SLOAN, IOWA (Chwefror. 3, 2018) – Undefeated super middleweight prospects Ronald Ellis and Junior Younan fought to a split draw in the main event of ShoBox: Y Genhedlaeth Newydd Dydd Gwener on SHOWTIME from WinnaVegas Casino Resort in Sloan, Iowa.

While Ellis was the ShoBox veteran with the stronger resume, Younan entered the fight as a highly touted prospect who had never been tested. He faced his first test ar ddydd Gwener in what was the first scheduled 10-round bout for both fighters.

The fight was fought in flurries, with Younan scoring from the outside and Ellis the aggressor. Except for the eighth round where Brooklyn’s Younan displayed his best work, Ellis seemed to push the action and win the second half of the fight. Ellis had a slight edge in power punch percentage and total punches, but Younan was slightly more accurate. The fighters were even with 96 total connects entering the 10th round, but Ellis (14-0-2, 10 Kos) enillodd y 10fed on all three judges’ scorecards by out-landing Younan 21-9.

The 10-round fight was scored 96-94 Ellis, 96-94 Younan, ac 95-95.

“I thought I pulled it out. I closed the show at the end,” said Ellis, o Lynn, Offeren. “I was pressuring him and the fans know I won. In the eighth, he landed a couple of shots but he wasted his energy. As you saw, he didn’t do anything the rest of that round, and after that round he had nothing left.

“He was running from the start, so I knew I could land shots on him anytime. My only regret is I wish that I got him out of there. It’s all knockouts from here on out. Byddwn yn bendant yn ymladd yn ei erbyn eto, but I’ll do whatever my promoter lines up for me.”

Ar ôl y frwydr, an emotional Younan (13-0-1, 9 Kos) pleaded his case for a rematch.

“I thought I won the fight, I thought [Ellis] won maybe three rounds,” Younan said. “My best round was the eighth round – I had him in the corner and I really thought they were going to end the fight then. I was surprised they didn’t stop the fight.

“I can improve a little bit, I feel I can finish stronger. I’ve only had one eight-round fight before this so this was a big step up for me. I’m growing and learning every fight.

“I’m heartbroken right now. I wanted to win that fight. I want him in a rematch. I know I would win. I know what to do and what not to do.”

Undefeated lightweight Thomas Mattice rallied from behind to score a seventh round TKO of ShoBox veteran Rolando Chinea in the telecast’s co-feature.

Chinea pushed the action as expected from the opening bell, taflu 90 punches in the first round to set a blistering pace for the scheduled eight-round fight. Chinea, who entered having beaten three previously undefeated fighters in his last four bouts, cut the ring off and pressed forward, keeping Mattice largely against the ropes. Mattice did his best work in the center of the ring, but the undefeated Cleveland native was unable to keep the fight from being contested against the ropes.

Down 59-55 entering the seventh, Mattice (11-0, 9 Kos) caught Chinea with a huge right to the chin and, sensing Chinea was hurt, unloaded with a series of combos to the head. With Chinea seemingly out on his feet and falling sideways to the canvas, referee Adam Pollack stepped in to stop the fight at 1:31 of the seventh.

“It was a rough fight,” Mattice said. “I felt like I was behind and my corner told me I needed a knockout. He buzzed me a few times. I caught him in the seventh and he wobbled. At first I was trying for one shot, then I remembered to start using the one-two. Then I landed a body shot, then a hook, and we got what we came here for, which was a knockout.”

Chinea (15-2-1, 6 Kos) was active, throwing an impressive 678 punches over seven-and-a-half rounds, compared to 414 for Mattice. But while he was aggressive and effective on the inside, his neglect of defense is what ultimately hurt him.

“I think I did well pressuring him and sticking to my game plane,” Chinea said. “I just got carried away and got caught with the right shot and, yn anffodus, it ended the way it ended.

“I’m a little disappointed it ended the way it did, but that’s boxing and a lot of things can happen in the sport and that’s just the way it went.”

In the opening bout of the three-fight telecast, super lightweight prospect Montana Love kept his unblemished record intact with a majority decision over Sam Teah, Sgoriodd 78-74, 78-74, 76-76.

The southpaw Love (9-0, 4 Kos) pressed the action from the start, utilizing superior speed and polished footwork to dictate the pace. Cleveland’s Love, who took the fight on just four days’ notice, was seemingly talking trash during rounds, telling Teah what was coming next. But even with the advance warning, Teah was unable to get inside or land anything of consequence. Yeah (12-2-1, 5 Kos) seemed to come alive in the sixth but it was too little, too late for the Philadelphia fighter.

“I just kept boxing and pushing him back,” Love said. “I hurt three of my knuckles in my left hand in about the third round. I’m not sure if they’re fractured or not, but if I hadn’t hurt them I would have ended that fight early.

“I felt strong. I just came from a great camp with Robert Easter, which I think helped in this fight tonight. Sparring with Robert and Adrien [Broner], I’ve learned a lot from those guys.

“I give my overall performance a B or a C+. I think I could have done a lot more.”

Teah made no excuses about facing a last-minute opponent.

“He was a crafty southpaw. I knew he was slick, but he was quicker than I expected,” Teah said. “I would ball up to try to come inside and he was sharp with his right hook. Fighting guys on short-notice is the way I expect it. That’s the sport. I was preparing for a southpaw and I got a southpaw. No excuses.”

RONALD ELLIS vs. JUNIOR YOUNAN – 10-Round Super Middleweight

 

Ellis returns to ShoBox in his first bout since defeating Christopher Brooker via a unanimous decision in Atlantic City last January. In his ShoBox debut, Ellis fought Jerry Odom to a majority draw in Atlantic City in February 2016.
 

Originally from Lynn, Offeren., the 28-year-old Ellis currently lives and trains in Los Angeles at the Iron Gym under trainer Jerry Rosenberg and his father Ronald Ellis Sr.
 

“It’s going to be fireworks from the jump,” said Ellis, who was scheduled to fight Taneal Goyco in November, but the fight was scrapped when Goyco weighed three pounds over the super middleweight limit. “Younan is a good little fighter, but we are trying to get him out of there. Dyma fy mhrif ddigwyddiad cyntaf, and I want to impress. It will be a good way to start 2018, which will be my year.”
 

Ellis upset highly regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Menig Golden cenedlaethol. Gausha would go on to represent the U.S. yn y 2012 Gemau Olympaidd.
 

Younan, who is promoted by Roc Nation Sports, was a highly touted amateur boxer who compiled a 90-5 record before turning professional in 2013 yn oed o 18. Once dubbed by The New York Times as “a boxing prodigy” as a 10-year-old, Younan was a two-time National Junior Golden Gloves champion, y 2011 National Junior Olympic championship, and at one point was the No. 1-rated junior boxer in his weight class by USA Boxing.
 

Because of injuries, Younan fought just one time in 2015. After a nine-month layoff, he returned in March of 2016 to beat Cristian Solorzano and has remained active since. Eight of Younan’s 13 pro wins have ended in the first round, including three of his last five fights. The 22-year-old is trained by his father, Sherif Younan
 

“It’s a pleasure to fight on SHOWTIME and I’m excited to put on a show for all the viewers,” Younan said. “I’ve been working as hard as possible and I’m confident my efforts will pay off. I’m going to break my opponent’s spirit and pick him apart. This is my time – in 2018, I’m looking to make a title run and this fight is just the first step.”
 

WELLINGTON ROMERO vs. SAM TEAH – Eight-Round Super Lightweight

 

Romero is originally from the Dominican Republic now fighting out of Newburgh, Efrog Newydd. A southpaw, he fights under the Roc Nation Sports promotion and represented the Dominican Republic in the 2012 London Olympics, where he lost to eventual Gold Medalist Vasyl Lomachenko.

 

An accomplished amateur with 268 ymladd, Romero earned a bronze medal at the 2010 Central American Games and made back-to-back appearances at the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships and the 2011 Pan American Games as a teenager.
 

The 26-year-old Romero fought twice in 2017, recording TKOs in both wins over Kevin Womack Jr. and Mike Fowler.
 

“This fight on SHOWTIME is a great opportunity for me to showcase my talent and I want to thank God, my team and everyone involved for this opportunity,” Romero said. “I’m going to deliver a world class performance for all the boxing fans out there to enjoy. After defeating my opponent, I know I will make a lasting impression on the viewers and start paving my way to a world title belt.”
 

This won’t be the first time Philadelphia’s Teah is facing an undefeated fighter on ShoBox. In Las Vegas in 2015, Teah scored a unanimous decision over previously undefeated O’Shaquie Foster. The 30-year-old’s only loss came against then-undefeated Lavisas Williams in 2014.
 

Fe'i ganed yn Liberia, Teah did not start boxing until the age of 19. His last four fights have been close to home with three in his hometown of Philadelphia and the other two in Bristol, Pa., and Atlantic City, N.J.
 

“I know my opponent was an Olympian, and he has been in front of a lot of great fighters,” Teah said. “I am excited to face him and take the big challenge. I know I will be his toughest opponent. I am ready to see what he is made of.”
 

THOMAS MATTICE vs. ROLANDO CHINEA – Eight-Round Lightweight
 

A 27-year-old from Cleveland, Mattice turned pro in 2014 and had an amateur record of 72-18. He was a three-time Ohio State Golden Gloves champion, and bronze medal winner in the USA National Tournament in 2014.
 

In his last fight on Nov. 11, Mattice beat Orlando Rizo via seventh-round stoppage in Georgia. Mattice, who has recorded four straight KOs and eight overall in 10 ymladd proffesiynol, is a boxer-puncher who likes to attack the body.
 

“It’s a tough fight for sure,” Mattice said. “I checked him out. It’s going to be a rough fight, but I am prepared for a war. I am prepared for whatever he will bring. I am excited to fight on ShoBox. Byth ers i mi ddechrau bocsio, I said one day that will be me fighting on TV, and now that dream comes true.”
 

The 26-year-old Chinea returns to ShoBox after handing previously unbeaten Kenneth Sims Jr., the first loss of his professional career via majority decision on July 14. The win moved Chinea’s ShoBox record to 2-0. He had previously won an eight-round split decision victory over O’Shaquie Foster in 2016.
 

A Puerto Rican native now living in Lancaster, Pa., Chinea suffered his only defeat against the hands of Ismail Muwendo in 2015. He has won five straight since, including two unanimous decisions over previously undefeated Ladarius Miller and Mel Crossty, as well as the unbeaten Sims. His last four opponents had a combined record of 38-1-1.
 

“I know Thomas Mattice is another undefeated fighter with a terrific amateur career,” Chinea said. “I am being brought in as his opponent, to make him look good in his national TV debut. I respect Thomas for agreeing to fight me. I am sure that he will bring his best, and it will be another entertaining fight, Chinea style. I am going to be in the best shape of my career. I am going to be stronger, and I am going to hunt him down, rough him up, and beat him. I can’t wait to fight and win again on ShoBox.”
 

DEVIN HANEY vs. HARMONITO DELA TORRE – Eight-Round Lightweights

 

Haney just turned 19 years old last November and already sports a professional record of 18-0 gyda 12 knockouts. Trained and managed by his father, William Haney, he has been active with nine fights in 2016 and seven in 2017. In his last fight on Nov. 4, he scored a fifth-round TKO against Hamza Sempewo in Atlanta.
 

Raised in Oakland, Calif., Haney was a seven-time national amateur champion and compiled an impressive record of 130-8. Haney is currently living and training in Las Vegas, where he sparred with Floyd Mayweather as the pound-for-pound champ prepared to face Conor McGregor, and Shawn Porter. Haney turned professional when he was 16 years old in Mexico.
 

“Fighting on SHOWTIME, specifically ShoBox, where many champions have been made, is something I’ve envisioned since I turned professional in 2015,” Haney said. “I’m in tough against Harmonito Dela Torre, a hungry fighter who is coming off his first pro loss. I know his back is up against the wall, so I’m expecting him to bring everything he’s got. But this is my time to shine on the big stage and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by. I’m the future of boxing and everyone will see my talent on February 2, especially Dela Torre.”
 

Dela Torre is a 23-year-old Philippines native who has been training with Osmiri Fernandez in Miami the past few months at the Sanman Boxing Gym.
 

Dela was scheduled to fight last on Aug. 22 in Las Vegas in a super featherweight bout against undefeated Saul Rodriguez, who inexplicably pulled out of the matchup a few days before the fight.
 

Yn lle hynny, Dela Torre entered the ring in Las Vegas on Nov. 18 and suffered his first loss against 2012 Olympic silver medalist Tugstsogt Nyambayar in an eight-round unanimous decision, despite scoring a second-round knockdown. It was the first time in his first nine fights that Nyambayar was taken the distance.

Miguel Cotto (40-5, 33 Kos) is a former WBC and Ring Magazine middleweight world champion and the first native of Puerto Rico to become world champion in four different weight classes. He previously held the WBO junior welterweight world title, the WBA welterweight world title, the WBO welterweight world title and the WBA super welterweight world title. He also represented Puerto Rico in the 2000 Gemau Olympaidd yn Sydney, Awstralia. Cotto has competed in 24 world championship fights, compiling a record of 19-5 gyda 16 taro allan yn y pyliau hynny. In Puerto Rico, he is hailed as a national hero and the successor of Felix “Tito” Trinidad as the island’s most revered boxer. Cotto is one of the biggest gate attractions in boxing and one of the largest pay-per-view draws among active fighters. Ym mis Mehefin 2014, Cotto made history in his first fight as a middleweight by dominating Argentine southpaw and defending WBC and Ring Magazine Middleweight World Champion Sergio “Wonder” Martinez. He is trained by legendary Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach and has fought some of the biggest names in the sport including Floyd “Arian” Mayweather and Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao. Cotto owns his own boxing promotional company in Puerto Rico, Miguel Cotto Hyrwyddiadau, and presides over his charity La Fundación El Ángel de Miguel Cotto, a non-profit organization dedicated to combatting childhood obesity. Ym mis Mawrth 2015, Cotto and Roc Nation Sports announced that they had entered into a partnership that includes a co-promotional agreement with Miguel Cotto Promotions to promote Cotto’s fights. Ar Fehefin 6, 2015, Cotto defended his WBC, Ring Magazine and lineal middleweight world championships against former two-time World Champion Daniel Geale at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Efrog Newydd. Cotto scored a thunderous knockdown early in the fourth round before finishing matters with a second knockdown midway through the round, which left Geale unable to continue. Ar Dachwedd 21, 2015, Cotto cemented his status as one of the biggest pay-per-view draws among active fighters in his much anticipated mega-fight against Mexico’s Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, despite going the distance for a twelve-round unanimous decision loss. The hard-fought bout has been dubbed as the biggest fight in the history of the famed Puerto Rico vs. Mexico boxing rivalry. The Five-Time World Champion is eager to return to the ring against James Kirkland on Chwefror 25.

 

A Texas titan, representing the city of Austin, 32-year-old southpaw James “Mandingo Warrior” Kirkland (32-2, 28 Kos) has built his reputation with explosive power. His fists have accounted for 28 knockout victories over the course of his nearly 14-year professional career. A former NABO and WBC Continental Americas Champion, Kirkland bounced back from his lone defeat against Nobuhiro Ishida in 2011 with five consecutive wins, four coming by way of knockout. Kirkland has defeated Brian Vera, Alfredo “Perro” Angulo and Carlos “King” Molina and handed Glen “Jersey Boy” Tapia his first professional loss by way of a punishing sixth round technical knockout, prior to taking the stage for a 12-round super welterweight war with Saul “Canelo” Alvarez on May 9, 2015 at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas.

Washington, DC (Mai 14, 2016) - 122 cystadleuydd punt Luis “Orlandito” Del Valle (22-2, 16 KO yn) o Bayamon, Sgoriodd Puerto Rico doriad clir, penderfyniad unfrydol wyth rownd dros y paw de lleol Thomas “KO” Snow (18-3, 12 KO yn) ar ddydd Gwener, Mai 13 yn y DC Armory yn Washington, D.C.
Ymladd ar Chwaraeon Cenedl Roc’ Bocsio Orsedd ar BET, Ceisiodd Del Valle osod y naws trwy bwyso ar Snow DC yn y rownd agoriadol. Yn yr ail, glaniodd cyn-bencampwr pwysau plu NABA nifer o ddwylo syth dde, gan gynnwys un a anfonodd Eira i lawr yn galed. Synhwyro y gall cnocio fod ar fin digwydd, Roedd Del Valle yn heidio Snow ond fe lwyddodd i gyrraedd y brig.
Yn y trydydd gwelwyd Del Valle yn tirio llun bachyn chwith perffaith a ollyngodd Snow eto, pwy oedd i bob pwrpas yn clymu ar ôl blasu'r cynfas. Parhaodd Del Valle i bwyso ar y weithred yn y pedwerydd a'r pumed pennill, tra dechreuodd Snow symud ei ddwylo ond dal i ddal yn aml. Canfu Snow eiliadau o lwyddiant yn y chweched a chael ei rownd orau yn y seithfed, pan gysylltodd ag ergyd galed a gafodd sylw oddi wrth Del Valle. Dal i saethu am knockout, Gwthiodd Del Valle y weithred yn wythfed fodd bynnag, Clymodd eira ef ar sawl achlysur a gorffen ar ei draed.
Tra bod y rhan fwyaf o gefnogwyr a selogion wedi cael Del Valle ennill o leiaf chwe rownd, roedd y sgorau yn syndod 76-74 ar y tri cardiau sgorio.
"Roedd Thomas Snow yn ymladdwr gêm iawn ac rwy'n troi fy het ato am fod yn gystadleuydd caled,” meddai Del Valle yn fuan ar ôl y fuddugoliaeth. “Byddwn i wedi hoffi ei orffen, ond yr oedd yn fy nghlymu yn barhaus. Roeddwn i'n meddwl y byddai'r dyfarnwr wedi ei rybuddio neu gymryd pwynt, ond ni ddigwyddodd hynny. Roedd y frwydr hon yn brofiad dysgu da ac fel JAY Z mae’n dweud ‘mae ymlaen i’r un nesaf.’”
Gydag Eira allan o'i ffordd, Mae golygfeydd Del Valle yn seiliedig ar gyfleoedd mwy.
"Rwyf am gael fy nwylo ar un o'r pencampwyr neu'r cystadleuwyr gorau yn 122 bunnoedd. Byth ers i mi ddechrau bocsio, fy nod oedd dod yn bencampwr byd. Rwy’n gobeithio cael y cyfle i ymladd am un o’r gwregysau yn fuan oherwydd does dim byd rydw i eisiau mwy na dod â gwregys teitl byd yn ôl i Puerto Rico.”

Dyrchafiadau'r Brenin Thomas “KO” Eira yn barod am fuddugoliaeth datganiad dros Del Valle nos Wener yn Washington, DC

Gadael sylw
Washington, DC (Mai 12, 2016)– Mae hyn Dydd Gwener nos yn Washington, DC, Thomas Snow yn cyfarfod Luis Orlando Del Valle (21-2, 16 KO yn) yn y pwl cyd-nodwedd o sioe deledu genedlaethol yn fyw ar BET.

Hyrwyddir y sioe gan Roc Nation Sports.

Eira Washington, Mae gan DC record o 18-2 gyda 12 knockouts ac mae hwn yn gyfle mawr ymladd ar lwyfan mawr.
“Aeth gwersyll hyfforddi gwych. Roedd yn wersyll perffaith a nawr mae'n amser gwneud rhywbeth, ac yr wyf yn mynd allan yno i gael y fuddugoliaeth.”
Wedi gofyn beth oedd yn ei wybod am Del Valle, Roedd eira yn gwybod llawer heblaw rhywfaint o wybodaeth sylfaenol.
“Mae Del Valle yn ymladdwr confensiynol o Puerto Rico. Mae ganddo record debyg, ond nid yw wedi ymladd llawer o ddynion da. Gwelais ei frwydr gyda (cyn-bencampwr byd) Vic Darchinyan. (Gornest y collodd Del Valle drwy benderfyniad unfrydol ynddi 2012).
Mae hon yn frwydr y mae'r rhan fwyaf o arbenigwyr bocsio yn ei hystyried yn frwydr groesffordd, gyda'r enillydd yn neidio i'r gynnen, ond nid yw Eira yn teimlo pwysau yr ymladd.

“Rwy'n meddwl bod ganddo fwy i'w golli na fi. Rwy'n symud i fyny dau ddosbarth pwysau. Byddai'n well gen i fod yn ymladd yn 115 bunnoedd, ond mae'r cyfleoedd wedi bod yn dod ar bwysau uwch. Gyda hynny cael ei ddweud, Dydw i ddim yn meddwl ei fod ar fy lefel i. Felly rwy'n hyderus yn y frwydr hon a bydd y fuddugoliaeth yn ddatblygiad aruthrol.”
Er gwaethaf ymladd yn ei dref enedigol, Nid yw eira yn meddwl bod hynny'n chwarae unrhyw ran o ran pwy fydd yn ennill y frwydr.
“Nid oes unrhyw fantais i hynny. Yn bocsio, mae'n cymryd un ddyrnod a dydw i ddim yn helpu hynny.”
“Rwy'n gwybod beth wnes i yn y gwersyll hyfforddi ac rwy'n barod. Nid wyf yn ofni neb. Bendith Duw fi â sgiliau ac rydw i'n mynd i wneud y gwaith. Fi jyst yn gwybod trwy gadw Duw yn eich bywyd, bydd popeth yn mynd yn wych i chi.”
Meddai hyrwyddwr Snow, Marshall Kauffman o King's Promotions, “Dyma gyfle gwych i Thomas. Mae wedi dangos drwy gydol ei yrfa fod ganddo dalent. Ei unig golledion fu i ddynion di-drechu, ond y mae wedi cael gwersyll aruthrol, ac ar ddydd Gwener nos bydd yn dangos y dylai fod yn un o'r cystadleuwyr gorau yn yr adran pwysau bantam super”

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Mai 11, 2016) - Ddydd Mawrth, Mai 10, Washington, D.C. yn ddiguro Dusty Hernandez-Harrison (29-0, 16 Kos) a Bakersfield, Califfornia Mike “The Silent Assassin” Dallas Jr. (21-3-1, 10 Kos) cymryd rhan mewn ymarfer cyfryngau yn Urban Boxing DC yn Washington, D.C. cyn eu mis Mai 13 ymladd yn y DC Armory. Hernandez-Harrison yn erbyn. Dallas Jr.. bydd pennawd a bocsio orsedd digwyddiad mewn pwl pwysau welter 10-rownd a fydd yn cael ei ddarlledu'n fyw ar BET yn dechrau am 10:00 p.m. A/PT a ffrydio'n fyw ar lwyfan cerddoriaeth ac adloniant byd-eang, TIDAL.com. Ymladdwr cyd-ymddangos Thomas “KO” Eira (18-2, 12 Kos) Washington, D.C., sy'n wynebu Dorado, Puerto Rico ynOrlando “Orlandito” Del Valle (20-2, 15 Kos), ac ymladdwyr undercard Mike Balogun (5-0, 4 Kos) o Marlboro Uchaf, Maryland, pwy fydd yn ymladd Capitol Heights, Maryland yn Devon Mosley (0-4-1), a Greenbelt, Maryland yn Croesi Sam “Fanilla Gorilla”. (2-0, 1 KO) o pwy sy'n cymryd ymlaen Damion Reed (2-13, 1 KO) o Danville roedd Virginia hefyd yn bresennol yn ystod yr ymarfer cyfryngau ar ddydd Mawrth.

 

Ar ôl bocsio cysgod o gwmpas y cylch ac ychydig rowndiau gweithio'r bagiau, cymerodd pob un o'r pum ymladdwr ran mewn cyfweliadau ag aelodau o'r cyfryngau a wahoddwyd.

 

Isod mae'r hyn oedd gan y diffoddwyr i'w ddweud yn ystod yr ymarfer:

 

DUSTY HERNANDEZ-HARRISON:

“Rwy’n credu bod llawer o bobl yn tanamcangyfrif Mike Dallas Jr. Rwy'n meddwl eu bod yn ei gyfri allan yn rhy gynnar. Yn aml pan fydd pobl yn dychwelyd o golled galed, maen nhw'n hyfforddi'n galetach, maent yn ei gymryd yn fwy difrifol ac yn dileu'r holl gamgymeriadau a wnaethant mewn gwersylloedd hyfforddi blaenorol, felly dyna beth rydw i'n disgwyl iddo ei wneud. Yn ffodus Barry Hunter [Hyfforddwr Hernandez-Harrison] yn ei adnabod yn dda fel ymladdwr, felly rydw i wedi bod yn mynd i ffwrdd o'r hyn mae'n ei ddweud.

“Rydw i wedi bod yn dod yn wych yn sparring i mewn. Deuthum adref o sparring Canelo Alvarez ac es i'r dde i sparring gyda Lamont Peterson, Austin Brithyll, Demetrius Hopkins a diffoddwyr eraill ar y cerdyn. Dim ond sparring da iawn.

 

“Rwy’n gyffrous i ymladd ar BET. Mae'n eithaf cŵl. Dwi’n meddwl ei bod hi’n dda dod â bocsio i gynulleidfa newydd. Gobeithio, Cynhaliais frwydr dda i'w difyrru. Ac mae gennym Justine Skye yn perfformio cyn ein gornest. Mae ganddi sylfaen cefnogwyr hollol wahanol i mi ac rwy'n meddwl ei fod yn ffordd dda arall o ychwanegu cynulleidfa newydd at ein digwyddiad.

 

“Fe wnes i dynnu llawer o bethau allan o hyfforddi gyda Canelo yn ei wersyll hyfforddi. Roedd yn dda cael persbectif gwahanol o wersyll hyfforddi. Fel arfer mae'r cyfan yn ymwneud â mi, mae popeth yn cael ei ddarparu i mi ac mae pawb yn poeni amdanaf, felly roedd yn dda cymryd cam yn ôl a gweld sut mae rhywun tebyg iddo ar y lefel uchaf yn paratoi ar gyfer ymladd teitl byd. Yn ffodus, Cerddais i ffwrdd gan wybod fy mod wedi bod yn gwneud popeth yn iawn.

 

“Brwydro yn fy nhref enedigol, Washington, D.C. yn well i mi. Rwy'n teimlo bod gen i fwy i ymladd drosto. Mae gen i fwy i'w golli, sy'n helpu i mi. Fyddwch chi byth yn fy nghlywed yn dweud “no mas” yn D.C.

 

“Yn fy oed i, mae fy mharatoad yn newid gyda phob ymladd. Rwy'n cofio ymladd yn Connecticut ym mis Ebrill ac yna Miami ym mis Awst, sy'n ymddangos yn agos iawn, ond Billy Briscoe [Hyfforddwr cynorthwyol Hernandez-Harrison] oedd yno a dweud ‘rydych chi wedi dod yn llawer cryfach.’ Dyna’r oedran ydw i ar hyn o bryd. Rydw i wir yn aeddfedu ac yn cael cryfder y dyn hwnnw. Bob ymladd rwy'n teimlo'n llawer cryfach."

 

 

MIKE “THE SILENT ASSASSIN” DALLAS JR.:

“Rwy’n teimlo’n dda iawn cyn y frwydr hon… yn hyderus ac yn gryf. Dwi jyst yn barod i fynd allan yna a pherfformio. Mae mwy o bwysau arno na fi yn ymladd yn ei dref enedigol.

 

“Rydw i wedi cael hyfforddiant da ar gyfer y frwydr hon. Mae gan Ardal y Bae lawer o ddaioni ar gael ar hyn o bryd. Cefais hyfforddiant da gyda Ben Bautista [Hyfforddwr Dallas Jr] ac rydyn ni wedi bod yn ei wthio. Roedd yn rhaid i mi gloddio'n ddwfn wrth hyfforddi i fynd drwyddo ac rwy'n barod i gloddio'n ddwfn yn y frwydr.

 

“Cymerais beth amser i ffwrdd i adael i'm corff orffwys a gwella ac i adael i'm meddwl ddod ynghyd. Nawr rwy'n teimlo'n wych. Rwy'n barod i ddod yn ôl a dod yn ôl ar ben pethau. Rydw i'n mynd i fynd allan yna a gwneud fy mheth.

 

“Rwy’n gwybod bod Dusty yn ymladdwr eithaf da. Rwy'n gwybod y gall focsio. Dwi jyst yn barod i fynd allan yna, byddwch yn graff a gweithredwch y cynllun gêm. Rwy'n barod i bobl wybod fy mod yn ôl ac yno yn feddyliol. Rwy’n barod i fynd yn ôl yn y gêm a gofalu am y bobl hyn yn yr ymladd mwy hwn.”

 

 

EIRa THOMAS “KO”.:

“Rwy’n adnabod fy ngwrthwynebydd [Orlando Del Valle] yn ymladdwr confensiynol o Puerto Rico. Mae'n ymladdwr sylfaenol ... dyrnwr un-dau sylfaenol. Ef yw'r gwrthwynebydd gorau i mi ei wynebu hyd yn hyn. Mae gan y ddau ohonom ddwy golled, felly dwi'n gwybod ei bod hi'n frwydr groesffordd i ni. Rydyn ni'n mynd i fynd i mewn yno a gwneud yr hyn y daethom i'w wneud.

“Rwyf wedi ymladd yn D.C. llawer o weithiau. Dyna fy nghartref.

 

“Mae'n wych oherwydd rydw i wedi adnabod Dusty ers yn chwe blwydd oed. Roedden ni'n arfer rhedeg gyda'n gilydd. Roeddem yn siarad am hynny drosodd yn y gornel. Os gwyliwch chi ar unrhyw un o'i frwydrau amatur, byddwch yn fy nghlywed yn y cefndir yn ei gymeradwyo. Rydw i wedi bod yn ei fywyd ers amser maith ac mae'n wych gweld dyn ifanc yn cael ei gyfle ac yn gwneud i'r gamp o focsio dyfu.

 

“Rwy’n gwybod ein rhaglen amatur yn D.C. yn anhygoel felly mae'n rhaid i chi roi bloedd i'r holl amaturiaid. D.C. ar fin bod yn fecca bocsio unwaith eto. Bydd gennym chwech, saith neu wyth pencampwr yn Ardal Columbia. Mae'n gyfoethog gyda bocsio.

 

“Rwy’n meddwl bod ymladd ar BET yn beth gwych. Rwy’n meddwl ei bod yn wych bod bocsio ar deledu am ddim nawr a does dim rhaid i bobl dalu amdano. Ar gyfer y bobl hynny na allant fforddio'r pethau hynny, Rwy'n meddwl ei fod yn wych iddyn nhw ac rwy'n credu y bydd yn gwneud y gamp o focsio yn well.

 

“Rwyf wedi newid llawer dros y blynyddoedd. Rydw i fod i fod wedi marw, dan glo neu yn y carchar. Cael Duw yn eich bywyd, eich persbectif o fywyd a phopeth yn newid. Rwy'n dawel ac yn gyfforddus yn fy sefyllfa. Diolch i Dduw am y cyfle. Diolch i Roc Nation Sports am y cyfle a diolch i bawb sy’n cefnogi Thomas “KO” Snow. Rydyn ni'n barod i'w wneud."

 

 

MIKE BALOGUN:

“Yn ystod fy ngyrfa, pan oeddwn i'n chwarae pêl-droed, Defnyddiais bocsio fel math arall o hyfforddiant ar gyfer cardio. Ar ôl i fy ngyrfa ddod i ben, roedd yn naturiol i mi gadw hyfforddiant a nawr rydyn ni yma. Mae pêl-droed yn fusnes. Cefais fy rhyddhau a chefais gyfle arall i chwarae yng Nghynghrair Pêl-droed Canada yn ogystal â Chynghrair Pêl-droed Arena, ond mae pêl-droed yn cymryd toll ar eich corff ac fe wnes i chwarae'r gêm am amser hir. Roedd yn naturiol i mi drosglwyddo. Roeddwn i angen rhywbeth i gadw'n actif o hyd, oherwydd heb weithgaredd, Doeddwn i ddim yn teimlo fel fi fy hun.

 

"Dydw i ddim yn gwybod llawer am fy gwrthwynebydd [Devon Mosley]. Rwy'n gwybod ei fod yn bapa deheuol yn union fel fi Dyna fwy neu lai y cyfan rwy'n ei wybod a'r cyfan sydd angen i mi ei wybod.

 

“Rwyf wedi paratoi ar gyfer y frwydr hon yn union fel unrhyw frwydr arall ... gwaith caled ac ymroi fy hun i fy nghrefft. Ar ddiwedd y dydd byddaf yn medi ffrwyth fy llafur.”

 

 

CROESO SAM “VANILLA GORILLA”.:

"Dydw i ddim yn gwybod llawer am fy gwrthwynebydd [Damion Reed]. Rwy'n gwybod ei fod yn ddyn tal llaw chwith. Dim ond fideo bach ohono fe wnes i ei wylio. Rydw i wedi bod yn sparring llawer o handers chwith ac yna rydym yn digwydd i gael dyn llaw chwith, felly fe weithiodd allan yn eithaf da.

 

“Rwy’n dal braidd yn siomedig am fy mherfformiad diwethaf yn D.C., felly rydw i'n mynd i ddod allan a rhoi sioe ymlaen Dydd Gwener, Mai 13.

 

“Mae unrhyw un rydych chi'n dod yn y cylch gyda nhw yn fygythiad, ond ar yr un pryd, Rwy'n hyderus yn yr hyn yr wyf wedi'i wneud i baratoi. Rydw i wedi bod yn sparring guys gyda 20 ymladd pro, felly, Rwy'n meddwl fy mod yn dda.

 

“Fe wnes i chwarae pêl-droed a phêl fas yn tyfu i fyny. Yn y bôn, yr hyn wnaeth fy nghael i mewn i focsio oedd y cefais fy newis pan oeddwn yn iau a smacio o gwmpas ar y cwrt pêl-fasged. Roeddwn i bob amser yn dweud pan fyddaf yn tyfu i fyny fy mod am allu curo'r dudes a oedd yn pigo arnaf. Yr hyn sy’n ddoniol yw bod llawer o’r dynion a fu’n fy mwlio nawr yn erfyn arna’ i am docynnau i’m brwydrau.”

Orlando Del Valle made his professional debut on April 11, 2008 at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey where he knocked out Rey Rivera in the third round. By October 2009, he had compiled a record of 7-0, including a third-round knockout victory over Christopher Rivera at Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Ar Fehefin 6, 2011, at Roseland Ballroom in New York City, he notched an impressive ten-round unanimous decision victory over Dat Nguyen in a fight telecast on Showtime’s ShoBox. Ar Fedi 29, 2012, Valley, gyda chofnod o 16-0, made is HBO debut at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods Resort in Mashantucket, Connecticut against Three-Time World Champion Vic “The Raging Bull” Darchinyan. Darchinyan controlled a majority of the bout, relying on his experience to pressure the young contender. In the ninth round Del Valle’s perseverance almost carried the day when he staggered Darchinyan with a tremendous left hook, badly hurting the former world champion. Darchinyan, Fodd bynnag,, was able to survive the round and hold on for a ten-round unanimous decision victory. After the defeat, Del Valle moved to Mexico City to train with Hall of Fame trainer Nacho Beristain. He rebounded in 2013 with two technical knockout victories over Andre Wilson and Juan Jose Beltran. Ar Fai 31, 2014, in a bout televised by HBO Latino from the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Del Valle faced another tough opponent in undefeated fellow Puerto Rican Luis Rosa. The ten-round, evenly matched fight went the distance producing a memorable, crowd-pleasing battle. Yn y bumed rownd, Del Valle sent Rosa to the canvas with a left hook and in the seventh round Rosa was deducted a point for a late punch, but in the end Rosa was awarded a unanimous decision victory. Since the Rosa setback, Del Valle has won all three of his fights, with none of them going the distance, including his last fight on April 9, in which he scored a second round technical knockout win over Josh Crespo at Rockingham Park in Salem, New Hampshire. Del Valle will look to keep that streak going on May 13 against Snow.

 

Deeply rooted in D.C. and the capital community, Thomas Snow is an experienced fighter with an impressive record of 18-2 (10 Kos). Snow, who supplements his boxing earnings by working as a floor technician at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, Maryland, began boxing at the age of ten at Round One Gym in Capitol Heights, Maryland, compiling a stellar amateur record of 129-10, which included three Washington D.C. Metro Golden Gloves championships. Yn 2004, he took home the national PAL amateur tournament title in the 119-pound weight class. Ar Dachwedd 5, 2005, he made his professional debut with authority, knocking out Ronald Viera in the first round at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He would go on to win his next nine fights, with seven of those wins coming by way of knockout, before he ran into fellow undefeated prospect and future world title challenger Teon Kennedy who dealt Snow his first professional loss in July of 2008. A streak of six consecutive wins would follow before he suffered another setback, again against an undefeated prospect in Nate Green. Following the defeat, Snow took nearly two and a half years off from boxing. The southpaw returned to the ring on March 6, 2015 and continued to live up to his “KO” moniker with a first round technical knockout win over Christopher Sanchez at the Omar Shrine in Charleston, South Carolina. Snow followed that win with a second round knockout of Tibor Nadori on December 4, 2015 at the Rosecroft Raceway close to home in Fort Washington, Maryland. He now faces a crossroads fight when he takes on Del Valle on May 13.

 

At the age of nineteen, Darmani Rock is already drawing comparisons to former heavyweight greats of the past. Rock has received high praise for his powerful jab and ambidexterity. Standing at 6’4”, he moves with an unparalleled lightness and speed for a fighter his size. Rock earned nation-wide accolades following a banner year in 2014 when he took home the USA Boxing Junior and Youth Open, Youth Continental and Youth World super heavyweight titles. During the 2014 Junior and Youth Open in Reno, Nevada, Rock shut out the 2013 National Youth Champion, John Luna, 3-0. This impressive performance was followed by another super heavyweight title at the Youth Continental Championships in March 2014 in Quito, Ecuador where he defeated Argentina’s Kervin Espinola, 3-0. Rock then took home the gold medal at the prestigious World Youth Championships in Bulgaria in April 2014 by a 2-1 decision over Germany’s Peter Kadiru. Rock also took home the 2014 World Junior Amateur Championship and capped off 2014 by being named Philadelphia’s Amateur Boxer of the Year at the annual Briscoe Awards. His most noteworthy win, Fodd bynnag,, came in May 2015 when he beat Cam Awesome, a career amateur who has been called the next Chris Byrd, in Las Vegas for the National Golden Gloves title. Rock also captured the 2015 U.S. National Amateur super heavyweight championship. He ended his amateur career as the number one rated super heavyweight in the United States (and the number five rated super heavyweight in the world) mynd 19-5 in national tournaments. His assault on the heavyweight division begins Mai 13 against Black.

 

Rockville, Maryland resident Carlos Du is better known to capitol region boxing as the “DC Diamond Cutter.” Turning professional late in life at the age of thirty, making his professional debut on April 23, 2015 at Tall Cedar’s Hall in Baltimore, Maryland scoring a four-round unanimous decision over the more experienced Lonnie Kornegay. Black, Fodd bynnag,, would fall short of victory in his next three bouts to George Arias on May 8, 2015 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, to Dennis Benson by a hard-fought four-round split decision in his return to Tall Cedar’s Hall on July 9, 2015 and to Jerry Forrest on September 26, 2015 at the Masonic Temple in Norfolk, Virginia. Tough like his nickname and propelled by his steadfast will, he believes he can one day fulfill his dream of becoming heavyweight champion of the world. That dream will come a step closer to reality should he defeat the highly touted Rock.

Abner Cotto is part of the famous Cotto boxing family of Puerto Rico. Legendary Miguel Cotto is a second cousin, while uncles Miguel Cotto Sr. and Evangelista Cotto were pro boxers themselves. Cotto is looking for his second straight win following a loss in a world-title elimination bout against current WBA Super Featherweight World Champion Javier Fortuna. Ar Mai 13 he faces the vastly experienced Juan Jose Beltran who has faced current World Champion Leo Santa Cruz and former World Champions Eric Morel and Rico Ramos.

 

Brooklyn’s unbeaten Younan Iau faces his stiffest test to date on Mai 13 pan fydd yn wynebu Austin Marcum. Younan returned following a nine-month injury induced layoff on Mawrth 26 on the Andre Ward vs. Sullivan Barrera undercard by pounding out a four-round unanimous decision over Carlos Lozano. Marcum is riding a four-fight winning streak and plans to take his 20-year-old opponent into unfamiliar territory, as Younan has yet to fight past four rounds.

 

Former Washington Redskin Mike Balogun looks to make it six straight wins since turning professional as a boxer in October of 2014. Balogun was a standout inside linebacker at the University of Oklahoma and spent a year on the Redskins’ roster in 2010. He also played briefly for the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers before retiring and becoming a full time boxer. Looking to stop Balogun’s rise as a pugilist on Mai 13 will be fellow local fighter Devon Mosley who is seeking his first professional win.

 

Local favorite Crossed Sam, has limited amateur experience, which his opponent Damion Reed, a 16-fight veteran hopes to exploit. Crossed, who works as bar tender, is expected to have hundreds of supporters behind him as he attempts to go to 3-0. Reed recently lost two hard-fought majority decisions to two cruiserweights and has a draw with Ken Moody.

 

Standing 6’6” and weighing 250 bunnoedd, Teimlad pwysau trwm Tseiniaidd Zhang Zhilei has shown boxing skills rarely seen in a big man since turning pro in August 2014. Undefeated in eight fights as a professional, Zhilei was a highly-decorated amateur, winning a silver medal in the super-heavyweight division at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, as well as bronze medals at the 2007 world amateur championships and 2009 AIBA world championships. He faces an opponent to be determined on Mai 13.
