Douglas, 22, е непобеден (1-0-1) в две ShoBox изяви. He has won two in a row, включително неуравновесени решение шест кръг над Don Mouton в най-новата си старт миналата ноември. 13 2014, and a 10-round majority draw with former world title challenger Мишел Соро (23-1-1 влизам) през юли миналата година в ShoBox. "Дъглас израства малко в последния си двубой от ShoBox, доминираше Соро рано и след това замира късно по време на битка, която би могло да отиде така или иначе,'', Каза ShoBox Expert Analyst и Boxing Историкът Стив Farhood. "Това е вид на бой млад перспектива трябва да научи за себе си и аз нямам търпение да видя дали този опит се оказва играе голяма роля в зрелостта си като боец. He’s a very exciting, агресивен среднотежка и за много млад боец изглежда да се движи много бързо. Солидна аматьор, който стигна до 2011 U.S. Олимпийските Trials, преди да отиде в про октомври. 2012, Дъглас се бори на два пъти тази година, девет пъти 2013 и шест пъти в 2014. Дъглас погледна силно докато Накланяме шутаут в неговата 12тата начало, победната си ShoBox Дебютният и нокаутира един от зъбите на противника в една забавна, но едностранчиво осем всестранно решение пред по-рано без загуба Marquis Davis (8-0-2 влизам) през януари 2014. Douglas, който признава известност той е получил, тъй като се появява на ShoBox, В момента се извършва своята трета насрочена 10-рундов мач. “This is going to be a big fight, a very big fight,'', Каза той. "Аз съм на основното събитие. It is another step up the ladder and I get to take that step on a big network like SHOWTIME. “I know LaManna from the amateurs so this fight came as a bit of a surprise to me. But this is the sport of boxing. I know he’s coming to win and stay undefeated, точно както аз съм. Мисля 160 is my best weight and is one I should stay comfortable at. No more catch-weights hopefully. "ShoBox has shown me love and has been very beneficial to me and my career. I’m definitely getting noticed more. Аз знам, че трябва да получите победа на Март 13 да продължи да се изкачи в класацията. LaManna, 23, е определена млад боец с понякога непредвидим стил. A pro since February 2011, той е бил за хващане на Atlantic City боксови карти, след като се бори има осем пъти. LaManna, който е два и половина сантиметра по-висок, отколкото Douglas, се радваме на възможността и е уверен, че може да се появят разстроен в неговата 10-кръг ShoBox дебют. "Чаках за битка като тази,'', Каза LaManna, които се излиза единодушно шест-рундов мач над Gilbert Sanchez последно Декември. 13. “Without a doubt they made a mistake by picking me. I am so excited for this fight and I am going to make the best of it. I know I am going to come in there 100 процента подготвени и правя това, което трябва да направите, за да получите победата. “I know Antoine from the amateurs although we never sparred or boxed. I know he is a good fighter and this will be a good fight. Това е това, което трябва боксови, two undefeated fighters facing each other and what better place than on ShoBox.'' Барозу, 32, е с мощност пробиване деветгодишно Pro, който направи дебюта си ShoBox, U.S. и 2015 дебют. Добре пътувал Барозу се обърна Pro през август 2005, имаше две равенства в първите си шест борби, но спечели 12 прав, тъй като, 11 by way of knockout. In his most recent outing last Декември. 5, разрушителното Барозу унищожени Максимилиано Galindo, отбеляза четири нокдауна — една в първо и второ и две в трети — на път към трето-нокаут. Kinda, 27, който е роден в Уагадугу (произнесена уа-GA-DOO-слуз), Буркина Фасо, отбелязва 14-ия си старт в Ню Йорк. Малко обърна Pro през януари 2009 и спечели своята първоначална 16 битки, включително държавната 140-килограмова титлата на New York. Той идва на разстояние втория рунд с TKO над Кевин Картър последно Jan. 17 в Тенеси. "Стилът ми е преместване, пробиване и нападат хора,"Каза Kinda, талантлив аматьор, който беше 2007 Африкански Championships сребърен медалист 132 паунда. "Искам направя всичко възможно, за да бъде известен като добър борец в САЩ, и по целия свят. This is my first shot to prove myself on a big stage and I’m not going to let it slip away. “His power doesn’t scare me. I’ll be ready.” Съзтезанието Одъм-Ернандес има "зъб" писмено всички над него. “There’s obviously some intrigue in the rematch because of the way the first fight ended,'', Каза Farhood. "Одъм се оказа в един си ShoBoxвъншен вид, за да бъде много вълнуващо, голяма пробиване перспектива и аз не мога да чакам да го видя отново. Одъм, 21, топ аматьорски и 2012 Национален Златни ръкавици шампион в 178 паунда, имаше 12 поредни победи в края на януари. 9, 2015, когато той е бил дисквалифициран в четвъртия кръг за продължаване на удар и сухопътни изстрела, след като той бе спаднал Ернандес с вихрушка от удари. Публиката бурно, но Ернандес беше ясно определяне на. “This time it will be a totally different fight,'' Одъм настоя. "Ще оставя никакво съмнение,. I was on my way to winning easily and he was out to try and give me my first loss anyway he could. So he just quit. Очаквам с нетърпение да Март 13 да отмъсти за тази загуба и да получите печалбата, че трябва да има за последен път сме се борили. В своята ShoBox дебют, Одъм преодоля първия кройката на кариерата си да се регистрират два нокдауна-в четвъртата и седмата кръга-на път за избиване преди непобеден Vilier Кинонес (8-0 влизам) в седмия кръг на юли 25, 2014. Ернандес, 29, подиграва с идеята, че той напусна и признава, че докато Одъм е талантлив, това е неговия опонент, който беше един търси изход. "За мен е смешно, че той казва, че се отказах,'', Каза Ернандес. "Честно казано, мисля, че причината, поради която той се дисквалифицира е така, защото той търсеше изход. All his talk has me absolutely looking forward to this fight. I don’t want just a victory, Искам нокаут и аз ще го получи. Той може да каже какво иска, но аз ви гарантирам. Отивам да го спре. "Одъм е наистина талантлив и много силен, Няма съмнение за това, но това може да върви срещу него и аз ще го накара да плати. He throws very wide punches and is not a very good boxer. He’s obviously talented and has a lot of knockouts but if you have boxing skills and can take a punch, можете да почти го разглобим. "Чувствах, че е за разтоварване, което исках в първата битка и чувствам, че би го спрял. I thought I was doing fine the first three rounds. And now I know what I’m up against. Той може да каже какво иска, но той беше този, който главата челно ме няколко пъти. One finally cut me right on my ear and it cost me seven stitches.’’ Lopez, 24, и Cruz, 28, ще направят своите ShoBox и осем кръгли дебюти и ще се борят за първи път извън Texas. It is unquestionably the most dangerous fight to date for both prospects. Високопоставен аматьор преди да отиде про през февруари 2012, Лопес вкара два нокаута в един ред, включително пето кръг TKO над Леонардо Торес в най-новата си скрап последния Август. 30. Cross също бил завършен аматьор. Due to his dual citizenship –his father hails from El Salvador – Cruz competed for El Salvador in the amateurs, Беше 2011 Salvador National Amateur шампион и да го направи да Олимпийските Trials Ел Салвадор. Cruz has fought three times since last September. In his last outing he won a six-round unanimous decision over Manuel Rubalcava на Jan. 22, 2015. В бойци са уверени на вземане на следващата стъпка в кариерата им успешна, и двамата очакваме страхотна битка. “It’s going to be a really good fight,'', Каза Лопес, агресивна борба с перфоратор, който е обучен от бившия двукратен световен шампион Карлос "Famoso" Hernandez. “We’re familiar with each other. We sparred once. I’m not going in totally blind. I expect a competitive fight. We are both undefeated and from Texas.’’ "Мисля, че това ще е супер битка. Lopez is a great fighter. Чувал съм хубави неща за него,", Каза Крус. "Това ще бъде огромно предизвикателство за мен. Това ще бъде голямо шоу. I am going to work and do my thing. I’m ready and excited to walk out of that ring undefeated.’’ Авансово билети за събитието, насърчавани от GH3 Промоции и Greg Коен Промоции във връзка с Победител Дейвид Шустер предприемат всички Productions, са с цени $150, $125, и $60 за общо признание.

DOUGLAS, BARROSO, ODOM & LOPEZ SCORE KNOCKOUTS IN SHOBOX QUADRUPLEHEADER FROM WESTBURY, N.Y. NIGHT OF KNOCKOUTS Watch The Replay On SHOWTIME EXTEME® Monday, March 16 At 10 p.m. ET/PT Click HERE To Download Photos Credit Rosie Cohe/SHOWTIME® WESTBURY, N.Y. (March. 14, 2015) – Talented unbeaten middleweight Antoine Douglas made an impressive 2015 debut thoroughly outboxing previously unbeaten Thomas LaManna before finishing him by TKO at 2:44 of the sixth-round in the main event of a night of knockouts on ShoBox: The New Generation Friday from The Space at Westbury in Westbury, N.Y. Douglas (17-0-1, 10 KOs), of Washington, D.C., controlled the bout from the opening bell and was the more active and accurate fighter, throwing 127 total punches to LaManna’s 73. LaManna (16-1, 7 KOs), of Millville, N.J., was tough and tried to counter, but wasn’t experienced enough to land anything meaningful against the skilled Washingtonian. Douglas employed a diverse and ferocious attack of uppercuts, hooks and jabs knocking LaManna down twice before scoring the knockout in an exciting win. “I put the work in at the gym and that made it easy. It took me longer than I thought it would, but I got the job done,” said Douglas. “I thought I hurt him early in the fight now and then. I just wanted to keep the ball rolling from here.” “He’s a good fighter, fast and strong. He’s everything I thought he would be. It was a learning experience for me,” said LaManna. “He caught me with a good shot. The first knockdown wasn‘t a knockdown. The last one, I was off balance, but he caught me with a good shot. He was the better man tonight.” “The last time Douglas fought on ShoBox, it was a very unsatisfying fight because he was held to a draw and he faded late. This time, he took control the first 30 seconds of the first round, won every round, and then, just as you thought that the only thing that he needed to do was put an exclamation point on the performance, that’s what he did by scoring three knockdowns in the sixth,” said Boxing Historian and SHOWTIME Analyst Steve Farhood. “Douglas took down a fighter that had never been down before. This was a very impressive performance that reestablished him as a top 160-pound American prospect.” In the co-feature of a thrilling quadrupleheader, unbeaten southpaw Ismael “El Tigre” Barroso (17-0-2, 16 KOs), of El Tigre, Venezuela, scored his 13th consecutive victory earning the NABO Lightweight Title with a TKO over determined Issouf “Volcano” Kinda (17-3, 7 KOs), of Bronx, N.Y. The stoppage happened just three seconds deep in the sixth after Kinda appeared to have problems with his vision. Barroso dominated from the early rounds despite a nasty cut above his right eye in the third and another below his left eye in the fourth, both from accidental heabutts from Kinda. “I fight better when I’m worried. I had to get worried I would lose so I knew I had to fight my best,” said Barroso. “The cuts bothered me a little but I had a job to do. I thank God everything went well once I started to fight the way I fight.” Kinda was rushed to the hospital with a possible orbital fracture. This is the second time he has experienced vision problems in his last three fights. Skilled Jerry “The King’s Son” Odom (13-1, 1 NC, 12 KOs), of Washington D.C., avenged his lone loss with a first-round TKO against formerly unbeaten Andrew “Hurricane” Hernandez (8-1-1, 1 ND, 1 KO) of Phoenix, Ariz., in a super middleweight rematch. Odom delivered his 12th knockout in 13 fights at 2:47 of the first by throwing solid jabs and strong connecting power shots. Hernandez attempted to counterpunch, but he was quickly finished by the talented Odom. “I told you he couldn’t beat me. He caught me at a bad moment in the first fight,” said Odom. “I did it like my idol Roy Jones did it. After I hit him, I saw him smile, so I knew I hurt him. I did to him this time what I was on the way to doing in the first fight.” Although it was clear that Hernandez was hurt, he challenged the referee call. “I don’t know how the referee sleeps at night. He made a huge mistake,” said Hernández. “I was dominating. As soon as he landed a punch, they stopped the fight. I want a third fight. The world saw and will demand a rubber match.” In the opening bout of the telecast, San Antonio’s Adam “Mantequilla” Lopez (10-0, 5 KOs) kept his record unblemished by delivering a second-round TKO at 1:42 with a strong left hook over fellow countryman Pablo “El Zankudo Letal” Cruz (11-1, 3 KOs) in a battle of Lone Star State super bantamweights. “I hurt my left hand in the first round, but I knocked him out with the same punch a round later. I’m looking forward to fighting on SHOWTIME again,” said Lopez. The event was promoted by GH3 Promotions and Greg Cohen Promotions in association withDavid Schuster’s Winner Take All Productions and sponsored by Foxwoods Resort Casino & Westbury Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge and Ram Dealership & Maxim Group.

The event is sponsored by Foxwoods Resort Casino & Westbury Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge and Ram Dealership & Maxim Group. Here’s what the fighters had to say before Thursday’s weigh-in: Antoine Douglas: “The key is that I learn from my past experiences. Everything is a lesson. It’s only considered a loss if you don’t learn from it. “I’m a disciplined fighter so once I enter the ring, the switch is on. That’s my comfort zone. “If you look at my story, you see I’ve been through adversity all my life. Being in the ring is just another step for something I’m fighting for. I have people to fight for, burdens to get off my shoulder, my life is a fight. Once I step in the ring, it’s go time, I handle all my business there. “I know what I worked on and what I prepared myself to do, so I don’t go in the ring expecting anything. If you go in expecting something, you may end up on the other side of that expectation, so I just do what I came to do, fight hard and win. If you go in expecting things, you’re going on a one-way path. “Any man you get in the ring with, no matter how big or small, has the capability to do damage. I take on every fight with the same intensity and thought process; I can’t worry about anything else.” Thomas LaManna: “People try to underestimate me based on my appearance but once they get hit, it’s another story. I know Douglas is taking me seriously since he knows me from the amateurs. It’s in his best interest to take me seriously. “I know I’m good at what I do, and that’s boxing. During my first fights, if I got hit, everything went out the window and I was ready to rumble. My new trainer helped me control my mental strength while really using my reach, but the key is to stick to the game plan. “This opportunity to fight on SHOWTIME was too good to pass up. I want everyone to see that I’m the real deal. The press has said a lot of positive things about me and I want to live up to that. The risk and reward factor about this fight is getting out and being seen. I know what I can do but not everyone has seen it yet. “I love the fact you have two 23-year-old young undefeated fighters getting in the ring. As a boxing fan, I think that makes for a great fight. I’m fortunate to be a part of a card with two legit young fighters. We’re both where we’re at for a reason. “I believe in my shots and power. Any shot I throw, I believe in it. My skills, talent and hard work are what brought me here.” Ismael Barroso: “I want the U.S. fans to think of me as a great fighter who comes to go to war. I come to knock people out. “In Cuba in 2001, I sparred someone on the Cuban National Team and laid him out cold.. As I kept training, I developed more power. I’m in great shape. I trained for four months for this fight and I’m ready. I could go 12 rounds if I had to. “He [Kinda] is just another fighter. This fight is mine. I will knock him out or get a decision. We took this guy because nobody wants to fight him. He [Kinda] has never been knocked out, but look at who he has fought.” Issouf Kinda “I have never been knocked down. I have never been hurt. And I don’t think that’s going to change now. “This guy has never fought anybody like me. He thinks he can knock everybody out, but I’m not just another guy. I’m tougher than everybody he has ever fought. He’s not going to knock me down. “I know how to fight a southpaw. I’m experienced. I can box. He better be ready. “I’m going to show him he is fighting a man. If he punches me, I’m going to punch him back.” Jerry Odom: “I don’t think he wants to fight me. He’s just doing it because he has to. I’m not going to say I regret what I did to Hernandez in our first fight because I was just trying to get the win, so I went for the kill. “Before I even saw fighting on TV or even started boxing, I knew how to fight. Where I come from, I was used to adversity so my instinct was to fight no matter what. “When I changed trainers, it was for the better. We had a mutual understanding so there were no hard feelings. Instead of going to train in different places, my workouts feel more professional. I get everything I need in one session. I’ve been able to break down my old habits in order to show my real talent.” Andrew Hernandez: “He fought dirty the first time around. He hit me with a blow and I took a knee and while I was down, he punched me again. “He’s definitely overrated. He’s fought a lot of tomato cans. I’m going to expose him. I’m sharper and better than him in all aspects, no question. “I took the rematch because that’s not the victory I wanted. I wanted a knockout. I’ll get it this time around. I’m going for it with all I have. “I heard some people questioning my punching power. I boxed Odom with an injured hand and I outboxed him. I’m healthy and in great shape now. I’m going to knock him out. You better be watching.” Adam Lopez: “Cruz is my countryman. I’ve seen him fight. I even sparred with him a while back and I can say with certainty that I outboxed him. “This is the first time I’m going eight rounds, but I’m not concerned about it. I trained very well. I’m in the best shape I have ever been. “Fighting on this card is a great opportunity for me. I’ve been under the radar most of my career, but now I have the opportunity to be on SHOWTIME, national television. I feel so blessed.” Pablo Cruz “It took me over nine years to get here. I worked hard, really hard and I’m not going to let this opportunity slip away. “This is a huge fight for me, perhaps the biggest one of my career. I will go at him with everything I got. “I’m not taking him lightly. I respect him as a fighter, but I’m hungry. I’m very hungry and I’ll do what it takes to get the job done. Tomorrow is my time and I’ll shine.” Weights from Boxing at The Space at Westbury in New York TV: ShoBox: The New Generation (10 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) Tickets: Priced at $150, $125, and $60 for general admission and available at Ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster locations, thespacewestbury.com, The Space at Westbury Box Office at 516.283.5566 or by calling the GCP Office at 212.851.6425.

Q&A WITH TOP PROSPECT ANTOINE DOUGLAS AS HE PREPARES TO FACE FELLOW UNBEATEN THOMAS LAMANNA THIS FRIDAY ON SHOWTIME® Douglas, who is 1-0-1 in two ShoBox appearances, is looking to prove that he’s earned the moniker “Action” when he faces an opponent who – like himself – has never lost or touched the canvas. More importantly, he’s aiming to continue to erase any doubt about his future as a contender at 160 pounds. Douglas has won two in a row since boxing a hard-fought 10-round majority draw with former world title challengerMichel Soro (23-1-1 going in) last July 25 on ShoBox. Here’s what Douglas had to say as he prepares for a breakout 2015: How would you say your career is going? “My career is going great so far. I am very satisfied with the pace of my career. I’m right where we want to be and in position for a big year.” Neither one of you has been knocked down as a professional. Do you expect that to change on March 13? “I really don’t expect anything going into a fight. I just want to put on a great show and put on a great fight. Give it my all.” You’ve faced the tougher opposition as a pro. How do you stay focused and not look past an opponent? “This is the sport of boxing and one punch can change any fight. Any fighter has the capability of hurting me so I don’t overlook anyone. LaManna is undefeated. He’s never lost, so I can’t look past him. Anything can happen in there.” What do you know about LaManna and what kind of fight do you expect? “I know that he’s tall and has a long reach. I really don’t know what to expect. I know that he tends to lock up to try to stay in a defensive position. I need to take advantage of that by going on the offensive.” After what you’ve overcome as a youngster, do you consider yourself a survivor? Did boxing save you? “I wouldn’t consider myself just a survivor. I would consider myself a fighter. I had a lot to fight for in my youth. Boxing helped me get through my issues. It provided me with instruction and discipline. Around the age of 14 I really took control of my life and became a man. I felt like I needed to treat myself as a man. “When I was in a foster home at 14, my two guardians split up and I was in a position where I needed to make a decision to choose which path to go down. I wouldn’t be in the position I am in today if I didn’t make the decision I made. There weren’t people around me to point me in the right direction, I was on my own. If there were people that were supportive of me, I wasn’t expecting it. I was in the position that I was making the decision solely for myself.” Getting serious here – your mother was in and out of your life growing up. What keeps you so loyal to her after everything that you’ve been through? “I understand the fact that everyone goes through things in their life. It’s easy to tell them what they should do. It takes a lot to put your pride aside to be considerate of what people are going through. Too many people put themselves first over others. I took a step back and realized that everything happens for a reason and look how I turned out today. My mother and I have a great relationship now because I was understanding of her situation and didn’t take anything she did intentionally or think that it was directed towards me.” What did you learn from your last ShoBox fight versus Soro)?. Do you view it as a positive or negative? “I view the fight with Soro as a positive. In that fight I got down in weight, the smallest I have been in a while. I was at 155 instead of my usual weight of 160. Shedding the pounds really had a big impact on the fight and I realized I am a middleweight and feel comfortable at 160.” That the Soro fight was called a majority draw — was that a disappointment for you? How did you learn from that? “It was a great disappointment for me to get a draw, but we know now not to go any smaller than 160. That’s the main thing we learned in that fight. There is such a thing as being too disciplined. People noticed how skinny I was for that fight, but being a disciplined fighter I was determined to make weight. A lot of opponents wouldn’t have taken that fight but it was an opportunity that I wanted to take advantage of. I thought it was a good decision at the time, but I learned a valuable lesson.” You knocked a guy’s tooth out in your first ShoBox fight (Jan. 17, 2014, versus Marquis Davis) and your mom stole the show in your last appearance. What do you have in store for viewers on March 13? “I mean, I’m just planning for a great fight. That’s all I can guarantee. I’m not one for superstitions [Friday The 13th]. I can just guarantee it will be a great fight.” What is your biggest strength? Are you looking for the knockout or do you believe you can go 10 rounds and get the victory that way? “I believe I can bang for 10 rounds, but that all depends on the opponent. Some guys are strong enough who can go the full 10 rounds. I go in and try to inflict the most amount of damage from the opening bell. “My biggest strength is my will and determination. There’s never a moment where I want to give up. Even if I get hurt in the ring, I won’t succumb to the fighter. Those are the thoughts that go through my head.” Jerry Odom is also on this card and you both are from the DC area. You have stated that you two are like roommates. What does it mean to have him on the card with you? “It means a lot for me. We come from similar humble beginnings and for us to be on the same card is historic for us. We both carry the same common goal and we have a lot that we are fighting for. Being able to do this on such a big stage on SHOWTIME and prove all the naysayers wrong means the world to us. It makes it that much more worth it and fulfilling for us, especially if we both get the victory.” Your prediction? “I predict a victory. I have trained and worked very hard for this and am ready to put on a show.” Advance tickets for the event promoted by GH3 Promotions and Greg Cohen Promotions in association with David Schuster’s Winner Take All Productions,are priced at $150, $125, and $60 for general admission.

Two of the fights will feature undefeated boxers against each other. In the main event, Antoine “Action”Douglas (16-0-1, 10 KOs) of Washington, D.C., will meet Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna (16-0, 7 KOs) of Millville, N.J., in a 10-round middleweight scrap. Adam Lopez (9-0, 4 KOs), of San Antonio, and Houston’s Pablo Cruz (11-0, 3 KOs) clash in an eight-round battle of Lone Star State super bantamweights in the opener of the telecast. In the co-feature, unbeaten southpaw Ismael Barroso (16-0-2, 15 KOs), of El Tigre, Venezuela, will shoot for his 13th consecutive victory when he faces Issouf “Volcano” Kinda (17-2, 7 KOs), of Bronx, N.Y., in a 10-round scrap for the NABO Lightweight Title. In the eight-round feature bout, once-beatenJerry “The King’s Son” Odom (12-1, 1 NC, 11 KOs), of Washington D.C., will try and avenge his lone loss when he takes on undefeated Andrew “Hurricane” Hernandez (8-0-1, 1 ND, 1 KO) of Phoenix, Ariz., in a super middleweight rematch. Which of the undefeated boxers will keep their unblemished records intact on Friday The 13th? SinceShoBox premiered in July 2001, 125 fighters – and counting – suffered their initial defeats on the popular series, where promising prizefighters often face their toughest foes to date. Douglas, 22, is unbeaten (1-0-1) in two ShoBox appearances. He has won two in a row, including a lopsided six-round decision over Don Mouton in his most recent start last Nov. 13 2014, and a 10-round majority draw with former world title challenger Michel Soro (23-1-1 going in) last July on ShoBox. “Douglas grew up a little bit in his last fight on ShoBox, dominating Soro early and then fading late in a fight that could have gone either way,’’ said ShoBox Expert Analyst and Boxing Historian Steve Farhood. “It’s the kind of fight a young prospect needs to learn about himself and I’m anxious to see if that experience proves to play a big part in his maturity as a fighter. He’s a very exciting, aggressive middleweight and for a very young fighter seems to be moving very quickly.’’ A solid amateur who made it to the 2011 U.S. Olympic Trials before going pro in Oct. 2012, Douglas fought twice that year, nine times in 2013 and six times in 2014. Douglas looked strong while pitching a shutout in his 12th pro start, winning his ShoBox debut and knocking out one of his opponent’s teeth in an entertaining but one-sided eight-round decision over previously unbeaten Marquis Davis (8-0-2 going in) in January 2014. Douglas, who acknowledges the notoriety he’s received since appearing on ShoBox, is now taking his third scheduled 10-round fight. “This is going to be a big fight, a very big fight,’’ he said. “I am the main event. It is another step up the ladder and I get to take that step on a big network like SHOWTIME. “I know LaManna from the amateurs so this fight came as a bit of a surprise to me. But this is the sport of boxing. I know he’s coming to win and stay undefeated, just like I am. I think 160 is my best weight and is one I should stay comfortable at. No more catch-weights hopefully. “ShoBox has shown me love and has been very beneficial to me and my career. I’m definitely getting noticed more. I know I need to get a win on March 13 to continue to climb the rankings.” LaManna, 23, is a determined young fighter with a sometimes unpredictable style. A pro since February 2011, he has been a fixture on Atlantic City boxing cards, having fought there eight times. LaManna, who is two-and-a half inches taller than Douglas, is looking forward to the opportunity and is confident he can spring an upset in his 10-round ShoBox debut. “I’ve been waiting for a fight like this,’’ said LaManna, who is coming off a unanimous six-round decision over Gilbert Sanchez last Dec. 13. “Without a doubt they made a mistake by picking me. I am so excited for this fight and I am going to make the best of it. I know I am going to come in there 100 percent prepared and do what I have to do to get the victory. “I know Antoine from the amateurs although we never sparred or boxed. I know he is a good fighter and this will be a good fight. This is what boxing needs, two undefeated fighters facing each other and what better place than on ShoBox.’’ Barroso, 32, is a power-punching nine-year pro who’s making his ShoBox, U.S. and 2015 debut. The well-traveled Barroso turned pro in August 2005, had two draws in his first six fights, but has won 12 straight since, 11 by way of knockout. In his most recent outing last Dec. 5, the devastating Barroso destroyed Maximiliano Galindo, scoring four knockdowns — one in the first and second and two in the third — en route to a third-round knockout. Kinda, 27, who was born in Ouagadougou (pronounced wa-ga-DOO-goo), Burkina Faso, is making his 14th start in New York. Kinda turned pro in January 2009 and won his initial 16 fights, including the New York state 140-pound title. He is coming off a second-round TKO over Kevin Carter last Jan. 17 in Tennessee. “My style is moving, punching and attacking people,” said Kinda, an accomplished amateur who was the 2007 African Championships silver medalist at 132 pounds. “I want do my best to be known as a good fighter in the U.S., and around the world. This is my first shot to prove myself on a big stage and I’m not going to let it slip away. “His power doesn’t scare me. I’ll be ready.” The Odom-Hernandez bout has “grudge” written all over it. “There’s obviously some intrigue in the rematch because of the way the first fight ended,’’ Farhood said. “Odom proved in his one ShoBoxappearance to be a very exciting, big punching prospect and I can’t wait to see him again.’’ Odom, 21, a top amateur and 2012 National Golden Gloves Champion at 178 pounds, had a 12-fight win streak end on Jan. 9, 2015, when he was disqualified in the fourth round for continuing to punch and land shots after he’d dropped Hernandez with a flurry of punches. The crowd booed, but Hernandez was clearly down. “This time it will be a totally different fight,’’ Odom insisted. “I will leave no doubt. I was on my way to winning easily and he was out to try and give me my first loss anyway he could. So he just quit. I’m looking forward to March 13 to avenge that loss and get the win that I should have the last time we fought.” In his ShoBox debut, Odom overcame the first cut of his career to register two knockdowns—in the fourth and seventh rounds—en route to knocking out previously undefeated Vilier Quinonez (8-0 going in) in the seventh round on July 25, 2014. Hernandez, 29, scoffs at the notion that he quit and concedes that while Odom is talented, it was his opponent who was the one looking for a way out. “I find it hilarious that he says I quit,’’ Hernandez said. “I honestly think the reason why he got disqualified is because he was looking for a way out. All his talk has me absolutely looking forward to this fight. I don’t want just a victory, I want a knockout and I’m going to get it. He can say what he wants, but I guarantee you. I’m going to stop him. “Odom’s really talented and very strong, no doubt about it, but that may go against him and I’m going to make him pay. He throws very wide punches and is not a very good boxer. He’s obviously talented and has a lot of knockouts but if you have boxing skills and can take a punch, you can pretty much take him apart. “I felt I was landing what I wanted in the first fight and feel I would have stopped him. I thought I was doing fine the first three rounds. And now I know what I’m up against. He can say what he wants, but he was the one who head-butted me several times. One finally cut me right on my ear and it cost me seven stitches.’’ Lopez, 24, and Cruz, 28, will be making their ShoBox and eight-round debuts and will be fighting for the first time outside of Texas. It is unquestionably the most dangerous fight to date for both prospects. A top amateur before going pro in February 2012, Lopez has scored two knockouts in a row, including a fifth-round TKO over Leonardo Torrez in his most recent scrap last Aug. 30. Cruz was also an accomplished amateur. Due to his dual citizenship –his father hails from El Salvador – Cruz competed for El Salvador in the amateurs, was a 2011 Salvador National Amateur Champion and made it to El Salvador’s Olympic Trials. Cruz has fought three times since last September. In his last outing he won a six-round unanimous decision over Manuel Rubalcava on Jan. 22, 2015. The fighters are confident of making the next step in their career a successful one, and both anticipate a terrific battle. “It’s going to be a really good fight,’’ said Lopez, an aggressive counter-puncher who’s trained by former two-time world champion Carlos “Famoso” Hernandez. “We’re familiar with each other.
