Jamal James vs. Antonio DeMarco Set For July 13 In Minneapolis
By Jake Donovan
Jamal James officially has an opponent for his latest homecoming appearance.
The 6’2” welterweight returns to his Minneapolis (Minn.) hometown for his fourth straight fight, as he next faces former lightweight titlist Antonio DeMarco. Their bout will take place July 13 at a location to be determined—likely the Minneapolis Armory, where his last three fights have taken place—in a Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on FS1 main event.
The pairing was confirmed during Saturday’s edition of PBC on FS1.
James (25-1, 12KOs)—who turns 31 two weeks after his next fight—enters riding a five fight win streak following the lone loss of his career, a 10-round decision to Yordenis Ugas in Aug. 2016.
The fight took place on very short notice, with James—whom had just fought a grueling 10-round battle with Wale Omotoso four weeks prior—stepping in as a late replacement for an injured Bryant Perrella. Ugas had lost two straight and was out of the ring for two years but has since emerged as a top welterweight contender.
Meanwhile, James took the loss as a learning lesson, showing tremendous strides in each of his last five wins. The past three have all come at home, including a 6th round knockout of Janer Gonzalez this past February. The entirety of his five fight win streak has aired live on FS1, with his return home in a win over Abel Ramos last April marking his first fight in Minnesota since Aug. 2014 prior to the formation of adviser Al Haymon’s PBC model.
DeMarco (33-7-1, 24KOs) comes in on the heels of a points loss to unbeaten prospect Maxim Dadashev last October. Prior to that, the 33-year old southpaw from Tijuana, Mexico had claimed two straight wins, including a stunning 1st round knockout of then-unbeaten 140-pound prospect Eddie Ramirez in their Oct. 2017 Fox-televised clash.
The bout officially represents a jump in weight for DeMarco, who has sporadically fought at welterweight but is largely campaigning in the 140-pound division. He reigned as a lightweight titlist for more than year earlier in the decade, scoring a come-from-behind 11th round knockout of Jorge Linares in Oct. 2011 and making two defenses before suffering a knockout loss to then-unbeaten Adrien Broner in Nov. 2012.
DeMarco is 5-4 since that night, having fallen short in a 140-pound title bid versus Jessie Vargas in April 2014
What if Ortiz fights Ruiz Jr and beats him?
to all the #RingsideRave supporters...& thank you 
we are prolly working on the scenario if ruiz is still the holder of those 3 belts
- he goes after wilder again (if the rematch hadn't taken place and wilder still has the wbc belt)
- he goes after wilder again (if he failed in the rematch with wilder and wilder still has the wbc belt)
- a rematch clause (if ruiz put one in)
- whoever is the WBC champion if its not wilder
- possible WBO, WBA, IBF mandatories if exceptions arent granted

I just want people to still remember that we aren't too far removed from everybody feeling that Wilder got his head boxed off and should have an L on his record (in my opinion of course) so we can't be sitting here saying he's the #1 in the HW division when he has Fury problems.
Fury is a better boxer. But Wilder is like Tommy Hearns with that right.
I wouldn't mind Ortiz with the belts. I really just wanna see Wilder and Fury 2
Fury is a wildcard because he's on TR..he's also the legit man at Heavyweight...who even knows when he will make a play for an actual title or title(s)
I just hope Bomber has been studying up. He could legit be Hitman Hearns but with a chin.
nah..his development is too delayed to ever be what thomas hearns was..he is who he is now
don't say it soo matter of fact, breh.
