NOTE NEW START TIME: SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL Begins At 3:30 p.m. AT/12:30 p.m. Sa SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook At SHOWTIME Sports YouTube

BELFAST (Agosto 14, 2018) – Lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and former two-time heavyweight title challenger Francesco Pianeta faced off on Tuesday in Belfast during the final press conference for their 10-round heavyweight bout this Saturday from Windsor Park. The second comeback fight of the former unified champion will stream live exclusively to U.S. audiences on the SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page and SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel beginning at 3:30 p.m. AT/12:30 p.m. PT (please note new start time). SHOWTIME will air an encore presentation later that evening on SHOWTIME EXTREME® (10 p.m. ET / PT).

 

 

 

Fury vs. Pianeta will serve as the chief support of Carl Frampton’s interim featherweight title defense against undefeated contender Luke Jackson on the pitch at Windsor Park, where an expected 30,000 fans will witness the first boxing event at the home of Northern Irish football.

 

 

 

Studio coverage of SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL from New York begins at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT with host Brian Custer and Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood providing pre-and post-fight analysis. Live coverage from Belfast, which will be provided by BT Sport, will begin with the Pianeta ring walk shortly after 3:30. U.K. sportscaster John Rawling will call the action with Barry Jones providing analysis, and Ronald McIntosh conducting post-fight interviews for Fury-Pianeta.

 

 

 

The former IBF, WBA and WBO champion Fury (26-0, 19 Kos) returned to the ring in June and will fight for the second time in less than 75 days following a nearly three-year layoff. Prior to his extended hiatus, the 6-foot-9 Fury established himself as the premier heavyweight boxer in the world by becoming the first man to defeat Wladimir Klitschko in more than 11 taon.

 

 

 

Planet (35-4-1, 21 Kos), a 6-foot-5 southpaw who fights out of Germany, has twice challenged for the heavyweight world title. Pianeta faced then-unified champion Wladimir Klitschko in 2013 and lost in a bid for a secondary title against Ruslan Chagaev in 2015.

 

 

 

Here’s what the fighters had to say at Europa Hotel in Belfast on Tuesday:

 

Tyson Fury

“The old Tyson Fury is gone. The Tyson Fury from three years ago and beyond is finished. Hayaan ng mukha ito, we all move forward in life with age and experiences and I’m not looking to dwell on the past. I’m looking to live for today and improve on who I am tomorrow. The new Tyson Fury is here now and my promise is to put on a good fight. Whether that’s better or worse than the old Tyson Fury, we’ll find out on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“What you’re likely to see from me on Saturday is a heavyweight Sugar Ray Leonard. Anything less is a failure.

 

 

 

“I do want to win a world title again so I have to raise my game. I’ve been out of the ring for three years nearly. It’s an uphill battle to lose the weight I’ve lost. It’s been challenging and a long, hard battle to get back to where I am.

 

 

 

“I study my heavyweights and I know Francesco has fought some very good men. He had a very good winning spree, siya ay 28-0 when he fought Klitschko. I’m not underestimating Francesco. I know he’s a very big, strong fellow and he knows if he wins this fight then he can go on to fight (Deontay) Wilder instead of me. It’s all to play for.

 

 

 

“In heavyweight boxing, if you take your eye off the goal for ten seconds you’re out of there. Alam ko kung ano ang inaasahan, I expect him to bring his ‘A game’ and he’s going to try to knock me out because that’s what they all do. Sana, he’s not successful and we put on a great show and entertain the fans.

 

 

 

“If I come through this, then Wilder has a chance to fight me for the lineal championship. I’m not the one who gets the chance to fight him. Hayaan ng mukha ito, he hasn’t really fought anybody. Siya ay may 40 fights and it is what it is. We’re not here to talk about Wilder at all. It may as well be a million years in the future, I’ve got to concentrate on this man in front of me. I’m sure he wants to take my glory away from me.

 

 

 

“I’ve made all the right sacrifices. I trained really well, ate right, slept well and I had four or five sparring partners that were all southpaws. If I do what I think I can do, then I’ll impress, put on a good show and win the fight. If I don’t do what I think I can do, then I’ll get chinned in about ten seconds and it will be, ‘See you later Tyson Fury and hello Francesco Pianeta.’

 

 

 

“Southpaws are a lot more awkward because there’s less of them in the division. You don’t get too much work with southpaws other than when you’re fighting with them. It’s hard to get southpaws to spar in training because there aren’t many heavyweight southpaws around the world. But I do have one interesting fact, every southpaw amateur or professional I’ve ever faced I’ve knocked out. That’s not good for Francesco.

 

 

 

“To be a two-time heavyweight champion is all right. It’s not great because there’s been plenty. To be a three-time heavyweight champion, it’s been done before. So I think I want to set a precedent of being a five-time heavyweight champion without losing a fight. That’s my goal. I always aim for the stars and set big targets.

 

 

 

“If I can beat Francesco Pianeta on Saturday night, I’ve beaten another boxer. Big deal. But if he beats me, he’s going on to something very big. It would be life-changing for him. It I can’t beat Francesco, then I’m going nowhere.

 

 

 

“I think I’m the greatest heavyweight that’s ever been born, so I should handle Francesco Pianeta. And whoever else is out there, Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua, all the bums out there.

 

 

 

“It’s very easy to win all the belts back. I’ve only got to beat two bums, talaga. Wilder and Joshua and that’s it. They both haven’t got a brain cell between them so it shouldn’t be too hard for a great boxer like myself.”

 

Ben Davison, Fury’s Trainer

 

 

“Everything is good with Tyson. It’s good that he’s getting straight into the ring again. It’s been a good progression since the last fight and everything is perfect. We’re just ready for Saturday night. You can’t do anything more from now.

 

 

 

“He’s lost a good amount of weight since the last fight. Akin, there’s only a certain level of fitness that you can get to and Tyson runs on two very good engines anyway. There’s never been any worry with that.”

 

Francesco Pianeta

 

 

“I’m going to give my best and I’m looking forward to the fight. It’s an honor for me to box in front of such an audience.

 

 

 

“I have a high opinion on Tyson. I was very impressed with his win over Klitschko, I rate him very highly. He says that he’s knocked out every southpaw he’s ever faced, but we’ll see if he is able to do that Saturday night.”

Ruben Villa Returns to Action Aug. 24 from Omega Products in Corona, ANG GANOONG AS

Mag-iwan ng komento

Piladelpya, Penn.. Orange, Ca. (Agosto. 14, 2018) – Ruben Villa (12-0, 5 Kos), one of the rising talents in the featherweight division, takes to the ring for the fourth time this year on Biyernes, Agosto. 24 mula sa Omega Products International in Corona, Calif.

 

 

 

The southpaw from Salinas, Calif. battles well tested veteran Jose Santos Gonzalez (23-6, 13 Kos) of Mexico in the “Locked n’ Loaded” 8-round main event.

 

 

 

Villa, 21, has fought veterans before, specifically Ernesto Guerrero and German Meraz. The seasoned Gonzalez poses a threat in the sense that he’s been in the ring against current bantamweight title holder Zolani Tete, and unbeaten contender Duke Micah.

 

 

 

“These are the types of fights that help you grow into a better fighter,” said Villa, who is managed by Danny Zamora. “We have a smart game plan in place. I’m naturally bigger than him so we’ll use that to our advantage.”

 

 

 

Villa, a two-time national Golden Gloves champion, is coming off an impressive sixth round knockout of Ricardo Lopez in June. The talented featherweight showed off his finishing ability by out boxing Lopez until the knockout moment presented itself.

 

 

 

“I was landing solid punches in every round,” remarked Villa after the fight. “I knew I would be able to take him out. I wore him down and in the sixth, I just let me hands go and I caught him with a lot of heavy punches.”

 

 

 

Villa is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.

 

 

 

All fights will be live streamed on TB Presents: Locked n’ Loaded via Thompson Boxing Facebook page and ThompsonBoxing.com.

 

 

 

The livestream starts at 8:00 p.m. PT / 11:00 p.m. ET with Beto Duran as the blow-by-blow announcer and Steve Kim providing expert, color commentary.

PUMUNTA DITO PARA SA PROMO VIDEO: https://atom42.app.box.com/s/8kugvkgvxt9ktn9ml4kx6pxj5qz21eo0

 

 

 

Frampton (25-1, 14 Kos), nakikipag-away sa bahay sa Belfast, ay dating World Boxing Association (WBA) featherweight at super bantamweight champion, pati na rin International (IBF) sobrang bantamweight world title na may hawak, sino ang 5-1 sa fights mundo pamagat, 7-1 kumpara sa kasalukuyan o dating kampeon sa mundo. Natalo ni Frampton ang mga kampeon sa mundo na si Steve Molitor – isang katutubong Canada – Kiko Martinez (dalawang beses), Hugo Fidel Cazares, Scott QUIGG, Leo Santa Cruz at Nonito Donaire.

 

 

“Kung gumanap siya sa kanyang makakaya at gumanap ako sa aking makakaya,” Sinabi ni Frampton tungkol kay Jackson, “Kinakatok ko siya, simple ng ganun. Dahil sa isang knockout ako. Hindi ko pa natatumba ang sinuman sa medyo matagal na. Nakikita niya na siya ay isang kumpletong underdog at walang presyon sa kanya. Sinusulat siya ng mga tao. Makakatulong iyon sa mga mandirigma. Kapag wala silang inaasahan sa kanilang balikat, maaari silang pumunta at gumanap sa kanilang balat.

 

 

 

“Tiyak na hindi ko kinukuha kahit papaano si Luke Jackson. Nagawa ko na iyon dati laban kay Alejandro Gonzalez at napunta ako sa likuran ng dalawang beses sa unang pag-ikot. Natuto ako sa laban na iyon. Ako ang mas mahusay na manlalaban at pakiramdam ko malusog at matalim. Naniniwala akong isa ako sa pinakamahusay na sinusuportahang mga mandirigma sa planeta at pababa sa masigasig na tagahanga ng palakasan ng Hilagang Irlanda.

 

 

 

“Gusto kong maging kampeon sa mundo ulit. Kung matalo ako sa laban na ito natapos na ang aking karera, iyon ang totoo, ngunit hindi ko balak na mawala ito. Ang tagumpay laban kay Jackson ay nagtatakda ng isang potensyal na sizzling showdown kasama ang isa pang manlalaban na may napakalaking base ng fan, Josh Warrington, ang bagong kampeon sa IBF featherweight mula sa Leeds. Dinidilaan na ang mga labi sa pag-asang iyon.”

 

 

 

PANOORIN ANG BONUS FRAMPTON FIGHT, MAAARING Biyernes, Agosto 17 SA SUPER CHANNEL SA DEMAND, UPANG MAGHanda SA BIG FIGHT

 

 

 

Ang naghaharing WBO Oriental featherweight champion, Jackson (16-0, 7 Kos) kinatawan ng kanyang katutubong Australia sa 2012 Olympics. Naniniwala ang nagagalit na si Jackson na tapos na si Frampton.

 

 

“Sa buong pisara,” ang matalino na Australyano ay nagsalita tungkol sa Frampton, “ngunit sa palagay ko hindi siya kasing ganda niya dati. Sa unang laban kay Leo Santa Cruz ay nag-box out siya sa kanyang balat at karapat-dapat na manalo, ngunit hindi na siya ganoon ang hitsura mula noon. Si Carl ay napakahusay na manlalaban na gumagawa ng mabuti sa lahat, ngunit sa palagay ko hindi siya gumagawa ng anumang mahusay. Igalang ko sa kanya bilang isang mandirigma, Iginagalang ko siya bilang isang tao, ngunit darating ako upang bugbugin siya, hindi pumupunta upang maging kaibigan.

 

 

 

“Hindi ko alam kung gusto niya na tawagan ko siya na isang Hall of Fame fighter o ang pinakadakilang, ngunit sa palagay ko hindi siya. Napaka-beatable niya, at sa palagay ko kaya ko siyang talunin, simple ng ganun.”

 

 

 

Rosales (27-3, 18 Kos), nakikipaglaban sa labas ng Nicaragua, Gagawin ang unang pagtatanggol sa pamagat ng mundo ng titulong na-capture niya noong Abril sa Japan, nang pigilan niya si Daigo Higa sa ikasiyam na round.

Ang naghaharing WBO Intercontinental flyweight champion, Barnes (5-0, 1 KO) Maglalaban din sa bahay sa Belfast sa harap ng kanyang madamdaming fan base. Isa sa pinakamagaling na Irish amateur boxers sa lahat ng oras, Si Barnes ay nakikipaglaban para sa isang pamagat sa mundo sa kanyang ikaanim na palaban sa propesyonal. Nagwagi siya ng dalawang tanso na medalya (2008 & 2012) sa kanyang tatlong paglalakbay sa Olimpiko, pati na rin ang ginto sa 2019 European Championship.

 

 

 

“Ito ang laban na tumutukoy sa aking karera sa boksing,” Inangkin ni Barnes. “Mayroong mahusay na mga nakamit bilang isang baguhan kasama ang mga medalya ng tanso ng Olimpiko, ngunit pangatlo lamang iyon sa mundo, kung saan ay malaki. Upang maging pinakamahusay sa buong mundo sa iyong timbang, ang kampeonato sa WBC sa mundo ay tiyak na ang mananalo. Naging mahusay ako bilang isang baguhan at maaalala ako ng mga tao para sa kung ano ang aking nakamit, ngunit ang isang pamagat na propesyonal sa mundo ang talagang gusto ko. Ipagpapalit ko ang lahat ng aking ginawa bilang isang baguhan upang mapanalunan ang laban na ito.”

 

 

 

Dalawang iba pang kapanapanabik na laban sa “Frampton vs.. Jackson” kard, bilang karagdagan sa naunang nabanggit na pangunahing kaganapan at co-tampok, eksklusibong ipapalabas sa Canada sa Super Channel.

Cocoa Kid, John Harris, Bill Gore, Brian Clark, Angel Vazquez & Don Trella

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (Agosto 13, 2018) – The Connecticut Boxing Hall of Fame (CBHOF) has announced its six-member Class of 2018 to be inducted during the 14Ika annual CBHOF Gala Induction Dinner on Saturday night, Oktubre 13, sa Uncas Ballroom sa Mohegan Sun.

 

 

 

The new CBHOF inductees are boxers Cocoa Kid at Angel Vazquez, judge Don Trella, and trainers John Harris, Bill Gore at Brian Clark.

 

 

 

Minsan pa,” CBHOF president John Laudati nabanggit, “the Connecticut Boxing Hall of Fame has elected a fantastic class of inductees. We are excited about the historical significance of inducing Cocoa Kid, the great fighter from the 1930’s. Our other honorees come from across the state. We hope to see a large contingent come out to congratulate a great local boxer, Angel Vasquez, and to celebrate the life of Willie Pep’s famous trainer, Bill Gore. This class also includes two other incredibly accomplished trainers, Bill Clark, of New Haven, and John Harris from Fairfield County. Don Trella, who is from my hometown of Waterbury, is one of the best boxing judges in recent history. It promises to be a great night for the entire boxing community: inductees, their families and friends, pero, pinaka-mahalaga, our Connecticut boxing fans!”

 

 

 

Cocoa Kid (56-20-2, 48 Kos) came to prominence in 1933, when as an 18-year-old he registered a shocking upset of former world featherweight champion Louis “Batang kambing” Kaplan, who was inducted into the CBHOF charter class in 2005. Cocoa Kid, who settled in New Haven, captured the New England welterweight and middleweight titles. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2012 and passed way in 1966.

 

 

 

Considered one of the hardest hitting featherweights of his era, Vasquez won his first 21 pro fights and finished his pro career with a 22-2 (16 Kos) talaan. The Hartford native captured the WBO Latino, NABA and USBA featherweight titles. The highlight of his pro career came at home in Hartford, when he defeated previously unbeaten Berbardo Quinones (19-0-1) for the USBA crown.

 

 

 

Trella has been a boxing official for the past 21 years on the local, national and global scenes. He officiated more than 500 amateur bouts before he was awarded his first professional license in 2001 sa Mohegan Sun, where he has been employed the past 17 years in various Human Resources positions, currently holding the title of Director of Employee and Guest Experience. A resident of Noank, Trella is highly regarded as one of boxing’s best judges. Nakaraang taon, for example, he officiated three of the most high-profile fights in the world: Gennady Golovkin vs. Danny Jacobs, Vladimir Klitschko vs. Anthony Joshua (higit sa 90,000 fans in attendance at Wembley Stadium in London) and Golovkin vs. Canelo Alvarez.

 

 

 

Harris established himself as the preeminent trainer in Fairfield County, founding the Meadow Gardens Boxing Club in 1989, which was later renamed the John Harris Boxing Club, after he died in 2012 sa edad na 85. A native of Cleveland, where he fought in the Golden Gloves, Harris lived most of his life in Norwalk. The highlight of his career was in 1993, when he trained four fighters who qualified for the National Golden Gloves Championships, kasama Travis Simms, a CBHOF Hall of Fame inductee and two-time World Boxing Association (WBA) junior middleweight world champion.

 

 

 

Gore is best known for training the great Willie sigla, who was also inducted into the CBHOF charter class, to a pair of world featherweight championships. Gore, gayunman, also trained another all-time great, world light heavyweight champion Bob Foster. A native of Providence, Gore died in 1978 sa edad na 84 and he was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2008.

 

 

 

Clark opened the Ring One gym in New Haven nearly 30 years ago to keep kids off the streets, producing many amateur champions, and even one light heavyweight world champion, Chad Dawson. Often bankrolling the gym, siya mismo, Clark has become an icon in New Haven, where his gym is in one of the city’s roughest neighborhoods. Ring One is believed to be the oldest continuously operating boxing gym in Connecticut.

Garcia dictated the action, but the judges did not see it that way as two of the voters saw the fight even at 76-76 and a 3rd judge had it 79-73 for Garcia.

Moon used quick combination that scored well over the second half of the fight that swelled the left eye of Brooker.

Moon, 167.9 lbs of Marieta, GA won by scores of 78-74 at 77-75 twice to raise his record to 8-1. Brooker, 169 lbs of Philadelphia is now 13-6.

Poindexter Knight remained undefeated by winning a six-round unanimous decision over Gregory Averil Young in a welterweight bout.

“I am ready to get out there, and put on a show,” said Wilson. “After the crowd sees me, I want the them to say that kid is special.”

“Cleveland is known for producing a lot of boxing talent, but many of those fighters never got an opportunity. When I scouted Fred as an amateur, he was as talented as they come. I told him and his dad, I will get him that opportunity, and Fred has not disappointed me as he has worked very hard in the gym and his record shows that by staying undefeated,” Said David McWater, CEO of Split-T Management

Live Streaming Undercard Coverage From Barclays Center
On SHOWTIME Sports Social Media Platforms Precedes
Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter Welterweight World Championship

New York – Agosto 9, 2018 – Amanda Serrano will fight for a world title in a sixth weight division on Saturday, Setyembre 8 sa Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™. Brooklyn’s Serrano will face Yamila Esther Reynoso for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight World Championship. If successful, Serrano will set a women’s boxing record as a six-division world champion, joining Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya as the only boxers, lalaki o babae, to reach the mark.

SHOWTIME Sports will live-stream Serrano vs. Reynoso as part of undercard coverage on the network’s social media platforms. SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN begins live at 7 p.m. ET / 4 pm. PT on the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page. The live stream precedes a three-fight SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast (9 p.m. ET / 6 pm. PT, Showtime) headlined by Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter for the welterweight world championship.

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN, the network’s seventh social media offering of live boxing in 2018, is available to all domestic users with internet access. The livestream is hosted by Ray Flores with Chris Mannix serving as analyst.

Serrano (34-1-1, 26 Kos), who is already the only woman to win titles in five weight classes, is looking to best her personal record. Born in Carolina, Puerto Rico and representing her hometown of Brooklyn, Serrano has won titles from 118 sa 135 pounds, earning her the No. 2 ranking on the BWAA’s inaugural women’s pound-for-pound list. The 29-year-old is also the only Puerto Rican – lalaki o babae – to capture world titles in five different weight classes and will look to build on that record against Reynoso. She fights for the fifth time in her career at Barclays Center on September 8 with a chance to once again make history again in front of the passionate fan base of Puerto Rican boxing fans in New York.

“I’m super excited to be fighting for a world title in my sixth weight class,” Said Serrano. “My opponent is really a welterweight, having defended her Argentinean 147-pound title by knockout in her last fight, and is dropping down one division to face me. I am coming up four divisions for this shot. I’m sure Reynoso will rehydrate back up to her natural weight after the weigh-in, but this is a risk worth taking. She’s never been stopped either, so I know she’s durable. This is a tremendous card to be a part of with Garcia vs. Porter as the main event. Aking tagataguyod, Lou DiBella, has big things lined up for me, and I am eager to take on all challenges.”

Reynoso (11-4-3, 8 Kos), of Buenos Aires, Arhentina, has challenged for world titles at 140 pounds at 154 pounds. The 22-year-old has most recently campaigned at welterweight, where she held the Argentina 147-pound title, and will be moving back down in weight for her third shot at a world title. Reynoso, who will make her U.S. debut on September 8, has recorded all eight of her knockouts inside of five rounds.

“I’m very happy to be training for such a great opportunity for this WBO world title against a terrific champion in Amanda Serrano,” said Reynoso. “I am coming ready to give Serrano a real fight, and I look forward to capturing the title belt.”

“Amanda Serrano is one of the best pound-for-pound female boxers and one of the best boxers in the world, panahon,” Sinabi ni Lou DiBella, Pangulo ng DiBella Aliwan. “She is also now a two-sport athlete, embarking on her MMA career earlier this year. Sa boxing ring, Serrano is a record-breaker, becoming the only female boxer to win world titles in five weight classes, and on September 8, she will attempt to break her own record, vying for a sixth division championship. I’m thrilled that the world will get to see Serrano make history once again with the bout being a part of the SHOWTIME live stream online.”
