Tonight at the Grand Casino in Hinckley, Minnesota, undefeated Super Bantamweight Adam Lopez will be back in action when he takes on Philip Adyaka in a bout scheduled for six-rounds on a card that will be televised by CBS Sports Network
The 24 year-old Lopez is promoted by GH3 Promotions and is coming off an impressive national television debut when he scored a 2nd round stoppage over previously undefeated Pablo Cruz that was televised on Sho Box: The New Generation on March 13 in Westbury, NY.
“Training has been really good; I am confident because of my last fight. For this, I have had great strength and conditioning as well as sparring.”
Adyaka (4-4, 2 KO’s) was a good amateur in his native Uganda and now resides in St. Paul, Minnesota.
“I watched a little tape of him. I know he was on the national team and then he defected. He has won his last three bouts, but he has only fought once in the last year.”
Because of the exposure of his last bout, Lopez has picked up a ton of fans who have contacted him via social media.
“A lot of people loved my knockout. I gained a lot of fans, and I think the liked me because the liked the power I displayed in the fight.”
