PHILADELPHIA (Bulan April 1, 2021) - Welter terkalahkan Jaron “Boots” Ennis will look to cement his status as a rising star in the welterweight division when he takes on rugged former world champion Sergey Lipinets in a 12-round battle that headlines action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Bulan April 10 dari Mohegan Sun Arena di Uncasville, Conn. dalam acara Premier Boxing Champions.

The 23-year-old Ennis will be facing the toughest competition of his career in Lipinets, as he enters the ring in his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event. Representing the fighting city of Philadelphia, Ennis has used sublime boxing skills and power in both hands to make his claim as the city’s next great champion.

Ennis put together a 16-fight knockout streak that included becoming the first person to stop Juan Carlos Abreu when he blasted out the longtime challenger in the sixth round in August 2020. Ennis was unable to extend that streak in December 2020, when his fight against Chris van Heerden was declared a no-contest after round one due to a clash of heads causing a severe cut on Van Heerden’s forehead.

Trained by his father Bozy Ennis, Ennis shared his thoughts on training camp, Lipinets and more below:

On headlining his first Showtime Championship Boxing card:

“It has made my schedule a little crazier. Being in the main event on SHOWTIME brings more attention, but I like it. I like being in the spotlight. I like to shine, so it’s nothing new to me. Now it’s fight time. I am locked in and ready to rock and roll.”

Pada kamp pelatihan:

“We always do four-minute rounds in camp. I’ve been doing that since I was a baby. That’s another reason why I don’t sit down when I fight, because I am so used to the four-minute rounds. The three-minute rounds go by real fast on fight night. One thing we added this camp was the underwater treadmill work.”

On his final preparations:

“The week before the fight, we are winding it down and sharpening up. It’s been a great training camp. I have been getting better and better each and every day, and I can’t wait to perform next Saturday.”

On facing his first former world champion:

"Dia seorang pejuang yang baik, but it doesn’t mean anything to me. It’s just another day in the office. He’s a regular person just like anyone else.”

On Sergey calling him a ‘typical Philly fighter’:

“I guess he knows I’m tough, gritty and I’m ready to rumble. I’m coming there to take a win home to Philadelphia and look good doing it, by any means.”

On his knockout power:

“I don’t think I have my man strength yet. I feel it will be one or two more years until I fully have my man strength. The crazy part is, I feel like in a fight, I still haven’t thrown a real power shot and really sat down on a punch yet. Everything I’ve been knocking guys out with has been all natural strength.”

On how he views his knockout streak:

“Some people might look at a knockout on April 10 sebagai 17th KO berturut-turut, some might view it as the start of a new knockout streak. Bagi saya, I don’t really care as long as I come out victorious. That’s all that matters to me. I’m not looking for a knockout but I’m going to take it if it comes.”

Hard-Hitting Welterweights Eimantas Stanionis and Thomas Dulorme Duel in WBA Title Eliminator; IBF Junior Bantamweight Champion Jerwin Ancajas Defends Title Against Jonathan Rodríguez in Televised Opener

NEW YORK – March 17, 2021 – Rising welterweight star Jaron “Boots” Ennis faces his most difficult test in pursuit of a world title shot as he headlines his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® melawan mantan juara dunia Sergey Lipinets. These formidable contenders meet in a 12-round, crossroads fight with welterweight world title implications on Saturday, Bulan April 10 hidup di SHOWTIME di 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT dari Mohegan Sun Arena di Uncasville, Conn. dalam acara Premier Boxing Champions.

Dalam SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING co-fitur, a pair of hard-hitting welterweights square off as Eimantas Stanionis takes another step up in class as he faces former world title challenger Thomas Dulorme in a 12-round WBA Welterweight Title Eliminator. The telecast opener features IBF Junior Bantamweight World Champion Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas mempertahankan gelar melawan Jonathan Rodríguez dalam pertarungan 12 ronde.

Acara ini dipromosikan oleh TGB Promotions. Ennis vs. Lipinets is promoted in association with D&D Tinju.

“Ennis vs. Lipinets is a fantastic fight in the welterweight division that pits an ascending force in Ennis against a former world champion in Lipinets,”Kata Tom Brown, Presiden TGB Promosi. “It’s a very competitive fight that presents a fascinating clash of styles and will have big implications on the future of the 147-pound division. Another sensational young welterweight will look for a career best win in the co-feature, as Eimantas Stanionis takes on his toughest test to date in the veteran Thomas Dulorme. Adding in 115-pound champion Jerwin Ancajas seeking an impressive ninth title defense against Mexico’s Jonathan Rodríguez, and all the ingredients are in place for an action-packed night on SHOWTIME April 10.”

Ennis (26-0, 24 Biaya) is the latest in the pantheon of outstanding Philadelphia fighters, combining sublime boxing skills with natural power in both hands. After numerous appearances on ShoBox: Generasi Baru, the 23-year-old Ennis has graduated to headlining his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast. Heading into his last bout against Chris van Heerden, Ennis was riding a streak of 16 consecutive knockouts. That streak ended when the fight was stopped after the first round due to an accidental clash of heads that opened a severe cut on the forehead of Van Heerden.

“I’m excited to be back April 10,” said Ennis. “This is the type of fight I’ve been waiting for. I can’t wait to perform and put on a beautiful show. Y’all will see something special out of me come fight night. I’m excited to be the main event. It’s time for me to shine!"

Lipinets yang berusia 31 tahun (16-1-1, 12 Biaya) established himself as a force at 140 pounds when he won the IBF world title with a victory over Akihiro Kondo in 2017. He lost the title to four-division world champion Mikey Garcia in 2018 and then moved up to welterweight in 2019. He served notice that he would be a contender at welterweight when he scored an impressive stoppage victory over two-division champion Lamont Peterson in 2019. Lahir di Kazakhstan dan mewakili Rusia, Lipinets sekarang tinggal di Woodland Hills, California and is trained by renowned trainer Joe Goossen. Lipinets is coming off a hard-fought majority draw against undefeated Custio Clayton in October 2020.

“Training is grueling and I’m working hard with Joe Goossen to be at my best on fight night,Kata Lipinets. “We have a tough, young fighter in Ennis who thinks I’m a stepping stone for him. But sometimes stepping stones trip you up, and I’ll be doing my best to trip him up on April 10. I’m just doing my best to get prepared for what I expect to be a dog fight. Every fan that knows boxing knows that this is going to be a real war and worth tuning in for. I expect we’ll be fighting in a phone booth at times, but I also expect him to try to use his reach and fight me at a distance at times. But no matter what he does, I’ll be ready for him.”

Stanionis (12-0, 9 Biaya) has put together a string of impressive victories as he has climbed up the ranks from prospect to contender. He enters the match against Dulorme with four consecutive knockout victories. The 26-year-old from Lithuania, who now lives and trains in California, looked impressive as he picked up three solid victories in 2019, beating Samuel Figueroa via unanimous decision and scoring early stoppages against Julio Cesar Sanchez and Evincii Dixon. The undefeated welterweight has put the division on notice with back-to-back dominating main event performances in November and December 2020, when he notched ninth-round knockouts over Justin DeLoach and Janer Gonzalez respectively.

“This is my first time fighting on SHOWTIME and it feels like a dream come true,” said Stanionis. “Dulorme is experienced and has been a good fighter for a long time. Di atas kertas, this is my toughest fight, tapi aku siap. I’ll be prepared for whatever he brings. With our styles, itu akan menjadi perang. I’m ready to fight right now. Somebody is going down and no matter what happens, the fans are going to win.”

The 31-year-old Dulorme (25-4-1, 16 Biaya) has amassed a solid resume at 140 dan 147 pounds during his career, climbing into the ring with world champions Yordenis Ugas, Jessie Vargas and Terence Crawford. Born in Marigot, Guadeloupe but fighting out of and representing Carolina, Puerto Rico, Dulorme rebounded from a loss to Crawford for a 140-pound title by scoring back-to-back knockouts, followed by a narrow decision loss to top welterweight Yordenis Ugas. The world title challenger is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Jamal James in his last fight in August.

“I’m very excited for this fight on April 10,” said Dulorme. “I came up short in my last fight for the title, but a win against Stanionis will put me right back into the position I want. He’s young and strong, but I have a lot more experience and I will show it in the ring and it will lead me to victory.”

Representing the Philippines, Ancajas (32-1-2, 22 Biaya) was only 15 years old when he was spotted by boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. The young fighter blossomed with Pacquiao’s guidance, becoming the first world champion under Pacquiao’s promotional banner when he outpointed McJoe Arroyo for the IBF World Junior Bantamweight title in September 2016. The 29-year-old southpaw hasn’t lost since and will be making the ninth defense of his title when he faces Rodríguez. In his most recent outing in December, Ancajas stopped Miguel Gonzalez in six rounds.

“I am really looking forward to returning to the ring on April 10 for my first fight on SHOWTIME,” said Ancajas. “Everybody knows the great rivalry between the Philippines and Mexico, and I look forward to adding another explosive fight to that history. Fight fans know where all the action fights are right now, and that’s the 115-pound division. I’m thankful for this opportunity and I plan to make the most of it.”

Mexico’s Rodríguez (22-1, 16 Biaya) was given the nickname “Titan” because of his prodigious power. Since suffering a disputed split-decision loss to Jose Martin Estrada Garcia in March 2018, the 25-year-old has won six straight, including a first-round knockout victory over Julian Yedras last December. Dia akan membuat selain AS-nya. debut against Ancajas.

“This is the opportunity of a lifetime for me,” said Rodríguez. “When I started boxing, it was my dream to fight for the world title and win it. Pada April 10, all of my dreams and hard work will come true when I hear ‘and the new IBF champion of the world.’”

Uncasville, Conn. - Maret 13, 2021 - Mantan juara dunia dua kali David Benavidez kept his perfect ring record intact with an 11th-round technical knockout victory against veteran Ronald Ellis in their WBC Super Middleweight Title Eliminator main event on Saturday night’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast, live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., dalam acara Premier Boxing Champions.

Phoenix’s Benavidez (24-0, 21 Biaya) flashed brilliant hand speed, accuracy and power as he dominated Ellis (18-2-2, 12 Biaya) Lynn, Mass., lebih 11 rounds before referee Johnny Callas finally waved off the fight at 2:03 of the penultimate round. The 24-year-old star held a significant lead on all three scorecards (99-91, 98-92 x2) at the time of the stoppage.

“I rate my performance pretty good but I know I could have done better,” said Benavidez, who extended his perfect record to 24-0. “Ronald Ellis is a tough competitor. I just hope the fans like what they saw. I threw a lot of combinations, punches in bunches. There were a lot of times I thought Ellis was going to quit but he didn’t. Hats off to him, dia orang yang keras. It was a little later than I wanted but a stoppage is still a stoppage. I hope the fans got a good show tonight.”

A boxing prodigy turned youngest super middleweight world champion in boxing history, Benavidez turned in a masterful performance as evidenced by his punch stats, pendaratan 289 dari 532 power punches thrown for an eye-popping connection rate of 54%. Benavidez connected on 50 punches in the 11th round which ultimately led to the stoppage. Both fighters combined to throw 1,403 pukulan. Following his dominating win on SHOWTIME, Benavidez is one step closer to reclaiming a super middleweight world title.

“I want all the big guys,” Benavidez added. “Speaking for the fans too, they would love to see me against all the big guys because as you can see, I love throwing punches. I love stopping people so me versus any big name would be an amazing fight. Saya ingin [Jermall] Charlo, Canelo Alvarez, Caleb Tanaman, all of them.”

Ellis, 31, showed tremendous determination and a very sturdy chin as he absorbed the constant onslaught from the former two-time world champion. Often working off the ropes as Benavidez pressed the action, Ellis landed 89 nya 334 jabs.

“I could have popped the jab and controlled things a little bit more and not let him smother me,”Kata Ellis. “Hell yeah I wanted to finish. I didn’t want to give him that satisfaction. I could have moved a little bit more and not taken so many shots to the head. Hats off to him. He did what he had to do. Dia tidak pernah menyakiti saya, that’s the funny thing. I took a lot of shots but he didn’t damage me or have me super hurt. I never thought about quitting.”

The sports world lost an icon today as the death of Marvelous Marvin Hagler was reported hours before the live telecast began. A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hagler, yang 66 tua tahun, fought in the first main event ever on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on March 10, 1986. Hagler was honored with a ceremonial 10-count prior to tonight’s main event. Click Here to Watch SHOWTIME’s Tribute to Marvin Hagler

Benavidez reflected on Hagler’s passing after the fight: “I had met Marvin once before and he was a great champion. Someone told me he fought the first fight on SHOWTIME. Someone on my team let me know a few hours before the fight that he had passed. It’s sad and he will be missed. He was a true legend.”

Dalam acara co-main, Isaac Cruz (21-1-1, 15 Biaya) of Mexico City earned a unanimous decision victory over Argentina’s Matias Romero (24-1, 8 Biaya) in a 12-round WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator. It marked the first time that the 22-year-old Cruz went 12 rounds in his professional career. The judges’ scorecards read 114-113, 115-112 dan 118-109. SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 115-112, giving rounds 10 melalui 12 to the rising star.

“I’m not happy about the style of the fight but I am satisfied I took the victory home and we’ve come to the No. 1 spot in the WBA,"Kata Cruz. “I didn’t know what was going to happen [as far as the judges]. We forced the fight at all times and it would have been very impossible for the judges to do something to me when I was the one pushing the fight.”

Throughout the 36-minute affair, Cruz constantly applied pressure against his opponent which led to Romero, the more seasoned professional, to hold excessively in an attempt to stall the pressure. Despite being warned frequently by referee Harvey Dock, the 24-year-old Romero was never penalized. During the rough-and-tumble contest, akan tetapi, Cruz was docked a point in the sixth round for a low blow.

“He was a fighter who didn’t want to exchange punches,” Cruz added, in reference to the persistent clinching. “I was very fed up with the clinches—there was never a warning toward him. I did my best out there. Not the best way I wanted to do it but thank God we won the fight and we’re taking the victory home.”

Romero presented an effective jab throughout the fight, pendaratan 89 dari 282, but it was Cruz’s power punching that ultimately earned him the victory. Salib, who is now the No. 1 contender for a world title shot at 135 pon, mendarat 145 dari 459 kekuatan pukulan, termasuk di dalamnya 91 tembakan tubuh.

“Obviously I’m not happy with the decision,” stated Romero following his first professional loss. “I thought maybe it was a draw. Overall I’m happy with my performance. He’s supposed to the be the ‘Pit Bull’ and I went the distance. You have to take the opportunities when they are presented and I wish I would have had more time to get ready for this fight.”

In the evening’s opening bout, Cleveland’s Terrell Gausha (22-2-1, 11 Biaya) scored an impressive second-round technical knockout over fellow Ohioan Jamontay Clark (15-2-1, 7 Biaya) Cincinnati. Gausha, 33, did not land a single power punch in the opening round but worked well behind the jab, winning the round on two of the judges’ scorecards. As the second round neared completion, Gausha beautifully countered a lunging left hand from the southpaw Clark which sent the 26-year-old to the canvas for the first time in his professional career. Clark beat the count but moments later was met by a barrage of unanswered punches in the neutral corner. Referee Arthur Mercante jumped in and called a halt to the bout at 2:44 putaran kedua.

“I knew Jamontay was a tough kid, I’ve been watching him since Cleveland so I knew about him already,” said Gausha. “I felt like I had a chance to knock him out but I didn’t know how the fight would play out. But I feel I did good, executed the game plan. My coaches had been studying film and we executed.

“I just took my time,” added Gausha. “I was setting traps. I knew he would be open eventually, but I had to be cautious too because he’s a rangy guy, has a good left hand. But I knew there were holes in his game and we executed and when the opportunity presented itself, we landed that big right hand.”

With his emphatic stoppage win, itu 2012 Olympian emerges as a contender for a title shot in the super welterweight division. In his first and only world title shot in 2017, Gausha dropped a unanimous decision to current super welterweight world champion Erislandy Lara.

“I know I made a statement tonight,” added Gausha. “I put the division on notice. I’m locked and loaded and I’m ready. I want to be a world champion so I’m looking to fight whoever I need to fight to get to the belts.”

Sabtu SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will replay Sunday at 8:55 a.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Monday at 10 p.m. ET on SHOWTIME EXTREME.

CLARESSA SHIELDS MENGUASAI MARIE-EVE DICAIRE, MEMBUAT SEJARAH SEBAGAI PETINJU PERTAMA YANG MENJADI JUARA TAK TERDUGA DI DIVISI BERAT KEDUA

BINTANG TAK TERKALAHKAN MENGUTIP JUNI DI LAS VEGAS UNTUK DEBUT MMA nya; MENYEBUT KATIE TAYLOR DAN SAVANNAH MARSHALL DALAM WAWANCARA PASCA-FIGHT

(Hari Jumat, Bulan Maret 5, 2021 – Flint, MY) Superstar wanita Claressa Shields melanjutkan klaimnya sebagai "GWOAT" tinju pada Jumat malam dan menjadi WBC yang bersatu, WBO, IBF & Juara Dunia Kelas Menengah Super Junior WBA, dengan mencetak keputusan bulat 10 ronde satu sisi atas Marie-Eve Dicaire dari St-Eustache, Quebec, Kanada, dalam acara utama 10 putaran dari all-women bersejarah "WANITA SUPER: PERISAI VS. DICARE acara di Dort Financial Center dan langsung bayar per tayang di kampung halaman Shields di Flint, Michigan.

Shields (11-0, 2 Biaya) juga menjadi petinju pertama di era empat sabuk yang menjadi juara dunia yang tak terbantahkan dalam dua divisi berat berdasarkan kemenangan shutout-nya (100-90 oleh ketiga juri) atas sekarang mantan juara Dicaire (17-1).

Tidak seperti biasanya, Shields yang berusia 25 tahun berubah menjadi counterpuncher di awal pertarungan ini, untuk mengimbangi upaya Dicaire untuk memantul masuk dan keluar dari jangkauan. Mengandalkan refleksnya untuk menghukum segala upaya agresi oleh Dicaire, Shields menutup pemain Kanada itu dan kemudian kembali ke serangan biasa ke depan dalam pertarungan.

Dicaire mendaratkan kidal berkualitas yang tersisa di Shields di ronde keempat, mungkin satu-satunya pukulan signifikan dari pertarungan, dan Shields mengabaikannya tanpa efek.

Saya tidak bisa marah tentang penampilan saya,” kata Shields setelah pertarungan. “Dia terus menyikut dan menandukku. Saya mencoba untuk KO dan saya hampir mendapatkannya beberapa kali, tapi kami punya waktu dua menit dan wasit tidak menghentikannya ketika dia memegang saya dan menyikut saya. Saya senang tetapi saya masih menginginkan KO. Saya hanya tidak punya cukup waktu. Pada akhir hari, Saya adalah juara baru yang tak terbantahkan di 154 dan petinju pertama yang menjadi juara tak terbantahkan dua kali.”

Shields mengatakan dia senang telah menyelesaikan bagian sejarah terbarunya di depan keluarga dan teman-temannya di Flint, bahkan jika pandemi berarti lebih sedikit penggemar yang hadir.

“Dengan Covid, kami tidak dapat memiliki kapasitas penuh. Ada 300 di sini dan itulah kapasitas hari ini, jadi kita punya rumah penuh. Kami tidak dapat memiliki kapasitas penuh, tapi aku tahu jika kita bisa, kami akan memilikinya 6000 orang di sini. Saya senang bisa melakukannya di sini (di Flint). Saya mulai bertinju di Berston Fieldhouse di 11 tua tahun. Tidak pernah dalam sejuta tahun saya pikir saya akan berada di bayar-per-tayang dan berjuang untuk gelar yang tak terbantahkan dan menjadi salah satu bintang terbesar dalam tinju. Saya hanya ingin memenangkan medali Emas Olimpiade. Tuhan telah memberi saya dua medali Olimpiade. Saya sudah 12 sabuk juara sekarang. Rasanya tidak nyata untuk mengatakan tak terbantahkan dua kali.”

Ketika ditanya tentang dua saingannya yang tersisa di tinju, sesama superstar Katie Taylor dari Irlandia dan penakluk satu kali di amatir, Savannah Marshall dari Inggris, Perisai yang dipenuhi dengan kepercayaan diri.

“Katie Taylor tidak perlu khawatir. 147 pound adalah. Mereka harus membayar saya banyak untuk kehilangan pantat saya dan pergi ke 147. Pada akhir hari, Aku seorang wanita. Saya tidak memiliki payudara besar, tapi aku punya pantat yang bagus, jadi datanglah dengan adonan itu dan saya akan berada di sana. Setidaknya satu juta dan saya akan berada di sana.

“Savannah Marshall tidak bisa bercinta denganku. Mari kita tetap nyata. Savannah Marshall, Anda memenangkan keputusan yang beruntung ketika kami masih kecil. Juga London menjadi tuan rumah Olimpiade. Jika Anda ingin menyombongkan diri tentang mengalahkan saya 14 poin ke 8… ayo sekarang. Dan kemudian saya menjadi juara dunia di tiga divisi berbeda dan dia bangkrut. Dia tahu dia tidak bisa dan tidak akan pernah bisa bercinta denganku. Dia bisa datang ke Amerika. Saya akan pergi ke Inggris. Kita bisa pergi ke Meksiko. Kita bisa pergi kemana saja, dan aku akan bercinta dengannya. Dia tahu itu. Dia takut padaku. Savannah Marshall bisa mendapatkannya. Beritahu Eddie Hearn, dia datang 250K. Katakan padanya untuk datang dengan 500K… 750K jika dia ingin aku pergi ke Inggris dan merokok gadisnya. Bayar aku.”

Dicaire melanjutkan keanggunannya dalam interogasi pasca-pertarungan dan berjanji untuk tidak membiarkan kekalahan itu mengurangi masa depannya dalam olahraga..

“Saya pikir Claressa melakukan pekerjaan dengan baik malam ini,”Kata Dicaire. "Malam ini, dia yang terbaik. Terkadang Anda menang dan terkadang Anda belajar. Malam Ini, aku telah belajar. Saya pikir ini hanya akan membuat saya tumbuh lebih kuat. Saya tidak bertinju untuk melindungi catatan saya atau menyimpan catatan saya di 0 kerugian. Saya bertinju untuk mengalahkan juara. Malam Ini, Saya memiliki kesempatan untuk melawan juara sejati. Dia menang kali ini tetapi mengandalkan saya untuk kembali ke gym dan bekerja keras dan menjadi juara dunia lagi pasti.

Shields, yang mengatakan debut MMA-nya yang banyak dipublikasikan kemungkinan akan diadakan di Las Vegas pada bulan Juni, melempar 409 pukulan dalam pertarungan dan mendarat 128 termasuk di dalamnya 34.9% dari pukulan kekuatannya. Dicaire melempar 263 pukulan sebagai balasannya tetapi mendarat dengan adil 31.

“Flint Michigan mendapat petinju paling buruk di dunia!” kata Shields kepada para penggemarnya. “Kami dua kali tak terbantahkan. Pacquiao siapa?? Canelo siapa?? Ketika orang lain melakukan apa yang saya lakukan, beri tahu saya.”



Dalam acara co-utama malam itu, Houston tak terkalahkan Danielle Perkins (3-0, 1 KO) menunjukkan peningkatan yang nyata dan memiliki waktu yang jauh lebih mudah dalam pertandingan ulangnya melawan Georgia Monica “Lay Em Down” Harrison (2-2, 1 KO), mencetak keputusan bulat delapan ronde yang dominan saat mengambil Kejuaraan Kelas Berat Perak WBC dalam prosesnya.

Mantan juara dunia amatir Perkins menggunakan setiap bagian dari atletisnya yang superior, 6' tinggi dan jangkauan 72-inci untuk bergerak di sekitar ring dan menjaga 5' 10" Harrison di teluk dengan pukulan kanan kidal yang menghukum dan diet yang stabil dari tangan kiri yang kuat ke kepala dan tubuh. Kadang-kadang, Wasit Michael Griffin tampaknya mempertimbangkan penghentian, tetapi Harrison yang tahan lama terus maju dan berayun ke pagar selama delapan putaran, meskipun kekuatan senjata datang padanya.

Skor yang 80-72 dari ketiga hakim.

“Saya minta maaf karena tidak mendapatkan KO. Saya bersumpah lain kali saya akan kembali dan memberikannya kepada Anda, Batu api,” kata Perkins, pasca-pertarungan. “Monika membuat beberapa penyesuaian kali ini. Saya memukulnya dengan beberapa palu kuat dan gadis itu tetap berdiri, jadi pujian untuknya.”

Perkins melempar 353 pukulan dalam pertarungan dan mendarat 121 termasuk di dalamnya 40.9% dari tembakan kekuatannya. Harrison melempar 273 tembakan, tetapi hanya menemukan rumah untuk 21 dari mereka.

“Saya ingin menjadi juara dunia kelas berat wanita yang tak terbantahkan,” lanjut Perkins. "Aku ingin menjadi yang terbaik yang pernah kamu lihat."

Kelas bantam tak terkalahkan Jamie "Keajaiban" Mitchell (6-0-2, 43 Biaya) dari Pacific Grove, California, tampak mengesankan dalam memukul dan menghentikan veteran yang lebih berpengalaman Noemi "La Rebelde / Tidak-Tidak ”Hutan (12-16-3, 2 Biaya) dalam lima putaran satu sisi.

Dengan hukuman dua tangan dari Mitchell yang terus meningkat setiap putaran yang lewat, Wasit Gerard White memutuskan bahwa Bosques yang tersandung dan mundur sudah cukup dan dengan senang hati melambaikan pertarungan di 1:49 dari yang kelima.

“Aku baru saja dikategorikan keluar. Saya melakukan apa pun yang sesuai saat ini,” kata Mitchell, pasca-pertarungan. “Begitulah cara saya mendapatkan KO. Terima kasih kepada pelatih saya dan terima kasih kepada Claressa Shields karena telah menempatkan saya di kartu ini. Ini adalah momen yang tak terlupakan bagi wanita.”

Sebelum mencetak technical knockout, Mitchell mendarat 48% (80/167) dari pukulan kekuatannya, dan 40% (94/234) dari total pukulannya. Noemi Bosques hanya mendarat 24 dari 153 pukulan.

“Saya suka memilih diri sendiri untuk melakukan yang lebih baik,” kata Mitchell tentang penampilannya. “Ada hal-hal tertentu yang ingin saya lakukan, tapi mereka tidak menyebut gadis ini penjaga gerbang tanpa alasan. Saya berharap saya mengeluarkannya dari sana lebih cepat dan lebih tajam dengan jab saya. Dia agak rumit.”

Dalam pertarungan pembukaan siaran, 2012 Peraih medali perunggu Olimpiade Marlen esparza(9-1, 1 KO) tetap sibuk menjelang tantangan yang dijadwalkan dari Juara Kelas Terbang WBC Ibeth Zamora pada bulan April dengan keputusan bulat enam ronde yang dominan atas KanadaShelly Barnett (saat ini 4-4-2, 2 KO).

Barnett mencoba menjadi agresif, tetapi keterampilan Esparza memungkinkannya untuk menembak lawannya yang lebih besar, hampir sesuka hati, terutama saat pertarungan berlangsung. “Kami tahu dia tangguh dan lebih besar,” kata Esparza. “Saya menginginkan seseorang yang lebih berat karena saya tidak pernah bertarung di atas 112 lbs. dan saya pikir saya menanganinya dengan baik. Saya senang dengan cara semuanya dimainkan. Saya senang menjadi bagian dari acara ini dan bisa bekerja sama dengan Claressa lagi.”

Esparza melempar 352 pukulan dalam pertarungan, pendaratan 126, termasuk di dalamnya 26 tembakan tubuh dan 38.4% dari tembakan kekuatannya. Barnett melempar 291 dan mendarat 49. Skor hakim 'yang 60-54, 6-53 x 2.

Pada bagian pra-pertunjukan gratis dari bayar per tayang, kelas menengah Timur Kerefov tetap tak terkalahkan (11-0, 6 Biaya) dengan TKO 3 atas Saint Petersburg, Veteran Florida Manny Woods (saat ini 16-11-1, 6 Biaya). Mata kiri Woods tak kuasa menahan gempuran pukulan mantan bintang amatir Rusia itu. Waktu itu 1:06. Kerefov, Detroit melalui Shalushka, Rusia dan sekarang berlatih di Kronk Gym, melempar 190 pukulan dalam pertemuan yang disingkat, pendaratan 80, termasuk di dalamnya 24 tembakan tubuh.

Acara ini dipromosikan oleh TGB Promotions. Breazeale vs. Wallin is promoted in association with Salita Promotions.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday:

Adrien Broner

“I’ve had so many great performances and I’m looking forward to another great performance Saturday night. Aku tahu dia datang untuk melawan, he’s undefeated and he’s hungry. Anybody who fights a name like Adrien Broner is going to always train to their best ability so I’m not looking at this as a fight where I just go in and destroy this guy. I’m just going to go to do what I have to do to get the victory – look good inside and outside the ring.

“I feel like I’m going to be a world champion again, lagi, lagi dan lagi. Until I’m really done with boxing. Iya Nih, I took two years off from boxing, retired and let my body heal and rest. I just feel like I’ve got what it takes to win more championships in different weight classes so that’s what I’m going to do.

"Pada akhir hari, he’s here because of me and everybody in this room is here because of me, so that’s special. Sabtu malam, the only thing that’s going to be special is this whooping I’m giving out. He’ll know then. Santiago hasn’t been punched yet. When you punch somebody, they talk different. He ain’t going to be talking like that after Saturday.

“I went through a lot of things, secara jujur. Satu hari, I just woke and said, ‘I’m done.’ In order to change, you’ve got to make change or you’ll steady get caught up doing the same thing. I cut a lot of stuff, I stopped doing a lot of stuff and I got myself together. It was a long road to get to where I’m at today and now I’m here.

"Mendengarkan, if you got a belt, just hold on to it. I’m coming to sweep it all up; WBA, WBO, WBC, IBF. I’m coming to get them all.

“Just expect a hell of a show. Aku tahu dia datang untuk melawan, He’s from Puerto Rico, mereka datang untuk melawan. But I didn’t just do all this training to go into the ring and not fight. So he’s got to know that if he comes to a war, he’s going to be in a war too. He better be coming with a lot of equipment because I’ve got a lot of equipment coming with me. I’m just ready to put it all on the line. I don’t know how he feels, but I’m willing to die in the ring. I’m willing to put my life on the line. I don’t know how far he’s willing to go. He might start thinking about his kids, grandkids, aunts, nieces, Saya tidak tahu.

“From the time I was six years old, I never took a break from boxing. So that’s what I did. Saat Ini, I’m missing boxing again, I’m back in it and we’re back to it on Saturday night.

“It’s been a hell of a training camp. Maybe one of the toughest because I had to get back in rhythm, coming back and losing all that weight and working as hard as I do. I didn’t want an easy fight so I picked a guy like Jovanie Santiago because I know he’s going to push me and bring the best out of me. That’s what I know about him. Dia seorang pejuang yang baik, an undefeated fighter, and he’s not here to lose.

“I know a lot of people don’t know these guys, but guys like Jovanie can be very dangerous because a lot of people don’t know him. I know better, he’s coming to fight, he’s a good fighter and undefeated, so I have to stay on my A-game. I’m going in to get the victory – whatever presents itself. If the knockout presents itself, Aku mengambil. You don’t get paid for overtime but I’m definitely coming to get my win.

“The overall goal is to get past this fight first. Dalam tinju, you can’t look past no opponent. I don’t care how everything looks on paper. Dalam tinju, you’re only one punch away from a knockout and that’s on both ends. So what I’ve got to do is go in, get my victory, get my hands raised first, and then we’re gonna go to the drawing board. So the plan for me is to get my victory Saturday night.

“Everything happens for a reason and I think this is going to be a great start. Seperti saya katakan sebelumnya, I didn’t want no easy out. I could have taken a pushover, but I’m not doing that. I love competition. I want somebody to test me, bring the best out of me, and that’s why I picked Jovanie Santiago. Saturday night is going to be a great fight.”

JOVANIE SANTIAGO

“This is a great opportunity for me. Sabtu malam, I’m going to show who I am. I’m going to show Adrien Broner that I’m ready to fight.

“Whatever Broner brings to the table, I’m going to beat him on Saturday night. Saya siap untuk pertarungan ini. At this point, Broner might think he has an easy fight, but he’s in the wrong. I’m here to fight, I’m here to win. Kami siap.

“This Saturday night is going to be a war and it’s going to be a victory for Puerto Rico. I’m ready to die in the line like we say in Puerto Rico.

“I know this is the biggest fight of my career. He’s a big name and I’m going to try and win for Puerto Rico. Winning this fight would be the best thing that’s happened in my career and my name would get a lot bigger in the boxing world.

“I don’t have anything to lose. Adrien Broner has everything to lose Saturday night so he better bring his A-game against me. A win for me would catapult me into a world title shot.

“AB always puts on a show so on Saturday I have to be ready to put on my own show against AB. He is a good champion but I’ve trained really hard in the gym and I’m going to show it on Saturday.

“I think Adrien Broner thinks that I’m an easy fight for him, but he’s wrong about that. I think Broner is going to let go of his hands because he sees me as a weak opponent. He’s definitely overlooking me.

“Whatever Broner brings to the table, I’m going to be ready for it. If he moves, I’m going to move with him. If he wants to brawl, I’m going to brawl. Whatever he does, I’m going to do it better than he does.”

DOMINIC Breazeale

“It’s true you’re only as good as your last fight, but at the same time I feel like this is my coming out party. It feels like my pro debut. I’ve been off for a long time and had a great training camp so I’m ready for Saturday night.

“After my last fight against (Deontay) Wilder I took a few days to digest the loss and then was back in the gym about 10 days later. I didn’t want to harp on it or let it bother me. There wasn’t really a sense of urgency, but I knew there were going to be changes and I knew they had to be done in the next couple of weeks. I focused on my eating and my training and, tentu saja, the biggest change of all was my trainer change from Virgil Hunter to Abel Sanchez.

“Switching to Abel and training up in Big Bear has been huge and something I wish I would have done years ago. Abel actually has something written on the wall that says, ‘Imagine what if.’ And I imagine ‘what if’ every night. Seperti saya katakan, I wish I would have done this a year ago, but my conditioning and my confidence are at an all-time high.

“Some people might have thought I would have wanted to get back in there with a pushover, but I’ve always wanted to fight the top guys. I saw the Otto Wallin fight and the performance he gave against Tyson Fury and then Travis Kauffman. When the name was brought to my attention, I jumped all over it. I knew that the boxing world would respect the fight against myself and Otto.

“I don’t think Otto’s been in there with a big, kuat, athletic guy like myself. Mike Tyson said it best: ‘Everyone’s got a game plan until you get punched in the mouth.’”

OTTO WALLIN

“Everybody wants to ask about my fight with Tyson Fury and they forget that I’ve done a lot more than that. But it was a great performance and I understand that most people hadn’t seen me fight before, it was a great fight and it was better than what most people thought. I’m kind of over that now. I want to move forward. It’s nice to move forward. It’s nice to be on SHOWTIME fighting with Breazeale, who has a good name. So hopefully with this fight, I beat him and move on so people can see I’m able to beat good guys.

“I think I’m more well-rounded than Breazeale. Juga, you can’t forget that I’m actually 6’ 6”, 240, so I’m not that small. I know a lot of people look at me like I’m smaller but I’m not that small. Dengan itu dikatakan, Aku cerdas, got a great team, we’ve had a great camp and I’m really good too. I’m faster than Dominic, I have better footwork, better defense, and better defense. So I’ve got to bring all of that in there, do what I’m good at and I’ll be fine.

“I think a win will hopefully help me move past Fury. But also it will put my name up there, to solidify my spot there. I don’t think this fight will get me a title shot but it will be a good shot on the way.

“I think you can expect a good fight, two good fighters. Dominic probably feels he has a point to prove and probably going to come out and be aggressive and try to come after me. I’m sure I won’t have to look for him and I’m ready for that. People can expect an exciting fight and a good night of boxing.

“Dominic is an aggressive guy so I have to be smart. I have to be who I am and set him up and I think I will be able to do that.

“I don’t feel a lot of pressure. I just have to be myself and I have to do what I do, what I’m good at. This is a big opportunity for me so I try to be positive. I waited a long time to get to this level, I’m finally here and I’m not going back.”

ROBERT PASKAH, JR.

“I’ve been in some brawls, but I really haven’t ever shown my true boxing abilities. Saya, Mike Stafford and my father (Robert Paskah, Sr.) just worked on boxing and being myself.

“During COVID it really set me down and being off for all that time and never really knowing when I would get that call to get back in the ring. So I really had to focus up and I had to be ready whenever I was given that phone call. It motivated me. Lebih Banyak, I had to look over my son and make sure he was alright. So it really put a different drive in me. This pandemic really set everything back, but we’re more than ready.

“140 is definitely the place for me to be right now. That’s the future. We’re worried about present right and capturing this title at 140.

“I’m just worried about me and showing my skills and everything we’ve worked on in training and this camp.”

RYAN MARTIN

“We fought in the amateurs and he beat me so there’s definitely a little chip on my shoulder there. I want to get back at him and let him know that I’m not a 16-year-old kid anymore.

“This fight is going to put me right back up there to be in a position to fight any of the champions or top contenders in the division. This fight is definitely going to steal the show.

“I’m focused. My mind is clear. This fight right here gets me excited. We’re two Ohio fighters with history – I’ve got a chip on my shoulder. It’s going to be an action-packed fight and I’m going to bring it. I’m not really surprised that Easter says he doesn’t see much difficulty in fighting me. I kind of expected him to say that. Easter is Easter.

“It’s going to be very important that I let my hands go against Easter. I feel that this fight is going to have so much action. I’m clear minded. Saya siap. Sabtu malam, we’re going to get in there and let it fly.

“Words can’t explain how excited and anxious I am for this, to tell you the truth. I’m just so ready for Saturday night. I’m ready to get the weigh-in over with, get under the lights on Saturday night and put on a show. It’s going to be an entertaining fight. A lot of people are saying a lot of things about me based on the Josh Taylor fight. Jadi, it’s kind of like I’m battling two things.

“Easter just needs to come with it on Saturday night. I always knew this fight with Robert Easter was going to happen. I don’t know why, but I just always knew that we would meet again in the ring. I think it’s because we were both in Ohio – he was in Toledo and I was in Cleveland – and I just always thought I’d get this fight. I just didn’t think it would happen like this in a bubble.”

The four-fight telecast is promoted by Salita Promotions.

“I am delighted to promote an exciting night of boxing, featuring some of the best young talent in boxing in opposing corners,” Salita said. “The February 17 card features possibly the best new talent in four different weight divisions in pick ‘em fights. Middleweight Timur Kerefov, fighting with trainer SugarHill Steward in his corner, is looking to quickly climb up the ladder. Super featherweight Alejandro Guerrero is fighting his toughest test against Abraham Montoya. Super middleweight Vladimir Shishkin is looking for a breakout performance against the hungry Sena Agbeko, who is looking to make a name for himself. This show may also be the crowning of one of the best new welterweights in the world with an exciting matchup between undefeated prospects, Janelson Figueroa Bocachica and Mark Reyes, Jr.”

Steward, who legally changed his name to SugarHill Steward to honor his late uncle Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward, calls Kerefov, “One of the best middleweights in the world right now,” and that there is no limit to how far the 30-year-old can go. “We don’t have long conversations because of the language barrier, but I’m impressed how Timur is able to process the information I tell him, and quickly get better in the short time we’ve worked together,” said Steward, who is also training Anthony Dirrell at Big Time Boxing and Fitness in Boca Raton, Fla. “The Russians who come to Detroit are here to work and not run the streets, yang saya suka. They have families and know that boxing in the United States is the mecca. Jadi, they take it very seriously.”

Bocachica vs. Reyes – 10-Round Welterweight Main Event Bout

After the last appearance onShoBox, I felt like that was the performance that I needed,” Bochachia said. “I picked Mark Reyes out myself because I wanted better competition and he is 14-0. I want to put a statement out to all of the fighters in the 147-pound division. A win gets me closer to my dreams. I am fighting better opposition. It shows that Janelson is the truth, and I am coming for everyone in the welterweight division. I am not worrying about anything.

Training camp has been going great and I will be ready.

Shishkin vs. Agbeko – 10-Round Super Middleweight Bout

Shishkin has previously fought twice onShoBox earning impressive wins over Ulises Sierra and DeAndre Ware.

Agbeko has fine-tuned his craft serving as a sparring partner for Caleb Plant, Badou Jack and Brandon Adams. Agbeko currently lives in Nashville, Tenn., with his wife.

“Training is going great and we’ve been training for a while already, so we’re just doubling down on a few things and fine-tuning as well for the fight,” Agbeko said. “I know my opponent has an extensive amateur background and a style that’s reflective of where he’s from in Russia. I expect an aggressive, yet well-calculated fighter. I will win this fight because I know I want it more and, as a result, have put more effort into preparation. My superior boxing skills coupled with desire and effort will get it done.”

Guerrero vs. Montoya – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout

Berjuang dari Houston, Texas, Guerrero is a big-punching prospect who won a closely contested slugfest via majority decision over Jose Angulo in the lastShoBox telecast before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the sports world for several months in March 2020.

Seorang amatir terkenal yang memenangkan dua gelar nasional junior, the 22-year-old “Pork Chop” has sparred with the likes of world champions Mikey Garcia and Brandon Rios at the famed Garcia Boxing Academy in California.

“I know nothing about my opponent, but I’ve watched one clip of him and that’s all I needed to see to know he will go down,” Guerrero said. “This fight will mean a lot to me because it will show the world I’m the real deal. I will win this fight for my career and my family.”

The 26-year-old Montoya, of Baja California, Meksiko, will be making his United States debut on February 17 and will be fighting outside of his native Mexico for just the second time. After dropping his second professional contest, Montoya rallied to go unbeaten in his next 18 bouts before traveling to Russia in November 2019 to take on undefeated prospect Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov, where he lost a 12-round decision. Montoya rebounded to score a second-round TKO over Reyes David Lopez his last time out in October, and also owns an impressive victory over then-undefeated prospect Luis Alberto Lopez Vargas.

“Fighting in the U.S. and on SHOWTIME has always been my dream and I can’t wait for February 17 to show what I can do,” Montoya said. “I’ve never worked or trained as hard for a fight as I have for this one. I’ve seen my opponent and know he will bring the action just like his last fight. He will be tough, but I’m as ready for this as I’ve ever been.”

Kerefov vs. Espana – Eight-Round Middleweight Bout

Hailing from Shaluska, Rusia, and now fighting out of Detroit, Mich., Kerefov will make hisShoBox Debut Februari 17.

Di 2019, Kerefov turned in five impressive victories in Russia prior to his United States debut at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit in August 2020, where he turned in a dominating unanimous decision victory over Calvin Metcalf in a middleweight bout.

“I am in the middle of a great training camp with trainer SugarHill Steward in Florida,” Kerefov said. “I look forward to showing the boxing fans that I am the new face of the middleweight division.”

The 31-year-old southpaw, Espana, will be fighting for the first time in the United States as 14 nya 16 professional bouts have taken place in Venezuela. The power-punching Espana’s only career loss was to Dervin Colina in 2019 dan 14 nya 15 victories have come via knockout. Pada bulan Desember, he TKO’d Leonard Carrillo in his last fight.
