Man he signed to mtk Global when he turned Pro and unfortunately, mtk Global is now non-existent.
It’S uh, it’s very unfortunate man uh this kid.
He does have a fight come up.
This week, um yeah this weekend, man on the 22nd uh against Ulysses, sirez Ortega, who’s, nine, five and one this one’s at Plaza del Toro Mexico City.
Guys, if you want to see this one you’re gon na, have to do your best to uh check it out.
On some of these streaming platforms, it will be on the zone.
You can check that out.
Um honestly on this card, uh um, Lara versus San Martin and uh.
We also got rush out.
Matthew uh is on this card man.
So definitely, there’s gon na be a lot of great fights here: uh out of Mexico.
So we’re talking about this kid.
Jonathan ain’t, no 5kos rank 24th out of 159 in the United States, 174 out of 15 58 in the world, and that’s in that featherweight division.
Guys Cedric, I know you’ve been watching some of this kid’s uh.
This kid’s highlights man so uh, let’s break it down for these people.
Yes, yes, yes, this cell phone, um, very good boxer, and I I seen there’s two fights on them and both in both fights one fight.
He starts off on the other, the other fight he starts Orthodox.
So I’m assuming he’s comfortable standing in both stances, uh um.
There’S not too many boxers.
You know if you’re in boxing for a lot a long time you can.
You can definitely sparring both stances, but have the confidence to turn South on in a real fight when a real, when it really counts, to turn into both sound stances.
That’S uh, that’s pretty serious, so um he’s doing it at the lower levels.
Right now, it’s going to be interesting to see if he can continue just switching back and forth that will when he reaches the the higher levels.
Hey.
You know right now he said you know five Knockouts and honestly, let me tell you uh amateur career 93-6, uh, seven time National Champion uh 2019 Junior Olympic gold, 2015 Junior Olympic gold, 2018 silver gloves uh, we’re talking highly decorated.
Amateur here on notice was put on notice to mtk Global by the legend himself Roy Jones Jr uh Roy Jones Jr, seen this kit training in a facility uh.
Seeing you know, a couple of hispiring matches really saw some potential in him referred him to mtk Global and told mtk Global that they need to sign this kid and put him up in that stable and get him out there and internationally.
Unfortunately, we all know what happened to mtk Global, it’s unfortunate, so where this kid is at right now I don’t know I want to get him in here and I want to talk to him in in our studio man and get these questions answered, but definitely be On the looking for this kid to be fighting coming up this weekend, man um, you know he lives and trains out of Orlando Florida turned professional at the age of 17.
.
He was born in Puerto Rico.
He was professional, debut uh, he defeated and then felito uh on November 19th, 2020.
40 Days Later he’s he tko’d bralton Munoz uh.
He won a unanimous decision over Omar yeah that that knockout, that you’re talking about um.
That was one of the other highlights.
I was just watching them: accurate, beautiful knockout, one punch, left, uppercut left uppercut from Orthodox stance and uh.
He was like face plant out out yeah.
It was great, no, no sorry that was the fight that he started out Orthodox and then he just moved around.
He switched a softball to a jab and threw a stepped in for a left uppercut, and then it was good night from there.
It was accurate, very accurate, uh yo.
He also defeated um um Amaya on October, the 2nd of 2021 um, and you know what right now, as his professional record looks man he’s eight and all the five Knockouts uh Lopez won.
The WBC um use featherweight title on December 18, 2021 by defeating Jose um grenados in Mexico.
Lopez was referred to guys, like I said, two mtk Global by the legendary boxer Rory Jones Jr man, uh mtk Global CEO Bobby yalen, released that statement regarding Lopez.
This is what he said when Lori Jones, you know put him on notice, was we were thrilled to welcome him to the team? He is the real deal and is an American Puerto Rican native with the tools to excite everyone in attendance.
They have high hopes that this young fighter will be a household name very quickly, and we will give him the stage to show everyone that he has got.
Unfortunately, guys in this boxing world and in this day and age, we’ve had some issues with mtk, global and them being connected to uh organized crime.
So unfortunately, this kid’s future with mtk global, is over uh.
So that’s the one I know what’s going on find out.
If he’s got any any new promotional companies that are backing him, oh he’s got uh.
I’M super excited to see it.
