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.”

It took just 21 seconds for Sacramento’s Martinez (15-0, 11 KO) to steal the show, connecting on a solid jab with his left hand before a glancing right hand finished the job and sent Filipino Jessie Cris Rosales (22-4-1, 10 KO) down and out in a knockout of the year candidate.

ShowtimeBoxing/status/1190493848016957441
)



Martinez has now scored knockouts in seven consecutive fights, including a third-round stoppage of John Vicente Moralde in his ShoBox debutto ad aprile.



I wanted to steal the show,” said Martinez. "[Rolando Romero] did his thing and I knew I had to capitalize on that. I did it in half the time (45 secondi). Everyone did great tonight. Hitchins and Kevin [Newman] both did their thing and I had to follow.



“I’m going to get back in the gym and continue grinding. I want to be the best. I have the best team in boxing right now. As long as they keep lining them up, I’m going to keep knocking them down.”



22-year-old Brooklyn, N.Y.. native and 2016 Olympian Richardson Hitchins (10-0, 5 KO) made his television and ShoBox debut in the co-featured bout, winning a unanimous decision over Kevin Johnson (7-2, 4 KO). I giudici hanno segnato l'incontro 96-94 e 97-93 due volte.



Hitchins, who represented his parents’ home country of Haiti in the 2016 Rio Games, used his skill, speed and defense to edge the 27-year-old Johnson. Hitchins was marginally better in every category round after round, allowing him to build small but decisive leads en route to the unanimous decision. Johnson was slightly more active (52.6 a 49.8 punzoni per ogni turno) but Hitchins was more accurate and the more robust body puncher. Hitchins landed on 30 per cento dei suoi pugni di potenza, while Johnson landed just 19 cento del suo, and Hitchins connected on 46 body shots compared to 30 for Johnson.



“Johnson was a solid fighter,” said Hitchins. “I haven’t been in the ring since April, but I think I did great. It was the fight that I needed. I wanted the win and I got the unanimous decision. I don’t like to rate my performance without going back and re-watching the fight. I could have closed the gaps a little better. I should have capitalized on certain moments a little better.



I’m going to run the tape back and work with my coach so we can tighten up and come out the best I can possibly be. I’m excited to see what’s next and what my team has planned for me. They’ve guided me in a great direction and I just got to do what I got to do and that’s getting these guys out one at a time until I get that title shot.”



Johnson, who performed admirably, was gracious in defeat despite disagreeing with the judges’ scorecards.



He had a good jab,” Johnson said. “It was easy to download him. I put the pressure on him and kept listening to my corner, and moved to the right and kept landing. He’s a tough fighter. Gli darò che, he definitely came to fight. We both had moments throughout the fight. He did a good job of holding as the ref called, he knew how to hold when he was getting hurt. I think I was the better fighter. Non mi ha mai fatto male. I give him props as a fighter.



“I really want the rematch, but I doubt that will happen. I know I won. I was the better fighter at the end of the day.



In a much-anticipated rematch between two fighters with history and bad blood, Kevin Newman II (11-1-1, 6 KO) avenged the only loss of his career, dominating Marcos Hernandez (14-3-1, 3 KO) with a near shutout unanimous decision. I giudici ha segnato la lotta 80-72 e 79-73 due volte.

Newman also led 152-97 in punzoni totali sbarcati e 114-57 in power shots, while nearly matching Hernandez in punches thrown (399 a 435).



“The revenge felt so great,” said Las Vegas’ Newman, who dropped a unanimous decision to Hernandez on the undercard of Mayweather vs. McGregor in August 2017. “Overall, ho dominato. I went to the body every chance I saw an opportunity. A lot of people have never seen me box like that so it’s great to show that side of me. I was a lot more offensive and I kept the attacks to the body.



“I’d rate my performance a B-, I think I could have been busier. I’m going to continue to developing and staying busy in the ring. I don’t think he expected me to come in like I did. We gave the fans a great performance that was TV worthy and I look forward to doing it again.”



In apertura trasmissione televisiva, undefeated knockout artist Rolando Romero (10-0, 9 KO) extended his KO streak to five in a row and improved his knockout rate to 90 percent by dismantling previously once-beaten challenger Juan Carlos Cordones (14-2, 9 KO) with a first-round knockout. (Romero KO: https://twitter.com/
ShowtimeBoxing/status/1190461550190120960
)



The 24-year-old Las Vegan floored Dominican Republic’s Cordones with a combination and finished the job shortly after with a flush right to the jaw. Cordones was unable to get up off the mat, and the fight was stopped just 2:14 after it started. Looking for the knockout from the opening bell, the aggressive Romero threw twice as many punches (35-17), led nine to three in overall punches landed and connected on eight of his 18 pugni potenti.



“There’s not much to say. I promised a knockout and I saw the opportunity so I went for it,” said the exuberant Romero, who has previously stated he is the hardest puncher in the world under 147 libbre. “I made him pay for coming in overweight yesterday. Guardando avanti, I just plan on dominating whoever they put in front of me.



“I’m growing as a fighter and all I want to do is continue to put on a great performance for my fans and get to that next step in my career. I want anyone whoever wants next!"



The stars of the boxing world were out in Las Vegas, as promoter and future Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather and former and current world champions Gervonta Davis, Badou Jack, Adrien Broner, Claressa Shields, Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson were all in attendance at Sam’s Town Live.



Davis, Jack and Chris Eubank Jr. all spoke with SHOWTIME expert analyst Steve Farhood to preview their upcoming fights on the network.



“I decided to move up in weight because I have a chance to win a world title in two different weight classes,"Ha detto Davis, who faces former unified champion Yuriorkis Gamboa for the WBA lightweight title December 28 in Atlanta. “We know Gamboa is a tough opponent and we won’t sleep on him. I wanted to share the ring with somebody great. Of course Gamboa is my toughest opponent to date. I’m going to train hard for him, he’ll train hard for me and we’ll give the fans what they want to see.



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

“This has been a long time coming,"Lui ha detto. “I’m coming over here to the States to take over. This is the perfect opportunity.

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.

Middleweight Star Chris Eubank Jr. & Top Contender Matt Korobov Square Off Saturday, Dicembre 7 Live on SHOWTIME® from Barclays Center in Premier Boxing Champions Event for Interim WBA Middleweight Title

Undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo Defends Against Highly-Ranked Contender Dennis Hogan in Main Event

BROOKLYN (Ottobre 23, 2019) – Middleweight starChris Eubank Jr.e concorrente in altoMatt Korobovwill square off in the co-main event on Saturday, Dicembre 7 in diretta su Showtime da Barclays Center, la casa di Brooklyn boxe ™, in a Premier Boxing Champions event. Eubank and Korobov will meet for the Interim WBA Middleweight Title.

The middleweight division will take center stage on the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) that is headlined by undefeated WBC Middleweight World ChampionJermall Charlo difendere il suo titolo contro il contendente altamente classificatoDennis Hogan.

Eubank is coming off a career-best win over British super middleweight rival James DeGale in February on SHOWTIME and will go down to the 160-pound class to take on Korobov, a southpaw who gave Charlo a tougher than expected test as a late replacement last December at Barclays Center.

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, che è promosso da Lions Solo Promozioni e Promozioni TGB, sono in vendita e possono essere acquistati pressoticketmaster.com ebarclayscenter.com. I biglietti possono anche essere acquistati presso il Box Office American Express presso Barclays Center. Sconti di gruppo sono disponibili chiamando il 844-BKLYN-GP.

“Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Matt Korobov is a high stakes showdown that makes Saturday, Dicembre 7 a tremendous night of championship middleweight action live on SHOWTIME at Barclays Center in Brooklyn,"Ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “Chris Eubank Jr. is already a star in the U.K. and is poised to make a big splash in his U.S. debutto, while Matt Korobov is eager to build on his impressive performance in a loss to Jermall Charlo last year. Expect fireworks as Eubank and Korobov look to steal the show and walk away the title on December 7.”

This will be the first time that Eubank (28-2, 21 KO) has fought in the U.S. come un professionista. Although he has competed at super middleweight, the 29-year-old from Brighton, Sussex in the United Kingdom will meet Korobov at his more natural weight of 160 pounds for the interim title. Since losing to George Groves in 2018, the son of British legend Chris Eubank Sr. has put together two victories, including the decisive unanimous decision over former super middleweight champion DeGale in his last fight in London.

“I’m ready to take the United States and the middleweight division by storm,” said Eubank. “I’m excited to come down to 160 pounds where I naturally belong, and I don’t see anybody being able to touch me at this weight class. America is where I learned how to fight as an amateur in Las Vegas and 13 years later I’m finally going to make my U.S. professional debut. I can’t wait to show the fans in the U.S. that I’m the best middleweight in the world.”

The 36-year-old Korobov (28-2-1, 14 KO) is coming off a majority draw against Immanuwel Aleem in his last fight in May, after serving notice to the middleweight division that he would be a threat when he lost a hard-fought decision to Jermall Charlo in December. Born in Orotukan, Russia and now living in St. Petersburg, Florida, Korobov was a late replacement and gave Charlo a tougher fight than many experts expected. Korobov had been riding a four-fight win streak before the Charlo fight, having previously lost a middleweight title fight to Andy Lee in 2014.

“I am more motivated for this fight than any other so far in my career,” said Korobov. “Against Jermall Charlo, I didn’t get the decision. Nella mia mente, I won that fight at Barclays Center. Questa volta, I will leave no doubt against Eubank. This opportunity gives me a chance to right a wrong. Fans will see the best Matt Korobov on December 7.”

Undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo Defends Against Highly-Ranked Contender Dennis Hogan Live on SHOWTIME® Saturday, Dicembre 7 in Premier Boxing Champions Event from Barclays Center in Brooklyn

Biglietti in vendita ora!

BROOKLYN (Ottobre 17, 2019) – Undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo will defend his title against highly-ranked contender Dennis Hogan Sabato, Dicembre 7 in diretta su Showtime da Barclays Center, la casa di Brooklyn boxe ™, in un evento presentato da Premier Boxing Champions.

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® inizia a 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and is headlined by unbeaten middleweight star Charlo making the second defense of his 160-pound title against Hogan, a tough former world title challenger who has campaigned from super welterweight through light heavyweight.

I biglietti per il live evento, che è promosso da Lions Solo Promozioni e Promozioni TGB, are on-sale now and can be purchased atticketmaster.com e barclayscenter.comTickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Sconti di gruppo sono disponibili chiamando il 844-BKLYN-GP.

Jermall Charlo is a can’t miss attraction and one of the brightest stars in boxing,” ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “He’ll look to make the second defense of his WBC Middleweight Championship in his fourth appearance at Barclays Center on December 7. He’ll have his hands full with the hard-charging Dennis Hogan, who many believe should be a 154-pound champion and should have earned the decision over junior middleweight champion Jaime Mungia. That performance has put him right back in a position to fight for a title and there’s no doubt that him and Jermall are going to leave it all in the ring and give fans a great fight live on SHOWTIME.

Jermall Charlo is one of those rare athletes who creates a spectacle every time he steps in the ring, e dicembre 7 non sarà diverso,” said Stephen Espinoza, Presidente, Sportivo & programmazione di eventi, Showtime Networks Inc. “Jermall is the complete package – velocità, potere, athleticism and elite talentso it is no surprise that he is one of the most avoided boxers in his division. Dennis Hogan deserves credit for stepping up to a challenge which many other middleweights wouldn’t. Hogan is a tough, aggressive fighter who many believe should already be a world champion. This is an intriguing clash of styles and personalities.” 

We’re looking forward to hosting another great night of Brooklyn Boxing and to welcoming Jermall Charlo back into our ring for the fourth time,” said Keith Sheldon, EVP of Programming and Development for BSE Global. “December’s matchup against Dennis Hogan exemplifies our ongoing commitment to bringing world class fights to Barclays Center featuring the sport’s most exciting stars.

The undefeated Charlo (29-0, 21 KO) is one of the most exciting young champions in the sport. He and his twin brother, Jermell, were super welterweight champions simultaneously between 2015-17 before Jermall decided to move up to middleweight. Charlo won the IBF Junior Middleweight title with a thrilling TKO victory over Cornelius Bundrage in 2015. He made three successful defenses, including a victory over current unified champion Julian Williams, before moving up to middleweight.

The 29-year-old has proven to be just as dominant at 160 pounds as he was at 154, with three convincing performances since moving up in weight. Charlo will be making his second defense of the WBC middleweight title and fighting for the fourth time at Barclays Center. In a homecoming defense in June on SHOWTIME, he successfully defended the title against Brandon Adams with a unanimous decision in his first bout since being elevated to full champion. In his last fight at Barclays Center he shared the card with his twin brother, Jermell, and came away with a hard-fought unanimous decision over tough veteran Matt Korobov last December.

Nobody knows Dennis Hogan like I know Dennis Hogan,” Detto Charlo. “He likes to come straight forward with that ‘Mexican’ stile. I’m going to exploit that. He’s a tough fighter and he deserves a shot at the world championship because he competed well at the championship level already.

I’m going on two consecutive 12-rounders and I don’t feel good about that. I’m ready to get back to my thing, which is knocking them out and getting them out of there. This is a big fight for me because it’s my 30th fight and I’m about to turn 30.

Hogan (28-2-1, 7 KO) is coming off a razor-thin majority decision loss to Jaime Munguia in a super welterweight world championship match on April 13 in which many thought Hogan did enough to pull off the victory. The 34-year-old, who was born in Ireland and now lives in Queensland, Australia, is looking for a clear-cut victory over Charlo in his first U.S. fight since 2016. Hogan put together a six fight winning streak before the title fight against Munguia.

I am excited for the opportunity to challenge for the most prestigious belt in boxing, the WBC Middleweight world title against Jermall Charlo at Barclays Center,” said Hogan. “It doesn’t get any bigger than fighting in Brooklyn on SHOWTIME against the undefeated middleweight champion. After the disappointment I faced in April in Mexico, having been cheated out of the WBO Junior Middleweight world title that I strongly feel I earned, I am extremely grateful to have another opportunity to become a world champion.

As an Irishman, I feel right at home in New York and have no issue traveling abroad once again to achieve my dream. I have successfully competed at light heavyweight and middleweight as a professional and I will feel stronger with the extra six pounds on December 7. I’m thankful to Jermall and his team for working with my team to provide this opportunity. I will be prepared and ready to shine.

LAS VEGAS – October 16, 2019 – Super middleweight prospects Kevin “The Second Coming” Newman 10-1-1 (6 KO) e Mark Anthony Hernandez 14-2-1 (3 KO) discuss training camp, their first matchup, and the animosity between the camps leading up to their ShoBox: The Next Generation debuts on Friday, Novembre 1 diretta su Showtime a 10:30 p.m. ET/PT from Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas.

Il ShoBox four-fight telecast will see Mayweather Promotions’ undefeated super featherweight prospect Xavier Martinez (14-0, 10 KO) return for his second consecutive test on the series, this time against veteran Filipino Jessie Cris Rosales (22-3-1, 10 KO).

Tickets for the Mayweather Promotions’ Sin City Showdown start at $25 e può essere acquistato presso: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/.

After back-to-back KO performances this year, Newman returns with a vengeance to face the man who owns the only blemish on his record in a rematch with Hernandez. In 2017, with eight professional bouts on his record, Newman appeared on the Mayweather vs. McGregor undercard where he took on Hernandez, a tough rising prospect. After six rounds of what Newman calls, “the worst performance of my professional career,” judges ruled the bout a unanimous decision in favor of Hernandez. Newman took the loss in stride and bounced back with three consecutive wins and looks ahead to the rematch, while Hernandez is focused on repeating history.

Here is what the fighters had to say ahead of the November 1 rivincita:

On training camp:

Newman: “Campo di addestramento è stato andando alla grande. We’ve been working hard day in and day out, making sure we leave no stone unturned and working on a solid game plan come fight night.

“My runs and workouts have been a little longer and harder. We’re just focusing on getting better every day and pushing as hard as we can to ensure we get the W in the rematch.

“People are going to see a slightly different version of me this time around. I won’t give away any specifics, but I’m going to shock a lot of people come fight night and they will get the best Kevin Newman.

Hernandez: “Il campeggio è stato fantastico. Ho una grande squadra dietro di me. I expect him to come harder for this fight so we’re preparing for anything this time around. But we will remain smart at all times. There are things I’m taking with me this time around that I’ve learned and practiced in the gym. I’ve improved since our last fight so he better be ready.”

On what the importance of a win and the rivalry between the fighters:

Newman: “A win in this fight does a lot for my career, but it’s not just the win itself, it’s how I win that will do the most for me. Fans can expect an explosive fight. It will put me in a great place to further my career and get tougher fights, which will lead to the end goal of a title shot.

“There is definitely some animosity between us. A lot has been said, more so on his end than mine, but I just let him and his camp talk. I expect him to fight to win and I’m just going to continue to work hard like I have these past two years since the first fight. We don’t like each other, Posso dirvi che, so this fight will bring fireworks and I’m just going to let me hands do the talking and get the W.”

Hernandez: “A second win will just prove that I am the better fighter.

“I always come to win; I train to win. My family will be in attendance supporting me and I know his will too, so this will be a fight with both of us having a lot to prove.

“There’s been a lot of talk going into this rematch, but none of that affects me. I’m just working hard and I’m going to come even stronger than the first fight. None of the stuff outside the ring really matters to me. I out boxed him and outfought him in 2017, and I plan to do the same again this time around, mixed with a few other tactics.”

How does it feel to fight on national television?

Newman: “It feels great to return and fight on national television, especially getting to fight on SHOWTIME for the first time in my career. I’m very thankful to Leonard Ellerbe and Floyd Mayweather as well as SHOWTIME for giving me this opportunity. The last time I fought on national television I put on a great display of my talent and skills, so I look forward to doing the same this time around.”

“I’m very excited for this opportunity to redeem myself. I knew this day would come, Solo che non sapevo quando. I’ve won fights since the first fight and had dominant performances in the process, but nothing has filled that void. This is my opportunity to do that, so come November 1, when it’s all said and done, Io sarò vittorioso.”

Hernandez: “It’s my first time onShoBox and I’m thankful for this experience. Fans can expect a great fight. He’s a really good fighter and I won’t take anything from him. Moving up again will be a challenge, but I think I can beat him again.”

Top Super Welterweight Erickson Lubin Now Set to Take On Hard-Hitting Nathaniel Gallimore In Main Event Of Premier Boxing Champions Event On Saturday October 26, Live on SHOWTIME® from Santander Arena in Reading, Papà.

Di Più, Rising Heavyweight Sensation Efe Ajagba Added To The Televised Card Replacing Rau’shee Warren vs. Emmanuel Rodriguez

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.
