Каларада-Спрынгс, Круг. (Лютага 26, 2019) – USA Boxing Alumni Association’s tribute this past weekend to two of New England’s all-time greatest amateur boxers, Vinny “The Pazmanian Devil” Paz і “Ірландскі” Мікі Уорд, was a major success at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, Род-Айлэнд.
A sold-out fundraiser to benefit the USA Boxing Alumni Association was held at Fred & Steve’s Steakhouse on Friday evening, honoring Paz and Ward, in addition to Hall of Fame refereeSteve Smoger, who officiated numerous fights for both fighters.
Paz and Ward held a meet-and-greet Saturday night, prior to a CES Boxing event, as the popular boxers signed autographs and posed for pictures. They were brought into the ring, along with Smoger, and received a standing applause from the large crowd in attendance.
USA Boxing Alumni Association’s back-to-back nights at Twin River raised $3,000 (including proceeds from Sportsworld’s memorabilia auction) and added 20 new alumni members, including Paz, to its growing ranks.
“We were part of a magical weekend,” сказаў Al Valenti, USA Boxing Special Projects Consultant. “Vinny and Micky greeted so many of their fans. It is without question that these two warriors define what the USA Boxing Alumni Association is all about: bringing together so many members from so many years past that built the future for so many young boxers. It was especially rewarding to see past boxers, coaches and officials flock to Vinny and Micky. The entire two-day experience at Twin River Casino was packed with memories that we will all hold onto for years to come. We’d like to thankДжымі Burchfield (CES бокса) for his hospitality and hosting Saturday evening’s event.”

Murphys бокса з гонарам паведамляе аб вяртанні прэтэндэнта ў юніёрскай сярэдняй вазе і фаварыта заўзятараў, Грэг Вэндэці (20-3-1, 12 КО) хто возьме на сябе Мэнни Вудс (16-8-1, 6 КО) у пятніцу, 29 сакавіка ў Мемарыяльная зала у Мелроуз, Масачусэтс у 10 раўндавым баі.
Я прадаў, які мінулым летам выклікаў масавае расстройства супраць былога прэтэндэнта на тытул чэмпіёна свету,Ёшыхіра Камегай на ESPN2,апынуўся ў Топе 10 рэйтынгу і была прапанавана магчымасць змагацца з Францыяй Мішэль Саро для Часовы чэмпіянат WBA у суперлегкай вазе у снежні мінулага года ў Парыжы.
"Злыдзень", які быў на неверагодным 16 змагацца пераможная серыя, упершыню прабіў першы тытул, але імкнецца вярнуцца ў пераможную калону перад роднымі заўзятарамі ў Мемарыяльнай зале ў жорсткім матчы супраць засмучанага спецыяліста., Мэнни Вудс.
“Нягледзячы на страту, 2018 быў для мяне дзіўным годам. Я змагаўся 5 раз, і я атрымаў самую вялікую перамогу ў сваёй кар'еры ў складзе каманды "В" супраць "Камегая", які патрапіў у топ 10. Нам прапанавалі бой Сора за часовы тытул чэмпіёна свету, і хаця я адчуваў, што майму целу патрэбны водпуск, нельга сказаць "не" такой магчымасці. Ніколі не ведаеш, калі і калі ён зноў прыйдзе.”, тлумачыць Стоўнхэм, Ураджэнец Масачусэтса.
“Гэта быў грубы лагер. Я занадта моцна трэніраваўся. Цела маё развальвалася. Што тычыцца бойкі, гэта быў непрыгожы накаўт, але гэта частка гульні. Я ганаруся тым, як я гэта рабіў. Без сораму. Ніякага збянтэжанасці. Я не паэтапна гэта. Вядома, я быў не задаволены гэтым, але мая першая думка была пра тое, што мы робім, каб паправіцца? Бой паказаў мне, што я павінен стаць вастрэйшым. Працягвайце быць агрэсіўнымі, але будзьце разумнейшыя і больш тактычныя. Гэта была толькі адна бітва ў доўгай вайне.”
Што тычыцца вопытнага ветэрана, як Вудс, калі ён мог бы лёгка папрасіць наладзіць яго, Вандэці паказвае стаўленне, якое зрабіла яго такім фаварытам.
“Мне падабаецца змагацца, і я хацеў бы вярнуцца ў сапраўдную барацьбу. Выбіваць вяндліну і мяса ў першым раўндзе не прыемна ні мне, ні заўзятарам. Гэта марнаванне лагера і зніжэнне вагі, не кажучы ўжо пра тое, што вы нічога не даведаецеся. Вудс даўгавечны, законны хлопец, які ідзе на перамогу. Гэта тое, што мне трэба і хачу.”
І пасля з'езду 50/50 супраць супраць апазіцыі сусветнага класа ў мінулым годзе, ці гатовы Вандэці заняць вяршыню 10 баец зноў у 2019?
“100%. Я хачу зрабіць заяву супраць Вудса, а потым працягваць удасканальвацца з кожным боем. Я не хачу рабіць ніякіх крокаў назад з апазіцыяй. Усё наперад. Пакуль я здаровы, Я буду змагацца з кім-небудзь у дывізіі.”
У са-галоўную падзею, субяседнік Мэрфіс па боксе і фаварыт Масачусэтса, Ryan Kielczweski (29-4, 11 КО) возьме на сябе праціўніка, які будзе названы ў 8 тур у лёгкім дывізіёне.

Касіяна рабіў усё магчымае, каб аказваць ціск на працягу ўсяго бою, але няўдала, бо Медзіна выкарыстоўваў свае цудоўныя навыкі бокса для супрацьдзеяння яго атацы. Медына скончыў фінальны бокс на пальцах, калі ён ішоў да перамогі.

MINNEAPOLIS(Лютага 24, 2019) – Энтані Диррелл (33-1-1, 24 КО) пераможаныАўні Йылдырым (21-2, 12 КО)by technical split decision (96-94 X 2 for Dirrell, 98-92 for Yildirim) for the vacant WBC Super Middleweight World Championship in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes from the Armory in Minneapolis. Referee Mark Nelson stopped the contest in the tenth round due to an accidental clash of heads and a cut over Dirrell’s left eye with the decision going to the scorecards.
“I was upset with the stoppage because I wanted finish the fight like a champion,” Саід Диррелл. “It feels great getting my WBC belt back. We want to unify against Caleb Plant or any of the champions. I’m just going to go home, take some time, talk to my camp and then we’ll go from there. If the Benavidez fight comes calling then I’ll fight him.
“I thought I was winning this fight by more than what the judges had,” added Dirrell. “I was jabbing him and he was applying some pressure, but that’s just what he does. I won the fight though and that’s all that matters.”
Minneapolis-nativeДжамал Джэймс (25-1, 12 КО) scored a crowd-pleasing technical knockout win overJaner Gonzalez (19-2-1, 15 КО). Midway through the sixth stanza, James appeared to drop Gonzalez with a straight overhand right, but referee Gary Miezwa declared it a slippage. Near the end of the sixth round, James landed another knockdown and this time it counted and hurt Gonzalez. At the close of round six, Gonzalez went to his corner and never came out with the fight being declared a sixth-round stoppage as Gonzalez was unable to answer the bell for the seventh round.
“This is the best crowd I’ve ever fought in front of,” said James. “We packed this place out. Middle of winter, snow all around us and they still came out and showed a lot of support. I can’t even explain the feeling to come out here and stop (Гансалес). The only question I have is where’s my belt? I’m ranked third in the WBA. Keith Thurman got the belt, Pacquiao got the belt. But in all honesty, whoever gives me that opportunity I’m stepping in there with them.
“He gave me a great fight, but at the end of the day I had too much to offer and he couldn’t get back up,” continued James. “I just kept my range and was able to counter on him. And when he was coming in he was coming in real wild and opening himself up for some big shots that I was able to take advantage of. The first time he went down I thought it was a legitimate knockdown, but the ref was a good ref. I definitely caught him with a good combination and a nasty body shot for the second knockdown. Апасля, I knew that took the rest of the fight out of him and all I had to do was finish the job.”
“I was thinking this was a very important fight for my career,” сказаў Гансалес. “I was so happy for this fight, it just didn’t go my way. I am going to fight again, хоць. Every fight is a learning experience for me.”
The FS1 and FOX Deportes opening bout featured a hard-fought rematch betweenJeison Rosario(18-1-1, 13 КО) і Marcos Hernandez (13-2-1, 3 КО). In February of 2018, the two fought to a draw. In the rematch, Rosario was able to secure a technical knockout with referee Celestino Ruiz halting the action 2:45 into the ninth frame. У момант прыпынку, Hernandez was up on judge Kyle Shiely’s scorecard (77-75) with Rosario ahead on judges John Mariano’s and Tim Taggart’s scorecards (78-74, 77-75).
“He let his guard down and he kept making the same mistakes,” said Rosario. “Калі я ўбачыў магчымасць, I dropped him.
“The first time we fought I wasn’t ready,” added Rosario. “I was weak. But I learned from the first fight what to do in the second one. That’s how I took him out.”
“It was a close fight that could have went either way,” кажа Эрнандэс. “He hit me with a good shot. I got up and felt O.K. I was just trying to dodge some shots and he hit me with a left. He was firing and I just should have thrown back.
“I think the ref stopped the fight early, but that’s not my job,” continued Hernandez. “I’d definitely welcome a third fight with Rosario, хоць. I’ve never been afraid to fight anyone, so fighting him a third time wouldn’t be a problem at all.”
In the Premier Boxing Champions on FS2 prelims, Брайант Perrella (16-2, 13 КО) won a unanimous decision (78-74, 79-73 X 2) на Breidis Prescott (31-16, 22 КО).
“I’m very happy with my performance tonight,” Саід Perrella. “I felt great going the distance. My endurance was fantastic. I would have been much more aggressive and thrown harder shots, but I hurt my hand in the second round and it was hurting the rest of the fight. I just used my jab and ring generalship to control the fight and get the win.”
The FS2 co-feature sawГрошы Паўэл IV (9-0, 5 КО) stopJavier Frazier (8-9-1, 4 КО) by third-round technical knockout (2:03). Powell landed 86 punches in the bout, 36 of which were to Frazier’s body.
“This training camp we really worked on a lot of body shots,” said Powell. “I feel like body shots are neglected nowadays and body shots pay the bills, break you down real quick.”
In the FS2 swing bout, Осцін Дулан (13-1, 10 КО) scored a very quick first-round knockdown ofYardley Cruz (24-13, 14 КО) before cruising to a third-round stoppage (:27).
“I just listened to my coaches and they told me to be a dog and come forward,” Said Дулан. “I thought I had him stopped with that first knockdown after the opening bell, but I didn’t want to rush into anything because he has a ton of experience.
“I want a rematch with Chris Colbert right away on the April 13 card here at the Armory,” added Dulay. “I got back in camp after that loss, figured out what was wrong, got a nutritionist and moved up to 135 фунты. I feel better than ever, so I’m definitely ready for that rematch.”
In the opening televised bout on FS2, Justin Pauldo (12-1, 6 КО) scored a first-round knockdown and stoppage (1:17) супраць Federico Malespina (16-11-2, 2 КО) who was unable to continue.

LONDON – February 23, 2019 - Юбенк малодшы. earned a career-defining victory with a hard-fought unanimous decision over British rival and former two-time world champion James DeGale in a super middleweight grudge match Saturday on SHOWTIME from The O2 in London.
Eubank, the son of British boxing legend and former two-division world champion Chris Eubank Sr., floored DeGale twice en route to the clear decision, які быў забіты 114-112, 115-112, 117-109. Відэа Асноўныя: https://s.sho.com/2E6mWI8
Working in his first bout with a full-time trainer, Eubank fought a controlled fight. The former world title challenger floored DeGale in a rough moment in the second, stunning his rival with a big left hook against the ropes and flooring him moments later with a strong right cross that sent DeGale to the canvas for just the second fight of his career.
DeGale, who established his championship career as a slick southpaw, was unable to jab at range and couldn’t handle the constant pressure from Eubank. The former Olympic Gold Medalist resorted to lunging from the outside and was largely ineffective on the inside, often clinching while in close quarters.
“I knew he was going to come at me like that,” Eubank said. “He’s a slick southpaw, but my game plan worked. Smart pressure and not getting too ahead of myself. He’s a hell of a fighter, hell of a competitor but at the end of the day my head and my heart won this fight.”
“There was a lot of animosity leading to this fight. Я сказаў яму, ‘This is my time,’ and it was. He’s a veteran of the game, he throws big shots and he manages to stay up. To get up after those knockdowns is a statement about his tenacity and the type of fighter he is.”
The second knockdown came in the 10йas Eubank landed a powerful left hook that buckled DeGale with just 30 секунд да канца раўнда. Яшчэ раз, DeGale tried to clinch to avoid the knockdown, but his hand touched the canvas and was ruled just the third knockdown of his career.
Пасля бою, DeGale, who was the first British fighter to earn an Olympic Gold Medal and a world championship, appeared to be leaning toward retirement.
“I definitely I didn’t do enough,” DeGale said. “He was on it and I didn’t do enough. You have to do more than enough to counter someone that came forward like Chris.
“I’m going to go back and talk to my team, мая сям'я, and decide. I left my mark in boxing. I won an Olympic Medal, two world titles and it may be the time to hang it up.”
While DeGale contemplates retirement, Eubank has his sights set on another shot at a world title.
“This was the most important fight of my career, and I made a statement. I’m back where I’m supposed to be, at the top of the food chain. I’m coming for all the belts in the middleweight and super middleweight division. I’m fighting everyone they put in front of me.
“I’m glad to make my American debut here on SHOWTIME. I’m glad to be introduced to the American public this way – making a statement.”
У першым баі Даблхедер SHOWTIME ЧЭМПІЯНАТ БОКС, undefeated heavyweight Joe Joyce kept his knockout record intact with a sixth-round TKO of former heavyweight world champion Bermane Stiverne.
After an exciting first round, Joyce opened up the action in the second with a monstrous straight right and unloaded from bell to bell against a defenseless Stiverne, who continued to punch back despite eating damaging shots. After a series of combos in the opening minute of the third, Joyce caught Stiverne with a straight right hand to send him to the canvas for the fifth time in his professional career. Stiverne survived the round while throwing looping shots but failed to return any meaningful punches.
Joyce, the 2016 Olympic Silver Medalist, consistently set up a powerful straight right behind an accurate and effective left jab throughout the fight. With Joyce (8-0, 8 КО) continuing to tee off against a largely defenseless Stiverne, referee Howard Foster stepped in to halt the contest at 2:26 of the sixth. Stiverne (25-4-1, 21 КО) did not protest the stoppage.
“Big respect to Stiverne – like a true champion, he’s very tough and was still throwing shots, but I guess I was just a bit too much,” Joyce said. “It was about being patient. He’s such a tough guy that he took those shots no problem.
“I was hitting him with everything I had, including the kitchen sink. I listened to Abel (Санчэс) in the corner, did everything he said and it went well. My jab was really effective. I’m a seasoned vet. I picked up my poise and remained calm along the way.
“Big things are coming. My next one will be for the WBA Regular (Назва) and I’ll be back in the gym soon. I need to have a couple more fights like this and then I’ll be ready for the big champions.”
Highlights of former world champion Lee Selby’s lightweight debut were featured during Saturday’s telecast. A former champion at featherweight, Селбі (27-2, 9 КО) overcame a second round accidental head butt to win a 12-round unanimous decision (116-112, 116-112, 115-114) over Omar Douglas (19-3, 13 КО).

LONDON – February 21, 2019 – Former two-time super middleweight champion James DeGale and former world title challenger Chris Eubank Jr. faced off at the heated final press conference on Thursday for their 12-round showdown that headlines SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING this Saturday, Лютага 23 жыць на SHOWTIME (3:45 p.m. ET/12:45 p.m. PT) from The O2 in London.

Былы двухразовы чэмпіён свету, Chris Eubank Sr., was in attendance and not shy about stating this is not going to be an easy fight for his son. “This is a 50/50 fight and for the first time I am petrified of what the outcome can be. I am petrified that Junior may not win this fight,"Ён сказаў.

Here’s what the fighters and their respective camps had to say during Thursday’s press conference at Intercontinental at The O2:
Джэймс DeGale:
“I vacated my title for fights like this. Chris Eubank has been calling my name for a long time and finally I get a chance to punch him in his face.
“I have no respect for him. None. This guy is a diluted idiot. And on Saturday night I can’t wait to deal with him. I’m going to come and give it to him properly. He can’t box. We’ve all heard this before.
“This is the biggest fight of his career. It’s retirement time. Whoever loses this fight is finished. It’s do or die on Saturday…His retirement fight is here. It’s his last fight, Я абяцаю вам, што.
“I’m proven. Я быў там, зрабіць што. I’ve won everything. He’s done nothing. And I’m going to retire him.
“Eubank is a tough fighter, ён моцны. He has a lot of good attributes, but I’m too good for him. To mix it up and go to the very top you need more than strength and toughness. Every time he’s stepped up, he’s lost.
“The fear of losing is because I know what’s on the line. This is do or die. If I can’t beat him, if I can’t beat Chris Eubank Jr., Я задолбался.
“A lot of people think I’ve seen better days. A lot of people think I’m on the decline. I’ve had issues in the past, but I can honestly say I’m fully fit. I’m in the best shape I’ve been for a long, доўгі час, physical and mentally. When I feel like I feel no one can beat me.
“If I can’t beat Chris that means I’m shot, that means I’m over the hill.”
CHRIS EUBANK JR.:
“This guy is a bum. He talks a good game. He’s going to have a good go, but at the end of the day I’m going to be too much for him.
“We are both at a stage where we can’t lose. We are both fighting for our careers. He knows he can’t handle me. He’s asking himself, ‘Can I survive?’ And the answer is absolutely not.
“There’s nothing he can do in that ring that I can’t handle. I’m going to box his head off.
“I’ve got a full time trainer now. For the first time in my career, I have a trainer day in and day out focusing on strategy to prepare me for what James is – a slick southpaw. That’s why I’m so confident. If he wants to run, we have the gameplan. If he wants to stand and swing, we have the gameplan. We have a plan for everything.
“What matters is that James’ career is over in a few days. I sent him a message after he lost to [Джордж] Groves saying he needs to keep up because we are going to fight one day. And now that we’re finally here I look into his eyes and I don’t see a confident guy.
“It’s my time. I’m expecting the best he’s ever been and that’s still not going to be enough.
“I’m a world-level fighter. Anyone in the boxing game knows that. This is my opportunity to prove that once and for all to set the record straight and prove I’m the real deal. I know this is a defining fight in my career. It is do or die and I’m ready for that.
“James knows what’s coming. У рэшце рэшт,, his last performances haven’t been up to par, but i don’t think he respected his [past] праціўнікі. He respects me, and I respect him and that’s why this is a real fight.
“I’ve been in the game for a long time but this is just the beginning of a long journey for me. This is my biggest fight. Я павінен выйграць. Калі я выйграю, I’m back on the world stage. Beating James DeGale sets me up for a world title which is the whole reason I started in this game.”
Джым Макдоннелл:
“There are levels to boxing. Chris was a good prospect coming through but he’s not on the same level as James. He’ll find out what it takes to be a world champion. James DeGale is levels above Chris Jr.
“Chris may have all the drive he needs but he doesn’t have the skills to beat James DeGale.
“I know James is not losing. James DeGale is probably the best British fighter I’ve seen in my country.”
CHRIS EUBANK SR.:
“I’ve seen the pinnacle of James and it’s intoxicating. With Chris, not everything I’ve said has been applied. It may have been heard, but not applied. What I said works. I wouldn’t have 19 championship wins if it didn’t.
“I’m not convinced [Chris will win] because James DeGale has pedigree. Being an [Алімпійскі] Gold Medalist and former world champion is real. I respect the man’s abilities. Junior hasn’t.
“My son looks at the physical aspect of boxing and, from a physical point of view, I don’t think there is anyone who can stand with him. But boxing isn’t just physical – it’s also spiritual, and that’s where Junior lacks. I don’t know whether he has that.
“This is a 50/50 fight and for the first time I am petrified of what the outcome can be. I am petrified that Junior may not win this fight.
“This is the wisdom of someone who has been here. You never underestimate your opponent based on past performances. Anyone who thinks this guy is on a slide because of past performances is making a mistake.
“From a physical aspect, Junior has the upper hand. From a spiritual aspect and pedigree aspect, James has the upper hand, and that’s why this is a 50/50 барацьба.
“I do know Chris has learned and let’s see what is produced. It can be a brilliant fight.”
Полі Малиньяджи:
“I like our chances. I know the guy that I have been in camp with. The things I’ve seen, I like. They are much more positive this time around.
“You can’t underestimate a guy like Eubank. He always comes to win. Але, regardless of the gameplan, there is a certain mentality and my guy has it. He’s a Gold Medalist and he knows what mentality to bring on Saturday.
“James has won two major world titles, an Olympic Gold Medal. Chris has had some good wins but when he went to that elite level, he lost. Chris is a good fighter but he’s not beaten this level of opposition.”
Сан-Хасэ, ТАКОЙ ЯК (Лютага 21, 2019) – Undefeated super bantamweight prospect and rising star, Eros Correa(5-0, 5 КО), returns to the ring this Saturday in Tijuana, Мексіка. The 4-round bout is being promoted byGM3 Boxing Promotions і Акцыі бокса Гансалеса, and will take place at Cheer’s Bar, у Ціхуане. Correa will faceJose Pech, a veteran of over 30 баі.
“Я з нецярпеннем чакаю гэтага бою,” said Eros Correa, who’s guided byCali Boxing Management. “My last fight in Tijuana was my toughest opponent to date so I’m not looking past Pech. Fighting in Mexico has been great for my career. With each fight I feel I’m getting better and better. I’m gaining a lot of experience and my confidence is at an all time high. I’m also starting to build a fan base out there. Я хачу падзякаваць сваёй камандзе за ўсю нялёгкую працу. This Saturday I’ll be going for another knockout.”
Since signing with Cali Boxing Management last summer, Correa has been fighting on a consistent basis, going undefeated in four fights, усе накаўтам. This will be Correa’s second fight of 2019. In his last bout he scored a fourth round TKO.
“We are happy with Eros’ progress and we feel he’s developing into a great fighter, one that we believe will make some serious noise in the super bantamweight division,” сказаў Andrew Bocanegra, of Cali Boxing Management. “After this bout we have plans to have him fight in the Bay Area, where all his family and friends will be in attendance. He’s an incredibly talented fighter to say the least.”
“Eros’ amateur pedigree being an alternate on the 2012 Olympic team is evident and its transitioning in the pros,” сказаў Jessie Sanchez, of Cali Boxing Management. “Fighting in Mexico has been tremendous for his development.”
