Light heavyweight contenders Vyacheslav Shabranskyy and Sullivan Barrera will meet in a 10-round bout in the main event of a Golden Boy Promotions card on Dec. 16, Oscar De La Hoyas company announced on Wednesday.The fight will top an HBO Latino-televised tripleheader (10 p.m. ET/PT) from the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California.Although the bout is not an official title eliminator, Shabranskyy-Barrera is a de facto eliminator between two of the top 10 fighters at 175 pounds.Anyone who has heard me talk about Slava over the last few years knows that Im extremely bullish on him winning a world championship in his next few fights, De La Hoya said. He can do anything in the ring. Hes got power in both hands, he moves incredibly well for a tall fighter and he has an incredible capacity to learn from his mistakes. With a win against Barrera, Slava will position himself for some very big things in 2017.?Ukraines Shabranskyy (17-0, 14 KOs), 29, who lives in Los Angeles, is a rising contender who will be facing the most notable opponent of his career other than Yunieski Gonzalez, whom he upset by decision in December 2015.My goal is to win a world championship in the light heavyweight division, and Barrera is just another stepping stone on that path, Shabranskyy said. I am excited to make my second appearance on HBO Latino and look forward to fans seeing me get ready to take on any upcoming challenges in the ring.Barrera (17-1, 12 KOs), a 34-year-old Cuban defector based in Miami, is looking to bounce back from his first defeat, a lopsided 12-round decision to undefeated former super middleweight world champion Andre Ward on March 26.Im looking forward to Dec. 16. My respect to Shabranskyy for agreeing to fight me, Barrera said. This will be a great fight for the fans.Said Kathy Duva of Main Events, Barreras promoter: Sullivan gave Andre Ward the toughest fight Ward has had in years. A performance like that against one of the best fighters in the world is impressive. With the experience he gained and a new trainer [Derik Santos] to guide him, I think Sullivan has everything he needs to become a world champion. That journey starts with beating Slava Shabranskyy on Dec. 16.In the co-feature, welterweight Eddie Gomez (19-1, 11 KOs), 24, of Bronx, New York, will take on 23-year-old Rashidi Speedy Ellis (16-0, 11 KOs), of Lynn, Massachusetts, in a 10-round bout.Gomez has won three fights in a row since a 10-round decision loss in an upset to Francisco Santana in June 2014. Ellis will be seeking his third win of the year after eight-round decisions against Marco Antonio Lopez in May and Luis Hernandez in July.In the opening fight, featherweight contender Ronny Rios (26-1, 11 KOs), of Santa Ana, California, will face an opponent to be determined in a 10-rounder. The 26-year-old Rios has won three fights in a row since a surprising fifth-round knockout loss to Robinson Castellanos in October 2014. DaRon Payne Redskins Jersey . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga.

YAS MARINA, Abu Dhabi -- Toto Wolff says the Mercedes pit wall will do its best not to impact Sundays title fight at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but expects his drivers to adhere to the teams rules of engagement in return.Rosberg and Hamilton will go head to head of the championship on Sunday, with Rosberg still the favourite thanks to his existing 12-point lead in the championship. Hamilton will start from pole position ahead of Rosberg in second, but in order to stand a chance of winning the title needs Rosberg to finish fourth or lower.It has been suggested that Hamilton could back Rosberg into the chasing pack in order to put his teammate under pressure, but Wolff says he trusts his drivers will be sportsmanlike.Ive heard the comments before, he said. We cant really interfere in the final race, we let them race until now. They both know what we deem as being sportsmanlike. There is a lot at stake tomorrow, it is a drivers world championship to be won or lost.I think both will have thought about all possibilities, as long as they are not overstepping the mark in what we see as being unsportsmanlike driving we are fine. I think we need to let them go and race.We dont want change the result tomorrow because it would be wrong for the title decider and turn everything upside down that we have developed in the last couple of years. The drivers are great sportsmen and they know what it would mean to overstep the line which would cause a lot of controversy and therefore I have trust this is going to go well tomorrow for the benefit of the team, the team spirit and the fans.Wolff said Mercedes willl do its best not to impact a straight fight between its drivers on the track.ddddddddddddIt is a difficult situation for all of us in the team. You might say we are in a very privileged position that whoever wins this weekend is going to be a Mercedes driver but the truth is we have kept neutral over these last three years, tomorrow is going to be difficult, it has been already, to give them support when they need it, not interfere too much or over-manage but just let them fight it out on track.We need to give them a car that has pace, which we have seen today we were able to achieve, a reliable car for tomorrow and a strategy that works for both. That is another tricky area with the Red Bulls on an offset strategy and the Ferrari pace. So the main objective is to interfere the least in the F1 driver world championship and let the drivers fight it out on track.Asked how big a headache Red Bull could be, Wolff added: We were expecting them to have one car on the super-soft and not both, it was interesting. It is an offset strategy, it is not the fastest strategy. Our algorithms say the ultra-soft is the better tyre because you cant take the super soft much further, only a couple of laps.I guess Red Bull hasnt got the pace to win on the same strategy and the offset strategy gives them potential. It is a bit of a headache in a same way that Ferraris pace is a headache. Our main objective is being fought out on track, when the lights go green it is all that matters. ' ' '
