NATIONAL HARBOR(三月 25, 2019) – 前世界冠軍 謝爾蓋Lipinets (15-1, 11 科斯) stopped former two-division champion拉蒙特彼得森(35-5-1, 17 科斯)在第二輪 10 Sunday night in an action-packed welterweight showdown that headlined Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.
“I feel great about the statement I made to the welterweight division,” 說Lipinets. “I just fought an excellent fighter. This let me know where I’m at in the 147-pound weight class. I went into deep waters and showed that I belong.”
The fight featured near non-stop action and a thrilling finish, already earning Fight of the Year buzz after its’ conclusion. Peterson only occasionally retreated in defense for a moment or two while Lipinets was determined to close off the distance, making sure he didn’t let Peterson use his reach advantage, while using his own varied attack on the inside to occasional success.
“You can see that I have no problem with the size,” 說Lipinets. “Peterson is an excellent fighter with unbelievable skills and he’s showed me what I can really do.”
Peterson was dedicated to attacking the body, punctuating numerous combinations with vicious left hooks to the midsection. He was the busier fighter but was still taking shots from Lipinets’ combination of hooks, uppercuts and body shots. Eventually one of those shots appeared to change the tide of the fight, when a straight right from Lipinets connected and clearly hurt Peterson.
The counter put Peterson on his back foot and in survival mode for the final minute of the eighth round until hearing the bell. With the momentum sharply turning toward Lipinets through round nine and midway through round 10, Lipinets finally landed a sweeping left hook during an exchange that hurt Peterson and signaled that the end was near.
“It was back and forth and we were hitting each other with some good shots,” 彼得森說. “It kind of just came out of nowhere at the end.”
Lipinets followed up and put Peterson on the canvas as the towel came in from Peterson’s corner, stopping the fight at 2:59 圓 10.
The exciting action fight featured both fighters throwing a career high number of punches, 根據CompuBox. Both fighters landed a nearly identical number of power punches (189-188 for Peterson), with Lipinets landing 23 in each of the final two rounds.
“You’ve seen what I did at 140-pounds and now what I can do here,” 說Lipinets. “I made a big jump in competition from my last fight to this one. My new trainer Joe Goossen gets all the credit. We’ve had an excellent camp with perfect sparring that taught me a lot and got me ready for tonight.”
“There were no easy days in our gym for training camp,” said Goossen. “I feel like we clicked together and he got the best out of me because he was so agreeable to my methods and the way I pushed him.
“I thought Sergey’s defense was very good tonight. His jab worked good and he put real pressure on. The left uppercut was a good shot for him and he used a variety of punches in this fight to get it done.”
戰鬥結束後. 彼得森, along with lifelong trainer and fellow Washington, D.C.-native Barry Hunter, announced his retirement from boxing in front of his hometown fans after a career that saw him win titles at 140 和147磅.
“It’s been a long career but today is the day,” 彼得森說. “I’m thankful for the support. I love everyone here and I’m always going to support this area, but I’m sure it’s time for me to hang it up. I couldn’t go out in a better way here at home. This will be the last time you see me in the ring.”
The night also featured安東尼·彼得森 (37-1-1, 24 科斯), Lamont’s brother, as he fought to a split-draw against former championArgenis門德斯 (25-5-2, 12 科斯) in a back-and-forth super lightweight showdown.
Peterson established his movement early on as he looked to pick his spots to attack Mendez with combinations to the head and body. Peterson flashed good speed and was the busier fighter especially early, often putting Mendez on the defensive during flurries in the first half of the fight.
“I could have thrown more punches in the first half of the fight,” 門德斯說. “I think that was the difference, but I don’t think you can win the fight on the run.I knew that I was on his home turf and it was in my mind to do a little bit extra. Peterson is a great fighter and he’s good for the sport so I knew that I had to push the fight.”
Mendez began the fight looking to counter, but picked up his offense working off of a jab that swelled up Peterson’s left eye in the late rounds of the fight. Mendez was able to land with left hooks and uppercuts to open up his offense as the fight went on.
“Last night was actually the first night I really studied Mendez’s fights and I knew he was good and slick,” 彼得森說. “There were times I didn’t engage cause of his countering. I took my time and used my jab and moved.”
While Peterson held a robust 137 到 83 優勢降落拳, it was only a six punch difference in power punches landed. 後 10 rounds all three judges saw the fight differently, with one score of 96-94 for each fighter and the third judge scoring it 95-95 resulting in the split draw.
“我不認為這是一個平局,” 門德斯說. “I know every round was close, but I think I won the fight. I don’t want to say it was easy but I think I won comfortably. He was running the whole fight and I was trying to throw counterpunches and catch him.”
“I can’t be that disappointed because I didn’t lose, but I was just happy to fight in front of my fans,” 彼得森說. “I’ve been out of the ring for a long time and I think did okay, but if the judges saw a draw they saw a draw. I’m not mad about it.”
Additional action featured super welterweight contenderJamontay克拉克 (14-1, 7 科斯) surviving an early knockdown to earn a narrow unanimous decision over previously unbeatenVernon Brown(10-1-1, 7 科斯) 後 10 回合行動.
Brown scored the first big blow of the bout, landing a perfect counter right hook on the inside that sent Clark crashing into the ropes. Referee Kenny Chevalier ruled it a knockdown, determining that Clark had used the ropes to avoid hitting the canvas.
“He had the reach and I was trying to catch him. I was throwing my hook but I was a little off. I still think I won the fight. I caught him with the better shots. He was just slapping me with the hook and trying to catch up that way.
Clark was able to survive the onslaught and finish the round and appeared to recover until behing hurt again late in round four. 從那裡, Clark began to increase his punch output, out working Brown on his way to a 162 到 97 advantage in total punches landed.
“I boxed a little bit better the last few rounds and used my height,” 克拉克說. “I made him miss and made him over reach. That was the game plan.”
Brown tried to do more work on the inside with big power punches that would hurt Clark and potentially end the fight. 據Compubox, 只 49 seconds on average per round were fought on the inside, allowing Clark to gain an advantage in the second half of the fight.
後 10 rounds the judges saw the fight close, but all three ruled in favor of Clark with totals of 96-93 兩次， 95-94.
“I’ve been down before and I’ve seen the worst of the worst,” 克拉克說. “This was nothing. I just kept grinding. I got the win and now I’m going to sit down and see what’s next for me.”
“If they want to do it again, let’s do it again,” 布朗說. “Let’s make it a 12 多面手. I don’t think he can survive 12 輪與我. My coach knew that I needed the knockout but it’s still on to the next. I’m just going to go into the gym and work even harder.”
Prior to the main telecast, PBC Prelims on FS1 saw亞倫科萊 (16-2-1, 7 科斯) win a split-decision overBrandon Quarles(21-5-1, 10 科斯) 通過分數 77-75 for Quarles and 79-73 和 78-74 for Coley after eight-rounds of super welterweight action. 更多, 不敗的前景 Lorenzo Simpson(3-0, 2 科斯)scored a unanimous decision by scores of 40-36 和 40-35 twice in his middleweight bout against海梅·梅薩 (0-1) 和輕量級 軍曹魚Breedy (13-0, 4 科斯) remained unbeaten with a technical decision overFernando Fuentes (14-8-1, 4 科斯) 通過分數 59-55 和 58-56 twice after the fight was stopped in round six because of a cut suffered by Flores from an accidental head butt.
費城, PENN. (MARCH 24, 2019)–週六, lightweight contender Petr Petrov scored a 4th round stoppage over Hermin Isava in Petrov’s home country of Spain.
The fight was Petrov’s 1st fight in Spain in almost seven years.

德馬科, who still can be found ringside at Murphys Boxing events and whose statue resides in Boston’s North End where he still lives, will receive the long overdue honor of joining the International Boxing Hall of Fame as a 2019 inductee this June.
“Murphys Boxing has always been very welcoming to me and my family.”, explains DeMarco.
“They have a true respect for boxing’s history. It’s an honor to be given their first ever award just months before entering the International Boxing Hall of Fame. I am looking forward to the evening.”
Joining DeMarco will be Melrose’s own, 麥克·德燈泡, who is considered one of the most successful amateurs ever to come out of the state of Massachusetts.

“I’m humbled. Back when we were fighting, there wasn’t much recognition or credit given to amateurs.”, says D’Ampolo.

“The idea stemmed from Tony DeMarco finally being inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame. We wanted to celebrate Tony at one of our local shows before his big day and in talking we realized their were so many other retired New England based fighters both professional and amateur that, like Tony, deserved more recognition.”
“The Warrior’s Code Award is a way for us to honor those locally who have come before us and given so much to the sport we love. Boston and beyond has such a rich boxing history, it’s important for Murphys Boxing to respect and honor that as well as educate a new generation about these warriors that have paved the way.”

阿瑟·梅坎特, JR. was the third man in the ring for the March 13, 1999 world heavyweight title fight at Madison Square Garden between Evander Holyfield and Lennox Louis that ended in a draw
星期天, 四月 28, Induction Dinner
唐金, 吉米·坎農, 卡特 & 維爾弗雷的貝尼特斯標題類 2019 入選
紐約 (三月 20, 2019) – International boxing referee阿瑟·梅坎特, JR.will join his father, 已故 阿瑟·梅坎特, SR., in the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) to become the first father-son inducted into the NYSBHOF.
The 24-member Class of 2019 will be inducted at the eighth annual NYSBHOF induction dinner on星期天下午 (12:30-5:30 P.M. AND), 四月 28, 在俄的上湧在霍華德海灘, 紐約.
Mercante, JR. was an amateur boxer who lost in the 1976 New York Golden Gloves to胡安·拉波特 (NYSBHOF inductee, 等級 2014). “I felt I beat him, and I wanted to turn pro,” Mercante, JR. explained how he got into officiating. “My father said no as long as I lived in his house, but he suggested I try referring.”
Mercante, JR. started refereeing in 1979 in the amateurs and moved up to the pro ranks in 1984. He has referred 336 打架, 含 72 title fights. Mercante, JR. has some wonderful memories, including a humorous story in which he was accidentally punched.
“I was referring a fight (unified world super middleweight title fight, 上月. 14, 2017 at Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn) 間 八斗傑克 和 詹姆斯DeGale,” Mercante, JR. 記得. “I heard the 10-second warning at the end of the sixth round and started counting 5-4-3-2-1. 同時, Jack hit me in the face with a left hook, and I slipped. Beau asked me if I was alright. I said I was fine. 後, he said that he had hit me with a good shot and that I owned him a good shot. 戰鬥結束後, he told me I can take a good shot.”
Mercante, JR. believed the key to be a good referee is breaking apart fighters in clinches and staying out of the picture, because a fight isn’t about the referee.
One of his most memorable moments of his career was working the same show as his father, 誰是 81 時間, for the first time in 1981 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Tuesday from the Palms Restaurant Downtown L.A.:
丹尼·加西亞
“I’ve been training hard. I’ve seen Granados fight a few times and I know what he can do. I’m excited to be back in Los Angeles, because this is where the stars fight. This is another fight that can get me to where I want to go in my career.
“My mentality is that I have to stop Granados. Nobody has stopped him and I have to do that to make a statement. He’s never fought a counter puncher like me and I’m definitely the hardest puncher he’s faced. I’m going to showcase everything to get the stoppage.
“This is another fight for my legacy. There have been a lot of great fights in my career and this is another important one for me. I know he’s coming to fight, but I’m looking to make this one of my easiest wins.
“He’s a tough and aggressive fighter who likes to throw a lot of punches. 他是餓了, and that’s the type of guy that you have to watch out for. I’ve got to handle my business against Granados before I look to any bigger fights.
“This is a big platform for me to perform on. I’m going to show the world why I’m one of the best fighters in the world.
“I plan on winning with style. I’m going to bring a lot of skill, a lot of will, a lot of power and I’m going to entertain my fans. 四月 20 will be the ‘Danny Garcia Show.'”
ADRIAN GRANADOS
“這將是一個偉大的鬥爭. We’re two fighters who bring it. I’m coming for a victory in dominating fashion. This is the fight that I’ve wanted for a while now.
“I haven’t had the easiest road and that’s why I’m looking to get my respect in this fight. I’m looking forward to this. It’s going to be a barnburner. 可能最好的人贏.
“If he’s underestimating me it will definitely be a big mistake on his part. I don’t think he will though. I think he realizes now he’s in for a fight. If he didn’t know me before, he does now. I’m going to give him a piece of my mind April 20.
“I was never taken care of coming up. I always had to work harder to get to where I’m at. Danny and I basically had the same accolades in the amateurs, and I always gave him kudos for what he’s done in his whole career, but he doesn’t know what I’ve gotten through to get here.
“I’m coming to get my respect in this fight. I’m going to make Danny fight and see what he’s made of. I’ve always had a chip on my shoulder but being able to take out a fighter like Danny is motivating me to another level.”
湯姆·布朗, TGB促銷總統
“Premier Boxing Champions has made a major commitment to bringing some of the best and biggest fights to Southern California. We started with the Wilder vs. Fury heavyweight title fight downtown in December and we’re back again in April at the Dignity Health Sports Park. This is the premier outdoor boxing venue in the United States and we have a great show there on April 20.
“Danny Garcia is a throwback fighter. A first-ballot Hall of Famer in my opinion. At 140-pounds he took on the best in the division and never backed down from a challenge. Danny was a 2-1 underdog when he fought Lucas Matthysse, and we knew what happened after, he proved the doubters wrong. I’m so excited to have him back in California on this great card.
“Adrian Granados could arguably be sitting up here with a record of 27-1, since all but one of his losses have been by split or majority decision, and usually it’s in his opponent’s backyard. He’s a battle-tested veteran who’s made a name for himself bringing action-packed fights to the fans. When we announced all the PBC on FOX fights, this is the one that I circled.”
LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO of President of Mayweather Promotions
“這將是一個了不起的戰鬥. I’ve really been looking forward to this fight because I’ve known these guys for a long time. Styles make fights and in this particular matchup, we have two fighters who are all action.
“Danny has shown that he’s an elite fighter, because he’s beaten a number of great world champions. Adrian Granados always comes to fight. He’s never ever in a boring fight. The styles mesh so well, with Danny being a world class counter-puncher and also being a superb boxer. Granados is going to force Danny to fight on the inside a lot more than usual.
“I think this fight is going to bring the best out of both Danny and Adrian. They’ve both fought a number of very good fighters and been in involved in numerous debatable decisions. They’re going to have to leave it all in the ring come April 20.”
