PhilBoxing.com




Tonight,at 7pm EST, LIVE around the WORLD on GFL.tv, SMS Promotions presents "Big Apple Boxing" from the Resorts World Casino in New York City, NY.

In the Main Event of the evening, replacing Joel Diaz vs. Wanzell Ellison which was scrapped due to Ellison being injured, is undefeated Jr. Welterweight prospect Amir Imam (11-0). Imam will be facing his toughest test to date in rugged veteran Sergio Perez (28-15).

Imam, a highly touted prospect out of Albany, NY, is looking to impress during his 1st time on center stage. Imam is looking to put his 6th notch in the win column for 2013 and with that 6th notch against a stiff test will open a lot of doors for himself in 2014. Imam, who has destructive power in both hands, stopped fellow prospect Jeremy Bryan (16-2) this past April in brutal fashion. Another devastating stoppage victory on his resume will lead to bigger fights in 2014, especially over the normally durable Perez.

Sergio Perez, a 43 fight veteran, brings a lot to the table to provide a tough test for Imam, who is 15 years less his age. With only 2 stoppage loses in 43 fights, to top prospects Abner Cotto & Artemio Reyes, he will provide a durable chin that could take past 4 rounds for the 1st time in his career. Perez also posses incredible power that is sure to test the young Imam's chin in a way that it has never been tested before.

Both men provide extreme power and an unquestionable will to win so it is safe to say this fight will end with a highlight reel KO and tons of excitement. Whether your in the audience or watching LIVE around the WORLD on GFL.tv, don't leave you seat because this could end in the blink of an eye!

Originally slated for the Main Event. Joel Diaz Jr (13-0) will get his chance to close out his year in impressive fashion LIVE around the WORLD on GFL.tv. Diaz, will replace fellow prospect Luis Olivares (6-0) who was pulled from the card due to illness, when he takes on Tony Walker (5-3-1).

Diaz made a name for himself in the world of boxing with his, "2012 Fight of the year" nominee, fight with previously undefeated Guy Robb (7-0). He showed determination & power when both guys touched canvas but it was Diaz who prevailed with a 7th round TKO victory. Since then Diaz has won 6th straight with 5 by way of stoppage. Diaz is sure to impress and with victory will clear the road for a 2014 title shot.

His opponent Tony Walker (5-3-1) has lost 3 straight but two of which were by highly touted prospects Damon allen & main event fighter Amir Imam. The fight against the hard hitting Imam marked the only time he suffered a stoppage loss. Walker showed tremendous heart alone by stepping in to fight Diaz as a last minute replacement since his opponent was scratched due to illness. Walker knows his career hangs in the balance.

With both men in the different crossroads of their career but both needing victory fans watching in attendance or LIVE around the WORLD on GFL.tv can expect both to leave it in the ring!

Popular Super Bantamweight prospect Thomas Snow (16-1) squares off with undefeated prospect Nate Green (4-0-1) in a 6 round featured attraction.

Snow,from Capitol Heights, MD, is a very tricky southpaw who has been on a 6 fighter tear since losing to former Wold Title challenger Teon Kennedy in 2010, Snow is not only a crafty southpaw but he carries immense power with 10 of his wins coming via stoppage. Snow will be looking to make this performance count since the fight with Green will be his 1st and last fight in 2013.

Snow's opponent Green will be looking to make this his coming out party. Green, who turned pro in 2011, has won 4 straight. Like Snow, Green is a tricky southpaw who has incredible boxing ability. Green, who will be stepping up significantly, looks to make a statement while keeping his "0" intact while fighting in from of the WORLD on GFL.tv!

Boxing purists will be delighted with this 6 round display of the sweet science. A win here will catapult one prospect up the rankings while the loser will be sent back to the drawing board.
