Premier Boxning Champions – (Photos to be added shortly)
ST. PETERSBURG, FL. (November 21, 2017) – Förre världsmästaren Devon Alexander (27-4, 14 Kos) returned to the ring in impressive style as he dominated Walter Castillo (26-5-1, 19 Kos) on his way to a unanimous decision in the main event of Premier Boxning Champions TOE till tå TISDAG på FS1 ochBoxning Champions på FOX Deportes Tisdag night from The Coliseum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
“This feels really good,” säger Alexander. “I’ve been on a journey that I didn’t expect to go through and I’m thankful to be back in the ring and have my career back.”
Returning to the ring for the first time om två år, Alexander was sharp from the outset, using the skills that made him a two-division champion to befuddle Castillo. Alexander’s jab found its’ range from the beginning and he slowly began to work in straight left hands that he would land frequently to maintain control of the action.
“My coach was telling me to pick it up throughout the fight,” säger Alexander. “The rust got to me a little bit. I know that I can be more active. I really started to feel warmed up later in the fight. I know that I can do way better but I was happy to have this experience.”
I rond två, Alexander scored a highlight reel knockdown of Castillo as he landed a powerful par of straight left hands sandwich around a right uppercut. Castillo continued to try to walk Alexander down and stayed persistent in throwing power punches as much as he could over the course of the fight.
“He kept moving side to side and didn’t really stay in there and fight,” Said Castillo. “I wanted him to run less but I just kept coming forward trying to throw punches. I got dazed a little from the knockdown but nothing bad. That was more about his speed.”
Alexander proved to be too sharp throughout the welterweight affair, consistently avoiding Castillo’s big punches and delivering his own varied and effective attack. Efter 10 rundor, Alexander was officially back in the win column with a unanimous decision by scores of 100-89 två gånger och 96-93.
“I love doing what I do,” säger Alexander. “This is what I was born to do since I was seven-years-old. I’m thankful to be back doing what I love.
“I’m going to talk to my coach and my team and see what we can come up with next. I’m ready to fight anybody out there. I don’t have any cuts so I’m ready. I’m on a journey and I’m thankful to be here.”
The opening bout of the telecast saw unbeaten Miguel Cruz (17-0, 11 Kos) earn a close unanimous decision over David Grayton (15-2-1, 11 Kos) in a competitive welterweight clash.
Both fighters took their time getting started in round one before Grayton broke through in round two and stunned Cruz against the ropes late in the round. Cruz bounced back in round three landing a right hand late in the third round that forced Grayton to tie up and eventually tackle Cruz to the canvas in order to survive the round.
Cruz suffered his first cut of the fight during the round three exchange but fought through the wound under his right eye and dropped Grayton with a jab early in round six to score a crucial knockdown. The intensity of the fight continued into the eighth round when Grayton began to tee-off on Cruz as blood poured from a second cut, this one above Cruz’s right eye.
The back and forth battle continued until the final bell, with both men throwing wildly as the referee attempted to break up the action. Efter 10 rounds all three judges saw the fight in favor of Cruz by the score of 96-93.

In Peterson, he faces another elite welterweight and a two-time world champion. Spence vs. Peterson will bring the heat to Barclays Center on a chilly January 20. This is yet another night in the outstanding run of big time fights on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.”
“Spence vs. Peterson is an intriguing matchup between two elite welterweights looking to reach the top of this marquee division,” sa Tom Brown, VD för TGB Promotions. “Errol Spence is a rising star with his sights set on title unification and the top of the pound-for-pound list, but he’s going to receive a stern test from Lamont Peterson, a multiple division champion whose resume is filled with top class opponents. It’s going to be another fantastic atmosphere at Barclays Center and a great night of fights live on SHOWTIME.”

“My goal is to unify the welterweight division in 2018, but this fight is a true test and Lamont Peterson is a veteran that I definitely will not overlook,” said Spence. “I sparred him in the amateurs and I know what he brings to the table. I have to get through him to achieve my goals and that is what I plan on doing January 20th.”
Peterson (35-3-1, 17 Kos), Washington, D.C., has won titles at 140 och 147 pounds while facing some of the biggest names in the sport, including Danny Garcia, Amir Khan and Timothy Bradley. The 33-year-old won the WBA 147-pound title in his last outing Februari. 18 on SHOWTIME before relinquishing the belt for the chance to challenge Spence. Peterson has won four of his last five outings, twice fighting at Barclays Center. His Brooklyn debut saw him defeat Edgar Santana by TKO in 2014 before dropping a narrow majority draw to Garcia in a 2015 main event in Brooklyn.
“Först ut, I’m happy to be getting back in the ring,” Said Peterson. “I’ve stayed in the gym and I’m ready to go. This is a fight I wanted and as I said before when I became a welterweight, I want to fight the best and make the fights that people want to see. I’m ready to give it my all and give the fans a great show.”

“KO Night Boxing: Guld & Glory” är en presentation av KO Night Boxing LLC., i association med Hartman Arena, och sponsras delvis av Twister Stad Harley-Davidson Metro PCS, Mort’s Cigar Bar ochJimmy’s Egg.
Åtgärden kommer att tejpas leva för framtida vädring på CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 Kos), slåss av Wichita, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 post, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 OS i Brasilien. Hernandez made his pro debut last March. All his fights have been at home, each has been in the main event, and on national television. His fight against Ajtai, emellertid, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ajtai, som är ett år och sex dagar yngre än Hernandez, made his professional debut 2 ½ years ago, and he’s already fought in five title fights.
Hernandez’ amateur pedigree versus Ajtai’s pro experience?
“I feel like I’m already at the level of a lot of top pro fighters,” Hernandez said. The only advantage he has is he’s used to fighting more rounds than I (this is Nico’s first scheduled 8-rounder), but I don’t plan on letting it go the distance anyways.
“I feel blessed to have this IBA title fight opportunity so early in my pro career. It honestly couldn’t come any faster. I do believe it will be special and open a tot of opportunities to fight bigger names once I win this fight. A win should open-up additional title fight opportunities, both overseas and, hopefully, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.”
Ajtai (19-9, 12 Kos) has already had 28 pro slagsmål, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year at Madison Square Garden in New York City to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Zou, fd World Boxing Organization (WBO) mästare Mellanvikt världen. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, Spanien, Tyskland, Ukraina och Slovakien. A trip to America’s heartland doesn’t faze him in the least.
“He will be at home, where everybody wants to fight, but this isn’t a problem for me,” Ajtai explained. “I know he is a good boxer, but I will try to be a bit better December 2nd. When my condition is good, as it is for this fight, nobody likes to fight me.
“Detta är en stor möjlighet för mig. It’s always difficult to beat a good fighter but doing so is real success. Fighting Shiming Zou in only my fourth fight was very nice for me. I want that feeling again in this fight against Nico.”
Hernandez realizes that this fight could be his last at home for a while, due to the lack of quality American flyweights, and that most world-class fighters in his weight class are from Central America, Thailand and Japan.
“I don’t think I’ll have many more fights at home,” Hernandez admits. “I don’t think that will matter too much because I feel more pressure fighting at home than elsewhere. I will miss everyone cheering my name like they do at home. I think I’ll be traveling more to fight bigger names to work my way up the ladder until I’m at the top.
“I think the early rounds in this fight (vs. Ajtai) will be a chess match because, from what I’ve seen, he runs a lot. I feel that once I start landing my body shots, he’ll slowdown in the latter rounds. och, like I’ve said, I don’t plan on this fight going the distance.”
Ajtai, Naturligtvis, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, han kommer att vinna!
“Nico kommer inte vet var jag kommer att vara i ringen,” Ajtai förutspådde. “När han ser till vänster för mig, Jag kommer att gå åt höger; när han försöker hitta mig på höger, Jag kommer att vara på den vänstra. När han vill vila, Jag kommer att lägga fram stans; när han vill slå, Han kommer inte hitta mig.
“Jag har en plan för denna kamp och jag är säker på att han gör också. Men, i ringen, bara en fighter plan kan lyckas. Det kommer att bli en bra kamp, men jag kan inte lova allmänheten att Nico blir vinnaren.”
Hela “Guld & Glory” card will be announced later this week. Alla slagsmål och fighters är föremål för förändring.
