BROOKLYN (Marec 7, 2020) – Robert Helenius(30-3, 19 KO)scored an upset victory over previously unbeatenAdam Kownacki (20-1, 15 KO) by stopping him in the fourth round of a WBA Heavyweight Title Eliminator headlining FOX PBC Fight Night and on FOX Deportes Saturday night from Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™.
“I want to thank everyone who gave me this opportunity,” said Helenius. “Kownacki is a tough fighter. I worked hard in training camp and it paid off.”
Brooklyn’s Kownacki was fighting for the 10thtime at Barclays Center in front of his hometown crowd, but was unable to keep the taller Helenius off of him after being hurt early in the fourth. A clean Helenius right hook hurt Kownacki, before a left hook put Kownacki down.
“I knew that I hit him hard and I knew I just had to continue,” said Helenius. “I knew he was still hurt after that punch.
“Kownacki just kept coming and coming. He’s a good fighter I have to give it to him. My strength is to punch back when people come at me. It was a good fight and a tremendous opportunity for me to be here.”
While Kownacki outpaced Helenius landing 84 údery do 49 according to CompuBox, it was Helenius’ 12 power punches landed in round four that made the difference. Helenius kept up the relentless attack, consistently hurting Kownacki and pushing him around the ring until referee David Fields waived off the fight 1:08 do kola.
“Nebol to môj noc,” povedal Kownacki. “It’s boxing. It’s a tough sport and things just didn’t go my way tonight. It was a learning experience and I’m going to go back to the drawing board and get back to work.
“He hit me with a good shot. I knew what was going on, but I’m just upset with myself. It is what it is.”
V čo-hlavné udalosti, heavyweight pocit Efe Ajagba(13-0, 11 KO) delivered a ninth-round stoppage ofRazvan Cojanu (17-7, 9 KO), knocking him down twice en route to the victory.
Ajagba showed the prolific power that has made him a highly-regarded heavyweight nearing a jump from prospect to contender. Cojanu came to fight and had success at various points in the action, landing hooks on Ajagba and slowing down his attack in the early rounds.
In round eight Ajagba’s offensive arsenal began to break through, as Cojanu’s left eye started to swell before eventually closing. Late in round eight, Ajagba connected on a powerful straight right hand that forced Cojanu to take a knee. Watch the knockdowntu.
“Ronnie told me to attack the body behind the jab,” said Ajagba. “It was very effective and it started to slow him down. When he got close to me, I knew to throw more and punish him.
“Cojanu has a lot of experience. When I threw my jab, he used his right hand to block my vision, so I couldn’t throw as many combinations as I wanted. It was a good challenge.”
While Cojanu was able to make it through the round, Ajagba continued to press forward in round nine, punishing Cojanu with power shots. On the night, Ajagba out landed Cojanu in power shots by a 176 na 81 margin. A flurry by Ajagba late in the round forced Cojanu down again, and prompted referee Ron Lipton to halt the bout 2:46 do kola. Watch the stoppagetu. Additional highlights can be viewedtu.
“It’s up to my team who we fight next, but I want hard fights,” said Ajagba. “My team has a plan and we’ll keep following it.”
V televíznom otvárača, rising heavyweightFrank Sanchez(15-0, 11 KO) scored a 10-round unanimous decision overJoey Dawejko (20-8-4, 11 KO) to remain unbeaten.
“I was well prepared and I thought I fought very well tonight,” Said Sanchez. “I dominated the fight. I showed good footwork and movement and did exactly what we worked on. I expected a lot of pressure, but with my boxing ability, there was no way he was going to catch me.”
The Cuban fighter dominated with his movement, rarely being flustered by Dawejko’s attack as he bounded around the ring and avoided the incoming Philadelphia native. Sanchez was also superior in punch output and accuracy, out throwing Dawejko 352 na 242 and out landing him by a 116 na 46 margin.
“I knew he was going to fight on the outside and he stayed on the outside,” Said Dawejko. “Not much to say, he just did what he had to do. He was scared that’s why he was running around. He kept jumping back and staying away, so I guess he made it easy on the judges.”
Sanchez was able to punch open a cut on Dawejko’s right eye in round five, which he continued to batter throughout the remainder of the fight with jabs and right hands. Po 10 kolesá, all three judges saw the bout in favor of Sanchez, sa skóre 100-90 a dvakrát 98-92.
“I didn’t want to fight Dawejko’s fight, and he realized that and it frustrated him,” Said Sanchez. “He might have thought he’s faced guys like me, but there’s no other heavyweight like me.”

ADAM Kownacka
“I love fighting here in Brooklyn at Barclays Center. It’s almost half my career that I’ve fought in that ring, so it’s definitely my second home.
“Fighting for a shot at the title is truly motivating. I know this is a big fight for Robert as well and he’s trained hard, but my title opportunity is right around the corner. I could have waited, but I decided to take on this big test. I’m going to show off why I’m ready to fight for the title soon.
“It’s truly amazing to see the Polish fans on fight night. I was an Andrew Golota fan and Tomasz Adamek after that. Now I’m trying to be the next motivation for young Polish kids. I want to show them that they can make it. I kept making the right decisions and now I’m right there so close to a title shot. Robert is in my way and I have to beat him to get where I want.
“I love hearing the fans yelling on fight night and that definitely gives me extra energy and motivation to fight in the later rounds.
“I’m looking for a spectacular knockout. I want to show why I’m one of the best heavyweights in the world. I have to take care of business.
“It’s truly amazing to have fans all over the world come to share this night with me. It’s an honor to have this following. It’s breathtaking really. I’d tell them to continue on this journey with toward becoming heavyweight world champion.
“This is a very friendly press conference, there’s a lot of respect between these fighters. I can tell that everyone is ready to put on a great show for the fans on Saturday.”
ROBERT HELENIUS
“I have an opportunity to make a great fight Saturday and that’s what I trained for. I’m ready and I had a great training camp. I can’t wait to get into the ring.
“This fight we came two weeks earlier to the U.S. My body has gotten used to the difference. Viac, the sparring in Alabama at Deontay Wilder’s gym really helped get me ready.
“We’re doing everything right and training has been great. We’ve sparred so many rounds, I feel very sharp and ready to get into the ring against Kownacki.
“I have a lot of fans in Europe and that support is why I can even do this and compete on this level. Everything has been so perfect coming into training camp. It makes me feel more confident than I have in many years.
“I trained for years with a broken hand and have had injuries in the past. But the last two years I’ve been healthy and with the same trainer and I feel physically as good as I ever have.”
EFE AJAGBA
“I’m excited to be on this great show full of heavyweights. I’m looking forward to Saturday night. I thank my opponent for taking this challenge. He’s a good fighter and we’re looking forward to give you a great fight.
“In the Iago Kiladze fight I had him hurt and tried to finish him, but I went too wild and left my guard down. That’s why he landed a shot and knocked me down. I felt okay when I got up and I came back and finished him off.
“It’s up to Cojanu how the fight goes. We’ll find out if he can take my punch or not on Saturday. We’ll see in the ring if he’s got a hard chin.
“Cojanu has a lot of good experience against good fighters. He’s going to try to box me, but if he can’t take my power, then I’ll be able to win the fight by knockout. If he can take it, I will be ready to win a decision.”
RAZVAN COJANU
“Efe is a fighter I respect a lot. He’s a great prospect. But I’m ready for him. I feel very confident in myself. I had a great six-week training camp. Everyone who supported me, I’m going to make them proud on Saturday.
“For this fight I got the chance to work with Henry Tillman and it’s made a huge difference in my game. I know the coach can’t fight for me, but I believe in his plan and his judgement. He knows how I can beat Efe Ajagba and Saturday night you’re going to see me shock the world.
“People think Efe has already won the fight, ale cítim sa dobre. There’s no pressure on my shoulders. I have nothing to lose. I believe in karma and I believe it’s my time for my moment to come this Saturday.
“I’m very happy to be fighting on FOX for the first time. Best of luck to all of the fighters to come through healthy and give the fans a great performance all night.”
FRANK SANCHEZ
“I’m very excited for this great opportunity to fight on this big PBC card. Saturday is going to be a great fight and you can expect a great performance from me.
“I wish Joey luck on Saturday, but not too much luck. I’m going to demonstrate that I’m one of the best heavyweights in the world.
“He’s not knocking out anybody. With my defense and movement, he’s not going to be able to hurt me. I have everything I need to dominate this fight.
“No one he’s ever fought is like me. He’s going to be shocked when I deliver a tremendous knockout on Saturday night. I’ll see you in the ring on Saturday.”
JOEY DAWEJKO
“I want to thank everyone who helped me get this opportunity. I have an opportunity to be great again. I know a little about Frank Sanchez. I know they’re moving him fast, but I think they took the wrong fight. They should have waited a couple more fights for me and I’m going to prove it.
“I am in great shape and I had a great camp with my trainer Justin Fortune. I can’t wait to get in there and give everyone a great fight.
“Experience will play a big part in this fight. I had a great amateur career and I’ve fought all around the world. I’ve sparred with every champion right now and it’s all going to help.
“Frank is a good fighter, but he’s not ready for me. He’s going to try to box me, but I’m going to be too much. I’m predicting a knockout. He’s going to be in for a big shock. He doesn’t have anything I haven’t already seen before.”
KEITH SHELDON, EVP of Programming & Development for BSE Global
“Ako všetci vieme,, BROOKLYN BOXING is at its best when he we have heavyweights in the ring and this card has no shortage of them.
“Adam, you built your career at Barclays Center and we’re thrilled to see you headline for the second time. With nine wins there, it’s safe to say Barclays Center is your second home. We’re excited for you to put on a show for your hometown fans.
“Barclays Center continues to show to the world our steadfast commitment to the sport. This is our second PBC fight this year and the third in the last four months. This further demonstrates our commitment to our boxing program and the sport in general.
“Our partnership with PBC consistently brings great fights to our market and Saturday night is no exception. I’d also like to thank FOX. At Barclays Center we pride ourselves on being in the big event business, and there’s nothing bigger than a primetime heavyweight fight on FOX.”

Majstrovstvá v ťažkej váhe boli vždy najpozoruhodnejšou cenou v tomto športe. Za posledných pár rokov, záujem o prvých panovníkov sa zmenšil. To sa zmenilo vďaka vzrušujúcej sile Deontaya Wildera a charizmatickému prejavu Tysona Furyho.
Ich prvé stretnutie sa skončilo kontroverznou remízou, zistia, že opäť zdieľajú prsteň. Obaja muži s neporazenými rekordmi a iba jednou remízou (proti sebe) na ich hlavnej knihe.

STYLE
Wilder:
Divoké hojdanie, často nedbalý bojovník s dlhými rukami a silou meniacou boj v oboch pästiach, Wilder rád nastavuje dostrel svojou olovenou rukou a sleduje ho rôznymi silovými údermi. Svoju silu si nesie neskoro do svojich bojov a je schopný kedykoľvek vyradiť knokaut.
Zúrivosť:
Sebavedomý, sebaistý, a niekedy domýšľavý bojovník, Fury má pre tak veľkého bojovníka svižné pohyby a rýchlosť. Kombinuje dobrú prácu nôh s pohybom hornej časti tela a schopnosťou boxovať buď ortodoxne alebo ľavou labkou, udržiavanie súperov v nerovnováhe a zakladanie vlastného útočného útoku.
ICH PRVÝ VÝBOR
Wilder-Fury I:Fury otvoril zápas efektívnym pohybom, udržiavanie Wildera v nerovnováhe a neschopnosť pristáť nič významné. Wilder bol schopný pristáť niekoľko tvrdých úderov v 4th kolo, stekajúca krv z Furyho nosa. Fury strávil čas v prostredných kolách ako ľavá labka a našiel úspech. Wilder zaznamenal príklep v 9th kolo, ale následný útok ho unavil, umožnil Furymu získať späť hybnosť prostredníctvom 11th okrúhly. Pamätná 12th guľová píla Wilder prerazila a dopadla na kombináciu pravého a ľavého háku. Fury tvrdo spadol na plátno, plocho na chrbte. Úžasne vstal pri počte 9 a záverečné kolo skončilo outlanderom Wildera. Alejandro Rochin skóroval 115-111 Wilder, Robert Tapper skóroval 114-112 Zúrivosť, a Phil Edwards skóroval 113-113.
SILNÉ STRÁNKY
Wilder:
* Sila - detonácia na konci Wilderových pästí, predovšetkým je pravá ruka, je jadrových rozmerov. Zatiaľ čo jeho ľavá ruka nesie v sebe výrazný pop, je to Wilderova pravá ruka, ktorá sa považuje za možno najničivejší úder v boxe súčasnosti. Súboje môže ukončiť tak, že pravú ruku dopadne priamo do stredu, oblúkom cez vrchol, alebo rozdelenie krytu ako hák.
* Kondicionovanie - na začiatku svojej kariéry, keď v priebehu niekoľkých kôl ukončil všetky svoje boje, boli otázniky, či Wilder v ďalších kolách vybledne. Dokázal, že v posledných kolách dokáže rovnako tvrdo bojovať a je schopný knokautu až do záverečného zvonenia.
* Atletizmus - Wilder kombinuje vzácnu zmes veľkosti, rýchlosť, energie, a atletické schopnosti, pri ktorých je ľahké si predstaviť, že je dominantný v akomkoľvek type atletického prostredia.
Zúrivosť:
* Pohyb - Pre muža s veľkosťou a stavbou tela, ktorá pripomína strieborného chrbta, Fury sa pohybuje s ladnosťou a svižnosťou baletky. Je ľahký na nohy a má pohyblivý pohyb v hornej časti tela, ktorý je pre niekoho tak veľkého nezvyčajný.
* Dôvera - Fury si je nanajvýš istý v seba a verí vo svoje schopnosti. V ringu prejavuje malý alebo žiadny strach. Jeho sebavedomá charizmatická povaha mu dáva psychologickú výhodu.
* Odolný - či už to bolo zliezanie z plátna proti Wilderovi, prekonanie hrozného zásahu proti Wallinovi, alebo bojovať proti depresii a zneužívaniu návykových látok, Fury preukázal tvrdosť a odolnosť, ktoré treba obdivovať.
NEDOSTATKY
Wilder:
* Sloppy - Wilder prejavuje toľko viery v jeho silu, že je často divoký a nedbalý svojimi údermi a chodidlami. V ringu vyzerá často veľmi amatérsky.
* Problémy s boxermi - Bojovníci, ktorí používajú dobrý pohyb a boxerské schopnosti, potrápia Wildera. Bojuje s nastavením svojich nôh a často je o krok pozadu. V oboch súbojoch sledoval Luisa Ortiza a bol prekonaný po väčšinu svojho prvého zápasu s Furym.
* Brada - Niekoľkokrát bol Wilder vážne skontrolovaný bradou, ukázal nejaké nedostatky na svojej trvanlivosti. Ortiz ho ťažko zranil a bol blízko vyraďovacej straty.
Zúrivosť:
* Rozptýlenie - Fury miluje svoju novú slávu a hovorí o WWE a MMA. Rozišiel sa so svojím trénerom Benom Davidsonom a dorovnáva vlastné strely. Fury má tiež kúzla v ringu, kde stráca sústredenie a počas výpadku koncentrácie sa viackrát ocitol na plátne..
* Osobný život - sú dobre zdokumentované minulé osobné démony Fury s depresiou a zneužívaním návykových látok, spolu s priberaním na váhe 400 lbs. Zatiaľ čo jeho triumfy nad týmito démonmi sú obdivuhodné, trvalé fyzické účinky nemožno poprieť.
* Koža - Je to len päť mesiacov, čo Fury utrpel strašnú ranu cez pravé oko proti Otto Wallinovi, vyžadujúce 47 stehy. Zatiaľ čo lekári považovali rez za dostatočne uzdravený, jeho jemná pokožka sa mohla znovu otvoriť v najnevhodnejšom čase.
PREDCHÁDZAJÚCE BOUT
Wilder: (11/23/19) - Wilder si opäť pripísal protiútok proti Luisovi Oritzovi. Potom, čo bol odoslaný do väčšiny prvých šiestich kôl, Wilder nasadil proti unavujúcemu Ortizovi a dopadol na rozdrvenú pravú ruku, ktorá vyústila do jedného úderu.
Zúrivosť:
(9/14/19) - Fury prežil krvavé súboje s neporazeným, ale neznámym Ottom Wallinom. Fury utrpel podrezanie na pravom oku v 3rd okrúhle a krv jasne ovplyvňovala jeho videnie. Napriek postihnutiu, Fury akciu stále kontroloval a na ceste k rozhodujúcemu víťazstvu niekoľkokrát zranil Wallina.
3 Najlepších výkonov
Wilder:
* Arthur Pin (1/16/16) - Po skorom zaostávaní, Wilder prevzal vedenie v 4th kolo a začal sa usadzovať a kontrolovať akciu. Jedna pravá ruka v 9th kolo poslal Szpilku dole a v bezvedomí, the 2016 Knockout roka.
* Zlatý pohár (1/17/15) - Wilder odpovedal na otázky o svojej výdrži naplno 12 prvýkrát v kariére a získal v tomto procese titul WBC. Wilder využil svoj dlhý úder a udržal Stiverna na uzde so svojou podceňovanou sadou schopností.
* Luis Ortiz (3/3/18) - Wilder prežil niektoré strašidelné chvíle proti kubánskemu veteránovi, ktorému sa často vyhýbali, a zvíťazil o 10th okrúhly knokaut. Wildera trápili Ortizove boxerské schopnosti skôr, ako ho zrazil do lopty 5th okrúhly. Zhromaždenie Ortiz v 7th sa Wilder vážne zranil, ale Wilder sa o pár kôl dokázal preskupiť a vyradiť vyradenie.
Zúrivosť:
* Wladimir Klitschko (11/25/15) - Fury odišiel do Kličkovho dvora a jednomyseľným rozhodnutím vybojoval zjednotené a priame majstrovstvá v ťažkej váhe. Zatiaľ čo o zápas išlo o opatrnú záležitosť, Fury dokázal prekonať Kličko vynikajúcou prácou nôh, pohyb, a vyšší výkon úderu.
* Derek Chisora (11/29/14) - Fury dominoval v odvete so svojím britským rivalom, box z diaľky, prepínanie medzi pravoslávnymi a južnými labkami, a potrestal svojho protivníka, až kým roh neprerušil boj 10 jednostranné kolá.
* Deontay Wilder (12/1/18) - S výnimkou dvoch knockdownov a niekoľkých kurióznych hodnotení, Väčšinu zápasu mal Fury pod kontrolou. Vyhol sa Wilderovým úderom a dopadol na efektívne počítadlá, To, že Wilder vyzeral v tomto procese zmätený a nevyvážený.
KEYS k víťazstvu
Wilder:
* Využite jeho úder a vylúčte Furyho nepríjemný štýl
* Udržujte jeho silové údery krátke a kompaktné
* Nenechajte sa hypnotizovať Furyho pohybom hornej časti tela
Zúrivosť:
* Zmeňte tempo a nechajte Wildera hádať
* Bočným pohybom zabráňte Wilderovi v nastavení nôh
* Nenechajte sa nafúknuť proti lanám
OTÁZKY
Wilder:
* Dokáže Wilder zvládnuť Furyho neortodoxný pohyb?
* Will Wilder zamestná lepší herný plán?
* Bude Wilder frustrovaný?
Zúrivosť:
* Bude sa Fury príliš snažiť o knokaut??
* Je Fury úplne zameraný na box??
* Je jeho porezané oko náchylné na reinjury?
PENECALE PREDPOVEĎ
Obaja bojovníci sú výnimoční herci a ich príslušné vchody do ringu budú dav ohurovať. Elektrina bude pri horúčke pri úvodnom zvonení. S ich familiárnosťou, proces precítenia bude menší ako pri ich prvom stretnutí. Fury bude v strehu pri postupe vpred a Wilder sa pokúsi načasovať jeho postup a dopadnúť protiútoky. Na konci 1st kolo, Fury sa bude posmievať Wilderovi a dôjde k výmene slov.
Furyho neustály pohyb a jednotlivé údery budú Wildera trápiť, pretože jeho protiútoky nájdu väčšinou prázdny vzduch. Nasledujúce kolá budú vzrušujúcou hrou na mačku a myš s menším Wilderom v úlohe mačky, márnosť sa snaží dostať do kúta väčší Wilder.
Wilder nájde úspech so svojím úderom v 6th a 7th náboje a zalomená pravá ruka zachytí Furyho na vrchu hlavy, vyvrátil ho z rovnováhy na plátno. Zúrivosť stúpne, žmurknite v jeho rohu, a vrátiť sa späť do činnosti. Vzrušenie spôsobí, že sa Wilder divoko hojdá a sám padá na plátno, keď mu chýba prehnaná pravá ruka.
S Wilderom, ktorý bol zo svojho úderu zdanlivo unavený z predchádzajúceho kola, Fury sa otočí na juh a pristane niekoľko tvrdých pravých rúk, potom sa odrazte mimo dosah všetkých úderov pultom.
Furyho pohyb a vyššia pracovná rýchlosť prenesú akciu do majstrovských kôl, čo ho opäť viedlo k zjavnému náskoku smerujúcemu do finálového kola.
Rozhodnutie bude tentokrát jednomyseľné, keď obaja Dave Moretti a Glenn Feldman skórovali 115-112 a Steve Weisfeld o odtieň bližšie pri 114-113, všetko v prospech „The Gypsy King“ Tysona Furyho.

Nashville, Tenn. (Február 15, 2020) – Fighting in front of a raucous hometown crowd for the first time in his professional career, undefeated IBF Super Middleweight World ChampionCaleb “Sweethands” Rastlina (20-0, 12 KO) kladený na show.
Plant dominated mandatory challengerVincent Feigenbutz (31-3, 28 KO) Nemecko, Scoring 10th-round TKO Saturday night in the FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
Rastlina, who grew up in neighboring Ashland City, successfully made the second defense of the world title he won in January 2019 with a thrilling 12-round unanimous decision over then-titlist Jose Uzcategui. “Sweethands” lived up to his moniker, breaking down Germany’s Feigenbutz before putting him away.
“I was super fueled by the crowd tonight,” Plant said. “I could have gone all night. The whole city came out. Nashville stand up!”
Plant gave them plenty to cheer about from the opening bell, landing his jab up and downstairs. The aggressive Feigenbutz, 24, struggled to land anything in return.
Plant began landing the combinations in the third, bringing the crowd to his feet with a series of well-placed volleys.
Those shots slowly took their toll, but Feigenbutz was game. He came alive in the sixth, pinning Plant against the ropes and unloading his own combinations. Plant covered up and shook his head as if unbothered.
Plant pounded Feigenbutz in the seventh and eighth, opening up a cut on his nose and swelling his right eye. The challenger absorbed more punishment in the ninth, causing the ringside doctor to take a hard look at him in between rounds.
The end came swiftly in the 10thas Plant, sensing his foe was weakening, pounded away until referee Malik Waleed mercifully stepped in. The official time of the stoppage was 2:23 of the 10th.
“I felt great out there,” Said Plant. “I was relaxed and sharp. I told you I was going to stop this before the 12th round. I want to dedicate this to my daughter, to my mother, my grandfather and the whole city of Nashville.”
The champion also stated his desire to unify versus unbeaten WBC counterpart and rival, David Benavidez.
“Everyone knows I want that unification fight with David Benavidez,” Plant stated. “You know who the best 168-pounder is. If you want that, you’ve got to come see me. I want that fight; I’ve been asking for it and I’m tired of waiting!”
V čo-hlavné udalosti, Abel Ramosscored a stunning last second TKO victory overBryant Perrellain a scheduled 10-round welterweight match. Heading into the 10thand final round Ramos was told by his cornermen that he needed a knockout to win. Ramos (26-3-2, 20 KO) delivered, badly hurting and dropping Perrella twice in the waning seconds of the frame, prompting referee Jack Reiss to wave the welterweight co-main event off with just one second remaining.
“I know the fight’s not over until it’s over,” said Ramos. “That’s the game. I’ve been sick for two weeks. But no excuses. I wanted to come here and perform.
“I watched the Chavez-Taylor fight like 10 million times and I never thought I’d be in something like that. It just goes to prove that fights are never over till it’s over. You have to fight every single second of every single round.”
Watch Ramos stun Perrella at the end of Round 10 TU.
Perrella (17-3, 14 KO) was up on all three cards at the time of the stoppage; 87-84 and two scores of 88-83.
“This is boxing. It’s like Meldrick Taylor and Chavez,” Said Perrella, agreeing with Ramos’ comments. “These things just happen. I’m not going to take anything away from my opponent. I was winning every round convincingly. Čo môžem povedať? There was second left in the 10th round. It’s like a needle in the haystack. It is what it is.”
Southpaw Perrella controlled much of the action, using side to side movement, angles and rapid-fire combinations to stifle Ramos’ offense. A left hook in the third briefly buckled Ramos. Another in the fifth stunned him.
“Perrella’s a tough fighter,” said Ramos. “He’s a strong, strong fighter. Nemám nič, ale rešpekt k nemu. I expected a tough fight and that’s what happened.”
Ramos never stopped coming forward, picking up the pace as Perrella slowed down. S 34 seconds remaining in the 10th, Ramos landed a perfect left uppercut flush on the chin. Perrella sank to the mat, getting up on unsteady legs. Ramos pounced once action resumed, unloading until a straight right drove Perrella to the floor again. Znovu, he made it to his feet but couldn’t walk straight without stumbling. Reiss immediately waved it off at 2:59.
“Everything was going well, and I was winning the fight, round by round,” Said Perrella. “I don’t know. This is boxing. That’s the thing about the sport. Je to to, čo to je. There’s nothing I can do about it. I’m not going to make up any excuses or take anything away from my opponent. It’s just an experience that you go through in life and you have to overcome it. Absolutely I’d like to do it again with him. We can get a rematch in for sure.”
“I want all the welterweights,” Ramos exclaimed. “I’d like to have another big TV fight and go out there and prove myself.”
The FOX PBC Fight Night opener featured a back-and-forth battle between lightweightsAustin Dulay a Diego Magdaleno. Magdaleno produced one of the finest performances of his career, dropping Dulay on his way to a 10-round unanimous decision victory in a minor upset.
The 33-year-old Magdaleno (32-3, 13 KO) was simply busier, particularly down the stretch in this battle of southpaws.
“I knew mentally I could break him down,” said Magdaleno. “If I attacked the body, I knew I could break him down. He’s a young prospect. He’s taller than me so my plan of attack was to get in close and go to the body.”
Dulay disagreed with the decision. “I boxed the hell out of him every round, making him miss, catching shots, countering. Jo, he hit me with a few good body shots. That doesn’t replace the heavy shots that I hit him with every single round for 10 rounds straight. That is madness. And it was a unanimous decision? That’s crazy. That’s unbelievable to me.
“Even Diego just told me that he had nothing to do with the decision. He knows. How can they do that to me in my hometown? That’s dirty man.”
Fighting in front of his fellow Nashville residents, Dulay (13-2, 10 KO) started fast, landing several clean lefts in the second. Magdaleno never stopped coming forward, working behind the jab and landing to Dulay’s body.

Some of those shots strayed low which elicited warnings from referee Jack Reiss. Avšak, the work paid off as Dulay’s output dropped over the course of the bout. The sixth featured some of the best exchanges of the bout. Magdaleno got the better of those, landing a right to the ribs followed by one upstairs.
Magdaleno continued to press the attack in the seventh, scoring the fight’s only knockdown with a hard left hook to the solar plexus.
Watch Magdaleno score a knockdown vs Dulay in Round 7 TU.
Once action resumed, Magdaleno pounded at his ribs until a left hook strayed low and dropped Magdaleno, causing Reiss to deduct a point.
“Every round he was hitting me low and, in the back, and on the hips,” said Dulay. “It was more times than he got called for. I won that fight 100%.”
Sensing the fight slipping away, Dulay picked up the pace over the last three rounds. It wasn’t enough to overcome Magdaleno’s work rate, which earned him a win by scores of 97-91, 96-92 a 96-92.
“Experience has everything going for me. In my previous fight, I lost my head,” said Magdaleno. “This time I took my time. My camp said slow it down. Happy for the victory tonight.”
On the non-televised undercard, former world bantamweight championRau’Shee “Nuke” Labyrint (17-3, 4 KO) ended a 13-month layoff with a wide 10-round unanimous decision overGilberto Mendoza (15-8-3, 7 KO).
The 33-year-old Warren used his fast hands to land an assortment of shots from his lefty stance. In the fourth, a clash of heads opened a cut over the left eye of Mexico’s Mendoza. Warren sought to close the show, but Mendoza was game, firing back though outgunned.
Two judges scored it 99-91 and the third judge had it 100-90.
“It felt good to get back in there after being off for a year,” Warren said. “I didn’t feel like a rookie. I felt like I had to get a little rust off me. But I think I got most of the rust off when I was in the gym training. Going 10 rounds it felt good.”
“I hope to get back in May,” said Warren. “I only need 90 dni. I’ve already had my long layoff since last January when I fought on Pacquiao and Adrien’s card. I’m ready to get it on. I’m ready to move on. The only thing he did that I didn’t expect him to do was stay up.”

Neprekonaný šampión WBC v ťažkej váhe Wilder & Neporazený šampión v priamej ťažkej váhe, Fury Square Off, v sobotu sa koná vysoko očakávaný odvetný zápas, Február 22 v historickej udalosti Mega PPV z MGM Grand Garden Arena v Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (Február 13, 2020) – Nadchádzajúca odveta medzi šampiónom WBC v ťažkej váhe Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder a priamy šampión Tyson “Cigánsky kráľ” Zúrivosť je najväčší boj o titul v ťažkej váhe v histórii.
Doslova.
V stoji 6’7″ a 6’9″ príslušne, Wilder a Fury vytvárajú najväčšiu kombinovanú výšku, aká bola kedy v zápase WBC videná, Ring Magazine a priame tituly veľkej váhy, stojaci kolektív 13 nohy a 4 palcov. Jediný zápas o titul v ťažkej váhe “vyšší,” tak povediac, sa uskutočnilo v 2007, keď 7-stopový Nikolay Valuev obhájil titul WBA v ťažkej váhe proti 6’6″ Jameel McCline. Ale nikdy predtým neboli tí najlepší veľkí muži v športe takí veľkí ako dnes.
Pre predstavu, aký veľký je Wilder a Fury, najlepšie je porovnať ich s krajinou obrov: NBA. Zvážte skutočnosť, že o 6’7″ a v susedstve 220 libier, Wilder je rovnako veľký ako malý útočník Los Angeles Clippers Kawhi Leonard. Zúrivosť, zatiaľ, je takmer totožný s LeBron Jamesom, čo sa týka výšky a hmotnosti.
V týchto dňoch, pohľad na vrchol 10 zo všetkých rebríčkov, ktoré vyberiete, ukazuje, že väčšina uchádzačov je postavená ako tesný víťaz šampióna Super Bowl Travis Kelce, ktorý stojí na 6’6″ a váži okolo 250 libier.
Ako každý, kto sledoval napínavú prvú súťaž medzi Wilderom a Furym, to určite vie, tí dvaja sú skutočne športovci, ďaleko od drevárskych monštier, od ktorých by ste mohli očakávať, že muži budú ich rozmermi. Wilder by mohol byť známy svojou titánskou silou jedného úderu, ale tiež ukázal nejaký skutočne dynamický pohyb v ringu. Choďte sledovať pásku jeho vyradenia Bermana Stiverna a sledujte, ako je zviazaný do strany, aby vytvoril uhly, skôr ako dopadne jeho zničujúce výstrely., juking ako široký prijímač na otvorenom poli, a vidíš, prečo Wilder sníval o hraní univerzitného futbalu v Alabame, keď bol na strednej škole.
Fury nikdy nesníval o tom, že bude robiť niečo iné ako box - ako by ste mohli, keď vás pomenovali po legende ťažkej váhy a narodili ste sa do rodiny bohatej na históriu bojov v Írsku. Ale “Cigánsky kráľ” sa tiež narodil s pozoruhodnou obratnosťou ísť spolu s celoživotnou rozvinutou prezieravosťou v boxe, kĺzanie sa po kruhu a boxovanie v štýle, ktorý by sa hodil k welterovej váhe, nie výkonná ťažká váha veľkosti dopredu.
Wilder a Fury sú charakteristické tým, že sú ironické, obri nie sú na športových poliach zvyčajne dominantní. Zatiaľ čo niektorí boli velikánmi všetkých čias - t.j.. 6’9″ Obranca Bostonu Bruins Zdeno Chára, ktorý je zámkom hokejovej siene slávy - veľakrát sú veľkí muži známi hlavne tým, že sú veľkí, a nedosahujte vrchol ich športu. A pochopiteľne. Byť kolosálne veľký je často prekážkou v mnohých ohľadoch, ako je to výhodou, najmä pokiaľ ide o pohyb a obratnosť. Najvyšší hráč NFL, sedemstopový Richard Singh, odohral iba osem zápasov v kariére, historicky najvyšší hráč MLB, 6’11” Jon Rauch, bol odcestovačom, a tenis’ 6‘10” a 6’11” mrakodrapy Ivo Karlovic, John Isner a Rilley Opelka nemajú svoje veľké mená.
Ako sa ľudia v priebehu rokov stali väčšími a silnejšími, prirodzene, tak maj boxerky. Rocky Marciano, státie 5’10 ½” a vážiac tesne nad 180 libier, by bola podľa dnešných štandardov malá ťažká váha. Joe Louis a Muhammad Ali, mnohými považovaný za dve najväčšie váhy všetkých čias, a určite nie malí bojovníci vo svojej dobe, stál 6’1 ½” a 6’3″ príslušne. Teoreticky, Louis by sa vzdal deväť centimetrov na dosah Furymu, ktorých rozpätie krídel je 85″. V predchádzajúcich obdobiach existovali mimoriadne hodnoty, samozrejme - Jess Willard a Ernie Terrell mali 6’6″ a vyššie a zachytené tituly ťažkej váhy - ale celé desaťročia bolo možné byť veľkosťou moderného krížnika a nielen konkurovať, ale buďte impozantnou postavou v rozdelení.
Veci sa začali meniť koncom 80. a 90. rokov, keď Tony Tucker, Riddick Bowe a Lennox Lewis, trojica 6’6″ heavyies zachytil opasky. Novodobú éru však priniesli Vitali a Wladimir Klitscko, 6’6″ bratia, ktorí v podstate vládli rozdeleniu v lepšej časti desaťročia predtým, ako Fury zosadil Vladimira za priamu korunu v r. 2015.
Box mal v priebehu rokov svoj podiel gigantov, mnohé z nich nedosahovali elitnú úroveň. V poslednej dobe, Fanúšikovia si spomenú na veľmi vychýrenú americkú perspektívu Tye Fields, týčiaci sa 6’8″ southpaw kto napriek obrovskému humbuku, nikdy nebojoval o svetový titul. Julius “Tyčiace sa peklo” Long odštartoval svoju kariéru 5-0, a o 7’1″ s 90″ dosah vyzeral ako sila, s ktorou treba rátať, predtým, ako sa usadíte ako jeden z najslávnejších cestovateľov a spoľahlivých sparring partnerov.
Wilder a Fury sú pozoruhodnou zmesou veľkosti a atletiky a vzpierajú sa trendu, ktorým môžete byť “príliš veľký” byť skvelý. Keď sa odveta blíži, je vzrušujúce - alebo možno strašidelné - premýšľať o ďalšom vývoji ťažkých váh, ktorý príde po týchto dvoch. Boli časy, keď bol veľký George Foreman, o 6’3″ a s 78″ dosiahnuť, alebo Larry Holmes o 6’3″ s 81″ dosiahnuť, boli považované za jednu z najťažších fyzických prítomnosti, ktoré kedy mohli vstúpiť do ringu. Wilder a Fury však stanovili nový fyzický štandard. Budú sa ťažké váhy veľkosti NBA v nasledujúcich rokoch normou?
Aspoň pre túto chvíľu, Wilder a Fury sú ďaleko od normálu. Sú to kolosálne prítomnosti, áno, ale sú to tiež dve najlepšie ťažké váhy na svete na vrchole svojich síl, sa snaží nadviazať na jeden z najpamätnejších bojov, a živo diskutované ťaháky z nedávnej histórie.
Kto sa vo februári postaví do výšky 22?

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from the Renaissance Allentown Hotel:
GARY RUSSELL JR.
“Mali sme skvelý tréningový kemp. I have my younger brothers on the card with me and in camp, pushing me every day. Sme pripravení, focused and hungry.
“Tug will be the best he possibly can be because he knows he’s facing one of the best fighters in the world. He has everything to gain and nothing to lose. He’s going to leave it all on the line.
“I think Tug is a lot more technically sound than a lot of the guys who I have competed against. He’s another guy with everything to gain and nothing to lose, so I’m anticipating a tough fight.
“If it were up to me, I’d be facing Leo Santa Cruz or Gervonta Davis, but this is what I have to face. I’m here to defend my title in style once again.
“It’s amazing to watch my younger brothers and to have them on the same card. I’m excited to work their corners. There’s never been a set of three brothers to become world champions, and I think we’ll do that real soon. They’re both extremely talented and hungry. I expect them to be better than me by the time they’re at this point in their careers.
“I was the first fighter to turn pro on ShoBox, and I went on to win my title on SHOWTIME. The fact that we’re still doing it now speaks wonders. I work great with their team and I’m grateful to be in this position.
“You should expect to see what you always see with me. Boxing at its best. A great deal of ring generalship. Good boxing IQ. Hand speed. Punching power. The total package as a fighter. As a matter of fact, I’m trying to figure out why I’m not on the pound for pound list given all of that. That’s an issue.”
TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR
“Som veľmi nadšený pre tento boj. It’s going to be a good fight for the fans. Gary Russell Jr. is a great champion, but watch on Saturday night, when I become the new featherweight world champion.
“I just have to be better than Gary Russell on Saturday night. The past experience won’t matter. If he thinks I’m too inexperienced for this fight, he is going to be in for a surprise Saturday.
“I know that I’m the underdog, but that doesn’t affect me. I don’t care if I’m the favorite or the underdog.
“I’m not worried about any ring rust. I’ve worked so hard in the ring during training camp to make sure I’m the best I’ve ever been.
“Working with Ismael Salas has been very good for me and I think it’s taken me to another level in my career. All of skills, all of my power and speed, it will all be with me on Saturday. I just have to put it together for my best performance.
“I’m very ready for this fight. I want to be the first WBC featherweight champion in history from Mongolia. Som pripravený, you just need to watch on Saturday.”
Guillermo Rigondeaux
“Bantamweight is my division. I have no issues making that weight. I want to thank my team for getting me prepared and getting me to this position. All that’s left is to fight Saturday night.
“I want to also thank Ronnie Shields for how he has prepared me for this fight. It’s been a great training camp and I can’t wait to step into the ring and become champion again.
“cítim 100% and I believe that bantamweight has always been my best weight. I did well at 122 libier, so i stayed there. My plan now is to dominate this division.
“Me and Ronnie Shields have great chemistry and worked well together. Ronnie is a great trainer and I’m looking forward to a long run that we’re going to have together.
“I’m going to be phenomenal in the ring. I’m going to unify 118 pounds just like I did at 122 libier. I’m excited to get started.
“My strategy will depend on the fight that Solis brings. I’m a veteran in this sport, dating back to the amateurs, so I’m used to seeing so many different styles. I’m to fight the way that gives me the best chance to win.”
LIBORIO SOLIS
“Thank you very much to my team who has backed me and supported me leading up to this fight. I’m very grateful for this opportunity. My opponent has been a great champion and I’m very excited to be here to fight him.
“This is obviously going to be a great fight. I’m a warrior who always comes to fight. He can pick his strategy however he wants. But I just want to get in there and put my skills on display.
I was already a champion in one division and I had a fight taken on the scorecards at bantamweight, or else i would already be a two-division champion.
“Saturday is going to be different than my last fights. Both me and Guillermo give our heart and soul and we’re going to fight until the best man wins. I’m not leaving that ring without a championship.
“I’m going to come with everything on Saturday. I come to fight and I come to win. I’m sure Guillermo is the same. The difference will be my determination to win this fight.
“I don’t think anyone’s weight or which division we fought at in the past will be an advantage. I’m sure he could have always fought at 118. The person with the advantage is who wants it more.”
JAIME ARBOLEDA
“I want to thank all the great champions up on this stage and everyone on my team who made this fight happen. This opportunity has been a long time coming and I’ve been preparing hard to make the most out of it.
“V sobotu, I’m very confident that this is going to be a great fight and end in a knockout. I’m prepared and I know that I’m going to win.
“This is a great chance to get one step closer to my dream of becoming a world champion. I know what I have to do and I’ve prepared every day to make sure that I fight my best on Saturday night.
“We have a lot of respect for each other and we’re looking forward to Saturday night. Don’t miss this card because it’s going to be action packed from start to finish.”
JAYSON VELEZ
“I’m happy to be here again and back in a big fight. My last time fighting on SHOWTIME was in 2012 and I’m very thankful for this opportunity to compete on this stage once again.
“I’m blessed to be able to do what I do every day. I’ve fought professionally since 2007. This is the dream that every boxer has. When I win on Saturday, I’ll be the mandatory for the belt and that’s the opportunity that I want.
“I’ve been training hard for this fight and I’m ready. I’ve won three fights in a row heading into a great fight between two hungry fighters. We want to add each other to our record and I believe that this fight is ending in knockout.
“Don’t miss this fight because this is going to be great. There’s going to be a lot of action. Every time I step into the ring, vyhrať alebo prehrať, I will leave everything in there. I fight with my heart and I fight for Puerto Rico.”

HOUSTON, TEXAS – Február 4, 2020 – Bývalý majster sveta Guillermo Rigondeaux will seek to become a three-time, two-division world champion when he moves down to bantamweight to challenge former championLiborio Solisfor the vacant WBA title live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Február 8 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from PPL Center in Allentown, Pa.
“I’m trying to make history by winning a third world title in a second weight class, while also matching my two [Olympijské] Gold Medals,” said Rigondeaux, who will fight at bantamweight for the first time in his career. “I want to make a statement and solidify my legacy as one of the best Cuban fighters ever. I want the boxing world to be talking about me, as I seek to become a world champion once again. Február 8 will be a special day for me and my family.
“I know at super bantamweight I am a force to be reckoned with. Now that I’m moving down to bantamweight, I feel stronger and I’m getting the most out of my skills. The bantamweight and super bantamweight divisions are filled with great fighters to test myself against. It’s a very exciting time and I am training very hard for each opportunity that is granted to me.”
This will be Rigondeaux’s second straight fight working with the renowned head trainer Ronnie Shields, and conducting training camp at Shields’ gym in Houston.
“Ronnie and I are working very hard and smart,” said Rigondeaux. “We have put together a great game plan that we are going to execute on fight night. All of my tools are getting sharpened up and everyone will see that the hard work we’ve put in will pay off. Ronnie is a great coach and I’ll be fighting with something to prove on fight night.”
“He is very focused, and one of the hardest workers in the gym,” said Shields. “Rigondeaux is so determined to become a world champion once again. He comes to camp every single day with that goal, and I don’t see any way he doesn’t achieve it.”
Rigondeaux is coming off an exciting knockout win over former world champion Julio Ceja last June. The Guantanamo, Cuba native will look to capture his next world title when he faces Solis, a former super flyweight world champion for the vacant WBA belt.
“Solis is a good opponent and a worthy challenger, but I am ready to reclaim my status as a world champion,” said Rigondeaux. “I’m going to show people why I am one of the best boxers of my generation.
“This is a very big deal for me. For years I was one of the best fighters in the world, Ak nie je uvedené, the best fighter in the world. When you’re a champion, you only fight the top opponents and those are the type of fights I want. I’m going to start another long reign as champion beginning February 8.”

PHILADELPHIA (Január 19, 2020) – Jeison Rosario captured the WBA and IBF Super Welterweight World titles with a shocking fifth round stoppage of hometown favoriteJulian “J-rock” WilliamsSaturday night in the FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes from Temple University’s Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.
“As soon as I stepped into the ring, I knew he could not hurt me,” said Rosario. “I knew that my power was affecting him right away. This is a big victory for me and for the whole Dominican Republic.”
“Rosario was the better man tonight,” povedal Williams. “It was a great homecoming for my fans and I’m sorry I let them down. What went wrong tonight needs to and will be fixed. We’re going to an immediate rematch and we look forward to returning the favor.”
In his first world title fight, the Dominican Republic’s Rosario landed power punches from the outset and opened up a cut on with a punch over Williams’ right eye in the second round. Williams was landing power punches of his own, but was unable to stop Rosario from coming forward.
Watch round two highlights where Rosario opens the cut over Williams’ eyetu.
“I’m so emotional in this moment right now,” said Rosario. “When I lost my last fight I said I will never lose again until I become champion of the world and that’s what happened tonight. I came prepared. I knew before the fight that I was going to win it.”
In round five Rosario landed the punches that would ultimately lead to the end of the fight, hitting him with hard straight right hands that immediately slowed Williams.
“I have to give a lot of credit to my team,” said Rosario. “I had a 16-week training camp and that prepared me for this. My life is changed forever and I can support my family in a whole new way. I realized that I was going to win, once I was offered the fight. I knew that if I made the sacrifice, that I would do what I did tonight. I knew it 16 weeks ago.”
Rosario sensed his moment and came forward with big punches, while Williams tried to hold and survive. Eventually the onslaught proved to be too much, and referee Benjy Esteves halted the bout 1:37 do kola. V čase do zastavenia, Rosario led 39-37 on two cards, with the third card scored 38-38.
“I wasn’t surprised he was so good,” povedal Williams. “I told everybody he’s a real fighter. I have to accept it. The cut blurred my vision a little bit but it wasn’t the reason why I lost. He was the better fighter tonight. We’ve got a rematch clause. I’ll see him again soon. I’ll be back.”
The co-main event saw rising starChris “Prime Time” Colbert (14-0, 5 KO) drop former championJezreel Corrales(23-4, 9 KO) on his way to a unanimous decision victory that earned him the Interim WBA Super Featherweight Title.
“On je veľký bojovník,” said Colbert. “People don’t realize that, because he had a bad decision against Ladarius Miller. But he’s a great fighter. He’s very awkward. He’s slick and fast. It was hard to catch him because he was running, but he came to fight. I take my hat off to him.”
The action began tactically, with Colbert trying to figure out the awkward style of the veteran former champion Corrales. Colbert switched from orthodox to southpaw and was able to control the early action despite a slow pace.
“I did my job in there,” said Corrales. “My strategy was to hit and not get hit. I felt like I made him struggle for a lot of the fight. The knockdown wasn’t from being hurt, it was my balance. Our feet got tangled and I lost my balance. I came in here to win. We both did our jobs, but the judges scored his pushing more than his punching.”
Colbert continued to vary up his attack as the fight went on, while Corrales was able to have some success in the middle rounds landing straight lefts to counter his attacking opponent. In round 10 Colbert began to pull away, landing a clean left hook followed by a right hook to the top of the head that put Corrales on a knee.
“I had confidence coming into the fight,” said Colbert. “I knew I was going to dominate the fight and I told you all that before the fight happened. He was running and I was trying to catch him, so I told my corner, let’s have a dog fight. We got 12 kolesá. I’m in shape. Vidíte, I didn’t sit down one round. I’m in shape and I came to fight. I wasn’t going to leave without this title.
The 23-year-old from Brooklyn seemed to get stronger as the fight went on and finished the championship rounds impressively, staggering Corrales in the waning moments of the fight to punctuate the performance. Colbert was the victor on all three judges’ karty, podľa skóre 117-110 a dvakrát 116-111.
“The strategy was to use my jab like I did and try to set up my punches,” said Colbert. “But he’s very awkward and has good distance. Slowly but surely I decided to stop boxing, close the distance and get on him. I knew he couldn’t out throw me, I’m from Brooklyn.”

In the FOX PBC Fight Night opener, top super welterweight prospectJoey Spencer(10-0, 7 KO)remained unbeaten with a unanimous decision overErik Spring (13-4-2, 1 KO) after six rounds of action.
Fighting from the southpaw stance, Spring looked to land big overhand lefts but was rarely able to catch up to the speedy 19-year-old Spencer. Spencer dominated the action with his speed and by landing big hooks throughout the action.
“I was in there with a cagey, long southpaw,” said Spencer. “Ak chcete byť úprimný, when a guy is fighting as cagey as he was, it’s really hard for a guy with my style to just pull something out of nothing. He was a real defensive guy.”
Spencer was especially effective sneaking a powerful left hook around Spring’s guard. Spring tried to press the action in the later rounds and force a firefight but Spencer remained patient and picked his spots. Late in round six, a left hook from Spencer sent Spring flying into the ropes, before he was saved from the follow up onslaught by the bell.
“At the end I really just pressed him, said I’m going to finish strong, and hit him with some good shots,” said Spencer. “If I had done that in the first or second round, I would have ended it early. I’m glad to get the six rounds in. Experience is everything. You’re only as good as your next fight. I’m happy to get in there and get some good experience and I did my thing and got the shutout.”
“I was waiting too much,” said Spring. “I thought he would come in and engage more and I was looking counter him but he stayed on the outside. I was more impressed by his speed then his power. He’s a talented fighter but I could have been more effective.”
After six rounds, all three judges saw the fight for Spencer, by the score of 60-54 trikrát. PBC’s 2019 Prospect roka, Spencer will look for another big year in 2020.
“I’m going to stay busy this year,” said Spencer. “I’m going to have a four-fight year. This is one of four. We’re looking to bring some excitement and have some fun.”
Watch Joey Spencer seal his 10th career win with a powerful combo just before the final belltu.
