I’m staying dedicated and motivated to win on August 28 on SHOWTIME and I want to look impressive doing it in order to get even bigger and better fights in the future.”

Born in Venezuela and fighting out of Tijuana, Mexique, Uzcategui (31-4, 26 KOs) captured a 168-pound world title in March of 2018 by stopping veteran contender Andre Dirrell after eight rounds. The 30-year-old put himself in position to fight for a title with four-straight stoppage victories from 2015 par 2016, including a win over then-unbeaten Julius Jackson.

“I’m really excited to be back in the ring after being out for a while,” said Benavidez. “I feel more mature, motivated and stronger than ever. Fighting alongside my brother and in my hometown is really a dream come true. I’m really looking forward to making a tremendous comeback. It doesn’t matter who they put in front of me, I guarantee that I’m going to take them out. No one is going to want to miss this night, because me and my brother are bringing the fireworks.”

A native of boxing-rich Buenos Aires, Argentine, Torres (17-3, 5 KOs) enters this fight the winner of his last nine contests dating back to 2018. The 31-year-old will fight in the U.S. for the third time on August 28, having scored stateside victories over Cleotis Pendarvis in August 2020 and Louis Hernandez in February of this year. Torres most recently won a unanimous decision over Alexi Rivera in June as he prepares for his toughest fight to date against Benavídez.

This is a great chance for me to go to the next level against a great fighter who’s had an exceptional career. I will work very hard to get the victory on August 14 and raise high the flag of Argentina.”

The Phoenix-native added two victories in 2020, defeating Jesus Ruiz in February before stopping longtime contender Cesar Juarez in four rounds in July. Castro was coming off a 2019 campaign that saw him score three victories, including 10-round unanimous decision triumphs over former title challenger Genesis Servania and veteran contender Mario Diaz.

“I’m very grateful for this opportunity to fight an excellent opponent in Oscar Escandon,” said Castro. “I’m very motivated to put on a great performance in front of my hometown fans. Sur Août 28, I’m going to be ready to showcase all of my skills and hard work in the ring so I leave with my hand raised.”

A native of Ibague, Colombie, Escandon (26-5, 18 KOs) has faced a slew of top contenders and champions including featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr. and super bantamweight champion Brandon Figueroa, plus hard-hitting contender Tugstsogt Nyambayar. Escandon captured an interim title in 2016 when he knocked out Robinson Castellanos to earn his world title shot against Russell. Plus récemment,, Escandon scored a first-round knockout over previously unbeaten contender Jhack Tepora in December of 2019.

“I’m very focused on training for this fight because I know a win can lead me back to another world title opportunity,” said Escandon. “Castro is a good young fighter who has a solid jab and can move. But I think he’s the perfect opponent for me. There are a lot of things we can do to win this fight and I can’t wait to go in there on August 28 and show it.”

“It was a close decision because in the first few rounds I wasn’t going by the game plan and was just trying to get him out like I usually do in my fights,”A déclaré Steen, who is the half-brother of 2016 U.S.. Olympian Charles Conwell, who cheered Steen on from ringside. “It would have looked good to have the knockout, but beating him like I did was more amazing.”

Henderson narrowly edged out Steen in two of the three punch-stat categories, out-jabbing him 20% (47-236) à 18% (50-281) and earning a 2% edge in total punches, 28% à 26%.

Henderson added: “I could have cut the ring off a little bit more. I didn’t want to let him know I couldn’t use my right hand because I knew he would try and take advantage of it. My coach told me to try and fake the right hand like I was going to throw it, and then hit him with the left hand. We followed our game plan, and everything we wanted to do.”

Steen knows his future is bright and he wants to share the limelight with his brother on August 29 as Conwell is fighting on the undercard of a highly anticipated SHOWTIME PPV event in Cleveland.

“Of course I thought I won the fight,” said Bunch. “I honestly feel like I won it. Even his coach said I won the fight. I landed the more powerful shots, even boxing-wise; sticking and moving. The only thing I could do better was get a knockout. I feel like I hurt him plenty of times. I don’t know what the judges were watching.”

Figueroa Bocachica said he thought he won the fight. “I felt like he didn’t land anything that hurt me and I applied the pressure. I didn’t agree with the judges, but I’m the fighter not the judge. I could have put pressure from beginning instead of the end. I could have used the jab more. I was being lazy with my right hand because I was going to knock him out. Those are things I need to learn.”

Il ajouta: “Oh yeah, there will be controversy after this. It comes with the sport.”

The telecast opener featured a highly competitive fight in a battle of unbeatens with Martino Jules (11-0-2, 2 KOs) scoring a unanimous win over ShoBox vétéran Aram Avagyan (10-1-2, 4 KOs) in an eight-round featherweight affair.

Jules knew it was close entering the final round. “I think the knockdown really helped me secure the round,"Il a dit. “Once he got knocked down he was rushing in to try and get the back, which helped me since I could control the pace a little bit more.”

International Boxing Hall of Famer Tompkins called the action from ringside with fellow Hall of Famer Al Bernstein and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. Le producteur exécutif était Gordon Hall avec Rich Gaughan à la production et Rick Phillips à la direction.

Although I’ve been out of the ring for well over a year, I’m still in great shape and have plans to ruin Casimero’s dreams.

A southpaw from Cincinnati, Ohio, Warren won the WBA Bantamweight World Championship with a majority decision over Juan Carlos Payano in 2016 and lost the title the next year to Zhanat Zhakiyanov by split-decision. The 34-year-old became the first three-time Olympic boxer from the U.S. when he qualified for consecutive Olympic teams in 2004, 2008 et 2012.

“Vázquez is not the type of fighter that can compete with me,” said Warren. “When they sent me the name, I looked at one of his fights and 10 seconds was all I needed to see. I really want to face Rigondeaux, but I’m going to handle this and I’m going to wait until I get who I want to get. I’ve been sparring with a lot of top amateurs and that’s been keeping me sharp. They throw punches in bunches and they’re keeping me on my toes heading into August 14.”

The 24-year-old southpaw Vázquez (15-2-1, 7 KOs) was born in Thornton, Col. and now fights out of Las Vegas. The younger brother of former two-time champion Israel Vázquez, he most recently lost to super bantamweight champion Brandon Figueroa last September after having previously scored a stoppage win over Alejandro Moreno in February of 2020. Vázquez turned pro in 2013 and reeled off 14 consecutive wins to begin his career in the paid ranks.

“This is a great opportunity for me,” said Vázquez. “I turned pro at sixteen-years-old, so I took a much needed break after the Brandon Figueroa fight. Now I’m back and more ready than ever. I’m back fighting at bantamweight and that’s for sure the best weight for me going forward. I’m ready to show the world what I’m capable of. Cela va être une guerre. Warren is a world class fighter, but if he thinks this is an easy fight, then he is totally mistaken and I’ll prove it on August 14.”

Jermell Charlo

"Nous avons 10 jours à venir et je suis excité. C'est le moment le plus important de ma vie. J'aime cela. je fais ça depuis que je suis gosse. Mon expérience à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du ring a tout conduit à cela. Il est maintenant temps pour moi de tout mettre en jeu.

"Castaño va tout laisser sur le ring. Donc nous ne jouons à aucun jeu. Je me suis entraîné très dur. J'ai ajouté des choses qui m'ont rendu meilleur parce que je sais pertinemment que ça va être un grand combat.

"J'aime mon état d'origine du Texas et j'aime y combattre. Nous sommes élevés différemment. Nous sommes un État qui a mené ses propres guerres. C'est énorme. C'est un combat d'héritage pour moi et je suis prêt pour cela.

"Je sais ce que je possède sur le ring. Quand il est temps de se battre, Je deviens instantanément le meilleur guerrier qui existe.

« J'ai souffert toute ma vie, donc il n'y a rien dans ce monde qui puisse me faire souffrir plus que ce que j'ai vécu en grandissant. Castaño est un grand combattant qui met beaucoup de pression. Mais je connais mes capacités et je connais mon pouvoir. Chaque coup que je lance est dominant et chaque coup que je lance est douloureux pour mon adversaire. J'ai beaucoup de capacités uniques en moi et je vais apporter quelques astuces dans ce combat.

"Je n'ai pas encore frappé Castaño donc je ne sais pas ce que son menton fera quand je le frapperai. Je sais qu'il a un grand coeur. Je vais juste faire ce que je fais, c'est ce que tout le monde sait que je fais. Tout le monde voit ce que je peux faire à chaque fois que je monte sur le ring.

"Je me sens vraiment bien au camp d'entraînement. Mieux que je ne l'ai jamais ressenti. Je suis dans la fleur de l'âge en ce moment et je me sens plus fort combat après combat. J'ai développé chaque camp.

"J'ai des ceintures sur des ceintures et il a une ceinture. Je suis prêt à prendre cette sangle aussi. J'ai fait attention à ce qu'il faisait. Je ne suis pas resté assis depuis que j'ai combattu Jeison Rosario. J'ai travaillé.

"Pour le moment, je ne suis pas inquiet de ce qui se passe après ce combat. Je ne peux que me concentrer sur ce qui est devant moi. Je suis visionné en tunnel en ce moment. C'est ce que je veux et je ne vois rien en dehors de la victoire en juillet 17.

"Vous allez voir un Jermell Charlo plus développé en juillet 17. Je vous garantis que vous allez voir un meilleur combattant livre pour livre. A tout moment, ce combat pourrait être terminé avec.

"C'est un combat majeur parce que c'est de l'histoire pour moi et ma famille. C'est énorme pour tout le monde que je représente et qui me soutient depuis toutes ces années. Il était temps d'y entrer pour ce combat. Les ceintures et l'argent ne sont pas dans mon esprit. Ce que j'ai en tête, c'est l'héritage.

"Peu de gens ont ces opportunités. Ce combat va solidifier beaucoup de choses différentes dans l’esprit des gens à propos des Charlos. »

BRIAN CASTAÑO

"C'est mon opportunité. C'est le combat de ma vie. Je suis champion du monde et Charlo est champion du monde. La chance de devenir incontesté est juste 10 jours et je ne peux pas attendre. Ce est mon temps. Ce combat est si important pour ma vie. J'espère devenir incontesté en juillet 17 pour mon pays et pour mes supporters latins.

"C'est l'un des combats les plus importants de l'histoire de l'Argentine. C'est pour quatre ceintures, incontesté à 154 livres. C'est une belle opportunité pour mon équipe, mon manager, ma famille et surtout, pour moi. Ce sera le combat le plus dur de ma carrière.

"Charlo est un grand combattant, Il n'y a aucun doute là-dessus. Mais je suis venu ici pour faire mon travail et je vais m'avancer. Je suis le genre de combattant qui te poursuit toujours. Je suis toujours là pour te mettre la pression. Même si Charlo a dit que je n'ai rien qu'il n'ait pas vu avant, il n'a jamais vu personne avec mon style de combat.

"J'ai vu Charlo abattre beaucoup de combattants avec un seul coup de poing. C'est quelque chose à surveiller. Cependant, J'ai plus de variété dans mon arsenal que n'importe qui avec qui il a combattu auparavant. Si je dois être plus agressif et opter pour plus de puissance au lieu de finesse, soyez assuré que je peux l'assommer aussi.

« La rouille des bagues ne sera pas du tout un problème. Je m'entraine tous les jours. Je m'entraîne trois fois par semaine. Je me suis entraîné deux fois par jour ces derniers temps. Je suis en rythme et en forme. je viens pour les quatre ceintures.

"En juillet 17, Je peux garantir que je mettrai mon âme à nu, Je laisserai mon cœur dans le ring et ferai tout ce qui est en mon pouvoir pour devenir l'incontesté, champion du monde unifié.

"Je pense que Charlo est aussi dans la fleur de l'âge. C'est pourquoi j'ai cherché ce combat. C'est le combat que je cherchais parce que nous sommes tous les deux dans le meilleur moment de notre carrière, et je veux en profiter.

"Je suis pour la gloire. Je veux être le premier de l'histoire à être champion incontesté à 154 livres à l'ère des quatre ceintures et être également l'un des meilleurs boxeurs argentins et latino-américains qui aient jamais vécu. je vais pour tout. Je vais tout laisser tomber samedi soir et il n'y a aucune raison pour que je ne puisse pas être à la fois l'un des meilleurs combattants livre pour livre et aussi l'un des meilleurs boxeurs argentins de tous les temps..

"Si je gagne, la gloire serait égale à un titre potentiel de la Coupe du monde d'Argentine l'année prochaine. Cependant, le football est différent parce que vous avez 10 d'autres personnes sur qui vous pouvez compter. Messi a 10 coéquipiers à qui il peut passer le ballon quand les choses se corsent, mais quand je suis sur le ring je suis tout seul. La boxe est plus un défi individuel. Quand je suis contre les cordes, Je dois m'en sortir tout seul. La gloire et l'excitation d'une victoire seraient les mêmes qu'une Coupe du monde en Argentine pour mon pays.

"Cette opportunité d'entrer dans l'histoire de mon pays et du peuple latino-américain suscite en moi des émotions très fortes. Je ne veux pas laisser tomber mon peuple latino-américain du monde entier. J'en ressens une immense fierté et je suis à la hauteur du défi.

« Je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de rencontrer Manu Ginobili, mais c'est une icône du sport argentin. Il est l'un des meilleurs de tous les temps et ce qu'il représente est emblématique à la fois en tant qu'athlète et en tant que personne.. Il a à la fois mon admiration et mon respect.

« Je suis conscient que les gens peuvent ne pas me connaître, mais je suis ici pour créer mon propre chemin et ouvrir ma propre voie. Je sais que je ne me suis pas beaucoup battu ces derniers temps et c'est peut-être une des raisons pour lesquelles les gens ne me connaissent pas, mais j'ai refusé des combats contre des adversaires qui n'étaient pas du calibre que je voulais affronter. Mon objectif a toujours été d'affronter les meilleurs des meilleurs et l'élite de ma division. J'ai cette chance maintenant et je vais prouver pourquoi je mérite cette chance et pourquoi je mérite d'être suivie.

CARSON, CALIFORNIE. (Juillet 4, 2021) - Étoile montante Invaincu Chris «Primetime» Colbert cruised to a unanimous decision victory over Tugststogt Nyambayar Saturday night to retain his Interim WBA Super Featherweight title in the main event of action live on SHOWTIME from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Californie. dans un événement Premier Boxing Champions.

The 24-year-old Colbert (16-0, 6 KOs) rode a dominant jab to victory as he landed 112 across the 12 rounds according to CompuBox, buoying a 218 à 78 avantage dans les coups reçus. The Brooklyn-native used the jab to set up a variety of effective power punches that he was able to land from orthodox and southpaw stances.

“We had a tremendous training camp,»A déclaré Colbert. “We sparred a lot with a bigger guy in Michel Rivera, so I had a lot of practice using my speed and jab in camp. The jab is always a key in this sport.”

Mongolia’s Nyambayar (12-2, 9 KOs), who now fights out of Los Angeles, stepped in to fight Colbert on less than two weeks’ notice, replacing former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa after he suffered a training camp injury. Nyambayar had successful moments in his 130-pound debut, with Colbert even noting the Olympic silver medalist’s power, but he was unable to keep up a sustained attack or keep the busier Colbert from controlling the tempo.

“He carried power for a 126-pounder,»A déclaré Colbert. “Boxing is about hitting and not getting hit. I had to use my Muhammad Ali tactics and float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. This was a great fight and ‘Tug’ did a great job coming in off only a week and a half of training for me. I take off my hat to him and wish him nothing but the best in his career.”
Colbert’s post-fight interview: https://twitter.com/ShowtimeBoxing/status/1411543856345145345

Colbert rode his versatile offensive arsenal to a big advantage on the scorecards and statistically, dominating Nyambayar in punches landed as he connected on 106 power punches to 78 total punches landed by Nyambayar. Après 12 tours, the judges’ scores confirmed Colbert’s dominance, as he won the decision with scores of 117-111 et 118-110 deux fois.

“I’m number one in the WBA,»A déclaré Colbert. “So you know what time it is. I’m going to follow the plan and see what happens next.”

En cas de co-principal, rising lightweight contender Michel Rivera (21-0, 14 KOs) scored a highlight-reel knockout over Jon Fernandez (21-2, 18 KOs) in the eighth round of their WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator.

“I’m so excited and beyond happy to get this win,», A déclaré Rivera. “Fernández was a strong, experienced opponent that forced me to change the game plan I had going in.”

An unbeaten Dominican fighter who now trains in Miami, Rivera seemed to take control of the action in round four, as he began to find a home for the straight right hand that would eventually end the fight. The tables turned momentarily in round six however, as Fernandez connected with a clean right hand to the head that put Rivera on the canvas for the first time in his career.

“I knew since the first round that I would have to be careful with him,», A déclaré Rivera. “He had heavy hands and was taller than me, but I was faster and more skilled overall.”

The 23-year-old was able to weather the storm brought by the Spaniard Fernandez and made it through the round despite the knockdown. After regaining his momentum in the seventh round, Rivera broke through with a decisive right hand that crumpled Fernandez early in the eighth, prompting referee Jack Reiss to wave off the bout 44 seconds in the frame. Rivera held an 87 à 76 avantage dans les coups reçus, and connected on 37% de ses coups de puissance, par rapport à 27% from Fernandez.

“I want the fight with Rolando Romero next,», A déclaré Rivera. “Once I do face him, I would like to go up against Gervonta Davis or Teofimo López.”

Before the night of fights, SHOWTIME host Brian Custer interviewed Bellator MMA No. 1-ranked Featherweight contender A.J. McKee, who will face current champion Patricio Pitbull in the Bellator MMA Featherweight World Grand Prix final on July 31 au Forum de Los Angeles.
McKee interview: https://twitter.com/SHOsports/status/1411527740646465537

“I am going to go out there and dig into my bag of tricks and I am going to shock the world,” McKee said. “He’s done a lot for the sport and he has been my target for a long time, ever since I started to come up. I’ve been calling his name for 17 fights and it is time now to get it on.”

Asked if this fight was for the No. 1 spot on the Bellator pound-for-pound list, McKee said: "Absolument. Hands down. This fight is for the pound-for-pound best, Je ressens, dans le monde. À 145 livres, there’s not too many guys that can stop myself or Pitbull.”

McKee added: “This is not going the distance. Stylistiquement, it’s a bad match up for him. Nothing personal but my style is not a good match up for him…. I have to stay long, keep positioning and my feet. Distance is a big part of this fight. And catching him on the angle.”

Kalvin is a come-straight-forward fighter and he punches hard. I was supposed to fight him before, so this fight has been brewing for a while.”

“This is whatShoBox is known for: matching up fighters for great fights,”A déclaré Bocachica. “Shinard Bunch is a step up in competition. He is from the same gym as Mark Reyes, and you saw what I did to him, En Juillet 23, it will be much of the same. Fighting on SHOWTIME has helped with my profile. When I went to Puerto Rico, people knew who I was because of my previous experience onShoBox. Being on the platform has brought me many new fans.”

Bunch is a Queens, N.Y.-native living and training in Trenton, N.J. Seulement 21 ans, Bunch has been active with five fights in 2020 and five fights thus far in 2021.

Currently riding a 13-fight winning streak, Bunch’s only pro loss came in 2019 in just his third fight, a unanimous loss to Paul Kroll. Bunch is managed by Russell Peltz.

“We are coming to work and make a statement,” Bunch said. “I really do not know too much about my opponent. I know he is a pressure fighter. I am not taking this fight lightly. This is a big fight, and we are going to box smart. This is a blessing to have an opportunity like this. Fighting onShoBoxis something that I have always dreamed of.”

Martino Jules vs. Aram Avagyan – 8-round Featherweight Bout

The 23-year-old southpaw Jules from Allentown, Pa., is coming off his best victory to date in an ESPN bubble fight last July, earning a majority-decision win over Aleem Jumakhonov. Jules is a 2015 Olympic Trials qualifier and had a 60-15 amateur record since turning pro in 2016 and slowly climbing up the featherweight rankings. Jules was scheduled to make hisShoBox débuts en Janvier, but his opponent fell ill the morning of his fight and the fight was called off.

“I am grateful for getting this fight,” said Jules, who is promoted by Kings Promotions and managed by Trifon Petrov. “This is something I have been waiting for a year now. I was supposed to fight onShoBox avant, but the fight fell out. I have been staying ready. Mon adversaire est coriace, and he comes ready to fight. He has a lot of merit to him, and that is pushing me to be better and I am excited to fight someone that will make me perform at my best.”

Fighting under the Salita Promotions banner, the 30-year-old Avagyan returns toShoBox for the third time facing his fourth consecutive unbeaten fighter. En Janvier, Avagyan and Panama’s Jose Nunez fought to a majority draw. Avagyan survived two early knockdowns in his debut against then-unbeaten Dagoberto Aguero to earn a majority decision in the lastShoBox telecast before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the sports world for several months in Mars 2020.

Born and raised in Yerevan, Arménie, and now residing in California, Avagyan is a decorated amateur with more than 300 combats. He captured two Bronze Medals at the European Championships and represented Armenia at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

“I’m always hungry and want to fight and the fact that it will be on the 20-year anniversary of ShoBox is doubly motivating to put on a great show,» A déclaré Avagyan. “I’m gradually gaining shape and I have another month to show my best side to all boxing fans. I promise that I’m going to war on July 23. Don’t miss this event and the war of the warrior!"

“Me and Michel Rivera got a lot of rounds in together during training down in Miami. We did a great job all camp and I’m just ready and excited to get in the ring.

“I’ve been knocking out everyone they put in front me. They still don’t give me the respect I deserve yet. I just have to keep doing my thing on Saturday night and embarrass him.

“I can’t tell you if he’s my toughest opponent yet. I know that he’s not beating me, and that’s a promise. There’s no way a 126-pounder will come up in weight and beat me.

“He’s a fighter with only one loss, he can come back from that. But it’s not going to matter on Saturday night. He’s supposed to be confident in himself. He can’t say he’s going to get washed Saturday, but that’s what is going to happen.

“I appreciate ‘Tug’ for taking the fight, but Saturday night I’m going to get in there, dominate and beat him up. This is a Nissan vs. a Lamborghini, and I’m the Lambo.

“I agree that ‘King Tug’ might be better opposition than Yuriorkis Gamboa would have been. But it doesn’t matter if it was Gamboa, ‘King Tug’, or Arnold Schwarzenegger in there with me, it was always going to be the same outcome on Saturday night.

“My hair is orange this week as a dedication to the cause of fighting Multiple sclerosis. One of my friends, Dave, back in New Jersey has it and he told me his story of how he was paralyzed as a kid and also had MS. Then I saw him on the Stairmaster in the gym the next day for like an hour. I saw that and realized there’s no excuses I can make for not being in the gym. I do the different hair colors to make people feel special. I want them to know that I’m fighting for them.

“Nobody in the 130-pound division can beat me. I’m going to continue to prove that every time I step into the ring. I’m going to deliver a dominating performance. Don’t be surprised when I stop him.

“I don’t think this is going past 10 tours. I’m going to keep proving that I have power on Saturday night. I’m not discrediting his skills, but I’m just different.”

Tugstsogt Nyambayar

“I’m really excited for this fight. It’s my first fight at 130 pounds and I want to show what I can do. I’m ready for this opportunity.

“Just know this, we are here to win. My team is here to win. I’m ready for Chris Colbert. C'est tout.

“I don’t care that I’m fighting on short notice at a higher weight. I believe in myself. I can fight at 122, I can fight at 126 and I can fight at 130.

“Two weeks’ notice is enough for me. If I didn’t take the fight, Colbert wouldn’t have a fight. So he should be thankful. Let’s see what happens. I’m going to whoop his ass.

“I believe in my speed and I believe in my power. I believe in myself. I just want to test myself. This is a good opportunity versus a good fighter.”

“I don’t think that he can stop me. Watch me on Saturday night. Je suis prêt.

“I’m not worried about anything he says. I’m just focused on the sight. I really believe in myself and that I’m going to hurt him on Saturday night.

“Colbert has similar speed compared to Gary Russell Jr., so it’s not going to be anything I haven’t seen before. The adjustments from the Russell fight have been made in the gym over time.

“I’m very happy to be fighting at Dignity Health Sports Park because Los Angeles is my second home. It’s very exciting to be fighting here and with a crowd there watching. The Mongolian fans are going to show up on Saturday.”

MICHEL RIVERA

“I had a good camp and I have a good team, led by Herman Caicedo who is my coach along with Jukka Toivola. I know that this is a good opportunity and I worked so hard for this fight. I’m so excited for July 3 and I know that this is my chance to show I’m great and to shine.

“Jon Fernandez is a good boxer and he’s a good puncher. I don’t know much about him, but I know that he’s Spanish and he’s a tall guy. He hits hard but I’m in the type of condition to be great in this fight.

“I’m sure that on July 3 when people are watching the fight, they will see who the best boxer is. I’m ready for everything. If he wants to fight instead of box, I will fight too. I have the skills. I believe that I am faster than him. I don’t have problems with his height. You can see in my past fights where I was fighting at 144, and I looked good with big boxers too. I don’t have a problem with it. Everybody will have to tune in July 3 sur Showtime, and they will see Michel Rivera beating Jon Fernandez.

“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. I’m Dominican, and in the Dominican Republic you don’t get much opportunity. I came here and I am making my name. Everybody will know that I’m ready to fight the top names at 135 – the best boxers. I have the skills and the talent. I’m young and I’m pretty, trop.

“It’s good that he sounds confident. I am confident too. That makes for a great war. He has a lot of knockouts, but they weren’t against any boxers like me. I’m focused. Comme je le disais, il est un bon boxeur, mais je vais mieux. I’m trusting my talent and I’m trusting my condition.

“My perspective remains the same after this press conference. Fernandez is a proud fighter and I expect nothing less than what he said. I’m also a proud fighter and I’m convinced that I’m better than him. I consider myself better prepared and ready to be considered one of the top boxers in the 135-pound division.

“Training with Chris Colbert was a great experience, and the sparring sessions were awesome. He made me better, just like I made him better. He’s a great person. My fellow Dominican fighter Jeison Rosario wished me luck and told me he knows I’m going to be a world champion someday, and that he will be supporting me and watching the fight from the Dominican Republic.

“Of course I believe that I am the next world champion from the Dominican Republic. I can beat all of the top boxers, the top five, in the 135-pound division. I want to make my name at 135 because I know this is a strong division now. I want everybody to know me at this weight.

“I promise a good fight. Everybody will see the next superstar in the ring on July 3.”

JON FERNANDEZ

“I’m very excited to be here for this fight. Training camp in Madrid and Mexico have been great. We’ve had an outstanding preparation. I’m facing a great opponent in Michel Rivera, but this is the door I need to open to be in the big leagues of boxing. I don’t plan on missing out on this chance.

“I’m glad he’s confident in his abilities, but I think this is a 50-50 rencontre. It’s going to be a great fight and we’re definitely on the same level. There’s no difference in skill levels. I’m going to use my height and show off my boxing ability on Saturday night.

“Rivera is a very good boxer, and has many skills, but I believe that I have equal skills and more power. If I get the opening, I can knock Rivera out.

“I promise that we’re going to put on a great show and deliver fireworks in the ring. My hand will be raised when the fight is over.

“There’s nothing like fighting in Los Angeles. I have already been here before, but nothing can compare to being in the big show.

“Everyone in Spain is supporting me. My city of Bilbao has sent me all its love and they believe in me 100%. Even some famous soccer players have reached out to me. Players from Athletic Bilbao and (former Spain national team striker) Fernando Torres.

“I would like to win in order to open the door for other Spaniard boxers who come behind me and relish this opportunity – like my brother Eker, who is about to make his professional debut. I want to make him proud and put Spain on the map as far as boxing is concerned.

"Si je gagne, it’s not just because of my power. It’s going to be a close fight, but I’m going to give everything I have to come out with the victory.”

ATLANTA (Juin 27, 2021) – Gervonta « Réservoir » Davis, l'une des plus grandes stars de toute la boxe, a présenté une performance déterminante pour sa carrière samedi soir en direct sur SHOWTIME PPV depuis la State Farm Arena primée d'Atlanta, marquant un scintillant 11e rond TKO sur le précédemment invaincu Mario Barrios pour capturer le championnat WBA Super Lightweight dans l'événement plein d'action Premier Boxing Champions. Regardez l'arrêt ICI.

"J'ai rendu les choses difficiles. J'aurais certainement pu rendre les choses plus faciles, mais j'ai augmenté de deux catégories de poids et j'ai fait le travail," a déclaré le natif de Baltimore de 26 ans, qui était en tête d'affiche de son deuxième SHOWTIME PPV. "Je l'ai frappé avec des coups nets, mais je suis le genre de combattant qui veut t'attraper avec des coups nets. Je ne veux pas simplement lancer n'importe quel type de tir. Les coups que je lançais manquaient, mais finalement je l'ai rattrapé.

Dans un combat à la hauteur de son potentiel, Davis (25-0, 24 KOs) et quartiers (26-1, 17 KOs) combinés pour organiser un événement principal inoubliable devant une foule de 16,570. Après une ouverture lente quatre tours dans lesquels Davis a atterri juste 11 poinçons, le combat a produit des feux d'artifice à partir du cinquième round. Au huitième tour, "Tank" a envoyé "El Azteca" sur la toile pour la première et la deuxième fois de sa carrière. Première, Davis s'est connecté sur un crochet droit qui a envoyé l'ancien champion sur la toile. Quelques instants plus tard, une main gauche droite de Davis a de nouveau laissé tomber Barrios. Le brave Barrios s'est levé, survivre aux tentatives de Davis de le terminer au huitième.

Avec l'International Boxing Hall of Famer et promoteur Floyd Mayweather encourageant Davis dans son coin, le gaucher est sorti rajeuni au onzième round, réalisant que le combat pourrait être serré sur les tableaux de bord. "Tank" a laissé tomber Barrios pour la troisième fois dans le combat, cette fois avec un uppercut gauche au corps. Les Barrios ensanglantés se levèrent à nouveau, seulement pour être accueilli par un autre barrage de coups de poing de Davis. L'arbitre Thomas Taylor est intervenu pour arrêter le combat à 2:13 du onzième tour.

"Je savais avec certitude si je l'attrapais, je craque," Davis a déclaré à Jim Gray de SHOWTIME. «Alors je l'ai attrapé, et il a montré. Mon entraîneur me disait d'aller dans un style jab mais je suis un gaucher donc ils savent que je vais de ce côté jab. Alors j'essaierais de l'appâter. J'ai fait semblant d'aller à gauche, et j'ai jeté ma droite. Et mon crochet par-dessus, et c'est là que je l'ai attrapé.

Dans les six derniers tours et demi, Davis a atterri 85 poinçons. Il a débarqué 45 pour cent de ses coups de puissance (82/182), tandis que Barrios a plus que tenu le coup, devance Davis dans six des dix manches terminées.

"Je savais qu'il était blessé. Je devais juste l'attraper au bon moment,” Davis a poursuivi. "Floyd [Mayweather] est venu me voir et a été honnête et a dit que j'étais en bas,” a poursuivi Davis, qui était en fait en tête sur les tableaux de bord des trois juges au moment de l'arrêt. "Alors il a dit 'Montre-moi que tu es génial.' Et tu sais comment on fait dans la niche, bébé!"

Avec la victoire, Davis détient désormais des championnats du monde dans trois divisions différentes simultanément, un exploit accompli seulement par quelques autres combattants de l'histoire, dont Henry Armstrong et Canelo Alvarez.

"Il a le potentiel d'être l'un des plus grands de tous les temps,», A déclaré Mayweather. "Quand j'ai rencontré 'Tank' quand il était 14 ou 15 ans, Je lui ai dit que je ferais de lui un champion du monde. Et que tu seras l'un des meilleurs un jour. Je suis fier de lui."

"Je n'ai jamais été un haineux. Félicitations à "Tank",»A déclaré Barrios. "Il est venu ici et a fait son truc. Ce n'était rien de moins qu'un combat passionnant et c'est exactement ce que nous avions prédit tous les deux. Il était le meilleur homme ce soir, mais je reviendrai certainement.

"'Tank' est explosif. Il m'a surpris en train de glisser et c'est la boxe. A la fin de la journée,, un coup de poing peut changer le combat. C'est exactement ce que j'ai ressenti. Félicitations à lui."

Dans un événement co-principal aller-retour, Orlando de Erickson "Hammer" Lubin (23-1, 17 KOs) a surmonté une certaine adversité pour remporter la victoire la plus importante de sa carrière sur l'ancien champion du monde unifié Jeison Rosario (20-3-1, 14 KOs). Le WBC Non. 1-concurrent classé à 154 livres, Lubin a marqué un KO au sixième tour (1:42) dans le WBC Super Welterweight Title Eliminator. Suivre ICI.

"J'ai juste suivi le plan de match,” a déclaré Lubin, 25 ans, qui s'améliore 6-0 depuis qu'il a subi la seule perte de sa carrière contre le pivot de 154 livres Jermell Charlo. "Je retournais juste dans mon coin après chaque tour et Coach [Kevin] Cunningham et mon équipe diraient simplement, 'Tenez-vous au jab. Restez cohérent avec votre jab.’ Je suis bien plus rapide que lui et je savais qu'il avait une bonne puissance et il essayait de me contrer. Donc je le ferais disparaître et j'utiliserais mon jab de manière cohérente.

Au troisième tour, Lubin a failli mettre fin prématurément à l'action avec un énorme cadre qui avait Rosario sur le pied arrière. Dans les derniers instants de la manche, Lubin a décroché un crochet droit qui a fait vaciller Rosario dans son coin après que la cloche a sonné. Miraculeusement, au prochain tour, Rosario a pu récupérer et a complètement renversé la situation, vacillant Lubin avec un coup du gauche.

L'action s'est encore accrue au sixième tour. Lubin, sentant que Rosario était sensible à l'attaque corporelle, a décroché une combinaison de corps gauche-droite vicieuse qui a envoyé Rosario à genoux dans ce qui s'est finalement avéré être le tournant du combat. Chapelet, clairement blessé, n'a jamais pu récupérer et Lubin l'a achevé quelques instants plus tard contre les cordes.

"J'ai commencé à lui faire mal au corps dès le début du premier round," les 2016 "Prospect de l'année" a déclaré Lubin. "J'ai commencé par le corps et je l'ai vu grogner. Donc j'ai pu le blesser au corps. Je voulais juste le distraire avec le jab, puis descends. Et j'ai pu le faire sortir. Je savais même s'il se levait après le renversement que le combat était fini. Je sais que je suis un excellent finisseur et je savais que j'allais le sortir de là dès que je l'aurais vu tomber.

Lubin a atterri 44 pour cent de ses coups de puissance (80/288) et 20 de ses coups de poing étaient au corps. Avec la victoire, Lubin se met carrément dans l'image pour une deuxième opportunité de titre mondial.

"Je veux une chance au titre mondial ensuite,"Il a dit. "Je veux que tout le monde à 154 livres. je suis non. 1 dans le WBC mais j'ai choisi de combattre Rosario. Je n'esquive personne. Je tiens à dire que j'ai combattu tout le monde dans ma division lorsque j'ai remporté le titre mondial.

"À l'heure actuelle, je me sens si mal,”A déclaré Rosario. "Il n'y a pas encore de leçon à tirer, tout est encore si cru. j'ai encore perdu, et c'est tellement frustrant. J'étais convaincu que j'allais gagner. Le combat a commencé à tourner au deuxième tour. J'essayais juste de suivre et d'écouter mon coin. Lubin est un grand combattant. Il méritait de gagner. J'espère qu'il appréciera sa victoire.

Sur la plus grande scène de sa carrière, République dominicaine Carlos Adamès (20-1, 16 KOs) rose à l'occasion, marquant un KO au troisième tour au cours de la séquence Alexis Salazar (23-4, 9 KOs) dans le deuxième combat du pay-per-view. Le moment de l'arrêt était 2:59 de la troisième ronde. Regarder le KO ICI.

Au troisième tour mouvementé et décisif, l'arbitre Jim Korb a déduit deux points d'Adames pour tenue excessive. Cependant, Adames s'est assuré que la déduction de points n'aurait aucun impact sur le résultat du combat. Il a laissé tomber Salazar avec un crochet gauche en plomb au ras du menton, un coup de poing que Salazar n'a jamais vu venir. Le Mexicain de 25 ans a pu se remettre sur pied, mais Korb a appelé à l'arrêt quand il était évident qu'un Salazar hébété était incapable de continuer.

"J'ai contrôlé tout le combat, et c'est ce qui l'a réduit à se retourner parfois,” a déclaré Adames, 27 ans. "Je travaillais avec le jab sur le corps au début, donc ça fonctionnait, et puis je suis venu avec le crochet du gauche. J'ai fait mon travail et suivi ma stratégie de A à Z et j'ai pu réussir comme je le voulais.

"Le moment clé du combat a été quand j'ai réussi à perturber sa concentration. Une fois que j'ai pu le faire, c'était facile pour moi.

“Je me sentais bien là-dedans et je pensais que je gagnais des manches," dit Salazar, dont la séquence de 15 victoires consécutives a pris fin avec un coup de poing. "Mais il a commencé à m'attraper et c'est là qu'il m'a eu avec un uppercut. Cela a fait basculer le combat. Je dois juste retourner au travail et continuer à chercher d'autres opportunités.

Dans le combat d'ouverture de la télédiffusion SHOWTIME PPV, le percutant Batyr Akhmedov (9-1, 8 KOs) a marqué une victoire TKO sur l'ancien champion du monde Argenis Mendez (25-7-3, 12 KOs) dans un éliminateur de titres WBA Super Lightweight en 12 rounds. Mendez a subi une blessure à la main droite et n'a pas quitté son tabouret pour sortir pour le neuvième tour. L'heure officielle de l'arrêt était 3:00 du nombre de huit rondes.

"Le combat s'est déroulé comme prévu,dit Akhmedov, qui a surmonté la première coupure de sa carrière sur son œil gauche après un choc accidentel à la tête au deuxième tour. « Nous nous attendions à un combat difficile comme celui-là. J'ai été hors du ring pendant longtemps, donc j'avais besoin d'obtenir ces tours. Mon plan est de me battre pour le titre mondial ensuite. Nous savions qu'il serait mal à l'aise de se battre et délicat. Il me donnait des coups de tête et des coups de coude. C'était une bonne expérience pour moi.

Dans la bataille des Olympiens, c'est Akhmedov qui a pressé l'action et était beaucoup plus occupé dès le début. Il est allé au corps tôt et souvent, atterrissage 57 coups de poing, portant Mendez au fur et à mesure que les rounds passaient. Akhmedov, 30 ans, a atterri 115 du 306 coups de poing puissants qu'il a lancés, tandis que Mendez, 34 ans, a atterri 84 de son 223 coups de puissance, y compris juste 13 le corps se connecte. Au moment de l'arrêt, Akhmedov était en tête sur les tableaux de bord des trois juges.

“Mendez est un dur à cuire qui combat les meilleurs combattants,» a poursuivi Akhmedov. «Nous savions que ce ne serait pas une promenade dans le parc. Quand je l'ai blessé, mon coin me disait de ralentir et de prendre mon temps avant d'aller au KO.

"J'ai commencé à ressentir (blessée) aux deuxième et troisième tours,» a déclaré un Mendez déçu. "Mes articulations étaient cassées et je ne pouvais plus donner de coup de poing après l'avoir coupé avec ma main droite au premier tour. J'ai essayé de continuer à me battre à partir du quatrième round, mais en vain. C'était inutile."

Avec la victoire, Akhmedov se maintient dans la course pour les meilleurs combats dans la division profonde des 140 livres. Mendez tombe à 2-4-2 dans les huit derniers combats.
