Tyson Conqueror Kevin McBride Returns July 10th on NESportsTV.com PhilBoxing.com Wed, 30 Jun 2010 Kevin McBride vs. Robert Hawkins Nagy Aguilera vs. Roderick Willis Luis Del Valle vs. Pasqual Rose July 10th on NESportsTV.com PPV $12 USD (International Conversion Rates Apply) NESportsTV.com is proud to present an online PPV broadcast featuring the return of former Irish heavyweight champion and 1992 Olympian Kevin McBride (34-6-1, 29 KO?s) taking on Philadelphia veteran Robert Hawkins (23-15, 7 KO?s) , undefeated Puerto Rican prospect Luis Del Valle (9-0, 7 KO?s) taking on Pasqual Rose (20-14, 11 KO?s) and the return of heavyweight upset specialist Nagy Aguilera (15-3, 10 KO?s) taking on tough Texan Roderick Willis (14-6, 8 KO?s). These fights will be available on NESportsTV.com live July 10th as part of an online PPV for $12. McBride, a native of Clones, Ireland, shocked the sports world in 2005 with a stunning 6th round TKO of former undisputed heavyweight champ Mike Tyson. The 6?6?? Irishman parlayed that massive victory into a promotional contract with Don King. However, consecutive losses to tough Mike Mollo and former title challenger Andrew Golota kept him out of the ring for nearly three years. ?I have Irish pride on my side.? McBride said recently, ?I mean business this time. Nobody thought I could beat Tyson and I did. They didn?t believe in me then and they?re going to doubt me now. I beat Tyson under tremendous pressure and feel that I?m capable of beating anybody. I?ve been out of action 2 ? years. I had injuries to my back, ankle and wrist, but I?m healed now and ready to go all out. I was supposed to get a world title shot after I beat Tyson, but I didn?t and that took away my hunger for boxing.? Prior to the Tyson victory, McBride won the vacant Irish heavyweight title in 1997 and represented his homeland in the 1992 Olympics as a super heavyweight. From 2002 ? 2006 he accumulated a nine fight winning streak and has been in the ring with former title challengers Axel Schulz and Davarryl Williamson. His opponent, Robert Hawkins, is no pushover. He has victories over Dominick Guinn, Terry Smith and Robert Wiggins. He?s also fought Samuel Peter, Eddie Chambers, Jason Estrada, Kevin Johnson and Oleg Maskaev twice. In what could be the fight of the night, Puerto Rican Luis Del Valle (9-0, 7 KO?s) will be featured as he takes on the Dominican born Pasqual Rose (20-14-3, 11 KO?s) in a featherweight match-up. Promoted by the influential Lou Dibella, Del Valle is a former national Golden Gloves champion looking to make a name for himself in the pro ranks. ?Luis Del Valle showed how great he can be as an amateur, and is unquestionably one of the top prospects of Puerto Rican descent in the world. I look forward to steering him towards a world title.? His promoter Dibella said upon signing him last July. His opponent, Rose, is a 16 year veteran who has been in the ring with far better professional opposition including Zahir Raheem, Emmanuel Lucero and Monty Meza ? Clay. Dominican heavyweight Nagy Aguilera (15-3, 10 KO?s), like McBride, is no stranger to upsets himself. The last time he appeared on NESportsTV.com he stunningly knocked down former WBC heavyweight champion Oleg Maskaev twice en route to a first round TKO. Aguilera was last in the ring in March losing a heavyweight title elimination bout to former titleholder Samuel Peter. He is promoted by former heavyweight contender and training partner Lou Savarese. Born in the Dominican Republic, he now splits time living in Houston and Newburgh, New York. His opponent, Roderick Willis, one time held former undisputed heavyweight champion Michael Moorer to split decision. He hails from Richardson, Texas.
