NUEVA YORK (Mayo 19, 2018) – Josh Warrington became the new IBF featherweight world champion by upsetting Lee Selby in a split-decision victory. The bout was streamed live to U.S. audiences via the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page from Elland Road Football Ground in Leeds, REINO UNIDO. Los jueces anotaron la pelea 116-112, 115-113 y 113-115.

 

 

 

Warrington (27-0, 6 KOs), from Leeds, used the energy of the home crowd and established control of the fight from the onset. He was the more aggressive fighter, catching Selby with a clean left hook to the jaw and an equally powerful right hand in the second round. In the same round, Selby, who was making the fifth defense of the IBF title that he earned in 2015, suffered a substantial cut above his left eye from an accidental headbutt. The cut would plague him for the remainder of the fight. En los asaltos intermedios, Warrington continued the barrage to the head of Selby, who was taken to the corner in the sixth round for inspection after a second accidental headbutt but was allowed to continue.

Selby (26-2, 9 KOs), of Cardiff, Gales, showed the experience and skills that made him champion in the later rounds despite the blood flowing down his face. He was able to regain his composure, establish his jab and land several impressive combinations, doing enough to earn the win in the eyes of one judge. But in the eyes of Warrington, who becomes Leeds’ first ever world champion, it was clear who the victor was. (Haga clic en AQUÍ to watch Warrington’s reaction to victory)

 

 

 

“I can’t put into words how I feel. I got into the ring tonight with the expectation of the city on my shoulders,” said Warrington. “I outboxed the boxer tonight.

 

 

 

“I’m overcome with emotion. We worked on gameplans but that all went out of the window and it was sheer grit and determination and this crowd got me through tonight.”

 

 

 

Following Carl Frampton’s victoria sobre Nonito Donaire mes pasado, Warrington’s victory was the second of four high-stakes featherweights’ fights in quick succession on SHOWTIME platforms featuring seven of the consensus top-10 ranked featherweights, incluidos tres campeones mundiales y cuatro ex campeones de varias divisiones.

Steele spoils Upsher’s comeback bid

Pittsburgh, Pensilvania…. “Right idea, wrong fight”, those were the words of Dallas welterweight, Jonathan Steele who gained his 8th victory as a professional on WFC 87 at Meadows Racetrack and Casino. Steele, who entered the ring en sábado con 9 fights under his belt squared off against the seasoned veteran, Steven Upsher, 25-5-1(6kos), who was attempting a comeback bid in front of his hometown crowd.

Steele dominated the fight from the opening bell, banging Upsher to the body, which ultimately led to the 31 fight veteran to quit in the 5th round of their scheduled 8 asaltos.

We took the fight on a two week notice. My initial fight on May 18th was canceled, and Upsher’s opponent pulled out at the last minute. I didn’t care what his record was, or who he fought. I knew he had never faced a guy like me before.Steele added.

The 27-year old former United States Marine is managed by Dallas based boxing manager, Adrian Clark.

PUERTO NACIONAL, Maryland. (Mayo 17, 2018) – WBC campeón mundial de peso pluma Gary Russell Jr.. y el mejor contendiente invicto Joseph “JoJo” Díaz Jr. fueron cara a cara el jueves en la conferencia de prensa final dos días antes de entrar al ring May 19 en vivo por SHOWTIME (10:05 p.m. ET / PT) en el evento principal de MGM National Harbor en Maryland.

 

 

 

La batalla entre los 2008 U.S. El olímpico Russell Jr. y la 2012 U.S. Olímpico Díaz Jr. es parte de una transmisión televisiva de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING en un sitio dividido que contará con el campeón mundial de peso semipesado del CMB Adonis Stevenson defendiendo su título contra el campeón mundial de dos divisiones Badou Jack en un evento principal de Toronto.

 

 

 

Las entradas para el evento, que es promovido por TGB Promotions en asociación con Golden Boy Promotions, están a la venta y están disponibles visitandohttp://mgmnationalharbor.com/.

 

 

 

Ambos luchadores fueron acompañados en el escenario por sus padres quienes también los entrenaron., con Gary Russell Sr. y Joseph Diaz Sr. sentado junto a sus hijos antes del enfrentamiento del sábado. Esto es lo que los participantes de la conferencia de prensa dijeron el jueves desde MGM National Harbor:

 

GARY RUSSELL JR.

 

 

 

“Somos 120 porcentaje listo para la noche de la pelea. Tenemos hambre. Mientras tenga esta correa, nadie entra aquí y se lo lleva. Sé que Díaz va a aportar lo mejor de sí mismo a la mesa, pero estamos listos. La correa se queda en casa.

 

 

 

“Mis hermanos pequeños Gary Antuanne y Gary Antonio y yo estamos en la cartelera y van a mostrar el trabajo que han estado haciendo.. El cumpleaños de nuestro papá es el día después de la pelea, así que sabes que tenemos que hacerlo especial para él..

 

 

 

“Es genial que tanto yo como 'JoJo’ are trained by our fathers. Because at the end of the day, when you look at your coach, that’s your last line of defense. When everything else goes wrong, you have to go the corner. You have to have a level of trust and belief in your corner, so who better to have than a parent there?

 

 

 

It’s difficult for me to know if ‘JoJois my toughest opponent since Vasyl Lomachenko because I never train with a lot of worry about my opponents. I think that the biggest thing is preparing myself to the best of my ability and being the best that I can possibly be.

 

 

 

I believe in my ability to make the necessary adjustments, no matter what my opponent brings to the ring. If he wants to come in and box, Estamos igualmente cómodos en el boxeo de largo alcance, ya que estamos haciendo que la pelea sea dura.. Para ser genial en cualquier cosa, tienes que tener un nivel de versatilidad. Eso es algo que traigo a la mesa que muchos luchadores no traen.

 

 

 

“Díaz se abrió camino en las filas para conseguir esta pelea. Hizo todo lo que tienes que hacer para ponerte en posición de luchar por un título mundial. Ya mencionó que soy el mejor peleador de la división y sabe que todos los demás campeones de la división tienen miedo de dar un paso al frente y competir contra mí..

 

 

 

“Cualquier luchador que tenga dos meses o más para prepararse para un oponente es definitivamente peligroso.. Nunca pasamos por alto a nadie. Creo en la velocidad de mi mano, mi poder de golpe, mi general de anillo y en mi capacidad para hacer ajustes.

 

 

 

“Si podemos superar esta pelea, Me encantaría subir al ring y unificarme con cualquiera de los otros campeones de peso pluma.. El momento es perfecto en este momento para cualquiera de estas luchas de unificación.. Si todavía no lo quieren, Estoy dispuesto a subir de peso para conocer a cualquiera de los chicos que tienen un nombre. Es hora de que suceda.

 

 

 

“Me quito el sombrero ante él y su equipo por tener las agallas de subir al ring. Solo hay ciertas personas que pueden estar hechas para este deporte y dice mucho sobre él como individuo.. No espero nada menos que un oponente digno.

 

 

 

“Es un placer estar aquí para esta pelea cerca de mi ciudad natal.. Tuvimos un campo de entrenamiento muy largo y todo se siente bien de cara a la pelea.”

 

JOSEPH DIAZ JR.

 

 

 

“Está aquí y a la vuelta de la esquina. Estoy muy emocionado por el momento de estar aquí. He estado esperando esto toda mi vida y no voy a dar nada por sentado.. Entrené extremadamente duro para esta pelea.

 

 

 

“Creo absolutamente que Gary me está ignorando. Creo que me subestimó. Me he entrenado para esto toda mi vida. Esta oportunidad me ha sido presentada por mi arduo trabajo y es realmente la oportunidad de mi vida.. No puedo esperar para mostrarles a todos mis habilidades y lo que realmente soy.

 

 

 

“Todo es cuestión de tiempo. Gary tiene las manos más rápidas en el boxeo, pero hemos visto muchas cintas y vemos muchas fallas.. Todo luchador tiene defectos. Solo vamos a capitalizar lo que vemos y aprovechar al máximo el sábado por la noche.

 

 

 

“No creo que Gary no haya peleado desde el año pasado será una ventaja.. Quiero Gary Russell Jr.. para estar en su mejor momento ven a la noche de la pelea. Sé que estoy en mi mejor momento y el mejor hombre debería ganar la noche de la pelea. No debería haber excusas después de esta pelea y después de que gane el título..

 

 

 

“Creo que después de ganar este título el sábado por la noche estaré en la cima del trono en la división de peso pluma.. Ojalá pueda tener grandes peleas poco después de eso..

 

 

 

“Estoy preparado para todo lo que me va a ofrecer.. Él va a salir y boxear un poco y buscar usar su jab., create angles and use his speed to keep me out of range. It’s going to come to the point where he’s not going to want to move as much and he’ll starting fighting on the inside. That’s where I want to be. We’re going to deliver some great blows and may the best man win.

 

 

 

I know what Gary Russell Jr. brings to the table. I know he’s the toughest fighter in the division but I’m ready to go out there and bring back the WBC title. I’m ready to fight the best and unify all the titles.

 

 

 

It’s going to be fireworks on Saturday night. I’ve had a perfect training camp and I’m on weight. Everything feels great and I can’t wait to step into the ring.

 

 

 

I’m ready for anything. Si se detiene temprano o se aleja, Voy a seguir presionando cada ronda más que la última.

 

 

 

“Significaría todo para ganar este título mundial. No solo para mi, pero para toda mi familia. Todo el trabajo duro y las luchas por las que hemos pasado, finalmente está aquí. Voy a hacer todo lo que pueda para salir victorioso. Nuestras vidas van a cambiar y voy a inspirar a los jóvenes y a las personas que me rodean.. Quiero que la gente sepa que si te lo propones, todo es posible.”

 

GARY RUSSELL SR., Padre de Russell & Entrenador

 

 

 

“La razón de la inactividad es solo política.. Siempre tenemos la intención de pelear pero queremos encontrar el mejor oponente para Gary.. "JoJo’ es obligatorio, así que vamos a pelear con él y después de obtener esta victoria, we’re looking at Leo Santa Cruz, Abner Mares, Carl Frampton. We want to unify.

 

 

 

Before Gary retires from the sport, he’ll move up and do whatever it takes to get a rematch with Lomachenko.

 

 

 

We like to say that this is just Gary’s occupation. He gets paid to fight and he’s able to support his family because of that. All of the accolades don’t really mean anything to him or to us. The WBC belt is definitely the most prestigious, but like Gary said, we’re not really into the little trinkets. He would take it to the pawn shop if he could. We’re not really into those type of accolades. We just want to conduct ourselves as gentlemen, set an example and get paid.

 

JOSEPH DIAZ SR., Diaz’s Father & Entrenador

 

 

 

It’s a blessing to be in this position. Realmente creo que Dios no nos trajo tan lejos solo para traernos tan lejos. Realmente creo que el viaje va a continuar. Estoy muy orgulloso de mi hijo. Ha trabajado muy duro y ha demostrado mucha voluntad y determinación.. Significa todo el mundo para mí que él está siguiendo su carrera y está haciendo algo que le encanta hacer.

 

 

 

 

“Es emocionante tener finalmente una pelea en la costa este. Es hermoso aquí afuera. Joseph ha querido pelear aquí y ahora tiene la oportunidad de conocer a algunos de los fanáticos que tiene aquí y que no ha tenido la oportunidad de conocer..

 

 

 

“Russell Jr. es un luchador rápido. Él es hábil e inteligente allí. Hemos estado trabajando en la sincronización de Joseph. Joseph es un poco engañoso porque se mueve un poco lento, pero en realidad es mucho más rápido de lo que la gente cree.. La velocidad de Russell no nos afecta en absoluto. Joseph ha practicado y peleado con luchadores rápidos, especialmente en los aficionados..

 

 

 

“El plan es entrar y golpear a Gary Russell. Y esperamos que esta victoria establezca peleas más grandes y mejores con Santa Cruz y Selby's del mundo.. Todos los campeones. Esperamos tener algunas de esas oportunidades porque atraerá mucha atención al mundo del boxeo.. Joseph será un muy buen embajador del deporte del boxeo.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Presidente Deportes & Programación de eventos, Showtime Network Inc.

 

 

 

“Estamos encantados de estar aquí en MGM National Harbor. MGM es una marca increíble que significa mucho en el boxeo. Es una marca que es conocida en todo el deporte al más alto nivel y agradecemos a toda la organización MGM y su apoyo al deporte..

 

 

 

“Gary Russell Jr.. vs. "JoJo’ Díaz, que es un enfrentamiento excepcional. Gary es sin duda uno de los peleadores más hábiles, si no el más hábil, en cualquier división.. Es conocido por tener las manos más rápidas del deporte.. "JoJo’ Díaz es una joven estrella en ascenso a quien conozco personalmente desde que se convirtió en profesional.. Estos son dos luchadores de acción. Son luchadores amigables con los fanáticos que ofrecerán una noche llena de acción..

 

 

 

“Han sido un par de semanas interesantes en el boxeo. Muchos anuncios, nuevos emprendimientos y grandes promesas. Pero aquí en SHOWTIME seguimos haciendo lo que hemos estado haciendo, y lo que hemos estado haciendo es ofrecer los mejores luchadores, las peleas más grandes, semana tras semana y mes tras mes.

Plant City, Florida (Mayo 16, 2018) – Fire Fist Boxing Promotions’ William “Baby Face” Silva will challenge undefeated Olympian Teofimo Lopez in a ten round lightweight contest Saturday, Julio 14 at the Lakefront Arena at the University of New Orleans.

 

 

 

Silva-Lopez opens a Top Rank promoted ESPN telecast headlined by New Orleans’ own Regis Prograis, 21-0 (18 Nocáuts), against Argentina’s Juan Jose Velasco, 20-0 (12 Nocáuts), for the WBC interim junior welterweight championship.

 

 

 

Hailing from Sao Paulo, Brazil and fighting out of Plant City, Florida, Silva has an outstanding professional ledger of 25-1 con 14 nocauts. En su combate más reciente, Silva shutout Rogelio Casarez to capture the IBO Continental and NBA World lightweight championships.

Widely regarded among America’s best young fighters, Lopez is a perfect 9-0 con 7 triunfos por nocaut. En mayo 12, Lopez demolished once-beaten Vitor Jones Freitas in 64 segundo.

Mares and Garcia put media through a workout of their own before Mares stepped into the ring to show off his skills. Here is what Mares and Garcia had to say Tuesday from the Robert Garcia Gym:

 

Abner Mares

 

 

 

“Me siento muy bien en este momento. I’m strong and in really good spirits. I feel like I’m going to be peaking at the right time. I’m on weight and on track for fight night.

 

 

 

I have to be a poised and relaxed Abner Mares on June 9. I can’t go in with the same exact mentality as last time and try to knock Leo’s head off. Tengo el poder, but I’m not a one-punch knockout artist.

 

 

 

I trained well for the first fight but I got tired toward the end of the fight. I got desperate and frustrated at times and it took a toll on my body. Now we’re here and I’m happy to have my chance at redemption.

 

 

 

I’m confident because I have such an experienced trainer in my corner. I’m just trying to be the student to his master teachings and absorb everything he tells me. I’m always asking him to push me and tell me when he needs more from me.

 

 

 

The difference between our fight in 2015 and now is that I’m a more mature and seasoned fighter. I’ve been in this sport a long time, and now with having Robert Garcia in my corner, he’s really helped my mental game and given me great guidance.

 

 

 

There’s no doubt that Leo and myself will both train hard and be ready physically for fight night. This fight won’t be about physical strength, it’s going to be about the mental tools we have and the ability that we both have to adjust during the fight.

 

 

 

We knew last time and we know going into this fight that Leo is a volume puncher. He comes forward and tries to tire you out. But I know that he’s also a vulnerable fighter and I just have to take advantage of it this time.

 

 

 

There’s nothing to say right now, the talking between me and Leo is going to take place in the ring on June 9. I would just tell him to be ready for the best Abner Mares.

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Madres’ Entrenador

 

 

 

This is probably the biggest fight of Abner’s career and the biggest since me and Abner have teamed up together. This is a fight that Abner wanted very badly and as his trainer, I want this win badly.

 

 

 

We know that this isn’t going to be an easy fight. But the way that Abner has been training and the way that he follows instructions, it’s going to make a big difference in his performance June 9 compared to the first fight.

 

 

 

I was at the first fight and I thought that Abner looked for big single punches too much and fought too rough of a fight. He made it harder on himself. It was still a very close fight despite that.

 

 

 

With a little more speed and by fighting smart going in and out, Abner could make a huge leap in his performance this time out. We know we have to look to throw combinations and break Leo down.

 

 

 

We’ve been getting sparring partners that are a little taller and throw a lot of punches and the results have been great. Abner just has to be in shape to 12 rondas, because Leo is a fighter that finishes as strong as he starts. We can’t perform for eight rounds and then tire out because there’s a chance Leo comes on strong and puts us in trouble.
