “Vencer a López és la meva victòria més gran fins ara,” Isley va admetre. “Va guanyar una medalla d'or als últims Jocs Olímpics. Vaig venjar la meva pèrdua amb ell 2017. Gairebé vam lluitar a The Continentals, però va perdre als quarts de final, i vaig perdre a les semifinals. Ens podríem enfrontar de nou al juliol als Jocs Panamericans.”

En 2017, Isley va aconseguir una medalla d'or als Campionats del Món Elite, que va suposar la primera per a un boxejador d'elit nord-americà en sis anys. Ha avançat any rere any, prenent els màxims honors a la 2012 & 2013 Campionats Nacionals de PAL, 2014 Jocs Olímpics nacionals juvenils, 2016 & 2017 Campionats Nacionals Elit. Fins al moment d'aquest any, a més de guanyar a la qualificació dels Jocs Panamericans, també va guanyar l'or al Torneig Strandja de Bulgària.

Assoliments no massa cutre per a un nen a qui realment no li agradava la boxa, sobretot en comparació amb el futbol, que era el seu esport preferit de gran.

“Quan vaig tornar al gimnàs, vaig entrenar, Alexandria (Virginia) Club de Boxa,” Entrenador ajudant de la selecció dels EUA Kay Koromba recordat,” necessitaven ajuda amb un nen petit, troy Isley. Vaig tenir una conversa senzilla amb ell. Va dir que tornaria al gimnàs si hi fos entrenant. No vaig tornar durant una estona i ell no va tornar. Finalment em vaig fer càrrec del gimnàs quan l'entrenador va marxar, i Troia va tornar.

“Troy és amiga Keyshawn Davés (El número de boxa dels EUA. 1-classificat lleuger). Tots dos viuen a Virgínia (Troia a Alexandria, Keyshawn a Newport) i entrena amb mi a l'Alexandria Boxing Club, quan no vivim ni entrenem a Colorado Springs. Van lluitar de petits i es van fer bons amics. Tots els altres boxejadors aquí els miren.”

“Jo només era 8 i al principi no m'agradava molt la boxa,” Isley, ara de 20 anys, va parlar de la seva introducció a la boxa amateur. “M'interessen més els esports d'equip com el futbol, però vaig deixar la boxa quan vaig optar per competir als Box-Offs. Només volia ser un nen i no pots jugar a boxa. Vaig tornar al gimnàs i vaig colpejar a tothom. L'entrenador Kay va dir al meu pare que em podria convertir en campió nacional, i això em va donar molta autoestima.”

Un boxejador que es descriu a si mateix, Isley és una intel·ligent, boxejador ben parlat amb ulls posats en el futur, fora de la boxa, fent cursos de negocis en línia a través de la Universitat DeVry. “Ho puc fer tot,” va oferir sobre el seu estil de boxa. “Estic treballant per utilitzar més cops per ser un millor boxejador complet. El cop posa en marxa l'ofensa. Estic treballant en el meu jab perquè pots guanyar baralles amb un jab.”

Els promotors estan fent cua per presentar les seves empreses per fitxar Isley, que té un pla definitiu que implica fer el 2020 Equip Olímpic de Boxa dels Estats Units, medalla al Japó, i després convertir-se en professional.

“Els Jocs Olímpics només falta un any,” va assenyalar Isley. “Estic a prop de Keyshawn i Shakur(Stevenson, 2016 Medalla de plata olímpica i an 11-0 perspectiva professional). Entrenar amb ells ens facilita les coses a tots. Ens conduïm i entrenem contra diferents estils. Sempre estic agafant coses noves. Ens ajudem mútuament entrenant, combat, i només parlant. Sempre estem junts, ja sigui a Alexandria o a Colorado Springs. Shakur encara hi va per fer un bon sparring.

“Shakur ens explica molt sobre les seves experiències als Jocs Olímpics i ara com a professional. Keyshawn i jo sempre hem parlat d'estar junts a l'equip olímpic de boxa dels EUA. Seguim treballant dur i mantenint-nos concentrats. Ha estat el nostre somni.”

Els somnis es fan realitat però, primer, Isley es prepara per als Jocs Panamericans i, possiblement, el seu partit de goma amb el medallista d'or olímpic defensor, López.

The biggest week in boxing is upon us with the annual Cinco de Mayo weekend extravaganza in Las Vegas. The Mexican marquee star Saul “Canelo” Alvarez returns to his home-away-from-home to face the challenge of fellow middleweight titlist, Daniel “Miracle Man” Jacobs, who is intent on spoiling the homecoming.

Can Canelo sprinkle some extra cinnamon on an explosive victory? Or will it be Jacobs who provides another miracle in his story-book comeback?

ÈXITS DE L'ANELL

WBC superwelter campió (’11-’13)
AMB superwelter campió (‘13)
Ring Magazine Junior Middleweight Champion ('13)
Campió de pes mitjà del CMB (’15-Pres)
WBA Middleweight Champion (’18-Pres)

WBA Super Middleweight Champion (’18-Pres)
Ring Magazine Pound-4-Pound #3 Boxer


Jacobs:
WBA Middleweight Champion (’14-‘17)
IBF Middleweight Champion (’18-‘Pres)

ESTIL

Alvarez:
Una agressiva, physical fighter with underrated boxing skills, Alvarez sovint porta oponents avall amb pressió constant i cops de mà dura. Will use feints and counters to throw is opponent’s timing off and create openings for a strength-sapping body attack. Porta poder de canvi de lluita a les dues mans, però de vegades no llança prou cops. Tot i que és més conegut per les seves habilitats ofensives, Álvarez té decent, però no és genial, habilitats defensives lliscament i bloqueig de cops.

Jacobs:
A lanky, long-armed boxer with versatile skills who often fights aggressively and is not afraid to exchange punches. Jacobs couples good boxing skills and fundamentals with knockout power in both hands. Will sometimes be too offensive-minded and is susceptible to counter punches. Shows tremendous heart in the face of adversity.








FORTALESES

Alvarez:
* Power – Alvarez carries thunder in both fists. He has knockout power in either hand, però la seva arma més devastadora resideix en la seva ganxo d'esquerra, especially to the body. He has three knockout-of-the-year candidates in his career.

* Resistència - Alvarez és un lluitador físicament maduració i construïdes densament amb la força misteriosa. És eficaç per donar suport als lluitadors, fins i tot quan no desembarquin cops rasants. He has grown from junior-middleweight and has competed recently at super-middleweight.

* Experience – Alvarez has come a long way during his professional career and has competed against some of the biggest names in boxing. He has been in this moment numerous times and the raucous atmosphere will be second nature to him.


Jacobs:
* Character – Jacobs stood up to and defeated the most daunting adversary of his career when he overcame bone cancer in 2011. His character shows in the ring as he has handled some difficult challenges in his career.

* Power – Jacobs has registered 29 de la seva 35 professional victories via stoppage. He has the power to change the fight with one punch and the killer instinct to finish a wounded opponent.


* Versatile – Jacobs possesses good boxing skills and movement, sometimes switching between orthodox and southpaw stances. If against another aggressive opponent, Jacobs will box on his back foot and seek counter-punching opportunities. He is adept at accelerating the pace when needed.




DEBILITATS

Alvarez:
* Tactical Mistakes – Alvarez has made tactical mistakes in some previous fights, including trying to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. by boxing with him on the outside. In other fights, he has allowed his opponents to control the pace and steal rounds.

* Easy-to-Hit – While his offensive skill is his calling card, Alvarez has a decent defense. When he loses focus or becomes overly aggressive, he is wide open for straight right hands and counter punches.

* Heavy Feet – Alvarez has good boxing ability but is often slow-footed in the ring. When matched against taller fighters with good lateral movement, he frequently struggles, as was the case in his bouts with Austin Trout and Erislandy Lara.


Jacobs:
* Suspect Chin – Jacobs is no stranger to tasting the canvas. He was knocked out in devastating fashion by Dmitry Pirog in his first professional loss. He was also on the canvas against Gennady Golovkin and Sergio Mora.

* Reckless – In his first fight against Mora, Jacobs became overly aggressive after scoring a knockdown and left himself wide open for a counter punch that put him on the canvas. He was also off-balance and reckless again when he had Peter Quillin stunned.

* Atmosphere – Jacobs has fought in Las Vegas before and main-evented in Madison Square Garden. No obstant això, this is his first marquee Las Vegas Cinco-de-Mayo weekend extravaganza.



COMBAT ANTERIOR

Alvarez: (12/15/18) – Alvarez made a successful super-middleweight debut by destroying the game but overmatched Rocky Fielding in three rounds. Alvarez punished Fielding’s body, anotant quatre caigudes, and finishing him with his signature left hook to the liver.

Jacobs:
(10/27/18) – Jacobs had a tough encounter with undefeated but unknown Serhiy Derevianchenko, winning a 12-round split decision. Jacobs scored a 1st-round knockdown and landed more punches during the back-and-forth contest.



3 MILLORS PRESTACIONS

Alvarez:
* James Kirkland (5/9/15) – The fireworks were on display from the opening bell as Kirkland engaged Alvarez with a kamikaze attack. Alvarez countered and scored a 1st-round knockdown and ended the fight in the 3
rd round with a picturesque right hand.

* Liam Smith (9/17/16) – Alvarez methodically broke down the previously-undefeated Smith, controlling the bout from the beginning. Alvarez scored knockdowns in the 7
º i 8º rounds before ending the show with his left hook to the liver in the 9º ronda.

* Carlos Baldomir (9/18/10) – Alvarez was a 20-year-old prodigy facing a durable former world champion in Baldomir. Álvarez va tenir èxit en boxa d'hora i va utilitzar els seus avantatges en velocitat i habilitat per escombrar les primeres cinc rondes.. Però va ser la seva exhibició a la 6a la que va ser memorable. Álvarez va sacsejar Baldomir abans de caure finalment amb un ganxo esquerre, deixant-ho inconscient abans que caigués la taula i el que tracta la seva única derrota atur en una cursa de 16 anys.



Jacobs:
* Sergio Mora (9/9/16) – Jacobs wiped away any controversy from their first fight, which ended with Mora injuring his ankle, by dissecting him in the rematch, culminating in an impressive 7
º TKO rodó. Jacobs scored a knockdown each in the 4º i 5º rounds before opening up and dropping Mora three times in the 7º ronda, forcing the stoppage.

* Peter Quillin (12/5/15) – In a battle for Brooklyn Bragging Rights, Jacobs stunned the undefeated and favored Quillin with a 1
st TKO rodó. Jacobs landed a right hand early, sending Quilling staggering into the ropes. A follow-up flurry sent Quillin across the ring where the referee stopped the fight.

* Caleb Truax (4/24/15) – Jacobs dominated Truax with a masterful performance over 11 rondes, controlling the action with a heavy jab, and wearing his game opponent down. Comfortably ahead going into the final round, Jacobs unloaded on his weakened adversary until the referee saved him from further punishment.




CLAUS PER LA VICTÒRIA

Alvarez:
* Start fast and don’t allow Jacobs to become confident

* Cut off the ring and force Jacobs to fight in confined spaces

* Go to the body early and often



Jacobs:
* Use a stiff jab and lateral movement to keep Alvarez off balance

* Land something to get Alvarez’s respect early

* Do not get reckless







PREGUNTES

Alvarez:
* Will the move back to middleweight drain Alvarez?

* Is Alvarez overlooking Jacobs?

* Will Alvarez become frustrated if Jacobs uses effective lateral movement?


Jacobs:
* Can Jacobs win a decision in Las Vegas?

* Will Jacobs be able to exploit Alvarez’s tactical shortcomings?

* How will Jacobs handle the pro-Alvarez atmosphere?



PENECALE PREDICCIÓ

The crowd will be buzzing at the opening bell. Alvarez will move forward, hands up, probing with his jab and trying to set his feet. Jacobs will be moving laterally, pawing a tentative jab and using head feints. The cautious 1
st round will end with Alvarez stepping in and throwing a few hard body shots, causing the partisan crowd to erupt in cheers.

By Joseph Santoliquito/BWAA President

In a pivotal year for women’s boxing that saw the sport reach more
people than ever before, two-time United States Olympic gold medal
winner Claressa Shields continued to soar, as she successfully defended her two world middleweight titles, then added three super middleweight belts before the end of a campaign that earned her the 2018 Christy
Martin Award, which is given to the Boxing Writers Association of
America’s Female Fighter of the Year.


I am thrilled and honored to receive the Fighter of the Year award from the Boxing Writers Association of America. It is a dream come true, and it furthers my goal to lift women’s boxing to new levels,” va dir Shields.


“En 2019 my goals are to become undisputed champion, to be ranked in the top 10 pound-for-pound list regardless of gender, and to continue
the march of women’s boxing toward equality with men.


The 23-year-old from Flint, Michigan becomes the second winner of the award, which was established in 2017. She will be honored at the
BWAA’s annual award dinner, which will take place in 2019 at a site and date to be determined.


In such a big year for women’s boxing, it wasn’t a surprise that there
were so many worthy nominees for this award, but in 2018, Claressa
Shields took things to a new level by becoming a two-division world
champion and successfully defending her titles at both 168 i 160
pounds in Showtime and HBO-televised bouts,” said Thomas Gerbasi,
chairman of the BWAA’s women’s boxing committee. “That’s impressive in its own right, but the fact that she’s done this all before her tenth pro
fight and under the glare of the spotlight that comes with being the face of the sport in the United States made her a unanimous choice for this
year’s Christy Martin Award.


Joining Roy Jones Jr., Andre Ward and the late Emanuel Steward as
members of the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame’s Class of 2018, Shields began the year on a collision course with middleweight
champion Christina Hammer, but first she finished up her business at
168 pounds by successfully defending her IBF and WBC titles with a
shutout victory over Tori Nelson in January.

Next was Shieldsmiddleweight debut against Hanna Gabriels in June,
and what followed was a Fight of the Year candidate that saw Shields
rebound from the first knockdown of her career to win a clear-cut
decision and the IBF and WBA belts. Poc després, the news came that
Hammer had to withdraw from her November clash with Shields due to
lesió, però “T-Rex” didn’t slow down, as she defeated Hannah Rankin and Femke Hermans to successfully defend her middleweight titles while
adding the WBC crown to her trophy case.

Marcos Hernandez Looking to Steal the Show on The Contender Finale

FRESNO, TAL COM (Novembre 8, 2018) – De pes mitjà “Home boig” Marcos Hernández (12-1-1, 3 KOs) will look to continue his recent success on The Contender finale this Friday at The Forum in Inglewood, Califòrnia. The 6-round bout will be televised on EPIX, as he takes on fellow cast member Quantavious Cash (10-1, 7 KOs).

Hernández, who hails from Fresno, TAL COM, is the only cast member of The Contender that didn’t lose a single fight on the show, besides Shane Mosley Jr.. (11-2, 8 KOs) i Brandon Adams (20-2, 13 KOs), who will meet in the finals. En la seva baralla més recent, Hernandez defeated Daniel Valdivia (14-3, 10 KOs) in a fight that Valdivia was rocked badly in the last two rounds. Some controversy happened after the bout as Valdivia was originally announced the winner, despite being out boxed and beaten, an official at ringside counted the scores again and realized a judging error and announced Hernandez, the rightful winner.

On top of the bizarre ending, Hernandez was cut in the fight and forced to sit, because of his cut. Valdivia replaced him and got dropped and beaten by Shane Mosely Jr., who now is in the finals.

Hernandez is readier than ever now to make things happen as he wishes to keep his momentum moving forward and face the best in the division.

I have had a great camp with my trainer Henry Ramirez in Riverside, com, and I am ready for Friday night.” va dir Hernández. “I am going to show all of my skills when I step in the ring and I’m going to steal the show.

I have never seen Hernandez train this hard, be this motivated and want to prove a point this badly,” stated his longtime advisor, Peter Lopes. “This is a different ‘Mad Man’.
