Douglas is very excited about his 9th appearance of 2013.

“I am ready and this supposed to be a step up against the undefeated guy,”said Douglas

“I am a lot more confident as i have worked with Andre Ward.

He excited about the opportunity to take on the undefeated Courter.

“I know that he is coming up in weight and he comes straight forward.  He doesn’t have much skill and he leaves himself wide open.  I don’t take much stock in his record as he has not fought anybody.”

Douglas is thankful for the amount of work as this will be his 9th fight of 2013.

“That was the plan.  I like being busy and it doesn't stagnate my career.  I am ready to get this show on.

Odom of Bowie, Maryland is looking to stay undefeated when he takes on the Michigan native Moon.

“I always have the mindset of winning.  I go out there and work my plan and come out on top,”said the 20 year-old Odom.

He doesn’t know a lot about Moon but that doesn’t faze him in the least.

“My trainer does the scouting and he informs me.  I don’t watch film because they aren’t fighting me in those previous fights and i know they will fight different against me.”

Odom is looking forward to fighting in front of the knowledgeable New York City crowd.”

“It will be a good experience to fight in New York City.  I am not star struck at all.  I have been on the big stage as an amatuer and I am going out with this gift and show the fans what I can do.”

Odom is not worried about keeping his impressive knockout in-tact.

“It’s not important to keep that knockout streak alive.  There will be fighters I know that i won’t get out of there.  I go into a fight expecting to win and if the knockout happens then it does.”

“I just want to thank my promoter Vito Mielnicki for letting me on this card.  I am blessed to show my skills in front of some big people in the boxing world.”

Unbeaten bantamweights Juan Carlos Payano & Jundy Maraon battle June 14 in New Jersey on ESPN Friday Night Fights

(picture by Rey Sanchez / Acquinity sports) DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. (June 6, 2013) -- Undefeated Dominican southpaw Juan Carlos Payano (13-0, 7 KOs), ranked No. 5 in the World Boxing Association (WBA) bantamweight rankings, is continuing his training in Miami for a June 14thshowdown against unbeaten Philippine invader Jundy "Pretty Boy" Maraon (15-0-1, 12 KOs), in a 12-round WBA title eliminator headlining ESPN Friday Night Fights, airing live from South Mountain Arena in South Orange, New Jersey. "We are working with southpaws to get familiar with Maraon's style," Payano said. "We know that he is a strong puncher who has an acceptable record.  He represents a great challenge. I'll step into the ring, as always, in excellent condition because of our strong training camp. I'm focused on taking away his power." Payano held an intense sparring session this past Tuesday, going four, five-minute rounds  each against Jessy Cruz and Idiel Torriente, totaling eight rounds and 40 minutes of intense work at German Caicedo's Gym. "This fight is a big challenge for Payano," Acquinity Sports promoter Henry Rivalta commented. "He will be facing Jundy Maraon at 118 pounds, which is a great risk due to the power Maraon has shown in his fights. However, we know about the Payano's courage and determination, and that's why we call him 'Baby Pacquiao.' We're confident of getting a great victory for Payano." Payano is the reigning NABA and WBA Fedelatin bantamweight, while Maraon is a former World Boxing Organization (WBO) Asia Pacific bantamweight champion. "This fight is another step towards me attaining our goals," Payano concluded. "I've had five fights since arriving in the United States and have maintained my unbeaten record. We will assert our place in the WBA rankings, proving that I have the ability to face the best in this weight class."

Maraon to Face Payano in Title Bout Friday, June 14 in West Orange, New Jersey

Championship Bout Headlines ESPN Boxing Show from Richard J. Codey Arena at South Mountain. Jorge 'King' Diaz in co-feature against Yenifel Vicente Big-time boxing will return to West Orange, New Jersey, for the first time in nearly 20 years on Friday, June 14, at the Richard J. Codey Arena at South Mountain and broadcast live on ESPN Friday Night Fights. Presented by Greg Cohen Promotions and GH3 Promotions in association with Acquinity Sports and First Round Promotions, the exciting night of world-class boxing will feature, in the 12-round main event, undefeated Philippine knockout artist Jundy Maraon (15-0-1, 12 KOs) taking on undefeated NABA and WBA Fedelatin Bantamweight Champion, Juan Carlos Payano (13-0, 7 KOs) of the Dominican Republic in a WBA Title Eliminator. And in the eight-round super-bantamweight co-feature, New Brunswick, New Jersey's Jorge "King" Diaz (17-1, 10 KOs) will face Dominican bull Yenifel Vicente (24-1-2, 16 KOs) for the WBC Fecarbox Super Bantamweight Title. Tickets are priced at $35, $50, $75, and $100 Ringside (Rows 1-2). VIP Tables for 10 are also available that include dinner. To purchase, please call 888.612.4191. With both of the night's originally scheduled fights having to be cancelled, co-promoter's Greg Cohen and Vito Mielnicki say they're happy with the new line-up and are expecting a night of ethnic passions, fueled especially by the main event. "The Filipinos and the Dominicans both have huge communities nearby, so we expect this fight to be a hotly contested ethnic rivalry with tons of support on either side," said promoter Greg Cohen. "It'll be like the glory days of boxing, with flags waving and real national pride on the line." 28-year-old southpaw Maraon, from Blancia St. Molave, Zamboanga del Sur, in the Philippines is the current WBO Asia Pacific Bantamweight Champion. He turned pro in 2003, and is considered as one of his boxing-rich country's brightest prospects, known for scoring highlight-reel knockouts. He is currently training in San Leandro, California, with head trainer Nonito Donaire Sr., father of boxing superstar Nonito Jr. 29-year-old southpaw Payano, from Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, is the current NABA Bantamweight and WBA Fedelatin Champion. He is a former Olympian who won silver medals at the Pan-Am Games twice as an amateur. In the co-feature, Diaz will be looking to regain his former status as one of the hottest prospects in boxing against Vicente.  Both fighters will be having their first high-profile fights since coming up short against strong opposition and suffering decision losses. 25-year-old Diaz ran off an impressive string of victories and was considered 'someone to watch' before losing to fellow prospect Teon Kennedy in 2011. He has had just two fights since then, but is now back and looking for redemption.  26-year-old Vicente was world-rated before dropping a decision to Chris Avalos last August. Originally from Azua, Dominicana, Dominican Republic, Vicente now lives and trains in Miami. "Jorge suffered that tough loss, but he learned a lot and he's back now. If he can get by Vicente, no easy task, he'll be right back in the picture as a hot prospect," said Cohen. "Both these guys are very aggressive, fearless types, so this fight could be the kind of war that will reignite the passions of New Jersey boxing fans." Cohen, who was involved in the last boxing event at Codey Arena at South Mountain in 97, featuring former junior welterweight World Champion Charles "The Natural" Murray, says he and partner Vito Mielnicki of GH3 Promotions are determined to bring boxing back to life in the area with a series of important shows that fans would want to see. "Fights fans have other options now," he explained. "You can't give them a night where one side of the bout sheet is obviously going to win an easy fight. You have to serve up some world-class action between some of the world's best boxers. That's how you get fans excited and get them to buy tickets. That's what Vito and I are going to be doing, starting with this terrific show. Several Jersey and area products are also scheduled for action including: middleweight Antoine Douglas (7-0, 5 KOs) of Burke, Virginia; light heavyweight Lavarn Harvell (12-0, 7 KOs) of Atlantic City; welterweight Anthony Young (8-0, 4 KOs) of Atlantic City (taking on also undefeated Louis Cream [3-0] of Camden); Lightweight Rickey Edwards (1-0) of Paterson; Heavyweight Tyrell Wright (1-0) of Bayonne; welterweight Anthony Gangemi (3-0, 3 KOs) of Mine Hill; welterweight Shakur Jackson (1 No Contest) of Newark (taking on Anthony Prescott (1-1-1) of Cherry Hill; and junior welterweight Samuel Teah of Philadelphia making his pro debut.
