Mashantucket, קונטיקט. (אפריל. 17, 2016) – WBC Featherweight World Champion גארי ראסל ג'וניור. retained his title with a remarkable TKO of Irishman פטריק Hyland יום שבתon SHOWTIME from Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, קונטיקט. בשיתוף התכונה, ז'וזה Pedraza defended his IBF Junior Lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Stephen Smith.

 

הלילה של event was a family affair with Russell Jr. working his brother Antonio’s corner during הערב של undercard and boxing’s Smith brothers, including current WBO Super Welterweight World Champion Liam Smith, cheering from the crowd.

 

A relentless Russell brought the main event to a quick halt by registering three knockdowns in the second round, the last of which forced referee Danny Schiavone to end the contest at 1:33. מהפעמון הראשון, וושינגטון, D.C. native came out swinging with his trademark hand speed and dangerous power. ראסל, אִטֵר, successfully broke down—and knocked out—Hyland with multiple vicious right hooks.

 

“We stuck to the game plan. We stayed sharp,” said Russell Jr., שמשפר את השיא ל 27 נצחונות, one loss, 15 knockouts.

 

“I’m ready to fight anyone in the division – Santa Cruz, לי סלבי. We are ready. But what I really want is [אסיל] ומצ'נקו. I don’t care if he moves up to 147 קילו. I will go anywhere to get that fight,” Russell said.

 

“There aren’t many fighters who you instantly know are special,” said SHOWTIME Sports expert analyst Steve Farhood. “The combination of Gary Russell’s hand speed and accuracy instantly shows us that he’s special. That was plainly evident הלילה and at times his hand speed was frightening.”

 

Pedraza (22-0, 12 קוס) remained disciplined and came out victorious during his second IBF 130-pound world title defense. A combination of timing, hand speed and good defense allowed the Puerto Rican native to dominate the 12-round championship fight.

 

“This definitely was a tough fight but the training really came to advantage in this fight,” Pedraza told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray. “I knew he was a tough fighter so I was always aware.”

 

“I had better focus הלילה. I had a better training camp,” said Pedraza, referring to his controversial split decision win over Edner Cherry two fights ago. “I knew that Stephen Smith was a great fighter and even after the knockdown, we were very cautious not to rush in.”

 

“Pedraza won הלילה with different weapons. Mostly right hands to the head,"אמר הפרהוד. “I had the fight even after eight rounds and once Pedraza dropped Smith in the ninth, he gained momentum that he never lost and he pulled away. It was an impressive performance but also an important one because it erased a lot of the negative criticism Pedraza received in his controversial win over Edner Cherry.”

 

Pedraza was the more accurate fighter, נחיתה 50 percent of his power punches over the 12-round bout. The Sniper was able to pick his spots and pocket rounds once he figured out the distance. Smith had his moments, but wasn’t active enough.

VERONA, N.Y.. (אפריל 15, 2016) – Undefeated bantamweight prospects ניקולאי פוטאפוב ו Stephon צעיר fought to a majority draw in theShoBox: הדור החדש אירוע מרכזי יום שישי on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y..

 

The bout was scored 96-94 Potapov and 95-95 פעמיים.

 

Potapov and Young were facing their toughest opponents in each other. פוטאפוב (14-0-1, 6 קוס) controlled the pace early with his jab and was the more active fighter, throwing nearly double the punches that Young threw. Young picked up steam and gained confidence in the middle rounds and was at his best when he pressed the action and let his hands go. But the Russian Potapov, who had gone at least 10 rounds in his last six fights, was clearly more comfortable as the fight progressed.

 

After slowing in the seventh and eighth, צעיר (14-0-3, 6 קוס) found another gear in an impressive ninth, winning the penultimate round on all the judges’ scorecards. אבל, even after urgent instructions from his corner, Young couldn’t carry the momentum into the 10ה and lost the final round on all three scorecards.

 

“I am very unhappy with the decision. For every time he hit me, I hit him twice,אמר פוטפוב, שזרק 315 jabs compared to just 113 for Young. “I was the much busier fighter. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. At the very most I lost four rounds.

 

“I’ve never had a draw before. I feel cheated from a win. I was very happy to be fighting in America but I now feel cheated.”

 

אחרי הקרב, St. Louis native Young was disappointed but knew that he needed to throw more punches.

 

“I feel like it was a good fight, but I should have got the decision,” Young said. “I hurt him every time I hit him. I let him be busier than me, but as far as the contact, I feel like I landed the more effective punches. That was my strategy.

 

“I should have come on a bit sooner. That was my plan, but I got a little relaxed in the fight. I came on in the ninth round when my coach told me to get him out of there.

 

“I most definitely want a rematch. I would like to do that again.”

Facing his toughest opponent to date, Menard floored (31-1, 23 קוס) Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round. The Dominican Bernardo beat the count and finished the round, but he had no answer for Menard’s power. Less than one minute into third, Menard connected with a huge right, knocking Bernardo (21-1, 15 קוס) out before he even hit the canvas.

 

“I made a statement הלילה. Not many people knew who I was going into this, but they know me now,” said Menard, who landed nearly 50 אחוזים מיריות כוחו. “My speed, power and footwork were the difference.

 

“I said a prayer for him in the middle of the ring that he goes back to his family healthy.”

 

ברנרדו, who was removed from the ring on a stretcher as a precautionary measure, was taken to nearby Oneida Healthcare where he was awake and responsive.

 

בהתקף הפתיחה של המשדר, undefeated cruiserweightקונסטנטין בז'נארו ידיים אלכסיי זובוב the first loss of his career in a convincing eight-round unanimous decision scored 77-74, 78-73 פעמיים.

 

Save for a flash seventh round knockdown, בז'נארו (11-0, 4 קוס) שלט במאבק מלכתחילה. The Moldova native overcame a four-inch height disadvantage, attacking from different angles and controlling the exchanges on the inside and outside. שיניים (10-1, 6 קוס) never got into rhythm and failed to capitalize on his reach advantage against the active and athletic southpaw.

 

“He was a good classical boxer, but he’s too straight up and he couldn’t adjust,” Bejenaru said. “It wasn’t as easy as it looked to beat him. I adjusted my style to do that because I knew it would make him hesitate. I knew if I just constantly attacked him he wouldn’t know what to do.”

 

Zubov and Bernardo are now the 146ה ו 147ה boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

NEW YORK (אפריל 13, 2016) – WBC במשקל נוצת אלוף גארי ראסל ג'וניור. (26-1, 15 קוס), של Capitol Heights, מרילנד., and Irish contender פטריק Hyland (31-1, 15 קוס), of Dublin, faced off at the final press conference יום רביעי at Highline Ballroom in New York, as they approach בשבת זו Featherweight World Title fight live on ההצגה מתחילה® from the Fox Theater in Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT.
The ההצגה מתחילה אליפות אגרוף® telecast begins live at 11 p.m. ו/8 p.m. PT on SHOWTIME with IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship clash between unbeaten Puerto Rican ז'וזה Pedraza (21-0, 12 קוס) and mandatory challenger Stephen Smith (23-1, 13 קוס), of Liverpool, אנגליה.
Here’s what the fighters had to say at יום רביעי final press conference.
גארי ראסל ג'וניור.
(On Patrick Hyland…)
“קודם כל, I gotta tip my hat off to him. I heard him say he was being trained by his father. Me and my younger brothers are also trained by my dad. My father is my favorite superhero, so it is very hard to deal with a situation like this and to bounce back and to grind and put all the hard work and effort into it after all the heartache and loss, I gotta tip my hat off to him for that.
I know that anytime you have a fighter that trains for six to eight weeks and prepares for no one else but you, is a dangerous fight. הוא גבוה, הוא ארוך, but we can take him. We’re going to handle it.
(On returning from injury…)
“אני מרגיש טוב. אני מוכן; I put the work in at the gym. כמו שאמרתי קודם לכן, I got cussed out several times and sometimes I left the gym feeling like the worst fighter ever. אבל, עכשיו, we’re ready and we’re prepared to invest in my ability.
(On what it means to have his brother Antonio on the card he’s headlining…)
It means a lot. אני מצפה לזה. I’m actually more looking forward to watching my brother compete than my own fight. I will definitely be working his corner in that fight. It means a lot for us to be able to pass this information down from generation to generation and watch it grow and watch us build as a family and as a unit. It’s amazing.
He definitely has the potential to be the best. Him as well as Antuanne, who is now on the 2016 הקבוצה האולימפית. It’s all information passed down from generation to generation. I feel as though they definitely have the ability to be better than me. I would want them to be anyway.
(On what he needs to win the fight…)
I need to maintain control of the fight, close the distance and maintain the jab. Complete dominance; I want to touch the body early. He likes to move a lot, so we’re going to cut all that down.
(On potential future opponents…)
God willing, everything goes right come אפריל 16, we would love to unify with Lee Selby. If I had my choice, I would go with Lee Selby first to unify. Immediately after that, I want Leo Santa Cruz and after that I need Lomachenko.
I don’t care where [ומצ'נקו] moves. He can lose his next 10 קרבות, but before my career’s done he has to see me.
PATRICK HYLAND
(On what gives him the sense of satisfaction in boxing…)
To fight for the WBC title is everything I’ve dreamed of since I was a kid and all of the hard work that I have put in to get to this position to fight for it. I am happy and I am just living for it now for יום שבת הלילה.”
(On being the first Irish boxer since Barry McGuigan to hold a featherweight world title…)
It’s a whirlwind and it’s great. I’m just a local lad from Johnstown in Dublin and to be fighting on the big stage and to be fighting for a major world title, and again to be named the second featherweight ever to win a world title would be just amazing; a real dream come true for myself.
(On Gary Russell…)
I know he’s got fast hands. He’s a great southpaw and a great boxer so I have to be at the best of my ability ביום שבת night for that. I worked on a game plan in the gym to counter his hand speed and it all has to come together on fight night. I can do all this and say all that, but I just have to perform ביום שבת night and put it in by doing everything I’ve worked on to become champion.
ז'וזה Pedraza
(במחנה אימונים…)
I am feeling really good, we’re in the last stretch of conditioning. It was a very long and intense training camp but we saw improvements in my abilities. I have been waiting a long time for this day to come and we are going to demonstrate to Smith that I am a weapon.
(On Stephen Smith)
Smith is a very good boxer, he has a lot of abilities and intelligence. He’s a boxer with very good defense, but we already utilize a variety of strategies to be able to neutralize all of his abilities.
(On what he plans to demonstrate ביום שבת…)
With my abilities, כמו יום שבת, I will demonstrate that I am above Smith and that I am at the level of what I am, a champion. בסך הכל, I just want to put on a show and I hope that the fan base will enjoy this great card.
(On what he learned from fighting Edner Cherry)
I learned what I have always said and what I have always done to this very day, which is never watching. I never watch too many videos of my opponent because on the day of the fight he could be a completely different fighter and I think that is what occurred then. Aside from that, he utilized a great strategy.
(On his thoughts on other Puerto Rican boxers)
Actually I am a world champion just like Rocky Martinez; there are many Puerto Rican prospects. Like [פליקס] Verdejo but I don’t consider him as a world title contender just yet. He hasn’t fought with a boxer of championship caliber but he is currently among the top fighters in Puerto Rico.
(On other fights he may be interested in at 130 קילו…)
I have always said that the less Puerto Ricans I fight, טוב יותר. If it is the last option, I will fight with Puerto Ricans too but aside from that Rocky [מרטינז] the world champ, there’s Francisco Vargas, [חבייר] מזל, to name a few that are at the top of my list.
STEPHEN SMITH
(On his first time fighting in the U.S….)
“אני מתרגש. If you want to make a name in boxing, then you’re going to do it in the states and that’s what I plan on doing by becoming a world champion Saturday.
(On what he knows about Pedraza)
“ובכן, not quite a lot. I know his name from the amateur days. He’s well established, he’s an Olympian and he’s a talented man. To fight somebody consists of winning or not, it goes beyond tactics, beyond style and beyond skillset really. I believe I have what it takes to fight anyone and nothing will keep me from becoming a world champion.
(On what he needs to do to get the victory)
It can be a different type of fight; we know he likes to switch it up and box from different stances. He’s obviously talented so it’s going to take a different set from each way but we know what to expect. I’ve gone over everything with my trainer Joe Gallagher and we’re ready to go.
(On his brothers Liam and Callum being champions and what it could mean to potentially join them)
It’s special. Two weeks ago Liam and Callum won a European world title and it just gives me the confidence, the spirit to hike. I’m in a really good place mentally and I couldn’t be feeling better going into it. After my boot camp going successfully, it just makes you feel better going ahead to become a world champion.
(On UK champions on the rise in the past year)
There’s a lot of history there and for myself and my family, so we do what we’ve always wanted to do and we’re looking to just keep moving forward.
TRAINER JOE GALLAGHER
(במחנה אימונים…)
It was good. Obviously it boiled up to Callum’s win. There’s a good momentum. Callum and then Stephen has his world title opportunity. It’s been a slow burning rise with Stephen but he’s got, as I call it ‘his World Cup final’ — something that is going to take heart and strength. His strength is going very well. Pedraza is a very good fighter, good orthodox, good southpaw, he can mix it up and we’re prepared for whatever style he wants to bring ביום שבת.”
(On the process of preparing for a fighter like Pedraza)
It’s a nightmare. It’s hard enough when you’re fighting a quality orthodox or a quality southpaw, of which he is, but not only that. He can also box on the back foot and on the front foot so we’re varying sparring partners, we’re mixing up the sparring in between the rounds, switching stances, and whichever way Pedraza wants to fight at the end of the night, I’m sure we’ll have an answer for.
(On how he feels the fight will play out)
I think that’s all up to Pedraza, looking back at a few of his fights, he boxes slow and gets off to a good start but then he seems to lose his way a little in rounds. When you watch him against [אנדריי] Klimov, he started out very well, put him under manners very quickly and had him nearly beat by the fourth round but [אנדריי] managed to stay in very well and boxed really well. He got to the middle rounds, lost his way a little bit, switched southpaw, so either way it’s going to be fascinating. We’ve just got to make sure we don’t get caught to early when he’s quick and he’s sharp and he’s trying to put manners in Stephen Smith and then take him into the deep waters like Edner Cherry.
(His prediction)
Stephen Smith. Possibly by knockout. לא, definitely by knockout.

This will be a history-making, record-breaking night for the Charlo twins,” said Jermall Charlo. “It means everything to us to be able to fight in two championship fights on the same card. This is everything we’ve ever dreamed of. This is going to be a great night of boxing and I’m preparing myself for war. Austin Trout is a seasoned vet. He’s fought world champions and has beaten future Hall of Famer Miguel Cotto. This is one of my biggest fights to date, but I’m preparing the same way I always do. I’m going to be on my ‘A’ משחק. I’m ready to make history.
I’m extremely excited and grateful for the opportunity to fight for the world title on מאי 21,” אמר פורל. “It’s a twice-in-a-lifetime chance for a second world title and I’m going to take full advantage of it.

There has never been identical twin brothers that are both world champions in the same weight class. We’re going to go out there and make history and send a message to the whole division. I’m excited to get in the ring and I know John Jackson is too. This is an important time in my career and I will be well prepared. Let the best man win.
I’m very grateful for this opportunity to become a world champion,” אמר ג'קסון. “I’ve been training very hard for the last two months for this fight and come מאי 21 I will be victorious over Jermell Charlo and realize my lifelong dream of becoming a world champion, like my dad, the great Julian Jackson.
This is yet another example of SHOWTIME Sportscommitment to delivering the best lineup in boxing,” אמרה סטיבן אספינוזה, סגן נשיא בכיר & מנהל כללי, ספורט ואוטיים. “We’re featuring three important championship fights in one of boxing’s most intriguing young divisionsa tripleheader that will bring our 2016 tally of world title bouts to 14 – all free to SHOWTIME subscribers.

להלן מה שהיו הלוחמים לומר:

 

RUSLAN PROVODNIKOV

“As soon as I heard the name John Molina, I jumped on it. Molina fights with the type of style that people want to see. He brings the action.

 

"יוני 11 is another Fight of the Year-type fight. אתה יכול לצפות זיקוקין.

 

“People expect action fights when I get in the ring. I appreciate that SHOWTIME saw a value in what I can offer and I want to make sure that I don’t let them down.

 

“I’ve only seen one fight of his, and that was the fight with (לוקאס) Matthysse. That fight shows the type of fighter he is.

 

“I think our styles are going to clash. The reason people love this is because it’s unpredictable. Nobody knows what’s going to happen on יוני 11. Nobody can even predict which way it’s going to go. We’re both punchers, we both go forward, we both fight in a risky style. I think that’s going to make this fight a fight that everybody should watch.

 

“The fight is already a huge motivation, but the fact that the Hall of Fame is the same weekend is definitely great. I’m definitely pleased to know that because hopefully one day I can be a part of that.”

 

 

JOHN מולינה JR.

 

“We’re never say die fighters. We come forward. It’s literally like two trains that are going to collide. It’s a can’t miss fight.

 

“He’s a hell of a fighter. He has a big heart and a big will.

 

"עכשיו, my only focus is – and I know it sounds generic – but my only focus is on Ruslan Provodnikov. He deserves my undivided attention right now because he’s that kind of fighter.

 

“I have to prepare for someone that has a never say die attitude. He’s like a virus that will never go away. He’s a hell of a fighter – he has a big heart and a big will. It’s tough to beat a guy that wants to win.

 

“We’re going to give the fans a treat, a Gatti-Ward type fight. I expect nothing less. We can have a phone booth, we don’t need a big ring.

 

“The judges probably don’t even need to be there because we’re going to decide the fight ourselves.”

 

דמטריוס אנדראדה

 

“Willie Nelson, he’s going to come in and he’s going to try and throw those power shots. He’s going to try to stomp me down and make a statement, but I’ve been doing this for too long. I’m just ready to be where I need to be, where I deserve to be, and that’s on the top.

“I’m not worried about ring rust. I stayed in the gym like a true champion should. I’m still young in the game so I don’t think I should have any problems seeing or ducking any punches.

 

“I’m confident and I know I’m the best 154-pounder out there and this fight right here is going to let people know that I’m back in business.

 

“Everybody knows the work that I’ve put in. The time is now and the time is coming.

 

“I’m ready to re-introduce myself to boxing fans and show them I’m the best 154-pounder in the world.

 

“After this fight with Willie Nelson, I plan on fighting the winner of Jermell Charlo and John Jackson and getting that WBC belt. ואחרי זה, I want to face the rest of the division and prove I’m the best.”

RUSSIA’S ZUBOV LIVING OUT HIS DREAMS FIGHTING FOR DETROIT’S KRONK GYM WHILE PREPARING FOR HIS SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION DEBUT THIS FRIDAY, אפריל 15

BROOKLYN, ניו יורק (אפריל 12, 2016) – As a kid growing up in Magnitogorsk, רוסיה,cruiserweight אלכסיי זובוב heard stories about the fabled Kronk Gym and the late legendary trainer Emanuel Steward, but never thought he’d have a chance to join the team. But then one day, the former amateur champion was asked to come to Detroit to spar with Kronk’s Johnathon Banks … והשאר היסטוריה.
זה יום שישי, אפריל 15, the undefeated Zubov (10-0, 6 קוס) will face Mandilesti, Moldova’s קונסטנטין בז'נארו (10-0, 4 קוס, WSB: 0-1-1) in the eight-round opener of an internationally televised ShoBox: הדור החדש live on SHOWTME (10 p.m. ו/PT, עיכוב בחוף המערבי) בקזינו סטון Resort הפיכה בוורונה, ניו יורק.
Presented by Salita Promotions in association with AASHA Record Breakers,the mainevent will featureIBF No. 10-bantamweight מדורגת ניקולאי פוטאפוב (14-0, 6 קוס), של פודולסק, רוסיה, לוקח על Stephon צעיר (14-0-2, 6 קוס), סנט. לואיס, Missouri in a 10-round bout. במקרה שיתוף ראשי, אודי ברנרדו (21-0, 15 קוס) of the Dominican Republic faces בַּנַאִי “הארד הרוק סגיב” מנארד (30-1-0, 22 קוס), of Rayne, לואיזיאנה, in an eight-round battle.
Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at the Turning Stone Resort Casino Box Office, by calling 877.833.SHOW, או באופן מקוון בTicketmaster.com. They are priced at $60 למושבים קדמיים, $35 ו $25.
I’ve been in Detroit for the last two months and I am so happy; I want to stay here, train here and live here,” אמר זובוב. “Every Russian fighter knows about Kronk Gym and Emanuel Steward.
Zubov is currently winding down camp with his trainer and Steward’s nephew Javan “סוכר” היל בחדר הכושר קרונק המתחדש. “I like Javan’s style,” אמר זובוב, “and I’ve learned so much about hand speed and footwork and about using intelligence in the ringhow you need to think when you’re in a fight.
Alexey is able to learn a lot and absorb boxing knowledge easily,” סעיד היל. “He barely speaks English and yet he soaks it in. It’s amazing. I brought him in to spar with Banks and when we were training, Alexey just sat on the side and watched. מאוחר יותר, he was sparring with Johnathon and I told him to stop. I said ‘listen here. I’m training Jonathon Banks and you’re doing everything I told him to do. What’s wrong with you?’ Then I laughed and said ‘I like that. Keep watching. I’ll teach you everything you want to know.’ “
Hill says this camp with Zubov was a transition for the fighter. “We are moving into the championship level where you train for a specific fighter. A lot of it is strategy and planning. The only thing I worry about is him being too excited. He’s very high-strung and wants to prove things. I have to control him and keep him from getting over-excited. That’s what we’ve been working on. He gets antsy when he’s excited.
Training was prefect. אני 100 אחוזים מוכנים,” אמר זובוב. “I know Bejenaru is a southpaw and he is a short guy with a good record. It’s my first time on SHOWTIME and I am so happy to be showing the world what I can do.

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader during International Boxing Hall of Fame weekend, WBC לא. 1-מדורג קל משקל דז'אן Zlaticanin will take on No. 2-מדורג Emiliano Marsili for the vacant WBC Lightweight World Championship.

 

Fighting out of his native Providence, R.I., the 28-year-old Andrade has compiled an unblemished record of 22-0 עם 15 knockouts since turning professional in 2008 after representing the United States in the 2008 אולימפיאדה בבייג'ין, סין.

 

A crafty southpaw with a piston-like jab and knockout power in each hand, Andrade won the vacant WBO Junior Middleweight World Championship with a career-best performance over Vanes Martirosyan on November 9, 2013 and successfully defended the title against No. 1-ranked mandatory challenger Brian Rose on June 14, 2014. Most recently Andrade, who is a consensus top-5 super welterweight, scored a second-round knockout over Dario Fabian Pucheta on October 17, 2015.

 

A true road warrior who is extremely tall for a junior middleweight at 6-foot-3, נלסון (25-2-1, 15 KO של) has faced and defeated numerous top contenders over his 10-year career. Fighting only once in 2015, the Cleveland native upset highly regarded and undefeated junior middleweight prospect Tony Harrison with a ninth-round knockout on יולי 11 בטמפה, פלורידה. In his first start of 2016, Nelson stopped Jonathan Batista in the second round on March 25.

 

Other notable names the all-action Nelson has defeated include John Jackson, לוצ'יאנו Cuello, Michael Medina and Yudel Jackson. באוקטובר 14, 2014, Nelson came up just short against Martirosyan, losing a hotly contested 10-round decision on SHOWTIME.

 

The southpaw Zlaticanin (17-0, 10 קוס) was an accomplished amateur in Eastern Europe before making a statement in his U.S. debut with an impressive fourth-round TKO of previously undefeated Ivan Redkach in a 135-pound title eliminator last יוני 13על ההצגה מתחילה.

 

Two bouts prior to the win over Redkach, דז'אן (pronounced “DAY-han) Zlaticanin (silent “z” – pronounced “la-ti-CAH-nin) earned a well-deserved 12-round split decision over hometown favorite and former two-division world champion Ricky Burns in 2014.

 

The 31-year-old Zlaticanin is an offensive-minded fighter who constantly pressures his opponents, outworks them and wears them down. Zlaticanin, of the Southeastern European country of Montenegro, will be making his first start in nearly 12 חודשים.

 

The win over Redkach last June earned Redkach the WBC’s mandatory position at 135 קילו. He was scheduled to face WBC Champion Jorge Linares in early 2016, but Linares pulled out of the bout with a broken hand. Due to the injury, the WBC has since named Linares their champion in recess, creating the opportunity for the vacant title shot.

 

The Italian Marsili (32-0-1, 14 קוס) יעשה 2016, מתגורר בארה"ב. and SHOWTIME debut. The undefeated southpaw has fought all but one of his professional fights in Italy, the lone exception a 2012 TKO of veteran contender Derry Matthews in Britain.

 

The 39-year old fought twice in 2015, a seventh-round TKO of Gyorgy Mizsei Jr., for the European lightweight belt and a 12-round unanimous decision over Gamaliel Diaz for the WBC’s 135-pound silver title.
