Dirrell (33-2-2, 24 KO), a two-time WBC 168-pound world champion, won the title for the first time with a unanimous decision over Sakio Bika in 2014. The native of Flint, me. dropped the title the next year to Badou Jack by majority decision, before putting together six straight victories to get back into position to fight for the championship again. He captured the title for a second time in 2019, winning a technical decision victory over Avni Yildirim. Più di recente, Dirrell battled Kyrone Davis to a draw in February, in his first fight since a title fight defeat against David Benavidez in September 2019.

"Sono molto pronto per questa lotta,” said Dirrell. “I know Hernandez is a tough competitor and I’m sure he’ll have a lot of fans there since we’re fighting on the same card as Canelo. But I know I’m ready to fight on the big stage and on a card of this magnitude. I fought on the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Shawn Porter undercard and I think this fight night is going to have a similar feel. I’m just prepared to do whatever I have to do to get the victory. The fans should expect fireworks. I’m not shying away from the action and hopefully I can get the winner of Canelo vs. Plant if I perform well on November 6.”

Fighting out of Fresno, Calif., Hernández (15-4-2, 3 KO) has faced excellent competition in his career, battling a litany of tough fellow rising contenders. The 28-year-old most recently scored an impressive unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Armando Resendiz in September. In addition to his recent triumph, Hernández has twice faced former unified super welterweight champion Jeison Rosario, fighting to a draw in their first meeting before losing the rematch. He has also taken down then-unbeaten fighters in Kevin Newman II and Thomas Hill.

“I’m having a great training camp for this fight coming off of my performance in early September,"Ha detto Hernandez. “As always, the fans can expect me to bring an entertaining fight. I know that I’m up against a former world champion who’s accomplished a lot in his career. I’m just focusing on working hard every day to get the victory and everything that will come with it.”

The former WBC Super Bantamweight World Champion, Vargas (34-0, 22 KO) will return from layoff due to injury when he enters the ring on November 6. The 30-year-old went on the road to the U.K. to capture his title in 2017, winning a decision over previously unbeaten Gavin McDonnell. Originario di Città del Messico, Vargas made five successful defenses of his title, defeating top contenders including Oscar Negrete, Ronny Rios and Azat Hovhannisyan. His last fight and fifth successful title defense came via a unanimous decision over former world champion Tomoki Kameda in July 2019.

“I’m very happy for my return to the ring and my debut with PBC,"Ha detto Vargas. “You are going to see a renewed Rey Vargas on November 6. My opponent is a good fighter with speed who throws a lot of combinations. It will be a tough fight, but I know I have what it takes to win. I couldn’t be happier to be on the big stage on Canelo’s undercard. I know that I have to shine on fight night, take advantage of this showcase, and deliver a great fight for the fans.”

The Baja California, Mexico native Báez (21-4, 12 KO) enters this fight the winner of his last three outings, all coming by TKO. The 26-year-old put together the winning streak after defeats to the previously unbeaten Carlos Caraballo and former title challenger Jason Moloney. Báez, who has fought professionally since 2013, will fight in the U.S. for the fourth time on November 6. Amongst his stateside outings, Báez dominated former interim champion Moises Flores on his way to earning a unanimous decision in February 2020.

“I’m excited for this great challenge on November 6,” said Báez. “I’m planning on giving the fans a true Mexican war and leaving it all in the ring to get the victory. It’s an honor to fight on the Canelo undercard and I’m going to make the most of it. This is going to be a toe-to-toe war, and I’m going to show that he’s not able to stand up to my power and aggression.”

Rodríguez (11-1-1, 10 KO) burst onto the scene with knockout victories in 10 del suo primo 11 combattimenti. He capped off a five-win 2020 campaign with a knockout of Cameron Krael in October and a decision victory against Luis Alberto Veron four months later. Fighting out of his native Santo Domingo, Repubblica Dominicana, Rodríguez most recently dropped a narrow majority decision against Kenneth Sims Jr. a maggio.

“I am very thankful to my team for getting me this tremendous opportunity opening up the pay-per-view for the biggest fight of the year,disse Rodriguez. “I have a tough opponent in front of me, but I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m ready to show everyone that I’m the real deal. My goal remains the same, and that’s to win a world title in 2022. Primo, I am just focused on November 6 and making sure I take advantage of the opportunity that a victory will produce on my road to the world title.”

Romero (14-0, 9 KO) diventato professionista in 2017 after fighting for his native Mexico at the 2016 Giochi Olimpici. The 31-year-old dispatched solid veterans Nestor Armas, Nestor Gonzalez and Ranses Payano in 2019, before earning a 10-round decision over Sergio Torres Alvarado in his only 2020 concorso. Romero made it back-to-back 10-round unanimous decision triumphs in April of this year, as he won his U.S. debut by defeating Deiner Berrio. Throughout his extensive amateur career, Romero owns an impressive victory over unbeaten welterweight contender Gabriel Maestre.

“I’m very excited that my team was able to get me this great opportunity to fight on a Canelo show in Las Vegas,"Ha detto Romero. “I feel just as happy and excited to fight as I did for the Olympic games. I’m going to prove what I’m made of on November 6. No matter who my opponent is, I always train hard and prepare to do whatever I can to earn the victory.”

Biglietti in vendita ora!

LAS VEGAS (Ottobre 13, 2021) – WBA Welterweight Champion Jamal “Shango” James will defend his title against unbeaten contender Radzhab Butaev in a 12-round duel that headlines a night of action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Ottobre 30 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

IL CAMPIONATO DI BOXE SHOWTIME® trasmissione televisiva inizia a 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and features rising welterweight star Jaron "Stivali" Ennis in a 10-round showdown against veteran contender Thomas Dulorme in caso di co-main. Kicking off the telecast, exciting unbeaten lightweight contender Michel Rivera faces Argentina’s Matías Romero in a 10-round attraction.

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, che è promossa da Promozioni TGB, are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com. Ennis vs. Dulorme is promoted in association with D&D Boxe. Rivera vs. Romero is promoted in association with Sampson Boxing.

“A stacked lineup of top contenders and up-and-coming future champions will be on full display October 30 on SHOWTIME in Las Vegas,"Ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “Jamal James has battled his way to the highest levels of the welterweight division and will get one step closer to gathering elite status if he can overcome the unbeaten Radzhab Butaev. The undercard bouts will also feature two rising stars, as Jaron Ennis and Michel Rivera look to impress in tough matchups on a big stage.”

Minneapolis’ James (27-1, 12 KO) returns to action after his previous outing saw him earn an interim title by defeating Thomas Dulorme in August 2020, before later being upgraded to the “regular” championship. The 33-year-old is riding a seven-bout winning streak that includes triumphs over Abel Ramos, Diego Gabriel Chaves and Antonio DeMarco, with four of those matchups coming in his hometown, where he has grown a rabid fan base. With a win on October 30, James moves nearer to a potential rematch of his first and only defeat against WBA Welterweight World Champion Yordenis Ugas.

“Training is and has been at 100%,” disse James. “I’m excited to finally get back in the ring and defend my title. This will be the fight where I show everyone why I’m elite in this profession and should be recognized as one of the best.”

The 27-year-old Butaev (13-0, 10 KO) will finally square off against James in a long-awaited matchup ordered by the WBA. Butaev turned pro after approximately 400 amateur bouts in 2016 and reeled-off KOs in six of his first seven outings. Originally from Russia and now fighting out of Brooklyn, N.Y., Butaev returned to the ring in December 2020, stopping previously unbeaten Terry Chatwood in the third round.

“We’ve been working hard for a year leading up to this fight,” said Butaev. “Everything is going really well in camp and we’re excited to finally get in the ring against James. I’ve seen how James fights and it’s definitely going to be a clash of styles. I can just promise that I’m going to bring the war and make this an exciting fight. I’m going to start writing my history on October 30.”

Ennis (27-0, 25 KO) is the latest in the pantheon of outstanding Philadelphia fighters, combining sublime boxing skills with natural power in both hands. After numerous appearances on ShoBox: La nuova generazione, the 24-year-old Ennis graduated to headlining his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast in his last outing in April, as he became the first fighter to stop former world champion Sergey Lipinets. The knockout victory gave Ennis 17 KOs in his last 18 combattimenti, with the only blemish being a no-decision in the first round against Chris van Heerden in December 2020.

“I’m glad to be back in the ring October 30 on SHOWTIME in Las Vegas,” said Ennis. “This is another step towards becoming world champion! They haven’t seen nothing yet. It’s time for me to continue to shine and be great. I can’t wait to show out and have some fun.”

The 31-year-old Dulorme (25-5-1, 16 KO) has amassed a solid resume at 140 e 147 pounds during his career, climbing into the ring with world champions Yordenis Ugas, Jessie Vargas and Terence Crawford. Born in Marigot, Guadeloupe but representing Carolina, Puerto Rico, Dulorme rebounded from a loss to Crawford for a 140-pound title by scoring back-to-back knockouts, followed by a narrow decision loss to Ugas. The world title challenger is coming off solid efforts in back-to-back decision losses against Jamal James and Eimantas Stanionis.

“I think in the Stanionis fight I demonstrated that I am still at the top level,” said Dulorme. “A lot of people told me I won that fight and I thought I did too. I’m excited to face Ennis because he’s a good fighter, but he hasn’t fought anyone like me. The fans can expect another great performance from me on SHOWTIME.”

Nata a Santo Domingo, Repubblica Dominicana e ora combattendo fuori da Miami, Fla. Rivera (21-0, 14 KO) irruppe sulla scena 2019, facendo i suoi Stati Uniti. debut with a victory over Juan Rene Tellez. Il 23enne ha proseguito la sua ascesa 2020, aggiungendo una vittoria per interruzione contro Fidel Maldonado Jr. e una decisione unanime trionfa contro il contendente leggero LaDarius Miller. Rivera has continued his dominance with a pair of knockout victories in 2021, stopping Anthony Mercado in February before most recently delivering a highlight-reel knockout of Jon Fernandez in July on SHOWTIME.

“Romero made a big mistake taking this fight,", Ha detto Rivera. “What he’s seen from me in the gym, is not the same thing that he’s going to see on fight night. He is far from a fight night fighter. He folds under pressure or runs. He is a good fighter, but he’s not at my level. I won’t let him go the distance like Isaac Cruz did. Ottobre 30, I’m going to give him the beating of his lifetime.”

Romero (24-1, 8 KO) made his stateside debut in March, dropping a competitive decision to top lightweight contender Isaac Cruz on SHOWTIME. Precedentemente, the Cordoba, Argentina native picked up a pair of victories in 2020, winning a 12-round decision over Javier Jose Clavero in November, while stopping Gabriel Gustavo Ovejero in March. Un professionista dal 2015, the 25-year-old will look to bounce back from his first defeat and move into title contention against another elite 135-pound opponent.

“Rivera and I have the same promoter and I personally requested for Sampson Lewkowicz to let me fight him when I saw he had no opponent,"Ha detto Romero. “I am willing to step in because I know I can beat him. We have trained at the same gym, but never sparred. His style is perfect for my style. This is going to be another victory for me to add to my collection.”

LOS ANGELES (Settembre 21, 2021) – Il consenso della boxe No. 1 libbra-per-pound caccia, Superstar messicana e campione del mondo unificato WBA/WBC/WBO dei pesi super medi Canelo Alvarez e imbattuto campione del mondo IBF Super medi Pianta "Dolci" di Caleb si sono incontrati per uno sguardo intenso che si è trasformato in una rissa martedì in una conferenza stampa che ha presentato in anteprima la loro storica e attesissima resa dei conti indiscussa del campionato dei super medi.

Durante un lungo confronto che ha dato il via all'evento, i combattenti si scambiarono parole e lanciarono colpi di occhiata prima che le rispettive squadre si precipitassero sul palco per separare i combattenti, intensificando una rivalità che culminerà nella notte dei combattimenti tra poco più di sei settimane.

Canelo e Plant si daranno battaglia sabato, Novembre 6, live su SHOWTIME PPV all'MGM Grand Garden Arena di Las Vegas in un evento Premier Boxing Champions, con il vincitore che imprime il suo nome nei libri di storia come il primo indiscusso campione del mondo di 168 libbre dell'era delle quattro cinture.

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo sono già in vendita e possono essere acquistati su AXS.com. L'evento è promosso da Canelo Promotions e TGB Promotions e sponsorizzato da Hennessy e Value.

Eddy reynoso, Allenatore e manager di Canelo, e Justin Gambera, Allenatore di piante, si sono uniti ai loro combattenti sul palco dell'evento a Beverly Hills. Ecco cosa hanno detto martedì i partecipanti alla conferenza stampa:

CANELO LVAREZ

“Non sei al mio livello e vedrai a novembre 6. Non vuoi litigare adesso, Te lo prometto.

“Veniamo dal nulla e abbiamo lavorato duramente per essere qui. Per qualcuno che menti e parli male di noi, che ha sconvolto Eddy. È quello che è però. Non ci resta che mostrare a tutti chi siamo a novembre 6.

“Caleb potrebbe essere allo stesso livello di Billy Joe Saunders e Callum Smith, ma lui non è al mio livello. Rispetto il fatto che non sia qui per fare marcia indietro. Puoi vedere da oggi che questa sarà sicuramente una bella battaglia.

“So cosa devo fare e so molto di lui. È un buon combattente ma conosco le mie capacità. La mia esperienza mi darà il vantaggio nella lotta. Ho affrontato stili simili a quelli di Caleb contro Floyd Mayweather, Erislandy Lara, Austin Trout e Saunders.

"È una persona insicura ed è per questo che è venuto con molte scuse su molte cose. Non mi interessa però. Farò del mio meglio a novembre 6 e vinci la battaglia.

"Essere indiscussi è storia per il Messico e per tutti i membri della mia squadra. Essere il campione indiscusso è solo una grande cosa per la mia carriera.

Nella rissa sul palco: “Puoi dirmi qualunque cosa, ma non a mia madre. Combatterò chiunque dica qualcosa su mia madre. E ha oscillato per primo. L'ho appena spinto. Ha oscillato per primo, e faccio quello che faccio. Ha tagliato il traguardo.

“Sarà finito in otto round o meno. Sto per mettere fuori combattimento questo ragazzo. Facile."

CALEB IMPIANTO

"So solo una cosa meglio che dare ragione alle persone, e questo sta dimostrando che le persone si sbagliano. L'ho fatto per tutta la vita. Non appena sono salito sul palco, le persone hanno iniziato a parlare di cosa non posso realizzare e cosa non posso fare. Da dove vengo io, non esiste una comunità di boxe. Non c'era nessun altro professionista a cui potevo guardare e dire che se poteva farlo, allora posso farlo. Tutto quello che avevo era la mia mente e il mio cuore.

"Non lo faccio per essere famoso o per attirare l'attenzione. Quando ho iniziato, eravamo solo io e mio padre. Nessuno pensava che sarei stato qui oggi. Ricordo che lui e mio nonno raccolsero un po' di soldi per aprire una piccola palestra di boxe. C'era solo una borsa pesante appesa nell'angolo. Ma quando vuoi davvero qualcosa, non hai bisogno di tutte le cose fantasiose. Hai solo bisogno della tua mente e del tuo cuore.

"So che le persone non mi credono quando dico loro che sto vincendo a novembre 6. Tutte quelle persone che mi dicono che non posso fare qualcosa, vivi vite credibili e fai cose credibili. Ho promesso a me stesso che avrei corso fino in cima, senza problemi a schiantarsi e bruciarsi lungo la strada. Ho deciso di vivere una vita incredibile e realizzare cose incredibili. Quelle persone che dubitano di me sono la vera ragione per cui sono qui.

“Il fratello di Miguel Cotto può farti fare la danza del pollo ma io no? Bene. segna le mie parole, novembre 6 sentirai le parole, 'E il nuovo campione indiscusso dei supermedi,’ ma sentirai anche le parole, 'e ancora imbattuto.'

“Essere indiscussi significherebbe molto. Ho sacrificato così tanto a questo sport e lo faccio da molto tempo. Tutto quel lavoro si ridurrebbe a un momento. Voglio il mio nome in quei libri di storia e questo è l'unico motivo per cui sono qui.

Nella rissa sul palco: "Abbiamo appena avuto qualche normale scambio di battute lassù e poi qualunque cosa sia successa, è accaduto. Non è un mio problema però. Sono concentrato e bloccato il 6 novembre".

EDDY REYNOSO, Allenatore e Manager di Canelo

"Penso che questa sarà una grande battaglia, uno in cui unifichiamo la divisione di 168 libbre. Come facciamo con ogni combattimento, lavoreremo sodo in palestra. Abbiamo sempre lavorato sodo in palestra.

“Sono un po' turbato da come sono andate le cose oggi, ma alla fine sistemeremo le cose sul ring a novembre 6.

“Il linguaggio offensivo è quello che ci ha offeso di più. Siamo persone rispettose, e da questo andiamo avanti a testa alta. Adesso ci alleneremo bene, vinci la battaglia e guarda cosa verrà dopo.


“Ci sono molte persone che dicono cose sui social media ma poi non si fanno vedere. Alcune persone vogliono abbattere un intero paese e un grande atleta che rappresenta il suo paese. Parlano un sacco di spazzatura. Devi lavorare sodo però. Devi avere il coraggio di lavorare sodo come noi".

JUSTIN GAMBER, Allenatore di Plant

“Voglio ringraziare tutta la nostra squadra per aver creduto in noi e averci procurato questa lotta che volevamo e questa opportunità di fare la storia. Sono state lacrime e sudore di sangue, letteralmente, per arrivare qui. È stato un lungo viaggio. Questa lotta non riguarda i soldi, si tratta di eredità.

"In 1996, quando avevo 15 anni, il mio combattente preferito era il campione del mondo IBF dei pesi medi Roy Jones Jr. All'epoca tutti i fan desideravano un campione indiscusso a 168 libbre e ora alleno il campione IBF e lotteremo per tutti i marmi.

“Sintonizzati a novembre 6 e vedrai il primo campione indiscusso del mondo dei pesi supermedi ed è del Tennessee. Tutto quello che è successo oggi in questa conferenza stampa ci farà impazzire e ci farà venire più fame.

TOM BROWN, Presidente di Promotions TGB

"Ci sono voluti un paio di tentativi, ma eccoci qui oggi con l'indiscusso campionato supermedi di novembre 6. È un vero piacere lavorare con i nostri partner di rete a SHOWTIME per questo evento. SHOWTIME ha una lunga storia di coinvolgimento nei più grandi e importanti eventi sportivi e che continua con questa lotta.

“È un onore lavorare con il re della sterlina Canelo Álvarez, Eddy Reynoso e tutti con le Promozioni Canelo. Sono anche entusiasta di tornare a lavorare con tutti i membri del team Plant. Ho promosso il debutto pro di Caleb in 2014 ed è fantastico vederlo qui oggi in questa posizione.

“Canelo detiene tre titoli, mentre Caleb possiede il quarto titolo nella divisione 168 libbre. Combatteranno per diventare il primo campione indiscusso nell'era delle quattro cinture. La storia si farà a novembre 6 all'MGM Grand Garden Arena di Las Vegas”.

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Presidente, SHOWTIME Sports

“Il 2021 è stato un anno fenomenale per SHOWTIME Boxing. È uno dei nostri anni più prolifici nella memoria recente. SHOWTIME ha consegnato 17 eventi di boxe dal vivo finora quest'anno, con molti altri in arrivo. Otto combattimenti per il campionato del mondo, più unificazioni per il titolo mondiale e ora due lotte per il titolo indiscusso come un ottimo anno per SHOWTIME diventa un grande anno per SHOWTIME. SHOWTIME è la casa dei grandi combattimenti. È la rete più affidabile e più longeva nel pugilato. Non c'è nessun'altra rete che si impegni in modo più significativo o più significativo per lo sport della boxe. Siamo la casa dei combattimenti più grandi e migliori della boxe.

“Siamo orgogliosi di dare il benvenuto a Canelo Álvarez a SHOWTIME. Diamo il benvenuto anche a Caleb Plant per il suo debutto in SHOWTIME. Sono passati quasi nove anni – settembre 15, 2012 – che Canelo ha fatto il suo debutto su SHOWTIME in un'emozionante lotta contro Josesito Lopez. Nove anni sono tanti. Quello era un giovanissimo Canelo Álvarez e un giovanissimo Eddy Reynoso. Ciò ha dato inizio a una serie impressionante di combattimenti in cui Canelo ha dimostrato la sua volontà, desiderio e richiesta di affrontare le lotte più dure disponibili. Insieme di nuovo dentro 2013, abbiamo stabilito un record all'epoca per il più grande pay-per-view di tutti i tempi mentre aiutavamo a lanciare Canelo come la più recente star pay-per-view della boxe. Ora nove anni dopo, siamo orgogliosi di dargli il bentornato per questa mega lotta.”

JOSE VALENZUELA DEFEATS DEINER BERRIO BY UNANIMOUS DECISION IN FS1 PBC FIGHT NIGHT ACTION FROM MECHANICS BANK ARENA IN BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA

Rajon Chance Fights Elon De Jesus to a
Majority Draw in Co-Main Event

BAKERSFIELD, COME. (Settembre 18, 2021) – Unbeaten rising lightweight prospect José Valenzuela (10–0, 6 KO) sconfitto Deiner Berrio (22–4–1, 13 KO) con decisione unanime (100-90, 99-91, 98-92) in the 10-round main event of FS1 PBC Fight Night action, and on FOX Deportes, Saturday from Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield, California.

Valenzuela totally dominated the first three stanzas, landing nearly four times the punches that Berrio landed.

In the fourth and fifth rounds, Berrio found a bit of a rhythm with his unorthodox style and landed a few clean shots on Valenzuela.

Tuttavia, Valenzuela made some adjustments, continued to severely outwork Berrio and dominated much of the second half of the bout.

Even when Berrio landed a right hand to Valenzuela’s jaw in the eighth round and followed it up with a left hand that briefly stunned Valenzuela and pushed him back, Berrio took his foot off the gas, allowing Valenzuela to regain himself and win the eighth round on two of the judges’ scorecards.

The tenth and final round was an all-out slugfest with both fighters landing their share of blows, but Valenzuela survived the best of what Berrio had to offer and cruised to a wide decision victory.

The co-main event on FS1 featured Rajon Chance (5–0–1, 5 KO) combattendo Elon De Jesus (3–0–1, 2 KO) to a majority draw (57-55 for Chance, 56-56, 56-56) in a six-round super bantamweight attraction.

De Jesus seemingly jumped out to an early lead, landing several powerful overhand rights in the third round that resulted in a cut opening up on Chance’s forehead.

Nel quarto turno, Chance and De Jesus got twisted up with Chance bending down to stabilize himself. As Chance leaned forward, De Jesus landed a blow to the back of Chance’s head. Referee Jerry Cantu immediately deducted a point from De Jesus for the infraction.

Midway through the fifth stanza, De Jesus scored a sensational knockdown with a massive right uppercut to Chance’s jaw. Chance picked himself up off the canvas and complained to Cantu that he couldn’t see anything. Cantu called for a timeout to have the ringside physician examine De Jesus’ eyes and the physician approved the fight to continue.

Although De Jesus dominated the action throughout and scored the only knockdown in the contest, the point deduction resulted in a majority draw with both Chance and De Jesus maintaining their undefeated records.

The FS1 opener showcased Amed Medina (4–0, 3 KO) sconfiggendo Abdur Abdullah (4–5, 0 KO) con decisione unanime (40-35, 40-35, 40-35) in a four-round super featherweight showdown.

Medina, who had never fought beyond the first round in his young career, knocked down Abdullah with a short, right uppercut in the opening frame.

Over the following three rounds, Medina controlled the action, landing nearly three times the punches that Abdullah landed, en route to a lopsided decision.

The event was promoted by TGB Promotions.

CARSON, CALIF. (Agosto 14, 2021) – WBO Bantamweight World Champion John Riel Casimero defeated two-division champion Guillermo Rigondeaux to retain his title Saturday night live on SHOWTIME headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

A three-division world champion, Casimero (31-4, 21 KO) made his second successful title defense at 118-pounds, earning a career-best victory over the longtime 122-pound champion Rigondeaux (20-2, 13 KO), who moved down to bantamweight in 2020.

“I’m excited to get the win,” said Casimero. “Rigondeaux is a good boxer and two-time Olympic gold medalist. I was worried, because he said he wouldn’t run, but he ran the whole time.”

The bout started with an eventful first round, in which it appeared for a moment that a Casimero left hook to the back of Rigondeaux’s head would lead to a knockdown, but referee Jerry Cantu ruled the moment a slip. During the exchange, Casimero threw several punches while Rigondeaux was on one knee, earning a warning from the referee.

Da quel punto in poi, Rigondeaux remained steadfast to a defensive strategy that saw Casimero forced to chase his opponent around the ring. Nel frattempo, Casimero stayed dedicated to pushing forward, looking to slow Rigondeaux down with body shots to set up power shots to the head.

“My expectations were for a knockout,” said Casimero. “Me and all my fans wanted that. I did my best to knock him out, but he was just running and not fighting.”

Rigondeaux was content countering his charging opponent, doing a majority of his damage with variations of his dangerous left hand. In a bout with numerous close rounds, Casimero ended the fight with a narrow 47 a 44 edge in punches landed, compreso un 41-28 tally in power punches.

Those power punches and sustained aggression proved to be enough for Casimero to hold onto his 118-pound title in the eyes of the judges, as scores of 117-111 e 116-112 overruled one judge’s 115-113 card in favor of Rigondeaux. While Rigondeaux disputed the decision, Casimero looked forward to potential unification clashes with WBC champion Nonito Donaire and WBA and IBF titleholder Naoya Inoue.

“Nobody wants to fight with me because I frustrate them in the ring,”Ha detto Rigondeaux. “I landed the punches that I needed to in order to win the fight tonight. This is how I win. I have these God-given skills and this is the way I display them. I’m a unique fighter. It’s my style and it’s the only one I know. You can see I’m still better than anyone else in the lighter weight classes and I’m going to keep fighting.”

“I had a three-fight plan,” said Casimero. “First was Rigondeaux, and I beat him. Next is Nonito Donaire and then finally Naoya Inoue.”

The co-main event saw rising contender Gary Antonio Russell (18-0, 12 KO) e l'ex campione del mondo Emmanuel Rodriguez (19-2, 12 KO) fight to a no-decision just 16 seconds into the first round of their 118-pound matchup, after an accidental headbutt injured Rodriguez and ended the fight.

“Succede,” said Russell. “I was looking to establish my jab and I tried to set up a hook, and he came in at the same time. It’s very disappointing.”

“I feel okay,"Ha detto Rodriguez. “I’m a little frustrated after putting in all this work for the fight to end so quickly with nothing happening. With the headbutt, maybe if there was no blood, we would have been able to continue. But once I saw all the blood, I knew it was over.”

The crossroads battle for the Interim WBA Bantamweight Title was meant to offer Russell a chance to establish himself as a true title contender and give Rodriguez an opportunity to move one step closer to becoming a two-division champion. Rodriguez attempted to counter an incoming Russell attack, which led to the two southpaws clashing heads.

“I was actually in camp for about four months,” said Russell. “I prepared great for this fight. I was really looking to broadcast my talents and show everyone what’s in my arsenal. Sfortunatamente, the headbutt happened.”

Rodriguez fell to the canvas immediately and was bleeding from his nose, prompting referee Sharon Sands to wave off the bout, which was ruled a no-decision.

“Naturalmente, I would like to come right back,” said Russell. “If he can do it, I want to get right back in there with Rodriguez.”

“I don’t want to lose the condition that I’m in,"Ha detto Rodriguez. “I prepared really hard for this fight. As soon as the injury is fixed, I’ll be back in the ring and I’d like to fight Russell again.”

Nel match di apertura, l'ex campione del mondo Rau'shee Warren (19-3, 5 KO) dominato Damien Vazquez (16-3-1, 12 KO) on his way to a second-round stoppage in their bantamweight showdown. Warren scored his first knockout victory since 2015, after going the distance in his previous eight fights.

“I was trying to show them something different this time around,” said Warren. “I have always had the power, but this training camp was very different. I was sitting on my punches and working on something different. It worked in the ring.

“I always knew I had that power and I always knew I had that speed. It’s just about taking your time in the ring and letting them come. Quando ho visto l'opportunità, I went for it.”

A three-time U.S. Olimpionico, Warren came out fast in the first round, using his speed advantage to beat Vazquez to the punch, connecting with a right hand midway through the frame that scored the fight’s first knockdown. Vazquez was able to rise to his feet, but was sent to the canvas for a second time moments later by another sharp right hand from Warren.

Cincinnati’s Warren landed an astounding 22 di 39 power punches in that first round, and continued his dominance into the second. Warren perfectly timed a straight left hand that badly rocked Vazquez, forcing referee Ray Corona to jump in and halt the bout at 2:18 nel secondo turno.

“Next fight is a title fight,” said Warren. “I am the number one contender for the WBA. I want to thank my team for putting me in this position and pushing me. They know what kind of fighter I am. I am going to be champion. Next fight I am grabbing that title. Maybe I will fight the winner of the main event tonight (Rigondeaux vs. Casimero)."

SHOWTIME featured highlights from a non-televised fight that saw undefeated rising prospect Brandun Lee (23-0, 21 KO) keep his perfect record intact, as he notched his 13th career first-round knockout with a sensational performance against Ezequiel Fernandez (28-5-1, 3 KO).

“La mia prestazione è stata buona,"ha detto Lee. “It could have been better. There’s always room for improvement. Alla fine della giornata, we got the job done. I’m definitely ready for the next level. It’s only right for me to step up the competition. I’ll take on anybody who’s ready.”

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will replay Sunday, Agosto 15 a 9 a.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Tuesday, Agosto 17 a 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME Extreme.

Veteran sportscaster Brian Custer hosted the SHOWTIME telecast while versatile combat sports voice Mauro Ranallo handled blow-by-blow action alongside Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and three-division world champion Abner Mares.

LAS VEGAS (Agosto 13, 2021) – Former multiple-division world champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero previewed his upcoming showdown against fellow all-action brawler “Vicious” Victor Ortiz before they square off on the Manny Pacquiao vs. Yordenis Ugas FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View undercard Saturday, Agosto 21 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and MP Promotions, sono in vendita ora e possono essere acquistati tramite tmobilearena.com e axs.com.

The two former world champions are known for their aggressive styles and have been in numerous Fight of the Year candidates throughout their storied careers. Il primo agosto 21 they meet looking to score a victory that will put them back in position to vie for a world title once again.

Here is what Guerrero had to say about the matchup, training camp and more:

On his upcoming matchup with Victor Ortiz:

“This fight has been a long-time coming, as I remember it was mentioned years ago, but never happened. I am excited for this bout since we both need a win, and the fans are very familiar with both of our styles. Victor Ortiz and I are both exciting fighters, and everyone knows this is going to be a fan friendly dog fight. Fighting Victor is the type of bout that got me excited to have a full professional training camp. I’m grateful to be fighting on this huge FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View card, and I’m going to give it my all.”

On his recent training camp with coach and father Ruben Guerrero:

“I have been working very hard for this camp, infatti, my father Ruben and I took camp to Las Vegas and brought along some young fighters to keep me motivated. I’ve been getting good sparring with DJ Zamora III, who is very fast. I’m feeding off all the young fighters that are training with me, and that is what keeps me fresh. You need to be around hungry fighters who are motivated to stay at this level, because it is easy to lose focus if it’s just you in the gym.”

On returning to the ring after a long layoff:

"A questo punto della mia carriera, it is about getting the best fights. I got the rust off and now it’s about getting fights that get me and the fans excited. Everyone knows that when I fight, I bring it, and Victor Ortiz is an exciting fighter as well. I am at a point where I have done a lot in the sport, so I am not going to be fighting every other month like when I was a prospect. When you know how to fight, a layoff isn’t always a bad thing.”

Su cosa farà una vittoria per la sua carriera:

“A win here puts me in a position to get in contention for a world title, and that should be the goal of everyone who is fighting, to win a world title. If you’re not fighting to win a world title, you shouldn’t be in the sport. I want to win at least one more world title before it’s all said and done. It’s a lofty goal, but I believe in myself.”

Two-Division World Champion Guillermo Rigondeaux Takes Bantamweight World Champion John Riel Casimero Saturday, Agosto 14 Live on SHOWTIME Headlining a Premier Boxing Champions Event from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California

STAFFORD, TX. (Agosto 5, 2021) – Two-division world champion Guillermo Rigondeaux gave insight into his training camp as he prepares to take on WBO Bantamweight World Champion John Riel Casimero il Sabato, Agosto 14 in the main event live on SHOWTIME from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

L'evento è promosso da TGB Promotions. I biglietti sono ora in vendita e possono essere acquistati su AXS.com. The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will begin at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and will see Cuba’s two-time Olympic gold medalist Rigondeaux, who has earned pound-for-pound recognition at various points in his career, return to action against the Philippine’s Casimero, a three-division world champion looking for a career-best victory in his second 118-pound title defense.

Here is what Rigondeaux had to say about training camp with Ronnie Shields and more:

On his upcoming matchup with John Riel Casimero: “It has been a very focused camp, and I have found inspiration watching the Olympics, and it has lit a spark in me. Winning two gold medals in my early years gives me added incentive to win this fight. I want to prove to the world that I am one of the best boxers ever, and that I have a lot left to give in this sport. I am confident that I am going to do that against the most avoided fighter in my weight class. Casimero is a dangerous fighter and a very powerful puncher, but I’m going to tame him with great boxing skills.”

On his recent training camp with coach Ronnie Shields: “Training in Texas with Ronnie Shields has been great and our energy working together is fantastic. Ronnie has had a lot of world champions, and has a very professional boxing gym, with a lot of world champions and fighters who are competing at the highest level of the sport. I am motivated to work hard, not just to reach my own goals, but by all the young fighters in the gym who are driven and focused. The atmosphere has brought something new out of me. I’m revived and feeling young again.”

On fighting for WBO world title: “It always feels good fighting for a world title, and I have had the WBO title before after I beat Nonito Donaire, but this time I’m going up against a hungry young lion. I am looking to capture another world title, and give another great fight that fans will talk about for years.”

On returning to the ring after a year-long layoff: “I feel good. I think at this point in my career, all the time away from the ring helps. I know how to fight and I know how to train, the big thing is knowing how to recover, and not damage my body. I am doing a good job at staying sharp in the gym, but not over training. A win against Casimero will do wonders for my career.”
