This is the type of marquee bout that has become a hallmark of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, a true 50-50 showdown with high stakes implications.

 

 

 

 

The popular Mexican-American Santa Cruz fights out of Los Angeles and most recently stopped Chris Avalos in October 2017 after a pair of high stakes showdowns against Irish star and two-division world champion Carl Frampton. While Santa Cruz lost a close majority decision in their first matchup, he bounced back in January 2017 to defeat Frampton by majority decision and regain his 126-pound title. Prima di questo, Santa Cruz won belts at 118 e 122 pounds while earning a reputation as one of boxing’s most active and exciting fighters. The 29-year-old also holds victories over Cristian Mijares, Kiko Martinez and Eric Morel and has competed in world title bouts in 14 del suo ultimo 16 combatte da allora 2012.

 

 

 

 

The fans can expect a full-action fight just like the first one, maybe even better,” ha detto Santa Cruz. “I know Abner Mares changed his trainer and Robert Garcia is a great trainer who will bring the best out of him. But we’re also smart and I have a strong team that will bring the best out of me. It will be a great fight once again for the boxing fans in Los Angeles.

 

 

 

 

Nato a Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico and fighting out of Los Angeles, Calif., Madri became a four-time world champion in December 2016 when he dropped Jesus Cuellar on his way to a unanimous decision and another featherweight world championship. Mares most recently scored a technical decision over Andres Gutierrez in October 2017. A Mexican Olympian in 2004, the 32-year-old won his first title in 2011 when he beat Joseph Agbeko to capture the bantamweight crown. He continued to rise in the pound-for-pound list with victories over Anselmo Moreno and DanielPonce De Leon to win world titles at super bantamweight and featherweight. The June 9 bout will be Maresthird contest with World Champion trainer Robert Garcia, who helped Mares to a title-winning victory in their first fight together.

 

 

 

 

It’s been over two years since I fought Leo Santa Cruz and all I’ve been thinking about is redemption,” dette Mares. “Now that I’m with Robert Garcia and his team, you’ve seen the change. If they think I’m going to fight the same way, they are in for a surprise.

CARDIFF, GALLES (Marzo 31, 2018) - Il campione del mondo dei pesi massimi imbattuto e unificato Anthony Joshua è andato lontano per la prima volta nella sua carriera, superando il campione precedentemente imbattuto Joseph Parker in un incontro di unificazione dei pesi massimi sabato su SHOWTIME a Cardiff, Galles.

Joshua, campione del mondo dei pesi massimi IBF e WBA (21-0, 20 KO) ha aggiunto il titolo WBO di Parker al suo mantello con a 118-110, 118-110, e 119-109 decisione unanime prima di un record di presenze al coperto di boxe di oltre 78,000 tifosi al Principality Stadium.

Mentre Joshua è stato l'aggressore in tutto, Parker ha stabilito il suo jab nei primi turni nel tentativo di negare il vantaggio di portata di sei pollici di Joshua. E mentre Parker aveva i suoi momenti, Joshua era più attivo e sferrava pugni più significativi e sembrava sconcertare il neozelandese in una manciata di occasioni.

Nelle gare di campionato, sembrava che il 28enne Joshua stesse andando per il KO contro Parker, che ha mostrato un mento solido nel diventare l'unico combattente a spingere Joshua lontano.

“Non ho intenzione di giudicare la mia prestazione,"Joshua ha detto. "Spetta al mio allenatore farlo. La mia strategia era quella di andare dietro al jab e lo abbiamo fatto. Il buon jab ti porterà in giro per il mondo.

“Attraverso i round 10, 11, 12, Ero concentrato. Sono andato al 12 round e l'ho combattuto duramente, ma è stato un lavoro leggero. Questa è la boxe. Questo è ciò che facciamo. Joseph Parker è un campione del mondo. Sapevo che sarebbe stato determinato. A volte è così che va. Diventa un combattimento di boxe tattico. Si trattava di finezza, e ho controllato dietro il jab e usato finezza.

"Non possiamo dimenticare: ora sono il campione mondiale dei pesi massimi unificato."

Dopo la lotta, A Joshua è stato chiesto dal giornalista di Sky Sports Andy Scott se gli sarebbe piaciuto affrontare il campione del mondo dei pesi massimi WBC imbattuto Deontay Wilder per avere la possibilità di diventare campione indiscusso dei pesi massimi del mondo.

"Cento per cento, 100 cento,"Joshua rispose. "Mi stai chiedendo, voglio diventare il campione indiscusso dei pesi massimi del mondo? Il WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO. Ventuno combattimenti, sei incontri di campionato del mondo. Non sono nel clamore. Mi occupo degli affari. Così, parliamo di affari. Eddie Hearn può parlare con Al Haymon e (Shelly Finkel).

“Proprio come Dillion (Whyte) suddetto, 'WILDER, ANDIAMO, BAMBINO. 'Andiamo. Da questa parte dello stagno, siamo seri. Gran Bretagna, il Regno Unito, stiamo rappresentando. Abbiamo tutti i combattenti, campioni dai pesi massimi fino alle classi di peso inferiore. Ci occupiamo di affari. "

Joshua non sembrava deluso di non essere stato in grado di segnare un KO, ma ha comunque ammesso di non essere soddisfatto del primo incontro sulla distanza della sua carriera.

"Decisamente, non siamo soddisfatti. Un passo alla volta,"Joshua ha detto. “Non siamo ancora i nostri migliori ma siamo all'apice della boxe. Vado sempre nel profondo, sfidare sempre me stesso. Sono pronto per altre sfide. Vedremo cosa c'è dopo ".

Quando viene premuto contro chi vorrebbe combattere, Joshua ha detto, "Wilder. Wilder o Fury,"Facendo riferimento al collega inglese ed ex campione del mondo dei pesi massimi unificato Tyson Fury, che è stato inattivo da allora 2015 a causa di una serie di problemi.

“Prendilo (Wilder) sul ring, e lo metterò fuori combattimento,"Promise Giosuè.

Il ventiseienne Parker (24-1, 18 KO) non ha contestato la decisione in quella che è stata la prima battaglia di unificazione tra campioni dei pesi massimi imbattuti da allora 1987.

"Oggi, Sono stato battuto da un uomo migliore. L'uomo più grande,"Ha detto Parker. “Il mio piano è tornare a casa, lavora duro e torna di nuovo.

“Lavorerei di più. Fai più pugni. Mi piacerebbe un altro tentativo. Avremmo potuto lavorare di più all'interno ma qualunque cosa sia accaduta, è accaduto. Non puoi tornare indietro e cambiarlo.

"Io sono giovane, forte, in forma e pronto a tornare e sfidare di nuovo. Torneremo di nuovo più forti. "

La trasmissione televisiva SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING di sabato si ripeterà stasera alle 10:35 p.m. E/PT su Showtime. Dopo la presentazione del bis di stasera, Joshua vs. Parker andrà in onda Domenica mattina alle 9 a.m. E/PT su Showtime e Lunedi a 10 p.m. E/PT su Showtime EXTREME.

IBF World Title Challenger Emmanuel Rodriguez sends message to WBA Champion Ryan Burnett

 

In Cardiff, Galles, WBA bantamweight world champion, Ryan Burnett ( 19-0, 9 KO ) successfully defended his belt against Venezuelan, Yonfrez Parejo ( 21-3-1, 10 KO ) con decisione unanime.

 

 

 

 

Precedentemente, Burnett was the WBA and IBF world champion, but he vacated the IBF because he decided to face WBA ranked Parejo, instead of facing the hightly touted Puerto Rican boxer, Emmanuel 'Manny’ Rodriguez ( 17-0, 12 KO ), who is IBF top ranked.

 

 

 

 

Now Rodriguez is facing Paul Butler from England for the vacant IBF world title on a date to be announced. Purse bid schedule on April, 3 at the IBF headquarters in New Jersey.

 

 

 

 

Congratulations Ryan Burnett on your victory. You’re lucky for not fighting me for the IBF world title but I guess you’re smart by leaving the title vacant. We know you left the title because you know deep in your heart, that the title belongs to me. I’m always willing to fight you in your house, in front of your people, but I understand that your heart of a champion is having some issuessaid a confident Rodriguez.

 

 

 

 

Burnett saw how I won gold medal at the Singapore Youth Olympic Games in 2010. In that tournament, Burnett also won gold in another category, but I won the ‘Best Fighter Award’”.

 

 

 

 

Now my mind is 100% on Paul Butler who was a former world champion and is a veteran, but after that fight, and if Burnett has some honor left, we can unify belts in front of his people. Burnett has a big fan base that I admire a lot, and they deserve to see the best fighters facing each other”, Ha detto Rodriguez.

Julian Williams Training Camp Notes

Super Welterweight Contender Takes on Nathaniel Gallimore Saturday, Aprile 7 in 154-Pound Title Eliminator Live on SHOWTIME from Hard Rock Hotel & Casinò, Las Vegas

SAN CARLO, COME (Marzo 30, 2018) – Top super welterweight contender Giuliano “J-Rock” Williams will look to put himself closer to another world title shot when he faces Nathaniel Gallimore in a 154-pound world title eliminator Saturday, Aprile 7 live on SHOWTIME from Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas.

 

 

 

The Premier Boxing Champions event is headlined by Erislandy Lara, the longest reigning world champion at 154-pounds, clashing with undefeated champion Jarrett Hurd in a highly anticipated 154-pound world title unification bout. La trasmissione televisiva Showtime Championship Boxing inizia alle 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and also features super middleweight world champion Caleb Truax in a rematch against former champion James DeGale.

 

 

 

The 12-round IBF title eliminator gives Williams a chance to earn a second world title fight, while it would be Gallimore’s first shot at the title. Gallimore has been outspoken in his belief that he will stop Williams, but Williams has chosen to not let the words affect him and focus on the task at hand.

 

 

 

I have no reaction to the talk coming from Gallimore,” ha detto Williams. “He’s trying to draw attention to himself and doing it in a classless way. If he wants a back-and-forth, he’s going to be talking to himself.

 

 

 

He seems like he’s a strong fighter, but you never really know until you step in the ring with a guy. He’s on a hot streak, he’s a big puncher and obviously he has a lot of confidence. We thought this would be a good test and I think it’s going to be a great fight for the fans.

 

 

 

Williams is currently finishing up training camp at the SNAC gym in San Carlos, California with trainer Stephen Edwards. In addition to work in the first part of training in Philadelphia with DeCarlo Perez and Jaron Ennis, he has sparred with the likes of Peter Quillin, Prenice Brewer and Joey Spencer in California.

 

 

 

I’ve been coming out to California for parts of camp since 2014 and it’s really just something that gives me a bit of a spark heading into the fight,” ha detto Williams. “There are some elevation and recovery aspects of training that we can do out here. It’s also a good way to get away from things and really dig to another level.

 

 

 

Williams has been on the road back to title contention after dropping his first title shot to Jermall Charlo in 2016. Williams knew that he did not need to revamp his entire game and has recovered with victories over former champion Ishe Smith and Joshua Conley leading into this fight.

 

 

 

I thought I was doing well in the Charlo fight so I never pushed the panic button after it didn’t go my way,” ha detto Williams. “Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. The plan was always to improve each fight and each day in camp, so that’s what we’re still doing. We’ll see on April 7 if it’s enough.

 

 

 

With an opponent who enters this fight on a seven-fight knockout streak, Williams knows he will have to use all of his physical and mental skills to pull out the victory.

 

 

 

It’s going to be up to me what this fight looks like,” ha detto Williams. “In the ring you have to be mature. I can’t get drawn into the kind of fight that he wants. If I stay focused, I should dominate him.

 

 

 

I’m never going to look past anybody. I know that there’s nothing I can do in my future in this sport if I don’t beat Gallimore. I’m ready to go in there and look impressive on April 7.

"È un peso perfetto per il combattente che sto per affrontare domani perché è agile e veloce. Ho abilità di boxe e posso controllarlo, ma penso che più sono leggero e più potrò eguagliarlo per velocità. "

 

 

 

Parker, che farà la sua terza difesa da campione, ha preso atto del peso più leggero di Giosuè.

 

 

 

"(Il peso di Joshua) mi fa pensare che stia prendendo molto sul serio la lotta,"Ha detto Parker. "Non c'è molta differenza di peso, che è buono. Penso che domani sera saremo entrambi veloci. Ci muoveremo entrambi bene e lanceremo delle grosse bombe.

 

 

 

“Ho visto fiducia in Joshua. È un buon campione. Ho visto la fiducia, quindi mi aspetto una lotta davvero buona. "

 

 

 

L'americano Steve Weisfeld, Il neozelandese Ian Scott e il britannico Steve Gray sono stati assegnati come i tre giudici che hanno segnato dal ring. Il terzo uomo sul ring sarà l'italiano Giuseppe Quartarone.

 

 

 

"Non sono preoccupato per una decisione,"Ha detto Parker. "Abbiamo fatto tutto il possibile in allenamento per prepararci. La cosa più importante per me è la sfida di combattere qualcuno come Joshua. Se va in un luogo buio, per quanto tempo resterò lì? Quanto velocemente posso tornare?

 

 

 

"Sono qui per una bella battaglia. Sono qui per una guerra. Dovrai dare tutto per battermi. "

 

 

 

L'enorme evento globale sarà guardato in più di 215 territori in tutto il mondo, una cifra di distribuzione che è alla pari con alcuni dei più grandi eventi di boxe della storia.

 

 

 

"Devi ricordarlo anche se sono il campione mondiale dei pesi massimi, c'è un'altra cintura per cui sto combattendo. Nella mia mente, Sono uno sfidante,"Joshua ha detto. “Rottami le cinture. Sto sfidando per il campionato mondiale dei pesi massimi WBO. Questo è quello che sto cercando di fare e questo è il mio modo di pensare. Ho fame. Sono determinato. Sono disposto ad andare lontano o sono disposto a correre dei rischi e portarlo fuori presto. Voglio solo assicurarmi quella vittoria in un modo o nell'altro ".

 

 

 

Questo sarà solo il file 11th unificazione nella storia dei pesi massimi. I precedenti vincitori delle unificazioni includono Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis e Wladimir Klitschko. L'ultimo combattente a vincere l'unificazione tra campioni imbattuti è stato Mike Tyson 1987.

 

 

 

“Queste vittorie stanno creando la storia,"Joshua ha detto. “Questo tipo di lotta in cui due campioni imbattuti si incontrano è storia. L'ultima persona a vincere è stata Mike Tyson trent'anni fa. Se vinco, Non ne ho parlato molto, ma a condizione che ottenga questa vittoria, stabiliremo la storia in ritardo 2018. Diventerò il campione mondiale indiscusso dei pesi massimi ".

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from Wild Card Boxing Club:

 

James DeGale

 

 

 

“Campo di addestramento è stato fantastico. I rushed back from my shoulder injury in my last fight. I couldn’t believe I lost my title and I could only blame myself. I’m lucky to have this chance to make it right and regain my title.

 

 

 

I’m injury-free now and physically ready for this fight. Più importante, I’m mentally ready for this challenge and I can’t wait to get in the ring.

 

 

 

I learned that you can’t rush fitness. I had a reconstructive surgery and I came back far too quick. I learned my lesson the hard way. Now I have to get it back the hard way.

 

 

 

Fighting in Las Vegas is another dream come true. So many great fights have been there and I just can’t wait. The atmosphere and the vibe will be special. I’m going to put on a fantastic performance and regain my title.

 

 

 

Caleb Truax is not on my level. I’m miles above him. Nell'aprile 7 I’m going to show everyone why and show everyone what I’m all about.

 

 

 

As soon as the doctor said that some athletes come back after six months from my injury, I was determined to fight in 2017. Everyone can see that I was slow in the ring. I was ashamed of my performance. It was embarrassing and I’m looking to erase that onApril 7.

 

 

 

I’ve watched the first fight with Truax a couple of times but it’s very tough because I know that’s not me in there. For the past six weeks I’ve felt so much better. My jab is sharp again and everyone will see that when I become a two-time world champion.

 

 

 

Truax has tasted what it’s like to be a world champion. He’s going to be hungry and have that burning desire to beat me. Alla fine della giornata, I’m just too good for him and I’m going to prove it. I have to make a statement.

 

HUGO CENTENO JR.

 

 

 

I’m feeling great right now. The rib injury was somewhat a blessing in disguise. It gave me a training camp for my training camp. Once I came back from the injury I was already in great shape. I feel great and I’m not depleted whatsoever. Sono 100 percent mentally ready for this fight.

 

 

 

I was disappointed at first because I wanted this fight to happen so badly. I had a chance to regroup and talk with my team and they put me on the right direction. I’ve had a great camp and I believe everything happens for a reason.

 

 

 

I don’t pay attention to anything people are saying about Charlo. I’m staying focused because I know that this fight can change my whole career. Sono pronto per vincere.

 

 

 

Charlo is a strong fighter. A lot of fighters stand in front of him but he’s also a great boxer. I feel like I have those same attributes that he has. It’s going to be a chess match and a great fight.

 

 

 

We have to see who the smarter fighter is on April 21. I know Charlo says he’s going to knock me out in one round, I’m not planning to let him do that. If I get my opportunity, I’m going to take it and I’m going to hurt him.

 

 

 

I learned from my loss that I can’t underestimate anyone in this sport. I’ve stayed in the ring and worked the whole time since the loss and it’s shown. Getting that big knockout over Immanuwel Aleem was a great moment and has helped catapult me back to the top of this division.

 

 

 

This is the kind of fight I’ve looked forward to since I was seven years old. I’m just a kid from a small town trying to make his dream come true. Now the moment is finally here.

 

NATHANIEL GALLIMORE

 

 

 

I’m not worried about the IBF belt right now. I’m worried about Julian ‘J-PebblesWilliams on April 7. I see a lot of things from Williams. I see fear and I don’t think he’s totally there mentally. He should have taken harder fights before this one. This is the wrong fight for him.

 

 

 

 

I’ve had seven knockouts in a row and this is going to be eight. It’s nice to stay active and be able to jump on an opportunity like this when it presents itself.

 

 

 

It’s always important to put on a good show for the fans. I’m a showman. I give the fans what they want. All action.

 

 

 

 

It doesn’t matter where I fight, Sarò pronto. I’m excited to go back to Las Vegas. This is my third time fighting there and I’m planning on making it 3-0.

 

 

 

 

This is a new training camp. I’m working in Los Angeles with John Pullman and Buddy McGirt. The weather is good out here and I think everything is going in my favor. I love the atmosphere out here.
