NEW YORK (April 23, 2015) - Gary Shaw Productions undefeated Jr. Welterweight prospect, Kenneth Sims Jr. (5-0, 2 KOs) will return to the ring this Saturday at the Madison Square Garden Theater on the undercard of Klitschko vs. Jennings. Sims Jr. will face veteran Luis Rodriguez (3-2, 2 KOs) in a 6-round bout.
Kenneth Sims Jr. was a chief sparring partner for Manny Pacquiao, getting him ready for his super fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. He'll look to use that experience against Rodriguez, and impress those in attendance with a great performance.
"I'm coming off a great training camp with Manny Pacquiao, where I gained invaluable experience," said Kenneth Sims Jr. "I learned a lot from one of the greatest fighters of all time. I'm going into this fight with a tremendous amount of confidence. I'm going to be throwing a lot of hard punches with precise accuracy. I want to thank Gary Shaw for giving me another wonderful opportunity to showcase my skills on the big stage. Fighting at Madison Square Garden is a dream come true."
"Kenneth has shown me he wants to take his career to new heights," Gary Shaw said. "The fact the Team Pacquiao wanted him in camp says it all. He's got a lot of God given talent and I'm very happy with his development. I encourage everyone to show up early top get a glimpse of a future star."
