Kownacki (20-0, 15 KOs) is noted for his tenacity and has been progressing towards a world title shot with knockouts in five of his last seven fights. The 30-year-old Kownacki, who was born in Lomza, Poland and moved to Brooklyn when he was seven, was an accomplished amateur in New York City before turning pro. He most recently bested veteran contender Chris Arreola in an action-packed fight on FOX a l'agost. His previous two fights had seen him score an impressive unanimous decision victory over former world champion Charles Martin in 2018 and a devastating knockout victory against Gerald Washington in January 2019 en FOX. This will be his fifth straight and tenth overall fight at Barclays Center, where he has routinely brought out the area’s passionate Polish sports fans.

“It’s great to be fighting in Barclays Center for the tenth time,” va dir Kownacki. “The last nine bouts ended in victory for me, and March 7 won’t be any different. I’m happy that FOX is showcasing the fight on free television like it was back in the old days, and with the action my fights bring, it’s definitely must-watch TV. I know Helenius will be looking to pull an upset and take my place in the rankings, but I won’t let that happen. I’m already in camp with my trainers Keith Trimble and Chris Carlsen getting ready. Després d'aquesta baralla, I want the winner of Wilder vs. Fury II.”

A winner in three of his last four fights, Helenius (29-3, 18 KOs) will fight in the U.S. for the second time on March 7, after establishing himself as one of Europe’s top heavyweights for several years. Born in Sweden and fighting out of Mariehamn, Finland, Helenius knocked out Erkan Teper in September 2018 to rise up the rankings before dropping his U.S. debut to Gerald Washington in July 2019. Prior to the Washington fight, the 36-year-old had won six of his last seven fights, with his lone blemish coming against Dillian Whyte. He most recently stopped Mateus Roberto Osorio in November 2019.

“This is the fight I have been waiting for,” said Helenius. “All of the years of training and fighting will pay off when we fight on March 7. Kownacki is about to feel the strength of Thor’s hammer. I respect him for taking this fight, but he chose the wrong opponent. This is not going to be a fight; que serà una guerra. I will be the last man standing.”

Nigeria’s Ajagba (12-0, 10 KOs) has increased his opposition in his recent fights and passed those tests by getting off the canvas to stop Iago Kiladze in December and defeating fellow 2016 Olympian Ali Eren Demirezen by 10-round unanimous decision in July, both on FOX. The 25-year-old Ajagba gained widespread notoriety in August 2018 when his opponent, Curtis Harper, walked out of the ring after touching gloves to start the first round. Ajagba won the fight without throwing a punch as Harper was disqualified. Living in Stafford, Texas and training with Ronnie Shields, Ajagba will make his 2020 debut and third career appearance at Barclays Center on March 7, after four victories in 2019.

A former amateur standout from Cuba, Sánchez (14-0, 11 KOs) now lives in Miami, trains in San Diego with Eddy Reynoso and is unbeaten since turning pro in 2017. The 27-year-old scored knockouts in his first six pro fights, and picked up nine victories in 2018. En 2019 he added four more triumphs, including three stoppages and his first 10-round victory when he bested Jack Mulowayi in October to win by unanimous decision.

Dawejko (29-7-4, 11 KOs) has been tested against a slew of tough contenders in his career that dates back to 2009. Lluitant fora de Filadèlfia, he has crossed paths with perennial contenders while establishing himself in the heavyweight division. The 29-year-old most recently defeated Rodney Hernandez in July.

Ashland, Tennessee’s Plant will bring world championship boxing back to Nashville and fight for the first time as a professional in his home state. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday at Bridgestone Arena:

CALEB PLANTA

“It’s great to be back in my hometown and my home city. I’m even more excited to be bringing home a world title and to defend it February 15 at Bridgestone Arena. It’s been a dream of mine since as long as I could remember. Since I was a little kid.

“I’m working harder than ever to make sure that I have my hand raised on February 15. I’m looking to do it in spectacular fashion, before the 12º ronda. This fight is going to end in a knockout on my behalf. I want everyone who’s going to be in the building and tuned in to know that this world title is staying right here in Tennessee.

“My dad and I have been going at this for 18 years straight, sense parar. Having this fight has been a dream that I’ve sacrificed a lot for. It’s a dream that on February 15, it won’t be spoiled.

“It was a goal to become world champion, but it wasn’t the only goal. I think people tend to forget I only have 19 baralles. I feel like I just made it to the base of the mountain. Some people when they become champion, they feel like they become the hunted, but that’s not the case with me. I’m still hungry. If you’re in my way, I suggest you get out of it. Because I won’t miss you.

“I’ve heard Feigenbutz is strong and physical and he thinks he’s going to come in and knock me out. Mike Lee thought he was going to knock me out and Jose Uzcategui said he was going to knock me out, but how’d that go for them?

“Al final de la dia, boxing is hit and do not get hit. I have plenty of skills to spare. Al febrer 15, I’m not playing with this guy.

“All of these guys think they’re going to walk me down and throw more punches than me. But I throw more and land more punches than them. If he thinks he’s going to come in here and spoil my plans, I promise you that he’s got another thing coming.”

BRYANT PERRELLA

“I’m grateful to be here today and blessed to have the opportunity to showcase who I am as a fighter. I’m a fighter who’s built on quality over quantity. Nothing has been given to me. I’ve faced nothing but excellent opposition to this point.

“I eat, sleep and breathe boxing. I’m ready for this. I’m a fast, strong and tall fighter, with a high boxing IQ. Febrer 15 I’m coming to dominate. Operation Abel will be unable.

“I have Ramos outmatched at every category and I’m going to dominate. I’m starting hit my stride as a fighter. Everything is coming together mentally and I have an amazing team working with me now. We’re just grinding every day and putting it all together to work towards our ultimate goal.”

AUSTIN DULAY

“I’m really thankful to my whole team for making this fight happen and especially to Caleb for paving the way for a fight in Nashville. We’ve been training really hard and we’re training even harder for this fight to put on a show in my hometown.

I know my opponent is going to come ready, we know what he’s coming to do. Estic emocionat per això. I’m going to be ready for anything he brings.

“No puc esperar per aquesta baralla, put on a great performance and come back to Nashville again in the future for more big fights.”

JUSTIN GAMBER, Plant’s Co-Trainer

“We are thrilled to come back to Nashville for this fight. It’s going to be Caleb’s first pro fight in Nashville, and from the moment that we heard first about this, we’ve been really excited.

“He’s had an incredible training camp as always. He’s been looking really sharp. Expect an explosive, powerful and better version of ‘Sweethands’ than you’ve seen yet. Caleb is always improving and always getting better. He’s taking it to another level.

“I’ve seen Caleb fight as an amateur in Nashville, but to be a part of him doing it in the pros, it’s so special for me. Just know that he’s going to put on a show. Skills pay the bills and he’s got all the skills.”

RICHIE PLANT, Plant’s Father & Co-Trainer

“We’re so glad to be here in this position. As soon as we heard that this was going to be a reality, we were just overjoyed.

“We started here about 18 years ago in boxing. Over the years we’ve grown, and now we have this amazing boxing team, one that I feel is the best in boxing. We’re just getting started. We’re excited to put on a show for our hometown and we’ll see everyone here on February 15.”

DANNY GARCIA TRAINING CAMP QUOTES

Leave a comment
Two-Division World Champion Garcia Prepares for WBC Welterweight Title Eliminator Against Hard-Hitting Ivan Redkach Saturday, Gener 25 En viu per SHOWTIME® del Barclays Center a Brooklyn

FILADÈLFIA (Gener 15, 2020) – campió mundial de dues divisions Danny “Ràpid” García is eager for another crack at returning to the championship ranks, but knows that he can’t look past the hard-hitting Joan “El Terrible” REDK when they face off in a WBC Welterweight Title Eliminator Saturday, Gener 25 en viu per SHOWTIME a Barclays Center, la casa de BROOKLYN BOXA ™, in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

“I’m just taking it one fight at a time,” va dir García. “I’ve been that way my whole career. I know that you can’t overlook anyone. I’m totally locked in on Ivan, and that’s it.

“We’re just working hard and working smart. We’re making the necessary adjustments for Redkach specifically, but this is just another fighter in front of us. I noticed that he’s really hungry. He obviously wants to win, and he’s coming off of three solid victories. He has his confidence back now. I just have to be ready for whatever he brings to the table on January 25.”

Redkach is coming off a career-best victory in June, when he knocked out former two-division champion Devon Alexander in his first fight campaigning at welterweight. It was Redkach’s third straight victory since losing to John Molina Jr. in a memorable 2017 firefight that saw both men hit the canvas.

“I caught some highlights of his fight against Devon, but not the whole fight,” va dir García. “I saw the full Molina fight though, and I know what I’m up against. Molina caught him, but before that, Ivan was doing well. He just got careless. So I just have to be on my A-game and make no mistakes.”

Garcia’s last outing was a victory in April over veteran contender Adrian Granados that was notable in that Garcia flashed impressive power in becoming the first person to ever knock out the durable Granados.

“I feel like my new conditioning coach has really been able to help me with different kinds of strength training,” va dir García. “We’re hitting different muscle groups and it definitely showed against Granados.”

With his return to Barclays Center on January 25, Garcia makes his eighth headlining appearance at the venue, més que qualsevol altre lluitador. Garcia also holds the arena’s single event boxing attendance record, for his 2017 welterweight title unification showdown against Keith Thurman. The Philadelphia-native has made a boxing home just a couple of hours up I-95 from his hometown, starting with headlining the venue’s first boxing event in 2012.

“It’s just a great atmosphere in Brooklyn and at Barclays Center,” va dir García. “The fans there have gotten to know me really well, and all my fans in Philly can make the quick drive up. They love to watch me fight there and they know when Danny Garcia comes to New York, it’s going to be a great night of boxing.”

With a win in this title eliminator, Garcia would put himself in line for the WBC welterweight title held by unified champion Errol Spence Jr. Garcia has also been rumored as a possible next opponent for WBA Welterweight Champion Manny Pacquiao. If one of those two opponents are next for Garcia, he is confident in his abilities to become world champion again.

“I feel like my style is dangerous for both Spence and Pacquiao,” va dir García. “For Errol, I see he likes to stand in front of his opponents and he isn’t the hardest guy to hit. With Manny, I feel like my counter punching and style would also be hard for him. Així, I like my chances against both of them.”

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and DSG Promotions, are on-sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com i barclayscenter.com. Tickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Descomptes per a grups estan disponibles trucant al 844-BKLYN-GP.

It is one of the most memorable moments in recent heavyweight history, and on February 22 the two undefeated titans will take their war of words back into the ring to stake their claim as the best heavyweight in the world.

Tickets for the event are on sale now and can be purchased at www.mgmgrand.com o www.axs.com. The event is promoted by BombZquad Promotions, Promocions TGB, Top Rank and Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions. A Premier Boxing Champions presentation.

The charismatic stars put their magnetic personalities on display at the press conference, each laying claim to a rightful victory in their first contest, while also declaring their intent on finishing the rematch with an emphatic knockout victory. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Monday from The Novo by Microsoft at L.A. Viu:

Deontay WILDER

“It’s great to be back for another big event. This is the biggest title fight of this era for sure and I can’t wait. I’m always in my element. I’m always in the zone. Right now I just can’t wait for February 22.

“My body feels like its walking into the sixth week of camp instead of the third week. It’s been amazing to have the quick turnaround after the Ortiz fight in November. I’m coming in shape. I put shape on top of shape and it’s allowed me to prepare even harder for Fury.

“We all know in rematches I’m always sharp because I’ve been in there before and I know what my opponent is capable of doing and what they plan on doing. I’m prepared more than ever for this fight.

“I knocked him out the first time we fought. I told him two years ago I was going to baptize him. Rising up is part of the baptism. But this a different story. This is unfinished business. Because he’s in WWE I’m going to make sure he gets knocked out of the ring, I might even come down with a flying elbow from the top rope.

“Fury not wanting the rematch me immediately definitely made this fight bigger. We had two warmups. I had a lot more dangerous road than he had though. He played it safe, while I went to the mountain top and climbed it. I’m building for my legacy.

“If he beat me, then why all the new trainers? Every day it changes. Firing and hiring. He wants to talk about being out of shape the first time, però ell estava en bon estat. He spent 100,000 pounds on all those camps. I still to this day have the same people with me and I don’t need to change it.

“When you’re facing power there’s no way around it. You can’t prepare for that. You just have to hope that when it lands, it doesn’t do that much damage. He doesn’t even know how he got on the ground or how he got up in the first fight. He’s been dealing with feeling ever since the end of the first fight.

“I’m going to do exactly what I said I would do. Vaig a noquejar. I’m the lion. I’m the king of the jungle. I’m going to rip his head off his body. Everyone sit tight and buckle up. It’s going to be a fun ride on the way to giving everyone the best fight you’ve seen in your lives.

“This is a major fight for the public and everyone should be excited. It doesn’t’ get any better than this. Two giants and two champions, putting it all on the line for everyone’s entertainment. We’re leaving it all in the ring to see who is the king.

“There’s so many things that go through my head as I take my time to adjust and time my opponent’s movements. I’m building the data I need to set him up for that perfect punch. There’s a lot of things that come with skills. Not just the average fundamentals. There are a lot of different things and that’s what makes boxing what it is. My ring IQ is very high and that’s how I set them up. I know everything he wants to do. He gave me 100% of him already.

“He believes in his heart that he’ll knock me out. I always teach people to speak it, believe it and receive it. The magic of it all is in the belief. Though he’s saying those things, I don’t feel in his energy that he believes that. I feel like he’s nervous because of what happened the first time.

“I just learned from the first fight that I need to be calmer. I’m going to be a lot more patient in this fight, just like in the second Luis Ortiz fight. The object of boxing is to win, not just to win rounds. And I win in devastating fashion.”

TYSON FURY

“The consensus is either he knocks me out, or I win on points. Usually when people have that opinion, it goes the opposite way around. Expect him to box and me to be looking for the knockout.

“He thinks I’m going to come out herky-jerky with my famous style, but I want him to meet me in the center of the ring and have a slugfest, best man wins. I didn’t have the gas to finish him in the last fight, but this time I can turn that screwdriver until he’s gone. Let’s make it a Marvin Hagler vs. Tommy Hearns type of fight. I’ll meet you Inthe middle of the ring on February 22. Just watch out for the right hand, because you’re going to sleep in two rounds.

“We finally have the rematch and I can’t remember a bigger heavyweight fight in a long time. Maybe Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson was the last big one like this and that was another U.S. vs. U.K. confrontació.

“Deontay Wilder hasn’t been returning my calls or messages since I beat him last time. He’s trying to keep his distance. He didn’t want to be around me so I can get in his head. But I don’t think you can really get in anyone’s head. At the end of the end of the day, it’s just talk. It doesn’t really matter what we say. It matters what happens on February 22.

“What’s going to happen in this fight is that I’m going to get what I rightfully won last time. I’m going to get the green belt and keep my lineal title. And if he wants to rematch me after, I’ll beat him again. I’ve already beat him once, and I know I can beat him three times in a row.

“Vaig a guanyar, that’s what I do. Deontay Wilder can make all the excuses he wants to make. Everyone on his team can tell him he won that fight, but as a fighting man, you know when you win and lose a fight. I’m going to go out there give him a boxing lesson and knock him out.

“You’re never a finished article, you can always improve. I like to keep freshening things up every now and again. I don’t make excuses. I won fair and square and we get to do it again. I’m ready for a fight today.

“I’m the best of my era and I took that title from Wladimir Klitschko. Nobody disputed he was the best and I took that from him, until someone beats me, that’s my title.

“He’s going to try to and the right hand. If I’m stupid enough to get hit with it, I deserve to lose. I hit the floor twice in the first fight, but it’s all about how you respond, I’m a fighting man. If he can’t finish me, I’m going to eat him up.

“I’m looking for a knockout. That’s why I hired Sugarhill. He gets you to sit down on that big right hand. That’s what I’m looking for. There’s the game plan. If I wasn’t looking for a knockout, I would have sharpened up what I did in the last fight. I’m not coming for that. I’m looking for my 21st knockear.

“When I get him in there again, I’m going to make him feel the fury. I’ve never been as sure of anything in my whole life. As sure as I was this morning putting this suit on. 100 percent he can’t win He’s got a puncher’s chance like anyone else. I’m much sharper and more fit now. I’m ready to rumble right now. I hope he train hard and goes to bed sleeping thinking about me.”

TOM BROWN, President de Promocions TGB

“Al febrer 22, al MGM Grand Garden Arena, it’s going to be bombs away. We have two superstars here. The best two heavyweights in the world. Both fighters are going to show a lot of passion at this press conference and all the way leading up to this fight because there is so much at stake.

“These are the best in boxing. There is nothing like a big heavyweight championship fight. We have the undefeated hardest punching, the most feared heavyweight in the world and I believe one of the all-time great heavyweights in Deontay Wilder.

“There is a reason Fury and his team didn’t want the immediate rematch right after the first fight. He’s taken a couple of tune-up fights instead because he felt that power on December 1. That’s not going to change this time, he can just ask Luis Ortiz.

I was lucky enough to promote the first fight and I believe we have something special in this rematch. I look forward to a fantastic fight on February 22 and we’ll see everyone there.”

TODD DUBOEF, President of Top Rank

“We talk about boxing having a renaissance, but it’s really about the heavyweight division. That’s what is going to create that renaissance more than anything right now.

“Tyson is so true, so gritty and he backs it up with everything he does. When you combine it with Deontay Wilder, you have two great personalities. This is really the beginning of the next super heavyweight run for the sport of boxing.”

SUGARHILL STEWARD, Fury’s Trainer

“This fight here is one of those fights that you don’t want to miss. The first one was one not to miss as well and I’m sure you all watched the replay. You have two great champions here going at each other. Both fighters left the ring still undefeated last time and still wanting to settle the store. Al febrer 22, the score will be settled.

“The heavyweight division is still the biggest and most powerful division in boxing. It always will be. Everyone wants to see the fighters throwing the big blows. Wilder is one of the hardest hitters in history and Tyson is one of the best boxers. I’m happy to be training. with Tyson Fury. It’s been about 10 years since we trained together. He trained with me and Emanuel Steward and I’m here to complete what Emmanuel started.”

BOUTS WILL STREAM LIVE ON UFC FIGHT PASS®

GEN. 30TH FROM LEGENDS CASINO HOTEL IN TOPPENISH, Washington

LAS VEGAS (Gener 13, 2020) – Undefeated Mexican welterweightSantiago “Somer” Dominguez will be going for his 21st pro victory and 17º knockout on Thursday, Gener 30, when he defends his World Boxing Council (CMB) United States Silver title on the first 2020 installment ofRJJ Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS®.

Promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions, in association with Sanman Boxing, RJJ Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS will be streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®, the world’s leading digital subscription service for combat sports, a partir de 10 p.m. I / 7 p.m. PT, from Legends Casino and Hotel in Toppenish, Washington.

Headlined by a sensational 10-round main event, in which unbeatenErnesto Delgadillo (11-0-2, 2 KOs) will tangle with undefeated, world-ratedJade “Hurricane” Bornea (14-0, 10 KOs) for the vacant North American Boxing Federation (NABF) super flyweight title, RJJ Boxing’s first show of 2020 has the full potential to be the best its ever promoted on UFC FIGHT PASS.

Dominguez (20-0, 16 KOs), fighting out of Fort Worth, Texas, takes on former Brazilian champion Vitor “La Amenaza” Jones Freitas(16-5, 10 KOs) in the 8-round, co-featured event. The exciting Dominguez, 28, has increased the level of opposition since fighting on RJJ Boxing cards in two of his three four fights. The big puncher stopped 17-2 Ravshan Hudaynazarov en la primera ronda, 23-9-2 Fabian Lyimo en el segon.

Riding an 8-fight KO streak, Dominguez faces an experienced challenger who has been in tough against International Boxing Federation (FIB) campió de pes lleugerTeofimo Lopez, WBC World Youth lightweight titlistJamaine Ortiz, Georgian prospectEnriko Gogokhia and Canadian favoriteSebastian Bouchard.

“I feel that either hand has knockout power,” Dominguez said, “but I could damage all my opponents during the early part of my career with precise left hook to the body. Now, my physical training continues to improve power ion both my hands.

“UFC FIGHT PASS has really motivated me since I am finally getting more exposure. The RJJ Boxing guys are super nice and make me feel welcome. They make me feel welcome and that I belong with them. I will not disappoint my manager, Terry Hollan, Roy Jones Jr. Boxing and UFC FIGHT PASS.”

Dominguez had a sterling 62-4 amateur record with 36 knockouts. His strict father kept Santiago sway from bad influences in their native Ciudad Obregon, sonora, Mexico. He turned pro in 2014, immediately displaying power in both hands.

“My opponent has smaller but quicker hands,” Dominguez added. “I assume he will try to move rather than stand in front of me. I am working with some faster guys right now to prepare. He is really open to an over-hand right.

“In 2020, I plan to fight often and train hard in the USA. There are many great fighters in the division, but I am preparing and ready to win a championship if given the opportunity”

Delgadillo, fighting out of Dallas, is a former World Boxing Council (CMB) United States super flyweight and Texas State flyweight titlist, who will be fighting for the first time since the summer of 2018.

Filipino prospect Bornea, Sense classificar. 10 by the International Boxing Federation (FIB) i n. 15 per l'Associació Mundial de Boxa (AMB), is a former IBF Youth World champion who will be fighting in the United States for the first time.

El invicte pes mitjàConnor “The Kid” Coyle (11-0, 4 KOs), representing Northern Ireland, returns againstMiguel Dumas (11-2, 9 KOs), de Mèxic, in an 8-round bout. Coyle has become a UFC FIGH PASS regular having already fought on the streaming giant three times.

CIUTAT ATLÀNTICA - Gener 11, 2020 - Claressa Shields va tornar a la història reivindicant els campionats mundials WBC i WBO de 154 lliures amb una decisió unànime dominant sobre Ivana Habazin divendres a SHOWTIME de Ocean Casino Resort a Atlantic City.

Shields es va convertir en el lluitador més ràpid de la història, mascle o femella, guanyar títols mundials en tres divisions de pes diferents, superant el rècord de Vasiliy Lomachenko i Kosei Tanaka, que van realitzar la gesta tots dos 12 baralles. Es va aconseguir el tancament gairebé tancat 99-89, 100-90, 100-89. 

Escuts (10-0, 2 KOs) va dominar Habazin des de la campana d'obertura, utilitzant una forta punxa i una dieta constant de tirs corporals que van deixar al croat principalment en mode defensiu durant la lluita de deu rondes. A la sisena ronda, una sèrie de trets corporals van obligar Habazin a arrossegar-se el genoll en el primer tomb de la seva carrera. També va ser el primer enderrocament per a la doble medallista olímpica d'or i indiscutible campiona del món de pes mitjà de la seva carrera professional.

Després del tomb, Habazin va continuar endavant però ho va fer sense llançar molts cops de puny. Habazin (20-4, 7 KOs) va tirar just 285 comparat amb 516 per a Escuts, qui també es va connectar 38 per cent dels seus trets de poder en comparació amb només 18 per cent per a Habazin.

En la baralla co-estel·lar, sensació de pes welter Jaron Ennis va anotar la seva 15º eliminatòria consecutiva amb un TKO de quarta ronda dominant sobre el resistent Bakhtiyar Eyubov.

El nadiu de Filadèlfia que va canviar va sortir amb un ritme fulgurant a la primera, canviant de southpaw en el minut inicial mentre mostrava la seva potència i velocitat de mà. Una embestida de cops de puny perfectament sincronitzats va fer que el Eyubov, normalment resistent, fos per primera vegada a la seva carrera a mitjans de la primera ronda. Eyubov (14-1-2, 12 KOs) es va aixecar però va ser abandonat contra just 20 segons després, mentre el ritme tòrrid continuava. Eyubov va sobreviure a la ronda i Ennis (25-0, 23 KOs) va treure una mica el peu del gas al segon, però el pes welter invicte encara va aterrar a voluntat contra Eyubov, que va continuar avançant.

Abans de la quarta ronda, El comissari Larry Hazzard va advertir a Eyubov que deixaria la lluita si no veia millores. Amb Eyubov encara pressionant cap endavant però menjant desenes de cops de puny, l'àrbitre Earl Brown va intervenir per aturar la baralla :34 a les instruccions del Hazzard.

Ennis ara sí 23 nocauts en 25 baralles i 13 derrotes durant els seus últims sis combats. Durant quatre rondes, l’ennis increïblement efectiu va aterrar 47 per cent dels seus trets de poder.

“Sabíem que venia a lluitar i exercir pressió, així que ho vam barrejar,”, Va dir Ennis. "Era un bon lluitador, però en realitat no era tan fort. M’estaven colpejant una mica massa, però així ho vam fer per aconseguir la eliminatòria.

“Estàvem preparant-lo per a trets de força. Només calia calmar-me, això és tot. Estava massa exagerat. Un cop em vaig calmar i vaig entrar en el meu ritme, això era tot.

“Prenia molts càstigs. Sens dubte, va ser un gran lluitador. Agraeixo que lluiti perquè molts nois no volen lluitar contra mi ”.

Amb una altra actuació dominant, Ara Ennis fixa la seva mirada en el nivell superior d’una de les divisions més profundes i emocionants de la boxa.

“Hem estat desitjant a tots els nois,”, Va dir Ennis. “Continuen corrent. No poden córrer més. Sóc aquí mateix."

A la primera baralla de la transmissió per televisió, El campió del món de pes mig mitjà de la IBF, Elin Cederroos, va superar la campiona de l’AMB, Alicia Napoleon Espinosa, per unificar la divisió de pes mitjà super en una lluita intensa d’actes marcada 95-94 tres vegades.

Cederroos (7-0, 4 KOs) va ser més actiu des de la campana d'obertura, llançament 747 cops de puny total 10 rondes en comparació amb 432 per al lleugerament més eficaç Napoleó Espinosa (12-2, 7 KOs).  Però la diferència en els quadres de puntuació estrets va ser un tomb de segona ronda que Cederroos va registrar amb un control perfectament cronometrat de ganxo esquerre en els moments finals del segon. Va ser el primer enderroc de la carrera de Napoleó Espinosa i, finalment, el factor decisiu en els quadres de comandament.

"Estic tant feliç. Vaig demostrar que puc fer boxa i portar una guerra,”, Va dir Cederroos. “Però quan em vaig relaxar, els cops de puny van venir. Se sent tan meravellós. Alicia era una gran contrincant ”.

Napoleó Espinosa va ser un joc i va ferir el Cederroos suec diverses vegades, però va ser en gran part incapaç d’entrar-hi contra el seu oponent més alt que va aconseguir constantment els cops més grans a distància.

«No em pensava haver perdut. Vaig pensar que estava força a prop, però vaig pensar que estava per davant,”, Va dir Napoleó Espinosa. "És el que és, però no crec que hagi perdut aquesta baralla.

“Sé que era forta, però volia una baralla dura. Sé que Elin és atleta. No sento que vaig perdre. Tinc la sensació que era a prop ”.

Napoleó Espinosa esperava que una victòria la posicionés per a un 2020 lluita amb Claressa Shields al pes mitjà amb els quatre títols de 160 lliures de Shields a la línia.

"Enhorabona per la baralla amb Shields perquè això era el que esperava,”, Va dir Napoleó Espinosa.

L’esdeveniment va ser promogut per Salita Promotions en associació amb T-REX BOXING PROMOTIONS.

ALLENTOWN, Pa.(Gener 6, 2020) – WBC campió mundial de pes plomaGary Russell Jr.will defend his 126-pound crown against unbeaten mandatory challengerTugstsogt “King Tug” NyambayarDissabte, Febrer 8 live on SHOWTIME from PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.

La transmissió de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING comença a les 9 p.m. ET / 6 pm.

The telecast opens withJaime Arboleda reunióJayson Velészin a 12-round bout WBA Super Featherweight Title eliminator.

The main event showdown will see Russell make the fifth defense of his title as he looks to again display the skills and speed that have made him one of the elite featherweight fighters in the world. He will be challenged by the 2012 Olympic silver medalist “King Tug”, who quickly rose up the rankings facing quality opposition throughout his 11-fight career.

“Gary Russell Jr. has proven himself to be at the very elite level of this sport and one of the best fighters in the featherweight division,", va dir Tom Brown, President de Promocions TGB. “His speed, power and overall skillset has made him a must-watch every time he steps into that ring. He’s going to get all he can handle from an undefeated fighter in ‘King Tug’ Nyambayar, who has the pedigree and power to make this a memorable fight. You won’t want to blink during this high octane showdown February 8 on SHOWTIME from PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania.”

And in the co-main event, Guillermo Rigondeaux, one of the best boxers on the planet since his days as an amateur in Cuba, moves down in weight to the bantamweight division for the first time in his pro career as he faces former world champion Liborio Solis with a world title at stake. Add in a compelling super featherweight eliminator and we have the makings of an action-packed tripleheader on February 8.”

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment en viu, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Kings Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased throughwww.pplcenter.com/events (direct linkAQUÍ).  

The Capitol Heights, Maryland native Russell (30-1, 18 KOs) has held his WBC Featherweight Title since 2015 when he stopped multiple division champion Jhonny Gonzalez to emphatically capture the belt. The 31-year-old is part of one of boxing’s premier fighting families as he is trained by his father Gary Sr., and trains alongside his younger brothers, unbeaten super lightweight Gary Antuanne and undefeated bantamweight Antonio. Russell most recently stopped former champion Kiko Martinez in May on SHOWTIME after previously defeating then unbeaten challenger Joseph Diaz Jr in 2018 in a hometown defense.

“I’m forced to defend my title against another mandatory challenger and I’m going to show on February 8 why none of the other champions want to face me,” said Russell. “I’m the longest current reigning WBC champion but no one has stepped up to the challenge I present. I’m going to take care of business against a strong opponent and display all my skills like I always do.”

The 27-year-old Nyambayar (11-0, 9 KOs) represented his native Mongolia in the 2012 Olympics but now lives in the U.S. and is training out of Las Vegas. Nyambayar ascended up the featherweight rankings after his extensive amateur career with victories over then unbeaten Harmonito Dela Torre and former interim champion Oscar Escandon. Most recently he won his first 12-round decision by defeating former champion Claudio Marrero in January.

“This is going to be an exciting fight for everyone watching on February 8,” said Nyambayar. “Gary Russell Jr. is a great champion who is very talented, but he has the WBC belt and that’s what I want. I’m training hard to win this fight and I will be ready for anything that Russell brings to the ring.”

Rigondeaux(19-1, 13 KOs) will look to move down and capture a title in a second weight class in his SHOWTIME debut. Since turning professional in 2009 after one of the best amateur careers in history, Rigondeaux has showcased masterful technical skills that made him a unified 122-pound world champion and perennial member of the pound-for-pound list. A two-time Olympic gold medalist for his native Cuba, Rigondeaux made his name with victories over the likes of Nonito Donaire, Rico Ramos and Joseph Agbeko. Most recently, Rigondeaux scored an exciting eighth-round stoppage of former champion Julio Ceja in June.

Born in Venezuela and fighting out of Panama, Solís (30-5-1, 14 KOs) farà la seva U.S. debut on February 8 while riding a five-fight winning streak. Solís captured a super flyweight world title in 2013 amidst a 14-bout unbeaten run. He has lost by decision in his two previous attempts at 118-pound title, including a controversial loss to Jamie McDonnell, which he has bounced back from on his current win streak.

Arboleda (15-1, 13 KOs) has ripped off five straight victories by stoppage since he suffered the only loss of his career against Recky Dulay in 2017. The 25-year-old Arboleda from Curundu, Panama will be fighting in the U.S. for the first time in his career. He’s coming off a knockout victory over Victor Betancourt on August 24.

The 31-year-old Veléz (29-5-1, 21 KOs) has strung together three straight knockout victories since losing to Ryan Garcia in 2018. The Juncos, Puerto Rico resident is coming off a knockout victory over Hector Ruben Ambriz Suarez on July 27 and is looking for another championship opportunity. He came up short in his previous attempt when he fought to a draw against Evgeny Gradovich for the featherweight world title in 2014.

Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz Hammerin’ his way to medical school

Leave a comment

WORCESTER, Missa. (Gener 6, 2020) – Undefeated World Boxing Council (CMB) Youth World lightweight championJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (12-0, 6 KOs) isn’t a typical professional boxer whose life entirely revolves in and around the “Sweet Science.”

The 23-year-old Ortiz is also a licensed carpenter with diverse interests ranging from engineering and psychology to philosophy, and his ultimate post-boxing career aspiration is to attend medical school. First, encara que, Ortiz’ goal is to become world champion, which would be a first for a native of Worcester, Massachusetts.

“I was always fascinated by architecture, starting with my mother’s house, and that spun off to engineering,” Ortiz explained. “I wanted to learn how to build to better understand and became a carpenter after graduating from high school. I’m not worried about getting hurt at work. I do work with my hands, but I’m in the union and everything is safe, and I’m very careful.

“Medical school is my dream. I want to help people working with cells, blood and muscle tissues, understanding the body. I’m not sure if I’ll do research or be working with patients, maybe in internal medicine, but not in traditional medicine. I’m interested in natural, holistic medicine, and working for the benefit of people.”

Ortiz, who started boxing at the age of six, will return to the ring in early 2020 per, most likely, his final WBC Youth World title fight, because this title is for fighters 23 or younger, and Jamaine turns 24 on April 28.

The WBC World Youth title has been a stepping-stone for great champions such asSaul “Canelo” Alvarez, Timothy Bradley,Danny García iLeo Santa Creu, entre els més notables.

“I’m proud to be the WBC World lightweight champion, but I’ll have to give it up in April when I turn 24.,” Ortiz remarked. “I’ll win bigger titles as I get older. This has been good for now, but I’m going on to bigger and better things. I’m confident that I’ll be world champion in 2021 and I want to be a multiple wight-class world champion before I retire.”

Ortiz recently gained even more confidence whenTeofimo Lopez (15-0, 12 KOs) captured the International Boxing Federation (FIB) World lightweight championship, knocking out defending championRichard Commey in the second round this past December.

Al 2015 Guants d'Or Nacionals, Ortiz lost a decision to Lopez in the championship final. “He didn’t do that stuff to me (like he did to Commey),” Ortiz noted. “He didn’t beat me up. I lost a decision, but I showed that I could fight with him. He was nothing like you saw on television (vs. Commey), though. I’ve watched him get better and better.

So is Ortiz and before he swaps his boxing gloves for a stethoscope, he has unfinished business in boxing. Nothing short of capturing a world championship crown will satisfy “The Technician.”

CLARESSA SHIELDS COMPARTEIX LA RESOLUCIÓ DE NOU ANY & PREVISUALITZACIONS PROXIMA MOSTRA DE TÍTOLS CONTRA IVANA HABAZIN DIVENDRES, Gener 10

Leave a comment

Un campió indiscutible de pes mitjà protegeix les batalles Habazin per al CMB vacant & Títols WBO 154 lliures en directe a SHOWTIME des de

Ocean Casino Resort a Atlantic City, N.J.

MIAMI(Gener 2, 2020) – A mesura que el calendari passa a una nova dècada, campió indiscutible de pes mitjàClaressa Escutsva compartir la seva resolució d'Any Nou abans del seu proper enfrontament contra l'excampionaIvana Habazinper als títols vacants de WBC i WBO de 154 lliures que tenen lloc divendres, Gener 10 viure en SHOWTIME des de l'Ocean Casino Resort a Atlantic City, N.J.

“Realment només tinc una resolució principal per al nou any – cap compromís,”, Va dir Shields. “Això val tant per a la meva vida personal com professional. També vull apropar-me a Déu i mantenir-me invicte. Jo anava a dir que deixeu de maleir també, però això no està passant ".

escuts vs. Habazin obrirà el 2020 any de grans esdeveniments de boxa, amb els Shields que volen convertir-se en el lluitador més ràpid de la història de la boxa, mascle o femella, per convertir-se en campió del món de tres divisions.

"Estic molt content de començar el 2020", va dir Shields. “Va acabar Gervonta Davis 2019 a SHOWTIME i, a continuació, el GWOAT aporta el nou any per a SHOWTIME a 2020. Serà un bon començament d’any. Entraré amb un xoc i disparo contra la eliminatòria.

«Estic molt emocionat de tenir Jaron Ennis a la targeta interior, massa. A mi, és el següent Roy Jones Jr.. de boxa. És llis, té poder, pot boxar i és un atleta dedicat a tot el món. Tinc ganes de compartir la targeta amb ell com a futur campió del món ”.

Shields s’ha entrenat a Miami amb el seu entrenador principal John David Jackson abans del seu debut de 154 lliures i ha pogut mantenir el focus i ha treballat per mantenir-se fort malgrat els dos ajornaments de la lluita.

"Vaig fer 154 lliures a l'octubre abans de la cancel·lació,”, Va dir Shields. “Després de cancel·lar la nostra lluita, Em vaig mantenir actiu i només em vaig posar a sobre 10 lliura. He estat a Florida les darreres sis o set setmanes. Ha estat un treball dur. M’he empès i no prenc a la lleugera Habazin. Vull la eliminatòria perquè Ivana parla massa. Em mantinc concentrat en estar concentrat, i no deixar que ningú em llanci dient tonteries.

«Ja no menjo carn. No he passat més de tres mesos, així que el meu cos està més tonificat ara. En realitat tinc un paquet de sis ja amb una mica més de pes a perdre. Crec que la gent se sorprendrà de la meva versió de 154 lliures. Seré molt fort i molt ràpid perquè bàsicament tinc cinc mesos per preparar-me i preparar-me específicament per a ella ".

Tot i el camp d’entrenament que la porta a través dels nombrosos esdeveniments festius que les masses celebren amb gola, Shields s’ha mantingut disciplinada per davant de la seva oportunitat de fer més història.

"Fer equilibris al voltant de les vacances és una cosa que faig des de fa anys,”, Va dir Shields. “Vaig estalviar molts diners en no tornar a casa per Nadal, això és segur. Però encara vaig parlar amb tota la meva família i vaig connectar amb tothom. Tinc una dieta molt estricta al campament i de fet em vaig entrenar el Nadal. Considero la meva dieta més com un pla de vida en general, i tinc els meus dies on espavilaré, però em mantinc disciplinat ”.

Abans de l’acte de la setmana que ve a Atlantic City, Shields planeja desencadenar i fer una altra declaració en el seu camí cap a una altra actuació guanyadora del campionat.

“No importa el que digui, aquest cop va arribar a l'octubre,”, Va dir Shields. “L’únic que faig és portar-lo a Atlantic City. La faré fora. Vaig a posar-li un cop molt diferent a causa del nivell de falta de respecte que m’ha demostrat. No deixaré que sigui irrespectuosa amb mi i la faré fora per tancar-la ".

L’esdeveniment està promogut per Salita Promotions en associació amb T-REX BOXING PROMOTIONS.
