Philadelphia, PA (APRIL 18, 2014)–Two undefeated fighters remain in the Boxcino 2014 Middleweight tournament. Brandon Adams of Los Angeles raised a lot of eyebrows with his 4th round stoppage over Daniel Edouard in the quarterfinals that took place on February 28 in Hammond, Indiana.<\/p>\n
Adams, who is now 13-0 with 9 knockouts takes Raymond Gatica (14-2, 9 KO’s) in the 8-round semifinal bout this tonight at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.<\/p>\n
The bout, along with the 2nd semifinal bout between undefeated Vitalli Kopylenko and Willie Monroe Jr. will be broadcast live on ESPN2, ESPNDeportes+ and WatchESPN beginning at 9 pm ET.<\/p>\n
Adams was very happy with his 1st performance in the national stage with the stoppage win over Edouard.<\/p>\n
“I did what my corner wanted me to do. My camp wanted me to work off the jab. We watched a little bit of tape on him and we wanted to see where he positioned himself,”said Adams.<\/p>\n
With the quick 6-week turnaround, Adams did not much have much time to savior his impressive victory.<\/p>\n
“I train everyday. I have been feeling real good. I am ready for Gatica. He is my first southpaw and I have been getting good work and I am feeling very good.”<\/p>\n
After their respective fights on February 28, Gatica and Adams had a very respectable if not friendly exchange in the middle of the ring.<\/p>\n
“I know how to separate friends. He is not an enemy. We are just in here working and I will do what it takes to win.”<\/p>\n
Adams also has a lot of respect for Gatica the fighter and expects a good show for the fans.<\/p>\n
“I saw his fight with Agbeko. He is a crowd pleaser. He comes forward and likes to throw big shots but that is nothing I am unfamiliar with. The only difference is that he is a southpaw. Come April 18, I will show that I am different. I plan on stopping him.”<\/p>\n
With the 1st fight down, Adams sees that he can be the Boxcino champion.<\/p>\n
“I am satisfied that we took care of the 1st fight. I am not looking past Gatica. This is one fight at a time and I dream of winning. I am going for Brandon Adams. i feel strongly and I look forward to giving the audience at Turning Stone and watching on ESPN what they want to see on April 18,” said Adams. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
