VERONA, N.Y.. – June 10, 2022 - Undefeated heavyweight knockout artistBakhodir Jalolovtook his time on Friday night, but ultimately closed the show in dramatic fashion with an eighth-round knockout overJack Mulowayiao ny tena zava-nitranga ny iraySHOBOX: The New Generationtelecast at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y.. that helped kick off the International Boxing Hall of Fame Induction Weekend in nearby Canastota, N.Y..

Known as “Big Uzbek”, the 6-foot-7 Jalolov, a two-time Olympian and 2020 Gold Medalist from Uzbekistan, improved to a perfect 11-0 amin'ny 11 KOs when he landed a huge left hand that sent Mulowayi (11-3-1, 7 Kos) flat on his back in the eighth and final round.

“I’m feeling really good about the performance,” said the 27-year-old Jalolov. “The opponent was at a really good level and a great fighter. He was a really tough, durable guy. I landed some big shots on him and he can take a punch.”

In front of a who’s who of boxing royalty including the likes of Andre Ward, Shane Mosley, Antonio Tarver and Terence Crawford, Jalolov put an exclamation mark on an exciting night of boxing during an historic weekend of Hall of Fame inductions which will include the last three classes of inductees during Sunday’s ceremony.

Jalolov was dominant throughout the entire fight, with the only question being whether or not he would continue his knockout streak. It looked likely in both the third and fifth rounds, as Jalolov wobbled Mulowayi but the game Belgium showed heart in making it out of both rounds unscathed. In the sixth round, Mulowayi was dropped for just the second time in his career by a left cross as the bell sounded. He rose to his feet and beat the count, but was knocked down for good with yet another signature left hand at 1:20 ny fihodinana farany.

“I thought I was going to stop him at the end of the sixth round when I dropped him, but the referee let him continue and the round was over,” said Jalolov, who was deducted a point for holding in the fourth round. “I thought that was the time. But I had to wait until the final round. I’m happy that I got the stoppage. I feel like I hurt him three or four times.”

Jalolov went past the fifth round for the first time in his career, fipetrahana 47 percent of his power punches and out-landing Mulowayi 99-17 in total punches.

Ao amin'ny fiaraha-main hetsika, undefeated Dominican heavyweight prospectGeorge Arias(18-0, 7 Kos) won a tactical duel over previously unbeatenAlante Green(10-1-1, 7 Kos) via split-decision with scores of 78-74, 77-75 in favor of Arias and 77-75 for Green.

“I definitely learned more than anything from this fight so I give my performance a C-plus or a B-minus because this is the type of fight that makes me go back to the gym hungrier and knowing there’s a lot more to do,” said Arias, who now lives and trains out of the Bronx. “But we were blessed this time because should he have been a little bit stronger, things could have been more disastrous.”

Arias jumped out to a commanding lead in the first half of the fight, executing the game plan by outboxing Green and landing the cleaner, harder punches. Cleveland’s Green grew into the fight in the later rounds, but it was too little too late and Arias was able to do enough to hold off the late rally.

It was a difficult fight to score, as all three judges agreed on just two out of the eight rounds but the punch stats backed up the judges’ decision as Arias out-landed Green 81-58. Green became the 213faha- fighter to have his undefeated record spoiled onSHOBOX.

“Everyone who I face always trains for me a thousand percent better,” continued Arias. “He was real complete. He didn’t really necessarily have any weakness that I could exploit. The reaction time he had was really good and he had good inner footwork where it took me a little too long to get into a zone because every strategy I used he seemed to have a good reaction.”

Amin'ny mpanokatra telecast, undefeated lightweight prospectChann Thonson (11-0, 8 Kos) put on a boxing display, bruising, battering and eventually breaking down the previously undefeatedTyler Tomlin (13-1, 9 Kos) en route to a fifth-round TKO. Referee Mark Nelson stopped the action 1:01 ho any amin'ny manodidina.

“I knew if I stayed in the pocket with him that the shots I was going to give him would put him away,” said Canada’s Thonson, who is trained by former Olympic bronze medalist and light heavyweight contender Chris Johnson. “Surprisingly, he was a little tougher than I thought because when I hit him hard, he wasn’t taking a step back. So eventually I knew that would be his own demise and it was just a matter of time.”

Thonson, who was fighting for the fourth time in 2022, controlled the tempo and distance from the opening bell and looked like the more relaxed and experienced fighter. He used his jab and straight right hand to cause both swelling around Tomlin’s left eye and serious cause for concern in Tomlin’s corner. Prior to the start of the third round, Tomlin’s father and trainer Darryl urged his son to pick up the pace.

Na izany aza, it was Thonson who stepped on the gas even more. Late in the third round, Thonson landed a barrage of punches that hurt Tomlin and left his face a bloody mess. The sound of the bell temporarily saved Tomlin but his night would come to an end in the fifth round. Unable to avoid the constant punishment that Thonson was dishing out, the action was stopped after the ringside physician assessed Tomlin.

Ankapobeny, Thonson landed 44 percent of his power punches and out-landed Tomlin 102-39 in total punches.

"Tsapako tsara, I feel like I was in the fight. I just got caught with two overhand rights and I’m pretty sure one of them either broke or fractured my nose,” said the 22-year-old Tomlin. “It was in the second or third round when I got caught. I felt and it threw off the game plan as far as what I was trying to do. I got a little more hesitant than I should have. I just can’t get hit by those overhand rights. SHOWTIME, that’s what they do, they put good fighters against good fighters. I felt like I was going to come out on top but we have to go back and watch film and see what comes next.”

DEADWOOD, S.D. - Martsa 11, 2022 - Ardreal “Bossman” Holmesfought through injury and survived a tough test in his return to the ring for the first time in 28 months scoring a unanimous 10-round decision overVernon “Sub Zero” Brown ao amin'ny hetsika lehibe nySHOBOX: The New Generation as part of an action-packed tripleheader onFOTOANA FAMPISEHOANA Friday night at the Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, S.D.

(Full-fight highlights, ManindryETO)

The Flint, Mich., middleweight prospect Holmes (12-0, 5 Kos) remained undefeated fighting past the eighth round for the first time in his career even while hurting his left hand sometime in the second round during a flurry of punches. The maro ireo 98-92, 97-93, 96-94 as Holmes seemed to get his second wind as the fight progressed over Chicago’s Brown (13-2, 9 Kos).

(Holmes scores unanimous decision, ManindryETO)

“I was reborn tonight,” Holmes said. “This performance showed that I still have it in me. I hurt my left hand in the second round. I couldn’t punch how I wanted to. I was in a bunch of pain but I pulled through. Thinking about my family pushed me through the pain.”

The 27-year-old southpaw Holmes had a 194-129 edge in total punches while landing more than 40 isan-jato ny heriny punches. A total of 280 of the combined 323 total punches landed were power punches.

"Izy no olona tsara kokoa androany hariva,” Brown said. “I give it up to him. He studied me. He knew the punches I was going to throw. His corner kept yelling, ‘Watch the right hook.’ He did knock the wind out of me a couple times with body shots. I had to take a second to recover. In the last round, he was catching me with head shots.

“I need to work on my left hand. I need to be like Manny Pacquiao and work on my left hand because guys know I have power in my right hook. But I’m going down to 147. That’s my true weight.”

Holmes said no matter how much Brown hurt him, he was going to push through the pain. “I was rusty. I believe I need another fight to get the rust off. My timing wasn’t there. I’ve been off for like 800 andro, but this fight showed that I have a lot of heart. I want Paul Kroll next. He was talking a lot of junk against me. We have a history in the amateurs. He’s who I want.”

Ao amin'ny fiaraha-main hetsika, heavy-hitting lightweightEdwin De Los Santos (14-1, 13 Kos) scored a devastating second-round knockout againstLuis Acosta (12-1, 11 Kos), who suffered the first loss of his career.Acosta became the 211faha- fighter to have his undefeated streak snapped in the 21-year history of the prospect series.

(To watch the KO, ManindryETO)

“One-hitter quitter for De Los Santos!"SHOBOX mpandalinaBrian Campbellsaid of De Los Santos’ clean left cross that sent Acosta to the canvas as referee Mark Nelson signaled the end of the fight at 48 seconds in the second round.

“It was a left hand that was just a thing of beauty,” said International Boxing Hall of Famer andSHOBOXblow-by-blow announcerBarry Tompkins.

Dominican Republic’s De Los Santos landed 19 punches before scoring the fight-ending knockout in his secondSHOBOX appearance.

"Tafaverina aho,” said De Los Santos, who suffered a loss in his first SHOBOX appearance in January to William Foster III. “Everyone was counting me out after the last fight. They thought I was done after the loss to Foster. But I’m back. This is the kind of statement that I should have made last time. This is a new beginning for me. I thought I was going to catch him later in the fight but the opening came early with the straight left. My preparation was just better this time, I was just more focused and better prepared and this was the result. I’m ready for anyone.”

Amin'ny mpanokatra telecast, highly regarded prospectGiovanni Márquez (1-0) became the seventh fighter in the history ofSHOBOXto make his professional debut on the series, extending the streak to 7-0 in those bouts as Marquez scored a four-round unanimous decision over a gameNelson Morales. The maro ireo 40-36, ary 39-37 twice in the welterweight bout.

(Marquez scores unanimous decision, ManindryETO)

“I felt great,” said Marquez. “I hurt my left hand in the second round on a jab. I think I would have been able to stop him if I hadn’t hurt my hand.”

With his father and trainer, izao tontolo izao teo aloha tompon-dakaRaul Marquez, barking instructions from his corner, Houston’s Márquez – the 2021 national Golden Gloves 152-pound champion – dominated the welterweight affair, displaying his offensive skills and using his jab and uppercut effectively as the quicker and busier fighter. Marquez landed 30 isan-jato ny fitambaran'ny punches (85 fa 280) compared to Morales at 21 isan-jato (42 ny 201).

“All the attention, it’s really not normal for a 21-year-old,” said the elder Marquez, as he joined Tompkins and Campbell in the booth before the main event. “He handled all the pressure. I’m really proud of my son. I’m very satisfied.”

Added Giovanni: “It was a great experience. He was a tough, durable guy, but I feel like I handled everything, the cameras, all the attention pretty well. I started a little slow but after the first round I settled down and fought my fight. I felt fine without the headgear. We kept bumping heads, but he never hurt me. There was a lot of pressure on me, and I was a little nervous in the leadup to the fight, but once I got into the fight I relaxed and I felt comfortable. Ankapobeny, it was a great experience.”

Following a competitive first round, the 21-year-old Marquez dominated the second round, his confidence surging with every second that passed against the Dominican-born Morlaes.

“I think I did OK,” said the 30-year-old Dominican Republic-born Morales (2-1) now living in Scranton, Pa. “My strategy was to go in and box. He cut the ring off and applied good pressure. I can’t say too much because it wasn’t the best of me. He was OK. I’ll be back.”

The six other fighters’ victorious in theirSHOBOX pro debut include Dominic Breazeale, Marcus Browne, Terrell Gausha, Errol Spence Jr., Rau’Shee Warren and Gary Russell, Jr.

JAMAINE ORTIZ DAZZLES IN STANDOUT PERFORMANCE AGAINST TOUGH NAHIR ALBRIGHT IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: VAOVAO Taranaka

Paul Kroll and Marquis Taylor Battle to a Spirited Split Draw in Telecast Opener on SHOWTIME®

ClickETO fa Photos from Amanda Westcott / Showtime

Orlando, Fla. – February 18, 2022 - Jamaine “The Technician”Ortiz used his superior hand and foot speed to dance and dish out punishment against gameNahir Albright to win the vacant NABF title in the main event ofShoBox: The New Generation as part of an action-packed doubleheader onFOTOANA FAMPISEHOANA Friday night at the Caribe Royale Resort.

Ortiz (15-0-1, 8 Kos) sailed to a unanimous decision win by scores of 98-92, 97-93 ary 97-93 to remain undefeated and stamp his name as a player in a loaded lightweight division. ClickETO to watch video of the decision.

Whether he was walking Albright (14-2, 7 Kos) down or punching on the move, Ortiz produced a dominant and flashy performance over 10 fihodinana, wowing a crowd that included former light heavyweight championAntonio Tarver and San Francisco 49ers All-Pro offensive linemanTrent Williams. ClickETO to watch highlights of the ninth round.

After he was dropped twice in his last fight against Joseph Adorno in a majority draw in April, Ortiz looked more poised and patient in the early going, picking his punches carefully and hitting and moving while avoiding Albright’s big right hand.

As the difference in speed became apparent, Ortiz began to open up in the second after he scored with a big left that caught Albright clean. From that point on, Ortiz maintained control of the distance and pace, leaping at Albright with lefts and rights or peppering him with jabs.

“I think I showed maturity in this fight,” Ortiz said. “I was cautious in the beginning. I didn’t want to get caught like I did in my last fight. After I took the first couple rounds to feel him out, I saw that I could do whatever I wanted in there and I started to get into a groove and let my punches go.”

Ortiz, of Worcester, Mass., niantsona 48% (103 ny 216) ny heriny punches, compared to 41% for Albright (88 ny 216), but it was his body punching that produced the biggest numerical disparity. Ortiz out-landed Albright 42 ny 4 to the body, showcasing that aspect of his game in the fifth round when he found a home for several thudding body shots. Afterward, Ortiz called out the power-puncher Rolly Romero (14-0, 12 Kos) as the opponent he wants to face next.

“He’s got a big name,” Ortiz said. “He’s a big puncher, but he can’t box. That would be an easy fight. My goal is to have a title eliminator and to win a title. Aorian'izay, my goal is to be one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.”

Ortiz’s signature round was the sixth, when he showcased his footwork and speed, darting around the ring and landing rights and lefts. He connected with an overhand right on the run while New Jersey’s Albright was on the ropes and then landed several unanswered right uppercuts to punctuate the round.

Albright, an aspiring R&B singer, showed his toughness and resilience by trying to match Ortiz’s output each round. He had success in spurts, but it was fleeting. In the ninth, he landed a pair of overhand rights, only for Ortiz to use his footwork to avoid taking further punishment.

“He was the better man in there tonight,” an emotional Albright said. “It was a great experience and I saw a different look. I know that I have all the talent and ability, and this will not deter me at all from being a world champion.”

Amin'ny mpanokatra telecast, Paul Kroll aryMarquis Taylor fought to a spirited split draw in their eight-round super welterweight bout by scores of 77-75 for Kroll, 80-72 for Taylor and 76-76 in a verdict that frustrated both fighters. ClickETO to watch video of the decision.

Before the bout, Philly’s Kroll spoke of the little respect he had for Taylor’s power, since Taylor only had one knockout on his ledger, but it was Taylor who was the harder and busier puncher in the contest, relying on a check left hook that continually found its mark.

Houston’s Taylor connected on 34% of his power punches compared to 29% for Kroll, outscoring him 98 ny 71 and out-landing him 109 ny 84 in total punches.

Taylor (12-1-2, 1 KO) staggered Kroll (9-0-1, 6 Kos) in the sixth with the biggest punch of the fight, a left that caused Kroll to fall against the ropes as Taylor followed up with digging shots to the body.

“I thought I had it for sure,” Taylor said. “I thought I had the fight in the bag. I don’t know what the judges saw. I was being the aggressor and I landed the clearer shots. I thought I really had that fight with no questions. I don’t know what else I could’ve done.”

The busier and fresher fighter, Taylor didn’t sit in between rounds and at times had to be restrained by his trainer from running to the middle of the ring before his minute of rest was up.

Normally a patient and technically sound fighter, Kroll, a former amateur star who won the 2016 U.S. Ady Totohondry Olaimpika Fisedrana, went after Taylor in the first, throwing a wild right hand that continually missed its mark.

Kroll fought well in spurts and with urgency in the eighth and final round, but Taylor was ready for him.

“I thought I won the fight 5-3,” Kroll said. “I took the beginning and the end. He won a couple rounds in the middle. We can run it back on the next ShoBox. I am ready to fight him again. He was awkward, but I outworked him on the inside. I won that fight.”

Orlando, Fla. – January 8, 2022 - Luis “The Twist”Nuñez looked impressive in his second consecutiveShoBox: The New Generation outing registering a 10faha- round technical knockout against a gameCarlos Arrieta in the super featherweight main event of an action-packed tripleheader featuring six undefeated fighters onFOTOANA FAMPISEHOANA®Friday night at the Caribe Royale Resort.

(Stoppage videoeto)

The Dominican Republic’s Nuñez (16-0, 12 Kos) worked the body effectively all night against Puerto Rico’s Arrieta (14-1, 8 Kos), finally landing a staggering straight right hand that stunned Arrieta in the middle of the final round. Nuñez, 22, then finished off Arrieta with a flurry of punches that ultimately led to the stoppage at 1:41 ny 10faha- round on a night that saw three undefeated records fall on the popularShoBox prospect series.

“The plan was to work the body and to break him down and that’s what we did,” Nunez said. “I saw the right hand was landing and I kept throwing it and trying to set him up for it and attacking until we got what we wanted in the final round. It was a great shot and great win for my career. It’s the way I wanted to close the fight.”

Nuñez landed 38 percent of his power punches and out-landed Arrieta 142-131 in total punches on the night.

Arrieta’s loss was the 206faha- time inShoBox’s 21-year history that a fighter lost his undefeated record and the Nuñez-Arrieta matchup was the 144faha- ShoBox fight between undefeated fighters.

“I thought it was a quick stoppage,” Arrieta said. “I was a little stunned, but I could have continued. I didn’t want the fight to be stopped. He was a strong fighter, tena mpiady. He’s a very good fighter and was very effective with the right hand.”

Nuñez said he is ready to go back down to 126 pounds after contesting his first professional fight in the 130-pound super featherweight division. “I fought for most of my career at 122 toy izany 126 is where I belong,"Hoy izy. “I felt strong at this weight [Super featherweight] fa 126 is the weight for me.”

Hoy izy nanampy: “I knew he was a tough fighter and I’m not surprised the fight went as it did. Tonga Izy mba hiady, and we gave the fans a good fight.”

Ao amin'ny mpiara-endri-javatra, Otar Eranosyan remained unbeaten with his second consecutiveShoBox victory as he dominatedStarling Castillo with a unanimous-decision victory in an eight-round lightweight affair. The maro ireo 79-71 ary 80-70 twice.(Eranosyan UD winETO).

The former highly decorated Georgian amateur Eranosyan (11-0, 6 Kos), fighting out of Hollywood, Fla., dominated the bout, scoring ny 10-7 first round with two knockdowns against the Dominican Republic’s Castillo (16-1, 12 Kos). 

“We work on the left hook in training and when the opening presented itself I landed the left hook on the (voalohany) knockdown,” said Eranosyan, laharana faha No. 7 by the WBA at 130 kilao, who fought six times in 2021. “It’s fine that he got up. This is pro boxing. We train for 12 fihodinana, 10 fihodinana, eight rounds, however long it takes we will be there.

“I feel great about my performance. This is why I train like I do and fight as hard as I do for nights like these.”

Noho ny fandresena, Eranosyan believes the time is now for him to face the blue-chippers around his weight class.

“I’m ready for all the champions. Bring them on,” Eranosyan said. “Shakur Stevenson, Oscar Valdez, I’m ready for all of them. I’m getting better and better each fight and I’m ready now to face the best. I know that with more performances like these, soon I will be champion of the world.”

The 26-year-old Castillo suffered a knockdown in the first round on a left hand by Eranosyan that startled Castillo but wasn’t a direct connect. Just seconds before the round ended, Castillo was sent to the canvas once again on a counter right hand giving Eranosyan a 10-7 round and commanding early-fight lead.(First-round highlightsETO)

Eranosyan outlanded Castillo 153-102 in total punches. Of his 153 landed punches, 150 were power punches for Eranosyan.

The 28-year-old Eranosyan nicknamed “Pitbull” made hisShoBox debut in September and defeated the highly regarded Alejandro “Pork Chop” Guerrero via unanimous decision in Broken Arrow, Okla.

Amin'ny mpanokatra telecast, William Foster III passed a difficult test, earning a hard-fought split decision againstEdwin De Los Santos amin'ny valo-manodidina Super featherweight bout. Two judges scored the fight 77-74 twice for Foster, with the third judge scoring it 77-74 in favor of De Los Santos.(Foster’s split-decision winETO)

Foster (14-0, 9 Kos) of West Haven, Conn., overcame a slow start but was the busier fighter, outthrowing De Los Santos 468-421. Miady ao amin'ny U.S. fanjanahan'i, the power-punching De Los Santos (13-1, 12 Kos) ny Santo Domingo, Repoblika Dominikanina, had an eventful fourth round, suffering a cut above his left eye, which seemed to slow him over the final four rounds. It was the first time the Dominican suffered a cut in his professional career. De Los Santos also had a point taken away in the fourth for holding. Fatigue was also a factor as De Los Santos had never been past the sixth round in his young career and seemed to run out of gas as the fight wore on.

“I was pressuring him the whole time and I knew he was slowing down and eventually I would get to him,” said Foster, who kept moving forward as the fight progressed and dictated and landed the more powerful punches. “I thought it was the right decision because I was landing more shots as the fight went on.”

The 28-year-old Foster – the younger brother of 20-0 professional light heavyweight prospect Charles Foster – was surprised with how fast De Los Santos started. “I knew I had to stay calm, and I adapted and my experience allowed me to adjust to what was happening,” Foster said. “He wasn’t devastating, and the punches never hurt me. I knew he would slow down and when he did, I began to land my shots and had success with my pressure.”

Regarding the point deduction in the fourth, De Los Santos disagreed with the referee’s decision. “I didn’t think the point should have been deducted,” said De Los Santos, who had scored stoppages in his last seven fights. “I thought I should have been warned first.

“I thought it was a close fight, but I thought I did enough to earn the victory. I was landing the harder shots throughout and he never hurt me.”

Added De Los Santos: “He was a little awkward and he came with a little more than we thought he would, but I still thought I won. He was aggressive and maybe I slowed down a little as the fight went on, but I still thought I was landing. This is a setback but I’ll learn from this and come back better.”

O’Quinn vs. Sanchez – 10-Round Bantamweight Main Event Bout


Previously rated in the top-ten in the world by the WBO at 115 kilao, O’Quinn last fought at 118 pounds in a dominating unanimous decision over Oscar Vasquez in the 250th edition of ShoBox in January 2020. Ranked as the No. 1 amateur bantamweight in the country compiling a record of 130-18 alohan'ny nitodika matihanina amin'ny 2015, O’Quinn boasts blazing-fast hands and an ability to throw effortless combinations.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment,” said O’Quinn. “I can’t wait to show my talent to the world again. I don’t really know much about him, but he better learn all he can about me. Not that it will help him any. I’m going to win because there are levels to this and he is not on my level. That will be very apparent quickly. I’m a strong force in the bantamweight division. Training is going good but it’s hard. I train hard and fight easy.”


The 24-year-old Sanchez, izay laharana No. 8 by the WBA at 118 kilao, is riding a four-fight winning streak. His last time out, Sanchez made quick work of Frank Gonzalez, knocking him down three times en route to a first-round stoppage. The Pacoima, Kalifornia. native scored an eighth-round stoppage of Brandon Benitez in an entertaining and all-action fight in his ShoBox debut in May 2019. He dropped his next fight, a split decision to Edwin Rodriguez, but rebounded with a unanimous decision over Victor Trejo Garcia to jumpstart his winning streak. Trained by Manny Robles, Sanchez is the younger brother of 19-1 professional featherweight Emilio Sanchez.


“This is the biggest fight of my career on the biggest stage of my career, and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by,” said Sanchez. “I’m going to show everyone watching on SHOWTIME that I belong with the big boys. O’Quinn is a good fighter but I’m going to give him his first loss. I’m at a point in my career where I need to make that turning point to a world title shot, and that time is now.”


Garnett vs. Nunez – 10-Round Super Featherweight Bout


Jayvon Garnett hails from the boxing talent-laden city of Cincinnati, Ohio, where he first put on a pair of boxing gloves at the age of six. He had a stellar amateur career fighting over 110 fotoana, developing his style and sharpening his skills in Ohio’s very competitive amateur boxing scene. The 26-year-old is coming off his career-best professional win, a unanimous decision over the once-beaten Jose Argel in June. Combining exceptional quickness and accuracy with a propensity for power, the 5’3” Garnett stopped five of his first six professional opponents. He has won his last four contests on the scorecards, all unanimously.


“It feels great to be fighting on SHOWTIME,” said Garnett. “I always dreamed of fighting on big platforms, but never dreamed it would be ShoBox for my first TV fight. Tsy fantatro loatra ny momba ny manana ady, but I will win this fight because I’m smarter. Ao ny peratra, I’m a boxer and a thinker, but I also have heavy punches. Noho izany fandresena, I’m going to the next level up the ladder and getting closer to being in the world rankings.”


A decorated amateur in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata’s Luis Reynaldo Nunez started boxing at age eight and went on to win a number of national championships as a member of the Dominican national team, including gold in the 2016 Youth Championship. A fan-friendly pressure fighter with heavy hands, Nunez turned professional at 18, passing every test put in front of him in his native country. His unblemished resume includes a unanimous decision over then 20-3-1 Eliezer Aquino and a fourth-round KO over then once-beaten Giovanni Gutierrez.


“I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to be fighting on SHOWTIME,” said the 21-year-old Nunez, who will be fighting outside of the Dominican Republic for the first time. “My opponent is a good fighter but I am here to show him what happens against real competition. Thanks to my team for getting me this opportunity and I look forward to making a splash on national television.”


Guerrero vs. Eranosyan – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout


Miady avy tany Houston, Texas, Guerrero is a big-punching prospect who will be making his third appearance on ShoBox, looking to improve his record to 2-1 on the prospect development series. He won a closely contested slugfest via majority decision over Jose Angulo in March 2020, but was upset by Abraham Montoya in February. A celebrated amateur who won two junior national titles, the 23-year-old “Pork Chop” has sparred with the likes of world champions Mikey Garcia and Brandon Rios at the famed Garcia Boxing Academy in California.


“Training is going great,” said Guerrero. “I’ve been in shape for two months so now it’s just touching up basic stuff here and there with my technique. I know Eranosyan will be tough, so we’re going in with a strong mind knowing he can fight. I’m training hard because I will have to be more than ready. The guy will not be a walk in the park. But I have a different mentality now. The last fight, I went in with the mentality of ‘I can beat everybody.’ This one, I have to go in with a smart mind and actually box the guy and use all my skills.”


Ranked No. 9 by the WBA at 130 kilao, Eranosyan was a highly decorated Georgian amateur who has transitioned seamlessly into the paid ranks. The 27-year-old didn’t turn professional until August 2020, but has already fought nine times. Now based in Miami Beach, Fla., “Pitbull” owns two notable fourth-round KOs over the 32-4 Juan Carlos Pena, including in his last time out on August 13. Eranosyan will make his ShoBox debut as he fights for the seventh time in 2021, which also marks his first pro fight outside of Florida.


“I haven’t studied Guerrero too much, but I watched a couple fights and he’s a good fighter with very good punching power and very good stamina,” said Eranosyan. “I’m adding a lot of stamina training and working on my legs for this fight to be ready for him. I don’t know exactly what will happen, but simply I am the best in the division, so I will win.”

Tsy mahazatra, ny Shields 25 taona dia nivadika ho counterpuncher tamin'ny fiandohan'ity tolona ity, mba hanonerana ny fanandramana nataon'i Dicaire hitsambikina sy ivelan'ny sakany. Miantehitra amin'ny reflexes-ny hanasazy ny fanandramana atao amin'ny herisetra ataon'i Dicaire, Nihidy ny kanadiana ny Shields ary niverina tany amin'ny herisetra nandroso fanaony taty aoriana.

Dicaire dia tonga tany atsimo kalitao sisa tavela tao amin'ny Shields tamin'ny dingana efatra, angamba ny famelezana azy irery ihany tamin'ny ady, ary Shields nanetsiketsika azy fotsiny tsy misy vokany.

Niezaka ny handondona aho ary saika indroa aho no nanao izany, fa manana roa minitra izahay ary ny ref tsy manapotika azy rehefa mihazona ahy izy ary mihodina amiko. Faly aho fa mbola naniry ny fandondonana. Tsy nanana fotoana ampy fotsiny aho. Rehefa tapitra ny andro, Izaho no mpilalao vaovao tsy azo iadian-kevitra ao amin'ny 154 ary ilay mpiady ady totohondry voalohany tsy azo iadian-kevitra indroa. ”

Nilaza i Shields fa faly izy nahavita ny tantarany farany teo imason'ny fianakaviany sy ny namany tao Flint, na dia somary vitsy aza ny mpankafy tonga nanatrika ny areti-mifindra.

“Miaraka amin'i Covid, tsy afaka nanana fahaiza-manao feno izahay. Misy 300 eto ary izany no fahaizan'ny andro, ka manana trano feno izahay. Tsy afaka nanana fahaiza-manao feno izahay, fa fantatro raha afaka nanana isika, mety ho nanana isika 6000 olona ato. Faly aho fa nahavita azy teto (amin'ny Flint). Nanomboka ady totohondry aho teto tao Berston Fieldhouse tao 11 taona.

Tsy tratra be aho, fa nahazo vodin-kazo mahafinaritra aho, koa avia miaraka amin'io koba io dia ho eo aho. Farafaharatsiny iray tapitrisa ary ho tonga aho.

“Tsy afaka miaraka amiko i Savannah Marshall. Aoka isika hitandrina izany tena. Savannah Marshall, nandresy fanapahan-kevitra tsara vintana ianao tamin'ny mbola kely. London koa dia nampiantrano ny Lalao Olaimpika. Raha te hiravoravo amin'ny daroka ahy ianao 14 teboka 8… tongava izao. Ary avy eo dia lasa tompon-daka eran'izao tontolo izao aho tamin'ny fizarana telo samy hafa ary tapaka izy. Fantany fa tsy afaka ary tsy ho afaka hiaraka amiko mihitsy izy. Afaka tonga any Amerika izy. Handeha any UK aho. Afaka mandeha any Mexico isika. Afaka mandeha na aiza na aiza isika, ary hatsangako izy. Fantany izany. Matahotra ahy izy. Savannah Marshall afaka mahazo an'io. Lazao amin'i Eddie Hearn, tonga 250K izy io. Teneno izy ho avy mitondra 500K… 750K raha tiany ho any UK aho hifoka ny zanany vavy. Aloavy aho. ”

Heveriko fa hamela ahy hatanjaka fotsiny ity. Tsy boaty aho hiarovana ny firaketako na hitazomana ny firaketako 0 fatiantoka. Box aho handresy ny tompon-daka. Anio alina, Afaka nanohitra ilay tena tompon-daka aho. Nandresy izy tamin'ity indray mitoraka ity fa miankina amiko hiverina any amin'ny gym ary hiasa mafy ary ho tompon-daka eran'izao tontolo izao indray.

Padilla vs. Velasquez – Eight-Round Super Featherweight Bout

Padilla, 22, was born in Vieques, Puerto Rico, and currently lives and fights out of Berlin, N.J. The all-action, power-punching southpaw has stopped all but one of his professional challengers, including six opponents who failed to make it out of the first round. His last time out in January 2020, Padilla needed just 2:46 to stop Israel Suarez-Olmeda. Padilla turned professional in December 2016 after a stellar amateur career that included three National Championships and a record of 90-7. He trains alongside former world champions Tevin Farmer and Jason Sosa under trainer Raul “Chino” Rivas.

“Voalohany indrindra, Tiako ny hisaotra an'Andriamanitra, my family and my team for keeping me positive through these hard times,” said Padilla. “I am very excited for this opportunity to showcase my skills in front of a national audience. I have sacrificed a lot to get to this point in my career. It takes a lot of dedication to the sport and I am confident that it will pay off. It has been 13 long years of working hard to show the world who Victor Padilla is and, tamin'ny Martsa 10, a new chapter will begin. Thomas Velasquez is a good fighter and this is a good matchup, but may the best man win.”

Velásquez, another Philadelphia native, made his professional debut in 2015 and looked to be rapidly rising through the ranks, winning his first nine fights including five by way of knockout. A draw with Tyrome Jones in September 2017 stalled his career to a near standstill, as he did not fight again until 2020 when he scored a third-round KO over veteran Gustavo Molina in his return bout. The 25-year-old will look to regain the momentum he had earlier in his career with a win over the highly regarded Padilla. Amin'ny maha-mpankafy, Velasquez had a 30-3 record and won the Pennsylvania State Golden Gloves. He is trained by Hamza Muhammad, who also trains the newly crowned WBO Junior Featherweight World Champion Stephen Fulton Jr.

“I could not be happier to have this opportunity to show the world what I can do,” said Velasquez. “It doesn’t matter who is standing in the opposite corner, I fight to provide a better life for my twin daughters. I look forward to putting on a spectacular performance on March 10 and leaving that ring with my unbeaten record intact.”

International Boxing Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins will call the action from ringside with fellow Hall of Famer and boxing historian Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. Ny mpamokatra dia Gordon mpanatanteraka Hall amin'ny Richard Gaughan famokarana sy Rick Phillips mitarika.
