Ecco cosa avevano da dire i combattenti e dirigenti:

GERVONTA DAVIS:
Pensieri su Gamboa e salendo di peso:
“Sappiamo Gamboa è un veterano e che ha avuto un sacco di guerre, così sappiamo che abbiamo una dura lotta. E 'sicuramente pericoloso. Egli può colpire. Egli può combattere.

“La sua ultima battaglia ha fatto 134, così sappiamo che può ottenere più grande di me a quel peso. Sto andando in questo sapendo che è un combattente più grande di me. Sto solo andando a portare il mio potere e capitalizzare quella classe di peso e diventare campione del mondo.

“Credo di essere uno dei migliori combattenti del mondo, ma non mi faccio paragono ad altri combattenti. Mi basta andare fuori e ottenere il lavoro fatto.

“Atlanta è la mia seconda casa. Sono fiducioso lo venderò fuori.”

Sulla sua capacità e unicità come un combattente:
“Io vengo da un panno diverso da questi altri ragazzi. Ho passato tutto nella mia vita. Un sacco di persone non hanno vissuto quello che ho. Se mai battuta che avrebbe dovuto essere da qualcuno che è stato attraverso quello che ho passato. Non può essere chiunque sia stato appena allenato per tutta la vita.

“Ogni Io passo il tempo sul ring Sono disposto a lasciare tutto lì dentro. Un sacco di persone non hanno visto le mie competenze piene perché non ho combattuto un avversario che li ha portati fuori.”

Sul suo potenziale in questo sport:
“Il mondo della boxe non ha visto il mio vero potenziale come un combattente, hanno appena visto il mio potere. Sono il tipo di boxer in cui se non appartengono in là con me, non sarà lì troppo a lungo. Alcuni combattenti come prendere il loro tempo. Sono il tipo, se so che non sei al mio livello, Ho intenzione di mostrarlo. Il mondo vedrà. Mi batterò nessuno.”

JACK Badou:
Sul suo prossimo match contro Pascal:
“Sono entusiasta per questa lotta. Io in realtà chiamato Pascal il giorno prima della sua ultima battaglia e fargli sapere che stavo tifo per lui. Ma questo è business, alla fine della giornata. Vengo a riprendere il mio titolo.”

Su come si sente a questa età:
“Mi sento come un giovane 36 anni. Io vivo una vita pulita. Sono sempre in palestra di formazione e cerco di non prendere alcuna pena. Ho un paio di anni a sinistra e Sono più motivato che mai. Avevo bisogno di quel po 'di pausa. Non avevo avuto una pausa da quando ero un dilettante venti anni fa. Ho preso tempo per rilassarsi con la famiglia e mangiare buon cibo. Ora sono affamato.”

Sulla sua ultima prestazione contro Marcus Browne:
“Tutti quelli che mi ha visto nella mia ultima battaglia poteva vedere ero piatta. Il mio istinto di combattimento a calci in quel punto. Stava combattendo un uomo morto.”

Sulla Davis vs. Gamboa matchup:
“E 'una grande lotta. Gamboa è un po 'più vecchio, ma lui sembrava buono nella sua ultima battaglia. Io sono un grande, grande fan di serbatoio – il modo in cui combatte, la sua velocità, il suo atletismo, tutto. Egli ha il potere stella. Era sulla mia undercard, ora sono in suo. Ha intenzione di portare grandi cose per lo sport e il tempo che rimane concentrato, che stia per essere una superstar. Lui è già una superstar.”

LEONARD Ellerbe:
su Davis’ la posizione e la progressione nello sport:
“Stiamo per mostrare a tutti come ha intenzione di diventare la più grande star di questo sport. In 2020 stiamo andando a soffiare questo fuori dall'acqua. Siamo stati in grado di pensare fuori dagli schemi. È così che si cresce lo sport. Abbiamo fatto uno sforzo concertato per attraversare lui oltre al mainstream; lavorare con i Baltimore Ravens, la sua sfilata, ora Atlanta.

“Il nostro piano è quello di rendere i combattimenti più grandi e migliori là fuori. Stiamo per chiamare i colpi e sta andando ad essere alle nostre condizioni, e ti faremo sapere a tutti quando ciò accade. Tutti vogliono combattere serbatoio. C'è una cosa comune quando si parla di 126, 130, 135, e ora 140. C'è un nome che è comune tra i combattenti e che è serbatoio. Questo sta per essere un grande viaggio ed è meglio ottenere su di esso ora.

“Se riesce a superare Gamboa dicembre 28, poi nel 2020 sta andando in quel mondo pay-per-view. Quando si dispone di quel tipo di potere stella e stai pensando di fuori della scatola, non solo gli appassionati di boxe, stiamo andando a fare le grandi lotte là fuori nel mondo.”

Su Badou Jack:
“Badou il sogno di un promotore. E 'un ragazzo che ti dà problemi. Sta là fuori a fare cose meravigliose per se stesso e la sua famiglia. Sta facendo tanto per aiutare tanti altri. Sta usando la sua piattaforma nel modo giusto. E 'un onore lavorare con un lottatore come lui.

“Ho sempre saputo che era un grande talento e, a volte si possono trovare i diamanti grezzi. Ognuno sta sempre a guardare i ragazzi che escono delle Olimpiadi. L'abbiamo visto in palestra e lui davvero incasinato un ragazzo up. Abbiamo avuto un occhio su di lui e abbiamo elaborato un accordo con Lou [DiBella] e il resto è storia.

“Abbiamo avuto una battuta d'arresto, ma tutto accade per una ragione, e ha appena tolto dal. Lui è un grande combattente e mi piace il fatto che lui è sempre pronto a combattere il meglio. Mai ha dovuto indovinare che lui è disposto a combattere tutti.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA:
“Ci sono vantaggi e svantaggi per promuovere uno spettacolo in questa data. C'è stato un sacco di successo promuovere spettacoli di musica su quel fine settimana. Non è le mele alle mele, ma è uno dei fattori che sono andati in e c'è un modo per trasformare questo in qualcosa di speciale e perché unica di base di fan di Gervonta.

“E 'bello avere pugili qualificati ma abbiamo bisogno, per la salute dello sport, ragazzi come Gervonta che stanno mettendo mozziconi nelle sedi. Questa è la chiave di portarlo a Atlanta. La boxe è una parte di una cultura che attraversa in musica e lo sport. Non c'è un atleta che non guarda un incontro di boxe in pay-per-view. Attingere che con una personalità come serbatoio è solo andare per espandere lo sport.

“C'è un'autenticità e l'apertura su Gervonta. C'è un sacco di persone che hanno avuto battute d'arresto che non ne parlano, come serbatoio. Ci vuole un rischio per parlare di questo ed è per questo molte persone possono riguardare. Questo è serbatoio. Quello che vedi è quello che ottieni. E 'molto reale. È molto autentica e penso che è il motivo per cui le persone si connettono con lui la persona al contrario di lui il combattente.”

Harrison vs. Charlo II è un rematch ad alta tensione che ha costruito fin dalla fine del primo matchup. I due sono stati impostati per soddisfare nel mese di giugno, ma la rivincita è stata rinviata quando Harrison ha sofferto legamenti strappati dopo la distorsione alla caviglia in allenamento.

Ora che è completamente guarito, Harrison è pronto a consolidare la sua presa sul titolo, mentre Charlo è pronto a riprendersi ciò che crede gli appartiene. La rivincita arriva appena un giorno corto di un anno dalla prima volta che i due entrò nel ring contro l'altro su FOX.

Nel primo incontro, Harrison implementato una strategia difensiva tattica che smussato gran parte della forza di-alta potenza reato di Charlo. L'intrigo della rivincita è se Harrison sarà in grado di utilizzare una strategia simile a rimanere campione o sarà Charlo in grado di imporre la sua volontà su Harrison e riconquistare il titolo.

Il 29-year-old Harrison (28-2, 21 KO) sono entrati nella prima partita contro Charlo essendo venuto a breve nel suo tentativo titolo mondiale precedente. Ha perso a Jarrett Hurd in un'offerta per il titolo IBF in 2017. Harrison, un protetto del defunto Emanuel Steward e nativo di Detroit, rimbalzati con tre ottime prestazioni, tra cui una vittoria decisione su ex campione del mondo Ishe Smith.

“Il ritardo appena mi ha fatto ancora più fame voce in questa lotta,” ha detto Harrison. “Guardando Charlo la notte ci dovevamo andare brillare, e ringiovanire se stesso, ha costruito così tanto la fame in me. Sono stanco delle chiacchiere e il rumore. Sono pronto ad andare.

“Stiamo cercando di lavorare meglio questa volta,” aggiunto Harrison. “Credo che tutto quello che ho fatto prima lavoravo, ma vogliamo renderlo ancora più decisivo. Il piano è da suonare più tecnicamente complessiva. Si può vedere un knockout presto. E 'teso tra le due parti. Sono abbastanza sicuro che lui vuole battere me out tanto quanto io voglio buttarlo fuori. Chi ha il miglior piano vincerà. Ma io sono di gran lunga il migliore atleta. Atleta di atleta che non è nemmeno vicino. Io lo batto in ogni cosa, in esecuzione, pallacanestro, calcio. Il mio stile è perfetto per il suo stile. E 'Shane Mosley alla mia Vernon Forrest. Ti picchierò lui ogni volta che lo faccia.”

E 'stata una serata emozionante per Charlo (32-1, 16 KO) la prima volta che ha combattuto Harrison. Lui e suo fratello gemello, Jermall, il campione mondiale dei pesi medi WBC, sono stati difendere i loro titoli su un doubleheader FOX PBC Fight Night presso Barclays Center di Brooklyn. Jermell e molti prima fila osservatori pensavano di aver fatto abbastanza per battere Harrison, ma i giudici hanno visto in modo diverso, consegna Harrison una vittoria unanime decisione e la creazione di una rivincita contestatissima.

A 29 anni, nativo di Houston, Texas, Charlo, ha vinto il titolo con una vittoria per KO su John Jackson in 2016. Ha continuato ad affermarsi come uno dei migliori giovani classificati di sport con devastante vittorie arresto totale oltre Charles Hatley e Erickson Lubin nella difesa del titolo. Ha segnato una decisione a maggioranza sulla ex campione del mondo Austin Trota prima di affrontare Harrison e, più recentemente segnato un vittoria per KO su Jorge Cota su FOX nel mese di giugno.

“Mi sento ancora forte che ho vinto quella prima lotta e ho intenzione di fare le cose in un modo più dominante questa volta,” Detto Charlo. “Vengo a questa lotta è il prepotente, forte, feroci Jermell Charlo. Tony Harrison non è al mio livello. E 'il mio lavoro su dicembre 21 per dimostrare che e per dimostrare il mio valore. Sto venendo lì concentrato mentalmente. Quando ho combattuto Jorge Cota, questo è un prelim di ciò che è da aspettarsi da me in futuro.

“Voglio guardare per il ko e configurarlo,” continua Charlo. “Non voglio che vada giudici. Questo è il mio peggior incubo. Se non va 12 round, ha intenzione di essere molto feriti alla fine. La perdita mi ha insegnato a essere più paziente e di prendere le cose passo per passo. Ho intenzione di mostrare a tutti il ​​motivo per cui Jermell Charlo è una minaccia per tutta la divisione 154-pound. Io personalmente sento che sono il migliore nella divisione. Sono un aggiornato Jermell Charlo che vedrete in data 21 dicembre.”

READING, Papà. – Ottobre, 27, 2019 – Top super welterweight contender Erickson Lubin continued his resurgence with a dominant 10-round unanimous decision victory over Nathaniel Gallimore Saturday night on SHOWTIME from Santander Arena in Reading, Papà.

Lubin (22-1, 16 KO) won his fourth straight fight since a knockout loss to Jermell Charlo in a title challenge in 2017. The 24-year-old landed 42 percent of his power shots en route to the wide decision, segnato 99-91 da tutti e tre i giudici.

The southpaw relied on a suburb left hook, attacking from a variety of angles against the durable Gallimore (21-4-1, 17 KO) as he improved to 4-0 since beginning to train with southpaw specialist Kevin Cunningham.

I had a tremendous training camp thanks to Kevin Cunningham,” Lubin said. “At first we had Terrell Gausha but he fell out due to his injury. I appreciate Gallimore for stepping up to the plate. He gave me a tough fight and I appreciate it. We gave the fans what they wanted. I measured him. I just timed him and I was able to land my power shots.

Kevin is a real strict trainer and he’s a southpaw specialist. We’re just improving our game every camp. I definitely want Jermell Charlo again. My goal is to get revenge.

Cunningham was pleased with his pupil, who was pushed past the fifth round for the first time in more than three years.
He’s always been a hell of a fighter and I just wanted to fine tune and refine the skill set,” Cunningham said. “He can do everything that you can teach. He’s the total package. He’s got power, he’s got speed, he’s got footwork. He’s more than a brawler. He’s a skillful fighter with power.

He’s ready for all the top guys in the division. The guys with belts are what he wants.

Former lightweight world champion Robert Pasqua, Jr. was victorious in his debut at super lightweight, winning a unanimous decision over Adrian Granados in an all-action fight scored 97-93, 98-92, 100-90.

Pasqua (22-1-1 14 KO), who lost his lightweight title in a unification with Mikey Garcia in 2018, was matched for his first fight a super lightweight against one of boxing’s most aggressive, come-forward fighters and the result did not disappoint. Granados charged forward from the opening bell, pressing on the inside against his rangy, 5-foot-11 opponent. In the first half of the fight, Easter pocketed rounds while fighting from a distance, leaning on his speed to win the first four rounds on all three judges’ scorecard. But the fight seemed to change tides at the midway point, with Granados able to force the bout to be contested at close range. Rounds seven through 10 featured tremendous, back-and-forth exchanges and the more active Granados seemed to get the better of the exchanges.

The fighters combined to throw 1,815 combined total punches and 1,379 combined power punches across 12 round.

We knew he was going to be a hell of a warrior in there,” Easter said. “That’s what we train for. This was no ordinary opponent and we knew he was going to bring it. I wasn’t surprised because that’s what he does. You’ve seen him fight with the best of the best and he threw down. I knew he was going to throw punches in bunches.

This was a hell of a test for me at 140 and I felt strong. I’m not calling out anybody specifically, but you know there are champions in this weight class and I’m coming for all the belts. Line ’em up.

One of boxing’s most reliable action fighters, Granados (20-8-2, 13 KO) threw more punches and connected more and was once again frustrated with a decision that did not go his way.

“Sono senza parole. Mi sentivo come se avessi vinto la battaglia,” Granados said. “That 100 a 90? Come on now.

I’m tired of the same old story. It was clear that I controlled the fight. He never had me hurt. That was embarrassing.

I can’t control the judging. It’s very frustrating. I have a dream to be a world champion and it just seems like it’s not cutting out for me. But I have the heart of a champion and I’m not giving up.

Nel match di apertura della trasmissione televisiva, undefeated Cuban heavyweight Frank Sanchezpitched a shutout against Jack Mulowayi, winning a 10-round unanimous decision scored 100-90 da tutti e tre i giudici.

Sanchez (14-0, 11 KO) was the more active fighter from the opening bell, targeting the body against the defensive-minded Mulowayi (7-2-1, 3 KO). The 27-year-old Sanchez, who was taken the 10-round distance for the first time, threw over 250 more punches than his opponent.

My opponent didn’t really want to fight, he just wanted to fight dirty,” Sanchez said. “So all I could do was give him some lateral movement. It’s difficult when someone doesn’t want to engage. We wanted to touch him down, touch him up high. But once he got touched, the guy just tried to tie up.

There was no problem going 10 round. I’m in great shape and I’m ready to fight again as soon as possible. I showed my technical superiority tonight. All the heavyweights better watch out.

Two-time super featherweight world champion Gervonta “Serbatoio” Davis was interviewed during Saturday’s telecast as he continues to train for his lightweight debut December 28 on SHOWTIME from State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The explosive Davis, who will fight Yuriorkis Gamboa for the WBA Lightweight World Championship, continued to call out the top fighters when he spoke with host Brian Custer.

I’ve heard all these guys calling me out, I don’t want to sound cocky, but I am the cash cow at this weight class,” Davis said. “Me and Leo Santa Cruz are going to fight in 2020.

BRIAN CARLOS CASTAÑO TRAINING CAMP QUOTES & FOTO – Undefeated Former Champion Castaño Takes on Gritty Contender Wale Omotoso in Super Welterweight Showdown Headlining FS1 PBC Fight Night & su FOX Deportes sabato, Novembre 2 From MGM National Harbor In Maryland

NORWALK, come. (Ottobre 21, 2019) – Undefeated former champion Brian Carlos Castaño will look to further cement his place in the 154-pound division when he battles exciting veteran contender Wale “Ragazzo Fortunato” Omotoso in a 10-round super welterweight showdown that headlines FS1 PBC Fight Night and on FOX Deportes Saturday, Novembre 2 from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.

I biglietti per l'evento, che è promossa da Promozioni TGB, are on sale now and can be purchased by visiting www.mgmnationalharbor.com/.

Castaño most recently fought in a standout back and forth title match against Erislandy Lara in March that ended in a split-draw. With a win on November 2, the unbeaten Argentine will put himself in position for either a rematch with Lara or one of the other standouts in the stacked division.

Here is what Castaño had to say from training camp at Legends Gym in Norwalk, California with his head trainer and father Carlos as he discussed his showdown against Omotoso, his most recent fight, future matchups and more:

What are you looking to show to the rest of this division in the fight against Omotoso?

As I do in every fight, I try to prove that I belong among the best in the division. I may no longer be a world champion, but I still feel I am a world champion because I didn’t lose in the ring. Così, I want to show against Omotoso and the world that I’m ready for everyone.

What do you know about Omotoso’s style and what kind of fight can fans expect?

He is a warrior that always comes straight forward to fight. He has proven many times that he can take punches and compete with anyone. Since I´m a warrior too, I think the fans are going to be in for an exciting war.

What did you think of the decision in the Lara fight? Did you believe you did enough to win the fight?

Even though I know it was a competitive fight, I know I did enough to get the win. I respect Lara as a great champion, but you cannot win fights of that level by only backpedaling all the time. I applied the pressure and connected with great punches, so I saw myself as the winner.

Is the rematch with Lara the fight you want with a win on November 2?

I thought I was going to have the rematch with Lara already but he probably didn’t want it. Cominciando dall'inizio, I have a tough challenge in front of me in Omotoso and I never underestimate anybody. I have to beat him in convincing fashion in order to earn another world title shot, either with Lara or any of the other top fighters in the division.

How does it feel to be sharing a card with another one of Argentina’s best fighters, Gesù Cuellar (who fights Javier Fortuna in the co-main event)? Is there added inspiration because Argentina will be so represented on the telecast?

It’s always a great honor to represent Argentina in the U.S., which is the mecca of boxing. To share the card with a guy like Cuellar, whom I’ve known well since our times together on Argentina’s national team in the amateurs, will definitely be something meaningful. I know we’re both working hard to make our country proud on November 2.

Terrell Gausha & Rau’shee Warren Withdraw Due to Injuries

READING, Papà. (Ottobre 10, 2019) – Top super welterweight contender Erickson “Martello” Lubin will now face hard-hitting Nathaniel Gallimore in a 10-round showdown on Saturday, Ottobre 26, live on SHOWTIME from Santander Arena in Reading, Pa., in un evento presentato da Premier Boxing Champions.

The all-action Gallimore replaces Terrell Gausha, who was forced to withdraw from the main event bout due to an injury to his left hand during sparring that required surgery.

Unbeaten heavyweight sensation Efe Ajagba will enter the ring against once-beaten Jack Mulowayi in a 10-round bout that replaces the previously announced Rau’Shee Warren vs. Emmanuel Rodriguez fight. Warren had to withdraw from the contest due to a right hand injury suffered during sparring.

The three-fight SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION begins live at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and also features former lightweight world champion Robert Pasqua Jr. making his super lightweight debut against battle-tested veteran Adriano “El Tigre” Granados in the 10-round co-featured attraction.

I biglietti per l'evento, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and King’s Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com or at the Santander box office (Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.).

Orlando, Florida’s Lubin (21-1, 16 KO) was one of the fastest rising contenders in boxing as he quickly raced to the top of the ladder to challenge Jermell Charlo for the WBC 154-pound championship in 2017. Following a one-punch, first-round stoppage to Charlo, the 24-year-old Lubin has rebounded with three straight stoppage victories of his own to regain his momentum toward a world championship.

In February, Lubin became the first boxer to stop former champion Ishe Smith and is coming off a TKO victory over Zaharia Attou in his last fight in June on SHOWTIME.

It’s unfortunate that Gausha had to pull out because I was really looking forward to that fight,” said Lubin. “Now I’m facing Nathaniel Gallimore, who is a very good fighter whose only losses are to top level guys. I’m expecting a very difficult fight, one that will be explosive for the fans, but one I know I will win. It’s my time to show the world I’m ready to be back on top of the super welterweight division.

The 31-year-old Gallimore (21-3-1, 17 KO) most recently defeated Antonio Todd by decision in August to rebound from close decision losses to unified champion Julian Williams and top-ranked contender Patrick Teixeira in 2018. Born in Kingston, Jamaica and fighting out of Evanston, Illinois, Gallimore put together a seven-fight winning streak before the Williams fight, including knockouts of contenders Justin DeLoach and Jeison Rosario.

I’m approaching this like any other big fight that was in the works for a long time,” said Gallimore. “I’ve been waiting for this moment in my career for a while. This is a stepping stone that can take me where I want to go. Lubin’s a pretty good boxer-puncher. He was on the rise for a moment and I knew about him coming up. E sarà una grande lotta. I’ll make any adjustment in the ring to capitalize on what I need to do to be victorious that night.

Nigeria’s Ajagba (11-0, 9 KO) most recently passed the toughest test of his professional career when he defeated fellow 2016 Olympian Ali Eren Demirezen by 10-round unanimous decision in July. The 25-year-old Ajagba gained widespread notoriety in August 2018 when his opponent, Curtis Harper, walked out of the ring after touching gloves to start the first round. Ajagba won the fight without throwing a punch as Harper was disqualified.

Living in Stafford, Texas and training with Ronnie Shields, Ajagba has steadily increased his competition and added knockouts wins over Amir Mansour and Michael Wallisch this year.

Fighting out of Antwerpen, Belgio, by way of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mulowayi (7-1-1, 3 KO) farà il suo U.S. debut on October 26 in a pro career that dates back to 2015. The 32-year-old was unbeaten in his first seven pro fights before losing a narrow majority decision to Herve Bubeaux in a bout for the Belgium heavyweight title in May. He rebounded to defeat Artur Kubiak in July heading into his fight against Ajagba.

LOS ANGELES (Settembre 29, 2019) – Errol “La Verità” Spence Jr. (26-0, 21 KO) unified the IBF and WBC Welterweight World Titles Saturday night against two-time champion “Orario Dello Spettacolo” Shawn Porter (30-3-1,17 KO) in an action packed main event of a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles.

It feels good to win,” said Spence. “This is a lifetime dream. It shows hard work pays off. Thanks Shawn Porter, my whole team and all my Texas people for coming out.

The back and forth brawl immediately garnered well-deserved Fight of the Year conversation as the two welterweight champions traded power punches from the opening bell to the end. Porter showed his trademark aggressive style throughout the action, smothering Spence while throwing his own power punches.

Shawn Porter is a rough and awkward fighter,” said Spence. “I didn’t get off what I wanted to. He’s a true champion. He made it tough.

That left it up to Spence to weather the oncoming storm and find spots to land power punches of his own. Secondo Compubox, Spence landed 44% dei suoi pugni di potenza, a 25% from Porter.

He’s a strong kid,” disse Porter. “We both came in to do the job. I think I had a little more than what he expected, but he handled it. Congratulations to him and his team. We’re proud of what we did.

In quarto round, Porter had Spence in some trouble, as his power shots to the head and body put Spence on the defensive. The strategy from Porter stayed the same throughout, as Spence began to adjust and find a home for his offense, especially the sweeping left hook.

Round eight saw the action taken up to yet another level as Spence initially got the worst of one of the numerous exchanges, before settling in and responding enough to keep Porter at bay. The high-octane fight continued to entertain heading into the championship rounds with the fight up in the balance.

Spence landed one of the decisive blows of the bout in round 11, connecting flush with that sweeping left hook and scoring a knockdown when Porter’s knee and glove hit the canvas. As expected, Porter rebounded strong, going at Spence and putting him on the back foot for most of the remainder of the round.

I think that knockdown was the difference,” disse Porter. “I couldn’t come back to the corner with my head down after that.

The final round was more of the same, with both fighters going toe-to-toe and leaving the STAPLES Center crowd on their feet and roaring until the final bell. The final punch stats saw both men throw nearly an equal number of punches, with Spence edging Porter 745 a 744 in punches thrown and 221 a 172 in punches landed.

All my punches have bad intentions,” said Spence. “By boxing Mikey Garcia, I wanted to show people I could do it with that style. Porter was throwing a lot. I wanted to show I was the bigger and stronger welterweight.

Dopo 12 rounds the close nature of the fight yielded a split decision from the judges. One judge saw the fight 115-112 for Porter, overruled by two judges who saw it 116-111 for Spence. In the ring after the fight, Spence was confronted and called out by former two-division champion Danny Garcia for a potential showdown next.

It was a top dog fight tonight,” ha detto Garcia. “I want you next Errol. It was a tough rugged fight. Shawn Porter is a tough fighter. I’m here to say I want next.

My how the tables have turned,” said Spence. “I’ve told my team, you line them up, I’ll knock them down.

Spence vs. Porter highlights di qua, di qua, di qua e di qua.

The pay-per-view co-main event saw unbeaten David “La bandiera rossa” Benavidez(22-0, 19 KO) regain the WBC Super Middleweight World Championship from two-time champion Anthony “The Dog” Dirrell (33-2-1, 24 KO) with a ninth-round TKO victory.

Everything just fell in place perfectly,” said Benavidez. “From the suspension to all the big fights I’ve been in. All of that helped me out in this fight. I did not make a mistake or open myself up more than I needed to. I worked behind my jab and got the stoppage. Things are going to get better and get tougher and I’m ready for the challenge.

The fight followed a similar pattern throughout, with Benavidez stalking his opponent looking to unload power shots, while Dirrell circled the ring looking to counter and keep him at bay with his jab.

Benavidez stayed in control through the early rounds, until Dirrell turned the tables momentarily in round four trying to batter Benavidez against the ropes, but he was unable to daze the 22-year-old.

In round six Benavidez broke through with a critical moment in the fight, landing a punch that opened up a cut over Dirrell’s right eye. With the blood pouring, the cut was immediately a problem for Dirrell, who now had limited vision to stop the incoming assault.

He hit me with a clean shot,” , ha detto Dirrell. “That’s my first time ever being cut by a punch. It opened up. There was nothing I could do about it. I couldn’t see the whole fight after that. My corner did a good job on it, but I really couldn’t see.

Despite having his cut checked by the ringside physician in rounds six, seven and eight, Dirrell was able to use his veteran savvy to stay in the fight. As the fight went to round nine Benavidez increased his offense, slowing Dirrell down enough where he could tee off with power punches in the corner.

As Dirrell tried to navigate away from Benavidez’s offense, he began to take take more punishment and looked shaky on his feet. Referee Thomas Taylor officially stopped the fight 1:39 nel turno, at the direction of Dirrell’s corner. Benavidez ended the fight with a 165 a 94 advantage in punches landed, with the biggest margin coming from his 101 power shots landed to just 41 from Dirrell.

There are so many emotions coming at me at once,” said Benavidez. “We put so much hard work into this training camp. We left home and were away from everything. But I had the dream to become the youngest two-time super middleweight world champion and I made my dreams come true.

I would have kept going in there,” , ha detto Dirrell. “I’m not quitting against anybody. Everyone saw I didn’t go down. My legs were still strong, but I couldn’t do anything about it.

We’re going back to the drawing board. I’m still fighting. We won’t end on a loss. You can put anybody in there with me.

Watch highlights of Dirrell vs. Benavidez di qua, di qua e di qua.

Additional action saw undefeated Mario “L'azteco” Quartieri (25-0, 16 KO) score a close unanimous decision victory over Batyr Akhmedov (7-1, 6 KO) to capture the WBA Super Lightweight title in an action packed fight.

I knew this was going to be a war,” Detto Barrios. “He was getting dirty in there but the Mexican warrior in me was not going to let this opportunity pass me by. I dug deep and got the victory.

The action began with Akhmedov trying to get inside against his taller opponent, while Barrios looked to move and punish Akhmedov with pot shots from the outside. In quarto round, Barrios connected with a combo that stunned Akhmedov before Barrios followed up and scored a knockdown when Akhmedov’s glove touched the canvas.

The plan was to gradually grow the activity,” said Akhmedov. “I knew that I had to win by a wide margin. After the first knockdown, I knew that I had to add activity more quickly than I had planned. So I started being more aggressive. I did everything I could to try to stop him.

After surviving the round, Akhmedov picked up the aggression and began effectively closing the space down between his opponent. He began to land numerous clean left and right hooks that put Barrios on the defensive.

As the championship rounds neared, Barrios began to experience severe swelling in his left eye amidst the onslaught from Akhmedov. In the final round, Barrios was able to turn the tide back in his favor late in the frame. He delivered a pinpoint right hand that stunned Akhmdov and again forced him to put a glove on the mat.

After the knockdown, the fight went to the judges scores, who saw the fight 116-11, 115-11 e 114-112, tutti a favore di Barrios. The relentless pursuit after the first knockdown from Barrios ended with him holding a 238 a 135 advantage in punches landed, but it was not enough to sway the judges on this night.

I promised my city of San Antonio that I would bring this title back home and I did it,” Detto Barrios.

The judges see better than I can from the ring,” said Akhmedov. “I did everything I could. Ho pensato che ho vinto la battaglia. They decided that he won the fight. When I watch the fight I’ll be able to tell you what it looked like. My job is to do everything to win. The judges are supposed to judge correctly.

I tried to do everything I could. I was told that I wouldn’t be able to handle his experience, but he was on the ropes most of the fight. I beat him up and I thought I won the fight.

The opening bout of the pay-per-view saw Josesito “The Riverside Rocky” Lopez (37-8, 20 KO) knock out John Molina Jr. (30-9, 24 KO) in the eighth round of their welterweight fight.

We both carry power in our hands so it wasn’t a surprise someone went down,” , ha detto Lopez. “It easily could have happened to me with the power he has. I was able to catch him early, find openings and get the finish.

Lopez landed a critical blow on his first punch of the night, snapping off an overhand right that connected flush with Molina and put him on the canvas early in the first round. Lopez was patient following up and eventually landed a vicious body shot that put Molina down for the second time in the round.

Molina was able to rise to his feet and make it to the second round, and showed flashes that he might be able to change the tide of the fight. He slowed Lopez’s attack down in round two with a vicious combination of right and left hooks to the head.

You can never take the fight out of a fighter,” Ha detto Molina. “I have a never say die attitude and I have my whole career. E 'stata una dura lotta, but the better man won tonight.

I knew he wasn’t going to quit,” , ha detto Lopez. “E 'un guerriero. I had to keep on the pressure. I was thinking that hopefully the ref and the team made the right call to finish it at the right time.

Lopez stayed patient however and jabbed while looking to set up the right hand that had knocked Molina down in the first. In round seven Lopez broke through again, this time landing a perfect straight right hand that put Molia on the canvas late in the round.

After a long look from the ringside physician and his own corner, Molina tried to take his chance at a fight-changing punch in the eighth round. Early in the round, Lopez was able to land several big power shots that prompted referee Ray Corona to stop the bout 39 secondi nel turno.

I wanted to keep going at the end,” Ha detto Molina. “I thought I was still coherent and could still move well. But you can’t go against what the referees say.

There’s a lot more ‘Riverside Rocky’ sinistra,” , ha detto Lopez. “Robert Garcia has turned my career around. I’m a race car and like NASCAR, I’ve got a whole team behind me. I’m a top 10-level fighter. I’m going to give any fighter and any world champion a run for their money. I want memorable fights and I want the best.

Watch Lopez drop Molina in round one di qua and round seven di qua.

The main event of prelims on FS1 saw former three-time world champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerriero (36-6-1, 20 KO) earn a unanimous decision victory over Jerry Thomas (14-2-1, 8 KO) in their 10-round welterweight fight.

The early rounds were strategic, as Thomas relied on his movement while Guerrero looked to fire jabs patiently until he found opportunities for his power punches. Round three saw action jump up a bit as Guerrero landed a big straight left that pushed Thomas hard back into the ropes.

I got some rounds in tonight, which was valuable,” , ha detto Guerrero. “We got what we needed and boxed our way to victory.

Guerrero continued to stalk Thomas and attack the body as his opponent spent most of the fight set on circling the ring. Tuttavia, in round nine, Thomas upped the presser and closed the distance on Guerrero. He landed numerous power shots that put Guerrero on the back foot.

It was Thomasbest round of the fight, but he was unable to put Guerrero down or out and after 10 rounds the fight was in the judges’ mani. All three saw the bout in favor of Guerrero, con il punteggio di 98-92 e 99-91 due volte.

I want to get back into those bigger fights,” , ha detto Guerrero. “I moved around and stayed smart in there tonight. The goal was to stick to the game plan and I did until the end of the fight, but then I got right back on it. You just have to keep working out the kinks and that’s what I’m going to keep doing.

In the opening prelims bout, unbeaten top prospect Joey Spencer (9-0, 7 KO) scored a third-round stoppage of previously unbeaten Travis Gambardella (5-1-2, 2 KO) in their super welterweight contest.

Spencer started the action early, leading with power shots while also controlling the distance between him and his opponent. A series of body shots put Gambardella down twice in the first round, although he was able to make it to the closing bell of the frame.

The body shots weren’t really the plan going in,” said Spencer. “I started off with head shots and he was taking those well. I put one downstairs and I instantly saw it affect him badly. I knew it was a wrap. I was going to keep going to the body.

Spencer landed a powerful straight right hand to Gambardella’s head early in round two and quickly followed up with a flurry punctuated by another body shot that dropped him for the third time in the fight. Although Spencer looked to close hard, Gambardella was able to fight intelligently and make it through another round.

I thought the referee was going to stop it in the second round,” said Spencer. “When he let him go I took a deep breath and made sure not to punch myself out. I stuck to my jab and let the rest take care of itself.

Early into round three, Spencer went back on the attack and connected with a big left hook to Gambardella’s head. Questa volta, referee Ray Corona jumped in and halted the bout 53 secondi nel turno, giving Spencer the TKO victory.

I’m so happy with the improvements that I was able to show tonight on the big stage,” said Spencer. “I’m really excited for what’s to come.

LAS VEGAS (Settembre 28, 2019) – Boxing’s longest reigning heavyweight world championDeontay “Il Bomber Bronzo” Wilderwill take on his most dangerous challenger to date when he defends his WBC title in a rematch against once-beaten Cuban sluggerLuis “King Kong” Ortiz in the main event of the FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Saturday, Novembre. 23 al MGM Grand Garden Arena di Las Vegas.

Three-division champion and current WBA Featherweight ChampionLeone “Terremoto” Santa Cruz will seek a title in another division in the co-main event when he takes onMiguel “El Michoacan” Fiori for the WBA Super Featherweight Championship as part of the pay-per-view action beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Wilder and Ortiz will renew the rivalry they set in motion when they first engaged in an explosive showdown in Brooklyn that was one of 2018’s best fights. Wilder won that bout by 10th round TKO after Ortiz stunned him and almost had him out in the seventh round. The thrilling match featured plenty of twists and turns to necessitate a rematch.

With a combined 66 ko in 74 fiammiferi, Wilder vs. Ortiz II is a heavyweight duel that guarantees an awesome display of punching power. The first fight last year saw Wilder dropping Ortiz in the fifth round, Ortiz stunning and hurting Wilder in a seventh round that he won 10-8 on all the judges’ carte, and Wilder eventually dropping Ortiz again with a powerful right uppercut that forced the referee to stop the bout in the 10th round.

We are thrilled to add this phenomenal heavyweight rematch between Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz to an exciting month of entertainment at MGM Grand,” Richard Sturm, President of Las Vegas Live Entertainment and Sports, suddetto. “We can’t wait for fight fans to witness what is sure to be a ‘knockoutof an evening at the Grand Garden Arena.

Wilder (41-0-1, 40 KO), a bronze medal winner for the U.S. boxing team at the 2008 Giochi Olimpici, has more than lived up to the nicknameThe Bronze Bomber.The 33-year-old Wilder has knocked out all but one of the men that he has faced in the ring, making him one of the most feared single-punch knockout artist in boxing today.

The most active heavyweight champion in the sport, this will be Wilder’s third title defense in 11 mesi. He is coming off a highlight-reel first round knockout of Dominic Breazeale in Brooklyn on May 18. Before that had one of the most dramatic matches of 2018 when he dropped Tyson Fury twice, including a stunning knockdown in the 12th round, on the way to a split draw last December.

Born and still living and training in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Wilder will return to fight at MGM Grand in Las Vegas for the first time since he won the heavyweight title with a dominant 12-round decision over Bermane Stiverne on January 17, 2015. The victory had even more significance for Wilder because it came on the birthday of his boxing idol, Muhammad Ali. The rematch against Ortiz will be his 10th difesa del titolo.

When I fought Ortiz not only did he have the pedigree, but also he had the classification of being the boogeyman of the division,” Detto Wilder. “I agree with those who say that Luis Ortiz was my toughest fight to date. No one wanted to fight him and they still don’t. In the rematch there’s more confidence and more motivation to do what I have to do. I’ve already seen the style before. It’s going to make it more fun. I can’t wait to see how he tries to handle me when I’m at my best.

This is the second big fight for me under my company, BombZquad Promotions, and I’m very happy about that. We still have a lot of work to do to build it into the kind of company that I know it’s going to be in the future, but it’s coming along. To be able to do a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View at MGM Grand in Las Vegas under my own banner is fantastic.

Ortiz (31-1, 26 KO) has ripped off three-straight victories since suffering the only loss of his career in that first match with Wilder in 2018, including most recently winning a unanimous decision over Christian Hammer on March 2. Il mancino, who was born in Camaguey, Cuba and now lives in Miami, is one of the most avoided heavyweight contenders in boxing because of his vicious knockout power and crafty southpaw boxing skills. In the first fight with Wilder, Ortiz hurt Wilder with a textbook counter right hook that nearly made him the first Cuban heavyweight world champion.

Outside of the ring, Wilder and Ortiz share a common bond-they’re both motivated to fight for their daughters. Wilder’s oldest daughter, Naieya, was born with spina bifida, motivating Wilder to take up boxing to pay for her medical expenses. Ortiz’s daughter, Lismercedes, has a painful skin condition called epidermolysis bullosa, which results in painful skin blistering and Ortiz has worked to raise awareness for.

I have to give Deontay Wilder a lot of credit for taking this fight because it shows he has the heart of a true champion,” detto Ortiz. “He is not at all scared to take a dangerous fight, because let’s be honest, this is the most dangerous fight for him. In my opinion, he’s the best heavyweight in the world until someone beats him, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do on November 23 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View. ‘King Kongis coming to Las Vegas!”

A three-division world champion fighting out of Los Angeles, Santa Cruz (36-1-1, 19 KO) holds the WBA featherweight title and will be making his debut at super featherweight and seeking a title in a fourth weight class. The 31-year-old has been a dominant force in the featherweight division since 2015, including two thrilling featherweight title duels against Abner Mares and Carl Frampton each. He lost the belt in his first match against Frampton in 2016, but reclaimed it in their rematch the following year. Santa Cruz has competed in title bouts in 16 del suo ultimo 18 combattimenti, while picking up belts at 118, 122 and 126-pounds and is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Rafael Rivera in his last fight in February on FOX.

When I first started boxing my dream was to be a world champion and I’ve been fortunate to win three different world championships in three different divisions,” ha detto Santa Cruz. “I couldn’t imagine winning championships in four divisions. It’s something I never really dreamed of and I’m very happy about this opportunity.

I know Flores is another tough Mexican boxer like me. He always comes forward, so it’s going to be a fun fight for the fans. I’m really looking forward to fighting again in Las Vegas at MGM Grand. It’s going to be a really exciting atmosphere because you have Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz in a heavyweight championship fight, and Deontay always knocks his opponents out, but we’re hoping that our fight will steal the night.

Fiori (24-2, 12 KO) was originally scheduled to fight Santa Cruz for the featherweight title in February, but severely sprained his ankle in training and had to withdraw from the fight. Nato in Messico, but raised in and fighting out of Houston, Flores rose up the rankings with victories over Ryan Kielczweski, Ruben Tamayo and Mario Briones. After suffering a loss to Dat Nguyen and seeking to rebound, Flores was ahead on the scorecards against Chris Avalos in a fight on FS1 when the contest was stopped due to a cut on Floreseyebrow that was controversially ruled to have come from a punch. Flores bounced back from that loss to stop Raul Chirino in April 2018 and also scored a TKO victory against Luis May in his most recent fight on June 29 after the ankle injury.

I’m extremely excited to be getting this opportunity once again to fight Leo Santa Cruz and win a world title,” said Flores. “Being the co-main event on this FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View card with Wilder vs. Ortiz headlining is incredible. This is a dream come true for me, and I’m going to take advantage of the situation. This moment in my life is something I’ve envisioned since I was a kid. On November 23, you will see the best version of myself as I plan to be in the best shape of my life, with the goal of becoming a world champion, and what better way to do it than in Las Vegas at MGM Grand. Leo and I are going to put on a great show, che puoi garantire.”

Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from the Wilshire Grand Ballroom II at the Intercontinental Hotel:

ERROL SPENCE JR.

I feel like all of my fights prepared me for this moment. Porter is not like Mikey Garcia. They have different styles and different mentalities. But there are a lot of distractions fighting at home and I feel like I overcame that to lead me to this point.

I don’t make anything of the words he’s saying. We train hard and we’re focused and prepared for anything he brings Saturday night.

He’s been talking a lot, his dad’s been talking a lot and I’m going to shut him up. They’re going to call me theshow stopperafter Saturday night.

I’ve prepared for everything. It’s all about adjustments. I make them fast in the ring. People thought Kell Brook’s experience would help him but it didn’t at all. I can adjust to my opponent’s style and we will show it Saturday.

“Sono pronto ad andare. I never missed weight and I’m always professional. It’s just hard work and dedication. I’m going to be even more ripped and ready than I was against Mikey Garcia.

This is going to be an amazing event come Saturday night. I will be the unified champion of the world. Shawn comes to fight and I embrace that. I can’t wait because I promise this is going to be one for the history books.

I just have to do what I’ve been doing. I don’t care about the rounds as long as it doesn’t go 12.
I’m going to win and do it in dominating fashion.

It’s important to me to get the knockout. It’s a goal of mine to stop him and I hope to get it done. If can’t get it done, then I’m just going to be comfortable with the victory. But you know I’m looking for the stoppage.

SHAWN PORTER

It’s the competitor in me to get at him any way I can. Until that bell rings, we’ll do whatever we need to do to let him know we’re really here to fight him.

When you’re in there with a top level opponent, it’s supposed to be a close action packed fight. I have everything it takes to make each fight exciting when I step into the ring.

Everyone has seen everything what I’ve done in my career. Everyone knows I can take a punch and I’ll be there from the first round to the last round. We’ll see what happens to Errol as the fight goes on.

This is the best camp I’ve ever had. The nutrition and everything has been spot on. I’m ahead of schedule and that’s where I plan to stay. I expect to be eating Friday morning.

I’m aggressive and I’m strong and guys can’t handle it. There are things that happen in the ring and you just have to move with it. I’m always ready to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

I expected it to get heated today. I know that if I fire at Errol, he’s going to fire back. That’s how the fights going to be as well. Everyone got a good taste of what you’ll see Saturday.

Being in the underdog position is literally where I come from. Northeast Ohio is always an underdog. Everybody works where I come from. We always do the best we can.

The resume is for everyone else to compare and contrast. Per me, it’s all about who’s in front of me. I believe I have the right recipe to be the person to get the job done Saturday. I have the style to challenge him physically and mentally.

We didn’t change too much of our program heading into this fight. For the second time we went down to Washington, D.C. for part of our camp.

ANTHONY Dirrell

The underdog or the favorite I’m always going to ”The Dog’ non importa cosa. People can have their opinion on the odds, but it doesn’t play into my mentality at all for this fight.

This is a fight that could very well steal the show on this pay-per-view. It’s an honor to be in this position. It’s a dream to be on a card like this defending my title.

I have to see how it plays out, but age is just a number. You see Manny Pacquiao and fighters like that who went out and beat younger opponents. You have to be determined and still focused on the game.

Experience is definitely a big key in this fight. I think that he has holes in his game and I’m going to expose it on Saturday night.

The cut from my last fight won’t be an issue for this one. That fight was over six months ago, so if it’s going to heal, it should be healed. It doesn’t affect anything I’m doing in the ring.

My training camp in Las Vegas was spectacular. It’s all about taking yourself out of your comfort zone and push yourself to the max to be successful at this elite level.

I don’t think this fight is going the distance and I know I’m having my hand raised at the end. He got dropped with a jab and I hit harder than Ronald Gavril.

DAVID BENAVIDEZ

“Sono molto motivato per questa lotta. I feel like I have another opportunity to not just get a title, but take it from a champion. Ho lavorato molto duramente per questa lotta. Dirrell has never been knocked out and I’m taking the challenge to be the man who does it.

This is the perfect time for this fight. I’m getting stronger every day. Dirrell feels like he has a lot to prove to the fans. So it’s going to be a war as long as it lasts.

This is going to be an amazing card. It’s a stacked card from beginning to end. I want to make a statement and steal the show.

Dirrell is a great fighter and we’re both ready for what we’re going to do. There’s a respect between us, but I’m going for the knockout. If I don’t, he’s going to get a beating.

I’m definitely going to make this weight class my home. I have no problem at all making weight. There’s a lot of great fights to be made at super middleweight and we’re going to stay here as long as we can get those fights done.

“A partire da adesso, all of my attention is on Anthony Dirrell. We give him the respect he deserves because he’s a champion at the end of the day. It’s going to take my best to beat him and we’re looking forward to doing it.

Dirrell has experience, plus some speed and power. He can change from orthodox to southpaw and has a lot of tricks in his book. He’s been in there with some good fighters. But what motivates me the most is that he’s never really been hurt and I want to be the first. I know when I put my hands on somebody, I can hurt them.
