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,” トム・ブラウンは言いました, TGBの社長
プロモーション. “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, ベラエンターテイメントの社長. “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,” ステファン·エスピノーザは言った, President of
Sports and Event Programming, ショータイム. “マーチオン 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, BSEグローバルの最高経営責任者（CEO）. “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.”
ララ
(25-3-2, 14 戦績) 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,” ララは言いました. “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 戦績) has worked his way up the ladder in one of the
toughest divisions in boxing with raw power and toughness. 栗, 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,” Castañoは言った. “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 戦績), 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, フロリダ州, 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.”
ハマー
(24-5, 14 戦績) 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, ドイツ, 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 戦績)
3月にアメリカで初めて戦う 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.
チェリー
(37-7-2, 19 戦績) 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, フロリダ州, 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.
