Undercard shaping up for this Fridays Boxcino Finals

[philly]

ORANGE, Calif. (May 19, 2015) - ESPN's "Friday Night Fights" final broadcast features two outstanding fights in the heavyweight and junior middleweight divisions that will decide the 2015 Boxcino Champions.


The 10-round junior middleweight final showcases Boxcino tournament veteran Brandon Adams (16-1, 12 KOs) of Los Angeles against the smooth boxing skills of John Thompson (16-1, 5 KOs) of Newark, New Jersey. The finalists will compete for the Boxcino crown on Friday, May 22, from the Omega Products Outdoor Arena in Corona, Calif. Also on the line - the NABA Interim Super Welterweight title, and the WBO Intercontinental junior middleweight belt.


Tickets for the Boxcino Finals are priced at $50, $70, & $100, and are available for purchase online at ThompsonBoxing.com or by calling 714-935-0900.


The double main event features heavyweight talents Donovan Dennis (14-2, 11 KOs) of Davenport, Iowa and Andrey Fedosov (27-3, 22 KOs) of Russia in a 10-round fight to determine the 2015 Boxcino Heavyweight Champion. Dennis-Fedosov will also fight for the WBA Fedelatin and WBO Intercontinental heavyweight titles.


The Boxcino Tournament is Promoted by Banner Promotions and televised on ESPN's "Friday Night Fights" (ESPN2 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT). The show on Friday is co-promoted through Thompson Boxing Promotions and Banner Promotions.


The undercard features crafty super bantamweight Isaac Zarate (10-1-1,1 KO) of Los Angeles against Fernando Fuentes (5-4-1, 1 KO) of Hemet, Calif. Outside of the two televised bouts, the 8-round fight between Zarate and Martinez is among the most eagerly anticipated fights of the night.


"Zarate is one of the most exciting, young boxers in the 122 lb. division," said Ken Thompson, president of Thompson Boxing. "He won't blow you away with power, but his hand speed and work rate are definitely worth the cost of admission."


"I'm looking forward to a great night of boxing," said Artie Pelullo, president of Banner Promotions. "It's a great card all around, and the Boxcino finals will be fan friendly fights where two new world title contenders will emerge."


Zarate, a southpaw, makes life difficult for opponents by using an unlimited energy supply to launch punches from all sorts of angles. He's elusive in that he darts in and out of danger spots, which makes landing combinations on him a difficult matter.


"I try not to stay in the same spot for too long," said the 23-year-old Zarate. "By moving and changing the pace, my opponents typically can't time my movements."


In other action, Colombian lightweight Andres Figueroa (5-0, 3 KOs) faces fellow prospect Angel Martinez (5-1-1, 1 KO) of San Antonio, Tex. in a 6-round fight.

Humberto Rubalcava (1-0, 1 KO), a Riverside native who turned professional in April, faces super bantamweight Richard Tallmadge, who will be making his pro debut (4-rounds).


A pair of young welterweights in Eridani Leon (2-1) of Mexico and Isaac Freeman (1-1, 1 KO) of Los Angeles square off in a 4-round bout.


Also, Canadian junior middleweight prospect Cody Crowley (3-0, 2 KOs) will fight an opponent to be named later (4-rounds).

Opening the event is undefeated super bantamweight Adam Lopez (11-0, 6 KOs) of San Antonio going up against the veteran Miguel Tamayo (16-12-2, 14 KOs) of Mexico (6-rounds).

The Omega Products Outdoor Arena is located at 1681 California Ave., Corona, CA 92881 and can be reached at 951-737-7447. Doors open at 5:45 p.m. PT. and the first bout begins at 6:15 p.m. PT.

Who do people think will win the finals? Adams seems like a clear favorite to me at 154 but I'm not as confident about the HW match. Fedosov looked quite limited at points in his last bout and I can see him being outboxed, but he's also shown good power and I have doubts about whether the more-skilled but seemingly fragile Dennis (multiple stoppage losses) will hold up. I lean Fedosov but I wouldn't be surprised if Dennis ends up winning, and I'm excited for the bout.

[handsofstone]

Im going for Adams to beat Thompson widely on points, Brandon has been looking good so far down at LMW


,Fedosov didn't look great last time out and had to get off the floor to beat a fighter he really should've really beat with ease but he still got the job done, Dennis's KO of Cojuna was brutal but I'm just keep thinking about Heaven sparking him in a round before Boxcino,I'll say Fedosov KO 5

2 obvious corrections.

Dennis has lost twice? Really? Who was the other guy that beat him besides Nat Heaven? I can't find him.

Isaac Zarate is "Most exciting," with 1 KO in over 12 fights. Another "really?" Doesn't say much for the other guys in the totally unnecessary weight division.

This is riddled with MISTAKES.

I checked only two fighter's record's, and they were both WRONG

Dennis has lost twice? Really? Who was the other guy that beat him besides Nat Heaven? I can't find him.

Isaac Zarate is "Most exciting," with 1 KO in over 12 fights. Another "really?" Doesn't say much for the other guys in the totally unnecessary weight division.

Dennis was knocked out by Mario Heredia in the World Series of Boxing, which some consider pro competition. Incidentally, Heredia was intially going to participate in the tournament but was eventually replaced by Jason Estrada.

Never heard about that fight.

[Bobbyptsd]

Adams by UD. I think he has the talent to have quite a pro career if moved correctly, considering his lack of experience.

Fedosov by stoppage fairly early. I just see him as more compact and getting to the target better, and Dennis can certainly be gotten to.

[crusader]

Pretty shitty atmosphere for the series finale.

[crusader]

Thompson upsets Adams!

[Boxing Writer]

Is May 22 the day when some guys significantly improve their power (Povetkin, Thompson)? lol

[TheBeast]

10 super welterweight
Brandon Adams 17(12)-1-0

ENJOY!!

[crusader]

Possibly the last FNF bout coming up.....Fedosov vs Dennis

[crusader]

Fedosov wins by stoppage in the eighth as Dennis goes down for the third time!

Andrey is very limited but he's got some heavy hands.

[punchoutsb]

That was a really fun back and forth fight! Good day to be an Eastern Euro boxing fan.

Interested to see where Fedosov goes from here.

[Boxing Writer]

Andrey is very limited but he's got some heavy hands.

Fedosov is surely limited, but I wouldn't call him very limited. I think he is way more skilled than guys like Manuel Charr.

[handsofstone]

Great KO win for Thompson, I didn't see that one coming especially after going down in the 1st albeit softly,e seems like a good guy and its always great to see a late replacement upset the apple cart,although what the ref WaS doing allowing Adams to continue after the 1st KD I don't know,still a massive upset

I thought Fedosov would KO Dennis eventually, Andrey just fights that typical Eastern European bull like style where he just keeps coming forward until he catches you,but I thought Donovan was the better boxer but he just couldn't keep Fedosov off

Friday Night Fights RIP

[TheBeast]

I just added Hls of 3 non-televised undercards from the last FNF card. Some brutal action too
