The hotly contested first match between Dirrell and Uzcategui, which was also for the IBF interim world title, ended in controversy after Uzcategui was disqualified for landing a punch after the bell sounded to end the eighth round. Dirrell was dropped and knocked out by the punch. The referee ruled that the punch was intentional and disqualified Uzcategui. In the IBF mandated rematch, Dirrell and Uzcategui will look to put themselves in position to fight for the super middleweight title that Caleb Truax recently earned via a majority decision over James DeGale.
Dirrell (26-2, 16 KOs), a bronze medal winner for the 2004 US-. Olympic boxing team, continues his quest for a world championship. The 34-year-old southpaw from Flint, Michigan lost a split decision to Carl Froch in his first attempt in 2009 and dropped a narrow unanimous decision to DeGale in his next attempt in 2015.
“I’m extremely excited to be a part of one of the most dynamic tripleheaders this year,” Dirrell said. “This time around I’ll be phenomenal and leave no doubt who the better fighter is. Jeg er 100 percent focused on dominating Uzcategui on March 3 and getting another shot at the title.”
The 27-year-old Uzcategui (26-2, 22 KOs), who is from Venezuela and now lives in Tijuana, Mexico, worked his way up to the match against Dirrell with a string of four straight stoppage victories, including a stunning upset of Julian Jackson in 2015. Uzcategui dropped Jackson four times on the way to a second round technical knockout victory.
“I’m very excited to go get what’s mine,” Said Uzcategui. “I feel I won the last fight. I didn’t feel I did anything wrong. What happened in the last fight is in the past. I’m going to get what belongs to me. The world will see what ‘Bolivita’ can do and they’ll want to see more of me.”

LOS ANGELES (Februar. 9, 2018) – Just days after the birth of his daughter, American heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder met with members of the Southern California media torsdag as he prepares to defend his WBC Heavyweight World Championship against fellow-undefeated challenger Luis Ortiz Lørdag, Mars 3 lever på SHOWTIME fra Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™.
Wilder and his girlfriend, fellow “WAGS Atlanta” star Telli Swift welcomed their daughter into the world på tirsdag before Wilder turned his focus to Mars 3, climbing in the ring at Team Watson Boxing Club in the San Fernando Valley to work out with his Los Angeles-based trainer Mark Breland, the former U.S. Olympics gold medalist and former WBC Welterweight World Champion.
The 32-year-old Wilder owns a perfect record of 39 vinner, zero losses and 38 knockouts. Fighting out of his hometown of Tuscaloosa, Ala., han var en 2008 Olympic Bronze Medalist and is the only reigning American heavyweight world champion. The 6-foot-7 Wilder faces the toughest opponent of his career in Ortiz, a 6-foot-4 Cuban who owns a professional record of 28-0 med 24 knockouts.
Here is what Wilder had to say torsdag:
Deontay Wilder:
“Once I unify all the titles then line up the mandatories, I’ll easily get to 50-0. I’m not a 12-round fighter, and I don’t get overtime. Jeg er en knockout artist. So that being said, I don’t take much damage, but I give all the damage. I put people in the hospitals. I put people in stretchers. When you fight me your head is not the same when you leave. When you fight me you’re really signing a death warrant.
“This is one of the biggest fights of my career and I’m up for the challenge. I’m going to pass with flying colors.
“Ortiz has got that reputation of being the bogeyman but I’ve never been scared of the bogeyman. For that reason, I wanted him. A lot of people have been avoiding him, even champions that are champions to this day have avoided Luis Ortiz. But this champion right here took on the opportunity.
Even when [Ortiz] failed the drug test once, I still blessed him again because I’m very adamant about what I want to do. Jeg ønsker å kjempe den beste. I say I’m the best. I say it very proudly, I say it very confidently. I say it so boldly and I want to show the world that I don’t play around. If I say it, I really mean what I say. I don’t have time to waste.
“If he fails again then somebody’s going to need to go whoop his ass. The public needs to whoop his ass. All of Miami should get up and do that. The first time, a lot of people spent a lot of time and a lot of money for tickets and he did what he did. A lot of people were enraged. I heard it and a lot of people blamed me, which I don’t know why. Men, with this fight right here and what I did with my last performance, it makes it even better. It intensifies the whole fight. Så, if he [fails his drug test again] then shame on him. I feel sorry for his soul and his life. I don’t think he’s going to do that. I think he has a lot of responsibilities in his hands right now. At this point in time he knows he needs to do the right thing. Three times is not the charm in all instances.”
“I don’t focus on what these guys are doing. I don’t focus on what their strengths are. I just focus on me. I focus on what I’m capable of doing. I focus on what I’m going to do and when I tell people I’m going to do something, you know I’m going to do it. At the end of the day that’s what my father taught me. There weren’t any contracts back in the day, it was just the shake of a hand. And if you said something and you didn’t abide by it, there’s consequences to your actions, to your words. To this day, I abide by that. Så, if I say I’m going to do something it’s guaranteed to be done.”
On his lifestyle outside of boxing:
“I just think life itself is just mental. I do a lot of visualization. I do a lot of meditation. It strengthens my mind to go through a lot of the situations that I go through. Having a baby and being on a reality show, all of that is fun stuff. Some people know how to maintain it and some people don’t. I’m just a guy that multitasks a lot of things. I can do a lot of things. Even when I’m talking to you, my mind can be in so many different places right now and still be able to comprehend and interact with you. Så, I think I was meant for a lot of things. Boxing is just not what all I can do. I’m so talented in so many different areas.
“I’m a laid back guy. In my personal life I’m just a cool, calm and collected dude that likes to live life and I love peace. Dessverre, in what I do in the ring, I turn into the ‘Bronze Bomber’ and the ‘Bronze Bomber’ don’t get caught by none.”
On being on reality TV and recognized by non-boxing fans:
“I think it’s very important. People need to know who the heavyweight champion of the world is. America got a bad man, an ass-whooper, right in America. I think it’s important and people should understand and should know who that is. That’s why I do the things I do. That’s why I’m so competitive. That’s why I speak the way I speak. Sometimes it may annoy people, it may get on people’s nerves and I never hear it in front of my face, but I understand it. I do it to show people that I’m going to speak it and you’re going to see me deliver it. I think you get the most respect when you say something you’re going to do and you do it. Look at Ali, people hated him. They say he was a big mouth who ran his mouth too much but he proved himself many times and that’s that thing I want to do. I want to speak what I say I’m going to do and you watch me work.”
On Anthony Joshua:
“I want him just as bad as everybody else wants him. If it was up to me, we would’ve been fighting two years ago. I’ve been calling this man out. When they hyped him up and said he was this, said he was that. I’m the type of person that I get happy for other people. With me and my happiness and me being successful, that’s all up to me. It ain’t up to nobody else. Så, when I see other people doing great things, when I see good things coming to other people, I get happy for other people. It’s a hard thing for people to get happy for other people because things don’t happen for them but I’m not like that because I know my blessings will sure enough come. All I got to do is keep working.
“I come in peace all of the time but with him, I don’t think Joshua wants to fight me. His promoters don’t want him to fight me. They’re on the goal of trying to build this resume, saying they want to be the first billionaires, stuff like that. But doing that, the plans all end with me. All roads lead to me. I’m not going nowhere, no time soon. They know black don’t crack. Så, I’m going to be around for a long time. I ain’t the best heavyweight in the division. I’m the best heavyweight on this earth. I’m just waiting on the opportunity to prove it.”
Prediction on Joshua-Parker:
“I’ve always said ‘later rounds’. I see that fight going later rounds if Joseph Parker is smart in what he does. He has nice movement and is able to execute on all of the opportunities that he sees with Joshua. Because Joshua can’t move his head. He’s a muscle, body-building type of guy. You’ve seen my dance? [chuckles] Med det, if he’s able to calculate what he needs to do in the ring – because the ring has a lot of secrets – if he’s able to do things he needs to do, I see late rounds. Men, like I said before, I think they’re going to have to knock Joshua out because they’re not going to give it to him.”
Prediction for Mars 3:
“People ask me the round and I always see threes. This year is a magical year. It’s the year of the 33. Så, I see threes everywhere. I see three rounds or less, maybe shorter than that. It all depends on how I feel when I see him.”

Here is what Charlo and his trainer Ronnie Shields had to say Torsdag from Charlo Boxing and Fitness Club in Houston:
Charlo JERMALL
“It’s going to be a tough fight against Hugo Centeno Jr. If he can stand up to my power, we’re going to fight and it’ll be a brutal war. If he can’t, I’ll take him out in the first round.
“We can’t let Houston down now. My brother and I have made it this far. We can’t stop now. It’s my turn to put on a spectacular performance on March 3. I’m trying to one-up my brother’s previous performance each time I step in there.
“My goal is to show everybody that I’m the best middleweight in the world. I’m going to keep fighting everyone they put in front of me. I’m going to knock them out one-by-one until Canelo or Golovkin have to face me.
“I’ve had the chance to work on some improvements to my game since my last fight. I think having even more patience in the ring is going to help step my game up even higher. I want to be a champion at middleweight more than I did at 154-pounds.
“Hugo Centeno Jr. is another fighter who is in my way. I know he’ll come in prepared, but I’m confident I’m going to walk out of there with the victory.
“This is going to be a big year for me and my brother. We’re going to keep showing everyone why we’re so feared.”
RONNIE SHIELDS, Charlo sin Trainer
“Jermall looks great in training camp and we expect him to be at his best come Mars 3. He’s motivated to put on a good show and prove to everyone he’s a force in this division.
“Hugo Centeno is a quality fighter. He’s well-trained and has length, so Jermall knows he has to be prepared. Centeno isn’t going to let him win, Jermall is going to have to go in and impose his will on the man.
“I believe Jermall has the talent and determination to beat any of the top middleweights out there. We’re going to keep working every day so that when the time comes for one of those fights with a Golovkin or Canelo, he’ll be prepared to take advantage of the opportunity.”

HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION DEONTAY WILDER MAKES SEVENTH DEFENSE AGAINST UNDEFEATED CONTENDER LUIS ORTIZ SATURDAY, MARS 3 Fra Barclays Center i Brooklyn & PRESENTED BY PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS

Legg igjen en kommentar
OGSÅ I AKSJON! UNDEFEATED FORMER WORLD CHAMPION JERMALL CHARLO BATTLES ONCE-BEATEN HUGO CENTENO JR. FOR INTERIM 160-POUND TITLE
IN CO-FEATURE
BROOKLYN (Jan. 23, 2018) – Ubeseirede WBC tungvekt verdensmester Deontay “Bronse Bomber” Wilder will face his toughest opponent to date when he meets hard-hitting Cuban southpaw Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz Lørdag, Mars 3 fra Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™ and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
The co-feature of the evening will see the return of undefeated former 154-pound world champion Jermall Charlo, a powerful knockout artist who is looking to prove that he is a dangerous contender in the star-studded middleweight division. Once-beaten contender Hugo Centeno Jr. will test Charlo’s 160-pound credentials when they meet in a 12-round match to determine the WBC interim champion, with the winner immediately stepping into the picture for middleweight supremacy.
Tickets for the show, som er fremmet av DiBella Underholdning og TGB Kampanjer, starter på $50 og er i salg nå. For å kjøpe billetter, visit Ticketmaster.com, BarclaysCenter.com, eller ring 800-745-3000. Tickets for the event can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center.
“We’re very excited to bring the heavyweight champion of the world, Deontay Wilder, back to Brooklyn for his seventh title defense and third appearance at Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™,” sa Lou DiBella, President i DiBella Entertainment. “This fight is happening because Deontay wanted to silence his critics by taking on the biggest challenge available. Deontay has an axe to grind with Ortiz and will swing it on March 3. Former 154-lb. champion Jermall Charlo is already a top player at middleweight and plans to prove he’s carried his power with him by facing one of the division’s best prospects, Hugo Centeno Jr., who is coming off a huge knockout victory in his last fight.”
“Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz is one of the best fights that can be made in the heavyweight division and its’ what heavyweights are all about – power versus power,” sa Tom Brown, President av TGB Kampanjer. “Everybody loves the knockout and that’s what Wilder and Ortiz specialize in. I co-main event, Jermall Charlo is strictly seek and destroy in the ring. That ferocious spirit made him a force at 154 and he has brought it with him to the 160 pound ranks. Centeno is a rugged competitor and he doesn’t back down from anyone. That makes this a can’t miss fight for the boxing fans.”
True heavyweights in every sense of the word, the 6-foot-7, 228-pound Wilder and the 6-foot-4, 240-pound Ortiz have 62 combined knockout victories.
The 32-year-old Wilder (39-0, 38 KOs), the only reigning American heavyweight world champion, is a knockout artist with the power to end any fight in spectacular fashion. His only professional match that went the distance was the fight in which he won his world title with a dominant 12-round unanimous decision over Bermane Stiverne on Jan. 17, 2015 -the birthday of legendary heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali. The champion out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama added Stiverne to his list of knockout victims in his last fight with a devastating first round destruction in their rematch at Barclays Center on November. 4.
Wilder was originally supposed to fight Ortiz that night, but Ortiz was pulled from the match after he tested positive for a banned substance. Ortiz was later cleared after the WBC determined he had failed to list medication that he was taking on his pre-testing paperwork, which triggered the positive test. He was assessed a fine and allowed to resume boxing.
Wilder, a Bronze Medal winner for the U.S. Olympic boxing team at the 2008 Beijing Games, has successfully defended the title six times. This will be his third title defense at Barclays Center. In his first defense at Barclays Center, Wilder scored a memorable ninth-round knockout over Artur Szpilka back in Jan. 2016.
“I’m looking forward to returning to Barclays Center to defend my title for a seventh time,” Wilder said. “Luis Ortiz is one of the toughest guys around and he’s supposed to be the boogeyman in the heavyweight division. But I’ve never been afraid of the boogeyman and I’ve knocked out every opponent that I’ve faced. I plan on keeping that streak going. Everyone standing in my way of becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion has to go down. It’s Luis Ortiz’s turn.”
The 38-year-old Ortiz (28-0, 24 KOs), of Camaguey, Cuba by way of Miami, Fla., will make his Barclays Center debut when he meets Wilder for his first title shot. The hard-hitting southpaw turned pro seven years ago after defecting from Cuba and has since been steadily climbing the heavyweight ladder. He cemented his standing in the division with victories over veteran contenders Bryant Jennings, Tony Thompson and Malik Scott and is the No. 1-ranked contender by the WBC. I sin siste kamp, Ortiz scored a devastating second-round knockout of Daniel Martz in Miami, Florida på Desember. 15.
If Ortiz wins, he will become the first Cuban born fighter to win a heavyweight world championship.
“This really is the best versus the best as far as the heavyweight division, and everyone who knows boxing knows that,” Ortiz said. “There’s been too much talking already. It’s time to fight. All I ask now is that the winner of this fight receives the respect from the other man, from the public, from the media and the fans that they deserve as the best heavyweight in the U.S.”
Charlo (26-0, 20 KOs) won his super welterweight title with a dominant knockout of Cornelius Bundrage in 2015 and eventually achieved the distinction of holding a world title in the same weight class (154 pounds) as his twin brother after Jermell won a title in 2016. After successfully defending his 154-pound title three times, Charlo of Richmond, Texas decided to move up to 160 pounds to win another title in a different weight class. In his debut at 160-pounds the 27-year-old scored a TKO victory over Jorge Sebastian Heiland at Barclays Center on Juli 29.
“I really love fighting in Brooklyn and at Barclays Center,” Said Charlo. “The fans in Brooklyn always show me a lot of love. Since my last fight I’ve had a chance to work on my patience and work on improvements to my game. I’ve got the same feeling that I had before I won my first world title. I want to be a champion at 160 more than I did the first time at 154. More than anything I just want to get back in the ring. Centeno is a tough fighter. He’ll be a hard test for someone who isn’t at my level. Jeg tar ikke noe bort fra ham. But he’s just another fighter that’s in my way. I don’t feel like I have anything to prove to anyone else in this fight. I’m all about proving things to myself now. In the 160-pound division you’re hearing my name more and more. It’s more than you did when I was at 154 pounds.”
The 26-year-old Centeno (26-1, 14 KOs) caught everyone’s attention when he scored a stunning knockout of Immanuwel Aleem in his last fight on August. 25. It was enough to springboard Centeno into middleweight title contention. Centeno of Oxnard, California successfully rebounded from a tough TKO loss to Maiej Sulecki on June 18, 2016 with a victory over Ronald Montes before his match against Aleem.
“I’m excited for the opportunity,” said Centeno. “I think my last outing had a lot to do with this/ It helped to put me in this position. Charlo is a great fighter with a lot of talent. I feel like we have similar statures. It’s going to be an interesting fight. I think it’s going to come down to who is the smarter fighter that night and who has more left in the tank toward the end. This is a life-changing, career-changing fight for me that could lead to bigger and better things. I’m coming to win.”

I sitt første forsvar siden dethroning Kell Brook på Showtime i mai i fjor, Spence (23-0, 20 KOs) ut bokset en tøff Peterson (35-4-1, 17 KOs) fra start til slutt, utstillingsvindu en rekke ferdigheter, fart og kraft. Kampen ble stoppet før starten av åttende runde etter Peterson-trener, Barry Hunter, kalt for stans.

 

 

 

Kampen spilles ut ligner på hvordan både jagerfly spådd, starter i en cagey taktisk affære før det omgjort til en aggressiv kamp i midten runder. To minutter inn i runde fem, Spence brukte et sviende venstre hook til å sende Peterson til lerretet (Klikk HERfor høydepunkt). The Washington, Likespenning. innfødte tilbake til sine føtter, og fortsatte å kjempe, men Spence viste seg å være for mye. Den 2012 US-. Olympian ut landet Peterson 161-45, under tilkobling på 49 prosent av hans makt slag å bare 31 prosent for Peterson.

 

 

 

Etter kampen Spence snakket med Showtime Sports reporter Jim Gray og var rask til å gi kreditt til sin motstander. “Jeg vil takke Lamont,"Han sa. “Mange av gutta slått ned kampen og han tok det som en ekte kriger, og jeg berømmer ham for det. He’s a tough fighter. He’s willing to die in there.” Click HER å se intervjuet høydepunkt.

 

 

 

Til tross for å tjene seieren i kommanderende mote, Spence mener fortsatt han har plass til å forbedre. “Jeg kan fortsatt forbedre mye på forsvar min,”Sa ubeseiret verdensmester. “Jeg må bare holde perfeksjonere mine ferdigheter og holde framdrift. Du kommer til å se en bedre Errol Spence neste gang jeg får i ringen.

 

 

 

“Alle vet at jeg har ventet på‘litt tid’Thurman,”Sa Spence, ser fremover til en mulig forening kamp med WBC og WBA weltervekt verdensmester Keith Thurman. "Siden jeg var 15-0 I’ve been calling this guy out and he keeps making excuses. La oss få det på. Han har to av beltene, og vi har begge store navn. Det er en enkel kamp for å gjøre, og jeg vil ha det.”

 

 

 

Peterson, som kjempet tappert mot yngre Spence, respektert avgjørelsen av sin trener til å stoppe kampen, “Hvis han ber meg om å kjempe en million mennesker, Jeg vil. Hvis han ber meg om å slutte. jeg skal stoppe. Jeg vil aldri spørsmålet hans avgjørelse. Jeg vet at han har mine beste interesser på hjertet.”

 

 

 

“Det var veldig vanskelig, men hvis du vet Lamont, du vet at han ikke hadde tenkt å gi opp,”Sa trener Barry Hunter. “Jeg måtte stoppe det. På slutten av dagen, dette er min sønn her. Det finnes ikke noe mer verdifullt enn hans velvære. Hvis det kommer til ham eller vinne, Jeg plukker ham. Jeg bryr meg om ham.”

 

 

Undefeated 135-pound world champion Robert påske (21-0, 14 KOs) earned a split decision victory over former world champion Javier Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 KOs) i co-hovedarrangementet av Showtime sendingen. Dommerne scoret bout 114-113, 113-114 og 115-112.

 

 

 

Back-og-tilbake bout så to dyktige krigere bo i lommen og ser til å gjøre skade fra innsiden. En andre runde punkt fradrag fra Fortuna viste seg kostbar når dominikanske ble advart og deretter straffet for å trykke påsken bak hodet. Uten ett poeng fradrag, kampen ville blitt scoret uavgjort. Mens påsken Jr. var litt travlere, Fortuna landet de mer kraftige slag. Påske Jr., som holdt en betydelig høyde fordel, ut landet Fortuna, tilkobling på 120 av 383 (31 prosent) kraft slag mens Fortuna koblet sammen i 113 av 441 (26 prosent).

 

 

 

“Det var en tøff kamp, han er en tidligere verdensmester for en grunn,”Påske fortalte Gray. “Vi har gjort det vanskelig å prøve å motvirke slag. Han var ikke kaster mye og det gjorde det vanskelig for meg å jage denne fyren rundt.

 

 

 

“Jeg kunne ikke få knockout, men vi fikk seieren, og det er alt som betyr noe. Jeg visste at han kom til å kjøre en gang han følte min makt. Han ønsket bare å fange og holde hele kampen.”

 

 

 

Ser fremover, Påske laget hans intensjoner klart som han søker forening kamper i nær fremtid, “Jeg ønsker å kjempe vinnere og forene disse belter. Kamper som dette er ikke i min game plan. Jeg er klar for Mikey Garcia og Jorge Linares å signere kontrakten.”

 

 

 

En misfornøyd Fortuna har også snakket med Grey, “Publikum vet hva som skjedde her. De buet fordi de vet at jeg vant denne kampen.

 

 

 

“Hvis han er en mann la oss kjempe igjen på 135-pounds,”Sa Fortuna, who failed to make weight on two attempts Fredag, noe som medførte at påsken i beltet ikke ville være på linje. “Jeg vil definitivt gjøre vekten. Jeg ville ikke gi meg selv nok tid til å trene.”

 

 

 

Ubeseiret lett tungvektskonkurrent Marcus Browne (21-0, 16 KOs) gjort kort prosess med Francy Ntetu (17-2, 4 KOs) i SHOWTIME Championship Boxing prelims handling, as he dropped and battered his opponent early to force referee Arthur Mercante to stop the bout at just 2:15 fra den første runden. Kjemper for sitt 12th time at the Barclays Center, den 27 år gamle Staten Island innfødte holdt sin plettfritt rekord intakt ved å utnytte sin mektige venstre hånd på overmatched Ntetu.

 

 

 

Browne etablert sin dominans fra start, landing en ren hand venstre som falt Ntetu halvveis i runden. Montreal, Québec opprinnelig var aldri i stand til å gjenvinne hans føtter og fant seg selv cornered mot tauene bare tretti sekunder senere. En kryssild av kraftige kombinasjoner landet på forsvars Ntetu forlot dommeren med lite annet valg enn å stoppe kampen med 45 sekunder igjen i rundt tall én.

 

 

 

“Vi jobbet for denne seieren. Han gikk inn i en sikker skutt og jeg gjorde ham betale,”Sa Browne. “Den overhand venstre fanget ham, og det var begynnelsen på slutten for ham. Jeg visste at han var såret.

 

 

 

“Jeg trenger en verden tittel skutt. Jeg er klar til å ta på noen av vinnere. Jeg har ikke noen preferanser. Jeg er glad jeg satt sammen en flott forestilling her på Barclays Center. Jeg kommer til å holde bedre før jeg virkelig blitt Mr. Barclays Center.”

 

 

 

kreditt, som flyttet opp mot lyset tungvekt divisjon for denne kampen, hadde en hard tid håndtere Browne kombinasjon av fart og kraft på vei til den andre tapet av sin pro karriere.

 

 

 

"[Browne] er meget eksplosiv, Gratulerer til ham,” Said Ntetu. “Han er rask, han er smart, og jeg hadde ikke forvente seg å være så eksplosiv. Han fikk meg med sin høyre hook og en rett venstre.

 

 

 

“Jeg var i nok form til å kjempe for 10 runder. Dette er ikke min vektklasse, men jeg ønsker ikke å lage unnskyldninger.”

 

 

 

I åpningen anfall av SHOWTIME MESTERSKAP BOXING prelims, ubeseiret Adam Kownacki (17-0, 14 KOs) delivered a brutal knockout of Iago Kiladze (26-2, 18 KOs) ved 2:08 of the sixth round of their heavyweight matchup.

Til tross for en blodig nese som Kownacki led i første runde, den polske tungvekt begynte å helle den på og dekk Kiladze med en rekke uppercuts og en-to kombinasjoner i fjerde runde. Den actionfylte bout kom til slutt da Kownacki koblet på en kombinasjon av to uppercuts og en høyre hånd som sendte Kiladze på ryggen i det siste minuttet av den sjette runden. Etter en lamslått Kiladze tilbake til sine føtter, Dommeren Shada Murdaugh kalt kampen på forslag fra ringside lege.

“Jeg tror jeg gjorde kampen mye vanskeligere enn jeg burde ha. Det er en annen erfaring og jeg fikk seieren. Det er alt som betyr noe."

MIKEY GARCIA vs. SERGEY LIPINETS WORLD TITLE SHOWDOWN RESCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY, MARS 10 LIVE ON SHOWTIME AT THE FREEMAN COLISEUM IN SAN ANTONIO & PRESENTED BY PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS

Unbeaten Three-Division World Champion Garcia Challenges Unbeaten Junior Welterweight World Champion Lipinets in SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Main Event
SAN ANTONIO, TX (Januar 19, 2018) – The highly anticipated showdown between undefeated three-division world champion Mikey Garcia and IBF 140-pound champion Sergey Lipinets has been rescheduled for Saturday, Mars 10th. The Premier Boxing Champions event was set to take place on 10 februar, but Garcia’s quest for a fourth world title had to be rescheduled following a training injury to Lipinets’ hånd. The fight will be live on SHOWTIME and will remain in San Antonio but move to the Freeman Coliseum.
Ticket information will be released early next week. Those holding tickets for the original date at the Alamodome will receive priority on seat exchange for the new venue. Billetter er priset til $250, $150, $75, $50 og $20 and will be available at Ticketmaster.com or by calling 210 556-6390. The event is promoted by Ringstar Sports and TGB Promotions, in association with Leija-Battah Promotions.
The remainder of the card will remain the same including the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING co-feature, which will see two-division world champion Rances Barthelemy tar på Kiryl Relikh in a rematch of their thrilling fight last May, this time for the vacant WBA 140-pound world title. The doubleheader of title bouts in the wide-open 140-pound division sets the stage for a potential unification match.
The 29-year-old Garcia (37-0, 30 KOs), emphatically returned to pound-for-pound lists in 2017 by scoring a highlight reel knockout of Dejan Zlaticanin to win the WBC Lightweight World Championship in January and then dominating four-division champion Adrien Broner on his way to a unanimous decision in July. Garcia is a member of a renowned boxing family, and is noted for his sportsmanship and his commanding presence in the ring, honed by his brother and acclaimed trainer Robert Garcia.
Garcia, of Moreno Valley by way of Oxnard, Calif., returned to the ring after a two-and-half-year layoff in July 2016 without missing a beat by stopping former champion Elio Rojas. Garcia, who has held world titles at 126, 130 og 135 pounds, has stopped 19 av hans siste 22 opponents including Roman “Rocky” Martinez, Juan Manuel Lopez and Orlando Salido.
With a win, Garcia would become only the third fighter in modern history to become champion at 126, 130, 135 and 140-pounds, joining future Hall of Famers Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao*.
The unbeaten Lipinets (13-0, 10 KOs) captured a super lightweight world title in just his 13th pro fight by defeating Akihiro Kondo via a unanimous decision on November 4 på SHOWTIME. He is originally from Kazakhstan but moved to Russia when he was six years old. He currently lives in Beverly Hills, California, Lipinets and is trained by Buddy McGirt.
The 28-year-old moved up the 140-pound rankings with victories over then unbeaten Haskell Rhodes, Levan Ghvamichava and Walter Castillo before knocking out Leonardo Zappavigna in a world title eliminator last December. Lipinets will look to stamp his place as an elite fighter when he takes on the accomplished and dangerous Garcia on March 10.
*Pacquiao won lineal championships at 126 and 140-pounds, although he did not win alphabet titles.

FLASH QUOTES:

 

 

SPENCE:

 

 

“This is a tough challenge. If you know Lamont, you know he’s a tough fight but I came to dominate the division and it started with Kell Brook. I’m going to get Lamont Peterson and then I’m going to get the other welterweights that are out there.

 

 

“It’s definitely important not just to win the fight, but how I win the fight. I came to dominate the division and I came here to look good. I’m the future of the division and I’m the future of boxing.”

 

 

PETERSON:

 

 

“I wouldn’t say that Errol isn’t the bigger guy, I just believe that it doesn’t matter. It’s all about boxing skills.

 

 

“I think we’ll both make each other look pretty good, but I’m going to win.”
