Hanzel “Rude Boy” Martinez (23-2, 19 KO) facce Emmanuel Quartey (20-2, 19 KO) in the 10-round main event for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) International super bantamweight championship.
Nella co-feature 10 round, Lopez, Jr. (11-1, 4 KO) squares off against unbeaten Young (14-0-3, 6 KO) per la vacante WBA North American Boxing Association (Anche) titolo dei pesi gallo.
The 22-year-old Lopez, combattendo da Dallas, is coming off of a jaw-dropping second-round stoppage of Jerren Cochran this past May at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center. The former WBC Youth Intercontinental bantamweight champion is rated No. 7 dalla NABA.
“I remember growing up and watching all the greats as a young kid and thinking that’s going to be me someday,” ha detto Lopez. “Thanks to RJJ, Neon Star and CBS Sports Network that dream is a reality. I’m a small town kid living out my dreams; I’m on the right path and the journey I am on is something big.”
Despite his opponent having an advantage in terms of their comparative amateur backgrounds, Lopez doesn’t feel that will be a factor in their fight, which he predicts will be very exciting.
“Amateurs are a different ball game,” Lopez commented. “It gave us knowledge and experience but at the end of the day, our records are just numbers. I don’t look at the numbers or the fighter, I’m only going to look at the fight because my job is to get in the ring and bring home the win.
“I’m a versatile fighter; if I have to brawl, I brawl but I can adjust to whatever I see fit. It’s going to be an exciting fight because I have everything I need to win. I’m a lot smarter in the ring and I’m coming to get the win.”
NABA rated No. 2 Giovane, 27, is a southpaw with a rich amateur pedigree background having compiled an 86-13 record, including a silver-medal performance at the 2011 National Golden Gloves Championships.
“I don’t really know too much about Lopez,” Young remarked. “I know he’s from Texas and he’s 11-1, which means he already know what it feels like to lose. He’s a decent fighter but nothing I can’t handle. I can fight any style, but one thing for sure and two for certain, whichever style I choose to fight will be a good showing. I’m coming to WIN!”
All three of his draws were fought on the road, including his last fight this past April at Turning Stone Casino in Verona, New York, in which he and 14-0 Nikolay Potapovbattled evenly for 10 round. Tuttavia, Young doesn’t appear to be overly concerned about fighting on the B side against an RJJ opponent.
“I really don’t worry about getting a win by decision,” Young explained. “I just feel like I will have to do a little more just to make it a one-way fight. And if the KO comes, I will love that.”
Las Vegas junior lightweight Randy Moreno (4-0, 2 KO), a2008 World Ringside Championships gold medalist, will make his national television debut in a 4-round bout against an opponent to be announced.
Nella terza lotta per il titolo della notte, imbattuto campione WBA-NABA USA super welter Giovanni “Il fenomeno” Vera (14-0, 9 KO) makes his first title defense againstMilorad “Micko” Zizic (12-1, 6 KO) in un incontro 8-tutto.
