SLOAN, IOWA (Februar. 3, 2018) – Undefeated super middleweight prospects Ronald Ellis and Junior Younan fought to a split draw in the main event of ShoBox: Die neue Generation Freitag 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 am Freitag 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) gewann das 10th on all three judges’ scorecards by out-landing Younan 21-9.

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

“I thought I pulled it out. I closed the show at the end,“Sagte Ellis, von Lynn, Masse. “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. Ich würde ihn auf jeden Fall wieder kämpfen, but I’ll do whatever my promoter lines up for me.”

Nach dem Kampf, an emotional Younan (13-0-1, 9 KOs) pleaded his case for a rematch.

“Ich dachte, ich gewann den Kampf, 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, Wurf 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,Sagte Mattice. “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, verglichen mit 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, leider, 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, erzielte 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, der den Kampf mit einer Frist von nur vier Tagen aufgenommen hat, 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. Ja (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,Sagte die Liebe. “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.

“Ich fühlte mich stark. 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,Sagte Teah. “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.”

“It’s going to be fireworks from the jump,“Sagte 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. Dies ist meine erste Main Event, and I want to impress. It will be a good way to start 2018, which will be my year.”

Geboren in 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.

Ever since I started boxing, 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.

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.”

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.

He also represented Puerto Rico in the 2000 Olympischen Spielen in Sydney, Australien. Cotto has competed in 24 world championship fights, compiling a record of 19-5 mit 16 knockouts in those bouts. 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. Im Juni 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 “Wunder” 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 “Geld” Mayweather and Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao. Cotto owns his own boxing promotional company in Puerto Rico, Miguel Cotto Promotions, and presides over his charity La Fundación El Ángel de Miguel Cotto, a non-profit organization dedicated to combatting childhood obesity.

Juni 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, New York. 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. On November 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 Februar 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.

Luis “Orlandito” Del Valle Decisions Thomas “KO” Snow; Targets Bigger Opportunities

Washington, DC (Mai 14, 2016) - 122 pound contender Luis “Orlandito” Del Valle (22-2, 16 KO) von Bayamon, Puerto Rico scored a clear-cut, eight-round unanimous decision over local southpaw Thomas “KO” Snow (18-3, 12 KO) am Freitag, Mai 13 an der DC Armory in Washington, D.C.
Fighting on Roc Nation Sports’ Throne Boxing on BET, Del Valle looked to set the tone by pressuring the DC-based Snow in the opening round. In der zweiten, the former NABA featherweight champion landed a number of straight right hands, including one that sent Snow down hard. Sensing that a knockout may be imminent, Del Valle swarmed Snow but he made it out of the round.
The third saw Del Valle land a picture perfect left hook that dropped Snow again, who effectively tied up after tasting the canvas. Del Valle continued to press the action in the fourth and fifth stanzas, while Snow began moving his hands but still held frequently. Snow found moments of success in the sixth and had his best round in the seventh, during which he connected with a hard shot that got an off balance Del Valle’s attention. Still gunning for a knockout, Del Valle pushed the action in the eighth however, Snow tied him up on multiple occasions and finished on his feet.
While most fans and ringsiders had Del Valle winning at least six rounds, the scores were surprisingly 76-74 auf allen drei Scorecards.
"Thomas Snow was a very game fighter and I tip my hat off to him for being a tough competitor,” Del Valle said shortly after the victory. “I would’ve liked to have finished him, but he was constantly tying me up. I thought the referee would’ve warned him or taken a point, but that didn’t happen. This fight was a good learning experience and like JAY Z says ‘it’s onto the next one.’”
With Snow out of his way, Del Valle’s sights are set on bigger opportunities.
"I want to get my hands on one of the champions or top contenders at 122 Pfund. Ever since I started boxing, my goal was to become a world champion. I’m hoping to have the chance to fight for one of the belts soon because there’s nothing I want more than to bring a world title belt back to Puerto Rico.”

King’s Promotions Thomas “KO” Snow ready for statement win over Del Valle Friday night in Washington, DC

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar
Washington, DC (Mai 12, 2016)– An diesem Freitag night in Washington, DC, Thomas Schnee will meet Luis Orlando Del Valle (21-2, 16 KO) in the co-feature bout of nationally televised show live on BET.

The show is promoted by Roc Nation Sports.

Snow of Washington, DC has a record of 18-2 mit 12 knockouts and this is a big opportunity fighting on a big platform.
“Trainingslager war groß. It was a perfect camp and now it is time to do something, and I am going out there to get the win.”
Asked what he knew about Del Valle, Snow did know much other than some basic information.
“Del Valle is a conventional fighter from Puerto Rico. He has a similar record, but hasn’t fought many good guys. I saw his fight with (Ex-Weltmeister) Vic Darchinyan. (A fight that Del Valle lost via unanimous decision in 2012).
This is a fight that most boxing experts believe is a crossroads fight, with the winner leaping into contention, but Snow does not feel the pressure of the fight.

“I think he has more to lose then me. I am moving up two weight classes. I would prefer to be fighting at 115 Pfund, but the opportunities have been coming at higher weights. Mit diesem wird gesagt, I don’t think he is on my level. So I am confident in this fight and the win will be an awesome breakthrough.”
Despite fighting in his hometown, Snow does not think that plays any part in who will win the fight.
“There is no advantage to that. Beim Boxen, it just takes one punch and that crowd I not help that.”
“I know what I did in training camp and I am prepared. I am not fearful of any man. God blessed me with skills and I am going to do the work. I just know by keeping God in your life, everything will go great for you.”
Said Snow’s promoter, Marshall Kauffman of King’s Promotions, “This is a great opportunity for Thomas. He has shown throughout his career that he has talent. His only losses have been to undefeated guys, but he has had a tremendous camp, und am Freitag night he will show that he should be one of the top contenders in the super bantamweight division”

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Mai 11, 2016) - Am Dienstag, Mai 10, Washington, D.C. ist ungeschlagen Dusty Hernandez-Harrison (29-0, 16 KOs) und Bakersfield, Kaliforniens Mike „The Silent Assassin“ Dallas Jr. (21-3-1, 10 KOs) nahm an einem Medientraining bei Urban Boxing DC in Washington teil, D.C. vor ihrem Mai 13 Kämpfe in der DC Armory. Hernandez-Harrison vs. Dallas Jr.. wird Schlagzeile a Thron Boxen Event in einem 10-Runden-Kampf im Weltergewicht, der ab 19:00 Uhr live auf BET übertragen wird 10:00 p.m. UND/PT und live auf einer globalen Musik- und Unterhaltungsplattform gestreamt, TIDAL.com. Mitwirkender Kämpfer Thomas „KO“ Snow (18-2, 12 KOs) von Washington, Gleichstrom, der Dorado gegenübersteht, Puerto RicoOrlando „Orlandito“ Del Valle (20-2, 15 KOs), und Undercard-Kämpfer Mike Balogun (5-0, 4 KOs) von Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Wer wird gegen Capitol Heights kämpfen?, Maryland Devon Mosley (0-4-1), und Greenbelt, Maryland Sam „Vanilla Gorilla“ gekreuzt (2-0, 1 KO) wer übernimmt Damion Reed (2-13, 1 KO) aus Danville Virginia waren ebenfalls beim Medientraining anwesend am Dienstag.

 

Nach Schattenboxen um den Ring und ein paar Runden Bearbeiten der Taschen, Alle fünf Kämpfer nahmen an Interviews mit eingeladenen Medienvertretern teil.

 

Nachfolgend finden Sie, was die Kämpfer während des Trainings zu sagen hatten:

 

DUSTY HERNANDEZ-HARRISON:

„Ich denke, viele Leute unterschätzen Mike Dallas Jr. Ich denke, sie zählen ihn zu früh aus. Wenn Menschen von einer schweren Niederlage zurückkommen, trainieren sie oft härter, Sie nehmen es ernster und tilgen alle Fehler, die sie in früheren Trainingslagern gemacht haben, Das ist es also, was ich von ihm erwarte. Zum Glück Barry Hunter [Hernandez-Harrisons Trainer] kennt ihn gut als Kämpfer, also bin ich von dem, was er sagt, abgewichen.

„Ich habe beim Sparring tolle Leistungen gezeigt. Ich kam vom Sparring mit Canelo Alvarez nach Hause und ging direkt zum Sparring mit Lamont Peterson über, Austin Trout, Demetrius Hopkins und andere Kämpfer auf der Karte. Einfach wirklich gutes Sparring.

 

„Ich freue mich darauf, bei BET zu kämpfen. Es ist ziemlich cool. Ich denke, es ist gut, das Boxen einem neuen Publikum zugänglich zu machen. Hoffnungsvoll, Ich habe einen guten Kampf veranstaltet, um sie zu unterhalten. Und vor unserem Kampf tritt Justine Skye auf. Sie hat eine völlig andere Fangemeinde als ich und ich denke, es ist eine weitere gute Möglichkeit, ein neues Publikum für unsere Veranstaltung zu gewinnen.

 

„Ich habe viel aus dem Training mit Canelo in seinem Trainingslager mitgenommen. Es war gut, ein Trainingslager aus einer anderen Perspektive zu betrachten. Normalerweise dreht sich alles um mich, Alles ist für mich da und alle kümmern sich um mich, Deshalb war es gut, einen Schritt zurückzutreten und zu sehen, wie sich jemand wie er auf höchstem Niveau auf einen Kampf um den Weltmeistertitel vorbereitet. Glücklicherweise, Ich ging weg mit dem Wissen, dass ich alles richtig gemacht habe.

 

„Kämpfe in meiner Heimatstadt Washington, D.C. ist besser für mich. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich für mehr kämpfen muss. Ich habe mehr zu verlieren, was mir hilft. In D.C. wird man mich nie „No mas“ sagen hören.

 

„In meinem Alter, Meine Vorbereitung ändert sich mit jedem Kampf. Ich erinnere mich an die Kämpfe in Connecticut im April und dann in Miami im August, Das scheint wirklich nah dran zu sein, aber Billy Briscoe [Hernandez-Harrisons Co-Trainer] War da und sagte: „Du bist so viel stärker geworden.“ Das ist genau das Alter, in dem ich gerade bin. Ich werde wirklich reifer und bekomme die Kraft dieses Mannes. Mit jedem Kampf fühle ich mich viel stärker.“

 

 

MIKE „DER STILLE ASSASSIN“ DALLAS JR.:

„Ich fühle mich vor diesem Kampf sehr gut … selbstbewusst und stark. Ich bin einfach bereit, rauszugehen und aufzutreten. Auf ihm lastet mehr Druck als auf mir, wenn ich in seiner Heimatstadt kämpfe.

 

„Ich habe für diesen Kampf ein gutes Training erhalten. In der Bay Area gibt es derzeit jede Menge gutes Sparring. Ich hatte ein gutes Training mit Ben Bautista [Der Trainer von Dallas Jr] und wir haben es vorangetrieben. Ich musste hart trainieren, um durchzukommen, und ich bin bereit, mich intensiv in den Kampf zu stürzen.

 

„Ich habe mir eine Auszeit genommen, um meinem Körper Ruhe und Heilung zu gönnen und meinen Geist zur Ruhe zu bringen. Jetzt fühle ich mich großartig. Ich bin bereit, zurückzukommen und die Dinge wieder in den Griff zu bekommen. Ich werde da rausgehen und mein Ding machen.

 

„Ich weiß, dass Dusty ein ziemlich guter Kämpfer ist. Ich weiß, dass er boxen kann. Ich bin gerade bereit, da rauszugehen, Seien Sie schlau und führen Sie den Spielplan aus. Ich bin bereit, dass die Leute wissen, dass ich mental wieder da bin. Ich bin bereit, wieder ins Spiel einzusteigen und mich in diesen größeren Kämpfen um diese Leute zu kümmern.“

 

 

THOMAS „KO“ SCHNEE:

„Ich kenne meinen Gegner [Orlando Del Valle] ist ein konventioneller Kämpfer aus Puerto Rico. Er ist ein einfacher Kämpfer … ein einfacher Doppelsieger. Er ist der beste Gegner, gegen den ich bisher gespielt habe. Wir haben beide zwei Verluste erlitten, Deshalb weiß ich, dass es für uns ein Scheideweg ist. Wir werden da reingehen und tun, wozu wir gekommen sind.

„Ich habe in D.C. gekämpft. oft. Es ist mein Zuhause.

 

„Es ist großartig, weil ich Dusty kenne, seit er sechs Jahre alt ist. Wir sind immer zusammen gelaufen. Wir haben gerade drüben in der Ecke darüber gesprochen. Wenn Sie sich einen seiner Amateurkämpfe ansehen, Du wirst mich im Hintergrund hören, wie ich ihn anfeuere. Ich bin schon lange in seinem Leben und es ist großartig zu sehen, wie ein junger Mann seine Chance bekommt und den Boxsport wachsen lässt.

 

„Ich kenne unser Amateurprogramm in D.C. ist großartig, also muss man allen Amateuren ein Lob aussprechen. D.C. wird wieder zum Mekka des Boxens. Wir werden sechs haben, sieben oder acht Champions im District of Columbia. Es ist reich an Boxen.

 

„Ich denke, dass es eine großartige Sache ist, bei BET zu kämpfen. Ich finde es großartig, dass Boxen jetzt im Free-TV läuft und die Leute nicht dafür bezahlen müssen. Für die Leute, die sich diese Dinge nicht leisten können, Ich finde es großartig für sie und denke, dass es den Boxsport besser machen wird.

 

„Ich habe mich im Laufe der Jahre sehr verändert. Ich soll tot sein, eingesperrt oder im Gefängnis. Gott in deinem Leben haben, Ihre Sicht auf das Leben und alles ändert sich. Ich fühle mich in meiner Situation ruhig und wohl. Ich danke Gott für die Gelegenheit. Ich danke Roc Nation Sports für die Gelegenheit und ich danke allen, die Thomas „KO“ Snow unterstützen. Wir sind dazu bereit.“

 

 

MIKE BALOGUN:

„Während meiner Karriere, als ich Fußball spielte, Ich habe Boxen als eine weitere Form des Cardio-Trainings genutzt. Nachdem meine Karriere vorbei war, Für mich war es selbstverständlich, weiter zu trainieren, und jetzt sind wir hier. Fußball ist ein Geschäft. Ich wurde entlassen und hatte eine weitere Gelegenheit, sowohl in der Canadian Football League als auch in der Arena Football League zu spielen, Aber Fußball fordert einen Tribut vom Körper und ich habe das Spiel lange gespielt. Der Übergang war für mich ganz natürlich. Ich brauchte noch etwas, um aktiv zu bleiben, denn ohne Aktivität, Ich fühlte mich nicht wie ich selbst.

 

"Ich weiß nicht viel über mein Gegner [Devon Mosley]. Ich weiß, dass er genau wie ich ein Rechtsausleger ist. Das ist so ziemlich alles, was ich weiß und alles, was ich wissen muss.

 

„Ich habe mich wie auf jeden anderen Kampf auf diesen Kampf vorbereitet … harte Arbeit und Hingabe an mein Handwerk. Am Ende des Tages werde ich die Früchte meiner Arbeit ernten.“

 

 

SAM „VANILLA GORILLA“ GEKREUZT:

"Ich weiß nicht viel über mein Gegner wissen [Damion Reed]. Ich weiß, dass er ein großer Linkshänder ist. Ich habe nur ein kleines Video von ihm gesehen. Ich habe mit vielen Linkshändern gesparrt, und dann haben wir zufällig einen Linkshänder erwischt, also es hat ganz gut geklappt.

 

„Ich bin immer noch ein wenig enttäuscht über meinen letzten Auftritt in D.C., Also werde ich rauskommen und eine Show veranstalten Freitag, Mai 13.

 

„Jeder, mit dem man in den Ring steigt, stellt eine Bedrohung dar, aber zur selben Zeit, Ich bin zuversichtlich, was ich zur Vorbereitung getan habe. Ich habe mit Jungs trainiert 20 Profi Kämpfe, so, Ich denke, ich bin gut.

 

„Als ich aufwuchs, habe ich Football und Baseball gespielt. Im Prinzip, Was mich zum Boxen brachte, war, dass ich, als ich jünger war, gehänselt wurde und auf dem Basketballplatz herumschlug. Ich habe immer gesagt, wenn ich groß bin, möchte ich in der Lage sein, die Typen zu verprügeln, die auf mir herumhacken. Das Lustige ist, dass viele Leute, die mich gemobbt haben, mich jetzt um Karten für meine Kämpfe betteln.“

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. Juni 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. September 29, 2012, Tal, mit einem Rekord von 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, jedoch, 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. On May 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. In der fünften Runde, 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 Schnee 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. In 2004, he took home the national PAL amateur tournament title in the 119-pound weight class. On November 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, Darman Felsen is already drawing comparisons to former heavyweight greats of the past. Rock has received high praise for his powerful jab and ambidexterity.
