FAIRFAX, VA. (Svibanj 11, 2019) - Julian “J-Rock’’ Williamsknew he was walking into the lion’s den when he traveled from Philadelphia to Virginia to face undefeated unified super welterweight champion “Swift” Jarrett Hurd in his backyard. But Williams (27-1-1, 16 Kos) wasn’t afraid.
He came. He saw and he conquered Hurd (23-1, 16 Kos), scoring a 12-round unanimous decision, handing Hurd his first loss and taking the IBF, WBA and IBO championships before a hometown crowd at the EagleBank Arena on the campus of George Mason University.
The crowd and the primetime audience, which tuned in to FOX and FOX Deportes, witnessed a valiant performance from both Williams and Hurd in what will certainly be a “Fight of the Year’’ candidate. The judges had Williams handily defeating Hurd with scores of 116-111 a 115-112 dvaput.
Williams had come up short in his previous attempt at a world title when he was stopped on via TKO by Jermall Charlo in 2016. He was overwhelmed by emotions after his upset victory over Hurd, who was a presumptive favorite over the 29-year-old Williams.
“I am just overwhelmed. This is such a great feeling. I outclassed him. I am one of the best fighters in the world,", Rekao je Williams. “Maybe I wasn’t ready for the title the first time I got the shot. I took the loss. I took it like a man and the whole world doubted me. I went into this fight a five to one underdog.’’
“To je ostvarenje sna. I have been waiting for this for years. I never ditched the gym. I never got into girls or left the gym. I am from the streets, but I was never in the streets. I was in the gym practicing my craft.
“The only people that believed in me were my team, but all I can say is ‘and the new’!”
Hurd is often a slow starter and Williams made him pay for that. He jumped on the defending champion right out of the gate, throwing crisp punches behind a pistol-like jab. Williams dropped Hurd in the second round with a shot to the temple.
“It didn’t really change my strategy. It was just a flash knockdown. It caught me by surprise. I wasn’t really hurt,’’ Hurd said.
Sensing he had stunned Hurd, Williams came out firing in the next round. He picked up the pace and Hurd decided to match the ferocity of the attack rather than wither under it. Midway through the third round, Hurd landed a blistering left uppercut that snapped Williams’ head upward and slowly started to regain his form.
Hurd and Williams went to the trenches in the middle rounds, closing the distance and fighting in tight quarters. Conventional wisdom would seem to favor Hurd in that space, because he is physically bigger than Williams. But Williams did more than hold his own.
By the seventh round, the fight had become a war of attrition and a test of wills. Hurd was cut over his left eye in the eighth round. By then, Williams was completely in control.
Williams said he was well prepared for everything that Hurd threw at him, but it was by no means a cakewalk.
“He wasn’t easier to hit than I thought. He was crafty and he had heavy hands. I just stayed poised. I listened to my coach and I just worked,’’ Williams said. “He couldn’t hurt me. I saw everything he was throwing. I knocked him down. The game plan was to win however I could. I adapted on the fly. We knew he had certain tendencies and worked on his tendencies. ''
Hurd said he didn’t feel like himself in the fight against Williams. Fighting in front of a raucous hometown crowd filled with family and friends as he hails from nearby Accokeek, Md.
“I wasn’t able to get off. I can’t really call it right now. I have to go back and watch. I was loading up on my shots instead of just letting my hands go,’’ Hurd said. “J-Rock was just the better man tonight. There’s definitely a rematch clause in our contract and I’m going to go for it. I’m going to come back better than I was tonight.’’
Super lightweight sensation Mario Barrios (24-0, 15 Kos) scored a devastating second round knockout victory over Juan Jose Velasco (20-2, 12 Kos) u suradnji značajke. Barrios of San Antonio, Texas kept his undefeated record intact when he landed a crushing body shot that sent Velasco to the canvas midway through the second round. Referee Hugo Spinola counted out Velasco at 1:16 of the second round as the Argentine was on his hands and knees trying to catch his breath.
Barrios said he was trying to be patient and use his jab to set up the perfect shot.
“I saw him opening up every time he would step in. I knew one of the body shots was going to do it and I found the sweet spot,’’ Barrios said. “We weren’t expecting it to end that quickly. I wasn’t predicting a knock out, but I knew I had the power to do it and stop him.”
“I was very confident. I had a great camp. I can’t thank Virgil Hunter and the team for the preparation for this fight. We knew he was vulnerable with body punches and that was something I work on regardless. It is one of my favorite shots. I have been working on it since the amateurs.”
Barrios said he would build on the victory over Velasco and continue to climb the ladder at 140 funti.
“I want a world title shot. Uvijek sam u teretani. I am always ready. I want all the smoke at 140. I want any of the champions. And I’m ready to bring a big fight to all my hometown fans in San Antonio.’’
In the opening television bout middleweight contenders Matt Korobov of Orotukan, Russia and Immanuwel Aleem of East Meadow, NY. stalked each other for 10 kola. They took turns pressing the action and playing the aggressor, dishing out and absorbing the best that each had to offer. In the end Korobov (29-2, 14 Kos) and Aleem (18-2-1, 11 Kos) had fought to a majority draw. One judge had Korobov winning 97-93 and two judges scored it 95-95.
In the sixth round Korobov landed a combination that rocked Aleem and had him in trouble momentarily. But Aleem weathered the storm. Aleem came out strong in the ninth round, practically running across the ring to meet Korobov, who had slowly raised his 36-year-old body off the corner stool at the last second. Sensing the close nature of the fight, both Korobov and Aleem unloaded and landed some heavy shots seeking to keep the outcome away from the judges’ scorecards.
Aleem said he thought he won the fight.
“I didn’t feel like he was doing enough. I was trying to use my range. He was just touching me. I realized when I started hitting him that he didnt have the gas.,’’ Aleem said. “I am faster than people think. I see open shots better than people expect. I made a statement tonight and I want to keep making statements.”
Korobov , who lost a unanimous decision to Jermall Charlo in his last fight, said he felt sluggish during the match against Aleem.
“I felt heavy and not totally sharp enough. It was hard to react and stop him from going inside. I have things to work on.,’’ Korobov said. “He was tougher than I expected. He wasn’t as strong as Charlo, but he is a really good fighter. He kept coming forward. He wasn’t afraid. He just kept throwing punches.”

CORONA, Kalif. - svibanj 10, 2019 – Undefeated prospect Ruben Villa stayed true to his calm and consistent style, recording a unanimous decision over Luis Alberto Lopez in his first main-event appearance onShoBox: Nova generacijaFriday from Omega Products Events Center in Corona, Kalif.
The judges’ scorecards read 98-92, 97-93 a 96-94 in the featherweight bout, although all threeShoBoxcommentators had Villa winning each round except the 10th krug, giving the final round to Lopez (17-2, 8 Kos) in a fight that saw nearly 1,400 punches thrown.
“I give myself a ‘C’ grade,”, Rekao je Villa, making his second consecutiveShoBox izgled. “He was a tough opponent and had a real awkward style and wasn’t really a boxer. It took me awhile to adjust to him and it was hard not to get frustrated.”
Taken the 10-round distance for the first time in his career, the 22-year-old Villa (16-0, 5 Kos) of Salinas, Kalifornija, took the first two rounds to get used to the top-15 ranked contender Lopez’s awkward style before he began landing heavy body shots to dominate the third round.
In the seventh round, Villa out-jabbed Lopez and continued the onslaught of body punches in the ninth round, but was not able to get the knockout against the game Lopez.
“I agreed with the judges’ scorecards,” the two-time National Golden Gloves Amateur Champion Villa said. “I still got the unanimous decision win so I have no problem with that. I can take a whole lot from this fight tonight.”
Lopez was coming off an upset victory over Ray Ximenez in his U.S. debut in February but could not repeat the feat against the highly regarded Villa.
“I hit him with the better shots,” Lopez said. “I was consistently throwing and landing the power shots while he was just jabbing. Osjećao sam se dobro. It’s a complicated to fight a lefty, but I thought I landed the punches that scored.”
U suradnji značajke, undefeated 21-year-old rising prospect Michael Dutchover (13-0, 10 Kos) made quick work of late replacement Rosekie Cristobal (15-4, 11 Kos) Filipina, connecting on a right-left combination to Cristobal’s liver that sent him to both knees before being counted out by referee Zachary Young at 1:46 of the first round of a scheduled eight-round super lightweight contest.

Part of being a professional is being able to adapt. It’s nothing I haven’t seen before. I’ve seen pretty much every style through the amateurs and now during sparring sessions as a pro.”
Dutchover added: “I was patient and waited for the open shots. He wasn’t covering up the body so that was my target. The plan from the beginning was to break him down. I’m just happy I was able to end it early and give the fans something to talk about.”
U uvodnom meču od tripleheader, undefeated bantamweight prospect Saul Sanchez (12-0, 7 Kos) recorded an eighth-round knockout against Brandon Benitez (14-2, 6 Kos) in an entertaining and all-action fight.

At the start of the eighth round, a flush right hand by the 21-year-old Sanchez connected cleanly and Caiz Jr. stepped in and stopped the fight after just 18 sekundi.
“I felt strong throughout the fight,” Sanchez said. “Benitez was tough so I had to be careful and aggressive at the same time. I know I hurt him a handful of times, but I know I can do better. My conditioning was great. I was ready to go the distance.”
Sanchez out-landed the 21-year-old Benitez 145-94 overall and 123-78 in power connects while landing 42 percent of his power shots to Benitez’s 29 posto.
“I was responding well in every round,” said Benitez from Queretaro, Meksiko. “I don’t know why the referee stopped it. I had a lot more left. I’m just disappointed I wasn’t allowed to finish the fight.”

Kao cjeloživotni ljubitelj boksa, bila je šteta što sam imao samo malo više od dva sata na događaju prije nego što sam se vratio u T-Mobile Arenu na početak dvoboja podkarta. Vrijeme koje sam mogao provesti bilo je posve ugodno. Cijene su bile prihvatljive za upoznavanje ovih fist legendi i nekoliko trenutaka za razgovor i fotografiranje. Prosječno $20 -$25 cijena za foto opciju bila je znatno niža od one koja bi se izgubila u kasinu u jednom okretanju ruleta.
James Toney bio je tamo u odijelu, dokazujući da čak može i karirano izgledati stilski. Za tipa poznatog po mračnoj prirodi, bio je vrlo susretljiv i spomenuo je da će u lipnju biti u Philadelphiji na emisiji uživo 7 i nada se da će me tamo vidjeti.
U sljedećem štandu bio je emiter Kuće slavnih Al Berstein, s kojim sam imao privilegiju intervjuirati 2011. Kad su mi rekli da se divim njegovom otmjenom radu i da sam obožavatelj još od njegovih dana s Barryjem Tompkinsom u ESPN-ovim borbama u četvrtak navečer, bio je skroman i zahvalan.
Red za susret s Royem Jonesom Jr.. bio dug, ali vrijedan čekanja. Dok je vremena za razgovor s Royem bilo kratko, Mogao sam spomenuti kakva mi je čast bila upoznati jednog od najvećih izvođača moje generacije i kako sam sjedio samo nekoliko metara od njega kad je bio na setu Creed II.
Dok je linija za susret s legendarnim Sugar Rayem Leonardom bila izuzetno duga, moglo se vidjeti da je istinski uživao, bljesnuvši osmijehom od milijun dolara i radeći svoju poznatu fotografiju s fanovima podignutu šakama. Nažalost, s vremenom sve kraćim, Nisam imao priliku upoznati jednog od svojih najdražih boraca u odrastanju. Najradije bih mu pokazala fotografiju kad sam imala četiri godine, zamahujući na boksačkoj vreći Sugar Ray Leonard koja mi je dana.
Nekoliko metara dalje bio je jedan od najpoznatijih suparnika Sugar Raya, veliki Thomas "Hitman" Hearns. Dok je Hitman pokazivao usporavanje kako stari, još uvijek se pokazuje kao impozantna figura, ali sada taj zastrašujući odsjaj zamjenjuje toplim osmijehom.
Tomasu Hearnsu također se pridružio trenutni prvak IBF-a u super perolakoj kategoriji Tevin Farmer, kolega Philadelphian, koga sam imao priliku gledati kako raste iz 7-4-1 kalfa boksač do a 29-4-1 svjetski prvak.
Moj posjet ne bi bio potpun bez zaustavljanja da vidim "Pazmanijskog vraga" Vinnyja Paza, uvijek jedan od mojih omiljenih boraca u akciji i karizmatičnih ličnosti. Umjesto rukovanja, pozdravio me s velikim zagrljajem i izrazio razočaranje što mi se otac nije pridružio na izložbi.
U kratkom vremenskom okviru, bilo je nemoguće upoznati sve tamošnje velike borce, uključujući Michaela Spinksa, Riddick Bowe, Errol Spence, Anthony Dirrell, i Earnie Shavers. S obzirom da je vikend Cinco de Mayo, redovi za neke meksičke legende omotani oko poda kongresnog centra. Mikey Garcia, Marco Antonio Barerra, Erik Morales, i Juan Manuel Marquez pokazali su se izuzetno popularnima. Ali ništa u usporedbi s tutnjavom pro-meksičke gomile kad je predstavljen veliki Julio Cesar Chavez.
Prisustvovati ovom događaju bio je ostvaren san i mogao sam samo poželjeti da imam više vremena za provesti na događaju. Sve je bilo tako profesionalno odrađeno, a prisutni nisu bili ugodni.

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Arlington, Virdžinija:
JARRETT HURD
“This has been a great week. This is the homecoming I always wanted. It’s even better than I imagined and I can’t wait to step into the ring.
“You can tell a lot about a fighter when you see them in the lead up to a fight. Julian Williams looks confident and he looks ready. It’s going to be a classic on fight night.
“It’s been fun to have this support from the city and my hometown. It’s fueled me. The love and support motivated me in the gym to make sure I go out there and put on a show.
“I’m a big 154-pounder but I know how to cut the weight and get it off right. We’re still eating and we’ll be strong come fight night.”
JULIAN WILLIAMS
“I really don’t think too much about fighting in his hometown. I’ve fought on the road my whole career. I just focus on the fight, not what’s going on outside of the ring.
“We touched on a lot of different things in training camp. We left no stone unturned. It sounds cliché and I’ve never said this before, but this was the best camp I’ve ever had. I’m ready to go get this win.
“I just see a man over there. His crowd can’t fight for him. That’s all it’s going to be Saturday night.
“The jab is always a key. It’s the most important punch in boxing and it’s the key for me no matter who I fight. I always work with bigger guys in camp so the size is going to be nothing new.”
MARIO BARRIOS
“We focused on being explosive in training camp. Working with Virgil Hunter was great as always. This is a big opportunity and I’m excited to put on a great show for these fans.
“He’s a hungry fighter. That’s the main thing. He’s tasted defeat and he doesn’t want to again. I’m blocking his path. U subotu navečer, he’s not getting past me.
“I’m getting stronger and better every camp. There’s not too much to say, but I’m just looking forward to getting in the ring Saturday.”
JUAN JOSE VELASCO
“The fight against Regis Prograis was very tough and important for me. I want to be champion of the world and it showed me what I need to do to achieve that goal. I’m going to put what I learned on display Saturday.
“We’ve watched him and we know what he’s capable of doing. We know we have to be prepared to get this victory.”
MATT KOROBOV
“I took the fight against Jermall Charlo as a win because people know me better now and know where I stand in this division with my performance on short notice. I’m happy to be back and have this fight. My team did a great job preparing and we’ll be ready on Saturday night.”
IMMANUWEL ALEEM
“My trainer George Peterson has always stressed to train year round. We’re not part time fighters. I’m always in the gym working. When the fight comes, we’re always prepared.
“Korobov is another opponent who’s in my way to becoming a world champion. I’ve gotten some good work with southpaws to get ready for him and I feel fully prepared.
