ATLANTIC CITY (Xan. 21, 2017) – In a stunningly one-sided affair, Danny “Baby Face Assassin” Roman scored an upset ninth-round TKO over previously unbeaten Adam López in a WBA Super Bantamweight Title Eliminator Venres no evento principal de ShoBox: A Nova Xeración on SHOWTIME from Bally’s Atlantic City Hotel and Casino.
Lopez’s trainer, renowned Ronnie Shields, decided his boxer shouldn’t take any more punishment and asked the referee to stop the contest after nine completed rounds.
Romano (21-2-1, 8 Kos), who was ranked No. 4 no WBA, gañou o seu 14th in a row in a career-best performance. He out-boxed and out-slugged the No. 3-rated Lopez (16-1-1, 8 Kos), de San Antonio, Texas, from the outset. Roman seized command in the fourth round with two knockdowns, first with a left hook and then, with a left uppercut.
López, who was appearing on ShoBox for a fifth time, tried to fight back, but Roman’s skill and harder pinpoint-punching led to the scheduled 12-round fight being stopped between rounds nine and 10.
Win the victory, Roman is now in position to challenge WBA 122-pound World Champion Nehomar Cermeno.
“The main event was a shocker,", Dixo ShoBox analista experto Steve Farhood. “We didn’t know much about Danny Roman. And he sure earned that title fight against Nehomar Cermeno. It’s a bittersweet for us, para López. We know him well. He’s fought five times on ShoBox but now doesn’t look like he is going to get that title fight since this is the second opportunity he had and he took a real beating. It’s going to take a while for him to come back.”
In the final three rounds, Roman out-landed Lopez 107-27, e 84-20 en golpes de poder. In the final session, Roman landed more punches (43) than Lopez threw. It was a merciless beating followed by a merciful stoppage. Roman landed 54 por cento dos seus tiros de enerxía, Incluíndo 67 percent in the final round.
“Adam Lopez is a great and tough fighter,” said Roman. “He came prepared, but I came out with the victory.
“I started hurting him with uppercuts. I dropped him twice the fourth. I felt I was going to stop him there, but the bell saved him.
“My plan was to break him down little by little, and I felt that was starting to take effect as he was losing his steam in the third round, but he kept on going.
“I knew he would have one last stand, but I knew I would stop him. Even if they didn’t stop it in the corner, I knew I would get him out of there.
"Agora, I am going to go back to the gym. I have to start working on the basics again and begin to prepare for my title shot. I’m very excited.”
López, who left the ring promptly after the stoppage, was not happy with his performance.
“He was the better man esta noite,” he said as he sat with his head down in the locker room. “I kept trying to catch him with uppercuts and I got caught every time. I was trying to get on the inside, but it was hard.
“I thought I was clawing my way back into the fight, but my eye started hurting. It was the first uppercut that knocked me down in the fourth that got me right in the eye. It was hard to keep on going with my eye like that.
“When I got back to the corner after the ninth round, Ronnie told me he had seen enough and he stopped the fight.”
In the co-main event of the evening, supermediano invicto Ronald "Flatline" Ellis took a unanimous eight-round decision in a messy-grappler-type affair overChristopher "Ice Cold" Brooker polos correas de 79-73 dúas veces e 77-75.
“Ellis-Brooker was an ugly fight,'' Farhood dixo. “Brooker didn’t really have any answers. Ellis won clearly but he didn’t shine, mostly because of his opponent’s style.”
Ellis (14-0-1, 10 Kos), de Lynn, De Masa., established the tone of the fight with an explosive first round in which he went 27-of-90 overall—both high totals for the fight—to Brooker’s 8-of-45. Ellis won the body shots battle (64 para 31) and landed sharper combinations during the rare moments the fighters were at distance.
In the final three rounds, Ellis continued applying pressure with accuracy.
“I am back and I want some more,” said Ellis. “That was a good fight. I fought smarter today than in my last ShoBox aspecto. I’m not going to lie, he was tough and came at me very hard, but I maneuvered. Estou moi feliz co meu rendemento.
“He was big and strong and was holding a lot, but my boxing skills took over in the fight. He was trying to get on my nerves, but I knew that my skills would get me the win.”
Brooker (11-3, 5 Kos), who was very unhappy with the judges’ scorecards said, “I don’t know what these judges are looking at. I had the better ring generalship, aggressiveness and I brought all the pressure.
“I feel that because he was undefeated, the judges must have put him on a pedestal. Even though I have a couple losses, look who I have fought and defeated. I am an elite-level fighter as well, and I should get that same respect. That’s why SHOWTIME has me on.
“Ao final do día, I just fight. It is up to fans who watch, they are the real judges for me.”
Na apertura da transmisión, invicto super lixeiro Kenneth “Bossman” Sims Jr. handed Emmanuel “Renegade” Robles the second loss of his career in a closer than the scorecards reflected eight-round unanimous decision. It was scored 79-72 dúas veces e 78-73.
“Kenneth Sims Jr. is the typical ShoBox prospecto,'' Farhood dixo. “He showed a lot of good skills. He fought a different fight than the one we expected. He was more aggressive than we thought he’d be. With his amateur background and now the exposure on TV, I think he is a potential star.”
Sims (11-0, 3 Kos), de Chicago, Ill., who went past the sixth round for the first time in his career, began the fight with an overwhelming high-volume attack highlighted by vicious body shots.
Robles (15-2-1, 5 Kos), de San Diego, Calif., con todo, picked up the pace and took advantage of Sims slowing his pace in rounds four through six. Robles upped his work rate and out-landed Sims 78-66 En xeral. Referee Bengy Estives took a point way from Sims in round six for dropping his mouthpiece.
Sims gritted his teeth and caught his second wind in the seventh and eighth by out-landing Robles 49-34 global e 46-24 power to grab a wider-than-expected decision.
“I didn’t have my best performance, but I still got the win,” Sims said. “I was trying too hard for a knockout, and that’s not me. He was a durable opponent, but my performance had nothing to do with that.
“I want to talk to my team about my next fight. My speed and feet were the difference in the fight, but I did not use them as much as I should.”
Robles, who was disappointed with the verdict, acknowledged Sims’ speed.
“He was moving a lot and I couldn’t neutralize that,’’ Robles said. “He was slicker than I thought he was going to be. I was putting on a lot of pressure and wanted to work the body, but he was slick and able to withstand what I was doing.
“I just have to get back to training and get better. You’ll see more of me. I will be back.”
Venres three-fight telecast will re-air Luns, Xaneiro 23 en 10 p.m. E/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND beginning January 21.

ADAM LOPEZ VS. DANNY ROMAN – 10 Rounds, Super Bantamweights
López, de San Antonio, Texas, por medio de Phoenix, Silvestre., is a prototypical ShoBox prospect-turned-contender. El é 3-0-1 on the series, having defeated three previous unbeaten boxers on the series: Mario Muniz (11-0) in a hard-fought 10-round decision on Feb. 19, 2016, outpointing Eliezer Acquino (17-0-1) across 10 rounds on July 17, 2015, and knocking out Pablo Cruz (11-0) in the second round on March 13, 2015. No seu último ShoBox excursión, Lopez boxed a 12-round draw with Roman Reynoso(18-1-1) en xullo 22, 2016.
“This will be my toughest fight. It is all about levels and progressing,’’ Lopez said of the matchup between the 26-year-old world-ranked contenders. “This may be my lastShoBox fight so I want to save the best for the last.
“Roman is very good fighter and I’m ready for a tough fight. He’s progressed a lot. He’s a good puncher, counter puncher and works the body. But I’m ready for whatever he brings. A win would be huge — it puts me in contention to fight a world champion.’’
An excellent boxer-puncher and tactician that likes to counter, Lopez was a standout amateur before going pro in February 2012. He is coming off an eighth-round knockout over Carlos Valcarcel en novembro. 11, 2016, and is facing likely his toughest test to date in Lopez.
Roman has won 13 in a row dating to March 2014 – and none of the fights have been close. Foi 4-0 en 2014, 6-0 en 2015 e 4-0 en 2016. The Los Angeles native, who is coming of an eight-round decision over previously unbeaten Marlon Olea (12-0) último Novembro. 18, fará a súa ShoBox and East Coast debut in just his second outing outside of Southern California.
“I’ve been extremely active over the last few years and now all the hard work is starting to pay off,’’ said Roman, a pro since October 2009. “This is a tremendous opportunity and the type of fight I’ve been preparing for. Adam Lopez is a great fighter, and he’s highly ranked just like me. We are going to give the fans an exciting fight.
"Podo boxear, Podo pelexar. I give the fans what they want. I think people are going to be impressed with how I fight. People want to see a fight and I know I’m going to bring it. Boxing fans are going to know who Danny Roman is on Xan. 20.''
RONALD ELLIS VS. CHRISTOPHER BROOKER, 8 Rounds, Super-medio
Ellis, de Lynn, De Masa., and Brooker, de Philadelphia, are making their second ShoBox comezos. Like Lopez, they fought Feb. 19, 2016, en Atlantic City. Ellis boxed an entertaining eight-round majority draw in a slugfest with hard-hitting Jerry Odom; Brooker took an eight-round majority decision over previously unbeaten John Magda(11-0) in a match that was originally announced a split draw but was later changed to a majority decision win for Brooker.
This will be Ellis’ second fight since the Odom fight. The 27-year-old Ellis, o irmán maior da perspectiva de peso welter Rashidi Ellis, outpointed Oscar Riojas across eight rounds on Dec. 10.
Ellis feels he’s benefited from going the distance in consecutive contests. “It’s helped me that I’ve gone through it before,", dixo Ellis, whose 10 knockouts have come inside two rounds (oito no primeiro). "Agora, I know what they’re looking for. This time I’ll finish super strong and put on a show. I need this to further my career and put me in main event fights.
“I’ve seen Brooker fight a few times. He’s a tough guy who comes forward and comes to fight, and that is perfect for me. Brooker will be there for me to hit, and it will give me a great opportunity to showcase my talents.’’
Como afeccionado, Ellis upset Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Luvas de Ouro nacionais. Gausha went on to represent the United States at the 2012 Olympic Games and is now an undefeated professional middleweight.
Brooker, a physically strong, aggressive-minded boxer-puncher, is trying to regain his winning ways after a nine-fight winning streak ended when he lost by 10th-round TKO to highly regarded Ronald Gavril (16-1) último Outubro. 8 en Las Vegas. The 25-year-old Brooker dropped Gavril in the fifth round but went down twice in the 10th before it was stopped at 2:04. Entering the 10th e última rolda, the fight was even on the judges’ scorecards.
“I’m ready and excited to get back in the ring,’’ said Brooker. “I can’t wait to fight another undefeated fighter on ShoBox. I’m still looking to get to the next level. I was at Ellis’ last fight, and I saw an average fighter compared to the guys I’ve fought. He’s solid, throws nice, short punches but runs out of gas.
“In my last fight I lost because I kept looking for the KO. I have a new trainer now (Gaunch Muhammad), and I’m getting back to the technical part of boxing. I’m jabbing more, and in my previous camps I wasn’t jabbing or boxing enough. I have the heart and condition but I have to get to my opponent with the jab.’’
The Philadelphia native was a top level amateur who has been active since turning professional in 2015.
KENNETH SIMS JR. VS. WELLINGTON ROMERO – 8 Rounds, Super Lightweights
Sims, de Chicago, is matched with unquestionably the most dangerous opponent of a career that began in March 2014. This will be the eight-round debut for the 23-year-old, who has gone six full rounds six times.
“This is the biggest fight of my career,’’ said Sims, who is coming off a six-round decision over Jonathan Dinong último Novembro. 11. “I will be prepared for anything that I have to do. I’ve seen videos of Romero and I know he is a good fighter. I fought world champions in the amateurs so it’s not a big deal to fight him. I need to take care of business and get my win on national television. It’s as simple as that.”
Sims was a main sparring partner for Floyd Mayweather (when he was getting prepared for Andre Berto) e Manny Pacquiao (as he was getting ready for Mayweather). Sims, known for his boxing skills and ability to work the body, era un 2013 U.S. National Amateur Champion and a 2012 Olympic Trials semifinalist.
Romero had 268 amateur bouts and represented his native Dominican Republic in the 2012 Xogos Olímpicos, where he lost to eventual Gold Medalist Vasyl Lomachenko. Shortly thereafter he relocated to New York, where he turned pro in 2013. The 25-year-old is coming off a first-round knockout over Engleberto Valenzuela en decembro. 10.
A slick boxer who can punch and gives opponent issues because of his awkward style and movement, Romero has been brought along carefully against mostly modest opposition. The southpaw is coming off a first-round TKO over Luís Meroles last Dec. 5.
Romero understands that this could likely be his most daunting task to date. “I’m looking forward to introducing myself to the American public,'' Dixo el. “Sims is a good fighter but I will always like challenges, and this will be my biggest challenge as a pro.’’
STEPHON YOUNG VS. DANIEL ROSAS – 8 Rounds, Super Bantamweights
Mozo, de St. Louis, is making his second ShoBox comezo. In his debut, he boxed a 10-round draw with previously undefeated Nikolai Potapov (14-0) in April of 2016.
“To be able to be back on ShoBox feels good,” said Young, who registered a majority 10-round decision over previously once-beaten Juan Lopez Jr. in his last scrap on Sept. 30, 2016. “My first fight on ShoBox was not a fair decision. It was my first 10-rounder and I feel like I won the fight. This time I will be able to show more of what I have.
“Training has been great. I already have been in camp for two months. The fight against Potapov was my first with my new coach (Herman Caicedo), and this will be our third fight. We won the NABA title by beating Lopez and now we’re back.”
The 25-year-old Young, who is currently ranked No. 9 no WBA, was an experienced amateur who compiled a record of 86-13 while representing the U.S. in a number of tournaments. In the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2011, he lost to the No. 1-rated amateur, Rau'shee Warren.
The 27-year-old Rosas, da Cidade de México, is a nine-year veteran who is experienced against top opposition. En 2011, in just his 13th professional fight, Rosas fought to a 12-round split draw against José Cabrera in a bout for the Interim WBO Super Flyweight World Title. En 2014, he lost a close, unanimous decision to Alejandro Hernandezfor the Interim WBO Bantamweight Title.
Rosas has rattled off three consecutive victories since fighting Hernandezt. Na súa última loita en Abril 29, he lost via TKO to current IBF Super Bantamweight ChampJonathan de Guzman na súa U.S.. estrea.

En bruto e caer, colisión sanguenta de pesos cruceiro invictos na co-función, zurdo Constantin Bejenaru (12-0, 4 Kos, 0-1-1 no World Series of Boxing), de Catskill, N.I.. a través de Moldavia, sobreviviu a un derribo e varios golpes de cabeza involuntarios para rexistrar unha decisión unánime de 10 asaltos sobre Steve Bujaj (16-1-1, 11 Kos), de Nova York.
Favorito dos fans locais Manuel “A Tormenta” Méndez (13-1-2, 9 Kos), de Indio, Calif., rexistrou un impresionante golpe, 2:32 nocaut da primeira rolda ante o invicto Vitor Jones Freitas (12-1, 1 ND, 6 Kos), de Salvador, Bahía, Brasil, nun combate programado de oito asaltos que abriu a transmisión.
Southpaw Shelestyuk, que entrou no cuadrilátero no posto. 9 na OMB e núm. 13 no WBA, rexeitou a decidida aposta de Herrera para gañar a pesar de conseguir un punto por exceso de retención na quinta volta..
"Foi unha loita dura,'' Shelestyuk. "É un loitador duro, é lento pero traballou ben. Na primeira rolda, Fíxenme ben pero as pernas foron sobre min. Creo que foi porque non durmín ben.
“Despois de cinco voltas comecei a buscar o meu ritmo. Comecei a boxealo. Cometín algúns erros, como tirar cara atrás. Esta loita farame mellor. Como dixen, era duro pero nada especial. Cando as miñas pernas foron, Comecei a traballar dentro. Gañeino ben na última volta e se o houbo 30 segundos máis, Eu podería telo parado.
"Estou desexando ser máis activo 2017. Vou tomar dúas ou tres semanas de descanso e estar de volta no ximnasio".
"A Verdade" doe e Herrera tivo máis que a súa porción xusta de momentos nunha axitada loita. Herrera, un profesional desde decembro 2009, pensou que era unha proba lexítima para Shelestyuk e foi. Pero Taras era máis activo (aterraxe 169 de 689 socos, en comparación co de Herrera 130 de 460). Cada un conectado 28 por cento do tempo.
Herrera, que derrotara a perspectivas invictas en catro das nove loitas anteriores, non estaba contento co veredicto. "Foi unha boa loita. Non hai moito que eu poida dicir. Pensei que estaba máis preto do que indicaban as puntuacións. Paseino ben alí dentro e doulle crédito. El era todo o que esperaba. É un loitador intelixente".
"Viviría para ser un maniquí de proba para todos estes novos prospectos. Pensei que podía ser un empate, pero a xente que o viu na televisión pode opinar’’.
Facendo o seu segundo ShoBox comezo, Bejenaru triunfou polos tantos de 97-91 nas tarxetas de puntuación dos tres xuíces. O zurdo baixou dunha limpa, O contador deixou o gancho no queixo no quinto e foi o peor dos golpes de cabeza involuntarios, pero pareceu superar e loitar contra un Bujaj reticente na maior parte do camiño..
Un cruceiro curto cun torpe, estilo herky-jerky Bejenaru insistiu no tema durante todo o tempo e foi moito máis activo, botando máis que 100 máis golpes que Bujaj (454-336) e media 45 golpes lanzados por rolda en comparación con 38 para Bujaj.
"É un loitador sucio,'', dixo Bejenaru despois dun partido no que sufriu un mal corte no ollo esquerdo e unha gran roncha na cabeza.. "Vostede mira todas as súas loitas, o único que fai é levar coa cabeza. A min afectáronme as súas cabezas pero non había forma de que me ía parar. Queixa moito, pero o único que fixo foi falta. Pareceume que me mordeu na orella esquerda despois de que... así loita.
"O deporte é o boxeo, non nada e bate os seus puñetazos coma un nadador, un loitador de rúa, non é un loitador profesional. Colleume cun tiro limpo no derrubamento pero levanteime ben e non me lastimou.
"Esta vitoria é un gran paso na miña carreira. Axudarame a seguir subindo na clasificación no meu camiño cara ao título".
बुजाज, que estaba a facer o seu debut ShoBox, quedou lívido despois.
"Inferno, si, estou tolo,"Dixo. "O marcador foi malo. Sabía no que me estaba metendo loitando no seu curro, pero definitivamente pensei que gañaba. Derrubeino. Nunca me fixo dano".
O agresivo Méndez saíu pacientemente e permitiu que Freitas lanzara a maioría dos primeiros golpes.. O primeiro golpe significativo da pelexa de Méndez foi un gancho paralizante da esquerda no corpo que deixou a Freitas abaixo e retorcíase de dor..
"Sorprendeume que non tomase ben ese tiro ao corpo, dixo Méndez, é quen é adestrado por Joel Díaz. "Sabía que o ferín, pero pensei que se levantaría. Vin que non se cubría moi ben, así que sabía que finalmente ía aterrar un.”
"Estaba sorprendentemente nervioso ao entrar nesta loita. Eu era algo tímido para comezar. Normalmente saio máis forte, pero non importaba porque conseguimos o resultado que queriamos.”
"Estou entusiasmado pola vitoria por eliminatoria. Sei que non durou moito, pero espero que a audiencia televisiva disfrutou.”
Freitas controlou a maior parte da rolda co seu movemento e golpes máis agudos, senón un gancho salvaxe ao corpo — a súa terceira conexión co corpo — deixou ao brasileiro na lona moito despois do 10 contar.
“Desordei,", dixo un Jones Freitas choroso. "Pausei no momento equivocado e pegoume co golpe correcto. Isto non significa nada para min. Vou seguir traballando e adestrando moito. Quero un desquite.”

Citas Finais:
TARAS SHELESTYUK
"Herrera é un bo loitador, un duro loitador. Sei que derrotou a algúns bos loitadores como Mike Jones, que era un loitador superior que levaba un par de anos de baixa. Pero eu estou 100 por cento listo. Espero unha loita moi dura e emocionante, pero espero ser moito máis forte e intelixente.
"Estou emocionado por toda a atención que estou recibindo nesta loita. Sempre souben que os fans en América me coñecían pero quizais agora máis que antes. Creo que no próximo ano, Podo facerme aínda máis coñecido.
"Estivo traballando na forza e facendo máis poderoso. Creo que as miñas habilidades no boxeo xa son boas, pero a miña velocidade e potencia son mellores que antes. Sinto no sparring que estou golpeando máis forte.
“Gústame traballar o corpo. Gústame o feito de que desembarques cedo deles, pasan factura tarde. Iso é algo bo de loitar como profesional. Síntome ben coa miña carreira; Espero estar loitando contra algúns dos mellores loitadores da división dentro dun ano.
"Estou seguro de que Herrera probablemente intentará vir contra min; non hai posibilidades de que me gañe no boxeo. Gústanme os rapaces que se achegan. Son bos para min porque podo contrarrestar e moverme de lado a outro. E estou preparado para loitar por dentro se é necesario.
"Sei que podo mellorar o meu último ShoBox loita. Fíxeno máis preto do que debería estar. Se o volvemos a ter de novo creo que quizais o deteo só polo que estivemos traballando no ximnasio.
"Combate con Shane Mosley foi enorme para min. É un gran loitador. Cando era máis novo, Observaría as súas loitas. Agora imos espallar. É maior pero segue moi ben. Coñece todos os trucos e dáme moitos consellos que me axudan a entrar e saír do ring. Todo o que me dixo, Tentei presentarme".
JIMMY HERRERA:
"Levo dous meses traballando para esta loita, así que estou preparado. Esta vai ser unha proba moi boa para os dous, unha gran loita. É un bo boxeador europeo, outro invicto para min. Pero non sinto que estou entrando como un desfavorecido. Ten as súas forzas, Teño as miñas forzas.
"Ten que haber un propósito para cada golpe. Cada un ten que contar. Se se abre e comete un erro, Teño que aproveitar. Necesito sacalo do seu ritmo cedo, forzalo a saír da súa zona de confort e facelo loitar contra a miña loita.
"Eu serei o agresor. Pero encantaríame que fose o agresor. Só penso, aínda, coñecéndoo, vai tentar boxear e gañar as roldas así. Traballei todo o tempo para adiante e iso é o que farei mañá.
"Un neno de Chicago, coma min, é difícil chegar a calquera parte do boxeo sen conexións, así que finalmente despois de loitar tanto tempo sen un xestor, Asinei con Cameron Dunkin. Sempre souben que podía ser un bo boxeador, pero nunca pensei que sería un boxeador. Pero mírame saber, Estou loitando en SHOWTIME e esta loita non podería chegar nun momento mellor".
CONSTANTIN BEJENARU:
"Creo que a túa carreira de afeccionado dáche unha boa base, coma un principiante, pero unha vez que te convertes en profesional é un xogo totalmente diferente. Non importa quen teña máis experiencia como afeccionado. Como profesionais, aquí todos temos que facer o noso traballo.
"Non coñezo a Bujaj, pero vin a súa pelexa con Junior Wright así que sei que é duro.
"Sinto que este é un gran paso para min. El é 16-0, un bo loitador que pode golpear ou boxear, e isto é para un cinto. Esta é unha boa loita para os dous.
"Traballo duro para cada loita e esta non foi unha excepción. Sabemos que temos que prestar atención aos detalles. Este é un tipo perigoso pero estou moi seguro.
"Definitivamente non espero unha loita fácil. Teño que presionar a acción. Necesito facelo tan incómodo como poida.
"Non teño moitos nocauts profesionais, pero o boxeo non é só poder. O boxeo é intelixencia e mental; non é só unha loita na rúa para min.
"Esta é a miña segunda loita ShoBox. Estou moi feliz de volver despois da última vitoria sobre Zubov. O obxectivo é manterse ocupado, Volve a principios do ano que vén e nalgún momento para o ano que vén prepárate para loitar por algún título importante".
STEVE BUJAJ:
"Estou ansioso por esta loita, o meu primeiro na rede de televisión, para ver onde estou. Como me sinto, Teño todo para gañar, todo para perder. Isto ou me leva ao seguinte nivel, ou quedo onde estou.
"Estou preparado para calquera tipo de loita. Son un loitador versátil e terei vantaxe de altura.
"Agora síntome preparado para as pelexas máis grandes, a exposición adicional en SHOWTIME, as valoracións, os títulos, todo. Pero definitivamente estarei aínda máis despois Venres.
"Non sinto que isto vaia 10 rounds. Sinto que o romperei e que finalmente o deterei. Sinto que teño as habilidades e definitivamente o corazón. Estou saudable e listo para ir.
"Vin a súa última loita ShoBox, e pensou que era bastante decente. É bastante baixo para un peso cruceiro. Aínda que os dous somos de Nova York, Nunca oín falar del.
"O campamento foi incrible con moitos combates. En Las Vegas. Adestrei con loitadores de Mayweather como Ronald Gavril, Badou Jack e Caleb Plant. Hai catro anos que loitei contra un zurdo pero non o considero un factor”.
VITOR JONES FREITAS:
“Agradezo a Deus e aos meus dous tíos por axudarme a chegar onde estou, por ensinarme e por guiarme en cada paso da miña vida e no boxeo. Sen a súa influencia e o que fixeron por min dende que fun 11, Sinto que hoxe estaría morto.
"Estou moi entusiasmado con esta loita e a oportunidade de loitar contra mellores mozos. Isto para min é todo sobre aproveitar a oportunidade.
"Cada vez teño máis experiencia. O meu obxectivo é traballar duro e, como o meu tío Acelino, fai boas loitas e convértete nun campión do mundo"
"Estudamos o estilo de loita de Méndez e temos moito respecto polo seu adestrador, Joel Díaz. Sei que Méndez é moi forte e sae adiante. Non sei se lle gusta cando os seus opoñentes atacan desde os lados pero estou preparado para loitar contra el polos lados., de cabeza e de pé a pé”.
MANUEL MENDEZ:
"Esta é a miña novena loita con Joel e coñecémonos moi ben. A través do malo e do bo, estivo alí para min.
"Estou seguro de que Freitas confía na súa habilidade, pero como calquera outro loitador invicto fai ben ata que bate contra o muro., que é o que Xoel quere que lle faga facer. Quere que o castigue, tómame o meu tempo.
"Sinto que teño un poder natural, pode levar un golpe e ter corazón. Golpeame canto queiras, pero ollo unha vez que conecto e cambie as cousas. O meu obxectivo sempre é rompelos, comezando polo corpo.
"É posible que non teña o pedigree dalgúns destes mozos, pero estou aprendendo a defensa, como me paso, mantendo equilibrado e o máis importante, só como loitar. Canta máis experiencia, canto máis maduro te fagas.
"Mañá Só quero ser eu e escoitar a Xoel na esquina. Non querería estar parado de min. Se quere poñerse de pé e petar, fagámolo. Garántome que el é o que volverá despois dos primeiros momentos".
