Ellis Takes On DeAndre Ware In Main Event Of Tripleheader Beginning Live At 10 p.m. ET/PT From Main Street Armory In Rochester, N.Y..
NEW YORK – Януари 29, 2019 – Undefeated super middleweight prospect and Massachusetts native Ronald Ellis (15-0-2, 10 Нокаута) will look to set the tone for a successful sports weekend for New England when he takes on DeAndre Ware (12-1-2, 8 Нокаута) in the 10-round main event of ShoBox: The New Generation this Friday live on SHOWTIME (10 PM ET / PT).
Борбата, which will take place at The Main Street Armory in Rochester, Ню Йорк, will serve as another opportunity for Ellis, a native of Lynn, Massachusetts.
Ellis, who is a huge fan of his beloved New England Patriots, is eager to earn a big win and then return to his new residence in Los Angeles to see Tom Brady bring home a record sixth Super Bowl title.
“My camp went beautiful. I have had a couple camps in a row, so I was able to work on a lot of things. I learned a lot in this camp,” каза Елис.
The 29-year-old Ellis knows that he has a tough customer in front of him in once-beaten Ware.
“Ware is a solid fighter. He is real tough, and he comes forward. He is not a tall guy, but he makes up with it with his toughness. He is a former football player, and he likes to come forward, so I know he will be there.”
This will be the fourth appearance on ShoBox for Ellis, and he feels that a strong performance will lead him to major fights in the next year.
“Тази година, I have to execute. Now it’s time to perform. I just need to keep fighting, and if that happens I feel that I will be in line for a title shot in the next year. There is a lot of talent in the division, and now it’s time to knuckle up and all fight each other. I feel that I can compete with the elite of the division.”
When talking about the Patriots, Ellis lights up. He has been a fan of the team since he was a youth growing up in the Boston suburbs.
“It’s is going to be a great game. По ирония на съдбата, I moved to Los Angeles to train a couple of years ago, and for the last week all I’ve been hearing about is the Rams. It has been fun going at with the guys in the gym about the game, but I will always represent the Patriots. I am going to get the state of Massachusetts off to a good start on Friday, and the Patriots will have their arms raised on Sunday.”
Ellis and Ware headline a tripleheader that will also feature undefeated lightweights Thomas Mattice (13-0-1, 10 Нокаута) of Cleveland taking on Will Madera (12-0-2, 6 Нокаута) на Albany, New York in an eight-round bout. The broadcast kicks off with a eight-round super featherweight contest between undefeated fighters Abraham Nova (14-0, 10 Нокаута) на Albany, New York and Oluwaseun Joshua Wahab (18-0, 11 Нокаута) на Акра, Гана.

Януари 27, 2019PORTLAND, OR – (Януари 27, 2019) WBAN is proud to announce the International Women’s Boxing Hall of Fame (IWBHF), клас на 2019.
This sixth annual induction represents a record breaking number of honorees in the history of this signal institution which has recognized and honored those individuals who have, over the history of the sport of Women’s Boxing, contributed to, advocated for and brought esteem and distinction to the sport in and out of the ring.
Included in this year’s class are seven former boxers: Terri Cruz, Melissa Fiorentino, Lisa Holewyne, Carina Moreno, Bridgett Riley, Wendy Rodriquez и Martha Salazar. The Non-Boxer category includesDavid Avila, Stephen Blea и Blanca Gutierrez. Pat Emerick and Patricia [Пясъчен] Martinez-Pino are recipients in the Pioneer Female Boxer and the Posthumous categories, съответно.
FORMER BOXERS
Terri Cruzcompiled a 17-7-2 рекорд, over a nine-year career (1999-2008), highlighted by winning the IFBA bantamweight crown over highly regarded Heather Percival in 2005. Cruz’s love of and dedication to the sport brought her out of retirement in 2009 to challenge top ranked Alesia Graf for WIBA Flyweight title, losing a close decision and again in 2011 for another bout with unbeaten Susie Ramadan.
Melissa Fiorentino, a 5’1″ dynamo, imbued with the appropriate sobriquet “Ярост”, put up a sterling 17-2 record over a seven-year (2001-08) career during which she stepped in with the top ranked fighters in the featherweight class, including wins over Belinda Laracuente, Esther Schouten, Jaime Clampitt and Cindy Serrano. She capped her career, през януари, 2008, winning the IWBF super featherweight title.
Lisa Holewynefought to a 25-17-2 record over almost eight years (1998-2006) като професионален боксьор. A common boxing dictum states, “you are what your record is” and Holewyne is exactly that. Coming to the ring after a four year stint as a pentathlete at the University of Texas, Holewyne quickly established herself as an “anyone/anywhere” lightweight boxer, fighting Sumya Anani twice (when very few ranked fighters would come within a couple of time zones of that matchup), unbeaten Mary Jo Sanders twice, splitting two fights with the formidable Sunshine Fettkether to mention only some of the top opposition Holewyne sought out during a career that should serve as a signpost for any boxer seeking to do the sport the right way.
Carina Morenowas a standout in the flyweight ranks, борба, over her ten year career (2003-13), 203 rounds while compiling glittering 23-6 record against the best boxers in this competitive weight class. In addition to wins over Eileen Olszewski, Yessica Bopp and Holly Dunaway, she held the WBC and WIBA minimumweight titles for several years. She finished her career still competing against the best in her class, winning the WBA flyweight title against Susi Kentikian in Germany in December ’12, before losing a close decision to Kentikian seven months later in the same country.
Bridgett Rileyfought in the ring, for nine years (1994-03), съставяне на 15-3 рекорд, exactly how she lived life, in perpetual motion. “Busy fighter” might be an understatement, since from the opening bell, Riley had one gear, full speed ahead. She held the IFBA bantamweight title beating Yvonne Trevino over ten rounds in February ’98 and, in possibly her most remembered bout, Riley KO’d Englishwoman, Alicia Lahsen, in June ’98, after surviving an early knockdown. It was her first defense of the IFBA title. Among Riley’s other pursuits in her active life range from martial arts champion to movie stunt person.
Wendy Rodriguezis another of the West Coast fighters who brought the female bantamweight division to the attention of the boxing public. Along with her co-2019 IWBHF inductee, Carina Moreno, Rodriquez set a standard of competitive excellence in the ring that raised the public perception and appreciation of the division. Rodriquez, in her seven year (1999-08) career put up an exemplary 19-4-3. Early on, (Октомври. 2000) she fought an 8 round draw with Margaret Sidoroff and in her penultimate bout, she stepped in with Regina Halmich, (Regina was inducted into the Inaugural Class of the IWBHF in 2014) . Rodriquez finished her career on a high note, revenging an earlier loss to Holly Dunaway in the process of winning the vacant IBA minimum weight crown.
Martha Salazarcompeted as a professional boxer for 15 (2001-16) години, борба 18 times and winning 13 of those bouts. It is an unfortunate reflection of the dearth of competition at the female heavyweight level. But for those athletes who posses persistence, combined with a don’t quit attitude, заедно с, Най-важното, ring talent, the top rung of this division is attainable. Martha Salazar has those qualities in world class supply. Salazar won the WIBF heavyweight title via TKO over Pamela London in November ’04 and finished her career winning the WBC crown in a November ’14 by decision over Tanzee Daniel, before relinquishing the title via a close decision to Alejandra Jimenez in the final bout of her career in March of 2018.
NON-BOXERS
David Avilais a prominent and widely followed West Coast boxing writer. His linage to the sport comes from his father who fought a number of times at the Olympic Auditorium in the 1950s. Avila began his journalism career as a writer for the LA Times in the 1990s and is currently working for the Riverside (КАТО) Press Enterprise and La Prensa newspapers. Но, unquestionably, it is Avila’s longtime support for and advocacy of the sport of Women’s boxing and it’s athletes that has earned him this well deserved IWBHF honor.
Stephen Blea, Blea’s reputation as a boxing official has been well documented and has led him to be ranked among the finest in the sport. But it is his myriad additional contributions to the benefit to the sport and it’s athletes that makes Blea singular in the sport. He has been a coach at USA Boxing along with providing his referring and judging skill to that organization. He has coached boxing at the Denver Police department. He has managed WBC Cares for the state of Colorado and overlaid those efforts with a long time, full throated support of the sport of Women’s boxing whenever the opportunity arises.
Blanca Gutierrezis proof positive that the promotion of the sport of boxing begins with whole-hearted empathy, and few promoters in the sport of Women’s boxing can match the personal connection and caring that Gutierrez brings to the sport and it’s athletes. Her father, Javier, was a professional boxer in Mexico and and Gutierrez’s interest and love for the sport came early and fervent. She is the driving force behind Beautiful Brawlers, a West Coast promotional powerhouse, that continues as a prime force behind the recent resurgence in the sport of female boxing.
David Avila and Stephen Blea are the second and third males to be inducted into the IWBHF.
PIONEER FEMALE BOXER
Pat Emerickreduces her outlook on the sport of boxing to it’s most basic, “put one foot in front of the other and be prepared.” If only getting a chance to climb through the ropes was that easy for a female in the middle of the previous century. It wasn’t. Emerick’s opportunities were essentially limited to her hometown, South Bend, IN, където, at 5’4″, 123паунда, after losing her first bout, she reeled off 18 поредни победи, highlighted by a TKO win over Jo Ann Hagan in November ’54 before 4,000 fans in Council Bluffs, IA., winning the Ladies World Boxing Association Championship. Emerick becomes the second oldest living IWBHF Pioneer Boxer inductee, born five months after Year 1 honoree Barbara Buttrick.
POSTHUMOUS 2019 INDUCTEE
Patricia “Пясъчен” Martinez-Pino, who passed away in September of last year, was a longtime leading advocate for the sport of Women’s boxing in this country. She worked tirelessly within the sport, with the AIBA to open up opportunities for females as referees and judges and served with U S Boxing as President (Hispanic), as well as terms as Vice President and Secretary. Her untiring efforts in support of and improving conditions and opportunities for women in the sport will be well remembered and sorely missed and are best described by her co-inductee, Stephen Blea, “Sandy broke down barriers and achieved accolades no woman had achieved in this sport.”
As previously noted, на 2019 IWBHF Class of Inductees is the largest, and quite possibly, the most diverse, in the six year history of the Hall, conceived and formulated in 2014 by Sue Fox, founder and publisher of Women’s Boxing Archive Network (WBA). Fox envisioned the Hall as a needed addition to the boxing community, a way of honoring those, в и извън ринга, upon whose athleticism, support and advocacy for the sport of Women’s Boxing continues to stand on and progress.
An induction ceremony for the 2019 inductee class is being discussed and details will be announced forthcoming.

Ето какво бойците имат да кажат сряда:
КИЙТ Търман
“We’re back in Brooklyn, it’s been a long time and I’m happy. I feel slim and trim. Everything is great headed into Saturday.
“I had a lot of ups and downs, but once we got into camp, we did what we had to do. We slowly improved each day and now we’re ready. Беше бавно начало, but we’re going to be finishing strong on Saturday.
“When I’m outside of the ring, I’m not the jealous type watching other people perform. But I feel better when I’m here living out my dream. These past weeks, I have just felt so good. I feel fantastic and ready to perform. I’m going to be an active fighter and one of the best welterweights in the world today.
“My ranking, my ‘0’ and my accomplishments haven’t gone anywhere. I’ve been out of sight and out of mind for a little, но аз съм назад с предприятието. You can’t block a star from shining. We’re in the galaxy and shining bright.
“I’m definitely interested in a big unification fight with Errol Spence Jr. When I first met Errol at MGM Grand years ago, I told him that it’s nice to meet him and I can’t wait to get in there and scrap it out. I’m humble, but I’m also honest. I’m a man of my word. It doesn’t matter how many years ago that I said it, but from that day to this day, it’s a true statement.”
JOSESITO LOPEZ
“I’m confident in my abilities. Talk is cheap to me. What other people say makes no difference to me. I’ve come here to do a job and I’m going to do it.
“I know that I have a tough task ahead of me, but I also know that I can do it. I can pass this test. I’m ready for it. We’ve prepared right and everything is lined up. We worked hard for 10 weeks and now it’s time.
“It’s hard to say if Keith will be my toughest opponent, but he definitely has a great resume and is a great champion. I’ve fought some great guys but I’m taking this as the most important fight of my career.
“I think that since I started working with Robert Garcia, all of my skills are on par with Keith Thurman. Най-важното, I’m a much smarter fighter than I’ve ever been. I’m always going to be courageous in the ring, but we’ve developed a game plan where I take less unnecessary risks.
“The most important thing in my game plan is for me to dictate the pace. I need to control the ring throughout the fight. I’m prepared for however he brings the fight.”
ADAM Kownacka
“It’s going to be a sea of red and white on Saturday. The Polish fans are unbelievable and I can’t wait to go out there and get a knockout for them.
“I think I’ve improved my speed heading into this fight. Чувствам се страхотно. It’s been a long camp leading up to this huge card. I have to come out at my top condition. I made a slight statement against Charles Martin, and I’m going to make a bigger one against Gerald Washington.
“I definitely want to outdo the performances of Deontay Wilder and my friend Jarrell Miller against Washington. I want to have bragging rights. I want that knockout.
“Washington has fought contenders, good fighters and a guy I lost to in the amateurs in Nagy Aguilera. He’s proven that he’s game, and I’m expecting the best version of him. Ще бъда готов.
“Boxing is a skill, not a bodybuilding contest. I proved my conditioning last fight by throwing 70 удря кръгло. I’m in ever better shape right and I feel great.”
GERALD WASHINGTON
“We know where we want to be and we know this is a stepping stone to getting back there. I have to take the hard road and this is it. We’re prepared, we’re ready and I’m looking forward to January 26.
“Any of the top heavyweights would be great to fight, но аз съм го вземе една битка в даден момент. This is going to be an action-packed fight.
“I have the total package. We’ll see everything I learned from my last fights and see if it makes a difference now.
“I know that Kownacki is going to come forward. I know what kind of fighter he is. I didn’t come here to lose. I came here to win and get back on the right track and into contention to win the heavyweight title.
“Стилове правят боеве. I was doing very well in the Deontay Wilder fight, similar to what Tyson Fury was doing. This is a different type of fight. You’re going to see my skills come to life to contain this man.”
CLAUDIO MARRERO
“We went through a very serious, 10-week camp because we know that we’re here to fight a very strong fighter. I’ve taken everything to the fullest each day with intense work in training camp. Аз съм готов.
“We respect our opponent, but he’s coming to our weight division. I’ve been making this weight ever since I was a pro. В последния си двубой, he was dropped by Oscar Escandon, who’s a very good fighter, but he’s a smaller guy.
“We believe that this is the beginning of something beautiful. I’m going to be at the top of the rankings after this fight. We believe that winning this fight is going to take us back to the top level.
“I understand that this is my time to shine. I’m more focused and dedicated than I’ve ever been and it’s going to show in the ring on Saturday night.”
TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR
“I feel good and strong. I’ve had a great camp and I’m ready for Saturday night. I’m going to give a great show for the fans in my Brooklyn debut.
“I put everything into camp and I’m going to show it in the ring on Saturday night. I’m here to win and show off my athleticism. I believe I can do everything in the ring.
“Claudio Marrero is a good tough contender who’s been at this level for quite some time. He’s a good boxer who can punch, so we prepared for everything. He may have more pro experience, but I believe I have more boxing experience than Marrero. I’ve seen everything throughout the world.
“Now it’s just a matter of cultivating my skills and experience into becoming a world championship fighter. In this fight, I’m going to dictate the style of the fight. It’s going to go down on my terms.”
CHRIS COLBERT
“I’m going to go out there and dominate like I always do. I don’t have any resolutions for 2019. I’m just going to do the same thing and keep being great.
“New year, same me. I’m out here chasing greatness. I’m looking to keep winning and work my way to a world title. I’m not just talk, I’m the real deal.
“I don’t believe that you can be rushed into a world title fight. Аз съм готов. I don’t care if I’m considered a prospect for a contender, I’m just going to show everyone that I’m no fluke. I do this differently.
“I always fight for a cause and this time I’ve got my hair dyed pink for breast cancer awareness. It’s for my mom and all of the other survivors and people going through this.”

LAS VEGAS (Януари 23, 2019) – Although two-division world championBadou Jack dropped a decision Saturday night to fellow light heavyweight Marcus Browne, it was the courage and tenacity that he showed in fighting through what some are calling one of the worst cuts in boxing history that has had the sports world buzzing. Jack has since made it clear that his tenacity and heart is motivated by those who benefit from the work of the Badou Jack Foundation. Jack is set to embark on a goodwill mission to the Middle East today as he couldn’t wait to continue his charitable efforts overseas.
His international itinerary includes trips to the Zaatari and Baqaa Refugee Camps in Jordan and business meetings Dubai and London.
“I don’t just fight for myself, I fight for the refugee children and I was thinking of them,” said Jack. “They come from war and often don’t have any parents, so what’s a scratch on my forehead? They are going through something much worse. You have to keep fighting.”
While many were concerned with the blood that gushed from Jack’s cut round after round, the veteran fighter was able to block it out and continued to fight until the final bell. Although he was taken to the hospital immediately following the fight, Jack was unfazed by the severity of the cut, which was sewn up with nearly 100 stitches.
“I feel great right now. Things like that can just happen in the ring,” said Jack. “It was just some blood. The cut was only bothering me because I couldn’t see too well, but I was going to keep fighting no matter what. This isn’t just any other sport; its boxing. You have to fight through it.”
And fight through he has.
“I was definitely going to make my run like I have in the past,” said Jack. “I think most people in boxing know that this would have been a totally different fight. За мен, it’s not a big injury. I’m fighting for a bigger cause. Those refugees aren’t going to quit, so I sure wasn’t going to either.”

то, Вземи го, Хвани го,' Готов съм. Седем боеве – и той иска да
кутията ми? За мен това е една сбъдната мечта – но за Джойс, че ще бъде
кошмар. Ще нокаутирам Джо Джойс и стъпка над него, за да KO Антъни
Джошуа. Сигурен съм, грундирани и готови. Истинският Bermane Stiverne ще бъде
там на 23 февруари и ще нокаутира Джо Джойс на път за
въдворяване на моя тежката корона. "
Stiverne легендарния
промоутър Дон Кинг, добави, "Това е с най-голямо удоволствие, че Дон Кинг
Productions могат да съобщят за завръщането ни Jolly Old Англия – на "Люлката на
бокс” където боксьорски ми гигант – Бившата шампион в тежка категория на
Световната Bermane Stiverne започва завръщането си за сметка на Giant Joe
Джойс. за жалост, за местните феновете на Джо ще има не "отново Joycing’
– като ми веднъж – и бъдещата шампионка Bermane Stiverne ще убия Джойс точно като
St. Джордж направил драконът на стар. Но без значение, ние ще се вдигне
парчета и върнат Джойс, точно както аз съм върнал и помогна в създаването на много по-
бъдеще заедно. Спомням си, когато дойдох тук с Оливър Маккол и той е бил
даден никакъв шанс срещу Ленъкс Люис. Тогава аутсайдера стана топ кучето
когато Оливър KO'd преди непобеден шампион и отидохме у дома с
заглавие. Историята ще се повтори на 23, когато Bermane февруари
изпраща друг непобеден англичанин да победят. Сега
префасонира, реанимирано, продължен, подмладени и recommitted Bermane
Stiverne ще възкреси кариерата си на 23 февруари, когато "Властелинът на
пръстен” смазва “Властелинът на света” – "Juggernaut” Джойс
на неумолимата си марш да си възвърне титла в тежка категория на
свят. Благослови всички британски фенове, Бог да пази кралицата – но небето помагат Джо
Джойс! Ще се видим на 23 февруари.”
WBC World Heavyweight
Шампион Дионтей Уайлдър също представи своите мисли относно
интригуващ мач, той каза, “Джо Джойс ще бъде добър тест за него
(Stiverne). Виждал съм Джо Джойс преди. Той е добър боец. Джо Джойс борил
Джо Ханкс в моя undercard с Тайсън Фюри, но аз не се получи шанс да го видя
борим тази нощ. Но аз очаквам с нетърпение да го видя срещу Stiverne.”
Ричард Poxon, Великобритания
Инициатор за PBC, каза, "Познавам Джо от аматьори си дни в Шефилд.
Успехът му по време на Олимпиадата не ме изненадва. Той е прехвърлен добре
за плюсовете сега и е ясно в бързаме. Най-тежката категория е тази,
че всеки гледа отново и очаквам Джо, за да бъде в разгара на
действието през следващата година. Като на бивш световен шампион WBC в само
Вашата осми борба ясно показва какво амбиции на Джо са. "
От качването на неговата
про кариера в стремежа си да се превърне в световна шампион в тежка категория, спокойно
говорил Джойс е нека разрушителни юмруците му да говори при вземането на смели
отчети, за да направят света на бокса седне и да си вземат бележка на бързо нарастващите
звезда.
През октомври 2017 той
удивени критици, когато решат да се бори втвърдената Бившият британски титлата
претендент Иън Lewison, който току-що бе удължен голям пробиване Dillian Уайт до десет
кръга, за неговата про-дебют и го заби в осем кръга.
След това само в четвъртата си
се бори само с 12 кръгове под колана си и вътре седем месеца на завъртане
професионалист, Джойс разрушила Commonwealth шампион в тежка категория Lenroy Томас
само два кръга – за определяне на нов рекорд от тежка категория боксьор, за да спечели
Британската колан.
В последния си двубой,
Американските фенове битки имаха кратка дегустатор на това, което британската звезда е всичко за
когато той разби Джо Ханкс в кръгла, за да спечели титлата на WBA Continental
в Staples Center в Лос Анджелис при вземането на блестящия си северноамерикански дебют.
J

безспорно си строгия кариера тест до момента срещу много опитни
и също толкова големи удари Лас Вегас базирани Хаити, който е нокаутиран 21
противниците на неговия 25 победи в своята 29 бори кариера.
Stiverne по-рано проведе
короната на WBC в продължение на две години, след като победи Крис Arreola на пункта през април
2013 да спечели титлата и след това в реванша го разрушава отвътре шест кръга
в първата защита на титлата май 2014.

в следващия защитата на титлата си от сблъсък WBC Световната тежка категория през януари 2015.
Stiverne стана първият човек, за да Wilder отвъд който в този момент е имал
заличи всичките си опоненти вътре четири кръга. В реванша почти
три години по-късно, Stiverne намеси в последния момент, когато оригиналната Уайлдър
противник Луис Ортис неуспешен тест за наркотици и поради неговото бездействие е бил спрян
в кръгла.

LAS VEGAS (Jan. 19, 2019) – All-time greatМани "Pacman" Pacquiaocruised to a comfortable unanimous decision overAdrien “The Problem” Bronerto defend his WBA Welterweight World Championship on SHOWTIME PPV®Saturday night in front of a sold-out MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The scores were 117-111, 116-112 два пъти.
The global icon and boxing’s only eight-division champion Pacquaio – who was fighting for the first time as a 40-year-old, and the first time in the United State in more than two years – used effective jabs and sustained body work in his 70татаprofessional fight that was watched by an announced attendance of 13,025 Феновете, including the retired Floyd Mayweather.
“I proved in my last fight against [Lucas] Matthysse and now I proved it again: The Manny Pacquiao journey will still continue,” Pacquiao said.
Asked by SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray if he would like to rematch Mayweather in the future, Pacquiao said he’d do it if Mayweather unretired.
“Tell him to come back to the ring and we will fight,” Pacquaio said. “I’m willing to fight Floyd Mayweather again if he’s willing to come back to boxing.”
SHOWTIME Sports official scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 118-110 in favor of the Filipino Pacquiao (61-7-2, 39 Нокаута), giving Cincinnati’s Broner (33-3-1, 24 Нокаута) only the fourth and the 10тата кръга.
Broner said he thought he did enough to win the fight. “I beat him,"Той каза. “Everybody out there knows I beat him. I controlled the fight, he was missing. I hit him clean more times. I beat him.”
Pacquiao maintained a strong pace throughout the fight, хвърляне 47 punches per round compared to Broner, who averaged almost half that output. Broner was limited to single-digit total connects in every round while Pacquiao exceeded double-digits five times.
“I wanted to push more but my trainer said don’t be careless,” Pacquiao said. “Wait for him, counter, and that’s what I did.”
В съвместно функцията, Staten Island native Marcus Browne (23-0, 16 Нокаута) won defeated a bloodied Badou Jack (22-2-3, 13 Нокаута) by upset unanimous decision for the Interim WBA Light Heavyweight belt. The scores were 119-108, 117-110, 116-111.
Jack suffered a gruesome five-inch cut to his forehead after an accidental clash of heads in the seventh round of the fight. The former Olympian Browne told Gray the head butt did not affect the outcome of the fight.
“He couldn’t find me before that [head butt],” said the 28-year-old Browne, who made his professional debut onShoBox: Новото поколение following the 2012 Олимпиада. “He couldn’t find me. I was just too sharp, too slick, too anything. He was coming with his head all night. He kept coming with his head.”
The Las Vegas resident and former two-division champion Jack was taken immediately to the hospital for observation. Крик, who was fighting in his seventh consecutive world title fight, gave all the credit to Browne. “I was flat,"Той каза. “I don’t know what it was, but no excuses. I would love the rematch. Now I have to rest, get the head fixed and hopefully get that chance in the future.”
Browne was the more active fighter, хвърляне 515 total punches to 303 for Jack. Browne connected on 103 of his power punches compared to just 58 for Jack.
The taller, southpaw Browne said he stuck to his game-plan and peppered Jack continuously with his strong straight left jab. “He thought he was going to take me to deep water and drown me, but I was in shape,"Той каза. “Teddy Atlas, you think you have the best light heavyweight? (Олександър) Gvozdyk, let’s go.
“I just used my athletic ability and did what I do best, and that’s box the hell out of people.”
In a rematch of their close 2012 Olympic showdown, France’s Nordine Oubaali (15-0, 11 Нокаута) captured the vacant WBC Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision against Cincinnati’s Rau’shee Warren (16-3, 4 Нокаута). Резултатите бяха 117-111, 116-112, 115-113.
“This was my dream,” said Oubaali, който правеше му северноамерикански. дебют. “I made my dream come true, my American dream. I want to thank all the people of America and France who supported me.”
By winning the all-southpaw matchup, the 32-year-old Oubaali became the first French-born champion in 11 години.
The first six rounds were close as both fighters were separated by four or fewer punches. Oubaali controlled the fight in the middle rounds, with SHOWTIME’s official scorer Steve Farhood giving the more active Oubaali rounds five through 10 before giving Warren the close 11тата.
“I felt like I was doing pretty good in the beginning of the fight but after the fifth or sixth I let off the gas,” said Warren, a former world champion. “I was using my jab and wanted to finish it with my left hand. The judges saw it the way it was. He wanted it more. You could tell. He had his foot on the gas.”
The seventh round was the most action-packed of the fight with Oubaali going on the attack and hurting Warren by landing effective combinations. Oubaali pulled away in the final six rounds as he out-landed Warren 100-51 in total punches and was the effective aggressor and the more active fighter.
Following the ninth round, Warren’s trainer Barry Hunter could be heard telling Warren he needed each of the final three rounds if he was going to win the fight.
“I put on the pressure,” Oubaali said. “I had the speed. He is a very good boxer – he’s slick, and he’s smart. This is a very big night to win my first world championship.”
In the telecast opener, Hugo Ruiz (39-4, 32 Нокаута) was successful in his featherweight debut as he dominated late replacement Alberto Guevara (27-4, 12 Нокаута), knocking him down once in the opening minute of the fight and winning easily on all three judges’ scorecards 100-89, 99-90 два пъти.
The fast starting Ruiz, кой има 18 previous knockouts in round one, showed his early power and he sent the former two-time world title challenger Guevara to the canvas with a strong right followed by a left uppercut at 1:41 на първия кръг.
“It was hard for me training for a southpaw and then getting a new opponent I knew nothing about,” said the 30-year-old Ruiz, from Los Mochis, Синалоа, Мексико, who is a former world champion at 122 паунда. “The other guy was a puncher and this guy is a boxer. It’s tough to fight a guy who is just trying to survive out there and running. He came in and got caught early, and that set the pace for the rest of the fight.”
Mexico’s Guevara was fighting on just one days’ notice after Jhack Tepora failed to make the 126-pound weight limit on Friday.
“It was supposed to be a title fight,", Каза Руис. “I was so disappointed and my mind wasn’t totally in it.”

The super
welterweight division remains one of the hottest divisions in boxing with
unified champion Jarrett Hurd, newly crown champion Tony Harrison, former world
champion Jermell Charlo, former title challenger Julian Williams and Lara all
circling each other for supremacy in the weight class.
“This night of exciting action is headlined by two Cuban
stars who will surely put on a display of the immense skill and determination
that Cuban boxers are known for,” каза Том Браун, President of TGB
Promotions. “Erislandy Lara has long been one of the best, if not number
one, in the 154-pound division and he will look to get right back into that
class by taking the WBA title from a hard-hitting and undefeated Argentine in
Brian Castaño. Luis Ortiz has another opportunity to show why he’s one of the
most-feared punchers in the heavyweight division and prove that he deserves a
rematch for the title with Deontay Wilder. Christian Hammer has fought against
the best at heavyweight and he isn’t coming here to lie down for Ortiz. When
you add the Ricardo Núñez vs. Edner Cherry fight that is sure to bring action,
it adds up to another can’t-miss night at Barclays Center and live on
SHOWTIME.”
“Erislandy Lara is one of the most talented junior
middleweights in the world, and while Brian Castaño is not yet a household
name, he was a world renowned amateur and is undefeated as a pro,” said
Lou DiBella, Президентът на DiBella Entertainment. “This is a must-win fight
for Lara and Castaño’s chance to establish himself as one of boxing’s rising
stars. Luis Ortiz is a dangerous man. His ‘King Kong’ nickname is appropriate,
as no one wants to fight the beast. You saw why in his spectacular challenge
against Deontay Wilder. Tested world class contender Christian Hammer will
attempt to derail ‘King Kong’ in his quest to secure another world title
shot.”
“Over
the last few years SHOWTIME has spotlighted the progression of the super
welterweight and heavyweight divisions as they have emerged as two of the
hottest and deepest in the sport,” каза Стивън Еспиноза, President of
Sports and Event Programming, SHOWTIME. “На март 2, we will further that
with a pair of the most dangerous and perhaps most avoided fighters in boxing
in Erislandy Lara and Luis Ortiz. Both are in significant and difficult
matchups. Brian Castaño is young, undefeated and although
already the champion, looking to make a mark on the division with a signature
win over Lara. Add in an all-action 130-pound bout and we have a dynamite
three-fight card.”
“I’m
thrilled to welcome both Erislandy Lara and Luis Ortiz back to Barclays Center
for what will be an exciting night for fight fans in Brooklyn,” said Brett
Yormark, Главен изпълнителен директор на Global BSE. “Both fighters have put up compelling
performances in our ring, and will face tough competitors on March 2. I am also
looking forward to BROOKLYN BOXING returning to SHOWTIME for the first time in
2019 for an evening of world class matchups.”
Lara
(25-3-2, 14 Нокаута) was the longest reigning 154-pound champion until he lost a
split decision to Jarrett Hurd on April 7 in a unification bout on SHOWTIME.
Now the 39-year-old Lara, who was born in Guantanamo, Cuba and lives in
Houston, looks to grab a title and once again stake his claim as one of the
division’s best. He has one of the strongest resumes in the division, having
fought Hurd and former 154-pound champions Canelo Alvarez and Austin Trout.
“I’m very excited to be back headlining SHOWTIME in
another major fight,” Саид Lara. “Brian Castaño is a young undefeated
champion with a strong amateur pedigree. I look forward to being in the
ring with him and putting on a great fight for the fans. I can’t wait to being
crowned world champion again. Everyone tune in March 2nd, you don’t want
to miss the whole card, it’s going to be sensational.”
The
29-year-old Castaño (15-0, 11 Нокаута) has worked his way up the ladder in one of the
toughest divisions in boxing with raw power and toughness. Castaño, who is from
Buenos Aires, fits well into the mold of the Argentine sluggers before him –
such as former champions Carlos Monzon, Sergio Martinez and Marcos Maidana. He
will battle Lara after wins against Michel Soro in 2017, where he captured the
interim 154-pound, and Cedric Vitu in 2018, where he captured the belt he will
defend on March 2.
“I’m
thrilled to be facing Lara as he was a great champion and still one of the best
fighters out there,” said Castaño. “Obviously this is the
most important fight of my career and I know it will be difficult because of
his experience. I have my own experience however, and I’m willing to prove that
I belong with the best tin the division. I know he will get onto his bike and
move around the ring, but I have the strength to knock him off.”
‘King
Kong’ returns to New York on March 2 as Ortiz (30-1, 26 Нокаута), a southpaw power
puncher, enters the ring with two solid knockout victories under his belt since
losing to WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder at Barclays Center last
March. The 39-year-old Ortiz, who is from Camaguey, Cuba and now lives in
Miami, Флорида, is still considered one of the top five heavyweights in the
division. He most recently scored a knockout victory over Travis Kauffman on
December 1.
“‘King Kong’ is coming back to Brooklyn!” said
Ortiz. “I’m very excited to be back on SHOWTIME in a huge event at
Barclays Center. Christian Hammer is a very good fighter and I will be prepared
for the best he has to offer. Come March 2, I’m hammering my way past him and
setting up a clash with the winner of Wilder-Fury II or Anthony Joshua. I can’t
wait till Brooklyn.”
Чук
(24-5, 14 Нокаута) has dueled some of the top heavyweights in the sport, including
Tyson Fury and Alexander Povetkin. The 31-year-old Hammer, who was born in
Galati, Romania and lives in Hamburg, Германия, has put together two victories
since he lost a unanimous decision to Povetkin in 2017. In his last fight he
scored a KO victory over then-unbeaten Michael Wallisch on December 15.
“I’ve
been in training since right after Christmas for this big opportunity,”
said Hammer. “I won my last fight by knockout, but I’m preparing for 12
hard rounds against Ortiz. A fight like this in New York is very special to me.
This is the reason I became a boxer. The fans can look forward to a real
heavyweight thriller on March 2.”
The
hard-hitting Panamanian Núñez(20-2, 18 Нокаута)
will be fighting for the first time in the United States on March 2. The
25-year-old is on a nine-fight winning streak in which he has scored eight
knockout victories. He most recently delivered a first-round knockout of
previously unbeaten Elvis Torres in June.
Череша
(37-7-2, 19 Нокаута) has put together a three-fight win streak since losing to Jose
Pedraza in a featherweight title match in 2015. The 36-year-old Cherry, who was
born in Nassau, Bahamas and now lives in Wauchula, Флорида, has defeated Dennis
Galarza, Omar Douglas and Haskell Rhodes heading into March and has faced top
fighters including Tim Bradley and Paulie Malignaggi throughout his career.

Thurman
will return to action on January 26 from a long injury layoff after his most
recent fight saw him unify welterweight titles by defeating Danny Garcia in
March 2017 в Barclays Center. Here is what Thurman had to say about his
return, Josesito Lopez and more from his training camp at the St. Pete Boxing
Club in St. Petersburg, Флорида:
How has training camp been going? Have there been any
adjustments because of the injury?
“Training
camp has been going well. It was a little bit of a slow start after so many
months out of the ring, but I’m feeling great as we get closer to the fight.
I’m starting to feel more and more like a world-class athlete again. It’s a
good feeling working this hard and it reminds me what it’ll take to continue
being the champion.”
Do
you anticipate any ring rust? Do you think it will be more difficult to feel
like yourself physically in the ring, or mentally trusting the injury is
healed?
“I
don’t think ring rust will be an issue. The only thing that even if this may
not be the best Keith Thurman that people have ever seen, we’re focused on
getting better and much stronger with each fight. But make no mistake, people
will see one of the best welterweights in the world on January 26 at Barclays
Center.”
When did you start to feel like you were turning the corner
physically? Were you ever worried you wouldn’t be healthy enough to fight?
“You
always have to be a little worried about new injuries. There’s nothing wrong
with your car until the day it decides to break down. So at the end of the day,
it’s always in the back of my mind. I run a lot of miles, so I wonder about my
knees. I wonder about my shoulders also. Athletes and their bodies go through a
lot of things. But here I go getting right back into things and I’m totally
ready to showcase my talents on January 26.”
What kind of challenges does Josesito pose? What makes him a
difficult opponent for you coming off a layoff?
“Josesito
is experienced. He’s a busy fighter with good reach. He likes to mix it up and
force his opponents to fight. He also has a new coach in Robert Garcia now, and
I know he has a lot of confidence in his abilities. Josesito has been through
ups and downs in his career, but he’s back on an upswing at the moment. Then he
pinpointed me and called me out. So I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
What are you looking to show in this fight? How do you
control your emotions and make sure you don’t press too much?
“I’m
going to show my versatility in the ring. I’m going to show Josesito what it’s
like to be in the ring with me. He might think it’s just all about my power,
but I’ll show him what none of his sparring partners could. I’m going to show everyone the full
package of skills I bring and enjoy every second of it.”
How do you see this fight looking stylistically?
“I
like to let my opponent show me how the fight is going to go. I’ve thought many
times that my opponents would do something specific, but then they do something
totally different in the moment.
“I’m
just prepared for any version of Josesito. I’m ready for him to come at me with
punches in bunches, but I’m also ready if he wants to try box more and work
behind his jab. I don’t think there’s anything that he’s going to do that I
won’t be able to dominate. I’m going to move, trade on the inside, whatever it
takes and we’ll see which road to victory looks the easiest.”
