The card itself contains many significant boxers who return to the ring after long layoffs. Edgar Berlanga in the Co-Main event returns from his Super match in September against Canelo Alvarez, he will tackle Jonathan Gonzalez Organ. In what he said is a small return fight that will open a much bigger battle in New York later this year. Camamay Ortiz stands in front of Yomar Alamo in the Undercard and American Olympic Omarion Jones makes his professional debut when tackling Alessio Mastronunzio.
Patrice Volny can pose a challenge for ammunition Williams tonight, because he is a long, long boxer with a difficult defense. In his last match against Steven Butler, Volny used a Shell defense with a high guard who made it difficult for Butler to penetrate. Volny was very economical in the first four rounds, but strategically increased its production, selectively chosen his openings and punished Butler when he attacked. Williams had problems with the long and long Hamzah Sheeraz, who fought him at the middle to long distance. Sheeraz was effective in landing on this series as a result of Williams’ poor guard. Ammo suffered its first professional loss against Sheeraz and lost through technical knockout in the 11th round.
Williams attributes the loss of personal struggles he experienced during the training camp for the match when he lost his uncle. He did not sleep and struggled to keep focus. He is now mentally refreshed and focused 100 percent on this match with full. He intends to show the world that he is a headlist and has what is needed to challenge the best in the middleweight section. At the weigh -in of yesterday, he looked energetic, jumped up and down and said he would offer a show.
In his last match against Gian Garrido, an 8-round, Williams slowly started against an opponent who expected many people to end very early. Ammo must now take advantage of its great opportunity and act for expectation. He must deliver a spectacular show by defeating volly predominantly. He cannot afford to suffer another setback as he did when he lost against Sheaudaz in Saudi Arabia.
Butler had a limited success in a volume attack when he fought full by going around or straight through the Shell defense of Volny. Williams should try to increase his production as he had a low production in his last two battles. An economic approach will not help him against full. He also has to keep a close wait and a box to be effective. Doing so will allow him to land and open. The stage is set up, ammunition must now act and give the execution of his career.
