Washington, D.C.'s Lamont Roach Jr. has been active fighter since his professional debut in 2014. In 2015, Lamont Jr. nearly doubled his professional experience with four victories against Herbert "Sensational" Quartey, Jose Miguel Castro, Christian Santibanez, and Jose "Flash" Bustos. The 20-year-old super featherweight prospect is a fighter to watch in 2016. A swift and ferocious striker, the undefeated Rashidi "Speedy" Ellis has repeatedly showcased his skills to audiences, most recently with a fourth-round technical knockout victory in Puerto Rico over Victor "Pambele" Gonzalez in March 2015 to claim the vacant WBA Fedecentro and the WBC Interim Latin Welterweight titles. Ellis won his three previous fights via technical knockout, defeating Joseph De los Santos and Joananthony Vazquez in Puerto Rico and Jose Martinez in the Dominican Republic. Later in 2015, Ellis played a key part in the training camp of Golden Boy Promotions fighter and now WBC, RING Magazine and Lineal Middleweight World Champion Canelo Alvarez. The 22-year-old Ellis trained with Canelo Alvarez as a sparring partner in preparation for Alvarez's November 21 super fight against Miguel Cotto. A professional since 2013, D'Mitrius "Big Meech" Ballard has quickly risen the ranks in the light heavyweight division. 2015 was a pivotal year for Maryland's super middleweight for "Big Meech" as he passed every test with flying colors, showing that he could box as well as bang in decision victories over Josue "Chiquilin" Ovando, Juan Carlos "Chiflado" Rojas and Fabiano "Pit Bull" Pena in 2015. Kevin "K-Smoove" Rivers, Jr. of Cheverly, Maryland is eager to get back in the ring after his first career loss. The fighter has been steadily moving up the ranks accumulating wins over other stand-out prospects, Xavier Montelongo and Karl Garcia in 2014. In early 2015, the 25-year-old had impressive technical knockout victories over Stephon McIntyre and Luis "Lichito" Ruiz Lizarraga Jr. Now "K-Smoove" will be looking for victory in his fight of 2016. After winning the first nine fights of his professional career on the east coast, Brooklyn's Zachary "Zungry" Ochoa took his show on the road in 2015 and he continued to show off the skills that have made him a top prospect as he picked up four wins, including a big victory in Puerto Rico and Los Angeles over Moises Rios, David Rodela and Alejandro "Soma" Rodriguez. Now the 23-year-old will look to continue the winning streak when he returns to the east coast for his first fight of 2016. A professional since 2013, standout lightweight Damon Allen, has had victories over tough opposition in Hector Marengo, Tony "Sugar Boy" Walker and Travis "El Animal" Thompson. The 23-year-old Philadelphian stepped through the ropes twice in 2015, stopping Luis "Yeye" Rodriguez in three rounds at home in Philly before making his Los Angeles debut in November with a decision victory over Oscar Santana. Returning to the ring for the first time since November of 2013, Philadelphia light heavyweight Todd Unthank-May is eager to pick up where he left off and build on his impressive unbeaten record. A versatile competitor who can do it all in the ring, the 27-year-old is coming off an impressive second-round technical knockout victory over Kentrell Clairborne in his most recent bout two years ago.

    LUIS ORTIZ VS. TONY THOMPSON & SADAM ALI VS. JESSE VARGAS MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL TRANSCRIPT OSCAR DE LA HOYA, Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy Promotions: Welcome, everyone, to the Luis Ortiz, Tony Thompson and Sadam Ali and Jessie Vargas media conference call. These will be two exciting matchups taking place on March 5th at the DC Armory in Washington D.C. Fresh from a stunning knockout of Bryant Jennings and obviously eager to continue his quest to be the best heavyweight in the sport, WBA heavyweight world champion, Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz will make his first title defense of 2016 when he faces former world title challenger Tony “The Tiger” Thompson who is 40-6 with 27 knockouts. It will be the main event in the 12-round fight for the WBA interim heavyweight title on March 5th. Ortiz versus Thompson is presented by Golden Boy Promotions, in association with King Kong Boxing and Warriors Boxing Promotions. Opening up the live HBO telecast on March 5th is the co-main event, top contender and 2008 Olympian Sadam “World Kid” Ali with a record of 22-0, 13 knockouts, will face former WBA super lightweight world Jessie Vargas who holds a record of 26-1 with nine knockouts. It’s a highly anticipated co-main event, and that will be for the vacant WBO welterweight world championship title. The Ali-Vargas is a co-feature. I see it as a 50-50 fight. The fans are eager to see who will be victorious. And it’s always a pleasure to be co-promoting this event, this fight, with Top Rank, in association with Top Rank.

    Jermall & Jermell Charlo Plus Willie Monroe Jr. & Tony Harrison Talk Holiday Memories and Traditions Ahead of Respective Primetime Showdowns Just Days Before Christmas BROOKLYN (December 11, 2018) – As the holiday season ramps up with Christmas just around the corner, twin champions Jermall and Jermell Charlo, plus Willie Monroe Jr. and Tony Harrison discussed their favorite holiday memories and traditions while preparing for their respective showdowns on Saturday, December 22 in Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes action from Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™. The Charlo twins have intertwined holiday memories from growing up in Houston and not even Christmas could stop the legendary competitiveness of the twins. “My biggest childhood memories from Christmas was that my brother and I would get bikes and then disassemble them to see who could put it back together better,” said Jermell. “We didn’t tighten up the bikes enough so they would fall apart and we would have to walk home. But we really wanted to see who was the better mechanic and who could put together the cooler bike.” “My brother and I were definitely concerned about our toys on Christmas,” said Jermall. “We would have a big dinner with our whole family and it felt like everyone loved buying the twins gifts. It was always competition to see who had the better toys. I love that now I can give my kids that same feeling on Christmas morning.” A native of Rochester, N.Y., Monroe’s family, which includes his pro boxer father who defeated Marvin Hagler, was close knit throughout Monroe’s childhood.

More importantly, the Hall is the institution of record for rewarding meritorious service in the sweet science – the honor-bestower to which inductees keep returning in Canastota, New York every June. It ain’t perfect, but it’s still the place to be. Because fighters’ careers are fluid, shifts can be sudden and settled law is open to smudging at a later date, there are few foregone conclusions among active IBHOF candidates-in-waiting.
