Kenneth Sims, Jr. is ready for Israel Villela this Saturday night

*Atlantic City, NJ (April 19, 2017)-* Undefeated junior welterweight* Kenneth
Sims, Jr*. will look to make it 12 in a row without a loss when he takes on
tough Mexican *Israel Villela* in a six-round co-feature bout *this
Saturday night* at *The Claridge Hotel* In *Atlantic City.*

The bout will be part of a ten-bout card promoted by GH3 Promotions and D
and D Promotions.

In the main event, undefeated junior welterweight *Keenan Smith* (10-0, 4
KO’s) of Philadelphia takes on veteran *Edgar Gabejan* of the Philippines
in a bout scheduled for eight-rounds.

Sims of Chicago, will be making his 2nd consecutive start on the boardwalk
after his eight-round unanimous decision over Emmanuel Robles (15-1-1)
on January
20th at Ballys. That fight was part of a ShoBox: The New Generation card
seen live on Showtime.

Sims got the call to take a “Stay Busy” fight, before he steps back up
later in the Summer.

“I found out about this fight three weeks ago. It is not a big deal, I
already had been sparring, so I am in good shape and ready for Saturday,”
said Sims.

In Villela, Sims has seen little, but not a lot of his opponent, but he
will be ready for anything that Villela will bring to the ring.

“I saw a few Youtube videos, but I did not see a lot to get to a feel for
him. But I am an experienced fighter, and I just have to fight my fight.
I am not underestimating him, and I know he will be trying to win.”

In the fight with Robles, Sims fought well throughout, and gave a brief
critique of his performance.

“I looked over the last fight, and I looked better watching it on
television then I thought I did in the ring. With that being said, I know
I have things to work on, and I could have looked better.”

Sims is looking for a big performance on Saturday that will be a prelude to
a busy Summer.

“It would be good to get a stoppage. I am looking to come back May 13th in
Louisiana, then a fight back on television.”
