BROOKLYN (Marzo 4, 2018) – Campeón mundial invicto de peso pesado Deontay “El bombardero de Bronce” Wilder retuvo su título del CMB en su séptima defensa con un nocaut en el décimo asalto sobre el retador invicto Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz en un emocionante evento principal de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING el sábado por la noche desde el Barclays Center, la casa de BROOKLYN BOXEO®.
Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) no solo sobrevivió a la prueba más dura de su carrera, sino que también terminó el trabajo de manera espectacular al desatar un feroz 10º asalto redondo a Ortiz (28-1, 24 KOs). Wilder derribó al retador cubano dos veces en la ronda., obligando al árbitro David Fields a detener la pelea en2:05 de la ronda. Mira el video de nocaut AQUÍ.
Oritz parecía que destronaría a Wilder en el séptimo asalto, contraatacando con una mano derecha fuerte que lastimó al campeón de peso pesado del CMB. Ortiz desató una andanada de golpes contra un aturdido Wilder, quien de alguna manera logró mantenerse de pie para cerrar la ronda antes de ser salvado por la campana. Ortiz continuó su asalto a Wilder en el octavo asalto., quien nuevamente logró pasar la ronda.
En la novena ronda, Wilder comenzó a recuperarse cuando hizo perder el equilibrio a Ortiz con una derecha recta.. El único campeón reinante de peso pesado de Estados Unidos estaba firmemente de vuelta en la pelea cuando conectó una fuerte combinación sobre Ortiz para cerrar la ronda., cambiando por completo el impulso de la pelea.
Ambos luchadores salieron fuertes al comienzo del décimo asalto, aterrizar golpes simultáneos que hicieron que cada luchador se tambaleara temporalmente. Pero fue Wilder quien aprovechó el momento, como el nativo de Alabama se abalanzó sobre Ortiz, enviar a su oponente a la lona por segunda vez en la noche con una ráfaga de derechazos. Un aturdido Ortiz volvió a sus pies, pero no pudo resistir un asalto de seguimiento de un Wilder confiado, quien conectó un uppercut que envió a Ortiz a la lona por tercera y última vez.
Tras su tercera defensa exitosa del título en el Barclays Center, un emocionado Wilder habló con el reportero de SHOWTIME Sports Jim Gray sobre la pelea más difícil de su carrera.
“Un verdadero campeón siempre encuentra la manera de volver y eso es lo que hice esta noche,” Said Wilder. “Luis Ortiz definitivamente es un tipo astuto. Dio una gran pelea. Sabíamos que teníamos que desgastarlo. Les mostré a todos que puedo recibir un golpe.
“Me estaba golpeando con esos puñetazos furiosos pero no tenían picadura. Estaba lanzando combos que me hicieron perder el equilibrio. Solo tenía que recuperar mi rango y mis fundamentos.. Y pude hacer eso. Demostré que era un verdadero campeón esta noche.”
Un Ortiz orgulloso pero decepcionado, que estaba al borde de un sensacional paro en el séptimo asalto de Wilder antes de que sonara la campana, También habló con Gray después de la pelea..
“Fue una gran pelea y me desempeñé bien.,” Ortiz dijo. “Pensé que estaba arriba en la tarjeta de puntuación entrando en la décima ronda, pero es boxeo de peso pesado y nunca se sabe lo que va a pasar.
“Casi lo tengo y creo que lo hubiera hecho si hubiera unos segundos más en la ronda.”
Wilder aterrizó Ortiz 98-87, aunque Ortiz tenía una ligera ventaja en golpes de poder aterrizados, 63-60.
En el evento co-estelar de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, José Uzcátegui (27-2, 23 KOs) derrotado Andre Dirrell (26-3, 16 KOs) a través de TKO dos segundos en la ronda nueve, a petición del entrenador de Dirrell, Virgil Hunter. La victoria, lo que convierte a Uzcategui en el campeón mundial interino de peso súper mediano de la FIB, pone al venezolano contundente en posición de luchar por el título de peso súper mediano que Caleb Truax ganó por decisión mayoritaria sobre James DeGale en diciembre.
La pelea del sábado por la noche fue una revancha de la reñida May 2017 fin, en el que Uzcategui fue descalificado por conectar un puñetazo luego de que sonara la campana para finalizar el octavo asalto. En la revancha, Uzcátegui dominó la acción de principio a fin, usando su poderosa mano derecha para preparar el escenario para el asalto fulminante que llevó a la esquina de Dirrell a detener la pelea dos segundos después del noveno asalto. Uzcátegui derrotó a Dirrell 169-141 en golpes totales, incluyendo un enorme 112-51 discrepancia en los golpes de poder aterrizados.
“Me sorprendió un poco que lo detuvieran en el noveno,” Said Uzcátegui. “Dije que sería el tercer asalto que lo noquearía. Tardó un poco más, pero finalmente llegó.
“Creo que fue muy claro en la primera pelea que hice mi trabajo.. En la segunda pelea mostré aún más, así que habrá mucho Uzcategui de ahora en adelante.”
Dirrell, un nativo de Flint, Michigan, encontró difícil lidiar con la extensión y la agresión de Uzcategui.
“He estado allí con luchadores de mucho tiempo antes, pero fue especialmente largo,” dijo Dirrell. “Creo que pesaba un poco más de lo que quería esta noche, pero eso no es excusa. Uzcátegui hizo un gran trabajo.
“Sabíamos que necesitábamos un nocaut. La forma en que iba, necesitaba al menos recogerlo. Me sentí un poco lento y él acertó todos los tiros. Ninguno de ellos realmente duele, pero me golpeó donde se suponía que debía hacerlo.”
En una pelea por el título mundial que aparece en la cartelera, Isla de Long Alicia Napoleón (9-1, 5 KOs) ganó el título mundial de peso súper mediano de la AMB de mujeres vacantes con una victoria por decisión unánime dominante sobre femke Hermans (6-1, 3 KOs).
“Es difícil encontrar palabras para describir esto en este momento.,” dijo Napoleón. “Es tan surrealista que es casi como un sueño. Me alegro de haberlo hecho. Este es uno abajo, pero quedan muchos más. El objetivo es conseguir todos los cinturones.”
Napoleón controló la acción con su poder y destreza atlética superior y tambaleó a Hermans en la ronda final antes de ganar la decisión por decenas de 99-91 y 98-92 dos veces.
“Creo que esto significa mucho para el boxeo femenino., no solo que gané el cinturón, pero donde fui colocado en esta gran tarjeta,” dijo Napoleón. “La gente seguirá viendo y escuchando más y más a las mujeres boxeadoras.”

CITAS FLASH

Deontay WILDER:

“I’m going to let the world know that the weight don’t mean a thing; it’s all mental at the end of the day. Like I’ve said, I’d rather be the part than look the part. I’ve said many a time that I put these guys on their ass, and that’s what I come to do Sábado noche. Over and over again all my guys have out-weighed me. So that’s nothing compared to where I came from, and nothing compared to where I’m going come Sábado noche. You’re all in for a treat and I can’t wait.

 

“On paper he’s looked good against the opposition he’s faced, but he’s never faced a Bronze Bomber; he’s never faced a guy who has more killer instinct than him. He’s never faced a guy who wants to just rip his head off, and I do mean rip his head off!

 

“I am the best and I’m ready to show en sábado night that I’m the best in the world.”

 

LUIS ORTIZ:

 

 

“Our training camp was prepared for whatever Deontay Wilder was going to bring into the ring, whether it was a runner, or a puncher – whatever he wants to do we have trained for it so there’s no problem.

 

 

“You have to adapt and make changes come fight night, and I’m prepared to do that and I’m experienced to do that. I’ve been waiting my whole career to do this as a pro and as an amateur this is something I never dreamed I would do, and I’m not losing mañana."

 

 

Andre Dirrell:

 

 

“I just saw a piece of meat, and I’m hungry.

 

 

“The IBF demanded this. There were two wrongs from the last fight and I was hit after the bell, and he was hit after the bell. The IBF wanted to right that wrong and this is the only way to do so. He deserves this shot and I deserve this shot. It’s going to be a better fight this time around.

 

 

“It’s all about what [new trainer] Virgil [Cazador] has done with my mind. The ability is there, as we all know. We’ve perfected that. And we’ve changed the mind this time, también.

 

 

“We all know that Jose Uzcategui is a fighter in full; that boy can throw, but that’s just not going to be enough come fight night.”

 

 

José Uzcátegui:

 

 

“The ref will not have to intervene; I’ll knock him out quicker this time.”

 

 

“Maybe if Virgil Hunter gets in the ring too because that’s the only way they’re going to win is if the corner gets in the rings. Because that’s the only way they will get the win.”

Esto es lo que los participantes tenían que decir Jueves:
Deontay WILDER
The reason I wanted this fight is not only do I think Ortiz is one of the best technical fighters in the division, but he’s the boogeyman that everyone is running from. Champions have avoided him and I’ve always said I was the best and this is my chance to prove it.
This result isn’t up to anyone but myself. Every time I get under the bright lights, I give the fans what they want to see. This is the best versus the best and that’s what boxing deserves.
I had all the excuses in the world to run away from this fight after he failed the test. There are a lot of good, up-and-coming heavyweights out there, but I wasn’t interested in them. This fight is how I prove that I’m the baddest man on the planet.
“En marzo 3, with all the personal things put aside, it’s going to be an honor to fight Luis Ortiz, man to man and father to father. I know that family is his motivation, just like it is for me, and that’s why I blessed him with this opportunity.
The exciting thing about Saturday night is for everyone to see what I’m capable of doing. Luis Ortiz is determined to get my WBC belt. This is my seventh defense of my title and I’ve enjoyed every one. It’s a lot of responsibility and I take it seriously. You’ll all see en sábado night why I’ve said the things I’ve said.
Everyone knows what I’m expecting Sábado noche. I can’t say it enough. I have knocked every opponent out for a reason. I plan on continuing my knockout streak. That’s what I do and that’s what I’m best at.
This is the best fight right here in boxing that can be made. No hay nada mejor que esto en sábado noche. You have to be here in person, because you won’t want to miss anything. You never know what you’ll see, pero Sábado night will be bombs away.
LUIS ORTIZ
I never say anything bad about fighters because inside the ring, cualquier cosa puede pasar. I respect everyone who steps into the ring. Esta es mi oportunidad. Este es mi tiempo. Deontay is a great champion but this is my chance.
Like I always say, this is my time and it’s going to be a great triumph. This is big for all of Cuban boxing and I will make my country proud.
This is going to be like two trains on the same track about to collide. I’m going to win and I’m going to take his belt.
This is not a video game. This is not using controllers. You have to actually step into the ring with me en sábado noche.
Deontay is scared. He’s talking a lot of nonsense. He’s worried about what I’m going to do. Este es mi tiempo. I’m going to show everyone.
“Estoy 100 percent ready to go. Sparring has been amazing and I’m totally prepared for Deontay Wilder. Deontay’s biggest mistake is that he talks too much.
I looked into his eyes and I knew that I’m not going to lose this opportunity. I’m going to be the first Cuban and the first Latino born outside the country to win a title. Sábado night will be historic.
The public gave me this opportunity to fight for the title and beat you for your belt. I’m going to make the most of my chance and knock Deontay Wilder out.
Andre Dirrell
It was a rocky start for me in our first fight. He caught me with a good shot in the early rounds, but I was able to fight through it. I started to dominate the second half of the fight but he had definitely thrown my game off. I still weathered the storm and made good things happen. This fight is very deserving of a rematch and I’m looking forward to it.
This fight right here is one of the beautiful moments we have in boxing. There were two wrongs that night in the last fight. I’m really happy with everyone who has made this rematch and gave the sport what it deserves.
Now Jose Uzcategui and myself both have chances to prove ourselves again. This is going to be the worst opportunity of Uzcategui’s life. But it will be the best opportunity for me.
This is my opportunity to prove all of the critics wrong this time. I’m not the favorite, and it’s a beautiful thing. I’m going to change every single mind en sábado noche. I’m stepping up to the plate, and I’m preparing to hit a home run.
Virgil Hunter has definitely helped me with my mental game. We’ve worked on a masterful game plan. Virgil is tough to work with but we did all of the necessary things we had to in order to accomplish what we have to en sábado.
The next two years or more will be the best years of my career. I’ve been blessed with an illustrious career. This is a new look for me and I feel good. I have a very tough, hungry fighter in front of me and I can’t wait to prove myself.
José Uzcátegui
We’re not doing anything differently heading into this fight. I’ve put the time in at the gym every day to make sure that the fight ends conclusively this time.
Before I even got to the ring in the first fight I felt some animosity from the referee towards me and it kind of led to what happened in the fight.
Saturday night you’re not just going to see that I’m a boxer-puncher, but you’ll see my full power on display.
I’m happy to be in this rematch. I hope that Dirrell brings action like he’s talking about en sábado. I don’t want to chase him around the ring all night.
I’m ready to accomplish my dreams, and that involves beating Andre Dirrell more decisively than last night and leaving no doubt at all who the better fighter is.
Lou DiBella, El presidente de DiBella Entertainment
Deontay Wilder put everything aside to face one of the greatest amateur heavyweights in the history of boxing. This fight is happening because Deontay is that good and he’s that proud. Deontay is ready to prove that he’s the baddest man on the planet.
There is a sensational off-television undercard beginning at 5:30 p.m. at Barclays Center that includes a group of top contenders and prospects. It’s really a loaded undercard from top to bottom.
That great undercard includes a woman’s title fight involving Alicia Napoleon. Everyone involved in this fight has made an effort to have women’s boxing represented on our cards and I’m proud to be able to deliver that for fans.
This will be Deontay’s third defense of his title in Brooklyn at Barclays Center. He successfully defended against Artur Szpilka and Bermane Stiverne, with two frightening knockouts. I’m proud to work with Barclays Center and promote boxing in Brooklyn. This is certainly one of the best venues for boxing in the world and certainly a venue that is dedicated to bringing the fans consistently excellent programming inside the arena.
This fight is getting the kind of reception that it deserves. If you want to get tickets for Sábadonoche, I would call now because they’re moving fast.
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & Programación de eventos, Showtime Sports Inc.
When we have a fight card like this, the network gets a lot of credit but these fights truly don’t happen unless fighters like Wilder and Ortiz are ready to take the fights.
When we announced our schedule back in January, there was one fight that jumped out to everyone, and it was Wilder vs. Ortiz. They have 67 fights between them, 67 victorias, 0 pérdidas y 62 nocauts. This is part of what we’re calling ‘March Madness’ por SHOWTIME. All four heavyweight titles, the top four heavyweights in the world, including Anthony Joshua vs. Joseph Parker on Marzo 31, facing each other this month on SHOWTIME. There hasn’t been a lineup like that put together by any network in the history of the sport.
The titles are great but these fights are about something else. They’re about legacy. When people look back and ask, ‘what kind of fighter was Deontay Wilder?’ This is the fight that they will talk about. More important than knockouts and unbeaten records, this is why fighters are remembered.
“Dirrell vs. Uzcátegui 2 is good enough to be a main event and they deserve to have a great stage for this rematch. These are the kind of cards that people look back and say, were you there that night? If you’re not watching this card, you’re not a boxing fan. Because this is the best that the sport has to offer.
BRETT Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entretenimiento
I can’t tell you how excited I am for Saturday night. People are starting to realize how viable this sport is and that boxing is a sport on the rise. We’re thrilled to be a part of it
Events like Sábado in Brooklyn are why this sport is thriving. It features a deep card from top to bottom, 50-50 fights and great fighters with magnetic personalities
“Deontay, even though you weren’t born in Brooklyn, we do consider you our own. We’re excited to have Luis Ortiz as well, por primera vez, en sábado noche. This is a card from top to bottom that’s incredible and I’m thrilled to welcome Andre and Jose to Brooklyn.
The seats are moving really quickly and this should be one of the biggest fights we’ve had at Barclays Center. We’re very excited for this show and look forward to seeing everyone there.
