Weights from Sacramento PhilBoxing.com Sun, 02 Jul 2017  ORANGE, Calif./Philadelphia, Penn. (July 1, 2017) - Weights for Saturday night's card at the Omega Products in Sacramento, California Taras Shelestyuk 147.8 lbs - Jesus Alvarez Rodriguez 148 lbs Ruben Villa 126 lbs - Jonathan Alcantara 127 lbs Q & A with Taras Shelestyuk How has training camp gone. Taras :Training camp went very well, it was my first training camp with Joel Diaz, it took a couple weeks to get use to each other, but I felt great since day one with Joel. We did a lot of things I use to do when I was in national team. The things I was missing. I had great sparring sessions out there in Indio with Manuel Mendez, Omar Figueroa and many more. What do you know about your opponent Jesus Alvarez Rodriguez T: To be honest not much... I just know that he is a tough guy, and that he was stopped by my friend Ruslan Provodnikov who was prepared by Joel Diaz, so that's basically it. Joel knows him better, so he knows what I have to do. What does a win do for you. The win means everything to me. It will help me to get a good fight against some one from the top of the division You are ranked high in the WBO, do you feel you are close to a fight with a big name. T: Of course I feel that I'm very close to the top. I'm number 5 right now, so if everything goes well on July 1 I'm ready for anyone up there, I hope that promoters can get a winner of Pacquiao - Horn, and I would love that fight. If not, some one from the top to fight for the mandatory for the winner of Pacquiao - Horn. This fight will be shown on Facebook all over the world, are your family and friends in the Ukraine going to watch the fight? T: I'm sure they will, and I hope that all the Ukrainian and Russian speaking people of Sacramento will came to support me on Omega Products International Arena. Any final thoughts?
