NEW YORK (ఫిబ్రవరి. 27, 2016) – IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton unified the super bantamweight division with a split decision victory over WBA titlist Scott Quigg శనివారం on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL from Manchester, ఇంగ్లాండ్.
An encore presentation of శనివారం యొక్క telecast will re-air later this evening immediately following the live షోటైం ఛాంపియన్షిప్ బాక్సింగ్® telecast headlined by three-division world champion లియో శాంటా క్రజ్ మాజీ titlist Kiko Martinez. The SHOWTIME telecast begins at 10 ప్రధానమంత్రి. AND/7 ప్రధానమంత్రి. PT.
The long-awaited matchup of unbeaten champions got off to a slow and tactical start, but Belfast native Frampton (22-0, 14 కోస్) established himself as the aggressor and worked his jab to pocket the early rounds. Quigg didn’t come alive until after the seventh, when trainer Joe Gallagher warned his charge that he was likely down big on the judges’ scorecards.
QUIGG (31-1-2) pounded the body and was the aggressor in rounds eight through 11, but it was too little, too late for the Lancashire, England native. Frampton won the 12వ and walked away the unified champion by scores of 115-113 for Quigg, కానీ 116-112 twice for Frampton.
“I couldn’t believe it was a split,” Frampton said. “I don’t know what that lad was watching, but as long as I got my hand raised at the end of the fight, that’s the main thing.
“We have a great rivalry, and it was a great fight at the end. The start wasn’t great, but of course I would do it again. I’m happy to campaign at super bantamweight, but if a big fight comes calling at featherweight – Santa Cruz, సెల్బీ, any of these guys – I’m ready for them.”
Quigg admitted he should have pushed the action in the early rounds, but still thought he did enough to get the decision.
“I felt comfortable,” Quigg said. “The judges must have been counting his punches as scoring, but I thought I was blocking them. I should have started faster. I felt comfortable and I thought I was winning the rounds because he wasn’t winning clear. I’m not going to complain. నేను తిరిగి పోటీ కావలసిన. Maybe next time I’ll start a bit earlier.”

ఇక్కడ యోధులు ఏం చెప్పారో ఉంది గురువారం:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
“Headlining a televised card has been my childhood dream. I could have never imagined I was going to get this far. And Here I am, on my second main event, defending my title on a premium network. I’m so psyched. I cannot believe it.
“The first time I put the gloves on, I knew that I had found my craft, and I also knew that it was not going to be an easy road. I knew that I had to work hard to become a champion. కాబట్టి, I trained the hardest and I fought the hardest, and with my father by my side I got here, where I’m at today. I owe him everything.
“I remember watching all the great Mexican Champions and day dreaming about being like them one day. It felt unreachable. I thought it was impossible to get where they were. But I worked hard, really hard from the beginning.
“The most important thing is that the fans leave happy and get their money’s worth. I’m glad that Kiko has come prepared because we’re ready for a great fight.
“People are saying that I should walk through Kiko Martinez, but I don’t listen to that. I look at Kiko the same way I look at any other opponent. When we step inside the ring, we are equals.
“At the end of the day, the winner will be the fighter who has prepared more and who has imposed his will on the other man.
KIKO MARTINEZ
“I have faced much stronger boxers than Leo and come శనివారం, all of those who did bet on me for this fight, I am going to make you a lot of money.
“I am excited and proud to know that Sergio Martinez will be present శనివారం supporting me. His guidance and presence
“My trainer could not be here, but we have not taken one day off in training camp and I have been pushed to my limit to prepare me for this fight. I’m thankful to Robert Garcia for being in my corner శనివారం.
“I know this is a great opportunity to fight Leo Santa Cruz and I will make the most of it. I’m going to leave everything inside the ring so that the fight fans enjoy a great championship matchup.
“I feel that Leo Santa Cruz is a great fighter, he has beat some incredible fighters. He’s a great athlete and boxer. Sometimes people will try to make him out to be more than he actually is but they are mistaken with what they see in me. I am not to be mistaken as the underdog here.
JULIO CEJA
“As Hugo mentioned, we have both trained even harder than last time and we’re more prepared physically and mentally.
“I’m going to give everybody a great fight just like last time. I’m walking into the ring knowing my opponent very well. We’ve been to war. I know what to expect from him. I know about his punch and I know how to counter it.
“I’m going to be alert and ready. I’ll be a little more intelligent, because I know that he’s coming well prepared and he’s coming for the world title, but he’s not going to get it.
“There are going to be no surprises in this fight. Hugo Ruiz said that he was training harder this time. But I am too. I’ve trained very hard.
“The key for me to win this fight is to keep my hands up and to not give him one inch. I cannot be careless. I’ll be strategic and use my wisdom. I cannot come in with my hands down because I know I’ll pay for it. But nothing to worry about, we have rectified those issues in training camp. నేను సిద్ధంగా ఉన్నాను. He’s not taking my belt away from me.
“I’m glad that he says he is better prepared this time because I am better than ever. My team has been instrumental in preparing me for this matchup.
“The winner will be the man who is more prepared physically and mentally. But the real winner will be the fans at Honda Center because this is an amazing card and we’re going to put on an amazing fight.”
HUGO RUIZ
“If you liked the first fight between us, then you are going to love this one.
“I’m excited to be fighting once again in Southern California. I’ve trained very hard and I have prepared myself for this world title opportunity.
“I’m looking forward to putting on a grand show for all my fans శనివారం రాత్రి. "
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz’ Father & శిక్షణ
“I hear Kiko has a great trainer on his corner. Robert Garcia is really good, but I have news for Kiko, his trainer is not going to fight for him.
“Once a fighter steps into the ring, he’s alone in there. There are no trainers and no great promoters that can fight for him.”
“Kiko speaks about this prestigious trainer and thinks that by mentioning him, he is going to intimidate us. He has something else coming. The trainer won’t fight for Kiko. Roberto Garcia has trained my son and knows Leo very well but that does not give Kiko the upper hand.”
TOM BROWN, Head of TGB Promotions
“Southern California favorite Leo Santa Cruz returns to bring his action style to the ring. He will be opposed by a tough former world champion in Kiko Martinez who is sure to make this a tremendous fight.
“The first fight between Ceja and Ruiz was a true back and forth war. Should this pick up right where it left off, we will have a great fight to start the telecast.
“I’m looking forward to a great night శనివారం night in front of the fantastic Southern California boxing fans.”
TIM RYAN, సియిఒ & President of Honda Center
“I’m so thankful to everyone for helping to bring boxing back to Orange County. It’s hard to believe that Julio Cesar Chavez fought here in 1996, because it seems like yesterday.
“We have a great arena and a great fan base that loves boxing here in Orange County. కార్డ్ శనివారం is wonderful. I know these guys will be ready and I’m looking forward to an action-packed night on the 27వ.
CHRIS DEBLASIO, వైస్ ప్రెసిడెంట్, Sports Communication Showtime Networks
“This is a fight fan’s fight card and we are looking forward to some explosive action. I think everyone knows that the lighter weight classes, especially at the championship level, produce exciting fights. My favorite examples include the epic series between Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez, which are available on SHOWTIME platforms and should wet your appetite for what we will see శనివారం రాత్రి. "

“Because of the magnitude of this fight, everything had to be perfect. I’ve done everything right this time,"
“This means so much; there is a lot at stake. It’s more than titles – it’s pride and bragging rights. It’s proving who is the best. Reputation is a big deal, so there is so much on the line.
“I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to win. I’ve punching power to KO him in any round and I’ve the boxing brain to win on points.
“I’ve spent 17 weeks in camp, the longest ever. I missed my son’s first steps and both my kids’ birthdays. I did that because this could be my toughest fight. I’m not going to let Scott Quigg make all that be for nothing.”
“It’s going to be a great fight, one for the ages. I’ll win. It doesn’t matter how, KO or clear points decision.
On the home-team dressing room:
“I’m contractually the A-side. It’s a question of principle.”
SCOTT QUIGG:
“Nobody does what I do in terms of dedication to the sport. I’ll win because of boxing brain and ability.
“It’ll mean everything to win. Since the age of 15, all I have done is eat, sleep and train.
"శనివారం is my moment of destiny and, నాకు నమ్మకం, నేను ఈ పోరాటం గెలుచుకున్న. I’ve put in too much for anyone to stop me.”
“Tune in for a great fight. I’m going to prove I’m the best super bantamweight. I’m going to win by knockout.
On the home-team dressing room:
“It’s my arena, I’m the home fighter. I want the home dressing room.”
షేన్ మక్ గుఇగాన్, ఫ్రాంప్టన్ యొక్క శిక్షకుడు:
“They are two legitimate, world class fighters and there is maybe only 2 percent difference at the top level – Carl has that extra percent.
“As a trainer you are only as good as your fighters and I’m lucky to have Carl.”
JOE GALLAGHER, Quigg’s Trainer
"అతను (Shane McGuigan) was a nutritionist a few years ago who asked to help Gerry Storey. He’s only famous because of his dad.
“They are underestimating Scott’s boxing brain and being disrespectful throughout the build-up.”
బార్రీ మక్ గుఇగాన్, Frampton’s Promoter
“There has never been a bigger super bantamweight fight of this magnitude in Europe. It’s got a Barrera-Morales feel to hit and is going to be a magnificent occasion.
“I think Carl will have too much for him, but it has the potential to be a great fight.”
EDDIE HEARN, Quigg’s Promoter
“It’s bigger than Froch vs. తోటలకు, because it is a global event.
“I’m proud to have made the fight happen. This can ignite the sport and keep it alive.
“The atmosphere and passion will eclipse all that has gone before. It just doesn’t get any bigger than this.
“I can’t see anything other than a great fight. With two fighters this talented, so much on the line and so much passion from teams and fans, you’re going to get something very special.”

ANTOINE DOUGLAS TO FACE AVTANDIL KHURTSIDZE IN MARCH 5 SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION® CO-FEATURE
Khurtsidze Replaces The Injured Sam Soliman
Julian Williams Takes On Marcello Matano In 154-Pound Eliminator In Main Event Of Tripleheader Live On SHOWTIME® From Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Pa.
NEW YORK (ఫిబ్రవరి. 23, 2016) – Undefeated middleweight contenderఆంటోనీ డగ్లస్ will face hard-hitting Avtandil Khurtsidze in the co-feature of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION® శనివారం, మార్చి 5, న నివసిస్తున్నారు షోటైం® (10 ప్రధానమంత్రి. AND/PT) from Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Pa.
Khurtsidze (30-2-2, 20 కోస్) steps in to face GH3 Promotions’ Douglas (19-0-1, 13 కోస్) in a 10-round middleweight bout for the WBO International title after సామ్ soliman pulled out of the fight last week with a knee injury.
Khurtsidze, బ్రూక్లిన్, N.Y.. by way of Kutaisi, జార్జియా, has won eight straight – including six by knockout – since dropping a controversial decision to then-unbeaten హసన్ N'Dam in a bout for the vacant interim WBA World Middleweight Title in Paris in 2010.
Khurtsidze was scheduled to face N’Dam in a rematch last నవంబర్ 21 పారిస్ లో, but the event was cancelled following the tragic నవంబర్ 13 terror attacks in France. The rematch with the former world champion was to be contested for the IBF No. 2 spot at 160 పౌండ్ల.
A pressure fighter, Khurtsidze was also slated to fight last week on a DiBella Entertainment Broadway Boxing event and has been training since the fight with N’Dam was called off. The 36-year-old, who has also campaigned at super middleweight, is coming off a knockout victory over Melvin Betancourt last August.
“Avtandil is a world class guy, a former silver titlist and has been at the top of the division for years,” లౌ DiBella చెప్పారు, DiBella ఎంటర్టైన్మెంట్ అధ్యక్షుడు. “This is a great opportunity for him and a huge step up for Douglas. Avtandil had been on his way to France to fight for the No. 2 ranking against N’Dam when the tragic terrorist attacks hit Paris, which was a terribly unfortunate situation for all. ఇప్పుడు, he looks to impress in this fight against the highly regarded Douglas. The winner of this bout moves up significantly in the middleweight world rankings and will be in line for a major fight in the 160-pound division later this year.”
In the main event of the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader, Julian “J-Rock” విలియమ్స్ and once-beaten Italian Marcello Matano will square off in a 12-round IBF eliminator for the No. 1 ranking at 154 పౌండ్ల. ప్రసారం యొక్క ప్రారంభ మ్యాచ్ లో, hard-hitting prospect టోనీ హారిసన్ will face veteran former world title challenger ఫెర్నాండో Guerrero ఒక 10-రౌండ్ సూపర్ వేల్టర్వెయిట్ పోటీలో.

ATLANTIC CITY (ఫిబ్రవరి. 20, 2016) - ఆడమ్ "వెన్న" లోపెజ్ (15-0, 7 కోస్), శాన్ ఆంటోనియో, టెక్సాస్, remained unbeaten and took another step toward becoming a full-fledged contender by winning a hard-fought unanimous 10-round decision over previously undefeated Mario “Yayo” Muñoz (16-1-1, 10 కోస్), .గ్వాడలజరా, జలిస్కో, మెక్సికో, లో శుక్రవారంప్రధాన ఘటనగా ShoBox: న్యూ జెనరేషన్ న నివసిస్తున్నారు షోటైంనుండి Adrian Phillips Ballroom in Historic Boardwalk Hall.
“Lopez punched harder and controlled the tempo," ShoBox నిపుణుడు విశ్లేషకుడు స్టీవ్ Farhood అన్నారు. “He overcame the problem with his right eye and now he’s 3-0 with three undefeated fighters on ShoBox, so he’s indeed a prospect to watch.”
The highly regarded Lopez, making his third ShoBox appearance and main event debut, survived a nasty cut over his right eye to win by the scores of 98-92 రెండుసార్లు మరియు 97-93. There were no knockdowns.
“This was my toughest fight as a pro and I think I proved a lot,'' లోపెజ్ అన్నారు, who entered the ring as the WBA No. 8 contender at 122 పౌండ్ల. “I showed I could fight through a lot of adversity. The cut in my eye was definitely a factor for my performance in a couple of rounds, but I put the pedal to the medal and got through it. I landed the more telling shots.
“This is the kind of fight I can learn from. Fighting through the cut and all the head butts, and still persevering. These are the kinds of fights that make fighters better. You don’t learn a thing by blowing guys out.
“Muñoz was a good fighter and landed some tight shots on me, but I was definitely the better fighter and there was no question I would get the decision. I thought I might stop him in the eighth or ninth, but it didn’t happen.’’
There was little known about Muñoz going into శుక్రవారం, but the mystery man from Mexico who was making his United States debut and first start outside of Mexico performed well and showed solid skills and ability.
“I’m very disappointed in the decision,’’ Muñoz said. “I’m a better fighter than he is. I landed more combinations. My face is unmarked, look at his. He hurt me more from his low blows and head butts than he did with his punches. I’d love to fight him again.’’
With the defeat, Muñoz became the 142nd boxer on ShoBox to suffer his first defeat. Two fights earlier, Lavisas “Red Williams (8-1-1, 3 కోస్), రోచెస్టర్, N.Y., మారింది 141స్టంప్ ShoBox boxer to suffer his initial setback when he lost by seventh round TKO to O'Shaquie "ఐస్ వాటర్" ఫోస్టర్ (10-1, 7 కోస్), ఆరంజ్, టెక్సాస్.
ఫోస్టర్, మాజీ ఔత్సాహిక standout, rebounded from a poor outing in hisShoBox debut to register a seventh-round TKO over Williams. Foster dropped the outclassed southpaw four times. After the final knockdown in the seventh, the fight was stopped at 52 రౌండ్ లోకి సెకన్లు.
In the co-feature of a ShoBox quadrupleheader, undefeated super middleweight Ronald “Flatline” Ellis (12-0-1, 10 కోస్), లిన్ యొక్క, మాస్., and Washington D.C.’s జెర్రీ "రాజు యొక్క కుమారుడు" Odom (13-2-1, 12 కోస్) fought to a hard-fought eight-round majority draw. A close, competitive contest throughout was scored 78-74 for Ellis and 76-76 ఒక ముక్క.
ప్రసారం ప్రారంభ పోరాటంలో, John “Madman” Magda (11-0-1, 7 కోస్), రూథర్ఫర్డ్ యొక్క, N.Y., and Philadelphia’s Christopher “Ice Cold” Brooker (7-1-1, 5 కోస్) fought to a disputed eight-round split draw in a super middleweight matchup that most felt Brooker won. At the finish, one judge had it for Magda (77-74), one had it for Brooker (78-74) and one had it even at 76-all.
“I thought that was a terrible decision,'' Farhood చెప్పారు. “The judges were all over the place. I think Brooker did enough to win. He was the more aggressive fighter and landed the bigger punches. I was very surprised by the result that it was a draw.”
ఎల్లిస్, a five-year-pro who hurt his right hand at the end of the third, was pleased with his overall performance, not so much the result.
“I think I did a good job రాత్రి,’’ said Ellis, the older brother of welterweight prospect Rashidi ఎల్లిస్ who’d won four straight by knockout, including a second-round TKO over Jas Phipps in his last start last Aug. 29. “I started strong and I showed that I belong here, in a nationally televised show. I’m happy with what I did.
“I showed రాత్రి that I can counter a busy fighter. I can take a punch. I can also be a boxer-puncher. Odom tried to do his thing at the beginning, but he just couldn’t do it with me. I followed my trainer’s advice. I punched, I stood back. I used my left hook. I think I really hurt him a couple times.
“I won that fight. I’m sure. మొదట, I banged with him and then I showed my boxing. It was easy in there, I won that fight. అతను నన్ను చాలా బాధించింది ఎప్పుడూ. I’ll be back. You will be seeing a lot of me in the future.”
Odom, టాప్ ఔత్సాహిక మరియు 2012 జాతీయ గోల్డెన్ గ్లవ్స్ ఛాంపియన్ 178 pounds who was looking to turn it around after losing two of his last three, was content with the decision although he felt he’d won his first fight in seven months.
“I can’t be disappointed with the decision because I fought my heart out.’’ Odom said. “I know I hurt him. He hurt me a bit in the second, but I got back on my feet and I kept on going.
“I feel I pulled it out in the last rounds. I worked the body, I think I did some damage. Ellis looked hurt.
“I mean no disrespect, but I felt I definitely did enough to win, but the judges saw it differently.”
Said Farhood: “Ellis-Odom was a strange fight. At times it was a brawl, and at times it was a boxing match. సార్లు వద్ద, one fighter came forward and at times the other fighter came forward. I thought Odom did enough in the last couple of rounds to salvage a draw and it turns out that is what the judges scored, a draw. కాబట్టి, I think the judges got it right on that fight.”
Foster decked Williams in the second, third, fourth and seventh rounds. Three of the knockdowns appeared to result from a push, but Williams’ gloves touched the canvas each time so they went into the books as knockdowns.
“I think it was a great win for Foster, because he looked so bad when he fought on ShoBox last time outdoor in Las Vegas,'' Farhood చెప్పారు. “And this kind he showed the kind of skills that enable him to be a good amateur. He showed the kind of skills that will make him a legitimate prospect as a pro. It was a very good win for him. He showed speed. He showed his movement, his boxing abilities and he scored four knockdowns, and you can’t ask for much better than that.”
“This is a huge relief for me,’’ Foster said. "నేను గొప్ప అనుభూతి. I think people saw a glimpse of the kind of fighter I can be రాత్రి. That wasn’t me in my first ShoBox పోరాటం. I don’t know if I froze under the lights or if I lost because of the cold weather outside, but I wasn’t nearly as confident for that fight as I was రాత్రి and it affected my performance.
“I had a tremendous training camp, my best camp ever, which played a big part in my confidence రాత్రి. I thank God for the opportunity to fight on national television again and I’m already looking forward to the next time.’’
The previously undefeated Williams confessed he was unable to his rhythm. “For some reason, I just could not get loose. I had a cold, but I won’t take anything away from Foster. He knocked me down, but I actually thought he pushed me down most of those times.
“I learned something రాత్రి. I can’t do what I did. I can’t wait on my opponent. I have to attack first. I’ll be will be back.”

Brooker was visibly upset with the verdict.
“I don’t train eight hours a day, seven days a week to get this kind of decision. That was not a draw, I clearly won the fight,'' అతను చెప్పాడు. “I don’t want to take away from Magda. He’s strong fighter and he countered well, but I showed everybody that hard work beats talent any day.
“I won this fight. I was the aggressor. I threw some big punches. My right was key. In the beginning Magda was fast, but I placed my punches and I know I did enough to win the fight.’’
“I feel OK, but this was a tough fight,” said Magda. “He stayed on me and pressed forward, which we knew he would. But he was stronger than I thought. I’ll have to watch the tape again, but I thought I landed the more effective punches.’’
