LAS VEGAS (เมษายน 4, 2018) – Mexican bantamweight โทนี่โลเปซ, จูเนียร์. (13-3, 4 คอส) believes an impressive victory April 20th over his Roy Jones Jr., Boxing Promotions (RJJ) ซอก, unbeaten bantamweight prospect “The Baby-Faced Assassin” Max Ornelas (10-0-1, 4 คอส), will get him back in the mix.
Ornelas vs. โลเปซ, จูเนียร์., presented RJJ Boxing Promotions, will air live on beIN Sports, เริ่มต้นที่ 10 p.m. และ / 7 p.m. PT, from Cox Pavilion on the University of Nevada at Las Vegas campus.
The vacant World Boxing Association (อัลเบียน) สมาคมมวยอเมริกาเหนือ (ด้วย) USA bantamweight title will be on the line in the eight-round main event.
A UNLV sophomore who lives in Las Vegas, the 19-year-old Ornelas is ranked by the World Boxing Association (อัลเบียน) at No. 14 ในโลก. “I’ve had several fights where my role was reversed, and I was fighting in my hometown in front of my fans, friends and family,” Dallas resident Lopez, จูเนียร์. spoke about fighting Ornelas on the road. “I wanted to put on a show and they were screaming like crazy before the opening bell. Once the fight started, แม้, I didn’t see or hear them. It was just me and my opponent. I’ve fought in Las Vegas a few times and I’m comfortable fighting him (Ornelas) ที่นั่น. I understand that this is part of my job, a requirement, regardless of fighting him in his hometown. I like pressure.”
โลเปซ, จูเนียร์. was born in Mexico, but he’s lived nearly his entire life in Texas. พ่อของเขา,โทนี่โลเปซ, Sr., was an ex-fighter from Mexico who got his son into boxing when he was six. ตอนนี้, โลเปซ, จูเนียร์. fights for รอยโจนส์, จูเนียร์.
“It’s surreal,” the rugged southpaw admitted. “I’m fighting for a living legend, arguably one of the greatest boxers of all time. He knows me, he’s seen me fight. It’s an honor to wear his gear, not only as a fan of his, but to represent his company. It’s one of the coolest things in this business.”
Ornelas is also promoted by RJJ Boxing Promotions and they’ve fought together on two RJJ cards. They’re familiar with each other and, if styles truly make great fights, this one could turn out to be an instant classic.
“เขาเป็น (Max) a very clean fighter, by the books, not wanting to get into scrapes,” the 24-year-old Lopez spoke about his opponent. “He strides and moves, not looking to bang or exchange. He likes to fight on the outside, using his size and length. He’s fast but doesn’t have a lot of power. It’s hit and not get hit for him. He has a lot of holes and me being the more experienced fighter, I plan to expose some of those holes.
“Back in May of 2016, I fought and undefeated opponent, Jerren Cochran (11-0-1), and I knew it was an audition for Roy and RJJ. I came out in a full attack mode because I wanted to make a statement. ((Lopes knocked our Cochran in the second round.) I’m looking to make another statement this time around by fighting like I did earlier in my career.
“I’m faster, stronger and have better head movement than him. I’m still young but I have more life experience than him (Ornelas). I’m still young, เท่านั้น 24, but I have more experience than him going into this fight. I’ve fought a former world champion (Rico รามอส). I’m part of a new team and my FHG Gloves teammates are จอห์นเวรา, who just fought for a world title, และ Edwin Vasquez. An impressive victory will put me right back in the mix for a big Saturday night fight for an even bigger title.”
