Karim Mayfield - I'm a man on a mission PhilBoxing.com Tue, 23 Oct 2012  October 22, 2012 - San Francisco's undefeated NABO Jr. Welterweight champion, Karim "Hard Hitta" Mayfield (16-0-1, 10 KOs) will defend his title against Southern California's, Mauricio Herrera (18-2, 7 KOs) this Saturday October 27th at the Turning Stone Resort Casino. The 10-round bout will be televised live on HBO BOXING AFTER DARK? beginning at 10:15 p.m. ET/PT as the co-feature to a special tripleheader featuring Thomas Dulorme vs. Carlos Abregu and Miguel Vasquez vs. Marvin Quintero. This past Saturday, Mayfield held a public workout for media members and fans at the Champ Nation Boxing Gym in Oakland Ca. He shared his thoughts on defending his title against Herrera and making his HBO debut. Mayfield Quotes: On making his HBO debut... "I've worked my whole life for the opportunity to be fighting on HBO. This is my time to shine and I'm really excited to bring an action packed fight to all those in attendance at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino and the millions watching on TV. I'm a man on a mission to show the world I'm the best Jr. Welterweight in the world." On fighting Herrera... "Herrera is a battle tested fighter who always brings an exciting fight to the table because he's a come forward type guy. That makes for an explosive matchup between us because I throw hard punched from different angles and someone is sure to get knocked out. I think my fight with Herrera will steal the show. Both of us have never been knocked out so this makes for an intriguing bout. If I get him hurt, I definitely will be going for the KO." On defending his NABO title... "After defeating Patrick Lopez to win the NABO title, I defended it once against Raymond Serrano where I had an incredible knockout on ESPN. I know that fight opened doors for my career and here I am defending it once again against Herrera. I plan to remain the NABO champion and will look for bigger fights in the future. After this fight I know I'll be ready to fight for the world title."  |
