Fight Week Quotes from Atlanta "Night of Champions" PhilBoxing.com Thu, 01 Dec 2022  Thonson twins Trevor and Chann. Undefeated Trevor Thonson, Chann’s Twin, and Boxers from Mexico, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Argentina Featured on the Card Atlanta, GA, November 30, 2022. -- Lightweight Chann Thonson, ranked No. 13 by the World Boxing Association (WBA), lays his undefeated record on the line in a ten-round bout in the December 2 main event of a nine-bout fight card. The event will take place at the Georgia International Convention Center. “Night of Champions” will be presented by Boswell Promotions in association with Tuto Zabala/All Star Boxing Inc. Individual tickets are priced at $50, $75, and $100 and VIP ringside tables are also available. Tickets can be purchased by clicking Freshtix or Boswell Promotions. Friday, December 2, FIGHT NIGHT, Doors Open 6 pm, First Bout: 7 pm CHANN THONSON “I am feeling great and very confident. I just finished my second Las Vegas training camp where everything is very intense and prepared me well for this fight. Sparring got aggressive and a little heated at times, like a doghouse which is different than the guy I am fighting on Friday – he is a little flatfooted and not as aggressive. Having all of that intensity coming my way has made me really sharp and stay on my toes. I have always been a boxer first but in this camp we utilized a lot of walking guys down so it made my power blossom and I plan to show that along with the boxing skills. “The first time I sparred with those guys it felt like holding jackhammer for the first time and being like ‘oh, snap.’ It was a little overwhelming. The second time sparring I went in with a different attitude and was able to embrace the jackhammer and hang with the guys using mental toughness. It showed me what it was like to be a champion. It was an amazing experience. “I don’t fight for the knockout. I am not going to go in there swinging, but this fight I want to knock him out. That’s what I am going to get, the KO, behind my boxing of course. I have nine knockouts, and knocked out an undefeated fighter two fights ago, which was impressive to me, but I never utilized my power as I have in this camp. It’s going to be very interesting to me – if it goes past three, I will be surprised, but not a good surprised.” ESNEIKER CORREA, Los Teques, Venezuela, 15-2-1, 13 KO’s “Cuevas he is a fighter and I cannot underestimate him. I know he is coming to fight and if he comes to fight hard, he is going to get knocked out. If he just wants to box, I win by decision. I come from the streets of Venezuela and had nothing. This is a life changer fight for me. A win for me will change everything. It will take me to the next level financially then I can take care of my family.” DERRIECK “Pretty Boy” CUEAVAS, Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, 23-1-1, 15 KO’s “I don’t know much about my opponent, but I know he’s a tough fighter and he comes to fight and I’ll be ready for whatever he brings. I have not fought for a while – it’s been two years and I want to make the most of this opportunity. I had been soft training for two years then going hard and more disciplined the last five months training and sparing with Olympians and top guys. On Friday you will see a KO from Cuevas because I am excited, and I am ready, and it will be over in two or three. After the KO I want the big names and big fights.” TREVOR THONSON, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 6-0, 6 KOs Trevor is originally from Quebec. He fell behind his brother career wise due to the birth of his child. When she became two and a half, he returned to boxing and ramped it up. “I won a few tournaments in Quebec, and since I am of Jamaican descent, I got my citizenship and went there to train for the national team. I won the nationals there then waited two years for the pandemic to die down for the Olympics to happen. It didn’t die down so I went to Miami to train with my brother. Now I am 6-0 coming off a beautiful win with my best knockout to date. “Now I train at Split T in Las Vegas, been out there for 5 months getting the work in. Vegas is one of the highest level of training camps because many world champions and highly ranked fighters are there. “My opponent is a southpaw so I just have to be a little bit smarter and adjust and I think we can get him out of there in 4 or 5. I’ll be looking to hit him with a straight right or a left hook but my best punch is the overhand right – right over the top down the middle. Once the distance is there, it will land and it will be over.” THE FIGHT CARD 10 Rounds Lightweights Chann Thonson, WBA # 13, Brossard, Quebec, Canada, 12-0, 9 KOs Aelio Mesquita, Sao Paulo, Brazil, 21-8-1, 19 KOs 10 Rounds WBO Latino Jr. Flyweight Title Gerardo “El Cascabel” Zapata, Masaya, Nicaragua, 12-0, 9 KOs Aelio Mesquita, Sao Paulo, Brazil, 21-8-1, 19 KOs 8 Rounds Welterweights Derrieck “Pretty Boy” Cuevas, Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, 23-1-1, 15 KO’s Esneiker Correa, Los Teques, Venezuela, 15-2-1, 13 KO’s 8 Rounds Lightweights Trevor Thonson, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 6-0, 6 KOs Sebastian Chavez, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 5-5, 2 KOs 8 Rounds Bantamweights Oswaldo “Gitano” Garcia, Cancun,Mexico, 15-0-1, 11 KOs Jose Soto, Canalete, Colombia, 15-2, 6 KOs 8 Rounds Featherweights Justin Goodson, Atlanta, GA, 6-0, 6 KOs Weusi Johnson, Wilmington, Delaware, 3-24-1 6 Rounds Welterweights Roddricus Livsey, Atlanta, GA, 11-1-1, 8 KOs Jorge Munguia, Tegucigalpa, Honduras 6 Rounds Light Heavyweights Darrin Austin, Atlanta, GA, 8-0, 7 KOs 4 Rounds Welterweights Jahmeer Edwards, Atlanta, GA, 1-0, 1 KO Christopher Puryear, Jacksonville, FL, 1-0  |
