A real cross roads fight with lots on the line for the winner to emerge as the new dominant name in the talent packed super Bantamweight division.”

The 27-year-old Ergashev (15-0, 14 KOs) is a former member of the Uzbek national team where he won 202 de son 216 amateur bouts. A decorated amateur, Ergashev remporte une victoire sur Shakhram Giyasov d'Ouzbékistan, a silver medalist in the welterweight division at the 2016 Jeux Olympiques de Rio.

Ergashev, who started his pro career by registering 11 KO consécutifs, made hisShoBox debut in January 2018, handing then-unbeaten and top-10 ranked 140-pound prospect Sonny Fredrickson the only loss of his career with a third-round TKO. The southpaw slugger, who was named one of ESPN’s top prospects of 2018, trains in Detroit under Javan “Sugar” Hill Steward and Rick Phillips at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit.

“I’m very excited to fight on SHOWTIME again,Dit Ergashev. “Everyone says Mykal Fox is my toughest opponent to date, but that doesn’t concern me. It actually excites me because when I knock him out, just like I knocked out Sonny Fredrickson, all of the champions in my weight class will know I am coming for them soon. It’s going to be Shoh-time in 2019!"

Contrairement à son adversaire, Renard, 23, had a rocky amateur journey amassing 40 victoires et 60 losses—two of his wins came over undefeated top prospect Lamont Roach. Renard, 6-pied 3 ½-inches from Forestville, Maryland, admitted that he was not disciplined and fully committed to the sweet science in his teenage years, but once he turned pro in 2014 everything changed and boxing became his way of life. Depuis, he has defeated all of his 19 adversaires, five by way of knockout. Renard, who is promoted by King Promotions, owns victories over the likes of former world champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley, Ricardo Garcia and Anthony Mercado.

Fox comes from a family of boxers. He is trained by his father Troy and his older brother and formerShoBox fighter Alantez (24-1-1, 11 KOs) is a 160-pound prospect whose only defeat came by the hands of Demetrius Andrade.

“It’s been a dream of mine to fight onShoBox. It has catapulted the careers of some of my favorite fighters,” said Fox, who is making his debut on the series. “I’m hoping it will catapult my career too.

“My opponent is a good fighter. He has good feet, good speed and great power. This is going to be a fight that can potentially steal the show. I look forward to seeing how our styles matched up.”

Hernandez (12-1, 7 KOs) broke onto the scene in 2017 with back-to-back wins over previously undefeated, top-15 ranked fighters onShoBox– a unanimous decision over Glenn Dezurn and a fifth-round TKO of Vladimir Tikhonov. Hernandez followed up those performances with a split-decision over Ernesto Garza in January 2018. The 28-year-old Hernandez, le plus jeune de 15 enfants, était 73-6 as an amateur and took five years off from boxing between 2009 et 2014 to work construction jobs in his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas.

“On February 15, fans can expect to see the best performance from Jesse Hernandez yet,»Dit Hernandez, who will be making his fourth appearance onShoBox. “It’s been a long time coming and I won’t let this opportunity pass me. A win over Thomas Ward will definitely boost my career and hopefully lead to a world title shot. I know I will have all eyes on me on national television, I must impress. I believe the bantamweight division is mine for the taking. So I will go head and take what’s rightfully mine.”

Ward hails from County Durham in North East England, where he compiled an amateur record of 60 victoires, just four losses. The 24-year-old turned professional in 2012 à l'âge de 17 et par 2017, he had won 20 straight fights and the British super bantamweight title. Actuellement classé Non. 4 by the WBO, Ward hopes a win in his U.S. debut will set him up for a world title shot.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday in Las Vegas:

Manny Pacquiao

“I feel so blessed and happy because of the excitement around this fight. It’s come from the fans here in the U.S. and media all over the world. I want to go out there and make all the people happy.

“The knockout in my last fight felt good. It felt like my younger days against Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto et d'autres. That fight was a big challenge for me to recover from the fight against Jeff Horn. People said that my career was done. But I never got discouraged, I just worked hard and made the knockout against Lucas Matthysse happen.

“These days I don’t only train my body, but also my mind. I’m a Senator, so my mind is very busy. I also play chess regularly and read books to keep my mind sharp.

“People writing me off after the Jeff Horn fight was good for me. I’m not mad at anyone who thought that. It just became a challenge and a test to me of whether or not I could still show my best.

“Being back here at MGM Grand makes me so happy. C’est un honneur d’être à ce poste. I remember my first fight here in the U.S. was at MGM Grand. I will never forget that moment and now I get to come back here and do it again.

“I know he is going to counter me but we’re ready for that. What happened in the Juan Manuel Marquez fight will not happen again. It was a mistake and I learned that mistake. We’ve worked on that in this training camp. I am prepared for Broner’s style.

“This is a challenge because it is my first fight as a 40-year-old. I have something to prove to everyone about what that means. Age is just a number. What matters is how you prepare and that you’re working hard.

“I don’t need to dislike my opponent to want a knockout. I’m just doing my job in the ring. Si le coup de grâce vient, ça arrive. We’re hoping to have that opportunity Saturday. I have to pressure him to make him open up. Wherever he goes, Je serai là.

“I’ve always stayed disciplined throughout my years in boxing. I’m always making sure everything is in order and on point during my workouts. That plus cross-training with activities like basketball has helped me stay in this position all these years.”

ADRIEN BRONER

“I’m not up here to talk a lot of trash. I’ve put in the work. Il est temps de se battre. Après j'ai gagné, everything is going to be different.

“People are talking a lot about Pacquiao fighting Floyd Mayweather again, but I’m pretty sure Floyd is retired. I feel like people are trying to throw me to the wolves and overlook me.

“He doesn’t remind me of any past opponents just like I’m not going to remind him of anyone he’s fought. He’s never fought anyone like me. Every fighter has similarities, but truly every fighter is different. If I remind him of Floyd Mayweather, I hope his arm doesn’t hurt after this one.

“Look at my last five fights. I’ve fought world champion after world champion. I don’t duck any fights. I don’t care how many weight classes he’s won titles in.

“I’m not in awe of any fighter, especially Manny Pacquiao. I hope he’s in awe of me. I’m a one of a kind fighter too. I’ve made history in this sport.

“I just have to go out and win this fight, then everything is going to start going my way. samedi soir, Je vais être victorieux. This is a defining moment in my career and it’s going to be one of the biggest nights of my life.

“Pacquiao hasn’t fought me so I’m not worried about what he says about me right now. He’s going to have a different outlook after he fights me Saturday night.

“I’m going to turn Las Vegas into a big block party after I win on Saturday night. It’s going to change my career.

“Manny Pacquiao has done a lot for the sport. I’m going to beat him up and have a drink with him afterward. I grew up in boxing and I know what’s going on. It’s a business, but don’t get it twisted, I’m going to dominate and win.

“This is going to be a hell of a fight. I’ve trained so hard and I want everyone to know that I play around a lot, but when that bell rings, Je vais être prêt. I didn’t come here to lose or lay down. I came here to get this victory. Real talk.”

BUBOY FERNANDEZ, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

“I’m very thankful to this great team that we have that has prepared Manny for this challenge. I know that we worked very hard for this. I cannot fly without wings, but I can bring the belt back to the Philippines.

“Manny has trained hard and we expect a good fight. This is the hardest I’ve seen him train and it will be seen in the ring Saturday night”

Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

“We’ve trained really hard for this fight. Manny is looking really good and is in tremendous shape. I’m sure Adrien is also because they’re both great fighters. I wish both men luck and may the best man win.”

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner’s Co-Trainer

“We’ve had a tremendous training camp. Adrien is ready to go. Everyone who knows me, knows that all I have in this world in my word, and I don’t break it for nobody. I’m giving you my word that Adrien will put on a spectacular performance on Saturday night.

“I’m guaranteeing that Adrien will send Manny back to the Senate, beltless, without the WBA title. I guarantee it.”

MIKE STAFFORD, Broner’s Co-Trainer

“Adrien came to me when he was 55 pounds and seven-years-old. He was an underdog then and he came back day after day. People thought he was a bad kid, but I told people that I saw something in him.

“Freddie Roach didn’t know who Adrien was years ago when we were getting ready to work with the Olympic team together. But he got to know Adrien, and on Saturday night, Manny is going to know him too. That’s for sure.”

JOE RAMOS, COO of Manny Pacquiao Promotions

“We are honored, humbled and proud to be a part of this amazing event. This will be Manny’s 20e fight in Las Vegas and we’ve been treated amazingly throughout the entire promotion. I’m thankful to all of Team Pacquiao for the work they do and helping make everything run smoothly.

“We all know that Adrien is ready and we expect nothing but the best from him and his team on Saturday night.

“MGM Grand is known for the lion, and Lenny the Lion is right there when you enter the building. Le samedi soir, Manny will show his heart of a lion for fans all over the world and prove once again that he’s the king of the jungle.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, PDG de Promotions Mayweather

“About three and a half years ago I sat here opposite this great legend in Manny Pacquiao. I’ve studied this man for many years and today he’s still one of the best welterweights in the world. He still has tremendous explosiveness and power, but more importantly the experience to beat any welterweight in the world.

“Pacquiao has been doing this for so many years that we forget how truly great this man is. He’s in a very comfortable position right now. He’s super motivated and thats what is going to make this a great fight on Saturday night.

“Coming into this fight we all know that there have been rumblings about what Adrien needs to do to win this fight. But what I’ve witnessed firsthand this entire promotion, is that this man has dedicated himself 100 pour cent. He’s done everything his coaches have asked of him and he’s exceeded those expectations.

“Adrien Broner is ready, concentré, and he’s put in the work. He’s put himself in the best situation to be successful on Saturday night. I expect nothing less than a great virtuoso performance. He didn’t cut one corner this training camp. He wants to prove to everyone, that everything people have said about him can be thrown out the window. He’s coming to show the entire world what he’s all about.”

Ravone LITTLEJOHN, CEO of About Billions Promotions

“Adrien trained really hard for this fight. I’d like to thank Kevin Cunningham and Mike Stafford, they put together a great game plan. Adrien will be ready.

“There’s been a lot of talk from Pacquiao’s side about getting a knockout, but you’re the one getting knocked out. You’ve been knocked out, we haven’t.

“This our first time on this stage and in this position and it’s been very enjoyable. Adrien and I have put a lot into this over the last 10-15 ans. We’re pulling for our guy 100 percent.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Sport Président & Programmation de l'événement, Showtime Networks Inc.

“I’m not going to come up here and tell you all anything you don’t already know about Manny Pacquiao or Adrien Broner. These are two guys who have operated at the highest level of boxing for years. In Manny’s case, literally decades. But I will remind you of some things.

“Manny Pacquiao is a Hall of Famer, aucune question à ce sujet. He’s a boxing legend who’s generous, humble and soft-spoken outside of the ring. But most of all, he takes tough fights. Le dernier 20 opponents Pacquiao has had have been current, future or former world champions.

“Adrien Broner has faced nine world champions in 37 combats de carrière. He’s obviously demonstrated himself as being an elite fighter. He’s flashy, flamboyant, sometimes outrageous, but he’s always unapologetically himself.

“On Saturday night, everything changes. Pacquiao is no longer soft-spoken and Broner is no longer fun-loving and outgoing. They transform themselves into two of the most athletically gifted and ferocious warriors in our sport. Above all these two guys have heart, which is the rarest thing in this sport.

“Between the two of them, they’ve won titles in 12 divisions de poids. That’s the third most of all-time, trailing just Mayweather vs. Pacquiao and Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya.

“We know this is an elite fight and these fighters are in elite company. But on Saturday night, none of that matters. It’s not a contest of who has the best resume. This is a high level contest with high stakes between two of the most talented and athletically gifted fighters in the sport today. A win in this fight catapults each of these men to bigger things. It doesn’t get any more significant than that.”

RICHARD STORM, President of Entertainment and Sports for MGM Resorts International

“I’d like to welcome back Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner, two of the sport’s best fighters, back to Las Vegas and MGM Grand. Fans are always excited to watch these two fighters compete in the ring and we’re confident that Saturday’s event will kick off another exciting year of sports and entertainment programming for MGM Resorts.

“I’m thankful to all of the people who have helped make this fight happen here in Las Vegas. We look forward to seeing everyone at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday night for this sensational event.”

MINNEAPOLIS (Janvier 16, 2019) – Former super middleweight world champion Anthony Dirrellgets an opportunity to rejoin the championship ranks when he battles top contenderAvni Yildirim for the vacant WBC Super Middleweight Championship in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes Saturday, Février 23 de l'armurerie à Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Tickets for the event, qui est promu par Warriors Boxing et TGB Promotions, are on sale now, and can be purchased at the Armory athttp://ArmoryMN.com/and through Ticketmaster.

“Fight fans in Minneapolis and watching on FS1 and FOX Deportes are in for a treat with this high stakes world title showdown between Anthony Dirrell and Avni Yildirim,” Leon Margules dit, Président de Warriors Boxing. “Dirrell has been a champion and amongst the division’s elite for years, while Yildirim always comes to fight and will be determined to make the most of this opportunity. With the addition of local fan-favorite Jamal James in welterweight action, this is shaping up to be a can’t miss night at The Armory.”

“Anthony Dirrell took a long, difficult road to get to the super middleweight championship and he has worked hard to get into position to reclaim the title,” a déclaré Tom Brown, Président de TGB Promotions. “Avni Yildirim has been one of the most active contenders in the division and he has gained significant experience since his last opportunity to win a championship. He will need all that and more to get past Dirrell. And it’s going to be a special night watching Jamal James fighting for his hometown fans again.”

Dirrell (32-1-1, 24 KOs) won the WBC Super Middleweight Championship with a unanimous decision victory over Sakio Bika in 2014. It was the culmination of a long, hard road for Dirrell of Flint, Michigan after he successfully battled non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and was cleared to return to boxing after completing chemotherapy in 2008. His reign as world champion was cut short when the 34-year-old Dirrell lost the title by majority decision to Badou Jack in 2015. He has won five straight since that loss to climb back into contention for a chance to become a two-time world champion.

“This is just like every other fight where we’re going to work on a game plan and execute that game plan in the ring,” Saïd Dirrell. “I saw him fight Chris Eubank and it showed me some things. He’s a come forward fighter. That’s the kind of guy I like to fight. He’s tailor-made for me. I’m going to do what I do best and that’s fight. I’ve been keeping my mind, body and soul together and staying focused to know what I have to do to become two-time WBC champion.”

Yildirim (21-1, 12 KOs) is one of the most active contenders in the super middleweight division. The 27-year-old from Istanbul, Turkey has fought at least four times a year since 2014. The fight against Dirrell will be only the second time that he has fought in the United States after defeating Glen Johnson in Miami in 2015. Yildirim suffered the only loss of his professional career by stoppage against Chris Eubank, Jr. en 2017. In his last fight he won a majority decision against Lolenga Mock and he enters this fight on a five-fight winning streak.

“I’m very thankful to everyone who helped me get this opportunity and I know that I have all the tools to beat Anthony Dirrell,” said Yildirim. “Dirrell is a good fighter, but I believe I bring more to the table than him. I’m coming to win and bring the belt home to Turkey. I waited all my boxing life for this stage and I am ready to give him a war.”

Jacques (24-1, 11 KOs) has become a local favorite and will be fighting in front of his hometown crowd in Minneapolis for the third straight time. The 30-year-old James has rolled off four consecutive victories since suffering the first loss of his career – a unanimous decision loss to Yordenis Ugunes in 2016. In his last fight James stopped Mahonry Montes by knockout on August 24 sur FS1. Gonzalez (19-1-1, 15 KOs) is a power-puncher from Cartagena, Colombia and is coming off the first loss of his career via a unanimous decision to Radzhad Butaev in 2017.

“I’m hungry to make 2019 the year that I get that world title,” a déclaré James. “I’m focused on my opponent, but in this fight I’m going to keep showing off the skills and speed that makes me the next champion. I’m extremely grateful to be fighting again at home and to keep bringing PBC to Minneapolis. I’m going to be the next champion from here and the journey starts fresh for 2019 when I step into that ring on February 23.”

“I’m excited for this opportunity to fight Jamal James in his backyard and leave all his hometown fans disappointed,” said Gonzalez. “I’m training harder than ever to bounce back from my loss and show everyone what I’ve learned. This victory is going to put me back on the path to becoming word champion.”

Laisser un commentaire

NOUVEAU YORK (Janvier 16, 2019) — Split-T Management is proud to announce the signing of 21-time National Amateur Champion, Otha Jones III to a managerial contract.

Le 18 year-old Toledo native was among the top talents in the United States, as he compiled a staggering 283-13 amateur record, highlighted by representing Team USA in several international tournaments including winning a Gold Medal at the International Youth Continental Americas Tournament and Silver Medal at the Emil Jechev Memorial Tournament as well as winning several national tournaments, such as the winning gold medals in United States National Championships (Deux fois) and the World Championship Qualifier.

Jones, who was also a four-time State Wrestling Champion, was influenced to sign with Split-T Management because of what the company has done for his gym mates.

“After seeing the hard work and dedication and excellence that Split-T Management has shown to my teammates Charles Conwell and Isaiah Steen, I definitely could not think of signing with anyone else,” dit Jones.  Split-T is definitely the best management team in boxing. I am honored to be a part of the team.”

Jones’ dad, also named Otha, shares the same sentiments as his son.

“Based upon the quality of boxers that Split-T Management has signed, and been successful at moving, it was just a natural progression that I would sign my son with them,” said the elder Otha.

Split-T Management feels that Jones will captivate the boxing world because of his fan friendly style that is reminiscent of fellow Ohio native, Aaron Pryor, as he fights aggressively while throwing nonstop punches from all different angles with power.

Said Tim Van Newhouse of Split-T Management, “At a conventional or southpaw stance, Otha is a relentless pressure fighter, who is composed beyond his years, with a dynamic blend of aggression, vitesse et de puissance.

“Otha Jones is one of the most exciting fighters we have ever signed,” Said Split-T Management CEO, David McWater. “l will never forget the first time that I saw him on tape, or the first time I saw him live. I knew right away this kid had everything. Il’ is exactly the kind of athlete I got into this business to represent.”

There will be a major announcement Jones’ future very soon.

“I’ve been here before, and even though I haven’t been in a fight of exactly this magnitude, I’m just treating it like any other fight. He’s another opponent.

“A lot of people are saying that Pacquiao’s age will be a factor, but I’m not looking at it like that. You see guys like Floyd Mayweather who stay undefeated at an older age. I’m just focused on being me. As long as I do what I have to do, Je vais être victorieux.

“We’re ready for whatever this fight is going to end up being. It could definitely be a war. I’ve always been an underdog. I came from the trenches and I’m bringing that mentality into the ring.

“I can take over boxing with a win over Pacquiao. There are a lot of great fighters in this sport, but they just don’t bring what I bring to the table. With a win like this, it would put me right where I was always meant to be.

“I’ve always wanted to fight the big names like this and I knew that I just had to keep working hard and the time would come.

“Once that bell rings, I’ll make my adjustments and go ahead and get my victory. I don’t have anything I want to go out and prove. It’s just about winning. That will say everything.”

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Entraîneur de Broner

“Preparation has been great. Camp a été énorme. Adrien is ready to go and extremely focused for this fight. He came into camp that way and it’s stayed that way.

“We added some things this training camp, because we know he’s fighting a legendary fighter. This is one that he has to have and he realizes it. I expect a spectacular performance.

“I think on Saturday night that Adrien is going to be that guy that everyone expected him to be from day one. It will open a lot of eyes. I believe that we put the work in. I can’t see Adrien coming out of there without a victory.

“The key to victory is for Adrien to just be himself. He has to do what he does best with no hesitation. He’s going to throw the right punches at the right time.

“Pacquiao still throws combinations but they don’t come in as fast or as sharp as they used to. He can throw as many punches as he wants to throw, but if they’re not landing, it doesn’t mean anything.

“I think Adrien is the quicker fighter. Quickness offsets speed, all day, every day. It’s all about being quick enough to time the guy with your hand speed. It’s different than just throwing a bunch of fast punches.”

LOS ANGELES (Janvier 13) – The challenger proved to be the aggressor as Caleb Plant became the IBF Super Middleweight World Champion, defeating Jose Uzcategui in the main event of the first Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes event of 2019, which took place at the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live in Los Angeles. Plant dominated the whole fight as he maintained a fast and aggressive pace from the opening bell.

With scores of 116-110 deux fois et 115-111 in favor of Plant, the freshly crowned champion, Plant fell to his knees overcome with emotion when he heard “and the new!".

“I’ve worked my whole entire life for this,” said Plant. “I buried my daughter in the process of trying to get this belt. I promised I would bring her this title and that is what I am going to do.”

The super middleweight barnburner started out strong with both combatants throwing exchanges, but Plant did everything in his power to never back down. Uzcategui threw hard right hands to start the second round, but Plant quickly turned the round in his favor as he knocked Uzcategui to the canvas with a flurry of punches, only the third time Uzcategui had been knocked down in his career. A small cut opened under the left eye of Uzcategui to start the third, but he fought through it and fended off Plant’s aggression. One minute into the fourth round, a cut opened up under Plant’s right eye causing blood to stream. That did not stop the Nashville native as threw a hard left hook that once again sent Uzcategui to the canvas.

As the fight progressed, the Venezuelan was unable to utilize his distance, thus allowing Plant to fight on the inside. Despite good exchanges in the seventh and eighth, it became increasingly clear that Uzcategui would need a knockout to hold onto his belt. Uzcategui flipped a switch in the championship rounds and came forward, throwing hard blows to the body and head of Plant. But it was too little too late for Uzcategui as Plant’s ring generalship controlled the pace of the fight, ultimately ending in a unanimous decision.

“I knew I caught him clean [when I knocked down Uzcategui], but I knew he wasn’t all the way out so I took my time,” continued Plant. “I stayed relaxed. I stuck to the game plan and got it done just like I said I would.

“This is overwhelming. I am a kid who came from nothing. I believed in myself and now I’ve been crowned king. Maintenant, I am not thinking ahead. I just want to embrace this moment and soak it in.” 

“I did feel that I had the advantage heading into the fight,” said Uzcategui. “I went down because I was off balance, but I wasn’t hurt. He started to get tired around the sixth round, which was the plan. Caleb knew how to clench and hold. He was smart. He knew how to stay away from the punches.

“I expected more movement and more boxing out of him,” continued Uzcategui. “I would love the rematch. I think everyone saw a great fight tonight. I gave him the chance at the title and I would hope he would give me the chance to win it back.”

Unbeaten Brandon Figueroa (18-0, 13 KOs) de Weslaco, Texas faced former world title challenger Moises Flores (25-2, 17 KOs) de Guadalajara, Mex. in a WBA Super Bantamweight title eliminator. Figueroa wasted no time attacking Flores in round one as he came forward and threw several hard lefts followed by a body shot that seemed to surprise Flores. Avec 30 secondes dans la ronde, Figueroa went for the body and worked Flores on the inside. While Flores seemed to find his footing at the start of round three, Figueroa unleashed a flurry of punches that sent Flores to the canvas once and then a second time that ended the fight at 1:35 de la troisième ronde.

“Break him down and finish him,” said Figueroa “This is exactly how I expected it to go. I knew that he wasn’t going to handle those body shots. My message to Daniel Roman is that I am going to go home and prepare.

“I used that body work,” continued Figueroa. “I am really strong. I came in at 110 percent and did my job. I could have done better. I am really hard on myself. I know there are things I can continue to work on and will do that as soon as I get home. I am most definitely ready for a title shot.”

Fast-rising undefeated star and PBC Prospect of 2018 Joey Spencer (6-0, 6 KOs) of Linden, Michigan, continued his impressive knockout streak as he defeated Brandon Harder (2-2, 1 KO) of Southaven, Mademoiselle., in a super welterweight contest that saw Spencer knocking down Harder three times in less than two rounds. The 18-year-old Spencer, qui s'est battu, qui a combattu 100 se bat comme un amateur, established his jab early and landed at will. He threw and landed a straight right at the end of round one that sent Harder to his knees. Forty-five seconds into round two, Spencer sent Harder to the canvas again followed by a swarm of punches that ended the fight at 1:27 de la ronde.

“Fans are going to see that I give it my all when I get in the ring and I’m going to put on a show,” said Spencer. “You’re going to get more and more tests in my career and I believe I will rise to the level of my competition. Sometimes you’re in there with an awkward guy, he proves to be a test. I’ll move to six rounds for my next fight. I want to fight four times this year and I’m looking forward to it.”

The Premier Boxing Champions Prelims on FS1 featured three bouts that all ended in exciting knockout victories, kicking off a great night of fights.

The Prelim telecast featured the long-awaited ring return of Guillermo Rigondeux (18-1, 12 KOs) who hadn’t fought since December 2017. The Cuban fan-favorite faced Giovanni Delgado of Tacubaya, Mex. (16-9, 9 KOs) and knocked him out in the last second of round one with an overhand left. Delgado could not be saved by the 10 count and the fight was called in favor of Rigondeux.

“This is my division. Ce est mon temps,»Dit Rigondeaux. “I am the king of 122 livres. Je me sentais 100 pour cent. Delgado is a good fighter. I take my hat off to him and his team. I came prepared and I am ready to face people that are undefeated. Whoever has a belt, I am taking it. You can expect me back in less than two months.”

“I fought my idol tonight,” said Delgado. “I knew he hit hard, but I didn’t know he hit that hard. I have been cleared by the doctor and am fine. Just a little bit in shock.”

A scheduled eight-round light heavyweight bout featuring Egypt’s Ahmed Elbiali (18-1, 15 KOs) against 16-year veteran Allan Green (33-6, 22 KOs) de Tulsa, OK saw Elbiali knock Green down in every round. Cependant, Green did showcase his experience choosing to go toe-to-toe despite Elbiali’s aggression. En fin de compte, it was a right uppercut followed by an overhand right that sent Green to the canvas as Elbiali scored a knockout at 1:16 de tour de trois.

“I was easier than I thought it was going to be,” said Elbiali. “Losing to Pascal the way I did, it messes with you mentally. I was trying to stay on my A-game. Stay focused and thankfully it showed. My game plan clicked really well. I have been sparring with Caleb (Usine) and other great guys. That keeps you sharp and alert. I would love to win a world title and be the first Egyptian win a world championship.”

In the opening bout of the Premier Boxing Champions Prelims on FS1, Mexican Olympian Lindolfo Delgado (8-0, 8 KOs) of Linares, Mex. continued his professional knockout streak as he defeated Sergio Lopez (22-13-1, 15 KOs) of West Covina, CA via knockout at 2:48 de la troisième ronde. Delgado has yet to fight 30 rounds in his eight fights as a professional. He was clearly the aggressor throughout the fight and landed almost 50 percent of his power punches.

SHREVEPORT - Janvier 12, 2019 - Devin Haney a passé le plus gros test de sa jeune carrière vendredi soirShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération, le coup d'envoi du 2019 année de boxe avec une performance éblouissante et une victoire par décision unanime sur son compatriote ancien champion sud-africain invaincu Xolisani Ndongeni en direct sur SHOWTIME de StageWorks de Louisiane.

Haney (21-0, 13 KOs) a marqué un renversement au deuxième tour et portait du Ndongeni (25-1, 13 KOs) vers le bas avec des coups de corps punitifs dans la dernière partie du combat en gagnant facilement sur les cartes de pointage des trois juges, 100-89 deux fois, et 99-90.Voir le renversement du deuxième tourICI.

Haney a déclaré à Steve Farhood de SHOWTIME dans le ring après le combat qu'il voulait seulement être considéré comme un prétendant à partir de maintenant. «Je veux ces meilleurs gars,"Il a dit. «Maintenant, ils ne peuvent vraiment pas me refuser. Je dis ça depuis longtemps mais maintenant, Je suis un candidat. »Voir l'interview d'après-combatICI. 

Le renversement est venu à 1:30 du deuxième tour alors qu'une main droite de Haney a atterri au ras du sol, frappant le Ndongeni déséquilibré sur la toile. Mais ce sont les coups de corps de Haney qui ont épuisé le Ndongeni têtu, qui combattait aux États-Unis pour la deuxième fois. Haney voulait vraiment mettre fin au combat avec un KO, même en disant à son père Bill Haney entre les tours, «Je vais l'assommer!"

«C'est un grand combattant,», A déclaré Haney, qui avec la victoire remporte les ceintures WBO Intercontinental et WBC International. "Vous ne le faites pas pour 25-0 sans être personne. Je savais que ça allait être un adversaire coriace depuis le tout début. C’est un très bon combattant et je ne l’ai pas choisi. C'était l'adversaire qui est venu et tu me connais, Je ne refuse personne. Je combat celui qui vient devant moi.

Farhood a dit 2019 pourrait être l'année où Haney se bat pour un titre mondial. «Je suis impressionné car il a montré une facette de lui-même que nous n'avions jamais vue auparavant,», A déclaré Farhood, membre du Temple de la renommée de la boxe internationale. «Pour un jeune combattant, bien qu'il soit très doué, vous voulez le voir gérer toutes sortes de situations. Il est allé au corps efficacement et si le combat continue 30 secondes de plus, il obtient l'arrêt. Est un combat pour le titre mondial en 2019 une possibilité? Sûrement. Juste parce qu'il est 20 ne veut pas dire qu'il n'est pas assez bon. Il est clair qu'il n'y a personne qui va le sortir de sa boîte. "

Farhood a finalement donné un tour à Ndongeni pour la première fois au septième alors qu'il utilisait un travail corporel efficace pour contrôler le tour., bien que jamais visiblement blessé Haney ou le mettre en trop grand danger.

Alors que le combat devenait de plus en plus profond, Haney a continué à devenir plus fort. Dans les deux derniers tours, il a dirigé 69-28 sur tous les coups au sol (16-6 coups et 53-22 puissance). Dans la dernière minute du tour final, Haney a envahi Ndongeni 23-3 au total se connecte.

«Je deviens plus fort à chaque combat et je sens la force de mon homme émerger,”A dit Haney. «Ndongeni est un combattant très résistant. J'attribue son grand cœur pour le garder dans le combat. Je savais que j'étais le combattant supérieur. J'ai montré à tout le monde que je pouvais me battre pour avancer, Je peux boîte, Je peux frapper, Je fais tout. Je suis prêt…personne ne m'arrête.

Dans une bataille de Rubens invaincu, ancien décoré amateur Ruben Villa (15-0, 5 KOs) a remis le Colombien Ruben Cervera (10-1, 9 KOs) sa première défaite en carrière marquant une décision unanime dominante, 80-72 sur les trois cartes de pointage dans le combat de huit rondes poids plume.Voir les temps forts du combatICI.

Le double champion olympique national junior de 21 ans et le 2014 et 2015 Champion national des gants d'or de Salinas, Calif., Villa a surpassé et surperformé le Cervera, plus lent mais déterminé, en route vers une victoire décisive.

«C'était bien de se battre sur la grande scène et j'ai remporté la victoire contre un combattant invaincu très dur.,», A déclaré Villa, ancienne suppléante olympique. «Je sentais que je contrôlais tout le combat avec mes compétences de boxe supérieures. Je suis prêt à passer au niveau suivant. Je prends tous les arrivants, peu importe qui ils sont, Je sens que je suis le meilleur poids plume du monde. "

Au sixième tour, Villa s'est mise au travail avec une main droite forte et a suivi avec des jabs et des combinaisons qui semblaient faire le buzz Cevera, qui a été dépassé sur les coups de poing dans le tour 35-5.

Le jab était l'arme clé de Villa alors qu'il menait 105-23 dans se connecte ainsi que la tenue d'un 36 pour cent à huit pour cent d'avantage en précision de jab. Villa a dépassé les deux chiffres en jabs à chaque tour sauf le premier.

Le gaucher Villa a déclaré que visiter Riverside et passer du temps avec Robert Garcia bien formé avait aidé son jeu.. «Je vais me donner un 8 ou 9 ce soir,"Il a dit. «Je crois en ma vitesse. Je sais qu'il y a des gars comme [Abner] Mares et [Lion] Santa Cruz que les gens connaissent, mais visiter Riverside m'a permis de voir que je peux y entrer avec n'importe qui.

Cevera est devenu le 182Dakota du Nord combattant de carrière pour perdre son record invaincu surShoBox. «Je savais que Ruben Villa était un combattant très rapide parce que j'ai vu une vidéo de lui, mais je ne savais pas qu'il était aussi rapide,”A déclaré Cervera. "Il est beaucoup plus rapide quand vous le voyez dans le ring. J'ai essayé tout ce que je pouvais mais ma distance était loin. J'ai pu les frapper avec quelques combinaisons et il a probablement senti ma puissance. Je ne suis pas en désaccord avec la décision des juges, il était le meilleur homme ce soir.

Dans l'ouvreur télédiffusé, Poids lourd cubain Frank Sanchez (11-0, 9 KOs) a surmonté un délai de 14 minutes entre le premier et le deuxième tour assommant l'ancien joueur de football universitaire Willie Jake, Jr. (8-2-1, 2 KOs) à 2:59 du second tour. Les deux combattants se sont assis calmement sur leurs tabourets pendant que les promoteurs locaux travaillaient à réparer deux des cordes tombées de leur poste.Voir les temps forts du combatICI.

Après avoir contrôlé l'action au premier tour, Les coups de poing bruts de Frank ont ​​tout simplement maîtrisé le plus lourd Jake, l'attrapant avec un coup d'œil droit à la tête et un crochet de manchette sur le corps qui a fait tomber Jake face première sur la toile et le combat a été agité avec juste une seconde restante au deuxième tour.

Sanchez était le chasseur le plus précis à l'atterrissage 39 pour cent de ses coups puissants sur Jake 25 pour cent. Il a également distancé le natif d'Indianapolis au total se connecte (28-15) et dans les coups puissants au sol (20-14).

«Je voulais montrer au monde que je suis la nouvelle sensation de boxe cubaine,»Dit Sanchez, qui a grandi à Guantanamo, Cuba, et réside maintenant à Miami. «Je n'ai pas laissé le retard de la corde de l'anneau affecter mes performances. J'étais prêt à partir quoi qu'il arrive. Mon manager le grand Richard Steele [ancien arbitre de boxe] prépare déjà mon prochain combat. Je viens pour tout le monde dans la division des poids lourds. Tous les prétendants feraient mieux de faire attention. »

L'événement a été promu par Devin Haney Promotions et Bishop Promotions LLC, en association avec Banner Promotions et Thompson Boxing. La diffusion complète sera rejouée lundi, Janvier 14 à 10 p.m. ET / PT sur Showtime EXTREME et sera disponible sur SHOWTIME ANYTIME® et SHOWTIME sur DEMANDE®.

 LAS VEGAS(Janvier 10, 2019) – Former two-division world championBadou Jack hosted a media workout at Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas Thursday as he prepares to take on unbeaten top contenderMarcus Browne for the WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Title Saturday, Janvier 19 on the Pacquiao vs. Broner SHOWTIME PPV® event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Tickets for the event, which is promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, are on sale now and start at $100, not including applicable service charges, and can be purchased online through AXS.com, charge by phone at 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

A resident of Las Vegas, Jack is preparing to fight in his adopted home city for the 11etime as a pro on January 19. He will be making his third appearance on SHOWTIME PPV, having won a light heavyweight crown against Nathan Cleverly in August 2017 sur le Mayweather vs. Événement McGregor.

Here is what Jack, his trainer Lou Del Valle and Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe had to say Thursday:

BADOU JACK

“I feel young and like I’m still improving. I take care of my body every day. Age won’t be a problem for me, it’ll be an advantage.

“I’m a confident fighter. I don’t need to talk and brag about everything. I’m just comfortable; à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur de l'anneau.

“I’m battle-tested. I’ve been in there in tough fights. He hasn’t been tested like that, so we’ll have to see what he’s capable of when the pressure is on.

“Marcus Browne is an athletic and skilled fighter. But it’s a little different to fight on the prospect and contender level versus on this world class level.

“One of my biggest strengths in the ring is my ability to adjust. Mon entraîneur, Lou Del Valle, has really helped in that regard. He’s been in there as a world champion like me on the big stage. He knows so much about boxing.

“This is nothing new to me. I’ve been on a lot of big cards, so this is a regular day on the job. It’s exciting as always and I can’t wait to put on a good show.

“I feel like it’s my duty to give back outside of the ring. With this platform that I have, why wouldn’t I? We should use this platform for something deeper than boxing.”

On the Pacquiao vs. Broner SHOWTIME PPV main event:

“It’s a really good fight. Pacquiao looked pretty good in his last fight, but Broner is very talented. Tout peut arriver en boxe, especially because Broner has a good chin and can fight. He just has to stay focused.”

LOU DEL VALLE, Jack’s Trainer

“Camp has been amazing. Every camp has just been better and better. He has improved on his weaknesses each time we work together. It’s incredible that a guy who’s 35-years-old can keep performing the way he is and still be getting better.

“We know that we have to be careful because Marcus is a good fighter. Everyone we fight at this level is quality. We’re only fighting champions and guys with the top pedigree. The better the fighter, the better we get.

“I don’t think that Marcus Browne wants to go the distance with Badou Jack. If you notice in previous fights, guys who fight Badou are not the same after. He takes a lot out of them and I think it’s going to happen again. Marcus is going to go for the early knockout, but we’re ready.

“The experience gap is a big difference. I had only fought one 10-rounder when I first fought for the title, but I still thought that I could beat him. The experience that Virgil Hill had over me was really difficult to overcome and I think you’ll see something similar play out in this fight.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, PDG de Promotions Mayweather

“I think that this is going to be a very competitive fight. You have two guys in this fight that are very hungry. There are a lot of options in the light heavyweight division, and it’s all about timing. This fight gives both guys a chance to prove that they want to be the best and make a great statement.

“This fight has a very good chance of stealing the show. I like the fact that Marcus is very confident. If you’re in a big fight, you have to be. Badou is even-keeled, and he comes with his workman-like approach to every fight.

“Experience is everything in big fights. It’s a big deal when you’re under those lights. Going the distance with top guys, and knowing how to break guys down, it all plays a big role in fights like this.”

CITATIONS FINALES:

DEVIN HANEY:

«Il s'agit d'un combat en 10 rounds pour les ceintures WBO Intercontinental et WBC International, donc c'est un gros problème. C'est un vrai pas en avant pour moi.

"Il est important pour moi de me forger un nom dans différentes régions du pays. J'ai combattu dans le sud de la Californie et à Philadelphie, et maintenant je me bats en Louisiane. Ce combat je montrerai qui est Devin Haney. Dans ce combat, je montrerai mes compétences et je montrerai tout mon arsenal.

«Mon style n'est pas un style que les gens veulent combattre. Je combattrai quiconque est là-bas. Nous n'avons pas reçu beaucoup de rappels. J'ai reçu d'autres offres de toutes les meilleures sociétés de promotion, mais je veux rester indépendant et prendre mes propres décisions.

«Mon adversaire a un style maladroit. Je sais qu'il a beaucoup de confiance et il pense qu'il peut me battre. C'est super pour lui, mais il n'a affronté personne avec ma combinaison de vitesse et de puissance.

«À la fin de ma carrière, je pense que ce serait formidable si le monde continuait à dire, "Je ne sais pas s'il peut prendre un coup de poing." Ce serait le but. "

EXCUSER LE MUR:

«Je me suis entraîné et me suis entraîné avec des gars au gymnase Mayweather à Las Vegas pendant quatre mois en 2017. J'ai beaucoup appris et une très bonne expérience.

«Je vois un jeune, bonne perspective à Devin Haney. Je dois juste suivre mon plan de match. Il ne réalise pas à quelle vitesse je vais. Je vais montrer des looks différents, et savoir ce qu'il compte faire. Tout ce que Haney apporte, Je vais ajuster.

«J'ai été dans des eaux profondes et j'ai plus de rondes que Haney. Cette expérience sera payante pour moi.

«J'ai été renversé une fois dans ma carrière. Il était tôt et je suis revenu pour l'assommer cinq fois et j'ai gagné le combat.

«Haney veut être qualifié de prétendant. J'ai été candidat et je sais ce qu'il faut pour être au plus haut niveau du sport. Je n’ai jamais pris un combat auquel je n’étais pas préparé ou que je pensais ne pas pouvoir gagner. »

VILLA RUBEN

"C’est passionnant et ce vers quoi nous travaillons. Le poids contracté est 128 pour ce combat, mais je suis un poids plume naturel à 126. Je suis un gaucher mais un droitier naturel. Je lance beaucoup de jabs, qui est mon style.

«Je représente Salinas et je veux être un jour champion du monde. Je suis seulement 21 ans, et se battre déjàShoBox est un rêve devenu réalité.

"Les gens disent que je n'ai pas les KO, mais c'est dans mon esprit et ils viendront. La puissance et les KO viendront.

«J'ai battu Devin une fois [Haney] par décision unanime chez les amateurs. J'étais 15, et c'était en finale des Jeux olympiques juniors. Devin est vraiment lisse et agressif et il bouge bien. C'est comme ça que tu l'as battu.

RUBEN CERVERA

«Je n’ai jamais été aux États-Unis, et je l'aime ici. La conférence de presse et l'attention portée à ce combat est incroyable. J'ai l'habitude de regarder ce genre de trucs à la télévision. Mais mon esprit est totalement concentré sur ce combat.

«J'ai du pouvoir dans tous mes coups. Je suis un combattant fort qui doit faire un pas en avant dans ma carrière. Je suis jeune, seulement 20 ans, donc je suis impatient de faire avancer ma carrière.

«Je sais que Villa est un gaucher. J'ai combattu des gauchers plusieurs fois au cours de ma carrière et je n'ai eu aucun problème avec ça.

«Il y a beaucoup de talent en Colombie, mais il n’y a pas les ressources nécessaires pour faire une bonne carrière. Vous devez sacrifier beaucoup et c’est ce que j’ai fait. »

FRANK SANCHEZ

"Je mesure 6 pieds 4 pouces et j'utilise ma taille à mon avantage. J'ai quitté Cuba en 2016 et ma famille est toujours à Cuba. Mon frère est le seul ici aux États-Unis avec moi.

«Je vis à Miami maintenant et je m'entraîne là-bas. Ce sera ma base maintenant.

«J'adorerais me battre [Deontay] Wilder. Je veux être champion du monde alors peut-être qu'un jour je le ferai. Sa technique est un peu sauvage.

«J'ai eu une grande expérience amateur et je suis un ancien membre de l'équipe nationale amateur cubaine. Je sais que ça va m'aider. Je sais qu’il n’ya jamais eu de champion des poids lourds de Cuba, et j'ai l'intention d'être le premier.

WILLIE JAKE JR.

"Indianapolis est une ville difficile pour être boxeur car il ne se passe pas grand-chose là-bas.

«J'ai joué au football universitaire [pour Pasadena City College] mais je me suis blessé au poignet et j'ai décidé d'entrer dans l'armée.

"[Franc] est un petit garçon. Il a besoin de maturation. Je sais qu'ils font les choses différemment là-bas à Cuba, mais nous nous battons tous les deux pour nos familles. Je vais lui faire savoir qu'il doit être un poids lourd. "
