FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n
PHILADELPHIA, PENN. \/ ORANGE, Calif.\u00a0(Nov. 12, 2018) –\u00a0\u00a0The fast-rising\u00a0Michael Dutchover<\/strong>\u00a0(11-0, 8 KOs), with four solid wins on the year, aims to close out 2018 with another victory this\u00a0Friday, Nov. 16<\/strong>, from the\u00a0Doubletree Hotel<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0Ontario, CA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Dutchover, who will turn 21 the day before the event, will fight veteran and former world title challenger\u00a0Daulis Prescott<\/strong>\u00a0(31-9, 24 KOs) in the 8-round main event of Thompson Boxing’s\u00a0\u00a0“Locked n’ Loaded<\/strong>”\u00a0season finale.<\/p>\n Dutchover, a junior lightweight fighting out of Midland, Texas, has had a breakout year with his recent display of power punching. His last three wins have come by way of knockout, including a sensational second round,\u00a0one-punch destruction<\/a>\u00a0of Sergio Martinez in July.<\/p>\n Prior to that, the west Texas warrior, who trains in Los Angeles, removed Mike Fowler in three rounds. Two months ago in September, Dutchover stopped Bergman Aguilar in the fifth round.<\/p>\n Dutchover, however, understands the Colombian-born Prescott poses a far more serious challenge than any other foe he has faced this year\u00a0or in his young career.<\/p>\n “This year was all about elevating my level of competition,”\u00a0\u00a0said Dutchover, who is promoted by industry veterans Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing<\/strong>. “Prescott is battle tested and will be ready to fight. I love a challenge, and I’m embracing it.”<\/p>\n Dutchover’s confidence is a direct result of the high-level sparring he receives on a routine basis from the many top-notch gyms in the Los Angeles area.<\/p>\n “I’ve been in with some of the top names in the sport, and they all teach me something different,”\u00a0\u00a0Dutchover said.<\/strong>\u00a0“Danny Roman, Oscar Valdez, and Jessie Magdaleno are a few that come to mind. They are incredible boxers and good people too. I’m fortunate to have met them this early in my career.”<\/p>\n All fights will be live streamed via the Banner Promotions\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0page.<\/p>\n The livestream starts at\u00a08:00 p.m. PT \/ 11:00 p.m. ET\u00a0\u00a0with\u00a0Beto Duran\u00a0\u00a0as the blow-by-blow announcer and\u00a0Josesito Lopez\u00a0\u00a0providing expert, color commentary.<\/p>\n For regular updates<\/strong> on our fighters, events, and promotions, please like the\u00a0Banner Promotions Facebook Page<\/a>,\u00a0and follow us on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0@BannerBoxing.<\/p>\n Photo by<\/strong>: Carlos Baeza \/ Thompson Boxing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PHILADELPHIA, PENN. \/ ORANGE, Calif.\u00a0(Nov. 12, 2018) –\u00a0\u00a0The fast-rising\u00a0Michael Dutchover\u00a0(11-0, 8 KOs), with four solid wins on the year, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":11232,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[254,225,8],"tags":[419],"class_list":["post-11347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-fights","category-news","tag-michael-dutchover"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/banner-promotions.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/banner-promotions.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/banner-promotions.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banner-promotions.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banner-promotions.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11347"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/banner-promotions.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11347\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11348,"href":"https:\/\/banner-promotions.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11347\/revisions\/11348"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banner-promotions.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/banner-promotions.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banner-promotions.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banner-promotions.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
