明尼阿波利斯 (二月 24, 2019) – 安东尼Dirrell的 (33-1-1, 24 科斯) 打败主治医生耶尔德勒姆 (21-2, 12 科斯)by technical split decision (96-94 X 2 for Dirrell, 98-92 for Yildirim) for the vacant WBC Super Middleweight World Championship in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes from the Armory in Minneapolis. Referee Mark Nelson stopped the contest in the tenth round due to an accidental clash of heads and a cut over Dirrell’s left eye with the decision going to the scorecards.
“I was upset with the stoppage because I wanted finish the fight like a champion,” 说Dirrell的. “It feels great getting my WBC belt back. We want to unify against Caleb Plant or any of the champions. I’m just going to go home, take some time, talk to my camp and then we’ll go from there. If the Benavidez fight comes calling then I’ll fight him.
“I thought I was winning this fight by more than what the judges had,” added Dirrell. “I was jabbing him and he was applying some pressure, but that’s just what he does. I won the fight though and that’s all that matters.”
Minneapolis-native贾马尔 - 詹姆斯 (25-1, 12 科斯) scored a crowd-pleasing technical knockout win overJaner Gonzalez (19-2-1, 15 科斯). Midway through the sixth stanza, James appeared to drop Gonzalez with a straight overhand right, but referee Gary Miezwa declared it a slippage. Near the end of the sixth round, James landed another knockdown and this time it counted and hurt Gonzalez. At the close of round six, Gonzalez went to his corner and never came out with the fight being declared a sixth-round stoppage as Gonzalez was unable to answer the bell for the seventh round.
“This is the best crowd I’ve ever fought in front of,” 詹姆斯说. “We packed this place out. Middle of winter, snow all around us and they still came out and showed a lot of support. I can’t even explain the feeling to come out here and stop (冈萨雷斯). The only question I have is where’s my belt? I’m ranked third in the WBA. Keith Thurman got the belt, Pacquiao got the belt. 但在所有诚实, whoever gives me that opportunity I’m stepping in there with them.
“He gave me a great fight, but at the end of the day I had too much to offer and he couldn’t get back up,” continued James. “I just kept my range and was able to counter on him. And when he was coming in he was coming in real wild and opening himself up for some big shots that I was able to take advantage of. The first time he went down I thought it was a legitimate knockdown, but the ref was a good ref. I definitely caught him with a good combination and a nasty body shot for the second knockdown. 之后, I knew that took the rest of the fight out of him and all I had to do was finish the job.”
“I was thinking this was a very important fight for my career,” 冈萨雷斯说. “I was so happy for this fight, it just didn’t go my way. I am going to fight again, 虽然. Every fight is a learning experience for me.”
The FS1 and FOX Deportes opening bout featured a hard-fought rematch between杰森罗萨里奥 (18-1-1, 13 科斯) 和 马科斯·埃尔南德斯 (13-2-1, 3 科斯). 在二月 2018, the two fought to a draw. 在复赛中, Rosario was able to secure a technical knockout with referee Celestino Ruiz halting the action 2:45 into the ninth frame. 在停止时, Hernandez was up on judge Kyle Shiely’s scorecard (77-75) with Rosario ahead on judges John Mariano’s and Tim Taggart’s scorecards (78-74, 77-75).
“He let his guard down and he kept making the same mistakes,” 罗萨里奥说. “当我看到机会, 我把他.
“The first time we fought I wasn’t ready,” added Rosario. “I was weak. But I learned from the first fight what to do in the second one. That’s how I took him out.”
“It was a close fight that could have went either way,” 埃尔南德斯说. “他打了我一个好球. I got up and felt O.K. I was just trying to dodge some shots and he hit me with a left. He was firing and I just should have thrown back.
“I think the ref stopped the fight early, but that’s not my job,” continued Hernandez. “I’d definitely welcome a third fight with Rosario, 虽然. I’ve never been afraid to fight anyone, so fighting him a third time wouldn’t be a problem at all.”
In the Premier Boxing Champions on FS2 prelims, 科比佩雷拉 (16-2, 13 科斯) 赢得一致决定 (78-74, 79-73 X 2) 以上 Breidis普雷斯科特 (31-16, 22 科斯).
“I’m very happy with my performance tonight,” 说佩雷拉. “I felt great going the distance. My endurance was fantastic. I would have been much more aggressive and thrown harder shots, but I hurt my hand in the second round and it was hurting the rest of the fight. I just used my jab and ring generalship to control the fight and get the win.”
The FS2 co-feature saw货币鲍威尔四世 (9-0, 5 科斯) stopJavier Frazier (8-9-1, 4 科斯) by third-round technical knockout (2:03). Powell landed 86 punches in the bout, 36 of which were to Frazier’s body.
“This training camp we really worked on a lot of body shots,” said Powell. “I feel like body shots are neglected nowadays and body shots pay the bills, break you down real quick.”
In the FS2 swing bout, 奥斯汀Dulay (13-1, 10 科斯) scored a very quick first-round knockdown of亚德利·克鲁兹 (24-13, 14 科斯) before cruising to a third-round stoppage (:27).
“I just listened to my coaches and they told me to be a dog and come forward,” 说Dulay. “I thought I had him stopped with that first knockdown after the opening bell, but I didn’t want to rush into anything because he has a ton of experience.
“I want a rematch with Chris Colbert right away on the April 13 card here at the Armory,” added Dulay. “I got back in camp after that loss, figured out what was wrong, got a nutritionist and moved up to 135 英镑. 我觉得比以往任何时候都好, so I’m definitely ready for that rematch.”
In the opening televised bout on FS2, Justin Pauldo (12-1, 6 科斯) scored a first-round knockdown and stoppage (1:17) 针对 Federico Malespina (16-11-2, 2 科斯) who was unable to continue.
“I landed a solid straight right hand,” said Pauldo. “I saw him fall back into the ropes and I knew I had him hurt. 所以, I touched the body and got him out of there quickly.”

“Everybody knows that I’m coming to win that world title. This is my time on Saturday night. I will leave the ring with that belt.”
JAMAL JAMES
“All the work has already been put in. Now it’s time to give everyone a show. We’ve had a great camp. I’ve been training hard with my guys, including some work down in Miami. Now we’re ready to show the action on Saturday night.
“At this point in my career, every fight is a championship fight, because I’m so close to that level. If you slip up once, then you fall back. We have to stay ready.
“We’ve been training hard. There’s been a lot of work on technique and work on being prepared for anything that comes in the ring. 在我的脑海里, I train for him like he’s the ultimate opponent.
“I’m a lot more comfortable in my hometown after fighting here a lot recently. Sometimes you want to perform so well in front of all your people that you press, but now I’m a lot more calm. I’m not overlooking this fight at all, but I’m gunning for that title fight.”
JANER GONZALEZ
“I’m very thankful for this opportunity to be in this great fight. My team has me prepared for this fight and has given me great support throughout training camp.
“我 100 ％的准备. I’m going to bring this fight and leave it all in the ring for my home country of Colombia.
“I had been preparing in Colombia with Breidis Prescott and it’s gotten me in top condition for the fight. I’m ready to do it in the ring.
“I know James is fighting at home but they can’t help him in the ring. It’s just me and him and I plan on breaking him down and getting the win.”
LEON MARGULES, 勇士拳击总统
“It’s great to be back at the Armory in Minneapolis. This is our third PBC event here and it’s just a terrific venue with an enthusiastic and great crowd for boxing.
“This is a fantastic card headlined by a world championship fight. This is going to be a terrific fight to prove who is the best super middleweight. You don’t want to miss a high level fight like this one on Saturday night.
“Everybody in Minnesota knows Jamal James, as he’s become one of the stars of the boxing community here. I believe someday he’s going to be a world champion.”

RIVERSIDE, CALIF. (二月 15, 2019) – 曾经被击败的竞争者 “疯子” 马科斯·埃尔南德斯 will look to continue his winning streak from “The Contender Season Five”, when he rematches Jeison Rosario live on FS1 and FOX Deportes Saturday, 二月 23 from the Armory in Minneapolis and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
Coverage on FS1 and FOX Deportes begins live at 10 P.M. AND / 7 P.M. PT and is headlined by former WBC super-middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell facing Avni Yildirim for the vacant WBC Super Middleweight Championship.
The 25-year-old from Fresno, California is looking to continue his journey to a world title as he has beaten four well-regarded prospects in only fifteen fights. Hernandez is currently training with Henry Ramirez in Riverside, 加利福尼亚州, and looking forward to his rematch with Rosario, who he fought to a draw last February in Texas.

Here is what Hernandez had to say about his upcoming matchup and more:
On his rematch against Jeison Rosario: “I fought Jeison Rosario almost one year ago exactly. I have a lot of respect for him because we fought to a draw, but that being said, I felt I got the better of him. This not a six-round bout like our first match, this is a ten-round fight, and I know what needs to be done to further my career with my performance in this fight.”
在他最近的训练营: “I really like training with Henry Ramirez in Riverside, 加利福尼亚州. Henry is a cool guy who’s trained a lot of top fighters and knows what it takes to get the job done. In Fresno there were many distractions, so moving away from my family, my wife and kids, it is a sacrifice that I make to go to the next level. This is a job and I treat it like a job. I am doing everything possible to be a contender.”
On fighting on this PBC event on FS1 and FOX Deportes: “I’m very excited as this is my fourth time on FS1. I love what Premier Boxing Champions is doing for the sport of boxing, bringing fights to network television. FS1 has been good to me and I am excited that one of my biggest wins will be on FS1 so everyone can watch it.”
On his goals for 2019: “我想保持活跃, but my focus is solely on Rosario and getting that win. My hopes are to get in with a fighter with a big name. 我已经打了很多艰苦的战士, but not a lot of big-name fighters yet. I am hoping that by the end of this year I can fight one of those fighters’ people have seen on television for years.”

“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,” 说莱昂Margules, 勇士拳击总统. “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,” 说汤姆·布朗, TGB促销总统. “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的
(32-1-1, 24 科斯) 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,” 说Dirrell的.
“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.”
耶尔德勒姆
(21-1, 12 科斯) 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. 在 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.”
詹姆斯
(24-1, 11 科斯) 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 Ug上s
in 2016. In his last fight James stopped Mahonry Montes by knockout on August
24 在 FS1 上. 冈萨雷斯 (19-1-1, 15 科斯) 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,” 詹姆斯说.
“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.”

I’m learning how to parry punches and my defense is improving. On offense, I’m using my jab more to set up combinations. With Chris in my corner, I feel I have someone who can help me make the proper adjustments in a fight.”
On facing veteran Allan Green:
“I know I’m up against a fighter in Allan Green who’s been in the ring and went the distance with some very good fighters. 他有很多的经验，, so I must fight wisely to be victorious. I’m going into this fight with a do or die mindset and I’m going to leave everything in the ring.”

On making his return to the ring:
“I only fought once last year so I’m hoping to get back on track fighting regularly in 2019. I think with a few more fights I’ll be ready to challenge anyone in my division. I just need to stay active.”

can’t wait.”

in the division, but I will take that spot after I take his title from him. All
I can tell him is be ready.”
On fighting for his first world title:
“This has been a lifelong dream of mine to
be fighting for a world title and now that time has finally come. I’ll be
fighting for my daughter Alia, may she rest in peace. The trials and
tribulations I’ve gone through to get to this point have been overwhelming at
times, but they’ve only made me stronger. I’ve worked hard for this defining
moment in my boxing career and I’m going to rise to the occasion, and everyone
will hear the words…And The New!”
On fighting on FS1 and FOX Deportes during the
NFL Playoffs on FOX:
“It’s going to be a big weekend for sports
with the NFC playoffs going down on FOX, but the night is going to be capped
