Uncasville, Conn. - Agosto 16, 2020 – David Benavidez kept his unbeaten record intact after 23 fights with a dominating performance against Alexis Angulo in the main event of an exciting night of boxing live on SHOWTIME Saturday night from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

No canal Showtime Championship Boxing® tripleheader card, the 23-year-old Benavídez (23-0, 20 KOs) – who lost his WBC world title belt on the scale on Friday – scored a stoppage victory against the former world title challenger Angulo (26-2, 22 KOs), whose corner threw in the towel after the 10th redondo.

“I rate myself a solid eight,” Benavidez said. “I could have done some stuff better, but overall it was a great performance. I didn’t want to go too fast and leave myself exposed for some big shots. He’s a heavy puncher. But like I said, I like to do the stuff that nobody has ever done. Nobody has ever stopped him and I’m pretty sure nobody is ever going to make him look like that again. I demolished him from round one to round 10.”

A seven-year pro at the age of 23, Benavidez landed 56 percent of his power punches in the fight and averaged 29 de 70 punches thrown per round. Benavidez closed the show by landing a career high 54 punches in round 10.

Colombia’s Angulo, agora lutando fora de Miami, Fla., entered his second world title opportunity riding a three-fight winning streak, but was unable to come counter anything Benavidez threw at him.

Benavidez said he was disappointed and embarrassed by not making the 168-pound weight limit on Friday. “Everything everyone said about me is true,” Benavidez said. “I should be a professional and come in on weight, but this time I couldn’t do it. It’s my first time not making weight in eight years of being a professional.”

“I really have to talk to my promoter to see what’s next,” Benavidez added. “I’ll fight anybody to get back to the spot I was. You could see by this performance tonight, I could put on a great performance against anybody and people will pay to see that. I’m probably going to go right back into training camp to make sure I don’t miss weight.”

No co-main event, rising lightweight Rolando “Rolly” Romero (12-0, 10 KOs) scored a controversial unanimous decision over previously fellow unbeaten Jackson Maríñez (19-1, 7 KOs) to capture the interim WBA Lightweight Title. Os escores foram 115-113, 116-112 e 118-110, all in favor of Romero.

The story of the fight was Maríñez’s reliable jabs as the Dominican fighter won the battle in that department (14 percent compared to Romero’s 10 por cento). It was Romero, contudo, who held the advantage on power punches connecting on 24 por cento (31 de 228) comparado com 18 percent for Maríñez (72 de 401).

“I don’t think I had a bad performance,”Disse Romero, who confidently predicted a brutal knockout would end the bout in his pre-fight comments. “I thought I won the fight. Regardless of everything, I’m the world champ now. Estou feliz. "

Romero suffered a slight cut above his left eye in the ninth round on a head butt, but it didn’t seem to affect his performance in the championship rounds. “He came out a little bit tougher and slicker than what I thought,” Romero said. “But all he did was move around the entire fight. He didn’t even try to engage. It’s hard to knock out someone who doesn’t try to engage. I hurt him multiple times with body shots and a few hooks. There was one moment I hurt him with a right hand and he pulled my head down. It was just hard to finish him off.

"Sim [I would give him a rematch]. He didn’t do anything special.”

Maríñez, de 29 anos, who holds the WBA’s No. 6 posição, is trained by Robert Garcia, who was not present in the Maríñez’s corner electing not to travel cross country from his Southern California home.

“That was pure robbery,” Maríñez said. “I won the fight. I out-jabbed, out-boxed him. You could tell he didn’t think he won the fight right afterwards. It’s a robbery.”

Na luta de a cerimônia de abertura, heavyweight contender Otto Wallin recorded a TKO at 2:32 of the fifth round against Travis Kauffman, who re-tore his left labrum at the start of the fifth round and was unable to lift his arm. Referee Michael Ortega signaled the end of the fight and afterwards Kauffman announced he was retiring from boxing, just days ahead of his 35th aniversário.

Wallin, de 29 anos (21-1, 14 KOs) who had a four-inch height advantage over Kauffman, said he felt for the injured Kauffman, but was dominating the fight. “I was breaking him down. I had a lot left,” Wallin said. “Too bad he hurt his shoulder in the end, but I was breaking him and hitting him with good clean shots.”

Wallin looked sharp in his return to the ring for the first time since he nearly defeated Tyson Fury in September 2019. Ele desembarcou 12 jabs per round and 54 percent of his power shots throughout the fight. Currently living in New York City and originally Representing his native Sundsvall, Suécia, Wallin had former champion Joey Gamache in his corner for the bout.

Both fighters have recovered from injury in the recent past, as well as the COVID-19 virus. “I didn’t feel anything from COVID,” Wallin said. “I had great training. I was sick in March, but COVID didn’t hit me very hard. I was lucky. Lamento por todos que perderam suas vidas devido a COVID.

“Eu quero voltar para Nova York em seguida e relaxar um pouco. Eu venho treinando há muito tempo, quase um ano. Por isso, quero relaxar um pouco e espero poder lutar novamente até o final do ano. ”

Kauffman de 34 anos (32-4, 23 KOs) da leitura, Pa., estava lutando pela primeira vez em cinco anos e sete lutas sem seu treinador Naazim Richardson, que morreu inesperadamente no mês passado. Após a luta, Kauffman disse que estava se aposentando do boxe.

"Eu rasguei meu lábio esquerdo me preparando para o [Luis] Luta ortiz,”Kauffman disse. “Como um manequim, Esperei cinco meses para fazer uma cirurgia depois da luta com Ortiz [Dezembro de 2018]. Comecei a me sentir melhor e ia fazer uma luta de ajustes em março, mas então COVID aconteceu. Esta oportunidade apareceu e eu não queria perdê-la e me senti bem. Na primeira rodada eu machuquei. eu senti, mas então ele foi embora e eu pensei que talvez fosse apenas minha mente e foi embora. Então, na quinta rodada eu ouvi e foi isso. Foi rasgado novamente.

"Terminei. Estou me aposentando. Eu tenho filhos. Eu tenho feito isso há muito tempo,”Kauffman disse.

“David Benavídez procurará manter seu histórico perfeito intacto, continuar a exibir seu potencial de superstar e cimentar ainda mais seu posicionamento na divisão empilhada de 168 libras,”Disse Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promoções. “Como um campeão mundial invicto, Benavídez pode esperar um forte desafio de Alexis Angulo, que deve criar um evento principal cheio de ação em SHOWTIME. Combinado com uma batalha de pesos leves invencíveis famintos em ‘Rolly’ Romero e Jackson Maríñez, além de um slugfest peso-pesado entre Otto Wallin e Travis Kauffman, isso se transforma em outra, não pode perder uma noite de ação de alto risco. ”

“Vai ser ótimo estar no canto de David‘ El Bandera Roja ’Benavídez na noite da luta,”Disse Sampson Lewkowicz da Sampson Boxing, quem está se recuperando de uma cirurgia recente. “Eu me sinto tão bem e tão forte e realmente não posso esperar para estar lá para apoiar o mais jovem campeão dos super-médios da história.”

O evento é promovido pela TGB Promotions e Sampson Boxing. O Romero vs. A luta de Maríñez é co-promovida pela Mayweather Promotions.

Benavídez de 23 anos (22-0, 19 KOs) defende o cinturão após derrotar o bicampeão dos super-médios Anthony Dirrell em setembro, parando-o em nove rodadas. Benavidez é treinado por seu pai José Sr., ao lado de seu irmão e ex-desafiante ao título, Jose Jr. Em 2017, ele se tornou o mais jovem campeão dos super-médios na história do boxe ao derrotar Ronald Gavril no SHOWTIME em apenas 20 anos.

“Já se passou quase um ano desde a última vez que lutei, então, estou muito ansioso para voltar ao ringue e dar aos fãs uma grande luta,”Disse Benavídez. “O acampamento de treinamento tem sido incrível. Felizmente, meu pai abriu sua própria academia pouco antes da pandemia, então, tivemos treinamento privado e pudemos trazer com segurança parceiros de treino para me ajudar no trabalho. Estou enfrentando um lutador muito complicado e resistente, então eu o estou levando muito a sério. Sinto que posso aproveitar algumas aberturas na defesa dele e buscar o nocaute como faço em todas as lutas ”.

Nasceu em El Bordo, Colômbia e agora lutando para sair de Miami, Fla., Angulo (26-1, 22 KOs) entra em sua segunda oportunidade de título mundial em uma seqüência de três vitórias consecutivas, incluindo dois triunfos sobre lutadores invictos. Angulo parou Reinaldo Gonzalez em 2018 em sua primeira luta desde a derrota na decisão do então campeão dos super-médios Gilberto Ramirez no início daquele ano.

Uncasville, Conn. - Agosto, 2, 2020 – Angelo Leo is the new WBO Jr. Campeão mundial peso pena. The 26-year-old Mayweather Promotions fighter dominated Tramaine Williams en route to a unanimous decision live on SHOWTIME Saturday night from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. in the network’s first live boxing event since March 13. Leo won by scores of 117-111 e 118-110 duas vezes.

Leão (20-0, 9 KOs), who was originally scheduled to face Stephen Fulton, Jr. in the main event of Saturday’s card presented by Premier Boxing Champions before Fulton tested positive for COVID-19, used a dominant body attack and consistent pressure to overwhelm Williams (19-1, 6 KOs), who stepped up from the co-main event to face Leo. Albuquerque’s Leo had a 248-196 edge in punches landed while landing 39 por cento de seus golpes de energia. 102 da sua 248 connects were body punches.

Leão, who was ranked WBO’s No. 2 junior featherweight going into the fight, is now expected to defend his title against Fulton, Não classificados. 1 pela WBO, within the next 180 dias.

“It still hasn’t sunk in yet, it just feels surreal,” said Leo. “The first few rounds I was just feeling him out, getting his timing, getting the feel of him. I felt him kind of loosening up and breaking down, and that’s when I started putting the pressure on him a little more.

“That was the key factor in this fight, the body work and the pressure. I’m pretty sure Albuquerque is celebrating tonight. I think they have four world champions, because you can’t exclude Holly Holm. You have Johnny [Tapia], Danny [Romero], Holly and now me. There’s four champions in that city and I think I’ve made history there.”

Fulton, who watched the fight on television while quarantining following his positive test, was interviewed following the fight by SHOWTIME host Brian Custer.

“Congratulations to Leo, he did it,” said the Philadelphia native. “But listen, I’m ready for him. I’ve been ready. Just be ready to face me when it’s time. That’s all I’ve got to say.”

Na luta co-featured, a WBA Super Bantamweight Title Eliminator, 122-pound contender Ra’eese Aleem (17-0, 11 KOs) kept his undefeated record intact via TKO over late replacement Marcus Bates (11-2-1, 8 KOs). Aleem was originally scheduled to face Williams before Fulton’s positive test. This was a rematch of a 2018 bout in which Aleem won by unanimous decision.

The 26-year-old Bates suffered an injured right wrist and battled through the pain for several rounds. Prior to the start of the 10th redondo, Bates’ corner and referee Gary Rosato warned the fighter that the bout was in danger of being stopped. Em 2:18 da rodada 10, Bates grimaced in pain and turned his back on the action, causing the fight to be stopped. Aleem dominated from the opening bell, out-landing Bates 193-86 in total punches, Incluindo 71 landed body shots.

Com a vitória, Aleem sets himself up for an opportunity for a 122-pound title fight.

“I would love to fight either the winner of the main event or any current world champion – Akhmadaliev has two of the belts,” said the Las Vegas-based Aleem who was born and raised in Muskegon, me. “Brandon Figueroa, Rei Vargas, or the winner of this one. It doesn’t really matter who but I want the strap.

“I didn’t know his hand was hurt, I thought he was just shaking it just to try to get me to look at it and distract me. I didn’t worry about it.”

Na luta de a cerimônia de abertura, undefeated light heavyweight Joe George (11-0, 7 KOs) scored a stunning ninth-round stoppage of Marco Escudero (10-2, 9 KOs) in a rematch of their November ShoBox showdown that saw George win a heavily-debated split decision. Watch KO HERE: https://twitter.com/ShowtimeBoxing/status/1289744838745882624.

Desta vez, George left no room for a controversial decision. Em 3:00 of round number nine, George caught Escudero with a vicious left uppercut that sent Escudero flat on his back in a candidate for KO of the Year. No momento da interrupção, George was behind on two of the judges’ scorecards, 79-73 e 77-75, and ahead on one judge’s card, 79-73. Prior to the one-punch KO, George was getting out-landed 127-89 by Escudero, and Escudero held a 2-1 edge in punches thrown.

“I was setting him up with the jab to the body, I had him leaning over a little,” said Houston’s George, que virou 31 na sexta-feira. “I was shooting the right uppercut, some landed and some didn’t. I wanted him to get comfortable and relaxed, and that’s exactly what he did. He was relaxed and I slipped over and just shot it. He gave it to me and I had to take it. It put him down.

“The result is self-explanatory. I don’t have to say nothing. I’m willing to fight whoever next. One fight at a time and I’ll be prepared for whatever’s on the way.”

Telecast de sábado do SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, the first of a nine-event television lineup taking place over the next five months, will replay on Monday at 10 p.m. ET / PT no Showtime EXTREME.

Split-T Management’s Christopher Pearson ready for anyone at 160 ou 168 lbs.

NOVA IORQUE (Julho 28, 2020) – Surging middleweight contender Christopher Pearson is ready for a breakthrough performance against any of the top names at 160 ou 168 divisions.


Pearson of Trotwood, Ohio, is managed by Split-T Management, and he recently moved to San Antonio, Texas, tem um registro de 17-2, and is riding a three-fight winning streak which includes a win over former Olympic Bronze Medal winner and undefeated Yamaguchi Falcao.


Pearson, who trains in Los Angeles under world-championship trainer Manny Robles, has already begun preparations for his next assignment.


I started training down here in San Antonio at Jesse James Leija’s gym. I just moved down here, and it took a minute to find a gym, but once the gym opened, this is a great place to be. I will go to Los Angeles on July 30th and start with Manny,” said Pearson.


Pearson, who began his career with 13 vitórias consecutivas, feels that he is a stern challenge for anybody at middleweight or super middleweight.


I am looking to fight the best in those two divisions,and solidify myself as the best in the sport. I feel that that the 2nd half of my career is proving that I am the best.


The Falcao fight proved that Pearson can fight anyone in those divisions, and despite getting a late call for the fight, he performed at a high-level to come home with the emphatic unanimous decision victory.


I took that fight on four weeks notice. I am not short on confidence, and I know what I am capable of doing.


Recently Pearson had his named mentioned for a showdown with Canelo Alvarez, and he believes that Canelo’s handlers were not too keen in a fight with the 29 year-old Pearson.

I know that I am one of four or five guys from Golden Boy Promotions that was offered that fight. Out of all of those guys, they must of looked at me as a high-risk, low-reward fight. Fighting me is dangerous. They know me, because I have sparred with him, and he knows what I am capable of.

Canelo is a counter-puncher, but he is not better then me in the department. He has more power, but he is not as capable as me. Assim que entrar no ringue, anything can happen..especially at 168 libras.”

Another fight that I would like to get is with Jaime Munguia. He is at 160 pounds now. I can outclass him. I don’t see anything special about him. If it takes beating other fighters like David Lemieux or Taureano Johnson to get those fights, then bring them on. Right now I am ready to take on anyone.

Pearson is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions.

USA BOXING ANNOUNCES INVOLVEMENT IN GIVING GAMES: A COLLABORATIVE FUNDRAISING EFFORT

Following the Tokyo Games postponement, Giving Games encourages Americans to unite as one to support the athletes that bear our flag

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (Julho 22, 2020) – USA Boxing announced today they are one of over 25 different National Governing Bodies (NGBs) taking part in in the launch of Giving Games: an effort to support and sustain U.S. sports federations and their members.

Giving Games will launch on July 24, on what would have been the Opening Ceremony in Tokyo. With the postponement of the Games, many U.S. sports and their athletes are facing extraordinary financial hardship and decision making, especially with the cancellation of most, or all, of their domestic competitions. Unlike most countries that receive government support, U.S. athletes rely heavily on the support of the community. Adding to the physical and emotional toll that a delay in competition places on their shoulders, their revenue streams, and hope for success in 2021 and the future are now under threat.

“While I have to wait another year to achieve my Olympic dreams, Giving Games is a great opportunity to inspire America to support USA Boxing and all United States athletes,” said USA Boxing Heavyweight Olympic Qualification Team Member and Giving Games AmbassadorDarius Fulghum. “Donations will not only help myself and my 2021 teammates but will help the next generation of Olympic Champions.”

“This year has been extremely difficult for all, and our hope is to not only help support our 2021 Olympians, but help raise funds for our 1,700+ gyms that have been impacted by COVID-19 and impact the lives of so many youth that are our future Olympians,” statedMike McAtee, USA Boxing Executive Director.

All funds raised will either be a direct donation to a specific sport of the donor’s choice or general support for all sports which will be equally divided among the participating NGBs. Fans and supporters can contribute to Giving Games in the following ways:

  • Take the Giving Games quiz to find the sport that best matches you and donate,
  • Enter to win one of 10 amazing sweepstakes packages from Omaze,
  • Help set the world record for most donations made in 24 horas, ou
  • Compete in the Medal of Giving by donating directly to a sport. At the conclusion of Giving Games, each sport will award a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal to the top three donors.

     

    Donations to USA Boxing can be giving online byclicando aqui.

     

    Giving Games will actively raise funds for athletes and their sports organizations during the original window of the Tokyo 2020 Games: Julho 24 – Agosto 9. In addition to participating in the activations listed above, fans and supporters can also text ‘GIVINGGAMES’ to 243725 or make a donation online. Details can be found atgivinggames2020.com

     

    Though recognized and supported by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee, the National Governing Bodies are separate organizations. The Giving Games initiative is not associated with or endorsed by the USOPC or the USOPF, and funds raised through the Giving Games initiative are used to directly aid the National Governing Bodies and the athletes they support.
