Leave a comment

LAS VEGAS (Setembre 21, 2020) – Undefeated, world-rated Mexican welterweightSantiago “Somer” Dominguez (22-0, 17 KOs) will be back in action this Saturday (Set. 26) a Mèxic, when he pursues yet another title belt, the vacant North American Boxing Federation (NABF), to add to his growing collection.

The 28-year-old Dominguez, fighting out of Obregon, sonora, Mèxic, és el Consell Mundial de Boxa vigent (CMB) FECARBOX and USNBC (Estats Units) 147-pound champion. Saturday night he headlines a De La O Promotions card in Cocorit, sonora, Mexico. Ranked No. 14 en el CMB i No. 1 in the NABF, the fierce knockout artist faces fellow countrymanJose Rosario Cazarez (19-5-1, 10 KOs) in the 10-round main event for the vacant NABF crown.Cobbs Blair reportedly relinquished his NABF championship rather than fight his mandatory defense versus rising star Dominguez.

“I was surprised and humbled when I found out I was fighting for the vacated NABF belt,” Dominguez commented.  “I will not disappoint in this fight; my coaches have me ready.”

“We believe Santiago Dominguez will be a world champion,” said his promoter, RJJ Boxing CEO and co-founderKeith Veltre.  “He’s the highest ranked Mexican welterweight in the world and more than ready to move up to the next level. This will be his next step towards becoming the future of the welterweight division. We appreciate the chance for Santiago to fight for the NABF championship”

Cazarez, who is unbeaten in his last seven fights (6-0-1), has been stopped only once, four years ago. Santiago will certainly test his chin.

Dominguez’ head trainer, Alfredo “Pollo “ Ozuna, va serSaul “Canelo” Alvarez’ original coach. “ Dominquez is focused and sharp this camp,” Ozuna noted. “Santiago will display better footwork and an offense featuring speed, volume and crushing power.  His opponent will meet the canvas and Santiago will be wearing the NABF title belt home.”

“Our team is very appreciative for the opportunity awarded us from Mr.Duane Ford and the NABF,” Santiago’s managerTerry Hollan addicional. “It is certainly an honor!"

Undefeated rising star Jamaine “El Tècnic” Ortiz In developmental process on way to top

All pictures by Emily Harney / Fightography

WORCESTER, Missa. (Març 11, 2020) – Fresh off his sensational hometown debut last month, Jamaine “El Tècnic” Ortiz (13-0, 7 KOs) is in the middle of a developmental process that is, amb optimisme, headed to the top of the 135-pound division by 2022.

The 23-year-old Ortiz, who will abdicate his World Boxing Council (CMB) Youth World lightweight title next month when he turns 24 because he’ll be overage, headlined a Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES) show February 28º at the famed Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Despite fighting for the first time in six months, Ortiz showed no signs of rust, forcing Mexican knockout specialist “Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-6, 17 KOs), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion, to take a knee after landing a crisp uppercut and then finishing him off later in the second round with three overhand rights.

Ortiz, Sense classificar. 16 by the North American Boxing Federation (NABF), gained invaluable exposure headlining the CES event, which was streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®, el servei de subscripció digital líder del món per a esports de combat.

“There was no reason of any rust,” Ortiz explained. “I had been working hard in the gym for several months, where I always do my best. Maybe the bright lights (fighting at home for the first time) affected me a little? It was a little different going through the fans (on his ring walk) to get to the ring (on stage). I picture much bigger things in my future, so I can’t let small stuff like that put me off my game. But I settled in quickly and felt comfortable.

“I hit him with a good uppercut to the jaw. I figured he’d get up, because he had a late reaction when he went down, but I knew it was over when I hit him with three overhand rights. I really hurt him with the last punch as he was going down. I didn’t say it publicly, but I told some people that I would knock him out in the second round, and I did what I said I’d do. I knew early that it was only going to be a matter of time.”

Ortiz displayed his lightning quick hands and feet, also switching effortlessly from orthodox to southpaw, Jamaine plans to return to work next week as a union carpenter and he’s already started running before he gets back in the gym.

A decorated amateur who had an impressive 100-14 registre, highlighted by consecutive New England Golden Gloves titles in 2015 & 2016, as well as a silver medal at the 2015 Guants d'Or Nacionals Torneig (he lost to current IBF World lightweight champion Teòfimo López a la final del campionat) and reaching the semifinals of the 2016 U.S. Proves Olímpiques, Ortiz is a potential star on the rise.

Because he’s only 23 there is no legitimate reason to push Ortiz at this stage of his young pro career when his developmental process is in gear. First up is his initially scheduled 10-round fight, possibly for a regional title, likely against an accomplished, experienced opponent who will give Jamaine invaluable rounds (he only has 52 rondes en el seu haver).

En 2021, the dream is for Ortiz to headline a major show at home in Worcester with world-ratings implications, at the new home of the Boston Red Sox’ AAA organization at Polar Park, which is being constructed now for an estimate construction cost of $100-million.

If all goes according to plans, Ortiz will challenge for a world title in 2022, at the latest.
The Ortiz Process has commenced with the goal of eventually developing him into a world titlist. Patience, encara que, is the key to building a champion!

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Setembre 22, 2018) – Tonight at Whataburger Field in Corpus Christi, TX, San Antonio’s female boxing sensation, Selina “reina asteca” Barris (5-0, 2 KOs), remained undefeated with a dominating 10-round unanimous decision victory over Patricia Juarez (4-1), sister of WBC Bantamweight champion, Mariana “Barbie” Juárez (50-9-4, 13 KOs). Amb la victòria, Barrios retains her NABF Lightweight title.

 

 

 

In the early rounds, both fighters were very active, throwing a lot of punches, but Barrios was the one landing the cleaner shots. Although Juarez was doing her best to box from the outside using a one-two combo, her power wasn’t enough to keep Barrios off her as she kept coming forward, landing her signature overhand right. Barrios hurt Juarez in round five, knocking her mouthpiece out with right hook, forcing the referee to stop the action momentarily. Juarez recovered but never was able to stop Barrios from coming forward as she continued to land thumping power shots. A clash of head butts cut Barrios on the forehead during the middle rounds, but she was never bothered by them. En les rondes posteriors, Barrios continued to apply pressure, forcing Juarez to fight on the inside. Juarez showed a lot of heart making it to the final bell but came up short as Barrios remains undefeated. Llegides targetes de puntuació 100-89 i 99-91 twice all in favor of Barrios.

 

 

 

“I felt I controlled the fight from the opening bell,” said Selina Barrios. “Juarez was a very tough opponent and I give her a lot of credit for going the distance. I hit her with a lot of power shots and she hung in there. I didn’t feel any power in her punches, so I kept coming forward. I got the victory and I’m ready to fight any of the champions at Lightweight. Katie Taylor, Mikaela Mayer i Amanda Serrano, I’m coming for you guys. You can run, but you can’t hide.”

Unbeaten 135-Pound NABF Champion Faces Unbeaten Foe Patricia Juarez Saturday, Setembre 22, Live From Whataburger Field in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Feu clic a AQUÍ for Photos from Mario Serrano

SANT ANTONI, TX (Setembre 13, 2018) – Undefeated NABF Lightweight champion, Selina “reina asteca” Barris (4-0, 2 KOs) is getting ready for her Corpus Christi Showdown on September 22, 2018, against Patricia Juarez (4-0), sister of WBC Bantamweight champion, Mariana “Barbie” Juárez (50-9-4, 13 KOs).

On the line will be Selina’s NABF Lightweight title. The 10-round bout will take place at Whataburger Field, home to the Corpus Christi Hooks, the double-A affiliate of the Houston Astros.

Training camp has begun and this is what Barrios has had to say:

On her recent training camp in San Antonio…

“Training camp has been very challenging but its going to be worth every minute. I feel very motivated for this camp. I truly believe I am the best in my division and for that to continue to be true, I must train harder than others, and that’s what I’m doing. I understand that Patricia Juarez is undefeated and a very tough opponent. That’s why I’m training extremely hard, because I respect her skill level. Serà una gran lluita per als aficionats.

On fighting Patricia Juarez…

“Patricia Juarez is a deserving and tough challenger. I am training as though I am going to be in a tough and grueling fight that will go the distance, but my mindset like my last fight is to also go for a knockout. I am training very hard for this fight and I want the fans to know that I am not taking my opponent lightly.

On fighting in Corpus Christi on the Baseball field for the Houston Astros organization…

“It is a dream come true when you work so hard at something, in my case boxing, and a major organization lets you fight in their facility. The Houston Astros organization is a staple of the city of Corpus Christi, and the entire state of Texas for all that matter. I love fighting in Texas, its where I’m from, and it is a major honor to entertain so many people, especially those who will be in attendance at Whataburger field on September 22nd. Everyone watching my fight, is going to see something special.

On defending her NABF Lightweight title..

“The NABF lightweight title means the world to me at this point in my career, and defending it is very important. I live for people to call me ‘champ’ and to not have a belt, would mean I didn’t work hard enough to keep it. I can’t let that happen, so I am working tremendously hard to keep this belt, because not just do I want to defend it, but I also want to fight for a world title as well, which means I cannot lose the NABF strap.

On the landscape of the lightweight division…

“This is the best division in all of women’s boxing in my opinion. We have Mikaela Mayer and Katie Taylor, who I think are two very talented fighters. I also think Amanda Serrano should be considered in this division, even though she went up multiple weight classes and made history by becoming a six-division world champ. Quite simply said, I want to fight all of them and I want to prove I am the best fighter in this division. I am training and working hard so that I can be the first female fighter to make a million dollars in the ring. I’m going to be a million-dollar baby, and my fighting style will be the reason.”

Selina BARRIS vs. PATRICIA JUAREZ
NABF LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE ON THE LINE FOR Setembre 22 SHOWDOWN

SANT ANTONI, TX (Agost 18, 2018) – Undefeated NABF Lightweight champion, Selina “reina asteca” Barris (4-0, 2 KOs), has an opponent for her Corpus Christi Showdown on September 22, 2018. Barris s'enfrontarà Patricia Juarez (4-0), sister of WBC Bantamweight champion, Mariana “Barbie” Juárez (50-9-4, 13 KOs).

 

 

 

On the line will be Selina’s NABF Lightweight title. The 10-round bout will take place at Whataburger Field, home to the Corpus Christi Hooks, the double-A affiliate of the Houston Astros.

 

 

 

“Patricia Juarez asked to fight me, and I feel that part of being a champion is accepting fights with worthy opponents,” said Selina Barrios, who hails from San Antonio, TX. “She is an undefeated fighter with the same record as me, and her sister is a future Hall of Famer. I look forward to making a title defense against a worthy challenger like Patricia Juarez.”

 

 

 

“I want to represent Mexico and fight on behalf of my country, and win this title for my people,” said Patricia Juarez, who trains in Denver, Colorado. “Vaig demanar aquesta lluita, and now I have it. I can’t wait to take advantage of this opportunity and follow in the footsteps of my sister Mariana. I’m going to bring home a victory for my people back home in Mexico.”

 

 

 

En el seu darrer combat, Barris, who is a devastating power-puncher, scored a sensational knockout against previously unbeaten, Aida “Lady Sparta” Satybaldinova (3-1-1). The knockout has already been featured on many boxing publications list for knockout of the year, as Barrios showed off uncanny punching power for the women’s lightweight division.

 

 

 

“Selina Barrios is one of the most talented fighters in the world and will be a force for anyone in her division,” dit Kerry Daigle, Selina Barris’ advisor. “What separates Selina from the rest of her peers, is her high-level ring intelligence, along with devastating punching power”

 

 

 

Barris, who captured the NABF Lightweight title in only her third pro fight is taking a Vasyl Lomachenko approach to women’s boxing as she is facing her third undefeated fighter in a row.

 

 

 

“Corpus Christi fell in love with Selina’s style and power in her last fight, and what she is doing in women’s boxing, hasn’t been done before,” dit Colin Campbell, who co-manages Barrios with his dad Charles. She is fighting the best opposition she can and knocking them out in dramatic fashion.

 

 

 

“No hi ha dubte en la meva ment, Selina will be the next female fighter to showcase her talents on a major network,” stated co-manager Charles Campbell. “She has the fighting style that everyone wants to see. She truly is the Roberto Duran of women’s boxing.

Leave a comment


SANT ANTONI, TX (Desembre 18, 2017) – The two most avoided female boxers’ in the country are about to face each other, in what looks to be an all-out war, when undefeated sensation, lleuger Selina “reina asteca” Barris, takes on the dangerous “preciós” Lisa Porter.
On the line will be the NABF lightweight title, as both fighters were granted by the NABF committee to fight for this respected belt. The 10-round bout will take place at the Rapides Parish Coliseum a Desembre 29, 2017, a Alexandria, LA. The only other female pro to fight for a major title this quickly is 2-time gold medalist Clarissa Shields.
When everyone in the lightweight division has refused to fight Barrios or Porter, the two agreed to fight each other. Barrios is a winner of four Ringside World Amateur Titles to go along with her many national championships. Porter was a decorated amateur herself, winning three National PAL championships, US Golden Gloves, and was a US National Silver medalist. Both fighters are coming in with undefeated records.
To put things in perspective, Barris’ last opponent Jasmine Clarkson, was world champion Katie Taylor’s sixth opponent, before Taylor fought for the WBA world title. In Porter’s case, she fought to a draw with Katonya Fisher, qui va derrotar Jessica McCaskill, who is just went the distance with Taylor for WBA world title.
“I’m very excited to be fighting for the NABF title,” said Selina Barrios. “All I want is an opportunity to win a world title, and winning the NABF belt will get me closer to my dream of becoming a world champion. I know I’m going to be facing a dangerous opponent in Lisa Porter, but nothing comes easy in boxing. Amb això es diu, I’m willing to fight anyone they put in front of me. I’m confident I can win this fight. I just want to fight the best and prove I’m elite.”
“I’m glad Selina Barrios and I have come to an agreement to make this fight happen, especially for the NABF title,” stated Lisa Porter. “It’s been tough getting opponents to step in the ring with me, so this is truly a blessing. I’m very grateful to the folks at the NABF for sanctioning this fight. Selina Barrios is going to be a tough test, but one I believe I can pass. The fans are going to see a great fight.”
“With Selina being the most avoided female fighter in boxing, I had to do my part on getting her ranked by the NABF,” said advisor Kerry Daigle. “It’s not going to be an easy road to the top. There’s a lot of good fighters out there with a lot of experience that she’s going to have to fight. That will be the case when Selina steps in the ring with Lisa Porter, who has a plethora of amateur experience. She, also is one of the most avoided fighters in the lightweight division. This will be a battle of two fighters who are putting everything on the line to advance their career to the next level.

Oxnard, Califòrnia: Ahir, OMB, WBA i IBF Campió Mundial de pes pesat lleuger Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev (30-0-1, 26 KOs) va fer un entrenament obert per als membres dels mitjans de comunicació abans del seu pròxim enfrontament "Pound For Pound". Novembre 19 contra Andre "S.O.G." Ward (30-0, 15 KOs) al T-Mobile Arena de Las Vegas i es distribueix en directe per HBO Pay-Per-View. També hi van assistir Curtis "L'assassí cerebral" Stevens (28-5, 21 KOs) que assumirà James “The King” De La Rosa (23-4, 13 KOs) pel títol de pes mitjà de l'AMB Continental Americas i Oleksandr "El clau" Gvozdyk (11-0, 9 KOs) que s'enfrontarà a Isaac “Golden Boy” Chilemba (24-4-2, 10 KOs) per al títol de pes lleuger NABF a l'emissió de pagament per visualització de Kovalev-Ward HBO.

Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev

OMB, AMB, i campió del món de pes lleuger de l'IBF

Kovalev: "Estic emocionat i tot va bé. Estic esperant aquest dia, Novembre 19, i estic preparat per lluitar".

 

SK: "No tinc res personal d'ell (Sala). Hauria de guanyar aquesta lluita, Només em queda demostrar (a) jo mateix qui sóc. Estic lluitant per mi primer de tot, i després d'això realment per als aficionats a la boxa. Aquesta és la meva carrera de boxa des d'aleshores 11 anys i ara mateix Andre Ward (és) a la meva manera. I vol aconseguir els meus títols, però encara estic viu".

 

SK: "No tinc cap pla per a cada baralla, només puja al ring i fes la meva feina. He d'estar preparat per a tot el que ell (Sala) portarà.”

 

SK: "Vaig tenir una mica d'experiència de la meva lluita contra Bernard Hopkins. Va demostrar que no es rendia mai. Que hauries de lluitar contra tots 12 rondes i esperem la teva victòria".

 

Interrogació: Espereu que Andre Ward us agafarà i us farà servir el cap??

SK: "Sí, crec que el farà servir i jo també estic preparat per a això. Serà lluitar i no lluitar [rialles]."

 

SK: "Crec que ell (Sala) es veurà molt millor en la meva lluita Novembre 19 perquè fa temps que no va lluitar, dos anys va descansar i Sullivan Barrera va ser la primera lluita quan va tornar. I amb Alexander Brand va ser millor que contra Sullivan Barrera. Accepto que es veurà molt millor Novembre 19. En millor forma."

 

SK: “Joan (David Jackson) només em dóna llibertat per fer el que vull, el que m'agradaria fer. Ja saps, igual que ajustar algunes coses i consells entre rondes sobre la tècnica. Treballant molt amb guants. M'agrada treballar amb ell i em sento còmode".

 

SK: "No crec que Andre Ward (voluntat) Deixa'm fer servir molts cops al cos perquè té unes cames genials i molts moviments. Saps que és molt intel·ligent. I crec que la primera part d'aquesta lluita serà molt mental, però hauria de demostrar que sóc Krusher i que faré la meva feina. Ell farà la seva feina, jo per fer la meva feina".

 

SK: “Crec que la meva última lluita contra Chilemba, va ser com una lluita semblant, ja saps, perquè Chilemba és una mica d'estil com Andre Ward. Però Andre Ward és Andre Ward, una mica diferent i més fort, més intel·ligent, invicte i més motivat que Chilemba. M'interessa què portarà Novembre 19 al ring".

 

SK: "Vam acordar dues baralles abans de la nostra lluita. L'any passat estava preparat per lluitar, però l'Andre no estava preparat per lluitar sense dues baralles al pes semipesat. Signem un acord per a dues baralles més i després lluitem el 2016".

 

SK: "M'entreno al matí. Després d'això, una mica de massatge teràpia, alguns tractaments, després d'això una mica de descans, migdiada una mica, cuinar el menjar, descansa i torna a fer exercici. Avui dos entrenaments, aquest era només el primer. El meu pla s'ha trencat una mica avui perquè normalment el meu primer entrenament és al matí, però ara mateix ja quasi 3pm. La meva entrevista és un entrenament [rialles].

Curtis "L'assassí cerebral" Stevens

Campió de pes mitjà d'Amèrica Continental de l'AMB

Interrogació: Vols David Lemieux i les revanxes??

Stevens: "Tots sabem que vull David Lemieux. La pregunta és, està disposat a lluitar contra mi?? Qui més? Tureano Johnson, estava guanyant la lluita, però la lluita no va acabar fins que va sonar el timbre final, i va quedar noquejat. Hi ha qui diu que va ser una aturada prematura, però jo, diu el ref, ja saps... vull ser campió del món. Aquest era un dels meus objectius, convertir-se en un campió del món i convertir-se en un campió del món unificat".

Q: Com et sents de formar part d'aquesta gran carta??

CS: "Se sent molt bé. Segona gran carta de l'any. El primer va ser Canelo–Khan i ara Kovalev–Ward. He obert el primer i ara obriré el segon. És una sensació fantàstica, gran. Estic molt honrat. És un plaer."

 

Q: Què en penseu de De La Rosa??

CS: “Una baralla és una lluita. Pots anomenar-ho una lluita per mantenir-te ocupat, pots anomenar-ho real, bé, és una veritable lluita en general, però pots anomenar-lo com vulguis. Una baralla és una lluita al final del dia".

 

CS: "Sóc un tipus de raça diferent. Vinc de Brownsville. Només sóc un tipus diferent. El que la gent no s'adona és que algunes persones no es van criar com em vaig criar jo. Ja saps? Sóc d'una època en què t'inscrius als campionats dels Estats Units, els Guants d'Or Nacionals, no pots triar amb qui volies lluitar. Això no és una lluita d'espectacles; això és un torneig. El primer dia tens el teu Andre Ward, tens Gennadi Golovkin, tens el teu David Lemieux. Em refereixo al primer dia! Sense finals, no res. Vaig lluitar contra Ward tres vegades, em va donar la meva primera pèrdua. Aleshores, la segona vegada que vaig lluitar contra ell, va ser una semifinal del Campionat dels Estats Units, després la tercera va ser de nou les semifinals del Campionat dels Estats Units. No saps on et trobaràs amb aquests nois".

 

CS: "Sempre seré els verificadors de la barbeta, això és el que faig, Faci entrada i sortida, Sempre seré això. Em vaig desfer de Showtime. Showtime és cosa del passat, va ser quan estava amb el meu antic equip. Ara estic amb JDJ, Sóc l'Assassí Cerebral, He de dirigir aquest vaixell tan ajustat amb prudència, en comptes de imprudència. sàviament, aconseguir-ho?"

 

CS: “Joan (David Jackson) em fa més relaxat, ja saps? Deixa anar les meves mans una mica més. Em diu que sóc poderós a les dues mans, així que no busqueu només entrar-hi i noquejar-los".

Oleksandr "El clau" Gvozdyk

Campió de pes lleuger NABF

Gvozdyk: Quan vaig començar a boxar va ser per fer-me més fort. Després em va agradar i es va convertir en un hobby. Ara la boxa ho és tot. És la meva vida. És la meva feina. És la meva afició.

Interrogació: Molta gent encara no et coneix. Què t'agradaria que sabien de tu mateix?

I: M'agradaria ser popular al ring. Faig el possible i se suposa que ho haurien de mirar. Espero que m'agradi.

I: El meu sobrenom és "The Nail" i això és només una traducció del meu cognom. Tinc aquest sobrenom des dels deu anys, així que estic acostumat a això. Quan vaig arribar aquí tothom em va començar a dir així.

Q: Parla'ns del teu oponent.

I: Chilemba és un lluitador molt fort. Molt intel·ligent. Ell és hàbil. Té una bona defensa. No serà fàcil. Estic content amb la meva preparació fins ara i espero una bona lluita.

Q: Parla de la transició que has fet d'aficionat a professional.

I: Ja sigui boxa amateur o professional, encara és boxa. Només has d'acostumar-te a un moment diferent. Heu d'aprendre a distribuir el vostre poder durant deu o més rondes. Has d'aconseguir més poder als professionals, però bàsicament és el mateix.

Q: Parla de la teva preparació per a la lluita i de la dedicació que cal al gimnàs cada dia per preparar-te per arribar algun dia al nivell de Sergey Kovalev i Andre Ward..

I: Crec que si vols ser campió has d'entrenar molt. Se suposa que has de fer el possible i entrenar el màxim possible. Si vols ser el millor, has de lluitar amb els millors i has d'entrenar amb els millors. Això és el que intento fer. Ara, en Sergey i en Ward, tots dos han demostrat que són els millors lluitadors i ara poden esbrinar qui és Pound For Pound #1. Els miro i intento fer els mateixos passos per ser com ells.

Q: Qui creus que guanya Kovalev-Ward?

I: Crec que guanya Kovalev. Sé que és com 50-50 lluitar i és una lluita molt interessant per a mi. És una lluita entre la intel·ligència i el poder.

Kovalev vs. Sala "Lliura per lliura", Un mega-lluita de 12 rodons per al títol de pes pesat de WBO/IBF/WBA a T-Mobile Arena de Las Vegas, es presenta per esdeveniments principals, Roc Nation Esports, Promocions de Krusher i Andre Ward Promocions i està patrocinat pel MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, Corona extra, Zappos, JetLux i productes Monster.

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA

Filadèlfia, Pennsilvània / Taronja, TAL COM. (Juliol 26, 2016)–Banner Promotions i Thompson Boxing Promocions are pleased to announce the signing of amateur standout Ruben Villato a co-promotional contract.
La 19 year-old Villa of Salinas, California compiled an outstanding record of 166-17 in the unpaid ranks that included two National Junior Golden Gloves titles and two National Golden Gloves championships at 123 lliura.
Ruben did not make the U.S. Olympic team due to his struggles to make 123 pounds in the Olympic Trials. He will campaign as a professional in the featherweight division (126 lliura).
“Estic emocionat, and I have been working very hard to get to this point. I cannot wait to turn professional,” va dir Villa.
“It is very cool to sign with two great promoters. We were offered the opportunity, and we took it.”
“As for the Olympic trials I was disappointed, yet happy at the same time. I was happy to make it that far, and now I am ready for the next phase of my career.”
Villa began boxing at the age of five when his family, who were big boxing fans, took young Ruben to the gym.
That spawned his amateur career, which saw him reach the number-1 national ranking at 123 pounds and saw him defeat eventual United States Olympian Shakur Stevenson.
“He is a good fighter, and I hope he wins a medal and at some point we can break the tie in our fights against each other. I see that as a big fight down the line in the pros.”
Villa defeated Stevenson in the National Golden Gloves and Olympic Trials.
The 5’6″ Villa is managed and trained by Danny Zamora. Zamora performs the same roles with world-ranked NABA, TAMBÉ, NABF and Boxicino 2014 lightweight champion Petr Petrov.
Villa describes his style as a boxer who uses angles and does not get hit much.
“My boxing influences are a bit of Vasyl Lomachenko and Canelo Alavrez.”
Ruben’s family and friends are not only a big part of his life, but also part of his success.
“My parents started me in boxing, and they have been extremely supportive in this. I also have 4 sisters (Ruben is the 2nd oldest of the 5 nens), and they are very supportive as well. “
Villa has sparred with Petrov, Bruno Escalante and Manuel Avilla, and that has given him a good gage on where he is at as he embarks on his career.
“I do well with those guys. I can hold my own, and those guys are great professionals. It gives me confidence as I start out.”
“Whenever you have the chance to sign someone as talented and as gifted as Ruben Villa, you jump at that opportunity,” va dir Ken Thompson, President of Thompson Boxing Promotions. “Villa comes to us from an accomplished amateur background. He has all the traits you look for in a prospect – tremendous skill set, positive attitude, and a love for the sport. He has an outstanding future ahead of him.”

Arthur Pelullo, President of Banner Promotions stated, “We are very excited by the signing of Ruben. He has all the makings of a future star. I can see big things in his future, as he has great ability, a pro-style and the intangibles to be a great fighter for a long time. We are very familiar with Ruben’s team, and we have a great relationship with his manager, Danny Zamora. We are eager to start Ruben on his journey to become a world champion.”

“Ruben is a great prospect, a top amateur and an Olympic alternate,” said Villa’s Manager Danny Zamora. “I believe he will be a world champion. I met Ruben through his trainer Rudy Puga, and I have been following him for three years. I feel that he has all the makings to be a star.”

Villa will turn professional aquest divendres Nit a l’hotel DoubleTree d’Ontario, California on a Thompson Boxing card that will be headlined by José Román tenint en Carlos Cardenas
