(Throwback Thursdays/ Fight Synopsis)

 

Eubank vs. Benn II – Oct. 9, 1993, Old Trafford Stadium, מנצ'סטר, Lancashire, אנגליה

 

Three years after Eubank rallied to stop defending champion Benn in an intense, fiercely contested battle for the WBO Middleweight Crown that marked the beginning of a great era for British middleweights and super middleweights, the rivals fought to a controversial 12-round draw in a 168-pound unification bout for Eubanks’ WBO and Benn’s WBC titles.

 

עם יותר מ 42,000 fans in attendance roaring their approval, the two legends went at it again from start to finish. There were lots of close rounds with frenzied flourishes at the end of each. The thrilling 12ה round is considered a classic as both boxers were told they needed it to win. At the finish, one judge scoring it for Eubank, 115-113, one judge gave it to Benn by the identical score while the third judge had it 114-114.


Hamed vs. ג'ונסון
– Feb. 8, 1997, New London Arena, לונדון, אנגליה

The undefeated WBO Champion Hamed unified the featherweight division with an eighth-round TKO over respected longtime IBF titlist, טום "בום בום" ג'ונסון. Hamed dominated Johnson, who was making his 12ה defense, from the third round on, scoring the bout’s lone knockdown with a huge uppercut in the eighth. Hamed was ahead by 69-63, 69-64 ו 69-65 when it was stopped at2:27 של הסיבוב.

 

Four starts later, Hamed won his United States debut with a wild fourth-round knockout over Kelly, a former WBC Champion, במדיסון סקוור גארדן.

 

Hatton vs. Tszyu – June 4, 2005, M.E.N. זירה, מנצ'סטר, אנגליה
The largely unproven but hungry Hatton scored one of the most sizeable stunners in British history and announced his entry to the upper echelons of the world boxing scene by recording an 11ה-round TKO over Tszyu for the unified IBF, Ring and lineal light-welterweight titles.

 

This is regarded as the signature performance in Hatton’s career; the stamina, aggression and heart he displayed is now legendary. A massive underdog against a dominant, feared champion and one of the world’s top ליש"ט תמורת פאונד מתאגרפים, Hatton won when Tszyu failed to answer the bell for the 12th round. לאחר 11, Hatton was ahead by 107-102, 106-103 ו 105-104.

Calzaghe vs. Lacy – March 4, 2006, M.E.N. זירה, מנצ'סטר, אנגליה
In the most important and anticipated super middleweight match since רוי ג'ונס ניצח ג'יימס Toney ב 1994, Calzaghe produced a masterpiece and the performance of his career, thoroughly overwhelming the previously unbeaten IBF kingpin Lacy. It was a Brit Beatdown at its brutal best, a wipeout from the outset. Calzaghe cut Lacy over both eyes and caused blood to flow from Lacy’s nose midway through a fight that could have been stopped several times, and floored him in the 12th.

By impressively prevailing over Lacy, Calzaghe also earned the The טבעתאליפות, becoming the first super middleweight to be recognized as world champion by The Ring.

Froch vs. טיילור – April 25, 2009, Foxwoods Resort Casino in Foxwoods, קונטיקט.
Froch registered one of the most dramatic finishes to a world title fight sinceחוליו סזאר צ'אבס, behind on points, נעצר Meldrick טיילור two seconds from the end of the 12th round in 1990.

Froch, making his second U.S. start and initial defense of the WBC title, survived a third-round knockdown – the first of his career, amateur and pro – to finish Taylor with 14 seconds left.

 

Froch hurt and staggered Taylor with a cracking right hand just over a minute into the 12th. Desperate to get the knockout, he continued to belt Taylor all over the ring. With about 90 seconds left, Taylor went down from a barrage of head shots. He barely arose at nine with 0:29 remaining but had no defense for an ensuing barrage of damaging blows.

 

(The British Invasion/Boxer Capsules)

 

כריס Eubank (45-5-2, 23 קוס), of Brighton, אנגליה, was one of the top British super middles of all-time; he was responsible for helping British boxing ride a peak of popularity in the 1990s. After winning the WBO 160-pound title by stopping Benn and making three subsequent defenses , Eubank moved up to 168, captured the WBO crown and retained it 14 פעמים (12-0-2) over a five-year-period. One of the draws came against WBC champion Benn in world title unification in their rematch in October 1993.

 

Nigel “Dark Destroyer” Benn (42-5-1, 35 קוס), of West Ham, אנגליה, went pro in January 1997 וזכיתי ראשון 22 fights by knockout. He took the WBO 160-pound belt with an eighth-round TKO over דאג דוויט באפריל 29, 1990, באטלנטיק סיטי. In his first defense, he stunned the boxing world by scoring a devastating TKO 1 over former middleweight world champion Barkley on Aug. 18, 1990. In his next outing, Benn fought Eubank the first time. He captured the WBC 168-belt in October 1992 and made nine successful defenses.

 

נסים חאמד (36-1, 31 קוס), שפילד, אנגליה, was a global superstar. He was known, loved, despised and acclaimed as one of the greatest British pound for pound boxers of all time. He was known for his marvelous movement and entertaining, albeit unconventional antics. He held multiple world championships at משקל נוצה and made 16 consecutive featherweight world title defenses. He was considered the linear world champ at 126 pounds for five years (1995-2000) and was The Ring Magazine’s No. 1 Featherweight Fighter from 1997‑2000.

 

Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton (45-3, 32 קוס) מנצ'סטר, אנגליה, is viewed by many as the No. 1 British 140-pounder of all time. הוא היה 2005 טבעתMagazine Fighter of the Year, the first British boxer to receive the award since its inception in 1928. He was also the 2005 ESPN and אגרוף אגודת סופרים של אמריקה לוחם של השנה. During his15-year career (1997-2012), he held various world titles at junior welterweight and one at welterweight. He reached the pinnacle of his profession in June 2005 when he upset Tszyu to seize the unified IBF, Ring and lineal 140-pound titles.

ג'ו Calzaghe (46-0, 32 קוס) is the longest-reigning super middleweight world champion in history, having held the WBO title for more than 10 years and making 21 successful defenses before relinquishing it to move up to light heavyweight. As his reins at 168 ו 175 pounds overlapped, he retired with the longest continual time as world champion of any active fighter. Calzaghe annihilated IBF Super Middleweight Champion Jeff “Left Hook” Lacy to become world super middleweight champion on March 4, 2006. He held the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, טבעת מגזין ו lineal בינוני סופר כותרות, as well as The טבעת כבד משקל קל כותרת.
Carl “The Cobra” Froch (33-2, 24 קוס), of Nottingham, אנגליה, was a four-time בינוני סופר world champion who possessed an aggressive, סִגְנוֹן, toughness and granite chin. Froch won the WBC crown twice and was the WBA titleholder from 2013-2015 ו IBF champion from 2012-2015. ב 2013, the מחווה למאמן LHU Ken Cox listed him as the best British pound-for-pound boxer.

 

One outing after Froch captured the WBC belt with a triumph over ז'אן פסקלבמאי 2008, he rattled the boxing world by producing one of the most remarkable comebacks in history. Rallying from an early knockdown and a four-point deficit on two of the scorecards entering the final round, Froch came on to batter former undisputed middleweight champion ג'רמיין טיילור senseless and knock him out at 2:46 של 12ה באפריל 25, 2009. כמה חודשים מאוחר יותר, Froch entered the Super Six World Boxing Classic on SHOWTIME, where he got the only two defeats of his career, losing decisions to מיקל קסלר, ולאנדרה וורד in the finals.

לפרסום מיידי
מארק אברהמס
אוקיי. Welcome to the Daniel Jacobs/Sergio Mora conference call. The rematch will take place יום שישי לילה, 9 בספטמבר, at the Santander Arena in Reading, פנסילבניה, and live on Spike TV. It’s a championship double header, a great show that will also feature the IBF lightweight championship of the world between undefeated Robert Easter and undefeated Richard Commey of Accra, גאנה. The show is promoted by Kings Boxing. And to make some opening statements, the President of Kings Boxing Mr. מרשל קאופמן. Marshall?
מרשל קאופמן
שלום, כולם. It’s a pleasure to be able to host such an exciting fight come9 בספטמבר. I’m looking forward to fireworks between both thesewith both of these bouts. You havewith Richard Commey and Robert Easter, ג 'וניור, ובוודאי, Daniel Jacobs and Sergio Mora, it’s going to be an exciting night. אני באמת מצפה לזה. And the [לא מובן] town of Reading as well is really excited about such a big event coming to our town.
Abrams
ובכן, we’ll start with Robert Easterwould like to make an opening comment.
רוברט פסחא
כן, I’ll all very excited to come to Reading, הרשות הפלסטינית, and fight for the IBF world title. אני מקווה ש, Richard Commey will bring his A game to the table because I’m definitely bringing my A-plus game to the table.
Abrams
ו, ריצ'רד, would you like to make an opening statement?
ריצ'רד קומי
אה, כן, I’m very excited to have this opportunity to fight for the IBF lightweight world title. I’ve worked so hard to get this opportunity. And I know Robert Easter, ג 'וניור, has also. אז, זה הולך להיות קרב גדול.
Q
רוברט, בעצם, he hasn’t faced anyone with your height, לְהַגִיעַ, כוח, and speed. Is that accurate? Can you give an assessment of your thoughts on that?
חג הפסחא
כן, לא, he hasn’t faced anyone like me and my agility, my power, my length, my reach. He hasn’t faced a guy like me. אז, that’s where I come in and take over this fight.
Q
מצד השני, who would you say that you have faced that is either comparable or better than him in ways that you think he needhe would need to be able to compete against you?
חג הפסחא
זה היה–מנדז, he was a speedy, speedy guy, מהר, and could move a lot. אבל, what I’m hearing, Commey brings pressure I guess. That’s probably the only thing Mendez didn’t have. He camehe definitely came to fight, למרות ש, but he was a speedy guy, a slick guy, to move his hands.
Q
I guess the last question, is there anything that is different or unique about Richard that you haven’t seen in an actual fight? I know you’ve been in sparring with guys like [למונט פיטרסון] ואנתוני פיטרסון, אדריאן ברונר, guys like that. אבל, in an actual fight, is there anything about him that you respect to the level that you’re really going to have to be on your P’s and Q’s about?
חג הפסחא
Every opponent you step in the ring with you have to respect. אבל, it’s nothing unique I see coming from him. It’s nothing I haven’t seen or faced. אז, כמו שאמרתי, this should be a walk in the park for me, and I say that with confidence.
Q
אוקיי. ריצ'רד, I wonder what tradition you know when you talk about Azumah Nelson Have you talked to any of those guys or heard from any of those guys ?
Commey
כן. And I’m going to use the advice Azumah gave me over the last few weeks here in Ghana.
Q
ריצ'רד, how does Robert stack up to left hander went the distance with both those guys. Have you seen anything like what you’re going to see out of Robert in terms of reach and–?
Commey
I’ve inspired a lot of people with a lot of heart. I need this opportunity. His height really won’t matter. I’m coming there to win and that’s what I’m coming to do.
Q
The last question, what do you think you’vethat he hasn’t fought anyone like? What do you think is unique about you that he hasn’t seen before?
Commey
ובכן, I’m a tall guy. And no matter what he does, אני יכול לנצח. אני חזק. And I can take punches and I can punch as well. I can do all that. If he can’the will lose. I respect the height and his reach and his skills as a boxer.
Q
I’ll start with you, חג הפסחא. Welcome to the fight, and good luck to you. You mentioned that you’re ready, and Commey has not fought anybody of your caliber. אבל, if you look at both records, you guys are both undefeated with a nice double figure of knockouts. And he’s already a champion is his country and all that. עכשיו, and you are an ex-Olympian. Are you telling me, or as I understand, that you’re minimizing what he has, taking in consideration that he is undefeated, just like you, and somebody’s always got to go? אז, what do youhow do you assess that?
חג הפסחא
Seeing the few rounds I did watch is the skills, and I wouldn’t say they were that good, but he–כמו שאמרתי, he’s just very strong. הם אומרים שהוא חזק. אבל, you’re only strong to somebody you can hit.
When you got toboxing out there, like me, I’m using my rank, my length, and what I’m throwing [can be] hard as well, how you going to be able to get past that? אז, כמו שאמרתי, the skills are not much there. אבל, I don’t like to get hit that much. I won’t get hit that much. אז, I’m going to take all that away, and then whatever he’s bringing and adjust to have him adjust to me. Once I get him in my game plan, the fight is going to go my way the whole few rounds it’s going to last.
Q
Do you feel that your Olympic experience is an advantage over him because, אחרי הכל, when you get to the high heights of Olympic experience and international amateur fighting, you’re almost like a pro? It’s almost like stepping into the living room when you turn pro. אז, that hasyou have an edge on that?
חג הפסחא
I wouldn’t pretty much focus on the amateur side because the transition from the amateur to pro is way different. You know patience.So, I’ll transition pretty quickly like Lamont Peterson, אנתוני פיטרסון, אדריאן ברונר, guys like that..
Q
Are you hoping tojust to name two guys to follow the tradition of African champions, like Ike Quartey and the great Azumah Nelson, to bring another title back to Africa? Is this whatnot only to win, כמובן, but isthis is your direction, your crusade, when you were saying that, “לבסוף, I got a chance at a world title,” and your heart of hearts, this is what you want to do, to bring another title to Africa?
Commey
כן, that’s exactly what I want to do. Like you said, the likes of Ike Quartey, אזומה נלסון, to bring a championship back to my country.
Q
Knowing that this is for the vacant IBF world title, כמובן, what have youwithout giving out trade secrets, what have you done in camp todifferent or with a high acceleration to make sure that your hand is raised in victory over Easter?
Commey
ובכן, כמובן, I spar a lot of big guys like Joshua Clottey, and I have the kind of power to excel in the gym and on fight night. I want to follow the tradition of Ghanaian boxing. אז, I’m coming there to make sure, once I get my game plan underway, then I’ll victorious.
Q
Do you run at all the risk of being a little overconfident against another opponent who is also undefeated and has traveled all over, fought a lot of different type of fighters in all different countries and certainly has no fear of coming here? Are you a little overconfident in those remarks?
חג הפסחא
לא, בכלל לא. בכלל לא. I believe in my skill. And I know what I’ll come and do, just like my last fight and fight before that and a few fights before that. Once I got my game plan, when I come in the ring, I know how to make the fighter try to adjust to me. Once I get a fighter try and adjust to me, then the fight is already won.
The skills, you can see the skills, mine and his. He’s a straight coming-forth fighter, try to hard punch and all that. אבל, when got boxing and you can punch as well and you can move, don’t matter. It speaks for itself.
Q
אז, how surprised were you that Barthelemy did give up the title and that you ended up getting this title shot? Seems to me probably about maybe around a year or so or at least in the IBF 9 או 10 months sooner than maybe you had expected.
חג הפסחא
I knew after the Mendez fight I was going to have a big fight coming up. אז, either way, I was going to train like it was a championship fight, like I do always. אז, it is surprising that it came up this soon.
Q
Do you think, when you face him, you’re going to have to use your height and length and box him because you mentioned how aggressive he is, or is this going to be similar to Argenis Mendez, where you can drop that big shot at any moment and knock the guy out?
חג הפסחא
כן, I’m going to and I will have to box. That’s the plan for every opponent I fight. I box and use my length. אז, as long as I do that and see a weaknesswherever I see a weakness, that’s when I go for it.
Q
I count six different countries that you’ve fought in between your home country, ארצות הברית, throughout Europe. Can you talk about what that experience has done in terms of giving you confidence to come again to the United States and take on an American fighter in a pretty significant fight for a world title?
Commey
Like you said, I’ve been fighting all over the world. I’m very comfortable fighting in the U.S. I don’t really think about where I’m going to fight, just do my best, and whatever happens, I take it because, כמתאגרף, I need to prepare. I need to be ready to go wherever to fight. I’m ready to go anywhere to fight to so wherever I go as a boxer. אז, I’m all good
Q
ריצ'רד, can you just give me your opinion about the kind of fighter and what you think about the style of Robert Easter, if you’ve seen him fight?
Commey
What I’ve seen of him, I know he’s a great boxer, a skilled boxer, and he tries to move a lot. אבל, likewise, אני יכול תיבה. I can come forward. אז, on the night of the fight, בהחלט, I know what I’m going to do.
Q
Did you have a preference of fighting Barthelemy, who was the reigning champion, or taking on another undefeated fighter for the vacant title, or did it not make a difference to you?
Commey
ובכן, בסופו של היום, that’s you want. Once you got a chance to fight for it, whatever comes, it doesn’t really matter who you’re supposed to fight. It’s the title I want. אז, בשבילי, I don’t really feel much disappointed. I’m there to fight for the title. זה מה שאני רוצה. אז, I’m not disappointed. It’s all good as I’m really looking forward for the title. And once I’m fighting for the title, I don’t mind.
Abrams
אוקיי. We’re going to wrap up this part of the call. I know we’ve gotSergio is on the line. And I think Daniel will be on the line in a second. Just a quick final comment from both, we’ll start with Robert.
חג הפסחא
Just be ready 9 בספטמבר. I’ll come bring a lot of fireworks and a lot of action and another short bout, 9 בספטמבר, and will be the IBF champion.
Commey
Come on the 9לספטמבר. I’m coming to put my life on the line. And I’m going to be the world champion, IBF lightweight world champion.
Abrams
תודה לך, בחורים. We’ll see you in Reading 9 בספטמבר. ו, Danielle, I think we’re ready now with theI believe Sergio is on the line. I know Daniel going to be in, in a second. אני מניח ש, while we wait for Daniel, Marshall, I don’t know if you want to introduce Sergio?
קאופמן
סרג'יו מורה, a very exciting fighter. His last fight was fireworks. And I’m looking forward to fireworks once again. Danny Jacobs dropped him first, and Sergio came back and took advantage of Danny’s mistakes. And then the third knockdown was something that’s still a question mark, whether it was from a knockdown or a twisted ankle. אז, there are question marksthere are questions that are left to be spoken for. And I believe Sergio is in shape. And we’ll see, כמו 9 בספטמבר. How about it, סרג'יו?
סרג'יו מורה
It was no knockdown. I alwaysI’m the one getting punched, דרך אגב. אז, I didn’t feel the punch, and it was definitely just me twisting my ankle. It was Jacobs pushing me down as well. כן, the referee kept warning Jacobs also that he was pushing me down with his elbow. I normally go down low like that. אז, it’s not the first time it happened. אז, it’s a mix of a lot of things. אבל, it wasn’t a punch to knock me down. It was all my ankle. And if was a punch, then why didn’t I stay down? I was up at the count of two or three on one foot. אז, it definitely wasn’t a punch.
Abrams
And I believe the WBA middleweight champion Daniel Jacob on the line. דניאל, you want opening statements and maybe a response to that?
דניאל ג'ייקובס
ובכן, I came in briefly. And from what I hear, he’s saying that that last shot wasn’t a punch that put him down. I don’t know what my eyes were seeing, or I don’t know what my fists felt, but in my opinion, and I think, if you clearly go to the video, the replay, it was a punch that put him down. It was the uppercut that startedwhich had him backwithdraw and back up. And then it was the overhand right that put him down. אז–.
Mora
The overhand right grazed the back of my head. כן, the overhand right grazed the back of my head, but my ankle was already twisted. It was a tricky shot.
ג'ייקובס
It could be a graze. It could be whatever you want to say it could be, but it put you down. לְהַקְשִׁיב, let me give my opening statement, אנא. I just got on the line.
Mora
אבל, it didn’t keep me down. אם נפגעתי, –I wouldn’t have gotten up.
ג'ייקובס
אוקיי. Allow me to have my opening statement, סרג'יו, אנא. I just got on the line, brother. Show some respect. I just got on the line. אז, my opening statement, גבירותיי ורבותיי, it is the honor to be back into the ring. I’ve been out for quite some time. The reason we’ve actually been out for so long was because we were trying to get a better opportunity at fighting B.J. סונדרס. ברור, that fight took a little longer than anticipated. And this is the reason why this fight is happening. It isn’t because I’ve been avoiding Sergio Mora. I just understand that this fight for my career at this particular point isn’t really going to do anything for me. It’s more going to do anythingmore for Sergio than it would do for me. אבל, me and him have the same management in Al Haymon. אז, I can understand why this fight is being made.
אבל, the reasons why he’s saying this fight is being made as far as me ducking him and not wanting to fight him, אני מתכוון, that’s absurd. That’s absurd. אבל, I’m just excited nevertheless to be back into the ring. It’s a good time for me to be able to get back in there and have some fun again. I look forward to a very good matchup again I hope. אבל, one question that I do have for Sergio is, in previous interviews, he said that he was going to have a more exciting style and he was tired of being the born fighter he used to be that wasn’t appealing to fans, and he wasn’t going to do much running, this other stuff, stuff that he’s been getting criticized before, he wasn’t going to do that. And now that he says he’s felt the power of myself, he says he’s going to completely switch the game plan. אז, my question is, מה–why the sudden change? אני מתכוון, what’s the difference now? Why are you not going to be more exciting and more appealing now, like you said before?
Mora
I said I was going to be exciting and more aggressive. I didn’t say I was going to be stupid.
ג'ייקובס
אה, כן, that is stupid to come andthat will be stupid to come and actually go toe to toe and bang with me. You’re absolutely right. So it’ll be interesting to see the game plan that you have for this coming fight because I just hope it’s not a stinker, אחד. You’re getting a second opportunity at a worldat my world title shot. Please let’s not make it a snoozer. It’s bad enough we’re both receiving a lot of criticism for this fight, but dude, please let’s just make it exciting.
Mora
היי, להקשיב, I’m the king of criticism. If you can’t take criticism, you don’t belong to be a champion. You don’t belong in the top like that. That’s part of being a world champion is taking all the bullshit from critics and media and everyone else. And if you’re thin-skinned, then you’re not going to hang very much as the world champion.
ג'ייקובס
אוקיי. כן, אדוני. Ready for some questions.
Q
סרג'יו, after that first fight, you said that you felt that, because it was so early in the fight, it was going to be called-be a no contest. Turns out it ultimately ended up being a loss on your record. Do you feel like the fact that it’s been sothat the fight ended in that way, do you feel like an extra layer of motivation to try to win this second fight?
Mora
לא, that blemish on my career isit’s already there. I tried to contest it with the New York Commission. אבל, it got me nowhere. The New York Commission is a mess as we’re all finding out when it comes to the fights and boxing and MMA and everything else. אז, I went that route. It didn’t go anywhere. אז, I’m going to have that TKO on my record for the rest of my career and the rest of my life. And it’s sad because I don’t want it to be on a technicality. אז, does it irk me? בהחלט. אבל, am I past it? כן. I just want an opportunity to clear whatever happened. Jacobs said that he dropped me twice. I only fell once. I dropped him once. Round of the year, ספורטס אילוסטרייטד. Second round, I feel I was in control and winning. עם 5 או 10 seconds left, the injury happens, and I bust my ankle. אז, there’s a lot of unanswered questions. And for whatever reason this fight is happening again, I’m going toI’m fully prepared for whatever comes. And I just want toI just want my opportunity. And I’m thankful that I got it.
Q
דניאל, in that–בסיבוב הראשון, Sergio did knock you down. You said after the fight ended that you were a little bit careless in that first round. Are you taking a more conservative approach, or are you being a little more careful knowing that Sergio has the capabilities of knocking you down?
ג'ייקובס
לְהַקְשִׁיב, there’s always opportunities to learn and grow in the sport of boxing. Even with a light-punching guy like Sergio Mora, I learned a valuable lesson that, after I knocked him down and I was going in for the kill, that you still have to be defensive minded, even when you have a guy hurt because I was on the verge of stopping this man. There’s no way around that. I was definitely on the verge of stopping him. אבל, במחשבה שלי, I got a little careless. And the way I had my feet spread, אני מתכוון, I just got caught with a real clean shot. It’s nothing I can take away from him. He definitely earned that. אבל, it was a valuable lesson to me and a lesson that I’m sure I won’t make again.
Q
סרג'יו, how was the rehab in trying to get back and healthy? Was there anything that, during that time, you looked at yourself as a fighter and wanted to improve upon for this rematch?
Mora
לא, not as a fighter. The only thing I had in mind was to heal up 100 אחוזים. I did everything in my power, in my capability to heal up properly. I did all theI got the best treatment. I tried to go with the best physical therapist and with ice and do all the remedies, all the Mexican remedies that my mom would tell me to do. And I tried to do everything possible to do it. אז, finally, אני–לאחר 6 ל 7 חודשים, I startedlittle by little started putting pressure on it. And I started feeling good and taking ittaking Aleve. And sometimes, I have to take cortisone shots in order for me to go harder and faster. אז, I just did everything in my ability, plus prayer. And thank God I’m back.
Q
I don’t know who’s best fit to answer this question, but is there a rubber match clause in the event that Sergio pulls the upset?
Mora
I’m the king of rematches. אז, I’ll answer that. I’ve had four rematches. This is going to be my fifth. And I’ve never had a rubber match. I probably deserved a rubber match with Brian Vera. אבל, Texas is just too big and strong for me to beat. אז, rubber matches, אני לא יודע. נצטרך לראות. I got to get the win first.
Q
Are you confident, סרג'יו, in your ability to plant on your ankle?
Mora
בהחלט. עכשיו, אני. There were times within the year that I’ve been off that I questioned it. ואני 35 ישן שנים. אז, everything heals up slower. I can’t fool myself. אז, לפעמים, I question it. אבל, עכשיו, I’m not anymore. I did everything. I put all the pressure, sprinting uphill, sprinting downhill, stopping on a dime, pivoting, twisting. And I feel an ache here and there. אבל, as far as me doing, I’ve done it. אז, מבחינה נפשית, אני שם. אני מוכן.
Q
דניאל, do you feel this fight is a backwards step?
ג'ייקובס
I absolutely do. אני מתכוון, I think it’s just–לי, this is kind of like a just-stay-busy fight because we weren’t able to get the fight that we actually wanted, for whatever reason. אבל, לי, I don’t think this does anything for my career. Like I said before, we’ve always wanted to move up to bigger and better opposition each time out. This is kind of a step back. And I understand that it left a bitter taste in certain people’s mouths because of the way Sergio Mora lost. אבל, לדיעה, he was on the verge anyway. אז, that’s how I look at it. אבל, this is for me an opportunity to kind of quiet the critics and just make the final statement once and for all that I am the better fighter, better boxer.
Hell, I’m better in general inside that square ring. Sergio Mora has nothing in there to stop me, especially come 9 בספטמבר. I’m in the best shape that I’ve ever been in my life. And he said before that I don’t like to go 12 סיבובים. אני מתכוון, I’ve never said that. אני מתכוון, just because I’ve knocked guys out doesn’t mean I don’t like to go 12 סיבובים. With the Caleb Truax fight, I wanted to go 12 סיבובים, and I did, and then I stopped him in the 12th round. אז, it’s not like I’d just like to go out there and have this false identity like I’m this super big knockout artist. I’m a superb boxer. I learned the fundamentals from the amateur USA boxing. I’ve gone internationally and performed on an international level. I know how to box. Sergio Mora is extremely awkward. That’s what allowed him to get where he is now. Take nothing away from him being a world champion. כן, I have to give him credit for that. אבל, as a–.
Mora
About time you give me some credit. And guess what? אני–and hey, להקשיב, אחד. Sorry to interrupt you, but that’s the first time you’ve ever given me credit.
ג'ייקובס
אה, אני מצטער. I thought I was answering the question. אוקיי. I’m going to let you go ahead.
Mora
That’s the first time you’ve ever given me credit, אחד. תודה רבה. תודה לך, דני. תודה לך.
ג'ייקובס
אה, אוקיי. You’re very welcome. אבל, as I was saying, כן, this is definitely a setback.
Q
It didn’t take long for you to get acquainted the first time around. What are your mindsets? Are you looking to pick up where you left off, or you taking a completely different approach this time around?
Mora
I’m still in shock that he gave me credit. תראה, the first time around, he downplayed and downgraded me as a former world champion. And he said that he wanted to move onto bigger and better things. I just want to touch on something. I’m the best name on Daniel Jacobs–לא, let me take that back. I’m the most accomplished name on Daniel Jacobs’s record.
אז, how is he downhow is he going backwards? How is he regressing by fighting me? I’m the bestI’m the most accomplished on his resume. He’s not even top three on mine. I’ve got hall of famers on my resume. I had to beat a world champion, a five-time world champion to become champion. He had to beat a guy Jarrod Fletcher JacobI don’t even know what the hell his name is, Fletcher Jones or whatever it is. אז, the bottom line is you’ve got to give me my credit, אחד. אז, thank you for giving me that credit. עכשיו, what was your question, שוב? אני מצטער.
Q
Are you looking to pick up where you left off, or are you coming in with a totally different mindset?
Mora
ובכן, look, I know that I got dropped. I’ve been dropped before. I can get up, and I’m pretty resilient that way. Jacobs took a little longer to get the cobwebs off. אז, הוא–עכשיו, he knows that I can punch. I don’t think he’s going to come in as aggressive as he was the first time. If he does, maybe we’ll leave off. That’s going to be up to the champ. The champ wants to start if off, אני בסדר. אם לא, if I see himfighting behind a jab, then I’m going to have to go and put the pressure on a little bit.
Q
ו, דניאל?
ג'ייקובס
אז, I justI totally feel like he’s just full of it right now. I don’t think he’s going to come forward. He’s even said it in the interview. עכשיו, he understands and he knows how much power I possess. He’s going to change the game plan. And he’s going to try to take me into what he quotes are deep waters. אז, he’s going to try to take me in later rounds, which in my opinion, he has to box, and he has to be on the back foot to do so.
אז, לדיעה, I think he’s going to try to make it a snoozer. He’s not going to try to make it exciting and come forward. And it’s just myit’s just up to me to make it an exciting. And I’m going to do what I’ve always done. I’m going to come forward, and I’m going to adjust if I need to make adjustments. And that’s simple. I want to hurt this man. There’s no way around it. I want him to feel and eat his words, clearly. אז, I’m going to come in there, and I’m going to try and punch you in your face. It’s plain and simple, סרג'יו. That’s my game approach. אבל, if you want to box–.
Mora
That’s all good. You try to reach my–.
ג'ייקובס
If you want to go on the back foot–.
Mora
I’m going to be touching that body.
ג'ייקובס
Hold on, אדוני. Hold on, תינוק. Hold on, תינוק. I’ll let you answer your question. Hold on now. Be respectful. If you wanted to be on the back foot, that’s the game that I can play, מדי. I have an extreme amateur and professional boxing resume, brother. Like, we can do this. אבל, the game plan for me, to answer your question, is to go in there and hurt this man, תקופה.
Q
סרג'יו, given the fact that Danny has said that this is a backwards step for him, he looks at it as a tune-up fight, didn’t really want to have the rematch, whywhat do you think it was that actually got you this rematch and I know you wanted very badly?
Mora
אל Haymon, חד וחלק, אל Haymon. I think no one was campaigning for this rematch, ו. And I think a lot of people were surprised that it happened. I certainly was surprised that I got the phone call because, even though I was promised by Al a big fight my first fight back, I didn’t expect it to be for world title versus Daniel Jacobs in a rematch. אז, אני מאוד, very thankful to Al Haymon. And honestly, just to–אני מתכוון, not to be funny or anything, but if I really have to thank another person, another thing, it’s Twitter because it gives me a voice when I was injured. And I never had that before. I just wish I would’ve started it earlier and had more of a following. אז, כן, I’ve got to thank Twitter, מדי.
Q
Do you think–אני מתכוון, you’ve had your ups and downs. You fought a lot of good names. אבל, you mentioned a little earlier 35 שנים. Do you think this maybe this could be your last chance at a world title?
Mora
כן, probably. אני מתכוון, I can’t be foolish and say that I can moveI can beat Bernard Hopkins. I can’t. I’m not Bernard Hopkins. There’s only special people that could fight in their mid-30s and so on and still be fighting the best. אז, even though, if my body hasn’t taken a beating, I’ve been in the game a long time. And the wear and tear from sparring and from running and from the dieting and from all the other stuff, all that takes effect.
אבל, even though I am well preserved, I’m still the age that I am. And the hunger’s still there. אז, מספר אחד, if the hunger’s still there, everything else falls into place. אז, we’re going to find out in two weeks exactly if the hunger and my body is at the same level.
Q
Were you anxious to just go right back in with Danny in a second fight if you could get the fight, or did you consider a tune-up?
Mora
לא, לא. Great question, ו. Me and my team did have that discussion. And we did think about fighting someone else. And I think Alfredo Angulo was a name they offered and were considering. אבל, we know Angulo very well. And we just didn’t feel right taking that fight, especially watching the fight–הקרב האחרון שלו. אבל, the ankle feels good. And we decided to go straight into this title fight because we weren’t sure we were going to get it again. I think the stars lined up perfectly for it to happen. And Jacobs admits that, מדי, that he didn’t want to fight me for whatever reasons, and I got this fight thanks to Al Haymon. And that’s it.
Q
What was it that made you decide that, ultimately, you would in fact give him the rematch, even though it’s clear that it’s not a fight that you want?
ג'ייקובס
It’s just I understand how it left a bad taste in people’s mouths. אז, with the options that we were given, with talking to Al and talking with my team, I guess it just kind of madenot sense, but it just was the right thing to do at the veryat that moment. And I won’t say we looked at it as, כמו, היי, this is an easy win or this is an opportunity to make easy money.
Like, we don’t look at it like that. אבל, we kind of justand we definitely wasn’t forced into the fight. אז, that’s another thing that I want to make clear. Al Haymon didn’t say, “היי, this is going to be what you’re going to do.” אז, me and my team came together. And for whatever reasons, we allowed this fight to happen, but we definitely wasn’t forced into it.
Q
אז, you mentioned you had some other options that were brought to your attention. What were those other options?
ג'ייקובס
They just wasn’t–כמו, it wasn’t guys in my opinion at that level that were bigger and better. Like I said before, we looked at the whole scene of the middleweight division, and Andy Lee and a couple other guys that names were thrown out there. We were trying to make that fight happen with Lee. I think that fight kind of fell through maybe once or twice. אז, we were just like, “היי, let’s just go with Sergio Mora.The way wethe way it looked and the way we won kind of left a little bit bad taste in people’s mouths. אז, it just makes sense to do it.
Q
What is the big fight out there? You areas the WBA’s regular champion, you are the mandatory for Gennady Golovkin. I want to know if that’s a fight that you’ll consider after this?
ג'ייקובס
בהחלט. That’s the fight that I want. I want the best out there. We tried to make the fight with B.J. סונדרס. We tried to make the fight with a couple other guys. אבל, it just didn’t work. כריס Eubank, ג 'וניור, was another opportunity for us to fight. אבל, he didn’t want no part. אז, even after winning theforgot what title he won because I know I was his mandatory at some point, and he declined. וכו, we want to fight the best, point blank, תקופה. Triple G is the best, and that’s the guy that we want.
Q
What kind of particular stylistic problems you think you’d give Golovkin that he hasn’t seen yet?
ג'ייקובס
I definitely believe I would be the toughest test because I believe I would be the victor in that fight. I definitely believe in my skills and my ability. At one point in my career, the only reason why I said I wanted to wait was so I could get 12 rounds so we can go the full distance and know how we can actually feel in a tough fight for 12 סיבובים. I’ve accomplished that. And then the only thing that was kind of keeping me from making this fight happen earlier was the finance. אז, people saying I was ducking or I was doing a whole bunch of this and a whole bunch of that, that’s far from the truth. I just wanted to be compensated accordingly. And that was it. If we can make these fights happen sooner than later, אני בעד זה. אבל, in the same token, I still would like to be compensated accordingly.
Q
Are you confident that you could get a deal done that would be good for the finances?
ג'ייקובס
I don’t really know too much about that. אני מתכוון, I have a great team. And I leave all those things up to my team. My thing is to stay ready, to be ready, and to perform at my best when I’m inside the ring. אז, whatever the logistics is outside the ring, all I have to do is say, “כן, I’m comfortable with that. And let’s make the fight.
Q
עכשיו, I know you’re a pretty even-keeled guy, but has Sergio got under your skin with all the trash talk?
ג'ייקובס
אה, hell yeah. אני מתכוון, not under my skin to where it would affect my game plan or it’ll affect me inside the ring. לא, it’s just some of the things that he’s said or from the pictures that he’s posted, and that’s what he’s supposed to do. And he’s landed an opportunity at fighting me again. אבל, this is an opportunity that I’m looking forward to. And this is probably for me the first personal fight that I’m entering in with mean intention.
Q –
And a question for Sergio. You’ve been around for a long time. You’ve fought a lot of top guys, like Sugar Shane and so forth. Wherehow would you compare Danny to those guys? And how do you think you’lla guy like you who has such a high boxing IQ, how do you think a rematch would help you?
Mora
Sugar Shane and so forth, and Vernon Forrest, two great fighters. תראה, Danny has his amateur pedigree. And he can fight behind the jab, like he says. And he could beand he can fight on his back foot, as he claims. He says he’s gone 12 סיבובים קשים. I only seen him go 12 one-sided rounds against a guy named Caleb Truax. Those weren’t tough. He doesn’t know what tough is yet. And he isn’t reallyhe hasn’t experienced what it is to be in there with an all-around championship caliber fighter for 12 סיבובים. יש לי. That’s the difference. That’s the difference.
And I feel that, until he experiences that, he still doesn’t know what it is to be an all-around champion, a champion that’s had to deal with getting knocked down, getting up, bad cuts, being down behind them cards, losing on cards going through the final championship round. These are the experiences you can only dream of and hope of. אז, until you experience that, you can’t really say he’s done that. עכשיו, he still needs to learn.
Q
סרג'יו, do you relish having the kind of opportunity to, as you said, teach somebody to be a fighter?
Mora
בהחלט. I relish the opportunity to do great things, אחד. And I think that, if you look back at my career, every time I get a big opportunity, I conquer it, or something like the Shane Mosley thing happens where, למעשה, אני זכיתי, and it was a draw. אבל, the big opportunities, I shine, אחד. And this is just something that always needs to happen, always have to take the hard route. That’s been my career, אחד. I’ve never been the A side. I’ve always been the B side that could compete with the A side.
And this is just another example of that. דני, the young champion looking down on me, subordinating me, making me feel like I’m lucky to get this opportunity, I’ve dealt with that my entire career, אחד. It’s nothing new. I know I’m here over and over, time after time for a reason because I’m that fucking good. וכו, people recognize and realize that. I’ll never get the credit for it. And that’s fine, as long as I keep getting the opportunities and as long as I become a three-time two-division champ.
Q
Tell us about that, how you approach the fight, what you expect to take place, especially in light of the last two fights ending quickly.
ג'ייקובס
ובכן, I don’t really anticipate or expect anything. Boxing is one of those things where anything can happen at any given moment. My thing is I just want to be ready. And when I prepare inside the gym and I’m in tip-top shape, I’m prepared and ready for anything that will come my way inside that ring, whether it’s the first round or whether it’s the last round. It just so happens that these last couple of fights I’ve had been very exciting first rounders. אז, my thing is, as long as I’m able to adjust, I can come and be prepared for anything that comes my way.
Q
What was key in those two fightsto both of those fights starting off with so much activity and so much action?
ג'ייקובס
I think just getting warmed up properly and the backstage, making sure that the flow was going and that you don’t have to kind of warm up in those first couple rounds. Me and my team do a great joband shout out to my team, דרך אגב, who do such a great job with making sure that we’re prepared and ready for each round from the very first to the very end.
Q
And is that going to affect at all your game plan because people have seen those two previous fights, and they’re talking about it. They say, “Maybe this is a guy who is just going to destroy people in the beginning.Is that weighing on your approach at all for this rematch?
ג'ייקובס
Absolutely not. My MO as a fighter is to be a fluent boxer first. It just so happened that the speed and the power that I possess as well kind of hurt guys, and I’m a really great finisher, where actually, my mentality is to go in there and show my skills. That’s what I love about the [מדע מתוק]. I actually love to get behind my jab and put my combinations together and start to get good movements and good angles. Like, I love that stuff.
אבל, it just so happens that, when I’m in there with guys and I’m starting to land good shots, and they get hurt, we just have rounds of the year and first round stoppages and early stoppages, so on and so forth. אז, I’m just happy I’m able to get the victory and finish strong.
Q
ו, סרג'יו, what do you expect? Do you expect this rematch to have this same type of electric start, or how do you prepare for this?
Mora
ובכן, we’re going to go back to Danny’s power. He does have power. And you’re born with power. You can’t teach power. You can’t go in the gym and work on power, or else I would’ve done that 20 שנים. אז, he’s blessed with an ability to punch hard with both hands. And he’s always going to make for exciting fights. עכשיו, he’s also vulnerable because he’s been dropped before. And that’s also on the exciting side. אז, whenever it comes to a guy like Danny Jacobs, you never know what you’re going to get. It’s kind of like fighting a guy like Victor Ortiz, even though I think he’s better all around than Victor. Victor’s exciting. He’s a former champion. He’s a power puncher. אבל, you never know what Victor you’re going to get.
אז, I think that’s the same thing with Danny, only Victor’s fought better opposition than Danny. אז, that’s the difference. אני חושב ש, למאבק הזה, אני לא יודע, אחד. I really don’t know what I’m going to expect. I didn’t expect to go down in the first round. I was surprised by the punch. It was an awkward punch in from a southpaw angle. I believe his right foot was in front. I took a picture a little too long and held the position, expecting a left hook to come, and instead a right uppercut came, which is awkward. And he calls me awkward. That was an awkward punch. אז, כן, אתה יודע מה? הוא הדהים אותי. I got up. I shook it off. And he came for the kill, like I knew he would. And I was able to catch him. I think we both learned that we can hurt each other, and we both learned that we both can be sneaky from certain sneaky positions. אז, I don’t think it’s going to start off with fireworks, like it did the first time. אבל, I think it’s going to end up fireworks. I don’t know if it’s the second, third, or further down the fight. אבל, that’s what I’m expecting.
Q
And would anybody like to make a prediction for this fight, דני?
ג'ייקובס
אני לא עושה את תחזיות. I don’t like to go in there and have any type of thing going in my head where I have to live up to it. I just like to win. And however I win, however it comes, I’m grateful for it.
Mora
If I’m ready, I go in there to win. And I’m ready for this fight. אני בטוח ש. I expect a great performance from both of us. And I expect to become a world champion, a two-time world division champion by the end of this fight. אז, I’m expecting to win. אני לא יודע. אבל, אני הולך לנצח.
מארק אברהמס – אוקיי. ובכן, that’s going to wrap it up. I just want to get everyDaniel and Sergio, just a quick final comment. ואחרי זה, we’ll see you on fight week. דניאל?
ג'ייקובס
I just have a lot of people to thank that I would take this time to thank. ראשית, I would like to thank my team and everyone involved for allowing me to have such a great camp. They’ve put in the necessary work, כולם, team Jacobs, the necessary work that we need to be 100 percent prepared for this fight come9 בספטמבר. I will be proudly representing my Brooklyn Boxing apparel as I’m sporting my trunks and finessing my moves inside the ring.
I want to give a big shout out to Brooklyn Boxing, have been supportive of my whole career. And me being an ambassador, I definitely have to big them up. And Al Haymon, הכי חשוב, Al has been taking care of me. I’ve been the first guy that Al has had directly out of the amateurs to a world championship. אז, I have to give my hattake my hat off to Al and everyone in our team Haymon. And that’s pretty much it, all the promotors and managers involved with this as well, everyone who has made this possible, and thanks for all the fans for all the continued support. תודה רבה.
Abrams
ו, סרג'יו?
Mora
I got to start with Al Haymon because he’s given me not only a second opportunity, third, I’ve already had four opportunities to come back and reinvent myself. And Al Haymon gave me that opportunity. אז, I thank Al Haymon. I’ve got to thank my loyal team, my trainer Dean Campos, who’s been with me since the amateurs, [John Montillado], the rest of my team, my cut man Carlos, ו [Panda Martinez]. And I want to thank my sponsors, [Snac]. Victor Conte’s onboard for this fight. And I’ve never been a fighter that takes supplement. I’m a guy that just tries to eat right and hydrate. And I notice a difference with supplements. And I do it the scientific way. אז, I want to thank the Snac System and Victor Conte. And I want to thank my sponsor Spy Optics. And that’s about it. I want to thank the fans as well formy day-one fans and even my critics, they keep me alive, so thank them, מדי.
ג'ייקובס
כן, you forgot one more person, brother. You forgot one more person, סרג'יו.
Mora
I want thank, מה, דני ג'ייקובס?
ג'ייקובס
זה הכל. That’s my man. That’s my man.
Mora
Go fuck yourself. I see you in two weeks, old boy.
ג'ייקובס
ובכן, let’s do it on 9 בספטמבר. You already know, סרג'יו, אני בא בשבילך, brother. אני בא בשבילך.

LaManna Sees Big Opportunity In Sept. 15 Fight With Dusty Hernandez-Harrison

לשחרורו מיידי
פילדלפיה, הרשות הפלסטינית – סיכוי welterweight תומאס ” פתיתי תירס” Lamanna took time out from training to discuss his much-anticipated שבע. 15 עימות עם מאובק הרננדז-הריסון ב 2300 זירה in Philadelphia and live on רשת CBS ספורט
What are your thoughts on Dusty Hernandez-Harrison?
I think he is better than what people are given him credit for. הוא 29-0-1 מסיבה מסויימת. He has defeated everyone that they have put in front of him
(except the one draw).
How important is this fight for your career?
This is a career-defining fight. The winner gets a world ranking. It is for the USBA title and a spot in the Top 15 (בעולם). This is a big opportunity for both of us. I am zoned in and I will do what I have to do to get the win. It is a huge opportunity. I have a loss and I don’t like that feeling.

You just mentioned that you have a loss. What did you learn from that defeat that will help prepare you for this upcoming fight with Dusty?

The Douglas loss has prepared me for this. Being a headline fighter on television. We will be seen by more people being on CBS Sports Network. I am five fights more mature since my loss. I have been fighting solid competition and I have been more active.

What in those five fights has helped you prepare for this fight?
None of those guys are comparable to Dusty, but I fought guys with different styles and went some rounds with them when people may have questioned my stamina. I fought a rugged guy in Ayi Bruce and a crafty southpaw in Ariel Vasquez. Those guys aren’t killers, but I was getting work in.

What things have you fixed since the loss to Douglas? Did you feel you were overmatched in the fight?

It opened my eyes and it showed me that I needed to fix stuff. My diet and daily living. I was overmatched in maybe size, but I really felt going into that fight that I would beat him.
What are you doing different?
My diet and other things I do when I am not training. I was a middleweight because I was too lazy to drop down in weight. I have made a lot of adjustments.

You started out at middleweight, but you have eased your way down to welterweight. How difficult has that been and what type of advantage does this play into the ספטמבר 15מאבק?

I was always a big middleweight, but strength-wise I wasn’t. Now at welterweight, I am more explosive, מהר יותר, more experienced and now I can dictate the action. This is the first time he (הריסון) is fighting someone bigger than him. He has been fighting smaller guys. He now will have to face punches from a grown man.
The fight was originally scheduled for Atlantic City, where you would have been involved in the promotional aspects of the show. That would have entailed doing a lot of work behind the scenes, which would have taken some time away from training. Are you relieved that the fight is in Philadelphia?
I am thankful for that. I know I would have had to get involved in the promotional aspect and some of the stuff leading up to the fight. To me it doesn’t matter where the fight is. Philadelphia is a neutral ground. As long as there is a ring, it doesn’t matter where it takes place

Why this fight right now?

הגיע הזמן. He has fought one tough guy and if you saw the fight, he lost it (officially a draw with Mike Dallas). I have no doubt in my mind that I will win the fight and maybe even stop him. But it is a great opportunity to get showcased on national television for the USBA title.

The “O” must go in co-feature showdown at “Knockout Night at the D” between Undefeated junior middleweight prospects Rolando Garza & Neeco Macias

בשידור חי שבע. 9 on CBS Sports Network from the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center
לאס וגאס (נִשׂגָב 30, 2016) – In a classic match-up of contrasting styles, רולנדו “Rolaגרזתי ו NeecoThe RoosterMacias will both put their undefeated records on the line in the “Knockout Night at the D” 8-round co-featured event, הִתאַורְרוּת יום שישי לילה, ספטמבר 9, ב רשת CBS ספורט, live from the outdoor מרכז אירועים במרכז העיר לאס וגאס (DLVEC).
The “Knockout Night at the D” סדרה, שהוצג על ידי

and DLVEC, is promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) מבצעים לאגרוף. Hall Of Fame announcers JimJ.R.” רוס ו אל ברנשטיין will call all of the action from ringside, החל משעה 11 p.m. ו / 11 p.m. ו, ברשת CBS Sports.

The 10-round main event pits unbeaten junior welterweights עמנואל “RenegadeRobles (15-1-1, 5 קוס) ו סטיב “הדרקון” Claggett(23-4-1, 16 קוס),promoted in association with Bobby D Presents, for the vacant North American Boxing Association (כמו כן) – United States junior welterweight championship.
Garza and Macias (12-0, 6 קוס), who will be fighting for the vacant WBCUS junior middleweight championship, are exact opposites in and out of the ring. The winner will advance to the next level of competition in the 154-pound division.
A technically sound boxer, Garza had an extensive amateur background as a member of the Mexican National Team, finishing with a 120-12 שיא, before turning pro September 29, 2012. The quiet, unassuming fighter 24-year-old was impressive in his last fight, also at the DLVEC this past יוני 10, in which he dominated previously unbeaten Erasmo Garcia (5-0-1) on his way to an 6-round unanimous decision (59-54, 59-54, 58-56) נצחון.

The opportunity that Roy Jones Jr Boxing Promotions and CBS Sports Network has presented me has boosted my confidence to another level,” Garza said. “I have never been more confident in my skills, my team and training. I’m going to show Las Vegas and the rest of country what my talent brings into the ring. Once Las Vegas witnesses my talent, נלחם בטלביזיה לאומית, no one will be able to turn a blind eye. Not only will this fight put my name out there, but better opportunities will present themselves, and that keeps me motivated.

This fight will propel me into the 154-pound rankings. It’s high risk with an even higher reward: the WBC / US title. My opponent is a brawler; a non-stop, aggressive puncher who moves forward, which will make this fight nothing short of explosive fireworks in the ring.
In the other corner, the non-stop Macias relies on conditioning and an aggressive, always coming forward approach to break down his opponent. The 25-year-old Macias, fighting out of Palm Desert, קליפורניה, unlike Garza, who now lives and trains in Austin (TX), had only 30 amateur bouts having started boxing at the relative advanced age of 21. He did win gold medals at the National Blue & Gold Tournament, as well as Central California Golden Gloves and Desert Showdown. Macias is a showman, playing to the crowd before, during and after fights, crowing like a rooster, always with a broad smile on his face.

Maciaslast fight, also at the DLVE this past אפריל 16, resulted in an action-packed fight against Limberth Ponce(10-2). Never tasking his foot off the pedal, Macias rolled to a win by 8-round unanimous decision (79-73 X 3), earning him a legion of new fans who were in attendance or watched the fight on CBS Sports Network.

Fighters don’t really care who they fight, they just want to fight,” Macias explained why his risking his undefeated record against an opponent who has never loss. “I had a fight fall through so, instead of waiting for another fight, when the opportunity to fight a 9-0 guy came, my coaches watched film of him and we agreed that I’m ready. This is the first time I’m fighting on the ‘Bside, but we’re using that as motivation. I take one fight at a time but I know I’m fighting on TV and need to look good. I want to show everyone that all the hard work has paid off.
I see this fight as my opponent probably having more skill, he’s technically sound and sets up his shots. But our plan is to take him out of his game plan, wear him down and have some fun doing it. My last fight was my first in Las Vegas and first time fighting on national television. It got a lot of notice. I’ve been through all of that now and will be even better prepared for this fight. It’s awesome fighting in Las Vegas on CBS Sports Network!”

ב 28, Miranda will be making her Bellator MMA debut when she steps into the cage on September 16. Since begining her professional career in 2014, Miranda has recorded a pair of wins, both of which came at the expense of opponent Natalia Cristina Silva. In her first career victory, the Brazilian prospect finished her challenger with a second round knockout and followed up the impressive performance with an equally splendid first round rear-naked choke submission. A native of Belo Horizonte, ברזיל, Miranda will look to prove she belongs with the world’s best when she meets her “Bellator 161: קונגו לעומת. Johnson” opponent.

Ducote burst onto the Bellator MMA scene following a second-round rear-naked choke finish of Bruna Vargas at “Bellator 159: קולדוול לעומת. Taimanglo.” The win earned the the 23-year-old Oklahoma native an exclusive contract with the Scott Coker-led promotion, and was her third straight win in 2016 since dropping the opening bout of her young mixed martial arts career. Training out of American Top Team’s affiliate in OKC, “Gordinha” will look to keep the momentum going when she takes on another top Brazilian prospect on September 16.

At 32-years-old, Dickman has quietly climbed the ranks as one of MMA’s most consistent featherweights. After beginning his professional career 5-0, the Las Vegas native continued his hot start, emerging victorious in nine of his first 10 קצוות. The knockout artist will be making his second appearance under the Bellator MMA umbrella, after defeating Thomas Diagnevia brutal third round knockout at “Bellator 154: דייוויס vs. King Mo.” Of his 11 ניצחונות מקצועיים, seven have come by way of KO, punctuated by three first round finishes. “Tricky” enters this fight having won six of his last seven bouts and his last two, as he tries to add to his career total and remain unbeaten since joining the Bellator MMA circuit.

Best known as a submission specialist, the 30-year-old Pineda has spent time with multiple local promotions as well as the UFC during his 33-fight career.
