Davisas ir Gamboa varžysis dėl WBA lengvo svorio kategorijos pasaulio čempionato Atlantos pirmojo pasaulio čempiono kovoje daugiau nei 20 Metai kitą šeštadienį, Gruodis 28 Gyvena Showtime® Iš valstybinio ūkio arenos
ATLANTA – Gruodis 18, 2019 – Kada Gervonta Davis ir Yuriorkis Gamboasusirėmimas į laisvą WBA pasaulio lengvaatlečių čempionatą gruodžio mėnesį 28 apdovanojimų pelniusioje „State Farm“ arenoje Atlantoje, jie sukurs istoriją seniai nepakankamai aptarnaujamame bokso židinyje, kuris surengė monumentalias kovas, kuriose dalyvavo Šlovės muziejus Muhammadas Ali ir Evanderis Holyfieldas.
“Tiesiog būti paminėtam su tomis Šeimininkų salėmis yra nuostabu,” Sakė Davis. “Aš prarado žodžių. Tai ne tik man didelė, tai didelis bokso mieste ir visiems kitiems kovotojams, kurie turi galimybę kovoti ant kortos.”
Davis vs.. „Gamboa SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING“ transliacijoje yra dvi pasaulio čempionų varžybos ir tai bus pirmasis pasaulio čempionato renginys Atlantoje daugiau nei 20 metų. Jeanas Pascalis gins savo WBA lengvo svorio kategorijos pasaulio čempionatą prieš buvusį dviejų divizionų čempioną Badou Jacką, dalyvaudamas „Premier“ bokso čempionų renginyje..
Iki gruodžio mėn 28, paskutinę kovą dėl pasaulio čempionų titulo Atlantoje suvienijo sunkiasvorio pasaulio čempiono Evanderio Holyfieldo IBF ir WBA gynyba prieš Vaughną Beaną rugsėjo mėnesį 19, 1998. „SHOWTIME“ tiesiogiai transliavo šią kovą iš nuo tada nugriauto Džordžijos katedros 41,357 dalyvavę gerbėjai pamatė Atlantoje gyvenantį „Bean Bean“ 10oji ratą pakeliui į vieningą sprendimo pergalę.
Nepaisant stipraus aktyvumo ir šventinės atmosferos Holyfield vs.. Pupelė, „Famer Holyfield“ salė Atlantoje kovojo tik keturis kartus 57 beveik tris dešimtmečius trukę profesionalūs renginiai. Miestas surengė pirmąją Holyfieldo kovą dėl titulo, dvikova, kuri yra laikoma geriausia kreiserio svorio kova istorijoje ir viena iš paskutinių puikių 15 apvalios kovos. Liepos 12, 1986, Holyfieldas metė iššūkį WBA kruizinio svorio čempionui Dwightui Muhammadui Qawi pirmyn ir atgal, kurią Holyfieldas laimėjo padalijęs sprendimą užimti savo pirmąjį pasaulio titulą..
Nors Holyfieldas vs.. Qawi laikomas geriausia kova Atlantos bokso istorijoje, reikšmingiausias ir didžiausias įvykis mieste buvo Muhammado Ali sugrįžimo kova 1970. Ali buvo atimtas sunkiasvorio titulas ir ištremtas iš bokso po to, kai jis buvo prieštaringai nuteistas 1967. Kol jo byla vis dar buvo skundžiama JAV. Aukščiausiasis Teismas, Ali gavo licenciją kovoti Gruzijoje už savo pirmąjį mačą per daugiau nei trejus su puse metų. Spalio trečiajame etape Ali sustabdė Jerry Quarry 26, 1970 „City Auditorium“ renginyje, kuris pažymėtų jo pergalingą sugrįžimą. Ali teistumas buvo panaikintas kitais metais birželio mėn 1971, praėjus vos trims mėnesiams po “Šimtmečio kova” su Joe Frazier.
Nors Gruzijoje gyveno nemažai naujausių pasaulio čempionų, nė vienas nėra kovojęs Atlantoje kaip titulistas. Velionis dviejų divizionų pasaulio čempionas Vernonas Forrestas gimė netoliese esančioje Augustoje ir gyveno Atlantoje, tačiau jis niekada nekovojo kaip čempionas valstybės sostinėje. Panašiai, buvęs dviejų divizionų čempionas Paulas Williamsas, taip pat Augusto, kovojo tik kartą Atlantoje 2001 kol jis netapo čempionu.
Davis, kuris ketina parduoti savo trečią iš eilės metų vietą trijuose skirtinguose miestuose, tikisi, kad ilgametis boksas Atlantoje bus nuolatinis.
“Dėmesio centre bus Atlanta,” Sakė Davis. “Jie daugelį metų ten nekovojo didelės kovos. Taigi svajonė sugrąžinti ilgametį boksą, kaip ir Baltimorėje. Atlanta tiek metų mane priėmė išskėstomis rankomis. Visada žinojau, kad turiu gerbėjų būrį, ir visada norėjau čia kovoti. Dabar yra geriausias laikas mano karjeroje, kad tai įvyktų.
“Aš kovotojas, bet aš taip pat esu gerbėjas. Taigi aš to laukiu tiek pat, kiek ir visi kiti. Aš atiduosiu viską, Žinau, kad Gamboa atiduos viską. Tai bus puiki naktis gruodžio 28 d.”

LIONELL THOMPSON
“I’m not worried about his power. I’ve been in there with big punchers my whole career. I’m just ready to perform. I’m not worried about what he can do. I’m just concentrating on what I can do. Everyone can punch in the pros. One punch from anyone can hurt you. I’m fully focused on being excellent on December 28.
“We’re working hard. It’s a new weight class for me and that’s motivating me even more to be my best. This win is going to do wonders for my life and career. I believe I’ll be victorious in Atlanta. Ar nemirksi.
“All of my fights are important to me. Uzcategui is just another fighter. I don’t focus on what the perception of Uzcategui is. People say he’s a big puncher, but how do you know if he’s never hit you before? It’s someone’s job to pump their fighter up, but I’m only focused on what I can control.
“This is a huge opportunity for me and I’m definitely thankful to the Mayweather Promotions team for putting me in this position. When I saw that Uzcategui was looking for an opponent, I told (Mayweather Akcijos Vadovas) Leonard Ellerbe that I wanted to fight him and he made it happen.
“I know it’s rare for someone at my age to go down in weight. I feel fresh for my age though. I’m making weight the right way and the healthy way. I think with my training camp and the challenge that Uzcategui presents, it will bring out the best of me on December 28.”

JACK BADOU
“Mentally I’m better than I’ve ever been. I’m hungrier and I feel like I did the first time I fought for the title. I’m always hungry, but I’m really excited for this fight.
“Sometimes losses make you better. My first loss was an accident, and I became better because of it. The loss to Marcus Browne, it wasn’t the fairest loss, but it’s made me even hungrier. I’m going to go out there and win the fight no matter what.
“People have written Pascal off a couple of times and he always came back. He’s a throwback fighter who definitely knows how to fight. He brings it every time. He’s got more mileage than me, but I can’t overlook a guy like him.
“I’m ready to do whatever it takes to win the fight. aš jaučiu 100% fiziškai. The cut was cleared in March, and we’re way past that. I’ve been ready physically and this camp has proved that to me and my whole team.
“Pascal and I sparred before but it was a long time ago and sparring is way different than a real fight. I’ve fought bigger punchers, but you have to respect the power of anyone in the ring. Kas gali atsitikti. You can get caught by someone who’s not a puncher.
“I know that I have a lot left to give this sport. I feel like I’m young for my age. The break between fights and bouncing back from a loss have made me more motivated than ever. I’m ready to go in and give the best performance of my career.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Akcijos
“Badou has a glow about him, just like the old Badou. He looks super-fast in the ring and everything is what we would want to see.
“Badou Jack has shown time and time again that he wants to fight the best and he’s not going to back down no matter what the challenge is. We’ve never had to think twice about it and one setback wasn’t going to stop him from having that mentality.
“Badou is a fighter who always uses his platform to make the world better for those less fortunate. He’s done wonderful things and is really so much more than a champion boxer. It’s an honor to work with him and always a pleasure to watch him perform.”

Here’s what the fighters and executives had to say:
GERVONTA DAVIS: Thoughts about Gamboa and moving up in weight: “We know Gamboa is a veteran and that he’s had a lot of wars, so we know we have a tough fight. He’s definitely dangerous. He can hit. Jis gali kovoti.
“His last fight he made 134, so we know he can get bigger than me at that weight. I’m going into this knowing he’s a bigger fighter than me. I’m just going to bring my power and capitalize on that weight class and becoming world champion.
“I believe I’m one of the top fighters in the world, but I don’t compare myself to other fighters. I just go out and get the job done.
“Atlanta is my second home. I’m confident I’ll sell it out.”
On his ability and uniqueness as a fighter: “I come from a different cloth than these other guys. I’ve been through everything in my life. A lot of people haven’t experienced what I have. If I ever get beat it would have to be by someone who’s been through what I have been through. It can’t be anyone who’s just been training all their life.
“Every time I step in the ring I’m willing to leave it all in there. A lot of people haven’t seen my full skills because I haven’t fought an opponent that has brought them out.”
On his potential in the sport: “The boxing world hasn’t seen my true potential as a fighter, they’ve just seen my power. I’m the type of boxer where if you don’t belong in there with me, you won’t be in there too long. Some fighters like to take their time. I’m the type, if I know you’re not on my level, I’m going to show it. The world will see. I’ll fight anybody.”
JACK BADOU: On his upcoming matchup against Pascal: “Aš susijaudinęs šioje kovoje. I actually called Pascal the day before his last fight and let him know I was rooting for him. But this is business at the end of the day. I’m coming to take back my title.”
On how he feels at this age: “I feel like a young 36 metai. I live a clean life. I’m always in the gym training and I try not to take any punishment. I have a couple of years left and I’m more motivated now than ever. I needed that little break. I hadn’t had a break since I was an amateur twenty years ago. I took time to relax with the family and eat good food. Now I’m hungry.”
On his last performance against Marcus Browne: “Everyone who saw me in my last fight could see I was flat. My fighting instinct kicked in at that point. He was fighting a dead man.”
On the Davis vs. Gamboa matchup: “Tai puiki kova. Gamboa is a little older, but he looked good in his last fight. I’m a big, big fan of Tank – the way he fights, his speed, jo atletikos, viskas. He has star power. He was on my undercard, now I’m on his. He’s going to bring great things to the sport and as long as he stays focused, he’s going to be a superstar. He’s already a superstar.”
LEONARD Ellerbe: On Davis’ position and progression in the sport: “We’re going to show everyone how he’s going to become the biggest star in the sport. Į 2020 we’re going to blow this out of the water. We’ve been able to think outside the box. That’s how you grow the sport. We’ve made a concerted effort to cross him over to the mainstream; working with the Baltimore Ravens, his parade, now Atlanta.
“Our plan is to make the biggest and best fights out there. We’re going to call the shots and it’s going to be on our terms, and we’ll let everyone know when that happens. Everyone wants to fight Tank. There’s one common thing when you talk about 126, 130, 135, ir dabar 140. There’s one name that’s common among the fighters and that’s Tank. This is going to be a great journey and you better get on it now.
“If he can get past Gamboa on December 28, then in 2020 he’s going into that pay-per-view world. When you have that kind of star power and you’re thinking outside of the box, not just boxing fans, we’re going to make the biggest fights out there in the world.”
On Badou Jack: “Badou’s a promoter’s dream. He’s a guy who gives you no problems. He’s out there doing wonderful things for himself and his family. He’s doing so much to help so many others. He’s using his platform in the right way. It’s an honor to work with a fighter like him.
“I always knew he was a great talent and sometimes you can find the diamonds in the rough. Everyone’s always looking at the guys coming out of the Olympics. We saw him in the gym and he really messed a guy up. We had an eye on him and we worked out a deal with Lou [DiBella] and the rest is history.
“We had one setback, but everything happens for a reason, and he’s just taken off since. He’s a great fighter and I like the fact that he’s always willing to fight the best. Never had to second guess that he’s willing to fight everybody.”
STEPHEN Espinoza: “There are advantages and disadvantages to promoting a show on this date. There has been a lot of success promoting music shows on that weekend. It’s not apples to apples, but it’s one of the factors that went in and there’s a way to turn this into something special and unique because of Gervonta’s fan base.
“It’s great to have skilled boxers but we need, for the health of the sport, guys like Gervonta who are putting butts in the seats. That’s the key in bringing him to Atlanta. Boxing is a part of a culture that crosses over into music and sports. Yra ne sportininkas, kuris neturi žiūrėti mokėti už nuomone bokso rungtynės. Skverbiasi į, kad su asmenybės kaip tankas yra tik ketina išplėsti sporto.
“Yra autentiškumo ir atvirumo apie Gervonta. Yra daug žmonių, kurie jau turėjo nesėkmių, kurie neturi apie tai kalbėti daug, kaip tankas. Tai užtrunka riziką kalbėti apie tai ir tai, kodėl daug žmonių gali būti susiję. Tai tankas. Ką matote, yra tai, ką jūs gaunate. Tai labai reali. Tai labai autentiškas ir aš manau, kad tai, kodėl žmonės jungiasi su juo asmenį, o ne jam kovotojas.”

LAS VEGAS – November 1, 2019 -Undefeated super featherweight prospect Xavier Martinez thrilled a sold-out crowd and boxing royalty atSam Miestas gyvaiwith one of the quickest knockouts inShoBox: Naujos kartoshistory in the main event Friday night in Las Vegas.
It took just 21 seconds for Sacramento’s Martinez (15-0, 11 Kos) to steal the show, connecting on a solid jab with his left hand before a glancing right hand finished the job and sent Filipino Jessie Cris Rosales (22-4-1, 10 Kos) down and out in a knockout of the year candidate. Rosales’ head hit hard on the canvas and his body was left sprawled on the floor. (Martinez KO video: https://twitter.com/ ShowtimeBoxing/status/1190493848016957441)
Martinez has now scored knockouts in seven consecutive fights, including a third-round stoppage of John Vicente Moralde in hisShoBoxdebut in April.
“I wanted to steal the show,” said Martinez. "[rolando Romero] did his thing and I knew I had to capitalize on that. I did it in half the time (45 sekundžių). Everyone did great tonight. Hitchins and Kevin [Newman] both did their thing and I had to follow.
“I’m going to get back in the gym and continue grinding. I want to be the best. I have the best team in boxing right now. As long as they keep lining them up, I’m going to keep knocking them down.”
22-year-old Brooklyn, N.Y.. native and 2016 Olympian Richardson Hitchins (10-0, 5 Kos) made his television andShoBoxdebut in the co-featured bout, winning a unanimous decision over Kevin Johnson (7-2, 4 Kos). Teisėjai įmušė bijau 96-94 ir 97-93 dvigubai.
Hitchins, who represented his parents’ home country of Haiti in the 2016 Rio Games, used his skill, speed and defense to edge the 27-year-old Johnson. Hitchins was marginally better in every category round after round, allowing him to build small but decisive leads en route to the unanimous decision. Johnson was slightly more active (52.6 į 49.8 štampus per turas) but Hitchins was more accurate and the more robust body puncher. Hitchins landed on 30 procentų savo elektros štampus, while Johnson landed just 19 procentų jo, and Hitchins connected on 46 body shots compared to 30 for Johnson.
“Johnson was a solid fighter,” said Hitchins. “I haven’t been in the ring since April, but I think I did great. It was the fight that I needed. I wanted the win and I got the unanimous decision. I don’t like to rate my performance without going back and re-watching the fight. I could have closed the gaps a little better. I should have capitalized on certain moments a little better.
“I’m going to run the tape back and work with my coach so we can tighten up and come out the best I can possibly be. I’m excited to see what’s next and what my team has planned for me. They’ve guided me in a great direction and I just got to do what I got to do and that’s getting these guys out one at a time until I get that title shot.”
Johnsonas, who performed admirably, was gracious in defeat despite disagreeing with the judges’ scorecards.
“Jis turėjo gerą žandikaulį,” Johnson said. “It was easy to download him. I put the pressure on him and kept listening to my corner, and moved to the right and kept landing. Jis yra griežtas kovotojas. Aš duosiu jam, kad, he definitely came to fight. We both had moments throughout the fight. He did a good job of holding as the ref called, he knew how to hold when he was getting hurt. I think I was the better fighter. Jis niekada skauda man. I give him props as a fighter.
“I really want the rematch, but I doubt that will happen. I know I won. I was the better fighter at the end of the day.”
In a much-anticipated rematch between two fighters with history and bad blood, Kevin Newmanas II (11-1-1, 6 Kos) avenged the only loss of his career, dominating Marcos Hernandez (14-3-1, 3 Kos) with a near shutout unanimous decision. The judges scored the fight 80-72 ir 79-73 dvigubai.
Completing the full eight-round distance for the first time in his career, Newman, who is trained by former world champion Bones Adams, dominated the second half of the fight. Jis nusileido 82 Iš viso štampus į 46 against in rounds five through eight and was able to establish a lethal body attack that wore down Sacramento’s Hernandez, jungiantis su 79 body shots compared to just 10 for Hernandez. Newman also led 152-97 in overall punches landed and 114-57 in power shots, while nearly matching Hernandez in punches thrown (399 į 435).
“The revenge felt so great,” said Las Vegas’ Newman, who dropped a unanimous decision to Hernandez on the undercard of Mayweather vs. McGregor in August 2017. “Overall, I dominated. I went to the body every chance I saw an opportunity. A lot of people have never seen me box like that so it’s great to show that side of me. I was a lot more offensive and I kept the attacks to the body.
“I’d rate my performance a B-, I think I could have been busier. I’m going to continue to developing and staying busy in the ring. I don’t think he expected me to come in like I did. We gave the fans a great performance that was TV worthy and I look forward to doing it again.”
In the telecast opener, undefeated knockout artist Rolando Romero (10-0, 9 Kos) extended his KO streak to five in a row and improved his knockout rate to 90 percent by dismantling previously once-beaten challenger Juan Carlos Cordones (14-2, 9 Kos) with a first-round knockout. (Romero KO: https://twitter.com/ ShowtimeBoxing/status/1190461550190120960)
The 24-year-old Las Vegan floored Dominican Republic’s Cordones with a combination and finished the job shortly after with a flush right to the jaw. Cordones was unable to get up off the mat, and the fight was stopped just 2:14 after it started. Looking for the knockout from the opening bell, the aggressive Romero threw twice as many punches (35-17), led nine to three in overall punches landed and connected on eight of his 18 Baterijos štampus.
“There’s not much to say. I promised a knockout and I saw the opportunity so I went for it,” said the exuberant Romero, who has previously stated he is the hardest puncher in the world under 147 svarų. “I made him pay for coming in overweight yesterday. Žvelgiant į ateitį, I just plan on dominating whoever they put in front of me.
“I’m growing as a fighter and all I want to do is continue to put on a great performance for my fans and get to that next step in my career. I want anyone whoever wants next!"

“I’m just excited to be back,” said two-division champion Jack, who will face WBA light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal in the co-featured bout on December 28. “That last loss to Marcus Browne was an accident. I’m more motivated than last time. I’m hungry to get in there and get my titles back.”

Liūtas, who started boxing when he was eight, amassed a notable amateur resume, winning the state Golden Gloves and Jr. Golden Gloves Championships before turning pro at 18. Leo debuted under the Mayweather Promotions banner in November of 2017 with a fourth-round knockout of Dominican Republic’s Yasmaly Basilio Peguero-Nieves.
“This fight came to me at the perfect time,” said Leo, who has fought four of his last six bouts atSam Miestas gyvai. “I’m in great condition coming off my recent fight last month. I think Tabanao is good fighter and a good counter-puncher. He fought good competition and he went the distance with a former world champion, so I know I have a tough fight ahead. He is a dangerous fighter but I have a solid plan. I have a unique style and I think I bring a lot to the table with my speed, angles and body shots. Fans should expect an exciting fight on April 5.”

“It feels great to get back in the ring,” said Martinez. “I’m happy Mayweather Promotions found another great matchup for me, and on national television. Now it’s time for me to do my part as a fighter by training hard and getting the win. I came in to training camp with a fresh mindset and ready to go to war. I’m ready for whatever Moralde brings to the table. I don’t know much about him other than he has the guts to fight me. I heard two opponents said, ’No,’ to this fight because they didn’t want to face me.”

“It feels great to have another opportunity to put my skills on display for the world to see on national TV,” said Moralde. “I’m up against a tough fighter; we both have a tough fight ahead. I have to make a statement. This is the fight that will get me where I want to go. I want to fight the toughest and I’m ready to face anyone they put in front of me.”
Born and raised in Las Vegas, Kortesas, 22, fell in love with the sweet science at an early age as he watched his brother Luis at the gym. He started training at Elite Boxing Gym when he was six, alongside Juan Heraldez and Andrew Tabiti, who would later become his Mayweather Promotions stablemates. He had a reported record of 130-20 as an amateur and turned pro in 2016. He caught the attention of Floyd Mayweather while sparring with lightweight champion Gervonta Davis. Cortes joined Mayweather Promotions soon after. He has won four of his last six fights by knockout including his last outing against Eder Amaro Fajardo on January 17. Su pergale, Cortes will be one step closer to becoming a legitimate contender.
“I’ve only taken off one week from the gym since my last fight in January,” said Cortes. "Jaučiuosi puikiai. Aš 100 percent prepared for whatever my opponent brings my way. I’ve been working on my power and my strength with my conditioning coach and overall development as a fighter. I’m ready for my next challenge.”
Baltimore’s Dyer, 27, picked up boxing at 19 and after a brief amateur career turned pro in March of 2017.

I’m training to go a full eight rounds, but if I find an opportunity before then, Aš ruošiuosi jį. I’ve been waiting for a chance to show the world how good of a fighter I am, ir tai, kad. This is my time to show the world who I am.”
