KEITH THURMAN TO DEFEND WBA WELTERWEIGHT TITLE AGAINST SHAWN PORTER IN BLOCKBUSTER SHOWDOWN OF ELITE 147-POUNDERS ON SATURDAY, MÁRTA 12
CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING RETURNS TO PRIMETIME ON CBS WITH PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS BLOCKBUSTER
LIVE ON CBS 8:30 P.m. AGUS/5:30 P.m. PT
Grianghraif by Esther Lin/SHOWTIME:
NUA-EABHRAC - Eanáir 23, 2016 - WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith “One Time” Thurman will defend his title against former champ “Showtime” Shawn Porter in a blockbuster matchup of two of the world’s best 147-pound fighters on Dé Sathairn, Márta 12 ar SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS.
The welterweight showdown will air live on CBS at 8:30 p.m. AGUS / 5:30 p.m. PT from Mohegan Sun Casino Resort in Uncasville, Connecticut. An ócáid, promoted by DiBella Entertainment, is produced by SHOWTIME Sports® for the CBS Television Network, both divisions of the CBS Corporation. The last primetime boxing event on CBS was Muhammad Ali-Leon Spinks on Feb. 15, 1978.
Thurman (26-0, 22 Kos), of Clearwater, Fla., and Porter (26-1-1, 16 Kos), of Las Vegas by way of Akron, Ohio, are both coming off superb 2015 campaigns that solidified the fresh faces among the elite of arguably boxing’s most exciting division. With perennial pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather now retired, the 27-year-old Thurman and the 28-year-old Porter are hungry to stake their claim as the future of boxing.
“Thurman vs. Porter is a marquee matchup of two elite boxers in the prime of their careers, and the winner will establish himself as arguably the No. 1 fighter in boxing’s glamour division,"A dúirt Stephen Espinoza, Feidhmeannacht na Leas-Uachtarán agus Bainisteoir Ginearálta, Showtime Spóirt. “Fights of this caliber don’t come along very often, agus nuair a dhéanann siad, they deserve to be on the biggest stage possible. That’s why all of us at SHOWTIME and CBS are so excited to be able to deliver this pivotal matchup to a primetime audience on America’s highest-rated network.”
“Last year was an amazing year for me: I headlined the very first Premier Boxing Champions show and was named PBC Fighter of the Year,” Thurman said. “But this is my year to dominate the welterweight division and I’m excited to be getting ready to take out Shawn Porter. I am ready to get back in the ring and bring boxing fans what they’ve been looking for – the top true welterweight champion of the world, the one who is going to take out all competitors one by one. I am Keith ‘One-Time’ Thurman and I’m going to show you what a champion looks like on Márta 12."
“I’m very confident in my ability. That’s why I’ve been looking forward to this fight because I’m someone who can beat Keith Thurman,” Porter said. “Nothing about Keith really makes me nervous. I do know that he’s going to be ready for this fight. He’s a fighter that has the heart of a lion just like I do. I expect this to be a fight to the finish. A win over Keith Thurman is what we’ve been waiting for.”
“Keith Thurman against Shawn Porter is one of the best matchups that can be made in the welterweight division right now and I am thrilled that it is taking place at Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Conn.,” Dúirt Lou DiBella, Uachtarán na DiBella Siamsaíocht. “The hard-punching world titleholder Thurman and the highly skilled former champion Porter will have the opportunity to prove that they are the next heir to the throne in the post-Mayweather era of the 147 roinn punt.”
“One Time” Thurman, who owns a better than 80 percent KO ratio and knocked out 18 a chéad 20 opponents, is considered one of the most avoided fighters in boxing. After unsuccessfully lobbying to fight the best of the division for the past two years, Thurman finally had a breakout 2015.
The hard-hitting Florida native floored former champion and long-time contender Robert Guerrero en route to a convincing 12ú round unanimous last March in Las Vegas. He then dominated and bloodied former champ Luis Collazo on Iúil 11, winning via seventh round TKO. Thurman won the Interim WBA belt with a knockout of Diego Chaves in 2013 and scored consecutive knockouts over Jesus Soto Karass (2013) and Julio Diaz (2014) in his first and second title defenses.
Against Porter, Thurman will now get a chance to prove what he’s been claiming for years – that he’s the world’s best welterweight – in the toughest test of his career.
“Showtime” Porter has built one of the most impressive resumes in the division since making his welterweight debut in 2010. Caith, who surprisingly turned professional as a super middleweight (168 punt), won the IBF crown in 2013 with an impressive unanimous decision over Devon Alexander.
The physically-gifted and offensive-minded Ohio native knocked out former two-division world champion Paulie Malignaggi with a brutal clean right hand in April of 2014 in the lone defense of his title. Porter lost the IBF belt less than four months after the Malignaggi victory in a close majority decision defeat to undefeated British superstar Kell Brook, but he bounced back with a fifth-round knockout of Erick Bone in March of 2015. Porter scored what many considered an upset victory in his next bout over then three-division world champion Adrien Broner with a clear unanimous decision last Meitheamh 20 i Las Vegas.
The aggressive, come-forward Porter has built his career as a perennial underdog who relishes in the role. Ach, with the resume he has built, it’s hard to consider him an underdog anymore heading into this crossroads showdown with Thurman.

TUCSON, Ariz. (Jan. 22, 2016) – Undefeated middleweight prospect Rob Brant scored the most impressive victory of his career with a fourth-round knockout of Decarlo Perez in the main event of ShoBox: An Giniúint Nua, beo ar Showtime ar an Aoine from Casino Del Sol in Tucson, Ariz. Highlight VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1QqySWm
Known more for his boxing prowess, Brant (19-0, 12 Kos) displayed impressive power. After a big first round, in which he threw 97 punches and more of the same in the second, Brant floored Perez with a straight-right shot midway through the third.
The Minnesota native kept on the gas in the fourth and landed another straight right that sent Perez falling straight back partially through the ropes. Perez (15-4-1, 5 Kos) awkwardly landed back into the ring and referee Rocky Burke instantly ended the fight at :39.
“The game plan was to be aggressive,” Brant said. “We knew we wanted to show him our power early and make him respect us right away. When I caught him with the right on the temple in the third I knew we had him. And then when I connected in the fourth it was lights out, game over. I just want to get back in the ring as soon as possible and continue making progress.”
Perez, who entered the fight coming off an impressive win over previously undefeated Juan Ubaldo Cabrera last August on ShoBox, said he just got caught with a good shot.
“I just got caught,” Perez said. That’s all that happened. I didn’t see the shot coming and he was speedier than I thought. He’s fast and he got me with something I wasn’t ready for.”
SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood was surprised by Brant’s performance.
“Brant showed a dimension we hadn’t seen before,” Farhood said. “He’s thinking man’s fighter who fought an angry fight. Agus, as result of that, you have to put him near the very top of the list of middleweight prospects.”
Undefeated heavyweight prospect Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller floored Donovan Dennis twice in a thoroughly dominating seventh round TKO (2:31) sa ShoBox comh-gné.
Miller (16-0-1, 14 Kos), who went past the sixth round for the first time in his career, i dtír 52 faoin gcéad de chuid shots cumhachta. The Brooklyn native scored two knockdowns in the first round – the first with a devastating looping right, the second with a straight to the chest – and had Dennis nearly out on his feet in what looked like a certain first-round finish.
The southpaw Dennis (14-4, 11 Kos) somehow survived the round and actually pushed Miller into uncharted waters. Dennis had some moments where he out boxed his opponent, but Miller’s power and size – a 56 pound weight advantage – was the deciding difference. Dennis was breathing through his mouth and gasping for air when referee Tony Zaino wisely halted the contest as “Big Baby” teed-off on his defenseless opponent.
“I had him out in the first round, but I threw my shoulder out throwing a left hook,” Miller said. “I was looking for the knockout so bad he started catching me with some shots. So then I decided to box a little bit and that’s what I did until the knockout came.
“I’m glad it went seven rounds. It taught me to go to Plan B. I can box beautifully when I want and I showed some of that anocht. It was good experience. My power was there; my wind was good. I was breathing well and seeing the shots.”
Tar éis an troid, Miller called out the two American heavyweight world champions.
“Charles Martin, I’m coming for you. Deontay Wilder, I’m coming for your Alabama BBQ.”
In the locker room after the bout, Dennis admitted that he was surprised by Miller’s boxing ability: “He’s a better boxer than I thought he would be. That surprised me.”
I bout oscailt an telecast, undefeated welterweight prospect Bakhtiyar Eyubov impressed with a dominating demolition of the durable Jared Robinson with a third round TKO (:56).
Yeyubov (10-0, 10 Kos), who scored three knockdowns in three rounds, recorded his 10ú knockout in his 10ú career professional fight. The hard-throwing Eyubov landed a staggering 57 percent of his power shots while throwing only three jabs in the fight. The Kazakhstan native scored two knockdowns in the first and one in the third over the veteran Robinson (17-3-1, 17 Kos), who was only the second opponent to push Eyubov into the third round.
“Was I surprised at how easy it was? Ná Gan, I can’t believe he made it to round three,” Eyubov said. “The ref should have stopped it earlier. I am much smarter than I was before. I expect more of myself now. It was another step forward and I promise everyone all my fights will be like that. I am like (Arturo) Cats.
“My trainers are teaching me to move my head, and I’m confident that no one can hurt me. I will never ever be knocked down.”
Yeyubov, who entered the ring with a “papakha,” explained his cultural dance following the knockout win.
“The dance and the hat are traditional Kazakhstan traditions,” Eyobov said. “I was honoring my countrymen with that dance. And the hat is a symbol of my honor. No one can take that hat from me. "
An ShoBox tripleheader will re-air on Dé Luain, Jan. 25 ag 10 p.m. AGUS/PT ar Showtime Lorgaire agus beidh sé ar fáil ar Showtime AR ÉILEAMH® ag tosú Dé Sathairn, Jan. 23.

Maidir ShoBox: An Giniúint Nua
Ó bunaíodh é i mí Iúil 2001, an tsraith criticiúil clú dornálaíochta Showtime, ShoBox: An Giniúint Nua tallann óg Tá feiceáil comhoiriúnaithe diana. An ShoBox tá an Fhealsúnacht a televise spreagúil, slua-taitneamhach agus cluichí iomaíocha am céanna ag soláthar an talamh a chruthaíonn do ionchais toilteanach chinneadh le dul i ngleic le haghaidh teidil domhan. Tá cuid de na liosta atá ag fás de na 65 trodaithe a bhfuil le feiceáil ar ShoBox agus dul chun cinn a garner teidil domhan Áirítear: Andre Ward, Deontay Wilder, Erislandy Lara, Shawn Porter, Gary Russell Jr, Lamont Peterson, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Omar Figueroa, Nonito Donaire, Devon Alexander, Carl Froch, Robert Guerrero, Timothy Bradley, Jessie Vargas, Juan Manuel Lopez, Chad Dawson, Paulie Malignaggi, Ricky Hatton, Kelly Pavlik, Paul Williams agus níos mó.
Seaimpín Trom Nua Nua Deir Charles Martin: ‘Tiocfaidh Mo Chuid Am Soiléir!’
Curadh Trommheáchain IBF úrnua “Prince” Charles Martin (23-0-1, 21 Kos) chóir a bheith ar scamall a naoi.
Ina sheachtú bliain de dornálaíocht agus beagán sa tríú háit mar ghairmí, Tá Martin ar an séú cos ó dheas le craobh meáchain trom a bhuachan riamh tar éis dó TKO a scóráil 3 thar barr-iomaitheoir na hÚcráine Vyacheslav Glazkov oíche Dé Sathairn seo caite, Eanáir 16, ag Ionad Barclay i Nua Eabhrac.
Is éacht iontach é aon teideal domhanda a bhuachan nach sroicheann an chuid is mó riamh le blianta fada de dornálaíocht. Cuir leis gur thóg Martin amach an 2008 Buaiteoir bonn cré-umha Sár-mheáchain Oilimpeach le bheith ar an dara curadh trom-mheáchain Mheiriceá i rannán a athnuachan go tobann.
“Mothaíonn sé go maith,” admhaíonn Máirtín. “Bhí mé ag iarraidh é a dhéanamh go tapa. Ní raibh mé in ann fanacht,” míníonn sé faoina ardú céime tapa. “Tógann roinnt rudaí a deir siad am ach nuair a bhíonn tú i ndáiríre meáite ar rud éigin a dhéanamh, déanfaidh tú é chomh luath agus is féidir.”
Agus a áit cinnte cheana féin sna leabhair staire dornálaíochta agus roinnt imeachtaí brabúsaí féideartha ar an léaslíne, cén fáth nach é Máirtín an fear is sona ar domhan?
Ba é an bealach a bhuaigh sé.
“Tá mothú folamh agam faoi láthair,” arsa an curadh 29 bliain d'aois. “Bhí mé os comhair an oiread sin daoine agus bhí sé in am agam a bheith ag taitneamh ar Showtime agus mo scileanna a thaispeáint don domhan. Mhothaigh mé nach raibh aon chumhacht aige agus dúirt sé liom féin gur obair éasca a bheadh ann. Bhí a fhios agam go raibh oíche iontach agam. Bhí mé ag dul go dtí KO dó agus ansin bheadh grá ag gach duine dom… ach níor tharla sé mar sin.”
Stop Glazkov ag troid i mbabhta a trí mar gheall ar ACL stróicthe ar a ghlúine agus dearbhaíodh Martin mar bhuaiteoir an teidil a bhí folamh ag an am mar gheall ar TKO de bharr díobhála..
“Theastaigh uaim an crios a bhuachan mo bhealach,” lean an díomá Martin. “Bheadh sé bainte amach sa deireadh. Bhí sé ag teacht chuige. Ní bhfuair mé fiú mo chuid uachtair a úsáid air, ach tá sé go maith ar fad.”
Humble agus thar a bheith taitneamhach, D’fhan Máirtín dea-bhéasach, iar-troid agus chuir sé a chomhbhrón in iúl do Glazkov díomách. Mar sin féin, ón oíche sin, Tá Glazkov tar éis a rá go raibh “rinne Martin amach” agus gur cinnte go mbeadh an chraobh aige murar gortaíodh é.
“Ó mo bheannacht, Tá mé ag iarraidh a bheith humhal faoin scéal, ach tá sé sin craiceáilte a dúirt sé,” dúirt Máirtín. “Má cheapann sé sin i ndáiríre, tá sé ag tuisliú. Bhí rudaí ar tí dul i bhfad níos measa dó. Geallaim duit, uair amháin thosaigh sé ag moilliú, bheadh mo chomhcheangail tar éis tosú ag teacht amach. Bhí an ceann/dó á chaitheamh agam mar bhí sé ag éirí go maith as an mbealach sa chéad chúpla babhta. Bhí mé díreach ag tosú. Shíl mé go gcuirfinn sa bhosca dó ar feadh tamaill agus ansin tosú ag dul air agus a chuid putóige a fhuip. Geallaim duit go raibh mé in ann. Shábháil an díobháil sin é. Bhris sé mo chroí nach raibh mé in ann an rud a theastaigh uaim a dhéanamh. Conas a tharlaíonn sé sin? Bhí spraoi agam.”
Deir Martin go raibh an-mhaith ag a fhoireann agus a chairde agus a ghaolta a mheabhrú dó go raibh an deireadh giorraithe as a smacht. Deir sé freisin go dtógfaidh sé saoire sciobtha agus go dtiocfaidh sé ar ais ag obair ansin.
Mar sin, cad a tharlóidh don chraobh nua trom-mheáchain Mheiriceá?
“Tyson Fury nó Deontay Wilder. Ba mhaith liom iad araon. Ba mhaith liom go léir is fearr. Sin an chéad bheart eile. Tiocfaidh mo chuid ama chun solais. Is curadh domhanda mé anois agus is féidir liom a rá go bhfuil an crios sna lámha cearta. Níl mé chun suí thart. Ba mhaith liom troid.”
Deir Martin freisin gurb é sin craobh domhanda na Breataine, Tyson Fury, cuireann sé a chuid antics magadh in iúl dó riamh, ní miste leis.
“Is maith an dornálaíocht dó rudaí den chineál sin a dhéanamh. Is maith liom go. Is gnó ar fad é. Ag deireadh an lae níl aon mhairteoil craiceáilte aige le haon duine. Níor chonnaic éinne máthair duine ar bith. Níl ann ach dornálaíocht. Bhí ort aird a fháil ar bhealach éigin. Déanann sé daoine ag iarraidh troid a fheiceáil. Táimid sa ghnó siamsaíochta agus gortaithe. Is cinnte gur troid cheart é sa fáinne áfach. Is rud neamhphearsanta é a éiríonn an-phearsanta nuair a théann siad i bhfáinne liom. Sin beirt fhear’ slí bheatha ann. Sin é ár n-ioncam dár dteaghlaigh.”

Odom, Washington, D.C, is making his third appearance.
Tickets for the GH3 Promotions event are priced at $25, $50, $75 agus 100 and are available for purchase online at www.Ticketmaster.comand over the phone at 1 800 736 1420.
An excellent boxer-puncher and tactician that likes to counter, Lopez won his ShoBox debut in his outing before last with a close, hard-fought 10-round majority decision over previously undefeated, DominicanEliezer Aquino (17-0-1 dul i). Lopez is coming off a second-round TKO over Eric Aiken caite Nollaig. 12.
Lopez was born in Phoenix, raised in Los Angeles and moved to San Antonio when he was 15. Chuaigh sé 125-23 in the amateurs and won six national championships before turning pro in February 2012. He’s trained by former two-time world champion Carlos "Famoso" Hernandez.
Munoz will be making his United States debut and first start outside of Mexico. A pro since September 2010, he’s known for his come-forward style, first-rate overall skills and proficient punching power. Chuaigh sé 140-10 sna amateurs, winning three national Junior Olympic tournaments and coming away with bronze and silver medals in national championships.
MUNOZ, who hails from a fighting family, has an uncle who boxed professionally. He’s the one he credits for introducing him to boxing when he was 13. This will be his first fight since he scored a lopsided eight-round decision over Daniel Franco caite Bealtaine 2.
Ellis upset highly regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Lámhainní náisiúnta Golden (Gausha would go on to represent the U.S. ag an 2012 Cluichí Oilimpeacha). Since going pro in February 2011, Ellis has fought in two countries (Pórtó Ríce, Mexico) and six U.S. cities (San Antonio, Carson, Calif., Winchester, Va., Nua-Eabhrac, Tulsa and Inglewood, Calif.). The 26-year-old has faced mostly modest opposition and has seldom come close to putting in a full night’s work.
Ellis had had a series of delays and restarts since turning pro but feels he’s grown from his mistakes and that he’ll be stronger because of them. Cinnte, his power hasn’t been affected. Gach 10 of his knockouts have come inside two rounds (eight in the first). The older brother of boxer Rashidi Ellis has won four straight by knockout, including a second-round TKO over Jas Phipps in his last start last Lúnasa. 29. But he seems to be taking a sizeable step-up in class here.
Odom is looking to turn it around after losing two of his last three, the most recent defeat coming via a shocking third-round TKO to Samuel Clarkson (14-3 dul i) ar ShoBox. The heavily favored, heavy-hitting Odom was dropped three times, once in the second and twice in the third, before the fight was halted at 1:15.
Odom, amaitéarach barr agus 2012 Náisiúnta Champion Lámhainní Órga ag 178 punt, Bhí 12-troid i bua deiridh streak ar Jan. 9, 2015, when he was disqualified against Andrew Hernandez. In the rematch the followingMárta 13 ar ShoBox, Odom registered a 2:47, first-round TKO.
Ina ShoBox tús, Odom, who makes for exciting scraps, dropped previously unbeaten Vilier Quinonez (8-0) twice before stopping him in the seventh round on July 25, 2014.
Smith won his ShoBox debut in his last start on a hard-fought, eight-round unanimous decision over Benjamin Whitaker caite Samhain. 6 in an outdoor fight in Las Vegas. Fighting in memory of his mother who died in late September and going eight rounds for the first time, the 5-foot-7Smith, overcame a nasty cut over the left eye from an unintentional headbutt in the sixth, rallied to score a knockdown in the seventh and triumphed by the scores of 79-73 agus 78-74 faoi dhó.
Before turning pro in April 2010, Smith was a 2008 National Golden Gloves Featherweight Champion and 2007 Náisiúnta Oilimpeacha Sóisearach Champion. His 74-2 record in the amateurs included two victories overworld-ranked contender Amir I.
Romero had 268 amateur bouts and represented the Dominican Republic at the Olympics in 2012 (he lost to Vasyl Lomanchenko). Shortly thereafter he relocated to New York. He went pro in October 2013, fought four times in 2014 and five times last year.
A slick 5-foot-9 boxer who can punch and gives opponent issues because of his awkward style and movement, Romero, 24, has beat up on ordinary opposition and is coming off a first-round TKO over LuisMeroles caite Nollaig. 5. This looks to be his most daunting assignment to date.
Williams, 24, is a boxer-puncher who’s won seven in a row since boxing a draw in his second start in March 2013. This will be his first fight outside of New York. Making his eight-round debut in his last start onDeireadh Fómhair. 8, he won a shutout decision over Czech Republic’s Michal Dufek.
Foster, 22, gets a quick-fix opportunity to redeem himself after losing hisShoBox debut on an eight-round unanimous decision to underdog Sam Seah (6-1) ar an Samhain. 6 card in Las Vegas.
A highly decorated amateur, the 5-foot-8½ inch Foster advanced to the 2012 U.S. Cluichí Oilimpeacha Trialacha nuair a chaill sé a ionchas pro unbeaten, Joseph "Jo-Jo" Diaz. Roimhe sin, Foster was a 2011 Houston Golden Lámhainní agus 2010 PAL National Champion, a five-time Ringside National Champion and two-time National Junior Golden Gloves Champion.
